Chapter 11 huh?
It really felt short.
Didn’t find anything to add. 
Good job, everyone!

すみませんが、分かりません .-.
What? xD
So why does ひとつ become ひと? Is it just a casual shortening? Is it a sort of anti-rendaku?
Oops. Here’s what I wanted to say: “That was terrible, wasn’t it? How about getting/doing revenge?”
Ah! Didn’t read the kanji (because I was lazy and it’s too small) and didn’t understand how a review fit into all this. 
ごめん～

Oops. On page 91, I read じぶん as たぶん, as in “Don’t worry, but maybe you should wipe it up”. Thanks @BobaGakusei!
@Kazzeon: No problem. Tiny kanji is something I have to get used to as well. It’s so easy to misread. Hiragana too!

@Chellykins: You’re welcome.
I don’t know if this is correct, but the shortening of ひと仕事 could be a casual way of counting.
Normally the つ of 一つ is a “things counter”, so maybe Koiwai was just using 仕事 as a “work/jobs counter”. “One job” would then be 一仕事, and read as ひと仕事.

Sorry to keep on with this, but wouldn’t it be いち then? As in 一本、一匹、一枚。。。
Yeah, I don’t know either. =/ All I can say is that numbers and counting are way too hard in Japanese.
いち could be valid, or even いっ (e.g., 一回).

They might be using the hiragana just because it’s manga?
Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that it should be 一つ; I was just reminding marcusp that ひと didn’t just mean person, that it was also a reading for 一, which fits with the phrase seanblue provided the jisho link to.

Ah, chapter 12. This chapter is the reason that @fl0rm’s comment from back just before we started chapter 11 confused me a great deal. 
Jumbo absolutely has ulterior motives.
Not entirely sure where he gets off inviting people to Water World on Koiwai’s tickets, then changing the location at the last second.
Still, wonder if this is what the newspaper man wanted last chapter.

I agree; it’s funny in retrospect.
I think there were hints that Jumbo might be like this with the sisters in Volume 1, and this chapter gave him the chance to show it. I can understand switching to the pool because they didn’t have enough tickets for Water World (4 tickets for 5 people), but I was surprised by the lack of complaint from everyone but Fuuka. (Koiwai lets him get away with it, so he’s at fault too.)
It’s interesting to think about how the chapters tie together. Now that you mention it, the newspaper person probably was trying to give them the Water World tickets. It looks like Asagi wasn’t present for the Don’t Mind (11) and Pool (12) chapters. Perhaps she was discussing her vacation plans in the Revenge (9) chapter.
