I just don’t get it.
How did Satoshi and Yuu get to be that way?
What will happen if this keeps going on?
Yuu.
Satoshi.
I will not let that happen.

TRIP TO KARUIZAWA
JUST AS I THOUGHT – STRANGE!

So, I guess you’re heading off to work,right, Yuu?
See you
So Yuu’s been working almost every day since summer break started.
Yeah, he comes home late, too.
So I haven’t even talked with him for a while.
So are you bored?
Yeah, I’m really bored.
You are so funny.
Wait, what are you talking about?
I asked you the same question once before and that time you denied it completely.
This time you’re being honest.
You are right, I am
And you’re worried about Satoshi and Yuu, aren’t you?
Yeah.
And it seems like the less time we spend together, the more suspicious I get, it’s really hard.
Well. Then why don't we just go and see him right now.
You mean go to Yuu’s job?
But.
Listen, didn’t you tell me just the other day that you needed to get a summer dress? They have really nice ones there, don’t they?
Well. I guess it’s okay if we peek in, I mean we’re gonna be customers.
Yeah, let’s get going.
Hello.
Hi.
Hey.
I haven’t seen you two around here in a while.
Why is Satoshi here too?
Hey.
Hey.
Did you come here to buy something?
Well, I don't know yet, but what is Satoshi doing here?
What? Did he start working here too?
No, he just came here to visit.
To visit?
Why don't you talk a look around the place.
We have a new of summer clothes in.
That’s perfect, ‘cause Miki’s looking for a new dress.
So, Yuu, why don’t you help her out?
Okay, what kind of dress are you looking for?
Well, I suppose I do need something new for the summer.
All right, leave it to me.
Well, how about this blue one?
This one’s pretty hot too.
I think this one goes great with your eyes.
And this one will just be a great color on you.
So what do you think? Maybe we should have some fun too?
I have a suggestion, why don't you just leave me alone?
After all, I’m the girl who was with Mr. Namura you know.
You know Meiko, I really don't pay much attention to that kind of stuff.
And of course she knows what they say, a woman grows with each broken heart.
So do you want to go on a date with me?
No way.
You sure?
Oh. I’m sure, but what different would it make, I mean are you even interested in women
That’s funny, I’m talking to you right now, aren’t I?
That’s not what I mean.
Don't tell me you believe that stupid rumor about me and Matsuura
You gotta be kidding, Meiko you know that’s not true.
Well you certainly hinted otherwise to Miki, didn't you?
You know there’s no way that you can come between us, Miki
Our relation is too solid,
What in the world are you talking about, Satoshi?
How can you possibly have a solid relationship with another man?
Oh, yeah, that. I was just messing with it, that’s all.
You two seem way too close to be just friends, if you know what I mean.
It just doesn’t matter, not anymore, but there is one thing
when should we go out on a date, I’m wide open all next week.
What you schedule like, huh?
What an idiot.
Hey, did you have it on?
Just a second, there are a lot of buttons
You need some help?
Idiot
I should ask him now.
Hey, Yuu. I need to ask you something, are you and Satoshi really just friends?
Look, I’ve already told you.
We’re just good friends, that’s all.
But you don't make friends.
At least that’s what A told me.
Is Satoshi an exception?
I mean it’s okay, but, why.
I just don't get it.
He’s just different, that’s all.
What makes Satoshi different?
Yuu? Yuu!
Wow. It suits you, I mean really. It makes you look totally cute.
Really?
Seriously, and I’m not just saying that to tease you either.
Right?
Yeah.
You look so cute in it, Miki
Yeah, you really look great.
Well, if you really mean it, then I guess I’ll have to buy it.
Thank you very much.
See you.
Come again.
I don't believe it, Yuu never answered my question when I was asking him about Satoshi
I don't think their relationship is solely based on compatibility.
But I don't think it’s based on love, either, unfortunately.
I wouldn’t worry about it, it’s probably nothing.
I think that it’s more like they just share common interest and that’s all there is.
Well, I guess so.
She’s probably right.
As long as there’s nothing more than that between them, I’m happy
I totally forgot to pack it,
But where is it?
What’s going on with those two?
Who knows?
Have you two got everything you need all packed up for the trip?
What trip?
Don't you remember? we’re going this weekend.
It’s summer vacation, so we thought we’d all go on a family trip together
Wait, didn’t you know?
You didn’t tell us?
What? We didn't?
Jin, didn’t I ask you to tell the kids.
Not me, it was Youji
No, it was Rumi
Oh, man, it’s always like this,
Stop it, it doesn’t matter who didn't tell us,
We’re sorry.
You two can still come along on the trip can’t you?
I don't think I’ll be able to get out of work.
Why don't you guys go anyway, I’ll just stay here at home.
What? But it won’t be as much fun if you’re not with us.
Can’t you ask your boss for the day-off?
We’re going to Karuizawa
The weather’s supposed to be gorgeous
Huh? Really? Karuizawa
Let me see what I can do.
That’s the spirit.
Yuu.
Hey, Satoshi. It’s me.
Wow, what a cute hotel.
Let me carry that for you.
Why, thank you.
So sorry about that.
You did that on purpose.
I’m sorry, Miki.
That’s just how Yuu shows his love.
But, wait, Chiyako, I just don't get it, he’s so nice and considerate to you and to everybody else.
I’ll bet he never even caused trouble
You got that one all wrong, when he was in 6th grade, he locked himself in his room for about a month, and he wouldn’t talk to us or look at us, we were so worried, it was so sudden that we didn’t know what to do.
So what’d you do?
Luckily he resolved it all on his own.
I didn’t know.
I can’t even imagine it, all right, the camera.
Yuu, look over here.
Hey guys, look at the camera.
I guess I still really don't know a lot about him.
Okay, let’s play in three teams.
Mixes doubles and we’ll play a one-set-match tournament.
And the losing team is responsible for clean-up duty.
We certainly don't mind those rules, but are you gonna be okay with that?
Sure all, you don't have to worry about us, we were in the tennis club together in college.
We haven’t played in quite a long time, though.
I didn’t know you were in the college tennis club.
How much you want to bet that the college tennis club turned in to the college ski club at the very first hint of snow.
Yuu. Come on, shut up.
Here comes my first serve.
A slice serve.
Should I kill it? Or should I be nice?
What was with the weird spin on that serve? Is it even legal?
Miki, calm down.
We can’t go easy on these guys just because they’re old, they don't have power, but they have technique.
They’ll place the ball all over the corner, with weird spin and any other trick they can come up with.
They’re extremely tough opponents.
We’ll tire them out, and we won’t show them any mercy.
I’m exhausted.
I can’t move.
And the big losers of today’s tournament are Jin and Chiyako
Well, I worked up a good sweat.
I need a shower.
Cold beer sounds good about now.
Yeah.
Hey. Wait a second, the losers are supposed to clean everything up.
No way, you wore us out.
Will you do it for us please?
The air feels great, here.
Sure does, doesn’t?
You bet.
Well, I guess we should see that coming
It was fun though it certainly was a different kind of tennis.
Different from our usual tough club tennis anyway.
A family trip can be fun sometimes.
I never liked them before.
Why not?
I didn’t want to walk around with my parents dressed in tourist clothes, they looked like a total mafia couple
I see what you mean.
But now I’m here with Yuu.
I really wouldn’t even mind spending more than one night here.
This is paradise.
The bath was fantastic
And that dinner was delicious.
This is the best.
I think I’ll dress up a little.
Has anybody seen Y?
Isn’t he next door?
No, I didn’t see him, I was just over there.
Don’t worry, I can go and look for him.
Ah. There he is.
Hi
What?
What’s this about?
What in the world is Satoshi doing here?
Something’s definitely strange about those two after all.
Where are they going?
It’s just a cat.
Oh, no. It looks like I’ve lost them
I guess I have no choice. Better head back.
I don't remember which way I came from.
No. Am I lost
What am I supposed to do now?
What should I do in this situation, I don't remember, my minds are blank.
Hello, Miss. What are you doing? Are you alone?
Why don't you join us for a little drink?
No. Creepy drunks.
No, but thank you anyway.
Come on, why don't you have a drink with us?
No, I said no.
Don't be that way, where are you going?
No! Help. Yuu.
Let go off me. No, leave me alone.
Stop. No.
What do you think you’re doing with my daughter?
We gotta go.
Oh, dad.
It’s okay, it’s all over now.
You were gone for a long time, so we came looking for you.
And it’s a good thing we came outside when we did.
Where was Yuu during all this anyway?
Forget him.
We’re on a trip together, so why does he have to go out with Satoshi
You’re an idiot, Yuu
So, what do you think?
It’s amazing.
Oh, man, I never imagined it would be this extravagant.
Yeah. Exactly the point, I guess that’s the reason we stand out so much.
It really is nice.
Yoshimitsu Miwa, a truly talented designer.
Looks just like I thought it would
Come on in, take a look inside.
I’m all alone tonight.
No, thanks,
I should get back, or my family will worry about me.
I wanted to take advantage of the time and see this while we were here, listen, I really appreciate that you show it to me, I hope it wasn’t too much trouble.
Well, I’m glad you got to see it, don't worry about it, it’s no big deal, I come here all the time anyway.
With girls, I bet?
Occasionally
You meant always.
Not at all lately, no girls I want to bring here right now.
Actually, now that I think about it, there is someone I want to bring up here.
Really? Who?
Meiko Akizuki
She’s a tough one, good Luck.
I do love challenge.
Hey, guys,
There you are,
And just where have you been all this time, Yuu
Sorry, I guess I just
You had us worried.
And poor Miki
Miki.
Huh?
Listen, I hear you went looking for me and bumped into some creeps instead.
Are you okay?
Luckily, our parents showed up and scared them off.
I’m sorry.
But I just had a little errand I had to run.
You mean meeting Satoshi is your errand?
You met in the lobby and then you went outside together.
You saw us?
Is it really necessary for you to have to go out and meet him while we’re on a family trip?
And to sneak out without telling anyone, it’s very strange, Yuu.
Ever since you got close to Satoshi, you seem to have much more to hide.
You gotta tell me, are you guys…
Miki. Don't you dare tell anyone what you saw.
About meeting with Satoshi, I mean.
I won’t tell,
Oh. Sorry, I didn’t mean to.
Please forgive me for grabbing you. Sorry.
Don't you dare tell anyone
My arm’s still burning where he grabbed it,
Yuu. What is going on?

The situation between Yuu and Satoshi was still unclear when the two invited me and Meiko to go to the movies with them.
It was a crazy day for all of us.
Meiko and Satoshi weren’t getting along at all, they just argued.
And as for Yuu and I
I suddenly realized that I knew nothing about him

Marmalade Boy
DOUBLE DATE
I LIKE YOU, BUT WE DON’T UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER!
