Series: Kick of the Gods — the daily-life manga of ANCHORAGE, a kickboxing gym with 4 locations in Fukuoka, Japan.

About this episode: Episode 13, first published in Japanese on July 15, 2014, under the title "⑬ 鴛崎健太様 美香様 おめでとうございます" (Congratulations to Kenta and Mika-san). Kenta and Mika-san hold their wedding, and Ryota is so moved he cannot stop crying. The joke is that Ryota asks for a DVD of the wedding video — and then admits he wants to use even his friend's wedding for his diet, hoping to lose the weight of his tears. Note: this episode is a July 2014 archive; the wedding is a 2014 event, not current event or schedule information.

Ep. 13 — Kenta ♡ Mika-san's Long-Awaited Wedding

  • Title card: "Congratulations! Kenta ♡ Mika-san's long-awaited wedding!"

  • Ryota (spiky bubble): "Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you!! Kenta!"
  • Kenta (oval bubble): "Tears… thank you…"
  • Kenta (cloud bubble): "But you're crying too much!!"

Panel 4

  • Narration (pink box): "Ryota — the science-minded guy who combines passion and cool, and even uses his friend's wedding for his diet!!"
  • Kenta (spiky bubble): "I never thought of that."
  • Kenta (small oval bubble): "Te ne♡"
  • Ryota (cloud bubble): "Watching my friend, if I could lose the weight of my tears, that'd be great."

  • Sound effect (kept as in the original): "(sound effect, kept as in the original)"

Notes

  • The title card "Congratulations! Kenta ♡ Mika-san's long-awaited wedding!" is the episode title itself, translated in the image.
  • The free writings — the red "ガッ" sound effect (Panel 2), Kenta's "てね♡じゃねーよ!" (Panel 4), and the red "ビッ" sound effect (Panel 4) — are kept as in the original in the image, following the practice of earlier episodes; their translations are given in the dialogue above.
  • The pink narration box is translated in the image; the image uses a condensed version ("Ryota — the science guy who blends passion and cool, and even uses a friend's wedding to diet!") and the full text is given in the dialogue above.
  • Speaker attributions for the Panel 2 spiky bubble (Ryota) and the oval and cloud bubbles (Kenta), and for the Panel 4 spiky bubble (Kenta) and the small oval and cloud bubbles (Ryota), follow the tail directions and the context; they are noted here because the original does not label them.
  • "Kenta!" in Panel 2 renders Ryota's tearful "けんだー!" — a slurred "けんたー!" (Kenta's name).
  • "Watching my friend" in Panel 4 renders the original's "減量のとま見て", transcribed verbatim; "とま" is read as "友を見て" (a handwriting variant of "friend").
  • The date "2004.7.13" written at the top of the image is as drawn in the original; it is likely a typo for 2014-07-13, the wedding date. Kenta's family name is written "鴛崎" in the episode title, while other episodes use "鷲崎"; this is likely a typo, and the original is kept as-is.
  • The "Te ne♡" gag: Kenta says his own cutesy catchphrase, then immediately denies it himself with "てね♡じゃねーよ!".
  • This is an archive episode from July 15, 2014, from the very start of the series. The wedding is a 2014 event; nothing in it is current event or schedule information.
