Notes:
- Japanese raws (for the whole volume 13) can be downloaded here
- I'm a beginner at Japanese so expect mistakes (I'll put a note when I'm really not sure what they're talking about)
- I took liberties for some of the translations
- Please don't use without my permission. Thank you ^_^

Somebody: I'm sorry, but Taizou-shi is currently in poor health and is hospitalized
Somebody: No, we'll give an explanation regarding this matter in due time
(Text in magazine)
Taizou has done it again
Sumptuous Feast
Yuuzan: No but... huh? How could you not help your family at a time like this
Yuuzan: Ah, wait. Hold it, Michiru-san
(People at the office, from right to left)
Andou!! Immediately go and bring this to this district
Aye
Run!!
Aye!!
(Scribbles, from right to left)
Ah, thank you thank you. Your help is is greatly appreciated
Oh, no. There's no such thing at all
We're still looking into this matter
Yes, we would get back to you later
Somebody: Yuuzan-san, what about his wife!!
Yuuzan: No use... She cut the call and seems to have arrived at Dubai already
Yuuzan: Forget it, I'll go and apologize alone
Somebody: This is bad. Mistress No. 4 has come out on TV-----
~~~~~COVER~~~~~
(Title): Children of the Riverside
(Box): That's right. When everything's finished,
(Box): let's go to some place quiet
~~~~~PAGE 2~~~~~
Haru's mom: Yuuzan
Haru's mom: Take this candy with you and go over there
Radio: And that song was "Moon River"
Radio: And now, for the next song
~~~~~PAGE 3~~~~~
(Radio): Good evening, this is Millie-san. *can't really understand but it's probably what radio djs talk about*
Yuuzan: Where... is this? What time is it?
Yuuzan: Morning? Evening?
Mitsuyoshi: It's five in the morning
Mitsuyoshi: We're going fishing now
Mitsuyoshi: I tried waking you up, but you wouldn't
Mitsuyoshi: Why are you sleeping in someone else's car, Yuuzan
Yuuzan: ......A lot of stuff happened yesterday... and I didn't have the energy to go back
Yuuzan: ...to my room
~~~~~PAGE 4~~~~~
Yuuzan: But why is Andou also here?
(Scribble): I told you it's alright to go back
Andou: This DJ's voice is really erotic!
Andou: Geez, of course I'll stay with you when you're in a pinch!
Yuuzan: Liar. You have this really hateful habit of appearing only when everything's been handled with already
Yuuzan: Anyway, turn back, Mitsuyoshi. I don't know when I'll get called again
Micchan: Ah? Give me a break. It's bad when you just woke up.
Micchan: It's fine already. Go out now that that thing with your old man is settled.
Micchan: It's lonely without Haru around, you know
~~~~~PAGE 5~~~~~
Yuuzan: I have no strength left...
Micchan: Hahaha you've done enough already
Somebody: Oh yeah, were you dreaming in your sleep?
Yuuzan: ...I was eating candy. Alone
Somebody: What's up with that
Somebody: You still eat even in your dreams
Yuuzan: .....
Yuuzan: ...That must be it. It's because I'm hungry. I haven't eaten anything since yesterday
Yuuzan: Let's go get some McBreakfast. McBreakfast!!
Micchan: Eh-------- But we're already at the highway
Andou: Oh, that sounds good
Yuuzan: We can just take the drive-through
Micchan: It got noisy when you woke up
~~~~~PAGE 6~~~~~
Yuuzan: Mmm, pretty good. I'm satisfied
Andou: Ah, I met Ryou-senpai the other day
Micchan: Seriously? How's that guy?
Andou: He has 2 children already
Yuuzan: There's no one in the morning
Yuuzan: I'm having take-out for breakfast
Yuuzan: And it's already daybreak over there
Yuuzan: Perhaps, it may have been too much to hurry with my life
~~~~~PAGE 7~~~~~
Yuuzan: For example, I could have pursued becoming a film director
Yuuzan: A magnificent love romance, of lovers torn apart
Yuuzan: But always, having a happy ending
Yuuzan: There should be hope in the story, you know
Micchan: ...What kind of story is that
Yuuzan: ...It will happen, this story. I'm telling you, it will.
Yuuzan: Lately, I've been thinking
Yuuzan: Of what's ahead, after graduating and succeeding the old man when he retires
Yuuzan: I wonder, am I really fine with my life?
Yuuzan (scribble): One hot apple pie
Yuuzan: Where could I possibly be headed
Yuuzan: with all the choices that I've made
~~~~~PAGE 8~~~~~
Micchan: That's kinda floaty. What about your future subordinates?
Andou: Haa... well, honestly speaking
Andou: He's simply going to replace those that follow him
Yuuzan: ...You guys are as severe as ever
Yuuzan: I feel at ease
Micchan: You're being contradictory-
~~~~~PAGE 9~~~~~
(Scribble): Thank you very much---
Andou (scribble): *sorry can't understand
Micchan (scribble): Idiot
Yuuzan (thoughts): ...I know
Yuuzan: after all these years, there's no other way for me
Yuuzan (scribble): What would a good adult do... *not entirely sure
(Text): I've been living in that house for too long
(Text): If I get thrown away now,
(Text): nothing will be left of me
(Text): ...Mom
(Text): Mom
~~~~~PAGE 10~~~~~
Yuuzan: What are you doing?
Mom: ...You know, I'm busy right now.
Mom: Here, I'll give you this candy
Mom: So go over there
~~~~~PAGE 11-12~~~~~
(Box): Mom was completely like a girl
(Box): Hating dad, she left as soon as she gave birth to Haru
(Box): Being selfish on a whim
(Box): Really, she was much too young to bear children
Yuuzan (thoughts): Sweet
(Text): How can I
(Text): make my mom look at me
(Text): Once I become an adult
(Text): and get acknowledged by the people around me
(Box): once I become a legitimate son
Mom: ...Invitation? Ummm...
~~~~~PAGE 13~~~~~
Yuuzan: Andou-saaan. No, no! A little big to the right. Right.
Yuuzan: Th-there.
Andou: Is there really a fish here with a human face!?
Yuuzan: Who knows, isn't that why you're looking
Andou: Damn you
Yuuzan: How are you doing--- It'll change into a human if you keep that up--
Micchan: Oi, you guys. We came here to fish, so fish
Micchan (scribble): Your subordinate, too *idk
Yuuzan: No way. I don't wanna have to catch the fish that I'm going to put on my plate for dinner
Micchan: Who was the damned person that said he wanted to eat fish burgers
~~~~~PAGE 14~~~~~
Yuuzan: This feels great
Yuuzan: It's good coming to this kind of place once in a while
Yuuzan: Thanks, Mitsuyoshi
Yuuzan: for trying to make me rest
Yuuzan: ...Last year, Andou-san and I went to my mom's place
Yuuzan: On an errand for father
~~~~~PAGE 15~~~~~~
Yuuzan (text): Andou-saan, get up*
Andou (text): Nhah? Where to?*
Yuuzan (text): To a place with schoolgirl swimsuits!*
*I can't remember if this is a flashback that was shown in the manga or not
Yuuzan: When I met mother at that time, she told me "stop"
Yuuzan: It was as you said
Yuuzan: What the heck was I expecting anyway
Micchan: .....
Micchan: Yuuzan, you are in a chasm*
*can also be valley, but I think chasm works better to symbolize Yuuzan's situation
Micchan: Until now, and for the rest of your life
~~~~~PAGE 16~~~~~
Micchan: So I think about it a lot
Yuuzan: You're a good guy, Mitsuyoshi
Yuuzan: Surely
Yuuzan: if I ever like someone*
Yuuzan: I'd say it'd be someone like Mitsuyoshi*
*sorry I'm pretty sure this is inaccurate
~~~~~PAGE 17~~~~~
Yuuzan: It's good
Yuuzan: that Haru
Yuuzan: is with you
Somebody: ...Oi
Somebody: Oi
~~~~~PAGE 18~~~~~
Micchan: You're probably the son of this house.
Micchan: Is your dad in?
Micchan: Tell him that his sister's son came to see him
Yuuzan (thoughts): It's... it's a yankee...!!
Yuuzan: Fa...Father is not here right now
Yuuzan: ---Mitsuyoshi, I'll give you money for Aunt Kyouko's surgery
~~~~~PAGE 19~~~~~
Yuuzan: Because I think you'll have to rely on me to somehow manage this
Yuuzan: So,
Yuuzan: in exchange, take Haru with you
Micchan: ...Why do you
Micchan: hate Haru that much
Micchan: ...Fine, I'll take Haru
Micchan: But I'll certainly pay back the money
~~~~~PAGE 20~~~~~
Micchan: If you don't want him, then I'll take him
Micchan: Haru is
Micchan: my family
~~~~~PAGE 21~~~~~
Yuuzan: Yes hello, aaah father.
Yuuzan: Yes, I'm heading towards there now.
Yuuzan: Eh? You want to eat onsen manjuu? Please don't say such a ridiculous thing?
Yuuzan: Michiru-san? Isn't she still at Dubai?
Yuuzan: Ha? I have to apologize!? What are you saying... Eh, wait...
Yuuzan: .....
Yuuzan (thoughts): ...For now, I'll go buy some manjuu at the station
~~~~~PAGE 22~~~~~
Yuuzan (thoughts): Even if I took a lot of trouble to buy this, he'll just say "It's not from Kusatsu"
Yuuzan (thoughts): Haa... Mitsuyoshi, I'm still going to be in this chasm for a longer time
Takaya: ...Oh, it's Yuuzan-oniisan
~~~~~PAGE 23~~~~~
Yuuzan: ...Takaya-kun!? Wow, you've gotten big!
Takaya: It's been a long time
Yuuzan: What? You're already a middle school student?
Takaya: I'm a first year
Yuuzan: Ah, I see. I've got some onsen manjuu. It's good, wanna eat?
Takaya: Onsen... manjuu
Yuuzan: Oh stop looking so tensed
Yuuzan: Ok then, let's get some drinks too
Yuuzan (scribble): There's a shop right over there
Takaya: !!
Takaya: I-I'm fine with just a grande
Yuuzan: You could drink a bucket-ful. Shizuku-chan won't get angry
Takaya (scribble): This is great. I could get what I want*
*or so I think that's what that means
~~~~~PAGE 24~~~~~
Yuuzan: Is Shizuku-chan well?
Takaya: Yes
Yuuzan: Right now, she's preparing for exams, right?
Takaya: Yes
Yuuzan: Well, but it's Shizuku-chan so there's nothing to worry about
Takaya: That's right
Yuuzan (thoughts): ...What a straightforward child
Yuuzan (scribble): They're really siblings
Takaya: Yuuzan-san, what are you doing in a place like this
Yuuzan: I'm doing some deep thinking about my life
Takaya: Deep thinking?
Yuuzan: You'll think about a lot of stuff when you become an adult
Takaya: Is that so... I want to become an adult soon
~~~~~PAGE 25~~~~~
Yuuzan: Eeeh? It's better if you don't, you know
Yuuzan: If you end up wanting to be like Mitsuyoshi, Shizuku-chan will cry
Takaya: Mitsuyoshi... Aah, it's the big uncle
Yuuzan: Right. That uncle
Yuuzan (thoughts): I'm surprised that Takaya-kun knows Mitsuyoshi. He's already an uncle
Yuuzan (thoughts): but I'm still an older brother
Takaya: ...Yuuzan-san, do you like my sister?
Yuuzan: No I don't
Yuuzan: Why do you ask?
Takaya: Because you kept on talking about her for quite a while
Yuuzan: That's just small talk. Takaya-kun seems really mature, huh
~~~~~PAGE 26~~~~~
Yuuzan: ...But, you're right
Yuuzan: I think she's a very wonderful girl
Yuuzan: I'm really glad that Shizuku-chan fell in love with Haru
Takaya: ...I heard from my sister before that Haru-san and Yuuzan-san don't get along
Takaya: but it doesn't appear to be that way
Yuuzan: ...Really?
Yuuzan (scribble): You think so?
Takaya: Yes
Takaya: Some time ago, during my sister's birthday, Yoshida... Haru-san came
Takaya: They were talking about our mom
~~~~~PAGE 27~~~~~
Takaya: Haru-san's mother is also not at home. When he asked me if I was lonely
Haru (text): Takaya, aren't you lonely?
Takaya: I answered "My sister is here".
Takaya: Haru-san laughed and said, "It's the same with me"
~~~~~PAGE 28~~~~~
Text: It's not even a tiniest bit of your fault*
*Flashback from ch46 (I think)
Text: This is the last time that I'm attending your birthday*
*Flashback from ch38
~~~~~PAGE 29~~~~~
Yuuzan: ...Haru, do you want to meet mom?
Haru: I don't wanna. It's better not to
Yuuzan (thoughts): It's better not to? Why so...
Yuuzan (thoughts): Well, it can't be helped. Haru doesn't know "mom"
Haru: ......"Mom" makes Yuuzan sad, that's why I hate her
~~~~~PAGE 30~~~~~
Takaya: ...Well then, I have to go back now.
Takaya: Thank you for the treat.
Yuuzan: Ah, okay
Takaya: .....
Yuuzan: ?
Takaya: ...Yuuzan-san, why do you keep your hair long when you're a guy?
Takaya (scribble): Are you part of a band?
Yuuzan (thoughts): That wasn't what I expected him to ask at all
~~~~~PAGE 31~~~~~
Yuuzan: I'm chasing after the shadow of seekers*
*if it doesn't make sense to you, there's a big chance it doesn't make sense to me either...or maybe this means he's chasing after those who are sure of what they want in life (e.g. the seekers; Haru)
Yuuzan: What I mean is, rather than for sentimental reasons
Yuuzan: It's more of an act of rebellion
Takaya: I see, so it's an act of rebellion
Takaya: Well then
Yuuzan: Yeah
~~~~~PAGE 32~~~~~
Yuuzan: ...See you, Takaya-kun
Yuuzan: The next time we meet
Yuuzan: You'll probably be already taller than me
(Text): The things that I lost
(Text): The things that I wanted
(Text): Being rebellious, I've come this far
~~~~~PAGE 33~~~~
(Text): Even so,
(Text): I'm still tied to this path
~~~~~PAGE 34~~~~~
Andou: Oh my, you had your hair cut quite a lot
Yuuzan: Here, onsen manjuu for father.
Yuuzan: I went all the way to Kusatsu to buy this. It's the same thing
Andou: ...You done with your soul searching?
(Scribble): My neck feels cool...
Yuuzan: ...The result is all that matters
Yuuzan: not really the process
Yuuzan: For the time being,
Yuuzan: let's go to the place you were talking about!!
~~~~~PAGE 35~~~~~
(Text): Surely, along the way
(Text): There will be ups and downs
(Text): Falling into the darkest pit of despair,
(Text): Fluttering in the throes of happiness
(Text): But surely
(Text): I will be laughing
Somebody: Kinoshita!! Go take this to the election committee
Somebody: Okay!!
Somebody: Run!!
Somebody: Yes
~~~~~PAGE 36~~~~~
Andou: Oi Yuuzan-san, what are you doing, this is an important time!!
Andou: This wouldn't have happened if it weren't for you!!
Yuuzan: Now now, please wait a moment. The main character always enters late, you know
Andou: How easygoing you are... to already be freely doing what you want even if Taizou-sensei will be livid.
Andou: We might have no place to return to once the results are out
Yuuzan: Well, let's just hope that luck is on our side. It's what made us come this far, after all
Yuuzan (scribble): Take this
Yuuzan: During this busy-as-hell time, they're inviting me to a celebration
~~~~~PAGE 37~~~~~
Yuuzan: Well then,
Yuuzan: let's go overcome all those obstacles!
(First Card)
Invitation
This is to inform you about our marriage
Yoshida Haru
Mizutani Shizuku
(Second Card)
*Yuuzan encircles Attending
*writes his name in the second line
Congrats!!
(Box): --Finally being able to laugh, this is already good
~~~~~PAGE 38~~~~~
The Adult and the Boy
(Box): At the bench
Girl 1: Ah, it's Takaya-kun
Girl 2: Takaya-kun, byebye
Takaya: ......Byebye..
Girl: So cute-♡
Yuuzan: Your classmates?
Takaya: I don't know what class they're in
Yuuzan: How cute-
Takaya: It's not pleasant
Yuuzan: Haha is that so
Yuuzan: ...It's nice to have girls speak with you...
Takaya: That's something the boys from my class would say
With That Said
Takaya: My classmates are noisy so I dislike it...
Yuuzan (scribble): How mature
Yuuzan (scribble): So cool-----
Girls: Kya kya
Takaya: .....
Girl 1: Did you see
Girl 1: Just now, Takaya-kun
Girl 2: So cool
Girls: Kya kya
Takaya: Tch

★Spin-Off Chapter 3 Omake★「Children of the Riverside - After」
Yuuzan: Today's snack
Yuuzan: is this Charlotte O' Phrase*
*I am not sure of the name of the cake, especially the Phrase part ahaha if you do know, please shoot me a message ^_^
Takaya: It's one big cake...!!
Takaya (scribble): Is it okay to eat all of this...!!
Yuuzan (scribble): You can have half of it
Yuuzan: Fuffuffu. Takaya-kun's reaction is really good
Takaya: The inside's like pudding
Yuuzan: Yup, and the cream is pure Bavarian cream and the milk was chilled to harden it
(Box): Found a little frined
~~~~~PAGE 40~~~~~
Yuuzan: Hey, Takaya-kun...
Yuuzan: Do you have a girlfriend?
Takaya: Not really
Somebody: I'm sorry, but Taizou-shi is currently in poor health and is hospitalized
Somebody: No, we'll give an explanation regarding this matter in due time

Yuuzan: Oh stop looking so tensed
Yuuzan: Ok then, let's get some drinks too
Yuuzan (scribble): There's a shop right over there
Takaya: !!
Takaya: I-I'm fine with just a grande
Yuuzan: You could drink a bucket-ful. Shizuku-chan won't get angry
Takaya (scribble): This is great. I could get what I want*
*or so I think that's what that means
~~~~~PAGE 24~~~~~
Yuuzan: Is Shizuku-chan well?
Takaya: Yes
Yuuzan: Right now, she's preparing for exams, right?
Takaya: Yes
Yuuzan: Well, but it's Shizuku-chan so there's nothing to worry about
Takaya: That's right
Yuuzan (thoughts): ...What a straightforward child
Yuuzan (scribble): They're really siblings
Takaya: Yuuzan-san, what are you doing in a place like this
Yuuzan: I'm doing some deep thinking about my life
Takaya: Deep thinking?
Yuuzan: You'll think about a lot of stuff when you become an adult
Takaya: Is that so... I want to become an adult soon
~~~~~PAGE 25~~~~~
Yuuzan: Eeeh? It's better if you don't, you know
Yuuzan: If you end up wanting to be like Mitsuyoshi, Shizuku-chan will cry
Takaya: Mitsuyoshi... Aah, it's the big uncle
Yuuzan: Right. That uncle
Yuuzan (thoughts): I'm surprised that Takaya-kun knows Mitsuyoshi. He's already an uncle
Yuuzan (thoughts): but I'm still an older brother
Takaya: ...Yuuzan-san, do you like my sister?
Yuuzan: No I don't
Yuuzan: Why do you ask?
Takaya: Because you kept on talking about her for quite a while
Yuuzan: That's just small talk. Takaya-kun seems really mature, huh
~~~~~PAGE 26~~~~~
Yuuzan: ...But, you're right
Yuuzan: I think she's a very wonderful girl
Yuuzan: I'm really glad that Shizuku-chan fell in love with Haru
Takaya: ...I heard from my sister before that Haru-san and Yuuzan-san don't get along
Takaya: but it doesn't appear to be that way
Yuuzan: ...Really?
Yuuzan (scribble): You think so?
Takaya: Yes
Takaya: Some time ago, during my sister's birthday, Yoshida... Haru-san came
Takaya: They were talking about our mom
~~~~~PAGE 27~~~~~
Takaya: Haru-san's mother is also not at home. When he asked me if I was lonely
Haru (text): Takaya, aren't you lonely?
Takaya: I answered "My sister is here".
Takaya: Haru-san laughed and said, "It's the same with me"
~~~~~PAGE 28~~~~~
Text: It's not even a tiniest bit of your fault*
*Flashback from ch46 (I think)
Text: This is the last time that I'm attending your birthday*
*Flashback from ch38
~~~~~PAGE 29~~~~~
Yuuzan: ...Haru, do you want to meet mom?
Haru: I don't wanna. It's better not to
Yuuzan (thoughts): It's better not to? Why so...
Yuuzan (thoughts): Well, it can't be helped. Haru doesn't know "mom"
Haru: ......"Mom" makes Yuuzan sad, that's why I hate her
~~~~~PAGE 30~~~~~
Takaya: ...Well then, I have to go back now.
Takaya: Thank you for the treat.
Yuuzan: Ah, okay
Takaya: .....
Yuuzan: ?
Takaya: ...Yuuzan-san, why do you keep your hair long when you're a guy?
Takaya (scribble): Are you part of a band?
Yuuzan (thoughts): That wasn't what I expected him to ask at all
~~~~~PAGE 31~~~~~
Yuuzan: I'm chasing after the shadow of seekers*
*if it doesn't make sense to you, there's a big chance it doesn't make sense to me either...or maybe this means he's chasing after those who are sure of what they want in life (e.g. the seekers; Haru)
Yuuzan: What I mean is, rather than for sentimental reasons
Yuuzan: It's more of an act of rebellion
Takaya: I see, so it's an act of rebellion
Takaya: Well then
Yuuzan: Yeah
~~~~~PAGE 32~~~~~
Yuuzan: ...See you, Takaya-kun
Yuuzan: The next time we meet
Yuuzan: You'll probably be already taller than me
(Text): The things that I lost
(Text): The things that I wanted
(Text): Being rebellious, I've come this far
~~~~~PAGE 33~~~~
(Text): Even so,
(Text): I'm still tied to this path
~~~~~PAGE 34~~~~~
Andou: Oh my, you had your hair cut quite a lot
Yuuzan: Here, onsen manjuu for father.
Yuuzan: I went all the way to Kusatsu to buy this. It's the same thing
Andou: ...You done with your soul searching?
(Scribble): My neck feels cool...
Yuuzan: ...The result is all that matters
Yuuzan: not really the process
Yuuzan: For the time being,
Yuuzan: let's go to the place you were talking about!!
~~~~~PAGE 35~~~~~
(Text): Surely, along the way
(Text): There will be ups and downs
(Text): Falling into the darkest pit of despair,
(Text): Fluttering in the throes of happiness
(Text): But surely
(Text): I will be laughing
Somebody: Kinoshita!! Go take this to the election committee
Somebody: Okay!!
Somebody: Run!!
Somebody: Yes
~~~~~PAGE 36~~~~~
Andou: Oi Yuuzan-san, what are you doing, this is an important time!!
Andou: This wouldn't have happened if it weren't for you!!
Yuuzan: Now now, please wait a moment. The main character always enters late, you know
Andou: How easygoing you are... to already be freely doing what you want even if Taizou-sensei will be livid.
Andou: We might have no place to return to once the results are out
Yuuzan: Well, let's just hope that luck is on our side. It's what made us come this far, after all
Yuuzan (scribble): Take this
Yuuzan: During this busy-as-hell time, they're inviting me to a celebration
