Manga is unflipped. Always begin reading in upper-right corner, and proceed left and down. ^^

Next page - Back a page - Zetsuai index - Main index

Notes:

1. This page contains another one of my informally educated guesses. "It only lasted a moment." In origional Japanese, this line is: "Isshun kuratsu toki ta...dake." The "kuratsu" and lone "ta" left me clueless. "Kuratsu" is most likely a foreign word, due to it being written in Katakana and not sounding like a normal Japanese word, but I could not find it in any of my sources, nor could I figure out what it could be in English. It might be from French, or German, or some other language that has had words adapted to Japanese use. As for the "ta", I have no idea. "Ta" alone has no meaning that I know of. It could be combined with "toki" to make "tokita", but I could find nothing for that one, either. I seriously doubt it goes with "dake" because the two words are separated by one of Ozaki's beloved .... and "tadake" has no matches anyway.

1 continued. My guess of "It only lasted a moment" is taken from the words I DO know in this line, namely "isshun - a moment, an instant", "toki - time", and "dake - only". Hopefully, close enough!! As always, if you can shed any light on the true meaning of this line, please email me. ^^

2. Serika really does say "futon" here. Usually, western-style beds like Izumi's hospital one in this scene are called "beddo", which is "bed" with a Japanese accent. The only reason I can think for Serika to call it a futon could be because she is distressed about it possibly causing her onii-chan to have bad dreams, so her brain latches on the first word for it that her mind could find. Since she likely learned "futon" before "beddo", there you go. *shrugs* Anyway, I'm not making it up, she really calls it a futon. <:P

3. Izumi's muttered "U...n...fuu" are exactly what he says in Japanese. I usually always leave such mutterings in their Japanese forms, unless a true meaning is obvious.
