-Will the last year of high school fly on by, or be another stale, wretched one...?
-It's all up to how our class change turns out
-Yeah, I hope we're still in the same class...
box lower right: Kumano Kumami
box left: Hisai Hisae (t/n - impossible names...)
board: (cut off)-year class list (skull)

-Ah! We're in the same class again!
-The Legend is here!!
-The Legendary Class changer, Futami is here!!
-Everyone, outta his way!

-Eh? Legend? The heck is that?
-Wha? Are you kidding me?? Hurry, over here!
-He's the living class change legend!

-He has the devil's luck! No matter what, he always ends up in a class full of beautiful girls!
-Because he's never had a girlfriend for even one second, he's also known as "the Girlfriend hunter!!" Not a single person has ever gotten better classes than him!

-What kind of pathetic legend is that?!

-Pardon me
-his breath stinks!
-Ooh! The legend is reading the list!!
-We're going to get to see his power!!

03
-Here I gooooo!!
-This is our senior year class list! Now's the time
box: futami iwahito
-to pour everything i've got into this!! VWOOOOOOO--found it!
board title - 3rd year class list (skull)
(t/n - 3rd year because they're going into senior year)

-Now to check that the rest of the class is girls!! VWOOOOOOO!!! ehehe
-What the hell is he doing?
-He's making sure his class contains all the beautiful girls in one glance! That's the "Legend Search"!!

-HELL YEAAAAAAH!!!
-He raised his right hand to the sky!
-That means he must have made it into a class full of girls again!!
-Wow, a true legend!!

-That's his sign of victory! The "Legend Right"!!
-What amazing spirit in the face of the final class change! His voice wasn't muffled in the slightest!
昨年までは声こもってたの！
こもりにこもってたわ！
-But he's always had a muffled voice
-Like he's speaking through a pillow!

-It's too early to be announcing victory...
-What!? Who's there!?

-Your class...seems to have a lot of delinquents!! ku ku ku
-Y-you're ...Isobe!!!

04
-Oh no! That's Isobe, "the man afraid of nothing"!
-He always ends up in a class without delinquents! He's the #2 class changer!!
-But why is he taking on the Legend!?
-I'm wondering why you know so much about this, Kumami...

-That attitude...I take it you've ended up in another class that's delinquent-free?
-But you really think that's enough to defeat me?
-Ku ku...you're right, that alone isn't enough...
-But your class...it's missing the 2nd cutest girl out of all the juniors, Kawagoe-san! ...am I right?
-S-so what!!

-That may have been an unexpected turn of events but my class is still all cute girls!
-Just because your class has no delinquents...no!
-Don't tell me...!

-That's right!!
-My class..

-not only has 0 delinquents, but Kawagoe-san too!!
-UUGYAAAAAAA!!

-cough...T-this can't be! Me? Losing!?
-Isobe...Any more than this is...cough...
-Doesn't he have any weaknesses? couuugh
-He's coughing a lot
-That's the "Legend Cough"!!

05
-Isobe...just which class is yours?
-As a present before your decent to the underworld, it's the third!
-3!

-I've got to find his weakness...!
-Third class, third class...Ah, Kawagoe-san is there indeed...
-Damn! Why couldn't she have just been forced to repeat last grade!?
bottom: Hm? One of the boys in his class...that's...!

-Aw, you were so close Isobe
-What?!
-There's a guy called Kuwana in your class
-Kuwana? He's got nothing special...

-Yes, Kuwana-kun is certainly normal!
-But I know, since I was in his class last year!
-Eat this!

-Kuwana's brother is in a biker gang!
-dobugyaaaaaa!

-guuaaaa
-That was nothing!!
-Ah! He withstood the attack!

-To think he had a brother like that...
-That certainly is shocking...but he's just a relative! He has nothing to do with my class!

-fufu
-You're finished now, Isobe!
-What!?

06
-Kuwana-kun started dying his hair gray like his brother after the start of 3rd year!
top pic: End of 2nd year
bottom pic: 3rd year
-fugugiaaaaaaa

-How frightening...Kuwana-kun...
-Uwoooo! Go futami!!
-Futami the legend won!!
-Pray that he mends his ways, in hell!

-The Legend is actually exhausted! This could get bad!
-Eh? why?

-There's no way that the other leading class changers will miss this opportunity
-now that there's a chance to defeat the Legend!
-Eeeeeh? There's even more people getting worked up over nothing?!

-kikiki...you're looking pretty bad there, Futami...
-Ngh! ...who is it this time?

-Aaaah! That's...Hamashima, the "speed star"!!
-Here since 6!
-He moves at godlike speed, arriving at school sooner than anyone the day the class list is posted, just so he can see it first!

07
-Hamashima...you said you were here since 6?
-There's no way something that trivial can beat being in the class with all the beautiful girls
-kikiki....you're off guard, Futami!

-They don't call me the Speed Star for nothing!
-I bet you're thinking of some silly morning time that people would start training at!
-N-no, it can't be!

-I've been here since 6PM yesterday!!
-fushigiaaaaa!

-Cough...not bad...attacking me with a time difference...
-Such an attack even exists?!
-kyaaakyakya! There's no one who can keep up with my speed!

-Not so fast! I've seen through your trick!

-You have no sense of time!!
-Uguuuuuu!!

-Ha! I saw your attack coming!!
-He-he survived it!? Impossible!!

08
-Use your head! Would I, so obsessed over speed...
-Dare to waste my time?!
-Well...then what did you do until the list was put up!?

-I read manga!!
-uhigaaaaaa

-Cough cough...Hamashima...you're a formidable opponent...not only fast, but fearfully calculating...
-kiikikiki! Kazama Suzume-sensei's "Melon-bread message" was really funny!
-I'm going to tell the fourth class all about it!
-4!?

-Class 4...tell me his weakness, class listing!!
-Class 4, class 4...
-Damn, it's full of cute girls...why couldn't every one of them have just dropped out!?
-Then, what about the guys...hm?

-The guys!!
-T-this is...!!

-Your class is nothing but delinquents!!!
-hangyaaaaa!!!

09
-You got me where it hurts....!!
sign: Class Change High
-Amazing! Futami wins again!
-His legend will never die!

-How sorry for you...pray that you don't become the class slave!
-and that they won't be able to pick up any of the girls!
-How ruthless!
-That's his legendary ruthlessness!

-Looks like it's finally my turn
-Who!?
-Ah!! Up there! He's....

-Matsuzaka! He has the power to always get into a class with a caring teacher!
-Otherwise known as "Open-your-heart-to-me Matsuzaka"! Even the Legend is in danger, to have to fight him in that shape!

-fufufu Hey Futami. Wanna hear what teacher I got this year?
-Damn, he's confident...Why you!

-It seems he's got another compassionate teacher this year...This is bad! If he announces it now...
-Even though I'm still standing, I'll be blown away for sure!
-I have to land the first hit!
-EAT THIS, MATSUZAKA!

-Your teacher loves to knead ground meat between their fingers!!
-pyupyu...

10
-Oh no! It didn't have any effect! The Legend's attack was clearly just a wild guess!
-He must have messed up because he attacked while his body's wracked with pain!
-So wild guesses don't work?

-How pathetic, Futami! It's time for me to end this!
-Eek!
-The teacher in charge of our class is the same as the one I had last year and the year before!

-Not only empathetic but also gorgeous, the lovely Nakagawa-sensei!!
-Himogyaaaaaaa

-Cough cough cough!! Nakagawa-sensei...yes, she's certainly an amazing teacher...
-Perhaps the best in our school...
-What!? Why are you still standing!!
-He-he's not out yet!! That last attack was supposed to do it!

-Nakagawa-sensei was married at the end of last year...
-Plus, she was always talking about how much she wanted kids...
-S-so what if she did!

-There's a chance she might go on maternity leave!!
small: take care everyone!
-Iyagyaaaaa

11
-Gnghhhh....to think that far ahead...as I'd expect from the Legend
-I didn't think about anything but getting the teacher I wanted!
-This is the end!
-The teacher who would likely replace her during the leave...

-May not open up to you at all!!
small: hmm...well, good luck with that
-Gugyagyaaaaa!!

-I'm finished...to think I might get a cold and distant teacher...
-Even the formidable "open-your-heart-to-me Matsuzaka" lost...?!
-But look at his breathing! Surely one more attack would defeat the Legend!

-Honestly I'm sick of this...are there any more? Amazing class changers or whatever they are?
-Well, most of the big names are already done...
-Thank goodness
-But there are still others...
-Eee~~~~~h!!

-Over there is the "Study-holic Nagashima" who does nothing but cram and hopes to get into a quiet class...but he seems down
-Then...it must mean that this year is a failure

-I'm stuck in a cheerful, lively class...
-What's wrong with that!! Go make friends or something!

-And over there's the guy who'd always get into the class with the most spirit, "Festival Aoyama"...
-But he also seems depressed...

-I can't believe I'm stuck in the class with all the shifty-eyed, suspicious-acting people...
-Poor thing! To think there's that many of those people at our school...

12
-Ah...well at least all this strange class change shouting is over
-Not yet...from here out's the real deal
-What? There's still someone out there?
-Please! Give me a suggestion I can use, like club activities or something enthusiastic!
-You're kidding...

-The only ones left who can defeat the Legend
-is us!
-U-uh....ge~~~h!! Oh no...no wonder you knew so much about this stuff!!

-Hold it right there, Futami!
-Lemme goooo!!!
-Nm. You two are the ones from before...

-We are nameless warriors
-I'm no warrior!!
-We've finally found the power to defeat you!
-What did you say!?
-Don't include me in this!!
-We...

-are the best of friends, who have always gotten the same class together!!
-What's with those hands!?
-Umegiaaaaaa

-We did it! We defeated the legend!!
-Y-you dragged me into this...
black: A victory...for friendship...?!
-Why couldn't those two have just dropped out as well?
-Ah, well if one of them would go out with me, that would be fine then too
box: And that's how the two of us came to be known as "The Legendary Friends Kumano & Hisai"

Chapter 168
[b]Shotoku Taishi's[/b] own wooden stick
small: Title by masuda kousuke
white: He's looking for a stick!?

box: Japanese envoy to China, [b]Ono no Imoko[/b]
-The prince is in such low spirits...
-I'm so depressed...
box: The Almost fair-skinned Shoutoku Taishi

-What's wrong, your highness? Is your spine broken or something like that?
-With serious injury like that I wouldn't just be depressed!!
-I lost my stick! It's really important to me!

-Eh...you mean...you've...uh...been castrated?
-Why...why would you do that?
-NO!!! It's a wooden stick! You know, it's that thing you think of when you say Shoutoku Taishi!!
-Oh, you mean that one...

-But prince, you don't usually carry it around in the first place
-Well, carrying it around doesn't serve a single useful purpose
-But then I realized that having it makes me feel important so when I decided to carry it around for the first time in a while, it was gone!!

14
-I wonder where it went...I even remember decorating the top of my Christmas tree with it last year...
small: damnit! it's too plain!!
-Then, maybe that's where you left it?

-But I also remember using it to deflect the beans during setsubun* this year!
small: stop it stop it stop it!
-If you can remember that well you should know where it is!
*(t/n - to make more sense of it: setsubun = dividing the seasons. traditionally end of winter is the new year people would participate in a ritual to ward away all of the prior year's evil - mamemaki, or bean throwing. Typically the beans are thrown at the front door, but in this case they can also be thrown at someone who is the "oni" and driven out of the house, symbolically ridding the evil. don't look at me, i don't make this stuff up. for more, wiki: [b]setsubun[/b])

-But then, I received a clump of 10 beans each to my eyes!
small right: supopopo
small left: OWowowow
-And in a fit of anger split my sick in two...
small right: why you little...!!
small left: OWowowow

-And I threw the pieces into a river
-Disappear, along with setsubun and Valentine's day!!

-SO YOU THREW IT AWAY IN THE RIVER, YOU DUMB TUNA!
-Magngh!! That's right, I'm sure I threw it away...

-I guess I have no choice but to buy a new one
-It's actually sold somewhere??
-Yes, at my favorite candy shop
-Candy shop!?

-Excuse me
-Oh, Prince! Welcome
-Could I get a big popsicle, ma'am?
-P-popsicle
sign: CANDY SHOP, side: we have meat too

15
-See? I bought a new stick
-The stick comes from a giant popsicle?!

-That's right...although it's a mystery to me why I've been carrying a big popsicle stick all this time
-why am I...?
-I simply came to terms with by telling myself "why not?"...
-That's no good! Think harder about it!

-Besides, eating this thing is a pain. It's too much and it's not that great, either
-It tastes bad, even though it's that huge...?
-Nghhhh...terrible! This top part melting here tastes like agar!
-No one's forcing you to finish it...

-No, you see, I'm jinxed
-If I finish every bite of a large popsicle then something good will happen, but if I don't, I'll be speared through to death by an old woman in military uniform
-That's a really scary curse!!

-Bleh....thanks for the meal...Now I finally got a stick again
-And see, something good happened after all
-It says you won!
-Wow! Just like your jinx says!
middle: eh?
stick: winner

-Excuse me! Take a look at this ma'am! The prince won!
-Oh me, that's great!
-Ah, wait a minute...
-Imoko...forget it...I don't really...

-Awhawhaw....why meeeee....
-A-ah, forgive me, I just had the urge to turn it in
-It tastes like takoyaki that went through a washing machine...
black: The prince who forces himself to eat, along with Imoko, standing straight as a stick... (t/n - there may be a deeper pun but I sure don't get it)
