Ring 1

Ok, at long last I've started translating this! Woo. This series is pretty good. Though only 3 volumes long. I've wanted to do it for a while, partially because it's Shimabukuro-sensei's only series besides Toriko and Takeshi and it's way shorter than Takeshi. Now to do... the rest.

[Ring 1 Translation by Kewl0210]
Author Flap: There's no real sport called Ring. It's a fictional game. I just made it up. Some parts are a little clumsy, but I hope you enjoy it in a broad-minded way...!

Summer: Seriously, Toki! I'm certain it was the lady I saw in my dream!!
And her uniform was for this place!
But most of all, when I got excited, it was the same kind of excited from my dream's excited!
Toki: I don't care what type of exciteds they were.
Anyhow, say that was the girl you saw in your dream?
There's no way she likes you. She doesn't know you.
Handwritten: She's a stranger.
Summer: No! That girl likes me a mammoth amount!
She even said something in Kansai dialect!
Foreigner: Yeah!
Toki: She likes you a mammoth amount because of her Kansai dialect?
Foreigner: Even I want a girlfriend!

George: Well, ya said he was wearing this place's uniform, right?
Guys: Yes.
Though I'd never seen his face before.
George: ...Which means he's a new student, huh?
Huhu, okay then...
For now, go bring that guy here...
I'll make him so excited he pisses himself...

Summer: I treated that great crime of the dad-joke that nearly made the whole school sink into the ground like it was nothin' and forgave him. I'm like a parent with this composure...
Super-adult!!
A happy future awaits...
Is that alone enough for a person to have such a broad mind...?

Toki: Hey, Summer.
Summer: Hmm?
Toki: Are you gonna join any clubs.

Summer: I wasn't really thinking about doing sports once I got to high school...
To be honest, I'm pretty poor so I've gotta get a part time job...
And most of wall, I wonder if I can get a girlfriend...
Forget clubs...
Toki: That again...?
Summer: Speaking of which, she didn't go to the entrance ceremony, did she~~~~? That girl...
