SEX: Young Sunday Comics Special "Criminals We Are" The forbidden sex boundary, Make heaven or break? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Second chapter: Summariser's notes: This is a fairly approximate synopsis in places, as it taxed my ability to make any sense of the kanji text. On the other hand, it should give anyone a fairish idea of what this chapter of this beautiful manga was about. Namely: Kaho, who has injured one ankle in some accident, is given a lift by a youth (Senmei-kun?) to the snack bar where he works part time. His girlfriend comes in and makes a scene. Later, Kaho dozes off in class. She expresses an interest in changing classes, and the teacher proposes entering her for some exams - on payment of a fee. Later it emerges that the teacher has been up to some form of irregularity and Kaho's hopes are dashed. - G. Cowie; geoffc@shoujo.powernet.co.uk, http://users.powernet.co.uk/shoujo/ Page 139 [start of second chapter] The chapter title means "a crack" or "day after day" Page 142 The youth is asking Saito Kaho about her sprained ankle. The rest of the conversation mentions summer holidays. Page 143 Everyone can go to Okinawa in August for the study trip. Do you want to be at home then? Hey, the ball? Page 145 "Damm it!" "Who made that cutting remark?" Page 146 "Not me" "About that" Page 147 "It's going to Okinawa." "Who's going to Okinawa? What about the part-time job?" "What if I went to Okinawa?" Page 148 Hey, Kaho-chan, it's summer. (the rest of the page seems to be a flashback about 3 kids) Page 149 "yes,yes,it's summer. What about passing the summer in Okinawa?" The youth objects and asks if she wants a pizza. Page 151 (She wants an anchovy pizza and he complains about the cost. She says her foot hurts.) Page 152 "I just gave her a ride" "No, look!" His girlfiiend, Mika, comes in and makes a scene. He protests that he just gave Kaho a ride. Page 153 Chiaki-kun says that it's dangerous to give 2 people a ride. "Are you talking about Kaho?" Mika storms. Kaho asks what Mika knows about the accident. Somebody isn't telling the truth about it. "Lies!" says the girl at the bar. Page 154 Mika is wound up evem more and hits Kaho. Mika! Page 155 Kaho gets up and tells a disconcerted Mika that she shouldn't ill-treat the injured. Page 156 Kako departs amidst a call for her to wait and other recriminations. "It was delicious" she calls. Page 157 "Hey sweetie, want a ride?" Page 158 "Hey wait - bitch." Page 159 The teacher is calling out a series of students' names. Page 160 He calls out another name, and then Saito Kaho's. "Volume's on, Kaho" (laughter)[evidently this is very funny in Japanese...] Page 162 "Saito, shall we go? " (youth yawns) "Sorry, I have a date after this." "Who with?" "With Teacher" says Kaho. Page 163 It seems that Kaho has academic ambitions of moving up from class B to class A. Page164 The teacher is questioning her about her academic ambitions. Foreign study is mentioned. Page 165 "You don't like wearing school uniform, do you?" he says.

(he's making personal remarks) Page 169 The narrative is about tests and private instruction. Page 170 She is saying that she likes to dress the way she does. Asks teacher what she should bring. Page 171 A totally obscure remark. Page 174 It was a joke. Page 175 Some irregularity to do with the curiculum is being investigated. Page 176 What is it? Oh, Kaho! Something unusual is happening. Page 177 The teacher has been caught out in some procedural irregularity. "Teacher?" Page 178 It seems that the teacher has been caught cheating. It was a rumour.
