Sensei yawns and asks Nino if she isn’t finished writing her
diary. Nino tells him to sleep ahead. She tells him that ever since Sensei
talked in front of everyone, she started to forget to write [her diary]. Then,
she asks him what he talked about with Kira while they were taking a bath.
Sensei says that it is nothing and it is because he stinks of the perfume so it
took some time. Nino says is that so, good night. It is 2:45am and Nino wakes
up to go to the toilet. She looks out the window to see Kira sitting up in bed with
his head between his knees. Nino is surprised by this. Soon, at a karaoke bar,
the class is getting ready to sing as much as they like – Arashi, Perfume, etc.
Kira asks where Sensei is. Nino says that staying with a crowd for a long time
tires him a bit so Sensei already went home. Yabe says that he wanted to sing
together with Robert. Kira says that definitely, won’t happen. Nino says that
she didn’t see Rei around. Yabe wonders if she ate a lot so she went to the
toilet. They were shock when Rei dresses up cutely like an idol and starts to
sing some ‘it’s like a strawberry kiss’ song. Nino couldn’t believe it. Yabe
exclaims if that is really squirrel girl. Kira says that it seems that before, Rei
mentioned about whether or not, she’ll become some idol.. Yabe laughs and asks
if she’s an idiot for that’s impossible. Nino says no, isn’t she quite cute.
Kira says no, it isn’t impossible for as long as one lives on, the
possibilities are limitless. This made Nino and Yabe look at him. After picking
the song, blushing Kira calls out to everyone that with limitless love for
Nino, he is going to sing Mr. Children. Nino blush over this.
While Yabe watches on, the others cheer Kira on and shout
‘conjugal love~’. Rei comes out of the toilet after changing back to her
uniform. She spots Yabe sitting by the stairs. Yabe recalls the time when Kira
told him that he’ll have a surgery. Flashback to the church: Yabe happily
shouted that if Kira got the surgery, then he’ll be saved right so how come he
didn’t say this earlier. Kira slightly smiled and said that the survival rate
is very low and it is that gamble with fate-type [it depends on fate/will of
God] of thing, quite exciting. End flashback. Yabe is startled to see Rei
looking at him. She sits beside him and asks what it is. Recovering from his
surprise, Yabe says that it is nothing. Rei just quietly sits beside him. Yabe
tells her that he cannot imagine that Kira is leaving tomorrow. Rei says that
his acting as if he’s quite strong is exposed early on. After a pause, Yabe
says that he basically thinks that he wanted Kira to show more smiles from his
heart but there is no single thing that he can do for Kira. He bites his thumb
and tearfully mutters that anyway, he’s shit. Rei asks him that didn’t he still
have drawing. “Aren’t you really good at it? Drawing an interesting thing would
make him happy so how about it?” Yabe looks surprised at smiling Rei. Yabe
blushes a bit upon recalling how Kira said that his drawing is very interesting
and he’s amazing. Then, some guys pass by to tease Yabe that it is a lover’s
rendezvous. Rei is speechless when Yabe shouts that it isn’t lovers.
On the way home, Kira is happily telling Yabe that he was
quite startled for they are going home soon when Kobayashi and the others
suddenly talked with him and wanted to take a picture. Yabe just says, ya. Nino
asks if those are the guys whom he had a falling out before. Kira says yes.
Nino is glad to hear of this development. While munching on her food, Rei
points out to them that there is a sakura blossom on that tree. Kira excitedly
asks where. Rei says there, but it is only one blossom. Kira exclaims that’s
true. He takes out his cellphone and says that it is no good not to take a
picture of it, the last sakura. He freezes then immediately corrects himself by
telling Yabe and the others that he meant ‘this year’s’. Yabe looks serious. He
starts to leave and says that he’ll leave the rest to them. Kira asks him
what’s up, he’s leaving tomorrow, and doesn’t he want to chat with him a bit
more. While walking the stairs of the pedestrian bridge, Yabe tells Kira that
he’ll start drawing once again. After looking surprised, Kira asks him if that
is for real. Kira happily says that is amazing and what kind of manga is it.
Yabe says that it is about a crybaby main protagonist who is going through a
life and death gamble. Kira looks surprised. He laughs it off by saying that it
is like him. Kira is startled when Yabe turns around and points to him to say,
“I won’t draw BE [bad ending] because the protagonist would definitely have a
HE [happy ending]. That is Yabe’s call[/answer?]!!” Kira and others look
surprised. Yabe turns around and says that he’s going, goodbye. Kira is
surprised when Rei wants to give him the food she’s eating as her farewell gift
to him. Rei turns around saying that she’s going to buy Magnolia Bakery’s
cupcake. Nino just quietly watches on.
In Kira’s bedroom, Kira tells Nino about skype which is like
a video-chat using the computer [with internet] and it is free. Nino is glad to
hear about this for she is worried about telephone expense. Kira says yes, and
he wants to talk with her everyday. Nino says that for the time being, she is
going to get herself a passport. Kira says that even if he is happy about that,
but she doesn’t have money for travel expenses. Nino says that she’ll think
something about that. Looking at his cellphone, Kira says that it is already
00:05 [of March 23] and she should go home. To Kira’s surprise, Nino says that
she won’t. “I won’t go home today.” While Kira insists that is no good, Nino
tells him, “Because, Kira-kun, you’ll be all alone that will make you uneasy
and cry.” Kira looks surprised then with a tear in his eye, Kira asks if he was
found out. Nino looks teary-eyed, too. Putting his head on her shoulder, Kira
says that in the end, if he were to be separated from her, his greatest weapon,
he would still become scared. Nino just looks flustered. Looking at her, Kira
asks if he can hold hands with her while sleeping for he wanted to carry her
warmth with him and go. Nino suddenly stands up and tells him to turn around
for a while. While turned away, Kira wonders if there is something hindering
Nino. While the moon is up, Nino calls out to him. Kira turns around and asks
what it is.. He stops to see naked Nino who is using only a blanket to cover
herself.
With eyes wide open, Kira asks her what she is doing. Nino
says, “Eve..even if my body is quite thin and weak, that there is no charm
[charisma] to talk about, but don’t say, only holding hands, take everything.
So, promise me.. *cries* Please promise me and say that you absolutely won’t
die.” Kira felt like crying. He hugs her tight and says, “I promise you.”
Narration: “God, by all means, bless [and protect] Kira-kun.” And, they slept
while holding hands until it is morning. All dressed up, Kira salutes Nino and
says that he’s going. Saluting back, Nino wishes him a pleasant journey. Sensei
goes to Kira and tells him that he noticed it, it is this morning when he
brought Nino home. Kira assures him that nothing happened and they just slept
together. Sensei asks if he wants him to believe that. Kira admits that there
is a bit of touching. This made Sensei scream, what. Tiara is bidding goodbye
to Nino’s parents. Tiara is still dressed up as a woman since it is in the
morning when he had to exchange shift with a store worker. Soon, preparing to
ride in the taxi, Kira and Tiara wave goodbye at smiling Nino. Narration:
“March 23, Kira-kun has left.” Soon, the cicadas are chirping. [<- summer]
In the street, Nino has fallen to her knees and dropped her bag. Blurb: “The
two had promised to see each other again. But during the season of the song of
cicadas [/chirping of insects], Nino lost strength. This is because!?”
Comment: It seems
that we are now approaching the climax of the series = it is going to end soon.
There is no longer any question regarding their love for each other. That
promise and the other scenes are quite moving. ;_; So the unresolved thing is
will Kira survive this series or not..and probably whatever Sensei told Kira
while they are having a bath together. Kira did well in having that happy
expression during the farewell party. Of course, those who are close to him and
know the real story about his overseas trip know what Kira is truly feeling,
and probably like him, they are also a bit uneasy about this. For now, they all
try to be optimistic about this with Yabe drawing again to make Kira happy, and
Nino willing to give her everything to him. So, that last scene could be the
mangaka teasing us that something bad happened..well, it could also be a good
thing like = 'I couldn’t believe it' type of thing. Well, maybe the mangaka is
telling us something through Yabe = she draws HE and not BE mangas. We’ll know
soon enough. Scans by 离境汉化组

ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, liza ^-^
DeleteIs that so...
ahh this chapter make me bawled my eyes out! Kira dont die!! Nino needs you!!!!!!! btw, thanks for the summary! <3 Tika
ReplyDeleteYa..and thanks for reading, Tika ^-^
DeleteI'm hoping she got an email that the surgery is a success. Although how much time is needed to prepare for the surgery over in the US? If it's already summer, it seems like it should be at least three months after he left, and that seems like more than enough time to have a surgery and recover a significant amount... unless there were complications in the surgery and he went into a coma or something. Did we ever find out exactly what's wrong with him? Something about his heart, right, but no details? Hrm.
ReplyDeleteIt depends, I think, Tohru13 on how strong his heart is still is for the surgery, how much preparation are needed..
DeleteNope, it is just something about the heart which can be operated on but has a very slim chance of success.
Kikou ... ^^
ReplyDeleteTks you ...tks you Kat for this summary .... such a lovely one but very sad. .... and when finishing it ... I don't still know how the author will end this story ..... ^^ ..... I fear for the more dramatic ending .... because like it's said it's a shoujo/drama .... but well in all cases it's a very good story !!!
Bises ^^
Thanks for reading, zaza ^-^
DeleteIndeed, and yes, it's quite a good story ^^

DeleteTrue.. and thanks for reading them ^_^
The only thing I dont like from this manga is the genre of tragedy :(
ReplyDeleteThanks for the summary Kat
Ya..it can be a turn off for some people though in this case, it makes the love more heart-felt since there is kind of like a deadline.
DeleteThanks for reading, Anita ^-^
Thank you for your reviews about Kyou no Kira-kun!With your help i can somehow understand the chapters because I don't know Japanese or Chinese at all :D !I love this manga so much and I am happy that someone translates it for us)Your translations are cool!! Thanks again and I can't wait for 30 chapter review because I am so interested what happened to Kira (I have seen 30 chapter raw!) Please write it sooner!))
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading and the comment, Nina ^-^
DeleteAh, I translate from Chinese scanlations, so until that is out, no summary.
sometimes I feel stupid for reading this as the genre itself already implies that Kira could be dead in the end, the surgery is very risky >___< I'm just rooting for his life based on Yabe's manga, although the last Kira/Nino scene has made me feel uneasy...
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Keiji..what it would lead to is already mentioned on the first chapter...so, I'm ready for the worst case scenario..I hope ^^;
DeleteThank you for all your summaries! :):) I looked up the song and the English translation,it was so pretty!! It's perfect for this series.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, Marisa ^-^ Yup.
