When I was in high school

There was someone I liked

3-2 I wasn't able to bring myself to tell him that, and then he graduated...

3-3 This year I am graduating [put "I" in italics]

Wow

Shirahai-sempai...
He's in Tokyo now...

When I saw his address on the New Year's postcard... [It's standard to send postcards to friends and acquaintances at new year.]

I decided!

4-1 Room 1: A Stalker Who Doesn't Realize It {Title. Might want to add in the Author here also if this is ever going to be distributed}

I'm going to Tokyo too!

To where Sempai is!

5-1 So that's how...

There's an apartment available in Sousei ni-chome?

5-2 Yeah, there is

Score!

5-3 Heh heh heh
So this is my battle plan:

Pretend that I "happened" to move into this apartment...

5-4 Pretend that we just "happened" to meet again

And Sempai and I'll grow closer together!
Fufufufu {Editor Note, make sure to leave the heart in}

6-1 Now! The move-in greetings! [When you move into a new place, it's customary to bring your new neighbors small gifts]

sfx: ding dong

6-2 Click

Yes?

7-1 I...

sfx: wobble

I never even imagined this would happen... {Editor Note, make sure to leave the ? in}

7-2 What's happening here!?
Is Sempai

living with some other girl?

7-3 My name is Sadashima... Ah... Um... Here's some move-in soba [Soba noodles are often used as gifts in these situations because the word "soba" is a homophone for "to be next to"]

Oh wow, nowadays it's unusual to have someone be so polite {Editor Note, make sure to leave the heart in}

So you're next to us? [hand written]

7-3 Yuko?
A delivery?

[ignore sxf]

Ah, it's move-in greetings

8-1 Huh?

8-3 Um, are three people living here...?

Eh? Just us two, so...?

8-4 Right now, we're living together {Editor Note, make sure to leave the heart in}

So if we get "noisy", please forgive us {Editor Note, make sure to leave the heart in}

Giving up the ghost

8-5 {Editor Note, make sure to leave the ? in}

Hah...

Haha

Is...
Is that right...
Well, I have some unpacking to do, so...

8-6 What giiiives?

W-where did Sempai go to...?

9-1 Hey

The neighbor who just came over
Haven't you seen her before?

sfx: slurp

Eh?

9-2 I don't think so...? {Editor Note, make sure to leave the ? in}

Mmm...
If I'm remembering correctly...

9-3 rustle rustle

9-4 Ah

9-5 Right here! It's her!

Here, look!
You know her too, right?

10-1 {Editor Note, make sure to leave the --- in}

10-2 Siigh

10-3 What the hell am I doing...?

10-4 I was so happy when I moved here

And now I don't even know where sempai's gone to...

10-5 I'm such an idiot

sfx: ding dong

11-1 Sadashima Koyomi, right!

sf: wham

11-2 What's this, all of a sudden?
How do you know my full name!?

Sadashima, so it's really you...

Your door was unlocked, ok? [handwritten]

11-3 It's me!

Shirahai!

[ignore sfx]

Don't you remember me?

12-2 Nearsighted

[ignore sfx on right]

12-3 Se...Sempai?

12-4 ...Sempai's sister?

Right?

No... It's me
Shirahai Yutaka!

13-1 Breasts!?

[Ignore sfx]

He's in drag!?

N-no way! He was pretending to be a guy in high school!?

13-2 Excuse me
Sorry she's being so rude, but [handwritten]

Let me explain

13-3 I... in order to live with him...

I had a sex change!

14-1 So now that you know...

Please!

sfx: clap

14-2 Please don't let my parents know!!

sfx: bow

14-3 In the past...
There was a sempai I liked

Iya

Iya

Iyaaaaaaaaa

But when we met again, after a whole year

He'd given up on being a man
