blurb:

Japan's U-15 team ace player number 10, Aizawa Suguru, and his younger brother, Kakeru, who has a burning passion for football despite only being good enough to be a manager, will make history!

\

4-koma on right:

1. Kakeru: My brother Aizawa Suguru...
Is always so expressionless. sfx: jump jump

2. Kakeru: Even though my brother appears strict,
he actually loves to eat desserts.

3. He always sneaks in some pudding by himself.
At times like this, his expression has to show some content!
sfx: gulp

4. Kakeru: HE'S STILL EXPRESSIONLESS?!
sfx (blue): slam
sfx (red): munch munch

(page01)

SFX: yeeeeeaaaahhhhhh [K: cheering]
Commentator: This is the U-15 Japan-South American Exchange Cup: Japan versus Brazil!
Commentator: Only two minutes of injury time remain in the second half, and Brazil is still leading 2-1!

\

Commentator: It's becoming tougher and tougher for Japan! They need to score an equaliser quickly, no matter what!

\

Commentator: However, Brazil have maintained control over the ball, and they're still attacking fiercely!

\

Kakeru: [thinking] I love football!

------

(page02)

Commentator: Ah! It's Aizawa! Japan's number 10, Aizawa Suguru-

-------

(page03)

Commentator: He's taken advantage of a small gap and stolen the ball!
\

Kakeru: [thinking] I...
really love football!

Commentator: And he dribbles up the field!

\

Kakeru: [thoughts] He completely turned the tide of the match in the blink of an eye!
And that feeling of speed!

\

Commentator: He's passed one defender... two now!
Kakeru: [etc] Such a beautiful solo effort-

\

Some Brazilian dude: You won't get through me!

\

------

(page08-09)

Kakeru: What a magical through pass! In that short moment...
He's reduced the gap from tens of metres to zero!

\

Commentator: It's caught the Brazilian defenders off guard!
With a brilliant left-foot pass, he's gracefully arced the ball up the field!
sfx: bam

\

(page10)

sfx: wham

\

sfx: punch

Commentator: Oh! And the goalkeeper blocks it! What a pity!

\

Commentator: The Brazilian defenders have cleared the ball away from the penalty area!

\

Commentator: Ah! The ball may have been cleared, BUT...

------

(page11)

Commentator: It's as though the ball is attracted to Aizawa's feet!

\

Kakeru: GO-
THAT'S RIGHT!
[thoughts] And then, like a flash of light-


------

(page12)

Kakeru: HE SHOOTS-!!
His sister: Ah!
sfx: wham
Kicked guy: Oof!

(page13)

Commentator: Japan has managed to score the equalising goal during the last seconds of injury time
against the youth champions Brazil!
sfx: cheering

Commentator: The person who scored this goal isn't just anybody!
He is the cool-headed ace of Japan's youth team-

\

Commentator: The number 10 midfielder!
sfx: WWwwhhhooooaaaaaa!

Commentator: AIZAWA SUGURU!

(page14)

Commentator: Brazil quickly restarts play...
sfx: pi-pi-peeeeeeep! (whistle)
Commentator: Aahh- but the full-time whistle's been blown!

\

Commentator: The match has finished!
They have drawn 2-2 with Brazil, the reigning champions! Ah, what an exhilarating performance from the Japanese U-15 Football Team~~~!!
sfx: Woooooooww!

\

background sfx: Yeah!
Kakeru: S... s-s-s-sorry, are you all right?
[small text in bubble] I... I got way too excited!
[smaller text out of bubble] The pain! The pain! Oww!

Kakeru's sister: What are you doing Kake-nii! You're such an idiot!
[small text] I missed Sugu-nii's goal because you distracted me!

sfx of guy's head: rub rub

box: My name is Aizawa Kakeru...

\

box: The younger brother of Aizawa Suguru...

Fat guy: Stop running! What, you scared of me?
Kakeru: Ahhh! I'm sorry!

box: ...but we're so different we're almost worlds apart...

(page15)

\

sfx: go-
yeah-

\

Kakeru: Oh! The midfielder Aizawa Suguru-
Kakeru: has taken advantage of a small gap and intercepted the ball!


------

(page16)

Kakeru: But the reigning champions' defence react quickly!
Kakeru: Brazilian defenders are keeping pressure on him!
sfx: gulp
sign: Those who didn't get to watch the match LOOK HERE!

\

Kakeru: He slips past one defender... Two! Aizawa's miraculously brought the ball up safely!
sfx: Oooooohhhhhh-

\

Kouta: That picture would definitely piss off Suguru-san if he saw it.
[small] Why did he draw the eyebrows so thick?
box: Nakatsuka Kouta
2nd year Defender

Yuusuke: But Kakeru's observations are really detailed... he even remembers the exact positions of the defenders...
box: Saeki Yuusuke
2nd year Midfielder

Guy 1: It's like we're actually there!
Guy 2: He's a great storyteller!

\

Kakeru: And Aizawa passes!
It's a beautiful through pass and it reaches...

\

Kakeru: the BACK OF MY HEAD!
[small text] What?

sfx: [Kakeru's head] whumpf
[the shocked guys] gasp

\

Kakeru: Ow...
sfx: whoooo..

Yuusuke: Kakeru... are you okay?

FOOT: (Suguru) Hey!
sfx: sssssrt

(page17)

Suguru: Practice has already started, Kakeru!
Yuusuke: Suguru-san...
sfx: hurry hurry
Kakeru: Huh?

\

Suguru: What's that money for?
sfx: rustle
Kakeru: Hehe... I thought a little fundraising wouldn't hurt...
[small text WHICH DOESN'T EXIST IN THE CHINESE VERSION O.O] After all, I am the manager, right?
box says: Juumankoku Manjuu [Manjuu has no direction translation. It's a steamed yeast bun with filling.]

\

Suguru: If you think being the manager means you can muck around,
I'll kick you out of this team!
sfx: hmph

\

Kakeru: S... sorry! Su-
Kakeru: No... Sorry, Captain!

\

K's Thoughts: My older brother is an amazing person...

Random Dude: Nice shot!
Girls: Suguru-senpai is so cool!
Aah! He's looking this way!
sfx: Eeeeeee!

K's Thoughts: But...

------

(page19)

\

Yuusuke: Suguru-san's really harsh towards you huh, Kakeru?
Kouta: Maybe you're not really his younger brother!
[small text] Did your parents find you under a bridge?

Kakeru: Nah... I'm just a bit thick at times...
[small text] I'm like my old man actually...

\

Kouta: Well, Suguru-san's harsh towards me too!
He hit me the other day for spying on the girls' changing room.
[small text] Does he expect a lot from me?

Yuusuke: You lucky bastard... You only got hit...
Kakeru: So true...
Kouta (floating bubble on the left next to ...): So you want to be like me too?

\

Big nose guy: Manager! Go and prepare some Gatarade!
[small text] There isn't enough!

Kakeru: Okay-
Yuusuke: I'll pummel you.

\

Girl: Ah! Kakeru-senpai, just leave it to us!
Kakeru: Oh? Are you sure? Thanks!
[small text] Then I'll just polish this ball instead...
Kouta: I'll help you girls out!!

\

Kouta: Let's go prepare Gatarade together!
Girls: It's... it's all right, Nakatsuka-senpai!
[small text] What happened to practice?
Yuusuke: That idiot...

------

(page20)

Yuusuke: So, Kakeru
Kakeru: Hm?
Yuusuke: Are you going to go on like this?

\

Yuusuke: Didn't you feel something when you watched yesterday's match against Brazil?
Yuusuke: After watching your brother play so well, didn't you want to give it a go again?

\

\

Yuusuke: Kakeru.
Yuusuke: Come back into the team!
Kakeru: Yuusuke.

\

Kakeru: Want some sour pickled seaweed? [=Sukonbu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kombu]

\

Yuusuke: It's true that we need someone to be our manager, after all, we train quite a lot...
but... didn't you use to play as a forward in the 1st year?
Yuusuke: You might not have been chosen for the team this year, but you didn't have to take up the position of manager straight away...

\

Yuusuke: I know! If you work on your "left"-
Kakeru: Yuusuke!

------

(page21)

Kakeru: I'm telling you, I'm not just going to stop at being the manager of a middle school football team!
I'm going to work my way up managing just like my brother is working his way up footballing!
sfx: pat pat

\

Kakeru: And then I want to study to become a trainer!
When genius footballer Aizawa Suguru steps into the World Cup stadium, I'll also be with him!
Kakeru: As my brother's manager and trainer!
[small text] That's my dream!

\

\

Guy: Yuusuke! Sub in! C'mon!
Yuusuke: Ah! Yes!

\

Yuusuke: ...huh,
Yuusuke: I guess everybody's goals in life are different.

\

\

Kouta: Kakeru~~

(page22)

Kouta: The Gatarade is ready...
sfx: fii-uuu..
Kakeru: AAAAAAHHHHH!

\

Kouta: Damn... I approached the girl to kiss her, and...
sfx: wipe wipe
Kakeru: What did you do, Kouta...
[small text] In broad daylight...

Kouta: I was just being true to my personality!

\

Kouta: !
Agh! Yuusuke went on again in the mini-game! He left me behind!
Sign: I am the pervert king!
[small text] Won't I get to play today?

Kakeru: [small text] You have something stuck to your back!
It can't be helped! Yuusuke is the best amongst the 8th graders, after all!

\

Kakeru: He's a defensive midfielder now, but actually, if Suguru wasn't here he could have been the playmaker by now.
Kouta: Huh... it must be good to be a manager, so carefree and all!
People like me have to worry about tomorrow's tryout match!
Speech bubble: Ah!

\

Kakeru: Yuusuke!
sfx: bump
Yuusuke: Okay!

No. 32: Damn it!

\

Suguru: Nice, Yuusuke!
Yuusuke: Thanks, Suguru-san.

------

(page25)

Guy: Yuusuke is so good... he's definitely going to be chosen for the team.
Guy 2: He would have become an ace long ago if he wasn't in this school...
Kakeru: NICE JOB, YUUSUKE!

\

Kakeru: Hey Kouta! Did you see that? Yuusuke was great just now!
Kouta: Huh, being a manager suits you after all! You get so happy at other people's achievements!

\

Kakeru: What 'other people'... he's a friend, and a teammate!

\

Kouta: O God, please make it so that someone can't come because of diarrhoea, so I get a chance to play! [K: I can't do praying very well lol.]
Kakeru: Have you heard of the phrase 'Harm set, harm get'?

\


Kouta: I'm never going to take advice from someone who's happy polishing footballs!
Kakeru: Ah- so, you're happy right now?
Kouta: Go away!

Outsiders are barred from entering! Do you want your breasts massaged? Legally.
Kakeru: Br... Breasts?! Kouta! That's illegal! [K: maybe the 'il' can be emphasised or something... although I wouldn't know how to go about it S: Your choice!]
sfx: AHEM
Nana: Do you want to feel them?

\

Kouta: Huh?
Nana: You want to feel them, right?
Kouta: Eh... No... Well...

\

Kouta: Yes, I do!
Nana: No!
\

Nana: But it's okay if Kakeru massages them!
Kouta's sfx: twitch
Kakeru: Huh?!

Kakeru: Err... No... I... I...
Thoughts: Why does she know my name?

Nana: Awww! You're so cute when you blush!

Kouta: Kakeru! That girl called Seven, who's she to you?
Kakeru: Um... that is...

\

Kakeru: She was my elementary school football team teammate...
Kouta: What? You were in a mixed team?

\

Kakeru: No... actually, it was a boy's team...
Kakeru: She was just an exception...

box: Mishima Nana
was a forward in my brother and I's football team in elementary school.

Nana: Yay, Kakeru! We've both been chosen!
Kakeru: My... my name really is there!

box: Because her name was "Nana", we all called her "Seven". [nana means seven in japanese]

\

box: At that time, nobody saw Seven as a girl, because she was so much like the boys.
box: And she was also very tall, and worked hard at football. But in the summer of 5th grade her parents were transferred to America, so she moved away...

\

Guy: Oh! She's really cute!

\

Kakeru: [thoughts] She's become very womanly...
[small text] She didn't have breasts at all before...

Nana: Ah... oh yeah.

Gossiping guys: When Suguru is really serious about passing, it's like no one can receive it...
GG: But if we want to advance into the national stage, we'll have to receive it no matter how much it takes...

Ishikawa: Wait! That's insecticide!
