Isn't that Tornado Makio?
Tornado.. from the Kantou Sharp Fang?
Yea.. In gambling and fighting, he'll win it all and take everything.
Rouge 27.
Nice, Aniki!
Yea, it's me.
Master I'm so sorry to interrupt at such a busy time.
It's time for homework.
Wha?
But I'm winning so much..
You have to learn 15 "M" words by tomorrow.
My name is Sakaki Makio.
I've been a bad kid ever since I was little.
And I was called "Shorty Young Master" at 6 years old.
At 10, I was called "The Razor Mark."
At 15, I was named to succeed the Kantou Sharp Fang.
When I was 19...
I beat down a group that was gaining power in Chiba, which is in the Kantou area...
Called the "Reckless Tiger Masa" all by myself.
From that day on...
I was called Tornado.
And now, at 27...
Melon.
I'm hiding my Yakuza appearance...
And disguising my age to 17.
And being a high school student.
Right, right, right.. splendid!
- Master. - Yea?
Your addition and subtraction of fractions is perfect.
I've grasped the heart of fractions.
Heart of fractions?
Yea, Kazu...
Should I tell you?
Please.
Fractions are made of mother and its child.
Denominator is the mother. Numerator is the child.
Which means, the mother is carrying the child over a line.
That's how it is.
But as you keep adding, the child gets too big..
And the mother can't carry the child anymore.
So the child becomes as big as his mother.
The mother kicks him out realizing him as an adult.
It's a ceremony about separation from each other.
You know how lions kick their cubs off a cliff?
It's the same thing.
It must've been pretty rough.. for that mother too...
It's a good story.
Me too. I'll be recognized as '1.'
And I'll graduate from high school and be Boss.
Right.
Kazu, what are you reading?
For Aniki's sake I thought I would study the teen's mind.
This month is the Horoscope Edition.
Dummy, Yakuza shouldn't be reading fucking horoscopes dammit.
I'm sorry.
So what does it say about Scorpio?
Um.. Scorpio is..
Having a small pink object makes your Love Factor go up.
- Love? - Love!
And.. "You might find a wonderful person."
Pink stuff.. Pink...
Do you want me to go get one for you?
Your greatest enemy will appear?
Greatest enemy?
It says "Your greatest enemy will appear wearing red."
Red?
That's interesting.
I'm a man who has never lost in my life.
If he's coming then bring it on!
That's my Aniki!
So cool.
That's right.
Anywhere in this world..
There is nothing I fear!
Lend me money.
Oh, sure.
Here.
Thank you!
Damn kid, after I graduate I'm gonna freakin' kill you.
Good morning, Sakaki-kun.
Oh, good morning.
Um.. maybe I'm being nosy but..
Everyone's wearing their summer clothes.
Su.. summer clothes?
Don't you feel hot in here?
His face is kind of too much too.
Are you Ok? You're sweating a lot.
I'm fine.
They're at it again..
He can't help it.
He just transferred here.
Good morning, Makky.
Good morning.
Why don't you take that off?
Oh...right.
- Good morning! - Good morning!
Sakurakoji seems a bit different somehow, doesn't he?
Jun does?
Red..
Red?
My greatest enemy?
What?
Nothing...
No way.. A kid like that?
The final exam schedule's finished, so I'll be passing them out.
Fi.. final exam?
"First Semester Final Exam."
I think you already know, but...
Falling below 30 points in each subject requires a makeup exam. Those who don't pass the makeup will flunk.
Flunk?
Right, it means you can't graduate.
Can't graduate?!
Sakaki-kun..
I'm sorry.
"Below 30 and you'll receive red marks."
Red...
I see..
My greatest enemy...
Is it this?
My Boss My Hero
Translators: Knark52nd and Dolis Timings from Tianj Raws from gryzze
. Episode 3: The Young Master * Burning at the Test?!
I'm in a pinch. Episode 3: The Young Master * Burning at the Test?!
What's wrong, Master? Episode 3: The Young Master * Burning at the Test?!
I have final exams starting next week. Episode 3: The Young Master * Burning at the Test?!
- Final exams? - Yea.
At this rate I'm gonna flunk for sure.
Equations just look like some random symbols
English seems like some kind of chanting.
Japanese History and Literature are from so long ago I have no idea what they're talking about.
Cigarette? Oh, here you are.
Prepare some summer clothes for me.
I'm sorry.
- Kazu, come here. - Ok.
Going back to a place like that for another year isn't even funny.
Sakaki-san.
Oh, Yuuji.
Excellent work.
How's your place "Shinogi" doing?
It's doing Ok.
Actually.. Sakaki-san...
May.. may I?
Lately.. the Kumada Family has been prowling around.
Those Kumada bastards?
I think they want this territory.
I see. I'll come by your place again sometime.
- I'll have a cute girl waiting for you. - Tell them I said hello.
Those rotten Kumada bastards...
Umm..
This territory is our center.
- Umm.. - What, you damn bastard?!
Not good!
Students shouldn't try and act all cool!
Give me your money!
Wow, dangerous people are mugging a dangerous guy.
Awesome!!
Are you guys this 17 year old student's friends, too?
You wanna join him?!
- Master!!! - Aniki!!
You almost got caught!
Aniki are you Ok?
Do I look Ok, looking like this?
We're very sorry!
Dammit, this lifestyle's gonna do me in.
Yea, Aniki.
So you have to graduate fast.
Just focus on the test right now.
You're right.
My greatest enemy right now is this test.
Master.
I've brought a charismatic tutor.
70% of his students get into Tokyo University. Mr. Yamazaki Nobuo.
Hm..
Why don't you understand this?
Maybe.. your level is way too low.
This is.. This kind of.. This is the most basic of basics... If you don't even understand this...
- Master!! - Aniki!!
I'll fuckin' kill you!
Dammit..
If it's like this, I'll have to cheat.
- Let's go. - Ok.
Aniki!
Ouch!
Your sunglasses!
I can't see anything, dammit. Hold them.
That's the faculty room right there.
We're gonna steal the questions to the test from the safe.
I'll do it.
Wait up. I'll do it.
You stay here and keep watch.
You two, thank you for staying here so late.
- The Koushien tryouts are coming up soon. - You're right. (National High School Baseball Championships)
So what have YOU been doing here, Principal?
Well.. the test questions have been stolen before, right?
Oh..
So.. I'm patrolling around this time.
But after that happened, we agreed on writing the test on the day before..
So there wouldn't be anything to steal if someone snuck in.
Yes, you're right.
But I want to catch them in the act like real police do.
That's a nice idea. I'd want to grab those cowardly students by their necks.
Yea.
So what's in this safe then?
Oh! That bust of the Principal that was made last year.
But it doesn't resemble me plus it's embarrassing so I stored it in here.
I thought it resembled you.
No No.
- It really did look like you. - Really?
Sensei!
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Yes.. What is it?
It'll only take a second.
Well.. Here.
Keep it please.
I can't keep this!
No, please. I know everything about you.
You're single at this age.
And you live in a such a small and cheap apartment.
I think your mother back at the Kumamoto Prefecture is worried about you too.
It may not be much, I live a fulfilling life...
I told you to keep it!!!
You could be popular in hostess clubs..
Oh, about that test.. The final..
Makky?
No, I can't do it!
Besides, there's someone I like.
Someone he likes?
What were you doing?
Huh?
Don't use bribery.
Uh.. yea...
I can understand cheating but..
Bribery is for dirty adults who have power.
It's lame.
Be more pure.
We're still 17, right?
17?
Yea..
Yea.. that's right...
Is this seat taken?
Can we sit here?
Yea, whatever.
The cafeteria looks like it's all about the test too..
Why are there tests?
What?
Studying Math and Literature..
From my experience, it doesn't help in life.
But everybody's all about getting good grades or not..
It's kind of stupid..
I don't care..
Isn't that just running away?
Running away?
I don't understand the purpose of tests either.
Studying is dull; it's boring.
But isn't that what school's all about?
Effort is necessary.
That's why I go to school even though it's a pain.
To become a sane adult.
I can't trust an adult who grew up without effort.
Are you saying I'm one of them?
No, not really.
But I thought you'd never run away.
Even if it's uncool, you won't run away.
I hate this Makky.
He left...
After that...
The day of the final came. [Final Exams 1st Day]
- Sakura-something... - What?
If you want me to help you cheat, then no.
Ready.. begin.
[Final Exams 2nd Day]
Wha?
It's not multiple choice!
Ok? Ok!
I'm so sorry..
Time's up. Gather the tests from the back.
Finally!
It's over!
I'm so tired. Let's eat Takoyaki at the station on the way home. [octopus dumplings]
Yea.
Nice.
Ahhh, 9th. Of course.
Oh, I went up.
Can I get into university like this?
I feel bad for my mom..
"Those listed here have red marks and therefore will take makeup exams."
122nd: Sakaki Makio.
I knew it..
Are you a real idiot?
Nice going!
This is the first time someone got lowest besides me.
I really like your stupidity.
Starting today, you become my underling.
Get outta the way.
Sakaki Makio's my underling.
It's him, right? The one who got red marks.
I heard he is really an idiot.
Almost all his tests were below 30.
How dumb.
He's the first to flunk.
Kajiyama-sensei.
What is this?
Red marks coming from our class?
Listen up.
Study for the makeup exams.
No.
I don't feel like trying anymore..
I'm an idiot no matter what.
Even if I try, it's impossible.
I gave it my all this time...
Vice Principal, the sunflowers bloomed so beautifully. Look...
Not now, not now.
What are you being so spoiled about?
Do you want me to say this?
"I guess we can't help it because you're an idiot. You don't have to study or take the makeup exam."
"You should try hard your own way."
I won't say it. Ever.
Take the makeup. Study.
You're just exploiting the fact that you're stupid.
Work hard.
Don't turn your eyes away from your faults.
Damn woman...
What?
I won't take the makeup.
What did you say?!
- I won't take it. - You're taking it..
- I'm not taking it!! - Take it!!
Everyone calm down.
You immediately run away.
Don't run away.
Listen up..
Inside the things you're not good at...
Are many beautiful things you still don't know hidden away inside.
How would I know?
That's why you still don't have a boyfriend yet.
What? Really?
I want him to try hard.
Did I do something wrong?
No, not at all.
But men are more delicate than women.
If say your opinion so bluntly, the guy's balls will shrink.
Principal!
Oh, my apologies.
Anyways, this problem is about his believing in himself.
- Red marks? - Yes.
He ranked 122nd in his class.
He got red marks on Japanese, Math, and English.
How many 3rd year students are there?
122.
For the Japanese History, Biology, and Physics, he wrote down the answers by rolling a pencil...
And they got slightly above 30.
It's almost a miracle.
I see...
Red marks..
Is he Ok..
He's not good at making an effort little by little.
He never had to save money..
He never had to work hard to get a girl either.
That's because..
Everything was already there even though he didn't ask for it.
- The problem begins here. - Yes.
This is definitely the greatest enemy for the young master.
We'd like to help him as much as we could.
[Nursing Room] It's not like...
Something's wrong with my body..
If I had to say it, my brain's bad.
Since elementary school, I never worried about things more than 90 seconds..
But now, my brain's going all crazy.
It's Ok.
If you drink Mizushima-sensei's tea, you'll be fine again.
This Nursing Room is the relaxation room for St. Agnes Academy.
Here you go.
Thank you.
It's Ok, Sakaki-kun.
I like the face of a suffering man.
Roda is the greatest!
But your face is pretty good too.
Hello.
Oh, do you want to have a cup of tea too?
Oh... No..
Please excuse me.
Sakura-something.
You..
Said I'm trying to run away, right?
Yes I did.
I've never run away from any kind of enemies.
But there's only one thing..
I've run away before..
That's... school.
I've always been stupid since I was little.
I've always hated school... And ran.
My dad didn't say anything about it..
But my mom wept..
She's passed away now, from illness.
15 years later...
I've still been running away from school..
Huh? 15 years?
So.. since you were 2?
Don't worry about the small stuff.
Those feelings from long ago followed me to this school.
And I got the worst rank.
I'm pitiful (a-wa-re) so I can't help it.
A-wa-re?
Don't worry about stuff like rank.
I think your mother didn't care about you becoming 1st or 2nd...
I think she just wanted you to enjoy school.
Enjoy school?
Yes.
Rankings are so temporary..
When you get older it doesn't matter what rank you were.
But fun memories are forever.
Like: "That was a pain, but I tried hard."
Or: "It was together with him."
Those memories are an irreplaceable treasure from your student days.
- Treasure? - Right.
If you want..
Do you want to study together for the makeup?
What?
What's wrong with coming to study with you guys?
I can't invite girls over to my house.
But I want to meet your mom again after so long.
A-wa-re...
A-wa-re means... "misery."
- Sakaki-kun.. - Yes?
In old Japanese, "a-wa-re" doesn't only mean 'misery.'
I didn't know that..
Yes. A-wa-re means emotional and impressed.
If you say "The most A-wa-re is the fall."
That means "The most impressive season is the fall."
Impressive..?
But it is summer right now.
Did you know that too?
Yea, a-wa-re is an ambiguous word.
How your soul moves when understand the nuances of human nature..
Or like.. how something's so impressive the soul moves.
Huh? The soul moves?
Yea.
Jun you're bad at explaining things.
Right... so for example...
Today's sunset is very a-wa-re..
Something like that.
Oh.. I see..
You're right.
It's a nice sunset.
Yea.
You're right.
This is bad.
What's wrong?
I just got a call. The Kumada Family's made their move.
What?
We have to call Aniki.
No, wait.
Wow...
Please.
So this is a normal high school student's room.
Nextdoor is my older sister's room.
Here you go Makky.
His older sister's really beautiful.
Shut up.
Makky? Any brothers?
From the Exchanging of the Cups (Yakuza Initiation Ceremony) I have about 200 brothers.
200?!
Of course it's a joke.
I have a younger brother named Mikio.
Wow, so it's Makky and Mikky.
Yea.. something like that.
What about you, Umemura-san?
Including me, it's 5.
5?
My youngest brother is still in elementary school.
Pink object...
Jun-kun!
My mom.
What?
Sakaki-kun's friend is here!
Huh? Mine?
Aniki, here's some pudding for your studying.
Thanks, what's with the clothes?
Oh, I was studying with Teen Magazine.
Actually.. Aniki...
What?
Oh, it's nothing. Good luck with your studies.
Makky, who is it?
Yes?
He..he.he...he's from my "family."
Nice to meet you.
So is this your little brother?
Kinda...
Is this Mikky?!
Fucker, who you callin' Mikky?!
- This is Mikky! - Hi I'm Mikky..
Get out.
Excuse me for one second.
Dammit, watch your language.
Sorry!
Why should a dummy like you get to be my little brother in the first place?!
Sorry.
My little brother is way more splendid and smarter.
Yes, I'm sorry.
- Hurry up and go home. - Right.
- Thanks for the puddings. - Right.
Fuckin' kid calling my Aniki "Makky."
I'll kill him twice.
I'm back.
Kazu.
Is the master studying?
Indeed he is.
Really, let's get ready.
We're going to have a big fight tomorrow as well.
Sakaki-kun.
Yes?
I'll lend this to you.
Huh?
This is my special pen for tests.
I got into this high school using this pen.
I used it for this test as well.
So try your best.
Oh, thank you.
Ok, kids with nothing to do here go home.
Ok.
See you later.
Ok.
- Do your best, Makky. - Ok.
- Bye sensei. - Bye.
Good.
You didn't run.
Ready.
Go.
Don't run...
Fight.
Start.
Fight.
Tell your brain to do its best!
To become Boss...
I can't lose here!
[Impressive]
I did everything I could...
KUROI Kuroi Teruyuki KANTOU SHARP FANG
"The phone you are trying to reach cannot get a signal or..."
I can't reach those guys...
No way..
Got it?
From today, this building's money goes through us.
You listening?!
Yes, I understand.
Wasn't the arcade this way?
Hoshino-kun... this is bad...
The real deal..
Whoa, awesome!
Noisy kids..
Hey, fuck them up.
What do you want?
Um.. we got lost... and...
Kids shouldn't be coming to places like this!
Hit me... anywhere....
Hoshino-kun!
Someone!!
Garbage...
Where's Sakaki?
Our boss doesn't have to come out for something like this.
Back away from this territory.
Oh yea?
Looks like you guys are looking down on me.
Get them.
What happened to that energy just now?
Huh?
Kumada!!!
Aniki!
Master!
Let me in on this.
What about school?
Why didn't you say anything?
The makeup?
No worries. I finished.
What's with the clothes?
These are my summer clothes, dammit.
Trying to be cool by being late?
My bad, I was fighting a big enemy.
Enemy?
Who were you fighting besides me?!
I can't say.
However...
It was a damn good fight.
I did my best.
I have no regrets.
What was it...
How do you say...
It was a wonderful (a-wa-re) feeling, goddammit!!
Hoshino-kun.
Good.
No way..
I'm so awesome!
Oh.. good morning.
I got scared and ran away...
When I came back it looked like everyone was taken down by a tornado.
It basically means that I beat them all up.
It's amazing. As expected of Hoshino-kun.
So from now on...
Call me "Tornado Hoshino."
Cool!
Sakaki-kun's English makeup...
Was 8 points.
12 points.
0 points.
So this means he's flunking for sure.
But.. when I compare it to the original test I can see the effort he put into it.
The correct answer here is "Ito Ahare."
It was pretty close, so I gave him half credit.
As a teacher, I can let him off by having him take summer school.
I think that's Ok as well.
Me too.
I understand. But just this once.
But make him work hard during summer school.
Thank you very much Vice Principal.
Kajiyama-sensei.
- Thank you very much, Mr. Paul. - Your welcome.
Huh? Contacts?
Yes.
I should address my weak points as well.
Weak point.. contacts?
No..
Um.. love...
Love.
I have no ties with love...
My chances of getting married before I'm 30 are less than 1% at this rate.
I have to fight and not run.
Love...
Just now.. was that?
Did his plane arrive safely?
Really?
I'm counting on you.
Oh crap...
Huh?
Doesn't summer vacation start today?
It starts tomorrow.
But I have school tomorrow.
Really?
Summer school?
Yea.
You.. studying during summer vacation.. Your mom in heaven....
Your mom in heaven is surprised, no?
But now I've cleared all of my Red enemies...
Watch where you're going!!
The hell are you doing?
Sorry, (repeats).
Sorry?! My arm's broken.
Sorry, I don't like violence.
What was that?
Also...
I think it's better you not lay a hand on me.
What?
Master Mikio, I've come to pick you up.
Thank you, gramps.
Are my father and brother well?
Summer vacation starts tomorrow.
For everyone's last summer vacation in high school, have fun without regrets.
Sensei's been wearing contacts a lot lately.
Maybe she's in love..
Maybe!
Ok, I'm going to pass out your grades.
And then...
Somehow, I made it past my first semester.
Also, this summer...
For me...
It became a summer I'd never forget.

What's wrong, master!
What's this pain in my heart?
On the last day of studies there's a nighttime courage game.
I wanna pick Sakaki-kun.
Love... What the hell is that?
What's wrong? You didn't bring an umbrella.
