Hajimete No Aku 26

More Akuno!! As for the announcement concerning Viz and SS.....Hyde is considered in limbo right now. If they actually reveal that it is licensed.......well we'll cross that bridge as we get to it.


(Black box- Chapter 26: Jiro on the move.)

(Side text left- We have to stop him with everything we've got!!)

(Side text right- Volume one is in stores everywhere!!)

FUJIKI SHUN
(Black box- A comedy of the civilian's reclamation of that one day a year!)

(TN- That thing is like FAR too blurry. I'm fairly sure that's wrong...if someone can get me a better raw, i'd appreciate it...)

HAJIMETE NO AKU

002

(Sfx- Min min min min ree ree ree ree)

(Sfx- Min min min min ree ree ree re)

Kyouko: Ahhh~

(Side text- She looks like she's about ready to jump from that window!! What could be behind the sudden desire to flee?)

Kyouko: It's hot!!

Yuki: Sure is!

Aki: I'm so hot that I could just fall over!

Yuki: Just make sure you sleep on your stomach Aki-chan, 'kay?

Aki: What's that supposed to mean?

(Sfx- ahahahaahah)

003

Jiro: Why are they going on and on about the temperature?

Did they get into some bad food?

(Sfx- Wai wai)

Midoritani: No no, that's not it Jiro-kun. They're probably excited that Summer vacation is coming up.

Jiro: Summer Vacation?

Midoritani: Yep! The one and the same!

Akagi: YES!! SUMMER VACATION!!

(Sfx- Gara clatter)

Jiro: Ngh!

???: My heart has been throbbing for the tender kiss of Summer!!

My body, soul and mind have been prepared for the glorious opening of Summer!!

The one reason that makes the rest of school worthwhile...is the summer vacation!!

004

Akagi: BUT WHAT A DILEMMA!! FOR WHILE THE SUMMER VACATION BECKONS TO US, WE CANNOT MEET WATARI-SAN UNLESS THERE IS SCHOOL!!

OH WONDEROUS GOD!!! TELL US WHAT WE SHOULD DO!!

Aki: How would I know?

(Sfx- Bishiiiii fwissssh)

Midoritani: I'm sure we'll have plenty of chances when the new school term begins.

Akagi: Midoritani....

Akagi: Scoundrel....what has happened to you...?

Kimura: Just because you're in her class!!

Aoki: Heaven's Wrath!!

(Sfx- Giri giri griiind griiind)

(Sfx- Gyuuu gyuu crack crack)

Midoritani: Gyahhhh!! No! I would never---!!

(Handwritten- I wanna try!!)

Jiro: As usual, I don't understand you people....what is a Summer Vacation?

Kyouko: Figures.

005

Aki: But it's nice to get away from club activities for a while.

I'm looking forward to taking a trip down to the Onsen.

Yuuki: And I go visit my grandma by the beach every year.

Jiro: Oh.

Kyouko: I'm gonna play three times as many Video games,

and just lie around the house, basking in AC.

Aki: You can do that any time though-.

Akagi: I'm gonna look for bugs!

Kimura: I'll catch some crabs!

Aoki: I'll go see fireworks!

Jiro: Whoa!

Aki: How old are you guys...?

Jiro: I think I understand, this summer thing is for people to accomplish their desires.

But what is the duration for this Summer vacation thing?

Kyouko: Hmm...It's till September....

Yuki: So about 40 days right?

006

Jiro: 40 DAYS?!

(Sfx- Bishaaaan doooom)

Aki: There's so much that I want to do!

Kyouko: But it's always too short isn't it?

Yuki: I know! We should totally plan to meet somewhere!

All of us, including the fanclub.

Like, I think we should all go to Comike and cosplay!

(TN- Comike is like a huge comics convention in Japan, where you can sell and buy manga...including self made productions.)

Aki: Comike?

Guys: Nice idea!

Kyouko: Declined!!

Midoritani: Perhaps we should go with something more...orthodox....like the beach?

Kyouko: That's MUCH better!

Yuki: Awww....

Aki: What's Comike?

{To go to the beach with Watari-san!!}

{If I were to die after that it would be fine...}

007

Kyouko: Huh?

(Sfx- Wai wai)

Kyouko: Umm...Where's Jiro?

Midoritani: He was just here a minute ago...

???: Ding-dong dang dong...

Breaking news everyone.

(Sfx- Pa pin)

Yuki: Oh, It's the principal.

Principal: Ahem. I need to make an amendment to our previous plans,

Concerning Summer vacation.

008

Principal: Summer Vacation will be discontinued.

Kids: Whaa?!

Principal: According to the recommendation of this student.
(Sfx- Baaan)

Kyouko: Jiro-!!!

Aki: He COULDN'T have done this, could he?!

Akagi: What the hell could he be thinking?!

Jiro: To think that this Summer vacation could be as long as 40 days....

It is truly shocking! I can't believe that a waste of time like this exists.

009

Jiro: And as you all will soon be my subjects, I will issue my first command!

We will do away with this Summer Vacation immediately!

Everyone: DON'T SCREW WITH US!!!

Guy: I just managed to get a job!!

Guy: As if I'll give up my leisure time dammit!!

Students: We'll beat him down with everything we've got!!

Lets go to the announcement room right away!

(Sfx- Waaa roooar)

???: Hold it!!

(Sfx- Zatsu swiff)

???: The Karate club, the Judo club...and other sports clubs?! Why are you here?!

(Sfx- Baaan booom)

010

Club members: I love Jiro-san...

I'll do anything Jiro-san asks.

Kyouko: Crap! Jiro must have used one of his devices!

Akagi: The 'Imprinting Hormone' again!!

We'll never get through at this rate!!

Guys: Outta my way!!

(Sfx- Baaa fwissh)

Yuki: You guys?!

Guys: Leave this to us!!

You guys go take care of Akuno!!

Aki: You guys!!

Thanks so much!!

Nameless Classmates!!

(Handwritten- Classmate A)

(Handwritten- How cruel...)

011

Akagi: But to think Akuno would take it this far...!!

Have we been underestimating him?!

Kyouko: Jiro!

{Surprisingly, Jiro could act like a mad scientist when he wanted to.}

Kimura: Ooooh!! A rare figure!!

Midoritani: Kimura-kun!!

{The carefully laid traps appeared one after another.}

{They are as ingenious as they are sinister.}

{Konnyaku}

(TN- Jelly made from starch of devil's tongue, and pressed veggies.)

(Sfx- Hiii)

Akagi: He's downed me too----!!

{Torimochi}

(TN- Birdlime.)

{One after another each of the heroes fell to Jiro's cunning.}

Midoritani: President!!

{But even with these significant losses, Watari's party would not stop.}

012

{At long last, they reach Jiro's lair!!}

(Sfx-Zaaan dooom)

Jiro: Hahahaha, I applaud you for coming here, but you are already too late!

The principal is only one stroke away from declaring summer vacation a thing of the past...!

Kyouko: Jiro!! Knock it off!!

Midoritani: We NEED our Summer vacations!!

Jiro: Hmph! You might think and SAY you need them...

But honestly, isn't such a long vacation more detrimental than helpful?!

013

Jiro: Listen to me!! It is far too easy for people to lose their hard earned daily rhythm!

I've become attached to you fools ever since the organization ceased to be...!

Midoritani: Jiro-kun...

Jiro: And now you're telling me that I won't be able to see you in school during this vacation?!

I find you all as subjects to be the most valuable of all!!

That's why I shall do away with Summer Vacation!!

Sign with all of your might principal!!

Principal: Yessir!!

Aki: STOPPIT AKUNO!!

Jiro: I won't let you interfere!!!

(Sfx- Pii beep)

Kyouko: That's right Oneechan.

Yeah he's got some pretty bad things to say about you...

Who? Oh it's Jiro.

(Sfx- Hah)

(Sfx- Kiraaa gleaaam)

Eiko: Ooooh? So long vacations are bad?

People who take them are detrimental?

(Sfx- Hyuuugooo Fwooooosh)

Jiro: Not good!! We must flee!!

Eiko: Too late.

FIIIIREEEEE!!!!

(Sfx- Chuaaaaaaah doooooof)

Jiro: GYAHHHHH!!!!

015

(Sfx- Shuuoooooo foooooooohhhhh)

Eiko: What's wrong with taking a long break once in a while?

(Handwritten- Ya wanna start somethin fool?!)

Eiko: If you work yourself too hard, you'll get stressed out!!

(Sfx- Baaaan)

{Staying over at the Watari house, Akuno Eiko (23)-san. Currently seeking long term employment.}

Eiko: It's a rescission! A rescission! What do you expect me to do?!

(Sfx- Boko boko boko thwok thowk)

Jiro: Gah!! No Oneechan it's not like that---!!

Aki: Jobless huh.....


Kyouko: With this, there'll be no reason to fight.

(Sfx- Patan shut)

{And so Jiro's plan to destroy summer vacation was a complete failure.}

016

Jiro: But what will I do if I cannot study?

I'll become a fool after 40 days of non study...

Kyouko: Not that again....

Eiko: There's no need to worry about that Jiro-.

After all, there's PLENTY of Summer homework to keep your mind sharp during the vacation!

I'm sure that you'll be so busy finishing your work that Summer will pass by in an instant!

Jiro: Oh! Is that so?! Then I can rest easy!

(Sfx- Hahahah!!)

Kyouko: Ah...yeah....we DO have homework don't we....

{The first session of school was over, but Jiro still had plenty to do.}

(Side text- Jiro, are you a reflection of the students?!}
