奇病「スマホ首」が幻想郷に!
住民は感染に注意を

Stange "Smartphone Neck"-Disease in Gensokyo!
Citizens Take Heed of Infection[1]

香霖堂に新製品が続々入荷中ということは既報の通りだが、商品だけでなく病気までもが、次々に幻想郷へもたらされているかもしれない。 As mentioned in our previous article, Kourindou not only gets arrivals of new products on a daily basis, but also diseases, which could spread to each and every citizen in Gensokyo.
我々の独自調査によると香霖堂の文鎮「スマホ」を使い続けると、頸椎に深刻な損傷を追ったのち、「スマホ首」を発症してしまうという。 According to our own investigation, continuous usage of Kourindou's "Smartphone"-Paperweight can lead to a serious cervical vertebrae injury called "Smartphone Neck".
どうやら病気自体は既に幻想郷に入り込んでしまった。その動かぬ証拠がこの写真である。このような者を見かけたら、いち早く縁を切るべきだ。可能な限り接触を持つべきではない。もしくは、自分の力に自身のある者であれば、一刻も早く始末していただければと思う。これ以上の被害者を増やさないためにも、すみやかに病原菌を断つべきだ。このままでは、もうひとつの奇病「歩きスマホ」も遠からず幻想郷にやってくるだろう。独りでに歩くというから、付喪神の新種ではないだろうか。見かけたら是非退治しよう。 It appears that the disease has already entered Gensokyo. Our picture here shows the living, walking proof. Should you ever encounter a person with such a neck, you must quickly avoid contact with them. Perhaps any physical contact as far as possible. Alternatively, if you are confident in your own powers, we hope that you can promptly take care of the issue yourself. In order to not cause any more victims, the virus must be eradicated. If not, Gensokyo might also fall victim to the "Walking Smartphone"-disease[2] sooner or later. As the name goes, it can walk all on its own. Could it be a new kind of Tsukumogami? If you happen to see one, exterminate it immediately.
「スマホ首」になったと思われる赤蛮奇氏 Sekibanki: Appears to have been infected by "Smartphone Neck".

Notes

  1. In Japan "text neck" is often called as "smartphone neck".
  2. Also called "Smartphone Zombie" in the west.
