Gene therapy, Modified RNA tech.

A fitting end to this series.

It still amazes and unsettles me this style of story-telling. It seems unreal, yet real at the same time. There are a lot of underlying and trailing thoughts behind. At the same time, it's too much of a personal decision and too out of personal control to pursue.

It's also not the end. It lingers and remains open. Some things are difficult to conclude. Or simply, there's yet to be a conclusion.

Thank you very much for the scanlation of this series!

So there’s a ‘Designs: 2’, right?

 

[Predatornoa]

Damn. I need a re-read soon. Thanks for your amazing translation & scanslation over the years. One of the most beautiful scanslation work I have seen on such a beautiful piece of art.

 

[Firemorfox]

A chilling beauty.

 

[Itsa_Bout]

I'm super confused but I still loved it

 

[Baraqiel]

Sublime

 

[Samspot]

I'm so grateful this was translated
Children of the sea is my favourite story, but it’s so hard access any other work from Daisuke Igarashi

 

[Ajira]

Thanks for the translation and Igarashi Daisuke mangas hit different...

 

[Doomroar]

Even till the very end Igarashi never saw the AI hype boom coming, he even considered aliens before even thinking that machines were going to be the new hotness

I'm reading Children of the Sea right now. It hits me how things are interwoven and interconnected, but we can only do so much, focus on so much.

 

[ApronOn]

what a powerful and provocative story that feels ever the more relevant thank you for the TL!

Thanks for translating this series! It is another work from Igarashi Daisuke that is so strange, yet compelling. The use of the sometimes even full 2 page artworks for seemingly random details of the environment really highlights the surreal feeling. But it also strengthens the theme of our environment/surrounding forming us.

Now can anybody explain to me what that part about Okuda's environment with gods and such was about?

And that Sean's father apparently really wanted to solve world hunger is somehow so fittingly bleak for this work.
