Tezuka In English Discussion Forums

I found this neat little two-page tribute to Tezuka, drawn by Katsuhiro Otomo (who directed the Metropolis film) off a French Otomo forum, and thankfully saved it before the forum was shut down for good. I believe Otomo drew it for a fan at some convention.
Mind you, it's in French. I'm currently learning the language, but my skills aren't perfect, so maybe someone could translate this for us?
Anyways, enjoy!

oh wow, thanks for the scan! This is so funny!

Okay, I'll give it a shot...

Panel 1:
At this time of year, in Yagatake...
The leaves of the white birch have started to turn red, and fly around in swirl of gold...

Panel 2:
So I thought: "Oh ho ho, wouldn't it be nice to have a summer home here..."

Panel 3:
However, since Yagatake is full of hills and valleys...

Panel 4:
It might be just as well to be next to the cycling paths along the river Tama...

The only thing that would be up for some debate I think would be the use of "summer home" instead of "secondary home" in panel 2. Also, the literal translation of "hills and valleys" bit in panel 3 might also be translated as "always on the move". I believe there's an expression in French to that effect.

Nice find though, either way!

Thank you Strobe
And thank you DESERT SPIRIT. This is amazing and cute.
