#whyyyy is an official translation still unavailable uh

Okay, so I’m still reading Another Monster and something is nagging at me.

It should be noted that I have no way of knowing whether or not the man told me the truth. But I can say this much: the experiment that created Johan still has its adherents. Anyone chasing after Sebe/Poppe/Paroubek will suffer the same fate as Weber.

Perhaps the invisible client used the name of Werner Weber to lure me in and give me a warning: Back off now.

The author of these words is Takashi Nagasaki; he’s Another Monster’s editor and co-author, but in the story he’s a translator of Another Monster.

Nagasaki says that everyone who’s chasing Klaus Poppe will disappear, just like Werner Weber did.

So how can we explain the fact that a few Monster characters chased after Poppe, found him, and didn’t disappear?

Was it Poppe really the reason behind the disappearance of Weber when he tried to find him? Or was it someone else's doing, someone much much higher in the hierarchy than some dude standing in the background while the others have fun and are about to die moments later?

Also, in sympathy and anticipation of Mr. Weber's safe return, the co-author of this book, Mr. Naoki Urasawa, has provided his materials regarding the Johan case. Mr. Urasawa also says that in order to investigate the facts of this case, he is considering going to Bohemia.

It’s very interesting that Urasawa is named as the co-author of this book even though the only thing Weber mentions about Urasawa is the fact that he translated The Nameless Monster from Czech to Japanese.
