Title Page
Autumn Color March

Page 1
The fall of your senior year
That's the season where you have to make a tough decision...

On an autumn day...
Amidst the falling leaves, a bishounen~

It can be a picture, Kouno-senpai
... are you doing that on purpose?

Page 2
It's praise
Our class has you labeled as "cute," senpai

"Cute" isn't a word of praise for guys!

Ah...
Sawada-sensei

She always looks so pretty
Kouno-senpai... what's wrong?
... nothing

-... right

Page 3
Sawada Aki-sensei, who started teaching in this school this April
Because extremely popular quickly within the school

Pretty, young, kind, easy to talk to

And
Even though she's a teacher she's not noisy

-... is what's said, anyways

Page 4
Oh...
Kouno Maachi-kun

Come here for a bit!
/there something i want your help with

She singled him out
Kouno-senpai seems to be favored by Sawada-sensei, don't you think?
She's not even his homeroom...

Aren't you glad
I wonder if it's because senpai's a bishounen?
/stop saying that!
Shut up you guys...

Seeya!
/it's a plus being cute

Page 5
I, Sawada Aki (23), became a high school teacher this year
And I'm having a wonderful time every day

What's so great is
I love Bishounen and Bishoujo

The young people that change their look from season to season...
/watching students from out the window
To me, school is like heaven...
Yes, my paradise
... your thoughts are being voiced

Page 6
Ooh you came...
How could you make the school Madonna wait!
/here, the survey sheet
/such fraud
But this looks like lolicon/shotacon

Ask some other guy sometimes
Sawada-sensei's popular, so anyone would quickly say yes...

-... are you listening?
/ahh...
/second year's Hyuuga Aoi-chan, i wanna pet her

I'm listening I'm listening...
But stop with that "Sawada-sensei"
Just call me "Aki-nee" like always

How could I call you that!
/and don't rub my head
/oh

Page 7
Who cares!
We know each other...
Who do you think changed your diapers

Yes-...
Sensei and I are neighbors
/stop with the old stories!
I've known her since I was a kid

... more important, you've been my slave since then!
Who's a slave!?

Now I'm pissed...
I'm not helping!
Oh?

I'll spread stories about your hobbies!!
Mmm... my image as Madonna!

Page 8
You're so rebellious these days...
Don't you feel embarassed being my slave?
... I don't
/seeya!

Hey Maachi!
What...
Is thish~!?

Answer...
Maachi child trying to run away from home with his teddy bear and toys (1st grade)!
/at this time I made you carry an orange
You take out one of those old photos again!?

I still have more

Good good, being honest is the best
/surrendered
/shit-!!

Page 9
There're a lot of shounen and shoujo in this school that you love, right?
Why don't you ask them...
/ahh my lunch break
Oh, but it's not like I'll just grab anyone either, you know?

Maachi grew up the way I wanted him to
So I can't just leave him

So disgusting
/ahh ew ew
/what, brat
... what'd you say?

Page 10
Hey... Aki-nee

Do you remember...
The promise?

Hey!
/a cute student just passed by
Eh... yes, did you say something?
... nevermind

Page 11
Sawada-sensei-!

Ah, Taguchi-sensei
I think Maachi's homeroom?
Actually I have something I wanted to discuss with you...
Ok

It's about Kouno Maachi

To be blunt...
It's October, in his senior year, but Kouno's the only one who hasn't turned in his future plan
Really!

Sawada-sensei and Kouno seem close...
Do you have any ideas?
/ideas...

Page 12
I'm sorry, I don't know...
I see...
Even I, as Kouno's homeroom, haven't heard anything

Sawada-sensei...
Could you talk to Kouno about it for me?

Alright!
Thank you

That Maachi...
He didn't decide on his future yet
/that's cutting it close
... speaking of which, he's been pretty rebellious lately
Maybe there's a reason

Alright!
Time to catch him and interrogate him
/sort of peeved he didn't talk to her about it

Page 13
Heeey!
Kouno Maachi-kun
/here here
/so tired
/ahh done, done

Stop... calling me out where other people are
/it's suspicious!

Hmm!
Your legs are thin and pretty... you pass
/mm... no thigh
Waaah...

Did you call me to touch my leg!?
/you temptress!
/who's a temptress?
So rude... of course not

You... haven't turned in your future plans?

You're already a senior
/and it's october
Shouldn't you be thinking abou your life in earnest?

Page 14
... what's with the sudden teacher atmosphere
Because I'm a teacher

Aki-nee, what should I do?
Hn!?

What are you going to do if you can't decide about yourself!

I just wanted to hear your opinion as a teacher...
Ow?

Page 15
Ouch!
If you choose the path another chooses for you, you could shift the blame to them
But you'll regret it

You should take responsibility and choose for yourself

You say teacher-like things sometimes
/isn't that right

... so, is there a reason why Maachi can't decide his future?

Page 16
You've been pretty rebellious towards me these days, maybe that has something to do with it...
Th... this has nothing to do with Aki-nee!!

Ah... he ran!
/... damnit

/haaaaah
Kouno-senpai~...

Page 17
Senpai you're going to lunch now?
Why do you people...
Always gravitate towards me...

Because senpai is so cute~ it...
Makes us want to make fun of you

Do you want to each lunch together?
I'll pass...
Are you feeling bad?
/your stomach's rumbling

No-...
I'm having my growth spurt
So I'm trying to not eat lunch
/my muscles hurt too

You don't want to grow?
Pretty much...

Page 18
Kouno-senpai is finally growing...
/his height was growing after all
It would have been nice if he was always a shounen senpai
Fuhahahahah...

Watch!
I'll become a tall, buff nice guy so you can't say cute to me ever again!!
/rumbling sounds
Oh no!
Huh!?

Senpai... didn't you say you didn't want to grow?
/you just switched

Page 19
This has nothing to do with you...
Seeya!

You should really eat something~
-... shut up

Yo!
/you don't look well

Page 20
Wh... what do you want!

You ran off in the middle of our conversation

I'm not talking to you about the future plans
My my

Page 21
It's autumn...

This season makes you feel so bittersweet

... that's why I hate autumn*

*autumn is written "aki" in Japanese... he says this in a purposefully ambiguous way

Page 22
You start thinking... and it sucks

Hey, tell me why you won't decide on a future?
I just... said I won't tell
Because it really nags at me!

I'll tell everyone that your dream when you were a kid was "to grow up into a grape"?
/the reason, because they taste good
Ah... that's dirty!
Now, tell
/bastard

Page 23
-~... fine, we'll trade
If you remember the promise, I'll tell you

Promise?
Yup... the promise I made with Aki-nee a long time ago

Promise...

Pro~mi~se~

Ah

Page 24
2nd grade Houno-kun-
/so cute

The promise...
You really don't remember it

Maachi!

He-...
Was seriously angry
Why?
/it's usually like this though

Page 25
Promise... promise
An old promise
Hnnn~!

He usually wouldn't get angry over a forgotten promise
I don't remember raising him to be angry like that

Raised... him?

I... I remember~!!

Which means...
Hey hey
Is that what's going on?
/hnnnn
What... to do
If I just apologize saying I remembered, he'd still be angry

I guess I'll have to do something dramatic this time-...
/lighting sound

Page 26
/grin~

An emergency call-up
3rd year class 1
Kouno Maachi-kun!
With great urgency, come to the career guidance room!!

Page 27
Repeating...
3rd year class 1
Kouno Maachi-kun
With great urgency, get your butt to the career guidance room- that's all!

Page 28
What the hell was that...
Aki-nee!

Th- there's no one here...

Fufufufu~...
You can't run anymore
/barricading the door

Page 29
What are you...
Here, Future Plans Sheet!
/you still haven't turned it in

I won't let you get out unless you fill it all out

Wh- what is this...
Future Plans Sheet
Not that!

This handwritten part at the end!!
As it's written
/why you started hating Aki-nee
/write in the following space

Because Maachi...
Wouldn't even tell me why he can't decide on a future
/Aki-nee is sad...
You... didnt call me for this?
I did

Page 30
Stop joking!
I told you I wouldn't tell you if you don't remember the promise!?

Be-ca-use I... remembered

"So that... you would, in the future, become a splendid groom for me
I would raise you," right?

Page 31
So why would you get so angry I didn't remember that?
You don't know...
I don't!
So helpless!!
/hnn?

Well, I remembered the promise, so tell me your reason!

I can't decide on a future because I don't want to graduate...
Why?

Because... then I wouldn't be able to see Aki-nee every day
And eventually I'd have to go out into society, my body would grow and I'd be a complete adult!
/my growth spurt's here too
Well... of course

Page 32
If I become an adult, far away from "cute"
Aki-nee... wouldn't even look at me...

So stupid!!
Stop laughing~... that's why I didn't want to say it!

"Cute" is the most important thing for Aki-nee, right?
As long as it's cute, anything's fine for you, freak!!
Such a cruel way of putting it

That's why I wanted you to remember the promise...
That way I wouldn't have to think about something this stupid!

Page 33
Alright alright, I get it
So calm down and go become a wonderful adult

I like bishounen
But I like Maachi because he's Maachi, so it's alright

Page 34
/my my

Is that it...
You should have told me earlier
How could I!
I feel so stupid

Plus, Aki-nee is an adult, you could have at least figured that much out...

I think that's not the point at all, though
Wh... then why?

No matter how much two people understand each other, they're still other people...
Even if you understand the other's feelings, it's not definite
There's always uncertainty!
/people always change, too

Page 35
That's why girls want...
A clear cut "word of love"

Older...
Adult, all of that doesn't matter
Ok?

"Word of Love"

"Word of Love"

Page 36
What are you doing?
Don't come!!

Here...
/ahh, the future plans sheet

Aki-nee...
I hate you!

/why you started hating Aki-nee
/write in the following space
/3rd grade class 1 Kouno Maachi
/love too much

Page 37
Ha~ I was worried what would happen

Well, it's great that you figure out what you want to do
/now you just have to study!
/i'll work hard
I'm sorry to worry you

Oh yeah... do you want to eat lunch?
Ah, there he is, Kouno Maachi-kun!

Page 38
Here... hand-made lunch

Aki-nee...
These actions are going to cause rumours?
Hnn-... maybe

But who cares?
/jajaaaan
/today's main course is spicy fried chicken!

Oh... well
... why'd you make lunch for me too?
Right~ actually...

Page 39
I'm going to fulfill that promise

Hnn...

Eh.. do you mean!?
