Hi anons, I'd like to present one of the painfully-overlooked-in-the-west classics from the golden age of Weekly Jump.
My scanlation skills aren't the best, but hopefully you can live with my shitty typesetting.
Magical Taruruto-kun chapter 1
Logan Cooper
Brayden Brown
Josiah Brooks
Yes, I know these pages don't line up all that well. Sorry. The raws are what they are.
Angel Moore
This guy will be renamed "Jaba Jabao" in a couple chapters, but this was his original name, not a typo.
Dominic Smith
How old is that girl supposed to be? What’s wrong with her head?
Luis Diaz
Mason Rodriguez
Ayden Foster
They're in 5th grade at this point.
James Hernandez
Owen Peterson
John Hill
Connor Watson
Jack Kelly
Lucas Phillips
Andrew Russell
Mommy!
Ayden Howard
Luis Powell
Not to knock the work you put in but this page is a perfect example of why most people put sfx translations in the margins
Noah Davis
She gets some great chapters later. She was also voiced by Hiromi Tsuru in the anime.
Jackson Collins
Oliver Roberts
I'll consider it for later chapters. That's the kind of comments I wanted, actually.
Blake Morgan
Luis Parker
Luis Martin
And that's the somewhat underwhelming end of chapter 1. The manga takes a couple chapters to really find its style, and this first one feels weirdly out of place.
Cooper Peterson
Uploaded it to mangadex as well.

Daniel Turner
But yeah, typesetting and the like is really not my forte, so comments and suggestions on what I really fucked up and should do differently are very welcome.
Hope you enjoyed the dump though.
Jeremiah Rogers
Thanks for dumping user. Consider updating MangaUpdates as well if you plan to go the long haul.
>21 volumes in 4 years
How in the actual fuck?

Connor Carter
Thanks looks comfy
Jack Nguyen
I liked it. Nice job.

It's a Weekly Jump manga, so 1 20 page chapter a week for 200+ weeks. Sounds about right.
Jayden Davis
HERE is the ending youtube.com
Christian White
Boy this artstyle is rough. Still, an interesting read so far, thanks OP.
Ayden Phillips
This first chapter isn't super representative of the series. It makes it come across as a wish fulfillment manga for 6 year olds,, yet it very quickly turns into something more like Dr. Slump meets Ranma.
William Baker
>It makes it come across as a wish fulfillment manga for 6 year olds
What?
John Watson
I've been waiting at least 10 years for this to happen. Thanks for stepping up.
You planning to do more or got any help? The translation is fine but there's a bit to be improved in the typesetting, specially when it comes to SFX.
Also, what raws did you use? I was a bit confused by the page numbering at start
Josiah Nguyen
I can't believe they pulled that off with cels. That's beautiful.
Ryan Walker
look at all that soul
Tyler Fisher
The early chapters look really bizarre. Especially Honmaru is barely even recognizable. The designs in the anime OP are much more representative of what the art style will eventually look like.
Gabriel Ortiz
If someone's willing to help with typesetting, I'd absolutely accept it. I'm not good at it, and it's not fun work in the slightest.
>Also, what raws did you use? I was a bit confused by the page numbering at start
They're some old pubraws I downloaded off a Japanese site some years ago. The high page numbering is just because the first volume starts with the pilot oneshot, which I skipped for now, I was planning on doing it after completing the rest of vol 1. It's not really how people should be introduced to the series.
David Perry
Smart boy.
Austin Jackson
>kid gets bullied at school
>randomly gets a magic friend that beats up the bully for him
I can see what he means
