Wow! I don't even remember when this series was for the first time brought to this board's attention... After so many years, and since the manga seemed a bit obcsure, I thought this scene would remain forever lost... And what a scene it is! I'm glad someone finally found it. Loved the humorous tone. While I can't translate word for word, I love the joke. The girl's first idea to get inside the school and help her friends was to mug a bunch of students for their clothes. Her friends are a bit concerned this was the first solution that came to her mind. And there's even a rather decent aftermath (as far as mainstream scenes are concerned).

So to sum up, a huge THANK YOU to you!

(Quick PS for those (like me) who can't see the image and have to use the direct link, the main page of interest is page 67.) (Edit: Oops. Looks like simon beated me to the punch. )

Attempt at a translation:

First panel:

"Is everything alright, Haruto?"

"Kazumi, Mutsuki..."

"Hi Haruto! Your friend Mutsuki stole the uniforms of a couple of fools!"

Second panel:

"You stole the uniforms?!"

"Yes! Don't you think it's a good idea?"

"Not really."

Third panel:

"I told them it was for the good of their school! That we wanted to solve the problem they had!" (Sorry I can't find a translation for the Small text. I suspect at least one word is cropped and my knownledge of Spanish is too incomplete for me to find the word.)

Panel with the tied-up students:

"Why am I the one who has to watch them? Mutsuki always abuses of my kindness!"

I think so. (The disguised boy is on the top left.) Thankfully, it's the disguised girl who gets the detailed full panel showing her clad in the stolen uniform. Not the first Japanese scene featuring M/M and F/F uniform stealing at the same time. (I still remember the one in Get Backers...) Personally, I don't mind the token guy in distress if there is a good F/F uniform stealing alongside.
