b6) Also fighters from overseas are coming making this a world wide tournament!!

page 9

b1) That's right!! This tournament will crown the world's strongest woman!!
b2) And its taking place here in Japan!!
box1) Natsuo's first thoughts were:
box2) What the hell is this?
box3) Or to be more exact, this was totally out of her interests.
b3) Did mom leave me any rice? Or do I need to make my own?
box4) She thought of it as a different world with no connection to her own. // All she got out of it was "I don't konw what's going on, but that looks really wierd".

page 10

b1) Now let me introduce a special guest!!
b2) The genius fighter girl who entered into this tournament at only 16 years old!

b6) That's correct!
b7) And she's the daughter of the legendary fighter of 500 fights, no losses Mario Cordeiro!!

page 12

b1) Of course her abilities are certified.
b2) In her home country of Brazil, she's the super star who's beaten boys in the amateur MMA tournamnents that she's won.
b3) Yeah right...
panel) Don't just make things up.
b4) There's no way that's possible.
b5) Are you kidding me? No one's going to believe that!
b6) Huh, you don't believe it!?
b7) Then lets have a special show of just how strong Ringi-chan is!!
b8) We have another special guest on our show today!!

page 13

b1) The former martial artist who's rise to the top was as quick as his decision to call it quits, Takenaka Risuke-san.
b2) When you hear Takenaka, you usually think of last years martial arts event "King's", where in the welter weight class he became the leading Japanese fighter.
b3) Even overseas, his evaluation was pretty high, especially his grapple moves, which got him the nickname of 'magician'.
b4) Even though you've retired, you still keep training right?
b5) Yes I do... actually, I'm in better condition now than when I was still active.

page 14

b1) Yamaguchi-san, correct me if I'm wrong but...
b2) Yes, Its exactly as you're thinking.
b3) He's going to spar with Ringi-chan right here!
b4) Oh!!
b5) Well, we do have hands-on learning with the girls at the gym, but...
b6) In front of the cameras, and with such a cute girl, I'm getting nervous about this spar.
b7) And truthfully, I'd rather fight her father.

page 15

b1) Oh, it seems like Takenaka's fighting spirit is boiling over isn't it...
b2) Hey, I'm strong too!
b3) I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
b4) Then I'll happily take you on in the spar that was setup so nicely for us.
b5) Go easy on me please Ringi-chan.

page 16

b1) Let's both do our best!!
b2) haha, you japanese is pretty good -small print- although you're a little off.
b3) Their spar will begin after a word from our sponsors!!

page 17

box1) At this point, she still hadn't made her decision.
box2) However, the atmosphere she has about her is the same like that Mawatari Yuzuko. // And of course this mad Natsuo get mad.
panel) You might even be a good match for Ringi.
box3) No way... and, maybe... // If [I[that's the Ringi she mentioned...
box4) Frankly, a threatening feeling, and, for some reason, a feeling of 'you'll pay' was rising at the same time.
box5) But there was no way she'd ever admit that it was jealousy.

page 18

box1) If it really was 'jealousy',
box2) I'd only say that after I saw her abilities.
b1) You're not going to take off your glasses?
panel) and what's with that hairstyle?

page 19

b1) hm?
b2) You're not doing 'pohada' right?
b3) Poha...? // Oh, you mean strikes! Well, I do plan on only grappling...
b4) This is being aired, so I want to look my best!
b5) Hmmm. // Well, I guess its alright.
b6) Well, there aren't any lenses in there anyway.

page 20

b1) Hm, it looks like Ringi-chan wants to fight with her glasses on.
b2) I guess she's at that age.
b3) You're taking her too lightly.
b4) Now, the words we've all been waiting for:
b5) Begin!!

page 21

b1) Muay Thai?

page 24

b1) Argh!!

page 25

b1) hmph
b2) oh...

page 26, 27

b1) Wasn't Takenaka-san just off the mat for a second?
b2) Yeah.. a little.
b3) But he weighs 80kg (176lbs).
panel) What was that kick?
b4) oww...
b5) No way!! This is bad...
b6) ...haha. You surprised me, I never thought you'd kick me like that..

page 28

b1) Ah...
b2) Its called uh...
b3) What was it again?
b4) Yo-su? No...
b5) Oh yeah!! Constraint!!
b6) Are you kidding me!?
b7) tsk

page 29

b1) I'm actually not very good with grapples...
b2) If you do catch me, I'll definitely lose here.
b3) Is that so?
b4) But if you have likes and dislikes like that, you wont be able to survive in this world.
b5) Really?
b6) Yes really.

page 30

panel) That was too quick...
b1) I told you, you were taking her too lightly.

b1) Although its the sequel...
bubble sfx. whole page) tick, tick
b2) The author of this book was born 13 years before Floyd.
b3) He was further ahead in terms of psychology than Floyd.
b4) This man turned his interior, awareness into a nice flow,
b5) and has left it for those of us after him in the form of a book.
b6) In his work, a line like this exists...

page 36

b1) "For people to continue living, 3 things are needed".
bubble sfx.) plop
b2) "1 is to be kind, 2 is to be kind".
b3) "And 3 is to be kind."
b4) Considering each word by itself might be interesting.
b5) Now then, lets start reading from page 53.

page 37

sign) Martial Arts Dojo II

page 38

b1) Unfortunately,
b2) Both our advisor Kanno-sensei, and the captain Sawamura are both out today.
b3) Were you hoping to join?

page 39

b1) No...
b2) I came here today knowing the teacher wouldn't be here.
b3) But it was my mistake not knowing that Sawamura-senpai was also out.
b4) She was asking you what you came here for!!
b5) Its nothing big.
b6) Just...
b7) I thought I'd have Sanae practice a little with me...

page 40

b1) It feels like I've my body hasn't been moving like I want it to lately.
b2) So I thought I'd try to get the feeling back...
b3) And to get that feeling back,
b4) only capt. Sawamura is qualified?
b5) yeah.
b6) From what I see, the rest of you suck.

page 41

b1) Ganeko-san...
b2) Ishidou!!

page 42

b1) You're not going to hit me!?
b2) Ishidou-san was it? You don't look like a beginer, but
b3) if you keep up that attitude, you'll end up getting hurt.

page 43

b1) Even though she didn't hit me?
b2) Ganeko, make sure you don't kill her.

page 44

b1) You get pretty cold doing this barefoot.
b2) fufu

page 45

box1) Right now, // the person who knows about what happened in Sawamura's past,
box2) Is this girl Ganeko Mai only.
box3) Everybody thought of this girl who refused both proper dojo clothing, and protectors,
box4) as some girl who was enacting a dojo hunt.
box5) An idiot.
box6) She looks pretty strong, but that's as far as it goes, pretty strong. Everybody thought the same thing, and she'd be crying soon enough...

page 46

b1) I'll hit you this time.
b2) You legs, // your stomach...
b3) Even your face, no one will complain. // I'll throw everything at you!!
box1) One question.
box2) The way she came in here and riled everyone up... It doesn't look its the first time she's done this. // But this looks more like hate...

page 47

b1) Suigetsu...

panel) She's showing her fangs. All to fight against them
b4) I've still got a ways to go.
