matsuri special 17

a majestic warrior soars into the ring… honey princess returns!!

battle 17: confessed true feelings

p2
Magokoro Prowrestling is shooting for a comeback!!

anyhow

we have the ring at least, so we can make something happen

the next 3 days, all of us are gonna clean up this place to where can start business again

p3
yes sir!

you too matsuri
after school come straight back here

matsuri…

hm?

oh
what?

get back here after school and help

oh
yeah
I know

tch…can you try and concentrate for a second?

p4

I like you!

last night… I didn’t hear him wrong, I wasn’t just imagining things either

I heard him say it with my own ears

p5
I couldn’t sleep a wink

“shigematsu likes me…?”

but wait, that’s strange

I mean, hes with mimi maru!!

(boxes) I bet theyre in on it together
just to make fun of me

“hey arata, wanna mess with hanyu a bit? she’d fall for anything”

“yeah I know, I bet no ones ever told her they liked her. heheheh”

….

why were they naked…

shigematsu, and Mimi Maru…

p6
I know neither of them are like that

but no ones ever said that to me before, so I cant afford to take it lightly

Ma~tsu~ri cha~n
morning

oh
morning toshiko

whats this?

hmmm?
you look down, what is it?

ギラギラ
*glare*

um…

p7

you look kinda pale too
wait!?
theres a faint red mark on your forehead…whats wrong, matsuri!

its nothing

I fell down by the sink yesterday and…

*gasp*

p8

Ma…

matsuri chan
what is wrong with you

your face is…

first it was blue, now its red,

I don’t feel so good
I’m gonna go to the nurse’s office

so much for saving face…

I am way too easy to read…

p9
my head’s spinning…
its lack of sleep…

hello~

excuse me?

she’s not here

I’ll just lie down for a bit

argh...

bloods rushing to my head

p10
I’m pretty sure I don’t think of shigematsu in that way
but…

I can’t get it out of my head
agh
dammit

its no use
times like this I have to…

here we go

shut up…

p11

p12
hmph

that feels a bit better

I wonder why the neck bridge always helps me relax
even though it makes my neck huge

oh
is someone in there?

oh
yes

sorry, letting myself in

I just needed to lie down for a bit

you’re supposed to write your name down and get permission first

oh
im fine now, I’ll go back to class

my name is Hanyu Matsuri, second year

p13
I see

if youre not feeling well come back alright?

yes ma’am

hey
hows your headache

morokado

oh youre up

sensei

p14
can normal girls do a neckbridge?

huh?

neckbridge?

what is it arata…
why’d you call me here


p15

whats up with Hanyu?
I was scheduled for practice with her

its ok, its not that serious

yeah, we’ll think of something…

more than that though…

hanyu is probably still thinking

that you and me are together

and I’m thinking
that I should do something about that

p16
you told hanyuu
that you like her?

and, you want to show that you’re for real?

“go out with me…”

“and I’ll keep her secret”

sorry

what are you apologizing for

stupid

p17

basically, my goal was just to get her to wrestle again

I got to see the real hanyuu, and I consider that an accomplishment

I don’t need you anymore
the ring is my real love

don’t give up
arata

you gotta keep trying
that girl is really dense so she just doesn’t get it, you know?

p18

thank you

you’re a really cool girl you know

pshh, don’t tell me that NOW

laters….

p19

so that’s pretty much it

p20

shigematsu was going out with you…
to cover for me?

that’s right

is that what it was…

I had no idea…

you know, Arata …
hes serious about it

think it over well ok?

p21

Mimi…

if you hold back on me when we wrestle, I’ll throw you right on your ass

when the real match comes I’ll jump in and rip your mask off

hold back?
I…

I wouldn’t even think of that, with the tight spot our gym is in right now

and also
I uh…

have someone that I like and stuff

by that you mean HIM?

p22

wataru
lets play

basketball sucks

dude, you played back in Junior High didn’t you?

oh

its wataru

I really dont get what you see in him
your taste sucks

eh? go ahead, tell me what you like about him

like?

theres lots of things

things?

huh? its just his face isn’t it?

well the face is important no?
people have been drawn to beauty since the olden days because they
want their descendants to have good genes

p23
stop bullshitting me!!

sfx: shove

woah

no way

p24

ahhhhhhhhhhh

I’m falling…

p25

p26

meow?

p28

meoooowwwwwww

craaap!

wataru saw it!

p29

yeah I’m sorry ok?
it’ll be fine
they just think you’re possessed by a cat

like hell they do…

but hey, nothing bad happened so that was good

I wish I just landed on my head

go to hell hanyuu

hey it was all cause YOU pushed me, for crying out loud!!

yeah well...

…the hell’s wrong with you?
the crowds waiting

princess

the place is totally packed

right…

p31

banner: welcome back honey princess

p32

if we can keep showing them a good fight
we should be able to pay this place off someday

even though I gave up wrestling once…
people still welcome me with open arms

p33

why do I feel like this?

I thought wrestling meant nothing to me

p34
damn, this is exactly what my dad wanted isn’t it

hey
wait!! this area is off limits

hey!

lets have you fight every day!
