Summary: Michiru is a normal high schooler who lives alone while her mom works abroad and considers her life pretty eventless. Then one day, her friend Chiya invites her to the new coffeehouse, Fun Fun Factory, to celebrate Michiru's birthday. But after eating the cute store-owner's specially made dessert, cake starts falling on Michiru's head! O.o
Disclaimer: "Fun Fun Factory" belongs to Watanabe-sensei and some other people at LaLa. This was translated by a fan for her friend who forced her to ^_^; I claim no rights to it!
Thanks to: World.altavista.com (^_^;;;;), the people at Otakon who were selling the volume so I could buy it, my NJ Star program, and my lil Japanese-English/English-Japanese dictionary, whom I call Nana! I COULDN'T HAVE DONIT WITHOUT YOU, MAN! ;_;
Notes: This translation is rough and general. I tried to include most everything that was said as exactly as I could with it still making sense ^_^; However, as we all know, Japanese and English don't always have equal phrases for everything, plus I'm still learning and stuff, so don't shoot me if I didn't translate the manga-ka's messy handwriting on the side in page three or something ^_^; And if you spot any mistakes, please email me and let me know niiicely so I can fixit? Thanks! Here we go!

pg. 9

(Note: Ok, for those who don't have the manga, this part is a lil confusing ^_^; They might look like they go together, but the next couple of dialogues are between people at different places in the store. So for example, it might sound like Kuon is talking to Tarumi, which wouldn't make sense considering what he just said, but the truth is Kuon is somewhere else in the store talking to someone else. @_@ Does that make sense?)
