Kimi ni Todoke chapter 56 summary/translation

The summary for this chapter from the blog that I usually use for my summaries isn't up yet (probably due to the disaster currently going on in Japan right now - keep these people in your thoughts) so I'm using a different blog this time: http://ameblo.jp/happy-more/entry-10829426309.html


on the cover: in a different city than usual, new feelings are at work

Oboreru Knife chapter 46 summary/translation

My favorite manga~
I read the raws for the most recent chapter on Billwang today. I thought I'd put up a translation and see if I get any kind of response - are people interested in reading chapter summaries for this manga?

The previous chapter ended with Ootomo saying to Natsume that maybe they should separate for a while...

Bokura ga Ita chapter 62

I read the raws for the newest chapter on Billwang today. Something's finally happening in this manga, so here's a summary:

Yano runs into the last train of the night with a coworker and the two exchange some small talk about the cherry blossoms. All of a sudden Yano feels a spell coming on (for his illness, I can't remember what it is) and jumps off the train (at a stop).

It's August, summer classes are over, it's almost obon season, and there's not much of summer left.
Sawako is going to Kazehaya's house today.

Chihayafuru volume 2 summary

...despite having JUST written a brief summary of Chihayafuru, I've decided to start posting detailed summaries of each volume, especially since J-Sis hasn't released a new chapter in nearly a year. I'm starting where J-Sis left off, which is v2 chapter 6.

Chihayafuru

This is a very very well written manga by Suetsugu Yuki, whom some may know as the author caught plagiarizing. This is her first work since the plagiarism incident, and I'm quite impressed with the story, with the characters, but most of all with the art. It won some big manga award too. All the Japanese raws can be found at http://www.raw-manga.com/2010/05/chihayafuruchihaya-full-manga-raw.html and I guarantee it is an awesome read.

Basically this story is about Chihaya, a pretty high school girl who is obsessed with the traditional Japanese card game, karuta.

Bokura ga Ita chapter 61

so I originally thought about doing a translation for Chapter 61, raws of which can be found on billwang. But after reading the chapter I got so annoyed, I don't feel like translating it anymore. I can pretty much sum up the whole chapter in 3 sentences anyway...BECAUSE NOTHING HAPPENED, just like NOTHING HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST 10 CHAPTERS.
ok here's what happened...

Kimi ni Todoke chapter 51 summary/translation

Again, here is a translation of chapter 51, this time taken from this blog: http://blog.goo.ne.jp/2bottles/e/dd8e010e2e1ad72e93eba2f1587ea056. No images, unfortunately, but it's a super cute chapter and I can't wait to see raws!

EDIT: Rayweny kindly forwarded me raws...http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=912326315 (Chinese)

It's summer vacation, hence summer classes...
Ever since the festival, Sawako is more comfortable with her classmates and is able to smoothly greet them, which makes her very happy.
When she sees Kazehaya, they both blush and greet each other, "good morning"
He asks her if the seat beside her is open, and sits down. Girls from other classes peek into their classroom and see the two of them together and whisper, "so they really are dating". Ayane overhears them and thinks to herself, "Sawako, they think you look like boyfriend and girlfriend!"
Kazehaya is done for the day because he's not taking the Modern Civilizations class, but Ayane and Sawako are, so they have one more class to go.

Kiss and Never Cry

This manga is probably not so under-the-radar, and I say this because it is written by Ogawa Yayoi, the author of Kimi wa Pet (a.k.a. Tramps like us). Again, Ogawa brings us a great, well written, well drawn manga, but I can't imagine that it's very popular, since no matter where I look, raws for this manga are only available up to v3, and scanlations are available up to v2 c8. Fear not fans who have an eye for high-caliber manga - Evil Flowers is resuming scanlations from c9!

Summary
Kuroki Michiru is a beautiful, young, extremely talented figure skater who has recently made the switch from competitive single's skating to pairs ice dancing. Over the course of the first 3 volumes, the readers slowly discover that in addition to being sexually abused by her step father,

Kimi ni Todoke chapter 50 summary/translation

I've translated into English a summary of ch50 from this blog http://178kisaragi.seesaa.net/article/162283166.html

If I close my eyes, the first person I think of is Kazehaya kun
Before I close my eyes, the last person I think of is the person I want to tell today's events to

On the way to school, Sawako tells Ayane and Chizu about Kazehaya kun coming over her house, and how he met her parents and ate dinner. The two girls were pretty surprised and sympathized with Sawako's dad ("poor dad", "Did he want to die?") and asked if Kazehaya was nervous. Sawako replies, yes he was nervous but so was she. Chizu asks if they went to her room, and Sawako replies "yes!!". The two girls are grinning and ask if they held hands, and Sawako tells them "yup!!"  To which they respond with many more questions; "you did? where? how?"
