Billy Bat

MangaStream will continue scanlating from after chapter 45.
Whatever, we will also be scanlating volume 6 when the raws are available with the same translation as MangaStream.

The first 2 volumes were done by Arienai! and the third by Evil Genius.

Billy Bat is a comic-in-a-comic and the real protagonist is a Japanese-American artist named Kevin Yamagata who draws Billy Bat for "Marble Comics".

Shortly after they transition to the artist in his studio with his assistant, two actual detectives, who look like Laurel and Hardy in Dick Tracy era suits and trench coats, knock on the door and appropriate Kevin's room for the purpose of conducting surveillance on a room in an adjacent building. One of the detectives, the skinny “Laurel”, sees Kevin's work and it turns out he's a Billy Bat fan. The other chubby "Hardy" detective picks up a page and says that the characters look familiar and accuses Kevin of translating an old "Jap" comic.

As Hardy remembers the comic he thinks Kevin is ripping off, we make another Urasawaesque time jump to 1949 Tokyo...


The description doesn't really reflect about what's really happening in this story, so you're either dumb and ignorant to understand what's going on here or you have enough historic knowledge and intellect and enjoy a good David Lynch/ J.J. Abrams plot to like this...
