Onegai! Meyasubako Volume 1 Chapter 1

This is no guarantee I'll be translating this manga, just a trial run to see if there's interest (and if I like it).

Please Use the Suggestion Box!
Suggestion 1
Page 5
Panel 1
Narration: One day at the naval base, a box was set up...

"Please write about your worries or any requests for the naval district.
We, the members of the Suggestion Box Resolution Committee, will strive to dispatch the appropriate shipgirls to help resolve these issues.
Please do your best to cooperate with shipgirls sent on such missions."

The box labeled "Suggestion Box" seemed interesting, odd, or even suspicious to the shipgirls - before long, it had drawn their interest and became the talk of the base.

It was rumored the the Committee was formed by battle-hardened, max level veterans.

The shadowy Suggestion Box Resolution Committee Meeting has begun...

Panel 2
?: Bring forth the suggestions.

Black Hood: (Eh?)
Are we still doing these getups next time?

Panel 2
Committee Member No. 2: Paper Bag
Paper Bag: Anonymity is a necessity if we are to judge fairly, is it not!? Actually, I even wanted to do candle lighting!
Black Hood: What evil secret society is this supposed to be?

Panel 3
Committee Member No. 6: Bandages
Bandages: Why do the judges need to be anonymous too, anyway...?
Committee Member No. 4: Bunny
Bunny: This is hooooot! Can I take it off!?

Panel 1
Black Hood: No worries there.
We only got one.

Panel 2
Hyottoko: I guess they're still suspicious of it, huh.
Paper Bag: Why...? We're such an upright organization...

Panel 3
Bandages: Blrf Hrf Frhhhf
(If we show some results, we'll get more. Let's do our best to respectfully resolve these one by one!)
Ski Mask?: I guess you're saying something good!?
(Didn't you overdo the bandaging!?)

Panel 4
Black Hood: Moving on, I shall read this letter, submitted by one commendable person brave enough to trust this suspicious group.
Ski Mask: We're not suspicious!

Panel 5
Black Hood: This is from destroyer Yayoi-san.
"I'm often asked if I'm angry, even though I'm not. What should I do to prevent these kinds of misunderstandings?"

Page 9
Panel 1
Black Hood: "If I take initiative and say 'I'm not angry', I just get even more 'You're mad, aren't you?'... I'm not angry though." That's the end.
Hyottoko: So even by denying she's angry, people think she's angry, huh...

Panel 2
Ski Mask: I hope we can resolve this somehow...

Panel 3
Ski Mask: How about that girl with the light-hearted Kansaiben that makes everyone laugh? If we get Yayoi-san to look happy, the people around her won't misunderstand her anymore, right?
Bunny: [Bored]
Black Hood: Sounds good. Then...
