The second part of our Valentine's Day gifts, a scanlation!
Basically this was so funny that K and L ended up squealing and laughing on the bus ride home from the local bookstore, so we ended up translating it! And to torture herself and one-up her skills, L decided, to make into, a SCANLATION!
note: the manga reads from right to left~
MF IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT REPOST THESE SCANS ANYWHERE ELSE. THANK YOU.
The cast interviews page is a raw page, and the translations are here~

“The chest gets warm unintentionally…!?” Valentine’s Memories!
Nakayama Yuma (as Nakayama Yuma)
Elder sister, make some different flavoured chocolate!
I really like chocolate, but I’ve never received any from my classmates… Every year, my elder sister will make chocolate for her friends, and I would get some (smiles). But, my sister, she always makes the same flavour. I would think “I want to try some other flavours, so make some different ones~”.
Kikuchi Fuuma (as Kikuchi Fuuko)
I learnt how a girl feels from “Fuuko” ♥
I might have a lot of memories from being “a girl on Valentine’s Day” for this manga (smiles). In the scenes, I imagined Fuuko’s emotions and thought about her expressions, and sort of learnt about the nervousness that girls feel. But, I’m embarrassed to let my friends see me like this!!
Nakajima Kento (as Nakajima Kento)
My disappointed silhouette summoned “giri” chocolate!?
I get chocolate from my mother and grandmother every year ♪ But the truth is, I’m one of those who have never received “honmei” chocolate (cries). Previously, someone saw that I didn’t receive any chocolate and gave me some the next day. That was really “giri”. I guess my sorrow was communicated (smiles).
* honmei chocolate - chocolate given to the person a girl likes
* giri chocolate - “sympathy” chocolate given to friends and classmates
Takahata Misaki (as Takahata Misaki)
Chocolate with 75% cocoa would be good.
Memories…I don’t really have any. Actually, the people in my family don’t really like sweet stuff. Because there are people who prefer bitter flavours like us, if I am a girl, I think I would find out about his likes before choosing chocolate. It’s scary, but be brave and ask him directly!
Kamiyama Tomohiro (as Kamiyama Tomohiro)
My response will come from deep inside my heart.
When I was an elementary student, I received Valentine’s chocolate from a classmate. Now, if I receive chocolate, I would definitely want to respond on White Day. Using the acoustic guitar that I’m learning to play, I would write a really sweet ballad, and sing and strum my feelings in a song for her.
Shingaki Yuuto (as Shingaki Yuuko)
Rather than a big one, I would prefer to get a handmade one!
I like sweet stuff, so I want to get chocolate! But till now, I’ve only received a 60-cm chocolate block that my mother buys from the department store… If I get chocolate, I want it to be in the classroom after school, and the girl I like confesses to me with handmade chocolate…
Takemoto Shinpei (as Takemoto Shinpei)
Because it is long-awaited for, I want to it be public!
My grandmother sends me strawberries every year ♪ It’s a happy day because that’s my favourite food. But, I haven’t really received chocolate. The ideal situation would be, the girl I like gives me chocolate at the base of the school tower. I want to be proud of receiving it in front of everybody!
Kotaki Nozomu (as Kotaki Nozomi)
The “LOVE on the ♥”, I’ll never forget it!!
I received the most chocolates when I was in kindergarten. I actually got 20 chocolates! There was one amongst them that was heart-shaped with “LOVE” written on it. Because it was handmade, the impact was so great that I can’t forget it. In return, I bought cookies for everyone.
Fujii Ryusei (as Fuijii Ryusei)
Someone tell me why I’m not getting any chocolate!
To be honest, I forget about Valentine’s every year. Although, I haven’t been getting any chocolate recently. When I see my friends get chocolate, I’ll feel “I haven’t gotten any”. Is it because I don’t talk? I need to think about why I don’t get any.
Shigeako Daiki (as Shigeako Daimi)
Our belongings get checked on February 14 every year
It was my 6th year of elementary school. The last time my mother gave me chocolate. Furthermore, it was the small snack-sized kind that she bought from the supermarket. In school, our belongings get checked every February 14, so no one can bring chocolate… Every year, I don’t get excited and it passes by peacefully.
Morimoto Shintaro (as Nakayama Shintaro)
On February 14, I’ll rather have food than chocolate!
I don’t know anything about Valentine’s Day!! I haven’t received chocolate from either my mother or my sister till now. That’s because I don’t really like sweet stuff. More than that, I prefer the school lunch. I’ll be happy if we get something more luxurious than usual on February 14 ♪
Hamada Takahiro (as Hamada-sensei)
If you receive chocolate, you can’t get flustered…
When I was in elementary school, I received my favourite chocolate. But, it is a sad memory. Because I was happy and embarrassed, I hurriedly stuffed it into my bag. The chocolate melted in my bag on the way home. It smeared all over my textbooks and notebooks and I couldn’t eat it…
Nakata Daichi (as Nakata-sensei)
My heart anticipates a sweet surprise from the heart…
My mother gives me chocolate with a “Here you go!” My ideal situation would be, she calls me out to a nice park to give them to me when I have forgotten that it’s Valentine’s Day. Receiving chocolates from the hands of the girl I like, I would be so happy...
Uekusa Yuta (as Principal Uekusa)
These special days overlap every year~
My birthday and Valentine’s Day are on the same day. So, I’m very happy when my mother gives me a present and chocolate at the same time ♪ If I’m receiving chocolate from a girl, I want it to be at the school rooftop. Because there’s no one there, it won’t be embarrassing, right?
Kyomoto Taiga (as Vice-principal Kyomoto)
If I can get it, I want the whole class to know!
Chocolate count is zero. To the girls in the class, I’m like a younger brother. Seems like I’m not anyone’s love interest~ If I can get chocolate, getting it in a class meeting would be good. If it is passed from the giver in a relay style, wouldn’t everyone know?
we have a small request! if you enjoyed our scanlation, we are currently actively looking for the last two photo mangas from 2008 and 2007 (from the March issues of Myojo). And L is sure she's seen a KAT TUN one somewhere too, so if anyone can point us in the right direction, we'll be very grateful! (and do a scanlation of it too! ^__^ )
