ヒミツのアイちゃん - Chapter 8
I've decided to drop キミのとなりで青春中 as i saw Bebexiu churning out the summaries at a really fast rate and like what Ankemaybe mentioned in her blog, i will be taking up this series and providing the summaries from now on. よろしくね。。
Need to thank Ankemaybe for letting me do this series as she was the one who started translating it on her blog first and it's through her blog that i got to know this manga and i'm loving it to bits!
Himitsu no Ai-Chan is the cover for Cheese! of the month.
and a two coloured pages cover.
In the previous chapter, Takumi confessed to Aiko!!! He said: "I'm attracted to you, I like Kasumi Aiko." Aiko in disbelief and lost of words.
Aiko blushed and said: "What are you talking about? It's a joke right?" Takumi looking all serious and said: "I'm serious." (I just realized Takumi has got 3 ear holes on each ear! and did i mentioned before i love the little nevus below his left eye!)
"...but, I didn't plan on doing anything and I did not said these to pissed you off. You told me that my own feelings are important thus, i've come to be honest with my feelings." Aiko still blushing and still in disbelief said: ".. but.. you like me?!?" Takumi continued: "This is the first time i've come to like someone. I just wanted to let you know that i really like you. I don't mean to cause you any trouble. Let me like you." Aiko, blushing and not knowing what to say.
Aiko thinks that she needs to say something but is kind of angry with herself that no words came out from her. Hiroko came just in time to her rescue. She finds the atmosphere a little strange and wonders what happened between them. She then sees Aiko's ears red and is sure that something must have happened. Aiko thinking to herself "Why is it that i can't seems to speak properly when someone confessed to me? If he did not plan to cause me any trouble, why did he confess to me? I can't tell Reo these can i? What should i do?"
Scene changes to Spica. As usual, Ikumi and Aiko fighting for customers. Aiko thinking to herself: Takumi hasn't told Ikumi that i'm Mai. Maybe he's serious when he said he's not going to expose me but i still can't let my guard down."
Aiko is fuming hot when Ritsuki told Aiko to help out in the kitchen. Aiko and Ritsuki exchanged stares and Aiko told him to do it himself and he threaten not to give Aiko her pay. Aiko enters the kitchen unwillingly and thinks that she has no choice when her pay is at stake. Aiko is concentrating on working and avoiding all contacts with Takumi. Takumi looked at Aiko and said: "Ahhh..." Aiko sweat drops and goes: "huh?" Takumi feeds her with a piece of cake!
Aiko with the cake in her mouth mumbled: "What is this?!" Takumi: "These are the new sweets i've made and i wanted a girl's opinion. Is it nice?" Aiko eyes sparkled and with flowers blooming around her said: "It's very delicious! You are good!" and Takumi uses his hand to wipe off the cream on Aiko's mouth, licks it and said: "That great!" Aiko flushed and in shocked retreated a few steps back and shouted: "Ero Kabo!" (I'm not sure this is but i think Aiko thinks that what Takumi did was kinda erotic.)
Takumi laughing to himself he seems really happy here. While Aiko on the other hand still flushed and covering her mouth with one hand thinks "I was careless! I don't know what to do when he's around. I can't act normally after he confessed." Hiroko saw Aiko looking all flushed and worried and is sure something happened. She plans on asking Aiko later. Scene changes with Takumi and Ikumi knocking off.
Ikumi: "Takumi seems to have change recently, you've become more cheerful. There's someone you like?" Takumi: "Why? suddenly.." Ikumi: "Do not be deceived. Aren't you close to the girl who looks like a guy recently? You like her right?" Takumi looking away and said: "ah, no..." Ikumi: "Listen to me, because i failed as a girl thus i never mentioned before. Takumi is free to fall in love."
Takumi with a-gentle-and-a-little-worried-about-Ikumi-look said: "un. (ok). How about Ikumi?" Ikumi looking a little embarrassed said: "I like Reo thus why i've decided to like him to a degree that i will not be dislike by him."
Scene changes to Aiko sneezing. Hiroko: "Quick change before you catch a cold." Aiko: "I'm not someone who catches cold easily." Hiroko: "That's because you are Baka." Aiko: "Me?" Aiko phone rings, an email from Reo and it says: "Thought we are going to win this practise match but Koike won instead. Still feeling unhappy. Praise me so i can heal." (I translate illterally here, he used praise instead of console.) Aiko read the email with both her eyes and mouth wide open. Reo walked into his room after his bath and heard his phone ringing.
Aiko all chirppy said: "Reo! It's me! You did great didn't you? You are good! The opponent is strong that's why." Reo blushed a little and said: "Thank You. It's rare that i receive a call from Aiko." Aiko looks a little displeased said: "Aren't you the one who told me to praised you so that you can heal?" Reo laughed and replied: "yah.. haha... icic. Thank you Aiko! I'm really happy!" Aiko feeling pleased upon hearing Reo's reply. She squats outside Spica and chats happily with Reo on the phone. Aiko's thoughts "My heart is beating so fast when i'm only listening to Reo's voice."
Reo: "You went out today to bought the materials? Was it tiring?" Aiko: "The stuff were really heavy even though there were 3 of us. Ritsuki came to fetch us." Reo shouted in the phone: "3 people!? I thought it was only you and Hiroko? Aiko thinking that she's so so so dead and trying to bluff her way through said: "3 people? did i say that? You must have heard wrongly." Reo, very angry now said: "No excuses! I thought it was strange, don't tell me the person who went together is Takumi!?" Aiko, shocked and nervous she thinks to herself "Oh no! He knows and is very angry! What should i do?" no word came out from her.
Reo still angry: "It really is Takumi." Aiko shouted: "I'm sorry!" Reo: " It's unavoidable to have contact with him since you both are in the same class, activity and partime job. However, i feel hurt. I've never been out together with Aiko before (She always appears as Mai) and now i can't be the first." Aiko apologized again and is feeling bad that she had made Reo feels bad. Reo looking gentle replied: "It's alright. (omg! i think Reo looks so charming here! Sad but charming. I feel like consoling him so much!) Did he do anything to you?" Aiko shocked, replied: "There's nothing he can do right?"
Reo: "What am i doing? I believe in Aiko too." (He said "too" because Aiko told Reo that she believed in him when he was in the ferries wheel with Ikumi) Aiko: "un (ok)." Reo: "I sense something fishy in your reply." Aiko: "What! It's true." She thinks "Since Takumi is not causing me further trouble and i'm going to face it with the right attitude. It's going to be alright. The person i like is Reo that's why." Aiko still squatting outside Spica looks up into the sky and said: " I really wanted to meet you today." and thinks to herself "I really wants to see Reo's face now." Reo blushed and his heart skipped a beat.
Reo: "This is the first time time you said such things." Aiko blushing: "eh! but..." Reo looking at his clock said: "The day is ending soon. How about i go to where you are now?" Aiko suprised upon hearing Reo's reply and said: "What are you talking about? Aren't you tired? You had a match today. Moreover, by the time you come the last train... " Reo interrupts: " It's alright, i'm riding my bicycle and i really want to meet Aiko now." (ラブラブだね.. *so sweet*）
Aiko while waiting for Reo thinks "Even though we get to meet everyday, my heart is beating really fast when i'm going to meet him now." Reo arrived in his bicycle, blushing. The both of them thought "This is bad, I'm feeling embarrassed." Reo open his arms wide and said to Aiko: "Come, heal me."
Aiko looks embarrassed initially but soon give a bright smile, ran into Reo's arm and said: "Otsukare" (It's something Japanese said to each other after a day of hardwork.) Reo hugging Aiko and said: "Please do not make me worry." Aiko blushing: "un, im sorry." and Aiko feeling touched and thinks to herself "Reo's body is warm. Reo's heat is beating. He came riding his bicycle just because he wanted to see me."
Reo walking Aiko home. Aiko: "It will be the selection soon right? Some how i'm feeling nervous." Reo smiling: "What is this? I'm the one playing isn't? I want to have Aiko's everything. I'm excited." Aiko blushed and her heart skipped a beat upon hearing Reo's reply. Aiko: "Somehow it sounded ero." Reo in a loud voice: "Isn't it only natural?" Aiko: "Baka! Baka! You're too loud, what time do you think it is now!" Reo lowered his voice: "That's because you distant yourself away from me."
Aiko: "I've reached! Thank you for today!" Reo looks kind of unsatisfied: " un, so... Good night" Aiko noticed it. She calls him and plants a kiss on his lips! Whispering in his ears: "I will go support during the selection thus, you must win." Feeling all embarrassed, Aiko said bye and rushed towards the gate. Reo grabs her hand and said: "I tried so hard to hold back...
... you light up the fire." They kissed, passionately outside Aiko's house. Aiko blushing really badly asked: "What if my dad sees us?" Reo: "Baka, this won't happen." and he continues kissing Aiko when they suddenly heard a voice: "So, Good night."
***
Who is that? The father? But it's kind of early for the appearance of parents. Maybe it's Ritsuki?
I love this chapter! Do you? I feel happy for Aiko that she's opening up to Reo. More truthful of her feelings and most importantly letting Reo knows. Even though she still blush very often but we can't blame her when her bf, Reo is so hot right?

ヒミツのアイちゃん (Himitsu no Ai-Chan)
ヒミツのアイちゃん one of my favourite manga!1. I love the story despite it moving a little too fast (Mai revealed herself as Ai to Reo in the 2nd chapter) but it was only supposed to be a one shot.
2. I love Ai! She is cute and bubbly.
3. I love Reo. He's HOT! and he's crazy about Ai only and he's honest and straightforward about it.
4. I love Takumi too! hee. I like the little nevus below his left eye!
I noticed something while reading the manga so i thought i just share it here. =)
I think the Mangaka has a fetish for animal/leopard prints. I'm not sure, i'm just guessing as it appears constantly through out the manga.
Reo wearing zebra print hootie vest and Ai wearing zebra leggings.
Ai in leopard prints bikini or maybe it's actually undergarments. *fetish!
Zebra prints on Reo's Jacket and pants!
Little leopard prints on Ai's denim skirt. (The skirt actually belongs to Hiroko, Ai borrowed it.)
Zebra print cushion on Reo's couch.
Ai's Zebra print bag.And i think the Mangaka has good fashion sense.
Her characters are all fashionably dressed!
Ai-chan as Mai here in sweet lady like style.
Reo and Ai. Ai dressed up in a flowy top, vest and floral leggings and i think her shoes are really nice.
Reo and Ai in casual style.
Ai chan, dresses up in the long floral one piece pants in the latest chapter. You can easily spot a Japanese girl in this get ups on the street. Ai-chan's Jacket (Michael Jackson, solider style), I think i've seen it in H&M during spring.
Ai-chan's shoes too! A "must have" in summer!

うそつきリリィ (Usotsuki Lily)
Saw the Tankōbon (単行本) Volume 1 on the shelf last week and was attracted by the cover art. Read the synopsis and i hesitated about buying it!!! (which seldom happens when i'm attracted to the art) Last Friday i popped by Orion bookstore and i don't see it on the shelf anymore! Apparently, it's sold out! Is it really this good? I can't afford to miss it if it's really good.
Title: うそつきリリィ (Usotsuki Lily)
Author: 小村 あゆみ
Synopsis:
え？ 女装の何が悪いの？めっちゃタイプの男の子・苑に告白された主人公・ひなた。初めて彼氏ができて浮かれてたけど…実は苑は、尋常じゃない男嫌いで、女装が趣味の超美人だった！？
"What's wrong with dressing up as a girl? En Shinohara, a gorgeous boy confessed to Hinata Saotome, the female protagonist. It is her first relationship, little did she know that her boyfriend, En is into cross dressing! En has always hated men, to combat this hatred, he dresses up as a girl. In fact he is very pretty when he dresses up as a girl!Hinata decides to go out with him anyway, despite his weird hobby. "
***
A bishounen who's into cross dressing?!? I mean i can't imagine how the story can develop to. Shoujo Ai? (Just to clear the air, i have nothing against cross dressing or homosexuality. ) I just prefer lovey dovey to shoujo ai kind of manga.
Anyone read this series before? It is serialized in Margaret. (I don't buy Margaret) Please do enlighten me.
Thanks in advance!

ホタルノヒカリ (Hotaru no Hikari)
I spent my weekend as a couch potato, lazing on my little couch feeding on a Japanese drama - ホタルノヒカリ.
The story:
"オフタイムには頑張りたくない。恋愛するより家で寝てたい!"
Her landlord is a bar owner, and one day his son, who has just separated from his wife wanting to start his life afresh returns to his old house, not knowing that someone is living there. He is shocked at the mess, but not as shocked as Hotaru because he turns out to be her boss, Takano!!
The season 2 of this drama is currently airing on every Wednesday night. Watched the first 3 episode of season 2 and i love this drama! It's hilarious! Thus i went online to search for season 1 which was aired in the year 2007 with only 10 episodes. I'm done with it in a day. heh.
The story is adapted from a shoujo manga with the same title ホタルノヒカリ which was first released in 2005 with 15 volumes completed in 2009.
The story:
Hotaru works for a famous interior design company. It's a glamorous job but Hotaru's private life is totally the opposite of glamorous. She lives alone, and when she isn't working she's mostly lazing around her rented house in sweatsuit. She's not interested in men. In fact, she isn't interested in anything. "I do not wish to work hard during off time, I'd rather lay around than be in a relationship" is her motto. They termed this kind of girl 干物女.
"オフタイムには頑張りたくない。恋愛するより家で寝てたい!"
Her landlord is a bar owner, and one day his son, who has just separated from his wife wanting to start his life afresh returns to his old house, not knowing that someone is living there. He is shocked at the mess, but not as shocked as Hotaru because he turns out to be her boss, Takano!!
The cast:
雨宮 蛍 - 綾瀬はるか, 高野 誠一 - 藤木直人, 三枝 優華 - 国仲涼子 and 手嶋 マコト - 加藤和樹
***
Though the story is kind of predictable and not very lovey dovey but it's hilarious! The boss is the exact opposite of Hotaru, he's neat and tidy and does things in a routines and systematic way. They have very funny and interesting interactions in every episode.
Spoilers ahead if you haven't watch and planning on watching this drama.
Hotaru believes that being in a relationship is something unreachable for her until one day she fell asleep on a chair designed by Makoto and he stole a kiss from her! He turns out to be a colleagues who is transfered back to the design team. He's the "perfect guy" that every girl likes and the "perfect girl" in the company likes him naturally however he likes Hotaru! Due to lazing in the house for too long, Hotaru is totally lost when she found out that she likes Makoto and worse when she realised Makoto likes her too! With the help of her boss, Takano she is able to convey her feelings to Makoto and eventually goes out with him. Like i've mentioned, it's typical and so the boss, Takano slowly falls for Hotaru! (Very slowly in fact, he's feelings were only revealed in episode 9, 2nd last episode when Hotaru went missing after a fight with Makoto. She did not plan on going missing on purpose, she was locked up in the warehouse!) Season 1 ended with Hotaru knowing that her boss likes her and she realised she likes him too! Happy ending!
Season 2!
The 2 main characters are acted by the same people while most of the supporting cast have changed.
The story starts with Hotaru back from Hong Kong after 3 years. She was sent on an overseas business trip. When parting with the boss at the airport, she promised she will work hard on this long distance relationship and promised to call the boss everyday, write to him everyday and email him everyday but it turns out that not only did she not returned to Japan once in 3 years she only sent him a postcard in 3 years! She returned to the house like before believing that the boss hasn't changed and is waiting for her. However the boss told her everything has changed except her and he's going out every night to meet a lady. The lady turns out tot be the boss high school lover! Her husband died and she had a daughter. Takano is helping her out with her new Okinawa restaurant. Nothing scandalous is happening between them yet. It's obvious the lady likes Takano but he only got his eyes on Hotaru. He proposed to her at the end of the 1st episode.
Season 2 seems a little more interesting with new competitor.
1. The boss's old flame. Hotaru is obviously clueless about it. Lucky the boss only has eyes on her.
2. イケマン (Ikeman - handsome guy). He seems to like Hotaru, can't really tell now thou. However the boss already sense that this イケマン might be a threat to him and again, Hotaru is clueless! Another co-worker, a pretty young lady likes this イケマン and sees Hotaru as her rival.
***
Looking forward to ep. 4 this Wednesday!

DEAR！- Chapter 2
Finally got down to do Chapter 2 of DEAR!
"Kazusa and Banri are very important childhood friend to Rei. However, she is feeling doubtful."
Narration: I might have liked Banri if i didn't have such thoughts. (hmm. i don't quite understand Rei's thoughts here.)
A familiar morning sight. Banri and Kazusa are surfing!! (Slurp! i love beach boys!) Rei brought them breakfast.
Rei was grumbling that she's busy helping out in her house as it's summer and yet she needed to sent them breakfast. Banri said:"Isn't it alright? I lent you my bike and food which Rei prepares is delicious!" Both Banri and Kazusa were sucking up to Rei about her cooking. Rei's heart skipped a beat and she rebutted Banri that he does not judge a girl on her cutlery skills. Banri agreed with her. Rei thought to herself: Even though he is such a guy, i still feel a little happy. Banri to me now is a little different, a little more than just a childhood friend. Flashback of Banri protecting her from the broken window. She saw a handkerchief on his arm.
She asked Banri if his wound is alright as it's not a bandage but a handkerchief. Banri as if trying to avoid answering her said something like it's only a small cut.
Scene changes to Rei having difficulty starting Banri's bike as it's abit "rusty". She gave it a kick! Upon seeing that, Banri commented that Rei's actions and dressing are not feminine and since she owned a long skirt she should wear it once in awhile. Rei she knew she does not look feminine and told Banri that she does not look good in it and it didn't matter.
Banri said: "Seriously, you don't look cute when you are dishonest." Rei stunned. Kazusa gave banri a kick in the back. Rei looked at Kazusa and he gave a signal asking her to leave. Banri apologized for what he said. Rei just stuck out her tongue. Rei thought to herself: At that moment, no words came out even though we've always be able to converse normally.
Rei continued to wonder why Banri held her hand and they played truant when they were supposed to look for the lost kid. Then she thought that's Banri usual self, he has not change at all and somehow, she's feeling sad.
Rei was pushing the bike and accidentally hit a girl. She thought the girl was very pretty and Banri would agreed to if he had saw her. She felt relieved that he's not around. Someone was chasing the girl and she's on the run.
Rei shouted: "Hop on!" She offered to help the girl escape with the bike even though she had no idea why and she wondered if Banri and Kazusa would be proud of her.
Banri asked Kazusa what was his hesitation, since he liked Rei, he should let her know his feelings and they might be able to get together. However he added that until now, Rei does not see them as man. Kazusa replied that it's good that Banri realised it and sometimes pretending ignorance is happy.
Kazusa questioned Banri's intention of his actions during the fireworks night. Banri seemed a little shocked and said it's only for fun and mentioned that Kazusa is reading too much into his actions.
Banri and Kazusa got out from the sea and they were guess boobs sizes. (oh, typical guys) Kazusa noticed Banri looking around and asked what was he looking for. Banri said: "Won't it be great to meet destiny again?"
Kazusa looked shocked when he heard banri's answer. Meanwhile, Rei with the girl was still running away for the very persistent guy. They both said: "Otsukareta!" (which means tired). They looked at each other.
and burst out laughing. The girl saw a cut on Rei's hand. Rei said it's a small matter. The girl took out her handkerchief to bandaged Rei's hand. Rei thanked her and commented that she's skillful. She giggled and said someone said the same thing to her too. The girl thanked Rei for helping her to escape from the man and said it was enjoyable and it's like in the movies. Rei looked at her various expressions and thought that she's really cute.
And thought that's how a girl is suppose to be like. Rei asked why was the man chasing her. The girl said she just moved here and the man offered to show her around the area but he brought her to a weird place instead. Rei sigh. The girl apologized and thought Rei was troubled as she was talking non stop. Rei said that the girl was the opposite of her and that she looked cute and pretty in dress. Then she remembered Banri commenting about her not being cute. (She keeps having flashbacks of Banri.)
The girl said that she though Rei was wonderful to help someone she didn't know and it's cool to be able to drive around with the bike. Rei was the opposite of her and she envied Rei. Rei said that they seemed to hit of pretty well even when they did not know each other's name. They went on to introduce themselves. The girl's name is Suzuki Yukari.
Rei offered to send Yukari home but she said she had something on. When Rei was about to leave, Yukari called Rei and told her that she though Rei would look good in a dress too and she should not label herself as someone not suitable of wearing dress. Flashbacks of the conversation between her and Banri about her not being cute enough. (Flashback of Banri again!) Rei thought that she does not want to have regrets and neither does she wants to feel sad nor deceive herself. She thought that she was a little stubborn too.
Rei appeared in a long skirt at the beach. Looking kind of unsure and embarrassed, she asked Banri and Kazusa what time do they plan to play till.
Both Banri and Kazusa was shocked. Eyes widen when they saw Rei in a long skirt. Rei was looking at Banri with teary eyes and wondered why they did not say a word. Banri said: "Isn't it great? You look good in it!"
Rei blushed and smiled to herself.
Rei thinks to herself that Banri is the reason why she is working hard for and she likes him for who he is. She feels unsure but she should be honest with her feelings. And someone called her.
It's Yukari. Rei wondered why she's here while Yukari said that she looked good in the dress. Banri asked if they knew each other and Rei stood in front of Yukari with her arms open as if protecting her. Banri scratched his head and wondered what Rei was doing. Rei looked worried as she knew Banri would make a move on Yukari soon.
Yukari walked in front of Banri and thank him. Rei's puzzled and asked if they knew each other. She's the lost boy's sister. Rei thought the world is small. Banri thanked Yukari for the handkerchief on his arm while Yukari asked if his wound was alright. Banri replied saying that because of her it got better. Rei was looking at the both of them. (She must be feeling worried!)
Rei wondered if she's thinking too much but Banri was different this time as compared to when he's with other girls. Yukari came here thinking that she might be able to bump into them and was surprised to see Rei too. She said she's happy to meet Banri and Rei again and she turned towards Kazusa looking really pleased and said she's really happy to be able to meet him again and she was hoping to meet him! Kazusa looked at her expressionless while Banri and Rei puzzled.
***
Now i'm curious! Yukari and Kazusa knew each other! I wonder what's their history and their relationship. Well, i think it's kind of obvious that Yukari likes Kazusa. hmm... i still like Banri even though he still appears to be like some kind of jerk?
"Kazusa and Banri are very important childhood friend to Rei. However, she is feeling doubtful."
Narration: I might have liked Banri if i didn't have such thoughts. (hmm. i don't quite understand Rei's thoughts here.)A familiar morning sight. Banri and Kazusa are surfing!! (Slurp! i love beach boys!) Rei brought them breakfast.
Rei was grumbling that she's busy helping out in her house as it's summer and yet she needed to sent them breakfast. Banri said:"Isn't it alright? I lent you my bike and food which Rei prepares is delicious!" Both Banri and Kazusa were sucking up to Rei about her cooking. Rei's heart skipped a beat and she rebutted Banri that he does not judge a girl on her cutlery skills. Banri agreed with her. Rei thought to herself: Even though he is such a guy, i still feel a little happy. Banri to me now is a little different, a little more than just a childhood friend.
