I finished this series about two weeks ago but couldn't upload it until now since my TL checker buddy was busy with exams and preparing for job hunt. So please bear with it~ So this is it - the final chapter! Even though I'm a terrible lazy bum who took way too much time for this rather short series and even though my first translations were kinda sucky...I'm proud and I feel like: wow, I really did it! Just like Satou Yuuho, personally, as a translator I also went through a process of growth and improvement. But it wouldn't have been possible without various people's help and support! Therefore, I'd like to name a few of those users who aided me in clearing this challenge with their contribution: • First of all thanks to MangaHelpers' awesome TL checking people helping new translators to improve! A LOT!! This whole system is just so helpful and awesome...I can't imagine any other place where I would have received this amount of assistance and feedback and it really, really helped me. Especially in the beginning! Therefore a big THANK YOU to: njt who encouraged me when I started and lent me a hand in the IRC a couple of times; Meriken who has never been to busy to lend me some of his immeasurable amount of linguistic knowledge and wits; and last but not least the guy I prefer to refer to as Tensai: Arth who defines words such as friendly, nice and aiding! You rock, dude!! • Next I would like to thank each and everyone who has been working on Hoopmen in the past few months. Be it with my humble self or just other groups that took on this project! So, a big shoutout to: carrotop from Nonbiri Scans who had been aligning with me from the start until the close end; taiyouchan whose TLs had been helpful to me from time to time when I started and CXC Scans for providing the first SLs of this series!; next Nicasso from Trinity BAKumA who pitched in and help closing the gap; and lastly each and every other contributor like Espling, LegACy and Bod Rangzen among others... • And of course, to each and every of you readers who followed my TLs of this series! Doesn't really matter if you were just reading it or if you were clicking the "Thanks" button or even wrote me a line or two of feedback - Thanks for sticking with me!! Hope to see all soon~ •• PS: Kawaguchi Yukinori-sensei will publish a new one shot in the next Akamaru JUMP! It'll be about boxing...I will definitely try bringing that stuff out to you all - so keep your eyes peeled!!

本日はお日柄も良く僕達の新しい門出に相応しい日となりました 外国から来た僕が晴れてこの日をむかえる事ができたのはーー 僕をサポートしてくれる人々の存在があったからです まず日本での生活の面倒を見てくれた僕の祖母に感謝したい Josh: Today's a bright day for all of us. Sun showing his smile makes this a day appropriate to our departure into new grounds / That I, who came from overseas, can be here today-- // …is only possible due to several people’s support. // First, I want to thank my grandmother thanks to who I got to experience the trouble and difficulties of life in Japan…

-page 9- ２年の時…夏合宿に行く途中電車の中で TAMEYOSHIが こんな事を言っていた Box: In our second year…onboard the train heading towards summer training camp // Tameyoshi said this:

It’s necessity! // Satou, in that one game back then you decided everything with ‘this’, didn’t you? // It was ‘this’, wasn’t it? …c’mon, c’mon, it was this move, no? How do you call it again? Look! あ ３点すか Someone: Ah, you mean a three pointer? そうそう フリーポイント Tameyoshi: Yeah, that’s it! A free pointer! あ スリーです ３です ３のスリーです Someone: Ah, no. It’s ‘three’ // ‘Three’ as in ‘3’
そう ３な そうそう そういうのが心に効くんだ 辛い事があった時でも自分の過去のいいプレーを思い出すとお前を向ける 先生も大学ん時空手でなーー Tameyoshi: Ah, yeah. It’s 3, yeah yeah. So use that thing for your soul // Even when times are tough you need to remember your good plays from the past and you’ll be able to strive forward / It’s the same with your Sensei, in university I used to be on the karate---
よーするに アイツ 過去の栄光にすがって生きてるって事だよな… Haraguchi: So in other words he’s just clinging to his glories from the past, huh… な マジだせえ あいつ Yuuho: Yeah, that guy’s so lame
と その時は完全にバカにしていたが But even when we made fun of his words back then…

… 何だ それはどういう意味だ 上のほくろが下のほくろの代打という事か Fujishiro: … / What’s that? What does that mean? / Like, the upper mole’s the lower mole’s pinch hitter!? あー俺こいつとあんまりしゃべりたくないわ Yuuho: Ahh~ I really don’t want to talk to that guy this much!
トーナメント Dブロッグ準決勝 YASHIBA高校 対 UKETACHI NISHI 高校 Tournament’s D Block – Semifinal // Yashiba High School vs. Uketachi West High School
-page 4- 第１６話 選手 Chapter 16: Player 快進撃を続けたYASHIBAも追いこまれ…！！ Even never seizing to attack Yashiba is stalemated…!!
score board: Yashiba (87) – Uketachi (89)
-page 5- ３点（スリーポイント）で一気に逆転を狙う Nakanishi: We’re going for a comeback with a threepointer
残り時間４秒２点リードされてYASHIBAボール 手堅く２点とって延長戦に持ち込む選択肢もあったけど 今のYASHIBAは選べなかった 直前のプレーで高さの要 藤代が５ファウル 退場 この試合中はコートに戻れない状況にあったからだ ――それだけじゃない Box: 4 seconds left, 2 points behind, ball Yashiba // We also had the choice to take the safe routine and go for 2 points, making it to extra time // But that would not do for Yashiba of that moment // Right before the games’ climax Fujishiro committed his 5th foul and had to leave court / That way he would not return in that game again // But it’s not only that
-page 6- UKETACHIのエース ６番 中の瀬によってATSUMUの得点が いつもの半分程度にまで抑えられていた ATSUMUと互角以上に闘ってるやつを初めて見た そんな相手だ消耗もハンパない ATSUMUと藤代――主力２人を欠いた状態で延長戦にのぞむなんて あり得ない事はおれにでも わかった Box: Because of Uketachi’s ace, number 6, Nakanose Atsumu’s scoring was decreased to half as much than usual. // It was the first time I saw a guy who could fight on par with Atsumu and even beat him // Against such an opponent his exhaustion was also not half bad // Atsumu and Fujishiro――In a situation with two members of our main force missing or tarnished going for extra time was out of question, even I understood that
勝つには ３点しかねえ みんないいか！？ Nakanishi: Only three points will make us win // Alright everybody!?
-page 7- それしかねーよ そりゃ ――で誰が うつ？ Yaguchi: No other option, huh // So, who are we going with? ATSUMU!! 花井！！ あと 雄歩！！――出ろ！！ Nakanishi: Atsumu!! / Hanai!! / And / Yuuho!! You guys go!! えっ Yuuho: Huh? ３人のうち誰がうつか…ラストパスはジョシュに任せる！！＜訳しろ雄歩＞ Nakanishi: To whom of those three he’ll play his last pass…it up to Josh!! <Yuuho, translate!> え あの オレすか？ わっ Yuuho: Huh? Um, me? // Wah そーだよ ワンポイント シューターってやつだ！！ ＜はよ 脱ぐ＞ Nakanishi: Yeah, you! Our one point shooter!! <hurry up, undress!>
-page 8- バーカ 誰もお前がラストショット決めっとは思ってねーよダミーだ UKETACHIも読んでるATSUMUと花井にはキツいマークがつくだろーからな やつらの守備を迷わせるためのダミー！！ハッタリだ！！ Yaguchi: You idiot. No one thinks you’ll decide this game with the last shot. You’re just a dummy. / Uketachi read the situation as well, they will mark Atsumu and Hanai extremely tight, you know. // So in order to alienate their defense we need a dummy!! It’s a bluff!! そーそー「オレにマークつけないの？決めちゃうよ！？」って顔してろ！！ Nakanishi: That’s right. C’mon, put on a "They won’t mark me? I have to settle this" sorta face!! サトー君 この大会中シュート当たってるから相手も気になるよ Koganei: Satou-kun scored a distance shot during this tournament. The opponent knows this! ま オレが決めっからどーでもいーんだけど Atsumu: Ah well, I’ll decide this thing anyway, so do whatever you want! どう歩いて コートまでたどりついたのかすら よく わかんなかった Yuuho: I don’t really know // how I walked or even when finally I reached the court
-page 9- 覚えてんのは All I remember…
-page 10- ―――魔法のパス その感覚 オレが才能あるって？ ―――is the feeling of that magical pass Yuuho: I got a talent!?
-page 11- ナッシュウ！！ …そう！！ YUUHOは人より柔軟な手首をもっている！！ それがその柔かいシュートタッチを生んでるんだ！！ 天性だよ！！いつかスゴいシューターに… Josh: Nice shot!! / …yeah!! / Your wrists are more flexible than other people’s, Yuuho!! // Thanks to that you can throw these smooth shots!! / It’s a talent you’re born with!! You’ll be one hell of a shooter one day…
in picture Yuuho (3rd panel): Hm~~
それ 花井さんとかにも言われたけど クソだわ ＜ごめんだけど＞ Yuuho: Hanai-san and the others also said that… / but that’s bullshit <Sorry about that>
-page 12- …オレ ちょっと前まで…みんなと比べて… 何も才能ねえ自分のことがイヤでイヤでしょーがなかったよ 才能あるヤツにイラついたり嫉妬したりして そーいう自分の小っこさが またイヤになったり… でも 練習して…ちょっとずつシュート入るよーになったら 今さら才能とかって言われんのが ちょっとムカっく感じ あんだよね オレが 自分で「上手くなりたい！！」って思って どうすれば入るか考えて試して…積み重ねてった○と×（シュートカ）だから…愛着があるっつーか？ 「今ごろ出てきて ワシのおかげじゃ的なコト言ってんじゃねー！！神！！」みてーな Yuuho: …just a little while ago…I was comparing myself with everyone… / I hated not having talent like all the other guys // I was jealous of them / and being jealous made me hate myself even more... // But… // I still kept practicing…and I started getting better bit by bit / And now all of a sudden I hear people saying I have talent, and it kinda pisses me off // I worked to get these skills! / I like having these skills 'cause I thought about how I could get better, and kept on practicing... / I'm like "It’s my time to shine! So God better not come out and go "It's all thanks to me!!""
-page 13- 「待ってろ！！」 「このまま積んでいっておめーを超えてやるぜ！！神！！」 Yuuho: "You just wait!!" // "The way it’s accumulating I’ll surpass you!! God!!" なんつって あ よっしゃ ○ Yuuho: No matter what it takes! Oh, yeah!! Scored! はは… Josh: Haha…

It’s Uketachi’s Nakanose…!! いいシュートだったよ 超キレてた YASHIBAがキミみたいな選手隠してとは計算外だったよ 決勝 絶対 勝てよ！！ Nakanose: One hell of a shot! Beautiful! // We didn’t expect Yashiba to have a player like you hidden up their sleeve // Make sure to win the finals!! あ…！！了解っス！！任してくだ… Yuuho: Oh…!! Understood!! Just leave it to… いやいや こいつ基本ホケツなんで Haraguchi: No, no…that guy’s usually just a substitute
-page 18- 「君みたいな選手隠してっとは」… 「選手」… "hid a player like you"… // "a player"… もしかしたらいつかーー通訳としてじゃなく 選手としてジョシュとコンビになってたりするかもね Koganei: Maybe, one day--- you won’t just be the interpreter // and you’ll form a combo together with Josh …んふっ 君の予言が当たったよ… Yuuho: …tehe / So your prophecy was fulfilled… あ？ Someone: Huh?
もうひとつ加わった名前「選手」。その当たり前の言葉がただ嬉しく…。 And yet another name was added: Player.

I was on the road for couple of weeks (been to France for a week and visited a friend of mine for another two) so I didn't find any time for translating. Anyway, yesterday night I finally came down to business again - somehow it just came over me "Wanna...end...this series!!". *lol* So even though I felt I've become a little rusty over the last two and a half month due to lack of regular practice I was f*ing fast with this piece...

The others member are also rounding it off / Like, everybody on the team helps out in the defense アフロ入って高さも加わったしな あほっぽいけど Audience: They also have that afro dude’s height advantage <though he’s an idiot> ベンチもテンション高―し雰囲気いいよね / オレもこーゆーチームでらりたかってなあ…… Audience: Their bench players seem pumped up as well.

成長中！ じけるな！！ They’re growing stronger! Don’t wuss out now!!https://mangahelpers.com/t/mr-prince/releases/14766[English] [Translation] Hoop Men 14 by Mr. Prince2009-08-03T16:41:06+00:00Mr. Princeadmin@mangahelpers.comSo here I was sitting and thinking after skipping over the 14th chapter and doing the script "Wow, this looks fairly easy" but when I was going into the real thing it kinda turned out quite horrible and nasty. I will definitely need some revision and suggestions for improvement at certain passages. Some might wonder why I did the whole script even though I tend to just put Kanji/Kana in there when I'm not sure about the passage but I really want to contibute to the amazing service of "MH Dictionary". It's just plain amazing and so helpful - it helped me quite a hand full of times during this chapter! So therefore, I'll continue with full scripts, I think.
THANKS TO MERIKEN-SAMA FOR THE REVISION!!!

外れた ボールを…？ オレにゴミ拾いをしろっ つーのかよ… Fujishiro: A missed shot...? You telling me to pick up trash or what...!?
違 違うし！！ コレ訳っ！！訳だから！！ オレが言ってんじゃないがー Yuuho: NO / That’s not it!! This is a translation!! I’m just translating <so I'm not actually saying any of this, okay!?>

高度なことは出来ねーだと…ッ！ Fujishiro: Are you telling me I can't do anything fancy... Huh!?
違…！！！ ちゃんと 聞けヤ Yuuho: NO…!!! <Listen carefully!>
-page 8- デケーだけの奴はゴミ拾いでもしてろっつーこったな… Fujishiro: So, you’re saying a guy who’s nothing but tall should do the trash picking, aren’t you…!?

I wonder if he appeared just now so that he can pursue me on road I’m currently also walking with one step at a time…? // Heh…the kid that’s evil to the core is quite cute to a certain point, huh~
あ``ぁ``し… やってみっか…リバウンド…！！ Fujishiro: O~kay… / Ya watch me do it…the rebound…!!

-page 10- ナイスリバン！！ カンペキだ！！ Josh: Nice rebound!! It was perfect!!
す～～ごいっすね 藤代 そりゃ勝てんわ Fukuda: He’s reaaa~lly amazing, that Fujishiro. We might win with him!
まー まだメチャクチャだけどな！モノが違う！ どこまでやれっか わかんねーが 即戦力になってもらうか Nakanishi: Well, but he’s still a little clumsy and lacking! Some things are just off! // I can’t say where his limits are but he’s acquired some serious combat capabilities in nearly no time

-page 11- いやいや何ですかコレは俗に言う後輩に追い抜かれバターンですか でもまだ Yuuho: No seriously, what is this!? Is this the so-called blow in the face one takes when you’re outrun by you Kouhai!? But still…
オウ ほくろ 水 あ はいっス ダッシュな はいっス Fujishiro: Hey mole, water! Yuuho: Ah, yes sir Fujishiro: Make sure to run! Yuuho: Yes sir
ま逆らうと多分リアルにパンチされるし水汲むのは もうしょうがないと思うよ でも 今一瞬 「オレ スタメン ムリかも」って思ったろ…？ ダメそれ ダメ！！ いてっ Yuuho (smile): Well, if I oppose being his gofer he might really beat me up. So I think it can’t be helped I have to get him his water. Yuuho (arrow lol): But weren’t you just now thinking "Maybe it’s impossible for me to become a starter"…? NO GOOD! THAT’S NO GOOD!! Yuuho (blood): Ouch…
ぐ…そーだ！！ 負けっか…！！オレだって…！！ 練習してやる…自分だけの武器をつくるんだ…っ！！！ まずは 朝練でシュート１００本！！ ＆（アーンド） Yuuho: Kch…that’s right!! I won’t lose…!! Not me…!! // I’ll do some serious training…I’ll create my very own special weapon no one else got…grr!!! // First I’ll do 100 during morning practice!! // And then…

Babe!! / First is snap and then… // Fo~~~rm Cheee~ck!! // OK!!! // I’ll eat lunch sometime between 3rd and 4th period to recharge my batteries… // That way I can do another 50 during lunch break!! // As expected, it’s damn tiring babe~… / My hands hurt, babe~ and my thighs are all stretched babe… // It’s already faded! I can’t help I want to play yet again… / Deceiving myself che~~~ck!!! // And che~~ck!!!
痛ったッ…！！ オイ！！！ Guy: Ouch…!! / Hey!!!
-page 13- 練習中はデイフェンスがいる シュート練習ん時の感覚を実践で生かせるよう…試すように うつ！！ニュアンスの違う約１００本＋アルファ ま まだ全然だけど Yuuho: During the real training there are defense players // I just need to put the feeling from during the shooting training into practice…I’ve just gotta shoot trying it!! The nuance of difference is just at about 100 throws + α / Well, for now it’s just totally different.
でもめげずにうつ！！ ひたすらうつ！！練習後３００本…！！！ 「最後に帰るんで オレのロッカーんとこに体育館のカギ置いといてください」キャラ定着！！ Yuuho: But I no longer have doubts while shooting!! I’m shooting with determination!! Now it’s time for the 300 throws after practice…!!! I’ve really become one of those "I’ll be going home late, so leave the key for the PE hall in my locker, please" characters!!
○入ったら ×外れたら ○ if it goes in / × if it doesn't
○×のくり返しの中奥義発見 ○ ○ ○… あ…ちょっと内股ぎみにジャンプしたら確率上がった…！！！！ Yuuho (in pic): I've discovered a secret technique in-between the ○'s and ×'s. Yuuho: ○ ○ ○… / Hey... Jumping with my thighs slightly pointed inward increased my chances of scoring!!!!
と思いきや 勘違いだったり × × ×… アレ…？ Yuuho (in pic): ...Or so I thought. Yuuho: × × ×… // What the…?
○ が「良い」で ×が「悪い」ってワケでもない ○ is "good" and // × means "bad", let’s see if it makes a difference
×の時の感覚も重要「こーゆー時は外れる」っていう 何つーか ○と×とかオレん中で積み重なって… 「コツ」とか「上手さ」って言葉で言い表すしかない何かに化けてゆく感じとか考えながら The feeling of getting an × is sorta important, too. I gotta have the ○’s and ×’s pile up inside me... And kinda think about having them transform into something that can't be expressed in words, like "knack" and "skill"
-page 14- このペースでうち 続けっと 卒業までに… うふっ オレのシュート力は６０万８３５０だ…！！！＜的な＞ Yuuho: If I keep going at this pace... / Before graduation I can be like... // *scribble* *scribble* // hoo hoo // My shooting power is 608,350 throws...!!! <or something>
久慈の話を聞いてね………練習を見てみたくなったんだ しかし いい選手がいるね…！！こりゃ 期待できる！！ PGとしてもやりがいがあるんじゃないか？ Matsubara-sensei: After hearing all of your stories, Kuji……..I just had to come and see your team practice. / Looks like you have a lot of good players…!! Yeah, I really think you got what it takes!! / But isn’t it also troublesome, being the point guard?
ええ！！仲間の力を引き出すことはポイントガード（司令塔）としての僕の役目であり…一番の楽しみでもある！！ Josh: Yeah!! It’s part of my work as point guard to boost my team mates’ strength…but it’s also the one that’s most fun!!
-page 17- 楽しくてしょうがないです！！八柴には一緒にプレーしててワクワクするようなとてつもない才能を持った選手たちがいますからね！！ ATUMU TATSUYA Josh: It’s fun and inevitable!! Because Yashiba plays together as a team, we’re thrilled and got a number of players with amazing talent!! // Atumu, / Tatsuya

Sorry about the two weeks break between this and the last chapter but I had the swine flu (/jk) and I got my exams coming up, starting next week with English literature. Anyway, so this is 13 of 17. The play-offs are near. Fujishiro is good for a couple of laughs! : )
Maybe some of my few fellow readers got an idea what I might do next once I'm through with the Hoop...I was thinking about doing my alltime favourite gag PTF!Jaguar but I think there would only be about 10 people reading those translations and that's sorta wasted energy.^^" Therefore, suggestions are greatly welcome!!

And judging from his cloths seems like he even plans on participating in our training!! / Hey, Fujishiro!! What’cha think you’re doing!? <Why are you here?> Fujishiro: Ohh, it’s the Senpai // As you can see, I’m training! // ‘Cause starting today, I’m returning to the basketball club / Yo mole, go and get me a towel Yuuho: Yes sir!! Fujishiro: And then, mole, you’ll drink loads of water in order to gain some weight since the way it’s now you’re of no use for my training, you’re too light Yuuho: Oh…yes sir!! Nakanishi: And why’s that guy already become Fujishiro’s gofer!? <What’s this “yes sir” for!?>
-page 4- Atsumu: Not really. It’s alright, isn’t it? Besides… / it’s like // I’m really not the one to decide here. If that guy wants to enter the club then it’s fine, no? / Ya know, // I think if you wanna do a thing, just go on and do it [TN: Srsly…Atsumu, you speak too casual for me. I feel like I understand only about half the things you say] Fujishiro: …Very well / Watch my Fujishiro Shinken Final Mystery… [TN: Maybe a reference to Hokuto no Ken/Fist of the North Star where Ken’s kick-ass technique is the Hokuto Shinken – the Divine Fist of the North Star, for that reason I left it untranslated] Nakanishi: Woah, wait, wait, wait, wait!!
-page 5- Koganei: Hello everyone Fujishiro: Ah you, Komuta-kun…you haven’t changed o~ne bit… / “Ya do it or ya don’t do it” you really can’t say such uncivilized things, good grief… / We’re basketball players after all. You should really put all that energy into basketball Yuuho: No, it’s YOU who should do so! / Plus, what’s this change of attitude about, huh...there, look look! / Seems like that story about him having a crush on Koganei’s the truth after all <That means he’ll be my rival, doesn’t it?> Nakanishi: Well anyway, don’t give us a trouble like the last time, okay!? Fujishiro: Oh, my dear Senpai don’t you worry. I’ve changed my ways of living Atsumu: Hey Mao…
-page 6- Fujishiro: In the past I lost my temper to lightly…and I wasn’t good at basketball back then…but now…I’m reflecting on that [TN: Yuuho’s drawn sooo sweet xD] Atsumu: Have you seen my wristband? Koganei: Ah yeah, that thing, I washed it Fujishiro: I’m not afraid to tell you that while I was on arrest I trained my heart by reading a couple of books…even though I’m still immature… Yuuho: I see, so he knows he’s an idiot Atsumu: Huh!? Why that!? You know I use it during training, don’t you!? / You know that I can’t play properly without that thing, don’t… Koganei: I don’t! All I know is that there was some wash on the top of the basket Fujishiro: Right now, all I wish to do is starting from scratch as a member of the basketball club, I think. Yuuho: OK! Give it your best, Kouhai!! [TN: If some of you have forgotten, Kouhai’s the counterpart to Senpai] Atsumu: You!! What’s that attitude, huh!? / I’ll change the balance of your face, look! Koganei: Owowow…id hurdfs [TN: She’s saying “ihai” instead of “itai” [=ouch; it hurts] in Japanese…I tried thinking of something that fits somehow]
-page 7- Fujishiro: GRRRRAAAAHHH!!!! Someone: Waaaah!! Cut it, Fujishiro~!!! Yuuho: Holy shit…to the me that thought “give it your best” just a second ago: fuck you!! Fuck it all!! [TN: LOL! This page cracks me up…Yuuho’s using “fakku” in the Japanese] / That guy really is an idiot after all!! That guys as thick as two short planks, just acting according to what his instincts tell him to do!! Someone: What’cha doing!? Yuuho, you come help stop that guy as well!!
-page 8- Fujishiro (1st panel, in pic): Shiii~t!! Fujishiro (2nd panel, in pic): Let me ouuu~t!! Nakanishi: Shuddup, you freak!! Like we’d forgive you that easily!! / If you wanna vent your anger, do it somewhere else!! // Listen up Fujishiro… / if you really want to play basketball seriously then say so and I’ll acknowledge you as a member of the club!! / If your fighting spirit’s that strong I think you’re born to be a sportsman!! I really do!! / But now / if all you’re gonna do is stupid shit and you’re nothing but a pain in the ass, as soon as I think so, I’ll chuck you out of here!! / Same goes for you, Atsumu!! Don’t say things that might provoke him!! // …I don’t wanna have to repeat myself! / If something like this happens again, I the respective person will have to bear the consequences! // When things turn out bad you might even get suspended from participating in official games!! And that’s about now!! これからって時に！！
-page 9- Nakanishi: You’re trampling the feelings of every member of the basketball club with your childish fights!! / You get what I’m saying!? // Until you do we’ll leave you here to cool your head off!! / Alright everyone, practice starts from here!! Members: Ah… / Y-yes!! Fujishiro (panel 4): Buhuhuu~ Yuuho (panel 4): *surprise* Fujishiro: *sniff*…I bothered all…all the others…I’m the worst… <Especially Koganei-san> / *sob* / *sniff* / I’m nothing but poo…no, even less then poo…I’m not even poo…I’d die to be poo… Yuuho: What’s this all about? Fujishiro: In order to atone for my misdoing I have no other choice but to become one hell of a player and lead Yashiba to victory!!! // But before I can accomplish that I have to destroy the root of Yashiba’s trouble, that shitty playboy fuck Komuta!! And I have to do that NOW!! <Oh yeah, thanks for letting me out, mole> Yuuho: Ahh~ I misjudged him yet again!!
-page 10- Josh: …That / That isn’t Suzuki-san’s property [TN: Josh speaks Japanese – yay!! He seems to have a little accent which is indicated by use of わ instead は as well as Katakana at some points. I got no idea how to visualize this properly (thought about putting some minor typos in there that bear the sound but that turned out stupid, so let’s keep it in italics)] Mashibara-sensei: Let’s leave it like this for today. / You really have improved greatly in such a short period of time Josh: Thank you very much. It’s all thanks to your guidance, Mashibara-sensei Mashibara-sensei: Oh no, you don’t learn by just being taught. You also have to feel like “I wanna talk” // There hasn’t been a single one among my students who could really speak English until graduation…ah well, guess that’s my bad as well <hahaha> / After this improvement / …it’s been even more fun, huh? The basketball club that is…
-page 11- Josh: Yeah! / Lately, Yashiba’s been thinking about a way to win against the kings of Souei all the time… / It’s so mind-wracking, when I’m on my way home the passer-bys turn into opposing defense players… Mashibara-sensei: Hahaha…sounds like your way home is a tough challenge. / So understanding your team member’s individual power as well as your tactical possibilities is also part of you work as a point guard, hm? Josh: Yeah…oh…you seem to know quite a lot about basketball!! Mashibara-sensei: It’s because I used to watch a lot of games during my overseas studies. / …I hope you'll win Josh: We will! // Because Yashiba’s the best team there is!
-page 12- Chick: Ah, it’s Josh! / Joshiii~!! Hello~!! Josh: Oh, hello. How are you? Chick: Wha~t!? How cool!! He spoke Japanese!! Josh or Chick (3rd panel, in pic): See ya~
-page 13- Josh (last panel): That height and power… / What’re we gonna do about it…?
-page 14- Someone: Wo~ah, so good!! Nakanishi: Hey you idiot!! Fujishiro!! / You can’t kick the ball!! / That’s a foul!!
-page 15- Someone: Wow!! / Nice one, Atsumu!! Nakanishi: Wah, you stupid fuck, Fujishiro!! / What do you think you’re tackling him for just because he came past you!? That’s even more of a foul!!
-page 16- Fujishiro: What’s this shit…I’m the only one who’s accused of foul playing…does everyone hate me!? Yuuho: Aahhh!! C-c’mon, it the just starting from here!! <let’s learn the rules together!> // Well, it’s easy to say so but there’s just no way in hell, this guy can beat Atsumu in basketball…to put it simple, it’s a matter of time…!!! Fujishiro: I’ll stop youuuuu!!
-page 17- no text
-page 18- Everyone: Wo~w!! Nice, Atsumu!!! Yuuho: Hehe…well, that just now was because you fell for his faint…well, um… Josh: Nice to meet you Yuuho: Oh Josh Josh: Who’s that? Yuuho: Oh, um, he’s that Fujishiro everybody talked about when we were on our way home from Souei. It’s bad, he’s even more of an idiot than they said… Fujishiro: I’ll crush you…Komutaa~… Josh: Crush…? That’s good…let’s crush him! Yuuho: HUH!? <on top of that: where’d you learn such words!?>
-page 19- Yuuho: What’re you saying!? / If they were to start a fight things will get really nasty… Fujishiro: What’re you saying? Yuuho: A-ha…um, nothing…just that your hair’s cool Fujishiro: …oh, thank you Josh: A fight? No // Let’s crush Atumu at basketball…!!! [TN: Nope, he still can’t pronounce that name…]

-page 1- Chapter 12 – Fujishiro Tatsuya
巨大なる男、幸いとなるか災厄となるか…!? A man like a giant, will he be a blessing or a disaster…!?
-page 2- The dangerous guy who’s got a shared destiny with Komuta!? Haraguchi: Fujishiro Tatsuya / A first year / tall like a giant / That boaster with an afro…don’t you know him? / Well, I guess it’s not that surprising, you don’t know him… He fought with Atsumu and was suspended from school for it… <So he didn’t attend school> Yuuho: …I see… Girl: You want to receive another arrest for fighting!? Don’t be stupid, Atsumu! Yuuho (thoughts): I’d always been wondering about it…so that’s the reason for his arrest…
-page 3- Haraguchi: Well, rather than a fight, it was more like that guy started lashing about all of a sudden Yuuho: Huh!? You were there and saw it!? Haraguchi: Yeah yeah, the whole basketball club did Yuuho: Huh? How comes that!? Haraguchi: Ah, well, it’s because Fujishiro was part of the basketball club for one day Yuuho: W-what!? Haraguchi: You see, on his first day after entering the club he fought with Atsumu and that’s about it Atsumu: …You know what // why don’t we stop that story here? [TN: Badass Atsumu ftw] Haraguchi: Huh? Why that? / Why? Yuuho (thoughts): Hey, Gucchan!! Stop it, Gucchan!! おお こえー…今 鐘すげーこえーオーラだしたよ 仲イイっつっても やっぱ 鐘はオレとかとは種類が違う… 生きてきた過程が違うっつーか… Yuuho: Ah, let’s leave it like this then // Oh wow, that was scary…Atsumu had some crazy shit aura around him just now! Even if we get along pretty well, we’re definitely not tarred with the same brush…or maybe our experience of life is just different… <above Yuuho’s head: I wonder…>
-page 4- Shitty bully: Hey Satou // d’you know the reason for this? // sfx: *pat* // Not there // That thing // Those moles that look like tears really are really pissing of, don’t you think so? / Don’t you think it’d be better to cover them? <kukuku…> / And after that you have to fix that school uniform of yours, c'mon!! That’s violating the school regulations!! Yuuho: Ah…yeah // Oh…yeah…
-page 5- Eguchi: You tend to do that every once in a while, huh? Yuuho: Oh no…I was just remembering something unpleasant / Rather, that Fujishiro…picking a fight with Atsumu… / An afro, huh… Someone (Nakanishi?): Ahh, that Fujishiro…
-page 6- Nakanishi: He really was huge / Over 1,90m, wasn’t he? Yaguchi: Yeah yeah / And he was a fast runner and had enormous jumping power… Yuuho: Wow, sounds like he was amazing…was he an experienced player? Nakanishi: Nah, he just had the amazing abilities of a natural athlete Yaguchi: It’s like, if he’d been serious about it, his powers would be amazing about now 何か…聞いちゃ マズいんすかね… …あの鐘と Yuuho: This might be kinda…awkward to ask about but…y'know, that story with Atsumu Nakanishi: Huh? Not really!? Ah, that’s right, you hadn’t been here yet then Yuuho: So, did he start lashing about all of a sudden and stuff…? Nakanishi: Well no, I wouldn’t say all of a sudden… Ide: I’m Ide Akinobu. I might be a beginner, but I’ll do my best Nakanishi(?): Oh, that’s alright. Beginners are more than welcome / Well, next is the manager
-page 7- Koganei: I’m Koganei Mao / Nice to meet you all Atsumu: She’s just pretending to be that nice. You guys better be careful <in picture sfx: hahaha> Koganei: What’s that!? Seriously, stop catering me some weird image!! Atsumu: There it is, that’s her real self Someone: You guys seem to get along quite well Fujishiro: Huff, huff Yuuho: Hoho~ <So Koganei-san’s the reason behind this> Yaguchi: Yeah, no doubt about it <just like with you> / Because of that, his competitiveness was fired up and he wished to slug it out but…
-page 8- Someone: Nice defence! You stopped him well, Atsumu!! Fujishiro (thoughts): So I just have to stop them? Nakanishi: Hey, you idiot!! What’cha think you’re doing!? Don’t lift him up!! Fujishiro: Why!!? In the same panel: Huh!? Yuuho: …I see…so that’s…how he was like… <He even asked “why”> Yaguchi: Concerning Atsumu, because he’s got an older brother in our grade we got along quite well Yuuho: Oh, is that so? いろんな意味で特別扱いしてたトコもあったりして…….. Nakanishi: Yeah yeah, for that reason we already knew each other even before Atsumu joined our school / so we gave him a bit of a special treatment for various reasons……. // Irritated and pissed / Fujishiro boiled over with anger at out meeting after the training
-page 9- Yaguchi: Atsumu even controlled himself at first…but at some point he snapped and struck back / The girls’ volleyball coach saw that…so we had no chance to excuse it Nakanishi: Ah well, but I’m glad he came back //Alright, c’mon!! Assemble!! Everyone: Yes!! Yuuho: I see…so that’s the whole story behind it… // So Fujishiro also had his eyes on Koganei-chan… // I understand his feelings in his position // But beating that Atsumu // And being on par with him…he really is a ferocious guy…
-page 10- Fujishiro: Yo // Hey you, wait! / Seeing your shoes, you’re from the basketball club, ain’t ya!? / Your training's about to start, right!? Yuuho in first panel (in picture): Well then Yuuho (thoughts): A huge guy with an afro…there’s no doubt!! That guy’s Fujishiro!! / What’d he come here for…!!? / Don’t tell me… Fujishiro: …My arrest has ended…that day has finally arrived…
-page 11- Fujishiro: The day I will kill Atsumu!! …Aahh~~…what’s this!? / I just can’t hold it back…this fighting spirit of mine…...I’ll just do some warm-up exercises / Alriii~~ght!! Yuuho (first panel): Just as I thought!! This is bad!! Yuuho (thoughts): He reached the ring with such ease…!!? That’s amaz… <sfx: Oohhhhh>
-page 12- Fujishiro: Whew!! Whew!! Whew!! Whew!! Yuuho (thoughts): ……ohh!! A handstand…on the ring!!? That’s amazing…but… / no, that guy’s insane…he must have some screw loose or something!!! <in pic: what’s that>
-page 13- Fujishiro: Whew!! / Whew!! // Whew!! Yuuho (thoughts): That guy ain’t normal… // This is bad…at this rate… Atsumu: Why don’t we stop that story here? Yuuho: If those two were to clash…!! // it won’t be just a normal fight…!!!
-page 14- Fujishiro: Alright…now focus on the fight…and while waiting for him, I’ll polish up / my spirit 暴力事件で…山場停止とか… Yuuho: …if this goes on… // We’ll be suspended for a violent incident…just when we hit our peak
-page 15- Yuuho: Um, Atsumu is our ace so if he’s not here, we’ll be in trouble…so… / um… // …so if you want to vent your anger… / then, um… // It’s okay to hit me instead…
-page 16- Yuuho: Ugh! Fujishiro: Who said, I came here in order to hit Komuta? / It’s true that he makes me sick, however, I’d be an idiot if I were to just act violently / Do you think I’m an idiot? Yuuho (thoughts): Tch…this idiot… Box: By the way: this was last week Fujishiro: I thought about during my suspension
-page 17- Fujishiro: I won against him in a fist fight / but that was no real victory // My battle with him wasn’t supposed to be something like that / so, in order to win… // I have to…I just have to beat him in the thing he values most // I will beat that guy in basketball // I came here today in order to join the basketball club once again
-page 18- Fujishiro: Alriii~ght, after saying those things just now, I’m all pumped up!! / Let’s play a round!! こいつなりに鐘のバスケへの想いを感じとったから…? Yuuho: Oh…okay!! // Alright, he’s a complete freak but…somehow I really want to play him now…!! Is it because he's become aware of Atsumu's dedication towards Basketball…? // No matter what it is, that guy might have also changed when he came in touch with basketball ---- just like me…!! // I will answer them // Those feelings!!
-page 19- Fujishiro: Alright Yuuho: Huh…w-wait a minute…haha…um… / this is…grabbling is…that’s a foul… / Hey / Seriously!! / Stop it, for rea… / aAHH… <sfx: DIEEEEEE> In Picture: What will Yashiba’s basketball club do about this!!?
Really, what will you do about this!? (tagline)https://mangahelpers.com/t/mr-prince/releases/13296[English] [Translation] Hoop Men 11 by Mr. Prince2009-06-15T20:23:06+00:00Mr. Princeadmin@mangahelpers.comCan I apply for a rank called "lazy bum translator"? I currently really lack some drive...right now I should analyze some poetry for university rather than getting this translation ready I started more than a week ago. But on the other hand, translating is fun. I'm getting faster and I need to use the denshi jisho a lot less frequently - that makes me happy. : )
If you read this and feel like helping: This chapter as well as chap 10 still could need a check up by some versed English speaker! (Of course: Thanks to all the guys from the accuracy checking, too. I really appreciate your work!)
-----------------------------------
-page 1- Yuuho: Satou-kun (name assumed) I’ll surpass you…it’s decided!!!! Nakanishi: Hell yeah, that’s the way, Yuuho!!! Shit, my position as a starter will be in danger!! Yuuho: Hmpf…you’re exaggerating… It’s only the start from here Koganei: Satou-kun… Yuuho: What’s it, Koganei? I’m busy right now, you know Koganei: Oh no!! Stop calling me Koganei!! I want to be called by my assumed name as well…!!!
よみがえるあの興奮が...いきすぎて!? His restored drive…is going a bit over the top!? (side)
-page 2- Koganei: Just call me by my assumed name: Satou Mao…♡ Yuuho: Hey there…no need for that to be just assumed Koganei: Ah!! That’s right ♡ Stupid me ♡ Fellow 1: ……That guy being like that Usually you would think he’s sick or something Eguchi: Seems like you’ve been quite in a good mood lately, Yuuho? Yuuho: Yeah, seems so…you know, like Ever since that game against Toki Central my tension’s been piling up チームとしても オレ個人も1つ上のステージに上がれたっ てのはあるよね あ コレ 伝わるかなー 日本一目指すメンタリ Yuuho: As a team, and individually, we've really taken a step up onto another stage. Oh yeah, and just so that you know it, we’ve set our minds on becoming Japan’s number one! Fellow 1: Oh shuddup! Quit it! Really, just let it be Eguchi: Hahaha…since the basketball club’s having a day off, why don’t you come messing about with us so I can listen to your martial story? Yuuho: Sorry, Eguchi!! Got some business to do today… There’s a person waiting for me <at the school gate> Eguchi: A person? …who might that be?
-page 3- Taking the next step / that girl waiting for Yuuho… / That’s…!? (in picture)
Fellow 1: …..um…. / Who’s that? // …his girlfriend? // Damn, it’s come true!! I always thought that this might happen one day!! ユーホだろーが何だろーが「バスケ部」ってだけでカッコイイとか勘違いしちやうバカ女 A woman stupid enough to mistakenly think that Yuuho’s from the basketball club and therefore has to be some super cool guy [TN: All the same bubble since “damn”] <sfx: shiii~t> Eguchi: Ah, no… / I’m quite sure, that girl’s…
-page 4- Captain Ideguchi: Hey // Sorry about earlier // Today you guys really gave it to us Other Tokiwa player: Haha…but Yashiba’s become really strong and it’s not just their new members who joined / Nakanishi and the others have also improved Yuuho: …what’s this atmosphere? Someone go reply to them…huh, what? Me? I’ve got to!? // Ah no, not at all…hahaha Ideguchi: If we’re facing each other at the summer tournament it won’t be the same as today, you better remember that Yuuho: Ah…yes!!!
-page 5- Tokiwa player: Ah~ well, looks like we really got a long way to go before we can beat teams like Souei, haha Yuuho: Souei? // …when they said Souei did they mean Souei Academy? Is their basketball club strong? Haraguchi: You bet! / They’ve been the rulers of Tokyo for more than 10 years now Yuuho: Wow…!! / Speaking of it, Souei isn’t that… // Yo! Fellow 1: His cousin!? That girl!? [TN: In the Japanese it’s literally “Cousin? Yuuhos?” but that sounds just off so I put it like that to fill both bubbles] Eguchi: Yeah, yeah. That’s Hana-chan. / They had been together until elementary school…if I’m not mistaken she’s attending Souei Academy now… Box: And so…
-page 6- Box continued: I thought, if we’re aiming for top of the country, we got to know the current rulers Yuuho: Hey Hana, been a long time… 何か情報が聞き出せるかもと思って 電話してみたら何つう偶然 Box: So when I called her, thinking about trying to get some information from her, as luck would have it… Haraguchi: SAY WHA~T!!? / The manager of Souei’s basketball club is Yuuho’s cousin!? // And she’s so cute…!!!! Hana: What? No…
-page 7- Hana: Yuuho-chi~n…you said you’d be alo~ne… Yuuho: Yeah, that one’s a bit of a weird guy but don’t mind him // So anyway, I called and asked her if she could give us some information or something / And it seems like Souei’s coach said, it’d be ok for us to watch their training!! Yashiba guys: For real!!!? Hana: So why Yuuho-chi~n…you know I’m no good with this kind of situation, don’t you / Uwa~h, there’s also a foreigner…what’s he staring at…? / Ahh~~… Yuuho: Oh just shuddup already, you’re still not cured of that shyness of yours? Haraguchi: Yuuho, you bastard!!! Watch you tongue!!! <sfx Hana: *whisper, whisper*> <sfx Haraguchi: Hey~> Atsumu: Hey there / it’s OK to let us watch since it’s just Yashiba? / Like, there’s no way you’d lose to a team like us?
-page 8- Hana: Ah no, it’s like…uwa~…Yuuho-chin, no good / A super hot guy’s talking to me, what shall I do!!? Yuuho: Oh geez!! You idiot girl!! I asked for your help so speak clearly!! You’re embarrassing me!!! Haraguchi: Yuuho!!! Who’s an idiot, huh!? Who’s an idiot!!? Atsumu: Seems like we’re taken lightly… Hana: Oh no!!! / It’s like, we won’t lose to anybody in Tokyo this year, that’s for sure!!! / So, it’s got nothing to do with Yashiba or anything!!! I swear… / Snap!! <I said it>
-page 9- Atsumu: I see // Well…let’s go then, off to Souei Academy Hana: Uwa~h!!! Haraguchi: Woah, stop it!! Atsumu!!! Yuuho: Quit it!! It’s gross!!! From a relative’s point of view!! Box: There’s no such thing like a certain victory, I thought // But after seeing Souei Academy’s training my feelings of aiming for the nationals were rocked, that’s for sure Souei Academy – Gym
-page 10- Haraguchi: Wow…that many!! Yuuho: There are even more than at Toki Central Hana: Yuuho-chin!! Please watch from above!! 異様に感じられるほど機械的なリズムで進んでいく練習と / 時に"ケンカしてんの!?"と勘違いしてしまうような部員達の気迫に圧倒されて Box: They continued their training with a mechanical rhythm to a point where it almost felt strange / Sometimes we were so overwhelmed by everyone’s spirits we mistakenly thought they were having a fight / We went there to scout them but I don’t remember much of when I was watching them… / Just the things Haraguchi said… Haraguchi: I want to watch more events like this <Everyone’s overwhelming>
-page 11- Haru: Oh supinator muscle… Josh: They’re amazing… / They’re individual level is really high… / …but even among those… number 10 and number 9 are a whole different story…!!! Box: And I also remember how Josh kept on saying those lines over and over Yuuho: Yeah // No doubt…they’re formidable but… Box: The thing that had the biggest impact on me was when we went to greet the coach after training was over…
-page 12- no text – just a single eyebrowed giant
-page 13- Yuuho: Thanks for today, Hana!! // That one huge guy was amazing!! It’s the first time I saw a human that tall!! Box: To be honest, I was ticked off! // And I understood Hana’s confidence back then Hana: Ahh~~!! You mean Akita-kun, don’t you!? // He’s a first year just like we are!! Yuuho: Say what!!? You kidding!!? Box: Though I don’t know when Hana became interested in basketball Hana: In current high school basketball there are a lot of teams that emphasize swift attacks like run & shoot or use big guys as their axis // But our five guys’ greatest strength is that they are balanced enough to adapt to any type of opponent Box: And she explained to us why this year’s Souei is that strong of a team / I mean, c’mon, give us a break already
-page 14- 練習を見た後から そいつらが 発してる空気だけで 創瑛がいかに 遠い存在なのかはわかってんだから Box: After we saw them practice, just from the atmosphere those guys were exuding / We easily understood just how far out of our league Souei was. Yuuho: …oh well // we’ll puzzle something out, right Josh!? // We’ll just puzzle something out, right!? Let’s go to the nationals!! Josh: …no… // If you’re looking at it calmly…I don’t think the current Yashiba can win against Souei… / Now matter how you split it… Haraguchi: What’s it?
-page 15- Haraguchi: Ah…yeah…even when from Souei’s three key figures number 10 and 9 are marked by Josh and Atsumu…there’s still no one to take or of that number 15 / In terms of height there’s Atsumu but when it’s a battle of power…and we can’t leave that number 9 unmarked either… Haraguchi: That’s true… / I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone that big in whole Yashiba High Yuuho: …it’s a real barrier blocking our way to the nationals… Haraguchi: Wait, there is one!! A huge guy!! <sfx Yuuho: There is?> Komuta: Oh~!! Haraguchi-ku~n!! / You realised!? You really realised!!? <sfx >Yuuho: Who?> Haraguchi: But you know…that guy…seems like he got into yet another fight…
-page 16- Atsumu: That guy’s too much of an idiot
-page 17- 戦えど戦えど / 心の乾きが増していくのは / 宿命の敵に出会ってしまったから / 感じる Delinquent: To battle and battle / I can feel it / the thirst in my heart is swelling / since I have met my destined rival [TN: Thanks to Laika for his suggestions here!!]
-page 18- 血が 肉が 骨が 魂が / 俺を構成する全てが / 奴との戦いを欲している Delinquent: My blood, flesh, bones and soul / everything that composes me / craves for a fight with that bastard…
-page 19- Delinquent: …Komuta…!!!

Don’t say things to provoke him!! -I don’t want to have to keep repeating myself -If something like last time happens again I won’t show any mercy for the individuals responsible -If it goes badly you’ll be suspended for a season too!!

The teacher is speaking english) -Sore wa… (That) -Sore wa Suzuki-san no mono de wa arimasen (That does not belong to Suzuki-san) -Good! -Let’s leave it at that for today -Your Japanese has become very good in such a short time -Arigatou Gozaimasu, Matsubara-sensei no okage desu (Thank you very much, it is all because of Matsubara-sensei) -No no, you don’t gain anything just by being taught, you have to have desire too, like ‘I want to talk’ -I haven’t had a single student who has been able to speak English before they graduate… thought that’s my fault too I suppose h/w- Hahaha… -Since you’ve improved -It’s been quite fun hasn’t it, the basketball club
11 -Yes!! -Lately Yashiba is always thinking of ways to beat the champions, Souei… -I get so caught up in it on my way home I start to see passersby as the defence… -Haha, going home must be difficult then -Understanding your teammates’ abilities and the team’s battle skill is also the job of the Point Guard -Yes… Oh… You’re quite knowledgeable aren’t you? -I often went to watch basketball when I was on exchange -…I hope you manage to win -We will win -Yashiba wa Ichiban Teemu desu kara (Because Yashiba is the number one team) -Good!

13 -That height and power… -How do we oppose that…?
15 -Yeah!! -Nice shot Atsumu!! -Ah, you retard Fujishiro!! -You can’t tackle him because he passed you!! That’s even more of a foul!!
16 -What is this… I’m the only one getting fouls… does everyone hate me? -Aaaah! Everything starts now you know!? h/w- Let’s learn the rules!! -Is what I say but there’s no way this guy can beat Atsumu in basketball… to put it simply time is a problem…!!! -I’ll stop youuuuuuu

No -Basketto de Atumu wo buttsubusu shimashou…!!! (Let’s crush Atumu in basketball!!) (T/N: Not a typo, he still pronounces Atsumu’s name retarded.

01 Chapter 12 Fujishiro Tatsuya Tagline- The Giant Man, Will He Be A Blessing Or A Curse…!?
02 -Fujishiro Tatsuya -First Year -Giant -You know, the one with the afro… you don’t know him? Tagline- The dangerous guy who has a beef with Komuta!? -Well, I suppose that’s not all that surprising, he fought with Atsumu and got suspended and all.. h/w- So he wasn’t at school -…Yeah… -On probation because of fighting!! Are you an idiot Atsumu!? -I was always wondering about it, so that’s why he was on probation…
03 -I said fight but actually that guy just randomly started throwing punches -Eh, you saw it go down Gucchan? -Yeah, the whole basketball club saw -What, why? -Ah, cuz Fujishiro was part of the basketball club for one day -What? -He fought with Atsumu on his first day and that was that -…Hey you guys -How bout you stop talking about that? -Eh? Why? -Why? -Oi Gucchan!! Gucchan!! -Oh well, whatever -Ooh that was scary, Atsumu had a really scary aura just now. You could say we get along pretty well but he really is a different breed to me… or maybe he operates under different processes… h/w- Hmm
04 -Hey Satou -Do you know why I hit you? -Other side -That -Those double tear moles piss people off don’t you think? -Ah… yeah -Don’t you reckon you should cover them up? Hahahaha -And then come on, you gotta fasten the neck of your uniform!! That’s against the rules!! -Ah… yeah…
05 -Yuuho, you’ve got a weird habit of doing that sometimes -Ugh… remembered something unpleasant -Moreover this Fujishiro… to throw punches at Atsumu… -…An afro huh… -Ah, Fujishiro right
06 -He really was huge -Over 190 right? -Yeah -But he had quick feet and jumping power… -Eh, isn’t that kinda amazing? Did he have experience? -Nah, he was one of those natural athletes -If he’d done it properly he’d probably have crazy battle strength now -It might be kinda… bad to ask but… the thing with Atsumu… -Ah? Oh yeah, you weren’t here back then hey Yuuho -So he just started throwing punches all of a sudden… -Nah, I wouldn’t say all of a sudden -I’m Ide Akinobu, I’m a beginner but I’ll do my best -Oh that’s fine, we welcome beginners -Okay, so now the manager
07 -Koganei Mao here -Nice to meet you -She’s pretty fake, be careful guys h/w- Hahaha -What was that!? Don’t give me some weird image!! -There it is, that’s her real personality -You guys seem to get along well h/w- Woah sfx bubbles- Huff huff -Ho ho h/w- So he was after Koganei-san -Well yeah, no doubt about that h/w- Just like you -So his antagonism against Atsumu was all fired up and he tried to compete with him, but…
08 -Nice defence, well guarded Atsumu!! -I just have to stop him huh -Oi, what’re you doing you idiot, don’t pick him up!! -Why!!? -What -Heh… so he was like that huh… h/w- The ‘Why’ is pretty amazing -As for Atsumu, he’s got a brother our age so we already got along with him pretty well -What, really!? -Yeah, so we knew him before he joined the club -I guess we kinda gave him special treatment -That pissed Fujishiro off -He just exploded during the after practice meeting…
09 -Atsumu controlled himself at first… then he snapped right at the end and started thumping him back -The girls’ volleyball coach saw from there… we couldn’t make any excuses -Geez… but I’m glad he came back! -Alright let’s go!! Assemble!! -Yeah!! -I see… so that’s how it was… -So Fujishiro had his eye on Koganei-chan too… -I understand his feelings position-wise… -But to hit that Atsumu… -Not losing or being inferior to Atsumu, what an insane guy…
10 -Hey h/w- Well then -Oi, hey, wait -Those shoes, you’re basketball club right? -You’re gonna practice now aren’t you? -A huge afro guy… no doubt about it!! This is Fujishiro!! -What’d he come here for…!!? -It couldn’t be… -…My probation is over… This day has finally come…
11 -The day I defeat Atsumu!! Ah, what is this -It’s defiantly as bad as it seems!! -I can’t control it… this fighting spirit… guess I should warm up… -Alright!! -To the ring, so easily…!!? -Wow… h/w- Yeeeeeeeeaaaah
12 -Ugh!! Ugh!! Ugh!! Ugh!! -…Woah!!! A handstand… on the ring!!? No… it’s amazing but… -No… I have no words… is this guy missing a few screws!!? h/w- What’s that
13 -Ugh!! -Ugh!! -Ugh!! -This guy ain’t normal… -This is bad, at this rate… -How bout you stop talking about that? -If those two clash…!! -It won’t just be a normal fight…!!!
14 -Alright… think about the fight… polish up my ki… -And wait -…If this goes down now… -Suspended for… violence…
15 -Ah, Atsumu is our ace so if he’s not here we’ll be in a pickle so… -Um… -…If you’ve got some hard feelings -Um… -You can hit me instead so…
16 -Ooof! -Who came here to hit Komuta? -It’s true he pissed me off, but I’d be an idiot if I just resorted to violence -Do you think I’m an idiot? -Ku… This idiot is… -On a completely unrelated note, this is last week -I thought about it while I was suspended
17 -I beat him in a punch up but -That’s not a real win -My fight with him wasn’t a punch up so -In order to beat him… -I have to beat him in that… in the thing that’s important to him -I’ll beat him in basketball -I came today to join the basketball club again
18 -Alright, I said it aloud now I’m pumped!! -Let’s play!! -Ah…Yeah!! -Yeah… he’s all over the place but… all of a sudden I feel like playing…!! Is it cuz I sensed his feelings toward Atsumu…? -Whatever the case this guy might be someone who was touched by basketball and was changed by it… Like me!! -I’ll answer them -Those feelings!!
19 -Alright -Eh… wait… haha… um… -This is… grabbing is… against the… -No -Hey seriously -Seriously sto- -Aaah… h/w- DIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE -What will you do, Yashiba High Basketball Club!!?

From now on, everyone who’s name I have forgotten is B… I’m sick of making up letters since they change every chapter anyway. The supporting characters don’t stand out at all~
Hoopmen 11
01 Y- Surpass Satou-kun (tentative) and… decide iiiiiiiit!!!! C- Aaaalright good Yuuho!!! B- Dammit, my position as a starter is uncertain!! h/w- Yeeeeaaaah Y- Hmph… You’re exaggerating… Y- It all starts from here K- Satou-kun… Y- What is it Koganei I’m busy right now h/w- Tsk… K- No!! Don’t call me Koganei!! K- I want a (tentative) name too…!!! Tagline- That excitement is reborn… to the extreme!?
02 K- Call me Satou Mao (tentative)…<3 Y- Hey hey… you don’t need (tentative) there K- Ah!! That’s right <3 Silly me <3 B- You know, usually when he’s like this B- I’d think he was sick or something B- Lately you’ve been in a really good mood, Yuuho Y- I guess, well, it’s like Y- Ever since the Tokichuu match the tension has been really high!! Y- For one thing as an individual… and as a team, we were able to go up a level. Ah, I wonder if I should tell you this… we’re aiming for number one in Japan B- Shutup, seriously quit it, really quit it B- Hahaha, you have a day off basketball club today right? I’ll listen to your saga, so come hang out with us Y- Sorry Eguchi!! I have something I gotta do today Y- Someone’s waiting for me H/w- At the school gate B- ‘Someone’? …Who?
03 Chapter 11 Let’s go on reconnaissance Tagline- Taking the next step forward, the girl waiting for Yuuho… This is…!? B- ….What B- Who’s that? B- …Girlfriend? B- And it has appeared!! I thought it might some day!! Whether it’s Yuuho or whoever, a stupid girl who would mistake just being on the basketball team for meaning he must be cool h/w- Shiiiiit B- Ah, no… B- If I remember correctly, that girl is…
04 B- Hey B- Sorry about earlier B- We were totally flattened today B- Haha… Yashiba has really gotten stronger, and it’s not just that new members joined B- Nakanishi and the other’s movements have improved Y- …What’s with this atmosphere!? Someone make a comeback… Eh, what, me? Me!? Y- Ah, no, Not at all hahaha… B- If we meet up at the summer tournament it won’t go like today, remember that Y- Ah… yes!!
05 B- Ah, but we’ve still got a long way till we can compete with Knockdown Souei right, haha Y- …Souei? Y- …By Souei you mean Souei Acadamy? Are they strong players? B- Hell yes!! B- They’ve been the champions of Tokyo for more than ten years now Y- Really!? Y- Now you mention it Souei is… Y- Hey B- Cousin!? B- Yuuho’s!? B- Yeah, Hana-chan B- They were together till elementary school… if I’m not mistaken she goes to Souei Academy now Y- And so
06 Y- If we’re aiming for nationals we gotta know the champions Y- Hey Hana-chan, long time no see Y- And coincidently, when I called her thinking to try and get some info about the basketball club B- Whaaaat!!? B- Yuuho’s cousin!? Is Souei’s basketball club’s manager!? B- And… she’s cute…!!! H- No…
07 H- Yuuho-chiin…. You said you’d be alone… Y- Ah, they’re kinda weird but don’t mind them Y- So yeah, I called her and asked if she’d give us some information or something Y- And it seems like the coach said it’s cool for us to sit in on practice!! B- Serious!!!? H- Yuuhoooo-chiin, why~… you know I’m bad with stuff like this H-Uwaaah… there’s a foreigner too… why’s he staring… Y- Geez shutup, you’re still not cured of that shyness? B- Yuuho hey!!! That’s no way to talk to a lady!!! K- Hey K- Are you letting us watch cuz it’s Yashiba? K- Cuz there’s no way you could lose to us?
08 H- Ah no… Uwaa… Yuuho-chin help H- A hot guy is talking to me!! What do I do!? Y- No you help!! Dumb girl!! I’m counting on you so at least talk!! You’re so embarrassing!!! B- Hey!!! What do you mean dumb!? K- We’re being underestimated huh… H- Ah!!! H- There’s no way we’re gonna lose at Tokyo this year!! For sure!! H- So it’s not because it’s Yashiba!!! Honestly… H- Ah!! h/w- I said it… (T/N: Lol at Josh making a peace sign in the back XD)
09 K- Oh? K- Okay okay, then shall we go? To Souei Academy H- Uwaaah B- Aaaah!! Quit it Atsumu!!! Y- Quit it!! It’s creepy!!! From a relative’s point of view!!! Y- There’s no way you won’t lose for certain, I thought Y- But after seeing Souei’s practice, my feelings about aiming for the nationals were shaken, that’s for sure Souei Academy Gym
10 B- Wow… there’s so many!! B- There’s even more than Tokichuu!! H- Yuuho-chin! He says you can watch from up there!! Y- Their practice continued mechanically to the point where it felt weird Y- And we were overwhelmed by the team members’ spirits, that we could easily mistake as ‘Are you guy’s gonna fight!?’ Y- We came to spy but I didn’t remember much while I was watching… just B- I wanna watch tournaments like this h/w- They’re all so good Y- Basically what Haraguchi said
11 h/w- Yeaaaaaaaaaaah B- Supinator-san… J- Amazing… J- Each and every player is at a high level J- …But, number ten and number nine are at even more of a different level…!!! Y- And Josh repeating that over and over Y- Yeah Y- Well yeah… they’re really good but… Y- What surprised me more than anything else is that when we went to greet the coach when practice was over…
12 -- (T/N: OMG lol that actually scared me when I turned the page XD)
13 Y- Thanks for today Hana!! Y- To be honest I’m depressed Y- That huge guy was amazing!! That’s the first time I’ve ever seen a human that huge!! Y- I understand why Hana’s so confident H- Ah!! H- Akita-kun right!? H- He’s a first year, same as us!! Y- What!!? Seriously!? Y- I don’t know when Hana got interested in basketball H- Right now high school basketball there are a lot of teams that either emphasise speed or big guys as their axis H- Our five guys’ greatest strength is that they are balanced and can adapt to any type of opponent Y- But she told us why Souei are strong Y- Actually, come on, give us a break already
14 Y- Because after watching the practice, I knew just by the atmosphere these guys were emitting Y- Just how much of a faraway existence Souei was Y- …Well you know Y- We’ll think of something right!? Josh!! Y- We’ll think of something!! Let’s go to the nationals!! J- …No… J- Looking at it rationally… I don’t think the current Yashiba can win against Souei… J- No matter how you slice it… B- What’d he say?
15 B- Ah… yeah… from Souei’s main three, even with Josh and Atsumu marking number nine and ten… there’s no one who can keep number fifteen in check B- In terms of height there’s Atsumu, but if it was a bout of strength… and we can’t leave number nine open either… B- That’s right… B- I don’t think there’s someone that big in the whole of Yashiba High Y- …So this is the real wall between us and the nationals… B- There is one!! A big guy!! h/w- There is? K- Yeah!! Haraguchi-kun!! K- You realised!? You realised didn’t you!!? h/w- Who? B- But you know… that guy right… Seems like he got into another fight…
16 K- He’s too foolish, that guy
17 B- I fight and fight B- And the dryness in my heart increases B- Because I have met my fated enemy B- I feel it
18 B- My blood, my flesh, my bones, my soul B- All that composes me B- Desires to fight with him…

01 Left sign- Hashiba Right sign- Tokiwa Chuuou Tagline- Overwhelming! And…!! B- Shit…!! Against Yashiba… Against Tameyoshi… How could this happen!? B- Only five minutes remaining… normally this would be the time we’d be pulling back our main force and sending out our second stringers… C- Yashiba, member change!! D- Alright Yuuho I’m going one step ahead! Y- Okay C- Put your heart in it!!
02 Tagline- All eleven members of the Yashiba basketball club!! The five members succeeding the starters, go!! D- Alright!! Chapter 10 Debut The story thus far Exchange student Josh, translator Yuuho, Ace Komuta, these three combine in the fired up Yashiba High Basketball Club! The match with Tokiwa Chuuou is overwhelming with the actions of Komuta and Josh!! And Tameyoshi’s declaration that all members will play!!
03 B- Ugh…!! h/w- Second stringers…!! E- An all member change with Tokichuu as our opponents, this is a first F- Cuz usually it’s us getting thwarted E- Yeah yeah, moreover we’re competing with the second stringers instead F- its humiliation time h/w- Hahahaha B- Grr!! h/w- Grin…
04 B- We’re changing all our members too B- Third stringers figure it out yourselves B- …And B- First and second stringers, come outside with me for a second B- Our first stringers being made to play Yashiba’s second stringers…!! They’re completely different… Yes… yes they are, this is just a practice match after all …it’s only an adjustment… we’ll show our real abilities in the tournament… TC- Ah… Coach… TC- Uwa~aaa… What should we do…? TC- Nah… well… it’d be bad if we didn’t go TC- There’s no helping it, Maeda, you guys continue the match M- Ah… yes!!
05 YA- Ah, out they come… that baldy’s true colours YA- He’s really just a bratty kid isn’t he? YA- You got that right h/w- Hm? Y- ‘Get out there everyone’ means… here it comes, my debut battle …Crap, I’m super nervous… Can I really make the plays properly…? Well our opponents are third stringers… but they’re the third stringers of these giants… meaning they might be pretty good I was the only one stumbling when everyone got fired up about the nationals… I don’t wanna make an ass of myself in front of Koganei-chan… No, I’ll be fine I gotta believe in my training More than anything I can recognise my nervous self right now!! I’ll control my feelings!! I can do it!! Bring it on, demon who incurs nervousness…
06 Y- Bwaah!!!! K- Hey… what are you doing!? K- Well Yuuho seems nervous C- What!!? You brat!! h/w- Ahhh C- You weren't thinking you could actually be active before you've even finished learning the basics were you!!? Y- I wasn’t… C- You’re naïve!! You’re just a beginner! Run!! At any rate just run!! H- Haha… but I understand you know, of course you’d be nervous Y- Yeah!! Hanai-san!! H- Rather than growing as a person, it’s more important to understand what you’re suited for and not suited for and all… Y- Aha!! Ahaha!! …Aha!! J- What are you yelling about!? It all starts from here Yuuho!! J- Even if you can’t get out there don’t get shitty, just watch everyone’s plays carefully!! Watching is training as well!! Y- No that’s not… um everyone is… oh whatever!!
07 K- Besides, our opponents are small fry, if you can just play with a good feeling Mao’ll probably be like ‘You’re so cool Satou-kun’ right? K- She’ll say ‘Satou-kun you did your best’ Y- What? Y- I seriously have no idea what you’re talking about, what? Huh? G- Not ‘what’ it’s written all over your face Y- Hey, no way, Hahaha quit it Yaguchi-sa… Y- Yow!!!!! C- What’re you grinning about Yuuho!? Cheer everyone on you idiot!! h/w- Ah aaaaah Y- I wonder if it was because I was being picked on like this by everyone on the bench…
08 T- The people who haven’t been out yet are… oh, Satou!! T- Alright, come on, it’s your turn!! Y- Yes!! Y- I was able to head into my debut battle thinking about something else and feeling relaxed 09 C- Alright get going!! Y- Yessir!! K- Satou-kun calm down! T- Alright T- The court is the place where the match is taking place but at the same time T- its a canvas upon which you emblaze your soul T- Go past winning or losing and throw your whole self into it T- …something like that, how was it Nakanishi? C- Good sir S- Yashiba High player change!!
10 Y- ‘Soul’… I don’t know if I can play properly, but as for feelings I want to emblaze on this court... I have some Y- ‘Gratitude’ Y- This might be a weird way to say it but Y- I want to put in gratitude and stand on this court… or something? Y- Gratitude for the beginning of this destiny Y- Gratitude for the opportunity that was given to me Y- Gratitude for being taught about how fun basketball can be Y- Gratitude for the been made to feel ‘I seriously don’t want to lose’ for the first time since I was born Y- I want to make a good play for everyone’s sake
11 Y- If I say it like Josh Y- I want to repay everyone who made me strong’ or something Y- I wonder if I can’t show you how I’ve gotten a bit stronger
12 V- Hey Y- Uh… hey Y- Ah, the hooligan shogun…! This guy is my opponent huh… (T/N: Shogun were rulers in Japan for a long time up till the Bakumatsu) Y- I kinda feel… like the court is a lot wider than usual… V- I see… Y- Lessee… the defence is one on… V- Seems like Hachiko got a bit stronger huh V- Like that number nine… and that number eleven who seems like a half-blood or something, they’re super cool right, I wanna make friends with them Y- …what is this guy blabbing about in the middle of a match…
13 V- Geez… V- I thought I’d be popular if I made it to the nationals so I joined the basketball club y’know… h/w- Like that number nine V- My senpai are so lame V- Like Nakajima-san V- Taka got that serious during practice… he was training so hard… V- And these are the results? It really is useless if you have no talent right? V- And you know what!? He shoulda put me in as a starter V- I think I’ve got a pretty good sense, and I’m a beginner but I’ve more or less mastered dribbling and that V- All I need now is real match experience… hahahaha…
14 Y- It’s just practice and he’s become so fired up… K- You have a weapon!! Y- I’ve tried pretty hard but I’m just a sub… V- I thought I’d be sticking it with Nakajima-san right away you know… V- Ah, there’s no point if I’m just playing in some third stringer match… V- its no fun at all right? Y- Um… you’re… who’re you again? I dunno your name… but… Y- ‘Hooligan Shogun’ and ‘That number 35 guy’ are kinda… I’ll have to give you a tentative name for now… so your name can be tentative, yeah
15 Y- Satou-kun (tentative) Y- From Josh… from Atsumu… from everyone… from basketball, I’ll put everything I was given into this one moment
16 Y- Satou-kun (tentative)… Y- I will surpass you…!!!!
17 --
18 E- Yeeeeaaah!!! Yuuhoooo!!! Y- I still have a long way to go before I reach Josh-sensei, but Y- Ah… it’s nothing really… just a third stringer match… Y- At this point in time I just have one thing I wanna put my heart into, one thing to teach others Y- Basketball is fun h/w- Yeeeeeaaaaah
19 E- Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhh!!! T- Com-plete T- Vic-to-ry!! Yee-ah!! Sidebar- The ultimate moment!! Next time, Josh has an idea for Yashiba who’ve gotten stronger…!? And, this man who has appeared is!? https://mangahelpers.com/t/mr-prince/releases/12803[English] [Translation] Hoop Men 10 by Mr. Prince2009-05-31T23:57:14+00:00Mr. Princeadmin@mangahelpers.comLong time no see...or something like that. I finally found some time for this and it's my first translation since we got the new awesome changes in the translation system. After I read again and again about the wordy translator and how it sucks to be too precise, I tried approaching this chapter a bit more freely than I used to do before. I hope, this spices things up and improves the flow of my trans.
This chapter had some tricky passages but apart from that it's Yuuho's "awakening" and he has some nice lines in this chap. I'm looking forward to some ideas for improvement!! : )
---------------------------------
-page 1- They’re overwhelming!! And then…!!
Yashiba (89) – Tokiwa Central (45)
Igarashi (in picture right): Shit…!! With Yashiba as opponent… With Tameyoshi as opponent… What’s this mess!? Igarashi (in picture left): 5 more minutes to go… Now’s the time we would usually withdraw our starters and send the 2nd string out… Referee: Yashiba player substitutions!! Haraguchi: Al~right, Yuuho ひと足先に 行ってくるぜ! We’re one step ahead. We’ll get going! Yuuho: Yeah Show them our fighting spirit!!
-page 2- The Yashiba Basketball club That’s 11 people in total!! The 5 warriors that follow right after the starting members, go!!
Haraguchi: Let's go~!
Hoopmen Chapter 10 – Debut Kawaguchi Yukinori
-page 3- Igarashi: Ugh…!! <The second string…!!> Yashiba guys 1: Wow, this is so refreshing! To think that we can sub all our guys against an opponent like Toki Central. Yashiba guys 2: Usually they would be the ones to go with that routine. Yashiba guys 3: Yeah, yeah. And we would have trouble facing their 2nd string members that were sent out! Now that's humiliating. In picture: <hahahaha>
Igarashi (in picture): *quick glance* Igarashi: Kch!! Igarashi (in picture): *smile*…
-page 4- Igarashi 1: We’re also subbing the whole team Igarashi 2: Starting from 3rd string and lower, go out as you like Igarashi 3: ….And Igarashi 4: A team, B team you come outside with me for a minute 八柴の2軍なんぞとウチの1軍を戦わせられる...!! // 格が違うんだよ... // …そう…そうだ // これはあくまで練習試合 // …調整に過ぎん… 大会では実力を… Igarashi 5: Yashiba’s 2nd string and their likes battling with our 1st string…!! // That’s just so wrong… // …right…that’s it… // In the end this is just a practice match… // ...I overdid it with the modifications... // At the tournament we’ll show them our true power… Tokiwa #4: Ah…coach… Tokiwa player: Uwa~aah…what shall we do…? Tokiwa player: Well…um…we gotta go, that’s bad Tokiwa #12: Can’t be helped…hey Maeda, you toe the mark for the rest of the game Maeda: Ah…yes!!
-page 5- あー裏... 出てっちゃったよ あのハゲ ガキみてーな奴だなホントに Yaguchi: Ah, there he goes…off to the back, that baldy That guy’s really acting like a brat Hanai: Yeah, yeah Atsumu (in picture): Hm? sfx in panel 2: dozens of *thump* Yuuho in panel 3: He said “The whole team gets to play”...that means…ah, it’s finally here. It’s my debut in a match! // …no good…I’m getting tensed… // I get to play in a real match… // Ah well, the opponents just their 3rd string… But then again, it’s the 3rd string of a veteran team… …they must have quite some skill // みんなが全国とかってノッてる時に オレ1人 足引っ張ったりとかして... At a time where everybody wants to conquer the country, I might be getting in their way, dragging them down… And I really don’t want to perform poorly in front of Koganei-chan… // No, wait. It’s alright! Just believe in all the training you’ve done, Yuuho! 何より オレは今「キンチョーしている自分」を認識できているじゃんか!! Above anything, I have to recognize that this is my tensed self now!! I have to control my feelings!! I can do it!! // Alright, come out, demon of tension ruling...!!
-page 6- Yuuho: Achooo~!!!! Koganei: Wait a…what are you doing? Atsumu: Well, it’s because Yuuho was getting all tensed up Nakanishi: Say what!!? How cheeky!! Yuuho (in picture): Aahhh Nakanishi: You jerk, I hope, you don’t think you’ll set the world of fire or anything!! That’s just ridiculous!! You’re the noob among noobs!! Just run!! If anything, run!! Yuuho: No, I didn’t think that... Hanai: Haha…but I understand that, getting nervous and stuff Yuuho: Right!? Hanai-san understands me!! Hanai: Yeah, and it's important to know what we're capable of as we're developing……... [TN: Thanks to njt for his help on this one] Yuuho: Aha!! Ahahah!! …ahah!! Josh: What is he shouting for!? What’s going on, Yuuho!? You see, even if you don’t get to play, watch everybody’s play closely so it won’t be wasted time!! Watching can also be training!! Yuuho: No, that’s not it…I mean, the whole team gets to…ah well, it’s alright already…
-page 7- Atsumu: But then, if your opponent’s some small fry and you can show some kick-ass performance, Mao as well will think “Satou-kun’s so cool”, won’t she? Atsumu: She will say stuff like “Satou-kun really did his best, didn’t he” Yuuho: H-huh!? Oh you, really, I’ve got no clue what you’re talking…what’s that about? Hm? Yaguchi: What that is? You can tell clearly by watching you Yuuho: Wait a…leave it alrea…hahaha, stop that please, Yaguchi-sa… UHH~!!!! Nakanishi: What’s all this smirking for, Yuuho!! Support your team mates, you jerk!! .......こんな風にベンチで みんなにいじられていたからか... Box: And because I was tempered by the vibes of everybody on bench…
-page 8- Tameyoshi: So, who didn’t get to play yet…oh, it’s Satou, hm!? Alright, get up. It’s your turn!! Yuuho: Yes!! オレはデビュー戦を思いのほかリラックスした気持ちで迎える事ができた Box (continued from page before): …apart from thinking about my debut match, I was able to go out with a relaxed mood
-page 9- Nakanishi: Alright, get going!! Yuuho: Yes!! Koganei: Satou-kun, stay cool! Tameyoshi: Oh It’s like that court is a place of victory and defeat at the same time Like it’s a campus of burning memories in your heart Give it your everything when you’re crossing the bounds of winning and losing … how was that, Nakanishi? Nakanishi: Good Tameyoshi: Yashiba High, player change!!
-page 10- Box: “Your Heart”…. I don’t know if I can play a major role but it’s like…I want to give it my best shot… Box 2: As a sign of gratitude In picture: Even if it may sound strange I want to stand on court and show everyone my gratitude Panel with lil American boy: Thanks to the beginning of my fate Panel with Koganei: Thanks for the chance to establish something Panel with Josh: Thanks for teaching me the fun of basketball Panel with Atsumu: Thanks for making me feel for the first time since I was born “I really don’t want to lose” Last panel: For everyone’s sake, I want to play a good match!
-page 11- ジョシュっぼく言うと 「オレを強くしてくれたみんなに恩返しせねば」って感じ ちょっとは強くなったってトコ見せねーとなっていう It’s like Josh told me After I’ve become strong, I can repay everyone I’ve gotten a bit stronger and I want to prove it [TN: Seems like I DID understand it, yatta~!]
-page 12- Tokiwa jerk: Hey there Yuuho: Ah…hello Yuuho (thoughts): Ah, it’s General Jeer…! That guy’s my opponent… [TN: Jeer like in hooting, heckling] Yuuho (thoughts): The court feels somehow…a bit wider than usual… General Jeer: Hu~h… Yuuho (thoughts): Let’s see…defense is man-to-man… General Jeer: You guys have become quite strong General Jeer: That number 9 for example…and that half Japanese-looking number 11 is just so cool, isn’t he? I wanna become his friend Yuuho (thoughts): …tch…what’s that guy? Jabbering non-stop during the match…
-page 13- General Jeer 1: Ah~… 全国大会とか出たらモテっと思ってバスケ部入ったのになあ General Jeer 2:You entered the basketball club in order to conquer the nationals and stuff like that, didn’t you…? <That number 9 guy looks like that> General Jeer 3: My senpai are just so lame General Jeer 4: Nagashima-san and co. General Jeer 5: They became that serious about their club activities for that reason in first place…practiced till dropping… General Jeer 6: And this is the result!? It’s like they say, if you got no talent, it’s no use, right? General Jeer 7: You know, I would really like to become one of the starting members General Jeer 8: I think, I’ve got a pretty good sense. And even though I’m a beginner I’ve already become quite good at dribbling and stuff General Jeer 9: So all that I lack is just some battle experience hahahaha…
-page 14- Yuuho 1: He doesn’t have to get so worked up over club activities… Yuuho 2: I’ve got my weapons!! Yuuho 3: Even though I tried so hard I’m just a substitute… すぐに 永島さんと 張れるくれーになると思うんスけどねー... General Jeer 1: I think I will be able to compete with Nagashima-san in a twinkling… General Jeer 2: Oh well…it’s not like this match between 3rd strings has any meaning to it…it’s no fun at all, is it? Yuuho (in picture): Let’s see…you are…who again? I don’t know ya name…… Yuuho (in picture): But why do I keep calling you “General Jeer” and “That number 35 guy” and stuff like that…for today I will call you by your (assumed) name…therefore, your (assumed) name is…that’s good
-page 15- You’re Satou-kun! (name assumed) …What I received from Josh…Atsumu…all the others…and the whole club I got through basketball, I will put in this moment----
-page 16- Satou-kun (name assumed)... I will surpass you...!!!!!
-page 17- Empty
-page 18- Haraguchi: Woohoo~!!! Yuu~ho~~!! <sfx: pipi~ (final wistle)> Scoring board (of course): Yashiba – Tokiwa Central Box: I might not yet be a match for Josh-sensei Yuuho: Hey, you’re wrong…I doesn’t matter if this is a match between 3rd strings… Box 2: And I just scored one point at that moment but I learned what it means to be puffed with pride Yuuho: Basketball is fun! <sfx: Oohhh~>
-page 19- Yashiba: Yeeaa~h!!! Tameyoshi: Complete… Victory!! Fuuuuu~!!! [TN: Called it! This is the ultimate proof that Tameyoshi is an homage to Sumitani Masaki’s role “Hard Gay” that was really big in 2005. I simply love that shit and think it’s hilarious. Check it out if you like (and I know you want to)!]
The very best moment!! (side)https://mangahelpers.com/t/mr-prince/releases/12343[English] [Translation] Hoop Men 7 by Mr. Prince2009-05-16T02:30:06+00:00Mr. Princeadmin@mangahelpers.comWow, finally finished...as I promised carrotop I would work on chapter 7 before getting on to number 10 (and chapter 11 afterwards...darn, I've fallen behind) so that we might finally get an English SL out to the users. This chap has not been very difficult - as you might see, there's only little Japanese script - but it was (or at least felt like it was) rea~lly long. Another thing I wanted to get off my chest: LOL, I was right!! Tameyoshi is an homage to good old Hard Gay-san! (chapter 10 was the ultimate proof for me: "Kanzen Shōri, fuuuu!!")

-page 1- Box: The day of the practice match between Yashiba High and Tokiwa Central High
Yuuho: Yo, Icchan Ide: …Satou-kun, you came here dribbling? Yuuho: Yeah, yeah. It’s embarrassing so I was looking for a route with only little pedestrians walking along
One week later…the day of the match has finally come!! The tension’s up! Dribbling to the meeting!! (side)

The journey to the opponent’s school starts at the station! With high spirits…let’s go!! (side)
-page 3- Nakanishi 1: The matches against Toki Central… Nakanishi 2: Up til now the record of battles is 10 losses in 10 games!! Suffering crushing defeat every time!! – But this time Nakanishi 3: I think we’ve gained the war potential we need in order to do it!! Nakanishi 4: The time for our revenge has finally come!!! Yoshino: Um, keep it down for now!! We’re inside the train station!! I really understand your feelings!! But seriously, keep it down!! Please!! Nakanishi 1: Huh!? Nakanishi 2: Ohh!!! Nakanishi 3: I got it!!! Nakanishi 4: I got it!!! Koganei: <woah> Yuuho: The captain’s really pumped up somehow Yaguchi: Kukukuku…
-page 4- 弱小生活長いから Yaguchi 1: It’s because we’ve been living puny lives for a long time Yaguchi 2:If you think “We might defeat Toki Central” and stuff like that, you’re suddenly getting tense, right? …とか言って矢口さんも… Yuuho: …speaking of which, it’s Yaguchi-san as well… Box: Tokiwa Central High School
-page 5- Yashiba: Yo!!!! Tokiwa: YO~~~!!!! Yuuho: That many!!? Are they all from the basketball club!? ウチの3倍以上 全然いる感じだよな Haraguchi: They’re easily three times more than we are. It feels like we’re not really at present, doesn’t it? Nakanishi: Please treat us well, Igarashi-sensei Igarashi: Ahh yeah, let’s give our best, Nakanishi-kun. …further…
-page 6- Box: Tokiwa Central High’s Coach, Igarashi Kensei Igarashi: Ahh~ hahahaha… 毎回毎回 お越しいただいて申し訳ありません為吉先輩 Igarashi: I’m really sorry for having you come over each and every time, Tameyoshi-senpai Tameyoshi: That really is you, always coming up with whatever works reason why you can’t come and have to leave out. の前に おまえは あれだな なに上染めてんだ ん? オレの一コ下のくせに 若作りしやがって オイ Tameyoshi: You’ve been like this before, hm? What are you dying your hair for, hm? Even though you’re just one year below me you’re shamefully trying to make you look really young, hm? Igarashi 1: Kch…ahahahaha…no, it was that the female students all said things like “Sensei, dyed hair would really suit you” Igarashi 2: Doesn’t it suit me? <ahahahaha> Tameyoshi 1: It doesn’t suit you at all, it’s looks like crap Tameyoshi 2: On the other hand, black would suit you even less…don’t you think? <There’s nothing you can do> Yuuho: Ohh, those two are really at it Ide: As always…the guy he was destined to fight with in his college days… <But I don’t know every detail> は...まあ しかし わざわざ ご足労願うのも 今日が最後という事で... Igarashi: Ha…well, today might quite likely be the last time that I specially asked you to take the trouble of coming over and all… Tameyoshi: Huh?
-page 7- Igarashi 1: Well, we got our eyes on the nationals this year… Igarashi 2: Captain Ideguchi!! あいつが入部してから3年計画で作り上げてきたディフェンス重視のチームに Igarashi 3: Ever since that guy entered the basketball club he had a 3 year plan to build a team that’s specialized on defence 2年生 永島の 得点面でエースとなれる成長が加わって Igarashi 4: As well as second year’s Nagashima who might grow into an ace when it comes to scoring Igarashi 5: The balance of defence and offence has further increased
-page 8- Tameyoshi 1: What’s that? You say there’s no meaning to facing us anymore? Tameyoshi 2: We also got two good guys who entered the club, you know Igarashi 1: Ah no, I’m really sorry if I ruined your mood by saying that… Igarashi 2: I was just thinking we would both learn more by practicing with teams that are closer to our real ability… Igarashi 3: Well, let’s wrap it up by making our last match a good one, won’t we? <ahahaha> Tameyoshi: That’s right Girls <Woah> Igarashi 1: “two good guys”…now that he mentions it… Igarashi 2: That foreigner…he’s an exchange student…? Igarashi 3: Hmpf Igarashi 4: And the other…that really tall guy… Igarashi 5: Uhh!! Igarashi 6: What’s that guy? Ill-bred… Igarashi 7: Kch, indeed…if the leader’s trash, the students are trash as well!!
-page 9- Yoshino: Argh~!!! That old man’s as offending as always!! Nakanishi: Don’t mind him!! Let’s give them our answer during the match!! Let me hear you cheer!! Everyone: Ye~s!! Tameyoshi: I don’t really understand a thing about basketball But your eyes have changed lately. You’ve got strength in them, everybosy on the team
-page 10- 何にせよ勝負事にゃあ勝つに限る!! 負け続けてっと オレみたいになんぞ!! 燃えろ お前ら Tameyoshi: No matter what they say, in a match there’s nothing like winning!! If you keep on losing, you’ll end like me!! Get fired up, guys!! Everybody: Yes!!! Yuuho: You said he’s just skillful when it comes to talking and so on but…he has some strange appeal to him, that Tameyoshi… I don’t know how but he got everyone captivated… ま アイツの個人的な因縁は どーあれオレらも勝ちてーって気持ちは同じだしな Yoshino: Well, apart from that guys personal destiny, our feeling of wanting to win are the same, no matter what Haraguchi: And I respect Tameyoshi Nakanishi: Okay!!!
-page 11- Nakanishi: Starting members are me, Yaguchi and Hanai!! As well as Atsumu and Josh!! Alright!? Somee: Yes!! Others: Understood!! Yuuho: ……….starting members… Josh: Yuuho!! Convey this to everyone!! Yuuho 1: Ah, yes, what? Yuuho 2: It’s important how we enter this game! Yuuho 3: Offence as well as defence, let’s keep it cool at first Nakanishi: O~kay!!! やっぱ そーゆーの雄歩に言われんのって違和感あんなー Atsumu: It’s feels absolutely strange to hear that from Yuuho Yuuho: No, it’s just a translation!! Nakanishi 1: Alright, the game begins at half past nine!! Nakanishi 2: Therefore, guys who need to go to the toilet, do it now!! Yuuho: …This…it feels like we’re just talking as always…
-page 12- Yuuho 1: But everyone…looks different from usually...especially the starting members…what is that? Yuuho 2: Fighting while bearing the school’s sign on their backs, Yashiba’s strongest five… Yuuho 3: So cool… Yuuho 4: One day…I want to be here as well, but not as translator but as one of those five…!!
-page 13- Haraguchi: Ohhhh!! Atsumu: …!! Darn, you…scared me like hell…what’s wrong Haraguchi? Your dick inflamed? Haraguchi: Hell no!! I was just boosting my fighting spirits like the senpai who are somehow so different from usual today, uhh Um…that’s right!!! Yuuho!! It’s right, isn’t it!?...Isn’t it!?? Yuuho: Yupp, I got that!! Totally got it, Haragucchan!! It’s also my first time for a match like this and all!! I’m somehow fired up max!! Even though I know it’s not my turn, I’m somehow really nervous!! Atsumu: You don’t know about that When we’ve scored a great deal of points and lead by a large margin the bench players might get to play Yuuho: For real!? What shall we do!? Gucchan might become the key man of the match of destiny!! Haraguchi: Uh…he! Ehehehe…uehehe…hehehe…hehe Tokiwa player: Hmpf… fufufufu…
-page 14- <fufu> Tokiwa player: Ideguchi-sa~~n, somehow, it seems like we’re gonna lose by a large margin コレ 何をどーやって 負けんのか 聞いといた方がよくないスか? But what is this, we better listen how we’re gonna go down Ideguchi: Hmpf… Haraguchi: What’cha guys want? Yuuho: Oi!! Gucchan!! Tokiwa player: Ah, I’m sorry. Did I just hear you? …No, not really… No hard feelings!! It was really just a normal and pure question as to how Yashiba thinks of winning against us
-page 15- Tokiwa player: Be~cause this our Deguchi-san was chosen as a member of the city representatives team, isn’t that right? Right, Ideguchi-san!? Ideguchi: Hmpf…! Let’s go!! What’s this about destiny Don’t you trashes go on thinking we’re on the same level or something like that… Haraguchi: Tch… If the coach’s an idiot the players are idiots as well
-page 16- Referee: Yashiba High vs. Tokiwa Central, let’s begin!!!
-page 19- Someone: Hell yeaaaaa~h!!! Atsumuuu~~~!!!! Atsumu: I think we really aren’t on the same level [TN: I decided to put it that way. Has IMO a nicer flow than what it’s literally] Yuuho: Ohh A declaration of war!! Explode, Komuta Atsumu!! (in picture)https://mangahelpers.com/t/mr-prince/releases/11988[English] [Translation] Hoop Men 9 by Mr. Prince2009-05-04T17:05:20+00:00Mr. Princeadmin@mangahelpers.comSorry for the delay...as some might know I had loads of homework to do and therefore didn't find time for Hoopmen until this Sunday. On top of that this chapter had some really tricky passages which is the reason why it took another day - about 5 hours - for the actual thing (like in the previous week I only typed the Japanese in parts I'm not 100%-ly sure if I got them spot on - and you might see quite a fair amount of Japanese script... *lol*). On the other hand: Hoopmen's just so much fun, I'm really happy that I started manga translations with this series. For those who are not too familiar with WSJ and its hierarchy, expect this series to end in a couple of weeks, it tanked hard. But let's have fun these weeks, I for one will.^^
----------------------------------------
-page 1- It’s Satou Yuuho’s first game! Sitting on bench does he have wicked thoughts going through his mind? -----------Nope!! (side)
Yuuho: Hey…Gucchan… Haraguchi: Yeah!? Yuuho: The Tuscam figure (damage version) is on sale, right? Yuuho: And the continuation of "The Legend of Nilvendio" was released, right? Yuuho: And I got my hands on a Sugie Shingo live ticket. No matter what super hot item it is… Yuuho: The number one hot thing for me right now..…d’you know what it is? Haraguchi: What is it!?
-page 2- Hoopmen Chapter 9 – The top
Yuuho: That… Yuuho: we’re strong!!
開始3分足らず... 最高のゲームへの入り方ッ!! Not even 3 minutes since the beginning… It’s the start of a great game!! (in picture)
-page 3- ホントに毎回ボロまけしてたんすか? つーか 常盤中央って 本当につよいんすか? Yuuho: Did we really lose by miles every time? Or rather, is Tokiwa Central really that strong?
強いよー!! こんな展開になるなんてオレも驚いてるもん Fukuda (I guess): They really are!! I’m also quite surprised by how things turn out
へー...でも何かオレの目から見ても八柴(ウチ)のメンバーの方が 全員動きイイ感じするけどなー Yuuho: Wow…but somehow, how I see things, the whole team is in motion. It really is a good feeling, don’t you think so?
うーん やっぱり小牟田とジョシュのおかげだろうね Fukuda: Yeah, it’s all thanks to Komuta and Josh, isn’t it?
オレらも小牟田と一緒に他校と試合すんのって初めてだけど... スゴイ得点力だよ!!常盤中央(トキチュー)相手にさらっと点取ってるもんな こんだけガンガン点取れるとなると常盤中央(トキチュー)も小牟田にディフェンスを集中せざるをえない 鐘にDFが集中した分 他が空く Fukuda: This is our first match against another school with Komuta together but… that guy really has amazing scoring abilities!! Even an opponent like Toki Central is snuffed out by his continued scoring But not only that, apart from the scoring, Toki Central’s defense also has to concentrate on Komuta. And when the defense concentrates on Atsumu It opens up room for the others!
-page 4- ジョシュがそのスキを見逃さずパス!! 状況見て フリーの味方にパスさばいていくから相手にしたら守りにくいよ 小牟田とジョシュがいる事で みんな動きやすくなってる それに...佐藤の力もデカいと思うよ Fukuda(?): Josh has these infallible passes!! He observes the situation and picks a free player to whom he plays a pass which makes defending difficult for the opponent. Because we have Komuta and Josh participating has become much easier for everyone. Moreover…Satou’s power is important as well, I think.
Yuuho: Huh?
ジョシュがやってる司令塔のポジションは「ポイントガード」コート上の監督と言われるんだけど... 当然 コミュニケーション力意志の疎通が必要なんだよね 佐藤が練習中通訳してなかったらジョシュとみんなかみ合ってないよ Fukuda: Josh’s got the position of the control tower, the point guard. He’s in charge, supervising everything on court so to say but… Therefore a considerable amount of communicational power, the will to understand is also inevitable, you know? If it weren’t for Yuuho acting as the interpreter during training, Josh and the others would not have been able to work as a team.
Yuuho: Eh~~~~ For rea~~l?
-page 5- 最近じゃ 外国人の選手がいるチームもけっこう多いけど... そいつらがPGやってるってのは見た事ないもんなー Fukuda: There have been quite a lot teams lately that have players who are foreigners but… It looks like there hasn’t been one who plays as point guard
あの常盤中央(トキチュー)をこんなに押してるなんて...なんか オレ 涙出てきて... Someone: We’re really dominating that Toki Central so far…somehow, I have to cry…
バカヤロウまだ始まったばっかだろーが このままやらしてくれるワケねーだろ!! 気 抜くなよ!! Nakanishi: You idiot! It’s just begun It won’t be that easy forever!! Don’t fade!!
Someone: Ah…yes!! Yuuho: Ohh...
-page 6- オレも試合出てえって気持ちも もちろんあるけど ...何つったらいいんだろこの感じ...!! 「オレ こんなに強いチームの一員なんだぜ感」ってゆーか Yuuho: Of course, I also want to join the game and get the feeling but…it doesn’t matter, it’s feeling good…!! A feeling like "I’m a member of this strong team" or something like that
ま 今回は練習試合用で正規のユニフォームじゃないけど このゼッケンもスゲーカッコ良く思えてきた ふっふっふっ「最強チームの一員の証」 <着て 帰るーかな> Yuuho: Well, this time it’s not the regular uniform since it’s just a practice game But it’s obvious this jersey’s just super cool as well. Fufufufu "The proof of being a member of the strongest team" <I wanna go home wearing it~>
Igarashi: …Nagashima Do you know why things turned out like that? Nagashima: Yes. Igarashi: Then tell me.
-page 7- 僕が...あの9番を抑えきれてなくて... Nagashima: Because I…wasn’t able to stop that number 9…
そうだ 全て そこから崩れてるんだ お前からウチが崩れてるんだよ永島ーー!! Igarashi: That’s right. It’s all because you’re overpowered! We’re collapsing because of you, Nagashima!!
Nagashima: Yes
確かに9番はイイ選手だが 永島 お前こんなことでもたついていていいのか? ン? お前 今年こそ あいつらを倒すんだろ? Igarashi: Of course that number 9 is a good player But Nagashima, is being good for nothing okay in a situation like this? Hm? You really want to defeat those guys this year, don’t you?
東京都王者 創瑛学園を...!! The kings of Tokyo metropolitan area Souei Academy…!!
-page 8- Someone: Uwaaa~h!!
Tokiwa Central – 2:10 – Souei Acade(my) [cut off]
Nagashima: So strong…so that’s… Souei Academy…!!
-page 9- Akita: How’s it!? Natsuki-san!! That play just now, how’s it!?? How’s that dunk now!??
Box: Akita Gou Center – 199 cm – 101 kg
でめだなー ターンすっときのボールのプロテクトが甘ーな マイナス100Pだ あと100P減で逆のマユ毛もそるからな Natsuki: Absolutely no good! Your ball protection when you were slipping in that turn was way too loose. It’s minus 100 points! Another 100 points less and you have to shave that other eyebrow as well, hm?
Box: Natsuki Jun Small forward – 188 cm – 83 kg
Nagashima: Those two monsters combined… And on top of that…
三角筋さん 上腕筋さん 円回内筋さん 長掌筋さん... Shiroishi: My deltoid muscle Brachial muscle Pronator teres muscle Palmaris longus muscle… [TN: Yes, that guy is talking with his muscles and addresses them with "-san" but "Mr. deltoid muscle" and so on would just be too strange...he's a freak anyway.]
-page 10- 筋肉さん達... もっと高く跳ぶ力を... 速く駆ける力をーーー 私にくださいーーーー Shiroishi: All you, my muscles… Push my high leaping power even further… My quick dash power… Please, increase them!
Box: Shiroishi Haru Point guard – 183 cm – 75 kg
-page 11- 今は雲の上の存在でしかないけど...いつか... いつか必ず倒してやるーーー!! その想いでその一年 必死でやって力をつけてきたんだ!! Nagashima: Right now, they are without doubt beings above the clouds but…someday… Someday I’ll definitely turn the tables--!! This past year I have desperately been building up my powers with those thoughts!!
Nagashima: I won’t lose!!!
-page 12- だったら八柴ごときに手間どってるヒマはないぞ!! Igarashi: If that’s the case, you can’t lose time and effort on the likes of Yashiba!!
なんで今まで出て来なかったんスか ケガ...? Nagashima: Why haven’t you been appearing up until now? You had an injury…?
まあ お年頃なんでいろいろあったんすよ Atsumu: Well, at my age you got lots of different things going on Nagashima: Hmm.
-page 13- Yeah, well done, Nagashimaa~!!
ナイッシュウです 永島さん!! 八柴がチョーシこきだしてうざいんで本気出しちゃってください!! Annoying guy: Nice one, Nagashima-san!! It’s so annoying how Yashiba gets ahead of themselves, so please show them our true face!!
Haraguchi: Haa!? What’s this guy’s jeering ever since earlier!!?
ひどいな...監督も注意しなきゃでしょ アレは Fukuda: He’s terrible…the coach has to give that guy a warning
ーーまあ あの監督それどころじゃ なかったんだと思う Yuuho: ---Well I don’t think that’s what that coach is so worried about
-page 14- Nagashima: I won’t give up as well! Komuta: Ah, not good. You're the same as me.
常盤中央も監督の喝から出口と永島が実力を発揮しだしはしたものの ウチの方がチームとしていい感じにかみ合ってて Yuuho (box): For Tokiwa Central as well, ever since that coach’s scolding, Deguchi and Nagashima show their true strength But we on the contrary, have the great feeling of working together as a team
-page 15- 試合時間残り5分を迎える頃には先輩ら曰く「いつもの逆」ってくらい 点差がついていた Yuuho (box): When there were only 5 minutes of the match left, the difference in points was about the very opposite of what our senpai always told us.

Yuuho: Josh!! Nice pass!! It really is a magic pass, it totally casts my heart with a spell!! You reakky are amazing, Josh!!
Josh: That's wrong, Yuuho! I said it before, didn't I? Basketball isn't a thing you do alone! You train as a team, You think of the other's on the team, You fight as a team!
-page 16- 時には支え合い 時にはライバル心をぶつけ合いながら 互いに影響し合って 八柴高校はみんなでつよくなった そして これからもみんなで強くなってゆこんだ Josh: While you support each other at times, you also tussle with the spirit of your rivals sometimes. In the end we influence each other. Everybody has become stronger and so did our team. From this point onwards, let’s become even stronger together!
Haraguchi: What is it, Yuuho? What did Josh just say?
-page 17- Yuuho: Well, stuff like "Yashiba's the best!! With the vigour we earn from our revenge on Toki Central 日本一のチーム目指しましょう!!」 とか そーゆー感じです!! Let’s aim for number one team in Japan next!!" and stuff like that!!
...はっ しまった...!! 何か嬉しくてテンション上がりすぎてチョーシこいちゃった 日本一は言い過ぎか... Yuuho: …heh, oh shit…!! I was all happy and the tension has built up so I got a little ahead of myself Seems like number one in Japan was a little too much…
Nakanishi: ......haha.....Josh... Yoshino: Ohh... Number one in Japan...
-page 18- Nakanishi: Osshaa!! That’s right!! Let’s do it!! Just like Josh said!! やるからには 全国制覇(てっぺん)狙うっつー事で!!いい!? And after that we’ll aim for the top!! How’s that!?
Yuuho: It turned out all right
-page 19- Tameyoshi: OK!! OK!! Did you see that, you bastard Igarashi!! ...alright let's keep it up, once more!! More than that, let’s humilate them... Bench players, get up The whole team gets to play!
Yashiba team: ..................!! Ohhh!!!

Hoopmen 09
01 Y- Hey… Gucchan… G- Aye!! Y- Like when the Taskum damage version figure first went on sale Y- Or when the Nirvendio Monogatari next part came out Y- Or when I got my hands on tickets to Sugie Shingo’s live Y- All of them were intense but Y- The feeling inside me right now is the most intense… get it? G- What!? Story thus far – Exchange student Josh, his translator Satou Yuuho, Ace Komuta Atsumu, the three combined in the fired up Yashiba Basketball Club!! In the match with Tokiwa Chuou, Atsumu and Josh’s actions have surpassed coach Igarashi’s expectations!! Sidebar – Satou Yuuho’s first match! What he has suddenly realised on the bench are evil thoughts – nay!!
02 Chapter 09 – The Top Y- We’re… Y- Strong!! Tagline – It hasn’t even been three minutes since the match started… the way to enter the ultimate game!! h/w- Alright Kawaguchi Yukinori
03 Y- Did you really have terrible losses every time before? And are Tokichuu really that strong? B- They’re strong!! B- I’m shocked at how much we’ve grown too Y- Hmm… but from where I’m standing the movements of all of our players seem better B- Mmm, as I thought it’s all thanks to Komuta and Josh B- This is first time for us too, playing with Komuta against other schools, but… B- He has amazing scoring ability!! He’s taking goal after goal from the Tokichuu players B- Because we keep scoring like this Tokichuu focuses all their defence on Komuta B- When the defence is on Atsumu B- The others are open
04 B- Josh makes his pass that never misses! B- He looks at the situation and passes to a free comrade so it’s difficult for the opponents to defend B- Because Josh and Komuta are here it’s become easy for everyone to move around B- And I think Satou has great strength too Y- What? B- The playmaking position that Josh is doing is called ‘Point Guard’, and they have been called the on court coaches but… B- Of course the ability to communicate is essential B- If Satou wasn’t translating during practice Josh and the others would never have been able to play together Y- Eh~ seriously~? Sfx- ira (irritation)
05 B- Lately there have been a lot more teams with foreigners in them but… B- I’ve never seen them play Point Guard Y- Really? -Tokiwa Chuou Time Out!! -Alright! Nice, Nakanishi-san!! -To be pushing Tokichuu so hard… I feel like I could cry… C- Idiot! We’ve only just begun! C- There’s no way they’ll let us keep on like this!! Don’t let your guard down!! B- Ah… yessir!! Y- Ooh…
06 Y- Of course I want to be in the match too but… It feels good like this…!! Y- ‘The feeling that I’m part of a really strong team’ I guess you’d call it Y- Well, this is for a practice match so it’s not the regular uniform but Y- I think this singlet is really cool too Y- Hahaha, it’s proof I’m part of the strongest team h/w- I think I’ll wear it home -…Nakajima -Do you know why it has ended up like this? N- Yes -Say it
07 N- I… have not suppressed the number nine… - Yes, it was all downhill from there - We’re collapsing because of you Nakajima-! N- Yes -Number nine is certainly a good player -Nakajima is it okay to just be twiddling your thumbs at a time like this? Huh? -You were going to deafeat them this year weren’t you? -Tokyo City Champions -Souei Academy…!!
08 N-Waah!! N- Strong… this is… N- Souei Academy…!!
09 G- How was it!? Natsuki-san!! My play just now!!! My dunk!!! Box- Akita Gou Centre J- Hopeless, your ball protection when you were dunking was too soft, minus 100 points J- Only 100 more points and you have to shave the other eyebrow too Box- Natsuki Jun Small Forward N- Those two monsters combined… N- And… -Deltroid-san -Brachialis-san -Pronater Teris-san -Palmaris Longus-san…
10 -My dear muscles… -The power to jump higher… -And run faster… -Please give it to me Box- Shiroishi Haru Point Guard
11 N- Right now they are an existence above the clouds but… someday… N- Someday I’ll defiantly defeat them-!! N- With those feelings in this past year N- I have practiced and built up power as though possessed!! N- I won’t lose!!!
12 -If that’s the case then you don’t have any time to waste on guys like Yashiba!! -Yessir!!! C- Alright let’s go!!! -Yeah!!! N- Why haven’t you appeared until now? N- Were you injured…? K- Well, a guy my age has lots of things going on N- I see
13 -Alright, great Nakajima-!! -Nice shot Nakajima-san-!! -It’d be annoying if Yashiba got ahead of themselves to go all out!! -What!? What the hell is with this guy jeering since the beginning!!? -It’s cruel… the coach should give him a warning Y- - Well Y- I don’t think that’s what the coach is worried about right now
14 N- I’m not gonna hold back either K- Ah, crap you’re the same as me -Thanks to their coach’s pep talk Nakajima and Ideguchi have started displaying their true abilities, however -We work better together as a team
15 -When there was only 5 minutes of match time left, the difference in points was the opposite of what the senpai always told us -Tokiwa Chuou Time Out!! Y- Amazing!! Seriously amazing!! A complete defeat when they were aiming for the nationals!! Y- Josh!! Nice Pass!! Y- It really is a magic pass, it cast a spell on my heart too!! Y- You really are amazing Josh!! J- No Yuuho, I told you before right? J- Basketball isn’t something you can play alone J- We practiced as a team, thought as a team, fought as a team
16 J- While sometimes supporting each other and sometimes butting heads with rival hearts we influenced each other J- Everyone in Yashiba got stronger J- And we’ll continue getting stronger from now on -What’s up Yuuho did Josh say something?
17 Y- No, well, like ‘Yashiba is the greatest! With the motion we have from our revenge on Tokichuu Y- Let’s aim for number one team in Japan!!’ something like that!! Y- …Ah crap…!! Y- I was so excited and happy I got ahead of myself Y- Number one in Japan is saying too much… C- …Haha…Josh… -Yeah… -Number one in Japan…
18 C- Alright!! Yeah!! Let’s do it!! Just like Josh said!! C- We’re aiming for the top!! Got it!? Y- …Good result h/w- Yeah
19 -Okay!! Okay!! Did you see that Igarashi you bastard!? -…Alright that’s one for me!! - I’ll show you even more humiliation…!! Sidebar- Seize the complete victory with everyone!! -Get up, benchwarmers -Everyone get out there -Yeah!!!https://mangahelpers.com/t/mr-prince/releases/11618[English] [Translation] Hoop Men 8 by Mr. Prince2009-04-19T16:58:58+00:00Mr. Princeadmin@mangahelpers.comTime for my return! Yes, I’ll have to skip chap 7 for now since I had no time at all during the Easter holidays and last week my new semester started…I think chapter 7 might follow when Hoopmen’s finished or when I find time to do so. Anyway, I also decided to leave the Japanese script out in parts where I'm quite sure I got them right, since it’s just too damn time consuming. This chapter had some tricky passaged but I took my time, so it should be alright.
------------------------------------
– page 1 – Kawaguchi Yukinori Chapter 8 – That number 9 guy
ナメられたままでいられるほど人間できてない男・小牟田!! By taking him lightly you prove yourself as an incompetent person, that’s the man Komuta!! [TN: Quite freely translated but the phrase is not that easy IMO]
Josh: Nice Atumu!! [TN: No typo, remember: Josh can’t pronounce the name properly]
Atsumu: Huh? Ah! Yeah, nice!
Tokiwa bench: 1 - …amazing 2 – Did that number 9 just do a dunk!? 3 – Just now he jumped like super high, y’know でも 騒ぐと カッコわりーし 4 – But the fuss they’re kicking is so uncool. 5 – It feels like “A dunk? For real?! Woo~w…”
– page 3 – Tokiwa player: Huuuu~h, wait a minute…!! Didn’t that number 9 just now strike Ideguchi-san’s hand!? Isn’t that a foul!? No matter how you look at it, it’s a foul!!
Haraguchi: Huuu~h!? Where’s that supposed to be a foul!? He didn’t strike him at all! Fukuda: Don’t mind him…
Tokiwa player: How’s Yashiba planning to win against us?
Yuuho: Ah, that guy from just now…
Tokiwa bench: 1 - But that just now…it’s bad, isn’t it? 五十嵐 今日 「50点差つけて勝てなきゃ試合後ダッシュ20本」 つってたのに…いきなりダンク決められるって… 2 – Just when Igarashi was today like “If you don’t win with a 50 point spread you’re gonna do 20 dashes after match”…there’s a decisive dunk all of a sudden… 3 – That’s bad! Igarashi will lose his temper…
– page 4 – Igarashi: Hmpf… That number 9 That dunk just now…that was a first rate jump. 相当な身体能力を持っているようだな… He seems to have considerable physical abilities 今の1プレイだけでは何とも言えんが--- 一応 注意しておくか… I can’t say much after just that one play but--- for the time being we should be vigilant… しかし 出口め油断しやがって… But that damn Ideguchi being so imprudent… [TN: Coach uses –me suffix which I learned would be “contemptuous”. Therefore I chose to put in a “damn”] 「どんな格下の相手とやる時も全国レベルの選手を想定して挑め」と常に 言ってあるだろうが…!! I always told them “I doesn’t matter how much worse opponents you have, face them assuming they’d be players on national level”, didn’t I…!! Well, it’s alright.
– page 5 – Igarashi: So…Nagashima… go and crush that number 9! 成長して恐るべき選手になる前に 心を へし折るんだ Before he becomes a full grown terrifying player… Break his spirit!! 「自分にはどう足掻こうと勝てない相手がいる そんな奴のいるコートの上には もう二度と立ちたくない」と 9番(そいつ)がそう思うほどに 力の差を見せつけてやれ I doesn’t matter how much you struggle, there will always be opponents you can’t beat. On court where those guys are Make that guy think “I don’t want to stand here a second time” Go and show him the difference in abilities
– page 6 – Tokiwa player: …Nagashima has… Lost his interest in attacking…!?
Nagashima: Ku…!!
Tokiwa player: …..!! He did a shot that’s…impossible to score!!!
– page 7 – Number 5(guess it’s Yaguchi): Alrii~ght!! I got it!! Atsumu~!!!
Someone: Atsumu~!! Take another shot!! It’s a swift attack!! Someone: Ah…but as expected of Tokicent they switch over to defence rea~lly fast!!! [TN: Since I decided to call the school “Tokiwa Central” I had to adjust it in here. In the original they call it “tockichuu” instead of “Tokiwa Chuuou”]
当然だ…ウチのDFを前に八柴ごときが そう何本も 速攻を通せるわけがあるまい それにしても 永島の課題は立ち上がりの悪さだな… 「自分がエースである」というプレッシャーに打ち勝たねばダメだ…甘いんだよ 永島 お前はこれから 全国の強豪達と渡り合っていかなければならない器なんだからな…!! Igarashi: Well of course…for someone like Yashiba no matter how often you try swift attacks, it’s impossible for you facing our defence Nevertheless, regarding Nagashima looks like he’s getting even worse… If he can’t overcome the pressure of “Being an ace”…he’s too weak Nagashima, therefore, from this point onwards you’ll have to show that you got the ability to face the hard to beat opponents of national level…!!
– page 8-10 – Honestly, I love these pages as a translator.
– page 11 – Haraguchi: Yeeaa~h Atsumu!! Once again, this guy’s just awesome!! He broke through Tokiwa’s defence, one of the best in the whole metropolitan area, so easily!!
– page 12 – Igarashi: Easily? No, that’s wrong…!!!
Nagashima: His dribbling is terrific!! It’s so good!! And that speed doesn’t match his physique at all…!!
Tokiwa player: He’s not just fast That sudden change of directions after the high speed roll turn!!
Nagashima: He’s controlling his speed…!!! That’s something you can’t do unless you train your legs and loins appropriately!! And by including that quite small pass fake he detained Ideguchi-san and co…
Tokiwa player: After learning about our movements that bastard calmly started to make a drive course…!! In that one play just now several techniques were combined…!!
ただ身体能力が高いだけのガラの悪いチンピラじゃ ない!! 相当な修練によりその才能を磨き上げた Igarashi: He’s not just a worthless hoodlum who’s got high physical strength!! He polished that talent of his through a considerable amount of training…
– page 13 – Igarashi: Without doubt, he’s the real deal…!!! Why is a player like that at such a puny school like Yashiba…!!?
– page 14 – Girl: Ooo~i!! Atsumu-kuu~n!!!
Yuuho: …huh, aren’t those girls from Tokicent?
Atsumu: Oh what, so you came to watch me?
Girl: Ahahahaha we attended to cheer on you
Haraguchi: Why are they supporting Atsumu…?
Yoshino: Ah, now that you mention it, that guy was earlier talking to those girls at school gate about something…
Tokiwa bench: Woa~h, Ideguchi-san you have to fight!! Nagashimaaa~ kill them!!
Yuuho: Hmm~…but does that mean they could feel “Yashiba’s victory”…
– page 15 – Girl: But Atsumu-kun’s awesome!! How comes you can do that stuff!?
Koganei: That’s because he practiced until he could do it Atsumu’s been a baskettard ever since the old days… In basketball it’s advantageous to be tall Since I want to become the number one player in Japan, I’m the number one milk drinker in Japan!! [TN: I love this part sooo much. XD] Walking home from school on the tip of my toes gives a power up to my soleus muscles soleus muscle (in picture)
Atsumu: Just a bit more until evening…it’s because I want to…practice shooting…uff…Mao-chan you wait over there, ‘kay?
Koganei: Da~rn, it’s alright Atsumu!! Because there won’t come out any ghosts and the like!!
Atsumu: Alright, I’m looking forward to your support~
…こーゆうチャラけた姿からは想像できないけど Koganei: …but I never thought he’d become a figure who’s wrapped in cheap flattery
– page 16 – Igarashi: Hmpf… Ahahahahah, what a nice shot! Ahahahahahah…another nice shot! Aha… …I’ll recognize you, number 9…You’re a very skilled player…!! I’ve to say that scoring abilities of you are definitely on national level! …but…that’s about it. Fuwa!! Sakamoto!!
– page 17 – Komuta: Hey Josh!! Pass!!
八柴は9番という得点源を得ただけ さっきから9番(あいつ)の個人技で得点を重ねているだけ Igarashi: So far Yashiba has only scored with their number 9, just now they could only score due to that guy’s skills.
Josh: Atumu!
Igarashi: When we stop that guy, we’re stopping Yashiba as a whole…let’s go!! With a triple team…!!!
– page 19 – It’s not just Komuta! There’s also Josh!! Igarashi’s speechless!!
Nakanishi: Alriii~ght!! [TN: It’s just random “bashaaaa~” but I think a non-Japanese reader would understand it xD]https://mangahelpers.com/t/taiyouchan/releases/11594[English] [Translation] Hoop Men 8 by taiyouchan2009-04-19T03:27:33+00:00taiyouchanadmin@mangahelpers.comCXC Scans Use Only
Hoopmen 8
01 Chapter 8 Number Nine Sidebar- "He's not a decent enough man that he can stand being underestimated - Komuta Atsumu!" The story thus far – Exchange student Josh, translator Satou Yuuho and Ace Komuta Atsumu unite, the Yashiba High Basketball Club is fired up!! Their practice match with their fated opponents (along with their coaches) Tokiwa Chuou High is underway!! Komuta takes the preemptive!!
02 D- Alright Atsumu!!! Tagline- The Yashiba bench is raging! J- Nice, Atumu!! (T/N: purposely misspelt he pronounces it wrong) K- Ah? Yeah!! It was good huh TC- …Amazing TC- What’s with that number nine he dunked TC- That jump just now was amazing TC- But the ruckus they’re making is really lame TC- They should be more like ‘Dunk? Yeah so?’
03 B- Ah~ Hold up…!! That number nine slapped Ideguchi-san’s hand just now!! B- Isn’t that a foul!? It’s a foul no matter how you look at it!! D- Ah? How is that a foul he didn’t hit him at all E- Don’t worry about it h/w- How is Yashiba gonna win against us Y- Ah Y- He’s the guy from before… TC- But wasn’t that… bad just now? TC- Even though today Igarashi said ‘If you can’t win with 50 points difference then you have to do 20 dashes after the match’… a decisive dunk is… TC- Crap, has Igarashi snapped...?
04 Ig- Hmph… Ig- That number nine Ig- That dunk just now… Ig- That was a ‘good quality’ jump Ig- Seems like he has fitting physical ability Ig- I can’t say anything after just one play but – for the time being I should take precautions Ig- But honestly that Ideguchi, letting his guard down like that… Ig-I told you time and time again ‘No matter how much below you your opponent is assume they are at national level and challenge them’ didn’t I…!? Ig- Oh well
05 Ig- So… Now, Nakajima… Ig- Strike down that number nine Ig- Before he grows to become a formidable player… Ig- Crush his spirit Ig- No matter how much you struggle there will always be opponents you can’t beat Ig- Upon the court where those guys are Ig- Make that number nine guy think Ig- ‘I don’t ever want to stand there again’ Ig- Show him the difference in your strengths
06 Ig- …Nakajima has Ig- Lost the will to continue…!? N- Ku…!! N- …!! An impossible shot was… made!!!
07 F- Alright!! Gotcha!! F- Atsumu!!! YA- Atsumu-!! Take another shot!! Quick!! Ya- Ah… but as you’d expect of Tokichuu, their defence is quick to regroup!!! Ig- That’s a given… there’s no way someone like Yashiba can make quick consecutive goals before our defence Ig- However Nakajima’s issue is his inability to get rise to the occasion… Ig- If he can’t overcome the pressure of ‘You’re the ace’ then he’s no good… he’s too soft Ig- Because from here on in you’re gonna have to have the potential to deal with the giants at national level…!!
08 --
09 --
10 --
11 -Alright Atsumu!! I’ve changed my mind this guy’s awesome!! -He broke the Tokyo number one Tokiwa defence so easily!!
12 Ig- Easily? Ig- No…!!! -His dribble is horrifyingly good!! -And that speed that doesn’t match his physique at all…!! -He’s not just fast -That rapid turnaround from that high speed roll turn!! -He’s controlling his speed…!!! That’s something you can’t do unless you train your physique to suit it!! -And by throwing in a small pass fake he diverted Ideguchi-san’s bunch… -He took our movements into consideration and calmly forged a drive course…!! -There were numerous techniques packed into that play just now…!! Ig-He’s not just a trashy thug with some brute strength’ Ig-He’s polished that talent with the suitable training…
13 Ig- He’s actually the real thing…!!! Ig- Why is a player like this in a small fry school like Yashiba…!!?
14 G- Ooooi!! G- Atsumu-kun!!! Y- …Eh, aren’t those girls from Tokichuu? K- Oh what’s this, you came to watch me? G- Ahahahaha we came to cheer you on D- Why are they cheering for Atsumu…? E- Now you mention it he was talking to those girls at the school gate about something… TC- Come on Ideguchi-san fight!! TC- Nakajimaaaa get them!! TC- Hm… but they might be sensing Yashiba’s victory…
15 G- But Atsumu-kun you’re awesome!! How come you can do that stuff!? K- That’s because he practiced until he was able to do it K- Atsumu’s been a basketball nut since way back… K- In basketball you have an advantage if you are tall K- I’m gonna be the number one player in Japan so I’m gonna be the biggest milk-drinker in Japan!! K- By walking on my tip toes from school I can power up my soleus muscle H/w- soleus muscle K- Just a bit more, till it gets dark… I want to do… shooting practice… ugh… Mao-chan wait there okay K- Jeez it’s alright Atsumu!! Ghosts aren’t gonna come out!! K- Alright I’m counting on you for the cheering K- I never imagined he’d turn into a guy like this though h/w- hmph
16 Ig- Hmph… Ig- A ha ha ha ha that was a good shot Ig- A ha ha ha ha that was a good shot Ig- Aha… Ig- …I’ll acknowledge you Number Nine… you’re a suitable player…!! Ig- To think that scoring ability would be at national level Ig- …However… That’s all it is Ig- Fuwa!! Ig- Sakamoto!!
17 K- Hey Josh!! Pass!! Ig- Yashiba just gained a source of points called Number Nine, they’ve just been building up points from Number Nine’s individual skill alone J- Atumu Ig- If we stop him we stop Yashiba… go…!! Ig- Triple team…!!!
18 K- Josh nice pass!!!
19 Tagline- It’s not just Komuta! Josh is here too! Igarashi is speechless!! C- Aaaalright!!! https://mangahelpers.com/t/taiyouchan/releases/11315[English] [Translation] Hoop Men 7 by taiyouchan2009-04-12T00:43:00+00:00taiyouchanadmin@mangahelpers.comCXC Scans Use Only

I- In the team he created placing an emphasis on defence with a three year plan starting when he entered the school I- Along with the second year Nagashima’s scoring ability which has the potential to make him an ace I- The balance of their defence has increased
08 T- …what, you saying it’s pointless even if we try? T- We got two good guys too I- Oh, no, I am awfully sorry if I sounded negative it’s simply that… I- I think we would both learn more from practicing with teams a bit closer to our actual ability… I- Well, let’s make our last match a good one h/w- ahahaha… T- You got it h/w- Woah I- ‘Two good guys’ …now you mention it… I- That foreigner… an exchange student…?

This one was neither difficult, nor very long. I'm kinda sorry it took me so long again. But yeah, here it is. Everyone who likes this series as much as I do keep your fingers crossed that it will stick around for some time!! I hope so. : )
ちょっと早く目 覚めてさ あ 昨日言ってた「見せたいモノ」って何? Yuuho: I woke up a bit early Ah, what’s the thing you want me to show you mentioned yesterday?
ああ! そうそう! 見て! Josh: Aah! That’s right! Look!
バスケに自分に、真っ直ぐ向き合った雄歩に、ジュシュからのプレゼント!! A present from Josh for Yuuho who has started to face basketball straight on!! (side)

第6話 チームで一番 Chapter 6 – Number one in team
それ! Josh: That!
その使い古したノートに詰まっているのはジョシュの...。 That worn out and crammed notebook is Josh’s... (side)
-page 3- 何 このノートすげー年季 入ってんな... 「練習ノート」って書いてあるけど? Yuuho: What's that notebook? It’s got some time under its belt, hasn’t it… But it has “Training notebook” written on it?
うん オレがバスケ始めたころ練習しながら思ったこととか書きとめておいたものさ Josh: Yeah. The time I started basketball I noted down all things I thought of during training
へー...「ジョシュ 秘伝の書」だな!! Yuuho: Ehh…then it’s ”The book of Josh’s secrets”, isn’t it?!
...当たり前だけど 全部英語だな...オレ しゃべれるけど 読み書きは あんまり...でも がんばって読むよ これ なんで オレに? Yuuho: …though it’s to be expected, it’s all written in English, isn’t it…I can speak but not really read and write…but I’ll try my best reading it! Why do you give that to me?
昨日のユーホ何か練習のことで悩んでるように見えたからさ 役に立てばと思ってね Josh: It’s because you somehow looked really worried yesterday at training. I thought it might be useful
はは...ありがとう!! ても もう 悩んでねーよ1コ「気付いたこと」あるし Haha...thank you!! But I’m no longer worried. There’s a thing I realized.
よし! それよりドリブルだユーホ!! 昨日も言ったけどドリブルの技術が低いとコートの中じゃ何にもできないよ Josh: Alright! Let’s do some dribble from here onwards, Yuuho!! I said this yesterday as well but your dribbling skills are low, you can’t do anything at all on court!
-page 5- レイアップが入るようになったとはいってもパスを待ってるだけの 今のユーホじゃ プレイの幅がない ドリブルが上手くなれば相手のディフェンスをかわして自力で得点することだってできるようになるよ Josh: Even if you say your layup will be a safe score, for the current Yuuho who can only receive passes the play doesn’t have any width. If you get good at dribbling you can cross your opponent’s defense and score by yourself!
おお...!! よし やるぜジョシュ!! Yuuho: Ohh...!! Alright, let’s do it, Josh!!
OK 試合に向けてがんばろう!! Josh: Okay, let’s do our best in respect of the match!!
おう...う... Yea...huh?...
-page 6- no text
-page 7- そう簡単にシュートはうたせねーぞジョシュ!! Nakanishi: I won’t let you take that shoot so easily, Josh!!
-page 8 & 9- no text, just Komuta being awesome. :D
-page 10- すごい!! Guy1: Incredible!!
ジョシュと小牟田のコンビプレイ!! Guy 2: It’s s a combo play of Josh and Komuta!!
クッソッ...やられた...!! よっしゃもーいっちょ!! Nakanishi: Shit...they got us...!! Okay, one more time!!
おおっ!! Haraguchi: Ohh!!
みんなも すごい気合入ってる!! 手ごたえ 感じてるんだよ「このチームならいけるかも」って (sexy) Koganei: Everybody’s full of spirit!! They feel an effect like “We might do it with this team”
-page 11- おおー 走れ in picture: Alright Run!
...って みんなが試合に向けて盛り上がる中 オレ一人だけはしってで基礎練習 Yuuho: ...so everyone’s in the process getting exciting in respect of the match I’m the only one running and doing basics training - 昨日までなら Yuuho (in picture): If it was before yesterday...
と くさっていただろう Yuuho (in picture): I would have gotten depressed. - でも 今は違う... 何つーか ジョシュや鐘のおかげで... 「わかった」から気付いた Yuuho (panel with Josh and Komuta): But now’s different... It’s somehow thanks to Josh and Atsumu... That I became aware of it and thought “I get it”
ヘタクソのオレでも チームで一番になれるものがあるってコトに...!!! Yuuho: I’m hoplessly unskilled but There is a thing I can become the team’s number 1 in...!!!
みんな わかってっとは思うけど... 常盤中央高は 都内でもベスト16に入る強豪だ! 為吉(先生)のツテがなかったら オレらと練習試合組んでくれーるよーな 相手じゃない!! 悔しいけど 向こうの2軍にも勝てねーかもしんねーって感じだ!! でもな... Nakanishi: I think everybody understood this but... Tokiwa Central School is a champion who entered the Best 16 of our metropolitan area! If it weren’t for Tameyoshi(-sensei)’s connections we aren’t the kind of opponent they’d face in a practice match!! It’s a pity but I feel like we can’t even beat their 2nd stringers!! Nevertheless…
-page 12- ...逆に言えば 今度の試合で 常盤中央(そのやつら)といい試合ができれば オレらも上狙える チームだって事だ!! Nakanishi: ...on contrary speaking If we give them a good match in this time’s game, we’re a team that can aim higher!!
ジョシュと鐘が入って... Nakanishi: Josh and Atsumu entered...
キャプテン!! Yuuho: Captain!!
ん... Nakanishi: Hm...?
「いい試合 なんかじゃない!! 勝つんだ!! ここにいる全員の力が一つになれば必ず勝てる!!」 って ジョシュが Yuuho: "It’s not like we'll give them a good match!! We’ll win!! If the whole team puts its power together to become one, we’ll definitely win!!”, says Josh
-page 13- へっへっ ドリブルも まともに できねーくせに 何言ってんだよ Guy: Hehheh, what are you talking, you can’t even dribble properly yet!
イヤ コレ訳っスよ!! ジョシュが行ってるのを訳しただけで... Yuuho: No, that was a translation!! I just translated what Josh said...
つっても 雄歩にも 活躍してもらうさ 司令塔のジョシュと意思疎通 できねーと どーにもなんねーしな Nakanishi: But Yuuho’s showing great efforts as well. If it weren’t for him we couldn’t communicate with our control tower Josh, isn’t it?
練習の後 全員でガンガンミーティングやっていくから 通訳たのむぞ!! Nakanishi: After training the whole team’s going to have an intense meeting, therefore, please interpret for us!!
ウッス!! Yuuho: Yes!!
オレが一番になれるものーーー ーーー英会話力? 悩むのをやめたのは 通訳に徹するって 決めたから? Yuuho: The thing I can become number one in Is the power of English conversation? Did I stop worrying because I decided to devote myself to interpreting?
-page 14- そうじゃない Yuuho (in pic): No, that's not it!
-page 15- ダンクとか できねーし ドリブルでもパスでも シュートでも チームNo.1になるにはほど遠いと思う でも 気付いたんだ オレでも一番になれるモノ... Yuuho: Though I can’t dunk or anything Or even dribble, pass or shoot I think becoming the team’s number one is far away But I realised There is a thing I can become number one in…
-page 17- 一番練習した奴になってやる... I’ll become the number one guy of doing practice…
左に...切り返した... 抜かれる...っ!! A counter…to the left…he overtook me…!!
-page 18- ああっ!!! Yuuho: Ahh!!!
sfx: *boing*
あーーーっ!! 惜しい...!! Yuuho: A~~~~h!! So close…!!
雄歩... いつの間にあんな技を... Nakanishi: Yuuho… That technique…when did he…
うーん...昨日はもーちょっとで 抜けてたのに... 惜しい... でもオレ ぜってー上手くなってきてる!! 今に見てろ!! みんなの倍 練習して... Yuuho: O~kay…I missed it yesterday just by a tiny bit…so close… But I’ll definitely become good at it!! Just watch for now!! I’ll practice twice as much as everybody…
ぐっ!! 早え!! しかも 何か増えてる <朝練メンバー> クッ... 明日から 電車 一本早めねば... Yuuho: Guh!! So early!! Moreover they’ve kinda increased <The morning practice members> Tch... I’m going to take one train earlier starting tomorrow…
次号、試合です!! Next time: It’s the match!! (white)

Hoopmen 06
01 J- Ooh J- You’re earlier than usual today Yuuho!! Y- I woke up a bit early Y- Ah, what was that thing you wanted to show me yesterday? J- Ah! J- Oh yeah! Look! Sidebar- Josh has a present for the Yuuho who has turned himself completely to basketball!!
02 Chapter 06 Team Number One Sidebar- That dog-eared notebook stuffed full of information is Josh’s… J- This! The story thus far – Satou Yuuho joins the basketball club as the translator for the American exchange student Josh who can’t speak Japanese. His sworn enemy Komuta is actually a good guy, and Yuuho, having acknowledged the reality of his situation, has a fresh resolve to work hard at practice!!
03 Y- What’s with this note it’s really well-loved… Y- It has ‘Practice notes’ written on it? J- Yeah J- When I first started basketball while I was practicing I’d write down anything I thought of Y- Really, so it’s like your ‘Book of Trade Secrets’!! Y- …It’s as you’d expect but it’s all in English… I can speak but I can’t really read and write… but I’ll try my best to read it Y- Are you giving it to me? J- Because you looked like you were really worried at practice yesterday J- I thought it might be useful Y- Haha… thanks!! Y- But I’m not worried anymore, I realised something J- Realised something? Y- Don’t worry about it, alright now practice… Y- Hm?
04 Y- Huh… this photo… Y- Who is it? J- Ah… J- My… baskeball coach Y- Really… J- Alright! Forget about that, let’s dribble Yuuho!! J- I said this yesterday too but if your dribbling skills are low you can’t do anything on the court *ignore sidebar*
05 J- Even if you say use it to enter a layup, for the current Yuuho who can only receive passes the play has no range J- If your dribbling gets good you will become able to evade your opponents defence and score by yourself Y- Alright..!! Let’s do it Josh!! J- Okay let’s do our best for the match!! Y- Yea Y-… eah…
06 --
07 C- I won’t let you take that shot so easily Josh!!
08 --
09 --
10 ?- Wow!! ?- A combo play by Josh and Komuta!! Sfx- Ooooh C- Shit… They got us…!! C- Alright, once more!! ?- Yeah!! K- Everyone’s so fired up!! K- They can feel a response, ‘If it’s this team we might do it’ *ignore sidebar*
11 Y-…so everyone’s getting fired up for the match Y- I’m the only one running around doing basics practice Y- If it was before yesterday I would probably Y- Heh, well I suck anyway Y-and be depressed Y- But now it’s different… Y- Somehow thanks to Josh and Atsumu… Y- I suddenly got it Y- Even I who suck Y- Could become the number one in the team…!! C- I know everyone understands this but… C- Tokiwa Chuou High has the strength of being one of the top 16 teams in the city! C- If it weren’t for Tameyoshi (sensei)’s connections we aren’t the kind of team they’d have a practice match with!! C- It’s frustrating but we probably can’t even beat their second stringers!! C- But…
12 C- On the other hand C- If we can make this a good match with them it means we’re a team who can aim higher!! C- We’ll put Josh and Atsumu in… Y- Captain!! C- Hm… Y- ‘We won’t make a good match!! We’ll win!! Y- If everyone puts their power together we can win!!’ Y- Says Josh Sfx – Yeah-
13 ?- Hehe, what are you saying when you can’t even dribble properly Y- No that was a translation!! I just translated what Josh said… C- But Yuuho’s doing his part too, we couldn’t do anything if we couldn’t communicate with the control tower Josh C- After practice we’ll have a heated meeting so translate for us please!! Y- Yes sir!! Y- I could become number one – Y- With English conversation? Y- Did I stop worrying because I decided to put my whole heart into translating?
14 Y- That’s not it Sfx bubbles – ha
15 Y- I can’t dunk or anything Y- Or dribble or pass or shoot Y- I think becoming the team number one is a long way away Y- But I realised Y- I can become number one too… ?- …Ah… ?- Satou-kun is… dribbling…
16 Y- Number one in the team – Y- I’ll become the guy who has done the most practice…!!!! ?- A counter to… the left… he took it from me…!!
18 Y- Wah!! Sfx bubble- bang ?- Ah-!! ?- So close…!! C- Yuuho… C- When did he learn that technique… Y- Hm… If I wa able to grab it just a bit more yesterday… so close… Y- But I’ll defiantly become good at it!! Just watch!! Practice twice as much as everyone… J- Oh J- You’re late Yuuho!! Y- Guh!! Y- So early!! And they seem to have increased!! h/w- The morning practice members Y- Ku… Y- Tomorrow I’m taking an earlier train… Tagline- Next time, the match!! Box- Just one week till the match against Tokiwa Chuou!!https://mangahelpers.com/t/mr-prince/releases/10838[English] [Translation] Hoop Men 5 by Mr. Prince2009-03-28T17:26:40+00:00Mr. Princeadmin@mangahelpers.comThis one was sooo~ long, I felt like I was dying!! It took me about 2,5 hrs just to type the Japanese script. XD" And the text was quite difficult IMO...but I took some time double checking it so it shouldn't have many flaws. Oh yeah, I think this series should be renamed to "Hoopmen" since we see a shop in this chapter that is called the same - shop sign written in roman letters. Anyway, I really hope this series can last some time, since it's real fun!

第5話帰り道 Chapter 5 – The way home 川口幸範 Kawaguchi Yukinori
-page 2- 先生登場!!いいコト言ってる気もするが!? The teacher appears on screen!! Feels like he got some good things to say!?
若人はあきらめちゃあダメだ 常に前を向き…追いかけ続けるんだ 「未来の自分」の背中をな… …て どーよ!? よくねーかこのセリフ!! どう 中西!! よくねーか なあ? カアッアッアッアッ!!! Tameyoshi: For young people giving up is out of question Always striving ahead…in order to keep chasing The back of your “future self”… …so how’s that!? That phrase’s not bad, is it!? Nakanishi, how is it!? It’s not bad, hm? Kahahahaha!!!
あ ウッス! Captain/Nakanishi: Ah, yes!
ねえ イッちゃん 何か不審者紛れ込んでっぞ 誰アレ Yuuho: Hey, Icchan, that somehow suspicious person who’s just slipped in…who’s that?
ああ… Ide/Icchan: Ahh…
そう…走り続けることをあきらめたら… オレみたいに なっちゃう よ Tameyoshi: That’s right…continuing to run without giving up… And you’ll be just like me!
(バスケ部の)顧問の為吉先生 Ide: He’s the (basketball club’s) advising teacher, Tameyoshi
顧問? エ 顧問!!? Yuuho: Advising? Eh, an advisor!!?
-page 3- 顧問っていっても 為吉(アイツ) バスケ経験ないんだけどね Hanai: Even though he’s called advisor, that guy has absolutely no experience with basketball
え そーなんすか? じゃあ なんで顧問… Haraguchi: Eh, is that so? Well, then why’s he advisor…?
オレらが聞きてーよ Nakanishi: You just listen to us.
学生時代は空手やってたらしいっすよ Yoshino: It seems like he did Karate during his student days
ま バスケ経験のある先生もいないし 一応って感じだろうね Hanai: Well, I think it’s because we didn’t have a teacher with basketball experience…so it was for the time being, ne?
へーーー Everybody: Whaaa~t?
たまーに練習見に来てマネージャーに武勇伝語ったり… Hanai: Once in a while he comes to watch our training and recites his martial story to the manager...
そのとき 先生の左フックが…セイ!! Tameyoshi: That time Sensei’s left hook was like…BAM!!
へー すごーい Koganei: Wow, that’s ama~zing!
キャプテンにグチ聞かせたり… Hanai: Makes the captain listen to his nagging…
きけ 中西 オレは学年生任の 山??にいじめられている Tameyoshi: Listen, Nakanishi, I’m being mobbed by guidance teacher Yamahiro(can’t read the second kanji, but I think it's "hiro")
ウッス Nakanishi: Yes.
テキトーに 指示出したりして帰ってくんだよ Hanai: Gives some adequate instructions and then goes home
よし オッケー もう一回走ってみろ Tameyoshi: Yes! Okay, I wanna see you run one more time.
何かよさげな事言うし スゲー人かと思った なあ ユーホ Yuuho: He said some kinda good things, I thought he was an amazing guy. Haraguchi: You thought so, too, Yuuho?
口だけは達者なんだよ Yoshino: He’s just skillful when it comes to talking.
おぅし 集合!! Tameyoshi: Okay, assemble!!
しかし ホント久し振りに現れたな… 何しに 来たんだ? Nakanishi: However he really appeared after a long time, hm… What did he come here for?
おおつ!! Tameyoshi: Ohh!!
-page 4- お前がジョシュウか!!! オゥ~~ウ!!! ハゥドゥユ ドゥ~~!!!! カアッ!!アッ!! ほいで? こっち 小牟田な! スゲーな さっきの! ダンクとか いうやつだろ? オッケーオッケー イヤ~~ 風のウワサでさあ 「バスケ部にスゲーのが2人入った」って聞いて 見た来たんだが… 今度こそは 勝てそうだな…!! 常盤中央高との因縁の戦に…!! Tameyoshi: Oh, you’re Joshu, hm!!! Woa~h!!! How do you do~~~!!!! [TN: All written in Kana, so he seems to have a strong accent when speaking English] Kaha!! Aha!! And that’s Komuta, no!? That just now was amazing! The dunk thing or how it’s called O~kay, o~kay [unnecessary TN: His speech manner reminds me of Hard Gay, the comedian. O~kay, hoooo!!] Well, gossip sure spreads fast I heard “Two really amazing guys have joined the basketball club”, and so I came in order to watch… But this time we’ll win for sure, hm…!! The battle of destiny against Tokiwa central school…!!
え やるんすか? Nakanishi: Eh? We’re doing it?
おうよ!! Tameyoshi: That’s right!!
-page 5- ああ…常盤中央のカントクが為吉先生の大学時代の後輩でさあ… よく練習試合するんだよ Nakanishi: Ah yeah…the coach of Tokiwa Central was Tameyoshi-sensei’s kouhai [TN: junior] during his time at university… We often have practice games with them!
後から聞いた話だけど What comes now is just what I heard but…
為吉は学生時代常盤中央のカントクに彼女取られた事があるらしく… その練習試合のことを因縁の戦と呼んでいるらしい… Yuuho (in picture): It seems like during his university days, Tameyoshi’s girlfriend was stolen by Tokiwa Central’s coach… And it seems he calls those practice games “battle of destiny”
今回こそ常盤中央(あいつら)ブチのめすぞ!! Tameyoshi: This time we’ll make those guys fall for sure!!
…試合…!!おお オレのデビュー戦か…!! Yuuho: …a game…!! Yes, it’s my debut match…!!
常盤中央(あいつら)はウチらより大分上の強豪だからな… 今までは毎回ボロ負けだったけど… 確かに今回は… Yuuho: They are far more what you call a strong opponent than we are… Therefore, up till now every time’s been a bad loss, but… This time, we’ll definitely…
-page 6- つーことで頼むぜ 今回は!! あの常盤中央のクソッタレをギャフンと言わしてやろーぜ!! Tameyoshi: So, I rely on you this time!! Let’s beat those shitheads from Tokiwa Central hollow!!
試合かあ… 確かに鐘とジョシュがいればイイ試合できるかも… あ…スタメンとかってどーなるんスかキャプテン Someone: A match, huh… Since we have Komuta and Josh, this really might be a good game… Ah…who’re you gonna make starting members and such, Captain?
-page 7- ああ そりゃまあまず Nakanishi: Ahh…that is…well, first up
キャプテンの中西[オレ](3年) Me (3 rd year) as captain 副キャプテンの矢口(3年) Yaguchi (3rd year), the vice captain 2年で一番上手い花井 Hanai as most skilled player in the 2nd year
だろうな あとは…もちろん Nakanishi: That’s it. And then…are of course
司令塔 ジョシュ(1年) The control tower (1st year) エース 小牟田(1年) Ace player Komuta (1st year)
…て5人で決まりだろ …and with that it’s 5.
オレ入んなくねーか!!? クッ…これは俗に言う「補欠」……… …けっこーがんばったのに… Yuuho: I won’t be in it!!? Tch…that’s what you call a “substitute”……… …and I tried so hard…
ユーホ!! 今から居残りでドリブル練習しよう!! バスケは基本コートの上ではボールをついてなきゃなんないんだから!! あんなんじゃコート上で何もできないよ あれくらいできるようになんないと Josh: Yuuho!! Let’s make some over time dribble training from now on!! Because keeping the ball with you on court is the very basic of basketball!! If you can’t do that, you can’t do anything on court You must be able to do something like that
あれ? That?
-page 8- 何か さっき雨降ってなかった? Atsumu: Did it kinda start raining just before?
ぜんぜん Koganei: Not at all
-page 9- ボール 2個同時に…しかも しゃべりながら… Yuuho: 2 balls at the same time…and more over, while talking…
「ヒマさえあればボールに触ってる」くらいの気持ちでいればできるよーになるよ Josh: “Touch the ball whenever you’ve a free moment” if you think of it like that, you will be able to do it!
練習でイヤってほど走って 上がりきったテンションが練習が終わると同時に下がり始めーー 背中を伝う汗の冷たさを感じ始めたころーー オレの中にわきあがるモノ Yuuho: I will run until I don’t want to practice anymore The tension that had built up started to sink the same time practice ended… The moment I started to feel the cold of the sweat running down my back I felt something boiling up inside me
-page 10- 「オレが小牟田に勝つなんてありえねー」って想い Yuuho: I felt like “I have no chance in beating Komuta”
練習中は熱くなってるから Yuuho: Because I got fired up during training
待て!!負けねーぞ小牟田!! オレだって上手くなっていってんだよ!! Yuuho: Wait!! I won’t lose, Komuta!! Didn’t I say even I improved!!
って思える でも 今 冷静に Yuuho: ...was what I thought. But now When I’m cooled down
-page 11- コムタとか…… ジョシュのプレイを思い返すと…… あんな風になれるなんて到底思えねーし… Yuuho: When I think back of Komuta……. or Josh’s plays……. I feel like it’s not possible for me to become like that…
何 ポーっとしてんの ユーホ… どこ行くの!? ドリブルの練習を…… Josh: What? You’re spaced out, Yuuho… Where’re you going? The dribble training…
いーよ もう 今日は… Yuuho: It’s enough already For today…
あーあ…オレって 「敵いっこないのに小牟田に嫉妬してムキになってるだけの奴」じゃん…カッコワリイ… Yuuho: Oh man…I’m a…”I’m no match, so I become jealous of Komuta and get angered”-guy, no? …that’s the worst…
-page 12- ふーーーっ! Atsumu: Pheee~w!
お ッす Atsumu: Oh, hey.
ああ…ッす Yuuho: Ahh…hey.
あーーっ あっちっ ーーーあ つーか さっき大丈夫だった? Atsumu: Aahhh~~ It’s so ho~t!! ---ah! Hey, you were alright back then?
-page 13- バスケやった事なかったんでしょ 通訳係でバスケ部入ったって聞いてたからさー 「何コイツ そのわりに超ガッツあんじゃん 」とか思ってさー ビビったよ Atsumu: You never did basketball before, didn’t you? I heard you joined the basketball club as interpreter So I thought “What’s that guy? He really got some guts, no!?” I was surprised
い…いやあ<ははは> でも オレ所詮 補欠だし… 小牟田くんのがぜん… Yuuho: N…no <hahaha> But I’m just a substitute after all… Komuta-kun is way more…
…宿敵 小牟田鐘… 思ってたより ふつう Yuuho: …my arch-enemy Komuta Atsumu… Is more normal Than I though
-page 14- 鐘っ…て いつバスケ始めたの? Yuuho: Atsumu…when did you start basketball?
小3の時 つーか 雄歩帰る道そっち? じゃ オレ 今日そっち周りで帰るわ Atsumu: In third class of elementary Ah, is that Yuuho’s way home? Well, then I’ll make a little detour today
やっぱ そんだけガキの頃からやってないとダメなんだな… あっ うめえ Yuuho: Just as I thought, it’s impossible unless you start from the time you are a small child… Ahh, this is good!
な!うまいよね Atsumu: Isn’t it? It’s delicious, no?
…エ 何コレ バスケ専門店? Yuuho: …huh? What’s this basketball specialized shop?
雄歩 今 バッシュ3年の矢口さんが昔使ってたや 借りて やってんだろ? Atsumu: Yuuho, you’re currently using the old basketball shoes you borrowed from Yaguchi-san from the third year, don’t you?
高え!!! バッシュってこんなすんの!? …いいや オレ こんなイイシューズ使う価値のある選手になんてなれねーし…はは… Yuuho: Expensive!!! Basketball shoes are like this!? …Wah, but it’s like These kinds of great shoes would be wasted if they were used by a player like me…haha…
-page 15- いつ始めたとかカンケーねーよ高校から始めてプロになった選手とかいるし つか 逆にそれでガキの頃からやってる奴に勝ったら格好良(カッケー)じゃん Atsumu: It’s not a matter of when you start!! There are players who started in high school and became pros! But on the contrary, there are guy who started when they were kids but never won anything. That’s not so cool.
鐘はフツーにいい奴だ 勝手に敵視してた自分が情けなくなった フッ…くやしいが小金井ちゃんは任せたぜ 鐘… Yuuho: Atsumu is a normal good guy I became pitiful by just looking for him as a hostile on my own Tch…it’s mortifying but I’ll entrust Koganei-chan to you, Atsumu…
エ マジ!? ミス八高の豊田さんがジョシュに!? ッだよ オレ 狙ってたのにさー!! Eh, for real!? Miss Hachiko, Toyoda-san, is interested in Josh!? What’s this!? I was aiming for her, too!!
え… 彼女いないの? Yuuho: Huh…? You don’t have a girlfriend?
いねーよ Atsumu: Nope, don’t have one.
語り尽くせない程の葛藤があったけど わりとストレートに聞いてみた I was troubled since I didn’t want to exhaust that topic but I just tried asking him straightly.
小金井さんは? Yuuho: What about Koganei-san?
ハ? 何ソレ? Atsumu: Huh? What’s this?
イヤ 何か仲イイから…付き合ってんのかって Yuuho: No, it’s because your relation’s so good…are you going out?
-page 17- ああー まあ 幼なじみだしなー でも 付き合うとかは マジ ない 麻央(アイツ)だけはナイわ だってアイツちょっとアタマおかしーだろ 色々 口うるせーんだよ Atsumu: Ahh, well…she’s my childhood friend But I’m really not going out with her, I just couldn’t when it comes to her However she’s also a bit weird in the head Plus she’s just so~ noisy
とにかく 電車を降りた時心の中のモヤモヤが晴れているのを感じて Yuuho: Anyway The moment I got off the train, I felt the gloomy feelings had cleared up inside my heart
試合…おお オレのデビュー戦か Yuuho: …a game…!! Yes, it’s my debut match
ヒマさえあればボールに触ってるくらいの気持ちでいればできるよーになるよ Josh: Touch the ball whenever you’ve a free moment if you think of it like that, you will be able to do it!
高校から始めてプロになった選手とかいるし Atsumu: There are players who started in high school and became pros!
自伝を出す時があったら こう書こう Yuuho: I have an autobiography in the future, I wanna write:
ユーホに見てもらいたいものが あるんだ Josh: Yuuho, there is something I want to show you!
この日を境に オレはさらにバスケに のめりこむ事になった Yuuho: That was the day on which I would completely fall for basketball again

It was good wasn’t it? Wa ha ha ha!! N- Ah, yes sir! Y- Hey Icchan I feel like we’ve become caught up with someone suspicious… who is that? I- Yeah… S- Yes… if you give up running… S- You’ll become like me S- Right I- The Basketball Club Coach, Tameyoshi-sensei Y- Coach? Y- Eh, coach!!?
03 H- Even if you call him a coach it’s not like he has any basketball experience E- What really? Then why is he the coach… V- I wanna ask H- Well there weren’t any teachers with experience so it was for the time being or something J- It seems he did karate when he was a student 3- Really – H- Occasionally he comes to watch practice and tells the manager stories of his heroism H/w- At that time sensei’s left hook… bang!! H/w- Really – wow H- And he makes the captain listen to him complain H/w- Listen Nakanishi, I was bullied by the student advisor Yamaguchi (T/N: sorry, It’s not actually Yamaguchi but I can’t see the kanji it’s too small H/w- Yes sir H- He gives the appropriate instructions then goes home S- Alright let’s try running one more time E- He said something so good I thought he must be an amazing person H/w- Right Yuuho J- He’s all talk S- Alright gather round!! H/w- Yes sir! J- But it really has been a long time since he last appeared… J- Why did he come? S- Oh!!
04 S- So you’re Joshua!!! Oh!!! How do you do~!!! (T/N: he says the last bit in English with a bad accent) S- Wah!! Ha!! S- What’s this? If it isn’t Komuta! S- That was amazing just now!

S- In the destined battle against Tokiwa Chuou High..!! J- Eh J- We’re going to do it? S- Yeah!!
05 C- Yeah… The coach at Tokiwa Chuou High was Tameyoshi-sensei’s junior in university… C- We often have practice matches with them Box- Everything after is just what I heard but Y- It seems when Tameyoshi was a student he had his girlfriend stolen by the Tokiwa Chuou coach… Y- It seems he calls those practice matches battles of destiny… S- This time we’ll take em down!! H/w- Yeah Y- …a match…!! Yeah, my debut battle…!!! Y- It seems their team is considerably stronger than ours… Y- Up to now it’s been an embarrassingly bad loss every time but… Y- I’m sure this time we’ll…
06 S- So anyway I’m counting on you guys this time!! S- Let’s beat those bastards at Tokiwa Chuou so badly they can’t even speak!! T- A match huh… T- It’s true we have Josh and Komuta so it might be a good match… R- Yeah… R- Who are you gonna use as starters captain?
07 C- Yeah well first -Me, the Captain (3rd Year) -Yaguchi, the Vice Captain (3rd Year) -The most skilled second year, Hanai C- Right C- Then… of course Command tower Josh (1st Year) Ace Komuta (1st Year) C- …and that’s five Y- I, won’t be in!? Y- Ku… With this I’ll be what is commonly called a ‘benchwarmer’ Y- …Even though I tried so hard… J- Yuuho!! J- Let’s do dribbling practice with everyone who’s still here!! J- The foundations of basketball are built on keeping the ball with you on the court!! J- Without that you can’t do anything on the court J- You must become able to do ‘that’ Y- ‘That’?
08 A- Did it just rain then? K- Not at all
09 Y- Two balls at the same time… and while talking too… J- You can do it if you think ‘Whenever you have a free moment be touching the ball’ Y- I run until I don’t want to practice anymore Y- The tension I had built up immediately dropped when practice was over Y- When I first felt the cold sweat dripping down my back – Y- Something boiled up inside me
10 Y- A feeling that I could never defeat Komuta Y- Because I get fired up during practice Y- Wait!! I won’t lose Komuta!! Y- Didn’t I say I was going to improve!? Y- So I think Y- But now Y- When I’m calm
11 Y- When I remember Komuta… Y- And Josh’s plays… Y- I can’t think of any way that I can become like that… J- Why’re you spacing out Yuuho… J- Where are you going!? The dribble practice… Y- …I’ve had enough Y- For today… Y- …Jeez, I… Even though I’m not suitable I just get jealous of Komuta and become pissed… I’m so lame
12 K- Phew – K- Oh K- Hey Y- Yeah… hey K- Ah – it’s so hot K- -Ah K- Hey were you okay back there H/w- you got bumped right
13 K- You’d never done basketball before had you K- I heard you joined the basketball club as a translator K- I was thinking ‘What the hell is this guy he’s sure got guts’ K- I was scared Y- N…No H/w- hahaha Y- I’m just a benchwarmer after all Y- Komuta-kun is much more… K- Hey hey hey who’s Komuta K- I’m Atsumu H/w- Nice to meet ya Y- …My old enemy Komuta Atsumu… Y- Is much more Y- Normal that I thought
14 Y- Atsumu… when did you start basketball? K- Third grade K- Hey Yuuho is that the way you go home? K- Then I’ll go around that way today Y- I knew it it’s hopeless unless you start when you’re young… Y- Ah, yum K- Right! It’s good isn’t it? Y- …Eh, what’s this a basketball specialty store? K- Yuuho you’re using the shoes you borrowed from Yaguchi-san that he used to use as basketball shoes at the moment aren’t you? Y- Expensive! Y- Basketball shoes were this kind of thing!? …I’ll be right Y- These great shoes would be wasted on a worthless player like me… haha…
15 K- When you started basketball has nothing to do with it, there are pro players who started in high school K- On the other hand there’s people who’ve played since they were kids and never won Y- Atsumu’s a normal, good guy Y- I became pathetic but making him an enemy by myself Y- Hmph… this is painful but I’ll leave Koganei-chan up to you, Atsumu… K- Eh seriously!? Toyoda-san, Miss Hachi High likes Josh!? K- What is this even though I had my eye on her-!!
16 K- Ah crap, I want a girlfriend Y- Eh… Y- Don’t you have a girlfriend? K- Nope Y- I was conflicted and had never endeavoured to ask him but Y- I tried asking him straight Y- How about Koganei-san? K- Huh? What’s with that? Y- Well because you guys get along so well… are you going out?
17 K- Ah well she’s my childhood friend K- But there’s no way we’d be going out, I just couldn’t with her K- But she’s a bit weird in the head K- And she’s really noisy Y- At any rate Y- When I got off the train I felt the gloominess in my heart had lifted Y- a match… Yeah, my debut battle… J- You can do it if you think ‘Whenever you have a free moment be touching the ball K- There are pro players who started in high school Y- I suddenly thought
18 Y- I wanna practice Y- Hm… H/w- my phone
19 P- Josh Y- If in the future Y- I have an autobiography I want it to say this J- I have something I want to show you Yuuho Y- This day was the day I devoted myself to basketball Tagline- Knowing the reality… Having friends… The real start is from here!!https://mangahelpers.com/t/mr-prince/releases/10632[English] [Translation] Hoop Men 4 by Mr. Prince2009-03-21T02:23:25+00:00Mr. Princeadmin@mangahelpers.comThings turned out quite different than I thought...I was all week busy planning April fool's for two homepages I'm working on and therefore didn't have much time for the translation. But now I'm done with it and it wasn't that difficult! I have quite some confidence in this one. : )
-page 1- …?...勝負? Atsumu: …? …A match?
あ...いや おれも よくわかんねんだけど--!! "通訳くんは スゲー才能 秘めてっからいつか小牟田...くんを追い抜くかもよ"って マジで何言ってんだよジョシュ Yuuho: Ah…no, I also don’t really understand but… “Interpreter-kun has some really amazing talent hidden so therefore maybe he’ll surpass Komuta-kun some..day”, he said. Really, Josh, what are you talking!
なにはな Josh: What’s it? (small, other stuff is cut off and doesn’t make sense)
やれる...!!武器はある...!!新人用特別練習[メニュー]で毎日やってるドリブルで ジョシュがいつもやってる感じでコムタ ブチ抜いて 必殺のレイアップだ...!! Yuuho: I can do it…!! I got my weapon…!! With the dribble I did everyday in my freshman special training menu I will get past Komuta’s position like Josh also always did! And then the killer move, the layup…!!
俺の理想のため...挑む!! I challenge you…for the sake of my dream!! (side) [TN: Kanji are “ideal” but shall be read “yume” which is “dream” in Japanese]
-page 4- first bubble on page: Uff!!!! [TN: Dunno how to write such kana xD] 痛っ... smaller: Ouch…
しまった... Yuuho: Damn…
何やってんだよ大丈夫!? ドリブルもっと練習しなきゃ!! Josh: What are you doing? You alright!? We still have to practice dribbling more!!
大丈夫? Atsumu: You’re alright?
大丈夫!! クツ...うっせージョシュ...今のは ちょっとしたミスなんだよ!! クッソ これ まだ勝負[バトル] 始まったねーし"負け"にカウントされねーかんな Yuuho: I’m alright!! Shit…shuddup Josh…That just now was a little mistake, that’s all!! Shit, it’s like this battle hasn’t even started yet, so it doesn’t count as “loss”
てか そいつジョシュっていうの?バスケ部なんだよな? Atsumu: Hey, can you say the following words to Josh? “What’s the deal about the basket ball club?”
あ ウン まあ オレもバスケ部なんだけど!! 佐藤雄歩 ヨロシク!! ま ジョシュの通訳として入部したけどガンガン力つけ Yuuho: Ah, yeah. Well, I’m also in the basketball club!! I’m Satou Yuuho, nice to meet you!! Well, I entered the club in order to act as Josh’s interpreter but I’ve gained strength really fast!
へーーー Atsumu: I see...
-page5- オレ 鐘 はは...よろしくなジョシュ Atsumu: I’m Atsumu Haha…nice to meet ya, Josh!
よろしくアトゥム Josh: Nice to meet you, Atumu [TN: No spelling error here! He can't pronounce the name properly]
オレも今日から練習出っから! 後でな! Atsumu: I’m also attending training starting today, therefore: see you later!
-page 7- 鐘ゥ!! 戻ったか!! もう ケガは大丈夫なのかよ!? Captain: Atsumuu!! You’re back!? Is your injury alright already!?
完治っス Atsumu: Completely recovered.
.........ケガ? そういえば... 詳しくは知らねーけどケンカで謹慎したって言ってたよな...でも そのわりに... 何かフツーに歓迎ムードだし... ...何があったんだ? Yuuho: …an injury? Now that he mentions it… I don’t know the whole background but they said disciplinary punishment for fighting…but it’s a somehow…unexpectedly normal mood of welcome back…what’s this all about?
チュー...オウ Josh: Yo-…oh!
へーーーイ ジョシュー!! Atsumu: Heee~y Josh!!
おおっアトゥム!! Josh: Ohh, Atumu!!
エ 何? 2人 もう 知り合い? しかも何か ですに 意気投合してるし!!鐘 英語とか わっかんないでしょ Koganei: Eh, what? You two already know each other? Moreover they seem to share the same spirit!! Atsumu, you don’t speak English or anything, do you?
ま ♥[コレ]なんで ♥[コレ]と✪[コレ]があれば言葉とか いらねーし Atsumu: Well, by the means of this (♥), if we have this (♥) and that (basketball), we don’t need words or anything!
いやー やっぱエース同士通じるモンがあんのかなー!! Captain: Well~ just as I thought, aces have a way of understanding each other!!
-page 8- てか もう通訳とかいらなくねー? Koganei: So there’s no need anymore for an interpreter and such?
はじめっからいねーよそんあ奴 Somebody: We didn’t need that guy from the beginning!
今度 "通訳"って単語使った奴パンチな Somebody: This time…let’s punch any guy who uses the word “interpretation“!
あたしの♥[コレ]鐘の♥[コレ]が♥[アレ]だから♥[アレ]が♥[コレ]って事で Koganei: My ♥ and Atsumu’s ♥ are in ♥, because of that ♥ is ♥.
オオ!! 奇跡だ!!何故か急に日本語ペラペラに Josh: Ohh!! It’s a miracle!! I can speak Japanese fluently for some reson!!
被害妄想 Box: Persecution complex
辞めろなこりゃ Guy1: He should give up on it!
-page 9- あいつの いつものパターンじゃん 女目当てで何か初めて フラれてつまんなくなったっつって辞めるっていうさ Guy1: That guy…it’s the same pattern as always, isn’t it? In order to get a girl, he starts something. He gets dumped, is getting bored and retires from doing it.
見た? さっきあのデカいイケメン君と麻央ちゃん アレ絶対そうでしょ いやー コレ 雄歩じゃ 勝ち目ねーよ!! Somebody (I think it’s still „guy 1“ xD): Did you see just now? That tall good looking guy and Mao-chan?! They look like a perfect couple. No, Yuuho has no chance winning in this one!!
-page 10- 雄歩 何見てんの 映画? Guy 2: Yuuho, what are you watching? A movie?
ちげーよ 研究 先輩に借りた バスケの本にDVDついててさ Yuuho: Nope, it’s research. There was a DVD in the book I borrowed from senpai.
ああ 今 練習してるって言ってたシュートな カッコイイね Guy 2: Ah, it’s the shoot you said you were practicing currently. It really is cool!
なー!! まあ もう 70%くらいの確率で入るかなー へっへっへっ Yuuho: Yeah!! Well, I already have a chance of about 70% of scoring Hehhehehhe (small)
へー Guy 2: Wow!
はー レイアップとか超基本じゃん 俺は知っている Guy 1: Huh, the layup is the basic of the basic isn’t it? I know that. (small)
あんなの 勘のいい奴だったら体育の授業中にできるよーになんじゃん そんなんで調子乗んな アホ Guy 1: If you were a guy with good intuition you would have learnt it in PE, wouldn’t you? Don’t get ahead of yourself, idiot.
反復練習して 成功率上げねーと試合じゃ使えねーんだよこれだからシロートは… Yuuho: If you don’t practice it over and over again your success rate won’t rise and you can’t use it in a match, that’s how it is, you amateur…
おめーもシロートだろ!! ちょっと朝練したくれーで できる気になんな!! Guy 1: You’re also an amateur!! You’ve not become great just because you did a little morning practice!! バカが オレ もうコツつかんだんだよ!!「高く跳ぶこと」をイメージするんだよ!! ゴールに手が届くイメージで Yuuho: You’re an idiot, I already mastered the tricks behind it!! “Jumping high”, I can already imagine it!! Reaching the goal with my hands, all in my imagination
つか イイよ もう バスケの話は!! 最近そればっかじゃねーか!! Guy 1: Whatever just let it be already, this basketball talk!! It’s been all about it lately hasn’t it!?
あー...ダンクなー いつも思うけど反則じゃねーのコレって Guy 1: Ah…the dunk, hm But I always thought it’s against the rules but it isn’t
でも まあ こーゆーのができるよーになってからエラソーな事 言えよな Guy 1: But well, after you learnt how to do this, you can talk about how great you are!
クツ...っとシロートだなおめーは ゴールの高さって3m5cmあんだぞ!! 身長の2倍近くあんの!! 単純に考えて それよか上に 手が届かなきゃダンクできねーんだよ!! Yuuho: Tch…you really are an amateur The height of the goal is 3m5cm!! It’s about twice my body height!! Simply think about it like this: if you can’t put your hand higher than this, you can’t do a dunk!!
日本の高校生で ダンクできる奴とか あんま いねーんだよ!! Yuuho: There are barely any guys who can do a dunk among high school students in Japan!!
あ ゴメン 何か 眠い 俺 Guy 1: Ah, sorry. I’m kinda drowsy.
聞け オイ Yuuho: Hey, listen!!
てか 今のスゲー!! 巻も戻して!! もっかい見たい!! 雄歩!! Guy 2: But that just now was amazing!! Wind it back!! I wanna see it one more time!! Yuuho!!
-page 14- no text
-page 15- おおおお... Guy 1: Oohhh…
-page 16- いってっ...!! Atsumu: Ouch…!!
バカ 危ねーよな!! 何 体当りしてんだ 雄歩!! モロ反則たし!! シュートの着地際が一番ケガしやすいんだぞ Captain: Idiot, watch out!! What are you hitting the body, Yuuho!? That’s a foul play!! The moment you land after shooting is the easiest point to get injured!
あ...スイマセン...勢いで... Yuuho: Ah…I’m sorry…I was fired up…
すっげ...ダンクした... Guy 3: Awesome…he did a dunk…
てか あの雄歩[アホ]は何してんだよ何か怒られたぞははは... Guy 1: But what was that idiot doing anyway, being angered or something hahaha…
-page 17- 大丈夫? Atsumu: You’re alright?
...ああ...ゴメン... Yuuho: …ah…I’m sorry…
いや... Atsumu: It’s nothing…
雄歩[コイツ]... あんだけモロにブロックされた後で 気持ち折れずにオレを止めようと追っかけてきたのか... That guy…to that degree, after I completely blocked him Without hesitating, he ran after me in order to stop me...
...あの ヘタレの雄歩が... Guy 2: That always lazy Yuuho…
あきらめの悪い奴... Atsumu: A guy who doesn’t accept his fate…
-page 18- ...はは... 今回は...バスケは結構続くかもな Guy 2: …haha… This time…he might continue basketball for quite some time
ハ? なんで? Some guy: Huh? Why?
何となく Guy 2: Dunno, just my feeling…
小牟田くんを追い抜くかもよって... Yuuho: He might surpass Komuta-kun…
ジョシュの言う通り伸びっかもな アイツ (オレを抜く、つ、のは ナイけで) Atsumu: That guy really might grow, just like you said, Josh. (But, heh, he won’t surpass me though)
...? あ ああ 確かに!! さっき ユーホはバスを出すべきだった!! Josh: …? Ah, aha, definitely!! Yuuho should have passed that time!
ダンク? 知るか!! それが できっから ナニ? さっきのは不注意だ!! "負け"にカウントされねーから!! つか!! てゆーか オレ もう 負けません!! マジで!! オレはアイツと戦うために生まれてきた... Yuuho: A dunk? Who cares!! So what if he can do it!? I was just careless back there!! Therefore it doesn’t count as a “loss”!! That’s right!! I didn’t lose yet!! That’s true!! I was born to fight this guy…
いや~~あ イイ走りだったよ 君... Tameyoshi: Wow~~, you really ran well…
-page 19- そうだ 若人は走り あきらめず走りつづけるんだ 未来の自分を追いかけて な Tameyoshi: That’s how it is, young people run. They continue to run without giving up And chase after their future self
うおっ!!! 為吉!! Captain: Woah!!! Tameyoshi!!

ジョシュに付き合って「朝練」始めたんだけど ジョシュの教え方はスゲーわかりやすくて上手くなってきてんだよ Box: I started to accompany Josh with training before school/morning training. And because I completely understood his teaching methods the delicate me became better.

あ そーだ Somebody: Ah, that’s right. ホラ コレ この前 行ってたバスケの教則本 用語とか解説してあって通訳の参考になると思うから Here, I told you before, it’s a basketball manual. It has the terminology and such things explained. I thought it might be handy for interpreting. あ!! あざーっす!! Yuuho: Ah! That’s good!!

25-26 S- It seems basketball is a sport played five on five C- Ah this is great!! with Satou we make a perfect ten!! C- We can play the first five on five game in ages H/w – yeah! S- And so I entered a match without even knowing the rules S- No it’s impossible!! I’ve never actually played… C- It’s okay, it doesn’t matter as long as we make the numbers!! C- We’re not expecting anything!! S- If you say it so wholeheartedly like that… S- He kind of gets on my nerves a little but H/w – Let’s have a good match S- Well, I don’t have a choice
27 S- I couldn’t do something like that C- Owaaa!!!? S- Amazing…!!! What was that!? So cool!! S- I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do that

29 J- Hey!! J- Why isn’t anyone in the first years team going for passes!? J- The defence too!! You’re just standing around!! J- Don’t you have any motivation!? S- Woah… he’s pissed S- Is it cuz the first years don’t have any motivation? C- Woah what’s wrong!? C- Satou!! This is your time to shine, talk to Josh S- Ah… yes
30 S-Ah… ha ha ha what’s wrong Josh? J- Oh! Yuuho!!! J- Tell them!! ‘People without a fighting spirit don’t have any right to stand on the court!! Get out of the gym right now’!!! S- I’ll tell them… rather… ha ha ha S- He says get out of the gym right now S-As if!!!! S- There’s senpai there too!! His way of speaking is harsh… is it a culture difference? What should I do…
31 J- How many times do you intend to attack with the same pattern… S- Ah jeez S- Wait wait wait wait S- Calm down!! S- It’s true that besides you the first years aren’t really doing anything S- But we’re tying at the moment!! S- You can hold onto the upperclassmen team alone Josh J- That’s no good!!!
32 J- Basketball isn’t something you do alone!!
33 S- Huh!? It’s fine as long as you get points isn’t it… J- You guys don’t have any right to stand on the court!! S- Oi!! S- Is this guy looking for a fight…!! S- What’s with getting so worked up about club activities… C- Oi!! What!? What’s wrong with Josh? S- Wai… a sec… S- Ah you see… S- ‘Gee basketball sure is fun!! I’m getting worked up-!!!’ S- He says S- You’re too worked up!!! (h/w – ha ha ha) H/w - What C- No way… eh that’s what it is? Doesn’t he seem kind of angry C- No, this is defiantly anger!! Right!? J- Don’t touch me!! S- Ku…!! Don’t you feel sorry for me? (h/w – Even though I looked out for you!!) S- Ah!! J- Hey!!
34 J- Oi you!! Why aren’t you spreading your body even though you’re bigger than you’re opponent!? J- Right!! J- Are you afraid of bumping into your opponent!? J- Huh!? S- Ah~!! Geez!! S- Crap…!!
35 J- Not taking passes on the court is the same as not even existing!! S- Um you see… S- ‘The first years a skilled so it’d be good if they actively went after passes’ S- …He says!! S- So translating means I have to do things like this… it might be unexpectedly hard work… S- I translated it so calm down!! S-… no but if I think it’s for Koganei-chan then…!!!
36 S-I’ll just have to be flexible in my translation J- You, #5, That move during practice, that was pretty good S- Number 5… um… Ide-kun? S- ‘That move you showed in practice was awesome’ S- ‘Work hard and head for the goal just like that’ I- Ah… okay S- And Imai-kun S- ‘You’re bigger than your opponent so spread yourself out and without fear… um… what? Post? S- Post up? S- Ah yeah yeah, so the defence… S- It’s inoffensive this way…
37 S- Even if I just tell them -Oh!! Ii-chan’s first goal!!!
38 I-Ah…Sa-satou-kun!! I- I did it!! S- Eh? No no no S- All I did was translate H/w- ha ha ha
39 -Oh!! It continues!! S- It’s like all of a sudden… S- They can do it, when all he did was give them a bit of advice S- What’s up? Did you get into the swing of things? I- Ah no!! I- They’re amazing right? I- Josh’s passes! S- Passes?
40 I- He shakes off the defence… I- It’s like in the instant you’re thinking ‘pass it to me now!!’ I- The ball’s in your hand!! I- …Like magic
41 -Oh!!! Nice Imai!!! -Did you see that just now!!! It’s really magic, the magic pass!! -Josh’s started passing it seriously… h/w – Hm… magic you say M- The reason Josh’s started judging his passes is M- Because the first year team changed M- The first years are all rookies so their experience is short M- They’re confused about how they should move in a match so they stay still right? M- So if Josh was giving instructions but couldn’t communicate… M- He’d get irritated… M- It would have the opposite effect and everyone would think… M- ‘Why’s he angry? Is it my fault? I can’t move badly’ wouldn’t they? M- They’d get scared and move even less…
42 M- If there’s no communication a vicious cycle is born in the team M- But Satou-kun can tell us Josh’s instructions! M- That’s right!! Satou-kun’s translations are M- Changing the flow of the game!!!
43-44 M- Satou-kun connecting the first years means M- Everyone’s movement becomes better M- Josh’s magic passes are drawn out… M- And that brings out the power of the team!! M- Ah see again!! S- The hero’s magic passes…I… am…?
45 S- These guys are like different people when they’re organised by Josh!! S- …Is Josh is displaying his skills as a passer…?! C- …Alright!! S- A gap in points has opened up… S- The atmosphere around the senpai has changed too… they’re serious!! S- Is this all… M- Thanks to Satou-kun’s instructions!!
46 J- Alright take it!!! J- A swift attack!! J- Everyone – J- Everyone run!!! -…Oh… he put on the airs of a leader even though he’s a complete amateur -He’s in the high school going home club S- Afterwards I was told mercilessly S- I was certainly an amateur and was leading a life alien to the sports lifestyle
47-48 S- But that’s why I thought that pass S- Truly had magic in it S- I could really S- In such an earnest match
49-50 S- Take the lead S- I could be a star sportsman S- Basketball isn’t something you can do alone S- Josh’s passes bring out the team’s power 51-52 S- Josh’s magic pass that I brought out S- This time it will give me strength
53 (ignore sidebar) S- But you know -Uwa!? -Are you okay?! H/w – Ooooh S- For the time being the reality is like this C- Ah~ C- You got us beat!! M- With Josh and Satou-kun’s power… M- The first year team beat the senpai!!
54 M- You’re our heroes!! M- You two!! H/w – wah- - No!! He wasn’t even active!! -Don’t praise him!! That idiot’ll get a big head again!! -Ah… I can see it now… (h/w- ehe) -Huh?
55-56 S-What is this S- My body is trembling S- What is this feeling
57 C-Oi Satou!! Are you listening!? C-What’s with you, you’ve been spaced out since before C-Did you really hit your head back then? S- Ah no!! I’m totally okay – what is it!? C-I said when you’re translating basketball terminology’s a must have so C- I’ll lend you my basketball manuals!! S- Really!? That’ll be a big help S- Alright! By translating I’ll work hard to support the team!! S- While I was saying that S- In my head was
58 S- An image like this M- The real ace was Satou-kun H/w – Heh J- Hey Yuuho missing like you did back there is forbidden S- Say what? S- ‘Yuuho’s got good sense’ you say?! S- Stop you’re making me blush Tagline – He’s an ordinary guy, but he’s trying his best to be a hero!! -Chapter 1/end -Next time there are many changes to Yuuho’s lifestyle!!
