Excel Saga by Rikudou Koushi: Serialized in Young King Comics Excel Saga Manga Translation version 1.0 Volume 1 Mission 3 P. 55 Character Introduction No. 3 (For purpose of this translation, details are listed from top to bottom on the right and then top to bottom on the left.) Brain: Is she naturally this way? Or is she intentionally evil? It's very subtle. Mouth: It seems that this is where she gags on blood and breathes out carbon dioxide. Heart: Does she really have one? Digestive system: X-rays show a gigantic amount of shading. Arm: Easy to see she has an irregular pulse. Leg: She can run the 100 meter dash in 11 seconds. It seems like she's gifted, but she would probably die before finishing. Achilles Heel: Her whole body is her weak point, so it doesn't really matter. Eyes: They look bad, but occassionally she can see well. She usually wears contacts. Lungs: The place she vomits blood from is probably here. Stomach: Maybe also here. OO: If you think deeply about it, you'll lose. (my guess for an English equivalent is don't even think about it.) Hips: "No panty shots allowed" seems to have been established. "Favorite colors are red and black."
