[Free talk: I’m
surprised that this is out so the Chinese group is continuing it after all?
Maybe they just laid low for a while due to the licensing? Anyway, after this,
I’ll work on KOT 60.]
Narration: “January, it is now the start of the unified
national college exams.” Shouta’s mother calls out if he already got his exam
permit. Shouta shouts that he has it and he’s going! Everyone else is getting
ready for the exams. Sawako’s mother tells her to be careful on her way and
gambatte♡
Sawako says yes, and she’s going! Ayane holds the candy from
Pin on her lips then calls out that she’s going-! Narration: “Afterwards, on
February, the moment when everyone will formally face the challenge has arrived.”
Sawako greets Shouta a Happy Valentine’s day!!
She says that she bought chocolates this year and she thinks
that it ought to be very delicious. Holding the bag of choco, Shouta thanks her
and says that she even specially bought for him. She apologizes for taking his
time when he is obviously still studying. He says no, he actually thought that
he won’t have one this year.
“But...about that, I also wanted to see you...I’m so
happy--... It’s because we haven’t seen each other for several days that I felt
a bit embarrassed.” Sawako giggles and says, ya. They bid each other goodbye
and gambatte. So, while studying at home for the official college exams, even
if it just a short meeting, that is how they welcomed their third V-day.
[<- Note: Most universities in Japan have two rounds of
entrance exams, and applicants are given two chances to take the exams. The
first exam, which all students take at the same time, decides whether they get
into the university. The second round of exams is specific to the university
which the student wishes to attend. These exams determine what subjects a
student can study there. Source: factsanddetails.com]
Sawako gets a message from Chizuru on her phone. Chizuru
shows a picture of herself with a chocolate cupcake. She says that she did it
so next, she’ll give it to him!! Sawako is very happy about this. She thinks
that Chizuru is so cute and so amazing.
Then, it’s Ayane’s turn to report. Ayane wrote that she
passed and next, she’ll go to the school to report to the teacher. This made
Sawako happy that she exclaims that’s great-..! Narration: “The sakura [cherry
blossom] that belongs to Ayane was the first to bloom.”
Ayane smiles over Sawako’s congratulations. She takes out
the candy from her pocket and looks at it. She wonders if she’ll tell Pin that
she treated it as a good luck charm. She imagines Pin laughing that it is his
contribution!!! Ayane laughs and exclaims that it’s possible that he’ll say it.
She thinks that even if he said it, she cannot refute it
because if it weren’t for him, she had given up earlier on. “If I tell him that
I passed, what would he say to me?” On the way to school, she passes by a
chocolate store with a V-day advertisement. Ayane looks shocked for it is
indeed-!!!
She gulps then becomes embarrassed that she gave Pin choco
during the first and second year. She wonders about buying it as a thank you
gift, or maybe act indifferent but then, how can she do that. So, to give or
not to give!!? She glances at the advertisement again.
She screams that she cannot do it and runs off. This made a
kid ask his mother what’s up with that girl. His mother says that it is a
girl’s spring. At the school’s shoe lockers, Ayane thinks that this is
shameless Pin [she’s talking about] and it is highly possible that he’ll hold
out his hand and ask where his choco is.
She ponders on there or not, she should have bought one and
just say, ‘it cannot be helped, so I’ll give it to you’ or ‘it is actually for
my father’... Her thoughts are interrupted by Chigusa who asks if she came to
report about the exam results. Ayane says yes.
Chigusa congratulates her. Giving her an envelope with the
note ‘for Ayane’ in front, she says to treat it as a congratulation for making
the list. Ayane gives her a bag full of potato chips and says that Chigusa
might need it since she is working on the graduation book.
Chigusa declines but Ayane kept on insisting until she tells
her that it is hush money. Finally taking the chips, Chigusa tells her to relax
and assures her that her lips are sealed. Blushing Ayane thanks her. Then, she
goes to the toilet to look at the photos of herself and Pin together. This made
Ayane really happy as she mentally thanks Chigusa.
Ayane is teary-eyed upon seeing herself and Pin laughing in
a group photo. She put the photos aside since it might got wet. She wonders how
many more times are left. “Three? After reporting, two more...? *recalls their
bickering before* Are the opportunities for us to meet are only these many...?”
Then, she recalls him looking at her during the festival.
As she heads upstairs to the faculty office, Ayane thinks
that she couldn’t for she is going to cry and she couldn’t endure it because he’ll
definitely become aware of it this time. Inside the faculty room, Pin hears
something. He heads out and no one is around.
He calls out if anyone is there and it’s all quiet. He
angrily slams the door and shouts that unexpectedly, there’s nothing!! He looks
at the clock and it is already 2pm. He keeps on bumming around anxiously. He
perks up when a girl calls out and says that she passed her first choice. Pin
exclaims that’s great and he knew that she can do it.
After writing that she had passed and told her to take care,
he asks if she has seen Ayane. The girl is puzzled and asks if she wasn’t here.
After the girl left, Pin thinks that the list should be release today or did
she didn’t make it to the list. It is already 4:04pm. He decides to wait for a
while.
At the train station, Ayane is looking at her and Pin’s
pictures. Kent passes by and asks her what she is doing in this kind of place.
He says that as for him, it is because someone said that she’ll give him
chocolates so he came to accept them but of course, he’ll return it [on White
day].
Ayane laughs and says that it is because he’s sincere and
nice. Kent says that what she said is quite...correct♡ He
mentions that last year was special because he only accepted a honmei [true
love] choco and he’s so happy. Ayane looks flustered because she obviously did
a cruel thing yet he is willing to view it as a happy memory.
Kent realizes something that he exclaims if she went to
school and she’s on her way home!? “The result!? Is it announced!?” She smiles
and says that she passed. Kent holds her hands and exclaims that’s great, and
congratulations. She thanks him. He notices that she’s holding some pictures.
She informs him that it is pictures during the hatsumode
that Chigusa gave her. He smiles and sits beside her. He says that actually, he
was also there. He tells her that he saw her and the others. Ayane says that
she didn’t know and how come he didn’t come over and greet them.
Kent says that he thought, forget it, it feels that it
already doesn’t matter. “Upon seeing your expression that I have never seen
before, I relaxed and felt at ease. But perhaps, throughout this life, you are
the girl whom I like the most!
...*Ayane is surprised over that ‘never seen before
expression’* When we broke up, do you still remember what I told you? *he told
her to remember that he deeply loves her and next time, find someone whom
she’ll really like!!* That’s great, Ayane!”
Ayane says geez, he’s such a nice person. Kent laughs and
says that is his strong point. Ayane says thanks to him... She thinks that she
has someone she likes for she always thought that it is impossible for someone
to like her and for her to like someone but the one she fallen in love with...
Kent asks if she gave choco. She says that she couldn’t and
she still hasn’t told him that she passed. Kent exclaims that isn’t good since
he’s [Pin] waiting for her!! “While there’s still time, quickly go!” She looks
surprised. Upon noticing that Kent is looking serious, she says yes.
Soon, Pin looks at the clock and it is already 6:35pm. He
groans. There is an erase in a paper bag on the table. While running off, Ayane
wonders if she said that it is okay even if she cannot endure it. “In the end,
I’m still very afraid. Afraid of being rejected. Afraid of the result. It is
the same with the college entrance exam, I’m so afraid!”
She calls Chizuru on the phone. Chizuru congratulates her.
Ayane asks her to cheer her up and whatever it is, give her strength. This
puzzles Chizuru who blurts out stupid-stupid..stinky little brat!! Ayane
exclaims that is scolding.
She laughs and says don’t say it anymore because Chizuru is
right, she is stupid and a stinky brat. She thanks Chizuru for she had livened
up. Chizuru asks her if she’ll feel lonely in Tokyo all by herself. Ayane says
no, she’ll strive hard...
Then, she calls Sawako who congratulates her. Ayane apologizes
for interrupting her studies but can she say ‘gambatte’ to her. After looking
surprised, Sawako exclaims, “...gambatte! Ayane, gambatte, gambatte,
gambatte...!” Ayane thanks her.
Ayane wipes her tears and says that it’s great that she got
to meet everyone. Narration: “...Sawako who can calmly accept whoever Kazehaya
likes. Chi-chan who knows that both sides [her and Ryu] find it difficult. Kent
who knew that I’m going to talk about a break up yet he still willingly faced
me...
...everyone around me didn’t bother to think of the outcome.
Definitely, in their eyes, I’m like an idiot. Very childish.” She passes by the
choco shop and sees the advertisement again. She gets a wrapped box and tells
the cashier that she’ll buy it.
Narration: “But, they are what I long to be. Can I also
become like everyone?” She arrives at the faculty room but she was informed
that Pin had already left. Just when the man is saying that Pin left very late,
Ayane quickly shouts that she’s leaving. She heads to Pin’s apartment.
Narration: “Anyway, I’m a stupid brat but you can understand
that, right? *walks upstairs* Would you say, it is alright even if I’m a stupid
brat? Nah, even if I cannot endure it, definitely, no matter what words are
said, no matter what is the outcome, can you accept everything?”
Ayane stands in front of the door. Then, she holds out her
finger on the door bell. Ding dong. Pin opens the door. Ayane blushes. “If it
is the first time for me to be rejected, I chose Pin-chan.”
Comment: This
Vday is a make or break for Ayane. Will it be a yes or a no? The whole chapter
is all about Ayane’s hesitations, thoughts, etc. The part that tears me up is
the scene with Kent. Ugh...he’s so nice. Anyway, Ayane passed the exam so, will
her luck hold up? Scans by 夜莺工作室

Thank you thank you so much for the summary :)
ReplyDeleteMay I just say, Pin with his hair down is so hot!!!
Thanks for reading, Anna ^-^
DeleteIndeed. Though, it seems that he prefers his hair to be 'all up and spiky' =P
Thanks so much Kat! i hope Kent finds a really awesome girl he deserves it
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Linda ^-^
DeleteYa, hopefully, the mangaka will show it.
Wow!!! Thank you so much! ��
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, tenshii_chan ^-^
DeleteHey because im obviously not from Japan,I've been searching chapters 113+ for so long but I can't find anything,are the chapters not even translated or something?because i've seen people talking about 113 for months but I still can't find an english translation.
ReplyDeletep.s. You really help with what you're doing here but I really want to find a way to actually get the manga's on my hands at the very least.
hmhmhm, are you talking about published manga or scanlation? If it is licensed published manga, it usually takes a longer time than the Japanese release. It is the same with Chinese licensed published manga.
DeleteEnglish scanlation will depend on the scanlators.
Well even though i've done research and found out that volume 27 goes up to 112 then im guessing volume 28 goes up to 119 or something but it's really confusing and there are barely any blogs or forums that help the situation,i wanna know which was the last jap chapter for example because i started the anime/manga in hopes that it has ended but apparently its not so now im heartbroken.
DeleteIts hilarious how we're in the same situation!
DeleteI caught up with the manga today and have been searching for that chapter 113 quite insistently. As you said, there are no forums, no nothing - which is especially weird since this manga is quite popular! Or it used to, at least.
Its also odd that the scanlator group (YKGE Scans) hasn't uploaded a chapter in about two months. Their past history shows they uploaded one to two KNT manga chapters per month. Its really odd because since the released of ch. 112, they haven't posted anything on their website or Facebook page either. Like yourself, I'm very confused as to what is happening. I don't know if they dropped the manga, if they're on a break, nothing. The fact that there's no update, no forums, no idea as to what's going on is both sad and perplexing :/
hmhmhm, according to the official webpage, volume 29 starts at chapter 116. <- http://www.s-manga.net/omf/omf_978-4-08-845788-8.html
DeleteBased on updates in baka manga, each volume has four chapters.
Chapter 116 seems to be released on February/March issue of betsuma = assuming there was on break. I think the latest chapter in Japan is 120. There was no chapter this month due to illness according to ANN.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-07-13/kimi-ni-todoke-manga-takes-1-month-break-enters-final-arc/.118735
Hope those information helps ^^
Thanks,anyway I guess since there wont be any translations considering they've kind of given up I'm looking forward to your *spoilers* if you actually continue your kimi no todoke blogs
DeleteNo problem ^^
DeleteHaha, well, the problem isn't me...it's the Chinese scanlators. ^^; If they release something new and the English scanlation hasn't catch up yet, I'll work on it ^^
OMG!!! thank youuuu <3 <3 when will the next chapter be???
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Anonymous ^^
DeleteUnfortunately, I don't know. It depends on the Chinese scanlator's release.
I heard somewhere that the last KNT arc was starting soon... :'(
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody know about this, about whether the manga will end after all the characters finish high school?
Yes, caramelarose, according to ANN:
Deletehttp://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-07-13/kimi-ni-todoke-manga-takes-1-month-break-enters-final-arc/.118735
Most likely. It depends if the latest chapter is about graduation. Then, the last arc would be fast breezing through the college years like what Sukitte Ii na yo is currently doing.
Oh I see. thanks :) I don't really read much manga so I wouldn't know.. but do you know if last arcs consist of a single volume? Or if they extend into multiple volumes?
DeleteNo problem ^^
DeleteI think it depends. There are four chapters per volume. The winter vacation is one volume but summer vacation is more than one volume.
i'm guessing the next chapter is about pin and ayane. which i don't want. i want to read chizuru and ryu.
ReplyDeletewait did you say chinese? the writer of kimi ni todoke was it japanese
Yes, from what I heard, Anonymous.
DeleteYup, the mangaka is Japanese but I summarize from Chinese scanlations. I cannot read Japanese. ^^;
Finally!! Pin looks absolutely adorable with his towel and hair down :) It is clear that Ayane had to think of the outcome more than the others, after all she fell for a teacher. She is being a bit harsh on herself but despite that she's still running to his place. That's really awesome of her.
ReplyDeletePin was waiting for her and even asks for her. Does he even realise that he is still singling her out. I'm so happy to see that little bit because it seems to mean a lot, although it might also be nothing at all.
Indeed, Crimson sky. It does seem to be a 'do it rather than regret later' kind of thing.
DeleteTrue. It also might mean that for her not to come = she flunked.
Ah yeah he might be worried as a teacher too.. I tend to forget these details in my search for red flags- Hints of his feelings for Ayane :P
DeleteHehe ^^
DeleteOH MY GOD! Just found your blog with those releases. I'm so glad. Thank you so much ! it takes sooooooo long for new chapters to be translated... (like more than 3 months to be able to read the next chapter of the same book...) so i'm really really thankful or all the hard work you've been doing here! Just hoped i'd find this sooner.
ReplyDeleteBesides the books are taking so much time to come out that I can't read enough of this story that I fell in love with!
Thank you again!
Looking forward to the next chapters (sorry if my english isn't perfect :/ i'm french)
Thanks for reading and the comment, Unknown ^-^
