1- Natural perms are born idiots.
2- That means… // Hanna is an idiot!
3- I am… // I am… not an idiot!
4- No!

6- That is why if you two keep this on, // your face will be uglier than before.
7- Stop picking on Hanna!
8- Uglier than before?
9- Sfx: Ah!

3- That’s right! I heard that Koharu’s mom… // raise Koharu herself single-handedly?
4- Huh? // Yeah…
5- What about it?
6- My mom say that it is a very bad thing.
7- Ah… // My granny said it too.
8- She said that being a single- parent mom is hardwork, which is why it will only be unfortunate.

2- It looks like our Hanna will be troubling you from now, Koharu-chan!
3- You’re such a cutie!
4- Eh… // It’s okay.
5- When this child is in kindergarten, she was always bullied. That’s why she became an introvert. // Please get along with her!
6- You got it?
7- That’s right! What those brats said earlier, is that true? // Koharu-chan is from a single- parent household?

6- Yeah… It is around the same!
7- How much do you need?

3- Huh? // Of course!
4- Eh… Wallet… Wallet…
5- I don’t have that much money before my pay day. // How much do you need?
6- Around…
7- 100 000 yen…
8- …
9- Why do you need so much money for?
10- It’s nothing…
11- Of course it does.

3- …
4- This is so troublesome.
5- Forget about it.
6- Sfx: Turn
7- ?

Page 12
1- I don’t know if Masamune-kun will like to have cheese topping on his hamburger?

2- Tsukamoto (Sign)
3- Sfx: Aah ah
4- Here, please drink it!

6- No, it doesn’t.
7- Where’s Koharu-chan?
8- Oh? // She wanted to help out in preparing the hamburger together that is why she is doing her homework frantically at the moment!

Page 14
1- That’s the case…
2- Hehehe! It feels so nostalgia.
3- Huh?
4- After Yuuko had passed away… // I haven’t got the chance to talk to girls of your age…
5- …
6- Yuuko-san is Koharu-chan’s dead mama?
7- Yeah…
8- …
9- If that is the case…

Page 15
1- Did she…
2- Huh?
3- When she was pregnant, // are you angry with her, auntie?
4- She single-handedly brought up a child right?
5- Eh…
6- Heh! // Why did Koharu-chan even say about that matter?
7- From young, she is a very stubborn brat…
8- One day, she suddenly informed me that she is giving birth alone. // After that without much warning, she went abroad to study.
9- Even though I am her mother, she didn’t even discuss it with me… // It is just like she doesn’t need me at all…
10- It feels lonely right?
11- …
12- …
13- I can’t even speak it out…
14- Huh?

Page 16
1- Because you’re her parent, she can’t speak it out.
2- Even though she knew that the people that cares a lot about her… // will still be her parents in the end…
3- There are times when we throw tantrums, there are also times when we are stubborn… // but there is no one wants their parents to be disappointed.
4- I am… // totally clueless about English!
5- But when it comes to examinations, no matter what I chose, English is a necessity.
6- Sfx: Swirl
7- It looks like I can only be recommended into schools, whose standards are lower.
8- Even the class teacher has no other choice…
9- He even laughed saying that smart people need not even specially get their recommendations.

Page 17
1- I am very troubled… // I even thought of giving up my studies altogether.
2- But my dad kept saying that it is a blessing that I could get to school.
3- He is like a fool that keeps smiling…
4- Lucky that your brain is better than mine…
5- That’s because you’re too dumb…
6- That is why I thought of trying it out.
7- My boyfriend Shiro specializes in Machinery studies… // and he finally found a job just this year.
8- Is that so? // It’s great!
9- Ah… // Aiya…
10- What is it?
11- That… That’s why… // I don’t know what I should do…
12- Things just happened so fast…

Page 18
1- I have no idea on what I should do.
2- Sfx: Clenched
3- I just feel that I might just end everything…
4- I…
5- Might have…
6- A child…
7- Eh…
8- I don’t understand this…

Page 19
1- Granny…
2- I don’t want…
3- I don’t want this child…
4- I don’t want to give birth to this child alone… // It’s frightening…
5- Sfx: Sob sob

7- What should I do?
8- What should...
