Prologue

Season: Summer
Narration: ES’s 2nd Year of Establishment, in the middle of June

… Mn~mm. Just what I figured. I feel like we really stick out from everyone else at this establishment...

Well, it’s a collaboration with a manga that was insanely popular forever ago, so it is to be expected...

I’m glad I’m not on my own… Thank you so much for accompanying me, Mashiro-kun.

You've got some nerve trying to run away after seeing my face, Transfer Student.

Is that a guilty conscience speaking? If not, there’s no reason to run.

Ibuki Taki Solo
Translation

Proofreading
Ibuki's entrance into AKATSUKI has insensitive parallels to the history between Japan and the Ryukyu Islands, specifically the annexation of Ryukyu into Okinawa from 1872-1879 onward. Click for more information

AKATSUKI is a unit embodied by 和 (wa, lit. harmony, but also a self-designator for Japan). The word 和風 (wafu, Japanese style) comes from 和. During the Meiji Restoration, 和 was central to Japan’s efforts to unify and assimilate new territories under a shared cultural identity. On top of his membership, Ibuki's active pursuit of 本当の和風 (true Japanese-style) being the reason he pursues AKATSUKI is inappropriate, bearing this in mind.

Additionally, the Ryukyu Disposition was driven by military interests, particularly securing Japan's southern borders from other nations. In Okinawan schools, national pride was linked to serving Japan’s military goals. This had devastating consequences, particularly during the Battle of Okinawa in World War II. This in mind, having Ibuki join the self-proclaimed "war unit" is also inappropriate.

Was a whole chapter of Souma troubling to translate? Yes. Huge backstory in this one, and lots of Shinobun in it too!
