The 5 last runes seem to spell "naori", which in JP means "recovery". I'm 90% sure that the second word in its entirety is "hayonaori" aka (from what I can tell) "instant recovery". About the first word... it seems to spell "dabozu" which I can't understand. Anyone else feel like playing archeologist? (Could be "double" but I doubt it.)

Edit: Might be Younger Futhark but my unicode-fu isn't that strong.

I've seen this in a lot of scanlations, but I always wondered why characters say Ah Ah Ah all the time, it's like they're trying to laugh like the count from sesame street.

It does seem to be Elder Futhark, with some runes rotated; I rule out Younger Futhark on the basis of the presence of (o), which is not present in Younger.

2nd word: you're most probably correct; though the last letter, transcribed, would be (ae or ï, note the diaeresis) rather than (i). Mangaka's discretion, perhaps.

1st word: The first rune is either (d) or (m), ergo either (dabozu) or (mabozu), it's not really clear which one the mangaka was aiming for. Either way my knowledge of Japanese is just about nil.
