"BIOHAZARD Marhawa Desire" Discussion

[News Bot]

Just got my copy of Shonen Jump Champion Issue 13 thanks to cvxfreak. Marhawa Desire is the first manga in the magazine. The only thing exclusive in the "Episode 0 Prologue" is the scene with the hooded woman and the whole part with the nuns. Here's the story synopsis, from what I can tell just from the pictures:

The manga opens with a student approaching her friend in a classroom, who is oblivious to her calls. She gets closer, touches her, and it's revealed that the student is a Zombie. Girl gets eaten. Cut to Doug White lecturing at Signapore University, with a bored Ricky Tozawa in the class. They leave together and have a brief discussion. Doug arrives in his office and is handed a letter from Mother Gratia, the director of Marhawa School, informing him of the outbreak. Doug bursts out, sees Ricky and asks him to tag along. They board a flight to the isolated island which Marhawa School is situated on, and begin driving through the island. They have another discussion. They arrive at the school, Ricky is amazed at the scale of it. They are met by two female students, one being Arisa from the Prologue. Ricky immediately has the hots for pretty much every girl there, and notices a cordoned off section of the school. They arrive in Mother Gratia's office, and she and Doug share a brief awkward staring silence. She explains the situation and brings them into the basement where they have chained up the zombified girl. Doug gives a brief explanation on the t-Virus and Umbrella.

Ricky leaves and wanders around the school for a while, flirting with some of the students, encountering a ton of rabbits and being scared by a dog. After all that exhausting walking, he lies down on a bench and is approached by two female students who hand him a water bottle. He is approached by the jerks of the school and shoved into a wall, until they are told to beat it by Arisa. She and Ricky walk and talk for a bit and she mentions the cross necklace she's wearing, then they are teased by another student. Cut to Doug and Ricky in their room, where Doug mentions the BSAA.

Cut to a warzone somewhere, where Chris Redfield and Beards Nevance are shooting Lickers and punching Cerberus in the face, before they are approached by Mera Biji and told that they have to go and see Doug. Cut back to the school, Doug is investigating outside at night trying to ascertain the cause of the t-Virus leak, and he remembers that rats spread the virus through Raccoon City and may have done the same here. He is watched by the hooded woman in heels, who is holding her cube device. Ricky wakes up with Arisa's large breasts in his face. Now she's also a Zombie. He gets bitten. Find out how he survives in Issue 14 on March 1st!

There is a "Marhawa's Report" which appears to focus on a new series element each issue whenever they are referenced in the manga. In this one, it focused on the BSAA and gave a history, descriptions on characters such as Chris Redfield, Beards Nevance, Josh Stone, Sheva Alomar and Mera Biji. References BH5 and REV.

All in all, looks pretty interesting and appears to be quite canon. Going to scan now and get it translated.

Thanks for the info.

[Pikminister]

It was confirmed by Capcom that the manga/comic was supposed to be canon.

So, translate away with glee!

Thanks for your efforts.

Ricky wakes up with Arisa's large breasts in his face.

Yep.

This is a manga all right.

[News Bot]

Yep.

This is a manga all right.

I shook my head, then it slightly redeemed itself when it was revealed that she was actually a Zombie staring him in the face... with tits. Totally shameless though, especially since her breasts are nowhere close to the size they supposedly are in every other scene she appears in.

[Archelon]

So is there any reason this Biji chick is considered the best SOA in the BSAA? You'd think that title would belong to Chris or Jill.

Wasn't shown in this issue, but I know there's at least one scene that will be shown in the manga where she wipes the floor with Licker brains.

[Archelon]

So she's basically the Spec Ops chick from ORC.

Wouldn't go that far, she bothers to use a gun.

[Archelon]

Then clearly she's not the best there is at what she does!

[TheBatMan]

Any indication as to when this is set? I'm assuming 2012 if this is indeed a prequel to Bio 6. Any character ages in the profiles or anything like that?
I wonder what the mention of Revelations is about.

Thanks for the info Newsbot, looking forward to the translation.

"Chris Redfield and Beards Nevance are shooting Lickers and punching Cerberus in the face"

Is new-age RE alright.

[Wrathborne]

Calm down Dracarys, Chris was punching things long before RE 5... he punched Wesker in Code V, right?

[Darkmoon]

Calm down Dracarys, Chris was punching things long before RE 5... he punched Wesker in Code V, right?

But Wesker wasn't a virus riddled monster who craved Chris' man flesh!

...allow me to rephrase that until I'm right.

[Wrathborne]

Wesker wasn't really gay until RE5...was he?

[Darkmoon]

'I used Barry for my...personal purposes.'

You decide.

[Wrathborne]

Was that from the remake or the original version?

[Det. Beauregard]

Remake.

Wesker's homosexual tendencies aren't something you'd really notice unless you're told about them, but once you are, you'll never see it the same way again...

"Ah, Chris. Little fishy, come see my hook!"

[DarkMemories]

God, reading that makes me sick. Punching Cerberus? Really?

Stupid manga writers are stupid.

I really hope we can ignore this like that space stuff from a few years ago.
