Dogashi Kaden! 6

Between the computer's hiccups (that solved themselves somehow) and the scorching heat, it's a wonder I was able to get that chapter done at all... But I still did. And I'm glad I did, since I think it's the best chapter so far (the humor is really starting to grow on me :D). This really shows nice potential,and while I'm definitely sure it won't be a second ES21 (at least in my heart, but I hardly doubt anything will ever be >.>), if the Japanese readers give it its chance, it could still prove to be quite a great manga iin the long term :amuse


Anyway, without further ookado, enjoy~


Dogashi chapter 06

Page 01

Left : The night of Tanabata. There’s only one thing she wishes for. Fly, feelings of the girl in a yukata.
(T/N : Tanabata is a traditional Japanese festival taking place on the 7th day of the 7th month, during which girls can be expected to wear a yutaka, a kind of kimono worn during the summer, and people tie papers with wishes written on them to bamboo, for the wishes to fly to Orihime and Hikoboshi in the sky in hope they’re granted... Wikipedia is your friend >.>)

Hirose : Will we see the “height” of the one coming back from America?

Guy : ... Honestly, the jumping power of that Sudou is really uncommon...
Guy : But the opponent Nerima-san has always been in charge of the opening tip for Touryou during the last two years...
*Opening Tip -> The jump ball that begins the match.

Shiba : Nice, Sudou, you did well!!

Shiba : Alright!! Let’s put everything on this one!!
Shiba : Run!!!

Guy : Aah!!
Guy’s small text : All of a sudden!

Page 05

Minagawa : ... you were off-guard, Shiba...
Minagawa : Right now, the man you’re going against is the ace of Touryou.

Shiba : ... Tch!! Sorry, I messed up!!
Shiba : Fall back!!!

Hirose : Even though he’s just a sophomore, Sayama is our number one technician.
Hirose : He’s a genius as a control tower, and showed plays of the high school level ever since middle school...

Shiba : We caught up!!!

Hirose : Because he creates offense with just passes in such an artistic way,
Hirose : he’s called

Hirose : the “Court’s Maestro”
Someone : On the opposite side...!!
Someone : Nerima-san is running already!!!

Page 06

Nerima : Buraaaa!!!
Someone : Ooooooooh!!!

Page 07

Guy : ... Such a destructive power for that dunk...
Guy : This... This isn’t something a high school student can have!!!
Hazuki : Neither is his face.

Nerima : Yo~...
Nerima : Sudou... was it?

Nerima : Your senpai has a patent on dunks here, you know?
Nerima : Check that body of mine...!!!

Nerima : Ooru ofu... za massuru...!!
Nerima’s small text : Hey!
Nerima : If it’s about muscular dunks then I’m the number one in the Japanese high school world...
Sayama : What the hell is a muscular dunk anyway
Sayama’s small text : What the hell is he saying?
Yoshino : I don’t get the meaning of that English just now either.
(T/N : “All of the muscle” XD)

Page 08

Shiba : ... They got two points in an instant...
Sudou : You messed up right at the start.
Sudou’s small text : Way to lower the tension...

Shiba : Ah!? Well... I screwed up too, but... So did you! Wasn’t Nerima-san completely free just now!!
Shiba : Since you didn’t come back to defend he could make an easy dunk!
Sudou : Ha
Sudou : ... Aren’t you just taking it out on me? Since you’re the one that messed up.

Hazuki : ... It seems... They don’t get along, right?
Hirose : “Harmony is honorable”
Hirose : It seems that the words I said the other day didn’t find their way to their hearts...
Hirose : it’s “unfortunate”, but it’s an inexcusable mood...

Sayama : ... Hey, hey, hey
Sayama : Stop talking and come already
Sayama : Freshmen kids

Page 09

Sayama : I’ll catch the ball
Sayama : once again

Narration : Shiba couldn’t use the plan he was aiming for, “making use of Haruyoshi”
Shiba : ... Tch
Shiba : Sudou!!
Narration : After all, the freshmen team had no other choice but relying on Sudou’s one-on-one.

Nerima : Ooooow!!!

Guy : Doaah!!!
Guy : He’s just too powerful!!

Sayama : Nice block, Neri-san!!

Sayama : If this goes in there’ll be a 12 points gap!!!
Sudou : ... That shit

Page 10

Shiba : Hurry up and fall back!!!
Shiba : We can’t let the gap widen more than that!!!

Sayama : I’m counting on you!

Yoshino : If I’m not marked, then... It can’t be anything else than in.
Yoshino’s small text : If not, Yoshino will be angry.

Page 11

Minagawa : ... Three points!!!

Someone : 13 points!!! A 13 points gap!!!
Yoshino : ... I’m glad it’s in
Sayama : As expected from Yoshino-san, so reliable!
Yoshino : Haha... You always say that like it’s simple

Page 12

Someone : Uuuh... this is a tough one
Someone : There’s a 13 points gap with only one minute left in the first half...

Guy : And the senpais seem to be going easy on them somehow...
Guy : It seems they’re just piling up the points while the freshmen are confused...!!

Hirose : If the gap widen to 20 points then the match is settled... right
Hirose : Of the 12 points the freshmen got, 10 were by Sudou alone...
Hirose : But it’s hard to say he’ll still be able to keep up his one-man show after that.

Hirose : ... Putting that aside, I’m tired of waiting
Hirose : Minagawa... In this situation, I want to hear it from your mouth.

Hazuki : Eh?

Hirose : ... Are you just playing stupid? About Ookado Haruyoshi...
Hirose : What is that? Let alone shooting, he barely even touched the ball... You... do know I’m not the patient type, don’t you?

Page 13

Hazuki : ... That’s true

Hazuki : But sometimes you should wait patiently.
Hazuki : A hidden talent can bloom in an instant.

Hazuki : When an impatiens flower is blooming
Hazuki : it expels its seeds really far away.

Hazuki : ... Don’t you think you’d like to see it?
Hazuki : The single instant an impatiens, after long months of preparation have passed,
Hazuki : expels its seeds...

Page 14

Someone : There’s 30 seconds left in the first half!!!
Someone : The gap is 18 points...!!!

Shiba : If we can stop this one, we’ll be able to do at least one more play...
Shiba : If they score before the first half ends, it’s no different than if they had won already...!!

Shiba : Guoh!!
Shiba : A screen!!!
Shiba : Damn it!
*Screen -> when a teammate becomes a wall to free a player during offense

Shiba : Sudou!!
Sudou : I would have gone without you telling me, you know.

Sayama : Here you go!

Page 15

Someone : Waaaaah!!!
Someone : Nerima-san!!!

Hirose : With this, it’s a 20 points difference
Hirose : The match is over.

Shiba : ... Damn it
Shiba : it’s over if the gap widens more than that...!!

Shiba : The senpais aren’t even playing seriously...
Shiba : More than that, and...!!!

Page 16

Shiba : Woooooh, I can’t catch up!!!

Page 17

Shiba : Ah...

Hazuki : See?... It bloomed <3

Left : Next week, VS the Touryou's regulars team!! Sudou & Haruyoshi's secret plan is...!?

Kickass! <3

Page 19

Nerima : ... what!!?

Guys : Whaa!!!

Left : Here it comes!!

Someone : What was that just now!!!
Someone : When did
Someone : Ookado come to block Harima-san!!?

Shiba : Way to go, Ookado!!!
Shiba : Alright!! We’ll catch up from now on! What will make the decision in this match is...

Sudou : Probably me, huh?
Shiba : Not you alone!!!
Shiba : Let’s go!
Shiba’s small text : Run!!!

Left : Run!! Begin the counterattack!!
