Ta-da

Ah ----------
clap clap

3
Look at you holding the guitar.

Hey, play something!

4
Chamera!?**

**forum note: Yeah, I don't know what it is. I'm assuming it's a song title, but I can't find anything on it. It seems to be used as slang for camera, or a cute? different? way of saying it, but that doesn't make sense in context. Also seems to be used as a name for a cat, and it's a place in Hawaii. Anyone know?

002

1
Yui, haven't you been practicing at home?

2
Don't tell me you're being neglected?

That's not it!

3
You know when you really treasure something? Cleaning it when it gets dirty,

Looking at yourself posing with it in the mirror, sleeping with it, taking pictures of yourself with it.

4
Admiring yourself from the side, always saying "Oh my god!" when the day is over.

Have you played it.

5
No - because the guitar is so glittery and sparkly.

6
Sounds like you're afraid to touch it...

Oh, I get it, I get it.

7
I see, you haven't even taken the film off the guitar.

8
Yui, by any chance, have you not taken the film off of your cell phone screen?

Amazing!! How did you know!?

tiptoe tiptoe

2
Iiieee - !!

sfx: tear

Oh ---- !?

4
sfx: drip drip

Just....just kidding...

5
written text by Yui: sadness...

text by Ricchan: Oh oh oh oh

6
written text: Hey. It's okay.

So- sorry - it was just a sudden impulse!!

7
Lo-ok! Mugi brought sweets!

That rich girl makes it all better....

8
written text: munch munch

All better ---- !?

004

1
That's right...

Of course I have to play the guitar a lot....

2
If I just treasure the guitar, that's pathetic.

3
Thank you, Ricchan. I'm ready and willing to do it!

Ah?...Ah, is that right?

4
Yeah! I think Yui is going to start practicing the guitar! Just as I expected.....

sfx: screech

Tune it.

5
At any rate, these sweets are super tasty.

written text: Ah..aah...

6
Mugi-chan, is it okay that you always bring these expensive-looking sweets?

7
It's okay. We're always receiving them in various ways, however...

They're always dropped off at our house. And since we have more than we can finish, it's better if I bring them for everyone to eat.

8
We receive too many sweets from various people at our house. What kind of house is that!?

What kind of house --- !?


005

1
Come to think of it, how does the sound come out of the guitar, like during a concert?

2
Oh, if we connect to the amp the sound comes out.

Want to see it connected?

3
Ah --- !! Cool -- !!

4
But I still can't even play Chamera.

5
The amp sound is ringing. I guess I should practice a little more...

oh ho ho...

6
Oh - ! Yui, watch out - !!

Huh?

gulp

7
dramatic effect noise!

8
You have to turn the amp volume down before you unplug the chord. You'll get it....
written text: you okay?

You...you could have told me that earlier.

006

1
The guitar chords are scary --

2
Since the neck is thin and hard, you need keen** fingers.

**translator's note: the character/word for "keen" is the same as the word for "cut"

sfx: ping

3
I got it -- if you're not careful you'll cut off your fingers and blood will gush out...

Aaah -----!!

4
Why are you screaming, Mio?

Tha- that painful talk is no good.

text by Yui: cute screaming
text by Mio: drop drop

5
If you practice the guitar your fingers will become calloused.

written text: Oho -

There should be no blood coming out.

6
Look
written text: but they're from the bass

Wow, really.

7
press press

8
Uh...Yui?

Just a little bit more.

press press press press press

007

1
You said to practice the guitar.

But how the heck do I start? I don't understand.

2
For now, concentrate on remembering the chords.

Wow, thanks.

4
First of all, please teach me how to read music.

sfx: ughhhhhhh

We have to start from there!?

5
Well then, see you tomorrow.

7
Yui ----!

8
Oh! Nodoka-chan!

sfx: gaaa!

What's with the new greeting?

008

1
Heey, today I got a lesson in guitar chords.

Oh - keep up the good work.

2
Say, Nodoka-chan, aren't you coming home late today?

Yeah, I was studying for midterms in the library.

Wow --

3
trudge trudge

4
Huh!? Midterms!?

....in addition to your chords?

sfx: whip

5
So....midterms too....

Ah....

6
SInce I'm practicing hard at the guitar, I thought that...

7
.....don't tell me you haven't studied for exams at all until now.

8
So -- it's going to be okay, right?

No...it's not going to be okay....
