panel) In the park on a cold night...
b1) Sakurai-san...
b2) Wha... // What are you doing out here?
b3) WHAT AM I...? // I HEARD FROM HER THAT YOU RAN AWAY FROM HOME, SO I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU!!
b4) From her... huh?
b5) K-kouta-kun... // C-c-can I get in there too?
b6) huh? Y-yeah...

title) My feelings.
b1) K-k-kouta-kun,
b2) a-are you against moving?
b3) B-b-because it was so sudden, you were surprised right...
b4) Sakurai-san, are you in pajama's?
b5) Y-y-y-yeah... I-I rushed out without thinking.
b6) Is that why your voice sounds like that? Here, use my scarf!

b3) Oh...
b4) I'm...

page 5

b1) I'm sorry.
b2) Don't make a face like that!!
b3) huh?
b4) I knew from the get go you didn't feel the same about me.
b5) I just wanted to tell you how I felt before you moved.
b6) I would hate to have the 'what if' hanging over my head after you were gone.

page 6

b1) Sakurai-san...
b2) And since I did this,
b3) you'll have to too.
b4) You better tell her how you feel.
b5) huh?
b6) You like that older girl that's living with you right?
b7) Where'd you... I don't... // In fact, she would never...
b8) LISTEN! EVEN IF YOU THINK IT'S IMPOSSIBLE, YOU'LL REGRET IT IF YOU DON'T SAY SOMETHING.
b9) Well, // it's not like i can't understand why you like her.
b0) After you met her you changed.
b1) You became more assertive.

page 7

b1) Sakurai-san, you also changed.
b2) You were always pretty,
b3) but now you're much more approachable...
b4) Is this the mouth that's saying those cheating words!!?
b5) Ahm thowwy!!
b6) I'm done here! I'm going home!! // I hope she rejects you too!!
b7) I'll take you home.
b8) You don't need to, my house is close by!!

b1) If you still want to take me home, // walk 5m behind me.
bubble sfx.) squeak
b2) Her house really is close!
b3) Sakurai-san!!
b4) Thanks a lot.
b5) I-I'll see you tomorrow!!

page 9

b1) I need to get home too.
box1) Whether I run away from home or not,
box2) it won't change the fact that I have to move...
box3) Is it impossible for me to keep living with those sisters?
box4) Yeah, I but you it is impossible.
b2) Whoa!
b3) kyaah!

page 10

b1) I found you!!
b2) WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!!?
b3) Where?
b4) I was playing games at a friends house. // And here you are calling Sakurai-san telling her that I ran away from home!
b5) Because your other friends said it was over an hour since you guys left...
b6) HUH!? // T-that's because I stopped at the book store!!
b7) The book store is in the opposite direction!
b8) That's besides the point, I wasn't trying to run away from home.
b9) Then let's go.
b0) What are you...
b1) Hey, let me go!
b2) No! If I do, you'll run away again.

page 11

b1) You shouldn't make your father worry like that.
b2) As if you're one to talk?
b3) huh?
b4) Isn't this a golden opportunity to tell her how I feel?
b5) I would hate to have...
b6) the 'what if' hanging over my head...
box1) S-she's right...
box2) If I tell her or not,
box3) and I get nothing out of it...
b7) I'd be ecstatic if she felt the same way though...

page 12

b1) Taking a chance on the 'what if' is better than doing nothing!!
box) Even I think I've changed since I met her. // The me before meeting her would never have had the courage to tell a girl how he feels about her.
b2) BUT THE ME NOW!!
b3) But the me now!!
b4,5) ugh...
b6) but the me now...

page 13

box1) In the end,
box2) I didn't say anything. And time has passed me by.
b1) WHOAA!!
b2) YOU'RE ROOM IS TOTALLY EMPTY!!
b3) We've already moved the big things. // We're leaving some furniture for the guy who's moving in after us to use.
b4) This is empty too.
b5) To tell the truth, up until now it really did sink in,
b6) but you're really leaving tomorrow.

page 14

b1) Well, it's not like we sold the house or anything,
b2) so if my dad's bosses change their minds again, I might move back here.
b3) Alright then! Until then, I'll take care of that girl for you!
b4) No, she's going back to her own house.
panel) WHAAAT!? ARE YOU SERIOUS!?
box1) You know,
box2) it might turn out that I can move back to this town.
box3) But even if that's the case,
box4) it's not like she'll be here waiting for me.
