At a fast food restaurant, while looking at his cellphone
and eating some French Fries, Shou asks Yuki when she is going to tell him her
apartment’s address. About to eat her hamburger, Yuki says next time. Shou says
isn’t it strange that the boyfriend doesn’t know his girlfriend’s address.
Yuki says no, because he seems to be the type who’ll just go
to someone’s house without permission. And, by the way, the competition will
start soon so he also doesn't have time to hang out in her house. He says that
if he wins, then she won’t say anything anymore. She asks if he wins the
competition, no, about that..how can she say it..
Shou tells her that they play jakenpon. Shou wins with
scissors against Yuki’s paper. So, Yuki gives him a drawn map of her apartment’s
address which is near a supermarket and the train station. She even put notes
like he isn’t allowed to come without prior notice, he cannot come on Monday,
Wednesday and Sunday when the possibility of her sisters coming is high, and he
isn’t allowed to come without any reason.
Narration: “Granny who’s in Heaven, time flies that it is
already April. There are times when my boyfriend, who is younger than me, still
presses on at every step that it gives me such a headache. Even though, all
sorts of things had happened-- Starting from today on, I’m a college student.” The
opening ceremony of Osaki University has just ended.
While holding some papers, Yuki thinks that it seems that
the new student orientation meeting will start at 3pm. Since she has two more
hours to go, she plans to look around the classroom first. Her cellphone beeps.
It is messages from Shou asking if the opening ceremony is today, congrats and
can he go to her place today. There is an emoticon of a bear staring at her
from the corner.
Yuki thinks that in the end, after failing to persuade Shou (actually
she lost in jakenpon), she told him her apartment’s address. There is a scene
of Shou saying that as much as possible he won’t do it so can he go to her
place right now, and Yuki replied no. Yuki thinks, no, it is also very strange
not to tell him when obviously, they are going steady. But after all, the other
party is still a high school student so she still must maintain an appropriate
distance.
He is from the tennis club and here is a flyer. After Yuki
thanks him for it, he asks if she has time on the day after tomorrow for the
welcome party for the new students... Just then, giving her another flyer, a
glasses guy says no, no, no, compared to that club, Karaoke get-together is 100
times more interesting. A woman holding a flyer for ‘let’s bamboo’, shouts that
their bamboo dance club is bamboo☆banzai [/long live]-!
Just when Yuki is telling them to wait, the others start shoving
their flyers to her. There is a wrestling group that warmly welcomes girls, a
onsen [hot spring] research group that will have a party tomorrow, a lisps
group, and a join to learn how to trampoline so that you can fly around-!! Yuki
can only tell herself that she’ll definitely properly study..stu...
At Ryuhoku’s gym, Shou is busy practicing with the others.
Shou manages to shoot the ball with a jump shot. The ball is in. Girls squeal
that it is 3rd year Shou, and it’s right for them to choose to go to Ryuhoku!
Miyoshi tells the girls who are at the door to pay attention and sorry for the
number one ojisan [/uncle]] has to pass through to get inside.
Inside, he tells everyone that the brimming with youth
applicants who applied for the club has already congregated. Abe and others
look behind to check out their new members. Sparkling and serious, the new
members call out that they’ll be under their care [/yoroshiku]. Himiko says
that a lot of people came this year.
Pointed nose Hatori says that it seems that Ryuhoku’s
reputation had spread far and wide. Shou calls out for them to first observe.
They exclaim, okay. Just then, a tall black haired guy comes in and pats Shou’s
shoulder to ask if he can still join now. Hatori and others are shock that he’s
so tall. [<- he is as tall as Shou] Hatori exclaims if he is a high school
student.
Waving a v-sign, the guy introduces himself as 1-B’s Usami [guesswork
from 宇佐三;
surname] with 185 cm height. The others complain that he’s so tall and
frivolous that can infuriate someone. Usami points at Shou and exclaims that
he’s Shou-senpai, so amazing, it’s the real person, and can he give him an
autograph later on. Shou refuses.
Abe is shock when Noda darkly asks what’s up with that guy,
coming here uninvited. Just then, an overly seriously guy raises his hand and
asks if practice isn’t going to start yet. Usami apologizes to him as a senpai.
The guy angrily shouts that he isn’t a senpai and they are in the same class.
Actually, they are seated in the front and rear of each other. Usami says ah.
The guy shouts what ah, he already introduced himself in
class yesterday! Himiko frantically tells them to quarrel. The guy shouts that
by the way, Usami forgot to return the erase he just lent him. Usami says ugh.
Someone shouts to quickly stop for they are putting Himiko in between them. The
others say that it seems that this year’s first year/s is very annoying.
Shou doesn’t look amused. Narration: “New school term. New
students. New life.” Before climbing up the stairs to her apartment, Yuki’s
paper bag had broken due to the heavy load of the flyers that she is carrying.
She laments that the flyers are quite a lot that her arms are going to break.
While picking up the flyers, she notices a black haired
woman going downstairs. Realizing that she is her neighbor, Yuki greets her and
introduces herself as room 203’s Machida. The woman introduces herself as 202’s
Usami [same with the first year’s 宇佐三]
As the woman leaves, Yuki thinks that their age is almost
the same and it’s great that it feels like she can get along with her.
Narration: “In short, I ought to be able to have a peaceful and quiet life
inside the apartment.” She enters her apartment and calls out that she’s back.
There is only silence. Yuki thinks that she said that, even if there is no one
else is there.
She recalls one of the twins screaming why she didn’t do as
she asked which is for Yuki to take a picture of Shou while he’s changing his
clothes, and Shintaro screaming about killing someone who swapped the DVD
covers. Yuki thinks that it’s too..quiet that it makes her feel uneasy. She suddenly
recalls Shou asking if he can go to her house.
She immediately throws her bag on the bed and thinks, no,
she isn’t a bit lonely and he’s an idiot who’ll make her more distracted than becoming
calm. Her cellphone is ringing. It is Shou. After greeting her good job [otsukaresama],
he asks if she is at home. He says that practice has just ended and a lot of
people applied for the club. Yuki is relieved to hear that.
He asks her how is the opening ceremony. She says that the
club recruiters are quite intense. He asks club, is that those that like to go
out and drink [alcohol] so will she join. She says no, she still hasn’t
considered it. Shou says that’s good then, he’ll be at ease. Yuki wonders
what’s with that, she suddenly felt like wanting to see him.
Then, she overhears a girl screaming, Naruse-senpai! Shou is
walking outside when the first year’ fangirls had him surrounded. They tell him
that they are his fans since junior high, can he give them a picture. Another
girl [Arisa?] shouts that’s too cunning she wants one, too. A girl goes ah~~his
muscle here is so firm. Someone [Arisa?] shouts that didn’t she say that
they’re not allowed to pull his hand!
Then, the phone hangs up. Yuki thinks that he is surrounded
by girls again, huh, and this year’s first year students are really amazing.
Narration: “New life, new school term, I have already experienced all sorts of
things. He also experienced all sorts of things. I know that even if I go and think
of this kind of thing, I cannot do anything about it.”
At school, it is already dismissal so Yuki is putting aside
her book in her bag. She thinks that college life isn’t just studying since
there is also interpersonal relationship club experience. So, at least while
they are separated, she’ll forget about Shou and properly develop her own
knowledge... Just then, Amamiya exclaims that she’s here and it’s such a
coincidence that he saw her so is she free in a while.
Yuki says that she no longer has anything to do today though
she wants to read the ‘search for jobs’ magazine again. Showing a thumbs up,
Amamiya exclaims that’s great, accomplished! Before Yuki can react, he grabs
her arm and starts to pull her along. Yuki exclaims hey..what.. Amamiya says
that it’s great, they said that they are to bring along three women then, it
will be free-! She asks what is!
He shows her a flyer of Osaki’s basketball club. It mentions
about happily playing basketball together and they welcome even those without
experience. And, there is a mention about it being free if there are girls.
Kampai [cheers]-!! In a crowded restaurant where everyone including Amamiya is
busy eating and chatting, Yuki nervously thinks that even if she got dragged
here by Amamiya but she obviously didn’t want to join the basketball club so is
this really okay.
She recalls Shou saying that he’s at ease. She nervously
thinks, wrong, wrong, it isn’t like it is a strange gathering and she isn’t
drinking. It wasn’t easy to get into college so this kind of activity can be
considered as a social practice-- A guy happily greets her a good evening.
After she greeted him back, he asks if she is a first year student and does she
want to join their club.
Yuki says no, it like that isn’t at all. Another guy tells
her that it is interesting for they practice on Monday, Wednesday then drink
during Friday and Saturdays. The guy exclaims to let him say, sorry but he
really super-understands this, you are a S[adist], right? Unfazed Yuki darkly
says no. At the shoe lockers, Shou reads a message from Yuki saying good work
on practice.
She mentions that she got dragged to a welcome party but she’ll
just show up there, and then she’ll go home. Abe calls out to Shou and says
that Hatori called everyone to eat ramen. Looking serious, Shou says that he’ll
pass for today. Back at the restaurant, a glass of drink got spilled on the
table. One of the guys exclaims that didn’t he say that it’s no good for how
can one do the Awa dance in such a narrow place.
Yuki offers to get some towel. A girl happily thanks her.
She asks what else they want to order while she’s on her way. Some says a huge
glass of oolong tea. Someone orders for beer. Someone orders for whiskey.
Someone exclaims that even if he’s older but that girl is like an older sister.
Amamiya says that she’s like that during high school.
While Yuki tells what she needs from the waitress, she
wonders if this kind of experience can really be transformed into a social
experience for it doesn’t seem to have any difference with a high school
gathering. She recalls the time when Shou and Abe were ordering meat for their
yakiniku party. Yuki thinks that today, would Shou be surrounded by those first
year girls again. She nervously thinks no, so she said that even if she goes to
think about that kind of thing, she cannot do anything about it.
On the phone, Yuki is walking around her room while calling
Shou. She thinks that he isn’t answering and it is definitely because she had
ignored him. And to call that many times, he must be already furious. Then,
Shou answers the phone. Yuki apologizes for not noticing his phone call and she
just got home. Shou asks how was the welcome party.
She says no, about that..she thought that she’ll gain
something but in the end, this time around, she didn’t get to do anything... He
asks if parties are done according this way. Yuki says that she also doesn’t
know. Just when she thinks that it isn’t time to think of this, the doorbell
rings. She tells Shou that someone came and it might be her sisters so sorry,
she’ll call him again later...
Yuki opens the door and it is Shou. While she looks
surprised, Shou turns his cellphone off and says that he carelessly came. After
that registers into her brain, Yuki screams what the heck is ‘carelessly came’
and what he is doing. Shou says that it is something he really wants to say.
She wondered what to do for she obviously told this idiot
not to come without permission. She obviously told him not to come without a
reason -—yet she’s so happy. Blushing Yuki tells him that he made her specially
want to see him... This made Shou drop his bag. After the door closes, he
rushes to hug her tight. He says that didn’t he said it before. She asks what.
Shou says that he won’t miss it again so from today on,
he’ll be 100 times more annoying than before. She wonders that in the end, how
many times he wants to remind her of that before he’ll be satisfied. She says
that didn’t she tell him not to come without permission. Shou says that didn’t
she say before that he can hug her without permission.
Yuki wonders if he is acting cute. He asks her if he can
continue on bothering her. Yuki nods. Shou asks if he can call her a lot of
times. Yuki nods twice. Shou asks if he can go to bed with her like this. With
blank eyes, Yuki shakes her head and tells him not to think that’s possible. He
asks her, if he can push her down here. Yuki blushes really red and he suddenly
pushes her down on the floor.
She sits up and angrily asks what he is doing. He says, a
seal. She exclaims, a blood stasis[/hematoma]. He says ah, ya, was there a
senior smoking beside her, that’s super dangerous. He tells her to remember to
tell him when it disappears so that he can make another one. She blushes. He
bites below her neck. Yuki groans and was about to call his name.
Then, suddenly, Usami [neighbor] angrily opens the door and
shouts, “Ha-! It’s really hard to believe-! I won’t go on a group date with a
hairdresser/s again...” Then, she notices casual Shou and shocked Yuki looking
at her while he is midway from giving her a hickey. Usami looks aghast. She
says that she was mistaken about the room. Then, she closes the door. Yuki can
only go...!?...!!? Narration: “Apparently, [this] new life won’t be so
tranquil."
Comment: So, the
series is now about a long distance relationship of a female college student
and a male high school student. Yuki really knows that Shou will come without
notice to her place upon knowing her address. Her issue is understandable since
she wants to focus on studying that is why she was given her own place by her
parents. Of course, realistically, it will be hard to solely concentrate on
that while having a boyfriend.
Regarding the clubs, it doesn’t seem good for her to join
the basketball club since they seem to be into girls because of their condition
to bring girls so that the food/drink? would be free. The amount of time spent
on practice is the same with parties. I’m not sure if Shizuka would want to
join that kind of club. Nevertheless, I think the mangaka had fun with those
kinds of eccentric clubs...do such things really exist in college or is that
just for comedy?
We have two new characters with surnames. I think they are
siblings. The first year seems to be a bit too ‘fresh’/blunt. In a way, his
quarrel with his classmate reminds me of Shou and Shizuka ^^; One is easy-going
while the other is way too serious. How will Shou and the others handle those
two? =P
Now, let’s talk about the neighbor. Most Chinese readers
would wonder if she is the ‘other girl’ or even the ex-girlfriend. If she is,
perhaps the other guy in the last chapter is our ‘other guy’ in this new arc?
Though I think these two might end up together in some way. Actually, it seems
like comedy rather than for them to be rivals for our couple. The two seem to
have bad luck with their love lives. =P
In a way, I can imagine Shou’s sister in this kind of
setting. Instead of Yuki being the senpai, she is now a kouhai with all this seemingly
older new characters including Shou’s sister. The theme might become more
mature too since this is college life for Yuki. So, let’s see how the mangaka
will introduce her to Yuki.
There are also the other guys in college/clubs and the
Shou’s fangirls to deal with. In this chapter, it is noticeable how different
the two handle this kind of issue. For Shou, he’ll get jealous and would want
to put a hickey on her. For Yuki, she’ll think that there’s nothing she can do
about those fangirls so she let it be.
Anyway, things will be awkward the next time Yuki meets with
her neighbor. It will be amusing to see how it happens since Yuki isn’t really
used to that kind of thing. Though, I’m not too sure if Yuki would let that
kind of thing with Shou happen again anytime soon. ^^; Scans by 红莲汉化组

Thanks for the summary!
ReplyDeleteThe mangaka intends to continue Namaikizakari after all... I have such conflicting feelings about this (sigh).
Thanks for reading, Apurva ^-^
DeleteYup. Hm..why?
I think that protracting something messes with the consistency.
Delete(I apologise for the late reply, I had semester exams.)
I see.
DeleteNo worries ^^
Thanks Kat for the summary ^^
ReplyDeleteAmamiya..! I'm happy that the author decides to keep him in the story :) and worried Naruse is cute ^^
Instead of love rival, I would prefer if miss neighbor become Yuki's friend who can help her in love or someone who can advice her in becoming more girlish or ladylike since she looks kinda pretty and stylish here :O
Well let's pray that she is no love rival T.T And yea, I also think that miss neighbor and the junior are siblings.. And maybe Usami-kun will find out about their relationship when visiting his sister O.o
Arghhhh too many question and guesses T.T thanks again Kat for the summary ^^
Thanks for reading, Kika ^-^
DeleteYup ^^
Oh, kind of like Rina? Though I'm not sure if she can help with love issues since she seems to be looking for a boyfriend. ^^; Hehe, unless, she had prior experience = things that one mustn't do-type of lessons.
Yup, that's possible if -kun visits. Or perhaps, when -san goes to their basketball games ^^
=)
I think she will be more of a rival to Shou or at least a road block if the way their first meeting went foreshadowed how their relationship will progress. I don't think he will be a fan of the Usami siblings. (How funny would it be if the guy Yuki saw getting slapped was the older brother?!)
ReplyDeleteAnd I also hope Yuki and her become friends. She doesn't really have any and it would cause Shou to be jealous without an actual love triangle but someone he has to compete with over Yiki's time.
Possible, Carol. It would be very amusing, indeed. And, I was thinking how come the new characters all have black hair with a strong 'first entrance' appearance.
DeleteThat would be interesting, and how he'll handle it.
Hello Kat,
ReplyDeleteI must admit that was a pretty hot, unexpected but welcoming scene. I can almost feel Naruse's frustrations, and also Yuki's loneliness while adjusting to her new life. In such a setting, it would not be hard for the lovers to deepen their relationship. However that new neighbour just might have made things a bit harder especially for Naruse lol.
I like the development of this new chapter; It's gotten more interesting thanks to the siblings.
About Yuki's entry into college, there is no doubt that are so many things that she has missed out in high school such as making friends and unwinding. Hopefully her neighbour will teach her a few things about 'living life'.
I wonder if Yuki will continue being involved in Basketball too.
Thanks so much for the translation x
Hiyo Crimson sky ^^
DeleteIndeed.
Yup...new characters for new developments/personal growth perhaps ^^
Hm..but she has friends, right? In high school, those two girls whom she always hang out during lunch or do you mean much closer friends? Unwinding..can she do it when she kept on thinking about concentrating on studies? It definitely won't be on her own initiative.
Ya, would she still be involved with basketball..with that kind of people in the club?
Thanks for reading ^-^
Long time ....They better make the college part good cause I preferred the high school . Shou definitely will keep his word and disturb Yuki. I would like to see where this goes although I hate new characters .
ReplyDeleteHehe, is that so, Anjali. Actually, it is really rare for shoujo to pass high school so let's see where this goes.
DeleteOh...
hahahaahah... kat i super love this episode..hehhee
ReplyDelete=)
Deletekat...just want to ask..how did you create a bog???
ReplyDeleteDionne, for blogger/blogspot, just sign up for an account. This is owned by google so any other google id ought to work.
DeleteThen, just post things like a journal. Try opening an account to see how things work ^^
woow thanks kat!!.. I think the author want to story to go long, right??..heheehhee.. I just feel that shou will be more intense and jealous one here. I just cant help falling..whahhahhaa.. wish I am yuki..yayayyyy... thanks for replying kat!!!
DeleteNo problem ^^
DeleteYup.
Indeed, most likely.
=)
i am excited what is the role of the new character, the neighbor of yuki.. i hope she will going to be amamiya gf whahhahahaha. so that he will not get lonely..whahhahhha... but its awkward when you discovered couple who are in the middle of loveydovey..whahahahahah...
Deleteheheheheh.. maybe im gonna open blog kat for cosmetic topic. I been ghost writer for how many years already..hahahha so its about that I open my own blog. whahahaahah..
Deletekat just want to ask.. do you summarize the haru matsu bokuro???
DeleteOh..I haven't thought of that, Dionne. Possible especially if they are in the same college.
DeleteIndeed.
Good luck ^^
Nope. I only read a few chapters but I didn't get into the series.
Thanks Kat.
ReplyDeleteBtw can You help me to Summary the opening in ch 50 (I think dubbing proses) and Summary for extra capter no 6. Sorry for my request ( I know you have A lot job).
Thanks D.
You're welcome and sorry no. I don't find that important enough to summarize. It is just random thoughts/reactions regarding the CD dubbing.
DeleteWhat is extra chapter 6? Is it the pov scenes?
This one: http://m.dmzj.com/view/13376/53927.html
Brief summary is here: https://www.blogger.com/profile/05625412560484783992
I like the recommed scanes. But the extra chapter what I mean is this one
Deletehttp://m.dm5.com/m225564
N the opening in ch 50
http://m.dm5.com/m406598
Thanks A lot Kat
D
You're welcome, D ^^
DeleteThat one isn't really important. It is a 'what if' they are all host club members and Yuki is the manager. It turns out to be Abe's dream which Shou says good but Yuki says bad. I didn't translate it because it doesn't have anything to do with the story.
The other one is indeed random thoughts/reactions regarding the CD dubbing. I mean, the reaction of the voice actors about it. Then, ask the voice actors about their cultural festival experience. The lower part is just the mangaka's reaction to how the voice actors acted out the characters.
Sorry, I'm not going to summarize it in detail. ^^;
Its ok. Thanks
DeleteD
Thanks for understanding, D and you're welcome ^-^
DeleteHey long time no see Kat and thanks for this summary (ugh,I so busy in few month cause my work -__- and I just now have a chance for read Namaikizakari chapter 53 in Tatsukida yee ^^)
ReplyDeleteWow I think this new chapter, right because there are some new character and possible conflict after Yuki graduate and goes to college ><
First : The appearance of of new members in Ryuhoku Basketball Club (the guy that introduces himself as 1-B’s Usami do you think he's the same guy with the tall guy in chapter 52 I mean the guy who smiles at Yuki after he slapped a woman? remember?) I still wondering now hehe
Second The appearance beauty woman with surname Usami yeah I think she have siblings with Usami in Basketball Club ^^ This girl is Yuki's Neighbor because she live in 202 Room while Yuki in 203 Room but we still don't know if she is the ‘other girl’ or even the ex-girlfriend. The worst possible she have a chance become new rival because I'm Sure Shou would often come in Yuki's apartement and meet this girl but I hope not!
The last page is my favorite scene, the woman named Usami She says that she was mistaken about the room. Then, she closes the door! haha I think is so funny and I wondering how Shou especially Yuki's reaction in next chapter if they meet this neighbor again ^^
when next chapter (chapter 54) already out? if you guys have information please please tell me thank you >.<
See you next time Kat! ^-^
Hiyo candra ^^
DeleteGambatte on your work and thanks for reading ^-^
Yup.
Nope. 1-B is definitely younger because of his attitude, hairstyle and aura. If they are related, maybe younger brother?
Yup. If she becomes the 'other girl', I think it would have to be on her initiative to cause it or just some misunderstanding. I mean, she witnessed a lovey-dovey of the two so I'm not sure how she is going to get herself involved with the two..unless she is the 'bad type of girl'.
Yuki will definitely be so embarrassed and everything if she saw her again. Shou, I can almost imagine him acting as if nothing had happened =P
Not yet. It will be released on the 20th in Japan.
Until next time ^^
Wow....good chapter. Ah! That neighbour ruined it! Well i guess we are gonna meet a lotta new people soon! Btw i dont remember but who else aside of that glasses guy (ex captain, Shou's Predecessor ) and Amamiya were in the basket ball club? Im specifically talking about Yuki's batch(Those who graduated) .
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update!
Ah i got so busy ..i had exams in the 1st week of November and now again i have exams starting December 5th! Screw this shit! -_- -_- ;_; ;_;
When's the next chapter coming out though?
Toby
Ya, Toby.
DeleteThe ones who graduated are Shouji - spiky guy who finally got a gf, Nishiyama - the guy with hair down who usually hang out with Amamiya. I'm not sure about Kanda - ponytail and the red haired one, Yashiro.
Thanks for reading ^-^
Exams every month?! Good luck!
It is already out. Just waiting for the Chinese scanlation.
I rented a pocket wifi. Aside from translation, it helps with the routes as to which and what to ride. Of course, research ahead of time helps a lot.
DeleteIf in Tokyo, when lost, use google map. =P Trains/bus in Japan are very punctual. So, you can also check what time the bus/train is coming. Actually, more on the bus. Trains are frequent enough.
Speaking of trains, one has to be very careful in riding them. There are rapid express ones which would skip certain stations. Or, in a single rail track, different trains pass by. ^^;
I didn't opt for the sim since I'm not going to call anyone.
Oh i see, Thanks Kat! Thank you very much! Ah exams are from tomorrow! The new chapter is out! Damn! Well ,will be back on 15th. C ya!
DeleteBtw what if that pocket wifi gets outta juice? Can we charge it up with powerbanks?
Toby
No problem and good luck ^^ C you, too ^^
DeleteYes.
When is the next chapter coming out???
ReplyDeleteThanks kat you're awesome
Miyu, it's already out in Japan. I'm just waiting for the Chinese scanlation.
