[We’re now into the 3rd school term—//and a rumor that my homeroom teacher got engaged is going around]

Girls: I heard that they’re seriously deep in love!
SFX: WAKI WAKI (Excited)
Yuuko: Teacher—//I heard you’re getting married, is it true--?

Teacher: haha… yep
Teacher: As soon as spring holiday starts//after you guys graduate…
Bubble 1: Wow---!! Teacher, what is she like---?
SFX: WAI WAI (*noisy)
Bubble 2: Is she a college student? An office lady!?
Bubble 3 above Yuuko’s head: Is she pretty?//How old is she!?
Teacher: Hey hey don’t ask me all at once.
Teacher: Let’s see//well she….she was my class mate during high school and…
Teacher: I’ve been into her for the whole 8 years…
Teacher: and she hardly ever showed any interest in me… //but then finally she considered it and agreed to marry me the other day.//Gosh, how happy I am!
Page 041:
Yuuko: Teacher—Why are you getting married?
Teacher: Huh?
Yuuko: What will happen when you get married?
Hiroshi: Gee, stupid--// after you get married, you become husband and wife, duh!
Yuuko: Hiroshi-kun…
Friend 1: Oh—so it’s like professor and Yuuko right--?
Hiroshi: N…no!// we’re not married so you don’t call us husband and wife you know!
Friend 2: So--- get married then— hyuu hyuu (*=teasing whistle)
Yuuko: Shut up!
Yuuko: You can’t get married unless the guy is 18 and the girl is 16 you know!!
Friend: Oh---so Yuuko really does hope to get married to professor huh?// She’s probably thinking “I’ll just have to wait another 6 years” or something
Yuuko: […great]
Page 042:
SFX: ki—n ko—n ka—n ko—n (*=school bell)
Yuuko: [--but…]

Page 050:
[I kind of yearn for it--]
[this type of love //that comes from a tie where the guy held so strongly to his feelings for his one and only]
[Just like ones you see in your dreams//I want be in that kind of dramatic love too--]
[Will there be a day I will meet that kind of guy?—]
Yuuko: [oh…Hiroshi kun’s room]
Yuuko: [he’s still got his lights on]
Yuuko: [Hiroshikun…]
Hiroshi: “I…I’ll wait!”
Page 051:
Yuuko: I wonder//if Hiroshi-kun’s got someone he likes right now
“I’ll wait!”
[That person that Hiroshi likes]
