Hajimete No Aku 98

The next chapter is pretty awesome. Not to say this one wasn't great. Though this supports my 'Aku is going to end fairly soon' theory.



Kimura: My manifest is of course, the traditional Japanese woman!

When a girl sticks with old fashioned values, a man can't help but feel invigorated!

The age of feminism has ended!! Now let us usher in the age of the maiden!

Hail tradition!!

???: Yeah! Totally!!

Hail tradition!!

(Sfx- Waaah!!)

(Banner- Presidential election.)

Yuki: Ooh! He's got them all fired up!

(Sfx- Waaaah)

Aki: Too bad it's over idiocy....

Yuki: But it looks like Jiro-kun may not be able to win!

Aki: You serious? This is Kimura we're talking about.

(Sfx- Waaaaaah)

(Side text- As the presidential speeches empower the masses, something else is happening under the surface...)

HAJIMETE NO AKU.

002

(Top text- Right before the tension filled battle...!!!)

HAJIMETE NO AKU.

(Side text- With their identities revealed, the enemy stands before Jiro and Kurosawa!!)

(Sfx- Ooooooh)

People: Hail tradition!

Hail tradition!!

FUJIKI SHUN.

003

Yoh: Man, they're totally on fire over there!

I don't want to back down here either~!

Jiro: Yeah, the election battle awaits me.

So how about we finish things here quickly, so I can win this election?

Kurosawa: Please be careful, Akuno Jiro.

This won't be an ordinary fight.

Jiro: I noticed. They have strange moves in their arsenal.

(Sfx- Zatsh * swff*)

Jiro: We'll have to go all out then.

004

Jiro: Till the very end!!

(Sfx- Bah fwap)

Jiro: I'll settle this in one blow!

(Sfx- Kyuuuruu winnnd)

Jiro: Lethal strike!! Jiro Wild....

{It didn't reach him?!}

(Sfx- Goh THOK)

Jiro: Ngh!!

(Sfx- Babah fwissh)
Jiro: He deflected my move so easily...!!

Yoh: Now if you're done...

006

Yoh: It's my turn.

(Sfx- Zuahhhhh)

(Sfx- Dododododo thumpthumpthump)

Jiro: Nguah!!

007

Jiro: ugh!!

(Sfx- Doh doh doh thoom thooom)

{It's like gunfire...}

Jiro: Gaahhhh!!

Yoh: My power is to manipulate and give form to killing intent.

Now I wonder how long you can last?

(Sfx- Dodododododo Thoomthoomthoom)

Shizuka: Jiro-san!!

(Sfx- Bah fwap)

Kurosawa: Not good...

(Sfx- Bohhh fwoop)

Oogami: I'm your opponent.

(Sfx- Yurari fwifff)

008

(Sfx- Zubahhh fwfff)

Kurosawa: Out of my way!!

(Sfx- Zukkii crack)
Kurosawa: Ngh...

Not now...!

(Sfx- Bohhh fwooosh)

{Wha...}

Oogami: No matter where I stand, I can make a foothold there.

(Sfx- Ton tmp)

Oogami: When it comes to hand-to-hand fighting....

009

{I'm invincible.}

(Sfx- Nukiii THOOOM)

Kurosawa: Gah!!

(Sfx- Mishiih grnnd)

Oogami: As if I'd fall to an injured fighter.

Shizuka: Kuroawa-san!!!

010

(Sfx- Gahhh doom)

Jiro: Gah....!

Shizuka: Jiro-san!!

Yoh: Man, done all ready?

Well, I guess a former scientist couldn't be expected to put up much of a fight..

Oogami: This much is expected from those who cling to the old regime.

{No way...Kurosawa-san's an active agent of justice....how are she and Jiro-san being beaten so easily...?!}

Yoh: And as for you....

Why don't we put you out your misery?

(Sfx- zuhhh)

011

(Sfx- Dododododo thoooom)

Kurosawa: Shizuka-san...!

(Sfx- Dododododo thoooom)

Yoh: And that's it for cleanup~!

Hm?

012

Shizuka: Jiro-san!!

(Sfx- Shuuuuuu shssssssh)

Jiro: I won't let you touch her, or anyone here...!!

This is my school...!!

(Sfx- Zeh)

(Sfx- hah)

Jiro: You're wrong if you think...

(Sfx- Jakaaa shffft)

Jiro: I'll let you do as you want....!!!

(Sfx- Zawaaaa rooor)

(Sfx- Gyuuruuuu wiinnnd)

013

(Sfx- Mishiih grnnnd)

Yoh: Ungh!

Kurosawa: That cape...

014
Yoh: Ngh!!

(Sfx- Gokaaaah THOOOOM)

Aki: What was that?!

(Sfx- Gogogooggo rmmmble)

Yuki: It was really loud...!

Yoh: That's some awesome destructive power...

My guard's been crushed to dust!

(Sfx- Para para clatter clatter)

Jiro: My cape transformed....what is this?

(Sfx- Zeh)

(Sfx- Hah)

Yoh: So this is the power of the cape developed by the industry's ten fingers huh...

Interesting.

015

Yoh: If that's the case...

I'll have to go all out too!!

(Sfx- Zuhhh fwooosh)

Jiro: You stubborn louse!!

(Sfx- Guuuh)

Jiro: As you wish!

We'll end it with this!!

(Sfx- Zah swff)

Jiro: Kyou....?!

016

Kyouko: What the hell are you two doing?!
(Sfx- Kahhh)

(Sfx- Kiiiiiii)

Kyouko: I got worried when I heard that weird noise just now....

But what the heck are you two doing, and in school?!

And you there! Are you with an organization or something?

I have no idea what you want....

(Handwritten- What's with the all black outfit?)

Kyouko: But if you're here to cause trouble, I'll kick your ass.

017

Kurosawa: Um, Watari-san, the situation is a little dire right now..

(Sfx- Yoro yoro wobble wobble)

Kyouko: Ah! What happened to you Kurosawa-san?!

You're all beaten up!! Will you be okay?

Oogami: Kurusu, people are beginning to gather...

(Sfx- Zawa zawa hustle bustle)

Yoh: Heh.

Ahahahah....this is a problem!

You guys are pretty hot stuff.

It's a crying shame, but we've gotta put this on hold for now.

(Sfx- boh fwosh)

Yoh: I guess it means we concede defeat to you this time.

But you know what? Our true objective is almost ready, and then we're gonna be on the move.

(Sfx- Bahhh)

Yoh: I look forward to seeing you again, Akuno Jiro!!

018
Yoh: Later.

Kyouko: Wh..wait, where are you...

(Sfx- Fuh fwf)

Kyouko: They're gone?!

What was that....?

(Sfx- Furaa fluttter)

Kyouko: Huh?

Shizuka: Jiro-san!!

(Sfx- Dosaaa thudd)

(Sfx- Patah whomp)

Kyouko: What the....huh!?

What happened to you two?

Kusakabe-san, what's going on here?

Shizuka: Eeh?! Um well...I wonder if it's okay to say...?

(Side text- A brief pause in what seems to be a long battle.....the enemies powers are unfathomable and yet......more next issue.)
