Wow, this took me a few tries. I couldn't figure out I was supposed to post here for a while...

Anyways...

Anybody remember him? Not me. From chapter 5 is like several millenia ago... long forgotten.

I'm a little surprised... I can imagine Japan having less kids on the internet than America, but the way they show it, it's like no one owns a computer ANYWHERE...

Almost all manga and anime I've read and watched are like that... Are computers rare in Japan or what?

Wait, now that I think back, wasn't Chiba a hikikimori-type too? (Don't bother me with the specifics of the term, I'm saying he stayed at home and didn't come out)

I wonder if Adachi's past is going to be explored...

Yeah, did anyone else figure out Adachi was going to try to go into the game to get him out? I felt it coming a mile away :D

Looooool, their character choices are so innapropriate, it doesn't suit any of them...

I felt that the chapter name was going to come into it when they got into character creation :D

It's funny how they're talking about it like they aren't sitting right next to eachother...

A cyclops-rabbit? That's a new idea :O

Wait, what!? He used his real name as his game-name!? I guess identity theft isn't a problem in Japan... >:O

Lol 3 seconds later Shinagawa points it out(I think it was Shinagawa, it doesn't sound like something Adachi would point out)

Wow, this chapter was interesting :D

Keep it coming!~

[Noc and NC]

"My only action is Sell!" favorite line of the chapter lol.

Did anyone notice Rinka serving tea at the beginning? The more I watch her, the more girly things I see her doing. No wonder no one thinks she's a tough girl, she'd make the perfect housewife! When going by the anime/manga stereotype, anyways.

"Then at least he's not as bad as Chiba!" second favorite line. Shinagawa's just dishing them out. I guess that's why he's such an awesome main character (granted, the entire cast is unique and fun). He's grown away from his delinquent ways, but I like that the author keeps his jerk behavior.

And CHIBA. I love the guy, but I just relished this chapter for poking fun at him. Being a shut-in is no laughing matter, but the way YtM does it makes my guilt go away :P.

Thanks for the awesome chapter scanlator team, you did as great a job as always.

[Jstar300]

LM-****ing-AO. The MMORPG . . . bbl, laughing to the moon and back.

[~Chi-u_Chi-u~]

funny chapter, they going to play the game and what is Daichi , he is look weaker than another , so i think that he is merchant , how can he will attack someone? throwing basket? :D , and i think that in the next chapter we will see some more battle from this game too

[Teffik]

I think at least one of the character choices is appropriate. And that is Izumi! How so you ask? Well he is riding a steed. Mounted character then. So what was he in the past in real life? Part of a Bosozoku gang. Make the connection yet?

[Azamiko]

Yeah, but Izumi is definitely no 'white knight' type. If anything, he'd be the 'black knight.' :b

I wonder why they even have the apple-seller option...? Well, merchant-characters are options in some more modern MMORPGs, but...It's still not something you'd expect. He's gotta be able to fight somehow, or else how would he gain levels...?

[Noc and NC]

He'd probably level up based on how well he does on selling things. If it was a non-profit sale then he wouldn't get any points, but if he makes more money then the apples are worth then he gets experience, making his character more convincing and intelligent. Or something. I don't play MMORPGs too often.

The mounted character does suit Izumi fairly well, though he's no knight in shining armor lol.

I personally think the mage/ wizard/ sorceress/ whatever you want to call it type character fits Rinka, pointing to her underlying gentle tendencies. But that's just me.

[Cheese Ninja]

Anybody else think Kumagaya Makoto is female? I haven't read ahead or anything, it just seems like they could be using gender non-specific pronouns in this last chapter. (I can't read the raw, so I'm just guessing here. The scanlation certainly does use a few male pronouns, but none from Kawasaki.)

bushwhacker2k
Actually, I think computers are probably pretty common, Adachi and Shinagawa are the wierd ones here.

another note: Kumagaya isn't the only person using their real name in the game, Adachi is too.

[Noc and NC]

Makoto is generally a boy's name in Japan, but considering how the character's friend uses gender non-specific words when talking about them, the student council is just assuming it's a boy. With this set up, Makoto probably will end up being a girl and shocking everyone. If it is a boy after all, then kudos to the mangaka for fooling my senses.

[Cheese Ninja]

I have now spoiled myself with the raws up to the end of volume 8.


Makoto is a girl.

We hear more about Izumi's past which doesn't seem particularly noteworthy, but still nothing about Adachi's yakuza ties.

Somehow Shinagawa fails to equate no glasses, no braids Adachi, with Adachi. It's bad enough in other stories, it's even worse in this one, since he's seen her glasses come off and her hair become undone like that so many times already.

[Noc and NC]

Oooh, another new chapter!

"How does 200g sound?" YES. Yes, I was sooo waiting for him to say that. I knew it was going to happen during a fight. The following repitition of "My only action is Sell!!!" made it all the more hilarious. Shinagawa, you slay me.

Chiba was awesome! Even if he lost, he was still awesome! And now it looks like we're going to see that top-grade intelligence of his play a part in the story!

[Hito]

wow two chapters in one day! awesome

[~Chi-u_Chi-u~]

nice new chapter , and i think that Daichi is totally useless in battle roles because he cant do anything but he is merchant , so that he cant attack for sure , and i think that maybe in the chapter they will find that why Kawasaki doesnt come to school , and maybe they will go to his house too

[bushwhacker2k]

http://www.onemanga.com/Yankee-kun_to_Megane-chan/40/08/
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD!
Shinagawa's rating in my favorite manga character list just SKYROCKETED!

Ooo, a chapter where Chiba fights!

Ooooo! Chiba is cool now :D

Keep it coming~

[Jstar300]

Chiba has always been cool. He's just secretly awesome.
Shinagawa cracked me up with his sell option and it looks like Chiba has tapped into the power of his alternate ego . . . L >_>

[Azamiko]

XD Chiba was SMIRKING! He NEVER smirks! He's the nervous, unsure character! That was awesome! Hahaha!

You know, the more I read the more I realize...Rinka doesn't talk much.

[Noc and NC]

You know, the more I read the more I realize...Rinka doesn't talk much.

Yet another clue pointing towards her secret 'perfect Japanese wife' character lol.

[Teffik]

Well I feel like I could talk for a while about this, but it's late so i'll keep it short. I Love this arc! loved the futility of eating fine foods in an online game haha! And Chiba was indeed cool here. At least he fought. Well in an online game but counts for something.

You may all laugh at the awesome skills of merchant Shinigawa... but he'll get the last laugh. Him and his great merchant skills. Speaking of which, Cheese Ninja, that's the exact same thing I thought, laaaame, this doesn't make any sense and so on... But then... heh. Are you sure you're reading it right? :D (Grin of all knowingness)

And you should def read it asap. The hilarity of this manga continues to sky rocket. It must be made into an anime. MUST.

[methaniel]

Oh yeah I completyl forgot to comment on this new chapter >.<
Well, from the moment the guy said he had a new girlfriend, it was obvious that it was the reason for not coming out...but I really didn't expected this gamer to be a girl.
Even towards the end, when it's said that she loved him...rather than thinking it was a girl, I thought first it was a gay...but no YKTMC is staying straight >.<
Nice twist anyway (I loved how Adachi didn't understood anything even in the end)

[spaz]

And that is the end of volume 5 and the shitty *** raws that came with it. Volume 6 will atleast have some better raws. But enjoy this chapter!

[methaniel]

Oh thanks for the link and the new chapter, I would have miss it if not >.>
Aha, it was as hilarious as always ^^
Well, a more serious chapter, and it was nice to see Chiba doing the same thing Shinigawa and Hana made for him before...
But those little things in the end were funny, like Adachi thinking of Shinigawa instead of Chiba or our yankee-kun's actual situation >.>

[Azamiko]

*blink* Hm...Will it be up on OM today?

[flapjackmaka]

All Hail Shinagawa - Sama, KING OF THE MERCHANTS! lol XD

[Noc and NC]

Oh SHINAGAWA. You really are one of the greatest protagonists to hit the pages of manga XD. Bananas...indeed, it's a thing to be proud of :P!

And Chiba was awesome once again. In RPG fighting he's totally #1, and his top intelligence was demonstrated in solving this arc's mystery faster then anyone else! You rock my socks off, Chiba!

So it's a new volume after this, huh! I'm super excited to see what happens next- like if there's any further development with this Makoto character. Thanks for all the hard work, scanlators!

[sukeban_hachi]

I CAN SELL BANANAS NOW! Almost as good as 'Don't get the wrong idea! If the Astronomy Club gets disbanded, I'm going to be pissed as ****! That's the only reason.'

That boy is so in love.

[Jstar300]

Shinagawa is the mother f**kin' man.

Chiba Got three chapters to demonstrate his awesom this time around so that was sweet. Is Makoto going to be a part of the gang now or what?

[Noc and NC]

Woohoo! Another chapter right after?! I guess I jumped the gun a little, hehe.

Chibaaaa. You just make me all gooey inside sometimes. Makoto came around, just like you knew she would :)!!! And lol at the student council advice fourm...Chiba answered it!! Ahaha, now everyone will know he likes dirty movies.

And Shinagawa truly is...Merchant-sama XD!

[Azamiko]

She'll probably show up from time to time even if she doesn't exactly join the group. Though, come to think of it, some side characters have disappeared...*shrug* Hey, she might become Chiba's girlfriend...

XD Ruling the game as a merchant, nice! Shinagawa is awesome!

[~Chi-u_Chi-u~]

nice chapters , good job Chiba , he win both of games world and in real world , and i never expect before that Makoto is a girl , so that maybe she might be Chiba's girlfriend in the future too or join the council , who knows , and merchant is still merchant

[bushwhacker2k]

Lol, he can sell bananas, what a beast.

Rofl at Shinagawa getting addicted :D I figured someone would.

I wonder if Chiba and that girl are going to get together? Probably not but it'd be cool.

Keep it coming.

[waterbride]

With every chapter, I just love this manga more and more!

I was touched by the momentarily serious scene where Chiba confesses that he wishes that the time he spends with the student council could be stopped. That feeling of "I've never been this happy before" is one I can understand...

Of course, there were also plenty of gut-busting moments in the last two chapters:
"Wanna join our gang?" (Lol, he's just sitting on the sidewalk minding his own business. >.>)
"Damn, this game is awesome!" (Who knew that the merchant role would turn out to have such benefits?)
"Where can I watch Big-Tittied Bounty Hunter Momoko?" (Lest we forget that Chiba is an otaku, he answers in such detail...)

Chiba and Shinagawa were definitely cool this time. I hope to see the other glasses guy and Adachi's follower get more development next... Right now I can't even remember their names. >.>

[Thunderdome]

Aw man that was the best possible ending ever! all hail Shinigawa the king of the merchants! XD

[Denis]

This manga keeps getting better and better :)

Action: sell bananas :lol:

Thunderdome your avatar is disturbing ;)

[sukeban_hachi]

'Would you join our gang?' Excellent. When I saw the title, I thought it referred to the main group. I was like, 'Hell YES I will join your gang!'

[Azamiko]

*grin* Well, if I ever play one of those games, I have an idea of what to be/do...

*cheers on Chiba*

[Noc and NC]

Whooo! New chapter!!

It's so great to see them working together as the student council. It was also great to see the students coming to see them for help. AdachixShinagawa was good fun as always, and it was cool seeing some new head shots for all the character bios.

By the way...did anyone read Rinka's new short bio? Owns a cat, she does. Loves housework, she does. Has many feminine qualities, she does. Perfect housewife, says I! Hahaha. I love it.

And the two new characters at the end seem interesting. What kind of people try to stop other schools from having school festivals O.o? Crazy ones, that's what.

[Azamiko]

XD What a great chapter! I love seeing them do their work; it's strangely satisfying and nostalgic for when I was school clubs.

I guess Rinka's parents provide money...?

Also, those new characters...They're not from Shinagawa's friend's school, are they?

[dcross]

Oookay. I dunno, but how come I get the feeling that this chapter hints an upcoming development with Adachi and Shinigawa's relationship?;)

Well whatever, decent chapter nonetheless. Seems like there will be an Interschool Festival Competition. :)

[methaniel]

Developments in Shinigawa and Adachi's relation?
There were hints for this since the beginning but with Adachi's mind...all these hints were useless >.>
And it's good to see the Student Council really doing a good job ^^
I wonder now who are those new characters in the end (at least, I don't remember them from before)

[~Chi-u_Chi-u~]

it look like to be poster pasteing chapter :D , and about the new character i think that they quite cool and maybe they will have a lot of roles in the future too and they will appear lot more for sure , and maybe they will go to do something like cancel the student council work , it look excite to watch that what will they do

[bushwhacker2k]

http://www.onemanga.com/Yankee-kun_to_Megane-chan/43/07/
:)

Lol, he gets angry easily. I wonder if Izumi was lying to get Shinagawa to do all the work?

http://www.onemanga.com/Yankee-kun_to_Megane-chan/43/24/
Hmm, who does we haves heeeeer?

Keep it coming!

[Azamiko]

I'm betting they're the student council from a rival school.

[Azamiko]

Probably get more done...

[Eveonder Maelstrom]

I'm betting the same thing, it's hilarious how all student council seem to be delinquents rofl

[dcross]

Hmmm.. This is getting interesting.. I hope we get to see some badass Shinigawa next chapter.

[Noc and NC]

Yay, new chapter! Akagi's back, so my happiness over the new release is doubled!!

Adachi was a good president this chapter, getting everyone to calm down. It was nice seeing Makoto again- cute that she's sitting beside Chiba <3. Shinagawa is as kickass as always, beating people up while the secret housewife (Himeji) fixes the posters...though I was kind of hoping I could get to see her fight too.

The thing in that guy's hand at the end, when he said he'd destroy Shinagawa...they looked sort of liked pictures, didn't they? Wonder what sort of blackmail that'll turn out to be.

[Azamiko]

Blackmail? Maybe...I'm getting the feeling that he has it in for the school itself, maybe because of the previous SC.

It's fun and interesting that they're gunning for Shinagawa now. Can't wait until they see who ELSE is on the SC. Mwahahaha!!

[Azamiko]

Sorry for the double post, but I have a completely new theory! The two in the uniforms are from a rival school and have hired scar-hood to put down the competition.

http://www.onemanga.com/Yankee-kun_to_Megane-chan/44/17/
^Sounds like uniform-boy is somewhat in charge of scar-hood, but the details/orders come from scar-hood.

[GKudo]

I'm just really happy Akagi-kun is back! I love the "lazy" eyed type...or would you say he's just laid back with extreme double lidded eyes? Either way I want a fan like his:)

[Cheese Ninja]

Having looked through the raws back when I frist posted in this thread, the answer is : yes

Chapter 45 is out now too.

[methaniel]

Indeed, it has been released already, and it was an okay chapter
Not a really funny one for once...It was pretty bad for Shinigawa after all.
And somehow I get the feeling that when they will resolve this problem, they will forget to say to the rest ofthe school and the teahers that Shinigawa was innocent, so everyone will still not like him or something like this >.>
And lol, I loved how Shinigawa was only against the 3 ugly guy who disguised in him though he didn't said a lot to the 2 others >.<

[Azamiko]

Heh, it wasn't the funniest chapter, but it really did say a lot about the group. I hope everything gets cleared up for at least their teacher...

[Hailgun]

I love that the action is focused on Shinigawa, I want him to be the center of attention :D

[~Chi-u_Chi-u~]

yeah! it doesnt funniest chapter but it quite good that when everyone trust about Daichi that he isnt the one that hitting someone else and going to catch the one that disguise as Daichi and going to hit somebody else

[Azamiko]

Next chapter's up. Izumi and Shinagawa were pretty cool. Poor Rinka; she follows orders too well. Oh, we got a hint of Izumi's background. Funny, I thought he was pretty straight-forward.

[Noc and NC]

I'm really liking this arc. Disguises, hints at Izumi's past, Rinka almost beating people up, Chiba and his sensible cowardice, more Makoto...

But pages 15-18 were by far my favorite part. A-KA-GIIII! He's so great. Shinagawa and him better wipe the floor with those guys...by the time Akagi's done, they might not even be able to get information out of them lol. I'm curious to see how he's gonna calm down without any girls around, though...will he stay in murder-mode until they come across one of the twins or some random female who decides to nail him between the legs, or will he calm down on his own once he's tired?

Ignoring my fangirling now, I am wondering why Izumi brushed aside that guy. He's probably a member of the biker gang Izumi used to be in. Maybe he left on bad terms, and this particular member doesn't know the whole story? You can never tell with this manga, though. That's why I can look forward to finding out the truth, though.

[Azamiko]

I really just thought that Izumi got bored of it; isn't that what he said way back when he was first introduced? Of course, I didn't feel like he'd be the type to be all big-brotherly towards his subordinates. It just doesn't seem to fit with him...It was kinda weird to see that guy puppy-dog him like that.

[Noc and NC]

It was weird, which makes me think there's more to it than what Izumi said about him being number one at fighting and wanting to be number one at academics. I don't think he would act brotherly towards his subordinates either, but he seems like a person that a newbie could look up to, which is what I think this guy might have done when Izumi was still in the gang.

[methaniel]

I really liked this hint about Izumi's past...I wonder too now why did he left his "gang" and why did he ignored his ancient friend like that...
And now, they are getting closer to the people acting doing all those deeds (though, they are not the real master-mind yet)

[Teffik]

New chapter up. So soon after the last one. My, what a great chapter it was. Akagi is a beast as we all probably guessed by now, and Shinagawa actually had a pretty even fight. Great nonetheless.

Also, how did the guy in black knew about Akagi's weak spot? well besides general knowledge? Akagi in turn seemed to recognize them too. Interesting.

[Azamiko]

I don't see what you mean. I reread the chapter, but I didn't see hoodie-guy saying anything about Akagi's weak spot or vice versa.

Edit: Never mind, you meant the guy in the black school uniform. ^^; Darn manga for being in black & white!

As for him knowing Akagi...Wasn't one theory about why the other school hated Mon Shiro another revenge thing like the group from the summer?

[Noc and NC]

An awesome manga chapter, like usual. It was hilarious how Akagi's fight was an automatic OWNED and then Shinagawa was struggling...but that only served to confirm Akagi's awesomeness and heighten Shinagawa's own awesomeness when he made his comeback. Shinagawa truly is the vice-president lol.

But oh no! They know Akagi's weakness! I won't be surprised if it ends up that the girl's sempai has encountered our favorite former stuco president in the past. I was impressed at how quickly Akagi recovered, though. You'd think most guys would still be whimpering on the ground, but he was back to his bland-faced self and identifying his attackers in seconds. I wonder if he has full knowledge of what he does in his berserk mode? Some people tend to blank out when they get like that, but he didn't seem overly confused here so I think he must recall what he does.

And just so all my fangirling doesn't go to Akagi this round, Shinagawa looked really badass with his hair all out of place and blood on his face XD. But that guy Shinagawa fought really seemed to know him...does Shinagawa know him too? I guess we'll find out later...

I'm in love with these quick releases, especially considering what an awesome arc this is turning out to be. Great work, Mahou-x team! You rock my socks off!

[Azamiko]

Noc, he was calmed down and passing out when he caught sight of them. But you're right, Shinagawa was uber-cool in this chapter. XD (Did anyone else think he looked a bit like Ichigo from Bleach in one panel?)

[beware_the_deathberry]

you know what I had the same thought lol but I figured I was too Ichigo obsessed and chalked it up to my partiality to Bleach but now that you've mentioned it I am relieved

[teii]

An awesome manga chapter, like usual. It was hilarious how Akagi's fight was an automatic OWNED and then Shinagawa was struggling...but that only served to confirm Akagi's awesomeness and heighten Shinagawa's own awesomeness when he made his comeback. Shinagawa truly is the vice-president lol.

I can think of two reasons right off the bat why Shinagawa had to struggle with his fight:

1. The chapter would be almost cut in half without all of Shinagawa's fight scenes. :P

2. Akagi was fighting the two lackeys, instead of the leader of the group, who I would think is probably be stronger than both of them.

actually 3. His turnaround doesn't come UNTIL the leader mentions his school and he's reminded of the student council. Most likely that's what set him off and helped him get back on his feet.

[Teffik]

No no no... I doubt that he recovered. At least in full. No one recovers that fast from a hit like that. It was more like as he was recover-ING he caught a quick glimpse of them. That or the man has iron balls

@teii: Yes, that seems about right. As he said, he would have lost the fight had it been the old him.

[methaniel]

So eve for the girly Akagi, he's still down in one-hit...though it's the one-hit bringing down any male opponent...poor him T.T
And lol, "there was a bumpkin following him...it has to be Shinigawa"...

And we still don't know more about who are these people since Akagi didn't had time to say which school they are from, but I guess it'll be revealed soon.
And I like how Shinigawa's victory wasn't that easy

[Noc and NC]

Alright everyone, you have to stop taking whatever I say so seriously... I just go off on meaningless, fangirlish rants sometimes. No need to take in every word and let me know how WRONG I am about it all...I know. I know. I just like exaggerating.

@Methaniel- It was great how Adachi knew the bumpkin was Shinagawa right away lol.

[teii]

@Noc and NC: I'm sorry. ^^;; I apologize if I sounded accusative, it honestly wasn't my intention to do so.

[Noc and NC]

@teii- Np, it's really my fault for having such a bad habit ^^. I just can't keep it in my head sometimes XD.

[Azamiko]

Btw, Noc, where is your icon from?

Akagi'll probably explain the situation when he wakes up in the next chapter.

[Noc and NC]

It's from the anime Eden of The East.

I'm hoping a new chapter will come out soon so we can find out more about things, but I have to try and not get my hopes up just because the team have been doing quick releases lately >.<.

[methaniel]

Yeah it's hard not to have high expectations for a quick release...I want at least to know the end of this arc (and there is still the school festival itself after that >.<)

And Azamiko, go watch Eden of the East, it's excellent (without a doubt the best anime of this season for me)

[Azamiko]

They're usually pretty good about finishing arcs. I generally figure that that's why there are long breaks in between updates; that they wait until the newest arc is over or close enough.

Plot? I just bought a manhua 'Dorothy of Oz' that I've been looking at for a while...Good action, fun, now I just need to catch up with the releases.

No.... It just comes out when it comes out.

[CrazyRay]

I'm glad shinigawa is a important assest to the student council, he does try to bring people together and help even for a past badass(or weakass in other cases).

Damn not the teddy bear! Poor stuff animal never stood a chance against her rage. :cry:

[ShiningFlash]

Why do I feel that Adachi and that girl know each other.

Heck their both strong, I don't expect them not to

[Azamiko]

It was obvious from the start what that girl is like...XD I'm always glad to see the protagonist acknowledged, especially when he's usually the brunt of the teasing...

[Noc and NC]

After the conclusion of this chapter, I have reason to believe that every student council president in the world of YtM, former or otherwise, has a dual personality. Or at least two different sides to themselves.

Second shot of calm Akagi with eyes open! And on that note, it really is great to see Shinagawa get the recognition he deserves! His choice to forgive the other school council's actions was wise of him, but he also let them know that further hostility wouldn't be tolerated, which was a good move as well. Adachi really knew what she was doing when she forced him to be the vice-president lol.

And aawww. Shinagawa/Adachi moment! Haw haw :P.

I really hope they show some school festival moments in upcoming chapters! There's still four chapters left of this volume, so I'm excited, excited!

[teii]

I think Shinagawa also empathized with Aosuji's VPs, when they mentioned that they were only trying to help their president out; probably why he let them off so easily. :P

[Azamiko]

Agreed. Shinagawa's a pretty sympathetic guy most of the time. He just doesn't feel bad for people who pity themselves...

[spaz]

It was obvious from the start what that girl is like...XD I'm always glad to see the protagonist acknowledged, especially when he's usually the brunt of the teasing...

No it wasn't...

[Azamiko]

...Considering the series, yes, it was. Seriously, look at how Hana-chan seems at first, and Akagi, too. You seriously saw a 'cute' StuCo prez and thought 'oh, I'm sure she's not a super-strong near-delinquent...?' In this series, every character who has a personality--none of the 'normal' people--is a schizo, with opposing pesonalities. (Or, more likely, a cover, or sides...You know what I mean.)

[dcross]

This was the moment I was waiting for - another step for ShinigawaxAdachi's relationship. :D But well, I'm glad the whole Shinigawa-scandal was resolved. And the next chapters are the festivals, wonder what's in store for us. But I'm pretty positive it'll be a bunch of hilarious festival-moments with the whole gang. And, maybe, just maybe, we get to see another development with Yankee-kun and Megane-chan's unrealized(?) affection for each other. XD Can't wait for the next chapter.

[Eveonder Maelstrom]

exactly... when I saw the girl I was like... holy crap this one's gonna be super strong evil cuz the more nice and meek they seem... the more evil they are D=

[methaniel]

So Shinigawa was innocented in the end? I thought they would forgot about him >.>
This new president girl seems interesting, I wonder what will she do in the future (though it seems over for the festival problem)
Oh well, for a moment I thought they would held a double-school-festival but no...

[Azamiko]

Is the festival next? I figured there'd be another couple of chapters about getting ready for it...

Anyway, I was rereading some of the chapters last night, and I noticed something...
http://www.onemanga.com/Yankee-kun_to_Megane-chan/10/17/
http://www.onemanga.com/Yankee-kun_to_Megane-chan/10/18/

They're not talking about Adachi but about Granny. So...Granny was just staying with Adachi for a couple of days while she was sick...? It looks like she might be rich or something, though...Does this mean that Adachi lives by herself most of the time?

[Azamiko]

New chapter. =D Shinagawa makes new friends! *snicker*

[Noc and NC]

I have to admit, those garbage cans were pretty awesome.

I liked the group picture at the end... so nice ^^

[Azamiko]

Yeah, I wonder where it's gonna go?

[flapjackmaka]

good chapter, nice trash cans

[Noc and NC]

Yeah, I wonder where it's gonna go?

Right on the stuco billboard!

[dcross]

Hilarious chapter! :D And those two gal guys were totally hilarious! And it's really good to see Shinigawa realizing that school is actually fun. I guess it's all thanks to Adachi. Also the picture in the end would really be a nice memory. Can't wait for the next chapter! :D

[methaniel]

Such a nice chapter!
Well, it wasn't specially funny, but the overall "nice" feeling in the end when they were working seriously on their garbage was excellent!
But well, Shinigawa showing off his t-shirt proudly in the end makes me smile ^^

[Noc and NC]

New chapter~

Garbage is still Serious Business for Shinagawa, and we get to see Nermia again... Shinagawa does know a few girls, but no. This isn't a harem manga Nermia lol. Their not your...type, anyways.

I wonder what Izumi is doing with that suspicious looking character. I bet it has something to do with that guy who started talking to him a few chapters back. You know the one. Grr. As cool as I find bike riding characters to be, Izumi, I don't advise you to get back into a gang! You have a new gang! It's called Student Council!

[Azamiko]

My bet is that he's one of Izumi's former subordinates. =D And now Shinagawa's going to be all nosy...

It was good to see Nerima again; I figured he'd show up. Though, his idea that Shinagawa is getting girls...*shakes head* And Adachi just throwing him out there. *snicker* It felt kind of like how he used to think she was flirting with him, but then she'd say something completely different. XD Even with how much this series has changed; it still has the same feeling from the beginning.

[Teffik]

Yo, a thing to note in this chapter, other than the beginning of Izumi's arc(which is awesome btw), and the school festival being over.

Bottom left page 11. I find what Nerima said very interesting and would keep it in mind for further reading... Specifically I'm talking about something along the lines of "You even came to this school for a girl". DOOM DOOM DOOM

If you want to dissect it more, let's put it like this, why would Shinagawa go to a different high school than his BFF Nerima and rival/friend/enemy Sagami or what's his name? There had to have been a reason, specifically since an all guy school would be a better environment for a guy like Shinagawa at first sight.

I kind of thought it was also a bit of a jab for him, because obviously he wants to do everything he can just to keep adachi happy.

[Azamiko]

Yeah, I did notice that line, but I kind of figured that Nerima was exaggerating, considering the rest of the chapter. It could mean that his mother went there, or his sister wanted him to go there for some reason...

Hmmmmmmmm, I wonder why...

^ has peeked at the raws :spin:

On a sidenote, I wanna thank the scanlators for this awesome manga. You guys rock.

[Azamiko]

Theory: Izumi has to help his old group in a turf war and doesn't want to get the StuCo in trouble.

[Noc and NC]

Great new chapter... the whole conversation between Izumi and Shinagawa was depressing for me T.T.

I...I'm not happy with this change in Akagi's name. Maybe that's how supposed to be read but now I've got it in my head he's Akagi, not Akita...Akagiiii! Akitaaaa! It doesn't have the same ring to it >.<...aawwwww, I won't be getting over this for a while DX...

I agree with Azamiko's theory about Izumi's reasons.

wow, you're right! though I wouldn't surprise me if adachi did live alone, she's the one that never actually complains or mentions any of her own troubles (though most of the characters don't in this story haha)- it might also explain why she pigs out on food b/c she doesn't always get a lot to eat ( i'm assuming thats the case as to why she lives in such a run down place).
but how can adachi afford to go to cram school? O.O- that doesn't make much sense.

Even with how much this series has changed; it still has the same feeling from the beginning.

ditto here, thats one of the reasons i love this manga, its never failed to be entertaing even with the changes in art and story line. if anything, it keeps getting better :)

i think your right now that you mention it, shinagawa's past is about as cloudy to us as adachi's ( when isn't it in a manga haha?), so there's probably some viable reason. What i always thought weird was that the whole school apparnetly considered shinagawa as the worst delinquint, and from all the chapters we've seen, he's seen more losses in fights then victories, why is the whole school freaked on a protagonist that seems to lose more often in fights then win? ( if shinagawa is considered 'strong', then the rest of the school are as tough as marshmallows -excluding student council of course-).

then again we can also ask why the heck a pervert like Nerima went to an all guys school?

Great new chapter... the whole conversation between Izumi and Shinagawa was depressing for me T.T.

I agree with Azamiko's theory about Izumi's reasons.

akagi will be akagi in my head too- there's no way i will be able to identify him now as akita- its too wierd- like saying a strangers name. one has to wonder what the hell he did while he was president though to bring such negative attentions to the school. what a sly guy.

[redchinese]

oh random thought came to me just now- do you guys think in the future ( perhaps in the story or after the series ends) izumi and rinka may get together? i know thats a bit random and if there's any hint of romance in the series its mainly shinagawa/adachi. but i've noticed those two actually do seem to interacting is a way which things could develope:

their conversation here and izumi's thoughts:
http://www.onemanga.com/Yankee-kun_to_Megane-chan/38/07/

izumi's thoughts again when he pulled the save the poor girl move:
http://www.onemanga.com/Yankee-kun_to_Megane-chan/46/09/
http://www.onemanga.com/Yankee-kun_to_Megane-chan/46/10/
( i'm glad the author didn't make that moment too tacky).


and there' s also the weird fact that both are like professional house cleaners:
http://www.onemanga.com/Yankee-kun_to_Megane-chan/51/04/

it reminds me of the similair kind of idiotic thought processes of both Shinagawa and adachi...


it probably won't happen in the manga, which is good. its just kinda cool to see the author provide possibilities for fans to speculate :)

[sukeban_hachi]

red: I've thought that before too! I'd rather that than her and shinagawa, since she seems to like him a little bit or something.

I love the way shinagawa expresses how much he likes adachi though, it's subtle but definitely there!

[Noc and NC]

I also see signs of a possible relationship between them. Rinka seems to have pretty much gotten over her odd crush on Shinagawa, and Izumi seems to show more loyalty towards Adachi than romantic feelings. They have things in common, but aren't so alike that they'll clash. So if it's Shinagawa/Adachi and Izumi/Rinka, then...Chiba/Makoto? Sounds good to me!

Anyhoo, new chapter! Awww, I love it when Shinagawa gets that shocked, tender schoolboy look on his face. Izumi shows us just what a great guy he really is by not only attempting to protect his friends, but also rushing to fight for his 'brothers'. Too bad the stuco. are all a bunch of deaf people who don't listen to what others say lol. Even Chiba- no, especially Chiba! I have no real reason to claim that, but we all know he wants to go help Izumi as much as the rest of them.

Miyazaki seems like an interesting character. I wonder what club he's in? And I also wonder what his hair color is. It's so hard to guess. It could be a medium brown or reddish or some wacky color that isn't natural...he seems cool, though. He must be strong if he's in league with Izumi- I hope to see more of him.

And yay! I love the cover special with everyone wearing a kimono.

[jverreuil]

Woo, new chapter, with Izumi's arc finally in motion! Those last two pages in particular were so kick ***, with Shinagawa rallying the StuCo to go back up Izumi, and Izumi giving his BADASS WAR CRY.

Can't wait for more.

[Azamiko]

Love the color page--great patterns and colors! But Izumi--on his lone cover page--looks kind of creepy smiling like that.

Isn't 'Akita' a type of dog...? *shrug*

Shinagawa IS strong. The times we've seen him lose, it's been unfair fights. He's been outnumbered, basically. Since he seems to get in close to fight, it's pretty hard to get away. Adachi's kicks work better against multiple foes. Izumi and Shinagawa are pretty evenly matched, and Izumi was the boss of his old neighborhood.

And yes, I'm also semi-rooting for Izumi/Rinka. As long as this series never becomes a romance, anyway. I like the way it's been handled so far.

[Garbax]

Wow, the color page with only Adachi-san made me realize that she really is quite beautiful, Shinagawa is very lucky ;)

It seems that the relationships will be as Noc and NC said, the clues for Izumi/Rinka are there, quite subtle, but there, which seems to be trend in this manga since Adachi/Shinagawa and Chiba/Makoto relationships are also handled this way, which is fine since because crazy antics are always better than drama.

Anyways, a lot of thanks to the scanlators, this is one of my favorites mangas already!

[Azamiko]

Yeah, I'm pretty sick of romance driving so many plots...I'd rather see loyal friendships!! Not that I don't want those couples to eventually BECOME couples. But I don't see why they'd have to go all mushy or anything stupid like that.

[bleachlover20053]

omg i would hate to see this turning into a serious romance manga, it just wont be as funny if Adachi and Shinagawa become couples

[sukeban_hachi]

I agree. I like the way it is handled now. In fact, I find it sweet that adachi seems totally clueless about romance. Not like typical manga heroines.

[Noc and NC]

Yeah, this manga just wouldn't feel right if the romance was serious. I like how the mangaka's been doing it so far.

[Azamiko]

Basically, we all wouldn't be reading this if we wanted romance. We'd be reading Ouran instead.

[Garbax]

Hehehe damn right, but you gotta admit that a chapter about Adachi and Shinagawa having a date would be some crazy fun, if only for Adachi eternal cluelessness about the topic, there are so MANY things bound to go wrong XD

[Teffik]

Oh man... Guys and girls, I hate to break it to you but... There have been hints, and as the manga will progress it will only become more prevalent that romance is a part of this manga. Quite a driving force actually, if I get things right.

*Hint/Teaser* Something to do with the chapter titles in this volume... and the color spreads...

Rinka... hmm I don't know about her. Does she know that there's a sort of connection between Adachi and Shinagawa? would she get in between them? Adachi used to be her boss in the past, so maybe out of respect. Anyway I don't see her losing her crush on Shinagawa anytime soon. And that's totally not a spoiler. Like totally...

[Noc and NC]

Well, so long as the author works it in the right way and doesn't turn the manga into a massive ball of drama and angst, I'm okay with romance...

I don't see Rinka as a threat for Sinagawa/Adachi. He's got zero feelings for her, so...yeah. :P. The most the girl could do is cause some misunderstandings, but Shinagawa is used to those by now.

[bbelt23]

I don't think we should be bogged down by labels like, romance, comedy, shounen etc. because there can't be a successful manga that focuses on one thing and does that exclusively. that would be too ocd. of course lines will blur. but what miki does well, is the fact that alot of those labels interact in a fun, enjoyable manga. before we know what has happened, it's already done.

In the meantime, I hope no one really thinks adachi is clueless.

[Noc and NC]

I don't think Adachi is clueless...while she may truly have trouble socializing normally and does poorly in school, I feel her behavior around Shinagawa and co. is just an act. We've seen her be serious before, such as when she helped Shinagawa and Nerima get out of trouble. Rinka probably sees this better then the rest of them, having known Adachi from the past, which is why she has such strong faith in her.

[Cheese Ninja]

I have now spoiled myself with the raws up to the end of volume 8.



Somehow Shinagawa fails to equate no glasses, no braids Adachi, with Adachi. It's bad enough in other stories, it's even worse in this one, since he's seen her glasses come off and her hair become undone like that so many times already.


Now that the scanlations have finally caught up to the end of vol.6, this complaint still stands. It looks like it becomes even more relevant in the 2nd half of volume 7. Regardless, it's a fun series.

[Azamiko]

Meh, I can forgive things like that in a series that's primarily a comedy. As long as he feels stupid when he does figure it out.

So...I'm catching some hints about coming chapters...Sounds fun. =D Like someone said, as long as it doesn't become a typical drama-emo-romance, it's all good.

[KLGChaos]

Now that the scanlations have finally caught up to the end of vol.6, this complaint still stands. It looks like it becomes even more relevant in the 2nd half of volume 7. Regardless, it's a fun series.

I've never been a fan of this type of thing either, where they seem to drag out something like this. It's so cliche and prevalent in so many mangas where for some reason, the characters are completely oblivious to the one character and their alter ego/other appearance (Nurarihyon No Mago, Detective Conan, etc.)

Even in comedy, there should be limits to how stupid the characters are. :P

[Noc and NC]

Chapter 53 is amazing XD!! Adachi just appearing out of nowhere, Izumi crying manly tears, and then Shinagawa's badass introduction just took the cake. "We're Mon Shiro high's student council!!"

So Miyazaki is on the basketball team. Now all I need to find out is his hair color and his first name and I'll know everything I wanted to lol.

Wait...where was Chiba? And Makoto?! I bet their waiting outside, developing their relationship :P.

[Azamiko]

Totally rockin'!! XD Izumi is tough, and the others just jump right in there all casual-like! Hahahah!! Man, these chapters just keep getting better! I bet Adachi starts setting off the fireworks!

Maybe they run slower...?

[Noc and NC]

Well, they are the only ones who aren't/weren't delinquents...I suppose they wouldn't have as much stamina lol.

For some reason, the biker gang outfits make me think of repairmen that have taken an interest in martial arts...and ouch! If Izumi had gotten hit by that four-end pipe, he might have had some circle-shaped holes in him! Makes me wonder how long Miyazaki's been in the hospital.

[spaz]

Chapter 53 is amazing XD!! Adachi just appearing out of nowhere, Izumi crying manly tears, and then Shinagawa's badass introduction just took the cake. "We're Mon Shiro high's student council!!"

Wait...where was Chiba? And Makoto?! I bet their waiting outside, developing their relationship :P.

Who said hes on the basketball team? It just looks like hes in the gyms storage room.

[Noc and NC]

Who said hes on the basketball team? It just looks like hes in the gyms storage room.

Wow, what's with people tonight? Seems like anyone and everyone is taking a hit at what I say... Miyazaki said he was chosen as captain, which means he must be in a sports club of some sort. Secondly, there were basketballs to be spotted, which I took as imagery. You know, images authors use as hints for the readers? So I'm merely assuming he's on the basketball team.

Now if you know what club he's in, then please, enlighten me.

[Jstar300]

The Bonus Chapter was lovely. I could totally picture Shinagawa making Bossun's(Sket Dance) silly face on page 19. It would have been perfect.

[Azamiko]

I agree with Noc, either it was supposed to be obvious, or the basketballs were there to trick us and he's really in the flower arrangement club. Xb

Bonus chapter...Wow...That's...Hahahah!! Great!! And since she barely looked at him, you can kind of understand why he didn't recognize her months later when he saw her with braids and glasses and all serious. I didn't have my glasses for my entrance exam, and I completely didn't recognize the girl who sat next to me when I saw her in school later, even though we talked.

[Eger-kun]

The last chapter was definitely awesome and I love that part where Kagawa is not really good at math . 10 people lolz !!!!!

[sukeban_hachi]

Hahaha, yeah, I loved that part too!

'How many people do you see?'
'Five?'
'I'm tutoring you in math!'

I thought the extra chapter was really cute, although I see why it would be annoying. I think adding a bit of romance would be fine, as long as it doesn't have a negative effect on the rest of the manga.

This really is my favorite manga ever, I think.

[Noc and NC]

Flower arrangement is Serious Business, Azamiko :P

Loved the bonus chapter- I don't think I'd recognize Adachi either. And now we know that Nerima's talk of Shinagawa going to Mon Shiro for a girl was entirely true XD.

[Garbax]

Did anyone found hilarious the cameos made by Chiba and Izumi in the bonus chapter? Both chapters were great! Thanks to the scanlators for the speedy release :thumbsup:

Izumi is a beast! I really hope someone that the gang leader says that Akagi/Akita is a girl, so that he will get a royal beating! And I would really like to see what Rinka can do, since she was always portrayed as the yankee girl but haven't got herself a notable fight yet.

Next chapter is going to be awesome.

[Noc and NC]

The cameos made by Izumi and Chiba were awesome...and if you look at the beginning of the bonus chapter when Shinagawa arrives at the high school, you can see Akagi and the twins, too.

I'd also like to see Rinka get in on the action, since we haven't been given anything to measure her strength so far. And of course, an Akagi rampage is always welcome too :D.

[Garbax]

I was just reading the chapter when Adachi kicked Izumi's bottom and it made me wonder, Shinagawa and Izumi, who is stronger? I believe Izumi is stronger than Shinagawa, but by a tiny margin, Izumi managed to block Adachi's killer kick after all.

[KLGChaos]

Yeah, Shinagawa tends to get his butt handed to him a lot for supposedly being such a strong fighter. And Adachi is just overpowered. :P

[Teffik]

Well now, things are moving along. Good good. The stage is now set, let the asskicking commence.

Also were those two guys with glasses the nerds we saw in the video game saga? or are they a year younger? No wait they are year 2, like the StuCo. Sweet 2 more cameos spotted.

Oh and... Told you so.

[Azamiko]

Cameos are always fun. ^^ Izumi really had a 'tough' hairstyle, heh. :b

Lookin' forward to the fight...

[Noc and NC]

Yaaaaay! Double chapter release!!

Now we know where Chiba and Makoto were =D!!

I'm very unhappy we didn't get to see Rinka do some more fighting...it was just the same 'iyaah, let go of me!' thing that was done last time...bleeh >.<...

My favorite part was when Kagawa suddenly gets dropped and he has that 'wtf?' expression on his face, and then Akagai's got his evil grin on lol. My second favorite part was the talk between Miyazaki and Izumi near the end of chapter 55...very touching, and also true. Izumi...book smarts mean nothing. You are an idiot.

[Azamiko]

Yepyep, very exciting! Shinagawa's about-face was pretty fun, too. Oh, and how they were all so nonchalant at the end, like nothing had happened.

Sadly, I think that IS Rinka fighting. We've never seen her do anything else...Maybe her job is to flail and distract enemies until someone else comes to take care of them.

Chiba and Makoto seem to be becoming a bit of a team...

Oh! Did you expect Adachi to lose her temper more? I rather did...

[Noc and NC]

Shinagawa's expressions are always fun lol.

That's probably how she's going to be in every fight...I mean, I noticed her housewife persona from the first panel we saw of her sweeping, but I'd been hoping it wouldn't effect her fighting abilities >.<.

I cheer for the Chiba-and-Makoto team!

I thought she would too... when the real fighting broke out, I was a bit surprised she only stood around.

[Azamiko]

Yeah, but at the same time, it definitely seemed like an Adachi thing to do. She had no real idea EVERYONE was fighting, and she just wanted it over with so they could play with their fireworks. Once she gets focused, ya know...Adachi is the poster-child for tunnel-vision.

By the way, I nominate this song for the unofficial fan-approved theme song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIEOZCcaXzE&feature=related

[Noc and NC]

That is very true.

The people in the video creep me out a little...but its a good song. A fun tune, and interesting lyrics.

[Azamiko]

So...Since we seem to be the only two here, does that mean you're not nominating a song? So you agree that that one somehow suits YktMc? :b

[lanevo]

did some of you read the RAWs ? i wanna know who's the girl that looks exactly like adachi
her twin maybe ?

[methaniel]

Yeah, 2 releases~

lol, poor ennemies, they have seen a dragon >.<
Anyway, that was a good conclusion...I'm a bit dispointed as well Rinka is useless when it comes to fight (at least, probably because she's a girl, she gets out unharmed...)
And you have Adachi doing nothing with her fireworks in the middle of it~

Oh and I so see that coming the "you're an idiot as well", but that was nice (it's strange to say this sentence is nice >.<)

[Noc and NC]

So...Since we seem to be the only two here, does that mean you're not nominating a song? So you agree that that one somehow suits YktMc? :b

Aaaww, went to bed before reading this >.<. I hadn't really thought of a song to nominate, so I guess I'll go with that one unless someone nominates something better later on?

Whatever we choose, if this gets made into an anime I can only hope it doesn't have everyone dancing or singing in it...anime producers and the like have been relying on that far too much these days...

did some of you read the RAWs ? i wanna know who's the girl that looks exactly like adachi
her twin maybe ?

You should use spoiler tags when talking about spoilers...

[lanevo]

whats the matter ? ppl who want to know will know ppl who dsnt want to just have to forget this post.
so someone knows who she is ?

[Noc and NC]

whats the matter ? ppl who want to know will know ppl who dsnt want to just have to forget this post.
so someone knows who she is ?

The matter is that your posting spoilers...and not using spoiler tags. People can't just forget things they don't want to know about, especially not spoilers for a manga. But you know what would keep people who don't want to know from knowing? Spoiler tags. And people who do want to know, will look inside them. It's not that hard to figure out.

I'm just lucky I already knew about that girl who looks like Adachi, so I'm not angry at you for spoiling me, since you didn't. However, I'm sure there are people out there who have been spoiled and don't appreciate it. At any rate, I don't know who she really is either.

[Teffik]

Congratulations people!

Between the kid who can't understand the concept of spoiler tags, spoiling and spoilers, and you Noc, who by repeatedly pointing out he should have used spoiler tags on what otherwise might have been considered random noobishness and quickly forgotten... well you guys pretty much managed to spoil the biggest plot twist in this manga.

Yet again Gratz!

[Noc and NC]

Well this might all just be a matter of opinion, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have considered their comment random. Noobish, but not random.

But now I have been spoiled by you, Teffik, since before this I had no idea it was a big plot twist. It could have been a dream Shinagawa was having, for all I knew. I was still totally waiting for the explanation to come with the chapters, but now all hope is lost. CONGRATULATIONS.

[Teffik]

wasn't it obvious it was a plot twist? With the color page and all?

EDIT: You did say yourself you knew about that thing... You did see the raw in question no? Aside from that tho, I don't know more than that myself, but my money is on plot twist.

[Azamiko]

Um, I don't see how Noc did anything wrong...He didn't give anything away, he just said to put it in spoiler tags...*shrug* I like spoilers anyway, so I'm interested...

lanevo, if it wasn't clear: Noc isn't stating a preference, he's telling you a rule so you don't get in trouble if you do it 'in front of' someone who gets upset.

[Zen72]

Well honestly if someone states a seemingly random comment about a series, the someone else tells them to put said comment in spoiler tags, only a complete moron wouldn't put two and two together about the matter.

So yes, pointing out that what was said was spoilers was the wrong thing to do. Better to simply click the "report" button in the bottom left hand side of the post.

I've seen a chunk of a chapter, but I can't read Japanese and I didn't look for long.

Thanks, Azamiko.

Indeed. I take peeks at raws now and again, but lots of people hate being spoiled. I know I'm not a mod, but I'd only been trying to help...

I guess I'm a fair bit smarter then a moron, then, since if someone makes a comment asking about the raws of a particular manga and they're mentioning something that hasn't come up in the translated manga chapter yet, I can recognize it as a spoiler without having someone else point it out. But hey, that's just me.

I didn't want to be the bad guy and report them. I'd much rather try and explain to them the rules and get a bunch of people angry at me for it.

[Teffik]

but by doing it you drew attention to it, and made other ppl put 2 and 2 together like zen said.

This is all pointless talk now anyway so what happened happened.

So, how about those freakin eye lasers coming from the gang leader? That cracked me up so bad.

And as I had said to Zen, some people (like myself) don't need two things to put together to see a spoiler- just the spoiler itself. So your reasoning seems faulty, imo.

It's not pointless to me, since I feel I'm being wrongly accused here, but I'll attempt to carry on.

The gang leader is clearly superhuman lol.

[Tensa Zangetsu]

Huh....In chapter 54 Izumi reminded me of Hibari on the last page. Badass student council rep!

[Harukii]

im only on chapter 48 and because of this i will make sure to always be careful of the student council

lol notice something?

in the middle on the right and left :D

[Azamiko]

Oh yeah, someone pointed that out. XD I love the flashbacks; we get to see everyone!

Nyeh~! I'm worried about Himeji; Shinagawa doesn't like her like that! But she'll be fine, I think. Anyone else notice that Izumi is looking at Himeji's rear on the title page of 56? Hahah!

[Truth101]

New chapters are out...

I couldn't stop laughing at the Computer club's transformation it was just to funny...

I never knew Renka liked Shinagawa this is news to me, or maybe not it's been awhile since I read through the series.

Anyways good chapters =)

[Azamiko]

Well, it's not like it was ever said before, only hints...I was hoping she was over it, actually.

[SKBP]

Such cute chapters.....Shinigawa is becoming popular ( first the trach people now the computer club ). I like how this is going.

[Azamiko]

Yeah, when you look back at early chapters, how people react to Shinagawa is really different!

*pokes* Go read Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu. If you like Yankee-kun, then you'll like that, I think. Plus, it's great and I don't have anyone to discuss it with yet. *pouts*

[Noc and NC]

Siiigh...and here I was, all fired up to support the Rinka/Izumi pairing...but I feel there is still hope! Izumi likes her rear, at the very least ;).

The chapters involving the computer club were funny. Shinagawa is becoming such a great guy in the eyes of the student body XD.

I just read Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu It was quite enjoyable and the little summons are cute..

Oh and I was also hoping for a IzumixRenka pairing. In the cover page of chapter 56 he was looking up her skirt :P

Oh, that is EXACTLY what he is doing.

And I definitely can see that happening, and kind of want it as well. I can't imagine that she's gonna get anywhere with Shinigawa, we all know who his heart belongs to ;)

[Azamiko]

Yeah, but I wonder if Rinka has noticed? She's obviously noticed that he hasn't noticed her crush...

I'd like to see the reactions of the group if, say, that girl from Christmas came up to Shinagawa and Adachi and apologized for ruining their date, or something like that.

[Noc and NC]

I've been wondering if the girl from Christmas was going to reappear. She's the only acquaintance of the main cast that hasn't so far.

[Azamiko]

I fully expect what I said right there to be her re-introduction. :b I don't think the mangaka has forgotten about her; no one else seems to have been forgotten...

[KLGChaos]

So we finally get a confirmation that Rinka likes Shinagawa. Feel bad for her because you know it won't go anywhere.

As for Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu, I'm kind of on the fence with this. I find it funny and it's definitely interesting, but certain aspects of the main character rub me the wrong way. He's fine sometimes, but I can't stand people who willingly abandon their friends to save their own skin.

[Teffik]

Pretty nice. Rinka has a crush on Shinagawa. The computer club guys were pretty good up until that point. And Shinagawa has made new friends. Nice character progress.

Also what's this I hear about a school trip? hihihi...

[Azamiko]

I agree with you on that, KGL, about people who abandon their friends. However, this is in no way 'life-or-death,' and, in fact, he's the only person who can feel physical pain because of these fights. So, to me, it's reasonable that he's such a coward. I like the way he gets out of things. And, honestly, I'm looking forward to seeing his progression.

Shinagawa has made a LOT of new friends thanks to Adachi. It seems like he only had the one before meeting her...

School trip...? I don't remember that...

[Teffik]

read the last 2 chapters again. There's like 2 or three mentions of it, one even on the last pages of the computer club arc. About how they got him a psp to play 3 way games on the trip.

[Noc and NC]

Hmm...I wonder if we're ever going to see any more of the main cast's family? The only people we've met is Shinagawa's sister and Chiba's mom. It'd be nice to see Shinagawa's parents or someone from Izumi's family. I think it'd be interesting to see how their parents deal with having delinquent children. Er, former delinquent children lol.

Adachi's parent's will be saved for some grand finale, I reckon, since it's a popular assumption that their involved with the yakuza- which is a little much for the gang to handle at the moment.

[CaptFamous]

Well, we did meet Adachi's grandmother. She was pretty great.

As inevitable as the Yakuza angle is, it's a little disappointing, because it would make her way too much of a Yankumi-clone (from Gokusen) for me.

Also, I recently noticed that the online-viewing copies of YK2MC have been removed from Mangahelpers. Is the American publisher cracking down?

[Azamiko]

Oh, I thought you meant one that's already passed.

What American publisher? No one mentioned YktMc being bought...

Also, I think it's actually her grandmother involved in the Yakuza...Or is super-rich or something like that. Well, we're already pretty sure she's rich...

[CaptFamous]

Yeah, YK2MC is being translated officially under the name Flunk Punk Rumble. Not sure how far they are/if they've even released yet.

[Kirjava]

Also, I recently noticed that the online-viewing copies of YK2MC have been removed from Mangahelpers. Is the American publisher cracking down?

MH is having licensing issues with Kodansha (the Japanese publisher), which is why a lot of raws/scans, including YK2MC, have been removed from the site.

Why I love Adachi.
http://www.onemanga.com/Yankee-kun_to_Megane-chan/59/10/
Best Izumi scene. XD He's just as weird as the rest of them!

Did ya'll notice that Chiba's 'friend' went with them to wake Shinagawa in the beginning?! Oh, and I want that deer pull-doll...Such a cool souveneer. (Geh, I can't spell that word.)

[Yuki N ...]

At last, it's touching on the romance between Adachi and Daichi. LOL

[Azamiko]

*blink* They've had plenty of romantic scenes. Just not over-dramatized girly ones. Which is what I like about this series. Well, one of the things.

Geh, I just looked again, and it's not Chiba's friend who's with them to wake Shinagawa. It's his sister. ^^; Oops.

[Teffik]

More importantly, does Adachi remember shinagawa? He hasn't made the connection yet, but did she? the way she asked why, after he refused to answer... hmm.

Now let's see when next chap arrives. Should be good.

[Yuki N ...]

She obviously did. Why else would be so attached to Shinagawa?

[Teffik]

Yeah I kinda think so too. I mean he didn't change his appearance over the summer. And I don't see her as the aggressive type so she just held it for herself. But now, now that Shinagawa was specifically asked why he came to the school, and gave that reaction, I can see her getting her interest up.

Suppose we'll see things more clearly next chapter. The dreaded/awesome next chapter.

[Azamiko]

I dunno...She's more than a little ditzy. ("Wow, there are a lot of horses here!") Even if she does recognize him, why would she think she had anything to do with his decision? I think it's more likely that Shinagawa will mention the girl who sat in front of him and Chiba or Izumi will tell them that it was Adachi in front of Shinagawa during the test.

[Teffik]

Hmm true, I didn't think of those two guys, they were there. Yet they don't seem to have anything to say on the matter (pending translations). Maybe the author slipped a bit in this regard?

[Azamiko]

Nah, they all just assume that he was at the test because he wanted to go there. So, they have no reason to think that something outside affected his choice.

[Teffik]

We'll see. Next few chapters need to be scanlated to make a better opinion of this.

[Zen72]

Having seen the raws of the next few chapters I can promise you all that it gets a lot more interesting. He gets the surprise of his life, and she acts pretty much as normal. Poor bastard. XD

[Azamiko]

Ooh, nice...I love it when Shinagawa is flustered. He's really the heart of the group, even though Adachi is the one who drew them together, he's the one who takes care of everyone and everything...
