AHR 23 Chinese + Translation + Summary

11/8/2012

65 Comments

 
Sorry guys, no translation this time (Nooo, there is a tranlation, yay!). But feel free to share any sumamry/spoiler you can provide and I'll update them in this post ;)
This twist is annoying as hell. How Sakisaka Io will solve this unnecessary and forced mess, is beyond my imagination. I have the most tragical weeks of the year now, so my mind will be busy with other important stuff at least *sigh*
Gonna try to make some updates soon, btw. Sorry for the sloooow pace! End of the year, student life is killing me D:
Take care C:

Minchi

Edit: Thanks to Cindy (<3) we got a full translation of the chapter. Thank you very much!
And also, thanks fromthedepths, we really appreciate your help too!! :) No wI'm gonna kiss you, guys ~  Ok. NOT. :'D

Summary's under the cut ;)

Posted HERE by 小野猫战队★PscForce
Thanks to fromthedepths:

I can provide some limited summary, but a lot of this is too difficult for me to understand, much less translate.

Starting at the first flashback, the teacher introduces Kou as Mabuchi Kou and says he's a transfer student. One of his classmates calls him "Mabuchi" but Kou doesn't respond and the classmate jokes around saying like "You're so dumb you don't even know your own name hahaha" and then asks why he transferred at this random time of year. Kou is being awkward and then Narumi breaks into the conversation. I think she says like "Isn't it because of a divorce? Then you're the same as me!"

More conversation happens, I think she probably explains that it might be hard for him to get used to being called Mabuchi and then one of the guys asks what he wants to be called then and Kou suggests Kou-chan (while blushing on page 8) and so the guy calls him Kou-chan.

Kou runs after Narumi and says something like "thanks for just now" and she says "thanks for what? haha" and then the rest is too hard for me, lol. 

Back to the present, Narumi says she's sorry and it's gotten late. Then Kou says "Is that so? I'll take you home." She thanks him.

Yuuri calls out to Futaba and Shuuko asks about Kou. Futaba says he was with Narumi-san. Murao is like "did you talk with him properly?" 

I am not sure about this, but I think Touma tries to defend Futaba not saying anything, and then Yuuri gets mad (saying that Futaba shouldn't have fled in that situation and instead made everything clear). On page 15, Shuuko is like "how long are you going to keep holding her arm?" and I can't understand the rest. On the next page Yuuri starts to get suspicious of Touma and she pulls Futaba and Shuuko aside for a private talk.

This part is confusing for me, but I *think* the Aya/Shuuko interaction is the following. Aya is talking about how he feels bad he didn't do more since he is Kou's best friend... and then he is like oh~ but I am supposed to be more cool in front of you, forget about this. And then Shuuko says something about how she got to see a new face of his so he shouldn't feel bad...? Obviously, something like that that gives Aya hope.

Skip some more to the next flashback. The gist of this is Kou asks Narumi how she can always seem so cheerful or w/e even when dealing with hard stuff.

Present: Kou asks Futaba what she's doing. Futaba asks if Kou was together with Narumi up until now. He says he was. She asks "About Narumi... do you..." but then she realizes that isn't what she really needs to ask. She thinks that she doesn't know what Kou is thinking at all. Flashback to something Yuuri said. 

She grabs Kou and asks him why he kissed her. She thinks "Because I like you. Just that one sentence. I just want him to say that one sentence."

He says it was because of the atmosphere or w/e.

She thinks "So he's an idiot?" then something else. Kou says he's sorry. I don't really understand this next part at all, but I read on the aoharaido tumbler chat box that she is like... thinking that he's a bad liar and she'll wait for him or w/e because he must have something important going on or w/e (ughhhhhhhh).

Okay so in this next part I *think* Kou is like talking about how Futaba cries a lot or w/e. Then he thinks "but this time I made her cry" and then he thinks about how today was the first time he saw Narumi cry.

Continuation of the flashback where Kou asks her how she can always seem so cheery. She says "Well when I'm at home I cry all the time! So I manage!"

And then Kou thinks about how now she doesn't have a home where she can cry anymore. And then he basically says that he's going to have to be that for her now. AND HE RIPS HIS NOTEBOOK just to be extra dramatic, I suppose.

Please feel free to fill in the holes, anyone else!

hmmm...i can't understand a thing but there was so much happening in the drawing..so muddled up and severely contorted..i was kinda excited about this chapter but it left me kinda empty/disappointed after seeing it..this story is so complicated already that i can't keep up with all this bumps and turns...
it's like i'm having appetizer,entree,main course and pudding all at once..it's so difficult to digest all the stuffs that are happening...

I totally agree with you! Io Sakisaka-sama should make things go lighter in the next chapter instead of throwing all kinds of problems at once. I mean it should go more like... Cookies and Coffee, Crackers and Cheese, Milk and Cornflakes... well, you see where I'm going? ^^;
I was very disappointed as well, I mean... Sakisaka-sama should make things go right, atleast once... I was very happy when I read chapter 21! I thought they might've had a chance to become boyfriend and girlfriend... but NO! Something has to go wrong (Somehow it's Yui Narumi's fault-.-) but I also feel sorry for her, she's a very peachy girl and cute as well, she doesn't deserve the suffering but still, as Kou said: "She doesn't say things without a reason". So, she told Futaba about the kiss on purpose!! b!tch... >_>

I thought this was the munchy type shoujo, a light-hearted one with some drama, a lot comedy and some spice/riot/upheaval,etc...the one that you can have to cheer you up when you have a bad day or something like that..the one that you will go back to every now and then for a good dose of sweet/squishy feeling..but with the last few chapters it been, i don't know, so heavy that it makes me think that i can't go on reading this anymore...

Thanks for the raws and thanks for the summary fromthedepths.

I've seen elsewhere all the Touma this and Touma that. IMO he isn't any better than Kou. He's a got a manipulated side to him and normally is only thinking of himself.

The whole past flashback and now Kou's doing what he's doing because of that reminds me of what's probably going to happen in Bokura wa Itsumo with Haruna and his step-sister?

I agree. It's disappointing how the characters are all written with little thought, just there to fill stereotypical shoujo roles. I feel that Sakisaka has little love for these characters. Look at how poorly she added Narumi's flashbacks in this chapter. Just so we could feel sympathy for her (which we absolutely we don't) and to make this arc "believable." I'm really sad because her characterizations (and the interactions) are the reason why I really love(d?) this manga and they're gone now to be replaced by the same old shoujo "twist."

All this trouble for nothing. What a waste. I just don't see how we'll be able to get a satisfying kouxfutaba end for all this.

Well, I think that just because Futaba likes Kou it doesn't mean that Touma should back off. Touma likes Futaba and she's not dating anyone and Kou is all over the place so of course he'd want to throw himself into the fray. He obviously cares about her, and realistically speaking, humans are pretty greedy and selfish people. Look at the condition of our American capitalist society and corporations. That's just me being bitter after all those university sociology classes though xD. Anyway, I don't think Touma is being manipulative, at least not in the context of being the "bad guy". It's obvious from seeing his thoughts on Kou that he thinks he can take way better care of Futaba than him, so I don't think he's just thinking of himself, he's thinking of Futaba's happiness if she chose him, but also being selfish because she knows how he feels, and now we're going in circles... lol. Anyway, the point I'm trying to get to is, life is short.. if you want something badly enough... you'll fight for it, in love or in career choices... this is getting way too serious now lol.

So, I know my opinion of the whole mess is not popular, and I think I'm probably just kinda evil, but I am not *hating* all the drama. I dont root for Narumi, and I think Kou is breaking Fu's heart, and if they'd continue the development with KouxFu, I'd be really happy! But I'm no where near giving up on the story, and I am actually interested in seeing how everyone acts after this mess. Well maybe it's just me, but i still wanted to express my opinions! I am really interested to see how Touma takes this opportunity and to see how Kou's loyalty and willpower stand up even though he's made his decision. I mean, he's already conflicted, so will he be able to commit to Narumi even though he likes Fu, and how will he react to see possible Touma and Fu interaction?

And yeah, I can see how Touma is being selfish... but I think that is part of human nature, and I guess that is the interesting part to me in all of this. Touma's selfish for his love, Futaba is selfish too for her love (though she has been good of course), Narumi is selfish for Kou... Maybe Kou's the only character out of the 4 that isn't selfish?

Same here, Su. I love drama. Not enough drama in MY life anyway. As long as it turns out fine, and the in between isn't too screwed up, I'll accept it.

Yess I'm not the only one!! Yeah, that's how I feel too about the ending. I'm pretty sure the end will turn out good, so I'm okay with the drama/journey in between... Unless it's too annoying which it ain't to me. I basically just repeated what you said haha, but it's true.

And THANK YOU so much for translating!!!! Man, I keep wanting to stop reading this manga until they release enough chapters to not be painfully cliffhanged each time... but it's tempting. I haven't read yours yet, but I definitely will when I have more time. Thanks!!

I recommend you opening a new window of this same page before reading my translations. a window showing the scans on the left half of your screen, and a window with the translations on the right half of the screen.

page 1
cover page:
ever since that day....these two are no longer able to "touch" (as in get closer, communicate, stuff like that)

page 2:
futaba: Our eyes obviously met...He obviously heard my voice, turned his head, and saw me.

page 3:
futaba: Why...?
Touma: Yoshioka san...It feels like she's really pitiful
And I thought I could use this chance.
But, it looks like this time, I should let it go
Because this time...

page 4:
Touma (continued): What exactly is going on between Kou and Narumi?
...
Teach: Alright, guys. I have to welcome a new student to our classroom. Mabuchi Kou-kun. He just arrived here. Please help him out in whatever you can guys.

Kou: I wonder if everyone uses the same books...
classmate: hey..where did you transfer from?

page 5:
classmate: Mabuchi!
Kou: Shit! They're not the same..
cm: Mabuchi?
Kou:What should I do before I get the new books...
cm: MABUCHI?
Kou: wa
huh? Oh right, that's me.
cm: How can you not remember your own name...hahaha.
Kou: Ah. yeah.

page 6
cm: why are you transfering this time of the year?
kou: that's..because
cm 2: did your dad get a job transfer?
Kou -- Divorce.. If I say that, the mood will get weird. HE probably won't know how to respond. I don't want to see that either.
Kou: Ah.. There are lots of reasons
cm -- what's with this guy? I even came over to start a conversation with him.
Narumi: Is it cus of your parents' divorce?

page 7
Kou -- What an insensitive person...
Kou: eh. yeah..
Narumi: Me too---
You know, it's not even something that's rare now. I live with my dad, so my last name didn't change. Mabuchi-kun followed mom, right? That's why you're not used to your last name, right?

page 8
cm: whatt, so that's how it is? You could've just said it. No wonder you didn't react to us calling your name. komen komen (sorry)
narumi: Then, how about calling mabuchi-kun "kou-chan" ?
kou: kou-kou chan?
?:kou- channnn
cm: IT's good. It runs better. Kou chan.
Kou: ....

page 9:
Kou: Narumi san. Um...Just now, thank you...
Narumi: HUh? for what?
hehe

page 10:
Narumi: Kou-chan is such a tender person (meaning warm-hearted).
Kou: ?
Narumi: I mean, you worry too much. You didn't how you should say it just now, right?
but, if you used such a vague way of communicating, it will only bother the other person even more.
SO. until you feel that: "Things have already turned out this way, I'll just let it be" I think that you should clearly express yourself.

page 11
This way, neither you nor the other person will get hurt.
Kou -- That's what Narumi once said..
Kou: Ah.. I just followed Narumi chan's advice, that's all.
N: mmhm. IT's so sudden. So many things happened..
Kou -- The reason she talked in that slightly flirty tone back then..It was probably to because she wanted me to notice. She said it was "on purpose.." The thing is, I did notice..

page 12
(words written on her face): "Kou-chan, save me."
Kou -- I pretended to not notice, for the sake of Narumi
Even though I noticed something important, but i chose to "not notice."
N: Sorry, Kou-chan. I 'm calm now.
Kou: really? Then I'll walk you...
N: Thanks.. Ah. I still have to get my bag.
K: I'll go with you.
...
page 13
Yuuri: AH. Futaba
Shuuko: What about Mabuchi?
Futaba: He and Narumi san.....
(words above futaba's head): DEPRESSED
Futaba:...
Touma:...
Yuuri: He and Narumi san......WHat are they doing?
Shuuko: Did you properly talk with him?

page 14
touma: It felt like something we shouldn't intrude, so I brought her back like this.
yuuri: !? Why did you do something like that?
touma: eh.
yuuri: FUTABA TOO!
IF YOU DON'T ASK HIM ANYTHING AGAIN, YOU'LL MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE YOU DID LAST TIME.
futaba & touma ---- we got scolded...

page 15
shuuko: how long are you guys gonna keep holding hands?
touma: huh? oh right.
shuuko: speaking of, why did kikuchi kun chase after her?
futaba: Ah. Yeah, really. Why?
touma: EH.
Before the night festival (not sure what the actual name is) wasn't yoshioka san arguing with mabuchi san or something? Then I just wondered how things are now--------or something. Then I happened to see Yoshioka san run from the school. Then I just, out of reflex...?
futaba: kikuchi kun, could it be that you, towards me..?
sfx: heart throb

page 16
futaba: just joking.
touma: !
futaba: even if i make a joke like this now, I can hardly laugh.
touma --- I'm too hastyyyyyyy. But it definitely seems like I didn't act weird. I'm too clever.
yuuri:................
yuuri: futaba, come over here, i got something to say. Shuuko, come here too!

page 18
shuuko: Is it possible that you are sad?
kominato: murao?
komi: sigh....
I was just thinking...

I was just thinking... I wasn't able to persuade kou in the end.
I'm the only one who was all gung-ho about it. He wasn't able to convey anything to her. what a shocking 180 degree turn. (literally, temperature difference)

page 19
komi: huuuuuuuu. I'm so lame.
shuuko: you're not that lame.
komi: (LIFTS HEAD)..................
.................. ......................
shuuko: what?

page 20
komi: murao by any chance are you saying that I'm very cool
shuuko: i never said anything like that.
komi: RIGHT!
heh heh
shuuko: but this is just the beginning, right?
Why don't you try showing me your cool/handsome side?
komi: wha...

page 21
touma: When a girl is distressed about love, is it okay to seize that chance to win her over?
friend: I don't know if that;s okay or not. But that's what you want to do, right? You answered the question yourself already.
touma -- exactly...

page 22
PA: the night festival is now over.
friend: well, at a time like this. When some guy gets the chance but decides to pretend to be a nice guy....
is something I dislike.
touma: me too.
(tiny words):
friend 2: yahhhhh. perverts. yahhhhhhh.
friend 1: so noisy.
touma: lets go back to the classroom.

page 23
futaba -- The lights are not on in kou's house.
I didn't notice when his bag was gone from the classroom. I thought he came back.
futaba: It took me so much courage, but he's not even here...

page 24
futaba -- is he still.... with narumi san?

page 25
from: narumi
sub: are u on the tram?
thanks for walking me. I had a lot of fun at the festival today~ thanks.

yuuri: huh? kou chan?
kou: ah

page 26
yuuri: we got into different classes in 8th grade, it's been a while since we chatted like this
kou: mhm, yeah
yuuri: both of our parents got the same disease, and got admitted into the same hospital. we have a lot in common, don't we.

page 27:
kou:.................... / how...... / how are you able to say such things with a smile ? / Narumi, you don't care?
n: that's impossible!
/but, if i don't keep lying this way to myself and others, pretending that it's not a big deal, I won't be able to stand living! (I know it sounds like something serious here, but from the text, I think she just means it makes life easier.)

page 28:
kou: even so, sometimes, the pain still gets to be too much to hold back, isn't it? It's impossible to pretend like nothings wrong....

speech bubble: KOU

page 29:
kou: what are you doing?

page 30:
futaba: were you with narumi san just now?
kou: yeah.
futaba: toward narumi san, kou you--

page 31
futaba -- he didn't even turn around.
I've no idea what's going on in kou's mind.
yuuri // If you don't ask anything again, you'll end up making the same mistake

page 32

kou: wa / what are you do--
futa: Why did kou kiss me?

" Because I like you." Only this one sentence. I just want to hear this one sentence..

Kou: Sorry... It was because of the mood...
futaba ----- is... IS HE AN IDIOT?
/ When you show an expression like that, it's so obvious you're lying.
Kou: Sorry.

page 35
futaba --- If you're going to lie, come up with a better one, idiot.
/ speaking of.....don't lie ..... why the heck are you lying at a time like this?

THAT'S

(words on page)
"YOSHIOKA FUTABA"

page 38
Kou: That girl, always crying over the tiniest things..
Does she think that crying can solve this problem?
----- but.. This time, I am the one who made her cry..

It's actually the first time I saw Narumi cry..
She didn't even cry at her grandfather's funeral...

"even so....."

page 39
kou:"There are still times will it's hard to stop the pain, right?"
narumi: When I'm at home, I sometimes cry by myself. So it's fine.

page 40
A place where she can cry by herself (where no one can see her)
is no longer there...
Always trying to bear it
Pretending like nothing's wrong
She kept bearing..
but in the end, she still lost everything..

page 41
(btw, does anyone else think that kou looks exactly like Ren from strobe edge here?)

Even if it's only one place,

Is it wrong to make for her a place where she can cry to her heart's content? ("to her heart's content" is a choice of words I decided to use to better convey his feelings)

PRAISE YOUR LIGHT. I could not understand anything that Touma was saying and now I do and it is w.o.n.d.e.r.f.u.l! Is it wrong that I kind of love that he is willing to go to the dark side to win Futaba over?!

Thank you thank you thank you!

I actually like Touma... he's getting in the way, but I think he has Futaba's happiness in mind. He probably believes he's the one who can make her happier. He's been there so often for her, and he's a really nice guy. Plus he's chasing after Futaba straightforwardly, not deceiving Kou. (Not like that bitch Narumi who's keeping Kou for herself when she knows perfectly well that Futaba and Kou like each other...only a bitch can get in the way of other people's love for her own personal interest)

thanks so much for taking the time to fully translate this depressing chapter for us, Cindy-san! (: I have a better understanding of this chapter but it still left me dissapointed though. I hope things will get better in the next few chapters.
What I still don't get is, why Kou feels that he can't have someone he likes to be there for Narumi? It's really strange in my opinion. or maybe treat the girl he likes better at least. I do get the reason why he wants to help Narumi, but he's being really cruel to Futaba. Don't go giving a girl, who is obviously in love with you, a false hope and breaks her heart right after that just because you notice another girl is more pitiful & alone.
On a happier note, I loved that Aya and Shuuko's little interaction. seriously rooting for them now! go go go~

CORRECTION:
page 26
yuuri: we got into different classes in 8th grade

it's actually 9th grade. Narumi said 3rd year of middle school, but I forgot that schools in Japan and China start middle school in 7th grade.

Cindy thank you so much for your translation! It's terrific!

I just hate the way Kou implies that Futaba is a superflual kind of girl, I mean she's a teenager, and a shy one remember?, she didn't like boys!! daa!! Of course she will be very sensitive over this kiss and over this matter...

Kou is an idiot, it's been very clear that when he needed someone to help him, Futaba did, so why returning just such a lame excuse now?!

I hate this turns of events, really, I don't feel sorry for Narumi because just pretending to be strong doesn't solve the fact either as we all can see, she's crumbleling and so on...

Ugh! I'm exahusted from this plot, I tired of Kou being an insensitive ass... ungrateful idiot. I mean just because Futaba doesn't have a tragic past like him doesn't mean she doesn't mean she's superflual or stupid! I mean she cares, she has suffered too!

I don't know that to think, too much of a superflual drama, this is turning a bit like Bokura Ga Ita kind of plot...

God I totally agree with you. I'm starting to dislike Kou more and more, he is treating futaba as an annoying overly sensitive girl, which she is not, just because she doesn't have a traumatic past. He should show at least some respect for her and explain her the situation, but no, he decides to disregard her completely and behave like an asshole. He needs to fix this soon and I hope futaba doesn't keep chasing after him, that would make her look really pathetic, after all he chose the other girl.

Thank you so much for translating this! fromthedepths and cindy.

I agree with you. I don't like how things now make it look like Futaba's issues back then were nothing big. Being ostrasized/ ignored/ bullied/ badmouthed is NOT a nice thing to experience. Futaba was lonely and had no one back then too. And yeah, she never told anyone about her hard times. I'm really angry and disappointed too v_v

Thanks a ton @fromthedepths and @Cindy oh, and @Minchi too! This chapter is so horrible it's no wonder other translators didn't want to deal with it. At least, I understand better Kou hugging Narumi in front of Futaba, since the girl never cried in public, he was just hiding her, like he did for Futaba in chapter 2 or 3.
But that jerk is so impossibly rude. What's with "she always cries over the tiniest things/ did she think crying would solve this?". He gives her hope, shatters it, steps on her feelings/ has no consideration for them and now he's looking down on her too. He seems to be starting to ignore her to add to the mess.
This has become ridiculously dramatic and Kou is a bigger deception every new chapter :( (Sakisaka Io too) Never thought I'd be this disappointed in AHR </3

it also made me mad when he said, "she always cries over the tiniest things" that was just too horrible. What he did wasn't a "tiny thing" ...at this point he's just messing with her. No mater how strong a girl is, she has her limits.

It's true, this chapter it's upsetting, but I feel like saying Kou is too stupid...He should be able to take care of Futaba and support Narumi at the same time...Instead of that he decides to give up on Futaba.
I undestand that Narumi is pitiful righ now but he wasn't obliged to act like that towards Futaba...Thus I wish Kikuchi takes action just to make suffer Kou as far as he makes suffer Futaba

what happen with her?
She could be mad at someone and now...
Also I thought she know Kou... -.-
How she could expect Kou will tell her, he like her?!

I surprised that I don't really mad at Kou.
He isn't that type of friend who only see you when he need something.
Also I think Futaba should try to understand how everybody feel instead of focusing on yourself

Thank you both for the summary and translation :D I really wanted to know what Touma was saying/thinking
I was always torn between Touma and Kou, but now I'm fully aboard the Touma/Futaba ship! :D He totally deserves her (and vice versa).
I'm sort of wondering if Sakisaka Io might take a different path where Futaba will actually fall in love with Touma - since it's a slice of life manga, and also to stray away from the cliche of them getting close only to have her end up with the main guy anyway.
I really think that it would make a nice change, and be true to it's name 'Youth Ride' ^_^

I KNOW! I really wanted to know what Touma was saying also! Cindy is the bestttttt!

I used to be totally pro-Kou though I loved Touma also, but now I find myself with one foot in each ship! I also really like the contrast in this chapter of Kou doing something nominally noble but ultimately stupid vs Touma doing something ~ignoble (going after a girl in love-distress) but ultimately... awesome?!

I have to admit that although I am not really interested in Kou's slide into martyrdom, I am super interested to see where the story goes with Touma for now. I hope he really goes for it in the next chapter! And I hope Futaba goes back to focusing on herself and her friends and doesn't mope after Kou. :D

This reminds me of " Peach Girls" and "Tonari no Atashi". I loved the plot twist where at the end the main girl chosed the "new guy" over her long time love interest, it was totally refreshing. I really like Kou and Futaba interaction, but he's kinda twisted. For a change, I'd like the main girl to involve her self in ahealthy relationship, especially beacause I really like Futaba and I want the "dark horse" Ando-like-character to win.

if it's reality.. in this situation, i think touma will end up with futaba :D but in typical shoujo, probably kouxfutaba... well, that's why they called it typical shoujo. it is about things that cannot be achieved in reality.. haha

other than that, if kouxfutaba ending... probably, after kou breaks up with narumi (i.e. after all those drama).. the ending would be fulfilling their promises that have been broken twice (that is meeting somewhere *can't remember" during the summer festival) or maybe it's just that now i really want it to be typical shoujo rather than the reality... it just feels very heartbreaking seeing those two currently... i want a kouxfutaba ending... i don't care...

i believe that kou does not realise that he is repeating the same mistake that he did with his mother. he thought he was doing the right thing but actually he didnt ( i mean he was studying for the sake of his mother (that's good) however, he forgot to spent time with her until he knew she was sick. and then he regretted it) the same thing is happening when he thinks that this is the best decision (i.e. to be with narumi) n he puts barriers toward people who are important to him. his problem is about not appreciating what he has. or if he really likes futaba... he should actually explained to futaba why he needed to be with narumi now even though i think it's difficult for a girl to accept it. anyway, as someone else said, this is about youth where people make mistake and grow from the mistakes that they did...

i really hope it will not end as parfait tic... really really hope...

Thanks a lot for the summary and translations!!! You guys are the best! I really hope in the next few chapters Futaba stops going after Kou all the time, not matter the reason he didn't chose her, PERIOD. And if she focuses a bit more in herself, don't know, her friends, her future, things she want to do and make her grow... it would be great. In fact, I'd love if Touma support her (I'm not saying that she goes out with him immediately) in that path to make her easier to forget about Kou, the guy that always made her fell insecure and finally hurt her deeply and willingly...

I'm even more upset with this than the last chapter. I saw a comment that said Touma isn't any better than Kou because he most thinks of himself only. I can't agree with that because he IS better than Kou. I know Kou cares about Narumi and knows he should be there for here, but he had no right after he kissed Futuba. He should have at least given her a explanation. He's being really unfair, and i'm amazed at how two chapters really ruin everything. At this point, I don't even know what the ending is. I really doubt she'll end up with Touma though, his character isn't really meaningful or anything.
I don't HATE Narumi after this chapter, since I understand this isn't her fault anymore. This flashback thing does make me understand her better. But do you know what I do hate? How she's willing to have Kou give up everything, just be there for her, not just in a emotional way, but she wants him to love her too. That's completely selfish, couldn't she feel like a burden?
Futuba is the person that loses the most in this. Kou led her on and then he ditched her for another person, and she hardly knows why and doesn't even know how Kou feels.
Here's what I want (but highly doubt) to happen as a ending:
First, Touma should just tell her how he feels. Then they'll go over about how he knows she doesn't love him but he wants her to be happy and that he wants to be there for her or something. Meanwhile, Kou will be with Narumi, taking care of her, or doing whatever he planned to do to help her. Narumi will feel horrible about making him do this for her. She'll tell she can't stay with him anymore and she feels like a burden. He'll tell her not to go, that she's not and she shouldn't feel that way. Then she'll tell him that she knows he loves Futuba and that he should apologize to her. He'll say he can't leave her but then she'll say he's done a lot for her already. Then he'll leave and go to Futuba. Narumi will sit around with depression but then the doorbell will ring. Her mom or dad will be standing at the door with a guilty expression and they will reconcile. Kou arrives at Futuba's house but finds out she isn't there. She's at the park with Touma, where they were having their conversation. When Kou gets there he briefly wonders why Touma is there. Futuba's surprised when she spots Kou in front of her. Kou shouts his feelings out to her, in front of Touma. Futuba is flustered and doesn't say anything. She doesn't walk to Kou either, she just looks back at Touma. But Touma pushes her to Kou with a sad smile. They start going out, and later on Touma falls for Yuuri or another girl and they start going out too. Then wallah!
I have a amazing imagination. D;
Wow, what a long comment. >///<
That's what I waaant to happen! That's the only way I can see a good ending that solves problems for all the characters, not just the main character.
I just really love this manga, and it's sad how their romance can't really continue until Narumi's problems are fixed. But really, who knows? There might be a twist. She might fall for Touma and know more about him. Although that would throw away all the current chapters and ruin the whole manga because all the memories between Kou and Futuba are gone.. I just hope it ends well. I hope everyone ends up happy.. ):

That is a very happy ending! But I just am not happy with Touma's ending haha. Yeah I admitted that he is selfish in my comment but that was also a reaction to another comment (and I said that he is selfish in the way that he is human, wanting to love who we want to love. but that doesn't mean they are bad. I personally LOVE Touma. He is so awesome.) I'm glad Futaba and Kou still end up together in your idea, but poor Touma, I do not wish for that sad fate! Actually, if that really happens I'm gonna be upset o___o. How can he fight for her this whole time and then give her away to bittersweetly :(. I will be very upset if he turns out to be the guy that loves the girl but in the end "understands" her feelings and even pushes her to the guy she really loves. I think that would be a downgrade to the awesome character that is Touma! Sorry I got really upset to your imagined ending for Touma haha. Okay I should really stop now.

Inspired from reading Kelly's comment (probably right above my comment), I imagined a big twist to this story! So, yes, what if Kou is with Narumi, and he falls out of touch with Futaba. Kou loves Narumi now, but never as he did with Futaba. Narumi feels this inside, too, and it is a strain on their relationship. She is contemplating letting him go. As for Futaba, she and Kou never see each other anymore, and she knows that Touma likes her as he is really serious, but whether they are together or not... I'm not sure. BUT WAIT! This is actually many years later!!! and Kou and Narumi are married! And Kou/Narumi's marriage is breaking because of the unspoken topic of Futaba. And whoa... Narumi unintentionally and sadly repeats her parent's relationship by being in a marriage that ends in divorce. That's really sad - I can't believe I thought of that. Well, Kou goes off and finds Futaba after all these years... will they reconcile??? They're grown though, so for sure Futaba has taught herself to move on, but what now?? Does he even have the right to chase after her? (probably not, but hey, it's up to her)

Bonus idea: Maybe Touma and Futaba are co-workers at this point and he is her very good friend, even though she will always be one of his young loves. (does he still harbor feelings? I don't know. But he has made the decision to be her friend)
Man I cannot find a good ending for Touma. Unless he meets another girl (after Futaba makes it clear that she doesn't see him like that) that is NOT one of the known characters already and she is so awesome and they deserve each other.

This imagined twist/development in the story really grew to have a mind of its own! I even got surprised at what I was writing as I was writing! hahah

Yeah, usually in love stories, the author doesn't make a happy ending for everyone.. ):
Personally, I really love Touma's character. (why is it the other male character is always more likeable than other girl?!) It'd be sad to see Futuba and Kou end up together while Narumi and Touma end up with a sad ending. I don't know why I can't seem to like Narumi. I feel bad for her and all but I still feel like I don't like her. Kou is seriously getting on my nerves, even though he thinks he's doing the right thing. Kou seriously owes her a explanation! You don't go around kissing girls at one point and telling them it was only because of the atmosphere another point. Cereal, why can't he make up his mind? I hope she doesn't wait for him, she seriously deserves better than that.
And yeah, maybe they will drag it on in the later years. Like in Bokura Ga Ita, the love story went on to when they're adults and the girl ended up with person in the beginning. (omg, this manga made me cry so much.) But again, the boy that loved her ended up giving up on her so she could be happy. So he was the Touma character, but I hope Touma doesn't end up like that. Omg, why do all the other characters end up sad and alone? It's not fair!
I wouldn't mind if Futuba and Touma ended up together but it seems really doubtful. I'm really surprised though, it didn't seem like much of a drama at first, but this is a serious twist.
I can't wait for the next update, not giving on this just yet! (:

Yeah I wonder why Narumi isn't that likeable? I do not dislike her though and I do also feel bad for her, it's just that I don't LIKE her ha. i think it is because Sakisaka only shows her to us in situations where she is trying to win Kou from Futaba or in cases where she has a connection with Kou, but we are already rooting for Fu. Even in the happy, innocent flashbacks, I feel like ppl probably thought "What are you doing stealing him he already likes someone!" even back then when they were young. But yeah I think it's just cause we want Kou and Fu to be together, so because we only see Narumi in scenes with Kou, we only have our sense of her as someone trying to take Kou. I don't know if that's a good enough explanation though. I feel like there is a lot more.

Yeah I love Touma! I agree with you about how I'd be okay if he ends up with Fu, but I don't see how that could happen. Just as long as he isn't like, fighting for her and then sadly with a smile tells her to go to Kou. I hate when that happens in stories. Like, fine what's the point if you're just going to push her to him? If you are going to let go of her, just tell her so, but don't tell her to go to him. I just don't like that lol. I don't want him to end up with Yuuri though. I like Yuuri but I don't like them together. I would rather he meet a totally new character, because I just cannot relate him to any of the existing characters besides Futaba.

I have hope that he will somehow find his way back on his feet later on. Maybe he *will* meet someone new :). Honestly though at this point, I don't know what Sakisaka Io is going to give us, but I am still looking forward to more updates! I'm not as crushed as everyone else about the events because I think it'll all be okay in the end.

Well, she left his ex-girlfriend chasing after him but I don't like that. There was a reason they broke up in the first place, i mean, why would she still try. I don't but that's what i'm thinking.

I think futaba failed to seize several moments there (esp after the kiss). She should've said, 'I like you, Kou!', right there and then. And them more lovey-dovey scenes before the unfortunate Narumi Incident. I guess I understand where Narumi comes from. What I don't understand is Kou. His response is set to the extremes. I know I should've expected it since this is going to be a reasonably long series...but THE KISS! Everything was set there. THAT WAS THE MOMENT. Now we'll have to endure at least one volume of distance between Kou and Futaba. *sigh*

If actions speak louder than words...oh well. In Chapter 21, Kou opted to show Futaba his feelings by kissing her full on the lips- which we know didn't turn out well. Instead of believing he did this because of mutual feelings, Futaba entertained the idea that he was going with the flow- and made the mistake of revealing this to him. I think for Kou, "the rule" is that he kisses a girl because he likes her. But for Futaba, who already was in the frame of mind to think of two possible meanings: 1) a guy kisses girl because he likes you or 2) guy kisses girl because the situation called for it/ the mood seemed right...she had to somehow bring up possibility number two. I think it's prudent to not immediately assume a guy has feelings for you when he kisses you- just imagine if she were in the same situation with another guy, wouldn't it be reasonable to think this way? It's best for a girl to keep close watch over her heart and ask these important questions.

However...Kou isn't some random kissed-some-chick-at-a-party-dude...and doesn't think of himself as this type.

You ask yourself why would she doubt him when the events in this manga have been leading to the kiss? Kou believes in their feelings for one another. And Futaba does too (didn't she think Kou was lying to her in Chapter 23?) but she just wasn't careful when she blurted out her uncertainty (which is still valid and reasonable in any relationship despite what reassurance a person may get from the past-- I repeat, "is it love or was he just getting into the moment?" is a sensible question to ask when a guy kisses you). She was weighing the situation while he was assuming she would just know that he was in the moment because he does love her. This is why he might think that she doesn't understand him. While she only wanted a verbal confirmation of his feelings- kissing wasn't the way to go for her. I'm sure he was hurt when she implied that he's a guy who would kiss a girl he doesn't love. It's as if she doesn't know him and has no real connection with him. (Bah, and maybe Narumi gets him more...i.e. "Even Narumi could tell that I like Futaba..maybe I should just not try with Futaba anymore...") Kou was probably tired and disappointed and I think Futaba was shocked because things did not happen in the orderly manner she would have liked- i.e. confession followed by kissing.

I honestly feel for him. He probably thinks he knows more about how to approach Narumi and will have more success with comforting her than pursuing a relationship with Futaba, who seemed to dismiss him. I am not angry with him though, I think he's just feeling this way (disappointed and rejected) for the meantime...His expectation was that they would get together but then gets himself painted as a bad guy, he probably thought: "Do I want to go out with someone who thinks of me this way? She doesn't know me at all." He's tired and doesn't want to explain himself. He's thinking that his lovelife taking a backseat to his friend's sorrow isn't a big deal...and I agree that he sounds like a martyr...but I suppose being a martyr is the only thing he knows how to do well at the moment. He won't stop caring for Narumi even if he prefers Futaba nor would he disregard Narumi if Futaba confesses...It's very possible for him to be Narumi's friend and Futaba's boyfriend at the same time but he might also think that he can't be Futaba's boyfriend if this will hurt Narumi- the person he is trying to shield from more heartache.

Poor Futaba. If she were with Touma she'd have a lighthearted romance...she should be more cheerful...

I've wondered if Sakisaka Io-sensei would go as far as making them boyfriend-girlfriend...though this would just make Futaba look bad if she dumps Touma for Kou later on...so if Io-sensei sticks to a plot with just "moments-that-will-make-Kou-jealous", unless it's a kiss...I don't know what will be enough to get Kou to act.

p.s. Thanks Cindy and fromthedepths for your work! ^_^ I was waiting for scanlations but just had to know what was going on...thanks so much!!
