Yatogame-chan Kansatsu Nikki Season 2, Episode 7: I Ain't Skippin' It

We Meet Again

I went through a lot after moving to Nagoya and being forced to join the photography club, but I've pretty much settled in by now. My clubmates are Yatogame-chan with the thick Nagoya accent, Tadakusa Mai from Gifu Prefecture, and the club president Sasatsu Yanna, who's from Mie Prefecture. I'm gonna have them teach me some more of the Nagoya dialect today! I really wish they'd stop saying "chin-chin" over and over, though...

I Ain't Scary

It Ain't Dull

It's the day of the ball sports tournament! But just what the heck is this "taspony" sport we're playing? And why is it that nobody I ask about it knows, either?! It seems like even Toshika wasn't really able to talk to Yatogame about it... According to Yatogame, taspony is sort of like tennis, except you play it with your bare hands. Just what kind of sport is this, anyway?

I Didn't Leave Nothin' Out

It's hot... So hot... But I've been through this before, haven't I? But as we were sitting in the club room melting away, someone popped out of a locker. Turns out it wasn't the product of some curse; it was just the photography club advisor, Rara-sensei. Wait, she was in the locker all that time, in this awful heat? She seems kinda spacey... I'm a little worried about her...

It Ain't a Main Dish

Ugh, I caught a cold... I sent my sister out to buy a few things, but when the door to our house opened later, the one who came in was... Yatogame? Why? What's she doing in my room? And what does "I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do" mean?! As I'm waiting anxiously to find out, Yatogame returns with a pot of miso-stewed udon and... what? Rice? I don't need rice with udon...

I Ain't Backin' Down

The term "the Nagoya skip" came into use when Nagoya was removed from the Nozomi Shinkansen's route, and it's been a real problem for the people of Nagoya. Toshika's upset because the band she likes isn't doing a concert here. Even the anime lineup is different here. Fear the Nagoya skip!

It Ain't a Building

I suggested that our club take part in the Nagoya Symbol Photo Contest, but no one seems excited about it! If we're talking about the symbol of Nagoya, it's gotta be Nagoya Castle, right?! The golden shachihoko statues are the embodiment of Nagoya! We've gotta go take pictures there! Right? You agree, don't you, Yatogame? ...Yatogame?

It Ain't Weird

I walked into the club room to find Yatogame bound to a chair... Apparently, Tadakusa-chan doesn't agree with the saying that Nagoya is one of the three ugliest populations in Japan. What's going on with Yatogame's hairstyle, anyway? Sasatsu and Tadakusa-chan are doing all kinds of things to her. And what's a "Nagoya maki"? Does it involve fried shrimp?

It Ain't Weak

Summer in Nagoya is as hot as ever. I really think Tadakusa-chan should switch to her summer uniform now... We all stopped by a convenience store to buy ice pops. What did Yatogame get? A Jun Hit Chocolate Bar? What is that? Is it new? And Sasatsu got... the Azuki Bar that's famous for being super hard, huh? And what about Tadakusa-chan?

I Ain't Yer Servant

We were out walking around with Yatogame-chan when some grade school kid called out to her. Seems her name is Itemae Shiharu, and she and her friend, Koshiyasu Nanaho, are visiting Nagoya from out of town. Turns out Itemae is Yatogame's cousin, and she's... in middle school? Yatogame's acting really weird, though... And now Sasatsu and Tadakusa-chan are, too?!

It Ain't Number Three

It looks like Yatogame was really shocked to hear someone say that Nagoya isn't one of Japan's three major cities. I mean, there are so many other cities in Japan, like Sapporo, Kyoto, Kobe, Sendai, Hiroshima, Fukuoka... But that aside, Yatogame seems to be having some kind of nightmare...
