You're damned lucky that Sasaki-san is pretty cute when she's lovestruck, or...or....hmph.
FUKUCHI TSUBASA.
17th Confession: Sasaki-san and Kako.
(Side text- I WILL cleanse myself of this embarassment...)
(TN- The side is an advertisement for the WHF back in January. No point in translating it, so I won't. The other side advertises volume 2 which also came out in January.)
TAKKOKU.
002
(Handwritten- Because of Yashiro Momoko's rule infraction, the match last time went to Gaku. However, there's still more to this story.....)
Kako: Today was a close one Gacchan!!
Muko: Seriously.
I thought Yashiro was just weird with her Monmoko, but she was actually pretty strong.
(Handwritten- Monmoko Monmoko.)
Hikari: Gaku, you got lucky that ya saw through her fancy trick. If ya didn't who knows if ya woulda won?
Kako: Yeah, that's right! The referee should have seen through that trick!!
Hmph! Next time I meet up with her...
I'm gonna give her a piece of my mind!
And......
003
Kako: WAHHH!!!
REFEREE-SAN?!
(Handwritten- When did you get here?!)
Kako: Wh-wh-what?!
Why did you come here?
(Handwritten- Nearly gave me a heart attack!!)
Kako: T—that's right!
Now I can talk to her about today's match!!
E---
Excuse me!!
Toblehh!!
Sasaki: Marunouchi-kun..
I'm very sorry.
My judgment nearly ruined your life today....
My failure is inexcusable.
004
Kako: Y—yeah!!
But things worked out 'cause Gacchan was able to see through that trick!
(Handwritten- You're so incredible!)
Gaku: It was no big deal, Kako-chan.
(Handwritten- Calm down.)
Gaku: There's no need to be so down, Sasaki-san. It couldn't be helped.
Just keep doing your job the best you can, and don't sweat the small stuff!
Sasaki: ...Yeah....
Kako: Huh?
Sasaki: I must be leaving.
See you...
Hikari: She's a scary one...
(Handwritten- I was gonna say somethin' to her too...)
Muko: You have to consider how much she prides her job as a judge. To have to come out and apologize for a err of judgement on her part was probably really hard for her... Despite that, I felt this weird....'presence' when she was here...like an assassin ready to strike.
(Handwritten- As stupid as that sounds...)
005
Gaku: Well, I'm headed home, Kako-chan!
(Handwritten- I'll have to see you later!)
(Handwritten- Does it seem colder today Hikari?)
(Handwritten- Huh? You sure you ain't comin' down with somethin'?)
Gaku: Huh?
(Handwritten- Kako-chan?)
Kako: Glaaaaaare~
(Sfx- Sasa sasa swff sfff)
Kako: The ref's eyes just now...
I could feel the killing intent oozing from them.....
But she couldn't possibly be thinking of doing something like that...!
(Handwritten- I have to make sure.)
Sasaki: Exterminate...
Kako: Huh?
006
Sasaki: I can't forgive him..
I will...
Erase Marunouchi...!!
Kako: Waaahh.....
What do I do?!
She's really upset about today's judgment!!
So upset that she wants to kill Gacchan!!!
(Handwritten- She'd go that far over ping-pong?!)
Kako: That's it....
This is a trial!!
Fate is testing to see if I'm worthy to be Gacchan's wife!!
(Sfx- Gyuuu grnnd)
Kako: I'll do it Gacchan!!
I'll...
Protect you for sure!!
007
Sasaki: Hmm..
Now what should I do?
Kako: Huh?
She's planning something?
Maybe she's already scheming on how to kill Gacchan!!
Sasaki: How should I....
Erase him...?
Kako: She's really plotting ways to kill him!!
Sasaki: Burying him...
Yes, that sounds good...!!
Kako: YOU CAN'T BURY HIM!!
I'll just have to follow her for now!!
Sasaki: I know...
A mountain...
Kako: SHE'S GONNA BURY HIM AT A MOUNTAIN?!
008
Kako: Huh? She's heading into the mountains alone?
Why'd she come here?
She's kneeling?!
Maybe she's been overwhelmed with grief?!
Sasaki: Now to find a good place to bury it...
once it's been erased....
Kako: SHE'S LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO BURY THE EVIDENCE!!
She's even digging up the ground to do it!!
009
Kako: A water fall...?
No way....!!
Sasaki: Here...
I'll sink him here...!!
He'll never float to the surface again...!!
Kako: SHE'S DECIDED ON WHERE TO KILL HIM!!
Wh—what should I do?! Gacchan's done for at this rate!!
Referee-san, please...!!
Think hard about this!!
Please...
Please....!!
010
Kako: Please...!!
Don't take Gacchan away from me!!
Sasaki: I can't...
Kako: Huh?
Oh good, she's going to stop!!
My thoughts reached her!!
Heh....
(Handwritten- Is this the power of love?)
011
Sasaki: Drowning is too good for him...
It has to be...
A more painful, brutal death than that...!!
Yes....
Kako: My thoughts only made things worse!!
(Handwritten- I'm sorry Gacchan!!)
Kako: Besides that, what's worse than drowning?!
Beating?
Stabbing?
Stop...
Please stop!!
012
Sasaki: After I eat him,
I'll clean up real good...
(Sfx- Gusha blssh)
(Sfx- Baki bakii crackle crackle)
(Sfx- Baki gusha crackle blssh)
(Sfx- Baki baki baki crackle crackle crackle)
013 Kako: S--
STOOOOOP!!!
Sasaki: Huh?!
Kako: You can't eat him!!
Sasaki: Ta--
Tamano-san?!
(Handwritten- Why are you here?)
014
Kako: Please Referee-san!!
Don't take him...
Don't take Gacchan away from me!!
Gacchan is my whole world...!!
He's not too good at sports...
Or very strong...
But he's been trying so hard to learn ping pong for me..!!
(Sfx- Gyuuu grnnnd)
Kako: He's been trying so hard, pushing his limits..
He's the man I want to spend my life with!!
015
Kako: Gacchan is everything to me...
He's my world...
There isn't anyone on this planet that...
Can replace my one and only Gacchan!!
016
Kako: So please...
Don't take him away from me!!
(Handwritten- You can eat me instead!!)
Sasaki: Marunouchi-kun must be very happy..
To have someone who loves him as much as you...!
Kako: Huh?
017
Sasaki: I've lost to you...
Tamano-san!
Kako: Then you'll...
Sasaki: Right, I won't touch him.
Another feeling is filling me from top to bottom...
But I understand. I won't challenge him to a 'Takkoku' match any more.
Kako: Huh?
(Handwritten- Takkoku?)
Kako: Um...
018
Sasaki: I'm completely free of these feelings I had for Marunouchi!
I only 'used' to love him!!
Kako: Loved...
Him?
Huh?
(Box- Rewind.)
019
(Box- Play.)
(Sasaki's POV.)
Sasaki: My judgment nearly ruined your life today....
Though, I'm pretty sure you won't forgive me...
Gaku: There's no need to be so down, Sasaki-san. It couldn't be helped.
Just keep doing your job the best you can,
And don't sweat the small stuff!
Sasaki: J—just who is he...!
Although I made such a mistake, he can still look at me and smile earnestly!!
It's...
Dazzling...!!
Gah! No, no! I'm the Referee! I can't fall in love!
If I do, I won't be able to pass judgment down properly!!
020
Sasaki: I have to bite down on them..
Bite down on these feelings till they die off!
Ow! I bit my tongue!!
See you...
Oh no...!!
The Referee can't have feelings like this and still judge Takkoku fairly!!
(Handwritten- What do I do?!)
Sasaki: I have to hurry..
Hurry and erase these feelings from my heart...!
Eliminate them!!
I can't forgive (Myself!)
I have to erase (these feelings I have for) Marunouchi-kun!
Geez, I'm blushing again!!
(Handwritten- She's going to erase Gacchan!!)
Sasaki: But what should I do?
How do I erase (these feelings I have for) him?
(Handwritten- She's plotting ways to kill him!)
Sasaki: Burying (these feelings somewhere else),
Would be good.
(Handwritten- You can't bury him!!)
Sasaki: For now, I need to train myself!!
I know, (If I'm going to train) a mountain.
(Handwritten- Go me!)
(Handwritten- She's going to bury him at a mountain!!)
021
Sasaki: I came to the mountain...
But it's huge...
Suddenly my heart isn't into this..
Wah!!
That was close!!
I have to watch myself..
(Now to train..) But where's a good place to bury it....?
(Handwritten- Owiee.)
(Handwritten- She's looking for a place to bury the evicence!)
Sasaki: Here!!
(If I stand under the water fall, my heart may cool off) and the silence will do me some good!
(Until Marunouchi's face stays buried deep down.) I can't resurface again!
Sasaki: Now to take a step...
(Sfx- joponn ploosh)
Sasaki: C--
Coooold!!
Sasaki: No good...
I can't do this (here).
The (water temperature) is too much here!!
022
Sasaki: I guess going straight to a waterfall was a bit much...
All right, I'll try harder with the next one...
It has to be more brutal than that...!!!
I'm not going to run away this time!!
(Handwritten- A more brutal death?!)
Sasaki: Huh? Who's are these?
People need to mind their manners when camping out!
Look at all of this trash!
After eating....
People have to clean (their trash) really well!
(Sfx- Gusha blssh)
(Sfx- Baki Baki crackle crackle)
(Sfx- Gusha blssh)
(Handwritten- Like crushing these water bottles...)
Sasaki: That's why I'm here..
Kako: Ah.. So that's all it was!
Sasaki: Yep!
Kako: Ahahah...
Sasaki: Hehehehe..
{Handwritten- This punch line needs some work..}
(Side text- It's good the misunderstanding was cleared up..but Kako, you and Gaku need to hook up!!)
https://mangahelpers.com/t/bomberdrufi/releases/25331[English] [Translation] Takkoku!!! 16 by Bomber D Rufi2010-10-13T06:41:56+00:00Bomber D Rufiadmin@mangahelpers.comI have to wake up in two hours to go to work.
Gaku: The ball...
It's running wild!!
(Sfx- Gyurururu whirrrrrr)
TAKKOKU FUKUCHI TSUBASA.
Muko: Ho---
How is it spinning like that?!
(Handwritten- Is the ball seriously made of magic?!)
Hikari: It's like...
Tha ball is spinnin all on it's own...
(Under panel- 16th confession: Words out of reach.)
{When she says 'Mokomon', the spirits are ready to reveal their answer!!}
Hikari: ….No way!!
Yashiro: My 'Monmokurin' is...
Absolutely unstoppable!
002
Gaku: Ah...!!!
(Sfx- Dotsu dfff)
(Sfx- Patsuuu whfff)
Yashiro: Mokomon.
Referee: Point 0-1! Score Yashiro!
Muko: W—wait! What just happened?!
Hikari: I knew it..
So that's what's goin' on!
Muko: Huh?
003
Referee: Serve, Marunouchi!!
Gaku: Just what is that ball....?!
Yashiro: Mokomon!!
Hikari: It's her predictin'!!
Whenever she says somethin, she's able to control tha spirit in that ball!!
(Sfx- Kyuutsu wfff)
(Sfx- Kyuruuun whiiiirrr)
Gaku: Again?!
Ngh..
Ugh...!!
Kako: What's wrong Gacchan?!
For a ball like that, you just need to read the trajectory and hit it!! That's soo easy!!
Muko: For YOU maybe!!
004
Referee: 0-2!!
Gaku: No good!!
0-4!!
Whether it's the ball's timing...
Kako: Gacchan!!
Gaku: Or it's direction, I can't read it at all!!
Hikari: Gaku!!
{What should I do?}
005 (Sfx- Shurururuu whirrrrr)
Referee: 0-10.
Yashiro: Mokomon!
Referee: Yashiro, Match point!
Gaku: Ah..
Hah
Hah..
Guy: Heh, this is the part when this guy pulls his miracle turn around victory, isn't it?
Guy2: Of course!! He's been getting whipped by the Monmokokuri, but you know he's got something..
It's about time for him to turn things around. After all, he's still got twelve pages to try and stop Yashiro-chan's serve, right?
Kako: Gacchan!!!
Never give up!!!
006
Muko: Hey ref!!
Isn't that incense sort of suspicious?!
There's a good chance it's creating some sort of illusion!!
Referee: I already checked it out.
There's nothing particularly special about it.
Gaku: I'm fine Muko!
The smoke does make it hard to see, but it's not worth throwing the match over.
(Handwritten- Besides she's in the same boat.)
Muko: Nggh..
(Handwritten- Y—yeah.)
Hikari: That' idjut!! How is she makin' the ball zig-zag like that?! Gaku can't even keep up!!
Kako!! Aint'cha gonna cheer 'im on?
If you cheer with yer fightin' spirit, it's bound to help 'im out!!
Kako: Huh?
(Handwritten- Fighting spirit?)
Referee: Serve, Yashiro!!
(Sfx- Zuu fwff)
Gaku: Damn it..
There has to be...
Some kind of mechanism behind this...!!
I just need some time to unravel the mystery...!!
007
Gaku: Not good...
I haven't figured it out yet...!!
At this rate...
I'm done for!!
Hikari: Do it now, Kako!!
(Handwritten- Go for it!)
Kako: O, Okay!!
Ga...
Gacchan!!
DON'T MYUUUSE!!
Hikari: She had a slip of tha tongue NOW?!
(Handwritten- Tain't no way!!)
008
Yashiro: Mokomo.... Guggh!!!
(Sfx- Kon tap)
Gaku: Huh?!
Guy: Whoa..
It didn't change?!?
Kako: My cheer worked!!!
Muko: Here's your chance!!
009
Yashiro: Drat it....
Referee: 1-10!!
Kids: oooooh!!!
He managed to get a point!!
Muko: But why?
Gaku: Hah...
Hah...
010
Gaku: Heh...
Getting lucky somehow....huh?
Rather than somehow, i'd say that fortune was right on the mark.
Muko: What?
Gaku: Thanks for that slip in the tounge, Kako-chan.
Kako: Huh?
Gaku: Watch me carefully....
This is the power of love!!!
011 Yashiro: It's futile.
My magic ping-pong ball 'Monmokokuri' is absolutely unstoppable!!
You'll never be able to read the ball's trajectory and movement!!
{This is..}
{The end!!}
Yashiro: MOKOMON!!
012
Gaku: Not happening!!
013
Kako: Huh?
Hikari: Wha...
Kids: He...
He caught the ball!!
Muko: That idiot...!!
He broke the rules!!
???: Marunouchi just threw the match!!
Why'd he just give up?!
Muko: Ka, Kako!!
(Handwritten- Hang in there!)
Referee: Because he broke the obstruction rule, the score is now 11-1!
The winner is Yashiro...
Gaku: Excuse me...
Referee: Huh?
Gaku: If it's the rules you're worried about....
This ball would be a problem too, right? Have a look....
014
Gaku: This ball is a little mousey.
Referee: This is a major infraction...
Yashiro: I---
I'm sorry...
015
Referee: Because Yashiro Momoko broke the rule of ping pong ball substitution...
The winner is Marunouchi Gaku!!
Someone: Whaaaaat?!
Kako: Gachaaaaaaaaaan!!!
Hikari: A—mouse?
Muko: You're kidding right?
Kako: I'm so happy, Gacchan!!
When did you notice it was a mouse instead of a ball?
Gaku: Well, it was when I hit that Monmokori with a smash.
Kako: Huh?
016
Gaku: See, when she swings, the ball enters her sleeve.
At the same time, the mouse hidden in her clothes comes out of the opposite sleeve.
Since the lack of noise when hitting the 'ball' with the racket would give her away, she would yell out 'Mokomon' in a loud voice to cover her tracks!
I had thought it strange you'd want to play ping pong in your miko outfit, but this explains it right?
Without those sleeves, your plan falls apart.
Yashiro: How did you know...?
I hid Chuutarou perfectly....how did you know?!
Chuutarou: Squeak!
Gaku: Yeah...
You even got a white mouse, to keep the chance of discovery low.
(Handwritten- Even looking closely, I had no idea!)
Gaku: On top of that, no one would be expecting anything other than a ball to be used in a match, which makes it even harder to see through the illusion.
Magic guy: I'm going to make this ball disappear in an instant!
Although it's no more than a white balloon...
(Bottom- Observers who think this a ball.)
Gaku: This is using people's 'perception'. This is also the foundation of magic; to betray the audience's expectations.
I learned this back when I was in Las vegas.
Muko: W—Wait! Sure we weren't able to see the ball properly, but that's cause we're so far away!
Shouldn't you who's up close and personal with it be able to tell the difference?!
Gaku: Well, normally it would be hard to tell...
017
Gaku: But the 'incense' distorted my vision a bit....
Muko: What?
{I'm okay...}
{It's just hard to see with this smoke...}
Muko: Ah..
(Handwritten- I see...)
Gaku: It's awfully plain, but in a situation like this, it's perfect for throwing one into confusion.
Even the referee didn't notice the switch!
{For the first time, Sasaki-san realized that she had been fooled.} Hikari: But how'd ya know that the ball was a mouse?!
Gaku: It was because of Kako-chan's slip of the tongue.
Kako: Huh?
(Handwritten- Me?)
Gaku: The mouse reacted to Kako's slip of the tongue because she sounded like a cat.
So it freaked out, and shifted it's place inside of your clothes, didn't it?
I know that cats often hang around here, looking for water bottles to drink out of...
But when I saw your reaction, I knew something was in your clothes.
018
Gaku: From there, it was just knowing where the mouse was hiding in your clothes...
That's when it came to me. You wear perfume because you want to hide the mouse's scent on you!!
Kids: Is he serious? She's been fooling us?
Then what about her consultation?
She can't really communicate with the spirits?!
Seriously?!
Say it ain't so, Yashiro-chan!
You're kidding right?!
Yashiro-chan!
Chuutarou: Squeak...
Yashiro: I'm sorry for fooling you.
My divination wasn't the truth.
Kids: N—no way!!
I believed in your words Yashiro-chan!!
So did I!!
You've just been acting like a priestess haven't you!! You fooled us!!
019
Rikoccha: Wait!!
Yashiro isn't a bad person....
It's me!!
I'm the one who told her to act like a priestess!!
Kids: What?
What do you mean?
Yashiro: Rikoccha...
Rikoccha: Yashiro...
let me tell them.
For a long time now...
Shes been able to see into people's problems...
Her perception is better than most people.
020
Rikoccha: She's such a kind girl, so she'd solve anyone's problems.
She'd offer people her help, and advice, all cause she wanted to be helpful!!
But...
People: Mind your own business!
Who are you?!
What are you talking about?!
Go away!!
Rikoccha: No one would listen to anything she said.
I mean it makes sense...
Why would anyone trust a little girl to give them sound advice?
So I said to Yashiro...
'Your words don't reach anyone, do they...?'
'If that's the case, you'll have to talk to them as someone else'....
021
Rikoccha: Her house is a temple...
So I suggested the priestess guise.
You could tell people that you talk to 'spirits'! I told her...
Heh, stupid huh?
Consultations, would come to people on a subscription basis, and I would research people before she takes them on as a client....
With the priestess set up, we came up with the Monmokokuri idea.
Yashiro: I'm sorry Rikoccha...
It's all my fault we were found out.
Rikoccha: You didn't do anything wrong!!
I'm the one who should be sorry, Yashiro!
It must have been tough for you....it must have hurt you.....!!
And I...I just kept pushing you to do unnecessary things...!!
Yashiro: Don't be foolish Rikoccha.
It's actually the contrary.
I'm grateful you were there for me.
022
Yashiro: You rescued my words.....
for that I am eternally grateful!!
Rikoccha: Yashiro...!!
I'm sorry!!
So sorry!!
Kids: Hey..
Yeah...
Yeah!!
023
Kid: We'd like to talk to you...
We want a consultation from Yashiro-chan!!
Yeah!
Yashiro-chan is still Yashiro-chan!!
Yashiro-chan! Can you listen to my problem?
Me too!
Me, too!!
Rikoccha: Ah!!
(Handwritten- Me first!// Don't be stupid! I have a bigger problem then you!// What's that?)
Muko: I don't quite get this, though...
Hikari: It's nice to see that things worked out after all.
(Handwritten- And Gaku won..!)
Rikoccha: But you surprised me Yashiro!
I never thought I'd hear such a 'Virgin road' type prediction come from you!
Yashiro: Huh?
Rikoccha: It's fine though, you're always so worried about others, that I thought you'd never play Takkoku for yourself, this is moving!!
Yashiro: Virgin road? What is that?
(TN- I'll tell you Yashiro-chan! It's a TV drama!)
Rikoccha: Don't be shy! Didn't you say you'd be walking down a red isle with Marunouchi?! Yashiro: What are you talking about Rikoccha?
Aren't a priestess with a temple?
(Handwritten- Virgin road?)
(Handwritten- Don't be foolish.)
Rikoccha: Huh?
Then the red isles are...?
Yashiro: As a priestess, I have to play several different roles.
I'm somewhat enamored with playing that one.
024
Yashiro: My aim is to be a famous Hollywood actress!!
I want to walk down the red isle with my Academy award in one arm, and my partner in the other!!
I-i-i-It's not strange that I'd like a man like Marunouchi with me..
As he is a man who knows plenty of the world...
As a Hollywood actress, such a man would make a perfect husband!
S-So although I lost this time....
Next time, I will make you mine!!!
Gaku: Should I get cleaned up and wait?
Yashiro: Yes. Please do.
Kako: WAH!!
{The girls who fall for Gaku are all like this, huh?}

I haven't released one of these since...March? Strap your ping pong paddles in though, love struck fans....cause there's PLENTY where this came from.
???: I see...
The dog at your house is acting strangely?
It's lacking in energy? And you're not sure of what to do?
(Side text- She listens to her classmate's problems...but who is she really?!)
(Bottom text- It's hugely popular! Celebrate Takkoku!!! with color pages and two chapters!!)
Girl: ...That's right!!
My dog Maru hasn't been eating his food...!!
Kids: Wooow!!
That's Yashiro-chan for ya!
She was able to get right to the problem!
Yashiro: Now, I will tell you what is wrong with your dog.
Kid: Here it comes...!!
Yashiro-chan's...
Monmoko's divination!!!
(TN- I think that's a nick name. Her actual name is revealed later, and it's not Monmoko.)
002
(Side text- A miko with a racket...how cool!)
TAKKOKU FUKUCHI TSUBASA
15th confession: Monmoko.
003
Gaku: Hmm...
Now how do I go about beating Kako-chan in a match...?
Muko: What's up with you all of a sudden?
Gaku: I wasn't able to beat Kako-chan again, even though I’ve been training!
Maybe I'm approaching this from the wrong angle....
Practicing day in and day out doesn't seem to do a thing for me..
My best bet is a tool or something like that....
Hikari: Ya might as well not get yer panties in a bunch, tain't no way a newbie is gonna beat royalty.
004
Kako: Don't worry Gacchan!!
See, look at this horoscope! It's right on, isn't it!?
'Today looks pretty decent, maybe'!
'You'll be lucky, somehow!'
See?
(Handwritten- See, look!!)
Hikari: THAT PREDICTION AIN'T TOO SURE OF ITSELF AT ALL!!
(Handwritten- How's that lucky?!)
Gaku: It can't be impossible to defeat her in a match....there has to be a way....
Like....like...
Maybe more practice, every day?
Hikari: Ain't ya back where ya started?!
Muko: He's never going to overcome his obstacle...
(Handwritten- Why dontcha come and practice with me?)
(Handwritten- You can't!)
(Sfx- Bun bun fwip fwip)
(On book- Weekly fortunes.)
Muko: It's not the same as fortunetelling...
Gaku: Huh..?
005
Muko: But how about...
We go ask her?
???: I see...
You feel like your childhood friend that you played with a long time ago,
Has suddenly stopped talking to you?
Girl: Y—Yes he has, Yashiro-senpai!
Yashiro: And he's in the same class?
Girl: Y—yes! He's in class 1-C! His name is Tanaka-kun!!
Guy: There she goes! She's gotten right to the root of the problem!!
You're amazing Yashiro-chan!
Muko: Right here.
Gaku: What's going on here? Why is everyone so noisy?
006
Muko: Yashiro Momoko.
During breaks in classes, she's a consultant for people who have problems.
Gaku: Oh?
(Handwritten- Wah! Don't look!)
Yashiro: Tanaka in class 1-C?
Now, I will tell you the reason why he has become quiet around you.
Kid: Here it comes!!
Yashiro-chan's 'Monmoko divination'!!
(Handwritten- I see!)
Hikari: Oh?
007 Hikari: Divination? I think I know that..
Ain't it when those priestesses call them spirits into their bodies?
(Handwritten- Goin in!)
Hikari: But I ain't never heard of this 'Monmoko divination' before.
Gaku: Is it when you chant 'Monmokomonmoko'?
(Handwritten- Monmokomonmoko!)
Hikari: Of course it ain't!!
(Handwritten- What is that, anyway?)
Kid: The Monmoko divination is starting!!
Yashiro: Monmoko Monmoko...
Monmoko monmoko...
Hikari: SHE'S DOING THE MONMOKO!!!
Yashiro: Monmoko monmoko...
Mokomon...!!
Kid: She just said 'Mokomon'!!
When she says that, the spirits are ready to reveal their answer!!
Hikari: That explanation sucks!!
(Handwritten- Why would something like that happen?!)
Girl: Ah...
Um...er..
Tanaka-kun?
(Handwritten- Is that you?)
008
Yahshiro: MY NAME IS BONAKALDEI PAIZER.
Fuego! (Handwritten- Come on!)
Hikari: WHO THE HECK IS THAT?!
Girl: Ah!
It is you!! Tanaka Bonakaldei Baizer Kunio-kun!!
Hikari: YOU'VE MET HIM BEFORE?!
(Handwritten- That's one hell of a name Tanaka!!)
Gaku: And this is....?
Muko: Her family owns a shrine, and is talented with fortunetelling. Divination runs in their blood.
I've seen her do some fortunetelling, and it seems like it's for real.
009
Girl: U—um Tanaka-kun...
Why have you been so quiet around me lately?!
Did I do something wrong?
Yashiro: Dummy, you haven't figured it out?
Girl: H---huh?
Yashiro: The truth is....
I...
I...
Like you. Fuego.
Hikari: ARE YOU BLUSHING?!
Yashiro: I said I like you! Fuego!
I've always had these feelings, day after day i've wanted you, fuego...
But I could never come up with the right words, fuego.
Hikari: YER SAYIN' FUEGO TOO MUCH TANAKA!!
Girl: You should have just said so...! Dummy!
010
Yashiro: MOKOMON!!
Guy: When she says 'Mokomon' for a second time, the spirit has left her body.
Nice work, Yashiro-chan!
Hikari: Do you have the hots for her, buddy?
(Handwritten- Although I guess it's nice yer around to to explain...)
Girl: Um...Yashiro-senpai...
I....
Yashiro: You know what to do.
Girl: Huh?
Yashiro: It might be difficult now, but you have to challenge him to a 'Takkoku' match.
That way, you can convey your feelings to him. That would be for the best, no?
011
???: Nishino!!
Nishino: Ta—Tanaka-kun?!
Hikari: Oh?!
(Handwritten- Is he really as cool as he sounds?)
Tanaka: Fuego.
(Handwritten- Come on!)
(Handwritten- Tanaka-kun, why are you here?!)
Hikari: Aint' you just the cutest lil' thing Tanaka Bonakaldei Paiser!!!
Nishino: Ta, Tanaka-kun...!!
Um...
Please, lets have a Takkoku match!! Tanaka: I...I thought that this would never happen, Fuego! I've always wanted to have a match!!
Nishino: Really?!
Gaku: Ah...
She totally hit the mark! Amazing!
Muko: Asking her for a consultation means that you'll get a one-hundred percent correct response.
Maybe you should ask her about your problem?
012
???: Yashiro-chan! I want a consultation next!!
???: No, do me next!!
???: No, me!
???: Me!!
???: Wait just a minute!
Hold it!!
Yashiro is worn out!!
That's enough for today!!
???: whaaaaaat!?
Yashiro: Rikoccha,
I'm not particularly tired or...
Rikoccha: We're out of here!
Let's go, Yashiro!
You've got another person to consult with!!
Yashiro: Okay.
Kids: You suuuck!!
Rikoccha: I told you no more consultations without consulting me!
You're far too kind to those people, Yashiro!! Yashiro: Sorry, Rikoccha...
013
Gaku: Excuse me...
Rikoccha: Out of the way!
No more divination today!
Gaku: Oh.
(Sfx- Kun sniff)
Gaku: Perfume?
014
(Sfx- Patsu pat)
(Sfx- Kuru spin)
Rikoccha: Huh?
W—wait a minute!
Muko: You get a good consultation?
Gaku: I tried to, but she seemed tired...
Hm?
What is it?
015
Kako: WAH!!!
(Handwritten- S-s-s-she's so close!!)
Gaku: Um...
Yashiro: You are no normal boy.
What kind of life have you lead up until now?
Gaku: Well...
I did leave Japan when I was four...
And I'd say I've been to about one-hundred-ninety countries since then...
Yashiro: Momon...
KOMON!!
Hikari: What's that?! Don't she normally say somethin' like 'Monmoko?!
(Handwritten- She's totally flipped over!)
016
Yashiro: I see it...
(Handwritten- What?)
Yashiro: People from all over gathered at a temple, bathing us with praise.....
As we walk down stairs covered in red carpeting....this is the bright future I see for us!!
Kako: Wha?!
Hikari: WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAT?!
017
Hikari: But...that ain't right...
Ain't cha just predictin...

Rikoccha: Yashiro!!
Why did you run off like that..!!
Yashiro: What's wrong?
???: Yashiro-chan's just revealed God's revelation!!
So she's gonna marry Marunouchi somehow...?!
Rikocchan: Yashiro...
Are you...
Serious....?
Yashiro: Mokomon.
Hikari: Why is she usin' it to confirm her answer?!
(Handwritten- Did she mean 'Mochiron' or somethin'?
(TN- Mochiron is Japanese for 'of course.')
Yashiro: Now,
What is your name?
Gaku: Marunouchi Gaku.
Kako: N—no way..
Yashiro: I see, well then Marunouchi....
018
Yashiro: Follow me...
To a 'Takkoku' match!!
Kako: WAH!!
(Handwritten- I knew it!!)
Yashiro: Can I win?
Hmph, don't make me laugh.
Kako: Wah!!
(Handwritten- Who is she talking to?)
019
Referee: And now, the match between Marunouchi Gaku and Yashiro Momoko...
Gaku: Can you move around in those clothes?
Referee: Will begin!!
Yashiro: This is what I wear to play ping-pong.
Kid: Wow! To think that Yashiro-chan would challenge someone to a Takkoku match!!
But...isn't it normal for someone who's in love to have a Takkoku match? Don't be stupid!! This is God's revelation we're talking about!!
(Handwritten- She is a Miko after all!!)
020
Kako: L-O-V-E!!
FIGHT ON!!
(Handwritten- Fight on!!)
(Handwritten- So it's cheer leading today...)
Muko: Geez, a love consultation turns into a love confession....
Hikari: More like, I ain't nevah heard of playin' ping-pong on tatami mats.
(Handwritten- Fits a miko though.)
Gaku: Incense?
(Sfx- Moku moku bubble bubble)
Guy: Marunouchi is done for this time.
Yeah, especially since Yashiro-chan is his opponent!
Kako: Huh?
Referee: It's Marunouchi's serve!!
Gaku: All right, I'm not going to lose!!
021
Gaku: Hah!
(Sfx- Chira shfft)
Gaku: Right?!
Muko: An opposite curve!!
You idiot, you totally got served by that feint!!
You haven't gotten any better at all!!
022 (Sfx- Hyutsu fwff)
Muko: What?!
Hikari: Huh?!
This is...?!
023
Kid: Whooooa!!
Marunouchi's like...awesome now!!
Wow..
He's totally come into his own!!
Go for it, buddy!
Kako: Gacchan!!
Hikari: All right!
Yer special trainin' was doin' some good after all!
(Handwritten- Ya go boy!!)
024
Yashiro: You're no ordinary player...
Conventional methods will do no good.
Kid: Here it comes...
Yashiro-chan's gonna use that move!
Muko: What?
Yashiro: Monmoko Monmoko...
Monmoko Monmoko...
Monmoko monmoko..
Hikari: Wha...somethin's startin...!!
Yashiro: Monmoko monmoko... Monmoko...

(Sfx- Kyuruuu spnnn)

I'd call this the BDR version of Funimation's 'roll out riot' thing they do every year, but mine is slightly less disappointing.
TAKKOKU (Side text- Preparations are all done! Let’s GO on a date!!) 14th confession: ‘Cause it’s my first date. FUKUCHI TSUBASA.

003 Kako: Of course! I’ve been waiting all week for Sunday…. Better known as the day where Gacchan and I go on our ‘First date!’ Muko: Well, you are done with your matches for today, And as usual, not a single person could beat you in Takkoku… It would be a good chance for you to train with Marunouchi on Saturday as well… Kako: Yeah! But Gacchan and I have a Sunday free this week!! {The future for the two of us is important….} {But we should really treasure the time we have together now as well!} (Handwritten- I think it might rain on Sunday Kako-chan.)

(Handwritten- Be careful Kako) Kako: Hehe! (Handwritten- What does that mean?) {One Thousand people) (Handwritten- Teruterubozu) (TN- A Teruterubozu is a figurine made to keep rain away. I guess one thousand of them would do the trick too…) Hikari: So ya even got the weather ta bend for ya huh Kako? I’ll say Ah’m impressed, but ya haven’t seen mah full powah yet. (Handwritten- How’d ya make one thousand of those anyway? Tain’t normal!!) Hikari: Speakin’ of which….
005 Hikari: What are ya doin followin’ me Giga?! Giga: What the hell are you talking about Osaka-woman? I’m a student of Gaku’s school for love, and I’m here to study. Isn’t that why you’re here? Hikari: I ain’t here for that! Kako: Gacchan!! I’ve got a ‘Perfect date plan’ so that nothing’ll go wrong!! (Handwritten- Leave it to me!) Gaku: That’s my Kako-chan! I could fall in love with you! Kako: Aww! Okay, we’re off to our first spot… The Aquarium!!
006 Seabeast: No can do. Today, we’re not allowing girls with twin tailed hair and blond boys to enter the park. You two aren’t allowed! (Sign- Entry NG!!) (Handwritten- No waaaay!!) Hikari: Heheheh…. I ain’t gonna let ya’ll have that perfect date!! {Hikari IN.} Gaku: Why can’t we go in? Seabeast! Hikari: ‘Cause when Sharks see that blond hair of yours they go crazy. Gaku: Then I’ll dye my blond hair!! (Handwritten- Kako’s hair should be fine right?) Seabeast! Hikari: What?! D—Damn!! They’d go that far…!! Gaku: Um…ah… Hmm.. Seabeast! Hikari: Ah…oh yeah!!!

(Handwritten- Let’s go Shinji!) Gaku: Maybe we should go then.) (Handwritten- We’re never coming here again!) Seabeast! Hikari: Sorry all ya Aquarium folk… Gaku: Well, there’s no other choice Kako-chan. Let’s go to the next spot! Kako: Waaah….why… Seabeast! Hikari: Heheheheh… Aquariums are now off limits to ya’ll!

Gaku: True, but you’re cuter Kako-chan! Kako: Hehe… Seabeast! Hikari: ‘They just found another way to be lovey-dovey!! Giga: It’s the love ougi!!! LOVE FLOW!! Seabeast! Hikari: WHAT?! (TN- Ougi is…like a secret or powerful move. Uh…it just doesn’t work translated so…or well I guess I could have written ‘Mystic arte’ instead….but then you’d know what I’d rather be doing than translating this.)
008 Kako: Next up, a couples hot spot for fine dining! Let me introduce you to the ‘Underground City walker’… Teahouse Marco and love love parfait! (Sfx- Bicha bicha *drip drip*) (Sfx- Guni guni *splorch*) (Sfx- Uni uni *sqweem squeem*) {This isn’t what I was thinking….} {When I heard ‘Underground walker’} (Sfx- Gokuri *sweat*)
009 ???: This would be our specialty ‘Love Love parfait.’ Kako: Wha? That’ can’t be right!! The Underground walker is supposed to be cuter… Hikari: Please enjoy your love love parfait. {Hehehe, now this oughtta break up tha mood!!} {Yer love love ain’t ready for this…!!} Hikari: But it’s just the parfait!!! Gaku: Hmm… This IS a bit strange… (Sfx- Hyoui *wifff*) (Sfx- Paku *chew*) Hikari: YER ACTUALLY EATIN’ IT?! Kako: Gacchan, you tasted that for me?! Gaku: Kind of. I really was curious about the taste! *Burp* Kako: You’re so cool~!! Giga: And the second ougi!! LOVE POISON FLAVORING!! Hikari: I’m askin’ ya, what is that?!
010 Gaku: Where are we Kako-chan? Kako: I told you before! It’s the ‘Third avenue’ mansion! This is a super famous date spot you know? It’s said that this is where many couples decided to take their relationship to the next level… They ask each other the big question here….and legend has it that their happiness lasts forever. Gaku: Really-! (Handwritten- Looks like a treasure house…) Gaku: And what happens when we ask it? Kako: Apparently the spirit of a girl comes down and judges the couple. If she refuses to acknowledge them, then they will never find happiness in a relationship. (Handwritten- I see..) Hikari: Heheh…
011 Hikari: So yer the type to believe in stuff like that are ya Kako? Ah’ll refuse ya’ll then…!! Ah’ll attack ya hard and fast with mah rejection. (Handwritten- Gehehehe) {Everyone at home, please look into the face of pure evil.} Kako: And now… On three!! Gaku: Achooo!! Hikari: I REFUSE!! (Handwritten- Sorry about that.)

013 Gaku: Yeah… We’re safe!! Hikari: That’s just yer opinion isn’t it?! Gaku: We just barely made it Kako-chan!! Kako: Yay! I’m so glad!! Barely making it is better than nothing! Gaku: We were a little bit late, but it turned around in the last inning. Kako: Yeah, I knew it! We managed to make a compeback Gacchan! Gaku; Heheh. Kako: Teehee! Hikari: It’s all lovey dovey again! Giga: H—hey what’s with this sudden cold feeling..!! This perfect turnaround….!! Could it be the third ougi…. Love jaa Hikari: JUSS GO HOME WHY DON’TCHA!! (Handwritten- ‘Knock off the love stuff!)
014 Kako: Love love Teddy bears!! {After that, Hikari had other plans to spoil their perfect date, however…} Gaku: Kako: So cute… Hikari: He made that?! Kako: It wasn’t a love story, but a horror one?! Hikari: Scary ain’t it?! Gaku: You know, I met that actor in Hollywood…. Kako: Ooh, no need to be afraid then… Hikari: You serious?! {Unfortunately for her, each of her plans fell victim to the passionate fire those two have for each other.} Giga: Ougi number eight ‘Love Connection… Right…? Hikari: Yer still here?!
015 Hikari: Whyyy!? Every time Ah try to break ‘em apart, they just get a lil’ closer!!! Giga: Heheheh… This is great… I’ve learned eleven ougi’s today…all from following Gaku around…..!! I should have expected this from Gaku…I’m glad I kept my eyes on him! The day I understand ‘love’ is coming…!! I can feel it! Hikari: No it ain’t! It’s gettin’ further!! Hikari: H—huh!! I lost sight of dem to!! Giga: Hyahahah!!! Hikari: Shaddup you!! Giga, its yer fault! Giga: Huh? How?
016 (Handwritten- Am I tryin’ to get at something that’s impossible….? Ah can’t stop them like this…) Giga: Hey Osaka woman. You know… Hikari: WHAT?! (Handwritten- The hell YOU want?) Giga: Why’d you fall for Gaku anyway? I haven’t heard you talk about it. Hikari: W—why? Well that’s ‘cause.. When Ah was in trouble, he saved me… Giga: Huh? Why? Hikari: I--- It was love at first sight!! Ah don’t need a reason!! Ah guess my love is as shallow as a water puddle then!! Dammit… Ah should have known better…mah little love for Gaku ain’t gonna stand up to the ten years Kako’s got with ‘im… Giga: I don’t get what you’re saying at all…
017 Giga: Love at first sight is still love isn’t it? I think that’s pretty awesome on its own. (Handwritten- Alright, off to the library to study!) Hikari: Whatcha talkin’ bout?! Loser!
018 Gaku: I had fun today Kako-chan! What’s wrong? Kako: I thought today would be a great chance to hang out and have fun with you Gacchan… That’s why I spent so much time thinking of that plan…. Uuuh… Gaku: You’ve been pushing yourself a lot lately…. What’s up Kako-chan? Didn’t you have fun today Kako-chan?
019 Kako: I did have fun… But of course I would!!! Because… You’re here with me after all!! Kako: I’ve been waiting for a day like this… Where I could have a great time with you by my side!! But… But..
020 Kako: But… I’m terrified….scared that one day you’ll go again… And leave me alone Gacchan… Gaku: Kako-chan, I had a great time today…. Because you’re here with me.
021 Gaku: So there’s nothing to fear!! Because we’re going to go on enjoying ourselves as long as we live!!
022 Gaku: So there’s no need to rush! We’ll take our time together okay? Kako: Yeah… Yeah..!! As an inexperienced couple….! Gaku: Umph! Hahaha… Judgeman: GUILTY!!! Kako: Gah! {Lots of things happened that day, but in the end Kako had a great time.} (Side text- Judgeman showed up!!)

I am NOT doing the 4-koma extras that come in the next issue. They're too wordy, and I'm far too busy. Maybe someday when I have a monkey that translates Gintama for me every week, I'll consider it. (Besides, they really don't add anything to the plot of the series anyway.)
Giga: HEEYAHHH!!!!
(Side text- An explosive smash to the temple!!!)

He was born with an unusual amount of 'Electronic pressure' within his body.
When he's not wearing Aars, his body flares up with Electric energy.
(Handwritten- You're still alive though....are you human?)
Hikari: Hey!
Ya ain't allowed to punch tha ball! That's cheatin'!!
(Handwritten- It ain't allowed!!)
Giga: It can't be helped.
My hand moves faster than the racket, so it LOOKS like it's my first hitting the serve.
Hikari: YER DOIN' THIS ON PURPOSE AINT YA?!
Giga: Hah!!
You might be tough stuff, but lets see you stand up after taking two of thse!!
008
{RISE!!!}
???: 0-8!!
Giga: Too bad, dumbass.
009
Gaku: I get it...
You like breaking up people....
Because you haven't experienced true love for yourself...
But this is the wrong way of achieving it.
Sure this law might seem ridiculous....
Kako: Gacchan....
Gaku: But, there isn't anyone who can Judge, Genuine feelings of affection for a beloved person!!!
010
Kako: Gacchan....
Why are you going so far....?
{For 10 months and years, we've had to endure separation.}
{Our love...}
{Will bend to nobody's rules!!}
{He's have to live without his beloved Kako for ten whole years.}
{There isn't anyone who understands what it is to have someone that you can't hold close, more than him.}
Muko: Geez....
He's such an idot.
Kako: Hm?
011
???: Marunouchi's serve!

He's completely beat up!!
So what the hell could he have done...?!
Giga: What are you playing at.....?
Gaku: You don't know what it is to have feelings for affection for someone you care about?
Your so called self confidence....
Is one ugly lie.
015
Kako: Gacchan!!
Gaku: Pay close attention...
To the power of love...!
???: Point 1-8!!
Marunouchi's serve!!
Giga: A lie?!
What the hell do you know about me?!

Affection...

THE LIES!!?!
016
Girls: WHO IS THAT?!

Giga: I'm tellin ya...
TO KNOCK THAT OFF!!!!
???: 2-8!!
Thugs: That---
Face...!!
Asama-san?!
(Handwritten- Asama-san.)
Gaku: When I was nine, I learned all about makeup and makeovers...
In Hollywood!
Muko: That can't be JUST makeup!!!
Gaku: Even though you know it isn't really him, you can't bring yourself to do it can you?
Back when Kako-chan tried to hit you with her smash,
That person protected you, because he was worried!
018
Gaku: That's when I figured it out.
Giga: Stay out of this Asama!!
Gaku: This Asama person must be his treasured friend.
Giga: Heheheh....
That big lummox is my friend?!
You're funny kid!!
He's just one more victim of me killing some time!!
That's why...
You can just stop...
{Using that face...!!}
Giga: I lost...
Damn..!!
I didn't think there was a person who could stand up to my 'Rise' without getting fried.
Do it.
Nihito: Hey,
Why do you hang out by yourself, destroying relationships....?
I've never seen a guy that's as strong as you before.
Giga: Oh, you're interested in that big guy? It's not a complicated matter or anything....
I just want to see the proof that love and affection actually exist in this world!
Heh! It's just a way to kill time anyway....
(Sfx- Kekekek cacklecacklecackle)
Asama: Having some eel cooked with electricity huh...?

Thugs: No...

Not one bit.
But...
Although I don't understand why he did it...
I get the feeling that's how it should be.
026
Thugs: Don't screw around Giga!!
Do you think you can just LEAVE Nest?
Giga: Yeah, I knew this would happen....
Go ahead.
Thug: Bastard...!

Asama: EVIL CLAW!!!
Giga: Guh!!
Asama: Let's go.
Thugs: ?!
O—Okay Asama-san!
Asama: Hey electric eel....

Asama: It was fun having a meal with you...
That Hitsumabushi hit the spot.
Thug: Are we seriously just going to let him go?
That idiot?!
Asama: I don't need kids....
In my Nest.
(Handwritten- You stink Asama-san!!)
(Handwritten- Really? I didn't notice.)
(Handwritten- Are you crying?)

Hikari: Ya...

Giga: Don't get it twisted ugly!

I JUST WANT TO BE LOOOVED!!
So Gaku, give me more!!

Everyone: He's a pervert!!
{He's a pervert all right.}

FUKUCHI TSUBASA TAKKOKU
12th Confession: Killing Time.
003
Kako: Soooo~
Cuuuuute~~!!
Gaku: You think?
Kako: Yes! You're adorable!!
And it totally fits you!!
Hikari: Big trouble ya'll!!
Kako: Oh! Hi-chan!!
(Handwritten- Good morning!)
Gaku: Ah! Good morning-.
Hikari: TEACHER!!! THERE'S A CHIWAWA MAN IN OUR CLASS!!
Kako: That's Gacchan! Hi-chan!
He's just showing off his Hollywood makeup training!
004
Hikari: Ah almost forgot!! There's trouble ya'll!
Gaku: What's up?
Hikari: TAKE OFF THE MAKEUP!!
They're back again!! The 'Crush busters!!'
They've already busted up three couples in this neighborhood alone!!
Gaku: Crush busters?
Who are they?
Muko: You really ought to take more interest in your surroundings...
The 'Crush Busters' are a bunch of morons who take sick delight in stealing people's girlfriends.
(Handwritten- What?)
Gaku: Stealing....
But how?!
Hikari: That's what would be called 'Pillage ping pong.'
Ya know how ya'll would become mah boyfriend if ya were to lose to me right?
But Kako would have ah chance to steal ya back from me in another match.
That's Pillage ping pong!!
005
Kako: You caaaan't!!
I was Gacchan's Girlfriend first!!
(Handwritten- I'll never EVER forgive you!!)
(Handwritten- Ugh..)
Muko: Yeah, that's how it works pretty much.
Gaku: No worries. If I should lose to anyone else....
I'll bite my tongue off and die immediately.
Muko: YOUR FANATICAL LOVE IS SCARY!!
Gaku: Say, what happens to the girls that these pillagers take anyway?
Muko: Oh yeah.
This is where the 'Nest' team gets really nasty.
See, the rules of the game dictate that if the guy in the relationship should simply give his girl over, the match will end immediately.
Boy: You can just take my girl!!
Just leave me alone, please!!
(Handwritten- No way!!)
Muko: To put it straight, you can save your own skin if you hand over the one you love.
Of course, those guys don't actually go through with it....
But there's no relationship that can recover from something like that....
(Handwritten- Those guys sure have some rotten hobbies...)
006
Gaku: Hi-chan....
You said those guys were in the neighborhood right?
Hikari: Huh?
???: You guys sure look cute together....
Guy: Y...You are....
The 'Crush Busters...'
Nest!!?
Ngh!!
007
Guy: Let's play a game of...
Take back Takkoku, shall we?
Muko: Wait, Marunouchi!!
I'm not sure where you think you're going,
But you should leave those guys alone!!
Nest consists of guys who are serious business!!
They're affiliated with a bunch of hoods in the area....
Which brings their numbers to about 800 people!!
008
Muko: And even if you aren't afraid of being outnumbered,
There's the 'Demon Claw' Asama Nihito!!
And besides him there's Sugawara Giga!!
Put the two of them together, and there's not a single person who stands a chance!!
All you're doing is hastening your trip into hell if you challenge them...
Gaku: Hey! What's that!!
Muko: LISTEN TO ME!!
(Sfx- Kan kan clack clack)
(Sfx- Kakon twak)
Dude: Lethal Strike~~
???: Wait...Please!!
009
???: NOSE BONE CRUSHER!!!
The score is 0-6!!
Sugawara Giga is leading!!
Gaku: Hm?
Giga: Hehehe....
Gaku: That Giga's smash is really strong isn't it?
He should know better really, this game isn't about hurting others!
(Handwritten- He totally broke that guy's face just now...)
Muko: You're too loud!!
010
Muko: In Ping pong, there's a rule known as 'Obstruction'.
Arrow: You can't hit the ball when it has been launched directly from an opponent. You must wait until it has at least hit the table once.
Diagram: Ah!
(Sfx- Kotsuuu tmp)
Other guy: Awesome!
Muko: This is to keep players from screwing around with their opponent's path.
(Under panel: That's why you can't just swing the racket around wildly after your opponent has launched the ball!)
???: Ngh....
Giga: So what'll it be?
Do you want to fight for that woman some more?
???: No—No way....
Girl: Takashi!! You're selling me?!
Takashi: My nose has been busted!! How about a little consideration for me?!
Girl: You creep!! I hope your beloved nose falls off!!
Takashi: N---No way!!
Giga: Heheheh...!!
I give up! You win.
I hate noisy women anyway!
Thugs: Hahahahah~ That's harsh Giga!!
Someone: Really harsh...
011
(Handwritten- You're an idiot Takashi!!)
(Handwritten- Wait up Mirohi!!)
Giga: Hah!
Someone feelin' lucky?!
Cause I'm in the mood to take someone to school!!
Gahahahaahah!!!
Muko: He's a total jerk....
Hikari: Yeah...
Giga: What the hell is love huuuh?! Isn't it just a weak little thread that the weak hang on to?!
I'm just exposin' the truth for you peons, and I ain't even asking for money!!
If anything, you should be thanking me!!
012
Giga: Gahahahahahah!!
(Sfx- Choi choi tug tug)
Giga: Huh? Who are you?!
Muko: Marunouchi?!
Gaku: You're wrong.
There is a definitive strength....
When believing in love!!
013
Hikari: Wha..!!
Kako: Huuuh?!
Thugs: Who is that brat?!
(Handwritten- And what did he say?!)
Giga: What?
Hikari: What'cha goin' on 'bout Gaku?!?
Ya have to forgive 'im!! He's a little bit touched!!
Gaku: You're the same age as me aren't you?
Why would you do things like this?
Kako: Gacchan!!
Giga: Why am I doing things like this?
It's as plain as day ain't it?
014
Giga: Just killing some time!
It's a fun little diversion, where I separate saps from their women!
Moreover, someone's gotta stand up to this 'Takkoku' law!!
If you've got a problem, take it up with this whole stinkin' country!!
015
Kako: Don't you dare....
Muko: Kako!!
Kako: BULLY GACCHAN!!
Giga: Asama!
(Sfx- Gyuuuuruuuuuuu Spinnnnn)
Nihito: It's not good for little ladies to be so noisy....
Okay?
016
Muko: You're kidding me!!!
Kako's smash can cleave stone!!!
Giga: Stay out of this Asama!!
Nihito: You're standing out too much, Giga.
Gaku: Hey,
How about the two of us have a match?
If I win, you have to stop this 'Crush Busters' business.
Thugs: WHAA?!
Thug: Are you stupid or something?!
Giga isn't gonna play a meaningless game with you!!
Let's kill 'im!!
Muko: What the heck is Marunouchi doing?!
Gaku: It's just a game of Ping pong...
Right?
017
(Sfx- Patsu fwap)
Gaku: Wah!
Giga: Okay...
We'll have a match.
If you beat me, the Crush Busters are a thing of the past.
As proof, I'll even let you have my right arm.
Thugs: Giga!!
Giga: But if I kick your little ass,
You're gonna hand over your right arm right?
018
Kako: Hold on Gacchan!!
Your right arm....
You can't agree to play under those conditions!!
Gaku: We'll decide first serve with rock paper scissors!
Okay, I'll serve first.
Kako: Waaah!! They've already started!!
Hikari: He's actually goin' through with that stipulation!!
(Handwritten- Stoooop!!)
Gaku: Hup!
Giga: Urrahaaaaaa!!!
019
Gaku: A normal serve...?
No! It's got Backspin?!?!
Damn!!
Hikari: Look out ahead!!
Gaku: What?
Giga: Lethal Strike~~
020
Giga: NOSE BONE CRUSHER!!!
Kako: GACCHAAAAAN!!!
Thugs: Gyahahaahah!!!
Dumbass! He's gonna get owned!!
(Sfx- Guiii wiiipe)
Giga: Oh?
021
???: First point Sugawara!!
You're not too bad!! Most guys are on the floor after taking my smash!!
Shurryaaah!!!
Gaku: Guh....
Giga: CHEEK BONE CRUSHER!!!
Muko: That Giga....
Using his swings he's forcing Gaku to have to lean in close, and then get his by his blows!! If Gaku backs away, he'll be in violation of the Obstruction rule!!
(Handwritten- But if he gets too close, he'll get his face busted up!!)
{Since the ball does connect, Giga still scores points.}
022
(Sfx- Fraaa clatter)
Giga: It's gotta suck doesn't it? Thanks to Takkoku, no one can have a normal relationship any more!!
But on top of that, you're about to lose your right arm!!
So whatcha gonna do buddy....?!
You know... I love the thrill of watching guys who talk about love sink into a pool of their own despair!!
THAT IS THE BIGGEST TIME KILLER OF THEM ALL!!
Giga: GYAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!
{Takkoku is a love comedy manga.}

{Secretary- Sugiura Kou.}

TAKKOKU FUKUCHI TSUBASA.
003
Nobuo: It's just as I planned.
Tamano's not in her best condition right now,
So it goes without saying that the best thing to do would be to stay home, rest and avoid being targeted by those who want to play Takkoku.
However,
She's here, despite the fact that she has a cold!!
Why is that you ask?
Muko: Kako,
Why would you force yourself to come to school today?
(Handwritten- It doesn't make any sense...)
Kako: Hm? Well....
If I don't come to school, I won't be able to see Gacchan!
(Handwritten- Good morning!)
Kou: But President!
Won't other people take this chance to challenge Kako-chan to Takkoku?
Nobuo: Fool, That's exactly how a criminal would think. Sugiura-kun....
Have a look at that!
004
Guys: Kako-chan!!
Challenge us to Takkoku!!
Muko: You guys are dogs! You know she's too weak to fight back against you!!
Guys: Rules are Rules, Four eyes!!
Muko: Don't call me Four eyes!!!
Guy: I'll win this time for sure!
I'm gonna be Kako's boyfriend!!
{Interval.}
Kako: Resebushooon~~
Resubushon!!
005
Nobuo: Idiots.
There's no point in underestimating Tamano's Ping pong prowess!
(Handwritten- More like, she's gone from being a demon to a monster now...)
Kou: You sure are smart Prez!!
(Handwritten- And awesome too!)
Kou: But President,
How will you beat Kako-chan then?
Nobuo: Hmph!!
Those fools charged in hoping for a fight.
However Tamano is no slouch even with her sickness. There is only one way to defeat her...
And I know exactly what that is.
(Handwritten- Good morning!)
(Handwritten- Good morning.)
Nobuo: This is Tamano's...
With this Data in hand, I have a 100 precent chance of victory against her!!
Soon I will have obtained Victory, and a new girlfriend!!!
Kako: I'm back....
???: Kako, it seems that you got something in the mail.
Kako: Hm?

Kako: Sleeeepy~~

Muko: What's wrong Kako?!
(Handwritten- You've got bags under your eyes!)
Kako: I was up reading....

(Handwritten- You should take better care of yourself with a cold!!
(Handwritten- I just had bread for breakfast...)
(Handwritten- Can't be late...)
(Handwritten- Do you even notice how you're walking?)
(Handwritten- What were you reading anyway?!)
Nobuo: Now My chances of Victory are at 60 percent!

Kako: So gooooood!!!
Hikari: Wha...

Muko: Slow down there champ, or you won't be able to move later.
Nobuo: Data File 2. Tamano loves school lunches!!
Now my chances of victory are at 73 percent!!
Kou: I'm in awe of you President!!
{After school.....}
Kako: Huh? Where's Gacchan...?
Muko: Now that I think about it.....
(Handwritten- Ya sure yer gonna be okay?)
Kako: Hm?
(Handwritten- A letter?)
009
Kako: 'From Gacchan'
'I'll be waiting for you at Seven o' clock tonight at the Urami Mountain shrine!'
'Marunouchi Gaku.'.
Hikari: Hah?

Muko: For real. As if anyone will fall for....
Kako: GACHAAAAAAANNN!!
Muko: WAIT!!!
Crows: Caww!!
Caww!!
010
Kako: Oh nooo....
Hikari: Now ain't this temple some garbage.
Muko: You're a transfer student Hikari, so you wouldn't know.
This temple's known as a Monster house, since people claim monsters appear here.
It's one of this city's three mysteries.
Hikari: Hm?
BOO!
Muko: As long as I've known her, Kako's been bad with the supernatural.
Hikari: Mah Bad Kako.
(Handwritten- Heey~)
Nobuo: Heheh...
Of course I knew that little bit of information too!!
My chances have rocketed up to 85 percent!!
Kou: You're going to be a god before long President!
Now all you need to do is challenge her to a Takkoku match!!
(Handwritten- I learned how to make it in France.)

Weren't ya sick though?
Kako: Yeah, but I'm all better now!
Gaku: It's good you're better! I guess we won't need the Pot au feu after all.
Kako: Gaaah!!
Kou: President!!
Nobuo: Sumiura-kun...
I was mistaken....
Kou: Huh?
Nobuo: There's no way to keep two people who love each other apart without causing them pain....It's because I didn't understand this simple fact that I lost...
Heh..
This match has really opened my eyes Sumiura-kun...
Let's change how we do things.
Kou: Yessir President!

Kako: Hah...

Gaku: And how will you get revenge?
Hikari: Tha 'Judgeman' is tha result of scientists getting' together and makin a robot.
They say it's the best robot in that world.
But Ah know his weakness!
Gaku: Weakness?
005
Hikari: Damn straight!!
That lil bugger only has but a lil bit of powah in 'im!!
He can only run about for 3 hours!!
Mah revenge will be runnin' from him for 3 hours and watchin' him putter out!!

Thingy: I'm sooory!! Please forgive me!!

That's why I didn't know how to hold back.

So when they asked me to come out today, I wanted to do my very best...
But in the end I failed....
018
{In the end....}
{All I can do is apologize for my Judgment!!}
Thingy: ...Huh?

https://mangahelpers.com/t/bomberdrufi/releases/16976[English] [Translation] Takkoku!!! 9 by Bomber D Rufi2009-10-21T03:42:42+00:00Bomber D Rufiadmin@mangahelpers.comThis time a Takkoku?! Will wonders ever cease?!
Hikari: Wha, What was that?!
That uh..
Um...
Say' do ya know what her name is?
I coulda sworn Ah I knew it...
Muko: Don't be stupid. It's Miyamoto.
Hikari: Ya sure it wasn't Miyakura?
Muko: It's Miyamoto!
{Miyazaki.}
Ref: It's Marunouchi's serve!!!
Miyazaki: Lethal strike....
{Mist Passion!!!}
People: It disappeared again!!
Gaku: Ngh!!
{If that's the case...}
{I'll just have to adjust my swing so that my paddle is underneath the ball!!}
003
Miyazaki: Not happening.
Gaku: It rebounded off the net this time?!
Ref: Point 0-2!! Miyazaki is leading!!
Kako: Ga..
Gacchan!!
Gaku: Damn! From my position in front of the table I can't see the angle of her swing!
And if I try to back up to widen my horizon, she rebounds off the net!
{Moreover, it's impossible to get a reading on where the ball is with her technique!!}
???: Whoa! When did Miyazaki learn how to play like that?!
Is that one of those hidden moves I've heard about?
Though isn't she just a physics freak?
004
{Then, what is my reason to exist?}
{Marunouchi-kun is the first person to notice me...!!}
{To be with him...}
{I have to stand firm here!}
{Because of him.....}
Gaku: Ngh!
{I realized I have the right to be here too!!}
Miyazaki: Mist passion!!
Guy: Ah!!
Girl: The ball disappeared again....
Kako: Huh?!
005
Kako: Gacchan!!
Hikari: That Gaku, is he thinkin' of hittin' tha ball before it makes it to tha table....?
So that it won't disappear?
Kako: No Gacchan!!
If you hit the ball before it bounces on the table, that's a point for your opponent!!
(Below panel- This rule is known as obstruction.)
Ref: 0-3!!!
Point 0-9!! Miyazaki is leading!!
Guys: Whoaaa!!
She's awesome!!
Marunouchi's in deep trouble now!!!
006
Guys: Man it's hot in here though..
Yeah I'm sweating now...
Hey somebody closed the windows to the gym!!
You serious?!
Go open 'em then!!
Miyazaki: DONT!!
Guy: Huh?
Miyazaki: Um...
Can't we keep them closed?
I get cold easily....
Guy: S—sure.
Kako: What'll we doooo?!
Gacchan'll lose at this reat Muko-chan!
Muko: He's still got two more points until that happens!!
(Handwritten- So calm down!)
007
Gaku: What did she mean....?
{My Unique weapon is that I'm not unique at all.}
{Because of that, the balls I serve are also unseen by anyone.}
{Although she says that she's unnoticeable...}
{There has to be more to this story than that.}
{I swung the racket around randomly, and still didn't even feel a ball going by....}
{One other thing I noticed is the duration of time....}
{There's a 6 or 7 second lag between when she hits the ball, and when it disappears....}
{Now what's up with that?}
Kako: It's over for all of us isn't it...?!?
Gacchan's going to have another girlfriend at this rate isn't he?!
Muko: Kako!!
Hikari: Don't cha go givin' up until the end!
Sop up them tears, or you won't be able to see tha match!!
Kako: I caan't!~
The tears are filling up my eyes so much that I can't see anything...
Gaku: Thanks Kako-chan.
Kako: Huh?
008
Gaku: Now take a good look....
At the power of love!
Ref: Marunouchi's serve!!
Miyazaki: I've always wanted people to notice my existance...
To sparkle radiantly, and maybe even have an admirer!
But I don't have the same 'confidence' that Kako-chan has....
Gaku: With it lifted like that from the twin pressures hitting it, the ball could fly pretty far up into the air.
016
Muko: But---but if that's the case...
It should hit the table and bounce over you!!
(Handwritten- What's up with that?)
Gaku: Yes, but the Ball's top spin on it's way down curves it's landing.
That's why rather than bouncing high on impact, it screws and goes straight.
Gaku: This also explains the time lag of the sky high ball.
When you put all of this into account...
(Sfx- Shururuuuu spiiiiin)
Gaku: It's easy to counter serve.
017
Ref: Point 1-10!! Marunouchi!!
Miyazaki: Guh...
I was so careful not to be found out....I didn't leave any clues...
How did you find out...?!
Gaku: It's summer now right?
If colder air gets through the window, your game plan gets interrupted big time.
The sky high ball is much more suseptible to wind.
If a big enough gust comes through the window, it would send the ball out of it's tail spin, and I'd be able to see it easily.
That's why you wanted the windows shut.
It's also the real reason why you chose the Gym.
The classrooms have a lower ceiling, and the desks and other furniture would be a problem too right?
Miyazaki: Mist Passion!!
(Sfx- Hyutsu wiff)
Guy: Hey he's right! Now that he's explained everything, I can see the ball when it rockets into the air!
But why couldn't Marunouchi see it earlier?
And how come even though we're all so close, no one noticed the ball shooting upward?
018
Muko: A Mental blind spot huh?
Kako: Huh?
Muko: Think about it. When someone is placed in a 'Ping Pong Confessional' match,
The mentality of the audience is to watch the people and not the ball that day right?
We're all so worked up on seeing who's going to end up with who...
That we spend the whole match looking at the people, and not the ball in play!
If anything, this is the one major pitfall in the law of Takkoku.
Dad: Sachi, are you still practicing?
Miyazaki: Yep!
If it's going to be impossible for me to have close friends to practice with...
Then...
I'm going to have to be good at this to find someone that I love!
For that purpose, I'll practice day in and day out!!!
019
{I had spent a long time trying to find myself...}
{Even going as far as abandoning my identity.}
{But...}
Ref: Point 2-10!!!
Marunouchi's score!
{I guess....}
{I can't be Kako-chan after all...}
Ref: 12 to 10!!!
The winner is Marunouchi Gaku!!!
020
Kako: Gacchaaan!!!
You're amazing Gacchan!!
You were able to see right through that trick!!
Gaku: Thanks to you Kako-chan.
Kako: Huh?
The tears are filling up my eyes so much that I can't see anything...
Gaku: You helped me discover that I needed to stop relying on my eyes so much.
Muko: Huh?
But how would you know the ball's above you if you don't look for it?!
Gaku: By listening to the sounds it makes as it travels through the air.
When I was 8, I learned to sharpen my hearing by searching for bugs in the Amazon! As a result I got 'Fine tuned hearing.'
(Handwritten- In order to find the Nanafushi and Piwahagoromo, I had to use my ears, and not my eyes.)
(Handwritten- There he goes again with the over seas stories...!!)
Guy: Figures as much! It's not such a great move when you know how it works.
I could do something like that in my sleep!!
Here I was thinking that she was doing something awesome, but it turns out that all it was is knocking the ball into the air.
Totally lame~!! (lol)
021
Guy: Worst yet, now that everyone knows how it works,
She'll never find a guy through Takkoku!!
Too bad so sad!!
(Handwritten- hahahahah!!!)
Gaku: And what's so funny?
???: Hahahah.....
Huh?
Gaku: I know that she's here.
To have a swing speed that powerful....
And the ability to curve the ball with it,
Oh and her splendid sense of timing are all amazing.
022
Gaku: Someone who puts that much effort into this game...
Isn't someone who should be made fun of.
Guys: Ngh....
Girls: Sachin!!
Miyazaki!
Miyazaki: My classmates!
Girl: Sachin! Where did you learn something so cool?!
I was so surprised to see the ball disappear!!
Guy: Me...me too!
Girl: Me too!!
Miyazaki: Huh?!
What?!
Gaku: Miyazaki-san.
023
Gaku: To be honest....
I do have the ability to use a certain 'Memory loss' hypnosis on everyone here.
Miyazaki: Hm?
Gaku: It is true that everyone here knows your trick, and that now it'll be impossible to use it in Takkoku.
But...
If I were to use my hypnosis on everyone, they'd have no idea what happened here today.
Miyazaki: No,
That's fine!
It's thanks to that ball..
That I gained something more important!!
24
{A few days later...}
Guy: Wah!!
Ref: 11 to 3!! The winner is Miyazaki Sachi!!
???: What was that just now?!
Awesome!!
Miyazaki: If you want to beat me in Takkoku...
You'll have to be a stronger Physics student!!
Muko: That girl....
Now she's using the Doppler effect in her swings.
Kako: Whoa....
(Handwritten- What's that?)
???: You're great Miyamoto!!
Miyazaki: Ah...yes...
???: Or was it Miyasaka...more like where are you?
Miyazaki: Right here...
???: Hey Miyajima!!
Miyazaki: I'm right here!!
(Handwritten- And my name is Miyazaki!)
Muko: She's still just as barely noticeable as always though....
{At least Miyamura-san has more self confidence now.}
(Handwritten- Miyazaki!!)

Teacher: I'm handing out the results to yesterday's physics quiz you guys--
I should note that the average was 57 points.
Students: Because the test was too hard!!!
(Side text- The overpowering Ping pong love comedy!!)
Teacher: Kimura 53 points.
Kuge, 60 points
Kojima 48 points.
Wow Miyazaki, you're the only one who got 100 points!!
As usual you're an amazing physicist Miyazaki!!
Miyazaki: Thank you...!!
Teacher: Huh? Where are you?
Miyzaki: H—Here!!
Teacher: Hey, do you guys know where Miyazaki is?
Miyazaki: U—Um..
Students: You seen her today?
Miyazaki: Right here.....
Students: Haven't seen her.
Miyazaki: Um....
Teacher: I see.
(Handwritten- Miyazaki's absent huh....)
Miyazaki: I'm right here sir!!
Teacher: Whoa!!
When'd you get here?!
Teacher: If you're here, you've got to say something Miyazaki.
Miyazaki: Okay....
002
(Top black box: Confession 8- Invisible Girl)
(TN- Probably just coincidence, but could that be related to the Number Girl song called the same thing? The AWESOME Number Girl song that I translated?)
Student: Sacchin really doesn't stand out does she....
Yeah, no one ever knows whether she's here or not.
We're always saying 'When did you get here?!' when we DO see her.
Wow, she's super unnoticeable isn't she?
Yeah! Her ability to be noticed has to be below abysmal at best.
(Side text- An unnoticeable girl takes the stage this time....)
(TN- Kanojou wa 'susushii' te....)
FUKUCHI TSUBASA.
003
Hikari: Hypnotism?
Sounds like hogwash.
Kako: I'm for real!! I saw it on TV yesterday!! It was great!!!
Hikari: 'Yall gonna be a kitty cat, and then they start mewlin'. You mean stuff like that yeah?
Ain't nothin but nonsense ta me. (Lol)
Right? Gaku.
Gaku: Would you really like me to hypnotize you into thinking you're a cat?
Hikari: 'Course YOU CANT!!
(Handwritten- Stop yer lyin!!)
Gaku: Okay, have a look at this coin Kako-chan.
(Handwritten- Kay!)
(Handwritten- Ya really gonna do this?!)
Gaku: Now!!!
{Become a Cat!!}
004
Kako: Oog!!
Hikari: Just a dern minute!!
Gaku: I guess the hypnotism I learned in Australia was a failure. Too bad...
Hikari: We ain't ready to have a monkey for our heroine.......
Gaku: Let me get one more shot!! I'm sure I can hypnotize you good this time!! Wanna see?
Hikari: Nah..I'm good.
Ah see ya talkin 'bout all dem countries ya been to Gaku. How many ya been to anyway?
Gaku: Ah...I'd say about 190 of them.
Hikari: O—ONE HUNDRED NINETY?!
(Handwritten- That's the whole world ain't it?!)
Just what does his pappy do....?
Kako: Gaku's so coool!!
Then you've been on an airplane lots of times too right?!
Gaku: Yeah.
Kako: Wooow!! So awesome!!
Muko: What's so great about that?
Kako: Ah! Mu-chan!
(Handwritten- Morning break already?)
005
Muko: An Airplane?
Hmph!
You guys talk as if riding an airplane is a big deal. Talk about human regression....
Hikari: Ya lamo!
Betcha never been on an airplane before have ya?
Muko: S—Shut up!!
Who would want to ride in that flying metal cage anyway?!
Gaku: Ah, Mu-chan, there's something I'd like to say....
Miyazaki: Ah....
Oops....
Students: Miyazaki's really unnoticeable huh.
There's nothing that makes her unique is there?
But she's good at physics isn't she?
That's only because her Dad's a physics professor.
So when you look at it like that, she's got no talent of her own!
(Handwritten- Hahahaahahah)
006
Miyazaki: Ngh!!
Guy: Sorry about that! I didn't see you.....
Miyazaki: Oh---it's my fault....
Guy: ….Huh?
I thought I just ran into someone just now...
Where is she?
(Handwritten- I don't see anyone...)
Guy: Hey, did you hear about D-classes's Miyazaki?
Guy 2: Huh? Who's that?
Guy: She's pretty unremarkable, to a point that she almost doesn't exsist. Guy 2: Seriously?
Guy: Who knows, you might have even run into her recently.
Miyazaki: Ah!
Guy2: Better watch out, she might be listening to you. (lol)
Guy: Ah....
(Handwritten- That sounds really creepy....)
(Handwritten- And then she said----)
(Handwritten- For real?)
007
(Handwritten- Really? She said THAT?)
(Handwritten- I know right?)
Miyazaki: No one can see me at all.....
(Sfx- Gusha gusha dssh dssh)
Miyazaki: They just stroll on by without noticing that I need help..
(Sfx- And then--)
???: You came here again Sachi?
Daddy's told you not to play with him at work...!
Sachi: Teehehehe...
Dad: Sachi, do you think Daddy's work is fun?
(Sfx- Kachi gochi clack clack)
Sachi: Yeah!
'Cause on Earth,
There are lots of things to learn Daddy!
(Sfx- Kachi kochi clack clack)
(Sfx- Kachi kochi clack clack) Sachi: Especially how some turn and spin...!
What makes them tick I wonder?!
008
Sachi: To find out the reason that these things exist, and what they do...
Is a splendid mystery that needs to be solved!! I love it!!
Dad: You're a funny kid, Sachi.
Sachi: Tehehehe....
{Everything has a reason....}
{I've always believed this...}
{But, Is that really true?}
(Sfx- Pota pota drip drip)
{If so, what is the reason for me to be here......?}
009
Miyzaki: Sob....
Sniffle...
{I don't have a reason to exist....!!!}
(Handwritten- Upsy daisy...}
(Handwritten- Here's one!)
(Handwritten- There sure are a lot!)
Gaku: Hm? What's up?
(Handwritten- Why are you making that face?)
010
Miyazaki: Ah...um...
May I ask a weird question.....?
Can you see me? Like right now, you're looking at me right?
Gaku: Huh? Of course?
Miyazaki: Seriously? You can see me? You're talking to me?
Oh! You must be looking for that girl over there!
Gaku: No....I'm talking to you.
Miyazaki: How do I look right now?!
What pose am I doing?!
What Impression am I leaving on you---?!!
Gaku: You have a ribbon in your hair, with a forlock of hair....you're doing the Komanechi pose, and..to be frank, you're a little weird.
(TN- I found a picture of the Komanechi pose...but nothing about what it IS. She is doing it perfectly though.)
{He can see me?!?!}
{This boy can see me perfectly!!!}
Miyazaki: But why?! How come he can see me when no one else could...?
It's impossible! There's no way he can possibly see me!!
011
Hikari: Whatcha doin, talkin' to yerself?
Gaku: Of course not. I'm talking to her!
Hikari: So who is she?
(Handwritten- I don't see nobody.)
Gaku: Um....
What's your name miss?
Miyazaki: Eh? My—N---name?!
Ah, It is Mi...
Miyazaki!!
Wha—What?
I.....
Miyazaki Sachi!!
Why am I acting this way?!
Gaku: Miyazaki-san, here are your papers.
Watch your step okay?
I'm Marunouchi Gaku.
Nice to meet you!
012
(Handwritten- Why ya talking' to yourself.)
(Handwritten- Lets go Gacchan!)
(Handwritten- Okay!)
{Aaaahhhh....}
Gaku: What's your name?
{How many years has it been since I told someone my name...?}
Miyazaki: You can see me? For real?
Gaku: Huh? Of course?
{To think I'd find a person who can see me....}
{Beside my father that is...}
Students: Miyazaki's really unnoticeable huh?
So she really has no talents of her own!!
That's unremarkable and unnociable Sacchin!!
Ahahahahah.....
Miyazaki: If so, what is the reason for me to be here......?
Am I really even here...?
I don't have a reason to exist!
013
Miyazaki: M---
Marunouchi-kun!!
Ref: Now I will explain Takkoku's rules!!!
If the challenger Miyazaki Sachi is able to defeat Marunouchi Gaku, the two of them can date!!!
But If Marunouchi should win, he can decline her advances!!!
014
Students: Huh?
Marunouchi's here, but where's his opponent?
(Handwritten- Miyazaki stood him up?)
Students: Seems like it.
Hmmm?! Wait a sec!!
Look!!!
Wait! She's here!
Now that I look at it, she's there!!
Whaa? What are you talking...
SHE IS THERE!!!
You gotta be kidding! I can actually see her!!
For a minute I thought I saw a ghost!!
Terrifying!!
Gaku: And here I was thinking that we wouldn't be interrupted in the gym room....
Miyazaki: Ah~!! Well I thought the desks and the chairs in the class would be a problem...
{Don't lose Gacchan!!} {Don't give up Gacchan!!}
Kako: Yayyy!!
{Don't lose Gacchan! Never give up Gacchan!!}
Muko: They're multiplying?
Ref: Serve, Marunouchi!!
Gaku: All right! Here goes!
015
Gaku: Yah!
Miyazaki: Hoh!
Gaku: Fwah!!
Miyazaki: Ngh!!
(Sfx- Kako, Kako kako kako tnk tnk tnk tnk)
Muko: Whoa....
It totally looks like a match between two beginners doesn't it....!!
Gaku: Hah!
Miyazaki: Yah!
Hikari: Maybeh it's cause we ain't normal beginnahs anymore.
All though, I wondah why Gaku ain't usin' his fancy smansy Massachusetts university ball configurin' to beat her?
If tha little ribbon girlie thinks that she's gonna beat Gaku the way she is, she's got another thing comin!!
016
(Sfx- Hah hah hah)
Miyazaki: What have I gotten myself into.....
(Sfx- Hah hah)
(Sfx- Doki doki throb throb)
Miyazaki: This is the first time I've even talked to a boy, much less played Takkoku....!!!
Kako: Never ever give up Gacchan!!
(Handwritten- You're the strongest Gacchan!!!)
Miyazaki: I'm....!!!
Hikari: Do this Gaku---!!
Ya ain't got the time to spare!!!
017
Students: Huh?!
Wha....
The Ball.....
It disappeared?!?!
Miyazaki: This technique's name is...
Mist Passion!!!
Kako: Ga---
Gacchan!!!
Miyazaki: My unique weapon is the fact that I am not unique at all.
Because of that...
The serves I use are also unseen to anyone.

Maybe it's the fact that we've been getting two chapters a month (Why do you hate me so much Shogakukan?) But it seems awful quick that we're getting into the heavy stuff. Ueki took a while.....but maybe I should stop comparing the two. Takkoku 007 folks!
Hikari: So you feel real stupid for jumpin' the gun and assumin' Gaku was cheatin'?
Serves ya right dummy!!
Muko: SHUT UP HIKARI!!!
(Side text- The second part of a two chapter rush!! For part one, please head to Page 107!!)
TAKKOKU!!!
Kako: You're so silly Muko! Gacchan would never cheat on me.
Right, Gacchan?
Gaku: Yeah...
Kako: What's wrong?
Gaku: I dunno, my head's been hurting lately...even during classes.
It's probably just a normal migraine though...
Kako: WHAAAAAAT?!?
Kako: What'll we do?! What'll we doooo?! A doctor!! Have you been to a doctor?!?!!
Muko: Calm down!!!

(Black bubbles- The Unprecedented Ping pong Love comedy.)
TAKKOKU!!
(TN- Gaku's got a mighty fine harem building up....)
003
Gaku: Phewww...
My head feels a bit better now.
(Handwritten- Thank you!)
Kako: That's great!! Thank goodness!!
Muko: You're too noisy Kako.
(Handwritten- Just how madly in love are you....)
Gaku: Hm?
(Handwritten- Whats up Hii-chan?)
(Under panel: Hikari----Hii-chan.)
Hikari: I've been fixin' to ask you,
But where'd ya get that X scar on yer forehead?
Did somethin' happen?
Gaku: Oh, This?
Kako: You caaaan't!!!
Hikari: Guahhhh!!!
(Handwritten- Whyy?)
Kako: You can't go asking people about their scars!! It's an unwritten rule somewhere right!!
After all, I haven't even been able to touch it yet!!!
Gaku: Oh, it's really not a big deal...
(Handwritten- O---i....)
004
Gaku: When I was four years old I took a trip to Africa,
I happened upon a flock of Gnu.
(Handwritten- Welcome---)
???: Gnu----?!
Gaku: Yeah. I don't remember the particulars though, All I can remember is that I fell down somewhere. The people that found me said they saw several Gnu footprints nearby, and assumed that they had something to do with it.
(Handwritten- Ooh.)
(Handwritten- That's a Gnu?)
Muko: That's fine and all....
But there's something else I want to know.....
WHO THE HECK ARE YOU, AND WHY HAVE YOU BEEN FOLLOWING US?!?!
Guy: Crap! They saw me!
Was I that obvious?!?
Hikari: A peeper!!
Guy: W, What should I do?! Tell me Metamo-san!!
005
Metamo: You idiot! It's obvious what you should do when you've been found!
You're such a big clutz!!
Guy: I'm sorry Metamo-san!!
You Clutz! Clutzinstien! Clutzinburg!!
Metamo: Ugly,
Otaku,
Four eyes!!
Guy: Stoppit~
Don't make fun of me like that~....
No no, Please do~
Metamo: Run away you fool!!
I'll use my Meta-magic 'Metamorphosis' to turn you invisible!!
Guy: Thanks so much!!
Muko: Before that, how about I use my Meta magic to meta-mangle you...?
006
Guy: G'day. I'm Shuvaltz Gross.
Please call me Shiba.
Hikari: Huh? Just where did ya come from?
Metamo: This loser came from Hamburg Germany.
He decided to come to this country because he's a geek who loves Anime and Manga. So since it's a school break right now, he decided to rush on over.
(Handwritten- Idiot.)
Muko: Yeah, the ventriloquism is creepy...so stop it.
Kako doll: Oh-. Shiba, what kind of Manga do you like?
Muko: YOU STOP IT TOO!!
Shiba: I love action anime the most!!
(Handwritten- Like 'Esoshikan Boy' and 'My neighbor Ebi-san'!!)
Shiba: Japan's comics are even better than the movies in Hollywood!! At least that's my opinion!!
007
Shiba: I decided that I just HAD to come to this country and read up on your wonderful culture! So I'm here studying everything!!
I learned a few things by surfing the Internet,
But the important things in life have to be seen up close and personal, and experienced live!!
Muko: Well then Mr. Culture, would you mind if I asked you why all of your 'studies' seem to focus on Kako?
(Sfx- Gacchan!!)
Shiba: Gah!!!
Muko: Wanna start telling us the truth? You damn four-eyed stalker?!
Shiba: But you'd be considered a four eyes too, wouldn't you?!
{Glasses VS Glasses.}
Shiba: It is true I was following Kako-chan, and for that I'm sorry!!
But I didn't have anything nasty in mind!! Honest!!
I learned of Kako-chan during my studies of Japanese animation....
But...
How do I put this...
008
{Her likeness to the pretty girl detective Mona-tan is so moeeeee!!}
(Handwritten- I've already solved this mystery!)
{WHO GIVES A CRAP ABOUT THAT?!?}
Muko: Quickly! Before there's a second and third crime!!!
Officer!! Come and arrest this criminal!!!
Shiba: Aaagh!! I'm going! I'm going!!!
I get it already. I won't bother Kako-chan anymore...
Sorry for being annoying.....
Muko: Thank god that weirdo is leaving....
009
Shiba: By the way, I heard in this country...
There's a law called 'Takkoku' isn't there...?
A law that states, that if you can defeat a person you like in a Ping pong match, you can date them.....
Muko: So he knows....!!
The last thing we need right now is another opponent.....
Though, I'm sure while he might know the basics, there's no way a foreigner would know all of the rules.
For now, it's better to avoid a big issue by telling a little white lie.
Muko: Oh! You didn't know?!
In order for Foreigners to play Takkoku, they have to register first!
(Handwritten- Idiot!!)
Gaku: Huh? Well, although I was born here, I didn't return to the country until recently....yet I never heard of having to register......
Muko: WE'RE DONE FOR!!!
010
Referee: We will alternate between two serves!!
The winner will be the one who gets to 11 points first!!!
Kako: Gacchan! I'm gonna do my best!
Gaku: You can beat anyone Kako-chan!! You're the best!!
Muko: IT'S YOUR FAULT SHE HAS TO TAKE ON THIS MATCH!!
Shiba: I'm not too familiar with this game....
Since I've never even played Ping-pong before....
But I won't give up....!
Hikari: Why'd ya bring yer sorry face here then?!?
011
(TN- Again with looking cute Muko....maybe this is just her good side....?)
Muko: Well, it's not like Kako'll lose to a guy like him.
He's a little creepy, but I doubt he's much more than a loser stalker.
And since he doesn't even seem to know about Ping-Pong, Kako will have no problem...
Metamo: You idiot!! There's no way you can win against a girl like that!
But I guess being a loser is one of your endearing traits!!
Shiba: Oh Metamo-san....
Muko: KICK HIS ASS KAKO!! THIS GUY'S AN EMBARASSEMENT TO JAPAN!!
{Sasaki-san comes as quickly as she's called....as she's the referee.}
Sasaki: Takokku Begin!!!
(Handwritten- Serve: Shiba!)
Shiba: Hey Metamo-san...
I've got plenty of self confidence.
Shall we take her on together?
Metamo: N—No helping it!
I'll help you out THIS once!!
(Handwritten- The heck is wrong wit him...)
Hikari: Kako! That guys plannin somethin' Ya best be careful!
012
Kako: A weak serve!!
(Handwritten- Allright!)
Kako: Lethal strike----
Zig zag chips!!!
{Please try not to think too deeply about the name.}
Sasaki: 0-1 Tamano!!
Hikari: Ya go Kako!!
(Handwritten- Nice chip!!)
Gaku: Keep it up!!
013
{That's my Kako-chan!!}
Kako: Lethal Strike.....
Kitty Slider-!!
(TN- The SFX for it goes Nyaaaan, which is Japanese for Meoooow.)
Sasaki: 0-2!!
Hikari: Allright!! Show 'em what Japan's numbah one Ping pong girl is made of!!!
Beat that Shiba guy so bad that he runs back home!!
014
Shiba: Listen up Metamo-san....
We're going to keep a good eye on that girl today....
Kako: Here we go!!
Take this!!
Shiba: We might see “something” important....
That we can “use.”
015
{Show me...}
(Handwritten- Lethal Strike....)
{Show it to me...}
{Let me see it!!!}
016
Sasaki: 0-11!!!
The winner is Tamano Kako!!
Kako: I won Gacchan!!!
{With her duty done, Sasaki goes back home.}
Gaku: You're so strong Kako-chan!!
You're Invicible!!
Hikari: Thats it eh? I thought he was up ta somethin' but he's weaker than a bug!!
Muko: Yeah....
But....
017
Muko: It was YOUR fault that we had to go through all of this!! Do you know what could have happened if she lost?!
Do you?!?
Gaku: I'm sowwy.
Shiba: What do you think Metamo-san?
Is she strong?
Metamo: Are you a fool?! Who could return the balls she pitches?!?
Only a freak! A freak!
(Handwritten- Just give up!!)
Shiba: Hmm...
Kako-chan.
Kako: Yes?
Shiba: I'd like to see it....
Your “True' Smash....
018
Kako: Huh?
{Ah...}
{He hit that ball pretty well...}
019
{I can't just stand around!!}
{BIG BANG....}
{CRUSHER!!}
020
Shiba: Gut!
(TN- German for Good.)
021
Kako: Huh?
Hikari: Hm?
What's ta matter Kako?
(Handwritten- Ya starin' pretty hard...)
(Handwritten- It looks like you need some more punishment....!)
Shiba: Did you see it?! I hit it Metamo-san!!
It was great wasn't it! I returned Kako-chan's swing!!
Kako: Huh?
022
Metamo: You fool! What was so great about returning the serve after it's all over?!
You piglet!! It was just a fluke!!
Shiba: Aww don't be like that~
Kako: Yeah...It was just a fluke!
(Handwritten- I was scared for a minute there...)
Kako: For a minute there though, I felt what seemed to be the real him when he sent that serve back...
It was very cold.....
Shiba: You're amazing Kako-chan! Even better than I hoped!
You're super cute, and talented at Ping-Pong!!
Hikari: Yer disgusting!!!
Now get yer sorry butt back to Germany!!!
Shiba: 'Kay...
Bye....
Better make sure that you don't let her get away....Gaku....
024
Gaku: Huh?
Hm?
(Handwritten- He's gone...)
Woman: Welcome back Shiba-sama.
Can we use her?
Shiba: Yep.
I'm a bit surprised...
I would have never thought that this little island would have a girl at her level.
I haven't seen a serve that ferocious since I met you Ura.
I think my hand is numb. Hahaha....
Ura: What of Marunouchi Gaku....?
Shiba: Let him take care of her for the time being.
Gaku's still not worth my time.....
But if he wants to have a match against her, he'll have no choice but to get stronger!!!
Get real strong Gaku....
025
Shiba: It is....
Our FATE after all!!!
Oh yeah Ura!!
Did you go to Akihabara and pick up the whole 'Metamo-san' DVD series for me?
Ura: Yes, and I assure you that they are the limited edition.
Shiba: Excellent!
{From here on in, kiss goodbye to those gentle, normal days....}

6th Confession: Suspicious after school activities. FUKUCHI TSUBASA.
(TN- Rubs eyes This is an artistic bitch slap to those who said Fukuchi can't draw// Myself included.)
002
(Side text- Those after school days....)
Kako: Nnnhh....
I'm gonna study really hard today too!!!
(Side text- Are always full of spirit.)
Muko: Ahhh.....
Kako: Hm? Whats wrong Mu-chan?
Muko: I got my exam back today....
I thought for sure I got 100 points, but it turns out I only got 96.
Kako: Huh?! 96?!? That's amazing!!
003
Kako: I got 5 points.
Muko: BUT YOU JUST SAID YOU'RE GOING TO STUDY HARD TODAY “TOO”!!!
Gaku: Now now, it's no big deal. You can do just fine in public without being a great test taker.
Kako: Yep!
Muko: While we're on the subject, what did YOU get?
Gaku: 120 points I think.
Muko: Wha...HOLD UP!!
How did you get 120 points on a 100 point test?!
Gaku: I forgot the equations on the examination,
So I ended up having to configure a whole new set on the spot.
Muko: By doing that, you just caused the math world to collapse!!!
004
Muko: More importantly Marunouchi,
Have you been practicing Ping pong?!
You don't have the time to dawdle if you want to get strong enough to beat Kako, so you two can date!
You were lucky that Hikari's an idiot! If she weren't it would have been over for you!
Now if you meet someone who's pretty smart AND good at Ping pong, what'll you do?
Gaku: No worries! I've been practicing every day!
I had no idea that Ping-pong was so much fun!
I've only played non physical sports until now...
But I really like Ping pong so far!
Kako: Isn't it great?!
Muko: Marunouchi Gaku....
(Handwritten- So what kinds of things did you see while you were overseas?)
(Handwritten- Lots of things! I especially loved Broadway in America...)
Muko: I still don't get what kind of guy he really is....
005
Muko: He's been gone for ten years with his dad on business...or so he says....
But there's still plenty of him that's wrapped in mystery....
Kako: Oh yeah! Gacchan!
We should totally go to the 'Third district mansion!'
It's the top date spot in this city!
Gaku: Hmm?
I thought I told you?
I have an previous engagement.
Kako: Can I come along with you~?
Gaku: You can't!
Muko: A previous engagement...?
(Handwritten- Well I've got to go for today.)
Muko: And he didn't invite us to come along with him.....
(Handwritten- He even went as far as telling us not to come...)
(Handwritten- Okay....See you later Gacchan...)
Kako: I guess he can't help it.
Well Mu-chan, shall we....
Kako: Huh?
006
Muko: Very Suspicious!!
There's something else he'd rather do than go on a date with Kako?
(Handwritten- Gacchan!!!)
Muko: I know Kako's completely fallen in love with this guy....
But I still have my reservations about him!!
And as Kako's best friend, I have to make sure that Gaku's good enough for her!!
So, following him around like this isn't stalking!!
Gaku: Um excuse me, I think I'm a little lost.... (Handwritten- Where are you going?)
{You just came back from overseas, so what else could you possibly be up to?!}
007
Gaku: I'm looking for this all girls high school.
Muko: ALL GIRLS SCHOOL?!?!
Does he have an older or younger sister?!?
Moreover....
Woman: Ah just go this way, and then this way.
Gaku: Ah! Thanks!
Peroro Papuriko.
(Handwritten- Eh?! Gyahhhh!!)
Muko: WHAT THE HECK IS HE DOING?!
Gaku: Huh? The Popopo tribe taught me that this is how you express your gratitude to people....
Muko: Suspicious...
008
Girl: Hmm...
Gaku: Is anything the matter?
Girl: I lost the earring that my boyfriend gave to me....
Gaku: May I for a second?
Muko: HE'S SNIFFING AROUND!!!!
Can you really use that method to find anything?!?!
Gaku: Here you go.
(Handwritten- Thank you!)
Muko: HE FOUND IT!!!
Gaku: I learned how to search for truffles like this back when I was in Perigord France! I never knew it'd come in handy.
Muko: Suspicious...
009
Kids: Ah! It's Gacchanman!
Gacchaman!!
Muko: Kindergärtners?
Kids: Do that thing again!!
Do it!!
Gaku: Okay.
Kids: Waaai!!!
Muko: YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!?!?
Gaku: I guess that juggling I learned in Canada came in handy too...
(Handwritten- THANKS FOR ALWAYS COMING TO PLAY WITH US!!)
Muko: So Suspicious....
Ah..hahh...
This guy lifted a girl's skirt, and sniffed another's finger....
Isn't he no more than a perverted womanizer...?!
(Handwritten- He even plays with kids a little roughly....)
Gaku: Here we are.
010
Muko: The local all girls school...!!
What could he want here?!
Gaku: Hmm...
Ah! There!
Excuse me! Girl: Hm?
Gaku: You're Aragaki-san right!!
Aragaki: Um...
How may I help you?
Muko: A girl...?
{She sure doesn't look like she could be Marunouchi's older sister....}
Gaku: I'm Marunouichi!
Um...
{So what on earth does he want with her...}
Gaku: Um...I...
Well ever since I first saw you at the train station....
011
Gaku: I instantly took a liking to you.....and I've never felt this way towards anyone in my life!!
Muko: Huh?
Wait...
Gaku: Whenever I think of you Aragaki-san....
My heart leaps out of my chest!!
Aragaki: Eh...um....
Muko: You're kidding right?!
Gaku: I...
I LOVE YOU ARAGAKI-SAN!!!
PLEASE PLAY ME IN A MATCH OF 'TAKKOKU'!!!
Muko: That dog!!
He's been cheating on Kako this whole time?!?
012 Referee: Point 0-8!! Marunouchi is leading!!
Someone: Wow!!
Just who is that boy?!
This match is totally one sided!!
Wait, does that mean that Aragaki-chan is weak?
Muko: Don't you know...
Don't you know how much Kako's been thinking of you these past ten years?!
She's always had faith that you'd come back to her. That's why she made absolutely sure that she didn't lose a single match of Takkoku!
Yet you can turn your back on her so easily...!!!
013
Muko: If Kako found out about this....!!!
Referee: Point! 0-10! Marunouchi match point!!!
{What should I do?!?}
{No matter what I think of, it all ends with Kako being hurt!!}
{What do I do?!?}
Kako: Hm?
Hey Mu-chan!! What are you doing here?
Muko: Kako?!
Ah uh....
Kako: Hm?
What's wrong?
Muko: This is bad!!!
Kako: Hm?
Muko: Wai---
Hold on!!!
014
???: WAIT A SECOND!!!
Muko: Hm?
Guy: Wait....
A minute...
Aragaki: Ko...
Kosaka-kun...!!
Kosaka: Mai-chan...
I can't lose you...!!
I....
015
Kousaka: I....
That is Mai-chan I....!!!
Aragaki: Yes!!!
Muko: Eh?!
(Sfx- Zuuu)
Aragaki: Hah!!
Referee: 1-10!!
2-10!!
3-10!!
4-10!!
Muko: Eh?!
Eh?!
016
Referee: 12 to 10!!
The winner is Aragaki Mai!!
Muko: WHAAA?!
Kako: Gacchan!!
(Handwritten- Ah! Kako-chan! Mu-chan!
Muko: Wat a second!!
What the heck is this?!
(Handwritten- Start talking!!)
Muko: I'm sorry!!
This was all for me....
I asked Marunouchi-kun to set all of this up for me!!
I've always loved Kosaka-kun....
But I never had the courage to challenge him to Takkoku.
017
Aragaki: But then Marunouchi's voice rang out to me...
Gaku: What's wrong?
I see!
Well let's have a little 'act' to test his feelings for you?
After all, it's too early to throw in the towel right?
Muko: Act...?
Aragaki: Yes...
I would act like I'm losing in Takkoku to another guy,
And hopefully Kosaka-kun would come out and tell me his true feelings.
Kosaka: So wait, when you said you'd be playing Takkoku with someone...
{I'm gonna be up against a boy in Takkoku today.}
(Handwritten- What?!)
Aragaki: Yes...
Gaku: How was my acting?
I learned a bit when I went to see Romeo on Broadway, and since then I've been interested in trying myself.
(Handwritten- Romeo?)
Kako: I had to come out and see you Gacchan!!
Gaku: I told you not to though!! This is so embarrassing.
Kako: But I had to!!
(Handwritten under panel: Totally feels like a fool)
018
Kosaka: Mai-chan!! Would you like to...
Have a match of Takkoku....?
Aragaki: Of course!!
(Handwritten- You say that though, but your serves are no good are they?}
{Handwritten- That's not it!!}
Gaku: Thank goodness.
{….Hmph....}
(TN- Wow, check out suddenly really cute Muko.)
{Well, he's not a bad person....}
{But I know for sure he's a strange one.}
Gaku: Oh did the two of you come to see me, Kako-chan?
Kako: No, Mu-chan was here first!
Gaku: Really? But why?
Muko: Ah..well....
{Muko learned a little bit more about Gaku that day....}
(Side text- It was all in Muko's head right? Gaku's a nice guy isn't he? Head to page 209 for one more chapter!!)

(Top circles: FUKUCHI TSUBASA)
Muko?: Dasaizo grew up to be....
The idol Unryuuji Saizooo?!
(Handwritten- This)
TAKKOKU!!! 5th Confession: Beautiful Time.
Girls: Kyaaah!!
Kyahhh!!
Unryuuji: I suppose you would be surprised....
I have been through a few changes since we last met.
Tamano Kako.
You are the luckiest girl in the world.
Kako: Huh?
002
Unryuuji: You will have the honor of having me,
As your boyfriend.
Muko: What?
Hikari: Whaaaaaat?!
Muko: I knew it!!
You're after her again aren't you?!
Unryuuji: Congratulations on that find four-eyes.
Muko: Don't call me Four eyes!!!
Unryuuji: To be honest, I really don't care about Tamano or women of her ilk.
It's just I haven't been able to live down 'that time.'
Muko: Huh?
Unryuuji: You see, ever since I lost that day, my decent into loserdom quikened, and the other children's name calling became that much more harsh.
Kids: You're a loser Dasaizo!!
What do you expect? Loser is in his name!!
(TN- Remember Dasai=Lame, and his name is Saizo. Dasaizo.)
Kids: That's why he's Dasaizo!!
Gyahahah....
Unryuuji: Kids would actually go out of their way to belittle and mock me.
They'd even go as far as flaming me on my blog.
???: You had a blog back then!!?
003
{It pained me.}
{However I had a chance to start over when my father ended up having to transfer to a new city for his job.}
{Day in and day out I trained...}
{So that I could claim revenge against Tamano.}
Unryuuji: Before I knew it the day had come upon me....
I had become...
A pretty boy.
???: It totally feels like he skipped some parts in that story!!!
{When I gazed upon the water's surface I was shocked.}
{Who was this beautiful angel staring back at me?! I asked.}
Unryuuji: Who's this pretty boy?!
Is he an angel?
004
Unryuuji: I couldn't stop looking....
???: This guy's totally full of himself...!!!
Unryuuji: Now I was no longer a filthy pebble...!!
I had finally polished myself into a radiant diamond!!!
After seeing the image of my pure beauty, I forgot about my revenge against Tamano.
And I decided to further purify myself!!
I had to become more beautiful!
{Traveling to and from fabulous estates!}
{'A beauty that no one would ever forget' became the slogan people knew me by!!}
{However something still held me back....}
{If I wanted to become the Beauty king....}
{I had to eliminate any obstacles in the road to royalty.}
???: What the heck is a Beauty king?!?
{One day it came to me.}
{A female Ping pong savant has appeared!!}
{Today and Sunday, we will have a sit down interview with the up and coming Takkoku star Kako-chan!}
005
Reporter: An ace in the hole today too! Huh, Kako-chan?
Kako: Is this show broadcast worldwide?! Is it?!
Reporter: Huh? Worldwide? That's a bit...
Kako: Gacchan~!!
(Handwritten- Look! It's me!)
{It all came back to me.}
{If I'm to obtain a flawless record, I have to have you Tamano Kako!!}
Unryuuji: If the two of us were a couple, we'd bathe in Japan's praises!!!
We'd be a power couple! Beauty and brawn!! Imagine the beautiful laws we could enact once we become royalty!!!
(First poster- A power couple is born!!)
(Second- Unryuuji and Tamano!!!)
(Third- The most skilled Ping pong cut off)
Unryuuji: I am a diamond!!
And if I am to gain a luster that would put the sun to shame....
I will need a light brighter than it!! That is where YOU come in Tamano Kako!!
Now you will go out with me at once!!
Imagine what you could have if you accept!!! Hahahahahaha!!!
006
Kako: Huh?
Sorry, I can't.....
Unryuuji: I'm afraid I must have miss heard you!
Let's try this again, you will go out---
Kako: No thanks.
Unryuuji: Gaaaah!!!
Y-You're kidding right?! I'm not Dasaizo anymore!!
I'm the top idol from Shaiz Unryuuji Saizo!!!
Why won't you....
Hm?
Who are you?!
Kako: This is Gacchan, my Fiancée.
Gaku: I'm Marunouchi.
Saizo: F-f-f-f-Fianceeeeeee?!!?
Kako: If i'm going to be Gacchan's wife,
I can't go around dating other men.
Muko: Aren't you kind of rushing things....?
007
Unryuuji: You can't do this!! Without you I can't reach my maximum radiance!!
Kako: I can't accept, I've already been spoken for.
Unryuuji: Ngh!!
(TN- ...Elephants and Zebras?....Why?)
Unryuuji: I didn't plan for this...!!
To think that she could reject me, and all of my glory...
There's no way that I can possibly challenge Tamano to a Takkoku match and beat her...
I wouldn't stand a chance!!!
She is after all, Japan's number one Ping pong player!!
To think that she'd reject the sun's radiance for a commoner like this guy....!!
(Handwritten- Are you okay?)
Unryuuji: If that's the case.....
Marunouchi, how about you?
Could you defeat me in a Ping pong match?
Gaku: Huh?
Unryuuji: If you are defeated by me, you cannot see Tamano ever again.
Girls: Wha?!
Unryuuji: However if you should manage to defeat me....
008
Unryuuji: I will tell you....
Tamano Kako's big secret from elementary school!!!
Gaku: I have no choice but to accept!!!
Muko: He's actually going to do this?!?
009
Muko: Are you seriously going to do this?! He's amazingly good at Ping Pong!!
He's like a Ping pong demon you know?!
Kako: That's right! Moreover, what happened to me in elementary school isn't even that serious...
Gaku: That's not true..
Kako: Huh?
Referee: Takkoku start!!
{Hmph.}
{That guy doesn't understand my true strength,}
{And if I use my 'lethal strike'-----}
{There's no way I'll lose this match!!!}
Girls: Kyahhhhh!!!
(Handwritten- Even his serves are hot!!!)
Gaku: Ngh!
010
Girls: GYAHHHHHHH!!!!
GYAHHHHHHH!!!
(TN- GYAHHHHHHHH!!)
011
Gaku: Uh....
Ah!!!
Kako: Wh...
Whaaat?!
{What just happened...?!?}
Referee: 1-0!! Point Unryuuji!!!
Girls: Kyahhhhh!!!!
Unryuuji: My beauty is a void. A void that sucks in anyone who gazes into it.
This is my lethal strike....
(Handwritten- Gotta put 'em back on...)
012
Unryuuji: Beauty
Hour!!!
...Well...
It is kind of weird to see that...
But although he's creepy,
It'd be nice to see more!!!
Referee: Serve! Unryuuji!!!
Gaku: Fine then!!
I won't be fooled by that move again.....
All I need to do is pay attention to the direction of the 'ball'. I don't need to look at him to win this match!!
Unryuuji: Its....
BEAUTY TIME!!
Gaku: Focus on the ball, focus on the ball...
Focus on the....
013
Gaku: Gah!!
{No...No way..!!!}
Referee: 2-0!!!
Unryuuji: What's wrong?
Why has your hand stopped moving?!
Referee: 3-0!!
4-0!!
5-0!!
014
(Sfx- Hah hah hah...)
Referee: Point 8-0!!
Unryuuji!!
Kako: Gacchan!!
Gacchan!!
Unryuuji: Is this all you've got? And here I was thinking that you were decent at this game...
Your stamina is pitiful.
(Handwritten- This is your biggest weakness.)
(Sfx- Hah hah hah)
Hikari: Ya stupid or somethin' Gaku?! I 'pose his fans might be havin' a hoot at seein' his drawers, but ain't ya got no shame?!?
(Handwritten- Besides, ain't it creepy to see him strip like that?!)
Gaku: Its the eyes....
Hikari: Huh?
Gaku: His body has nothing to do with this skill... But...
The eyes say it all! Its his eyes doing the talking!!
015
Muko: eyes...!!
I think I get it!!
Hikari: Huh?
Muko: I read a book about this before....
People unconciously are drawn to the eyes of their friends and foes. It's a trait that none of us can shake..!!
This is because when you're a baby, you communicate with others through eye contact, since speech isn't possible.
Che!! This idol's a phony!
He's found a way to strengthen his eye contact, so that other people have no choice but to look at him!!
I didn't notice it back when we were kids because of his dorky glasses...
But Unryuuji's secret and greatest weapon is his “powerful glance”!!
Unryuuji: Correct.
There isn't a single person who can avoid my glance!
Hikari: So why do ya take off ya pants then?!
Unryuuji: 'Cause I feel like it.
Gaku: A Power glance....
Kako: Gacchan!!!
016
Kako: Its already too late for you to come back!!
Just stop this match!!
I'm telling you, that what happened in the past isn't important!
Gaku: ...Not true.
I want to know everything you did....
These long ten years while we were separated....
No matter how trivial they are.
Now watch closely...
At the power of love....
Kako: Huh?
Referee: Serve! Unryuuji!!!
Unryuuji: Hmph!!
017
Unryuuji: It doesn't matter WHO you are! There isn't a single person who can avert their gaze when I appeaer!!!
And with this Tamano Kako is....
My property!!!
Game over!!!
Look into my eyes....
Beauty....
Now!!!
Time!!!!
018
Ball: You'll be currrsed~~
Unryuuji: eh?
Ungh!!
What the....
His eyes weren't affected....
Gaku: You lost something...
019
Gaku: Let me return it.
Referee: 8-1!!
{Wha...What was that just now?!}
{An illusion?!}
{A ghost?!}
Unryuuji: Just my imagination!!
It doesn't matter! I won't pay it any mind!!!
Ball: Your body will be cursed...!!!
Unryuuji: That seriously bugs me!!!
020
Referee: 8 to 11!!!
Unryuuji: aah...
Referee: Winner, Marunouchi Gaku!!
Kako: Gacchaaaan!!!
Muko: Hold on!!
You were able to predict and stop his movements all of a sudden!! What did you do?!
Gaku: Didn't you notice? He stopped looking at me.
His little trick only works if he makes eye contact with his opponent.
I didn't tell you? When I was in Los Vegas, I learned ventriloquism!
Ball(Handwritten- Yay!)
021
Muko: Ventriloquism?!?!
(Handwritten- What's that?!)
Gaku: YES IT IS.
Kako: Ventriloquism....?
Ah!!
So my doll talking this morning was...!!!
{Wake up Kakosuke!!}
Gaku: Heheh...
Surprised?
Unryuuji: Geh...
I thought I had been having auditory hallucinations because of working too hard....
You're called Marunouchi right....
I'll accept my defeat for today!!!
But next time we meet, I will defeat you!!
Gaku: Yeah, whatever.

(Top right- Confession 4: First time Takkoku.)
(Side text- Asleep or Awake, she wants to be with him....)
Kako: Gacchan....
Munyah....
(TN- It's so weird to see Fukuchi give us blatant fanservice, when he didn't for either of the Ueki series..)
(Orange block- Now out in stores!! SSC “The Law of Ueki” All 16 volumes, and SSC 'The Law of Ueki Plus' all 5 volumes.
TAKKOKU!!

Kako: Mnn?
Kako: Yaaaaawn.
???: Marunouchi's here for you!!
Kako: Whaat?! Gacchan's here?!
(Side text- You can read this manga on Club sunday! Enjoy!)
???: That's right! So get ready quickly Kakosuke!!
You'll be late for school!
Be sure to brush your teeth!!
And wash your face!!
Try not to get the two of them confused okay?!
(Handwritten- You always look so young ma'am!)
(Handwritten- Oh my Gaku-chan! I'm only 34 you know?)
(TN- Young....?)
Kako: Good morning Gacchan!!!
004
(Handwritten- You're so slow Kako!)
Gaku: Good morning Kako-chan!
(Handwritten- Nice to see that you're awake!)
Kako: Sorry about that Gacchan!
Gaku: It's fine, I wasn't waiting long. Your skin is just as radiant as usual today.
(Sfx- Puni puni tug tug)
Kako: Teheehee...
Mom: Um....

(Sfx- Tatatatatata tmptmptmptmp)

(Handwritten- Gacchan, are you okay?!?)
(Handwritten- It's not good to forget such things.)
(Handwritten- We're off to school!)
(Handwritten- Okay! Take care!)
{Ten years ago....}
{A rule was enacted. This rule states that in order to offically date a person that you have fallen in love with, you must first beat them in a match of ping pong.}
{This rule is called “Takkoku”,}
{And it is enforced all over Japan.}
{However Marunouichi Gaku who has just returned to the country,}
{Had not heard of this rule and it's consequences.}
(Handwritten- Ah! This morning, my teddy bear was talking to me!)
(Handwritten- Wow! Sounds awesome!!)
{However he soon found that his path to love would be blocked by his inability to win, and the penalty that came with it.}
006
Kako: SENTIMENTAL MENCHIKATSU!!!!
(TN- Menchikatsu is ground beef or pork coated with flour and then deep fried.)
(Sfx- Ungahhhhh!!)
Referee: Winner! Tamano Kako!!!
(Handwritten- Gacchan!!!)
Muko: I see...
You got your behind handed to you by Kako again huh?
Gaku: Yep....
Kako: I'm sorry Gacchan! My hand keeps slipping!!!
Muko: It's not your fault Kako-chan.
Hikari: It's cause Gaku's a newbie yanno, and he just got dragged inta this game...
Ya gonna have a tough time keepin' ya promise to her like this.
(Sfx- A childhood one at that....)
007
Gaku: Siiighh...
I train day in and day out at home.
But it doesn't seem to do any good.
Muko: Of course it won't do you any good.
You're up against Kako, who's Japan's number one Ping pong player!
Hikari: Ya should know that dere ain't no way for a little ant to beat a dragon!
Muko: Funny you should say that, since you lost to this ant.
Hikari: What'd ya say?!?!
Gaku: Kako-chan.
Kako: Hm?
Gaku: How'd you get so good at Takkoku anyway?
Hikari: Yanno, I've been itchin to hear 'bout that too!
Ya gotta know some hints that'll make me even bettah at the game.
Kako: Huuuh?!
(Handwritten- But....)
008
Muko: Do you want to tell them?
I could...since I know and all...
But honestly, it's rather normal and boring....
(Handwritten- Mu-chan...)
Kako: Since you want to know, I could tell you, but where to start....
Ah yeah-----
{Ten years ago}
{It was a little bit after I had said goodbye to Gacchan.}
News guy: Breaking news!!
An unbelievable bill was just passed!!!
A law that will send ripples all through Japan! This law is known as the 'Ping pong confessional!!'
And it has passed with overwhelming support!!
(Bottom text- Live in front of congress's meeting)
Reporters: Ah! Prime minister! A word please!!
Prime minister!!
Prime minister: This is one very important step for Japan to maintain it's pride.
No matter the dangers or threats, we'll never avert our eyes from the road ahead...
Reporter: SHUT YOUF FACE IDIOT MINISTER!!
'The hell you thinking with this plan?!
Prime minister: Don't call me an idiot!!
(Handwritten- I AM the prime minister you know!!!)
Reporter: Okay, how about 'stashe?!
Prime minister: I like that!
(Handwritten- Gabin *Poit!)
Kako: Mama, what's 'Ping pong'?
010
Mom: It's a game like Tennis, but played over a small table.
(Handwritten- Is it like the ding dong from the door?)
Kako: Ooh.
Dad?: 'Takkoku' will be played by children that are ten to eighteen years old.
Kako, your tenth birthday is coming soon.
Would you like me to teach you how to play Ping pong now?
Kako: Don't worry about it Papa!
I like Gacchan, and I don't think that'll ever change!
I don't have interest in any other guys, so It'll be no problem for me!!
(Handwritten- That's the truth, and I'll never go back on it!)
Hikari: I've nevah heard of a four year old talkin' like that...
Kako: Now that I think of it, everyone was taking it up around the time...
Even Mu-chan was playing!
Muko: Only cause my parents MADE me...
{And then, the morning of my tenth birthday.}
Mail man: Special delivery.
Kako: I got it!
011
Kako: What's this?
Mom: Oh! That's a Ping pong racket!
Starting from today, you'll be participating in Takkoku too!
(Handwritten- Though they sent it in a really nice box! Don't lose that~)
Kako: Hmm.
Kako: Okay! I'll take care of it for now,
But I'm not going to use it!!
(Handwritten- I'm off to school!!!)
(Handwritten- Good morning!)
{But then....}
Boys: Kako-chan....
Duel me in a match of Takkoku!!!
{In front of the school,}
{At least 20 boys were lined up, and ready to take me on.}
(Sfx- Gabiin poiittt)
012
Hikari: Whoaa! How could you do that!!
Ya low down varmit!!
Do ya really like Gaku?! If so how'd ya get that many people to fall for ya?!
Ya serious?! 20?!!?
Kako: Yeah, I was really freaking out about it too....
Gaku: So what did you do then?!
Muko: Of course this was a huge problem. Kako had never even picked up a Ping pong racket before,
And now she had several guys after her, with one Ping pong match deciding everything.
{It didn't help matters that her first opponent was less than desirable!}
???: I...
I want to challenge you to a Takkoku match...!
{I don't remember where this kid's nick name came from, but everyone called him 'Dasaizo',}
{He was a big kid with even bigger glasses, and a look on his face that screamed insomnia.}
{The best way to describe him was 'utterly lame.'....
(Handwritten- Not only did he look utterly lame, but he had an utterly lame collection of t-shirts...}
Gaku: What's wrong with that?
Muko: I guess a newbie that's so laid back wouldn't understand....
013
{It just so happened,}
{That as lame as he was, he had a real talent for Ping pong.}
{It goes without saying that the game was severely one sided.}
{I had to close my eyes, it was so bad.}
Muko: Everyone thought that Kako was gonna lose in her debut match....
But then...!!
Announcer: Dasaizo only needs one more point to win the match!!
(TN- AH! I get his name now! Dasai= Lame. Dasaizo= Lamezo.)
???: Kako-chan!!!
(Sfx- Hah hah hah)
{I'm gonna lose!?}
{It's over?!}
Kako: No! I can't!!
I promised Gacchan I wouldn't!!!
014
{I know that I'll meet Gacchan again!! So until that day....}
{I absolutely cannot lose...!!}
{And after that, the match shifted into Kako's favor.}
015
{And she was able to rise from a complete defeat, clenching victory.}
(Sfx- Hah hah hah)
(Sfx- Jyuruuu visssssh)
Kako: Huh?
{It was at that moment that Kako realized that deep with her she had the talent to become a Ping pong prodigy.}
Muko: After that match, she just kept shredding through her competition, and getting crazy strong.
In brief, it's all because she made that promise to you that she's able to maintain the title of best in Japan.
Kako: Ahehehehe~
Kako: Sorry, Gacchan!
That's all my story is! I don't have any real advice to give you!
I just kept getting stronger without even realizing that I was doing it....
016
Gaku: Wow....
Kako: Whoaaa?!?
(Handwritten- His face is so close!!!)
Gaku: You're really something Kako-chan!!
So you started out a newbie at Ping pong just like I am...
And now because you excel under pressure, you're one of the best!!!
Kako: Uwaaaah.....
It---It's not like that!! I eventually had to take lessons from a Ping pong tutor, and he taught me lots of stuff!!
I'm couldn't have done it on my own!!
Gaku: Amazing! You're truly amazing Kako-chan!!
Kako: Uwahh!!
(Handwritten- Just what is this~)
Muko: Seems like somethings going on....
(Handwritten- I wonder what?)
017
Muko: Did something happen?
Girl: You don't know?!
'Shaiz' leader Unryuuji-kun came to our school!!!
Muko: Wha?
Girls: Don't push!!
Unryuuji-sama!!!
Unryuuji: Oh thank you so much everyone!
I'm Unryuuji-kun from Shaiz!!!!
Kako: Oh wow, It's him.
018
Girls: Unryuuji-kun!! Let's Takkoku together!!
No! Choose me! I want to Takkoku with you!
(TN- It sounds so dirty in this context~)
Unryuuji: Heheh, Try not to make a fuss.
I would love to go to war with you ladies, but I came here as a man on a mission.
What you ask-----!!!?
That's why.
Girls: WHAAT?!
(Handwritten- What does that even mean?!)
019
Muko: Why did an Idol come to our school?
(Handwritten- More like, was there a reason to even come to school today...?}
Hikari: Ah ain't too good with them model sorts.
Gaku: Say,
What is this 'Shaiz' thing anyway?
Muko: Huh? You are Japanese right? You should know them....
{Handwritten- He really did just come back huh...}
Muko: Shaiz is Japan's number one idol unit.
Unryuuji there is their leader.
Hikari: He's good at everything yall.
That includes sports, like Ping pong.
Muko: Ooooh----
020
Hikari: Yanno what I heard? That he's already got some lucky gal in mind.
The rumors are he took up Ping pong just to beat her.
???: Oh? And who are we talking about?
Hikari: Don't be stupid...of course we're talkin' bout you....
Unryuuji!!!
(Handwritten- When'd ya get here!!!)
(Sfx- Zuiii shiff)
(Sfx- Zattu Swift)
Unyuuji: It's been a long time since we met Tamano Kako.
Kako: Huh:? But I don't know anyone who's famous....
Unryuuji: Hmph. Can you gaze upon this and still claim you don't remember?
Kako: Ah!?
(Handwritten- Pervert?!)
Todoriki: Huh?!
021
Muko: That injury looks like it was caused by a ball...!!
No way...are you.....
Unryuuji: I'm Unryuuji Saizo.
Reporting for duty!
(Handwritten- Just kidding!)
Muko: Dasaizo?!
Unryuuji: Now I have returned Tamano Kako.
And I will be going steady with you this time!!

I'm so glad to see scantlations are appearing really quickly for this, as it's rather entertaining. I just realized that it's two genres that I could really care less about too. (Sports and Romance) But Fukuchi's weird writing and well angled art keep drawing me in! I hope you'll enjoy it too ^_^.
(Top black box- 3rd Confession: POWER OF LOVE)

The Osaka girl with no equal?!
Guy2: Holy crap!! It's Really Doujima Hikari?!!?
Guy: Heh, That Marunouchi chump may have been around the world and back,
But he's still a “Ping pong' newbie isn't he?
(Handwritten- AND he's up against Doujima....)
Big dude: Yep! It's game over for him!

Who does he reckon he's messin' with!!!
If that's the way yah want it...
Lemmie fix you another servin'!!
004
Hikari: Lethal Strike!!!
TAKOYAKI BOMBER!!!
(TN- Takoyaki is octopus dumplings....and that's a mouthful, so I'm sticking with Takoyaki.)
Kids: Takoyaki Bomber?!
What's that?!

Hey, Look!!!
005
Kid: The ball...
Take a close look at it....
It's piping hot....
Just like Takoyaki-!!
Gaku: Nnph!!

(Sfx- Gyuuuuuruuuu ssssssizzzzle)
Gaku: Ah...
006
Gaku: It's hot...
Really hot!!!
Kako: Aughhh!!!
Hikari: Hows that?! Mah ball spins so fast through the air that it gets red hot as it flies through the air and collects friction.!!
{Super fast spin}
{Combined with the friction in the air,}
{High temperature ball.}
Hikari: And that's mah 'Takoyaki Bomber'!!!
(Handwritten- And yah, It does make the ball look like Takoyaki too!)
Gaku: Damn! But I'm not backing down!!
Bring it on!!!
Hikari: Takoyaki Bomber!!!
Gaku: Hooot!!
Kako: DEJA VU!!!
007
Muko: Kako, don't you have any advice for him?!
Maybe you could tell him a way to read the movements of his opponent's swing!!!
Kako: Gacchan! You have to calm yourself!!
Take a good look at the ball!!
Gaku: Huh?
At the ball....?
There are 3 stars...
Kako: Ah! That's the mark of the official ball used for the Takkoku matches....
Muko: YOU CALL THAT ADVICE?!?!
Hikari: Ya kiddin'....
He really is just a newbie....?
Ah Ain't gonna go easy none though....
'Cause this is...
008
Hikari: Mah Style~!!
Gaku: Guh!!
Hikari: Takoyaki.....
Bomber!!!
Bomber!!!
Bomber!!!
009
Guy: It's....It's no good...
There's no way he can win against this raw strength...
Hikari: Bomber!!!
Guy: Yeah...
To be straight up, I wanted to see Marunouchi take a ball to the face because he was getting to sweet with Kako-chan...
But this is too harsh, even for him....
Kako: Gacchan!!!
Gacchan!!
Gaku: Ungh!!
Almost there....
Aahg...
010
Announcer: Point 0-10!!
Doujima's Match point!!!
Only one score left!!!
Gaku: Hah...
Hah...
Hah...
Kako: Gacchan!!!
Gacchaaaan!!!!
Muko: Calm down, Kako!!!
Kako: Oh no...What should I do...?
At this rate Gacchan will...
That girl really will take him away....!!!
(Handwritten- Yay!!)
Gaku: That's it...
Now that I think of it...there's THAT possibility...
011
Hikari: Hahahaah!! How's that? Ah'm gonna win this fer sure now!!
Ya'll best be a nice romantic date!!! Ga....Ga...
Gacchan.
Kako: You can't do that!! Only I can call him Gacchan!!!
(Handwritten- AH!!)
Hikari: A-A-A-A-Ah actually said it....!!!
(Handwritten- Am Ah stupid?!)
Gaku: It's going to be fine Kako-chan.
You know...
I've thought endlessly about you over these last 10 years.
012
Gaku: For days months and years I've only thought of coming back home to be with you.
While I still don't know much about Takkoku....
Our love....
Will never bow to a law like that!!!
013
Hikari: Haha! Ya'll touched in tha head or somthin'?! I'm stronger than ya!
And Ah only need one more point...!!!
Gaku: It has nothing to do with strength!!!
Hikari: Ngh?!
Gaku: Watch closely....
At the power of love...!!!
(TN- That was really hard for me to type...being the person that I am.)
014
Hikari: It's over now!!
{Takoyaki BOMBER!!!}
Gaku: The course is 37 cm to the right!!!
The angle slants at about 31 degrees!!!
{Right here!!}
015
Hikari: Wha....
He sent it back...?!!?
016
Hikari: Ya bum!!!
Don't matter none what ya do!!!
Gaku: The course is a straight on 42 degree angle....
Kako: Awesome! Totally Awesome!!
But how Gacchan?!
Gaku: All I'm doing is reading the 'velocity' of the ball and it's course. Because of her habit of adding a 'spin' to her strikes...it's easy to plan ahead.
It's a piece of cake now that I see it.
017
Hikari: Re—Readin' it?!
How come yah can do somethin' like that!!!
Gaku: I've got my life overseas to thank for this little trick.
When I was 8 years old, I spent a little bit of time in Massachusetts University, learning about motion and physics.
Guys: Whoa!! Look at him go! Before Doujima was owning him...
But Marunouchi's actually keeping her at bay!!
Do you think that....
He might just win?!!?
018
Hikari: Hmph. Sorry ta' disappoint ya....
But you ain't winnin' nuttin' with that racket.
Girl: Wha...
The racket's MELTING?!
{Hows that?! Mah ball spins so fast through the air that it gets red hot as it flies through the air and collects friction.!!}
{And that's mah 'Takoyaki Bomber'!!!}
Kako: Ah...
019
Hikari: If Ah send one more ball at ya burnt up racket, it'll drill a hole clean through it!!!
Tain't nothin that can save you now!!
Muko: Referee!!
He has to change Rackets!!!
Referee: During a Takkoku match, changing rackets is strictly prohibited!!
Muko: You're kidding..!!
Hikari: Ya'll doomed now! Accept your fate! Marunouchi Gaku!!!
{Gacchan!!!}
020
Gaku: If the Takoyaki's too hot....
(Sfx- Suuuuuu Huufffff)
Hikari: Wha...?
{You gotta blow on it to cool it down!!!}
021
???: Look!!!
The hot Takoyaki ball....
It's cooling down!!!
023
{Ta' heck was that.....!!!}
Kako: Cool....
Totally Awesome!!!
Gaku: I was a Venetian Glass maker back when I was six years old....
And from that experience I gained super lung capacity!!!
Referee: Marunouchi's point! The score is 1-10!!
Gaku: Bring it on!! I'm ready!!
{Ya kiddin' right....}
{Mah Takoyaki Bomber was...}
Hikari: This aint'....
Possible!!!

Unless you beat them in a game!!!
So where the hell is the Judgeman?!?!
That's considered 'touching' isn't it?!?!
(Handwritten- So cool....)
Guy: Yep, though the way she's holding those chopsticks is kind of weird...
More importantly though, is the judgeman losing his edge....?
Wait....

Gaku: It was a little while ago, but I made a venetian class sculpture of you too!
(Handwritten- Here!)
Kako: Wow! How..Venetian!!
Oh yeah, while were talking about that....
(Sfx- Don bump)
Gaku: Ah...
Kako: Ahaah, whoopsie!
Both: Ah...
Gaku: Kako-chan....
Kako: Yes....?
008
Judgeman: GUILTY!!!!
Gaku: NBGHA!!!
(Handwritten- The Judgeman!!!)
Kako: Gacchan! Are you okay?!
Gaku: Yeah...
So he kicks too.....
What's wrong?
Kako: It's saddening....
009
Kako: I finally get to see you again after 10 years....
But I can't even touch you, Gacchan......
I can't bear this sadness.....
Muko: Kako....I understand that your hurting because of your feelings,
But this is pointless.
Kako: Mu-chan...
Muko: It's because of the 'Takkoku' rule yanno?
Kako, you're Japan's number one Ping pong player,
And Unfortunately, unless this Ping pong newbie can get his act together, this is what'll keep happening.
If this keeps up, your budding relationship won't go anywhere. Kako: Hmmmmmph!!!
Muko: Her face is huge....
010
Gaku: Kako-chan,
Kako: Ngh?
Gaku: It'll be fine!!!
After all, I did say that I'd do whatever it takes to become stronger than you!
Kako: Sh...
Shweeeet......
(Handwritten- He's so sweet he glows.....)
Muko: HOW?!
You talk as if it'll be easy....
But you're going to need the power of all the gods and then some to win you know.
011
Gaku: I won't know till I try right?
I lost to Kako-chan three days ago.....
And since then, I've been undergoing a 'Secret training regime'!
So how's that?
I won't go down so easy today.
012
(TN- I love you Fukuchi.)
Announcer: Marunouchi Gaku is no longer able to continue!!!
The winner is Tamano Kako!!!
Kako: Whaaa?!
Muko: DID YOU REALLY DO ANYTHING?!? Gaku: That's weird...
I read all of the Ping pong books I could over the last three days....
Muko: IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL TRAINING?!?!
{After school....}
Kako: What?!
Gacchan, your house is close to mine?!
Gaku: Yeah.
013
Gaku: Let's head home together Kako-chan.
Kako: 'Kay!
Lucky!!
(Handwritten- I'm here too you know....)
Gaku: I'm sorry that I sucked again today.....
Kako: Why are you apologizing Gacchan?! You didn't do anything wrong!!
(Handwritten- It's all because I'm too freakishly strong!!)
Kako: Take your time learning Takkoku okay?
No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you!
Gaku: Kako-chan....
That's right...
Kako-chan's pretty strong, so I guess I don't need to worry about other guys taking you away...
So in the meantime, I'll just work harder on becoming better!
???: Found ya!!
014
Girl Marunouchi Gaku!!!
Gaku: Huh? Oh yeah! I met you at the airport!
Why are you here?
More like, how do you know my name?
Girl: Gahahahahah!! I'm a hard workin' girl yanno!

017
(Top text- Second chapter of a new serialization!!! Takkoku!!! 50 pages in total!!)
Kako: Mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-Mu-chan?
Wha----whaaa---t is this?
{In a panic.}
Muko: From the first impression he gave off, I didn't Marunouchi would be this lucky,
I mean, it's impossible right? For this guy.....
(Handwritten- This.)
Kako: Eh?
Muko: Marunouchi....
To think that a second girl would want to challenge you to Takkoku is incredible....
Kako: Th-then...
If Gacchan should lose to this girl.....
Hikari: Gaku would be mah boyfriend.
Kako: GHAH!!!!
{Kako takes 1000 damage points.}
018
Announcer: Let me explain the rules of Takkoku!!!
If the challenger Doujima Hikari manages to win this match,
She and Marunouchi Gaku would be coupled up immediately!!
Conversely, if Gaku should win, this rule is annulled!
Kako: HURRAY HURRAY GACCHAN!!!
GO FOR IT GO FOR IT GACHHAAAAAN!!!!
019
(Handwritten- HURRAY HURRAY GACCHAN!!)
Announcer: The serve will alternate between you two!
The first one to receive 11 points will be declared the winner!
(Handwritten underneath panel- If the game ends in a tie (10-10) then an extra serve will be added between both players, until one gains an extra point and then wins.)
Hikari: Yeah!!!
Muko: Hmm...
Kako: What's wrong Mu-chan?
Muko: It's nothing....but I could swear I've heard the name 'Doujima Hikari' before.....
I just can't remember where....
Announcer: Serve! Marunouchi!!!
Kako: GO FOR IT!!!!
020
Kako: Nice serve Gacchan!!!
021
Kako: Ah....
Ah....
022
Kako: Gacchan!!!
Gaku: Ngh....!!
(Sfx- Juuuuu fwissssssh)
Guy: What the hell was that just now?!!
The ball....what happened?!!?!
Muko: I remember now.
I heard a rumor on the net a few years ago.
There was a middle school student who would literally GRILL her Takkoku opponents....
And now that I think back...her name comes to mind....
023
Muko: 'The Ifrit from Doutonbori'
Doujima Hikari!!
(TN- Doutonbori is a tourist trap in Osaka Japan. Coincidentally it's where Hikari gets her distinct dialect. Check out more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C5%8Dtonbori)
Kako: GO BACK TO DOUTONBORI.........!!!!
{Salt}
(Sfx- NGHAAAAH!!!)
Muko: He can't win....
The newbie Marunouchi versus that monster....this ended before it began.
024
{Kako-chan is pretty strong, so I don't have to worry about any other guys taking you away...}
{So in the meantime, I'll just work harder on becoming better!}
{Yeah....}
{I was wrong in thinking that I can just take my time in getting stronger!!}
{Until the day that I defeat Kako-chan....}
Gaku: I can't...
{I can't lose to anyone else.....!!!}
Hikari: Now...
Let's get this movin'!!
Kako: KYAHHHH!! I got salt in my eyeeeees!!!!

Anywho, for those who have been waiting....Takkoku! I owe Fukuchi a huge debt. You see, although I'm now known as that 'machoist that translates gag manga' (AKA GINTAMA.), what spurred my interest in translation was Fukuchi's ever popular 'The Law of Ueki' series. Heck, Ueki no Hosoku was the first raw manga series I ever bought. So I couldn't miss out on Fukuchi's return. I dunno when I'll have the next out, so hold tight with this. And thanks Fukuchi. Thanks. ^^.
(Top text- A year after the legendary oneshot, Fukuchi Tsubasa revives with a perfect new serial!)

{At the time, the two had no idea.}

Okay...!!
It's a promise!
{That immediately after this scene, a 'certain law' would be established....}
Both: It's a promise!!

Yet another girl: Hm?

Looks like they're coming back to the country from abroad.
Kako: Really?
Oh yeah! Today's lunch is Hamburgers!!
(Handwritten- Banzai!!)
Yet another girl: She's not listening.
(Handwritten- The teacher's here!)
Teacher: Class, I'd like to introduce you to a new friend that'll be joining us! Please go right ahead with your introduction.
???: Okay.

Been a while since I saw him around....
The Judgeman is scary.....
020
Kako: Sorry about that Gacchan!
I'm happy to see you back, but I forgot the rules of 'Takkoku'!
Gaku: 'Takkoku'?
Hey, what's Takkoku?
Kako: Oh yeah! I forgot to ask! What countries have you been to Gacchan?! Gaku: Huh? Well...
Plenty of 'em!
Swiss alps, Brazil, America, Germany, Finland....
My dad's work takes him all over the world you know.
Glasses: Sorry I'm late!!!
Kako: Ah Mu-chan!
(Handwritten- Good Morning!)
Muchan: Hm? Who's this guy?
Kako: Oh! Let me introduce him!!
He's my childhood friend, and he just transferred today! Meet Gacchan!
Muchan: Hmmm?
I'm Kako's best friend. Todoroki Muko.
Nice to meet you.
021
Gaku: Apopo Peroro Piruta.
Muko: HGYAHHHHHHH!!!!
'The hell you doing pervert?!?!
(Handwritten- And I just decided to switch from wearing bloomers too!!!)
(Handwritten- Whoa!!)
Gaku: Huuuh....? My buddies at the Popo Tribe said that this is the best way to greet an old friend....
Someone: Looks like a weirdo has shown up.....
22
Gaku: Kako-chan.
I said I'd only go out with you when I came back after ten years of traveling, and I made sure to keep my promise.
That's why now....
I'm going to hold up my end of our ten year bargain.
I love you.
Would you please go out with me?!?!
023
Kids: A...
A....
A CONFESSION?!!?!?
(Handwritten- And on the day he transferred no less!!!)
Kako: I had been waiting for this....
Of course I will!!!!
Muko: Hold on a second Kako!!!
What did you just say?!!
What's so great about this pervert?!?
Kako: We already decided ten years ago right?
It felt like a lifetime while I waited for Gacchan to come back....and I only have eyes for him.
024
Muko: So you're telling me that you've been turning down pretty much every guy in the school....
Kako: Yep!
Gacchan's my one and only!
Guys: Whaaaaat?!!?
{The members of Kako's fanclub.}
Guy: And to think I stubbornly pursued her....
Just to find out she already has a 'favorite'....
{Now they're just clowns.} Muko: Are you serious Kako?!
Kako: Yes!
Muko: Aaah.....
025
Muko: I get it then! I'll back off!
I thought that you were just waiting for Mr. Right to show up this whole time....
Who knew you had a thing for perverts!
Well, guess you gotta challenge him to 'Takkoku'!
If he manages to win the 'Takkoku' match, you guys can officially date!
Kako: Yeah!
Gacchan! Let's have a match!!!
Gaku: Um...
You've been going on and on about this Takkoku...
But what IS it...?
(Sfx- Zuko thunk)
Kako: Okay?
'Takkoku' is,
A law that they set in Japan ten years ago....
026
Kako: A ping pong confessional law!!
Gaku: Ping pong...
Confessional?
{Let's head back ten years!!!}
027
TV: Game set! The winner is China!! Old guy: Guh....
We lost AGAIN....
Why...
Why does Japan's Ping pong team keep losing to China?!!?
{The Current prime minister....Ooizumi Youichirou!!!}
Ooizumi: I want to win so BAD!!!
I want to rub victory in those Chinese guys faces!!!
{Ooizumi was a freak for all things ping pong.}
Ooizumi: There's no choice then...
I'll use that...!!
Aide: That? Which is...?
029
Ooizumi: The people in China eat, breathe and sleep 'ping pong'! It's their national sport.
So it's no surprise that from childhood the players are trained to be the best!!
So we in Japan shall take up the same doctrine! We will make Ping pong into a way of life!!....
Aide: But Prime minister....
Right now all of the kids are into Video games....ping pong Is asking for a bit much....
Ooizumi: True....
However eventually those kids will have their heartstrings plucked by love, and you'd be surprised at how much energy they have!!
But I plan on...
Using that energy in reverse!!!
029
Muko: And so...
Ooizumi made a new law for this country.
To promote his agenda of ping pong, he passed the worst possible law....
The Ping pong confessional!!!
F—Big girl: Ninomiya-kun!
I love you!!
Let's go out together!!
Ninomiya: Sorry, but I've got someone else in mind!!!
So I can't lose this match under any means!!
030
???: Start!!
{The rules of the 'Ping pong Confessional' are simple.}
{Challenge the one that you love to a game of 'Ping pong'......}
???: Winner! Taneko!!
Taneko: Yaaaay!!!
{And If you win....}
Muko: The one that you love becomes yours! No questions asked!!!!
031
{And so all of the boys and girls have been sharpening their Ping Pong skills!!}
{The reason? So that they can beat the one they love in a game of Ping pong!!!}
{HOPE!!!}
{And as for those who don't practice,}
{Losing the ability to be with the one that they truly desire, all because of ping pong....}
{DESPAIR!!!}
{But the plan is working! All of the young people in love have started playing 'Ping Pong!!'
{As a result, the whole of Japan has become monstrously good at the sport!!}
{A last ditch effort to gain the skills needed to defeat the mecca of Ping Pong China!!!} 032
Muko: That's the name of the game! Ping Pong Confessional!!
Better known as Takkoku!!!
(TN- Ah so THAT's where the name comes from. Takkyu Koku Haku Hou.)
Gaku: Ah.
Muko: WHERE”S YOUR REACTION!?!
(Handwritten- I spent a whole page explaining this to you and THAT's all I get?!?)
Gaku: So Japan's got a law like that huh?
Wow I've missed out on a lot while I've been traveling the world.
Okay then, why don't we do this 'Takkoku' thing together?
Kako-chan?
Muko: Ah....
033
Gaku: HONGYAAHHHHHH!!!!
Judgeman: GUILTY!!!
Muko: If you should touch someone you confessed to before playing 'Takkoku' with them,
Then the watchdog of the games 'Judgeman' will come out and punish you.
Gaku: I see....
Muko: Well now you see what you're up against.
But that's not your only problem here.
Gaku: Hm?
034
Muko: See, you two both love each other unconditionally!
Which means if one of you loses in Takkoku, it's over for the both of you!
Kako: Gacchan. We have to keep our promise from ten years ago...!
So let's take this challenge head on!!
035
One more girl: The contest is an 11 point match! First there claims victory!!
We'll alternate between two serves!!!
Guys: TAKE THE FALL TRANSFER STUDENT!!
DON'T TAKE OUR IDOL AWAY FROM US!!!
Muko: Oh just shut up, losers.....
(Handwritten- We're beggin ya!)
036
Muko: Shut your faces you guys!! Blame the fact that you suck and not the new kid for being with Kako!!!
Boys: Don't blame us!! We had to take on Kako!! THE Kako! You should know that Four eyes!!
Muko: Don't call me four eyes!!
{Though....}
{She's pretty much an idiot in every sense of the word, but she's a Takkoku savant.....}
{Before us is the girl that's considered Japan's number 1 in ping pong....}
(Handwritten- That girl is...)
Gaku: This is the first time I've ever played Ping-pong....
Will I even be able to hit the ball?
Kako: It's fine, It's fine!
I'll make sure to take it easy on you!
(Handwritten- Just relax!)
Muko?: Takkoku...

Gaku: GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!
Everyone: WHAAAAT?!
(Handwritten- She sent him flying!!!)
{Marunouchi Gaku....}
{Died.}
Kids: You're Kidddddingggg!!!
041
Kako: Oops..? Muko: Don---

Kako: W---What should I do?
I've been playing Takkoku for ten years now.....
And I don't think I can take things easy at all anymore.....

043
Kako: Sorry about that Gacchan!
My body's used to playing Ping pong at max levels....
Gaku: Ah? So I see... Kako: Don't worry about a thing!
If you challenge me to Takkoku again.....
And manage to beat me then....!!
N....!
Gaku: I said it before right?
I want to be the one to confess okay?
Kako: Bu—but!!!
Gaku: You kept your end of our ten year promise, so this time I'm going to keep my end.
We're connected by an iron clad bond, and I refuse to let it break!
Yeah I can't beat you right now......
044
Gaku: But I will get stronger so that one day I can challenge you properly.
So until then, please wait for me okay?
Kako: Y...
Yeah!
I'll wait for you!
045
Kako: I'll wait for you as long as it takes.....
Even if my hair grows out really long I'll keep waiting!
Gaku: Heheh!

Kako: Gacchan! Gacchan!!!
Someone: That's Kako-chan for you! She's scary strong!!
Yep, at this rate those two won't be dating anytime soon.
Yeah! There's no way a weak guy like that can touch Kako!
Especially since she has no idea what it means to take it easy!
Ahahaah True that!
048
{Even at that ungodly speed smash....}}
{He instantly knew!!!}
{He protected himself from further damage with a guard!!!}
Judgeman: His racket was completely destroyed....
But could this guy have what it takes....?
