Kuroko no Basket 19

Third place in the TOC, the first volume sold out, next chapter has color pages... This is madness! Finally a manga that becomes popular while I translate it! \o/ On another note, I'll probably translate the one-shot by Murata, Blust, sometimes during the week. Since there's no Jump next week, this'll leave me a bit of time~

In the meantime, enjoy~

Top : This healthy young man, could he be...
Announcer : Next, the morning show's horoscope!!

Kasamatsu : …? What are you watching?
Kise : A recording of today's morning show.
Kise : Because of all the roadwork lately I haven't been able to watch it.

Kasamatsu : You really became serious lately, before you kept skipping it.
Kise : Well, the training at our school goes too far...
Kasamatsu : Don't get cocky! I'll kick you!
Kise : Ouch!

Kasamatsu : Since when are you watching the morning show anyway?
Kise : Only today, since Midorimacchi plays better if his horoscope is good.

Kasamatsu : Aah, that guy from Teikou.
Kasamatsu : What's his sign?
Announcer : Let's begin by the signs with the best and worst luck today...
Kise : Cancer! For the record, Kurokocchi is Aquarius...
Kasamatsu : I haven't asked you that.

Announcer : The top sign is Cancer!! Congratulations, you'll have nothing to complain about today!
Announcer : … The sign with the worst luck is Aquarius. It's a shame, but you should keep a low profile today...
Kise : Geh...
Kasamatsu : What?

Kise : It's the worst...

Middle : Aiming for a faraway crown... The greatest challenge of Seirin is beginning!

Hyuuga : you're not looking at the right opponent, moron.
Kagami : Ouch!!

Hyuuga : If you get ahead of yourself and we lose in the next match, you'll be just an idiot!
Kagami : I was just watching them a bit! Really!
Kagami : I'm properly focusing on the next opponent.

Page 06

Kagami : … But what are those guys...?
Kagami : it's true that there's some kind of air about them, but...
Kagami : it's completely different than with Shuutoku...!?

Page 07

Guy : But Seihou... They're more normal than I expected...
Guy : There aren't really tall players there, huh?

Riko : Well yeah, they might have small builds for a team at the national level.
Riko : The tallest one is the captain, Iwamura-kun, at 187cm.

Guy : About the same as Mitobe-senpai...? That's quite...
#4 Center 187cm
Iwamura Tsutomu
Guy : Fat!? Isn't he huge for this size!?
Guy : He seems incredibly powerful!

Riko : And the control tower Kasuga-kun...
Riko : Those two third years are the pillars of the team.
#5 Point Guard 179cm
Kasuga Ryuuhei

Tsugawa : Aah, you're Kagami-kun, right?

Page 08

Tsugawa : Waah, your hair is really red!
Shirt : Seihou
Tsugawa : Scaryyy!

Kagami : Huh?
Kagami : This guy...

Tsugawa : Captain! It's the guy you talked about, right?
Tsugawa : When you said that Seirin was super weak
Tsugawa : but only one guy was incredibly strong.

Riko : Hoho... What nice things is he saying, that shitty brat...

Hyuuga : Why are you always picking a fight with the other school!
Hyuuga (small text) : Haa!!
Kagami (small text) : I didn't do anything today!

Page 09

Iwamura : Stop jumping around, you moron.
Tsugawa : Ouch!

Iwamura : Sorry, this guy can't read between lines.
Iwamura : He always immediately says what he really thinks.

Hyuuga : There's no need for you to apologize
Hyuuga : Since we'll be the ones winning.
Hyuuga : If you look down on us like last year, you'll end up crying.

Iwamura : That won't happen.
Iwamura : … And we weren't looking down on you.
Iwamura : You were just weak.
Iwamura : Only that.

Tsugawa : Wait... Eeh...
Tsugawa : Captain, didn't you just said it clearly too?
Iwamura : Idiot, I just hate beating around the bush.

Sign : Seihou high – Changing room

Page 10

Iwamura : How is it, Kasuga?
Iwamura : Your impression about these guys.

Kasuga : the upperclassmen seem to have improved.
Kasuga : And we might need to be careful about that freshman, Kagami.

Iwamura : Then since they're both freshmen, we'll leave Kagami to Tsugawa.
Iwamura : As you are right now, you can stop anyone, right?

Tsugawa : Yay! Great!
Tsugawa : I'm looking forward to it!

Page 11

Iwamura : Waah, Tsugawa is smiling...
Iwamura : Actually, you could search all over the world, you wouldn't find another guy like you
Iwamura : who's smiling when playing defense...

Sign : Seirin high – Changing room

Riko : Hmm...
Riko : Everyone is a bit tensed after all...

Page 12

Riko : All of you are a bit too psyched up about it...
Riko : So I've thought of a reward that'll lighten all of you up!

Riko : If you win the next match...
Top : Ufu ♥
Riko : I'll give all of you a kiss on the cheek! How about that!!

Izuki : What's with the “Ufu ♥”...
Koganei : And the star when you're winking, it's no good, you know...

Hyuuga : Morons, you could at least act happy even if you have to force yourselves to!
Arrow : Finishing blow

Riko : … fu
Riko : Fufufu

Page 13

Riko : So you won't get it if I don't say it clearly, retards!!
Riko : We're here to make them pay for last year, right, aaah!?
Riko : With one year of interests, they owe us a damn lot, koraaa!!!

Hyuuga : Sorry, sorry.
Hyuuga (small text) : kukuku
Hyuuga : We know that.

Hyuuga : … Alright!!

Hyuuga : before we go, I'll say it again.
Hyuuga : You'll know it as soon as the match begin, but
Hyuuga : A year has already passed since then.

Page 14

Hyuuga : Seihou is strong!
Hyuuga : Honestly, after our crushing defeat last year, we came to hate basketball.
Hyuuga : Just a bit more and I would have probably give up.

Hyuuga : Wah! Don't be depressed! Recover! Fire up!
Hyuuga : Actually, it's something to be happy about!

Hyuuga : It definitely won't become the same thing as last year.
Hyuuga : I'm at the point where I truly believe that, because
Hyuuga : I have faith that we became stronger!

Page 15

Hyuuga : The only thing left is to win!
Hyuuga : Let's go!
Everyone : Yeah!!!

Kagami : ? What's wrong?
Kuroko : … Kagami-kun.

Kuroko : Was there a time when you hated basketball?
Kagami : Ha...?

Kagami : Well...
Kagami : No, I guess not...

Kuroko : For me... There was.
Kuroko : I think the reason was different, but...
Kuroko : I understand the feeling.

Kuroko : They look cheerful right now, but
Kuroko : When you come to hate something you like, it is incredibly painful.

Page 16

Kuroko : When I talked to Midorima-kun, I said that the past and the future were different things, but
Kuroko : They are not completely separated from each other.

Kuroko : I think that this match is an important match for our senpais
Kuroko : so that they can overcome their past.

Kuroko : That is why...

Announcer : From now on, the first semi-final of the block A
Announcer : between Seirin high and Seihou high is about to begin.

Page 17

Nothing.

Page 18

Kagami : I've never hated basketball, so
Kagami : I don't understand everything, but...

Kagami : I understand at least the last thing he said.
Kuroko : That is why... It made me realize again.

Riko : Well.. here we go!
Riko : Two frantic battles in a row against the kings!
Riko : the first king is Seihou!!

Page 19

Kuroko : I definitely want...
Kuroko : To win this match.

Someone : Ooh!
Left : The battle begins!!

Bottom : Next issue, the battle begins in color as a thanks for the huge popularity!! What is the strength that Seihou is hiding!?
