Josei Danshi chapter 1

This manga is translated per request from a friend of mine. For convenience, I decided to post my translation here instead of having my scanlation group edit and typeset it because it'd take too long to do all the shit as my group don't have enough manpower to do multiple projects at once. You are free to use my translations however you want. I don't care if you credit me or not, as long as you don't credit someone else as the translator while using my translations. The raw is taken directly from Square Enix's main site, so it is at max quality and doesn't require any cleaning. Redrawing, typesetting and proofreading will be needed, though, if you want to make something decent. Don't worry much about the speed, since the manga is biweekly and completely within my translation capability. For now enjoy the first chapter of this new trap manga. It doesn't look very good at first, but hopefully it'll get better in later chapters.

P2B1: Heh, Nipo nipo douga? But isn't it difficult when it comes to the Internet?
P2B2: Like she lives in Hokkaido...

P3B1: No prob! No matter how difficult it is, I'll overcome it!! For the sake of getting this voice!!
P3B2+B3: All fired up aren't you? Did you mail her?
P3B4: Already sent one!! Now waiting for reply!

P4B1: After all, I feel a limit with just the three of us...
P4B2: I can't do vocal at all.

P5B1: By all means, in order to complete our "Sora" band,
P5B2: we need a vocalist with a nice voice!!

TL Note: Sora means "Sky". And no, this isn't another "according to keikaku" thingy. This is a name.

P2B2: Step ahead and sing when you're called, okay?

P3B1: Holy shit! Can't believe we still have singing tests in high school.
P3B2: Err...
P3B3: Whoa, I really shouldn't have selected music.

P4B1: We'll start from you, okay?
P4B2: Y-Yes ma'am!

P5B2: Listening like this really is making me feel how incredible that girl on the Internet was...

P1B1: I've also tried vocal, but I just couldn't do any good...
P2B1: Next, Shibata-kun.
P3B2: Shibata-kun?

P4B2: Hey, isn't "Pochi" the next one?!
P4B3: Whoa!! Sounds exciting!

P5B1: Pochi...?
P5B2: Have you ever heard Pochi's voice?!
P5B3: Nah! Never!!
P5B4: Apparently he hasn't spoken even once since he entered school, you see.
P5B5: That must be it, right? He listens to anything you tell him to like a dog, so he's called "Pochi", isn't he?
P5 SFX: Kyah (x2)

P6 SFX: Clatter

P2B1: How's he now?!
P2B2: Is he safe?!
P2B3: E-Everyone! Back to your seat!!

P3B1: What's wrong with him...?
P3B2: Not wanting to sing so badly that he had to jump out of the window...
P3B3: I can't believe it. Just how much does he hate music anyway?

P4B1: Never mind, this means the class is now suspended.
P4B2: Come to think of it, I wonder if she has replied...

P2B2: She didn't have to be so angry...
P2B3: See?

P4B1: Sigh... If only I had gone to an all-girl high school...
P4B2: But private schools are expensive...
P4 SFX: Grunt (x2)
P4B3: And I can't be such a burden for that person...

P5B1: Hm?
-----------------
Page 23

P2B1: No way...!!
P2B2: This voice is... the voice of that girl on the Internet!!
