Note: That's right. A few months ago I went to the beauty parlor. When I go to get my usual cut and color it normally takes about an hour but the other day I wanted a haircut and a perm. Also, they had to blend it more so it took a whole 5 hours.....I wanted to die!! I don't know how many times I started to say “That's enough! I'm going home! I'll come back!” I'm bad at that stuff. Sitting there for so long. And my stupid face is in front of me the whole time. I won't do it. Well, I was the one who wanted to go to the salon so I shouldn't be complaining [???]. I'm also bad at making small talk with the hairdressers. I can talk but it's pretty forced. So I like to be silent. I'm sorry, all you hairdressers. 2005. Aruko. Thanks for everything.

When I was working on the oneshot, it was easy to make the characters come to life so I thought I should try working on it again someday, so I'm glad I did. Yes. Ah, It seems like they're publishing the oneshot of Yasuko to Kenji in MC's “Mitsuami to Akai Jitensha.” Why am I saying “it seems like.” They are. Yes. Thank you for everything. Yes. Yes. Yes. Now then, I wonder what I should write about. I'm 160 cm tall. My bloodtype is A. What on earth am I writing??

b1: That's right, Tsubaki...... Tsubaki Erika b2: The Black Rose
b3: Who can silence a crying child b4: Who can kill you with a smile b5: Her!
B6: Wasn't she the leader of the Fiendish Ladies gang~~~~~ SFX: Bam!
b7: Huhhhhh?
P55
b1: Erika was leader of the Ladies!? B2: Here it comes...
b3: ........ The Black Rose... b4: Ahh... Now I remember......
b5: You memory seems like it's even worse than I thought.

b6: He's the worst
BL1: Stop it~

P 58
b1: You're right, I did hang out with her and make her late coming back from cram school
b2: It was my fault
b3: I'm sorry. BL1: Tsubaki-kun...
b4: No, it's my fault! I was the one who invited you b5: You don't need to apologize! SFX: Push
b6: And I'm sorry, about him b7: Are you alright!?

b3: ....Tsubaki-kun...
b4: He's talking to me like this even though he saw what a jerk my brother is... BL1: That's just like my brother! SFX: Hmph
b5: I've gotta become his bride!
Note: 2) So that's done with. I'm ridiculously forgetful. It's totally horrible. I even forgot what I'm being forgetful about. Everything. Overall. So much that it's producing problems in my everyday life. What I've been thinking about especially lately is the movies and music that have really moved me. I mean when my nose is running and I'm crying out loud. And yet after a little while I forget about it. I can remember the scene and the feeling and parts like that but, the details just fly off somewhere. Even if there's a movie that really moved me, I don't talk very lively about it. “I saw it. It was moving.” is all I can say. Even though I liked it~ I'm like that with movies, music, and books. (writing on side) dummy. To page 111
p64
b1: Let's go.
B2: Runt, from now on you'd better stay away from Yasuko.

b7: Erika and the boss met 9 years ago...... SFX: beep---- BL3: Rewind
b8: When Erika first saw the boss b9: She fell in love with him right away Jacket: Hundred devils night walk [it says in the dictionary “many monsters, spirits, etc. forming a line and walking through the night; (2) veritable pandemonium; large number of people plotting and doing evil; creepy characters roaming about presenting a most scandalous sight” -- I thought maybe it would be better literal. Or maybe “plotting devils” or something?]

p70
BL1: Erika dieted and attacked again b1: Date me
BL2: And... b2: I don't like a woman who walks like a crab BL3: killer rejection
BL4: Even so, her confessions continued until the third year of highschool..... BL5: I like you BL6: Gross
BL7: I like you BL8: Get lost
b3: So that's what happened...........
BL9: Erika-san fell in love with him at first sight... b4: So she planned the night attack because he was always rejecting her so harshly...
b5: No, that's not what happened
b6: Erika wasn't the one who launched the night attack on the boss BL10: Huh?
P71
BL1: Around that time a group of bad guys called “Snake” was around BL2: Their leader, a guy called Aota was chasing after Erika
BL3: Of course she wouldn't accept him BL4: I've decided on only one man, and that is Oki Kenji.
BL5: Resentful, Aota launched a night attack on the boss using the Black Rose's name b1: I didn't find out about this until much later though...
b2: So that means.. Then Erika didn't do anything bad! B3: None of it is true!
B4: It seems like the boss still thinks that Erika did it though.
b5: We smashed Snake ourselves BL6: Because they were a pain in the ass BL7: but we left the Black Rose alone because she's a woman b6: but even after the team disbanded, I heard that Aota was still following Erika around b7: Even now!?
B8: Yes... He always was a persistent guy B9: What is wrong with that Aota guy!?
B10: Erika thought she might cause trouble for the boss, so she left town BL8: Farewell b11: What----
p72
BL1: Poor Erika-san!
B1: Then, he misunderstood the night attack! We have to explain it! B2: It's too late now, Yasuko-san. SFX: Sigh...
b3: What terrible timing for love BL2: It's already too late
b4: On top of that, when Aota finds out that Erika and the boss have started up again, b5: who knows what he'll do
b5: You shouldn't have anything to do with her either b6: Not even with her brother!
BL3: !!
b7: So that's what happened b8: And Tsubaki-kun and I parted like that..
B9: I've gotta apologize at cram school tomorrow!

1) It's gross, isn't it- What is this? He is obviously farting, ne Before I started making shoujo manga, I wanted to make one picture like this, and this came out. Since it popped up, I decided to put it in here!!
2) I think I drew the pictures on page 139 around the same time. The other pictures are of naked old men and girls and things like that.
3) It was too gross so I couldn't include it here. That's the kind of person that I am but somehow I'm drawing shoujo manga now. I actually really like pure love stories!! I'll keep at it!!

b1: I'm Tsubaki.
b2: Tsubaki Jun
BL1: Jun-sama.
BL2: So your reading manga in class didn't mean anything, I guess
BL3: Yeah, it doesn't matter. I can listen while I read.
BL4: Seriously? That's amazing!!
b3: Well, I've got to go that way.
b4: You don't take the train?
B5: Nope, I walk.

b3: What the hell is this?
BL1: The lid from a soy sauce bottle
b4: Why is this fried with the tempura?
B5: Huh? I must have accidentally put that in.
b6: WAKE UP!!
SFX: BANG
b7: Hot!
SFX: Splash
B8: Do idiots live bracing themselves in their own idiotic way? [I guess to get the meaning I would say something like “Do idiots live in their own world?”]
B9: If you're this careless, you could get accidentally die tomorrow!
BL2: You klutz!
BL3: Shut up with all the “idiot idiot” stuff.
b10: Fine. If you don't like it, I'll eat it all myself!
BL3: Don't talk back.
b11: Is that the way brats today spew out words?
B12: Don't say “spew words.”
BL4: Don't say brat, either.
p20
b1: So, how was cram school?
BL1: Huh?
B2: What's this all of a sudden?
B3: I asked you how it was.
b4: It--
b5: It was...
b6: It was fine! I won't try to skip anymore!
BL2: Oh, I'd better prepare for class!
BL2: That was close.
p21
BL1: If I told him I met someone cool at cram school who makes my heart beat fast If I had told him I met some cool guy at cram school who makes my heart race--
BL2: A brat being head over heels in love!
BL3: Don't lose sight of reality and just play around!
BL4: What a pain...
...
BL5: I wonder if he's ever been in love.
BL6: LOVE
b1: Gross!
B2: I can't imagine that.
BL7: I'm going to sleep.
p22
b1: Wh-what? Yasuko, you started cram school?
BL1: So that's what happened yesterday.
B2: Yep.
b3: You seem cheerful about it, Miss I-Hate-Studying!
BL1: That's because...
BL2: I've fallen in love.
Author's note: (Gomaisatsu) How are you all doing? This is Aruko, I'm doing good. Thank you to everybody who picked up this book!! I'm really grateful. Anyway, this the way I usually write these messages to all of you. Without fail alone and writing very small. Right now it's 3 in the morning. And nobody's home. Waaaaaah. Aruko the Night King. And every time the thought that “What if nobody will even read this...” crosses my mind I fall "fyuu" into a pit of emptiness. SFX: Fyuu Arrow: Empty hole Until page 63
p23
b1: All right. Now this question.
b2: You, tell me the answer.

BL1: Tsubaki-kun,
BL2: I like you!
SFX: apply
SFX: braid
B1: Eek! When did you get here?!
Small talk (on his head) Hurry up and move
B2: Brats like you shouldn't try to look all fashionable. (It's too early in the morning.)
SFX: Embarrassed
b3: Everything you say is irritating.
b4: It's normal. I'm leaving.
b5: You'd better go to cram school after classes finish.
b6: I told you I'd go.
BL3: So obedient...
p28
BL1: I want to hurry up and see Tsubaki-kun, so there's no choice.
b1: From now on, students who get red marks on the quizzes will have to stay late and do make up work.
b2: You're going to have to work hard so you don't get red marks.
BL2: Totally got a red mark.
b3: Huh? Only me?
B4: So I have to do this whole thing?
B5: That's ridiculous.
p29
b1: It's lame to have to stay after for cram school, isn't it?
b2: Yeah!
Ah ha ha ha.
BL1: I'm so uncool.
SFX: slide
b3: I'll help.
b4: You probably won't be able to finish it by yourself.
p30
BL1: Tsubaki-kun...
b1: So the answer is “A”?
b2: Is it?
B3 Don't ask me. I just explained it!
Small bubble: You weren't listening!
BL2: He's so kind.
Small bubble: What about this?
Small bubble: Like I said-
BL3: He's totally different from HIM.
Sfx: scratch
b3: Late...
p31
b1: I'm pretty sure Mosu will be here soon.
SFX: irritated
b2: What is that Yasuko doing? Cram school should have been over awhile ago.
BL1: Oh, that's who he meant.
b3: Thank you, Tsubaki-kun!
BL2: You saved me.
b4: You're welcome.
b5: As-- As thanks--

BL4:On top of that...
SFX: munch munch
BL5: this is kind of...
BL6: Ha ha
b1: You've got food on your face.

SFX: sunset

BL7: Tsubaki-kun's house?
P40
Sign: Tsubaki Flowers~
b1: Tsubaki Flowers? So it's a flower shop.
That's so cool!
B2: What's cool about that?

b5: You never told me!
P42
b1: Aw, shut up. (sweat drop)
b2: Have you eaten dinner yet?
B3: If you have, would you like some tea?
BL1: It must be so great...
for siblings to get along like this.
b4: Forget the tea. Have you looked at her?
BL2: She's injured.
b5: Oh, my! What happened!? I'm so sorry I didn't notice.
BL3: Terrible, terrible! Where's the first aid kit?
b6: Wow, you have such a great relationship with your sister.
b7: Isn't it normal?
BL4: She's... she's so kind.
SFX: Stare
BL5: It's nice here. Completely different from my home.
BL6: I'd so much rather have this kind sister than my brutal brother who won't even allow me to have company over.
p43
BL1: I was thinking about making croquettes for dinner tonight.
BL2: That sounds great! Why don't we make them together?
BL3: Ah...
BL4: How great!
BL5: This is delicious, Yasuko.
BL5: That would be so nice...
BL6: Heh heh heh
b1: There, all done.
b2: I was so surprised that Jun brought a girl home.

B2: Ah, yes.
I do.

BL4: WHAT?
p46
b1: It's dangerous, so you'd better go inside.
BL2: Boss, please don't make a scene.
BL3: Oh, no.
BL4: Oh, no.
b2: YA- SU- KO.
b3: Huh?
BL1: No!!!
b4: I'm pretty sure he just said Yasuko.
BL2: He'll totally hate me if he finds out a guy like that is my brother.
b5: Are you listening to what your brother is saying, you idiot?!
b6: Brother?!
BL3: No~~~
b7: I know you like to dawdle on your way home, but you've been wandering around all this time without even contacting me!
SFX: Ba [??] [It describes her sudden appearance. I think it’s better to just put the explanation near the sfx.]
