[On my birthday in July]
[Makoto gave me cologne]

[But look at the shape of this
thing...]
[Sometimes I don't understand his hobbies...^_^;]

Ito
[These last few days I'd only
been staring at it, letting it go to waste]
[This is the first time I've seen the

|At first, the image for the character of Kou-chan was going to be
the image for
|
|a character named Takizawa-kun of "Jr.", a story I wrote a long time
ago.
|
|*laughs* I wonder what became of it... There isn't even a trace of
it now. But
|
|he was really fun to draw. Cute boys are great, aren't they? The truth
is,
|
|originally, the easiest faces for me to draw were faces like Kou-chan's
and
|
|Nobuko's! Easy to draw and comfortable...^_^; "well drawn faces".
For girls.
|
|For boys, the easiest faces for me to draw are faces like Ito's or
Yoshirou's. Is
|
|Ito a man...?!

Makoto
[The way everyone in school's urging him on is kinda scary]
[It's still summer, even]*
(TN: o.o I'm not sure what Mako meant by that...maybe he's worried they'll urge him even more when it's the school year?)
Male Students in the lil Box
[Good luck, man!]
[Go for it!]
Kouhei in the lil Box
[Ok!]
Ito
[It's cause you're like the flower that can't be reached]
[It's the first time a guy confessed his love for you
so openly]
[Everyone's having fun with it]
(TN: "the flower that can't be reached" is a Japanese proverb to mean stuff that's hard to get, like a "girl" of such high caliber as Mako ^_^; So because "she's" so high caliber, none of the other guys dared to go after "her"!)
Makoto

words]

Yoshirou
[He wants Makoto-san all to himself]
[Isn't it cute?]

Ito
[It's a note from Kouhei]
[He says to wait for him at the courtyard after school]

Ito
[Anyway, he seems to want to settle it all]
[We spoke a lot this morning]
[After that, I heard Kouhei's story from everyone at the
club]
[When you weren't there]
Person from club
["Did you know he always falls in love with older girls?"]
<5>
People from club
["Seems he likes them if they're like his older sister"]
["Whaat? No waay!"]
["That's bad, man, it's a sister complex!"]

[It's already been 10 years and all]

Ito
[Plus, at first I just thought Kouhei was nothing but
a little brat but...]
[I still can't hate him]
[He's just too pure]
[I feel bad for him]
<4>
Ito
[On the other hand, there are some who'd ridicule him
for that]
[As for me...]

Ito
[Well, I just don't understand why people like the people
they like]

Makoto
[I said that you definitely can't come]
<4>
Ito
[Why!?]
Makoto
[What do you mean "Why?!"...]

Ito

Ito
[I just came without thinking...]
[But if they were told "I don't
want you to be there"...]
[Anyone would have done the same
thing, right?!]

it at that]

come?]
<3>
Kouhei
[What kind of person is that person?]
[Please tell me why you fell in love with that person!]
[I beg you!]
Ito
[Ge...Geh..!]
<4>
Makoto
[.....]
<5>
Makoto
[...That person is tall and wonderful]
(Note: Okay, from this point on, Makoto is not mentioning any gender because he can get away with that in Japanese -.-, but in English it was just sounding funky, so I went ahead and put "he". I think if the manga had been originally written in English, Mako would probably speak of "her" special person as a guy so as to at least not shock Kouhei, who'd probably find it shocking if Makoto liked a girl, since he's all pure and whatnot! @_@ )
