Page 103 Panel 1 Um
As I remember, the first upperclassman I fell for

Was in the same club. She was two years older.

Of course, this was at an all-girl's school.

But she graduated soon after that

No, It's not about school per se, but a novel about that kind of feeling

104-2 You suck

104-3 Nothing can redeem you. No one's gonna comfort you. Nothing's going to go your way.

104-4 I Things like that drop off my tongue so easily as if to say "Look, I'm busy here"

105-1 I'm home

105-2 Whoa
Your posters are gone

105-3 You're no longer a fan?

Well
Yeah

105-4 That's good. I always wondered that you would put up posters like that, to tell the truth

105-5 If it bothered you, you should have said so when I put them up

Well, you know...

106-1 It wasn't a big enough deal to say something

Pssht

Vsshhh

106-2 But if you asked me if I wanted them up or not, I would have said no...

106-3 What's for dinner?

Too much trouble to make it, so I bought something

Just the main dish?

106-4 I cooked rice

Cool

106-5 No date today?

107-1 No,
Well,
Y'see

107-2 Ah, what should I do? Should I tell you now?

What?

107-3 Hmmmm

What is it?

107-4 Good night

Mm

108-1 Um

Yeah?

108-2 Well Yo-chan said...

Yeah?

108-3 He wants to see you, Shino

Oh really?

108-4 He says he's fallen for you

109-1 But there's no way I'd date him!

I thought you'd say that

109-2 I'm not trying to be nice about it, I have someone I like

You do?

I do

109-3 You going out with him?

I'm the only one that feels that way...

109-4 Is that so

'fraid so

109-5 Then it wouldn't work out

Yep, that's true

110-1 So that's how it is, sorry.

110-2 I see

I'm sorry to hear it

110-3 Well, I'll be going

110-4 Um

111-2 No
Um

Never mind

111-4 You want to go eat?

Gimme five minutes

112-1 I wonder how she took it

112-2 She's pretty good at remaining calm, so...

112-3 But he seemed kinda dumb

I bet he thought something like

"Boy, I'm glad that she wasn't all that hurt by it"

112-4 Ah, this sucks

Poor Tamiko

112-5 Let's get lunch

113-1 Today I'll make all of her favorites

113-2 She hates it when I do something like this

113-4 But I want to do something for her

113-5 It's ok! You don't have to do anything special!

113-6 She always puts on a strong front

114-1 But then it can get too much for her and she breaks down

I think that's really cute

114-3 And then I get to hug her tight

114-4 And I can rub her head

114-5 I better buy some of this too...

Two, please

Thank you!

115-1 Chop chop chop

115-2 Shino, they guy you like, what kind of person is he?

115-2 Here it comes

Sometimes a real pain in the ass, but nice. And honest.

Put away the newspapers, ok? And the books.

Chop chop chop

115-3 Oh, "nice" means he's younger, hm?

Same age

Oh?

Chop [emphasize this "chop"]

115-4 Wow, lots of papers

Ow

115-5 String... String...
Someone from work?

Nope

116-1 Ok, then, from where?

Oh wow

116-2 Would you look at that. It's all my favorites

116-3 Oh come on, you don't have to do that

Hehe

116-5 So good...

118-1 What are you playing at?

118-3 It tickles

Uh

Well

118-4 I've been thinking about that thing with Yo-chan

Ah

Yeah?

118-5 Shino, are you in love with me?

119-1 If you're gentle, I'll let you

119-4 This has got to be a dream

If not a dream, it's got to be 'cause she's in turmoil

119-5 Tomorrow

She's absolutely going to regret this

120-1 If that happens, would I be able to stand it?

I doubt it. I'd have to move out.

120-2 And then Tamiko would just say "Whatever"

Aaah, I don't want to think about it

120-4 Spaced out

120-5 Mushrooms, and what was it?

Okra

121-1 Okra
Okra

What was okra again?

This stuff

121-3 Um, miss?

Hey, you're 50 yen short

Ah

121-4 Are you tired?

Yeah

121-5 I guess I'm a bit tired

121-6 I think I'm really scared.
Of being rejected

Whaa?

122-1 Even though I need some support, all I seem to do is put others ahead of me

It wears me down, to tell the truth

122-2 Find a boyfriend

122-3 Clang clang clang

You should be able to do it in a heartbeat.

122-4 I'm going to start being more independent too

122-5 click-clack click-clack

123-1 You're moving out?

123-2 I don't want to hurt people anymore...

123-3 Don't say things like that!

123-5 Don't

Stop

123-6 You always just do it to it to me. Tonight let me do it to you, ok?

123-7 Idiot

124-2 Ah

124-5 I'm going to clutch this happiness to my heart and definitely leave tomorrow

I really don't want to hurt her

125-3 Delish!

It's not that I didn't move out

125-4 It's just that after I moved out, she came tumbling after

And that's how it is
