Pg.4
Characters Introduction
Kuwata Heisuke – He’s strong but hates boxing! A pervert too! A new type of hero.
Minakami Umi – As strong as a boy! She’s not good at girlish things, though. A cute heroine.
The bustling Minakami family – The indecent Akari nee-chan, cheerful mom, and the high-spirited Shijimi-chan.
(Sign: I’m the mom!)

Pg.5
Himeno Michiya – A wolf in search of a strong rival.
Aizawa Hiromi – A stubborn woman who likes to mess around with guys.

The story so far:
The greatest pervert ever, Kuwata Heisuke, hates boxing. To escape his father who forced him to train in boxing and fulfil his father’s dream, Heisuke transferred into Ichijou High. He stayed in the Minakami family household and was free from boxing at last.

Heisuke’s boxing free days didn’t last very long, however. The Minakami family’s second daughter, Umi, loves boxing. Heisuke, in order to get a kiss from Umi, fought with the ace of the boxing club, Aso, in the boxing ring, and he knocked Aso out. Umi, surprised by Heisuke’s strength, used herself as bait and finally got Heisuke to join the boxing team.

The final round of the Inter-High Preliminaries finally started. Even though Heisuke was fighting fiercely for Umi’s and Hiromi’s virginities, Himeno wasn’t an opponent that could be knocked down so easily! In the middle of Heisuke’s battle of attrition, suddenly the terrifying training that his father had ingrained into him surfaced from the depths of his mind. The unconscious Heisuke who threw punches relentlessly finally KO’d Himeno!

[Need Jap raw check for names and for the detail below…]
Hanayashiki Ryuuta – Yuka’s older brother, Inter-High Competition Osaka representative.
Hanayashiki Yuka – A girl who [Check accuracy here, plox.] sympathizes for Heisuke at the first sight.

4. Heisuke, I’ve just got a boyfriend, and you want me to be unfaithful to him?
5. Didn’t you say that you hated Himeno the most?

Pg.24
1. Himeno says I’m a lot more open now as well.
2. Sfx above her head: Kyahahahahahahahahahaha (until it gets blocked by the bubble…)
3. Maybe he has liked me since back then. Shishi, Himeno just likes to act tough.

4. Ah, Onee-san.
5. Looks like you’ve been ditched. (Sfx to her left: Oho---)
6. It’s all that girl’s fault.
7. Just give up.

Pg.26
1. Unless there was some sort of promise between the two of you that you can’t forget? (Text next to her head: Heisuke?)
2. I just heard that there was some kind of promise.
3. ……
4. Tell me what that promise was. It’s got something to do with Umi, right?
5. About that…
6. [Text between panels: Sound of Tarako (I’m joking!)] TN note for the above: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarako_(food) Also may or may not be referring to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vZjchJ89_w

8. Just tell me…
9. Uu…
10. Ooo------
11. If you want to touch them, just touch them!
12. Just tell me!
13. O-Okay!

Pg.27
1. (The tiny weeny sfx next to Himeno and…the onee-san in the first panel is obviously [Whisper Whisper] even though I can’t see it.)
2. What—?! You made that kind of promise?
3. Nicely done!
4. But in the end I still ended up losing.
5. (Text between panels: How long are you going to keep laughing for?)
6. Then why are you so depressed?
7. Doesn’t the promise with Umi still stand?
8. Ah!
9. Leave this to me!
10. I will show you how to attack!
11. Thank you, Onee-san!
12. That’s right…
13. The promise with Umi still stands!

Pg.28
1. Asari, did you tell Heisuke and them?
2. About everyone having a celebration feast together?
3. Of course.
4. Mom, I’m hungry!
5. Maybe they’ve gotten lost…
6. There’s no helping it. Let’s eat first.
7. You should thank me, Umi. You’ll lose your viginity eventually anyway…

Pg.29
1. Heisuke.
2. Hey!
3. After we left the tournament, he hasn’t said anything at all.
4. He must be really depressed after being ditched by Hiromi…
5. Maybe he’ll just keep being like this and forget about our promise…
6. What if I test him…?
7. Heisuke,
8. do you still remember your promise with everyone?

Pg.30
1. Didn’t you say that you would enter the Inter-High with everyone?
2. Everyone is very thankful to you.
3. ……
4. Suddenly saying the word promise, it nearly scared me to death…
5. Anyway, right now I mustn’t act rashly.
6. That was so dangerous…
7. If she gets on guard, I’m totally screwed.
8. Endure it, endure it.
9. Even though it is somewhat unbelievable, seems like he really forgot about it.
10. This way I guess I won’t have to worry about it for now…

Pg.31
1. We’re home~
2. Is there nobody at home?
3. Mom------
4. Very good, we’re home!
5. They should have arrived…
6. Heisuke, why don’t you go take a hot shower first?
7. You must be tired after those matches, right?
8. Eh?
9. Okay.

Pg.32
1. Ah, it’s so hot!
2. It hurts when it gets inside the wounds.
3. It’s finally here.
4. This is my chance to become a man.
5. Even though I said that,
6. what should I do when I start?
7. It’s the first time for the both of us. Will we actually succeed?
8. If I’m afraid of defeat, how can I ever achieve anything great?!
9. I’ve already spent that much time researching. I’ll definitely be fine!
10. It’s the first time for her as well, right?
11. Yeah…

Pg.33
1. They really didn’t come back…
2. There must be some sort of problem, there must be!
3. Phew---
4. I have this bad feeling.
5. Umi, you why don’t you take a shower?
6. It feels great.
7. Eh?
8. I-I didn’t sweat at all!

[Chunk on the side]

About Himeno’s return into the ring…

Although Himeno was defeated in the previous chapter, and became lovers with Hiromi, but I’ve already felt that he would step into the ring once again.

So that’s why I will tell everybody here clearly that Himeno will definitely reappear! And it won’t be on the small stage of the Inter-high. I will create a much larger stage to welcome him back (although I hope this manga will be able to continue until then).

What will happen to these two afterwards? When will Himeno return? I can only reveal two words: “The Finals”. The rest will have to be a secret!

Anyway, Himeno will always be Heisuke’s rival. He won’t just vanish this easily. Whether or not they will trade punches again, he is the man that will make Heisuke continue to work hard at boxing.

Pg.34
1. ……
2. ……
3. What should I say?
4. Say something! Otherwise it’s so awkward.
5. She turned her head away, it’s a chance!
6. He’s thinking about stuff.
7. He must be thinking about that…
8. You guys, please hurry up and come back…
9. I guess it’s time to go on the offense.
10. Do you want to watch TV?
11. Hm?
12. Wah!
13. Okay…

Pg.35
1. Not good.
2. I should change to another channel. (text between panels: That is Tokyo-S’s romance drama.)
3. No, my heart’s not ready yet.
4. It’s okay, I can’t hold back anymore!
5. …
6. Dammit.
7. Why are they all this kind of show?
8. I’m already at my limit!
9. I can’t hold back anymore!
10. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
11. Stop that, Stupid!
12. Ouch!
13. Crap…
14. I acted too fast.

Pg.36
1. So dangerous…
2. I really can’t be careless.
3. I’m really stupid to have believed him.
4. Whenever there’s nobody else at home, he tries to do indecent stuff to me…
5. Unless… That guy knows that nobody else is going to come?
6. Yes, it’s possible.
7. If he didn’t know, he wouldn’t have done that sort of thing in the living room.
8. Because if anyone comes back, they will see…

Pg.37
1. Just what kind of guy is he?
2. I really am getting more and more confused.
3. Sometime I feel like he’s just a pervert,
4. but other times he feels like a good guy.
5. If he wasn’t so horny, I’d like him as well…
6. ……
7. Like him?
8. No! Definitely not!
9. What am I saying?
10. Right now the most important thing is how to survive this crisis.
11. That guy still remembers our promise.

Pg.38
1. I failed.
2. I need to create a new plan.
3. If you deal with a pure girl in a round-about manner, it will instead create an opposite effect.
4. What you should say in this situation is “I like you”.
5. You must first capture her heart and then take action, so that’s what I need to do.
6. (Magazine: Left page: Must-know tricks Right Page: Vertical: How to get a girl [There are two more testimonies saying A boy did this or something, but it’s too small to see.])
7. That’s it!
8. And then I’ve got to use my secret move.
9. Onee-san told me where the spare key to Umi’s room was hidden!

Pg.39
1. If he really dares to ambush me,
2. I’ll never forgive him.
3. Ah…
4. He’s not here anymore.
5. He must have returned to his own room, right?
6. But will that guy give up this easily?
7. Eh? It’s not locked?
8. Hei--suke!?

Pg.40
1. How did you get into my room?
2. Get… Get out!
3. Umi…
4. I’m really sorry for what I did before.
5. Eh?
6. I never thought about how you felt.
7. But, didn’t we promise each other?
8. What?!

Pg.41
1. This is so strange!
2. Heisuke isn’t usually like this!
3. Promise? That was just a joke!
4. I…
5. So you were just messing with me?
6. But I like you!
7. I honestly, like you!

Pg.42
1. ……
2. I wasn’t fighting for the promise,
3. I was fighting for you!
4. ……
5. If you don’t believe me, then just forget it.
6. He… He likes me?
7. It can’t be, right? He must be lying.
8. Is he telling the truth?
9. But… He has never talked to me like that!

Pg.43
1. This…
2. It’s too sudden, I…
3. Eh?
4. It seems this tactic was effective.
5. No, I can’t drool.
6. *cough*
7. The serious face that took me so much effort to put on will vanish.
8. But… We’re only high school students…
9. What… What am I saying?
10. Ah
11. Umi!

Pg.44-45
1. Ah!
2. Strange! Why would I…
3. No…
4. Wait a second, Heisuke.
5. Please.
6. I just want to ask you one thing.
7. Do you… Do you really like me?
8. If I didn’t like you, why would I want to hug you?

Pg.46
1. Ah…
2. Heisuke…
3. You can’t!
4. Uu!
5. I still can’t do it!

Pg.47
1. ……
2. I’m still afraid!
3. Dammit, it seems like it won’t work even if I push a little more? (Tiny text: So pissed off)
4. It’s also my first time, so I’m scared as well.
5. I’m serious.
6. ……

Pg.48
1. Umi~~~~~
2. This is great! There’s definitely no problem this time.
3. It’s… It’s great to be alive!
4. I wonder how the situation is?
5. They still haven’t come…
6. Should we go home?

Pg.49
This is the art corner. It’s irrelevant, I refuse >_> Sooo much text.
