July 15, Friday
Niizuma,
新妻君
if you get first place for three more weeks, you'll be able to end CROW.
あと3週1位を取れば「CROW」を終わらせていい事になる
Yuujirou.
雄二郎さん
I'm sorry to say this, but you cannot change the fact that CROW will end.
悪いですけど 終わりは動きません
This is the first time I've ever seen Niizuma this desperate and scary-looking.
こんな必死で鬼気迫る新妻君は初めてだ
It's not that he doesn't want to draw anymore, or that he's become tired of it.
もう描くのが嫌になったとか 疲れて終わらせようとしてるんじゃない
He's trying his best to give his manga and its readers the perfect ending.
全力で作品に 読者に最高のラストを見せようと
Niizuma.
新妻君
Yes?
はい
Let's end CROW in four weeks!
あと4週 そこで「CROW」を終わらせよう
Huh? Weren't you trying to prevent it from ending?
あれ 雄二郎さん終わらせるの阻止したかったんじゃないんですか
Honestly, I don't think GIRI, which is now in second place, can ever catch up to you.
正直に言うと 今2位の「GIRI」は「CROW」に届く事はないと思う
I won't let anyone surpass me.
抜かせません
If anything could do that, it'd be PCP, with its upcoming center color spread in Issue 34.
抜く可能性があるとしたら
34号の「PCP」 センターカラー
This chapter I'm drawing now happens to be the one that'll go up against them in that issue.
ちょうど 今描いてるこの回とぶつかるやつですね
Right.
そうだ
Hattori said they pulled off something spectacular.
服部もすごいのが出来ると言っていた
But keep working hard and stay in first place!
でも 頑張って1位を取り続けてくれ
My opponents are worthy ones.
相手にとって不足なしです
I definitely won't lose to them!
負けません 絶対に

All right!
しゃあ 出来た
It's done!
Good work.
お疲れさまです
Leave the rest to us.
あとは 僕たちに任せて下さい
But really, this week's manuscript is awesome!
それにしても 今回の原稿すごいですね
Both the art and the content are really solid.
絵も内容も凝ってますよね
Using the title color page to set up a scheme...
カラーの扉絵を使ったトリックなんて
I immediately thought, "That's Takagi for you!"
さすが高木さんだと思いました
Thanks.
ありがとうございます
It's without a doubt your best manuscript to date!
間違いなく 今までで最高の出来だと思います
Right!
はい これで必ず1位を取ります
This will definitely take first place!
Can I call Hattori and tell him that the manuscript will be ready by 9?
原稿9時には上がるって 服部さんに連絡入れていいですか
We'll get it done!
任せておいて下さい
I understood the content when I read it as a storyboard,
内容はネームの段階で把握していたが
but it's even better when I read it like this!
こうして読み返すと更にいい
The art really makes the story come alive. It's a superb manuscript!
ペンの走りが伝わってくる すばらしい原稿だ
Thank you!
ありがとうございます
We'll challenge CROW with this!
これで「CROW」と勝負だ
Right!

Identification letter
An "Identification letter" from Sigma?
「Σから正体状」
He's probably making a wordplay on "invitation" and "identification" with this letter.
「招待と正体をかけてるんだろうな」
That's dumb. Just open it.
「くだらね 早く中を」

It's a picture of you in your room, Makoto.
How did Sigma get this picture?
Did he sneak into your room?
Hold on. From the looks of it, you would've realized this picture of you was being taken.
「っていうか この感じだと写真撮られたマコトも気付くはず」
No...
This is a picture I took in Makoto's room.
That's right, you lost your camera.
Sorry.
Sigma probably...
What, are you saying Sigma is a thief, too?
No, I'm just saying that I dropped it and Sigma probably picked it up.
Because it was inside my desk in the classroom later on.
What is it, Makoto?

"I'm waiting"?
It's an invitation letter, after all.
「招待状だからな」
He's saying that he'll reveal his identity if we come at the date and time shown here.
「示された日時に来れば正体を見せるって意味に取れる」
How will we get both of those from this picture, though?
Hattori, PCP is great!
服部先輩
「PCP」すごいですね カラー扉をこんな使い方するとは
Who'd have thought to use the color page like this?
I'll say.
だよな これなら「CROW」抜けるんじゃ
It can surpass CROW with this!
No, CROW is far more intense.
いや 「CROW」の方が圧倒的に迫力がある
Something of this level won't overtake it.
この程度じゃ抜けないだろ
You're right.
そうですね 今回の「CROW」
I feel like this week's CROW has an especially powerful battle scene.
戦闘シーンに特に力が入ってる気がします
It all comes down to the intense battle manga, CROW, versus the idea manga, PCP.
バトルマンガで迫力の「CROW」か
アイデアの「PCP」かってとこだな
Niizuma Eiji won't lose.
新妻エイジは負けませんよ
Or rather, I don't want him to lose.
いや 負けてほしくない
I've decided to support Niizuma.
俺はもう新妻君を応援する事にした
You're okay with CROW ending?
「CROW」終わっちゃっていいんですか
Niizuma Eiji, winning first place by a wide margin,
終わりたいように終わらせる
for a whole 16 weeks—no, it'll be 20 by the end...
そのために16週 いや 最後まで20週
All so he could end his manga the way he wanted to.
ぶっちぎりの1位を取る新妻エイジ
You could say that I just want to see that historic moment.
その歴史的瞬間を見届けたいとでも言うのかな
I suppose...
確かに
Yeah, I guess that's not something we'd ever get to see, normally.
こんなシーンめったに立ち会えないもんな
9th... 00 minutes?
Does that "9th" mean the upcoming 9th of this month?
Yeah...
「そうね これじゃ今月なのか来月なのかもわからない」
This doesn't really make it clear if it's this month's or the next.
The same goes for the time.
「それに時間も」
If you look closely at the picture here,
you can see the clock is pointing to 10 o'clock,
so maybe it's on the 9th at 10:00.
Sigma said that we'd know the date and time from this picture,
「Σはこの写真から分かる日時って書いてるんだから」
but that'd be too easy.
「それじゃ簡単すぎるだろ」
Besides, we don't even know the place we're supposed to meet. Where is it?
Also, something about this picture is off.
"Off"?
I'm pretty sure I took this picture in the morning.
「俺がこれを撮ったのは確か朝だったはず」
Lemme see.
The whole picture is sepia-colored, but it's pitch black outside the window!
Unnaturally so!
「いや 不自然に真っ黒だ」
Magnifying Strap!
I knew it!
「やっぱり 影の方向が おかしい」
The direction of the shadows is strange!
What?
It is morning!
These are shadows created by morning sunlight shining through the window!
The real sky is bright!
Sigma colored the sky black!
And check out the clock's hands!
Its hands?
This clock doesn't actually have a second-hand.
「この目覚まし時計 実際は秒針なんかないし」
Its hands are also supposed to be silver.
「針の色も銀色のはず」
From this picture, it looks like it's exactly 10 o'clock and the alarm has been set for 9 o'clock,
「こう見ると10時ちょうどで 目覚ましが9時にセットされてるように見えるけど」
but, like the sky, the black clock hands are something that Sigma colored in.
「空と同じように黒い針はΣが後から足したもの」
The real clock hand that sets the alarm is underneath the one he added in.
「本当の目覚ましセット用の針は付け足した黒い針の下」
Which means...
...the real time is...
If you remove the black hands...
It's 9 o'clock!
That's right!
I took this at about 9 in the morning!
The real time we can get from this picture is 9 AM!
Yes, the shadows prove it.
But we're in school at that time.
We'll have the day off on the next 9th! It's the anniversary of our school's foundation!
So, exactly 9 AM on July 9th...
All that's left is the place!
Yeah. We don't know where he'll be waiting.
There has to be a hint in this picture, right?
The place, the place...
Ah!
It went from 10 o'clock to 9 o'clock, right?
"10 o'clock" sounds like "cross"...
And there's a book titled The Curse of the Cross on the desk...

Ashirogi nailed this one.
やってくれたな 亜城木君
It's really solid.
凝ってますねえ
It's hard to admit it, but I want this to surpass CROW now.
悔しいが これで「CROW」を抜いてほしくなってきたぜ
Yeah.
そうっすね
And after that, we can overtake him with GIRI!
そのあと また「GIRI」が抜き返せばいいんだからな
Yeah!
Ashirogi strikes again.
The Complete Book of the Six Codes
さすがだな
They're still better than me.
やっぱり亜城木夢叶は まだ僕より上だ
In both their story and art.

Maybe PCP will take first place.
もしかしたら「PCP」が1位取るかもしれない
Frankly, it doesn't matter to me which manga will end.
正直 どのマンガが終わろうと そんなの関係ありません
I'll keep trying hard so she'll call me Kazu.
僕は「カズタン」と呼ばれるために頑張り続けます
Idiot.
バカだなぁ「僕通」が「CROW」を抜けるわけないだろ
There's no way Never Reaching You will overtake CROW.
It's enough that you worked hard for 10 weeks for that bait I dangled in front of you.
「カズタン」をエサに10週近く頑張れただけで十分だ
Mr. Yoshida!

If you wrote like this and got first place, Yuri would be all over you.

Like how?
Integrating a trick into their color page like this... Ashirogi is just amazing.
カラー扉にトリックを入れてくるとは
すごいよ 亜城木君も
What a great showdown!
すごい対決だ またグッと来ちゃったよ
I'm tearing up again!
Yes, just as I'd expect of them.
はい さすが亜城木先生
I'm even happier now that I'll be able to end CROW by defeating that chapter of theirs.
それを抑えて終われるのがよりうれしいです
I've been wondering about this for a while, but why are you so fixated on Ashirogi?
前から思ってたんだけど
何で亜城木君にそれほどこだわるんだ
When I first met Ashirogi at the editing department, it was like an electric shock.
編集部で亜城木先生に初めて会った時 ビビッと来ました
Mashiro especially gave me a fierce challenging glare.
特に真城先生は闘志むき出しで僕をにらんできました
At that time, we both suddenly decided: "I won't lose to you."
あの時 互いに決定的に思ったです
「こいつには負けられない」
"You'll be my greatest rival."
「こいつが一番のライバルになる」と
July 9th, from 10 o'clock to 9 o'clock.
I get it.
Minoru! Mai!
I got it! The date, time and place that Sigma is showing us!
00 mins
9th
The "From 10 o'clock to 9 o'clock" we got from "this picture that shows you what you need to know."
That much we got right.
Coming up with "church" and "cross" was pretty close.
However, the place isn't Western, it's traditional Japanese.
Japanese?
"From 10 o'clock to 9 o'clock..."
Look closely at the book on the desk.

Now, it's confirmed that the day is on July 9th, Thursday!
Oh, that's Makoto for you! We have the date now!
What about the place?
"July 9th, Thursday"...
「『7月9日木曜』」
We got that from a missing kanji radical, so we can deduce the place using the same method.
「それが落字から分かった事から 場所も導き出される」
00 Mins
9th
When I initially saw this picture, what struck me as strange
was the "9th" and "00 mins" at the bottom.
Normally it'd be "9:00," right?
If you look closely, you'll see that the character for "day" in "9th" (9日) is narrower than the one for "minute" in "00 mins."
In other words, "9th"(9日) is also missing a radical.
It's not the character for day (日), it's supposed to be the character for hour (時)! The missing radical is "temple"(寺)!
We're going to meet at a temple!
The most famous temple around here is the Tanuki Temple!
So it's 9:00 on July 9th at the Tanuki Temple, right?
Yeah!
Actually, I've read this chapter many times already, and it's still good.
本当に 今回の話は何度読み返しても面白い
Oh, please, Hattori.
やめて下さいよ 服部さん
Welcome, PCP!
The plug of "The face-to-face showdown with Sigma" is good too.
「いよいよΣとの直接対決か」っていうこのヒキもいい
Oh, that was Mashiro's idea.
あ それは真城のアイデアです
CROW was first in Issue 33, too.

This Issue 34 is the final challenge against him.
この34号が最後の勝負だな
July 26, Tuesday
Hattori, here are the initial results.
服部 速報の結果だ
Uh, thanks!
あっ はい
Calm down.
落ち着け まだ速報だ
Those are just the early results.
は はい
Yes.
Hey, have you seen the early results?
おい 速報見たか
Yes. This might turn into a big deal...
はい
なんかすごい事になってて
Is this really how it's going to end?
本当にこれ 決着つくんでしょうか
July 29, Friday
So, you really haven't asked what the early results were?
やっぱり 今回も速報は聞いてないのよね
No. All that matters is today's final results.
もちろん 今日の本ちゃんが全て
Stare~
じ～っ
Staring at the phone won't make the results come any faster.
そうやって見つめてても 結果が早く来るわけじゃないだろ
Hattori Akira
Looks like you're wrong!
そうでもないみたいじゃん
Hi, this is Takagi.
はい 高木です
Yes, we're good.
はい 大丈夫です
PCP...
「PCP」同率2位だ
is tied for second place.
T-Tied for second place?
同率2位
What about CROW?!
「CROW」は
Hattori, what about CROW?
服部さん 「CROW」は

PCP and GIRI are both in second place with 403 votes.
「PCP」と「GIRI」が403票で2位
CROW led by 17 votes?
「CROW」と17票差ですか
And by 2 votes in the early results?
速報では2票差
Yeah. That's why I wondered if we might...
だから もしやと思ったが
You tried hard, though.
でも頑張ったな
Other than your first chapter, this is the best ranking you've ever gotten.
連載1話目を除けば 今までで一番いい順位だ
Yes.
はい でも これで「CROW」は
But now, CROW will...
Yes.
It'll end with a front cover color spread in three weeks.
3週後の巻頭カラーで終わる
We've been instructed to add the words "Final Chapter" to the cover and front pages.
止めてあった表紙と扉絵に 「最終回」の文字を入れる指示が出たところだ
Our summer is over.
俺たちの夏は終わった
So it seems.
そんな感じだな
It's not over! It just barely started!
終わってないから むしろ始まったばっかりだから
Eiji really is something.
やっぱすげーな エイジ
He's so cool.
かっこいいよな
Yeah, he is.
うん かっこいい
That makes me even more frustrated.
それだけに より悔しい
I know you're frustrated, but it was only a 17 vote gap!
悔しいのは分かるけど 17票差でしょ
Just a while ago, it was over 100. Isn't that amazing?
ちょっと前までは100票以上差があったのに すごくない
In second place with a 17 vote gap...
17票差の2位か
Second place in Jack.
「ジャック」での2位
We've only been able to make it this far because of Eiji, though.
きっとエイジがいたから ここまでできたんだけどな
Yeah.
The Runner-up
Prize
1 million yen
Niizuma Eiji (15) Aomori
When we picked up Jack in a convenience store during our third year of middle school,
中3の時 コンビニで手に取った「ジャック」で手塚賞準入選
we saw the runner-up for the Tezuka Prize, a 15-year-old named Niizuma Eiji.
新妻エイジ 15歳
When I saw that, I knew there was an amazing guy in my generation.
あれを見た時 同世代ですごいやつがいる
( )
Niizuma Eiji 15 Aomori
If I was going to aim for the top in Jack, this guy would be my rival.
「ジャック」でトップ目指すにはこいつが俺のライバルになる
( )
Niizuma Eiji 15 Aomori
I arbitrarily decided I had to beat him.
こいつに勝たなきゃ駄目なんだって 勝手に決めつけてたけど
And ever since then, we've been chasing Eiji.
あれからずっと エイジ追いかけてきたのになあ
It's not like Niizuma is quitting manga, you know.
別に 新妻さんマンガ家やめるわけじゃないじゃん
I know, but...
そうだけど
It feels like a total loss.
完全なる1敗って感じ
"Continue with your series and wait for us. We'll catch up to you."
「連載続けて待っていてくれ 追いついてみせる」
I said that to him the day we met.
初めて会った日 そう言って
And he did continue and waited for us.
エイジは連載を続け 待ってた
Even though we have a series of our own now, we still couldn't catch up to him.
俺たちは連載はしたけど 追いつけなかった
CROW will end without us ever catching up to him.
追いつけないまま「CROW」は終わる
Not an ending by cancellation—a perfect ending.
打ち切りなんかじゃなく 文句なしの終わり方で
I think you at least got to the point where you could say "We caught up to him."
あたしは「追いついた」 って言っていいとこまで来たと思うけどなあ
No.
いや 「NATURAL」はともかく「CROW」には追いついてないよ
Setting NATURAL aside, we never caught up to CROW.
We only passed it on our first chapter.
抜いたのは1回目だけ
In the end, Eiji is best when he works alone.
結局エイジって 1人で描いた方が面白いんだよな
Against that single person, even two people combined couldn't measure up.
その1人に2人がかりでかなわなかった
Forget about "not measuring up."
かなわなかったどころか
If it wasn't for Eiji, we wouldn't have come this far as manga authors.
エイジがいなかったら 俺たちはマンガ家としてここまで来れてなかった
It's not just Eiji.
エイジだけじゃない
Because we competed with Fukuda, Takahama and others from our generation,
福田さんや高浜さんたち同世代のやつが競ってきたから 頑張ってこれたんだ
we were able to get to this point.
Niizuma's still only 23.
新妻さんって まだ23よね
If you think about that, it's really amazing.
そう考えるとものすごい事よね
To have a series run for seven years, and have it end as no. 1.
7年連載して1位で終わるなんて
I'd like to try ending a series like that.
こんな終わり方してみたい 憧れる
It's admirable.
For sure.
確かに 1位取り続けて巻頭カラーで終わりなんて やってみてーよな
To keep up a streak of first place rankings, then end it with a front cover color spread.
I wanna try that.
「おめでとう」って言いたくなる
It makes me want to congratulate him.
As a manga author.
マンガ家として
As a rival.
ライバルとして
As a friend.
仲間として
Yeah.
だな
August 19, Friday
That was the best ending ever!
最高の終わり方だ
Thanks.
どうも
Though my feelings are probably beside the point, now that you've finally been able to end it.
こんな終わり方ができたから 余計思うのかもしれないけど
Niizuma-sensei...
新妻先生
Huh? "Sensei"?
先生
I am proud to have edited CROW all the way until the end.

I see.
そうですか
And also...
そして お疲れさまでした
Thank you for all your hard work!
You too.
お疲れさまでした
It feels like you have no interest in a manga that's ended.
終わったマンガにはもう興味なしって感じだな
Since you still have NATURAL, I can't tell you to relax and take a break,
「NATURAL」があるから 「ゆっくり休んでくれ」とは言えないけど
but you should be able to take it easier than you have been recently.
今までよりは のんびりやれるだろう
Another new character? He looks cool.
また新キャラ かっこいいな
This isn't for NATURAL.
これ 「NATURAL」じゃないですけど
え じゃ 何
Then what is it?
I don't have a title for it yet, but it's about heroes based on the elements of the periodic table.
タイトル付けてないですけど 元素記号使ったヒーローものです
も もう新作 描いてるのか
Y-You're drawing a new manga already?!
I'm only drawing because I would be restless if I didn't.
描いてないと落ち着かないから 描いてるだけです
So this wasn't NATURAL?!
これって「NATURAL」じゃなかったのか
Yes.
はい
Can I take a look at it?
ちょっと見せてもらっていいか
Go ahead.
どうぞ
This is the middle of a chapter, right?
これ 話の途中だよね
Jeez, so many questions.
もう うるさいですね
I've already drawn about a hundred pages that came before those.
その前に100ページは描いたと思いますけど
A hundred?!
100
If a first chapter is usually 50 pages,
1話目を50ページとしてももう4話ぐらい 描き上がってる事に しかも
then that means he's drawn about four chapters' worth already.
And what's more...
it's as good as CROW.
「CROW」なみに面白い
But, heroes based on the elements?
でも 元素記号をヒーローになんて過去に誰かがやってそうだけど
I think someone's done that before.
I'm not making this for serialization, so there's no need to research that.
連載するために描いてるんじゃないですし 調べる必要ないです
If you're looking for something that's completely original,
誰も描いてないようなの読みたいなら
then I'd recommend my long series, Space Cockroach.
「宇宙のゴキブリ」の長編とかお薦めですけど
Space Cockroach?! What's that? How long is it? How many pages?!
「宇宙のゴキブリ」 何だ それ
長編って 何ページぐらい
I'm not sure, but if it was compiled into volumes, there'd be around 30 of them.
よく分かんないですけど
コミックスにしたら30巻分くらいですかね
Er, whatever! I mean,
何でもいい っていうか
show me everything you've got that I haven't seen yet!
僕が見た事ないのは 全部見せてもらえないか
Wh-When did you draw all this?!
い いつの間に こんなに描いたんだ
During the spare time I had in between doing CROW and NATURAL.
「CROW」と「NATURAL」描いてて 余った時間です
Normal people wouldn't have spare time! They'd be out of it!
普通 余るどころか 足りないんだよ
Amazing.
とんでもねえ みんな「CROW」レベルか それ以上
They're all the same quality as CROW, or even better.
The Chief Editor told me to get him to make another manga as quickly as possible.
編集長にもできるだけ早く次回作をって言われたけど
Oh! He pretends he's in trouble,
then he transforms! Tooth!
変身 トゥーッス
I see.
そうか 新妻君は「休め」と言われたって マンガを描く
Even if you tell Niizuma to take a break, he'll draw manga during it.
He always wants to draw.
常に描いていたいんだ
Even if I say nothing, he'll come out with one manga after another.
黙っていたって次々と作品は生まれる
It's best to let him work freely and not hurry him.
自由にやらせた方が 焦らない方がいい
Niizuma has the potential to make something better than CROW...
新妻君なら「CROW」以上
No, the potential to create the greatest masterpiece in all of Jack's history.
いや 「ジャック」の歴史上最高の名作を生み出す可能性を持っている
Yuujirou.
雄二郎さん
You went quiet all of a sudden. Is anything wrong?
今度は急におとなしいですけど どうかしたんです
N-No.
い いや そうだ 新妻君
Hey, Niizuma, is there any place you'd like to travel to?
行ってみたい所はないかな
Anywhere in the world.
世界中のどこでもいい
I want to go to the Louvre, visit the pyramids, and see the Northern Lights!
ルーブル美術館とピラミッドとオーロラ見たいです
I see.
そうか
You may not be able to do all that,
全部は無理かもしれないけど
but you can go a fact-finding trip both to congratulate yourself on a job well done,
連載のお疲れさまというのと 視野を広げてもらう意味で
and to expand your outlook.
取材旅行には行ける
Oh! I can go?!
おおっ 行けるんです
Hello, Master Niizuma?
もしもし 新妻師匠
Your final chapter was super exciting!
最終回 しびれたぜ
Fukuda.
福田先生
When I saw the sample copy and realized I forgot to congratulate you in the comments on the contents page,
見本誌見て目次コメントに 「お疲れ」って書くの忘れたのに気がついて
I thought I'd call you and tell you personally.
どうせなら 直で言った方がいいと思ってさ
Good job on CROW!
「CROW」お疲れさまでした
It's frustrating, but both you and your ending are coolest ever!
悔しいが 新妻師匠も終わり方も最高にかっこよかったぜ
Thanks.
どうもです
All right, then! That's all I wanted to say!
じゃあな
俺もう挨拶したからな
Congratulatory comments in the table of contents?
目次コメントに「お疲れ」ですか
Yeah, most of the authors wrote some.
ああ ほとんどの人が書いてくれてるぞ
Seigi no Mikata
Takahama Shouyou
Good job with "CROW", Niizuma.
I'll continue doing my best while looking up to you. [Shouyou]
Aoki Kou
Good job with "CROW",
What God Gave Me
Everyone's telling me "Good job" in these comments.
Niizuma. Do your best with "NATURAL+"! [Kou]
みんな目次コメントで「お疲れさま」と言ってくれるんですね
Never Reaching You
Hiramaru Kazuya
I absolutely loved the way you ended "CROW",
Yeah, there's been a lot of these lately.
まあ 最近は多いよな
Niizuma! I'll follow your example and try to bring my own
manga to an end as soon as possible. [Kazuya]
PCP - Perfect Crime Party
Ashirogi Mutou
Good job with "CROW", Niizuma.
Thank you for answering our last challenge. [Mutou]
"Thanks for answering our final challenge."
「最後の勝負に応えてくれた事」
They're talking about when you extended the deadline until you began your final chapter, right?
これ 連載終了を阻止する期限を 最終回を描くまでに延ばした事を言ってるんだろ
Ashirogi's being serious here,
亜城木君も真面目だけど
but the readers will have no idea what they mean.
これじゃ読者は 何の事かサッパリだよな
He'll get first place by a long shot with this final chapter.
これは 最終回ぶっちぎりの1位だろうな
Last week, PCP was 4th and GIRI was 3rd.
「PCP」も先週4位だし
「GIRI」も3位
If he does get first place, that'll be 20 weeks in a row.
そうなると 結局20週連続1位
That's almost too cool.
ちょっと かっこよすぎよね
Eh? Niizuma?
うわっ 新妻さん
Hello!
こんにちはです
Hello!
こんにちは
Wh-What is it, Niizuma?
ど どうしたんですか 新妻さん
"We are thankful that you answered our last challenge."
「最後の勝負に応えてくれた事に感謝しています」
No, I'm the one who's thankful.
いえ こちらこそです
Thanks to you, I got even more fired up and was able to make it even better.
おかげで燃えられ より面白くできたです
That's what I came to say.
それを言いに来ました
Well, then.
では
I was the one who said we should write that!
そのコメント 僕がそうしようって言ったんです
I see.
そうですか
Takagi once said that we must probably be nuisances to you, just getting in your way of ending CROW.
高木が一度「新妻さんから見たら」
僕たちは『CROW』を終わらせる 邪魔をしているだけじゃないか」って言った事があって
That's not true, is it?
違うんですよね
No. Not at all.
はい 全然違います
When I said I would end CROW,
僕が 「CROW」を終わらせると言った時
you and the other authors came up and declared that you wouldn't let me do that.
亜城木先生も 他の先生方も そんな事させるかって向かってきてくれました
I was happy.
うれしかったです
We both put our pride and our resolve on the line, and competed with all we had.
お互いの意地とプライドを懸けて本気で競い合う
That is what a true rival is.
それでこそ 本当のライバル 仲間
A friend!
That is a battle between men.
あれは 男と男の勝負です
People who don't understand battles between men are boring.
男の勝負が分からない人はつまらないです
Before I came to Tokyo from Aomori,
僕は青森から東京に出てくるまで
it was fun to draw manga,
マンガを描くのは楽しかったですけど
but I was always alone.
いつも一人でした
But now I'm not alone anymore.
でも 今はもう一人じゃない
That makes me very happy.
それがものすごくうれしいです
I'll always be thankful for that.
いつも ありがとうです
This isn't over, right?
もう これで終わりって事はないですよね

We lost to CROW.
「CROW」には負けました けど
However, our battle isn't over yet!
勝負が終わったわけじゃない
Yes.
はい 永遠の 宿命のライバルです
We're eternal archrivals!
Niizuma, hurry up and write your next work!
新妻さん 早く次の作品 描いて下さい
Yeah.
うん 「NATURAL」じゃなく 新妻さんのオリジナルに勝ちたい
We want to win against your original work, not NATURAL!
You can't win against the next manga I write!
次に描くマンガには亜城木先生は勝てないです
We won't know unless we try!
やってみなければ分からない
You sound so sure about that. Does that mean you've decided on your next manga?
そう言い切るからには もう次回作決まってるんですか
Yes! I'll tell you, since you're Ashirogi.
はい 亜城木先生には教えといてあげます
The next one I write won't just be the best manga in Jack...
次に描くマンガは「ジャック」で一番じゃなく
It'll be the best manga ever written!
世に出たマンガで一番のマンガです
