1. "I never even made sure Mia's the right one..."
2. "Try looking before you leap for once, you idiooot!"
3. "At least... I told her to leave a reply in her desk. If she didn't mind."
4. "But what are the chances..."
5. "She left one back!?"
6. For who left the letter
1. For who left the letter.
2. Thank you very much for writing to me.
3. Please would you be my friend?
4. "So that was it..."
5. "It really was Mia..."
6. "...Her handwriting's the same."
7. I want a friend
1. "...What now?"
2. That started our silly little exchanges.
3. "Another reply?"
4. It would go like this:
5. "I'd slip in a letter."
6. "Mia would leave a reply in her desk."
7. "I'd sneak in and get it."
8. For who sent the letters
1. I must look like an idiot
2. sneaking in before school starts.
3. I wanted to know what should I call you?
4. "I wasn't planning on introducing myself..."
5. "You can call me whatever you want."
6. Then I think I'll call you my desk ghost.
7. "Ghost? I'm a ghost?"
8. "That's cool!"
1. Even when her Japanese grammar was shaky, Mia never once wrote in English.
2. I think she felt too driven and stubborn to stop.
3. But I respected that. I admired that.
4. "I'd use simple Japanese, trying to be considerate."
5. "But that felt rude after seeing her efforts. So I started intentionally using idioms."
6. "but you can't trade your back for your belly and all."
7. "That's 3 idioms I fit in this one..."
8. "He heh..."
9. And she still replied faster than I was ready for.
10. "Al-ready...!?"
11. "I only left that yester-day!"
12. "She's still getting the hang of it yet she wrote this many pages..."
13. For Miss Desk Ghost
1. Each written as carefully as she could.
2. It reminded me of learning English back when.
3. Tracing in the practice books,
4. neatly following every line.
5. What I'm saying is accuracy comes from a level of practice.
6. It comes naturally the more you use it.
7. "Something you'd never expect from me."
8. "Shut uuup!"
9. "You could be a doctor with those scribbles~"
10. And my letters with Mia were our battle-ground.
11. "Keep it up, see what happens!"
1. "What do you like to do in your free time, Miss Ghost?"
2. "Uhh?"
3. "Hey, I said we gotta take her out to karaoke!"
4. "Oh..."
5. I like listening to music. What kind of music do you like, Mia-san? Maybe play it on your desk for me.
6. So your desk ghost can hear too.
7. "Hey!"
1. "What-'cha listening to?"
2. "Hey, uh."
3. "Hohh. Never heard of that band before."
4. "... This ..."
5. "You ..."
6. "You ever try singing?"
1. "Miss Ghost! I made a friend!"
2. "We went to the karaoke together!"
3. "Whoa-aa!"
4. "That worked!?"
5. "Nice going!"
6. "Madarame-san's the expert on tea and probably knows some good cafes."
7. "How about dropping that in a conversation with her?"
8. "You said before you liked scones, didn't you?"
9. "You must have put in some work too..."
10. "Hmm-m..."
11. "Soo..."
1. "There's a place in Hiroo with the most wonderful scones; we should go!"
2. "I love scones as well!"
3. "Okay...!"
4. That girl's into anime.
5. That girl's secretly a futsal ace.
6. That girl's great at drawing.
7. And they're all extra nice, you know?
8. All really just hoping for an opportunity.
9. It just takes a little push.
1. "No letter today either..."
2. Over time...
1. Hopefully the letters helped her express herself smoothly...
2. as Mia's messily copied words cleaned up,
3. she just as easily made friend after friend.
4. "She must be busy these days..."
5. But our letter relay slowed to a trickle.
1. "Oh crap!"
2. "Uh, I uhh, I was just..."
3. "Are you in this class...?"
4. "Crap, I got caught!"
5. "At least it's some girl I don't know~!"
6. "Sorry, wrong room~!"
7. Mia.
8. Mia,
9. who used to be hurting for friends to talk to.
1. Right.
2. Real ones.
3. You must be in a dream, surrounded by them now.
4. Friends with real names to call them by.
5. Not some ghost.
1. That was when the curtain began to fall on our letters.
2. "Good for you."
3. Those words came from the heart. But they didn't tell all that was there...
1. The Princess of Sylph (still ongoing, still translating, check links)
2. I See You, Aizawa-san!

4. Couldn't convey this but Mia's handwriting was improving each panel here. I did use 3 different fonts but the problem with fonts is they're all too legible.
