Invitation
This is to inform you about our marriage
Yoshida Haru
Mizutani Shizuku
(Box): My sister is getting married
Takaya (thoughts): Marriage...
~~~~~PAGE 2~~~~~
Takaya: Well... Shizuku has already graduated college, but Yoshida is still a student...
Takaya: What do they mean they're suddenly getting married...?
Takashi: You're still wondering after all these years?
Takashi: Well now that reminds me. Yoshino-san and I somehow accidentally made Shizuku while we were still studying
Takashi: Her father beat me up and made a big fuss in the university Because Yoshino-san was popular
Takashi: When I asked Yoshino-san afterwards "Just do towards the goal even if it's not decided*" is what she said. Aaah, at that moment, I was mesmerized!!
*sorry I really can't understand that part. Tried to make sense of it but the accuracy suffers
Takaya: So that's mom and dad's story...
(Box): Although the parent is laughing complacently
(Box): the younger brother is a bit more complicated
Takaya (thoughts): ...We'll become part of the Yoshida family. There's no doubt about that...
~~~~~PAGE 3~~~~~
(Text): Even though it's too early
(Text): It'll happen someday anyway
(Text): For me, I at least want to graduate first...
Takashi: ? Who could it be?
Ooshima: Ah, Takaya-kun. Hello. Is your sister there?
~~~~~PAGE 4~~~~~
Takaya: Sensei
Ooshima: I came because of that mail from Mizutani-san. I thought it would be too much trouble so I'm handing this over directly
Ooshima: Here
(Text on card)
Ooshima Chizuru
I'll definitely come!
Ooshima: ...It's been almost a year since the last time we saw each other isn't it, Takaya-kun. Ever since my teaching practice?
~~~~~PAGE 5~~~~~
Ooshima: Congratulations again on your sister's wedding
Somebody: Stand up.
Somebody: Bow
(Text on poster)
Teaching Practice
~~~~~PAGE 6~~~~~
Takaya: Ooshima-san
Ooshima: Takaya-kun
Ooshima: I was really surprised. I didn't know I was assigned to Takaya-kun's class!
Takaya: I think... I'm the one who is more surprised...
Ooshima: Takaya-kun really has grown a lot. I didn't recognize you for a moment!
~~~~~PAGE 7~~~~~
Ooshima: Ah, but you can't call me "Ooshima-san" just like what you did earlier! You have to address me as "Sensei" while in school or else I will get angry
Takaya: ..."Sensei"?
Takaya: ...It's rather nice. Thank you very much...
Takaya: "Ooshima-sensei"...
Ooshima: ? Then I'll have to go prepare.
Ooshima: Let's both do our best for these next two weeks!
Ooshima: Mizutani-kun
~~~~~PAGE 8~~~~~
Somebody: How was it, Takaya?
Somebody: Your first love
Takaya: She called me "Mizutani-kun"...
(Box): Ooshima san
(Text): is my sister's friend who is 5 years older than me
(Text): and is the person I admire
Ooshima: Sorry, are you alright?
Ooshima: Here
Ooshima: an apple candy
Takaya (thoughts): Damn it... A grown up Ooshima-san... "College Student" + "Sensei" + "Ponytail"...
(Bold text): The root of Takaya's fetish for older people
(Text): She's completely changed
Takaya (thoughts): Ooshima-san is perfect...
Murayan: ...Takaya
Murayan: It's the penalty of love
Murayan: You just have to persist through it
Takaya: Murayan...
(Box): Ooshima-san
~~~~~PAGE 9~~~~~
(Box): Seeing her right now in front of me,
Student: Ooshima-sensei--- It's upside down---
Student: You can do it---
(Text): IT'S KILLING ME
Takaya (thoughts): Ooshima-sensei's butt
Student: Hey, stop it already, you guys
Student: You should follow Takaya-kun's example. Super cool
~~~~~PAGE 10~~~~~
Ooshima: Takaya-kun, it's spring break now, right?
Takaya: Yes
Ooshima: Then you'll be a third year once the school year starts
Takaya: Yes
Ooshima: You'll be preparing for exams
Takaya: Yes...
Takaya: But somehow, I'll just do what my father used to say...
Takaya: and go wherever life takes me...
Ooshima: Ahahaha I see. Takaya-kun wasn't good at studying
Ooshima: But it's alright, you just have to do your best even if you don't know where you're headed
Ooshima: This is just the beginning for you guys, Takaya-kun
Takaya: ...Sorry for today
Ooshima: ?
Takaya: You took the trouble to come, but my sister wasn't around.
Ooshima: It's fine. She's preparing for the wedding, right?
(Text): And besides, I decided to come on my own
~~~~~PAGE 11~~~~~
Takaya: ...Actually, my sister and Haru-san went before to the Judicial Institute to have their names entered into the family register. They didn't intend to do the wedding ceremony. How troublesome
Takaya: When we went to say hello to Haru-san's father, he said "This family already has 500 members, and the ceremony will simply increase it."
(Text around Taizou): Because it's already filled right now, you'll have to have an appointment
Takaya: They argued over and over again until they finally decided that Haru-san's family will handle all the expenses, and that's the end of the story...
Ooshima: Getting married is hard~~~
Ooshima: ...But how nice, getting married
Ooshima: Yuu-chan and Tokita-kun too
Ooshima: I also yearn to become a bride
Takaya: ...Isn't it too early?
Ooshima: Eh, really? Oh, well, Takaya-kun is still a high school student
Takaya: I think it's too early.
Takaya: ...A partner, do you have one already?
Ooshima: !!
~~~~~PAGE 12~~~~~
Ooshima: Wh.... what do you mean!?
(Text): How rude!!
Ooshima: Or rather, what's with that habit of peering down at people
Ooshima: That sort of thing is not good!!
Takaya: Because before
Takaya: I had to look up to see
Takaya: my sister's and Ooshima-san's face
~~~~~PAGE 13~~~~~
Takaya: Now,
Takaya: I have to bend down to look at you
Somebody: ...Sensei
Somebody: Sensei
~~~~~PAGE 14~~~~~
Takaya: What are you doing in this place?
Ooshima: Waa that surprised me
Takaya: ...You're eating lunch?
Ooshima: Yeah, I ended up eating here
Takaya: That's tough...
Takaya: But nowadays, Ooshima-sensei is no longer easily bullied and is now popular among the students
(Box): Remembering the strict Ooshima-san
Takaya (flashback thoughts): A strict Ooshima-sensei is also good
Ooshima: That's because you made fun of me so much
Ooshima: You have club activities after, right?
Ooshima: Fufu that's youth. Good luck
~~~~~PAGE 15~~~~~
Takaya (thoughts): ...As usual, she treats me like a kid...
Takaya (thoughts): But like this is also fine...
(Box): Already okay with anything
Ooshima: I wish I had participated in club activities too
(Text): Ooshima-san, do you know
(Text): to become equal to you right now
(Text): I have to grow
Ooshima: Fufufu
Takaya: ?
Ooshima: Ah, before, I was also eating lunch at a place like this when Yoshida-kun talked to me
Takaya: Yoshi... You mean Haru-san?
Ooshima: Yeah, Yoshida-kun
Takaya: .....
Takaya: ...Hn? Before?
(Text beside Takaya): Could it be, Ooshima-san...
Ooshima: Somehow, I feel nostalgic
Ooshima: Remembering the times when I was a high school student
~~~~~PAGE 16~~~~~
Ooshima: I
Ooshima: admired Yoshida-kun and Mizutani-san
Ooshima: Just like them, I wanted
Ooshima: to be able to directly say what I think
Takaya: ...Is that so?
(Text beside Ooshima): Thanks for the food
Ooshima: Fufufu. Saying exactly what you're thinking, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing but
Ooshima: to be able to convey what you feel takes courage
Ooshima: ...Probably because it was during my high school years when I really worked the hardest
Ooshima: that's why everything looked dazzling
~~~~~PAGE 17~~~~~
Takaya: ...Ooshima-san, I think you're still doing your best
Takaya: You're kind, and you always say properly the things that you have to say
Ooshima: ...You really are
Ooshima: Mizutani-san's brother, Takaya-kun
Ooshima: --Well!! I gotta go now
Ooshima: Takaya-kun, you also have club activities. You might get late---
Ooshima: Wa
~~~~~PAGE 18~~~~~
Ooshima: ~~~So-sorry. For being such a big bother. Silly me...
Takaya ...No
Takaya: Please be careful
(Box): --That night, I
~~~~~PAGE 19~~~~~
(Text): saw a dream
(Text):--I was an elementary student
(Text): and Ooshima-san was a high school student
(Text): My body,
(Text): hands, and feet, were all small
Takaya (thoughts): Thin
(Box): No matter how much I extend my arms, they won't reach Ooshima-san---
~~~~~PAGE 20~~~~~
Takaya (thoughts): ...Ooshima-san and an elementary student
Takaya (thoughts): Even I think that wouldn't work out...!! Bravo- What a dream...!!
Takaya: .....
(Box): I like that person
Takaya: ...Murayan, I... am going to confess to Ooshima-sensei tomorrow...
Takaya: ...Look at this
Takaya: I bookmarked this because I think this will suit Ooshima-san's wrists...
Murayan: Love offside!
~~~~~PAGE 21~~~~~
(Box): After 5 years, eventually, I'll catch up to you
Takaya: --Ooshima-sensei
Ooshima: What is it, Mizutani-kun?
(Box): Right now, I'm within spitting distance
Takaya: ...Umm today, if you have time after school---
Students: Waaaa, we're sorry!
Ooshima: N-no running in the corridor
Takaya: .....
Takaya: I'll help you
~~~~~PAGE 22~~~~~
Takaya: --Ooshima-sensei, you weren't wearing this watch yesterday, right?
~~~~~PAGE 23~~~~~
Ooshima: ? Aah, yes. My boyfriend gave it to me just yesterday.
Takaya: .........boyfriend?
Ooshima: Eh, yeah. We've been together for about 2 years---
Ooshima: W-what!? That's how it is so I'll be going now!
~~~~~PAGE 24~~~~~
Somebody: ...If you'll please excuse me
(Text): --Thus
(Tex): my short bonus. The stage is over*
*there are kanji that will make the above statements much clearer... but the scans I have are LQ so I can't read them. will update once I get my hands on HQ scans
Takaya (thoughts): Of course!! She has a boyfriend!! It's Ooshima-san after all
Takaya (thoughts): Why didn't I think of that
Takaya (thoughts): ...Even if 5 years pass
Takaya (thoughts): It's also the same for Ooshima-san
Takaya (thoughts): I
Takaya (thoughts) can never
Takaya (thoughts): catch up
~~~~~PAGE 25~~~~~
no text
~~~~~PAGE 26~~~~~
Ooshima: S-
Ooshima: Somehow, Takaya-kun seems different...?
(Text above Ooshima's hair): Maybe it's your eyes
Takaya: You think so?
Ooshima: Before, you used to be a very obedient and good kid... ...Is something troubling you?
Takaya: ..... I'm not a kid anymore
Takaya: And you're not my sensei anymore
Ooshima: !
~~~~~PAGE 27~~~~~
Ooshima: Y-
Ooshima: You're right
Ooshima: Sor------
Takaya: --But, if you want
Takaya: I could be a very obedient child
Takaya: If you like, I'll try to get closer to you
~~~~~PAGE 28-29~~~~~
Takaya: No matter what, even if I couldn't catch up
Takaya: I will still keep chasing after you
Takaya: ....During your teaching practice, I didn't have the courage
~~~~~PAGE 30~~~~~
Takaya: Ooshima-san
Takaya: I like you
(Box): Time
(Box): continues to tick

Natsume: Mitty and I promised to become each other's best friend

Natsume: Please don't talk to me right now or else I'll forget
Tomio: Ha!? You're going to our house next year!?

Shizuku: Thanks. I felt like dying from hunger
Takaya: It's full of uncles that I don't know...
Shizuku: That's right, Takaya. Apparently, this wedding is not for the bride
Shizuku: I requested this marriage ceremony to be as simple as possible, but they didn't approve
Takaya: I see... Too bad
Haru: Shizuku, let's take a picture before the ceremony
Haru: Yo, Takaya. You're as anti-social as ever*
* lit. fragment of friendliness, which is not friendly ahaha so I just translated it as anti-social
Shizuku: Haru, don't tell me you're still taking that chicken along
Haru: We can't start without this guy
Haru: You're beautiful, Shizuku. Like tofu
Haru: Anyway, my dad and your mom are fighting outside. We should stop them
Shizuku: Not again. Let's go, Haru
~~~~~PAGE 35~~~~~

Takaya: .....
Ooshima: .....
~~~~~PAGE 40~~~~~
Ooshima: ...Today
Ooshima: I'm sorry? Somehow I ended up
Ooshima: avoiding you...
Takaya: ...yeah, you did
Takaya: I knew you would be avoiding me
Ooshima: But, looking at Yoshida-kun and Mizutani-san
Ooshima: I didn't want to act awkward on this happy day...
Ooshima: ~~~~You see, I'm much older than you, Takaya-kun, and you're still in high school
Takaya: That day, on your wrist
Takaya: I thought of giving up when I saw that watch
Takaya: But right now
~~~~~PAGE 41~~~~~
Takaya: ...So
Takaya: So please
Takaya: don't run away from me

Takaya: ..........then I'll give up....
Ooshima: ...Okay, I understand

(Text): I'll reach out to you
(Text): Again and again
Ooshima (thoughts): So honest...!! As expected of Mizutani-san's brother...!!
Ooshima: W-wait a bit...
(Text near Ooshima): Yeah, Just wait, okay. I mean, what do I say to Mizutani-san
Takaya: Okay. I'll wait no matter how long
Takaya (thoughts): An Ooshima-san that's weak to pressure is also good

(Text): You unexpectedly continue to come
Takaya: I'm going forward

Ooshima: Eh, really? Oh, well, Takaya-kun is still a high school student
Takaya: I think it's too early.
Takaya: ...A partner, do you have one already?
Ooshima: !!
~~~~~PAGE 12~~~~~
Ooshima: Wh.... what do you mean!?
(Text): How rude!!
Ooshima: Or rather, what's with that habit of peering down at people
Ooshima: That sort of thing is not good!!
Takaya: Because before
Takaya: I had to look up to see
Takaya: my sister's and Ooshima-san's face
~~~~~PAGE 13~~~~~
Takaya: Now,
Takaya: I have to bend down to look at you
Somebody: ...Sensei
Somebody: Sensei
~~~~~PAGE 14~~~~~
Takaya: What are you doing in this place?
Ooshima: Waa that surprised me
Takaya: ...You're eating lunch?
Ooshima: Yeah, I ended up eating here
Takaya: That's tough...
Takaya: But nowadays, Ooshima-sensei is no longer easily bullied and is now popular among the students
(Box): Remembering the strict Ooshima-san
Takaya (flashback thoughts): A strict Ooshima-sensei is also good
Ooshima: That's because you made fun of me so much
Ooshima: You have club activities after, right?
Ooshima: Fufu that's youth. Good luck
~~~~~PAGE 15~~~~~
Takaya (thoughts): ...As usual, she treats me like a kid...
Takaya (thoughts): But like this is also fine...

Ooshima: Remembering the times when I was a high school student
~~~~~PAGE 16~~~~~
Ooshima: I
Ooshima: admired Yoshida-kun and Mizutani-san
Ooshima: Just like them, I wanted
Ooshima: to be able to directly say what I think
Takaya: ...Is that so?
(Text beside Ooshima): Thanks for the food
Ooshima: Fufufu. Saying exactly what you're thinking, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing but
Ooshima: to be able to convey what you feel takes courage
Ooshima: ...Probably because it was during my high school years when I really worked the hardest
Ooshima: that's why everything looked dazzling
~~~~~PAGE 17~~~~~
Takaya: ...Ooshima-san, I think you're still doing your best
Takaya: You're kind, and you always say properly the things that you have to say
Ooshima: ...You really are
Ooshima: Mizutani-san's brother, Takaya-kun
Ooshima: --Well!! I gotta go now
Ooshima: Takaya-kun, you also have club activities. You might get late---

Takaya: .....
(Box): I like that person
Takaya: ...Murayan, I... am going to confess to Ooshima-sensei tomorrow...

Murayan: Love offside!
~~~~~PAGE 21~~~~~
(Box): After 5 years, eventually, I'll catch up to you
Takaya: --Ooshima-sensei
Ooshima: What is it, Mizutani-kun?

~~~~~PAGE 26~~~~~
Ooshima: S-
Ooshima: Somehow, Takaya-kun seems different...?
(Text above Ooshima's hair): Maybe it's your eyes
Takaya: You think so?
Ooshima: Before, you used to be a very obedient and good kid... ...Is something troubling you?
Takaya: ..... I'm not a kid anymore
Takaya: And you're not my sensei anymore
Ooshima: !
~~~~~PAGE 27~~~~~
Ooshima: Y-
