Chinese scanlation is recently out here. If you can read Spanish, you can check it out here. I’ll just give a short summary here because maybe, the English scanlation might suddenly come out. ^^;
Kanae arrives at the amusement park. She talks with Kyouko on the phone as to where she is. Kyouko says that she is at some resting area in front of some cafeteria. And, Kanae sees Kyouko frantically waving her arms. Kyouko introduces her to Hirotaka Ogata/Date, Hiroaki’s father. You were right, El4n1 about him. ^^
Kanae pulled Kyouko aside and asks how come she is with him. Kyouko apologizes and says that she has mistaken him for Hiroaki. While Hirotaka is searching something on his cellphone, the two girls are talking about how they looked alike and the two can be mistaken for twin brothers. They estimated him to be around 50 years old and maybe he is a fairy.
゜*☆○o｡..:*･(*´-ω)(ω-`*)･*:..｡o○☆*ﾟ
Hirotaka calls out to Kanae and asks if she was the one who auditioned with Yuki-chan = Kuresaki. Apparently, they are friends...that is what Hirotaka assumes but then they don’t chat much. Hirotaka asks Kyouko about his proposal. Kyouko says that she is okay with it but she doesn’t know about Kanae.
Kyouko explains to Kanae that after she told him that she’s with her on this ‘date’, he wants to know if he can go with them. While Kanae is pondering about this, Kyouko whispers to her that Hirotaka is with a female companion who appears to be an American.
Kyouko brilliantly convinces Kanae by saying that they can learn English this way. So, Kanae immediately agrees to it. Hirotaka thanks them. He says that the woman is very friendly and not shy so there should be no problems for them to get along with each other.
゜*☆○o｡..:*･(*´-ω)(ω-`*)･*:..｡o○☆*ﾟ
Hirotaka says that it is almost time so she should appear soon and perhaps some second-rate food = cheap and delicious, would attract her. Looking at the side, Kyouko calls out to Hirotaka and mentions about a squirrel-type of woman hiding over there while looking at them.
A glasses woman quickly hides behind the tree. Hirotaka says that it is her. He goes and gets her. The girls say that she looks really shy and not that ‘friendly’. After Hirotaka has persuaded her, they go to the girls. He introduces her to the girls as Sarah. The girls introduce themselves. The woman says that she is Sarah Smith.
゜*☆○o｡..:*･(*´-ω)(ω-`*)･*:..｡o○☆*ﾟ
Meanwhile, a couple are busy talking when they are surprised to see Ren and Kana shaking hands. The couple quickly apologizes and runs off. [I’m not sure about their conversation] With a sheepish smile, Kana says if they were thought to be on a date since they are holding hands in the elevator.
Ren doesn’t think much about it. Kana asks how they should cater to them. Ren says that it is over, her feelings are very obvious so let them [Ren and Kana] do it again. She asks if there is a difference that he is the only one here now. Ren says none.
Comment: We have a new character and it is an American. Yes, I really feel that soon, they will be all going to the US. For now, we don’t know what this Sara’s role. Hm...maybe the way for Kyouko to go to US?
From the last part, from the blurb, there was a mention about Ren fake lover something being successful so I guess the two will pretend to be lovers so that Kyouko will be ‘safe’. I hope Kyouko will be informed about this though I’m not sure if that is ah...okay, I mean it is okay with Kyouko. Maybe it is just a temporary thing.

Omg thank you so much for doing the summary again this month ^_^
ReplyDeleteI am assuming Sarah Smith is a fake name, do you suspect that it she is Cedric?
Thanks for reading, El4n1 ^-^
DeleteI don't think so. Isn't Cedric a guy? Though perhaps, you mean he is in disguise? She has freckles on the nose, too? Make-up?
Well, if it is him, it will be interesting turn of events.
yes, I thought he was in disguise with make-up. I was wondering if he had this selfish request that he wants to go there to meet Japanese girls or get familiar with Japan's environment as sort of prep for the movie he is doing next (I was thinking the project with kana is going to be filmed in both US and Japan), so he came to do his research and get familiar with Japan's culture and environment. Also Sarah Smith is obviously a fake name. But maybe I am reading too much into it.
DeleteAh, I see. ^^
DeleteDo you know why a lot of people think that Sarah might be Ren's mother?
DeleteHm...because she is a woman and she's from USA? And, you also think she is in disguise.
DeleteThough if she's the mother...for her to coincidentally/purposely meet Kyouko. Purpose = to check out Kyouko? How did she know? Someone tipped her off that Ren gave Kyouko tickets to that place?
Hm...was his mother an actress, too? I recall she is a model. Hm...is the hairstyle similar? Ah, Sarah seems to like food. Was Ren's mother like that, too...except she's a bad cook?
I'm curious though why there is a focus on her eyes after the two girls introduce themselves.
That's why I thought it is more likely Cedi. The eyes look more like a guy's eyes with makeup. Julie is a top model, one of the best in the world I think and I think Ren used his mother as example to teach Kyoko how to do the catwalk.
DeleteI also think Julie respects Ren's wishes and is waiting patiently watching the video she received from him everyday and not going to Japan.
My thought was sensei was trying to give away that Cedi is in Japan. I think the next big hurdle for Ren/Kuon is Cedi, so if there is going to be a shift towards going to America or a time skip then we need to have some closure with Cedi and then Rick's fiance, so the most likely scenario is to have Cedi show up (who is going to be involved in the project with Kanae in US) than having Ren's mom show up with no hints/preparations.
One more give away is that he/she is with Director Date. He is most likely doing this as a favor to his good friend Yuki Chan, and showing Cedi around.
True, she's a model so I wondered if she is also an actress = disguise. Hm...does the author make specific distinctions between male and female eyes?
DeleteWas that the promise? Wasn't the promise, not to see him? If it is to see Kyouko, I think it is possible. Again, that is if the meeting here isn't a coincidence.
Good point. I'm still wondering if it is okay for someone like him to be cross-dressing as a disguise. I'm also not sure if Date is the type of person who would help out another by lying/collaborating with this kind of plot. For now, I'm still thinking that she is a new character.
There is a slight difference in the eyes.
Deletehmmm, I would not call it a promise but he said I will come to you on my own, so I would assume his mom that has waited all these years would not come to Japan on her own. She could have done so earlier if she wanted to, but she didn't. My thought was the next hurdle in front of Ren is Cedi so its more likely that he is in Japan.
Well for Cedi the only way he can walk around unnoticed is as a woman, since even in disguise he can be recognised due to his fame. I think Date is doing it as a favor to his friend. New character maybe but not Ren's mom. I think it is too obvious that this is not Ren's mom.
I see.
DeleteWell, we'll know more soon enough ^^
Apparently raws are out for new chapter
DeleteThe scanlation is out. Had been busy...keep losing track of the days. ^^;
