Hi friends,

Thank you very much for supporting applechips.
I regret to say that i cannot continue summarising GA chapters because work has become SO hectic for me.
I did not even have the time to read new GA chapters and check my mails not to mention doing summaries.

I seek your understanding on this decision.

Thank you m(_ _)m

Chapter 94...

Sun, 09 Mar 2008 01:43:02 GMT

Due to work, i would have to put summaries on weekends only in future :)

Chapter 94 is already released, the summary will probably be up by next weekend...

MY COMPUTER IS BACK!!!

serious hiatus.

Hi friends, i have bad news...

I am currently using the desktop to type this entry... what i wish to say is my laptop had died on me.
I cannot be online until my laptop is revived.. I am not sure when that will be (but i will be back here as soon as i can).. Until then, i am afraid that i cannot put up any summaries...i am seriously sorry...

However much i wish to say that i will put up the summary for the chapters that i may miss, i cannot promise what life would have become when i got my laptop back (i intend to get a new one since i don't believe in computer repairs). Nevertheless, i will continue with the summarising job once i am back online =)

Comments have been disabled since i will not be able to reply to them until i am back online :)

Gakuen Alice Manga Chapter 93

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 09:47:31 GMT

Yay~ I am on time ^0^/

Enjoy reading!!
Comments are appreciated :)

Continuing from Chapter 92...

Mikan fell into unconsciousness for 3 days after healing Narumi.
What she did had, however, been witnessed by Bear :D

Surprisingly, Sumire was worried for Mikan. She thought Mikan was suffering
from the side effects from the soul shuffling, she was told that Mikan was only sleeping.

Nevertheless, everyone's souls were returned to their bodies safely :D

On the other hand, Narumi wants Mikan to keep it as a secret from everyone about her new ALICE.
He wants her to promise as well, that no matter what happens, she is not to use her new ALICE for any reasons.
That little conversation was overheard by Natsume (tsk tsk~ eavesdropping is not a nice habit, Natsume-kun~).

Natsume let out a little cough and walked away quietly...

The screen pulled back to Mikan walking alone in the rain thinking why did Narumi flare up the other time when she tried to save him..

As she was caught in her thoughts, she stepped onto something.....BEAR!!!!!! (poor thing >0<~ he was all soaked in the rain and now he had gotten a footprint on his back)

"So... why was i called upon purposefully..?" said Tsubasa (TSUBASA!!!!!!! YOU'VE FINALLY APPEARED!!!!!)
"Because... we don't wanna get beaten by Bear after he is all dried up," cried Mikan while Tsubasa dried Bear with the hair blower.

Bear was finally all dry and clean but he looked depressed.
It seems that he wanted to go somewhere but Tsubasa managed to get hold of him.

"Mikan, where was Bear fainted at?" asked Tsubasa.
"Hmm.. in front of the hospital.."replied Mikan.
"Hospital?"said Tsubasa.
"I have no idea why he was there though...Tsubasa-senpai?" said Mikan.

It was then that Mikan learnt that Kaname's condition had worsened. Apparently,
Kaname's condition had not been good since winter and he had caught a cold during the rainy season.
Even though Kaname had lived through the worst situation, his condition is still not improving. The doctors have it that it would be diffifult for Kaname to live through winter this year.

Through that, Tsubasa gathered that Bear could not bear (this is not a pun, lol) seeing Kaname going through all the pain and sufferings without doing anything.

"Bear,"began Tsubasa. "You're just making Kaname worried by just standing there. Let's go, Bear,"

But Bear just stood there in the rain (with a rain coat xD OMG! For the first time, BEAR LOOKED CUTE!)

"No matter how many times i brought him back, he would definitely make his way back here..."

"What is it, Kokoroyomi-kun?"

" 'Bear is making himself weak by standing here in the rain', he said. "said Kokoroyomi-kun.

"Eh?"

" 'If i make myself weak and not being to move anymore, perhaps, this spirit would return to Kaname-senpai. When that happens, Kaname-senpai may become slightly healthy' he said." continued Kokoroyomi-kun," 'Also for the same reason that i cannot leave,' he said."

Mikan was touched by Bear.

But Tsubasa took Bear away and said, "who asked you to do something like that? this is not a way to treat Kaname, who is now in that hospital ward living his life to the fullest!"

In the meantime, the reason behind Narumi's healed arm was discussed. Looks like the Principal had wanted to use Narumi's arm as an experiment to find out more about Mikan's Steal ALICE, but because he was told that Narumi's arm was healed by his own healing abilities and ALICE treatment, he had no other choices but use other means to prove Mikan's new ALICE.

The next day...

Bear was seen everywhere Mikan goes. Be it on the way to school, during class and lunch time, Bear was ALWAYS with Mikan!

"I am.. I am.. I AM BEING STALKED BY BEAR!!!!!!!!" yelled Mikan, horrified. (LOLLLLL~ you have a veeeeeeeeeery cute stalker!!!)

To this, Hotaru, Iinchou and Pig called Kokoroyomi to find out what happened.

"Mikan-chan, is it true that you have the Steal ALICE?"

"Eh?"said Mikan.

"According to Bear, he said that Mikan-chan, you have the Steal ALICE and he wishes you to steal the ALICE away within him and return it to Kaname-senpai so that he may feel better. He said that he had overheard the conversation between you and Narumi-sensei about the Steal ALICE by accident," said Kokoroyomi-kun.

Many students began to discuss about that matter in disbelief while Hotaru and Iinchou looked concerned and Natsume being surprised to hear that. Mikan was worried because Narumi had told her to keep it as a secret.

Mikan pulled Bear by the hand and dashed out of the classroom.

"BEAR YOU STUPID STUPID IDIOT!!!!" cried Mikan as she shook Bear continuously.

But Bear offered her a can of drink and a box of what-seems-like sweets xD

"Bear!? That's not right! I am not stealing ALICE! Why do you not understand?! Even if you do that, Kaname-senpai will not be happy! Why are you always thinking about ways to make Kaname-senpai sad!!!!????" cried Mikan, "Instead of that, why not think of something that will make Kaname-senpai happier? If you're that persistant... i am telling Kaname-senpai,"

And Bear chased Mikan for saying that~

So, Bear was still following Mikan when the 2 of them were stopped by 2 other male students. Apparently, they were looking for the student with the Steal ALICE and they were told that if anyone is able to capture that student with the prove that he or she has the Steal ALICE, their Star Rankings will be leveled up. The boys began pestering Mikan to have her steal their ALICE.

But BEAR KICKED INTO THE RESCUE \^0^/ (Super Bear~ Super Bear~)

At the same time, Iinchou got hold of information of Mikan's situation at the Middle school department that he went back to class and told the rest about it so that they could go and help Mikan.

Later, it was found that it had been the Principal giving out such orders and that even if Mikan were to steal ALICE from the other student, there will not be any Star rewards.

As all of these were going on, Mikan and Bear were busy keeping themselves away from people.
When the both of them were finally by themselves, Mikan said, "Bear, thank.. thank you for saving me... but, this is this, that is that,"

And Bear stood up attempting to leave.

Just then, Mikan saw 2 girls talking and thought she could turn to them for help. But the girls had no intention of helping Mikan. Instead they wanted to tell Takeda (some guy i think.. i am not sure who though..) about Mikan being here.

At the same time, Mikan was discovered by one of the guys. He had caught hold of her but Bear went to stop him.
Amongst the struggles, Bear's skin was torn apart, revealing all the cotton inside...

Bear was however, prettily stiched back but he showed no signs of consciousness. Mikan began to worry and think that Bear's spirit had left him through the fight earlier. Bear was then brought to see Kaname...

"Tsubasa, Mikan-chan..." said Kaname. "I see... Bear was trying to help Mikan-chan..."

"I am sorry Kaname," said Mikan in tears.

"Thank you, Mikan-chan. For crying for Bear's sake," said Kaname. "It's alright, Mikan-chan. Bear is still alive,"

"Eh?"

"Bear, stop faking sleep. You were treated so sincerely afterall," said Kaname as he poked Bear gently by the side." You should be fully healed already, right?"

After hearing Kaname's words, Bear sat up. (that shocked Mikan severely xDDD But Bear was too cute to feign death xDDDD)

"You were too embarrassed right, Bear?" said Kaname. "It was the first time that you were touched by someone else besides me so you didn't know how to react, right? The treatment must had been of much love, or else, it had not been possible for you to move a bit after suffering from such a huge injury. I have heard it from Tsubasa that you had tried returning the spirit i had put into you for my sake.

Although you looked like a plush doll that i had inserted my soul into it that you came alive, it was not the case at all, Bear. It was not my life that i had inserted into but the hopes i have in me. I want all of you to be able to jump and play on my behalf so that even though i am lying on the bed, i am playing at the same time with all of you. As long as all of you are smiling, i will be happy too. Also, to be able to be loved by all of you, i am feeling very blessed.

To me, that is my joy. Do you understand?"

In Kaname's heart, he thought his plush were the light that is shining for him forever...

"Mikan-chan, thank you very much," continued Kaname. "Bear, i am glad that i made you. Through you, i was able to feel the kindness in Mikan-chan and the others. I will definitely be well again. Thank you, Bear..."

On their way back, Tsubasa told Mikan that Kaname would be alright. He would live through this winter, and the next winter and the next and the next..

In Mikan's heart, she felt that she had made a new friend on this day - a quiet, shy, the smallest yet the strongest friend.

End of Chapter 93.

Next chapter will be released on 5 March 2008, HanaYume Vol 7.

PS: It's gonna be about Hotaru and Subaru~~!

Gakuen Alice Manga Chapter 91

Sun, 10 Feb 2008 08:00:30 GMT

Thank you guys so much for your concerns in my previous post *huggles*

I will do my best to produce it on time (20 Feb) ♥

Enjoy reading!

Comments are appreciated :)

Continuing from Chapter 90, let us first refresh our memory with the story progression.
The souls of Mikan and friends had been exchanged and that this is how the current situation stands:

Soul // Body

Hotaru => Mikan
Sumire => Iinchou
Natsume => Ruka
Iinchou => Natsume
Ruka => Hotaru
Kokoroyomi => Sumire

Some explanations in the typing due to the soul exchanging: Natsume << physical appearnce [Mikan] << soul within the body :D

OK! This chapter opens up with Luna's last conversation with Mikan [Hotaru] saying that she would lose someone precious in the near future through the gain of her new ALICE.

Shortly after Luna left, Bear [Mikan] saw Hotaru. She was running and shouting Hotaru's name. Little did she expect that Mikan [Hotaru] would hit her with her inventions.

"WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY~~~~" cried Bear [Mikan] as she flew.
"Nothing...somehow..." said Mikan [Hotaru] before she went into a deep thought.

"Don't 'nothing-somehow'! I was punched away!!!!!!" cried Bear [Mikan] after she returned.

But when she saw Mikan [Hotaru]'s troubled face, she asked, "Hotaru, did anything happen?"

"Eh?" said Mikan [Hotaru] as Bear [Mikan] climbed her way up her body. (KAWAIIIIIIII~!!!!!)

"You looked weird," began Bear [Mikan] as she climbed up Mikan [Hotaru]'s body. "What happened Hotaru?" she continued as she touched Mikan [Hotaru]'s face. "Hotaru?" (KAWAIIIIIIIIIII EXPRESSION!!!!!)

Mikan [Hotaru] looked down at Bear [Mikan] and recalled what Luna had said to her earlier.

"Of course," said Luna. "There's a way to prevent it (from losing that precious someone). That is, you, Sakura-san, to sacrifice yourself by giving the rest of your time to the Principal."

"Ho~Ta~Ru~?" Bear [Mikan] continued.

"Don't kid with me," said Mikan [Hotaru].

Bear [Mikan] was confused but Mikan [Hotaru] added that she was fine.

In Hotaru's heart she was thinking about how Luna had hurt her with her words yet Mikan was able to remain strong and cheerful.. and how she had endured everything all by herself...

"Mikan.. i heard that it is tough to maintain a friendship if there is no care and concern between each other," said Mikan [Hotaru] suddenly.

Bear [Mikan] was shocked to hear that. She thought Hotaru was going to break away the tie between them, until she continued,

"I was lying. That was because, our bond is forever,no matter what happens..."

In Hotaru's heart, she was thinking about how long their relationship would be since the day Mikan came chasing after her.

"No matter how far apart we are," continued Mikan [Hotaru]

"Hotaru?" said Bear [Mikan].

Just then, something weird happened.

"Hotaru-chan, Mikan-chan!" shouted Sumire from afar.

"WHAT?! Shuffle again??!!!" said someone.

It appears that the souls in everyone's body had been shuffled once more and that Iinchou happened to be inside Sumire's body this time around while Mikan's soul was back to her own body, Kokoroyomi's soul back into his body and Hotaru's soul into Bear's (that's so cute!!!!!)

Sumire [Iinchou] then further explains that it seems that souls in each body would leave if that particular body is hurt or attacked suddenly (that was how Mikan and Hotaru's souls exchanged xD). And that, so as to let the body calm down, it would be best if Kokoroyomi and Mikan to stop searching for Bear to prevent getting hurt.

However so, Kokoroyomi says that he would want to be with Sumire [Iinchou] (That poor boy was shocked xD)
Mikan was 'heartbroken' (perhaps she thought she would have a partner to be with her xD) that she ran away. But was stopped by Sumire [Iinchou] saying that she had something to tell her about Natsume...

The scene pulls over to Natsume...

It seems to be that Ruka [Natsume] and Hotaru [Ruka] had gone through some souls exchange xD

Hotaru [Ruka] bumped into Ruka [Natsume] = Ruka being Ruka; Natsume in Hotaru

Ruka thought Natsume had gone back to his original body so he left to look for Natsume (but Natsume was in Hotaru's body xDDD in a skirt!!!!)

Hotaru [Natsume] finaly met his soul! It was in Bear... =.="

And, a historical battle broke out!

Of course! Natsume won \^0^/ (poor Hotaru-chan.. she had Bear in her body >0<~)

Natsume was alone by himself in deep thoughts...

A flashback...

"Wait up Natsume!" shouted Natsume [Iinchou], "Wait up,"

Ruka [Natsume] stopped and looked back to see Natsume [Iinchou] panting.

"I am sorry to ask abot this.. but.. it could be my imagination.. but.. since just now, this body had been in this condition... Natsume, since when..?"

Ruka [Natsume] stared at him (KYAAAAAAA~ XD)

"Don't tell me you have been going on with this condition?" (<< i added some of the words to form a sentence that makes sense. The direct translation is like this,
"could it be always in this condition..?" f^.^)

"Wait up, Natsume!" continued Natsume [Iinchou]

The scene pulls back to Mikan and friends with Sumire [Iinchou] talking.

"At first i thought it was because the soul could not adapt to the new body... but in this Shoda's body.. i don't feel tough at all just by standing..."

Natsume, Mikan thought in her heart.

"I know that Natsume had been going to the hospital often, so i thought perhaps he is suffering from some illness..
but looking at his state recently.. i am quite worried.." continued Sumire [Iinchou].

In Mikan's heart, she was thinking about Natsume. As though he was trying to isolate himself from the rest...

"This thing..." continued Sumire [Iinchou].

"She's already gone," said Kokoroyomi. (LOLLLLLL XDDDDDD)

Mikan had run off to look for Natsume.

She finally found him sitting all by himself on the bench.

"Natsume...?" she called out.

Natsume looked at her and pretended that he was not him because it would be troublesome, he thought, after what had happened between Iinchou and him.

However, Mikan did not just walk away. She went and looked Natsume into his face and said,

"If you're not Natsume....could you be BEAR?!" said Mikan. "That eyes! You must be BEAR!"

Natsume was shocked to hear that! But he was even more shocked to have his hand handcuffed with Mikan's (apparently, she had prepared a pair of handcuffs just to catch bear.. Mikan-chan... T^T).

Mikan was overjoyed to have found Bear by herself!
Just as she was about to tell everyone about it, Natsume gave her a super scary glare that there was nothing Mikan could do.

At the same time....

Ruka spotted Bear [Hotaru]...

"Eh? Sakura, what happened? Did you get lost?" (Ruka-kun kyawaiiiiiiii xDDDD but erm, that shy expression of Ruka was snapped by Hotaru's hidden camera)

Back to our Mikan and Natsume~

Mikan was punched by Natsume on her head xD

"Say Bear.... let's go back to where everyone is...." cried Mikan (although she had caught Bear, it seemed like she was the one being caught). "I apologise for handcuffing you...>0<~"

Mikan then looked at Natsume with Natsume returning her look, and said,

"Bear... you are really like Natsume,"

"Come to think of it, the 2 of you are ex~~~~~~actly the same! Having the same mean look, quiet, bad feeling, violent and frustating!"

Natsume clenched his fist upon hearing that.

"Seriously.. the part that i have no idea what the 2 of you are thinking about is the same..." added Mikan with a lonely look on her face.

"I can't help thinking that he likes me recently....seriously... what's with him! it's so complicating that i don't understand...i thought i was hated but i don't know what feelings to believe in anymore...my head is spinning... but even if i tell Bear, it's not gonna help anyway..."

Nevertheless, in Mikan's heart she felt relieved that she let that out.

"Natsume... where are you now....? where did you go...? that guy..."

Natsume showed a lonely expression and pressed his palm over Mikan's.
Mikan seemed to have understood something... or felt comforted...

This silence was broken by some students shouting Imai Hotaru had entered the Middle department school and that in her body seemed to be Bear's soul!

Both Mikan and Natsume were surprised!!

But then, Natsume had managed to uncuffed himself.

"Natsume," said Mikan. "You wouldn't tell me anything about you..."

In Mikan's heart, she thought about Natsume's ALICE type - taking away life.

"That was why i thought that way. But, you wouldn't go somewhere alone and leave me behind right..?" continued Mikan.

"Si~~~~~~lly! (he said BA~~~~~~~~~KA! xD)" began Natsume (HE FINALLY TALKED!), "I am not leaving,"

Mikan smiled behind him.

At this time, Narumi appeared...

"Narumi-sensei?!" said Mikan.

SInce the new chapter is already out, i thought i'll put this up first ♥
Thanks to people that had comforted me earlier :)
Chapter 89 will be up tomorrow!

Sorry that i made you worry!! Your feed of summary is here!!

Comments are appreciated :)

Continuing from Chapter 89, when Mikan, Ruka and Hotaru met Goshima-senpai at Central Town.

"Stealing ALICE? That's a rare ALICE you guys are discussing about," said Goshima. "Has that anything to do with you, Sakura?"

"No, nothing,"

"Is that so? Oh.."

"Stealing ALICE..."

And Goshima left~ (i wonder what's with him..haha~)

"Stealing ALICE..."

Azumi Yuka appeared vaguely at the background...

"Sakura, you actually knew what the Physical Class Representive looks like..." said Ruka.

"Eh..? Ah.." replied Mikan. "WHERE..WHERE..WHERE IS THIS PLACE????!!! SINCE WHEN DID THE SCENE CHANGED INTO A CLASSROOM???!!!! WHAT?! ANOTHER DAY HAD PASSED ALREADY??!!!"

"That girl looks like she could be flushed away to anywhere this moment," said Hotaru. " Whatever it is, I bet her head is filled with that woman with the same ALICE that she has recently discovered right now,"

Mikan was surprised to hear that.
Hotaru took a glance at her.

Mikan was thinking about what that woman did in the past to Iinchou with his ALICE. How angry she got at that woman and how she could not forgive her. She started to wonder how she was related to that woman.

"I know that the Stealing ALICE had not brought any good impressions, but to brood over it," continued Hotaru. "WHAT AN IDIOT,"

"Hota.." began Mikan but Hotaru continued.

"Just because you had the same ALICE with that bad woman, you're thinking that the ALICE is bad.. seriously.. what a kid you are!" said Hotaru. "Ah ah~ what a kid~ that's it!"

And Hotaru left.

However, Ruka knew the truth. He knows that Azumi Yuka was Mikan's mother.

Ruka was wondering if it was really good to keep that matter from the teachers, Hotaru thought it could never be better since it would help worsened the bad impressions of Mikan.

Meanwhile, some Terohan (the term they used there~) were running about at the corridor. They were playing mischief and disturbing people around. Permy was very unpleased with them because she thought the number of idiots had multiplied (hahahha xD)

Apparently, Natsume was the key person to stop them from roaming about the school but recently since he had isolated himself from the rest, Terohans were let loose. It seems that the other people in the academy were not able to catch them hence they have gotten out of control~

Mikan began to wonder what happened to Natsume... She realised that she had not been so closely watched as before she wondered if it was because Natsume was not with her.

Sumire could not tolerate any longer she pulled Mikan along with the intention of catching Terohans!!! (GO!GO!)

However, little did they know that the Terohans had added some substances into a bottle of aroma fragrant so that they could play a trick on them... UNTIL, somebody went to open the window and air blew into the building causing the aroma to spread. Mr Bear happened to pass by, he took away something from there that caused the Terohans to panic.

Everyone that breathed in became unconscious.

"Mikan-chan, are you alright??!!!" said Narumi-sensei.

Mikan opened her eyes slowly..

"That's good.. I haven't come to school for a long while.. when i returned i heard that there was a gas incident.. don't worry, i shall get some doctors to tend to you right now..."

*PAK!*

"Don't touch me all over with your dirty hands," said Mikan. "Your face is too close. Can you go away?"

Narumi's eyes widened with shock with he heard that.

"Sakura.." said Misaki-sensei.
"Mikan-chan.." said Nonoko who was nearby.

"WHAT IS THIS? WHAT IS THIS? I DON'T BELIEVE IT! WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON?!" shouted someone. "Why am i dressed like this?? Or rather, why is my body lying in front of me??!!!"

When everyone turned and looked, they were shocked to see Iinchou pointing at Sumire who was still unconscious.

Misaki-sensei began to worry about the kids. Just when he was asking Narumi about what the heck was going on around, someone took something and threw at Iinchou.

"Gyah Gyah Gyah Gyah... that's so noisy," said Ruka. "It's bad for health when people of the same kind are together..." (KYAAAA! RUKA WAS SO COOL!!)

Meanwhile, the relief teacher found that bottle of aroma fragrant at the corridor. Narumi went speechless when he saw that.

"So you're Natsume-kun~~~~??" said Iinchou running towards Ruka with tears in his eyes and all blushing, "that attitude, that look.. even though your appearance is Ruka-kun, i know it's YOU!"

"Come closer to me some more, i'll burn you," said Ruka [Natsume] coldly (TOTALLY COOL! TOO COOL! KYAAAAA! ≧▽≦/)) ≧▽≦/)) ≧▽≦/)) )

"Ruka-kun is talking so coldly!! It's a NEW WORLD!!!" continued Iinchou [Sumire] (PEOPLE! IT'S YAOI!!!!!! xDDDD)

"Stop it, Shoda-san!" said a voice behind. "Using my body..."

Iinchou [Sumire] & Ruka [Natsume] turned only to see Natsume sitting on the floor TEARING! (OMG! IINCHOU! HOW COULD YOU MAKE NATSUME CRY??!!!!!)

Hotaru was standing beside Natsume [Iinchou] was confused that she said, "Na..Natsume..?"

There was lightning at the background of where Ruka [Natsume], Mikan [Hotaru] and Iinchou [Sumire] were. (hahahahaahah~!)

Just when they thought things could not get worse, Sumire regained her consciousness.

"Ahahaha~ Everyone~ What are you doing? Natsume-kun, you look disgusting~Ahahaha~ Ahahaha~"

After a while, the teachers got everything sorted out.
Narumi explained that everyone's souls got exchanged the minute they inhaled that bottle of aroma that the Terohans had set up. And that the souls exchange were like this:

Hotaru => Mikan
Sumire => Iinchou
Natsume => Ruka (he glared at somebody that went "Kya~♥" lol~)
Iinchou => Natsume (and he was crying... =.= some students are the back were saying that they do not wish to see that kind of Natsume..ME TOO!)
Ruka => Hotaru (she was perspiring like anything with a bunny xD)
Kokoroyomi => Sumire (and she was drawing her face with a marker... hahahaha~)

Finally..

Mikan.....

all eyes were on the little bear behind.

"WHY???!!! WHY AM I BEAR???!!!!" cried Mikan (She's SO CUTE!!!!)

"Ah! you can talk!" said Narumi. "Ah~ I guessed it was because i have asked for a Bear Mail at the Central Town to help me deliver something that was why it happened~"

Just as Mikan was crying and making a lot of noise, somebody punched her away!!

"So, Mr Bear went into Kokoroyomi-kun~" said Narumi.

It was scary that he punched with no expression...

Back to Mikan..

She was sobbing in Bear's body and she looked SO SO cute!!!

"Mikan-chan... don't cry anymore.." said Nonoko.

At the same time, some boys were whispering amongst themselves at what they saw.

"Bear is crying! That's kinda cute~"

"Also, Hotaru [Ruka] and Natsume [Iinchou] are comforting it~~"

"Oi," said Ruka [Natsume] sternly (i guess he was embarrassed xDDD afterall he would never do such a thing xD KAWAII~!) "Just how long until are you intending to let me remain in this stupid position?!"

"Ummm.. about that.. those culprits were caught though..."said Narumi, perspiring (hahah~)

BUT! They said that they have lost the antidote to the medicine!!!
Ruka [Natsume] was about to burn them until they quickly added that the effects would wear off by themselves and that it would be dangerous for them to run about because their souls can leave the body easily at that moment.

So, Narumi went ahead telling everyone in the room not to leave the room until further instructions.

"Teacher.."

"What is it, Hotaru-Mikan-chan?"

"I need to look for something outside,"

"So i said, we can't leave this room," said Narumi.

"Kokoroyomi Bear is not around,"

A shadow casted upon everyone in the room immediately.

"BEAR~!!!!!!" shouted Bear [Mikan] as she ran and looked for it in tears.

"Just now.. Bear was looking for himself.. right?" said a student that happened to witness that.
"Or rather, it was crying..." said another.
"Or rather, it was talking!" continued another.

Looks like many students that had tried to catch Kokoroyomi Bear were all beaten by him! Narumi thought that Bear could be enjoying himself in his human form that he did not wish to resume~ Poor Bear [Mikan] was still shouting for Bear...

In the end, Narumi suggested that they should split up and meet at a place after some time of searching.

"That Mikan.. i think she got confused..." said Mikan [Hotaru] as she ran together with Hotaru [Ruka] looking for Kokoroyomi Bear. "The person that should be nevous and feeling worried is Kokoroyomi, right?"

"Maybe..." said Hotaru [Ruka].

But Kokoroyomi, who was within Sumire's body, was dancing behind them with a sign saying "I am an idiot and mischevious~~~". That made Sumire, who was within Iinchou's body, angry xD

Then, Mikan [Hotaru] was alone looking for Kokoroyomi Bear.
There, she bumped into Koizumi Luna.

"It's been a long time since the 2 of us were together. I guess it was since the Sports Festival?" said Luna.

She didn't realised anything, thought Mikan [Hotaru] (she seems to be happy xD)

"I was so beaten by you at the Sports Festival," continued Luna. "Who would have expected that besides the Nulifying ALICE, you even brought out the Stealing ALCE..."

Mikan [Hotaru] just looked at her.

"I see you did not deny," said Luna. "You did not even look shocked even i said the right thing. I guessed you have already known anyway. Let me give you a piece of advice. By getting that ALICE does not mean anything good though, you will lose someone you treasure the most soon in the near future..for example," (NO NO NO! THAT CANNOT HAPPEN!!!!! >0<~)

Mikan [Hotaru] was shocked to hear that as Luna walked away with a smirk on her face saying, "Since everything seemed to have fallen back to normal finally, enjoy while you still can..."

Hi everyone,

I have just completed my internship programme recently and i did not do well for it. I have no motivation to do up a good summary at this point of time.. Please give me more time to do this.. I'll try to put up chapter 89 by next weekend :)

Gakuen Alice Manga Chapter 88

Sat, 03 Nov 2007 15:11:56 GMT

Comments are appreciated :)

Yuka was puzzled to know that Koizumi Luna,
one of the assassins in the secret section of the Academy to be near Mikan.

Shidou suggested that since they had no idea why and for what reason Luna was called for,
he concluded that Mikan had been targeted. Judging from the possibilities of a Soul Sucking ALICE user, Luna's aim could be to first, suck out souls of people around Mikan and control them, or second, to suck out
soul at one go so that the victim would die.

At that point, Yuka feared the thought that Luna is near Mikan.

Shidou then continued saying that before they can know whichever aim Luna and
gang were planning, they could not make any concrete judgement.

However, if they were to think that if Mikan was treated like an eyesore, and making use of
a Soul Sucking ALICE user, Luna, just to attack one elementary student, then it could only be one possibility.
That is to lure Yuka back to the Academy.

Apparently, Yuka had did something to the Principal for the sake of 'reset' (i wonder what that 'reset' meant...)

If that possibility is true, their aim would be to test everyone of the Z organisation out of their wrath towards them.
From this point onwards, how much would the academy allow Mikan's actions to escalate...

The scene pulls off to the Kibasen.

**I shall skip the details on that**
But generally, all the teams are doing great with the Red team in the lead until HYPER Kokoroyomi-kun read out the inner thoughts and various strategies of everyone's hearts.

That brought a gradual comeback for the White team.

Mikan almost fell off Tsubasa's back but Tsubasa's ALICE saved her from touching the ground.

Meanwhile, Luna found a new target to use her ALICE on.

While Mikan were Tsubasa were bickering about what to do and stuffs, they found themselves surrounded by the enemies when one of the Red team members pounced onto Mikan suddenly.

Almost all the students that witnessed that were shocked because that boy just attacked someone from his own team. But that made Mikan realised that something was wrong with that boy.

She realised that that boy was always involved in accidents related to her. That boy was present during the ruckus caused earlier during the practice, he is also the same boy that brought Mikan up in the air with his Psychic ALICE and lost control.

Tsubasa shouted, "You're in my team yet what are you doing? Stop it! Oi!"

Mikan and that boy were struggling that Mikan almost fell. She opened her eyes only to find that everything had returned to normal.

That boy that attacked her looked lost and wondered what had he been doing all this time.

Tsubasa asked if Mikan had used her ALICE. She checked her sticker and was surprised to see that the light on one level of her star sticker was gone. She opened her left arm and could not believed that she saw tiny ALICE stones in it. She could not understand how those stones got into her hand and why was the light on her sticker gone. But she suspected that the reason why everyone had returned to normal could be due to the ALICE stones in her hand.

The Principal that was seated in one of the shaded areas saw all that had happened was surprised that everyone that were controlled had regained their senses.

"Sa...Sakura.." said that boy that attacked her, "We... did something cruel to you...what should we do..."

Seeing the worried expressions on that boy's face, Mikan clinched the hand with the ALICE stones in it and replied,

"You... your spectacles... aren't the degrees correct? You saw me as the enemy!! That's right!! I bet someone had played a trick on you by switching your spectacles!!"

"Sakura.."

"That's it! That's it! Seriously! I was shocked!" continued Mikan, "But i am all right now! No worries! Let's go! Let's join our forces and beat the enemy!! The one same enemy!"

In Mikan's heart, she knew and was certained that whatever that had happened, those kids were innocent. The real culprit was, Mikan turned and looked at, Luna.

Just then, Hotaru grabbed Mikan and threw her. Tsubasa and You-chan hurried to catch her before she falls.

"Beating the enemy, right?" said Hotaru. "Give it all."

Hotaru, Mikan thought.

And Mikan threw herself at Luna with all her might. While she was hitting Luna, words that Luna said to her before rung in her head but Mikan could care no more after knowing how much sufferings that ~~bitch~~ (oops) girl in front of her had caused. She could no longer forgive Luna.

However, Luna is no weakling. She was all angry that she pulled Mikan down and blew (or suck) something into (or out of) Mikan's neck.

"Sakura! Look out!" shouted someone. (i believed that was Ruka xD)

Mikan then fell into unconsciousness.
She fell off Tsubasa's back altogether.

Tsubasa concluded that because Mikan had overused her ALICE thus she fainted.
On the other side, Luna had too, fainted.

For the reason that Luna had fainted, the game was concluded.
The winner goes to the Red Team.

End of Chapter 88

Next chapter will be released on 20 Nov 2007, Hana Yume Vol 24.

Gakuen Alice Manga Chapter 87

Sun, 14 Oct 2007 15:41:45 GMT

Very sorry for the long wait!!!
I did a very general summary this time around.. if there are any questions feel free to raise them!!

Another apology for not having scans as well.
Okies! That's all i guess~ ^0^/

The chapter continues with Mikan pondering about Natsume's actions (he hugged her~~).
She was not sure of anymore which is the real him. She felt that he was like her - he had to hide his real self because of the reason behind it.

Later on Mikan returned to her group of friends. It appears that everyone had been searching and worrying for her including Ruka~~

Nonoko went to inform him that she had already returned. They were relieved that Mikan looked more cheerful than before.

Even Sumire was worried for her. Tsubasa realised that Ruka and Sumire were looking at them, he pointed them to Mikan. Mikan returned a smile and thanked them =)

That made Ruka wondered what had happened to her earlier...

Meanwhile, it seems that Iinchou had heard about Natsume telling his group to ignore Mikan. When he asked Mikan about it Mikan only replied,

"What happened i am not sure but it just turned out like that... guess it can't be helped..?"

"Mikan-chan, what do you mean by can't be helped???" said Iinchou, "Why is Natsume..."

"It's ok,"replied Mikan, "I had enough of Natsume..."

In her heart she was thinking about the hug that Natsume gave her earlier.
His hands were warm and were holding onto Mikan regretfully. Somehow she understood that he did what he did against his will and that deep within there will be a reason behind it.

Mikan then conitnued saying that she cannot be depressed all the time. On the contrary, she felt happy that she has many friends concerned about her.

Moving on with the competition, Mikan told Tsubasa that she had a good idea to win. However, after hearing her idea, Tsubasa felt insecure about it...

And the competition had begun!

The rules are simple, each participant had to grab hold of the other party's star and the group will be awarded 10 points (1 star= 10points) however, if the leader's star was taken away, the team will be awarded with 50 points.

Natsume took part in this competition and he was the leader of his team.
Hotaru, too, happened to be a leader of her team.

Apparently she had invented a special machine for that competition. Her fans were deeply impressed but
her team mates seemed to feel embarrassed to be riding in it.

She caught sight of her brother with his body language saying "it's so embarrassing... i cannot bear to look any longer...stupid...pretend that i don't know her..."

Hotaru realised that, she shouted towards Subaru's direction from where she was,

"Oniisa~~n! (*older brother [i bet all of us know that term xDD]), IMAI SUBARU ONIISA~N! My real elder brother~~~! The representative of Potential Class!! That one wearing spectacles!!!!!"

That caused many people turned to look at Subaru (poor guy xD)

"She..seemed to know what you hate very much..." said Sakurano.

At the other side, Mikan, Tsubasa and friend who saw that felt that Hotaru was scary...(haha~)

Meanwhile, the leader of Red Team was revealed!! It was Kokoroyomi ^0^/

Mikan was shocked to know that. The leader of other teams include Nobara! (boy! don't we all miss her??)
Nobara missed Mikan a lot a lot.. But she felt that she was not worthy of Mikan's attention.

Nobara had some things to tell Mikan regarding "that woman" (Mikan's mother). Mikan somehow sensed that she had something to tell her...

One of the boys carrying Nobara spotted Tsubasa! He was that same guy that got excited when Tsubasa appeared in the Princess Party. Tsubasa was 'afraid' to see him thus he brought Mikan running away together~

It was then they learnt that Luna was also a leader! Many were surprised because she has yet to reveal her ALICE.

And the participants got into positions and started running!

Mikan's strategy was to make use of the bad rumours about her to attract people coming at her. When all of them came charging at her, Tsubasa would use his ALICE to stop their shadow. Her idea had not only earned their team several points but also she gained more friends through it. Some team members went over to help Tsubasa and Mikan to block away their enemies.

Thanks to it, the Red Team seemed to be in the lead~

The scene changes to Yuka (Mikan's mother~~). She was informed by Shiki that there has been a little girl following around Mikan lately.

He showed Yuka Luna's photo and another photo of a woman. They were the same person.

Yuka was surprised to see her because that woman is her classmate with the Soul Sucking ALICE!!

Chapter 87 summary will be up this weekends =)
I am sorry if you guys have to wait even longer...

No matter how busy i have become.. how lazy i am.. i will continue to do this until GA ends :)

Gakuen Alice Manga Chapter 86

Sat, 22 Sep 2007 11:40:04 GMT

NO SCANS this time around =D
(i will, however, put up any sources of scans should i find any later =D)

Enjoy~!

Continuing from Chapter 85, Persona was at where Mikan was, claiming to be in-charge for the student that had caused the accident. He was told to punish the student that had caused the accident. He was there to take Mikan away.

"I heard that this girl is responsible for the accident,"

Mikan was confused and shocked to know that she had been suspected.

"Wait a minute," said someone.

The scene changes to a conversation between Natsume and Luna.

"Oi," said Natsume. "You.." (he used "teme", a very crude and rude term for saying "you")

"What is it Natsume? Making such a scary face... Did i do anything?"

"Don't pretend," said Natsume.

"It can't be helped, can it?" said Luna. "I have already adviced Sakura Mikan to 'not attract attention'. But, still, she did not listen to me and fell into the trap. Result? She had attracted so much attention was because of you guys, aren't i right?"

"What did you say..." said Natsume.

"Don't tell me you have forgotten the words of what the Principal had said,"

[Natsume, since you've said to that extent, i will reconsider Sakura Mikan's punishment]
[I will look at her "behaviour"]

" 'look at her behaviour' meaning Sakura Mikan will be kept in this school for observation. And i will be that 'observer'. Since that incident, she should have been brought to Persona immediately. We were kind enough to let her stay and live in this academy, teaching her,"

"What.." said Natume.

"Just because she's the daughter of the two, for the sake of appealing, i had no choice but to take up this detestful job as given. I thought it was about time to make known that i am not always as friendly as ever through this accident," said Luna. "You people are standing on a very thin layer of ice, like an idiot, not knowing your positions. Should there be any mistakes, that thin layer of ice will break sending all of you down to the cold and dark waters below. I believe you are already slowly realising where i am coming from...?

Before you try to do anything for that girl, make sure you think again before acting. If not then, be careful of not breaking the ice below your feet." said Luna.

Natsume clenched his fist hard and thought, Mikan...Mikan!

Back to where Mikan and the rest were, Persona was accusing Mikan of being the real culprit behind the accident caused. He grabbed Mikan's shirt and said that her 3 Counter sticker was not used during the Sports Festival at all but it was 1 point lesser during the Cheering item. There was no need for Nullification during the play hence the only reason for it to lose 1 point was because of the accident.

After hearing that Mikan was angry at what Persona had said.

"It wasn't me!" said Mikan. "Why would i do such a thing? Don't say things as and when you wish!"

This person, Mikan thought, could it be that Flower Princess Party incident that he is saying all this out of his hatred towards me..

"The reason when my ALICE was used could be..." said Mikan.

"Mikan," said Tsubasa.

"..Could be because something had happened and out of panic it was used unconsciously!" continued Mikan. " I would NEVER nullify that psychic ALICE and ruined the perfomance!" (WELL SAID GIRL!!!!!)

"Not knowing where you are standing right now, defending yourself as usual, that's pretty good..." said Persona.

Mikan seemed to have realised that she had said the wrong thing.

"Teacher Serio (apparently another name of Persona's =D)," said Narumi.

"Right, about the punishment, i shall wait for more results after more investigations," said Persona. "However, as somebody that needed to be watched, Sakura Mikan shall be kept under further observation. As long as there is a little problem, I will not hesitate to take you away."

"This is so weird! Mikan is the victim here, why is she treated like a criminal here?"

"Tsubasa!" said Toono

"This absurdity! She did not even had a chance to explain!" continued Tsubasa.

"Whether or not is this an absurd, the circumstances will decide," said Persona. "But sure, i believe as friends, whatever she said will be believed as it is,"

All that had happened in the room had attracted much attention from students around.

Mikan was still not able to take what had just happened earlier.

"So then, see you again," said Persona as he left.

Hotaru then remembered of something that Mikan had told her some time back.

"Hotaru... i dreamt about Persona. He was glaring at me with those scary eyes from that expression at that time. Voices of that Principal was ringing creepily behind. It was so real that it seemed to turn in reality..."

Hotaru then held Mikan's hand.

"I felt insecure and scared..."

Hotaru and Narumi looked worried.

"It's no use-" popped in Kokoroyomi suddenly. "Students are all talking and spreading about how Mikan had caused the accident.

Both Subaru and Sakurai looked lost while Tsubasa just looked at Kokoroyomi for saying that suddenly and Tono just replied, "I see,"

Hotaru gave a blank look and said, "Haven't you gotten the wrong connection for the information that you should be telling us at this serious point of time?"

"There should be no room for us to loosen up but the situation was loosened up in that minute..." said Subaru.

"Whatever it is, the number of people taking in the rumours are far more than what was predicted. Also, there are some discontentment between students that the previous competition was not taken into account due to the accident," said Tono.

"Since most of the students that had believed in the rumours are people that are not close with Mikan there is nothing we can do but under this situation to continue the main event, Kibasen (erm.. direct translation: Horse Riding Battle f^_^) it's still hard."

"I am so sorry everyone," said Mikan.

Tono was startled to hear that because he thought she was not around.

"It was all my fault that things became like this.."continued Mikan.

"Mikan," said Tsubasa as he pushed Tono's head, "Silly! It's not your fault!"

"Instead of that, Senior," said Hotaru. "Are you intending to let Mikan take part in the next competition?"

"Well... Mikan's Nullification would come into good use...." began Tono.

"Please stop it, will you?" said Hotaru.

"Eh?"

"Hotaru..."

"I have a bad feeling about it," said Hotaru. "If Mikan is to participate in the next event, i am afraid that something bad will happen to her,"

"What are you talking..." said Subaru.

"Mikan," said Hotaru. "During the Sports Festival practice session, what on earth happened between you and Koizumi?"

"Hotaru..."said Mikan.

"I am certain that she has something to do this accident and the ruckus that had happened during the practice," said Hotaru. "You have been keeping quiet whenever it has anything to with her.

Tell it already, Mikan. It will be too late if anything like this happened again."

Hotaru... Mikan thought in her heart. Hotaru had been watching Koizumi's actions and me all this time...

"Thank you Hotaru," said Mikan. "I am very happy that you were worried for me... but..."

Mikan remembered what Luna told her at the room.

"If you wish the number of victims around you to decrease... you are to "keep quiet" and "not to attract attention"

"Sorry...i have no idea," continued Mikan. "I will work hard for Kibasen!"
she continued with her smile, "I will not cause any trouble to anyone anymore!"

"Mikan..." said Hotaru.

"Thank you, Hotaru," said Mikan. "All thanks to Hotaru that i am all energetic now! I shall now go and explain to classmates i have made worried!"

Mikan thought in her heart that she did not want anyone to worry for her anymore and that she cannot keep looking depressed.

Mikan had left to find her classmates. She saw Sumire telling off some students that had taken into the rumours about Mikan causing the accident. Mikan, however, hid behind a bush when she saw Sumire.

Just then Natsume came. Sumire wanted him to say something to those people who are 'friends' of Luna.

"Do not bother with Sakura Mikan any more," said Natsume.

Sumire and Ruka were shocked to hear that.

"Do not talk to her anymore. If you are not willing, get out of my sight this instant," continued Natsume. "She is not worthy of your protection at all!"

Luna smirked when she heard that.
Mikan was more than shocked when she heard that.

Natsume was reminded of what Luna had told him earlier - to be careful of not breaking the ice and to think before doing anything for Mikan.

"Natsume..." said Ruka, "What are you talking..."

"You heard me, get lost immediately. You're a pain in my eyes," said Natsume.

He was directing that to Mikan because he knew she was there. (I CAN ALMOST CRY!!!!!)

Ruka and Sumire could not believe what they have heard. Neither could Mikan.

Mikan then ran away.

Meanwhile, the guy whom Natsume had 'borrowed' his mask from for the Item Borrowing competition appeared. He tried to explain many things to Natsume. He told him that he had admired Natsume for a long time. He liked Natsume so much that he even imitated his hairstyle (boy...you can join Sumire in her Natsume Fan Club... but.. thanks to you Natsume confessed his love in the last competition xD).

Not listening, Natsume grabbed the mask that he was holding and chase after Mikan who was crying away as she ran. She could not understand what Natsume was trying to do. She did not want to cry but tears just kept flowing down.

Just then, someone from behind grabbed and HUGGED her! (NATSUME!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
It was a tight and long hug. Somehow, Mikan knew it was him.

Natsume let go of her and left.
He returned the mask to the boy that he had borrowed from. The boy promised that he would not leak a word to anyone for what had happened.

Little did Natsume know that after he had left, Mikan was looking at his back as he ran.

Side note: The feelings that could not be delivered to Mikan... Natsume could only get it through the mask...

Gakuen Alice Manga Chapter 85

Wed, 22 Aug 2007 10:53:55 GMT

Sorry for the long wait! ~~(i am losing motivation na.....)~~
~~Oh and, sorry friends, NO SCANS this time around :D~~

CHINESE SCANS - Provided by lysabelle_93 (Thank you ♥)

Comments are appreciated :)

Mikan thought, that view from behind...

"Wait,"

that earring... my wrist still feels warm from that grab earlier..

"Could you be..."

that was... Natsume. WHy... (MIKAN KNEW THAT IT WAS NATSUME THAT CONFESSED TO HER!!! \^0^/)

On the other hand, some students were preparing for the next Sports item, Cheerleading.

Mikan participated in that item. She was wearing Gakuran (a term for uniform; typically for boys).
Nonoko and Anna seemed to be surprised to see Mikan wearing a Gakuran because she is a girl.

Mikan explained that they will find out why until the cheerleading starts. That made both Anna and Nonoko curious to find out.

It has always been the White Team winning in the Cheerleading section, the Red Team however, is not going to let it happen this year.

Meanwhile, Ruka caught sight of Mikan. He was surprised at Mikan's attire.
Upon hearing Ruka went, "Sakura," Natsume who was beside Ruka turned and look quickly.

Mikan was shocked to see him.Nevertheless, she wanted to ask about that person earlier.

"Natsume..." She began.

"Good job (actual term was "Otsukaresama") to the Item-Borrowing Race earlier, Sakura-san," said a voice.

It was Luna.

"The fireworks were great. Natsume and I saw that together at a different location. Who could that masked person be, right?" Luna smirked.

Mikan was speechless while Luna's words rung in her head.

[Natsume and Koizumi-san... together...?]

She then recalled what Sumire had said earlier,

"If you're looking for Natsume.... he chased after Luna and the both of them disappeared to somewhere..."

Mikan could not believe it.

Luna then grabbed onto Natsume's arm and went off. Leaving both Ruka and Mikan behind.

"Aah~ it's so boring... Just like that attitude of yours and how popular that woman's daughter is at the moment, somehow, i feel like making this known..."

And it was the start of the Cheerleading component!

As expected, many surprises came from the White Team. Even members of the Red Team were awed.
However, Mikan was feeling down. She was thinking about what Luna had said earlier. She tried to tell herself that she was not at all affected by whatever that has happened, but the words,
"together" was ringing behind her ears.

She got so fed up that she started throwing things and shouting,

"SO I SAID I AM NOT AFFECTED!"

"Yes, just like what she said, we should not be affected by anything our enemy does," said Subaru as he points to the poster on the wall that says,
"Going My Way! My Pace"

Meantime, Tono-senpai appeared. Just like what he had planned, Mikan had not yet used up her ALICE points. He wanted her to keep that up so as to save her ALICE for the next sports item - Kibasen (a typical category in Japanese Sports)
That sparked the fire in Mikan to work hard for the Cheerleading section.

On the other side, Ruka realised that it was Mikan's turn to perform when he saw Koizumi and Hotaru together. (RUKA-KUN!!! xDDD)

"Thank you for lending your shoulder, Imai-san. I thought it was just a sprain yet it was so difficult to walk," said Luna (you sprained your ankle??? SERVES YOU RIGHT! xD)

"It's alright," replied Hotaru coldly.

"But I am so happy that I am able to talk like that with Imai-san," continued LUna.

Ruka was watching the 2 of them and wondering where they would be going.

"I feel that this is a longer route to the Nurse's office though..."said Hotaru.

"Ah.. i am so sorry," said Luna.

Why is Imai with Luna...? Ruka thought. He remembered how Luna treated Natsume and called him a Shitty Brat.

"It was on purpose... I wanted to be with Imai-san. Just the 2 of us. I thought it would be nice if the 2 of us can remain as good friends," said Luna. "No?" (SHE'S ACTING CUTE!!! *PUKES*)

Hotaru remembers the marks that she saw on some students when Luna was talking with them. After a while she replied,

"I don't mind though,"

"Really?" said Luna, "Because I seemed to be hated by Sakura-san already, so I thought Imai-san might not be fond of me as well. I had been upset over that all the time. If it's possible, can we remain friends from now till forever?"

"I don't mind though," said Hotaru.

"Really?" said Luna, "I am happy..."

Just then, Luna attempted to do something to Hotaru. Ruka saw it and shouted,

"IMAI!"

Both Luna and Hotaru turned and looked at RUka.

"Sa..Sakura's Cheer is beginning soon.. so..." (KYAAA~! RUKAxHOTARU!! xD)

"I am so sorry, Koizumi-san,"said Hotaru, smiling,"This boy (actual term was "kono ko","Ko" is usually used to describe a child) behaves like this whenever i am not around,"

"I see,"said Luna,"I understand,"

Ruka went blank when he heard that he was being referred to as "this boy"

And the 2 of them ran off.

"Imai!! What do you mean 'this boy'?" said Ruka as he run.

"Ruka-kun, good job! Nice timing!" said Hotaru.

"Heh?" replied Ruka.

"That mark on the neck, I am not more certain that it was Koizumi Luna's ALICE's works!"

"What..do you.."

"Although nothing has yet to happen so far in this Sports Festival, judging from Koizumi Luna's actions today, I have a bad feeling to it,"said Hotaru.
"I know why in that big ruckus caused earlier, no teachers or anyone came! In that case, you and I shall crush this bad feeling together!" (YAY~! RUKAxHOTARU!!)

"Imai..!?"

"I shall continue to observe Koizumi Luna, at the same time watch how Mikan is doing. Ruka-kun, you shall go look out for people with that black mark on their necks," said Hotaru.

Sakura..! Ruka thought.

At the same time, it was time for the Red Team to perform.

The students were using their ALICE to create rain and wind, surprising and impressing the audience.
At one point all the students began to remove their clothes (even Natsume was curious xD) and they revealed their various costumes underneath!

All of them were in a "Bee" outfit except for Mikan. She was in a "Butterfly" outfit.

And then there was fireworks and red flowers begin to fall from the sky. It was then realised that the flowers were only illusion.
Narumi realised that one of the students were using his Psychic ALICE to lift the students to the sky. (it was hard work for the students >.< otsukare~!)

Mikan, You-chan, Iinchou, Kokoroyomi-kun and Kitsuneme-kun formed a circle in the sky as the words, "Red Victory" formed on the ground.

Mikan felt that they have done it! It was a big success and that everyone was happy!

However, at the point of time, Luna acted.

The boy using his Psychic ALICE on Mikan was not able to use his powers.
Mikan began to fall from the sky.

Everyone looking were shocked to see that Mikan was falling.
Kitsuneme-kun attempted to grab Mikan but failed.

Everyone on ground were panicking while Natsume was worried-sick.

The boy who used his ALICE on Mikan was shocked that his ALICE was not working.

Thankfully, Mikan was saved by Sakurano's ALICE at the very last minute before she touched the ground.He heaved a sigh of relieve.

Luna, on the other hand was smirking. Hotaru saw her doing that.

Mikan was too shocked to realise what had happened to her and she fell unconscious after that incident.

After Mikan was attended to, one of the Principals was smiling in the background as well. (but seriously, what's there to smile or smirk when Mikan is not even dead yet????!!!)

Mikan was sent to the Nurse's room while the boy who was responsible for Mikan's psychic ability was being questioned. It was said that accidents like that had never happened before in the acadedemy.
However, it was unbelievable that the boy lost control over his ALICE because he was an execellant Psychic-User.
The psychic boy explained that he tried to use his ALICE with all his might earlier but it did not work.

Meanwhile at the Nurse's Room, Mikan had finally regained her consciousness with her friends surrounding her.

"That student victim is a Nullification ALICE user. I have often heard of many judgements about that girl. They said that she is not a hardworker... surprisingly, it might possibly seemed to be her Nullifying ALICE that had
resulted in today's accident," said a voice.

"Persona..."

Why is it that Persona is there at that moment.....!?

Chapter 86 will be released on 20 Sept Hana Yume Vol 20

Gakuen Alice Special Chapter

Mon, 13 Aug 2007 15:32:19 GMT

Comments are appreciated :)

It was sometime in April when Sakura flowers were blooming that Hotaru-chan was transferred to the Alice Academy. The first impression i had on her was the 'whatever~' expression on her face.

Narumi, " She's your new friend, Imai Hotaru! Be nice to her~! Her ALICE is Invention,"

At the same time, Iinchou was thinking that it would be his responsibility to let her blend into the class.

" She was enroled into the school with 2 stars~! She has a ve~~~ry good reputation~! Ok, be quiet, " continued Narumi.

'Idiots', are definitely something spread through air, Hotaru thought. She puts on her mask and walked away.
Some students at the back were having not happy with her act while Narumi was confused why she did that.

At the end of the day, Hotaru-chan did not talk to anyone in class, neither did she become familar with the class. Next day...

Today too, i must make a proper conversation with Imai-san, Iinchou thought.

"Morning~" he greeted.

It was more than what i have expected. Hotaru-chan had familarized with the class, Iinchou thought as he saw her surrounded by classmates asking her questions on her inventions.

Hotaru was telling one of the students the kind of function of that the mask (Tamago Mask) that she was wearing has when after she was done, Iinchou approached her introducing himself.

After Hotaru replied, "nice to meet you," 2 other students approached Hotaru.

Apparently those students were 'friends' of Natsume. They were unpleased with Hotaru's arrogant attitude and that she has never said "Hi' to Natsume. One of them wanted Hotaru to show her face to him, she passed him another invention of hers, a pig mask.

And she fled. (hahah xD)

Since that day, Hotaru's life had not been peaceful. She had to arm herself with weapons to protect her from stupid attacks from her classmates. But of course, her classmates were no opponents of her xD

And because of that, she was called to the staff room for scoldings many times by Jinno-sensei xD
Due to that, Hotaru found Jin-Jin really noisy and that she wished to be in a quieter place. Hence she invented the Caterpillar home~ (she used that in ep 4 to hide herself from Mr. Bear in the forest)

Iinchou met up with Hotaru after which. He was telling Hotaru about the Top Student Award in the academy and that she would stand a chance if only she could get herself out of the mess.

Just then, Natsume and Ruka appeared!!

The other student that was fooled by Hotaru was complaining to Natsume.

Hotaru looked at Natsume while both Natsume and Ruka were looking at her.

Natsume... Hotaru thought.
The Union Student something... Natsume thought.

Then somehow, the atmosphere turned into a 'Whoever goes off first wins" situation.

"Eh? Natsume, are you going off already?" said someone.
"We're busy right now! Stupid!" returned Natsume.

And Natsume left. (He won xD)

And because of that, Hotaru invented Speedy Swan ^0^/
At the same time, she invented some spying gadets xD

She was already making use of such gadgets that she has invented to take photos of Ruka and sold them off secretly. (Apprarently, Sumire seems to be one of her regular customers xD)

Soon after, Hotaru was promoted to a 3-star student. However, she was not happy at all.
She was thinking of all the letters that she has received from Mikan.

It looks like Hotaru had been trying to reply her letters but all of her letters got rejected by the school except for the one on summer and that she wanted watermelon.

After Hotaru mailed out her 'approved' letter, Narumi and Misaki-sensei approached her. (Hotaru was playing puppets with Kokoroyomi xD)

"What is it?" Hotaru asked.
"Erm... I heard that you seemed to be feeling down these days so... if there's anything that you would like to talk about, feel free to tell me ♥" said Narumi.

"These guys were told by some great authorities to come and persuade you to make some machines..." said Kokoroyomi.

"It's difficult to do this..." said Narumi as he passed Hotaru a stack of letters, "It's a bit off to ask you at this point of time... but because of your ALICE, there are many fans out there wanting you. I wonder if that would help cheer you up..?"

Hotaru looked at Narumi as though accepting his words.

"Ah! Could it be some love relationship problems that you're having instead of homesick? If that's the case, i can be of great help...!" added Narumi. He was bashed up shortly by Misaki-sensei for saying such things.

Hotaru, in the meantime, was thinking of punching the 2 of them. Hence, she invented the Horse-shoe Glove and Deer-shoe Glove for punching xD

Back to when Hotaru was alone. She was reading one of her fans' letters. She felt that the handwriting was untidy xD

Dear Imai Hotaru,

I am an old man from Italy. I am a big fan of your makers.
Last year, i lost a couple of daughters and is feeling lonely.
I have a request from you. I hope you could make me a cute robot.
One that would not die before me, a very very very very very cute robot, that would always be by my side giving my energy....

And the robot was made! It was Penguin! (a cute robot)

Somehow, it looks like that baka (fool)... Hotaru thought. She was thinking of Mikan as she played with her new invention.

"Oh yes oh yes, Mikan-chan," said Iinchou. " Do you know when was the first time Hotaru-chan smiled ever since she came?"

"Hmm? No... when? when?" replied Mikan.

"It was on the day that Mikan-chan came," answered Iinchou.

After hearing that, Mikan flew herself at Hotaru. That made Hotaru said, "What is it? You're being disgusting..."

「Come here, Baka」 -- Hotaru

END.

Gakuen Alice Chapter 84

Thu, 02 Aug 2007 12:22:52 GMT

Comments are appreciated :)

The chapter opened with Luna's last words,

"Anyway, they will be pulled apart by destiny afterall...faraway..."

Natsume wanted to say something but was cut by Luna,

"Well, it is going to turn out that way anyway. However, whether or not she (Mikan) would be that happy afterall is another story..."

Luna then walked away but Natsume went after her, "Wait, you bastard" (< Natsume said "kono yarou" actually~ "kono" means "this" while "yarou" means "bastard"... but if i were to translate the meaning literally, it would make no sense~ So i left it that way xD)

The scene changes to Mikan and company going for lunch~
She was looking very forward to the lunch menu only to know that each lunch menu was different according to the different star rankings. She was very disappointed after looking at what Hotaru will be eating. But that was nothing compared with having to eat with Jin-Jin xD (Apparently he was STILL very unpleased with the 'cosplay' incident xD)

Then, Ruka came over~~ (some students at the back were asking him to join them for lunch)

RUKAxMIKAN fans please rejoice!!!!

RUKA ASKED MIKAN FOR LUNCH TOGETHER!!!!

Mikan was happy about it because she thought it would be more fun having Ruka in her company of friends for lunch~~ That also, attracted some attention at the back.

However, friends whom Mikan were suppose to have lunch together with, Kokoroyomi-kun, Kitsuneme-kun, Hotaru-chan and Iinchou immediately packed and wanted to leave the 2 of them together for lunch.

Both Kokoroyomi & Kitsuneme made a 'stop' sign with their hands saying that "because they were the duo in amongst the rumours~~"

Mikan was puzzled by the words they said. But she continued persuading her friends to eat with her. However...

Kitsuneme, "I said no~~ Madam~~" (<< in that case, Kokoroyomi said 'Oku-san', meaning wife of somebody in Japanese)

At the back of Kitsuneme's shirt printed, "The first step to Ruka-pyon's adulthood"

"We just saw the good setting of the both of you earlier~~~"

"We didn't want to get involve~~~~ Ohohohohohohoho~~~~"

At the back of Kokoroyomi's shirt printed, "Appeared~~~"

Kokoroyomi continued,

"Because you see, Ruka-pyon acted like as though he was confessing his love earlier~~~ (some small letters printed in the speech bubble said "Today's Kokoroyomi is Kuuki-yomi ("air"-reader; in this case, 'air' refers to 'atmosphere')"

After Kokoroyomi said that, some students were disccusing if they were already a pair... Hotaru seems concerned when she turned and looked the two behind...

"By the way, where's Natsume?" asked Mikan (NatsumeXMikan fans scream!!!!!).
She felt uneasy that people's eyes were on them as she and Ruka were together.

"Ah! No no no!! I am not saying that i want to have lunch with him!!! Just that... i thought if he's not with Ruka-pyon, perhaps he would be eating alone.... i wonder where he would be eating at..."

"Natsume is...." said a voice from behind, "If you're looking for Natsume.... he chased after Luna and the both of them disappeared to somewhere..."

"PERM!!!!" shouted Mikan.

"I.AM.SO.PISSED. THAT LUNA!" continued Sumire.

Both Mikan and Ruka were shocked to see her talk.

"To think that that girl can make Natsume go after her! Just what kind of trick did she use?!"

Mikan was surprised to hear that from Sumire.

"Natsume-kun too!! Just what is so nice about that girl???!!!!.... right now i bet the 2 of them are together..." Sumire added.

Mikan was sad after hearing that.

Then, Sumire turned to the both Ruka and Mikan and said, "BY.THE.WAY. Rumours about the two of you are going out went into my ears...COULD.IT.BE...?"

"How could it be?? explained Mikan, very shocked.

"Oh is it? Then it's ok," said Sumire.

She then joined the rest for lunch together.

Little did Mikan and the rest knew that Natsume was only behind them. He has been hiding and watching from behind.

Meanwhile, there was an announcement made to gather participants for the next sports item - Item-Borrowing Run

Natsume was still looking at Ruka and Mikan from where he was standing. He saw how happy Mikan was with Ruka and he was reminded of how Ruka called Mikan earlier after his run, made him wanted to hide himself from them. He saw a random on the bench near him, he picked up the mask and put it on.

That mask that Natsume had on his face was an ALICE mask belonging to a student, Kusami. (Poor boy... he could not find his mask!!!!)

Just then, a boy kicked Natsume from behind the minute after Natsume had the mask on.

"OI YOU! That participant over there! Where do you think you're going??!! Go and get ready now!!!"

(ROFL!) Yeap! Kusami was suppose the participant for the next item but because Natsume's and his hairstyles were about the same, it was no difference on the outside as to who is whom.

Natsume was pissed with that boy's attitude (hahah~ because he kicked him!!)

"That mask.. You must be Kusami-kun from the Junior department! Quickly go and queue together with the other participants!!" and that boy threw Natsume over with the other participants.

Item-Borrowing Race?, Natsume thought. He was very lost as to what had just happened. (KAWAII~!!)

"The Item-Borrowing Race will now commence! Rules are simple, in the middle of the route, there will be a box with lots. Participants will have to borrow the item, be it a human or a thing, and run together with the borrowed item to the goal line! That's it!"

Just then, friends of Kusami mistook Natsume for him came over to him to wish him luck. One of them gave Natsume a hit at the back while the other called him an idiot because he was 'daydreaming'.

Natsume was very unpleased with their attitude that one of them said,

"What...what is with this sense of danger aura...?"

Natsume then began thinking on his own and figured who Kusami was. He was the owner of that mask.
Now that he was more calm, he looked around at the other participants. They include, Misaki-sensei, Serina-sensei, Subaru and the rest.

Natsume went "..." after looking around. (HAHAHAHA XD)

"HOWEVER!!! As expected of ALICE Academy! The paper used for the lot is specially designed in a way that the item to be borrowed will be the thing that will not be an easy thing for the participant to borrow! For example, to a participant that has a teacher he hates, he would have to bring the teacher here and run to the goal line with him!

After the item was borrowed, whatever that was written on the paper will be revealed in a form of fireworks in the school. The judges will judge if the results were 'acceptable', 'somehow' or 'not acceptable' based on the fireworks!

If the result was 'acceptable', the team receives 50 points!
If the result was 'somhow', the team receives 10 points!
If the result was 'no acceptable', the team loses 10 points! "

Upon hearing that, Natsume had a funny expression on his face. In his heart he was imagining the words written on the paper to be exploded into the air as fireworks. He thought, what's with this race? i should slip myself out soon...

Unfortunately...

"Where did you think you're going?" said someone.

"Let the race begin!" said the announcer (i love you! xDD)

"Aren't you getting ready?" continued that boy who stopped Natsume. (i love you too xDD)

At the same time, Mikan and friends had made it to watch the race.
They saw Misaki-sensei, Serina-sensei and Yuri-senpai running in the race.

Ruka was wondering where Natsume had gone to.
Oh well, Ruka-pyon, Natsume was in the race~~ (Mikan spotted Subaru running~~)

It was about time for the 2nd lane runners to run~
Natsume was very pissed. (LOL~)

In the meantime, this is the position of the runners in the race:

1- Misaki-sensei
2- Yuri-sama (<< i wonder why '-sama')
3- XX-Kun
4- Serina-sensei

And the teachers drew their lots!
The things that they had to borrow...

Misaki-sensei - Erai Chibi (literally translated = Great Midget)
Serina-sensei - Uzai Douryou (literally translated = Annoying Colleague)
Yuri-senpai - a girl that loves girls
XX-kun - a baldy's wig used to hide his baldy head

The first thing that came to each's minds (XX-kun was not mentioned, because he is just a random anoymous character) were

Misaki-sensei - School's principal (that shortie xD)
Serina-sensei - JIN-JIN! (he IS really that annoying eh?)
Yuri-senpai - i can't remember the name, but it was that girl in the Flower Party that drooled at the sight of Hotaru xD

All of them were stunned to see what they have seen~
All of them felt that that piece of paper had no mercy at all....

They had no choice but to run and borrow the items written on each piece of paper~~

Meantime, the other runners had reached the middle point of the race.

This time, Subaru was the first to pick his lot.
He was shocked to see, "The number 1 most loved younger sister" on his paper.
He was stoned there for some time while Hotaru, seemed to know what was written on that piece of paper let out a scary laughter that frightened Mikan. At the same time, Misaki-sensei approached Iinchou, asking him for help~

Then, Natsume picked his lot.

He looked at it and remembered the way Ruka called out to Mikan ealier in the race.

Just then, the other runners had reached the goal line one by one.
Instead of pulling who the runners had thought of at first, they picked 'substitutes'

Serina-sensei picked Narumi (poor Narumi!! He was so happy and wondering why Serina-sensei picked him!),
Misaki-sensei picked Iinchou,
Yuri-senpai picked Yamauchi (poor Yuri-senpai... she was apologising and apologising when the fireworks of the words written on the piece of paper appeared in the sky xD)
XX-Kun picked someone with HAIR wearing a wig (that boy he picked was crying after he saw the results.. *pats pats*

The panel of judges (Kokoroyomi was one of them~~) gave the teachers 10 points each while XX-kun loses 10 points~

Subaru was still stoning and Hotaru was looking at him.

Just then, someone came and pulled Mikan away. It was NATSUME!!!!!
He was pulling Mikan and running with her to the goal line!

Mikan was surprised and wondered who that person was.

Both of them crossed the line, and the words on the paper exploded into pretty fireworks in the air.....
It read,

*please breathe a lot a lot people*

SUKI NA HITO [SOMEONE [I] LIKED] （≧▽≦ Way to go Natsume!)

The announcer thought that the masked guy was Kusami and was excited to see that all-time favourite item in this race!

However, Ruka somehow knew that that person was Natsume from his back view.

The judges gave Natsume's results a perfect! The announcer then continued saying that his love confession was a success! (HAHAHAAHAH~!)

Natsume then ran away. Mikan was still wondering who that person was until she caught a glimpse of Natsume's earrings. (NATSUMEXMIKAN FANS!!!!!! LET'S GROUP HUG!!!!!!!!)

Natsume ran towards the building and Mikan was going after him.
In that building, Kusami saw Natsume.

"Wait! My imposter! I saw everything!!! Return my..."

*PA!*

Natsume slapped Kusami's mask onto his face.

"Ah, wait!"Kusami continued

But Natsume ran away.

Mikan finally caught up but Natsume was still too fast for her.

"WAIT!" she shouted.

Could it be, she thought.

At that important junction, Kusami sneezed...
That's right, Kusami's ALICE was "Storm-like Sneezing" and it was so powerful that he needed an ALICE mask to control it, he was without his mask when he sneezed, thus Mikan was 'blown' away by him.

Mikan fell unconscious but when she woke up, she found herself surrounded by Hotaru and friends.

She asked about the Item-Borrowing Race, Hotaru said,

"It was over. Red Team won,"

"Heh?" said Mikan.

" It was discovered that some mystery person instead of the original runner had run the race. As penalty, the team lost,"

However, because that piece of paper that Natsume had picked, representing a love confession, during the race was left over, everyone was dying to find out who that runner was.

Somehow Mikan had a feeling that it was Natsume...

Everyone's hearts was left with something by the culprit, but the culprit himself was still hiding away in the forest...

END.

Chapter 85 will be published on 20 August, HanaYume Vol. 18

Gakuen Alice Manga Chapter 83

Sat, 28 Jul 2007 08:17:08 GMT

Sorry for the long wait!!! (shall spare the long story)
NO SCANS this time around! Sorry about that!

Comments are appreciated :)

Continuing from Chapter 82 on the Sports Festival, it was now Jinno-sensei's turn to enter the cosplay machine!!Everyone was anticipating Jinno's cosplay. In the meantime, Hotaru was leading in the run with 5 people catching up with her. Just as the host was annoucing if the positions of the current runners will change after the cosplay, Jinno-sensei emerged from the cosplay machine.

To everyone's surprise+horror (LOL), Jinno-sensei came out with HARDGAY (some Japanese comedian) cosplay!!!!
Jinno-sensei was very pissed. Members of the red team at the side were having little conversations amongst themselves.

"Somehow... i am beginning to feel that the presence of God is not here...
It looks like he is going to be merciless..."

(seems like Tono) , " Jin-Jin... Hardgay.... "
Anonymous A, "Stop laughing, or we'll be punished serverely..."

Tsubasa, " If Red Team is not going to win this race, I guess all of us will be dead,"

Next was Tono's turn to enter the cosplay machine. He emerged with a really cool-looking Pirate Cosplay!!! (He looked really cool in that outfit!) Almost all of the spectators were unhappy about that because it seems that he would be able to reach the goal effortlessly. Just as Tono was about to think that way, and give credits to his good personality, he realised that one of his foot was tied to a weight!

"Excuse me, this is...?" asked Tono.
"Please run together with it," came the reply.
"But i can't move my leg," said Tono.
"Please run together with it," came the reply.

(LOL~ Ganbare, Tono~) The runners began to dash to the goal line leading with,

1- Jinno-sensei [with embarrassment and anger],
2- Hotaru,
3 -Tono (With his weight)

However, Yamauchi over took (or rather, over 'leapt' xD) him with her Rabbit Cosplay, causing the current positions to be,

1 - Jinno-sensei (Hardgay cosplay)
2- Hotaru (Codfish cosplay)
3 - Yamauchi (Rabbit cosplay)
4 - [Baka] Tono (Pirate cosplay with a weight ball)

At this point, Team C of White Team has gotten into trouble with his cosplay. That runner has gotten a Mountain Costume. Upon seeing that, Sumire said,

"Oh no, what should we do now, Ruka-kun?"

Ruka looked worried about the winning because no matter what it takes, he wanted to win this competition.

At the same time, another runner had entered the cosplay machine. It was Misaki-senpai!

"WHAT'S WITH THIS OUTFIT?!"

Misaki-senpai came out in a Devil outfit in the form of a Bikini!! Her appearance stunned everyone! Some students even wanted to take photos of Misaki while Misaki was swearing at them! On the other hand, Tsubasa and even Natsume could not take their eyes of Misaki.

In the mean time, running in the lead, Jinno-sensei, followed by Yamauchi had handed their batons to their partners. Hotaru and Misaki were catching up fast behind.

Misaki attempted to pass Tsubasa her baton, but because of Misaki's appearance, Tsubasa was staring at her so much that he was not able to get the baton from Misaki. Misaki saw that Tsubasa's eyes were on her, she bahed him on his face screaming,

"QUICKLY GET THE BATON! Don't look!"

Hotaru had finally reached Natsume to pass him the baton.
Somehow, the atmostphere between the 2 were not friendly.

Natsume showed a pissed look that said,

"Quickly pass it over to me, dimwit!"

Hotaru got his message, and was pissed altogether. So, instead of passing him the baton, she threw it onto the floor (LOL~! Hotaru! You go girl! ≧▽≦) She 'explained' ,

"You see, because i am dressed like this so it is impossible for me to pick it up for you,"

Natsume was speechless.

At that point of time, runners of the 3rd lane began running with Kitsuneme-kun in the lead, followed by Anonymous Runner and closely following behind, Tsubasa. They have reached the 3rd arena. It appears to be an Ice Pond.

Runners have to cross the pond without using their feet. However, they were allowed to use props provided such as pole or rope, to get across. Once the runner's foot touched the pond, that runner would have to restart the race.

Natsume had caught up with the rest (it's ticklish imagining him bending down to get the baton that Hotaru-chan dropped in purpose xDDD). Yet, Tono has only reached the point to pass on his baton. As he was running (or rather dragging), he told Sakurano breathlessly after the announcement,

"That's... that's great, Sakurano! You can cross over using Teleportation to turn the situation around!"
"Stop talking and run faster, useless guy," said Sakurano reading a book titled, "Ikari no Sakuranbo" [The Angered Cherry] (<< most likely to be referring to himself xD)

Back to the where everyone was... (LOL~)

Kitsuneme-kun leapt over the entire pond with the least effort. While the 2nd runner-up tried to cross over using bamboo sticks but fell over. The time was 12 noon, with a sun burning hot in the sky. Apparently, Tsubasa was not making any moves. Just as the announcer felt that it was weird, he realised that Tsubasa was trying to get over the pond with his Shadow ALICE. And he got over the pond very cooly controlling shadows~ xD

Everyone was awed by his marvellous control of his ALICE. Even the sponsors were so impressed that they clapped. Mikan was very impressed by Tsubasa too.

Just as Misaki-senpai was praising Tsubasa for his good work, Natsume came 'flying' over from behind, knocking him on the head with his knee. Apparently, Natsume jumped over the pond with the help of a long pole. It was totally unexpected. Natsume had changed the flow of the runner's position. The current position was now,

1 - Natsume (the announcer seemed to be unhappy about it because he sweared >.<)
2 - Kitsuneme-kun
3 - (Staggering) Tsubasa

Finally, Sakurano and Ruka had caught up! It was their turns to cross over the pond.
Sakurano cleared that station with his Teleportation ALICE while Ruka called over his eagle to help him cross over.

Both of them finally were able to catch up with the rest.

The current positions of the runners were

1- Natsume
2 - Tsubasa (closely behind)

The both of them reached the last station almost at the same time.

Meanwhile, Ruka was starting to get discouraged. He felt that he was not able to catch up after all. At that point of time, he fell.

"Ruka-pyon!" shouted Mikan.

Ruka looked over and remembered the line, "Let's work hard for this together!"

He picked himself to his feet and continued running.

Over at the last station, it turned out that runners have to bring a certain animal to the goal line in the way of drawing lots. And our Natsume got himself the GIANT PYO!!! (LOL~~~)

And of course, Natsume was pissed at that result. He kicked (gently) at Pyo telling him to go but Pyo seemed to be unwilling to move. Just then, the announcer said,

"Hyuuga-kun, Pyo looks like he doesn't want to do it, please stop it,"

In the meantime...

'Tsubasa, what animal did you get?" asked Misaki-senpai.
"Let me see.... Monkey. In that case, i shall use shadow ALICE and..."

But it turned out that the monkey was TOO FAST for Tsubasa to use his ALICE on it!!!!

The other runners got:

Kitsuneme-kun → Mr. Bear

Kitsuneme-kun escaped once he saw his result. That sent Jinno blasting at him (LOL~~~)

Sakurano → Pig

That pig was reluctant to walk with strangers... (Poor Sakurano...)

Anonymous Runner → Snake

That snake was too fierce for him (>0<~)

Finally, Ruka had reached the final station. He got 'Horse' for his animal.
It turned out to be a very violent and untamed ROBOTIC HORSE!

Ruka was totally speechless to hear the word, "Robot" from the announcer.

Just then, the mic was turned off while the announcers talked in private.

Announcer in Cat costume: Umm.. can i ask, is it ok to use robots?
Announcer in Bunny costume: No worries~ Even it is robot, its heart still belongs to an animal~ Just like Mr. Bear!
Announcer in Cat costume: Oh.. i see..
Announcer in Bunny costume: Speaking of which, i wonder how would the students of this academy would think..
Announcer in Cat costume: I wonder too...

The horse began kicking around that he almost hit Ruka while the other runners were trying their best to bring their animals to the goal.

Ruka sensed that the horse was not fierce in nature. That horse was only frightened and wanted to return to where he was originally. Ruka thought that instead of bringing him to the goal, he knew he had to first calm the horse.

Ruka communicated to the horse that it is going to be alright and that there is nothing to be afraid of. Somehow, Ruka's voice had reached the other animals too. Pyo went over to the horse, telling it that it would be all right.

The horse was finally calmed and he allowed Ruka to sit on his back. All of a sudden, all the animals were surrounding Ruka and accompanying him to the goal.

The announcers were surprised at what they saw.

Eventually, Ruka headed to the goal line and became the Champion of the race!! (YAY~!)

Ruka was still feeling lost. He asked himself, had i won?

Many people crowded around him congratulating for his Championship. He was looking for Mikan. He finally saw her. He shouted, "Sakura!"

He thought, for the first time, I became number 1 in front of Sakura.

Mikan smiled back at him.

The second place was Red Group, Team A followed by Red Group Team B ^0^

Just as Natsume was looking at that group where Ruka and Mikan were, a voice came from behind,

"[Making fond memories], i shall accept that and shall not interupt them then,"
"You..." said Natsume.
"Yes. Don't be childish. Isn't it good? Why don't you just let that 2 of them be together like this for now? " said Luna.
"Heh..?"
"Anyway, they will be pulled apart by destiny afterall..."continued Luna.

END OF CHAPTER 83

CHATPER 84 WILL BE RELEASED ON 4 AUG, HANAYUME NO.17

Gakuen Alice Manga Chapter 82

Fri, 29 Jun 2007 18:03:36 GMT

IMPORTANT:

Before i start, i wish to let everyone reading this know that this chapter was translated from CHINESE SCANS. In other words, the accuracy of this summary can be less reliable (although i would say that 99% should be accurate) because i did not get to see the original works of this chapter. I apologise on that because i figured that this chapter was not worth buying after reading a short summary on it.

I have included links to the scans of this chapter. Just in case anybody wants to see it (even if it is not in Japanese), just scroll the screen down to the bottom and you'll find them! Off to the summary! ^0^/

Comments are appreciated :)

Finally! It is the official opening of the Sports Festival! Even though it is the opening of the event, to Mikan, it was very much the 'closing'. She recalled what Natsume had said to her previsouly,

"Is it a toruble to you even if i am worried for you?"
"Yes. It is," replied Mikan previously.

To that reply, Natsume answered, "Is that so? " (according to the person who did the chinese trans, he/she mentioned that Natsume replied with 'so-ka yo?' very much meaning to 'is that so?' in English ^__^)

The 2 of them had stopped talking ever since. It was very against Mikan's heart to give that kind of reply to Natsume though. Just as she felt really frustrated towards her reply, Iinchou shouted to her that the match has begun. At the same time, Ruka threw a glance at her but Mikan did not see him.

Mikan has decided that at all costs, she is going to work hard for this Sports Festival.

A series of games have started involving ALICEs from all classes. One of the stations include a game by which a row of buns were hanging in the air and students have to bite them off and finish the buns before they were allowed to proceed to the next station. However, the buns were not 'normal' buns.

One of the students fell asleep after eating one of them because that bun contained Sleeping Medicine, Kokoroyomi ate one and became bloated like a balloon (he flew away with Mikan and You-chan waving their goodbyes to him xD Poor boy~) while Iinchou got one that, no matter how much he ate, the bun is able to grow back the portion that had been eaten earlier so that the bun forever remained as a whole.

Those stuffs were made by students of the Technical Class, Nonoko-chan and Anna-chan to be specific xD

Meanwhile, Tsubasa shouted out to Mikan informing her that Tono seemed to be calling for her attention.
Mikan then went over to the room reserved for students taking part in the obstacles course relay together with Tsubasa.

In there Tono briefed Mikan on the next race. Looks like the Obstacles Course Relay had been the station of which it has the most attention to and the most number of points to be awarded to to the winner of that race. Whether or not, the red team's points can be improved all relied on that race. Speaking of the most important thing that is needed for the race, apart from energy and ALICE, it would be LUCK. That is because the kinds of traps that the participant can be encountered of is totally unpredictable and can be dangerous. Hence, the red team had sent out the participants that looked strong for the race and students that had hardly used any ALICE in the first half of the race.

Below is the list of participants:

Red Team:

- Mikan
- Tono
- Tsubasa
- Misaki
- Sakurano (HEH?!)
- Jinno (Hmm~)
- Kitsuneme-kun

White Team:

- Natsume
- Hotaru
- Ruka
- Shizune
- Sumire
- Narumi (GEH?!)
- Anonymous Student A

Mikan was shocked to see that she has been listed as one of the runners because she has never heard of anyone spoken this to her before. Tsubasa was apparently surprised too.

Tono added that even though this race is rather popular, no one wishes to participate.

And both she and Tsubasa were dragged away by Tono himself and Sakurano respectively. Seeing that, Subaru said while pushing his glasses, "If you're hurt, i'll be there to do the healing. So be rest assured," (Good luck, Mikan-chan xD)

And, the race began~

This race works with 3 students of the same team forming 1 group to do a relay. There will be a total of 6 groups.

It was announced how the students were divided.

Group 1 (Red)

- Andou Tsubasa
- Harada Misaki
- Noda-sensei

Group 2 (White)

- Hyuuga Natsume
- Imai Hotaru
- Anonymous Student A

Group 3 (Red)

- Tono Akira
- Sakurano Syuuichi
- Hijiri Youichi

At the point, Narumi felt that the Red team has got very interesting members.
The announcer continued.

Group 4 (White)

- Narumi-sensei
- Yamanouchi Shizune
- Anonymous Student B

Tono was taken aback by the members in Group 4 after he heard that.
The announcement continued.

Group 5 (Red)

- Jinno-sensei << he was not happy that he had to do this...
- Sakura Mikan << she is afraid of being in Jin-Jin's group
- Kitsuneme-kun

Mikan was very affected by that grouping but had no choice to comply. Ruka looked over at her group and thought, Sakura. At the same time, the names for the last group were announced.

Group 6 (White)

- Shoda Sumire
- Nogi Ruka
- Anonymous Student C (poor White team.. they have too many unknown students...)

Ruka walked over to Mikan and said,

"Sakura..."

Mikan turned over and looked at him.

"Er..." Ruka began. He wanted to ask if she is alright by what had happened earlier and not to be too bothered with that but instead he said, "Let's work hard! Be careful not to hurt yourself,"

"Ruka-" replied Mikan. Sadly before she could continue, Tono had come to pull her away saying,

"What are you doing? Dating with an enemy? Come with me... "

"Don't underestimate Sports Festival! Don't underestimate enemies!" were written at the background of Sakurano, Tsubasa, Jinno and Tono as Tono tried to pull Mikan away from Ruka. Ruka was left with a question mark~ (Poor Ruka-pyon *sniff sniff*)

Both Hotaru and Shizune saw what had happened, ,

"Ruka, don't create such a romantic atmosphere at this time," Hotaru said to Ruka. Apparently, she feels happy about it. Probably it was because she had earned some money through that little act of Ruka (the head band that Hotaru was wearing had the days of a week written. Friday was written extra big because "Friday" written in Japanese can also mean 'Gold', in other words, money, in this case ^__^)

Mikan managed to shout "Thank you, Ruka-pyon!" to Ruka ^__^o

On the other hand, someone had realised that both Natsume and Ruka were running the 3rd lane in this race. The students were looking forward to that because it is rare to see the both of them compete against each other.

In the meantime, the settings for the Obstacle Race were done and the race can begin promptly.

Not any of them wishes to lose in this match, including Mikan. All of them had decided to do their best in it.

The first round of the race was to cross over a hurdle.

Narumi-sensei thought that it was lucky of him to encounter such things. However, just as he was about to jump over the hurdle in his lane, that hurdle was raised higher so that Narumi-sensei hit himself onto it.

Many people had thought that those were normal hurdles, after some explanation by the announcer, it turned out that those hurdles were "Unpredictably Stretchable Hurdles". They can either raise or shrunk by themselves randomly.
Still, Mikan and Sumire were able to cross over the hurdle smoothly. Mikan thought that the race may be much better than she has thought earlier.

After crossing the hurdle was "Riding on Balls". Students were to pick out any balls they see on the floor and ride them to the next station. The balls were in all different sizes. Some were incredibly puny while some where terribly huge. However, once any ball touches them, they were not allowed to change.

Sumire quickly made her decision on the ball that she is going to ride on. She has decided on one but the minute she touched it, it bounced away from her. Apparently, she had chosen a "Jumpy Ball".

The 2 teachers, Narumi and Noda, had finally arrived at where Mikan and Sumire were. Both of them were able to clear that station smoothly because of chewing gums. They made use of chewing gums to stick the balls that they have chosen onto the soles of their feet and ran for the next station.

Not long after, the other students had arrived and had successfully cleared that stage. Just then, Jinno shouted to Mikan asking what she is doing (hinting her to get going xD). Mikan was shocked. Out of shock, she had touched a ball and it turned out to be a gigantic one.

Rule: Once any balls the participant touched, there shall be no changes.

Poor Mikan-chan, she has to ride on that huge ball to the next stage. But because that ball was too huge, it was almost impossible for her to ride on it. Hence she 'rolled' her way back, reluctantly.

The other non-participants of the Red Team were cheering their voices off upon seeing that while the other students standing in the lanes watching Mikan were speechless.

After much struggle, Mikan finally handed the baton over to Jinno. She started crying to Tsubasa and was happy that her 'hell' was over.

Ruka was looking at Mikan and thought that just for once, he wishes to be the best in Mikan's eyes. Sumire finally reached Ruka to hand him the baton. She apologised to him and Ruka said,

"It's alright. I will definitely do my best,"

Natsume heard him and threw a glance at him. Ruka felt in his heart that no matter who it is, he does wish to lose.

Just then, somebody shouted,

"What is this?! It's amazingly scary!"

It was the 2nd stage for the students. Everyone who saw that were shocked for a while wondering that was.
The announcer explained that it was the "Giant Active Tiger Mountain" that participants have to go through. Without a doubt, that was the first obstacle for the participants.

It was an area made of moving plant twines. Apparently, Misaki-sensei was responsible for that xD

"Misaki-sensei... are you out to kill our students..?" said Narumi.
"Ah no.. i was told to do this on a mission but i was not told that this would be use for this competition!!" said Misaki.

Hotaru began to do some preparations to overcome that obstacle. With her special Bumble Bee Bag device, she leapt over the mountain. Her fans and supporters, including her sponsors were all awed by her inventions. Mikan was impressed too. So much so that Tsubasa told her to had better be supporting her own team.

Apparently, the announcer seemed to be a fan of Hotaru too.

"Humph, not bad,"

said someone in the dark background. It could be either Jinno or Subaru that had said that after seeing Hotaru's performance.

Consequitively, all the other participants started using their ALICEs to overcome that mountain.

Finally, all of them seemed to have arrived to the next obstacle safely. They arrived in front of something that, after some explanation, was a 'Cosplay Machine'. Anyone who enters that machine will be cosplayed randomly regardless of what the gender and age of that person whom have entered into. Ruka was relieved that he was not doing that stage.

Hotaru went into the that machine first leaving her fans, supporters and sponsors guessing and fantasizing the kind of costume they will see her in when she comes out. Even that boy from the Dangerous Class that had attacked Hotaru before was there to see how she would appear to be like later on. Many had their cameras ready hoping to capture the Hotaru in a sexy outfit.

Hotaru went in, and came out in a Codfish cosplay costume. Many were disappointed by the results nevertheless, felt that Hotaru looked cute in that costume. She hopped away to the next stage effortlessly~

After looking at the outcome of what that cosplay machine can produce, the rest of the partcipants were worried sick because they would not know what will be worn onto their body when they emerge from the machine. Even if they were in luck to come out with something decent, it would still be a disgraceful experience.

This race will continue on the 16th issue of Hana to Yume, 20 July 2007 ^0^/

Gakuen Alice Manga Chapter 81

Fri, 29 Jun 2007 15:41:52 GMT

Comments are appreciated :)

Continuing from Chapter 80, as Hotaru, Ruka and Natsume were running back to the classroom, Tsubasa ran into them. He shouted out to them asking for what reason are they in such a hurry.

Upon seeing Tsubasa, the 3 of them replied together (because what they called Tsubasa was SO cute~~~)

"Kage (Shadow)," Ruka replied, "What are you doing here?"
"Hage (Baldy)," Hotaru replied, "Long time no see,"
"Mage (Hairstyle for Samurais)," Natsume replied.

After hearing that, Tsubasa said, "Since when had the last name of calling me started to end with 'Ge' and most of them had to do with hairstyles..?"

After a quick explanation to Tsubasa as to what had happened, the 3 of them started to dash off. However, Tsubasa continued asking them if they already had a plan in minds to counter Fuukidai.

Ruka then turned to Natsume and said, "Do we have a plan?"
Natsume turned to Hotaru, "You have one right?"
Hotaru looked at the both of them for a while and said,

"I was only doing a marathon run. I had no idea the since when these 2 people had been following me. Are they stalkers? (hahaha~ calling Ruka a stalker?! xD Hotaru-sama!!!) "

The 3 boys were shocked to hear what Hotaru said for covering up that she had no plans at all. Tsubasa thought that it was a brilliant 'reason'.

The screen changes to between Mikan and Kojima.

Mikan was surprised after Kojima told her that he is the representative for the Physical Class. In other words, he is both the Student Council representative as well as the Physical Class representative.

Mikan was very taken aback and confused at the same time as to why is such person helping her so much. Kojima explained that he could not reveal much to her yet, all he could say was he was told by somebody to carry out that instruction.

Mikan wondered who that person was although on her face it was written, "Sakurano-sen.." (it should be *senpai but that word was cut off xD). From here, Kojima told her that it was not Sakurano.

Kojima further ensured Mikan that even though he was not able to tell her much, there is somebody protecting her at the back and that both he and Sakurano were just doing the same thing from their hearts. However, being different from Sakurano, Kojima is not as busy as he, thus, Kojima was the one who went to Mikan's help.

Mikan was thinking who can that person, protecting her be...

As Kojima was telling Mikan that she has no punishments and that he would do something to cover that matter, Mikan was thinking through what Kojima had said to her earlier about that there is a person protecting Mikan at the back in that same school.

She finds it unbelievable because after having Fuukidai being established, and changing the student council representative, she thought that she and her friends' life would be worse than before. She was surprised that despite all that is going on, there's somebody doing the same thing as what Sakurano is doing... Once again, she had no idea who Sakurano is... and what is that reason for behind all the acts of protecting her...

After which, Kojima used his ALICE and told Mikan that he has to leave. At the same time he added his concern to her that she be careful of members of Fuukidai because that trick cannot be used too many times, and he left.

The looks before and after how Kojima is with and without his ALICE was so much a big difference that Mikan was speechless and left another question mark in Mikan's heart as to what kind of person Kojima is.

After that, somebody reported to the school's Principal that Mikan has been saved by Kojima safely.

Back to Natsume, Ruka, Hotaru and Tsubasa.

Both Ruka and Hotaru were hiding behind a bush eavesdropping the conversation between Tsubasa and Natsume.
Ruka was not very agreed to Hotaru's actions, he said,

"Imai..."
"What?" came Hotaru.
"We're like eavesdropping other people's conversation...it's best that we..." before Ruka could end his sentence, Hotaru interuppted,
"Why?"
"Because.. it's bad towards Natsume..."said Ruka.
"Why..?"
"Why you said.." continued Ruka.

It was a flashback on what Tsubasa had told the 3 of them earlier...

"There could be a slight percentage on lightening Mikan's punishiment, right? Also, since i have a message to pass right now, i'll go ask if there's something that can be done about it," said Tsubasa.

"A message? Why is there a message?" asked Hotaru.

"Hmm~ it's not important to be bothered by it. Anyway, what do you all intend to do if even all of you were caught by Fuukidai?" said Tsubasa.

Before Tsubasa was able to finish his words, the 3 of them had already turned around and were about to leave, Tsubasa held them back by shouting,

"Wait! Wait! Yes yes yes! I have! I have! A message! A message!"

After he got their attention, he said,

"Alright? All of you must go straight back! Ok?"

Hotaru was not satisfied with that but went away together with Ruka. However, Natsume remained behind. Hotaru happened to overhear what Tsubasa told Natsume.

"Anyhow, about Mikan's case, just leave it to me and Tono. The rest of you don't try to do anything else,"

"Are you sure you're ok with that?" said Natsume.
"Hmm?"
"That's because any thoughtless action you (Natsume used, "teme" a very rude term for "you" in Japanese ^_^) made, Mikan (Kyaaa~! Natsume called her name again!! xDD) might be aware of that case isn't it? I mean the case on you being transferred over to the Dangerous Class. She is still aware of this, right?" said Natsume.

Both Hotaru and Ruka, who were behind the bush were shocked after hearing that Tsubasa is going to the Dangerous Class.

Natsume added that,

"Well, since the presence of the transferred student, she may not have noticed that though,"

Tsubasa said, "about that, i have already spoken to the other people of the Special class to cover that matter up. Anyhow, even though it was said that i have been shifted to the Dangerous Class, i am still held back by the Special class so there is nothing to worry about.

If Mikan were to learn about this, she would put all the blame to herself without a doubt. After hearing about the current situation that Mikan is right now from you guys, i have no intentions of depressing Mikan further.

Also, if the case that we are working on right now is known, we would not be able to face her right?"

Natsume asked if Tsubasa's team had managed to captured, Azumi Yuka, Mikan's mother.

Tsubasa replied," That the report given for this time was fake again. To begin with,i have to pray that she would be able to escape from our hands.

Since she's Mikan's mother, it is no wonder that Mikan will be targeted by the school."

"Let me know if she is caught," said Natsume.

Tsubasa told him that he knows to do that and he went on asking if anything changes have occurred around Hotaru-chan and Ruka-pyon. Natsume replied that for the time being, yes.

Tsubasa replied, "I see.. looks like i cannot be rest assured yet," and he said that he had better get going and told Natsume to go back soon too.

Hotaru was trying to absorb what she has just overheard. The woman with the stealing ALICE and all that had happened relating to her. Hotaru was worried for Mikan.

In the meantime, Mikan had finally returned to where everyone is.Mikan was excited to see everyone that she ran towards them. However, someone called her from behind,

"What do you think you're doing being so friendly with your enemies?"

Mikan was grabbed backwards by someone,

"During the little while that we hadn't met, did you grow a bit bigger, Mikan?"

"Tsubasa-senpai..."

"What position are you to be saying that?" said Misaki.

"Hey, Tsubasa! Now what did you think you're doing? Sexual harrassment? Switch places with me!" said Tono from behind.

"Tono-senpai, Misaki-senpai, Megane-senpai," said Mikan.

Mikan then cried and hugged Tsubasa.

"Tsubasa-senpai you idiot!!! I've looked everywhere! Even i went to the Special Class classroom, anywhere, Tsubasa is not around! I really lonely! Be it The Sports Festival, training, even listening to stories that i wanted to, I have always thought of Tsubasa-senpai! Even so, Tsubasa-senpai left without any notice! I felt so insecure that i thought you have already forgotten about us!"

After listening to that, Tsubasa apologised, "Sorry. I see.. i have let you felt insecure, Mikan. It was your first Sports Festival yet i was not able to be by your side teaching you, not being able to train with the rest for it, indeed, the fun for this event had dropped about half. Sorry Mikan! But! It's going to be alright! As long as all that i am doing has come to an end, it will be fine! So! It's the Sports Festival today! Let's warm things up, have loadsa fun that all the sadness you have be gone at just one blow!"

"U..um!" said Mikan.

Meanwhile, a rumour about Mikan had just been spreading around (very likely to be started by Luna... =.=")

"Hey, have you heard? That rumour about Mikan-chan,"
"Aa, you mean the one on her being caught by Fuukidai and got released so soon?"
"It was said that she did some sexual tricks to the members of Fuukidai!"

Ruka overheard that sentence.

"I heard that she showed her panties to them so that she could be spared of the punishment!"

Iinchou over that sentence and was shocked.

Not knowing anything, Mikan was happily skipping around because since she had finally seen Tsubasa. Even though she was very affected by the rumours going on about her these days. Just then she was reminded of that case. She felt Luna looking at her from behind and somehow, she had managed to figure out why did that happen.

She took a little glance at Natsume and remembered what Luna had said to her before,

"To [keep quiet] and to [not attract attention]..."

Just then, someone shouted to her.

"Oi!"

Mikan was shocked, she turned around only to see Natsume. She replied,

"NaNa NaNa..Natsume?!"

"7.7(Nana in Japanese means 7 ^_^) Natsume?" said Natsume, "I heard that you showed your panties to some stranger boy. Is that true?"

Iinchou, Ruka and Hotaru heard what Natsume had said, Hotaru went, "how can that be?" while Natsume, feeling irritated and impatient, asked Mikan again,

"I am asking you if that is true! Come on! Quick! Answer me!"

Mikan was angry thinking that Natsume had actually believed that rubbish. She was about to reply "how can it be?!" she felt that Luna's vision falling onto her, she said against heart,

"It... It's none of your concerns!"
"What are you hiding about?" said Natsume, "you've changed."
"Heh?" said Mikan.
"What happened between you and her (Luna) before? Answer me!" continued Natsume.
"Na.." began Mikan.

Just then she was reminded of what Luna had told her,

"If you wish that you and the people are around you getting hurt can get lesser..."

Mikan continued, " You're Luna's partner right? You're... no longer my partner or anything, so, stop bothering me!"

There was a short silence after Mikan said that.

"Is it a trouble to you even if i am worried for you?" added Natsume. (YOU GO BOY!!! NATSUME!!! ≧▽≦ *melts*)

Mikan was surprised at that reply because she had told Natsume not to go away from her when choosing teams for the Sports Festival, Natsume chose to go to the White Team despite Mikan had told him that she wishes him to go over to her team.

Mikan replied, "Yes, it is!"

End of Chapter 81

PS: Many thanks to everyone that has commented on my previous entry!!
I am really happy to know that i am needed ^__^~

The time now is 11.41pm right now on the clock, i will try to do up chapter 82 and have it up by tonight. If not, do check back tomorrow night ^__^

Short Hiatus

Mon, 25 Jun 2007 12:47:02 GMT

First of all, i would like to apologise for being so unproductive and perhaps some of you have lost your trust in me already... Indeed, i have come across thoughts of stopping the summaries because the first person whom started this was not me. I started doing the summaries for various chapters because i saw that only scans were provided and there were no summaries for them and the original translator, choco_vanila, seemed to be on a long rest... Now that since choco_vanila has returned, i thought i would no longer be needed.

I feel really honored that i am still needed ^__^~
Thank you all so much.. but then.. because i am rather stressed up with school projects i am not able to do up the summaries as quickly as i could before. So here, i shall give all of you that is reading this my word that by the end of this week, i would put up summary chapters 81 & 82.

So do check back by the end of this week for the above 2 chapters ^__^
I apologise again that there will be no scans for chapter 82 ^__^

Also, the release date for chapter 83 will be on the 20 July 2007, i may not have the time to do up the summary for it once again because project deadlines are very near the corner by then, so i am afraid that you might have to wait again... Gomennasai m(_ _)m

PS: If, i have time over the holidays (which will only happen sometime in August), i may put up summaries for past chapters. If that happens, i would start rolling back from chapter 69 backwards ^__^
