To begin, a few days ago, a friend of mine sent me the website of Comic Meteor and asked if there is a manga I'd be interested in translating. I then paid attention to this manga since it has the best artwork out of 9 series. Then I noticed that it is bimonthly, and the first chapter is only 12 pages long (one was black to boot), so I gave it a try.
For all who may be interested to have a quick look at the manga before reading, see http://archive.foolz.us/a/thread/65414783/ to get a glimpse. I found it yesterday while searching for information related to the manga.
As a side note, the "English" title of the manga is apparently modified from the google translation of the Japanese title: http://translate.google.com/#ja|en|邪神ちゃんドロップキック
Moreover, there's a scanlated version posted on jcafe, but I don't think you should read it because there is quite a large number of translation errors in the release. Apparently the translator is still a beginner in Japanese and can't even read simple phrases when they are hand-written, plus he guessed too much (notably mistranslating 受け身 (ukemi) as "Are you serious?"). That's why I still kept translating the chapter and posted it here. As usual, feel free to use my translation to typeset and fix any grammatical error you can find since I'm not a native English speaker. Now enjoy the first chapter of the manga about a gothic loli college girl living with a lamia who always tries to kill her but instead gets pwned by the girl. Chapter 2 will be out on 27.
Chapter 1 raw

P2Box1 - Her name is Hanazono Yurine.
P2Box2 - She is the strongest black conjurer on earth, who makes demons' intentions known to people.
P3Box1 - People fear her and call her
P3Box2 - Black Xavier the Evil Missionary.
Note: Named after St. Francis Xavier, a pioneering Roman Catholic missionary in the 16th century (see wiki)
P4Box1 - However, all of the above are just a fantasy in her brain.
P4B - Clatter
P4Box2 - In reality, she's just a college girl who likes horror movies about black magic and demonology, and has little bit of a cruel heart.
P5Box - But still, just the other day,
P6B - something almost unbelievable, even to the girl with teenage sickness, happened.

Page 4
P1Box - She accidentally succeeded in summoning a demon.
P1B - Welcome back.
P2SFX - Snap
P2B - I'm back, Jashin-chan.
Note: Jashin means "Evil God". Left the name as it is because "Evil God-chan" sounds retard as fuck.
P3Box1 - The being called Jashin-chan is this demon.
P3Box2 - The lower half of her body is that of a snake (or more precisely, a cobra), and the upper half is that of a girl.
P3Box3 - Her image is exactly that of a demon. She is clearly a demon for whoever looking at her!

P1B1 - Have you found a way for me to return to the demon world?
P1B2 - I've done some research at the library on my way home from school, but haven't found anything at all.
P1B3 - Flush
P2B1 - How come an evil god like me has to live with a human...
P2F - Groan
P2B2 - Well, I don't wanna live with a demon either.
P4B - Then as you wish, I shall gladly beat you to death!
P4Left - ☆This story is all fiction. It has nothing to do with any character or organization in the reality.
P5B - Death-guaranteed dropkick!!
P5Box - Jashin-chan sometimes shows her atrocious side and starts attacking!!
---------------
Page 6
P1Box - Living with a demon means adjoining oneself with death all the time!
P2F (right of the SFX) - Safe fall
P2B - Thud...
P3B1 - Hey, died?
P3B2 - Have you died?
P4B1 - ...So you tried to kill me again...
P4SFX - Rise up...
---------------
Page 7
P1B - Why?! Why didn't my death-guaranteed dropkick work?
P2B - What are you planning?
P4B1 - I...
P4B2 - I can be forced to return to the demon world if the summoner dies, that's why...
P5B - Didn't I tell you to wait because I'll find a way for you to return...?
P6B - I... I don't take instructions from humans!!
P7B - Oh really?

Page 8
P3B1 - GYAH! MY TAIL!! MY TAIL!!
P3SFX1 - Roll (x3)
P3SFX2 - Rebound (x2)
P3B2 - Ahaha, serve you right for trying to kill me.
P4B1 - Grr~ You're just a human! Just a mere human! I'll fucking kill you someday...
P4B2 - Oh, I knew you'd say that.
P5B1 - Just so you know, the next strike will be on your torso, not your tail.
P5SFX - Buzz (x2)
P5B2 - NOOOO!!
------------------
Page 9
P2B1 - How annoying... I just warned the next-door neighbor the other day, but I guess that didn't work somehow.
P2B2 - I-I'll go take care of that!
P2B3 - I'm saved...
P3B1 - Can you do something about it?
P3SFX - Ga-cha
P3B2 - I will show you how amazing an evil god is.
P4SFX - Snap
P6SFX - Halt...
P6B - Oh... It's become quiet...
------------------
Page 10
P1F - Phew
P1B - It's quiet now.
P1SFX - Snap
P2B1 - Wow, that's a lot of blood.
P2B2 - What did you just do?
P3B - ...Feel free to imagine it.
P4B1 - Hmph.
P4B2 - Well, doesn't matter as long as it's quiet, though.
P4B3 - It's scary how her expression hasn't changed one bit even after seeing me coming back with blood all over the body...
P5B1 - Well then, next, prepare the meal for me.
P5B2 - You rude human of a demon user!!
P5F - Guess I'll give you a shower first
------------------
Page 11
P2B1 - Okay, we can't waste the electricity, so let's go to bed.
P2B2 - Sure.
P3SFX - Flick
P3B - I'll kill you off when you turn off the light and let your guard down!
P4SFX - Sneak...
P5B - You fool! Don't you dare let your guard down!
P5SFX - Plunge

Page 12
P1B - GYAAAAH!
P2B - Urrgh... Damn you, sleeping on an anti-demon cushion...
P2SFX - Grumble
P4B - Dammit! Dammit!!
P4SFX1 - zzz (x2)
P4SFX2 - Bam (x2)
P4Box - This is still just the beginning of the strange cohabitation between Jashin-chan and Yurine.
P4Bottom1 - Could Yurine-sama's eye-patch be a gadget...? Please feel free to leave a message to cheer Jashin-chan up.
P4Bottom2 - To be continued in the next update
