Page 3-1:

Takaya: Hey you// you sure a hot girl’s actually coming?

Friend: Don’t worry! I saw Purikura (=Japanese sticker pictures) of her last time and she was quite attractive

Takaya:……..
Takaya: Girls’ Purikura’s are often retouched…


Page 003-2:

Friend: Besides, Aki chan is totally cute too
Takaya: But that’s just Aki that’s cute, right?

Friend: There’s a rule that a cute girl’s friends are all cute!
Takaya: (That’s nonsense…)
Takaya: None of the girls that come to blind group dates that you’ve organized lately were impressive—

Friend: Shut up--//I just want to get close with the girl I like
Friend: Takaya you can be a girls provider yourself so that should be a good thing.

Guy 1: We’re baits…
SFX: SIGH…
Other guy in glasses: Yeah Takaya, you’re popular so it doesn’t matter but we—
Guy 1: Last time you took away a cute girl too
SFX: GATA
Takaya: No//oh never mind!

The guys: You’re probably just playing around anyway!
The guys: If you have fun, then we’ll dismiss that!
Wahaha—

Takaya: [at these dates, I don’t expect to find a girl to seriously go out with]

Takaya: [I’ve also got no intention to be looking for a one so//it’s convenient for a one-night stand

Yuu: Yeah
Yuu: Him him//So much
Aki: ?

Aki: Then why are you going out with him…
Yuu: For revenge.


Page 029-2:

Aki: …revenge…?
Yuu: That guy didn’t get anything

Yuu: He hurt me, made me suffer and all that//he doesn’t get anything…
Yuu: For him, that “bullying” was just teasing and for fun…!!

Yuu: that’s why he wanted to end it with such an insincere apology…

Yuu: Moreover, he’s trying to lure me by apologizing//it’s so obvious…!

Page 030-1:

Yuu: I can’t forgive…
Yuu: I can’t no matter what…!

Yuu: That’s why I’m getting revenge

Yuu: If he says he likes me
Yuu: Then I want to hurt him this time

Yuu: That’s my revenge


Page 030-2

Yuu: …..
Yuu: You think I’m a bitch?

Aki: Nope
Aki: I’m just worried for you

Aki: If it’s like that//you’ll hurt yourself one day



Page 031-1

Yuu: I’ll be fine
