Love is for those over 30 [upper left]

Yamada Yuu. 23 years old. Employed 2 years.

Uehara Sakura. 30 years old. Employed 12 years.

Is their love... at the high school level? [on right]

Love and Sex are at their peak at 30

A love comedy writhing in pleasure and embarrassment

2-1 On our precious day off together

Just why

2-2 Would the two of us

Be wasting time at a family restaurant?

Come on and tell meee
About your high school days

2-3 Well, um...

It's not...

Why do you want to hear old high school stories anyway?

2-4 Actually, our objective
Our favorite love hotel room

Well, we're waiting for it to open up...

2-5 I mean, c'mon!
You must have been cute in a sailor suit!

Just what are you imagining here!?

2-6 I bet the boys just couldn't leave you alone!!

Really! I'm not bothered by your old boyfriends, so
Tell me please!

sfx: whap

3-1 Well, maybe

Dammit!
You asshole, Yamada!
Recently...

I've got to show him the stuff of a 30 year old!

He's started to learn how to mess with me. Seriously now...

Man, Yamada really is...

sfx: sip

3-2 Yamada is...

8 years younger than me
He was a modern high schooler....
and he's kinda cute...

But he did less than us? Less?

The hotel is sure slow in contacting us...
Maybe the current guests extended their stay?

3-3 ...kiss

he must have...
Right?

How about a refil?

A... Ah!
Yes, please

Ok

3-4 Well...

3-5 Whatever

I mean, he was a virgin all that time
Must not have been popular

3-6 Oh my!
Sakura!?

4-1 Tamaki!?

Oh, my, god! Sakura! It's been forever!
Since our reunion 4 years ago?

What a coincidence! How are you doing?
...but Sakura, you haven't changed at all since high school...

4-2 Wha?
...eh?

Listen, listen!
This is perfect timing!

It just happens that we've got a high school get together just over there!

People from high school?

This... this could be bad!
If they should find about Yamada...

Sakura, you should come!
Ok? You'll come, right?

4-3 Huh?

Ah

4-4 Oh! What a hunk!

Eh? Sakura
He's...?

4-5 You're subordinant?
Business partner?

...no

Yeah, you'd think that
From our age difference

5-1 I'm Sakura's lover

Nice to meet you. My name is Yamada Yuu!

...Ah...

5-2 N-nice to meet you! I'm Murada Tamaki

Eh?

Sakura's...?

Eeeeh?

5-3 So

You're Sakura's friend from high school?

Oh crap

5-4 They are so going to mess with us...

But she's also happy to be called his lover

5-5 Ow!

...Jerkoff!!

sfx: crunch

5-6 Ok, so you both have to come!
I'll introduce you to everyone!

6-1 [top panel goes across to page 7]

Sakura! Haven't seen you in ages!

Wow, Uehara, you haven't changed at all

He's so cute!

Eh? Eh?
Who's the young guy? Who?

Sakura's lover!
Whaaat!?

Hey! Hey! Sit over here!

Come right here

Kya!
I love young guys

Oh shit
They haven't changed their personalities at all either...

6-2 Hey! Sakura!

Where did you catch this one!?

Yeah! That's right!

Oh wow, smells so good

sfx: squish

6-3 H-he's my subordinate at work!

Oh?
How long have you been going out?

sfx: glare glare

6-4 Ah, um...

sfx: squish

6-5 "going out"...?
Well...
It's not quite like that...

Really?

She's married!

You asshole!

sfx: yank

7-2 Oh, then
From when you first did it?

Eh?

Um

sfx: whud

7-3 Ah, it's been half a year

Wow! That means after Sakura turned 30?

Wooow!

7-4 Sakura! You rock!
How did you pull it off?

7-5 I...
I went after her

Whaaaa

8-1 You went after her!?

Shame on you, Yamada!

8-2 Even though Sakura's over 30, she's still naive!
If you're just playing around with her, we won't forgive you!

No!

...don't just go shooting off your mouth...

Well I don't have much experience [handwritten]

8-3 "Playing around"...?

Until I met Sakura...

I had zero experience in love

8-4 Seriously!?

Even though you're young and handsome!?

Sure looks like you play around, though

8-5 I went to boy's schools...

And in college I was totally involved with my club, so...

So that's why...
Sakura is my first

Don't call me your first

9-1 So
You were a pair of virgins!
Weren't you?
Wow!

You really scored!
I'm rooting for you Sakura!

Sorry about this [handwritten]

Isn't Sakura a lot to handle?

No, not at all... [handwritten]

They're all looking down on me...
Totally making fun of me!!

Come on. I've learned already.
The sex, too!

9-2 Mm?

Ah... um

sfx: glance

9-3 Um... well
I want to ask you...
Well, were kinda talking about it anyway

Shit

Back in high school, I guess that...

9-4 Sakura

Must have been popular, huh?

sfx: sppppff

9-5 Ow

J-just what are you asking!?

sfx: grind grind

9-6 Popular?

Sakura...?

10-1 No way! Not at all!
Not with the boys, anyway

Yeah, yeah! She was always alone in the corner of the room

Reading books by Nakahara Chuuse

Stop! Right! Now!

10-2 Hmm

Really?

Wha?

Hot [handwritten]

Huff Huff

10-3 So

You didn't have a boyfriend

What's with you, Yamada?

10-4 What with that smile?

...you piss me off

idiot

10-5 Huh?

But Sakura's not a virgin, right?

There was Mori-sempai, right?

11-1 Ah... right

I forgot about Mori

Yeah, there was that

11-3 Ah...

11-4 Um!
Um!

Who was Mori-san?

11-5 Ah!?

Moron!

Nothing!!

It one of those everyday stories
...that's going to make you more worried, huh?

11-6 Sakura, is it ok?

Yeah...

11-7 Go ahead

11-8 It was really long ago

There's no thing to hide

Nothing

It was the graduation trip... more than 10 years ago already

12-1 It was us here
And we wanted some guys along
So some college OBs came [OB = Old Boy. Former members of Sakura's high school club]

We went skiing that spring [graduation is in spring in Japan]

12-2 Sakura can't ski, so
She stayed at the lodge

And Mori-san also stayed back too

Well...

12-3 And then...

And after the trip, Mori-san talked about it, right?

13-1 But it was just the one time, right?

Mori-san had a girlfriend
And that blew up a little bit

13-2 Mori-san was cute, but he had a rotten personality

Yeah, yeah... that was 10 years ago

13-3 Well, whatever

Yamada wanted to hear about

my high school days anyway

13-4 But I wasn't about to tell him

It was ten years past, after...

13-5 ...all?

14-1 Squeeze

14-2 Wha?
What's with Yamada?

Hey...
Y-yamada!

Don't pull...

Heading to the hotel
Saying nothing...?

14-3 And...
He's not listening

Is he mad?

14-4 Mad...?

Why?
Oh come on! I don't get it!

What?
Why?
Was it what they talked about?

15-1 Well

Well, he wanted...

15-2 He wanted to hear it so bad, right?

You're an asshole, Yamada

15-3 Are...

Hey...

Look... today...

You...

Listen... I'm not really

Mad?

...in the mood...

I just don't get guys

15-4 Slam!

15-5 I think

15-6 This is...

16-1 The first time...

I've seen you like this

16-2 hah hah hah

16-3 Mm!

16-4 Oh... wow

Mm

Nn...

16-5 hah hah hah

Coming on so strong...

17-1 Nn Mm [etc]

17-2 Hah haa

17-3 Nnn

Hey!!

17-4 Hey, Yamada

W-w-w

Wait!

Hah hah hah

sfx; shove

17-5 M-my kiss...

Compared to that Mori guy...
How...
is it?

18-1 Oh...
Oho?
Are you jealous?

Are you
Yamada?

sfx: bluuush

18-2 Bullseye...!?

I-i-i-i...
It's...

18-3 He was...?

But that's over 10 years ago...?

W-w-w-what am I gonna do?
With this feeling?

18-4 Just say, "sure, I'm jealous"!!
And say I'm a dumbass too?

But... But...
It's...

It's just...
Ah, shit!

18-5 Why...

Why couldn't I have met you in high school...
If... If I did, I would have...
That Mori guy would've been so...

18-6 ...moron

You're so stupid, Yamada.
I can even tell you

I

19-4 Click

19-5 Whud

19-7 Sakura...

sfx: whump

20/21-1 creek

20/21-2 Sa...

sfx: whoosh

20/21-3 Sakura!

I'm sorry! I...

20/21-4 D-dont laugh...

Um...

sfx: th-thump

20/21-5 I rented this

Uniform

At the front desk...

20/21-6 Hah hah

20/21-7 Yamada...
Listen, I...

Back when I did it with Mori-san...
Really, I...

22-1 I... was just sulking, ok?
I didn't have any high school memories

I started working right after high school... so...
I wanted some kind of memory

I didn't even like him
When we did it, I didn't feel anything for him
I was dumb, and what's more!

22-2 It hurt!

Mori-san was terrible!
I know now that he was self centered... [italicize "now"]

sfx: squeek

22-3 Sakura

It sucked as a first experience
If...

22-4 If it had been you at first

That would have been great
I think...

sfx: slide

22-5 U-um, Yamada!!

Y-yeah!?

22-6 My first time
Can...

sfx: kyuun

23-2 Can you

Help me do it over...?

23-4 Yes!!

24-1 Hey, Yamada

Yeah?

Tell me about your past

Eh...?

24-2 But, my junior high and high school
Were all boys, so really I never...

Oh?

Hmm?
So does that mean I was your first kiss?

ulp

24-3 N-no...
That's...
Back in junior high

Um, well...

Shoot.
Well... oh, well.

A sempai from club
Came up behind me one day

24-4 Sempai, huh?
Shucks.

...hm?

24-5 Wha?

Yamada, you went to a boy's school!?

24-6 ...yeah
That's how it was

Mm? I... uh...
Should I be getting jealous
Over this...?
