Teppu 1

I could've sworn I posted this already, but I can't find it under my archives... and it took me 3 days 2 realize that too :p anway, here it is:

b3) I like you...

page 2

b1) Hell no.
box) Ishidou Natsuo
b2) I don't want to go out with a guy shorter than me.
panel) The one looking up to this big girl, is him. // This absolute boredom is about to kill me.

b1) Is there a point in taping your fingers?
b2) I dont think this will help protect your fingers...
b3) In my case, its not like my hands will get rough.
b4) Then why are you wrapping them?
b5) Hm?
b6) Because I'll seem arrogant.
b7) I have to at least look // as if I'm trying...

box1) For as long as I can remember, I could do anything I tried.
box2) Even if I didn't have a lot of technical know-how, I would get the feel for it, and just do it.

page 7

box1) And I thought that's the way it was supposed to be.
box2) I also thought that everyone else was the same way.
box3) That's why when I could easily do things but the people around me couldn't,
box4) I couldn't help but asking:
box5) "You can't do that?"

page 8

box1) By the time I realized this is what they call 'talent',
box2) The word boredom had found a nice cozy home in me.
box3) However, it wasn't really boredom,
box4) it was loneliness.

page 9

box1) To those people who try hard, they'll never understand this
box2) loneliness.

b6) Really? // So, what's the martial arts club?

page 13

b1) You know there's MMA, you can either strike or grapple...

b2) It'll just become a regular boxing match.
b3) I'm fine with no protectors...
b4) At least put the headgear on...
b5) No need.
b6) With the difference in body size, // none of your attacks will reach my face.
b7) That's not true.
b8) hehhh...

page 25
