| Citron | I'm glad there are lots of comedy specials on at this time of the year! |
| Taichi | I like this comedian! |
| Tsuzuru | They've been popping up a lot recently, haven't they. |
| Taichi | They're really energetic, so they're fun to watch! Their punchlines are funny~! |
| Sakuya | Ahaha! Their funny faces are funny too! |
| Tenma | There are a lot of people copying them around. |
| Izumi | They're energetic, but their back-and-forths are superb. We should be able to carry some of that across to our acting. |
| Tsumugi | Comic dialogue is a good reference for when we solicit laughts in a play. |
| Taichi | I want to know which comedians you all like! |
| Tenma | I like "Papepa"[1]. I acted with them in a drama recently and got to see their jokes; I became quite the fan. |
| Taichi | Now that you mention it, when "Papepa" appeared on TV the other day, they were saying they'd gotten your approval! |
| Tenma | Recently, comedians have been appearing in dramas, and their acting is good too. Their jokes are polished, so they're worth watching. |
| Tsumugi | My pick might be "Ranman Sakuyo, Hanayo"[2]. |
| Tsuzuru | Tsukioka-san, that's a pretty sophisticated choice. |
| Tsumugi | R-Really? I think they're pretty funny, though...... |
| Kumon | I like "Chokkoritan"[3]! Their gags are so fresh I laugh a lot! |
| Sakuya | Ah, apparently Chokkoritan's going to appear after this! |
| Kumon | Eh! I'm definitely watching! |
| Citron | Everyone seems to be having fun. I'm going to research lots for manzai too! |
| Kazunari | Everyone, listen up~! I've got a super special thing to talk about! |
| Izumi | What is it, Kazu-kun? |
| Kazunari | I've been asked something by Papi again~. |
| Tsuzuru | Your father works at an advertising agency, doesn't he. |
| Tsumugi | The Santorini Resort thing was by Kazu-kun's father's request too, right. |
| Izumi | What sort of thing did he ask of you this time?? |
| Kazunari | He says he wants normal people to form a manzai pair and perform a show on TV! |
| Taichi | TV!? |
| Kazunari | Right, right~. A program on Veludo TV is developing a plan where noormal people who can make funny jokes will appear as a manzai pair. |
| They're looking for people to appear on it~. |
| Tsumugi | But why come to us? |
| Kazunari | This was a fair while back, but it might be because I told Papi about our MANMAN Grand Prix! |
| Izumi | I see. To think that yet another chance to go on TV would come following on from Christmas...... |
| Kazunari | BTW, it's a live broadcast! So since I gave Papi the OK, we've got to decide who'll appear. |
| Tsuzuru | You agreed, huh...... |
| Kazunari | It'd be a waste not to appear on this sort of thing! So who wants to do it! |
| Taichi | In that case, I'm nominating Citrun! |
| Sakuya | I think Tsuzuru-kun and Citron-san would be good too! |
| Kazunari | Right! They're who came to my mind first too~! |
| Kumon | You mean their manzai will appear on TV!? I'm super happy! |
| Tenma | They're the most passionate about manzai, and they have experience in the shopping district. Should be fine, right? |
| Citron | That's no good! |
| Kazunari | ??? |
| Tsumugi | You mean you're reluctant to appear on TV? |
| Citron | It's not that. ......Citrun has never been able to win a MANMAN Grand Prix! |
| Tsuzuru | Urk......Hearing that again stings a bit...... |
| Kazunari | I see~. |
| Citron | We want to appear on TV after we've won fair and square. |
| Taichi | In other words......! |
| Citron | The Third MANMAN Grand Prix has been decided~![4] |
