After the graduation ceremony, Yamato gives Mei small box.
She blushes. Yamato says that it is what they’ve chose during that day on her?
birthday and were made into rings. He tells her that after they were made, he
went to pick them up. He kisses a ring on his finger and says that from today
on, they can wear them openly. “Mei, you’ll also properly wear it right?”
In her bedroom, Mei looks at the ring on her finger. She
recalls that from today on, they’ll be in each other’s care [/yoroshiku]. She
thinks that so far, she had received so many important things. No one knows
that it isn’t a finished product but it belongs only to the two of them.. [<-
referring to the rings?]
Mei kisses her ring. She thinks that it is alright even if from today on, they cannot pass through the same time. There is a scene of Mei meeting with Asami and they took classes about childcare. Honestly speaking, in a wink, spring vacation has already passed. Exam, new training and also different group-types..it had already started a week ago.
All dressed up, Mei tells her mother that she’s going. Her mother happily tells her to make lots of friends and don’t be too gloomy. Mei just sheepishly smiles.

All dressed up, Mei tells her mother that she’s going. Her mother happily tells her to make lots of friends and don’t be too gloomy. Mei just sheepishly smiles.
And on this sunny day, there is the opening ceremony. At a
huge hall, Asami is excited for they borrowed a huge convention for the opening
ceremony. She asks Mei if everyone here are new students, are they all in the
[social] welfare course and are everyone very nice. Mei just says ya.
Mei feels very nervous but then, she thinks that everyone
here also has that kind of feeling. Everyone looks quite enthusiastic. But for
her, at the very start, once she stepped through the school’s gate, she seems
to have returned to her past self who just entered high school but then, it
seems that she isn’t the only one.
Flashback: Sitting Mei is very quiet with another girl.
Asami asked what is it and does she feel unwell. The two girls said no. Asami
happily said is that so, then, let’s be friends. She offered her hand to the
other girl. End flashback. So, it is thanks to Asami. The girl asks Mei if
Asami is always like that. Mei says ya..her mood is always high.. Mei thinks
that she got a friend? called Hano [guesswork from 羽野] and is this alright?
After high school graduation, she always felt that
everything is progressing disorderly. She wonders how Yamato is doing. She
messages Yamato that the opening ceremony has ended and she is going home.
Yamato thinks that it has been three days since they saw each other. He
replies, is that so, and right now, he is on his way to college so after it
ended, can they meet each other and eat out? “I want to see you.” Mei
apologizes for she is going to eat with Asami and a friend whom she got to know
at the school.
This made Yamato depressed as he writes, is that so. Then,
Kenji calls out to him. Kenji is surrounded by girls and a few guys. Kenji
tells Yamato that he was talking to them at the side just now and everyone are
new students like them. The girls are all gaga over Kenji’s handsome friend.
Yamato looks uneasy. He mutters to Kenji that he is still
like that. Kenji says that it is his forte to be able to have a good
relationship with people he met for the first time. Yamato is surprised when
Kenji told him to karaoke with them after the ceremony and this is to establish
good relationships. And one of the girls is blushing at Yamato.
Mei thinks that with different surroundings, the things that
she doesn’t know increases. At a fast food restaurant, while eating a
hamburger, Hano comments that it has been a long time since she ate meat. This
puzzles the two. They ask why and is she a vegetarian. Hano says no, it is
because the one she is with only eats vegetables and she’ll also only eat
vegetables.
Hano tells them that it is also good for the body so it is
also okay to be like that. Mei asks if she is co-living with someone. Asami
asks if it is a boyfriend. Hano laughs and asks how is it possible for it is
just her pet lizard and it’s so cute. The two girls’ smile froze. Hano says
that it is actually as cute as Ariana Grande.
Asami asks if she is talking about a desert lizard. Hano
says that child looks like an alien from afar and it’s so cute~~~ The two are
speechless. Hano tells them that when she was young, she likes reptiles and
even if she had someone she likes, there are many people who cannot accept it
so indeed, it is inevitable.
Actually, her friends also feel very disgusted so when she
started having a pet lizard, she doesn’t have friends coming over to her house.
But kids really like insects and lizards so she usually can immediately get
close with them. Since she is usually in contact with kids, she thought that
having this kind of work is not bad at all so she chose the welfare course. “I
like kids but I couldn’t get along with adults and people with the same age as
I.”
Mei thinks that even if the reason isn’t the same with hers,
but Hano is also searching for her own place, avoiding the things that one
isn’t good at, naïve and without guilt, clinging on to one’s very small
persistence. Mei tells Hano that she would want to see her lizard next time and
even if she cannot touch insects but if it is touching a lizard then perhaps,
something will change.
Mei thinks that it is a pleasure to see Nano like that. Nano
blushes and says okay. Asami says that she will too..if it doesn’t bite.. While
they happily eat together, Mei thinks that their goal is the same and if they
can acknowledge the other, then they can strive hard together.
Meanwhile, Kenji is happily singing karaoke with his new
friends. One of the girls is watching Yamato. Then, Yamato excuses himself to
go to the toilet. Just when Yamato is returning to the room, he finds the girl
about to light up a cigarette. Yamato apologizes for seeing that. The girl asks
why he is apologizing when she is already past 21 years old, she is 22 this
year. Yamato asks is that so.
The girl says yes, she wanted to come out for some air. She
asks him if they can chat for a while. After a pause, Yamato says okay. She
introduces herself as Sasaki Natsuki [guesswork from 佐佐木奈月]. She asks his name. After he tells her, she laughs
for his name is interesting[/meaningful] and it is very rare. She asks if he
has a girlfriend. This surprises him that he says, ah. She says that is really
boring yet she thinks that he is very handsome.
Natsuki asks if his girlfriend didn’t go to the same
college. He says that it is because their goal isn’t the same. She wants to
become a childcare worker. And lately, he likes photography so he thinks that
one day, he can use photography as a profession even if it isn’t the same with
her [Mei] reality.
Natsuki asks isn’t this very good and it is very important
to take advantage of that kind of thinking now. “Are you a recent graduate?
You’re still so young.” Yamato says that isn’t she also very young. Natsuki
says that by age, she is older but she still..until now, she still haven’t
found anything. Whether it is something she likes or something she wants to do,
she always couldn’t find it. Still beintg like that, she arrived here now [at
this time].
During high school, she had no purpose and was confused that
she quit school during the first year. Every day, her brain would think of an
idle freedom. Starting from that year of doing nothing, she suddenly realized
that she is always free and the people around are not free. Everyone had
already decided their own future and basically, didn’t pay attention to her.
It’s too cunning. So, together with other confused and purposeless people, they
became good kids and smoothly graduate high school.
But..she really doesn’t have anything at all..she wanted to
at least have a high school graduation certificate so she went to school as a
four year part-time student. She got in college with thoughts that anyway, she’ll
simply graduate college then become highly successful. It would be okay if she
had thought of what she wanted to do while in college.
Even if she cannot deny that, she just walked ahead here based
on her emotions. Compared to not doing anything, it is somewhat of an action
and it would be good if she’ll succeed. So, it is very amazing for Yamato to simply
have a clear-cut goal. Natsuki says
that she had a lot of photo stickers. Yamato says that is taking a picture of
herself.
Natsuki laughs and says that’s true. She asks if he brought
some pictures. He says that he didn’t bring them. Natsuki smiles and tells him
to let her see some pictures next time. Yamato slightly smiles and says okay.
At Mei’s room, her cellphone rings. It is a message from lizard’s Ha. She is
puzzled then Hano writes that it is her. She greets Mei a good evening and
thanks her for today. With a picture of a lizard, Hano says that this lizard is
called Dede [guesswork from 泥泥]. For some reason, Mei thinks of Emperor Pedro[?]
Mei asks why Dede. Hano says that it is because it is mud
color [泥巴]
and it is pitiful to call it ‘mud’ so she called it Dede..and speaking of that.
Hano puts up a picture of Dede kissing a cat. Hano says that it is in such a
good relationship with her cat. After looking shocked by it, Mei says that it
is amazing and she even has a pet cat. Mei thinks that in the end, she still
likes cats.
Afterwards, Yamato messages her that he’s back home. Mei
welcomes him back. She apologizes for today and where did he go today. He asks
if he can call her. She says okay. Mei answers her ringing phone. She is
puzzled when Yamato says, “Ah~~ It’s Mei’s voice~~~ I’m back..I’m back home.”
It is already 10:25pm. Mei asks him what the matter is for it feels like he is
very strange.
Lying on the bed, Yamato says that it is nothing..and what’s..strange~~..
Mei asks if he is drunk. Yamato says yes, a bit. He already said that he doesn’t
want..and even if he said that, but~~ Kenji..he..ah..his head hurts.. Mei asks
if he is alright. Yamato mutters, ya.. He asks if her opening ceremony is also
today. She says yes. He asks if it is okay. She says yes. He asks if she is
happy during dinner. She says yes. Mei asks him if college is fun. Yamato says
yes, it is super fun!
Feeling something is wrong, Mei wonders what’s going on. Mei
says is that so, then that’s great. He says ya. She wonders if he is properly
listening to what she’s saying and obviously they are totally talking like the
usual. Yamato says, “But, in the end, I still hate it that I cannot see your
face, Mei. I like you.” Mei blushes yet she wonders if he is okay.
Comment: And, it
seems that Mei’s woman instinct that something is wrong, is ringing but she
doesn’t know yet why. The rival is the opposite of Mei for she is very vocal
and mature. As a character, Natsuki is interesting and somehow realistic for
there are indeed people who doesn’t know what to do with their lives even when
they are already in college.
Of course, the problem here is, she’ll probably
know it after meeting Yamato. And it might be Yamato whom she wants. Mei’s new
friend is somewhat reclusive. It will indeed be hard to find people to
understand and like her for having a ‘strange’ pet. She’ll easily fit in Mei’s
group. So, let’s see how these two will influence the two’s lives. And, it does
seem that Yamato terribly misses Mei. Scans by 离境汉化组

Thanks for the summary
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, karina ^-^
DeleteI just want to you know about this Kat.
ReplyDeletethe girl with Yamato is annoying to me hahahah lol
if you want to pick up this series again, I want to drop it XD
because it's dragging too much for me.
Ai
Hehe, is that so, Ai.
DeleteWell, I think it has a lot of potential conflicts since the problems in high school isn't the same with college like drinking, long distance relationships, etc...or perhaps, unplanned pregnancy due to a one night stand? =P
And, I did drop summarizing it because of the twins and nothing much happening on their third year. ^^;
Thank you KAt. They are lovely to be together
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, hazellhassan ^-^
DeleteKattt, oh my.. thank you kat for translating this manga again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, Sabatini ^-^
Deletei personally love this manga and am really happy you've started up this manga again.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kat!!!!
You're welcome ^-^
DeleteUm...did Megumi and Angelo ever get together? Manga Panda released the 52nd chapter and the last thing I saw was Angelo asking Megumi out for dinner.
ReplyDeleteI think so, Michelle. They are living together and iirc, I think she said that she is her boyfriend to the others. I don't quite remember. ^^;
DeleteHey! Will you be translating the next chapters after this? What is the latest chapter? It fucking annoys me that he still sleeps with other women even when he has a girlfriend but I love this manga either way.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, no, Narcisco. I lost interest in it again ^^;
DeleteThe one in Chinese is chapter 68. I'm not sure about the current Japanese one.
^^
Also! Did you do chapters 53-current chapters? If not where could I find something to tell me about what happened. I can't speak Japanese so I can't read them.... Please help!! I really want to read what happens...
ReplyDeleteNope, Narciso. Only 61-62.
DeleteWhat happened to the main couple? Well, Yamato still continue to help Natsuki and went out to buy camera, iirc, on the day when Mei couldn't go out with him. I think it was Aiko who saw those two together which broke Mei's heart.
After lots of crying and consoling with friends, Mei calls Yamato when Natsuki tries to interrupt which comes out like don't bother with your gf. So, that is the only time when Yamato finally told Natsuki off that he is only helping her as a club member but not Natsuki herself. So, Natsuki immediately disappear from the club and the series. Then, the two make up, made love and continue on pursuing their respective careers.
The other chapters are mostly about Megumi. I think she caught Angelo two-timing her so they break up. Then, she starts to 'fade' as a model and end up doing odd jobs in Paris. She is jealous of Rin who is the 'hot item' in Paris. The last part is, she saw a piece of paper inside the doll keychain that Kai gave her.
For Asami, there is a bit of problem with her relationship with Kenji who is always with girls in college but they immediately patch things up.
Aiko is currently pregnant and seems to be planning to get married. That led to a bit of 'wanting to be family'-type of thinking from the main couple.
Basically, that's it.

Hope that helps ^^
Omg!! Thank you so much!! This really made my day! I've been searching all night and now I can finally rest XD
DeleteSo basically, Yamato still hasn't learned his lesson about hanging out with other girls? I also heard he gets drunk and makes out with some old lady? What's that about? Anyway.... Thanks for telling me they're wanting to "be a family" guess now it makes sense for the author to write the ending in volume 18th (this coming summer). Thanks again! Also I can't read Chinese ;-;
You're welcome, Narcisco ^^ Glad to hear that ^^
DeleteYup. Unfortunately, I had skipped chapters ^^; I started checking this out again during the college arc. The only time he was drunk was during the first year meeting and he 'lost' his ring. ^^; So, if it happened, that might be while they were in high school?
Yup. Everyone is pretty much 'okay' except for Megumi.
