In panel: Hahaha!

Himeko: It’s not like that!

Girl 2: You’ve been cool since elementary school, / but now that you’re in middle school, you’re even more popular!

Himeko: I’m looking forward to Valentine’s Day! [Just kidding!]

Boy: Daichi, what are you doing? Let’s go!

Daichi: Yeah! // See ya!

Himeko: Hey…wait!

14.

Daichi: Does it bother you? / Try to live up to your name then!

In panel: Hime-chan seems friendly with Daichi-kun…that’s great!

Himeko: I’m sorry for having such a feminine name like Himeko! // If I can become that kind of girl, then I want to try! // I’m actually a fan of Himeka-chan! [Is there something wrong with that?!]

Himeko: She really looks like her!

20.

Himeko: Uwaaah!

Was that Hime-chan just now?
I’m sure a girl running that fast would be Hime-chan…

Erika: I’ve found you.

Himeko: Hasekura likes girls like Himeka-chan! // Of course!! She’s cute!!

21.

Himeko: It’s just our names that are really similar…

Girl: Doesn’t she look like Himeka-chan?!

Daichi: You’ve both got ‘Hime” in your name, but you’re completely different! // Himeko-chan, covered in scratches!

22.

Himeko: I… // I want to become that kind of girl! I don’t want our names to be the only similarity! // Still… // If only I could become Himeka-chan!!

Erika: Well then…

23.

Erika: Why don’t… // you try?

Himeko: Eh…?

24.

Text 2: Huh?

Text 3: A magical ribbon? Is this a dream? Transformation…?

Box: This girl…

27.

Himeko: Why does she look like me?!

Erika: That’s right! I haven’t introduced myself yet! / My name is…

Himeko: Ah! // Are you a ghost?! A doppelganger?!

Erika: Eh? // No…that’s not it…

Himeko: Right…I ran all the way here without thinking…

28.

Box: Now I see it up close…this is the old school building! / The old school building in the middle of campus which is no longer used!

Himeko: The old school building that no one goes near because of ghosts appearing! // There’s a ghost!

Erika: I told you I’m not a ghost!

Himeko: Then who are you?!

29.

Erika: I’m Erika! / A queen from the magical world! // Nice to meet you, Himeko Nonohara!

Box: Magical…

30.

Himeko: Magical world…? A queen??

Erika: That’s right!

Himeko: Liar! As if I’d believe that! [How do you know my name?]

Erika: It’s true! The proof is that we have the same face. // I came here because I’ve got a favour to ask.

Himeko: A favour?

Erika: Each person in the magical world will always have someone who looks like them in the human world. / You’re the one who looks like me! // I’d like to / observe you for one year!

31.

Himeko: Observe…me?

Erika: That’s right! / In the magical world… // Members of the royal family have to undergo training. / Part of this training // is to give the person who looks like you one magical power for a year and write a diary of your observations!

32.

Erika: This magical ribbon I’m giving to you / has the power of transformation.

Himeko: Transformation…it can’t be…

Erika: Try it out! // Come on, stand in front of this mirror!

33.

Himeko: A mirror?! What you just did was magic too?

Erika: Yes!

In panel: Did that surprise you?

Himeko: Then I can really… // I can… / become the model Himeka?!

Erika: Of course! Stand in front of something that shows your reflection! / That window over there would be fine, but let’s try something a little more extravagant because it’s the first time!

34.

Erika: Put both your hands in front of your face.

Himeko: Like this?

Text 1: Will that…

Erika: Then / just say the name of the person you want to transform into! // The magic words are // “Parallel, Parallel”!

Text 2: really happen…

SFX: gulp

35.

Himeko: Parallel / Parallel // Become the model Himeka!

37.

Himeko: Gyaa… / Gyaa! I really did transform!

In panel: Wow! That’s amazing!

Himeko: It’s like I’m another person…even though that’s not the case! // My face is small! My hair is silky! I’m stylish!

Erika: You’ve got a pendant, right? That’s…

Himeko: Even Hasekura-senpai will be crazy about me! [Kyaa!]

Erika: Look at the pendant!

38.

Himeko: Eh? Oh…this one.

Erika: The ribbon becomes a pendant while you’re transformed. // You’ll return to normal within an hour, / so the pendant lets you know three minutes before that!

Himeko: Ah…

Erika: Well, / I’ll be returning to the magical world for a while.

Himeko: [Ah] You’re going to fly there on that?!

Erika: Yes! It’s cute, right? ♥ I made it myself!

39.

Erika: Well then, see you later! / Try not to meet the person you’ve transformed into!

Himeko: She really flew… [Ah…] // Okay! // [I’m sure that] the cram school Hasekura-senpai goes to is around here…

Manager: Himeka! / I thought you’d disappeared during the break! / What are you doing out without a disguise on?

Himeko: Eh? Who is she? [Could she be her manager?]

Manager: Come on! We’re going back!

Daichi: What are you doing?!

Himeko: Ah / I didn’t realise!

Daichi: You’re a popular model, right? / You’re attracting too much attention! At least wear a disguise!

Himeko: Sorry!

Daichi: Jeez… // You don’t seem like the type to have “Hime” in their name!

Himeko: Is he talking about me?!

Box: Himeko

Himeko: Calm down…I’m Himeka!

In panel: Himeka Smile

Himeko: Ah…you know a girl with “Hime” in her name? / Really?

Daichi: Yeah // [Ahahaha] I do! A girl who acts like a boy! [She jumps and runs about like a monkey!]

Himeko: Eh?

In panel: Why is he laughing?

47.

Daichi: The next thing I knew, she had fresh scratches…is she a kid or something? [Ahahahaha!]

Himeko: He’s just saying whatever he wants! // That’s a pretty mean way of saying things! // So you don’t see her as a girl? / She’s not cute at all! // He really…
