Yay!! I finally finished scanning all the chapters *cheers* Go me XD

I know I should just give you all the link to the scans, but I just wanted to make something clear beforehand.

About the scans: I want to make it very clear to everyone that dls the scans that I put up that they are for personal use only and are not to be used for scanlations and are not to be distributed without my consent. I support the authors/artists by buying their stuff so you all should do the same. If I catch anyone doing it, then I'll just stop sharing; simple as that. On a lighter note, if there's a particular series you'd like to see scans of, let me know and I'll try my best to get them if I have the time ^_^

I've posted this note up before, but I thought it was necessary to reiterate it, b/c Selphie (on the furuba ml) recently caught someone direct linking the scans she puts up. You'd think ppl would know better than to do stupid shit like that -_- Anyway, I've put up a total of 28 chps. of various series in my sl account, which you can access here.

Scans: hot gimmick, nana, peach girl, furuba, shani GO, kare kano, love monster, tsuki no shippo, aishiteruze baby, bleach, death note, poft, one piece, naruto, tsubasa, & sdk. Each chapter is compressed and you can also dl each picture individually if you choose to. Enjoy ^^

Shizukaさんお待たせしました！！！しゃにGOのスキャンはやっとできましたね～　
ほんとうにすいませんでした！！　

No WJ this week, but there's supposed to be some special stuff in this month's akumaru Jump. A special bleach poster, some more info on the new tenipuri movie, and also a death note side story. Hopefully when I go back to LA the kinokuniya there will have it. If you dl the newest poft chapter (genius 251) I've also scanned some color inserts of some random tenipuri stuff: there are some new plushes and also a new single called "Gather". Umm... I've also scanned a page about the musicals coming up. There are going to be 2 in winter musicals: side Fudoumine~special match & side Yamabuki featuring St. Rudolph. There's a pic of the Yamabuki players, but the pictures really bad... can't really see much XD

There's going to be a special furoku in HtY #4 that comes out on 1/20. It's a special drama cd and it includes a special furuba story in it. There's also gakuen alice and meine liebe too. When I get my hands on it, I'll see if I can rip it. Next month's HtY also comes w/ a special furuba stamp. Oh yeah, Nakajo-sensei's new series is starting on HtY #5. It's called "Sugar Princess". It's apparently a shoujo manga about love and figure skating XD Oh and furuba #16 is coming out on 1/19. And who's on the cover?? keyword: ane-san.

Color picture of the student council hanging out and Nao coming up screaming,"You guys! What about our work!" Chapter starts off with Yuki having to reject another girl who is professing their love for him. He apologizes of course. The girl walks off crying and Yuki can't help but feel bad about what he's done. The text in the boxes say: I've always thought, when the time comes to say goodbye to the person you love draws near, what is the one thing you want to say to them? Yuki's walking down the hall when someone hesitantly calls out to him. It's Motoko and she's kneeling in a doorway to a classroom I believe. She greets Yuki and he seems real surprised to see her there.

Y: Minagawa-senpai...?! What are you doing down there? Are you feeling illl?
M: N-no, no. That's not it Yuki. This is, well... various circumstances...

She then tells Yuki that she has a favor to ask him. "Today... after school and after you've finished your student council duties... if you have the opportunity, there's something I want to talk to you about...!! She tells him that she'll be wating for him in the garden and asks if he'd come. Yuki seems a bit surprised by her question, but then hesitantly agrees. There's a flashback of Yuki and Motoko. Motoko's very happy and thanks Yuki. Yuki seems to realize what she wants to tell him and starts to say something, but she cuts him off by telling him,"Of course. Please don't worry about the time. It's all right. I have a lot of free time. Well then, I'll be waiting for you Yuki..." Motoko then notices Manabe and Nao walking toward them. She greets them both (Manabe-san & Sakuragi-kun) and tells them to work hard with their student council duties. She leaves and Manabe takes the opportunity to annoy Yuki.

M: What's this Yun-yu~n. You're being asked out again~? (Even though it's the princess~)

Yuki thinks he's being insensitive. Manabe says,"That is insensitive. You understand that person's feelings now right?

Yuki and the student council are supposed to working but they're actually just talking about Motoko. Actually everyone seems to be working except for Kimi XD Kimi's saying that even though she understands that there's no chance for Motoko if she confesses, don't they think that's a bit selfish? She feels a bit sorry for Motoko. Manabe then cuts says something about the confession process being a tiring experience and that they've basically gotten Kimi's own report on it. She agrees it's really terrible ^^;;; Nao's in the background looking rather irate. Kimi (or Manabe - not sure which, lol) then says,"Yun-yun, you've had it rough these past several days with everyone asking you out, right? You always have this gloomy look on your face." Yuki thinks back to the last girl he had to reject and says that he doesn't want to hurt them...

Nao then slams his hand down and goes off on the rest of them. I'm kind of iffy on what he says at first about how because he's hurt all these people that he has to carry that guilt on his back - basically karma. Manabe then decides to tease Nao,"What's this shorty~~ Are you jealous of how popular Yuki is? Shorty~" Nao flips out and tells him to stop calling him Shorty (chibi). He then yells at Yuki.

N: In any case, I am short!! I'm not even taller than my older sister!! Is that so wrong?! Do short people have no right to exist?!"
Y: Uh no. I didn't say anything at all... You have an older sister?
N: You want to say that a man's appeal is decided by his height right!!

Kimi then cuts in.

K: That's not it at all Nao-chaan. It's not about height or looks. A man's appeal is (and here she goes all sparkly *kira kira*) how much money he has. (lol, Kimi cracks me up)
Y: Uwa
M: It's true.

Nao's stunned for a second and then...

N: Gaaaaahhhhhh!!! In any case, I was raised in an ordinary household!! I could never possibly have as much wealth as the Sohmas and that's just fine with me!!
Y: No, the Sohma family's things aren't necessarily mine...
N: They'll sooner or later be yours!!
Y: Eehh!? That's not... but... yeah... you're right...
N: Are you showing off (or boasting)!!!
Y: ...I'm sorry. Hm... what should I do...
M: Don't do anything.

Kimi then comes to a realization and gets it right. She tells Nao,"I get it! Nao-chan has someone he likes right!" This surprises Nao and Kimi goes on saying how the girl he likes, likes Yuki so that's why Nao's always "burning" with these jealous feelings. Manabe then remembers that Nao had once called Yuki his rival. Yuki remembers also.

K: Ne----!? Isn't it true Nao-chan?
M: Is it, Nao-chan?

Nao goes red in the face and then flies out of the room screaming, "BAKA!!!"

M: Ah. So it is true.
K: Eeeh~~ I wonder who Nao-chan likes?

Manabe pats Yuki on the head (yosh yosh) and tells him that sucked (literally: that was a disaster) and to leave Nao alone for a while. Because right now inside Nao, Yuki's the bad guy. Yuki swats Manabe's hand away. Manabe then tells Yuki,"A good person's good potentials are all erased. And they can't see anything else other than that bad guy. And during that time, anything that person says is useless."

K: Ah.... Could it be that Nao-chan likes Kimi....
M: I don't think it's you, Kimi-chan.
K: eeh... are you jealous too Kakeru... you're kidding~
M: Eh- no, Kimi. (text is too small... >.<)

Yuki thinks about what Manabe said while Machi watches him.

Y: They can't see anything else other than the bad guy... huh?

He remembers himself back then saying,"The cat is an idiot." Manabe and Kimi go on talking and the text is really freakin' small, but Manabe says something about him also being in rabu rabu mode right now. Kimi doesn't believe it. While the two of them are talking Machi seems to want to say something to Yuki, but then gets plowed over by Kimi.

K: Yun-yun loves Kimi!
Y: Machi!!? Kimi... you shouldn't you'll hurt someone.
K: Iya~n. Are you worried about me?
Y: N-no, that's not it. Machi, are you all right?!

Scene changes to Motoko sitting and waiting for Yuki. She's thinking that after she graduates her place in this school will have disappeared. That everything here will have changed to someone else's place. She sees Yuki coming toward her and smiles.

Y: I'm sorry... to have kept you waiting.
M: It's okay. I'm just happy you came... and right away.... I-i'm so sorry... I don't know how I should say this... it's no good...

Yuki sits down next to her and watches her. Motoko then slowly tells him that she's happy that she met Yuki. She's also happy that she came to this high school. Everyday felt like a festival to her, making so much noise being angry, laughing, and making a whole lot of trouble. And in her heart, there was always Yuki. "I loved you so much. I loved you so much Yuki. That's why I wish that only happiness will come into your possession. And if you are happy now I can only hope for more happiness for you." She tells Yuki that she was able to spend her time day after day happily and that was something that Yuki gave her. And even though she can't go back to that way, she wanted to thank him. She wasn't standing there for the sake of fulfilling her own feelings. But she wanted to tell him that she was happy. That she had fun, that she was really glad to have been able to meet him. Yuki reaches over to wipe her tears away and thanks her. Yuki tries to tell her that he never noticed her feelings when she stops him and tells him that she's in a very good mood right now and that if he apologizes to her that she'll cry. She can't help if though, and she does cry again. The 3rd years graduate, Makoto is bawling and the Prince Yuki fanclub are all depressed and listless not knowing what to do without Motoko. Motoko is standing by herself in an empty classroom when someone walks in. The person asks if she is sad to be leaving.

M: ...you caught me. I'm sorry, I just wanted to see these classrooms one last time.

She then turns to leave when the person reaches out to grab her hand and it's Nao. Nao's blushing and tries to tell her something, blushes then looks away. He then looks at her again and instead of telling her he likes her (which we all know he does) he does the same thing as Motoko did with Yuki and tells her what he wishes for. She seems surprised by his words but then grabs her hand and tells him to take care and thank you. Manabe and Yuki see Nao and Manabe asks him if he's finally calmed down. Nao says that he's always calm and then asks Yuki if all the work for today's been done. Yuki replies,"of course."

Scene chances to a mother holding a baby. It's Satsuki and she's holding her knew baby girl Hinata while Hiro sits at her bedside. Satsuki's talking about how both her children are so cute and explaining their names. I think Hiro's name means the road's light Hinata's name means the place where the sun is shining. Hiro sits there with an indulgent smile while Satsuki tells Hinata about her big brother Hiro and how he's going to be in junior high this year. She then tells him if he wants to hold her, that this is his chance. Hiro immediately refuses and says that Hinata's a girl and that he can't. Satsuki says it's all right and that she'll just hold both of them.

At the main house, Shigure, Hatori, and Isuzu are hanging out and Kagura says that Rin didn't go to her graduation ceremony because she was readmitted to the hospital. Shigure then says is that so. And then says it was very nice of her to act as a replacement to accept Rin's diploma. Kagura asks them if Rin really did go back to the hospital. Hatori confirms it. But Kagura says that even before she went back to the hospital she didn't even know where Rin was since she hadn't contacted her. Shigure then tells her didn't her mother tell her. Kagura said she did, but she can't help feel uneasy about Rin not having come back. And of course there's Akito with a pair of scissors and hair. Hmm... who's hair did she chop off? Guess we'll have to wait until next time XD

Anyway only had time to do 1 summary. I'll do one for hot gimmick & kare kano like I promised... just need more time >.<

wasabi fiend~
