Koiwai: Well, I don't care about that "experience whatever", but what will you do?
P45 Koiwai: ...no one's come in yet, right?
Koiwai: Seriously. How could there be no lock for this roo- >> Hyaah!!!

Ogino: Oh... you really sent him flying.
Ogino: ...it looked like he fell into the biology club's biotope. I wonder if Kami-sama will be alright. Koiwai: He should be. He's a god after all. Text under this panel: Biotope - an artificially-made biological habitat Biotope - an area of uniform environmental conditions for a specific assemblage of plants or animals **First one is what the mangaka had down, which is way dumbed down. The latter is the real definition of a biotope.**
Kami-sama: ...
Kami-sama: ...hello?
P47 Ogino: ...that's a nice smile. Text left of Koiwai: That aside... hehehehe
Ogino: If it can make you so happy, then >> it was worthwhile staying up all night making it.

Kami-sama: So you don't recall...
P20 Text: ~10 years ago~
Kami-sama: Hmph. To put it plainly, I am the guardian deity of Mt. Hakkei. **"Hakkei" is a pun on "八景" which is also read "hakkei"; the latter refers to the most beautiful of a certain area.** Text left of little Koiwai: Koiwai age 6 Text left of little Ogino: Ogino age 6
Kami-sama: Presently I am in my transformed state, but ever since long ago, I've safeguarded this land...
Ogino/Koiwai: Is this frog talking? >> It doesn't look like a god to me Kami-sama: Umm... anyways, sorry but could you please stand me up?
Koiwai: Even up until now, there haven't been any cars that have passed by... Kami-sama: I've heard that there is development on the southern base of this mountain. Such an insensitive act.
Kami-sama: In any cases, I am indebted to you two. Text left of Ogino: It's alive?
Koiwai: I refuse!! >> I-If I don't talk to mom about it then... Kami-sama: At the very least, please decide after listening to my request... Text right of Koiwai: *hic* Text left of Kami-sama: Why not
Kami-sama: I ask of you to accompany me to the summit...
P20 Ogino: No way... to think there'd be a pond up here Kami-sama: That is because it is usually not visible to people.
Ogino: Ooh. A lot of buddies came out. Koiwai: Is here fine? Kami-sama: Yes. Thank you for your kindness.
Kami-sama: If I rest here for sometime, my powers will also come back, you see... Ogino/Koiwai: How long is sometime? Tomorrow? Kami-sama: Around ten years? Ogino/Koiwai: So long!
Ogino/Koiwai: Hey, hey, would it be okay if we come here and play? Kami-sama: It's unfortunate, but it is impossible for humans to make it up here. >> ...instead, tell me if there anything you'd like to wish for. When I finish recovering, I shall grant it.
Ogino/Koiwai: ...
P22 Ogino: Ah!!!
Ogino: I got it! I got it! Koiwai: I thought it was a dream >> Since no matter how many time we went back to that mountain, there wasn't a pond anywhere.
Kami-sama: So you've finally remembered. Koiwai: When did you change into a person!? Text right of Koiwai: Woah!
Koiwai: F-First, isn't there something we could lend him to wear? Ogino: Hmm... even if you ask, we're in school...
Ogino: Would a maid uniform work? Koiwai: Why do you have that!?
Kami-sama: I must say, this school is fortunate. It still stands even while at the foot of a mountain. Koiwai: You wore it without any hesitation!
P23 Koiwai: So... why are you here? Kami-sama: Hmm
Koiwai: Why. are. you. here? Kami-sama: Ah
Koiwai: Wish? Kami-sama: I'm done recovering. >> And if I don't occasionally use my powers, they'll get dull, understand? Ogino: An experiment?
Koiwai: Do you remember what we asked for? Ogino: Nope
Kami-sama: Whatever. A promise is a promise. Koiwai: ...this really looks like a curse... Text right of Koiwai: Trash literature?
Koiwai: Hmm... what did I say back then? >> U-Umm...
Koiwai: I-I want to be a magical girl... >> Ah. I see. Text left of little Koiwai: Hehe
P24 Koiwai (text): ... ... >> Maybe right now I could...?
Koiwai: !!!
Koiwai: Awawawawah Ogino: Bwahahahah
Kami-sama: Did I make a mistake? Koiwai: No just that... in this day and age, this outfit can cause various damages. Text above Koiwai: ...at least it fits...
Kami-sama: By the way, what is a "magical girl" in the first place? Koiwai: Those types of things you're supposed to inquire beforehand!! Text left of Kami-sama: I don't understand Japanese culture...
P24 Koiwai: So what did you wish for back then... Text left of Ogino: Wahahahah?
Ogino: You see... I want to be a boy.
Ogino: Wooah!? Text right of Ogino's arm: Gotta catch 'em all?
Koiwai: ...are you okay? Text left of Ogino: I-I-I-I-I have a c-c-c-customer. Something's there. Something's there. Something's there. Something's there. Something's there. Something's there. Something's there. Something's there.
P26 Ogino: C-C-C-C-Can I try using it? Can I? Koiwai: What! What for!? Just calm down!! Ogino: No, no, no. Look. Like the toilet.
Koiwai: Enough already. Turn us back to normal! Kami-sama: Are you sure? You've been waiting for ten years... Koiwai: That's mainly your fault!! Text right of Kami-sama: It'd be best to enjoy it
Koiwai: If someone were to see this... Girl: Chiharu, Kaho. What were you guys making so much noise about earlier?
Girl: !
Text: Friend in a magical girl outfit
Text: Shota-style Friend
Text: Mysterious cross-dressing maid
Koiwai: When you were born... Bold text: The Unknown World **I don't get why there's a buffalo, but the kanji on it reads as "Donation and Car"**
P27 Koiwai: Y-Y-Y-You see... Yumiko. There's a deeeep reason for this. Yumiko: I-I-I understand... Manken includes those sorts of urges too, right? Koiwai: No!
Yumiko: Don't worry. I understand. >> I'm your friend. I'll always be watching from a distance... Koiwai: You don't understand!! Text right of Koiwai: Don't distance yourself---
Koiwai: Awawawah. What do I do!? If I don't stop her, strange rumors will spread again... Kami-sama: ...then, why don't you use magic?
Koiwai: I can really use magic? Kami-sama: You didn't notice? The current you possesses magic powers that is second only to me! Koiwai: ...that's not much to go on Text next to Kami-sama: Fufufu...
Kami: Like this, focus your mind on the object you wish to capture, and say "hapirumadoruminamakarakaan"
Koiwai: H-Hapirumadoruminamakarakaan! Ogino: You guys practicing for something? Kami-sama Well, don't worry. Even if she couldn't say that gibberish, it'd still work. Koiwai: Y-You bastard!!
P28 Kami-sama: Now then! Sure-kill! Mucus Restriction!!! **Hissatsu! Nen'eki Kousoku!!! (is what it'd be in Japanese)**
Koiwai: This is magic!? This is a magical girl's skill!? Ogino: I guess since you're a frog...
Koiwai: Luckily she fainted! Kami-sama: ...that's okay? Koiwai: Turn us all back to the state we were before! Ogino: Eh--- c'mon let's not hurry.
Ogino: Let's me show off the yuri level that you can't find in a shounen magazine. **If you don't know what "yuri" is go google it. (笑)** Koiwai: This is a shounen magazine! Also, I'm not yuri!! Anyways, shut up!!!
Text left of Kami-sama: Good grief... Koiwai: Don't "good grief" me!!
P29 Yumiko: Mm...
Yumiko: H-Huh? Where...? Koiwai: Y-Y-You really surprised us, Yumiko. You collapsed in the corridor, you see... Text right of Koiwai: I was really worried ♥
Yumiko: Huh? Then, that was a dream I guess...
Text left of the naked Kami-sama: Sup
Koiwai: Why are you naked again!? Kami-sama: Well, you said "state we were before"...
Koiwai (text): Well, he's a disturbing god but...
Koiwai: ...is it possible you just came here to read manga? (text) >> For reason, he's still here. Text left of Kami-sama: Where have I seen this punch line...
P30 Text going down: Koiwai Chiharu (2nd year) Puts effort into getting good grades, prudent. Except when it comes to Manken, she plays the quiet, gentle, good student (kid).
