TR:
[Because I dyed my hair pink…]

TL:
[I won't go to school.]

MR:
[My naturally red hair…]

MC:
[Instead of dying it black, I thought that my hair and I]
[would just rather be pink.]

ML:
[So, I'm not going to school anymore.]

BR:
Are you going home tomorrow,
Tokio-chan?

BL:
I'll stay over again soon.
Hmph.
Even though you're getting married next month.

Page 07-

TR:
Even when I'm married, I'll still come over…
to see my Nobara, my 'wild rose'.

MR:
Really?

BR:
Yes, so…

TC:
Keep going to school for a while longer.
Your dad's worried about you, right?

BC:
No he's not! He's off galavanting in a foreign country with his woman!

TL:
But I don't care.
As long as he sends me money.

ML:
[Something like school…]
[… is difficult.]

We see each other once a year and still get along as long as there's money.

[It's fine as long as you show up…]

Page 08-

TR:
[They just stuff studying down your throat.]

TC:
[It's fine as long as you follow the rules…]
[You only have to care about your classmates for that one year.]

TL:
[But for the people that can't even do that much…]

BR:
[Why do I have to go out of my way?]
Umm…
So I just have to take this Hairstyle Release form to Kishibe-san's house and have her fill it out, right?
SFX: twitch

BL:
Sorry for the trouble, Kamiogi.
We don't know when or if she'll come back to school.

Page 09-

TR:
Is she really doing alright?

TC:
At this rate, with her attendance record…
Yeah, looks like she may drop out on her own before the second years move up a grade.

TL:
But.
Kishibe's father is a well-known author.
So she doesn't really need to come…

ML:
[Such freedom. I'm rather jealous.]
That's terrible logic!
In any case…

BR:
She either needs to have a parent sign the Hairstyle Release form,
or dye that outlandish red hair back to black before she returns!

BC:
We won't let her through the gates!
… Pass that along, okay?
Okay.
[How weird.]

BL:
[Our school rules forbid dyeing your hair…]
But it's fine as long as you dye it black?

Page 10-

TR:
Oh!

TC:
[Irie-sensei!]

MR:
[How cute! He's playing with the rabbit!]

MC:
Kamiogi!

ML:
Y-yes?
You're going to Kishibe's house, right?
Yes.

BR:
Then, could you
return this potted plant for me?

That's right,
Kishibe-san brought this plant over.

BL:
Sorry to weigh you down…

Since she left it at school, other teachers have been watering it, but…
[A lie.]

Page 11-

MR:
[What a liar.
Irie-sensei is the one that's been taking such care to water the plant each day.]

TC:
… Sensei?
How about you take it to Kishibe-san's house yourself?
Huh?

TL:
W-well
I'm sorta…

I-I don't know where she lives, so…

ML:
Then come with me?
Uuh…

BR:
I've gotta start grading those worksheets!
Sorry, but thanks for the favor!

BC:
Ah!
SFX: spin
You got 100% on last week's physics assignment.
You're doing great, Kamiogi!
I see…

BL:
Irie-chan…
I bet you've never had a girlfriend.

Page 12-

TR:
[Man…]
[I'm dropping off…]
Wonder why?

TC:
[But…]
[Roses don't suit me at all…]
I look like I'm making a delivery or something.

TL:
[It's kinda frustrating.]
[Even though I'm the 'better student.']

BR:
[I'm good at studying.
I come to school every day.]

BC:
[I follow the rules.]
My personality isn't that great…
[But…]

BL:
[Still roses don't suit me.]

Page 13-

TR:
[Sensei, here.]
[So beautiful.]

TC:
[I grew these myself for]
[the summer assignment.]
[Aren't they pretty?]
[When Kishibe Nobara brought those, well…]

TL:
['Wild Roses']

MR:
[She doesn't come to school much.]

ML:
[Her grades are the pits.
She's got no friends…]

BR:
Oh! It's Kamiogi Yuuko.
Wanna invite her?

BC:
Nah, she'd never take a detour anyway.
Unless it's 'for a teacher,' at least.

BL:
[Even though I'm the 'better student'!]
She's nice, but not very fun. (She always seems so dull.)

Page 14-

TR:
[Kishibe Nobara's house, with roses in full-bloom.]

TC:
[Beautiful things suit this house.]
Nobara-chaaan?

TL:
[Damn…
If I'd been raised in this house,]

ML:
[Would I have grown into a person suited by roses?]

BR:
Nobara-chan? Your friend is here.

BC:
See? It's Kamiogi-san who stopped by before.
'Sup?

Page 15-

TR:
W-what's up…

TL:
… with that color?

MR:
I dyed it yesterday.

ML:
Isn't it pretty?

BR:
SFX: clump
This is why I can't go to school for another 6 months.
They'll make me shave it all off.

BC:
[I don't even think… Irie-sensei would like that color hair.]
It seems like… a waste.

BL:
How so?
But your hair is so pretty!

Page 16-

TC:
You're such…

TL:
a nice person, Kamiogi-san.

MR:
I mean, you always go out of your way

ML:
to bring such trivial things to me.

BR:
[You want me to smash in that pink head of yours with the flower pot?!]

BC:
T-trivial?
Irie-sensei has been faithfully watering that every day…
(And it was pretty heavy for something that doesn't matter…)

BL:
Hey, want to have some tea in the garden?
No.
We just baked some scones.
Er… (S-scones?)

Page 17-

TR:
Eat up!
I went a little overboard while baking.
S-sure…
I got roped into eating something.

MR:
They're good!

TC:
Right?

TL:
I made them myself. (Haha!)
You're surprisingly domestic.

ML:
Nah, I can bake scones but I can't even make nikujaga*!
(NOTE: Nikujaga is a common Japanese dish usually made with meat, potatoes, onions, and soy sauce flavoring.)

BR:
That person before, was that your mother?
Yoshie-san? She's my dead mother's cousin.

BC:
And my dad's lover.
(Hmph)

BL:
Right now he's living with a different woman, though.

Page 18-

TR:
I guess that Yoshie-san lives here to take care of me and all these roses.

MR:
But I'm fine with that.

TC:
O-oh…
That's complicated.

TL:
[In fact,
It's kinda abnormal.]
(Hm)
[No matter how beautifully the roses bloom…]

MR:
[Kishibe Nobara's household is unusual.]
[Even if she doesn't go to school…]

ML:
[Or dyes her hair an outlandish pink…]
[No one says anything about it.]

BR:
[That's why…]

BL:
[she turned out this way.]
(Nobara!!)

Page 19-

TR:
[How… sad…]
Oh!
Tokio-chan!

TL:
(YAY!)
SFX: cling
You've come back!
I forgot something here.
Oh, I see.

BR:
Don't go home so soon!
You can stay a while longer, right?
Nobara?

BC:
SFX: stare

BL:
Uh!
I'll…
be on my way then.
Oh?
[How rude!]
[You didn't have to stare.]

Page 20-

TR:
This is my cousin, Tokio-chan!
He's a writer for a music magazine.

MR:
This is Kamiogi from my class.
She's your friend?
That's odd…

TC:
Didn't know you had any.
(You can say that so easily?)
Hmm…
Well…

TL:
Say?
We're not exactly friends, are we?

MC:
(What the?!)

ML:
Huh?

BR:
We're just classmates.
I was asked to bring things from school.

BC:
That's all.
Bye.

BL:
Thought so.

Page 21-

TR:
Oh!
[I forgot!]
That Hairstyle Release form!
Our class' head teacher, Tayama-sensei, said to bring it...

BR:
Or else they won't let you through the school gates!

TC:
Got it.
I'll bring it with me, then.
That's for the trouble,
fellow classmate, Kamiogi-chan.

TL:
SFX: turn

BC:
That wasn't a very nice thing to call her.
Who cares?
She hates me anyway.

BL:
Do you hate her?

Page 22-

TR:
Well,
not really.

TL:
But she doesn't care about me,
so who cares?
[Kishibe Nobara could…]

MR:
[She'll never be an upstanding adult!]

BR:
[never be friends with a girl like that.]
(She always puts me on edge! I don't get it!)

MC:
[What's it matter…]

BC:
[if roses don't suit me?]
[As long as I'm a respectable person.]

MC:
[The school]
[and the teachers all trust me.]

BC:
[I mean, I'm not in the wrong!]

ML:
[I don't particularly like]
[school or the teachers or studying…]

BL:
[In fact, probably no one likes…]

Page 23-

TC:
You know, today you got complimented by some customers at work!
'I hear your daughter's a great student, Mama!"
they said!
SFX: twitch

TL:
Hmm…
They said it's great you didn't turn out like your mother!
So rude of them, right?
(Ha ha ha!)

MC:
Public universities are bound to let you in!
It's in the bag for you, Yuuko!

ML:
You can't know that!!

BC:
The shop's closed early for once. Get some sleep.
Oh, fine…

BL:
But I didn't close up because I wanted to.
There were no customers! What a disaster…
Mama, just go take a bath already!

Page 24-

TR:
[Sorry, Mom.
But my school career doesn't have anything to do with you.]

TC:

[Dad's the one that's going to be sending me to college!]
(Oh, poo… More gray hairs…)

TL:
[Since my dad got remarried,
I've still been his precious little girl.]
[I take after him, after all!]

MR:
[When we see each other, he gives me allowance.
And he even talks to me about my future!]

ML:
[Have you thought about college?]

BR:
[If only I'd gone after my dad when they split up!]

BC:
God, I hope I never make another life-altering mistake like that again!

BL:
[Why did my mom keep me with her??]
[What a disaster!]

Page 25-

TR:
Good morning.

TL:
KISHIBE!!…
W-what is wrong with your hair?!?

BR:
Let me in,
Tayama-sensei!
SFX: crinkle

BC:
See, I even brought the Hairstyle Release form!

BL:
'To whom it may concern at school:
This relative of ours was born with pink hair.'
See?
(Tokio-chan has crappy handwriting.)
What a lie!!

Page 26-

TR:
Who's that?
Kishibe Nobara?
Da hah ha!
Your hair's pink!?

TC:
SFX: rattle rattle

TL:
Come here!
Oh! Thanks for letting me in!
We might just have to shave your head in the staff room!

BR:
Tayama looks for real.
Let's go see!

BL:
Tayama-sensei!
A-are you serious?!
She's a girl!!
That's an act of violence!

Page 27-

TL:
[NO CORPORAL PUNISHMENT!!]

MR:
It's weird to see such a dorky teacher like Irie-chan getting so upset.
How so?

BR:
It's like he finally realized he's a teacher, or something.
SFX: giggle giggle
[Dumbasses.
Don't you see?]

MC:
[It's because he likes Kishibe Nobara, duh.]
[Just that.
After all, he's gaga for the pretty girls.]
You're outta luck, Irie-chan.

ML:
Fine! I'm leaving!
Kishibe! Wait!
I won't come back!
Tayama-sensei!

BC:
Don't worry! I'll go try to talk her down!
So please wait before suggesting she drop out!
Irie-sensei!

BL:
Kishibeeee!

Page 28-

TR:
W-wait a minute!
SFX: huff huff huff

MR:
If you don't come with me, you may never be able to come back…!

BC:
Our time together has been brief, Sensei.
But this may be our last meeting. Farewell.
SFX: ba-dump!

BL:
Thank you for taking care of the miniature roses.
I heard from Kamiogi-san.
Oh, that's…

Page 29-

BL:
Hey, Sensei?
Wanna go out with me?

Page 30-

TC:
The man I'm seeing now is getting married next month.
He said he'd still sleep with me, but
can you believe that!?
Huh?
O-oh…

TL:
So, Sensei.
Wanna go out with me?
N-no way!

BR:
Why not?
Don't you like me?

BC:
I-if I did something like t-that…
You'd get busted by the prefectural ordinance of underaged something-or-other and fired?
If it's loving and consensual, there's no problem, right?
Or maybe…

BL:
You've got someone else that you're seeing now?

Page 31-

TR:
[Kishibe Nobara…]
[You're too much!]

MR:
[You think that you can make anyone do whatever you want…]
If you go out with me,
I'll dye my hair back to normal and come to school every day.

TC:
Really?
Yep!

MC:
You're being serious?

BC:
I promise.

TL:
SFX: kiss

ML:
I definitely promise!
I'll re-dye my hair and come to school starting tomorrow!

BL:
I'll make my hair and attitude just like a normal student!
Seeya!

Page 32-

TR:
… Sensei?
SFX: jerk!

TC:
Kamiogi!
How could you make such a stupid promise?
She's just playing around with you, you know?

TL:
P-please don't tell anyone about what just happened?
I'd be in big trouble if…
I know that. But why did you promise in the first place?

MR:
W-why? Well, I just…
SFX: blush

ML:
A-and I do want her to come to school, so…
Liar!

BR:
Huh?
You were thrilled, right? To hear her say that?

BC:
I know you've always had a thing for Kishibe-san!
You were always taking care of her flowers and everything!

BL:
K-kamiogi?

Page 33-

TR:
If you really do like her, that's fine.
Whatever.

BR:
But claiming that you're going out with her just because you want her to go to school?
That's the worst!!

TC:
[Why?]

MC:
[I'm the better student.]
[I'm trying my hardest and doing my best.]

BC:
… Kamiogi…

TL:
[Why does she get all the affection?]
[That's not right!]
[It's not fair!]

BL:
[You two enjoy your life in hell!]

Page 34-

TR:
[I've still got someone…]
[… someone who loves me!]

MR:
Papa?
Yeah, it's been a while.

TC:
I wanted to get your opinion on universities.

MC:
I'll swing by your office on Saturday.
See you at 3!

TC:
[The person who loves me…
more than anyone else in the world.]

It doesn't look like I'll be able to send you to college…
Sorry, kiddo.

MC:
What?

TL:
I've got two more kids now.
And the money's going to get pretty tight.

BR:
Takabayashi-kun.
Oh, Chief. Hello.
Is this your daughter?

BL:
No,
Just the daughter of a friend.

Page 35-

TR:
Pa…pa?
[Why won't you say I'm your actual daughter?]

MR:
I see. I didn't think she looked like your wife, after all.

BR:
Your wife is a lot prettier, am I right?
O-oh, well…

TC:
Sorry, Yuuko. Would you mind moving?
Err… what was it that you wanted again?

MC:
SFX: clatter
I'm leaving!

BC:
Forget it!

TL:
Yuuko!
[He probably…]

ML:
[Thinks that because I'm not the child of his current wife,]
[I'm not cute!]

BL:
Don't wander, okay? Go straight home!

Page 36-

TR:
[Now there is no one...]
[No one in the world.]

MR:
[Won't someone please think...]
[that I'm pretty or precious?]

BL:
[That man]
[with Kishibe Nobara.]
[I think I've seen a picture of him…]
[Is it… her father?]

Page 37-

TR:
It's been a year since we took a walk, Papa!
It has.

BR:
Have you been going to school?
I go enough to keep from failing. Don't worry.

TC:
They let you go with that hair?

MC:
I'm fixing it tomorrow, geez!
But I wanted to show it to you first!

TL:
You know…
Now I've found someone that I really like.

ML:
Someone that cares so much about me.
They're earnest and sincere.

BL:
Someone that loves me very much.

Page 38-

TR:
[Could it be?!]
[She and Sensei have…!]

BR:
They said that
they'd risk their job for me.
That's impressive.

TC:
I might even lose to this man. (Much as it pains me…)
Hah! Papa, you already…

MC:
… left me and mom, Yoshie-san, too, long ago.

BC:
Hey, isn't that-!
I know, right?! The writer, Kishibe Ryuuji!
I hear his novel is being made into a movie!

TL:
Are you happy, Papa?
[It's not fair.]
I won't lose to you, Nobara.
I'm living the life I want to.

BL:
Then maybe I'll learn from you and just live how I want to?
Isn't that what you're already doing?
[Lovers at her beck and call. A famous father…]
[Why does she get everything?]

Page 39-

TR:
[She doesn't have anything to fear from not attending classes.]

MR:
[But…]
[I guess…]
[This is real life.]

TC:
[The selfish Kishibe Nobara gets anything and everything she wants.]

BC:
[And me, the silent good girl, gets nothing.]
[This life.]

TC:
Where were you, Yuuko?
Hurry up! Mama's hungry!

MC:
I have to eat and head back to the shop!
[I'm getting fed up with it.]

TL:
[I want to give up.]

ML:
[I…]
[Don't know if I can keep trying so hard…]
(Eek!)
(Yeah!)
(Wahoo!)
(Ee!)
(My grades slipped!)
This is the highest rank you've gotten, Kamiogi!

BL:
I see…
In the end, I tried hard…
(Hah… hah…)

Page 40-

MR:
Irie-sensei?
I still haven't seen Kishibe-san at school.
O-oh.
No…

BR:
SFX: walk walk

MC:
Irie-chan's been weird lately.
Yeah, spacing out in class.

BC:
Did you hear? He's been going to Kishibe's house recently…
SFX: whisper whisper
No way!

ML:
I hear you've been going to Kishibe's house to persuade her?
Yes
A-and help her study…

BL:
Irie-sensei. Please don't do anything that might seem untoward…
Looks like Tayama-sensei might have caught on.

TR:
Oh?
Then why don't you just quit?

BR:
… Yeah.

TC:
It's like a dream.
I've always…

MC:
From the moment I saw you, to think that we would…

BC:
Are you happy?
… Yes.

TL:
My family has always been teachers.
If they found out, I'd be disinherited.
Who cares? Just come to my house.

BL:
I'll keep you.
Become like your pet dog?
Even that's fine with me.
After all, I've lived this long taking orders from other people.

Page 42-

TR:
It's far better to be at the beck and call of the person I love

TL:
than my parents or my superiors
Ha ha…

MR:
Sensei, you're-

MC:
so cute!

ML:
SFX: squeeze
But that's true.

BR:
(Oh!)

BC:
Kamiogi!?

BL:
Sensei?
I heard that you were sick with a cold…
So now the teachers aren't even coming to school anymore?

To think that you're here…

Page 43-

TR:
This girl is that important?!
Why?

TL:
It's not really your business.
It is!
I'm your student.

MR:
You should stop going out with her!
You'll become worthless, just like her!

MC:
Worthless?

BC:
Those that have no worth are often the happiest in the world.

ML:
If you fall in love
and go out with a boy, you'd understand.
You just have to love with wild abandon.

BL:
Have to?
Even if it hurts those around you?

Page 44-

TR:
Hurts…?
Hurts who?

BR:
W-who...?
[No.]
[I can't say it.]

BC:
[I can't say it, but…]
[I want him to understand.]
But…
If you don't come to school, then…

Who will take care of the rabbit?
SFX: twitch
The rabbit?

BL:
Won't you… take care of it for me?
Poor thing… left alone…

Page 45-

TR:
Can't be helped.
Sensei cares about me more than that silly bunny now.

TC:
Right?

TL:
Poor rabbit, though. Why don't you go back to school just to take care of it?
Or you could ask Kamiogi-san, since she's so reliable.

MC:
I'll be right back! Gotta go to school!

BR:
Men…

BC:
They're such idiots.

BL:
So quick to obey.

Page 46-

TR:
Seems so.
Even your dad and cousin and Sensei…

TL:
They cater to your every whim.
That's right.

MR:
There's no fun…
in getting everything you want so easily.

BR:
I'm not even sad when they go away.

MC:
Since I was little,
any boy I thought was good-looking fell for me.

BC:
That's why all the girls hate me.

ML:
They said my name was strange…
They called my lighter-colored hair creepy and red.

BL:
I never got along with other girls.
But
There is one thing that other's have that I don't.

Page 47-

TR:
A female friend.

TL:
Yeah,
I want friends.

MR:
Someone that isn't just friendly because of money or sex.
I thought that sounded… nice.

MC:
Asking a bit much?
You think you can find a girl that doesn't hate you?

BC:
[Female friends? Hah!]
[You hardly ever find girls that aren't shallow.]
Kamiogi-san.

ML:
If you be my friend…
I'll break up with Irie-sensei for you.

Page 48-

TR:
After all…

TL:
You do like me, right?

ML:
We're alike, you and I.

BR:
Alike?
How, exactly?!

Well…

MC:
You don't have any friends either.

BC:
You go to school every day and you still can't manage to make one friend.
You don't trust anyone else.

ML:
That's where we're similar.

Page 49-

TR:
I want to be your friend.

BR:
If you be my friend, I'll go to school every day.
I'll even dye my hair black.

MC:
Come on.
Trust me.

TL:
I don't trust men.
I go out with them because they're useful.

ML:
Irie-sensei wasn't a good enough replacement for you.
So, I don't need him anymore.

BL:
[More than love…]
[She wants the thrill of danger.]

Page 50-

MR:
We'll become best friends.

BC:
Going to school together everyday…
We'll talk about anything and everything. No secrets.

MC:
[This is may be…]
[more frightening than a love confession.]

ML:
[A much more dangerous temptation…]

BL:
Don't you think that sounds better than romance?
