Asterix below panel: A scary person
SFX: sniffle

Linked bubble: What happened?

- I made this ring myself.

Boxed text: I read in a magazine “A handmade ring shall become the strongest protection charm”
Boxed text: Together with my friends, I made my own ring, but my real motive was…

p171-----
Boxed text: that’s right, to give it to Shimura.
- I made this myself—
- Really—

- It’s like Shimura’s dream of going to Koushien is almost about to come true.

- But that doofhead [linked box] This morning…
Thought bubble: Ah, there’s Shimura.
- Oh, it’s Satou from group A.

- She’s cute as usual.

- You know? [linked bubble] I heard if you give her a present she’ll go out once with you!
- What a horrid girl.

p172-----
- Shimura, you have a ring don’t you?
- Yup, it’s at home/

- How about giving it to Satou?
Text beside nose: haha

- What the heck is that guy saying, giving it to…
- Ah…

- That might be a good idea—

Boxed text: And that’s how things came to this…
- What’s…

p173-----
- “a good idea”!?
SFX: bash
SFX: crack

- Doesn’t he know how much feelings I put into that!?
Text cutting bubble: stupid!
- I see. That’s why you blew your top.
Text below bubble: hmm

- That’s ring most likely absorbed your Nen— [see Hunter x Hunter for reference to Nen]
- and thereby manifested its protection powers enabling you to see me. Your Nen is pretty formidable.
Text above bubble: hm

- What the heck’s Nen!! It’s love! Love!!
Text beside head: yes yes

- Hoo. But he puts the ring at home, and wants to give it away [linked bubble] I suppose he really hates me.
SFX: sigh

p174-----
- Did Shimura tell you that? [text cutting bubble] oh my oh my
- Eh? No. Anyhow we haven’t had a proper talk today with all those things happening.

- Huh!? You just got angry without having a proper talk? You’re so—!?
- Eh!? [normal text] But I don’t wanna hear him say that he hates me!!

- You goof! You didn’t try to understand what he really meant by those words and just went on a senseless anger spree!?
- Don’t run away from the situation by hiding behind your rage, face him and ask him properly! Else you two are on course to the worse breakup!!

- O…Oh— you’re right…!!
- It’s not “oh”, do you understand what I said!?

p175-----
- I guess I’ve been too hard on Shimura…
- So you know you’ve been hard on him!

- Yet even so, he said I was a girl.

- Now go find Shimura [linked bubble] and have a good talk, OK?
- poof

- Wow— Ri you’re so nice~~ I’m moved~~~
Text beside bubble: I suddenly see you’re a really cool guy~~
- Gee, thanks.
- …well

p176-----
- Aaas if! Those words just came out when I saw her crying, but I can use her. If I catch Shimura the normal way this female Shuba [asterix 1] would kill me for sure.
- So! I’ll have this female Songokuu [asterix 2] lead me to Shimura, then kill him in an instant! I dub this the “If force doesn’t work try trickery” strategy!!!
SFX: ehehehehehe
Asterix 1: a strong person
Asterix 2: someone from Super Saiyan

- Hm? Shimura’s been detected.
- Pipi—
- Ah!

- Shimura!
- Well, now we don’t have to search for him.
SFX: huff— huff—
- Kayo! I found you—

- You were looking for me?
- I can’t let this misunderstanding go on. [linked bubble] Will you listen to me this time?
SFX: rummage rummage

- About this…

p177-----
SFX: clang

- The ring!!
Text above Ri: my my

- Wearing it on my finger would be embarrassing so I’m wearing it like this.
- But if people knew I’m keeping it with me all the time… that’s embarrassing too, so I tell people it’s at home!

- Uh… but didn’t you say you were giving it away?

SFX: sigh—
- Sheesh… you couldn’t see it was just a joke?
Text beside bubble: “A good idea”? What are you saying? You already have a girlfriend—
Text at left upper corner: Haha— Just kidding
Boxed text: what happened later
- What!? It was like that!!?

p178-----
- You gave me the ring, and now you’re working hard to save my life. With a girlfriend like you, Kayo,
- Why would I want to be with anyone else!

- Then… I was… [linked bubble] too quick to blame!?
SFX: blush

- No, I’m also at fault. I knew your personality and yet said something so thoughtless.

p179-----
- I’m sorry!

- Okay! I’m wearing the ring!
- Really!?

p180-----
SFX: yay yay
White SFX: sneak~~
- How nice— you made up [linked bubble] Now…

- there’s no regrets!!!
SFX: whoosh

- Shimura, behind you!!!

SFX: slip on
White SFX: shiine

p181-----
- I see you, Shinigami!!
SFX: block
- How

- Ri, that’s low!

- Tsk [normal text] Shut it! This is my job!

- Got it!

- One, two

- Eh… Eh…!?

- Our love (Dreams come true)

p183-----
SFX: swing

SFX: spin spin

SFX: splash

SFX: bob bob…

- Yes! The water will mess up the data for sure!
- Oh, a digital file? [text cutting bubble] so that’s why she said water

- The ring! It’s protection powers are very effective right?

Text below panel: the bat got to who knows where

p184-----
- We’re [linked bubble] definitely going to Koushien!

- No doubt!

- Kayo

- Hm?

- Ah… what to do…
- What?
SFX: nervous nervous
- No, they said I should pretend to be American.
- What is it?

p185-----
- Thank you.

- Ah— that was embarrassing. [linked bubble] I can’t do that too often. I am Japanese after all.
SFX: phew—

p186-----
SFX: squeeze—
- Owowow
SFX bubble: crackle crack

SFX: bloop bloop
- —tsk

SFX: ploosh
- Idiots!!!

SFX: bam

p187-----
- Ri!
Text beside arrows: forgot his existence for a minute there

- This is an important File documenting the life and death of people!!
- beep beep
- Obviously it’s engineered to be waterproof!!

Linked bubble: The data isn’t disappearing that eas…
SFX: spin spin

- ily…
SFX: slice

- split

SFX: poof

p188-----
SFX: splash

- He fainted from the shock!
Text beside bubble: eek
Text beside head: Ri you!!
- He’s floating away!! Save him!
SFX: saaaa

- And so, Shimura’s death disappeared with the File’s evaporation. Although Ri’s situation isn’t to be envied…
- Thank goodness!
- Homerun Ring / End

Boxed text: Because of what happened this time, Ri got his salary cut.
- You guys mustn’t ever take off the ring! The only people who can see me and treat me to meals right now are you two!
SFX below bubble: scree—
Text beside bubble: Sorry Ri, it’s my fault…
- Yes yes. [text cutting bubble] Please eat your fill.
Boxed text: We’ve taken on the responsibility of feeding him.

p189-----
Boxed text: Postscript.
- Since not much took place in the Industrial High School in this volume, I’m trying to remedy that in this postscript. Please treat me kindly.
- Hey— give me some information. [linked bubble] Such as the first thing that happens at school in the morning— [smaller text] and stuff
Text below bubble: human figure
Text beside bubble: or what you do when you meet upperclassmen and so on
Text on hat: little brother

Text on hat: little brother
- Ah— [linked bubble] some guys don’t come in through the door.

- They come through the window.
SFX: clang
- The teacher!?
- Morning—
- Not here yet.
Text on blazer: there’s still time—

- They park their motorbikes right outside the window hahaha
- But this seems more like a delinquent’s life than life at an Industrial High.

- Latecomers sneak in through the windows.
Text on black haired guy: 2nd year
Text above black haired: They file in through open windows on the ground floor
Text beside black haired: Morning
Boxed text above head: 1st year
Text beside box: you should hurry, senpai
Text beside arrow: shoes
- A day full of life starts in the morning…!

p190-----
Boxed text: As for the Industrial High girls.
- The Industrial High my little brother goes to has only 15 girls in the entire school. Everyone remembers their faces, since there are so few girls.

- When there’s PE the girls only need to spectate. In summer they get to play in the pool at least once a week, and so on…
Text above girls: From 1st to 3rd year, all 15 play together.
SFX: kya—
SFX above teacher: kya— kya—
- Teachers patrol the pool’s perimeter to ensure no guys are peeking.
Boxed text: A reference to volume one’s hiking trip. It’s true they only buy juice for the girls.

- The girls are very spoiled! Probably because the teachers are sorry that they’re spending everyday putting up with the boys’ fighting, streaking, off-colour jokes and whatnot.
SFX: wahahaha
Text on head: No longer feels anything when seeing a guy wearing only pants (desensitized)
Text along panel bottom: Hang in there girls!!!

- And that’s just been some stories from my little brother’s high school.
Text beside figure: human figure
Text on hat: little brother
- What’s it like at the Industrial High School you go to, or at a nearby Industrial High? [linked bubble] We’re waiting for your letters!
