[Text: The life of an adolescent girl...]
Meguru: Ahh...
[sFX: squish, squash, shift]
[Text: ...can involve all sorts of "complexes"...]
Yumi: Waah... Some guy touched my chest on the train back there...! [aside: waahhh...]
OtherGirl: Yumi, you just have such a big chest, it makes an obvious target!
Meguru: I'm ho~me...
Mother: Meguru! There's some cake if you want something to eat.
Meguru: Mmm, later!
[sFX: dash dash dash]

[sFX: slam]
[sFX: click]
Meguru: (It's definitely not good!!)
[sFX: toss, toss]
Meguru: (It's heavy, it's a pain, it attracts perverts... // Having a large chest...)
[sFX: ta-daaa]
[sFX: boing]
Meguru: ...is totally not a good thing at all!!
[TN: Oh, I see... so what, is this girl just MADE of pure fanservice? Pity her chest is far too large to be remotely attractive.]
Meguru: Since I wear such a small bra to make my chest seem at least a little smaller during the day...
[sFX: fumble fumble]
Meguru: ...the moment when I finally get to take this thing off is always the best~~!♡
[sFX: tumble]

Meguru: I first noticed my chest was large back in the third year of middle school. // I just fond the whole thing so embarrassing... // It was thanks to that that I gave up on a dream I had... / Well, at this point, I don't really care any more, though...
[sFX: boing]
Meguru: (At any rate, I don't want it to get out that I have such a huge chest!!)
Girls: Hey, hey, class rep~~~ // Class rep, you know, you have really big boobs, don't'cha!
Meguru: Is - / Is that right?! I - I - I - I think they're pretty normal, myself!
Girls: Ehhh... They're not normal, they're really big! // That's gotta be a D-cup... I'm jealous...

5
Meguru: (D-cup, huh... Well, if that's all they think they are, that's okay, I guess... / [aside]after all, they're actually... hahahah...[/aside]
Girls: [aside]ah![/aside] / Wh... what's with that guy?! // A pervert...?! Ahhh, he's coming this way.........!!
Meguru: Hm?
Takei: NGUUUUUOOOOOOOOHHH!!
[sFX: stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp]
Girls: Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!
Meguru: (That style of running, waving his arms as though swimming through water... // Ta... Takei-senpai?!)

6
[sFX: ahh!]
[sFX: screeech]
[sFX: rargh!]
Takei: Why, you... back in middle school you were the top swimmer in the whole country! / Why didn't you even join the swimming club in high school?!!
Girls: Swimming club?! [aside]I see...[/aside] // Class rep, you used to do swimming?! And first in the country?!
Meguru: D - // Don't be stupid, there isn't a swimming club! / I mean, the school doesn't even have a swimming pool!!

7
[sFX: ahahah!]
Takei: Ah, well, if that's all it is, then you need not worry! I, Takei, started that very club last year! I rented out a nearby private pool for the purpose!! // But even so, it's not much of a club right now, with only five members... That's why we need you, Watase, top swimmer in the country, to join up and -
Meguru: I don't do that stuff any more.
Takei: Ah, right, you gave it up, well, in that case... / ...wait, WHAAAT?!!!
Meguru: So you see, I can't join your club, I'm very sorry!!
[sFX: dash]
Meguru: (No... no! I finally managed to get into a high school where I don't have to take any swimming lessons! // I didn't expect to see Takei-senpai here...!)

8
Takei: You wait just one moment, Wataseeee...!!
[sFX: stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp]
Meguru: Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!
Takei: Why?! What possible reason could you have for giving up swimming?!
[sFX: stomp stomp stomp]
Takei: Why would an Olympic candidate like you do that?!!
Meguru: (I... I can't.........! // I can't tell him my chest just got so big... // ...that I couldn't stand the embarrassment of wearing a swimming costume......!!!) // Please, just leave me alone~~~~~~~~~!!
Teacher: H - hey, Takei!!
Takei: Agh!
Teacher: What are you doing chasing a girl around the school?! Stop right there!!

[Text: But then he started showing up every day.]
[sFX: gulp]
Takei: You've gotta join the swimming club, Watase! // Give me a race, if you lose you have to join the club, Watase!! // Come on, just give me a race~~~~~~~~~~~~!!
[sFX: raargh~~]
Meguru: Aren't you getting a little off-topic~~~?!
Yamamoto: Well, this is a right little situation you've got yourself in, Meguru.
Meguru: I'm so sorry for putting you all in such an uncomfortable position!
Yamamoto: Oh, we're all right... / But you, I'm not so sure about. I'm not sure how long you're going to hold up with that guy following you around everywhere...

10
Meguru: Y... yeah, you're right, it is a little excessive... / ...... // B... but, to be honest, as for him following me around, that in and of itself isn't so bad... // After all, Takei-senpai... / ...he's my... my first love.
Yamamoto/Yuu: Huh?!
[TN: yuu-love <3]
Meguru: Well, we went to the same swimming school ever since I was little... / and... and I guess I really kind of looked up to him...
[sFX: fidget / fidget]
Meguru: That's why to be honest, seeing him again and having him around like this actually makes me a little... happy. / Though it would be nicer if he was asking me on a date instead of bothering me about swimming... [aside]y'know...?[/aside]

11
Yamamoto: I was pretty surprised to hear that you were into sports like that, but... / But...
[sFX: blu~sh]
Meguru: But what?!
Yuu: Well, why don't'cha just join the swimming club?
[TN: yuu-love <3<3]
Meguru: THAT'S AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT MATTER!!
Yuu: But he might really fall for you if he sees you in a swimsuit!
Meguru: Not a chance in hell!! // I mean, a swimming freak like him will be totally used to seeing girls in swimsuits, so it wouldn't really make much of a difference!! / Besides, I get the feeling recently he hasn't been thinking of me as anything but a rival...
[sFX: waaahh...]
Takei: WATASE!!
[sFX: smash]
Yuu: Ahhh!
[TN: yuu-love <3<3<3]
Takei: You're in there, aren't you?! ...Get out here!!

12
Takei: Come on! Please, at least give me one match!! // If I lose the match, I'll do whatever you say!!
Yamamoto: ...... / I'm opening it, Meguru.
Meguru: Huh?
Yamamoto: Even for a girl, if you were the best in the country, you should be able to beat a guy like him, right?
Meguru: I - I guess...
Yamamoto: Don't you get it? This is a huge chance!
[sFX: click]
Yamamoto: You've got to show him what you're made of, Meguru!
[sFX: clunk]

13
Yamamoto: He said he'd do whatever you say if you beat him, right? // Then if you win, you can make him promise to go on a date with you, can't you?
[sFX: thump thump thump thump thump]
[sFX: fwip // sqeeze]
Guys: It would be really great to have a girl join! / That might give me a real motivation boost! // Takei! You've gotta win!!

14
Meguru: ...Sorry to keep you waiting.
[sFX: stare]
[sFX: aaaaaahhhh!]
Guys: Whooa!! // Wow, she's really something... // I - I hope she takes off that top soon...!!
Takei: So you actually came... / I was worried you might just run off again.
Meguru: I... I'm not going to run!
[sFX: thump thump thump thump]
Meguru: I am here to put my all into this match and defeat you!

15
[sFX: swoosh]
Meguru: When it comes to backstroke, I won't lose to anyone!!
Guys: Wh - whoa, get a load of that chest!! // And she's gonna do backstroke with that... no way!!! // A class rep... with such a magnificent body!
Yui: Meguru-chan's bouncy~!
[TN: yuu-love <3<3<3<3]
Takei: Oh, just what I wanted to hear... / Fact is, I'm pretty damn confident in my backstroke as well.

16
Yuu: ...He actually hasn't noticed her chest at all, has he?
Guys: Go for it, Takei!! // If she joins the club, we'll be able to see that glorious chest every day!!
[sFX: clutch]
Guy: Well, then, on your marks... // Get set...
[sFX: er, the sound of a whistle... however you'd render that in English... I can't think...]

17
Takei: (Like I'm gonna lose!)
Meguru: (Like I'm gonna lose!!)
Both: (Like I'm gonna lose......!!!)
[sFX: whistle sound again]
Meguru: [aside]*pant* // *pant*[/aside]
Yuu: Meguru-chan wins~~~~~~~~!
Guys: S - so fast... // To be able to beat Takei by so far...
Meguru: Se - // Senpai...
Takei: Hah.
[sFX: straighten]

18
Takei: Thanks, Watase, for giving me a match.
[sFX: tap]
Takei: Man, you really are somethin'!!
[sFX: swooon]
Takei: Well, I never go back on a promise. // So you just ask me anything, and I'll do it.

19
Takei: It had better be something I can actually pull off, mind!!
Yamamoto: Go on, Meguru.
Yuu: Meguru-chan!
[sFX: thump thump thump thump thump]
Meguru: Ah... Well... // (I... I can't...)
[sFX: thump thump thump]
Meguru: (Don't stare at me like that...) // Ah...! // I just don't know where to look when you go around in your swimsuit, so please could you make sure to wear clothes when I'm around!!
Yamamoto: What kind of request was that...?! / [aside]silly you.[/aside]
Meguru: But I was so nervous...!!
Yuu: When you're nervous, you just have to gulp it down and trace the kanji for "person" in your hand three times!
[Text: Is love so unreachable? // And even after that...]
[sFX: SLAM]
Takei: I'm gonna go on a seaside retreat in the Christmas holidays, and train like hell! / Once I've improved, I'll be challenging you again! [aside]wahahahahah![/aside]
Meguru: [aside]ugh...[/aside] / (I wonder when this guy's going to actually notice that I'm a girl...)
[bottom text: Next issue, making a dash for that girl!! To be continued in "Reverse Boy"!!]
