Chapter 07
01
Title: episode. 7 Passion isn't enough! It isn't true romantic love unless it is sublimated to pure love!
On shirt: Shiina Minatsu
02
Text: The members of the Hekiyou Academy Student Council are chosen either by a popularity contest vote of those nominated... Text: or by the excellence method where any student that gets top scores on the end of term examinations can get in if they so wish.
Box: Sugisaki Ken put in enough effort that he was practically oozing blood and got in via the excellence method so that he could create the ultimate harem. Box: But no matter how hard he tries, not even a flag for a romance route has appeared, much less for the harem route.
Kurimu: Passion isn't enough! It isn't true "romantic love" unless it is sublimated to pure love!
Kurimu: Isn't that right, Sugisaki!? Ken: Y-yes... You have to have the pure love.
Kurimu: Isn't that right? Ken: Y-yeah. SFX: Smile smile
Kurimu: Right? Ken: ...Yeah. SFX: Sweating
03
Minatsu: It's not often the president can talk you down, Ken. Minatsu: But I guess you don't have anything to say back to her. Having a harem is about as unfaithful as you can get.
Ken: Well, it may not be faithful, but it does have "pure love".
Ken: But the president's such a kid that she doesn't know that. And most of all, she has logic on her side. Sometimes, there's no room to refute her. Minatsu: I know what you mean. Logic can be a pain.
Minatsu: You know you're wrong, but that's not the point. Minatsu: Those kinds of situations come up a lot.
Minatsu: But there are those people who love using that kind of logical argument. Minatsu: And they get so cocky. Minatsu: Not that I'm talking about anyone in particular. Text right of Kurimu: Hee hee Text left of Kurimu: I talked down Sugisaki.
04
Mafuyu: I know what you mean, too. SFX: Raise hand
Mafuyu: I love video games. Mafuyu: and my parents are always telling me...
Mother: What meaning is there in clearing that game if it makes your eyes go bad? Mafuyu: I know they're right... Mafuyu: and yet...
Ken: As long as you're not causing anyone any problems, you don't want to hear that kind of thing from anyone. Ken: You know they have logic on their side, but you do it anyway.
Minatsu: I've done that, too. At the crosswalk, I'll cross when it doesn't look like there are any cars coming. Ken: I know what you mean.
05
Ken: My home town is in the country and my eyesight is 1.5 so there are times when I can look in both directions and see that there are no cars all the way to the horizon.
Minatsu: I know they're right for being careful, so I can only accept their rebukes. Minatsu: I'm the one at fault... Minatsu: I'm the one at fault, but...
Chizuru: You shouldn't break the rules. Text in background: Logical Argument SFX: Close
All: Uh.
06
Chizuru: Video games are bad for your eyes, so you should play them in moderation. Mafuyu: Ah.
Chizuru: You should wait for the light to change before crossing the crosswalk. Minatsu: Uhh.
Chizuru: But, well, I play video games in the dark and trust my vision more than the traffic light. SFX: Take off Chizuru: That very vision that has been ruined by the video games! Ken: You're the worst one!
Text above Kurimu: Ah
SFX: Squeak squeak
07
On board: Today's Topic: Concerning the lapse in public morals in the school. SFX: Place
Ken: That's amazingly clichéd. Kurimu: That's exactly the reason it's a topic the student council needs to earnestly make an effort on. Ken: You're all about the logical arguments today, aren't you?
Chizuru: But isn't this something we should leave to the Public Morals Committee? Chizuru: And I'd say we're much better than a lot of other schools in that regard...
08
Chizuru: I've heard that things are terribly rough at the nearby "Otobuki High". Chizuru: And I haven't heard many good rumors about the other schools in the area.
Chizuru: We're fairly blessed compared to those other schools. Chizuru: We have a certain standard of morals here.
Mafuyu: That's right... Mafuyu: I don't think I've seen any lapses in public morals that would justify making it a topic worth discussing...
Kurimu: What are you saying! Things are out of control! Kurimu: Especially...um... Kurimu: s-sexually! SFX: Bam Ken: ...Sexually?
09
Kurimu: It may be because of our Vice President, but lately it seems I've been seeing a lot more of guys hitting on girls around campus. Ken: Hey, hey. Why are you setting a bad example for the students, Vice President? Minatsu: Wait. The Vice President she's referring to is clearly you.
Ken: But I haven't seen any guys hitting on girls. Minatsu: Are you just going to ignore me!?
Kurimu: I just have the feeling I've been seeing it more lately! Kurimu: Like, um...
Kurimu: Guys and girls...holding hands... Ken: Eh? Ken: Holding hands is a lapse in morals? Kurimu: Th-that's right! SFX: Flirt flirt
10
Kurimu: I won't say it's wrong for them to do that when they're alone, but... Kurimu: walking around hand in hand in front of all those other students just shows indiscretion! Kurimu: How can they do that in the school...!?
Ken: Sigh...
Ken: The "good morning kiss" you often see in gal games is one thing... Ken: but they're simply holding hands...!
Ken: Maybe people who play romance games like Mafuyu-chan or me have a better basis to judge these things on...
Ken: Or maybe not.
11
Minatsu: Oh! Kurimu: Yes, Minatsu-san?
Minatsu: You may not know, president, but there are a lot of things worse then what you mentioned. Minatsu: Just check out the school after classes have let out.
Minatsu: If you go to the more abandoned areas, you'll see people kissing... Minatsu: and there's a good chance you'll even see people ****ing. Girl: Yah...! Girl: Yes, there...! SFX: Flirt flirt
Kurimu: Wha-!?
Ken: No...that can't be...
12
Ken: There are some delicious events where I could get some wonderful "Other Ero CGs" going on and I didn't know about it!? Text above and to the right of Ken: Oh, Jesus! Ken: Has choosing to go to the Student Council Room after school day after day in order to complete the Student Council Members Route backfired on me!? Text right of Minatsu: You want to see it? How much of a pervert are you? Minatsu: May I continue?
Minatsu: But there's not really anything wrong with it, right? Minatsu: It's not like they're causing anyone any problems. SFX: Sit... Minatsu: It's true it's really awkward if you happen across it, but doesn't it just mean they love each other so much they can't resist?
SFX: Nonchalantly Ken: That's right, president. In a few months, I'll have completed your route and you'll be wanting me even at school- Kurimu: ...pul...ion. SFX: Tremble tremble Ken: Eh?
13
Kurimu: Expulsion! Kurimu: Wh-when people are caught doing that, they should be expelled. Immediately expelled!
Kurimu: Wh-what's wrong with them? What do they think this place is!? Ken: Somewhere to activate flags-
Kurimu: Be quiet, Sugisaki! And stay quiet until Se*a comes out with a new system! Ken: Are you saying I can never speak again!?
Chizuru: But, Aka-chan. There's no stopping it. There are lapses in sexual morality everywhere. It isn't something we can do anything about.
Kurimu: We won't just be stopping it! We'll be eliminating in! Text in background: They shall receive divine punishment. Kurimu: Evil shall meet a swift death.
14
Chizuru: But if we do that, won't we lose most of the students? Kurimu: It can't be helped. Text left of Kurimu: Hmph
Chizuru: ...Aka-chan.
Chizuru: It IS important for the student council to maintain public morals... Chizuru: but we need to think of the students first. Chizuru: You're the president of the "Student's" council. Kurimu: Uh...
Kurimu: But... SFX: Shake shake Kurimu: We can't have people doing that at school!
Mafuyu: U-um...
Mafuyu: This isn't really my strong point... Mafuyu: but...I think we should let the people who want to do it do it...
15
Ken: Do what? Mafuyu: N-no. I didn't mean it like that... Umm, I meant... Text left of Minatsu: Don't sexually harass my sister.
Kurimu: No! Mafuyu: Ee! SFX: Jump
Kurimu: That's exactly why I'm saying that today's youth are out of control sexually. Kurimu: You have to draw the line somewhere! Kurimu: At this rate, we'll be living in a world where it's more and more normal for kids in school to be having children!
Ken: But I've heard that, up to the early days of the Meiji era, it was completely normal for 12 and 13 year olds to do it together... Text left of Ken: Like having orgies during the break periods at the temple schools. Ken: A-anyway, as long as I'm the student council president, I won't let this kind of thing happen!
Ken: Well...I suppose that's true.
16
Ken: I can't see a school under your leadership being anything like that...
Ken: But, that said, like Chizuru-san said, this is the kind of thing where it will only get worse the more we try to force people to stop. Ken: It kind of feels like we have no way of dealing with the problem. Ken: I mean, whatever we do, it'll just make it "taboo", right? Kurimu: Eh?
Ken: It's just like with ghost stories. There are people who enjoy the thrill. Ken: So if we start banning it, isn't it possible it will have the opposite effect?
Kurimu: Mhh. You're being rather honest and helpful with your opinions on this, Sugisaki... Ken: Of course I am. Text left of Kurimu: Mh
17
Ken: If you can't **** at school, what do you have left to dream for!? Ken: How disappointing would it be to buy an eroge with a school setting and then have none of the ero CGs be in the school!? Ken: Actually...there have been a lot of those lately... Kurimu: ...Anyway, I get the feeling that if Sugisaki was expelled, the school's morals would improve. Text on eroge: Ahh, it went in. Ken-kun...not so rough.
Ken: Come to think of it... Ken: You've never fallen in love, have you, president?
Kurimu: That's right... Kurimu: But even if I did, I'd be able to tell what was appropriate. Text left of Kurimu: Hmm...
18
Mafuyu: B-but um...it's not like they're making out during classes or anything. Mafuyu: I think we should make some boundaries... Mafuyu: but the school building is supposed to be used for the student's various needs after classes end...
Kurimu: I think you should still act like a proper student until you change from your uniform into your normal clothes. Mafuyu: Uh... SFX: Recoil...
Ken: It's true that causing problems while wearing your uniform is completely different from causing problems while wearing your normal clothes. SFX: Scratch scratch
Ken: So what do you want to do, president? Ban romance? Kurimu: I don't want to go that far...
Kurimu: ...Yeah.
Kurimu: I just want to set some boundaries.
19
Chizuru: Then why don't you distribute a flyer with a notification from the student council?
Kurimu: I don't want to put out a notification, I want to ban it. Chizuru: It's already banned according to the school rules. Chizuru: Even now, if a teacher catches you, you'll be suspended. Kurimu: Uuh...
Ken: This is tricky... Ken: It's said that if you love each other, you can do whatever you want, but that isn't true. Rules are rules. Ken: But I also understand the viewpoint of those asking what's wrong with doing something that doesn't cause anyone else any problems.
Ken & Kurimu: Hmm...
20
Minatsu: B-by the way, had you heard that the captain and manager of the soccer team are going out?
Minatsu: They've been going out for 2 months now and they apparently haven't even held hands yet. Kurimu: ...See, that's a wholesome relationship.
Ken: I see. So that's the president's ideal romance. Ken: So, president, do you think it's okay for college students to have sex?
Kurimu: Hmm... I still think they shouldn't do it at school. Kurimu: No matter how old you are, you shouldn't do that kind of thing at work or school. Ken: What about holding hands? Kurimu: No. Ken: What about on the way home? Kurimu: That's fine. Ken: For a high schooler? Kurimu: I'd say no. Ken: For a college student? Kurimu: Hmmm, I guess that's fine.
21
Ken: I see...she's a bit too strict, but she does seem to be close to how the general populace feels... Text: Thinking
Mafuyu: I feel the same way as the president... Mafuyu: b-but there are people who have different opinions on it... Mafuyu: So...um...we shouldn't restrict them.
Kurimu: Mhh... Ken: Ah, this is bad.
Box: There's no definitive answer to this topic. Box: And we thoughtlessly told her opinions differing from her own. Now she's lost her absolute confidence in her own view. Box: Now this meeting is going to end without us coming to a conclusion. Ken: And when that happens... SFX: Glance
22
Ken: I get what you're saying, president. Ken: You're right. You have logic on your side. Kurimu: Y-yeah...
Chizuru: That's right. You're view is right, Aka-chan. We should distribute a flyer and tell everyone to be careful at the next school assembly. Chizuru: We can also contact the teachers and get them to crack down on it. Kurimu: Yeah.
Minatsu: That's right! It's true that there are some things that are intolerable, so it'll be perfect if we gave everyone a reminder. Mafuyu: Y-yeah. I don't want to see anything like we were talking about. SFX: Clap...
Kurimu: That's right! Everyone's been too lax! SFX: Grip Kurimu: I'll fix that at the next assembly!
Kurimu: H-hello everyone. I'm Sakurano Kurimu the Student Council President. Kurimu: Um, the weather sure has been spring-like lately, hasn't it? Umm, the leaves have been turning green and...no, never mind that.
Kurimu: Lately, um...we've noticed people doing inappropriate things in the school. We think you shouldn't be doing those fings. Kurimu: Ah, I messed up again. SFX: Annoyed
Kurimu: A-anyway, you shouldn't be doing those things! Everyone, I-I beg you to have wholesome relationships!
SFX: Bow SFX: Smack Kurimu: Ow, I hit my head! Guy: So moé...
24
Ken: That won't work. The atmosphere she would end up creating would have the opposite effect.
Ken: H-how about I make the address at the next school assembly? Kurimu: You? Why are you so eager about this all of a sudden?
Ken: With someone like me telling them these things, I think it'll have a greater effect. Text: Super Ultimate Flirter
Ken: If a harem guy like me warns them, won't they listen all the more? Kurimu: I-I don't know...
Ken: They will! So let me do this! SFX: Lean in Kurimu: O-okay, okay. Not so close.
25
Text: And the conclusion
Girl: And next is a notification from the student council.
Guy: We've been waiting, president!
SFX: Walk out Ken: Hello, everyone. This is Vice President Sugisaki Ken.
SFX: Silence
Ken: Wh-why am I getting a storm of booing right off the bat!? Text: Boo Boo
26
Ken: Is it because of the president!? Did they think the president was going to come out like usual and were disappointed that it was me!?
Ken: There's nothing wrong with me. In fact looking at a bishonen instead of a bishojo is fine every once in a while. Ken: Isn't it important to keep an open mind? SFX: Twinkle
Ken: Woah. The entire school is booing me at once!
Ken: Heey! Stop booing!! Text: What is this, the Stadium of National Sport!?
Ken: Hey, Minatsu! Ken: Why are you agitating them so they'll boo me?
27
Ken: Whatever, just calm down. I said calm down, you fools! SFX: Woosh Ken: Woah!?
SFX: Thunk
Ken: That was a shuriken!! Ken: Are there mob characters or ninjas in this school!?
Ken: Anyway, who threw it!? Come forward...Wait, was it you!? Ken: You're clearly a ninja! How individual can you be!? Small text in bubble: Actually, that outfit is quite impressive.
Ken: Wait, why isn't any around him saying anything about it!? He's clearly only wearing it to get comments!! SFX: Blush Text left of girl: Really? Ken: With this kind of thing it's kinder to comment on it. Someone please open your heart and comment on it!
28
Ken: If you don't know what to say, just lecture him. If you leave things as they are... SFX: Shiver
Text right of Ken: Ah
SFX: Stare... Text in background: Sugisaki, you begged me to let you take my place, and now you're wasting time on this kind of pointless stuff!? [TN: Or something like that most of it is obscured.]
Ken: Damn it. Thanks to you guys, I got off topic and now the president's pissed. I have to get back on topic now.
SFX: Silence Ken: So you quiet down as soon as I bring up the president...? Ken: Well, whatever.
29
Ken: Lately, the morals of people at this school... Ken: have been slipping. Especially sexually.
Ken: Yeah, I completely expected to get that "You're one to talk" look.
Ken: I mean, I love eroges.
Ken: The other day, I managed to clear every route in a game of pure ecstasy even though I was busy with student council stuff.
Ken: But...
30
Ken: I'm sad to say that I haven't done anything sexually wrong in reality. Ken: No matter how hard I try to get the flags, I just can't seem to do so! Ken: It's not just that I can't get them; I don't even have the opportunities to get them! Text: His days of rushing about
Text left of Ken: Ah
Ken: S-stop. Ken: Don't look at me with such pity. Ken: It's painful. I'm really going to cry... SFX: Stare...
Ken: Well, anyway... Ken: Even for me, it's a problem having people getting so intimate at school.
31
Ken: When you come across someone doing it, it makes you want to kill them. Ken: Isn't that right? Ken: I'm sure even those of you who aren't single have some idea what I'm talking about.
Ken: What I'm trying to say is... Ken: whether it's romance or something else, you need to do it in moderation.
Ken: I understand you want to do these things. Ken: I mean, my goal is for the student council room to be a place for the five of us to do all sorts of thin-
SFX: Woosh
32
SFX: Grab Text under shuriken: Ohh!
Ken: Hey, ninja. Give it a rest. Ken: If I hadn't read Fist of the North ****, that would've hit me!
Ken: Whatever, I'll deal with you later. Ken: I'll fight you to your heart's content so do some chakra training or whatever.
Ken: Anyway... Ken: If things stay as they are, the student council is going to have to act. Ken: We'll have no choice but to make some rules.
33
Ken: We may have to ban anyone being in the school after hours for anything except for club and committee activities. Ken: Worst case, we might even have to set a specific distance guys and girls had to keep from each other. Ken: No one wants that, right? Ken: You would prefer for this to end in a polite manner, right?
Ken: Then I'm sorry to say that all you can do is remember to have some restraint. Ken: If you can restrain yourself, you'll be given more freedom.
Ken: And don't you get more fired up over it when you've been holding back?
Ken: You know what a kamado is, right? [TN: A kamado is a type of traditional Japanese stove.]
34
Ken: Because it emits heat in a restricted space and in a restricted direction, it's perfect for cooking things. Ken: It's not like an open fire where the flame spreads everywhere.
Ken: So if you're going to play with the fire of love, do it in a kamado. Ken: Simply burning like a campfire is fine, but then it'll burn out quickly, right?
Ken: Don't just do everything you want without restraint. Ken: I understand that feeling of wanting to do something, but remember to keep yourself in check. Ken: Don't do it just to follow the rules; do it for your own sake.
Ken: Isn't it better for things to continue for a long time for both those who enjoy the "passion" and those who have reached a "pure love"? Ken: You don't want it to end over some quibble, do you?
35
Ken: Then have some self restraint. If you do, others won't have to put limitations on you.
Ken: You'll be in a much better mood without those limitations.
Ken: Don't you hate it when others warn you about things you know are wrong? Ken: The cleverest way to avoid being attacked by logic like that is to only do logical things yourself, right?
Ken: I'm not saying you can't let loose and be completely unrestrained from time to time. I'm just telling you to not forget the word "moderation". Ken: Romance is a fever, so a lot of the time your self-restraint doesn't seem to be working, but, if you want to be a student, keep trying. Ken: If you're willing to quit school for romance, then go nuts. I'll leave that to your discretion.
Ken: And that's all I have to say. SFX: Click
36
Ken: Hey. Ken: Why does everyone look so serious? Ken: Just ignore me like usual. Was I acting weird or something?
SFX: Clap clap clap clap Ken: Ah, hey, stop applauding. Ken: What are you doing, ninja! Ken: This is embarrassing!
SFX: Panicking Ken: What is this atmosphere? It's like you're applauding a graduating student. Ken: C'mon. Now I'm going to cry for a different reason than before.
Ken: Argh. I'll remember this! Girl: That was the Student Council Vice President, Sugisaki Ken, with a "Notification from the Student Council".https://mangahelpers.com/t/js06/releases/20788[English] [Translation] Seitokai no Ichizon 6 by js062010-03-16T23:56:08+00:00js06admin@mangahelpers.com

Finally got around to doing this. I won't let it take so long again, I promise.
Chapter 06
157
Kurimu: Hooray!! Volume 1 is on sale! Title: Episode 6 I'm more evolved than I was 1 page ago. That's what it means to be the main character!
Kurimu: That means we need a special for the volume version.
Kurimu: How about we record an omake episode?
Chizuru: Oh, I'd like an afterword manga from the author.
Minutsu: How about a Q&A that delves into the darkness of the story?
Mafuyu: I want character profiles aimed at the doujin authors. Ken: No, no.
158
Ken: It has to be nipple retouching!! Ken: That's what you do in the volume version!! I don't care what you say, I won't back down on...
Ken: this!
Ken: What? You like T* Love-Ru, don't you Minatsu? Minatsu: I don't like all Ju*p Mangas! Text right of Minatsu: I'm the kind of person who likes hot-blooded ones.
Mafuyu: I think Sugisaki-senpai's suggestion is a good one. Ken & Minatsu: Eh?
Mafuyu: So I went ahead and got the mangaka to retouch the manuscripts. Ken: Nice one, Mafuyu-chan!
159
Mafuyu: Here you go, Sugisaki-senpai. Ken: I never thought you would approve of this, Mafuyu-chan. I'm so happy.
Ken: I'll take a look at it right awa......
Ken: This manga has only had topless guys!
Text: This has actually been retouched. For those interested, see Page 75.
160
Ken: I have no choice. I'll have to use the Main Character-Style Ultimate Secret Technique, Fantasy Incarnation! Chizuru: This has nothing to do with the volume version anymore, Ki-kun.
SFX: Pwah Box: A deep kiss.
Box: I love you... Box: After she whispers that to me...
Box: Chizuru-san carefully unbuttons her blouse one button at a time...
161
Box1: And from her open blouse, I see her bare Box2: It was like a piece of black chaos. It contained 666 beasts!! Minatsu: Ne* Chaos!!
Ken: Don't rewrite the narration of people's fantasies!!
Kurimu: Just give it up already. "Seitokai no Ichizon" is, aside from you, a wholesome manga.
Ken: No, not yet!!
162
Ken: I won't give up yet!!
Ken: I'm more evolved than I was 1 page ago. Ken: As you turn the pages, I grow bit by bit.
Ken: That's what it means to be the main character!!
Minatsu: And while you were saying that, we've reached the end of the last page.
Kurimu: And that was the omake manga. Kurimu: See you in Volume 2!! Text at bottom: To Be Continuedhttps://mangahelpers.com/t/js06/releases/18702[English] [Translation] Seitokai no Ichizon 5 by js062009-12-31T22:19:53+00:00js06admin@mangahelpers.com

Chapter 05
139
Kurimu: Hello, kids! Kurimu: How are you doing? This is your idol, Kurimu-oneesan. Box right of Kurimu: New Serialization!!
Sugisaki: President, what are you doing? Kurimu: Oh...Sugisaki and the others. Kurimu: Good timing.
Kurimu: You can help me announce the "Seitokai no Ichizon" manga starting next issue.
Text in the middle of the page: Seitokai no Ichizon
Chizuru: I guess we should at least give a summary of what it is. Kurimu: Okay, start with that!
Chizuru: It's a manga version of the light novel series written by Aoi Sekina-sensei and with illustrations by Inugami Kira-sensei, "Seitokai no Ichizon". Chizuru: The two entries in the series, "Ichizon" and "Futagokoro", are highly praised and on sale now. Kurimu: That was an excellently nonchalant way of introducing the original work, Chizuru. Next, we need to explain the plot. Kurimu: Let's talk about the drama between the members of the student council!
Sugisaki: Plot...?
Sugisaki: Isn't it just us messing around and eating in the student council room? Minatsu: Pretty much... Kurimu: Huh? Wait a second!
140
Kurimu: To do things in the manga world, it has to have visual impact as well as being interesting! Sugisaki: I see.
Sugisaki: So that means, the manga version will have panty shots, swimsuits, and changing scenes all the time!? Kurimu: Why does it have to be that kind of thing!?
Sugisaki: With a school story full of bishoujos, what else is there!? Sugisaki: And do you have any other ideas, president? Kurimu: Uh...
Kurimu: Um...
Sugisaki: Then hurry up and give me...I mean the readers, some fan service. Kurimu: Wait!? Sugisaki! Sugisaki: C'mon, c'mon. Our popularity is counting on you. Sugisaki: Don't you want to be popular? Kurimu: B-but...
Minatsu: Stop that! Sugisaki: Heaven!
Chizuru: But if you get to the root of what Ki-kun meant, he's right. Kurimu: N-not you too, Chizuru.
Chizuru: But in this day and age we can be one of the stalwart mangas that doesn't rely on fan service. Kurimu: Chizuru...
Kurimu: Well, that's that! Look forward to the stalwart manga "Seitokai no Ichizon"! Sugisaki: As long as I'm here, I'll make sure to put in some fan service. (For my own sake)
141
Title: Episode 5 If you don't give form to your feelings, you can't convey them to others! Text along the right: The student council is turned into a manga
142
"If you don't give form to your feelings, you can't convey them to others!" The president put her hand to her small chest and self-importantly announced this which she had gotten from some book. Since this was yet another abstract phrase, we watched her having no idea what we would be discussing today. She kept her hand on her chest and announced in an unusually loud voice, "So the student council is finally going to have a manga!" "... ... ...!? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?" Everyone except for the president (that is, me, the Shiina sisters, and Chizuru-san) yelled in surprise. The president continued to hold her hand to her chest. "Surprised, aren't you?" "Of course we are!" "Chizuru, praise me, praise me." "...Oh, um, okay." Even the usually calm and collected Chizuru didn't know how to respond and stroked the president's head. The president looked incredibly happy. I whispered to Minatsu who was sitting next to me and Mafuyu-chan who was across from me. "(Hey, Minatsu. H-how should we respond to this as the vice presidents?)"
143
"(I don't know. I like manga, so part of me wants to rejoice at this like she is, but...that's just part of me.)" "(Same with me...More of me is worried than is hopeful, onee-chan.)" "(Should we oppose this? But then, it is the president.)" "(She's already made her decision.)" "(Yes, she has.)" "(...We have no choice. Let's just continue the meeting for now. Well, it's probably good news.) Since it was already decided, we couldn't help but be hesitant to voice our complaints. Also, I do enjoy manga. It's not like I wasn't at all excited to here we'd be making a manga. ...The problem was, we were all complete amateurs. After we had all calmed down, I attacked the president with a question. "So, what's this about, president?" She arrogantly replied to my question. "It's exactly what I said. We're going to have a manga." "Where? How?" "I requested a mangaka from a magazine called 'Dragon Age' to do it." "Oh, so unlike the light novels, I wouldn't be writing it." I was a bit relieved by that. She laughed saying, "Of course not." Well, there was the precedent of her making me write and produce the light novels.
144
"Not to look down on the light novels or anything, but, for a manga, we really need the skill of a pro. I had to give up on doing it on our own." That must mean she initially wanted to do it that way. We all sighed in unison. The president cleared her throat. "But it'll basically be the same thing as the novels." "What do you mean?" "It'll be about our everyday lives. That means it can be based off of the novels Sugisaki wrote." "I see." That put me at ease. But at the same time...it was a bit dissatisfying. Upon seeing my expression, Minatsu asked me what was wrong. "Oh, it's just that since we're finally going to have a manga, I wanted to do all sorts of things other than just our daily lives..." "True. Well, we can do things that weren't in the novels." "I know! Since it's actually going to have images, we should have our meetings in swimsuits!" "No, we shouldn't!" "Oh, you'd rather do it naked, Minatsu? You're pretty bold..." "Why are those the only two options!? And what kind of manga would have people having a meeting in the nude!?"
145
"Yeah, that'd shock even Soft On Demand." "Don't try to compete with them!" "But we're finally getting a manga. You have to do something visual, right?" "Yeah, but it doesn't have to be something perverted." "Then do you have any suggestions, Minatsu?" "Of course." Minatsu gave a broad grin... Crap. I shouldn't have asked her for manga material. "The manga version of the student council should have lots of battles!" "Wow! It's surprising how spot on my guess of what you would say was!" "We can just continue with the meetings like usual but have the illustrations showing a battle." "The art and dialogue wouldn't match!" "There can be sound effects like 'Don!' and 'Zashu!'" "If we're just having meetings like usual, what would be making those noises!?" "We can even put in a special attack scene on a fold out page!" "I'm not going to let there be special attacks in our everyday student council life!" Minatsu and I continued to argue and shoot down each other's suggestions. Seeing us seemed to motivate the other members to join in. Mafuyu-chan raised her hand and spoke.
146
"I want to tell the mangaka to raise the percentage of bishounens!" "But then the art wouldn't match the actual contents of the story!" "There could be a background full of bishounens behind the dialogue from our meeting". "Where are we having this meeting!?" "If that's no good, then we could present it like it was a video game! Our stats could always be written on the side!" "That presentation would be completely pointless for everyday life!" "Occasionally, we could build up excitement by having someone's HP go to 0." "Someone's going to die in our meetings!?" "And we're all equipped with items. In the manga version we could be wearing armor." "The light novels say nothing about that!" "That's the point of getting a manga." "We don't need that!" Mafuyu-chan was thoroughly excited about the manga. Her eyes were shining. ...The entire student council was excited about this in one way or another. And then Chizuru-san spoke out. "A manga...huh? I wonder how grotesque we can make the art. Heh heh heh." "Why does that cause you to laugh with a distant look on your face!?"
147
"With visuals, it'll be a lot easier to make shocking scenes." "What's going to happen to the student council in the manga!?" "On the previous page everything was normal...but Ki-kun never expected to see what he sees when he opens his eyes on the next page..." "Why do you want a manga that will traumatize the readers!?" "It's actually a kids book." "We'd get a flood of complaints! You'd be scarring the children!" Chizuru-san smiled and drew something disturbed in her notebook. She was mainly using a red pen so I didn't look at it too closely for the sake of my sanity. Now, the rest of the student council was out of control, so it was only natural for the last person to make her opinion known. "Wait! As the president I should get to choose what we do!" This was the natural way for things to proceed with the loli president, Sakura Kurimu. As the master of this harem, I had no choice but to hear her out. "Well? What kind of manga do you want, president?" "I need to stand out in it. I need to at least be in every single panel." "Even in the ones you don't speak in?" "Yeah. And I'll be drawn the biggest. Or maybe the art should basically just be me drawn beautifully from various angles. And the dialogue can all be people praising me."
148
"Isn't that pretty much just an idol's photobook?" "In the manga version, I'll have a great figure, so it'll work." "Oh, I'll be looking forward to that...Wait, why are you going to have a great figure!?" "Apparently that's how the mangaka sees me, so we have no choice. Yup, no choice at all." "......." I picked up my cell phone and called the Fujimi Shobo editor. "Hello? Oh, thanks for all your help...Oh, yes. No, this is about the manga. Yes. Can you transfer me to the mangaka who will be drawing it? ...Yes...yes. About the art of the president... Yeah, I thought so. So she got the mangaka with her fake crying, too, huh?" Upon hearing my end of the conversation, the president stiffened. I cancelled her request. "Yes, say hello to the mangaka for me. ...Yes. Tell him to draw her as small as she looks. Yes....No, no need to thank me. I'm sorry about the trouble. Yes. Okay, I look forward to speaking with you again." I hung up and looked at the president. She was clearly sweating. I stared at her. She averted her gaze and, attempting to fool me, yelled, "...E-everyone! We should have the manga version be drawn realistically!"
149
The president suddenly saying something responsible like that made us all sigh, but we agreed with that opinion. None of us had actually thought that our crazy ideas would be used...Well, except for the president. Chizuru-san raised a finger in a way that showed she was taking control of this. "For now, let's try out how we want to represent ourselves in the manga." "Try out?" The president asked this, cocking her head to the side. "That's right," Chizuru-san smiled back. "Let's have a manga made of the rest of today's meeting. I know. We can connect to our mangaka over the internet and have him send the manga roughs here in real time as the meeting progresses." "Ohh." We all liked Chizuru-san's suggestion. She contacted the editorial department and got the plan started. She gave us a thumbs up. It looked like it was going to happen. When we finished the preparations, the president perked up. And, as if she had just been on standby the entire time, she stood up from her chair and yelled, "Now that that's decided, let's begin! The student council manga...Start!"
150
Minatsu: Oh, so this is the manga world. Mafuyu: H-has it started? Chizuru: I guess it's obvious, but this has a different atmosphere to the light novels. Sugisaki: Woah. My harem is finally in 2D! Kurimu: Everyone! The character introductions for the manga version have arrived.
Chizuru: Oh, it even has our official positions. Mafuyu: This will be a great thing for first-time readers. Sugisaki: Let me see...

Sugisaki: Heeeey!
Sugisaki: Why am I dead in the very first chapter!? Text left of Sugisaki: That's not nice. Chizuru: Ki-kun, you were crushed by a falling chandelier... Text left of Chizuru: Hee hee Kurimu: It's time for "Sakura Kirumu and the Opera House Murder"!! Sugisaki: That has nothing to do with the student council!
Mafuyu: I don't like gore... Mafuyu: but since we finally have visuals, I think we should do something instead of just talking.
Sugisaki: I see... We are in a manga after all.
Kurimu: Hey, hey, Sugisaki.
152
Kurimu: Well? What do you think of my gorgeous proportions? Sugisaki: What!?
Chizuru: Aka-chan...That looks incredibly stupid from this angle. Kurimu: H-hey, look at it from the front. Minatsu: Interesting. So we can use the visuals like that? Minatsu: I'm gonna do it, too!!
Sugisaki: What are you doing, Minatsu? Minatsu: Just watch. I put this here. Sugisaki: Okay.
Minatsu: Stand in front of it... Minatsu: and do this. Sugisaki: The pain!!
Minatsu: It makes my punch look like it has incredible force. Minatsu: Isn't that cool? Sugisaki: No, it isn't. And that punch really did have incredible force.
153
Mafuyu: I-I'll do it, too!! Mafuyu: If this is what you do in a manga, I'll do it.
Mafuyu: Palmtop Onee-chan.
Kurimu: What? What's she doing? Sugisaki: I don't know. Mafuyu: Huh!? You don't get it?
Kurimu: It looks like we all enjoyed this manga. Kurimu: I guess we'll end it here. Sugisaki: Eh!?
Sugisaki: Wait a second. We haven't done a sexy scene yet! Kurimu: We're not doing one even if you try to force us.
Sugisaki: I don't need to force you. Sugisaki: I'm the main character, right?
Sugisaki: That means, as long as there's at least a page left...
154
Sugisaki: I can make an embodiment of my paradise. Kurimu: C'mon, Sugisaki. We're waiting. Chizuru: Ki-kun. Minatsu: C'mon, Ken! Mafuyu: Senpai. Sugisaki: That's my, Sugisaki Ken's, Ge*ss.
Sugisaki: I'll have even greater imaginings in the real manga. Sugisaki: The female readers will fear me!!
Sugisaki: The male readers will ask more of me!! Sugisaki: This world will be mi-
Kurimu: Stop it.
Chizuru: Mafuyu-chan, tie up Ki-kun. Mafuyu: O-okay. Sugisaki: Bondage, huh!? Okay, I get it. Come at me!! Minatsu: How can you see everything in a positive light like that?
155
Kurimu: So...? Kurimu: What did you think of the manga version of "Seitokai no Ichizon"?
Minatsu: Not enough violence! Mafuyu: I didn't get any good parts.
Kurimu: I was talking to the readers. Kurimu: Don't worry. This was just trying it out! There will be plenty more violence and chances to show off in the real thing.
Kurimu: And with that... Kurimu: "Seitokai no Ichizon" is serialized in the monthly magazine, Dragon Age.
Kurimu: From the manga version, we would like to say... All: Hello.
Sugisaki: Hello.https://mangahelpers.com/t/js06/releases/18087[English] [Translation] Seitokai no Ichizon 4 by js062009-12-05T03:22:18+00:00js06admin@mangahelpers.com

Chapter 04
121
Title: episode 4 You only tell people who won't try even if you do that they can do it if they try...
122
White text above Kurimu: I am the president. Black text above Kurimu: Heh heh heh
Chizuru: What are you doing, Aka-chan?
Kurimu: Heh hehn. Well, I'm... Kurimu: Hey, why are you hugging me all of a sudden!? Chizuru: Oh, don't mind me. Chizuru: Go on.
Kurimu: I get the feeling that I'd be assaulted if you had been born a boy, Chizuru... Text above Chizuru: Oh Chizuru: That's not true.
Kurimu: S-sorry. I said too much.
123
Chizuru: Even as a girl assaulting you is a piece of cake! Kurimu: Wait. Kurimu: Chizuru!?
Kurimu: Helllp meeee! Top SFX: *squirm* *squirm* 2nd from top SFX: *squeeze* *squeeze* 2nd from bottom SFX: *caress* *caress* Bottom SFX: *grope*
Chizuru: See? A piece of cake.
Chizuru: So what were you doing? Kurimu: Oh, yeah.
124
Kurimu: Tah dah! I made a poster for the election! Chizuru: ...Oh.
Kurimu: What's with that look of complete disinterest!? Chizuru: Well, it's pretty much a sure thing that you'll get student council president, Aka-chan.
Kurimu: Why do you think that?
Chizuru: The voters decide on who they'll vote for during their school life leading up to the election in the latter half of April, right? Chizuru: We were chosen as members of the student council last year, too. We've had a lot more chances to have our faces seen by the whole school than other kids. Chizuru: And your behavior makes you stand out more than a normal student...
125
Chizuru: Thinking about it objectively, it's pretty obvious we'll get chosen to be on the student council again, right? Kurimu: No!
Kurimu: You're too naive, Chizuru!
Kurimu: First years vote right after they enter the school. Kurimu: So we need to promote ourselves to those boys and girls who don't know anything about us!
Chizuru: I know that, but the newspaper club puts out special edition on the girl's to watch for right before the election every year. Chizuru: That works well enough to promote us, so I don't think you have to go out of your way and do anything yourself... Text left of the picture of Minatsu above the left bubble: Shiina Minatsu-san Text on left of cover: Pre-Election School-Wide Survey Right of cover: 2008 Special Edition: Girls to Keep an Eye On Sash on cover: 2007 Student Council President Bottom of cover: Special Article: Last Year's Student Council President
126
Chizuru: In the end, even if there are a few girls who stand out among the first years... Chizuru: assuming that no one tries to get in through the excellence method, which they usually don't, Chizuru: most of last year's members should continue on.
Box: Come to think of it...This year, he's trying for the excellence method.
Text right of Chizuru: Tee hee
Kurimu: What is it, Chizuru? Chizuru: Nothing.
127
Chizuru: Anyway, Aka-chan. Chizuru: Even if you want to appeal yourself to the first years, the newspaper club is putting that out, so there's no point in you...
Chizuru: Come to think of it...
Box: Last year, the president of the newspaper club found a certain failure of Aka-chan's hilarious and ran a special article on it, so they don't get along. Text left of Kurimu: Ahh, she pisses me off!
Chizuru: You don't want to leave this to the newspaper club, do you? Kurimu: No, I don't! Text left of Kurimu: Hmph
128
Kurimu: I don't want people to decide based on that newspaper, so I'll make my own poster and hang it up in the hallway in front of the first year classroom!
Chizuru: Well, if you want to do that, you're free to do so. Chizuru: It's not like it'll bother anyone...
Kurimu: I'm gonna do it! I'm so gonna do it!!
Kurimu: So help me, Chizuru! Chizuru: She's bringing me in right after saying that!?
Kurimu: Okay!? Chizuru: ...Okay. Chizuru: Well, this looks like fun, so I'll go along with it.
129
Kurimu: Just now, I was coming up with a design.
Kurimu: I'll be changing the drawing to a picture later, but I got Mashiro-kun who's good at drawing to draw it so it's easy to imagine. Isn't it realistic looking? Text right of "Takagi": You worked all the way until daybreak, didn't you? Text above: "Mashiro": I'm done for... Chizuru: Ah... There was victim before I even got here...
Kurimu: So look!! Kurimu: This is the plan for my campaign poster!!
Kurimu: First is me standing in a melancholic pose! Chizuru: Those breasts are packed full of lies!! Chizuru: This girl is darker than I thought she was if she's willing to out and out trick people on a poster for a popularity contest.
Kurimu: The background is a clear, blue sky! Chizuru: Why a blue sky!? Chizuru: I don't understand why you would be melancholy under a blue sky.
Kurimu: And next to me is - tah dah! - my famous line! Text on poster: I will become the god of the new world! Chizuru: You can't aim for any higher than that!! Chizuru: But that isn't your famous line, Aka-chan; it's Ya****-kun's.
130
Kurimu: And above me is the party I'm affiliated with. Text on poster: Independent Chizuru: If you're independent, you don't have to write it so big. Text right of last bubble: It looks more like you're saying you're not in any clubs than specifying your political party...
Kurimu: And below me is the stereotypical phrase! Text on poster: Vot for me! Chizuru: The meaning is clear enough, but that typo is a bit regrettable. How am I supposed to read this?
Chizuru: Those are the comments I want to make! Chizuru: I want to make fun of every part of it. Chizuru: But...
Kurimu: What do you think!? Chizuru: (If you were going for amusing) It's perfect, Aka-chan. I have nothing to tell you!
Kurimu: I know, I know! All that's left is to get my picture taken and edit it together!
131
Chizuru: Speaking of that, can you do something as technical as photo-editing? Kurimu: Don't you know, Chizuru?
Kurimu: My parents always tell me that I can do anything if I try! Kurimu: So it'll be simple even without any technical knowledge.
Kurimu: Cause I can do it if I try! Chizuru: That's right. You can do it if I try! Now go do it! Chizuru: And make a poster that'll make me laugh.
Kurimu: Yeah, I'll do my best. Chizuru: That's usually something you say to people who won't try even if you do...
Kurimu: Now that that's decided, let's go take over the computer lab! Chizuru: I think I should sit out for that... Text around Chizuru: I'm not good at going easy on people.
132
Kurimu: Mh! The lunch break is almost over. We'll just have to do the rest after school, Chizuru! Chizuru: You definitely seem sure I'm going to stay and help you with this.
Kurimu: The two of us will edit together a wonderful poster! Chizuru: That's right.
Kurimu: After we're done, the first years won't be able to keep their eyes off me. Text left of Kurimu: Hee hee hee Chizuru: Yes, that's true. (For more than one reason.)
Kurimu: And I will of course become the new student council president. Chizuru: ...That's right. Chizuru: (No one could pass up a chance to vote for someone as interesting as her.)
Kurimu: Ah...but...
133
Kurimu: What if there's a really, really cute girl among the first years? Chizuru: Good point.
Chizuru: Minatsu's little sister is starting this year. Kurimu: Oh, yeah. She did say that.
Kurimu: But it's fine. If she's Minatsu's sister... Minatsu: I'm hot-blooded and ready to go! Kurimu: she'll be something like that.
Chizuru: It doesn't sound like it. I remember hearing her say that she's afraid of boys and introverted. Kurimu: Mmh!
Chizuru: I'm pretty sure you heard her say that too, though.
134
Kurimu: I may have a new rival. Chizuru: True...
Chizuru: I haven't met her, but if she's Minatsu's sister, she must have a good-looking face.
Chizuru: I think she said her name was...Mafuyu. Kurimu: Minatsu's sister...I need to check her out. In notebook: Rival: Shiina Mafuyu Chizuru: Well, a first year isn't going to become the student council president all of a sudden.
Kurimu: Shiina Mafuyu...
Kurimu: I won't let you have the seat of god!
135
Kurimu: I am...
Mafuyu: A...
Kurimu: the student council president!
Mafuyu: Achoo!
Mafuyu: It may be spring, but it's still chilly...
Kurimu: Now that that's decided, I'll update the poster! Chizuru: She's getting all worked up by herself again...
Chizuru: That's one of the reasons I never get bored of hanging around with her.
Kurimu: And...there! Chizuru: But with this... Chizuru: Aka-chan may be smiling... Chizuru: but now she's gotten this Mafuyu girl who she's never even seen wrapped up in this.
Left text on poster: I will become the god of Right text on poster: A tropical girl who won't lose to the winter. [TN: The "fuyu" in "Mafuyu" means winter.]
136
Chizuru: Hoo...
Chizuru: I'll lead her to the right path like usual. Chizuru: I'll turn this into a poster she can actually show people. Chizuru: I guess I have no choice.
Kurimu: Did you say something? Chizuru: No.
Kurimu: The election sure is fun.
Chizuru: Yes...it truly is.
Box: There are no ends of worries about this year, but it looks like it won't be a boring year.https://mangahelpers.com/t/js06/releases/16948[English] [Translation] Seitokai no Ichizon 3 by js062009-10-19T19:10:09+00:00js06admin@mangahelpers.com

Chapter 03
89
Box: This is the story of the sweat and tears filled youth of the student council members who struggle night and day for the peace and safety of the school. Text under box: Third Year Student Council Text on the left: Reform
Sugisaki: What's this? Sakurano: Good job noticing it, Sugisaki. Sugisaki: Well, with something that big, I'd worry about anyone who didn't notice it. [TN: The text on the wall is the same as in the box in the previous panel.]
Sakurano: This is a secret plan to make sure the readers don't make any misunderstandings about us. Sugisaki: Misunderstandings?
Sakurano: People who already know about us aren't a problem, but... Sakurano: Well...coincidentally, the contents of the first two chapters was just us eating. Sakurano: People who don't know us might think that we're just a bunch of horrible kids who don't do any work and just mess around. Sugisaki: Well, most of what you do is eat.
Sakurano: Usually we're super busy with work for the sake of the students. Sugisaki: Who are you talking to?
90
Title: episode. 3 What's truly scary isn't ghosts or monsters! It's us humans!
91
Sakurano: And so today we have to do our best to show off our good points. Sugisaki: I see...
Sugisaki: But we don't really have any work we need to do today. Minatsu: And we don't have anything we need to discuss either. Sakurano: We can't just be passive about things, you two.
Sakurano: We're here in order to meet the expectations of the students, so we have to bring about reform in the school ourselves!
Sakurano: Right, Chizuru? Chizuru: That's right, Aka-chan. (For once) you just said something really good.
Sakurano: Didn't I, though? Sakurano: Praise me some more. Text left of Chizuru: Good job, good job. Text left of Sakurano: Eheh... Text right of Sugisaki: That must be nice...
92
Chizuru: So what are we going to do today, Miss President?
Sakurano: This! On board: Today's Business "Ghost Stories are Running Too Rampant" Sugisaki: Ghost stories?
Sakurano: That's right. Lately, rumors like the seven mysteries of the school are being spread around the school as if they were true. Minatsu: The seven mysteries are...those, right? The ones where if you learn of all 7 of them, you'll be cursed... Chizuru: Probably.
Minatsu: What's wrong with the seven mysteries? Minatsu: They're the standard subject of discussion at this time of year.
Sakurano: That's the problem! Sakurano: Because they're the standard, the people who don't like that kind of thing end up hearing them. Girl1: And then in the music room... Girl2: Wait... Girl2: Stop this. Okay? Okay? Girl3: My friend also said that... Sugisaki: That's true.
93
Sugisaki: I have no interest in rumors but I somehow know of 21 of them.
Sakurano: That's 7 x 3 so... Sakurano: That's overkill! That's not just Sugisaki. Now 2 unrelated people have gotten wrapped up in this!
Sugisaki: Quit exaggerating.
Sakurano: No. This has gotten urgent. We have to do something immediately. Sugisaki: Why is she so enthusiastic about this? Minatsu: Who knows.
Sugisaki: Aren't people of her stature usually pretty easily scared by this kind of thing?
Minatsu: Let's see... Minatsu: I'll test her.
94
Minatsu: Hey, hey! Sakurano: Yes, Minatsu? Minatsu: Have you heard this story, president?
Minatsu: It's a story about a girl who went into the girls' bathroom.
Sakurano: Wh-why are you telling a story all of a sudden? Don't digress from the topic at hand. Minatsu: I'm not digressing. To deal with it we need to know all the details, right? Sakurano: W-well...
Sakurano: A-anyway, I don't need to hear it!!
Sugisaki: As I thought...
Minatsu: This...
Chizuru: Reaction...
Mafuyu: Means...!!
All: We've found some interesting material!
95
Chizuru: Minatsu's right. Chizuru: First we need to confirm and investigate each and every one of the ghost stories.
Sugisaki: We should tell the different stories we know now.
Mafuyu: I...think that's a good idea, too.
Sakurano: W-wait a second, you all... Sugisaki: Oh? Are you scared, president? Chizuru: She couldn't be, Ki-kun.
Chizuru: She's the great student council president, right? There's no way she'd be scared by something like a ghost story. Minatsu: That's right, that's right. No one's afraid of ghost stories at her age. Mafuyu: I love scary stories, too...I have ever since I was in elementary school.
Sakurano: There's no way an adult like myself would be afraid of ghost stories! Sakurano: F-fine! Let's do this! Sugisaki: We got her!!
96
Chizuru: In that case... SFX: *clap clap*
Sakurano: B-but we don't have much time, so everyone only tells one story... Sakurano: Hnyah!?
Sakurano: What? Sakurano: What's going on?
Guy: Ane-san, when you're done we'll take care of it, so call us again then. Chizuru: Okay, thank you.
Sugisaki: ...Who are they? Guys: We are the strongest. Guys: And will come running whenever Ane-san calls for us. Box: Members of the Hekiyou Academy Public Works Research Society Chizuru: Bringing tatami mats and this other stuff to the room...
Chizuru: really gives us the proper setting, doesn't it? Text left of Chizuru: C'mon...let's get started. Minatsu: ...Can we include her in the seven mysteries of the school?
97
Minatsu: Okay, I'll go first. Minatsu: I'm gonna do it with feeling, so prepare yourselves.
Minatsu: There are no knives in this school's home ec room. Minatsu: Do you know why that is? Minatsu: Yes, it's true that they're kept in a cupboard in the home ec supply room.
Minatsu: But think about it. Minatsu: Below the counter, there's a storage place for them. Minatsu: Normally, it would be fine to just keep them there.
Minatsu: We usually use them when practicing preparing food, so having to prepare them each time is a pain, right? Minatsu: So why are they in the storage room?
Minatsu: It's because of a tragedy that occurred because there were knives in the home ec room...
98
Minatsu: Long ago...there was a certain girl... Minatsu: Her height and build were poor but she had a really cute face. Text left of "Sakurano": Flat Chest Sakurano: Huh? That character sounds really friendly.
Minatsu: For now we'll call her Kurimu-chan. Sakurano: It was me!?
Minatsu: One day, she forgot something at school.
Sakurano: I really need it for tomorrow...
Minatsu: She was afraid of the school at night... Minatsu: but this had happened many times before, so she'd gotten used to it. Minatsu: Kurimu-chan went to get the object from school...
Minatsu: And the next day...
99
Minatsu: Her cold body was found. Sakurano: Ee!!
Minatsu: Kurimu-chan died in the home ec room. Minatsu: She had been repeatedly stabbed. Sakurano: Now I wish you hadn't named her Kurimu-chan...
Minatsu: The criminal was soon caught. Minatsu: He was a pervert who had been appearing in the area at that time.
Minatsu: He was just gloating to himself about managing to sneak into the school when Kurimu-chan ran into him.
Sugisaki: Huh!? When did this turn into a murder mystery? Text left of bubble: That face is the one from Con*n, right!?
Sakurano: Someone!! Minatsu: And she was now his prey. Sugisaki: You ignored me!?

Minatsu: Of course, Kurimu-chan ran away...but he chased after her. Minatsu: In the end, she was cornered in the home ec room. Sakurano: Haa Sakurano: Haa
Minatsu: The man noticed that it was the home ec room... Sign: Home Economics Room
Minatsu: Took the knife from the area under the counter...
Sakurano: Wh-what? That's it? Sakurano: A-a simple story of a murder in the past making them move where the knives are kept isn't going to...
Minatsu: No, president. That wasn't the direct reason the knives were moved to the supply room. Sakurano: Eh?
Minatsu: There's more to the story. Minatsu: Something happened after that incident. Minatsu: That's right...
Minatsu: After the incident, a student who stayed in the home ec room after school died. Minatsu: And this time...
102
Minatsu: She was found with every knife in the home ec room in her.
Sakurano: A-and the person who did it...? Minatsu: Isn't it obvious? Minatsu: It was...
Sakurano: It was...?
Minatsu: You!! Sakurano: Eee!!
103
Text above Mafuyu: It came out... Text above Chizuru: Yup, it did.
Text right of Sugisaki: Oh...She's coming back.
Sakurano: Wh-what do you mean? Sakurano: I couldn't be the one who did it. Sakurano: Don't joke around. Minatsu: No, no. That's not what I meant.
Minatsu: I meant that the person who did it was Kurimu-chan. That's right... Minatsu: It was Kurimu-chan's ghost...
Minatsu: The death was not something a human could have done. Minatsu: She was stabbed all over her body pretty much at once. Minatsu: It was almost as if the knives were floating in the air and all came at her at once...
104
Minatsu: It was after that.... Minatsu: that they stopped keeping the knives in the home ec room and moved them to the supply room...
Minatsu: President. Minatsu: Be careful when going home late from working on student council work.
Minatsu: If someone happened to leave a knife in the home ec room after class... Minatsu: and you happened to enter the home ec room...
Minatsu: you might lose your life.
105
Minatsu: How was that, president? Minatsu: ...Wait, huh?
Sakurano: Th... Sakurano: That...wasn't scary at all. Text left of Chizuru: Aka-chan...You're not convincing anyone. Sakurano: That was just boring gossip.
Minatsu: Oh, that's too bad. Minatsu: Oh, but don't worry. Mafuyu's ghost story is dozens of times scarier than mine.
Mafuyu: I guess I have some expectations to live up to. Mafuyu: I'll tell you the best scary story I have. Sakurano: Eh?
Sakurano: Mafuyu-chan, you don't have to...
SFX left of Mafuyu: *smile* SFX over Sakurano: *jump*
Mafuyu: This actually happened 6 years ago... Sakurano: Eeeee!!
106
Box: And the president was told a ghost story by Minatsu, Mafuyu-chan, and Chizuru-san. Sakurano: Uh... Sakurano: Uuh....
Minatsu: You look pretty scared, president. Mafuyu: I think anything we say now would scare her.
Chizuru: Okay, Ki-kun. Finish this off. Sugisaki: Heh heh heh. Leave it to me.
Sugisaki: Once upon a time...there was a girl named Kurimu-chan. Sugisaki: She worked as a maid for a boy named Sugisaki Ken. She served him all her life with her body and soul. Sugisaki: The end. Text left of maid Sakurano: I'll service you well with my body today. Sakurano: Nooooo!
107
Sugisaki: That was a nice reaction, but let's go a little further.
Sugisaki: The school swimsuit Kurimu-chan used in elementary school... Sugisaki: still fits now that she's in her third year of high school. Sakurano: Kyaaaah!
Sugisaki: Kurimu-chan's prayers were in vain and her measurements didn't increase at all. Sakurano: Noooo!
Sugisaki: Sugisaki Ken licked all over Kurimu-chan's toothbrush and then secretly put it back where it was. Sakurano: Waaaaah!
Sugisaki: Ahh, I really scared her. I really scared her. Others: Is this really okay?
108
Sugisaki: But all of you really do love scary stories. Sugisaki: Even though being scared is definitely a negative feeling. Text under the panel: The desk was put back in its place.
Chizuru: It's the same thing as getting a thrill. Text right of Chizuru: Like bungee jumping. Chizuru: It's like being able to enjoy danger while guaranteeing your safety.
Sugisaki: But you can't say you'll always be safe. Because of the way the world is, it can't be helped that the people who enjoy it will be called abnormal. Sugisaki: Since everyone naturally enjoys it, no one says anything, but isn't it really twisted in a way?
Minatsu: Well, I guess you could think of it that way... Mafuyu: Thinking of it that way, the way this school is right now is scary in and of itself.
109
Mafuyu: If the mentality of enjoying scary stories is abnormal, then this school is... Mafuyu: No, this entire world is a community filled with abnormal people. Mafuyu: Thinking about it that way, it really is a scary thing.
Minatsu: S-stop thinking like that.
Mafuyu: I love scary stories, but I can't explain why I do. Mafuyu: That might be an unexplainable scary thing in and of itself.
All: Hmm...
110
Box: The conclusion reached from today's discussion. Text: It's impossible to stop the circulation of scary stories.
Sakurano: *sigh*
Sugisaki: Do you think we overdid it...? Minatsu: Maybe...People who don't like scary stories really don't like them. Text right of Sakurano: *sigh*...
Sugisaki: A way to stop scary stories, huh...?
111
Box: A few days later. Text above cat: Nyaah.
Sakurano: For some reason people stopped telling ghost stories in my class all of a sudden. Sakurano: This is another result of the popularity of the student council!
Chizuru: Come to think of it, I haven't heard any either. Chizuru: Why did it calm down like this?
Sugisaki: Calm down...huh?
Mafuyu: What is it? Sugisaki: Oh...nothing. Sugisaki: It was probably due to the new rumors that started spreading the day after our discussion.
Sugisaki: That's right. Due to two rumors...
112
Sugisaki: The first was a ghost story about the "Revival of Ghost Stories".
Girl1: Have you heard the story about the bathroom in the 2nd year building?
Girl2: Wait. Stop it with these stories. Girl2: I don't like them. Girl1: Do you have no courage in those giant breasts of yours? Girl2: No sexual harassment either!!
Girl1: What are you afraid of? It's just a fictional story. Girl2: Shut up. Text right of girl2: Don't poke me. Girl1: What's scary about it?
Girl2: I know...But if I don't want the slightest chance of getting "cursed".
Girl1: Are you talking about the story about the seven mysteries? Text left of girl2: Mh.... Text left of girl1: You baby.
Girl1: I know of at least 50 stories about this science room alone. Like the moving skeleton, the moving specimen, and the specimen that peels off your skin. Girl1: But, as you can see, there's nothing here. Skeleton: Ka ka
113
Girl2: Did...you just hear a weird noise?
Girl2: Wait, Yuka...You're not thinking anything weird are you? Girl1: Not really...
Girl2: Wait, stop... Girl1: Stop what?
Girl1: Could that have been the sound of the skeleton laughing? Girl1: I've heard the story of the moving skeleton in the science room. Girl2: Don't say creepy things.
114
Girl2: C'mon, stop this. Girl2: This is creepy.
Girl1: Okay. Girl1: We're done cleaning. Let's put away the brooms and leave.
Skeleton: Ka ka
Girl2: Ah...
Girl2: It's really moving.... Text around skeleton: Ka ka ka ka ka Girl2: R...
115
Girl2: Run! Girl2: Something bad is sure to happen if we stay here.
Girl1: Saya... Girl2: Yuka!?
Girl1: This is weird....I can't move my body.
Girl1: Hyah! Girl2: Yuka!!
Girl1: No... Girl1: Help me.
SFX: *slam*
116
Girl2: Yuka. Girl2: Yuka!!
Girl2: Yu...
Girl2: N...
Girl2: Noooo! Sugisaki: It said that you really would get cursed if you learned of all seven of the mysteries and, like the other stories, it evolved. Sugisaki: The disaster that would befall you because of the curse was the "Revival of the Ghost Stories".
117
Sugisaki: It was a curse that would revive all the ghost stories one knew. Sugisaki: The more you knew, the stronger the curse would be and eventually it would be strong enough to take your life. Sugisaki: That was the new ghost story that I made up.
Sugisaki: I created a new one of the seven mysteries that would be convenient for the president because it would make those even slightly afraid less likely to tell the stories. Sugisaki: A lot of people must have actually been afraid. Sugisaki: The ghost story boom practically disappeared.
Sugisaki: But I think it wasn't just because of my ghost story. It had a large part to do with the other rumor. Sugisaki: The other rumor was not one I started. Sugisaki: It was something I heard partway through spreading my rumor.
Sugisaki: It was a rumor about a female student who went around exterminating spirits.
118
Sugisaki: That girl...
Sugisaki: would appear in every story.
Girl: Nooo!
Sugisaki: And every time it was right at the climax.
119
Mysterious Girl: Are you injured? Girl: N-no.
Mysterious Girl: Oh, spirit of the dead that loathes the living. Mysterious Girl: I shall lead you to paradise.
Sugisaki: She always exterminated... Mysterious Girl: So you're over there...
Sugisaki: the spirit that caused the incident.
120
Sugisaki: By changing the stories from being about ghosts to being about action stories about defeating the ghosts... Sugisaki: that rumor did exactly the opposite of what mine did. It destroyed the ghost stories themselves. And it was clearly created to stop the ghost stories from being spread around. Sugisaki: Thinking of when the story was created and when the rumor started to spread, the one who created it had to have been...
Sugisaki: So why was the girl in the story wearing a parka? Minatsu: Ah? Minatsu: That's because if her face was unknown she had the feeling of the mysterious hero and that's always cool. Sugisaki: You sure are picky.
Minatsu: But in the middle of saving a student, that student saw her face. And after many twists and turns... Minatsu: the information reaches an organization after the power to fight demons and it turns into a person vs. person battle story... Sugisaki: It's a continuing story!?https://mangahelpers.com/t/js06/releases/16408[English] [Translation] Seitokai no Ichizon 2 by js062009-09-28T01:39:12+00:00js06admin@mangahelpers.com

43
Cashier: With 3 items, your total is 1020 yen.
Cashier: But with a purchase of over 1000 yen, you can get a special price on this book. Would you like it as well?
Sugisaki: What's with this fast food restaurant like combo recommendation? Sugisaki: But well, you're always smiling when you ring up my stuff, so I'll gladly buy it.... Sugisaki: Hm?
Sugisaki: Seitokai no...Ichizon?
44
Title: episode. 2 Don't write it with your head! Write it with your heart!
45
Sugisaki: Emergency, emergency!
Sakurano: What are you so flustered about, Sugisaki?
46
Sugisaki: P-president! What's with this novel called "Seitokai no Ichizon"!?
Sakurano: Hee hee hee. It's a mass-market paperback novel we got Fujimi Shobo to publish in order to let more people know about the student council's excellence and wonderfulness. Text left of Sugisaki: But when did...? Sakurano: It's a shame we weren't allowed to distribute it around the school after you worked so hard on it! Sugisaki: Huh? Sugisaki: I...worked so hard?
Sakurano: I'd heard from Chizuru that she had you write the novel... Sugisaki: How could I not know about something I did!?
47
Chizuru: Could you have no memories left of when I manipulated you into writing it? Sugisaki: Manipulated!?
Chizuru: Ki-kun, recall your true memories...
48
Sakurano: Wait!? Sugisaki!?
Sugisaki: I remember...
Sugisaki: That's right. I am the author.
49
Sugisaki: So how did... Sakurano: Don't ask that. Sakurano: The next deadline is coming up, so you need to write.
Sugisaki: Are you telling me to stay up all night again!? Sakurano: That's today's topic of discussion! Sugisaki: Damn it. Listen when people are talking to you!
On board: Get more and more people to know about it!! Sakurano: What should we do in order to get more people to realize... Sakurano: the wonderfulness of the student council?
50
Sakurano: I've thought about it and I think the best method would be to make a book that I would want to read.
Sakurano: When I read a book, I cry and laugh and get passionate. Sakurano: I think we should share that feeling with others. Sakurano: So if we put out a book that leaves those feelings in everyone's heart... Sakurano: it'll go from person to person...
Sakurano: and one day those feelings and knowledge of the student council will be known... Sakurano: by the young and the old, boys and girls...no, by everyone in Japan.
51
Sugisaki: Great idea, president! I really love how you are so forward thinking. Sugisaki: You've moved me a little.
Sakurano: Th-that's right! Sakurano: Now then, Sugisaki! Get to writing a story that will move me!
Sugisaki: Okay. Sugisaki: I don't know how good I can do, so I'd like some help.
52
Sugisaki: Stop! What do you get from doing this!? Sugisaki: Answer me, banchou!
Banchou: Vice President...
Banchou: Your student council really helped us out this time. Banchou: But we're not going to listen to what you're asking us. Banchou: We may be a group of trash...but we're comrades. Banchou: We're family.
Banchou: And this guy forced one of our family members to death. Guy: E-eee
53
Banchou: Making him pay for that... Banchou: is something I have to do no matter what!!
Sugisaki: Stoooooop!!
54
Sugisaki: Pr...
Sugisaki: President!
55
Banchou: Why!?
Banchou: There shouldn't have been any need for you to come out for this. Sakurano: I had to.
Sakurano: Stopping you is what Kazuma-kun would have wanted.
Banchou: He died alone embracing malice and hate! Banchou: So we're carrying out his revenge for him!
Sakurano: Why do you think he went to his death without telling anyone...?
56
Sakurano: It was because he didn't want you to sully your hands... Sakurano: He didn't want to drag his precious family into all this.
Sakurano: So...leave the rest to me. I'll deal with it.
Banchou: President...Why are you going so far for us...?
Sakurano: Because just as he was to you...
57
Sakurano: Kazuma-kun was a precious family member to me, too.
Sugisaki: Every student is part of her family with no discrimination...huh? Sugisaki: She sure is generous. Sugisaki: This school....no, all of Japan needs her.
58
Sakurano: Great job!, Sugisaki. We can get Ultra with this! Text beneath panel: A print out
Sugisaki: What do you mean "Ultra". Geez... Sugisaki: I may have overdone things in order to stir things up. Sakurano: Isn't it a little too dramatic? Small text in the left of Sakurano's bubble: Tee hee
Minatsu: No, this is way beyond the level of dramatic! Minatsu: This never happened! This depiction of the president is completely fictitious. Mafuyu: And our school doesn't have a banchou.
Minatsu: No, we have one. Mafuyu: Eh?
59
Minatsu: But...at this level, we're a long way off from what can be called entertainment. Sakurano: What!? Minatsu: You don't know what's needed to make a light novel. Minatsu: In order to get a work known, the author has to make some concessions.
Minatsu: Leave this to me. I've been reading Dragon Magazine and Dragon Age since I was a little girl! Mafuyu: Onee-chan, Dragon Age has only been running for 5 years. Text right of Mafuyu: And before Age it was known as Comic Dragon. Minatsu: If you worry about such little things, you'll go bald, my little sister. Text left of Mafuyu: Bald...?
Minatsu: On that note, Ken! Write based on my suggestion this time! Sugisaki: Fine, fine. So what should I write if I'm targeting light novel readers?
Minatsu: Heh heh. That's obvious!
60
Minatsu: A nice punch...
Guy: Guoh...
61
Guy: I thought your powers were laughable...but that was a most wonderful battle, "Chicken Chicken"... Guy: I was a bad match for your "Gorioshi". [TN: Gorioshi means to "push through", but the kanji used means "strong service" which is referencing how Sugisaki does all the student council work.]
Guy: You're a crafty man...but you are fitting to be the one who stands above me...
Sugisaki: Will you accept our demand? Guy: Yes. We of the Fiend School will join the Keyboard Alliance.
Sugisaki: Thanks. Sugisaki: Now all the mainland schools can prepare for the invasion...
62
Guy: Guah...
Sugisaki: What...?
63
Sugisaki: What the hell is this!?
Minatsu: Get ready, Ken. Minatsu: We're lucky they made there move first, but... Minatsu: it looks like the fish we caught is a big one.
64
Guy: You...are... Echo: Oh...You're still alive after taking my attack...Most impressive. Guy: Why...are you here...?
Echo: It looks like my princess's sister is deeply jealous and doesn't want to let anyone have her.
65
Echo: But...Ken. I didn't expect for you to be with her... Sugisaki (thought): This feeling... Sugisaki: You...know me? Sugisaki (thought): I... Sugisaki (thought): know this man.
Echo: You've forgotten me?...No, perhaps your memories have been sealed.
Echo: Perhaps it was to keep you from awakening....That sounds like something those old men would do. Echo: So, I...
66
Echo: My, my... Echo: I was talking...how rude.
Sugisaki: What...?
Echo: Don't worry. I won't hurt him. Echo: Not today, anyway.
67
Sugisaki: Who are you...?
Echo: Etch this name into your heart. Echo: I am the first person to transcend humanity.
Echo: I am Echo of Death, your older brother.
68
Sugisaki: The title of this novel is "Seitokai no Ichizon"! This has nothing to do with the student council! Minatsu: What if we make it about a student council that chooses the thorny path of becoming the great leader that governs over all schools to create a world without conflict? Sugisaki: Are you trying to say that this is fine as it is!? It's wrong to think you'll find peace at the end of a path of violence!
Mafuyu: Th-that's right, onee-chan. The theme being written about now is "Love and Peace". Text around Mafuyu: Insistence
Minatsu: But I thought the idea of "Echo of Death" was on the right track...
Mafuyu: On that note, senpai... Could you...write the plot that I came up with? Sugisaki: Okay, I'm sure the plot you've come up with will be a good one, Mafuyu-chan.
69
Sugisaki: Wait, nii-san!
Echo: Forget about me. Echo: Our relationship is no longer what it was. Echo: We are no longer together...
Sugisaki: I know that.
Sugisaki: And yet, I...
70
Sugisaki: My feelings haven't changed! No, they're much, much greater than they were... Sugisaki: So!
Echo: Ken...
Echo: You'll be walking down a painful path.
Sugisaki: That's fine. Sugisaki: If I'm with you, I can withstand it. No matter how painful it is.
71
Sugisaki: Because there's nothing more painful to me than not having you by my side.
Echo: Don't regret this.
Echo: Because I'll never let you go again... Sugisaki: Echo of Death-niisan.
72
Sugisaki: What the hell kind of development is that!? Sugisaki: The main character has the same name as me, but I can't understand his motivation at all!
Mafuyu: The way you waited until after writing it to say that shows that, surprisingly, you have the makings of a great comedian, senpai! Sugisaki: What's surprising is that you're into that kind of thing, Mafuyu-chan!!
Mafuyu: Hot guy x Hot guy...Isn't it wonderful? Sugisaki: In this world, you can't just add two good things together. It doesn't always end up as something good...
Sugisaki: Wait!? You just called me a hot guy, didn't you? So that's how you think of me?
73
Mafuyu: I would think you were absolutely wonderful if you wrote the bedroom scene.
Sugisaki: S-so cute!
Sugisaki: But I mustn't be tricked. This is just an act to get me to write it.
Sugisaki: I know that. Sugisaki: I know that, but my body's acting on its own!
74
Sugisaki: He's changed a lot since I last saw him...
75
Sugisaki: But his face while sleeping hasn't changed a bit...
Sugisaki: Ah, sorry. Did I wake you, Echo of Death-niisan!? Echo: It wasn't that.... Sugisaki: Eh?
Echo: There's something hard touching me down below... Sugisaki: I-I'm sorry!!
76
Echo: It's fine...It's only like that...
Echo: because of how you feel about me, right?
Echo: I want to make you feel such passion even more. Sugisaki: N-Nii-san.
77
Mafuyu: Thank you, senpai. Text left of Minatsu: Wow... Mafuyu: I'll treasure this. Chizuru: Ki-kun...This is... Text left of Sakurano: What, what? Sugisaki: Don't look at me. Don't look at me like that! I'm unclean!
Chizuru: Calm down. I know that was scary and hard for you. Chizuru: But it'll all be okay. Sugisaki: Chizuru-san, I...
Chizuru: Because you were already about as unclean as you could be beforehand. Minatsu: Ah. You broke his mind.
Sakurano: A chance!!
78
Sakurano: Ladies and gentlemen. Sakurano: I wish for this academy to be one of peace.
Sakurano: Do you wish for an academy overflowing with kindness and respect? Sakurano: Do you wish for an academy teaching you the finest in literary and military arts and with no illicit sexual conduct?
Text repeated around crowd: President
Sakurano: Good. Then let's have a general meeting of the students!
79
Sakurano: Hee hee hee...Excellent. It should definitely be a novel about the greatness of the student council president. Chizuru: Aka-chan, no fair. It was my turn.
Chizuru: Hey, Ki-kun. You'll write my plot, too, right? Sugisaki: Heh heh...If it'll free me from this hell, I'll do anything.
Chizuru: Ki-kun...You... Chizuru: have been slacking on your duties for the student council. Sugisaki: I-I'm sorry, Chizuru-san. Chizuru: Chizuru...-san?
80
Chizuru: Refer to me as a princess! Sugisaki: Yes, your majesty!
Chizuru: Hee hee...Good boy.
Sugisaki: Ah...
Chizuru: As a reward I give you permission to lick my boots. Chizuru: C'mon, do it like you always do. Sugisaki: Yes, your majesty!
81
Text left of Sugisaki in 3rd panel: Haa... Haa...
Text left of Sugisaki in last panel: Ahhhh... Chizuru: Oh? Did I completely break him? But we still have some pages left. Sakurano: Hey, Sugisaki? Are you okay!? Chizuru: He's fine. I'll fix him.
82
Chizuru: Ho Sugisaki: Aheh!?
Chizuru: Hmm? Did I do it wrong? Chizuru: Ohohhhh Sugisaki: Poh!
Sugisaki: Ha...What was I just doing!? Chizuru: You don't need to remember. You're the wonderful kind of guy who doesn't look back to the past and only looks forward to the future. Sugisaki: Forward...
Sugisaki: That's right. I still have to write 6 more pages. Umm, from here it'll be...
Text right of Chizuru: Like that. Text above Sakurano: Like this. Text left of Minatsu: That's right. Text left of Mafuyu: How about...
83
Sugisaki: Shut up! Sugisaki: I've been listening to your suggestions this whole time. Now I'm gonna do what I want! Sakurano: Are you going to ignore the president's orders!? Sugisaki: This is a compromise.
Sugisaki: Either let me write what I want from here on or it'll end with the first volume... Sakurano: Kh....Okay, just this once.
Minatsu: Hey, hey, president. If you let him write what he wants... Text right of Sakurano: That's true, but...
Sugisaki: Don't worry, Minatsu. I'm just going to write things how they are. Sugisaki: I want people to know the student council really is.
Sakurano: I guess it can't be helped, Sugisaki...I leave it to you. Sugisaki: Yup, just leave it to me!
84
Mafuyu: No matter what senpai does, it'll be a work of art... Chizuru: Of course. Everything Ki-kun does is perfect. Sakurano: So true...Sugisaki's the best of the student council.
Sugisaki: What have you been discussing, my kittens?
Minatsu: Ken! I can't take it anymore!
Minatsu: You and I...! Sugisaki: Wait now, Minatsu. I love all of you. I can't single any one of you out.
Minatsu: But...I can't stop my feelings of love towards you, Ken. Sugisaki: Hey, now. If you say that...
85
Mafuyu: How can you, onee-chan! Even though you know about my feelings! Minatsu: I'm sorry, Mafuyu. I...can't turn back now. Mafuyu: I...I won't lose to you, onee-chan.
Sugisaki: Chizuru-san.
Chizuru: Ki-kun. Text right of Chizuru: Eye Contact
Chizuru: The truth is, I too love you...So...You and I... Sugisaki: Wait a second. I can't do that, Chizuru-san. That would be unfair. You're not the only one that loves me. Chizuru: But I...I... Sugisaki: You're trembling too much, Chizuru-san. She's going to notice our eye contact.
86
Sakurano: Chizuru and Sugisaki...You two stare at each other like that from time to time. Chizuru: Y-you're reading too much into it, Aka-chan.
Sugisaki: What is it?
Sakurano: What I'm about to tell you...it's an order I'm giving you as president.
Sakurano: Sugisaki...G... Sakurano: Go out with me! Sakurano: Wait a secooooond!?
87
Sakurano: What was with those last two pages? Sugisaki: Eh? I was writing things "as they are". Sakurano: It was all a lie from the very first panel! Text left of last panel: Give me back my moving story!
Sugisaki: What...!? This is way closer to the truth than Echo of Death or Boys' Love. Sakurano: It's way worse than that! Mafuyu: I believe that Boys' Love truly exists in this world. Minatsu: Don't use Echo of Death as your example of that...
Chizuru: Well, there's only 1 page left, so how should we finish it up? Chizuru: The editor's already coming to pick up the manuscript, so we don't have time to redo it.
Minatsu: It's because of what you said, president. Sakurano: But everyone was so onboard with the idea. Text right of Sakurano: Uuuh...
Sugisaki: I know. Sugisaki: I'll put in an ending to give it some cohesion and we can right how things actually are next time. Sakurano: ...Okaaay. Text above Sakurano: Why is it always me...?
88
Door: Gramps, what happened after that? Gramps: Ahh, well, after that... Someone: Door! Quit listening to gramps's old stories that might not even be true and finish up your homework. Door: Okay.
Door: Gramps, I'll come for the continuation later, okay? Gramps: Okay.
Gramps: Might not even be true...huh? Gramps: Well, I am pretty senile...
Gramps: But I believe that all of the vivid memories of those days remaining in my heart are true.
Minatsu: This gives it cohesion? Mafuyu: Who knows. Text left of Minatsu: Indi*** Jones?https://mangahelpers.com/t/js06/releases/15890[English] [Translation] Seitokai no Ichizon 1 by js062009-09-06T19:05:07+00:00js06admin@mangahelpers.com

Chapter 01
01
Box: Hekiyou Private Academy Box: The members of the student council here are decided through what is basically a popularity contest.
Box: Good looking guys tend to get some antipathy from the other guys... Box: but beautiful girls are admired by boys and girls alike. Guy: See ya. Sugisaki: Bye. Box: So you can pretty much be certain that the person chosen to be a student council members will be a cute girl.
Box: And since all the most admired girls end up gathering there... Sugisaki: Yo. Box: Hekiyou Private Academy's Student Council Room became known as...
02-03
Box: Paradise. On sash: Hooray! Seitokai no Ichizon has begun serialization.
04
Sugisaki: Huh?
Sugisaki: Is it just you, president? Sakurano: Chizuru had day duty today.
Sakurano: More importantly, Sugisaki, I understand. Sugisaki: Understand what?
05
Sakurano: This world isn't boring. Sakurano: You've become a boring person. Sugisaki: Has she been influenced by some book again? Sugisaki: But...
Sugisaki: I see. Sugisaki: It's true that nothing ever seems to be as fun as the first time.
Sugisaki: Your first love. Sugisaki: Your first friend. Sugisaki: Your first time breaking the rules. Sugisaki: Your first success. Sugisaki: And...
06
Sugisaki: Your first eroge. Name on eroge (top left corner of text box): Yuka Eroge text: "Um...I... I'm not too confident in my breasts...so...I'm too embarrassed to take off my top...
Sugisaki: Just as fruit loses its flavor as it loses its freshness, as your experiences pile up, you lose that freshness and things start to feel boring. Sugisaki: In other words, "the first time" is a spice needed to enjoy life.
Sugisaki: And thinking along those lines... Sugisaki: Being a virgin isn't that bad a thing after all.
Sakurano: How did you get that out of what I said!? Sugisaki: You're naive, president.
07
Sugisaki: My train of thought always starts off heading in that direction by nature. There's a direct connection in my head. Sakurano: Isn't that what's known as a short circuit? Sakurano: And, Sugisaki, you need to be more aware of your position as vice-president...
Sugisaki: ...I am.
Sugisaki: I'm well aware that this student council is my harem. Sakurano: Before you think about your position as vice-president, you need to get rid of that idea.
Sugisaki: Her name is Sakurano Kurimu. Sakurano: Geez...Sugisaki. Sugisaki: She's the student council president of our school.
08
Sugisaki: She amazingly cute even for someone chosen to be the student council president which is pretty much decided by a beauty contest. Text left of Sakurano: And I had just gotten a refill of tea... Sugisaki: She's short and has a compact stature. Sugisaki: She desperately tries to compensate for that in her speech and actions.
Sugisaki: She always tries so hard even now that she became student council president. Text on sash: I'm the student council president Sugisaki: And she always earnestly strikes back at me and the ridiculous things I say. Sugisaki: All of that adds to her cuteness. Sugisaki: It's like she's "moe" itself.
09
Sugisaki: And that's why I...Sugisaki Ken...
Sugisaki: President? Text left of Sakurano: The left hand merely guides it... Sakurano: Hm? Sakurano: What?
Sugisaki: I love you. Please go out with me. Sakurano: Nyawaah!?
Sakurano: How can you make a confession like that so frivolously!? Sugisaki: Because I'm serious.
10
Sakurano: You're lying!!
Sakurano: Don't tell me you've forgotten what you first said when you showed up here. Sugisaki: Um...
Sugisaki: I'll stop his movements!! Sugisaki: ...was it? Sakurano: What were we fighting with!?
Sugisaki: Then... "Haruhi": I have no interest in normal humans. If there are any aliens, time travelers... Sakurano: Wait! You changed your character and that's dangerous!
"Keroro": We are here to take over the earth. Sakurano: I said we have to stop with that kind of dangerous material!!
11
Sugisaki: I'm just kidding.
Sugisaki: I love you all. I love you so much. If we all go out together, we'll all be happy. Sugisaki: ...is what it was.
Sakurano: That's right. Because of that the student council knows how halfhearted you are about all this! Sakurano: Who's going to be swayed by someone who just comes out with it and says that they want to go out with someone but they don't care who!?
Sugisaki: How rude!! I have no interest in anyone who isn't a "bishoujo". Sakurano: That's not what I'm talking about! Sakurano: By confessing to multiple people, you're being insincere.
Sugisaki: Isn't it better than being the indecisive main character? Sugisaki: Aren't I more of a man by declaring that I'm aiming for the harem route from the get-go?
12
Sakurano: No. Sakurano: Your standpoint and specs are way off for being the main character of a gal game.
Sugisaki: Even though I love girls this much!? Sakurano: How does that make you the main character?
Sakurano: The character who's obsessed with girls is usually the main character's best friend, a side character!
Sugisaki: You know a lot about this. Sakurano: Shut up.
Sugisaki: I see. So I'm being treated like a side character.
Sugisaki: I need to conduct myself a little better.
Sakurano: Sugisaki...
13
Sakurano: Um... Sakurano: Occasionally you can be really thoughtful. Sakurano: You're really kind. At least subconsciously.
Sugisaki: When there's an opening, you get more of a favorable impression that way, right? Sakurano: That's part of your strategy!?
Sugisaki: I do it to get popular with girls and it's gotten to be a bit of a habit. Sugisaki: Just like you said, it's gotten so that I do it pretty much subconsciously.
Sakurano: Th-that's not your usual ero power... Sugisaki: When your destination is the harem route, normal means aren't gonna cut it.
Sakurano: I didn't ask why you needed it. Sugisaki: Does that mean you've already figured it out?
Sakurano: Aah! Chizuru: Ki-kun...
14
Chizuru: Don't tease Aka-chan. Sakurano: Chizuru. Sugisaki: We're not in elementary school. I don't tease the girl I like...
Sugisaki: I just humiliate her.
Sugisaki: Things seem to be worsening. Not many members of my harem are showing up today. Chizuru: It isn't that bad. Chizuru: And it's the student council, not your harem. Box: Secretary Akaba Chizuru
15
Chizuru: And I don't think it really matters. It's not like we have any special events coming up. Writing on board: Recreation
Chizuru: And, lately, when we do come here, we just end up eating snacks and talking. Sugisaki: No!!
Sugisaki: It's true that you can up a girl's impression of you by calling her, but her impression of you won't rise too much unless you actually meet with her, right!?
Sugisaki: In gal games, where you go is decided by the heroine, right? Sugisaki: Even if they just reject you...
Sugisaki: In other words, if they don't come to the student council room, we can't bring about our love! Chizuru: Ahh...
16
Chizuru: So that's why those two aren't coming. Sugisaki: Khhh!
Sugisaki: B-but... Sugisaki: that means you came here to bring about our love, right, Chizuru-san?
Chizuru: Ah...yeah...that must be it. Sugisaki: Ghghh!
Sugisaki: Gwaah!
Sugisaki: Ah, but cool characters like this are always quite intense once they do fall for you.
17
Chizuru: Correct. Chizuru: I'm very intense.
Chizuru: When I was in elementary school, every morning I would give my first love a whole bunch of letters that just said "I love you" over and over again. I cornered him to the point of mental collapse. Chizuru: He was more fragile than I thought, so my love cooled. On letter: I love you. I love you. I love you. [Etc.]
Chizuru: What about you Ki-kun? Sugisaki: Okay. Chizuru: Eh!?
Chizuru: After hearing that story, you're willing to accept all of me?
Sugisaki: I'm...
18
Sugisaki: only aiming for a physical relationship with you, Chizuru-san!!
Chizuru: Okay...onto the next problem...
Sugisaki: Huh? Sugisaki: Chizuru-san...
Sakurano: Mmmm...
19
Sugisaki: President...if you keep eating those, aren't you going to gain weight?
Sakurano: I-it's okay. It'll all go to my height and breasts.
Sakurano: Gh... Sugisaki: Isn't there a pretty big risk of it going to your stomach?
Text left of Sakurano in the panel of just her face: Grrr...
Sakurano: Take this! Chizuru: Ah...
Chizuru: The answer to the next question is... Chizuru: I know. Chizuru: "Metabolic Syndrome".
20
Sugisaki: Don't worry, president. If no one were to take you...
Sakurano: Even if I stopped being a bishoujo... Sakurano: would you still say "I love you" to that fat me?
Sugisaki: You can live through your work. Sakurano: Realistic advice!?
Sakurano: So I'm not worth going out with if I'm fat!? Text left of Sakurano: Wahhhhh Sugisaki: That's just the kind of pep talk I give.
Sakurano: Ahh... Sugisaki: Don't give up!! Fight to remain in my harem!
Sakurano: Ah! For some reason, I'm fine with being fat now.
21
Minatsu: Sorry for being late!
Mafuyu: S-sorry. Chizuru: As usual, we're just chatting, so don't worry about it. Mafuyu: What were you chatting about?
Text left of the cat between the panels: Nyaah
Mafuyu: The world isn't boring; it's you who have become boring...? Chizuru: Yes. Did something happen with you two?
Minatsu: When she was a kid, she would watch our mother do it and longed after it...
Minatsu: When she was in middle school, she bought her own makeup for the first time and was really happy.
Minatsu: But if you think about it, Mafuyu doesn't really like to dress up... Minatsu: Lately she's only been putting on the bare minimum...
Mafuyu: As a girl, that's kind of bad.
Sugisaki: It's perfectly okay. Sugisaki: Mafuyu-chan, you're cute to begin with, so you can get by on your natural beauty. Sugisaki: Just the little bit of makeup is more than enough. Mafuyu: Senpai...
23
Minatsu: Don't seduce my little sister in front of me.
Sugisaki: Jealous? Sugisaki: Don't worry. I'm well aware of your appeal, too.
Minatsu: Huh?
Sugisaki: That's right...You have great appeal in the fact that, if I marry you, Minatsu, then Mafuyu-chan will become my little sister!! Rightmost name on chart: Mafuyu Middle name on chart: Minatsu Leftmost name on chart: Ken
Minatsu: That's just going after Mafuyu!
Minatsu: I've always wondered why you're so... Sugisaki: So she's jealous that I won't look at her... Sugisaki: What a cute girl.
Minatsu: Who the hell would be jealous!? The way you get the wrong impression so intensely is scary! Sugisaki: We've finally achieved telepathy!? I'm so close to winning with her.
Text above Minatsu: I'm gonna kill him... Text above Mafuyu: Calm down.
24
Sugisaki: Ahhh. No matter how many times I see it, this is such a nice view.
Sugisaki: Harems are the best! I'm so glad I entered the student council.
Chizuru: Come to think of it, Ki-kun got here via the excellence method, didn't he? Chizuru: ...Although you'd never know it by looking at him. Minatsu: That's true. No matter how you look at him, he's clearly just a girl-obsessed moron. Sugisaki: I thought my face made me look like I was gifted with both intelligence and looks.
Sakurano: Um...What do you mean by the "excellence method"?
Chizuru: Oh...you don't know? Chizuru: There are two different ways to be chosen for this school's student council.
25
Title of Chart: Student Council Members Heading of right text: Voting Method Right text: Being chosen in the popularity contest whether you were a candidate or not. Since people vote for those they admire in their everyday lives, charismatic students are easily chosen, but this doesn't limit them to people who are good at the things the student council does. Heading of left text: Excellence Method Left text: This system was created to compensate for the flaws in the voting method. If the student who gets the top spot in the end of year exams wants to, he or she may join the student council in the following year. This method can bring in some very talented people, but people who want to use it are rare, so it doesn't come up much.
Sakurano: I don't understand the basis behind these selection methods.
26
Sakurano: It should at least be so that the excellence method isn't just about grades, but also include a evaluation of their mental state. Sakurano: Otherwise, people with ulterior motives like Sugisaki will end up getting in.
Minatsu: Yeah, but there normally wouldn't be anyone willing to get the top place on the exams just to get in the student council. Minatsu: Ken, that's actually impressive.
Sugisaki: If it's for the sake of a community made up of only me and beautiful girls, getting the highest grades is a piece of cake. Sugisaki: Even if I was almost at the bottom when taking the entrance exam.
Mafuyu: Sometimes...Sugisaki-senpai actually seems like an amazing guy. Minatsu: That's a delusion. Open your eyes! Sakurano: That's right! There's nothing to admire in that problem child!!
Sugisaki: A...problem child...huh? Sugisaki: It's true that everyone sees me that way...
27
Sugisaki: Everyone in the student council is so head over heels for me. Sugisaki: It's like I'm a problem child of love!!
Sakurano: Don't be stupid. Your harem hasn't been completed. Text left of Sugisaki: Eh!? Sugisaki: You mean you're the only one who's fallen for me so far!? Sakurano: How rude!! I haven't fallen for you either. Text above Sakurano: And stop making that face
Sugisaki: Th-that can't be. Sugisaki: Then what was that night all about!?
Sakurano: Wh-what are you talking about?
28
Sugisaki: You came calling for me so many times in my dreams. Sakurano: How the hell would I know about that!?
Sugisaki: How cruel. Sugisaki: How could you toy with my pure heart like that? Sakurano: Aren't you the one toying with us!?
Chizuru: Ki-kun, I don't hate you... Chizuru: but if you want to create a harem, wouldn't it be smarter to conduct yourself in a more serious manner?
Sugisaki: Hmm...you may be right.
Sugisaki: But no matter how you try to sugar coat it, I'm just dripping with desire. Text in background: Desire Minatsu: You're disgusting.
29
Sugisaki: What an...excellent tsun.
Sugisaki: Oh, how happy I'll be as I see that tsun slowly change into dere. Minatsu: No one's gonna be dere over you.
Sugisaki: If there's no dere, I'll just have to make one by training you with disgrace!! Minatsu: That's a refreshing level of perversion. Text left of Minatsu: And that wouldn't really be dere.
Sugisaki: But don't worry. Sugisaki: You have time to think about it.
Sugisaki: With this kind of story, instead of slowly raising everyone's affection towards me at once, I'll methodically raise it in one girl a chapter.\ Label on Guy: Main Character Label next to leftmost girl: Chapter 1's Heroine Label next to next girl: Chapter 2's Heroine [TN: And on in that fashion.] Minatsu: Huh?
30
Sugisaki: And that isn't just what happens in gal games. It happens in school dramas, too.
Sugisaki: In each episode, the teacher solves one of the students' problems. Sugisaki: And he slowly works through the class.
Sugisaki: And in the final episode all of the students thank him.
Sugisaki: It's a form of harem end. Minatsu: I feel like you're really dishonoring school dramas with that last remark.
Sugisaki: In other words, to create my harem, I have to apply that concept to the student council.
31
Sugisaki: I'll start with the one who is most favorable towards me, Mafuyu-chan. Then the president, then Minatsu, and then Chizuru-san. Sugisaki: I'll take away their worries, problems, and wounds of the heart in an order that seems to be of increasing difficulty. Sugisaki: And then, seemingly magically...
Sugisaki: before you realize it, you'll be prisoners to my love!! Minatsu: Yeah, right. Mafuyu: You're going to make me a prisoner? Sakurano: I don't understand!!
32
Sakurano: Why am I the second easiest one to get! Sugisaki: Because you've reached the stage of starting to be interested in me.
Sugisaki: For example, you get upset when I'm walking with a beautiful girl, right? Text left of Sakurano: Who's that girl? Sakurano: When I see that, I call the police so they can protect the girl.
Sugisaki: You have so much jealousy... Sakurano: Sugisaki, I want to send you to the most brutal bad end ever.
Sugisaki: For me the bad end...
Sugisaki: would probably be what you first said, president. Sakurano: Huh?
33
Sugisaki: Becoming a boring person. Sugisaki: No longer thinking that this blessed environment is so blessed.
Sugisaki: I've been in the student council for a month...I can't help but find this situation enjoyable... Sugisaki: But if I ever started feeling like this was just how things are...
Sakurano: I kind of understand. Sakurano: But I'm not sure what will happen if you try being careful about it.
Sakurano: It's the same as with your "rank" in life. Sakurano: If your standard for life goes up, it won't go back down again.
Sugisaki: Joy, happiness, passion, pleasure. It's the same for all of them.
Sugisaki: Once you experience more of them, you aren't satisfied with just a little bit, and you keep needing more and more. Sugisaki: But you'll eventually reach a limit. Sugisaki: And once that stagnates, you'll start feeling that the world is boring and become a "boring person".
34
Mafuyu: How can you keep that from happening?
Chizuru: You have to reach the greatest mental state you can. It's something like "enlightenment". Minatsu: That's so boring.
Chizuru: Well, some people keep climbing their whole life... Chizuru: But most people make a compromise somewhere and manage to be fairly happy.
Sugisaki: I may end up like that, too.
35
Sugisaki: I'll have a job in a medium-sized company, not caring about the salary when I start. Sugisaki: If I get promoted, I'll be, at best, the head of one section...
Sugisaki: No matter how hard I work, the world won't change... Sugisaki: There will be countless people who could replace me...
Sugisaki: But...I won't have the courage or willpower to get out. Sugisaki: I'll live thinking, "Well, this is fine..."
Sugisaki: I can't have that.
36
Sugisaki: I'll create a bishoujo harem!!
37
Sugisaki: If I'm going to compromise, it's going to be somewhere near the top. Sugisaki: I'll compromise after I've climbed to the point of being bored with having beautiful girls serving me.
Chizuru: Going as far as you can...huh? I like that.
Minatsu: If you ignore the harem, that's not a bad stance.
Mafuyu: That's way, way better than worrying about everything you do.
Sakurano: I'm tired of striving for things like that.
Sugisaki: She's hopeless...
38
Sakurano: I ate them all!
Sugisaki: That you did... Text right of Sugisaki: Ha ha
Sakurano: What? Sugisaki: Nothing.
Sugisaki: If she can be happy without striving for anything greater, then that's fine. Sakurano: Since the snacks are gone, I think we're about done here. Mafuyu: I guess that's one way to live.
Sugisaki: Now then, I guess I'll get to work, too.
39
Sakurano: Oh...Sugisaki is staying behind in the student council room?
Minatsu: That's why I'm worried about how to deal with him.
Minatsu: In order to chat with us, he does all of the work himself as if it were nothing.
Mafuyu: I... Mafuyu: like Sugisaki-senpai.
Sakurano: There isn't a single person in this school who hates him.
40
Sakurano: If he wasn't always going on about that harem of his, he could easily get a girlfriend.
Chizuru: Oh, Aka-chan. So you do like Ki-kun. Sakurano: I-I didn't say that!
Chizuru: But speaking of his harem, he is kind of like our central pillar.
Chizuru: While chatting, we can forget about all of the sad and painful things and just have fun. Chizuru: It's kind of like the warmth you get at a family dinner. Chizuru: Even if it's fake. Chizuru: And he's definitely the one who makes that possible. Chizuru: So he's our central pillar.
Sakurano: So he really is like the teacher in a school drama.
Minatsu: No, he just gives us a place to relax.
41
Mafuyu: I'm...really thankful for what he does.
Mafuyu: But...is this really okay?
Sakurano: Yeah, it is. Sakurano: This is what he wants, so don't worry about it.
Sakurano: But in exchange, we need to do our best to help him if he ever needs it.
Minatsu: We're not going to go out with him. Sakurano: That's a different matter entirely!!
One of them: Bye... Sakurano: See you tomorrow.
42
Sakurano: Being a boring person isn't that bad.
Sakurano: If you gather together people who find their everyday lives boring... Sakurano: things can get really fun.
Sakurano: Hekiyou Private Academy Student Council Sakurano: Everyday, boring people have enjoyable conversations there.
