page 1

panel) Everyone is getting thier full of summer together!
title) Chain of light.

page 2

panel1) My... // right leg! // She messed up on the landing of a double axel? // HURTS!!
panel2) Did it happen then?
b1) Are you alright Oosawa-san?
panel3) tsk...
panel4) I've finally made it to the 6th class test, // I'm not going to let something like this bother me!

page 3

b1) I'm fine, thanks.
b2) Really? If so, continue.
b3) Oh, she's starting over again.
b4) Her speed is really something, but wil she be alright?

page 5

b1) OSU!!!

page 6

b1) hungggghhhhh!
panel1) I knew it, she hurt her right leg.
b2) Oosawa-san, you're...
b3) Excuse me!
b4) I need to go check her out, can you grant us a little time please?
b5) Whoa! Hey!
b6) You're free to do that, but...
b7) Thank you.
b8) H-hey wait! I'll get the axel down this time!
b9) Be quiet!

page 7

b1) I see now,
b2) you tried to force the landing with your shout just now because you hurt your foot.
b3) You are crazy, you know.
b4) hehe
b5) Wait a bit, I'll tape that up for you.
b6) Thank you.
panel sfx.) fuu(x2)
b7) Why don't you just give up?

page 8

b1) With your leg like that, you won't pass the test.
b2) Dummy,
b3) a little bruise like this won't force me to give up.
b4) If you keep forcing the issue, simply skating will be too painful.
b5) Because she understood that Saaya ran away, you should follow her example.
b6) Why do you keep on saying that?
b7) She didn't run from anything!
b8) YES SHE DID!!

page 9

b1) If she was really trying to be the best, staying here while aiming for the world was her best course of action!
b2) However, after a little wound like that, // she ran to some unknown rink, ran away from this rink, ran away from me!
b3) Ohhh.... You're the one...
panel) Someone that practiced on the same rink she did gave her a wound on her right leg that took 3 months to heal.

page 10

b1) No matter what you try to say
b2) about her,
b3) Katakura,
b4) is quite strong.
b5) I said something really awful to her.
b6) It was something that never should've left my lips.
b7) Ahh!
b8) Just thinking about it makes me feel bad!
b9) I never knew I was such a bitch!
b10) I wish the me of then would just die!
b11) Apologize with your death!

page 11

b1) I know where you're coming from.
b2) What it boils down to, is you hate her too.
b3) Probably.
b4) But you know,
b5) after I went and apologized to her, she said this:
b6) Hurry up and practice, n00b!
b7) I thought she was pretty cool, whether it was someone else, or herself,
b8) all that was in her head was ice skating.

page 12

b1) I can't tell you the reason she left here, but
b2) I can tell you this, her feelings toward figure skating are stronger than anyone else's!
b3) I can't help by try my hardest to catch up to her.
b4) So something like this isn't going to keep me down.
b5) hmph.
b6) Whatever, do what you want.
b7) Oh yeah, // if you're going to stay here, cheer for me will okay?

page 13

b1) Get serious! I don't care what happens to you!
b2) Whoa, that's harsh.
panel1) Whether it was someone else, or herself, // all that's in her head is ice skating.
panel2) Okay,
panel3) after I said all that, // it's time to live up to my words!

page 15

panel1) Whoa! // She's good!
panel2) Masaki is doing great! // Now that her leg is injured, she's concentrating like she never did before!
panel3) The pain she gets from those kicks and lands // should be enough to make her scream...

page 16

b1) A triple loop! That was well done Katakura-san!

page 17

b1) I'm sure you'll be #1 soon!
panel1) It's Saaya again. // Right. // tsk. // She learns techniques so easily it was hard to get a gauge on just how good she was.
panel2) She's 2 years younger than me,
panel3) but I don't think I can beat her.
panel4) When she reaches the age where she can compete in the jr's, // she'll be able to compete directly against me...
b2) Mika is definitely the best.
b3) Right.

page 18

panel) That's right, // I was the best.
b1) kyaah!
b2) ugh...
b3) What have I done? I didn't even realize someone else was there!
b4) I'm sorry,
b5) are you al...

page 19

panel1) Saaya!
panel2) This is serious, she's bleeding!! // What should I do!
b1) This is nothing serious.
b2) Let's con... // tinue prac...tice...

page 20

b1) ...yo...
b2) You're younger than I am...
b3) Yet you're worrying about me in this situation? // You know that I've been in a slump lately right? // Is that why you're acting like this?
b4) I wish you could never skate again...
b5) I really wish
b6) you couldn't skate again!
b7) Why are you always in front of me? // Why are you always getting in my way? // Go away! Just disappear and never come back!

page 21

b1) Do your best miss!
b2) Osu!
b3) hngggghhh
panel1) Kaoru, // Katakura.
panel2) the 6th // class test,

page 22

panel1) I'll definitely pass it!!
panel sfx.1) Yay! // clap(x5)
panel2) I'm sure she was in a lot of pain, but she didn't show a hint of it. // I'm proud of you Masaki.
panel sfx.2) clap(x4)
panel3) She's facing Saaya head on.

page 23

panel1) I'm the one who needs to follow her lead.
panel2) It wouldn't be right if I kept on running from Saaya.
b1) Oosawa-san, I didn't think you'd be able to, but
b2) you passed the test!

page 24

b1) Alright!!!
b2) I'm really surprised at how quickly you've come this far.
b3) Also, I'm surprised you made it through on that leg.
b4) However, // your performance is still nothing but a sport.
b5) huh?
b6) Figure skating is art on ice.
b7) And since it's art, you need to present something to the audience.
b8) Present something...
b9) You know like in movies when the actor gets his feelings across to the audience, the response is good right?
b0) Being able to do the same thing on ice is what figure skating is all about.

page 25

panel) Skating while trying to get // my feelings across.
b1) Okay! This time I was so concerned about passing the test, it didn't occur to me!
b2) But I guess that's how things are normally done!
b3) fufufu
b4) Your feelings of wanting to pass the test got across to all of us,
b5) but that's not good enough.
b6) If you're always thinking of what it is you'd like to get across to your audience,
b7) then you'll be able to do better than you did today.
b8) I got it,
b9) Thanks!

page 26

b1) Wait here while I go get us a taxi.
b2) Thanks coach!
b3) Now to report to Kaoru!
b4) You were a lot better than I imagined you'd be,
b5) Oosawa Masaki.
b6) ehehe!
b7) I was just complimented by the #1 jr. in Japan!

page 27

b1) Would you...
b2) apologize to Saaya for me...
b3) Tell her that I didn't injure her on purpose.
b4) Also what I said at that time,
b5) I still regret it to this day!
b6) Please tell her all that for me.
b7) Hell no.
panel) wha?

page 28

b1) Katakura will be in the All Japan jr. tournament.
b2) So you can tell her yourself then!
b3) Fine.
b4) By the way, I'll also be there.
b5) WHHAAA!?
b6) What's with that reaction? I just got the 6th class license!
b7) You mean you don't know?

page 29

b1) Even if you're in the 6th class, unless you've done a preliminary tournament, you can't compete.
b2) WHHHAAAAAT? Are there any prelims still around?
b3) Well in your case you'd first need to go the one in Tokyo, then the east Japan tournament.
b4) I-I have to do two fo them!?
b5) How much is the All Japan jr. tournament going to make me suffer?
b6) A-anyway, I need to tell Kaoru the good news!
b7) I - passed - the // test!
b8) When you say Kaoru, do you mean Tachibana Kaoru?
b9) You know him?
b10) Way to go Kaoru, people all over the country know about you!!
b11) You've only met him recently right?
b12) uh.. welll... um...
b13) How do you know?

page 30

b1) He...
b2) Masaki, hurry it up! The bullet train will leave us behind!
b3) Okay, I'm coming!
b4) See you later Mika!
b5) Who said you could call me that!?
panel) Okay, // here I come All Japan jr.!!
