Title Page


Here we have a giant bulletin board, with Godai pinned to it (by his shirt).
Above him, a picture of Yagami looking down at him is pinned, while to the
right is a picture of Kyoko facing away, but looking towards him.  Her
broom handle is also visible.  Godai is striking a nonchalant pose, with his
arms crossed.



Title:
   PART <heart mark> 4            #PART <heart mark> 4#


   Heart                          kokoro


[MWD][ This could alternatively be translated as "heart", but I preferred
      "spirit".  Mind you, this is not the "ghost" meaning of spirit. ]


[TM] [ Since this is a reference to the novel by Natsume Soseki, it might be 
      interesting to see how the title of that novel has been translated. Does
      anyone know?]


[BC] [Hm, I'm not so sure.  I'm one who falls into the "Heart" camp,
      especially because of the prominence of the heart symbol in
      the story (among other reasons).]


[MWD][After a reread, I have to agree with you.  Especially after the
      "watashi ha godai-sensei no kokoro ga shiritai no desu." speech on
      p78.  Although this reads almost closer to "feelings"...]


[YS] [A search in the UT library system on-line catalog system turned up
      nothing useful.  The book is under "Kokoro", and no translations are
      made.
      I personally think "Heart" is better than "Spirit", but as Michael
      pointed out, the meaning used in the chapter is closer to "Feeling"...


      Incidentally, UT has a Hebrew version of this novel.  Just thought that
      was interesting  ^_^. ]


[YS] [This is mostly just background info, but what happens in the story is
      that "I" moves in to this boarding house, since he has a friend there (K).
      During the story, "I" begins to be a little repulsed by the pensive,
      philosophical ways of K (I believe K was the son of a Buddhist temple
      monk).  It also seemed to "I" that K wasn't interested in women, because
      of various things.


      However, "I" is surprised to find out that K was beginning to change, and
      finds out (from K) that K is in love with the "daughter".


      As time passes, the "daughter" also shows signs of closeness towards K,
      as well as "I".  "I" also finds out that K plans to propose to her.


      Right before that happens, when both K and the "daughter" are not home,
      "I" goes to the "widow", and asks for her daughter, to which the "widow"
      says yes.


      I can't remember if it was right after that, or not, but K commits
      suicide in his room...


      And "I" marries the "daughter", but for the rest of his life, he basically
      lives like a hermit, regretting what had happened and living in
      remorse.  (Incidentally, the "daughter" never knows why K commits
      suicide, and never finds out.  "I" thinks about telling her so many times,
      but can't, since he doesn't want to make her unhappy, and take away from
      her happy life.)]

A shot of the top of Yagami's (Kyoko's former) High School
with the school clock just off-center.
It currently reads about 10:20.  (In the regular compilation,
there's a "21" tilted counter-clockwise to the right of the
clock.  I suspect this is something the publisher inserted
during a printing, and it was never removed.)


Narration:

Godai-sensei (off-panel):
   Okay, that's enough.           hai, KEKKOU desu.


2
The scene changes to the classroom where Godai is apparently
teaching Japanese lit.  Godai is standing, looking at his
open textbook.  Another student is standing up (presumably
in response to what Godai says here).  On the board is
written, from right to left, the author and name of the text
they're reading.


Writing on board:
   Natsume Souseki                NATSUME SOUSEKI


   Heart                          kokoro


Godai-sensei:

                                  YONde kudasai.

Yamashita (standing up):
   Okay.                          hai.

3
Close-up head profile of Godai, who either is sleeping or is
looking down.


[YS]  [I think he's supposed to be thinking about what he's narrating at the
       moment ^_^.]


Godai-sensei (narrating):
   The text is the abridged       KYOUZAI     ha   SOUSEKI
   version of Souseki's           teaching materials

[YS]  [In Japanese, the volumes are either <JYOU> and <GE> ("up" and "down",
      respectively), or they're <JYOU>, <CHUU> and <GE> ("up", "middle", and
      "down", respectively).


      In this particular case, it's the last of 3 volumes.  Why do I know?
      Because I have the book ^_^;;]


Narration:
   [The story] can roughly be     kore ha oomaka ni Iu to ----
   [summarized] as --             this     roughly  say


4
Now we have a diagram showing four shapes with various
notations.  The shapes, which look like two-level snowmen,
are supposed to represent people in the story.  There are
three levels in the diagram, with "people" at each level.
Inside the "people" are notations as well.

The scene shifts to the interior of a "fictional" medieval
(Japanese) inn.  A gentleman dressed in a kimono with
square patterns on it (and who looks astonishingly like
Yotsuya-san) is speaking with the presumed manager/widow.


Narration:
   The "I" character, before      "WATASHI" naru JINBUTSU
   his friend K does...             I/me         character

                                  cross/go over



"Watashi":
   Madam, please [let me marry]   OKUsan,        oJOUsan
   your daughter.                 madam (hum)    daughter (hum)

[BC] [Lit:  Madam, please give me your daughter.]


Manager/Widow:
   Very well, I will allow it.    yogozansu, sashiagemashou.
                                             shall-give (hon)


[YS]  [^_^;;  <yogozansu> == <you gozaimasu> == "it is that it is well"
       It's an old form of speech, actually somewhat informal.]


6
The scene shifts back to class, from Godai's point of view.
Yamashita's evidently still reading.  The sensei is
observing from the back of the class.


Narration:
   And so, as a result,           de,     KEKKA TEKI ni #K#

Godai looks back towards the blackboard, blushing.  Everything else
besides Godai and Yagami are "shadowed out".  Yagami is still staring at
Godai.

   Goodbye, Godai-sensei!         GODAI SENSEI, sayo--nara.

Continuation of the flashback.  Godai is confused.  Yagami has run past
Godai, out in front.  On the back of Godai's shirt, where Yagami hit him,
is a heart-shaped mark.


Godai:
   ?                              ?

Godai continues lecturing to the class.  He looks rather nervous.
Yagami is still staring at Godai.  One girl in the back leans over to
talk to the girl in front of her. There is a girl with her head down,
fast asleep.  
[BC] Guess Godai's not all that engaging a teach. B-)



Godai [in wavery, nervous word balloons]:
   Er, what this says is,         e~to,  iu  koto  de,

Kyoko is outside doing laundry.  She is holding up a shirt and
looking at it.  In a foreground close-up, we see that it is one of
Godai's shirts, and has a large heart mark on it.


Kyoko:
   Hmmmmm.                        fu--n.

Kyoko bends over the washer and begins soaking the shirt and
trying to wash out the heart.


Kyoko:                                 __
   This kind of prank             kono te no itazuratte,

   it?                            cannot die out

A close-up of her hands and the suds, as the soap slowly
removes the heart.


Kyoko:
   Oh, the paint on this red      a--a, AKA    E no GU

Now a bust shot of Kyoko.  She exhales as she continues
washing the shirt.


Kyoko:

   stuck it on him...                       stick (annoyed)
                                  kashira ......

The scene shifts back to a high shot of the school exterior.
It's now about 10:40, according to the clock, and the break
bell is chiming.

A shot of Yagami's classroom.  Girls are milling about.  It
also looks like there's steam in the room.  Either that or
ghostly, inchoate girls are wandering about.  There are three
talking with Yagami.  One, with a ponytail, is standing akimbo
and looking at Yagami.  Another is standing behind Yagami with
her arms crossed at the waist.  Finally, the third is sitting
backwards in a chair with her legs crossed, resting her chin
on her hand.  Yagami, roughly centered in the picture, is
sitting down with her hands clasped in front of her, as
though in supplication.


Ponytailed girl:
   Hooold on, Yagami are you      chottoo, YAGAMI HONKI~~?
   for real??                     waitaminue      serious

                                     taste        (?)

The point-of-view has changed slightly.  It has moved closer
to Yagami, who is still the center of attention, but it has
shifted about 90 degrees horizontally and the same amount
vertically.  Yagami's still looking "love-struck."  The girl
who had her hands crossed in front of her is now standing
akimbo.  The sitting girl's staring at Yagami.


Yagami:
   He's not a good-for-           saenai n ja nai no ......
   nothing ....                   unskilled


   He's enduring a painful/       KARE ha tsurai KAKO ni

Newly-akimbo girl:
   What's that supposed           nan ja sorya.
   to mean?

Now the scene changes as Godai is imagined in a totally dark
place, with these flaming balls (three of them) hovering
around him.


Yagami (off-panel):
   He's training (as a teacher)   SHInda KOIBITO no  BOKOU

Inside the room.  We see that the teacher is chewing out Godai.
A few other faculty members are also in the room, each minding his own
business.

Godai is walking in the hallway towards the reader.  He has his
hand to his head, looking a little depressed.  Three girls are
seen in the background.


Godai:

Kyoko is standing with her broom in its customary location.
She's looking at someone who has returned home.  Her profile
blots out the right portion of the second panel, and the
broom covers part of the fifth.  This panel has no borders.


Kyoko:
   Welcome h- ....                oKAErinasa ......

The scene shifts to show the reader just what startled Kyoko:
Godai, looking somewhat sheepish, has four girls in tow --
Yagami and her cronies.


Godai:
   I'm home...                    tadaima ......
                                   now

While Kyoko and Godai talk to each other, so do Yagami's three
friends.  Yagami is looking on with a look of great sorrow at
the pain that Godai is clearly suffering due to TMW....

Yagami and the long-haired girl can be seen sitting at the table.
Godai is opening a bag of chips.  Yagami is looking around at the
room.


Yagami:
   (It's a room that lacks flavor (AJI   mo SOkKE   mo IROKE     mo nai
    and excitement and even        flavor   warmth     coloring
    a woman's touch, huh)         HEYA  da na--.)
                                  room


  ,
      huh.
[YS] [<AJI> is more of a "flavor"...  It's hard to explain, but it's not
      saying that the room is in bad taste, it's saying the room lacks
      "flavor"...  No decorations, etc.


      And <SOkKE> is really just part of the phrase <AJI mo SOkKE mo...>.  I
      don't think it's "without taste or warmth" as much as it is just "plain
      and boring".


      <IROKE> refers to having hints here and there of a woman visiting, or
      living there, which, of course, is lacking ^_^;;  So it's really close
      to the comment in the next panel.]

The long-haired girl and Yagami lean together, whispering.  Godai tries
to look stoic, with a bead of sweat running down his face.  The rest
of the background is grayed out to put the characters in relief.

forward towards the girls.  The girls, quite rightly, are still rather
startled.

Yotsuya has taken a seat at the table.  One girl seems to
be amused.  The other's not so sure.

The "someone" is Kyoko, who is carrying a tray of glasses
filled with ice and tea in a border-less panel.  Accompanying
her is Ichinose, who is smiling.  She looks like she's
surveying Godai's new friends.


Kyoko:

A shot of the table, with Godai and Kyoko talking as Yagami
looks on.  A bead of sweat flies off Godai, who has his right hand
against his head.  The other girls are busy chatting amongst
themselves.


Godai:
   Ah, th-thank you,              a do, doumo sumimasen,

Kyoko:

          to the white shirt worn with a business suit.]

Godai looks a little confused as Kyoko explains happily.
Yagami looks upset.  In the background, Yotsuya is pulling
the sides of his eyes apart, amusing the other girls.


SFX:
   `ha-- ha ha'                   `kya--hahaha'

The class members look back at Yagami, who is staring at Godai.
Godai has a dumb-found look on his face.  The girl that had the
20-minute crush on Godai (from the previous chapter) can also be seen
in the background, holding up her Japanese II textbook.  The classroom
starts to get a bit noisier.

let out a little scream.

   question.                                 question




3
A quite intent group of students, listening to the exchange.


Yagami:
   Suppose that Sensei is the     SENSEI   ga SANKAKU   KANKEI no
   "daughter" at the top of       teacher     triangle  relationship
   the love triangle.
                                  CHOUTEN no "oJOU-san" de
                                  top         daughter


                                  aru to KATEI shimasu.
                                         assume


[ Translator's note [MWD]: It might help to refer to the diagram on Page 64
  (PW192), or Bob Carrager's wonderful ASCII translated representation. ]


[TM] [We need a footnote here pointing out that `Sensei' is a character in
      the novel.  So again there is a pun here since it's not immediately
      obvious that she's referring to Godai. People who don't know of her
      audacity would tend to assume that she's referring to the character
     `Sensei' in the book at this point.]


[YS] [In the novel, the person referred to as "sensei" is actually "I".  The
      story is first told from a young student, who happens to meet "I" while
      on vacation, and is fascinated by him (hence, he refers to "I" as
      "sensei").


      The first section is called <SENSEI to WATASHI>  (Sensei and I), the
      second section is called <RYOUSHIN to WATASHI>  (My parents and I), and
      the final chapter is called <SENSEI to ISHO>  (Sensei and [his] Will).]

A picture of the ceiling.  Word balloons make up most of this panel.


Yagami:
   The "I" in the story also      SAKU-CHUU       no "WATASHI" ha 
   has a hand in the repulsion    within-the-work 's "I"
   (of the daughter) towards

Yagami, at yet another angle, still speaking.


Yagami:
   ...could the daughter openly   "oJOU-san" ha "WATASHI" no
   accept the favor of "I"?       daughter      I
   
                                  KOUI   wo SUNAO    ni UkeIrete

blackboard.

Yagami leans forward and delivers her punch line.  The rest of the
class surrounding her bursts out into expressions of shock and
delight.


[BC] [Part of that expression is an excess of "flowers" everywhere.]


[CN] [Miracle Powers, man!  She's not called a goddess for nothing.  And
      FLOWERS!  Definitely an aspect of the Goddess of Love.  ^_-]


Yagami:
   I want to know what's in       WATASHI ha GODAI-SENSEI

Cut to the hall outside the staff office.  The office's
sign is at the center of the panel, which is not quite
wide enough to fill the page horizontally, but is centered
in the page.

Cut to inside the staff office, where Godai is standing at
attention with his shoulders slumped.  The teacher is just
warming up while another is sitting nearby, reading a
newspaper.

Godai:
   Sorry.                         sumimasen.

The teacher continues her lecture as Godai can do nothing but
listen "attentively."  Behind Godai is a blackboard which lists
the monthly schedule.  The upper right-hand portion is obscured
by Godai's thought balloon.  The first two days' events are
visible.

Suddenly one of the school girls, whom we can see only from

her hands together up at her chest.


Yagami:

Godai answers the question, as Yagami looks back.

Godai answers the question without saying a word.

Yagami bows her head down.


Yagami:

Godai:
   Huh...?                        e...?

      and kids) would share an umbrella?!  B-)]
