Naozari Dungeon - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

It seems a little weird that he's flat out re-using characters from his other manga (maybe it's a prequel? been too long since I read the others), but hey, Tezuka did it.

Also, if anyone's wondering about what the heck is going on with ogres and snakes, there's an old saying 'Oni ga deru ka Ja ga deru ka' which basically means 'Maybe an oni's going to come out? Maybe a giant snake will come out?' neither of which normal people want, so it's a way of saying 'this is some dangerous shit here' or 'this will probably end badly'. The 'ogres' here are obviously oni (it's a valid translation), so that's basically the joke. There are all these ogres, where are the giant snakes?

And thanks for translating, D,SmH! Sometimes it's nice to get these 90s throwbacks, back when you could have fun with something like this without needing a slave harem.

Thanks for translating!

I do have a question though, what is the relation between this and the other two series on here with similar names and apparently the same trio as leads? Sequels? Is there an order to them?

eyyy thank you so much for starting up Naozari! I was gonna get to it after I finished Nariyuki, but this takes a load off lol

Naozari is a prequel to Ozanari. Nariyuki is a direct sequel to Ozanari. There's another sequel series, Ozanari Dungeon TACTICS, which is set after a multi-year in-universe timeskip (think, like, DBZ to Ozanari's DB), and another another sequel, Ozanari Dungeon Cloud Pangea, that only got like two chapters before funding issues and the pandemic put it on hiatus.

To expand on that a little bit, Ozanari probably means "Commonplace" or similar in this instance, though it can also mean "perfunctory" or "slapdash", but Commonplace Dungeon, or Everyday Dungeon sounds about right.

Nariyuki means progressive or additional, which would make sense as the first sequel series - Additional Dungeon.

Naozari is twofold. First, it's a pun since it's the characters of Ozanari rearranged, but also it means, loosely, "Negative", so, being the prequel, Negative Dungeon, or Minus Dungeon to contrast the sequel, Additional Dungeon.

I'm really happy someone else is bankrolling the prequel. That's all I've wanted to see after comming the original series. Just more interest in classic fantasy manga, especially Ozanari Dungeon.

I'm also very happy to see the origin of that team, and I'm thankful to the translation group.
But it's it me or the translation was this time rather weird? Most dialogs seemed to make no sense.
