What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? Really, what do I do? I…I… He kissed me, Yuu kissed me.
Marmalade Boy SIDE EFFECTS OF A KISS I don't know what he’s thinking.
Why in the world would he do something like that? Oh, no, what am I gonna do? How am I supposed to act when I see him. I didn’t have to see him last night, because I decided to skip dinner and just stay in my room. I hope, well I just hope he thought I was asleep. I’ll just ignore the whole thing and pretend it never happened. Good morning. Oh, good morning ,where is everybody? Gone to work a long time ago. Oh, that’s right, guess it’s late. Yeah, it’s a good thing that our school is really close by, you know? What? Oh, nothing, I was just… I think maybe you should hurry up and eat before your toast gets too cold. Yuu, could you pass me the jam, I like the apricot . This is the only one we have. Oh, marmalade huh? I don’t like it much. Don’t be so picky. It looks sweet, but rind inside makes it kind of bitter, you know? What’s wrong? Yuu, you’re just like this marmalade here. Oh. Huh? It’s true. You two are alike. There’s a part of you that’s really bitter, but people don’t notice it because of the superficial sweetness . You’re a marmalade boy, it really suits you, see? Is that so? That was a brilliant analogy . Hey, Miki, this is you. Hot and spicy, you’re just a spicy hot mustard girl. What? Hot? Spicy hot? A mustard girl? Mustard girl? Yuu! I’m thinking it’s a good time to go. Hey! Yuu, come back here. What about all the dishes, huh? I can’t believe him, acting so cool and calm as always. I’m the only one who’s all flustered by this. It’s just not fair. Hey, Chigusa, did you hear the news? Those two actually kissed each other yesterday. I heard, I heard! You’re talking about A-kun and Mio Hagiwara, right? Yeah, it’s all so shocking. They’re talking about a TV show. I understand now. Does it bother you? You know, Matsuura and Miki. Look, that doesn’t bother me at all, okay? It really doesn’t, you know. I think that what happened yesterday must’ve been some kind of a mistake. I’ll just forget it. Hey, everyone. We’re at the broadcast club present the “the lunch time news”. Today we welcome a guest who is, shall we say, super popular with the ladies. Amazing , you think that powerful appetite of yours might have something to do with the whole Matsuura thing? I’ve decided that the mature thing to do is to forget all about it, and I’d appreciate it if you would too. Did you really? For some reason, I’m getting more and more upset about the whole thing. I just don’t get it, how could he stay so cool about it all the time. It was my very first kiss. It was important. We got a great show for you today. I’m gonna take some time and dig into the mini last of our special guest , who I know you are all dying to meet. Don’t miss it ladies . Boy, I don’t even wanna see his face right now. Now it’s time to introduce, from class 2-b, Yuu Matsuura. Hi, everybody, I’m Yuu-. Wow, you got to admit it, Miki, he really looks great on TV. This is got to be some kind of cruel joke. What in the world could Yuu be thinking? Say, can I ask you a question ? Yes. We hear that there is a female student you come to school with everyday. And, here is the incriminating evidence. You mean Miki? Right! Miki Koishikawa, who’s in class 2-b along with yourself. Give it to us straight, what’s the relationship between you two? Oh, Miki and I live in the same house. No, wait a second . I think I need to explain a couple of things. what he really meant to say was that, our houses are in the same area, you see, so the main reason we come to school together, is because Yuu’s parents and my parents are really good friends , for some strange reason, Yuu had to transfer to this school and he asked me to help him out till he gets settled. Hey, wait a second, I don’t remember ever asking you any such thing. Please, Yuu, there’s no way I’m gonna say that our parents, who are technically total strangers according to the registration papers, are living together . But why? Why? Because it’s obvious to everyone but you that this is abnormal . As you were saying, all of your family members are very good friends, so I assume that you mean the relationship between you two is close intimates . Don’t twist my words around. Now I think the broadcast club is getting carried away. ….on purpose… innocent photos and use them like this, this is absolutely despicable Calm down, Miss Koishikawa. Check out the look on the host’s face. This is stupid. I don’t know what Yuu was thinking when he agreed to do that show. Well, I guess you’re an instant celebrity now. Yeah, well I’m too embarrassed, even walk around school . It’s all Yuu’s fault I feel like this. I suppose that guy is decent looking, and pretty good at sports. Oh, Ginta. I’ll be upset if he’s also a brain who always gets good grades. His grades can’t be bad, that’s for sure, the entrance exam for transfer students is pretty tough. Ginta, come on. So by the looks of it, a guy like Yuu isn’t really accepted well by the other boys in the school. No, guys, I really don’t think that’s the case at all. It’s just Ginta, he’s jealous. That’s right, Ginta is worried that Miki might be swept right off her feet. Come on, you guys all know that can’t really be true, I was turned down by Ginta a long, long time ago okay? I’m so sorry, Miki, I didn’t know. How come you never told us about it? Hey, it’s alright, really. It happened ages ago, it doesn’t bother me at all anymore, I’m officially over it. We’re sorry, it must’ve been hard. Ginta’s jealous ? He can’t be. Ginta’s worried that Miki might be swept right off her feet. Now that I think about it, two years ago, I was totally attracted to Ginta. I would stare at him all day long at school. Latter, when I get home, I would remember every word and every conversation I had with him that day. I don't get it, what is it that you like so much about Ginta? Well, for example , he’s short-tempered and gets easily excited . He gets flattered easily and he’s a patsy… and… I thought those were all shortcomings. No, not necessarily. I like everything about him. Why don’t you confess your love to him? What? I’m not confident enough. Wow, what’s this? It’s a pin from Wimbledon. One of the souvenirs my cousin brought back with him from London . Thanks. So, are you sure? Just don’t tell anyone, I don’t have any more left. You got the last. Okay, thank you. See you later. I wondered if I could expect a little more from him? To find out, I had to gather all my courage to write him, but then. Check it out, it’s from Miki. It says, “I've always liked you, Ginta, ever since 7th grade.” What are you gonna do, Ginta? I mean you’re not seriously thinking about hooking up with this girl, aren’t you? No, no way. Miki and I get along, and we talk a lot, it’s just like having an another guy friend. You know, it’s nothing like love or anything happy like that. Miki. I’m sorry, oh, Miki. Miki, don’t. If all we are is “just friends ”, there’s nothing I can do about it. But he didn’t , he didn’t have to show my letter to everyone and make fun of me like he did. Oh, Ginta, you jerk. The next day, for whatever reason, Ginta shows up with a short haircut. I don’t really know for sure, but I guess it might have been his way of apologizing to me. Good old memories . It’s been such a long time. After that, I couldn’t bring myself to talk to him, but finally, our friendship is almost back to where it was. That’s why there’s just no way Ginta could be jealous for me . You can’t be, Ginta, right? Miki, hey, it’s me. What, what was that all about? Jeez, I think my brain is overloading. Miki, dear? Huh? Do you wanna come downstairs ? We’re cutting into some cake that looks delicious . Oh, were you studying? Yeah. My homework . But I don’t think I understand a single bit of it. Well, if it’s math, Youji is good at it. Why don’t you ask him to help you with it while we’re having dessert? Yeah, okay. Come on, let’s go, Rumi and Jin are already waiting downstairs . Sure. Yeah, there, right there, move to the right, move to the right. I can’t believe this stupid thing. You’re dangerous you know that? And this, here, is how you get the answers, see? Oh, I get it. Way to go, Youji, thanks. Hey, Youji, you’re really good at teaching. It was easy to understand . Really? Miki, is that today’s homework ? Yup. Lucky me, let me copy it later, huh? No way. Stingy. Just bring your homework over here and we’ll do it together . Hey, wait! You’re gonna coach me a little while longer, Yuu. Come on, give it up already, you just don’t have a knack for it. Yeah, that may be true. I guess dad’s not very good at it all when it comes to shooting thing. Wait a minute, what am I doing? Something wrong? No, thank you very much Youji, I’m fine now, really . I’m gonna do the rest by myself . Miki dear, would you like another cup of tea? No, no thank you, thanks for the snake . This is not good. Without noticing, I’ve began to… I promised myself I wouldn’t be affected by all this but I was too busy thinking about Yuu and Ginta, and I let my guard down. I think I’m becoming used to this abnormal family . This is not good at all. I swore I would draw the line, but it’s so hard. I’ll see you later. You are leaving so early ? Yeah, there’s something I have to take care of. I see. Hey, you’re coming home early right? What do you want for dinner? I feel like showing up my cooking skills. Look, don’t push too hard, okay? I know you’re busy and you’re not good at cook. Just make whatever . Okay, I’ll see you later. One two three four. One two three four. One two three four… Miki, you were putting so much energy into practice today. I was, really? Yes, and when you served , it was really fast and strong and sharp, I swear you were just like Williams or Sabatini out there. You might be exaggerating a little. Then again. What? I’ve been worrying about all kinds of stuff, so I played really hard to get it out of my system . Oh. Miki. Yuu. Sorry to bother you like this, but could you come with me ? I need to go shopping. What? Please? I’m sorry, Yuu, but I happen to be with my friends right now. Oh come on, come with me . Wh-what are you doing, let go. A birthday present? Yeah, today is your mom’s birthday, right? Oh, no, I totally forgot. That’s why this morning. I feel like showing up my cooking skills. Oh, mom. I wanted you here, because I don’t know much about jewelry . So could you help me out? Sure. Look, Miki, I really do understand how you feel, but… What? Since it looks like we are gonna be living together for the time being, I thought we should at least celebrate her birthday, agreed? Sure. Yuu. At that moment, Yuu’s existent became a little more prominent to my life. At least that’s what it felt like. Mama looked so happy as she unwrapped all her presents. Oh, this belongs to Yuu. It must have gotten mixed up with my stuff during the moving mass. Who is she?
A perfect day for a date with Yuu at an amusement park. And then this Arimi girl shows up. What in the world were you to him? What are you to him now? And now that I’m having all these feelings for Yuu. That’s when Ginta decides to…
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
Really, what do I do?
I…I…
He kissed me, Yuu kissed me.

SIDE EFFECTS OF A KISS
I don't know what he’s thinking.
Why in the world would he do something like that?
Oh, no, what am I gonna do?
How am I supposed to act when I see him.
I didn’t have to see him last night, because I decided to skip dinner and just stay in my room.
I hope, well I just hope he thought I was asleep.
I’ll just ignore the whole thing and pretend it never happened.
Good morning.
Oh, good morning ,where is everybody?
Gone to work a long time ago.
Oh, that’s right, guess it’s late.
Yeah, it’s a good thing that our school is really close by, you know?
What?
Oh, nothing, I was just…
I think maybe you should hurry up and eat before your toast gets too cold.
Yuu, could you pass me the jam, I like the apricot .
This is the only one we have.
Oh, marmalade huh?
I don’t like it much.
Don’t be so picky.
It looks sweet, but rind inside makes it kind of bitter, you know?
What’s wrong?
Yuu, you’re just like this marmalade here.
Oh. Huh?
It’s true. You two are alike. There’s a part of you that’s really bitter, but people don’t notice it because of the superficial sweetness .
You’re a marmalade boy, it really suits you, see?
Is that so?
That was a brilliant analogy .
Hey, Miki, this is you.
Hot and spicy, you’re just a spicy hot mustard girl.
What? Hot? Spicy hot?
A mustard girl? Mustard girl?
Yuu!
I’m thinking it’s a good time to go.
Hey!
Yuu, come back here.
What about all the dishes, huh?
I can’t believe him, acting so cool and calm as always.
I’m the only one who’s all flustered by this.
It’s just not fair.
Hey, Chigusa, did you hear the news?
Those two actually kissed each other yesterday.
I heard, I heard! You’re talking about A-kun and Mio Hagiwara, right?
Yeah, it’s all so shocking.
They’re talking about a TV show.
I understand now.
Does it bother you?
You know, Matsuura and Miki.
Look, that doesn’t bother me at all, okay?
It really doesn’t, you know.
I think that what happened yesterday must’ve been some kind of a mistake.
I’ll just forget it.
Hey, everyone.
We’re at the broadcast club present the “the lunch time news”.
Today we welcome a guest who is, shall we say, super popular with the ladies.
Amazing , you think that powerful appetite of yours might have something to do with the whole Matsuura thing?
I’ve decided that the mature thing to do is to forget all about it, and I’d appreciate it if you would too.
Did you really?
For some reason, I’m getting more and more upset about the whole thing.
I just don’t get it, how could he stay so cool about it all the time.
It was my very first kiss.
It was important.

But I don’t think I understand a single bit of it.
Well, if it’s math, Youji is good at it.
Why don’t you ask him to help you with it while we’re having dessert?
Yeah, okay.
Come on, let’s go, Rumi and Jin are already waiting downstairs .
Sure.
Yeah, there, right there, move to the right, move to the right.
I can’t believe this stupid thing.
You’re dangerous you know that?
And this, here, is how you get the answers, see?
Oh, I get it.
Way to go, Youji, thanks.
Hey, Youji, you’re really good at teaching.
It was easy to understand .
Really?
Miki, is that today’s homework ?
Yup.
Lucky me, let me copy it later, huh?
No way.
Stingy.
Just bring your homework over here and we’ll do it together .
Hey, wait! You’re gonna coach me a little while longer, Yuu.

Yeah, that may be true.
I guess dad’s not very good at it all when it comes to shooting thing.

No, thank you very much Youji, I’m fine now, really .
I’m gonna do the rest by myself .

No, no thank you, thanks for the snake .
This is not good.

Miki, you were putting so much energy into practice today.
I was, really?
Yes, and when you served , it was really fast and strong and sharp, I swear you were just like Williams or Sabatini out there.
You might be exaggerating a little.
Then again.
What?
I’ve been worrying about all kinds of stuff, so I played really hard to get it out of my system .
Oh.
Miki.
Yuu.
Sorry to bother you like this, but could you come with me ?
I need to go shopping.
What?
Please?
I’m sorry, Yuu, but I happen to be with my friends right now.
Oh come on, come with me .
Wh-what are you doing, let go.
A birthday present?
Yeah, today is your mom’s birthday, right?
Oh, no, I totally forgot.
That’s why this morning.
I feel like showing up my cooking skills.
Oh, mom.
I wanted you here, because I don’t know much about jewelry .
So could you help me out?
Sure.
Look, Miki, I really do understand how you feel, but…
What?
Since it looks like we are gonna be living together for the time being, I thought we should at least celebrate her birthday, agreed?
Sure.
Yuu.
At that moment, Yuu’s existent became a little more prominent to my life.
At least that’s what it felt like.
Mama looked so happy as she unwrapped all her presents.
Oh, this belongs to Yuu.
It must have gotten mixed up with my stuff during the moving mass.
Who is she?
A perfect day for a date with Yuu at an amusement park.
And then this Arimi girl shows up.
What in the world were you to him?
What are you to him now?
And now that I’m having all these feelings for Yuu.
That’s when Ginta decides to…
