Big pig: I love you! Let's go steady!!

Little pig: No thanks!!

{Challenge the one that you love to a match of 'Ping pong'.....}

{And upon victory.....}

{That person has to go out with you, no questions asked!!!}

(Handwritten- Gacchan say 'aaah')

(Handwritten- Aaah)

Gaku: It tastes awesome!! The pasta and the sauce are incredible.

Kako: It certainly does!!

Guy: THAT'S NOT A SCHOOL LUNCH DAMMIT!!

(Handwritten- Moreover, why'd you describe the taste that way?!)

Guy: That damn transfer student....!!

(Handwritten- Mmmm)

(Handwritten- Open up for more~)

Guy: Thinkin' he can waltz in and take OUR Kako-chan from us...!!!

005

(Top text- The new serialization Takkoku!!! A total sum of 50 pages!!)

Guy: Ngh!

And he hasn't even been able to beat her in 'Takkoku' yet...!!!

Yeah!! The rules of Takkoku specificially state that you can't even touch the person,

Unless you beat them in a game!!!

So where the hell is the Judgeman?!?!

That's considered 'touching' isn't it?!?!

(Handwritten- So cool....)

Guy: Yep, though the way she's holding those chopsticks is kind of weird...

More importantly though, is the judgeman losing his edge....?

Wait....

Look!!!

See...!?
They're using the chopsticks as a medium!! They're not actually touching each other at all!!!

(Sfx- Poi drop)

Guy: 'The...the hell is that?!?!

Guh....Game over....

To think that they'd go that far....

(Handwritten- They're geniuses...)

Muko: Whatever.

006

Kako: Oh! Look Look! I made this for you!!

Ta-daaah!

Guys: Could that be a Gacchan doll that she pulled out of her bag?!?

Kako: And that's not all! Open his zipper and....

Ta-daaah!!

Guys: No way, a Matroshka?!?

(TN- Matroshka are Russian stacking dolls.)

Gaku: I've got something for you too.

(Handwritten- I made these back when I was in Russia.)

Guys: WHYYY!?!

(Handwritten- And he even got them to Synchro up?!?!)

Gaku: It was a little while ago, but I made a venetian class sculpture of you too!

(Handwritten- Here!)

Kako: Wow! How..Venetian!!

Oh yeah, while were talking about that....

(Sfx- Don bump)

Gaku: Ah...

Kako: Ahaah, whoopsie!

Both: Ah...

Gaku: Kako-chan....

Kako: Yes....?

008

Judgeman: GUILTY!!!!

Gaku: NBGHA!!!

(Handwritten- The Judgeman!!!)

Kako: Gacchan! Are you okay?!

Gaku: Yeah...

So he kicks too.....

What's wrong?

Kako: It's saddening....

009

Kako: I finally get to see you again after 10 years....

But I can't even touch you, Gacchan......

I can't bear this sadness.....

Muko: Kako....I understand that your hurting because of your feelings,

But this is pointless.

Kako: Mu-chan...

Muko: It's because of the 'Takkoku' rule yanno?

Kako, you're Japan's number one Ping pong player,

And Unfortunately, unless this Ping pong newbie can get his act together, this is what'll keep happening.

If this keeps up, your budding relationship won't go anywhere.
Kako: Hmmmmmph!!!

Muko: Her face is huge....

010

Gaku: Kako-chan,

Kako: Ngh?

Gaku: It'll be fine!!!

After all, I did say that I'd do whatever it takes to become stronger than you!

Kako: Sh...

Shweeeet......

(Handwritten- He's so sweet he glows.....)

Muko: HOW?!

You talk as if it'll be easy....

But you're going to need the power of all the gods and then some to win you know.

011

Gaku: I won't know till I try right?

I lost to Kako-chan three days ago.....

And since then, I've been undergoing a 'Secret training regime'!

So how's that?

I won't go down so easy today.

012

(TN- I love you Fukuchi.)

Announcer: Marunouchi Gaku is no longer able to continue!!!

The winner is Tamano Kako!!!

Kako: Whaaa?!

Muko: DID YOU REALLY DO ANYTHING?!?
Gaku: That's weird...

I read all of the Ping pong books I could over the last three days....

Muko: IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL TRAINING?!?!

{After school....}

Kako: What?!

Gacchan, your house is close to mine?!

Gaku: Yeah.

013

Gaku: Let's head home together Kako-chan.

Kako: 'Kay!

Lucky!!

(Handwritten- I'm here too you know....)

Gaku: I'm sorry that I sucked again today.....

Kako: Why are you apologizing Gacchan?! You didn't do anything wrong!!

(Handwritten- It's all because I'm too freakishly strong!!)

Kako: Take your time learning Takkoku okay?

No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you!

Gaku: Kako-chan....

That's right...

Kako-chan's pretty strong, so I guess I don't need to worry about other guys taking you away...

So in the meantime, I'll just work harder on becoming better!

???: Found ya!!

014

Girl Marunouchi Gaku!!!

Gaku: Huh?
Oh yeah! I met you at the airport!

Why are you here?

More like, how do you know my name?

Girl: Gahahahahah!! I'm a hard workin' girl yanno!

Tain't nothin hard about findin' that out!

Gaku: You were looking for me?

Why?

Girl: Just a cotton pickin' minute!!!

Girl: Ya saved me when I was havin' a tough time....!!

'Cause ya did somethin like that......!!!

Gaku: Say what?

Girl: YA MEAN YA DON'T UNDERSTAND ME?!!?

016

Girl: 'Takkoku' ya bum!!!

Gaku: Uh...?

Muko: Wh---

017

(Top text- Second chapter of a new serialization!!! Takkoku!!! 50 pages in total!!)

Kako: Mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-Mu-chan?

Wha----whaaa---t is this?

{In a panic.}

Muko: From the first impression he gave off, I didn't Marunouchi would be this lucky,

I mean, it's impossible right? For this guy.....

(Handwritten- This.)

Kako: Eh?

Muko: Marunouchi....

To think that a second girl would want to challenge you to Takkoku is incredible....

Kako: Th-then...

If Gacchan should lose to this girl.....

Hikari: Gaku would be mah boyfriend.

Kako: GHAH!!!!

{Kako takes 1000 damage points.}

018

Announcer: Let me explain the rules of Takkoku!!!

If the challenger Doujima Hikari manages to win this match,

She and Marunouchi Gaku would be coupled up immediately!!

Conversely, if Gaku should win, this rule is annulled!

Kako: HURRAY HURRAY GACCHAN!!!

GO FOR IT GO FOR IT GACHHAAAAAN!!!!

019

(Handwritten- HURRAY HURRAY GACCHAN!!)

Announcer: The serve will alternate between you two!

The first one to receive 11 points will be declared the winner!

(Handwritten underneath panel- If the game ends in a tie (10-10) then an extra serve will be added between both players, until one gains an extra point and then wins.)

Hikari: Yeah!!!

Muko: Hmm...

Kako: What's wrong Mu-chan?

Muko: It's nothing....but I could swear I've heard the name 'Doujima Hikari' before.....

I just can't remember where....

Announcer: Serve! Marunouchi!!!

Kako: GO FOR IT!!!!

020

Kako: Nice serve Gacchan!!!

021

Kako: Ah....

Ah....

022

Kako: Gacchan!!!

Gaku: Ngh....!!

(Sfx- Juuuuu fwissssssh)

Guy: What the hell was that just now?!!

The ball....what happened?!!?!

Muko: I remember now.

I heard a rumor on the net a few years ago.

There was a middle school student who would literally GRILL her Takkoku opponents....

And now that I think back...her name comes to mind....


023

Muko: 'The Ifrit from Doutonbori'

Doujima Hikari!!

(TN- Doutonbori is a tourist trap in Osaka Japan. Coincidentally it's where Hikari gets her distinct dialect. Check out more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C5%8Dtonbori)

Kako: GO BACK TO DOUTONBORI.........!!!!

{Salt}

(Sfx- NGHAAAAH!!!)

Muko: He can't win....

The newbie Marunouchi versus that monster....this ended before it began.

024

{Kako-chan is pretty strong, so I don't have to worry about any other guys taking you away...}

{So in the meantime, I'll just work harder on becoming better!}

{Yeah....}

{I was wrong in thinking that I can just take my time in getting stronger!!}

{Until the day that I defeat Kako-chan....}

Gaku: I can't...

{I can't lose to anyone else.....!!!}

Hikari: Now...

Let's get this movin'!!

Kako: KYAHHHH!! I got salt in my eyeeeees!!!!
