Zero Divide secret comic strip translation.

There is one of the secrets in this game.  After you
beat the game on the Easy setting with no continues,
if you highlight the Option mode on the title screen
and hold L1, L2, R1, R2, Start, and Select, using a
second controller, Then you'll see a comic strip. 
Unfortunately, the text is in Japanese and Time Warner
was in such a hurry to release the game at the time,
that they didn't translate it.  I don't know the
language or even have the game but luckily I have
found the translation in the magazine TIPS AND TRICKS
January 1997 edition.  I doubt you can buy a back
issue so I have typed the translation here.  Enjoy.

 

Once you see the title "D. N. M. Digital Neco Manga
for Playstation" with a picture of NECO with some red
stains and spots, the comic is about to begin.

and "soccer" sound similar in Japanese.)
