#53 Nana Mishima [the JP order is this way and it's in katakana. Probably referencing the English way to order it.]

Iwaki: This character's feelings can be compared to Beckham's, after missing a free kick. [K: WTF??]

Iwaki: This will be in the test!

\

Kakeru: I wonder what's up with Seven... She didn't come to practice at the park yesterday night either...

\

Kouta: Hey Kakeru, what's up with Nana-chan? Is it a cold?
sfx: whisper

Kakeru: No, I'm not sure.
She didn't sound like she had one on the phone last night.

\

Kouta: Huh...
small text: Must be nice to have Nana-chan's number...
Kakeru: Ah, but she'll definitely come for football team practice. [K: football club? football team? lol]
Seems like there was a huge upset in yesterday's game between Zennichi University-Affiliated High School and Tsujidou Academy. We're going to talk about it today. [K: If it's too long, I'll try to shorten it.]

\

Takase: What's this about a 'huge upset'?!
sfx: pop up
Kouta: Takase, don't be so obvious!
[small text] You're so tall!

------

(page128)

Kakeru: Zennichi University-Affiliated High are old champions, but they couldn't mark Tsujidou Academy and were destroyed.
Kakeru: As in '4-0' destroyed.

\

Guys: 4-0?!
Kakeru: Shh!

\

Iwaki: Yup... I knew there would be trouble, but I didn't think it would be 4-0...
It was the right decision to leave Kondou-sensei and Mishima-san there...

Guys: Whoa, sensei!

Kakeru: Indeed!

\

Students: Iwaki-senseeei! Please continue with the lesson!
Iwaki: Ah!
sfx: doh

\

Iwaki: Eh... th... then, please open up to page 20 of your textbook.

Kakeru: ......
I really want to hear about yesterday's Tsujidou Academy game...

\

Kakeru: What can Seven be doing...

------

(page129)

announcer: It's the Japanese national team, Nadeshiko Japan, against Miami Hurricane, an American team who placed third in last year's Soccer League, in an exhibition match!

sfx: waaaa

announcer: 0-2 down in the second half, it seems like there's going to be a substitution!

\

announcer: Number 17 of the national team, forward Ooshita, is being replaced...

announcer: by number 7, Mishima... that's right.

\

announcer: Eh... I haven't been given any information about Mishima...
She's quite young... I wonder what kind of player she is?

announcer: Number 10 Isshiki has moved up to become a forward, and it seems she's become the playmaker.

\

announcer: Isshiki was originally a forward, and she's the only one who's performed well today.

announcer: Perhaps Coach Gotou wants her to go for goals more actively.

------

(page130)

announcer: But putting a young, nameless player in the playmaker position...
It's quite unexpected.

American 10: She's pretty skinny... [K: or reedy, twiggy, scrawny etc.]

\

A10: Wonder if they sent her in to confuse us. [K: alternatively, replace 'confuse us' with 'mess us up', 'make us confused']

A10: But I think I've seen her before...

\

sfx: tweeeeet

\

Isshiki: First you have to show me that you're not just all talk, Mishima-san.

Isshiki: Otherwise you'll be putting the Coach into a difficult position, letting nameless old you join the national team.

\

Nana: I understand.

\

\

USA: She doesn't look too tough.

sfx: dash

USA: I'll go greet her with my shoulder...

------

(page131)

USA: Won't you give that to me? [K: don't ask me what language she's speaking, the font doesn't change .-.]
sfx: whoosh

\

USA: You... you're not getting away!
sfx: bang/crash/knock/push

\

sfx black: spin
sfx white: snap

\

USA: Wha... What is this girl?

\

Isshiki: Amazing! Even though the larger-built American crashed into her,

Isshiki: she took it like a willow tree swaying in the wind, and after bearing it for a moment she left her behind!

------

(page132)

Nana: Hehe... For one an a half years,
I've played against the full power of a male.

Nana: My body's become used to it!

\

USA: You-
sfx: whoo

\

announcer: Ah... Mishima gets past another one!
announcer: Wha... what is...

\

Isshiki: Her body is flexible and soft and her movements are quick and light.

Isshiki: Chasing her is just like chasing a fleeing cat: they won't catch her!

\

USAs: Defence on her!!

sfx: slice

announcer: She's... she's unstoppable! Unstoppable!

------

(page133)

Announcer: Number 7, Mishima Nana,
has passed three people just by herself!

Announcer: In just a moment she'll take the ball into the penalty area! There is a chance!!

\

USA: Th... this is bad! Another one on her!

\

Announcer: Aaaaah, but two large defenders are coming!
sfx: WHOA [maybe put it in high impact font down the first character (on the left). You can play around to truly create a WHOA effect]
USAs: We'll stop you!

\

Isshiki: Here, Mishima-san!

\

------

(page134)

sfx: [fuwa actually means 'rise in the air' or something like that, dunno how to say it though... got suggestions?] float?

\

USA: Wh...

\

------

(page135)

USA: Guh!

\

\

\

sfx: rustle

------

(page136)

\

\

\

Announcer: G... GOOOOOAAALLL!!
sfx: waaaaaaaaaaaaa

Nana: Yes!

Announcer:
It was truly... truly an artistic chip shot!!

------

(page137)

announcer: What did you think about that shot, Takeda-san?

\

Takeda: C... cute...
sfx: daze
Guy: Huh?

\

Nana: Did you see that, Isshiki-san? [K: she's not really asking her happily, it's more like a 'See? I can do it!' sort of thing, is it clear?]
Isshiki: That was amazing, Mishima-sa... no, Nana-chan!!

\

9: You can really play!
Girl: Nana-chan, was it?! That was an amazing chip!!

\

Nana: Thank you very much!! [K: yay for dots scanning error!]

\

Isshiki: But we're still 1 goal down.
And they won't let another dribble break through like that next time.
Nana: I understand.

\

Nana: But with that play...
Nana: the image of my dribble and chip shot will be imprinted in their minds.

\

Nana: So...
sfx: whisper

\

------

(page138)

Nana: I'll be counting on you, Isshiki-san!

\

Isshiki: Wh... what a girl...

\

Isshiki: All right, everyone! We still have lots of time.
We'll take charge of the game and turn it around!!

Isshiki: Let's go, Nadeshiko Japan!

9: O-KAY!
bubble: Yeah!

\

sfx: tweeeeet

\

USA: Don't worry!
USA: We're still 1 over!

\

sfx: whoosh

\

USA: This girl again?! But I've really seen...

------

(page139)

Nana: I'm taking that!
sfx: thump
USA: Shit!

\

sfx: kick

\

\

sfx: kick
6: Here!

\

\

USA: Wha!
sfx: whooosh

------

(page140)

Announcer: And the ball's back to number 7, Mishima!

Announcer: But this time she's being tightly marked. Will she be able to do a repeat performance of just now?

\

sfx: look
sfx: look

\

Isshiki: She's really an amazing girl. She doesn't have to look down at her feet to dribble at all.
She's always aware of the entire pitch, ready to seize opportunities.

\

Isshiki: She hasn't been in a team since returning to Japan.
Isshiki: How on earth did she keep up on her technique and football sense?

\

USA: Damn it... will she dribble here?
USA: Or maybe... will she do a long shot from there...

\

\

sfx: Whoosh

\

sfx: dash
USA: She's coming!! Dribbling!

------

(page141)

\

sfx: wham

\

Announcer: It may have looked like a dribble...

Announcer: but she seized the opportunity and did a pass!!

\

Announcer: The team was influenced by the image of her sudden first goal.

Announcer: The ball's cut through the defence!

------

(page142-143)

Announcer: The beautiful through pass goes through like a paintbrush on a green canvas!

Announcer: On the receiving end is number 10, Isshiki Taeko!

\

------

(page144)

sfx: tap

\

sfx: rustle

\

Announcer: GOOOOOAAALLL!!
2-2!
sfx: waaaaa

Announcer: In the 30th minute of the second half, Isshiki, Nadeshiko Japan's ace,
has scored the equalising goal!!

------

(page145)

sfx: aaaaaaaaaaaaaa (continuing cheers from previous page, waa waa works i guess)
Nana: Yeah!!

Girl: Nice one, Tae-san!!
Girl: Aah!

\

Isshiki: Nice pass, Nana-chan!
sfx: clap/slap/lol whatever...
Nana: Yes!

\

\

USA: I... I remember that girl now!
USA2: Eh?

------

(page146)

USA: That... that girl... two years ago, she was the youngest player to debut in the US league. [K: I don't know the actual name of the league, the text says 'Premier League', which smacks heavily of 'England's league is called the Premier League so let's just use that name for the US!']
She amazed everybody, finishing with a hat-trick.

USA: And when that child prodigy was just about to break the record for consecutive goals, she disappeared.

\

USA: The "Little Witch".

USA: Nana Mishima!
