Souma: If things were being done in a normal order, then I would be first because I’m her senior! Why?!

Matsuzawa: Souma…calm down… // What about me?

Taiga: Well, how much longer is it gonna take?!

Ryuuji: I said 30 minutes, didn’t I?

Taiga: Get a move on, you useless dog!

--

Ryuuji: Rich bastards…

Box: Could it be that her living in this apartment… / means the story about her father belonging to the yakuza is true?

Ryuuji: Those damn bourgeois! // Hmm? // It’s open!

--

Ryuuji: Ah…Aisaka? // Aisaka-san?! It’s Takasu, I’m coming inside…

11.

Ryuuji: Umm… // Excuse me…

Ryuuji: Uh…What am I gonna do if her family (especially her dad) turn up?

--

Ryuuji: She was the one who threatened me into coming though!

--

Ryuuuji: Okay! / Now to make the food!

17.

Taiga: I got you to meet me because I didn’t want to be late, how did it get to be this time?! / Was it something you did?!

Ryuuji: Huh?! / I told you to eat quicker, didn’t I? / You were the one who wouldn’t let go of the rice bowl!

Taiga: I didn’t ask you to, but you got breakfast ready…I would have felt bad if there were leftovers, so I ate it all! [aside: You should be thankful!]

--

Ryuuji: Give me back my lunch!

Taiga: Shut up… // You perverted dog!

18.

Ryuuji: You…give that back! / Enough! I’ve had enough! Give me back my good intentions!

Taiga: Shut up! Go and rot.

Ryuuji: Telling me to go and rot won’t get you any rice! // Give it back!

--

Ryuuji: You’re such an ungrateful girl! / I’ve had enough!

In panel: You smell like detergent!

--

Ryuuji: I was the one who cleaned that kitchen though! [aside: Even though it’s still dirty…]

Taiga: Like I said, I didn’t ask you to!

In panel: Shut up!

--

Ryuuji: Anyway… // How long have you been living alone? / Your room reeked!

19.

Taiga: 6 months…

Ryuuji: You’re a failure as a human being! That was the worst! The water in the sink was mouldy! It was a mixture of mould, slime and garbage!

--

In panel: NOOOOO!

Taiga: Like I care…

Ryuuji: A person did that?!

Taiga: More importantly…

--

Taiga: When we get to school, are you going to work for me properly? // I won’t allow slacking off…

20.

Ryuuji: Hey…!

--

Ryuuji: As if I could cooperate with someone who acts like that! / Ugh…

Taiga: Hmm?

--

Ryuuji: D-Don’t stop all of a sudden!

Taiga: Aren’t you too close? Gross…

In panel: Don’t walk so close to me.

--

Taiga: Ah! // I knew it! // You waited for me!

21.

Taiga: Minorin!

Minori: Taiga, you’re late! I was just about to go ahead! / Hmm?

Taiga: Sorry… I didn’t think you’d still be waiting…

Ryuuji: K-Kushieda Minori!

--

Minori: EH?! // HUH?! / NO WAY!

Taiga: Minorin, what’s wrong?

In panel: You’re noisy.

Ryuuji: She even looks cute in the morning…

22.

Minori: What do you mean “What’s wrong”?! // I see… / I didn’t know… // To think that Taiga and Takasu-kun were…

--

Minori: good enough friends to be a Two Shot!

Ryuuji: WHAT?!

Taiga: That’s not it. Minorin, people don’t say things like that nowadays.

--

Minorin: I see~ Now would be…? Umm…avec?!

[TN:
Two Shot - A couple. It began being used in Japan in the late 1980s.
avec - A more modern equivalent of “Two Shot”.]

Ryuuji: No! That’s not it! / We’re not walking to school together! We just met by chance!

In panel: Haha~

--

Ryuuji: Right? // Isn’t that right, Aisaka?!

Minori: It really was just by chance?

In panel: Yes!

Aisaka: That’s right. / It seems that we live near each other.

23.

Minori: Tch…and I thought it was big news…

Ryuuji: Ah…!

Taiga: That’s enough~ It was because you assumed that!

--

Ryuuji: This is… // Could it be…

--

Ryuuji: A really big… // chance!!

24.

Box 1: Walking to school with Kushieda Minori! / I’ve dreamed of this…!

Ryuuji: It’s another sunny day…

Box 2: Could this be why Aisaka called me…?

--

Ryuuji: Aisaka’s actually an angel…

In panel: I can see her halo…

25.

Taiga: Well then…goodbye, Takasu-kun. // See you in the classroom later.

--

Taiga: Hehe… / You weren’t thinking that we’d be walking to school together, did you?

In panel: Hmm? Is that okay?

Taiga: We did only “meet by chance” after all.

--

Ryuuji: Eh? // She went back on what she said! // Hey… / Aisaka?

26.

Text: Doing better than me… // You’re out of line for a dog!

Taiga: Tch…

27.

Ryuuji: Uh... // A demon!

--

Minori: Well then, see you later! // Hey! Taiga, did you watch TV last night?!

--

Ryuuji: Yes, Kushieda-san! I saw it, the exact same program!

--

Box: How to put it? / I see…that’s how it is…

28.

Box 1: Aisaka…if things aren’t going well with Kitamura

In panel: Uh oh! We’ll be late!
Hurry up!

Box 2: You’ll keep coming between Kushieda and I.

Ryuuji: That’s pretty smart…

Box: I’ll get you and Kitamura together / as well as getting close to Kushieda!
