I made sure to check every word's definition in several dictionary sites and made sure it's coherent to the original work. but if there's anything I need to change, please feel free to tell me and I'll verify and change it.

EDIT: I made a basic summary of the writing this is based off of. Please read the full story if you can as this isn't everything.

p1

In a city in the United States, a woman who lived in the slums named Cindy, was stalking a lost Japanese tourist. She stole the tourist's bag, took the bills and threw the rest of the things back to the tourist.

p2

In a dilapidated building, Cindy bought some medicine for her dad. They lived in the slums because his business failed and he got divorced. Her father's health was deteriorating.

A few days later, Cindy didn't get enough money from the Japanese tourists. Ted, a fellow thief, suggested that Cindy prostituted herself. She refused. Ted was eyeing Cindy and she disliked that. Ted suggested that she helped him with stealing electronics. She refused because she likes to work alone. Ted left and later, Cindy saw an advertisement for a job for 50 thousand dollars. She reluctantly decided to go to the location on the ad.

p3

There, a middle aged man in a lab coat greeted her. She asked how she's gonna get the $50,000 and he requested a kidney. She laughed. She knew the market price of kidneys are several hundred thousand dollars. The stated that it's cheaper because her organs would be replaced by a mechanical one. The man also stated that even though mechanized organs are available, there are still people who would pay for organic organs. The buyer pays for the donor's mechanization and would be done in a reputable hospital. He also said that she can sell any organ. Cindy suggested that she'd like to sell all of her body parts. The man tallyed up the amount and said it would be 1 million dollars. Because she is going to be completely mechanized, it is cheaper to convert her and she wouldn't need as many artificial organs. He confirmed Cindy's choice and she agreed excitedly. He will pay an advance when the surgery happens.

Two days later, on the day of the surgery, she recieved $100,000 in her bank. She would get the rest after the mechanization. During the Mechanization, her memories and experiences were transfered to a reproduction of her head. Then her organs and skin were harvested. She would be completely mechanized. After the surgery, she activated her pseudo-personality. The rest of the money was transferred. To confirm, the man said that she can see it on a terminal on her chest, which is connected to her new brain. It was like a cell phone. Cindy rushed the explanation of her newfound body so that she can buy medicine for her dad but learned it rather quickly. She quickly left the hospital.

p4

After leaving, she tested her body which was stronger than before. With the million, she plans to cure her father, get a job and leave the city. Suddenly, a group of men surrounded her. One of the men grabbed her and she quickly defended herself. She ran away to the main street so these men couldn't openly grab her. Unfortunately she tripped on something and fell. Suddenly she heard a familiar voice. It was Ted. He tripped her. Ted had a taser that was illegally modified with an external battery and he tazed the back of her head. Ted opened up her terminal to lower her volume and set it to the minimum amount. She couldn't speak so she tried to increase her volume. Ted tazed her again and again until she can't speak properly. An automated message requested to contact support. Ted was playing with the terminal until he found the shut down button. having been shut down, Cindy would be hauled into a truck.

p5

a few hours later, she arrived at their hideout. They checked out how much money she had by buying something from a vending machine. The men tried transferring her money to their bank accounts but needed her Password. Cindy couldn't answer. The activated her pseudo-personality. Her speech was still very disjointed and broken. Her human operations were broken. A man asked for her password but Cindy would freeze. When she sees Ted, she stops freezing. As soon as she sees another man, she freezes again. Ted decides to handle this and brought Cindy to a bedroom.

p6

As Cindy grew up, she spent a lot of time with Ted in the slums. Ted confessed that he wanked off to her. Ted opened up Cindy's terminal and opened up Sirixa. Cindy didn't need it but it was preinstalled to the terminal and could do basic movements. Sirixa asked Ted to register his voice. Ted asks Sirixa to kiss him but it didn't understand. But it did understand when Ted asks to take of Cindy's clothes. Ted inspected Cindy's nakedness. Sirixa couldn't recognize Cindy's name when Ted said it and displayed a bunch of people on the terminal whose name is Cindy (including Cindy herself). He selected Cindy's photo. Ted asks Cindy's breast size and Sirixa gave it to him. Ted rubbed Cindy's pussy. Sirixa would give basic answers when Ted asks questions. Ted would then insert his penis in Cindy. Then Ted suddenly wanted to see Cindy. Cindy's Pseudo-Personality suddenly booted up.

Again in a broken speech Cindy gets angry with Ted but she couldn't do anything about the sex. Cindy's pseudo-personality was getting harder to maintain. Ted asked Sirixa to say his name for 30 seconds. Cindy and Sirixa's expressions and words started mixing up. Cindy tried resisting but her pseudo-personality keeps freezing. Ted came but Sirixa continued saying his name. Cindy's pseudo-personality was severely damaged and could no longer resist or be angry. She can only respond. Ted asks Sirixa to wake him up at 6:00 am. Cindy would go to sleepmode after responding to Ted's "good night".

p7

The next day, Cindy woke up. She couldn't make any new memories and her speech is completely garbled. Suddenly she remembered that she needed medicine. tried wearing her clothes then her alarm went off. Ted woke up and kept her from leaving. Ted removed her t-shirt. as the alarm kept going, ted stuck his dick in Cindy's mouth and came. Ted turned off the alarm and turned on the pseudo-personality. She greeted him with his cum in her mouth. Ted asks for her password but she refuses to give it. She repeats the thoughts and movements before the alarm asking for her father's medicine. Ted had an idea. He leaves the room and grabs an envelope and places rocks in it. he comes back and tells her that he has the medicine at a bargain. She couldn't recognize it because her pseudo-personality is broken and thanked him. The price he asks is $10,000 which was the maximum that can be sent at a time. Cindy decided to buy it because she didn't know the real price, it was urgent to help her father and her pseudo-personality is broken. She transfered her money to Ted's bank account. Ted boots up Sirixa and Sirixa force reboots Cindy back to before she bought the medicine. Ted continues to do this until all of Cindy's money is removed from her bank account.

p8

A few days later, Ted transfers the money to different accounts so it wouldn't be suspicious.The repeated forced reboots had further damaged Cindy's pseudo-personality, and it looked like it was about to come to a complete halt. When the final transaction happened, Ted's friends came to pick up Cindy. She then suddenly remembered her plans with the money, how she's going to help her dad and get a job but it came out very garbled. Ted denied immediately Cindy's dream and told her she's gonna work as a Sexaroid. Ted openned up the maintainance hatch in her head and removed the Pseudo-personality unit. She turned off and the envelope with the rocks fell on the ground. The pseudo-personality unit was scorched and can no longer be fixed. Ted boots up Sirixa and he commands it to throw away both the pseudo personality unit and the envelope. Sirixa obeys with a smile. Ted then commands Sirixa to get on the truck.

Notes:
The title seemed to be a reference to "the six million dollar man" so I added the "The"
I tried my best to fit the glitchy speech to english
Ted's speech font was different compared to the usual "human font" 581 uses so I used a different font there too.

p1
I felt that it was more natural to add "so" in the first sentence, seeing that she is inspecting her new body.

I changed the latin characters "t" to a different font. from the context, she was trying to say "助け" meaning help so I changed it to h.

p3
『きすしろ』 from the original story, it seemed like ted was trying to get sirixa/cindy to kiss him. sirixa didn'tunderstand. the first sentence he said was 俺に……キスしろ. Leaving it as "kiss" felt awkward so I kept the full. Sirixa didn't understand so I put the whole kiss me together.

p4
会いたくなって to meet. It would also translate as "to miss". I felt that that is the most natural. In context, after Ted praised Sirixa, he says this, and messes with Cindy's terminal. I guess he turns on Cindy's pseudo-personality. I'll change it if there is something better.

p5
何勝手に a site said it would translate as "When used together with “ni” as “katte ni”, this phrase becomes an adverb that describes doing some action in a “selfish” way. This often has the nuance of doing whatever that person feels like (without respect for others), for example performing some action without the permission of another person."
"What the hell are you doing" felt close to the context of the drawing. If anyone has something better, I'll change it.

p7

元気でやれよ take care/good luck

今に分かるさ I saw now and soon. Soon seemed to be more natural.

so they cost a million dollars, even when you get the parts from the slums? was hoping for something more affordable.

Base +7, asdfzxc920 +6, DarkCocoon +6

To be fair, for a humanoid robot with full articulation in the modern day $1m is _very_ cheap...

Base +11, Gentleman Chimera +8, RandomDudeH +5, chicagotypewriter +8, errata +8, Sturmjager +14, yunnch +6

The translation is alright, but clearly the amount of narrative shortcuts in the original is unreal.

Base +6, errata +8, Ouroboros186 +6, Constipated_Guard +6, siliex +7, Sturmjager +14, Zakuzelo +14

Unreal? That's an understatement. This story is almost impossible to follow. Not saying outright impossible because with sufficient determination any story can be made heads and tails, but I, for one, don't have the determination to try to unravel that mess.

@Red 255
From what I read, she sold her body parts for 1 million for her dad's medicine. She got to be robotized as a service. Then she got mobbed by other homeless people (including a guy she knew named Ted). They found out she got money and they wanted it. In the end, Ted took the million and Siri threw away Cindy's (completely destroyed) original personality.

Base +7, errata +8, PinguPrin +7, Sturmjager +14, m42a +17

if the million dollars was an above board transaction, Ted would be caught guilty of rape and murder the moment he tried to use the money, and likely sooner.

and the company in question would be in trouble for other security issues leading to her death.

Base +7, froghero +9, PinguPrin +7, Constipated_Guard +6, Cadavrus +6, dennislel +6

The translation is great and I think the author wasn't aiming for a Pulitzer. Probably just got horny while trying to get Siri/Alexa to understand a basic sentence and had a penile epiphany.

Base +10, Draw99Gray +18, PinguPrin +7, Seph9 +6, dennislel +6, Chaoster +6

so, she turned herself into a sex robot for money. so far, so good. but not only did she sacrifice herself to save her father (which is fucked up in and of itself), she then got raped AND robbed AND her soul got erased? this is a whole new level of fucked up. it's like Ghost in the Shell 2, but with a completely miserable ending. and the worst part is that it's all crammed into 8 pages. what a shame. this artist is clearly talented, I wish he'd make actual, full-length comics.

Base +5, Cadavrus +6, guyrandom87 +7

@Red 255

From what I could understand, the organ harvesting is a bit seedy but the robotization was above board, I think. What Ted did to get the money was after the sex, because Cindy's personality box is so broken by then, he showed her some rocks and told her it was medicine. She bought them for 10k dollars then he got Siri to force reboot her so that she forgot the transaction. He would do this until Cindy was completely broken. You can see the rocks on the bottom of the last page (and maybe her personality is there too.) I think he spread the money to other accounts to try to make it seem above board.

Base +7

there seems to be a shit ton of story here that isn't in the piece, are we missing pages?

Base +7

@Red 255
No, this is the full comic done by 581. Rest of the story is https://www.pixiv.net/novel/show.php?id=15174256 if you want to read it. I can give you a summary if you want.

Base +7, Constipated_Guard +6, Sturmjager +14

Bless your soul for another translation of 581's work

Base +7, Sturmjager +14

@sectorunit888

Thanks. I'm currently doing the next one. I have a question though. How do I translate this: 対魔士? It seems to be some sort of reference/parody/etc to Taimanin (対魔忍) but Taimanin uses a different kanji for the last one 忍. The hiragana given when she starts glitching in page 5 is たいまな (taimana) but pronunciation guides make this kanji 士 as し (shi). I'll ask 581-san or someone for a pronunciation guide if you can't think of anything.

Base +7

@VermillionFox162

I can't help a thing about translating moonrunes, but if it's any help, the character 581 drawn is an OC of Mascarpone that is a parody of Taimanin, so it's probably the usual Japanese thing where they bend the wording as to avoid the copyright laws.

Base +7

@sectorunit888

Thanks. I was wondering if it was a parody or not and whether to change it to english or have it translated as pronounced. I'll do the latter then.

Anyways, I currently have 40 out of the 50 text bubbles redrawn. But the 4 bubbles on p4 with the smoke, I'm still deciding on how I'm gonna handle them. It seems to me that the purple words must line up with it and I'm not sure how I'm gonna tackle it.

Base +7

@VermillionFox162

It's quite hard at those smoky parts since it's her normal ego vlashing with the brainwashed ego. I think if it's possible, changr the smoke inside the box to be horizontal aligned instead of vertical since that's how JP read as opposed to english.

Base +7

@sectorunit888

It's not gonna be that easy because I'd need to redraw the smoke. Those bubbles are also translucent so you could see the character behind the bubble. I'll try my best though.

Base +7

@VermillionFox162

Godspeed then.

Base +7

So, the sexdroid has the appearance of Cindy, but it's not her body, nor her personality. I understand identity denial/removal/theft (physically as well) is a fetish, but I don't quite see why Cindy (her personality/body) is required in the first place. I mean all it needs is just a sexdroid that looks like Cindy and then get rid of Cindy, I don't see why "body modification" is required. Just like the works by "Cyber F".

I wrote a summary of the original work. Please give it a read if you want. Thanks! :)

@VermillionFox162 Fuck Ted. I hope he dies slowly and painfully.

I agree! Ted's an ass.
