AAaand at long last, I am DONE with Ring! Woo! Man this last chapter posed a lot of challenges. But I got through them all. I even did the 7 pages of "Here's how I went to a sports store and bought round things and then just did whatever made sense for the rules" segment. Okay, so high8sky is working on typesetting V2 now and then we'll try to get V3 done soon after that. Now that this is done, I finally have time to go back to a bunch of other stuff I put off since last November or so. I did really like this manga. It's kinda sad it never continued. Or at least doesn't look like it's gonna continue, given that this wasn't all that popular and Toriko is, Shimabu will probably tend more towards that sorta manga in the future. But as a short manga, I thought it was really good. The jokes were always good and the characters all felt like they were their own human beings with their own personalities, ideas and goals. And the sport itself seemed pretty cool and exciting.
Welp, that's that. At some point, I would like to do at least a little of Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi. That series is EXTREMELY long so I can't make any promises about it. I'd rather finish some more things I'm currently doing, and most of those will probably keep going all year or longer, depending on how much time I end up being able to dedicate to them. I hope everyone enjoyed this series as much as I have! Go read it if you haven't yet!
[Ring 24 Translation by Kewl0210] Page 183: Izumi: Tokita! Change out!! Toki: ! SFX: AA AAA Somebody: Ooooh! Number 12, Tokita is heading for the *substitution line! Looks like Yamagaku is making a sub here! Asterisk: The entrance and exit for players subbing in and out. By the way, this doesn't require the referee's permission. Izumi: Okay, well done! You'll get another chance, soon! Don't let it get you down!! Toki: Isu. Title: Ring24: Victory Shot! Guys: Number 12's moves have definitely been solid!

Aka: What the hell was a nice defensive play, moron?!! You: Don't do anythin' yer not supposed ta!! Sum: Whu?
Page 194: Sum: But if I hadn't fouled him they definitely would've gotten a point... Aka: I don't wanna hear that shit from you!! Did you forget what Sensei told you?! Sum: Hm? Aka: Listen up! SFX: GAH Aka: All you should be thinking about is how to stop that baldy!! Forget about everybody else! And you don't need to be part of the offense, either!! Just stick to that guy like glue!! GOOOT IIIIT? [Last sentence big.] Sum: GUMU~~~... SFX: GAH Somebody: He got the free-throoooow!! Anri scores its 4th point!! Their momentum is unstoppable!! SFX: WAAAAAA Aka: That idiot!

Page 195: Daimon: Press him!! Don't let Aka just do whatever he wants!! Guys: Hm? !! SFX: BIH Guys: Huh.....? He... He shot it?! He's way outside the area!! Is he going for a bonus shot?! Izumi: You idiot!! He's letting them get to him!! Daimon: Good. That Aka kid... is getting hasty... Take a good look! Those don't go in that easy!! [First sentence big.] And that's an easy rebound for Anri!! SFX: BAM Aka: Anri may have the height, but we've got the jumping power...!! Jump, Yousukee!!

Aka: 'A course! Go cool your head a little, idiot!! SFX: GABIIIN Somebody: What's thiiiiis?! Number 15 from Yamagaku that only just joined the game is stepping oooout!! It's like he only entered the game to cause problems for his teaaaam!! How embarrassing!! SFX: WAAAAAAAAA Ikki: KAKkAKKA! Ma~~~n, this guy's entertaining! He's a total clown! Sum: GUNU... Remember this, bastaaard. I promise I'm gonna leave you speechless... Ikki: Heh...... Go ahead... If you can, that is...
Page 201: Sum: Hm... Ikki: Huh? Asuka: Okay, Summer-kun! In Bubble: Here's a towel! Good work out there! Sum: AA~~~~ You've got it all wro~~~ng! Ashuka-senpai~~~ I'm really not that ba~~~d! Handwritten: I'm really good! I'm really much, much Asuka: Don't worry about it! We've still got plenty of match to go! Let's just do our best! Fuji: Hanagata-kun, please come here a moment. Sum: !! SFX: BIKUH Sum: I am sorry, Supervisor! Handwritten: Look how sorry I am! Fuji: Hm.....? About what? Sum: Wha...? You don't know...?
Page 202: Fuji: This was your first match, but you weren't nervous or stiff...... You stayed positive and your movement was sharp, too, Hanagata-kun...! Sum: ........ Huh..... For real? Fuji: Yes......... Some errors in judgement are to be expected for someone without any real game experience... Sum: Er~~~~ I guess you really were watching me then! In Bubble: Should've thought so. Aw ma~~~~n! I thought he wasn't going to put me in anymore... Fuji: However... Sum: Nu? However? Fuji: As far at the game goes, as things currently stand, we're gonna lose.
Page 203: Someone: Scoooore! That's the 6th point!!! And it's Ikki agaiiiiin!! SFX: WAH Sum: ...... That guy... Someone: 6 to 2!! Looks like the difference in the teams' ability is starting to become apparent!! Fuji: You don't like losing, right, Hanagata-kun? Aka: S... Supervisor!! To somebody as 'addicted to winning' as Hanagata Natsu... that's a silly question! SFX: GOGO... Fuji: Very good. SFX: NIKO (Smile) Fuji: Okay, listen closely to what Sensei has to say. We're counting on you, Hanagata-kun.
Page 204: Narration: And after that----- The back-and-forth of scoring between the teams continued... The Yamagaku 1st year ace Saori scored and even Date, who was distracted from the match because of his attention on Nobumi... scored a bonus-shot that would turn out to be very painful for Yamagaku... But without hesitation, they were able to rally with Aka's individual skills, but... just as the 1st half was ending Ikki was able to score a crippling 9th point. And here...... SFX: GLANCE
Page 205: Ref: Time up!! 9 to 4!! Somebody: The 1st half ends with Anri having a 5-point leaaaaad!! Sign: Yamagaku [Left side] Anri [right side] Bubbles: HAA HAA HAAA SFX: PIPPIIIH Daimon: All right! Well done, boys...! You got 4 more points scored on you than you should have in the 1st half, but Yamagaku should slow down in the 2nd half... There's no way they have the strength left to win back 5 points... Huhu... This match it completely ours! SFX: GRIN George: Heey, Aka!! What're you doing! You're losin', ain'cha?!! Nobu: Aka-kuuuun! Nice work out theeere! [Heart] SFX: WAH George: We came all the way here ta cheer you guys on, ya know!! Be a little more serious out there, dammit!! Aka: Sheddeeeep! And your breath stiiinks, George!! Nobumi: Aka-kuun! Please eat the lunch I made you! [Heart] Aka: I don' want it! Handwritten: Stop talking!
Page 206: Aka: Damn... That Anri 1st year... He got most of those points on his own... Yumi: Red... Don't forget you've been given a card. If you get kicked outta the game, we're done for... Aka: Yeah, I know. Seki: Sensei. Fuji: Hm? Seki: Honestly, it's really hard to keep up the defense with just Kiyokiyo and I... Maybe we should have just one more person change positions... Fuji: You've got it backwards, Seki-kun... We need to stress offense in the 2nd half. I'd really like it if both you and Kiyomizu-kun heartily participated in our team's attack, too...! Seki: Huh?! But... Fuji: A 5 point difference is really tough... Even if we keep our opponents from scoring a single point in the 2nd half, we can't win unless we score 6... Seki: Can we really just ignore Anri's attack? That 1st year is... Fuji: We can stop him. With Hanagata-kun! Guys: Heh...?
Page 207: Sum: Guys! You guys can relax! I got this......!! Guys: Y... You idiot!! It's practically because of you that the gap in scores is so big!! Sum: Wh-Whaat?! Don't pin all this on me, you pieces a crap! You: Sensei, this guy's just gonna make the same mistakes again!! Fuji: Hm? I hope all of you would think of the "fear" of making mistakes is the worst mistake. What's important is not to give up. No matter how big and complicated a maze you're in, there's always an exit... As long as you don't give up, you can be certain you'll eventually make it to the goal...... Understand......? Losing means giving up...... Hanagata-kun has that tenacity not to give up.
Page 208: Fuji: Anyhow, the theme for the 2nd half will be scoring points...!! I want everyone to concentrate hard on offense and attack...! Ref: It's time! The 2nd half is starting!! SFX: PIH Aka: Oookay! Let's gooo!! All we can do now is trust Sensei and fight!! Ou!! Ken: Don't count on Summer!! Sum: SHUT UP!! SFX: OOO Daimon: Ookay, go deal the finishing blow, boys!! Don't go easy on 'em!! Let's make the lead even bigger in the 2nd half!! Ikki: Got it!! SFX: OOH!
Page 209: Izumi: Is... Is he gonna be oka~~~y? That Summer kid...? First of all, I don't even know if he was actually listening to you. Fuji: He'll be fine. His dad was a selfish guy, too... I know how to convince him...... Izumi: Huh? Ref: Yamagaku's Ring!! Throw-off!!! SFX: PIIIH Aka: URAA! Let's gooo!! Someone: Get fired up, everybodyyy!! Ou!! Let's make a comeback!! Ooooo!! Yamagaku!! Are they all going for an attack now?! SFX: WAH Daimon: Well, that's only natural..... if you consider the point difference. But I'm actually thankful that that's their strategy...! Because it'll be easier for us to counterattack!
Page 210: Aka: All riiight! Someone: UWAaA! Aka's afaaaaast!!! SFX: BIH BABABA Date: That form was awkward as hell! No way it's goin' in! Someone: Ook!! Aaaaah! So close!! SFX: GAH Someone: It's obvious where it's gonna bounce! Anrei's good!!! Quick attaaack, IkkI!! SFX: DAH Aka: Damn! Get back!!
Page 211: Someone: Here it coooomes! Anri's specialty counter!! Looks like Ikki's gonna be the star of the show in the 2nd half, tooooo!! !! SFX: BAN
Page 212: Aka: !! You: Summeeeer!! Dai: Hm...? Ikki: Bastard... Aka: Heh. You ain't getting by me...! Fuji: FIrst, you can't let "him" run! Aka: You mean that bald bastard? Fuji: There's no need to actually take the ring from him... just focus on stopping his movement. The most important part of defense is preventing your opponent from getting past you...! Ikki: ....... Damn.
Page 213: Noguchi: Ikki! Ikki: ! Ah! SFX: BYU Misugi: ORAA!! Noguchi: !! SFX: BAKOH Kuri: He intercepted it!! Oookay, now go for a counter!! Someone: UWAaaa! This time Yamagaku countered!! They scored! They beat Anri at their own game!! SFX: WAAA Guys: All riiight! Nice one!! Ou! SFX: BAN Izumi: O... Oo... Fuji: What we need to prevent first and foremost is the one-man quick attack where they have a clear chance to score.
Page 214: Fuji: If the rest of the team can make it in the time Hanagata-kun has stopped him in place... Anri's specialty quick attack won't be quite so fearsome. Ikki: Don't look down on me, dammit! SFX: DON Daimon: It's man to maaaan!! Has he totally sealed Ikki off?!! You really revised your strategy from the 1st half fast. I should expect nothing less, Fuji-chan. You've touched one of our vital points quite accurately... But... will you really be able to stop our ace as easily as you planned?
Page 215: Ikki: Stupid bastard! Do you seriously think you can keep up with my speed?! SFX: DAH Fuji: But you can't settle down and move in-step with him. You just want to focus on keeping him from getting past you. If the opponent tries to force their way through, you need to be nimble in blocking their course. SFX: DON Sum: Block the course!! Ikki: UOH! SFX: BAN
Page 216: Someone: UWAA! What the hell?! That was fast!! Did he warp or something?!! SFX: WAH Fuji: If they ran a 100-meter dash with Imagawa-kun, it's likely nobody could beat him..... Even Hanagata-kun...... But in a 5-meter dash, I'm not so sure...... ["5-meter" italics.] Hanagata-kun is a player that's truly great at going from standing still straight into a sprint. In a match of explosive power, Hanagata-kun has the clear advantage...! In other words, if he doesn't give Imagawa-kun a long enough range to reach his top speed, then we have nothing to feer. Aka: Got it! Ikki: Ah! SFX: GAH Sum: All riiight! Aka-chin, goooooo!! Go score in my place!!
Page 217: Date: Like I'm just gonna let you! SFX: DON Nobumi: Aka-kuuuun!!! Ram right into that guuuuy!!! Handwritten: WAh! Date: HAH! Handwritten: Ram into... Aka: Mu? SFX: POH Aka: You're open!! Date: !! SFX: DAN Someone: UWAaA! Aka scooooored!! It's 9 to 6!! Yamagaku slowly but surely closing the gap!! SFX: WAA Daimon: Nuu... Date's movement is unusually bad in this match...... He should still have the stamina even considering he's playing 2 matches in a row..... Narration: It's because of Nobumi... SFX: IRA IRA (Annoyance)
Page 218: Guy: Kinda..... feels like Yamagaku has the momentum now, doesn't it? Sorta. Or rather Anri's momentum's gone down a little. You: ........... Handwritten: HAA HAA You: It's Summer.... By Summer stopping Ikki, the flow's naturally goin' our way...! Now's our chance ta catch up...! Actually, if we don't catch up now... the point difference is gonna really lay heavy on us with the little time we've got left......! Sum: C'moooon! Come get us, ANrI!! I'll stop every last one 'a you!! Ken: Even though Summer's usually so sloppy, he's putting up some solid defense..... Unbelievable... He'd usually be going for all kinds of weird shots at this point...... Kuri: Sense, how on earth did you persuade him...? Fuji: Hm? In order to achieve victory, you have to both change your plays and how you think about them... I told him that if he wanted to win, that's what he had to do...... Hanagata-kun really hates losing, you see...... Toki: ........ Is that really all.....? Summer, the king of selfishness...?
Page 219: Sum: And what about attacking---- sensei? Can I shoot, too? Fuji: No. I want you to focus on defense. Sum: I don' wanna~~~ I wanna shoot, too~~~~!! I wanna look good for Ashuka-senspai~~~~!! Fuji: I didn't say anything about defending for the entire time. Sum: Huh? Fuji: If even you're able to do a good job stopping Ikki-kun, if I'm behind honest, the odds of us winning will still be low. Sum: ! Fuji: Technique, stamina, spirit, strategy, teamwork...... In pretty much all of them, Anri is a level or two aboce us...... Going into the 2nd half, this gap in points will probably only become more pronounced... That's where you come in, Hanagata-kun. We're betting... on you!
Page 220: Guy: If Ikki can't do it, then I'll go all the way myself!! URAaA!!! Narration: Yamagaku Anri 6-10 Guy: URAaA!!! Someone: There heiiiis! Uematsu with a direct scoooooore!!! SFX: DOGON Guys: That guy's strong!! Ue: Don't look down on Anri, the kings!! Somebody: Anri still has it!! They won't give up the momentum!!! Yumi: Damn. They're a stubborn bunch...... Aka: Don't get quiet on mee!! Ih?! SFX: GUH
Page 221: Aka: --------! Ahtah...!! SFX: PIKI Aka: Aw man... Take it! You: Hmmmm? What's wrong, Aka?! Izumi: He sounds like he's in trouble! Aaaaah! Aka hurt his leeeeg!! Aka: Ku... Izumi: I guess playing 2 matches in a row is really taking it's tollllll!! SFX: WAAAA Izumi: Get ready, Tokita! Toki: Isu! Izumi: Muu...... Saori's played in both games, too... And not just that, our opponent is Anri... Everyone's probably reaching their peak of fatigue...... Shit...... At this point, our lack of bench strength is really hurting us...!!
Page 222: Daimon: Now's your chance!! Now's the time to finish them!!! Aka: Shit... Hang tight, you guys!! Izumi: Hey, how many minutes are left? Ref: 7 minutes and a little. Izumi: 7 minutes left and a 4-point gap... We may not make it... Guy: They're totally out of it now! This'll be an easy victory!! SFX: ZUBAH Guy: This'll finish it!! SFX: BAH Sum: I can't just let you end it like that!
Page 223: Guys: WHAAAAAAH?! Whaaaat?! It's Summeeeeer!! He took iiiiit!!! SFX: WAAAA Summer: We've still got one guy bursting with energy!! Right here!!! Asuka: Gyaaaaa! Summer-kuuuN! George: Nice goiiiin, Summeeeeer!! SFX: WAH You: Give it here, Summeeeer!!! Guys: UWAAA! It's Saoriiii!! With all his might, he got a 7th point!! Narration: Yamagaku Anri 7-10 SFX: AAAA Guys: They've sunk their teeth in!! Don't give up, Yamagaku!!! Ikki: You should just drop dead and make it easy on yourselves!! SFX: GUH
Page 224: Sum: You should drop dead, moron!! Ikki: UWAH! SFX: BAH Sum: I just remembered... Huhu... The book you ripped off from that store back then... It was a porno mag, wasn't it? SFX: DOKI Sum: Theeeere, got it! Ikki: !! SFX: GAH Someone: UWAAA! Summer took it agaiiiin!! Daimon: Wh... Whaaat...? What the hell's he doing...!! Stop him!! Coach: It'll be fine, Supervisor. It looked a little scary there for a minute, but... there's no time left... We've won this.
Page 225: Sum: Move up!! We've gotta counter, oraa!! Misugi: ....... Sum: Hey, dammit! Freakin' run, long hair-kun! Don't get worn out yet!! Misugi: There's just under 3 minutes left............ A 3 point gap... We've got one more play... and Aka-san's out of it...... Handwritten: HAA HAA Yumi: Even if by some miracle we got a bonus shot, that wouldn't be enough..... SFX: HAA HAA Seki: It's no good... We're gonna lose... Handwritten: HAA HAA You: Naw, not yet!! We can't give up, guys!! Keep running till the end!!! Ken: Saori!! Kuri: That's right!! Asuka: Don' give up!! Yousuke!! You: We can still make a comeback!! We can still... SFX: HAA HAA HAA Asuka: Yousuke...!! Narration: But---- Everyone felt it......
Page 226: Narration: How very difficult it would be..... to catch up now... Except for one of them----- Fuji: If... there's 3 or so minutes left..... and we're 3 or more points behind...
Page 227: Fuji: You can shoot... Hanagata-kun. Sum: ! Fuji: Not allowing you to participate in offense is a strategy... Right now, no one on Anri is thinking about you shooting. So we can be certain you'll be able to shoot unguarded. A *Victory Shot. If you can score one of those, you get 5 bonus shots... in other words Asterisk: *A shot from your own goal area. Fuji: We can comeback. Sum: For real?! That sounds even more impressive than a regular bonus shot! Fuji: If you can score that, then you might become a legend.
Page 228: SFX: SU... Guys: ! Daimon: Hm? What's he doing? You: He's... Date: Huh? Izumi: No way... Asuka: Summer-kun! Aka: Hey, hey... Sum: Really, Ring's..... just a big ring-toss, right?
Page 229: Toki: ........... I get it... So you wanted to do that, huh...? Ikki: ...Huh? He's passing it, right? Is he trying to shoot it?! Is he an idiot?! Coach: Supervisor! Should we just let him shoot? Daimon: Of course, don't mind him! This is just their last-ditch attempt. No way in hell can they score a Victory Shot... Think about it. Even in the pros, there's only a single person who's... ever... Hm? Sum: I used to do those with my dad a lot as a kid. Fuji: Hey..... Are you watching...?
Page 230-231: Narration: This is.. just a beginning-------

Page 234: Narration: The next day----- Guys: Good morniiing! Iiissu! Wahhahha! It really suits, you, Summeeeer! Sum: Sheddep!! Well... At least it feels cool! Bottom Right: End [Big] Part 1 [3] RING (End)
Page 235: Shimabu's Story (Until I made Ring (12)) Well, I said I was gonna go look for a hoop, but they didn't exist (hehe), so I had to just look for a ring 'close to the ones used in RING'. The first thing that came to mind for me was a "hula hoop". The first thing I had in mind when I was first thinking about RING was a hula hoop, so I figured I'd start by testing it out with a hula hoop... So I went to a large sports store and looked for a hula hoop. I never expected to be buying a hula hoop at this age... At that time, I was still writing Names in Okinawa, but I came across a nearby large (really, it was huge) sports shop. So I went there and found one pretty easily, a hula hoop. But! I thought at the time, this was really totally different from what I imagined!! How was it different...? Well first, it felt too slender when I gripped it and the ring itself was huge! And when I threw it on the ground, it didn't bounch as high as I expected it to... Mmm, this is frustrating... I'd had memories of hula hoops sprining high into the air when I threw them on the ground... And it was plastic, so it felt like if you threw it too hard it would break. I tested it out in the shop before I bought it, and I had been thinking it wouldn't look too good if I broke it before I even bought it... (Hehe). So it turned out there was too big gap in what a real hula hoop was and what I'd imagined... That was unavoidable. Okay, so with the hula hoop being off from what I'd imagined, what should I try next... Thinking about it, the next thing that came to mind was bicycle tube. Those are made of rubber, so they should bounce, and their thickness and texture should be just about right, I thought. So I looked around that same sports shop and there, I found it, a tube. But there were all tubes for adult bicycles which were too big, also way off from how I'd imagined them. But when I tried grasping the tires full of air for stuff like mountain bikes, they felt like they matched the rings from the RING I had in my head perfectly! The thickness was perfect, too. There was just a problem of size, and of course it was a bicycle tire, so they had a thing sticking out to put air into the tube. That thing was really gonna get in the way, and if it were just the tube, that would be facing outward... So at that time I bought a tire cover sorta thing to cover the outside of the tube. Or, not so much a cover as an actual tire. The type that have no tube inside.
Page 236: Shimabu's Story (Until I made Ring (12)) Those are also technically rubber, but it was the outside of a tire so it had the gouged-out inside shape (Like a handle cover in a car). So of course it didn't bounce, even if you threw it hard on the ground, it would just go limp so it was totally different from the image in my head. So basically in a "this'll be fine for now" way I bought it. Okay, okay, time to start a game of RING (hehe)! Yes! With that tire!! Though I actually didn't have any rules decided yet. So I ended up just tossing the ball, or rather the ring, back and forth with my brother (Like, a pass facing each other). We did it in a vacant lot nearby the house we grew up in, but if anybody had seen us there, they were probably wondering what the hell these guys were doing (Hehe). Because at first glance it looks like we're throwing a frisbee around, but upon closer inspection, it's 'These guys are throwing a tire back and forth!!' (Hehe). So what we did was we gradually got further and further away from each other and we passed it back and forth at a maximum of 40-50 meters and me and my little brother were able to pass it directly to one another at that range. But when we caught it, it actually kinda hurt. I guess that was because of the rotation. If the sport of Ring really existed, if the pro-level players threw this Ring, the speed of the rotation would be nothing like this, right...?, I thought. It was at that point that I decided to give the players gloves. I felt like RING was finally starting to take form, and I remember getting pretty excited then... Kyahaha (Hehe). The next thing I tried to do was 'shooting'. Of course I've said this hundreds of times (No you didn't!), that a RING goal poll doesn't exist in this world, so I just used an iron pipe that was sitting around in the vacant lot that had been used in a construction site and used it like a goal. That was where I tried throwing it using the sort of tricks you use in a ring-toss. But these didn't really go in (Hehe). Even if I really tried, I still couldn't get a ringer. Man, that's hard!! If I got close enough I could get it in, but when I got just a bit further away, around 5~6 meters, it really got pretty difficult! But! BUT YOU SEE!! Sorry, I got kinda heated here., (hehe) but please listen!!
Page 236: Shimabu's Story (Until I made Ring (13)) The joy I felt at the moment I did get it in seriously felt great!! I was pretty casual about that joy, but it was pretty intense (Hehe)!! It was incomparable to the feeling for getting a 3-pointer in basketball!! If I had to compare it to something it would be like getting a goal in soccer or at least close to it in terms of tension. That's how happy I was from that! I mean, it was just my little brother and I there with nobody else around, just throwing a tire so it went around a pipe, and I felt that excited... In a way, it was a real shock... Kinda like I'd found some sorta jewel in a place nobody else knew about (That's an exaggeration for ya!) Hehe. But really, that's what I thought at the time. Aah... I want to convey 'RING' with this... I thought. The characters and the story and the subject matter would all be fictional, but that one thing I actually felt was real. Just the idea of throwing a hoop onto a poll really made electricity flow in my body. Like around 2 volts worth... (Geez, that's not much!) Hehe. It's kinda hard to communicate, but... or rather it's impossible, but just having been able to physically experience that made me feel like there would be meaning in drawing 'RING', I thought, and somehow or other my courage increased 100 fold... And so, getting wound up over that, I decided that the next thing I'd try would be playing around with the Ring, or rather the hoop (tire), and what sort of plays I could do with it... basically. But this was kinda like a street-performance juggling trick, so I couldn't really do any plays that were all that impressive without practicing... That was another thing I felt out there... However, on the other hand, if I had the premise of people who'd been playing RING for a long time ever since they were kids, then a whole lot of plays would be possible, wouldn't there? It felt like there were quite a lot of possibilities. But again, for that, all I could do was imagine... The thing that frustrated me the most... I guess would be dribbling. When I was thinking about the rules, this was honestly the thing that I was worried over the most. What do I do about dribbling... I thought about it in a whole bunch of different ways. Should I restrict it to the "number of steps", like in basketball, while carrying the Ring...? Or should I do it like in handball where the "time" you can carry the ring is restricted... This caused me a great deal of frustration. And when actually carrying the ring, (tire) there was a lot of trial and error in trying to move with it...
Page 236: Shimabu's Story (Until I made Ring (14)) Dribbling is decisively one of the more major means of approaching an opponent's territory, so it has to carry a considerable risk with it, I'd say. All sports have a risk like that as part of the rules, after all... But one thing I had made up my mind about was "Simple is best!", so I wanted to make the rules as simple and easy to understand as possible. So I wanted to leave out complicated stuff like time and number of steps if at all possible. I was creating something that had no real "right answer" to it, so I decided I'd just go with simple! Yeah!! I could attach anything else I need later on, anyhow... You might ask why it is I thought that way... You see when I was making 'Ring' I read lots of different sports' rule books. And what I learned from them was the rules of pretty much every sport change little by little every year. Even sports that've been around for over 100 years are still having revisions to the rules. In other words, rules themselves are things that change with the era, so it's essentially impossible to make perfect ones right from the outset. With that in mind, there obviously was no way some average guy like me could make perfect rules. You could call this a form of dodging responsibility... (hehe). But thinking that made things a whole lot easier, and so I divided the work so I'd start with just trying to come up with the bare-basic rules. ...By the way, I read a whole bunch of rule books, and rugby and basketball seriously have too many fouls (hehe)! In my mind, soccer has the ideal rules! Among all these sports, soccer's rule book is extremely thin and there are few actual violations you can perform. Also, what I think is really amazing about soccer is that even if you don't have a ball, just something round, anyone can play it anywhere. In other words, kids can play it no matter how poor their country is. I don't think sports that cost money to play are necessarily bad, not at all, but people all over the world can enjoy the game the same way. I think that point is what makes soccer such a great sport. And soccer is undoubtedly the king of sports (Though I'd really like it if RIng became at least a foot-soldier of sports... hehe).
Page 239: Shimabu's Story (Until I made Ring (15)) Okay, about the rules, I decided on simple. So with dribbling I ended up with no restrictions on it. Run with it in your hand (hehe)! You can run all you want!! is what I went with... To be honest, I only decided this after Ring was already serialized (Hey, hey...). So I did stress over that quite a bit. In place of it, I decided to implement the 'Over-Keep' rule which is a lot like something they have in rugby (See 'RING' volume 2). There are a lot of things that get called violations, aren't there? Frequently, they're things to "limit dangerous play" and limit "stalling for time". So from there, I figured that in sports where scores you earn determine the match, there's really no need to "stall for time", right...? Like in volleyball or tennis or badminton or table tennis, there's really no meaning in "stalling for time", pretty much... So what I stressed over next was since Ring is a field sport, so if I made it something like whoever gets to 10 points first wins, then nobody would be thinking about time, right (Hehe)? So it's possible the game could keep going for over 3 hours or even end in 15 minutes... When I considered that, I decided it would feel way more natural to make RING a game that ended when time ran out. I had come to a pretty clear answer, there. So then you had the problem of what to do if a winning team did things to delay the game in order to run away with it... Right, so there I referenced the rules of soccer, but in soccer you have the concept of 'ungentlemanly conduct', in other words plays that the referee judged as unsportsmanlike were then given that label and considered a violation. In other words, there are some strictly established rules, but beyond that there were things the referee could judge depending on the individual situation. It's quite a compromise, or rather a convenient rule, huh? At that point I say 'That rule rocks!' (Hehe). In ring I decided on some rough rules, but everything beyond that I decided would be up to the referee (hehe)! Mm, I've gotta say I took the easy way out... 'Hmph' I thought. (What the hell do you mean 'Hmph'?!)
Page 240: Shimabu's Story (Until I made Ring (16)) There was still a lot to come up with, but this next one was straight and to the point! What do I do with the uniforms?! Yeah... For this, it was really strange, er, there were times when I said 'Woa~h'. In every sport, you could tell which sport it was just by looking at the uniforms. This is an offhand remark, don't you think that's incredible? In judo, kendo, American football, and ice hockey, just by how they look, well I guess those are pretty obvious, but even in sports like soccer and rugby and of course baseball and basketball, everyone can tell what sport the players are in without even seeing them play. Ideally I'd like that kind of simplicity to be in Ring, too, but this was another thing that was surprisingly difficult... Every sport's uniform, much as you'd expect, was an outfit made to suit the sport they were going to be played in. So then we have RING, a sport played outside with some degree of physical exertion. So then the shoes would have to be spiked. I figured 'Okay, I guess' on that one, but the important part is the design of the uniforms. So of course, I was gonna have to reference other outdoor sports like soccer or rugby. So then how do I go about differentiating them... The first thing I thought of was since RING was something I had thought up, and I'm Japanese, the sport of Ring in the manga would be a sport with Japanese origins... So then maybe I could give it Japanese conventions like something familiar like a 'sash' around everyone...? Yeah, like around the waist. I mean karate and judo are both sports with a sash of some sort, and I wouldn't be overlapping with them too much, I thought. Also, since it kinda looked cool visually, or maybe it's just me that thinks they're cool, I thought about putting something high-neck at the throat... I thought about the undershirts that they have in baseball, like Ichirou or somebody wearing those high-neck undershirts was kinda cool. In Ring I would put pads in there and in the unlikely event that the ring went around your neck, pads would have the protect your throat, so it would serve that purpose, too (Though that was a reason I came up with later on...). I figured that would be the limit as far as uniform design went. I mean I'm not all that good at that sorta thing. If it were up to me I would be pretty 'whatever' when it came to the clothes, so I figured that was pretty okay... (Yeah, that should be good). I kinda followed myself up there!
Page 241: Shimabu's Story (Until I made Ring (17)) Gumu~~~, I still have a I haven't finished with my 'Until I Made Ring' (What?! You do?!) and there's tons of things I haven't written enough about, but I don't have enough pages left... (Hey!). By the way, about the hoop used in Ring, after that I tested it out on a bicycle tube and just as I expected, it didn't really work. Believe t or not, the closest thing I could find was (I touched a bit on this before) was a car's steering wheel cover!! The feeling of grasping it, the weight, and the texture were all perfect!! Also it bounced so it made a perfect ring! There's a lot of other stuff I'd like to talk about, so until an opportunity arises when I get another chance... that's all. Lastly, I didn't write this manga called 'RING' because I wanted to show people the sport of Ring... Ring is simply the theme. The star of the show is without question the characters!! What I wanted to show everyone was Summer, Toki, Saori and the rest!! The stars of any manga are always the characters. If I'm able to draw their incredible stories of what comes after this, I'd really like to! To all the staff that went through great pains since this manga called 'RING' was announced, to all my editors that I bothered by always handing in things right at the deadline, to all my assistants that helped out without complaining even in the difficult times, to my family that's always supported me, and most of all all the readers that've supported me, you have my deepest gratitude. This manga is for all the people I hold dear, my readers, and all of my loved ones up in heaven. See ya later~!

Ooookay! I managed to get all but the last chapter done before Jump started up again. And the last chapter has 7 page of "Until I Made Ring" so I'm not gonna try to stay up to get it done. I'll get that last chapter done sometime this week, and then this series will be done and that'll be awesome.
[Ring 23 Translation by Kewl0210] Page 157: Somebody: Without further ado, the Yamakawa Academy-Anri High School B Team match will begin!! Yamagaku: UoRAAAA! Let's goooo!!! OSSHAaA!!! Let's crush 'em!!! Title: Ring23: Summer Enters!

So depending on the situation, there might be some very intense switching of players... Those on the bench may be even more vital than the starting players... Times for you to shine will come frequently, Hanagata-kun. So make sure you work yourself up a sweat so you're ready to go any time.
Page 161: Sum: Oooookay! Sweat, check! Swap with me, Saori!! Toba: The match hasn't even started yet, Hanagata-kun!! Uh, aren't you sorta sweating way too much?!!

What is it?! Am I in?! Fuji: Yeah, you're in...! Are you all warmed up?
Page 181: Sum: 'A course!!
Page 182: Top: Shimabu's Story Parentheses: (Until I made Ring (10)) Article: Okay, stand! Bow!! Be seated!! Okay, so now I think I'd like to continue my 'Until I made Ring'. Everyone, open your non-textbooks 'Ring' Volume 2 and open up to "Shimabu's story'. Let's review what we read last time! Or rather, I don't remember myself at all, so I'll be doing a review (Hehe)!! That actually reminds me of something an old school teacher of mine once said, 'It's okay to forget formulas...' Er, hu~~~h?! It's okay to forget them~~~~?! is what I thought at the time. I'm pretty sure this was a math teacher or something. 'It's okay as long as you remember them again', he said afterwards, which I oddly can't help but agree with, seeing as I was a self-proclaimed Mister Last-Minute-Crammer at the time. Yes. My forgetfulness is because of that teacher (Yeah, right!). Now then, we got pretty off track just there, but on to 'Until I Made Ring'. Last time, I think I was up to a part where I had come up with everything up to the ring-toss on a field as a competitive sport stuff. I had reached the level where what was in my mind and on the page I was somehow able to come up with the general idea of what Ring was. But it was a hard stage to describe because I still had all the details to hammer out... If I were to put my anticipation and anxiety on a scale, my anticipation would be at 100! (What? 100?!!) Yeah~... See, even if you think you can "do anything", unless you get your ass in gear and do it, you can't do anything... (So seriously, 100? What?!!) Hehe. First, I felt that before I thought up the rules, I basically had to actually go try it out. Even if I could imagine the movements in my mind, the theme of RING was gonna be 'a sport you could actually play'... So rather than start grumbling, I had to go and actually experience it myself... But look now, this should be a given, but RING isn't a sport that actually exists in the world so of course the RING you use in Ring also doesn't actually exist. So, I had my first hurdle to overcome! First I needed to find that "Ring"!! Continued on Page 235~

Okay, I finally managed to get 2 chapters done in a day. Just 2 left. I just might be able to finish them before Jump comes back. That'll feel so good to finally have this done.
[Ring 22 Translation by Kewl0210] Page 133: Ref: With a score of 4 to 4, the match of Yamalawa Academy VS Anri High School is a draw!! Guys: Thank you very muuuuch!! Title: Ring22: Reunion with Rivals...! Hayami: Huu...... To be honest, I didn't think you guys would've made it this far......... Ootake! Ken: Same. You guys were in top-form as always...... Work on those occasional coordination mistakes. Hayami: This isn't how it's gonna go at the Inter-High preliminaries. Ken: Yeah, that's my line. SFX: GUH
Page 134: Daimon: ......... SFX: AAAA Daimon: Things were moving at our pace with a low-scoring game..... I guess it hurt getting only 4 points in the end..... ......... If it had gone into extended time, it would've been an easy victory for us...... Yamagaku had no stamina left...... But still, their wills didn't break all the way to the end............ Saori Yousuke. His presence made a big difference..... SFX: GLANCE
Page 135: Daimon: Him being even more active in the game than Aka... was a major miscalculation on our part... Fuji-sensei... you've picked up some good talent... SFX: NYARI (GRIN) Daimon: ......! NUKU... I'll win next time...! ["win" in bold.] Somebody: Now then, after a 10-minute intermission we'll move right along to the B-Team match!

Sum: I don't need no stinkin' intermissioooon!! I feel like I've been hibernating this whole time!! And I'm the friggin' protagonist!! ["hibernating" big/bold.] Toki: Okay, we get it. Fuji: Aka-kun... Aka: ! Fuji: Please lower your head to Date-kun and the other team's supervisor. If possible I'd like you to appear on the B-Team...... Aka: ......Sensei...
Page 138: Daimon: It's fine, Aka-kun. Pick your head up. You're still young... Sometimes you blow your lid. But it can't be like that in an official match... understand? Aka: Isu. Daimon: This is a practice match, so I don't mind if you're on the B-Team... Also Yamagaku doesn't have many players. The B-Team will probably have a hard time without you. Date: Hey, apoligize to me, too, Aka. Aka: ........ Sorry. Date: Give a real apology!!! Handwritten: Lower your head!!
Page 139: Girl: Oh, isn't that enough, Kaori-kun? How 'bout you forgive him? Date: ! Manager! Aka: ! Handwritten: Huh? Aka: Uh...... Wait, what...... Don't tell me...... the Anri manager that you were talkin' about at the youth training camp...... Date: Hm... Oh, yeah, that's her. This is Higemi-san. T/N: Hige = beard. SFX: HISO HISO (Whispering) Date: What do ya think...? A lot cuter than Yamagaku's manager, right? ["cuter" in a weird font.] Aka: Maaan, you're kidding me ri~~~ght?!!!

Page 129: Narration: The offense and defense that both teams obstinately staked their pride on They were even more intense and performed on an even higher level than in the first half----- Both teams maintained their levels of concentration at the max and didn't let them drop. The remaining game time alone quietly decreased... Everyone thought the game might end like this at 28 minutes into the 2nd half...... Of course, that man was the impetus for it all. From one of Saori's sharp attacks, he passed it to Ootake who was unmarked for an instant and without missing a beat, Ootake drove it directly into the goal, miraculously trying Anri's score to a tie at the eleventh hour... And from there......

Page 106: Starburst: Shimabu's Top: Thought up all on my own.... Rules of Ring! ~Really Broad~ ■Shooting ○An ordinary shoot simply scores one point, but if it's shot outside the goal line, it's called a "bonus shot". If you score one of these, you get a one-point free-throw (bonus). Also, originally I drew the story without that rule and instead had a "great shot" that was shot from your own territory to the center line. If you scored this, then you were given 3 free-throws as a bonus. And then there was a "victory shot" that was shot from within your own goal area. If by some amazing feat you were able to score this, you would be given 5 free-throws. Using those rules, Summer getting a "great shot" in the end would've been plenty, but to be honest this was an author's mistake (Gahaha!)... So, uh, please forgive that I ended up making this shot in the end of that match. (That can't be~~) Well, yeah... [On the right] ...So there are more detailed rules, but what I have here are really rough so... this has been the thought up all on my own rules! These really are all things I just made up, so I won't be accepting any complaints like "Isn't that part kinda weird?!" so, sorry. Nahaha... [The ! after "rules" is white with a drop shadow. There's a drawing after the "so sorry" sentence.

Toki: Was that last play that bad...? Asuka: Anri's demon supervisor is famous throughout the country...... SFX: GOOOO Asuka: Though apparently if you do a proactive play, even if you mess up, he won't say anything... But if you're negligent of something fundamental or do a play that's even a little bit fainthearted, then they say he starts screaming like he's suddenly a different person.

SFX: PIIIII Narration: As soon as the 2nd half started, Anri commenced with presses and fast attacks even more furious than the 1st half... Kuri: UO! Narration: and cut through in one bust. Kuri: Do these guys... have unlimited stamina...?! Daimon: We can run for a full 60 minutes. The first half was a warm-up exercise for us... Aka: Don't make light of us!
Page 103: Date: Mu? SFX: BAH Date: UWA t to wa a AH Aka: ! Ref: Number 9, Aka, charging!! SFX: PIPIH DODO Aka: Huh?! Heeeeey!! What the hell! I didn't even touch him!! Where're you looking, ref?!! Somebody: Hey, Aka, you idiot, stop!! Date: Huhu...... Away games are tough, ain't they...? Aka-chan...! SFX: BUCHI
Page 104: Date: !! SFX: GOH Aka: !! Guys: YWAAA! He punched hiiiim!! Red card!! Out of the gaaaame!! For unsportsmanlike conduct, Aka is charged with being pulled from the game!! Aka: ......!
Page 105: Izumi: That goddamn idiooooooot!!! Hayami: Okay! In a way, that was just according to plan...! But I didn't expect him to actually punch him...... Date: Geh~~~~... Hey, I told you, didn' I?! That guy's an idiot! Fuji: ........... Geez... Daimon: All right... With Aka out of the way, this game's ours. Yamagaku has no one on Aka's level to substitute him with...! Fuji: Are you all warmed up? SFX: PON Fuji: Saori-kun? You: Yessir!
Page 106: Starburst: Shimabu's Top: Thought up all on my own.... Rules of Ring! ~Really Broad~ ■Malicious Fouls ○While retaining the ring, if you are not actively trying to go on the offensive, performing actions that clearly delay the game, foul an opponent in too dangerous a way, or perform a foul that clearly prevents a point from being scored, then by the referee's discretion, that player can be shown a yellow card as a warning. (You aren't allowed to verbally abuse someone, either.) ○If a player that's been shown a yellow card performed another malicious foul, the referee will issue a 2nd yellow card. In other words, a red card. That player can be pulled from the game (Like in soccer). Once a player has been removed from the game they cannot stand on the court again. Also, as a penalty to that team, they will not be able to replenish with a replacement player for 5 minutes. ○If there is any vehemently unsportsmanlike conduct clear to anyone watching, then the referee can skip showing that player a yellow card and can immediately give them a red card, removing them from the game. ■Free-Throws ○If there is a foul by the defense within the goal area, the offensive side is given one free-throw. In such a situation, the free-throw is thrown from the free-throw line and must be performed within 5 seconds of the referee blowing his whistle. https://mangahelpers.com/t/kewl0210/releases/40878[English] [Translation] Ring 19 by kewl02102015-01-10T05:09:53+00:00kewl0210admin@mangahelpers.com

Chugging along here. I'm not getting one done every day but I'm getting them done. One more to finish the 1st half of V3.
[Ring 19 Translation by Kewl0210] Page 53: Ken: All riiiight, let's do this!! Guys: Right! Hayami: Allllll right, let's get started! SFX: ZAH Someone: Now then, the match of Yamakawa Academy VS Anri High School will now bebgin! Title: Ring19: National Level
Page 56: SFX: PURU... PURU... (Quivering) Sum: H..... HAAAAANG ON A MINUUUUUTE! Time, time!! Asuka: Wh... What's goin' on, Summer-kun? Sum: Supervisooooor! Why am I not on that team?! Huh?! That's messed up, ain't it? There's definitely something wrong here, right?! Fuji: Nothing's wrong. Sum: Nothing's wrong?! You: You're such a dang moron. There's no way in hell somebody who's only played Ring for around a month would get picked. Sum: WHAAAAT?!! Handwritten: AAAAH Fuji: Once you see the match, you'll understand, Summer-kun.
Page 58: Daimon: It was feared that Yamagaku's era may be coming when Ootake-kun and his grade entered the school 2 years ago... Now they're 3rd years... And they have the genius Aka on top of that. We'll really need to pay attention to this year's Yamagaku... If we underestimate them, we'll be devoured...!! Guy: It'll be fi~~~ne. We're a championship team this year! Yamgaku's no match for us, Supervisor! Daimon: You idiot! Carelessness and pride bring about defeat! Anyhow, is Ikki here yet? Noda: Looks like he overslept... He said he'd be here around an hour late... Box: Anri High School 2nd Year Noda Chigusa Daimon: Geez... What's our A-Team regular doing...... This is seriously getting me on edge...
Page 59: Guys: The game will now begin! With *Yamagaku's ring...!! Asterisk: *This is determined by coin-toss (Like soccer). Guy: Throw-off!! SFX: PIIIIH Sum: Oh! It's starting!!
Page 60: Guys: Go, go, let's go, let's go, Anri!! Go, go, let's go, let's go, Anri!!! Move, move, Anri!! Move, move, Anri!!! Push, push, Anri!! Push, push, Anri!!! Toki: O...... Ooh, awesome...... So that's what national-level cheers are like...? Handwritten: Move, move, Anri! Push, push, AnrI! Toba: And man, they have wa~~~~y more people than we do...
Page 61: Izumi: Hey, you guys, don't just stand there admiring, let's hear some voices! We can't let them beat us!! Toba: G... Go get 'e~~m, Yamagaku~~~!! Sum: Keh. So lame. I'm not doin' that... Izumi: Heey, Summer! You alone can leave!! Sum: A~~~~ugh, geez!! Okay!! Hey, the opposing pitcher's scaaaaared!! The pitcher's shakin' in his boots!! Yeah, yeah, yeah!! Toki: What sorta cheer is that? Ken: Ooooookay, let's go! Aka! SFX: SHU Aka: Hoi!
Page 62: SFX: SU... SFX: SHURURURU
Page 63: SFX: GYURURURU KUI SFX: FUWA Aka: All.... righty. How 'bout you guys show me what you've got?!
Page 64: Date: So Aka's the commander...? Guy: Both of you check him! Date! Kouzou! Miki: Yes, sir! Aka: Kuri-san, I can carry this on my own. Kuri: ! You sure? Aka: Yeah, it's no problem! Hoh! SFX: KURUKURU Izumi: Don't play around, Aka!! He's coming!! Aka: ! SFX: ZAH
Page 66: Toba: They're covering him really fast!! Toki: Er, how'd Aka-senpai even get past that first guy...?! You: ...It was a foul... Toki: Huh? You: By using just the right amount of force and with just the right angle, the ref didn't see it but he pulled the guy's arm for an instant. I was dirty, but good... Date: ............ Your plays like that are what piss me off... SFX: ZUOOOO Date: Foul-tarou..... Aka: I wish you'd just call it a really tight play...... If the whistle doesn't blow, it's a good play.
Page 67: Date: You ain't takin' a single step past me...!! Aka: Heh. I'm gonna leave you in the dust...!! Kuri: Don't stop running, Aka!! Look out behind you!! Aka: !! Somebody: He's surrounded!! It's an "Othello"!! SFX: WAH
Page 68: Sum: Othello? Asuka: Yeah. In Ringh when ya get caught between two players like that, it's called "Othello". It's the position where the ring gets stolen most often from. 'Cause a person can't see behind them. Ken: Follow him up, Kuri!! Carry it together!! Aka: Damn. What a pain in the ass.
Page 69: SFX: DON Date: MUO
Page 70: Aka: RAA Date: UWAAA! He went straight through!!! ["UWAAA" big.] Guy: H... He's so fast!!!! Yumi: Woaaaah! He forced his way out of that pincer!! Izumi: Nice! Now throw it, fast, Aka!! Aka: Uoh?!
Page 71: Aka: For real?! Maaaaan, I'm really cornered now!! SFX: ZAH Misugi: It's insane how fast backup came!! Toki: Did they predict that he'd get past them?!! Izumi: This is Anri High School's Active Press. Breaking through this defense alone is a herculean task...... That's why I told him to throw it fast. Fuji: Mm...... Well that's because Anri's team has great defense...... The only choice here is to get around them with a pass. But we've got "height"... His pass should make it...!
Page 72: Guy: Aka! Throw it in front of the goal!! Misugi: Ooh! Oono-san's 188cm tall so he can get over them!! SFX: DAH Misugi: We've got tall guys in the middle, Yamagaku!! It's a battle in front of the goal!! Aka: Ma~~~~n, this lineup. We can score first with this! SFX: BIH
Page 73: Guy: It's up in front of the goal!! Both teams are gonna grab for it!! Hayami: We're at a height disadvantage! Don't all jump at the same time!! Guys: UOH! SFX: BABAH Oono: YEAAAAAAH!! Somebody: UWAaA! Yup, Yamagaku's got it!! Now shoot, Oono!! Oono: All right! Hayami: Now, jump!!
Page 74: Guy: Uoh! Oono: Muh! SFX: GAH BAH Somebody: Aaaah! He fumbled it! Aw man! Quick, grab it! Ishi: UORAH! Somebody: Nice, Ishige!! Watch out below you! Pressure!! SFX: UOH SFX: ZUDA Ishi: -----Hyup! SFX: BYU
Page 77: Guys: UWAAAA! They took iiiiiiiiit!!! Th... Their defenses are good!!! Hayami: That's it, run!! Ken: Baaaaack!! Guys: UOO!! Anri's Fast!! SFX: DON
Page 78: Guys: BAAAAAAAAM!! Uwaaaaaa! They scooored!!! Anri takes the first point!! Guys: All riiiiight! Nice one!! Ou! That's one point!! Misugi: A... Aah...... They scored on us... TOki: What intense speed... You: And that's not all... before that, with their defense... they seriously never give up...!!
Page 79: Izumi: A swift attack from an iron defense... Anri's speciality form has shown itself...! Daimon: If all you want is to get the single point in front of your eyes, you just need to hone your attack power... but if you want to keep winning matches and go after titles, it's a different story...... What you need most of all is "defense"...!! Without a stable defense, a king can't make a name for himself......!! Fuji: ........ Ken: So this is national level, huh......? Now they're getting cocky...
Page 80: Starburst: Shimabu's Top: Thought up all on my own.... Rules of Ring! ~Really Broad~ ○Both the offense and defense aren't allowed to touch the poll. Also, you are not allowed to set food inside the goal circle. If the defensive side purposefully touches the poll or steps inside the circle, the offensive side is given 1 free-throw. On the other hand, if the offensive-side performs the same foul, then the defense does a throw-off from the place the foul occurred. ○Blocking the ring in mid-air when it's shot by an opponent is allowed, but once the ring starts to fall in mid-air, if the right is higher than the height of the poll (3 meters) that ring can not be touched (Like interference in basketball). However, just like in basketball, if a teammate of the player that shot the ring is close to the goal, they can catch it and shoot it straight-away (Like an alley-oop in Basketball). ○When switching in and out players, if the subbing-in player is standing on the courst before player subbing-out has not passed the sub line or is in any way not completely out of the court, it is a foul (A sub-referee always checks). However, regarding substituting an injured player, by the main referee's discretion, the injured player can leave the court by whatever sideline is closest.

Toki: We are pretty deep in the mountains...... Asuka: Tha's true... It's a country school after all. Anri's "Ring Team" is famous nationwide, ya know... Izumi: They're really selective... Not just anybody can get onto the famed Anri Ring Team. Only the best players from around the country are allowed to join. But still, apparently from 1st to 3rd year the team comprises of over 120 people. Guys: A... A hundred and twenty?!

Page 9: Izumi: Well, they sure are motivated, but...... Handwritten: Sheesh... Izumi: But sometimes those two really choose the wrong direction...... Fuji: Mm... Tokita-kun looks good among the beginners... Izumi: ! Do you think we could use him in the match...? Fuji: Yes...... He's getting the hang of *pass-and-go naturally, and he has basic stamina as well... He's able to see the area around him pretty well, and he has good senses for passing...... Asterisk: *To run at the same time as passing. A fundamental move during the flow of a game. Asuka: Ah! Apparently Tokita-kun plays basketball, Supervisor. Fuji: Oh, is that so...? A game of ring lasts 60 minutes over the course of two halves and it's a sport where you're running almost constantly... So even alternate players have to have some degree of endurance or they won't be usable in-game... Izumi: We may be able to use Tokita-kun for the full game on the B-Team... ......What do you think about Summer, Sensei? Fuji: Hm?
Page 10: Fuji: We can use him. Well, not in the full game, though. Izumi: Huuuuuh?! Seriously?! Well... Uh...... Do you mean as a tactic for victory? Handwritten: Or just to give him experience? Fuji: What a silly question... There's no reason besides to win... Izumi: B... But Sensei, that Summer kid still doesn't even have all the rules memorized... Fuji: Huh? ........... He doesn't? Izumi: Yes. For the most part. Fuji: That really may... be bad... SFX: HMMM Sum: Huuuuuh?! Why?!
Page 11: Sum: Why am I the only one in a study session?!! The rules of Ring......? What? There are tests like that? Since when have I been roped into some competitive entrance exams? Izumi: You idiot! Not for a test, for the "match"! Do you seriously think you can be in the match without knowing the rules? These are Fuji-sensei's orders... Now cooperate and learn the rules. Sum: I don' wanna~~~~~ I ha~~~~te studying! There's no way I could learn all tha~~~~t!! Izumi: Unless you learn them, not only can you not be in the match, you're not even allowed in practice!! Fuji-sensei's orders!! Sum: Gu... Aka: What's this now? You challenged me without even knowing the rules? Kinda running down idiot-street at full speed, ain'cha? Sum: Shut uuup! You've got sideburns like Lupin!! Asuka: Summer-kun, I'll teach ya! How 'bout we learn together? Sum: GYAAAAAA!! Ashuka-senpyaaaaa!!! SFX: BUSHU Aka: Heh?!! What is Ring again?!! Aw ma~~~~n, I think I totally forgot all the ru~~~les..... Asuka: ..... Izumi: You liar! And you call yourself a certified athlete for all of Japan?!! Sum: Hm~~... SFX: HAA HAA
Page 12: Sum: What the fuck is this? Who is this guy...? Book: Oliver Michael Jr. Ring Rules Manual Foreigner: You, too, can make great progress! Asuka: That was the only rule book we had in our Team Room...... Izumi: Make sure you learn 'em all, okay, Summer!! These are Fuji-sensei's orders, remember!! Sum: What the hell, geez... Just how great is that Supervisor......? That big-chinned Supervisor of ours... Asuka: ! Ah, right! Summer-kun!! How 'bout we go ta tha book store?! I know a way better rulebook, let's go buy one! Sum: Huh?
Page 13: Sum: Hey, hey, is this..... Could it be...... Aw-Aw maaaan!! It is, isn't it?!!! It's a date!!! A friggin' date!!! [Both "date" big.] It's a date!!!! It's seriously totally a date!!!! This is a daaaaaate! [All "date" big] -------Hey, who brought you along, Toki?!! That's not supposed ta happen! Toku: Er... Well, senpai did... SFX: BIH Sum: What do you mean, senpai...? Read between the lines, man. Toki, dammit...... This would normally be Asuka-senpai and me's you-know-what. Toki: We, well ya see...... Aka: They're going to the bookstore just the two of them?!! I will never allow it!! I'm going, too!! Ken: No way. You've gotta practice. Aka: GUAAAAA! We can't just let them do thaaaat! At least make somebody else go with 'em!! They can't be alooooone!!
Page 14: Asuka: Them how 'bout Tokita-kun?! Toki: Huh? Asuka: Will you come with us for a bit? Toki: So like I said...... I didn't have much of a choice...... Sum: Hmph. Okay, fine! I guess better you than Aka-chin, Saori or somebody like that...... Toki: Saori said that if he's got time for stupid crap like that he should be practicing...... Asuka: Tha's cause he's a practice nut...... Toki: Ah... Right. Senpai.. Asuka: Hm? Toki: I've been wanting to ask this for a while now... why'd your little brother come to this school?
Page 15: Asuka: Huh? You mean Yousuke? Sum: ! Toki: Uh...... Well...... To be honest, from watching him in practice, he's on a whole different level from the other 1st years...... He seems like somebody who would get some attention on the prefectural-level for this year's rookies... Asuka: Er~~~~ I dunno about tha~~~t. Sum: No way in heeell! I think I'd garner way more attention between the two of us... Toki: Er, it's not like...... I think Yamagaku's Ring Team is bad or anything...... but it seems like a scout or somebody from a better school would come for him... So I'm asking why he decided to come here......? Sum: Ain't it obvious? Because it's closest to his house! Toki: That's the reason you came here!! ["you" in italics.]
Page 16: Asuka: If you asked...... how many siblings're in our family...... Sum: ! Asuka: I'd answer three... I have a... brother two years older than me... ........... Yeah..... I've got... I've got an older brother......
Page 17: Sum: Asuka...... Toki: Senpai? Asuka: Though year before last...... he turned into a star...... Weird, right......? It was so sudden..... A car accident...... Yeah..... Um..... So, uh...... I don't have a big brother anymore..... I'm... really sorry, guys... I know how weird this sounds... But...... But...
Page 18: Asuka: When I'm asked how many siblings are in my family I still answer three...... I'm the 2nd of 3 siblings...... I always say... I dunno why... I can't say it... I can't say we're only 2 siblings.
Page 19: Asuka: I've got a big brother... In my heart I've got a big brother... And he's still alive... Sum: -----... Asuka... Senpai...... Asuka: Ah, I'm... Sorry...... I just...... I... really loved by big brother...... SFX: EGU GUSU Toki: Was your big brother..... on the Yamagaku Ring Team? Asuka: ............ Oh, geez...... Tokita-kun..... you're just too clever......
Page 20: Asuka: Big Brother's dream...... was to conquer nationals with the Yamagaku Ring Team... I...... Just wanted to make that dream come true somehow... Toki: So that's why you became the manager, Asuka-senpai......? And that's why he...... Asuka: Yousuke won' say it out loud, but... He always used to fight with big brother... He'll probably say he just picked Yamagaku because it was nearby...... But he blew off every one of the many scouts that came... and just went to Yamagaku for no reason......? If he wanted to play Ring, there were lots of better schools he could've gone to... He's not always honest, that Yousuke... But...... I think Yousuke liked our big brother most've all... Makes sense, right...? Being an older brother 'n a younger brother... Toki: ............
Page 21: Toki: So that's... the cause of Saori's utterly stoic attitude towards Ring...... and his reason for choosing Yamagaku, huh.....? But... I kinda feel bad. I make you remember something so unpleasant... Asuka: Ah, it's okay... Sum: I'b na~~~wt oga~~~y~~~!! Toki: Uwah!!! SFX: ORO ORO GUSU... Sum: Ashuka-senpai... I can't believe you went through something like that...... That made me sorta... remember my deceased dad... Asuka: Huh? Your dad became a star, too...?! SFX: AAAAAA Toki: But your dad isn't dead! Sum: But he did leave home!! We've got the not being at home anymore part in common, right?! Toki: No, not right! Dying and leaving home are totally different!! Sum: No, they're really similar!! Toki: And he left home because those various circumstances, right?! Sum: But he's still not there, dangit!! Asuka: ..........
Page 22: Sign: Nakano Bookstore Sum: Huuuuh?! Sign: Books Sum: No way?! Toki: Is this for real?! That's our supervisor, ain't it/!! That chin wrote a freakin' book?!! Asuka: Uh, yeah... Handwritten: Chin...? Asuka: Fuji-sensei's a former Ring player. Apparently he went into club team coaching after he retired...... Sum: Whu~~~~~h? He was always talking like he was so great, but he really was an great guy... Asuka: He's actually a real amazing person... Toki: But this book... It's a first edition that was printed 10 years ago, it looks like...... Handwritten: It didn't sell at all...
Page 23: Sum: Hm? Asuka: Okay, so how 'bout we buy this to learn the rules, Summer-kun? Sum: .............. Guy: Aaaah, hey, yoooou!! Guys: Hm? Guy: Thieeeeef!! Shoplifteeeer!! Somebody stop him!! Call the police!! He's running outside!! Sum: Oh. SFX: KYAAA
Page 24: Toki: There's a shoplifter! Summeeeer!! Sum: Just leave that ta me!! Stupid thief... You sure have shitty luck to have done that when I happened to be here!! Asuka: Go get 'im, Summer-kun! Guy: That thief was a student, wasn't he?! Did you call the police? Toki: You should be fine. Guys: ! Apron: Books. Toki: That perm-haired guy that just ran out... can catch him. Guys: Kya! Wa!

Page 28: Starburst: Shimabu's Top: Thought up all on my own.... Rules of Ring! ~Really Broad~ ■Throwing ○When the ring crosses a sideline, the opposing team to whomever the last player to touch it throws it in to resume play. In this situation, only after the referee has signaled that the ring has crossed the sidelines, can play resume without waiting for the referee's signal. ○The point the ring is thrown in from is the location where the ring crossed the line, but if the Ring crossed an end line then the throw point is the point where the end line and sideline meet (In soccer terms, the "corner"). ○When throwing in, the player doing the throwing cannot step on the line. Also, the opposing team must be 5 or more meters away from the player throwing in.
■Fouls ○It is against the rules to do any dangerous actions such as block an opponent's path with a hand, arm, or leg, grab an opponent's arm, charge into them, purposefully collide with them, or trip them. Any such actions are considered a foul. The team that was fouled is does a throw-off from that location to resume play.https://mangahelpers.com/t/kewl0210/releases/40866[English] [Translation] Ring 16 by kewl02102015-01-05T14:15:33+00:00kewl0210admin@mangahelpers.com

Okay, I did it! I finished V2. Way before Jump came back. Ok so now I’ll take on the challenge of trying to get through to the end of V3 by the time Jump comes back, I guess. Why not, right? I do really like this series even if it is short. When it’s not super-wordy I really like it.
[Ring 16 Translation by Kewl0210] Page 181: Sum: The last one...... What do you say that if I score that "Rodem"... [First sentence big/bold.] I win the whole thing? Aka: This guy...... Okay, I get it... Narration: This guy's like me----- Title: Ring16: A Brief Defeat...
Page 182: Title: Ring16: A Brief Defeat... Aka: He's got an "allergy to losing", huh...?!!
Page 183: Ken: Allergy to losing? Toki: Yeah... He hates losing so bad it's like an allergy to Summer. Ken: What the hell? Toki: Even when we lose in that scrimmage match a month ago, he got hives all over his body and couldn't get a proper sleep for a week, apparently. Guys: Hu~~~h? For real? Yumi: ......Why's Summer still hate losing so bad...? Ken: Well, "not liking to lose" is a kind of talent. Izumi: I think he had quite some talent the moment he decided to challenge Aka. Toki: ......... Ishi: Isn't he just a moron then? Guys: Basiclly. SFX: HAHAHAHAHA
Page 184: Aka: All right, Summer, sure. If you get the last throw, you win... Sum: For real?! Aka: Yeah... If you can get it, that is... Also it's not rodem it's rodeo. ["rodem" and "rode" in italics.] Sum: Huhhhuhhu. Aka-chin... I can hear the footsteps of "regret"... heading straight for you... Aka: You moroooon! I should be the one saying that! You'd have been better off just accepting your defeat and moving on. Now you're just gonna lose in a way that'll be even harder to watch, Summer! Aka: Me or you, Aka-chin? Whose shoulders is regret sliding its arms around? Aka: Hurry it up. This is stupid.
Page 185: Sum: ............ Aka: ! SFX: SU... Aka: What sorta stance is that...? SFX: PU Hm? Sum: ......... I'm pretty sure...... it was like this...... He threw it with a sorta outward pushing motion...

Page 191: Aka: It's a complete defeat for you... Summer. ............ As a reaction to his defeat-allergy... he'll probably feel like he wants to run out of here right now......... ! Toki: Hm? Asuka: Huh? What's SUmmer-kun doin'? Bubble: Why's he laying down somewhere like that?
Page 192: Sum: AUUAAAAAAAH!!! Aka: oAUAAH!! Sum: Ashuka-senpai! [Heart] Toki: Huh? Sum: Where'dja gooowww this whole time?! Asuka: Ah... Well......

Hey, Summer... I get that you hate losing, but seriously... Sum: Don't get the wrong idea, Aka-chin. I accept my defeat. Toki: Summer... Sum: As I am now, I can't beat you no matter what I do... It's my utter defeat... This time... that is. ["This time" big.] Aka: Ah? This time?
Page 194: Sum: Nobody said that this was a one-round match... In other words, we're still only part-way through it... Aka: Part-way?! Sum: Someday, I'm definitely gonna beat you and it'll end with my victory...!! So prepare yourself, Aka-chin! Okaaaaay, Ashuka-senpai, lesson time! Let's have a lesson with some new horizons! Handwritten: New horizons? Is that English? Aka: He really is a little kid... Just a selfish 5-year-old... Ken: Okaaay, practice! I want a 30-meter dash and 5 sets going there and back! 2 at a time!

Hurry it up, slowpokes!! Okay, Sensei! I'm #1! In Bubble: In gathering here. Handwritten: Shut up, Summer! Fuji: Hn...... Okay... SFX: ORAA SASA
Page 197: Guys: Uhhhh..... With Aka-kun back with us now, we're finally now coming up on the inter-high prefectural preliminaries... So for our final preparation, I've setup a practice match. Guys: !! Practice match?! For real?!! Ken: Who're we against, Sensei? Fuji: Anri High School! Guys: Anriiii?! Those guys are good!! Anri got 2nd in the prefecture last year, didn't they?! Handwritten: Oh no! Sum: Wha's that? Is that good? You: Yeah, they're good. Anri High School... They've gone to nationals representing Shizuoka Prefecture a bunch of times in the past. They're a famous "Ring" school...! Handwritten: Even I got an invitation from them at one point...
Page 198: Aka: A... Anri~~~ Those basta~~~rds. SFX: PIKU PIKU (Tension) Guy: Anri... aren't they the ones with Date? Yumi: Yeah, their forward, Date, is famous. Handwritten: Super famous Aka: Heey!! Don't say that name out loud!! SFX: BIH Guy: Hm? Yumi: ...Ah! Oh yeah, Red, Date was in the youth training camp with you, right? Fuji: I heard that when you got that hand injury... the person you were fighting with was Date-kun, yes...? I heard all about that, Aka-kun... I can't tell you how much I had to apologize to the staff afterwards... Yumi: No waay! You got in a fight with Date?! Man you're brave! Guy: You're really something, Red!! Aka: That's one guy I'll never forgive! OO~~kay, I'm really fired up now! I'm gonna beat that Date asshole black and blue!! Izumi: Don't fight, Aka. Fuji: The match is in 10 days... We'll be playing at Anri High... SFX: DOKI DOKI Sum: A...... A ma~~tch...? SFX: DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI
Page 199: Sum: A... Aw ma~~n, Ashuka-senpai! I've gotten really doki-doki all of a sudden~~! Handwritten: I'm so nervou~~s! SFX: DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI Aka: Uh, you're not gonna be in the game no matter what. So no point in getting nervous. SFX: DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI Aka: Shut the hell up, Aka-chiN!! If I get a butt-load of experience points in 10 days and level up, I could still be in it!! Aka: You could what...? This ain't friggin' Dragon Quest, idiot!! I'm tellin' ya, nothing's gonna change in 10 days!! Sum: What'd you say?!! There's gonna be some dramatic changes!! Aka: No there won't!! Izumi: Oh, here they go again... Fuji: The match... will have a match against the A-teams of regulars as well as a match against two B-teams made up of supplementary players. So there'll be 2 matches taking place... Sum: Hoh? Aka: 2 matches? Fuji: To be honest, it'll be quite a problem for the A-Team, but... For the B-Team, there's quite a possibility you could be in the B-team match, Summer-kun. Sum: Right?! I can be in the A-Team, can't I?! [First sentence big/curly font.] Aka: Not the A-team, moron!! In fact you're not even gonna be in the B-Team!!
Page 200: Sum: Yes I wiiiill!! Aka: No you wooon't!! Sum: Yes I will!! Aka: You friggin' won't!! Sum: I will!!! Aka: No ya won't!!! Guys: ...... Sum: Goddammi~~~~t! That bastard Aka-chi~~~~n! I'm definitely gonna get better and join the A-Team, dammi~~t!! Toki: Na~~~w. There's really no way you can be on the A-Team right off the bat. Sum: You're supposed to be on my side, Toki! Toki: .............. Anyhow, this is the first time I've heard that, Summer... Sum: Ah? Heard what?
Page 201: Toki: Heard you ever say the words "It's my utter defeat". Was getting beaten so badly actually kinda refreshing? Sum: Wha...... No frickin' way!! That was an instant, 15-seconds of frustration max...!! ["15 seconds" big/weird font.] Toki: Is that a lot? But...... Good on you not losing your nerve and crying, Summer. Sum: Hm? Yeaaaaah... I guess so......... Hey, Toki! When you throw a ring, how do you feel when it goes in the goal? Toki: Huh? Sum: I mean the moment you get a ringer... ["moment" in italics.] Ain'cha crazy happy? Just, simply speaking! How do ya feel? Toki: Uh... Well, I guess I'm happy... Or something...... Sum: With me... I shiver for a second and it goes down my spine... I also get some sorta deja vu-like feeling... So I get this cra~~~~zy good feeling... Toki: Deja vu? Sum: Er... I'm not sure what it is I'm remembering exactly, but... Toki: What're you talking about, man?
Page 202: Sum: Anyhooow... It feels good... And since I feel this good throwing it normally... if I can get good at scoring with all those other kinds of shots... I'll bet that'd feel pretty incredible... Toki: .......... So that's why...? Why you've had that delighted look on your face... Summer, you really may have... Sum: Anyhow! My goal now is to get on the A-Team! Haha... Gonna have to do a whole lotta practicing! Toki: gotten totally addicted to Ring already...
Page 203: SFX: KAH Guys: Did you hear, Sensei? Hm? About the Ring duel that Summer kid had with Aka today. Fuji: No... I didn't hear about that. Izumi: Huhu... Geez... That beginner with 1 month of Ring experience... challenged a genius who's been playing Ring since he was around 5 years old... It was sort of praiseworthy... Fuji: ...... "The Golden Age", do you know the phrase, Izumi...? Izumi: Huh? Yes... In the sports world, that's what they call the elementary-school age where there's remarkable growth of the nervous system... They say it's an important time where what you did in that age highly effects your play once you become an adult.....
Page 204: Fuji: You see, Hanagata-kun... apparently did a lot of "ring-toss" when he was right around that age... Izumi: R...... Ring toss...... sir......? Fuji: While he may not be a match for Aka-kun who's been playing since he was 5... I think there's a high possibility that he has a good "knack" for Ring... Where they are 2 years from now... ["they" italics.] No... I'm really looking forward to seeing them next year... Bottom: [2] RING (End)
Page 205: Top: Shimabu's Story Parentheses: (Until I made Ring (6)) Article: I'm just gonna keep going with these digressions, I guess. Back when I started little-league baseball, I wouldn't use the spiked shoes, I would practice in just regular ones. My uncle told me he would buy me spiked ones when I got 1st place in a foot-race at an athletics festival, so I worked hard and got 1st place at one. And the spiked shoes I got made me so gosh darn happy... I remember really treasuring them. Whether it was a CD or whatever, once I got a part-time job and went out into the world, I always really treasured things I bought with money I earned. But at that time I had a sorta feeling of accomplishment a lot like that. Anyhow, I really treasured them. I really liked Ichirou, so getting to use the tools that Ichirou used during a match (bats and gloves) made me really treasure them, I think. I'd clean them every day and be really thankful to my tools. There are a lot of players that, on a human-level, are really respectful people. Yeah. I seriously can't believe how off-topic I've gotten (hehe). Okay let's go back to talking about manga a little. I thought about a 'ball' as a tool you could get attached to, but that was pretty hard... To be honest here, there really are just too many sports out there that use a ball and everything I came up with was really similar to something that exists. I kept running into stuff where it'd feel like 'It'd be faster just drawing a soccer manga than this~'. So at that point, I threw the idea of a ball out of my head. So I set aside details like the rules and decided to go with illustrations. I though about what the "scene" and the "movements" in that sport would be like. At this point, I set aside the tools too, and tried to imagine a sport based on "moves" that would be cool for a human to do... Bottom: Continued on the next page~
Page 206: Top: Shimabu's Story Parentheses: (Until I made Ring (7)) Article: I think simply the coolness and other stuff you get from the visuals are really important to a manga. Like, even if I came up with a perfectly interesting sport, unless I could make it look interesting in a manga, it would be pretty pointless. So it had to be something cool from a visual perspective... So at that point I started just drawing like crazy in my notebook. Of human movements. Of course using other sports as a reference... And then one day, I can still remember it really well now, I was drawing like I always do at a family restaurant in Okinawa (At that point I was doing names in Okinawa where my family lived) and I had an idea. In many sports, you have a ball that you throw overhand, right? In handball they have passing from your shoulder, too, but basically you usually throw them like a baseball. There are very few sports that go the other way where you start inside and release it going outward... I thought. There are the throws you have in basketball and handball, but what I was imagining was more like how you throw a frisbee. When I tried throwing a frisbee myself, the feeling of it flying from you felt really good. It had that fun-to-throw sorta feel... (Something like that, I don't totally understand it.) So I tried drawing a "pass" with a frisbee, and I could make it look really cool as an illustration. But as for making a game, I couldn't think of anything beyond that... Like how you scored points, how you would dribble, that sorta thing. I thought maybe there's nothing I can do besides a touchdown like in American football? But then you've got the frisbee itself... I hit a lot of walls, but then I had an idea.
Page 207: Top: Shimabu's Story Parentheses: (Until I made Ring (8)) Article: What if I put a "hoop" through the middle of the frisbee...? Hey, a frisbee is basically a flat plate, right? So I'll gouge out the center. But if I do that, then it won't fly that way (like a frisbee normally does), will i~t? I thought. Then how about I just forget the frisbee and make it just a hoop? Something like a hula hoop... Yeah, the original idea for the rings was a hula hoop. Right, the ones you spin around your waist. I spent forever on the idea of if you make a hula hoop spin towards you when you throw it, it comes back to you (You know what I mean, right?). There are a lot of hoop-related sports in gymnastics, right? Those are simple and interesting and I did them a lot in elementary school. And I really had a lot more fun throwing them and getting them to come back to me than I did making them spin around my waist (hehe). Okay, so what if I try having only one hoop? I had that helpful idea and so I tried drawing lots of "moves" of using that hoop in my notebook. The result was 'Man, I sure can draw a lot of moves with this~'. There was a larger degree of freedom than there was with a frisbee, plus you could roll it on the ground... Using a hula-hoop it got in the way in the drawings a lot of the time, so I tried making it a bit smaller. And you could do the nutmeg move where it goes under someone's legs, too. I came up with all these scenes where you dribbled it or passed it past an opponent, so I got to thinking this could be pretty good... And I chuckled to myself alone at a family restaurant (What a weirdo... hehe). I guess the idea I had somewhere in me from the beginning, within the idea of a team sport playing on a field doing that sorta dribbling and passing was pretty strong. But you can't do that sorta thing with a hoop, I thought. Bottom: Continued on the next page~
Page 208: Top: Shimabu's Story Parentheses: (Until I made Ring (9)) Article: Okay, next was the question of the "goal". How do you score points in this game...? Yeah, thinking back on it now, since you were using a hoop it seems inevitable that the goal would be a "poll", right? I think the reason it seems that way is because we now have the fictional story of 'RING' in its entire complete form, but back then nothing really came to mind. I really stressed over it. Anyhow, I kept thinking. And I then what I came up with finally was barely anything, just that "rod" (hehe). I remember it now, the moment the poll came into my mind it felt like I'd conquered the world. I was a real idiot. I mean, after that I thought 'Ah, oh yeah, the "ring-toss" exists, doesn't it?! Yeah, let's try doing a ring-toss on a field in a competitive way!' I thought. Yes, 'RING' was not something I started on as a ring-toss and then arranged it into a sport, it was something that I thought of from a ton of other things and then I realized that what I had was like a big version of a ring-toss. I know I'm going back and forth with this, but the first idea I had for the goal was a game called 'pole bring-down' that we would play in athletics festivals when I was younger (I don't do it much anymore...). I though of using that sorta huge poll and it was after that that I remembered the idea of the ring-toss. I thought about the idea of shrinking down the hoop and the poll to make them the size of the tools used in an actual ring-toss... and I decided that was no good really so I made 'em bigger... Anyhow in my mind that "hoop" and "poll" were the result of my sweat and teams at this point... Yeah. ...I had gotten so fervent over this that I'd gotten sorta heated (hehe). But anyhow, yeah that's how it went. Yup, I don't think I have enough pages to finish this time, so I'll leave it off here (But it's not the end! Hell no!). Next time we'll have a theme of 'a sport you can actually do in real life' and I'll talk about me actually trying Ring myself. There are still many barriers to overcome. Look forward to it!

I got a fuckton of this done today. To be fair, none of these chapters were like horribly dense like the first few.
[Ring 15 Translation by Kewl0210] Page 155: Sum: Th... The poll loves yooou......? Wha......? Man this guy's got some weird names... Title: Ring15: "Rodeo"...!! Sum: He threw it back?! At this distance---- Aka: Summeeeer!! You ready? Ready to give up on Asuka-chan......? Sum: ......Hmph. I hope you are...
Page 157: Sum: OW~~~~ Ken: You pack of idiots! Aka: Wha~~ What're ya doing, Ken-san?! Ken: I heard about why you're fighting from Saori. Geez... Don't waste our important practice time with stupid bullshit like this...! We need to use this time wisely, we have a big meet coming up...... Aka: No, not at all, general! In a way, this is just as important as a meet! Ken: Quit calling me general... Sum: Heeeey, Saoriiiii!! Okay, listen up, you...! I'm gonna give you some advice as your future big brother!! Don't tattle on other people's business! Saori: Who the heck's a future big brother?! I'd seriously rather that not happen.
Page 158: Ken: Okaaaaaay, practice guys, c'mon!! Do some jogging followed by some spritns!! Then practice in 3-man groups!! Aka: Dammi~~~t! I was finally gonna get my chance to look cool~~~~... Asuka: .........Hoh. I don' really get wha's goin' on, but I'm glad it's over...... In Bubble: Without them fightin'. Miyuki: Heey, Asuka! What're you doing? Aren't you gonna go chance...? Asuka: Ah, right. Sorry, I'll go get ready. Sum: .....Hey! Are you running away, Aka-chan...? Aka: ......Hm? Aka-chan? T/N: Aka-chan, in addition to being a condescending name for a person named Aka, is a word for baby.
Page 159: Sum: So you're stopping because the captain said so...? You sure do what you're told a lot... A real easily taught baby, aren't you? Aka: What'd you say...? Toki: Hey, knock it off, Summeeeer! Sum: Sheddeeeep! The starting gong's already rung! Like hell I can stop now!! Izumi: Give it up, Summeeeer. You can't beat Aka. Not in Ring or in a fight... Sum: You shut up, chinpira coach!! Or chinko, for short!! Izumi: Chinko?! T/N: Chimpira is a hoodlum or a small-time yakuza. Chinko is slang for penis.
Page 160: Sum: This guy was able to imitate my technique that I worked so desperately to learn, the Super-Long Special Great Hurricane Bomber Shoot II......["Super-Long Special Great Hurricane Bomber Shoot II" big/bold/white like in the middle font] like it was nothing......!! Toki: You seriously call it that?!! Sum: And while my pride has let out a scream of pain... I think you've lit the flame of my competitive spirit! Me, the one that hates losing more than anyone else in the world...!! Toki: Aaaaah... This is hopeless. His switch has been totally flicked...... When he gets like this, Summer won't stop until he's won..... Aka: Okay, got it. I understand, Summeeeeer!
Page 161: Aka: Izumi-chan, please give me just 5 minutes. I'll make sure this is over soon. Izumi: ......... Ken: You can just let 'em do it, Izumi-san! Let's get practice started!! Izumi: .....Sheesh. ......... Go ahead, if you want. Let's go, Tokita! Jogging!! Toki: Eh...? But...... Izumi: It'll be an even worse shock if people are watching... Especially for him... Isn't that right? Toki: ...........
Page 162: Aka: Okaaay, then. SFX: ZAH ZAH Aka: It was gonna be a shooting match, right, Summer? Can I just say one thing before we get started? I just can't keep it in any longer. Sum: ! OBUA!! SFX: BAKYA
Page 163: SFX: GAH AKa: Okay, listen up, Summer! SFX: GUI AKa: People calling me Aka-chan gets me way more hyper-pissed than anything else...! Okay?! Don't call me Aka-chan again, you shitty brat...!! Got it? ......Okay then, let's get the match started! SFX: DOH Aka: A... Aa~~~~ that made me feel a bit better~~~ I've been dyin' to punch that guy. Sum: ......... SFX: JI~~N
Page 164: SUm: ............Huh? ......What was that...? How'd I get hit? ......W...... Waih, aht can' be...... Did I say somethin' rash...? Did I really hurt this guy without knowing it? I... I don't really get it, but I'm sorryyyyy! Aka-chin!! Ala: Wh-Who're you calling Aka-chin, dammit!! Sum: Then Kuro-chin!! T/N: -Chin is an affectionate alteration of -chan. Kuro means black, as opposed to Aka meaning red. Guys: ............... What're those two doing...? Yumi: Uh, I think Aka just punched Summer...... Ken: Just ignore 'em. Aka: Okay, Summeeeeeer, We'll do a 5-point "free throw" match! This is your specialty, right? However, I get to decide how we throw them.
Page 165: Sum: Hey, hey, for real? Aka-chi~~~~n, at this point there's no chance at all I'm gonna miss any free throws...... Hm? How we throw it? Aka: There's no way in hell a beginner's gonna beat me... And I'm gonna show you why, Summeeeeer. Here's our first shot... SFX: SU... Aka: This is a throwing style called an "in-throw". It's the most commonly used and most popular style. Most people doing ring tosses and frisbee throw this way... You start with an inward stance then you throw it as you move outward. That's why it's called an "in-throw". Among the many ways to throw, this one's the easiest to control... So you could consider it the easy-style of throwing. SFX: BIH
Page 166: SFX: SUKON Aka: There... You're up next, Summer. Sum: ! Aka: Try to get a ringer with the same shot as me. Sum: An in-throw, huh...? Hmph... that'll be a cinch...! URYA! Aka: Hm...... Pretty good. SFX: SHUH Sum: ORAA!! Didja see that one, Taka-chin?!! It's 1 to 1!! SFX: DOH Aka: The trial starts here, Summeeeeer.
Page 167: Aka: For the 2nd shot, we'll do the opposite of the 1st shot... In other words, we'll take an outward stance, and do an "out-throw"...!! SFX: SU... Sum: Nu...? Aka: They say it's several times more difficult to control than the in-throw... SHIH! SFX: FUWAH SFX: GAH Sum: ............ Aka: Okay, now you give it a try, Summer. SFX: BAIN
Page 168: Sum: N... No problem...!! No matter how you make the throwing style, I haven't got the teensiest intention to miss at this range!! HERE IT GOOOOOOES! Aka: Heey, that's not the throwing style!! ["Heey" big.] Handwritten: HEEY! Sum: Hm? Aka: Here, like this. Sum: Hm? Like this. It's kinda hard to hold it this way... This'll make it 2 to 2!! AWW RIIIGHT! Take theiis!! SFX: UORYAA BUNN
Page 169: Sum: Huh? Aka: GR IN... Okay, next... Sum: Going straight to the next one, you bastard?!! And why the hell were those letters for "grin" so damn big?!! SHI~~~~~~t...... I aimed and everything before I threw it...... but it went in a totally different direction...!! Aka: Then there's the "under-throw" that's released from below. This... is a throw that's actually used pretty often in matches. SFX: SU...
Page 171: SFX: GAH BAM BAM Aka: Okay, next, 4th throw. Sum: ............. Aka: The bounce throw! Literally a throw where the ring bounces. It's a throw used pretty often when you're passing and you wanna get around an opponent, but it's barely ever used when you're shooting. Also you can't really use it on rainy days. We're gonna make this 4th shot the hardest one. You need to concentrate for it...
Page 173: Sum: You piece 'a shiiiit!! Box: Summeeeer, 4th shot---- Sum: BUH SFX: BECHI BAM Narration: Failure---- Sum: A~~~... Aka: ......... Narration: At this point...... it couldn't affect who won or lost, but... they move on to the 5th shot---- Aka: This is the last one, Summeeeer. Narration: Aka's shot would shock anyone...... Aka: I'm gonna show you a throw... totally different from what we've done so far! Sum: !
Page 174: Aka: Normally, no matter how you throw a ring---- SFX: SU... Aka: it will "rotate" the same way... Diagram: Clockwise Counterclockwise Aka: Either clockwise or counterclockwise. But what we're gonna do here is use another kind of "rotation". Where the ring rotates "vertically" from its level position...!! Sum: This is a stance...? How do you throw it...? Aka: It has a sloppier and more wild impression compared to a normal rotation, so----- this throwing style is called a "rodeo throw"... [quote big/bold]
Page 175: Yumi: Hm? Ah... That's... A "rodeo"?! What?! We're gonna get to see Aka's rodeo! Toki: Rodeo...? What's that? Misugi: For real? You: ......... Aka: Here the shot!
page 177: Guys: UOAAaaaaah! He got a ringeeer!! No waaay! How?! That might've been the first time I've ever seen somebody score a rodeo shot in real life!! Awesome! SFX: AAAAAAAAAAA You: ............ On top of that it had a negative rotation... Ken: The fact that he can score a shot like that..... is what's so ominous about Aka...
Page 178: Aka: So basically, Summeeeer, I'm not gonna ask you to try to do that... but remember this. There are dozens of ways to throw a ring besides these, too... You've only mastered 1... no, 0.5 of those. ...That's the whole of it... Aka: P... Point 5 ways?! I can't do all of them but the in-thow I can... Aka: do you have the same control with your left hand? ["left hand" in italics.] Sum: !
Page 179: Aka: Unless you can do the same throw with your weaker hand, you can't do much in an actual match...... By the way I'm actually...... good with my "left hand"...!! [quote bold] So basically, this match---- Sum: Wait. Aka: Hm? Sum: I've...... I've still got this last throw left, ya know... Aka: Huh? What... are you talking about...? Toki: Well..... That's You: Summer for you. Sum: The Rodem, right? ...What do you say about if I score that one... ["right" is the only word not-bold block font.] I win the whole thing?
Page 180: Top: Shimabu's Story Parentheses: (Until I made Ring (5)) Pargraph: Anyhow, what sport was I gonna do... My first idea was, the first thing that'd probably come to mind for anybody, a 'ball game'. There are so many sports that use a ball already, but I still put a lot of effort into coming up with one. Could you do something with a super-ball sort thing where it bounces all over the place? Or maybe go in another direction and use a table tennis ball or a soft-ball tennis ball, some relatively light ball, could I make something like that work? That sorta thing...... I thought the actual tools should be something I'm really familiar with. I don't play the sports you use a soccer ball or a volleyball or a golf ball with, so never used them, but I'm the type who likes to have those things lying around my house (Uh, not sure why that is.). Uh, anyhow, yeah... (Hehe). It felt good when I touched a volleyball, I tried dribbling a soccer ball and I liked standing on and trying to balance on it (I still have no idea what's going on here...). I felt like throwing and kicking things was a pretty instinctual thing. Like if you're in a wide-open space and there's a baseball around, you just wanna throw it. If there's a soccer ball around, you wanna kick it. This is a bit of a digression, but when I was in high school I used to kick volleyballs around in the gym for fun a lot. Volleyballs are light, so if you kick them hard they'll really change shape which I thought was kinda funny. ...Though you don't normally kick a volleyball, so my teachers got mad at me a lot. And sometimes on the train, I'd see those lacrosse... uh, what is it? That rod with the net on the end thing? I'd see groups of people carrying those, but I didn't think just having those and carrying them around was all that interesting. Probably. In baseball just having a glove is kinda boring, too, so I figured you really needed the ball... But when you really like those sports, I think you end up really caring about all the tools...

Ok. I'm gonna try to hopefully finish V2 before Jump starts back up. I think that's doable. Only 2 chapters left after this.
[Ring 14 Translation by Kewl0210] Page 129: Aka: I~~~~~~~~SSU!! I just got back, guys!!! Ken: Hm? Guys: Oh! Title: Ring14: Summer V.S. Aka Guys: Ah! !
Page 130-131: Guys: AKAA!! Red!! Aka!!! Sum: Nu..... Title: Ring14: Summer V.S. Aka Aka: It's been a while! T/N: Aka is Japanese for Red. They're calling him that in English here.
Page 132: Girl: ........... It's okay now, Asuka! It looks like Aka-kun went to the grounds. Asuka: Fer real? Thanks Kasumi. For sheltering me. Kasumi: I know it's a pain, Asuka. He's been following you around everywhere since 1st year, right? Asuka: Yeah~~~~ Darn, I dunno why~~~ Maybe I did somethin' bad to Aka-kun~~~ Kasumi: Uh... C'mon, it's because he likes you... Asuka is super thickheaded about this sorta thing~~ Nobumi: Well, here's what I think. Kasumi: Ah. No... Nobumi!!
Page 133: Nobumi: Aka-kun, you see, without a doubt ultra-hates you, so he's purposefully following you around to drive you out of the club...! ["ultra-hates" big/creepy font] Asuka: Huh? No way! He really does?! Nobumi: Yes! Absolutely! Without a doubt! So you can quit being manager now, Asuka! Or actually, maybe you aught ta quit school all together? Asuka: You're being all malicious again! Nobumi: Anyhow, please refrain from getting in between Aka-kun and me, Asuka! Okay? You got that? Asuka: Ah........................Yes...... I...... really must've done something bad to Nobumi, didn' I......? Kasumi: No, you didn't! She's just making you out to be her rival in love!! Get with the program, Asuka!! SFX: ZUUN Someone: AKAA!! AKA!!
Page 134: Ishi: It's been a while, hasn't it, you basta~~~rd! Aka! Ken: Hey! Aka. Aka: Issu, Ken-san. Kuri: Red!! How did training camp go?! Aka: Ma~~~~~n, Okinawa's awesoooome!! Kuri: Huh? The training camp was in Okinawa? You basta~~~~rd! Ishi: Man, he sure is jealous! Aka: WAHAHAHA! Special privilege to the chosen ones! You ever been to Okinah, Yumi? Yumi: No. Handwritten: You don't have to gloat. Sum: Wha...... How? How is this guy so damn popular?! Hey, Toki, how?! Toki: Hmmm, it's probably... because he's the "ace", I guess? Sum: No waaaay!!
Page 135: Sum: A... Aaace?! A guy with sideburns around the 15th percentile is an ace pitcher?!! That... Handwritten: NOWAAYYYZZ Sum: Thah mohron!!! Toki: Your face is what's at a low percentile... Also he's not a pitcher... Izumi: Hey, Aka! Aka: Oh, issu, Izumi-chan. Izumi: Say... What'd you do to your left hand? Aka: Ah, this...? Well, at the training camp I got into a little, uh... Izumi: Oh... You got into another fight, didn't you?! SFX: GIKU
Page 136: Aka: U~~~~~h, well... But the injury itself is just a little finger jam, basically... I'm totally fine! Izumi: That's not the point! Ken: Aka... Getting into fights so easily is a bad habit of yours... You should understand that from being thrown out of as many games as you have... Aka: Okau, I understand! I, Aka Taichirou, hereby swear to never get into another fight!! ......... However, that...... only takes effect after my match with Summer is over!!! Oraa! Come at me, Summeeer! I'll blow you outta the water!! Sum: Nu Ken: How'd it turn into that?! SFX: SUBISHIH
Page 137: Sum: Y... You got it, asshole!!! You piece 'a shit sideburns, gettin' all high and mighty over being called "Ace"!! HM? W...Wait...! If I beat Sideburns today...... Then I'll be higher than the "ace"..... ["higher than the ace" in bold.] Which means... In other words. I'd... I'd be the freakin' "ace"!! That's where we end up!! So... So then that means... yeah!! I'll marry Ashuka-senpai!! Aka: General! Why'd you let a guy like that onto the team?! Ken: Who's 'general'...? Aka: Let's make him quit the team! Sum: Heeey! Make sure you're ready to lose, okay? Former ace!! ["former" in italics.] Aka: Aah?! Handwritten: HEY!
Page 138: Aka: That's quite some big talk for a little first year... Who're you calling former ace, asshole? ["former" in italics.] Sum: You, jerkwad... After today, if you call yourself an "ace" you're not allowed to go near Asuka-senpai again! Ken: Aw geez...... I thought with Aka back we'd have 2 problem children on our hands......... Did they really already have such a close shave......? Izumi: Hey, I don't know what you're fighting about, but... quit fighting. AKa: GUNU~~~~ If I could, I'd really like to hit him in the face with this fist of rage, but... D... Don't worry, Izumi-chan...
Page 139: Aka: I'm not gonna fight... We're gonna settle this with "Ring"...!! Someone: Hey, hey, Asuka! Uh, I think you should know about this!! Asuka: Huh? Aka-kun and Summer-kun are playing each other in Ring?! Why's he doing that again...? Girl: I dunno! Let's just go check it out! Asuka: O... Okay... ......!! Playing Aka-kun in Ring......? Summer-kun's only just started playing Ring......
Page 140: Aka: 1 month? Huh? What is? Sum: Like I said, my spectacular Ring history! Aka: ............ .........Huh? Whuh? What was that...? Sorry I don't think I understand... What do you mean by that? Sum: I said I'm a super rookie who started playing Ring 1 month ago!! Aka: Heh? What's this jackass saying......? Huh? ......Wait... Doesn't that mean...... Um... Ba...sic...ally...
Page 141: Aka: You're a total newbie!!! Sum: Please refer to me as a Super Rookie...! ["super rookie" bold/wiggly font] Aka: No way! Hey!! This is fucking stupiiid! This ain't gonna be any sorta match!! I'm out! So out!! Are you a moron?!! Sum: Wh......? What'd you say, dammit?!! Aka: There's no way somebody who's only been playing Ring for a month can be any match against me, idiot!! Handwritten: Hold it, you! Sum: You won't know that unless you friggin' try!! Aka: I do know! The end result is fuckin' clear as day!! Actually doing it's a total waste of time!! Izumi: Hmm... He has a point... Honestly there may not even be a third year that can go up against Aka one-on-one...... A beginner like Summer definitely can't beat him.....
Page 142: Aka: Hu~~~h? A guy so talented that he made Asuka-chan head over heels for him? Where might such a person be...? Handwritten: I don't see one anywhere~~~ Sum: Hu..... I... I'll never forgive him... SFX: UUUUN AKa: Akaichirou... Er, was that his name? He just made his way into the number 1 slot of guys I wanna shut up!! SFX: NUGUGUGUGU Sum: ! Aka: Hey, Ken-san, let's just get practice started... Sum: HEEEEY, sidebuuurns!! Aka: Ah?
Page 143: Sum: Don't move from that spot... SFX: SU... Sum: I'll show you what talent I've got.
Page 144: SFX: BYUH
Page 145: SFX: TATTATTA Asuka: Ah!
Page 146: Aka: !!! ............ For real?
Page 147: Aka: He threw that with me as the target...? Or did he just throw it randomly? Either way, at this trajectory, it's...
Page 148: Aka: Woopsie! SFX: SAH BAIN Sum: AUA~~~~~~ You dumbass!! I toldja not ta mooooove!!! That would've totally been a ringer!! You just got scared, you gutless bastard!! Aka: ......Hm? SFX: GAMI GAMI Aka: He broke a sweat from that one throw...? No way...
Page 149: Aka: That's no ordinary level of concentration...... You: ...... That bastard... Ken: ........... Misugi: That range... Kuri: That was some serious range. In a match, it would've been a Victory Goal...!! Izumi: ............ That Summer kid... Yumi: When did he... Toki: ............ I'm not surprised, but... SFX: GRN
Page 150: Toki: Summer hasn't slacked off a bit in his shooting practice after practice...... Narration: A guy who's still sticking around during his individual practice. Toki: So his shooting success rate has gotten incomparably higher...! Asuka: ......... Summer-kun... Tha was great... Aka: One month of playing Ring......? I see. He might have a teensy bit of sense for the game... Maybe I'll play around with him just a little...!
Page 151: Aka: Summer! Sum: Mu? Aka: Look behind you! Asuka-chan's there!! Sum: WHUHUH?!! Fer real?! WHERE?!! SFX: BAH Sum: Where, where?! I don' see her!! Where are you, Ashuka-senpyai?! WHERE ARE YOOOU?! Heeey! Where are ya?! SFX: SU...
Page 152: Sum: Whereareyaa!! Ih? SFX: BAH Sum: Ow~~~ Wh... What the hell's this?! Ah. Handwritten: It's a Ring. Aka: Summer! Shooting's your specialty, right? Ken: ...... Aka: Then let's have a shooting contest...!
Page 153: Sum: Wha-----... He friggin' threw it back...? You: ......... Toki: ......... Aka: I'll show you the reason they call me "Ace"... [quote bold/big] And I'll show you my skill that makes them say 'the poll loves me'...!! [quote bold/big]
Page 154: Top: Shimabu's Story Parentheses: (Until I made Ring (4)) Shima: First, I had to decide if it was a team sport or an individual sport. There are individual sports like judo and kendo that have team competitions, too, (Like relays in track-and-field or long-distance relays in marathons...) but my image for this manga was something like soccer or rugby or an indoor sport like basketball or handball. I wanted to draw a team sport with a sense of speed, so I decided for now I'd start thinking about a story for a team sport. Ah, but I did kinda wanna do that long-distance relay thing. We didn't have a track team in my middle school, but there would be long-distance relays at my school, and a lot of athletes from various clubs that had the stamina for middle-distance runs would gather together to participate in these big meets. So as a member of the soccer team, I was asked to participate, too. I've always liked marathons (though I've never ran a full one) and I thought that given the tension and fun of a long-range relay, I could possibly make it into a good manga~~. Then there's kendo... And yeah, soccer or volleyball... H~m, or maybe an existing sport is better after all? ...Honestly that's what I thought several times when I was ready to throw in the towel... (hehe). Go me! [That last sentence is in small text] So, if I were to do a team sport, I'd have all those people to deal with. And when it comes to showing them all as a manga, there can sometimes be a bit too many... You can't show all the characters and it's really not a lot of fun to draw characters even you don't really care about. An ideal would be around 5~6 people, I thought... So something like volleyball or basketball would be ideal. If it were something like rugby or American football, when trying to make it a manga, I just wouldn't be able to properly draw every person. But I figured that being so fixated on the number of people in the first stages wasn't good, so I decided not to put too much concern on that. Anyhow, what was I gonna do...

Page 128: Top: Shimabu's Story Parentheses: (Until I made Ring (2)) Shima: Okay, I totally forgot what part I wrote up to last time (heheh). Anyhow, here's the continuation of 'Until I made Ring', Okay, uh... Yeah ok. So I'd decided I was gonna make a totally new sport. Well, it might be too hard, but I had plenty of time (At that time, I had plenty of time anyhow...), so I thought I'd give it my all to think something up... Seeing as it would be the theme, I wanted to draw something as interesting as I could, and I wanted to set it in a school, so I wanted it to be a sport that could actually be played in real life. I decided I didn't wanna do any sorta near-future sci-fi sorta thing, one that used impossible tools, or requited moves that can't be done in the real world. And I also wanted the sport itself to be as simple and primitive as possible. When you're trying to create something that doesn't exist, it's pretty hard to avoid starting out with something really complicated... Even I would even get sick of thinking about them after a while... So, I figured I should start thinking about it, but I had really no idea how to tackle it, so for a while (1 week) I spent each day totally spaced out. I thought back to my days as a newbie before I had even debuted (heheh). Ya see, back in those days it took me a month to think up a name (story board) for a single one-shot... (Man, that's long!) Though coming up with a new story and characters was a real slog both then and now... Also, while it was easier for me to have a bird's eye view of a series now compared to then, I had times when I cooled down and hit the breaks on myself, or rather I had restraint. Basically because I drew my works back in those days thinking they were three times as interesting as the readers reading it, so in a way I was an idiot and was able to really draw in high spirits...

Okay, I finally got this one done. Really on the whole, volume 2's taking way longer than I wanted because I had so many other things I had to do over the course of November and December. Buuuuuut, with this chapter we're officially half way through the series. So that's a good milestone. I'm gonna try to get the other 12 chapters done in not-too-long. I'd really like that, then this huge project that I've been trying to do for years and years would finally be finished and everyone could read it.
Page 80: Guy: Summer..... Summeeeeeer! SFX: KUUU KUUU Toki: Hey, Summer! Sum: Heah? SFX: PAN Sum: Did sumthin' 'appen, Toki? Toki: Sensei's calling you. Why're you suddenly talking in Kyuushuu dialect...? Teacher: Whe~~~~w, goo~~~~d, Hanagata-kun! You didn't blink a single time today! ["blink" is big/bold.] That attitude of not wanting to miss a single moment of lessons is so~~~~~ good! Goooooooood!! SFX: GUH
Page 81: Sum: Huh? Aw, man! Really? Gee~~~z, guess I got a little too focused agai~~~n! I was so frea~~kin' focused that I forgot ta blink! Teacher: Goo~~~~d, very goo~~~~d. Let's see even more of that spark, just like sensei's new toupe~~~! Guy: Sensei, it's seriously too flashy!! And seriously, he was asleep, how are you not getting that? Toki: Well, I can't blame him for being tired... Summer---- had continued his solo-practice after club activities ended every day... But seeing as the grounds' night lights would only stay on until 10PM, after that he would practice deep into the night at a nearby park---- using the lamp posts in place of goals... And just a few days earlier... Toki: Hm?
Page 82: You: ! Oh. Sum: Oooooh, well if it ain't Saori?! Out for a run at a time like this?! Hahah, you looked preeetty upset after that scrimmage match the other day, too, didn' ya?! Handwritten: Nahaha You: M... Moron... I've been doin' a regular nightly run since before that... After this I've got weight lifting until midnight before I'm done. It's a regiment I've been doing since middle school. Sum: Until midni~~~ght? Huhu. Yeah, that really is middle school level... You: !
Page 83: Sum: After this... we're gonna practice until 1 AM, right? Toki: ......Are you proud of that? Handwritten: HEHEH You: Hey, you guys are beginners so of course ya gotta do at least that much. ........ But I...... sometimes keep running until 2 AM. ["2 AM" really big/weird font.] And today just happens ta be one 'a those 2 AM days...! Sum: Hohoh... Well as it just so happens, starting today... we're going to be starting our top-secret special training...... so...... we're going to 3... no, 4 AM... Until 4 AM, man... [The last "4 AM" big/weird.] Toki: What's with this "we"? Since when am I part of this? Guys: Well, to be perfectly honest with ya, I'm going to 5 AM... ["5 AM" big/weird] Hm... Well if we're being honest here, we're gonna be going until 6 AM! [6AM big/weird] I'm goin' till 7 AM... [7AM big/weird] We're going until 8 AM!! [8AM big/weird] I will until 9 AM!! [9AM big/weird] Toki: ....And because of that pointless pissing contest...... he ended up sleeping at the only time they could, during class....
Page 84: Toki: But, well, to be honest both Summer and I sorta... were really...... happy...... knowing that we weren't the only ones..... practicing to that hour...... For some reason, knowing we had a teammate trying as hard as we were... was truthfully a big encouragement...... ......Though
Page 85: Toki: I had no idea that Saori was so good at studying..... Sum: A... An honor student, huh? Toki: This guy can seriously stay awake during class after all of that......? Handwritten: There's no way he could've gotten any sleep... Toki: But of course, even hates-to-lose Summer... Sum: That bastard! I'm not losing to him in studies, either!! My left brain's going at top gear!! Toki: a guy that got lost in most subjects around the 2nd semester of his 1st year of middle school couldn't really change much at this point..... SFX: KARI KARI KARI KARI KARI KARI Toki: So in order to at least keep the teacher from knowing he was tired... the best he could do was draw on his eyelids...... Haha...... Geez. Every day's so hectic...... But it really is...... fun hanging out with with him...
Page 86: Narration: After school---- SFX: KIIN KOOHN KAAAN KOOHN Sign: Staff Room Guy: I see..... I understand.... You can go now..... Box: Baseball Supervisor Ishihara Yuusaburyou Guys: We're sorry...... Thank you for everything you've done for us... Fuji: Were those 1st years? It hasn't even been one month yet... Ishihara: Well, this happens every year...... I'm glad they at least came to tell me that they were quitting......
Page 87: Ishihara: Still, of those boys... the one in the center... He was an ace when he was in middle school and went all the way to nationals...... It's really too bad...... Well... I can't show how regretful I feel in front of the students, but... Fuji: Haha. Because you hate losing, too, Ishihara-sensei..... Ishi: All I can do is hone the students that do stick around... Because in the end, it's not genius that matters most, it's determination... ["determination" in italics.] Fuji: ! Ishi: How about you, Fuji-sensei? Have any determined students this year? Fuji: ........... Yes...... We've got some magnificent new talent... Before I knew it I wanted to start guiding them like in my old days... Ishi: Hohoh. So the "Great Demon Coach" is back in action? [quote bold.] But if you really got serious, Fuji-sensei, all the students would go running...! Fuji: You have a point...... They're really spoiled these days, after all... SFX: HAHAHA
Page 88: Toba: ! Ah, Takuya! Takuya: Jyunichi... Toba: You heading to practice? Me, too! I was just thinking of going back to the Baseball Team. Takuya: Sorry, Jyunichi... I quit the Baseball Team... Toba: ............ Huh? Takuya: I was just giving the supervisor my resignation... Toba: Wh... Why? What happened?! Takuya: It's just...... the practices have been really rough... I just can't keep up... And I kinda don't get along with my senpais...... Sorry... I know I invited you to join and all... Toba: Huh...? Wait... SFX: SU...
Page 89: Toba: ........ Wh... Why?! You used to say you'd make it to Koushien, didn't you...?!! [First sentence big/bold.] T/N: Koushien is the stadium where the high-school baseball championships are held. And you made it to nationals when you were in middle school... Takuya: Guys like me are all over the place... Those guys out there are the type that are frequent at Koushien... Really, I wish that instead of aiming for Koushien... I'd gone to a weaker school where I could enjoy playing baseball... Toba: Wha... Takuya... What the hell... What the hell... Takuya: Heeeey, Jyunichiiii!! Heeey!!
Page 90: Takuya: Hey, man! You said you were looking to join a sports team in high school, right? Jyunichi: Y... Yeah... I was thinking about it... I'm not all that athletic so I wanted to tone my body a bit... Takuya: Then how 'bout this, what do you say we join the baseball team together? Toba: Baseball team?! Takuya: Yeah! We'll all work hard together and go for Koushien!! Toba: Heeeeh, Koushien, huh? That sounds awesome. I mean, you made it to nationals in middle school, so maybe something like that isn't just a dream! Both: Yeah! Yamagaku's got a great baseball team! We can definitely make it to Koushien!! Let's invite some other guys! Man, I'm really getting excited! We might even get to be on TV if we make it to Koushien! Haha! Toba: Why... He has talent...... So why'd he give up so easily......?
Page 91: Toba: I mean..... I was really happy when Takuya invited me...... I though we'd go for it..... together..... Summer: Heeeeey! Tobaaaaaah!! SFX: BIKUH (Surprise)
Page 92: Summer: What're you doin' over there? C'mon, we're all headed for another intense practice today, come with us!! Toba: Ah...... Hanagata-kun... Sum: By the way, you haven't got any stamina, so you're gonna at least have to go for a run beforehand, Toba! You: Nobody wants to hear that from a beginner like you. Toki: Hurry up, we're gonna go do some passing practice, Toba! Toba: ............
Page 93: Sum: Hm... Huh? Do you have some new moles, Toba? ["Hm... Huh?" big/bold.] Like two more. Handwritten: Two more... Toba: No I don't!! SFX: NUH Sum: Anyhow, we've got practiiiice!! Okay?!! What gives birth to all plays is "practice", after all! You: That's what the supervisor toldja, ain't it? Don't rip it off. Toki: Haha. If that's what gives birth to them, then I wonder what raises them? ["raises" in italics.] Misugi: Well they say what raises all plays is "experience"! Real game experience! Sum: Then who's the "dad" in this? You: I dunno. Quit tha moronic questions.
Page 94: Toki: Let's get going, Toba! Toba: Okay! I still don't really get it... but I think I'll keep going for a little while... with Ring Team...
Page 95: Narration: Come May---- Bit by bit, on each team...... first years quit... Each of them... for their own reasons..... Some students can't keep up with the hard practices... Some students don't get along with their teams... Some have other things they want to do... And for some it's just because..... ["just because" in italics.] And the Ring Team is no exception......
Page 96: Sum: Hey, Tanakaaa!! What the hell do ya mean yer quitting, too?!! Tanakaa!!! Guy: ......Um......... I'm Nakamura. Sum: Did you forget the vow we made that day, dammit?!! How we vowed under that starry sky that we were both going to aim for the flower garden?!! Naka: Huh? What? When? And a flower garden...? Sum: We all promised we were gonna keep going for the one of us that died, didn't we?! Naka: Huh, who? Kuri: ............ We had all those first years and no we're suddenly down to half...? Well, I guess it does happen every year... Ke: We're better off, ain't we? Our year had 30 to start out with and now we're down to 6 after all... Izumi: Hey, Summer, that's enough! You can't force him to stay!
Page 97: Summer: Goddammit, these gutless bastards!! I don' remember raising such softies, I tells ya!! You: 'Re you their dad? Fuji: Hm... Okay, 1st years gather together! Sum: ! Misugi: Isu! Fuji: Hm..... That's a bit close...... SFX: ZAH
Page 98: Fuji: One month has gone by... and we have 7 first years left, eh...?
Page 99: Life is a series of "choices"... Sensei isn't going to tell you all not to give up no matter what... But continuing will definitely someday be a boon to you... It's also connected to an invisible trust... And most of all, accomplishing something... turns into unshakable confidence.
Page 100: Fuji: So how about... giving it your all with us for three years?! Sum: I don' get it! Wha's he talkin' about?!! Handwritten: No clue Fuji: HUuuuh?! SFX: GABIIIN Sum: Anyhow, let's get praciticiiing!! Let's get better really fast and get revenge on those third yeaaars!! And then we'll go straight to conquering nationaaaals!! Yeaaaah!! SFX: ORAA Sun: Okaay! Then first...... Um.... What...... What are we doing, captain?! ["Last sentence big/bold.] Ken: Running. Sum: Runniiiing!! You: Man, you're loud. Fuji: ............
Page 101: Izumi: Summer really has a competitive spirit... They've really got spirit. Looking good, aren't they? This year's first years... Eh, Sensei? Fuji: Huhu. Like father like son, eh...? Izumi: Huh? Fuji: Izumi... It may just be that right now... we are in contact with some incredible players...... Narration: On this day, Summer and the other first years... were reduced to just 7 people...
Page 102: Narration: but when Ootake was leading the run that day... he could feel the presence of hundreds of people running behind him... Guys: Yamagakuu Fight! Ou! Fight! Ou! SFX: DODODODODODODODODODODODO Ken: This is only 7 guys...?! They've got some incredible presence...!!

Ok, I managed to finally squeeze in time to get this one done. Still got 5 more in this volume. Iiiiii'm-a getting there.
[Ring 11 Translation by Kewl0210] Page 53: Summer: We've still got a long way ta goooooo! A 4 point difference ain't that much, dammiiiiiit!! [First sentence big] The real match starts now, babyyyy!!! Fuji: He's got quite a competitive spirit...... that Hanagata-kun... Huhu... I'm looking forward to see what happens next... Narration: But Summer was a hyper total beginner after all. With that statement proving to be an empty bluff, after that he presented the 3rd year team with another two points... Sum: GUaA Title: Ring11: When the Morning Sun Rises... Narration: And with the huge score gap of 6-0...
Page 54: Narration: the first half ended---- SFX: PIPIIIIIIH Guys: HAA HAA Title: Ring11: When the Morning Sun Rises...
Page 55: Ken: Alllll riiight! That's the way!! [First sentence big/bold] Good going, guys!! Let's up the pressure even higher in the second half!! Guys: Right! Let's be assertive! Don't be afraid to make fouls! Keh. I really wanted to get a 10-point gap~~~~ C'mon, we got plenty. Ishi: It's too bad. If those guys had "Aka", then this game woulda been a bit more interesting...... SFX: JIIII (Stare) Sum: ............ SFX: ZUUUUUUN
Page 56: Sum: Goddangiiiiit! Stupid things! Stupid thiiings!! Guy: Aaaah! Hanagata-kun is messing with the Rings again! You: It's fine. We change courts in the 2nd half anyway. It'll save us some trouble. At half-time ya take the scored rings off and reset. Sum: Fer real? Okay, then let's reset the scores back to 0! Handwritten: Back to 0 VS 0. You: And the points stay with the teams!! I toldja not ta mess with the scoreboard!! Handwritten: KORAAAA SFX: PERA PERA You: Yumi-san, seriously, let's take this guy out. He's doin' nothin' but holding us back. Sum: Hey, sheddep! You: At this rate we're gonna lose! Yumi:! Sum: G-Goddammi~~~t! This wasn'... This wasn' supposed ta happe~~~~n! Yumi: ............We're gonna lose at this rate............. huh? He still thinks we might with then...?
Page 57: Fuji: Hm... Quite reassuring... Someone: Supervisor! Fuji: If any 1st years besides Yamagata want to join in, it's okay. Even if you're a beginner. Guys: Huuh?! N-No way! We couldn't! I mean, we're losing already... Yeah, that's true... Toki: I mean... those 3rd years are too good, don'chan think? Asuka: Yeah, they're good. We did make it to the top 4 in the prefecture last year, ya know. Guys: HUUUUH?! For real?! Toki: I... I never heard much about the Ring Team's reputation within the school, so...... so I thought for sure they wouldn't be good within the prefecture... Asuka: Mmmm, well, compared to the other teams... This school's got lots of national-level ones... Toba: But... best 4 in the prefecture's really good, don't you think...? Guy: Yeah...
Page 58: Guy: And I heard that the current 3rd years have been called the "golden generation" since they were in first year. Some people've even been saying that this year's team could be the strongest in the history of the Yamagaku Ring Team. ["strongest in the history" bold.] Asuka: Honestly, this year getting to nationals is a sure thing! Guys: I- Interhigh?!! A-Awesome! I didn't know this team was that strong... Even with so few people... Sum: Hmph... I don't care if they're the Golden Generation or whatever, I ain't losin' this...! You can bet your ass we're gonna make a comeback in the 2nd half...!! You: We don't need to hear that from you.
Page 59: Sum: Supervisor!! Please, gimme some sorta instructions!! Do you know any sorta secret techniques to get 10 points or so at once? Eh? You're the supervisor, you must know something like that, right?!! Fuji: Hm? Handwritten: C'mon, c'mon! Fuji: Well, I dunno about 10 points~~ But if you get them 2 at a time, you can come back...! 8 meters out from the goal is an arch-shaped line called the "goal line". If you score a shot from outside this line, you receive one free throw as a bonus. Diagram: Goal Line Fuji: So if you score from there, you can get two points at once. It's nicknamed the "Bonus Shot"!! Sum: I getcha! Okay, I'm gonna go for those every time in the 2nd half! You: Moron! Even a really good shooter can only make the Bonus Shot arounde 30 percent 'a the the time... In other words, gettin' just 1 shot in 3 would be considered good... And in a match, you've got the enemy putting pressure on you... They ain't gonna just let you have a free shot like that. Then there's stuff like on days when there's rain and wind where the chances of getting the shot are even worse. That's how hard the Bonus Shot is...
Page 60: Sum: Hey, hey, Saori... You saw my skill more close up than anybody, right? Did ya forget that hyper-long shot I threw? Handwritten: Ah? You: I toldja, that was a friggin' fluke!! How long're ya gonna harp on about that?!! Sum: What a rude bastard you are!! I've told ya a hundred times it wasn' a fluke!! [First sentence bold] That was 100 percent my skyill!! You: Moroon!! Even pros can't make that shot!! [First sentence bold] In golf that'd be alike a hole in one!! That was 100% luck, dangit!! That was a friggin' miracle! Sum: And it was my skill that caused that miracle!! Izumi: Heey, you two morons over theeeere! We're gonna start the second half! Sum: ALL RIIIGHT! For now, let's just do the 2nd half of this game!! [First sentence big/bold.] You: Please... I'm beggin' you man, please don't screw up the game any further... Summer... Fuji: ......... Handwritten: ORAAA Let's go! Asuka: Supervisor, did you hear about Summer-kun's miracle shot? Fuji: Hm...? Yeah. I didn't see it, but I heard about it.
Page 61: Fuji: It's a hard story to swallow, but... with the whole student body as witnesses, I can't very well deny it... Asuka: It still gives me goosebumps just thinkin' about it... It'd be great for us if that wasn't a fluke... I'd really like to think that... Fuji: ............ "Victory Shot". That sort of 40-meter class shot has its own name, too... If by some chance you get that shot in a game, you get 5 bonus throws...! Meaning that's a play that can earn 6 points at once! There's only one official case of this ever happening even in the pros... If you were able to score a Victory Shot in a high school match... then that would probably become a "legend"...
Page 62: Izumi: Okay, it's black's ring to start the 2nd half! Let's begin!! SFX: PIIIH Sum: Ooookay! Bring it here, Saori! Pass! I've got the condor position! You: ........ The heck's a condor? You...? You mean Commander? Sum: Hm? Ah, yeah, yeah, Condoller! T/N: Condoller is the name of a character from Kamen Rider. Yumi: Saorii! Here they come! Look out!! Misugi, go receive! Misugi: Aye! Yumi: Summer! Sum: ! If you get the ring... just run for a spot where there aren't any opponents. They'll probably come to crush you the first chance they get, knowing you're a beginner and all... But it's okay... they shouldn't be able to catch you with your quick feet. Sum: ......... Yumi: If you can draw 2 or 3 people over to you and pass to an opponent... we might get our big chance......! Get it?
Page 63: Sum: ............ I don' wanna! ["Wanna" big] YumI: HUUUUUUH?! You're kidding meeeee!! Handwritten: You don't wanna?! SFX: PUIH Sum: The moment I get it, I'm gonna shoot...!! I'm gonna turn this around with a bonus shot!! I'm gonna score!! Like hell I'm losing this...!! Even if I don't know all the rules, I just hate losing...!! Yumi: Hey, hey... Please listen to what I'm saying, Summer... Kuri: Hey, heeey! You: GU...

Page 78: Starburst: Shimabu's Top: Thought up all on my own.... Rules of Ring! ~Really Broad~ ■How to Handle the Ring ○Fundamentally it's considered ok to use anything that's on the upper half of your body, but putting the ring around your wrist, neck, or torso is against the rules. You can't touch the ring with anything below the waist, (like kicking it or anything) but it is allowed when it's thrown there by an opposing team. Also, even if you touch the ring with the lower half of your body, if it's not done in a way that's to your team's advantage, there is no penalty. ○Regardless of allies or opponents, the Ring cannot be touched by two people or more. Two people can only be touching it for within 3 seconds. In the case of two allies, then unless one lets go, there is a penalty. In the case of an opponent, the first one touching it must give it up. ■Throw-Off ○The Throw-Off must take place within 5 seconds after the referee blows his whistle. Also, as long as it's from within the center of the court, the ring can be thrown in either direction. When that happens, the opposing team's players must be further than 5 meters away or more from the throwing player. ○When play is beginning, the team that won the coin-toss has the right to choose which side to use or to do the throw-off. If they choose the throw-off, the opposing team gets the right to choose sides. The team to do the throw-off in the 2nd half is the one that did not do the throw-off in the 1st half. After a goal is scored, play resumes with a throw-off by the scoring team.

It doesn't matter if it's a teammate or an opponent, it's against the rules for multiple people to hold a ring. Sum: .......... ...Huh? What's with that...? What you sayin'? Asuka: Aa... Summer-kun... I knew it was pushin' it starting in a match when he doesn't even know the rules...... Fuji: It's okay... The body will remember something much better by making mistake after mistake rather than by being told how to do it...... Handwritten: HAHAHA Asuka: Supervisor. Do you think so? Fuji: For example, in rugby when a player is tackled and they fall down, they have to give the ball up... I suppose "over-keep" is pretty close to that rule...
Page 41: Yumi: Okay, Summer... Once the opponent has gripped the ring, it's the opponent's ring. ["gripped" in italics] And we have to let go for the time being... Unless you let go within 3 seconds, it's an over-keep which is a foul. Sum: Hm~~~~ You: Think about it... If we didn't let go, then you'd end up with two players tugging on the ring... Yumi: Also, players on the same team aren't allowed to grab it at the same time, either! Then the ring goes to the opposing team... Earlier, when you grabbed Saori's ring, Saori let go of it within 3 seconds, so it wasn't a foul... In Bubble: Just barely SFX: PA Sum: ............ You: So basically, since ya don't know that or any 'a the other rules, you're just gonna get in the way so just stand there totally still... Kay...? Stop flappin' around. Sum: Gu......

SFX: WAH Toki: It may have been because he didn't know the rules, but to Summer this is a tight situation that happened because of his own mistake... He wants to stop it no matter what he has to do now... Yumi: If we go up against the 3rd year team in a battle of height, we can't win...! So we'll need to win on momentum first!! Man-to-man defense!

Page 48: You: GUA Guys: Aaaah, he got past him!! But how? Wasn't that.. an "over-keep" just now?! Toki: The 3-second rule...! You've gotta get your hand off it within 3 seconds, so in other words you're allowed to resist for 3 seconds, it looks like... Sum: Bastard... Hold up, dammiiiiit!! You: AH! SFX: DOU You: Stop, Summer! Don't overdo it!!

Izumi: That wasn't a 'little'! Sum: Nu? SFX: PUNPUN (Angry) Izumi: Be careful, Summer. A foul inside the goal area directly results in a free throw for the opposing team...

Ok, I finally got this chapter done. I meant to get to this point a while ago but stuff kept taking longer than I expected. Ah, well, anyhow, the scanlation of volume 1 is out and I'll be working on getting this one done in the near future. How near remains to be seen.

Page 4: Starburst: Shimabu's Top: Thought up all on my own.... Rules of Ring! ~Really Broad~ ■Number of Players ○Ring is made up of 7 people per team playing on the court. There are 8 alternate players. There are a total of 15 players that can be entered in one game. [ 7 8 and 15 bold/white.] ■How to Sub-in Players ○It's generally OK to sub in players as many times as you want. However, if a player receives two yellow cards, they are suspended and cannot reenter the court. ○When subbing-in, there is no need to get the ref's permission. If they pass the specified boundary (substitution line) and sub-in, then they are free to do so as many times as they like. (The substitution line from the sidelines, so with the center line as a contact point to 5 meters into one's own team's side.) ■Play Time ○On the high school level, boys and girls teams have 30 minutes in each half, totaling 1 hour of play. Between them is a 10-minute rest period. Also, at the second half you switch sides. ○If a game ends with the same score on both teams and a winner must be decided, you enter extra-time with 1 halves of 10 minutes each, totaling 20 minutes. If that also ends with the same score, 5 people on each team enter a free-throw shootout. Furthermore, depending on the competition's rules, there may be no extra time and go immediately into a shootout.

Toki: No, it's the opposite... It's supposed to be really hard to get points. That's just because of the huge gap between the 3rd years and the 1st and 2nd years...

Ok, there! Finally done with volume 1. Whew. That took forever. I finished chapter 1 of this when... late July? It took me about 3 months to get through the first volume. Ok, well, still, it's a big thing for me because this projects been on the backburner as something I've wanted to do for sooooo long. I'm gonna try to scan volume 2 sometime soon. Though I'm gonna take a bit of a break from this series before I start it. Hopefully our scanlation of volume 1 won't take too long.
Page 187: Guys: Now then, let's begin a match of the 3rd year team VS the 1st and 2nd year team! Let's have a good game!! Title: Ring8: Scrimmage Match
Page 188: Guys: Ooookay! Let's get into this!! 'Ll right! Don't hold back! Make sure you're checking!! Let's make it a 10-point lead after the first half! Box: 3rd Year Team Guys: Uwa~~~~~ The senpais look like they're getting really hyped. They sure are taking this seriously...... ...... Anyhow, let's keep our usual plays in mind!! I'll mark the captain, so you guys stop that yakuza guy!! In Bubble: The alumni one You: Hm? Handwritten: HAH Box: 1st-2nd Year Team Sum: Got it?! Against him, I permit the use of weapons!! Handwritten: Stuff like tonfa. You: Why're you here? SFX: GAH
Page 189: you: You're on observation duty, dangit. So sit tight and watch, perm head! Sum: WUA~~~~ I don' wanna~~~~ I wanna be in the match, too~~ I'll score with a hat trick~~~~ You: This ain't soccer. Handwritten: WAAA Lemmego, Saori~~~ SFX: JITA BATA Narration: 1st Year Observation Group---- Guys: ......... Toki: Just take it easy and watch for today, Summer. Sum: So don't tie me up, dammit!! And this seems like a very technical way to tie someone up!! Handwritten: I'm not into that sorta thing! G-Goddammi~~~t! This wasn' how it was supposed ta go~~ Hmph to this! It's no fun watching other people play a game! Asuka: ! Summer-kun, I'll teach you the rules as you watch the match, okay?
Page 190: Sum: SAY AGAIN! Asuka: UWAH! Sum: Couldja say that just one more time?! SFX: HAA HAA Asuka: Uh... Er... Um... I'll teach you the rules... So take it easy and watch the match......... Sum: OOOOOOKAY! [Heart] I'll be real good and waaaatch! [Heart] SFX: BAH Guys: ......... Toki: It's like he's in kindergarten... Guy: Okay, let's begin! White starts with the ring!!
Page 191: Toki: Oh! Sum: It's starting. Asuka: The way Ring starts is the same as handball. With a 'throw-off". In terms 'a soccer, it's like a 'kickoff'. SFX: PIIIIII Ootake: Oookay, let's go! It's yours, Kuri! SFX: SHU Kuri: 'Kay! Description: Kurita Kaname (3rd Year) SFX: BASHI
Page 192: Guys: Move up the field, guys! Let's get the first point! Yumiba: They put Kuri-san, someone with a lot of momentum, in the command position, huh.........? I'd like to put Saori up against him, but it might be too much for him just yet... Yumiba: Saori! Stick to the captain! Misugi, you stay in front! Misugi: Issu! Asuka: You're allowed to use any part of your upper body to carry the ring. So basically, you either carry it and run or you pass it. Sum: Hohoh.
Page 193: Kuri: Let me have Saori. Yuumin. Yumiba: Quit it with the Yuumin... Or I'll call you Kuurin, Kuri-san. Kuri: I don't mind. Yumiba: I'll take you on. Kuri: Yes, okay.
Page 194: Someone: Right side check!! Guys: O-Okay! SFX: BASHI SFX: BIH Yumiba: Ah!
Page 195: Someone: Behind!! SFX: BASHI Guy: Put pressure in front of the goal!! Okay!!
Page 196: SFX: BYUH Guy: HIH! SFX: GOH Guys !! Guy: The captain's on the scene! Asuka: Yousukee!! SFX: WAH SFX: WAH SFX: GAH
Page 198: SFX: SHU Guy: YEAAAAAH! Guys: UWAA! They scooored! ["UWAA" big.] We've already got the first point!! SFX: WAAAAA PIIIIH GAH Ishige: Nice pass, Ken! Guys: Nice one, Ishige! Description: Ishige Yasunari (3rd Year) Guys: aa...... Th... That was fast... Sum: Powerless..... The 1st-2nd year team is so powerless.... Is it because I'm not in...?
Page 199: Ootake: Ooookay! Let's keep up the momentum!! Misugi: .......... That was a crazy fast snap pass... He's gotta have quite a bit of wrist strength for such a quick release. From Saori's point of view ir probably felt like the pass went through him. ["through" italics] Saori: ............ Sum: Heeeeeey! Saoriiiiii! Don't get beat that quiiick, bastard! Play right, dammit! You: Would you shut it and just stick to observing! Kawa: ......... Hmm... It actually looks like that Saori guy is still holding back...
Page 200: Sum: ............... Hm~~~? Why'd they leave that ring in the goal like that? Toki: Yeah, once a ring gets in the goal they just leave it like that. Though I don't think it's so it's easier to count up at the end... I think it's more of an insult to a team that got scored on a lot. ["insult" big/bold] If there's too big a difference between the teams' skill levels, sometimes the rings start stacking up like a mountain. SFX: PIIIIIH
Page 201: Yumi: Saori! Lead, will ya! SFX: SHU You: Huh? SFX: BASHI Asuka: Ah! Guys: Ooooh! Now Saori is taking the commander of the 1st-2nd year team!! Okay, let's hear some voices, Saori! Handwritten: PAN PAN SFX: OOOOO Sum: Commander? Whassat? ["Commander" in weird font] Toki: Hm~~~~... I don't really know that much about the positions either. Asuka: The commander is the team's command tower! The "carrier" of the ring. In basketball, you'd call it the point guard. Toki: Ooooh, I see. Asuka: So what someone entrusted with the command position needs is naturally a wide field of vision and passing skills. And they need great ring handling skills so it doesn't get stolen by the opponents.
Page 202: Kawa: Ken! Do a press, quick!! Slip in from a high position!! Ishige and Kuri, follow him up!! You: Hm?! Kawa: It's only 15 minute halves! You: Uoh! Keep moving at full speed!! SFX: GAH You: Seriously...? They're gonna keep this up for 15 minutes? Yumi: 1st years! Follow from behind!! And let's hear voices!! Guys: O... Okay! Ah! Saori-kun, behind you!
Page 203: SFX: BASHI You: ! Guys: All riiiiight! Move it, guys! up the field! Guys: Ah! They took it! Saori! Sum: .........
Page 204: You: Bastard! Guy: Woah! You: ...... Yumi: Help!! Kuri ! Guys: All right! He's surrounded!! SFX: BA BAH
Page 205: Guy: UOH! SFX: BIH SHURURURU Guys: !? UWAaA, incredible!! That Kurita is lightning faaaast!! SFX: WAH
Page 206: Guys: That's 2 points! All riiiight! Yeah! The 3rd year team is overwhelming!! It's only just started! It's been 2 minutes! SFX: AAAA Toba: A... Aah...... Toki: Hey, hey, the 3rd year team is serious... They're not showing a hint of mercy. This is practically bullying. Sum: Mm... Even though it took two guys to do it...... they actually managed to take the ring from Saori..... Narration: A man that couldn't even touch it...... You: ......... Girl: Aa~~~ I feel bad for Yousuke-kun. That captain is being too serious here. Handwritten: Those feeble little 1st years... Asuka: It's fine. Girl: Huh? Asuka: Yousuke's pretty thick skinned. Something like that won't get to 'im... Though he really hates losing so he'll be plenty frustrated...... Guys: .......... Misuga: T-They really are good..... So that Kuri guy is the ace commander, huh...? Kuri: Saori! You: ! Kuri: There's a guy called "Aka" in the 2nd year, and he's even better than me. He's the Yamagaku ace...! You: Is that right......? That's a relief. Kuri: Hm? You: With that showing, if you were the ace I'd be disappointed. Kuri: This guy...
Page 208: Kawa: Don't hold back, Saori... Keep going at us with all you've got... Asuka: ....... Yousuke... Sum: All riiiiight! I've pretty much got the rules down!! Next week it's my time to shine, Toriko! Toki: Uh, I doubt it. Bottom: [1] Ring (End)
Page 209: Top: Shimabu's Story Parentheses: (Until I made Ring (1)) Shima: I like sports, so I've always wanted to draw a sports manga. So at first I thought I'd like to draw one about soccer, but there've been so many 'soccer manga' in the past that I felt like the subject matter wouldn't feel fresh at all. So I reluctantly gave up on that. I came to the conclusion that major sports like baseball or soccer already had tons of works in the manga world. Then I started looking into sports that weren't as major as football or soccer that I thought I could make into an interesting manga, but hm~~~... most sports were already being done as manga. When it came to sports that didn't have a manga they were really too minor. Like minor enough that I hadn't heard of them before, so I gave up. I just didn't know how I would make a kendo or volleyball manga last until the end. But I really wanted to do a sports manga... The thing was I hadn't done kendo since I was in elementary school. And I'd never done volleyball as a school sport at all. So because there would be so much stuff I really didn't know~~~ I gave up. So while I was racking my brain about what sorta sports manga to do, I saw on TV that there are lots of sports on TV that are still totally unknown. And among them were sports with really simple rules. And each of those sports had their own culture established around them in their respective countries... It was pretty shocking (laugh). Bottom: Continued on the next page~
Page 210: Top: Shimabu's Story Parentheses: (Until I made Ring (2)) Shima: When you were a kid, you'd make up your own rules when playing with your friends a lot, right? Like when you're playing tag, you've got the "Mountain Demon" variation, stuff like that... (heard of it?). Where I was from, we also had a version called "Circle Demon". Anyone who was standing on top of a manhole couldn't be touched by the person that was it... that sorta thing (laugh). Kids are geniuses at coming up with games with limited space and tools, aren't they? Okay, getting back on topic, there really were countries where they had sports like that. And honestly, there were a lot of 'Isn't that a little too simple~?' sorta ones... Those wouldn't be becoming olympic events... The conditions for becoming olympic events were that it had to be a sport played in 75 or more countries on 4 continents. Thinking about it that way, sumor or kendo, famous sports in Japan, wouldn't be olympic events, then. I guess because other countries don't have a high player population... Thinking about it that way, I started thinking about what would happen if a population of players of a sport totally disappeared... I guess the sport itself would disappear... So there must be lots of sports that existed around the world that've disappeared... For someone that loves sports as much as I do, that's something I'd rather not thing about... So, regarding manga, there are lots of manga that do the major sports. On the other hand, if a sport is too minor, then I wouldn't know enough about it so I couldn't draw it. ...But then there are lots of sports that are unknown to the world. It was at this point that I decided to make up an entirely new sport. It might be impossible, but I thought I'd give it a good hard think first... Bottom: Continued in volume 2~
T/N: Mountain Demon (Takaoki) is a variation of tag (Oni Gokko) where you can't be caught if you're in a high place.

Ok, just one more to finally finish volume 1... I think V2 and 3 are less wordy. I definitely remember them going by faster when I read them in like 2012 anyhow.
[Ring 7 Translation by Kewl0210] Page 159: Narration: Yamagawa Academy (Gakuen) High School----- Guys: Yamagaku~~~~ fight! Ay! Fight! Ay! Behind, behind! Opposite side! Narration: A school where sports are traditionally popular that is known as a big-time sports school for having many teams that have distinguished themselves on the national level. Title: Ring7: The Ring Team Underway! Narration: No one can argue that most of the sports teams are regulars at national tournaments, but among them, the baseball team and the soccer team have achieved national conquest many times in the past. But within that prestigious sports school, there was one team that had not produced a single major achievement......
Page 160-161: Ootake: Yamagakuuuuu! Fight! Guys: Ay! Fight! Ay! Fight! Ay! Ootake: Heeeey! Let's hear those voiceeees! First years!! Title: Ring7: The Ring Team Underway! SFX: ZAH ZAH ZAH ZAH ZAH ZAH ZAH ZAH Guys: Ou!! Fight! Ay!! Sum: UoRUaaaah!! Our "Ring Team"-----
Page 162: Asuka: Last lap! Keep it up! Sum: HAH! Ashuka-senpai! [Heart] Ootake: Okay, time for the final sprint!! SFX: PAN Guys: Okay! SFX: DAH Sum: Mu ALL RIIIIGHT! SFX: DAH!!
Page 163: Sum: Please watch me, Ashuka-senpai! [Heart] Watch my dandy running!! Ootake: Uoh! Handwritten: Who's that?! Ootake: What a dandy! SFX: ZUKYAN Nobumi: What... you're kidding me, right? Guys: ! Ah, Nobumi! Nobumi: It... It can't be... Why are all those 1st years on the Ring Team...? I... I thought you only had 6 people... This can't be right! Asuka: Well, we did.
Page 164: Asuka: One've our 1st years, Hanagata-kun, brought 'em. I think they're his friends 'er something...... Nobumi: Oh~~~~? Hanagata, you say? That shitty little brat... That clumsy, cheeky one... Hmph! I'll bet he just bribed them or something. (Like with porno mags or something) [Parenthetical in thin font] Handwritten: Fuhahaha Nobumi: Nobody like that's gonna last. I guarantee they'll quit before long. And then you quit, too, Asuka. Asuka: How rude! Everybody's out there givin' it their all! And why do I have ta quit, too? Someone: ...... Girl: Asuka...... Does Nobumi have some grudge against you or anything? Asuka: Hm~~ Maybe... She flicks boogers at me from behind during class 'n stuff, too, that Nobumi... Does she really have somethin' against me...? Handwritten: No way... Sum: GGO~~~~AL! I'm fi~~~~~~rst!!
Page 165: Sum: Aw ma~~~~n. Didja see, Ashuka-senpai? Li'l ol' me ran like the wind in that last spurt! [Heart] Handwritten: And as a dandy! Asuka: I can't think 'a anything she'd be mad at me about, though~~ Girl: But the way she's lashing out at you is weird. Handwritten: Seriously... That booger thing... Sum: She wasn't watching at all!! Ootake: KEIH! We saw. But.... Man. What speed that guy's got... Okay, everybody together! Guys: Okay! Ootake: Saori! You: Yes? Ootake: Go get the rings from the room... 2 dozen! And the *bibs! Asterisk: *Bibs... Normally this word means something worn on the front to protect one's chest from drool. But in soccer and such sports, it's used to determine which players are on one's own team. You: Ah... Okay. Yes, sir!
Page 166: You: ...... Misugi: The senpai already know his name, huh...? That Saori sure is something... Narration: At this time of year, April, there aren't many 1st years that the upperclassmen will remember the names of. But when they do, that's a sign that they anticipate they'll soon be an asset. To the other 1st years, they have a type of respect as well as a bit of jealousy. Sum: Nuu... That Saori bastard... Earning points, is he...? Okay! I'm 'Yes-sir-ing', too, Senpai!! Ootake: Oh, what, Summer? Sum: I'll go get some rings, too!! Ootake: Hm? Uh, ya don't need to. He can do it alone. Sum: No, I'll go, too. Ootake: Seriously, it's fine. Sum: No, I'm going!! Handwritten: I'll get them way better than he'd get them! Toki: Yep, that Summer really hates to lose... He'll compete at anything... Narration: The upperclassmen had learned Summer's name for an entirely different reason.
Page 167: Narration: First it was that Ring match with Saori that had gotten the entire student body excited. And the next day---- Sum: That Misugi guy said, right? Most newbies to the sports team quit without even makin' it a month...... Cause of how hard the practice is..... Soooo that means there's gotta be a lot of 1st years already thinkin' about quitting 2-3 days in. Toki: U... Uhuh... Ssso? Sum: I rounded them up! Narration: Summer had directly lured out the 1st years from other teams that looked like they would be quitting soon.
Page 168: Narration: In the process of that, Summer picked a fight with the judo club captain (A judo 2-dan) and somehow actually won...... Summer: HAA HAA SFX: OOOOO Narration: And when the Ring Team captain, Ootake Ken, went to apologize, they told him this. Guy: Hey, Ken, it's okay, you don't need to give back our 1st years! Please, just give us Summer! Handwritten: It'll be a trade!! That guy's gonna be big! Narration: And so... Summer's name became even more well known... Sum: Chie~~~~h... Shit. That Saori, always trying ta look cool. Guy: U-Um~~~, Hanagata-kun... Sum: Oh. You're that guy that used to be on the Baseball Team, right......? ["used to" in italics.] Toba: It's Toba. And uh, used to...? ["used to" in italics.] A... After today, it'll have been a full week, so...... So the provisional enrolment period is over, right...? So now....... Ya know.........
Page 169: Toba: I think it' about time I head back to the baseball.... Sum: AAAAAAH? Huh, what? I didn't catch a word 'a that!! Oh, Toba-kun, seeing you up close like this... you've got a lot of moles on your face... haven't you? Toba: Uh...... Well, sure, but...... Sum: A certain foreigner once told me... People with lots of moles have talent for Ring! Toba: What the hell?! How's that make any sense? What foreigner said that?! Sum: Hey, Toba, try and think back... to that baseball team's practice... You remember the pace they had you running at, right? That was crazy, right? That was like training for the ancient Spartans! I'm sure even if he went back now, you couldn't keep up... So how about a little more physical preparation with the Ring Team? Just another 3 years or so. Guy: Uh...... Is that so~~~ 3 years? Guy: U-Um~~~ Hanagata-kun... I think I kinda wanna get back to the kendo team... Sum: Tanabe~~~, it's still way too soon for tha~~~t! Just hang in there another 5 years. Guy: My name's Suzuki.
Page 170: Ootake: Ooookay! We're having a match today! An intrasquad game! Sum: Huh?! Guys: !! A match...?! Sum: It's here!! The moment's finally cooooome!! SFX: HAYAAAAA Ootake: But before that, we've got about all the 2nd and 3rd years here today, so I want a little self-introduction from all of you. First, the 1st years. Starting with Summer! Sum: This is my chance! My chance to show some real fine plays to Ashuka-senpai! It's my chance! [First and last sentence bold.] Ootake: Starting with SUmmer! Sum: Ashuka-senpai... Please, gaze upon me with those beautiful eyes...... Ootake: Starting with Summer!!
Page 171: Sum: Heh? What? Ootake: Self-introduction. In Bubble: Hurry it up. Sum: Ah... Okay! Here goes, my self-introduction! I'm 1st year, class 3, number 18, Hanagata Natsu! Uhhhhh, I'm 88 centimeters tall!! Guy: We don't care about your height. Sum: My favorite idol is in year 2, class 3... Guys: We don't care about that, either. Okay, next! [2nd sentence big.] Sum: No waaay! Did you need to be so brutal about it? Handwritten: I have so much more to tell. We said that's enough. Toki: I'm in the same class, 1st year class 3. My name's Tokida Kyoshirou....... My height is Guys: I said forget your heights! Ootake: Hm... Okay, Tokida, do you have any Ring experience? Toki: Ah, no. I played basketball in middle school. Ootake: I see... We don't have that many players so even if you're a beginner, if you work hard you've got a chance at becoming a regular. So work hard. Toki: Yes, sir! Ootake: Okay, next!
Page 172: Misugi: I'm year 1 class 3, Misugi Rei. I was on my middle school's Ring Team. My position was Forward. Ootake: Oh... So you have experience? Sounds good. Uh... What's that thing wrapped around your waste...? A wig? Misugi: Ah... Sorry, this is my hair... Ootake: No way! It's so long!!!! Guys: Huh? That's seriously your real hair? Yer kiddin'! Could you unravel it a bit? How many meters long is it?! Say, how many years has it been since you cut that?! Mi: Uh..... I've actually never once had it cut..... It's kinda... the religion in my house...... Guys: Could we move on? Guys: No waaaay! You've never once had it cut?! ["No waaay" bold] What sorta religion is that?! Is everybody's hair long in your family? Man, you guys must spend a fortune on shampoo!! Misugi: Ah... Yeah... Uh, could we go to the next guy now...? This is kinda... Sum: Do you run out of shampoo and conditioner at different rates? Handwritten: Hey, hey! Sum: I'll bet you use way more conditioner with that! Huh?! Misugi: ....... Seriously...
Page 173: Misugi: Enough about my hair alreadyyyy!! Everybody's got their reasons for what they do, okay~~~~! Geez!! SFX: WUAAAH Misugi: I guess it's about 2 meters long? In Bubble: I don't even know. Misugi: I water down shampoo to save money!! That explain everything? Guys: ........ Narration: Misugi Rei---- He got asked about his hair so much, he snapped...... Taba: I... I'm 1st Year Class 7 Taba Jyunichi... I... I'm a rental from the baseball team... right now... Guy: I'm Suzuki Daigo. I'm a... rental from the kendo team. Guy: Nishida Shinobu... I'm from the judo club... Ootake: Okay! With Saori, that's all the 1st years... So after the provisional enrolment period, we've got 15 guys, huh......? That's a pretty respectable number...! Make sure you give it your all, guys!
Page 174: Ootake: I'm the captain, Ootake Ken. In Bubble: I said that, right? Guys: 'Sup. We have 6 3rd years in total. As for 2nd year, there's one guy who's at a youth training camp so he's not here, but in total there are 4! Toki: Junior Youth!! Woah. Misugi: There's an all-Japan level athlete here? Sum: What's that? Is that a big deal? Ootake: Next is the managers!
Page 175: Sum: HA! Asuka: Uh, yes! I'm the manager, Saori Asuka. I'm actually Yousuke's older sister, so hey there, to little brother and all of you... Girls: I'm Nagai! [Heart] I'm Kawaguchi. Asuka: And that's it. We've got a total of 3 managers, all in 2nd year. Guys: S-So cu~~te... To be honest with you, there's one perk here the judo club doesn't have. In Bubble: Aw man... Narration: A senpai be a manager for some reason has a lot of charm... Sum: Nu?! SFX: DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI SAWA SAWA Sum: Don't stare too much, moron! Idiot!! 'Re you an idiot?!! Guy: GYA SFX: BISHI BISHI Narration: By the way, they look normal to people in the same year. Yumiba: Are they really that cute? Guy: Nope. They're just normal.
Page 176: Ootake: Okay, so as for the 1st years' jobs, after practice you have to put away the ground's marking tools, wipe the rings, and clean up the poll. There's some other stuff, but the managers will give you all the details. Also, don't carry off any of the team's stuff. There were approximately 2 people that used out rings without asking the other day... In Bubble: Also it was during class. Sum: Who was it, dammit?! Handwritten: Was it you?! Sum: Obey the rules, man! Misugi: It was you. Ootake: So please don't do that again. Also, this varies from club to club, but the Ring Team has a specific greeting we give each other. "Iissu"! Try saying it. Guys: Iisu. Iisu. Sum: Iyaassu!! Ootake: This means "good", so the goal is for you to always be saying "Let's do well today, too", and "I'm in a good mood" that sorta positive thing. For the 1st years, it also has the meaning of 'It's okay to say anything to my senpais'. Get it? Guys: ISSU!
Page 177: Ootake: All right! And lastly, I'm going to state this year's goals! I'll be blunt, we have the high goal of conquering nationals!! So let's get fired up and do this!! ["I'll be blunt" and "conquering nationals!!" bold/big] Guys: IIISSU!! Ootake: I'll lead the way!! Handwritten: Summer SFX: OOH You: Uh... He said 2 dozen was good, right.......? And the bibs... Guy: Hey, Saori! You joined, huh? You: ! Ah...... Issu! Thanks for the help!
Page 178: Oo: Hm? Iiiissu! Izumi-san! Izumi: I~~~~ssu! GUys: Issu! Iiissu! Oo: That's our coach, Izumi-san. Give him a greeting! Misugi: I...... Iissu! Guys: Scary. UWA~~~~ Sum: A ransom!! Somebody's come to collect a ransom!! [First sentence big/bold] That's the sorta guy who'd hit a car on his own and say 'Dang, my neck hu~~rts'!! [quote bold]
Page 179: Ootake: He's actually an alumnus of our Ring Team. And despite how he looks, he's actually really nice, so relax. Izumi: What about how I look, dangit? Sum: It can't be! He's definitely gonna make everybody do security detail or something!! Izumi: Hoh... We've got quite a few 1st years. How many experienced people do we have? Guy: Hmmm... Well, Saori is first on the list. I guess about 5. Sum: Mu. Izumi: Then let's make it 1st year and 2nd year against the 3rd year in the scrimmage. And I'll join the 3rd year team... Handwritten: Make Seki do the refereeing! Yumi, you get 7 people together between 1st and 2nd year. Izumi: Issu! SFX: JIIII Sum: Hey, hold on a second, Yassan! Izumi: Hm?
Page 180: Sum: Did you forget somebody here? The super rookie, Hanagata Natsu! Izumi: ! Hahaaan... I see...... So you're Summer, huh? Sum: Nu... Izumi: Huhuh... I heard the rumors about you. Looks like we've got somebody we can expect some fun things from... Huhu. But for today, just observe. Handwritten: Since you're a beginner Izumi: Watch your senpai closely from the sidelines. Sum: Heh?
Page 181: Izumi: Now then, we will now begin a match between 3rd year and 1st and 2nd year!! SFX: PIIIH Narration: 1st years Observation Group (Beginners) Sum: Uh... SFX: SHIIIIIN... Sum: No waaaays!! What a humiliation!! I'm like a girl sitting out of phys-ed because of certain circumstances!! Toki: We kinda need to... learn the rules, Summer. Sum: And why the hell does Saori get to play...? I beat him! So why am I not in the game?!! Handwritten: That pisses me off! SFX: NUUUUU Sum: Shi~~~~t! This looks so bad!! Asuka: Fiiiight! Sum: Ashuka-senpai was just shown a really weird play!!

Man these chapters are long... but I got this one done. Just 2 more left in this volume and then I'll finally have a volume fully translated.
[Ring 6 Translation by Kewl0210] Page 135: Summer: NNnnnn NNnnnn that's my first time hearing this! Li'l ol' me hasn't heard aaaanything about this! [Anything big/bold] SFX: BURU BURU Toki: Well, ya did sign the club entry form, Summer. For the "Ring Team". [quote bold] Sum: No way! I'm shuffling through my whole brain and there's no data on that! Maybe I didn't save. Toki: You don't mind joining the Ring Team, do you? Your beloved Asuka-senpai is their manager, after all. Sum: Huh? Seriously?! Toki: What? You didn't even know that? Sum: Seriously~~~~?! Are you being serious with me right now, Toki~~~~?! Toki: Seriously. Sum: Is that right? Then Asuka-senpai was scouting me, her beloved, I guess~~~~ Person: You should quit that Ring Team, Hanagata-kun. Sum: Mu? Title: Ring6: Dream Story
Page 136: Sum: HUUUUUH?! WHAT IS THIS?! A new species?!! Person: I'm Nobumi, I'm the manager of the "track-and-field team'. Nice to meet you! [Heart] Sum: Huh? Nobumi: I came to see you. Hanagata-kun, you came into this school as someone recommended for the track-and-field team, right? Sum: Huh? Uh........ Er....... Wha? Was I?
Page 137: Nobumi: The advisor and everyone on the team will be awaiting you. Maybe pop in today if you get a chance. Sum: No waaaay! This ain't good, Toki. Do I have to join the track-and-field team?! Toki: Well, usually that's how it goes... With you being recommended and everything. Nobumi: You wouldn't... SFX: PITA Nobumi: say you're going to join the "Ring Team", right? The one with that clumsy manager with the irritating kansai dialect... Sum: Whu? SFX: PIKU Nobumi: You really should quit. You'd only be chasing after some crazy dream that sounds nice but would never work out... Sum: Hey, hold on, Erotic-kappa! Handwritten: Erotic-kappa? SFX: NMA! Sum: Who are you calling a clumsy manager? And what's a nice sounding dream that would never work out?
Page 138: Nobumi: Oh? What's wrong? You sound annoyed, Hanagata-kun. Huhu... How cute. Sum: The manager with the kansai dialect, is it Asuka-senpai you're talking about? Nobumi: Oh... You know her? She's in the same class as me. She's always going on about 'dominating nationals' all the time... [quote bold] But our school's Ring Team has never even made it to nationals... Sum: ...... Nobumi: Dominating nationals? That's a dream within a dream... Makes you want to tell her to get her head outta the clouds. Toki: ...... Nobumi: So Hanagata-kun, rather than waste your youth, something you only get one chance at, on that clumsy dream story, ["clumsy dream story" bold] There's no doubt in my mind that spending your time on the track-and-field team which has actual results to our name will be more fulfilling... There's really nothing to think about, is there?
Page 139: Sum: DYAHAHAHAHA Yeah. Definitely nothing to think about. Nobumi: Hm? Sum: Going through youth without a single dream...? What's attractive about a bunch of meaningless achievements? I've made up my mind... I'm joining the "Ring Team"...!! Nobumi: -----Wha? You cheeky little...... Toki: Summer... Sum: They're good things, ain't they? Dream stories...? If "conquering nationals" is Asuka-senpai's dream... then I'll just have to make it come true......!!
Page 140-141: Title: Ring6: Dream Story
Page 142: SFX: KIIN KOOHN KAAN KOOHN Somebody: But it's we~~~~ird! What is? SFX: PACHI Toki: Somebody who entered the school on a recommendation choosing to go to another club on his own, and they're just allowing it that easily? Sum: I guess my scalding passion must've gotten through to them! My utter devotion to the Ring Team... Toki: Uh, but you were just annoyed at that girl insulting Asuka-senpai, weren't you? Guy: Well, about that... That's just because of how this school is. Toki: Hm? Ah! You're...
Page 143: Toki: Super-long-hair-kun! Guy: Hey. Sum: Who is this guy...? Toki: Super-long-hair-kun. He's in our class. Uh... Misugi: I'm Misugi. Nice to meetcha, Summer. Sum: Hm? Misugi: I'm on the "Ring Team", too... Guess we'll be out there giving it our all together. Hey, practice is about to start. Let's get going, Summer. Sum: Man, his hair's long!!
Page 144: Guys: What did you mean... Because that's how this school is, Misugi? Misugi: Well... This school's famous for our skill at sports... So we've got a lot of recommendation slots. Every team's full of elites scouted from comes from middle schools all over the place... Like Summer... But even among those recruits, most of them... quit the teams in under a month... Usually because they can't keep up with the rigorous practices... Toki: ....... Sum: Hmm... So basically...
Page 145: Misugi: If people who aren't really into it just join because they're forced they just end up quitting, so it ends up as just a waste of time... Toki: ......... I see... So that's why they didn't refuse Summer...... In Bubble: It was all purposeful. Sum: Ya know... That kinda... puts a bad taste in my mouth. Handwritten: HMM Sum: That Ero-kappa... So the reason she didn't stop me was to make me regret it because of how hard it'd be......!! Misugi: OWOWOWOW! You're stepping on it, man! Sum: Ah, sorry.
Page 146: You: Hey, first years!! You're late, dammit!! Hurry it up! Toki: Oh. Misugi: Sorry, Saori. Sum: AAAA! Saori, you bastard! What, are you trying to look cool by being all diligent on your own and shit?! You: Ah? What is it, Summer...? Why're you here? Sum: That's because I'm the guy that accepted an offer directly from Asuka-senpai! The Ring Team's hope, the Super Rookie has arrived...!! ["Super Rookie has arrived" big/bold]
Page 147: You: Huuuuh? Yer kiddin' me! You really joined? There's no way you'll make it in here. You should quit. ["You should quit" bold.] Sum: You idiot! My goal is "conquering nationals"! Until I achieve that, I'm not quitting no matter what happens!! You: Heh? You're really inta this? Sum: M...... Mmmm, well, I won't deny that I've got a touch of love fever. You: Okay, fine. For now, just hurry and get ready. First years have a lot 'a work! Handwritten: And I could really use some help! Asuka: S... Summer-kun... I was really impressed... by what you just said... Sum: !!!! Huh...? ASHUKAH! SENPYAI! SFX: URU URU (Tearing up)
Page 148: Asuka: "Conquering nationals"... That's always been my dream, too...... Sum: Huh? HUH?! HUWHAHAH? Fer real? What a coincidence! We've got the same dream, eh? Toki: Oh, come on... Asuka: I really... hope that dream comes true one day... Winning all of nationals... Sum: It will!! I'll make it come true for you tomorrow!! We'll toss each other into the air to celebrate our victory!! Asuka: Uh... Really? I don't think it's gonna happen tomorrow, though... Sum: Aaaaaall right! Let's do thiis!! Koushien, here we coooome!!! Asuka: ............ Baseball? T/N: Koushien Stadium is where the high school baseball nationals are held. Toki: That guy's the kinda guy who'll always do something if he says he's gonna... Asuka: Ah, Tokida-kun! Toki: Though he's a beginner when it comes to Ring... Asuka: What about you, Tokida-kun? Have you joined any clubs? Toki: Ah, no. I still haven't joined anywhere....
Page 149: Nobumi: What's that noooow? Inviting people again? I think it's time you put an end to this vain struggle of yours, Asuka. Asuka: Ah. Nobumi! Nobumi: Huhu. Sum: MUMUMU! This evil aura...! Couldn' be... SFX: SO~~~ Sum: UWAAA! It is! It's here! The Ero-kappa has appeared once again!! Nobu: I heard there are only 6 new people joining the Ring Team this year, is that right? Must be tough being on such an unpopular teaaaam, Asuka... Huhu. Sum: Muh. SFX: PIKU
Page 150: Nobumi: What's the result of all your frantic inviting. Don't you think you should be worried about the club's future at this point? Forget nationals, you might end up not having enough players to hold a match soon---- Huhu... And that'll be the end of your dream. Asuka: Th... That isn't so................ I mean, sure we haven't got that many new members...... But I think everyone that's joined this year has "enthusiasm"... And I'm sure if we keep working hard, we'll gather more people...! Nobu: Huhu... I see. Says you... Then gather 10 members or more in the week-long provisional club enrollment period! If you can't do that, then quit the Ring Team, Asuka... Asuka: Wh... what...? I would never say that I would quit... Nobumi: Didn't you say before that you'd take responsibility by quitting...?
Page 151: Asuka: I never said that! Toki: ...... Ummmm, excuse me... Nobumi: Hm? Asuka: Tokida-kun... Toki: I don't know why you're going so far to speak badly of the Ring Team, Nobumi-san... But I don't think it's a good thing to be putting down people's dreams... Even if you're part of another team, we're in the same school... Don't you think we should be helping each other out......? Nobu: Uh, well... Well, you sure are eager, you cheeky kid. Asuka: Tha's right! You're absolutely right, Tokida-kun! Nobumi: Hmph... Then you'd better work really hard. I'll be looking forward to seeing how many people you've got a week from now...... Huhu. Asuka: Geez...... Wha's with her? I just......... I never said a single thing about me quitting... That Nobumi has the worst personality! Handwritten: And her face is scary. Toki: ...Why's there such an aura of animosity with that person?
Page 152: Somebody: Hm~~~~... It's not just Nobumi. The clubs in this school don't really get along with each other very well... It's like they're rivals with the teams of the same school before they're rivals to the other schools. SFX: GYU Misugi: Okay! Let's get going, Summer! Hm... Huh? Summer? Asuka: And out of the lot of them... the most powerful one is the "baseball team"! There's 100 people on that team. Both literally and figuratively, they're our school's symbol.
Page 154: Sum: Looks like a long, tough practice, hu~~~h? I kinda don't think you'll be able to keep it up... Guy: ...Huh? Sum: I know a great team! How 'bout you just join for a week for the provisional period? Guy: Uh.......? ......No... H... Hold on... Sum: It's fi~~ne, it'll be fi~~ne! Guy: Uh, really wanna play baseball... Sum: I'll be great, just c'mon! And we've got more crime scenes to get to. Guy: Crime scenes? Narration: 2 weeks later---- Toki: Hm~~ That's weird... Where'd Summer get off to? I came to see him practice... Sum: Toki, I fou~~~nd you! Toki: Ah! Summer! Where've you been...?
Page 155: Toki: Huh?! What the hell happened to your face, Summer?! Sum: Yeah...... Those judo team guys are really strong, I guess...... It was really hard to get any of 'em ta come with me... SFX: OWw... Toki: ......Huh? Sum: Toki... You'll come with me, won'cha...? Guy: Oooookay! 1st and 2nd years, gather 'round!! Okay! Hm...? SFX: ZURARI
Page 156: Guy: So few!!!! Hey, manager, are these all the first years this year? Asuka: Ah... Y...Yes. Um... I got 6 people. ["6 people" bold.] As of now... Guy: Hey, hey, you guys should be putting more spirit into this, Yumiba~~~!! Yumi: Ha~~yeah... Sorry...... Without Red here...... we couldn't be all that bold in our inviting... Guy: I don't want excuses, moron!! You: ......Uh, huh? Where's Summer? Did he not show? Misugi: Ah..... Well... He was here, but he disappeared all of a sudden. You: He throw in the towel already? In Bubble: Before we even started? Guy: Well... I guess we'll just have to make do with this many people. Okay, guys... I'm the captain, Ootake. Sum: Sorry we're laaate!!! Guy: Hm?
Page 157: Sum: I'm the guy who's gonna lead the Ring Team to 'conquer nationals'!! The first year Hanagata Natsu and his comrades have arrived!! SFX: DOOOOOON Guy: Aaaah, Summer! Where'd ya go? You: Who're they...? Auska: ..... Summer-kun! Ootake: A... Aren't... you...... The guy that scored that miracle goal... Who uh... are those guys? Ain't they first years in other clubs? Sum: Yeah, they all used to be in other clubs, but... They said they've just gotta give this unknown sport a try! Guy: We never said any of that...
Page 158: Ootake: You're not saying that you...... forced people from other teams to come here?! That's strictly forbidden at this school...!! Sum: Strictly...? Wha's that? What country's language is that? Ootake: Aw... Geez... Now I've got even more crap to take care of. I've gotta go around to the other teams and apologize...... Looks like we've got a real problem child on our hands again this year...... Sum: Okay, everybody! For now, change clothes!! Go make full use of our rooms!! Guys: ...... Sum: No need to be bashful!! I knew you were somethin', senpyai! [Heart] Asuka: ! Sum: This year's uh... Whadda ya call it... a good harvest! It worked out perfect, we got more than 10 people!...... ["more than 10 people" bold.] Asuka: Ah. Toki: Hm~~... Geez, Summer...... Is that what you did...? Narration: Toki (victim) that ended up joining the team in all the confusion.

I really thought I might be in trouble yesterday, but man, today my heart's beating out of my chest... Toki: Uh~~~~... Well you did definitely become famous around school real fast.
Page 118: Tokida: Anyhow, what was it like, Summeeer? Getting that short from that distance... Was it different from doing a ring-toss at a festival booth or something, right? Sum: Hm......... Uh............... ......I guess so...... ......... ............. How to describe it................ SFX: DOKUN DOKUN
Page 119: Sum: You should try it, Toki... Then you'll get the idea... Toki: ......! Summer... Sum: ............... Though it's really not the same without the prizes.

Page 127: Sum: Nu? Yumiba: I'd like to dash straight to the point... but before that, I need you to sign this. Then we can talk with a way more lax atmosphere... Paper: Club Joining Contract Ring Team Year Class Number Handwritten: HAe? Wa Team...? What's that? T/N: "Wa" is an alternate reading for the kanji for Ring. Usually read "Rin". They pronounce it like the English word "Ring" though.
Page 128: Yumiba: I see... He doesn't even know what Ring is, huh...? Asuka: Ah... Well, Summer-kun. It's written as 'Wa' but it's read as 'ring'. Sum: HAH! It's Asuka-senpai! [Heart] She's so cu~~~te! Guy: Heey! Yumibaa!! Don't go flying, now, you bastaaard!! SFX: BAN Swimmer: Free agents need to be given an introduction first!! You can't make a newborn lamb of a new student that doesn't know his left from his right to sign something right off the bat!! Yumiba: Wh.. What the hell, guys...? I'm gonna give him the introduction and all that. For real. Handwritten: Hey, yooou! Swimmer: C'mon, Hanagata-kun! Forget about this shady-lookin' team. Come hear all about our synchronized swim team! Guy: No, check out our Judo team, first! Guy: No, c'mon, the Kabaddi team!! Sum: Hey... Handwritten: C'mon C'mon Yumiba: Th... This doesn't look good... Asuka: They hauled him off... SFX: AAAAA
Page 129: Toki: Saori-senpa~~i! Asuka: Ah, Tokida-kun! Tokida: There sure is... quite a fuss going on, isn't there? Asuka: Yes...... Sports are very popular at this school. Every last club is desperate to get the best raw talent on their team as possible... And unfortunately it's only the "Ring Team" that's never gone to nationals... Also the budgets given to the clubs vary greatly on how well they perform every year... so the "Ring Team" is already only hanging on by a thread... Once the current 3rd years retire, we think the Ring Team might be done for.... Toki: I see... SFX: AAA AA Toki: So then... Summer... Asuka: Yumibacchi, hurry, go get Summer-kun! The other clubs are gonna beat us to him! Handwritten: Okay, got it. Toki: Summer doesn't think that's the reason, though... Handwritten: Mm... Guys: Hey, Hey, Hanagata-kun! You won't have to pick up any balls on our team! We're a Sumo team, but the outfits won't be too revealing!! You don't need to be fat! We don;t have any hierarchical relationships based on seniority, but romantic relationships are...... okay. [Heart] [The "Okay" and the periods are white.] If you act right now, I can offer you a vice-captain chair! Just for one day! Summer: ...... SFX: AAAA
Page 130: Sum: Shut uuuup! You damn sport fanatics!!! In Bubble: Get away from me! Sum: I only came here so I could see Asuka-senpaiiiii!!! Honestly, I just wanted to confirm the state of our LOVE!! SFX: ALL THIS SWEAT STIIIINKS! Sum: And like I've got the time to join any clubs!! Where'd you go, Asuka-senpaaaaai?! Guys: AAAH Wait, dammiiit!! Don't let him get awaaaay! SFX: ORAAAA SFX: UOOOO DODODODDODODODODODODODODODO Yumiba: Uoh! He... He's really fast! That's it... The speed we saw! And he's doing it in a gym with only socks on... I could understand if he had tons of holes on the bottoms of his socks but... Handwritten: Bingo! Yumiba: Anyhow, we need legs like that on our Ring Team...!! He can fill the Wing Position that's been weak for so long!!
Page 131: Yumi: And that incredible sense for Ring that got him that miraculous goal... If we polish it, it'll become a shining ore!! SFX: WAAAAAAAAA DODODODODODODO Sum: Nu Aaaah, Saori! Are they chasing after you, too? You: Aw, geez. I told you I didn't wanna go to thiiiis!! Geez. These guys... I said I was gonna joing the "Ring Team"... But they don't friggin' give up... So this is why they call it a battle? Handwritten: So annoying Asuka: Inviting new recruits is the 2nd years' job, so you guys will have to work real hard on it next year, Yousuke. So make sure ya learn all yer senpais' secret techniques! You: What the hell am I supposed ta learn from this...?!! Asuka: Summer-kuuun! Just sign the "Ring Team Joining Contract" for now!! If you just sign it, then the other teams can't try to get you to join them! It's an unspoken rule! Handwritten: Hurry!
Page 132: You: WHUUUUUH?! Why didn' ya say so sooner, Big Sis Asu!! [First sentence big] Sum: AAAAAAAAAH! Asuka-senpaaaaaai! [Heart] In Bubble: Is that where you were?

Pounded into a hole dug in the ground, then wrapped in a mat. There are also varying designs for the actual pole. ○The size of the pole for high school students and above is 3 meters. Middle school is 2 m 70 cm. Elementary school is 2m 30cm. There is a goal circle with a 60cm radius extending from the center of the goal. It's against the rules for players to step or put their feet inside this circle. But for cases where someone slams into the goal because of momentum, the goal must be wrapped in a mat.

Ok, at long last I've started translating this! Woo. This series is pretty good. Though only 3 volumes long. I've wanted to do it for a while, partially because it's Shimabukuro-sensei's only series besides Toriko and Takeshi and it's way shorter than Takeshi. Now to do... the rest.
[Ring 1 Translation by Kewl0210] Author Flap: There's no real sport called Ring. It's a fictional game. I just made it up. Some parts are a little clumsy, but I hope you enjoy it in a broad-minded way...!
