Film Girl you shouldn't need to request, it'll already be on there (because I requested it :D)

I tried dropping 12 things in my cart just to see what the price was, and it was still under 5000 (before shipping-I don't think that counts toward the total). So I think you'd need 13 at least. It is a lot of books... The way the discount works is that they send you points you can redeem on future purchases, so there wouldn't be a really easy way to split it (I guess whoever ordered could apply a percentage of the discount toward the other person's order.) I'll think about it though!

Oh, Tsubaki the train otaku still cracks me up :D It's on pg78, the "Tsubaki-kun and Kanoko-chan" extra page at the end of the second chapter. It's something like a deleted scene: chronologically it took place when they were on their way to the restaurant. As they're walking Kanoko is thinking about how long it takes to get from their old school to her far-away new one, and she really does think it's rather strange to go through all that all the time even if they are friends, and she wonders just how much time he spends riding trains, anyway? And then it all suddenly clicks and (panel 5) she imagines Tsubaki keeping a diary/journal about his train rides, taking pictures of trains, excitedly reading about different routes... :D (she doesn't say any of this though, just thinks it to herself.)

Heh, I saw them and thought that you had requested it :D :) I put "Film Girl" in my "saved items" bin. I have a couple volumes that are a bit more expensive "Saiunkoku" 6 and 7 for instance!
Thanks for explaining about train Otaku. I've always wondered about the extra pages :) That's part 2, right?
What happens to part 1 on page 36 and part 3 on 104?
I assume that on 103, Tsubaki's sister asked him why Kanoko or tried to show him pictures of girls whom she thought more suitable for him?
I really like how Tsubaki kept looking at Kanoko's photo taken at the festival and even put it next to his pillow. He has it bad! :D

Yeah, that was part 2 :D Part 1... let me get back to you on that one. I didn't get everything in it when I read it-was too lazy to look up all the words I didn't know ^^;

Part 3, and the 4-panel on the page before, right? (that one's "Warau Onee-sama (Laughing Big Sister).") In the 4-panel, Tsubaki's sis asks him which of the three girls he'd go out with. He starts to answer noncommittally, like "It doesn't really matter" or something. Sis screams "Haru-kun!!!" (Tsubaki's given name) and he changes his answer to "...the one in the middle?" Sis concludes to herself, "They really are just-friends." and "Haru-kun's heart is mine!"

And page 104-hopefully I'm not misunderstanding it too much. Tsubaki and Kanoko are talking about his sister-Kanoko says Tsubaki and his sis are alike. Then they're talking about how he goes on trips with his family (...to see Kanoko, as we know, but it makes Kanoko think they must get along well) Then Tsubaki says his sister has a bad personality. "Just like Tsubaki-kun!" says Kanoko (second to last panel). Tsubaki responds, "Then you could be a member of the Tsubaki family too." Kanoko agrees (haha). The chart goes from bad on the left to good on the right-Kanoko's got a bad personality so she'd fit right in! Such a charming pair :D

wow. thanks a lot. I like this volume more and more. The author's sense of humor is just wonderful. I went back and looked at the volume again and again.
"let me get back to you on that one."
Yeah, anytime is fine. I'm in no rush. I post these questions so I don't forget to ask them later :)
1 more question: why did Natsukusa apologize to Hanai on page 158? It seemed that it had something to do with Hanai's crush - Tsubaki. I hope Hanai will return Natsukusa in the sequel. Poor guy.
