Star Romance?
The title doesn't fit.

Page 03

Damn.
I didn't bath yesterday . // I somewhat stink.

Page 04

Huh? // You took a bath, Michiaki?
Of course I do. // I'm a human being after all.
(Hahaha)
(Figures)
Morning~~
Huh? // You took a bath, Michiaki?
I did! // No need to voice it ou.

Page 05

Yesterday
I drove through the city
while watching the stars.
(friend)
I drove the whole night
and only got back 2? (Don't remember)

Page 06

Aki.
Morning.

Page 07

Ah, // you didn't took a bath, did you.
I didn't. (So what!?)
(Everyone's so noisy about it)
So he didn't took one after all.
Thus I forgot to take a bath.
Come with me.
Eh
A confession?

Page 08

Aki, // what were you doing yesterday?
Mh?
I know you're hiding something.
....Why?
How can she tell?

Page 09

I heard some annoying bike sounds during the night. // Was that you?
...
You were hanging out with the guys from South High again?
Aki.

Page 10

So what. Even the newspaper guy // runs around with his bike. [as she was complaining about the noise]
Sorry, Miyo.

Page 11

I can't sit still. Not even a second.
There he is.
Hey~
(Yahoo)
What an idiot.
Michiaki, // watcha wanna do today?
Hah x2
(I'm exhausted)
Eh? Today?

Page 12

How about calling an UFO?
You're such an idiot.
I meant some badass stuff.
Huh?
Badass...
Lightening up fireworks on school ground. // How's that?

Page 13

Great minds think alike.
(Fireworks)
(Hah)
(Hahahaha)

Page 14

When I act stupidly // I feel like I can forget everything.
When
did I become like this?

Page 15

*chirp*
*chirp*
Morning already...
Played a bit too long...
Aki!!
....

Page 16

Where have you been?
...
You were again with---
*clatter*
*shut*
Only coming back in the morning,

Page 17

Even salary men do that.
I can't sit still. Not even for a second.
I want to forget every second.

Page 18

Michiaki, you took a bath!
*Fuah* (A nice smell)
Could you stop making it sound like I'm someone who doesn't take baths?
You're not!?
Why are you so surprised. // Of course I'm not.
Actually, you got rings under your eyes.
I haven't slept.

Page 19

Aww
Somehow, school is
so troublesome.
Michiaki.
Absent, huh?
....

Page 20

I // played around.
Day // by day.
Not even going to school.
Every day,

Page 21

I played around.
Who's that?
Ain't I somewhat strange lately?
So gloomy.

Page 22

*ding dong*
*ding dong*
*ding dong*
*ding dong*
Yeah, // I'm coming already.
Aki.
....

Page 23

Are you okay?
Your friends are worried.
Aki.. // you're being strange...
You changed after // your mom died..

Page 24

My mother died.
She's gone.
Aki...
I want to talk to you properly...

Page 25

It can be after you had your fun with your friends.
Tonight at 12o'clock, // I'll wait at the park on the hill.
I'll be waiting there...
for you.

Page 26

The park on the hill...?
I think we were getting together at the station at 7 today?
"Tonight
at 12o'clock"
12, huh.

Page 27

Why are you keeping checking your clock?
Eh
You wouldn't think of leaving us now, would you.
Leaving? // No way.
Really? // Then it's alright.

Page 28

"I'll be waiting"
"for you"
Mom,
why did you die?

Page 29

Michiaki, // how's it looking for tomorrow's test?
Mhm~~ // I'll manage...
Don't overdo it. // Why don't you take a small break?
I'm okay.
I don't know if I'll get into North High even if I study.
I gotta do my best.

Page 30

Then, when you pass // I'll buy you whatever you want.
Whatever?
Yeah! // Whatever!
Okay, // I...

Page 31

want a telescope.
When I was small
my mother would get angry immediately // when I did something bad
My father never said anything,
but I was afraid of my mother finding out.

Page 32

But even when she scolded me, // on the night of the same day
she would take me to the park on the hill.
I'm sorry.
Don't cry, Michiaki.
And
every time she would say:
Look.
The stars are so beautiful.

Page 33

(Acceptance Sheet)
It's there.
Number 114 is there.
You passed, Aki!!
I loved the stars I watched with my mom
at the park.
"When you looked at the results
come to that park"
"When you have passed, you get the telescope"

Page 34

"I'll be waiting"
...
Hey, // I'll be gone real quick.
Huh?
Eh
Hey
Since then // my time had stopped.

Page 35

Hah x2

On that day // my mom didn't come.

Page 36

I waited.
I waited for her.
Incoming Call - Dad
Michiaki,
come to the hospital at once.

Page 37

Your mom had an accident.
Miyo...
My mom didn't keep her promise.
MIYO-----
She died betraying me.

Page 38

Are you the same...?
Aki.

Page 39

Aki
You came // after all.
I knew // you would come.

Page 40

This is // your favourite place after all.
No matter how far I drive with my bike,
no matter how far I swim in the pool,
truth is
I haven't forgotten anything....

Page 41

My mother // gave me my name. [duh. you don't say?]
Saying, your "Path"
will always be "bright" [Note: His name is Michiaki. Michi for Path and Aki for bright]
She hoped for me to become like that...

Page 42

It was me who betrayed her.
I wonder what my mom // would say if she saw me now...

Page 43

Page 44

On that day, I
vowed to my mom, who had become a star.
Michiaki.

Page 45

BE careful.
I'm off.
"I'll give my best".
