Slamming the divorce paper on the table, Isuzu exclaims if
she still thinks of making Nao like her. He already told her not to do
meaningless things, and face reality. While Karin stares at the divorce papers
with blank eyes, Isuzu reminds her that Nao wanted to leave his house that he
would marry anyone. He admits to have admonished Nao a bit and say that kind of
thing is very strange yet Nao would easily sign the divorce paper. He tells her
that she is just being played around by that despicable jerk. Karin starts to
cry. She tearfully asks if she is really only being played around. This
somewhat startles Isuzu. She asks him about someone [Nao] doing things like hug
her from behind and hold her hand, even if he isn’t really thinking of it. Isuzu
grinds his teeth. He angrily says that he absolutely couldn’t do it but that
guy can. He repeats to Karin that Nao deceived her. He says that Nao is
obviously a high schooler, yet he is the type of person who can do that kind of
marriage thing. This made Karin think that it is like when they got married –
after deciding to get married, Nao told her that he is really happy about marrying
her, and he would always kept on smiling, then, during the wedding, he even
kissed her, but after living together, he told her that hates shallow girls the
most. She wonders if this situation is also the same as that situation. Karin
says that she really felt that she got closer with Nao but could it be that she’s
mistaken and it is only because he is putting up a pretense. Isuzu says that is
right, after all, that guy is smiling when he said that they are going to
divorce. This surprises Karin and she mutters that he is indeed smiling.
Holding a pen, Isuzu urges her to quickly sign her name on the divorce paper
and forget about that despicable jerk. Taking the pen, Karin says if that is
so.. To Isuzu’s surprise, Karin stands up and slams the pen on the table.
Teary-eyed Karin exclaims that she absolutely won’t forgive.. It is absolutely won’t
do to let that kind of person to do what he pleases and she absolutely won’t be
signing it. After recovering from his surprise, Isuzu calls her stupid, for
wouldn’t it be better to divorce and thoroughly sever their relationship. Karin
exclaims that he’s annoying and why is he getting involved in this. She tells
him that he doesn’t have summer class today so he shouldn’t be in school. “This
is Karin and Nao-senpai..a married couple’s problem! It has nothing to do with
you, Rinrin!!” This surprises flustered Isuzu. He suddenly pulls Karin to him.
Meanwhile, Nao and the rest of the soccer club’s members are practicing. While
resting, Nao looks at the screaming fangirls and wonders what he is looking
for. Yuuya comments that Nao’s stalker didn’t come today. Tall friend wonders
if she didn’t come because it is summer vacation. While Yuuya is whining, Nao
mutters that she won’t come again. Tall friend glances at flustered Nao and is
puzzled by his expression. Back in the classroom, Isuzu says that that regarding
Karin, it completely has something to do with him. Karin asks why. While
hugging Karin, Isuzu exclaims, “I.. Because I like you..!”
Comment: And it
seems that Isuzu is indeed a love rival? Comparing their looks among other
things, Nao can easily beat Isuzu. ^^; No challenge at all especially because
of the things that Isuzu has been doing behind Karin’s back = don’t have a
better personality/character to edge out Nao. And, he most probably isn’t Karin’s
type and based on the flashback, she seems to only think of him as a friend
whom she is making manlier so that he won’t be cuter than her. ^^;; He is
pretty much the childhood friend whose love interest got snatch from underneath
his nose while he is still waiting to improve himself or well, be at marriageable
age. He only has himself to blame for being complacent. I guess aside from
jealousy for Nao, and perceived bad impression about Nao, Isuzu ought to be
very desperate to break them apart since Karin has really fallen for Nao. It’s
good that Karin isn’t going to let either guys have their way with her. She won’t
sign the divorce paper and just let Nao get what he supposedly wants. I wonder
if she is in ‘vengeful mode’ when she mentioned about not forgiving him but
then, Karin has a soft spot for Nao after all, she easily forgive him after
those harsh things he said to her after they got married. She finally noticed
Isuzu’s very obvious meddling in her marriage problem. Because of what she
said, Isuzu finally confessed..and would probably be rejected in the next
chapter. Well, it would be nice for them to team up – maybe some fake going
steady – to make Nao jealous and regret over what he is doing since they assumed
that he is deceiving Karin. Then, maybe, keep a secret that there was no
divorce after all when he finally admits and has really fallen in love with
Karin. Nao is missing Karin and is probably being bothered by his guilty
conscience over what he did. So, I guess the point of this divorce thing is to
make Nao realize his love for Karin and appreciate her in a more dramatic way
rather than ‘doing things slowly’, or perhaps, a lesson for him not to take
marriage lightly = want to marry then marry, want to divorce, just divorce. And,
Isuzu is just a catalyst for the divorce thing to happen? Scans by all★wink汉化组. By the way, the
mangaka seems to have gotten sick ‘poor physical condition’ so she is going to
take a break..the series is scheduled to resume on February, 5th issue of
Shocomi.

Thank you for the summary :)
ReplyDeleteI don't want them to divorce. They are already in a point where they mutually like each other. Though I can tell that Nao's reason is kinda petty. Because if he wanted to leave his parents, he should've done it a long time ago without even marrying.
ReplyDeleteYup..and based on that reason, maybe he also wants financial security since Karin's father is the one currently providing for them.
DeleteThank you for the summary. So,finally isuzu has shown his real intention. The way he was meddling in karin's marriage, it seemed obvious that he is in love with her. It is sure that karin will reject him, but if she takes a little time to do this , she can take the chance to make nao jealous and make him confess his love for her. since that idiot is already missing her. :P
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading ^-^
DeleteYa..and I thought it is just a very concerned friend. ^^;
Ya, it is obvious that she'll reject him and I'm hoping something like that..along those lines of making Nao jealous and regret what he did ^^
Thanks for the summary
ReplyDeleteI like this manga. I hope the story will be different from any other Minami Kanan's manga (you know, something like attempted rape)
Thanks for reading ^-^
DeleteHehe..well, hopefully so ^^
Thxxx
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome ^^
DeleteThis chapter is short and focuses on Isuzu.. but i liked the last scenes of Nao somewhat missing Karin and Isuzu's confession..
ReplyDeleteYeah, i think Nao will definitely win Karin's heart over Isuzu, since Isuzu didn't have any proper introduction or wasn't build up, not having any interesting characteristics.. or maybe next chapters will reveal some important events between Karin and Isuzu that will make Karin think and be confused with her feelings?
Well, i hope Karin, being stubborn as she was, will not give up on Nao.. will her "revenge(??)", make them even closer than before or definitely break them up?
As always, thank you Ms. Kat.
Yup, I agree.
DeleteHm..maybe.
Hehe, maybe bring them closer in a way? Like, ah, 'we still like each other even after all that' kind of stuff?
You're welcome ^-^
yeah, i thought so too Ms. Kat.. they may still be together in the end coz there is no Male lead that can replace Nao, unless they make Isuzu be a bit interesting.. or there's another?
DeleteYup, for now, that is right. We'll just wait and see how it turns out.
DeleteI like this manga. Cannot wait for the next chapter.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your hard work and please keep summarizing.
Hehehee.... XD
I thank you for what you do.
ReplyDeleteI hope the mangaka has a full recovery. Even if this series ends, as long as mangaka is healthy in the end.
Thanks for the comment ^-^
DeleteYa ^^

ReplyDeleteThanks for reading and the comment ^-^
DeleteI LOVE your summaries they keep me satisfied while I wait for translations to come out! I kinda feel sorry for Isuzu though. Poor guy. But he seriously needs to learn how a relationship works.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment ^-^
DeleteYup ^^
Gosh! I melted at the last part. I don't know why but I like IsuzuXKarin pair. Thanks for the summary, Kat! :D
ReplyDeleteHehe, is that so, Edj.
DeleteThanks for reading ^-^

ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, Andreia ^-^
DeleteIt is already out in Japan on Feb 5th. Still waiting for the Chinese scanlation.
Why don't you do an English version and upload to Manga websites? ):
ReplyDeleteToo time consuming and troublesome, aside from not owning the scans.
