Nakanmon! 15: Tsukasa
is surprised that Youichi had admitted that he likes her. She wonders if it is
for this real because of the place and mood..and she is whisk away by Nozomi.
Nozomi stops running off with her when she reminds him that she’s still wearing
the school indoor shoes. She wonders why he would suddenly do this. She decides
the best thing to do is to properly reject him. While she is telling him this,
Nozomi asks her to go steady with him. He tells her that his physical features
will improve later on, he knows what girls like, and he’ll be a boyfriend
who’ll satisfy her. Just when she is about to say something, her cellphone is
ringing. Thinking that it is Youichi, she wants to answer it but he stops her
by cornering her to the wall. He begs her to be moved by him again and this
time, he won’t hurt her again and he’ll properly cherish her. Tsukasa thinks
that things won’t progress for all three of them if she doesn’t say things
clearly. She apologizes and says that in the end, she..[likes] Himeno.. Nozomi
tells her not to tell her the reply right now, please just think about him,
even if it is only for a day, think only about him and not thinking nor talk
with any other guy then, he’ll listen to what she has to say. At home,
Tsukasa’s mother is cleaning a picture when her husband arrives. They talk
about work and how coming to this place is good for both Tsukasa and her
[mother]. They plan to go to Hiroshima next month for Chihiro’s death
anniversary. They plan to spend a night there. Just when they are asking
Tsukasa about it, Tsukasa refuses to talk to her father. She has decided to
keep that deal with Nozomi which includes her father being a guy. She gets an
email from Yoichi about waiting for her so she replied that she has to deal
with something first tomorrow then, she’ll properly talk with him. She wonders
what to do regarding not talking with him for the whole day. The next day, she
wears a facial mask. She won’t return Chisai’s greeting and calls Youichi,
Kimura [guesswork from 木村]. So, Tsukasa tries her best not to talk with any teachers
who are talking about what happened yesterday, nor with her male classmates.
While Nozomi is watching, she tries to keep on thinking of Nozomi. A teacher
calls out to her to quit being lost in thought. She blurts out that she is
thinking of Nozomi. This made Youichi break his pencil. While everyone is
wondering about it out loud, the teacher tells her that she knows about
yesterday so can’t Tsukasa think of it after class.
After school dismissal, a female classmate asks Tsukasa if
she wants to join the ‘cheer up’ party for a male classmate who got dumped.
Tsukasa wants to quickly go home so that there will be no more mishaps but the
classmate already drags her away. In the restaurant, Nozomi quietly watches
Tsukasa using cold [sickness] as an alibi not to talk with any guys. Misa
approaches Nozomi and asks if he isn’t joining the others. He asks what’s up.
She tells him that it is nothing and Tsukasa is acting weird today. Nozomi says
that he didn’t do anything and they have agreed that he won’t do anything until
she likes him. Misa comments that he looks frivolous but it turns out that he
isn’t. Nozomi says that Tsukasa really cannot grasp essentials when her brain
isn’t that bad because honestly she doesn’t have to pay attention to him but he
is very happy. He laughs and asks why he feels like a fool and why he has this
feeling when he’s with her. I think Misa just says, ya. At the opposite store
where they are cheering up their dumped classmate, Youichi is wondering why he
is there but then Tsukasa said that she’ll tell him the answer, when..but he
told her he’ll wait and she has things to think of, and what could be the
reason. While he’s thinking, the others are talking about how weird Tsukasa is
acting today and could it be she’s going steady with Nozomi. Youichi couldn’t
stand it so he decides to go out just to hear someone saying that some girl
chatting about those two kissing. This shocks Youichi. Going out of the toilet,
Tsukasa thinks that she’ll have to bear with it a bit longer then she’ll reject
Nozomi then give her answer to Youichi. Then, after she removed her mask, she
is surprised to see Youichi there. After he said that he wanted to tell her
something, Tsukasa is nervous because she wanted to reject Nozomi first. When
someone else is going to the toilet, Youichi quickly pulls Tsukasa to the
corner wherein they can hear the others voices inside. Tsukasa kept on thinking
of him as Kimura. Youichi asks her up to when she is going to make him wait
about that thing he asked her earlier. He asks for her answer. Tsukasa thinks
that this is no good for her mind is now filled with Youichi. Comment: Honestly, it is indeed quite
silly for her to agree to this request but I guess Tsukasa is really such a
nice girl. I view this as the ‘other guy’s last hurrah’, desperate attempt to
score with the girl. From how things are shown, it seems that Misa might be
paired up with Nozomi later on. Anyway, what I’m a bit worried about is for
this request to cause some sort of misunderstanding and complicate things for
the would-be couple. Up to what degree would Tsukasa keep that request? Anyway,
since the blurb for the next chapter is ‘climax’, so something important should
happen by then. Scans by 离境汉化组
True Love 9: There
will be a 3 day 2 night study camp by the lake tomorrow. While Ai and Nanayo
[guesswork from 七代]
complain over the busy study schedule, Asahina [guesswork from 朝比奈] tells
them about a lot of people become lovers during that time. He also mentions
about some legend wherein they got a rock from a cave and write one’s name and
the person they like, throw it in the camp fire..and if it didn’t completely
burn up, it is a test of love. Asahina says that he has his eye on Ai. Ai
thinks it is a joke but he asks what if he is serious. Just then, Yuzuru throws
the soccer ball at Asahina’s head and tells him not to hit on his younger
sister. Asahina whines over the many invitations that Yuzuru got from the girls
to ‘secretly go out of the dorm and go to the lake side’. Yuzuru says that he
rejected those and he won’t let any guy go steady with Ai if he doesn’t approve
of that guy which is his right as the older brother and Asahina has 100% zero
chance. Just as the guys are leaving, Ai tosses his soccer back to her and
calls out, ‘brother’ for no reason except she wants to. Asahina quickly notices
something. By the stairs, Nanayo is jealous of Ai because it doesn’t seem like
they are siblings, but lovers. After some talk, Nanayo decides to confess to
Yuzuru during the camp. This made Ai somewhat lost in thought and depressed. After
school dismissal, Yuzuru comes to get her. Since they only one umbrella and it
is raining hard, Yuzuru decides to go to their apartment first. [Iirc, Yuzuru
doesn’t live together with his family] So, after a shower, Yuzuru is half
naked. They fuss about him being a pervert and stops when the kiss was mentioned.
They casually talk about when their parents are coming home and packing things
for tomorrow. Ai starts talking about Yuzuru having a lot of confessions and
being popular so give her a bit of that. Covering himself with the blanket, Yuzuru
quickly goes into the bed saying that it is cold. Ai doesn’t want him on her
bed so they had a tug-of-war with the blanket. Yuzuru refuses to wear his
father’s clothes because of the ‘old man’ smell. Then, he ends up on top of Ai.
They blush. He touches her face and asks when did she become honest, and is she
interested in this. She says yes. This somewhat surprises Yuzuru that Ai takes
the opportunity to hit him with an alarm clock on the head. She pushes him out
of her room as punishment for lying on her bed. After tossing a blanket to him,
Yuzuru asks if he always won’t have a girlfriend. To her surprise, he says that
he is actually thinking that isn’t bad. When she didn’t respond, Ai admits to
him that she is a bit startled for she thought that he won’t belong to anyone
else. Yuzuru laughs and asks what that is. Ai says she doesn’t know. She hopes
that it keeps raining so that the camp would be canceled. Comment: It turns out that the siblings’ friends are quite sharp
for they already notice that something is out of the ordinary with the two. For
now, the siblings are keeping their ‘special like’ towards each other a secret.
And since Yuzuru is entertaining thoughts of going steady, maybe it is to try
to forget about Ai. Somehow I think that the siblings might agree to go steady
with the friends which might end up badly = hurting themselves and their friends.

Waltz no Ojikan 5:
In fairy tales, the princess is lucky for she only has to wait and her prince
would come and get her but for Hime, she doesn’t have the luck of that
happening even if she always waits so, she’ll just have to go to her prince.
With that kind of thinking, Hime hopes that Tango watches her. While Tango
wonders what Yuusei is up to that he brought Hime to this competition, his
thoughts were interrupted by the audience who were anticipating to see Yuusei
dance. Apparently, there are more people than usual because they want to see
Yuusei dance with some other girl than Sumire. Hime is bewildered and amazed
over the place when the competition is starting. That ends when Yuusei
approaches her and they start to dance. Tango observes over how good they are
that he starts to become jealous when Hime said that she wanted to be his
partner. He asks Sumire if she’s fine with Yuusei dancing with someone else.
Sumire gives him a picture of young Tango happily dancing. She tells him that
Hime is doing this for him, so that he’ll dance [ballroom] again. Tango recalls
that he did went through that before, always practicing until it is perfect.
Sumire tells him that he should ‘answer’ Hime and she [Sumire] even had this
little bit of hope that he’ll return to dancing. Tango crumples the picture and
says that it isn’t that easy. Then, the people are shouting in amazement that
the two looks back at the dance floor. It turns out that Yuusei changed his
footsteps. Tango is shock for that is his special dance move that he tried to
do when he was a kid but then the audience thought it is awkward and strange.
Tango is frustrated over this and thinks that he might be able to do it now
since he is older and had more practice now. Yuusei glances up at Tango and
thinks that he has seen it. Yuusei hopes that after making Tango see him dance
that move, and Hime happily dancing, it would remind him how fun dancing is.
Since Yuusei was looking at Tango, he has lead Hime to another couple and they
bumped into each other. Hime falls flat on the floor. She stands up and
apologizes which surprises everyone.
Picking Hime up, Yuusei tells her that there’s no need to
apologize. But it already affected Hime as Tango noted, because Hime is facing
down over her guilt of interrupting someone’s dance when they’ve work so hard.
Tango explains to Sumire that Hime is still the same before wherein she has
like ‘air-like’ existence – not wanting to trouble others nor attract other
people’s attention. She is okay if they are alone but with people watching. The
audience starts to think that Hime is a bad dancer so they start to cheer for
Yuusei. This lowers Hime’s confidence further which make it seem like she disappeared
and Yuusei is dancing alone. Tango is frustrated to see Hime wasting all her
effort like this that he suddenly shouted, ‘Makimura’. Tango decides to climb
up the stairs to make Hime look up. He shouts to her to look up in order to
dance well, like he told her, and if she’s going to dance with him, she
shouldn’t forget that. This made Hime hold her head up and smile brightly.
Everyone start to notice Hime’s dancing. Tango recalls Hime saying that he’s
amazing for he made her like her name. He thinks that isn’t true for she’s the
one who is amazing for unlike him, she is able to go forward to become her true
self. He recalls what he likes about ballroom dance, and it is special and
beautiful. After the dance, everyone starts to applause. Hime looks up. Yuusei
praises her for doing well even if it is her first time. He asks what is feels
being applaud by other people. Hime didn’t reply. Yuusei looks up and smiles.
He comments that Hime doesn’t pay attention to other people’s applause [only
Tango’s]. Hime is happy looking at Tango who is clapping. Sumire looks
surprised and frowns while looking down. Comment:
I guess that is enough for Tango to come back onstage and be Hime’s partner. In
the end, Tango is still the one who is perfect for her because he really knows
how to deal with Hime. From Sumire’s reaction at the end, I guess she could
really be Tango’s former partner. Scans by all★wink汉化组
