Hajimete No Aku 23

Has anyone ever tried to translate to a continuous loop of Rodeo Carrborrator, Thee Michelle gun elephant, and Sui's akairo dance hall? It's damn near impossible without a mandatory 3 minute air guitar break.

HAJIMETE NO AKU.

Kyouko: Jiro!!

(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmble)

Kyouko: Why the heck did you put these ears on my glasses?!

(Sfx- Gugigigigigi grrrrrrrrrr)

Jiro: Heheheh, so you noticed my slight modification did you!

(Side text- The bothersome Jiro is about to meet another who opens peoples eyes....)

Jiro: Last chapter, I realized now that I have an part time job, I can get some rare and interesting things.

(Sfx- Hyuuu fwisssh)

Jiro: So I decided to begin my creation of your perfect body.

I'll experiment with these first and....BUGH?!

Kyouko: SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!

(Sfx- Dogka SMACK)

004

Kyouko: Change them back!! This is embarrassing!!

(Sfx- Gasu fwissh)

(Sfx- Gosu thud)

Jiro: Why?! The fanclub will adore you!!

How is this a problem?!

Aki: Here we go again...

Akuno's up to his funny business.

Yuki: But they're perfect for Kyouko-chan.

Midoritani: That's Jiro for you, he knows no fear.

Aki: Seems like this is getting to be habitual for them though.

Yuki: It's how they get along.

Midoritani: Looks kind of dangerous.

(Sfx- Wai wai)

???: Oh! Is that one of Akuno's inventions?

(Sfx- Pasha pasha fwash fwash)

Kyouko: Hm?

004

(Sfx- Pasha pasha fwash fwash)

Guy: Make sure you get the cat ears Tanabe-kun!

Tanabe: Of course.

Kyouko: Gaaaah?!?

???: And you're Akuno-kun, mad scientist of an evil organization I presume!

Jiro: Yes, that would be me.....what of it?

(Sfx- Pasha fwash)

???: Where are my manners? We're the newspaper club of Mitsbakeouka high!

And we'd like to request an interview with you! Akuno Jiro-kun!

(Sfx- Baaaan)

Jiro: An interview?

005

???: I'm the head of the newspaper club, Yamagawa! I'm in the 3rd year!

Tanabe: I'm part of the staff, 2nd year Tanabe.

Kyouko: I—I see.

And you want to interview Jiro?

Yamagawa: Yep! Akuno-kun's been the hot topic of the schoo lately!

So we'd like to include an article about him in our next publication!

Tanabe: Don't say too much, or the school might catch wind of it.

Yamagawa: Shh! I don't want them to know our true motives!

006

Jiro: Hm, an interview you say....

I'm not sure how you may of heard of our organization...

Kyouko: 'Cause you told them.

Jiro: But I suppose I have no other choice.

I will grant you vermin my glorious return!

Kyouko: Hey Jiro...?!

Wait, you wouldn't....!!

Jiro: This is the organization's uniform.

(Sfx- Pekaaa shiiine)

Yamagawaw: Oooh! Awesome!

Tanabe: Let me get a picture.

(Sfx- Pacha pacha fwash fwash)

(Sfx- Gaan thwok)

007

Kyouko: Why are you welcoming them?!

Jiro: Is there a reason for me not to?

Eiko: Oh? Jiro's got an interview?

(Sfx- Gacha clack)

Kyouko: Oneechan, should he do something like this?

What if he reveals secrets about the organization....

(Sfx- Gogogogogogogo rmmmmmmble)

Eiko: I'm Jiro's sister Eiko! I'm a supervisor! Isn't that neat?!

Jiro: Ah Sister, It's been a while since you became the shadow lady.

(Handwritten- Is this cosplay?)

(Handwritten- Oooh!)

Kyouko: Why are they so open with the press.....

(Handwritten- Is this good?)

Kyouko: Ah, I guess it's fine.

Nothing wrong with them being interested in Jiro I guess.

008

Yamagawa: I see! So you're based in Fukuoka?

Jiro: Yes. Our ansestors began a very well known and long standing villainous enterprise there.

Kyouko: Huh? I always thought you guys were the first generation?

Eiko: Not really! the battle of good versus evil has raged on for decades!

(Handwritten- Changed clothes.)

Eiko: We've been battling bravely across the Kantou region, leaving nothing but a destroyed battlefield in our wake....

(Handwritten- We throw our hearts into battle...)

Kyouko: You don't look that battle ready to me.

Tanabe: I've heard within Fukuoka, there are two other evil organizations with a base of operations being located in Kyuushuu.

Eiko: Wow! You really did your homework on us! Nice work!
Kyouko: There are other evil organizations?!

{Box: Large organization.)

(Right: North Kyuushuu district}

{Middle: Chikuhou District}

{Left: Hakata Fukuouka district}

{Bottom: Chikugo district)

{Bottom right box: Fukuoka Prefecture}

{Bottom middle box: Other organizations}

{Bottom left box: Kill them all.}

Yamagawa: Jiro-kun, what kind of evil acts were you responsible for?

Jiro: The manufacturing of evil devices.

009

Jiro: When it came to ensuring the success of a plot, my inventions were second to none!

Eiko: That is, when they worked properly.

Yamagawa: Hahah!!

It seems like the allies of justice in Kyuushuu were quite strong huh?

(Sfx- Bon bam)

Jiro: They are strong! Amazingly so!

(Sfx- Wai!)

Tanabe: But if they lost, you would have conquered the world.

Yamagawa: I'm sure glad those guys stopped you!

Eiko: True that!

Kyouko: Why are THEY so happy?

Well, I suppose it wouldn't be so bad, these villains are far from evil after all.

Yamagawa: Say, Is that cape one of your inventions?
I'd like to see how it's used.

Jiro: This is my Auto cape. It moves in accordance to my thoughts.

It's my most beloved work!

Yamagawa: I see...!

010

Kyouko: Eh?

Why me?

(Sfx- Baaan)

Yamagawa: It's always good to get the opinion of an outsider!

Tanabe: Plus we're really scared of it.

(Sfx- Pitsu flick)

Kyouko: You Paparazzi love to watch from the sides huh?

Well I guess it would be fun to try it once!

Jiro: Hmm...I never noticed how good that cape looks....

Now form an image in your mind to move it.

Kyouko: Okay. Moving...Moving....

Ah! I did it!

(Sfx- Niuuu fwip)

Kyouko: -Geh! Whoa!!

(Sfx- Sutenn doff)

011

Kyouko: What the....the balance sucks!!

Jiro: Well...I guess we should try something else then.

(Sfx- Pasha pasha fwash fwash)

Jiro: Oh I should add that the cape can move even when I'm at a distance.

Kyouko: Hm?

Jiro: Now, behold the Jiro crusher....

Though I have to try and be gentle with it's maneuvers....

(Sfx- Une fwp)

(Sfx- Guru twirl)

(Sfx- Une fwp)

(Sfx- Guru twirl)

Kyouko: Wh---Where are you touching?!? Gyahhh!!

Yamagawa: That's one awesome invention.

(Sfx- Gasu gasu gasu pound pound pound)

(Handwritten- Can I use it now?)

Jiro: Hahahah! Of course it is!

(Sfx- Doka doka doka thwap thwap thwap)

Yamagawa: Do you have anything else....?

Jiro: Well...

Kyouko: THATS ENOUGH!!

012

Jiro: And there you have it! The organization is on hiatus for now...

But as soon as we regroup, this world is ours!

Yamagawa: And you can be sure when that happens, we'll be the first on the scene for the inauguration!

Tanabe: Thank you for everything today!

Jiro: Thank YOU for the publicity!

Eiko: I wanna see the paper when it comes out!

(Handwritten- Sure, But I wonder if I could see that female supervisor costume again?}

{Handwritten- Ah sorry but no, that's not for every day you see~)

Tanabe: Ah.

Pardon me, but I have one more question.

Jiro-kun and Eiko-san, you two seem to be alone right?

Do you have any other family members? If so, what are they doing now?

Do you know where the other members of the organization are?

013

Jiro: I'm sure that they're working hard until our glorious reunion.

They're a tough bunch!

Tanabe: I see. Well that's a relief to hear.

Eventually you'll get back together and live with your real family again.

Jiro: Ah..yes that is good.

(Handwritten- Whoa! The dog talks!)

(Handwritten- And? Got a problem?)

Yamagawa: We hope that you'll be reading the paper!

Tanabe: Have a good evening.

014

Kyouko: Jiro! Didn't you hear me?! Dinner's ready!

Jiro: Ah! Sorry.

(Sfx- Gatsu grip)

(Sfx- Kuru Spin)

(Sfx- sutto tmp)

Kyouko: Wow, you really can use that cape can't you?

I'm no good at it though.

Jiro: Yep.
015

Kyouko: I'm talkin' to you!!

Jiro: Ngh!!

(Sfx- Getsu Smack)

Jiro: Why did you do that?!

Kyouko: Whats with you all of a sudden! Why are you acting all depressed?

I know you've started thinking about your family again,

But a man doesn't mope around!!

Jiro: That's not it at all! Evil has no need for sentimentalities!!

Leave me be! This is none of your concern!!

016

(Sfx- Pon pat)

Kyouko: There there.

(Sfx- Sasu sasu rub rub)

(TN- Anyone else find it cute that she has to get on her tippy toes to touch his head?)

017

Jiro: Wha?!

What the?!

Kyouko: Shut up! Its not like I have an idea of what I'm supposed to do here!

I just want to cheer you up okay?!

I don't want to see you moping around like that!

That's all....

Jiro: Ngh...

I'm telling you you're wrong woman!!

If you want to cheer me up, become the perfect modification subject!!
Kyouko: Okay, whatever you say.

(Sfx- Un un)

{Soon the day of the paper's release came.}

018

(Jiro's picture- The mad scientist!!//Bottom: Kill them all will rule the world!!//Side of picture: Akuno Jiro.//Top of next picture: But Watari Kyouko's got him under control.//Inset: Pat pat.//Next page, And then his sister, the shadow lady....Part of the evil organization...}

(Sfx- Zawa zawa zawa rustle rustle rustte)

{Jiro had agreed to those pictures, so that that the evil image of the organization would rise.}

Kyouko: WHY!? HOW DID THEY GET THIS PICTURE!!

Akagi: Hey Akuno!

Aoki: I want to join the organization!

Kimura: I want Watari-san to grope me!!

Jiro: Wait! I am NOT under Kyouko's control!!!

{But because of one person's fascination with icecream, they got a completely different type of attention.}

(Handwritten- Yay!)

(Handwritten- Thank you.)
