Arakawa Under the Bridge 29

p037
In stead of a useless man
who can't even invite Nino to a date!

Hmpf
That Star-head!

He'll regret provoking me!
A date, you say?

Who do you think I am?
I'll show you!

A flawless date!
Why, you ask? Because I am...

perfect!

Chapter 29. Invitation

After Star made fun of him for not having any progress with Nino,
{Everything suits me, just as I thought!}
Rick decided to invite Nino to a date.

However, a date...
Since birth, I have been
popular like some manga character, but...

I have NO experience with women...
Asking someone out is like a high risk no return deal.
It's a devil's contract!

Every year, Valentine's day was a trial for me.
The three-digit number of chocolates...
------------------------------
p040
I had to return each to its owner.
That was pretty hard.
{Kou speaking! All girls, please gather in the gym!
According to our investigation, this chocolate was sent by Ooba from class 2.
So it was her!
Okay!
Good job! You're promoted!}
What do they think when they don't sign their chocolates?

If I stay indebted to several hundreds of girls until the White day,
Ulcers will kill me before asthma does.
That's why I don't have any experience.
{Rick has asthma fits when he can't repay a debt.}

Well, last night I've studied some materials, so I'll be okay.
Let's go!
Materials.
----------------------------
p041
Go!

I wonder if he can go...

all the way to the ocean?
Hm?

Nino, good morning!
----------------------------
p042
The white flowers blooming in my heart...
I've brought them to steal your heart!

I'm looking forward to the next time...
It's not a performance!
