p11

whats going on hanyuu
fine, whatever, shigematsu you know

arata?

oh

yeah
that guys supposed to be sick

he should just stay in bed but he keeps showing up for practice

well arata is not a quitter

that’s what I like about him

p13
im sorry mimi maru

that meaningless kiss

will just disappear inside of me

hey hanyuu
I talked to my boss yesterday but…

is it true
that the fans destroyed your place?

is your group gonna be alright?

its fine
we’ll manage something

you’ll manage something? how!?

p14
mimi maru

could I borrow the Johnsons ring?

sure…

don’t tell anyone

but could you train with me?

p15
we’ll manage…I’LL manage

what

of course I will stupid!

you’re coming back hanyuu!?

well, you know…

its ok you don’t have to tell me!! you’re getting ready to enter the ring again right!!

leave it to me!!

whoa keep your voice down!

just so you know, I wont go easy on you

today, after school then!!

p16
I need to find out…how well my body can move

everyone just left on a tour today so its all ours

so much space
that ring is beautiful

yeah, cause we redid the place last year

theres no one here so go ahead and change wherever

the machines are new as well…

magokoro wrestling is nowhere near this

we cant even practice there now

p17
and its my fault

lets go hanyuu

yeah

lets start

for today, should we just break a bit of a sweat?

p18
all out.

hrah!

p19
damn

dizzy….

haa!

p20

you little…

p21

p22
hanyuu
you…

just who are you planning on fighting?

p23

you aren’t
trying to fight in another ring are you?

some place you cant talk about?

are you…are you crazy?

what are you thinking?

don’t do it!!

I knew that I was the poster girl for magokoro wrestling

but I always lost on purpose
ive never fought for real

I never once thought about the fans who were coming to see me either

“I wanted to fill

the hole you left behind”

I stopped wrestling
and put everyone in a really bad position

when I saw that room of shigematsu’s, I realized

“cause I’m your number one fan”

p25
the crazy amount of posters cramming the walls

they were all telling me to keep fighting

i…

if I don’t do something, then…

you know, you’re kinda…

lacking in pro sense, I mean…
you’re slow to catch on to things sometimes you know…

p26
well I wont say anymore
but

try to stay out of dangerous situations, ok?

yes
ill be fine!!

thank you mimi maru!!

……

that incompetence is just too cute
it pains me

huh?

cute? whos cute?

you annoy me so I wont tell you

hey wait-

caught you off guard!

p27
MATSURI CHAN~
WHERE’D THAT BRUISE COME FROM

I fell down

really? it wasn’t a violent incident?
its nothing newsworthy!?

no no, I just fell off my bike!

I feel too weird ever since the other day

I cant look at shigematsu’s face

p28

hanyuu!!

I wanna talk to you

you’ve been acting really weird lately

what do you mean
im in a hurry so tell me some other time

hey wait
come on!

hanyuu!!

p29
im probably going somewhere where I really shouldn’t be

but

theres no other choice
if im gonna do anything about our messed up gym

*ring*

*ring*

“hello”

oh
hello

30
um

I’m

“hm?”

“oh youre that girl from the other night“

“made up your mind yet?”

“actually, we’re just starting up again today”

“come on over now, I’ll give you the address”
“it’s a huge building, so you cant miss it”

shit

my knees are shaking

hanyuu

I consider you my one and only rival

p31

so the cost of todays practice

pay it back to me in an official fight

show me a real match

am I strong or not

I don’t know

that’s the building

p32
hey

I got masao to talk and tell me where you were going

even If I tell you not to go
you’re going anyway aren’t you?

shigematsu…

I’m going too

I’ll go with you anywhere

p33

because I’m your number one fan you know
