Bodokan! ch1

To all inmates,
good morning.

I have decided to reform you
by holding a game.

Eh... What's with this pighead guy...?
I guess he's a police chief...?
And what's all this about a game...?
...

p2-3

It's totally a death game...

"Boudou Prison Island", said to be the most inescapable prison in the world.
Known as "Bodokan" for short.
Heinous criminals from all over the world are gathered here.
It's a special facility that only houses those with life sentences and those on death row.
Almost nobody knows what goes on inside.

Because of that,
ridiculous rumors have been flying around the internet.
"They use prisoners to conduct human experiments"
...is one.

"They house S-grade criminals
that aren't made public"
...is another.

Hmph... Not that it matters.
No matter what game it is, I'll win.
Gokudou Kumiko, head of the Nekome Group.
Declaring herself a hero, she challenged the Anti-Gang Laws, stating "yakuza and gangs are different things", inciting all the currently existing yakuza... and sending the country into chaos.
Sentenced to 200 years for subversion of the state.

From what I can tell,
the members gathered here don't seem to have any backbone.
That's somewhat boring.

What is it~?
And that dozy girl on the end was sleeping.

I'll use violence to win this in an instant...

Now then, everyone...
What does a jail... no, a prison need to be?

A prison
is a mirror that reflects the society that gave birth to it...
so the saying goes.

To be honest, our prisons are severely lacking.
It's unbelievably harsh on people for simply making mistakes.

Do you know about the prisons in Norway?
The prisoners there are free to go on trips outside all day long
and get to decorate their cells with designer furniture.

What's more, only 20% of them become repeat offenders!
That's less than half of Japan's repeat offender rate.

What this country is lacking is forgiveness and love.
Without love, humans cannot change.

But still...
for a prison guard to love so many prisoners
is a difficult task.
Hmph.

So I had a thought!
You ladies should just love each other instead.

Starting now, you will all take part
in the Become Yuri Game.

That landing didn't even remotely stick.

He was going "prisons that let prisoners go outside are awesome♪" until about halfway,
and then he stopped making sense entirely. Freaky.

More importantly,

what's with this collar~?
Can you take it off?

There it is... The type of girl who usually dies first in death games...

p10

If you refuse to cooperate with the game
or if you lose,

Those collars will inject you with a powerful aphrodisiac
and you'll transform into cats in heat.
Eh~! Oh geez, you perv~

"Eh~! Oh geez, you perv!"
Is that all you gotta say!? This is huge!!!
It's a social death game!!!

Whatever... I'm the esteemed battle-hardened head of the Nekome Group,
Gokudou Kumiko...!
I just gotta not lose, right!? Like hell I'll lose!

p11

Today, we'll be playing this game.
"Codename".

A commercial product...

Don't they usually come up with something original for these things?
There's even a 3300 yen price sticker on it...

p12

I blew all my budget on the table and chairs.
Don't blow it all!

Kh... I was wondering why those tables looked so fluffy and cute.
Don't add all those weird shapes!

Now then.
Codename is a team-based game.

The Spymaster gives out a hint
while the Operative looks through the lined up codename cards
for agents for their own team.

p13

However, hints are limited
to just one word!
With this one word,
you must find as many agents as possible.

For example, which would you pick if the hint was "apple"?

"Apple"...

Well, "juice" would be a safe bet...

I'm guessing... "computer"...
Huh!?

That's the first thing you pick?
Are you showing off?
You're pretty rude...
Oh you're totally showing off~

p14

Now now. No fighting like married couples.
It's the different images you have of these words
that are the crux of this game.
I don't understand a word this guy just said other than "gross". [tn: "crux" and "gross" are both read as "kimo"]

If someone chooses the hint "day off"
expecting "bed" and "date" to be chosen,

their teammate might lose by choosing "house" and "comic".
A game for exposing gloomers?

What's important is how well you understand your teammate.

p15

Rough - How to Play "Codename"

Divide into two teams, each choosing one to be the Spymaster.

Codename Cards
Allied Team Spymaster
Enemy Team Spymaster
Allied Team Operatives
Enemy Team Operatives

Set up a keycard that reveals the codename cards' true natures.
Shuffled the 25 codename cards well and line them up on the table.

How the Game Works

While looking at the keycard, the Spymaster declares a hint pointing to the allied spies and how many they want to guess.
The Operatives use this hint to point towards the card they think is an allied spy. The Spymaster then checks the keycode and announces if it is correct or not.

Keycards

Chosen card is an ally >>Ally
Keep chosing cards up to the number the Spymaster had declared
Chosen card is an enemy >>Enemy
The enemy claims the cards and it becomes their turn.

Bystander card is chosen >>Bystander

It becomes the enemy team's turn.

Assassin card is chosen >>Assassin

The game ends with an instant loss.
First team to guess all of their spies wins!

p16

He has a point... The important part of this game is choosing your partner...

I'm not choosing that idiot who tried to take off her collar earlier...

Neither do I want that background character I haven't even spoken to.
Well, I'd probably benefit from having a knowledgeably glasses girl on my side.

Hey...

p17

I despise old things.

Especially yakuza.

I can't believe you think volence and evil is cool.
You're a fool secluded from the masses.

p18

Therefore, you seem a better fit as my partner.
*As far as prisoners go
Gladly.
You're a prisoner too!

I'm an intelligent criminal.
I'm not a violent criminal either.

G-Grr...
So I'm with this idiot, huh.... Wh-Whatever...

p19

Any questions?

Is there a reward for the winner?
Oh! Nice catch, glasses!
But you're on the enemy team, so go die.

Fu
Of course there is.

Par~don♪ Par~don♪

These fuzzy pajamas from fuwa pique.
I would appreciate that, but...

What's with all these commercial goods!?
You're turning us into cats in heat, aren't you!?
Show some originality!!

p20

Professional board games are way more interesting
than original games thought up by an amateur!!!

Be grateful!
I could always go with that thing instead!
Confinement in "the room you can't leave without having sex"!
This guy is the worst.

There's the aphrodisiac penalty too.
You really wanna force "yuri" on us like this?

p21

Those who can choose methods
don't know the meaning of true hunger.
He's started saying some deeply scary stuff...

At any rate...
this is a psychotropic program
that has been officially approved...

I can't believe he got approval for that.
An annoying pervert who's good at organizational work.

Well, I think love that accidentally starts with the body is nice too.
There's nothing accidental about aphrodisiacs and confinement, y'know.

Well, anyway!

p22

These two teams
shall now compete.

Heart Team
Diamond Team

Who will be the Spymasters?
I'll do it.
No way I'm letting that idiot do it.

I'll represent the Diamond Team.
Gokudou-san and Megane-san, huh?

p23

Megane-san and Mobu-san will go first,
followed by Gokudou-san and Tabuchi-san.
The two Spymasters must provide hints
to expose the cards' identities.

Diamond - Heart - Bystander - Assassin
Wheel - Rope - Match - Pistol - Tube
Punk - Vegetable - Cool - Morning - Internet
Airport - Patient - Razor - Pyramid - Blacksmith
Powder - Rabbit - Meter - Bridge - Olive
Ice - England - Network - Hospital - Phoenix

I want to get one or two safe bets to start with.
It'd suck if I tried a weird attack and picked up an enemy card.

I want to give some good hints, but...
this girl doesn't look like she knows anything...

p24

Well then, before the game starts, how about some self-introductions?
I don't know anything about you, Stupid Bi-... I mean, Tabuchi-san.

Tabuchi Ranko.
An S-class criminal just like you.
Charged with marriage fraud.
So you laid a hand on someone's guy?

Creating a difference in understanding your partners is unfair, so that'll be all!
Wasn't the point of all this for us to get along!?
All I know is that she's a man-chaser!!

Well, we'll get to know each other over time.
This a marriage interview or something?

p25

...It's fine. Let's begin.
Even if we had a nice chat,
we probably wouldn't understand a thing about each other.

I guess not.

p26

Now, what to do...
In order to get "rope", "match" and "hospital",
I'd like to give "murder" as a hint, but...

The enemy team's "pistol" is in the way...

That being said, we're going second,
so there's a chance the diamond team will go straight for "pistol" too.

p27

Since it's called "Codename",
that means there's a spy theme.
I can see them going with "009" or "James Bond"
to get "pistol" and "England"...!

...
"Hub and Spoke". Three cards.
The Spymaster declares their hint word and the number of cards they want their partner to guess.

Habu... what now??

p28

"Airport"!
"Network"!
And... in terms of word derivation, "wheel"!?
The cat team gets it right!
The story's proceeding before I even know what's going on...?

+3 cards

A central location (hub), scattered locations in which luggage in consolidated (spoke) and a method of transport in which those goods are sorted and transported.
A good use of distribution lingo...
Like I'd know that!
We're not playing a Silicon Valley game over here!
Speak in Japanese!

p29

It is Japanese.
It's used often in Japanese business.
Quit making that pottery pose!

So the situation now is...

They've still got "pistol" on the field, so "murder" is no good.
For now, I should aim for "rope" and "match"...

p30

"Survival". Two cards.

Eh~ Survival?

I guess I'd need to secure food, so "rabbit"?
Heeeeeey!

Wouldn't you normally pick rope or fire!?
I'm the kind who prioritises the three desires~!

p31

Ho~hohoho
So even the world's yakuza is weak with katakana.

Now then, let's continue at a steady pase.
"Refrigerator". Two cards!
Cool!!
Meter!!
+2 cards
You're going with katakana?

Diamond Team - Four cards remaining
Heart Team - Eight cards remaining

Hmph... I don't even need to use katakana.

The difference is too great.
You have no chance of winning.
We'll see about that.

p32

I'm not bluffing...
There's a keyword that can win this.

The problem is that whether or not this girl will understand it...

That being said, this is a prison...
I can't exactly just ask "do you know this word?".

...What's wrong?
Hurry up and say it~

p33

...One question.
Do you think I'm a stupid bitch?

Eh~ Not at all.
Wait, stupid bitch?
Isn't that what you called me, Kumiko-chan?

...I see.

p34

That's good then.

420...

Friendly.
Seven cards...!

p35

S-Seven cards!?
What the heck is "420 Friendly"...?
Is that business lingo like that!?
Don't panic! She's just bluffing!

...Ah, come to think of it,

this president of a games company I once slept with said this...

p36

"Versus games are more fun when played with an evil bitch"...!
"Hospital", "Morning", "Match", "Internet", "Vegetable", "Powder", "Ice"

p37

Seven cards in one go...!?
And they're all disturbing words...

N-No way...
Such an un-yuri-like and immoral word will not be...

Who cares if it's immoral!

To think there's a katakana word I don't know about...
Just what is 420 friendly anyway~!?

p38

...
It's slang for matching apps meaning...

"it's okay if you like weed".
...
...It's like a drug relationship.

p39

Their way of winning was immoral on top of being un-yuri-like, so it's a night in the punishment chamber...
Hey! We won, didn't we!? This is too cruel!!

...Hey.
Why did you ask me if I thought you were a "stupid bitch" back then?

...Huh?
It was to get to know you.

p40

You said you didn't need to talk to others, right?
"There's no point in talking."
In other words, you think everyone else is stupid.
...It's fine. Let's begin.
Even if we had a nice chat,
we probably wouldn't understand a thing about each other.

Your crime is marriage fraud.
To pull that off, you need the analytical skill to pull information out of your partner
and the ability to act as your prey's favorite character.

If you had said "yes" back there,
it'd ruin the "stupid bitch" character you're playing while imprisoned.
Eh~ Not at all.
Wait, stupid bitch?
Isn't that what you called me, Kumiko-chan?
I figured that if you were smart,
you would answer "no".

p41

Also, in this day and age, the chance of you searching for your prey on matching apps was high.
Those who are smart would look into words that would put themselves in danger, right?
That's why I figured you'd know that word.

Well, the rest was just instinct.
At the very least, I figured I could believe in how bad you are.

p42

...The heck?

Nyao~ Nyao~

What's with those cat sounds?
Ah~

You should try not to listen.
It's that penalty he mentioned earlier.
Ah.

...For now, be happy your body's intact...
You want the fuzzy pajama top or bottoms?

p43

The bottoms, I guess...

?

I sensed a yuri bud was sprouting...
Why'd you turn off the video feed...!?
Even if it's to help,
"men are unneeded for the moment the yuri blooms"...
At the very least, that's my path of the yuri.

p44

But still...
those two S-class' are more difficult than I expected.

Next time,
we should prepare "that game"...

Bodokan ch2

Today's game is...

Hello, prison ladies.
Good morning.

Now then,
let's have another fun game today.

Ah, Chief. Hello~
I'm used to the pig mask already.
Another game?

Hmph. Everyone seems to be letting their guards down.

But not me.
It's definitely gonna be a death game this time around.

True, our lives weren't at stake in the last game,

but this time,
our collars have skulls attached to them.

This room is scary too.

~~~
Gh~...
Also, there's a guy with a huge ass bomb strapped to him right in the middle of it.

Uuh~
Uuh...
Yep... It's gotta be a death game...

45%.

Uh~...
Ladies.
What do you think of when you hear this figure?
Uuh~
I can't hear you over the all the groaning from the guy in the middle.

Forty five?
Your body fat percentage?

The correct answer is...

the percentage of prioners who commit repeat offenses within ten years of release.

That other half is working hard.
Good for them.
Doesn't that just mean the remaining 55% aren't making any blunders that would get them arrested again?

Uuhh~~ (There are a lot of criminals with antisocial dispositions)
Uuhh~ (so you can't put a fixed number of those with no place in society)
The guy in the middle is voicing his opinion.

This man committed the grave sin of getting between yuri.
Heh~

There's quite a few opinions on the matter,
but I believe this high repeat offender rate
is the result of an "intolerant society".

It takes time for society to change its awareness.
And before we can change the world, we need to do something about this "intolerant society"
and the "unignorable isolation" it has brought on you all.
They's why you need to play these games.

So,
what part of your high and mighty opinion...

involves us wearing this cosplay...?

I'm have you play this.

"Les souers dangereuses"...

In "Les souers dangereuses",
you become new students at a traditional girls' school.
The goal is to earn affection from your senpai onee-samas...
It's an "Onee-sama raising yuri card game".

Yeah, I don't get it.
Basically,

p10

you use event cards with point values on them,
and whoever presents the highest values gains the points on that card.
It has similar rules to the immortally famous "What the Heck?".

However, there's a bonus for matching cards with the same attributes, so it's quite complex.

Hmm. I don't really get it, but the drawings are cute.
Yes!
Gathering the affection of the onee-sama you find to be the cutest
is another fine way of enjoying it.

p11

(Rough) How to Play

Game Summary
Use action cards labelled 1-15 in order to scramble for event cards.

Game Flow

Pull a card from the zero pile.

Each player chooses one action card from their hand and places it face down.

When all players have played a card, flip them face up simultaneously.

GET
Event Card
Cards with matching values are negated

Value on the event card is a PLUS: Player who put out the highest value wins
MINUS: Player who put out the lowest value gets wins

What's more, event cards have attributes. Gather a certain amount and receive bonus points.

Attribute Combo Cards

Tenderness, Affection, Intelligence and Respect attributes: Gather 3 with the same attribute and receive a bonus card worth five extra points.
Wicked attribute: Gather 3 and receive one combo card. Gather 5 and receive another. Each card is worth 5 points, so depending on how many you get, you can negate the minus points you've received.
The winner is determined by Affection Points + Attribute Points!

p12

Isn't there something more important that the rules?
Like a reward or something...?

Of course there is.

The two top scorers
will receive some soap and handcream from the popular "Yosop" brand.

I would appreciate that, but...

p13

The two lowest scorers will spend a night together inside a Phalaris cow.
*Image

Scent of aphrodisiac

Aphrodisiac... An enclosed space... Clinging together...
Something's bound to happen...

I have to win.
Phalaris?
It's a torture device from Ancient Greece.

p14

I've never gotten involved with any affairs or the like in my gang.
If, for argument's sake, word got out that I got stuffed inside a cow,

I'd be a laughing stock upon release.

I need to get in the top two no matter what...

p15

Well then, please choose your characters.
Mogami Zakuro: A rich girl with a gentle vibe.
Shizukunai Azami: A literary girl who loves books more than anything.
Mugitani Karen: A gyaru who's bad at hiding it.
Hanazono Anzu: An innocent girl with a dazzling smile.

Well then, let the game begin!

p16

Turn 1
The will be our event card...

Valentine
"It's a little out of shape, but..."
Intelligence x Tenderness

Worth 4 Affection Points.

This is a nice card
for surveying the game's openings.

I'm sure everyone's thinking the same thing.

I kinda want it,
but it's not worth putting out a high card...

p17

I guess this'll do to start with.

The highest is an 8, huh...
What kind of moron would go all out?

Yay~!
I wanted this card since it's so cute!

She's a moron, but she's a surprisingly good match.

Let's move onto the next turn.

p18

Turn 2
Ooh, this one's a minus...

Violence
"Let's get along nicely."
Wicked

With a maximum value of -5 no less!

Whoever put out the card with the lowest value
will pick up this card.
Getting a -5 this early would be pretty rough...
Fu
I've seen through this game...

The trick is to go all out at the important moments...
Chivalry is my specialty!

To make sure I don't get a -5, I'm prepared fight with this 10...!

p19

*Cards with the same value are negated

Too bad!
The other three all played 4, so the -5 goes to Kumiko-san!

I'm at -5 already...
And I lost a 10 too...

Bodokan ch3

A sudden death flag...

I drew a -5 already.
I even played a 10...

Chivalry is bravery!

Remaining cards
Scores

4 (Intellect) - 0 - 0 - -5 (Wicked)

Wait... It's too early to give up...
Even if I've got the worst minus,
I've still got my powerful 14 and 15 cards up my sleeve...

At any rate, I've gotta win to avoid getting inside that cow...!

If I don't...

I might lose something something important in the worst possible way...!

You'd be surprised how easily shameful prison intel leaks out to the public...
I won't be able to show my face to my gang ever again...

You can overcome this minor hardship, Kumiko-san.
Now then, next is...
Ooh... 8 points!
Turn 3

Study Session
"Top of the school year? Of course I'm aiming for that."
Intellect

An Event Card with 8 out of a possible 10!
I want it!

Should I bring out my 15 card here...?

No... Everyone's gonna want the high valued card this early on.
There's a high chance everyone will put out 15s.

Also, since everyone has cards with 1-15 in their hands,
losing the stronger cards in the earlier rounds puts you at a disadvantage later on...

This game is likely all about understanding who put out what card...
It appears "counting" is what will determine the victor.

But a yakuza can't do something that trivial!!
It's a pain!!

Hey, Chief.
Yes?

I've got a favor to ask.
That's not how you ask someone for a favor.

I'm bowing my head and begging you, aren't I!?
You're not bowing at all.

Give me permission to break all of my opponents' fingers.
There's no way I'd allow that.

p10

Why would you even do that...?
Cos it's not fair! Megane definitely has the advantage in this game!!
She can't count if I break her fingers, can she?

How uncivilised.
Counting is a talent that comes naturally.

Wha?
This isn't a fair fight. Let me break them.
Hmm~
That's a yakuza's excessive way of thinking.

In that case,
I've got a better idea.

p11

Booze.

Pig Killer Extra Large Sake

*This is a prison.

p12

Where'd you get your hands on that?
This is a huge problem!

I asked nicely and the prison guard let me have it.
S-Grade Marriage Scammer

What are you doint!?
I'm sorry!
I'm no good without that girl!

I don't think we should break any fingers,
but I do agree with what Kumicho's saying!
Ranko's not smart so counting is impossible for me.

p13

But if we were drunk, we'd all be even, right...?

What are you saying in the middle of a prison...!?
That's a great idea.
It'd make things fairing than breaking fingers.

There's no way I'd allow...
...
Bunch of girls Drinking alcohol Yuri chance

p14

They drank

Third turn
Don't tell anyone about the alcohol.
Let's continue with the 8.
So making prisoners play weird games is finge but a little booze isn't...?

p15

Mm.
This booze is stronger and sweeter than I expected.

Thanks, Mister.
Even though you're crucified right now.

Shank you~

You're wasted even though you're the one who suggested it.
I'm pretty buzzed myself.
It's like drunken mahjong. Even if someone slips up,
it doesn't count if nobody notices it.
Drunken mahjong, you say...
Well, I'll be watching you, so whatever.

p16

Yeah, right.

As a Kyushu girl, booze is like water to me.
Everyone's dead wasted and bound to make mistakes.

What number do you use a key with?
3 maybe?
Ah, because it's "sun" in English, right?
Okay. Everyone's lost their ability to think.
I've no idea what they're saying though.
*The answer is 6 (LOCK) [tn: 3 = san, 6 = roku)

Now to outsmart everyone by playing a 15 to claim those 8 points for sure!
Okay, it's time to resume.
Ready~

p17

Ah~ My 15 overlapped with Kumicho's.

You're way too honest!
That's a scary face.

p18

I'm sorry, okay?
Shall I give you a kiss as an apology?
!?

Hell no!
That's no apology!
Huh? Are you drunk too, Kumicho?

The referee is dead.

p19

In the end, Megane got the 8 points.
In the next turn, there was a decent 7 points, but...

Doubles
"The practice seems to be paying off."
Respect

I figured it was worth it.
Moheri got it with a 15.
Kh... That background character's getting full of...
Wait... Hm!?

Is that girl's face peeling off!?

Show me your true face!!
Absolutely not!
Her score remained in the minuses,
while her opponents got a high score...

p20

And the moment that completely decided the turn of this war,

Verbal Attack
"You're not fit for this school."
Wicked

Turn 5
was when Kumiko got a second Wicked card.

Turn 6
One minus after another...
Luck has completely abandoned this girl...!

p21

At this rate... victory is mine!
Turn 7
14 points - 1st place.

Everyone else has used up their 15 cards...
And the valuable 10 card is bound to show up within the next few turns!

Moheri is my friend...
The reason she used her 15 so early is so that I could get the 10...

Even with alcohol, I can still do counting if I concentrate hard enough.
I can at least keep track of some measly discards...!

p22

Moheri's amassing some decent pointage too.
Turn 8
16 points - 2nd place

No matter how many points that swindler earns,
it'll be difficult for her to make a comeback now...
Turn 10
9 points - 3rd place

It's impossible for us to fall into last place...
Turn 12
Minus 15 points - Dead last

Kumiko pulled another minus...!
Pft
Is she collecting them, perhaps?

p23

!

Turn 13

Ruin
"The student coucil? I don't really know, but I fucked them all."
Love x Wicked

There it is... Maximum pointage!

I know Moheri wants to get it...
but getting this will guarantee my victory...!

p24

Nobody else has a 15...

Kumiko... You lose...!

Bodokan ch4

The match's conclusion is at hand!

I'm the only one who can put out a 15 here...
With this, the 10 points are mine...
and so... is this game...!

Ruin
"The student coucil? I don't really know, but I fucked them all."
Love x Wicked

Mismatched combination.

Sorry~
I overlapped with yours, Megane-chan...

Huh?

I-
Impossible!
Ah~ My 15 overlapped with Kumicho's.
You used your 15 earlier...

Sorry.
It seems I was drunk
and got 14 confused with 15.

You mean by gain was a mishap from the start!?
Then we should do over from...
Ah...
It's like drunken mahjong. Even if someone slips up,
it doesn't count if nobody notices it.
Well, I'll be watching you, so whatever.

What is thiiis!?
Sorry. Wanna kiss?
Like hell I do!!

But...
If we have the same numbers, then...

Too bad.
The card is mine.

Hmph...
You've been getting nothing but minuses.

10 points won't do you any good now!

Fu

Kh kh kh
!

Even after all that booze, you did quite well
to focus on "just" counting.

Because of that,
it seems you've somewhat overlooked the "Attribute Combo" rule.

Oh yeah, that was a thing...
Wha-...

If you match three event cards with the same attribute, you get +5 bonus points.
However...
the "Wicked" attribute for minus cards is special...

Romance +5
Wicked +5

If you get three of them, not only do you get a bonus,
you can negate three minus cards.
And if you gather five of them,
you get an extra bonus
and negate all minus cards!

In ohter words...
my minuses are all negated...
and I get two +5 bonuses, a total of 10 points.
Add the 10 points I just snagged to that...

p10

And that's a total of 20 points!

I'll also be gathering the "Romance" cards after this,
so with the +5, I'll likely end up with 18 points.

p11

15 points...
Looks like I'm last.
No way!

That's right!
The chief is passed out...
He missed this whole match...

No...

p12

I was watching while passed out...
Kumiko-san's play adhered to the rules...
Unfortunately for you, you can't overturn this loss.
Then...

Please let just me take this punishment!
Megane!?

Moheri used her 15 early
so that I could win.
It's my fault she's in last place.

p13

I did that on my own...
Silence.

Megane...
Why are you always so selfish...
You're the one being selfish.
You're always putting yourself second...

Understood.
Let's have a leisurely talk
as we take this punishment together.

p14

Well this is unsatisfying.

You adhered to the rules, but your morals were another matter.
We won, so why are we in the punishment chamber again?

p15

Yosop's hand soap smells so nice~

I love the scent of this handcream too~
It suddenly smells like a fancy café.

Woah. I used too much cream.

Sorry. Here's half of it.
Okay?

p16

...Ng.

Moo~
Hm?

...I wanna go to a prison without these weird games.
Going anywhere besides a prison would be best, though.

Bodokan ch5

And here I thought
I'd finally get some peace and quiet here in solitary confinement.

I'm guessing I'm not being summoned for anything good.

It's regrettable you think that way.

Nekome Group leader Gokudou Kumiko.
It's game time.

I'll crush common sense.

By game time,
I'm guessing he means another board game tournament.

Everything that's been used to intimidate us thus far have been board games, after all.

SAVE MEEEE!
Ooh... They're doing some terrifying human experimentation in this block.

Hmm~ Maybe it's a death game after all?
Gyaaaah!

KYAAAAH

This is where today's game will be held.
You'll find it to be different...
to the usual.

Stop!
Don't come any closer!

!
No way...
Are you perhaps...

GYAAAAAAH~

GYAAAAH
Huh? It's you, Kumiko.

S-rank marriage swindler Tabura Ranko.
They said I could laze around until the game starts.

You again?
How lucky I get to see you so much<3
Such drivel.

And what the heck is this sick and twisted video...?
It's a horror flick.
I feel at ease knowing there's lots of people who have it worse than me.

That's a sick hobby~
Normally the only choice would be films about heroic acts, right...?
Is that really normal?

Oh?

p10

For your safety,
I have removed your handcuffs.
Today's game is a bit dangerous, after all...

We'll be instructing you from a different location.
I told you, didn't I? Today's game is different...

There he goes, intimidating us again~
What happened to explaining the board game rules?

Worry not. I've sent in this robot.
Another waste of technology...

p11

Use your money with more care!

Killing intent...!

p13

A blonde girl with red eyes...

Enrolled in France's foreigner squad,
the only one who returned from the strife the Canal district, which was said to have been completely destroyed.

p14

The mercenary with a 99 kill count,
Lapin Blanc...!?
So are you my playmates...?

She she was imprisoned here...?

p15

How interesting...!

To think I'd get to fight such a legendary woman in this kind of place.
How pretty!
So cute!!

Excuse me. I figured I should introduce myself a little.
I didn't think we'd meet in a place like this.

Ahem.

Hey now.
Please settle this with board games, not violence.
Today's game is...

p16

This...

Ciao, Ciao...!

Another commercial product...

Well, it's not like this was gonna be a death game anyway...
How rude.
This is a proper death game.
Eh?

p17

Ciao, Ciao takes place in the jungle.
You play as explorers venturing deep into the Amazon.

While crossing suspension bridges dangling about bottomless swamps,
they move according to the number on the dice you throw.
You can lie about what number you rolled, but...

if that lie is exposed, the explorer is pushed into the swamp.
When that happens, you see them off with a "ciao, ciao" (goodbye).

That's a psychotic way of seeing someone off.

Instruction manual

Can't you just kill off everyone else from the very start?
We're deep in a jungle, after all...
No you can't.

p18

(Rough) How to Play Ciao Ciao...!

Pieces (Explorers)
Bottomless swamp

1: Roll the die and move spaces equal to the number rolled, with the aim of reaching the goal.
2: However, the dice only has numbers for 1-4. The other two sides have X written on them. In order to proceed, you'll need to lie about the number you rolled.
3: The other players decide whether the player who rolled the dice is telling the truth about what they rolled or not.
Only the rolling player can see what they've rolled.

If it's a lie The player who rolled drops one of their piece.
(The player who accused them can move according to the number of spaces they declared).
If it's the truth The player who accused them drops their piece.

This repeats, and the first player to get three of their seven pieces across the goal is the winner. (If nobody is able to get three pieces to the goal, the winner will be decided based on who is closest to the goal.)

p19

...I've prepared a fitting stage for this game.

!?

?
What...!?

p20-21

Wha-
What the hell is this!?

p22

A lava stage...?
It's that thing I've seen in games and manga...
They're screwing with us...

But this heat... There's no doubt it's the real thing.
It's hot... Th-This is scary~...

Don't tell me,
if we lose the game...
...Yeah.

Just like the explorers in the game...
it'll be ciao, ciao for us...

p23

That would be ethically bad.
You're saying that after going this far to make it like a death game...!?

So does that mean there's no aphrodisiac
like what you gave to the losers of the previous games?
The previous losers

The goal of this program is eliminating the criminal hearts of women by making them do yuri yuri things with each other...
The aphrodisiac is still being used.
You should double-check the meaning of "ethical".

p24

We previously played in pairs,
but there's three of us this time... What happens with the penalty game?

Ranko
Kumiko
Blanc

Hmm...
I suppose whoever doesn't get first place gets the penalty game.

Hmph.
And can we expect a reward for the winner?
Of course.

Diptox's room fragrance.
I mean, I'd be happy to have that, but...

p25

As long as we don't die, that's just splendid♪
Let's just enjoy this as a simple game.
It's hot, though.

Like I could enjoy this with such a stupid penalty game!
You and Blanc are gonna be the ones to face it!

So you're aiming for first place, huh, Kumicho?
You bet I am.

Alright, time to roll.

p26

1.

A 1, huh... Well, even if she's lying, it's just a 1...

Okay, I'll let you off!
You lying bitch.
You should doubt me instead of insulting me.

p27

Blanc's letting the 1 pass too, huh?
Here!
Merci.

Let's see...
...2.

p28

It's shabby, but that makes it feel genuine...
Does this bitch not even sweat?
A two isn't that beneficial anyway...
No doubts here.

Normally I'd be able to manipulate die while shaking them,
but that's difficult with such a narrow cup.

Tch... An X, huh...

p29.

It's a 2.
Doubt.

You're a terrible liar, Kumicho.

_ Bodokan ch6-1

Hot, hot, hot!

Called it. It's an X.

Ciao ciao~!
*If a lie is successfully called out, that player loses their piece.
Shut up!

The current situation
Blanc: 2 spaces, 7 explorers remaining
Ranko: 3 spaces, 7 explorers remaining
Kumiko: 0 spaces, 6 explorers remaining

Sorry, I got a 4~!

She's trying to rile me up...!
Guess I should let it slide for now...

...
I got a 4 too.

Like I'm gonna let that one slide!
There's no way there'd be two 4s in a row!!

...Here.

It really was a 4!?

This is cheating!
Bring my dice roller Gen here at once!
Odd or even, I'll roll whatever you desire.
Nekome Group's dice roller - Gen

I don't have the skill for that.
Just roll already.

Grrr! Let the practice I did as a child pay off...! I'm counting on you, Gen!!

Gwoooah~!
...It's a 1.

Come on! Doubt me.

Eyes of pity...

Hey! You okay with that, you cowards!?

Goal! I got a 3!
Doubt.

Ranko-san.
That's not a 3.

Eh? You're seriously doubting me now?
You're gonna fall if you're wrong, y'know??

But you're lying, aren't you, Ranko-san.
I am, but still~!!

Since I called your bluff successfully, I move three spaces
and reach the goal.

6 spaces + 3 spaces thanks to the doubt = goal

My second piece will start crossing from square one.
...It's a 1.

Do-...
Wait...

Even if it turns out to be a lie, I'd only move one measly space...
You'd have to be a fool to pick a fight with no good reward.

I'm gonna doubt.
You thought that I wouldn't?
Fufufu
I see through everything.

1

Gnyaah...

What a fool...

In this day and age, you don't get many heroes who are born because of military strategy.
The age where war is determined by a single person's abilities is long over, after all.
As a mercenary, however, Lapin Blanc was the closest thing to a present day hero.

Of special note is Blanc's "eyes".

Her kinetic vision can track a bullet's movements after it's been fired.

Of course, even she can't dodge a bullet once it's been fired,
but in her five years as a mercenary, she hasn't been shot even once.

Even as blood poured like rain amidst shootouts,
they say she remained as pure white as a rabbit.

...Nobody can escape from her sight.
Reaction speed when lying: 0.01 secs
Reaction speed when lying: 0.0003 secs

Ranko-san's reaction speed when lying is worthy of praise,
but she has a tic of fiddling with her hair when she's worried, so she's not completely impenetrable.
On the other hand, Kumiko-san takes a while to react when lying.

I got my hopes up since we're all S-rank criminals,
but it looks like I shouldn't have...

p10

Hmm... At this point,
Blanc is monopolizing the goal.
If she gets her third goal, the game will be over...
Blanc: 3 goals, 5 explorers remaining

You're definitely a virgin, Kumicho.
If you have a favorite position, you should let me know now.
Ranko: 0 goals, 4 explorers remaining

I'd rather bite my tongue off and die
than flirt with the likes of you.
Kumiko: 0 goals, 3 explorers remaining

p11

It's a 3.

Just to let you know, I'm telling the truth.
You're right in front of the goal, right, Blanc?
Can't you let it slide?

The slim chance is somewhat scary.
...Is there any merit in letting you off?

You can become friends with a cutie like me.

...That's quite the invitation.

p12

...But I'll pass.
The ironclad rule of the battlefield is to strike when you can.
Doubt...

"Her reaction speed when lying is 0.003 secs."
"She fiddles with her hair when she's worried", right?

p13

Sorry.
Bad women are good at lying.

What's more,
I'm good at seeing through lies too.

p14

Right, Kumicho?

She's asleep...!

The yakuza has abandoned the game and fallen asleep, huh...
She's got 0 goals
and only 3 pieces left with no spares...
so my only enemy is this swindler.
Did you throw the game?

p15

She's gotten one goal,
so I need to make haste before she catches up...
Tch.
An X now of all times...
It's a 1.

Doubt.

Why the long faces?

p16

Laugh.
Let's have a brawl.

Kumiko awakens!

Bodokan ch6-2

It's an X,
so that's Ciao Ciao... right!?
That nap cooled off some of that heat.

Ng...!

No... There's no need to get fazed.
I only need to get one piece to the goal to end this game.
There's no way Kumiko-san, who sucks at lying, can overtake me.
The heat from the magma sure messes with your brain, huh?
This game's easy.

From now on, I'm gonna keep rolling 4s.

Huh?
...?

She mentioned something about how the yakuza have dice-rolling techniques earlier, didn't she...?
Do you intend to cheat?

Who knows?
If I try and cheat just like that,
there's no way the pig would overlook it, right?
We have high speed cameras in place...
so, um... that's right...

At any rate,

4.

D-...

Doubt.
Show me.

Here.

...!
Ranko fabricated a lying tell in the first half.
Kumiko gave up on reading tells in favor of rolling all 4s.
In this battle...

Blanc had lost sight of her determined self... and the tables have been completely turned.

4.

I've noticed your tell.
Doubt.

?
!?

4.

You're cheating!!
If you're manipulating the numbers on the dice,
then this game is invalid!

Huh?
If you're accusing me,
then aren't those "eyes" of yours breaking the rules too?

If you wanna complain, how about gouging out your eyes first?
I wouldn't mind losing a finger if you do that.

You're kidding right?
This is just a game the prison is holding.
I...
You're such a kid.
Getting serious over a mere game is what makes gambling all the more fun.
Now then.

It's a 4.
With this, I'll have three at the goal.

Come on.
Doubt me.
I'm gonna win, y'know?

...
Whatever I choose,
the result will be the same either way, right?

p10

You win, Kumiko-san.
It's over!

How surprising.
To think Blanc would lose.
Gahaha!
That felt great!

Yo, chief!
Give those two their punishment already...
Hmm.
But getting whatever role you want
is rather unfair...

p11

What? You believed me too?

You mean...
I was lying, obviously.
I only got an actual 4 like two or three times.

There you go, saying this stuff after the match is over...
Ah.
I looked inside since it would've been my turn after Kumicho,
and she's right.

"A yakuza should be able to make it reality."
Once you get someone to believe that, the rest comes down to guts.
Glad I didn't get found out.

N-No way...
To think you'd get past my eyes.

p12

Amazing! You're amazing!
Super! Gentille SENPAI! You're amazing, Senpai!!

Oh my.
It's rare to see Blanc acting so lively.
Guess she really is still a 16-year old girl.

p13

Yes!
I've never felt like this before!
Please become my mon amie!
She's 16...?

Oh crap... I got cocky at a minor.
I told a minor to gouge out her eyes.
I-I feel so guilty.

I'm so happy to meet a wonderful pair like you two.
You're as adorable as my dog back home.

Pretty cheeky of you to be taller than me even though you're younger!
I love small things too.

sniff...

p14

Sniffle sniff...
Excuse me... It's just teetee... [tn: Cutesy way of saying "toutoi", which means "precious".]
Teetee...?
This robot can cry tears...?

I have no idea what that means, but I can tell it's something creepy.
It sounds like a Japanese toilet.

That was a lovely sight.
Now then, everyone. Please return to isolation after a little yuri-ing.

p15

What?
There's no punishment today!?

Nope.
I got to see something good, so you're exempt this time around.

Doing that just makes that an ordinary board game.
All that magma gone to waste.
This prison really needs to learn how to spend its budget.

No...
I think he really did intend to punish someone.
The reason the chief gave for leaving early was a lie.

A lie?

p16

Yes.
If I had to guess,
"that girl" has escaped.

The most notorious hacker in history,
"Black Dragon".

__
Bodokan! ch7

No way.

Kumicho!

Don't touch her!

Got it?
This is a crime scene now.

Let's preserve the crime scene and begin our reasoning.

After all,
the culprit is one of us.

With a new friend.

One
Two

Three
Four
This is boring...

Ever since the world's greatest hacker, Black Dragon, somehow managed to break out of prison,
the games have stopped completely.

Black Dragon.
Their race, age and gender are all a mystery.

They're the pioneer behind the cross-site? Scripting? Those techniques you're often exposed to when learning security at a major corporation.
Their modus operandi is the same as a so-called Black Dragon that appeared just once on a bulletin board during the summer 200 years ago, so that's what they call them.

Ranko surprisnly knows a lot about it.
They're no hacker.
They're a cracker!
Science guys are picky about that term!

They apparently used some innovative countermeasure for their prison break...

But I'm not all that interested.
I don't get involved with the internet.

I don't know many katakana words, after all...

The guys in my gang have been using weird katakana too.
Milady.
Can we risuke that day?

What a despicable world.
OW OW!!

Do your best~
Hm?

Hup
You did well to beat it!
Eho!

Die Die Die
There's a girl playing R-Ring F*t during prison exercise time.

p10

That girl is the Black Dragon.

You wouldn't think she was a skilled hacker by looking at her.
Huh!?

That shorty...!?

She looks unreliable, but her skill is apparently amazing.
Not that I knowall that much.
I told you, she's a cracker!
Ranko-san, that's hot.

p11

The hacker of the century who can make the impossible possible.
...At the same time, she has a rather intriguing history.
She's that chief's genuine niece.

...
Oh?

p12

That's why she gets treated differently,
and doesn't usually come here during free time...

but it seems she got quite the telling off for that prison break attempt.
Hmm~ This is a valuable chance.
Well then.

Let's "get along" with her<3
Scary.

p13

Man.
They brought her here knowing what would happen.
It's all the jailer side's fault.
She's like a piglet before a pack of wolves.

I'm not gonna do it myself,
but the other prisonders would eat her alive in a moment.

Kumicho. Over there.

p14

S-Sniper...

The chief's doting on her.
Getting violent would be a bad idea.
Hrmm~

Hah~
And here I thought it'd be a good way to pass the time in place of those board games.

Board games!?

p15

I have something akin to a board game.
Even in this prison, I'm pretty accomodating unlike you lot.
If you really insist,
I'll play a board game with you.

p16

She's definitely that pig's relative alright...

Board games are fine

They're so gullible when it comes to board games...

Alright.
Let's play a game.

p17

Geez, if I must~!
We've all got ulterior motives, but she looks so happy.

In that case, I'll bring out something special.
That's a lot of private belongings...

It's a new product I couldn't get while imprisoned.

p18

Tada~ This here
is what Uncle bought at Gemuma.
*The biggest analogue game event in the country.

Gemuma...?
Okay, let me explain.
You, the black-haired lady. Play the corpse.

p19

Don't you mean
"play the corpse PLEASE", you little brat~?
That's what upset you!?
Strict when it comes to seniority

Pyeh...

B-But...

p20

Pigumi is 25 years old.
What about you...?

Age 17
Age 22
Age ?
Age 25

...
I-I'll do it, okay.
Strict when it comes to seniority

Bodokan ch8: Begin the Investigation!

Exercise the body and mind♪

So,
what kinda game is this?

Hey.

I dunno.
HEY.

It's not like I don't have any friends to play it with or anything like that, okay!?
It's just
you guys said you wanted to play it so suddenly...
You're the one who said that...

When it comes to board games for adults,
the trickiest part is gathering people to play.
It's unavoidable in stacking games too...
She's really emotional about this...

Fine, I'll read the rules.
The pig would have it all set up if he were here.
The box hasn't been opened either.

What's this red felt?

My~ Looks like it's a game
where you guess who the culprit is from their names.

Wah~! There's so many suspect cards! This is exciting!

I guess victory is all about obtaining these chips?

And this is...?

Gone to Heaven!

No idea...

The designs are nice~
Unboxing is fun...
Ah! Here's the rulebook!

Dying Message [Cooperative Investigation] - (Rough) How to Play
Someone has been murdered. The detectives must read their dying message carefully and find the culprit!

(1) Preparation
The victim, who is decided with rock paper scissors, draws and lays out the "today's suspects" and "message card" cards, then use alphabet chips and a dice to determine the "culprit" for this game.
(2) The Incident Begins
The victim uses fifteen cards and themself to form a dying message pointing towards the culprit within a set time limit. Once the message is done, the victim then screams and collapses, leading the detectives to find their body.
(3) The Deduction Begins
The detectives must rely on the crime scene and discuss who the culprit is. When they have decided on a culprit, they must point to the suspect on the count of three. The victim them flips the card, revealing "Go to Heaven" if correct and "Regret" if it's wrong, before explaining the meaning behind the culprit and message. Once done, the next player clockwise becomes the next victim and the process repeats itself.
(4) Epilogue
The game ends once everyone has played the victim once. Everyone awards chips to whoever they thought had the best dying message.
Dying Message can also be played with "competitive deduction" and "sudden death" rules!

So you decicde the culprit with a dice
and then try to make a dying message that gets across who it is.
If they get it right, you go to heaven, otherwise you end up with regret... Hmm.
Basically, it's about making messages, I guess.

Within a set time limit, huh...
But we don't have any timers in the prison...
...Guess we'll have to wing it...

I'll shoot into the air once two minutes have passed.
S-Sniper...

Ah.
Sure.
...Thanks.
Think carefully now.

This prison really is gullible when it comes to board games...

Whatever. The culprit who will kill me will be...

this guy, I guess...
I'll need to read the other profiles
so I don't accidentally hint towards them.

Ahaha! No way~
Detectives having a chat so they don't look at the crime scene.
Kh.
It's so distracting that the intel isn't seeping in.

And these message cards are more abstract than I expected...
The culprit's traits are pretty "y'know", so there's no cards directly pointing to them... In which case...

*Blank
Urk
They... got... me.
Flop. (Said with her mouth)
I see. The red felt is to make it look like blood.

p10

Ooh, she's finished getting ready?
This is gonna be fun~
Hey! Read the room!

Gorumi went to trouble of getting use hyped up with that shot, didn't she!?
Try to fit the mood better!
If I must.

No way...
Kumicho!

That's a scam artist for you.

p11

Let's preserve the crime scene and begin our reasoning.
I'm just glad she's satisfied.

After all,
the culprit is here in this room.

Suspect Cards

I wonder if the crime scene has any hints...

How long is this gonna take?

p12

So.

Ooguro Azusa - Bank clerk - Skilled with his hands and an expert with handicrafts. Often mistaken for a woman because of his name and has a voice that's wasted on his macho physique. Is old friends with Matsubara Satomi and is in charge of finance.
Yoshida Shouko - Idol - The eldest member of the idol group "CT". She's not just skilled with her singing but with her actions too. It'd be a lie to say she's struggling for cash. Her relationship with Chiba Noboru was exposed in a weekly magazine.
Momose Rintarou - Squid fisherman - Succeeded the family business but hates being on the sea, so he never goes without his anti-travel sickness medicine. Eats a lot of squid, so he considers whales to be her enemies. Used to work with Akina Iori.
Endou Maki - Policeman - Mainly investigates the illegal activities of politicians and companies. Will go to any length to obtain the perfect evidence. Once proved Yutani Ayaka innocent after she became a suspect.
Maki Ryouta - Model - Chose to be a model since he's bad at singing and dancing. In order to wear out-of-season clothes, he constantly carries around ice packs and hand warmers to regulate his temperature. Is troubled by Takashima Tomomi's approaches.
Takenoshita Subaru - Bartender - Employee at the "Milk" bar. Used to work at a café, but it was closed down after a rival store interfered with their business. Once received financial aid from Watanuki Miho.

So these six are the suspects for Kumicho's murder, huh...
And the dying message is...

p13

A "ta" or a "su"?

This is a tree, right? [tn: tree = ki]

Lips...?

It's "kiss"! It's gotta be!
You could also read it as "love" [suki], but there's lips there, so it's gotta be "kiss".

p14

Among these people, there's one Kumicho wants to kiss,
and that's our culprit!

Wha-
Hey... Wait...

The dead don't talk.
Let's go over there, shall we?

p15

Well then,

let's search for the culprit who made Kumicho's heart stop!

Bodokan ch9: Shoot That Heart Dead

As beautiful as a flower, as sharp as a blade.

Well then, let's search for the culprit that stopped Kumicho's heart!

The dying message Kumicho chose
Kumiko was tied up because the dead don't talk

Mmrm
Fgh

That being said,
I don't know much about Kumicho.
It's my first time meeting her, after all.

Don't worry!
This woman matches her appearance to a tee!
She's so simple.
I'll get her for this.

Matches her appearance, huh...
I see.

I'll go with this guy then!

Momose Rintarou the squid fisherman!

Momose Rintarou - Squid fisherman - Succeeded the family business but hates being on the sea, so he never goes without his anti-travel sickness medicine. Eats a lot of squid, so he considers whales to be her enemies. Used to work with Akina Iori.

Succeeded the family business but hates being on the sea, so he never goes without his anti-travel sickness medicine. Eats a lot of squid, so he considers whales to be her enemies.

Momose-kun is the only choice.
Love blooms best between those with similar beauty.

True, they certainly wouldn't look out of place together.
A tattoo couple.
Uuh~

We're deciding by tattoos?
I've got a bunny one on my stomach.
Wah~
Hey, Lapin!

That's shameful for a girl!
There are male jailers around, y'know!
It's cute, though!!

But I think the culprit is someone else too.
If the tattoo was a focal point, she would've used the "mi" card to write "sumi" (ink).
More importantly, he doesn't seem like the type to have a romance with a yakuza.
That girl would never be bound with someone Romeo and Juliet style...

I've got it! Endou Maki the policeman!
His slit eyes make him quite the hottie (suspect-wise)!

Endou Maki - Policeman - Mainly investigates the illegal activities of politicians and companies. Will go to any length to obtain the perfect evidence. Once proved Yutani Ayaka innocent after she became a suspect.

Mainly investigates the illegal activities of politicians and companies. Will go to any length to obtain the perfect evidence.

That's certainly possible...
Also, a bit late, but should we really be deciding this using "kiss" as a hint?

For example, maybe it's hinting at the group Yoshida-chan's affiiliated with...

Yoshida Shouko - Idol - The eldest member of the idol group "CT". She's not just skilled with her singing but with her actions too. It'd be a lie to say she's struggling for cash. Her relationship with Chiba Noboru was exposed in a weekly magazine.

The eldest member of the idol group "CT". She's not just skilled with her singing but with her actions too.
CT -> (mouth) perhaps?
Not very likely...

*Self-censored
It could also be hinting that she was SUddenly stabbed in her MOUTH with a TREE.
Gory!

I've never done it myself,
but it could be a strategy to make her opponent lose the will to fight...
Erm.
That famous Vlad Co.
does it too, after all.
A mercenary's excuses are kinda scary...

You guys have a point.
It might be good to use this opportunity to rethink the message.
There may be another way to read the cards.

Sukanu
Tree...
Lips...

It turned into a really dirty joke...
It's probably not in Kumicho's character, so I won't say anything...

The hints also include the pose she was in when we found her body, right?
In that case, there might be a meaning behind the lips.

Maybe it's the word for tree in another language? Like "baum" or "bois"?
Kumicho's likes to keep things purely Japanese, so it's probably safe to rule that out.
Kiss could be referring to the famous band of the same name.
Hmm~

Damn those guys...
saying what they want...

But the things that come naturally to me
surprisingly don't get through to others, huh.

She's certainly being free with her free time.
!

p10

When she's like this,
she's not a bad girl, but...

when she's in front of a PC,
she turns into a completely different person.

She doesn't distinguish between good or evil.
She's grew up without a care in the world,
and infiltrated the US Ministry of Defense's confidential information.
I'd have covered for her had she not been traced, but...
She infiltrated and amazing place just like that.

The other day, that girl broke out of prison because she wanted to go to Gamema.
Of course I'd be upset!! She might have caused trouble for GameMa!
That upset him more than the Ministry of Defense...?
These relatives love board games way too much...

p11

Giving how peculiar you all are,
you might be able to do something about her.

She steals all the money in my account if she's displeased,
but she's a good girl.
L-
Like hell she's a good girl!
Is that why she doesn't have any friends?

We've decided!

Kumicho! We've decided on the culprit!
One, two!

p12

Ooguro Azusa - Bank clerk - Skilled with his hands and an expert with handicrafts. Often mistaken for a woman because of his name and has a voice that's wasted on his macho physique. Is old friends with Matsubara Satomi and is in charge of finance.

Ooguro Azusa the banker!
Skilled with his hands and an expert with handicrafts. Often mistaken for a woman because of his name and has a voice that's wasted on his macho physique.

The hint Kumicho left behind
really did mean "kiss"!
Which means it's this guy!

p13

He's macho!

He's a banker, so he's financially sound
and the watch in his picture could be a R*lex, right!?

You like fighting, right, Kumicho?
So I figured you might choose a guy based on his muscles.
Man, so this is the kind of guy you like, huh~

p14

When was this ever about my taste in men!?

Regret

Regret! You got it wrong!

Eeh~!?

p15

The one who killed me

was this guy.

Takenoshita Subaru - Bartender - Employee at the "Milk" bar. Used to work at a café, but it was closed down after a rival store interfered with their business. Once received financial aid from Watanuki Miho.

Takenoshita Subaru the bartender.
Employee at the "Milk" bar. Used to work at a café, but it was closed down after a rival store interfered with their business.

p16

Bartenders are one of the three Bs when it comes to guys you shouldn't date!
Give it up!
Who said I was dating anyone!?
He's the culprit!
Don't just play a different game on your own!

Eh~ That's boring~
Well, the kiss part was right...

In fact, how the hell did you not get it?
I mean,
"kiss" would point to alcohol, right?
Blow a kiss = order a drink
The heck!?

p17

Like we'd know that!
Is that some yakuza slang!?
Eh?
No, it's commonplace, right!?
*It is not commonplace.

sniff...

Female prisoners having fun together... How beautiful...
I don't like how they're talking about boys, though...

p18

That being said, this was Pigumi's own personal game,
so it's a shame I won't get to see a punishment...
Naturally, games have social significance, so I am by know means feeling regret over my own selfish desires or anything.

Pigumi...
is having so much fun...

I haven't involved her in my games up until now...
(Mixed feelings about yuri involving a blood relative)

p19

but there's a chance her net brutality...
can be mitigated by doing things with friends.
It's decided!

Starting with the next game, Pigumi will also be taking part.
Don't miss it!

The weird old guy is weirdly determined...

Bodokan ch10

Let's begin tonight's game.
A game with your lives on the line...

You say that, but it's probably just another board game, right?
And what's with the blindfold.
W-Woah...

Heh?

Are you okay, Kumicho...!?

That voice! Is that you, Lapin!?
What the hell is this?

...Thank goodness I made it in time.
You shouldn't wander around while blindfolded...

It'll be quicker to see it with your own eyes.
Take a look, Kumicho.
!

Things are clearly different than usual.

A-A sheer cliff.

Everyone here,
will be competing over these gold bars.

I-It's a prize right out of a death game.

The two players with the fewest bars
will be pushed off.

Hmph.
Quite the hobby you've got there.
....

There's no saving you if you drop from this height.

So we've spread out a load of cushions at the bottom.

Big hole
Fluffy

A load of cushions.

If you're by yourself, you'll keep bouncing off the cushions
and become debilitated, so do be careful
Gya~!!

However,
I predict that the bouncing will lesson if you hug someone.
Moheri<3
You dropped those two in there just for a demonstration?

Even if you fall, you'll survive as long as you're intimate.

Fufun

So it's business as usual, huh.

The gold bars are made of styrofoam.
They broke.
They're just there for production values...

The real prize is this.
It dries your hair faster and makes it silky smooth.

I'd be happy to have that.
As someone with long hair,
this is the thing I've wanted the most so far...

p10

So?
What is it this time?
Eh?
Ah, the members?
This time, it'll be you two and...

Not that! The game!
I bet it's another commercial game, isn't it!?

Hrm.
Uh.

p11

...It's this.

Called it. It's a retail product.
Why are you acting so awkward?

Give it here.
Ah!

p12

Hey...!
What the?
It looks kinda interesting.
Nothing to get all awkward over.

But it's a bit worn out?

Please don't get it dirty!
You can't buy that in Japan anymore!

You can't buy it...?
It's been discontinued.
But this GOLD here...

p13

is the game...
that made me fall in love with board games.

It's an old game,
so it may appear unrefined on the surface,
but this dice game in which you shoot it out for gold...
is a gem that reminds me of pure and simple joy.

Shoot it out, huh...
That's that Chimaki Niku Dance, right?♬
Lapin, I think you mean "chiwaki niku odoru" (blood and guts leaping out).

Two girls filled with youthful vigor.

p14

GOLD sure is fun~
I went through a lot to get perms.
I had to rely on intermediaries overseas.
For someone who ignores the human rights of prisoners and forces weird games on them...
He's honest when it comes to adhering to board game rights...
Right?
Yeah.

And my straight forwardness will raise the attention from the rightsholders!
They might even put it back on the market again!
To all dilettantes watching this game on the dark video site!
Please post "I wanna play this" all over social media!!

Wait, wait, wait!
Dark video site!? This is being streamed!?
If my gang catches sight of this...

p15

D-
Don't worry.
They'll only see it as girls having fun together!

My honor will be crushed!!
After all the prestige I got from being thrown into the world's harshest prison, like hell I'm gonna be seen as surprisingly gullible!
Japan's yakuza sure are delicate, huh?

Let's go back to the pioneering age, in the United States of America...
People flocking to the West with dreams of obtaining riches beyond their...
No!
Don't just slip into explaining the game!

p16

Goldpanning pioneers filled with hope

and robbers seeking wealth...
When these guys come to attack,
the pioneers must fight to obtain victory.

Explain the video stream first!!
What about my likeness rights!?
Kumiocho, we've been imprisoned, so the dice has already been cast...

p17

Ah.
Oh right, speaking of dice,

Kumicho-san, I hear that you can change the eyes of a dice freely.
Gulp!
*See the side story

Please wear handcuffs during this match.
It's to maintain the security of the game feel, so please understand.

The hell!? This is cheating!!
Calling foul play after being exposed for foul play is like the pot calling the kettle black...

p18

By the way, these girls are our other players.
Yay
Fwah~
I had a feeling as much!

I don't actually have the skill to cheat...
This game is gonna be actual real luck.

Well! I'm the best, so I have no intention of losing even when it comes to pure luck!
None at all! Gahaha!

p19

I'm sorry, Moheri...
fufu... This is quite the side-benefit.

Then hold me tighter...<3
No problem

Th-This is gonna be broadcast to the world...
I can't lose. My dignity as a yakuza is on the line...

Bodokan ch11

The recollection of a certain old man...

I guess money and power is a waste in the end...
That's how I feel when I see Richard.
When your soul is dead, even the finest alcohol tastes no different from muddy water.

That drunkard lost all motivation after so many operations.
It's like our youthful days of recklessly aiming for the gold rush was all a lie.
I came to visit him, but it's probably just gonna be tea again.

!?
Richard!?
What about your condition?
Tom, huh?

This yuri video that was uploaded to the dark video site Butabuta.com is great.
Seeing girls getting along with each other just makes my heart skip.
It feels like it might cure my illness.

I think I'll crack open some wine.
Come watch with me. It's got one of those glasses girls you like so much.

Fu
...That damn yuri pig.

Did you say something?
No.
I'll watch, so no cheap alcohol for me.
Haha. Who do you think you're talking to?
I'm opening a '99 Romanee Conti.

Tom-sama.
The doctor said to stop drinking alcohol.
Hmph!
What good's a long life if you can't drink alcohol?
Hahaha.

There's a charming yakuza girl too.
She's been pretty strong so far,

but with her cheating sealed off, she's probably gonna lose.

Eh~? It's just Kumicho in cuffs this time? Hilarious~
Eh~ She's like a prisoner~
*She is a prisoner.

Don't laugh!
I can win this easy even with cuffs!

Sounds like noob talk to me~
That attitude's gonna put you at a disadvantage~ (lol)

Pyaaah!
No fighting outside the ring, please!
I shall now explain the rules.

GOLD Rough How to Play

Game objective -> To bring home as much gold as possible before the train arrives

Roll the dice to move and flip over chips, collect gold nuggets and bring them back to your house. Players fight against robber and try to steal from other players, and whoever has the most points when the train arrives in town wins.

Chips: Flip to reveal either gold nuggets or robbers.
Train: Moves one space every time a 1 is rolled.
When moving pieces, players cannot just go back and forth between two spaces.
Town: Where each player's houses are. The game ends when the train arrives here.
Players can move instantly between spaces marked with a raft. If a player lands on a raft space, they can move from whichever raft space on the same laker they choose at the start of their next turn.

Game Progress
Players roll a dice. If they roll 2-6, the player moves that many spaces in any direction they want.
If a 1 is rolled, the player doesn't move and the train moves one space instead.
If the player lands on a chip, flip it over.
If they land on a space occupied by another player, a showdown occurs.
*This continues until the train arrives, with players competing over the points that they bring home.

->If a gold nugget chip is flipped
Players earn 1-5 gold nuggets depending on how many are depicted. Each nugget is worth one point, but these are only counted "when they bring them home". There is a chance they can be taken by robbers and other players before then.

->If a robber is flipped
The player must face off against the robber. Roll the dice, and if you land higher than the number on their hat, you win. Just like with nugget chips, you can bring them home to earn points equal to the number on their hat. (In the normal rules, they're all worth 2 points, but this time, we're using the chief's special rules, so "number on head = points".)
It only makes sense that the stronger ones have more value.
If the player loses, their nugget chips are taken and places under the robber chip. The next player to land on that space has a chance to challenge the robber again and win the stolen chips. The number on the robber's hat is reduced each time a player loses.

->Showdown between players
If a player lands on a space already occupied by another player, a showdown takes place. Whoever rolls the highest number wins, with players rerolling if they get the same number. The winner takes all of the loser's chips. If the one who initiated the duel wins, they can then roll the dice to move that many spaces away. If the one who was challenged wins, they can roll the dice to chase the loser away.
*The town is a safe area where showdowns can't take place.

This
might be just like Pigumi-chan said<3

Tabura Ranko...

It seems that girl has noticed...

Hmph.
At any rate, I just gotta work away from home, right?

You can't win big in the nearby areas.
You need to use the rafts and travel far.
I got just two nuggets.
Seems peaceful at the start.

Like she said, the opening turns were mostly spent moving to places where gold nuggets slept.

And then...

Kumiko
Ranko
Pigumi
Lapin

p10

it was Kumiko's turn to flip some chips over.
Gahaha.
This area's filled with chips and getting anything but a train will be easy.
*You can't move on your turn if you get the train.

Time to get some nuggets.

!?

The heck is this!?
Kyahaha! You sure are unlucky, Kumicho~
There are robber chips hidden among the gold nugget chips...

p11

When standing off against a robber, a showdown is unavoidable.

If you can roll higher than the number on their hat, you win,...

So I gotta roll a 5 or 6 to win...

p12

Nice!

Kumiko crushed the robber.

p13

Oooh~

Hmph!
Games of luck are no problem either.
Guess I turned the tables on you.

It was fortunate that I didn't have any nuggets to lose anyway,
so I could face him without much worry.

So, what do I do with this robber
Tie him to a rock and drop him into the lake?
You're not supposed to drown him.
Just like with the nuggets, if you can bring him home,
you'll get points equal to the number on his hat.

p14

Humans earn points in the same way as gold nuggets? Isn't this pretty much human traffi-
It's a reward~! I'm sure it's a reward for turning in a bounty~

Well,
if it means more money, I'm fine with it.
4 points at this stage is pretty high.
Maybe I should head back home to save the points...?

Nah... maybe not.
There's still plenty of time until the game ends,
so I can't just go home with a puny reward.

p15

Oh!
I got three nuggets this time! Gahaha!
Kumiko made the right choice not to go home.

In the next three turns, she kept grabbing nuggets and found herself in a tentative first place.

That being said, she's only grabbed them.
The real game begins after you grab them...
Regardless, it's fun seeing everyone's different playstyles.

p16

Some are fine with battle and keep on excavating.

Some use the rafts to travel long distances and excavate while keeping an eye out.

Some steadily excavate close to home just to be safe.

And some excavate leisurely in far off places with nobody else around...

p17

And so, as the game reaches its middle point,
Ranko makes a decision.

Kumiko
Pigumi
Ranko
Lapin

Okay! A 3.
I'm heading back!
Time to bring 11 points worth of nuggets back home!

11 points~?

p18

Gahaha!
You're turning tail with only half of what I have!?
You're as effeminate as you look, Ranko!

Kumiko: 22 points

If you're that scared,
why don't you stay home until the train arrives?

Geez~
Nobody uses "effeminate" in this day and age.
There's a lot of people who have a complex about that, y'know!
You really don't pay attention to your surroundings, do you, Kumicho~

p19

You seem to forget that players can have showdowns with each other.
It's after you obtain points that the game truly begins, y'know.
I think it's better to return home.

I'm gonna head back too!
I'm going to take the raft back home too.

I'm sure you thought it earlier too, right, Kumicho?
That you could face that robber without worry because you didn't have any nuggets.

p20

If you have 22 points, Kumicho,
you're almost certain to win<3

I'll be waiting.
Th-This bitch...! She's planning to wait neat my house so she can mug me...!
She's so despicable...! This girl definitely doesn't have any friends...!
*Not exactly one to talk.

p21

Showdowns haven't been a big problem so far. I just need to win, after all.
The real problem is that this women doesn't have a nugget on her!

Even if I win, I don't stand to gain anything!
There's no point in picking a fight with this penniless women.

The other two will be back home soon too
and just like Ranko, they'll be able to deal with robbers no problem.

A three, huh... I should hurry home too.
If I hurry, I'll only have Ranko to deal with.

p22

!

Yeah right!
Acting so pessimistic isn't my style!
I'm gonna keep venturing without looking back...!

_ Bodokan Extra

Lady Kumiko.

Didn't the boss tell you
not to come here?
What a troublesome girl you are.

Gramps was really angry!
Then...
But I ignored him.
Your stories are way more fun, Gen!

Gen!
Could you... You gotta
teach me how to roll dice again

You really are a troublesome girl.

First, I'll show you an example.
Okay.

First, I place the dice,
rotating them horizontally so it looks like I threw them...

The trick is to make a show out of rotating it.
That being said, people who know the truth will see through it, so...
"Do it while their attention is diverted", right!?

Exactly, miss...
But why are you talking like that?
I was imitating Gramps to show off how dignified I am!

...
We would rather you grow up to be a respectable lady, though.
Who cares about that?

Hey, come on, Gen.

If I must...
Yay!

Do you remember the "twist dice"?
Yeah!
But I can't do it!

Knowing you,
you'll be able to do it someday.

Our line of work doesn't involve rolling from a cup these days,
but your grandfather had great muscles.
He could bend the dice to his will.
Fufufu.
That's Gramps for you.

When I grow up,
I'm gonna be just as great!

Gokudou Kumiko, 21 years old, S-grade criminal.
In the end, I was unbelievably bad and wasn't any good at dice rolling, but...

Gen...
Watch me.

I'll make sure this works.

Wait!
What's with this dice!?

They told you before the game started, didn't they?
It's a 100-sided dice.

I was too busy flashbacking to listen.
What kind of excuse is that?

Sorry, Gen. A 100-sided dice is impossible.
Don't worry about it...

p19

TRPGs use a 100-sided dice.
That's just common sense.
Come on. Roll already.

Currently demo playing a game

Hmph.
There's no way a dice that uses such a stupid dice
would be even remotely fun.

Despite saying that, she got really into it.
Shit! My sanity!
And there's the descent into insecure madness.

Bodokan Extra 2

Said to be the world's most inescapable prison, "Boudou Prison Island".
Known as Bodokan for short.
This is where the most heinous criminals in the world are imprisoned.

In this terrifying place where not a drop of information reached the outside world,
the screams of women never cease...
Kya~!
No~!
Help me!

There's more basque cheesecake at Table B~
This is so good, I can't take it~...!
It's so delicious that I'm gonna get fat...
Help me~
Please enjoy this sweets party to the fullest~

Eh? We're all allowed to eat sweets today!?
With seconds too.

Hey!
You're not gonna fool me, moron!
It's that thing where we'll bite into some poison gas or something!
That thing!

That thing

Yum
Yum
Yum
No need to hold back...

In this harsh prison life, you at least want something sweet, right?
This is genuine good will from me to you.
Like hell it is~

I'm not lying.
I haven't done anything to cause you harm, have I?

He has a point...
He has been trying to get girls with each other, though.

If you say so, I guess one bit couldn't...
Kumicho!

Don't eat that!

The cake that guy made is dangerous.

Don't eat...
Ranko!
Is it poisonous after all...!?

He used so much butter, I'll get... fat...
What are you talking about!?

Just one bite was so crazy that I had to run around the field to burn off the calories.
So that's why you're all worn out...

Actually, you're way too thin to begin with.
A little plumpness isn't gonna...
Don't be naive.
Eh?

I get fat really easily.
To the point of crying!?

The only good things about this prison are the mandatory exercise
and the fact they let you restrict how much you eat, isn't it!?
And now the put on an event like this!? It's too cruel!
Do you think a prison is a Ra**zapp or something?

Oh my~
!

You should eat while you're still young.
Flab is a symbol of happiness.

A rather chubby person is here.

I'm Fukura Muchiko, a prisoner here.
...I used to be as agile as an acrobat
and could break out of any prison, earning the title of "Underweight Jailbreaker".
So the snacks are a trap.

It's not a trap at all.
I've been eating this for a long time and it's had no effect on my health.
H,,. This chubby woman.

Well, whatever.
If the plan's to fatten us up so we can't escape,
it should be fine if I eat in moderation.
...I don't want any.

Tabuchi Ranko, the S-rank marriage swindler.
They say you got your fangs into the prince of England.
Word of you has reached me even in this prison.
More than anything, that appearance of yours...

Say another word
and I'll split your head in two.

p10

That's odd... What does "that appearance" mean...?

It's nothing!
Don't you dare look into it.

Cool your jets.
I have no interest in your secrets.

p11

Yeah right! I'm gonna find your secret,
and ridicule you to your very core! Gahaha!

I'm not taking part in this.
I'm going back to solitary!

Sure~!

p12

Well, now that the nuisance is out of the way,
how about you tell me her secret?

You sure eat a lot, huh?

I'm the type that doesn't get fat no matter how much I eat.

p13

...I see.

I get the feeling you're the last person that girl wanted to know about this.
?

But that's exactly why I'll tell you<3
You're quite the character.
I don't hate it.

So, is this a photo of her getting fat or something?
I should get some good laughs out of~...

p14

...this.

gulp

p15

Cute! Adorable!
She looks just like my old cat Randa!!

She looks even cuter than she does now...

Oh my. Have you perhaps been entranced too?
Wha-

As if I would by something like this!
Gahaha!

p16

Another day.
Eat up.
Stop that!
She started pushing food onto her.

Bodokan Vol2 Announcement

The board game that's out-of-print and hard to get ahold of in Japan,
"GOLD",
can be yours if you pre-order
the Bodokan! volume 2 special edition.
*Special edition = Yellow Submarine exclusive edition with free bonus included

Eeh?

Isn't GOLD that thing we played...
about scrambling for golden nuggets?
It was fun, but
why ship it with Bodokan...?

Hah
It must be a last-ditch effort to extort money out of fans looking for rare game perks before we end up getting axed! That's sneaky~
Shh.
Don't expose an adult's worldly wisdom!

That's incorrect.
We would never resort to extortion.

After all,
the version with GOLD and the version without
both cost the same.

The game is free!!

Wait, wait. That doesn't make sense. How does that work?

That's because...
we were approached by someone willing to cover the costs of the reproduction.
Nice to meet you. I'm funding the production costs of the game.
Who!? Why!?

...
It's scary when you don't say anything...

Ahem
I spoke with the German publisher in English and the opportunity came up.
Scary, scary, scary!!
Why are you going that far!?

But still, a free bonus?
Won't you end up cutting corners?
Like making it out of cardboard or paper or something.
Not at all.
We plan to use acrylic for the pieces, so it should be a fairly faithful reproduction.
Why go that far? Scary...

There's lots of exclusive Bodokan! illustrations too.
Th-The author~!

Are you okay!?
Are they forcing you, going "a manga artist can draw this much in a snap lol"...?
U-...Uuh...

Let's draw original art for the pieces and mini characters.
And let's add as many drawings as possible on the back of the packaging! New drawings!
Ahaha.
More. More...

Why the hell are they letting these people go so far...?
A. Because it's funny.

The special edition complete with the super fun board game GOLD is available from pre-order from January 17 - February 3!
