Let’s do it! Let’s get on the internet…

Gafu: Ahhh-

Text 1: Lunch Time at Café Deco

Gafu: So bored!

Kofu: Go home then.

Gafu: Whaaat- Isn’t this the place people with nothing to do go?

Sfx: Hmm?

Momokuro: That’s really not the case…

Momokuro: I’m actually a very busy person.

Sfx: Ding

Gafu: With incense?

Momokuro: This evening, for example, I have to go to the city for an incense collection….
Ahh that’s right, I need to look into how to get there.

Deco: I have a computer, you want to use it?

SFX: rummage…


Page 4

Momokuro: Sure.

Momokuro: That was really helpful, thanks.
Now I can indulge my heart’s content at Akasaka this evening.

Deco: Huh? Oh, no problem.

Momokuro: But I’m a bit surprised

Momokuro: I didn’t think you were computer literate.

Gafu: Have you ever used one?

Kofu: I haven’t even touched one before.

Deco: I-I’ve used computers before. For my accounts and…my accounts.

Momokuro: Is that all?

Secchuan: What a waste.

Kofu: Hmm…Well I’d like to use it more…

Momokuro: Do you have a website? It’s the latest craze.

Deco: Ahhh…

Secchuan: They’re really useful.


Page 5

Deco: I’ve thought of making one in the past but…

Deco: It seems really difficult, and I don’t have any artistic talent, I wouldn’t know how to design it.

Kofu: He really doesn’t.

Deco: How did you get hold of that!?

Momokuro: Artistic talent…

Momokuro: I know someone.
A pro.

Deco: Th-that’s right! Secchuan-san is an artist.

Secchuan: I’m really good.

Momokuro: I can help make it if it’s a simple page.

Deco: Th-then please!

Secchuan: My art is special…

Secchuan: But I can do it if it’s for Deco.


Page 6

Secchuan: I’ll show you my art.

SFX: woosh

??: Oooohh
What will it be?

SFX: Scribble scribble

Gafu: Ooh isn’t that awesome?

Gafu: And on the right hand side too…

Kofu: My sword shop should have some advertising too.

Secchuan: Oh, I’ll draw something or you as well then.

Secchuan: Hm

SFX: Ta-dah!

Secchuan: It’s done!

Secchuan: I want to write an article as well.

Momokuro: Ok, then right here…

Gofu: Ohhh! You can write in English!

Momokuro: Right, it looks like it’s done.

SFX: Surprise

Deco’s thoughts: No way!!

Deco’s thoughts: No way…

SFX: Haaa

Deco’s thoughts: But…

SFX: Click

Deco: Well…

Deco: Everyone tried really hard to make this site for me…

SFX: Click Click

Deco: I guess I’ll try hard to make my part…

Deco: But…

Deco: No one’s visiting the site.

Deco: I wonder what’s wrong?

Gafu: What?


Page 10

Gafu: No one’s coming to the site?

Gafu: I don’t believe it! Why wouldn’t they!?

Deco: How can we make people visit it?

Gafu: How about having a woman in a bathing suit?

Momokuro: It can’t be helped.

SFX: Ahem

Momokuro: I will show you my “55 hits in a single day” website.

SFX: tmp

Bringing You and Incense Together in Kamakura for 80 Years

SFX: Ta-dah!

Gafu: Not “ta-dah!”. The name is too long.

SFX: Swipe

Momokuro: Wah!

Momokuro: Well someone like you might not understand its subtlety

Secchuan: So tedious.

Kofu: I’m getting bored.

SFX: Yawn

Deco: I think it’s cool.

Momokuro: But it gives a different feeling to what you’re selling Deco.

Momokuro: You should get ideas from another café…

Deco: Another café…

Deco: Ah!


Page 12

Deco: I wonder what kind of website Fatabatei-san has.

Kofu: Don’t use his site as a reference.

SFX: Click

Deco: Ooooohh

SFX: Clickity

Secchuan: Perfect!

Deco: Amazing. But making a reservation page would be difficult…

Kofu: Why would you need a reservation pagr for here?

Deco: Shut up.

Deco: Hey Kofu?

Kofu: What?


Page 13

Deco: Do you want to come out with me for our day off tomorrow?

Kofu: Oh I see, you’re making a photo diary page.

Deco: Yeah! I thought we could update it with a lot of stuff.

Deco: I’m really looking forward to taking a lot of photos!

SFX: Ka-chik

Deco: Even if people aren’t interested in my shop there must be people interested in seeing pictures of Kamakura.
So I want to show off Kamakura’s good points…

SFX: Heh

Kofu: Yeah, show them the good things. Then I’ll them more good points with my own sword page!

Deco: Err, well… at least for today you can show me around Kamakura.


Page 14

SFX: Ka-chin ka-chin

Deco: I took loads of great pictures.

Kofu: You can really make the website come alive with these.

Deco: Wouldn’t that be great?

Kofu: Huh?

SFX: Tap


Page 15

Futabatei: What’s up guys!

SFX: Hey hey!

SFX: Spin

Futabatei: Ohhh….?

Futabatei: That’s excellent, wonderful!
I’m moved by the picturesque views of Kamakura and Deco-kun’s food.

Futabatei: Please let me support you in any way I can

Deco: Ah well...

Deco: In that case…


Page 16

Deco: Would you mind helping me?

Futabatei: Eh?

Deco: Can…can you put a link on…

Deco: Ah, sorry, I know this is pretty shameless of me.

Futabatei: The me who’s drawn to Kamakura would love to be useful to Deco-kun

Kofu thoughts: Good job Deco, that’ll annoy him!

Futabatei: Ah
jeez…


Page 17

Futabatei: I’m too nice of a person.
Actually, perhaps I’m the type of person who is so nice it’s a disadvantage? I’m so charming.

SFX: Squeak

Futabatei: Deco-kun is a real brute for exploiting that.

Deco: It’s pretty simple what we made together…

Futabatei: He said that but…

Futabatei: I also said “I’ll do what I can”. I wonder if they made something shabby?

Futabatei: I’m a bit stumped.

Futabatei: Won’t it just be an inconvenience?

SFX: Click

Futabatei: What kind of site did they make…

Page 18

SFX: Spirt

Futabatei: Ah…Ah ha

Futabatei: Not…not what I imagined…why is he always like this?

Text: Deco Café

Futabatei: It’s a but wonky and out of focus

Futabatei: Hang on. If I link this…

Futabatei: My heart really is too big.

Deco: Hmm?


Page 19

Deco: People are slowly coming.
This might be thanks to Futabatei-

Kofu: That’s not it.

Kofu: But I’m glad.

Kofu: Now I can add my sword course .

Kofu: Oi, let me update it.

Deco: Wait a minute.

Deco: Since I updated the diary…

SFX: click

Highlighted test: 1 Comment

SFX: Clatter

Deco: What…what do I do!?

Deco: A come…

Kofu: Comet?*

*Note: In Japanese Kofu mistakes Deco’s stuttering “come” as “kome” which means ‘rice’.

Deco: There’s a comment!

Deco: A customer left me a comment.

SFX: Woosh

Kofu: Ohhh

SFX: Click


Page 21

Subject: Hello
Cherry
I’ve been there many times. I’m happy you have a homepage. You have such great food and cake. Please try your best!

SFX: Shock

Deco: I’m going to do my best!

Deco: I…I have to…re…re…reply.

Kofu: Calm down.

Deco: I should make a witty response.

Kofu: That’s all well and good but let me update the site and then it’ll be dinner time.

SFX: Toss


Page 22

Deco
Thank you for your comment! It really made me happy. I hope you come again.

Subject: I love Kamakura Café
Cherry
Thank you for your reply. Café Deco has a really great atmosphere. The tea and coffee are really good.

Deco: Such warm messages. I’m going to try even harder.

Kofu: But dinner…

Deco’s thoughts: I’m going to take lots of pictures for Cherry!

Deco: These are the ones I took during my break.

Kofu: How far did you go?

Kofu: These don’t have any relation to Kamakura beside Kannon.

Deco: Ah

Deco: Ko…Ko…Kofu!


Page 23

Deco: This is bad!

Kofu: Another message from Cherry?

Deco: Look!

Subject: I Want to Go
Cherry
Thank you for always responding. I’m going to be in the area soon. I’m looking forward to ordering some tea.

Deco: Cherry-san is actually going to be here…

Deco: Why is my chest beating this much?

Deco: Maybe this is love!?

Deco: I love her!

Kofu’s thoughts: To-

Kofu’s thoughts: To think he’d be this stupid.

Kofu’s thoughts: I wonder what he’ll do if she’s someone like my mother?


Page 24

SFX: Bishi~

Deco: Hey, aren’t you going to wear a hakama? Isn’t that what you do when receiving guests?

Deco: Perhaps I should let the blinds down.

SFX: shuffle shuffle

Kofu: He’s getting really into this. That idiot.

Kofu: I hope this doesn’t fail but…

SFX: Swish

Deco: Hey Kofu, how’s this?


Page 25

Kofu: What now? This doesn’t look good…

Deco: Ta-daah!

SFX: Rattle

Deco: I make it to thank Cherry-san for the nice comments when she comes here.

Kofu: I…I get the feeling it kind of looks like a wedding cake.

Deco: I thought you’d like to taste it.

Kofu: I have a weird feeling about this, is it ok to eat?

SFX: Ka-cha


Page 26

Futabatei: Hello! Your lights are on late.
Futabatei: Are you doing something weird again?

Futabatei: What’s that?

Kofu: A wedding cake…I think

Futabatei: Whose?

Deco: Ah no, actually, on the website…

Deco: There is

Deco: this person

Deco: who is very
precious to me

Futabatei: Oh my…Precious? You’re making me self-conscious.

Futabatei: I didn’t even prepare myself…


Page 27

Deco: Erm? My precious Cherry-san…

Futabatei: Oh Deco-kun! You’re so assertive!

Deco: Ah, no… Cherry…

Futabatei: Well you see I’m the one that gave you the blossoming comment

Futabatei: Cherry is a fake name

Futabatei: Haha, I thought I was being quite witty*

*Note: “Sakura” means “decoy” or “fake”, the same as sakura cherry blossoms. So Cherry is a play on words.


Page 28

Futabatei: Don’t be so surprised, it was quite obvious

Futabatei: It was my shop that… [Rest is covered by mug]

Futabatei: Nom~


Page 29

Futabatei: My wedding cake is delicious!

Futabatei: Deco-kun really is a genius.

Futabatei: Aren’t you going to join me?

Kofu: I’ve lost all interest in getting involved.

Futabatei: Delicious <3

SFX: Pat

Kofu: Deco

Deco: Kofu…

Kofu: You are an idiot, and so you fall in love like an idiot, and get heartbroken like an idiot.

Kofu: Now that you understand this, you should meditate on it while you cook me dinner.

SFX: Doom

Deco: Uwah…

Uwaaahhhh~

Kofu: Stop crying you idiot.

Futabatei: La~

Futabatei: That cake was so good.
That kid really has good taste.

Futabatei: And I got such an amusing reaction!

Futabatei: Really

Futabatei: I have to observe him more.

Futabatei: This was a great victory for me!

Futabatei: That’s what was supposed to happen but…
