It was enough of a surprise knowin’ that famous delinquent manga’s gettin’ a drama adaptation…

But that drama’s theme song is gonna have us and Jupiter sing it! Can’t believe it!

It’s also a huge surprise that they’re filming at Ouken. I didn’t think a connection like this could happen.

We’ve got confirmed for a campaign live to promote the drama too, so it’ll get busier from here on.

By the way, you talked about invitin’ Touma-san and the others over to Ouken, right?
Yeah. It looks like their main goal’s to learn more about what the original product was all about, by collectin’ data about the place we’re going.
They’re takin’ the time out to come to Ouken. I want them to learn about delinquents’n understand more.

Oh, I got a good idea! It’s like, how about we welcome ‘em in our own special way!

Ooh? I’m real interested. Could I hear some more about that idea?
…And so that’s how they’ll get to experience it for real, in the flesh! How’s that, Genbu!?
…Man. You really do always just go above and beyond what I imagine.

I’m in with your plan, partner. Looks like we gotta talk with the other bros and Banchou-san about this!

Oh, thanks for the support! You better look forward to the theme song, too!
Hey, my little angels. Ciao ☆ …Yeah. All of you are so full of energy.
Y’know how this feels? Ouken High’s a lot more peaceful than I thought it’d be~.

I thought it’d be fighting everywhere I looked, like the manga.

It’s not like they’d fight year-round just because this school’s got a lot of delinquents, man.

…Oh, you want a signature? Of course, that’s cool! Wait, hold on! Line up properly!

Haha. The students here are already full of energy, and they don’t even need to fight.
(Other students come to the door)
…Huh? Some scary-looking people have come in.

They look like third-year students. Could this be… that “raid” thing that people talk about?

You’re looking for Genbu!? You better not try to start something bad.
…Calm down, you two. It looks like we should stay quiet for this.

03[edit | hide]

Yo. Jupiter’s here. What’s the fuss?
If you got somethin’ to talk about, then we’ll freakin’ listen to you, senpai!

…Aah? The rival schools are looking down on us, what with all the idol or drama stuff?

You’re gonna mess up the first year kids… you say? Oh, I’ll show you who’s the boss around here!
(Suzaku and Genbu begin fighting with the students)
Whoa! Some kinda scuffle got started around here!?
We can’t leave them to fend for themselves! Let’s help out! Wait up, Suzaku! Genbu!
Let me go, Hokuto! Our friends are in trouble. I can’t keep quiet and just watch!
Fufu, calm down there. If you look more closely, you’ll understand. They’re fine.
…Wha? It looks like they’re grazing by each other with their fists and stopping short of actually hitting.
Nn… You’re right. So that means this fight is… Wait, it’s acting?
Sorry for spookin’ y’all and all that! But it got ya pumped, right?

That wasn’t a serious fight just now. It was a staged battle that we made to look like a fight!

This is our own personalized “welcome” that we thought up.

04[edit | hide]

The usual Ouken’s way too noisy in lots of ways. It ain’t something that Jupiter should see.
But delinquents go hand in hand with fights. So we decided to put on a show to hit you with all we got!
I see. You taught it to us so that we could understand the force behind what delinquents can do.
Yeah! We made a right’n proper script, and all of us practiced our staged battle!
It’s amazing that all of it was a play! I thought it was a real serious raid!
There’s no way an actual raid would ever happen. Not as long as I’m alive as the boss.
Genbu’s the same school year as me, but unlike that script from before…

The upperclassmen students all accept him as the boss. He’s a real awesome dude!

Same year… wait, Genbu, you’re a first year!? Since you’re 17 years old, I just assumed…
…Yeah, pretty much. Before I entered Ouken, I sorta went through a bunch of things.
I see… I’m sorry for asking about something weird.
Don’t worry ‘bout it. Right now, I’m just glad I’m in the same school year as my partner.
But that fight just now was awesome. It’s like I was thrown right into the world of the manga!
Let’s make use of this experience when we sing the theme song.
You’re right. Tell us more about lots of other things, guys. The senpai should join in, too!

* The Japanese school system generally works with 1st year ~ 16 years old, 2nd year ~ 17 years old, 3rd year ~ 18 years old. This is only a vague generalization, though, as students have varying factors that can prevent them from advancing, or like when they were born. examples: Jun is a 2nd year despite being 16 years old, but it’s because the storyline takes place before his birthday. Haruna is 18 years old despite being a 2nd year due to being held back twice. Genbu is 17 years old despite being a 1st year.

Even though they had work right after this, Touma and the others stayed until it was almost too late.
We sure got real fired up over our conversations, huh! Looks like the welcome party was a huge success!! I’m glad!
But Ouken sure has changed a lot. For the drama filming, plus having a welcome party to invite idols…

I guess that’s what you call feelin’ the jeopardy of changing times. It’s all stuff you wouldn’t have imagined existin’ in the past.

They haven’t gotten near as soft as jelly, but the reason why Ouken’s delinquents have changed is because of you, Genbu! Y’know!?
I said jeopardy, not jelly, dude… Anyways, these merits couldn’t have been achieved with just myself, partner.

Honestly though, Jupiter’s really what you’d expect of ‘em. They were able to win over all these delinquents so completely.

We’re gonna be standin’ with those same guys onstage during the live. We can’t lose to ‘em, since we’re the delinquents!

Those guys who follow me ‘round and call me Suzaku-san, plus all my classmates…

Everyone’s supportin’ us, sayin’ that they’ll be comin’ to see our live.

I’m gonna definitely make this live a success!! BUUUUUUURNIN’!!

As idols, Jupiter’s leagues ahead of us in seniority, but when it comes to years as delinquents, we take the win.

If we show off our real skills with all we got, we’re not gonna let them take that from us. We’re aimin’ for full speed ahead!

We’re Jupiter and Shinsoku Ikkon, who’ve been tasked with singing this drama’s theme song.

You’re gonna get fired up for us today, won’t you!

(The audience cheer)
Whoa~! The cheers this time are more full of dudes than usual~.
The lots of the angels who are fans of the original manga have come here, it seems.
(Huh…? Huddled up over there are… the high school delinquents from Ouken!

They really did come. All right, we’ll make it the hottest live they’ve ever seen, so they better watch…!)

To all our little angels, we’ll make today’s live a fierce one. Better prepare yourselves ☆
Hehe! Judging by your powerful cheers, I guess you’re expecting great things!
We’re gonna make it a serious all-out match today! Okay, first up, let’s do the first song!
Jupiter Music start! Nice to beat ya!! *

* Jupiter uses the ateji reading of kanji to pronounce “yoroshiku” (usually translated as “It’s nice to meet you,” or “Please take care of me”). It makes use of how the letters themselves are pronounced while not actually using what it means. More information here.

You done with the warm-up exercises? I didn’t say I’d let y’all slack off, dammit!

(The dudes from Ouken are all grouped up over there. Jeez. They sure are some delinquents with a strong sense of duty. We can’t show ‘em something shameful. Looks like we gotta throw down the gauntlet and put some energy into things!)

(Genbu! Let’s show Jupiter that Shinsoku Ikkon ain’t losin’ to Jupiter!)
(Partner’s eyes… You’re right. Let’s fire things up more’n more!)
You guys ain’t tellin’ us that you’re out of breath already, aren’t ya?
Looks like we have give some energy to you if you’re slackin’. Ain’t I right, Suzaku!
Yeah! Let’s do it, Genbu… Let’s go!
This is Shinsoku Ikkon’s full-body, full-spirit…
Direct glare!!
(The audience cheer)
Havin’ eagle eyes… We’re lookin’ at all of you, whether you’re here or at the very edge of the audience! We see all your faces!

Listen up. Don’t be spooked by somethin’ like this. We’re gonna keep blastin’ through this!

(So this is the power of delinquents… Suzaku, Genbu… That really was an awesome live…!)
It looks like Touma’s still overwhelmed with emotion… But everyone, good work today.
Good work~! Anyway, I got more tired than usual this time.

The venue’s level of being fired up was completely different. Maybe it’s because we asked them to give us some powerful cheers or something?

We also ran around on the stage with all we had, didn’t we?
…Oh, yeah. Do you guys have time after this? I wanted to drop by a bookshop on my way back.
I do. What’ll you buy, Touma?
Delinquent manga! The guys from Ouken High told me about the manga that they’d recommend.
What sorta manga is it? Bring it to the office when you buy it! I’ll read it too.
It’s like, a delinquent hero shows up or something… I’ll lend it to you when I’m done reading it.

(I thought delinquents and stuff were completely worlds apart from us… But learning about it through this one storyline shows that this living style’s pretty cool too…!)
