Heeey, everyone! Just to let you all know that the page will be taking a little break until my web updating nifty person can set up a way for me to update myself and such! Do not worry! The page isn't going down or anything! It's just...the next update will be a little late ^________^; But you're all used to that already, right? *sob*
Oh...and...I sent the last update to her too late, so she wasn't able to put this message up on the actual page. It was my fault, I'm sorry about that. >.< Thank you for your kind understanding! *runs off screaming*

Ahahah, I just got out of French class...so why am I posting? o.o Because I'm at school and I'm avoiding reading my weirdo World Civ book. Cause I hate World Civ. And stuff. >.< I bet my World Civ teacher's standing right behind me. AUGH! Anyway...
Oooh, if you haven't noticed...the old board died. It wasn't my fault though! See, beseen.com died, so the board died. So we got a new one! Yeaah, I don't know if it'll be as great... I really wanted a simple board but...this is what we have.
It's all about simplicity! Really! Phhheeeww.
I am insane. Here I am struggling to finish all of WJ and now I wanna do Fruits Basket too. -.- But that's being done. But it seems to me there's mostly FB summaries, not translations... *sighs* One day at a time, man...Don't bite off more than you can chew or you'll spit crumbs all over.
Duuude, I hope I'm doing a decent translation. Is everyone enjoying it? Even if I can't always reply...I do read and appreciate your kind messages (Ahaha, like a movie star! ^_^;; I wish...).
Well, I'm definitely doing Fun Fun Factory too! That'll be my new pet project I'm doing with my friend. The site's almost done! Yaay! I think people will like it muchly.
OH! Also...if you find any new WJ links, let me know and I'll put them on the links page! And stuff... Hmm... Yeaah.
...*wonders if anyone even reads this* ^_^; I wouldn't blame you, man, since I barely write here, but because of my increasing frustrations with junk, I may write more! *writes* Yaaaaaay!

Wow, I haven't written here in a long time again! Actually, I'm at school right now! Yeeep. Pondering the meaning of my existence.
But I made it into the Intermediate Japanese class! *sob* I'm so happy!! And now I'll be able to ask the teacher many questions, so my translation should go swifter! Ahahaaa! Maybe I'll actually get done now!
But I was still thinking maybe I should get done with summaries first. So people know what's actually going on and stuff. *sigh* I'm just a mixed up personage. Or something.
*falls asleep* I'm sorry....I'm sorry...

I haven't written here in a while, huuuh... Well, this is just a funky quick note anyway. I haven't really been able to do much of anything because I had guests coming over and they just left yesterday, so...I was trying to update on the 7th but I'm not sure I'll be able to. But I'll try! So fear not! And now I gotta go again @_@

Wah, I'm gonna ramble now, so here goes...
*ahem* Well, I put everything in geocities and...I guess I actually had more people visiting than I thought cause they already sent me a warning of crap saying blablabla I have too many visitors for the free package (and yet I'm GLAD!). So anyway! It is time! It'll take a lil bit of time, but I'm going to start sending everything over to the new host and then we'll all be free and I'll be able to live without having another stress attack. PHEWWW! I apologize if anyone's been having trouble accessing the scanslations ;_; I keep saying "SOOON!". But..seriously, this time it IS soon! As in probably before next weekend! I have many things fighting against me, man...it's a race against time!
Also, I've realized...it's true. You're always your worst critic. I'm like...giving myself an ulcer because I keep thinking everyone will hate me for all this changing hosts messiness and for being so late. This is how the Duchess Ingmar sees it.
DI: Hey, everyone! Well, we'll be switching hosts again soon, but it'll all be over soon! *cheesy grin*
Visitors: SOON!? You FOOLISH girl!! That is such a nuisance! It's a bother! Stop it! Why are you such a screwball!? Even if this is your first serious website, you have no excuse!
DI: o.o B...B...But it's...soon...;_; I...I only wanted to make it easy to access and nice for...you guys...*sniffle*
Visitors: You call this junky site nice and easy to access? YOU ARE FOOOOOLISH!!
DI: AAAUGH!!!! WHYYYYYY?! *runs off in tears*
^_^; And then I think "Hey...I've received nothing but nice feedback! Why am I so worried? They are nice and understanding people!". But...I'm sure you guys know how that is, in whatever it is you do. Like my buds (and scanner dudettes!) the Tanin and the Moe! They are GREAT artists, and yet...they fear everyone will dislike their art. But yet it is not so! But I'm sure most everyone goes through it.
*breaaaathes* I must breaaathe. And calm doooown. I will succeeeeeed. And before July too! Cause we have...HIIIIGH HOPES! *stops* That's enough. Now everyone knows what a true goof I am. They won't respect me anymore! WAH! B...But I spoke from my heart. I couldn't help it. It had to be said. If not, it would have eaten my insides slowly...until I became a bitter and angry freak. o.o

Title: "W Juliet"
Volume: 3
Part: 3
Author: Emura
Summarizer: Duchess Ingmar
Email: orihara_sakae@yahoo.com
Characters: Ito, Makoto, Kouhei, Miura bros, Itou-sensei, & Yoshirou
Notes: ...Why did I write all of this again? o.o But....it's a habit now. Here goes!
This chapter begins with Ito opening the canthing perfume that Makoto got her for her birthday. But she has to laugh at it because the perfume bottle inside it is...such a funny bottle (it's like...the thingy on the top of the bottle is in the shape of lips, so it looks kind of funny). She thinks to herself "Sometimes I just don't understand his hobbies...". She narrasplains that she had just been staring at the canthing the past few days, kind of just gazing at it, and hadn't even opened it until now, but today...she will put it on!
And so she does and... she starts spraying it all over the room as if it was an air freshner or something o.O Then she wonders why Makoto chose perfume as her gift (actualllyyy it's...eau de toilette o.o I didn't know there was a difference but I think there iiis. I think it's not as strong as real perfume...? @_@ *is as bad as Ito*). But Ito is interrupted from her thoughts when Tatsuyoshi comes in to tell her that dinner's ready. Then he goes "AAUGH! What the hell?! Why's it so stinky in here?!" and Ito beats him up. ^_^; As she beats on poor Tatsuyoshi, Ryuuya and Yuuto come up to see what's going on. Ryuuya says "Is this...perfume?" and Yuuto says "It's totally reeking though. Don't you know how to use that?".
But as they observer Ito beat Tatsuyoshi up, Ryuuya comments that, though Ito was always very boyish before, now she's becoming more feminine (I guess she's beating Tatsuyoshi up in a more ladylike manner. Bwahah ^0^;). He thinks maybe a guy has appeared that made her change.
Fast forward to school! Ito is being chased and yelled at by one of the teachers because she came to school in casual clothes instead of her uniform (Ito argues "But it's summer vacation! What does it matter?" as she runs). Their shouting can be heard at the meeting Itou-sensei is at, and one of her colleagues asks if that's Miura from the Drama Club. Itou-sensei just laughs (apparently this had been happening for several days).
Ito then narrasplains that in the spring, the Drama Club had been saved from being cut because enough students joined, and now they have 17 new members. As Ito arrives at the gym, she asks where Itou-sensei is, and Yoshirou explains she's at a meeting cause they'll be going to a boarding house next week (kinda like Drama Camp, I guess!).
Suddenly, someone taps Ito on the shoulder, and she turns around to see a smiling Makoto, who says "Good morning, Ito-san". Ito smiles at Mako and says "good morning" back (as all the new female drama club girls take pictures and giggle and spazz out because Ito smiled). Ito narrasplains that they've both become kinda famous because of what happened back in volume 2 (the whole play with jumping from the school roof and such).
To be continued!

Ok! I put this chapter here because...Angelfire is really awful about updating lately (or maybe it's just my computer, which is OLD), and I haven't resolved my new host stuffs yet. And...so...this is easier. *is cheap like this* I'm so cheap. *sobs* I'm sorry. Forgive me. But there's a PLUS, man! Now you can comment right away! You don't even have to email me! Isn't that great? Of course, it's great! It's GOTTA be! Anyway, here it goes!
Title: "W Juliet"
Volume: 3
Part: 2
Summarizer: Duchess Ingmar
Email: orihara_sakae@yahoo.com
Characters: Ito, Makoto, Yoshirou, Nobuko, & Misaki
Notes: Enjoy!
This chapter takes place during the first 10 days of July, which is final exam time at Ito and Mako's school. We see Ito's teacher tell the students "Time's up! Please put down your pencils and pass your sheets forward from the back. Good job everyone." All the students stretch and are tired and such (you know how those scantron tests are!) and then they all throw their stuff up in the air in celebration, saying "IT'S OVEEEER!" (the teacher's like "Hey, you people! Oh, this class..-.-"). Ito narrasplains that final exams are finally over and that summer vacation will begin in two weeks. From the next day until those two weeks are over, they'll only have morning lessons.
As Yoshirou hands in his answer sheet, he tells Ito it looks like he's gonna be seeing her at summer school cause he totally failed math (well, not exactly at summer school but at extra classes you gotta take if you failed, which is sorta similar ^_^;). Ito tells her she's sorry, but she won't be seeing him there this time. Yoshirou is understandably surprised like "You did GOOD this time?!" and Takashi (who's collecting the answer sheets on Ito's row) asks Ito for her answer sheet, which she hands in. Takashi looks at her answer sheet and then laughs and says "You say you won't be there this time? You didn't even fill out half of the sheet!" and Ito looks angered and thinks to herself "I filled up more than I usually do though!" (apparently Ito usually gets a 15/100 and Yoshirou gets 20/100 on the test).
Ito then goes on narrasplaining and says that the time they don't use on lessons during the afternoon becomes club-time, and so that means they'll be doing more club activities, which means she'll be seeing Makoto more often. After the test, Ito goes to meet up with Makoto, who's saying goodbye to some of his classmates. Makoto asks Ito how the test went and Ito embarrassedly tells him that it was so-so, but that she did better than usual because Makoto tutored her, and Makoto says he's glad.
Suddenly, Ito smells Mako's hair and says "Mako, you always smell really nice. Do you put on something?" and goes on about how neat it is that he smells good. Makoto just smiles in his secretive way. Ito then takes the opportunity to narrasplain Makoto's predicament again for anyone who missed the last chapters and is lost on why he crossdresses (there's a neat picture here of Girl-Mako and Boy-Mako with their arms linked and dressed in both the girls uniform and boys uniform). At the end of her explanation, Ito adds that she's the only one who knows his secret (well, besides Takashi and them).
At the club lockeroom, Ito comments on how it's been a while since they had club cause apparently club had been canceled for the whole week because of exams. Suddenly, Mako remembers something and tells Ito that he has something he has to do that he couldn't reschedule, so he has to miss club today. Ito looks a little peeved and wishes he would have mentioned it sooner, for she feels ditched, but gives in and says she'll tell everyone at club for him. Makoto smiles and thanks her and leaves saying he'll see her tomorrow (Ito thinks to herself that Mako's smile really is her weakness).
But then Ito narrasplains that since that time, Makoto always ditched club saying he had "something" to do and giving no other explanation besides that (there are lil panels of Makoto telling everyone he has to leave and Nobuko giving Ito notes from Mako saying he has to leave and such, and then a panel of the other students wondering if "she" got a boyfriend "she" keeps sneaking off to see). Ito says that at first she didn't really pay any attention to it, but after a while she really wanted to ask him what was up.
Finally, on July 14, Ito goes into club ready to ask Makoto, but because her homeroom had run a little late, she had just missed Makoto, who had left her another note with Misaki. Yoshirou asks Ito if she knows what it is that Makoto keeps ditching club for, but Ito gets annoyed and says "How should I know?". Yoshirou says he just thought Ito might know (them being so close and all). Ito thinks about that and thinks Yoshirou's right. She understands if Mako's keeping something a secret from their other club friends, but she doesn't understand why Mako's keeping a secret from Ito herself (there's a panel of Ito looking really mad and everyone else thinking she looks like she's gonna snap in five seconds).
Nobuko and Misaki invite Ito to come along with them on a shopping spree in preparation for summer vacation. Ito looks a little sad and disappointed but agrees. While Nobuko and Misaki rejoice about it, Ito thinks that even though she and Makoto have never really directly said they "love" each other, they know how the other feels, and that she really thought Makoto felt like he could tell her anything. She thinks to herself she really doesn't understand him and wonders why Makoto never really tells her anything.
While shopping, Ito, Misaki, Nobuko, and Yoshirou stop at a restaurant. They all comment on how hot it is outside and such until the waitress shows up and asks how many people are in their party. Ito tells her "four", but then takes a closer look at the waitress only to realize...It's Makoto! And so now they all know what Makoto keeps ditching club for. Ito is naturally surprised and yells/asks in a REALLY loud voice what the heck Makoto is doing there (everyone's like "Whoa, that's the experienced loud voice of someone from the Drama Club").
After they've all calmed down, Makoto explains "she" has some sort of debt to pay and that's why "she" got the job. Mako explains that "her" sister lent "her" half of the fee for the school trip they went on and that "she" wanted to pay her back this month. Everyone thinks she's very silly because if it was just that, then she should have just told them, cause they would have understood. Makoto explains she (^_^; I'll use it without "s now, but just know if I use "she" instead of "he" it's cause people other than Ito are there too) didn't tell anyone because she'd heard it was forbidden at school to have a part-time job. The others reassure her that it's cool, cause everyone does it anyway, and they all comment on how serious Makoto is. Ito is still sulking, though, and Makoto asks her if she's angry. Ito says she's really mad because Makoto didn't tell her anything. Makoto tries to explain further, but Ito cuts her off by saying she's decided to work there too. Makoto says that that's why she didn't tell Ito, and that she can't do that. Ito asks why can't she work there and says that by the time Mako gets off from work it's late and dark and dangerous on the streets and such. Plus, if they both work, they can pay Mako's sister back faster. Makoto says that's exactly what she doesn't want, and Ito says "Then I'll use it for myself!" and Makoto's like "-.-". They keep arguing back and forth about it and Yoshirou says that they're going to go on and on about it forever. Ito thinks to herself that she says she wants to do it to help Mako out too, but she really just wants to be with him. She fills out a job application and tells Mako she's going to give it to the owner/manager dude, but Mako says "I'm sorry, but we're not looking for waitresses right now". Ito looks a little dejected (Nobuko and Yoshirou are like "Ooh, good comeback!"), but then she says "Heh...who do you think you're talking to?".
Two days later, a couple of ko-gals (them girls who wear looots of make-up and dye their hair blonde and such) come into the restaurant complaining about the weather (it's raining baaadly). A waitress asks them how many are in their party and the gals say 2, and keep walking past the waitress rudely. The managerdude is like "Oh, we have some gals here" and tells the waiters to go take their order and to put their hearts into it (like be smileative and kind and not like "-.- can i take yer order?"), but neither of the two waiters wants to go (^_^; AHAHA!). As one of the gals sneezes on the table (for they are both drenched) and the other one laughs at her and calls her dirty, a mysterious waiter approaches them and gives the gal who sneezed (ahaha, that sounds like a book title. "The Gal Who Sneezed"! ...nevermind ^_^;) a towel. The "waiter", who is now revealed to be Ito (looking snazzy and handsome in a nifty waiter uniform), tells them to please call her once they've decided their order. The gals blush embarrassedly, for they think Ito is a guy and have probably developed crushes on her.
The waiters who didn't want to help the gals (that sounds like a book title too) watched the whole thing and speak amongs themselves about how cooly Ito shut the gals up (for they were being loud) and speak about how Ito started working there the day before and she's "Miura from Sakura High". Makoto looks at Ito and finally says "...You're a male host?" (like...a male escort I guess ^_^;) but Ito says "I'm a WAITER!". Apparently the only way they'd hire her was as a waiter cause they didn't need any more waitresses. Makoto looks at Ito worriedly and says he didn't think Ito'd really try to work there. Ito says that the more Mako told her not to work there, the more she wanted to, plus it's not like the clothes look bad on her or anything. But alas, Mako is still not pleased and he walks off to work. As she polishes some glass cupthings (I forget their names), Ito thinks that Mako still seems kinda funky about all this and wonders if there's something else Mako's hiding...something he doesn't want Ito to know about. Ito worries even more when she thinks that maybe Mako just wants to be away from Ito for a while, and she wonders what shall she do if that is the case (she worries so much she breaks the glass cupthing she was polishing and gets yelled at by the manager). Mako watches Ito get yelled at and can't help but laugh.
The next day, Ito narrasplains that her working hours are from 1 PM till 8 PM and that the restaurant is 5 train stations away from the school (or is it train station #5? O.o I couldn't really understand that part but it's not that important) and it's a seaside restaurant. But Ito explains that, although Makoto acts normal at school, he acts kind of guarded and such at work, like he really wishes Ito wouldn't be there (while she says that, there's a panel of Yoshirou going all ballistic and jealoused cause Ito and Mako get paid ^_^;). Ito decides to seriously talk with Makoto today and confront him about it. But, alas, Ito has seriously bad luck. The teacher calls her outside and tells Ito that she has to go to the extra lessons. Ito is all surprised because she did a lot better this time (she got a 51/100 ^_^;;) so she apparently seriously thought she wouldn't have to go to extra lessons (^_^;), but the teacher tells her that a 51 is still not enough. Yoshirou laughs at her and says he knew it would happen, but the teacher tells him that he has to go to extra lessons too. But extra lessons means that they both have to stay after, and the teacher says they really better stay if they really want their summer vacation o.o Makoto tells Ito that she can do it and wishes her luck and such, but Ito is all disappointed and wonders why this had to happen now.
When Ito and Yoshirou get to the extra lessons classroom, they find that there are a LOT of people there (Hah! Guess a lot of people failed...) and Yoshirou tells Ito they should go sit by the window. As they look out the window, they see Makoto leaving school to go to work, and he waves to them. Yoshirou says " You guys had work today too, right?" and Ito says "Yep. I thought we'd go together but... Man, being dumb is tough".
Then Ito thinks to herself that working at the restaurant just to be with Makoto is a kind of unpure motive, and that maybe Makoto didn't like Ito doing that (the working there just to be with him thing).
Elsewhere, Makoto smiles his secretive smile and thinks to himself that now that Ito's not around, he'll do "that" today.
Back at the classroom, the teacher says that he has a meeting and he'll be back in 30 minutes. Until then, the students are to complete a printout worksheet and put it on the desk when they're done. Everyone's like "WHAT!? 5 pages?! You gotta be kidding me!" and they all start cheating off of each other right away ^_^; (Yoshirou's like "We're using dirty tactics?" and Ito says "The sooner we get done, the sooner we can go!").
While working on her worksheet, Ito overhears two girls talking about the day's horoscope. One girl tells the other that her horoscope's really bad and asks "Your birthday's July 23, right? You're a Leo!" and Ito is all shocked, for that's her birthday too. Apparently the horoscope says that this month, Leos will have really bad luck, especially in love, and Ito freezes up. The girl proceeds to read the horoscope, which says things like "Ever since that time, he's been in a bad mood" and "He's hiding something from you" and finally "The final confrontation will come after July 23!". The girl who has Ito's birthday gets all creeped out and finally tells her friend to stop reading the dang thing. Ito gets really worried and thinks that it all really fits for her, and that she really wanted to be talking to Makoto about the whole situation but instead she's in this classroom. She finally can't take it anymore and stands up. Yoshirou says "Miura?" and Ito tells him she has to go to the bathroom and leaves (everyone's like "She's running away isn't she..." and "Maybe we should escape too.."). Ito thinks to herself that she'll make it to the restaurant before it closes and that she won't be at peace until she asks Makoto himself.
Ito arrives at the restaurant and one of the waitresses says "Miura-kun, weren't you off today?", but Ito explains she "finished her business early", and asks the waitress if she could call Makoto for her. But alas, the waitress confusedly replies that Makoto is off from work today too. o.o The waitress further explains that Makoto called at noon that same day and said that something came up and she couldn't come to work today. Ito remembers all the stuffs the horoscope said and looks all shocked, and the waitress asks her if something's wrong, but Ito says no. Ito then goes to a nearby public telephone and tries calling Mako's cell phone, but she gets a message saying the phone she's calling is not in range or is not turned on (Ito's like "What the hell does he have a cell phone for then!? That jerk!!" and there's a cute lil picture of chibi-Mako smiling).
But then Ito remembers Makoto telling her "Good luck!" before he left. She realizes Makoto picked the one day he knew Ito would be at extra lessons and so Ito is like "Two can play at the same gaaame...".
The next day at club practice, Makoto calls out to Ito in the gym, but Ito completely ignores him. She thinks to herself that she's acting really dumb, too, now and is like "C'mooon...chase after me!". There's a lil panel of Ito as her heart pounds and she's looking out of the corner of her eye at Mako, who looks pensive. Mako finally turns around and wonders if Ito's in a bad mood. Ito suddenly turns around and says "WAITAMINUTE, YOU!" (I guess she thought he was just going to leave o.o) and bangs her hand on the wall as she says "I'll ask you straight out! What were you doing yesterday?". Makoto says "What do you mean? I was at work-", but Ito cuts him off and says "Don't lie to me! I went there to see you yesterday". Mako realizes he's caught and says "Damn..." under his breath, but stays kind of silent as Ito asks him "Why?".
Makoto changes the subject and asks Ito if she plans to continue working at the restaurant, since summer vacation starts the next day. Ito replies that she does, and tells Mako not to change the subject. She asks Makoto why he's so distant, and then asks if he doesn't need her. Makoto starts to say that it's not that, it's just that the restaurant's by the sea and it's dangerous and such things, but Ito won't have it. She smacks Makoto's hand away and Makoto surprisedly says "Ito-san! o.o". Ito says "I'm not listening to you! I'm gonna do whatever I want to too! So don't go mouthing off!" and runs off. Makoto looks after Ito worriedly and wonders if he made her mad again (^_^; I'd say so! Oh, Mako, you're so bright and yet so clueless sometiiiimes) as Nobuko and Misaki look on from the back of the gym and wonder if Ito and Mako had a fight.
Finally, July 23 has arrived! Apparently Ito has been ignoring Mako since their fight at the gym, and at the restaurant Makoto is following Ito around saying that he has to talk to her. Ito replies that she's working, but Makoto says they can talk when they get off from work. But Ito is still not budging and says "No way. I'll go home right after that. I've decided not to talk to you for now. Got that?" (Makoto thinks to himself that they were talking just now and that Ito's not supposed to say anything if she says she won't talk to him ^____^;).
Suddenly, they both hear one of the waitresses say "Please let me go!". Ito and Mako look over to see what's going on, and they see a bunch of surfer dudes who are pulling onto her arm, telling her to come hang out with them and such things. The waiters in the back see what's happening but they're all too chicken to do anything about it because the surfer dudes outnumber them, but in the end decide to try to save her. But, luckily for them, they end up not having to. Ito is gentlemanly and goes to help the waitress, explaining to the dudes that it's not possible that the waitress come hang out with them, for her shift isn't over yet. The dude nearest to Ito basically tells her to mind her own beeswax and pushes Ito away, touching her chest in the process o.o Ito's really pissed now, but tries to remind herself that she has to be polite to them (cause they're still customers and all) and to be an adult about it.
But the dude looks at his hand in surprise and then at Ito and says "Hey...are you a girl?". Everyone in the restaurant (for everyone was watching by now) including waiters and waitresses are all shocked upon hearing this (some of the waitresses say "No waaay!!) and Makoto goes "!". Ito thinks that this is a baaad situation, for if they find out she's a girl, she'll be fired (ahaha, now Ito's the one keeping such a secret!) and she thinks "I'm not supposed to be Mako!" (ooh, she thought like me!). She calmly/nervously tells the dudes that she's a guy, but they still don't believe her and they all start groping her everywhere to make sure (O.o!). To add insult to the injury, even after all their groping, they're still not sure (but one of them's like "but don't you think her body's kinda soft and squishy?" ^_^; AHAHA! *ahem*). Ito finally (and understandably) snaps and punches the first surfer dude out, saying "CUT IT OUT!!".
The other surfer dudes go "WHY YOU!! Okay, it's a guy! Let's go!" and go after Ito to beat her up (Ito's like "What?!"). The manager's holds his face worriedly and wails about his restaurant, which is about to be destroyed, as Mako walks by with a stick (o.o Whoa, Mako...who knew you were so violent!). Ito and the dudes fight for a bit, throwing insults back and forth, but then one of the dudes grabs Ito by the shirt and it opens up revealing her bra. o.o Then another dude comes up from behind and is about to hit Ito with a chair, but his plan is foiled when Mako shows up with the stick he brought from the kitchen and blocks the chair (Ito's just clutching her shirt closed now). Mako smiles at the dudes and says "Violence is no good, sirs. It's just painful. Like this, and this, and this!". And for every "this" he said, Mako whacked a surfer's head (Ahahaha, I rhymed! ...*sobs* Okay, I lied. For some surfers he whacked their tummies instead >.< *is shamed*). After Mako whacked the last surfer's head (and it WAS a head this time), Ito thinks Mako's real scary (as do most of the people there too, probably, especially the scary aura he has around him at the moment). The surfer dudes yell at each other to beat Mako up even if he's "a babe", but they all apparently have enough gentlemanliness left (or are too scared) to beat Mako up. But Mako just smiles scarily and tells them "Thank you for coming. The exit is this way". The dudes leave with their tails between their legs, whining about how Mako's not a "normal woman" and how they'll never go back to that restaurant again.
After they're gone, Mako goes over to Ito (who's still clutching her shirt) and asks her if she's ok, and fixes Ito's clothes around (and basically touching her all over like the surfer dudes did ^_^; Ahaha, Mako, you sly dog! *ahem* And...apparently he was particularly po'd cause the surfer dudes touched Ito even when Mako himself hadn't touched her yet. Whoooa). Ito apologizes, but Mako says he predicted something like this would happen and that that's why he didn't want Ito to work there. Ito thinks back to when Mako was explaining that it was dangerous and such and realizes it's true.
But they are interrupted by Mr. Managerdude, who is not happy about his restaurant being destroyed (the waitresses in the back are like "Whoa, she IS a girl!"). Ito is about ready to begin explaining, but Mr. Managerdude says "You're BOTH FIRED!". And with that, Mako and Ito's dabble in the workforce ended for the time being.
On their way home, Ito and Mako comment on what a nice evening it is and how it's been a while since they returned home like that. But Ito suddenly remembers that Mako had said he wanted to talk to her and asks him what it was he wanted to say. Mako explains he just wanted to tell her why he'd been avoiding her before, and Ito thinks "Oh yeah! What is it he was hiding so sneakily?". Mako takes a prettily-wrapped...canthing and tells Ito to take a look at it. He says if she likes it, he'll give it to her. Ito's like "What is it?" but Mako asks her to tell him what she thinks of it first. Ito thinks that the conversation went off on a different direction and looks at the canthing confusedly. Finally, she asks Mako if it's canned food (AHAHA) but Mako tells her "It's perfume" (Ito's like "What!? This canthing is perfume?!"). He goes on to say "Today's July 23rd, right? It's your birthday!".
Ito blushes badly and is surprised. Makoto goes on explaining, saying he wanted to give it to her in a more special way or cooler place or such, but it just didn't come out right (aaawww!!). Ito runs after him and tells him to wait, but he turns around and tells her "You asked me before if I didn't need you...but that's not it at all. I want you to know more about me. Because you're the most important woman to me. Don't forget that." (AAAW! And he even used the male "ore" to refer to himself tooo!).
And so he hugs and holds Ito cutely and asks her if she'll accept his present. Ito snatches the present and clutches it closely to her chest blushing really badly (she looks so cute, like she thinks someone will steal it), and Makoto smiles and says "I'm glad". Ito blushes further and says "Thank you, Mako!!" and thinks to herself "UWAAA! What should I say!? I'm so HAPPY!!".
Mako then says "The truth is, I paid my sister back long ago for the school trip. Now I just have to pay this summer's gas, electricity, water-" and he's going off reciting all his expenses (poor Mako), but he gets cut off by Ito, who covers his mouth up saying "Aaah, I get it!". But then Ito asks Mako where he was the other day when he wasn't at work, and Mako tells her that's when he went to actually buy the present ^_^! Ito's still shaking and not calming down cause she's so happy, but Mako tells her that's one of her good points and one of the things he likes about her, plus it's amusing. He says Ito becomes so involved, she can't see but "that one person". Then he takes her hand and says "Let's go home".
Ito thinks about how Makoto was thinking about her the whole time she was afraid he wasn't. She decides to be wiser and not so hasty from now on. As they walk home holding hands, Ito asks Mako more...
Ito: "You don't have any more secrets, do you?"
Makoto: "Nope!"
Ito: "Really?"
Makoto: "Though I do have a lie"
Ito: "What does that meaan?"
Makoto: "But I think I already gave it away. Besides, I'll tell you when the new semester starts..."
And so, the chapter ends with Ito thinking "Let's walk slowly together".
THE END!
PHHHEEEW! I did it! *SOBS* I FINISHED IT IN ONE DAY! Oh...Oh...I can't feel my legs...I'm so happy! o.o I...I know my storytelling skills...are not very good, but I hope this was good enough! Erm...and feel free to comment on this entry, even if just to say "AW DARNIT I WANT A MAKO TOOO!". Cause I would understand, and then I would nod wisely and say "I know, my friend, I know...cause I do too." And now, if you'll excuse me...I'm going to sleep! @_@ *keels over*

I have no excuse. I am seriously late with everything. It's been a month since the last update. >.< I won't even try to make excuses. The fact is I'm actually trying to work out some webpage issues stuff (I'm trying to get my own domain, for these pop ups are driving me NUTS) and school is driving me insane too. I'm not kidding. >.< This semester SUCKS!
So as I struggle with school and such, I haven't had much time to do much else. But! This doesn't mean I've given up on WJ! Not at all! But updates will probably be closer to once a month now (twice a month once in a while!). So yeaah... But it shall be done! >.< I keep saying thaaat. *siiighs*

I have so much stuff to redo/do for this website! Ok...ok...lemme try to "regroup" my thoughts... I have to....
·Redo the characters section completely (I must add more stuff!)
·Finish volume 3 and keep doing the rest of the translations
·Do those summaries!!!
o.o I have slacked! I am evil! >.< I am the scum between my own toes! I am slow! I crawl upon mah belly with shaaaaaaaaaame!!! *crawls* ;_; Yes...the only way to seek redemption is...TO DO THESE HERE TASKS SET UPON ME BY MYSELF! And so...with impunity...I undertake the tasks I have mentioned. *cracks whip at herself* WORK!

Well, I spoke with my young buddy, Immora, and she said she shall help me find a new page layout! I must say...I shall miss the wings. But it's just that it doesn't seem to look quite right in fancy computers... And so, that's what shall happen!
And! I got one of those fast url thingies! It is http://dear.to/wjuliet! o.o "dear to" sounds funny perhaps, man, but "click.to" just sounded so generic and they had like "wakeup.to" and such but I didn't like any of those and "dear to" makes it sound sort of like...a manga. ^_^; You know!! Manga always have weird names! Like "Beat Fruit" and "Dear Mine"? Anyway! I figure it's useful if I change my website to someone else, man (which I hope to do in the near future!). I have to find a better seeeerver with no ads. But for now, angelfire shall have to do.

Hmm..I was looking at this page with a really super high powered computer with huge monitor and such! And I realized...it looks kinda funky! So I wondered how I could fix it to keep it so simple that everyone can access it, yet organized and good-looking. But I can't come up with jack. Oh well! The content is the importantness to me right now.

Happy New Year, everybody!! I hope you all had a good celebration and I wish you neat things for the new year!
But yes...>.< I'm late AGAIN. But see...the thing is (this is my cheap excuse, man), when I get tired, I try to take a break and all! ...That....came out weird. Let me try again. Actually! I shall try with a funny lil story! *ahem* ^_^;;
When I was but a wee child...our English teacher gave us a project on "A Christmas Carol". I was all happied and pleased, for I loved the story. But...the project was so meticulous and long and such that...I actually began to hate the story itself.
And so, that is my problem. I fear that if I force myself to work too hard on translating WJ...I might end up hating it too...*sniffle*
Or maybe it's all just a cheap excuse o.o ^_^;; Ehehe....I MUST GO OOOOOON! >.< FOR MY PRIDE!

I'm taking a lot longer to update this time >.< I keep being dragged to places and then I have to do many other translations for other people too and waaaah. ;_; BUT! Volume 2, part 5 is practically done! In fact, I'm probably going to put it up either tomorrow or the next day (cause I have to go out tomorrow). So...fear not! I have not yet given up! And when I put it up it will be...MY FIRST COMPLETELY TRANSLATED VOLUME! *_* YAAAY! And it only took me like, what, half a year to do it!! ^_^; >.< I need better mad skillz! Actually, I need to be more...consistent. ^_^; Or something! Either way, volume 3 is next! YAAAAAAAAY!

No, really! It's applicable to the page! Actually I had this dream a couple of nights ago but only got around to writing it just now. Ok, here it goes!
There was a W Juliet amusement park! o.o And...it was all pretty and Makoto and Ito were there and they were like...thanking me for translating the series (^_^;;;) so I was the Guest of Honor. And Emura was there too! And...she was BRITISH O.o And she said she did the original manuscripts in English and then got her friend to translate them into Japanese! So I was all like "But duuuude! This is uncool, for I suffered translating them into English! You shoulda given me the original manuscripts!" and she said "Well, but then you wouldn't be Guest of Honor!" and I said "o.o You're right!". And there were rides for each of the characters and Takashi had a Haunted Mansion and yeaaah. ^_^; That was my dream! This is how you know you've been translating W Juliet for too long. o.o

And as my friend Tanin herself said when she cheered me up, "As a manga fan, I can tell you, anything's better than nothing". And so I toil on!! ;_; I hope the translations are being useful to someone...Let me know, maaan! Tell me "They were useful to me" or "They did not completely suck"! *is selfish and insecure* ^_^;;;; Ahahahhah >

I was reading volume 5 today (for I'm DYING to get done with 2 so I can move on to 3 and 5, which are my favorites ^_^; *is trying!! ><* ) and it was so cute! There's this part where Toki saves Nobuko from one of Takashi's goons who had kidnapped her, and it was cute cause he picked her up and she was like "Toki-senpai!" and Toki said to the guy like "What do you think you're doing kidnapping my cute lowerclasspeople?!" and then after he scared the guy away, Misaki and Nobuko hugged Toki and it was all big brotherly like and cuuuuute! *_* ^_^; Yeah, that was all...
Dude, volume 5 is the coolest. It seems most everyone in the cast shows up in that one! All of the other volumes are missing someone.
Oh yeah!!! And it was funny in volume 4, I think, cause in one part Yoshirou was smoking (-.-) and he had his cigarrette box and Ito tookit from him and she tossed it to Mako and Mako kept it until the end of the volume, when he switched it with Takashi's camera and then Takashi got in trouble with the teacher! Ahahahaha!
...Maybe I should write this down on the page ^_^;;; >.< Summaries...do summaries!!

"Sleepless Beauty" (SAKUMA RYUUICHIIII! *_* ) |
] |
Dude...I am now officially ancient! My retainer feels like dentures. I bet this is what dentures are like, man. But I always promised myself I'd get rainbowy dentures. You know! One tooth blue, next one yellow, next one red, etc.! And then my grandkids would say "Smile for us again, grandma!". But no. I don't even get that satisfaction, cause my dentures, I mean, my retainer is clear.
But ENOUGH! Enough about my dentures! Today was a day of...oddness. I found out I have 3 tests next Thursday (WAH!) and I MUST ace all of them. I cannot get no more Bs, man! My scholarship! My pride! My life! MY PLAYSTATION! They all depend on it. I must succeed!
I have much work to do, man... I am wrongful! I have so much to translate that I have not translated...here's another episode of how Ingmar translates!
How Ingmar Translates
1. Gets the materials ready.
2. Reads a couple of sentences and is pleased cause she is understanding it all so far.
3. Translates it into English and writes it down.
4. Comes across a line she doesn't understand.
5. Is unable to deal with the confusion, wails out in frustration, and stops for some hours.
6. Comes back a few hours later to realize that she still doesn't know what it means (surprise, surprise!).
7. Wallows in self-pity for a bit.
8. Suddenly realizes what it might mean.
9. Checks to verify.
10. Success! It does mean that!
11. Translates it into English and writes it down.
12. Stops for the day.
And now you see why it takes me so friggin long ^_^; HEEEEEE >.<
Oh! Oh! And...since I don't know anyone in all of my classes except one, I've decided to...name my chairs/desks. ^_^; NO, IT'S NOT PATHETIC! It's fun! If you commune with your chair, it's nicer on your butt! So I named my chairs...
1. Economics/Sociology Chair (it's the same classroom and chair for both classes) - Kumagorou! Named after Sakuma Ryuuichi's bunny!
2. Psychology Chair - Nuigurumi (because I just like the sound of that word)
3. Law Chair - Kikki (after Kazumi-sensei's kitty!)
With my luck, I bet one or two of these names have bad meanings, like fungus or snot. -.- But...;_; I love them anyway! And maybe the chairs will remember more than I do about the day's lecture and tell me answers on the test!
Aaand...I'm almost done with vol. 1, part 4! NO, REALLY! >.< I'm seeeerious! Believe me! ^_^; *is serious* Yep! Man, I really wanna do vol 3, part 3! Kouhei's so cuuuuuute! And such! Vol. 2 is nice but...to much Takashi bugs me. And Takayo bugs me even more. Maybe one day I'll grow to love them better but for now, my favorite villains are all the others. Tsugumi has such bad luck with Ito, you gotta pity her! And Toki...is amusing! And Sakamoto is nifty and Kouhei is cute! So I guess my rivals lovingness order is...
1. Kouhei
2. Sakamoto
3. Tsugumi
4. Toki
5. Takashi
6. Takayo
Duuude...Why do I dislike Takayo so? I have no idea. Maybe as I translate more and learn more about her, I'll like her more, but this is my stance for now! o.o

Perhaps I am not as good as others but....I'm...giving you eeeeeverything, all the blablabla *sings that old Spice Girls song* >.< Oh, I'm so ashamed...
