Panel 2:
I'm starving~~ That face of yours is really grossing me out~~
Sign: Sket-Dan

Panel 3:
Himeko: No matter how bored you are, can you stop making that face?
I can give you a lollipop.
Bossun: Don't want it.
Those candy are really nasty.
Box: Club President, Bossun

Panel 4:
Himeko: How about mackerel miso flavor?
Bossun: I told you, I don't want it!!
Where did you buy it from!?
Himeko: Sigh...
Himeko: Is there really nothing to do here in the club?
Box: Vice President, Himeko

Panel 5:
Bossun: We can't do anything unless we get requests!!
Bossun: We do so much good in this club!
But we've only had three requests so far!
Bossun: We resolve all problems,
The Sket-Dan!!!



Page 2
Panel 1:
Bossun: Looking for Yabazawa-san's right contact lens!! Walking the chairman's dog!! Looking for Yabazawa-san's left contact lens!!
Seriously, that Yabazawa should wear glasses!!
Yabazawa-san
Himeko: That's enough!!

Panel 2:
Himeko: Nothing will change even if we get worked up when we have nothing to do.
Bossun: You're only practicing putting on makeup.
Bossun: What won't change is the 2 centimeters around the surface of your face.

Panel 3:
Bossun: I...
I'm!
Bossun: Sor...
Switch: Bossun, Himeko.

Panel 4:
Switch: Won't you please be quiet?
Box: Secretary, Switch
Switch: Unlike you, I'm busy.
Bossun: How are you busy playing visual novel games!!
Go do that at home!!
Himeko: Seriously...stop that.
What are you two doing!

Panel 5:
Himeko: There's no way you two can be popular with girls. It's not like anyone has ever confessed to you.
Bossun: Idiot...coming from you
...Oww!
Himeko: Who!?
Guy: ...
Switch: I just got a confession.
From Shiorin.
Himeko: Seriously, go home!!!

Panel 6:
Beside head: Excuuuse...me...
Box: Bad timing.



Page 3
Worries, troubles, no matter what, tell us!!
We will become your helpers!! *TL's note: The word helper used here is suketto, which has the same sounds as Sket.



Page 4
Panel 1:
Uh...um...um... My name is Yamanaka Ichiro.
Th...This is...The Sket-Dan, right?

Panel 2:
Switch: Yes.
Ichiro: Eh!?

Panel 3:
Ah, don't worry about it. He's talking through a speech synthesizer.
He doesn't like talking with his mouth, so he'd rather use a computer.

Panel 4:
He's a weird one.

Panel 5:
So...what do you want?
I see...Came to laugh at us for having nothing to do?

Panel 6:
Bossun: You bored bastard!!! I'll laugh with you too! Ahahahahahahahaha!
SFX: Wahaha Uwaaaah!
Himeko: Stop!! Stop crying and laughing at the same time!! You are being too hard on yourself!

Panel 7:
...
Could it be...



Page 5
Panel 1:
I...I have a request...

Panel 5:
A request came------!!!!

Panel 6:
Bossun: Oi, we have a patron!!! Himeko, tea!!!
Bossun: Tea and rope!!
Bossun: I won't let him run away!!
TL's Note: Switch is holding a sign that says "extremely welcome" in Chinese.

Panel 7:
Himeko: Bossun, we don't have any tea cakes. Will lollipops do?
Labels(clockwise from top): miso crab flavored, oyster sauce flavored, salted fish flavored, mayonaise flavored, margarin flavored
Bossun: Those are gross!!!
Bossun: Go on, sit, sit.

Panel 8:
Yamanaka Ichiro. First year, group E, number 18. Born on Janurary 11th, a Capricorn. O blood type. From Kishida middle school. Not a member of any clubs.
Although serious by nature, he is an introvert and quite obedient. He took a leave for about a month when he first entered the school.



Page 6
Panel 1:
Ichiro: !!
Wh-wh...where did you get that information...?
Bossun: Switch's database is really awesome.

Panel 2:
Bossun: Anyway, do you have some worries!? You look like you've been dumped by a girl!!
SFX: *Slap*
Bossun: Did you get dumped? Kah kah kah!!

Panel 3:
Ichiro: Na-chan...
Bossun: Huh?
He really...
Himeko: Bulls-eye, it looks like.

Panel 4+5:
Ichiro: Uh...um...T-t-the problem is w-with the girl that I was going out with...
Ichiro: Um...I have been together with Na-chan...since third year of middle school...
And then...um...we were very good...childhood friends.
Ichiro: Many things happened, but us two young people overcame everything until now...yeah, that's it.
B+H: ...

Panel 6:
Ichiro: Even so...kuh...even so...guh...
SFX: *Sniff*
Ichiro: Suddenly...she...wanted to break u...hic...

Panel 7:
Himeko: Calm down and speak. What are you, in elementary school?
Control your emotions.
Himeko: Here, have a lollipop.
Bossun: But what the heck, you already have a girlfriend-
So you want us to help you get back together?
Ichiro: N...no, um...

Panel 8:
Himeko: He'll never attract anyone.
All he'll get is a broken heart, while living in the dessert. *TL's Note: Himeko is talking about Bossun in the first two bubbles here.
Bossun: Hey...who are you talking about? Hey...
Ichiro: Wait...are you listening to me...?



Page 7
Panel 1:
She is acting weird no matter how you look at it.

Panel 2:
Ichiro: The breakup was so sudden...and she won't tell me the reason either...
And after that, she refuses to even talk to me.
Ichiro: So I thought maybe I should ask the Sket-Dan to listen to her in my stead...

Panel 3:
Himeko: So you think she has a reason that she can't talk about?
Bossun: But it looks like she's trying to avoid you.
It probably won't turn out well.

Panel 4:
Ichiro: I understand...I already know it's probably because she had enough of being nice to me.
Ichiro: But, I want to at least hear the reason properly...
And...

Panel 5:
That my feelings for Na-chan won't lose to anyone...
I want her to know that.

Panel 6:
Well, alright. We accept your request.
Even though it rarely is the case, we happened to be bored to death at the moment.



Page 8
Panel 1:
Ichiro: Th...thank you very much!
Ichiro: Ah...just in case,
Na-chan's...photo. Although it's a purikura. *Purikura are small photo stickers. All the rage in Japan.
Bossun: Oh.

Panel 2:
Himeko: Let me see, is she cute?
Bossun: Don't be stupid, how can she be cute if she likes such a crybaby?
Himeko: Don't say it like Funky Monkey Baby! *TL's Note: Funky Monkey Babys is a Japanese band. What Bossun said sounded very similar to it.

Panel 3:
If she's cute, I'll go die...uh.

Panel 4:
Himeko: She's really cute.
Switch: Isn't that Watanabe-san? She's in my class.
Bossun: ...!!!!!

Panel 5:
Bossun: Somehow...
...I don't have any more motivation...
Bossun: It's great that they look so happy together, oi.
Purikura? I've never taken one before.

Panel 6:
Bossun: I've never taken one.
Himeko: That's enough!!
We'll all go take one later,
Ok!?
Bossun: ...Maybe I should just die after all...?
Himeko: Stop, Bossun!! Get a grip!!!



Page 9
Panel 1:
Watanabe Namiko. First year, group B, number 34. Born on July 3rd. Horoscope is Cancer. A blood type.
Because she doesn't stand out in class and doesn't have many friends, I don't have much data on her.

Panel 2:
Bossun: Damn, she is so cute. It's really making me angry.
Should we stop?
Himeko: Stop complaining and go up there.

Panel 3:
Bossun: Hey hey hey hey, do you have some time? It won't take long. Are you a model? Not interested? It's not a shady job you know.
Bossun: But anyway, to be blunt, I want to talk about Yamanaka Ichiro-kun.

Panel 4:
Namiko: Ikkun?
Namiko: You...came here to talk about him?
Bossun: Eh!?
Ah...yes. Sorry about that...

Panel 5:
Namiko: What!? What did you talk about!?
Bossun: Wai...eh!?
Bossun: With...him....
Bossun: We...ta...
lked...
a bit.

Panel 6:
Switch: When did you become a stripper?
Bossun: I didn't say that!!! *TL's Note: In the original text, when Bossun was being shaked, it kind of sounded like it because of the breaks in the sentence.
Bossun: I said we talked with him a bit!!!
Hey...you make it sound like I just told a joke...



Page 10
Panel 1:
Ichiro is troubled because he was dumped by you.

Panel 2:
...
Yes...

Panel 3:
Well, he would like at least a clear explanation.
If you don't want to speak with him directly, you can do it through us...

Panel 4:
Don't get involved with Ikkun!!!

Panel 5:
I'll talk directly with him.
So please, don't do anything unnecessary...

Panel 6:
!!

Panel 7:
...

Panel 8:
Bossun: It looks like there is something going on.
Want to talk to us about it?
Namiko: ...

Panel 9:
Guy: Muhihi.
It's rare to see you speaking in a place like this, Namiko.



Page 11
Panel 1:
Shiga-kun.

Panel 2:
Bossun: Shiga-kun? Who? Your friend?
Ah, some minor character?
Shiga: Who are you lot?

Panel 3:
Bossun: Us?
Bossun: Listen well.
We are...

Panel 4:
School's!!

Panel 5:
Troubles, *TL's Note: There was a play on word here, as what Switch said was actually To LOVE ru, because it sounds the same as trouble. Just like the manga To-Love-Ru.

Panel 6:
We'll take care of them all!!

Panel 7:
We're the Sket-Dan!!!

Panel 8:
Note: They are happy to have finally decided on a pose.



Page 12
Panel 1:
Bossun: We have business with Na-chan.
Bossun: Are you here to flirt with her? With your face and those party glasses, it's hopeless.
Go home and suck on your mom's breasts.
Himeko: Like in a Hollywood movie.

Panel 2:
Shiga: Na-chan?
Shiga: I see.
You must be with Ichiro.

Panel 3:
Bossun: Ho, so you know Ichiro?
You seem to know your stuff, Party Glasses.
Shiga: Guh...you bastards...
Switch: What is your relation with her, Party?
Shiga: It's abbreviated!?

Panel 4:
Guy: Bastards!!!
Shiga-san is a bit self-conscious of it, but you say it so bluntly!!!
Shiga: That's enough!!!
Got it!! Stop it already!!!

Panel 5:
It seems like you don't know anything. I'll tell you.
I'm Namiko's new boyfriend.

Panel 6:
Bo...
Boyfriend!!?



Page 13
Panel 1:
B...boyfriend...?

Panel 2:
Switch: Our current target, Shiga Hidenori, first year, group D. Came from Kishida middle school.
Switch: His is very proud and tenacious. Although he came from a good family, he is a delinquent. One of those rich types.
He keeps a few henchmen he considers worthy around him.

Panel 3:
If it's Shiga-kun, I know him. Once he picked up the notebook that I dropped.
Although I've never spoken to him...he went to the same middle school as Na-chan and I.

Panel 4:
Ichiro: But I can't believe that he would suddenly go out with Na-chan. There must be a mistake.
Himeko: Even if you say that, just go take a look.
Na-chan herself says it's true.

Panel 5:
Switch: (In train attendant's voice) Travelers transferring from a crybaby to a rich guy, this way.
Bossun: Ah...I'm transferring <3
Ichiro: Na-chan isn't like that!!!
Himeko: Shh!!! Too loud...!!

Panel 6:
Himeko: Not good enough!! You think you can go to Koushien like that!? Idiots!! *Koushien is the most pretigious baseball tournament for high school students.
Players: Fight!!
Players: Ok--



Page 14
Panel 1:
I'll...give up on Na-chan.

Panel 2:
Himeko: Well, I guess that's all you can do.
Bossun: Is that really ok? Doesn't the other guy feel suspicious?
Want to look into it?
Ichiro: No...it's fine.

Panel 3:
I've shown nothing but my pitiful self to Na-chan.
I need to know when to when give up.

Panel 4:
Ever since I was little, Na-chan has been taking care of me.

Panel 5:
Uwaaaaaaaaaaahn!!! Goro is dead!!!

Panel 6:
Namiko: Ikkun, all living things die someday.
Ichiro: I know...but...

Panel 7:
Namiko: Get a grip!!
Namiko: Boys have to be stronger.
If you cry like that, Goro can't go to Heaven.

Panel 8:
Th...that's not right!!
Can Goro really go to Heaven if I don't cry?

Panel 9:
Namiko: You have to show Goro how nice you are.
See, you need to smile.
Namiko: Hihi.



Page 15
Panel 1:
Ichiro: Yeah.
Hihihihihi!
Ichiro: And even when the feelings changed to love, she was still the same.

Panel 2:
Ichiro: I wanted to become a stronger person, but as you can see, it's no good.
Ichiro: But if it's for her, I can do anything.
As for backing out...

Panel 3:
If Na-chan will be happy, it's fine...
I'll be...fine with it.

Panel 6:
Bossun: Shit.
Did that Party bastard go back already?
Himeko: Hey, Bossun.
Switch: It looked like he wanted to be alone with Namiko.

Panel 7:
Himeko: Bossun!! What are you going to do, chasing Shiga like this!?
Bossun: Switch,
Those three are the only ones in this high school from Kishida right?
Is there anyone we can talk to from outside?
SFX: *Type type*
Switch: In this area, there is Hata-kun in West high school.
Himeko: Oi Bossun!!



Page 16
Panel 1:
Bossun: You're so noisy! I want to do something for him. Ichiro is a good guy.
Himeko: Yes, but what can you do when it's like this?

Panel 2:
Bossun: Finding out about Shiga and Namiko.
I can't let it go no matter what. There must be something between the two.
Himeko: What would that be!?
Bossun: How the heck do I know? I don't know what, but Namiko must be hiding something.

Panel 3:
Himeko: Didn't Na-chan say you are doing something unnecessary!?
Himeko: Sniffing around other people's business...
Bossun: Namiko is...!!

Panel 4:
Unable to talk about it.
And not unwilling to.

Panel 5:
Don't get involved with Ikkun!!!

Panel 6:
She can't say it to anyone.

Panel 7:
And since she's in trouble, I'll help.



Page 17
Panel 1:
Bossun: I want to help you.
Himeko: That reminds me, it was the same with me.

Panel 2:
Himeko: Feared as Onihime, I was waving around a hockey stick by myself as you approached me.
Bossun: Give me one of those weird lollipops.

Panel 4:
Come out of school.
I need your help.

Panel 5:
We'll make a club that helps people.

Panel 6:
Switch: "Only the leader of the wolf pack does not get lost".
SFX: *Type type*

Panel 7:
Is that a proverb meaning that we should move under one single leader's commands?
As expected of the walking dictionary.

Panel 8:
Switch: No, I made it up just now.
Himeko: What the heck!?

Panel 9:
Believe in Bossun.
Our job is to follow the direction of our boss, and provide support.



Page 18
Panel 1:
Himeko: ...
That's true.
Himeko: You weren't wrong.
Sorry.

Panel 2:
The problem is that Namiko is hiding something.
And we'll go find out what it is.

Panel 3:
Switch will go gather info at West high school.

Panel 4:
Himeko will come with me.
We'll look into Shiga and Namiko.

Panel 5:
Let's go!!
We're...

Panel 6:
The Sket-Dan!!!



Page 19
Panel 1:
Switch: ...et-Dan!!
Bossun: Don't lag!!!

Panel 2:
Oh,
They seem to be talking.

Panel 3:
Ok...time to use this.

Panel 4:
Bossun: Switch's handiwork, the Draco-shaped eavesdropping device,
Tobikage. *TL's Note: Draco in Japanese is Tobitokage. Also, the kanji used for Tobikage in this case is the same as Hiei's name, from Yu Yu Hakusho.
Box: Draco
Himeko: That guy has weird taste...

Panel 5:
Himeko: But how are we going to do it without them noticing?
Bossun: I will throw it on to Shiga's body from here (star) It's Operation Lucky Strike Super Right Fielder.
Himeko: From here!? How is that possible...
Huh!

Panel 6:
Himeko: The Concentration Mode!!
Bossun: Be quiet for a minute.



Page 20
Panel 1:
Bossun's Concentration Mode---

Panel 2:
Himeko: I leave it to you Bossun!! It's at times like this, when normal strategies don't work...
Bossun: Hey...stop!! Seriously, can you shut up? This is my scene!

Panel 3:
Bossun's Concentration Mode.
By putting on his goggles, Bossun exhibits an extraordinary ability to concentrate.

Panel 4:
At the same time, his ability to think and his eyesight also improve---
As well as his hitting ratio, so to speak.

Panel 5:
Switch: This is the normally useless Bossun's only special ability.
SFX: *Type type type*
Himeko: Who told you to speak!!!
Bossun: I told you, shut up!! Hurry up and go gather info!!

Panel 6:
Alright, I can see well.
I can see Shiga's earring too.
Even Namiko's earring is clear as day.
Looks like she only has it on one side, even though both her ears are pierced.
Oh...! This is a good position. Don't move now...



Page 21
Panel 1:
Bossun: Now!!!
SFX: *Stomp*

Panel 2:
Bossun: Go, Tobikage!!
Himeko: It looks gross!

Panel 3:
Bossun: Yes!!!
Himeko: Ewww!!!

Panel 4:
Bossun: I wonder if I can hear them properly?
Himeko: Wow, that was really amazing. In the next fall festival, you should get that from the target game for me.
Bossun: Their words...
Bossun: I can hear them clearly.
Himeko: The lollipop storage. *The mascot
Bossun: Alright, alright!! I'll get 100 of those for you, so just shut up!!

Panel 5:
You won't even let me hold your hand. What's up with that?
Youcall that going out?

Panel 6:
Shiga: It's so irritating that even I'm near my limits.
Shiga: Should I let it out?
The secret you are keeping away from Ichiro.



Page 22
Panel 1:
Hiding from Ichiro...?

Panel 2:
Shiga: Muhihi.
Shiga: I was lucky too.
Shiga: If I didn't happen to pick up Ichiro's notebook, I wouldn't know about that secret.

Panel 3:
Namiko: You promised to not tell him anything!! This is not what we agreed on!!!
Shiga: Who's the one breaking the promise?
You're my girlfriend, are you not? You can't run away forever.

Panel 4:
Shiga: Tomorrow, my parents won't be home. Muhihi...
Come to my house.

Panel 5:
If you don't, I'll tell Ichiro everything.

Panel 6:
Now it's clear.
That Shiga bastard is controling Namiko with her secret.

Panel 7:
Bossun: The secret is...
That she is actually a magical girl, and Shiga saw...
Himeko: If that's the case, then she can just use her magic to deal with him.
Himeko: The kind that tampers with the brain, and erases all memories since childhood.
Bossun: Alright, I'm sorry I brought it up!!



Page 23
Panel 1:
A secret kept even at the cost of going out with someone else...
How did Shiga find out about it?

Panel 2:
If I didn't happen to pick up Ichiro's notebook...

Panel 3:
Notebook...?

Panel 4:
This is her photo. Although it's a purikura.

Panel 5:
The purikura!!

Panel 6:
!!

Panel 7:
The name on this purikura...
Is not Namiko.



Page 24
Panel 1:
Nanako...!?

Panel 2:
Huh? What!?
This is definitely Namiko!!

Panel 3:
What's going on?

Panel 4:
No way...!!

Panel 5:
I see.

Panel 6:
Switch: This is a little bit of something as thanks for your help.
Guy: Huh? This...Shaolin's "sometimes there are memos" poster?
Guy: You really know my hobbies.
Oooh!! This is the "sometimes the eyes are real too" version! *TL's Note: lol what the heck are those names?

Panel 7:
Guy: They are rare stuff that I wouldn't be able to get myself.
Switch: I know.
Guy: How do you know!? You really are scary!!

Panel 8:
Yuwasha- *TL's Note: Switch's ringtone.



Page 25
Panel 1:
Bossun: Switch!!
Namiko has a twin sister!!!
Bossun: Verify that for me!!

Panel 2:
SFX: *Beep*

Panel 4:
Bossun: He texted back.
SFX: *Press press*
Himeko: What a pain!!
Speak instead!!

Panel 5:
Text:
Switch
----------------------
Rank/ Ape Goku
----------------------
That is correct~~ (keep original symbols)
Namiko has a twin sister named Nanako/
I was so surprised/ (keep original symbols)
Himeko: Why does he sound so spirited again in his text...

Panel 6:
Let's continue with it after I get back to the club room (star)
I found out something really shocking.
I'll be back soon, so wait a bit (keep original symbols)
!!

Panel 7:
Something shocking?



Page 26
Panel 1:
Switch: On the right is Nanako. And left is Namiko.
Switch: Apparently, Nanako is "Na-chan", and Namiko is "Mi-chan".
Switch: It's hard to tell them apart by appearance alone, but it's possible through the earings Ichiro gave them for their birthdays.
Nanako wears the left one, while Namiko wears the right one.

Panel 2:
Switch: In middle school, the one who went out with ichiro was the older sister, Nanako.
SFX: *Type type*
Switch: Those three have always been very good friends, but the obedient Ichiro was attracted to the lively Nanako.
Himeko: I knew it!!
Himeko: Then this is not Namiko, but Nanako!?

Panel 3:
Then could it be, that the one we met is also...
Nanako...

Panel 4:
No, that is not possible.

Panel 5:
Himeko: Huh?
Bossun: Impossible?



Page 27
Panel 1:
What the heck...What's going on?

Panel 2:
Himeko: I don't understand!!
Bossun!!!
Bossun: Gimme some time!!!

Panel 3:
Bossun: I'll think.
SFX: *Grip*

Panel 5:
Going clockwise...:
I will speak to him directly.
Na-chan?
Nanako is "Na-chan", and Namiko is "Mi-chan".
She doesn't stand out in class, and she doesn't have many friends.
The secret you are keeping from Ichiro.
That's soooo awful.
Even though both her ears are pierced, she's only wearing one earing.
Nanako...!?
We all went to the same middle school.



Page 28
Panel 3:
SFX: *Grip*
Bossun: Bwah!!!

Panel 4:
Bossun: I see...
Bossun: Hah
Bossun: Hah
Bossun: Shit!
What the hell...

Panel 5:
Next day---After class
Namiko: Calling me to a place like this...
Namiko: I thought I told you to not get involved.

Panel 6:
Ichiro: S...sorry. I asked them to.
I wanted to talk to you...
Bossun: No.
The reason I called you two...

Panel 7:
Is so you can listen to what I have to say.



Page 29
Panel 1:
If you want to talk, make it quick, Rocket-Dan. *Aka Team Rocket.

Panel 2:
Being from Kishida middle school, you are the only one who knows about Na-chan and Ichiro's past.
You must of course know about Na-chan having a twin sister.

Panel 3:
And then, from the purikura stuck inside Ichiro's notebook that you picked up, you noticed the difference in the name.

Panel 4:
Muhihi...I see. It seems like you have caught on to the truth.

Panel 5:
The one with the secret is you.

Panel 6:
Ichiro: Secret...? Uh...um...
Um, Na-chan and I have something to talk about.
Bossun: She isn't Na-chan.



Page 30
Panel 1:
Na-chan died in an accident before graduating from middle school.

Panel 2:
!!!

Panel 3:
Ichiro: Ah...Um...that's not it. The one who died was...
Nanako(?): Wait a second!!
What are you trying to say!!?

Panel 4:
Bossun: The secret that you've been hiding from him.
Nanako: !!
Bossun: Ichiro's parents verified everything.
Nanako: Please, stop!! Why would you do something like that...

Panel 5:
In order to help Ichiro!!!



Page 31
Panel 1:
That name on the purikura bothered me.
So I followed Namiko after class, and saw her meet up with Ichiro at a place far away from the school.

Panel 2:
There, I heard Ichiro calling Namiko "Na-chan".
I thought it was strange, since "Na-chan" was the name of the dead Nanako. Namiko is supposed to be "Mi-chan".

Panel 3:
Shiga: I've been watching Namiko ever since middle school...muhihi.
The fact that she has her earring on the wrong side made me suspicious.
Shiga: That's right...it was as if Namiko became Nanako.

Panel 4:
And suddenly, it came to me.

Panel 5:
Ichiro: That's enough!! I don't know what you are talking about...
And you should say something to him too,
Ichiro: Na-chan!
No...

Panel 6:
Ichiro...

Panel 7:
You are...



Page 32
Panel 1:
Ichiro: Nanako.
Shiga: Believes that Namiko is Nanako.

Panel 3:
The one who died was Nanako...Ichiro.

Panel 5:
Ichiro: I'm under that impression?
She died...?
Ichiro: Na-chan did?
Ichiro(thought): Na-chan...
Ichiro(thought): Na-chan!!



Page 33
Panel 1:
Na-chan!!!
Pull yourself together!!

Panel 2:
Does it hurt!?
The ambulence will be here soon!!!

Panel 3:

Ikkun...!?



Page 34
Panel 1:
How are you feeling, Ikkun?

Panel 2:
It's already been one month...

Panel 3:
...Chan
Namiko: Huh?

Panel 4:
Seeing your face makes me feel better,
Na-chan.

Panel 6:
You couldn't accept the fact that Nanako is dead, so you convinced yourself that Namiko is Nanako.
By sacrificing Namiko's existence.

Panel 7:
Bossun: That's why...!! She didn't want you to be crushed!!
She could only go along with it!!!
Namiko: Stop!!!



Page 35
Panel 1:
For the past 8 months, Namiko has been living as Nanako because of you.
The people around her couldn't call her by her real name, and she couldn't make any friends. She did it all for your sake.

Panel 2:
But Shiga found out about this secret.

Panel 3:
Himeko: So you were pressing Namiko with that information.
Himeko: Taking advantage of people's kindness,
Is something that I won't forgive.

Panel 4:
Shiga: Muhihi...I have a lot of influence among my guys.
There are backup in the back too.
Shiga: You should be careful of what you say to me...

Panel 5:
Switch: Are you talking about these guys here?
Shiga: !!

Panel 6:
Who is it!?



Page 36
Panel 1:
Wha...!!!?

Panel 2:
Oi, don't make it look like you did it yourself!
You didn't do anything!

Panel 3:
Shiga: No way...!!!

Panel 4:
Shiga: Wa...wait a second!! Time out, time out!!
I, um...wait!!!
Shiga: I know the legendary "Onihime"!!
Himeko: I don't know anyone like you.
Shiga: Eh?

Panel 5:
Huh...? Now that I think about it...

Panel 6:
A hockey stick,
Candy and Kansai-ben, *Kansai-ben is the dialect of Osaka.

Panel 7:
Heavy makeup...
Don't tell me you're...!!



Page 37
Panel 2:
The makeup part was unnecessary.
Pft.

Panel 3:
It's a lie!!
That's not how it is!

Panel 4:
And the proof!?
Show me the proof!!

Panel 5:
Bossun: It's right in front of you.
Bossun: Ichiro,
You remember about the two earrings?



Page 38
Panel 1:
Ichiro: Of course. I was the one who gave them the earrings.
Ichiro: I also remember that they both wore one of the pair.
Na-chan has it on her left ear, and Mi-chan on her right.

Panel 2:
See, she has it on her left ear...
!!

Panel 3:
Ah...

Panel 5:
The right ear also has...a hole?

Panel 6:
Both her ears have holes, when she only should have one.
In order to become Nanako, Namiko pierced her left ear!

Panel 7:
In order to not let you get hurt, she hurt herself instead!!

Panel 8:
The...



Page 39
Panel 1:
Bossun: Pain of that needle!!!
Bossun: Do you understand!!!?
Namiko: That's enough!!! Please stop!!!
Bossun: Do you know the pain of losing your identity!!!?

Panel 5:
Nanako.
You should tell him with your own mouth.

Panel 6:
You are the one who want to make him go back to the way he was.

Panel 7:
You yourself have to recognize that fact.
The way you did it was wrong.

Panel 8:
A lie like that wouldn't last long no matter what.
That's enough.

Panel 9:
Bossun: You sure suffered a lot.
SFX: *Drip*...



Page 40
Panel 1:
Ikkun,
I'm Namiko.

Panel 2:
...No way...

Panel 3:
Ichiro: But...this year...
Didn't we see the...the sakura together?
Namiko: I'm sorry, Ikkun!!
I was wrong!!!

Panel 4:
Na-chan didn't see the sakura...
She couldn't become a high school student.

Panel 5:
Namiko: This earring is a momento from Na-chan.
SFX: *Clip*



Page 41
Panel 1:
Ikkun,
Say goodbye to Na-chan here.

Panel 2:
Ichiro: Wait...
Why...stop...
Namiko: Na-chan is no longer here!!
Namkio: We have to be strong!!

Panel 3:
Boys have to be stronger.

Panel 4:
If you don't say your goodbyes, Na-chan will never be able to go to Heaven!!!

Panel 5:
All living things die someday.



Page 42:

If you cry like that, Goro can't go to Heaven.

I could't do anything without you...
But now...I'll be fine...

Panel 5:
From tomorrow...I won't cry anymore...!! I promise.

Panel 6:
Ikkun, Mi-chan, you're both so troublesome.

Panel 7:
I'll become strong.
That's why...

Panel 8:
Don't worry.

Panel 9:
It's ok to go to sleep...

Panel 10:
Na-chan.



Page 44:

I don't know what to say.
Namiko: I truly thank you.

I...will become stronger.
For sure...definitely.

I'll stop crying,
And become strong.

Panel 2:
Yeah.
We'll be waiting.

Panel 3:
I'm sorry, Mi-chan.
Goodbye, Na-chan.

Panel 5:
Himeko: You say you lost both of them!?
Are contact lenses that easy to lose!?
Bossun: Yabazawa-san, you must not be meant for contact lenses.
You should just use super glue or something to keep them in.
Yabazawa: What are you saying, that's soooo awful!!



Page 46:
Panel 1:
Yabazawa: Fine, I'll just go look for them myself. Yabaibai!! *TL's Note: In Japanese, yabai = awful, baibai = bye bye.
Bossun: You do that.
Bossun: As for super glue, we'll lend you that any time.

Panel 2:
Himeko: That was a bit cold. It's not like we have anything to do.
Bossun: No...it feels like she's somehow making fun of us.
Switch: Hey you two, we got an email from Ichiro.
Bossun: Oh?

Panel 3:
Himeko: Ikkun must be weeping his eyes out during the weekend.
Bossun: What does the email say?

Panel 4:
"Now I'm visiting Nanako's grave with Namiko".
"We really caused a lot of trouble for everyone in Sket-Dan. To properly thank you for your help, I will visit the club room tomorrow", he says.

Panel 5:
Switch: Re: Thank you. Yahoo--(star) I got your email--! We're reeeally bored right now, so come visit right away! (keep the face if you can)
Himeko: No!! You should never write the replies again!!!

Panel 6:
Don't cry.

Panel 7:
I won't.



Page 47:
Panel 1:
I've made up my mind.

Panel 2:
Oh?
Did someone come here? There are flowers.
In a lollipop can.

Panel 4:
SFX: *Sway*
Ichiro: It's cosmos. *TL's Note: Cosmos flowers symbolize peace.

Panel 5:
Bossun: Found it-!! Yabazawa-saaaan!! The second one-!!
Yabazawa: Really? That's so awesome!! *TL's note: The word "yabai" that she always uses can also mean something good.
Bossun: If we all work together, it's a piece of cake!

Panel 6:
Sign: We're Sket-Dan!!
Side text: ...Healing people's hearts. That is the job of Sket-Dan!!
