Panel 1:
Rryaaa!
Uraaaaa!
(These are just noises of exertion, no need to worry about these)
Panel 2:
Randou: Until then... I thought there was nothing that could scare me.
(he's actually saying something more like "That was the me that didn't believe there was anything to fear... until then." But that's just ugly)
Panel 3:
Announcer: And it's finished!
This tournament's winner is Randou Masashi, of Seika High!
(yes, it's loose. And yes, it makes more sense than "this instant, Player Randou Masashi of Seika High has had his victory decided!")
Randou: Yeeeeah!
Panel 4:
Announcer: He may be short, but he's strong!
And amazingly, he made it through this tournament without a single loss!
Pages 2, 3: Cover page

Panel 1:
Randou: Daaaaahahahaha! Who gives a shit about the Hokkaidou regional tournament?
Panel 2:
Randou: Damn, that was easy.
The national tournament'll be a piece of cake too
Guy: Damn, you were awesome!
Panel 3:
Guy 2: There's no man in Japan that can match up to Randou!
Randou: Of course! Hahaha, who do you think I am?
Panel 4:
Woman 1: Such despicable characters!
Woman 2: Yelling like that on a bus... what school are they from?
Panel 5:
Punk: You got a problem with us, grandma? Huh?
Panel 6:
Punk: I'll take care of you! Gyahaha
Randou: Ack...
(ga, ge, ack, same thing)
Panel 7:
Randou: That girl...
(I highly recommend that you learn how to read "doki". It happens a lot, since it's a heartbeat and all)
Page 5:
Panel 1:
Randou: This is bad... she's on the bus too?
Bus driver: Stopping here...
Panel 2:
Randou: Dammit, shut up! You're annoying the other passengers!
Panel 3:
Punk: Randou, what the hell're you doing?
Randou: Shut up!
Panel 4:
Randou: Sometimes we happen to be on the same bus...
Panel 5:
Randou: She's a freshman at my school. Her name's Kurimi Rina.
Panel 6:
Randou: Aa... she saw me doing stupid shit again.
Page 6:
Panel 1:
Randou: She looks like such a serious girl...
Randou: Things'd never work between us.
(Literally "This love will never mature/ripen, huh...")
Panel 2:
Punk 1: Okay, we're getting off here.
Punk 2: See you tomorrow.
Randou: The guys around me are a bunch of fools,
Panel 3:
Randou: And I'm the biggest badass around...
(the kanji "otoko" in this case uses the furigana "yarou", meaning Randou thinks of the guys as bums)
Randou: (If they found out what happened to me...)
(They'd definitely laugh at me)
(But...)
(A scary turning point in my life was about to hit me.)
Page 7:
(Though I didn't know that very well back then.)
Panel 2:
Randou: NOAAAAAA
Manabe: GYAAAAA
Panel 3:
Randou: H...huh? What the-
Page 8:
Panel 1:
Manabe: You sc...sc...scared the crap out of me. Waking up all of a sudden...
Randou: Who're you?
Panel 2:
Manabe: Me? I'm your primary care physician, Manabe.
Panel 3:
Randou: Where is this?
Manabe: A hospital, naturally...
Panel 4:
Manabe: That sure was a terrible accident you were in. It was a miracle that you were saved.
Panel 5:
Manabe: You've been in a coma for the past year.
Randou: (A year...?)
Panel 6:
Manabe: Your injuries were severe, but the burns all over your body were worse.
But don't worry, in the last year I've brought you back to the way you were.
Panel 7:
Manabe: Look in the mirror and see for yourself!
Page 9
Manabe: What do you think? Isn't it perfect?
Randou: A... aa!
Page 10
Panel 1:
Randou: What the hell is this?!
Panel 2:
Randou: My face... is Kurimi Rina's face...?
Panel 3:
Randou: You bastard, what have you done to me?
(Literally "what's the meaning of this face?")
What'd you DO to me?
Manabe: Huh?!
Panel 4:
Manabe: What do you mean, what? Your burns were really bad... Your face was so badly burned that we couldn't see what you once looked like.
Page 11:
Panel 1:
Manabe: You weren't carrying anything that could identify you. Luckily, they found this photo we thought was yours.
Panel 2:
Randou: (That's the picture of Rina-chan that I secretly carried around!)
Manabe: And man, was it hard to restore your face from that...
Panel 3:
Manabe: Yes... No matter how big the world is, I don't think there's any other surgeon that has the kind of skill with orthopedics that could have restored you. But that's why I'm such a genius!
Panel 4:
Randou: What kind of idiot would carry a photo of himself that religiously?!
Panel 5:
Randou: What the hell are you doing giving a guy a girl's face? I have balls, you know!
(the circle (maru) mark in this panel is a common form of self-censoring, since he's saying "kintama" but the "n" is replaced so it ends up being 'beeped' in the middle there)
Panel 6:
Manabe: What? There are guys with girl's faces. But to tell the truth, over the past year your hair has grown and gotten cute... by seeing you change like that, I started having problems with you being a guy.
Page 12
Panel 1:
Manabe: So I thought I'd cut off the one thing that was getting in the way. I was just about to start the operation-
(Manabe says "ichimotsu", which is slang for the male genitalia and rather closely matches the English euphemism "thingie".)
Panel 2:
Randou: You fucking quack!
(he actually says kuso-isha, which is shitty doctor... but quack works quite well in this case)
Manabe: Agagaga!
Panel 3:
Randou: Get me back to normal, you bastard!
Manabe: You say that like I know who you really are... I don't.
Panel 4:
Manabe; Here, I have a picture of you just after the accident. Is this what you want me to do to your face?
Randou: UGEEEEE
Panel 5:
Randou: My name is Randou Masashi... third year student at Seika high.
Manabe: Randou? That's strange.
Panel 6:
Manabe: When that bus fell off the cliff, that boy definitely died.
Page 13
Panel 1:
Manabe: There were five injuries and one death. The one who died was blackened all over just like you were, and the family identified him as Randou Masashi.
Panel 2:
Randou: Don't fuck around with me! I'm alive right here, aren't I?
Panel 3:
Manabe: Then I made a mistake...
(the tiny text next to Manabe's head says "Those happen sometimes.")
I see. That's the way it is...
Randou: (This freak... thinking it's someone else's problem)
Panel 4:
Randou: I've got to get home! A fucked up story like this can't be true!
(Fuzakeru is one of my favorite verbs in Japanese. It really is. It's so... flexible)
Panel 5:
Randou: I'm going to come back with a picture of me, so get me back to normal!
Panel 6:
Manabe: At least put on some clothes...
Randou: Aa!
Page 14:
Panel 1:
Manabe: Actually, while you were in a coma I tried putting a lot of outfits on you.
Here, this one really suits you...
Panel 2:
Randou: You freaking pervert!
Panel 3:
Randou: (He's gotta be kidding me... saying I've been dead for the past year? Then who could I possibly be?)
Panel 4:
Sign: For Sale
(cultural note here: the Japanese don't believe in used homes. Whenever someone moves into a place, it HAS to be new. They refuse to live in houses that have been previously owned, so they demolish houses soon after people move out)
Page 15
Panel 1:
Randou: WHAT THE HELL?
Panel 2:
Randou: My house... my house isn't here. Why?
Panel 3:
Woman: Hmm? Miss, what's wrong?
Panel 4:
Woman: There was a house here six months ago. But their son died, and their memories made it too painful to live here, so they moved.
Randou: WHERE?
Panel 5:
Woman: I... I don't know!
Panel 6:
(small text by woman's head: What's wrong with that girl?)
Randou: (They... MOVED?!)
Page 16
Panel 1:
Randou: (Then... what's going to happen to me? I'm officially dead, I don't look like I used to... And I don't have anywhere to go home to anymore.)
Panel 2:
Randou: (Who am I?)
Panel 3:
Randou: (At any rate, if I don't get a picture of myself, I can't talk to anyone with Rina-chan's face.
Panel 4:
Randou: (Huh?)
Panel 6:
Randou: (Hey, wait... this face is Kurimi Rina's, right?)
Panel 7:
(It's bad to walk around like this.
If I...
Meet the...
Real thing...)
Ha... Ha...
HAUUAAAAA!
Uh, this is, I mean, that is, uh...
Page 18
Panel 1
Rina: Onee-chan!
(Big Sister. I've never heard anyone call their big sister "Big Sister" outside of Asian cultures, so I'm keeping this as Onee-chan, since it's an awkward form of address in English)
Panel 4:
Kurimi-parents: Yuna! It's really Yuna! Oh, thank God! Yuna's come back to us!
Panel 5:
Rina: I was so surprised I thought my heart would stop for a second.
Randou: (What the hell is going on?)
Page 19
Panel 1:
Kurimi-papa: Back in the winter of your third year in middle school, you ran away. We were so worried that you'd gotten into some kind of accident...
Randou: Ran away?
Panel 2:
Kurimi-papa: Yeah. If you were Yuna, you'd remember...
("Yuna nan darou?" is something that was hard for me to translate, for some reason. "aren't you Yuna?" doesn't quite sound right when rendered in English)
Panel 3:
Randou: (Crap. If I don't come up with a good explanation...)
Randou: Um... actually, my memory's a little fuzzy...
Panel 4:
Kurimi-papa: AMNESIA? Is that why you didn't come home?
Kurimi-mama: Oh, how terrible...
Panel 5:
Kurimi-mama: Back then, if we'd just understood your feelings, all this hardship would never have happened...
Panel 6:
Rina: Look! This is our photo album.
(Laying it on just... a little thick)
Panel 7:
Randou: (Ge... there's two Rina-chans?)
(to make the sound "ge" juuuust right, act like you're hacking up a hairball/coughing. It's sort of like "ack" but further back in the throat)
Page 20
Panel 1:
Randou: (Then...) Um... maybe...
Panel 2:
Randou: We're twins? Just kidding...
Panel 3:
Rina: That's right! Have you remembered, Onee-chan?
Randou: (I got it right?!)
Panel 4:
(box: Yuna's room)
Randou: Is this really okay? What, am I going to become Kurimi Yuna? Kurimi Rina's older twin?
Panel 5:
Randou: Then... I can live in the same house with Rina-chan?
Panel 7:
Randou: No, I can't do something like that!
Page 21
Panel 1:
Randou: (ut when I look at it... I have the same face as Rina-chan)
Panel 2:
Randou: (And in the year I've been asleep my arms and legs have gotten thinner.)
(As you'll see in later chapters, muscle atrophy has apparently done nothing to make Randou any weaker)
Panel 3:
Randou: (I don't have a chest... but from every angle I look like a girl.)
Panel 4:
Randou: (I don't think I'll be found out very easily. Might as well... if I had my way as the older sister, I could live here with Rina-chan)
(a little loose, but then again, I'm not translating for perfect accuracy, I'm translating for readability)
Panel 5:
Rina: Onee-chan...
Randou: It's all a lie!
Page 22
Panel 1:
Rina: Onee-chan... can I sleep with you tonight?
(Words cannot express how cute Rina-chan is at this point T_T)
Panel 2:
Randou: (WHAT!? I don't quite know why, but... I'm so excited...)
Panel 3:
Randou: Uh... that's a little bad, tonight, maybe, you think? Ahahahaha...
Rina: Why?
Randou: (This is the first time we've really talked... and she wants to sleep with me all of a sudden?)
(soine, literally "to accompany to sleep", is the innocent sense of "sleep with", rather than the sexual sense, which would be daku)
Panel 4:
Rina: The truth is, I thought that if I fell asleep, you'd go away again... it scared me.
(These two frames are great... Rina-chan worrying and being cute... and Randou looking sympathetic for the first time, like, ever)
Panel 6:
Randou: Hahaha, I'm not going to disappear like that again, so...
Rina: But...
Randou: It's alright, so don't worry about a thing! Go to sleep. Good night!
Page 23
Panel 1:
Randou: Haa... haa...
(panting, not laughing)
Panel 2:
Randou: (I feel like I just let the chance of a lifetime slip away... But I don't have a clue what I should do!)
Panel 3:
Sign: Manabe clinic
Panel 4:
Manabe: Hahahahaha! The world calls men like you weak-willed chickens.
(You may remember "konjou nashi" from Slam Dunk, where Gori calls Sakuragi "gutless". Same thing)
Panel 5:
Randou: You bastard, whose fault do you think this is?
Manabe: I'm deeply offended. I'm the doctor who saved your life.
Panel 6:
Manabe: If it's that painful to you, want to stay here? I don't really mind you being here, as long as it's only for a little while.
Panel 7:
Randou: But I can't do that...
(box: This morning, dad and mom said)
Page 24
Panel 1:
Kurimi-papa: How are you? Calmed down a little bit?
Yuna: Hm? Yeah...
(from here on, Randou starts using two different forms of speech. When he reverts to his rough-talking furyou ways, I'm going to call him "Randou". When he's talking a little more femininely, I'll designate it as "Yuna".)
Panel 2:
Kurimi-papa: I know that it's probably hard for you without your memory...
Kurimi-mama: Could you please treat Rina extra nice?
Panel 3:
Kurimi-papa: The girl's been suffering for two years.
Randou: (Huh?)
Panel 4:
Kurimi-papa: You two used to be the best of friends. No matter what you did, it was together.
Panel 5:
Kurimi-papa: You liked the same food, the same music...
Panel 6:
Kurimi-papa: You didn't love each other as much as mama and I do, though.
Kurimi-mama: Oh, papa!
(this one's a little tricky to render... (name)-ttara is an expression of a sort of affectionate exasperation)
Randou: (What's wrong with these two?)
Panel 7:
Kurimi-papa: So when it was time to think about high school...
Page 29
Panel 1:
Kurimi-papa: We wanted you and Rina to go to the same high school. But you didn't want to go to high school. You said you wanted to be a beautician.
Panel 2:
Kurimi-papa: We didn't know how stubbornly you were dedicated, and we were dead set against it. We argued so much that day...
Panel 3:
Yuna (the real one): What? Rina gets to go to the school she wants to, but I can't? I get it. It's because she's cuter than me, isn't it?
Panel 4:
Kurimi-papa: The next morning
(letter: "To Father and Mother")
you ran away from home.
Panel 5:
Kurimi-papa: Rina thought that it was all her fault... that because she was there, you couldn't follow the path you wanted.
Page 30
Panel 1:
Kurimi-papa: She's such a kind girl...
Panel 2:
Kurimi-papa: For two years, more than anything else, she's been praying for your safety.
Panel 3:
Randou: (I see... then last night...)
Rina: I thought that if I fell asleep, you'd go away again... it scared me.
Panel 4:
Randou: (I see... so if I go back to the way I'm supposed to look... if Kurimi Yuna disappears again... Rina-chan...)
Randou: She'll suffer so much...
Page 31
Panel 1:
Manabe: I see! Then you have to act like her sister! Yes, I see... that's how it is.
Panel 2:
Manabe: But you can't do it as a man.
Panel 3:
Manabe: I'll cut off the useless thing between your legs!
Randou: I SAID NO!
Panel 5:
Randou: In any case, I have to live as Kurimi Yuna for a little while, as long as I can't find a picture of what I used to look like.
Panel 6:
Randou: ...a!
Page 32
Panel 1:
Randou: (aa! Why didn't I figure it out before? There has to be at least one picture of me at school!)
Panel 2:
Yukie: Hey... that...
(Yeah, you don't learn Midori's name until chapter 2 and Yukie doesn't have a name until chapter 3, but whatever)
Midori: yeah...
Panel 4:
Randou: (Where should I start...)
Panel 5:
Midori: Waaaa! It really looks like her!
Yukie: Yeah!
Page 33
Panel 1:
Yukie: You're Rina's older sister, right?
Midori: We've heard a lot about you!
Panel 2:
Yukie: Hey, everybody, look, it really looks like her!
Randou: Hey, wait a sec!
Panel 3:
Crowd: Whoa, it's true!
I can't tell them apart!
It's been two years that you haven't been home, right?
Rina was soooo happy!
Panel 4:
Rina: Onee-chan, what's going on?
Panel 5:
Randou: (Ge... Rina-chan)
Yuna: Um... I just wanted to do a little sightseeing.
Panel 6:
Yuna: I thought 'what's Rina's school like'... it's a nice place, I might want to go here...
Randou: (What the hell am I saying?)
Rina: Really? That's great!
(only the second time Rina has smiled...)
Page 34
Panel 1:
Crowd: Waaaa! Real live twins!
But it looks like Yuna's a little taller, doesn't it?
Panel 2:
Yukie: We'd be in such a panic if you transferred here.
Keiko: But it'd be a lot of fun, wouldn't it?
Panel 3:
Rina: I'll show you around, I just know you'll like it here.
Yuna: Don't worry, I'll be fine on my own!
Panel 4:
Yuna: Study hard, okay?
Rina: Onee-chan...
Panel 5:
Rina: ...?
Crowd: (I wonder what's up?)
Panel 6:
Randou: (Is that some sort of female conspiracy? Pretty damn scary...)
Arrow: No immunity to women
Panel 7:
Randou: (If I live as a girl, will I have to go through that every day? I get chills just thinking about it.)

Panel 1:
Sign: Karate club
Randou: (First, I should try going to the karate club.)
Panel 3:
Randou: (Ooooh, they're really going at it!)
Randou: Yo, Tamura, Kinoshita!
Panel 4:
Kinoshita: Eh?
Panel 5:
Randou: It's me!
Panel 6:
Randou: (Wait, no it's not!)
Panel 7:
Kinoshita: What do you want?
Randou: (I'm not Randou right now!)
Yuna: Um, I mean...
Panel 8:
Kinoshita: Whoa, she's pretty cute.
Tamura: Yeah...
Page 36
Panel 1:
Randou: (What? Their faces are turning red...)
Kinoshita: What do you want?
Panel 2:
Randou: (Is it because of this face?)
Panel 3:
Randou: (Hahaa!)
Panel 4:
Yuna: Umm... I have a little request...
Kinoshita: Sure, just say it.
Panel 5:
Randou: (Hahaha...I can deal with guys easily with this face...)
Kinoshita: Huh? A picture of Randou-senpai?
Panel 6:
Kinoshita: I don't have anything like that. You?
Tamura: I don't have one.
Panel 7:
Kinoshita: Hey! Anyone have a picture of Randou-senpai?
Karate club: Are you kidding? Who here'd have something like that?
("baka iu na yo" is a little more literally "don't say something so stupid")
Panel 8:
Randou: (huh?)
Karate club: We threw that crap away a long time ago.
Page 37
Panel 1:
Kinoshita: I don't remember how many pictures we had of that bastard, but when he died we tore 'em all up and threw 'em in the gutter.
Tamura: I don't want to remember anything about that bastard, hahahahahaha
Panel 2:
Club: Just because he was a strong, he treated us like shit.
I really hated his ass. When he died I was so happy I could've flown.
That little midget!
Panel 3:
Randou: (What? What the hell is this?)
Panel 4:
Kinoshita: Hey... wait, we kept one. I think it was a group picture...
Panel 5:
(Hmm... arrows in the head, nose hair like in Boboboobo Boobobo, turds on the shoulders, an arrow saying "baka"... maybe they didn't like him)
Panel 6:
Club: DAAAHAHAHAHAHA! Heeeehehehehehe
Page 38
Panel 1:
Randou: WHY YOU LITTLE-
Panels 2,3:
(I usually won't deal with sound effects, but the effects in the next one are rather important, since they are mostly the onomatopoeia dealing with collisions and... things breaking rather forcefully)
Panel 5:
Randou: (These little shits saw me that way, huh?)
Page 39
Panel 1:
Randou: Shit... those bastards make me sick to my stomach. They got what they deserved for fucking with me like that...
(a little more literally, "don't fuck with me like that". But this makes a little more sense in context)
Panel 2:
Sign: Staff office
Staff: A picture of Randou? I don't think we have one of those.
Panel 3:
Yuna: What do you mean? You should have one, like from an event, or a class picture...I really need it!
Panel 4:
Staff: Him? Events? He skipped every one of them.
(next to his head, "What a troublesome student")
He skipped field trips, too, going off to other schools and fooling around.
Panel 5:
Randou: (That's right... I don't remember ever being there for a class picture)
Panel 6:
Staff: Hey, you're Kurimi, the second year student, right? Why aren't you in uniform?
(Well, actually, he asks him why he's in his own clothes, "shifuku" as opposed to "seifuku", the uniform)
Yuna: Uh...
Panel 7:
Yuna: Sorry for intruding!
("Shitsurei shimasu", something you learn very early in Japanese classes, is literally "I am going to do a rude thing", IE leave. It's a sort of generically polite goodbye)
Staff: Hey, wait!
Page 40
Panel 2:
Randou: (Aww, shit... any traces of me have disappeared. There's no pictures of me anywhere.)
Panel 3:
Randou: (I'll have this face for the rest of my life?)
Panel 4:
Rina: Onee-chan, so this is where you-
Panel 7:
Yuna: a... aha...
Page 41
Panel 1:
Rina: Onee-chan...
Panel 3:
Randou: So this is the only place I can go home to after all...
Panel 4:
Randou: But...
Panel 5:
Randou: (There's not even one picture of me left... Did I really have no friends?)
Panel 6:
Randou: (I want to do it all over again...)
Page 42
Panel 1:
Rina: Onee-chan...
Panel 2:
Yuna: Rina... chan...
Panel 3:
Rina: So... how was school today?
Yuna: Hahaha, it was pretty fun... yeah...
Panel 4:
Rina: Yeah?
Yuna: Yeah.
Panel 5:
Rina: Um... you know... onee-chan? I mean...
Panel 7:
Rina: Do you know a person named Randou Masashi?
Page 43
Panel 1:
Yuna: Wh...who's that? I don't know anyone like that!
Randou: (Wh...why in the...)
Rina: Don't try to cover it up!
Panel 2:
Rina: Today at school, you were looking for a picture of him, weren't you?
Panel 3:
Randou: (I... I've been caught? It can't be! She knows I'm Randou? No way!)
Panel 4:
Rina: Then you definitely heard that he's dead...
Panel 5:
Randou: (She doesn't know what I really am...)
Panel 6:
Yuna: Uh... well, he was an acquaintance of mine, and I was wondering what he looked like...
Panel 7:
Rina: Did you... like him?
Page 44
Panel 1:
Yuna: Like him?!
Rina: Because Onee-chan, you were acting weird today.
Panel 2:
Yuna: Well, uh, he was nice, and, uh... a pure-hearted man...
Randou: (Am I trying to market myself or something?)
Yuna: But like? I didn't...
Panel 5:
Randou: (A PICTURE OF ME!)
Rina: Here, take it.
(more like "Here, I'll give this to you", but that just sounds weird in English)
Page 45
Panel 1:
Yuna: Wh... where did you get this?
Panel 2:
Rina: I've had it with me... always.
Panel 3:
Rina: So I wouldn't ever forget senpai...
Panel 4:
Randou: (Huh? What? What's that supposed to mean?)
Rina: But since you want it, I'll give it to you.
Panel 5:
Rina: I liked Randou-senpai.
(You could make a strong case for me translating this as "loved")
Page 46
Panel 1:
Rina echo: (I liked him... I liked him... I liked him...)
Panel 2:
Randou: (She's lying... no, seriously? Really?)
Panel 3:
Rina: And I hope it's not just my imagination... I think he had feelings for me, too.
Panel 4:
Rina: Because sometimes, I'd catch him looking at me
Panel 5:
Yuna: Why didn't you say anything!? If you had, he would've-
Panel 6:
Rina: I couldn't do anything like that.
Page 47
Panel 1:
Rina: Because... you weren't here.
Panels 2, 3:
Rina: You were missing, and I didn't know if you were okay. I couldn't do anything on my own... it's just not right for me to be happy by myself.
Panel 4:
Kurimi-papa echo: more than anything else, she's been praying for your safety.
Panel 5:
Rina: But I guess it can't all turn out well... even though you've finally come back, this time Randou-senpai isn't around anymore.
(yep, Rina can't bring herself to say he's dead. He "isn't on this world". DBZ, anyone?)
Page 48
Panel 1:
Rina: But it's all right... as long as you're here, onee-chan, I'll be fine.
Panel 2:
Yuna: Rina...chan.
Panel 3:
Yuna: I'm not going anywhere!
Panel 4:
Yuna: Because I'll always be by your side! I won't go away!
Page 49
Panel 1:
Yuna: For your sake, Rina, I'll always be here with you
Panel 2:

Randou: (So until the day that the real Yuna comes home, I'm going to be your older sister, Rina)
Panel 2:
Manabe: Hmm? Sounds like a nice girl.
Panel 3:
Randou: Damn straight she is. She's the girl I fell for, you know. Man, that really got the waterworks going.

Panel 1:
Manabe: But this can't be your real face. It just doesn't do anything for me...
Randou: Give up on it, already!
(Hottoke is more like "leave me alone", but this works better to get the meaning across)
Panel 2:
Manabe: But you don't have any wish to go back to it, do you?
Panel 3:
Randou: I'm gonna go back. I'm going to find the real Kurimi Yuna, y'know.
Panel 4:
Randou: She's definitely alive somewhere. And I'm going to find her somehow, for Rina-chan's sake.
Panel 5:
Manabe: But I was just about to give you breast implants, and a lot of other fun things... I've been waiting a long time. C'mon, think about it, breast implants!
Randou: And you call yourself a doctor?!
Panel 6:
Randou: Anyway, when the time comes, you're going to give me back my face.

Panel 1:
Manabe: Hey, where are you going?
Randou: The school transfer exams start today.
Panel 2:
Randou: I'm going to go back to high school and try my hand being a student again. This time, with Rina-chan.
Panel 3:
Rina: Onee-chan
Panel 4:
Randou: (Well, I'm going to do it over again, but not as a man, as a female student...)
Rina: Where did you wander off to? We're going to be late!
Yuna: Sorry, sorry.
Panel 5:
Karate club: OSU! Yuna-san!
(Like many punks in manga (see: GTO), Kanou assigns random kanji to the word "osu" when they speak, which is normally just a generic martial arts greeting. The specific ones in this case are "push" and "suffer")

Panel 1:
Karate club: Please try hard on your transfer exams osu! And when you transfer in, by all means, please join our karate club!
Yuna-san, fightossu!
(if you played Final Fantasy X in Japanese, you may remember how Tidus didn't say "desu", he contracted it "ssu" and put it at the end of his sentences. This isn't that uncommon, and they do say "Faitossu")
Panel 3:
Randou: (even though I'm supposed to be a girl now... it looks like I'll be going down the same path after all)
Panel 4:
Manabe: Hmm, I forgot to say. The orthopedic surgery will cost him around 50 million yen... I wonder if he can pay that.
