迷雾中的蝴蝶/Kanojo wa Uso wo Aishisugiteru Chapter 17

Isn't this cover page cute? I like the slogan. "No Mush, No Life." : )



Narration by Aki: My ears are good and sensitive at picking sounds... therefore...

...I expected the sound coming from the TV in the living room to be audible...

The compare in the TV:" The last song for this evening, performed by Mari, is 'Missing'." One of the Crude Play member asks if she will really sing the song tonight (suggesting that she doesn't sing live and her songs are usually edited).

One of the Crude Play members is surprised that she is singing live without editing. He thought she dislike her songs unedited.
Shinya comments that Mari seems strong but she is acutally rather cowardly. Shinya wonders what stress Mari has faced to force her to sing live. Shun comments sarcastically that the very person who stressed her is talking nonsense. Shinya responds that as usual Shun sees everything. Others respond that they are impressed by her quality of voice...

Fans were impressed... Shinya comments that Mari will have difficulty singing the next bar. He wonders what will happen... Shun stares at Shinya...

Suddenly, Mari stops singing... They wonder whether she has forgotten the lyrics...

Shun stands up and comments: "Someone has to be responsible for finding fault in her work and pushes her to improve." He walks towards Mari...

Scene switches back to Aki and Riko... Aki pulls apart from Riko and stops kissing...
Aki:"I did not do what I promised (that is to keep to one kiss)... I seriously very much want to kiss you..." Riko blushes.

Riko:"It is good you can't do without it..." Aki is surprised at Riko's honesty. He sighs... (I think he is going to have a serious issue in controlling).

Scene switches back to Mari. Mari faints in Shun's arms.

Narration: Live broadcast studio is about 6 km from my home. It takes about 14 mins to reach there by train. At the same time when Mari faints, and my friend makes a move for my sake, I'm at home indulging in kissing Riko.

Takagi telling the reporters :"It is low blood pressure. Not to worry."
Reporter:"Is she pregnant?"
Takagi thought reporter was talking about Mari having Shun's child and he told him the thought is too ridiculous. Reporter flashes a photo of Mari with Aki at the restaurant and asks why they have a meeting in such an open place. He asks:"Isn't that Crude Play's Aki?"

In a serious note, Takagi tells the reporter that the truth of matter is simply that Mari fainted and Shun moved in immediately to help her. He tells the reporter that he is relying on him to report this.

Scene switches to Shun and Mari at the hospital.

Mari: "This is the worst..." Mari tries to light her cigarette but she can't. Shun offers to light hers using his.

Shun:"Are you still going out with him?"

Mari:"Well."



Shun:" Let's get married?"

Mari tells him in a serious tone that she refuses to talk about her private life. Shun replies that she seemed very scary. Mari retorts that since Aki likes her, she cannot be that disagreeable. Shun reminds her that currently, Aki has "mushroom" in his life and she is his new girlfriend. Mari insists that she is the one Aki loves.


Shun grabs Mari by the hand...

Scene switches to Shinya and the rest of Crude Play in their vehicle. Shinya tells them that Aki's face is likely to appear in tomorrow's paper if not for Shun who appear to help Mari. One of them asks why. The other explains that a photo of Mari and Aki meeting was taken and Takagi san didn't try hard enough to stop the reporter from reporting.

Shinya thinks that things will get interesting as there will also be rumours about Shun and Mari. He thinks that rumours will fly thick in the air as Shun, a member of Crude Play with Mari is more sensational than Mari with an unknown man. However, Shinya thinks that this, (Crude Play's Frontman's love affairs) will have an effect on Crude Play's popularity as Shun is the poster boy for Crude Play.

Scene switches back to Shun and Mari. Shun kissing Mari. Shun:"Let's get married."

Mari slaps Shun.

She tells him not to belittle her.


Scene switches back to Aki and Riko. Riko is talking on the phone with her parents. She tells them she is going home now. As Riko is talking, Aiki silently apologises to her by putting his palms together. (I like the wink)

After Riko hangs up, Aki apologises to her again. He tells her he will send her back and explain to her parents.

Riko suddenly shouts:"It is unnecessary!"

Confused, Aki asks why.

Riko: "What to say? I'm late because we kissed?"
Aki:"I can't say that. "
Riko:"Then what are you going to say?"
Aki:"I want to greet them formally and say that I am Ogasawara and I am dating your daughter. Ogasawara Aki."






Finally, I got this out. Thank you 腐女子for correcting my mistakes.
Many things happened in this chapter. Most importantly, Aki has told Riko who he is. I wonder whether Mari is pregnant and with whose child. I hope she is not or this can get quite complicated. Moreover, Aki's identity will be made known to the public. How will he deal with that? Also, I wonder what feelings does Shun have for Mari. I don't understand and see the need of him kissing her. Perhaps he is angry with her insisting that Aki likes her and not wanting to face reality or see him as a potential partner?

Tell me your thoughts.

  1. It's funny that I was reviewing Japanese words and when I hit on "Aki" I felt like I have to find your blog. And here it is^^!

    I somewhat didn't like how in this chapter everything is tangled and the perspectives are mixed, but after reading it twice I feel like it wasn't as complicated as I thought at the beginning. Still, I think it's different from previous ones, because so many things happened. In Aki's narration it was sometimes hinted that he and Mush will split, and maybe this moment is coming?
    If Mari really is pregnant, it's like Aki's wish from the first chapter would be fulfilled, but when he's changed his mind (if it's his child, but Takaragi is a potential father too). I wonder if this is what will make Aki and Mush split...
    There's also Shun and I honestly believe that he loved Mari for long, but since she was Aki's girlfriend and he's a 'fair guy', he didn't try to hit on her.
    I'm really curious how Riko will react... And we have to wait for a whole month to know! :(
    Anyway, thank you, thank you, thank you for summarising it^^!

    Btw. have you seen Aoki Kotomi's biography on http://www.kanouso.com/profile.html ? I'm surprised that she's only 30... Lol, I thought she must be older...

  2. I don't really like Shun that much, but I feel sorry for anyone who ends up with that slut Mari. Right now, she won't even know who the father of her child is. She'll sleep with anyone if it furthers her career.

  3. Bubu: Cheese did a writeup of both Kotomi Sensei and Toma Rei Sensei (Mangaka of Dawn of Arcana). They both look young! : ) Thanks for the link.

    Sigh... I really hope Mari is not pregnant.

  4. Hi Ankemaybe!

    I'm not sure but i think there might be some misinterpretation of what Shinya said in the car.

    I think it should be:
    Shinya: "If Shun didn't go out (to save mari), Aki might be on tmr's sports papers."

    CP1: "Howcome?"

    CP2: "A photo of Mari and Aki meeting was taken and Takagi san did not seem to have tried hard enough to stop the reporter from reporting it. However we do not know the truth. A scandal about Mari and Shun from CP is definitely more interesting that with an unknown man. To Shun, only Aki is important. However, is it so? Crude Play's Frontman's love affairs. That person (Shun) he should know that he's "selling" his face in this band does he?

    and the second last pic.

    Riko: "We are home late cause we were kiss!?"
    Aki: "EH!? I can't say that! What are you thinking?"
    Riko: "Then what?"
    Aki: "I really want to greet them formally. Saying: I'm Ogasawara and i am dating your daughter. Ogasawara Aki."

    I don't really understand this chapter. Was kind of like scratching my head after reading.

    I hope Mari is not pregnant too. Maybe Shun likes Mari all along but did not take any action as Aki is important to Shun and Shun told Mari that he wants to support Aki's new relationship. Him, making a move on Mari might be hitting two birds with one stone?

  5. 腐女子: Thank you for clarifying. I missed the "tara" which indicates supposition. Yes indeed that would mean what Shinya said about Shun going out to help Mari was for Aki.

    As for Riko's conversation, I am also very confused cos she said "Kisu shite takara" and not "dakara" which doesn't make sense to me. If it is a print error then it is "dakara which means "therefore".

    Your explanation is more possible. As the last bit, I was too tired to figure out who said what. : p

    Thanks a million. That clarifies alot.

  10. Hi Ankemaybe!

    What Riko said was: Kisu shiteta kara osouku nata te.

    Translate to: To say were kissing (してた - doing in past tense) therefore (から - linking word to give reason)we are home late.

    Hope this explanation helps you understand better ^^

  14. Thank you for the summary. This chapter was so confusing - Shun kissing Mari was wow, I did not see that coming. Like the rest of you I hope that Mari isn't pregnant.

  15. thanks a lot!! I really hope she is not pregnant

  16. I feel like Mush is too much in love with Aki, way more than he is with her, and I don't like it :(
    This feels so unfair. Maybe it frustrates me because usually, I know Aoki Kotomi's couples are always crazy in love.
    Oh man, I sound like someone who cares only about the romantic aspect, LOL

    ReplyDelete
  17. Freesiane: ^^ You r a die-hard romantic! Nice! My suspicion is that he will go through some form of trials (like forced separation or someone competing for Mush's attention and time) to realise that he really love her very much. I hope then, it will not be too late for them.

  20. Thank you for the summary!!! shun liking mari is pretty interesting, but there's a chance he's just really trying to protect Aki....I think she fainted from overworking herself.
