(For purpose of this translation, details are listed from top to bottom on the right and
then top to bottom on the left.)
Brain: Is she naturally this way? Or is she intentionally evil? It's very subtle.
Mouth: It seems that this is where she gags on blood and breathes out carbon dioxide.
Heart: Does she really have one?
Digestive system: X-rays show a gigantic amount of shading.
Arm: Easy to see she has an irregular pulse.
Leg: She can run the 100 meter dash in 11 seconds. It seems like she's gifted, but she
would probably die before finishing.
Achilles Heel: Her whole body is her weak point, so it doesn't really matter.
Eyes: They look bad, but occassionally she can see well. She usually wears contacts.
Lungs: The place she vomits blood from is probably here.
Stomach: Maybe also here.
OO: If you think deeply about it, you'll lose. (my guess for an English equivalent is
don't even think about it.)
Hips: "No panty shots allowed" seems to have been established.
"Favorite colors are red and black."
