ooh, someone switched the drama lights on!

Oh heeeelllllllllll noooo

All in all, I'd really like for Miwaki to show some consideration for poor Yamada and stop ranting about how Inoue must be Kase's ex. True or not, she should be aware that this cause nothing but grief and angst to yamada, it really feels like it's intentional...

Yeah, this was really annoying me. She knows what Yamada's like; why is she constantly telling her that she's got a super-hot ex to compete with to keep Kase's attention?

How can Kase possibly be so sweet and innocent and yet so hawt and thirsty? :3

And yet this is why I love the series, because as a rule high schoolers are all horny idiots. I absolutely believe these dorks could be real high schoolers. Same reason I liked Youka so much in Kindred Spirits

Senpai seemed really nice at first and that last line took me by surprise.

also I thought about it a little, and went back to re-read chapter 6 where we first see Inoue.. I guess i'm not super worried or mad at her. I mean, it seems like she just wants to be alone with kase-san because they've stayed friends, and wants some competitive spirit between them, that's all fine and dandy.

kind of like how if you want to hang out with your friend and they suddenly decide to bring along a significant other/friend they don't really know when you just wanted to spend time with them.. so I can understand where Inoue is coming from, but she should have been a little less aggressive about it. But because Yamada assumes they dated (which I doubt, like many others here), she's extra tense and probably made Inoue unsettled too.

I just kind of hope this is sort of what's going on, and Inoue is actually a nice person that Yamada might come to like too once things are cleared up or something..

I need more (((o(ﾟ▽ﾟ)o))) I can see all that drama running towards kase~ ･'(ﾟ▽ﾟ)' Raise that Yuri flag Yamada!! （≧∇≦）

This senpai is really pissing me off -__- Go away so our girls can enjoy lovey dovey time ok! Stop third wheeling!

Hope Yamada kicks her in the ankle.

... huh.

I wonder if this is one of those things were senpai is just "testing" Yamada for whatever weird reason. Well either way, Inoue's personality is so hard to grasp at this point that I guess I will just go with that "...huh" gut reaction and wait for how this whole thing will go down!

Also, some of you keep calling megane-chan Miwaki, but surely it is Mikawa right?

Let's hope Yamada actually gets to speak her mind this time

"friend from class"

Kase-san what are you doing

kase stahp

Regardless they dated or not, I think is pretty damn clear Inoe has her sights set on Kase. Poor Yamada.

Kase's faux pass didn't help either.

I've started to picture Yamada's reactions as being quite like this character's:

Am I the only one that find interesting that Kase, who's head over heals for Yamada, didn't introduce her as her girlfriend to Inoue who's supposedly her ex-girlfriend and thus should know Kase is into girls ?

Usually, you go for the "friend" introduction when you don't want people to figure out your gay. Makes me think that not only Kase never dated Inoue, but also never tell her that she like girls. Well, could also be that she was overly cautious of being on school grounds, so there might be a risk of someone coming within earshot. Also, it feels that Yamada is especially hurt by that introduction exactly because she's so set on Inoue being Kase's ex-girlfriend that she would have feel natural to be introduced as her girlfriend.

As for Inoue, I reserve my judgement for now... She did come across rude about the "don't get in my way" comment, but might just be because she was looking forward to have a proper run with Kase without any distraction and she doesn't like having Yamada tagging along for no evident reason. Maybe she also feels that if she wins against Kase with Yamada around, there's a chance her win might be caused by Kase being distracted by Yamada.

Or, plot twist : Inoue actually has the hots for Yamada as well (the "I" quickly changed to Kase when mentioning noticing her on the side) and would get distracted by Yamada just as much so she doesn't want that. Would be kinda fun, the two of them running around poorly because both trying to sneak peeks at Yamada in the middle of it. XD

I love the faces Yamada makes

I think it's important not to let the very last line distract you from everything else she said in that page.

I'm thinking that Inoue came back for the school festival ONLY to race Kase one last time.
She says that she doesn't know what Yamada is thinking, due to her never having joined a club, I see it as a "you never had the chance to have a real rivalry" kind of statement.
I believe the request for Yamada to stay out of their way is her saying that her rivalry with Kase is a very personal matter to her. She wants it to stay something exclusively between Kase and herself, and not have anyone else involved.

I think Inoue is very passionate about her perceived rivalry with Kase. I wouldn't be surprised if she demands Yamada leaves during the race and Kase goes along with it (we all know how clueless and tone-deaf Kase can be ;p)
I see this lasting another 2 chapters, with it being resolved at the end of chapter 21.

edit: looking back at page 16, the fact that she starts saying "I.." and then switches to "Kase-san always saw that on the way home from school." actually makes me think that Inoue pointed Yamada out to Kase on their walks home, and then that's when Kase actually started crushing on Yamada. I'm starting to think Inoue actually knows Yamada is Kase's girlfriend, or at least suspects it.
What this means for Inoue's feelings towards Kase I have no idea, but it does make me think that she knows Kase could be distracted by Yamada while they run.

Nah, chapter 6 showed that it's after Kase noticed Yamada doing her best by herself as plant appointee (and trying to peek at her undies in the process) that she went to Inoue to clear things up and became friends with her. So I take it more than either Inoue noticed Yamada on her own, or noticed that Kase kept drooling at Yamada on their way home. :p

Fix for p18: http://i.4cdn.org/u/1472005809188.png

So we are finally up to date with Kase-san?

Aside from the Summer & Kase-san doujin, pretty much. Out of interest, is the "4koma" listed in the index different from Rival & Kase-san?

edit: got 'em mixed up

The Chocolate & Kase-san is translated, it's chapter 5.5. Only the 4koma Summer & Kase-san isn't.

So just to check, Summer & Kase-san is the 4-koma in question, right?

Like I wrote and like it's on the page where the series is. Granted, it could be wrong on the page but, I doubt it.

Well it's kinda listed like they're seperate things. It probably made more sense when the other untranslated chapters were listed under Volume 4(?).
