In an early chapter I think it was Mimi who was sort of observing Rin and thinking how brave and kind and strong she was. And Rin kind of keeps track of Mimi and Kuro as well, except when she's distracted. Remember at the start of the Bon Eggplant Dream, Rin gave the introduction saying that if Kuro's mother wanted to get married, Kuro would be completely against the idea?

At any rate I thought it was the most natural thing in the world for Kuro to want to talk to Rin about the situation, and I think it's very much like Rin for her to take her off for a talk "NOW" even though it means missing class. She can instantly see how much Kuro is hurting. As far as doing anything to change the situation, she can't. But I'm sure she will be a good shoulder to cry on and she will probably come up with some useful advice...

Yeah i remember that, i mean we know Rin will do anything to help her friends out and her friends look up to her. It's true that Rin knew how Kuro feels about her mom marrying another person especially due to the fact that she was divorced. It's fine that Kuro wants Rin to be beside her even if Rin can't help her with that particular problem.

I can think of one advice Rin would say to Kuro: she would say that your mom loves you no matter who she marries. Then probably for a pause moment she may come to a realization that Reiji probably feels the same way and then maybe will thank Kuro for bring her along but at this point i'm still unsure of how the girls can resolve the problem.

Not Mimi-chan. She's hung up on Reiji. "O-shima jamashita"... (mixing up the "ojamashimashita" greeting. I love when she says that and bounces off the wall)

Ugetsu

"Ojamashimashita" is "sorry to bother you"

What does "O-shima jamashita" mean?

Was that in a recent chapter?

Shinobu

When Mimi came to visit Rin when she was sick, she got all flustered when Reiji invited her in. It's really cute, because she is in love with him, and got all tongue-tied.

She mixes up the "o-jama" with "shimashita". So instead of "o-jama shimashita", she says, "o-shima jamashita". "Sorry to trouble you" becomes, "Trouble to sorry you."

I came across this while looking around the Comic High site. It is a special issue they Released on Tuesday Here is a link: COMIC??? VOL.1 + ??????

Apparently this is that chapter revolving around Rin in the first grade we saw on KW's blog but wasn't published in Comic High. I think it has something to do with a field trip, too.

The Book is called Comic Sumomo. does that translate into Plum Comic or something else

I was giving everyone a heads up too, because this could be this month's chapter as KNJ was not listed on the Comic High roster for the month of Aug

Oh wow this page looks like the teacher is a pedophile. Also taking photos of them messing around and the teacher has an eye for Rin(at least that's how I see it).


Thanks for the heads up Kikster.

Kikiskeeter

Yeah, I thought we could get our Raw hunters onto this, also.

I don't think "pedophile" -- there are 2 little gags, in the first one the old lady (first grade teacher) is taking their picture and saying "these little girls are so cute" -- Rin has a dozen flowers stuck in her hair like a crown. But catlike Kuro has to go chase a butterfly and gets all dirty but she still wants her to take a picture, "it's your job!"

In the second one the teacher seems to decide to tickle Rin, she says "coochie-coochie" and grabs her -- which appears to make Rin wet herself. This one is a BIT dubious but I wouldn't call it pedophilia. The sound effect "furu furu" means Rin is quivering.

I wonder if she is going to re-wind the time frame and jump to this new publication?? It sure is confusing and worrying.

BTW @Nitrogen, check your messages.

Yeah I mean that's what it looked liked to me but obviously you can read Japanese so thanks for the correction Ugetsu.
