Need Help Translating Manga (Jap-Eng)
Hello, I need some help translating a few phrases.
The manga is called _Chinko-no-tsubuyaki_. _Memories of ?_
1. What does "chinko" mean here?
At the beginning of the story it says "Private MB (My Boy) High School, 2 teachers, I'm here (tada ima) in the middle of an excursion." The "I" refers to a boy. There is the picture of a building in the background, with laughter and music.
2. Then it says: Sono 1 "kore tte tatari!?" no maki. その１”これってたたり!?"の巻。 I don't understand this. The character TATA is the kanji for "curse, haunt". It didn't appear as a kanji when I typed the ひらがな たた。I don't think it's one of the 1,945 General Use kanji. I don't understand why the numeral 1 was used. And I don't understand the use of って here. Is it a colloquial substitute for は?
3. Further on, it says: aya se no tonari ni suwareru nante.

I don't understand the compound kanji ayase.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

i don't know the exact meaning.....
generally ...might..be "this is 'is this a trick?'"
その１ doesn't mean anything...........
巻：like a chapter in a book

'Chinko,' as it is used here, is apparently a slang word for penis.

I've puzzled out the answer to my question #3 above. Evidently the story is entitled "これってたたり!？” or "Is this a curse/trick?" And the その１の巻 probably means "the first volume or part (of the story)".

Thanks, Wenny.
1. I never thought of that solution, namely that awase is the name of a person.
2. The reason that I asked about って is that it usually comes at the end of a sentence, but here it comes right after これ. Sometimes it stands for は (wa), so I thought that the clause これってたたり！？ might mean something like "Is this a curse!?" However, "Is this a trick!?" seems better.
3. Now my question is How would you translate the entire sentence: その１”これってたたり！？"の巻
