Bokke-san 16

Single slash denotes connected bubbles, double slash denotes completely new bubbles. Equal signs ( =Like this= ) denote thoughts outside of word bubbles. Double arrows ( <<Like this>> ) denote thoughts inside thought bubbles. Squiggly lines (~Like this~) denote words or SFX outside of word bubbles, usually above a character's head or something. Let me know if there are any mistakes.

Open to anyone for scanlation purposes as long as proper credit is given.

Scanlators, SEND ME A PM if you want clarification on something or a bubble is missing, etc. I check Mangahelpers often enough to give a timely response. Quality control is everyone's friend.

EDIT: Thanks to kakashi919; I fixed the missing bubble on page 13 (I just forgot to put a double slash mark)
