FUKUCHI TSUBASA
TAKKOKU

12th Confession: Killing Time.

003

Kako: Soooo~

Cuuuuute~~!!

Gaku: You think?

Kako: Yes! You're adorable!!

And it totally fits you!!

Hikari: Big trouble ya'll!!

Kako: Oh! Hi-chan!!

(Handwritten- Good morning!)

Gaku: Ah! Good morning-.

Hikari: TEACHER!!! THERE'S A CHIWAWA MAN IN OUR CLASS!!

Kako: That's Gacchan! Hi-chan!

He's just showing off his Hollywood makeup training!

004

Hikari: Ah almost forgot!! There's trouble ya'll!

Gaku: What's up?

Hikari: TAKE OFF THE MAKEUP!!

They're back again!! The 'Crush busters!!'

They've already busted up three couples in this neighborhood alone!!

Gaku: Crush busters?

Who are they?

Muko: You really ought to take more interest in your surroundings...

The 'Crush Busters' are a bunch of morons who take sick delight in stealing people's girlfriends.

(Handwritten- What?)

Gaku: Stealing....

But how?!

Hikari: That's what would be called 'Pillage ping pong.'

Ya know how ya'll would become mah boyfriend if ya were to lose to me right?

But Kako would have ah chance to steal ya back from me in another match.

That's Pillage ping pong!!

005

Kako: You caaaan't!!

I was Gacchan's Girlfriend first!!

(Handwritten- I'll never EVER forgive you!!)

(Handwritten- Ugh..)

Muko: Yeah, that's how it works pretty much.

Gaku: No worries. If I should lose to anyone else....

I'll bite my tongue off and die immediately.

Muko: YOUR FANATICAL LOVE IS SCARY!!

Gaku: Say, what happens to the girls that these pillagers take anyway?

Muko: Oh yeah.

This is where the 'Nest' team gets really nasty.

See, the rules of the game dictate that if the guy in the relationship should simply give his girl over, the match will end immediately.

Boy: You can just take my girl!!

Just leave me alone, please!!

(Handwritten- No way!!)

Muko: To put it straight, you can save your own skin if you hand over the one you love.

Of course, those guys don't actually go through with it....

But there's no relationship that can recover from something like that....

(Handwritten- Those guys sure have some rotten hobbies...)

006

Gaku: Hi-chan....

You said those guys were in the neighborhood right?

Hikari: Huh?

???: You guys sure look cute together....

Guy: Y...You are....

The 'Crush Busters...'

Nest!!?

Ngh!!

007

Guy: Let's play a game of...

Take back Takkoku, shall we?

Muko: Wait, Marunouchi!!

I'm not sure where you think you're going,

But you should leave those guys alone!!

Nest consists of guys who are serious business!!

They're affiliated with a bunch of hoods in the area....

Which brings their numbers to about 800 people!!

008


Muko: And even if you aren't afraid of being outnumbered,

There's the 'Demon Claw' Asama Nihito!!

And besides him there's Sugawara Giga!!

Put the two of them together, and there's not a single person who stands a chance!!

All you're doing is hastening your trip into hell if you challenge them...

Gaku: Hey! What's that!!

Muko: LISTEN TO ME!!

(Sfx- Kan kan clack clack)

(Sfx- Kakon twak)

Dude: Lethal Strike~~

???: Wait...Please!!

009

???: NOSE BONE CRUSHER!!!

The score is 0-6!!

Sugawara Giga is leading!!

Gaku: Hm?

Giga: Hehehe....

Gaku: That Giga's smash is really strong isn't it?

He should know better really, this game isn't about hurting others!

(Handwritten- He totally broke that guy's face just now...)

Muko: You're too loud!!

010

Muko: In Ping pong, there's a rule known as 'Obstruction'.

Arrow: You can't hit the ball when it has been launched directly from an opponent. You must wait until it has at least hit the table once.

Diagram: Ah!

(Sfx- Kotsuuu tmp)

Other guy: Awesome!

Muko: This is to keep players from screwing around with their opponent's path.

(Under panel: That's why you can't just swing the racket around wildly after your opponent has launched the ball!)

???: Ngh....

Giga: So what'll it be?

Do you want to fight for that woman some more?

???: No—No way....

Girl: Takashi!! You're selling me?!

Takashi: My nose has been busted!! How about a little consideration for me?!

Girl: You creep!! I hope your beloved nose falls off!!

Takashi: N---No way!!

Giga: Heheheh...!!

I give up! You win.

I hate noisy women anyway!

Thugs: Hahahahah~ That's harsh Giga!!

Someone: Really harsh...

011

(Handwritten- You're an idiot Takashi!!)

(Handwritten- Wait up Mirohi!!)

Giga: Hah!

Someone feelin' lucky?!

Cause I'm in the mood to take someone to school!!

Gahahahaahah!!!

Muko: He's a total jerk....

Hikari: Yeah...

Giga: What the hell is love huuuh?! Isn't it just a weak little thread that the weak hang on to?!

I'm just exposin' the truth for you peons, and I ain't even asking for money!!

If anything, you should be thanking me!!

012

Giga: Gahahahahahah!!

(Sfx- Choi choi tug tug)

Giga: Huh? Who are you?!

Muko: Marunouchi?!

Gaku: You're wrong.

There is a definitive strength....

When believing in love!!

013

Hikari: Wha..!!

Kako: Huuuh?!

Thugs: Who is that brat?!

(Handwritten- And what did he say?!)

Giga: What?

Hikari: What'cha goin' on 'bout Gaku?!?

Ya have to forgive 'im!! He's a little bit touched!!

Gaku: You're the same age as me aren't you?

Why would you do things like this?

Kako: Gacchan!!

Giga: Why am I doing things like this?

It's as plain as day ain't it?

014

Giga: Just killing some time!

It's a fun little diversion, where I separate saps from their women!

Moreover, someone's gotta stand up to this 'Takkoku' law!!

If you've got a problem, take it up with this whole stinkin' country!!

015

Kako: Don't you dare....

Muko: Kako!!

Kako: BULLY GACCHAN!!

Giga: Asama!

(Sfx- Gyuuuuruuuuuuu Spinnnnn)

Nihito: It's not good for little ladies to be so noisy....

Okay?

016

Muko: You're kidding me!!!

Kako's smash can cleave stone!!!

Giga: Stay out of this Asama!!

Nihito: You're standing out too much, Giga.

Gaku: Hey,

How about the two of us have a match?

If I win, you have to stop this 'Crush Busters' business.

Thugs: WHAA?!

Thug: Are you stupid or something?!

Giga isn't gonna play a meaningless game with you!!

Let's kill 'im!!

Muko: What the heck is Marunouchi doing?!

Gaku: It's just a game of Ping pong...

Right?

017

(Sfx- Patsu fwap)

Gaku: Wah!

Giga: Okay...

We'll have a match.

If you beat me, the Crush Busters are a thing of the past.

As proof, I'll even let you have my right arm.

Thugs: Giga!!

Giga: But if I kick your little ass,

You're gonna hand over your right arm right?

018

Kako: Hold on Gacchan!!

Your right arm....

You can't agree to play under those conditions!!

Gaku: We'll decide first serve with rock paper scissors!

Okay, I'll serve first.

Kako: Waaah!! They've already started!!

Hikari: He's actually goin' through with that stipulation!!

(Handwritten- Stoooop!!)

Gaku: Hup!

Giga: Urrahaaaaaa!!!

019

Gaku: A normal serve...?

No! It's got Backspin?!?!

Damn!!

Hikari: Look out ahead!!

Gaku: What?

Giga: Lethal Strike~~

020

Giga: NOSE BONE CRUSHER!!!

Kako: GACCHAAAAAN!!!

Thugs: Gyahahaahah!!!

Dumbass! He's gonna get owned!!

(Sfx- Guiii wiiipe)

Giga: Oh?

021

???: First point Sugawara!!

You're not too bad!! Most guys are on the floor after taking my smash!!

Shurryaaah!!!

Gaku: Guh....

Giga: CHEEK BONE CRUSHER!!!

Muko: That Giga....

Using his swings he's forcing Gaku to have to lean in close, and then get his by his blows!! If Gaku backs away, he'll be in violation of the Obstruction rule!!

(Handwritten- But if he gets too close, he'll get his face busted up!!)

{Since the ball does connect, Giga still scores points.}

022

(Sfx- Fraaa clatter)

Giga: It's gotta suck doesn't it? Thanks to Takkoku, no one can have a normal relationship any more!!

But on top of that, you're about to lose your right arm!!

So whatcha gonna do buddy....?!

You know... I love the thrill of watching guys who talk about love sink into a pool of their own despair!!

THAT IS THE BIGGEST TIME KILLER OF THEM ALL!!

Giga: GYAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!

{Takkoku is a love comedy manga.}
