Surprised Shizuka asks, “Captain? Me? It isn’t..? *huge eyes
looking at Kira* Vice captain?” Kira says it’s captain and because of that, his
eyes are about to pop out. “By the way, a person like you definitely became the
club’s head when you’re in elementary, right? You’re really showing the most
interesting expression that I have ever seen.”
Still looking surprised, after a pause, Shizuka admits that
he have not. Narration: “And that was three days ago before the competition.”
Walking at the stadium’s hallway, Shizuka is still in a daze. “‘Captain’,
honestly speaking, I totally didn’t considered it.. When there’s no training, I
feel that there’s no one who worked hard twice as much as I did...
...I’m always thinking that it is for my contribution for
the team’s victory. -But 'captain', me? Shouldn’t the so-called commander be
more..commanding and popular.. a more charismatic leader..” Then, he is
surprised when Yuki suddenly appears in front of him and calls out his name.
Shizuka screams in shock which made Yuki muse that is quite
a nostalgic reaction [from Shizuka]. Shizuka exclaims how come Yuki is here.
Yuki asks why she is here, didn’t he ask her to come...come to the Winter Cup.
At the audience benches, Shou pats his lap and calls out to Yuki that his side
and lap are free [/empty for her to sit on]. Ignoring that, Yuki just greets
back.
Sitting beside Shou, Abe greets out to Yuki. Yuki says that
everyone came. Abe says yes, they would at least watch the first day when
Mizusu will play. While taking her seat, Yuki thinks that if he’s coming, he
could at least contact her so why he is hiding it from her, is his head making
some wild speculations..?
Pfft! Shou says the game is starting. Shizuka has the ball. Audience
is cheering for Mizusu and Shizuka. Kira passes the ball to Shizuka. He shoots
and scores. Audience cheers as his teammates shout that they do that one again.
While playing, Shizuka is actually distracted. He recalls protesting to Kira
that there are a lot more qualified people than him so why him..
Kira smiled and said yes, indeed, and Shizuka just reflect
about that question by himself.. End flashback. Shizuka thinks that it is no
good, right now, compared to that issue, he must concentrate on the game for
this is a totally important game since that person is watching him. <-
referring to Yuki.
Soon, it is game over. Mizusu wins 73 points vs the opponent
at 68. Abe complains over how easy for Mizusu to breakthrough this game.
They’re so strong that it infuriates him. Himiko says that they won’t be able
to watch the game tomorrow because of practice.
Shou looks serious and quiet. He suddenly stands up and says
that he’ll go out in a while. Yuki asks where he is going. To her shock, he
says that he is going to look for Shizuka. Yuki tells him to wait, why would he
go.. At the locker room, someone throws a bottled water on Shizuka’s head.
Holding the bottle, he turns around to see Shou saying that is for him, though
he drank the rest [of it].
Shizuka refuses for this [bottled water] is basically trash.
Yuki shouts for Shou to quickly stop. She thinks that Shou is once again doing
some unnecessary provocation. Shou says about this competition just now..
Shizuka asks what.. Shou asks if he is a bit naïve for doesn’t it feel that his
actions are a bit clumsy.
This surprises Yuki that she starts to think that indeed
Shizuka doesn’t have the vigor he had during the preliminaries. Shizuka’s
actions are indeed a bit odd earlier. Shizuka denies it and says that even if
they didn’t specially come to tell him that, he’ll also properly adjust before
tomorrow’s game.
Shou says that he forgot to tell him something. “I already
became the captain.” Surprised and aghast Shizuka shouts, “Who!?” Shou says,
“Me.” Shizuka shouts, “Becoming what!? Ryuhoku has just gone through a really
big risk..!!!” While Yuki is ‘no comment’, Shou says, it’s captain and by the
way, Shizuka unexpectedly didn’t become captain?
Shizuka says, “...! ..I.. I..” Shou says that he won’t be a
captain, what, then they are basically not rivals..ha..so..boring--- This
made popped veins appearing on Shizuka’s face and hands. He clenches his fist
and thinks, “..who..who said, ‘I’m not going to become captain’.”
Shizuka calls out to Yuki who exclaims, yes!! He asks if she
can help pump him up. Yuki is puzzled. Shizuka says that it is the vicious slap
[on the back] that she did during the preliminaries. Yuki asks eh, that!!? He
asks her to please do it since he won’t continue this kind of situation
tomorrow..
Then, Shizuka snaps out of it. Putting the towel over his
head, Shizuka wonders why he is asking that of her when she is the former
manager of another school and even Shou’s.. Turning around, he says no..it’s
nothing at all, sorry.. Then, Yuki calls out to him.
He looks back to see Yuki holding up her hand. She says, as
a student of Ryuhoku, she also doesn’t want to see Mizusu lose.. Shizuka
thinks, yes..I..I-- Yuki says then, she’ll be a bit gentle, okay. He says okay.
Just when Yuki slaps Shizuka’s back, Shou also hits Shizuka’s back really hard.
Holding his back, Shizuka shouts at him over what he is
doing, that’s quite strong.. Shou claims that it is more effective if it is
strong. Shizuka angrily shouts, why you!! Flashback: Young Shou asked moping
Shizuka in class if he’s going to quit the club. Shizuka said yes.. Shou asked
if it is because it became boring.
Shizuka said that it isn’t that at all..rather, it is like
this game earlier, because his shooting is slanted that it caused them to lose.
“No matter how hard I practice..there is totally no improvement at all..” Shou
turned around and said isn’t that’s nonsense.
Shizuka angrily stood up and shouted what he means by that. Shou
said that because his level is bad that he’ll just noisily say wanting to give
up, so how can he possibly improve? “If you want to give up, then quickly give
it up.” This shocks Shizuka. So, at night, Shizuka starts to practice. He shot
the ball and it bounced on the ring. He lost his footing and fell flat on his
face. He went to the bench to drink some water for his throat is so dry..
Shaking his thermos, he realized that it is already empty.
Then, he noticed another thermos at the side with a note, ‘For you. (I drank
the rest).’ It made Shizuka teary-eyed as he recalled what Shou told him
earlier about noisily saying want to give up because his level is bad so how
can he possibly improve. End flashback.
Narration: “The first time when I almost give up, he was the
one who kicked me on the back with his foot. How frustrating. Really hate him
but.. –yes, starting from that day on, I’ve always just look ahead.” The next
day, at the locker room, the coach tells everyone that they had perspired a lot
and even if today’s opponent is quite terrifying but they should remain calm.
Everyone shouts, yes. In the court, Shizuka looks at the
benches and thinks that she [/they] didn’t come today but then, she is a high
schooler so she doesn’t have no free time to watch the game. “How come I’ll be
made the captain. ..if I don’t go try it, then no matter how I thought about this
kind of thing, I won’t know.”
He jumps and shoots the ball. It is in. Then, the opponent
steals the ball from him. “Today, and also the future, the thing that I can do
is just look onwards--” The score is now 87-83 with the opponent winning. Yet,
there is still three minutes left. The coach comments that it is almost but
they always couldn’t catch up.
Someone says that it will be bad if at this time, they don’t
immediately grasp the rhythm again. Someone curses the discrepancy of points.
While spraying his knee with a pain reliever, Shizuka asks what they are saying
for didn’t this kind of situation already happened so many times already. “..this
small setback is basically superficial..”
The others are surprised for he was obviously putting a lot
into the game. Kira quietly smiles then says that this fellow is really an
idiot. This shocks Shizuka. Kira says that he always thinks that since the time
Shizuka entered the club.
Flashback: In summer, Kira asked if Shizuka considered it is
his goal to become an official member during first year high school. Shizuka
said yes. Kira asked if that is why he practices by himself during vacations.
Shizuka said yes. To Shizuka’s shock, Kira said that he’s really an idiot for
Mizusu is not like his junior high before.
He obviously have the strength but there are a good number
of third years who don’t have anything to do no matter how hard they tried, and
just got sidelined-- The first and second years would have to wait until next
year. Shizuka said but if he always think that way, no matter if it is next
year or the year after that, the opportunity won’t come. Kira looked at him.
End flashback.
Kira says, “One-track mind, stubborn, refusing to lose, you
have one-fold perseverance compared to the others-- *pats Shizuka’s shoulder*
This kind of idiot can definitely make Mizusu become stronger.” Shizuka looks
surprised. Pfft- The game starts again.
Narration: “Beside me, there are mature teammates who always
watch over me. *Kira and others cheering/teasing Shizuka* There is also the guy
who always pay attention to me. *Shou’s thermos on the bench*” Everyone cheers
on as the game becomes intense with the opponent lead with 95 vs 91 points.
There is one minute left! Then, Shizuka hears Yuki cheering for him.
Narration: “There is also the person whom I wish to always
pay attention to me. ..ah, yes. Whether it is teammates, Shou or even that
person, it’s all the same. *Shizuka jumps and does a slam dunk* They are the
road signs [guides] that made me become stronger.” And, the opponent wins with
102 vs 100.
While walking out of the stadium, Yuki says that it’s really
too bad that Misuzu lost and by the way, it is already past 11am and right now,
there is still time to catch up on afternoon training. She tells Shou that
obviously, it wasn’t necessary for him to come and watch with her..
Shou says no, it is a bit baffling if she were to cheer for
Shizuka alone. While keeping her basketball notebook, Yuki says no, rather than
cheering for him..ah.. Shou asks what. She says that it seems that she left her
pen at the bench so he can go back first. Shou calls out that she is always
forgetful.
Then, a bottled water hits Shou’s head. Shou looks up to see
that it is Shizuka who says, what, he also came. Flipping the bottled water,
Shou says ya, anyway, he is very idle in the morning and his girlfriend wanted
to come. Looking away, Shizuka tells him to quickly get lost. “..ah, there is
also something I forgot to say.. I’m also going to become captain.”
Shou says ‘eh’ that made Shizuka angrily shout if he won’t say
something a bit different and he really infuriates him. Shou says, “..then,
finally, I can compete with you. Let’s see whose team can advance first to the
Nationals.”
After a pause, Shizuka replies, “..are you an idiot? *smiles*
Mizusu and Ryuhoku are basically not on the same level.” Shou frowns over this
and throws back the bottled water. Shizuka angrily shouts that hurts. Narration:
“Like that, starting here, continuing on towards a higher goal. Constantly
struggling, we welcome a whole new season.”
Comment: Obviously
this is Shizuka’s chapter. The Winter Cup turns out to be just reinforcing the
sports rivalry of the two rather than anything related to Yuki in any romantic
way. Though, of course, they’ll try to outdo each other because of Yuki.
Shizuka find his way back to his first love and he is acting
more himself in this chapter. Also, in this chapter, he once again reminds me of SD’s Hanamichi minus
the self-confidence. And, their bickering is like Hanamichi and Rukawa, Naruto
and Sasuke, and whatever other shounen series there is that has ‘friends’ yet
rivals.
Just like how Shizuka reached this point, there are many
factors that finally led him to take the challenge of becoming the captain. I
think that will help him mature a lot just like it had been with Shou. And, he
seems quite confident at the end of the chapter. Scans by 红莲汉化组

hallo Kat, thank for this summary ^^
ReplyDeleteSo this is about Shizuka and then The Winter Cup turns out to be just reinforcing the sports rivalry of the two rather than anything related to Yuki in any romantic way.And I can't wait the next chapter, chapter 47 ><
Unfortunately, I can't get information when the next chapter has already out :( oh, Kat if you have information when chapter 47 already out, please tell me ^^
Kat there are link about Namaikizakari chapter 46 side story, this is Yuki view, Shizuka View and Sho View can you try to translate this from chinese scanlation, please if you have time, I so wonder about they think hehehe
http://m.dmzj.com/view/13376/53927.html
Thanks kat !!!
Deletechapter 47 will be release on 5 July 2016
Thanks for reading, candra ^-^
DeleteYup.
As Anonymous wrote below, it will come out on that date.
Probably not. It basically has no story at all and better enjoyed in scanlation form.
To give you an idea, Sho view is asking if Yuki is angry for trying to forcefully kiss her at the club room. She denies it then start talking about why he sleeps at the clubroom and warns him not to make that his bedroom. But he is just reading and writing a message to Abe on the phone. Abe thinks some girl likes him and Shou sent him an emoticon of nose picking.
While she reprimands him for not listening and looking at her, he is playing with a cat. Already angry over that, Yuki keeps on reprimanding him until Shou got too close to her liking. She tries to leave and warn him not to do that kind of thing, just quickly go home. He glomps her. She shouts for him to let go but he won't.
Shizuka view: A guy shows Shizuka some sexy girl magazine and asks which one is his type. Shizuka chokes on his drink. Guy asks if it is true about the rumor that he is going steady with Kira. Shizuka said he never heard of that. Guy asks for his type. He says ordinary not overly gaudy, etc. He is obviously describing Yuki.
The guy shows him a picture of his description if it is like that. Shizuka protested then imaged the picture of the girl as Yuki. Then he punched himself which freaked out the other guy.
Yuki's view: Yuki is recapping on her mind regarding the things that she has to do. Upon going in the clubroom, she finds Shou sound asleep inside. She tries to wake him up. She decides not to because he'll be annoying if she wakes him up now so she'll just let him sleep until she is finished with her work.
She couldn't concentrate and starts to observe sleeping Shou. He suddenly grabs her and asks if she wanted to kiss him. She protest but he starts to suck on her fingers. She shouts someone is coming. He says, 'so'. She starts to say wait..struggle, etc.. and go back to page 1 for the aftermath of this part -> shou's view.
That's it.
oh Thank you so much Kat!!! ^__^ Wow you really great and fast to translate from Chinese scanlation hehehe >.<
DeleteNow I understand what about Yuki, Sho and Shizuka think or their each view, hahaha is so funny and especially when Shou stars to suck Yuki's finger, but that's Naruse Shou, Always pushy and a bit pervert ^~^

ReplyDeleteNot yet available. Still waiting for the Chinese scanlation.
DeleteI think it already has chapter 47
ReplyDeleteYes, it is out in Japan or if you buy the magazines. My summaries are based on the Chinese scanlations. No Chinese scanlations = no summaries.
DeleteYeah! 'Winter Cup' Arc's coming soon baby! After that maybe 5 or 6 chapters more? What do you think Kat? Btw aren't chinese sclans out yet? :-/. Thanks for the chapter update though.
ReplyDeleteToby :D
Ah, Toby, I think it is over. It is just this one chapter since Shou and others didn't got in the Winter Cup.
DeleteNope, they aren't out yet.
You're welcome ^^
They didnt? O.o ? Guess i forgot/missed that part.
DeleteYup, they didn't. They lost against Shizuka's team in the preliminaries.
DeleteIts out! In chinese scanalature! ITS OUT!! *.*
ReplyDeleteYup, it's out ^^ Currently working on it.
DeleteKat, you didn't mentioned what shou told shizuka That he will be the captain on purpose to encourage him to be the captain too (since he noticed that shizuka is troubled ..) right?
ReplyDeleteI love how shou always help him, even that shizuka is bad towards him ,
since shou don't show his kindness and cover it with jokes & bolds .. ppl think he's carless (of ppl..)
*LIKE About the scene when they were children ,when shou gived that bottle to shizuka and said that's what left of my bottle I almost teard up /// , and then do the same thing now.. ah god ..
_(he purposely said that's what left of my bottle to hide his kindness .. he want to be shown as a bad guy to others ! OR doesn't matter to him what ppl think of him)
..I really love that kind of ppl/guys ..
*As well when he was frinedly and cheer up shizuka (when they were kids) .. even that the others always scolded him ..
_I wonder shizuka forgot about all their beautiful moments and remembering only one bad ?? (Yes that's ppl we stick only in the negative side .. right?)
I want you to discuss that with me (although I know Im late hh) ..I'm the only one in my home reading mangas so I don't have any one to share my thoughts with .. I want answer me..
Thanks
Is that so, meme hope. I thought it was just to annoy Shizuka like he usually does =P
DeleteI don't know...they aren't exactly in bad terms. For me, they are like bickering kids who are kind of rivals in basketball and partially romance though Yuki was totally clueless about it. ^^;
Those two guys' antics are pretty much like the interaction of the two lead guys in Slam Dunk which I believe the mangaka has taken inspiration for the basketball side of the story.
Hm...perhaps, it also depends on the current mood. If you are feeling negative/down, won't you have negative thoughts and think of those bad memories? Thinking about it, Shizuka was fixed on that and it was his drive to reach where he is right now.
In a way, I sometimes feel that he is 'taunting' Shou to help Shou, too. Whether that was the intent or not, Shou eventually got motivated to like basketball because of it. Basically, they are motivating each other through their rivalry. Again, if you watched/read Slam Dunk, you'll know what I mean.
^^
DeleteNo , im sure shou told him (in a way) to make him accept the captain request and for energy him , bcuz he noticed that shizuka wasn't him self (not play good in the match ) , but in a bothering/provikking way bcuz that's shou .
Yes.
Ya you're right they are like that ..
Ya.. I love slam dunk .. I know they don't hate each other ..
Honestly i like their relationship ,shou/shizuka ..it's my fav ..lol , that care/love unshown's relation ..hhh , what about u kat ?
I always want to ask u that , u always mentioned it's like slam dunk, is there's any official announcement or sigh from miyuki Sensei that's she takes inspiration or something like that from slum dunk ?
Oh basketball is my fav sport , bcuz that Im enjoying this manga more 😆😆
Thanks^^
True, in a way, it is both...provoke/bother but in a way, it is to help him.
DeleteHm..it's okay. In a way, it is a somewhat complicated relationship =P For me, it is a bit hard to, I don't know figure out how should I view it. Are they 'bickering kids' so that's suppose to be funny or should I take them seriously as 'love rivals'.
There is no official announcement --not that I have read but the similarities of scenes and characters is a bit obvious, don't you think so? The coach, the game play, that cheering seems inspired from Shoyo, when she drew the ears kind of popping out when Yuki was eavesdropping, the pinching cheek scene, etc.
Oh, I see. Hehe, I actually don't like sports. ^^; I was hesitant at first to summarize this series because of that =P
=)
Yep^^.
DeleteYes, you're somehow/exactly right about their relationship,^^
Yes Maybe, there's also the Name of the team/school "Shohoku, Ryohoku" ,And their Jersey color "red, White" ..
Oh , it's good you summarize it or else .. 😔
^_^ .
Yup ^^ And that thing about going to a shoe store to buy rubber shoes =P
Delete=)
That's right, lol
Delete^^
Yup ^^
