(frame 1)
Jinnai: Why you nasty ill woman…
Undressing me like that here
Vice President: Everyone there's nothing to see
Anna: Well you were asking for it by doing that to me!
It sure did go blue didn't it
(frame 2)
Anna: I think you should think about what you did to me!
Saeko: Whats with this
Anna: I just think I might do this Kyuudou thing?
(frame 3)
Saeko: Don't kid around Anna go home…
Jinnai: You can't do that
(frame 4
Jinnai: You think you can just do Kyuudou
Jinnai: Don't waste your time it's not the same as Ballet
Page 016
(frame 1)
Anna: What are you trying to say?
Just because I can't afford to be exposed! You're treating me unfairly…
sfx: gaa- grab
Jinnai: Well if I'm being unfair how's this
(frame 2-3)
Jinnai: You need to prove yourself to me by getting an easy victory then I don't see why not
Jinnai: But I'm sure someone stupid as you knows it isn't easy
sfx: mukaa- anger
(frame 4)
Anna: It's settled then I'll get an easy victory in your Kyuudou!
Anna: You're going to regret angering me the prima donna!

Page 017
(frame 1)
That same day I Katsuragi Anna started to prepare
Saeko: It's your first day so I'll explain what you're using okay
To start off this is the bow which you pull the sting back with
It's pretty tight
Anna: okay
(frame 2)
Girl: Stop that's a sturdy mens bow!
It weighs 20kg
(frame 3)
Girl: A beginner like you should wait to use something else easier
Anna: No it's fine
(frame 4)
Anna: I'll learn how to pull it
Saeko: Eh…
Anna: puff
(frame 5)
That guy Jinnai…
he knew I took up the life of ballet—
Why don't you try practice the stage
Page 018
(frame 1)
I think all I did was desperately practice
Woman- Now it's a big ordeal you're going on stage
Anna- I'll do my best!
And at last I had succeeded and received many awards for doing my best
And the time just—
(frame 2)
"Well if I'm being unfair how's this"

Girl: Amazing… She really is a talented prima donna huh
Saeko: Stop it senpai you'll get her full of herself
Shes not the prima donna you think
Page 019
(frame 1)
Anna: This is the force of a prima donna
Spur of the moment
Anna: Before long I'll have that blue demon bowing down from his mistake
Saeko- See
(frame 2)
Anna: But I won't forgive nasty him
Not ever in my life
Saeko: Why's that
Isn't that too much
(frame 3)
Jinnai: …that amateur…
Never she said?
Anna- Because I'm so talented I can do it
then what are you still doing that for…
Vice President: You know I'm a little worried about her and Kyuudou…
(frame 4)
Vice President: To change like that she must be up to it
And hopefully she won't lose any interest at all
Vice President: Why?
(frame 5)
Vice President: It seems she doesn't plan to lose
It'll be settled with an easy victory
But am I
Page 020
(frame 1)
Living up to be a talented prima donna—
sfx: giri- grind

Vice President: Stupid don't get excited
(Frame 3)
VP: It would have to be a miracle for her to hit it
They didn't consider the dangers
VP: …jinnai's like that
(frame 4)

(frame 2)
Jinnai: When will you give it up
sfx: karan- clatter
(frame 3)
Jinnai: What makes you think you'll be talented at Kyuudou
Person- gya she got kicked by him
Person 2- how mean
Jinnai: In general your body can't take it
(frame 4)
Jinnai: Your ballet is different from picking up the bow and arrow
Jinnai: You should go back to playing your ballet
Page 025
(frame 1)
Jinnai: or is it now you can't do anything
Jinnai: You're merely just a loser
(frame 2-3)
Jinnai: Go home you're an eyesore
Jinnai: It's just no good
Page 026

Jinnai: Don't make me repeat myself with my foot
Jinnai: Saeko go practice
VP: …jinnai
(frame 5)
VP: Even I think you went too far maybe
You should try thinking this over again
Jinnai: We're just wasting precious time
(frame 6)
VP: Your probably just not taking this girl serious enough?
The girl did express interest…
(frame 7)
Jinnai: Be quiet
sfx: zubii- chop
Page 027
(frame 1)
Jinnai: I'll never be able to understand that idiot
So it seems
That Kyuudou isn't quite my style
(frame 2)
Anna- I may not be able to hit with just basics
Anna- But I guess I'm still good at ballet
I'm talented at being a talented prima donna
sfx: ponn- lift

I put in a lot of effort but I've withdrawn from it
(frame 4)
It looks like I
My dream that I've grabbed onto is finished
And suddenly I'm crying
Page 029
(frame 1)
I'm not talented I'm a loser
(frame 2)
It looks like I've lost my target
Anna: …I regret…
Anna: I regret it…
Anna- ueeh
I've crawled from the bottom to the top to be a loser—
Page 030
(frame 1
(frame 2)
(frame 3)
I've sobered
Up from crying heavily
Anna- I'm just not talented at being talented
(frame 4)
I did my best in Ballet
At first, I started late and wasn't good but I sprouted
I thought it was useless no matter how many times I did it—
(frame 5)
I was so pitiful and went to my lessons less
Jinnai- you're just a crybaby
But one time Jinnai had made me reach my limit…
Anna- Jinnai you haven't changed now…
Anna- he even stood on me
(frame 6)
Page 031
(frame 1
However no matter how many times I cried
I may regret it that I hadn't done anything about it
(Frame 2)
I finally noticed that I cried a lot
No matter what I would keep pursing not to give up
(frame 3)
I didn't cry and keep going
Suddenly I had no reason to be sad

Anna: Please give me another chance
(Frame 3)
Anna: Please I'll take it very seriously
Anna: Please
(frame 4)
Jinnai: Well then the circumstances this time will be harder
If you practice on your own without help then I'll give the okay
Jinnai- haa

(frame 3)
VP: It'll be sad if someone like her left…
sfx: pann- impact
VP: Why? Who would have pushed her to do this
I wonder who
(frame 4)
Jinnai: She's pretty easy to read just like the others
Jinnai- it won't make a difference how much she practices
sfx: pori pori- scratch scratch
Jinnai: We I'll think about help for her if she passes
(frame 5)

VP- I just can't stop scratching
sfx: pori pori- scratch scratch

Page 035
(frame 1
Jinnai: It's not a good idea to spoil her
(frame 2)
Jinnai: No that's night right she's just a ill natured girl
Jinnai- that idiot just loves to bring me unhappiness
Jinnai: She doesn't deserve to get any special treatment
(frame 3)
Jinnai: But I'll admit that her will power
Jinnai: Is pretty great since she's showing absolute seriousness in this
Anna- haa
(frame 4)
Jinnai: She's won the title of being a talented prima donna
Jinnai: Every single day I know she'll continue to practice
(frame 5)
Jinnai: ……..
VP: …perhaps maybe you
Page 036
(frame 1
VP: Um maybe you actually like this girl?
sfx: gikuu-
VP- To me it sounds like the demons in love
(frame 2)
Jinnai: Wha—are you stupid how can I be…

VP: Ah let me explain
Maybe this is just what Kyuudou needs
(frame 3)
sfx: gusha- ruffle
(frame 4)
Jinnai: …Kyuudou is what I need thankgod nothing else
Jinnai: If only she was so serious at first…
Page 037
(frame 1
Jinnai:I think she's tightly devoted herself
(frame 2-3)
Jinnai: She stopped and ignored playing around to keep up
sfx: tsunori- weary
(frame 4)
Jinnai: However she
Jinnai: she'd forget easily since she was having fun with ballet
(frame 5)
Jinnai: When Anna did ballet she looked so happy
Jinnai: It was difficult for her and she forced herself to dance
But Anna smiled the best when people applauded her
Page 038
(frame 1
Jinnai: The way that she just smiles
Jinnai: How many times it's struck me
(frame 2)
Until the end I will not be a loser
Page 039
(frame 1
No matter how hopeless
No matter how pitiful I'll keep going
(frame 2)
Even if I squeeze all my strength
I'll certainly do it for myself

I will endure it all

(frame 5-7)
Jinnai: Why not try the target
Jinnai: This time you should be able to pull properly

He's not being so mean as he usually is
(frame 2)
Jinnai: Focus on pulling it nicely
Jinnai: Don't be timid
