(page168)

Enoshima 11: What?! I'm not in the group photo?! But I'm a starter...
sfx head: SHOCK

Kondou sfx: pat

Three stooges sfx: YEAH-! [K: long dash please, otherwise don't bother]

Enoshima 12: Isn't it already good to be a starter? Damn... damn Kurebayashi!

Enoshima 13: Well, well...

Enoshima 8 (LEEEEEEEEEEEE): I'll be the no. 1 keeper one of these days.

sfx: grumble grumble
sfx: plod plod

(page169)

sfx: waa-
waa- [wow, wow?]

\

Kouta: Wow, it's amazing... damn it! Schools with money really are different.
It doesn't only have the normal turf pitch, but also a small audience stand?!

Takase: Not to mention the fact that Keisou is a good university to go to, and that their football program is strong too... it's really frustrating.

Yakumo: They must get all the girls!
Matoba: Wow... such honest jealousy.

\

Nana: That's because a lot of excellent junior athletes were recommended to this school because of sports.

\

Kakeru: But it's really not advantageous for us to play our opponents on their grounds.

Kaoru: Being away has some good points, too.

\

??: Hey, Kakeru, Kouta, Mishima-san!

------

(page170)

Yuusuke: Hi.

\

Kakeru: Yuusuke!

Kouta: Oh, what are you doing here?
To chat up some cheerleaders?

Yuusuke: You know, Kouta, you haven't progressed at all.

\

Yuusuke: I came to cheer for you, of course!

\

Kakeru: Thanks! [K: or 'yeah', 'yes'... dunno really]

------

(page171)

Yuusuke: Kunimatsu-san's here too.
Kakeru: Really?
Yuusuke: Ah, and Nishijima too.
Kouta: Gaah, why him too?

\

Yuusuke: And also maybe one more person.
Kunimatsu: Hey, Yuusuke!

\

Yuusuke: Ah! I'm coming!

\

sfx: nod

\

sfx: grin

\

Kunimatsu: Do your best, Kakeru!
[small text] You too, Kouta.

Kakeru: I will!

sfx Nishijima: flash ?

\

Sawamura: What are you doing, guys? It's time to line up!
K/K: Ah... yes, we're coming!

------

(page172)

Yuusuke: Are you playing in today's game, Kakeru?
Kakeru: I don't know. I'm in the bench, but I don't know if I'll play...

\

Kakeru: But if I do play, I'll definitely score for you.
Kakeru: In front of you and the others!

\

Yuusuke: All right!
sfx: bump

\

Crowd: Do your best, Keisou!!
sfx: eeeek
eeeeek [K; or you know, kyaa, kyaa]

Crowd: Go, Go, K.E.I.S.O.U!

\

sfxs: eeeek/kyaa

Kouta: Damn it~ We've got supporters too, but the majority of the crowd supports our opponents.

Yakumo: They're not just Keisou students, but also students from the girl's school opposite, damn it!

GIrls: Do your best, Nakajima-kun~~~~~~~<3

------

(page173)

sfx under arm: eeek/kyaa
Nakajima: Yeah.

sfx Nakajima left: rustle

sfx left to that: eeek/kyaa

sfx Yakumo/Kouta: anger

small text: And what's with the rustling?

\

Mako: That Nakajima guy may look like a player, [K: flirt kind of player, feel free to choose another word if meaning is ambiguous]
But he's a regular for the Shounan Junior team. [K: shounan is an area in Kanagawa.]

\

Mako?: Oh, Shimatani from the Yokohama Junior Team is here too. [K: Yokohama is a city in Kanagawa.]
sfx: eeek/kyaa

sfx hair: flutter

Girls: Love you, Shimatani-kun~~~~~<3

sfx: eeek/kyaa

\

Girls: Aaaaah, look here!
Kouta: And he's fluttering!

sfx: eeek/kyaa [x3]

Girls: So cool~~~~~<3

\

Mako: Right now these guys are aiming to enter the J-League from their club teams.
If they didn't want to join the national team they would go to Keisou.

\

Mako: They think that instead of deciding to bet their future on football,
finding a good company after graduating from Keisou would be smarter.
[small text] Like paving their future paths.

Kouta/Yakumo: We'll get them!

\

\

Kouta: We're pretty cool today, aren't we!
sfx: thump
Yakumo: Yeah.
We'll beat them to pieces!

------

(page174)

Announcer: Well... now then, this the second match of the first round of high school football preliminaries in Kanagawa,
Enoshima High School against Keisou University-Affiliated Shounan High School.

sfx: eeek/kyaa
Girl: Nakajima-kuuuun<3
Girl: Shimatani-kuuuun<3
sfx: eeek/kyaa

\

sfx right: flutter
sfx middle: rustle
Ref: Ahem

\

Nakajima: Crap.
Guy: Idiot.
Guy 3: Pffh.

\

\

ODAAAAAAAA: What's with that frivolous attitude?!
Hey, Araki...

\

\

Oda blushing: Araki...

------

(page175)

Kouta: Damn it, they're looking down on us!

\

Takase: That's because last year, we only reached the second round of preliminaries.

Takase: Of course Keisou, who progressed to the Inter-High and reached the quarterfinals, would think nothing of us.

\

Nana: It's fine! We're a completely different team from that time!

Kakeru: Yep, definitely!

\

Kakeru: Is that right, nii-chan? Eno High is strong.
sfx: ba-bump
sfx: ba-bump
Kakeru: and the genius Araki that you acknowledged is here.

\

Kakeru: But...
Kakeru: because everyone in Kamakura is here to watch us, losing here would be...

\

Kakeru: What?!

\

???: Hey, Kunimatsu, Yuusuke.

------

(page176)

\

Kunimatsu: Ta... Takajou-san! You came!
Takajou: Yeah.

\

Guy 1: Takajou? Hey-
sfx: mutter...
Guy 2: Kamakura's ace is here!
Guys 3: What, no way! Takajou Akira from the U-19 team?!
[small text] Scoping out Keisou?

\

Kakeru: Takajou-san came!

------

(page177)

Takajou: Oh, seems like I just made it in time for the kick-off.

sfx: plop

Yuusuke/Nishijima: Sempai! [K: okay, i have no idea actually, so I half made something half referred to Chinese.]

\

Takajou: Yuusuke, where's Suguru's brother? Is he not playing?

Yuusuke: Yes. He's on the bench right now, but he'll definitely play.

\

Takajou: Is he really worth watching for me to come here?

\

sfx: thump

Takajou: I'll punch you if this game is boring, yeah?

\

sfx: ka ka ka

Yuusuke small text: Ouch...
Yuusuke: Y... yes, I think that you'll be glad you came.

\

\

Takajou: Excellent.

------

(page178)

\

Nakajima: Hey, Shimatani, the three forwards are here.

Shimatani: More important is that number 10, Nakajima.

\

Nakajima: Hey, hey, his stomach is kind of big, isn't it?
Nakajima: Their playmaker, an important part of the team, is a fatass, and have you seen their defence line?

\

Shimatani: Huh?
Shimatani: There are only two defenders? That means...

------

(page179)

Nakajima: they're 2-5-3.
Shimatani: For real?!
Nakajima: Do they really think they can stop our offence with only two defenders?

\

Shimatani: A super-attacking-type team that's full of themselves, huh?

Nakajima: Huh... they piss me off! Let's decide this game in the first half!

\

sfx: tweeeet
Narrator: Kickoff!

\

\

sfx: dash

\

Shimatani: Go,
Shimatani: Nakajima!

\

sfx: kick
Nakajima: Right! Thanks!!

------

(page180)

Kunimatsu: They're targeting the gaps in the defence.

\

Nishijima: Heh, already in trouble...

\

Takajou: I see, that's why they're playing 2-5-3... [K: as a side note, i hate people who are all like I SEE... and refuse to tell you anything for the next few chapters/volumes/ever. ALA SEVEN.]

Kunimatsu: Eh?

\

\

sfx: rush

Nakajima: Wha!

\

Horikawa: It's no use, it's no use~~~~!
sfx: dash

\

Kunimatsu: They're going to cover them. It's like they were waiting for them.

\

Yuusuke: The defenders have closed in. There's nowhere to go except the side...

------

(page181)

sfx: kick
Bubble: Shit!

\

sfx: thwap
Keisou Guy: All right!

\

sfx: bam bam [K: bam =- pop out of nowhere??]
Guy: What?! Isn't their defence supposed to be really thin?

\

Guy: Feh!
sfx: wham

\

Nishijima: They've sent up a cross! Their ace Nakajima will get it!

\

Takajou: A rabbit that falls into a trap can do nothing.

\

sfx: flash

\

sfx: flash

\

Nana: It's been going ideally so far, Coach Iwaki.
Iwaki: Yes.

------

(page182)

Bubble: Because the SC used their retreat defence at the right time,

Bubble: the opponent fell into the trap: the gap in the defence, left open on purpose.

\

Iwaki?: This formation allows the team to steal the ball and turn the attack around. It's called...

sfx Oda: crash
sfx ball: bump

Iwaki: the booby trap formation.

\

Nishijima: No... no way!

\

ODAAAAAA: WHAM

\

sfx: thump

\

Kakeru: Yes, as expected of Oda-san!
Kakeru: His pass over that distance went to Mako-san's feet perfectly!

------

(page183)

Iwaki: And now it's time for FC-style pass work, accurate yet free.

Nana: Mako-san's drawing his markers into the middle of the pitch.
And this time it's the left side that's open.

\

Nana: Yakumo-kun from the defence has overlapped and is open.

\

sfx: bump

\

Yakumo: Araki-san.
sfx: kick

\

sfx: dash

Shimatani: Fatass, you're too slow and clumsy!

------

(page184)

sfx: thump

\

Shimatani: What?!

\

Guy: Y... you!
sfx: dash

\

sfx: kick

------

(page185)

5: What's with this fatass?!

\

Kakeru: W... wow, he used his heel to kick the ball over Shimatani-san's head,

Kakeru: and then he passed it under another one!

\

\

Takajou: Araki Ryuuichi, huh... he's become so fat that he looks like a completely different person.
Ah, he made an amazing team with Suguru during training camp for the U-15 team.

Yuusuke: Ah, that makes sense.
Even though I've heard some things about him from Kakeru, he's still amazing.

\

Araki: Kaoru!
Kaoru: Okay!

\

sfx: cut [K: or slice etc]

------

(page186)

Kaoru: Hino-san!
sfx foot: kick
sfx Hino near ball: bam

Hino: Ah!

\

\

Takase: The goalie is right-handed. If it was me...

\

sfx Hino: approach
sfx goalie: rush

\

sfx: stop

\

Goalie: The other side?!
sfx: rush

\

------

(page187)

Bubble: From under?!
sfx black: kick
sfx white: rustle [K: diff from before]

\

BUbble: Goal, 1-0!
Hino: Hell yeaaaah!!

\

Kakeru: Yes!
Kouta: We scored first!

\

Nana: As expected of Hino-san.
Nana: After being blocked in similar circumstances by the goalie in the training camp,
he's immediately adjusted his shot.

\

------

(page188)

Araki: Yes! One goal to start off with!
Mako: Yeah!

\

Both: To... "to start off with"...?!

\

\

sfx: whack

\

sfx: WHAM
guy: Ugh!

\

Bubble: It's Eno High again!

\

Iwaki: Kakeru-kun, Takase-kun, and Kouta-kun, please start warming up.

Three: Eh?

------

(page189)

Iwaki: If it gets to a 3-point difference, it's fine to make a substitution in the first half. [K: i have no idea if he's talking about himself or the rules of football. The CHN version picks football. But I don't have that vibe... not to mention the fact that i'm not aware of any such substitution rule.]

\

Kakeru: Th... three-point difference?
Iwaki: Yes.

\

sfx: waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [K: continue down all over the page...]

\

Bubble: Goal!
small text: 2 goals in the first 10 minutes!!

Bubble: Araki's mid-range shoooooot!!

\

------

(page190)

Iwaki: One more goal.

Iwaki: If you don't hurry and warm up, you won't make it.

\

\

Three: Yes!

------

(4-koma) <- my personal favourite :D i'm glad i'm doing it.

Uniforms (title)

1. Iwaki: What should we do about the new team's uniforms?
Kondou: We should just use the design of your FC shirts.
small text: Teenagers like that seem to be more easily accepted.

2. Iwaki: Okay, well, I'll place orders for more FC shirts then.
Kondou: But it should be "SHI"!
Iwaki: Eh?

3. Kondou: That says "ENOSIMA"! Enosima!
Kondou: It's not "SI", but "SHI"!

4. Kondou: Ever since you established the FC 10 years ago, you've always been "Enosima FC". "Enosima FC"!
arrow: smug
Iwaki: If you knew, why didn't you tell me...
