Kinkyori Renai/Close Range Love Vol5

What an exciting week for me! XD

My head is still spinning with so many exciting developments from the various manga series I've been following. Gosh! Where do I start?!

Finally, Kinkyori Renai Vol 5 is out. How can I resist it?! : D

Some very exciting developments in Vol 5. Uni's childhood friend is back from overseas. He came back just to fulfill their childhood promise (they are espoused to each other?!). Needless to say, his entrance wreck havoc in Haruka and Uni's relationship. The volume ends with a cliffhanger. Haruka broke up with Uni! I need volume 6...

迷雾中的蝴蝶/Kanojo wa Uso wo Aishisugiteru Chapter 13

ok. Finally, I've done a summary of Chapter 13. Please understand my Japanese is limited and there may be some nuances of the language I have missed out and thus cause some misinterpretation. Thus, read at your own risk (You have been warned!!!) Please let me know if I'm wrong.

The beginning of the chapter tells us that Riko and Souta are great fans of Crude Play. They had once camped outside the concert hall (in the rain) 5 hours before concert time to buy tickets.

They could not get tickets and were left outside. Riko could hear the music. She was touched by Crude Play's distinct songs and Shinya's playing of the bass guitar.

Back to Riko's place. With Shinya sitting opposite her...

Not knowing Shinya's reason for visiting her, Riko is contemplating whether she can resist Shinya's seduction... Shinya was trying to tease her...

Shinya asks Riko to guess the number of musician debut per year? She thinks it is about 20. He tells her it is more than 400 and that 3 years later, only about 5 will survive.

Shinya tells Riko that being a successful musician is difficult. One needs to have a plan to survive in the music industry.

Shinya tells that Crude Play's bass was supposed to be Aki. Riko asks how is Aki like. Shinya says something like he is a moron. Riko looks at him angrily and accusingly and calls him a slanderer. : )

Shinya adds on to say that he thinks Aki is a real talent and ordinary person cannot understand his talent... (he is teasing her again). With a more serious expression, he adds that Aki can occasionally be really stupid and difficult to get to know...

Riko expresses that she likes Aki's music very much. Shinya expresses that he likes Aki's music very much too... (hmmm... I'm surprised at Shinya's serious expression when he says that... I wonder...)
Riko's handphone goes off. She has a message from Aki... Shinya guesses that it is from her boyfriend and that he wants to meet her... Riko is shocked and thinks he has supernatural powers...

Before Shinya leaves, he says to her that if she is serious in becoming a musician, for the next 3 years, she has to turn up when he calls for her. She has to place him before her boyfriend...

Aki is lost. He meets Souta and Yuichi. Souta is about to direct him when Yuichi interrupts and calls him a wondering beast. (: D he's so jealous...) Souta interrupts:"...he is Aki..." Aki stops him. He tells Souta that Riko is unaware of this yet and he wants to be the one to tell her...

Yuichi is confused. Yuichi declares that Shinya of Crude Play is going to be their producer. Seeing that Aki is not impressed, he claims that Riko is a fan of Crude Play especially Shinya's playing of the Bass... Souta tries to interrupt: " ...well, Riko likes Crude Play's... " (I suppose he's saying Aki's music. Sigh... Souta, you should shout it out!!!)

Yuichi adds on to say that Aki doesn't even know Riko's likes and dislikes... ~~~ Sigh... Yuichi is getting on my nerves. Aki just leave the place and go look for Riko. Tell her how u feel!!!

Back to Riko... She is thinking whether she should take Shinya's offer and give herself to music. But she feels lonely and unsettled just thinking about a life without Aki...

Shinya tries to convince her to do so...
Riko gives in...
Aki arrives and sees them. ~~~~interesting. maybe that will push Aki back to perform in Crude Play! Maybe he will have some confidence in his talent in music and stop running away from his music...

Bokutachi wa Shitte Shimatta 傻傻未知爱 Chapter 38

Yes! Finally, some lovey-doveyness (I'm sure Freesiane is cheering too : ))))!!!

Kotori is surprised to see Shitara. He is curious about who is her date for this festival. He asks to escort her... Kotori (blushes) declines (at the same time, she wishes Yukito to turn up quickly). Shitara mentions something about her waiting in the rain. Kotori is quick to say that she's fine. However, inside, she's getting concern and wondering why Yukito is so late. Shitara refused to take no for an answer grabs her hand...

Meanwhile, Yukito finally gets off from work. The colleague thank him for accommodating and helping out even though it was a last minute request. Yukito wonders how Kitori is, waiting in the rain. He rushes down to meet her. (Hurry Yukito!!!)

Back to Kotori, she's dragged along by Shitara. The rain stops. He laments that he's out of luck. XD (yeah buddy, tough luck). Kotori expresses that Shitara seems strange today. He seems pushy to her. He looks at her and says it is because of her... leans forward to kiss her... Kotori pushes him away.

She told him currently she has someone she really likes. She thank him for liking her and apologises for not being able to reciprocate.

Meanwhile, Yukito is looking around for Kotori. He calls her handphone but could not get her. He heads towards the temple...

Kotori wonders to the temple and still no sign of Yukito. She looks down and realises that her Kimono is soiled. Feeling sorry for herself and not wanting Yukito to see her with her solied Kimono, she bursts into tears...

Yukito calls out her name... (finally... about time). She refuses to come out from behind the pillar as she is conscious of her appearance due to the soiled kimono (girl??? please!!!)

Yukito mistaking her behaviour as anger, apologises for being late and for making her wait in the rain. He expresses that he understands it if she does not want to have anything to do with him. He resigns and concedes defeat. At the other end, Kotori wonders what he is talking about. He says he tries to call her but she refuses to pick up his calls... Kotori realises that she has left her handphone at home. (sigh... these 2 kids can be so ... I don't know... exasperating?!?)

He thinks that Kotori hates everything about him... Kotori quickly denies. She exclaims: "On the contrary, everything about u matters to me, even after the breakup!" She confesses that she likes every part and things concerning Yukito. (Way to go, girl!)

Both blush. Yukito is shocked that Kotori is so brave to express out her feelings. He feels embarassed that he could not express his true feelings. Yukito:"I like you alot, all along..."

Thank you sensei. Sigh... finally! I was giving up all hope and thankfully they have finally gotten together. Please resolve their misunderstanding (its so long ago I can't remember why they quarrelled)...
