And the results of the borrowers’ race are being announced.
Togyuu, with Yuyuka, is in the last place. Looking at her hand that is being
held by Togyuu, she asks why it has to be her even if it doesn’t matter to her.
He tells her that it is because she has always been avoiding him lately. When
Yuyuka tries to explain, he interrupts by saying that most likely it is because
she wants to think clearly whether her feelings for him is ‘hate’ or that
feeling that is totally opposite of that. Meanwhile, Suzume is running around
and finally finds Mamura who is getting ready for his relay race. She calls out
to him that he asks what it is, all of a sudden. She holds up the head band and
says that it is for him. She tells him that she made it for him, she always
forget to give it to him. She says that even if it isn’t well-made and he’s
okay with it, take it. She thinks that this is something that she solely made
for him so she wants to personally give it to him. Mamura suddenly hugs her and
mutters, “I won’t easily let you go.” His friends are reacting over the public
display of affection on broad daylight. Mamura grabs the head band and says
that he’ll go, and then come back. Suzume was surprised by that and she recalls
herself telling him not to leave her. As the relay race contestants are called
to gather, Shishio is watching them. Back to the Yuyuka, she asks how come
Togyuu wants to know. He says that he only wants to know. Yuyuka tells him not
to think that she’ll just tell him because he asked and she has no obligation
to tell him. Togyuu tries to feel her out by asking if it is the opposite of
hate and it means that, if she doesn’t say. As she protests, Togyuu calmly asks
if she hates him after knowing that he’s poor or she already likes someone
else.
Holding her finger tighter, Togyuu admits to her that until
now, he doesn’t care what other people think but when she started to avoid her,
he became uneasy and hurt, that his brain is filled with all sorts of foolish
thoughts. He slightly smiles at her and asks if he is very foolish. She grips
back his hand and says that it isn’t about him being poor or not, and she doesn’t
have anyone that she likes. She admits to him that the reason why she is
avoiding him the opposite of ‘hate’. She is surprised when he suddenly bows his
head = blushing and steaming. She starts to reprimand him. He says that this is
bad, he’s so happy that he’ll die. Yuyuka blushes and pouts. She mutters, is
that so. The relay race is starting. Suzume returns to her friends. When asked
where she went, she tells them that she just did something. They inform her
that Yuyuka hasn’t come back yet. As they get ready to eat some snack, Suzume
spots Mamura. She is about to call to him until she sees Shishio who is also in
the race. While the others are talking about Shishio joining, flustered Suzume
wonders why it is always like this, always such bad timing. The race starts.
Mamura mutters to Shishio that he won’t lose. Shishio looks at the headband
that Mamura has wrapped around his wrist. Shishio tells Mamura that he had told
Suzume what he truly thinks[/feels] and he also won’t lose. This angers Mamura
and calls him jerk. Shishio says that he doesn’t care what others say or think,
because what he wants, he will go and take[/steal]. “I won’t give her[/give up]
to anyone again.” Mamura says that is his line. The batons are passed. Mamura
grabs his and runs off. Suzume watches as the two guys are running ahead of the
others.
Comment: Shishio
fans shouts, “Steal..steal!!” Mamura fans shouts, “Defense..defense!!” And,
apparently, contrary to what I thought, Mamura isn’t going to easily give
Suzume up. Actually that is good since it shows that Mamura’s feelings for her
are serious which is probably what Suzume meant earlier with ‘do not leave me’ like
what happened with Shishio before or maybe that is just a ‘friend thing’? Based on what Mamura told Suzume, it does seem
that he has sensed Suzume’s uneasiness earlier though I’m not sure if he knows
it is Shishio. Anyway, he is going to fight on. And, that is also what Shishio
is going to do. Wow, he’s getting very brazen. That way of thinking, ‘I don’t
care what others say or think’ for love..it can be good or bad, depends on one’s
own perspective. Here, even if Shishio probably meant about wanting to get her
back that he no longer cares if he’s a teacher going after a student. Hehe,
honestly, the first thing on my mind is, so it’s okay to steal someone else’s
girlfriend? Well, again, as I’ve mentioned, it depends on one’s perspective if
that is okay then, stealing husband/wives are pretty much ‘okay’ with that ‘I
don’t care what others say or think because I want/love’ way of thinking. =P Since
I’m mentioning this, yes, for me, anyone has a boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband
is hands-off. So, Yuyuka and Togyuu’s relationship is making progress but
stopped at the reluctant confession. Nevertheless, it is positive that this
will lead to going steady. Thinking of this, it makes me think that Mamura has
more to ‘lose’ in terms of ‘pairings’ in this series if he didn’t get Suzume.
Shishio still has that visiting ex-girlfriend. Since I think this series will
end with the final choice, if he wasn’t chosen, Mamura ends up with nothing and
he can just join the other ‘good guys’ in Mairunovich. ^^; Maybe a side story
of them having a goukon. Anyway, even if these two guys tried so hard and
everything, it doesn’t really matter because in the end, it relies on Suzume’s
feelings as to whom she currently loves more. And, we’ll probably know the
winner of the race by next week. ^^ Scans by all★wink汉化组

i'm on shioshio side , they broke up because suzume's uncle anyway , it's not like he wanted to , but i feel like she will be with mamura , and mamura is kinda childish just by calling shioshio like that , now i dont like him ヘ(>_<ヘ)
ReplyDeleteTrue, Grun but for me, Shishio could have handled that better than flatly rejecting her on the grounds that he doesn't like her.
DeleteLol, is that so. Just because of that? For me, it took what Shishio did, as mentioned above and 'want to steal girl' to get me to not like him. =P
I'm rooting for Mamura! がんばって! Well, even there is 90% chance that Suzume will end up with Shishio, somehow, I'm still wishing Mamura will get the good end. After all, Shishio is still a teacher and for sure that there'll be too many obstacles for them. It might even end up with Shishio being fired as a teacher. But even so, I do feel bad for the guys who don't have anyone at the end of the series. Huhu. Makes me want to have them to myself. Hahaha. Just kidding!
ReplyDeleteOh well, thanks Kat for the summary. You're really fast! (y)
^^
DeleteHopefully..but at this stage and this is suppose to be ending this year, I think it is nothing or Suzume for Mamura. Unless there is some random girl introduction.
True..but since this is a love triangle series, I don't think we will get to the 'he's teacher and there are many obstacles'. It will end with whoever the girl chooses and I don't think the fans of the other party would still want to read on.
Ya..poor them. Hehe
Thanks for reading ^-^
What exactly are Shishio's intentions? When Shishio said what he said to Mamura, was he only talking about winning the race or getting back Suzume as well? Is Shishio saying that he wants her back or does he just want to honestly pass on his feelings to her and nothing more?
ReplyDeleteI think Shi sensei seriously wants to steal Suz back.
DeleteI'm sure that it is to get Suzume back with that 'I don't care what others say or think' since that isn't related to the race and Mamura is really riled up.
DeleteWhen will the next chapter be released?
ReplyDeleteAnyway I'm on Mamura's side OvO He's a good, really good guy and he cares so much about her. Suzume also shows signs of starting feeling something for Mamura too!
The next chapter should be out on June 20th in Japan.
DeleteTrue..and, Shishio is out to get her while it is still 'starting to feel something'.
To me, the meaning of this series is: move on. Somewhere out there is a shining star just for you. This star makes you happy and will lead you to some right directions. x).. shishio wants to move on. It doesn't mean to get suzume back. He doesn't want to make his old mistakes again. He just can grow when he starts to move forward and stand for his feelings and thoughts. Same goes for everyone out there. And if it's not suzume, then there will be some other girl out there for him. He needs this progress.
ReplyDeleteI hope, that Suzume doesn't chose. I mean.. she shouldn't pick Mamura.. and she shouldn't pick shishio. If it's not 100%, don't try.
Is that so. True, it is going that direction for Shishio..time will tell if that mistake doesn't cost him big time with Suzume or, he can just not make the same mistake with the next girl.
DeleteWell, indeed, it is better for it to be 100% though this is a love triangle series so things are vague until the end..whether the choice is either of the two. I think it is very rare for it to be a 'no choice' thing.
Tbh, I've always liked Sensei's character, even though I never shipped him with Suzume, I understood why he break things off with her in such a harsh way, he could've been less awful to her, but I think he just tried to do what he thought would be the best for her. But, lately he's being ticking me off, making open advances in someone else's girlfriend, confronting a teenager and rudely proclaiming that he will steal his girlfriend is just a rude and low thing to do, he's not even thinking of Suzume right now, only about his selfish needs, I just feel like his character is taking a turn for the worst, he's is regressing which is really really dissapointing.
ReplyDeleteIs that so. True..that was what he thought, was the best at that time.
DeleteIn a way..ya.
Kat~ which side are you Shizume or Mazume ~? GOOOOO SENSEI ^0^/
DeleteI agree with what you said about sensei....Although, it's been clearly laid out since the beginning, Mamura is a selfless partner, while Shishio is selfish. From the start, Shishio valued his own feelings over Suzume's.
DeleteAnonymous[2], it's Mamura.
DeleteSigh...I know the way he broke up with her is cruel, but right now he is going to cause more pain and reopen the wound he cause. I think he decided to not give her up because it is not "end" for him. I mean he still loves her. Thanks for the summary! <3 Tika
ReplyDeleteTrue, just when she's trying to move on. And, in a way, ya, for him, it is a 'risk' = go for it, might have a chance = no regrets later on.
DeleteThanks for reading, Tika ^-^
I never really liked Sensei's character, I don't hate him, but I don't like him either. Heck, I don't even remotely like teacher-student relationship manga, but then there's Mamura so I stick with this manga. The reason why sensei breaking up with Suzume is justified, so I don't blame him for that. But right now, the direction of his character is being vague. Ever since he found out about Suzume and Mamura, his actions are incomprehensible and somewhat immature. ==
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I'm loving the progress between Togyuu-senpai and Yuyuka~ Thanks again for the recap! :D
Hehe..is that so, shi. ^^
DeleteTrue..he totally 'don't care about what others say or think' anymore.
Ya, that's nice and thanks for reading ^-^
I'm on Mamura's side! I hope she ends up with him! they truly make the cutest couple!
ReplyDeletewell, at least he didn't hurt her! .. that sensei keeps pissing me off >.>
doe! thanks for the summary!
Hopefully ^^ True..though, I'm keeping my expectations low since it might be decided on 'I love *beep* more so I choose him' = being nice doesn't cut it. ^^;
DeleteThanks for reading, Kuroko ^-^
Arghhhhhh!!!! I just don't know what to say. Sensei comes in then Mamura. Then, Sensei. Then, Mamura. Who is it exactly??!! Who is going to end up with her? I hope it turns out fair. Maybe one day she should just wake up and randomly decides to not pick either of them. Argh. I am just soooooo confused.
ReplyDeleteIndeed..because this is a love triangle series. ^^
DeleteLol...ya, or one of the guys suddenly gives up.
I am sooooooooo thankful for your summaries. At this rate, I'll die without them, really. I dun normally like love triangle mangas. But I was just curious and the drawing was nice. But I got hooked on the plot. And...ahem...the guys are adorable too..I can't help it. Now, I just don't know what to do except wait and wait for the update. *sigh*
DeleteWho's side are you on? Just curious. Because I'm starting to think Mamura is the one who really deserves her. Even if Sensei is cute.
DeleteThanks for reading ^-^
DeleteHehe..ya, always waiting for the next update until the end.
Mamura.
Argh!! Why can't Shishio just move on and let Suzume be happy with Mamura? With him keeping her 'distracted' to him just makes her open the wounds of the past. He's the mature one so he must act like one. I'm really hoping Suzume ends up with Mamura. In the collaboration story Hirunaka no Chouchou, Suzume is with Mamura right? And Suiren also said something like good husband to her. I hope the mangaka won't give us false hopes on this haha.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thanks Kat for this summary. Amazing as always.
Ah..indeed, Edj..but then, this is a love triangle series so Shishio won't easily give up and this is his 'chance' while things aren't 'deep' with her and Mamura. Well, maybe he hopes that she still has more feelings for him than Mamura.
DeleteIndeed..I wonder about that.
Thanks for reading and the comment ^-^
I'm rooting for Shishio-sensei.
ReplyDeleteI kinda understand him. He's been thinking about things like his standing as the Teacher, as the Adult, as a friend of suzume's uncle and he's been thinking about Suzume's future. But then again, this guy needs a little push (more like a kick in the back) to realize the things he really care about.
But anyway, I like Shishio after all so I'm going to root for him till the end of HnR. Gambatte, Shishio-kun!
Is that so, Emi. ^^
Deletemamura go! i am rooting for him. he is too nice and selfless.
ReplyDeleteYay! Another Mamura fan!!
Delete=)
DeleteI think it'll probably go along the lines of she picks one but the other one will b who she ends up with in the end.but as to who the final guy is... im not too sure. I personally think both guys need to grow up. Shihio needs to think about Suzume first and leave behind the childish behavior. Mamura on the other hand needs to b a little more assertive in the Romance department. Honestly I hope its a happy ending for all three......
ReplyDeleteHm..isn't that what had already happened..she choose one but got rejected then now.. ^^;
DeleteTrue, final guy can be anyone, Zakiya.xo.
Hehe, pretty much 'become better for Suzume' ^^
Hopefully..though usually..in love triangles, not really a happy ending for the other rival for not getting the girl. Though in this case, Shishio has an ex-girlfriend who seems to still like him.
Aha your right, love triangles are tricky...
DeleteIndeed, Zakiya.xo, and once it has been decided..the series is usually over.
DeleteI'm rooting for mamura coz he is too darn cute when he blushes hahahahhaa!! Though I hv the feeling sensei will win the partneringship. Sigh love this series. Thanks Kat!!
ReplyDeleteSunie chan
Hehe, is that so.
DeleteYou're welcome, Sunie chan ^-^
