Penguin Revolution Post
Yay! I've had these images sitting around for a bit now. Finally got the time to write up a summary. As always my Japanese is not that great, so some info might not be correct. I do try my best though.
Summary of vol. 2-3 with loads of scans under the cut.
The first chapter of vol. 2 is the last scanlated chapter. Ryo getting attacked in the play. Next chapter opens with a very nice pic of Ayaori (from now on I shall call him Aya).
Give me a moment to stop squeeing. Okay, moment over.
The morning starts with them getting ready for school. I love Aya's internal bubble. Poor guy. He's got 2 guys dressed up as girls when there's actually only one crossdressing at the moment. Aya notices the bandage on Ryo's head from the attack and asks what's up. Ryo gets angry and tells him shortly that it's nothing. Aya just kind of wanders off at that. There's a student council meeting at the school and Yukari once again notices the differences btwn Aya and Ryo. After the meeting, Ryo stays behind to finish up some stuff and tells Yukari to head home without him. She sees Aya and walks home with him. While they're talking, she bumps into another person and drops her bag into the street. Aya stops her from getting it and picks it up himself.
Yukari is surprised and thanks him. He smiles at her, surprising her again. She goes off into dream mode because he smiled at her. XD Too uber cute.
Yukari heads off to work at Peacock and picks up Ryo's schedule. While wandering around the facilities, she comes across Aya laying down in a dance room. She thinks the person is sleeping at first, but something is wrong. She runs over to make sure Aya is okay and notices that his pulse is barely there. She almost thinks he's dead. Before she can totally panic, we see Shacho watching from a chair across the room. Aya wakes up at this point. I'm guessing he's acting like he's dead, probably because a character he plays has a death scene. I'm not too sure though. He does the "play dead" act again and his wings go full blast. The next section has Yukari waking up in Shacho's office. The whole "Aya plays dead" thing was too much for her, she passed out. lol Yukari and Shacho talk for a bit and then she asks the million dollar question, "Why is Peacock's #1 and a Penguin living together?" End of the chapter cliffy: they're the Shacho's "children." dun, dun dun!
Ryo arrives home from school at this time to see Aya reading a script in his "Peacock" mode. Aya tells Ryo that his manager passed out. Ryo panics and starts to run out the door in drag. Aya throws his script at him and tells him to change. Ryo gets dressed as quick as possible and asks where Yukari passed out. Aya says that it was at the Peacock Office and Ryo runs out.
Back to Yukari and Shacho. Yukari is surprised by the "children" thing. She comments that none of their names relate, since Shacho's business card name is Torii Hidemitsu. Shacho said he changed his name and his former name is actually Katsuragi Hidemitsu. That makes him Ryo's father. However, Aya isn't one of his sons. I'm not entirely sure about his specifics, but he lost his family (a relative of Ryo and Shacho's maybe) to an accident. However, Shacho refers to both of them as his "most important sons." Ryo bursts in at this moment. He trips over his shoe and falls on top of Yukari, because he didn't have time to put his shoes on properly. He asks Yukari if she's ok. They have a nice little moment until Shacho interrupts to say they're both late for the planned schedule today. They both race off together to get Ryo to his dance class. When they're walking home together, Yukari apologizes for worrying Ryo and tells him she saw Aya's performance. Ryo now understands how Aya knew about her passing out and tells her that he was worried too.
Scene switches to Aya. He's in dance class too. (An aside, I love the dance instructor XD). Aya forgot his shoes for the class. One of his managers (he's got 2) shows up to give him another pair. The instructor comments that it's rare for Aya to need assistance from one of his managers and wonders if something happened. Aya flashes back to Yukari's collapse and then says that it's nothing.
Scene switches back to Ryo and Yukari. Ryo tells her that Shacho is his dad and it's a secret from the rest of Peacock. We get a bit more of Ryo and his dream for the top. I can't tell, but I think he's doubting himself here. Yukari comments that he'll make it, since he has "wings." They act cute together and then we switch back to Shacho again. His secretary says that it's rare for him to tell anyone about the "top secret." I'm not too sure what Shacho says in response though.
Aya returns home to Ryo and Yukari making a show that she's a-ok now. She also comments that she forgot what happened right before/as she collapsed. Aya just kind of stands there and then wanders off. Yukari freaks out at that response, but Ryo says that it's fine and not to be worried. Aya lays on his bed in his room with a nice blush across his face. XD Yukari makes onigiri and leaves them out with a memo for Aya. He finally comes out and starts to eat with both Yukari and Ryo spying on him around the corner. We get a flashback to when Yukari and Ryo were talking on their way home. Yukari remembers Shacho's comment about Aya's family and an accident. She also remembers when he picked up her bag off the street. She asks Ryo about it. Ryo says it was a traffic accident. The pieces fall together for Yukari. They both get spotted by Aya and they all reconcile. Aya pats Yukari on the head and tells her that the onigiri were delicious.
Next day, Yukari trains herself in Aikido to make herself a stronger manager for Ryo. Ryo and Yukari are at Peacock when a guy loses two coins from his wallet. Yukari snatches them out of the air. Quick reflexes. Her actions are noticed by some long haired guy who suddenly attacks her with a boken. She avoids it easily.
Once she figures out what just happened, Yukari enters "protect Ryo as manager" mode. However the new guy isn't really a threat. She notices that he too has wings. They're smaller than Aya's though. He's Peacock's #10, Narazaki Yuzuru. He's looking for actors for a children's action show he's staring in and thinks Yukari would fit the part. Yukari declines, but says Ryo would be perfect. Narazaki looks at Ryo and says he wont' do. This depresses both Ryo and Yukari. Yuzuru starts to press Yukari, but she stops him and says that she's not an actor. She's Ryo's manager, so she's not going to act. Yuzuru is surprised by her response and apologizes. Then he wanders off. Yukari and Ryo have a little pep talk of sorts after getting such a blunt turn down. Shacho's secretary sees Yuzuru and asks if he's found a new manager yet. With thoughts of Yukari, he comments that the thinks he's found someone good.
Next chapter. Life continues. Ryo watches and studies action shows while everyone else sleeps. Yukari gets "attacked" by Yuzuru again at Peacock. He basically becomes a pest trying to get her to become his new manager. However, she refuses and continually says that she's RYO'S manager. That doesn't stop the guy though. Ryo makes an appearance to protect Yukari when she's caugt off guard. Go Ryo! Otherwise, she really doesn't need the help. She even starts to train Ryo in aikido to make him stronger.
Yuzuru isn't getting the gigantic hints that Yukari is NOT going to become his manager. He even comes to their house when she's in girl mode. She quickly says that she's Fujimaru's sister and he's not home at the moment. Ryo and Yuzuru have a standoff of sorts. They totally don't get along, not sure why. lol
They finally get Yuzuru to leave, but then the doorbell goes off again. Ryo does a flying kick thinking it's Yuzuru on the other side. Turns out to be Aya, because he forgot his key. XDDD
Yuzuru starts to camp outside their house waiting for "Fujimaru" to come back. Yukari avoids him around the house by staying in girl mode. An audition comes up and Ryo goes for it. Yuzuru happens to be one of the judges. He spends most of the start just staring at Yukari making her nervous and Ryo pissed. They have a strange competition where all the applicants wear weights on their legs, arms and backs and then they fight each other. Ryo does a good job on his own thanks to Yukari's training. Theres also another guy who isn't too shabby. Yuzuru joins. However during the fight, one of the weights comes loose off the other guy's arm. It hits Ryo in the chest and he flys into the table with the director and others. Director is an ass to Ryo about it, not that it was his fault.
Yukari drags Ryo out to the restroom and starts to strip him. Ryo freaks out calling her a perv. XD She yells at him, since he got hurt. She noticed that he took the blow on purpose, so the weight wouldn't hit the moron director. They have a cute moment together where he apologizes for worrying her. Outside the restroom is none other than Yuzuru. I'm pretty sure he overheard everything. He stops some random guy from going into the restroom. Scene goes back to the audition results. Ryo didn't get the part (turns out to be the main badguy for the show). They're both in low spirits, but Ryo isn't out of the running. He's been cast as another character. Go Ryo! End of vol. 2.
Ryo's been cast as Yuzuru's character's little brother. XD How fitting. The show is sort of like Power Rangers, but with animal powers. Did I ever mention how much I love this mangaka? lol Yuzuru's character is a vet and the "black" character. They also have a pet groomer, lion tamer, elephant... wrangler, I assume and a cowboy. Filming on the show starts.
Even though Ryo doesn't like Yuzuru, he's very impressed by Yuzuru's acting and he can't wait to get to that level. Ryo's character gets kidnapped by the bad guy in the show. There's a standoff scene later, but an explosion goes off at the wrong time.
Ryo gets knocked down and kind of out of it. Yuzuru runs over to him calling out Ryo's real name. When Ryo comes to, he's still in character. His wings are huge again and he calls Yuzuru "onichan." Yuzuru is surprised by Ryo's whatever you want to call it when the wings go full blast. The scene (an accident and most likely not in the script) is recorded and everyone is stunned.
Yuzuru is still camping outside Yukari, Ryo and Aya's place. Shacho comes to visit him. He asks if Yuzuru is really interested in making Yukari his manager and whether Yuzuru needs his help. Yuzuru says he does want Yukari as his manager, but he doesn't need Shacho's help.
Aya got caught in the rain and goes to take a shower. He comes out only in a towel and Ryo is too busy cleaning the wet floor to stop him. Aya's lovely display shocks Yukari while she's moving dinner and it splashes on her arm. Ryo comes over and takes the pot with his bare hands.
Ryo ends up burning his hands, but he's more worried about Yukari's burn. She freaks out that Ryo got hurt trying to protect her. She grabs some ice for his hands. He pulls her arm into the ice as well and she gets upset about it. They argue over how got burned the worst. XD Ryo wins. Aya is kind of out of the loop, but Ryo reassures him that it wasn't his fault that they got hurt. Cute moment.
Filming continues. Yukari decides to confront Yuzuru once and for all and make him stop chasing her. She tells him that she's Ryo's manager to see his dream come true. She will not and does not want to become his manager. Yuzuru gets a chest sting at her words (lol, yep he's already falling for her here), but he thinks the response might be something he ate. XDD At home, the gang watches the episode where Ryo has that one scene. They all just kind of stare at the screen for a bit.
Trouble is brewing for Yukari. Shacho calls her into his office and asks her about being Yuzuru's manager.
She's taken aback by that. Shacho says that a new manager for Ryo is already arranged. Yukari stands her ground and says she only wants to be Ryo's manager. Ryo ends up meeting his new manager and they already know each other. However, Ryo doesn't know that this guy is taking over as manager. He's shocked when the guy finally says so. Yukari passes by Yuzuru in the hall expecting a standoff with him, but nothing happens. However, she runs into another manager for a new character. He's an ass and tries to trip her. But she's got the aikido mojo going for her.
Ryo comes up about this point and the evil manager makes the comment about Ryo's new manager. Yukari and Ryo are both surprised by this. Words are exchanged and Ryo starts a fight with the other talent. Yukari tries to stop him when the evil guy tries to throw a punch.
Yukari flips the guy before he can touch Ryo. However she's just "hurt" a Peacock talent higher in status than Ryo.
They all go to discuss the event with Shacho. Once everything is said and done, Yukari decides on her own (without Ryo knowing) to quit and take the blame for the "fight." Ryo ends up meeting the "new" manager again and he's not too happy. Ryo runs to ask Shacho what the hell is up and Shacho just says that Yukari quit. Ryo gets mighty pissed about that.
Ryo runs home to find Yukari gone, including all of her stuff. She resigned and moved out with plans to live in the park. Aya calms Ryo down and tells him that she left a meal and memo. Ryo freaks out.
Ryo remembers when they first met and how she was planning to live in the park. He runs off to go find her. Yukari is indeed living in the park. We get flashbacks to when she used to live with her mom. Then we see when her mom left her with only a note. Yukari gets flashes of how happy she was living with Ryo and Aya, but won't allow herself to go back since she's no longer his manager. However, Ryo finds her.
There's one more chapter for this volume that picks up where I started following this series with my scans. It's the accidental kiss part. XD Now I finally understand why she was living in the park and why Yuzuru was chasing after her and confessed to her even if she was a "boy."
