BUBBLE1: I'm really sorry about this! This is creepy, isn't it!? Makes you want to run away, right!?
BUBBLE2: But I never expected THE Shiina Kokoro to ever enter my apartment!
BUBBLE3: No... No, I wasn't thinking that at all.
BUBBLE4: Really!

BUBBLE5: Knowing that someone out there is collecting my things... well, it really makes me happy.
BUBBLE6: So much so, that I feel a little sorry, actually...
BUBBLE7: I mean, even if I weren't around, there are still plenty of successful idols out there...
BUBBLE8: What're you saying!?

04:
BUBBLE1: I'm YOUR fan, Kokoro-san!!

BUBBLE2: ...J-Just hearing that lifts my spirits.
TEXT1: A-Ah!
BUBBLE3: Sorry! I just got so worked up, you see...
BUBBLE4: Please ignore that.

BUBBLE5: ...
BUBBLE6: At the very least, I would like to start working again...
BUBBLE7: but, with the way I am now, that's impossible... I'm very sorry.

BUBBLE8: Kokoro-san...

05:
BUBBLE1: However... just knowing that I have a fan like you, Taichi-san...
BUBBLE2: It's nice to know that all my work wasn't in vain.

BUBBLE3: I... I knew it.
BUBBLE4: She IS an angel!

BUBBLE5: And this angel...
BUBBLE6: is in my apartment!

06:
BUBBLE1: I'll air out the room a little...
BUBBLE2: My place is kind of musty....

BUBBLE3: I feel like I'm dreaming...

BUBBLE4: What a retro apartment.

BUBBLE5: I-In the meantime, I'll stash away any dirty magazines that're lying around.

BUBBLE6: I wish that incident with the shinigami was a dream...

07:
BUBBLE1: Ya got six months left...

BUBBLE2: I... don't want to think about that now.

BUBBLE3: Look, Taichi-san!

08:
BUBBLE1: Look at these clothes...

BUBBLE2: Th-That's...
BUBBLE3: That's the uniform you wore when you were nominated in Young Jump's Uniform Collection...!

BUBBLE4: All I did...
BUBBLE5: was touch this with my hand, thinking about how much I wanted to wear this outfit.

BUBBLE6: Like this...

09:
BUBBLE1: "I want to wear this..."
BUBBLE2: And, all of a sudden--

BUBBLE3: Wh-Whoa, be careful!!
BUBBLE4: Hmm?
BUBBLE5: Br-Bre--
SMALL TEXT: The words won't come out!

BUBBLE6: Kyaaaaa!

10:
BUBBLE1: Phew...
BUBBLE2: That was a shock!

BUBBLE3: I'll be more careful from now on, seeing as how we're going to be living together.
BUBBLE4: Y-Yeah...

BUBBLE5: Um... I'm sure I'll just get in the way while I'm here,
BUBBLE6: so, if there's anything I can do, please let me know.
BUBBLE7: Cleaning the room, for example...

11:
BUBBLE1: There's no way I'd let you do something like that!

BUBBLE2: Then, let's work together.
BUBBLE3: That shouldn't be a problem.
BUBBLE4: Right? ♡

BUBBLE5: "Right? ♡" She says...
BUBBLE6: I can't believe I'll get to spend everyday like this... ♡
BUBBLE7: Whoa...

BUBBLE8: Oh, wow!
BUBBLE9: You only have magazines that I've appeared in. I'm a little embarrassed...
BUBBLE10: Of course. I'm your fan, Kokoro-san!

BUBBLE11: ...!!!

12:
BUBBLE1: What..!?
BUBBLE2: Oh, right. I did do a job like this, huh?
BUBBLE3: My angel's let her guard down!

BUBBLE4: No! Stop looking!!

BUBBLE5: ...

13:
BUBBLE1: Taichi-san? Is something the matter?

BUBBLE2: Ahhhh!
BUBBLE3: I wasn't looking! I wasn't looking!
BUBBLE4: Honest!

BUBBLE5: I could see at first, but that was just an accident! I couldn't control it! I wasn't looking, I promise you!
BUBBLE6: What are you talking about? What could you see?

BUBBLE7: Kokoro-san! You need to stop letting your guard down!
BUBBLE8: Um... all right?

14:
BUBBLE1: Whew... We cleaned up quite a bit.
BUBBLE2: Are you sure we should've taken down some of those posters?
BUBBLE3: Man... I'm beat...

BUBBLE4: Being with Kokoro-san makes me happy...
BUBBLE5: but, I can't seem to calm down around her...

BUBBLE6: Ahh... such a nice breeze...
BUBBLE7: Hold on... If we're supposed to be stuck together all the time...

BUBBLE8: What am I going to do
BUBBLE9: I'm not looking, I promise you!
BUBBLE10: Uggh...
BUBBLE11: when I need to bathe or use the toilet!?

BUBBLE12: Taichi-san...

15:
BUBBLE1: I know that I may be a lot of trouble for you in the future...
BUBBLE2: But, right now, you're the only one I can depend on.
BUBBLE3: So... please forgive me, okay?

BUBBLE4: She can rely on me...
BUBBLE5: Kokoro-san...!!

16:
BOX1: That's right.
BUBBLE1: You're going into the bath house, too?
BUBBLE2: That's right. I know I don't have a body, but I really want to try out a public bath.

BOX2: Even if I'm completely over the moon being so close to Kokoro-san,
BUBBLE3: Huh...

BOX3: we're still going to die in six months.

BUBBLE4: She's probably naked right now...

17:
BOX1: I know this is serious, but I don't know what I should be doing right now.
BUBBLE1: Damn, I'm turned on now...

BUBBLE2: Taichi-san, this bath house is wide! I really enjoyed myself!
BUBBLE3: That's great...

BUBBLE4: Well,
BUBBLE5: let's go home.

BUBBLE6: Okay...
BUBBLE7: But...

BUBBLE8: There's got to be some good coming out of this...

18:
BOX1: I don't know if I should be pleased about this situation or not...
BOX2: Even though I'm nothing but nervous when I think about the future,
BOX3: the first time I saw Kokoro-san's sleeping face, I thought it was the cutest face I've ever seen.

BOX4: I definitely didn't get much sleep that night.
BUBBLE1: She sleeps, but she doesn't have a body...
TEXT1: I want to look at her face like this forever...
