Translation by Christine Schilling (now Christine Dashiell)

With Lettering by Abigail Blackman

 

 

Topics:

  • Oldboys hiring a girl to have sex, (that's not right)
  • The whole bathroom/toilet break to get characters separate.
  • character development between Kyouko x Katsun.
  • Kurumi's sexual aggression and modesty towards Hideo.
  • Condoms, why it's best never to go cheap and to have a draw full of them for your boyfriend and yourself.
  • Manga sutra (a.k.a. Futari Ecchi by Katsu Aki)

 

 

Synopsis:

 

During their date at the summer festival, Hideo Aiba is separated from Kurumi as she goes to the ladies' toilets. When alone Hideo meets the older man in Kurumi's life, Hideo proudly confesses that he drinks Kurumi's pee and the older man responds by saying it is the reverse case for himself. When Kurumi returns, she sees that Hideo is made to feel uncomfortable and Kurumi makes it clear that the man ought to not bully Hideo. Hideo and Kurumi meet with the rest of the roman club whilst the older man watches on, the man is not alone. A woman arrives at his side and sheds a tear when she sees Kurumi is happy with friends.

The next day, Hideo decides to stay over at Kurumi's and act as her personal pet. He's ordered to be a good boy and stay seated within his cardboard box. Although once Kurumi leaves him alone, he needs to pee, but he can't disobey and leave his box. He chooses to wet himself and although nervous at first, Kurumi is able to forgive him and give him a wash.

 

Katsun takes sick and ends up in hospital. The Roman club makes an effort to visit him although Hideo is apprehensive in taking Kurumi there. On their way back Kurumi thanks Hideo for arranging a holiday with her, as they part, he steals a kiss from her. It becomes their first kiss together. Hideo is surprised that instead of punishing him for being forward, she blushes and kisses him back. Hideo goes through some penance, as Kurumi makes it clear that he can't touch her until Katsun is out of hospital or else she'll refuse to speak to him. Katsun eventually does recover but the one who is most glad is Hideo, who stayed up all night praying at the shrine. Katsun himself plans to lose his virginity to Kyouko when he buys condoms, this sparks interest in Hideo, who ends up buying himself his first condoms.

 

It's on a camping trip that the Roman Club decide to go UFO spotting, amongst other things. That night Katsun finds out that Kyouko is a Roman Club assassin, on a mission to break Katsun's vow of celibacy. Both Kyuoko and Katsun discuss their circumstances and resolve that no matter what happens with Katsun's virginity, his intelligence will be enough to get him into university. Whereas Kyouko would prefer to full fill her mission to so gain roman club privileges. Yet their love making session is completely interrupted when they spot a UFO. It's a little oddly shaped, but it'll do. Besides, they don't know it was Hideo's glow in the dark condom, too baggy on Hideo, a jerk off session with Kurumi sent it flying in the air.
