Title: "Yotsuba's Favorite! Torako Special!"
(Well, I'm not really good with kids, but Yotsuba is fun to watch.)

1.
Yotsuba: "Tora! Do that thing again!"
Torako: "Hm...? Oh..."
2.
Torako: "You never get tired of that, huh..."
5.
"'That Thing' - Torako's shocking special skill is to hold 5 lit cigarettes in her mouth and drink a bottle of cola without putting them out. This comes from the special skill of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 3's main protagonist, Kujo Jotaro."
Torako: "Brother..."
"She pulls it off like it was nothing!"
"That's totally sick!"
"I wish I could do that!"

>>203880

Someone's a precog.

Is there a reason behind the flood of Torako pictures you foresee?

Not that I am complaining.

>>203889
Because 2010 is the year of the tiger in the Chinese zodiac.

>>203891
Oh! Makes sense then.

Well, the Social Disaster will be glad, since he seems to like Torako a lot.

>>203898

Haven't you heard? Torako is so passe. Participating in useless forum RPGs is all the rage now.

>>203903
She's still getting her share though.

>>203891
Toralumin?

>>203905
The Hobbes to her Calvin.

Anyway, since the whole year will be tiger-themed, I guess pixiv is getting an unusual amount of the other tiger girls, right? (Taiga, the girl from Hyakko, etc).

Compared to the rest of the tigers, is Yotsuba's Torako getting enough representation?

>>203885
I'll have to remember your "That's totally sick!" interpretation. I never use the phrase myself, so it usually doesn't occur to me to apply it as a translation.

Heh...Torako's "Brother..." ("Yare-yare da ze...") is Jotaro's catch phrase.

>>203906
There's probably going to be lots of Lum from Urusei Yatsura and Shou Toramaru from Touhou 12: UFO as well, I imagine. (I was going to add in Tora from Ushio and Tora, but you specifically said "tiger girls"...) So yeah, Torako may not get that much representation, come to think of it.

>>203903
God, I hope not! As far as I'm concerned, the more obscure we are, the fewer trolls we'll get. I appreciate the readers, though...all five of them.

>>203913
Okay, that's a lie. I like the attention. A lot.

>>203898
I like Torako because of that guy. I hope she gets more screen time in future chapters. Her and Asagi.

>>203886
lol...nothing there.

>>203886
Wow, I think that's the only possible outfit that could make Torako look remotely sexy.

>>203910

>sick

Some other options I came across were "wicked" or "whacked."

>catch phrase

I figured it was something like that since it was in quotes.
I've seen yare-yare translated as "Oh brother" several times before; how is Jotaro's catch phrase usually translated?

>>203922

Torako is sexy just by existing. I bet she'd be a ahem tiger in bed.

>>203926
From the wikipedia article:
"It has no direct translation but it is usually translated to the effect of, "Gimme a break." It can also mean "Well well well..." or "all-right all-right...", since "yare yare" commonly translates to "Oh well..." It generally relates of being bored or exasperation. In the official Shonen Jump Advanced manga this is written as "Give me a !@$&*# break.."."

So "Oh, brother..." fits in with the general emotional context of the line.

>>203934
Torako is the sexiest tomboy beanpole on...I'm sorry. I hate myself.

>>203884 >>203882 >>203934
she kinda looks like Koiwai in these images. Or
Koiwai is beginning to look like her. Very interesting how the male female types are blurred in the manga.

>>203953

I wonder if Azuma Kiyohiko is uncomfortable with masculinity.

>>203959
If that were the case, why would he have created Jumbo?

Or, for that matter, Kagura? (Sorry, couldn't resist)

Jigen Daisuke used to say stuff like "yare yare" to Lupin...that's where I first heard it.

>>203972
I first heard it from Kyon.

>>203974
I first heard it from Kagami (watched LS before Haruhi)

I first heard it from Kim.

I first heard it from Drosselmeyer.

The next chapter is a Torako-centric chapter. We finally learn why she wears pants all the time and has hair, like she does. And those cigarettes will be explained.

It has begun...

>>204002

Asagi: "How come you're not dressed up?"
Yotsuba: "Because Tiger is a Tiger!"

>>204060

>not dressed up

I believe this says "May this year be the same as always."

>>203898
>>203903
Agh, I am just a lazy shit of a dude. Missing out on this is probably what I deserve for spacing off coming here for so long.

>>204061
Leave it to Baron to come up with the most voluptuous (By Tora standards) Torako so far.

See also nws /azu/ for an... alternate looking Torako.

>>204333

>alternate looking Torako

You mean she has a cock, right?

>>204335
No, but she looks like she could use a sandwich though.

>>204335
I actually thought so at first because of the censor bar, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't.
I was referring to the awkward contours and shading on her body.

>>204337

The Torako picture in question makes her look like a victim of chronic diaphoresis.

Tora! Smile!

1.
Tora: "...don't just eat stuff without asking..."
Asagi: "Thanks for the taste."
2.
Asagi: "Time to dig in."
3.
Tora: "I don't suppose you're going to let me have any of yours..."
Asagi: "Of course not."
4.
Asagi: "If you wanted to try it, you should have bought it yourself."

2.
Tora: "Thanks for the taste."
3.
Asagi: "Wh..."
4.
Asagi: "What the hell are you doing Torako!?"
Asagi: "You jerk! You owe me a crepe!"
Tora: "If you want one, you should buy it yourself, right?"
Asagi: "You suck!"
Tora: "You can't have it both ways."

>>204376

Damn, Torako's smooth.

And gay.

Torako is always so awesome

I wonder if she and Jumbo will ever meet up...

>>204383

That idea sounds ripe for a fanfiction. Emphasis on "ripe".

>>204383

>I wonder if she and Jumbo will ever meet up...

I am sure they will meet, and Jumbo will think at first that she is a he and will get jealous.

Or maybe he'll be all confused and will try to guess her gender by asking clever questions, and then he'll be frustrated because Tora will answer those questions not in the manner Jumbo calculated, but in a way that clarifies not her gender o even add to the confusion.

Maybe they'll produce a great movie about that someday.

>>204383
Jumbo first sees Torako from behind as she waits for Asagi to come out. He flies into a jealous rage and sucker-punches her in the side, so hard that he ruptures one of her kidneys.
He goes to prison, and she nearly dies.

>>204391

That's a pretty neat idea there. You should make it a subplot on that forum based RPG you've been working on in lieu of finishing "The Other Takino".

That rocks for many reasons, but mostly for the fact that Asagi gets taken down a peg.

vc: goy

>>204389
Jumbo already thinks Tora is a boy from talking to Yotsuba.

>>204400

Oh right, I forgot that one (Aww cute! Yotsuba!)

But that just further supports my theory that Jumbo and Tora might meet...eventually...

>>204394
Unfortunately, they've already met in that.

>>204406
>>204391
To be fair, I totally would have had Jumbo do that if Torako hadn't already been in a coma at the time.

>>204415
Yeah, the guy playing her really fucked everything up with that.

...Wait.

Fuuka: "How come I'm the only one..."

>>204376

>>204374 Prelude to this was in >>203620.

Continuation here.

>>204499

Oho, I always love those pictures of Torako and Asagi...there needs to be more of those two

Thanks for the images, any more?

>>204496
What are those called, anyway?

>>204558
...Tiger...costumes?

>>204558
Azugirls!

Yotsuba: "Tiger! Tiger! It's the year of the tiger!"
Yotsuba: "You're a tiger too! Roar!"
Tora: "...rawr"
Yotsuba: "This year is cool Tora's year!"

>>204571

>Yotsuba: "You're a tiger too!"

"You do it too, Tora!"

>Tora: "...rawr"

Heh.

>>204574
I was wondering when you'd show up.

>>204376

Playah Tora is awesome.

Not cool, Asagi. Not cool.

>>205067
I'd put out my cig on her eye if I were her.

>>205067

"These are tiny! You really need to eat more, Torako."

"Smoking provides all the nourishment I need."

>>205079
Torakos in the wild can often sustain themselves for weeks on a single pack of cigarettes.

>>205091

They are also known for their solitary travel habits, generally in a Fiat Panda.

>>205067
This makes sense. The other azu girls just haven't found a boy friend yet. Asagi has already found her girl friend..

>>204376
Continuation, hot off the pixiv.

>>207120
I couldn't make out the little text in Torako's word bubble. It looks like おソ but I don't know what that could mean.

Oh those wacky homozuals.

>>207121
Yotsuba is such a cockblock.

Thanks Ralen~

>>207121
Looks like ポン to me, but it IS hard to be sure.

>>207122
That's a great page

I LOL'd.

Totally what yotsuba would say.

>>207133
Good to see you're back. I know you said you were going to be gone at the start of the month, but I'll admit I got slightly worried when your absence coincided with the untimely death of Amy Forsyth.

vc: inpube
...

>>207145
that would've made him a lesbian, but you knew that, too

>>207121
it's boso, half of bosoboso(mumbling).

>>207145
Thanks. It's just been incredibly busy for me since my trip out of town at the end of March. I haven't even been able to touch the last chapter of Yotsuba for my own translation practice. I may end up putting it together with the next one...if the schedule lets up.

And your concern's appreciated, but I would hope Ms. Forsyth's most regrettable death wouldn't be considered an omen for my status...

>>207153
Ah, that makes sense.

Bump!

Is there any reason why Torako is always the top in fanart other than she being more masculine than Asagi? Because that's kinda dull.

>>210563
Because she has maybe one and a half facial expressions. I imagine it's difficult to please somebody like that, or at least to imagine and draw it.

>>210563
Because she's awesome you son of a bitch.

>>210563
I could totally see Torako being a lazy bottom.
What's the Japanese term? Hetare-uke?
