In the middle of Animal Ranger play (box)

Stand up! Red! (girl A)

W-we can't afford to lose...! (Anzu)

Chapter 18 - A Hanamaru Amanojaku

[NOTE: 天の邪鬼 -> Amanojaku
(1) perverse or cussed person; contrarian;
(2) antagonistic demon in Japanese folklore;
(3) demon under the feet of temple guardian statues

I'm not too knowledgeable in Japanese folklore and in the usage of the word, so... I'm not sure which to choose]

>Panel 2
Tsucchi, you should play with us, too! (Anzu)

Kya kya (two texts near Koume's head)

Aaaahh~ (Tsucchi big text)

L-a-t-e-r~ (Tsucchi small text)


>Panel 3
The beautiful and kind homeroom teacher of the peach class, Yamamoto-sensei- // and the sad and dull game otaku of a teacher for the cherry blossom class..., huh?

Haaaa (boy text)

What is it, so out of the blue!


>Panel 4
Tsucchi is a good teacher! // He might be a sad man who play games all the time and get entranced by big boobs, but that unreliable part of his is the thing that stirs one's motherhood instinct!

I lost you? (text near Tsucchi)


>Panel 5
An example of not to be...

Fufu... (Hii-chan text)

That phrase can't be more approriate in this case.

But, Koume loves Tsuchida-sensei~

Koume!

Ah! (Anzu text)


>Panel 6
Anzu, too!

Waaah! (text near the snail)

Yamamoto-sensei, let's play tumbling daruma-san~

Okay~


hanamaru_02 111 ----------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
...moru // Mamoru!


>Panel 3
Hey, Mamoru! We're playing tag!

Are you listening? (Text)

Ah, wait for me~


>Panel 4
Ooi~ (Text at the edge of the bubble)

Boys, why don't we play tumbling daruma-san together~?


>Panel 5
O-okay...

There's no way we're playing with girls! // Mamoru, you're with us, right?


>Panel 6
Y-you're right!

Then, it'd be all girls this time~ (Yamamoto-senseh Text)

Okaaay~ (Text)


hanamaru_02 112 ----------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Mamoru, you're always watching Yamamoto-sensei! // You like Yamamoto-sensei, right?

I'm not!


>panel 2
Mamoru likes Yamamoto-sensei!

Really?

Y-you're wrong!


>Panel 3
Then, go and flip Yamamoto-sensei's skirt! // Do that and we'll believe you!

Eh...?

How could I... (Text)


>panel 4
Aah, so you do like Yamamoto-sensei...

I-I can do it!!


>panel 5
Mamoru-kun?


hanamaru_02 113 ----------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
Ah!


>Panel 3
Heeey~~~

Honestly~~~ (text)

Oooh, ruuuun!


>Panel 4
HEEEEY!!
Don't bully Yamamoto-sensei!! (handwritten text inside bubble)

We're not bullying her! (naughty boy text)


>Panel 5
Such a childish way of expressing love...
Hoh hoh hoh...

Oy... (boy text)

F-fighting is bad~~


>Panel 6
Gya gya


>Panel 7
From then on, (box)

I don't like Yamamoto-sensei!

Then, why don't you...


>Last Panel
Go, Mamoru! (bad boys text)

Waah (Yamamoto-sensei text)

Ah~ (black hair)

Hey~ (blond? hair)


hanamaru_02 114 ----------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
That's dangerous, so let's get down from there, okay~

Mamoru, you're awesome!


>Panel 2
Oo~oi, it's time to go home~, Mamoru-kuuun?

Yup, stay still just like that.

Mamoru-kuuun.


>Panel 3
I wonder if I did something wrong~?

Mamoru-kun won't listen to me recently~


>Panel 4
Boys at that age are very shy, they can't honestly express their feelings.

Fufu... (Hii-chan text)

That's so right! // Bullying a girl they like, that's just so childish!

Hah! (Anzu text)

How come you guys are the ones who do the counseling?

Is that really the case~?


>Last Panel
But, that really made Yamamoto-sensei troubled~

Thank you, Koume-chan~

That's true... (Anzu text)


hanamaru_02 115 ----------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
AH! (White Text)

If we pair those two... (Yamamoto-Mamoru)

Happyyyyyy!! (Tsucchi-Anzu)

Anzu is a genius! (Anzu)


>Panel 2
Tsucchi! Let's pair Yamamoto-sensei with Mamoru!

Kyaa (Anzu text)

Kyaa (Anzu text)

Now, that's a little problematic.


>Panel 3
Though, this is getting a little bit too far...


>Panel 4
Waa Waa Waa


>Panel 5
Haaa~... (Text)

Yamamoto-sensei is troubled...


>Panel 6
Mamoru, Mamoruuu!

Come here (text near tsucchi bubble)

Tsuchida-sensei?


>Panel 7
I'll be borrowing him for a bit!

Okaaay.


hanamaru_02 116 ----------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
We can talk privately here.


>Panel 3
You're actually don't want to trouble Yamamoto-sensei, right?

EH!?


>Panel 4
T-that's...

It's fine, no one else is listening...


>Panel 5
Tsucchi, do your best!

I'm worried...

I can't see~ (Koume text)


>Panel 6
You're just doing it because the kids around you are telling you to, right? // You actually like Yamamoto-sensei, don't you?

No...not really...


>Last Panel
I did the same thing when I was still a child, that's why I understand.

Lying to yourself is hard, right?


hanamaru_02 117 ----------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
Yes.


>panel 2
Then, you should convey your feeling-

to Yamamoto-sensei whom you love.


>Panel 3
But, everyone keeps saying that...

It's fine (text inside tsucchi bubble)

Those guys actually like Yamamoto-sensei as well, you see?

They just can't be honest~ (Text)


>Panel 4
So, that's how it is!


>Panel 5
Looks like it's going smoothly!

Right...


>Last Panel
Th...then,

what should I do to convey my feelings to Yamamoto-sensei?


hanamaru_02 118 ----------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
What should I do indeed...

Tsu...Tsuchida-sensei?


>Panel 2
You know what, I've trying to appeal to Yamamoto-sensei again and again but she just won't realize it, not at all.
While I do understand that her mind is filled with the kids, I just wish that she would care about love a little.
Aren't we at that age already? But being an airhead is part of Yamamoto-sensei's charm, so I guess I don't really want her to change that.
Still, there's a guy this close to you, how I wish she would look at me even if it's just a little. How should I call this? Man's heart?
The way of thinking of a normal guy with a normal sense, you see...

>Panel 3
Not too long ago, I even gave her movie tickets, but she responded so easily saying that I should go with the kids.
Without realizing my feeling at all, you see... Also, when the two of us went out shopping, all she talked about was
kids, kids, and kids. I also tried to casually approach her but she didn't notice in the slightest.

He did all those... (Anzu)

Now, now... (Hii)

Whaat~? (Koume)


>Panel 4 (Ahhh, the wonderful handwriting~)
...Sensei, good luck to you, too...

I'll do my best, too (Mamoru)

I want her to see me as a man, does she think of me the same as the kids... (wonderful handwriting)


>Last Panel
And then,


hanamaru_02 119 ----------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 2
I-

I like you!


>Panel 3
A-also, I'm sorry for all my pranks...


>Panel 4
...Thank you, I'm really happy.


>Panel 5
Sensei also loves Mamoru-kun.

But you know, // right now, Sensei still wants to do her best with her job.


hanamaru_02 120 ----------------------------------------------------------------
>Panel 1
...Then,


>Panel 2
I'll do my best so I can be liked as much as Sensei's job!

Like cleaning, or playing... // And I'll eat the food I don't like, too!


>Panel 3
...Of course!


>Panel 4
I like Yamamoto-sensei, so I won't bully her!

Oh, ooh...

Mamoru, you're so cool...


>Panel 5 (Hmm, should I use "dad" or "otou-san"?)
Hello...? // Ah, Dad?


>Panel 6 + last
Onee-chan? // ...Looks like she received a love letter, she's in a dream world right now.

Worried? Worried? (Text inside bubble)

WHA~~AAT~~!? // Love letter!? Hold it right there, Dad hasn't...


>Letter
To Yamamoto-sensei

Sensei, I love you.
Please be my bride.

Mamoru
