Hajimete No Aku 92

92 chapters in, and NOW it becomes a battle manga?! (Although according to the manga bible 'Gintama', all shounen manga become battle manga eventually.) Not that I'm complaining. Also, is it just me or have Jiro and Kyouko practically become married over the last three chapters? O_O Nearly two years of bickering, and suddenly they're in love? (Although most would say they've been in love all along...)

HAJIMETE NO AKU

FUJIKI SHUN.

002

(Side text- Hopes for a fun winter vacation are dashed because of a pressing problem...)

Jiro: What?

There's a prowler at school?

Aki: Yeah, he was around the day before yesterday.

Yuki: The girls are going to have real trouble changing...

Jiro: Hm...I guess since it's winter break and not many people are at the school, this person figured it would be easy pickings.

Kyouko: People in clubs are going to be in trouble though.

???: The Kouhais are too scared to even come out.

Even I don't want to go back there....sheesh, if this keeps up the clubs are done for.

003

Yuki: Can you do something about it, Jiro-kun?

Jiro: So some louse thinks he can tread on my territory?

Hmph! I'll teach him some manners! Consider me in!

Aki&Yuki: Yay! You're awesome!

Kyouko: You're 'awesomely' being used.

Jiro: Now, let us be off Kyouko!

Kyouko: What? Me too?

(Sfx- Kacha clack)
(Sfx- Kyoro Kyoro spn spn)

Kurosawa: As I figured, there isn't anyone around during winter vacation..

{Kurosawa Akira. (17) Has come to the school as an undercover agent of justice. Her true identity is secret.}

So then...

(Sfx- Chaaa chack)

(Sfx- Chah slf)

Kurosawa: Trans...

Form.

(Sfx- Katsu sheen)

004

(On Helmet- Black)

Kurosawa: Phewww

(Sfx- Shuuuuu whwwwww)

Kurosawa: It's been a while...

Since I've been able to transform like this...

If I don't get some practice in, I'll lose my edge.

Here goes..

(Sfx- Tatsu dff)

(Sfx- Hyugooo fwoooo)

(Sfx- Ta tan tan tmp tmp tmp)

005

Kurosawa: That feels great!

(Sfx- Tatsu tap)

Kurosawa: I guess I can call it quits for training to...

Kyouko: Are you sure we'll be okay, Jiro?

(Sfx- Doya doya tap tap)

(Sfx- Bikuuu fwip)

Jiro: Just leave it to me! Have I ever failed you before?

Kyouko: That's a joke right?

Kurosawa: W—Why are there people here this late?!

(Sfx- Doki doki throb throb)

Kurosawa: And of all people, it has to be Watari-san and her friends...

006

Jiro: I like to call this a 'Human roach motel.'. It is a shield that keeps anyone already in here from getting out.

With this invention, I will capture this prowler for sure!

Kurosawa: What did he say?!

Why would he create something like that?!

Does he already know my identity?

Jiro: Once we find the louse, we surround and capture him!

Saburo: Yeah!

Kyouko: And what happens if he doesn't come today?

Jiro: We'll just do this every day until he DOES come. We can wait in the shield here after all.

Kyouko: HUH?!

(Sfx- Patan shut)

(Handwritten- Did you say EVERY day?!)

007

Kurosawa: I see, so they're trying to capture a thief.

I do recall the clubs murmuring about someone like that...

If this thief does show up, I'll stop him.

Is what I'd like to say, but I'm undercover.

Agh! But if I'm seen here as a hero doing nothing...

The higher ups will get upset and I'll be fired for sure!

(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmmble)

Kurosawa: A, anyway, I've gotta calm down.

First, let me deactivate my transformation.

(Sfx- kacha kacha clack clack)

{Wait, when I deactivate, lights flash.}

(Sfx- Pekaaaah fwaaaash)

{There's a chance I could be discovered then...}

Kurosawa: What do we HAVE R&D for then?!

Sure it looks cool, but in real life it's useless!!

008

Kurosawa: Busting through this shield isn't gonna happen either...

Though, I could find the activator and break that....

That could work...

Kyouko: Being here at night is creepy...

Jiro: We have electricity, so what is there to be..

(Sfx- Butsuuu poit)

Kyouko: I—it's dark!! Who's doing this?!

Jiro: Is someone tampering with the breaker...?

009

Saburo: I feel something coming...!

(Sfx- Metsu fwssh)
{Sorry Ninja...}

{But the last thing I need is for Akuno to discover me and use one of his devices....}

Kurosawa: GIGA BOLT!

{So I'll have to use force!!}

(Sfx- Bachiii craaaaaackle)

Saburo: Gyahhh!!

Kyouko: Saburo-kun!

Jiro: Stay back, Kyouko!

(Sfx- Suu wfff)

Jiro: Running away?! I see you there!

(Sfx- Botsuuu fwap)

010

(Sfx- Supaah thok)

Jiro: Wha?!

{I was intercepted?!}

(Sfx- Gah tak)

(Sfx- Dozuuuh thoook)

Jiro: Ngh!

Ugh..!

{A mere thief can topple me?!}

(Sfx- Oooooooooo)

011

Jiro: Are you really just a civillian?

Kyouko: Are you okay Jiro?

Jiro: I can't see who I'm fighting in this darkness...!
Kurosawa: He can't figure out who I am in the dark it seems...

{This is the perfect chance to see just how strong he is...!!}

(Sfx- Zatsu swfff)

{Time to go all out!!}

Jiro: Ugh...

(Sfx- Batsu fwaff)

{Too slow!}

(Sfx- Hyuoooooo fwoooosoh)

012

Jiro: Ngh?!

(Sfx- Dododododo tmptmtpmtpm)

(Sfx- Boh fwosh)

Jiro: Argn!!

Kurosawa: GIGA BOLT SPEAR!!

(Sfx- Gagahhh Tha-thoooom)

Jiro: Kuahhh....!

{Hmph...is this all you've got, Akuno Jiro?

Kyouko: Jiro?!

(Sfx- Bishannn zzzzt)

013

(Sfx- Chii riiip)

Kurosawa: Ah...sorry Watari-san!!

I didn't mean for it to spread there...!!

(Sfx- Zaawaaa fwooosh)

Kurosawa: The cape is vibrating....
(Sfx- Gigigigigigi veeveeveeee)

Jiro: Peon....

Look at what you've done...

(Sfx- Katsu shfft)

(Sfx- Jakka clack)

(Handwritten- Be more careful idiot!!)

(Sfx- Gyururururu whrrrrrr)

014

Jiro: TO KYOUKO!!

{Wha...?}

015

(Sfx- GOH THOOM)

Burglar: Wha?

UMPH...!

(Sfx- Gotsh THUNK)

(Sfx- Pote thud)

016

Jiro: Whoa..

(Sfx- Pushuuu fwhsssh)

Kyouko: The lights are back on...

(Sfx- Pahh)

Kyouko: Wow! Your cape can turn into armor too?

(Sfx- Dokiiiin)

Jiro: I...guess so. However, I've never seen it do this before.

(Sfx- Pashuuu clack)
Jiro: There are still some mechanisms in this that father must have left...ones that I know nothing about.

Kyouko: Back to normal?

(Sfx- Pashuuu fwhsssh)

Jiro: Yeah...!

More importantly, Kyouko, how is your injury?

Kyouko: This? It barely even grazed me...

Saburo: Oww....huh? Where's the prowler guy?

Kurosawa: owie..

(Sfx- Mukuri shfft)

017

Kurosawa: He's strong...

I didn't think anything could destroy my suit...

He might look like an airhead, but he's hiding an incredible amount of strength.

Jiro: This is the louse from before!

(Sfx- Dota bata fwiiiiish)

Kurosawa: Akuno Jiro....I was right in thinking you're a force to be reckoned with...

And eventually, the day where we will have to fight each other for real will come...

(Sfx- Hyoi wfff)

Kyouko: Hey, is that you Kurosawa-san?

(Sfx- Zaaa fwipp)

018

Kurosawa: W—watari-san?

(Sfx- Gigigigigigi wiiible)

Kyouko: Why are you here....

And what are you wearing?
(Sfx- Ahyah ahahah)

{I have to find a way out of this...}

{But how...?!}

Kyouko: N-no way...Kurosawa-san...

Kurosawa: Eep!

Kyouko: I had no idea that your cosplay tastes were so refined...

Don't worry though, I won't tell anyone! Though, I have a friend you just have to meet!!

Kurosawa: N—no thanks...

{Kurosawa-san couldn't tell her that how wrong she is. Though, it would have been hard to decide between Justice and tomorrow....}

(Bottom text- It's great Kyouko didn't realize the truth....right?)
