p1:
I’m not 18 yet.

But I will be one day.
I haven’t had sex with my girlfriend yet, either.

But I think I will, one day.
I want to.

p2:
Chapter 122: My Rose-colored Life.
What color rose best suits me?

p3:
Ding-dong!

For goodness sake! You could’ve told me you were coming.

If I did, I was afraid you wouldn’t meet with me, Yuki-san…
Huh?

Quit it! / Shuu-kun, do you think I’m angry with you? That I’ve been angry all this time?

p4:
Well, I was opposed to it…

But now, / one of your friend came to my place to be an apprentice.

Mako-chan?
Yep, Mako-chan.

I didn’t really want him to, / but I thought I had to do something for him.

Kinda silly, really.

I even went all the way to see his parents.

p5:
When he told me to come see them, / I was surprised.

To be honest, I thought, “I don’t want to go! They’ll just get angry at me!”

Well, I figured at least that this would make him start anew and give up.

So I went. And then….

p6:
Please take good care of my son.

Who was she? / Some new type of person?

Or are my parents just relics? / I was realllly surprised.

p7:
And then I thought: the kid will be fine, even without me.

If people like that are around, then those like my parents are long gone.

So then! / I started to wonder how you would do, Shuu-kun. / I did turn you down once.

But I wonder if that was the right choice.

I started to get curious, / if only a little.

p8:
I have something I need to ask you.

I’m writing a novel, and…

Really? Gathering material?

What, you planning on becoming a writer?

……….. / I would like to, if I can.

p9:
Do you write lies?

If you’re going to write lies, make sure they’re persuasive ones.

That day, / I became known as Lulu’s child. She called me “Lilly.”

p10:
After the sports festival? / That hasn’t even happened yet.
That’s how I figure things will go.

What is this, even? Your future diary?

p11:
Hey, did Yuki

tell you some story about how I “died”?

That I had an affair with some guy I lived with, but his main found out and stabbed me?

THAT BITCH IS SUCH A LIAR!! / (outside of bubble): And her personality is horrible. / Don’t go falling for any of her sob stories. / Just because she’s got a pretty face and managed to snag the first guy she had a crush on. Really, she has everything!!

p12:
The best praise anyone’s ever given me is that I’m pretty good-natured, for a pig.
Snort

p13:
She’s amazing.

The proprietress is really amazing.

She doesn’t do all the talking. / I was able to talk smoothly, too.

And she’s really good at listening. / I made sure to learn a lot / about that.

p14:
Sign: Nitori

Mom?
Oh—you surprised me.

Is Doi-san here yet?
Ah… not yet, I think.

p15:
Are you coming today, / Mom?
Huh?

I know you packed as if you were going, but why?

I’m going to be wearing a cheerleader outfit today.

I know. I saw it last year. / That’s how it works, right?

I volunteered myself.

p16:
So Mom, / you don’t have to come if you don’t want to.

Umm.

This is…

a wig. / I bought a new one….

I don’t have to go this far. It’s just a school activity.

But I’m doing it because I want to.

p17:
I guess, / well… / I’m sorry.

I know I’m not the kind of son you wanted…

The— / The son I wanted?

p18:
What do you even know about what I wanted?!!!!!!!!!!

Ooyyy! / Doi’s mom’s waiting for us outside!

Huh? Whoa?! / What?! / Why’s Mom crying?!

p19:
Wow! / Nitorin, you’re so cute!

You bought a new wig, huh?

Huh? / Yuki-san told you?
Yeah.

And I’m gonna write a bit about you too, Mako-chan.
Really? You’re not going to write anything embarrassing, right?

p20:
You know, / I always wanted to be a girl.

That’s why I kept wearing girls’ clothes more and more openly.

I think what I wanted was to be viewed as something that was accepted.

p21:
Something that people wouldn’t talk about behind my back.

Something that my parents wouldn’t scold.

Something that wouldn’t stand out at school.

Something that could live. / I wasn’t given those things.

But I am something charming, like Mr. A said.

p22:
I’m something twisted, but I’m something blessed, too.

Umm, / I know it’s long, so don’t feel like you have to read it all. / And I think I’m going to go take this off.
No. Keep it on.

I’m the one who said she wanted to see you in it.
Ah… yeah.

Huh?

Wh—what’s wrong? / I’m sorry—I guess I shouldn’t have made you read something so weird.
No, that’s not it…

p23:
You can just stop reading, / OK?
NO!!

(outside bubble): Sorry.
That’s not it.

Reading this / made me feel

like you’re about to die.

But you can’t die.

p1:
(Left): My heart, as it is.
Chapter 121: Loving Heart

p2:
Mii-tan?

…Mitori. / We have to talk.
Sidebar: Ebina-san, who can’t give up crossdressing, is finally telling his daughter the truth…?

I think I might want to become your mother.

Wait, what? That’s hilarious, lol
(Midori, age 16 ・A)

I’m sorry; what?
(Midori, age 16 ・B)

p3:
You wouldn’t understand, would you?/ <aside: You’ll catch a cold. >

Huh? Me?

p4:
I’m sorry. I know it’s a weird thing to ask.
No, it’s fine. And you may.

Umm, you won’t use my real name, right?
Yeah.

A novel, huh?

Are you going to enter it for the Subaru Literary Award?
That’s not really why I’m doing this…

You should do whatever you can while you’re still young.

Do you regret anything, Ebina-san?

p5:
…Regret what?

Getting married, / or having children?

p6:
I don’t regret either of those.

But when I think of how others see me, / I wish I looked a little more charming.

“Like you do,” / Mr. A said.

p7:
Mother?
Hm?

What would you say if I dropped out of school?

What?!
I’m just asking…

Nitori Satomi was afraid of her son.
Or perhaps it would be better to say he spooked her.

p8:
Nitori Shuuichi felt the same way, sometimes.

No… / the words aren’t coming out right.

Scared of myself? / Spooked by myself? / I’ve never felt that way in my life.

When I grew stuck, I masturbated again.

p9:
SFX: GYahahahaha!

This is hilarious! / Damn, man, do you ever stop masturbating?

And it’s hilarious how you keep doing it more and more! / This is great. Just continue your awakening like this. / I don’t even care if I show up anymore.
SFX: Heh heh
You will, I assure you.

Because I’ll never forget you passing my notebook around.

p10:
Damn, he really is scary.
OK. / He liked it…

I never realized we rode the same train!

Ah, / but I thought I saw you now and then, on the way there and back.
<aside>: Really?

You should’ve said something!
Hahaha…

p11:
You wrote this, Nitori-kun?!
Y—Yeah.
Wow. / Amazing. / This takes me back…

p12:
Is this… / about you?
Yeah.

I… / I want to write our story, Takatsuki-san.

p13:
I’ll go ahead and refill your water.
Thank you.

I don’t think I want to become a guy anymore…
Excuse me.

p14:
Yeah. / I know…

Also, I… / I think I might like you, Nitori-kun.

p15:
I was surprised, and masturbated again that night.

Please don’t cry, Chiba-san…
But I…

p16:
I always thought you and Nitori-kun were soulmates.
Didn’t you like him, too?

Just forget about me.
Weirdo.

Looks like we both got rejected by Nitori-kun.
Don’t say it like that.

We did.
Quit it. It sounds lame.

I wasn’t that shocked when he rejected me.

Were she and I kindred spirits?

p17:
But it feels like there’s less and less tying me and Nitori-kun together, now. / It’s kinda sad.
But that’s…

He said he wanted to write both your stories, right?
Yeah…

Nitori-kun… / he was always like that.

Even long ago.
You two shared something, / something I could never be.

I was jealous of that, envious. / So please, don’t say something so upsetting.

p18:
Maybe I should try going to a mixer?

Just kidding!

I think I might like you, Takatsuki-san…

p19:
Oh yeah! I remember now! / Back then, Nitori-kun said “I think I might like you”!

I think I might like you, Nitori-kun.

How embarrassing… / We each said the same thing.

Nitori-kun was just in grade school at the time, so it’s fine for him to say it, / but I’m already a high school sophomore.

p20:
You’re kidding! / He’s actually going to wear that during the athletic meet?!

p21:
Stupid, right?
Boys’ high schools are weird!

But I…

I’ve imagined myself fucking Shuu while he’s dressed like that.

She never told me that herself / until well after the sports festival.

p22:
And long after the first time we had sex.

p23:
Yes, yes, thanks for waiting. / How old were you, again?
I’m 18.

Can I see your student ID?
………..

Hmm….

OK, yep, you’re 18 all right. / Welcome aboard.

p24:
When can you start?
Huh?
You can start today, if you’d like.

Th-- / Then-- / Today!

The proprietress’s name was Lulu. / She was an old acquaintance of Yuki-san’s.

p1:
I can’t help but feel lost.
Chapter 120: First Voices

p2:
It’s not much at all. / Really, it’s barely anything.
C’mon—Look, I get it, just show me already!

(sidebar): Happy, but embarrassed…

Hey—I said it wasn’t much.

It was taken back when your hair was long, so it seems so fresh.
And I know I’m not really smiling with my eyes!

p3:
You seem the most adult in this, Takatsuki-kun.
Quit it! That just makes it sound like I’ve gotten old.
<Handwritten>: That’s not what I meant!

Wow. / You should boast about this at school!

Amazing…
Right? / That’s enough, so close it!

I feel like people are staring at me; it’s embarrassing…
Hey, isn’t that her?
Yeah, I see it. Wow…

p4:
I feel like you might get really distant soon.
Huh? Where’d that come from?

I mean, I’m barely even in the magazine…

Where do you want to go today?

p5:
Sign: Popular model Maiko openly holds hands with someone on a date! Shocking pictures!

I hope no one weird goes after Nitori-kun and Anna-chan…

You’ll have to be careful yourself in a few years, Takatsuki-san.
<aside: Hey, quit it! > / I’ve only made it in the magazine once!

Besides, Suehiro Anna isn’t famous enough for someone to try to get a scoop like that.
You could have just said that first!

Sign: Nitori

p6:
Shuu, have you seen this? / It’s Takatsuki-kun’s picture.
Huh?

p7:
Wow!
That surprised me!

Ah, yes! / Oh, Nitori-kun!

Huh? You saw it? Really? / Wow!

C’mon! It’s so small, I don’t know if it even counts as me being in the magazine…

The voice on the other end didn’t sound like Nitori-kun’s.

p8:
It sounded like a man’s.

p9:
Nitori-kun?

p10:
(upper right): The train will soon be arriving.
I lost my chance to raise my voice to him.

Nitori-kun?

p11:
Isn’t it amazing, to run into him on the way to and the way home?

Yes?

p12:
I’m off!

Ah!

Ah— / the trains’ here. / I finally saw him again, but the timing was horrible…

p13:
Huh? / <little text> He’s staring.

I knew it was you!
Ariga-kun!

<little text> What? / Stop staring at people’s faces. It’s creepy.
I didn’t know when to raise my voice!

p14:
Studying for tests?
Yeah. / You guys have test soon too, Ariga-kun?
Yup.

Ah! / Nitorin, over here.

There’s seats next to the bathroom.

Good luck!

p15:
My drink’s empty. / Do you want anything, Chiba-san?
I’m still good.

Umm, I’ll have a Chamomile Tea…
I’ll have the same!

<small text> Welcome!
<smaller text> Tee hee.

p16:
I ran into Nitori-kun once more, / in front of the bathroom.

It’s weird. / It’s something so simple, but...

p17:
handwritten text: Memories

Huh? Where did I put it?

Ah!

Found it!

p18:
Like this, you two will look like lovers.

Nitori-kun, Takatsuki-san, / you both look amazing.

Amazing, / huh…

p19:
I saw Nitori-kun again today.

But naturally I missed my chance to raise my voice.

From where I was standing, I could see a little bit of him.

p20:
I didn’t run into him at the station on the way home.

I felt relieved;

I felt lonely.

I didn’t see him the next morning, either.

p21:
That time I was definitely lonely.

My first love was a girl in my class. / She was boyish, and always overflowing with confidence.

p22:
And she gave me a kick in the pants when I needed it.

Were she and I kindred spirits?

p23:
Takatsuki-san!
Huh? / Ah! / Nitori-kun!
Wow! You surprised me! / What? Oh, because it’s right before tests, right?

Ah, / yeah, I’m studying for tests.

<small text> I have to go study, too!

I thought then / that I might like Nitori-kun.

p24:
But Nitori-kun has Anna-chan.

As for me,
back when we were little, / Nitori-kun said he loved me, but…

But since we were such children…

Makoto: I’m in trouble.

Makoto: Yesterday, I…

[sign]: Bread and ~ / Ariga Bakery

Makoto’s Mom: Mako, you’ve been getting kinda buff lately.
Makoto’s dad: Yeah, you’re right.

Makoto: Quit it! You’ll jinx me!
Makoto’s mom: What’s so bad about it? You’re starting to look macho!

p4:
Makoto: But I don’t want to look macho! Why can’t I just be slender?!
Makoto’s dad: I just don’t think that’s in the cards.
Makoto’s mom: Our family’s always been big-boned, so I don’t think you’ll wind up slender.

Makoto: I know it’s not really my business, but / you’ve started to buff up too, Nitorin.

Makoto: Though you look cool like that!

Shuu: If my muscles keep getting bigger…
Makoto: Yeah?

Shuu: I might not be able to dress as a girl anymore.
Makoto: Society wouldn’t let you get away with that, huh?

p5:
Shuu: Life sucks, huh…
Makoto: Yeah, life sucks. / You know you’re lucky, right?

Makoto: … you angry?
Shuu: No, that’s not it.

Shuu: Mako-chan, you always talk as if you’re horrible, but

p6:
Shuu: I think you’re cute. Honest.
<asides>: Ah! / Yuck!

Makoto: What—/ Where’d that come from?!
<aside: Don’t spit at me! / S—sorry. >

Makoto: Man… / You’re such a natural gigolo, Nitorin—it’s kinda scary.

Makoto: And you have a girlfriend, too. / Ah, this is scary!

[sign: Nitori]

p7:
Anna: You’re tired, huh.
Shuu: Yeah….

Anna: It’s because the baseball tournament’s coming up, isn’t it?
Shuu: Yeah. / And I have tests, too…

Anna: OK then! / I’ll give you a massage!
Shuu: Huh? You don’t need to do that!

Anna: C’mon! I just learned how, and I want to try it out!
Shuu: Ah…

Anna: The masseuse who taught me was amazing!
Shuu: Really?

p8:
Anna: Yeah. / So, how’s your job doing? / You seem so busy.
Shuu: Yeah…

Shuu: Things aren’t going so well, / so I’m taking a break for a little while.

Shuu: I asked an acquaintance to cover for me…

Minamoto: Hey! / I’m here! I’m right in front of Café Brazil, umm…

p9:
[sign]:Looking for Waitresses
Minamoto: It looks like they’re looking for part-timers; do you mind if I ask for the job?

Minamoto: You’ll give me a recommendation, right, Nitori-kun?
Manager: Isn’t that great?

Anna: That’s stupid! / Now you owe her one!
Shuu: I know…

p10:
Anna: Huh? / If you owe her one, then…

Anna: Now she’s going to ask you to let her interview you in exchange!
Shuu: She already did.

Anna: Huh… Then, well, I guess you’ll just have to make do.
Shuu: … Yeah.

p11:
Minamoto: I always figured that guys who dress as girls would be attracted to guys.

Minamoto: But to think you have a girlfriend… / Does she know?
Shuu: Yeah.

Minamoto: That’s even stranger!

p12:
Shuu: A—

Shuu: Anna-chan!
Anna: Ye— / yes!

Wah-wah / wah?! / What are you two doing up there?!
Anna: Nothing!

Maho: I’m gonna tell Maiko-chan!
Anna: Don’t!

p15:
Anna: What the hell?!!

Anna: I really did learn from a master masseuse. / And I did exactly what she taught me…

Anna: I just wanted to touch Shuu.

p16:
Woman: Um… We’ve reached the first floor.
Anna: Oh!

Anna: Please excuse me. / When exactly did I get on the elevator?!
Woman: Have a good day.

Maho: Don’t do that stuff.
Shuu: Do what?

Maho: You shouldn’t do that kind of thing until you’re an adult. <aside: Hahhhh…. >
Shuu: And what is “that kind of thing”?

Maho: Don’t play dumb.

p17:
Shuu: And what about you and Seya? / <aside>: Huh?! / Who’d want to be in a love story with you?! / Please don’t answer that…

Ebina: Ah… I left her with my mother.

p21:
Ebina: I thought she might get in the way between us.

Nitori: I’ll pretend to be your daughter for today.

Ebina: Thank you.

p22:
Ebina: Isn’t this what you’d call an offline meet-up?
Nitori: Ah… maybe. / I’m not terribly familiar with those…

Nitori: Were the dates I went on with Takatsuki-san “offline meet-ups”? / Chiba-san was there, too…

Ebina: You seem really confident, Nitori-kun. / Were you like that from the beginning?

Nitori: Huh? No, not at all.

Nitori: I was really nervous, and kind of embarrassed.

p23:
Nitori: I was nervous today, too. / I mean, what if I run into someone I know?
Ebina: Haha... Yeah, that would be scary.

Ebina: If I ran into someone I know… / I guess it’d be the end of me.

p24:
Nitori: What—what is it?

Ebina: That—that woman—I had a marriage interview recently with the woman we just passed.

Ebina: If she recognized me, it’ll be the end of me. / For real….

Shirai: Err, I don’t think she’s coming.

Chizuru: Oh? Then I guess I’ll give up on going.

Shirai: Yeah. Don’t push yourself too hard. / Take care. / Bye.

p3:
Sasa: What’d she say?
Shirai: She’s had a fever since yesterday. / She said it got worse.

Makoto: Man, must be nice in an all-girls’ school…

p4:
Makoto: Why’d I have to pick an all-boys’ school? / What am I going to do during the sports festival?

Anna: You’re going to be a cheerleader, right?
Shuu: Yeah.

Anna(?): You’re kidding! / But Shuu would look amazing as a cheerleader! / It’d be great if they let you dress in a girl’s cheerleading outfit…

Shuu: Apparently, every year some upperclassmen do it, so…
Makoto: Yeah. It seems like some of the teachers crossdress, too.
Anna: Really? Sounds like fun!

p5:
Makoto: But it’s badminton, and chorus, and cheerleading too!. / It doesn’t make any sense!
Anna: Ahaha

Anna(?): And you’re working part-time now, right? That’s so cool!
Makoto: I’m just helping out my family. Nitorin’s a lot more impressive.
Anna(?): Huh?

Makoto: Nitorin, you didn’t tell them about your job?

Anna: What is it? What is it?
Shuu: Ermmmm… / Mako-chan!
Makoto: Sorry.

p6:
Makoto: But what’s the big deal? You were going to tell them eventually, right?
Shuu: Well yes, but…

Anna: Really?

Anna: That’s it? There’s nothing weird about working in a café.
Shuu: But I’m working as a girl, so…
Anna: And that’s perfectly normal for you.

Anna: I thought it was going to be something more dangerous.
Shuu: What do you mean, “dangerous”?

Makoto(?): But now a weird girl’s started researching him.
Anna(?): “Researching”?

p7:

Shirai: It’s amazing. / A star is singing right in front of me. <aside: She has such a cute voice>

Shirai: I can’t believe someone my age is going out with someone like that.

Shirai: There’s something wrong with her going out with a crossdresser…

p9:
Anna: It’s Chiba-san! / Chiba-san, hurry up and sing something!
Sasa: Saorin, there’s a spot over here.
Chiba: It’s so noisy…

p10:
Sasa: Here you go.
Chiba: Thanks.
Anna: Hey, / hey, / hey!

Chiba: What is it?
Anna: Did you really get a boyfriend?

Anna: S— / Sorry.

Anna(?): I was hoping you’d bring him with you, too.
Chiba: What are you, an idiot?

Shuu: Yeah.

Shuu: Huh. / Yes.

Shuu: Right now? I guess, but…

p13:
Minamoto: That man we spoke to last time—what was his name?

Shuu: E…Ebina-san, / I think?
Minamoto: Oh, yeah, that’s right! / Have you heard anything from him?

Shuu: … I haven’t, but…

Minamoto: Ah, I figured as much. / There was so much I still wanted to ask him, too… / Well, that’s fine. / Nitori-kun, are you free today?

p14:
Shuu: I’m at Karaoke with some friends.
Minamoto: Oh, really? Sounds nice. / So, when will you have some spare time?

Shuu: Well, I’ve gotta practice for the sports festival, and I have club activities, and my job, too, / so I don’t think we’ll be able to meet up.
Minamoto: C’mon! All I need is 15 minutes, or a half-hour!

Shuu: … I’m sorry.

Shuu: But I don’t like just being your research subject.
Minamoto: Huh?

p15:
Shuu: So I don’t think I’ll be much use to you from now on.

Minamoto: …… / Ah. / OK. / Yeah. That makes sense. / OK then. / I’m sorry to have bothered you.

SFX: Click

Shuu: Maybe I was a little too harsh on her… / But that really is how I feel.

SFX: *Creak* <specifically, it’s the sound of a door opening. I’m blanking on something better. >
Anna: Ah. / You’re finally back.

p16:
Anna: Who were you talking with for so long?
Shuu: The person in charge of our class reunion. / And afterwards, the researcher I mentioned before.

Shuu: Well, I’ve always liked cute things. / But I started wearing girls’ clothes because of…

Takatsuki: Then you should wear it, Nitori-kun!

p19:
Takatsuki: It’d look great on you!

Shuu: Takatsuki-san.

Shuu: Takatsuki-san told me I should, / and then / Chiba-san said she’d give me lots of clothes…

I'm leaving!

sfx: Click

sfx: Slam

95-3 Mako-chan's late

sfx: thumpa thumpa thumpa

95-4 Ah, you're still waiting?
You'll be late!

96-1 I'm going!

Chapter 46 Party Preparations (2)

97-1 Ehh?

Ariga Bakery [in window]

97-2 Mako left for school a whiiiile ago

97-3 Here, take some bread. Here.

97-4 See you!

97-5 Mako-chan...

98-1 ...but, look

98-2 When I run into Nitorin, I'm going to end up giving it to him. I know it.

98-3 I'm too embarrassed to perform in front of people...

I'm asking you to!

98-4 I can totally see myself
Caving in like that

98-5 And... I'm sorry for you and Nitorin, but
In my heart of hearts, I don't want to give up this role

99-1 If that's the case, then don't. Give it your best shot.

But if only I give it my best shot, it's meaningless!
I want everyone to give it their best shot!

99-2 I'm not good at doing that with everyone

You're so self centered...

99-3 You too, right?

99-4 If you gave the role to Nitori-kun, you wouldn't have these weird feelings of guilt

99-5 Ah
Look here now
It's not like the whole world revolves around you and Nitorin, ok!?

100-1 So now you're saying what you really think

100-2 That's right

The world doesn't revolve around Nitori-kun

100-3 ...don't just focus on that part

It's so boring that no one dies!

100-4 Kill them, kill them, I'll kill them all!

100-5 Hey now...

Everyone should die
Romeo. Juliet too.

I'll kill every single one of them

101-1 So no one will be left

Th...

That's morbid!

101-2 That's right!
I'm morbid, all right!

101-3 That's why I have no friends!

101-4 So...

101-5 So you're saying that Sasa-chan isn't your friend?

If Sasa-chan heard that, she's really be hurt!

102-3 And I consider you my friend too!

102-4 What are you yelling about

102-6 Good Morning!

Good morning

You're full of energy

103-1 Teacher's Room

103-2 So
So why are you making changes

Now of all times?

103-3 You're the one who said you wanted to see people die, sensei

Th... That's not what I meant

103-4 I've just come to think that a little extreme sadness would make it more interesting

103-5 Le...
Let's talk about this again after school
Ok?

104-1 Why...?

104-4 I'm just not suited for working as part of a group, I guess

104-5 Even though you and I tried to make it something more

Everyday everyone would come and mess with it

What we ended up with was nothing more that regular old "Romeo and Juliet"

105-1 That's ok by me. It was pretty fun everyday

They just wanted to cut up and have a good time!

105-2 They thought it was a pain, and just kept on playing around

And after you and I both worked so hard on it, right?

105-3 And if you would have been Juliet, it would have been wonderful

That's the only reason I could put up with it

105-4 Ah
Thanks...

And now he...

105-5 Him, of all people...

Ah, that's right. Have you seen Mako-chan?

105-6 He was busy humbling himself earlier
He said he was going to give you the role

106-1 I didn't say that!

106-2 I didn't think so

I mean, come on!
Just who does she think she is, anyway...?

106-3 But...
You must have had your hopes up a bit, huh?

106-4 ...I did, a little. Maybe.
Sorry

106-5 Thanks...
for being honest with me

107-1 So I'm going to be honest with you
I really want to do this after all
No matter what...

107-2 Even if I get laughed at

107-3 No one's going to laugh at you

107-4 You just don't get it, Nitorin...

107-6 Sorry!
I'm just complaining now
Anyway, I'm going to give it my best!

107-7 They... laughed at me

108-2 At me...
And at Takatsuki-san too...

But then I met you, Mako-chan

108-3 We became friends...

108-4 Since you told me not to mind
other people laughing at me, I could...

Nitorin

108-5 If people laugh, I'm promise to get mad at them

108-6 So, that's why...

Hey, Nitorin!

109-1 My bad!
Hey
I was just poking at you a bit, ok?

Mm...

109-4 Let's explain it to them

109-5 Let explain to them exactly what we want to do

110-1 And if everyone thinks it's a good idea
Then let's re-do it from scratch

110-2 ...yeah

110-3 I didn't realize things had gotten like that

110-4 I... Remember? I got mad and left halfway through and that was that.

Ah, yeah, that

110-5 Oh, that was when I pissed you off

It really wasn't your fault, Chi-chan

111-1 Really, it was Chiba-san's brother that was the problem

Ah, that's not really Chiba-san's brother

111-2 Eh?
Then who was it?

111-3 You're going to redo it? After it was decided on? Just what are you doing?

112-1 Are you stupid, or what? Be quiet!

This isn't just your play, you know!

112-2 Just where do you think we are?

Because you're so self centered, we can't practice at all

112-3 Because you guys kept messing with the script, it's useless! right!?

112-4 ...and we got kicked out

112-5 It's your fault

You were the final straw

112-6 Aren't you Takatsuki-san's friend

Wha?

113-1 Not especially

Recently she's been too friendly...

113-2 She's even calling her "Chi-chan" now

Wha!?

113-3 Drama Club

That's right

113-4 We can't spend money on the play like the pros
So we'll have to make everything

113-5 Sensei, my bust is pretty large, so I want to wrap it or something

113-6 Must be nice to be worried about that

114-1 I had a sempai back in high school
Who always wrapped her bust in a sarashi [a long band of cotton]
Like this here

114-2 Whaat?
What a pain

Sensei, did you do it too?

114-3 I didn't have to

Ahahaha

...that's it

114-4 That's it!

That's it!

That's it

114-5 It's not like I have to wear a bra [italicize bra]

There are other things I can do!

Computer room

115-1 Ka-cha

Be Quiet In This Room

115-2 Ah, here you are

This is unusual
...something to look up?

115-3 Yeah, something...

115-4 Clicka click clicka

116-1 ...I know it's gonna be hard, but
Good luck!

116-2 Did you want to do it?
Romeo

116-3 I did, but...

It's ok

116-6 ...oh?

117-1 I've got to go to Nitori-kun's house for a meeting now
Goodbye

Ah
Yeah
Bye bye

117-2 Slam

117-4 Riiing

117-5 Hello

117-6 Ah, Nitori-kun?

Has Chiba-san gone home already?

118-1 Uh, she wasn't here...

Huh? She said she was going to

118-2 ...anyway
Whatever

Listen

118-3 You wanna go out somewhere?

Somewhere?

Mmm...
Somewhere.

118-4 Somewhere far!

118-5 Somewhere...

118-6 Somewhere

Far

44-4 sfx: Vrrrrrrr
sfx: beep boop pip

45-1 Ah
I gotta give you one before I forget!

sfx: Vrrrrrr

45-2 Here, it's an invite

What's this?

Culture festival

45-3 Maho, did you make this yourself?

Yeah
We all have to make our own

45-4 Nishigaoka
Culture Festival

Matsuhiro Anna-sama
Invited by
2-1 Nitori

45-5 I really want to invite Maiko-chan too, but
I'd feel bad if she caused a riot

Well sorry for not causing riots!

45-6 Well, ok
I'll go check out your boyfriend

Anna-chan, don't go falling in love with him

45-7 Like I would

46-1 Hey you two! Get into the bath already!

46-2 Ooookay

46-3 We can really stretch out since your sister isn't here, huh?

Yeah

46-4 That's cute

Hehehe
My bath set

46-5 What?
You're really going to buy that?

Ah, shut up already

My mom was totally making fun of me when I bought this

47-2 Ok, go take your time

47-3 Click

47-4 Ah
We have ice cream

Ok

47-5 We can stretch out since onee-san isn't here, huh?

Well...

48-1 You want ice cream?

...yeah

48-2 Strawberry, vanilla, chocolate
Which do you want?

Strawberry, I think...

48-3 Hey, Nitorin...

48-4 This is taking all my courage...
So don't laugh, ok?

48-5 I...
Brought a swim suit

49-2 ...I think it's probably one of my mom's old ones

Eh

49-3 She's always laughing at me, so...

49-4 I was trying to get back at her
She told me to throw it away
And then...

49-5 But that A-line is so cute it's unfair

50-1 Even if the person wearing it is twisted, the clothing itself has no sin...

Mako-chan...

50-2 I'm perverted...

50-3 I stole my mom's swimsuit

And I wore it

in someone else's bath

50-6 It really is

51-1 Cute...

51-2 Click

51-3 Good night

Nitorin

51-5 Nitorin, do you want to wear it too?

51-6 Eh...?

52-1 I want to hear

Your real

Honest feelings

52-3 Mm...

52-4 I want to...
I think

Y...

Yeah, right!

52-5 So unfair
An A-line that cute...

Author's Comments

002-1 Yuki-san reads Hourou Musuko and brings us up to date

Character Introductions

Nitori Shuuichi

It's like looking at me when I was a boy. The biggest difference is that I didn't have friends back then. Girls tease him because they're envious of how cute he is. Boys pick on him and tease him too....
Well, the story is mainly about that. Ah, he also like to bake goodies. That's another way he's different from me. I'm not good at cooking. Well, it's more that I hate it.

Takatsuki Yoshino
Oh my, I don't need to re-read the story, I remember it like yesterday. I thought to myself "well, there's a cute little boy" and started talking to him before I thought about it. After that, all sort of people criticized me "what were you intending, talking to a boy like that". However, no matter what your expectations are, isn't it simply manners to greet cute kids like that? Well, Shi-chan often scolds me about that stuff. But, it's all good, right?

Chiba Saori
She sure seems like an eccentric girl, doesn't she? Maybe because she isolates herself? I can't bring myself to hate awkward kids like this. Oh, my my my.... I see. She loves Shuu-kun and hates Yoshino-chan, hmm? I've learned something pretty important here. Well, no more excuses. My ability to not hate her is slipping. I hope she gets along with them, but looking at what she's done up 'till now - well...

003-1 Ariga Makoto
I used to work in a bar with someone who reminds me of him. Takes me back... Well, what's past is past. Shuu-kun's best "male friend". Shuu-kun has lots of nice friends. Yeah, that makes me pretty jealous.

Sarashina Chizuru

Shirai Momoko
She came to the school's opening ceremony wearing a boy's uniform. That took guts! I was pretty unassuming in junior high, so I'm sure I would have hated someone who stood out so much. But she seems like a nice girl, so that makes me feel better. I bet it would have been fun to have these two as friends back then. ...oh my, I must seem like I've been complaining a bit, huh? Sorry. But I'm ok now. Don't worry about me.

Seya Riku
Let me just get it out there. I really love kids like this.

Ah, don't tell Shi-chan, ok?

Nitori Maho
Shuu-kun's big sister. Mmm, how should I put this? She seem to be the kinds that wields a lot of power. I wonder if that's how Shuu-kun became so quiet?
I have an older brother, but he never teased me like that. Well, my older brother is pretty weird.

Sasa Kanako
Of course I remember her. She's the one who was so energetic and came over to say hi, right? She often gets stuck between a rock and a hard place because of interactions between Shuu-kun's friends. Don't make her cry! Shuu-kun and Yoshino-chan must be happy to have such a good friend like her. But when she has to think hard, her head "get's itchy". What does she do when finals come around?

Shi-chan
Shi-chan was my classmate, however...
But we never had the kind of relationship that Shuu-kun and Yoshino-chan have. Shi-chan had lots of friends, and I was always by myself.
Ah... But I hung in there! Some day, I'll tell the whole story, so forgive me for now. Shi-chan was the one who grabbed Yoshino-chan's crotch. Don't you think he also does some pretty reckless things?

Seems that way...

007-2 Summer Vacation just started, so I thought they'd be here...

Anyway, let's leave invitations for them

007-3 slide

007-4 To Yuki-san and Shi-chan
We made you invitations to our culture festival. Please come.

Nitori. Takatsuki.

sfx: clunk

007-5 What should we do now...?

Ice cream!

008-2 Ok, so we can have two each!

Yeah

008-3 Mm

008-4 Mm

008-5 MMmmm!

009-6 As a guy, do you like the female Takatsuki-san?

010-1 Or do you want
To become a girl, and have Takatsuki-san love you like that?

010-4 Eh...
Um, Well

010-5 When you put me on the spot like that...

011-1 But that's your real desire

011-2 Becoming a girl
And having a male Takatsuki-san...

011-3 Your desire drove you to write that story, right?

011-4 I wanted you to be Juliet, so I wrote it like this

012-1 Chiba-san, you're pretty cute, huh?

What!?

012-2 I thought you would make more trouble for Nitorin

012-3 So you *can* control yourself [make that word italics]

012-4 I'm impressed

You want me to smack you one?

012-5 Whoa. Scary.

013-2 That's your real desire

...yeah

013-3 Chiba-san nailed it on the head!

Shuu-kun, phone!

013-4 Yuki's place?
Of course I want to go

013-5 Let me have a bite of the strawberry

014-1 Have a bite of the cheese cream

Ah, thanks

014-4 Um!

014-5 Takatsuki-san

Do you want to play Romeo?

014-5 Ah...
This is about the play we're writing, ok?

Ah

015-1 I don't care what role I get

Sarashina-san might be good, huh?

015-2 I want you to play Romeo, Takatsuki-san...

015-3 And I want to play Juliet

015-4 I do

Hmm....

015-5 You're into it, huh...

015-6 If we're gonna do it, I'd like a detective story.
That'd be pretty cool

016-1 No, not that

016-3 I want

016-4 I
I want you to see me as a girl

016-5 I do

017-2 I
Think of you as a guy, so...

017-3 For me, this play is not just a play

017-5 You and me
Playing the leads...

018-2 That's my desire

018-3 You, as a guy

Me, as a girl

018-5 A story with a happy ending for everyone...

019-1 I'm sorry!

019-2 You've really thought about this, Nitori-kun

D...

Don't
Bow your head! Please!

Hey...

019-3 I just thought it was some play

019-4 Uh
Well

Sorry...

What are those two doing?
Yeah

019-5 Grab

020-1 Let's try it!

Absolutely!
We'll make it a success!

Y-yeah

021-1 Pardon us

Working over summer vacation? That's great!

sfx: glug glug

021-2 ...here's some barley tea

Somehow
We got fired up and all of us came...

021-3 Oh no, will this roll cake be enough?

That's okaaaay

021-4 We'll just cut it thin and share!

Ahahaha

021-5 Chiba-san, you mom is really nice

Yeah!

022-1 He likes you, that's why he came over

I couldn't care less if I was dead

No, really! You're very beautiful

Him

023-2 Sspshhhhhhh

023-3 Splish slash

023-4 Shhhh

023-5 Can I help?

024-1 ...don't bother. You're a guest

Huh?

024-2 There's nothing to wash

024-3 I'm scrubbing the sink!

024-4 I'm sorry she gets so angry

No problem

024-5 Scrub Scrub

024-5 Are you mad?

I'm not mad

024-6 ...do you think the two of them will get chosen?

025-1 Squeek

As Romeo and Juliet

025-2 ...ah
Who knows?

sfx: Sshhhhh

025-3 Up till now, they've voted for it

025-4 I'm going to put my name forward too

025-5 You?

026-1 You'd better vote for me

What? You threatening me?

026-2 But you'd be good as Romeo too

Ah, they seem to be getting along

Crap

026-4 Bye bye

027-2 I'm home

027-3 Whoa, that's rare
You've got some energy in your voice

Eh?
R-really?

027-5 ...what time do you need to get up?

028-1 To tell the truth, I'm relying on you

Come on already, get up by yourself!

028-2 It'd be great if when I open my eyes, we'd already be at grampa's house
Right?

028-3 I like riding trains

Hmph
Goodnight!

028-4 Goodnight

57-6 Chapter 38
Sensei Likes Mysteries

58-1 Wow
A School life love comedy, huh...?

Yeah

58-2 The drama club is going to do that?

The kids want to do it

58-3 But it's interesting to see them all give their opinions [combined first and second bubble]
They've never been this into it before

58-4 You see...

58-5 The boys part will be played by girls and vice versa.

58-6 Whoa, that's interesting!

Isn't it?

58-7 Maybe I'll steal that idea

58-8 I mean, last year they made a movie
A really short one

58-9 Whatever it's fame, the students got really excited
They seemed to really enjoy the process

59-1 I'll talk to my class about it

Me too

59-2 Um
It's a little early to be talking about this, but

What does everyone want to do for the culture festival?

59-6 Don't ask me...

Ah, I want to do a coffee shop!

Me too!

59-7 A haunted house!

Flea Market!

Ah, that could be cool [handwritten]

Movie! Let's make a movie!

Mmm

59-8 Ah, well
The reason I brought it up is...

59-9 How about a play?

59-10 Eh? Here?

No, in the gym

60-1 Isn't the drama club the only one who can use the gym?

That's it!

60-2 The only ones guaranteed to use the gym on that day
Are the drama club and choir

60-3 But I looked into it and last year
The Karaoke club or some other weird club reserved a spot!

60-4 Karaoke club member [handwritten]

Sensei, you're discriminating!

Ah,
Sorry!
I take it back!

Sorry!

60-5 I hate Karaoke, so it slipped out

And so

60-6 There's one spot left!

Ok, everyone! What do you want to do?

60-7 Um...
When you ask like that...

Yeah...

60-8 Question!

Yes, Kuroiwa-san?

60-9 Do you have something in mind?

But we're ones who'll end up having to do it...

Yeah

61-1 Well, everyone...

Have you heard of an inverted play...?

61-2 Ah
Sensei, you heard about the drama club, then!?

61-3 What? What?

Well, see, the drama club is going to...

61-4 Hmm

61-5 That'd be cool!
I wanna do it!

You do!?

My mom would totally be into that

61-6 Sarashina-san would be perfect for that!
She wore a boy's uniform to the opening ceremony after all

61-7 Come to think of it, Nitori and Takatsuki too...

Yeah...

Hehe

61-8 Hmmm....

61-9 They seem to be getting into it

61-10 Now that they're getting into it, I've cooled off

61-11 I mean, there's no way that I'm going to get what I want...

61-12 Ah

But

I want to do it...

61-13 A school mystery!

62-1 A mysterious mansion

A secret society

62-2 A beautiful girl who holds the key

The cunning master

62-3 And the appearance of the famous detective...!

62-4 I wanna do it

I wanna do it so bad I can't stand it

62-5 But that's a little too much to dump on junior high 1st years.

And it's my own desire

My own desire...

Hey! Hey!
Sensei's looking away!

62-6 Wow

That's kinda interesting

62-7 Right?

Yeah

62-8 What about you two? You want to play girls?

Um

We'll pass...

63-1 I think Chiba-san would look really good in a boy's role

63-2 Sasa-chan, you'd be cute as a guy

Eh?
If I dressed up as a guy, I'd look just like my brother!

63-3 Hey! What's up with her? Ignoring Chi-chan!

Don't say it so loud!

63-4 She's ignoring me too!

63-5 Let's just go home without her!

63-7 I really hate you

63-8 I don't like you either

63-9 I haven't since before we "made up". So let's go home seperately.
Goodbye.

Sasa-san!

64-2 How straight forward...

I like that kind of person!

64-3 Chi-can! Why do you alway have to like the weirdos!?

I like you, Momo

64-4 I'm not a weirdo!

I'm going home!

64-5 Sarashina-san, you're pretty different, huh?

Ehhh?

64-6 I like you, Takatsuki-san!

Hahaha....

64-9 Nitorin....

Nitori [sign]

65-2 Our ambition might finally come to pass!

Y-yeah!

Ambition?

65-3 I'm sure that Nitorin will get handed the part of a beautiful young girl...

65-4 But that's ok! I'll take bystander A or B!

sfx: clench

M-mako-chan

Hurts...

65-5 If it's a girl's role...

65-6 I wonder what the story will be

Yeah

65-7 12th. Daily class duty: Takatsuki. Nitori.

Nitori-kun, you should write it

65-8 You're good at writing
Why do you give it a try?

65-9 Heeey!
You ready?

Give me sec!

65-10 Sorry, I've finished recording today's duty, so go on.

It's ok! It's on my way

Duty Journal [book]

65-11 Ah

66-1 Let's get Yuki-san and Shi-chan to come too!

66-2 ...yeah

66-5 Sigh...

66-6 Huh? You waited for me?

Yeah, I did. I been waiting forever.

66-7 How was it? Being alone with Takatsuki-san?

Mako-chan, why do you always have to bring that up?

66-8 What I think is none of your business!

Don't say that...

66-9 Nitorin, you're head over heels, huh?

C'mon!

66-10 Nitori-kun, you should write it

66-11 You're good at writing

67-1 Wha?
An all-nighter?

67-2 And it's not even test time?

Stooopid!

I'm going!

67-3 Why don't you get some sleep and go in late?

You always spoil him like that!

67-4 Go to the nurse's office and get some sleep!

You're sister is really scary

67-5 I stayed up all night working on it, but...

I couldn't think of anything

67-6 Excuse me

He's about to collapse. Please let him sleep here.

67-7 Zzz

That's was fast...

67-8 Even though I worked all night...

I don't have any talent...

68-1 Nitori-kun

68-2 Blink

68-5 Sensei...

Ah, you're finally awake

68-6 Did you just call me?

I don't go waking people who come here to sleep

68-7 First of all, I don't know your name

68-8 ...ah

68-9 Yeah, those kind of really real dreams happen
Where the voice is super clear

68-10 I can still recall the feeling of being choked even now!

68-11 ...that was Chiba-san's voice

68-13 I was in your dream, Nitori-kun?

It must have been a dream after all...

68-14 I see...

68-15 It's funny

You were also in my dreams last night

69-1 I thought it was something I could write about

69-2 I thought even I could write about it

69-3 But showing it to sensei is a little embarassing

69-4 Recently, I've been growing again

Chapter 41- Revival

94-2 Takatsuki-kun!

94-3 She's awful

94-4 She got mad at me

94-6 It's your fault, Chi-chan!

94-7 Momo's mad at me too!

94-8 But the wrong person overheard!

94-9 The god of mischief said this in a gentle voice:

95-1 I will grant your desires

95-2 For those who desire it, and for those who don't. I will reversed the order of the world

Mothers become Fathers

95-4 Fathers become Mothers

95-5 A modern Romeo and Juliet
But where they don't die

95-6 Eh...
They don't die...?

95-7 Do they have to die?

No.
No, no.

96-1 Nitori-kun wrote this...?

96-2 Chiba-san wrote...

96-3 I guess an original story is better, after all

96-4 This is a story everyone knows, and this is really interesting too...

96-5 Excuse me

sfx; whump

96-7 Nitorin, yours was rejected?

96-8 Seems it was and it wasn't

96-10 I'm not trying to be polite, you know

96-11 I'm not either!

96-12 So Chiba-san submitted something too

97-1 Actually, I prepared myself to have mine rejected

97-2 I think sensei might be trying not to hurt either of our feelings...

97-3 You both won? What the hell?

97-4 But not a murder mystery...

97-5 Even after I said Romeo and Juliet wouldn't die

97-6 But when he said he'd combine our works, I was happy. I think it's interesting

97-7 You don't like it?

97-8 Asked like that, there's no way Nitorin would come out and say so...

97-9 That's a cowardly way to do it!

Stealing the best parts of your stories!

98-1 If he wanted to do a mystery so badly, then he should have said he'd write it from the beginning!

...I hate that guy!

98-3 Shuu-chan, phone!

98-4 It's Chiba-san

Eh

98-5 Hello...

Shuu-chan's popular!

Can you talk?

Yeah

98-6 I... was really mad today, right?

98-7 After I came home, I cooled down a bit

98-8 Ah
I still won't forgive sensei

98-9 But all we have to do is accept his condition, right?

98-10 If he wants a mystery that bad

98-11 Then let's give it to him

99-1 But how about in return, we cut him out, and just write it ourselves?

99-2 Shhhh

99-3 Let's rewrite it from the beginning
So both main characters survive

99-4 Today

99-5 It's raining really hard, but
Will you come to my house...?

99-6 I promise I won't do anything weird...

99-8 I knew it! You look cute!

99-9 Th...

Thanks...

99-10 Ok, let's start...

Ah, don't just sit there, stand up! Stand up!

100-1 No photos!
No photos, ok?

100-2 Awww

So, Romeo

100-3 He really wants to be a girl

and Juliet really wants to be a boy

100-4 How about that?

100-5 I'll take notes

Me too

100-6 Why am I Romeo?

100-7 Why am I Juliet...?

100-8 And so the two of them

Go on secret dates...

Eh?

100-9 It's just like Nitori-kun and Takatsuki-san...

100-10 They would be perfect for these roles

I want Nitori-kun to play Juliet

101-1 And then Romeo could be Takatsuki-san

101-2 That would work out

101-3 That would be the best

101-4 I've try to think that way but

101-5 I can't stand it!

101-6 If Nitori-kun is Juliet...

I want to be Romeo!

101-7 And if I don't get picked

sfx: whish

Chiba-san! Good morning!

101-8 Whoa! She'll get mad if I touch her!

Morning...

101-9 Chiba-san returned my greeting!

Oh come on! That's nothing to get so happy about!

101-10 For this, she would be ok

101-11 Anyone would...

102-1 As long as it's not Takatsuki-san!

Morning!

Good morning, Saorin!

102-2 Morning...

102-4 Did everyone get a copy?

Yeeees

Summer Vacation Schedule [flyer]

102-5 Please be sure to show it to your parents

Yeees

102-6 Ok! There's only one more day, so let's keep it up!
Stand.

sfx: clatter scuffle whuck

Cleaning Day [board]

102-7 Bow.

Good byyyye

102-8 Teacher's Room

102-11 So how have things been coming...?

Ah
We figure to finish up over summer vacation...

103-1 I really didn't think of your feelings at all, and forced you to do what I wanted. I'm really...

I'm not mad

103-2 Can I go home now?

103-3 Really. I'm not mad anymore.

103-4 It's not my play, but class three's play.
Sensei has a right to have an opinion

103-5 I'm really do understand that in my head, but

103-6 I guess I can't control my feelings

103-7 Nitori

So, that means you're really mad after all, right?

103-8 Why does he have to be here?

Ice cream

Yay

103-9 Whump

103-10 What?

104-1 Chiba-san, do you still love Nitorin?

104-2 It's none of your business!

104-3 I think Nitorin may still be in love with Takatsuki-san

104-4 You must think I don't know when to quit

Not really. Nitorin's the same, after all

104-5 Since you both were turned down, I wouldn't call it not knowing when to quit...

104-6 ...you really are mean!

104-7 But that's how it is, right? When you're feelings won't obey you?

104-8 Ah, that's so cool
Being in love...

What's good about it?

104-9 It's just not knowing when to give up
For both Nitori-kun and myself

104-11 Tea...?

104-12 Nitori-kun, as a guy, do you like the female Takatsuki-san?

To become a girl, and have Takatsuki-san to love you like that?

When you ask me out of the blue like that, I...

Sorry, Nitorin...

And there's been some...
Now...

Wait

84-4 Eh...?
She's got a boyfriend?

Yeah...

Why did she tell you and not me?

"If she's not serious, she should quit!" and stuff [handwritten]

She's blaming me?

84-6 If you're not serious
Why don't you quit?

84-7 Seeeee?
See? See? See?

Why did you tell her!?

Well, she's going to find out someday...

84-8 I don't mean to get distracted...

But...

I just don't know what to do...

84-9 In cases like that, you talk to a friend, right!?

85-1 In cases like this, you go to a friend, right?

pfft

85-2 It's not like I didn't want to tell you, Anna-chan

Shut up

Whatever
If you don't want to, then don't

85-3 Anna-chan's just ornery, see?

Ok?

You're just making it worse...

85-4 I really did want to tell you...

85-6 I didn't want to seem like I was bragging...

sfx: snap

85-7 So that's why you told Tamaki-chan...?

But, but...
Tamaki-chan had a boyfriend sooner that I did!

Ah, don't say that!

85-8 Ah, see, It's...

You just seem like you hate guys, Anna-chan, so we just...!

87-10 I'll take this

88-1 You already decided?

Yeah

88-2 Hey

Ok, now make three lines

89-2 Sarashina-san! You are not to wear a bikini!

Okaaaay

89-3 She's got nice style, though [handwritten]

Right? [handwritten]

You've got a nice body

Eh?

No fair! I mean, I'm... [handwritten]

89-4 T-that's not true...

You've got an hourglass figure
Chi-chan does too. Ah, that's cool. Like a grownup

89-5 Let's start the warm ups!

89-6 Wow, Sarashina-san stands out today too

Y-yeah

89-7 Haaah

But I'm nice and warm. Feels good

89-8 Who wants to go for juice on the way home?

Meee

89-9 Did Chiba-san go home first again?

So...

Sorry!

89-10 She just won't warm up to me

This is a pain

90-1 You got it good, Sasa-chan. No boobs.

Stop that!
You're staring at me, Takatsuki-kun

Eh? I can't do that

It's ok, it's ok

I'll start growing whiskers

91-9 And then I won't be able to wear girl's clothes anymore
Mako-chan says for us to do it while we can

91-10 I'm really jealous of you, Takatsuki-san...

91-11 Thump thump thump

91-12 Bam

92-1 Don't run it the house!

I know!

92-2 Uwah!

G-got it!

sfx: Bam

Quiet!

74-2 But...
We don't have to dress up just to record our voices...

74-3 This is for a great cause!

sfx: The main point

sfx: Bam

Is because we like to do it!

G-got it!

Sorry!

74-4 "Great cause"...?
What?

If we dress up, our feelings will become more heightened

74-5 You put up such a fuss even though you really like to do it, geez

84-6 You look better in drag than I do, so just shut up!

Ok...

Ok, let's get changed...

51-5 That's stupid! Picking a fight with an upperclassman

51-6 Your friend picked a fight earlier

She was just fighting back!

It's not the same!

51-7 Whatever. You have nothing to do with it.

51-8 Scaaary

Sasa-chan, please hurry up and come back!

51-9 I bet it's because people are saying you held some guy's hand

That's completely wrong!

51-10 You're so gullible

38-6 Ahhh, it's complex

38-7 Maybe I'm weird...

38-8 Mmmm

They say it takes all sorts
It's easy to say it, but...

38-9 Ok, Nitorin!

Let's make this our research topic!

38-10 Like a focus group?

What would we do?

38-11 Come to grips with our situation...

38-12 And think about cute clothing!

39-1 Back in 5th grade, Your class put on a play, right?

I was so jealous of that!

39-3 It would be cool that could happen again...

44-7 Ah, I saw that back when I was in 6th grade

44-8 That sounds interesting

It was pretty cool!

44-9 If we're going to do it, we should put on an original play

44-10 Make a bunch of part for the guys!

You clown! Make more parts for the girls! Girls!

Chapter 35
The Fresh Class Three

20-1 I'm sorry...

20-3 You're not a college student anymore! I need you to take more personal responsibility!
Because I was once a college RA, I'm being hard on you, but...

20-3 "Wake up call", what the hell?

20-4 I'm begging you
Tomorrow's the entrance ceremony!

I don't care

20-5 You're up early anyway!

...ask your parents to do it!

20-6 They give me shit about that stuff
You know that...

20-7 Tomorrow only...!

Ah! Ah!
Thank you!

20-8 Next day
Um, about tomorrow...

Slam

Beep beep beep

20-9 Be sure to be on time tomorrow!

Y...
Yes

This does not bode well...

20-10 No!

If I don't buck up, I'll be thought of as a spineless teacher!

20-11 Roar

I'm going to get up all by myself from tomorrow!

20-12 But I don't deal with this class very well...

21-1 I was late today too.

I'm sorry

21-2 Not a morning person?

21-3 Want me to wake you?

21-4 Looks like her...

21-5 The sexy girl in the next seat
I was scared of her

I was so scared of her, I almost couldn't think straight!

I thought if I spoke her, she would absolutely hurt me. I couldn't get over it.

21-6 We'll be deciding seats today

Ehhhh?

She so looks like her

21-7 We like it like this

Hey, don't say that. I spent some effort to make this.

21-8 Up late making that, sensei? Is that why you overslept?

Ahahaha

Hey

21-9 Ok, we'll have the girls pick first.

21-11 I got 5

Ah, we're apart!

No way! Lucky! I'm in the back!

Ugh, I'm in front of sensei

21-12 Ok, next

22-1 Mm...

She was basketball captain and also student president. Her reputation was known even in other schools. A real supergirl...

She looks like her...

What number?

22-4 The little kid from Akane's Market that I passed everyday...

It tickles

The cute girl with nice manners. She'd be in high school by now.

She looks like her...

22-5 The mysterious, but beautiful girl. Just as she looked, difficult to deal with. Drifted through the class.

She married her high school home room teacher and was shy about it

22-7 Sasa-chan...

Saorin...

22-8 Ah

22-11 Let's work together!

Yeah

Hurry up!

Crap! The seat next to Chi-chan was taken!

22-12 Please let me have a good seat

rustle rustle

23-1 Mmm

Really, really, really looks like my big sister when she was in junior high

They could be identical twins...

23-2 What is up with this...?

23-3 It's like I'm reliving my junior high school years with this class...

23-4 Sensei, um...

23-5 Yes?
What is it?

This paper is blank

Eri! Good byyyye!

Ahhhh!
Tsu-chan!

Hehehe
You're comin' with me, little lady!

23-6 Ah, sorry. My mistake.

23-7 After everyone's got their seat, there will be an empty one. It's that one.

Ok

23-9 It's Kimishima-san
No matter how I look at it, it's Kimishima-san

24-1 My first love...!

Geeez!
Saisho-kun
Why do you always say that stuff?

24-2 Um...
Well the group division went well too [Classes are divided into groups of six people. Each group elects a leader.]

24-3 So let me say again, I'll be with you for this next year. Let's all get along together!

24-4 Since you're new to junior high, there'll be things you have questions about
I'm new to this too, just like you

And so, I make my appeal as a fellow newbie

24-5 No! That's not right!

I want to make this a safe place for you to study
So let's work together to make that happen

24-6 There's less that two minutes to the bell
Doing ok, right...?

24-7 Sensei! Question!

Eh
Ah
What?

24-8 Sensei
Do you have a girlfriend?

Ugh

24-9 I...
I had one. Back in the day.

Ehhh

25-1 "Back in the day"...?
Did he really...?

Yeah, really...!

[Ignore the sfx right above heads]

giggle giggle [bottom of panel]

Shut up!

Don't ask me such dumb questions!

25-2 Click
Ding dong

Ok, this topic is over!

You're late, bell!

Stand.

Sensei is blushing!

Cute, huh?

25-3 Dong Ding

Bow.

25-4 Um, I'm Katakura

Ah... I'm
Yabe

Sarashina

I'm Takatsuki

25-5 I'm Nitori...

25-6 Having just two guys in the group is bad, huh?

Um
Yeah

Yeah!

How are we going to decide on group leader?

25-7 Since we don't know each other very well, why don't we just use janken or pull straws? [Janken = Jankenpo. Japanese for rock, paper, scissors]

25-8 She seems so mature, but...

26-1 Chi-chan's good at fighting!

26-2 She's
Really different...!

26-3 Ah, Takatsuki-san smiled!

26-4 Jan. Ken...

26-5 I think Sasashina san would be best suited for group leader...

sfx: Hoi

Aiko

26-6 But that was kinda surprising...

She refers to herself as "Chi-chan"

26-7 That's...
Cute!

sfx: aiko de

26-8 Ah...
Nitori-kun smiled

sfx: hoi

26-9 Eh!?
You got elected group leader?

26-10 You ok? You think you can do it?

I'm not sure...

26-11 Who got elected in your group?

A girl named Shirai-san.
Well, that's ok and all, but

27-1 You better not bad mouth Chi-chan!

27-2 S-Saorin didn't bad mouth her!

Right?

I just said she was different!

That's bad mouthing her!

27-3 You're the one with a bad personality!

27-5 Ah

27-6 You going to hit me!?

27-7 ...I'm not going to hit you

27-8 We got stuck in a scary group...

Yeah, you said it...

28-1 Special contribution [above panel]

Oka at Sunset

28-3 Ah! Hey!
sfx; stuff

Kyaaa
Kyaaa

Bark
Bark

28-4 Goro!

Woof
Woof

28-5 Fag...

28-6 Upset at the word "fag"

Sniff

Don't cry over everything! You're a man, right!

28-7 Upset at the word "man"

Sniff

Um um um

28-9 Here

28-10 Bikkuriman Chocolate [Bikkuriman means something like "Mr. Surprise"]

The seal is broken

28-11 Will he bite?

He won't

Crunch

28-12 Goro...

28-13 Thanks for the Bikkuriman chocolat!

It's not "lat", it's "late"! [Oka is chiding Nitori for using a girly french pronunciation]

Oka felt a small affinity for Nitori-kun who was eating the chocolate with the hand he petted the dog with

29-1 The person who wrote "Oka's Sunset", Ishide Den-san, helps me with work no matter if it's raining, storming, or if Den-san's caught a cold. Den-san just made a monthly debut with "Real World" now on sale. Den-san is a ball of guts and fresh ideas.

Den-san said "Please get the word out", so I'm putting it here.

006-1 Character Introduction (By Sasa-chan)

Nitori Shuuichi-kun
I'm often called noisy and they get mad at me a lot, but Nitori-kun is really well behaved. Ariga-kun calls him "Nitorin" though. Maybe I'll call him that too next time.

Ah, Ariga-kun is... (Sasa-chan, that comes later)
Come to think of it, "Nitorin" and "Saorin" sound similar, huh? Well, the feeling anyway.
Ah, Saorin is... (Sasa-chan, that comes later)

Bleh

Takatsuki Yoshino-san
Takatsuki-kun is my childhood friend! We've been together ever since we were small. Our house are really close, so our mom's are close friends.
Takatsuki-kun's mom is really nice, which is really different from my mom.

Chiba Saori
This is the Saorin I mentioned earlier!
Saorin has a lot of girls that don't like her very much.... It's kinda hard.
But Saorin is popular with the boys! So cool!

Ariga Makoto-kun
Ah, this is the Ariga-kun I mentioned earlier! He's everyone's friend, but he's really close to Nitori-kun.
Nitori-kun calls Makoto "Mako-chan"! That's so cute!

Sasa Kanako-san
When she breaks down and cries, she cries really wierd. Her brain gets "itchy" when she tries to think too much, but she's really really really energetic.
I'm introducing everyone this time!

006-2
[clockwise from top right]

Sarashina Chizuru-san
Shirai Momoko-san

Both of them are my classmates in junior high. Sarashina-san is as tall as Takatsuki-kun, and she's really cool. Shirai-san is always with Sarashina-san. Are they childhood friends like me and Takatsuki-san?

Suehiro Anna-san
Saito Tamaki-san

Anna-chan and Tamaki-chan are pro models! Nitori-kun's older sister is also a model, and the three of them are close friends. So cool!

Saisho Manabu-sensei
He's our homeroom teacher. Everyone, were you able to read the kanji for his name as "Saisho" at first?
I thought it read "Zeisho-sensei".
Eh? I wasn't making a pun! [An alternate reading for the kanji of Saisho-sensei's name is "first"]

Ok! Hourou Musuko Volume 5 starts now!
It's not [keep the 4 kanji containing the red X here] Hourou Musuko, but
[keep the 4 kanji containing the red circle here] Hourou Musuko! [Sasa-chan is making a pun. The first reading is "Prodigal Son". The second is "Transient Son."]
Thanks for reading!

Yuki-chan and Shi-chan
I've met them just once before. He's a good looking guy and she's a beautiful woman.
Even though they're adults, they are Nitori-kun and Takatsuki-kun's friends. Amazing, huh?

Seiya Riku-kun
He's become Nitori-kun's older sister's boyfriend! Will I ever get a boyfriend?

Nitori Maho-san
Nitori-kun's older sister. Nitori-kun's complained that she's picked on him before.
But being a big sister is hard!
Just recently, my younger brother did... (...Sasa-chan!)

No, I have to thank you for...

He's just a little loud mouth [In Japan, it's considered rude to compliment your own offspring. So you'll often see mothers putting down their kids in the name of politeness]

Well

Yeah!

You've got your hair down

Um

14-8 Aren't you going to wear...

14-9 I felt like a skirt today

14-10 If I feel like regular clothes tomorrow, maybe I'll wear those

15-8 She had such nice hair

Chi-chan's hair is much prettier!

15-11 I mean, the teacher's already late...

Saisho-sensei is late. Self Study [board]

S'okay

What's your name again?
Um...

17-12 Nitori Shuuichi

I'm Sarashina Chizuru
Sounds like a soba-ya, huh? [Soba-ya is a resterant that sells soba noodles]

18-1 My family actually does run a soba resteraunt
Just around that corner up there

18-2 If you don't mind, come try us sometime!

Later, Nitori-kun!

18-6 Ah, Her! Her!

18-7 That first year?

Yeah, I remember her face

18-10 Are you the one that wore a boy's uniform to the entrance ceremony? [Anything out of line by younger students often brings reprisals from upperclassmen.]

Ah
Yeah, that's right

18-11 Wham

Ah... Junior High Students

175-1 Hey, Didya know?
Over at West Junior High...

175-2 It's really rough over there

175-3 Nothing but delinquents...

"Delinquents"?

Dunno

You're lying!

175-4 My big brother goes there! That's not true!

Your brother just doesn't know

175-5 And it's sex there all the time~~~!

You're gonna get tripped and felt up!

175-6 You're an asshole!

176-1 Scary, if true...

No way

176-2 My class is saying that too. Well, some of them...

No way

176-5 Hello...

Hi...

176-8 Ah geez...

177-1 It would be nice if she was in a different class at least

Yeah...

177-2 Are we gonna graduate with everyone like this...?

177-3 Nitori

177-4 What!?
That's a stupid rumor

177-5 I would have never gone there if it was true

Yeah. That's right...

177-6 Worried?

...yeah

177-8 Ok, let's ask Seiya

178-1 Our school? Full of delinquents?

178-2 There's nothing like that...

You don't have to worry about it

178-4 You're too mean

178-6 There's that stuff with your brother, so why do you make me see him?

178-7 You're still worked up about it

179-1 That's not it!

Wah!

whack

179-2 Grab

179-3 Ah~~!
It's Seiya and Maho!

179-4 Woo woo

Hey, hey!
Must be nice! All that dating!

You like to watch or what?

179-6 I really love you Nitori

179-7 Always have, that is to say, from before

Yeah, that thing happened, but...

180-1 Shuu should have been a girl...

Then I would be able to give up

180-2 I don't know. Maybe I couldn't
I'm just a bad person

Nitori...

181-1 Let's go

Yeah

181-2 Can we hold hands?

181-3 Yeah

181-6 To Nitori-kun

181-7 It made me really happy when you told me you loved me

181-8 But I don't know what love is all about yet.

That's why I can't return your feelings.

182-1 I'm sorry.

You crying?

182-2 You're hiding something!

182-3 Gimme!

No...
No way...

182-5 Hey! Settle down you two!

183-1 Shuu... you hit me...

183-2 Dummy...

183-3 Sorry...

183-6 I really am a bad person...

183-7 It's sad that Shuu got turned down

But for a moment, I was relieved

183-8 What is going on?

Why...?

184-1 Eh...?

184-2 You still haven't thrown that letter away?

Yeah...

184-3 I just can't throw letters away

And that's not a normal letter, hm?

184-5 But man, your sister is a real bitch
She's got no sense of delicacy

184-6 You know where Sasa-chan is?

Eh? Bathroom, maybe?

184-7 Ah, I saw her when I got here. Nurse's office.

184-8 Is Chiba-san here...?

185-1 Nurse

18-52 Sasa-chan... you don't have to come here anymore

Eh?
Why? I can't?

185-3 But I'm taking up all your time

185-4 I'm sorry too. I'm friends with both of you

Don't worry about that!

186-1 Um, Takatsuki-kun

186-2 Chiba-san's here, right?

Yeah...

Don't worry about it. I'll go home with Mi-chan and the others

186-3 If I leave her alone, Saorin will really have nobody
So...

186-4 No, I'm sorry. I'm always...

Don't worry about it...

186-5 Bye bye

Bye bye

187-1 To Nitori-kun

187-3 I can't just keep re-reading this forever!
I've got to move on!

187-4 Clench

187-5 Riiip

187-6 G-goodbye...!

188-1 Do you think I can still keep her as a friend?

Eh?

Nitorin, you're still pretty attached

188-2 Ahhh Humm
Sure sure.
If everyone stays mad like this, we'll have nothing but regrets
So, why not?

188-3 It's about time for Chiba-san and Takatsuki-san to make up

188-4 Sasa [sign]

Sasa-chan

188-6 Ah, Yoshino-chan! Good morning!

Good morning!

189-3 Thanks for coming by, but...

189-7 Wha?

189-8 So, look

I don't know if it's my fault she's sick

189-9 But I've been nothing but trouble to her
and she was really down yesterday...

190-1 So, for Sasa-chan's sake, let's make up

You can have Sasa-chan

190-2 I don't want responsibility for her

190-3 Tell Sasa-chan that I'm fine being alone

So you don't want to make up at all...

190-4 Well!
Excuse me for trying!

190-5 slide
Slam

190-6 That's right...

191-1 That's not really making up...

165-4 How...?

165-5 Nitori-kun told you he loves you, right?

165-6 He told you that?

I made him tell me

166-1 It's all because I told him I loved him...

166-3 Ah...

166-4 I'm sorry...

You both apologize, huh?

166-5 You both say I'm sorry

167-1 Why... did I come here?
I don't want to see your face

167-2 I hate you

Really hate you...

167-3 It's not fair...

167-4 What do you want me to do...?

I don't know

167-5 I just came to hear words that'll hurt me

167-5 What the...? After saying you didn't know why you came here...?

Ah...

168-2 You've got no right to say anything to someone you hate, like me...

168-3 Bam

168-4 I haven't done anything wrong!

Don't shout!

168-5 Shut up!

Since he's a friend of my heart, I think that is something to celebrate

112-1 But since I can't celebrate it, I'm not really a friend of his heart

Maiko-chan would think I'm an idiot

She wouldn't think that

26-1 I'm...

So totally into Maiko-chan...

26-2 That's why...

Wah!

What?

26-3 Impure intentions...?

26-4 Why?

I don't think it's impure intentions at all

26-5 Right?

It makes me really happy...!

I've entered the world where people adore me too, after all

27-1 Yeah

What?

Whoa...

She's kinda cute...

27-2 Shit...

27-3 Anna might be pretty ok after all...

You two! Hurry up and get into the bath!

27-4 Right?

Y-yeah

27-5 Pervert

sfx: kacha

27-6 Mmm... should I refer to her as "Anna-chan" from now...?

I'm still scared of her...

28-1 Even though I just said she's ok

28-3 Why don't you tell it like it is?

28-4 Like it is, hm?

28-5 You give good advice, Tamaki-chan...

sfx: flump

Don't you go to sleep there!

28-6 Onee-chan, you idiot...

hmph

173-1 Chapter 25
Everyone's song

174-1 I'm going!

Ah Mako! Mako!

Bread and Cakes
Aliga Bakery [sign]

174-2 Eat this on the run, at least!

174-3 A parent who recommends eating on the go... [eating while walking is considered poor manners in Japan]

Chew chew

174-4 Maybe I should stop by Nitorin's place

175-2 Huh?

175-3 That's...

176-1 What're you doing?

Wha?

176-2 Did you come to see Nitorin?

...yeah

176-3 Then why don't you ring the bell?

177-1 G-good...

I'm sorry!

177-3 Well, it's nice you two made up

177-4 But an exchange diary isn't something you hand over in front of others

Right...

177-5 Sorry...
I tore you notebook...

178-1 Why not start again?

178-2 Ah, that's right

178-3 We could do it again

They're not gonna learn...

178-4 Mako-chan, you want to do it too?

Eh?

178-5 I don't do childish things like that!

178-6 But thanks for the invite

Yeah...

179-2 Takatsuki-san and Nitori-kun
Are friends again

That's great

179-3 I...

I... somehow...

Wah!

179-4 Saorin, you should make up too

But...

179-5 Takatsuki-kuuuuun!

Waugh

180-4 Things seem to be going ok

180-5 Or so I thought...

But life doesn't go smoothly

181-1 Beep beep beep

181-2 Can I take these pastries?

Sure

181-4 We have eclairs today

Wow

181-5 Are you in better spirits?

...yeah

181-6 Sounds scary. Suehiro Anna.

Yeah, I was scared...

182-1 But, hey
You should say what you think to people

182-2 Nitorin, if you don't, you'll end up saying stuff like "I won't wear girl's clothes anymore"

But, Anna-chan is...

182-3 We can't live our lives trying to please Suehiro Anna, right?

I can't stand that!

Ah, r-right...

182-4 Even if!

Even if...?

182-5 We are perverts like Suehiro Anna says...

182-6 What's wrong with that!?

Mako-chan...

182-7 You're cool...

C'mon, Nitorin!

You can't just be impressed with my words, you have to take them to heart!

183-1 sfx: knock knock

Makoto-sama
Makoto-sama

Mm? What is it?

183-2 Today's menu is a cheese omlette with vegetable salad, carrot soup, and asian pears in syrup. Does this meet with your satisfaction?

You like carrots?

Yeah

183-3 Ok, please proceed

Understood

183-4 Your mom's interesting

No way! Not at all!

183-5 I mean, like yesterday...

183-6 I've got you pinned!

Smack! Wham!

Waaa! Stop already, you nut!

She's really violent!

184-1 That kinda stuff really sets a bad example

Hmnn...

184-5 Nitorin...

185-1 She has been with me longest

185-2 She falls victim to my mom, so she's a little beat up, but I'll share her

185-3 Thanks...

186-2 Eeeh?
I wanna go!

186-3 Sasa-chan, you're too loud!

186-4 Why are you the only one to go?

186-4 I'm just going to deliver a word of warning to Suehiro Anna

186-5 ...I also have something I want to say to Suehiro Anna

187-1 I doubt if you could let it go with just one word
I think you'd soon lose your senses

187-2 I didn't come here to get insulted!

See? You get always get like that

187-3 Gulp...

187-4 So that's why it's me

Eeeeh?

If you consider Nitori-kun, I think it might be best if no one goes

187-5 If she thinks poorly about Nitori-kun, it might just make matters worse
And if were really that bad, he wouldn't go there, right...?

188-1 ...ah crap

188-2 It's a sound argument. I couldn't say anything back

188-3 I guess I wanted to peep in at that shining world

188-4 It's not like I'm not worried about you,
But I can't deny my curiosity was peaked

Sorry

189-1 Mako-chan

189-2 Let's go together

Nitorin...

189-3 Ah, it's ok

189-4 I think what Takatsuki-san said is correct

It seems like Suehiro Anna is really strict about work
It may be pouring oil on the fire

189-5 Nitorin, you don't have to go if you don't want to

190-1 Dinner

Ok

TV Guide [book]

190-2 Hey!

If you're not gonna eat that, gimme!

Stop that!

190-3 Ah
That's right...

Get me up at 5am tomorrow

Oh? That's rough

190-5 Onee-chan

191-1 Whaaat?

Um...

191-2 Onee-chan, do you really want to be a model?

Whaaat?

191-3 You sound just like mom!

191-4 Eh? No...

I just wanted to meet Maiko-chan...

191-6 Suehiro Anna...
She was pissed, huh?

Yeah...

192-1 I wonder if Maiko-chan would have gotten mad...

192-4 Yaaaawn

192-5 Morning

Shuu, what're you going to do? Quit?

Onee-chan, you going?

192-6 If I quit now, Anna will laugh at me!

193-1 Ok, I'll go too

Maaan

Don't blame me if they tease you

193-2 We're going!

193-3 Ah
It's Shuu-kun

Hey, Shuu-kun!

194-1 Don't treat my brother like a toy!

194-2 So you were mad after all

Hmph

194-3 What's with her?

Yeah

194-4 You're the one who dragged him here, right?

You really piss me off!

195-1 Bringing your brother to an audition, how stupid!

Wha...

I mean, everyone laughed about it later!

[now on left] You got no talent, just a grody shell

Really, wouldn't just her brother be fine?

See? We don't need you

You guys? Why?
All the sudden...

195-2 Ahaha
Dumb!

Kyahaha

I mean, seriously?

Yeah, seriously uncool

Anyway, you hungry?

Majority rules!

Yeah, I am!

195-4 Don't...
Don't pick on my sister!

196-2 Oh
Goodness

What's all the shouting?

196-5 Maiko... chan!?

[afterword has nothing to do with the story, so I'll pass]

199 Special bonus manga

199-1 Sasa-chan, one morning.

I never have to worry

Kanako! If you don't hurry, Yoshino-chan is going to come!

199-6 I've got to grow up too...

Just what do I want to wear?

Is my usually stuff ok?

Kanako!

199-7 Is this ok? Really?

Don't I have anything else?

199-8 Just what do I want to be?

What kind of person do I want to become?

Think, Kanako!

199-9 Ah, my brain's all itchy!

Geez, it's like this every single morning!

159-2 Maho-chan? Don't you have to prepare?

160-3 Isn't your photo session early tomorrow?

Yeah

159-4 It's not really a photo session

It's just getting everyone together
To tell the truth, we'll just be following around our sempai models and learning [sempai in this case, are the models who started with the company before Maho was accepted]

159-5 But that's important, right?

Gimme a break. Maiko-chan won't be there

160-2 Shuu, you better get ready too

I can go too?

Why did you let him in here?

163-4 Hey, aren't you ashamed, looking like that?

164-1 I'm still in shock...

Me too

I was a fan of Anna's, but...

I was super happy to see her in person, but

164-2 After talking like that, how can she smile like that now

sfx: Flash flash flash

Scary...

164-3 Hey, hey

164-4 Tell me your cell number

Ah, me too! Me too!

164-5 And you too, Maho!

165-1 We don't have cell phones

Wha? Serious?

We can talk!

165-2 But hey, don't you want to see Maiko-chan?

Yeah, I do, I do!

Yeah, she's a star!

You! Guys!

165-6 Are you here just as sightseers?

166-1 Are you stupid?

Didn't you come here to work?

166-4 Anna's so scary!

166-5 Idiot! Not so loud!

She's left already.
I saw it

Ah, what a downer

Me too

166-6 Don't you think it's cause you newbies said you wanna meet Aiko-chan?

You could say that

167-1 I think was was said is correct

167-2 But I don't want to make waves....

Man, she pisses me off!

Seriously!

Yeah, and then she...

167-3 Shuu, let's go home

167-5 Suehara Anna pisses me off
But I can't stand those other girls either

Y-yeah

167-6 I pray that Maiko-chan, at least, is an angel

168-3 Ahhh, I want a cell phone...

168-5 Wow!
Super cute!

Seriously just like a girl!

Hey, try this on next!

169-1 What am I gonna do?
If Anna-chan sees me like this

169-2 She's gonna get mad

But...
But...

169-3 Camera!
Camera!

169-4 You're not going to rescue him?

169-5 So tall!

169-6 He likes that kinda stuff

Hmm...

136-2 Wow... you really pay attention

136-3 That's right. My mom can't look at me.
Know why?

136-5 Because I wanted be a girl.
Wanted it so bad.

That's why

113-1 It's close by

So it might be...

113-2 How romantic!

Well, her suggestion...?

Ah,
...ok

113-4 Whoa
It's like an illusion

Sorry, I have to run to the restroom

114-1 He's so cool. Really...
Looks like he's my type

114-2 Nitorin, what do you think of him?

114-3 What do I...? I dunno, I don't know him

He's the same, you know

114-4 He doesn't know you, but he likes you

114-5 Must be love at first sight, hm?

114-6 Mako-chan, you're amazing...

My mom does nothing but fall in love at first sight, see?

115-1 What do I think of him?

115-2 He's

115-3 A little cool...

115-4 sfx; doki doki

but...

118-1 Younger brother...?

118-4 Who is?

118-5 Whose?

118-6 Nitori's...

118-7 Who is?

You said that!

119-1 Ah, come on!
This pisses me off!

He's a guy! A guy!

119-3 That's a lie!

It's not!

119-4 It's a lie!

You're stubborn, huh?

119-5 You're the stubborn one!

Ah, um

119-6 You don't have to say anything

I'm really...

Very sorry...

119-7 Well, it's a complicated situation!

So, sorry!

Why are you yelling at me?

120-2 See... I'm a guy too

120-4 Please...

Please fall in love with my sister...

121-1 I can't believe you did that!

121-2 You said that to Seiya!?

Yeah

You
Ah
You meddler!

121-3 Aaah
That's why I hate children!

Even though you're not unhappy with the way things turned out

121-4 You're a coward after all
Covering up your own feelings and forcing your younger brother on him

121-5 I didn't mean it like that!

Ah
Ah
Um
Um
Um

122-1 I'm not a coward!

Ah, you're getting aggressive

122-2 You!
You were so happy dressed up as a girl! You're just a...

Ah

122-3 Just a what?

No
Sorry

Somehow...
Sorry...

122-4 You just tried to leave a wound on my heart that would not heal in my lifetime
I should never forgive you for that

But you stopped yourself from saying it in time, so I'll over look it

123-1 Goodbye...

Mako-chan

123-2 I'm sorry, Nitorin

123-3 I said terrible things today

123-4 I called you awful...

No, I'm sorry...
My sister...

123-5 Um...

123-6 I thought he was cool

124-1 If he starts to like your sister, what comes after would be romantic, huh?

R-really?

124-4 Hey, look!

Nudge

124-5 Those two have got to be lovers

124-6 See? They're holding hands.

124-7 I wonder if we'll ever get a lover and go on dates like that

124-8 I wonder if it'll happen

124-9 With who?

And how would it be like...?

63-2 Yo-chan
Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?

63-3 You came home early yesterday
And you were always sick when you were little, so...

63-4 I'm saying this because I worry that something might happen to you

67-1 Tell her that if it becomes too hard, to come back

67-2 "Both sides of this argument are at fault"? What is that!?

67-3 This wasn't some sort of argument!
If this isn't one sided harassment, what do you call it!?

67-4 Nitori-kun and Takatsuki-san are blameless!
Cut your stomach in apology!

Chiba-san...!

Now now now

67-5 Here I thought you were finally returning to class, but...

68-2 Perfect.

68-3 The reason I stopped coming to class

The reason I started going to the nurse's office after I was seated next to Doi-kun

68-6 I didn't see any reason to say anything, so...

69-1 Chiba-san!

Don't!

69-2 Don't say that...
You shouldn't...

69-4 What?
Go ahead!

69-5 You're creepin' me out! Go ahead and say it!

In front of everyone!

72-1 I ended up crying, Takatsuki-san

After promising myself that I wouldn't, I ended up crying

72-3 Yo-chan, you haven't eaten anything all morning
Do you want some omusubi? [rice balls]

72-4 ...this isn't any good
I can't do this forever
I have to pull it together

72-5 Um, Yo-chan
I'm at fault too

73-1 Yo-chan, I really understand you hate it now, so...

73-2 I'm goin' to school

Yo-chan...

Nitori Maho
Grr [behind her head]
Nitori-kun's older sister. Junior High 1st year. Pretty miserable over the fact that Seiya, who she is interested in, likes Shuu. Even went to the extent of setting up a date between them. Poor girl. A huge fan of the Idol Maiko-chan.

I wonder which, hm?

179-8 "Gay-boy"

180-4 Did she just say "gay"?

Did she?

180-5 Mean.
She's so mean.

She called Nitori "gay"

181-1 Carrot top [I believe this is a quote from Anne of Green Gables]

182-1 When someone teases your red hair

First thing you do is break your slate over his head

Never forget that you will get scolded by sensei big time

183-1 You bitch, what...?

You apologize to the people who made the meal!

184-2 I'll apologize to those who made the meal

184-3 But I'll never apologize to one such as you!

Just...

Just a second!
What happened?

185-1 Both of you, cheer up

185-2 Because of me...
I'm sorry

It was my own fault

185-3 I blew it again

Saorin, you were protecting Nitori-kun, right?

185-4 Yeah
It was that guy's fault

See?

185-5 It's because

185-6 Nitori-kun is my fukushin no tomo [A term meaning trusted friend, confidant - another quote from Anne of green gables. We need to find the correct English quote]

186-1 That's "Anne of Green Gables"

What's fukushin no tomo?

186-2 A friend of one's heart

Jaian says that! [a character from Doraemon]

186-3 "Oooooh!
Friend of my heart!"

He says

186-4 Right?

Yeah

186-5 Takatsuki-kun, has you ever read Anne of Green Gables?

Nope

Me neither

186-7 This way to the Nikko Toshouguu [Temple on Nikko grounds]

187-1 I really learned a lot yesterday

187-2 There! The three monkeys! [This temple is the origin of the three "See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil" monkeys]

187-3 Did you know that there are more than the three carved there?

16, right?

187-4 How did you know that!?

Hahaha

It was in the guide book
Had his whole life charted out

187-6 A guide! Tour guide!

You can see over there, right?

187-7 A group of grade schoolers!

188-2 Shuu-kun and Yoshino-chan! Found you!

189-1 Eh...

189-2 Eeeeh

189-3 Man, I really searched for you

189-4 Yuki-san

Just what are they being taught here!?

For real?

189-5 Um

189-6 She's a friend

Yuki-san and Shi-chan

190-1 A beautiful teacher!

190-5 I totally like people like you

191-1 Be a good teacher to these two, ok?

Y-yes

191-2 Ok, let me refresh my makeup and let's head off again, Shi-chan

You are really something

191-3 Bye bye

191-5 Your friends?

Yes

191-6 I see

192-1 How do I look?

Great, so hurry and let's go

192-2 Youmei Gate, hm?

You should like something this garish, right?

Oh, you!

I feel like the Dibea Museum

192-3 You don't want to eat gyoza at the Gate before we go? [pot stickers]

I'll have some

192-4 I can't believe that...

192-5 My heart's still racing a bit

Me too

193-2 Say cheese

193-3 click

193-7 If it weren't for the guy next to me...

What are you lookin' at?

193-8 I'm not

You just looked!

194-2 Don't you get depressed or timid!

194-3 Yeah, Yuki-san

194-4 I won't cry anymore!

194-5 I told you, don't look at me!

Well

194-6 I hate people like you!

195-3 Shuu! Where's my present

Eh?

195-4 Sorry...

I forgot

You're awful!

195-5 Tea's ready!

196-1 Shuu brought those home

Dont' think you're getting off with these manju [sweet bean paste bun]

Hmm

196-3 I'm turning off the light

Ok

196-4 When I thought about his nasty face

196-5 I cried a little again

196-6 But, I'm not crying anymore

Sorry, sorry

Did you forget anything?

Morning!

152-2 Have fun!

Thanks!

153-1 Are you ok, everyone?

153-2 You must be surprised by all the curves, right?

153-3 Since there are 48 curves it's been called the I-Ro-Ha road. [I-Ro-Ha is a alternative ordering of the 48 kana "letters". It would be similar to calling it the ABC road because it had 26 curves]

153-4 Whoa wo wo

154-2 Gyaaa

Whump

154-3 You just touch my breast!

Sorry sorry

154-4 You guys do that on purpose!

It's not our fault!

It's the curves' fault!

Yeah
Yeah

154-5 Sensei, do something!

Ah, geez

154-6 Ok ok ok

Boys, do not take advantage of the situation to touch the girls!

157-3 Booring

157-4 You play video games?

161-1 Considered to be one of Japan's top three waterfalls. It falls straight down a rock face for 97 meters [about 320 feet]

[Ignore text on left, it's just the waterfall name again]

161-2 Ok, then
Next we'll get on an elevator that will take us to the top

161-4 What will I do if I take a picture of a ghost? [Nikko is host to many tombs]

163-3 The sulfur smells makes my head spin a bit

163-4 Let's go eat!

Yeah!

163-5 We eat while being taught dinner manners

It was hard, but the food was good...

164-1 You like onions?

164-2 Gulp

171-4 Well, one more

Thank'ya

171-5 Maybe Shuu-kun and Takatsuki are staying here

Hey now
Just how much do you think this place cost, huh?

172-1 The temple erected to enshrine Tokugawa Ieyasu was very simple in construction at first

The third generation Shogun, Iemitsu, had it rebuilt into it's current form

172-3 Now, now
Nitori-kun

It's after lights-out time
What are you doing here?

140-5 Shhhhh

141-1 But nothing changed

Everyone, over here!

141-2 Shi-chan didn't tell anyone, see?

141-3 And that would make anyone's heart race, wouldn't it?

142-1 But it's not like we got friendly because of that or anything

Yeah

142-2 She never had any friends. None.

142-3 People like the two of you are rare

It came!
A response came!

121-3 Ah, the audition

"You've passed the photo screening"!

121-4 That's great!

I passed the screening!

122-1 It's my fault

129-2 B-but... I really can't...

129-4 You take stuff from Takatsuki-san

130-2 Sa-chan, you're being a little extreme

130-3 Mama

130-4 If you try to force all this on Nitori-kun at once, he's going to be hesitant, right?

130-5 That's what I think anyway

Just give him this to start

131-2 Eh?

Nitori-kun, you're going to wear this?

131-3 Aw, that's cute

132-1 I ended up cracking a smile

132-2 Because of that

I decide to write about this in the diary https://mangahelpers.com/t/boke/releases/10307 [English] [Translation] Hourou Musuko 13 by boke 2009-03-12T22:54:19+00:00 boke admin@mangahelpers.com [boke's comments in brackets like this]

111-4 Just write when you remember

111-5 We've never played just the two of us, huh?

111-6 Yeah

112-1 Nitori

112-3 If we invite Sasa-chan, we can't just keep Chiba-san out,

Yeah

112-4 I guess it's ok since Chiba-san knows about us...

112-5 Sasa-chan's nice

Yeah

113-1 She's nice, but how are we going to break it to her?

...yeah

113-3 Just what are you doing?

113-4 They're stressing over who to do a exchange diary with

Oh my

113-5 Must be nice to be a grade school kid

And just how are junior high kids?

114-1 I've know Sasa-chan since pre-school

I guess to have her know everything is kind of self-indulgent

114-4 Self-indulgent...

115-1 I'm not very good with words

115-2 I get embarrassed

So that's why I write things in this notebook

115-3 Oh...
That's how it is

115-4 Hey, don't cry!

115-5 I'm not crying!

You look like you're gonna cry

Ha

116-1 I won't cry!

You'll become stupid if you cry

I won't!

116-2 knock knock

116-3 Ta-dah!

A big cake for Maho!

116-4 You forgot my birthday, you brat!

116-5 To Takatsuki-san:

I'll write
