Saito Youko and

Saito Ichika

Relations between them finally broke down

Or so I thought.... But seems it was just me... [text in black bar]

004-2 Hahaha

Ahahaha

Ahahaha...

005-1 Oh, come on! Stay still!

I can't measure you like this

005-2 sfx: Kya Kya

But it tickles!

005-3 Minori-chan!

Welcome back!

005-4 Ah...
Youko's waist should be in the neighborhood of 70cm [27 inches]

What are you saying!?

006-1 Owowowow

Don't you lie!

006-2 It's not like

006-3 I wanted to see

A catfight or anything, but

Would a two layer skirt be ok?

That's perfect!

006-4 But this's anti-climactic...

Women

Sure become friends fast, huh?

006-5 Friends!?

007-1 ...aren't the two of you...?

Ah...

No...

I've never had a female friend!

007-2 I don't even know what a female friend would be like

007-3 Talking together in the classroom? Eating together and stuff..?

When schools over, you don't see each other anymore

007-4 To call that friendship would be a little much, hm?

Right!

008-2 Strange

I don't even get a single new year's postcard [Sending New Year's post cards to friends and acquaintances in standard practice in Japan]

Oh, wow

008-4 I thought they had nothing in common

Better yet

008-5 I thought they were complete opposites

009-1 So why...

Am I starting to see them overlap...?

009-2 Nga

10-1 Ichika-chaaaan

I reaaally want some coffee

10-2 Ok, ok

10-3 Youko is the same as always
Or should I say

She's getting more work lately and seems busy

Make it really strong, okay?

10-4 And Ichika

Takes care of Youko almost like her mother

11-1 But...

Natsukawa-san?
How about you?

Ah... No...

11-2 After drinking this, I'm going to bed...

11-5 What about you?

Eh?

11-6 Together...

Aren't you going to bed?

11-7 Ah...

12-1 Ah...
Um...

Well...

12-2 I...

Coming!

13-1 What? At this time?

It's Youko's editor
Here for a meeting, it seems

13-2 A meeting!?

13-3 But it's already after 11!

Na
Natsukawa-san?

It's not critical, right!?

13-4 Tell them not to come at this hour!

Why are you yelling!?

He's gonna hear you!

14-1 Look, you...

Hey, Minori-chan?

14-2 I'm just a rookie here!

I'm just thankful that they
are even coming over here!

14-3 Natsukawa-san!

Why don't you go on to bed

14-4 Right? You have have work tomorrow

14-5 I'll make sure they don't get noisy, ok?

be

15-1 Ban

15-3 Could it be that...

She's avoiding the situation...?

15-4 "Well, that's how it is, right?"

16-1 "After all"

"We didn't start out dating each other or anything"

16-2 Since she said that

Things have been somehow awkward between us

Good evening

Thanks for coming

16-3 Now the situation is

Ah, please don't bother

Ichika's been joined at the hip with Youko
There hasn't been any chance for the two of us to be alone

16-4 Coffee is ok, right?

No...
If I come right out and say it...

17-1 I havent' touched her

In a really long time

17-3 Am I...

Really such a needy guy?

18-1 Hey, Ichika

Be a little nicer to Minori-chan

18-2 Wha...

18-3 I'm not trying to be cold to him...

Don't hold back on my account

18-4 Strike while the iron is hot, I always say

19-1 "Strike"...

He's been in a bad mood lately
That's bad news all around

It's like male hysteria!

Blue balls!

19-3 I...

19-4 I've always
be the one to chase after someone

I've never had someone love me...

20-1 Oh my
Not even your guy before?

Mm-Nnn

20-2 I've had them attached to me, but...

20-3 Isn't that love too?

Natsukawa-san's so nice

I start expecting odd things
It's embarrassing

20-4 Awkward, maybe?

I know

That I shouldn't be this fickle...

21-1 But I don't know how to face him...

21-4 Hey!

You're here early, Natsukawa

22-1 Yeah

22-2 Since it's so hot
Must be that...

Yeah

Yup yup

You get up early to beat the rush

Yeah

That's probably better for your health, hm?

Yeah...

22-3 gori gori

22-4 I wouldn't call myself
A stoic kind of guy, but

I considered myself on the indifferent side

22-5 But!

ko...

23-1 I was sorely mistaken

No, but

I'm a guy after all, and...

23-2 Natsukawa-san

23-3 You have a call

Huh?

Ah, he went to to call on clients

24-1 Just how much is my urges

Just how much is love

I can't tell

24-1 How was I...

Back then?

It feels like I knew back then, but

25-1 But that I've forgotten

25-2 pin pon

25-4 Coming!

...Youko...

26-1 Just what time do you think it is?

Ah
Don't worry, Minori-chan

I'm going out to have my meeting

26-2 Youko!

26-3 So what am I supposed to do?

I'm the one who has a flexible schedule

26-4 It's only proper that I meet his availability

So do it tomorrow!

27-1 Have him come at a more proper time tomorrow!

Ah, geez!
Shut your trap already!

You old fart!

27-2 Old...

27-3 If I'm an old fart, you're an old bag!

Whatever

Old bags don't have to worry about getting assaulted

27-4 Since you won't shut up

I'm going out!
