AGATA:
Hmmmm... / Sasuke, you didn't sing today too, right?
AGATA:
Why not? Did you forget the lyrics? You can sing, right?

AGATA:
...

BOSSUN:
Stop! / Agata-sensei, Sasuke doesn't want to sing, so don't make him, okay!
AGATA:
Don't be noisy, Bossun. Sasuke has to sing too. I won't give preferential treatment to anyone.

BOSSUN:
Haha! / No way! Sasuke can't do anything without me beside him, y'know?
BOSSUN:
He won't sing even if I told him to, no way you can make him sing! / Just give up, Agata sensei~

Playing house!

SWITCH:
I'm back.
CAPTAIN:
Welcome back! / Would you like to have dinner? Or a bath?

SWITCH:
I'll have dinner.
CAPTAIN:
Here you go~

CAPTAIN:
...
CAPTAIN:
Hmmm... somehow... / This isn't exciting.
SWITCH:
We're just playing house, after all.

CAPTAIN:
Looks like Bossun and Himeko are playing house too.
SWITCH:
Let's have a look.

BOSSUN:
Uwaaaahh- I'm finally back-
HIMEKO:
Welcome back! / You sure came home late today.
HIMEKO:
Why so cheerful?

HIMEKO:
Uwah, you stink! / You reek of alcohol! / Did you go drinking again?!
BOSSUN:
Why can't I! I need to drink to survive, dammit!
HIMEKO:
You're wasting money, we're in a recession y'know!

pg05:

HIMEKO:
I made some boiled potatoes, you want some? / I'll just heat it up, it'll be just a moment.
BOSSUN:
Naw I don't want it. / I'm so full right now I think I'll explode!

HIMEKO:
What?! If you're gonna eat outside, at least call me and tell me!
BOSSUN:
Shaddup! I'm gonna take a bath! Gonna get frozen in the bathtub~*
*TN: Bossun makes a pun that goes "furo de furoozen". "furo" is bathtub in Japanese*
HIMEKO:
Why the hell would you be frozen!

BOSSUN:
Hmmmm? Himeko-chaaaan, why don't we go take a bath together-?
HIMEKO:
Oh what are you saying, silly!
HIMEKO:
I still have laundry to do, so go take a bath already!

HIMEKO:
Oh, he's such a bother.
HIMEKO:
Eh? His clothes are all so dirty again... / Doesn't he know I have to do his laundry?

HIMEKO:
Hmm? What's this?
HIMEKO:
It's a business card...

HIMEKO:
Oi you! Who the hell is "Sweet Cherry - Girlz Bar"?!!!
BOSSUN:
Whuh? Oi, why's the water so hot! I'm the one that's gonna be boiled here!
CAPTAIN:
Isn't that too... realistic...??

pg06:

TEXT:
Let's decide on a play!

AGATA:
So it's decided, we'll be staging a play during our next playtime session!
AGATA:
Anyone has any suggestions?

HIMEKO:
Me, me, me, meeeeee!!
AGATA:
These two are really noisy...
BOSSUN:
Me, me, me, meeeee!!
AGATA:
Alright, Himeko.

HIMEKO:
Eh? Ah.... / Hmmm... Erm....
HIMEKO:
I wanna be a girl!
AGATA:
You didn't actually think about it, did you?!

BOSSUN:
You see, I wanna, see, do one with lotsa robots, see-
BOSSUN:
And then, they fight!
AGATA:
What kinda play is that! It's just be kids like you fooling around!

MIMORI:
I know!
AGATA:
Hm?
AGATA:
Mimorin-sensei, you have a suggestion?

MIMORI:
How about the musical like the Lion King?
AGATA:
Isn't that too large-scale?!

pg07:

AGATA:
Momoka, how about you?

MOMOKA:
...

MOMOKA:
Liberty Maji.
AGATA:
An anime?! / Hmmm... I somehow get the feeling you'll be Liberty Maji someday. I wonder why...

AGATA:
Oh / Dante.

DANTE:
Masked Shinobi.
AGATA:
What in the world is that!?

YABASAWA:
He means Kakashi-sensei from Naruto.
AGATA:
A manga?! / Stop it with all the anime and manga already!

AGATA:
.... / Hm?
AGATA:
A girl.. / a robot...
AGATA:
Lion King... / A witch...
AGATA:
Kakashi...

AGATA:
...

BOX:
Thus it was decided that the play would be "The Wizard of Oz".


pg08:

TEXT:
I love robots!

AGATA:
Ah.....
AGATA:
Great weather.

HIMEKO:
Sensei, Bossun's pouting.
AGATA:
Ehhh?!

HIMEKO:
He said he really wanted to be the robot woodcutter*.
(TN: aka the Tinman in Wizard of Oz)
AGATA:
What? Man, this is troublesome...

AGATA:
Oi Bossun, don't be selfish! You got a good role last year already, didn't you!

BOSSUN:
*whisper* *whisper*
HIMEKO:
Mm, mm.

HIMEKO:
He said: "Why is Switch the robot? I can't accept that."
AGATA:
Hmmmmmm.....

AGATA:
You see, Switch can do a robotic voice with his laptop, yeah?
AGATA:
He also looks like a robot, dontcha think so?

pg09:

BOSSUN:
...

BOSSUN:
*whisper* *whisper*
HIMEKO:
Mm, mm.

HIMEKO:
He said: "But that guy doesn't love robots as much as I do. Also, I know how to move like a robot.
Furthermore, my obsession with robots is just plain abnormal. If you think about it, aren't I the best person to play the robot?"
AGATA:
That was long!

AGATA:
No, no! We have to distribute the roles fairly!
AGATA:
I know you love robots, but that doesn't mean I can giv e you preferential treatment!

SHINBA:
Agata-sensei, I can let Bossun have my Lion role.
AGATA:
Eh? / Why, Michiru?

SHINBA:
It's not the main role, anyway.
AGATA:
What's with all of you?!

AGATA:
But Bossun wants to be the robot...
AGATA:
I don't think the Lion role can-

AGATA:
Where was your "plain abnormal obsession with robots"!!

TEXT BETWEEN TITLE AND PANELS:
Written by Ooishi Kouji Drawn by Shinohara Kenta
(TN: This part is a collaboration with the mangaka of "Inumaru Dash!!", another Jump manga.)

TAMAKO:
Agata-sensei--
AGATA:
Oh,
AGATA:
If it isn't Tamako-sensei from Matatabi Kindergarten!

TAMAKO:
Er, is there a child from our kindergarten here?
AGATA:
Hmm? Can you describe him?
TAMAKO:
P-pants-less...
AGATA:
Eh? What -less again?
TAMAKO:
He's not wearing any pants.

BOSSUN:
Uwaaaaahh Agata-sensei!
AGATA:
What happened, Bossun?

BOSSUN:
Some short-less guy took my goggles!
AGATA:
Eh? What -less did he say again?
TAMAKO:
S-Short-less... / Are you doing that on purpose?!

TAMAKO:
I think that was one of our children! If this keeps up, there'll be more trouble...
AGATA:
Eh... So in the end, he was what-less again?
TAMAKO:
Oh, never mind!
HIMEKO:
What's with that guy, so annoyiiiiing!

HIMEKO:
Some bottom-less boy just took my PeloCan! / I haven't even opened it yet!
AGATA:
Well, on the bright side, at least he didn't take it after you licked it. That would be just disgusting.
TAMAKO:
What's with that weird positivity...

pg11:

HIMEKO:
Switch got his laptop stolen too!
AGATA:
S-Switch--!!
TAMAKO:
He somehow looks so sad!

HIMEKO:
He even took his glasses!
AGATA:
WHy was Switch the only one with two things taken from him...
BOSSUN:
We keep calling him Glasses so much, to have them taken away must've been painful!
AGATA:
Looks like the culprit loves to steal the trademarks of others...

YABASAWA:
Awful!! M-My first kiss--!!!
AGATA:
Okay, I don't get it. Why was that her trademark...

BOSSUN:
Ah! There he is!
HIMEKO:
That's the thief!
TAMAKO:
Inumaru-kun!

HIMEKO:
Return us our stuff now!
BOSSUN:
Ah! The goggles are at the wrong place! / The rubber's gonna stretch!!

INUMARU:
Fufufu... If you want me to return this...

INUMARU:
You have to be my friend.

HIMEKO:
...? Just that?
BOSSUN:
You didn't have to do all that, y'know. We'll say yes anyway.
SFX:
*droop*
HIMEKO:
No, I don't want it back.
INUMARU:
Really?

INUMARU:
Okay, I have one more thing that I want!
HIMEKO:
Just say it! We'll see what we can do!
BOSSUN:
We're friends after all!

INUMARU:
A Shougakukan Mangaka Award*.
HIMEKO:
Like we can give you that!
(TN: It is a prestigious award for outstanding manga. Sket Dance got it for the year 2009.)

pg12:

TEXT:
Ultra Barrier!

DAISY:
You're the one who's in the wrong!
BOSSUN:
Ouch!

DAISY:
Drown in the gutter!

SHINBA:
Are you alright Bossun?
BOSSUN:
Ku... / I don't know.
BOSSUN:
It might be broken...

BOSSUN:
Okay, it seems fine.
SHINBA:
Really? / That's great!
BOSSUN:
But that attack just now was dangerous.

BOSSUN:
If my barrier went up a second too late, I'd be dead by now.
SHINBA:
Barrier?! / You have something like that?!
AGATA:
...

pg13:

BOSSUN:
Yeah.
BOSSUN:
I can summon a ultra barrier to protect myself in an instant.
SHINBA:
Whoa, that's awesome! I can't do that...

SHINBA:
But I didn't see the barrier just now...
BOSSUN:
Ah... yeah. / It's invisible, see.
SHINBA:
It's invisible?! Awesome!
AGATA:
...

SHINBA:
Then, then, can you block a cannonball?
BOSSUN:
I won't die with the barrier, I think.
SHINBA:
Wow! How about a laser beam?
BOSSUN:
I can reflect the laser beam, no problem.
SHINBA:
Whoaaa! You're awesome, Bossun!
AGATA:
...

SHINBA:
I wanna make a barrier too...
BOSSUN:
It's not that easy, you'll need at least 10 years of training to make one.
SHINBA:
10 years?! Wow...
AGATA:
...
BOSSUN:
I'll teach you how, if you want.
SHINBA:
Really? Yay! Let me see it!

BOSSUN:
Just like this... / Turn your hands around like this...
BOSSUN:
Then you'll see a yellow light.
SHINBA:
Wow...
AGATA:
Wasn't it supposed to be invisible?!
BOX:
Agata-sensei finally couldn't resist saying something.

pg14:

TEXT:
Today's training!

BOSSUN:
Oof!

BOSSUN:
Piece of cake! Sasuke, go try it.
SFX:
*shakeshakeshake*

BOSSUN:
You'll be fine, just do it!
SFX:
*shakeshakeshake*
BOSSUN:
You won't know til you try!
SFX:
*shakeshakeshake*
BOSSUN:
Are you an akabeko* kinda head-shaking figurine!
(TN: An akabeko is a toy from Fukushima, shaped like a red cow)

BOSSUN:
I know you're not, stop panicking!

BOSSUN:
Okay I got it. I'll jump down from there!
TSUBAKI:
*shocked*
BOSSUN:
If I can jump from there, you jump from the slide, okay!

SFX:
*grab*
BOSSUN:
Eh, what? I'll break my bones?/ Hahaha, no way! I'll be fine!
BOSSUN:
I have the barrier, remember.

BOSSUN:
Is this guy for real...

pg15:

BOSSUN:
YEAAAAH!!

BOSSUN:
...

BOSSUN:
See?

BOSSUN:
Okay, that's it for today's training! / Tmr's the play, so we gotta go home early to prepare, right?
BOSSUN:
You go ahead first, I'll stay here to train a bit more...
BOSSUN:
I'll do it alone! You go home first! Okay?

HIMEKO:
A bone in his leg broke.
AGATA:
What's with that boy, honestly!

pg16:

TEXT:
The play!

AGATA:
So, since Bossun got injured yesterday,
AGATA:
We'll need someone else to play the Lion today.

AGATA:
Michiru, how about you?
SHINBA:
Ehhhhh, I don't remember the lines!

AGATA:
Oh yeah, there's that too...
AGATA:
This is bad...

AGATA:
... Sasuke...

AGATA:
You're always beside Bossun during rehearsal, right?

AGATA:
You remember the lines?

pg17:

CAPTAIN:
We've worked hard for this!
CAPTAIN:
1,2...
SHINBA & CAPTAIN:
Please enjoy!
Board to the left reads "The Wizard of Oz"

YABASAWA:
Will Sasuke-kun be fine?
YABASAWA:
Or will he be awful?
AGATA:
Awful...? Never mind. He'll be just fine.

AGATA:
He's doing it for that crazily brave brother, after all.

MOMOKA:
You'll just eat Toto up! You're a lion!

TSUBAKI:
uwaaaaah, don't be so mad at me!
TSUBAKI:
Though I didn surprise you a little then...

pg18:

TSUBAKI:
I'm actually a coward.
TSUBAKI:
I want courage.

AGATA:
Bossun's just too protective.

MIMORI:
Hm?
AGATA:
Sasuke's a kid that can do it if he wants to, but he sticks around Bossun too much, since they're always together.

AGATA:
But, once Bossun isn't here, he knew that he had to do it all by himself this time. /
This time, Bossun wouldn't be beside him.

AGATA:
...
AGATA:
Beside him... huh.

pg19:

BOSSUN:
Agata-sensei! / Sasuke can't do anything if he's not beside me, y'know!
AGATA:
It'll be okay! Get away from me for a while, alright. / Bossun, stand here, Sasuke, you go there.

ALL:
Oh see how the sun~ shines so brightly~
