A Flower Blooming in the Room

By Yoshihiro Togashi

I translated this 10-page manga that Togashi drew to the "DRILL CAPSULE -DRILL CAPSULE MARKETS-" doujinshi (pp.141-150).

The japanese scans were shared on Weibo by 山是三山岛的三

"DRILL CAPSULE" is a series of doujinshi created and released during 1997-2000, with the participation of famous manga artists such as Nobuyuki Anzai (Flame of Recca).

There are several volumes: "DRILL CAPSULE", "DRILL GUNDAM 00800", "DRILL CAPSULE 2", "SHADOW FLAME", "SHADOW FLAME 2", "DRILL KENSHIN", and "DRILL×HUNTER". They can be roughly divided into two categories according to the content: "free play by the author" and "secondary creation using another work as motif".

Togashi participates in the first volume (1997) with a "free play", an original and super beautiful story.

Hana is a flower that blooms and grows in the emotionless room of Tatsuya Oshii. They spend time together and everything seems fine, until...

It's so sad and beautiful! Now that Tatsuya is happy, she eventually withered. She doesn't want to bloom again. She doesn't want to grow in his room without emotions anymore.

Her last message to him was entirely written in katakana. She probably can't read or write japanese (hiragana and kanji) very well. That's why she said she had a poor handwriting, and couldn't help him copy his notes.

The last panel is touching, the seedling that sprouted from her body ended up becoming wonderful flowers. I bet she's satisfied with Tatsuya's smile. The new her is now blooming in a room full of happiness :)

The scene Hana and Tatsuya are playing video game is exactly the same scene of Genkai and Yusuke in Yu Yu Hakusho.

In the Table of Contents, Togashi starts commenting that he drew a manuscript of 17 pages. But, he was joking, and the story ended up with only 10 pages (lol).

"I did it, I drew the 17-page manuscript in one week. I haven't actually drawn it yet, but if I say it beforehand, I definitely will. Perhaps…" (Yoshihiro Togashi)

In this book, there's also an illustration of Mukuro made by Nobuyuki Anzai (Flame of Recca)

If you're interest in others Togashi's doujinshi, please also read the crossover he drew of Akira VS Pikachu (1997). There's also the Togashi Empire Doujinshi (1999) he wrote with Naoko Takeuchi.
