Io: Tsumiki? Tsumiki: ... (I failed.) SFX: Embarrassed
-------
Tsumiki: (What should I do...?) Io: ?
Io: Tsumiki? Tsumiki: (E.. Err...)
Io: ? SFX: Pat TSumiki: (Like.. like this please?)
SFX: Blushing Tsumiki: ...NO!!
3 (111) SFX: Sizzle Io: (Hm...)
Io: (Here, here.) Tsumiki: (wail)
Tsumiki: !? (Oh!)
Hime: (Spit) Mayoi: (Smirk)
Mayoi: Don't mind us, please keep stroking her until she is on fire. SFX: stroke stroke stroke // On fire!? Io: (The friction?) On fire!?
-------
Mayoi: But it really surprised me that Tsumiki-san coaxed you into stroking her. Tsumiki: I didn't do such a thing.
Tsumiki: ...it's because of my horoscope today. Io: Horoscope?
Hime: I also saw watched that show. // If I'm right, Tsumiki-san's was---- Tsumiki: !!
SFX: stroke stroke Hime: Fueeee!? Io: Was that also part of her horoscope? Mayoi: I don't think so.
4 (112) Kana: Oh, Hime-chan's hair is pretty wild today. (Good morning.) Saki: Did something fun happen? (Good morning) Hime: (Good morning) Some stuff happened while we discussed our horoscopes... Tsumiki: (Good morning.)
Mayoi: Tsumiki-san made Io-san stroke her head with his hand. (Good morning.) Saki: Doesn't that always happen? Hime: (Alwaysl!?) Tsumiki: ...
Saki: Oh, maybe it is her lucky word for today? Io: Do they foretell things like: "Have someone stroke your head"? Kana: "And today's lucky word is----" T/N: I'm pretty sure Kana is referring to something (because of the quote marks), but I have no idea what.
XXX: "Iron Claw" ? (squeeze squeeze) Mayoi: (Or) "Face Crusher"!! Io: (I don't understand their process of thought.) Is that even safe, having such horoscopes!?
T/N: "Iron Claw" is a wrestling move (a.k.a. Clawhold); "Face Crusher" is a wrestling move (a.k.a. One-handed Bulldog)
-------
Saki: But Lucky words are usually a little strange, right? // I wonder if there are any in this magazine. Io: Certainly. (that could be true.)
Io: They have no relevance and the genres are all over the place. (Are they any in there?) Saki: (Yes, on this page.) Sometimes you'll even get things that aren't even possible.
Hime/Kana: Copy sutras!? Mayoi: (Even though it's a magazine for girls...) Saki: Maybe you'll get lucky when you're done with that? Io: At least you'll get a little more virtuous.
5 (113) Kana: Io-kun, give me your glasses! Io: Hm. // Sure. (Yes.)
Kana: Like this my luck will go way up! // I'm going to try to get an extra free drink from the vending machine! Tsumiki: (So fast.) SFX: Dash!! Hime: You're doing that right now!? (Can't stop her.)
Sakaki: Miyama just ran by me at great speed, what happened? (Where are your glasses!?) SFX: Stare Io: (Sakaki?) It appears that she's wanted to test her luck at the Vending machine.
Kana: I got a lot of free things... (That was scary.) SFX: A lot Sakaki: Amazing!! (Surprised) Saki: Isn't it just broken!? (Surprised) Hime: (So many...) Io: Don't start copying sutras! (surprised) Mayoi: Kan-ji-zai Bo-sa
T/N: Mayoi started copying the Heart sutra
-------
Saki: That result is pretty amazing... Kana: (I'll give some to Io-kun.) Io: (Share with everyone.) It was probably just a coincidence. Tsumiki: (Io-kyun!)
Hime: Shall we try out some other words? Mayoi: Kan-ji-zai Bo-sa Gyou Jin Han-nya-ha-ra-mi-ta Io: (That's scary.) I told you to stop copying!
T/N: Mayoi is still copying the heart sutra
Mayoi: How about Tsumiki's "cat"? SFX: Stare Tsumiki: What about it? Hime: (Kitties!) Sakaki: If you need any, cats come running if Io calls for them. (Just kidding.)
Io: Like that's possible. Cat: Meow All: Behind you!!
6 (114) Sakaki: I wonder why girls love horoscopes and charms. (Even my sister was watching that horoscope show this morning.) Io: Well, it appear they are just more interested in it than boys.
Sakaki: I think it's silly to let a horoscope affect your day. Io: I don't think they depend on it that much.
Io: I suppose they like it, because it gives them a chance to make their boring daily life a little more exciting... Sakaki: I see.
Sakaki: It's their wisdom to survive in this harsh world? Io: So serious! (Hey!)
-------
Saki: Talking about charms, we used to make them together in Elementary school, remember? Hime: Like friendship charms and love charms, right? (We did.)
Kana: There were many different types. SFX: Hmmm. Mayoi: That's right. Tsumiki: I don't think we had a lot of materials to work with. (Only stationary supplies)
Hime: Writing names on a eraser Saki: Using a mechanical pencil and a refill, or lip balm. (Indeed.) Mayoi: (Ah!) Making the person you loved---
Sakaki: Into a straw doll. SFX: Blush Io: Don't bring Voodoo items into this!
7 (115) Hime: Before we knew it we stopped making these charms. Mayoi: Once you try if they work, you stop believing really quickly. Io: Horoscopes changes every time too.
Kana: I guess some people just check their horoscope out of curiosity. Tsumiki: (Yeah.) I think that's true for most people.
Saki: There is no risk in it, so you can just watch them for fun. (In some way.) Mayoi: It's like they always say:
Mayoi: Whether you hit or miss, you'll go mad anyway. Kana: Divination? Io: (It's divination.)That's not what they say at all!
T/N: Mayoi is wrongly quoting the saying: "Ataru mo Hakke, ataranu mo Hakke" (Fortune-telling is a hit-or-miss affair.)
-------
Mayoi: There's also a compatibility test in here. (He he.) Saki: I guess that's what popular with most girls.
Hime: But it would be sad, if you'd get a bad compatibility with the person you love. Saki: It's probably better not to take it unless you can look past the result, whether it's good or bad...
Kana: If you enjoyed it, you're good, right? Sakaki: Let's give it a try. Saki: (Err) Miniwa-san and Otonashi-kun are really compatible.
Mayoi: We knew that already. Saki: (Guess you're right.) Sakaki: Let's skip the obvious and try some other people. Tsumiki: ...
8 (116) Io: But I don't really care whether if I'm compatible or not according to such tests. Mayoi: Why is that? Tsumiki: (Even though we are compatible...)
Io: Because I rather trust my own feelings than a test created by some unrelated person. // I'm having fun when I'm with all of you, that's the only thing that matters----
Io: ......
Io: No... well, that's just what I think... SFX: Blush Tsumiki: (Gush) Mayoi: (Ehe.) Hime: (Gush) Sakaki: (Kuhaha)
-------
Kana: Then I'm perfectly compatible with everyone! Hime: Me too. Io: ... Mayoi: You two really like this stuff, huh? (Io-kun is...)
Sakaki: But, you don't mind being told that you're compatible, right? Io: I suppose... Tsumiki: (What?)
Io: Right? SFX: pat Sakaki: (That's great.)
Hime: Looks like Tsumiki-san's horoscope came true. SFX: Blush blush Tsumiki: Yes.
9 (117) Teacher: Alright, let's start CLASS!?
10 (118) Title: A Dream Tale // Extra
Mayoi: I dreamed I was hanging upside down from a tree and got to feel the absolute limits of the centrifugal force. Sakaki: I dreamed I was the gatekeeper of some place, until a cat smashed through the gate. Hime: I dreamed I became fairy and then Io-san patted my head...
Tsumiki: ...I received an indirect All: Oh... // ? // ? // ?
Tsumiki: ac // act... // blush All: Joint Lock!?
T/N: Tsumiki says: "Kansetsu waza" (間接技), which translates to "indirect act". Solely based on pronunciation, it's more common to understand it as: 関節技 (also read as "kansetsuwaza"), which means "Joint Lock (technique)". Hence the surprise/misunderstanding.
Text: An act of love
11 (119) Title: Afterword
Right column: - Special Thanks - // Michikawa-san // Akame // My friends // Ichimura-san // toto-san // Everyone who bought this book

1 (101) Mayoi: Tada☆ Hime: Wow, that's a long scarf!
Mayoi: Let's wear it together☆ Tsumiki: As long as you don't fall, that's fine. (Even if you do.) Hime: If one of us falls, we'll all fall.
Tsumiki: If she falls, let's support her together. Mayoi: That won't be needed☆ Hime: Sure!
2 (102) Mayoi: Is Io-san here already? (Excuse us.) Sakaki: He is. // We've been hanging out all day. (You can put your coats on those hangers there.)
SFX: Sip....
SFX: Sip.....
SFX: Plop! Mayoi: WHA!? He was swallowed by the kotatsu!?
---
Sakaki: There lives a demon under the kotatsu. (Aaauu) SFX: shocked All: EEEH!?
Mayoi: So that's what happened!? Hime: Io-san was eaten with relish!?
Tsumiki: Io-saaaan!? SFX: Quickly!!
Io: I brewed us some tea. All: YES!?
3 (103) Mayoi: I never thought it would startle me that much. Tsumiki: (How did you get there?) Io: (With Sakaki) It was my punishment for losing the game.
Io: Apparently you can't attack any vital points with that technique... (I didn't know that.) Sakaki: (You had great timing.) It scared me though when you aimed for my vital points from that position.
Hime: So that's what happened? Sakaki: Yes, because it's cold outside a kotatsu is---- // GUAAA!? SFX: Sip
4 (104) Sakaki: Isn't there some epoch-making way to peel a mandarin? Mayoi: munch munch Io: Why?
Sakaki: After eating them for years, I've grown tired of neatly peeling them into a starfish shape. Arrow: Starfish Hime: ... Text: in pieces... Io: (Well) That happens.
Mayoi: What do you mean with epoch-making? Text: Depressed Sakaki: Something that is both elegant and smart, like rotary cutting an apple.
Io: Like this? SFX: surprised Sakaki: Don't act like it's nothing!!
-------
Sakaki: By the way, if you could peel it in any way, how would you do it?
Mayoi: How about this? SFX: Appear XXX: EEK!? Sakaki: That's horrible!
Io: How about this? SFX: Pop! XXX: It's somewhat joyous!!
Sakaki: Like this! SFX: BANG!! XXX: Scary!!
5 (105) SFX: Nice and warm
Tsumiki: (NYA! ) // !? Bubble: soft
Tsumiki: ? // ?
Hime: Tsumiki-san... Tsumiki: Nnya! Bubble: soft Mayoi: (Io-san,) // what are you doing?
T/N: Sakaki is referring to Acchi Kocchi 42 last (two) page(s)
Sakaki: Did something happen between you and Miniwa? (You seem to have a cold.) Io: It's nothing. // It's just...
Io: I'm not sure how... (There are no words for it.) SFX: Sigh // embarrassed // embarrassed Sakaki: Well, then, let's get lunch. Box bubble: Guessed what happened. Sakaki: (Why am I also feeling embarrassed?)
SFX: Quickly... Bubble: Soft SFX Hime: Gushing Tsumiki: Nyaa! Sakaki: (I'll just sip my drink until they get back to their senses again...) Should I tell the others? 6 (106) Sakaki: Who wants to eat rice cake? XXX: Me, me, me! Tsumiki: gurgle Io: It's a bit sudden, but let's make a small charcoal stove.
Io: That rice cake is rising nicely, huh? Tsumiki: munch Sakaki: Is that so?
SFX: Bulge
SFX: Spongy
-------
Hime: We calmed down! (Ah!) Mayoi: We did! (Oh!) Sakaki: The tension disappeared!
Sakaki: Could we possibly end all wars by having everyone watch a baking rice cake? Mayoi: Isn't that a bit much!?
SFX: Pop // pffft
Io: Resistance is always in vain. (Sigh) SFX: Surprised Sakaki: You noticed!?
7 (107) Io: What shall we make, Zouni or Nori Shoyu? Sakaki: I'd say we make some Zenzai.
T/N: "Zouni" is a soup containing rice cakes "Nori Shoyu" is rice cakes wrapped in seaweed (nori)dipped in soy sauce "Zenzai" is a sweet, thick red bean soup with pieces of rice cake
Mayoi: Zenzai sounds really delicious too. (drool) Hime: Ah, but Zenzai is higher in calories than Zouni. (Zouni is pretty delicious too.)
Io: It only appears to be high in calories, but it actually doesn't. (It depends on how you make it.) Hime: Is that so?
Sakaki: I don't think there's a need to worry about calories when you eat rice cakes. (Ha ha ha) Girls: Not listening. Tsumiki: Nya! Io: I think they are a little too worried.
-------
Hime: Sasaki-san, your family always eats their Zouni with soy sauce, right? (as seasoning.) Sakaki: Not really, we eat it Miso-flavored. Mayoi: But last time you used soy sauce, right?
Sakaki: Miko and I prefer soy sauce, but our parents like Miso better. (So we usually eat it with Miso.) Mayoi: (Is that so?) Io: (We eat it with soy sauce.) // So since I made these today.
Sakaki: Because you like it to be soy-flavored, right? (Delicious.) Io: That will never change. Hime: Looks likes there are two kinds of taste in the household with New year's.
Sakaki: It's delicious, brother-in-law. (Tastes like family.) Io: (Really, stop it!) Don't encourage me!! Tsumiki SFX: Puffed up
8 (108) Mayoi: By the way, where's Miko-san? Io: She left just before you all came. Sakaki: She left with Sensei. (Thanks for the meal.)
Sakaki: They are taking it easy today and went to the New Year's sales. Mayoi: (I see.) Hime: They have a lot of sales at this time of the year, huh?
Mayoi: But those sales are like a battlefield, right? MIko/Sensei: Oh, my! // What now!? Tsumiki: Doesn't sound relaxing at all. Io: No, Miko-san--
Io: will be excited and giggling while making her way through. (Before they know it.) TMiko/Sensei: Oh my! Ehehe! // Miko, help!! Sakaki: (Before they know it.) And Sensei will be carried away by the stream of people. Mayoi: Is that a live broadcast?
-------
Io: Oh. Sakaki fell prey to the Kotatsu demon. Sakaki: Ah... // I can't // get up... SFX: Nice and warm
Mayoi: We have to rescue Sasaki-san from the Kotatsu (Like a hurricane!) Io: (Hurricane?) Go ahead.
Mayoi: (Alright!) Sakaki: AAH!?
Sakaki: Did the Kotatsu just spit me out!? (Scary!!) Io: There's a demon under the Kotatsu. Sakaki: Am I distasteful!? Mayoi: He he he https://mangahelpers.com/t/sohma-riku/releases/39443[English] [Translation] Acchi Kocchi 42 by Sohma Riku2014-02-10T19:15:15+00:00Sohma Rikuadmin@mangahelpers.com

1 (93) Mayoi: All classes after lunch will be suspended today. (Good morning.) Tsumiki: (Good morning.) Io: I expected as much. (Good morning.)
Hime: Because the flu is going around, right? Kana: (Morni.. Wow, so little people!!) Saki: (Good morning.) Io: More than half of our class is absent, huh?
Teacher: Alright everyone, please take your seat. All: YES!
Teacher: Hey you!! // Don't gather in front of the heater, because it's cold!! (Please take your own seat.)
2 (94) Io: It's been really cold lately. Mayoi: You'll only feel colder, when you say it out loud. Tsumiki: That's what they say, huh?
Saki: But if you say it's hot, you won't feel warmer. Mayoi: If you set your heart to it, I'm sure you will feel a change.
Kana: It'll change when you think of it? Tsumiki: Love. Hime: Thin.
Saki: No, that won't change just by thinking about it. SFX: startled!! Hime: Wh.. what are you talking about!?
---
Kana: But what if you use a different word to say it's cold? Tsumiki: Like midwinter? Io: Well, I guess it doesn't feel as cold.
T/N: Cold = Samui（寒い）・ Midwinter = Kan （寒）
Kana: Kan kan kan kan kan kan♪ All: Kan kan kan kan kan Mayoi: It kinda sounds like a crossing signal.
Inui: What are you all doing in front of the heater? SFX: roar // BANG!!
XXX: Sakaki-san (you) got hit by a train!? All: Aah!! Io: (That was reckless.) SFX: shocked Sakaki: Hit!? What!? (What are you looking at!?)

Mayoi: He // he // he Kana: Oh, // Mayo-chan too? Tsumiki: (Hmm.) Mayoi: He
Mayoi: HEY☆ (Ha ha ha)
Io: How disappointing. (phew...) Kana: (Indeed. // Huff.) Mayoi: It just stopped!! (Halfway through)
---
Io: Both of you, watch out you don't catch a cold. (at all cost) Hime: Yes. Tsumiki: nod nod Sakaki: Well, I guess that applies to everyone here.
Saki: If Miniwa-san would catch a cold, Otonashi-kun would probably tell her to give him her cold. (Or something.) Sakaki: No, we're talking about Io here. He'd probably say something more aggressive and knight-like. (huff) Io: I'd visit her and---- (Mm.)
Box: Image Text: I came here // to take your cold.
Io: -----maybe? Saki: That's a little too much!? (That line.)
4 (96) Mayoi: Look... a mosquito. SFX: Bzz Hime: (puzzled) Kana: (These snowy rice cakes are delicious.) Io: ...
Hime: They're still alive despite the cold. SFX: Bzzz Tsumiki: I wonder if they're going to hibernate inside the school.
Mayoi: In summer I always smash any mosquito I see--- SFX: BANG! Mosquito: Ah! Kanji: Mosquito
Mayoi: YIKES!? Text: toothpick SFX: Poing Hime: Wha--!? Io: That was for the people they kept awake this summer. (That includes me.) Kana: That's me!! (Oh☆)

Mayoi: Io-san, what are you doing all of a sudden!? Io: I will rectify the world's itching. Sakaki: So cool!?
Io: They disturbed my sleep so many times... Kanji: Annoyed SFX: Bzzz Kana: When the light is off, they are there. When you turn it on, they're gone... (Irritated☆)
Tsumiki: So, they've been buzzing in your ears, huh? SFX: puzzled Mayoi: But please stop killing them like that in front of our eyes--- SFX: Bzzzz // BANG! Mosquito: (Ah.)
Mayoi: STOP IT!! (Mew!!) Io: Sorry... SFX: Poing Sakaki: By the way, why can you hit them?
5 (97) Saki: But seeing them in such an unfortunate situation, you somehow want them to hold out, not? Io: (Hm.) Hime: If you put it like that, you may want to cheer for them.
SFX: Bzzz Mosquito: sting
XXX: (chest) SFX: BANG! Mosquito: Ah.
Io: Live and let live, right? Saki: Guess it's impossible. SFX: shocked Hime: WHAT!?
---
Kana: Miniwan, you're so warm! Text: Nice and warm by the heater. Hime: So warm! Tsumiki: You two are warm too.
Both: Your heart is warm too~ Sakaki: You usually say that about a generous person.
Kana: Then, everyone // is really warm, huh?
Hime: Yes, we are. Kana: (Right?) Mayoi: This is pretty embarrassing... Saki: Those two are just really...
6 (98) Sakaki: Shall we eat lunch before we go home? Mayoi: That was the plan. Saki: Didn't bring lunch for nothing.
Sakaki: All the girls brought lunch. // What shall we do? (I didn't bring any.) Io: (Me neither.) Let's just buy some bread.
Io: The canteen is probably pretty empty with the flu going around. Sakaki: (I see!) Yeah, business may be in the doldrums.
Mayoi: "Are there no customers!?" SFX: shriek Sakaki: (Eerie bird!?) Io: That's the lamentation of the (lunch) lady.
--- Saki: I'm going to buy a drink. (from the vending machine) Mayoi: I'm going to pick some flowers. Hime: (I'm going to smell some too.)
Saki: Can I bring anything for you? (Kana please come with me. ) Mayoi: Yes, hot tea☆ Kana: Tea☆
SFX: chirring Hime: Oo // Oolong tea?
ALL: Yeey!! Saki: (All three.) So, that's 3 hot oolong tea, right? Tsumiki: One person still has a big question mark floating above her head.
7 (99) Saki: Ah, that's right Io. What about the thing we discussed earlier? Io: Hm. // I'm afraid I have to decline.
Io: Your parents are also living at the store, right? I don't want to cause you any trouble. (It's not like it never happened before.) Sakaki: (I see.) Miko and I wouldn't mind if you came, though. (Oh..) Phone: ~~♪
Phone: Pi☆ Sakaki: But, Sis. Io: She heard us!? (How!?)
Sakaki: Actually, it's my mom. (Ha ha ha) Phone: Huh? What about Miko?? Io: Don't worry your mother. (Even so, talk of the devil)
---
Box: Sasaki on the phone call in the hall Tsumiki: What were you talking about? Io: (Hm.) My parents are really busy and won't be home for quite a while. // So Sasaki and Miko asked me to join them for dinner.
Io: While I'm really happy, it's a little embarrassing at the same time. // ...pretty strange, huh? After all this time... (And I'm also very sorry to bother them like that.) Tsumiki: Not at all.
Io: Thank you. Tsumiki: But // I guess I understand // the feelings of Sakaki and Miko-san too... (probably) Io: Hm?
Tsumiki: I would // want to do the same // I think. (yes.) SFX: blush Io: ......

Sakaki: Guess we'll be able to get the popular menus today. (What shall I have?) Io: ......
Sakaki: Did something happen, Io?
Io: It's nothing... // I think... SFX: Blush
Sakaki: Wow, your face is all red! Sure you are okay!? (The flu!?) SFX: Shocked Io: Wh... // why am I... (Blush)
