Junjou Drop - Final Chapter
 
The chapter opens with Akai giving Saki a hug while sitting on the park bench. Saki can't believe that after she gave him chocolates for Valentine's Day, in return he tells her "I love you". They pull apart. Saki blushes a little as Akai looks at her. She stutters as she asks him what was that just now. Akai tells her that it's his response. Saki stares back in shock while thinking that she and Akai now have mutual feelings for each other. At school, her friends are surprised and want to know if it's for real. Saki says that it is and wonders if Akai is a returnee from overseas since he didn't seem very Japanese (because he told her "I love you" in English). Her friends are confused by that statement but are happy for her. They tell her that she did well and her efforts paid off. Saki thanks them with a big smile. Suddenly the door opens and Akai walks in with an extremently mean look on his face. As he walks through the classroom, everyone shrinks away from him. Concerned, Saki asks him if something is wrong. He tells her that his older sister was admitted to the hospital. Saki is surprised so he explains that his sister was admitted early because she will be giving birth soon. He tells her that there doesn't appear to be any complications right now but... he's still worried. Saki tries to make him feel better by saying that his sister is healthy and will have a healthly baby. She continues to try and cheer him up by saying that to get ready for this day, he helped out his sister and did his best to take care of Kokona, so it will definitely turn out fine. Akai asks her if she really thinks that and she says that she does. She tells him that they should go shopping together to get a congratulatory gift because she wants to buy something for his sister. Akai replies that she is a really great person. He smiles and thanks her, saying that he feels calmer now. Saki smiles back. Saki notices two girls looking at them in shock. The girls mention that it's the first time they've seen Akai smile. Saki tells them that he's not scary and Ran-chan announces that he is Saki's boyfriend as of yesterday. The two girls are surprised. Saki says that he's not her boyfriend but Ran-chan asks if she's sure about that.
 
After school, Saki and Akai are walking together. She asks him if he's going to the preschool to pick up Kokona. He says that he is. Saki realizes that she left her cell phone back at the classroom, so she tells him to go ahead first. Akai says that it's fine and he will wait for her. Saki looks a little stunned. As she walks through the school, she wonders if he really is her boyfriend now and if it's okay for her to be his girlfriend. She stops and notices Aoyama lying on the ground in a steak costume (T/N: this guy is quite strange). She asks him if he's practicing to be a piece of meat but he tells her that he fell down and couldn't get back up. Saki helps him up and tells him that he's a good piece of meat. He agrees and says that he's sirloin. Then he tells her he heard rumors that she and Akai are going out. Saki blushes and says that she thinks they are. He tells her he's relieved because after her confession, he was a little concerned that he had hurt her. Saki tries to protest, but Aoyama continues to talk. He tells her that he's glad and that even though Akai looks scary, he's a good guy. Saki is surprised that Aoyama also thinks that, so he tells her that Akai has helped him many times (when he was in costume). The scene changes to Akai. He notices that a guy dropped his books and walks over to help him. The guy is a little flustered as Akai hands him the books. Switching back to Aoyama and Saki, Aoyama tells her soon everyone will notice that Akai is kind. Saki gives Aoyama a big smile and agrees. Saki asks Aoyama, calling him "Nikuyama", if things are going well with the person he likes. He corrects her and she apologizes and tells him that she's thinking about meat. He tells her that he confessed and got an okay. He said that he wasn't planning on it but got a push from Saki, so he thinks it was good that he received a confession from her. Suddenly a fierce-looking girl shouts at Aoyama to hurry up and stop goofing off. He apologizes to her. Then he leans over to Saki and whispers that girl is the person he likes. Saki is surprised. He tells Saki that he's going back to his club activities. Saki smiles as she watches them walk away, arguing, and wishes the best for Aoyama. She returns back to where Akai is waiting. 
 
Saki, Akai, Masaki, and Kokona are walking together. Masaki is talking about the babies, twins, and that Kokona will have two sisters. Saki thinks to herself that now her rivals (for Akai's affection) have increased. Suddenly Sayama appears calling out to Akai, "aniki!!". Confused, Saki asks Akai if that's his younger brother. Akai says that it's not. Sayama introduces himself to Saki and says that he is Akai's disciple. Akai tells him that he didn't agree to take him on as his disciple but Sayama isn't discouraged. Sayama then asks Saki if everything went well and if she is Akai's girlfriend. Surprised, Saki doesn't know how to respond as she glances over at Akai. Akai wants to know if she's opposed to being introduced as his girlfriend. She responds that it's not the case at all. So Akai turns to Sayama and starts to introduce her as his girlfriend, but Sayama jumps in and interrupts, confirming that she is Akai's girlfriend. Masaki and Kokona are surprised and want to know when that happened. Sayama notices them and thinks that they are Saki and Akai's kids so they have to correct him. Sayama tells Akai that he's glad to run into them since he has something to give Akai... tickets to a live show. He wants both Akai and Saki to go. Sayama says that he's in a band and both Saki and Akai think that's cool and want to go see him perform. Sayama tells them that he will be waiting as he walks off. Saki says that they should go and he agrees. The kids pip up and ask if it's a date. Saki blushes as the kids continue to talk about the date. Akai tells them that it's fine to go on a date with his girlfriend. Saki gives him a big smile and thinks that it's great and she's happy. She bows and says, "please treat me well" and Akai responds back, "same here". The two kids tell them to get along well and both Saki and Akai look a little embarrassed. Saki thinks that she glad she met Akai and fell in love with him.
 
Saki and Akai are on their date. Saki remembers that they should buy a gift to celebrate the twins' birth, so they stop by a store to look at baby items. After shopping, they stop in at the live house. It's extremely noisy and Akai doesn't see Sayama yet. Saki can't remember what the name of Sayama's band is, so Akai tells her that it's, "Nyan Nyan". Then "Nyan Nyan Festival" appears on stage as girls dressed up with cat ears and tails. They tell the audience to dance along with them. Saki looks shocked and both she and Akai wonder if that is Sayama's band. Afterwards, Sayama is thrilled to see Akai and Saki. Akai tells him that he was kind of surprised and Saki says that it was amazing. Sayama says that it's really embarrassing but that he's glad that Akai was able to see him perform because the group is disbanding. Akai wants to know why. Sayama responds that it's disgusting, but Saki disagrees. She thought it was fun. Sayama says that hardly anyone has said that and all they do is bring down the crowd. Akai asks him if he doesn't want to perform. Sayama is confused by Akai's question, so Akai asks him again if he likes to perform. Sayama replies back that of course he does. Dancing is really fun and he loves doing the choreography. Akai says that Sayama looked like he was having fun and that he could tell just by watching him that Sayama likes performing. Akai goes on to say that Sayama shined brightly on stage and that's something only he can do. Akai encourages him to keep performing and someday, everyone will notice. Sayama is moved and starts to tear up. Embarrassed, Akai feels that maybe he said too much, but Sayama happily thanks him. Sayama says that he actually wanted to continue performing but no one told him that he should. Now he has the courage to go on. Akai tells him that he's glad while Saki smiles. Sayama says that he will do his best and Akai tells him to try hard and he will come and watch Sayama perform again. Saki thinks that Akai is a person who makes everyone happy. It's the end of their date and Akai drops Saki off at her house. She thanks him for the date and tells him that it was fun. He agrees and says that he will see her at school. She gives him a big smile and waves goodbye while thinking that he's a very kind person.
 
At school the next day, a guy approaches Akai. Akai looks up from his desk wondering what he wants. The guy thanks Akai for helping him with his books the other day and says that he was concerned since he hadn't thanked Akai yet. Akai tells him that it's nothing to worry about. The guy continues talking to Akai, telling him that he really thinks Akai's blond hair looks cool. Akai thanks him and says that he dyed it blond because Kokona told him to do it. The guy is confused about who Kokona is, so Akai says that he will show him a picture. Saki, watching the two of them talk, thinks that even though Akai looks a little scary and is a bit of a Lolicon* (*someone who’s interested in little girls)... she doesn't finish her thought though because Akai receives a message on his phone and starts crying. The other guy is shocked and doesn't know what to do. Akai looks up at Saki, calling her name. Saki is worried and asks him what's wrong. He tries to answer, but only says "B..". "B?", asks Saki. With tears streaming down his face, he shows her his phone. There's a picture of the twins. He tells her that they're born, twin girls!! Saki congratulates him and he thanks her. The other guy also congratulates him and Akai grabs his hands and tells him thanks. Saki says, "Happy birthday!!" as their classmates clap. Akai rubs his eyes, looking a little embarrassed. He's the guy I love, thinks Saki with a big smile.
 
At the park, Masaki and Kokona announce that they will be getting married. Both Saki and Akai are stunned and want to know what are they talking about. Masaki says that they just decided it a little while ago. Kokona says "yeah" and gives Masaki a promise kiss on the cheek. Akai is shocked and shouts her name, wanting to know what is she doing. Masaki tells Akai that since Saki is now his girlfriend, it's okay. right. With a disgruntled look, Akai struggles to reply back and then slumps down, saying reluctantly that it's fine. Masaki turns to Saki and asks about her promise kiss. Saki says, "huh?" Masaki tells her the promise kiss for Akai. Blushing, Saki replies that she hasn't done that and what's he saying. So Kokona says that she will give Akai a promise kiss and kisses him on the cheek. Saki is shocked and can't say anything. Akai looks over at Kokona, blushing, while Kokona giggles. Jealous, Saki has a determined look on her face. She leans over and gives Akai a kiss on his other cheek. Akai looks over at her with a stunned expression on his face, while Saki gives him an embarrassed smile. Both Saki and Akai's faces are completely red. Laughing, Masaki tells them that Akai's face is red and Kokona says that Saki's is too. The story ends with Saki hoping that they will be together always.

Maximum throbbing, love is not-stop!!


Already enamored with a guy who's the most clueless!!


A white paper about the uneasiness of teenage love.


Junjou Drop - Chapter 3
The chapter opens with Kokona showing Akai two drawings, one of herself and one of Akai. She asks Akai to draw something too. He tells her that he's bad at drawing but she doesn't mind. Akai seems thoughtful and ends up drawing a picture of a girl's face. Kokona recognizes the drawing and says that it's Masaki's sister, Saki. Akai appears a little surprised that Kokona got it right. Kokona smiles at him and says she heard that Saki told him that she likes him. Kokona's mom happens to overhear that as she walks by and is shocked. Kokona's mom asks Akai if that's really true and he replies, "...yeah." She wants to know what his response was. He says that he told Saki he understood. Kokona's mom is confused by that answer, so he explains that it's because Saki asked him not to forget. Kokona's mom wants to know what else he said and Akai is confused by that. She then asks him if he's an idiot. Surprised, Kokona questions if Akai really is an idiot as Akai looks perturbed. Walking to school, Akai wonders if he is an idiot. Saki is talking to her friends when she notices him. She gives him a big smile and tells him good morning. He responds back. Her friends watch the two of them interact and wonder what's going on, are they dating? Saki tells them that isn't the case. Right now she's fine with the fact that he knows she likes him and she will try her best to get him to like her. Meanwhile, Akai thinks to himself that it would be best if he could give some kind of answer back to Saki.


Saki and Akai are sitting on the park bench. Masaki asks for a piece of candy and Saki gets one for him. She asks if Kokona want one too, which Kokona does. While Akai is thinking about what kind of answer to give her, Saki turns to him and asks if he also wants candy. He does, so she hands him a piece. He thinks that until now, he has never been liked by a girl and has never been given candy either. He's not sure what to do in this current situation. He puts the candy into his mouth, chews it, and then makes a sour face. Both Saki and Akai look at each other and say "sour". The candy is lemon-flavored. Akai doesn't know what to do but he knows that it's not about having sour faces together. At school, Akai is standing near a vase of flowers. He looks over as the door opens and it's Saki who exclaims that he showed up early for school today. He asks if those are flowers from her family's shop and she concurs. She just changed out the flowers and came back with a napkin to wipe the water that had spilled. As she wipes the water, she accidently bumps the vase and it starts to wobble. Both Saki and Akai look startled. They both grab for the vase and end up touching hands. Saki blushes and apologizes. Akai tells her that it's fine. He remembers that the first time he talked to Saki was also in the classroom during the morning. He recalls Saki bumping into and spilling water all over him. He watches as Aoyama walks by with friends and thinks about how Saki fell in love with Aoyama's good character. He then wonders if choosing him next is a good thing and what made her decide on him.
Akai stops walking and notices that a guy is getting harrassed by two other guys. The guy looks frightened and keeps apologizing to the other guys. Akai tells one of the mean guys that the other guy apologized already so isn't it enough. The mean guy shouts back that the other guy stepped on his foot and it really hurts. The scared guy apologizes again. The mean guy wants to know who Akai is. With a scary face, Akai tell him his name. The two mean guys are frightened and run off. The scared guy is dazzled and calls out to Akai, "aniki, aniki" (slang for big brother). Akai responds that he's not his big brother. The guy says it's a spirit/mind thing and he asks Akai if it's alright to call him that. He profusely thanks Akai for saving him. He tells Akai to let him know if there's anything that he can do to help. Akai tells him that he does have something to ask. They go to the roof to talk. The guy tells Akai that he's popular, getting a confession. Akai says that he's not and he's troubled about how to respond. The guy asks if Akai likes Saki but Akai isn't sure what to say. The guy tells Akai it's not good for a guy to be puzzled and he should just say, "I love you!" and give her a big hug. With his arms crossed, Akai looks thoughtful as he thinks "I love you, huh." He sees Saki talking to classmates, smiling, and helping others out. He feels that Saki is a good person. He overhears a girl asking Saki if she used to by a delinquent. Saki laughs and says, "yes" but the girl doesn't believe her. Akai knows that because of him, strange rumors like that were said about her, but it doesn't bother her. Back in the classroom, it's English lesson. As the class drones on, Saki starts to look a little sleepy. Then all of a sudden, she nods off and hits her head on the desk. Startled, she sits up with a gasp. The teacher smirks at her and tells her, good morning. Embarrassed, Saki touches her head and giggles. She then turns her head, sees Akai looking at her, and is mortified. Akai thinks that Saki is also very interesting.


Saki and Akai are sitting on the park bench again. Saki is covering her face and saying that she's so embarrassed. Akai tells her not to worry about it. Saki replies back that she's worried about showing something like that in front of the person she loves. She gasps and realizes that she just said "the person I love". She hangs her head in embarrassment. Akai is speechless at first but then asks her why she says that about him. Saki looks surprised. She explains that she's slow, simple, and has no merits, and she doesn't really like herself that way so she's been wanting to change. So she boldly confessed to Aoyama, only to be rejected. At that time, if Akai hadn't encouraged her, she feels that she would have lost more confidence in herself and would have hated herself more. But thanks to him, she started to fall in love with him and because she could tell him properly, she's now starting to like herself. Saki smiles as she tells Akai that because of him, she was able to change and that's why she loves him. Akai remains silently as he looks at her, so Saki gets a little flustered and says, "...I guess", "Uh...", and "Ha ha". Akai starts to say her name, but Saki jumps up, tells him that she's going to play with the kids, and dashes off. Akai watches her and thinks that he really didn't do anything special, but he also realizes that Saki really is happy being with him.


At school, Sayama (the guy who Akai saved) calls out "Aniki!" to Akai. Akai reminds Sayama that he is not Sayama's big brother. Sayama wants to know if things are going well with Saki. He asks Akai if he told her "I love you!" and hugged her yet. Akai responds that he hasn't yet, but he knows the reason why she loves him and it was very appreciated. Sayama thinks that Akai is unexpectedly earnest. Akai wonders about the words, "I love you." There was a girl who he was kind of interested in, but he made her cry just by looking at her. He turns and stares at Saki. She notices and gives him a big smile. He continues thinking about the words, "I love you." as they walk together to pick up the kids. At the preschool, Kokona has tears in her eyes and looks very upset. Akai asks her what's wrong and the teacher answers that she got into an argument with a friend. Kokona cries out that Mari-chan wouldn't lend her a picture book. Akai then asks what does she want to do about the park and Kokona shouts that she just wants to go home. Masaki is surprised. Saki tells him to just endure it for today. Saki and Masaki tell Kokona goodbye, but Kokona is too upset to respond. Akai, carrying Kokona, looks over at them and apologizes. Saki smiles and tells him, "It's okay, see you tomorrow." Masaki is a little upset. As Saki and Masaki walk home, Saki mentions that it's unusual to see Kokona crying since she's always so happy. Then Saki's phone rings. It's her mom asking if Saki can buy shoyu. Saki tells her that they will pick it up and return home soon. Akai, still carrying Kokona, suggests that they go and buy some ice cream, but Kokona doesn't want any. Kokona has her head on Akai's shoulder and looks glum. Akai thinks that the words "I love you" and Kokona being an angel are not the same. He realizes that it's not the time to be thinking about that.


Suddenly he hears someone running towards them. It's Saki and she looks frantic. When he asks her what's wrong, she wants to know if he's seen Masaki. He hasn't and wonders where Masaki went. Saki says that Masaki disappeared while she was talking on the phone. Akai asks if Masaki went home already but Saki says that he didn't because she called their house. Akai asks about the park, but Saki says that he didn't go there either. Worried, Saki starts to cry and wonders what to do. Akai tells her to remain calm because Masaki couldn't have gone that far yet. He puts Kokona down and says that he will help search. Kokona says that she will too. They call Masaki's name, but no answer. They can't find him anywhere. Saki sighs and starts to cry. Akai looks concerned and begins to reach out to comfort her. But then, suddenly Masaki appears and is happy to see Kokona. Saki shouts his name. Confused, Masaki replies, "Yes, that's me. My name is Masaki." Saki angrily tries to ask him where he went, but Masaki turns to Kokona and gives her a flower. Kokona is happy to receive it. Akai squats down to ask Masaki what he was doing because Saki was really worried about him. Masaki answers that he was looking for a flower. He says that he thought about giving one to Kokona since she was crying. Saki thumps him on the head and yells at him that he should have told her about it first. Masaki replied that she was on the phone though. Saki shouts back that they could have gone home to get flowers (they own a flower shop) after she was done talking. Shocked, Masaki realizes that they have a lot of flowers at home. Saki calls him an idiot a few times as she calls home. Masaki looks up at her with tears in his eyes. He turns to Akai and explains that he was just trying to make Kokona happy since she was crying. He says that when they gave her flowers on her birthday, she was so happy so he wanted to make her smile again. Akai pats Masaki on the head and thanks him. Akai tells Masaki that Saki is just upset because she's worried and Masaki didn't do anything wrong. Masaki asks him if that's really true and Akai replies that it's Masaki's "I love you", so cherish it (T/N: he probably means that Saki is so upset because she loves Masaki). Masaki wants to know what is "I love you". Akai replies that he really doesn't know either but... just now he feels that he's starting to understand a little, as he looks over at Saki who's talking on the phone.


Sitting on the park bench, Saki looks down in embarrassment and apologizes for Masaki causing such a fuss. Akai tells her it's okay and that Masaki is a good kid. Saki says no and that she also really caused a fuss. Akai says "Not really...". Then Saki exclaims, "Oh...." and startles Akai. She rummages through her bag, saying that it's just the right time even though it wasn't a good thing that happened earlier. Akai wants to know what's going on so suddenly. She pulls out a decorative sack and tells him that today is Valentine's Day so she hopes he will accept it. Surprised, Akai says, "chocolate." He looks at her and asks if it's okay to receive it. Embarrassed she says that if he's not opposed to it... He tells her that he accepts and thanks her. Saki asks if he likes sweet things and he says that he likes them better than sour things. Saki laughs and says "that's good". Akai looks over at her. He thinks that towards the person who's always by his side smiling for him, he wants to protect her happy face. He reaches out and grabs Saki, giving her a big hug. Saki is stunned. Akai feels that's his "I love you" and he tells her, "I love you" as Saki thinks, "What!!?"
