Narration: “Basically by just saying the words that one
wants to say, it can be conveyed to the other person. But there are times, that
even if one has confessed, the other party cannot understand its true meaning.
That is also a possibility.” In the classroom, Yuuma exclaims in shock that
everyone is staring at him. Minato says that he’s quite exaggerating. Yuuma
whispers that anyone would be shock upon hearing that. He asks if Minato is going
steady with Ririko and when did she confess. Minato says no, he was the one who
said it. Yuuma is stunned. Minato says that he was the one who confessed. Yuuma
couldn’t believe this that he repeatedly clarifies that it was Minato who
confessed to Ririko. He says that Minato never took the initiative to confess and
what medicine that he ate [that make him act this way]. Minato says that he didn’t
say that he definitely won’t confess, he only felt that it wasn’t necessary. Minato recalls someone saying that after confessing, take advantage of going
steady. Minato mutters that it turns out to be something like this.
![](http://i.imgur.com/y4pgWzM.jpg)
He muses that he was mistaken about himself being the type
of person who’ll wait when the other party comes to stick on him and it is
alright if the person didn’t come to him. Because this time around, he want to
take the first move for he can no longer wait. Minato laughs and says that at
first, he plans for it to be the usual and things go naturally but yesterday,
he has decided on it. He realized that if things go accordingly like that, his feelings
would forever not be conveyed. Rumpling his own hair, Yuuma groans and asks why
he would suddenly go steady right now. [<- Yuuma likes Serina and has kind
of agreed to help her out.] Minato asks what’s up when before, Yuuma obviously
finds it very interesting and would always play matchmaker between them. Slamming
his fist on the table, Yuuma says that this situation and that situation isn’t
the same as before. Serina didn’t tell anyone and suddenly transferred school,
isn’t it because Minato suddenly had a new girlfriend at that time. Imagining
Serina having a tantrum, Minato says that he thinks that it is probably because
she is angry at him. Yuuma couldn’t believe that Minato doesn’t understand. He
asks Minato to temporarily keep this going steady thing a secret.
![](http://i.imgur.com/WdcAdtT.jpg)
Minato says no, for he doesn’t think that he can hide it from
Serina. Yuuma asks him to do it at least during exam period to let Serina
slowly notice it. He asks Minato to give Serina some buffer time to slowly get
used to it. Minato thinks over it. At the supermarket, Ririko asks what they
specially want to eat today. Seeing a poster on temaki sushi [cone-shaped sushi], Minato points to it but Serina exclaims that she wants okonomiyaki [Japanese
savory pancake]. Before Minato can say anything else, Ririko agrees to make
okonomiyaki. Serina is happy about it and Minato isn’t. He asks why Ririko quickly
decided on it and listen to his suggestion or rather, she should first listen
to his suggestion. This make Ririko exclaim if it is no good and doesn’t he like
okonomyaki. Minato says that it isn’t like he is saying that it is no good and
even if he say that.. Minato is gloomy for Ririko prioritized Serina before him
but then if he says that, it seems like he is a kid having a bad temper. While
Serina is looking at some other food, Ririko notices him looking at the poster.
She says that she thinks that even if she knows Minato’s suggestion, but the other
party is Serina and he would let Serina have her way so, she carelessly..
![](http://i.imgur.com/RpzL36o.jpg)
Before he can say something, Ririko bows with hands
together. She apologizes to him for she didn’t think that he really wants to
eat sushi. She tells him that after the exam, she’ll make temaki sushi for him
so will he forgive her. Minato holds her hands and tells her not to apologize to
him for actually, he plans to let Serina have her way. Ririko is freaking out for
he’s too close and what is this situation right now, and by the way, her hands
are being held by.. He tells her that he is angry over a different reason. “--I
really anticipate *smiles* the end of exams.” Ririko blushes really red and
mutters, okay.. Then, Serina pulls Minato’s hand off Ririko and gives Ririko a
basket of fruits. Minato takes the heavy basket from Ririko as he was dragged away
by Serina. While her heart is beating loudly, Ririko says that when they met
today, she told him that she wants a break during exam period for it might conflict
with her studies. Then, he calmly agreed about it when she thought that he
would complain a bit and say, ‘Hmph! No!’ and be a bit disappointed but.. She
looks at her hands and thinks that she never imagined that he would be filled
with anticipation in wanting to eat temaki sushi. She plans to resort to her
special skill to do it. She happily clenches her fist and cannot wait for the
exams to be over.
![](http://i.imgur.com/5xyLtPe.jpg)
In Minato’s place, Serina exclaims that the okonomiyaki is soft
and delicious. Ririko says is that so, that’s great. This surprises Serina that
she looks away and says that it is because she haven’t eaten it before so she couldn’t
confirm if that is the standard taste. Ririko asks Minato how many more will she
make. With sparkles, Minato says he can still eat three more. Ririko asks Serina
if she wants to eat another one. Serina exclaims that she doesn’t have that
much of an appetite but..if it is two pieces, she can eat them. Ririko happily
smiles and says, okay. Later on, Serina notices the two in the kitchen wherein
Ririko is showing Minato how to make the okonomiyaki. She is stunned over Minato
laughing and in a good mood with Ririko. Serina starts complaining of a
stomachache. This made Minato go to her at the sofa where Serina is holding her
stomach. Serina slightly blames the food she ate. This shocks Ririko that she
starts to think of the ingredients that could have given Serina a stomachache.
Ririko watches Minato carries Serina ala princess carry to the room. After putting
her in bed, Minato says that he’ll contact the doctor. She asks if he’ll watch
over her by her side. Minato says yes. Minato notices Ririko by the door. He pats her
head and tells her not to worry, it is alright, it isn’t her fault and this is
a normal thing. He smiles and left. Ririko thinks that she totally doesn’t
worry because..
![](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss46/tatsukida12/rere-17f_zps6c2b4dea.jpg)
Sitting by the bed, Ririko tells Serina that she’s faking her
illness. Serina tries to deny it and tries to blame Ririko that she ended up
like that because of her. While Serina cries that it hurts, Ririko says that it
is useless for while Minato is carrying her, she has seen Serina giggling and
giving her a =P expression. This surprises Serina and says that even if she
giggled, it doesn’t show that her stomach doesn’t hurt. Ririko just stares at
her that Serina cowers and asks if she is going to complain to Minato. Ririko says
that she won’t but she wants her to think things over regarding her influence
on Minato since Minato had asked her before to take care of her [Serina]. This
surprises Serina. Ririko says that she couldn’t help think that Minato really
treasures (and it simply makes her jealous) Serina so, Minato is really worried
about her. She tells Serina that she thinks that it would be better for Serina
not to fake her illness or else, if Minato keeps on being like this, he might..
Serina asks what.. Ririko says that he’ll worried too much that he’ll turn
bald. Then, they both imagine what that is like. Serina exclaims that she
carelessly imagined it. Ririko exclaims, she too. They both laugh. Serina
catches herself doing that so she quickly hides under the blanket. Ririko
smiles and pats her. She says that she’ll be going ahead since she already made
three okonomiyaki so just go ahead and eat. Ririko looks flustered [and guilty?].
![](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss46/tatsukida12/rere-17g_zps9587d100.jpg)
So, as Ririko continues to study for the exams, she thinks
that thinking of it now, how Minato treats Serina makes her jealous and liking Minato
makes her know more and more of the her that she didn’t know before.
Afterwards, she wonders if she’ll get to understand more of her various self.
The bell rings and exams are finally over! Yay! Ririko notices gloomy Towa who
isn’t confident over her exams on the ancient Japanese language [/kanji].
Ririko assures her that it is alright for she can make up her with her modern
Japanese subject. When Towa says that she isn’t confident with her modern
Japanese, Kouichirou tells her that he has seen her modern Japanese and it is
no problem. This puts Towa at ease. Ririko thinks that the mood is good. Thinking
that Minato’s exams are over yesterday, Ririko’s cellphone rings. On an internet messaging
app, Minato asks if it is over. She smiles and writes back that it is over. She
asks if there’s no problem with his meals these past ten days. He says that he barely
[survive it]. She asks if it isn’t late to make temaki sushi. Minato replies for
her to do it. She thinks that even if they bump into each other at the train
station but it has already been ten days when they haven’t seen each other
properly. Then, someone mentions about club activity starting today. Ririko is
shock by this that she has to cancel things with Minato for she has club activity
today, sorry.
![](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss46/tatsukida12/rere-17h_zpsc2b1f200.jpg)
Minato is shock by this but then, he recalls her telling him
that she has joined a cooking club which meets once a week. So, Minato replies,
okay, tomorrow noon then. Leaning by the window, Minato mutters if Ririko is
making him hungry to death. Then, Serina asks him what’s up. He tells her that
Ririko won’t be coming today. Serina tells him to forget that, for there is a
place where she wants to eat. Minato asks what, okonomiyaki again. Serina is
shock. Minato laughs if he guessed it right for it seems that she came to like it
after eating Ririko’s. Serina blushes and tries to deny it. She changes it to
wanting to eat pasta. And upon seeing them, Towa invites himself to their
eating out. And, in the cooking club, the advisor is going to teach them
Italian cuisine. Ririko is surprised that there are many people there and this
is a popular club. Her seatmate is a guy who is happy over this since he can
eat night snack. Then, he calls out to her and asks what is a Macedonia di
Frutta since there is no picture. [<- in Chinese, it is Italian Macedonia.
Since it is a snack-dessert type, it seems to be that. It is a fruit salad.] Ririko
says that it seems to be a sweetened fruit, for it is written that for adults,
white wine or perhaps champagne is added. The guy is gloomy for he thought that
it is a pile of meat. Ririko laughs then wonders how come he knows her [sur]name
when she didn’t introduce herself.
![](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss46/tatsukida12/rere-17i_zpsad21f1d6.jpg)
He looks at her and Ririko thinks that the face is familiar.
Holding out her hand, Ririko says, ..that..? [<- who are you] The guy is
shock for she is asking that when they are classmates. Ririko apologizes and
says that she didn’t know everyone in her class. The guy says that it is
because she leaves home early and the girls are saying that she is always dating
with her boyfriend from Seiou Academy. Ririko is shock over this rumor that she
exclaims that it is the wrong information. He asks if that means the guy isn’t
from Seiou. She says no, he isn’t her boyfriend and they aren’t dating. The guy
exclaims in surprise for the girls have that envious look. He drops the topic
and introduces himself as Nanami Kengo. They shake hands and exchange
greetings, yoroshiku [/I’m under your care]. She is embarrassed when the
teacher mentions about the new members introducing themselves ahead of time
before she [teacher] is able to do that. Soon, everyone is busy cooking and
Ririko is quite happy that everyone is agile in the club and she hopes that
there is someone like that in her house. Then, she exclaims that it stinks.
Kengo apologizes for the garlic going to her side. Then, he recklessly cuts the
onions that are flying over to Ririko. Ririko catches them and asks if he wants
her to cut everything and he help her sauté. He says okay. Ririko realizes that
he isn’t quite skilled. While Kengo is stirring the meat sauce for the
spaghetti, he says that he already turned off the fire and should he remove the
[bay]leaf.
![](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss46/tatsukida12/rere-17j_zpsdc65e563.jpg)
She tells him to wait, she has to put salt and pepper. And,
Kengo flips away the leaf from the sauce. Splat. Later on, while walking up the
stairs with Ririko at the train station, Kengo gloomily says that perhaps, he
isn’t good at cooking. She asks him why he is in the cooking club then. He
tells her that this April, his mother went to the new post where his father is
assigned to and his sister started to be in charge of cooking. It was so bad
that wants to puke that he thought maybe he’ll do it and then, there is this
club- Ririko says is that so, it turns out to be necessary [for him]. Then,
with hands together, Kengo apologizes to her and asks if he really didn’t scald
her. The sauce that he tossed away with the bay leaf landed on Ririko’s apron.
Ririko says that it is alright, for it splashed on her apron and she quickly
rinsed it off. He exclaims if it left a stain and he’ll compensate her. Ririko
tries to refuse for it is just a lottery prize. Kengo insists on it. As Ririko
continues to protest, Kengo says that since it is decided, he must quickly buy
it and luckily, there are sorts of stores in this station’s building. He grabs
her arm and says, let’s go. Ririko protests in futile that it is alright but he
won’t listen to her. She thinks that this person is unyielding. At
this time, on the same train station, they appear. Getting off the train,Yuuma asks where the place
is. Serina exclaims pasta. Minato asks if it is alright that it isn’t okonomiyaki.
Serina exclaims pasta!!

Comment: Well,
this is a feel good series so any new annoying girl/character or rival that
appears, they will just be used to make the couple closer. ^^ Based on what was
mentioned in this chapter, the chances of going steady in the upcoming few
chapters is high. ^^ And well, it seems that Ririko is still somewhat clueless
over Minato’s confession since she is mistaking it for a plain ‘like’. Ririko’s
kindness is winning over always interrupting annoying Serina. Hopefully, she
won’t cause too much annoyance if those two become steady. But then, since she
transferred school after Minato got a girlfriend before, I guess she isn’t the
type who’ll interfere when the relationship is already at that stage. As for
the new guy, potential love rival, I’m not too sure if he will court Ririko but
of course, he will be good enough to make Minato become jealous. ^^ Scans by all★wink汉化组

thanks for the summary...
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, zephyrus ^-^
DeleteThank you for deciding to translate this series, Kat ^^! (btw, the name of the male lead is read as Minato instead of Sou) I really love this Rere Hello; it's one of my favorites :). It's really rare to see such refreshing female lead like Ririko. She's not overly dense and assuming. Although she did fail to see that she was confessed to, her reason for not thinking so is not an annoying one. It's kind of funny how Minato is the only one thinking that they are going out lol. It's mutual love but a one-sided relationship. But seeing how direct Minato is, I think it won't be long before they actually go steady (you know, like mutual acknowledgement of going steady since Minato already thinks that they are a couple now). Serina is still annoying as always, but I think she's starting to realize that Minato is in love with Ririko. I also think that she's starting to like Ririko though she doesn't want to admit it. And of course, just like any other shoujo manga, there comes the new guy! Even though it would be nice to see Minato jealous, I hope that that guy won't be too involved in the story because I just love MinatoxRiriko tandem and having that guy too involved might lessen the focus on the main couple
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, michiru ^-^
DeleteOh..thanks for the correction ^^ Hehe, I interchanged it. ^^;;
Indeed, it is nice for Ririko to be like that ^^ Ya, I guess she didn't expect him to like her, too, in that way. ^^; Yup, I think they will go steady soon.
As for Serina, I think she knows but she is still in denial. Yup, she is starting to like Ririko.
True..that tend to happen with a 'new guy'. So, let's hope the couple won't be derailed.
yaay! thank you for Rere hello's summary! ❤ ❤ all this time I tried to guess from the picture only, I'm glad you pick this series!
ReplyDeletethis manga is so relaxed, from ch 1-11 the only problem i guess sou angry because ririko didn't come to cook for him :P but thank god there's a progress in their relationship
Thanks for reading, day ^-^
DeleteYup ^^ Hehe, true.
The name of the male lead is Suou Minato (he's usually called as Minato). :) I've been giggling at their progress.. i wonder how will he react once he sees Ririko "cheating" on him.. lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing it out. ^^ I thought Minato is the surname. ^^;;
DeleteTrue ^^
I love Rere hello, but ever since that Serina appeared , the chapters have been annoying me like heck. Seriously. I'm getting sick and tired of serina being so clingy to Minato and minato just allowing her to cling.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that another guy appeared. Minato keeps an album of pictures of his exes and fan girls and they are over a hundred. Minato seems to be such a pleasant, nice , and kind guy, but it's in his nature to look at pretty girls, just like how he stared at her pretty ex when he saw her at an event.
True, megaworthit, she's quite annoying but thankfully, not too much of a hindrance which is usually the case in other shoujos.
DeleteSlightly playboy type?
Just to get things straight, it's not that Minato keeps an album of pictures of his exes and fangirls or anything. In the japanese raws it was said that it was a graduation album. The translator's group kinda got it wrong. As for the other pictures, those are just some random pictures years ago. I think his fangirls and/or exes just happens to be there and I don't think there's anything wrong about keeping pictures like that since those might be pictures of some class gathering/event or something. Plus, it's not like it was said that all those pictures are Minato's, some of them might be Yuuma's. As for the staring at his pretty ex part, he was just musing how he used to go out with the "pretty girls" type and how Ririko is different from his exes NOT because she's not pretty or anything (he didn't say anything about that) but because she makes weird faces which for Minato are expressions that he doesn't really hate. He even finds Ririko's smiling face cute :). Indeed, he dated pretty girls before but to say that it's his nature to look at pretty girls is kinda off considering that he seems to enjoy looking at Ririko more than looking at pretty girls (I mean, he was thinking of her even if he was just a few meters away from that pretty ex of his, right?)
DeleteOh..is that so, michiru.
DeleteActually, I think I had fast browse this part ^^; I don't recall it. ^^;;
The pictures part is in chapter 7 while the ex part is in chapter 9 :).
DeleteIt's a graduation album? Well, that's fine then. It wasn't indicated and we just read Ririko being flabbergasted. She was like, " oh, that's over a hundred girls." Or something like that. And we always see him and Yuuma walking with 2 girls .
DeleteKat, I don't think he's the playboy type, but he does seem to get attracted to pretty girls. I understand that. He's an atrractive guy himself, so yeah, birds of the same feather , and all that, you know?
I just want to have Ririko to have fanboys herself, and have Minato sweat a little and be unsure about a girl for the first time.
Thanks for the info, michiru ^-^
DeleteYup, megaworthit, Ririko assumed that those are all his girlfriends but Yuuma mentioned that he included the ones chasing after him.
DeleteI see..well, I thought he was a playboy if he keeps albums of his exes and fangirls..as if collecting them ^^;;
Hehe..true, well, this kind of scenario usually happens in shoujo. Usually only one of the couple is the popular one.
Oh, yes, we all assumed too, and when I read it myself , I was like, " Waaah, really ?" He he
DeleteThat's what I thought, too. If it was graduation album, why was the younger Serina there, too, and the pictures with her and Minato at a party were private events. So, I thought, whoa, he's keeping pictures of girls.
Anyway, his style is he lets a relationship flow naturally, but with Ririko, this is the first time he forces the issue.
That's right, megaworthit, it is different this time around with Ririko.
DeleteWait wait wait. In what chapter Suo confessed? Oh my! I didn't notice. Though I know that he likes Riri in the early chapters but I didn't know he actually confessed.
ReplyDeleteHe confesed in chapter 16 :). He said that he likes Ririko and asked Ririko if she likes him. Ririko, thinking that Minato's 'like' is different from hers (Minato said it offhandedly so it kinda looks like he means that he like her as a friend or something) shyly said that she does like him. So even if Minato did connfess, Ririko didn't know that he did
DeleteYup, Hannah, just like what michiru mentioned. ^^
DeleteOooohhh.... Thanks...
DeleteOooohhh.... Thanks...
Deletethanku for the summary katchan!!! i think his name is minato and not sou
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, aoi ^-^
DeleteThanks for the info ^^
Thanks for your summaries as always, Kat. ReRe Hello is currently one of my favorites! I was happily surprised to see this on your blog! Usually rich boy/poor girl romcoms aren't as entertaining, but I love how Minato has a part-time job. It's so cute. I hope that Yuuma and Serina end up together so that one obstacle goes down. Now for the newest male character... Can't wait to see Minato react to them together at the station! XD - miepanda
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, miepanda ^-^
DeleteIndeed..and in this case, they aren't in the same school ^^ That is pretty rare.
Yup ^^
Thanks for deciding to summarise this manga, Kat! I'm not really a fan of this mangaka's previous series. I found the main characters were often annoying in a way; however, I enjoyed ReRe Hello a lot! I agreed with Michiru that Ririko is quite adorable, not too dense, nor too weak. I'm really glad I gave this manga a short. So thanks again to summarise this manga since I'd been quite impatient to wait for English translation version for a while, you really saved me!
ReplyDeleteI kinda understand why Ririko mistook Minato's confession as a simple praising since the beginning Minato has always been kind to everyone, not just her, also after the stalker situation which the girl misinterpreted his act and he himself said that it's annoying if a girl would misunderstand his kindness as a flirting! So it's amusing to see that this time Minato was actually in a relationship one-sided. I'm waiting to see 'how' and 'when' they both will eventually understand each other and if it'lll happen in a next chapter as you said, that would be great!
It's true that Serina's quite a nuisance..but she doesn't really bother me that much. I guess because as you said that Serina is actually brought Ririko and Minato close to each other, so it's fine.
As for Minato, he's not bad himself but...I'm kinda rooting for a new rival guy more than him. haha Since Minato has always been a hot guy and never is short of girls. He never really worked hard for a relationship, neither really was passionate in love. So I think it'd be more interesting that for once he'd be in a reversed position and likewise for Ririko! After all her hard works, I think she deserved a little treat ;-)
Thanks for reading ^-^ Is that so..I haven't read her previous one. ^^; Yup, I agree, Ririko is indeed like that.
DeleteThat's right ^^ Of course, it also goes vice-versa, he is being nice and acting 'differently' with her, and she thinks that he is only being kind. Yup..^^
True..in a way a 'good' nuisance.
I see ^^ True..
