Isobe Isobee vol 1

Maybe things will go faster if I do several chapters a day

Chapter 3.5: It looks like this will be the best day ever (de sourou)

Today's Sunday!
I'm gonna roll around all day (de sourou)

[SFX: ごろ = roll]

The perfect posture...
Eludes me (de sourou)

If I do this, my shoulder and back bones will.....
I don't wanna focus all my weight there...

But...

If I do this, there's the muscles at the center of my back...
This... just... just feels weird and uncomfy...
[Pic has 'back' kanji']

I say that, but if I sit like this...
The lumps of my ass will continue to bother me...!! This isn't relaxing anymore!!
[Pic is ass kanji]

Dammit!!

What a Sunday...!

I have to count the lines on the tatami...
1 2 3 4 5 6 oh this is so much fun. 7 8 9 10 11 12 13...

I give up...

Maybe I should go out
But if I do it'll feel like I lost.

Every person who goes out on a Sunday is a...

Whoa! This position's great!!!!

Now I don't have to make my body work so hard....
It's a little hard to breath, but for some reason it feels good. It makes the human brain operate somehow...

It looks like this'll be the best day ever...

"What's wrong Isobee..."
"It's time for school"

"Uh..."
"Today's Sun......"

"Today's Monday"

"Whaaaaaa..."

Thank you, user.

3.5 Isotriv (Isobee Trivia)
Days: In the Edo period, there was no system for 'days of the week'. That system was only universally used during the Meiji era. But it seems that the Temple schools had settled that the holidays were to take place on the 1st, 15th and 25th of each month. Please think about these days when Isobee talks about 'Sunday'. The imagination is important. Imagination.

[Comic] When I think about it, 2 weeks is too long (de sourou)
2 days off per week would be nice...

Chapter 5: The manualist Nakajima (de sourou)

"Gimme your money dammit!"
"N... no!"
"Listen to us dammit!"

"We lost our wager and everything down to our clothes got taken from us, dammit!"
"Pay for your mistakes..."
"Watch what you say, dammit!"

"We'll use our strength dammit!"
"Is that so... kuku..."
",,,dammit?"

"You guys..."
"Cannot beat me!"
Bushischool student: Nakajima Jou


"Uuugh, you liar dammit!"
"You say we can't beat you but you can't... you... dammit!!"
"Kukuku...."

"I have this 'Certain victory! How you can be a man who wins in fights 'For dummies'...!"

"Definite victory method 1! You should fight with a calm soul! Yeah... I am calm! Uhhh 2... use the correct form!"

"I see... It'll be hard to fall by lowering my center of gravity by keeping my body down... And my respiration method! Those who control their breathing can control a fight! Ha ha ha,, I see!"

"Challenge them with a loud voice and say 'Come at me!' !"
" 'Come at me!' "
"If you do that, you'll successfully ruse the idiots. I understand!"

"Now clench my fist here"

"Daaghh!!"

"Ugh"
"Ugh"
[SFX is a combo of 'pow' 'biff' 'smack']

"Hey what're you doing!! Put on your clothes!!"
"Tch dammit!"
"Run for it dammit"
"Uugh..."

I did exactly
What was written...

I couldn't win at all...

I got tricked!

Chapter 4: The manualist Nakajima (de sourou)

"...so that happened..."
"That's a cruel story right? Isobee!"

"They lied about certain victory because it was written! Now I'll buy better reference books"
"You're naive (de sourou), Nakajima..."

"...huh?"
"If you get stronger because of books, you won't encounter adversity!"

"Try thinking... of some strong warriors (de sourou)"

Strong warriors......?

Miyamoto Musashi...
Kami Izumi Ise no Kami...
Honda Tadakatsu...
And others...

"None of them have books on them (de sourou)"

That's right...!

Don't go with instruction books that someone wrote...
Search for it with your own strength... Wouldn't that be... the real strong warrior?"

...that's right...

I... I see. I felt like I was getting strong.
But I was copying how others were getting strong...

Without doing any training myself......

"If... you have motivation, Nakajima..."

"Let's see who'll be the magnificent warrior first... it's a fight (de sourou)!"

Isobee...

Hehe... I won't lose!
I won't!

"Hm hm hmmmm hm hm"

I'm tiiiiired.

I wanna be
a magniiiificent warrioor

"I got tricked!"
[Note] Isobee's eyes don't look too good

[Up left] It's not like NEETs wanna write in the first place (Nakama)

6: Summary up to now
We said Isobee was a 'NEET warrior' in the non serialized edition. But, the author has a comment on that. 'If he goes to school, he won't be a NEET...'. The editor thought 'That doesn't matter'. The author considered for a while 'Maybe it'll be better not to use the NEET thing... what now...', but did the editor get real annoyed inside and say 'Enough already, just write the story'...!?

Chapter 6: Geh (de sourou)

"Uuugh... The sword hunt should be done...uuugh..."

Gagh
"Haah!"

"Crap...!"
"Today's the test (de sourou)!!"

"Okay......"
"Please begin...... your tests......"

Okay he's spacing out!

Uiiiiiii

Aaaaahhh

Uuughh

"Okay... then..."

"Okay..."

Bam

Peek

Hah

Flick

Glop glop glop glop glop glop

Geh

"Take it again!"

[Top right] Fog up!

Ch 6: Isotriv (Isobee Trivia)
Glasses: The one who first brought glasses to Japan might have been the famous missionary Francis Xavier because the top of his head was a little lonely. Glasses were an oddity and expensive in the Edo period, so common city folk couldn't buy them. Which means, maybe this manualist Nakajima isn't some idiotic kid...!?

Going out somewhere again, but I shall return maybe in a few hours.

Now this page from Souma makes more sense.

I think I can squeeze one more.

Chapter 7: Daihatssuan is persistent (de sourou)

I'm late for schooooool!!!

Aghhh why didn't mother wake me up!?
I always told her that she has to wake me up or I can't! Oh man.......

That aside, if I can't become a magnificent warrior, how does she intend to take responsibility!?

"Hey"
[Title is the same]

"Wh what is it? I'm in a hurry to school...."
" 'Trivial fight'....... that gives you courage to do so......right?"

Trivial...?

I don't have any idea what this guys is saying. Gotta go!
"Why you.... don't run away fool!"

"Do you know what it means when our hilts touch?"
"No... I'm late man..."
Teach me! History general-san!
A 'trivial fright' is the hilts of walking warriors bump each other! The sword is the warrior's soul, so bumping them would be very rude! I'd kill them right away. -Oda Nobunaga

" 'Hilt bumping'!!"

" 'Hillumpin?' "

Pupu. This guy must've mistaken me for some Dutch guy or something
[Side] Hillumpin

"This is an outrage... how do you plan on repaying this... hhuuh!?"

"You mistaken me for someone (de sourou)!"

"Ohh I made a mistake... sorry"

"Wait you biiiiitch!!"
"Whaaaa!!?"

"I'm not Hillumpiiiiiin (de sourou)!!
Hillumpin
"Wait!"
"No!"

"Don't run! Are you a warrior!?"
"I am one!"

I have to fix this misunderstanding...!
"I am Isobe Isobee (de sourou)!!"

"So what of it!!"
"No I mean.."

"I'm not a Dutch guy!"

What is talking about!

Aghhh this guy is pissing me off so much.
Kill him! I'm gonna kill him now!
"Ah"

While I was fooling around...
I might've managed to make it in time!

Wheewwww

[Sign] Today there's no school -Sensei

"We don't have school todaaayyyyyy!!"

"Mgh... what the?"
"That was some blunt noise"
"H h hey, o o over there!!"

"It's Daihattsuan!!!"
"Daihattsuan got beat!!!"

"Who is that guy!!"
"I'll go home and sleep..."

Now I'll be back in a few hours again

[TN: Title not here, but it's 'Romance, for me, is... (de sourou)]

"According to this 'Romance Learning guidebook'... If someone falls in love, your reasoning abilities will decrease and you'll become more instinctive!"
"Ahhh, That stuff's already smaller than rice (de sourou)."

"I'm a warrior... As one who lives for battle love and passion would be... yeah"
"Haha, you said it Isobee!"
"Ah"

"That's..."
"Our regular customer Isobee-san"

Hello there!

"I'm together with my friend Nakajima (de sourou)"
"Oh. So you aren't going to come today?"

"Well if you say so... shall we?"
"I don't mind but..."
Okay, 2 people

Poster girl

"Welcome"

"Is that the dango shop's poster girl?"
"Yup. I come here time to time so she remembered me (de sourou)"

"I have no interest in her at all though!"

"Yeah. You did say 'as a warrior who lives for battle' just awhile ago, right?" [TN: Emphasize 'just awhile ago']
"Yup"

"I brought the menus"
"Oh thank y"
"Thanks"

fuck, I relate to this way too hard

"What should we have"

"Hey did you change your voice awhile ago?"
"....there;s no way I did..."
"...really?"
"Yeah"

"......uh... you like her?"

"Huh?"

"No, wait a minute? That's not possible right?"

"Don't hide it. I won't tell anybody"
"No, like I said, I don't like her, I don't. Not at all"
"Have you decided?"

"Skewered dangos"
"And you, Nakajima?"
"Ah... uhhhh"

"This is good (de sourou)"
"...Isobee"

"You do like her"

"How rude, Nakajima!!!"

"Do I look like I'm infatuated with a girl?"
"Y yes you do..."
"Whaaaaa?"

"But look, she's actually cute... it wouldn't be weird to fall in love with her"

"Well, it's true that she's cute, pure, and never forgets to provide entertainment... She may be clumsy sometimes, but she has a good heart and thinks of her parents (de sourou). I digress, but she's 16 years old and her 3 sizes are 82-60-83, so she's pretty much a bull's eye. And I have proof she doesn't have a boyfriend. But... falling in lover with her is a different matter..."

That's creepy...

"That's in accordance with the 'Romance Learning guidebook' okay?"
"Again with that book. Creepy..."

"It says 'About 90% of women... want a confession from the guy'!"

"Would you like some more tea?"

"I..."
"I would..."
Isobee... no way...

"L..."
"L..."

"Like you (de sourou)!"

"I'm so"

"To bring some tea!!"

"Oh some tea..."
"Some tea..."
He spoke ambiguously
[Note] Just tea!

Ch 8: Isotriv (Isobee Trivia)
Romance: In the town of Edo, it seemed like girls were fewer in number compared to men, so there weren't many chances to become couples. Which means both Isobee and Nakajima wished [to get with her] without saying so. However, having affairs because they were /jealous/ being outrageous were fundamentally acceptable. So yeah, it has nothing to do with Isobee and Nakajima, but...

'I'm so...' what was gonna come after that...
Please let it be 'So good'...

Okay, now I'm done for the night. Maybe I'll do more tomorrow or the day after.

Right. The slashed part (/jealous/) is meant to be crossed out.

So is de sorou an archaic relative of "desu?"

Sorta I guess. It was an old honorific. Think of it as the desu doll but archaic

Thanks for translating tank extras, Russian scanlator skipped on them.
