Kawata asks Kawasumi when the
excursion is. Kawasumi doesn’t have a clue so he informs him that it seems that
every year, the second years would go to a theme park. It is at Wakuwaku
Paradise and he went there before with Nana, his girlfriend. While returning the
homework, Kawata is complaining why girls like such annoying things and she bugged
him about wanting to ride the Ferris Wheel and of course, that girl truly
really like him. Then, he looks surprised and shouts that he won’t tell
Kawasumi. Kawasumi is puzzled over what he doesn’t want to tell him. Soon, the
teacher tells everyone to separate into groups for the excursion. Suiren is
grouped with Meguna and the other girls. Kawasumi grouped himself with Kawata
and the other guys. Later on, while walking home, Ryousuke is lamenting over
not being able to be in the same group as Mina because boys and girls are
separated. While Kawasumi walks ahead, Mina tells Ryousuke not to always sigh.
Ryosuke says that it is obviously Wednesday but Kawasumi is going to the dojo.
Upon arriving at the dojo, the door opens and Atohira comes out. He glances at
Kawasumi then jogs off with the others. Kawasumi looks serious and thinks that
he absolutely must win. Kawasumi goes in the dojo and Ryousuke is starting to
wonder[/worry] if Kawasumi is okay. Then, he notices Koharu looking inside the
dojo as if trying to look for someone. Ryosuke wonders if she is still after
Kawasumi. Jealous Mina calls out his attention and says that he isn’t listening
to her. He apologizes but she pouts and says that she’ll ignore him.
Mina starts to walk away that
Ryousuke exclaims that he wants to listen to what she says, for real! Mina
looks at him and shouts that she’s going to use scissors, jakenpon [scissors,
rock paper game]. Ryousuke realizes that it is shoulder boxing. [<- something
like hit the shoulder as punishment if he loses the game.] Mina’s scissors
defeats Ryousuke’s paper. She looks flustered. She turns her scissors into
paper and holds his hand. She tells him to quickly say something. Ryousuke is
saying something but ends up drooling, blushing and giggling. Ryousuke asks why
she wants to hold hands. She calls him disgusting. He says that she’s so cute.
She calls him stu-pid. And, Kawasumi is busy sparring with someone as the
others look on. It is night. Kawasumi arrives home and looks at the telephone.
He thinks that she’s the first he’s going to tell that he won. Ichi comes in
Kawasumi’s room and tells him to eat. Kawasumi is sound asleep. Ichi tries to
pulls him to wake him up but Atohira, who is standing by the door, tells Ichi
to let Kawasumi sleep. Ichi pulls the blanket on Kawasumi. As Ichi heads out,
Atohira glances at sleeping Kawasumi. Soon, it is the day of the tournament. Ryousuke,
together with Mina, is shock to see aghast Koharu. Koharu looks away as
Ryousuke pulls Mina to the opposite way and says that they go at this side.
While sitting down, Mina asks Ryousuke if he knows her. Ryousuke says that it
seems that she [Koharu] still likes Kawasumi. He wonders if Suiren hasn’t
arrived yet. Then, it is Kawasumi vs Atohira.
Comment: I think
this duel would be more fun and exciting if they are love rivals. So, it is
literally ‘fighting’. =P Based on this chapter, since Kawasumi is very serious
with karate and everything, I think his obsession to win is because he doesn’t
want to lose to Atohira who seems to have temporarily given up on it. Atohira
is like someone whom he looks up to regarding karate and then, he would go to a
school that has nothing to do with karate. Also, it could be Kawasumi’s pride
since he has been practicing like almost everyday in clubs and dojos but Atohira
didn’t and just gone to self-practice. Well, maybe there is something more
since they sudden become serious with each other because of the duel. Is it
only because of the upcoming duel or there is something more to it? With the
way Atohira look when he mentioned about studying in a different school, it
makes me think that what he is doing is for Kawasumi or maybe to be with Ichi
who, if I recall right, had quit karate? Something like acting the bad guy?
When he told Ichi to let Kawasumi sleep, it seems like he is quite an older
brother to him. Well, even in his advises/teases on Kawasumi regarding his love
life. It turns out that these two aren’t just your ordinary karate jocks but
they are actually very good at it that they have a title/medal in the national
competition. Hm..I wonder if Kawasumi’ll win or lose and how it will affect the
storyline. And, it seems that he is also been enduring a bit regarding Suiren
since he has something that he really wants to do = win this match, and he
doesn’t want to give trouble to her in class..even if the one being pestered is
him. And, we have an excursion coming soon. I wonder if they would have a
secret tryst and enjoy some time together while they are at it...or nothing
much happens. The Ferris Wheel is already hinted so that might happen. I’m not
quite sure over what Kawata suddenly shut up about. Is it about his love life
which might give tips to Kawasumi, or there is something about the theme park
which well, he doesn’t want Kawasumi to know since he might want to do it with
Suiren. For girls to be separated from the boys, I guess their school is really
playing safe so that no hanky-panky is going to happen. And, we have a silly
cute love couple here in the form of Ryousuke and Mina. I wonder if Ryousuke’s
misunderstanding about Koharu would lead to comedy or drama? ^^; Because
Kawasumi mentioned about Suiren being the first he’ll inform if he wins, could
it be that she won’t be in the tournament? Or, she is just late since she isn’t
there yet. It make me think that there might be some more flashbacks in the
next chapter regarding where is Suiren around this time or what she is doing when
Kawasumi is training for the upcoming fight. And, without glasses, cute
Kawasumi becomes good-looking Kawasumi. =P From some of the drawings, it seems
to hint on how he would look like when he’s older. =P Scans by all★wink汉化组

Ithink suiren might not be in the tournament because kawasumi said that he will tell her first if he win.i'm also wonder why he not invite her.
ReplyDeleteabout their situation in the classroom i think he did that because he do care about her but he don't understands how girl supposed to feel about that and suiren is alway quiet.they're baka couple but i think how akward between them is a charm of this manga.
if kawasumi win in the next chapter i guess their relationship will get better but if he lost he will definitly become gloomy that might affect on their relashionship.
i also think kawasumi in this part is quite handsome hehe it's so rare to see him without a glasses i also like cute kawasumi with a glasses but i hope he will take off his glasses more often hahahaha
well,hope there will be some lovey-dovey scene in the next chapter umm..ferris wheel is not a bad idea~
thanks for the summary ^^
True..I'm wondering about that, too.
DeleteTrue. He did what he think is best. She doesn't have complaints so he assumed that it is okay.
Indeed, that seems to be the likely outcome.
That's right..he really looks good there.
Ya..hopefully so ^^ And, I wonder how they will pull it off since fanboys ought to keep a sharp eye on them. Maybe their friends will help ^^
And, thanks for reading ^-^
DeleteThank you for the summary! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading ^-^
DeleteHopefully kawasumi wins the tournament and he looks good without glasses. Thanks for the summary!
ReplyDeleteYa, and thanks for reading, Judy ^-^
DeleteSuiren looked very omnious. I have a feeling Kawasumi will lose next chapter =\
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with you, the fight would be more interesting if they were love rivals lol
It almost doesn't seem fair that Suiren was the only one that had a serious love rival (Koharu), while Kawasumi had none (aside from the annoying fanboys earlier on who he never really saw as a real threat for Suiren's affection). It almost gives it a shounen manga kind if feeling because I think girls who read shoujo tend to enjoy a love triangle involving 2 guys+ 1 girl more than one with 2 girls + 1 guy.
Anyway thanks for the summary!
Is that so.
DeleteTrue. ^^
Hm..maybe later on? Hm..new transfer student? Usually, in couples like this who are really in love types..there are no 'real threat'..like say, the main couple in Kimi ni Todoke.
Thanks for reading ^-^
hmmm with the karate competition and the excursion cming up i feels like things are gng to be more interesting
ReplyDeletehope they get 2 have a really nice moment some time soon.
and i kinda like how kawasumi looks without his glasses on
thnxx alot for the summary
Ya, hopefully ^-^
DeleteHehe, he looks good without them. ^^
Thanks for reading ^-^
I 'm getting irritated with Kawasumi for being so concerned about the fanboys. Seriously. OMG, they don't even talk in class. A glance here and there. * facepalm *
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I think Koharu is checking out Atohira. Didn't they have a " good " conversation before ? It looks like Koharu is being paired with Atohira.
Yup, megaworthit. Actually, I don't think they talk in class before. They just glance and nod. Now, it is more like 'no glance/smile' ..at least, do it secretly.
DeleteYes, she is. And, Koharu doesn't easily give up until the other has a lover..I guess, like in Kawasumi's case.
Thank you so much about the summary I liked this chapter is good to see that manly side of kawasumi with no glasses and please I need some sweet moments with the main couple. Ferris wheel!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading ^-^
DeleteYup and hopefully soon ^^
Thanks Kat! I liked your comments too on this chapter. It has been awhile since Suiren and Kawasumi have felt like a couple (sob). The focus has been Atohira and Kawasumi for a long time, so yea, hope they get some Ferris Wheel time :). I'm also hoping Koharu goes for Atohira. She was annoying going for Kawasumi, but since there isn't competition for Atohira, I hope she gives it her all and stalks him and pursues him as crazily as she did to Kawasumi. It will give the manga some lighthearted feels again.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome ^-^ Thanks~
DeleteYup, and hopefully ^^ Lol..she seems to be going for that.
True, and for this chapter, I think the 'lighthearted' scene is temporarily taken over by Ryousuke and Mina.
