96th Quarter: Give up
#aww, tsun tsun LOL [Typical Type A.] [# LOL #]


Page 02
B1: …Hell no!

B1: …Rgh

B1: She’s quite an opponent…
< Whisper >
< Sulk >

B1: Don’t say that! Please, join the basketball team.
B2: He’s totally unmoved…

B1: …Hey you, were you listening? // I don’t like basketball! // But wow, you’re tall! {My neck hurts! }
B2: But it’s not like you hate the sport, right?
B3: Well, yeah! But it’s still a no!


Page 03
B1: To be exact,
B2: I don’t like the current generation’s, especially the middle school basketball’s, overall atmosphere!

B1: Today's middle school basketball is completely dominated by Teikou middle school alone with absolutely no competition. // The players who shine in high school are also mostly their graduates.

#Hmm…I have a feeling these sentences are a bit awkward…also, can I use OB? [Nope, considering I don't know what it means. ;D]
B2: But I don’t particularly have any complaints about that.

B1: Everyone around them for some reason has given up on winning.
B2: That’s the part I really hate!

B1: I got called by a number of clubs, but
B2: I don’t planning on accepting one unless they’re seriously aiming for the top.


Page 04
B1: {Ha… } There wasn’t even room to beg…
B2: Also, that girl’s a bit scary— { She’s so sharp…}
B3: What’re you guys saying,

B1: ghosts are even scarier!
B2: No… that’s not what I meant… // what nonsense are you spouting!?

B1: Well, I was relieved that // we were the same.
B2: Basically, she doesn’t like half-assed people, right? #or lukewarm/wishy-washy

B1: Huh? // Am I wrong?
B2: No… you’re right!


Page 05
B1: Then our problem is, how are we going to convey our seriousness to her…?
B2: Well, let’s all brainstorm on that later.

B1: U—m… about that… I wonder...?
B2: Mm?
B3: Aida’s personality is exactly what you’ve said, but…

B1: When Hyuga was in middle school, he used to work out in Aida’s gym right after practice, // so she’s the one who watched him train the most.
B2: Although she wasn’t really lying,

B1: it sounded like she was talking about Hyuga.
BOX: In the end, he didn’t skip #LOLOLOL


Page 06
B1: Damn, // you little shit!

B1: K∙O !!
B2: Argh- shit!! { I can’t even get past round 2!! }
B3: What’re you doing here?

B1: Ah---!?

B1: Riko…

{ Pffff!! La... really, your hair’s so lame!! }
{ HEY!!!}

B1: During lunch, Izuki-kun dropped by… // with some weird giant,
B2: and they’re apparently making a basketball team?
B3: Ah— apparently so.

B1: Compared to them, you’re pretty lazy. #or should we go with “you’ve got no life”? think it conveys the same thing.
B2: Wha… I’ve got tons of stuff I want to do!
B3: Playing games, reading manga…
B4: Anything else?


Page 07
B1: Also, these days, Medieval armor is pretty hot!
{ This is Date Masamune, }
{ the figure he just bought. }
B2: It’s fine, but is this a type of hobby for people with that hair?

B1: You only look like you’re forcing yourself.
B2: Huh?

B1: It’s not that you’re full of stuff you want to do,
B2: you just don’t know what to do.

B1: Eh? // Position?


Page 08
B1: I’m Point Guard, Hyuga’s Shooting Guard.
B2: Mitobe is... what was that… Power Forward?

B1: I wanna do Side Back!
{ Me, me! }
B2: Yeah, yeah, Koganei-kun can choose one later, okay!

B1: Since when did we get such a position!?
{ For real!!}
B2: There isn’t one! You’re so irritating!!

B1: To be honest, I think Hyuga was quite a capable shooter.
B2: But the reason we couldn’t win despite that is his teammates'... our lack of strength.

B1: Hmm... but he says doesn’t want to, right?
B2: No… I won’t give up on getting him.

B1: Not just to fill the numbers,
B2: but I want him to join us for real.

B1: 'Cause more than anyone else, he…
B2: Geh-


Page 09
B1: Ah-

< DASH!! >
{ So fast!! }

B1: Sorry, can you guys pay for me? // I’ll pay tomorrow!

B1: Hey— is he really that amazing?
B2: Mm? At least…

{ Wait! }
{ Let’s go back together}
{ Huh!? // No way!! }
B1: for now, looks like he’s quite fond of him. #or “looks like he’s quite fond of him”

{ Huh-? this place doesn’t have any Gochujang*? }
{ Got-you-dang?} #Wonder if this makes any sense [No worries.]
{ Hey! }
*TL NOTE: Gochujang is referring to the Korean condiment. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gochujang

B1: Hey? What’s wrong?

B1: No… wasn’t that… // Extremely funny!?
B2: Huh!? // Izuki-kun, your sense of humor is so off.


Page 10
B1: I’m back.
B2: He-y, you’re pretty early today.

{ Can you join the basketball team? }

B1: You’re still trying? You really don’t know when to stop.
B2: It’s for stamina! // I need to be able to run even more.


Page 11
B1: Stupid.

B1: Did you just say something?
B2: Mm? // No, I didn’t say anything…

B1: Regardless, where are we going!? // We’re totally far from my way home!

B1: I’m telling you, I won’t play basketball!
B2: I know, // so I won’t say it anymore.

B1: …Eh?
B2: We’re here. // …However,


Page 12
B1: I'll only stop if you beat me one-on-one.


Page 13
B1: …What...

B1: what the heck is that? Listen to me already!
B2: In the first place, aren’t you the Kiyoshi from Shouei middle school, one of the best 4 in the country!? // There’s no way I can win!

B1: …I know.
B2: So if you can make at least one basket, it’s your win.

B1: Or... // do you need me to have a bigger handicap? #or “do you need more handicap?”

B1: Shut up.
B2: I don’t know if you’re “Iron Heart” or whatever, but don’t get so cocky.


Page 14
B1: Don’t you dare look down.
B2: I’ll take one basket in an instant.


Page 15
[Don’t you love these pages? ] [Nice and quiet, yeah.]


Page 16
B1: WHAT!!

B1: I’m not done yet!!

B1: …

B1: Hyuga… give up already.
B2: SHUT UP!!


Page 17
B1: You’re wrong,
B2: trying to give up // basketball.

B1: I won’t say anything if you sincerely hate basketball. // But deep inside, you…
B2: Shut up! // There’s a different between gifted people like you and normal people!

B1: Whether you have talent or not doesn’t matter.
B2: Both you and I are the same.

B1: At least, I too…


Page 18
B1: tasted despair, when I fought
B2: Teikou’s genius.

B1: I thought of throwing away my basketball shoes numerous times…
B2: but no matter how many times I tried, I just couldn’t let them go from my hands.

B1: This one-on-one too, if you didn’t want to, you could’ve just walked away. // But the fact that you’re taking it so seriously shows how much you treasure the sport.

B1: You’re the same as me. // …No, more than I do,

B1: you like basketball.


Page 19
B1: Shut up! Don’t talk as if you know everything!
B2: I know that already.

B1: That's why every day without basketball is so damn boring! #or “that is why I’m so bored everyday!” I’m not sure which phrase delivers more force. [Changed the phrase a bit to give it more power] [# Thaannnk You as usual ;) #]
