ch 141: The Student Council Manga Recruitment Project
pg01:
INTRO:
Serious!
BOSSUN:
Okay...
BOSSUN:
So basically, it's like this.
AGATA:
We're gonna make a recruitment poster to attract new members, kakaka. /
Make sure it explains what our jobs are and the motivation we need.
UNYUU:
We should use pictures rather than words for the poster.
SHINBA:
Then how about a manga story?
DAISY:
Who's drawing it?
pg02:
AGATA:
Anyone will do. Let's leave it up to luck.
TEXT (right to left):
Daisy Mimorin Michiru Agata
TSUBAKI:
Wait a second!
TSUBAKI:
Why isn't my name there?
AGATA:
Ehhh... how should i put this.
AGATA:
You have zero sense in art.
TSUBAKI:
Uwaaaaahhh!!!
BOSSUN:
... And so, /
You were insistent on taking up the job, so now you have to do a manga poster.
pg03:
TSUBAKI:
That's right nyaa.
BOSSUN:
How long do you plan on being a cat?!
TSUBAKI:
Huh?
BOSSUN:
Don't "Huh?" me!
BOSSUN:
I'm gonna be direct! I don't know what happened, but you're behaving like
a cat for a while now!
TSUBAKI:
....? /
What are you saying, nyaa?
BOSSUN:
He still doesn't get it!
INTRO:
The client this time is... Tsubaki?
HIMEKO:
He's been weird since the school trip.
SWITCH:
Which means it must be Chuu-san's drugs.
BOSSUN:
If it's the Hypno, then he'll be able to fix it. /
Go to Chuu-san, now.
TSUBAKI:
Yeah, I'll go after this.
HIMEKO:
Speaking of cats, Nakatani-san from 2-A has 4 of them, they're really cute!
TSUBAKI:
Can we settle this first, nyaa?
pg04:
TSUBAKI:
My request is simple nyaa.
TSUBAKI:
I want to make the best poster I can, nyaa, and make sure it's of top
nyaa quality, but I can't do it by myself nyaa.
HIMEKO:
So many nyaas.
TSUBAKI:
So, Fujisaki.
How about it? /
It's your specialty.
TSUBAKI:
Help me make a decent work, nyaa!
BOSSUN:
No way, nyaa!
TSUBAKI:
Nyaa?
BOSSUN:
Hmph! Why do I have to help the Student Council? /
Since you vonluntarily took the job, then do it by your own!
HIMEKO:
Bossun!
TSUBAKI:
..... /
I see.
TSUBAKI:
I shouldn't ask for help. I'm sorry nyaa.
BOSSUN:
Huh?! /
Is it the cat influence?! Usually you'll be all /
Tsubaki: And you dare call yourselves the Sket-dan?! , right?
TSUBAKI:
Then excuse me, nyaa.
BOSSUN:
I-I got it! We'll help you!
pg05:
TSUBAKI:
I thought of the general plot.
TSUBAKI:
A guy is interested and learns about the Student Council.
TSUBAKI;
Then he saves a girl from some delinquents in the name of justice!
BOSSUN:
Why a delinquent?!
TSUBAKI:
And here's the main character concept I thought of so far.
BOSSUN:
.... Hmm.... /
Huh?
BOSSUN:
Ermmmmm... /
Ehh?!
BOSSUN:
Isn't the story about a normal guy trying to learn more about the student council!?
TSUBAKI:
That's right, nyaa.
BOSSUN:
So this is....?
TSUBAKI:
The main character, Seito Kain.
[ TN: Student Council in Japanese is "seitokai" ]
BOSSUN:
What a crappy name!
pg06:
BOSSUN:
And what's with this guy?! /
A robot?
TSUBAKI:
Kain-kun's not a robot, he's human. /
Specifically, a human with superhuman powers nyaa.
BOSSUN:
A human with superhuman powers nyaa?
BOSSUN:
Who needs that?! Just use a normal person, man! /
Actually, he has to be normal! Screw the superhuman bit!
TSUBAKI:
To attract readers from the start, I wanted them to know those in the
side of justice have superhuman-like powers to defeat evil.
HIMEKO:
What kinda idea is that, man...
BOSSUN:
And these lollipop things. /
What are they?
HIMEKO:
Ears...?
TSUBAKI;
Ah, that's the Kain Ear.
BOSSUN:
Kain Ear?
BOSSUN:
The Kain Ear can pick up a call of distress from a student anywhere.
TEXT:
Help me!
BOSSUN:
Who cares?
BOSSUN:
Is this part even relevant?!
pg07:
BOSSUN:
Is the thing on top a Kain Ear too?! /
Why does this guy have 3 ears!
TSUBAKI:
Don't panic nyaa. That's the Kain Antenna. It can pick up the thoughts of
students in trouble.
TEXT:
Help me!
HIMEKO:
Then it has the same function as the Kain Ear?!
BOSSUN:
This guy's definitely not human! Who has an antenna sticking outta their
heads?!
TSUBAKI:
By the way, the Kain Eyes can see any wrongdoing. Just because they're
small, don't underestimate them nyaa.
BOSSUN:
No, no one's underestimating anything. /
Really, we don't care about the Kain Eyes.
TSUBAKI:
And so, the new Student Council member, Kain-kun with his superhuman powers
becomes a hero of justice and become extremely popular nyaa!
BOSSUN:
Okay, now you're just messing with us! Wasn't the original message "Join the Student
Council"?! Where did the hero bit come out from?!
HIMEKO:
Bossun, Bossun.
HIMEKO:
I think that's how Tsubaki sees the Student Council. /
Like the school's heroes or something.
BOSSUN:
For real...?
HIMEKO:
Trust your brother to come up with a weird idea.
BOSSUN:
I'm not the same as this guy!
pg08:
TSUBAKI:
... And so.
TSUBAKI:
I came up with a draft for a two-page manga. Here, have a look.
BOSSUN:
Really? /
Okay, fine...
TSUBAKI:
But it looks really amateurish...
BOSSUN:
Of course, you're a beginner. Don't get so depressed.
TSUBAKI:
So, help me touch up and make this look professional somehow. /
I used a magic marker to draw Kain-kun already. The rest are in pencil,
so modify it where you see fit.
TSUBAKI:
And you have full control over the background and effects, since you know
more about them.
BOSSUN:
...
HIMEKO:
Doncha think the story's kinda weird?
BOSSUN:
There's so many things I could criticise here...
I bet this guy never read a manga in his life before.
TSUBAKI:
...
TSUBAKI:
Even though I have the main story written, but...
Nyaa, I don't mind if you change the story a little.
TSUBAKI:
I leave that up to you too.
TSUBAKI:
So, I'm gonna go to Chuu-san's lab to regain my humanity nyaa.
BOSSUN:
Yeah, go. /
Go and become a dog this time!
TSUBAKI:
Nyaa, like I'll nyaaing do that, nyaa!
BOSSUN:
Shut up with the nyaas, just go!
pg09:
BOSSUN:
Okay. /
G-Pen, ink, correction fluid and a ruler.
BOSSUN:
Thanks to Roman, we have all we need.
HIMEKO:
This looks really pro.
BOSSUN:
We have only one bottle of correction fluid, so use sparingly.
BOSSUN:
Himeko, don't knock it over.
HIMEKO:
I won't!
BOSSUN:
Alright, let's start from here.
BOX:
Laugh-til-you-cry gag manga!
"Entering the Student Council"
KAIN:
I'm Seito Kain!
BOSSUN:
I'm gonna draw a realistic background now.
BOSSUN:
Gotta get the perspective right...
BOSSUN:
Okay, chest-level will do. /
The focus point is here, and the vanishing point is here...
BOSSUN:
Something like this.
HIMEKO:
Damn that's good!
HIMEKO:
What's with this guy!
SWITCH:
Just what I'd expect from Roman's former assistant.
HIMEKO:
Draw me, now! Please!
BOSSUN:
Next, inking.
pg10:
HIMEKO:
Ah, the ink bottle's right here.
HIMEKO:
Ah!
HIMEKO:
Gyaaaaaah!!!
HIMEKO:
I knocked over the bottle!
BOSSUN:
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
BOSSUN:
I told you not to, dammit!
BOSSUN:
Now look, Kain-kun's face is totally erased!
BOSSUN:
And you know, you-
HIMEKO:
Shadduuuuupppp!!!
pg11:
BOSSUN:
The fluid's dried, but...
BOSSUN:
What to do, man? /
The first panel's more or less gone.
BOSSUN:
And we're totally out of correction fluid. /
So we can't make any corrections now.
SKET:
...!!!
BOSSUN:
This is one helluva crappy start.
SWITCH:
But we can just redraw whatever's obscured by the correction fluid. /
That means we could revive Kain by drawing him again.
BOSSUN;
Ohh!! /
That's our Switch!
BOSSUN:
Alright, let's go!
HIMEKO:
Bossun, wait! If you draw it, it'll stand out too much from Tsubaki's
crappy drawings!
BOSSUN;
Huh? Even if you say that...
HIMEKO:
If Switch did it, the level should be around Tsubaki's, so let Switch do it.
BOSSUN:
Do we have to think that far?
BOSSUN:
Ah whatever. Here ya go Switch.
SWITCH:
Leave it to me.
pg12:
KAIN:
Hi, I'm Seito Kain!
BOSSUN:
The face is wrong!
HIMEKO:
The eyes weren't that big!
BOSSUN:
Don't draw whatever you like!
BOSSUN:
Didn't I said we have no correction fluid left?!
BOSSUN:
What to do now?! We can't change it!
BOSSUN:
Kain's different in the first two panels... /
Oh shit, Tsubaki's gonna be pissed...
BOSSUN:
Hmm?
BOSSUN:
Oh, I got it! /
We can fix this!
HIMEKO:
Eh? Really? /
How?
BOSSUN:
We change the face of Kain.
HIMEKO:
Ehhh?!
pg13:
BOSSUN:
See these black dots?
BOSSUN:
We circle them.
BOSSUN:
Then we add that button nose.
HIMEKO:
Can we really do that?
BOSSUN:
Then we change every panel.
HIMEKO:
Kain Eye, version 2...?
KAIN:
Oh, my Kain Ears' picking something up!
KAIN:
Ah, a girl's being harassed by a delinquent!
TEXT:
Help me!
KAIN:
I'm here to save you!
KAIN (obscured):
Helping a student in trouble is the duty of the Student Council!
GIRL:
Thank you so much!
HIMEKO:
What's with this manga?!
pg14:
BOX:
The troubles just keep coming...
BOSSUN:
Switch, whatcha doing?
BOSSUN:
What's that you're hiding!
SWITCH:
N-Not a blotch, that's for sure!
BOSSUN:
Blotch...? /
What did you do, dammit!
BOSSUN:
Ah! /
Why's there an ink stain?!
KAIN:
I'm gonna learn more about the Student Council and join them!
BOSSUN:
Stop screwing up, man!
SWITCH:
I just touched it, and I didn't know I had ink on my fingers. Then.... then!
HIMEKO:
Then why did you try to hide it? Are you 6?! /
You can't even fool Bossun with that!
BOSSUN;
....
BOSSUN:
....
BOSSUN:
No, it's okay.
BOSSUN:
Let's make it a crow.
HIMEKO:
Genius!
pg15:
HIMEKO:
Oh, a crow in the center of the sun! Awesome!
SWITCH:
It's like the crow's flying straight at us. That's cool.
BOSSUN:
Ah.
BOSSUN:
NOOOOO!!! /
I forgot to let the ink to dry before touching it!
KAIN:
Oh yeah!
BOSSUN;
Ugh...
BOSSUN:
...
BOSSUN:
Let's make it a blood spurt.
HIMEKO:
Anything goes now, huh.
BOSSUN:
Hmmm, but this... /
First the crow appears, then Kain learns about the Student Council, then
his blood starts spurting all over the place.
HIMEKO:
The story doesn't flow...
pg16:
BOSSUN;
And what's with this panel full of text? Boring. /
Nobody's gonna read this.
HIMEKO:
That chunk's written in pencil anyway, let's erase it.
SWITCH:
This is starting to look too different from the original.
BOSSUN:
Okay, then the crow pecks Kain in the head!
HIMEKO:
Oh, the story adds up! /
Now we know why he's bleeding!
HIMEKO:
But Kain got hit pretty badly. He'd have a bigger wound, right?
BOSSUN:
Hmmm... So it still doesn't flow too well...
BOSSUN:
Then we add more blood.
HIMEKO:
That's fine, that's fine! He should be bleeding that much!
SWITCH:
And so Kain should be bleeding continuously after this panel.
HIMEKO:
Hey, then the delinquent appearing becomes too random...
BOX:
And so they continued-
BOX:
And the manga was published as planned.
pg17:
BOX:
Laugh-til-you-cry gag manga!
Entering the Student Council!
KAIN:
I'm Seito Kain!
KAIN:
The Student Council's so cool!
KAIN:
I wanna join then!
KAIN:
Ah! A crow!
KAIN:
GYAAAAAAAAH!!!
KAIN:
AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!
pg18:
KAIN:
Somebody... Somebody help me!
KAIN:
Ah! He's the crow master, "Crow Claw"!
KAIN:
I gotta run away! I'll be killed!
KAIN:
Argh, this is pissing me off! I'll just punch some random guy!
GIRL:
Kyaa, Hiroshi-kun!
GIRL:
What was that for! Who punches someone suddenly like that!
KAIN:
Shaddup! I did what need to be done!
KAIN:
'Cause I'm in the Student Council!
TEXT:
