Medaka Box 19

this is for Imangascans.
Some bad news, Gomenasai will no longer translate this series. Serious family matters has forced him to leave his job here and go back home to his parents. Where his parents live is VERY rural, in fact a dead zone. He says he'll pop in every now and then, mostly to make fun of me I bet, and maybe do like a bi-monthly or something. anyway what that means is you guys get another series done by me... oh stop whining! (c; And no more periodical updates of Kohinata. Now onto what you've all been waiting for:


page 1

panel) A normal afternoon?
b1) hm?
b2) Hyuuga, what's wrong?
b3) I think I heard something like an explosion from that direction...
b4) That direction... you mean from where the student council is?
b5) If that's the case, it must be something the president did again. // Look, there's smoke.
b6) Oh yeah, that's right! // That's where the student council is.
b7) That's right! // There's no reason whatsoever to be surprised!

page 2

b1) You know the saying,
b2) Same shit different day.
panel) How is THIS the same!?
black bubbles) crumble.
title) Kurokami Medaka's 4th trump card.
bubble sfx.1,2) crackle

page 3

b1) keh!
b2) The enforcers best clothing "Snow White". // It was recently made by scientists who sewed in anti-heat materials and is able to stand up to high heat levels and high impact.
b3) It's even used by deep sea divers and such... // but it's really heavy and hard to move in.
b4) But still...

page 4

b1) There's a lot less damage than I thought there would be.
b2) Well, it's not like I was trying to destroy the whole school. // And it's actually a good thing I didn't blow off this entire wing.
panel1) A dud!? // No way, I'm the one who made these, so that's not possible... then?
b3) Stop plea...
panel2) Oh, I get it. // That girl splashed the water that was in the vase all around. // She wet some of the gunpowder before they went off.
b4) If gunpowder gets a little wet, it's useless.

page 5

b1) And the window looks unnaturally broken.
b2) Based on the shards, it was broken before the blast went off.
b3) I guess she kicked quite a few out before they could explode.
b4) Man she's clever and smart!
b5) It's hard to believe she did all that in the little time she had.
black bubble) crack
b6) Well, it's not like that matters.
b7) She was going to fail regardless.

page 7

b1) What... // the!!?
panel1) All 4 of them are safe!!? // Well, you can't really call them safe, but this isn't funny!! // I was really risking my life out here!!
b2) Kurokami!!
b3) What the hell did you do!!?
b4) It's really simple actually.
b5) The thing that's really scary about an explosion isn't the heat, but the wind force. // That's why I forced these 3 into the lockers.
b6) But it wouldn't have meant anything if the door swung open, // so I remained outside.
-Yeah, this is from Batman. Batman got locked in a bank with a huge bomb set by the Riddler. All the shutters' were down, the main safe was locked, and time was running out. Batman locked himself in one of the small computer desk sized safes and lived.-

page 8

panel1) You called it simple, but it wasn't simple at all!! // Damn, just how did you do in that short amount of time!!? // And you had to remain outside!? Then that means that you alone were caught up in the blast! // It destroyed an entire room! Are you insane!?
panel2) If you can do that much, if you wanted to save yourself, you had plenty of ways to do it...
b1) Kekekeke! // That's really amazing! You're saintly actions make me sick.
b2) Your unwavering faith has moved me a little!!
b3) kekeke! So now we're back at square 1. // Even after all this, you'll still say there isn't a reason to fight back right?
b4) No one on either side got hurt, so case closed. // A nice and neat happy ending right.

page 9

b1) shut up
b2) How pathetic.
b3) I'm sure you were once a pretty boy walking down the right path once. // And I can only think of something really painful happening to you that made you end up like this.

page 10

b1) HOWEVER!! // EVEN IF THAT'S THE CASE...

page 11

b1) YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS!!!

page 12

panel) Wha!? I-I'm scared!? ME!? // She only glared at me! It's nothing more than a normal threat! // But I still reeled back instinctively!
b1) Junior Unzen, you're right,
b2) The two of us are alike.

page 13

b1) I'm just like you in the fact that,
b2) I don't think I'm always right. // In fact I never have.
b3) Wasn't there a better way? // Did I actually do anything to help them? // Did I actually think of every possibility?
b4) Did I belittle someone's suffering? // Did I simply step over something I didn't notice? // Has helping people become a simple routine?
b5) I'm always questioning myself, // I'm always scared.

page 14

b1) I'm never right!
b2) However, // I actually try to be right!!
-except for the tattered clothes, she looks like a Chidori that's ready to kill Sousuke-

page 15

b1) I don't get what you're getting at.
b2) You're not making any sense.
b3) You don't understand?
b4) What I'm saying is I don't have a strong unwavering faith like you keep saying.
b5) At the very least,
b6) I don't have the kind of faith in anything that would put my friends in danger!!
b7) You said my saintly act makes you sick?
b8) huh, junior Unzen?

page 16

b1) Fine then, let me disappoint you!
b2) I'll let myself fall to anger and go wild. // I'll show you that I'm the same stupid human as you are!!
b3) Hitoyoshi-kun, // how long has it been since Medaka-san went into that state?
b4) The summer of our 7th grade. // So that would make it 3 years ago.
-for those who don't know, in japan it's 3 years of middle school, and 3 of high school.-
b5) Is that it. // Yeah, I guess.
b6) At that time, I also thought of Medaka-san // as nothing more than your model robot citizen.
b7,8) haa
b9) Kurokami Medaka's trump card
b0) number 4.
b11) Perses mode!
b12) Now that she's like this, even I can't stop her. // You're finished now Unzen.

page 17

b1) Kekeke!
b2) Don't call the fight if I'm still standing, // fool!
b3) Whether its Perses or Kali!
b4) When facing an erupting volcano, they're all ash!!

page 19

panel) The first time she's seriously angry! And serious punch!!
b1) You said your clothes can stand up to just about anything right.
b2) I'm glad you said all that.
black bubbles) khaack
b3) That means that it should be able to hold up to 3 hits of mine. // Even if I hit with all my strength!!
