After moving and transferring schools, Lulu has finally made some friends in class. Following some after-school shopping, they stop by the group’s favorite café, only to find it filled to the brim with hoodlums.

響子(きょうこ):
「残念(ざんねん)だけど　他(ほか)　行(い)きましょう」
“Too bad... let's just go somewhere else.”
清美(きよみ):
「賛成(さんせい)」
“Agreed.”
美代子(みよこ):
「そうしましょう」
“Yeah, let's do that.”

Key Points

  1. 賛成(さんせい) works as a standalone I agree

    • By itself, 賛成(さんせい) means approval or agreement with the suggestion that was just made

    • In dialogue like this, it is a brisk natural way to say “Agreed” or “Sounds good”
