Well, I’m afraid we gotta run. You know, hey, wait. Wait hey, hey, I, uh… What’s Arimi up to? I don’t get it, she’s all fixed on Yuu, and then it’s Ginta, just like that? And he, he just followed her all dumbfounded . Who am I supposed to believe ? well at least the school trip starts tomorrow, it’s supposed to be fun. I’m just not in the mood.
Marmalade Boy HOKKAIDO WITH LOVE WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THOSE TWO?
Miki, we gotta go. Hey, wait. Ah, Hokkaido, that sounds like a great trip. Three nights too, you’ll love it. Sapporo, Otaru and Hakodate. Yeah right, but what I like about Hokkaido is the food ,it’s a great to eat. Oh, yeah, Yuu, try to get us some crabs, they’re hairy. Yeah. Or bring us some sweets from Rokkatei And don't forget the ramen, it’s the best. Fine, I’ll leave without you. No, don't , I’m coming with you. Oh, yeah, How great, this is gonna be my very first trip to Hokkaido. Yeah, I know, and even though I’ve been to Sapporo a couple of times, I’ve never been to Hakodate. I’m so glad they put us in the same group ,Meiko. But that’s gonna mean that you won’t get a chance to be with Yuu or Ginta Yeah, but I kind of like that. I think being in a group with both of them , would be just a little too awkward . Okay, class, time to line up. Okay. Yeah, we made it, we’re in Hokkaido, this is so cool. Okay, guys, put your stuff in your rooms, we’ll meet up in front of the hotel . Okay. So, where shall we start? Let’s go out to the Goryokaku tower. Let’s do a streetcar first. A school trip , such a special occasion, I shouldn't spoil it by being depressed. I’ll just put it all out of my mind, and have a good time. Whoa! So Goryaku really is star-shaped after all. That’s so cool. Hey, look, it’s a souvenir shop. Wow, Toshizo, Hijikata stuff. It’s commemorating of rebellion , they’ve got all kinds of stuff. Oh. Look, buttons, they’ve got my T-shirts too. Look, Meiko, see? Oh, no, did they all go back down already ? I can’t believe they left me up there. Is this a joke? They’re gone. What am I gonna do? No, no, stay calm, that’s it, whatever you do, don’t panic, there’s no reason to panic. I know where they’re going next, I can always catch up with them, there’s nothing to worry about. Well. This is it. Where did they all go? Hey. Hi Miki. Yuu. Have you spotted any of my group around here? No, I’m pretty sure they’re not around here. What? Okay, what’s going on? Those guys should be here already . Did I somehow get ahead of them, is that what happened? Oh, wait, I guess they must have taken a streetcar. What? So you can’t find the rest of your group now? Yeah, I guess you could say that. Alright, then why don’t you come along with our group. Sightseeing’s boring when you’re all by yourself . What? Miki. Is something the matter ? Yeah, I guess she got separated from her group. Really? I’m not sure this is such a good idea. Yeah, I think I’m just gonna look around for a little bit more. Miki. Hi, Ginta. Arimi? Oh, Arimi, hi, yeah. What are you doing here? We’re here on our school trip too, isn’t that great? What a coincidence ,huh? But I never dreamed I’d be so lucky to find you right here in the Middle of Hakodate. Maybe it’s a sign that we’re meant for each other, you know, like some kind of destiny or something. Geeze, is she for real or what? Oh, Yuu. And Miki. Oh. Were you here all alone? That’s weird, I never even noticed. Yeah, we saw. Miki, I think we’re sort of in-the-way here. What? No, hey, wait, I… No. Hey, guys, wait up. Hey, hold on, don't run away so fast. Besides , it’s our chance, come on, Ginta, don't you want to go somewhere together , just the two of us, wouldn’t that be wonderful ? That wasn’t really… Come on, we can stop for a cup of tea, it’d be fun. Geeze, Arimi, knock it off, will you. This is crazy . Sorry for butting in, but let him go. All you’re doing is embarrassing him. What? How come? Why don't you leave us alone. Oh, I get it, this is because you still like Ginta, right? You, why’d you say that? Well, am I right? Wait, if Arimi is here on a school trip that’s gonna mean that that guy’s also… Ginta, get your hands off her, you bastard . Hey, Rokutanda. You actually did it. Yeah, I gotta say , that’s nice hair-cut you got there, you look pretty good. Yes, he does. I’m sure the girls still like you, and you’re getting more popular everyday now. But yet, in spite of what you think, it’s not over, I wanna rematch. No, I’m done. I won’t let you do that. Come on, will you? Let’s go. And Ginta, that goes for you too, He got away. Arimi, Ginta. Where’d you guys go? Oh, my. Ginta with Arimi again. Miki. Meiko. Hey. So you were here after all, we were waiting for you for the longest time down at the first floor in the museum. Oh, I get it now. Whoa, Look at that. You are saying, Ginta left with her? Yeah, and it didn’t seem like he minded having Arimi hanging all over him as far as I could tell. I knew then there was just no way I could give him up, I still really, really like him, what about you? That guy, I don't ever want him to take you away, okay? I never want him to steal your heart, Miki. I just can’t believe it. What a couple of sneaky rats. You know, it sounds to me like you’re jealous of them. No, you’re wrong, they’re just being faker, that’s what really makes me mad. Is that all? Is that all? Of course , it’s gotta be. Well, that was a pretty good escape. Yeah, I guess so. So, have you taken the gondola right? No, not yet. They say the view at night’s gorgeous . I guess it would be. Geeze, Ginta, come on, stop with all the politeness stuff, It’s not like we are in school now, we’re in the same grade, can’t you just talk to me normally ? Oh. It’s just that I, sorry about that, I didn't mean. All right then, whatever . She just always seems so totally confident . But I can’t let it get to me. I’ve gotta tell her today, and I’ve gotta be absolutely clear about it. Okay, now , look , I think you already know this, but, there’s somebody I really like, so I really just , well, I just can’t be going out with you, that’s all. Hey, hold on, don't be so fool of yourself , the only one I care about is Matsuura. Then, why are you? Did you see how Miki looked like back there? Sorry for butting in, but let him go. All you’re doing is embarrassing him. Well, she did seem kind of worked up, she was upset alright. That’s it, that’s it, don't you see, Miki was getting all jealous of me. And that has to mean she’s at least somewhat attracted to you to act like that, it’s the only reason she’d be angry, if she didn't care about you, then seeing you with another girl wouldn’t matter her. I’m not so sure. It’s true, I’d say it’s pretty clear. The way I see it, Miki is attracted to Matsuura now, but don't forget you were the one she liked first after all. So she must still have some feelings for you. And since she does, if another girl starts to get close to you, it’s gonna make her anxious and that’s gonna make her stop and think twice about it. That’s just so it is. It’s like when there’s something you used to care about, and just when you’re ready to get rid of it, you change your mind. You could choose a better analogy if you don't mind. So all you have to do is just pretend you’re getting a little closer to me. Well, so give it a try? So if we were to pretend to go steady, you really think something like that would work? Well, you never know, but I definitely think it’s worth a try. Yeah, she’s right, and I can’t just wait either, he lives with her, if I don’t do anything, he’s definitely get the advantage . And besides , if he sees us becoming closer, it may make Matsuura jealous too. No, I don’t think so. What? I just know. Not him. No, he wouldn’t be jealous at all. Wow, I never really noticed before, but, she really is cute, isn’t she? He dumped such a cute girl. It’s hard to figure out these popular guys . Yeah, do you see what I’m getting at? If Miki were getting involved with you, it’d be great, she’s in competition right now, so what do you say, we join forces, okay? Please. Okay Ginta, where did you go with Arimi after that. Hey, Miki. You wanna go try out the gondola ride a little while? Well, I don't know, we were thinking about going to buy some souvenirs at Meiji-kan. Oh. That’s okay, we can do that anytime. Let’s go for a ride, they say it’s really beautiful at night. All right. Whoa! Oh, It’s so pretty. There’s no way a picture’s ever gonna look as good as that. Hey, it’s Na-chan and Miss Ryouko. So, those lights, is that the Shimokita Peninsula? Yeah, Breath-taking, isn’t it? When we came here in college, it rained the whole time, and we couldn’t see a thing. You got that right, yeah. Look at them, they’re a good match, aren’t they? I guess so. This is cool, I can’t wait to finally get S- I know a whole lot at the way I think you’re gonna wanna see. Okay. Ginta. Hey. I haven’t talked with Ginta at all, since then. I don’t know, it seems like he’s avoiding me. Do you want to go see the “avenue of poplars” first? Okay, that’s good, and then where. Well, we gotta go to the Clock Tower . There’s a botanical garden, too. I know, why don't we go to dori park. How come, isn’t it just a park? Well, there’s a tower there, and I hear the view is really something. Okay, fine, we’re gonna have to get going then. Here we go. Say cheese . Hey, thank you. Yeah. Thanks, where do you guys want to go now? I don't know. Why don't we give Oh-dori park a try? Yeah, good idea. Whoa, that’s incredible . It just goes on and on. What’s up with him? He’s the one who wanted to come here. But he looks so nervous . Ginta. Sorry, were you waiting long? No, not really. Arimi? Sorry, it was really hard to sneak away. So, where should we go? What? It doesn’t matter to me. Come on, loosen up, will you? It’s got to look like we’re together . But even if we do pull it off, there’s no guarantee Miki will show up. You moron. It doesn’t really matter if she actually sees us or not, it’s still gonna be pretty effective if she hears a rumor. I suppose so. Come on, let’s go look from over there. See you around, we’ll go to the mall for a while. Okay, then let’s just meet back here in half an hour. Oh, Arimi. Oh. Just keep bumping into you. Didn’t you say you wanted to go now? It’s a perfect chance, let’s show how happy we’re together . How happy we’re together? You bet. Oh, hey, let’s look there it is. Miki. See. Take a look at that. At what? There, right there. Hey, hey. Cooling, you’re blushing, get out of crap, come on, it’s embarrassing . Those two seem to be getting awfully romantic . Wait a second , that’s the girl who came to the invitational game, isn’t it? I don't get it, what’s going on? Ginta, you idiot, is that it? You’re just gonna go steady with Arimi all of a sudden, you’re not even gonna give me a chance to decide? Ginta, I just know it. Not him again. Okay, Ginta, do I have to keep saying it? Leave Arimi alone. This is in quite… Don’t blow it, okay? Look, it’s none of your business , okay? What? What’d you just say? What do you get out of saying a thing like that? How ungrateful can one get, Did you forget how I gave you that beetle grub back when we were little? What? Why would you go and bring up a thing like that? Geeze. That’s slimy, how did you get like that? Do you think it’s just… you don't do this to family, you know what, you’re no longer my cousin . Oh, fine, go right ahead, no one’s gonna come between us, okay? Whoa! Yeah, keep going. Ginta. Let’s go. Miki. Miki. Well. Maybe that was a little too effective . Not yet. Not by a long shot. Oh, yeah. The game’s just getting started. What? Hey, wait. No fair. Ginta! Arimi! Ginta! Arimi! Where are you? Why even bother, she just… I can’t believe Ginta, don't you care about me at all, anymore? Oh, I hate this, my heart’s just…Ginta, you idiot . Are you ..uh…sure you wanna be walking here? Just between us, you’re kind of worked up about her and Ginta, aren’t you? That’s ridiculous , no, it’s just that I’m… That means I’m… What in the world am I?
I wonder how Ginta actually feels about Arimi. When I think about the two of them, my heart just aches. I ran into Arimi in town, she was wearing makeup and perfume, and she just seemed so grown-up and sophisticated , but me, I’m just a cranky little kid.
You know, hey, wait. Wait hey, hey, I, uh…
What’s Arimi up to? I don’t get it, she’s all fixed on Yuu, and then it’s Ginta, just like that? And he, he just followed her all dumbfounded .
Who am I supposed to believe ?
well at least the school trip starts tomorrow, it’s supposed to be fun.
I’m just not in the mood.

Miki.
See. Take a look at that.
At what?
There, right there.
Hey, hey. Cooling, you’re blushing, get out of crap, come on, it’s embarrassing .
Those two seem to be getting awfully romantic .
Wait a second , that’s the girl who came to the invitational game, isn’t it?
I don't get it, what’s going on?
Ginta, you idiot, is that it?
You’re just gonna go steady with Arimi all of a sudden, you’re not even gonna give me a chance to decide?
Ginta, I just know it.
Not him again.
Okay, Ginta, do I have to keep saying it?
Leave Arimi alone.
This is in quite…
Don’t blow it, okay?
Look, it’s none of your business , okay?
What? What’d you just say? What do you get out of saying a thing like that?
How ungrateful can one get, Did you forget how I gave you that beetle grub back when we were little?
What?
Why would you go and bring up a thing like that? Geeze.
That’s slimy, how did you get like that? Do you think it’s just… you don't do this to family, you know what, you’re no longer my cousin .
Oh, fine, go right ahead, no one’s gonna come between us, okay?
Whoa! Yeah, keep going.
Ginta.
Let’s go.
Miki.
Miki.
Well. Maybe that was a little too effective .
Not yet. Not by a long shot.
Oh, yeah. The game’s just getting started.
What? Hey, wait.
No fair.
Ginta! Arimi!
Ginta! Arimi!
Where are you?
Why even bother, she just…
I can’t believe Ginta, don't you care about me at all, anymore?
Oh, I hate this, my heart’s just…Ginta, you idiot .
Are you ..uh…sure you wanna be walking here?
Just between us, you’re kind of worked up about her and Ginta, aren’t you?
That’s ridiculous , no, it’s just that I’m…
That means I’m…
What in the world am I?
I wonder how Ginta actually feels about Arimi.
When I think about the two of them, my heart just aches.
I ran into Arimi in town, she was wearing makeup and perfume, and she just seemed so grown-up and sophisticated , but me, I’m just a cranky little kid.
