I"s Manga Translations Volume 6 I"s Chapter 46: The Real You Translated by Bill Adamas Brought to you by Jim Zubkavich and The Masakazu Katsura Shrine ======================================================================== page 7 SETO: What's the deal with Itsuki-chan? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Takezawa: I love her. SETO: He clearly said it.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He sure has confidence... I surely wouldn't be able to say it so clearly........... If there's one guy I want to be more like, it's this one. Teratani, on the other hand, He didn't have those feelings.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Teratani: HEY! ICHITAKA!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We got a booth! A karaoke booth! It's for Itsuki-chan's welcome party! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seto: Nah... I... ======================================================================== page 8 I''s Chapter 46: The Real You By Masakazu Katsura Translated by Bill Adams Sunday, August 22, 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SETO: I shouldn't have come, but Teratani's "Going Power" won me over. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why am I here? I shouldn't be... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry, Iori-chan. I have no direction within but to enjoy myself... ======================================================================== page 9 Teratani: Well, alright. Since it looks like Itsuki-chan will be a little late, why don't you pick the first song! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nami: Hmm... I will... let's see... Iori: Don't spoil it for everyone... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seto: Ah... Nami! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nami: Hm? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seto: What are you planning to sing? Nami: Oh, anything's OK with me! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seto: Could you not sing "Puffy"? ======================================================================= page 10 Nami: Eh? What? Seto? "Puffy!?" Is that going to be your song? Perhaps you would like to sing it together with me? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seto: No, not for me; it's for Itsuki. She likes that song recently. You know how it's bad form to do a song twice in one evening, right? Therefore... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It would be like her singing back at the beach... Wouldn't that be nice... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hm? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Uwa! What did I say to create this kind of atmosphere? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Someone: Why did he say that for? Someone: Isn't it a little suspicious to give one's innermost feelings like that? Someone: Suspicious, supicious ======================================================================= page 11 Nami: So, he knows something about the girl in the class, I suspect something naughty going on here!! Seto: Uh, that... Kida: What's going on, Seto!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Teratani: Are you guys stupid or something!? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Teratani: What's there to suspect? Itsuki-chan and he were childhood friends. Naturally, they're close to each other in a brother-sister kind of way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SETO: Oh... Teratani... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Teratini: Right, Ichitaka? Seto: Well.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Teratani: RIGHT!? ======================================================================= page 12 Seto: ..... Sure. SETO: Teratani's trying to rationalize my feelings (toward Itsuki;) he wouldn't talk bad about them... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Itsuki: 'Ello! [actually she said the '-chi wa' in 'konnichi wa'] Seto: ! Tanaka: Ah! Come in! Come in!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Itsuki: Let me take my coat off. It's incredibly cold out there. It even started snowing! Someone: Eh? It's snowing? SETO: Wha- What the? Just hearing her voice: why am I starting to tremble like this!? ======================================================================= page 13 I remember feeling like this when I realized how pretty she was during that art class. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've always been an idiot at home. The feeling wasn't as strong, then... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Itsuki: Oh, I have some news about the art teacher. He's going away back to teaching grade school and I'm going with him. SETO: What? All of a sudden I'm perplexed by her voice... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Someone: Eh? No Way! Someone: Nami, weren't you going after Takezawa Sensei? Nami: N- not so loud! SETO: Anyhow, my heartbeat isn't stopping,,, it's getting out of hand... ======================================================================= page 14 Someone: Wow! America, huh? Can you speak English fluently? I wish I could by the time the exams roll around.. Itsuki: Well, just enough to get by. Nami: So then, you'll be living by yourself? I'm kind of envious. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Itsuki: Nope, I'll be living with him. I really owe him for that. Someone: EH? Are you serious!? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kida: Ah, but surely you'll be rooming with other students as well, right? Itsuki: Nope. Nami: I don't believe this!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Isn't that dangerous? Miyoko: It's almost like cohabitation.. Kida: That's terrible, Itsuki-san!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SETO: I agree; it is terrible.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Teratani: You guys never learn-- ======================================================================= page 15 You all need to remember that she is merely going to be an apprentice to him. In order to do that she would have to share the same roof as him in order to determine how he thinks and feels. You guys are so quick to think such erotic thoughts... Itsuki: Wrong! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Teratani: Eh? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Itsuki: The reason I decided to live with him... ...is because he turned me into a woman! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seto: !! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Teratani: ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iori: ! ======================================================================= page 16 SETO: A- A woman!? Does that mean that she experienced her first time? How could she mean that and keep that face.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Teratani: NOOO!!! Kida: WAAAHHH!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miyoko: Hey! Hey! What was it like? How did you feel? Was it good? Iori: Mi-chan, Stop! This isn't the time for that!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Itsuki: Uh, I was only joking... (tee hee..) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Teratani: What the.. Whew! You sure had us going there for a minute-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seto: (That was not at all funny! This surprised heartbeat has changed.) ======================================================================= page 17 Itsuki: No, Sorry to disappoint, but this is a taboo matter. Actually, we'll be living like siblings... Seto: (Not at all...) Itsuki: Who knows, maybe we'll even get to be on TV game shows or even a cooking show. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I clearly said to him that my cooking is poor, but his cooking happens to be really tasty. He is quite the adult. Nami: What a guy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SETO: Ah! I thought she told me that cohabitating was terrible for her!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kida: But, It's a guy. Could there be some big problems with this? Teratani: Yeah, potentially big! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Itsuki: It won't be like that... I'm just a kid, I'm not his partner. ======================================================================= page 18 SETO: Look at her. Her face is full of anticipation! I can tell she's wanting to get back at me!! Well, FINE WITH ME!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seto: HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS MEANINGLESS DRIBBLE, HUH?!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ah... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I mean... we should get to the singing, right, guys? Itsuki: Moron... ======================================================================= page 19 Iori: yeah.. YEAH, YEAH! We went to a lot of expense to get this booth. Let's karaoke! Karaoke! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Someone: Oh, you're right! You're right!! Nami: Well, Itsuki, You're first! Yay! Itsuki: Eh? Me? Let's see then, what should I sing? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seto: Sing "Puffy." "Puffy!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Itsuki: Ah, I'm not in the mood to sing "Puffy" today. What else is there? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seto: I'm going to the kitchen!! ======================================================================= page 20 Koshinae: I kind of feel sorry for Seto-kun..,, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some time ago, Seto-kun... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...was really looking forward to Itsuki-chan singing "Puffy" again. I wonder what does that song means to you both.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seto: Ah... I could have handled that better... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What can I do in order to make ammends with her... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Takezawa: I love her. ======================================================================= page 21 SETO: This is too intense. I can't dwell on that guy. I'll just have to bear with it until this is over. This is bed... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seto: ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SETO: Ah... Now I'm acting awkward with Iori-chan as well, What am I going to do... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iori: Seto-kun, ======================================================================= page 22 You've looked unhapy ...recently... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maybe it's because of the caring side of the real you, Seto-kun. I can't think of any other reason. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hang in there. ======================================================================= page 23 SETO: Iori-chan... Please keep encouraging me... The little complication I was having was weighing myself down! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I realize now that it was simply my personality that was making me act as though I was walking on eggshells. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If I let my real self come out, I can perservere!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Itsuki: (Singing) Lately... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We feel... Seto: Ah. "Puffy.." =========================================================================== end
