こらー亜美ー！！
Hey, Ami!!

あはっ
Aha~

私のUSBメモリ返しなさーい！
Give my USB flash disk back!

ちょっっ耳につめるんじゃないのーっ！！
Hey, don't plug it into your ear!!

もしもし？涼？
Hello? Ryou?

ちょうどよかった
Nice timing.
ちょっと聞きたいことが
I have something to ask-

律子姉ちゃんっっ
Ritsuko-neechan~~

律子姉ちゃん...
Ritsuko-neechan...

事情はわかったけどやっぱり私は仕事で手伝ってあげられないわ
"I understand your situation, but I really can't help you in doing your job.

でも、今日14時ごろ神社で神頼みでもすれば助けが来るかもね
However, if you pray at the shrine at about 14 o'clock today, your help will probably comes."

ーってメール返ってきたけど...どういうことだろう...
She mailed me back as such... But what does this mean, I wonder...

まあ、どっちにしても神頼みでもしたい心境ではあったけど...
Either way, although I was in the mood to want to pray...

ぱん ぱん
Pow (x2)

ねぇキミ
Hey, you over there.
------------------
Page 04+05

キミが秋月涼？
Are you Akidzuki Ryou?

き、菊池...
Ki-Kikuchi...

真...さん！？
Makoto...san?!

あっボクのこと知ってくれたんだ
Ah, so you know me.

あ...はい！
Ah... Yes!

あの...どうして...
Um... Why are you...

律子からキミの面倒見てくれないかって頼まれてさ
I received a request to look after you, from Ritsuko.

律子姉ちゃんが？
From Ritsuko-neechan?

そう、律子とは同じ事務所の同期なんだ
Yeah. Ritsuko is my contemporary fellow. We work for the same office.
ボク今半休暇中で時間には余裕あってさ
Right now I'm on half-holiday period, so I have plenty of time.

765プロ！
765 production!
-----------------
Page 06

真さんて...あの時は一瞬でわからなかったけど
Makoto-san... I didn't realized it in that instant back then.

こうして見ると
But when looking at him like this,

すごい綺麗な顔...
he has quite a pretty face...

体も思ってたより全然小柄で細くって
His body is completely shorter and slender than what I thought.

なんだか
For some reason,

まるで...
he looks just like...

まるで女の子みたい
Just like a girl!
-----------------
Page 07

でも、それでもやっぱり凛々しくて格好いい...！！
But even so, he still looks cool and gallant...!!

きっと、真さんも僕と同じような悩みを抱えて
Makoto-san must also have had troubles like mine.
でも、がんばって努力して男性アイドルとしてがんばってるんだ
However, he tried his best, exerted himself and stood firm as a male idol.

涼？
Ryou?

はっはい！
Y-Yes?

キミのこと涼って呼んじゃっていいかな？
Is it okay if I call you Ryou?

はい！大丈夫です！
Sure! It's okay!

涼
Ryou.

キミってさ
You know,

すごく...かわいいね
you look... quite cute.

ドキーン
THUMP

Page 08

な...ななな...つ、なんでいきなりそんな...！！？
Wh... Wh-Wh-Wh... Why did he suddenly say that...?!!

ドッ (x4)
Pant (x4)

もしかしてこれって...
Could this mean...

口説かれてる...！？
he's making a move on me...?!

いいなぁ、女の子女の子してて...
How nice to be like a girl...

うらやまし。
I'm so envious.

律子姉ちゃん僕が男だってこと真さんに話してないみたいだ...
It seems Ritsuko-neechan hasn't told Makoto-san that I'm male...

どうしよう...
What should I do...
いや...考えすぎだよね
No... I must be over-thinking.

話は律子から聞いてるよ
I've heard from Ritsuko.
今度、同期とオーディションで戦うんだって？
This time you'll be engaging in an audition against fellow idols, right?

それでキミだけ仲間がいなくって困ってるって
Because of that, you're troubled that you will have no partners and will be engaging alone?

はい...
Yes...

それじゃあ、ボクと一緒にやらないか？
Well then, how about teaming up with me?

トレーニングつき合うよ
I'll accompany you in your training.
---------------
Page 09

本当ですか！？
Really?!

もっと力を抜いて...僕に身を任せて...
Relax... Leave your body to me...

でも...真...さん、私...
But... Makoto...-san, I...

恥ずかしがることはないよ
It's nothing to be embarrassed about.

かわいいな涼は...
You're so cute, Ryou...

ああああっっ僕は何を考えてるんだっ
Ahhhhhh!! What in the world am I thinking?!

ばかっ (x4)
Stupid (x4)

考えすぎ、考えすぎ、そんなことあるわけないっっ
I'm thinking too much. How could such a thing be happening?

それに、こんな凄い人が仲間になってくれるなんて恵まれてるよね！
Besides, it's a bless to have such a great person be my partner!

こちらこそ！よろしくお願いします！！
I'm honored! Pleased to work with you!!

オーケー
Okay.

ただし、律子からは厳しくてくれって言われてるから
However, Ritsuko asked me to be strict with you,
ビシビシしごくし覚悟してくれよ！
so be thoroughly mentally prepared!
--------------
Page 10

よし！それじゃあ、景気づけに一発！！
Okay then! Let's give one shot to cheer up!!

涼、こうやって拳を出して
Ryou, stick out your fist like this.

こうですか？
Like this?

オーディション絶対に勝つよ！！
You must win the audition!!

はい！
Roger!

だーんっ
DANG

こうして僕と真さんの
And thus, the days of training

トレーニングの日々が
of me and Makoto-san

セイッ
SEI

せいっっ
Sei

始まった

一部事実と異なる表現があったことをお詫びいたします。
My apology for including some illustrating panels that differ from reality.

Page 12

さあっダッシュもう一本！
Now, dash for one more lap!

―って、あれ、もうへばったのかい
Huh? You've worn out already?

はひっ
Hahi

はひっ
Hahi

す...少し...
L... Let me...

休ませて...
take a break...

そうだな、じゃあ休憩にしようか
I suppose so. Let's have a rest then.

助かった~
I'm saved~

立てるかい？
Can you stand up?

どきーん
Thump

はっ
Y-

はっ
Y-
はひ...
Yeah...

Page 13

あそこのベンチで休もうかー...
Shall we rest at the bench over there...?

な...何？今の...
Wh... What was it... just now...?

僕、もしかして...
Could it be that I...

気のせい！たくさん走って動悸がしてるせいだよね！
Must be my imagination! It must be because I've run too much that my heart beats so heavily!

じょ、女性アイドルもこんなにハードにトレーニングするものなんですか？
E-Even female idols have to train so hard like this?

もちろんだよ
Of course.

ボクの友達のアイドルも細い体で腹筋500回くらいは軽くこなしちゃうよ
My fellow idol can do 500 sit-ups just fine with her slender body, too.

500回！？
500 times?!

アイドルってみんな実はガチムチ...
I didn't know idols are actually all muscular...

ははは、そんなことないよ
Hahaha, that's not true.
ボクの体触ってみるかい？
Wanna try touching my body?

え？いいんですか？
Eh? You don't mind if I do so?

じゃあ
Then...
---------------
Page 14

ど、どこを触ってるんだよぉぉ~！？
Wh-Where are you touching~?!

すごいやわらかい筋肉ですね！
You have amazingly soft muscle!

え？
Eh?

腕も...もっとゴツゴツしてるのかと思ったけど...
Your arm is also... thinner than I thought it was...

あ...そっか
Ah... Is that so?
あんまりガッチリしちゃうとアイドルっぽくなくなるからね
It's because if I'm too well-built, I will not appear like an idol.
結構大変なんだぞ？このラインに鍛えあげるのも
It's rather difficult to train well to keep this body line, don't you think?

一見アイドルって派手に見えるけど
Speaking of idols, they seem showy at the first glance,

地道な仕事やレッスンの積み重ねがアイドルとして身も心も育てていくんだ
but the accumulation of lessons and steady jobs bring them up in both physical and mental aspects as idols.

ねえ、涼
Say, Ryou.
---------------
Page 15

アイドルの心を育てる素って何かわかる？
Do you know what the base that brings an idol's heart up is?

心の...素...？
The base... for a heart...?

夢...ですか？
Is it... a dream?

うん、まずは夢を持って！スタートはそこからだね
Yeah, the first thing is to have a dream! And then you start from there.

でもね
But you know,

いつか、それだけではがんばれない日がくるんだ...
sooner or later, the day when you can't stand firm with just that will come...

夢だけでは...だめ...
So a dream is... not enough...
---------------
Page 16

アイドルだっていつも前向きでいられるわけじゃないしね
You know, there's no way that an idol can always face forward.

だけど、辛くなった時自分を助けてくれる人が
However, there surely is a friend that will help you

仲間がきっといる
when you have a hard time.

その人のためにって思うことで
By thinking for the sake of that person,
--------------
Page 17

ボクたちはもう一段強くなれるんだ
we can be one step stronger.

自分のためだけじゃなく
Not only for your sake
誰かのためでもあるんですね
but also for someone else, right?

そういうこと
Yeah, that's it.

私には...まだないかも...
Perhaps I still... don't have one...
---------------
Page 18

ははっ
Haha
そんな顔しないで
Don't make such a face.

ボクだってつい最近気付いたことなんだ
That's what I've just realized recently.
今はわからなくってもさ
You don't have to know it at this time.

胸のどこかで覚えておいてよ
Just carve it on somewhere in your heart.

ドキン
THUMP
---------------
Page 19

何...？また...この感じ、これってまさか
What...? Again... This feeling... Could it be...

もしかして僕って...
Could it be that...

アブノーマルだったのぉ~~！！？
I'm abnormal~~?!!

！！真さん！私まだがんばれます！！
Makoto-san! I can still keep up!!

ほぎゃ
Hogyahh

おっ、気力十分だね！
Yeah! That's the spirit!

よーし！じゃあもう一本！！
Okay! One more lap then!!

はい
Roger!

そんな...そんなわけないよ~~！！
No way... There's no way it could be so~!!
----------------
Page 20

真ー！！涼！たた、大変よ！！
Makoto!! Ryou! B-B-Bad news!!

はんっ
BAM

どうしたんよ、律子
What happened, Ritsuko?
今、ミーチング中なんだから
We're currently having a meeting.

そんなことより大変なんだから！！
I'm telling you, this is more serious than that!!

これを見て！！
Look at this!!

菊地真駆け出しアイドルラブラブデート
Kikuchi Makoto has picked up a novice idol and had a lovey-dovey date

公園でイチャイチャツーショット！
Camera shots of the two flirting in a park at night!

"真前"な流し目にウットリ
Spellbound in "Makoto-mae" flirtatious glance

バアアアーン
Baaam

「あの菊地真駆け出しアイドルをひっかけラブラブデート！？」
"Kikuchi Makoto has picked up a novice idol and had a lovey-dovey date with her?!"

「夜の公園でイチャイチャツーショット」！？
"Camera shots of the two flirting in a park at night"?!
-------------
Page 21

この写真って...あの時の！！
This picture is... from that time!!

ああ...やられたよ...狙われてたみたいだ
Yeah... We've got caught... It seems they were aiming at us.

うわぁ...これじゃあ本当にカップル同士みたいじゃないか...
Uwah... This means we really look like a couple...

まったくひどいよ！！女の子同士なのに
This is totally awful!! We are BOTH GIRLS.
「ひっかけ」とか「ラブラブデート」とかなんだよー
And yet they used phrases like "pick up" or "lovey-dovey date".

えっ
Eh?

お...
B...

女の子...
Both...

...同士？
girls?
-------------
Page 22

あれ？僕が今、女の子で、真さんが...女の...子...あれ？
Huh? I now am a girl, and Makoto-san... is a.. girl... huh?

キレイな顔...
A pretty face...

体も思ってたより全然小柄で...
A body completely slender than I thought...

まるで女の子みたい...
Just like a girl...

「どこ触ってるんだよぉぉ！！」
"Where are you touching?!"

涼？
Ryou?

ご...
I...
ごめんなさい...
I'm very sorry...
---------------
Page 23

ひどいよー！！
How awful!!

あんなに一緒にやってきたのにっボクのこと男だと思ってたなんて！！
You spent so much time tagging along with me! How could you possibly think that I'm a guy?!

あははははは
Ahahahahaha

ごめんなさいごめんなさい
I'm sorry! I'm terribly sorry!

律子も！笑いすぎだから！
You too, Ritsuko! You're laughing too much!

だって~
But~

あんたも黙っておけばいいものを...
You've said something you should've just kept quiet about...

私、真さんのこと知ったのってスニーカーのポスターを見てからで...
What I knew about you, Makoto-san, was from looking at the poster of you wearing sneakers...
それがすごい格好よくって...
You looked amazingly cool...

それにファンの人から「真くん」って呼ばれてたから、つい...その...
Besides, a fan was calling you "Makoto-kun", so... I unintentionally...
思い込んじゃってて...
jumped into the wrong conclusion...
---------------
Page 24

そういえば、そこの広告始めてから
Come to think of it, you've once said that since they started publicizing that ads,

男性ファンからも「舎弟にしてくれ」ってファンレターが届くようになったって言ってたわね
you ended up receiving fan letters saying "please be my younger brother" from some male fans.

うう~~~
Uu~~

わかったよ！ボクが女だって脱いで証明するよ！
I got it! I'll undress and show you the proof that I'm a woman!

脱ぎっっ
Undress

やめてくださいー！！私が悪かったですー！！
Please stop~!! It was my fault~!!

よしっ、じゃあちょっと待ってて！
Okay then, wait here for a while!

律子姉ちゃん...どうしよう...
Ritsuko-neechan... What should I do...

大丈夫、おもしろかったわよ
Don't worry. It was interesting.

そうじゃなくて~
I didn't mean that~

お待たせ！
Sorry for the wait!
---------------
Page 25

バアアン
BAAM

これでもボクが男だって言える！？
Now can you still say I'm a guy?!

わあ
Wow

真さん...
Makoto-san...
かわいい...
You looks so cute...

え？え、そうかな？
Eh? Is that so?

はい！本当に！！
Yeah! Really!!

やっぱり真さんすごいです！とてもキレイ...
You look wonderful! Very beautiful...

エヘヘ~そんな言いすぎだって~~
Ehehe~ You don't have to exaggerate so much~~
いいよー照れるじゃんよ~~
That's enough~ Or I'll feel awkward~~

えへへ~
Ehehe~

ああよかった...僕、至ってノーマルだった...！！
Ah, I'm so glad... I'm totally normal...!!
----------------
Page 26

まあ...それはいいとして...
Well... Enough about that...

この記事どうしようか...
What shall we do about this article...
真面目にとりあうのもなんだけど
It would be no good to take this seriously,

言われ放題なのはくやしいし...
but it's mortifying to let them say whatever they want about us...

そうですね...
I suppose so...

よし！
Okay!

こうなったらボクたち自身で
Now that it has come to this, we have no choice but to

ミッションスタート！！アイドルの底力を見せつけろ！
Mission start!! Show them the strength hidden within idols!

疑惑を晴らすしかない！！
clear away all of their misgivings by ourselves!!

Note for page 20 : 真前 (Makoto-mae) is a replacement for 男前 (otokomae), which means "handsome man", in order to describe Makoto's manly appeal, since she hates being treated like a guy.
