It's okay! I'm not going to make it!
Stop it! You've done enough! You're gonna fall, too!
It's not going to work! There's no way you can pull me up!
What? What the hell?
What the hell are you two doing?
You're gonna die if you fall!
What's going on? It just moved! It really moved! Right?
It did!
I'm a professional.
Y-You mean my left arm can be fixed?
Of course it can, just like it's supposed to be.
In my opinion, it won't take much to fix it.
There he goes again with his own common sense!
Um... But I can never box again, right?
Boxing? You must be kidding me!
You can even aim for the world championship in arm wrestling!
Your joke isn't sharp enough yet today!
There's no way!
- I'm home. - Hmm?
It seems like something is bothering him.
As a father I'd better be straightforward and ask him what it is!
"Elmonte Tomato Sauce"
I can't open it because it's so tight. Honey, will you open it for me?
Oh, sure! Let's see... This is a job for the father.
S-So tight!
How dare this thing! It's just tomato sauce!
Uh, it's okay if you can't...
I can!
I'll run hot water over it.
Quiet! You just get out of here!
That's impressive for a jar of tomato sauce.
"You too!"
I'll just open a different one.
Here.
What the...
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
To think that that Kenichi who used to be so weak is now stronger than I am.
It makes me sad and happy at the same time...
Isn't that right, tomato sauce?
"Yes, yes."
"Complete Love Romance Manual" "Daigakkan" "I'm all set!" "Extra Bonus! How to propose"
Hmm...
"Complete Love Romance Manual" "Daigakkan" "I'm all set!" "Extra Bonus! How to propose" I see. So a guy needs to be more aggressive...
Aggressive, huh?
But the thing is that Miu-san has this aura that makes it hard to approach her...
First of all, when I'm at Ryozanpaku I'm just too busy training,
I barely have time to chitchat with her.
And if it stays this way, it's really pointless to keep going to Ryozanpaku.
Bastard!
I can't really call that time a date.
I sure would like to go on a real date with her.
Big Brother! What are you reading?
It's n-n-n-nothing, Honoka!
And why did you barge into your brother's room like this?
What's that? What's that? Why are you hiding it? Let me see it!
Stop it, you idiot! Go away! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
Oh?
Hmm, so what you say to her as you part ways is the key, huh?
Dad, when did you come in here?
If you're still reading books like these, you still have a long way to go!
Kenichi, there's no manual for love.
You must win the girl in your own way!
Dad, you're so cool!
But I have no confidence without the book!
You're pathetic!
In my generation, it was passion that drove us, not a book!
Actually, it was your mother that aggressively approached me.
She totally put me on the spot then!
She was very romantic.
Some of the things she wrote in her love letters used to blow me away!
But Miu-san isn't that type.
That titsy!!
A-Anyway, you make sure that you're always genuine and honest with her.
You just go from there.
O-Okay.
Genuine and honest, huh?
But we're not even dating yet... it's kind of pointless...
That's odd... I recall that it was you who sent me love letters.
If you'd like, perhaps I can present these letters as evidence
and read them out loud in front of the kids.
Honey, give me a break!
Takeda was defeated?
Yes.
See, I told you!
This is what happens when you let that boxer wannabe be in charge of this!
Shut up, Tsuji! Just go back to your group.
Hmph!
Boy... To think that Shirahama guy made it this far...
You've been trying to recruit more guys,
but actually losing them one by one instead. This is pretty bad!
Shinnosuke Tsuji...
How insolent of him to speak to Kisara-sama that way,
even if he's one of the executive members...
Kenichi Shirahama...
We can't leave a man like him out on his own.
It'll be a big problem for us if he joins up
with some group other than the Ragnarok.
Yeah, that's true.
Let's change our plan here.
We're going to have the boy destroyed instead.
Hold on, Kisara.
No.
Wait!
You've got a problem with that?
No. But let me...
take care of that kid.
Well, I'm sure you're already aware of this,
but someone has damaged the fence on the rooftop.
Our school building is 60 years old and falling apart.
It is very dangerous, so I forbid you to go to the rooftop!
Now be careful on the way home!
Um...
What, cowa- I mean, Kenichi? You want something?
I'm sorry... about the other day.
I think it was my fault that Shimayama-kun and Tanaka-kun
got mixed up in an incident like that.
I just wanted to apologize to you for that.
Uh, right...
Wh-What's going on?
Do you think this is some kind of trap?
Normally we would be the ones who should be apologizing
to him for running away, right? Don't you think?
Is it possible that-
He's just a sucker?
Is he a sucker?
D-Don't worry about that.
We're classmates after all, you know?
Oh, thank goodness! So you guys forgive me?
S-Sure.
I thought you guys were holding a grudge against me
for having you involved with something that doesn't concern you, so...
Kenichi-san!
Oh, I'll be right there!
See you guys tomorrow!
Miu-san, there's something I want to talk to you about later.
Do not-
...speak idle words!
All right, it's over.
Are you okay?
Y-Yeah... Sort of.
I wish she wouldn't have kicked me if she was going to be so concerned...
Now that I think about it, were you going to say something to me earlier?
N-N-Nothing at all!
Oh, I see.
Well, I have to go and prepare the dinner.
I couldn't ask her out after all... I really have no courage.
My advice?
Ask me anything other than money and women!
Then, never mind.
What?
I feel so rejected...
What? A relationship problem?
"Philosophy"
This could become a rather philosophical discussion.
- Are you okay with that? - Eh?
Therefore, you end up with this formula.
Uh, thanks. It's been very educational.
What does Copernicus have to do with asking a girl out?
Chu, chu, chu! Chu, chu, chu...
Apapapapa! Apa!
We have a new record.
- Apapapapa! Papa! Apapapa... - I wish there was someone else...
I could talk to about this...
I wish there was someone...
Wait!
What is it?
Don't look so displeased in such an obvious manner!
When it comes to love and romance,
it's a wise idea to ask Kensei Ma for advice!
Just wait! Just wait! Please listen to me!
I might not look it, but I used to be a playboy
and experienced countless numbers of love relationships!
They call me the Brilliant Genji of China!
"The Brilliant Genji of China" They call me the Brilliant Genji of China!
"The Brilliant Genji of China" Hmm...
Hey, you! You save that kind of attitude-
"Kensei 17 years old"
...until you actually see my picture from when I was younger!
P-Pretty boy?
Oh, time sure has passed...
I don't need your pity.
Oh, stuff like that?
If you want to take her out on a date, then you should just ask her!
D-Don't say it like it's nothing!
Dealing with a normal girl is one thing, but with her,
she might react with a forearm blow or something!
Kenichi, it sounds like you can't even trust her.
What kind of relationship would it be without that anyway?
But it's just that I don't really know much about Miu-san...
"Miu's Secret Photo Collection" But it's just that I don't really know much about Miu-san...
"Miu's Secret Photo Collection" This is the special edition I created.
"Miu's Secret Photo Collection" Right now it's only 3200 yen. Tax is not included.
How could you make stuff like that? How could you? How could you?
Whoa, you're mad?!
How could you?
You're the most wonderful Chinese in Japan!
I'll make this my family jewel!
I don't really get it, but thanks anyway.
Next time I'll bring one of Shigure-don.
Even Koetsuji-sensei told me that the most important thing
in the relationship is to understand your partner!
What are you two doing?
- N-Nothing! - N-Nothing!
C-Can I help you with something?
Well, Kenichi-san, if you don't mind,
will you please go shopping with me tomorrow?
"Huh?" Huh?
And, can I also have three pumpkins and one watermelon please?
You sure are a cute young lady.
How about another watermelon? It's on me.
What the heck... She just wanted me to carry stuff for her, huh?
Thank you. You really are a big help.
Today turned out to be a very important day,
in that I learned what Atlas must've felt.
Huh? What do you mean by that?
Atlas is a giant who continues to support the sky in Greek mythology.
"The giant that supports the sky in Greek Mythology" Atlas is a giant who continues to support the sky in Greek mythology.
"The giant that supports the sky in Greek Mythology" "Atlas" Atlas is a giant who continues to support the sky in Greek mythology.
"The giant that supports the sky in Greek Mythology" "Atlas" But I don't think she'd understand what I'm talking about...
Maybe I got a little carried away and bought too much stuff...
I had faith in her...
You know, we need a lot of groceries,
so I always ask someone to come along and help me.
But the thing is, Ma-san and Akisame-san are always busy,
And if I bring Apachai-san with me, he'll ask me to buy dandies,
and if I bring Sakaki-san, he'll ask me to buy alcohol, so...
Oh, I see.
Besides...
Huh?
Things have been pretty hectic lately
and I haven't had a chance to talk to you, so...
Miu-san...
After all, you're my very first friend that I've made.
I want to treasure our friendship!
"Friend," huh? Oh, well...
See? There they are!
Huh?
This is that forehead girl's regular shopping route!
Yeah. Good job, Koga of the kicks.
Hiya, big forehead!
R-Ragnarok?
I'm impressed that you work your weight training
even into your shopping errands, Shirahama.
Come with me for a sec. I've got a good proposal.
We're in the middle of shopping! Please don't bother us!
Don't worry about it. We're not gonna mess with your girl.
I actually tried to stop them so Miu-san wouldn't jump at them...
I want to talk to you man-to-man without interruption.
She can go home now.
Hey, that wasn't the plan!
We were going to frickin' kill Shirahama,
and I was gonna get the forehead girl-
Get out of here, you piece of shit!
You're the kind of guy, I hate the most.
Y-You son of a bitch!
You tricked me!
You bastard!
Garbage should stay asleep in the garbage!
He grabbed his kick and threw him off!
Oh, no! I just remembered that I forgot to
take the burnable garbage out today!
Is that what you're more concerned about?
What, you got scared? You're a man, aren't you?
Come on, man up and follow me.
Huh?
Hello! We have your child!
Like I told you many times before,
that's not the right way to answer the phone, Apachai-san.
Kenichi-san is in big trouble. Oh, no, they're leaving!
I'm going to leave the stuff in front of the corner store,
so please come and pick it up!
Okay, I got it! Did you trace the call?
What? Trace the call?
Right or left? Which way did they go?
To the right!
The voice must be Ma-san's! Thank you for your help-
Wh-What are you taping?
Your butt!
What are you doing here?
I've been following you since this morning.
I heard that this was a date,
so I was looking forward to see what would happen.
To think he was just used as a porter...
I actually feel a little sorry for Ken-chan.
The guy with crazy hair...
He's probably stronger than Ken-chan right now.
I knew it!
We have to chase him quick!
What are you going to do when you catch up to him?
Are you going to beat him up for Ken-chan again?
What? Well, that's...
That's going to hurt Ken-chan.
Miu, you must understand
that unnecessary support could end up hurting him instead.
Well, but I can't just ignore it.
You're right. Then let's follow them discreetly.
They're still there. Kids these days sure don't have strong legs.
If things get really bad, we'll help him just a little discreetly.
What? So you'd come with me, too?
Well, I am worried about him, too.
After all, Kenichi is our one and only admirable disciple.
Let me get right to the point. I want you to be my subordinate!
What?
I've heard that Kisara's fighters have been messing with you lately.
And I don't have half-ass men like them in my group.
You know they're planning to destroy you.
If you join us, they won't be able to mess with you.
So, what do you say? I like strong guys.
I'll be sure to take care of you.
What is it that you want to do?
Isn't it obvious?
The value of a man is determined by the number of men who are under him!
I'm going to grow my group bigger and bigger,
and one day it will become the top of the Ragnarok!
And what will you do once you become the top?
You can't go on being a delinquent after you graduate from high school.
Even the guys who are under you will have to go out and get a job one day!
"Sound Argument"
B-Boss, take it easy!
Please calm down!
How dare you give me that complicated crap, Shirahama?
Can't you understand the man's greatest ambition?
To men, it's all about freedom, you know!
Freedom is everything except what harms others.
In other words,
as long as you delinquents are doing whatever you want
and causing trouble for others, that's not-
Freedom!
That's tyranny!
B-Boss!
Come on, Boss!
At any rate, I will not join you! Bye.
Wait, Kenichi Shirahama!
Fight me!
We don't have a reason to fight.
We do!
You just insulted our freedom!
Since I can't beat you with words, I'll fight you with my fists!
Even since the old days,
men have always decided who was right with their fists!
You have no objection to that, right?
I hate dealing with people like him...
I-I'm against violence.
What? You're just all talk then, you damn coward!
Ouch. He said it.
Who are you calling... a coward?
Now that's the eyes I like! But that's too bad.
We could've been on the same side.
Save your sleep talk until you're asleep!
I will never become a delinquent even if you kill me!
Oh, no, it's started...
I guess I'd better take this. This is our disciple's fight.
Now bring it on, you little brat!
This is how men should fight!
Fighting with words is what women and children do!
I think using violence, just because you
can't win theoretically, is what a bastard does!
You called me a bastard? Sh-Shut up, you sissy!
You really are scared, aren't you, sissy? Sissy!
S-Stop calling me a sissy, you violent moron!
V-Violent... moron?
Yaay! Moron! You idiot! You dumb ass!
Hey, did he just call him a moron?
Yeah, he sure did.
This is not good...
No one has ever survived after having called boss
"Moron! Yeah, it's you! Crazy hair!" of the Ragnarok Tsuji crew, Shinnosuke Tsuji, a moron before.
What' the deal with this guy? He's wide open.
The ones who call other guys idiots are...
The real morons!!
You bastard!
He did it!
B-Boss!
Good punch.
That wasn't good enough?
Here comes another one!
Nice move!
Why you!
That was a good one.
It's hard to believe that guy is stronger than Kenichi-san though...
The outcome of a fight isn't necessarily determined by their abilities.
Huh?
Heh, way to go, Shirahama! Come on, man!
I'll let you punch one more time.
What's the matter? You chickened out?
Come on, go ahead and punch me.
Wh-What's up with this guy?
Heh, you can't do it?
You coward!
Why you!!
M-My fist!
At this rate, Ken-chan will lose.
Amefuri de kakurete mo

Come on, Shirahama! Get up! You're a man, aren't you?
I admit that was a pretty good punch
To think you can still talk smack to me...
After all you are the man that I have approved.
You're one impressive bastard.
But it's too bad. There's one fatal flaw in your fighting style.
F-Flaw?
The way you fight is way too proper!
Listen to me. Fighting is all about your instinct!
Shut up! Who do you think you are? This fight isn't over yet! Here I come!
