Rokudenashi Blues 87

Chapter 87: Everyone's Feelings

1
Haruka: If ya were goin' ta Tokyo, ya shoulda told me! // Why didn't ya tell me...? // Why?

Maeda: .....

Haruka: .....

2
Haruka: Not even anyone in yer family knew were ya were, Taison. All they said was maybe Tokyo, or somethin'... // Hey, look at me! // I thought ya'd come back, so... // I went ta a school with sexy sailor suits. // And I even kept my ponytail.

Maeda: Didn't...Ryuutarou tell you anything?

Haruka: Oh, Asakawa-kun? // Nothin'.

3
Maeda: Dumbass.

Haruka: Why'd ya only tell him? // Why didn't ya tell me? // If ya told me, I might've gone with ya...

Maeda: Hey, listen to me!

Haruka: Ah? // Why couldn't I go with ya anyway?

Maeda: .....

Haruka: ..... // Don't ya mean "listen ta me?" // Why do ya have that frickin' Tokyo accent?

Maeda: Wh...what?

4
Maeda: That just happens when you live somewhere! I can't do anything about it!

Haruka: That just happens when you live somewhere! I can't do anything about it!

Maeda: You freaking...

Haruka: You freaking....

(T/N: This entire exchange is Haruka basically making fun of his accent.)

Maeda: .... // ( Gh...same old Haruka.... )

Haruka: ..... // I promised... // I'd meet

Asakawa-kun today. // Here.

Maeda: ....

5
Koheiji: Ahahahahaha! // No way... // Sorry for hitting you like that... // Now that I've calmed down, you seem like a pretty cool guy!

Ryuutarou: Thanks.

Koheiji: So you got a beef with someone called Maeda? // It's probably a coincidence, but there's this guy called Maeda who's really making me sick...

Ryuutarou: I don't hate 'im.

Koheiji: Then what's your problem?

Ryuutarou: He's... // An old friend.

6
Koheiji: Wait...didn't he steal your woman!?

Ryuutarou: Nah, she was his girl. // He always had my back anyway...

Koheiji: He did!? Then why didn't he introduce you to her hot friends or something!?

Ryuutarou: He transferred out. // And then I didn't hear anythin'.

Koheiji: So...that means she's pretty much there for the taking, now? Lucky you!

Ryuutarou: Hahaha...really? You think so? // But I dunno what Haruka... // Oh, did I tell ya her name's Haruka?

Koheiji: No way!

Ryuutarou: I still dunno what Haruka's feelin's are... // She's a strong girl but she probably still loves 'im or somethin'....

7
Koheiji: Well, I wouldn't know about that...

Ryuutarou: Well, I'm gonna go talk to 'er today... // I'm gonna tell 'er everythin'

Koheiji: Really, now? Then say you like her.

Ryuutarou: I l... // ... // lo... // GAH! What'm I supposed ta do when I can't even say that?

Koheiji: Oh, yeah, what's your name, anyway? // I'm Nakata Koheiji, "The Lonely Eagle".

Ryuutarou: B...Blazin' Falcon...Asakawa Ryuutarou.

8
Koheiji: Good luck, Ryuutarou! You can't be indecisive now! // If you like her, tell her!

Ryuutarou: *click* // Fh...

Maeda: JUST FUCKIN' TELL HER, DAMMIT! // Ya like her, aah?

Ryuutarou: Ya retarded? I can't just take ya girl away from ya! // Why don't ya just ask her ta go ta Tokyo with ya, Maeda?

9
Maeda: It's a long story.

Ryuutarou: If ya goin' ta Tokyo, tell her too!

Maeda: I dunno... // It'd be pretty lame ta just ask her...

Ryuutarou: SO YA THINK IT'S BETTER JUST TA NOT TELL HER AT ALL!? // YER ASS IS SO GETTIN' KICKED FER THAT!

Maeda: Heheh...talkin' about Haru always gets ya goin', aah? // I knew I could count on ya.

10
Ryuutarou: DON'T GIMME THAT SHIT! YA KNOW YA WANNA ASK HER! // AND WE'RE TALKIN' ABOUT YOU, NOT ME!

Maeda: Heheh...I knew you had the best Antonio Inoki impression around... // Yo, show me some burnin' spirit!

(T/N: Antonio Inoki was a Japanese wrestler and martial artist active during the 70s and 80s. Burning Spirit (燃える闘魂 moeru toukon) was one of his ring names.)

Ryuutarou: ...!

Maeda: .....

Ryuutarou: Gh...

11
Maeda: OF COURSE I FUCKIN' WANNA ASK HER! // I FUCKIN' WANTED HER TA GO WITH ME!

Ryuutarou: Maeda...

Maeda: But I dunno how the future's gonna turn out... // I ain't even in high school! // Ya think I can ask her when I ain't certain about me? // Ya think she'd wanna leave here for some half-assed shit like that?

Ryuutarou: .... // Heh...that ain't like ya, man. // Ya'd think yer dad was tellin' ya ta marry her. // Ain't ya too young ta talk about all that shit anyway? // Huh?

12
Ryuutarou: Maeda...

Maeda: Tell her ya like her. // And don't tell me it ain't true. I've seen the way ya look at Haru.

Ryuutarou: .... // UOOOOO! // UGH! // GH...

13
Ryuutarou: I'M GONNA FUCKIN' KILL YA!

Maeda: Yeah, come at me, bro!

(T/N: Sorry, couldn't resist!)

Ryuutarou: Hh...

Maeda: Hh... // Haru probably wouldn't mind if ya asked... // Ya should go out with her.

Ryuutarou: ..... // Ya think it'd really be ok to just take her from ya?

Maeda: ....

14
Maeda: .... // Well, if ya did...

Ryuutarou: ....

Maeda: C'mon, let's go.

Koheiji: Earth to Ryuutarou! // Ryuutarou!

Ryuutarou: Uh...

Koheiji: You're going to meet her now, aren't you? We'll go with you. // For encouragement.

Ryuutarou: Oh...yeah...

15
Kazumi: Hey! Chiaki! // You came back here? I was so worried about you!

Chiaki: Sorry.

Kazumi: Oh, you took out the ponytail! // Heheh! Still crying?

Chiaki: No...I'm not. // ....

Kazumi: Don't do that. Exes are exes! // You're with him now! Forget about her!

Chiaki: ..... // I guess so...

16
Chiaki: What happened to Katsuji-kun?

Kazumi: Oh, him? // I don't know! He went off with some girls in sailor suits or something. // But don't worry, tomorrow the trip's over! // And we're going to Portopia Land! It'll be so much fun!

Chiaki: Yeah.

Girls: Ah? You ain't goin'? Even though we showed ya round and all?

Katsuji: Sorry. // It'd be great, but we have to leave. // We've got friends looking for us.

17
Haruka: Asakawa-kun'll be comin' soon. // I got an idea what he's gonna tell me, but... // Ya don't mind, do ya, Taison?

Maeda: ....

Haruka: .... // Anyway...

18
Haruka: Any girls ya like over there?

Maeda: ! // Uh.....

Haruka: Gotcha! // It's cool. // If it happens, it happens...

Maeda: But...

Haruka: Taison.

Maeda: Ow!

19
Haruka: Heheheh... // Ya gotta tell me important stuff sooner, ya know?

Maeda: Haru...

Haruka: Oh, well, that's two years down the drain...

Maeda: Haru....

So many accent jokes. Hard to translate. Oy.
