Free Talk: Blog Stuff

It seems that I’m summarizing a lot of series that it is really taking up too much of my time and I’m also slightly burning out. ^^; I regretfully have to drop some series. I chose the series that I’ve lost interest in summarizing and based on their last summary, they have zero comments. They are: Hachimitsu ni Hatsukoi, and Suki-tte Ii na yo.

So, to those who are reading these series, I’m sorry and thank you for reading the summaries until now ^-^

Hachimitsu ni Hatsukoi [Chapters 35-36]

And, it is finally, the cultural festival’s night before festival. [<- Technically, it is day and I think it is the prelude to the cultural festival wherein outsiders cannot go in the school yet] Koharu finds the soccer club’s stage drama interesting. Konoha says that she didn’t imagine that Natsuki would be the lead character. Natsuki arrives and complains that it isn’t interesting at all. Koharu and the others laugh over Natsuki who is dressed up as Cinderella. Grabbing hold of Koharu, embarrassed Natsuki says that she isn’t allowed to laugh. Koharu laughs anyway and says that it really suits him. Then, he shouts at Konoha not to take a photograph and regarding this, he is going to strip it.. Natsuki is shock when prince Naohiro grabs his hand and says that it turns out that the princess is here. While Koharu greets Naohiro, Konoha takes a picture of Naohiro and Natsuki. Konoha says that he looks very handsome. Showing a v-sign, Naohiro thanks her. Trying to free himself from Naohiro’s hold, Natsuki shouts for him to let him go, it’s gross and he is going to change his clothes immediately. Naohiro says no, for his reaction is quite good and as senpai, he orders him to perform on stage. Patting Natsuki, Koharu wishes him good luck[/gambatte] and he’s so cute. He slightly corners her to the post and asks if it is quite cute, and doesn’t her heart beat [/feel moved] towards him even when he is like this. This made Koharu blush and scream. Natsuki sticks out tongue and says he wins. Soon, Naohiro and Natsuki walk together and invite the people to watch the play at 14:00. This made Koharu mutter that it isn’t quite interesting. Koharu tells her to let it go since she is moved by Natsuki. She giggles and says that they are the world’s number 1 stupid lovers. Blushing Koharu thinks that no matter how Natsuki is dressed up, her heart would beat. Waving at her, Natsuki calls out to Koharu that they stroll around tomorrow. This made Koharu think this is so-called love[/like because her heart would beat fast]. At the stage, Aki looks away and says, “I..I like you..” to Nishina. Then, Koharu plays on the music from the CD player and Konoha is clapping. They are having a dress rehearsal. Looking at the list of songs, Konoha says that the idea of playing the couple’s memorably song is quite good. Aki says that it is Koharu’s idea. Nishina asks if the CDs are prepared. Aki says yes, Touya went to get it. The others become tense when Konoha comments that she finds Aki’s confession quite realistic, could it be that Aki..can become an actress and she’s tall, beautiful and slim. Aki thanks her for the compliment. Koharu thinks that Konoha is so sharp that it’s quite frightening but then, sorry for keeping it a secret from her.

Hachimitsu ni Hatsukoi [Chapter 34]

Teary-eyed Koharu apologizes and assures Natsuki that it isn’t because she’s afraid. Recalling how she shouted no and pushed him away, Koharu thinks that she must have startled Natsuki as a boy, and he has a hurt expression. The next day, Natsuki informs Koharu that he has morning practice so he’ll go to school ahead of time. In school, everyone is getting ready for the cultural festival. While painting the signboard for the ‘confession stage’, Koharu’s friends notice that she looks depressed and asks if she isn’t feeling okay, does she want them to help her paint that side. Snapping out of it, Koharu assures them she is fine. She couldn’t tell the others that Natsuki had become a wolf for it is humiliating. Konoha tells Koharu to rest at that side for she is drawing that panda way too scary-looking. While Konoha suggests that Aki draws it since it is for their committee. Then, Koharu overhears Natsuki being called by his friends. The guys are painting the signboard for their class’ haunted theme activity. Koharu mentally apologizes to him for hurting him. She wanted to go straight to him to tell him that but.. Natsuki looks at her and Koharu immediately looks away. This made Natsuki look sad. Koharu looks at him again but he’s leaving. Koharu is flustered for she unconsciously looked away, and she wanted to go to him but couldn’t do it. While some fangirls are bugging Touya as to whom he’ll stroll around with during the festival, he glances at depressed Koharu. By the bulletin board, Kotarou sees the confession stage flyer and wonders out loud about confessing to Sumire. Holding his cellphone, Masamoto muses that the activity that the school’s first idiot lovers are going to host ought to be lucky so he would record tomorrow’s public confession. Natsuki mutters that it must be hard for the other party to have a childish boyfriend like him. Masamoto lightly hits his head and says that they know each other for 16 years, what he is thinking about now when idiots would only think during exams. A student calls Natsuki to help out in the gym. After Natsuki left, Masamoto watches him. Sumire passes by so Kotarou asks her if she’s free during the night festival. She tells him that she has an activity so she couldn’t participate in that. After she left, Kotarou is sad over this. Putting his arm around Kotarou’s shoulder, Masamoto says that it seems that something is going to happen on the cultural festival. At the gym’s stage, Natsuki sees Touya putting paper roses on a sign board. Climing up the stage, Natsuki asks if he is also called and laughs about the activity committee being too pressed by others. To Natsuki’s irritation, Touya snubs him. Natsuki casually mentions that it’s great that his cold is well now. Touya says that it is because Koharu took care of him. He mentions that the congee is delicious, and she’s quite a good kid to sincerely worry about him. Natsuki angrily tells him not to casually let someone’s girl to go in his house. Touya answers back that he really doesn’t know why Koharu chose him for if it is him, he definitely won’t make her have a pained expression.

Hachimitsu ni Hatsukoi [Chapter 33]

While looking for Natsuki, Koharu thinks that it is because when she was born, Natsuki is always at her side that it is like she is destined to be Natsuki’s. Koharu finds Natsuki playing basketball with his friends. Then, Koharu watches Natsuki devours the bento she brought for him. He happily exclaims that he’s full. Koharu offers him some tea and he thanks her. Seeing her happily staring at him, Natsuki asks what it is, is there sauce on his face. Koharu says no, she is thinking that she really whole-heartedly only thinks of him. She tells him that Sumire told her that she totally don’t pay attention to other guys is because Natsuki is always at her side. “But basically, there is no other guy better than Natsu-chan. *Natsuki blushes and calls her name* Ah..but, Natsu-chan would compare me with some other girl.” Putting his hand together, Natsuki apologizes to Koharu-sama. Koharu happily says that it is already okay and she also apologizes for getting angry at him over a nonsense matter. Natsuki is moved by her frankness. Just when Koharu tells him that they should go back to class, Natsuki suddenly holds her up and leans to kiss her. Flustered Koharu tries to tell him that they’re in school but he kisses her anyway. The school bell rings. And Natsuki realizes that Akagi is watching them. Natsuki exclaims in surprise. Akagi tells them it is okay, she is just a manager who is passing by. She teases them for really going lovey-dovey that they even let her see it. Natsuki asks since when she is there. Koharu is extremely embarrassed that they were seen kissing that she tearfully runs away. Natsuki sweatdrops over Akagi’s comment that to be seen kissing is quite cute. She tells him that she’ll see him after school since compared to the committee meeting, club activity today is a priority. Natsuki says okay. Natsuki recalls the kiss and mutters that it isn’t reassuring for the kiss is no longer enough. Resting by a post, Koharu thinks that lately, Natsuki would occasionally be very forceful[/unyielding] and since he became her boyfriend, he has become more like a boy. She blushes and wonders if this keeps up, what would it become into.

Hachimitsu ni Hatsukoi [Chapter 32]

It is morning and Koharu is feeding Copan. Natsuki says that he heard that she went to Touya’s house yesterday and she should lessen the times when she’s all alone with guys. Holding a bento box, Koharu brightly tells him that here’s his bento and good luck with club activity. She shoves the bento on his stomach and shouts, together with that big-chest manager. As Koharu leaves, Natsuki thinks that she is still angry. Koharu is furious as to why, as a girlfriend, she would get so angry over nonsense things. At the shoe lockers area, Konoha says that of course. “Comparing one’s girlfriend with some other girl, [he] can just go to hell.” Koharu nervously says that it isn’t up to that extent. Slamming the shoe locker door, Konoha exclaims that Natsuki is unforgiveable for unexpectedly comparing his girlfriend with a big-chest manager. Koharu tries to defend Natsuki by saying that it isn’t really Natsuki but what if the other club members say it. Konoha angrily says that it is the same. Koharu says is that so. Konoha tells her that a so-called girlfriend is a special existence because it is an existence wherein no other person can be compared to. Koharu looks surprised. Sumire says that Koharu is always like that, it is because compared to Natsuki, there is no more important guy at her side, and she probably never compared him with the other guys around. She tells Koharu that it is definitely because there is no other guy who would think of[/treat] her like Natsuki does. Meanwhile, Touya is in bed. He sits up and remembers Koharu happily calling out to him with a tray of food. Then, he is surprised when someone calls out, “Tsudzuki-kun! Good morning, Tsudzuki-kun.” Putting on his glasses, Touya sweatdrops for it is his parrot who said that. It kept on greeting him a good morning. Touya mutters that girl taught the bird some words on her own. He imagines Koharu kept on talking with the parrot to learn to greet him a good morning. He imagines her greeting him a good morning. And, he blushes and mutters that she is the one who made him fall in love. Soon, it is lunch time. Her friends comment over how luxurious[yummy] Koharu’s bento looks and it is even in two layers. Sumire comments that she must have given a share to Natsuki. Koharu thinks that in the end, that bento is quite pitiful. During lunch, some guys notice Natsuki and friends getting ready to eat. They grab Natsuki’s bento to see what Koharu made for him and it is plain rice with a pickled plum[/hinomaru bento]. They feel sorry for him that one of them even gave Natsuki his already drunk juice.

Hachimitsu ni Hatsukoi [Chapter 31]

Koharu wonders if Touya is alright and she’s really worried about him because he is absent due to a cold. Touya is surprised upon seeing smiling Koharu at the door. He asks why she is here. Koharu is relieved since Touya looks fine compared to what she imagined. Holding up a paper, Koharu happily says that it is Shiina express delivery to give him this data sheet-♪ Touya immediately slams the door at her. This surprises her. She calls out to him and asks why he closed the door, the data sheet. Blushing, Touya mutters why, when obviously, it isn’t easy and there’s no need to see her face.. Then, Touya starts coughing. He becomes dizzy. Outside, Koharu is surprised to hear a ‘thud’ sound and wonders what that is. Koharu opens the door and asks that just now, that is.. She is surprised to see Touya sitting on the floor and holding his head. Later on, Koharu checks his temperature and it is 38.3C Koharu says that he totally has a cold/flu. Touya says that is why he’s absent and by the way, don’t just casually come in, quickly leav.. He is surprised when Koharu angrily looks at him. She asks him if he went to the hospital[for check up]. He says no. She asks how about medicine. He says that he didn’t drink any. She asks if he has eaten. He says no. As Touya continues to cough, Koharu is angry. She suddenly pushes surprised Touya into the bed and shouts for him to sleep. Then, she goes out of the house. After a while, Touya mutters that it is great, she finally left. Recalling how she just pushed him down earlier, blushing Touya mutters that if she comes near him now, he doesn’t know what he might do while he is feverish. Later on, Koharu comes back with some groceries. Quietly walking in, she thinks that she might be giving Touya trouble but she cannot just leave him be.

Hachimitsu ni Hatsukoi [Chapter 30]

While Touya is blushing after the three seconds direct look to know if you like the other person, Koharu calls out his name. Touya immediately looks away and leaves. Koharu thinks that Touya seems to be blushing so he must have realized that he likes that girl in his dream. She is glad if it is like that for if he were also able to be aware of love, he’ll definitely experience the beauty of love. Behind a wall, flustered Touya is cursing for even if he perceived this kind of feeling, he is also powerless. At home, Koharu has just finished baking a honey lemon cake. She tells the twins to wash their hands first. Then, she notices that Natsuki is already eating it. She tells him not to secretly eat it. Natsuki gives her an alibi that he’s hungry after club activity. Koharu suggests that she bring this cake over to the soccer club as a gift. Natsuki refuses. Koharu asks why. Lying on the sofa, Natsuki says that it is before the competition so everyone is on tight nerves. Natsuki recalls how his co-members in the club teased him about Koharu. He mutters that he cannot accept for Koharu to be looked obscenely like that. Then, his eyes widen upon seeing Koharu’s cleavage. He sits up and Koharu apologizes for startling him when she is trying to put a blanket on him. Recalling how they ask her if he had H[/sex] with her, Natsuki stands up and says that he’s a bit tired so he’ll go to sleep first. As Koharu bids him good night, she thinks that he looks tired. She decides to still give the cake as long as she isn’t a hindrance. At the soccer clubroom, Koharu is surprised over how messy it is. Natsuki and the others aren’t around. Koharu starts to unconsciously tidy things up. Someone calls out who is there. It is Akagi who says that it is a cute girl, is she a first year student. Koharu apologizes for coming in without permission. Koharu stares at Akagi’s chest and is amazed over how big it is. Akagi asks if she is the one who tidied things up. Koharu starts apologizing for it again but Akagi holds her hands and welcomes her as an angel

Hachimitsu ni Hatsukoi [Chapter 29]

Cover page: “How come one would feel quite happy within the embrace of the person one likes the most.” Koharu is at the peak of happiness since her friends and family wishes her well regarding her romance with her childhood friend, Natsuki. “Even if that is quite good..huh? Why am I being embraced by Tsudzuki-kun?” Koharu is surprised that her heart is beating quite fast. She holds on his shirt and calls out Touya’s name. Touya snaps out of it and pushes Koharu away. Looking away, Touya apologizes and says that he simply had a dream. Touya looks surprised when Koharu asks what kind of dream. Suddenly, Natsuki arrives and apologizes for being late for his manager won’t let go off him. Koharu tells him ‘good job’. Natsuki says that he just bumped into Aki and Nishina so they will be here soon. Koharu hears the flipping of pages. She glances at Touya who is quietly reading his book. She thinks that she lost the opportunity to [further] ask what kind of dream it was. While handling out forms, Nishina tells them that their committee is going to plan together with the student council to make the cultural festival livelier. Aki is the one assigned to be the one who’ll communicate with the student council. As he is telling the others about the schedule, Koharu glances at Touya and wonders what kind of dream it was for him to be still drowsy and suddenly do that kind of thing. With sparkles in her eyes, she assumes that Touya is dreaming about the person he likes – some beautiful woman to whom he said, ‘I like you’. But then, he said that love is boring to death though he also helped cheer her up before so this person’s way of thinking is quite strange. After the meeting ends and everyone leaves, Nishina tells them to report to him next week regarding their opinions. While walking, Natsuki apologizes to Koharu that he must go back to the club. Koharu holds his sleeve and recalls Touya’s hug. She asks Natsuki to hug her tight. This made Natsuki blush that it embarrasses Koharu. She turns to the side and apologizes for in the end, it is still.. Natsuki hugs her and says that she asked such a cute request so don’t run away. Koharu blushes and says okay. Koharu compares what it is like to be hugged by someone one likes – forceful yet gentle as if saying that he’ll protect her and she’s at ease. She likes Natsuki’s hug for it is quite warm.

Hachimitsu ni Hatsukoi [Chapter 28]

[Free Talk: I won’t be writing ‘short summaries’ anymore. That means, instead of multiple summaries per post, it will be just a series per post. =P Hehe, regardless of how short it might be. ^^; That is to enable me to keep track how many hits there are for each series and know specifically, the ‘reactions’ of a particular series. ^^]

Koharu introduces her family who had learned that she has a boyfriend. [And, it turns out that the youngest one is a sister. ^^;] At home, Koharu’s mother is excited to know what kind of person is Koharu’s boyfriend and when did this happen. Koharu’s father is sulking. Just when Koharu is about to say who it is, her mother says that she knows that it isn’t Natsuki because didn’t he already have a girlfriend during the sports festival. They recall that their parents were there when Natsuki confessed to Aki. Her mother laments that she couldn’t imagine that Natsuki choose some other girl. Just when Koharu tries to resolve the misunderstanding, Natsuki stands up and apologizes for he did confess during the sports festival but he realized that it wasn’t love for now, he likes Koharu. He exclaims that he absolutely won’t be mistaken over this feeling again so please let him go steady with Koharu and please allow him to use his life in protecting her throughout her life. Surprised Koharu thinks that for him be sincere like that, it is like he is making a marriage proposal. She is quite happy and moved about it. Koharu starts apologizing to her parents for hiding it and she sincerely.. To her surprise, her parents are already rejoicing. They start slapping Natsuki’s back for he did a good job in getting Koharu. Then, her mother says that they should quickly get married. At a church, Koharu is all dressed up in a wedding gown. It turns out that they are going to take a family group picture. Her mother teases her if she thought it is a real wedding. After Natsuki comes out, Koharu comments that he looks handsome. Just when Natsuki is about to praise her for being cute, Koharu’s mother says that it is time for the picture. As they take their picture together, Koharu wonders why she felt embarrassed exposing this to her family when obviously, her beloved family is smiling happily.

Short Summaries: Hachimitsu ni Hatsukoi 27, Hirunaka No Ryuusei 46 and Waltz no Ojikan 6

Hachimitsu ni Hatsukoi 27: Aki and Nishina wrote on a heart-shaped ema [small wooden plaques for prayers and wishes] that they’ll meet here again after graduation. Then, they hang it along with the other heart shaped ema. Koharu and Natsuki’s wish is to be together forever. In the car, Natsuki is asking Nishina why he and Aki don’t just secretly go steady instead of waiting until graduation. It turns out that Aki is okay with it and, Nishina and Aki agree that a student’s duty is to study. Touching her hand, Natsuki says that they also have a lot of memories. While they lovey-dovey with Natsuki wanting to sleep on Koharu’s shoulder, Touya just quietly look out the window. At home, in bed, Koharu dreamily thinks of their kiss and wanting to see him. To her surprise, Natsuki is on her balcony because he also wants to see her. And, they were interrupted by the twins who want to play with Natsuki. That night at the balcony, they try to kiss again but her mother [with the others] calls out from below and asks if they want to light up some fireworks. And, in the end, they cannot find some time alone. On the phone, Koharu informs Konoha that she cannot tell her family about it because she is embarrassed. Konoha correctly guessed that they’ve already kissed each other during the trip. She suggests that they go to the fireworks display and get someone to take care of her younger sisters. They got Emi and Tomo to watch over the twins while Koharu is out with her friend. On the day, Koharu dressed up in a yukata that made Natsuki blush since she’s so cute. After asking if he can touch her, they slightly hug and laugh. On their way, they overheard that Emi forgot the day of the display. Tomo urges the two to go on ahead but Koharu doesn’t have the heart to do that even if she can be alone with Natsuki. To her surprise, Natsuki grabs the twins so that they’ll go with them. Koharu is quite happy that the one she likes is Natsuki. At the fireworks display, Konoha talks with Koharu. Thinking that even if she wants to be alone together but she wants to see her family’s smiling face, Koharu tells Konoha that she thinks that this is the perfect distance between her and Natsuki. Konoha says that her family relationship is quite good and it would be good if she can frankly tell them that ‘she has a girlfriend’. Koharu says yes. And to their surprise, her parents with Uchuu overheard it. Her mother asks if she has a boyfriend. So, it was exposed. Comment: So, the Aki-Nishina arc is over and because of their decision not to go steady, I guess the mangaka won’t be bothered of potential problems that go along with a teacher-student relationship later on. On the ride home, that seems quite awkward for Touya. About not letting the family know, I think it is inevitable that they’ll know and that isn’t much conflict since their parents approve of them together...except perhaps for Uchuu. =P Scans by 工作室

Short Summaries: Hachimitsu ni Hatsukoi 26, Hirunaka No Ryuusei 43 and Kedamono Kareshi 12

Hachimitsu ni Hatsukoi 26: Koharu called Natsuki and asked for help. She tells him that there are some guys, then the line got cut off. Nishina tells Natsuki to stay there and let him handle it if there’s a problem. Natsuki exclaims that he doesn’t care if there’s a problem or not, he won’t give his important girl to some other guy or else, he’ll regret it to death. Nishina is surprised by that. At a villa, it turns out that the one of the two guys is nursing a broken heart and he wanted to bring his [ex-]girlfriend there. His friend tries to cheer him up. Since there is no signal, Koharu asks if they can go but it made the dumped guy cry again. Since Koharu is quite nice, they ended up cooking some meals to cheer up the guy. Sumire Aki tells her that Natsuki would definitely come because he is a hero. Koharu tells her that Nishina will also come. Aki just says yes. Koharu notices this change in Aki and asks her about it. Aki says that it is because of the magic that Koharu gave her – shopping and being made-up to become a ‘new her’, and continue to work towards this love. Koharu thinks that it is the same with her, her friends helping her out to be with her prince, and she must have gotten that magic from them. Soon, the guys are happily eating Koharu’s delicious feast. Koharu tells dumped guy that even if it hurts, cheer up. As the friend and Aki goes out to throw the trash, the dumped guy has fallen in love with Koharu and wanted to go steady with her even if she has a boyfriend. Natsuki stops the guy and tells Koharu that he heard from a store owner that they are here. He grabs the dumped guy’s collar and threatens to kill him. Koharu shouts that it is a misunderstanding. Then, Nishina sees Aki with the other guy. Aki apologizes to him and says that they are not in danger. The guy backs her up and says that they are just having fun. The other guy says that he’ll take responsibility in bringing her back. Recalling what Natsuki told him, Nishina grabs Aki’s hand and runs off with her. While Koharu and Natsuki watch the two in the car, Nishina is telling Aki that it is better to break up with her for it would be quite lonely for her, a crybaby, not to be able to tell others about this. Aki tells him that she is okay if they don’t meet and she cannot tell it to others because it is lonelier if she isn’t at his side. She’ll become stronger so that he doesn’t have to worry about her so please make her become his lover again. Then, Nishina comments about being moved by her outfit and it suits her rather than forcing herself to wear mature clothes. He says that she really got a great friend. Going out of the car, Nishina says that as long as she is his student, they cannot go steady. He holds her hand and says that he hopes that she is willing to wait for him until she graduates. “I like you, Aki.” Aki tearfully cries and says that she likes him, too. Koharu and Natsuki come out of their hiding place and rejoice with Aki. Comment: Nishina’s alibi for breaking up is a bit lame since it is over a perceived ‘loneliness’ and making Aki suffer when she obviously don’t care about that at all. The latter reason for not going steady with her because being possibly caught on having a relationship and it is a no-no kind of thing since he is a teacher is much better and understandable. Also, in a way, it is like not making her committed to him since she’s still young and everything. And, if after graduation, she still likes him, then that’s that. It is amusing though that those two guys are hitting on them because one of the guys has just been dumped and they ended up cheering the guy up. As usual, Natsuki is the hero/prince who ‘saves’ her. Oh ya, hopefully that other guy isn’t related to their school or anything since he might start saying something about Aki and Nishina which might cost him his job. Scans by 工作室

Short Summaries: Hibi Chouchou 30, Hachimitsu ni Hatsukoi 25, and Last Game 20

[Free Talk: Every week, I plan to write short spoilers/summary of various manga that I have been reading/browsing but because of various reasons, I cannot write full summaries. Actually, it is supposed to be just a few lines but I got carried away again. ^^; I plan to move some other series like Kedamono Kareshi here. I’m trying to trim down the full summary series since I’m starting to have symptoms of over-computer use. ^^; Anyway, this is a trial thing so let’s see how it goes.]

Hibi Chouchou 30: After Suiren asks what it would be like if [they] go steady. Kawasumi asks back what is going steady like. This stuns Suiren that Kawasumi asks if she also doesn’t know. With these thoughts, Suiren arrives home. They let go of their hands and bid each other goodbye. Then, there is a cute scene of Kawasumi kept on turning around to see Suiren standing to watch him leave even if he told her to go inside. Suiren laments that he didn’t go in her house again. Suiren wonders about going steady that night, would they be happier? The next morning, Suiren’s father arrives home and comments that she looks different. Suiren’s mother says that it is because she made friends. The parents are happy that they sent her to a co-ed school that is until they learned from her that she has someone she likes. =P The parents have mixed feelings whether they should be happy or worry about this especially the father who is leaving [for work?] again soon. They want to go see the guy at the cultural festival but Suiren dissuades them from doing that. But, she mentions that he always walks her home. After the festival, Kawasumi walks Suiren home. She thinks that she doesn’t have to mention this to him because her parents are just going to have a look at him. Just as Kawasumi is about to say goodbye, Suiren’s parents appear behind Suiren and introduce themselves to Kawasumi. They happily invite him into their house. Comment: Hehe, the next chapter would be fun since it is like ‘meet the parents’ type of scenario. The interaction between Suiren’s parents is quite fun..a contrast of being overprotective yet do not want to be too strict. Scans by allwink.

Koharu blushes when Natsuki tells her that he can’t help mind as to who is the one she likes. Koharu wonders if Natsuki is jealous, jealous over the one she likes. To Natsuki’s surprise, Koharu starts laughing as she thinks that the one she likes is obviously him. Natsuki’s heart beat upon seeing her smile. Koharu looks at him and turns away saying that it is a secret. She tells Conan that they are going. While Koharu walks away with the dog, Natsuki exclaims that isn’t fair for he told her [about the one he likes]. Koharu turns to him and makes a face [stick out tongue] at him. Natsuki shouts for her to wait but Koharu playfully tells Conan that they should run and escape. As Natsuki catches up to Koharu, Koharu thinks that even if her love is one-sided, a love that cannot be returned, but it is a love that can make her feel happy. As tired Conan rests in his dog house, Natsuki calls out to Koharu. About to enter the house, Koharu tells him that she said that it is a secret. Natsuki says that it isn’t that, they are going to buy a cellphone together tomorrow. “It is to protect your safety. This is a childhood friend’s order.” Koharu blushes. She tells him that he is overly protective and speaking of that, he should be saying that to Aki. Natsuki tells her to shut up and don’t worry about that, quickly go home. Koharu smiles and thanks him. Koharu thinks that to be given this kind of importance, in the end, it’s good to be childhood friends. At a cellphone store, the childhood friends are awed over the dazzling line up of cellphones. Koharu says that there are so many phones, so which one is good. Natsuki suggests that they do it based on feeling. Natsuki suddenly picks up a cellphone and exclaims that he wants this one. Surprised Koharu exclaims that he decided on it quite fast. While Koharu is choosing, a girl is telling her friend about wanting to have lovers’ cellphone for using the same cellphone feels like conjugal love. The other girl says that she wants a smartphone so that it will be a pair together with her boyfriend. Koharu’s ear enlarges while eavesdropping on them.

Flustered Koharu is surprised by Natsuki’s “Don’t be cute towards other guys.” She asks him what that is. “What do you mean by that?

Meaning..I totally haven’t thought of it.. *looks at Koharu* Anyway, Koharu, you shouldn’t go to this kind of date..” He didn’t finish for Koharu has already smack him with her bag. She exclaims that he obviously had a girlfriend so he shouldn’t be too opinionated about this. While Natsuki looks surprised at her, Koharu is angrily thinking what the heck is that? That night, Koharu angrily tosses a pillow on the bed and shouts that Nacchan is an idiot. “Not knowing a bit of someone’s feelings.. Doing that kind of thing.. *blushes upon recalling Natsuki’s serious expression, and she jumps into bed* Geez.. he really don’t understand one’s feelings even for a little bit.. (It wasn’t easy to go on a date to forget Nacchan and it became all about Nacchan.)” Koharu looks out the window to see Natsuki chatting on the phone. From his expression, Koharu guessed that he is talking with Aki. Putting her face on the pillow, Koharu thinks that she’s the only one whose head is totally about Nacchan. “Geez.. I’m like an idiot..” At the other side, Natsuki tells Aki that he’ll see her tomorrow and sorry about today. After bidding her good night and hanging up the phone, Natsuki looks out the window. He sees that Koharu’s curtains are closed. A bit flustered, he wonders if she is already asleep. Natsuki remembers Koharu’s flustered expression. He starts to scratch his head and mutters that it [expression of Koharu] totally won’t disappear from his mind.

Narration: “Even if I like Nacchan, but, these romantic feelings already can’t be actualized. So, I want to try out and move forward to the [next] romance stage. Thus, today’s date is the step towards that.” Already dressed up, Koharu puts on some of her honey perfume and gets ready. Narration: “It is obviously because of that, that I came..” In front of AQUA theme park, the childhood friends are surprised to see each other. Koharu exclaims why he is here. Pointing to the theme park, Natsuki exclaims if her date is actually in this place. He tells her that it is such a coincidence, for he is going to have fun with Aki there today. Looking around, Natsuki says that it seems that Aki isn’t around yet. Koharu feels pained for Natsuki is going to have a date with Aki. Natsuki calls out her name that she snaps out of it. Telling herself not to be depressed, she just laughs it off that it is quite a coincidence and she was startled by it. “For you to go on a first date, you’ll definitely have fun!” Natsuki is surprised by Koharu’s happy reaction that he just timidly says ah, ya. Konoha arrives and calls out to Koharu. Koharu anticipates meeting Konoha’s boyfriend. Konoha happily introduces her boyfriend, Kouno Makoto [河野誠; name courtesy of Asahi]. Makoto tells them to just call him Makoto-chan. The two childhood friends are shock since they find Makoto scary because he is dark-skinned, wavy hair, has an earring and skull pendant for a necklace. Konoha asks why Natsuki is here. Natsuki tells her that it is just a coincidence that they encounter each other. Konoha asks him why he is talking politely. She shrugs it off by saying that it doesn’t matter, she’ll introduce Koharu’s partner, Mikami-kun. Koharu is freaking out for what kind of friend a person like Makoto would have. A somewhat good looking guy introduces himself as Mikami Naohiro [三神直弘; name courtesy of Asahi]. Somewhat bored Natsuki says that he isn’t a bit friendly. He looks at Koharu who is already blushing over Naohiro. Soon, the theme park attendant takes their tickets. Konoha tells Natsuki and Aki to have fun and they will also have more fun. While Natsuki still looks surprised, Aki somewhat laughs for it is really such a coincidence that it is unexpectedly, the same place [where the others went]. Koharu tries to bid Nacchan goodbye but Konoha urges her to quickly go. Natsuki starts to look flustered and sweating over seeing Naohiro talking with Koharu. While walking, Konoha worriedly asks Koharu if she is okay. Koharu says yes, and thanks her for her concern. Konoha says that she didn’t think that unexpectedly Natsuki and Aki will also have a date there, and God is quite spiteful. Koharu agrees with her and laughs it off again.

Narration: “I have decided. As a childhood friend, I will cheer Natsuki on his romance.” There is a scene of Natsuki bringing Aki to the finish line. At Honey’s, the whole place is closed [/fully booked] for Koharu and friends. While Koharu drinks her juice, Konoha exclaims that she is stupid for why did she act like a matchmaker between Natsuki and Aki. “And by the way, we didn’t know anything!! Natsuki-kun unexpectedly likes Saionji-chan something. *hitting the table* What’s up with thaaat.” Sumire asks Koharu if she’s the only one who knew. Koharu says yes. Konoha exclaims why Koharu didn’t tell them. Just when Koharu is about to explain, Konoha tearfully asks why would she bear such a painful thing all by herself. Hugging Koharu, Konoha apologizes for she didn’t notice that Koharu is in pain. “I’m sorry for making you perplexed all by yourself.. *Koharu is moved to tears.* It’s because I’m self-satisfied over getting a boyfriend and yet I’m actually stupid to death~~” The two friends hug each other in comfort as Sumire pats Koharu’s head. Koharu says, “It isn’t like that. Seeing you [Konoha] so happy that I’m also happy. (Even if I’m always perplexed for a long time but this is my true feelings.) It’s the same with that thing with Nacchan. *smiles* If only Nacchan is happy, I’m also happy. (This is the form of my love.)” While watering the plants, Tomo tells Conan [dog] to move away or he’ll get wet, and how about he goes to Koharu. Conan seems to be hesitant because it is a mood that he can’t just intrude. Then, Tomo notices blushing Natsuki. Tomo says that he’s home. Just when Natsuki is saying he’s home, Tomo splashes his face with the water from the hose. Drenched wet, Natsuki exclaims what’s he doing. Tomo tells him to be a bit embarrassed after being so enthusiastic in the sports festival. This made Natsuki blush and sweatdrop. He tells Tomo to forget about that, and give him some snack. As Conan goes to Natsuki, Tomo hits Natsuki and tells him that the store is booked for today. “Don’t be smug[/elated] just because you have a girl.” Natsuki is puzzled and mutters that he isn’t smug.

And, Natsuki had told Koharu that he has fallen in love with Aki. Narration: “After a month of falling in love with my childhood friend Nacchan [previous Nats-chan; corrected by Asahi] I never thought that Nacchan unexpectedly likes someone else.. My romance has already died at a ripe old age. I wholeheartedly thank everyone who had cheered me on my first love. By Koharu.” Koharu is gloomy lay her face on the table while her younger brother, Uchuu is eating at the side. Koharu thinks that she has only two paths from. She writes it down on her notebook. One is ‘Do not give up, convey one’s feelings. Confess again. I want to become his girlfriend!’ Second is ‘Like this, just give up this romantic feelings towards Nacchan and thoroughly forget it.’ About the first one, Koharu wonders if it is right now, will she succeed in conveying her feelings. About the second one, it was obviously not easy for her to realize her own feelings. Natsuki suddenly opens the window and calls out to her. Koharu quickly sits up, tears the page from the notebook, crumbles it and throws it to the side. Natsuki asks what that is. Koharu says that it is nothing, she is just doing her homework so is something’s up. Natsuki asks if Koharu’s mother and others are going to the sports festival since his father offered to drive them there. Koharu says that they are downstairs so she’ll go and ask. Natsuki timidly asks her if she didn’t tell the others about it. Koharu innocently asks what. Natsuki says that it is about Aki. After looking surprised, Koharu goes out the door and says that she didn’t say anything about him being in love. He calls her an idiot for it might be heard downstairs. He immediately covers her mouth. Koharu blushes but quickly turns away. Natsuki says that her voice is too loud. Koharu apologizes. Starting to leave, Koharu tells him that she’ll go ask. Natsuki asks her to also help him ask how many are going. Then, Natsuki notices the crumpled piece of paper on the floor. He wonders what Koharu wrote on it. Before he can pick it up, Uchuu quickly grabs it. ^^ Then, Natsuki’s father calls out the balcony to Natsuki as to where he put the digital camera. Natsuki tells him, okay, he’ll go over and get it.

Narration: “Watching Nats-chan’s each and every action, I have realized that Nats-chan has fallen for Saionji-chan.” While playing a Panda console game in Koharu’s room, Koharu is distracted that she kept on making mistakes in the game which requires teamwork. Natsuki complains that they are about to get through that. Koharu apologizes. Natsuki says that she is obviously very good with this game. He asks if something’s up that is worrying her. Remembering how Natsuki touched Aki’s head, Koharu just says that she is thinking what to make for dinner. Natsuki laughs and says that he knew it was that. He tells her that they play again. With knitted eyebrows, Koharu thinks, “No, it isn’t Nats-chan. I’m thinking about that matter between you and Saionji-chan. I’ve always been thinking of that day’s Nats-chan.” While playing, Natsuki shouts for her to jump. Koharu exclaims yes. And in the end, she made a mistake because her game character got bitten by a snake. Natsuki exclaims that she did it again. Koharu apologizes. While smiling, she thinks, “But, no matter how I think and think about it, I still don’t know. What am I to do for in the heart of the one I like, he only has affiliation [towards me]?” In school, Konoha is happily giggling. Sumire looks at her and asks her that it seems that she is in such a good mood. Koharu asks Konoha what’s up with her. Still giggling, Konoha says, “A good question. Hihi, I, Aida [guesswork from 愛田] Konoha got a boyfriend-!! *v-sign* Yeah♡” Her friends are surprised by that. Konoha asks when. Konoha says that he is Kowano-senpai [guesswork from 河野], third year from the basketball club. Koharu is amazed that Konoha and the person she likes mutually like each other. Koharu says that is really great. Konoha smacks Koharu’s back hard and shouts what she is talking about. “Weren’t you also going to be in this situation soon! Just straightforwardly tell Natsuki-kun, ‘I want to be your girlfriend’ and it will be okay♪ Natsuki-kun definitely likes you!” Koharu looks flustered. She tries to tell Konoha about it but seeing Konoha’s happy expression, Koharu just exclaims that she will do her best. Konoha exclaims that is right, she should do her best with this momentum.

Prince Natsuki is looking for his princess. Princess Koharu says that she is here. Riding on his white horse, Natsuki says no, it isn’t her. “Where’s my princess!? Ah, I found her.” It is Saionji. Calling Aki his princess, Natsuki asks her if she wants to go on a journey with him. Soon, Natsuki goes to his castle with Aki. Koharu can only helplessly call for him to wait for her. Then, Koharu wakes up from her dream by calling out to Natsuki. Natsuki looks down on her and says that he’s here. It turns out that Koharu has fallen down from her bed. Natsuki tells her that it is already morning. He tells her that she really slept in such an unsightly manner and it shows on her face. Koharu quickly covers her face with the blanket. Climbing back into the balcony, he teases her of being in such deep sleep with him in a beautiful dream that she doesn’t want to wake up but they’ll be late. Koharu mutters that it isn’t a beautiful dream. Lying down on the bed, Koharu laments that he is really a guy who doesn’t understand one’s feelings. “Natsuki-chan, you idiot.” And the school bell rings. In the committee room, Nishina tells the members that they will help in the preparation for the sports festival. They were asked to do a borrowing item race type of thing and also purchase things for the make-up[/cosplay?] assembly. Koharu complains that it seems that they are being made to do thousands of committee work. Natsuki adds that it is all miscellaneous work and it seems that they were deceived. Nishina just tells them that on that day, the students will be doing it so please. Aki volunteers to go. Nishina thanks her for the help. Just when Koharu is also about to volunteer, Natsuki says that he’ll also go. This surprises Koharu. Aki thanks him. Natsuki says that someone has to carry all those stuff. Nishina says that Natsuki is such a good guy. Natsuki asks if he isn’t going to. Nishina excuses himself by saying that he still has work. Just when Natsuki is about to leave with Aki, Koharu doesn’t like the idea that the two of them will go. She quickly shouts that she’ll go, too because after all, this is committee work so during this time, everyone should go.

After the storm had passed, Koharn wakes up to find a panda stationary on her bed. It is a spoof note from Natski who wrote, ‘Princess♡ Good morning! If you are feeling lively when you wake up, go and eat a bento filled with love♡, Jade♡ [Jade written as 玉子 instead of prince written as 王子] Koharn comments that it is even jade and not prince. Soon, Koharn is cooking some eggs and sausages shaped like octopus. She thinks that of course, she will put in lots and lots of love in the bento box. Outside the gate, Koharn gives happy Natski his bento box. Natski says that it’s great and thank you. Koharn looks at him happily. She thinks that she will definitely make it more delicious than before because she likes him more than before. While walking to school together with Natski, Koharn laments that he generally wasn’t aware of it. In school, Natski is really happy for it is the season when they change their uniforms to summer wear. And it is already the time when there is a balls’ competition [something like sports day but involving sports that has balls in it] and it is heaven. Kotarou says that sports are really fun. Masamoto says that it is fun and there are eyecandies. Of course, the guys are referring to the girls who are wearing t-shirts and skirts/jogging pants. While laughing, someone gestures to a girl and asks Natski about ‘that’. Natski says that it is 65C [bust size]. Another person asks him about that other girl. Natski says 60E. They are amazed at how good Natski is. Natski proudly says that it is experience. Masamoto says that Natski only reads magazines. Natski scolds Masamoto that he told him not to expose that. Suddenly, Koharn bumps Natski’s back with a box. Trembling in pain, Natski tells her to look where she is going or else, there will be an accident. She tells him to do some work of the activity committee. Masamoto tells Koharn that it is almost time for the guys to go to the gym for basketball. A guy whispers to Natski to ask him what Koharn’s chest size is because it seems to be very big. Natski darkly says, ha? The guy got scared. Picking up the box, Natski tells Koharn that they should go. While passing by the sports fields, Koharn says that it is quite lively and which one does he plan to join in. Natski says that in the afternoon, there’s soccer. Koharn laments that it is about the same time as her tennis. She felt sad that she can’t go and cheer for Natski.
