Kawasumi sees her and nods to her. Suiren looks aghast for
that bow seems to mean ‘thanks for being together [/going steady] for a month’.
Ryosuke tells Kawasumi that he’ll definitely get chocolate today. Kawasumi is
puzzled so Ryosuke reminds him that it is Valentines’ Day today. Ryosuke asks
their female classmates to give him one, anyone would do and even if it is a
giri [friendship] choco. A couple of girls say okay and he better return the
favor [<- on White Day when it is the guys turn to give the girls something
in return for the chocos on Vday] The girls are surprised when Mina [guesswork
from 美奈;
just correct me if it is wrong since there are many names based on that kanji]
says that she will give him one since no one would give him. Ryosuke is very
happy about this that Mina’s friends ask her if she is sure about this. During lunch
break, Mina calls Ryosuke who is eating with Kawasumi. Mina gives Ryosuke a bag
of what seems to be cupcakes. He thanks her and says that it is beautifully
packaged. He asks if he really can take it. Mina says yes, and it isn’t giri
choco. [<- if it isn’t giri, it is honmei choco = romantic love] Stunned
Ryosuke returns to Kawasumi and mutters, honmei.. From the roof, Yuri says that
Kawasumi and others are at the courtyard. She suggests that Suiren quickly give
it to him now while there aren’t many people there. Aya repeats that it is okay
even if Suiren didn’t give it at school. Yuri says that doesn’t Suiren want to
give it quickly to him and it seems that Ryosuke got chocolates. Aya says that
it is just giri choco. Yuri is doubtful that it is giri choco because of the
size. She tells Suiren that Kawasumi ought to have gotten chocos from someone
even if it is giri. She says that Suiren’s is in the classroom so she’ll go get
it. Suiren quickly leaves.
While walking to Kawasumi, Suiren thinks that he is quite handsome
so she mustn’t take things lightly. Cheering Yuri and Aya watch them from the
corner. Upon seeing her, Kawasumi stands up. She is holding her chocolates
behind her. She becomes conscious that there are a lot of people around. Then,
she notices a girl calling out to her friend, asking where she is going. It is
Koharu who is walking away. Suiren thinks that she only has to give it to
Kawasumi then after he takes it, she can quickly go back. She recalls Koharu
saying that the only thing she can do for that person is to forget about him.
Suiren bows to Kawasumi and starts to leave. While climbing the stairs back to
the roof, Suiren thinks that she couldn’t give it to him now. Her friends are
calling out to her when to their surprise, Kawasumi calls out, “Shibaseki-chan.”
Suiren turns around. Holding up his hand, he tells her, “Please give it to me.”
Suiren blushes. She walks downstairs and gives it to him. Kawasumi takes it and
says, thank you. They bow to each other and Kawasumi leaves. Suiren thinks that
it would be good if she can do a lot more. Giving it to him in school when they
obviously will go home together. They are obviously also together today and happily
passed through a month. She merely felt that happiness has faded a bit. And,
they still have a long way to go. “Today. Right now. This moment. Is the
happiest. That is what I think from the bottom of my heart.” Kawasumi returns
to where Ryosuke is. The two guys blush as they hold their Vday chocos.
Kawasumi arrives home and is surprised to see Ryosuke in his
room. He asks him why he is there. Ryosuke asks what he should do regarding
Mina. Sitting down on the bed, Kawasumi asks what kind of person is she. Aghast
Ryosuke tells him that she’s also his classmate. He says that she is a cheerful
girl and she sat near him before that they got to talk to each other a lot.
Ryosuke giggles over getting a honmei choco for the first time. He pulls open
the curtain. Looking at his reflection on the glass, Ryosuke wonders out loud
if he is very handsome. He is surprised when Atohira comes in and asks what
Ryosuke is doing and he is always like that. As Atohira prepares to leave,
Ryosuke tells him to wait. Looking at Ryosuke’s cupcakes, Atohira asks, honmei.
Irked over Atohira’s pile of chocos, Ryosuke says yes. He asks what to do since
he should talk to her tomorrow. Atohira tells him to just talk normally and
what does he think of the girl. Ryosuke says that she’s cute, kind, cheerful
and a nice girl. Atohira says then, it will do. Ryosuke asks what he meant.
Atohira tells him to go steady with her. He asks if she knew that they are busy
with club activity. Ryosuke says that Mina is in the volleyball club though
they are more leisurely compared to the karate club. To Ryosuke’s irritation,
Atohira says that it’s very good that the two are set up since his karate level
is up to that degree. Ryosuke says okay, he’ll go steady with her. He asks if
he should wait until White Day. Atohira tells him that is up to him. He asks
Atohira what he should give her back. Atohira says that it depends on the
person. Ryosuke asks Kawasumi what he plans to give back. Atohira says that it
would be good to give Suiren-chan a piece of jewelry. [<- in Japanese, the
word means necklace.] Atohira says that he must have also wondered what to give
on Christmas. Ryosuke says that this guy gave a ref.. Kawasumi shouts, hey.
Atohira wonders if it is ‘three’ [<- ‘san’ which sounds like ‘refer’ in
Japanese as in ‘refer’ence book]. Atohira says that that it would be good to
just give what Suiren-chan would like.
Kawasumi calls out to him and tells him to please call her, ‘Shibaseki’.
[<- they are close if one uses first name so Kawasumi doesn’t want him to
call her by her first name.] The two look surprised over Kawasumi’s request.
Atohira laughs at pouting Kawasumi and asks if he is an elementary kid. Ryosuke
tells him not to laugh at Kawasumi. Taking his things, Atohira apologizes and
says that he’ll call her Shibaseki-chan then. He says that he is just passing
by so he’s going. Ryosuke asks if he is going to return the favor on White Day.
Atohira asks to whom. Ryosuke asks if he isn’t going to give return gifts. He
says that it might be misunderstood and he doesn’t want any hassle. Ryosuke
says that it isn’t like those girls just gave those chocos without reason.
Atohira says that even if he didn’t give return gifts, he still gets these much
from girls every year. This infuriates Ryosuke that he shouts is that so.
Ryosuke starts to bug Kawasumi over what to do on Monday. While shopping for
some clothes, Yuri asks what Kawasumi would give Suiren on White Day. Aya says
that it is definitely a ‘four treasures of study’[calligraphy and scholarship] -type
of thing. Looking at her cellphone, Yuri says that compared to White Day,
Suiren’s birthday is nearer, on March 3rd. Aya asks Suiren what she wants.
While Suiren is thinking about that, Yuri says that 3/3 is on Monday so can
Kawasumi take a break from club on that day. Then, someone asks if Kawasumi
knows it is Suiren’s birthday. They look at Suiren who shakes her head. Yuri
tells her to tell Kawasumi tomorrow. Yuri scolds Aya when she said to just
inform him on Wednesday when they are together. It is morning and karate
practice has just ended. By the sink, Ryosuke says that it is quite cold. He
sees Mina with her friend. He calls out to her and greets her a good morning.
Mina looks away and tells her friend that they should go. While Kawasumi
watches this, Ryosuke is dumbfounded by Mina’s reaction. In section 1-A, Suiren
is wondering if she can tell Kawasumi about her birthday and something like
celebrate it with her. She didn’t think of it but she wants him to wish her
well [/greet her happy birthday].
In section 1-B, Kawasumi looks at gloomy Ryosuke. When the school
bell rings, he is about to call Ryosuke but he suddenly stands up and goes to
Mina’s group. Ryosuke says that the question just now is quite hard. A girl
asks if it is question 7. He says yes. Mina stands up and says that she’s going
to the toilet. The other girl says that she is also going. Soon, it is time to
go to chemistry room. Suiren wonders if Kawasumi is around and her birthday is
coming soon. During lunch, dumbfound Ryosuke says that it is like that, it felt
that it was a misunderstanding that she gave him that choco. Kawasumi glances
at Ryosuke who tries to convince himself that it is like that and bread is very
delicious. Kawasumi looks sad for Ryosuke. From the roof, Yuri tells Suiren
that Kawasumi is there [at the courtyard] so quickly tell him. Aya insists that
it is okay to tell it on Wednesday but Suiren follows Yuri’s advice. As she
heads downstairs, Suiren thinks that even if they won’t be together but at
least, for a moment, she wants to be with him. Kawasumi passes by his classroom
and sees Mina eating lunch with her friends. He goes to them and asks Mina if
regarding that thing, was she mistaken about the person [to give it to]. Mina’s
friends and the others are surprised for it is rare for Kawasumi to take the
initiative to talk with others. Mina stands up and goes out the classroom with
him. Mina’s friends do not know what’s going on. Flustered Mina says that isn’t
a mistake. Kawasumi bows and says is that so, he apologizes for suddenly
intruding. And, he walks away and passes by Suiren. He notices Suiren waving to
him and says, ‘..birth..day’. Surprised Kawasumi asks if it is today. Suiren
shakes her head and says that it is on 3/3. Kawasumi says that it is easy to
remember then he apologizes that he absolutely won’t forget it. While Suiren is
happy that she finally said it, Yuri asks why she is all flustered. Aya
threatens to slaughter him if he forgets. After going to Ryosuke, Kawasumi
tells him that girl said that it wasn’t a mistake. Kawasumi is happy to see
Ryosuke’s smile back on his face. Ryosuke wonders out loud about what to give her
on White Day. Kawasumi mutters March 3rd. Ryosuke scolds him for being stupid
for White Day is on March 14th.
Comment: In these
two chapters, Kawasumi is becoming more proactive in both love and in
friendship. Spending a month with Suiren after school everyday has probably helped
him a lot in knowing how to treat Suiren ^^ For a while there, I thought I’m
going to see another Kimi ni Todoke type of Valentines’ Day but thankfully,
Kawasumi went ahead and asks Suiren for it. I guess Suiren didn’t give it at
that time because of some consideration for Koharu. In a way, I wonder if this
couple is the type wherein when Suiren is shy, Kawasumi does something and when
Kawasumi is shy and not doing much, like what happened before, Suiren is the
one doing something ^-^ Indeed, their relationship is still a long way to go
but it is moving slowly and surely because of that ^^ As for Ryosuke, I guess
this is the reason why he got ‘great blessing/luck’ fortune. I think the girl
is acting shy about facing him after telling him that about the choco. Of
course, snubbing him like that can make a guy misunderstand. In a way, that is
like how guys can misinterpret the actions of a shy girl. ^^;; Apparently even
if he’s handsome, gets lots of chocos and knows how to deal with girls, Atohira
isn’t interested in having a relationship. Of course, that can irritate someone
like Ryosuke. Anyway, we will have a birthday then a White Day. Would Kawasumi
level up his gifts for Suiren? =P And, maybe that elusive kiss? Scans by all★wink汉化组

there're 2 chapters released but why i feel like it's so short TT.i'm a bit disappointed that morishita suu sensei skips what happen in their date.however they're still cute in these chapter though.
ReplyDeletei feel the same way with you when suiren's going to gives kawasumi chocolate really remind me of kimi ni todoke scene.good thing that she can gives it to him in the end.
hoping there will be some development to see more in suiren's birthday (probably in next chapter)
PS.i wonder will scanner team scans hibi chouchou volume 0 or not?(a side story about kawasumi's side. i saw in their website seems like this chapter published together in this weekly magazine.i wanna read it so badly T^T )
Ya, vanilladada...I guess she couldn't think of some progress between the two if it is just a date.
DeleteYup ^^
Indeed, hopefully.
Hm..I read about it in the official page but I don't know if they will do it.
I really love now that Kawasumi is becoming more initiative with his relationship to Suiren like what he did in receiving Suiren's chocolate. It's also adorable how they are slowly progressing in their relationship and it also helps that they friends who always supports them. Aside from Kawasumi's being more initiative now in his relationship to Suiren, I also like that he also took action for his friend Ryosuke to clear out the misunderstanding much to the surprise of Mina's friends. I hope that 'the kiss' between Kawasumi and Suiren would be soon..if not...I could wait xD
