iM@S Mana - Azusa Chapter 1 (reproofread)

01


Hello, Ritsuko-san
I'm not getting lost today~ I'll get there shortly.

Eh? Today's work is cancelled?

Mmm... Then today...
Is a day off? Is that alright?


02


Fufu~ surprisingly, I have a day off for once.
I'm in a good mood~

Ah

Then... what to do with this?


03


Going quietly at her own pace
Healing
A bit more mature
Big sis of Ryuuguu Komachi


04


Fufu, I guess everyone will be surprised.

What do you mean?

Change of casting? To who?


05


Jupiter...

Jupiter?

Why are you suddenly telling us now? I can't accept this!

We'll make up for this, so please pardon us this time.

Bye
Ah, please hold on


06


What about Jupiter?
Well, perhaps I should explain it later...

They're members of 961Pro.

President...

These kinds of incidents happen over and over...
It has become evident that they're disrupting us.
When I think about it now

Their first move was probably the incident when the cover of a sample magazine got replaced.

And earlier, Hibiki-chan almost got injured.


07


I'll go to the location and talk to them directly.

Please wait, Ritsuko-kun

But, President...
It'd do us no favors even if you go.

The person in charge over there owes us a favor.
Just keep that in mind.

I don't mind it now


08


But when I think that those girls just lost a job...

Didn't we decide on this before?

We will compete fair and square.

Using everyone's power to make our agency untouchable to them.

Producer...

How is everyone doing?


09


Azusa-san?!

Fufu, this cake is my treat
Shall we have it together?

Then I'll make some tea.


10


Hey! What is all this about?

Iori, Ami
Ara, Iori-chan, Ami-chan, good morning

Like she said... explain this to us

How could you guys eat this cake without us!
Fufu, I do have a piece for everyone.

You sure?
Wait... that's not the point.

Our stage performance got canceled in a flash.
Don't tell me you'll back down without a fight.


11


Fufu, Iori-chaaaan
Woop

Let's eat some sweet cake together first.

My apologies to everyone.

If I were more careful...

Don't let that bother you.
President, put that aside and have some cake with us.
Ahh, I'll take up your kind offer.


12


Fufu

We managed to have a day off.
But we still met up in the office.

Right.
Ain't that obvious? You think we should be traveling?

Well, President, Producer-san
I have a request.

Could you give Ritsuko-san a day off as well?

Eh? Azusa-san?


13


J! (Juicy!)
P! (Party!)
Y! (Yeah!)
(Proofreader's note, don't include in typesetting: Takahashi Chikai's (Azusa's VA) catch-phrase)

14


Just as I'd expected, Azusa-san, you have a nice ladylike room.
Ufufu, please relax and make yourselves at home

Geez! Why are we having a party out of the blue.

We managed to take a day off.
So let's enjoy it to the fullest.


15


Look, look! The bed is so comfy!

Azusa onee-san's nice smell.

That's way too relaxed!


16


But... Are you sure I should've come?
?

Usually, I'd spend this free time preparing for the next job...

That's totally fine.
Because you're the one who always works the hardest.

Azusa-san...

But... heh, when you dress like that
It gives off the aura of a just-married wife.


17


Eh? Does it look like that?

Nfufu~ By the way, Iorin, can you cook?
Y-You know
I don't have to prepare my own meals.
Ahaha... How should I put it... I don't really...

Fufu, that's fine.
I'll take care of the main parts.
But at the very least I could lend you a hand.

If only we had Harurun and Yayoicchi.
Hey, I can do it too!


18


What's going on?
Hm, what's up, Touma?


19


This script.
Ryuuguu Komachi is a unit from 765, am I correct?

Ah, my apologies. That's a previous version.

Hey, what's this about?
This script says 765Pro's girls have been arranged for this job, doesn't it?
That... That should be the case, but they canceled the performance on us without prior notice.

What the heck?

And you call yourself a pro?
Those kids aren't qualified to get on stage.

What a hot-blooded boy, Touma-kun.


20


Thanks for the meal!

Wow
Delicious

Ufufu, it's a special dinner we all cooked together after all.


21


Fufu, Iori-chan, it's very tasty.

Really?
Nfufu~ isn't that good to hear, Iorin.


22


Understood.
So, I'll leave it to you.

I apologize to everyone regarding this situation involving Kuroi.
President...
You don't have to.

Our conflict has resulted in all these problems.
I'm really sorry to drag you guys into this.

Don't say that.


23


That we've fought through this much of an obstacle is what makes us 765Pro.

Mmm
You're right.

Hello, you've called 765Pro.

Producer-san.

We're sorry, but today Akizuki and her unit are...


24


Ehh, are you sure about that!?

Ricchan, this show...
Right. It's the one you were supposed to be on.

Huh, turn it off.
It makes me feel sick.

Ah, it's Jupiter!


25-26

27


And that was "Alice or Guilty" by Jupiter.

It's a shame, but...

At the moment, we are no match for them in any aspect.

Are you saying we can't beat them at this point?

May I have a word?


28


I think we have it though.
A way that we're ahead of them.

Eh, what is that?

Fufu

That is...


29-30


The joy of staying together.
Whether it's on stage or anywhere else.

Azusa-san

Wait, Azusa

I'm having so much fun!

*Ping-pong


31


Ara
Do you have a guest?

What could it be?

This is...

Ah, may I take a look?

Here it is...


32


What?
Who knows?

So... Ritsuko-san?
Azusa-san
Starting tomorrow, we'll be busier than ever before!

!

Okay


33


<Nanairo Button>

Best of luck to you!
<With their hands on their new song "Nanairo Button",
Ryuuguu Komachi is moving on to the next stage.>
