Mirai Nikki [Future Diary] Chapter 23 scanlation from Rapidshare.

It was a rush job, so some of the sentence fluency and grammar may seem stilted… I apologize. I did the translation job in one sitting.

Mirai Nikki

Please excuse the bad art

I recently read a manga titled Mirai Nikki (Future Diary) and I found it to be the best thing I’ve read since Ore Tama and Kodomo no Jikan.

The premise of Mirai Nikki is that twelve people must participate in a Battle Royale-esque game to kill each other until only one remains, who will then succeed Deus Ex Machina, the gamemaster’s position. Deus Ex Machina modifies a personal item belonging to each of the participants and turns it into a diary that details the future, and this is the main weapon that everyone fights with. When the diary is destroyed, so is the owner. The main characters of Mirai Nikki are Amano Yukiteru, a meek boy who is forced to team up with the yandere Gasai Yuno.

Yandere seems to be a pretty popular personality type for girls nowadays… Yuno’s axe skills would make Rena proud.

You can read the first 21 chapters of Mirai Nikki on SimpleManga here. The scanlation job is somewhat shoddy, but I don’t know of any other translated online source of the manga. It almost makes me want to take up scanlating the manga…if I can find a raw source, that is.
