These two seem to make a nice pair, even if they're not quite as iconic as the more frequently seen Hokuto+Yuugo and Shintaro+Juri (or Shintaro+Taiga) combinations. Gotta wonder why Shintaro is randomly holding a pen though (≧∇≦). Also, the stylists for the different magazines really like giving Hokuto accessories; it feels like his costume always includes a bunch of bracelets o(≧▽≦)o. Anyways, the topic, like the rest of the interviews from this month's issue of Duet, was school. They had the same questions as all the other juniors and gave some good answers. My personal favorites were their responses to what they'd do if they fell in love with a girl as their school.

I'm not sure how to classify this grouping of juniors. Technically, they could all be considered "fresh" as I don't believe any of them joined before late 2010, but the magazine doesn't refer to them as such, so lets just call them "miscellaneous juniors grouped together for a photoshoot"  (*≧▽≦). The themes were movement and motivation, and each boy spoke about times that he feels like moving vs. times that he doesn't feel like moving, and how he gets himself pumped up. Also, just a note to the community moderator(s), with the exception of Akiba, none of these juniors have tags, which is why I didn't tag them.

I was overjoyed to see Myuuto in a magazine this month ♡o｡.(◕｡ ◕). He appeared with the rest of JR.A, Kawashima, Ryuuya, and Nakada, and they all spoke a bit about Takizawa Enbujo and their daily lives. Kawashima focused on swordfighting, acrobatics, and becoming a student council officer. Ryuuya focused on swordfighting, backflips, and his dog. Myuuto focused on playing a soccer-like game and a pair of pants that he really wanted. And Nakada focused on graduation, making friends, and swordfighting. Can you spot the one that doesn't seem to belong (≧∇≦)/. In all seriousness, I hope that these four appear in some more photoshoots in the future, they seem to work well together. I especially enjoy seeing Myuuto and Ryuuya together; even though they don't have any history to speak of (aside from appearing in some stage-plays together over the years), it's a pairing that works for me. It's hard to believe that Ryuuya is the older one of the two of them though! Ryuuya feels forever 13 to me, while Myuuto looks more his age.

This interview was all about school life. The photoshoot featured quite a few juniors (21 of them!) and as of now I've only translated these 6 for king_kun. Thank you for always sharing the scans with us! If there's another part that you want to see translated, please ask, although I don't make any promises that I'll be able to do it.
