As a reminder, Roll Book Time was released alongside Volume 13, hence its contents are based on events that have happened up to Chapter 115.

In other words, based on events before the 2nd Trimester Final Exams, and before the storm.

Main credits go to a certain Baidu forumer for translating the profiles from the Roll Book Time Databook to a language I understand.
In accordance with her wish, her screenshots from the book will not be copied elsewhere, so refer to the following link to see extracts of Kayano’s profile:

Extracts of Kayano’s profile

And because this is a Japanese -> Chinese -> English translation, while I have endeavoured to keep things as accurate as possible, not everything may be successfully conveyed across

E-7 Kayano Kaede (茅野 カエデ) – the moodmaker who looks after everyone from behind

“Once I decide something, I move straight towards it … that’s how I am.”

Description

• A girl who recently came to Class E. Often seen working alongside Nagisa, and always looking after everyone in class from a step behind. Towards her beloved pudding, one can see her committed passion. Towards her detested huge chests, the emotion runs to a point that normal people can no longer comprehend.

Code Name: Forever 0 (永遠の０/ Eien no Zero), Muramatsu’s idea

The roll book had noted that her bust size was 0, so all Muramatsu did was just bring that across. If she has an opinion, go look for the person who said she was 0 in the first place!

Karasuma’s Assassination Aptitude (graded on a scale of 6)

B*tch-sensei’s Fashion Check (credits to young-il-long-kiyoshi)

To me it looks rather immature, but given your age group isn’t that just about right? You effectively use accessories and it’s important to enjoy being fashionable. Well, for a woman it’s something to polish together with growing into adulthood.

School Uniform

The uniform is a little too big for her but its orthodox otherwise. Like most other girls her age her skirt is on the short side.

Street Clothes

Just like her bright and cute personality, she likes to dress well with a girly style. Did she stack her loose logoed T-shirt over her polka dot tank top to perfectly hide her figure?

Character Relationships

- Shiota Nagisa (addressed as Nagisa) -

Nagisa was the first friend she made after joining Class E. If one appears the other follows behind, the teamwork between the two is good, and their friendship also look like there’s some added import to it as well. Their seats are next to each other’s as well.

- Okano Hinata (addressed as Okano-san) -

A pair who have no confidence in their small figure. Everyday these two distressed souls hold onto the belief that their femininity will one day blossom.

- Yada Touka (addressed as Yada-san) -

At Okinawa, she was moved by Yada’s views on self-improvement. In Kayano’s mind, even when they stay silent, girls with huge chests will still have high levels of femininity, which is almost like cheating. But that view has begun to change.

(TN: What I took from this is that, Kayano feels that simply having a huge chest is like an unfair shortcut for girls to have high levels of Joshiryoku, without needing to do anything else/work hard in order to achieve that.

So for Yada to express the need to polish herself, Kayano was thoroughly impressed, like her beliefs were shaken.)

- Okuda Manami (addressed as Okuda-san) -

Kayano will actively engage in conversation with the easily isolated Okuda. Also invited her to join their group on the Field Trip.

- Kanzaki Yukiko (addressed as Kanzaki-san) -

She’s constantly concerned about the ever-reserved Kanzaki. The incident on the Field Trip actually became a good thing for the two of them (relationship-wise)

- Hara Sumire (addressed as Hara-san) -

Because her cooking is really impressive, they once hung out to come up with “a method for creating the ultimate pudding”, and they have continued to hang out ever since.

- Fuwa Yuzuki (addressed as Fuwa-san) -

Because their seats are close, she tends to spend break time with Hara and Fuwa. Playing the quick-fire straight man (Tsukkomi) to Fuwa’s various manga topics became its own daily mandatory seminar.

- Kurahashi Hinano (addressed as Kurahashi-san) -

A fellow appreciator of sweets. There was one time when the two of them brought all the sweets they had, and held a sweets exhibition contest. If they were to go into a supermarket or an underground mall, they will excitedly leave behind Nagisa and the others to their own devices (while they hunt around for sweets)

(TN: I found the “Nagisa and the others” bit noteworthy. It doesn’t matter if the “others” were a same or mixed gender group. What’s most important, is that Nagisa gets to come along on Kayano’s shopping sprees!)

Matsui-sensei’s Exclusive Behind the Scenes Data

• She had suddenly transferred to Kunugigaoka Middle School in her 3rd year, so she never entered the Main Building’s elite classes. Usually works together with Nagisa, and because they look similar from behind, they’re often mistaken for twins.

• She’s not the type who likes to step in front, and she’s petite and bright too, overall her personality is not one that gets upset easily nor leans towards disorder, which lets her function as one of the moodmakers who cheer on the class.
  (The example with her caring about Kanzaki even in a pinch points to this)

An observation -  looking back, Matsui had shown that Kayano had potential at acting:

Looking further back, Nagisa’s acting skills also aren’t half-bad:

Interestingly enough, Kayano and Nagisa have both had 3 acting “missions” throughout the story.

And the kicker is, 2 of them were paired acts:

You know what would be really nice? One more acting mission with the both of them before the story’s end, this time with both of them at full potential.

Some time before the 2nd Cour aired (before Episode 12 in early April), the Anime seiyuu of the Class E students and teachers were asked to provide some Cast Comments.

I’m certain many of you are curious to hear from one person in particular, so here’s the Comments for Aya Suzaki, the voice of Kayano Kaede.

I’m not as good with conversational dialects, so I hope I did this right.

Also, please don’t ask me to do this for everyone, my time is quite finite.

1. Did you have any points in mind when preparing for the part you will play, like what makes your role appealing?

Generally speaking bright and cheerful, I was conscious about acting out the cuteness of a mascot character!

2. Has your impression of the character you played changed before and after post-recording?

My image of Kaede, from the beginning to the current episodes, hasn’t shook at all.

3. Please tell us about the highlights of the work (the series)

You wonder if everyone in 3-E will become fine assassins, and whether it will result in them being able to assassinate Korosensei…!

And for the 2nd Cour, everyone’s unexpected sides and talents are going to be depicted one by one, so look forward to it!

4. Please leave some comments for fans of the work

The original work has entered some very eyecatching development, so the Anime has become more and more unmissable!

Please treat Korosensei and everyone in 3-E well for the 2nd Cour too ☆

Can anyone translate this comic?

http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga&illust_id=49420129

Not quite a translation, but here’s a brief summary of this comic.

Keep in mind this was written after Chapter 132 but before Chapter 133 was published, and that this is ultimately a fan comic.

Contains Spoilers

Page 1 - 3:

Ever since the battle, whether it’s just a simple greeting or asking for help during lesson time, Kayano has been avoiding eye contact with Nagisa. The last bit is him asking if they want to go home together, “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”

Sugino and Karma remind Nagisa how intense that kiss was, and how Kayano has every right to be embarrassed.

Sugino gives Nagisa the idea of fishing Kayano out with pudding. To his disbelief, “I actually caught something!!”

Ultimately, Nagisa decides to chase after Kayano, because there is still something he needs to find out from her.

Page 4 - 6:

Before she knew it, she ran all the way to the rear mountain. She remarks that she has gotten weak without her tentacles.
Seeing that Nagisa followed her, she does her best not to make a sound. At such a time, she thinks that being small and having green hair is a good thing (ie useful for hiding/camouflaging).

Her thoughts turn to how she failed at revenge, and she doesn’t have her tentacles anymore.
“I couldn’t kill him with my own hands. Sister … I’m sorry”
She’s about to cry, and she doesn’t want anyone to see her like this.

Page 7 - 10:

“Especially not Nagisa …”
“Found you”

“Hey, why are you crying Kayano!? Did that (incident) make you this unhap-”
“No. Not that… I was just thinking about my sister”

“I’m sorry, Kayano … even though I only wanted to help you, the fact that I did that so suddenly …”
“Akari” “Huh?”

“Look at me. Call me Akari.
Just now, what I said about how I didn’t care about this or that, it was a lie …
It’s because it’s Nagisa that I’m very happy, I’m grateful that you saved me.
Ah!! This isn’t an act, really!”

“ … A … Aka … ri …”

“Nuruhuhuhu” Just then, they notice ‘I am a tree’ Korosensei. Understandably, they proceed to kill him.
“But Sensei really wanted to see his students make out!!”  

“This teacher sure is sleazy!”

Well they couldn’t kill him again this time. “But we still have until March to kill him. Let’s take revenge together.”
“Yeah”

Mach 20 Scans’ translation of Chapter 132 used “I’ll never accept it” and “I refuse to believe”. While this is adequate in terms of storytelling, it actually has a lot less impact than the actual line.

Simply put, Nagisa was supposed to sound considerably more forward.

Contains spoilers

This is what the raw text says:

言わせないよ茅野　全部演技だったなんて
E組での思い出　皆で楽しく過ごした事　復讐しか頭に無かったなんて…僕が言わせない

The key is the phrase 言わせない

• 言う (iu) means “to say”
• 言わせる (iwaseru) is the causative form of the verb, which can mean “let/allow to say”
• And 言わせない (iwasenai) is the negative form of the above, meaning “not let/allow to say”

So a better translation of Nagisa’s line is:

You don’t get to say it, Kayano, that it was all an act
All of our Class E memories… all the good times we had with everyone… that nothing but revenge was on your mind… I won’t let you say it

僕が言わせないby空凪onpixiv

There’s a reason why a number of 132-related artwork on Pixiv are titled 僕が言わせない (“I won’t let you say it”). Because Nagisa was just, that, manly.

Seriously, who would’ve thought our short, little, pigtailed assassin could be so bold.

Yep… my brain seems to be stuck in this mlp gear. I’ve a bunch of ideas about various DR characters, but here’s some AssClass ones for now.

The green one is Kayano… or Akari Yukimura, to be exact. No, she’s not an alicorn, just playing the role of one here. Though who knows, with the tentacles, she might become one… The green color I picked from Kayano’s hair. I was thinking her cutie mark could be a mask (both for being an actress and having a secret identity) but solarsavoy suggested interlinked hearts (like a charm that sisters have, and also because she has a caring side) and I really like that.

Then we have sweet little Nagisa with a snake on his flank. (Thanks to @solarsavoy again for pointing out the obvious, when I was wondering what his cutie mark would be. Same in Karma’s case, really.) For Karma and Nagisa I used only colors picked from their hair. I’m still considering if I should have made Karma pink, though. Like his strawberry milk…

And then… the violet one is supposed to be Gakushuu. I had huge problems with him. Somehow the colors I picked from his hair just didn’t work. I’m not sure if this looks like him, really, but that’s it for now. I figured he’d be an unicorn and probably good with magic, so his cutie mark would have stars in it. Decided to go with the pentagram, which is known in Japan as the Seiman, or the Seal of Abe no Seimei.
