Dance! Kremlin Palace! by Shintaro Kago
Shintaro Kago is all the rage recently. The cover and feature article of Vice Magazine, a high-profile art show in Amsterdam… and a new scanlation on the internet!!!But seriously, Kago deserves it all. Here’s the prologue of Dance! Kremlin Palace!, a very surreal, episodic manga about Russia. This entire manga is very NSFW, so beware. It contains nudity, violence, and bad taste. Read at your own risk.This is not entirely a Cheap Manga production, but a collaboration. Anonymous K, who is responsible for a slew of other Kago scanlations hosted at Same Hat! Same Hat!, did the amazing editing for these volumes. Somehow he was able to fit my awkwardly worded sentences into really skinny word balloons. The scans came from another bloke, Caterpillar, who got these pages looking squeaky clean.I’ll try to post one chapter a week, and see how it goes like that. Enjoy!! And also, thanks for all the comments. It’s nice to know someone’s reading. Keep it coming!!

Oh, so you’re the one who translated this? Thanks a lot. The manga itself is hilarious, but I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw the inside flap with the chart of the leaders.

Are some of the pages in this chapter out of order? It seems like it should go 6-9-8-7-10 instead of 6-7-8-9-10. I know his comics can be bizarre, but usually they flow right?

@fridgewithfeet:
oh wow!!! i think you might be right!! hmmm….. okay, i just checked it myself, you’re totally right. not sure how it ended up like that, i guess the scans we got were out of order.
you’re right, i guess i didn’t notice because it was so weird anyways. we’ll put them in the right order for the final release.
thanks so much for the sharp eye!!!!

I’m from Russia, and of course, I’d seen lots of stereotypes of our country - as an example, drunken bear wearing ushanka cap and playing balalayka. But I’d never seen such a cruel joke, heh 
Turning each part of USSR upside down and making such a grotesque irony of it - you’ll rarely see such a thing in modern Internet, imho.
Rolled on a floor laughing while reading it! Really hilarious thing, everyone should just take a look on it. Thanks for the translating to English, ’cause my nihongo is not so good.
