Adapted Translation:	Three bullets left...

Breakdown:

第 １ 話 お しまう 　　い

Definitions:

第 as a prefix means "number", much like the # symbol 話（わ） as a suffix means "chapter" お is a prefix that adds formality (specifically, お is for kun'yomi words, and ご is for on'yomi words) しまう = "to end/finish" い = -i form, in this case a gerund

Literal Translation:	#1 Chapter - Ending
Adapted Translation:	Chapter 1 - The End

Breakdown:

ひとり １発 でも ３人 …… んな に 上手い 　　く いく わきゃ ねぇ か ……

Definitions:

ひとり = "one person" １発 = "one shot" でも = "even", "but" or "something like" ３人 = "three people" んな = そんな or あんな = "that" に makes the previous word an adverb 上手い（うまい） = "good"/"skilled" く = adverb form, "well"/"skillfully" いく = "to go" わきゃ = わけは which marks "reason"/"circumstances" as a subject ねぇ = ない = "none" か marks a question, in this case rhetorical

Literal Translation:	Even if one shot one person, three people......is there no reason for it to go that well......?
Adapted Translation:	Even if I got one person with each shot, I'd only take down three people......and there's no way it'd even go that well, I guess......

Breakdown:

野郎 どこ 行く 　きやがる 　　　　った !?

Definitions:

野郎 = "guy"/"bastard" どこ = "where?" 行く = "to go" きやがる = -i yagaru form, expresses anger regarding the action った = past form

Literal Translation:	Where went that bastard!?
Adapted Translation:	Where'd that bastard go!?

Breakdown:

おい！ そっち を 捜す 　せ !!

Definitions:

おい is an interjection used to get someone's attention or express frustration with them. Usually translates to "hey!". そっち = "that way" を marks an object 捜す = "to search"/"to look for" せ = command form

Literal Translation:	Hey! Search that direction!
Adapted Translation:	Hey! Someone go look over there!

Breakdown:

よしっ！ そこ だ っ！ いく 　　な っ！

Definitions:

よし = いい = "good"/"fine"/"OK", but よし is often used as an interjection like "OK!"/"Yes!"/"Yeah!" そこ = "there" いく = "to go" な = negative command form

Literal Translation:	Yes! There! Don't go!
Adapted Translation:	Yes! That's it! No, not that way!

Translation:

Ah!! Dammit!! Uwa! Kaaaaaaa!!

Breakdown:

な〜に 騒ぐ 　いでる 　　　ん だ 正〜〜 !!

Definitions:

な〜に = なに = "what?" 騒ぐ = "to make noise"/"to be excited or alarmed"/"to be annoying or troublesome" いでる = -teru form = "_ing"/present tense ん replaces the る 正 = "Masa".

Literal Translation:	What are you making noise about? Masaaaa!!
Adapted Translation:	What're you yelling about? Masaaaaa!!

Breakdown:

すっすいやせん、 おやっさん！

Definitions:

すいやせん = すみません = "sorry". The み becoming い is a slur common to all dialects, but using やす instead of ます is Kansai-ben. おやっさん = Kansai-ben for おやじさん = "father" or "boss" Neither man in this scene is actually speaking completely in Kansai-ben (for instance, on the next few pages they use だ and いい where Kansai-ben would use や and ええ), so things like the やす and おやっさん from this line should be interpreted simply as slang.

Translation:

Sorry, boss.

Breakdown:

いや、 お客さん が 大穴 当てる 　　ちまう 　　　　いやす 　　　　　　して ねぇ !?

Definitions:

いや = as a transition or lead-in, "no"/"well"/"actually" お客さん = "guest"/"customer"/"client" が marks a subject 大穴 = "dark horse". From Wikipedia: A dark horse is a race horse that is not known to gamblers and thus is difficult to place betting odds on. 当てる = "to hit"/"to correctly guess"/"to be exposed to"/"to apply to" ちまう = -chimau form = -te shimau form = "regrettably". There's nothing regrettable about his client winning a bet, so this form is only meant to make the sentence sound more apologetic. Interpreted another way, the bet winning was regrettable because it made him 騒ぐ which annoyed his boss. いやす = Kansai-ben for います = polite form して = conjunctive -te form. In this case I would say it conjuncts with the 騒ぐ from his boss' question above, since the purpose of this sentence is to answer said question, i.e. explain why he was 騒ぐing a second ago.

Literal Translation:	Well, a client correctly guessed a dark horse and...
Adapted Translation:	It's just, a client won a bet on a dark horse, so I...

Breakdown:

今回 の もうけ 全部 もつ 　っていく 　　　　かれる 　　　　　　ちまう 　　　　　　　　います 　　　　　　　　　　した ！

Definitions:

今回 = "this time", presumably meaning "this horse race" の marks possession もうけ = gerund of 設ける = "profit"/"earnings" 全部 = "all"/"everything" もつ = "to carry"/"to possess" っていく = looks like -te iku form, but もっていく is always used as if it was a compound verb. It literally means "to carry and go", and less literally "to take away". かれる = passive form, "to be taken away" In fact, もっていく is common enough that its passive form もっていかれる can be recognized even without the い, as it is in this sentence. ちまう = -chimau form = -te shimau form = "regrettably". います = polite form した = past form

Literal Translation:	All this time's profits were regrettably taken away!
Adapted Translation:	So he's taken all the profits for this race!

Breakdown:

ノミ も 楽 じゃ ある 　ります 　　　せん や ！

Definitions:

ノミ = gerund of 飲む = "drinking" も marks one of multiple subjects 楽 = "ease"/"comfort" ある = "to be" りません = polite negative form じゃありません is essentially a more formal version of じゃない. や = Kansai-ben for だ

Literal Translation:	Drinking also won't be easy!
Adapted Translation:	We won't be able to afford as much drinking!
I'm not confident that he's referring to their ability to afford alcohol here (maybe he's saying the next drinking party won't be as fun?), but that's just because these first few pages are meant to set the scene without going into unnecessary detail, so it doesn't really matter what exactly he means by this.

Translation:

Masa.

Breakdown:

おめえ 今年 で いくつ に なる ん だっけ ？

Definitions:

おめえ = おまえ = "you" 今年 = "this year" で marks a situation いくつ = "how many?". When it's not obvious from context what いくつ is asking about, the default is a person's age. に なる = "to become" だっけ = "was that what it was?". Since there's an interrogative pronoun in the question, a more accurate definition here would be "what was it?".

Literal Translation:	You, in this year, become how many, what was it?
Adapted Translation:	How old will you be this year again?

Translation:

Oooh......I'll be 36......

Breakdown:

手ぇ 見す 　してみる 　　　　ろ ！

Definitions:

手ぇ = 手 = "hand" 見す = 見せる = "to show". してみる = -te miru form, "to try _ing (and see what happens)" ろ = command form In this case, the "and see what happens" nuance of the -te miru form implies that the speaker expects to see something interesting when he looks at the protagonist's hand.

Literal Translation:	Try showing me your hand.
Adapted Translation:	Show me your hand for a second.

Breakdown:

きれい な 手ぇ する 　しとる なあ

Definitions:

きれい = "pretty"/"beautiful" な marks an adjective 手ぇ = 手 = "hand" する = "to do", in this case the usage is slightly colloquial and more like the English verb "to have" しとる = -toru form, Kansai-ben for the -teru form なあ places some emphasis on the descriptive word(s) in the clause, in this case きれい

Literal Translation:	............you are having beautiful hands!
Adapted Translation:	............you've got some beautiful hands.

Breakdown:

ヤクザ で こんな きれい な 手ぇ する しとる 奴ぁ よっぽど 要領 が いい か ……… 今 まで なんにも する してくる 　　こない 　　　　かった か …………

Definitions:

ヤクザ = "yakuza" で marks a situation こんな = "this" きれい = "pretty"/"beautiful" な marks an adjective 手ぇ = 手 = "hand" する = "to do", in this case the usage is slightly colloquial and more like the English verb "to have" しとる = -toru form, Kansai-ben for the -teru form 奴ぁ = 奴は = marks "guy(s)" as a subject The sentence so far is "Guys who have hands this beautiful in the yakuza are..." よっぽど = "greatly"/"very much" 要領 = "the important part" が marks a subject いい = "good"/"fine"/"OK" The phrase 要領がいい means "good at getting things done". This may mean they're skilled at performing a certain task themselves, or merely skilled at getting others do do the task for them. To help understand this particular sentence, recall that in English you can "keep your hands clean" by having other people do your "dirty work" for you. か marks this clause as a question 今 = "now" まで = "until"/"as far as"/"even" なんにも = なにも = "nothing" する = "to do" してくる = "to go do" こなかった = past negative form か marks this clause as a question Recall that two ka-clauses in parallel like this usually mean "whether...or"/"either...or".

Literal Translation:	Guys who have hands this beautiful in the yakuza either are very good at getting others to do their dirty work for them, or haven't done anything up until now.
Adapted Translation:	The only way to have hands like this in the yakuza is to either have other people doing your dirty work, or to never do anything at all.

Definitions:

Literal Translation:	Will you end your whole life in this state of being the phone guy!?
Adapted Translation:	Are you gonna spend the rest of your life answering phones!?

Breakdown:

一 働き する して 出所する 　　して くる きたら おめえ も 幹部 だ

Definitions:

一 = "one" 働き = gerund of 働く "to work" Note that 一働き is pronounced ひとはたらき. This is essentially an impromptu counting word for 働きs or "jobs". する = "to do" して = conjunctive -te form 出所する = "to go work at a place" して = conjunctive -te form Notice the furigana are でて, the conjunctive -te form of でる "to go out" くる = "to come"/"to go" きたら = -tara form, "if/when you come/go" おめえ = おまえ = "you" も marks one of multiple subjects 幹部 = "leaders" of an organization

Breakdown:

破門 状 書く 　いてやる から やめる 　　ちまう 　　　　いな

Definitions:

破門 = "exile"/"excommunication" 状 as a suffix means "letter of _" One of the most severe punishments that can be given to a yakuza member is 破門 or 絶縁, which essentially mean being exiled from the group (絶縁 is permanent, 破門 may be repealed later). When this is done, a 破門状 is sent to other yakuza groups so they know the man is no longer connected to that group. [source: http://www.npa.go.jp/hakusyo/h05/h050101.html] 書く = "to write" いてやる = -te yaru form, which doesn't add any particular meaning から = "so"/"because"/"from"/"since"/"starting from _" やめる = "to stop"/"to quit" ちまう = -chimau form = -te shimau form = "to finish _ing", often the intent is something like "get it over with" or "just do it already" いな = -i na soft command form
