Chapter 33
Ah... Junior High Students

175-1 Hey, Didya know?
Over at West Junior High...

175-2 It's really rough over there

175-3 Nothing but delinquents...

"Delinquents"?

Dunno

You're lying!

175-4 My big brother goes there! That's not true!

Your brother just doesn't know

175-5 And it's sex there all the time~~~!

You're gonna get tripped and felt up!

175-6 You're an asshole!

176-1 Scary, if true...

No way

176-2 My class is saying that too. Well, some of them...

No way

176-5 Hello...

Hi...

176-8 Ah geez...

177-1 It would be nice if she was in a different class at least

Yeah...

177-2 Are we gonna graduate with everyone like this...?

177-3 Nitori

177-4 What!?
That's a stupid rumor

177-5 I would have never gone there if it was true

Yeah. That's right...

177-6 Worried?

...yeah

177-8 Ok, let's ask Seiya

178-1 Our school? Full of delinquents?

178-2 There's nothing like that...

You don't have to worry about it

178-4 You're too mean

178-6 There's that stuff with your brother, so why do you make me see him?

178-7 You're still worked up about it

179-1 That's not it!

Wah!

whack

trip

179-2 Grab

179-3 Ah~~!
It's Seiya and Maho!

179-4 Woo woo

Hey, hey!
Must be nice! All that dating!

You like to watch or what?

179-6 I really love you Nitori

179-7 Always have, that is to say, from before

Yeah, that thing happened, but...

180-1 Shuu should have been a girl...

Then I would be able to give up

180-2 I don't know. Maybe I couldn't
I'm just a bad person

Nitori...

181-1 Let's go

Yeah

181-2 Can we hold hands?

181-3 Yeah

181-6 To Nitori-kun

181-7 It made me really happy when you told me you loved me

181-8 But I don't know what love is all about yet.

That's why I can't return your feelings.

182-1 I'm sorry.

You crying?

182-2 You're hiding something!

182-3 Gimme!

No...
No way...

182-5 Hey! Settle down you two!

183-1 Shuu... you hit me...

183-2 Dummy...

183-3 Sorry...

183-6 I really am a bad person...

183-7 It's sad that Shuu got turned down

But for a moment, I was relieved

183-8 What is going on?

Why...?

184-1 Eh...?

184-2 You still haven't thrown that letter away?

Yeah...

184-3 I just can't throw letters away

And that's not a normal letter, hm?

184-5 But man, your sister is a real bitch
She's got no sense of delicacy

184-6 You know where Sasa-chan is?

Eh? Bathroom, maybe?

184-7 Ah, I saw her when I got here. Nurse's office.

184-8 Is Chiba-san here...?

185-1 Nurse

18-52 Sasa-chan... you don't have to come here anymore

Eh?
Why? I can't?

185-3 But I'm taking up all your time

185-4 I'm sorry too. I'm friends with both of you

Don't worry about that!

186-1 Um, Takatsuki-kun

186-2 Chiba-san's here, right?

Yeah...

Don't worry about it. I'll go home with Mi-chan and the others

186-3 If I leave her alone, Saorin will really have nobody
So...

186-4 No, I'm sorry. I'm always...

Don't worry about it...

186-5 Bye bye

Bye bye

187-1 To Nitori-kun

187-3 I can't just keep re-reading this forever!
I've got to move on!

187-4 Clench

187-5 Riiip

187-6 G-goodbye...!

188-1 Do you think I can still keep her as a friend?

Eh?

Nitorin, you're still pretty attached

188-2 Ahhh Humm
Sure sure.
If everyone stays mad like this, we'll have nothing but regrets
So, why not?

188-3 It's about time for Chiba-san and Takatsuki-san to make up

188-4 Sasa [sign]

Sasa-chan

188-6 Ah, Yoshino-chan! Good morning!

Good morning!

189-1 Kanako came down with a cold

189-3 Thanks for coming by, but...

189-7 Wha?

189-8 So, look

I don't know if it's my fault she's sick

189-9 But I've been nothing but trouble to her
and she was really down yesterday...

190-1 So, for Sasa-chan's sake, let's make up

You can have Sasa-chan

190-2 I don't want responsibility for her

190-3 Tell Sasa-chan that I'm fine being alone

So you don't want to make up at all...

190-4 Well!
Excuse me for trying!

190-5 slide
Slam

190-6 That's right...

191-1 That's not really making up...

191-2 So, it's gotten worse...

...yeah

191-3 And that's what happened...

...really

191-4 I hope Sasa-chan get's well soon

191-5 See you

192-1 Good night!

194-5 Ka-na-ko!

Uwaah

194-6 Wait wait wait wait

It's ok, Kana-chan, don't stress

194-7 Whump whump

Do I look weird?

You look fine

194-1 Sorry to make you wait!

You look cute in your uniform

I'm sorry! She's always like this!

194-2 I wish I was tall like Takatsuki-kun

194-3 Really!

Yoshino-chan's got style and is cool, too!

Uh, no...
I'm not...

194-5 I want to let Nitori-kun wear this

And then

194-6 To go off somewhere again. The two of us.

195-1 I don't want my picture taken

Too bad

195-2 Grampa and grandma took lots of pictures at their place

But those were all with grampa's camera

Ok, smile

195-3 You want me to smile...?

195-4 Ok, Cheee
