his Buddy Barnaby continues to be a hero. Though Kotetsu is now a sole proprietor and runs his own office, he continues his relationship with Barnaby.
バディの話だと社会の暗部にもっと切り込んでいく話作れそう。
Through this relationship, I think I can create a story that cuts deep into the darker parts of society.
そして虎徹さんの事務所に記憶を失ったユーリが合流するとか。
And Yuri, who has lost his memory, will work for Kotetsu (TN: Yuri will join Kotetsu's office, but since Kotetsu is a sole proprietor, this means Yuri will actually work for him)
あとハンドレッドパワーも一定期間消失後にサウザンドパワーで復活進化とか。
Also after Kotetsu's Hundred Power has been gone for some time, it will revive and evolve as the Thousand Power.

TN: Changed title to match the title used in the previously translated audio drama; however, 憂鬱 (yuuutsu) can also be translated as "depression", "gloomy", and "melancholy", so both titles work. "Yuri Petrov's Gloomy Daily Life" also sounds pretty good.

Trying to catch up on things and I'm a little confused - how many manga series does Tiger & Bunny have?
I have 7/8 volumes of Tiger & Bunny in English, but your recent ask mentions you're working on volume 7 of what you're translating as well, which from what I gather *has* no english release(?) so I assume it's a different series??
Plus the Anthologies exist, and the The Beginning sides A and B... are there more? What is happening I'm so lost, why is this so underappreciated in the US and hard to learn about lol
YEAH SO. Here's what's officially available in English, to the best of my knowledge:
Tiger & Bunny by Mizuki Sakakibara (9 volumes)
Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning by Tsutomu Oono (2 volumes)
Tiger & Bunny Comic Anthology 2-in-1 (2 volumes)
— These are compilations of unofficial 4-komas and short stories that were originally published in Japan by Asuka Comics DX as 4 individual volumes; to this day I'm baffled (although pleased) that this got brought over while Ueda's series was apparently passed over
Aaaaaand...yeah. That's it.
The manga series we're currently failing at translating is by Hiroshi Ueda. Officially it's called Tiger & Bunny: The Comic, but since it once ran in the Miracle Jump magazine you'll often see me refer to it as just "MJ" series" or some variation thereof. (This has fucked me over now that Tiger & Bunny: The Comic 2 runs online for a different publication.**) Whereas Sakakibara's series retells the story of season 1's first cour (albeit with some changes/additions that were apparently discarded ideas from the anime), Ueda's has completely original stories written by Erika Yoshida (one of the anime's screenwriters) that jump around in the series chronology. Frex, one of the earliest stories (both in terms of this comic series and the anime's storyline) explains why Ivan and Pao-Lin aren't around in episode 5 for Barnaby's birthday surprise (with the rest of the chapter showing them trying to make up for it), and then there's also one that's set a month or so before The Rising. Stuff like that.
**Or maybe it's still kinda the same but under a different name? Miracle Jump was previously known as Monthly Young Jump before its rebrand in 2011, and then the website that The Comic 2 runs on is Tonari no Young Jump, soooo.
Regarding Sakakibara's series, there are 4 supplementary volumes that were released collecting the bonus content that ran alongside that series when it was initially running in Newtype Ace, both published by Kadokawa Comics A:
Tiger & Bunny-Chan by Kotoni Shiroishi (2 volumes) — Features primarily 4-komas with a few short stories. And the birth of the entity known as Kittyface Pao-Lin.
Tiger & Bunny Sky High by Virginia Nitouhei (1 volume) — Four short stories featuring Sky High.
Tiger & Bunny Origami by Yanagi Yukisuke (1 volume) — Six short stories featuring Origami Cyclone.
No clue what's been going on with Sakakibara's serialization of the second season, though — haven't been following it.
For the more general unofficial-but-also-official anthologies, BOY HOWDY THERE SURE ARE A LOT... Aside from the 4 that got localized, I currently have 9 in my collection:
Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning Comic Anthology published by DNA Media Comics (1 volume)
Tiger & Bunny Comic Anthology published by DNA Media Comics (3 volumes; missing volume 1)
Tiger & Bunny 4-Koma Kings published by DNA Media Comics (3 volumes)
Tiger & Bunny Official Comic Anthology published by Frontier Works (1 volume; "official" here is written as 公式)
Tiger & Bunny Anthology Comic Go! Go!! Tiger & Bunny published by Movic (3 volumes; missing volumes 1 & 2)
Tiger & Bunny Official Anthology Extra published by Asuka Comics DX (1 volume)
I do have some scattered scanslations on hand from one or two of these volumes (from back in the T&B LiveJournal community days, ha), but before I potentially share them I need to sort out which volumes they actually belong to and make sure that any appropriate credit is retained.
