Lucky Star 28

Double-check translation before putting it on your scanlation. I will not be responsible if any mistakes are made. The numbering of this Lucky Star chapter is based not on the actual page number from the tank I got this from. I number it in a way where in the start of a new chapter, the page number goes back to 1. But to make life easier (and to confuse you for a bit), I also added the page number for the raws found here on MangaHelpers.

Please do report any mistranslations to me. I'm learning the language and I would be very happy to correct my mistakes.

Episode 28
The Year Begins

Left Panel
Relative

This is Izumi.
Ah, Konata? I’m writing new year cards right now, but aren’t you mourning and not accepting cards?
(though I didn’t get a letter about it…)

Hm? Not really. Where did that come from?
Well, didn’t you have a death in the family?

Uhm…

Ah, yeah… but it’s okay.
Don’t tell me… that was another one of your manga tricks?!

Right Panel
Means of Escape

What are you doing right now?
I’m in the middle of cleaning.
I see… then I won’t keep you long. I’m hanging up.

SFX = click

When there’s nothing to do, you suddenly feel like cleaning.
But when you actually do it, why does it feel like it’s a pain?
(Konata, don’t rest too much, okay?)

Left Panel
Aim

First shrine visit---
Kagami! Tsukasa! Happy new year!
Oh.

Kona-chan, happy new year!
It’s pretty cold, I thought you wouldn’t bother coming.
Well, that’s true, but… (shrine maiden outfits!)

Since it’s a new year, I thought that maybe I should pray for this coming year.
Oh, that’s admirable.

That’s what dad said. (I was just sitting in the kotatsu.)
SFX = hello!
(Happy New Year!)
I’m suddenly disturbed!

Right Panel
Praying

What did you guys pray for?
That’s right… Nee-chan, you were doing some pretty intense praying, huh?
Stu- you’re saying unnecessary things again…

I- I was just hoping that I could be in the same class as you and Miyuki this year.
(It wasn’t that intense!)
Hmm~
What about Kona-chan?

Kagami, you’re actually pretty cute. (Your attitude’s like that again…)
Shut up! It’s because you always make fun of me that I never want to tell you! (is there something wrong with that?!)

Left Panel
Different Forms

You’re always in a different class, Nee-chan.
I wonder if Kuroi-sensei hates me…

I’ll pray to be in the same class as you too.
Tsukasa…

No, no. We need Kagami to be in a different class.
Arrow: shocked inside
Wh- why?!

Because… if I forget something, I can borrow from you… and they won’t find out if I copy homework.
(If you’re in my class, my rank will go down.)
Then you alone should be in a different class!
High school girls are nice… (they’re so lively)
