Translator, the Japanese in the first chapter, I believe, says "tasukete", or "help me/save me." It's been a while since I practiced my Japanese, but combining the characters I know with context clues and common sense, that would be the case. I think she says another thing, but it could just be a repeat using a different Japanese alphabet. I never got to kanji and did very little of the other common ones. Pretty much just did hiragana and katakana. Anyway, just wanted to mention it. Excited to read more!
