[] Thank you for waiting, everyone who's cheering for Kama Acad!
#92 True Strength
[] Finally, the match between our Kama Acad Soccer Club and Hakusan Academy is about to start.

[] While waiting for kick-off, I'll do a simple introduction of Kama Acad's 11 members.

[] First up are the Goalkeeper and the defenders!

---page 49---

[] The keeper is a regular since 2nd year called the Immovable Guardian God,
[] Gojou Masato, 3rd year!

[] With a height of 188cm and long limbs, he catches all kinds of shoots that come!

[] For the defenders, there are 3 backstoppers and they're all 3rd years.
T/N: Backstoppers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_football_positions

[] Ichimura Kazushi on the right, // Kimizuka Naoki on the left are immovable!
[] And the regular since summer in his 1st year that established himself as one of the best in the prefecture is

[] Kunimatsu Hiromi, 2nd year! // Standing slightly behind, he's truly a sweeper that sweeps the enemy's attack to pieces!
[] The 3 of them in a normal team surpasses even 4 defenders, truly a steel wall defender trio!

---page 50---

"" Kunimatsu-san's amazing. To be the core of Kama Acad's defenders in his 2nd year.
"" Yeah.

"" Back in middle school, there were times you were shaken off completely.
"" Did something like that happen?

"" Ever since then, he must've worked really hard.
"" If we manage to win until the semifinals and get a match against Kama Acad, I think they will definitely be a difficult opponent.

"" ...Yeah.

[] The defensive midfielder on the left side is Ookoshi Yutaka, 2nd year.

[] On the right side is 3rd year's Shima Yuuki.
[] And the center is

---page 51---

[] taken by 1st year's Saeki Yuusuke!
"" Kya~! Saeki-kun~!
"" Saeki-kun!

"" How...how popular...
"" To be a regular in his 1st year, Yuusuke's really amazing.

"" As expected huh, but Kama Acad has another 1st year this year.
"" Ehhh?

[] The offensive midfielder on the left is 3rd year's Ikushima Takuya.

[] On the right is also a 3rd year, Hayase Atsushi.
[] And, the other 1st year is in charge of the center.

---page 52---

"" B-below top is a 1st year?
"" Until last year they were 2 top with 2 offensive midfielders, so it looks like they changed their system for him.

"" You can't be serious...? Exactly who is that guy?

[] Sera Ukyou!
"" Sera-kun, work hard!
[] Shounan Junior Youth's ace didn't elevate to Youth, but actually joined our Kama Acad's Soccer club!

"" Ehh?! Shounan's Sera-kun entered Kama Acad?!
"" Shocking, isn't it? It looks like he has already transferred, but // was always in France until just before the preliminaries when he flew back to join the team.

"" The rumors are that his study abroad in France didn't go smoothly.
"" Just as he was about to be a middle school ronin, Kama Acad seems to have helped him out.

---page 53---

"" Oi oi! I heard the rumor that an amazing guy had joined but it's Shounan's Sera?!
"" That's got to be a joke! Right, Kakeru?

"" I'm looking forward to it, Kouta!
"" Huh?

"" Isn't that right? // It's Kunimatsu-san, Yuusuke, Shounan's Sera-kun with Takajou-san in a one-top formation you know?
"" Don't you feel excited about facing such a team? // I've got to win until the semi-finals no matter what!

"" ...Hah-- I wonder since when you became such an optimistic guy.

[] Now I'll introduce the last one top forward.
[] The U-19 representative forward, last year's Kanagawa Prefectural championship's scoring king and Kama Acad Soccer Club's Captain,

---page 54---

[] Bib number 10!
"" Woah, Takajou-san!
"" Takajou-san!
[] Takajou Akira--!

---page 55---

"" Woah--!! Amazing, as I thought, even many people not from Kama Acad came to cheer.
"" Not just that, it looks like there's a lot of scouters from J-league who came as well.
"" Really?
"" I can't be mistaken.

"" Look! That guy in the red necktie's Urawa's scout,
"" the yellow necktie seems to be Chiba's guy, // and the one beside him in green as well...

"" It-it certainly seems so, but how did you know?
"" They came to my house...they double as female team's scouts as well.

---page 56---

"" What is it, Kakeru.

"" Th-that's amazing, Seven. // Can I get a signature from you now?
"" He-stop it! I'm going to get angry!

"" I still don't have the intention of joining the Nadeshiko League...
"" Nana-cha--n!

<> *fsshhh*
"" Wh-what, Kouta?!
"" No-nothing, I just wanted to take the chance to hug her...

"" Seriously--
"" Yeah, the 1st years seem to be having fun...

"" They're lacking a sense of tension!!

---page 57---

[] Now, it's finally kickoff!

[] Kama Acad Soccer club kicks off!

---page 58---

"" Damn it!

[] What the-! Takajou suddenly got into a shooting posture!

"" Eh? From there?!
"" Even though he only just left the center circle?!

---page 59---

[] It's a long shoot--!
"" Here goes!

"" Kuu!

"" Wah!

---page 60---

"" Damn it, getting ahead of yourselves. Right side, go!

"" Alright!
"" It was stolen by OOkoshi-san!

"" Sera!
[] Now--! Shounan Junior Youth's playmaker Sera has the ball!

[] And, as if to match it, Takajou has started to move!

---page 61---

[] Takajou-san exited from the back!
"" Damn it!

"" But the mark is still chasing him.
"" If it's Takajou-san, he should be able to shake it off and shoot, right?!

"" Don't let Takajou come out!

---page 62---

"" Eh?

[] What the-! Unexpectedly, it's a pass to Saeki-!

"" Wha- Yuusuke's overlap?!

---page 63---

"" Ohh!
[] Middle sh---oot--!

---page 64---

---page 65---

[] Go--al!!
[] Within the 1st min and a half after the match started, the anticipated 1st year Saeki Yuusuke's preemptive goal shook the net--!

"" A-amazing...

"" Did that guy have such a middle shoot?
"" It's because the back and muscle strength of male players grow the most from 3rd year in middle school till 1st year in high school. // He's grew 5cm since middle school, I think his power has changed as well.

"" But just now there was obviously a straight path to pass to Takajou-san...
"" If it's this team, I think they can score that way as well.

"" But...for example, if it's Youin,

---page 66---

"" to shake off Asuka-san from there and score a goal, I think it'll be difficult even for Takajou-san.
"" I think that's why Saeki-kun chose to do that.

"" You mean to say Sera-kun also made that decision in a split-second?
"" Yeah. His wide-vision and ability to make decisions is shocking.
"" It should've far surpassed the level of a high school student's.
"" Surpassing a high school student's level at only year 1?
(small text) What are you talking about?

"" Youin Academy should also be concerned about Yuusuke's pass, huh...
"" Yeah, and Saeki-kun is aware of...

"" us...

---page 67---

"" and Kakeru, and let us see that middle shoot.
() Yuusuke...

() Reach us, Kakeru, definitely...!

Chapter title: #91 - Truth

text on board (left to right) Game 1st half 2nd half
Enoshima 0 2 2
Shounan University Affiliated 0 1 1

[] Enoshima High School enters the best 8--!

---page 29---

[] In the first half, both sides failed to score, but not long after the second half started, Shounan University Affiliated robbed the first point.

[] Everyone thought that the match was set, but 27 minutes into the second half, the ace Araki's middle shoot burst!

[] 4 minutes after equalizing the score, the brilliant one touch play connected the ball to 1st year forward Aizawa Kakeru's heel.

[] At this time when Hibino, one of the "Four Arrows", came to stand in the way,

---page 30---

[] Aizawa's final weapon, the "Phi Trick" appeared,

[] and Hibino was completely broken through!

[] Followed by a reversal goal! It truly was a splendid reversal play!

[] Our Enoshima High School--!

---page 31---

"" ...Well then, it's our turn.

"" Kickoff starts in 30 minutes! Begin warmups!
"" Got it!

---page 32---

"" Next up is Kama Acad, let's see what they're made of.
"" Asuka-san, don't we need to take note of their opponent Hakusan?

"" For the High School soccer prefectural preliminaries, there wasn't much change in the evaluation before and after the matches.
"" In other words, our opponents in the semifinals will be Kama Acad, huh.

"" You can say so, Onimaru.

"" Unless...something unexpected happens.

---page 33---

"" The 1st round of the whole Kanagawa Prefectural preliminaries match between Enoshima High School and Shounan University Affiliated High School is 2 v 1, // Enoshima High School's victory!
"" Thank you very much!
"" Much-!

---page 34---

"" You did it!
"" Hibino!

"" As I thought, you really are an amazing fellow.
"" I thought I had already put in enough effort, but it looks like it wasn't enough.

"" ...Is your foot alright?

"" I didn't come here to get your looks of pity, you know!
"" Wah! It hurts!

"" It's true that it hasn't recovered completely, // but it's thanks to my knee being destroyed that I can learn the Canon Freekick.
"" I'm the kind of "bring it on" guy that goes through thorough training for the sake of making up for the torn ligament with my armor of muscle.

"" ...say, do you still remember those words I said in the park back then, Hibino?
"" Ah?

---page 35---

"" You were angry about me was saying that I understood how you felt so simply...

"" Ahh about that, with your serious play today...
"" I wasn't trying to say that I was slighting your efforts, that wasn't what I meant.

"" I still want to chat with you after all.
"" That's why, will you come to that park tonight?

"" ...Ahh,
"" that's fine.

"" Later!

---page 36---

"" You did it! You looked a little cool there!
"" Isn't that to be expected?
"" Good job. (Otsukaresama)

"" Laugh more!
"" Uwah!

"" Phi trick's fine too.
"" Yeah, it sounds a bit like a finishing move.

"" Yay!
"" How can we lose to those purposely foul-creating people aiming for the free kick!

"" Ugh!

"" ...Seriously, this is why you're a dude without delicacy...
[] As I thought, I...I definitely can't be friends with this guy...
TLN: get along works too, but 'be friends' seem to be the exact word used.

---page 37---

"" ...I have nothing to say,
"" you guys did well.

"" ...you did
"" ...your best...

---page 38---

"" Coach Asou...

"" We'll being our last reflection session later, // you guys head back to school first.

"" Last?
"" What does he mean?

---page 39---

"" Hey Kakeru, you're watching Kamakura High's match right?
"" Of course!

"" I'm looking forward to it, Saeki-kun's going to play.
"" It'd be great if that bastard Nishijima doesn't come out.
(small text on the bubble:) kekeke

"" Thank you very much for today, Coach Iwaki.
"" No, it's the same for us.

"" Are you going to watch the next match?
"" Yes, I was planning on it but...
"" Then before the match starts, can you spare me 10 minutes, no 5 minutes?

"" Sure, I have some things to talk to you about as well.
"" Is that so-

---page 40---

"" I have no excuse.
"" Huh?

"" The things that those players did.
"" Purposely creating a foul as though they had gone through a stimulation before... // That isn't the kind of conduct a sportsman should have.

"" I did not instruct them properly.
"" It is my fault as coach.

"" No...Honestly, it might be a little disrespectful for me to say this, // but that is Coach Asou's instructions... isn't that right?
"" I also realized it in this last match.

"" It was at the time of those fouls before we first scored.

---page 41---

"" It's true that I had much hopes in Hibino's free kick and was specially training him for that.
"" But I don't remember instructing the players to practice such a style of purposely obtaining free kicks.

"" Just that...I think I was
"" the one responsible for it.

"" Ever since Hibino joined,
"" whoever gets a foul near the goal,

"" would make me anticipate scoring with a free kick,
"" and become delighted straight away.

---page 42---

"" Because we have always fell behind due to the lack of a way to score,
"" it resulted in me unable to hold back the delight at the thought of scoring.

"" Perhaps because they all saw my attitude,

"" that's why everyone practiced
"" such a play in secret...

"" Coach Asou...

"" I decided to quit being a coach after this match.
"" Eh?

---page 43---

"" My health has never been good, and my doctor has told me to stop,
"" there was nothing that could have been done about it.

"" But the students must've thought that if they could produce results, then I won't have to resign,
"" and ever since I told them, their eyes changed.

"" So that's how it is...Sorry, I've misunderstood you...
"" No, you did not misunderstand. It's the truth that they did such a thing.

"" I just wish to tell you one thing.
"" They did not do it for themselves, they did it for me... // that's why they went against their own beliefs and played that way...

"" Please be understanding.
"" Isn't it fine already, Coach Asou?

---page 44---

"" They had a good fight,
"" isn't that fine already?

"" Thank you Very much, Coach Iwaki.

"" Enoshima High is an amazing team.

"" ...yes, but this is only the beginning.

"" They are...still high school students.

---page 45 + 46---

"" This is only

"" the beginning.

"" Coach Iwaki! The 2nd match is starting!
"" I'm coming now!

---page 47---

[] Kama Acad has come out!
"" Show us a great match!

"" Ka-ma Acad!
"" Ka-ma Acad!
"" Ka-ma Acad!

#90 Final Feint

---page 7---

---page 8---

[] Goaaaaal!
[] It's decided! Remaining time is 4 minutes!

[] Purebred Striker - Aizawa Kakeru has decided it at last!

---page 9---

[] 2-1!

[] Reversal Go-al!

---page 10---

[] Even so, the best part is what led to the reversal goal,
[] that phenomenal feint!

[] After the match the other day, I investigated the truth of // the "Disappearing Feint" that created a decisive chance.

[] That's right, it's the former Japan representative, who played Forward in the previous J League match against Holland,
[] "Lefty Monster" Ogura Takafumi's specialty, a miracle heel feint named the "Ogu Feint".

[] That is the move Aizawa used on a 1-on-1 against Hibino when
[] Hibino rushed out after Aizawa received a pass on the right side of the goal. // At that moment, Aizawa made a gesture as though he was looking at the ball as his feet...

[] which captured Hibino's gaze!

[] However, the ball was already no longer there,

[] but was kicked by the heel moving forward,
[] and pushed by Hibino's back!

---page 11---

[] From Hibino's eyes, the ball must've seemed to have completely disappeared.

[] As Hibino spaces out from losing sight of the ball, Aizawa quickly passes him. // When the ball that sneaked past returns to Aizawa's feet, the goalkeeper is the only opponent left!
[] After that, all's left is to observe the goalkeeper's movements calmly and score.

[] It truly is fantastic soccer from Enoshima High,
[] especially the super play shown by Aizawa!

[] The defender is sandwiched between the ball and the player that were separated,
[] and the trick move that reappeared looks like the Greek letter "Φ phi",

[] hence I would like to call this the "Φ Phi trick"!
T/N: I'm pretty sure we preferred it to be called the Phantom Feint. It actually sounds cooler.

---page 12---

"" Nice one Yamanashi!
"" Enoshima High's Furutachi-!
"" Phi trick! Aizawa's amazzzzzing!

"" Che! Looks like your time to shine!
"" Aha, I did it!

(All the small black bolded text reads *pant* for the next few panels)

---page 13---

"" Hibino! It's kickoff, there's still 5min if we include injury time.
"" They scored 2 points with 10 minutes remaining, there's no reason we can't do it too!
"" Got it!

"" Attack! // Let's show them that we're not all about defense!
"" Yeah!

"" Yosh, there's still 5 minutes left! Let's go finish things!
"" Yeah!

"" Don't be complacent! Keep the intention of getting even 1 more point, // attacking is the best defense!
"" Got it!

---page 14---

[] You're an amazing fellow.
[] I always knew that
[] you were not just Suguru-san's little brother.

[] I knew that my rival is you...
[] all along...

"" Hibino!
[] That's right...

[] I wanted to clash with you once more like that time,
[] that's why I Came back!

[] Shounan University Affiliated's movements have changed!
[] Everyone, including the "Four Arrows", have begun moving forward and to participate in the offense!

---page 15---

"" Hibino!
"" Damn.

"" Uoooooo!
"" I won't let it end like this!

[] The fast running defender who has successfully sealed off Matoba's dribble on the right side the entire match...
[] one of the "Four Arrows", Nishio Daisaku dribbles forward!

"" I won't let you go!
[] What the, it's Matoba! Winger Matoba, who rarely participates in defense, is // marking Nishio like he wants to settle the debt of being sealed off!

"" Damn!

[] The long ball of desperation is...

[] Tsukumo seems to be hanging on to it, but as expected, he can't catch up to it...

---page 16---

"" Why this---!

[] He stopped it-! How swiftfooted! // The ball that was going to become a goal kick no matter how you see it was barely stopped a few meters before the end line!

"" Why this!
"" Urya!!

[] It's a cross!
[] And the defenders and midfielders of both teams regardless are running after this ball!

---page 17---

[] Truly an all-out war! And...now, 35 minutes has passed on my watch!
[] Injury time is 1 minute!

[] Is Enoshima High getting away with it?!

[] Or is Shounan University Affiliated going to catch up?!

[] Shounan University Affiliated is attacking fiercely without caring for appearances!

[] Outperform us, Enoshima High Eleven!

---page 18---

[] The best 8 is right in front of our eyes!

"" Crap!

"" Damn it!

[] Oh, Honda fell!
[] The tenacity of Shounan University Affiliated's entire team's offense is stopped for now by Sawamura's foul!

"" Sorry.
"" Don't mind, Sawamura-san. // There's no choice but to let him fall in the area.
"" Yeah, but still.

---page 19---

[] Now...it's Hibino's turn! It's probably Shounan University Affiliated's last chance to attack in this match.
[] Is the Canon Freekick going to go in?!

"" Let's settle this.

"" Everybody form a wall! It's going to be time up after we block this!

"" Aizawa, move slightly right.
"" Araki and Oda, care more about your surroundings than the wall!

[] Now, it's probably Shounan University Affiliated's last chance.

Kakeru : Seven

Hal. 2
Kouta : Seven...

Kouta : Dia bukan hanya Seven, Kakeru! Apa-apaan wanita itu? Jelas-

jelas dia tidak normal!! Dia tahu banyak tentang sepakbola lebih

daripada aku!
Kakeru : Ugh- Apa yang kau lakukan? Kau tidak seperti orang yang tahu

banyak tentang ssepakbola, Kouta!

Yuusuke : Hmmp... Yah, tentu! Sungguh ajaib kau bisa masuk klub

sepakbola di urutan pertama!
Kouta : Eh?
[Kakeru : Leherku, leherku...]

Kouta : Kau cuma manager! Kau tidak punya hak berkata seperti itu!
Kakeru : Aaahhh! Tadi itu Yuusuke! Hentikan, aku menyerah!

Suguru : Apa yang kalian lakukan?
Kouta : Ah... Kapten!

Suguru : Saeki, Nakatsuka, ayo rapat.
Manager, urus data dari uji tanding itu dan bawa kemari.
Kakeru : Se... Segera!

Hal. 3
Nana : Kapten.

Suguru : ... Dan karena itu kau memintaku untuk mengikutsertakan

Kakeru, benar?
Nana : Ya... Suguru-san, kau juga mengerti maksudku, kan?

Hal. 4
Nana : Tidak mungkin bisa ikut kejuaraan nasional dengan hanya

mengandalkan Ishikawa-san dan Nishijima-kun.
Bahkan dengan kau pun, Suguru-san, kalau kita hanya mengandalkan kedua

orang itu...
Suguru : Tidak, aku tidak bisa mengikutsertakan Kakeru.

Nana : Kenapa tidak?
Nana : Bukankah dia berhasil menerima operan sulitmu dan melancarkan

tembakan?

Nana : Saat mengejar operan itu, dia berhasil mengecoh pemain bertahan

dan meloloskan diri.
Dia memiliki semua dasar yang dibutuhkan seorang striker.

Nana : Dia bahkan tidak bisa dihentikan oleh penjagaan ketat

Kunimatsu-kun yang berada di posisi centerback.
Tatapannya terus berkata, "Oper padaku."

Suguru : ...

Nana : Dan hal lainnya yang mengejutkanku...
Nana : ... Adalah staminanya.

Hal. 5
Nana : Kakaeru sudah jadi manager selama kelas 8, kan?
Nana : Tetapi staminanya tidak menurun, bahkan setelah berlari cukup

lama.

Nana : Bahkan kaki Kunimatsu-kun sempat cedera setelah menghalaunya.
Nana : Dan karena itulah Nishijiwa-kun berhasil mencetak angka, kan?

Suguru : ...

Kakeru : Sial... Dia menyuruhku untuk menyiapkan data, tapi waktu itu

aku juga ikut main... Lalu data mana yang bisa kuurus?
Kakeru : Aku harus minta tolong pada Seven. Kurasa dia mencatatnya...

Kakeru : Sev-

Kakeru : [Su... Suguru...]

Hal. 6
Nana : Meskipun Kakeru tidak berhasil menendang operan darimu,
Nana : Tidak ada seorangpun selain Kakeru yang bisa mendapatkan

operanmu itu, kan?

Suguru : Dan karena itulah.
Nana : Eh?

Kakeru : !

Suguru : Di antara hal-hal yang paling menentukan dalam pertandingan,

yang terpenting ialah bisa mengoordinasi semua aksi dengan baik dan

tidak melewatkan satu kesempatan pun.
Suguru : Jika sebuah tendangan di depan gawang meleset, anggota lainnya

akan merasa seolah tim tersebut tidak akan bisa mencetak angka

bagaimanapun kerasnya mereka mencoba.

Nana : Maksudmu semangat mereka akan turun?
Suguru : Tepat.

Hal. 7
Suguru : Jika orang selain Kakeru menerima operan itu, kesempatan

mereka untuk mencetak angka akan mendekati nol.

Suguru : Bukan, sudah pasti tidak mungkin bagi mereka. Begitulah

permainan ini berlangsung.

Nana : ...

Suguru : Kekurangan paling fatal dari Kakeru,
Suguru : Bukanlah skil atau stamina.

Hal. 8
Suguru : Tetapi keyakinan.
Suguru : Sama halnya dengan kaki kirinya.

Nana : Suguru-san.

Hal. 9
Nana : Kakeru!?
Nana : [Apa dia mendengarnya?]

Nana : Tunggu... Dengarkan aku!

Nana : Suguru-san berharap lebih darimu! Jadi...
Kakeru : Seperti yang dikatakannya.

Kakeru : "Orang yang tidak memiliki keyakinan tidak pantas untuk

bermain bola", kan?
Kakeru : Jika hal memalukan itu tidak pernah terjadi... Mungkin...

Kakeru : SIAL-!

Hal. 10
Kakeru : Ah..

Anak perempuan 1 : Eeeeeek! Buhkan cuma Kouta, Kakeru juga seperti ini!
Anak perempuan 2 : Bunuh dia!
*Tulisan di papan : Anak perempuan sedang mengganti pakaian di dalam

sini. Bersiaplah untuk mati bagi yang berani masuk!

Kakeru : Tidak... Kalian salah... Ini salah paham! [Aku juga ingin

ganti pakaian dan pulang ke rumah...]
Anak perempuan 3 : Diam!
Kakeru : Aaaah! Tolong aku, Seven!

Hal. 11
Kakeru : Huh... Aku lelah...

Kakeru : [Suguru!?]

Kakeru : [Siapa wanita cantik itu...?]

Hal. 12
Kakeru : [APA-!?]

Kakeru : [Su... Su- Su- Su- Su- Su- Suguru, dia...]

Kakeru [Berada dalam hubungan serelu... terlarang...!?]
*Tanda panah : Hubungan seksual terlarang.
Ibu : Ada apa, Kakeru? [Itu tulang ikan...]
Mito : Dicampakkan Nana-chan?
Suguru : ...

Kakeru : [... Yang tadi itu siapa? Pacarnya? Tapi kelihatan lebih tua

darinya... Jangan bilang mereka berzinah...?]
Mito : Hey... Itu celana dalamku! Darimana kau dapatkan itu!?

Hal. 13
Kakeru : Ah! Aku sudah menunggumu cukup lama!
Kakeru : Sudah kuduga kau akan datang malam ini.

Kakeru : Meskipun aku tidak tahu siapa dirimu,
Kakeru : Kau harus membantuku berlatih malam ini, oke?

Hal. 14
Kakeru : Oh, ini? Jangan khawatir.

Kakeru : Malam ini aku sangat ingin bermain mengenakan ini.
Kakeru : Aku tidak pernah mendapatkan nomor selama di kelas 8, jadi aku

selalu mengenakan ini.

Kakeru : Bagiku, seragam tak bernomor ini...
Kakeru : Melambangkan karir sepakbola di masa SMP-ku.

Kakeru : Ayo! Ayo mulai!

Kakeru : Ayo-!!

Hal. 15
[Aku mulai menikmati ini sebanyak yang aku bisa!!]

[Sebanyak yang aku bisa...]

Hal. 16
Kakeru : Wha... Lagi-lagi rolet!?

Kakeru : Bolanya berayun!

Kakeru : Aku tidak akan kalah!

Hal. 17
Kakeru : Hehe!

Kakeru : Tadi itu setengah jam... Setengah permainan dalam sepak bola

SMP adalah setengah jam.
Kakeru : Aku akan menggunakan waktu ini untuk beristirahat, dan bermain

selama tiga puluh menit di babak berikutnya.

Kakeru : Aku kelihatan seperti orang bodoh, huh? Aku hanya menager,

tapi aku tetap berlatih seperti ini setiap hari... Aku sungguh tidak

tahu kapan harus berhenti!

Pria bertopeng : [Dia berlatih setiap hari dengan tenaga yang sama

seperti pertandingan penuh?]

Pria bertopeng : [Jadi karena itu dia bisa menerima operan yang begitu

kuat.]
Kakeru : Mau minum?

Hal. 18
Kakeru : Aku tidak tahu siapa dirimu, tapi tampaknya kau tahu kelemahan

di sisi kiriku.

Kakeru : Tapi bolehkah aku memperkenalkan diriku? Di sekolah dasar, aku

ikut dalam uji tanding bersama timku. Aku biasanya menggunakan kaki

kiri untuk menendang,
Dan berakhir dengan cedera hebat pada seorang rekan timku. Kami

bersaing memperebutkan posisi di garis depan.

Kakeru : Sejak saat itu, setiap kali menendang dengan kaki kiri, aku

merasa takut... Ya, kurasa hanya itu.

Kakeru : Baiklah! Ini sedikit lebih cepat, tapi waktu istirahat sudah

selesai!
Kakeru : Ayo mulai babak kedua.

Kakeru : Hm?

Hal. 19
Kakeru : Ah... Hey, tunggu!

Kakeru : Argh!

Kakeru : Hey! Tunggu!

Hal. 20
Mito : Selamat datang, Sugu-nii!
Suguru : Mm.

TV : [Malam ini aku akan memperkenalkan seseorang yang bermain sangat

baik di pertandingan U-15 Japan VS South America Exchange Cup, mencetak

satu angka dan satu pertolongan.]

TV : [Pemain tim U-15 dari Brazil, yang pada usia lima belas tahun

disebut-sebut sebagai harta karun Brazil.]

Hal. 21
TV : [Leonardo Silva, tamu kita pada acara malam ini!]

Leo : Mmm-
Presenter : Ma- maaf... Mr. Leonardo Silva?!

Pesenter : Bukan!
Suguru : Idiot.

Presenter : Jadi, kembali ke topik kita, Mr. Silva, bagaimana kau

menemukan Aizawa Suguru?
*Tanda panah pada pria di belakang Leo : Penerjemah

Leo : Kurasa akan ada banyak klub kuat Eropa yang menawarinya bergabung

suatu saat nanti.
Leo : Kalau saat itu tiba, kuharap dia memilih tim yang berbeda dariku.

Hal. 22
TV : [Di tim manapun dia bergabung, dia pasti akan menjadi ace

sepertiku.]
Mito : [Hey, aku tidak bisa melihat TV, Sugu-nii-!]
TV : [Tapi akhirnya, hanya akan ada satu raja.]

Presenter : Begitu. Bagaimana dengan Jepang di masa yang akan datang?
Leo : Gelandang tengah Jepang punya banyak bakat seperti Suguru.
Leo : Sayangnya, mereka lemah untuk membuat keputusan yang tepat.

Leo : Jepang membutuhkan orang-orang yang bisa membuat keputusan di

area penalti.
Leo : Seseorang yang dengan berani menjawab permintaan Sang Raja.

Hal. 23
TV : [AKN]

Mito : Hey, apa yang kau lakukan, Sugu-nii? Aku salah satu fan-nya!

Suguru : Ini sudah larut. Kau pergi ke toko itu lagi?

Suguru : Hey, Kakeru, apa yang kau lakukan?

Hal. 24
Kakeru : Berhentilah berlagak bodoh!
Kakeru : Kenapa kau melakukannya diam-diam!?

Kakeru : Kau ingin mengatakan sesuatu padaku, kan?

Kakeru : Katakan saja?!

Hal. 25
---Tidak ada teks---

Hal. 26
Suguru : Kakeru...

Kakeru : Sial.
Kakeru : [Aku tidak akan pernah lupa dengan yang terjadi malam ini.]

Kakeru : [Berbagai pikiran memenuhi kepalaku sebagaimana aku diam-diam

membayangkan diriku menghajar wajah kakakku.]

Kakeru : [Waktu terus bergulir...]
Kakeru : [Aku akan menerima 'operan terakhir' kakak...]

Hal. 27
Kakeru : [Di hari penentuan itu...]

Iwaki: Well then, this will be the formation for the second half.

Iwaki: Matoba-kun and Sakamoto-kun will fall back,
and the forwards will be Takase-kun and Kakeru-kun, a two-top. [K: I've always wondered why Iwaki calls Kakeru by his first name and everyone else except Kouta and maybe Mako by their surname. Favoritism? That should be my rant :P]

#60 Rapid Heartbeat

\

Kakeru: Yes!

\

Takase: Kaoru...

\

Iwaki: Kouta-kun will enter as a defensive midfielder on the left.
Sawamura-kun will go to the right.

\

Sawamura: The opponent's right side is fast. Be careful not to go too far up.

Kouta: Sure thing!

------

(page096)

Iwaki: And Kaiouji-kun, you don't have to mark the one-top Hasegawa-kun tightly anymore.

Kaiouji: Eh? But...

Iwaki: Constantly following him was preventing you from performing your original job.

\

Iwaki: Just follow your judgement on whether to mark him or not.
Iwaki: Otherwise, don't be restricted by Hasegawa-kun's movements.
Look at the big picture and maintain the defence line.

Kaiouji: Yes!

\

Iwaki: However, everyone else must pay attention to Kim-kun's long throw-ins.
If necessary, please follow in and assist the defence.

Team: Yes!

\

Nana:
Well said. This way, Kaiouji-san is freed from the great responsibility of marking the one-top by himself.

Nana: And he can keep an eye on his surroundings.

\

Kurebayashi: Lee-san... It's all yours.

------

(page097)

Lee: Leave it to me. I won't give them another goal.

Kurebayashi: Yeah...

\

\

Takase: When their number 10 goes for a throw-in, I have to go back and defend.

Kakeru: Okay, I'll be fine. In fact, that also gives us a chance to counterattack as well.

\

Matoba: I'll leave it to you two.
Kakeru: Kaoru-kun.

\

Matoba: That first goal was my fault.
Matoba: I messed up the pass and gave them the ball. Then they took the throw-in...

\

Kakeru: That couldn't have been helped.
sfx: clench
Takase: Leave it to us. We'll definitely get the points back!

\

Matoba: Okay.

------

(page098)

Kondou: Don't slack around now. The second half is starting!
Kakeru: Sorry!

\

\

Kondou: Washing your face really refreshed you, Iwaki-kun.

\

Iwaki: I got chewed up by Uryuu.
Kondou: By Uryuu?

\

Iwaki: Yes... I bore most of the burden, again. [K: LAME... AWKWARD... please help. Basically, I need an idiom that says "I took most of the responsibility upon myself again. I was like a sumo wrestler."]

\

Iwaki: Believing it was my responsibility actually came from a lack of trust in my partners. [K: or whatever we ended up using for chapter 59..]

Iwaki: Really woke me up... hahaha.

\

Kondou: Iwaki-kun...

------

(page099)

Iwaki: Because of him, I also thought of...
Iwaki: the "regrets" that high school football left me.

\

\

\

Iwaki: But it's all right now.
Iwaki: There's a lot of time left. Even though we don't currently have a tactic...

\

Iwaki: our magnificent "partners"...
Iwaki: will stand firm.

\

Iwaki: In the mean time I must also think hard...

------

(page100)

Iwaki: Of a "strategy" that can defeat this strong rival...

\

\

Announcer: Well, at last, the second half begins!

Announcer: Whether you like it or not, only 35 minutes remain!

\

Announcer: Because Enoshima's Ace Striker, Hino, was ejected from the game...

\

Announcer: he has been replaced by first-year Aizawa Kakeru,

announcer: a forward who has scored 2 goals so far this season.

------

(page101)

Announcer: On the left flank, Nakatsuka Kouta, also a first-year.
His trademark is his enthusiastic participation in offence.

\

Announcer: And the goalkeeper has also been substituted.
Replacing Kurebayashi after his painful concession of 2 goals...

Announcer: is third-year Lee Akitoshi.

\

Crowd: Go Enoshima!!

Crowd: Turn the game around!

\

Crowd: Get to the Nationals! We're counting on you!

Crowd: You guys are the stars of Tsujidou after all!

Crowd: You're carrying our hopes and dreams! [K: Wow, NO pressure or anything really!]

\

Announcer: The supporters of Tsujidou Academy, with its 2-0 lead, are really making themselves heard!
sfx: OOOHHHHH

Announcer: Don't be disheartened, Enoshima! Unleash a powerful attack!

------

(page102)

Kakeru: We have to attack.
Kakeru: We're already 2 goals behind. We can't keep on defending...

\

Kouta: HEY HEY HEYYYYY!

\

Kouta: GIMME THE BALL!
sfx: DOOOOOM

Tsujidou: Whoa! What the hell!

\

Nana: That's good, Kouta-kun!
That vigour will definitely turn the tide of the game over to us.

\

Iwaki: Yes. The vigour of the people who raised their hand, wanting to play,
Iwaki: despite being 2-0 down. I'm betting it on that.

------

(page103)

Yakumo: But will it be okay? That idiot...
Yakumo: He doesn't think and he's pretty close to the side-line.
If they get another throw-in...

\

Kouta: Hey hey!

\

\

Hasegawa: Yo, will you be all right on the left flank?

\

Hasegawa: If you have a bad marker on the sideline, it'll just be a throw-in again.
And Kim will just throw it to the mouth of the goal eh?

\

Kaiouji: Keep calm, don't worry...

sfx: trashtalk

Kaiouji: I can mark him at any time if need be.
Right now I just have to know where he is.

------

(page104)

KOUTA: GIMME THE BALL!!
sfx: GLARE
Guy: Ugh...

\

Guy: Piss off!
Commentator: The sub Nakatsuka's persistence in sticking to his player...
has caused Tsujidou midfielder Seta to pass back to defensive midfielder Fuwa!

\

Nana: They didn't go for a throw-in and passed to the middle instead?

\

sfx: bump
Commentator: A switch in sides! The ball goes to Shindou on the left!

\

Sawamura: There's a chance that they'll go for a throw-in, but we can't let things stay as they are. [K: I think that's his name... Oh no I forgot the ex captain's name ~_~]
Anyway, from now on once the ball goes to the side, we have to defend from the outside...

------

(page105)

sfx: kick
Sawamura: Ah, crap!

\

Nana: This time they went for a throw-in. Could it be that...

\

Kim: I'll do it!!

\

Araki: This is bad!
Araki: It's happening again!

\

Lee: Kaiouji! I'll take care of the forward!
Lee: Look out for number 2 and 3 overlapping!

Kaiouji: Okay!

\

sfx: slam
Commentator: AAAHH! It's Lee! He's so high up!

\

Commentator: The goalkeeper who's just been subbed on, Lee Akitoshi, has made a magnificent jump and tightly caught the ball!

Hasegawa: Urgh!
sfx: whump

Lee: SHAAARGH!

------

(page108)

Commentator: What a display of physical strength!
He's securely defended against Hasegawa despite the latter's larger stature!

Kurebayashi: He's so... so good.
Iwaki: Nice one, Lee-kun!

\

Lee: UOOORGH!!
sfx: WHAM

\

Commentator: And the lob quickly travels to the other half!

Commentator: Tsujidou's defence is short due to Kim's long throw and the resulting push for offence!
If they can maintain possession, this may finally become a chance for Enoshima!

\

Kakeru: Takase-kun had to return for defence, so he isn't here.
Kakeru: It's my turn to connect up our passes and show them!

\

Hyodou: All right! C'mon, Kakeru!

\

Araki: Give me the ball! I'll do it!

(page110)

Tsujidou: All right!
sfx: thump

Commentator: After an intensive header battle, the ball has returned to Tsujidou Academy's Kim!
Both players who contested the ball did a somersault and hit their heads hard. Are they okay?

Tsujidou: Ow, dammit...

Mako: A... are you okay, Kakeru!

\

Mako: Eh?

\

Commentator: Kim dribbles!
Shindou and Seta are on the flanks. And in the middle is Hasegawa, who's ready to create space!

Commentator: Enoshima is suddenly in trouble!

\

Oda: We won't let you into the penalty box!
Horikawa: It's no use no use no use no use! [K: again, give or take a few. XD]

Nana: Suguru-san...

Nana: Whenever he said that, he'd have a really excited expression on his face...
And then Suguru-san would always turn the game around with fanatic energy. [K: the literal translation is that he would definitely turn the game around with energy like he was possessed or fanatic.. lol]

Kakeru: What is it, Seven... why are you mentioning it now?

Kakeru: Of course.

Iwaki: Please give me your opinion.

\

Iwaki: The 2-5-3 "Booby Trap Formation" that we practised...
[the box with kanji (in front of GK) says Tsujidou]

\

Iwaki: has been rendered ineffective because Kaiouji-kun is marking Tsujidou's one-top, Hasegawa-kun.

\

\

Iwaki: Should I switch to the 3-4-3 three-back, double defensive midfielder formation... [K: sounds kinda awkward... ok i admit it, i just like the word "volante", but i guess sylx should decide if it sounds okay :P]

\

Iwaki: Or...

------

(page076)

Nana: It's true that dropping Sakamoto-san, the defensive midfielder on the right, into defence,
allowing him to mark number 9 tightly,

\

Nana: would give Kaiouji-san more freedom to move and would ease the pressure on the defence.

Iwaki: So you think so too?

\

Nana: Wait, Coach!

\

Nana: A proper 3-4-3 might achieve that.

It would invite immediate trouble from long passes. [K: I've never had to look words up in the dictionary more than when Nana talks.]

box on left: 3-4-3 with a man-mark

------

(page077)

Iwaki: I know that, but at this rate, no matter which one we choose...

Nana: Let's try our football, Coach!

\

Nana: Take advantage of the large amount of physical fitness we have from playing beach football.

arrow: offside

box on right: On defence, the spaces are small so the ball can easily be stolen. The opponent's long passes also easily become offside.

box on left: On offence, the frequent passes mean the team is ready to start the wave offence from any position.

Nana: Use a more compact formation. Because the zones are smaller, we can control the ball with rapid passes.
That's Enoshima's football!

\

Kouta: Do you follow this conversation?
small text: I don't get it at all.

Yakumo: O, of course, I'm in the football club, yeah...

\

Iwaki: You've really thought this through, Mishima-san.

\

Nana: What's happened to you, Coach Iwaki?

Even Araki-san couldn't break through that.

Anyway, we have to attack!

Always taking on the responsibility, always thinking of what you should do.

Uryuu: You were like in that match, 10 years ago, too.

\

Uryuu: I'll say only one thing, Teppei.

Uryuu: I think that people who always take the responsibility...

Announcer: Tsujidou Academy's number 9, Hasegawa...
has slashed into Enoshima's goal!! [K: OMG... compare Slam Dunk's Hasegawa and Area no Kishi's Hasegawa!! Same hairstyle!!!]

sfx: ROOOOOAAARRR

Announcer: And his goal was not offside!
1-0!! Tsujidou Academy takes the first goal!!

#58 Possessing True Strength

\

\

Kouta: That... that was offside, wasn't it?
When the number 10 threw the ball in, the number 11 and number 9 were past the final defence line.

Nana: It's nothing to do with the defence line, Kouta-kun.

------

(page050)

Nana: The offside rule isn't applicable to throw-ins in the first place.

Kouta: Eh?

\

Kouta: I... I didn't know. Really?

Yakumo: Are you really in the football club?

\

sfx: grrar... grr...

\

\

Kurebayashi: Damn...
Kaiouji: We were fooled!
horikawa: They resorted to this? Kill kill kill kill!!

sfx: kick kick

\

Kakeru: Deliberately leaving the flank empty in order to steal the ball...

------

(page051)

Kakeru: And then immediately putting the ball out of play so that they can get a long throw into goal.

\

box: offside line

Kakeru: That was why the opponent forward ignored the offside line and entered the penalty area from the start.

\

Nana: Of course Kaiouji-san and Horikawa-san knew that throw-ins don't count under the offside rule.
But they didn't expect a throw-in from that position to fly into the penalty area like a free kick.

Nana: Their minds realised what was happening, but their bodies were too slow to react.

\

Iwaki: It was my misjudgement.
Kakeru: Coach Iwaki!

\

Iwaki: Understanding and combating the opponent's tactics is the job of the coach.

\

Iwaki: The possibility that they prepared this special move did not enter my mind. It's my fault.

Kakeru: That isn't true... That wasn't something easily predicted...

------

(page052)

Iwaki: I knew that this opponent wouldn't be easily predictable.

\

\

Nana: Coach Iwaki?

\

Kondou: Iwaki-kun, the score is still 1-0. How can the coach be shaken by something like this? [K: He's saying, you're a coach. How can you be so disturbed by this small thing?]

Iwaki: Th... That's right.

\

Iwaki: Don't advance carelessly up the sides of the pitch!
Iwaki: And even if that one-top number 9 is offside, Kaiouji-kun, you go mark him!

\

Kaiouji: O... okay!!
Hasegawa: Heh.

------

(page053)

[for each beautiful chapter with 80% art 20% text... there are 5 chapters with 60% text 40% art. Haha I exaggerate. XD]

Kakeru: That's all we can do for now. We don't know when and where they'll strike again with a long throw-in into our penalty area...

Kouta: Damn it! It's so frustrating!

\

Kouta: Although they're both set plays, if it's a free kick then the forward who advances too far in would be offside.
But with a throw-in it still counts even if he aims for behind the goalie, right?

Kurebayashi: Defence, move up a bit!

Hasegawa: Behind him...
sfx: smirk

\

Yakumo: Are you by any chance an idiot?
sfx: freeze

\

Yakumo: screech-
Kouta: grrr-

Kakeru: Ah, he's really doing it!!

\

both: Eh? [dots...]

\

Kurebayashi: You! Where the hell are you wandering off to!!

Kaiouji: You're too deep in, aren't you!!

------

(page054)

Hasegawa: Hehe... Just kidding.

\

Kurebayashi: Was that for real or not?
Kaiouji: Well, anyway, he's got to be marked tightly.

\

Yakumo: Shit, man... what are they screwing around for!?
Nana: No, that was also a ploy.

\

Yakumo: A ploy? Don't you mean a play? [K: This is kinda hard to explain... and despite my love for lame puns I'm not too good at making them. Nana's like "No, that was a "youdou" tactic" which translates to "No, that was a fake" and Yakumo is like "Youdou... don't you mean douyou?" Douyou is what Iwaki was earlier - shaken up, disturbed, etc. Clearly I didn't keep that meaning...]

Kakeru: What do you mean?

\

Nana: Influenced by the fact that the offside rule doesn't apply to throw-ins,
Nana: Coach Iwaki put a man on number 9, Hasegawa.

\

Nana: But because of that, because that number 9 went too far up, even going behind the goalie,

------

(page055)

Nana: one of our only two defenders is now stuck in front of the goal.

Nana: And our goalie Kurebayashi-san is standing too far forward so he's unable to defend the goal. [K: jeez, tell this to Iwaki why don't you]

\

Kakeru: That... That's bad, Seven.

Kakeru: That means the starting point of the counterattack we've used until now,
the 2-5-3 "Booby Trap Formation", will collapse.

\

Nana: Yes, it was originally meant to be a trap to lure the opponent's attacks.

Nana: But that space in between the defence and the midfield can possibly become a "void". [K: or "hole" etc.]

------

(page056)

Oda: Araki!!
sfx: kick

\

Araki: Ugh...
Araki: We're the ones who've had more possession...

\

Araki: I don't know when they'll unleash their missile, so I can't be careless!

\

Tsujidou: GIVE IT! [K: Alternatively, replace with a more realistic manly roar]

sfx: whoa

\

Araki: Ah!
Araki: Ha!

\

Araki: Damn it! Their defence is even better than what old Kondou said.

------

(page057)

Araki: And to make things worse the four-man defence is ignoring the sides and concentrating itself in the middle...

\

Araki: I can't find an damn opening for a through pass at all!

\

Araki: But on the other hand, the empty flank is also a trap...

\

Number 8: HAAARGH!
Araki: Wha! This is the third one!
sfx: whoa

\

Hino: Araki!

sfx: kick
Araki: Take it!

Hino: I know, Mako.
Damn... Provoking me...

Fuwa: Huh?

Fuwa: Weren't you the one who got pissed off so quickly and fouled me?

\

Hino: You...
sfx: slap
Mako: Junpei! Leave it!

\

\

Kaiouji: That number 10 again...
Kaiouji: Even though it's a free kick, that guy might turn it into a throw-in and throw it in front of the goal...

\

Kaiouji: I'll mark this guy just in case.
sfx: turn

\

sfx: dash

\

Iwaki: Oh no!
Iwaki: Kaiouji-kun, move the line up! [K: referring to the offside line.. :D]

\

Kaiouji: Shit!

\

sfx: WHAM
Announcer: Kim takes the free kick quickly!

------

(page062)

Announcer: He's aimed for the space in between Kaiouji, who's marking the one-top Hasegawa,

Announcer: and Oda, who's advanced forward with the intention of attacking! [K: SOOOO AWKWARD...]

\

Kakeru: ba-bump

\

Horikawa: Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit!! [K: well, give or take a few more 'shit's. Basically fill the whole bubble :D]

Announcer: Horikawa's lone, desperate defence!

------

(page063)

Announcer: But Tsujidou midfielder and number 11 Seta's reached the space just a bit faster...

sfx: skrrrrrt

Announcer: He's got it!

\

Announcer: The one-top Hasegawa extends an arm out, but he's being marked by Kaiouji.

\

Announcer: Will Seta go for a direct shot?
Kurebayashi: Come on!

\

\

sfx: kick

Announcer: Eh... a pass to the side!?

Iwaki: The space that was a trap became a hole... [K: or void, or gap, depends on what was used earlier]

Kakeru: ...they're good...... [K: I consider "they're strong" a massive cliche.]

Previously known in the American association football world as the "Little Witch", Nana has received an invitation to join the national female football team, Nadeshiko Japan. She's taken part in a test match... and now what does Nana truly want...?

(page003)

Nakatsuka Kouta

Araki Ryuuichi
A MF with a genius ball sense. He taunts his opponents with what seems like magic... however, he's on a very strict diet.

Takase Michirou
Position FW. Excellent at post plays due to his height of 189cm.

Hyoudou Makoto
Position MF. Araki's partner in stand-up and football, balancing him out.

2-5-3 Formation (black bar under Kurebayashi)
Although it appears to be a super-offence-oriented formation with only 2 defenders, this is actually a flexible formation that takes advantage of the excellent fitness levels of the defending midfield, allowing them to shift position to make 5 defenders when needed. Methods of attack are abundant, including the through passes of MF "Magician" Araki, MF Oda's long passes and FW Matoba's dribble breakthroughs from the wing. FWs Kakeru and Takase may occasionally be in the starting lineup. Thus the Enoshima Eleven are constantly evolving and changing.

There are 4 DFs, with the larger built defenders, Sugama and Akagi, placed in the center. In addition, the defending midfielders, Fuwa and Kumada, are able to nip the buds of their opponents' offence in the midfield. This lineup appears to rely heavily on wing attacks, but Tsujidou Academy, with a reputation of being called 'punks', seems to have another strategy, one that can't be dealt with ordinarily, up their sleeve. Pay careful attention to the playmaker, number 10 MF Kim, and the sole FW Hasegawa!!

#56 Surprising Tactics

\

Guy: The commentary will be given by me, Yamanashi Ichirou,
Girl: and Fukushima of the hallowed Enoshima Broadcasting Club.

\

Announcer: Mmm... The SC and FC have merged,
Announcer: and our school campaign seems to be going better and better!

\

Announcer: The 3 matches so far have been concluded with devastating victories over traditional football veteran schools.
And, if we defeat Tsujidou Academy,

Announcer: we will advance into the Kanagawa Prefectural Tournament!

\

Tsujidou Guys: Shut your mouth!! We'll kill you!
TG: Hey you- if you want to be all poncy, at least do it fairly!
TG: Fukushima-saaan, let me do it!
sfx: gyahaha!

Announcer: Eh... the Tsujidou Academy supporters are being extremely forceful. However, we will not submit!
The result of this game will also be announced tomorrow, Monday, during lunch break...

------

(page008)

Kakeru: So many people are here, Kouta.
small text: There are even people from the broadcasting club!
sfx: waaaaa
Kouta: Yeah, because if we win this, we'll be in the round of 16s.
Ugh... I really want to play!

\

Kakeru: We'll get to even if we're not starting.
Today's opponents feel a little different from our previous opponents.

\

sfx big one at top of panel: walking

sfx mobile phone: type type

sfx gum: blow-

sfx yawn: yawn~

\

Kouta: Yeeaah... they don't look like a team that could have beaten Zennichi University-Affiliated High 4-0 at all.

Kakeru: They came late and they're not even warming up.

\

Nana: Don't underestimate them, guys.

------

(page009)

Nana: They were like that before the last game too.
Once the whistle blew, they got serious unbelievably quickly.

Nana: As for warming up, I think they finished that already.

\

Nana: Look, there's proof. [K: I'd rather not...! D:]
Their shirts are soaked with sweat.

sfx: gyahaha!

Kouta: They... kind of look like a group of assembled punks.

\

Iwaki: Of course.

Kakeru: Coach!

\

Iwaki: If you just look at the ability level of the players in this game, we would come out top.

Iwaki: However, honestly speaking, I don't know what will happen.

\

Iwaki: But, in this 1 week of training, we've developed strategies against them too.
Go and play with confidence!

Team: Yes!

------

(page010)

Announcer: Well then, first up is Eno High's starting lineup!

\

Announcer: The goalkeeper is Kurebayashi Leo, number 1.
He has let in only 3 goals since the beginning of the tournament!

Girls: Eeeeeeeeeee!
Leo-kuuuuun!

\

\

Announcer: The two-back formation that was in place since the beginning of the competition is still present!
The defenders are the physically talented Kaiouji Gou,
Audience: Ooooooohhh! Kaiouji!!
We're cheering for you!

\

Announcer: and the nimble and shrewd "Sniper", Horikawa Akito.

Girls: Eeeeeeew! Horikawa's weird!
Horikawa: [SCARY FONT!] Hey, even if you're girls... I'll kill you kill you kill you...

\

Announcer: The defensive midfielders are the phenomenally fit Oda Ryouma, equally talented in offence and defence,
guarding the middle of the pitch,

Audience: Oda-saaan! [K: seriously... his eyes get bigger and bigger as the manga goes on...]

\

Announcer: and on the left the captain, number 5 Sawamura Yuuji.

Announcer: Sawamura-saaan!

\

Announcer: Playing on the right today is the very tall number 13, Sakamoto.

------

(page011)

Announcer: And the attacking midfielders are Hyoudou Makoto, number 8,
who is good at offence and defence, and a very reliable player...

Announcer: and, of course, the famed Fantasista of Eno High!
The "magician of the 2nd row" [K: so awkward.. ><], number 10, Araki Ryuuichi!

\

Audience: Mako-kuuun!
Audience: Araki-kuuun! Slim down!
sfx: ahaha
Araki: I've lost quite a bit already~!

\

Announcer: And now for the forwards, whose lineup has changed in the games until now due to their variety.

\

Announcer: The "Technician", number 7, Matoba Kaoru.

Girls: Aaaaaaaaah! Kaoru-kuuun!!

Girls: So cuuuuute!! [heart]

\

Matoba: P... please don't call me cute.
sfx: sigh

Announcer: The center forward is the ace striker, who has scored 3 goals so far... number 9, Hino Junpei! [K: <3]

Audience: Hino!! Don't let us down!!

\

sfx: whooooosh
Announcer: And newly on the left is a tall forward from the 1st year...

------

(page012)

Announcer: Takase Michirou, the "Enoshima Tower"!!

sfx: CRACKLE CRACK

Takase: Wha... why "Enoshima Tower"!?

\

Kakeru: Go, Eno High!

Kouta, Nana: Go, Go, Enoshima Tower!!

first set of words: He's so tall...
second set of words: ahaha

\

Announcer: Now I've just been handed the files of the Tsujidou Academy team members. I'll do a simple introduction.

\

Announcer: The goalkeeper is number 1, Onizuka Makio.

\

Announcer: There are 4 defenders. On the right...

Announcer: is number 4, Ishikawa Kei.

\

Announcer: Center backs are number 2, Akagi Touru,

\

Announcer: and number 3, Sugama Shou. [K: i like this guy, he seems more designed than the others bar fuwa, kim and hasegawa :D]

\

Announcer: On the left is number 5, Honda Kenta.

------

(page013)

Announcer: The defensive midfielders are number 6, Fuwa Kinichi,

\

Announcer: and number 8, Kumada Kazuo.

\

Announcer: There are 3 attacking midfielders. On the right is number 11, Seta Shintarou.

\

Announcer: The playmaker is number 10,

Announcer: Kim Dae Sun.

\

Announcer: And on the left is number 7, Shindou Nobuaki.

\

Announcer: Lastly the one forward is number 9, Hasegawa Kyousuke.

------

(page014)

Announcer: Both center backs are tall enough
Announcer: to rival our Takase, it seems.

\

Announcer: The only forward Hasegawa is also very tall.

Announcer: In fact, the whole starting lineup is in great fighting... no, physical shape. [K: this announcer is a big old dickweed >.>]

\

Kim: Hey, Shou! Move down!
Do you want me to kill you, asshole!?

Shou: Shut up, Kim! I get it!

\

Announcer: Tsujidou's past 3 games, with scores of 2-0, 4-0 and 3-1, result in a total goal count of 9.
They are probably an offensive team that takes advantage of their excellent fitness.

\

Announcer: However, we hope that their rough style of play will be toned down a bit today.

Tsujidou: Huuuuuh!? Hey, you shitface Broadcasting Club, don't be looking down on us!

sfx: thunk (baseball bat, punk is holding it)

\

Kakeru: It... it sort of feels like a pro wrestling match...

Yakumo: Oh? If there's gonna be a fight leave it to me!

\

Fuwa: Oh? Aren't you Hino-Jun?

Fuwa: So you left the guys to play football again, eh?

------

(page015)

Hino: Fuwa...? What's someone like you doing here?

\

Fuwa: Eh? I'll tell you something, dumbass.
You won't get to do anything in this game!

Hino: Huh?

\

Mako: Leave it, Junpei. It's time for kick-off.
sfx: thump

\

[K: PUNKFACE!~!]

\

Announcer: Enoshima starts off with the ball in the first half.

Nana: No, it's more like they tackled him out of the ref's main line of sight, thus appearing to do it perfectly. They seem to have done their research. They know that the pass route between Oda-san and Araki-san is a main component of our offence.

\

Announcer: The ball's been picked up by midfielder Shindou, number 7!

Announcer: But Eno High's number 13, Sakamoto, is marking him tightly!

\

Sakamoto: You won't get past!

\

\

Araki: Look out, Sakamoto!

\

Sakamoto: Wha?

(page019)

Sakamoto: S... shit!
sfx: kick

Kakeru: It's a side out!

\

Announcer: Oh! Tsujidou Academy's Shindou misjudged his kick! [K: haha, no.]

Announcer: Fortunately the ball deflected off Sakamoto and Tsujidou has been awarded a throw-in.

\

Tsujidou: Whoaaaaa!! Go Kim!!
sfx: WHOA

Announcer: Oh! The playmaker Kim is going for the throw-in.
But I wonder why there's such a big commotion?

\

Announcer: It's only a throw-in close to the center line,
but cheers reminiscent of those from an awarded penalty kick are coming from the stands.

\

No.3: All right!
sfx: dash

\

Kakeru: The center backs are moving!
Nana: It's starting.

\

Iwaki: Takase-kun, cover the goal!!
Takase: Y, yes!

------

(page020)

Announcer: Hmmm... what are these movements?

Announcer: Has Hasegawa made a careless mistake?
And the two tall center backs are running towards Eno High's goal like the wind.

\

Announcer: No, Eno High's defence is also unexpectedly tightening in front of the goal.
I don't know what this means!

Uryuu: Heh, well, you will soon.

\

Announcer: Kim Dae Sun, number 10...

Announcer: What!?

Announcer: Whaaaaat!? What... what was that throw-in!?

\

Announcer: Don't tell me... don't tell me it'll reach Hasegawa?

------

(page025)

Announcer: It... it did!!

\

announcer: A throw-in that flew a distance of 30 metres... as if it were a free kick...

Announcer: It reached him!

(page026)

Hasegawa: I got iiitt!!
sfx in bg: WHOA

\

Kakeru: Ta... Takase-kun!!
Announcer: E... Eno High is suddenly in trouble!!

#53 Nana Mishima [the JP order is this way and it's in katakana. Probably referencing the English way to order it.]

Iwaki: This character's feelings can be compared to Beckham's, after missing a free kick. [K: WTF??]

Iwaki: This will be in the test!

\

Kakeru: I wonder what's up with Seven... She didn't come to practice at the park yesterday night either...

\

Kouta: Hey Kakeru, what's up with Nana-chan? Is it a cold?
sfx: whisper

Kakeru: No, I'm not sure.
She didn't sound like she had one on the phone last night.

\

Kouta: Huh...
small text: Must be nice to have Nana-chan's number...
Kakeru: Ah, but she'll definitely come for football team practice. [K: football club? football team? lol]
Seems like there was a huge upset in yesterday's game between Zennichi University-Affiliated High School and Tsujidou Academy. We're going to talk about it today. [K: If it's too long, I'll try to shorten it.]

\

Takase: What's this about a 'huge upset'?!
sfx: pop up
Kouta: Takase, don't be so obvious!
[small text] You're so tall!

------

(page128)

Kakeru: Zennichi University-Affiliated High are old champions, but they couldn't mark Tsujidou Academy and were destroyed.
Kakeru: As in '4-0' destroyed.

\

Guys: 4-0?!
Kakeru: Shh!

\

Iwaki: Yup... I knew there would be trouble, but I didn't think it would be 4-0...
It was the right decision to leave Kondou-sensei and Mishima-san there...

Guys: Whoa, sensei!

Kakeru: Indeed!

\

Students: Iwaki-senseeei! Please continue with the lesson!
Iwaki: Ah!
sfx: doh

\

Iwaki: Eh... th... then, please open up to page 20 of your textbook.

Kakeru: ......
I really want to hear about yesterday's Tsujidou Academy game...

\

Kakeru: What can Seven be doing...

------

(page129)

announcer: It's the Japanese national team, Nadeshiko Japan, against Miami Hurricane, an American team who placed third in last year's Soccer League, in an exhibition match!

sfx: waaaa

announcer: 0-2 down in the second half, it seems like there's going to be a substitution!

\

announcer: Number 17 of the national team, forward Ooshita, is being replaced...

announcer: by number 7, Mishima... that's right.

\

announcer: Eh... I haven't been given any information about Mishima...
She's quite young... I wonder what kind of player she is?

announcer: Number 10 Isshiki has moved up to become a forward, and it seems she's become the playmaker.

\

announcer: Isshiki was originally a forward, and she's the only one who's performed well today.

announcer: Perhaps Coach Gotou wants her to go for goals more actively.

------

(page130)

announcer: But putting a young, nameless player in the playmaker position...
It's quite unexpected.

American 10: She's pretty skinny... [K: or reedy, twiggy, scrawny etc.]

\

A10: Wonder if they sent her in to confuse us. [K: alternatively, replace 'confuse us' with 'mess us up', 'make us confused']

A10: But I think I've seen her before...

\

sfx: tweeeeet

\

Isshiki: First you have to show me that you're not just all talk, Mishima-san.

Isshiki: Otherwise you'll be putting the Coach into a difficult position, letting nameless old you join the national team.

\

Nana: I understand.

\

\

USA: She doesn't look too tough.

sfx: dash

USA: I'll go greet her with my shoulder...

------

(page131)

USA: Won't you give that to me? [K: don't ask me what language she's speaking, the font doesn't change .-.]

\

sfx black: spin
sfx white: snap

\

USA: Wha... What is this girl?

\

Isshiki: Amazing! Even though the larger-built American crashed into her,

Isshiki: she took it like a willow tree swaying in the wind, and after bearing it for a moment she left her behind!

------

(page132)

Nana: Hehe... For one an a half years,
I've played against the full power of a male.

Nana: My body's become used to it!

\

USA: You-
sfx: whoo

\

announcer: Ah... Mishima gets past another one!
announcer: Wha... what is...

\

Isshiki: Her body is flexible and soft and her movements are quick and light.

Isshiki: Chasing her is just like chasing a fleeing cat: they won't catch her!

\

USAs: Defence on her!!

sfx: slice

announcer: She's... she's unstoppable! Unstoppable!

------

(page133)

Announcer: Number 7, Mishima Nana,
has passed three people just by herself!

Announcer: In just a moment she'll take the ball into the penalty area! There is a chance!!

\

USA: Th... this is bad! Another one on her!

\

Announcer: Aaaaah, but two large defenders are coming!
sfx: WHOA [maybe put it in high impact font down the first character (on the left). You can play around to truly create a WHOA effect]

\

Takeda: C... cute...
sfx: daze
Guy: Huh?

\

Nana: Did you see that, Isshiki-san? [K: she's not really asking her happily, it's more like a 'See? I can do it!' sort of thing, is it clear?]
Isshiki: That was amazing, Mishima-sa... no, Nana-chan!!

\

9: You can really play!
Girl: Nana-chan, was it?! That was an amazing chip!!

\

Nana: Thank you very much!! [K: yay for dots scanning error!]

\

Isshiki: But we're still 1 goal down.
And they won't let another dribble break through like that next time.
Nana: I understand.

\

Nana: But with that play...
Nana: the image of my dribble and chip shot will be imprinted in their minds.

\

Nana: So...
sfx: whisper

(page138)

Nana: I'll be counting on you, Isshiki-san!

\

Isshiki: Wh... what a girl...

\

Isshiki: All right, everyone! We still have lots of time.
We'll take charge of the game and turn it around!!

Isshiki: Let's go, Nadeshiko Japan!

Announcer: But this time she's being tightly marked. Will she be able to do a repeat performance of just now?

\

sfx: look
sfx: look

\

Isshiki: She's really an amazing girl. She doesn't have to look down at her feet to dribble at all.
She's always aware of the entire pitch, ready to seize opportunities.

\

Isshiki: She hasn't been in a team since returning to Japan.
Isshiki: How on earth did she keep up on her technique and football sense?

\

USA: Damn it... will she dribble here?
USA: Or maybe... will she do a long shot from there...

\

\

sfx: Whoosh

\

sfx: dash
USA: She's coming!! Dribbling!

(page141)

\

sfx: wham

\

Announcer: It may have looked like a dribble...

Announcer: but she seized the opportunity and did a pass!!

\

Announcer: The team was influenced by the image of her sudden first goal.

Announcer: The ball's cut through the defence!

(page142-143)

Announcer: The beautiful through pass goes through like a paintbrush on a green canvas!

has scored the equalising goal!!

------

(page145)

sfx: aaaaaaaaaaaaaa (continuing cheers from previous page, waa waa works i guess)
Nana: Yeah!!

Girl: Nice one, Tae-san!!
Girl: Aah!

\

Isshiki: Nice pass, Nana-chan!
sfx: clap/slap/lol whatever...
Nana: Yes!

\

\

USA: I... I remember that girl now!
USA2: Eh?

------

(page146)

USA: That... that girl... two years ago, she was the youngest player to debut in the US league. [K: I don't know the actual name of the league, the text says 'Premier League', which smacks heavily of 'England's league is called the Premier League so let's just use that name for the US!']
She amazed everybody, finishing with a hat-trick.

USA: And when that child prodigy was just about to break the record for consecutive goals, she disappeared.

\

USA: The "Little Witch".

USA: Nana Mishima!

Area no Kishi
Chapitre 03
La passe pour les vrais de vrai*

*Comme tous les choix discutables en traduction, je justifie juste celui-ci par rapport à la version anglaise. Si on traduit littéralement on a « la passe difficile » en se référant à une passe qui est difficile à rattraper. Dans le chapitre, ce « harsh pass » fait référence directement au fait que les attaquants, qui sont capables de rattraper les passes de Suguru, ne sont pas n’importe qui. Comme dans le langage jeun’s -populaire (voire vulgaire), on utilise souvent (et même dans le langage sportif) l’expression « être un vrai/ vrai de vrai », j’ai décidé de la reprendre, car ce choix correspond à ce que l’auteur voulait exprimer à travers ce titre. On dit souvent « putain ! ce type c’est un vrai / vrai de vrai ! ». La traduction littérale ne me semble ici pas appropriée du tout, car elle est d’une part trop équivoque, et d’autre part la capacité des attaquants à rattraper ces passes y est beaucoup trop implicite, alors que c’est le cœur du chapitre. D’autres approches sont possibles, ce n’est qu’une question de point de vue. Mais le titre que j’ai choisi, prendra pour vous tout son sens vers le milieu-fin du chapitre.

Every scanlation group can use this translation.

Nishijima : Hmph, tu te fous de moi ou quoi ? C’était un arrêt bidon.

Kouta : Hé Nishijima, pourquoi tu la fermer…
Nishijima : Hein ?
[Énervé]
Kouta : Enfoiré ! Je vais te buter ! Allons régler ça dehors ! § attends… on est déjà dehors… §
Seven : Je pense aussi que ce tir était largement arrêtable…

Kouta : Eh ?
[Papa a encore raison !]

-----Page 5-----
Seven : En fait, au moment où Kakeru s’apprêtait à frapper du gauche…

Seven : il a fait un pas de plus pour tirer du droit, / et cette seconde de perdue a laissé le temps au gardien de partir du bon côté.

Seven : S’il avait tiré du pied gauche, il y aurait probablement eu but !

-----Page 8-----
Kouta : Kakeru a rejoint le club dès son entrée au collège. / Comme il était le frère de Suguru-san, tout le monde plaçait de grands espoirs en lui.

Kouta : Mais… / même s’il était rapide et technique…
Kouta : y’avait un truc qui clochait chez lui.

Kouta : Il ne pouvait pas utiliser du tout son pied gauche…
Kouta : Au final, il n’a jamais marqué le moindre but durant un match, même quand il avait des occases

Kouta : ça lui a mis énormément de pression sur les épaules, et ça a rendu ces tirs pires qu’avant… / c’est pourquoi lors de tous les matches amicaux internes ou inter-collèges, il n’a jamais marqué le moindre but.

Kouta : Et il a été surnommé / « M. Zérobut » .
[Bizarrement, il a été surnommé « l’obsédé sexuel ».]

Kouta : eh bien, faut reconnaître que niveau trucs soûlants, Kakeru a eu sa part du gâteau.

-----Page 9-----
Kouta : ça doit être lourd d’être sans cesse comparé à un grand frère aussi doué… § J’aurais probablement pété un câble. §

Filles : Wowwww ! Suguru-senpai a trop la classe !
Filles : Vas-y tire !

Kouta : Ouais c’est sûr, j’aurais carrément pété un câble ! § À plus d’un titre ! §

Nishijima : TRANSFORMATION, TROIS POINTS ! / AIZAWA KAKERU A TRANSFORMÉ L’ESSAI* !

Nishijima : Bravo, c’était une véritable transformation!
Kouta : Pffff…

Seven : …… (verticalement)

Kakeru : Huh… / huh…
Kakeru : Huh… / huh…

*Juste une précision. Ici, la blague de Nishijima est faite par rapport à une image sportive spécifique (dans la version US du chapitre), à savoir celle du baseball, qui est ici utilisée au sens figuré, pour souligner l’ironie de la situation. Il faut savoir que le baseball est un sport national au Japon. En France, on comparerait plutôt le tir de Kakeru à une transformation de rugby. On comprendrait la blague de Nishijima en reprenant l’image du baseball, mais culturellement nous n’utilisons pas la même image que les Japonais, tout simplement parce que ce sport n’est pas populaire chez nous. Voilà pourquoi j’ai opté pour cette traduction, qui fait partie des choix de traduction discutables, mais qui me semble le meilleur. En effet, on entre ici dans les équivalences culturelles pour les sports. Considérez cela comme une expression. Dans beaucoup d’expressions, on n’utilise pas la même image pour se référer à la même chose. C’est le même principe ici. Ça fait partie des différences culturelles.

-----Page 14-----
Kakeru : Le prochain sera…
Suguru : Cède ta place, Kakeru.

Kakeru : Quoi ?

Suguru : Retourne sur le banc.

Kuni : J’ai dépensé trop d’énergie à essayer de maintenir le marquage sur lui. / Je n’aime pas l’admettre, mais après toutes ces courses mon genou ne répondait plus.
Nishi : …. (verticalement)

Nishi : M.. mais, Kakeru n’a pas converti une seule des passes de Suguru-san, alors que moi j’ai marqué sur ma première…
Kuni : Tu n’as rien remarqué du banc ?
Nishi : hein ?

Kuni : combien crois-tu qu’il y ait d’attaquants au Japon… capables de recevoir les véritables passes de Suguru ?

-----Page 28-----
Kuni : Il n’aurait jamais fait ce genre de passes / à Ishikawa ou Endou, et pourtant tous deux sont titulaires ! Et à toi il t’en a fait ?
Joueur : Merci, senpai !
Suguru : pas d’souci.
Kuni : En revanche…

Kuni : les passes pour Kakeru, et Kakeru seul,

Kuni : étaient toutes ses meilleures.

Kuni : aurait le niveau pour jouer sur la scène nationale… non,

5- As long as he is hungry, he will just cry. That is why he was brought up till like this…
6- That’s enough, mom! Don’t let her see anymore!
7- Hah… I finally understood why Kakeru was so surprised on why was a player that is so gifted in football, // was so unheard of despite being in the U15 national team when he was in the third year of his middle school.
8- Sfx: Wave wave
9- Seven, you’re right! I found so many of these.
10- Take a look for yourself.
11- Sfx: Tadah

Page 3
1- Hah… Kakeru, you’re sneaky fellow. We have no idea where you went to and it turns out that you are in my room!
2- But I did get hold of auntie’s permission.
3- No problem at all. All this is for my son’s future.
4- For a person, who is undergoing diet, all these will be confiscated.
5- I will be distributing them to the neighbor kids.
6- Wah, you shouldn’t take them away!
7- We hope to count on you after this, Auntie!
8- No problem. Leave it to me, Nana!
9- Sfx: Silence
10- You heard that Ryuuichi? From today onwards your rice consumption for dinner will be reduced by half. And also, no more extra meals.
11- In order to prevent you from buying snacks secretly, your allowance will be safe keep.
12- If you want to purchase anything just let Mama know. // I can get them from the net for you. // We could also save from this.
13- Wah Hah…
14- Let’s go, Kakeru.
15- Yeah. // I’m so sorry about this, Sempai. This is for the sake of sempai and the football team.
16- Wait a minute, Kakeru.
17- !
18- If you have the time to spare, why don’t you worry about yourself instead of others?
19- …!

Page 4
1- If your ball gets stolen away in a one-on-one situation, you will never be a qualified forward!
2- During training or facing off against an opponent, your instinct and judgment ability might be of use.
3- …
4- But a forward that cannot handle a one-on-one situation can never go against someone who is better than he is.
5- Yes…
6- Relax.
7- !
8- Hah!
9- For Kakeru’s matter, just leave it to me.
10- I have known Kakeru for a long time and I am very clear of the reason behind it.
11- …
12- …

Page 5
1- Speaking of sempai... Please do not be so stubborn. Please keep yourself in the best conditions… // at least until the Tournament preliminaries are over.
2- Cheh!
3- Then sorry for the interruptions.
4- We have to go now.
5- Although she is a bit strict, she is still a good manager. Even her smile is cute.
6- That smile was a fake. But I have to admit that she can be incredible.
7- Sfx: Smack
8- Ouch!
9- I’m sorry. I’ve promised someone already.
10- Wah, don’t be that strict. I promise that I will start dieting seriously tomorrow!
11- You always say that you will start tomorrow, but you never did!
12- …
13- Miser! A fat miser!
14- Aren’t you fat yourself too?

Page 6
1- I’ve to go out now.
2- Nii-san.
3- …
4- Sfx: Whoosh
5- Wah, not again!
6- Haven’t you realized why is it that your ball is easily stolen away?
7- Because Nii-san is amazing!
8- That’s incorrect. Although you and I are of different types, but speaking of your ball senses. Your potential isn’t that half as that bad compared to mine. // The problem is…
9- Sfx: Gulp
10- …

Page 7
1- Figured it out yourself!
2- Eh…? // You only say it through halfway…
3- I am not even your sensei. // No matter how long or how much you ask me, you will never be on par with me.
4- Why is that?
5- … // I just want to remind you.
6- !
7- Think for a moment. Why is your weapon ‘running with the ball’?
8- And during a one-on-one situation, how does it become a hindrance?
9- ?

Page 8
1- At that time, Nii-san was informing me about my weakness.
2- But all I think is just to want to score. // When Nii-san spoke those words, I didn’t pay much attention to them. And they were soon forgotten.
3- Nii-san.
4- What is my weakness exactly…?
5- This time round, I have to win!
6- Sfx: Bam
7- Wah, it happened again.
8- …

Page 9
1- !
2- What is it, Kakeru?
3- This cannot go on!
4- Like what Araki-sempai had said. I wouldn’t have a chance to become a regular if this continues on.
5- …
6- But, you won’t tell me. There is no meaning in it if I don’t find it out by myself.
7- If it isn’t for this…
8- Kakeru…
9- Sfx: Sigh
10- What do you thinks support your judgment?
11- Huh?
12- That is…

Page 10
1- The first is instinct. // It is also the ability to expect what happens in future. You know where the ball’s direction will go beforehand.
2- But it isn’t just that.
3- There is also your specialty, ‘Run with the ball’, …
4- Sfx: Bam
5- Nii-san had told me before.
6- Ba-Bump…
7- There is a weakness to my strength.
8- Once I have shrug off the defender and enter into the penalty area…
9- It wouldn’t be a problem for me to speedy and accurately shoot the ball into the goal.
10- I don’t think that is that much of a difficulty for anyone to do it once they are on the field.

Page 11
1- There is only a one second difference between the ball’s position and you.
2- That is why the direction could be different from expected.
3- Ba-Bump
4- …
5- Ba-Bump
6- You should have been aware of this after such a long time…
7- Wait a minute, Seven.
8- …
9- Ba-Bump
10- Concentration?

Page 12
1- That’s right!
2- It is just like ‘Instinct’, Kakeru’s most powerful weapon.
3- That is your concentration on the ball.
4- That is why if the concentration in front of the goal is disrupted, the situation wouldn’t be looking any good.
5- I finally understood this, Seven!
6- I was too focused on the ball itself, especially when I’m in a one-on-one situation.

Page 13
1- That’s right. When Kakeru is trying to fake his opponent,
2- He will always exhibit his habit of trying to determine where the ball is.
3- That is why during a one-on-one with Kakeru, // as long as I focus on Kakeru’s eyes, I can tell what is your next actions.
4- You can try it out.
5- Sfx: Kick
6- Eh… Okay.
7- As long as I find out about this,
8- It would be simple to neutralize your attack.
9- At the moment when Kakeru’s eyes are …
10- Trying to determine the ball’s location…

Page 14
1- Sfx: Whoosh
2- Hah!
3- Look at it. // Because you are too focus on the ball, you failed to take notice of your opponent’s actions.
4- That is why the ball is easily tackled away.
5- …
6- Now that I know of it, it can be changed. // As long as I don’t focus too much on the ball and determine my opponent’s next course of action when faking, it should be all right, isn’t it?
7- Logically speaking, yes. But your bad habits will still reveal themselves during the match.

Page 15
1- Then… that means I have to practice more.
2- I have to practice until the point where I don’t have to regularly pay attention to the ball while faking!
3- …
4- Do you want to try to put this mask on?
5- Huh…
6- How does it feel?
7- What is this use for?
8- You don’t expect me to practice kicking the ball…
9- Under such a small area of visual perception? // Even it is even difficult for me to breathe.
10- I can only practice with somebody this late in the night.
11- That is why I should be practicing hard under this short period of time.
12- …
13- Seven, does have her secrets…

Page 16
1- !
2- Huh? What is that pleasant smell?
3- Wah… This is the smell of her facial wash!
4- ?
5- Come on, Kakeru.
6- Hah…
7- Don’t tell me that this is an indirect kiss…!
8- Sfx: Lift
9- Wah…
10- Sfx: Wham
11- Wah hah!
12- What are you looking at? // I’m coming over and get it now.

Page 17
1- Argh… I can’t see anything, the mask is slanted.
2- Wah…
3- Damn, where is the ball?
4- Kakeru!
5- !?
6- The ball… where is it?
7- He is looking for the ball!
8- Ugh!
9- No, there is no meaning if you look at the ball if you’re faking…

Page 18
1- !?
2- The ball…
3- Disappeared?
4- The ball…
5- Where has it gone to?

Page 19
1- Sfx: Swish
2- !?

Page 20
1- Weird?
2- I managed to get through?
3- Kakeru… Just now what happened?
4- Huh?
5- …
6- …

Enoshima 11: What?! I'm not in the group photo?! But I'm a starter...
sfx head: SHOCK

Kondou sfx: pat

Three stooges sfx: YEAH-! [K: long dash please, otherwise don't bother]

Enoshima 12: Isn't it already good to be a starter? Damn... damn Kurebayashi!

Enoshima 13: Well, well...

Enoshima 8 (LEEEEEEEEEEEE): I'll be the no. 1 keeper one of these days.

(page169)

sfx: waa-
waa- [wow, wow?]

\

Kouta: Wow, it's amazing... damn it! Schools with money really are different.
It doesn't only have the normal turf pitch, but also a small audience stand?!

Takase: Not to mention the fact that Keisou is a good university to go to, and that their football program is strong too... it's really frustrating.

Yakumo: They must get all the girls!
Matoba: Wow... such honest jealousy.

\

Nana: That's because a lot of excellent junior athletes were recommended to this school because of sports.

\

Kakeru: But it's really not advantageous for us to play our opponents on their grounds.

Kaoru: Being away has some good points, too.

\

??: Hey, Kakeru, Kouta, Mishima-san!

------

(page170)

Yuusuke: Hi.

\

Kakeru: Yuusuke!

Kouta: Oh, what are you doing here?
To chat up some cheerleaders?

Yuusuke: You know, Kouta, you haven't progressed at all.

\

Yuusuke: I came to cheer for you, of course!

\

Kakeru: Thanks! [K: or 'yeah', 'yes'... dunno really]

------

(page171)

Yuusuke: Kunimatsu-san's here too.
Kakeru: Really?
Yuusuke: Ah, and Nishijima too.
Kouta: Gaah, why him too?

\

Yuusuke: And also maybe one more person.
Kunimatsu: Hey, Yuusuke!

\

Yuusuke: Ah! I'm coming!

\

sfx: nod

\

sfx: grin

\

Kunimatsu: Do your best, Kakeru!
[small text] You too, Kouta.

Kakeru: I will!

sfx Nishijima: flash ?

\

Sawamura: What are you doing, guys? It's time to line up!
K/K: Ah... yes, we're coming!

------

(page172)

Yuusuke: Are you playing in today's game, Kakeru?
Kakeru: I don't know. I'm in the bench, but I don't know if I'll play...

\

Kakeru: But if I do play, I'll definitely score for you.
Kakeru: In front of you and the others!

\

Yuusuke: All right!
sfx: bump

\

Crowd: Do your best, Keisou!!
sfx: eeeek
eeeeek [K; or you know, kyaa, kyaa]

Crowd: Go, Go, K.E.I.S.O.U!

\

sfxs: eeeek/kyaa

Kouta: Damn it~ We've got supporters too, but the majority of the crowd supports our opponents.

Yakumo: They're not just Keisou students, but also students from the girl's school opposite, damn it!

GIrls: Do your best, Nakajima-kun~~~~~~~<3

------

(page173)

sfx under arm: eeek/kyaa
Nakajima: Yeah.

sfx Nakajima left: rustle

sfx left to that: eeek/kyaa

sfx Yakumo/Kouta: anger

small text: And what's with the rustling?

\

Mako: That Nakajima guy may look like a player, [K: flirt kind of player, feel free to choose another word if meaning is ambiguous]
But he's a regular for the Shounan Junior team. [K: shounan is an area in Kanagawa.]

\

Mako?: Oh, Shimatani from the Yokohama Junior Team is here too. [K: Yokohama is a city in Kanagawa.]
sfx: eeek/kyaa

sfx hair: flutter

Girls: Love you, Shimatani-kun~~~~~<3

sfx: eeek/kyaa

\

Girls: Aaaaah, look here!
Kouta: And he's fluttering!

sfx: eeek/kyaa [x3]

Girls: So cool~~~~~<3

\

Mako: Right now these guys are aiming to enter the J-League from their club teams.
If they didn't want to join the national team they would go to Keisou.

\

Mako: They think that instead of deciding to bet their future on football,
finding a good company after graduating from Keisou would be smarter.
[small text] Like paving their future paths.

Kouta/Yakumo: We'll get them!

\

\

Kouta: We're pretty cool today, aren't we!
sfx: thump
Yakumo: Yeah.
We'll beat them to pieces!

(page174)

Announcer: Well... now then, this the second match of the first round of high school football preliminaries in Kanagawa,
Enoshima High School against Keisou University-Affiliated Shounan High School.

Guy 3: Pffh.

\

\

ODAAAAAAAA: What's with that frivolous attitude?!
Hey, Araki...

\

\

Oda blushing: Araki...

------

(page175)

Kouta: Damn it, they're looking down on us!

\

Takase: That's because last year, we only reached the second round of preliminaries.

Takase: Of course Keisou, who progressed to the Inter-High and reached the quarterfinals, would think nothing of us.

\

Nana: It's fine! We're a completely different team from that time!

Kakeru: Yep, definitely!

\

Kakeru: Is that right, nii-chan? Eno High is strong.
sfx: ba-bump
sfx: ba-bump
Kakeru: and the genius Araki that you acknowledged is here.

\

Kakeru: But...
Kakeru: because everyone in Kamakura is here to watch us, losing here would be...

\

Kakeru: What?!

\

???: Hey, Kunimatsu, Yuusuke.

------

(page176)

\

Kunimatsu: Ta... Takajou-san! You came!
Takajou: Yeah.

\

Guy 1: Takajou? Hey-
sfx: mutter...
Guy 2: Kamakura's ace is here!
Guys 3: What, no way! Takajou Akira from the U-19 team?!
[small text] Scoping out Keisou?

\

Kakeru: Takajou-san came!

------

(page177)

Takajou: Oh, seems like I just made it in time for the kick-off.

sfx: plop

Yuusuke/Nishijima: Sempai! [K: okay, i have no idea actually, so I half made something half referred to Chinese.]

\

Takajou: Yuusuke, where's Suguru's brother? Is he not playing?

Yuusuke: Yes. He's on the bench right now, but he'll definitely play.

\

Takajou: Is he really worth watching for me to come here?

\

sfx: thump

Takajou: I'll punch you if this game is boring, yeah?

\

sfx: ka ka ka

Yuusuke small text: Ouch...
Yuusuke: Y... yes, I think that you'll be glad you came.

\

\

Takajou: Excellent.

------

(page178)

\

Nakajima: Hey, Shimatani, the three forwards are here.

Shimatani: More important is that number 10, Nakajima.

\

Nakajima: Hey, hey, his stomach is kind of big, isn't it?
Nakajima: Their playmaker, an important part of the team, is a fatass, and have you seen their defence line?

\

Shimatani: Huh?
Shimatani: There are only two defenders? That means...

------

(page179)

Nakajima: they're 2-5-3.
Shimatani: For real?!
Nakajima: Do they really think they can stop our offence with only two defenders?

\

Shimatani: A super-attacking-type team that's full of themselves, huh?

Nakajima: Huh... they piss me off! Let's decide this game in the first half!

\

sfx: tweeeet
Narrator: Kickoff!

\

\

sfx: dash

\

Shimatani: Go,
Shimatani: Nakajima!

\

sfx: kick
Nakajima: Right! Thanks!!

------

(page180)

Kunimatsu: They're targeting the gaps in the defence.

\

Nishijima: Heh, already in trouble...

\

Takajou: I see, that's why they're playing 2-5-3... [K: as a side note, i hate people who are all like I SEE... and refuse to tell you anything for the next few chapters/volumes/ever. ALA SEVEN.]

Kunimatsu: Eh?

\

\

sfx: rush

Nakajima: Wha!

\

Horikawa: It's no use, it's no use~~~~!
sfx: dash

\

Kunimatsu: They're going to cover them. It's like they were waiting for them.

\

Yuusuke: The defenders have closed in. There's nowhere to go except the side...

------

(page181)

sfx: kick
Bubble: Shit!

\

sfx: thwap
Keisou Guy: All right!

\

sfx: bam bam [K: bam =- pop out of nowhere??]
Guy: What?! Isn't their defence supposed to be really thin?

\

Guy: Feh!
sfx: wham

\

Nishijima: They've sent up a cross! Their ace Nakajima will get it!

\

Takajou: A rabbit that falls into a trap can do nothing.

\

sfx: flash

\

sfx: flash

\

Nana: It's been going ideally so far, Coach Iwaki.
Iwaki: Yes.

------

(page182)

Bubble: Because the SC used their retreat defence at the right time,

Bubble: the opponent fell into the trap: the gap in the defence, left open on purpose.

\

Iwaki?: This formation allows the team to steal the ball and turn the attack around. It's called...

sfx Oda: crash
sfx ball: bump

Iwaki: the booby trap formation.

\

Nishijima: No... no way!

\

ODAAAAAA: WHAM

\

sfx: thump

\

Kakeru: Yes, as expected of Oda-san!
Kakeru: His pass over that distance went to Mako-san's feet perfectly!

------

(page183)

Iwaki: And now it's time for FC-style pass work, accurate yet free.

Nana: Mako-san's drawing his markers into the middle of the pitch.
And this time it's the left side that's open.

\

Nana: Yakumo-kun from the defence has overlapped and is open.

\

sfx: bump

\

Yakumo: Araki-san.
sfx: kick

\

sfx: dash

Shimatani: Fatass, you're too slow and clumsy!

------

(page184)

sfx: thump

\

Shimatani: What?!

\

Guy: Y... you!
sfx: dash

\

sfx: kick

------

(page185)

5: What's with this fatass?!

\

Kakeru: W... wow, he used his heel to kick the ball over Shimatani-san's head,

Kakeru: and then he passed it under another one!

\

\

Takajou: Araki Ryuuichi, huh... he's become so fat that he looks like a completely different person.
Ah, he made an amazing team with Suguru during training camp for the U-15 team.

Yuusuke: Ah, that makes sense.
Even though I've heard some things about him from Kakeru, he's still amazing.

\

Araki: Kaoru!
Kaoru: Okay!

\

sfx: cut [K: or slice etc]

------

(page186)

Kaoru: Hino-san!
sfx foot: kick
sfx Hino near ball: bam

Hino: Ah!

\

\

Takase: The goalie is right-handed. If it was me...

\

sfx Hino: approach
sfx goalie: rush

\

sfx: stop

\

Goalie: The other side?!
sfx: rush

\

------

(page187)

Bubble: From under?!
sfx black: kick
sfx white: rustle [K: diff from before]

\

BUbble: Goal, 1-0!
Hino: Hell yeaaaah!!

\

Kakeru: Yes!
Kouta: We scored first!

\

Nana: As expected of Hino-san.
Nana: After being blocked in similar circumstances by the goalie in the training camp,
he's immediately adjusted his shot.

\

------

(page188)

Araki: Yes! One goal to start off with!
Mako: Yeah!

\

Both: To... "to start off with"...?!

\

\

sfx: whack

\

sfx: WHAM
guy: Ugh!

\

Bubble: It's Eno High again!

\

Iwaki: Kakeru-kun, Takase-kun, and Kouta-kun, please start warming up.

Three: Eh?

------

(page189)

Iwaki: If it gets to a 3-point difference, it's fine to make a substitution in the first half. [K: i have no idea if he's talking about himself or the rules of football. The CHN version picks football. But I don't have that vibe... not to mention the fact that i'm not aware of any such substitution rule.]

\

Kakeru: Th... three-point difference?
Iwaki: Yes.

\

sfx: waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [K: continue down all over the page...]

\

Bubble: Goal!
small text: 2 goals in the first 10 minutes!!

Bubble: Araki's mid-range shoooooot!!

\

------

(page190)

Iwaki: One more goal.

Iwaki: If you don't hurry and warm up, you won't make it.

\

\

Three: Yes!

------

(4-koma) <- my personal favourite :D i'm glad i'm doing it.

Uniforms (title)

1. Iwaki: What should we do about the new team's uniforms?
Kondou: We should just use the design of your FC shirts.
small text: Teenagers like that seem to be more easily accepted.

2. Iwaki: Okay, well, I'll place orders for more FC shirts then.
Kondou: But it should be "SHI"!
Iwaki: Eh?

3. Kondou: That says "ENOSIMA"! Enosima!
Kondou: It's not "SI", but "SHI"!

4. Kondou: Ever since you established the FC 10 years ago, you've always been "Enosima FC". "Enosima FC"!
arrow: smug
Iwaki: If you knew, why didn't you tell me...

1- The ball… It disappeared!
2- Huh?
3- What did you do earlier?
4- Didn’t you try to determine the ball’s position before you faked?
5- That was why I was following you and then the ball vanished…
6- But… that was just a fluke…
7- Actually I lost my control over the ball earlier. But at that moment…
8- !
9- What is it?
10- Did you know what you have done to dribble past me?
11- Huh?

Page 64
1- You have just done the ‘Disappearing ball’…
2- It is a complacent technique discovered by a certain genius player.
3- A ‘Phantom’ fake.
4- Phantom … Phantom fake?
5- Can you still remember how you did it?
6- Ehr… maybe a little.
7- Let’s practice more of it before you forget on how you did it.
8- Okay… I will try.
9- If it is just a fluke earlier, he wouldn’t have been able to execute it beautifully.
10- That technique is not easy to begin with.

Page 65
1- Hmm, I remember it is like this. // Wah, I can’t do it. It has to be a fluke earlier.
2- Keep your concentration focus on the ball!
3- Huh? But I would have to look at the ball in order to concentrate. // How am I able to do it?
4- It isn’t really total concentration if you keep relying on your sight. Buck up and try and remember what you did just now.
5- Maybe Kakeru haven’t noticed it…
6- That technique could have been a ‘miracle’ born from Kakeru’s outstanding level of concentration…
7- If that is the case, his ball control weakness…
8- Could perhaps be overcome through using this technique.
9- Concentrate…
10- Sfx: Da-Bump
11- …!

Page 66
1- I… I succeeded!
2- …
3- Seven?
4- Hah, I’m sorry. Let’s practice a few more times. // We have to start practicing from today till the day when we can put it in use in the real battle.
5- Heh.
6- …
7- What was it exactly?
8- To be able to use the ‘Phantom’ fake with total concentration.
9- Is it Kakeru’s talent awakening?
10- Or is it…

1- Oda, Sawamura, Kaiouji!

3- Coach Kondou.
4- We can’t really…
5- accept Coach Iwaki.
6- Look at Araki! He doesn’t pay attention to his physical conditioning and become fat due to overeating.
7- If the trusted playmaker is like that, it would eventually affect the team as a whole. Coach Iwaki is too naive!
8- Wait a moment! Iwaki has his ideas on how to deal with Araki.
9- I have asked him on this and heard his ideas. I thought it might be worth to give it a try.

Page 74
1- It is not just that. He secretly snuck into the field at night…
2- That is also one of the ways he expressed himself. I was quite surprised when I learn of this.
3- Why are you speaking up for Iwaki?
4- About this, I want to let you see something!
5- Can you guys come out for a moment later?
6- I will contact you guys later then.
7- …
8- To call us out this late, // I wonder what is Coach Kondou going to show to us?// Don’t tell me he wants us to practice again?
9- No matter what is it, I’ve already made up my mind. I’m not participating in this team any longer. // Besides if I withdraw from the team, I could still join other clubs.

7- I happened to chanced upon this before and asked him the same question like you do. // In the end…
8- Hah… I didn’t expect you to find out. Hahaha…

Page 77
1- Frankly speaking, I have been doing it since FC’s beginning. I have rented the field// under the condition of not using the field’s lightning as a cheaper alternative.
2- What?
3- That’s because I want to let them experience the feeling of playing on the pitch.
4- But just relying on my salary is not sufficient.
5- …
6- Hah… Please don’t leak this to the rest of the team. To them, we are just using it freely.
7- Why do you want to do it like this?
8- I don’t want them to worry for me unnecessarily.
9- If they are to help me, I would have a bigger headache. Hahaha…

Page 78
1- Speaking of which, I wouldn’t do this myself.
2- That is why I want to believe in everything he does.
3- What do you guys think?
4- …
5- I know his method is still lacking compared to mine.
6- But the truth is…
7- The present team is better at adapting in tougher physical training than SC.
8- …
9- The techniques also have improved.
10- And the one responsible for this is Coach Iwaki’s passion…
11- and his belief on fun football.

Page 79
1- About his methods,
2- Won’t you want to give it a try?
3- At least he isn’t the irresponsible type, //isn’t a person whose simple idea that would lead the entire team to degeneration.
4- This is what I believe in.
5- Let’s take a rest okay.
6- All right.

Mako: ...
You're taking it a bit too seriously, Aizawa.

Kakeru: Eh?

Mako: We're a school club, not the yakuza. You can just leave if you want to. [T/N: yakuza = Japanese mafia]

\

Kakeru: ...that may be true, but as a fellow lover of football,

Kakeru: I want to come to a proper agreement with everyone before I quit.

\

Nana: Kakeru...

\

\

------

(page030)

Mako: Your sense of honour and empathy is completely different from a certain someone who just left like that.

Araki: Shut up.

\

Mako: Can't help it.
If you're so serious about it, it's no point trying to keep you here...

sfx: step

Iwaki: It's not right to give up so soon, Mako-kun.

\

\

\

Mako: Iwaki-chan.

\

Iwaki: Kakeru-kun. I could really feel your love of football from what you said just now.
But that's really why you should stay and play here.

------

(page031)

Kakeru: B... but, if I'm not part of the officially-recognised club, I wouldn't be able to participate in official matches.
In the summer Inter-High or even in the preliminaries before that...

Iwaki: Oh, so it's because our team can't participate in official matches,
so you want to join the officially-recognised Eno High SC... I see...

Iwaki: Can I ask you, Kakeru-kun...

\

Iwaki: What are your goals after you join the football club?

Kakeru: T... to win the nationals and the preliminaries before that, and to emerge onto the national stage, of course.

\

Iwaki: I see...

\

Iwaki: Because you feel restricted by your small goals,
you feel pressured to play boring football. I think you feel that!

sfx: grin

Iwaki: I think that you feel like you have to endure playing football in the SC.
------

(page032)

Kakeru: The nationals...
Kakeru: and the preliminaries are small goals?

Iwaki: Yes.

\

Iwaki: In such a tiny country...
that would just be like an extension of school club activities. I feel that young people like you should aim to...

Iwaki: represent Japan, and play at a world level.

\

Iwaki: Above all, the leaders have too much of an isolationist island mentality and only let children play boring football.

Iwaki: The ones who stand out in the younger generations,

\

Iwaki: chosen for the U-15, U-17 and even the U-21 teams, are eventually cast aside out of the world level. [K: OK dodgy phrasing here could deff use rephrasing]

------

(page033)

Iwaki: In other countries where football is popular, the aim of young people like you, who love football,

Iwaki: is to join the national team and win the World Cup.

\

\

------

(page034)

Iwaki: We at the Eno High FC
Iwaki: are aiming for football on such a scale.

\

\

sfx: ba-bump
ba-bump

\

sfx: ba-bump

------

(page035)

Iwaki: Well... that said, there is still significance in aiming for the nationals and preliminaries as the current nearest targets.

Iwaki: Therefore, if there is a chance, I would like for us to debut this year as the representatives of Eno High.
To achieve that, we need the energy of new members like yourself, who are full of enthusiasm.

\

sfx: ba-bump

Kakeru: Huh? "If there is a chance"...?

sfx: ba-bump

\

Nana: What do you mean, Iwaki-sensei?
If you're not an official club then joining official tournaments is...

\

Iwaki: Of course we wouldn't be able to join. Not to mention the fact that having 2 teams from the same school participate is clearly impossible.

Iwaki: However, there has been a tradition passed on in Enoshima High School since around 10 years ago.

Kakeru: A tradition?

\

Iwaki: As you already know, this school has 2 football clubs, Eno High SC and Eno High FC.

Iwaki: It has become that before any large tournaments, the two teams compete for the right to represent the school.

\

Nana, Kakeru: The right to represent the school?

------

(page036)

Iwaki: Exactly. So, the team that wins the game
Iwaki: is recognised as the official team, and goes on to participate in tournaments.

N,K: What!?

Iwaki: Yeah? Our club isn't sounding like something abandoned anymore, right?

\

\

Iwaki: How about it? Will you become a temporary member for 1 week,
and practise with everybody in our Eno High FC?

Iwaki: If, after this, you still think "I'd still rather join the official club",
I will recommend you and obtain permission for you to join.

\

sfx: ba-bump
ba-bump
ba-bump

\

sfx: pop up

Boy: Um...
Is this the clubroom for the Eno High FC?

------

(page037)

Boy: Hi. [K: CUUUUUUTE]

\

Nana: Ah! The guy who failed the club entrance test because he used a heel pass...

\

Iwaki: Yeah, it is. Do you want to join?

Boy: Yes. I failed the entrance test for Eno High SC...
but I want to play football no matter what, so...

\

\

Iwaki: Of course you're very welcome. Mako-kun, go get the documents for him.
Mako: Sure, come in. What's your name?

Kaoru: Motoba Kaoru.

\

Nana: Let's try it, Kakeru.

------

(page038)

Kakeru: Seven...

Nana: Isn't it kind of interesting? And like Iwaki-sensei said,
the way they do things in the officially-recognised SC doesn't sound that interesting.

Kakeru: Y... yeah.

\

Kakeru: My heartbeat's settled. Do you think that too, Nii-chan...?

\

Kakeru: All right. I'll join your practices... no,
Please let me officially join the club!

\

\

Mako: All riiiiiiiight!!

sfx: slap

FC guys: Now we've got 11 people!!

------

(page039)

Kakeru: ...What?

Nana: You didn't have enough?

Iwaki: Weeeell, that was so.
Two third-years quit the club to study for exams, so we were left with 9 people.

\

Iwaki: But now with two new players we have exactly 11!!
sfx: clench
Iwaki: We can play games now!

\

Iwaki: And we even got a cute manager as a bonus.
Maybe new members will just keep coming because of her, ha ha ha!

Kakeru: S... somehow, my enthusiasm is kind of high, yet kind of low...
small text: I wonder if this was a good idea...

\

Araki: Well... don't expect too much.
Kakeru: Araki-sempai...

------

(page040)

Araki: For your information, the real strength of the SC is pretty substantial.

Araki: Ever since that old guy called Kondou became the coach,
he gathered up talented players in this prefecture and got them into the school on scholarship.

\

Araki: And that coach's methods
are perfectly acceptable for winning tournaments where 1 loss means that it's all over.

\

Araki: That's why strong football schools now
train their players with more or less similar methods.

Araki: It's not only here where you get told off for executing a heel pass.

\

Nana: What was that...

\

sfx: dash
Nana: Kakeru!

Araki: And what about it?

\

sfx: WHAM

\

Kakeru: Aah!!

sfx: whump

\

Kakeru: Uh, uh...
sfx: kick

------

(page44)

Kakeru: Yeah.
Kakeru: Huh.
sfx: roll roll

\

\

Kakeru: Won't you try it again?
Araki: Huh?

\

Kakeru: Whether it's the amazing control with the ball kicked towards the window that hit the much smaller head of the Ninomiya Kinjirou statue before returning cleanly to Mako-san,
or that nonchalant lifting of the ball, it's clear that you're really an amazing person, sempai.

Kakeru: I want to receive your passes, sempai, so...

\

Araki: Did you hear something from your dead brother?
Kakeru: What?

\

Araki: You're Suguru's brother, aren't you.
Kakeru: ...you realised?

------

(page45)

Araki: I've heard a lot about you from Suguru.
Kakeru: You were in Nii-chan's diary.

\

Kakeru: He said that Araki-san was better at passing than him.
Araki: You're got to be kidding me.

\

Araki: There's no way. He probably looked down on me.
The apathetic, selfish naked emperor.

Kakeru: No... no way...

\

Araki: I think that the number 1 reason I quit football...
Araki: was your brother.

\

Araki: Well... from what I've seen, Suguru's assessment of you
is just the biased opinions of family.

sfx: nudge

Araki: Give up, brother of a genius.
Your level isn't enough for high school football, let alone the world.

------

(page046)

Araki: You're the same as me.

\

Kakeru: Do you even know my level!?
Kakeru: We haven't even played together!!

\

Kakeru: Damn...

This volume marks the start of the high school arc, and this makes me think of my own high school entrance interview.
At that time, I answered, "My specialty is drawing," and I was then asked who my favorite artist was! I didn't know any artists then! I only knew manga artists!!
At that moment, the picture of the sunflowers floated into my mind. All right, I'd say the person who painted that! So I answered "Bach"... Bach? Was he called Bach?
Then the interviewer said, "You mean van Gogh?"
Yes, him!!

Coach: I said to do an push kick.

Coach: People who don't listen to instructions and perform passes with low accuracy like the heel pass, and who treat it all like it's a game,
would just disrupt club rules and have no use in matches. I won't accept those.

Guy: In this football club, not only are heel passes not allowed, but players aren't allowed to dribble for over 5 seconds unless the enemy camp is empty. [k; lol enemy camp... better word?]

I wouldn't join that shitty football club even if you begged me to.

Hey, new students over there.

Iwaki: They just joined.

Iwaki: Well, actually, Enoshima High has two football teams.

Iwaki: That's the club that the school officially recognises, the Eno High SC.
And we're the self-named Eno High FC, sort of like a hobby group.

Kakeru: Ah, Sakaki!
Kakeru: The high school's started practising already, right?

Sakaki: Of course.
Saeki-sempai's pretty much going to be a starter soon and play in a few mini-games.

Kakeru: Wow... that's Yuusuke for you! What about Kouta?

\

Sakaki: Eh? Didn't you hear?
Kouta-sempai's grades weren't good enough to get him into the high school section in the end, or something like that.

Kakeru/Nana: Whaaaaaaaat!?

\

Kakeru: But in the graduation ceremony he didn't say anything...

Sakaki: Maybe because it was too embarrassing, so he didn't want to?

Nana: No wonder he was crying so hard that day...

\

Kakeru: ...don't... don't tell me he got retained?

Sakaki: Nah, I heard that he studied the core subjects really hard,
and after some second exam after the graduation ceremony he miraculously got picked up by another school...

Kakeru: I... I see. That's good... I'll call him tonight.

\

Kakeru: Work hard, Sakaki.
Nana: See you, Sakaki-kun. Work hard!

there is a 2nd year midfielder known as Araki-san.

Kakeru: Yeah, he makes really good passes...

I've been in his group for a year already, and he's like a machine gun who doesn't give people their own personal space. Ha ha ha.

Coach: Their defence is amongst Kanagawa's best. [K: Ugh I didn't phrase it that well, literal translation is that the defence is always fighting for the top place in Kanagawa.]

\

Coach: Besides, because you incurred psychological trauma because you injured a teammate,
Coach: which has made you unable to use your left foot. And you say you can score goals?

\

Coach: What do you think an indecisive forward with a weak heart can do?

Nana: Like I thought, he hasn't seen Kakeru's effort at all...

\

Kunimatsu: Kakeru... Don't give up, let him see your determination!

(page054)

Coach: Kakeru... I heard from your doctor
that you're taking the entrance exam for another high school, outside. [K: As in, not Kamakura.]

Kunimatsu: What?!

Coach: If you want to continue playing football in high school, you need to put your confidence over your technique.

\

Coach: Even if you do well in training, playing in a real match is different. You're not shooting at the corner at the goalpost, but also in front of the keeper.
That type of forward can't be used in real games by any team.

Coach: He just did a back pass from the left, but he's now on the other side...

\

Nana: Kakeru started to run the moment he passed to Saeki-kun.

Coach: What?

\

Nana: Kakeru saw that the other team's defenders were all on the left.
Nana: So he ran straight for the empty zone in the other side, in order to grasp the decisive chance.

\

sfx: bump
OMG AMazing Bubble: He instinctively 'felt' the pass bfrom Saeki-kun coming!

\

Goalie: It'll be all right! He can't kick with his left leg.

But, if there was...

Tsukiyama
I like my veggies. I always eat pretty much nothing but veggies. I was definitely a rabbit ('usagi') in my former life! One who feared loneliness too. But I also like to eat fish. So I could have been a cat ('neko') too... So that means... that's it! Combine 'neko' and 'usagi' tgoether and you get 'negi', onions......
Ah, so I was a veggie in my former life.

Tsukiyama Kaya

[K: Repeat after me... WTF?!?!?! AHAHAHA]

Igano
By the time of this volume's publication, the squad members of the national team will probably already have been confirmed. What stood out the most last year was undeniably Yasu High School's unique and fantasy-like success.
Well then, will there also the birth of a new star this year?
I have always been hoping for a "knight in the area" to emerge from these players' ranks and make Japan proud.

Aizawa Suguru
Was expected by all to shouldder the future of Japanese football, but lost his life in an accident. The heavily-injured Kakeru inherited his heart and his beliefs shortly after.

Aizawa Kakeru
Suguru's younger brother. Due to an accident, he realised his older brother's true intentions, and decided to start over again as a player. Despite trying hard to conquer his difficulty with his left side, and his astonishingly quick growth, he has so far been unable to become a starter for the team.

Mishima Nana
A childhood friend of Kakeru, nicknamed Seven. Although she is the manager of the football team, she has excellent football instincts, and is Kakeru's practice partner outside of club.

Sister . Mito
Father
Mother (alternatively Dad/Mum if no space.. XD)

(page005)

Nishijima Shigeo
sfx: hmph
Forward position. Constantly at loggerheads with Kouta because of his cynicism and sarcasm.

Saeki Yuusuke
Midfielder position.
Has taken on the role of Captain and one of the few who acknowledge Kakeru's ability.

Kunimatsu Hiromi
The ex-Vice Captain who has entered Kamakura High. Takes notice of middle school training sessions.

Nakatsuka Kouta
Defender position. He is easily satisfied. His nickname is Mr. Sexual Harassment.

Coach
Coaches both the middle and high school teams.
He has ability, but also a stubborn side.

Mine Ayaka
A clinical psychologist. Was responsible for Kakeru's counselling after the accident. Counselled Suguru in the past.

Summary

Kakeru, who was the sole survivor in the traffic accident with his brother Suguru, the ace of Japan's U-15 football team, decides to give football up. However, his clinical psychotherapist Mine Ayaka encourages him to take it up again, to regain his fitness. When Kakeru goes to the park at night to practise, just like before, Grey Mask appears in front of him - and its real identity is Seven! Nana was actually asked by Suguru to become Kakeru's practice partner. Moreover, Kakeru finds out that what saved him in the accident was a heart transplant from his brother. Shocked, Kakeru finds a diary in his brother's room. Inside are his brother's true feelings - the dream to win a World Cup together with his brother, and more, are written inside. Kakeru then swears to continue playing football until the end of his life, that his brother gave him.

------

(page011)

Nana: Our opponent today, Shounan University-Affilated High School, is a great contender.
I think that the current starters of Kamakura won't be able to defeat them.

\

Nana: The absence of Kunimatsu-san leaves a huge hole in the defence, and the midfield is missing Suguru-san too.

Nana: Saeki-kun's growth has been amazing, but the best position for him should be as a defensive midfielder.

\

Nana: And the weakest part of the team is the fowards.

Nana: Nishijima-kun and the second-year Sakaki-kun may be acknowledged as the top in Kanagawa, but they won't be able to break through Shounan's defence.

Nana: Have some Gatarade- [K: Make sure it's spelt right... :P as in, GatArade]

sfx: punch

Kouta: Omph- C... cross-countered...

(page172)

Kouta: Nana-cha~n!

\

Kouta: Feed me Gatarade through your mou...

sfx: gurgle

Nana: You worked hard-

Kakeru: Ye... yeah.

\

sfx right of bottle: glug glug glug

sfx left: twitch twitch

Kakeru: Kouta... the first-years are all staring.

\

Yuusuke: Okay,
today's practice is over. Once you've cleaned up you can leave!

Everyone: Yes!

Yuusuke: Tomorrow will just be a meeting to announce the team members, so rest up to prepare for the match the day after that!

\

Coach: Saeki.
Here's the day after tomorrow's starting lineup, and I've also changed the substitutes around a little.

Yuusuke: Yes, Coach Kumagai.

\

Yuusuke: That second-year Yanagi was added to the bench... Kakeru's name isn't there, huh...

sfx: flip

------

(page173)

Kunimatsu: Coach Kumagai, it's time for our recap meeting.

Kumagai: Mhmm.
Kumagai: Well, I'll be returning to the High School then.

Yuusuke: All right. Thank you very much.

\

\

sfx: nod

\

Yuusuke: Please, Kunimatsu-san...

\

\

Kumagai: ......
So, essentially, you're telling me to use Kakeru, Kunimatsu.

Kunimatsu: Yes.
I know that I am in no position to ask that of you, Coach.

\

Kunimatsu: But as their senior, who has seen them practice... [K: No idea what OB means... so I took the Chinese translation.. XD]

Kunimatsu: I would like to acknowledge Kakeru's effort since he ascended to his third year.

------

(page174)

Kunimatsu: The guy has changed.
Kakeru: Oof!

\

Kunimatsu: He's really working hard.

\

Kumagai: Kunimatsu.
When Suguru was here, I may have left that genius to manage most of the day-to-day affairs of the Middle School club,

but that doesn't mean that I didn't notice anything.

\

Kumagai: Kakeru can't be used in a real game.

Kunimatsu: B...
But...

------

(page175)

Kumagai: It's true that he does have the technique and the speed. But he's the type that can't do anything once in front of the goal.

Kunimatsu: Since he recovered from his injuries, he's scored deciding goals in the practice matches every time.

It's like he was another person before the accident. He's become more hardworking, and he can use his left leg with some skill now...

\

Kumagai: But if he is in an important match,

Kumagai: his shot will go wide again.

\

Kumagai: There is no need to treat him differently because he is Suguru's brother.

\

Nana: That Rock-Headed Coach~

\

Kakeru: Hey, Seven! Pass the ball over!

sfx ball: roll roll

Kakeru: You're so terrible, Seve~n [K: if there is a way to make it the long ~. If not just use exclamation mark xD]
sfx: smart smart

Nana: Sorry. I'm really sorry, Kakeru.

No Ears: Is Kakeru-senpai really the Aizawa Suguru-san's brother?! [K: italicise the?]
sfx: snicker snicker

Fatter Bald: That's impossible, I mean look at him!
[small text] He's so soft?

------

(page177)

Yuusuke: Hey, first-year, what's so funny?

No Ears: Ah!
Captain.

Fatter Bald: So... sorry.

\

Yuusuke: If you have time to joke around, why don't you follow Kakeru's example? He's staying back after club to practice.

Yuusuke: Can you do it?

\

No Ears: Is that really practice?
It's just playing on the walls of the tennis club courts, isn't it?

Fatter Bald: Hey (next to his head not counting the... sweat thing.. XD)

\

Yuusuke: Go take a good look at the marks left on that wall, then.

\

No Ears: ...seriously.
No Ears: What's so special about this wall?

------

(page178)

NE/FB: H... hey. The marks are all concentrated in the same spot.

\

NE/FB: You... you're right!
There and there and... wait a second, this is...

NE/FB: Isn't it like the four corners of the goal?

------

(page179)

\

NE/FB: Does he run along here when he practices shooting?

NE/FB: It's around the distance between the edge of the penalty area and the goal.

NE/FB: Around 20 metres.

\

NE/FB: Awesome...

\

etc: That... that guy,
etc: Why doesn't he have a numbered uniform?

Kakeru: Today's horoscope said it was a good day!

\

Kakeru: Well,
Kakeru: I'm going now, Nii-chan.

\

(page181)

\

Kakeru: Heey, Seven!

\

Seven: Ah! Kakeru .~ [K: That is, if you can find a music note.. XD If not, just put a '~' or something.]

\
Kakeru: Umm... you know, you should probably stop with the grey mask?

Nana: I wear it because it seems like you won't be serious if I don't!

\

Kakeru: Even so!
[small text] It's just too weird!

Nana: Come on, let's just kick off.

sfx: tap

\

sfx: thump

Kakeru: O-kay!
small text: Oops!

------

(page182) [K: thank you cleaners <3]

Nana: Hey, Kakeru, why is it always this park?

Kakeru: Hehe, that's because the field is wide enough. [K: Well, actually he says 'fufu' which is like an evil laugh XD But yeah.. <<]

\

Nana: Wide?

Kakeru: Yup. Can't you feel it, Seven?

\

Kakeru: This field's open space is about the same as the penalty area. [K: Must check.. because that would be kind of sad..]

Nana: Ah... I see...

\

Kakeru: Because the penalty area

------

(page183)

Kakeru: is where a striker does his work, you know.

\

Kakeru: Pwaaaah~

\

Nana: We may be working hard, but take care of your body, Kakeru.
In the morning you're always practising in club, and at night you're running around here...

Nana: huh
huh

Kakeru: huh
huh

Kakeru: It doesn't tire me out at all. It didn't even before the accident.

\

Kakeru: It's definitely
Kakeru: Nii-chan's gift...

\

Kakeru: Bbbut Seven, your technique is really awesome!

------

(page184)

Kakeru: You're good enough to be a starter for our football team!
How did you become so good, tell me!

Nana: I'll tell you later...

\

sfx: whup

\

sfx: sway

\

sfx: thump

\

\

Kakeru: ...awesome.

------

(page185)

Nana: Hey, Kakeru.

Kakeru: Hmm?

Nana: You're going to switch schools when we graduate to high school, right? [K: From this, we can determine that Kamakura is an escalator school, that is, once you enter the middle (or primary?!) school, you get passage all the way up to the end of high school or maybe even university. LOL don't include this!! I just felt like pointing it out! :P]

\

Kakeru: ...yeah.

Nana: I see...

\

Kakeru: It's because I'm Aizawa Suguru's brother.
Kakeru: I want to play football where nobody knows who I am.

\

Nana: They'll find out eventually.

Kakeru: It's still better that directly going up to Kamakura High.

\

Nana: ...I guess so.

sfx: tap

Kakeru: Yeah, right?

------

(page186-187)

Nana: That lump of a rock-headed coach is so narrow-minded.
Nana: Can he enjoy football that way?

sfx: wham

\

sfx: bang

\

Nana: Hey, Kakeru.
Kakeru: Hmm?

\

Nana: I also
Nana: want to go to the same high school that you are going to.

\

Kakeru: Eh?
sfx: ba-bump

\

Nana: Is that okay?

\

Kakeru: ......
yeah.

#10 Our Dream

\

sfx:

\

Nana: ...so,
where should I start?...

------

(page148)

Kakeru: Well then let me tell you where, okay?! [K: does he sound too pissed? He does say that in the JP version]
Seven, why are your football skills so amazing?!
How did you know that I've always been weak on my left side?!
Why did you show up at the park so late at night and hide behind a mask?!
Why did you challenge me so many times?!
And what's with the alien anyway?!

Nana: Eh... H-ey, wait up. I can't keep up with you asking me all at once..

sfx: [K: This is actually the sfx for 'roar' but i would interpret it as OMG KAKERU IS TALKING TOO MUCH WHOOOOOOOOSH
So uh... 'overwhelming'? Something like that? ]

\

Kakeru: So... okay, tell me... why did you hide under a mask, and challenge me?

\

Nana: Suguru-san asked me to.

\

Kakeru: Eh?!
Kakeru: Nii... Nii-chan did?

Nana: Yes.

\

Nana: Suguru-san went to Mexico as part of the U-15 team, right?
Nana: At that time, I was still attending a Japanese school in Los Angeles... Los Angeles is pretty close to Mexico- [K: Is it really?]

Nana: and I was in the area, and just by coincidence I saw his match. [K: Um... >_>.... Well... ignoring minor plot point.. XD]

------

(page149)

Nana: Suguru-san!

\

Suguru: ......
Are you Seven?

\

Suguru: ...I see, so you're coming back to Japan?
Nana: Yup, so I'll probably be transferring to the school you and Kakeru go to.
[small text] Anyway, I wonder if I can become a manager...

\

Nana: Hey, Suguru-san, what about Kakeru? Is he working hard?
He could be picked for the youth national team next yea...

Suguru: He's our manager.

Nana: Huh?

\

Suguru: I don't know what he's thinking, but it's probably because he wasn't picked to be a starter in his first year.

Suguru: At this rate he might actually really quit football.

\

Nana: It's probably pressure.
It's hard for Kakeru too, having such a talented older brother like you.

------

(page150)

Suguru: Say, Seven. If you really transfer into our school...
Suguru: I have a favour to ask of you.

\

Nana: ...it seems that Suguru-san knew you secretly came to this park at night to practice alone.

\

Nana: But there's a limit to individual practice, isn't there?

Nana: So, with me as your practice partner,
you would be able to return to play for the team any time.

\

Nana: I hid under a mask, because I thought that if you knew it was me you would be angry.

\

Kakeru: Nii-chan, he...

------

(page151)

1. Suguru: When did you become so chicken?
2. Suguru: What do you know!?
3. Suguru: What Kakeru fatally lacks, isn't skill, or stamina.
Suguru: It's his confidence. It's the same with the root of his weakness with his left leg.[K: OH MY GOD THEY KEEP REPEATING THIS PANEL]

\

\

Nana: Kakeru...
Nana: I had something to say to you,
if you actually did come here to play football today. [K: I flipped the order for coherence.]

\

Kakeru: Wh.. what is it?

\

Nana: ......
Nana: The reason you were saved,

------

(page152)

Nana: was because you received a heart transplant.

\

Nana: ...and the donor of that heart was

\

Nana: Suguru-san. [K: Do we make it extra big or use the same size? As in, our typesetting style.. XD Because it looks so cool huge. And emotionally affecting.]

\

Kakeru: ...what...

\

Nana: ...That's why, Kakeru, you musn't forget...
sfx: place [K: I officially fail at sfxs.. XD]

------

(page153)

Nana: What's in here isn't just Suguru-san's heart...
Nana: ...but also his dreams, that he can never fulfil.
So, Kakeru,

PA: Was it Mine-sensei?

\

\

PA: Sorry for not telling you.
PA: Mine-sensei said to wait until after you settled down

Kakeru: Nii-chan's...?

diary: November 23
I saw a video of the Brazil match.
Japan was satisfied by the draw, and I believe that that type of team will never come back from the World Cup with anything. [K: cut it off and stuff.. XD]

\

sfx: gulp

\

sfx: place [K: this artist is in love with this sfx..]

------

(page160)

Suguru: I saw a video of the Brazil match.
Japan was satisfied by the draw, and I believe that that type of team will never come back from the World Cup with anything.

Suguru: I want to have someone who can get things done accurately in the penalty area.

\

Suguru: A knight in the area.
Without him, the national team and the U-15 team would...

\

Suguru: And about the coach taking on the high schoolers part-time as well... How can I put it?
Ever since I became captain, it was always Kunimatsu and I
who did the practice menus
and selected the starters.

Suguru: We learnt many things,
but to really triumph in the national championships,
we need a professional coach for the middle school team.

\

sfx: flip
Kakeru: As I thought, Nii-chan thought only about football every day...

\

Suguru: I dreamt that I opened the club toilet door, and saw Kunimatsu inside, as well as something horrible...

Kakeru: ...No way...

\

Suguru: This morning, I had that dream again.

------

(page161)

Suguru: It was during a match, and I noticed that there was nobody around me.
Suguru: I was completely alone...

\

Suguru: I called and shouted,
but there was no reply.
It was like being in the middle of mist.

Suguru: When I woke up, I was sweating, and I was scared to sleep again-

\

Ayaka: ...you know, he had a lot of nightmares, before the accident.
It's possible that he had a premonition of dying in the accident.

sfx: flip

\

Date: November 26
Kakeru: The morning of that day...

------

(page162)

Suguru: It's been a long time
since I had such a good dream.
I feel great.

\

Kakeru: He mentioned that at that time...

\

Suguru: I was playing in the World Cup finals.
Suguru: And Kakeru was with me.

\

Suguru: The score was 0-0, during injury time. I sent my last pass to Kakeru in the penalty area, and he converted it to a goal.

Suguru: That was the deciding goal, and Kakeru and I raised the World Cup up high.

------

(page163)

Suguru: This has always been in my mind.
Suguru: My dream.

\

Suguru: My, and Kakeru's
Suguru: dream...
[K: Is that awkward? Alternatively 'Kakeru and I, our dream...']

Diary: This has always been in my mind.
My dream.

Suguru: It's my last pass to you.

\

Kakeru: This is...
Kakeru: Nii-chan's last pass.

\

Kakeru: I can't keep running away.
Kakeru: I can't do that.

\

Kakeru: I'll continue to play football,
Kakeru: Nii-chan.

#8 Aizawa Suguru's Soul

[K: yey overdrive cameo -shot-]

Kakeru: GO... [K: I have no idea what he's saying... D: So that is my random make up.]

\

Kakeru: FRANCE!

\

Nurse: Keep going, Ma'am!
Kakeru: OOOOOHHH
sfx: whirrrrr whirrrrr

Man: yawn
sfx: see-saw
see-saw [K: No idea what that machine is..]

(page104)

Ayaka: You've gotten a lot better, Kakeru-kun.
[small text] But what's with your outfit?

Kakeru: Yeah, Mine-san!! I'm fitter now than I was before the accident!

\

Kakeru: See?
sfx: whirrrrrrr
Ayaka: Hey, you're leaving the hospital tomorrow, so don't work too hard.

\

Kakeru: I'll be fine!
I just feel that I can't relax if I don't move.

Ayaka: Hehe!

\

Doctor: So, Mine-kun, how is Aizawa Kakeru-kun recovering?
sfx: plod [K: sound of walking? ^^;]
Ayaka: Oh, extremely well.

\

Ayaka: Through these three months of observation, I've noticed that his body has recovered completely, and his mental state has stabilised as well.

Ayaka: There seem to be no complications arising from the stress of the heart transplant...

------

(page105)

Ayaka: He seems to have accepted his brother's death.
Ayaka: That's the most important thing.

\

Doctor: When are you going to tell him?

\

Ayaka: The adaptability of his heart is actually quite astonishing.
Even with siblings, cases where no complications arise are rare.

Doctor: This means that we can decrease the dosage of his medication for the complications to the minimum.
However, the truth about his heart transplant can't be hidden from him forever...

\

Ayaka: Yes, he definitely needs to be informed about the transplant.
But there's also one more thing that he must be told.

Ayaka: His life was saved by him receiving his brother's heart.

------

(page106)

Ayaka: Aizawa Suguru was hailed as the treasure of Japanese football,
Ayaka: and Kakeru has inherited his soul.

\

Doctor: ...Mine-kun, I know that you had a good relationship with Suguru-kun.
But please don't forget that you are now counselling his brother, Kakeru-kun.

sfx Kakeru: slip
Kakeru: Aah!

Nurse: All right, you can do it, sir!

Kakeru: Geez, you guys almost got me hospitalised again!
Kouta: Ah, sorry, sorry, we were too excited I guess.

\

Kouta: So Kakeru, are you really quitting the football club?

\

Kakeru: ...yeah, I mean I have this serious injury,
and I have no talent anyway, so now would be the best time.

Kouta: Ah, aahh, I see. Man, way to leave a guy all alone!

Kunimatsu: Well, I'll keep this withdrawal notice with me for now.

\

Kakeru: Okay..
Kunimatsu: But, Kakeru, I don't want you to forget this one thing.

\

Yuusuke: Wait, Kakeru. I can't accept it.

\

Yuusuke: The brother of Aizawa Suguru, not playing football...
Yuusuke: That's just...

\

Yuusuke: I heard from Mishima-san that your fitness is back to normal. You're fit enough to withstand vigorous exercise, aren't you?

\

Yuusuke: Maybe now would be too early, but in summer, in the nationals... no,
Yuusuke: after that, like the Takamadonomiya or Nike Cups, you could make those...
Kakeru: Spare me, Yuusuke.

Kakeru: I... [K: Um, he uses 'ore' which is the tough guy's version of 'I'. Suguru uses this form. Normally Kakeru uses 'boku' which is the good boy's version. I dunno how to convey this.. Maybe you can italicise it or something to show his anger?]

\

sign: Counselling Room
Ayaka: ...the results of your psychological test are encouraging.

\

Ayaka: I was worried that the psychological trauma from the accident coupled with the stress from the operation would cause PTSD.
Ayaka: But there look to be no problems now.
*PTSD: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. [K: Um, the text actually says psychological stress after an external heart wound. But uh.. that isn't exactly right.. so yeah.]

Kakeru: Well, I'm kind of thick, so maybe that's why...

\

Ayaka: ......
Suguru-kun was a sensitive young man.

Kakeru: Eh?

\

Ayaka: He always felt overwhelmed by pressure. [K: Or was over-burdened, crushed, squashed by..]

Ayaka: That's why, when he was in this hospital for rehabilation for his injuries,
he approached me looking for counselling.

------

(page118)

Kakeru: No way... Nii-chan was always so calm even on the big stage.
Ayaka: That was just for sake of appearances.

\

Ayaka: He may have seemed mature, but he was only a 15-year old boy.
Ayaka: Not to mention the fact that as the ace of the U-15 team, all the eyes in Japan were on him as he fought.

\

\

Kakeru: What could possibly worry the one and only Aizawa Suguru?

\

Suguru: What the hell do you know, when all you ever do is run away?!

\

------

(page119)

Ayaka: ...you know, he had a lot of nightmares, before the accident.
Kakeru: Eh?

\

Ayaka: It's possible that he had a premonition of dying in the accident.

\

Kakeru: W.. what, how...?
Ayaka: Some top-level athletes have a sixth sense, just like animals.

\

Ayaka: For example, have you heard of this F1 racer, hailed as a genius, called Ayrton Senna?
Kakeru: Yeah, his name... he was a past champion, and died in a race.

\

Ayaka: That morning, before setting foot into the circuit, he said for the first time-

\

Ayaka: "I don't want to get in the racecar."

Ayaka: Maybe Suguru-kun's nightmares also contained premonitions like that.

------

(page120)

Suguru: Kakeru... receive my pass.
Suguru: It's my last pass to you.

\

Ayaka: Kakeru-kun?

\

Kakeru: Wh... what?
Ayaka: What were your dreams like after the accident?
Kakeru: Eh... what they were like?

\

Ayaka: Just say anything that comes to mind.
Dreams that you'd never had before the accident...

Kakeru: No.. no difference!

\

sfx: plop
Ayaka: I see.

------

(page121)

Ayaka: Well, there's no need to come to the rehabilation centre any more. Just continue exercising.
Kakeru: Ah.. okay. What should I do?

\

Ayaka: For example...
Ayaka: you can play football.

\

Kakeru: N.. no, that's...
Ayaka: While aggressive contact might still be too dangerous, you were in the football club before, right? So you should know how to practise.
Just continue on from what you did before the accident.

\

Kakeru: ...all right.

\

sfx: bow
Kakeru: Thank you very much.
Ayaka: No problem.

\

\

Ayaka: Was the way I said it all right for you?

Doctor: We barely managed to connect him to a ventilator in time, because his heart has suffered serious damage.
It is too late now to save him with conventional treatment methods.

Suguru: The king of the pitch, huh...

\

Suguru: But Kakeru...

\

Suguru: It's impossible to win the battle
Leonardo: Japan needs a forward who can make the right decisions in the penalty area...
Suguru: if the king fights alone.

\

Kakeru: Suguru...

------

(page48-49)

Suguru: If the playmaker is the king of the pitch,
Suguru: then the striker is the "knight".

\

Suguru: I... no, Japanese football,
Suguru: needs someone who can receive a pass in the penalty area, and wrench open the mouth of the goal.

\

Suguru: We need a courageous "knight".

Suguru: A knight in the area.

Kakeru: A knight in the area...
Kakeru: You're really awesome, Suguru.

\

Kakeru: There's only one year between us,
Kakeru: but I'm sure that in your mind, there's an image of you standing in the pitch of a World Cup stadium.

\

Kakeru: A knight in the area, huh... he definitely exists, somewhere in Japan.
A forward who can receive those magical passes of yours, and convert them to goals.

As I thought, it's best to eat watermelons in the porch!
But Tsukiyama lives in an apartment house, so he has to eat watermelons indoors. Not to mention the fact that cleaning up is a hassle, so he eats them over the sink.

It would be great if apartment houses could have porches too!

It was a clear morning-

That happened. [K: emphasise 'that'!]

Summary
Aizawa Suguru is the number 10 in Japan's U-15 team and the captain of the middle school football club in Kamakura Secondary School. Having a brother that has been hailed as a genius, Suguru's younger brother Kakeru has been weak on his left side ever since injuring someone. Because of this, he gained the nickname "Mister No Goal", and has chosen the path of manager. But suddenly, he was chosen to play in the practice game that would decide the starting players! Although he was initially excited at his role as the lone forward, or 'one top', and his responsibility at converting his brother's passes to goals, Kakeru cannot overcome his weakness and is eventually subbed out. However, the two brothers' childhood friend Nana realises that Kakeru, who extracted Suguru's strongest passes from him and managed to receive them, actually has the ability to be a forward.

She knows more about football than me! [K: emphasise me XD]

Kakeru: Ugh- what are you doing?
It's not like you know a lot about football, Kouta!

sfx: squish twist crack

\

Yuusuke: Hmph... indeed! It's a wonder you got into the football club in the first place!
Kouta: Wha!?
sfx Kouta: Hey! [K: Not accurate actually, I think it's a GAN which also means WHAT or WTF]
Kakeru: My neck, my neck...

Kakeru: Aaaaaah~~~~~ That was Yuusuke just now! Stop it, I surrender!

\

Kouta: Ah... Captain!
sfx guy's pants: twitch

sfx Kouta's hands: die~~~~

\

Suguru: Saeki, Nakatsuka, come over for a meeting.
sfx: Hmph. [K: This means he is not impressed!! Not pleased.]
Suguru: Manager, organise the data from that practice game and bring it over.
Yuusuke/Kouta: Ye.. yes!

sfx Kakeru: Oooh-

------

(page07)

Nana: Captain.

\

\

\

\

Suguru: ......
And that's why you're saying, "Let Kakeru play", right?

Nana: Yes... Suguru-san, you know what I'm talking about too, right?

------

(page08)

Nana: It's impossible for us to have a shot in the Nationals with just Ishikawa-san and Nishijima-kun in a two-top.
Even with you, Suguru-san, if we rely only on those two forwards...

Suguru: No, I cannot play Kakeru.

\

Nana: Why?
Nana: Didn't he catch your earnest pass and shoot it in the end?

\

Nana: When he was running for the pass, he got into the defender's blind spot and got past him with fakes.
He has all the basics that a scorer needs down perfectly.

Nana: Even when facing centerback Kunimatsu-san's harsh marking, he still wasn't discouraged.
His eyes kept saying, "Pass to me!"

\

\

Nana: And another thing that surprised me
Nana: was his stamina.

------

(page09)

Nana: Kakeru's been a manager through all of 8th grade, right?
Nana: But he never slowed down even after running for so long.

\

Nana: Because of this, Kunimatsu's leg cramped after marking him.
Nana: And that's why the sub Nishijima-kun was able to get a point, right?
sfx: thump

\

Kakeru: Damn it... "Organise the data from the practice game", I played too, so how can I do that...?
Kakeru: I'll just have to ask Seven.
[small text] I think she was taking notes...

\

Kakeru: Sev...

\

Kakeru: Su... Suguru...
sfx: slip

------

(page10)

Nana: Although Kakeru did shoot the ball you passed to him wide
Nana: No one other than Kakeru would have had any chance with that pass of yours, right?

\

Suguru: And that is why.
Nana: Eh?

\

\

Suguru: In the most crucial moment of the game the most important thing is to connect every action smoothly and not let the chance slip away.
Suguru: If a shot right in front of the goal misses, the other teammates will feel as if the team will never score no matter what they do.

\

Nana: You mean, morale will fall?
Suguru: Exactly.

------

(page11)

Suguru: For example, if it wasn't Kakeru who was receiving my pass, the chance of connecting the actions and scoring would be zero.

\

Suguru: No, probably even lower.
That's football for you. [K: emphasise even lower! And I don't get Suguru either... that is, if you don't get it XD]

\

\

Suguru: What Kakeru fatally lacks,
Suguru: isn't skill, or stamina.

\

sfx: jab

------

(page11)

Suguru: It's his confidence.
Suguru: It's the same with the root of his weakness with his left leg. [K: Purposely ambiguous because I don't understand the meaning.. <_<]

\

Nana: Suguru-san.

Nana: Kakeru!?

Nana: Wait... listen to me!

Kakeru: It's like what he says.

Kakeru: If that embarrassment hadn't happened... then, probably...

[small text] That's a fish bone...
Mito: Dumped by Nana-chan?
sfx Suguru: munch munch

Kakeru: ...just who was that...? His girlfriend...? But she seems too old for him...

Kakeru: but tonight, you have to help me practice, okay?

------

(page18)

Kakeru: ?.... [K: Or alien, whatever]
Kakeru: Oh, this? Don't worry about it.

\

Kakeru: I really wanted to play wearing this tonight.
Kakeru: I never got a number in eighth grade, so I always ran around wearing this.

\

Kakeru: For me, this numberless uniform..
Kakeru: It represents my middle high football career.

\

Kakeru: C'mon
Let's begin!
sfx: thump

Kakeru: Hehe!

\

Kakeru: That was half an hour... the halves in middle school football games are half an hour long.
Kakeru: I'm going to take this chance to rest, then play the full 30 minutes of the second half.

\

Kakeru: I seem like an idiot, huh? Just a manager, but still practising like this every day... I really don't know when to quit!

\

Alien: He uses up an equivalent of a full football game of energy every day when he practises?

\

Alien: So that's why he could receive such a strong pass.
Kakeru: Want a drink?
sfx: wipe

------

(page22)

Kakeru: I don't know who you are, but you seem to know about my weak left side.

\

Kakeru: But could you let me explain myself? In primary school, I was in a practice game with my team.
I used my left leg to shoot, and ended up causing a huge injury in a teammate. We were competing for a spot in the starting lineup.

\

Kakeru: Ever since then, every time I shoot with my left leg I get scared... well, I guess it's still just an excuse.

\

Kakeru: Okay! I'm a little early with this, but half time is over!
Kakeru: Let's start the second half.

\

Leonardo: I think that many strong European clubs will be making lots of offers to him in the near future.
Leonardo: When that time comes, I hope that he chooses a team that is different from mine.

------

(page26)

TV: No matter what team he joins, like me, he'll probably be the king of his team.
Mito: Hey, I can't see the TV, Sugu-nii~! [K: lol Suguru is such an asshole with the TV]
TV: But on the pitch, there can only be one king.

\

Presenter: I see. What about Japan, in the near future?

\

Leonardo: Japan's midfield has many talents like Suguru.
Leonardo: Unfortunately, though, they lack a good decision-making forward.

\

Leonardo: Japan needs a forward who can make the right decisions in the penalty area.
Leonardo: Someone who can courageously respond to his king's demands.

under high expectations, because he was Suguru-san's brother.

\

Kouta: But...
even though he had technique and speed..

Kouta: there was something off about him.

\

Kouta: He couldn't use his left leg at all...

Kouta: So, in matches, even if he got the ball, he'd have no chance of scoring.

\

Kouta: This put a lot of pressure on him, which made his shooting even worse..
That's why, in all those internal and inter-school friendlies, he didn't even get 1 cap.

Kouta: And he was nicknamed "Mr. No-Goal".

Kunimatsu: He didn't score, but he got a chance to three times, under my defence!

Kunimatsu: There won't be a fourth!

Kakeru: The next one will-
Suguru: Sub out, Kakeru.

\

Kakeru: What?
Kakeru: I... I still can...

\

Suguru: Just go back to the bench.
Suguru: You have to do the manager's work too!

\

Suguru: Sub!
Suguru: Nishijima, come in for Aizawa Kakeru!

\

Nishijima: Yes!

(pg15)

Nishijima: Bye bye!
sfx: ha ha

sfx Kouta: grr..

Suguru: And Nakatsuka Kouta!
Sub in for Shindou on the left flank!

Nishijima + Kouta: EH?

Kouta: I'm finally on!
See ya!

Nishijima: Che!
Nana: Good luck!

People: Suguru-senpai's so good!
The assist for the first goal and the long shot for the second were both great!

People: The shot was from 30m, right? He saw when the goalie was going to come out, and shot..

\

PersonA: The white team was doomed from the very start!
PersonB: Yeah... but I feel bad for Kakeru-san...

\

PersonA: It can't be helped! He's only a manager after all.

Nishijima: Here, Suguru-san.

\

Nishijima: C'mon, take it, take it.

\

Nishijima: The goal that I got was half yours.
Your passing is really great!

Nishijima: It's such a pity that Kakeru didn't take advantage of those passes.
Sorry... you're both brothers and all, but sometimes I feel a little sorry for Kakeru!

\

Nishijima: All the talent went to the older brother, so sometimes I feel for him.

------

(pg27)

Suguru: We're counting on you before Ishikawa recovers, Nishijima!

\

Nishijima: ...eh?

\

Nishijima: Wait! Does that mean that after Ishikawa's back, I'll...

\

Nishijima: Suguru-san!! Didn't I score a nice one today?!
Nishijima: The only forward in the team who can dodge Kunimatsu-san easily and score is me!
Kunimatsu: ...
heh...
sfx: crack krrik

\

Kunimatsu: Dodge me easily?
Nishijima: Ooooowwowouch...
sfx: grind grind

(pg28)

Nishijima: Ow! But Kunimatsu-san, that happened today didn't it? I beat you!
Kunimatsu: Ass! That was my mistake! [K: emphasise my?]

\

Kunimatsu: Kakeru beat me today.
Kunimatsu: I used up too much energy trying to keep up with his twists and turns.
I hate to admit it, but after that my knee got busted.

\

Nishijima: B.. but, Kakeru missed so many of Suguru-san's passes, and I got it on my first...
Kunimatsu: Weren't you paying attention from the bench?
Nishijima: Eh?

\

Kunimatsu: Just how many forwards that can receive a genuinely serious pass from Suguru...
do you think there are in Japan?
sfx: smack

------

(pg29)

Kunimatsu: He wouldn't have done that type of pass to even Ishikawa and Endou, and they're starters!
And you?

Guys: Thanks, senpai!
Suguru: No problem.

Kunimatsu: But...

\

Kunimatsu: those passes to Kakeru, and Kakeru alone
Kunimatsu: were all Suguru's very strongest.

Why did I become a manager? I don't want to admit to it, but I just don't think I have the talent to play.

Kakeru: OK!

Kakeru: Nice pass!

Kakeru: Just who was that masked guy? I really want to know...

And his skills are undeniable...

Kakeru: If I think about it from the people I know...

Suguru: Now we'll decide the school team members-
Suguru: with a game.

\

Suguru: Ishikawa's injury from yesterday hasn't healed yet...
Suguru: I want to change our formation a bit and test out some things, so I need to add three 8th graders in as subs.

\

Suguru: Kunimatsu.
Kunimatsu: Hmm.. First up is 1 defender-

\

Kunimatsu: Nakatsuka Kouta!
Kouta: Yes... yes yes yes yes yes!

------

(pg09)

Kunimatsu: 1 midfielder-
Endou Manabu!

Manabu: OK!
sfx: Yes!

\

Kunimatsu: And 1 forward-
Nishijima: Who will be the lucky one to have the honour of sharing the bench with me?
sfx: looks around

\

Kunimatsu: Aizawa Kakeru.

------

(pg10)

Kakeru: ......
Kakeru: Egh? [K: I swear this boy says Eh? and Huh? and What? etc. half the time...]

\

Nishijima: Wha-?!

\

Yuusuke: For real?
Kouta: Yeah- I'm a sub defender!

\

Kunimatsu: Report, Aizawa Kakeru!

\

Kakeru: Uh... yes!
WHAAAA-?
Kakeru: Me?!
sfx (Kakeru): GAA-N [K: dunno how to translate this... the online guide says, 'A big revelation, ALWAYS horrible

:P' Well you could translate it as a huge WHAAAAAAAAT]
sfx (Nana): clap clap

\

Kakeru: H... Hey, what are you thinking?!
Kakeru: I'm the manager...

\

sfx: Biff
Kakeru: Ah!

------

(pg11)

Suguru: The decision has been made. Go change!
Suguru: The red team will be the substitutes. You'll be a starter forward for them.

\

Kakeru: This... Isn't this a little ridiculous?!
Suguru: Are you afraid of losing face?

\

Kakeru: Ugh...

\

Suguru: You're scared of being embarrassed, and so you become the manager? We don't need that type of person!
Quit the club now!

Kakeru: W... wait... I really want to be a manager...
Suguru: Again with the excuses!
Kakeru!

------

(pg12)

Suguru: You're just scared of letting people see "the real you"!

\

Suguru: But you also don't have the courage to give up football!
Suguru: That's why you decided to go for the manager position! [K: Conan if you could find a better translation that incorporates the manager thing and fleeing playing to become a manager that would be appreciated ]

\

Suguru: Am I wrong, Kakeru?

\

Nana: "The real you"?

\

------

(pg13)

Suguru: If you're not going to listen to your captain, then leave! [K: is that too strong.. ]
That is all!

Suguru: Okay, start warming up.

\

Bubble: The match starts in 10 minutes! Make sure you drink enough water!

\

Nishijima: Damn it, why did the manager get picked?
Guy1: That's just wrong!
Guy2: Huh!

\

Kakeru: Su... [K: or Big brother...]

\

Yuusuke: Kakeru...
Kouta: Yay! I'm going to the bench!
Kakeru: Fine...

\

Yuusuke: Eh?

------

(pg14)

Kakeru: Fine! I'll do it, damn it!

\

Kakeru: Yuusuke, help me warm up!
Yuusuke: Kakeru?

\

Kakeru: Come on!

\

Yuusuke: ...
OK!

\

box: Actually that hurt a bit, and it made me kinda mad...

\

box: But on the other hand, another part of me was a little excited...

------

(pg15)

box: It may have only been for a short amount of time, but even so,
box: I looked forward to running together with my brother on the field... [K: Lol Kakeru also means 'to run'

haha.]

\

Nana: Hey Kakeru, look!
Nana: Suguru-san's putting on a red bib.

\

Nana: He's in the same team as you.

\

Kakeru: OK! [K: lol is this ok? If not, tell me.. and i'm serious lol XD It might be misinterpreted..]

------

(pg16-17)

Players: Let's have a good match! [K: This fails as a literate translation. But it has the general gist... I'm taking the phrase, which means like 'please teach me a lot' as something that is customarily said before games. Because it so is... I have to say it here in Hong Kong too So yeah something that has that effect... PS Conan changed it XD]

box: But, I didn't know...

\

box: that this chance to run with my brother on the same team on the field...
box: would be my last... [K: I inverted the word order (putting last well.. last) to make it more dramatic, if that messes up the sentence, feel free to change.]

------

(pg18)

Kakeru: Hm?
...Don't tell me that the red team's...

\

Kakeru: only forward is me?!
Kakeru: It's... a one top?! [K: if that term doesn't exist... I don't know. :\ lone forward? Yeah.. I should brush up on vocab xD]
sfx: WHAT [K: same GAN thing here (there was also a gan when Kakeru was drafted)]

\

Kakeru (no bubble): H-hey, wait a minute... I don't have any experience at playing a one top...
Kakeru (no bubble): This responsibility is huge...
Kakeru (bubble): I'm starting to get nervous..

\

Kakeru: Okay... write the Japanese character for 'person' on your hand... person... person... Crap, how do I write that character?! [K: In Japan it's customary to write that character on your hand to help you focus and keep you from being nervous. The character of 'person' is also easy to write and as an intrinsic part of the language it's pretty damn hard to forget...]

-----

(pg19)

sfx: Peep
guy: Kickoff!

\

Kouta: Huh... Kakeru's so lucky to be a starter...
small text: He immediately got passed... [K: or evaded, or something that says that he let the guy go]

sfx: fwump [K: or an appropriate sfx denoting plopping down]
Nishijima: Ch!

\

Nishijima: That guy only got the spot because of his brother.
He'll mess up soon!
Kouta: Eh Nishijima?!

Kouta: This guy is annoying; I'll move away...

small text: Nana-chaaan~

\

arrow: buried underground
sfx: shuu...
Nana: Hey Kouta, can I ask you something?
Kouta: What?

\

Nana: What Suguru-san said about Kakeru just now...

------

(pg21)

Suguru: You're just scared of letting people see "the real you"!

\

Nana: What did that mean?
Kouta: Well... well, you'll know when you see it...
small text: I guess...
arrow text: Still buried...

\

Nana: You mean that he really can't use his left leg?
Kouta: Ah? So you know.
Well, that too, but he also has a flaw that's fatal for a forward...

\

Kouta: Aaahh, but Suguru-san's mean, too;
embarrassing Kakeru on purpose.
sfx: heave!

\

Guy: Oy, Kouta! Don't chat with girls, watch the game!
Kouta: Ah! Sorry!
Nana: Sorry!
Guy: Oh, no, it's not your fault Mishima. I wasn't yelling at you.

\

Guy: Kouta, you're also a defender, so look at Kunimatsu's actions closely!

Blushing guys: Nana-chan's cute, isn't she~?

------

(pg22)

Guy: He's one of the top 5 in Kanagawa [K: Maybe we should have an editor's note at the end saying that this story is set in the city of Kamakura, which is in the prefecture of Kanagawa, which is in the region of Kantou. C: Makes Sense.]
Guy: with his skill as a defender...
Kouta: Y... yes..

\

sfx: flit

\

Kouta: Kunimatsu-san is really harsh.

\

sfx Kakeru: thmp
sfx Kunimatsu: ssrrrt [K: It's meant to be feet sliding on grass lol..]

\

Kouta: He's blocking all the passing routes to Kakeru, who's a lone forward.

------

(pg23)

Nana: Mmmm... but the defenders on the two sides are too far back!
Kouta: Eh?

\

Nana: That means that there will be holes in the middle of the field! If the ball carrier dribbles past someone and does a through pass, there'll be a scoring opportunity.
I think that Suguru-san will do just that!

Nana: The defence is doing fine against the other people, but they need to close in on Suguru-san!

\

Kouta: That... That's true! [K: I think he's just winging it now.]
Nana knows so much about football!
small text: Not just a bimbo! [K: Not sure about this. I have a feeling the Chinese and Japanese are totally different..]

Nana: Well, I'm the manager!

\

Nana: Ah, the ball's been passed to Suguru-san!
Kouta: Eh?
sfx: bam

------

(pg24)

Kunimatsu: Suguru has the ball!

\

Kunimatsu: Yuusuke, mark him!

\

Yuusuke: OK!
sfx: thmp (running)

------

(pg25)

Kouta: I feel bad for Yuusuke, but this won't take long.
He can't win a 1-on-1 against the number 10 for the U-15 team.

Nana: Saeki-kun's pretty good!
Kouta: Huh?

\

Nana: I'd heard that before middle school he was an attacking midfielder, [K: lol glossary time for those who don't have vocab like me XD Same with words like through pass and whatever..]
but I think that he suits the defensive midfielder position more! [K: Actually he may be a wide midfielder... I am honestly not sure. I am sorry D:]

Nana: His stamina is good, and his movements are agile!
I think that anyone would get really tired if they were marked by a player of this caliber.

\

Kouta: ...Just what is Nana-chan...?
Nana: Ah, Suguru-san's trying to pass him!

\

sfx: whoosh

------

(pg26)

sfx: skrrt

\

Nana: See? If he uses his body to block like that, he can't be passed easily!
small text: And he won't be called for fouling!

Kouta: She knows more than me...

\

\

\

sfx: right- swish
left- bump

\

Kakeru: ...Yuusuke really is good!
Kakeru: He completely saw through my brother's feint! [K: Should it be 'fake'?]

------

(pg27)

Thoughts: So, as I thought... yesterday's "Grey Mask" was Yuusuke, huh...?

\

Thoughts: But even if Yuusuke is good, my brother will definitely pass him.
That constant switching from left to right is probably...

\

Yuusuke: I can't let him by!
Yuusuke: It may only be an internal match, but the chance to seriously go against Suguru-san is really rare! [K: phrased badly..]

\

Yuusuke: To the left?
sfx: dum

\

Yuusuke: No! This is a fake!
Yuusuke: In the end he'll go to the right and...

------

(pg28-29) [K: OMG I REMEMBER THIS MOVE. OH WAIT SPOILERS. -shot- Dx]

Yuusuke: What?!

\

Yuusuke: Be... between the legs?

\

------

(pg30)

Kakeru: So that was it! All that switching from left to right was to get Yuusuke to widen up his legs...!
Kakeru: His fakes were all just to set up for this!

\

\

Kakeru: My brother's a genius! [K: Oh god if I have to live through this guy saying 'xxx is really/definitely good/great/talented/wonderful/awesome!' i'll... I dunno. It's annoying... thank god he stops...]

\

Kouta: Wow!
Nana: Suguru-san is as good as ever...
girls: eee! eee! (squealing)

\

Kakeru: But...

------

(pg31)

sfx right: dumf [K: sound of boots hitting ground lol]
sfx left: sssssssrt

Kunimatsu: He's by himself, so I'll be able to cover all passes to him.
It'd be humiliating if he gets a chance to shoot!

Kunimatsu: I have to keep an eye on him!

\

Yuusuke: You're not getting past!
sfx: bump

\

\

Kunimatsu: Good! Okay, Yuusuke!

\

Kunimatsu: Just keep marking him from the left!
Block Suguru's left leg!

------

(pg32)

Kouta: As to be expected from Kunimatsu-san!
Yuusuke's blocked Suguru's strong left side, and the pass routes have all been cut!

Kouta: Now even Suguru-san can't get through...

\

Nana: Can it really block him..?
Kouta: Eh?

\

Yuusuke: I won't let you pass!

\

sfx: whoosh

\

Yuusuke: Don't run!

------

(pg33)

\

Yuusuke: Cr-
small text: The ball's still at the back..

\

sfx: spin

\

sfx: sszzzzzump

\

Yuusuke: Ugh!

------

(pg34)

sfx: wham

\

Kouta: He can still pass after all of that? Is it going to the left? [K: crappy trans..]

\

Probably Nana: No,
Nana: This pass...

------

(pg35)

\

Nana: ...is heading straight at Kakeru, in front of the goal!
Kunimatsu: Wh..?!

------

(pg36)

Kunimatsu: When did that guy run ahead..!
sfx: swoosh

\

Kakeru: UUUUHH! [K: Lol that is weird... it's a pant of exertion..]

\

Kunimatsu: Idiot! He won't reach it in time!

\

Kakeru: I have to reach it!

------

(pg37)

Kakeru: Gwah!
sfx: (right) whump
sfx: (left) domf

\

sfx: bumpf bumpf bumpf

\

Kakeru: Huh...
huh... [K: This is panting]

Kakeru: Dammit...
Kakeru: Huh...

\

Kunimatsu: Whew!

\

Nana: What a pity! Only a bit more.
Kouta: Wow.. that really sucks for him!
Nishijima: How so?
small text above his head: slide (it's more of an sfx..)

\

Kouta: Ni... Nishijima?!
small text: Why the hell did you move next to me?!

Nishijima: He missed it by like 2 metres, didn't he? And even if he caught it, there's no way he could have shot it in the goal!
small text: He was played by his brother!

\

Suguru: You moved too late.
sfx: scrape

------

(pg38)

Suguru: You should have caught that ball!

\

Kakeru: I'll get the next one for sure!
sfx: spin

\

sfx: pant/huh/yeah/great/random background noise in games...

\

sfx: heh heh [K: well actually the sfx means grin grin but i think that's dumb...]

Kouta: Why doesn't this guy just leave..

------

(pg39)

Nana: Suguru-san's got the ball again!

\

sfx: wham

\

\

sfx: right- thump
sfx: left- domf

\

Nishijima: Ha ha! He screwed up again!
small text on left: Completely ignored

Kouta: Suguru-san's passes are too strong...
He's trying to teach his brother something, isn't he?

------

(pg40)

Nana: I think that Kakeru is the one
Nana: who is demanding those types of passes.

\

Kouta: Huh?

\

Kouta: What do you mean, Kakeru's demanding it? It's impossible to receive that kind of pass!
And why aren't the other offence members following in? Kakeru's by himself!

\

Nana: It's not that they don't want to help him, it's that they can't help him. [K: Please emphasise the word can't!]

Nishijima sfx: yawn

------

(pg41)

Nana: Suguru-san's passes are too sudden...
Nana: No one can react in time!

------

(pg42)

Nana: No one except for Kakeru.

------

(pg43)

\

Kunimatsu: Kakeru, you okay?
Kakeru: Eh... Ye.. Yeah, Kunimatsu-san. I'm fine.

\

Kunimatsu: His passes are always so stupid... [K: alternatively 'crazy' can be used. I'm getting the feeling that they sound like they're thirty...]

Kunimatsu: They're so harsh that even Ishikawa and Endou probably couldn't catch them.
[K: Haha I love Suguru's expression in this panel.]

------

(pg44)

Kunimatsu: You don't do a lot of running normally as a manager, so you'll get muscle cramps if you exercise too vigorously. Want to sub out?

Kakeru: No!

\

Kunimatsu: Kakeru...

\

Kakeru: Don't worry, Kunimatsu-san. I can almost reach the ball now.

------

(pg45)

\

Kunimatsu: That guy... He was able to control his breathing so quickly after running for so long...

\

Kunimatsu: He can't be serious about catching that pass?
Kunimatsu: It's a harsh pass from someone who was able to represent Japan at the age of 15...

\

Guy: White goal-kick!
sfx: thump

\

sfx: ssssssssrt

\

Kunimatsu: Idiots! Don't let Suguru move freely, both of you mark him! [K: What an inspiring figurehead...]
Kunimatsu: Don't let Suguru do anything fancy from now on!

------

(pg46)

Kunimatsu: You can't be serious! He may represent the country, but he's also a middle schooler like us!
Kunimatsu: I'm one of the top 5 defenders in Kanagawa!

\

Kunimatsu: I won't let him near the ball again!

\

Kakeru: ...
Nii-chan...

\

Suguru: Kakeru,
Suguru: forwards gotta show that they want the ball!

\

Suguru: Show it with your eyes! [K: Or should it be 'show me'? With your gaze?]

\

Suguru: And then...

------

(pg47)

Suguru: I'll pass to you for sure! [K: Oh, little Suguru is too cute. OH SUGURU...]

\

Kakeru: Just a bit more...
and I'll reach it...

\

Guy: Aah! Suguru-san's snatched the ball again!
Guy: I don't believe it! We watched him so closely!

\

Nana: The problem is, how will be pass?
Nana: The white team's defense is getting tighter and tighter.

\

Nana: The gap in the middle has also closed up.
Nana: I think that even Suguru-san would find it hard to pass to Kakeru.

------

(pg48)

Kouta: Eh, passing to Kakeru again?
Nana: Of course! All the other offensive players in the red team are terrified of Suguru's passes.
Only Kakeru is looking for them.

\

Nana: He's saying "Pass it to me!" with his eyes.

------

(pg49)

Kakeru: I'll catch it for sure!
Kakeru: So...

\

Kouta: B.. But, even if it is Suguru-san...
The passing routes have all been blocked, so how will be pass to Kakeru?

Kouta: Wouldn't bringing the ball to the side, then moving back towards the centre and attacking in the confusion... [K: Incomplete on purpose.]

\

Yuusuke: I'll stop you this time!
I won't let you pass, Suguru-san!
sfx: thmp

\

------

(pg50)

[K: owned.]

\

Yuusuke: I... I can't move.
Yuusuke: It would be unwise to move closer. He'd let loose a killer pass.

\

Yuusuke: But if I keep my distance he'll dribble past me...
Yuusuke: What a terrifying aura! This... this is...

------

(pg51)

Yuusuke: the power of Japan's U-15 ace... [K: Japanese text says 'the presence', but I dunno I feel that to be weird. Anyway AHAHAHAHAHA OH SUGURU...]

\

Kakeru sfx: [K: My best translation would be an exclamation mark... the dictionary says 'stiff, rigid']
Kunimatsu: Yuusuke, what are you doing! A DM has to hustle and snatch the ball!

\

Yuusuke: B.. but...

\

Kunimatsu: Give him pressure, get the ball out to the sides!
Kunimatsu: Don't worry, the pass routes to the front are all blocked!

------

(pg52)

Yuusuke: ...damn it!
Yuusuke: Look out! [K: I think that sounds dumb on second thoughts..]

\

\

\

Yuusuke: I have to steal the ball!

\

Kunimatsu: Eh?

------

(pg53-54)

Nana: That's it, look at Kakeru!
sfx: jump
Kouta?: Huh?

\

Nana: It's essential for a forward to be able to draw passes.

\

Nana: The playmaker isn't solely responsible for making decisive passes to the forwards!
Nana: All those passes that Kakeru wasn't able to receive just now were requested by him!

\

\

------

(pg55)

Nana: Once a forward starts running towards a passing route that is still invisible...

------

(pg56)

Nana: the creativity of the playmaker... [K: or the playmaker's creativity? Different tone..]

\

Nana: ...Will cause miracles to happen...

------

(pg57-58)

Nana: ...With a magical killer pass...
Nana: ...That cuts across the field!

[K: The perfect type of page for me. No annoying sound effects, beautiful art, just one sentence... :3]

------

(pg59)

Kouta?: W... wow!
Kouta: He squeezed through the paper-thin gap in the defence! [K: if you feel that Kouta cannot be this poetic, replace with tiny lol. But he did use paper thin in the Japanese...]

\

Kouta: K... Kakeru!

\

\

Nishijima: W.. what?!
Nishijima: He's not going to get the ball?!

------

(pg60)

Kakeru: I have to get it!
Kakeru: My bro... no, Aizawa Suguru will never do a pass that's impossible to receive!

\

Kakeru: A veteran player in high school football team... A player in the J-League... [K: Japanese League] A player in the national team...

Kakeru: No! A world-class like Ronaldo...

\

Kakeru: would catch the ball for sure!

------

(pg61-62)

sfx: smack

\

Kakeru: Yes!

\

------

(pg63)

Kouta: Amazing, he got it!
Nishijima: No... freaking..

\

Goalie: Keh!

\

Nana: Shoot, Kakeru!

\

sfx: sssskkkrt

------

(pg64)

Kakeru: UUUUAGHHH! [K: I fail at exclamations of exertion...]

------

(pg65)

Nishijima: No freaking way!
sfx: WHAT [K: well, it indicates shock and disappointment...]

Japan's U-15 team ace player number 10, Aizawa Suguru, and his younger brother, Kakeru, who has a burning passion for football despite only being good enough to be a manager, will make history!

\

4-koma on right:

1. Kakeru: My brother Aizawa Suguru...
Is always so expressionless. sfx: jump jump

2. Kakeru: Even though my brother appears strict,
he actually loves to eat desserts.

3. He always sneaks in some pudding by himself.
At times like this, his expression has to show some content!
sfx: gulp

4. Kakeru: HE'S STILL EXPRESSIONLESS?!

(page01)

SFX: yeeeeeaaaahhhhhh [K: cheering]
Commentator: This is the U-15 Japan-South American Exchange Cup: Japan versus Brazil!
Commentator: Only two minutes of injury time remain in the second half, and Brazil is still leading 2-1!

\

Commentator: It's becoming tougher and tougher for Japan! They need to score an equaliser quickly, no matter what!

\

Commentator: However, Brazil have maintained control over the ball, and they're still attacking fiercely!

\

Kakeru: [thinking] I love football!

------

(page02)

Commentator: Ah! It's Aizawa! Japan's number 10, Aizawa Suguru-

Commentator: And he dribbles up the field!

\

Kakeru: [thoughts] He completely turned the tide of the match in the blink of an eye!
And that feeling of speed!

\

Commentator: He's passed one defender... two now!
Kakeru: [etc] Such a beautiful solo effort-

\

Some Brazilian dude: You won't get through me!

\

------

(page08-09)

Kakeru: What a magical through pass! In that short moment...
He's reduced the gap from tens of metres to zero!

\

Commentator: It's caught the Brazilian defenders off guard!
With a brilliant left-foot pass, he's gracefully arced the ball up the field!
sfx: bam

sfx: wham

\

sfx: punch

Commentator: Oh! And the goalkeeper blocks it! What a pity!

\

Commentator: The Brazilian defenders have cleared the ball away from the penalty area!

\

Commentator: Ah! The ball may have been cleared, BUT...

------

(page11)

Commentator: It's as though the ball is attracted to Aizawa's feet!

\

Kakeru: GO-
THAT'S RIGHT!
[thoughts] And then, like a flash of light-

They have drawn 2-2 with Brazil, the reigning champions! Ah, what an exhilarating performance from the Japanese U-15 Football Team~~~!!

Kakeru: S... s-s-s-sorry, are you all right?
[small text in bubble] I... I got way too excited!
[smaller text out of bubble] The pain! The pain! Oww!

Kakeru's sister: What are you doing Kake-nii! You're such an idiot!

Kakeru: Brazilian defenders are keeping pressure on him!

Kakeru: He slips past one defender... Two! Aizawa's miraculously brought the ball up safely!

Aah! He's looking this way!
sfx: Eeeeeee!

K's Thoughts: But...

------

(page19)

\

Yuusuke: Suguru-san's really harsh towards you huh, Kakeru?
Kouta: Maybe you're not really his younger brother!
[small text] Did your parents find you under a bridge?

Kakeru: Nah... I'm just a bit thick at times...
[small text] I'm like my old man actually...

\

Kouta: Well, Suguru-san's harsh towards me too!
He hit me the other day for spying on the girls' changing room.
[small text] Does he expect a lot from me?

Yuusuke: You lucky bastard... You only got hit...
Kakeru: So true...
Kouta (floating bubble on the left next to ...): So you want to be like me too?

\

Big nose guy: Manager! Go and prepare some Gatarade!
[small text] There isn't enough!

Kakeru: Okay-
Yuusuke: I'll pummel you.

\

Girl: Ah! Kakeru-senpai, just leave it to us!
Kakeru: Oh? Are you sure? Thanks!
[small text] Then I'll just polish this ball instead...
Kouta: I'll help you girls out!!

\

Kouta: Let's go prepare Gatarade together!
Girls: It's... it's all right, Nakatsuka-senpai!
[small text] What happened to practice?
Yuusuke: That idiot...

------

(page20)

Yuusuke: So, Kakeru
Kakeru: Hm?
Yuusuke: Are you going to go on like this?

\

Yuusuke: Didn't you feel something when you watched yesterday's match against Brazil?
Yuusuke: After watching your brother play so well, didn't you want to give it a go again?

\

\

Yuusuke: Kakeru.
Yuusuke: Come back into the team!
Kakeru: Yuusuke.

\

Kakeru: Want some sour pickled seaweed? [=Sukonbu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kombu]

\

Yuusuke: It's true that we need someone to be our manager, after all, we train quite a lot...
but... didn't you use to play as a forward in the 1st year?
Yuusuke: You might not have been chosen for the team this year, but you didn't have to take up the position of manager straight away...

\

Yuusuke: I know! If you work on your "left"-
Kakeru: Yuusuke!

------

(page21)

Kakeru: I'm telling you, I'm not just going to stop at being the manager of a middle school football team!
I'm going to work my way up managing just like my brother is working his way up footballing!
sfx: pat pat

\

Kakeru: And then I want to study to become a trainer!
When genius footballer Aizawa Suguru steps into the World Cup stadium, I'll also be with him!
Kakeru: As my brother's manager and trainer!
[small text] That's my dream!

\

\

Guy: Yuusuke! Sub in! C'mon!
Yuusuke: Ah! Yes!

Yuusuke: ...huh,
Yuusuke: I guess everybody's goals in life are different.

Kouta: Kakeru~~

Kouta: Damn... I approached the girl to kiss her, and...
sfx: wipe wipe
Kakeru: What did you do, Kouta...
[small text] In broad daylight...

Kouta: I was just being true to my personality!

\

Kouta: !
Agh! Yuusuke went on again in the mini-game! He left me behind!
Sign: I am the pervert king!
[small text] Won't I get to play today?

Kakeru: [small text] You have something stuck to your back!
It can't be helped! Yuusuke is the best amongst the 8th graders, after all!

\

Kakeru: He's a defensive midfielder now, but actually, if Suguru wasn't here he could have been the playmaker by now.
Kouta: Huh... it must be good to be a manager, so carefree and all!
People like me have to worry about tomorrow's tryout match!
Speech bubble: Ah!

Kakeru: Yuusuke!

Guy: Yuusuke is so good... he's definitely going to be chosen for the team.
Guy 2: He would have become an ace long ago if he wasn't in this school...
Kakeru: NICE JOB, YUUSUKE!

\

Kakeru: Hey Kouta! Did you see that? Yuusuke was great just now!
Kouta: Huh, being a manager suits you after all! You get so happy at other people's achievements!

\

Kakeru: What 'other people'... he's a friend, and a teammate!

\

Kouta: O God, please make it so that someone can't come because of diarrhoea, so I get a chance to play! [K: I can't do praying very well lol.]
Kakeru: Have you heard of the phrase 'Harm set, harm get'?

\

Kouta: I'm never going to take advice from someone who's happy polishing footballs!
Kakeru: Ah- so, you're happy right now?
Kouta: Go away!

Outsiders are barred from entering! Do you want your breasts massaged? Legally.

\

box: At that time, nobody saw Seven as a girl, because she was so much like the boys.
box: And she was also very tall, and worked hard at football. But in the summer of 5th grade her parents were transferred to America, so she moved away...

\

Guy: Oh! She's really cute!

\

Kakeru: [thoughts] She's become very womanly...
[small text] She didn't have breasts at all before...

Nana: Ah... oh yeah.

Gossiping guys: When Suguru is really serious about passing, it's like no one can receive it...
GG: But if we want to advance into the national stage, we'll have to receive it no matter how much it takes...

What’s the matter, Iwaki?

The match is just over. What is it that you wished to speak to me about?

I have something to request, Kondou- sensei.

Something to request?

Can you bring the FC students …

Over to SC.

Sfx- Bow

Kondou:

What?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 12

Iwaki:

Enoshima High FC,

I will disband it starting today.

//

Kondou:

…
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 13

Iwaki:

Although they are still unpolished,

But all of them are talented, all are fantastic sportsmen.

Of course, the SC members are the same.

//

Kondou:

…

//

Iwaki:

A defense anchorman, lively and a captain that possessed a strong commanding presence …

Oda Ryouma.

//

Iwaki:

Appearing only in the middle of the match, yet possessing a magic-like footballing techniques …

In the last minutes, it is his long pass that eventually led to a tie.

Araki Ryuuichi.

//

Iwaki:

Possessing an intimidating physical presence,

He utilizes his speed and height to score goals.

Takase Michirou.

//

Kondou:

…

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 14

Iwaki:

Despite his small built, he still dribbles past his opponents. A person with sufficient techniques …

Matoba Kaoru.

//

Iwaki:

Skilled in attacks, and not forgetting that he is the first one to score for SC …

Sawamura Yuuji.

//

Iwaki:

Possessing a broad field of vision, stable ball control and accurate passing ability,

He took the place of the missing Araki in the first half.

Hyoudou Makoto.

//

Iwaki:

He amazingly put a halt on FC’s fierce attacks in the second half,

Making positive contributes to the attacks.

Kaiouji Gou.

Sakurai’s side crosses.

Together with Nakatsuka Kouta’s strict marking were equally impressive.

Iwaki:

And …

Iwaki:

The person that broke into SC’s iron defense,

He’s the purebred scoring king that got two goals.

Aizawa Kakeru.

//

Iwaki:

The genius that is prophesized to live up to Japan's football standard, but unfortunately died at a young age.

He is Aizawa Suguru’s younger brother.

Kondou:

What?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 16

Iwaki:

It is a miracle that so many talents have gathered at Enoshima High, a school that has no track records.

If their talent and their passion can mixed together and form a team,

It would no longer be a dream that we can win in the preliminaries. Won’t you agree with me, Coach Kondou?

//

Kondou:

…

//

Iwaki:

We can still go at it again, the winning team would of course secure the representative spot …

No matter what would the result be, the losing team will lose the chance to develop.

//

Iwaki:

As their educator,

I don’t want to do anything that would destroy their talents.

//

Iwaki:

That is why I requested for the FC members to …

Kondou:

Do you still remember, Iwaki?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 17

Kondou:

10 years ago, when you formed FC …

//

Iwaki:

Kondou- sensei …

//

Kondou:

At that time while I was the guardian and you as the captain, our opinions collided.

The team eventually split into two.

//

Kondou:

A FC with only 15 members,

In the end won against my team of 60 members.

//

Iwaki:

…

//

Kondou:

Eventually, your team went on to win the preliminaries. And even advanced to the nationals …

Iwaki:

Sensei, that matter is already …

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 18

Kondou:

At that time if I could have helped you guys,

Enoshima High could have been the national champion …

Iwaki:

…

//

Kondou:

Starting today, SC will also be disbanded.

Iwaki:

Huh?

Kondou:

This will give birth to a new team.

That will also be Enoshima High’s only football team.

//

//

Iwaki:

Kondou- sensei!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 19

Kondou:

You will be in charge …

Of the team’s coaching.

Iwaki:

…!

//

Kondou:

This is what a stubborn and persistent coach, with blocking your talent in the process,

Can offer you as a final compensation.

Iwaki:

…

//

Iwaki:

Thank … Thank you!

Kondou- sensei!

Kondou:

It is no longer SC, nor it is FC …

I want a larger serving of curry.

Araki:

I want an extra large!

Makoto:

He eats too much …

Horikawa:

Auntie, is mine ready?

Sfx- Thump Thump

Auntie:

Here you go, super extra large curry!

Horikawa:

Hehe

What a LARGE serving!

But the sauce is too little!

Back Cover

Betting on this summer’s National High School preliminaries tournament’s representative spot, FC and SC battled it out!

Aizawa and gang utilized only techniques and instincts to attack, are being counter-attacked by SC, who are making use of physical plays. FC is slowly been forced into a corner.

Irregardless of it, FC did not give up but continue to fight on. Finally, that ‘person’ returns!

Commentator: It’s not an offside after all!

Commentator: 3-2!

Sfx: Cheer

Commentator: It’s Araki’s trick!

Sfx: Cheer

Commentator: What sort of magic did he perform?

Text: #33 The Best Show

Commentator: When the ball is passed, the receiver must have at least two people between them and the goal.

Text in Black Bubble: Keeper

Text in Black Bubble: DF

Text in White Bubble: Kakeru

Text in White Bubble: Araki

Text in Box: Not Offside

Commentator: In other words there must be the goalkeeper and one defender to not be offside.

Commentator: Just now, excluding the goalkeeper, there were no other defenders.

Text in Black Bubble: DF

Text in Lower White Bubble: Araki

Text in Box: Offside

Text in Black Bubble: Keeper

Text in Upper White Bubble: Kakeru

Text in Black Bubble: DF

Commentator: And it seemed like Aizawa received the ball and shot?

Kondou: Ref, where were you looking!?

Kondou: That was obviously an offside!

Iwaki: That really was a goal, Coach Kondou.

Sfx: Grin

Kondou: Iwaki.

Iwaki: However,

Iwaki: It wasn’t Aizawa who scored,

Iwaki: But Araki.

Kondou: What?

Iwaki: Aizawa did not react to the ball at all.

Iwaki: All he did was run towards the goal.

Page 3

Kondou: How can that be!? The ball went to his feet before it changed direction and sped up!

Kondou: !

Kondou: …

Kondou: Was it a spin ball?

Iwaki: That’s absolutely right.

Iwaki: Araki aimed for the legs of Aizawa who was running towards goal,

Iwaki: Let the ball bounce,

Iwaki: And made it seem like Aizawa had shot for goal, the ball bouncing strongly and changing direction.

Iwaki: To use tennis to explain, it is like topspin,

Iwaki: Kicking the ball with a slightly slanted spin in the forward direction.

Page 4

Iwaki: Even if the ball was passed to a place where the striker was offside,

Iwaki: As long as he did not react to the ball, it would not be counted as a pass.

Kondou: …

Iwaki: It would be a direct shot.

Iwaki: This is unquestionable.

Iwaki: That was Araki’s Long Shot.

Mushroom Guy: You bastard! You must have been peeking when we were training.

Araki: Eh? I have no idea what you’re saying.

Mushroom: Still playing dumb!

Sfx: Thump

Kakeru: …

Page 5

Text: That’s amazing…

Text: Araki-san is amazing.

Text: He only needed to see it once to be able to grasp a shot that is so difficult to time and control.

Text: And he even added in topspin to fool the opponents!

Nana thinking: …

Nana thinking: The magician that had Suguru dumb-founded still exists.

Text: We’re only 1 point down.

Text: There’ll be no problem!

Commentator: W-What! That ball just now was not Aizawa but Araki’s shot at goal!

Page 6-7 double spread

Sfx in the 1st panel is all: Cheer

Commentator: Fooling us into thinking it was a pass to the FC’s forward,

Commentator: It was actually Araki’s own trick shot!

Commentator: Like a magic show,

Commentator: Closing the gap to 1 point!

Crowd: Ohhh, that’s awesome, Araki!

Crowd: You’re so cool!

Page 8

Takase: Damnit… That kind of ball isn’t going to work the next time!

Oda: They will not use it a second time.

Takase: Oda-senpai.

Oda: Be careful, Takase.

Oda: He is an unfathomable man,

Oda: This Araki Ryuuichi.

Takase: ……

Oda: With 17 minutes left, there’s no need for unnecessary attacks. We just need to defend the 1 point difference to win.

Oda: Takase, you go mark Araki as well.

Takase: Yes.

Takase: …

Takase thinking: Why is he so happy?

Page 9

Mushroom: We stand a good chance now! Just one more point!

Others: Yeah!

Kakeru: Araki-senpai!

Kakeru: You’re amazing, suddenly adding a spin to the ball like that!

Araki: We’re still behind by 1 point, stupid. Is it the time to be happy?

Kakeru: Sorry, but I really am happy.

Araki: ……

Araki: It’d be you performing for me the next time.

Kakeru: Eh?

Page 10

Araki: With our pass,

Araki: We’ll crush their iron wall of a defense.

Kakeru: Araki-senpai…

Araki: The stage is yours to craft.

Kakeru: !?

Araki: Leave the acting to me.

Araki: Let’s give them the best show!

Commentator: Since number 10 Araki came on, the atmosphere soared to a new high!

Commentator: The Enoshima High Football Team traditional representative selection game!

Commentator: 16 minutes left in the game, and only 1 point separating the teams!

Commentator: It’s getting harder to tell who’ll win in the end!

Oda: Another one to mark 9!

Oda: Don’t let him get into the penalty area!

Oda: Don’t let Hino come barrelling forward again!

Mushroom #2 thinking: This Oda seems to have caught on fire after seeing Araki’s play.

Page 12

Mushroom #2: Heh.

Mushroom #2: Well… I can understand what he’s feeling!

Sfx: Dash

Araki: Yukizou! Mark the striker!

Araki: You haven’t done much in the second half.

Hama: Oh… Right!

Sfx: Bam

Sawamura: Urgh!

Sawamura: Damnit! They suddenly became more spirited!

Page 13

Araki: Kaoru.

Kaoru: Ah… Yes!
small text in the same bubble: Why suddenly call me by first name?

Araki: You don’t need to be so restricted to the right side. You can move more.

Araki: Even if the ball isn’t with us, the match still goes on.

Araki: You must think of the opponents as 11, 12, or even 13 people.

Kaoru: Yes!

Text: He very clearly knew that I always only moved on the right.

Araki: Kouta.

Kouta: Yes?

Araki: What yes?

Araki: Sticking to your man is good,

Araki: But you take too long to get back for defense!

Araki: An undefended left side will be a huge hole!

Araki: Return immediately after you pass the ball, alright?

Kouta: Yes… Sorry.

Kakeru: ……

Text: The calls he’s making… it’s like he’s always been on the pitch with us…

Page 14

Text: No, maybe he’s always…

Text: Been fighting together with us on the pitch!

Kakeru: !?

Kakeru thinking: Wait.

Araki just a short while ago: The stage is yours to craft.

Kakeru thinking: So that’s it! If that’s really the case, then it means…

Sfx: Dash

Bald: Whoa! What are you guys doing?
Small text in same bubble: All rushing for the ball like little children…

Iwaki: That’s it! Our FC’s football is all about having the ball under our feet!

Iwaki: Which increases our possession for us to play.

Iwaki: So having them enthusiastically rushing for the ball from all corners is very important.

Iwaki: After the king’s return, the FC is finally back to its original self.

Bald: Urgh!

Sfx: Whoosh

Iwaki: Take a good look.

Iwaki: Practicing on sand allowed them to snatch for the ball as vigorously as little children.

Iwaki: Pressuring the opponent…

Page 16

Iwaki: And forcing mistakes.

Mushroom: Mine!

Kouta: Ha?

Kouta: What are you doing, Kakeru?!

Kouta: I’m going to break past their defence and pass the ball into the penalty area to you!

Chapter 34 Connection

//

Kakeru:

Araki- sempai had always known.

My football is lacking in something.

//

Kakeru:

That is why …

Araki:

You have to set up your own stage.

//

Kakeru:

I have to set the stage! The stage, where I can proclaim myself as the scoring king!

//

Opposition defender:

Mark him!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Page 2

Commentator:

What?

Sfx- Heavy thump

//

Commentator:

Hah!

Sfx- Gooo~

Commentator:

It is a mid- range shot towards the goal!

//

Todou:

Hah!

Sfx- Smack!

//

Sfx- Oooooh (Disappointment)

Sfx- Soft Bound

Commentator:

Corner!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 3

Commentator:

Although it was a bit unexpected, Number 9 Aizawa Kakeru took a beautiful mid-range shot towards the goal!

That powerful right legged shot outside the penalty box was a bit unexpected given his slender body proportion! It looks like the opposition can no longer be negligent about that.

Sfx- Oooooh (Disappointment)

//

Oda:

…

He took a mid- range shot …

//

Araki:

Don’t tell me that this fellow has projectiles with him!

Although it is still incomparable to Suguru’s rocket shot, it is still not that bad.

//

Araki:

If that is the case, he could get the ‘stage’ set up.

//

Commentator:

This is FC’s chance.

Who would Araki pass the ball to?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 4

Commentator:

It’s Hino!

Sfx- Stab

//

Hino:

!

Sfx- Smack

//

Commentator:

Sadly it was headed out by Kaiouji!

The ball is cleared out of the penalty box!

//

Sfx- Whack

//

Kaiouji:

What!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sfx- Woosh

Defender:

Wah!

Sfx- Whack

//

Sfx- Wara Wara (Chatter Chatter)

Commentator:

Its Kakeru’s shot from outside the penalty box again!

SC continues to hold the fort with what it got!

This is an effective shot at goal making use of the free space, after backline has been dispersed!

//

Araki:

…

The strength of the left leg is better than the right! Although there is some weakness in his ball control …

Come to think of it, Suguru’s left leg is also better. (s) Even though the use of the right leg is already good… (s)

-------------------------------------------------------------

Page 6

Midfielder:

It’s a pity!

Makoto:

But isn’t it too rushed for Kakeru continue shooting from outside the penalty box?

//

Kakeru:

…

//

Iwaki:

If those two shots hadn’t been blocked, we would have scored. Now with this, how will SC react?

Seven:

That’s right.

//

Sfx- Wara Wara (Chatter Chatter)

//

Commentator:

This time it’s Araki!

30 … no wait, it should be at least 35 meters far, right?

What an unbelievable shot towards the goal!

------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 7

Commentator:

Concentrating on the space created when the goalkeeper rushed out …

The ball barely flew over the crossbar, yet creating another dangerous moment for SC!

Sfx- Roll Roll

//

Makoto:

Araki, we still have the time.

Don’t rush, take it slow.

Araki:

I’m not rushing.

//

Makoto:

…

//

Toudou:

Hu … that make me break out a cold sweat.

Oda:

Toudou, you’re too far out from the goal.

Toudou:

You’re right.

//

Oda:

Come out with a way to stop them! They are now likely to take a shot from any directions.

Opposition Defenders:

Yes!

//

Kondou:

…

?

Iwaki:

…

Seven:

Okay!

Sfx- Clenched

//

Iwaki:

It is not a surprise that she is a genius. The given nickname, ‘Little Witch’, is for real.

She is able to anticipate the actions from both of them, even though she’s outside of the pitch.

//

Iwaki:

With the remaining 12 minutes, the conditions have begun to ripen.

Seven:

That is right! Kakeru will never let us down.

I believe in him.

//

Sfx- Whack

//

Commentator:

It happened again! It’s another of Kakeru’s mid- range shots!

But the shot is a bit low and it was saved by the goalkeeper.

FC’s every actions might have already been seen through.

Sfx- Block

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 9

Commentator:

The ball has already been passed to the right side to Teshigawara by Sawamura!

//

Commentator:

It seems that there is a hole in the left side of FC’s defense …

Kouta:

Stop rubbishing on holes on the left side, you damn commentator! (s) The one with holes is you! (s)

Sfx- Dash

Sfx- Bam

Makoto:

All right!

//

Seven:

Nice cover, Kouta!

Iwaki:

The present team is able to use fast attacks and the counter attack’s timings are quick too.

Mako.

Makoto:

Kakeru, don’t rush into it.

Now it is within Araki’s long shooting range!

Don’t let him shoot it!

Sawamura:

Damn it!

Sfx- Dash

//

Araki:

I saw it!

//

Iwaki:

To prepare for this, they start off with taking mid-range shots. This prompted the defenders to move forward.

Being afraid of the long distance shots, the goalkeeper froze at the goal post.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 13

Iwaki:

Thus, this creates a huge space in between them.

Da-Bump!

It is time for the scoring king to take the stage.

The main strength of FC, Number 10!

Araki Ryuuichi has arrived!

Can Araki become FC’s savior in this hard fought match?

He has become slimmer!

Yah … a slimmer Araki is not that bad looking!

Sfx- Wara

Seven:

Coach Iwaki, are you aware of this?

Iwaki:

Yes. A fortnight ago, he came and looks for me to discuss about it.

Sfx- Drag

Araki:

Please!

Allow me to return to FC!

Iwaki:

No, that impossible!

Huh? That’s a quick reply!

Don’t tell me that you haven’t realized that with that size of yours, you can still play football?

Please go on a diet.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Iwaki:

There is at least 2 weeks away from the match. If you can trim your fats to the ideal weight,

I will let you into the team.

//

Iwaki:

I was surprised that he even skipped school to train himself.

//

Iwaki:

To be honest, I was shocked.

//

Iwaki:

I figured that he would resort to food abstinence to get rid of the fats,

And engaged in running and gym exercise to train.

//

Iwaki:

He not only perfectly got rid of the extra lump of flesh,

he also managed to strengthen his muscles.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 5

Seven:

But this is too forceful. It is only 2 weeks. He wouldn’t even last half a match with it.

//

Iwaki:

That is why I allowed him to wait at the spectator stand until the last 20 minutes.

Seven:

Huh? But why must it be at the spectator stand?

//

Iwaki:

If everyone would to see him on the bench,

Wouldn’t everyone be expecting to depend on him?

‘We have to depend on ourselves to win this match!’

That is the impression that I want them to have.

You’re too late, Araki.

We’re already 2 goals ahead. It is more or less settled.

That happens when I wasn’t around right?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yuuji:

You’re only one addition into the team. Does it even matter?

You should have already experienced this last year.

Araki:

What happened, Sawamura- san? Doesn’t SC disallow a player to stick with the ball for more than 5 seconds?

//
Yuuji:

…

Damn this fellow doesn’t change at all …!

Even if I want to pass, there isn’t any space to allow me to do it.

Seven:

…

It’s amazing!

//

Seven:

A good footballer will take into consideration the match process

And the opponent’s psychology before deciding whether to make a move.

//

Seven:

Sawamura’s mentality is that once his team has a 2 goals advantage, he would strengthen his defence.

But Araki- sempai had already knew that and expected Sawamura to pass the ball to the back rather than the front when he realized that no way to do it.

//

Seven:

That why he pressured him and managed to intercept the ball by taking the opportunity.

This comes as a no surprise to why Kakeru holds him with high regards.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We still have chance to use the trap ball.

What? Don’t tell me, you’re serious?

Is he really going to try it?

Even though we can’t, we still need to test it out!

Hino:

Understood!

Sfx- Dash

Kakeru:

Have Oda- sempai noticed the weakness that Seven once mentioned?

If it’s true, the chances will drastically reduce. I must think of a way to get a goal.

Because Araki- sempai is a genius recognized by Nii-san!

All right, it’s an offside!

Too bad, it is already offside.

Araki:

With this, our difference is reduced by one. Oda!

Oda:

What?

Commentator:

FC scored! It’s 3-2 now!

Sfx- Peeeep

//

Commentator:

What … What the referee actually ruled it to be a goal instead of an offside?

Oda:

!

//

Commentator:

FC has scored their second goal!

//

Todou:

Wait … Wait a minute, no matter how you looked at the goal just now. It has got to be offside.

That number 9 got pass our backline and Araki pass the ball over!

Referee:

It’s too bad. There wasn’t an offside.

Therefore, the goal will stand.

Commentator:

How could this have …

Commentator:

They got a goal!

Text on Sign: Enoshima Community Field

Chapter Title: #27 Kickoff!

Bubble: Alright! Get ready, everybody!

Bubble: Turn on the lights!

All the Sfx: Pak Pak Pak

Page 2

Bubble: Whoa!

Bubble: It’s a real field!

Bubble: It feels great!

Sfx: Whump

Sfx: Slide

Bubble: How’s it, Kakeru, Kaoru?

Bubble: Football really should be played on fields like this, yeah?

Bubble: Yeah.

Bubble: Do you guys come here often?

Page 3

Bubble: We borrow this once in a while, too often and we’d run out of cash.

Bubble: Although it’s a little dark, using a white ball should be good enough.

Iwaki: That’s not all.

Kakeru: Coach Iwaki.

Iwaki: Saturday’s game

Iwaki: Will be played on this field.

Kakeru: Really?

Bubble: Nice one, coach! It’ll make this field seem like its our home field, right?

Iwaki: Of course we’ve got to make the game seem to our advantage,

Iwaki: We haven’t got people to substitute in like they do.

Iwaki: Alright, let’s warmup!

Page 4

Sfx: Whoosh

Kakeru: Amazing… Coach is so strong…

Bubble: Kakeru.

Kakeru: Eh?

Bubble: Mishima’s not coming today?

Sfx: Thump

Kakeru: No idea, maybe coach didn’t call her since it’s so late.

Iwaki: Listen to me while you warmup, guys.

Iwaki: We’ll be using half the pitch to do a 6-on-6 game as training today.

Bubble: Coach’ll be the goalkeeper like always?

Iwaki: Nah, I’ll let Mikami play, he played as keeper for the National.

Page 5

Bubble: Eh?

Bubble: Then wouldn’t that be 5-on-5?

Bubble: Araki left long ago.

Kakeru thinking: Araki-senpai…

Kakeru thinking: What’s wrong with you?

Kakeru thinking: I went to your house, but they said you hadn’t been home. And you haven’t been to school for two weeks…

Kakeru thinking: He really wouldn’t do what his mother said he would

Kakeru: And run off to the southern islands to play, right?

Iwaki: Relax! We’ve got a special guest tonight.

Bubble: Special guest?

Iwaki: You can come out now!

Sfx: Tap

Sfx: Roooooll

Bubble: Whoa! That’s some skill.

Kakeru: !

Page 6

Iwaki: Tonight’s special guest is the mysterious soccer player “Alien Mask”!

Sfx: [It’s literally… Cho-n, but I have no idea what that is or means, please ask someone who knows to fill this in. Sorry]

Sfx: Bonk

Bubble: Wah!

Seven: …

Kakeru: …Seven?

Bubble: Kakeru, you okay?

Bubble: Who’s this guy? You’re not here to trick us, right?

Sfx: Gui Gui Gui Gui Gui [I know it’s weird, but think those cute anime sounds when people do funny actions. Yeah]

Bubble: Ah, you jerk…

Iwaki: Then, let’s kickoff!

Iwaki: Red team’s with the bibs.

Page 7

Seven: We haven’t played together since elementary school, right?

Kakeru: …

Sfx: Tap

Sfx: T-Tap

Bubble: Bastard!

Sfx: Dash

Bubble: !

Sfx: Zuup

Page 8

Sfx: Whoosh

Bubble: Nice work, Alien!

Kakeru thinking: Seven really is quite good.

Kakeru thinking: She seems to be getting stronger.

Kakeru: I’m going to do better too!

Sfx: [Again, help needed here.]

Kakeru: !

Kakeru thinking: That sign is…

Kakeru: Hono-san, to the left, please!

Hono: Oh!

Bubble: Useless, useless, useless!

Bubble: My marking is pretty tight!

Page 9

Kakeru thinking: Horikawa-san isn’t too easy to shake off.

Kakeru thinking: But…

Hono: Kakeru! Watch the offside!

Sfx: Dash

Horikawa: How, Kakeru…

Horikawa: If you receive the ball here, you will be offside!

Page 10

Hono: Alien! Here!

Sfx: Shuffle

Hono: Hurry! Hurry!

Sfx: Dash

Horikawa: !

Page 11

Sfx: Whump

Horikawa: It’s already offside!

Horikawa: So obvious!

Seven: …

Iwaki: I see…

Page 12

Sfx: Fweet

Sfx: Roll Roll

Iwaki: Red Team Scores!

Page 13

Horikawa: Damnit! So that was what it was about!

Horikawa: Damnit! Damnit! Damnit!

Sfx: Kick

Sfx: Kick

Bubble: Oi, oi… What was that just now?

Bubble: How can they work together so well? Who on earth is that Alien? [Haha, sorry, couldn’t resist.]

Bubble: …

Sfx: Slap

Seven: So you still remember that sign.

Kakeru: Because we practiced it loads during elementary school.

Seven: This was Suguru’s idea.

Kakeru: Yeah.

Page 14

Bubble: Coach Iwaki, that ball…

Iwaki: Yep! A really interesting idea, no?

Iwaki: This’ll probably work once against the technique-based SC.

Bubble: But the problem is…

Bubble: Can we find a player who can accurately grasp such slim opportunities?

Bubble: Does our FC have that?

Bubble: That Alien really can’t play for us?

Iwaki: It’s a shame, but that’s okay!

Iwaki: Enoshima FC has a fantastic, dependable King, don’t we?

Iwaki: He might still be in his castle, but one day, the King will return to us.

Bubble: …

Thinking: Araki…

Page 15

Sfx: Thump

Thinking: I am waiting for you…

Thinking: All of us…

Thinking: Believe in you!

Thinking: All of us await… the return of the King of the pitch.

Page 16

Text: The fateful day of the match between the SC and FC has come.

Text: For these two weeks, Araki-senpai didn’t go to school and didn’t come for practice.

Text: We don’t have substitutes, a team of 11 members…

Text: Going up against the 52 strong and school-recognized SC.

[cut to next panel, because cutting the above two lines would be queer.]

Bubble: Your guidance please.

Bubble: Left! Move back some more!

Iwaki: Coach Kondou.

Page 17

Iwaki: Looks like we’re going to have to trouble you to play us again this year.

Kondou: You really think that way? Deep down, you really want to see me flustered and lose my cool.

Iwaki: Yes, I do.

Kondou: …

Kondou: Even if anything pops up, we will not lose.

Kondou: We will definitely not lose.

Iwaki: …

Sfx: Wa

Sfx: Wa

Bubble: FC, you guys do your best this year, yeah? I’ll cheer you guys on!

Bubble: SC, don’t struggle against a simple hobby club! Crush them!

Page 18

Commentator: Yes… For the Nationals selection match,

Commentator: The school-recognized SC and the hobby club FC

Commentator: Have a traditional match every year to decide the school representative team.

Commentator: The happenings of this match will be recorded by the members of Enoshima High Broadcasting club,

Commentator: And played to the school on Monday.

Bubble: Fudou! Back some more!

Bubble: Nakamura! No holes on the left side!

Page 19

Commentator: I will now introduce the starting players from both sides.

Commentator: Starting with the SC,

Commentator: Goalkeeper,

Commentator: 2nd year, Toudou Shintarou.

Commentator: Left Defender,

Commentator: 1st year Fudou Kenji.

Commentator: The middle is Kaiouji Gou, 2nd year

Commentator: And the right is Wakamura Shigeru. The defense is composed of three 2nd years.

Commentator: Because the midfielders up front actually also participate in the defence,

Commentator: In reality, their defence is five men strategy.

Commentator: Playing as the defensive midfielder is 2nd year Sakamoto Shuuji.

Commentator: Also a 2nd year is the centre of the team, number 10, Oda Ryouma.

Page 20

Commentator: Attacking midfield, on the left, is 2nd year Nakamura Kazuma.

Commentator: Also attacking midfield, we have 3rd year Captain Sawamura Yuuji.

Commentator: 1st year Yakumo Kouji on the right.

Commentator: Lastly, the forwards are 1st year Takase Michirou

Commentator: And 2nd year Kudou Kenya.

Commentator: Their opponents are the members of the FC.

Commentator: Goalkeeper 2nd year…Um… Kurin? No… Be… Benibayashi?

Commentator: Ah! Kurebayashi, right? My apologies.

Kurebayashi: …

Commentator: It is Kurebayashi!

Page 21

Commentator: Let me quickly introduce them, starting from the defense.

Commentator: 3rd year Mikami,

Mikami: …

Commentator: Horikawa on the middle,

Horikawa: Only the surname…

Commentator: Right side, Nishikiori.

Nishigoori: It’s Nishigoori.

Commentator: Defensive midfield, Sakurai.

Commentator: And Hama.

Commentator: In the 2nd row, we have Hyoudou

Commentator: Endou,

Commentator: And Matoba.

Commentator: Lastly, the strikers,

Commentator: Hono,

Commentator: And 1st year Aizawa.

Kakeru: Why are our introductions so short?

[T/N: If they were longer, I’d throw up on you.]

Hyoudou: Can’t be helped, we’re a hobby club after all.

Page 22

Hyoudou: But that’ll all change,

Hyoudou: S’long as we win this match!

Kakeru: Yeah!

Commentator: Alright…

Sfx: Fweet

Commentator: The whistle is blown.

Commentator: Kickoff!

Commentator:

Enoshima High’s Football Hobby Club to begin the offence!

It finally started!

Sfx- Peep

//

Sfx – Peeeeep

//

Commentator:

The ball has now been passed over to Midfielder (Centre), Number 8, Hyoudou Makoto.

//

Commentator:

According to the data I have at hand, it seems like the average SC’s height is 10cm taller than FC’s average.

How are they going to pit themselves against an opponent physically larger than themselves?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakeru:

…

Even though you are not here yet, Araki-sempai...

//

Kakeru:

You will definitely return to us if we are to win this match.

This means that we …

//

Kakeru:

We can’t afford to lose this match!

Sfx- Dash

Commentator:

Isn’t it too early for the strikers to make a move?

Number 9, First year, Aizawa makes a forwards dash towards the right!

//

Kouta:

…

//

Kouta:

Kakeru …

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commentator:

SC’s Number 4, Left Back, Fudou- san

And Number 5, Defensive Midfielder, Sakamoto Shuuji, whose height is around 183 cm, surges forwards to defend.

//

//

Oda:

Don’t allow them to pass the ball to Number 9! Force him to the side!

//

Commentator:

The FC captain for this match, Midfielder Hyoudou Makoto,

Is slowly dribbling the ball and waiting for an opportunity to pass it.

Makoto:

…

//

Makoto:

!

Sfx- Slide

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Makoto:

Whoa!

//

Yuuji:

Aren’t you a striker, Hyoudou- san? Hasn’t Araki returned?

Makoto:

There is no need for your concern, Sawamura- san. Even without him …

//

Makoto:

!
//

Makoto:

Our firepower …

//

Makoto:

Has risen from last year!

Sfx- Wham

//

Sfx- Slash

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakeru:

!

Sfx- Twist

//

Shuuji:

Damn …

//

Shuuji:

Fudou, pay attention to the passing route!

Fudou:

Yes!

//

//
Kakeru:

…

//

Commentator:

The two defensive players have enforced their defence

and have intercepted the ball that was intended for Aizawa...

Sfx- Bam

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sfx- Po-n

//

Commentator:

Number 7, Midfielder Centre, Matoba,

Uses his legs to divert the direction of the pass!

The next person to collect the ball is …

//

Commentator:

Number 11, the speedy forward, Hino Junpei!

Hino:

For now it is the same as the training, isn’t it Coach?

//

Iwaki:

That’s right! Kakeru’s actions alerted the defenders and he pulled them to his side with the intention of having the defenders guard him.

This would mean that Hino will be able to attack from the weaker side of the defence.

//

Iwaki:

But the real problem starts from here.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Iwaki:

The fact is that SC …

Had left 189cm Takase behind.

//

Iwaki:

The rest of the 9 players are being lured into our half.

Under these conditions, it is not easy to break apart their defence and scored a goal.

//

Iwaki:

If only our left side had another attacker …

//

Iwaki:

Despite the fact that we already playing with FC’s most mobile player, Hino, …

Seven:

That’s right …

//

Iwaki:

At least, there is a slim chance.

We can open up a path as long as we hold them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hino:

Damn! That’s quick!

Sfx- Hah

//

Commentator:

Can Hino- san break into their defence?

It will be a chance for them to shoot if they can break through!

//

Sfx- Pause

//

Hino:

It’s up to you, Makoto!

Sfx-Whack

//

Commentator:

Nobody expect that he would pass the ball!

Sfx-Bam

------------------------------------------------------------------

Commentator:

Hyoudou brought the ball forwards

After receiving it.

But SC's defenders have already returned to defend.

The defence has strengthened!

//

Makoto:

…

!

//

Makoto:

Here it goes!

Sfx-Bam

//

Commentator:

The high pass, which was meant for heading, flew past.

Too bad nobody had paid attention to it!

… No wait, someone is on their way there!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commentator:

It’s Aizawa!

He is the only one that noticed the pass!

//

Seven:

Kakeru!

//

Kouta:

All right!

//

Makoto:

That is his inborn acute football sense.

It would become our trump card!

---------------------------------------------------

Kakeru:

Let it in!

//

Kakeru:

Hah!

//

Kakeru:

!?

Sfx-Wham

//

Kakeru:

How can it …

------------------------------------------------

Gou:

He’s tall! It’s Number 2, Defender Centre, Kaiouji Gou!

He headed the ball away before it could reach the striker!
//

Gou:

You’re too naïve, first year brat!

//

Kakeru:

I thought nobody was back here to defend it …

//

Iwaki:

Watch out!

Seven:

Huh?

//

Sfx-Bam

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakeru:

Oh no! The defence will be breached!

//

//

Commentator:

It's SC’s captain!

Number 10, Defender Centre, Oda Ryouma …

Kicks and sends the ball far!

Sfx-Charge
//

Commentator:

… No! This is …

//

Makoto:

Watch out!

//

Commentator:

It isn’t a clearance! It’s a long pass!

It is sent from the white team’s penalty area to Takase- san.

It is like an accurate pass sent in by a statistical machine!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Seven:

He’s incredible.

He is able to grasp Takase’s positioning and send in a amazing pass from that position within an instant.

Iwaki:

Oda is the team’s pillar of strength!

//

Iwaki:

If he wasn’t there to seize the opportunity at that moment and make the right decision,

This team strategy would never work out.

//

Takase:

Nice ball, Oda- sempai!

//

Commentator:

But FC has many defenders there to mark Takase!

Who will be able to control this air battle?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FC defenders:

Don’t think it will go your way!

//

Seven:

All right, we saved the ball!

//

FC defenders:

!?

Sfx-Rise

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Takase:

Here we go!

Sfx-Whack

//

Seven:

It’s Takase. He's using his intimidating height to gain control of the air battle.
//

Commentator:

He passed the ball to Number 6, Right Wing, Sakurai- san.

He’s fast. He has already abandoned his marker!

//

Commentator:

But FC’s Mikami- san closes in …

//

Commentator:

Even as Sakurai- san is forced into a corner, he still sends in a cross!

Sfx-Wham

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commentator:

It’s Takase again!

… No it isn’t him, he’s just the bait.

Sfx-Whack

//

Commentator:

It is sent to Kudou, who is in front of the goal!

//

Kudou:

Go in!

Commentator:

The Goalkeeper Kurebayashi barely blocks it!

Sfx-Wham (Kudou)

Sfx- Bam (Kurebayashi)

//

Commentator:

The ball mercilessly rolls towards the goal!

Just barely after 6 minutes, it looks like SC is taking the lead …

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakeru:

…

Sfx- Wham

//

Commentator:

It’s blocked! He blocked it!

Just when SC is about to gain a point, the forward Aizawa ran back

And blocked the shot with just a hair's breadth to go!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Kurebayashi:

Nice … Nice block!

//

Kakeru:

Pant …

Pant …

With this, I guessed it would be time for us to throw the ball into the sea to restart.

//

Flashback:

Nice one, Mako! Change sides!

//

Kurebayashi:

That’s right! It will be our turn to attack!

Kakeru:

Yeah!

//

Takase:

…

This person …

//

Kouta:

Kakeru …

You’re really …

//

Iwaki:

Okay!

Seven:

Having no preference on the attacking position, the attacks from the shoreline up to the goal, the exchanges of attacks of the entire football field …

//

Seven:

And during the time at the beach, he cut down on his fear of getting hurt and built up his confidence while attacking aggressively …

Kakeru’s miracle save is the combination of both the results from playing beach football and some gutsy displays.

Flashback (Kakeru):

What?

Sfx- Dive

Sfx- Impact

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakeru:

You should be watching this match, Araki- sempai!

You're amongst the spectators watching us ...

//

Kakeru:

We shall win this for you! We will use Coach Iwaki’s ‘Happy Football’ and win it!

We will make Araki-sempai feel the urge to play football again!

//

Araki:

…

Seven:

---------------------------

//

Kakeru:

4… 4-0 …

Seven:

To think that the fourth goal happened just right after they substituted four players when they're three goals up...

//

Kakeru:

Whether in terms of techniques, ball control or others, Kaihin is in a better position.

Nobody would expect the score to turn out like this.

Araki:

Do you get it now, Mr. Genius's brother?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Araki:

!

Kakeru:

Araki- sempai!

Sfx- munch munch

Seven:

What are you doing here?

(s)Eating all these high calorie food(s)

Araki:

Er … I heard that Kaihin High’s manager is busty.

//

Kakeru:

Haha, you say that but in reality she's probably...

Araki:

It is her!

//

Araki:

Ah- there's the manager.

Kakeru:

What?

Yea-h that's a nice bust. (s)I might as well aim for that size!(s)

Kakeru:

…

//

Seven:

What do you mean by "What!"? I can't believe you looked.

Kakeru:

Wait- I didn't mean-

Sfx – *Pot* (An awkward situation)

//

Kakeru:

That’s enough! You are here because you are concerned of the match between SC and FC?

That explains why you are here to observe the match, right?

Seven:

…

//

Seven:

Why are you stubborn? You could have just returned.

//

Araki:

Return to the team that is unable to play official matches?

Do you really want me to continue playing beach football for the next 3 years?

Kakeru:

Why don’t you get it?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Araki:

I understood it.

//

Araki:

Just by watching this match, it reaffirms my beliefs.

What Coach Iwaki mentioned is just an ideal.

//

Araki:

I was also led here by his ideals to play in that team and enrol at Enoshima High.

In the end, I wasn’t even able to play one single match for an entire year.

//

Kakeru:

…

Araki:

If I can't play how I want to, it would be like the team having their hands tied behind their backs. This way I can't play to the best of my ability.

//

Araki:

The national tournament selections, the preliminaries, the Kanagawa League…

I couldn’t even make it to the bench. It is frustrating to watch from the sidelines.

------------------------------------------------------------

Araki:

What is it really for...

I …

//

Kakeru:

…

//

Araki:

If it is a football game that doesn't involve competition, wouldn't it be good if we all finish within a year?

That is why I decided to retire before the summer vacation.

//

Seven:

What …how could you have got this fat in just 2 weeks?

Background (Seven):

How’s that possible!

Araki:

Don’t tell me that this is what’s bothering you?

Kakeru:

…

Sfx – Shock

//

Araki:

Furthermore … about Kondou oji- san’s method,

Seven:

You must be eating too much of those high calorie foods.

Araki:

Don’t meddle in my affairs.

Araki:

He must have his reasons.

Sfx- Rustle Rustle

------------------------------------------------------------------

Araki:

It is nearly impossible for Enoshima High to attract those superstars,

when our standards are only at the district level.

Kakeru:

…

Araki:

The best way to form a winning team that has differences in football standards would be to select the players using physical attributes.

//

Araki:

To tell you the truth, this year's SC is a more complete team compared to last year.

Even if it is just those newly enrolled first years, they began their training December last year after they had received their enrolment confirmation.

//

Araki:

That coach really has the ambition to make sure that Enoshima High wins the nationals.

And the purpose of that team is to fulfill that ambition. That is what I learnt after experiencing it myself.

//

Seven:

What was the match about?

//

Araki:

…

It is the same as Kaihin High’s match today …

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Araki:

In the first half, FC was dominating the match.

//

Araki:

We used a combination of dribbles and short passes to fool SC.

//

Araki:

We had a lot of chances.

But we are unable to convert them. In the end, we were made to pay in the second half.

//

Mako:

It feels that we could win this one.

Araki:

We should score one during the second half.

//

Oda:

…

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Araki:

Fatigue has taken its toll in the second half and there were lapses.

//

Commentator:

Corner!

Araki:

Then it suddenly happened...

//

//

Araki:

The chain of events that led us to believe in the effectiveness of player selection based on physical attributes.

(T/L note: Okay this part is tricky, literal translation would mean ‘It lead us to witness the difference in physical attributes’. However I strongly believe that this part of the speech means the effectiveness of the selection test is being witnessed here.)

//

Araki:

A goal that will cause one to be speechless...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Araki:

The end result is devastating.

//
Araki:

They shored up their defence. Even if we try to attack, we are met with resistance and the ball in our possession will just be stolen away.

Just like Kaihin High, we got ourselves into a state of despair.

In the end, the final result is 4-1. We don’t even have the right to laugh at Kaihin.

//

Commentator:

5 -0, Enoshima High wins.

Sfx- Peep Peeeep Peeeep

//

//

------------------------------------------------------------------

Araki:

…

It is just like what Suguru has said.

//

Araki:

I am just a frog in the well that doesn’t know the outside world,

a person, who doesn’t know his limits.

Kakeru:

Who was the one that scored the only goal?

Hah?

//

Kakeru:

It was 4-1 right? Who was the one that scored the solitary goal and how did he do it?

Araki:

…
//

Araki:

It was me. During the dying minutes, I took a shot from the middle of the field and scored.

Kakeru:

You hadn't really given up on it, had you!

//

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakeru:

Aren't you still thinking of scoring even just before the final whistle is blown?

//

Kakeru:

Why did you choose to quit now?

Araki:

…

//

Kakeru:

It feels like I am lecturing you. But in fact, I did …

//

Kakeru:

Think of quitting soccer once.

Background (Kakeru):

I wish to retire from the soccer club.

//

Kakeru:

But it feels great that I didn’t have to quit soccer.

That is why Araki- sempai should …
Araki:

Please do not assume that you understand everything.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakeru:

…

Araki:

I am very confident of my passes.

I am also proud to admit that my passes wouldn’t lose to Suguru.

//

Araki:

But what happens afterwards?

We were left helpless after being undone by them.

Not even a single pass could breach their defence.

//

Araki:

I spent 60 minutes in both the first and second halves,

Trying to come up with a pass that could break through their defence.

But I couldn't come up with any solutions no matter what I did.

//

Kakeru:

If we can’t find the answer, why not create one of our own?

Araki:

What?

//

Kakeru:

It might be possible if the both of us could create it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakeru:

A pass that could puncture a hole in their iron defence within a moment of a second!

A phantom pass route!

//

Seven:

…

//

Araki:

…

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Araki:

Did you see my pass earlier?

//

Araki:

That is one of my specialties! You shouldn’t have that much of it either. It is rare even to discover that passing route.

Suguru:

I admit that you’re good.

//

Araki:

He he …

//

Suguru:

But,

I know of an even rarer passing route.

//
Araki:

Huh? What is it about?

Suguru:

It is a passing route that couldn’t be done by one person alone.

//

Suguru:

It can only be created by 2 people.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Araki:

…

Kakeru:

It feels that I am acting cool, right? But I am really serious about it.

//

Kakeru:

I am seriously aiming at the Nationals as my target.

That is why …

Sfx- Turn

//

Kakeru:

Hah! Araki- sempai, listen to me! About Nii-san’s diary …

Seven:

Kakeru!

//

//

Seven:

It’s okay. I am sure that Kakeru’s feelings are …

Able to be transmitted to him.

//

Sfx- Clunk

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Seven:

It is all up to him to determine his own path.

//

Kakeru:

…

True.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Mako:

Coach, have you seen both Kakeru and Nana?

//

Iwaki:

They informed me that SC is having a practice match with Kaihin High.

They even told me that they want to watch it. That is why I gave them the permission to do so.

Mako:

Huh? Why did you agree to that?

It would have the opposite effect if they are scared witless after watching that match!

//

Iwaki:

That shouldn’t be a problem, Mako.

I went to take a peek at the match and saw a familiar person there as well.

//

Araki:

Coach Iwaki!

//

//

Araki:

I have something that I want to discuss with you.

Is it possible?

--------------------------------------------------

//

Iwaki:

Of course.

//

//

Younger Sister!

Mom!

The fried dumplings are charred! I want a new one …

Mom:

You’re making such a big fuss. It doesn’t matter that much in that condition.

//

Kakeru:

…

Younger sister:

I am a gourmet.

Mom:

You could finish the fillings and then throw away the wrapping.

Kakeru:

I know that it is up to Araki- sempai to choose …

Sfx- Stir Stir

//

Kakeru:

But I can’t seem to keep my cool.

Sfx- Clunk

Sfx- Sparkle

//

Mom:

Kakeru, where are you going? You haven’t finished your dinner.

Younger Sister:

Good chance!

Sfx- Quick Swap

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakeru:

Huh?

Araki- sempai isn’t in?

//

Phonecall speaker:

That’s right! That foolish son of mine

was busy packing his stuff after returning from school.

He told me that he wouldn’t be back home for a period of time and not to worry about him.

He later vanished with his harvest pack without telling me of the location.

//

Kakeru:

Disappeared? Where could he have gone to?

Phonecall speaker:

I’ve no idea. He has a weird personality.

It shouldn’t have been like the last time …

//

Phonecall speaker:

Run off to the Southern Islands.

I can’t be bothered about him.

Kakeru:

Southern … Southern Islands?

Takase:

My name is Takase Michiro.

Please take care of me.

Kakeru:

Please take care of me too.

Seven:

…

Seven:

Is this guy for real? He is only in high school first year and yet his height nears around 190cm.

Takase:

Hoho.

Kakeru:

!

Takase:

Your face has a weird expression. Are tall people really that rare these days?

Kakeru:

Hah nope, there is no such basis. I apologized.

Takase:

…

Chapter 25: The greatest weapon.

----------------------------------------------------

Takase:

Speaking of the surname Aizawa, there is a very famous person going with that name.

Is his full name, Aizawa Suguru? He is supposed to die in a car accident.

Kakeru:

…

Takase:

The reason the television broadcasters televised the U15 match against the Brazilians live was because of him.

Although he is very much a genius in everyone’s perception, is that all there is about him?

Kakeru:

What do you mean by that?

Takase (In Kakeru’s face):

Does he really have the skills…

To justified the public’s perception of him being a genius?

Takase:

Looking at that same point, there are a lot of people with …

… his level of ability that are disappearing.

Kakeru:

…

Takase:

In long run, if we pitted

… our physical body against the bigger opponents, we are in the losing end

Seven:

Takase- kun

Takase:

!

---------------------------------------------------------

Seven:

Do you know Maradona?

Takase:

… Is your name, Mishima- san?

… isn’t it surprising to know that a manager like yourself you know of Maradona.

Seven:

He is originally from the famous Argentina club, Boca Juniors. He also plies his trade with Spain’s Barcelona and Italy’s Blackhorse, Napoli.

From the period between 1986 and 1987, he led Napoli to the championship twice.

In 1986 World Cup against the powerful England team, he clearly demonstrated his ability to dribble past 5 men. Subsequently, Argentina won the World Cup.

Kouta and Kakeru:

…

Takase:

…

Seven:

He is a footballing legend in football’s history.

Seven:

Diego Armando, Maradona …

… whose height is a mere 168cm.

Takase:

…

---------------------------------------------------

Seven:

Height isn’t everything there is in football.

And be that narrow- minded about football.

Kouta:

Cheers ~

Takase:

*Cold Stares at Kouta*

Takase:

Heh…

Takase:

As expected,

Aren’t you Aizawa Suguru’s younger brother?

Takase:

I suspected that in the place upon hearing your name.

Kakeru:

…

Takase:

In addition, I was able to conclude taking into account that you are such good friends with Kouta, from Kamakura Junior High.

Kakeru:

Looks like what Seven said earlier was true afterall.

There is no point in me hiding my identity any longer.

---------------------------------------------------

Takase:

I honesty have no idea on why would you want to the join the hobby club

If you want to continue playing football, you should …

Oda:

Takase!

Kakeru:

…

Takase:

Hah…

Seven, Kakeru, Kouta and Takase:

Oda- sempai!

Oda:

To each of his own. All you need to do is work harder from now in order to meet the coach Kondou's expectation.

Takase:

Erm…

Yes!

------------------------------------------------------------

Seven:

…

Oda?

Oda:

We will be having a friendly, remember to do your warm- up during the lunch break.

Takase! You are the starting forward.

Takase:

Thanks!

Oda:

Kouta, although you are not a regular yet, you will still have to put on your jersey.

Kouta:

Yes…

Kakeru:

…

Soccer Club’s Year 2 student.

Oda:

…

You are Aizawa Kakeru, right?

Kakeru:

Yeah, I am.

Oda:

If it is possible after school, do come and take a look at the Soccer Club’s match.

Oda:

That is all I have to say.

Seven and Kakeru:

…

Seven:

Kouta, who on earth is he?

Kouta:

Soccer Club’s Year 2 student, Oda- sempai.

He is the current Soccer Club numbered 10.

Seven:

…

Where will the Soccer Club holding their match at?

Takase:

…

-------------------------------------------------------------

This is Kaihin High.

They qualified for the district tournaments twice.

Kakeru:

You seem to be very clear of it.

Seven:

Of course, I am the manager.

Kakeru and Seven (looking at the players in the field):

They are already doing their warm up.

Player on field:

Hey!

Player with number 9 jersey:

Hey!

Background noises:

He’s good!

Kakeru:

What skillful footballing techniques…

The talents found here should be rarely witnessed in high school football.

Seven:

It is the same as Enoshima High Football Club.

Kakeru:

!!

This can’t be…

----------------------------------------------------------

After the Golden Week, the high school championship will begin.

Hence the match between Soccer Club and Football Club should start before late April.

I believe that this match would the simulation of what there is to come.

Kakeru:

…

Seven:

?

You seem awfully happy.

Kakeru:

This shows that they are serious right?

Even the coach, Kondou, recognizes FC’s threat,

That explains why they decided to hold this match. Even thinking of that would make one trembled with excitement, right?

Seven:

You are really enthusiastic about this!

Kakeru:

Of course!

Seven:

Hey, it looks like Enoshima High’s Soccer Club has arrived.

Arriving SC’s members:

With a look, one could tell that all the players here are respected regulars.

Oh, even Kouta is here. But he is just a mere baggage boy.

---------------------------------------------------

Players on the field (listening to instructions):

Return!

Defense, hurry back to your positions.

Scoreboard:

Enoshima 0

Kaihin 0

20 minutes have passed for the first half…

Players passing ball:

At the moment, both are evenly matched.

Seven:

As long as we do not underestimate over opponents, as long as we do not make any major mistakes. That is football.

In the World Cup held in Germany, when Japan played against the mighty Brazilians. Both teams are evenly matched and wouldn’t let their guards down for a minute.

In the end, it was Japan that got the first goal.

Kakeru:

And then, that means…

--------------------------------------------------------------

Seven:

In this match, the opponent, Kaihin High, will be under distress by the second half.

Kakeru:

Huh?

Seven:

All you have to do is to look at it carefully.

Seven explaining (Opposing player jersey 10 in the backdrop):

In reality, it looked as if Kaihin High is dribbling past their opponents.

Seven explaining:

They are using short passes to connect their attack.

It looks as though they are creating chances.

Seven explaining (Defenders in backdrop):

However, the attacks are countercheck by the two Enoshima High’s SC lanky central defenders.

Hence, they are unable to create a decisive chance.

Seven explaining (player jersey 3 passing with a lob):

This is in fact happening…

However, Soccer Club’s style of attack is relying on long and high passes once they received the ball.

-----------------------------------------------------

Player heading the ball:

The player will connect the header to his team mate, who is just waiting by the side.

Players in Jersey 4 and 9 (Making their moves):

The player makes a quick dash to the penalty area,

… displaying a typical textbook type of move.

However this type of attack will lose it effectiveness once figured out.

Seven:

Even though this move is easily figured out, it still doesn’t mean that the attack amounts to nothing.

The use of physical advantage in this situation poses the most danger and makes the difference.

Kakeru:

Okay…

Seven (further explaining the technique):

In order to receive a high ball and pass it to a teammate within a split second,

… a player with height advantage is needed to do it using a header.

----------------------------------------------------------

Facing off against a 190cm tall giant, any technique used is useless.

This is the ‘weapon' that one is born with.

Guy in Jersey 6:

The high ball has been passed onto the right.

Our chance has arrived.

------------------------------------------------------------

Player Jersey 6 dashing:

Damn it!

Enoshima High SC attacking:

Close in on him. Don’t let him have any opportunity to attack.

Striker (Jesery 14):

The ball is in midair.

-------------------------------------------------------

Takase:

Hahhhhhh!

-----------------------------------------------------

Goalkeeper and defenders:

…

Takase:

*Walks away from goal line*

Oda:

…

Kakeru:

It went in!

Seven:

1-0. That should conclude it for the first half.

Takase and Oda:

*High fives*

Coach:

There would be a 10 minutes break. There wouldn’t be any injury time during the second half either.

---------------------------------------------------

Kakeru:

…

Seven:

I feel that the way that the Soccer Club’s playing style is simple, but…

Seven explaining further (SC players resting as backdrop):

Even though it is simple but, the players aren’t tired.

On the contrary, Kaihin High, who has been relying on dribbling and passing,

Seven explaining (Opposing team resting as backdrop):

As long as the ball is tackled away,

… the team will try their hardest to retrieved it and further press on with their attacks.

Hence, their energies are totally sapped.

Seven explaining (Kakeru’s face as backdrop):

That is why I would say that the second half would be more frightening.

Kakeru:

…

-------------------------------------------------

Scoreboard:

Enoshima High 1

Kaihin High 0

The second half begins!

Opposing team:

…

Kakeru:

They are trying to delay the game play just after scoring one goal.

Seven:

No matter if it is 5-0 or 1-0, a win is still a win.

It is the same as long as the opponent doesn’t scores.

---------------------------------------------------------

Kakeru:

But isn’t there a saying suggesting that by attacking alone would be the best defense?

Seven:

That is correct…

However in football sense,

It may also be true to the opposite.

Kakeru (in response):

Opposite?

Opposing player jersey 10:

Damn!

Kakeru (Chibi mode):

Alright! Kaikin High is through!

Opposing team (yelling in together):

Move forward!

We must recoup the one goal deficit!

Enoshima High SC players (charging down on opponent):

!

Opposing team player:

Damn, the ball has been stolen!

---------------------------------------------------

Player with Jersey 2:

Oda!

Opposing player jersey 10

Damn it!

Kakeru:

Huh?

Oda did a lobbing pass?

Opposing players shouting to each other:

Back to Defense!

Seven:

After scoring the goal first,

… there also exist a possibility that they might lose even with a goal up, but…

-----------------------------------------------------

Takase:

Hah!

Kakeru:

Look at how high he could jump!

Seven:

By adding one more person into their attack,

… the opponent’s defense loophole would be exposed.

Enoshima High SC’s player (yelling to another):

Kouda- sempai!

Bald Guy:

Leave it to me!

Seven explaining (with the bald guy scoring as the backdrop):

The counter attack for the second goal happen just when the opponent were busy attacking.

Dealing a considerable amount of damage to their morale.

Opposing players:

2-0!

--------------------------------------------------------

Kakeru:

…

Seven:

In football sense,

Seven (In the backdrop of both the Specs Guy and Tall Guy):

Defense,

Seven (in Kakeru’s backdrop):

… can also become the greatest attack!

Kakeru:

…

----------------------------------------------------------

Tall Guy:

Stop doing that irritating action when you do not have your spectacles on!

--------------------------------------------------------

Seven:

…

Kakeru:

Chapter 24: Misunderstanding

Seven:

This is so disappointing! You guys are already that exhausted?

The sempais looked like they are good to go for another round!

//

Kakeru:

I can't believe it ... Even though they're already used to it ...

Seven:

Looked at you! I guess we will have to postpone tonight's training.

Kakeru:

I can't continue on ... But the first years have to tidy up afterward ...

--------------------------------------

Kakeru (getting cramps from standing up):

Ouch, it hurts!

Matoba:

Ouch Ouch

//

Mako:

Don't forced yourselves, first years! We will take care of the cleaning.

Kakeru:

But…

//

Mako:

In FC, we do not expect the first years to perform all the odd jobs.

You can take this time to rest.

//

Seven (following the guy with the flowerly pants):

I will help too!

Matoba:

Okay.

Kakeru:

…

//

Matoba:

It turns out to be an unexpectedly right thing that I failed the test.

Kakeru:

Kaoru ...

//

Matoba:

Frankly speaking when I failed the SC test, I've really no idea on what to do next.

The idea of doing my training with outside clubs has also across my mind ...

-------------------------------------------

Matoba:

It feels good to be here.

Kakeru:

Yeah...

//

//

Kakeru (placing his right hand to his chest):

You would also be thinking of the same thing, right Nii- san?

//

Kakeru (The panel bottom of the left page):

All we do now is to wait for Araki- sempai to return,

… then in that way, the team would be incredible.

Am I right, Nii- san?

-----------------------------------------------------

Kakeru (In the house having dinner):

I was tired because of that.

//

Kakeru:

But it was really fun out there!

Mother:

But as a precaution, you should exerted yourself too much.

Even though you have already recovered, you have to note that you're still on immunosuppressant medications.

//

Kakeru:

It shouldn't be a problem, Mom! You are just too overly- concerned.

The doctor advised that I should exercise more to build up my immunity system and prevent cold. That should have been good for the body!

Mom:

But…

//

Kakeru (looking at Suguru’s picture):

Furthermore, aren't we talking about Nii-san's heart here?

He wouldn't argue with me over this.

Mom:

Yeah, you are right.

//

Younger Sister:

That is if Kakeru nii-san does not do anything to make Suguru nii-san angry…

Kakeru:

Huh ... What do you mean by that, Mito?

//

Younger Sister:

Isn't it like the last time when you decided to peek into Suguru Nii- san's diary?

Mom:

What? Kakeru, you?

Kakeru:

Hmm ... It was because ...

It was then because of that, that I decided to enroll into Enoshima High.

-------------------------------------------

Younger Sister (talking to Kakeru):

Really?

Kakeru:

Nii- san's diary indicated that,

there is an awesome passer in Enoshima.

//

Younger Sister:

Is that person, Araki?

Kakeru:

What? It looks like you have already seen it, yourself.

But that’s right. it is indeed him. I have already met him but it seems like there is a little problem.

//

Younger Sister:

Yeah, I remember that Suguru nii-san wrote in his diary that Araki is a 'Naked Emperor'

(TL note: Naked Emperor as in the emperor from the fairy tale, 'The Emperor's new clothes'. It would mean that the person is proud and unwillingly to admit his/her mistakes.)

Kakeru:

Huh?

//

Kakeru (in Suguru’s room looking through the diary):

…

Younger Sister:

I'm right, ain't I?

//

Kakeru:

I didn't take note of the last page at the back ...

…

//

Suguru’s Diary:

I could still vividly remember the time when I met Araki at the Youth Soccer Representative squad ...

----------------------------------------------

Coach:

You're early, Suguru.

Suguru:

Good morning, Coach.

Today is the first time that I will be meeting my team mates.

//

Coach:

Another one came.

Suguru:

Huh?

//

- Araki juggling the ball with his feet

//

Suguru:

…

----------------------------------------------

- Shows Araki kicking the ball into the crossbar.

----------------------------------------------

- Araki practicing with the soccer ball

//

Suguru:

!

//

Coach:

Isn't that fellow interesting?

He is from Kanagawa Middle School and in the same grade as you are.

Suguru:

...

-------------------------------------------------

Coach:

Even though, he is not accepted by anyone is the team and unable to start in any matches,

His dexterity in ball control and passing

might even suppress yours... Hahaha

//

Coach:

Hey, Araki.

//

Araki:

!

//

Suguru:

…

------------------------------------------------

Araki:

!!

//

Coach:

Are you alright? Araki!

Suguru:

…

//

Araki:

Haha.

I am alright. I am not injured.

//

Suguru:

You are lying, aren't you?

//

Kakeru:

Heh… He is really an interesting person.

Younger Sister:

Looks more like an idiot to me!

-----------------------------------------------

Suguru:

I felt that Araki is a really skilled individual.

Though he isn't serious.

//

Suguru:

With his natural ability of imaginative and unique play,

//

Suguru:

He is able to grasp the opportunity and send in the passes at the most unexpected position with his keen sense of football.

It is an ability in which I myself do not have.

---------------------------------------------

Suguru:

His type is a perfect example for the definition for a dream player.

And his skills really astonish even me.

--------------------------------------------------

Suguru:

His pure passion for football attracts me.

With Kakeru and Araki ... I feel that we could one day play against stronger opposition in the world stage together.

//

Suguru:

It is because of his excessively independent actions that resulted in the fallout with the coach. He got cast out of the team practice.

I have always been concerned with Araki.

Kakeru:

…

//

Suguru:

What did you just say? You joined a hobby club?

(TL note: Prior to this chapter, due to many names given 'unofficial club' is universalized as 'hobby club' for the sake of consistency.)

Araki:

You’re right. It is a good chance.

//

Suguru:

Don’t be foolish! How could a person like you even able to adapt into their squad?

Araki:

I am not being foolish. Unlike you, I am not the type that likes to follow instructions.

//

Suguru:

With the current restrictions, the team would be having their hands tied behind their back. I can't play with my fullest potential like this.

That is why I ….

------------------------------------------------

Suguru:

You disappoint me, Araki.

Keeping yourself aloof from your club which can never go on and play a match

is just you being obstinate. You should be more..

//

Araki:

Stop your blabbering!

How the hell could a football genius like you even understand me?

//

Suguru:

It is true that I do not understand.

Araki:

What?

//

Suguru:

I don't want to understand a guy who choose to destroy himself because of his stubborn attitude.

And I don't want to understand.

//

Araki:

…

Araki:

Jerk!

-------------------------------------------------

Translation from the diary:

I am disappointed with Araki. Should I have known, I would prefer not to have met him.

//

Younger Sister:

I feel that this Araki is a really useless person. Is enrolling into Eroshima High a good idea?

Kakeru:

…

//

Younger Sister:

Kakeru nii-san.

Kakeru:

It is a misunderstanding.

Younger Sister:

Hah?

//

Kakeru:

Araki-sempai didn't choose Eroshima High just because joining a football club can let him play the football he most desires.

He must have gotten Coach Iwaki’s invitation.

However Nii- san feels that drawing on Araki’s stubbornness, they could have created a better football team.

//

Kakeru:

However, Nii- san did not know of this incident.

And he even go as far as to call Araki sempai stubborn.

Younger Sister:

…

------------------------------------------------------

Kakeru:

I am pretty sure that incident had shocked Araki- sempai.

Before this misunderstanding between the two gets resolved, Nii- san met up with an accident.

//

Araki:

That person looked down on me.

A person that is unmotivated, selfish and stubborn.

Kakeru:

How could he be?

//

Araki:

The main reason why I wouldn’t want to play football again is because of your older brother, Suguru.

//

Kakeru:

This cannot go on!

I have to convince him to pick up football again!

----------------------------------------------------------

Seven:

I see …

Kakeru:

Yups, that is why we should convinced him to rejoin FC. If he rejoins, we would have the chance to defeat SC.

Kouta:

That is impossible.

//

Seven:

Kouta!

Kakeru:

You say it is impossible? Oh by the way, how is your club entrance test coming to?

//

Kouta:

It is not easy but I managed to barely scrape across it.

Kakeru:

Is that so?

//

Kakeru:

Then in that case, I guess we could no longer play together since I have already join FC.

Kouta:

Are you sure that you are okay with it? You would never be able to appear in any tournaments for the next three years of your high school life.

//

Kakeru:

There should be a match before the tournament. If we win that match, we would be able to represent the school.

Kouta:

That itself is impossible.

--------------------------------------------------

Kouta:

I freaked out just looking at their tough training schedule. This is first time that I have encounter such a scary squad.

It isn't unusual for them not to win.

They're not a squad that can so easily compared to a club that only just managed the eleven people to form a team.

//

Kakeru and Seven:

…

//

Kouta:

It looks like I would likely spend the next three years of my high school life in the substitute bench.

Kakeru:

How can this be?

//

Kouta:

That can’t be wrong. Even the third years are all substitutes.

Kakeru:

What?

//

Kouta:

Those that are able to participate in matches are the first and second years that Coach Kondou brought in from unknown sources.

That is really too much…

--------------------------------------------------

Guy sleeping with face on the table:

If you are not satisfied, you can always win back the legitimate football position with your own strength!

Kouta, Seven and Kakeru:

!

//

Kouta:

Are you someone from our class?

Guy sleeping face down on the desk:

That is too much. In case you have not noticed, we are not just only from the same class but from the same club as well.

Let’s get along together, Nakatsuka- san.

//

Guy sleeping face down on the desk:

Are you Aizawa- san?

Kakeru:

Erm… yes?

//

Guy sleeping face down on the desk:

I heard you saying that you join the hobby club.

Kakeru and Seven:

!

Kakeru, Kouta and Seven:

…

Guy who sleeps on the desk facedown:

That means…

That you are my opponent.

//

Guy who sleeps on the desk facedown:

My name is Takase Michiro

Please take care of me.

Kakeru:

Whoa … Wah! (Or replaced it with any noises with indications that he is losing his balance)

Everyone:

What’s wrong, Aizawa- san? Your footworks are messy.

//

Kakeru:

Damn it …

Pant! X4

//

Mako:

Let it go in!

The Keeper:

That’s what you think!

//

The Keeper:

That’s better.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone:

!!

//

Kakeru:

Huh?

Mako:

Oh …

//

//

Everyone:

…

Striker:

Pant! X4

It went in …

//

Mako:

You did great, First- year!

Other teammates:

That a powerful strike!

Striker:

Wah …

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commentator:

The red team scores …

Player:

Damn!

Background:

Pant … x4

//

Kakeru:

It isn’t finished yet!

//

Araki:

…

//

Iwaki:

1 – 0 …

//

//

Iwaki:

…

//

Sempai:

First year, the first half is ending soon. We have to even up the score line. Let’s hurry …

Kakeru:

Yes … Hino- sempai!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakeru’s narrations:

This is too energy draining … (It means exhausting but I replaced it with energy draining since the direct translation would mean ‘it takes too much hardwork’ that doesn’t make sense in English here.)

//

Kakeru’s narrations:

Your feet are bounded by the sands … (It means that the sands are causing him to stumble here but rephrasing it in English sounds so wrong.)

It’s an uphill distance to run from the shoreline towards the goal …

//

Iwaki:

There is 3 minutes left to the first half …

Background:

In spite of that …

//

Kakeru’s narration:

Even if it is exhausting to the point of death … but …

I could just feel that I can continued playing on …

//

Teammate 13:

Junpei!

Teammate 2:

Okay!

//

Mako:

Harikawa! Mark Junpei! Do allow him to bring the ball any nearer to the goal!

Teammate:

Leave it to me!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Teammate 2:

Darn …

//

Teammate 2:

!

//

Teammate 2:

Give it a chase if you think you have what it takes!

//

Mako:

You’re doing it hasty without any much thought.

This is so unlikely of you in any bit, Junpei.

//

Mako:

This should be the cursed method by Coach Koudou …

//

Commentator:

What?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commentator:

A diving header!

//

//

The Keeper:

…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mako:

…

Kakeru:

I scored, didn’t I?

//

Mako:

Why you …

//

Eleven:

Kakeru, nice header!

//

Araki:

…

Commentator:

1 – 1! The first half has ended. We’re into the resting time!

//

//

Mako:

Nana, I want one too.

Eleven:

Got ya, Mako- sempai.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakeru:

… Hmm?

//

Eleven:

Are you still surviving, Kakeru?

Kakeru:

I’m overworked …

//

//

Mako:

Your legs are having cramps. Rest it before the second half starts.

Kakeru:

Hah … Yes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eleven:

This is so unsightly … Your sempais are playing vigorously. And yet, both of you first- years are at this condition.

Kakeru:

This can’t be help.

Eleven:

This is for you, Matoba.

Firstyear:

Hah, thank you!

//

Kakeru:

This is the first time we have undergo such tough training. I used to think that beach football is just child’s play.

Eleven:

Running on the sands is tiring. I believed this training would strengthen your leg’s power.

Background:

Revitalizes

//

Iwaki:

This is different from the school recognized Enoshima High SC,

Since we are unable to utilize the pitch, we will have to practice under different conditions.

//

First year:

Even though it is exhausting, nonetheless it is interesting.

Eleven:

Matoba- kun

//

First year:

It is because we are playing on the sand, we won’t hurt ourselves even when we fall. Once we are used to it, we would begin to move, jump …

We also learn doing overhead kicks during our elementary days …

//

Eleven:

I feel that this is Coach Iwaki’s final purpose.

Kakeru and First year:

Huh?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eleven:

The coach did mention it earlier that modern Japanese youths’ level of skill standards is pretty high. But once they hit middle school, it dropped drastically, resulting in dropping out of the Worlds.

There is one saying though, that is soil of the field, in which the school clubs did their training on.

//

Kakeru:

How’s that so?

Eleven:

Hmm.

//

Eleven’s explanation:

In the process of growing up, we will tend to panic when attempting to perform a few daring movements on a hard surface.

The chances of us injuring ourselves will increase, isn’t it?

//

Eleven’s explanation:

On the contrary in South America or Europe footballing nations, at this age whether if they are up against a tough opponent or undergoing training,

All will be done on the grass patch. I feel that this will make a remarkable difference.

//

Kakeru:

So this is what is going on …

Eleven:

However playing on the beach will be less terrifying than playing on the grass patch.

First year:

Oh!

//

Kakeru:

Indeed after listening what you said, the sempais have no worries pulling reckless moves.

Even Matoba did the overhead kick in the end.

You did the diving header yourself earlier.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eleven:

In other to do away with the fears you have in playing football,

The coach has deliberately decided to hold the training on the beach instead.

//

Eleven:

It can be said that Coach Iwaki …

Is indeed an unbelievable guy.

//

Sempai:

Baka, this is the obvious.

Kakeru:

Hino- sempai.

//

Sempai:

Do you know something? Enoshima High did win the provincial tournament once.

Kakeru:

I know that.

Eleven:

I saw the records, it was 10 years ago.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sempai:

The records only show it as Enoshima High’s football club, but the ones that actually did it was Enoshima High’s FC.

And at that time, the leader, who wore the number 10, is our Coach Iwaki.

//

First year, Kakeru and Eleven:

…

//

Sempai’s explanation:

In order to oppose the never- yielding SC, that person found another football club – Enoshima High FC.

Together with people that shared his ideals, they defeated the school’s recognized football club and secured the school’s representative spot. It is later that they are known as Kanagawa’s only worthy opponent.

//

Sempai’s explanation:

Coach Iwaki is indeed an unbelievable guy.

Kakeru:

…

//
Mako:

Oi …

Eleven:

This is shameful …

Kakeru:

…

//

Sempai:

Even though he behaves weirdly, many of us deeply respect him from the bottom of our heart.

We are only making fun of him on the surface.

Kakeru:

…

//

Sempai2:

However in reality, things are never that carefree.

Kakeru:

Bayashi- sempai.

//

Sempai2:

After that incident, our FC has never won against SC again.

And before Coach Iwaki came in, we are almost disbanded.

//

Sempai1:

But now things are different!

Last year Iwaki sensei became the coach, there are lots of people who are attracted to his ideals decided to enroll into Enoshima High.

//

Sempai2:

In most of middle school’s soccer clubs, football clubs within the county and the Japanese youth squad,

He has tried his best to persuade them over.

Background:

I was one of those that got persuade.

//

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sempai:

There are people like Mako and Junpei that have been rejected by SC and have to join us. Even though our headcount isn’t that impressive, our battle strength is not much inferior from SC.

We do have a chance.

//

Sempai:

Hey, Aizawa and Matoba.

Let’s give those SC bastards a shock of their lives!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

//

//

//

Araki:

…

//
Mako:

Hey stop hiding in one corner and peep, Araki …

Araki:

I’m only here to see Nana’s swimsuit.

Mako:

Ho ho, you are not being true to yourself …

//

Araki:

Hah, the swimsuit fell off.

Mako:

Quick peep!

Araki:

The idiot is watching …

Mako:

…

//

Mako:

You dumb pig! If you want to return to us, just spill the beans! Hah…?

Araki:

Ugh … I’ve lost.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mako:

You’re really being mindful of Kakeru.

Araki

…

//

Mako:

He is Aizawa Suguru’s younger brother, right? That is why you …

Araki:

This has nothing to do with me.

//

Mako:

Is that so …

Araki:

…

//

Mako:

You have seen it and what do you think about Kakeru?

Only middle school level! He will never survive the high school’s environment.

//

Mako

That’s rubbish.

I feel that he is overflowing with talent.

//

Araki:

… He has a fatal flaw.

Mako:

Flaw?

//

Araki:

That’s right …

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mako:

…

//

Araki:

… Speaking of which, to a forward this is indeed a major flaw. If it is discovered by the opponent, he is done for.

…

//

Araki:

However,

His senses within the penalty area are acute.

//

Araki:

That itself cannot be achieved through training, only talent. Suguru once mentioned it.

//

Mako:

… a half assed genius … just like you.

//

Araki:

Stop spouting nonsense.

Mako:

Hey, Araki.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mako:

You need to return to FC.

Even though Kakeru has the weakness that you have mentioned,

//

Mako:

With your passes,

He would able to maximize his potential, isn’t it?

Araki:

…

//

Mako:

It doesn’t matter if it is Kakeru, you, me or any other people, we could all be half- assed.

It’s okay even if we are not perfect. Isn’t working together and unraveled your opponent’s weakness the best part of football!

//

Araki:

I’ve already retired and have no reason no return.

//

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mako:

This is rubbish, if you have got over it …

//

Mako:

Why are you still wearing your football sneakers?

//

Mako:

…

Mako’s thoughts:

Araki, do you still remember the first time when I met you, you said that …

//

Mako’s thoughts:

In order for your feet to get used to the sneaker, you need to wear it all the time.

And when it is time for the competition, you will change the stubs.

//

Mako’s thoughts:

After I saw your match,

I was moved.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakeru:

Mako, I’m alright now. Look here, the cramps are healed.

Mako:

Oh.

//

Kakeru:

Matoba, let us compete to see who will score the most in the second half.

First year:

I will never lose to you.

Sempai2:

Oi oi, I never allow both of you to score any more.

Mako:

…

//

Kakeru:

It is not just running. I want to wear these as often as I can in order for my feet to get used.

And until the time for the match, I will change the sneaker stubs.

//

Mako:

…

//

Mako’s thoughts:

A person, who has repeated the same words as you have, joined

That person needs your passes …

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mako:

Come back …

Let me witness once again … your magic- like football.

//

Mako:

Araki Ryuuichi

Araki:

…
