2nd column in lower panel (Sakura Ai): It’ll be strange if he doesn’t get mad, after what I’ve done to him.
Page 12:
1st column in the Upper right panel (Sakura Ai): I honestly wanted him to smile…
Upper right panel (Sakura Ai’s thoughts): But he hates me now…
1st bubble (Sakura Ai): Kyaaa !!?
2nd bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): Do I look like a pervert!!
3rd bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): What did you cry out for?
4th bubble (Sakura Ai): W… Well, I don’t want to look straight at you.
Page 13:
1st bubble (Sakura Ai):I was afraid that you were mad at me, since you wouldn’t say a word.
2nd bubble (Tokuzawa): I’m not mad.
3rd bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): You’re the insensitive one, right?
4th bubble (Sakura Ai): Huh?
5th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): If you’ve got eyes, you shouldn’t look the other way when I’m talking to you.
Arrow pointing down Defeated
6th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): You’ve avoided making eye contact with me, ever since I started high school and that hurts me.
7th bubble (Sakura Ai): If that wasn't the scene at all....
8th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): I thought you would have forgotten about it.
9th bubble (Sakura Ai): But Tokuzawa, that’s still…
Page 14:
1st bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): I knew it at first glance.
Upper right column (Sakura Ai): Ehh...
2nd bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): Just by looking, I knew it was you...
3rd bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): And I had to refrain from laughing aloud at you.
4th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): So that you wouldn’t think that I was angry with you.
5th bubble (Sakura Ai): But, why?! Me?
6th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): It was my fault that you got your nickname.
7th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): Granny Ai.
8th bubble (Sakura Ai): I knew it !!
9th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): However, talking alone does not makes any differences you know.....

3rd bubble (Maimin): Scared!?
4th bubble (Sakura Ai): I was too afraid to say anything.
5th bubble (Maimin): Well, Ai, anyone would be.
6th bubble (Maimin): But there’s more to it, Ai.
7th bubble (Maimin): Facing the one you love will make you timid.
8th bubble (Maimin): Because you wouldn’t want him to hate you right?
Page 17:
1st bubble (Sakura Ai): You really think so Maimin?
2nd bubble (Maimin): You can do it!! You can do it !!
3rd bubble (Maimin): Regardless of what the rumours say about Tokuzawa… he’s a good guy.
4th bubble (Sakura): But, I still believe that being too honest will cause him to be easily misunderstood.
5th bubble (Maimin): At a glance he looks like a failure...
6th bubble (Sakura Ai): Mutual love is truly amazing isn't it.
7th bubble (Sakura Ai): The way I see it, I've to have to love myself, before I can ever come to love the person I adore. It seems miraculous.
8th bubble (Maimin): So it seems....
9th bubble (Maimin): The changes you desire must come from within… if you don’t change… your wish will never come true.
10th bubble (Maimin): Miracle by itself will not work...don't you think so?
Page 18:
1st bubble (Maimin): Ah, Ai, I sent you a message last night!
2nd bubble (Sakura Ai): Ehh? Ahh..speaking of that...I haven’t look at it yet....My mobile phone....Is it gone...!?

3rd bubble (Sakura Ai’s thoughts): Really....I don’t remember using my mobile phone here...
4th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): You are wearing a cute panty.
5th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): Yeah..
Page 20:
1st bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): What are you searching for now?
2nd bubble (Sakura Ai): I think I lost my mobile phone last night.
3rd bubble (Sakura Ai): I see, so you lost it someplace nearby.
The description above Ai’s head: It's for real....
4th bubble (Sakura Ai): I’ve already searched all the other places I remember passing by…
5th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): What about the pool?
6th bubble (Sakura Ai): Oh yeah..
7th bubble (Tokuzawa taiyou): What’s the color of your phone?
8th bubble (Sakura Ai): It’s white….
9th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): Any straps on it?
10th bubble (Sakura Ai): Just one.
11th bubble (Sakura Ai’s thoughts): This is the first time we're searching for it together.
Lower right column (Sakura Ai’s thoughts): So in this situation… my chance has come!
Lower middle column (Recalling Maimin): You must confess to him before the summer holidays.
3 Different Descriptions (Sakura Ai’s thoughts): But what should I do now...? What should I say to him? How should I start, and where should I begin?
Page 21:
1st bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): Hey....
2nd bubble (Sakura Ai): Yes! I’m sorry!
3rd bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): Hey, I haven’t said anything yet....
4th bubble (Sakura Ai): Ah… I’m sorry….
5th bubble (sakura Ai thoughts): Not again....
6th bubble (Sakura Ai): That isn’t it.…
7th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): Enough already..
8th bubble (Sakura Ai): I’m such a fool…!
9th bubble (Sakura Ai): This time… I’ll definitely say it out.
Page 22:
Right Panel (Sakura Ai’s thought): That is because this time, I’ve decided what I’m gonna tell him.
1st bubble (Sakura Ai’s confession): I like !!!!!
Page 23:
1st bubble (Sakura Ai): .....you....
2nd bubble (Sakura Ai): That’s it!
3rd bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): Hey..Is that all!?
Lowest left panel (Sakura Ai’s thoughts): What was that for? That wasn’t cool, at all.…
Page 24:
1st bubble (Sakura Ai): And yet...I ran away which was not a good move at all...
Description beside the 1st bubble: At this rate, it’s becoming really embarrassing.
2nd bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): Hey, wait..!
3rd bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): Ai !!
4th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): Stop right there!!

2nd bubble (Sakura Ai): Thank you...

4th bubble (Sakura Ai): It’s waterproof, so it should be fine.
5th bubble (Sakura Ai): Hyaaaaaa!!!!
Description at the side of the 5th bubble: Maimin… What’ve you done!
6th bubble (Maimin): I set it as your display picture. (On the Mobile Phone)
7th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): This is unforgivable…
8th bubble (Sakura Ai): Ahhhh...(Lamenting)
Page 26:
1st bubble (Sakura Ai): Please, don’t worry too much about me…
2nd bubble (Tokuzawa): Hey, come on....
3rd bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): You give up too easily and not paying attention to your surroundings..
4th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): You should be more careful in the future...
5th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): For God’s sake…
Page 27:
1st bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): Well, Granny Ai… I guess it can’t be helped.
Lowest right panel (Sakura Ai): Even when I didn’t say it properly...
2nd bubble (Sakura Ai): A little embarrassment didn’t hurt, I guess?
3rd bubble (Sakura Ai): Ehh !?
Page 28:
1st bubble (Maimin): What do you mean, you haven’t received his reply yet?!
2nd bubble (Maimin): What’s more… you still haven’t asked for his address…!
3rd bubble (Sakura Ai): Anyway, he laughed at me again....That is more than enough for me.
4th bubble (Maimin): Well.....I guess at least you did try your very best...
5th bubble (Sakura Ai): I’m already at the limits of my happiness…
6th bubble (Maimin): At this rate, if anything were to happen … I’d still be able to help you out.

Hey, Brian!
I've added my suggestions; it looks really good. I love the care you take with words like "to" and "too;" sloppy people mess those up all the time. Thanks for making my life easier, and for being attentive to small things like that. Let me know if I've gone off the deep end, with any of my suggestions. Good luck in the future!

We were all assigned to clean up the pool, after school.

7th bubble (Random Girl A): But can I have your mail please?
But can I have your email address, please?
8th bubble (Maimin): Hey, you are slow you know.
Hey, you’re falling behind, you know.
Page 8:
1st bubble (Tokuzawa): No way!!
2nd bubble (Random Girl A): Ehh…Why!?
3rd bubble (Maimin): Why, just how many years had he been keeping it a secret from the others who likes him. It seems like it.
Just how long has he managed to keep it a secret from his admirers? Years, I’ll bet.
4th bubble (Random Girl A): You are not friendly // You are cold
That was cold.
5th bubble (Maimin): That is great
6th bubble (Sakura Ai): Sob……
7th bubble (Maimin): Heh...But it is time for you to get fired up don’t you agree!?

9th bubble (Random Guy): Excuse me, please do not chat and do it quickly // Excuse me, stop chatting and do your work quickly.
Excuse me, please stop chatting and do your work quickly.
10th bubble (Maimin): Yesss…
Maimin is drawing out her Ha~~~i to indicate reluctance, right? I’m not sure if you can do that in English. Yesss… sounds a bit like a snake, a hissing sound which suggests strong anger and deep resentment. “Yessss… you arrogant bastard, I’ll do it.” Maybe something softer would be best, to suggest how little she’s motivated by her work?
Yeah, yeah.
Lowest left panel (Sakura Ai’s thoughts): However I am relieved.
Well, I’m relieved.
Page 9:
Upper right Panel (Sakura Ai’s thought’s): Those girls were not able to obtain his mail address.

I’m so glad.
1st bubble (Random Boy A): Sakura –
2nd bubble (Random Boy A): Can you please sprinkle some water at that location? // Can you please use some water on that location?
Sprinkle refers to a very small volume of liquid; the amount that would do if you were watering plants. Would “spray” be more appropriate?
Can you please spray some water over there?
3rd bubble (Sakura Ai): Sure
4th bubble (Maimin):Ai…the water is coming…
Ai… the water’s coming…
5th bubble (Sakura Ai): His hair…….
**Gugu** -- The water travelling through the hose
Glug glug
6th bubble (Sakura Ai’s thoughts): The light causes his hair to glitter….Beautiful….
…how it glitters in the light.… It’s beautiful….
Just a style suggestion; I’ve intentionally used a sentence fragment to suggest how absorbed Ai is by his hair. Note that “…how” is not capitalized, to suggest that it is a continuation of the sentence Ai began with “His hair…”
This is what I mean:
“(Bubble 5)His hair… (Bubble 6) how it glitters in the light.”
It should make a complete sentence, this way.
Also note: There are three periods after his hair, because the sentence is soon to be completed; the ellipsis signifies a pause in this case. Use four periods at the end of the sentence if you want to use an ellipsis.. One period is for the end of the sentence. The other three that come after it are for the ellipsis. “It’s beautiful….”
Related note: Proper punctuation forbids the use of more than one exclamation mark. I’m not sure what the rules are for comics, though. I’m too lazy to bother. I guess it’s a minor sin.

3rd bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): Why did you cry out for?
What did you cry out for?
4th bubble (Sakura Ai): Be…Because I don’t want to look directly at you.
W… Well, I don’t want to look straight at you.
Page 13:
1st bubble (Sakura Ai): I wonder if you might be angry at me as you didn’t say a word.
I was afraid that you were mad at me, since you wouldn’t say a word.

You’re the insensitive one, right?

Huh?
5th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): If you have eyes, do not look away when I am talking to you.
If you’ve got eyes, you shouldn’t look the other way when I’m talking to you.

You’ve avoided making eye contact with me, ever since I started high school.

So that you wouldn’t think that I was angry with you.
5th bubble (Sakura Ai): Why!?
But, why?!
6th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): It was my fault that I created a nickname for you.
It was my fault that you got your nickname.
7th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): Granny Ai.
8th bubble (Sakura Ai): I knew it !!
9th bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): However, talking alone does not makes any differences you know.....
Although talking about it won’t change anything…

Why’d they have to show up?
2nd bubble (Tokuzawa Taiyou): I was idling
I was fooling around.
3rd bubble (Maimin): Scared!?
4th bubble (Sakura Ai): I was too afraid to say anything.
5th bubble (Maimin): Well Ai, anyone would be afraid too.
Well, Ai, anyone would be.
the word “afraid” can be implied from the context, so we don’t need to write it.
6th bubble (Maimin): Moreover, that is more to it Ai.
But there’s more to it, Ai.
7th bubble (Maimin): When facing someone you love, you will become timid.
Facing the one you love will make you timid.
8th bubble (Maimin): Because you wouldn’t want him to hate you right?
Page 17:
1st bubble (Sakura Ai): You really think so Maimin?
2nd bubble (Maimin): You can do it!! You can do it !!
3rd bubble (Maimin): Despite the rumours about Tokuzawa....he is a good guy.
Regardless of what the rumours say about Tokuzawa… he’s a good guy.
4th bubble (Sakura): But I do think that being too honest with him can easily cause some misunderstanding.
But, I still believe that being too honest with him will easily lead to misunderstandings.
5th bubble (Maimin): It looks like you are showing your inferiority to me....
Can you clarify what this means?
Is Maimin saying that Ai’s remark reveals how naïve she is? That her ideas about love suggest that she is inferior to Maimin?
It’s ideas like that, that prove how inexperienced you are.
6th bubble (Sakura Ai): Mutual love is indeed amazing......
Mutual love is truly amazing….
7th bubble (Sakura Ai): In my opinion, I have to love myself before I can love the person I adore and it seems like a miracle.
The way I see it, I have to have to love myself, before I can ever come to love another. It seems miraculous.
8th bubble (Maimin): So it seems....
9th bubble (Maimin): The changes must come from you...and if you don’t change...your wish will never come true.
The changes you desire must come from within… if you don’t change… your wish will never come true.
10th bubble (Maimin): Miracle by itself will not work...right?
Miracles alone will never solve my problems… right?

Page 28:
1st bubble (Maimin): What do you mean you haven’t receive his reply yet!?
What do you mean, you haven’t received his reply yet?!
2nd bubble (Maimin): Furthermore...you haven’t ask for his mail....!
What’s more… you still haven’t asked for his address…!
3rd bubble (Sakura Ai): Anyway, he laughed at me again....That is more than enough for me.
He laughed at me again… That’s more than enough for me.
4th bubble (Maimin): Well.....I guess at least you did try your very best...
5th bubble (Sakura Ai): I am already reaching my happiness limit...
I don’t think I could possibly be any happier.
That’s what I guess the equivalent English expression would be.
This might be more literal:
I’m already at the limits of my happiness…
But in English, when you speak of reaching the limits of your emotions, it’s usually in the context of BAD emotions. If you’ve taken just about all the pain a man can suffer, you’re at “the limits of your endurance.” If somebody’s pissing you off, you’ve reached the “limits of your patience.” We tend not to speak about the limits of happiness, outside of the expression that goes “I couldn’t be any happier!”
6th bubble (Maimin): At this rate, if anything were to happen...I can still help you out.
At this rate, if anything were to happen … I’d still be able to help you out.
