Girl：　あーっ
やば！　トイレットペーパー補充すんの忘れてた
Ahh!
Oh, no! I forgot to refill the toilet paper.

Girl：　あんた保健委員だっけ？
Are you a member of the health committee?

Girl：　保健室行かなきゃ
やだなぁ
I have to go to the infirmary.
I don't want to.

Girl：　あの先生子供のメシが大好物ってウワサだよ！
There's a rumor that the teacher's favorite food is children's fingernails!

Touya：　・・・俺代わりに行こうか？
How about I go instead?

Girl：　えっ？
あっ
鏑木くん！
Eh?
Ahh!
Kaburagi-kun!

Touya：　なんつー噂だよ
失礼します
What kind of a rumor is that?
Excuse me.

One of the kids：　ん？
Hmm?

Kaburagi：　あっ！
Ah!

Title：　目指せ男前！？
Aim to be a Hot Guy?!

Fuji/Ashitaba/Mimasaka：　へーっ
Huuuh?

Mimasaka：　シンヤに弟なんていたのかよ
あんまり似てねーな
Shinya had a little brother?
They don't really look alike.

Hades-sensei：　そうか　みんなは面識なかったんだね
That's right, they aren't acquainted with you.

Touya：　鏑木刀哉です・・・
I'm Kaburagi Touya...

Hades-sensei：　ちょっと待ってね　今お茶を淹れるから・・・
Hang on just a moment. I'm making tea right now.

Touya：　あっ　おかまいなく
俺トイレの紙取りに来ただけなんで
Ah, don't bother.
I'm just here to get toilet paper.

Fuji：　しかしよぉ　鏑木の弟っつーともっとゴリラみたいな奴のイメージだけど
意外と大人しそうな感じなのな
But...Kaburagi's brother has an image of being a more gorilla-like guy.
Surprisingly, he seems like he's a quiet person.

Kaburagi：　どういう意味よ！
What's that supposed to mean!

Ashitaba：　確かに真逆のイメージではあるよね
鏑木さんはハツラツとしてるけど弟くんはクールそうな雰囲気だし
He does have an image that's the complete opposite.
Kaburagi-san bounces around but her younger brother seems to have a calmer way about him.

Touya：　な・・・
Wha...

Mimasaka：　てんでヒヨワそーなモヤシ小僧じゃねーか
本好といい勝負だぜ
He's pretty much a weak-looking beansprout boy, isn't he?
He's a good match for Motoyoshi.


Page 4
Kaburagi：　ちょっとやめてよ　みんな！
刀哉は男らしくないって思われるのを気にしてるのよ！
あれっ？
ちょっと！　どこ行くのよ　刀哉
刀哉ってば～！
Hey, stop it, everyone!
Touya is worried about not seeming manly!
Huh?
Hey! Where are you going, Touya?
Touya!

Ashitaba：　今の・・・完全に鏑木さんがトドメだったよね
Kaburagi-san completely put the finishing blow on that just now.

Mimasaka：　ちょっとからかうつもりが悪いコトしたな・・・
We just wanted to have a little fun with him but it turned out bad...

Hades-sensei：　刀哉くんが男らしくないなんて別に思わないけどね
ああまで気にする理由があるとしたらやっぱり・・・
I don't really think that Touya-kun isn't manly but
If he really does have a reason for being so worried about it...

Kaburagi：　変なの
恥ずかしいのかしら・・・
It's weird...
I wonder if he was embarrassed...


Page 5
Fuji：　お前弟のためにももっと女らしくなってやれよ
You should be more girly for your brother.

Kaburagi：　なっ・・・
なによ　急に！
一応　料理の方はカレーから洗剤の味がしなくなるくらいにはレペルアップしてるんだからね！
Wha...
What's that all of a sudden!
I've leveled-up in my cooking to the point where my curry doesn't taste like washing detergent.

Mimasaka：　やっとスタートラインか・・・
Is she finally at the starting line...?

Senoo：　おい刀哉！
お前　なんかあったのか？
スゲーパンチきいたツラしてんぞ
Hey, Touya!
Did something happen with you?
You're makin' a face like someone slugged the shit outta you.

Touya：　は？
別に・・・いつものことだよ　またねーちゃんが余計なことを言・・・
Huh?
Nothing, really...just the same old thing. My sister was saying too much again -

Senoo：　姐さんがなんだって？
What's that about Ane-san?

Touya：　あ・・・
ダメだ・・・隠れて悪口言うのは男のやることじゃない・・・
いや・・・な・・・なんでもない・・・
リュウキさあ
お前「男らしさ」って何だと思う？
Ahh...
I shouldn't...putting down on other people behind their backs isn't something a man does.
No, it's...it's nothing...
Hey, Ryuuki...
What do you think "manliness" is?

Senoo：　はァ？
Huh?


Page 6
Senoo：　そりゃあもちろん
女にナメられねーことだよ
Well, of course
It's not getting put down on by women.

Touya：　じゃーお前ダメじゃん！
In that case, you really are useless.

Senoo：　っだと　テメー　コラァ！
俺がいつ女にナメられたってんだ？
...the fuck did you say, hey!
You sayin' I get put down on by women?

Touya：　ああ　もうごめんごめん　冗談だよ！
・・・ったくリュウキに聞くんじゃなかったよ
Ahh, jeez, sorry, sorry. It was a joke.
Man, I shouldn't have asked Ryuuki...

Ashitaba：　お・・・男らしさ？
コーヒーをブラックで飲むとか・・・？
M...manliness?
Like...drinking your coffee black...?

Mimasaka：　「絶対おかわり」だな
あと出されたメシは死んでも残すな
It's "always getting seconds."
And don't leave any of the food you're served behind, even if it kills you.

Fuji：　細けーことは気にしない
だな
It's not giving a crap over
Small stuff.

Motoyoshi：　「美っちゃん」
"Micchan."

Yodobashi：　「野心」だな
邪魔なものはどんな手を使ってでも叩き潰す！
It's "ambition."
I'll do whatever I have to to destroy things that are in my way!

Tobioka/Karube：　バスケ　サッカ
Basketball Soccer
[Note to Muda: their text overlaps, as you'll probably notice, so I guess just make it overlap in English too.]


Page 7
Hades-sensei：　うーん　「男らしさ」・・・？　難しいね・・・
僕は「思いやり」かな・・・？
Hmm, "manliness"...? That's a tough one...
For me, it's "consideration" perhaps...?

Touya：　なんか深い・・・！
That's kinda deep...!

Hades-sensei：　そ・・・そうかな
モヤッとした回答でごめんね・・・
こんなこと聞くってことは
やっぱり昼間のこと気にしてるのかな
P...perhaps...
Sorry for such a confusing answer...
Are you asking something like that
Because you really are worried about what happened this afternoon?

Touya：　ねーちゃん・・・過保護ですよね　俺に対して
Nee-chan...is too overprotective when it comes to me.

Hades-sensei：　そうだね
それだけ君が大事なんだよ
True.
That's only because you're very important to her.

Touya：　常伏中に来るまではねーちゃん絡みでケンカに巻き込まれたりすることもあったんで
ねーちゃんが過保護になるのも仕方ないとは思うんです
でも・・・
Until she came to Tokofushi middle school, Nee-chan would get mixed up in stuff and get me dragged into fights...
I think it was inevitable that she'd become overprotective.
But...


Page 8
Touya：　だからって手を繋ぎたがったり荷物をことごとく持ちたがったり車道側歩きたがったりするのはなんか違うでしょう！
幼児か俺は！
あ！
しまった　ついグチを・・・！
えっと
今のは・・・その・・・！
But it's not like she has to hold my hand, hold all of my bags, and walk on the side with the road!
Am I a child?!
Ah!
Oh, no, I said something bad without meaning to...!
Um...
Just now...that's...!

Kaburagi in background：　包丁はあぶないから触っちゃダメよ刀哉！
Knives are dangerous so you can't touch them, Touya!

Touya in background： どの口か？
You think you have the right to say that?

Hades-sensei：　ふふふふ了解
聞かなかったことにしておくよ・・・
Fufufufu, I understand.
I'll just pretend like I never heard it...

Touya：　と・・・とはいえ「嫌だからやめろ」って言うのもなんか違うと思うんです
そういうの「必要ない」って気付かせないと意味がないし・・・
リュウキみたいな髪型にしてみようかな・・・
安直ですかね・・・
A...although, it's not like I can just say, "I don't like it so stop it!"
There's no point if I don't get her to realize that that kind of thing isn't necessary.
Maybe I should try doing my hair like Ryuuki's...
That's easy...


Page 9
Hades-sensei：　か・・・髪型・・・
変えたいの・・・？
Y...you...
Want to change your hairstyle...?

Touya：　え？
変な店・・・
でもハデス先生がすすめてくれた所だし・・・
Eh?
What a strange shop...
But this is the place that Hades-sensei recommended to me...

Hades-sensei：　普通の美容院とはちょっと違うから
君の悩みの力になってくれるかもしれないような気がしないでもない・・・
It's just a little different than ordinary salons.
I don't feel like they mihgt not be able to help you with your problems...

Touya：　何か他とは違うんだろうな　多分・・・
よ・・・よし・・・
There's probably something else different about it...
He...here goes...

Keiichi：　らっしゃァせ～
Welcome!


Page 10
Keiichi：　お客さんせっかく来てくれたトコなんだがよ
今店長が留守なんだよな
悪ィけど待つか出直すかしてもらわねェと・・・
You came all the way here, sir, but
The shop manager is out at the moment.
I'm sorry but you're gonna have to wait or come back again...

Touya：　お・・・
男臭い！
He...
He reeks of manliness!

Text：　タバコ
ハデなジャケット
色黒筋肉質
全体的に暑苦しい
がに股短足
臭そうなサンダル
Cigarette
Gaudy jacket
Dark-skinned and muscular
Looks suffocatingly passionate overall
Bowed, short legs
Smelly-looking sandals

Touya：　も・・・もしかしてハデス先生が言ってたのはこのことなのか・・・？
この人に聞けば男らしさの真髄に一歩近づけるかも・・・！
あ・・・あのっ・・・そ・・・
相談があるんですけど・・・
C...could this be what Hades-sensei was talking about...?
If I ask this guy, I could be one step closer to the true meaning of manliness!
Uh...um...I...
I have something to ask you...


Page 11
Touya：　ただいま
I'm home.

Kaburagi：　あっ　刀哉！　も～心配させないでよ
なかなか帰ってこないから私捜しに行こうかと・・・
お・・・も・・・
えっ？
ちょっと　どうしたのよ　その頭！
Ah, Touya! Jeez, don't worry me like that!
You didn't come home so I was thinking to going
To look for...
Eh?
Hang on, what's with your hair!

Touya：　ん？
この「男前カット」が何か？
Hmm?
Something wrong with my "hot guy cut"?

Kaburagi：　何よ　そのうさんくさいカット
What's with that shady haircut?

Touya：　友達になった美容師さんにやってもらったんだ
タダで
I got it done by a stylist I made friends with.
For free.

Kaburagi：　タダ？
なんかどっかで見たことある髪形だな・・・
ふーん・・・？
まあいいけど・・・
Free?
I feel like I've seen that hairstyle somewhere before...
Hmm?
Well, whatever...


Page 12
Kaburagi：　でも似合ってなーい
全然刀哉らしくないわよ
前の方が可愛くて私は好き
But it doesn't suit you.
It's not like you at all.
I like the cute one you had before.

Touya：　な・・・何が「可愛い」だよ・・・
ホメ言葉だとでも思ってんのか！
Wha...what's "cute"...
Do you think that's a compliment?!

Disease demon：　悪いのは姉ちゃんじゃあねえ・・・
似合わねェのはてめェがラクして欲しい物手には入れようとしたツケだろうが
男らしさってのは一朝一夕で手に入るモンじゃねえ・・・
俺について来い坊主・・・！
俺の名は
The one in the wrong here isn't your sister.
It not suiting you is what you get for trying to get what you want the easy way.
Manliness isn't something you can get overnight.
Come with me, boy.
My name is


Page 13
Disease demon：　「男気（ハードロック）」・・・
Hard Rock -
[Kanji reads "chivalry."]

Touya：　うわーっ！
Uwaaah!

Kaburagi：　ちょ　ちょっと　何？　今の声
刀哉？
He-hey, what was that voice just now?
Touya?

Touya：　あ・・・
な・・・なんでもない・・・
今の・・・
病魔・・・？
先生が言ってた・・・病魔は人の悩み迷いに呼ばれてやってきて
弱った精神（こころ）につけこんで精神（こころ）を支配しようとする
弱い精神（こころ）・・・
Ah...
N...nothing...
Just now...
Was that a disease demon...?
Sensei said...disease demons are invited in by a person's worries and doubts...
They take advantage of weakened minds and try to take control of them...
A weak mind...


Page 14
Touya：　病魔（そんなやつ）が俺の前に現れるってことは・・・
俺メンタル弱いってこと・・・？
うーん男らしくないな・・・
いや・・・でも・・・
あの時みたいなハマリ方はしない　今の俺なら・・・
Someone like him appearing in front of me...
Does that mean I have a weak mind...?
Hmm, that's not really manly...
No...but...
I won't get wrapped up in it the same way I did last time. If it's me as I am now...

Disease demon：　やってみなくちゃ わからねェなら・・・
やってみんのが男ってモンだろ
違うかい？
If you don't know until you try...
Doing it is what being a man's about.
Am I wrong?

Girl：　ねぇ・・・
アレ・・・誰？
Hey...
Huh...who is that?

Girl：　鏑木くん？
Kaburagi-kun?

Text：　こうして刀哉は病魔にそそのかされるまま
意味も無く屋上にいる
バウムクーヘンをはがして食べる
全校生徒の前でバンド演奏する構想にふける
雨粒をよける訓練にはげむ
死の境地からアリを救う
次々と「男らしい行動」を実践していった
昼休み
And so while Touya was being led on by the disease demon
On the rooftop for no reason
Peel a baumkuchen and eat it
Get lost in the idea of performing in a band in front of the entire school
Work hard on practicing avoiding raindrops
Save ants from death
He practiced "manly behaviors" one-by-one.
Lunch break

Touya：　が・・・
学ランが暑い・・・！
ずっと眉間にシワ作ってんのも疲れてきたし・・・
男らしくいるのって結構辛いな・・・
ふー・・・
Ga...
Gakuran are hot...!
I'm tired of keeping my forehead wrinkled...
Being manly is really hard...
Phew...

Senoo：　よー刀哉　昼メシ行こうぜ！
Hey, Touya, let's go eat lunch!

Touya：　あ・・・ああ
今行く・・・
Ah...yeah...
I'm coming right now.

Boy：　うおおおっ・・・
Ohhhhh!


Page 19
Boy：　刀哉の弁当パねェー！
Touya's bentou is amazing!

Boy：　米　何合あんだこれ？
How many servings of rice is that?

Boy：　お前　これ全部オカズ無しかよ！
You're gonna have all that without a side dish?!

Text：　男の心得第２１条　白米をこよなく愛すべし
Man tip #21: you should really love rice.

Touya：　問題ない
Not a problem.

Boy：　なんか　今日の刀哉カッケーな
Wow, you're pretty cool today, Touya.

Senoo：　渋いよな！
Really cool!

Touya：　みんなにカッコいいって言われるのは嬉しいけど・・・
正直そろそろ限界だ　いや・・・でも弱音吐くなんて・・・
おかず欲しい・・・
I'm happy to be called cool by everyone but...
Honestly, I'm just about at my limit here. Well...but, complaining about stuff...
I really want a side dish...

Girl：　キャー！
私のメロンパンがっ・・・
カラスにぃー！
Kyaaah!
My melon bread
Was taken by a crow!

Boy：　あらら
Oh, man.

Senoo：　ったく　しょーもねーことで騒ぐんじゃねーよ
えっ
Jeez, it's not worth makin' a fuss over.
Eh?

Text：　女の為に命を賭けるべし
You should risk your life for a woman.

Boys：　刀哉ーっ！
Touyaaaa!

Touya：　ひいいいっ
Hiiiiii!

Disease demon：　いいね・・・ロックだぜ　坊主・・・！
てめェも中々「男気」ってヤツが備わってきたな
Good...it's rock, boy!
You're getting the hang of what they call "chivalry!"

Touya：　お・・・お　おい　なんてことさせんだよっ！
お前これなんとかできるのか？
H...h...hey! What the hell are you making me do!
Can you do anything about it?

Disease demon：　ん？
出来ねぇよ
男の心得第２３条・・・
Huh?
I can't do that.
Man tip #23...

Hades-sensei：　「死ぬ時は渦中で」
か？
"When you die, it'll be in the middle of turmoil."
Right?

Disease demon：　おっと・・・正解だ
やるねェ
Yep, that's right.
Let's do it.


Page 21
HS：　そりゃあどうも
Well, thank you.

Touya：　・・・せっ・・・
先生～っ！
Se...
Sensei!

Hades-sensei：　まったく・・・
Oh, man...

Touya：　むぎゅっ
Ooof!


Page 22
Hades-sensei：　君は
病魔の怖さをよく知っていると思っていたけどな
I had thought
You knew all about disease demons.

Touya：　ご・・・
ごめんなさい・・・
その・・・つい・・・こ
今度は・・・いけると思ってしまったというか・・・
I...
I'm sorry...
It's just...without meaning to...this...
This time...I thought that I could do it...

Hades-sensei：　言い訳は男らしくないね
Excuses aren't manly, you know.

Touya：　う・・・
Uh...

Hades-sensei：　理想を追い求めるのはとてもすばらしいことだけど
無理したって結局は身に付かないんだよね・・・
小さくても出来ることからでいいんだよ・・・例えばその
髪型からとかでもね
しかしよりによって「男前カット」とは・・・
鈍の奴他になんとかならなかったのか？
It's really wonderful to pursue your dreams but...
You don't get anything out of it in the end by overdoing it.
Even if it's something small, it's good just because you can do it. For example...
Your haircut.
But of all things, a "hot guy cut..."
Wasn't there anything else Niburu could have done?

One of the kids：　失礼しまーす！
Excuuuse us!

Touya：　あ・・・
Ah...


Page 23
Kaburagi：　刀哉？
ちょっと　どうしたのよ　その傷！
Touya?
Hey, what's with those cuts!

Touya：　こ・・・これは・・・その・・・
We-well...that's...

Kaburagi：　ねーちゃんに見せなさい！
Let me see!

Fuji：　先生　お茶～
Sensei, tea...

Ashitaba：　相変わらずだねぇ・・・
Everything the same as always...

Hades-sensei：　この傷でこの様子じゃ・・・
屋上から飛び下りたことは黙っといた方がいいな・・・
With those wounds and how things are going...
It's best if I just keep quiet about him jumping off the roof...

Touya：　なんでもないってば！
I said it's nothing!

Kaburagi：　なんでもないことないでしょ！
It is not!

Touya：　・・・い・・・
いつか話すよ　きっと・・・
今度は・・・
笑い話しとして
I'll...
I'll tell you someday, without a doubt.
Next time...
As something to laugh about.

Text：　だが早速龍黄にばらされた
But immediately, Ryuuki let her know.

Touya：　なんで言っちゃうんだよ　バカ！
Why did you say something, you idiot!

Senoo：　そりゃ　言うだろ！　バカはお前だっての
Of course I would! You're the idiot!
