It's been a while since I've released any new raw scans publicly, but I'm back with a very special treat for you all. This is a raw scan of Volume 4 of Kochikame. Now, I'm sure you're wondering why I'm only releasing volume 4 and nothing else. Or maybe you're wondering why I'm releasing this at all with public scans already available. Well, this is actually the original release of this volume, which begins with a sealed chapter titled 「派出所自慢の巻」or "Hashutsujo Jiman no maki", which can be translated as "Police Box Pride". This chapter was essentially banned from re-printings of the series sometime in the 80s or 90s, never to be seen again. The chapter involves Ryoutsu and Nakagawa filling-in at Mizumoto Park's police box. However, this police box has officers wearing military uniforms, which is why they're nicknamed 「国境警備隊」"kokkyoukeibitai", which translates to "border guards" or "border patrol". I think the reason it may have been banned is because at one point Ryoutsu and Nakagawa use antique firearms as kindling, and perhaps the publishers wanted to discourage the destruction of antique items. However, this is just speculation. When this chapter was removed, the chapters in vol 4 were re-arranged, and this chapter was replaced by a volume-exclusive chapter known as 「野球狂の男の巻」or "Yakyuu-kyou no Otoko no maki", which translates to "Baseball Madman". This chapter can be found in the current public raws of the series, or any of the current re-printings of vol 4. In any case, this torrent contains both a 300dpi JPG version and the original TIFs (also 300dpi this time around). You'll also notice that I've done a basic rotate and crop on these files, but haven't done any kind of cleaning or leveling except on the front cover. Anyway, enjoy!
