It's a trick!

34-1 I knew it at first glance

34-2 That this person

Was someone important to Natsukawa-san...

35-1 What the hell happened to you!?

35-2 Eh...

That's awful!

Who did that to you!?

35-3 Hey!
Youko!?

Oh, come on! No matter how you look at it, someone did that to her...

35-4 So she's called Youko-san

This isn't something you go shouting about in a place like this!!

35-5 Volume dropping [handwritten]

You're calling everyone's attention to us!

36-1 Ah...

36-4 Come in?

It's a bit messy, though...

37-1 Sorry to impose on you like this...

It's ok...

37-2 Is coffee ok?

Ah!

I'll make it!

37-3 Just let me borrow your kitchen a bit

37-5 Please?

37-6 Yeah...

38-1 Um, Natsukawa-san...?
I won't say anything about us

So please don't worry

38-3 Oh my my...

That's a strange expression...

38-4 So even he

Gets expressions like that...

Giggle giggle

39-1 So

Sorry to be so blunt, but

39-2 Don't you think you had better go to the police about that?

I mean, it's obvious someone did that to you

39-3 Ah, you figured it out?

It's nothing to laugh about!
People have been killed like that!

39-4 How can you, of all people say that?

You've gotta think of your own safety!

40-1 If things escalate from here...

Ah,
No

I don't think that's going to happen

40-2 sfx: nikori

I gave it back to him at least three times worse!

40-3 No fucking way!

40-4 There are limits to a woman's strength

Er, or what I meant was, um...

sfx: bu

40-5 "I don't love you anymore"

That's what I told him...

41-1 So that's why

Maybe

I hurt him three times as badly as he hurt me. I think.

41-2 Um...
So that's why

This is already over and done with...

41-3 Ah...

I'm sorry
She is always putting her nose in other people's business

41-4 "Putting my nose in"!? When do I...

Always! Always!

41-5 You evil S.O.B.!

sfx: hitete

42-1 These two...
They're so good together

Charming...

42-2 Frank...

Pure...

Make's me jealous...

Ah

But

Doesn't that injury make things difficult?

42-3 Yes...

I'm having to take time off work

42-4 I'm thinking of moving
But I can't save up the money

Oh, so you're moving then?

42-5 It's embarrassing to talk about, but
I can't make the rent on this place by myself...

sfx: fuki fuki

43-1 If that's the case, move in with us

Right? [handwritten]

You goddamned idiot! What the fuck are you saying!?

43-2 Don't just going making decisions

About my place!

43-3 Just like you don't wipe your dirty hands on other people's clothes!

sfx: ugaa

43-4 What's the problem? Keeping one person or two, it's all the same, right?

44-1 "Keeping"...?

Oh, so the two of you are living together?

Look, I'm serious about this, okay?
sfx: bu

44-2 You give it serious thought too!

There's no way!?

In a six-mat, one room apartment!? Three people!? [Japanese rooms are measured in tatami floor mats. A standard six-mat, one room apartment is about 9' x 12'. Their apartment really is one single room with tiny kitchen and bath areas. ]

We'll be sardines!!

44-5 Well, if you want a bigger place...

45-3 ...if a 2DK will do... [2DK stands for 2 six-mat rooms, a Dining area and a Kitchen. A typical condo/apartment layout. Still small by American standards.]

45-4 If this place will do... how about it?

46-1 Why is it that I think

A guy who loves someone else is so attractive?

46-2 Perfect!

That's totally perfect!

46-3 You must be joking!

47-1 Trying as hard as he can

47-2 What are you talking about!?

This is too crazy!

47-3 Um... No, it's...

I was just thinking out loud...

I'm totally serious!

47-4 Somehow gallant

and cute...

47-5 If you want to live together that badly

You two can just live together!

47-6 You know I can't do that

I don't have any income, after all

48-1 sfx: gu gu

48-4 And unbelievably gentle...

49-5 You're nice, Natsukawa-san

50-1 Okay, then!

I'm going to go ahead and look around the new place!

50-2 Um... Natsukawa-san?

It's ok, I wasn't serious

sfx: gutari

50-3 I mean, after all...

Ah, this is an empty room

You two are living together

50-4 I'd just be in the way...

Ah!

51-1 A sewing machine!

Is this for work?

51-2 Ah...

Yes, I use that for work...

The one further back is a serger

Hmmm

51-3 That was there, huh?

I didn't notice it the last time I was here

52-1 Oho?

Minori-chan, you've been here before?

52-2 Yeah

I have

52-3 Hmmph

52-4 Ah!

Yay! The balcony's wide!

53-1 You seem to be under a mis-apprehension, so let me get this clear

53-2 Me and her

We don't have that kind of relationship

53-4 Ah...

Ah!

53-5 So it's one-sided on your part, Natsukawa-san!

54-2 Oh my my, again...

A strange expression...

54-3 Hehe

Somehow, I get the feeling that it's going to get interesting around here!
