logica & fallenstar masterpost
LOGICA & FALLENSTAR (Rojika to Rakkasei, ロジカとラッカセイ) is a three-volume-long manga by Kinome (twitter/tumblr), serialized in biweekly updates on the manga website Kurage Bunch. It was originally a 4-chapter-long short story, but has since been picked up for full serialization, and ran from April 2018 to July 2019.
The series is a largely episodic slice-of-life science fiction/fantasy story set on a soft post-apocalyptic Earth that has begun to develop a new civilization of critters after having been brought to the brink of destruction in a war between humans. The main characters are Logica, a happy-go-lucky villager, and his adopted child Fallenstar ("Fallen" for short), the only known surviving human. The story is usually lighthearted but regularly takes turns into subtle horror and black comedy, as Logica and Fallen's lack of knowledge of the world around them is a common thread. Any relevant content warnings for a chapter will be listed at the top of their posts.
You might like this story if you enjoy Undertale, Adventure Time, or the Mother series.
Kinome has talked a lot on their twitter about their love for drawing androgynous characters whose genders are not explicitly stated, so I'll be using they/them pronouns for all cast members unless the manga has given some indication of their canon gender. If I get reasonable confirmation on someone's gender I'll go back and edit previous chapters to fix their pronouns. [ETA 9/4/23] I actually got a list of everybody's canon pronouns from Kinome so I'll be updating these translations accordingly!
These translations are meant to be aids for fans who want to support the manga but aren't fluent in Japanese. I do not want these translations being used to make scanlations--any scanlations that are using these scripts are doing so without my permission and should heck off.
(but if you're a representative of an english-language manga publisher that is looking to localize the series: feel free to hire me lol i'd be very happy to help it reach a broader audience, especially if i'm getting compensated) GUESS WHAT Kinome Literally Hired Me to help with the official English version. These translations will stay up for posterity and so that folks can compare them to Kinome's official version. You can get that on kindle here: Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3!!
