P.4
(filler page) 
P.5
(image of a boy and girl holding hands)
Tohko: --When I was a child, an angel lived next-door to me.
Tohko: He was small and a crybaby, but whenever I held his hand, he would smile 
like a flower. 
P.6
mother: --So anyway, since he plans to attend a Japanese university, he thought 
it would be a good idea to go to highschool here as well.
(a girl with medium length hair and glasses stares up in shock at the tall 
teenage boy smiling down at her)
Tohko: Uh.
mother: And that's why Wataru-kun has come back to Japan by himself.
mother: It's been 9 years, hasn't it? What a surprise!
mother: [he's turned into such a hunk!]

P.7
Tohko: No waaay!
Wataru: ... It's been a while, Tohko-chan.
Wataru: I'm not next-door this time, but in a nearby condo.
Wataru: [still be good to me, okay]
(The phrase in Japanese is "yoroshiku", which doesn't really have any 
counterpart in English. I translated it literally, so sorry if it sounds kinda 
weird. =p)
Tohko: Uh, ok.
Tohko: What did shrimpy little Wataru-chan eat to grow so much?!
mother: (to Wataru) [you'll join us for dinner, won't you?]
Tohko: He was like a girl before...
(Wataru glances at Tohko out of the corner of his eye, and her heart skips a 
beat)
{b-bump}
Tohko: Oh! 
P.8
Tohko: Ummm. I-it must be tough living all alone. Aren't your parents concerned?
Tohko: I'm a little flustered somehow.
Wataru: They've given me free reign basically.
Tohko: What on earth should I talk about........?
Wataru: Besides, there's still the promise you made to me.
Tohko: ........ Promise...?
Wataru: Toko-chan...? 
P.9
Tohko: ............?
Tohko: ...... Um.
Tohko: Huh?
(his eyes narrow)
Wataru: ... Don't tell me, you don't remember...?
Tohko: Eh, well...
Tohko: Yikes... What the?
Wataru: ... Huuuuh, I see.
Wataru: Hmmmmm.
Tohko: ! 
P.10
Wataru: Well, I guess it can't be helped, right?
Tohko: (cringing) Ah.
Wataru: After 9 years I guess one would forget, right?
Tohko: (cringing) Uh, sor...
Wataru: Of course, I didn't forget.
Tohko: (cringing) Urk.
Wataru: But don't you worry about it.
(he slams his hand against the wall next to her)
{bam}
Tohko: Hyee.
Wataru: (grinning evily) K?
Tohko: Who is this?!
Tohko: Eh, eheh... 
P.11
Tohko: Meeting the "angel" again after 9 years, he's completely transformed into 
a human male.
(Tohko eats lunch in her classroom at school, room 2-6, i.e. grade 2 group 6)
classmate: Childhood friend?
Tohko: Yeah...
(three girls swarm around her)
classmate: Hooo. This is the first I've heard about it. What kind of guy is he?! 
Is he cool??
classmate: [how nice]
classmate: [kyaa]
Tohko: Hmmmm. I guess... so. [he's huge anyway]
classmate: [kyaaa!] No way! You gotta introduce us!
Tohko: But he's younger. [by a year]
classmate: Even better! [wooooow]
Tohko: [what is?] 
P.12
Tohko: I don't think he really wants to hang out with me anymore.
Tohko: He probably just came by out of obligation. [though we used to be good 
friends]
Tohko: Basically, even though you could call us "childhood friends", we haven't 
been in contact for 9 years.
Tohko: He's like a complete stranger.
classmate: (disappointed) [awwww]
Tohko: Besides it looks like I've made him mad.
(she thinks back to dinner last night, and sitting next to him fearfully)
~Wataru: [hahaha]
~Tohko: I-I'm scared.
Tohko: For the whole time after that, I was surrounded by cold air.
Tohko: Did I really make such an important promise...?
Tohko: [I don't remember it at all]
Tohko: (gripping her head) [hmmm]
Tohko: I guess I've done something bad after all.
Tohko: But for him to hold me to such a childish promise now...!
voice: Tohko!! 
P.13
(Tohko and her female classmates all stare in astonishment at a tall, 
goodlooking boy standing in the doorway of their classroom)
Tohko: Wha?!
Wataru: Geez, I've been looking all over for you! Guide me to the lunch room. 
[I'm starving already]
Tohko: Wataru!!
Wataru: What, you've already eaten?! You brought a bentou??
(note: "bentou" = boxed lunch)
Wataru: That's dirty, thinking only of yourself!
(Tohko is "dumbfounded")
Tohko: Wha,
Tohko: wha, wha... 
P.14
Wataru: "Wha" what?
Tohko: Why are you here...?
Wataru: Because I transferred into this school, of course. Grade 1, group 5.
Tohko: Tr-transferred here?... You didn't say anything about that yesterday...
Tohko: No, more important than that,
Tohko: Wataru is
Tohko: this sort of person?!!
(he helps himself to what remains of her lunch)
Wataru: [there's some tamago-yaki left over. I'll eat it]
classmate: Tohko, Tohko, could he be...?
classmate: [he's very tall. hyaa]
Tohko: Ah, uhuh...
Wataru: {smile}
Wataru: I'm Nishizaki Wataru. Thanks for always taking care of Tohko. 
P.15
Wataru: It looks like Toko-chan is very forgetful, so she must cause you a lot 
of trouble.
Tohko: Grr.
Tohko: He's still angry!!
(the other girls swarm around Wataru)
classmate: Are you really a year younger? [you don't look it!]
classmate: You're so tall! [how many centimeters are you?!]
classmate: You just came back from overseas, right?
Wataru: [yeah]
classmate: [kyaa] Then you can speak foreign languages, right?
Wataru: German and French.
classmate: [kyaaa, that's so cool!]
Wataru: Hey, let's go, Tohko.
Tohko: Huh? Wh-where to?
Wataru: To the lunch room! [are you getting senile?]
Tohko: B-but, I already had a bento...
Wataru: I'M hungry! 
P.16
Tohko: What selfishness!
classmate: (waving) [seeya!]
classmate: [ahh, I'm so jealous of Tohko!]
classmate: [let's strangle her later]
(Tohko follows Wataru out of the classroom)
Tohko: Wait a minute.
Tohko: Our lunch room isn't very big you know. Even if we go right now, there 
will probably only be bread left...
Wataru: Hey.
Wataru: Does everyone wear a miniskirt at this school?
Tohko: Huh?
Tohko: No... But, lots of girls shorten their's... [by folding the waist]
Tohko: Why? Does it look weird?
Wataru: Totally!
(Tohko doubles over as his comment stabs into her back) 
P.17
Wataru: Sticking your chicken legs out like that.
{stab}
Wataru: It's not as if you have a body good enough to show off.
{stab}
Tohko: Agh.
Wataru: It's a disgrace really!
{stab}
Tohko: Oog.
Tohko: He doesn't have to be so blunt!
Tohko: Geez.
Tohko: By any chance, are you still mad about yesterday?
Tohko: I apologized, didn't I?? Forgive me already!
(he stares at her)
Tohko: ............
{b-bump...}
Wataru: (smiling) What makes you think I'm angry? 
P.18
Wataru: "Ne ni motteru dake."
Tohko: "Yokei shimatsu warui daro."
(I couldn't figure out these two lines, arg...)
(he tugs at her cheeks)
Tohko: [ow ow]
Wataru: [ahh, squishy]
Wataru: Can't be helped, right? I'm hurting too y'know.
Wataru: You better be prepared.
{smile}
Wataru: K?
Tohko: What does he mean "be prepared"?!
(he's still pulling on her cheeks)
Wataru: [hahaha, just like mochi]
Chikada: Miura-san?
Chikada: I was just on my way to the classroom. 
P.19
Tohko: Chikada-senpai!
Chikada: Could you distribute these to the disciplinary commitee members of each 
grade?
Chikada: I have to go to a club meeting today. [so I don't have the time]
(he hands her a stack of papers)
Tohko: [oh] Sure!
Chikada: (eyeing Wataru) ... I've never seen him before.
Chikada: Is he your boyfriend?
Tohko: Agh!
(she shakes her head vigorously)
Tohko: No way! Uh-uh!! It's not like that at all!
Chikada: Really? [hahaha] Anyway, thanks for the help!
Tohko: {haa haa = panting}
Tohko: ........ (she glances up at Wataru, who looks a little put out) 
P.20
Tohko: Wa-Wataru...?
(he starts down the hall)
Wataru: [ah] I'm hungry. Where do I go to buy food?
Tohko: 9 years ago...
Tohko: I acted the big sister and defended my weak and small next-door neighbor 
Wataru.
Tohko: (voice of little Wataru) "I love you Tohko-chan!"
Tohko: The smile that covered his crying face made him look just like an angel. 
P.21
Tohko: However.
(Wataru sits in Tohko's bedroom)
Wataru: I was never suited for those childish fights, and the thought of getting 
hurt didn't appeal to me. [it would've been troublesome]
Wataru: Anyway, if I started crying, you took care of the dirty work and got rid 
of them for me.
Wataru: All I had to do was smile cutely, and all the adults would take my side.
Wataru: Hey, I gotta use all the tools available to me, right?
Tohko: He was this sort of person?!
Tohko: You're... h-horrrible...
Tohko: What were my beautiful memories all about anyway?!
Wataru: I don't want to be told that by someone HEARTLESS like you.
Tohko: Urr! 
P.22
Tohko: L-like I was saying, if you just tell me what the promise was I'll 
remember it.
Tohko: Err, he's always holding this over my head.
Wataru: You have to remember it on your own.
{smiiile}
Wataru: Otherwise, don't you feel sorry for me for believing in it for 9 years?
Wataru: Man, it's a good thing I insisted on coming back to Japan.
Wataru: Just in time.
(he grabs her by the cheeks)
Tohko: ? ? ?
Wataru: You're becoming such a flake, Toko-chan.
Tohko: Whai?
Tohko: I'm going to be tortured like this until I remember?! Nooooo!
mother: (from downstairs) Wataru-kuun, Tohkoo! Dinner's ready!
Tohko: That ingrate! 
P.23
(at the dinner table)
Wataru: Sorry to barge in on you all like this.
mother: Not at all, the more the merrier! Help yourself, Wataru-kun.
Wataru: Thank you very much. With the sudden change of environment, I've lost my 
appetite a bit recently.
(Tohko spits out her drink)
Tohko: Pwa!
mother: [oh my]
Wataru: But coming here, the food is so delicious. I guess it's because it's 
made with love. [of course the flavor is excellent too]
Wataru: Women's home-cooked food really is the best.
Tohko: Liar, liar! At lunch today you bought 2 yakisoba breads, 3 croquette 
breads, 2 ham rolls,
Tohko: a mix sandwich, an egg sandwich, a chocolate korune, fried donuts, and 2 
chestnut breads!
mother: Well! [hohoho, there's plenty of extra helpings!]
Tohko: He also took the rest of my lunch, on top of that!
mother: Say, if that's the case then what are you doing for lunch?
Tohko: [urp... just remembering it all makes me nauseous]
Wataru: (looking sweet and innocent) Packaged breads.
mother: That's no good! It's important for you to eat well at this time in your 
life! 
P.24
mother: Tohko, starting from tomorrow make bentou lunches for Wataru as well.
Tohko: Ehh?!
(Wataru waves a hand in a polite gesture of protest)
Wataru: Oh, but I'm sure Tohko must be a very busy girl.
Tohko: Why do I have to?!
mother: Don't worry about it. She gets up every morning to make her own already.
Tohko: W-wait a sec...
mother: No arguments Tohko.
~Wataru: Prepare yourself.
Tohko: Demon.
(Wataru smirks at her evily)
~Wataru: I gotta use all the tools available to me. 
P.25
(later, Wataru waves a wrapped bentou in front of Tohko's face)
Wataru: Put more vegetables in. If you're just going to use frozen foods, I 
might as well make it myself.
Wataru: The tamago-yaki is so-so. It's like a dessert, too sweet.
Wataru: The worst is that pink sausage. I feel like I'm gonna break out in 
hives. Don't put it in again.
Tohko: (getting irritated) Hrr.
Tohko: ... Excuse me. Don't be so picky!
Wataru: I'm just telling you my preferences. 
P.26
Wataru: I'm not accustomed to being in Japan anymore, or living alone.
Wataru: What'll happen to my beautiful hair style if I'm malnourished?
Tohko: Little brat...
Wataru: Besides--
Wataru: you're the only one I say these sort of things to.
(he touches her lips with his hand)
Tohko: Wha...
{b-bu...mp} 
P.27
Wataru: (pointing at her chin) Pimple.
Tohko: Wha?! Wha-wha!
(she grabs her chin defensively)
Wataru: It's because you're always eating ready-made foods. [tsk tsk]
Tohko: Shut up! What about you......
(Wataru shows off his sparklingly clear skin)
Tohko: Hrmmm.
(Tohko holds her hand over her chin, redfaced)
Tohko: So what, it's just a symbol of adolescence.
guy: Yo, Nishizaki!
guy: Have you decided yet if you're joining the basketball club?
guy: We're on our way to the practice court right now. Want to come? [we can go 
together]
Wataru: Ah, sure. 
P.28
Wataru: Tohko, wait for me to go home.
Tohko: Why do I have to?!
Wataru: Cuz it looks like it's gonna rain, and you've got an umbrella.
Tohko: I'm not your convenience store!
Wataru: (walking away) Ahaha, that's a good one. 
P.29
(one of the guys glances at Tohko)
guy: Nishizaki, is that her? [the "childhood friend"]
Wataru: Yeah.
guy: [hah] ... You said she was older, so I was wondering what kind of person 
she'd be... This is it?
guy: Hnnn.
(Tohko's face turns red)
Tohko: ............ Well excuse me for being like I am!
Tohko: Don't compare me to Wataru, it's not as if I'm with him cause I want to 
be. 
P.30
Tohko: It's because I'm in a weak position that he can use me like this.
Tohko: What could the promise have been...?
Tohko: If I remember the promise, will he have no further use for me?
Tohko: If I'm no longer "profitable"...
(Tohko enters the building)
Tohko: ... Ahh, the rain's really pouring. [I can't ignore it any more] 
P.31
(she looks at her reflection in a window)
Tohko: ... I have such a muddled face.
Tohko: Hrm, the pimple.
Tohko: Maybe I should switch to contacts at least...
Tohko: Darnit.
(she peeks into the gym, where a bunch of guys are playing basketball)
guy: Time out!
guy: We need to change up players!
Tohko: He's so thoughtless! [geez!]
{ira ira = annoyance}
Tohko: How long does he plan to make me wait...??
(Wataru zips past another player with the ball)
guy: Nishizaki!
guy: Defense! 
P.32
(Wataru dunks)
Wataru: Oof.
guy: Arg!! Nishizaki, you punk!
guy: [damn it! where the hell's our defense?!]
(Tohko watches him in awe) 
P.33
Tohko: Wataru...
{b-bump b-bump}
guy: [alright, that's it for today!]
guy: [good game, guys!]
guy: [I'm starved] Wanna go get some ramen at Noritake?
guy: Yeah.
guy: You coming Nishizaki? [my treat]
Wataru: Nah, I'm...
(he sees Tohko, then smiles broadly)
Wataru: Tohko! I'll change clothes then I'll be right back!
Tohko: The smile is the only thing that's the same as back then.
(at the Miura home that evening)
mother: Tohko, your bento boxes haven't been put out.
Tohko: [ah] I'll wash them myself. 
P.34
Tohko: All he does is complain. I'm getting sick of...
(she opens up the lid of his box, and sees that it's been eaten clean)
Tohko: He's selfish all the time, but still...
(Tohko walks through the school hallway, looking through a book)
{para para = flip flip}
guy: What? You've even got her making bentous for you? [hoo]
guy: She's just your childhood friend, right? [that's all, right?]
girl: No way! If you had asked me I would've made them for you!
Wataru: Hahaha, thanks. 
P.35
(Wataru and a group of his friends are chatting nearby)
guy: Your childhood friend is pretty plain. [sorry, but it's true]
Wataru: Yeah, she's not what I expected, but she makes for a good "convenience 
store".
guy: (slapping him on the back) [hahaha, that's awful, man!]
Wataru: It's fine. Only I get to call her that.
(Tohko watches them, with bentou cookbooks in her hands)
(not completely sure about the dialogue on this page, but did my best) 
P.36
(Wataru bursts into Tohko's bedroom)
Wataru: Hey, Tohko!
Wataru: Why did you go home on your own?!
Wataru: Didn't I say we're going shopping for basketball shoes today?? 
P.37
Wataru: You really are forgetful, huh?
(he tugs on her cheek)
Tohko: Sh-shtop it.
Tohko: Even if I did go, I don't know anything about basketball, or where the 
stores are.
Tohko: I wouldn't be of much use to you.
Wataru: That's no problem, I already know what stores to go to.
Tohko: So there's no need for me, right?
Wataru: But I don't know the streets very well.
Tohko: For that, someone else could--
Wataru: If I say we're going, we're going!!
(he slams a hand down on her desk) 
P.38
(she looks away)
Wataru: Tohko...?
Tohko: ... I'm an idiot.
Tohko: The bentous too.
Wataru: Huh?
Tohko: Why do I feel so hurt?
Tohko: There are a lot of other girls who would be glad to make them for you.
Wataru: ... You hate doing it that much?
Tohko: Uh...
(she clenches a fist on the table)
Tohko: ..........
Wataru: ... Fine. I get it.
Tohko: !
(he walks out and shuts the door) 
P.39
Tohko: ... To tell the truth,
Tohko: being bossed around by him didn't actually bother me that much.
Tohko: Still--
~Wataru: She makes for a good convenience store.
~Wataru: Only I get to call her that.
Tohko: Seeing him laugh like that with his friends, I felt sad... 
P.40
Tohko: Extremely sad.
(the school lunch bell rings)
{kiin koon kaan koon}
(Tohko stands in the hallway clutching a bentou)
guy: Hey, Nishizaki! You're going to the vendor today, right? [if we don't 
hurry, we'll get stuck with bread]
(Wataru is standing further down the hall, next to another guy)
Tohko: Wa...
(a girl runs up to Wataru with a lunch-box)
girl: Wait, Nishizaki-kun! Here's your bentou. 
P.41
girl: It must be hard for you, living alone.
guy: [wha? only Nishizaki gets one??]
Tohko: (little Wataru) "...cha...n. Tohko-chan. My family's moving to some place 
called Germany. I don't want to say bye to you. I love you."
(she runs away distraught)
Tohko: I guess the only one who attached special importance to being childhood 
friends was me--
