Continuing from Things didn´t go as expected last chapter, with the MC´s self proclaimed rival winning a baseball challenge by defeault and our main heroine being encouraged to defend herself, rather than becoming someone for the MC to protect.
For chapter 54 we´ll see how everything plays out.
What´s happening here is that the guy with the moustache is the teacher that´s currently assigned as the baseball coach to Yugami´s team, and he is despondant because the optimistic personality of the former captain made it easy for him to sit back, while with Yugami as captain things got a lot more intense.
So while Yugami is busy writing down everyone´s ideas on how to improve the results of the baseball team, Hayashiyama´s team actually went on to win the regional spring tournament. (not to be confused with the spring koshien). Poor chihiro just gets reminded of the bet she is involved in...
It seems Hayashiyama sucess in baseball is helping him out with his issues with approaching people, since they are coming to meet him rather than him having to go and meet them...
Meanwhile we get another look at why Yugami´s team was particularly bad before.
So basically since Hayashiyama got what he wanted from chihiro by getting popular, the whole mess with trying to date her completely slipped his mind and doesn´t matter anymore.
Not that Hayashiyama explains or even tries to make it sound reasonable.
So it seems the teacher used to eat lunch by himself and be seen as a weirdo at first, but as he started fitting in he gradually loosened up and can even enjoy going out and party
Conveniently enough, Nogami demonstrates the typical case of a person who isolates herself because of her weirdness, and thus will open up if given the chance like Chihiro just did. But we know this doen´t apply to Yugami...
Unsurprisingly, when eating Yugami considers enjoying the food as much more important than bonding with the person he´s eating with. What´s unexpected is that the teacher gets his point of view
So chapter 55 closes off with a two fold misunderstanding (best way to describe relationships between different generations, really). The teacher believes Yugami bolted off when he finished eating to isolate himself again, and chases after him to prevent it. Yet Yugami, when he realizes the teacher left reasons that his ideas about savouring the food by yourself got through, and that both could understand each other.
The next chapter ends volume 11 with a shock, as the ever friendly Chihiro actually cuts ties with someone while Yugami wonders if he is doing something to cause his own misfortune. The chapter after that has both of them trying to cope. But that´s for another day.
20 repetions of 17 sets of 100m dashes + 1000 batting swings + 5 repetitions of 6 sets of 5 laps around the school + run up all the stairs 30 times + running after the ball until you catch it 30 times
That is honestly more hardcore than saitma´s regime.
Josiah Richardson
Yugami doesn't fuck around. He needs to.break those newbies down before he can build them up. What really makes him hardcore and absolutely based is that he participates as well.
Cooper Bailey
Not just participate, he also has to expend energy to tell everyone what to do, throw the balls for them to catch, watch out for slackers, AND his own specific pitcher training.
It might get something once the anime finishes to boost sales but the anime probably wouldn't do very well anyway.
Christopher Sullivan
Wasn't the best time to boost sales when it was still ongoing?
Cameron Robinson
Yes, but concluded manga occasionally get anime to advertise the final volume and collected tanks. I think it's pretty unlikely in Yugami's case but it could happen.
Gabriel Flores
Someone's gotta typeset the translations posted in the previous Yugami threads.

Commencing chapter 42 translation dump
>Yugami-kun is a Friendless Loser Character Introductions
>Yugami Yuuji >A boy who always has fun by himself. He is the ace of the baseball club. >He wouldn't trade rakugo for anything
>Watanuki Chihiro >A transfer student who could not get close with her classmates. She somehow gets strung along by Yugami-kun. >With that said, is that a chance for her to build social relations little by little?
>Kadota Haruki >First year in the baseball club. He has known Yugami-kun since they played little league baseball together. >Yugami-kun takes advantage of him for his own gain.
>Hayashiyama Masaki >The second year ace for Amagi High's baseball club. >He's forgotten by Yugami but they've known each other since elementary school. He seems to be interested in Chihiro-chan
>Kuzumi Wakana >The baseball club's manager. Became friends with Chihiro thanks to Yugami.
>Momose Kaori >Good friends with Kuzumi-san and sees Yugami-kun as an enemy for some reason.
>Watanuki Koichi >Chihiro's dad. A salary man who loves rakugo and his family. Is used to moving for work frequently.
>[The story up until now] >Yugami is too based for people to handle.
I probably won't do these for the next volume. They're basically the same every time.
>Suzu-chan lived in the neighborhood back then. >She came by the house to play all the time.
>Yuu-kun, look. This is how you play with blocks.
>Back then, Suzu-chan didn't have any siblings yet so she was happy being an older sister to him.
>Yuu-kun
>You can't play with this toy yet! You're still a baby!
>She took care of Onii-chan
>Geez, listen to what Onee-chan is saying >Yuu-kun can't do anything by himself >Onee-chan will show you this alphabet book. >Onee-chan will help you drink this >It's because, it's because Suzu is your sister. >Yuu-kun will play the baby because you're a baby.
I didn't feel like translating Yugami's babby noises either.
>Well, I don't think she should let that bother her. >There's no way that's the entire reason Yugami-san turned out that way. She shouldn't feel responsible for it. >My older sister was pretty mean, too but I turned out just fine.
>I told her that, too but
>Yukko-chan, look at this >A child's personality is created in the first three years >I knew it >[Suzune 6th grade]
>Yukko-chan look >Even a small thing can corrupt a child's personality >[Suzune JC year 2]
>She's adamant about it so she keeps finding evidence for it...
>Yuu-kun, you have earphones on because you want to avoid human contact.
>...And strengthens her belief.
>It can't be helped. Suzu-chan's dreams for the future involve stuff like that so she's highly interested in it.
>I want to... >Get a job with something to do with children's education
>Children's Psychology >Raise a Kid Straightforward
>I actually got a promotion. >So the situation changed. >Hahaha
>I told you you should have told her earlier.
>I'm staying here. Leave me here
>What are you saying? There's no way I'm leaving a high school girl here alone while I go abroad. >We don't have any relatives around here, either >So there's no way that's happening
I wonder if "I like it" is a better translation than "good", since Yugami literally says what's in the like button.
Adam King
They mean the same thing but somebody saying "I like it!" is a bit more odd of an expression than "Good!" or "Nice!". It's not really worth splitting hairs over.
Samuel Jenkins
It matters here because that's the joke, but really at the current rate the translators are going they will only reach that chapter by the end of the year so it's up to them.
Easton Cox
You're really overthinking this. People say いいね all the time in Japan. It's nothing special. It's not even a joke here.
