A NOTE ON CELL PHONE MAIL IN GIRL FRIENDS:
Some confusion has arisen as to whether this mail was sent by Mari to Harada, or sent by Harada to Mari.
The mail was sent BY MARI TO HARADA.
Here is how you can tell, with 100% certainty, whether a mail is being sent or received in Girl Friends:
When displaying received mail, date, sender and subject headers appear above the message.
When the message is one being sent by the user, there are no headers displayed.
Since no headers are present in the mail from chapter 19, we know it was being sent by Mari to Harada, meaning Harada was blowing off Mari by not responding on pg. 17.
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "Do your best at your club!"
2. "Cheer up! The springtime of love will come for us too!"
3. "Eh? You're still here, akko?"
4. "Are you by yourself? Where's mari-chin?"
5. "See-ya!"
6. "What about you, taguchi?"
7. "Hm?"
8. "I just forgot my towel."
9. "She already left."
10. "Something came up and she had to go see her boyfriend..."
12. ".........."
13. I should go home...
14. Somehow, this is just like back then...
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. From before she knew me, to when she met me...
2. Back when I was a kid, I was pretty quiet and plain.
3. I don't think I had a dark personality or anything, but I didn't play very much or have any friends.
4. Even during recess, I'd usually stay in the classroom.
1. My mom had to work hard to support the two of us, so I was often left at home by myself.
2. But I could do all the things I liked there...
3. So I didn't consider myself to be lonely.
4. "So cute... I wish I could wear that..."
5. "Clothes?"
6. "Ah... I'm really busy, so I don't have time to take you shopping."
7. "It's bad, but will you be able to go shopping by yourself from the station building, aki?"
8. "Eh?"
9. "You can buy whatever you want."
1. "It's fine if you want to change it."
2. "Your hair-type takes after your father's, but..."
3. "Do what you want with it."
4. "Um... I want my hair to be straight, so..."
5. "Is it okay if I get it permed?"
6. Once everyone at school saw how fashionable I had become, it became easy to make friends.
7. I started spending time doing all kinds of fun things with my friends...
8. Talking about fashion... Talking about hairstyles... Talking about who we liked...
1. "Even when I entered high school, things didn't change much."
2. "Ah! Transparent mascara! Where did you get it?"
3. "Huh? I just found it at a convenience store."
4. "You're so sophisticated! I just use Dejavu's mascara!"
5. "That's why I like Lancome mascara."
6. "Thin eyelashes can be good."
7. "Ah! That was in the bubble feature of this month's up magazine!"
8. "It's fun to pass the time doing the things I like with my friends..."
9. "Even just talking together is fun..."
10. "It's a cosmetics magazine. Should I bring it next time?"
11. "What magazine do you buy, Tamamin?"
12. "In middle school, I read Wings and..."
13. "'up'?"
1. But...
2. Then why...
3. That reminds me...
4. Ever since graduation...
5. I haven't gotten any mail from any of my middle school friends...
6. Does it feel like something is missing?
9. She's different from me...
10. Her hair is straight and shiny...
11. That girl...
12. She's so cute...
1. But...
2. She'd look even better if she cut it...
3. She'd be even cuter then...
4. I'd say...
5. "Hm"
6. Kumakura-san...
10. "Hey... Who's that girl over there?"
11. "Eh? The one on duty?"
12. "Kumakura-san, I think..."
13. "Ehe♡"
14. "Ahaha..."
15. "I thought you knew everyone's name, akko."
1. "Does she still not have any friends?"
2. "Even though it's already the second term..."
3. Over time, I noticed that she was almost always alone.
4. "Mari-chan!"
5. "Mariko kumakura..."
7. "What should I do?"
8. "Should I try to talk to her?"
9. "But I might just end up annoying her..."
10. If...
1. If I could become friends with that girl, I could...
2. Get her to cut her hair... Bring a smile to her face... I'm sure she'd be cuter then...
3. I want to teach her all the fun things I know...
4. I want to talk with her...
5. "She'd look so cute with a smile on her face..."
6. And laugh with her...
7. "Maybe too cute..."
8. "Alright, time's up! Pass your tests up to the front!"
11. "I wonder what kind of clothes she wears outside of school..."
12. "I wonder what kind of books she reads..."
1. It would be so great...
2. "Ma..."
3. If we could have that kind of friendship!
4. "Mari-chan, are you going to ichigaya? Want to go home with me?"
5. "Mari-chan!"
2. "We need another person for next week's mixer..."
3. "Looks like everyone is doing well!"
4. "Eh? Taguchi-chan, what happened to you!?"
5. "Ah! Sugi-san! Tamamin!"
6. "I did get sunburnt, but I've been taking special care of my skin ever since ♡"
7. "See? See?"
8. "Haha... As much as I'd like to go to the mixer..."
9. "Always looking for a chance to take off your clothes ..."
10. "This one is..."
11. "She's lucky to still be alive..."
12. "Geeze.."
13. "Sugi-san, your skin is still so fair... Did you not wear a swimsuit?"
14. "Want to see? ♡"
15. "Eh?"
1. "On... on purpose?"
2. "But I let this area stay tanned on purpose."
3. "But I'll still tell you what to use to get rid of sunburns."
4. "Somehow, I doubt that..."
5. "What's she trying to do..."
6. "I've waited my whole life to know!"
7. "That!!"
8. "Teach me that! Your post-sunburn care method!"
9. "What!? Something to make sunburns go away!?"
10. "I wanna know!"
11. "Wh... what is it?"
12. "This is against the rules."
13. "Kyaaah!"
14. "Before I tell you..."
15. "You'll have to show me the tan lines on your chest!"
16. "Let's see what's under that shirt!"
1. "Wh... What's this!?"
2. "You wore a cover-up the whole time we were at the beach!"
3. "Why won't you let me see your weird tan lines!?"
4. "Noooo! Don't do it!"
5. "Can't you see I'm worried about you?"
6. "Stooop!!"
7. "Her back is..."
8. "It's because of that weird swimsuit that she wore to the pool."
9. "Ahaha"
10. "Tan lines?"
11. And I'm laughing with her...
12. Today also...
13. Mari is laughing just like always...
14. Why...
15. Can't I look at mari's eyes when I talk to her...
1. "You made lots of progress, right?"
2. "I'm talking about with your boyfriend of course! Did you go to the beach? Did you go see fireworks?"
3. "By the way, how was your summer vacation, mari-chin?"
4. "Eh?"
5. "What about it?"
6. "Eh..."
7. "Um... We went to see fireworks..."
8. "I've already told you all about mine."
9. "So I want to hear about yours!"
10. "Yeah? And then?"
11. "Actually..."
12. "I think I've been dumped..."
1. "Eeeeh!?"
2. "For real!?"
3. "What!? Why!?"
4. "Ah... Um..."
5. "He broke up with you!?"
6. "He didn't say it explicitly, but..."
7. "During summer vacation? What happened!?"
8. "No way, when!?"
1. "The other day... The day that he called you during lunch?"
2. "Ah... Yes..."
3. "The other day, he said he wanted to see me, so we made plans to meet on the way home..."
4. "Eeeh!?"
5. "You were stood up!?"
6. "But harada-kun never showed up..."
7. "And nothing has happened since then?"
8. "Eh!?"
9. "And he hasn't been replying to my mails..."
10. "I think he's probably avoiding me..."
11. "I haven't seen him at the station since then..."
12. "So..."
13. "The station..."
14. "What a coward!"
15. "Eh!?"
16. "That's so cruel!"
17. "Eh? Um..."
18. "That's..."
1. "I'm sure it's my fault..."
2. "I don't think it's like that..."
3. "Um..."
4. "It's just that he doesn't want to hurt my feelings..."
5. "........."
6. "It's not your fault!"
7. "That guy..."
8. "It would never be mari's fault!"
9. "Is the worst!"
10. "He just doesn't have the guts to break up properly!"
1. But...
2. She doesn't have to stopover at that station...
3. But she may have kept getting off there every day and waiting for him...
4. Guys like that...
5. And yet...
6. She still keeps smiling for me.
1. But that kind of smile...
2. Isn't what I wanted!
3. This kind of feeling...
4. Is even worse than being alone!
5. But that's okay...
6. "Make me sick!"
7. "Akko..."
1. "Eh!?"
2. "That's right, he's terrible!"
3. "I couldn't stand having this happen to me!"
4. "Akko..."
5. "If you cry, mari-chin will..."
6. Kuno-chin... Akko...
7. Th... This is bad...
8. What's going on?
9. So how is it that we ended up in this situation?
10. So embarrassing...
12. "I... I'm sorry..."
13. "........."
1. "Akko... That's enough..."
2. "Ah..."
3. "......!"
4. "........."
5. Maybe this time, I'll meet someone who will stick around longer.
6. "Ahaha..."
7. "Sugi-san, about the next mixer..."
8. "Can I come?"
1. Geeze...
2. "........."
3. "What would you know about guys taguchi!?"
4. "That's mean!"
5. "She needs an honest guy!"
6. "Mari can't go!"
7. "No! The guys at mixers are no good!"
8. "That's so not true! For me anyways!"
9. "There's no such thing as an honest guy!"
10. "Eh!?"
11. "But I met ouji at a mixer, and he's an honest guy..."
12. "Probably..."
13. "Ah... Sorry, kuno-chin!"
14. "In my experience, trying to break up by cutting contact almost always ends badly."
15. "And leaves behind bitter feelings in both parties..."
16. "Eh?"
17. "Mari, are you okay with being dumped like this?"
1. "I think you should try to find a chance to apologize."
2. "Otherwise, you might never get the chance to."
3. "........."
4. I think she said that she'd try to meet up with her boyfriend again...
5. Over the school bell and tamamin blowing her nose...
6. I couldn't quite hear mari's response.
7. But the pain in my chest was too great for me to say anything...
