WAVE!! Surfing Yappe!! (WAVE!!～サーフィンやっぺ!!～)

You can do it!

Heading into the world competition, someone will be chosen to add their strength to the team!

Who will it be?

Burning hotter and more blindingly than the sun...

Go and shine even brighter!

Great!

He's grabbed the slimmest of chances!

What concentration.

Miyazaki's bucking bronco. Such magnificent dynamism!

The Wizard of the Waifu Board.

A quick pan and he nails his Perforation Attack!

I don't understand the name he created for this move,

but it is truly excellent!

A freewheeling, science-type guy...

Is his riding based on instinct, or calculation?

Aloha oe!

He's been riding a board for as long as he can remember...

A born surfer!

With those discerning eyes, what does he see beyond the waves?

Justice!

His playboy era has ended.

In his new era, he's a man's man.

Plunging straight forward with simple honesty...

His hot blood is burning.

He said this...

"I'm not short on cash!"

"But no matter how much money I save up, there are things I can't buy!"

"Waves and the feeling of being one with them!"

Right now, he is one with the waves!

Masaki Fight

Go for it!! Japan

You can do it, Big Brother!

You got this! Go!

Go for it!! Japan, Represent

Watch me, Sho!

Take off!

Amazing!

Let's Go Surfing!!

Isokichi! Morning!

It's a race to Sun Beach! Let's go, Isokichi!

You're too slow! Try to catch me!

Hup!

Huh? What's wrong?

That day...

That morning... when I saw him flying across the sea,

that's when my fate was decided.

The sight of him riding the waves,

no matter how much time passed, it never faded from my heart.

It's like it would come in close, then retreat... just like the waves.

You're really tanned.

It was Guam!

You're lucky. I only went to Izu.

Aw, man... Second term, huh?

Any chances for romantic adventures are over.

Studying for entrance exams is the main event now.

It's so depressing...

Morning!

'Sup?

Good morning, Masaki.

Morning, Corgi.

Hey, Tanaka, there was a surfer I've never seen before at Sun Beach...

Listen to me!

At Sun Beach, there was a—

For crying out loud. This bum.

Good morning, everyone!

Good morning!

Did you all have fun over summer break?

Now, this is sudden, but I'm going to introduce a transfer student.

What? A transfer student?

What could this be?

A transfer student?

At this point in the year?

It's a surprise.

Akitsuki-kun! Come in.

Yes, sir.

I'm Akitsuki Sho. Nice to meet you.

Now, for our second-years,

the way you spend your remaining time here

Surfer?

will be important as you look to moving up into high school.

I saw him at Sun Beach.

He was super for real.

Time flies like an arrow. The young soon grow old, but learning is difficult.

For real?

I mean... He was seriously good.

You never want to regret, wishing you'd done something differently.

Really...

"The show must go on."

A literal translation of this would be, "the show cannot stop,"

but it is also used to mean, "we can't give up."

We can't give up...

They say the Prince came here from Hayama!

I wonder why he transferred in at this time of year.

He's so mysterious!

Is Hayama in Tokyo?

Kanagawa, right?

Is Kanagawa... in Tokyo?

Hey! Tanaka!

Hey, Sho! Let's ride some waves!

The show must go on!

Stop that!

"The show must go on" is a nice phrase, isn't it?

We met at the beach, right?

Y-Yeah...

I'm Masaki.

Hinaoka Masaki.

I'm a second-year at the Oarai Minami Middle School, and I'm 14 years old.

You don't have to say you're a second-year. We're all in the same class.

Oh, right.

I'm—

He's Tanaka Nalu!

Nice to meet you.

He's a surfer, too!

Really?

I've only just moved here, so I don't know much yet.

Will you show me the surf shops in this town?

That's an easy—

That's an easy request!

We'll show you. This way!

Does he seem a little excited to you?

Hurry up!

Let's go! To Fantasy Island!

For some reason, it looked completely different

from how it had looked until now.

For some reason, my heart trembled.

For some reason, everything shone brightly.

Welcome!

Oh, h-hello!

Oh, Miss Shoko! You're the most beautiful woman I've ever met!

Yes, yes. Your pronunciation has improved a little, hasn't it?

It's because I'm practicing.

Very admirable.

And this is rare. To think Masaki-kun would come here.

What curious turn of events has blown you in here?

Is it because we've got a good wind today?

Huh? What's this?

Nice to meet you. I'm Akitsuki Sho.

He's a transfer student! And an amazing surfer!

I'm Shoko! Nice to meet you!

Thank you. I've only just come to Oarai,

so I hope you'll teach me about the waves and other things.

Leave it to me!

You introduced me to this place, but you don't come very often?

It's because I don't surf.

Masaki can't swim, that's why...

He's never thought about taking up surfing.

Masaki can only doggy paddle...

And from his doggy paddle came his nickname...

That nickname is... Corgi!

Really? I see.

Murphy! You bum!

What's wrong with it?

Huh?

Your nickname. It suits you. "Corgi."

D-Does it?

Well, I'm going to go home, then head out to Sun Beach.

I might do that, too.

The waves are good today.
