Description: | Living in the boonies, one must give great consideration to how they will get around when they turn 16. Isaki has just turned 16 and his choice of transportation is his neighbor's Piper Cub. It might be old, but it flies well. One day he decides to fly over the 2,000m-high Ogusu mountain range to see the tower his neighbor is always talking about. But for some reason his plane feels too heavy and is using fuel faster than planned. Will he make it to the airport or crash in the bushes? And just what was making the plane feel so heavy? Originally a one-shot, but became a regular feature in Afternoon due to its popularity. |

30 km? Dude, Olympus Mons is 27 km high! There's something very wrong here!
Thanks a lot for the chapter!
Thanks Roselia. A chapter of this makes Friday even better! And yes, the 30,000 meter altitude Mt. Fuji is just a bit bigger than the 12,389 ft mountain I climbed when I was in the Marine Corps.
Good question!
In the above map, the Izu peninsula is in the west, Mt.Fuji is directly above Izu, and the Miura peninsula (where Kabu no Isaki and YKK are set) is in the East. So in Kabu c.34, Shiro-san is in Miura loking North-west across Sagami bay towards Mt.Fuji.
Third chapter wowowo!!!! Thaaaaaannnnkkkkkkkkkkkkkkssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can fell your little sorrow. Yeah, all things have and end. Good ones, like this manga, and bad ones.
A question: is Izu = Mt Fuji?
Two chapters in a week? I think we can do better than that...
I love working on Kabu, it's one of my favorite series. But at the same time it makes me a little sad, because I'm nudging closer to the final chapter (C.48).
Well, all good things must come to an end! And when Ashinano-sensei brings out his next series, Roselia will of course be working on it.

Yyaayyyyyy! Two chapters in this week is just ... !!! thanks a lot!
Actually, no. YKK is set in our world in the future, when humanity has gone into decline. This is set in an alternate world. where the world is much larger than it is here, which is why Mount Fuji's peak is above the atmosphere and everybody has to fly such long distances to get anywhere. They both have a similar feeling though, being both largely empty worlds (with amazing scenery).
Thanks for the new chapter Roselia. This manga really soothes the soul.
the same world as YKK i guess.
kajika x isaki......?
Na, don't worry, nothing bad can happen in this manga! Certainly some beautiful mysterious landscape ~
Thank you Roselia!
Roselia, thanks for the new chapter. I think I have enjoyed every chapter of everything Asinano Hitoshi has written. There's just such a great feel about them.
So light and delicious.
Thanks a lot for the chapter!!!
I wonder if that plane is actually alive?
YAY! Thank you for the new release! What would we do without you ? /_O_\
By the author of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou? INSTANT FOLLOW!!
Whoah, wait, an autopiloted plane? And a C-130 at that? This is a huge departure from the normal planes and not-so-futuristic environment we've seen up to now.
Cool.
Hello boys and girls
I'm the translator from Roselia.
I'm glad to you Kabu, it's a series close to my heart.
We'll try and release at least a chapter per week in future.
I just realised something...
Maybe the world isn't larger than normal but... the people are smaller than normal?!
Roselia,
Thanks for the two great chapters. I'm just wondering, though, were the sound effects while they were in their futons Sayori snoring? Doesn't really matter if I find out, I still love this manga. You guys (gals?) rock!
