Released in Hana to Yume issue 6, February 20th, 2010. Will be in volume 3!






"More and more 'she' is being revived."

Mizuki wakes up from dreaming of a girl with long wavy hair calling his name...

"Sana..."




----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The morning of the 2nd day of the training camp has started. It begins with a little quiz given by Yamada to Shiro. The one pop quiz question is as follows: "They did their very best, but the person who couldn't make their prince voice even once was...?"

Shiro raises her hand and answers: "M...Me".

Yamada claps and congratulates her for getting the right answer. Come hither everybody, we must applaud her! (^^) But enough about that. Breakfast is ready!

Shuuma sits at the table scoffing at Shiro's efforts. Even if they did prepare this retreat, it'll all end up being a complete waste afterall. He giddily turns to Mizuki to see if he agrees with him, but what he turns to is an entity of dark energy holding two tea pitchers both filled with boiling hot water! He asks Shuuma if he would like that hot water to be poured down his nose or if wants it poured on his head. Shuuma is scared out of his mind and wondering why the heck he's so angry, which Mizuki is glad to say it's because idols aren't supposed to belittle a girl's hard efforts. We hear a bunch of rattling as the scene shifts away from them.

Yamada tells Shiro that they're going to be doing things differently than what they were doing the 1st day of the retreat. The focus of this day is finding the reason Shiro is able to make the prince voice in the first place. What exactly causes it to happen? As Shiro takes this assignment in, Yamada tells her she must tell him by dinnertime. Until then, she will search for the answer.

Yamada: "Got it, Shiro? Don't disappoint me."

The time when her mother told her she was a disappointment surfaces to her mind and a hurtful throb beats in her chest. She must not disappoint them! She takes the assignment with serious determination.

To help her with this assignment is Mizuki, with Shuuma tagging along so he can make sure she doesn't do anything weird to Mizuki. Though Shiro had no idea this was going to happen, so she's at a loss of words. She has even fewer chances to say something when Mizuki jumps right into it. He gives her a buddy hug and goes on about how he'll tell her thing from his experience first and then...neh, he's cut off. Shiro asks what she'll be receiving help in, since she doesn't know herself. But she does point out that this problem was given to her and she wants to answer it herself. If she doesn't, she'd feel that this was all meaningless. But in addition to that, she would truly be grateful if they patiently help her with something. She formally bows and humbly requests that they do. The boys can't refuse it after she asks so kindly. So they agree to do it her way.

Shiro remembers the advise Mizuki gave her about referencing skillful people and takes advantage of not just one, but two actor-idols being there for her convenience. She gives Mizuki the script, but he gives it back after looking through it just once. Shiro is amazed at the professional level Mizuki is at.

Mizuki takes his glasses off and stands over Shiro and asks if she's ready. He performs the lines, "I was always alone, but now you're here. I don't want to lose you again.", with perfect expressions and actions that completely possess and entrance Shiro. Afterwards, Mizuki cheerfully asks how he did, while Shuuma sulks on the ground clearly annoyed. Shiro, who is still blushing like crazy, exclaims that it was absolutely amazing and he was just as amazing as she thought he'd be.

A girl with wavy hair comes to Mizuki's mind once again.

"You're amazing. That's so like you, Mizuki..."

Mizuki is stuck in a daze like before, but is snapped out of it when Shiro notices it and asks what's wrong. When he assures her he's fine, Shiro jumps right into doing the lines herself after watching Mizuki do it. However, when she tries saying the first line, she sounds like a "Death Clown". Shiro sulks to the ground moping in this failure^^.

But she's not down for long. She goes onto the next idea she had. Waaaaaay back when she was doing her first professional voice-over session, a voice actress told her to "become her character". So she's thinking about becoming the "prince". She asks what would be a good thing to do to get into character.

Shuuma gives her an idea. He tells her to buy a hungry citizen of his country some bread. And while she's at it, she can go to town and buy a double cheeseburger, some fries, and some iced tea. She accepts and he gives her the money. Mizuki smashes him in, saying princes aren't supposed to be worked as slaves^^. Well, onto the next one.




They work out a few more methods, but she doesn't get any of them right. Sge keeps thinking she's got to quickly make the prince voice somehow, in some way. She remembers what Yamada told her. She can't disappoint him...

After working non-stop, Shiro almost tumbles over, but Mizuki catches her on time to stop her. She apologizes and says she's just thinking about a lot of things. Mizuki asks if she's just become too dizzy to do anything straight, which she confirms has happened, she supposes. Mizuki takes his glasses off again and this time he places them on Shiro's face. This causes everything around her to twirl and she becomes dizzy.




Mizuki: "...Right now you really look like an acquaintance of mine. She was a girl who would get dizzy when she ran too quickly."

Shuuma twitches and reaches out his hand, trying to stop Mizuki, but Mizuki keeps talking.

Mizuki: "When that would happen, I would put my strong prescription glasses on her and she would start feeling better. Her surrounds would all become a blur, she would cover hear ears, and she'd say it was like it had become her own world."

Shiro thinks about it. Would she start to feel calmer with this? Mizuki assures her that she will be alright. He leans in and assures her that she'll be alright. Afterall, she's made the prince voice before. Shuuma stands by looking seriously concerned, knowing that what's happening is not good...

Shiro gives it a try. She closes her eyes and covers her ears and thinks about the times when she was successful.

Shiro thoughts: [That's right. There have been several times that I've made the prince voice. What kind of times were they? These was the time when Mitchi couldn't make it at the noon broadcast, the time when Tsukino was in trouble, and the time when I was working on Ume-chan video. Why did I make the prince voice those times?]

She's still not sure. She says, in a question-like manner, that she did it unconsciously? Poor girl^^. However, she does remember that all those times were kinda at the very last moment possible. She gives Mizuki back his glasses and says she'll go try it out, doing it at the last minute. She smiles and greatly thanks him for helping her. She runs off on her own.




The girl with wavy hair resurfaces once again.

"Mizuki...Thank you."

Shuuma begins asking Mizuki is he's alright.

Mizuki: "She's not Sana."

Shuuma: "You're already..."

Mizuki: "....That's right. That girl isn't Sana. So I'll be alright."

To Shiro. She's sitting at the edge of a cliff. Her idea was to say something at the last minute on a mountain ledge, but it was no use. She thought she'd be able to do it while thinking it was the last thing she had to do, but it's still not working. She begins to become rather discouraged. A look of dread spreads across her face. She's almost out of time. Mizuki and Shuuma have done their very best to help her and this is what happens?

"Don't disappoint me."

Shiro regains determination, but now she's looking more frustrated. She MUST NOT disappoint them.

Later that evening, Yamada asks if Shiro still hasn't returned. She has to come eat dinner soon, yet there's no sign of her. Furthermore, it's begun to rain.

Mizuki: "Did she...even have an umbrella?"

.....

Yamada barges through the door frantically. He grabs a towel and umbrella and runs out. God knows what they'll do if their seiyuu catches a cold! He tells the other 2 to search in the opposite direction he's going.

Yamada runs through the rain and finally finds Shiro sitting under a tree for protection. She's curled up and muttering to herself. He stands right above her and demands to know what the hell she's doing, but she doesn't answer. She's still muttering. He crouches down and touches her head, which causes her to flinch and swing back with a terrified look on her face.




She's surprised to see him there and asks why. Yamada thinks it's ridiculous why she's asking "why". He tells her that her time is up for the day. Shiro apparently lost track of what time of day it was. She didn't realize it was this dark out.

Even so, she asks Yamada for just a little more time. She doesn't know anything yet. She trembles as she tells him that she still knows nothing about how she's able to make her prince voice. She promises him that she'll give it all she has until she is able to do it. She forces an assuring smile as she tells him that she WILL work to her very limits so that she won't disappoint him.

Shiro thoughts: {There no one I want to disappoint any longer. No one.}

Yamada reaches his hand out, only to smack her on the head! Shiro is really confused^^. Yamada is indeed pissed off at how simpleminded she is. He turns away from her, telling her that he knows that nothing about this would come easy.




Yamada: "I've been preparing for this ever since I told you I'd make you top-notch. Do you think it'd be that easy for me to feel disappointed?"

He turns back to face her.

Yamada: "You're going to fulfill my dream, right? Our dreams aren't going to come that easily. So don't disappoint yourself over something like this."

Yamada then smiles at a clearly worn out Shiro, as if to say it's alright now. Shiro begins to cry a loud (for the first time we've seen) and clings to Yamada. He puts the towel over her and begins to rub her head.




Shiro thoughts: {Yeah. I don't want to anymore. I don't want to disappoint myself anymore.}

Mizuki and Shuuma come running when they come back. Mizuki is breathing hard fro his searching. He expresses such relief when he sees that she's alright. Shiro feels glad that he feels this way and thanks him for everything he did for her that day. Mizuki gently smiles and says it's all fine. But as he's saying this, he collapses and falls unconscious.

When they're inside the cabin, Yamada leaves quickly to go bring a doctor back, but in the meantime, Shiro and Shuuma will watch over Mizuki, who now has a high fever. Shiro is definitely feeling guilty over this. She apologizes to Shuuma, since she feels that this happened because he was searching for her. Shuuma doesn't object. In fact, he wholeheartedly agrees that it's all her fault.

Shuuma: "If you understand that, then get the hell out of our sight."

He gives her one dead.serious glare, which takes Shiro off guard for just a second. She talks back, giving him a serious look back, refusing to get out of their sights. She asks why she has to disappear. Shuuma just gives her an even deeper glare. They both give each other glares.

Shiro Narration: {So come what may. I will be here.}




Chapter 16 comes out March 5th.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Preview pics brought to you by Raw-Paradise. If possible, could someone tell me who exactly at Raw P. does the scanning? I want to directly credit them.

Volume 2 comes out April 19th. Senri will be on the cover. Can't wait to buy it~! He looks so serious, and he's looking up at an angle, which is something new for Minami Maki's manga cover art, isn't it? I'm betting the next one to be on a cover will be Tsukino.

So Sana was her name...She looks pretty. (That's my first impression.) So this is the girl that damaged Mizuki...and the person that Shuuma ended up ruining (maybe). I'm sure the next chapter will be about this Sana. At least, that's the feeling I get when I read the last commentary box.

Yamada is just...cool. He's so cool! Hime probably grew up around the "rule" that she must be perfect, and if she's not, she's a big disappointment. This is where her determination to give it her all is rooted, but Yamada reassures her that she must not wear herself out unless she wants to disappoint herself most of all. No way her mother would ever tell her this, no doubt. HimexHaruka senses....too tingly~~~~!

By the way, until just recently, I never knew what "ドS" meant! In case you're like, "Huh?", that is the word that appears in the background of Yamada whenever he cracks an evil smile. It appeared behind Kei Takishima, too. It turns out that it's a joke referring to the concept of S&M. Not in the sexual way. It's just that he likes to inflict pain on others (he's the "S - Sadistic" joint).

I don't think I ever made this comment before, but...Mizuki is dead sexy without his glasses! It's official. Not only is this manga a reverse-harem, but it's a moe fest. Also about Mizuki, I like his occational violence. He seems like the sweetest boy, but then he punches Shuuma's guts out, he pins him down without mercy, and he tries to burn him. They definitely have a comfortable relationship....(XD)

I get to add more to my afterthought today~! But now I don't know what to say! Oh yeah...S.A chapter 82-87 summaries will be deleted soon since volume 15 is being published March 2 by VIZ.

真的是声优吗, seiyuu ka!
