Hi, minna, long time no post here 🤭

Actually I just reread koiboku until the end & find the doujinshi @m.dex

Oh wow, so this is just Eiji acting as a manga character according to Koharu's request

But when Koharu plans to wear her super shorts on their next date, Eiji rejects her with the reason

Woah, it's really unbelievably cute! Haha, couldn't he think that both statements have the same intention? 😂

Koi wo Shiranai Bokutachi wa -  Summary - chapters 4 and 5

Here are the summaries for chapters 4 and 5 of Koi wo Shiranai Bokutachi wa!! 

Since they are kind of long and somewhat detailed, I’ve written a short paragraph at the end for those who just want to have a brief idea of what happened in the chapter! If you are one of those just search for the TLDR ;)

Also, I’d like to know what you guys are thinking of the story so far ^^

Chapter 4

The chapters starts with Naohiko and Izumi talking over the phone. Izumi explains that they won’t be able to meet because her grandfather was hospitalized.

After running a marathon under the blazing sun, Naohiko tells Eiji that running is good since he can forget about his worries and troubles. Eiji thinks that even his friend can feel down and be troubled without showing it. When the boys are walking at the hallway, Eiji notices Fujimura looking over at their direction and Eiji starts staring at Naohiko, without explaining why.

Naohiko has to go to his part-time job and Eiji has to wait until it’s time for his library duties. Taichi sees Eiji reading a book alone and asks him if he invited Ikezawa to his band’s live performance. It turns out Eiji completely forgot about it, but he’ll try inviting her now.

After asking Ikezawa if she wanted to go to the live, she soon turned the invitation down. She is not interested in that kind of music. Eiji is insistent but that only brings anger to her.

Another day, talking to Naohiko about it, Naohiko mentions that it must be Eiji’s way of inviting that was bad. Eiji tries to invite her on LINE but once again she turns him down. Time to try another approach. Eiji thinks that it must be better to go together with a friend, so he invites Ikezawa’s friend, Yoshino, and tells her to bring Ikezawa together.

Yoshino tells Ikezawa that Eiji invited her but she thinks that he only did that in order to invite Ikezawa indirectly. She’s sure Eiji must have feelings for Ikezawa and she presses her friend to ask Eiji why he was trying to invite her. Ikezawa says she’s a bit curious and decides to look out for Eiji.

Eiji decides to report to Taichi his failure and Taichi starts saying he and Ikezawa barely talked. When Taichi and Ikezawa first met, he thought she was a senior since she had a bossy attitude. Taichi then started noticing how efficient and hard-working Ikezawa was. Even when their seniors made her do their share of work, she’d only do it without complaining, Taichi thought she was amazing, but Ikezawa says that the one’s amazing are those who can look at their surroundings and be proactive. After that, they barely talked since their interests were very different. Taichi then says he wanted to invite Ikezawa so they could get along better.

Eiji is surprised by his friend's story and decides he wants to help him even more. He didn’t know Taichi had such feelings. The two are talking when Ikezawa overhears Taichi saying that he likes her…

TLDR (chapter 4): the chapter is all about Eiji trying to invite Ikezawa to the live without success. We also got to know how Taichi started having feelings for Ikezawa after seeing how hard-working she was, but due to their different interests they never talked much. By the end of the chapter, Ikezawa overhears Taichi saying that he likes her.

Chapter 5

Picking up from where the previous chapter ended, with Ikezawa hearing taichi say he likes her. Taichi is shocked and runs away without explaining anything. Ikezawa then asks if that is related to why Eiji was trying so hard to invite her. He positively replies and Ikezawa once again refuses his invitation. Meaning that she won’t reciprocate Taichi’s feelings.

Summer vacation’s started and the day of live arrived. Naohiko meets Eiji and he’s surprised that Eiji is alone. Before the live starts they go meet Taichi, who is wearing sunglasses even if it’s weird (since he wanted to hide his face in case Ikezawa showed up).

Eiji and Naohiko are talking while other bands are performing. Eiji says he regrets doing what he did and that it was his fault, since he did things uncalled for. Naohiko says that he had never seen Eiji be proactive in regards to love affairs and he wanted both Eiji and Taichi to give their best.

Taichi is reflecting before his presentation starts. From the very beginning he ran away without doing anything, not even trying to invite Ikezawa himself. Although his band is next, he then rushes to Eiji and Naohiko and asks them to call Ikezawa for him. He tells Ikezawa that he didn’t even have the courage to invite her but he really wanted her to come so they could get along better.

In the middle of the phone call, Taichi’s friend takes him away since their band is next and Eiji finishes the talk with Ikezawa over the phone. Eiji tells her that Taichi doesn’t expect her to return his feelings and he just wants them to be friends, and asks her if she can come. Ikezawa says she’s not such a cold woman to refuse this invitation and she asks where she has to go to. Eiji then rushes to meet Ikezawa and bring her, since he feels she’s also gonna be running.

When Eiji and Ikezawa meet, she asks why is it that Eiji looks so happy and he replies that it’s because it’s different from the past. Even though, both of them were running when they arrive Taichi’s band performance has already ended. Finally, Ikezawa and Taichi get to meet and Taichi says that next time he’ll invite her himself and asks if she can come as a friend. Ikezawa says that she’ll be looking forward to it, what makes Taichi extremely happy.

Ikezawa, Eiji and Naohiko are going home together and Eiji is extremely satisfied, he didn’t know he could feel like this. When the boys part with Ikezawa, she stares at the two and she wonders what Eiji meant when he said “it’s different from the past”, it looked like it he was talking about himself…

TLDR (chapter 5): after Ikezawa hears that Taichi likes her, Taichi runs away and Ikezawa decides not to go to his band's live, meaning she won’t reciprocate his feelings. On the day of the live, Taichi calls Ikezawa and tells his feelings himself. He says he only wants them to get along better. Eiji asks Ikezawa to go to the live since Taichi doesn’t expect her to return his feelings. Eiji brings Ikezawa, but they don’t make it in time, despite running there. Taichi and Ikezawa meet and Taichi asks her to come to their next live as a friend. Ikezawa replies that she’ll be looking forward to it. Eiji is satisfied and he didn’t know he could feel like this. Ikezawa is intrigued by Eiji’s words… what did he mean when he said he was happy because it was different from the past? He seemed to be talking about himself…

Changing series for once xD

Credits to Blueberry Scans(previously lemonade scans) for this Scan and translations of KWSBW chapter 1!

For the upcoming final chapter of KWSBW in 3 days. Here is the splash page of KWSBW ch. 1. I remember back then I was just searching for a manga to read when the chapter 1 of the KWSBW appeared at the top of new updates of the manga site. I immediately clicked the thumbnail cause I thought the artwork was good(Eiji is the one on the thumbnail).

Looking at the splash page back then, I guessed who the ships were and I came out with EijixKoharu and BesshoxIkezawa (Sorry Taichi!). Before reading the chapter 1, I paired Eiji and Koharu cause they kinda look good together, A girl who is smiling sadly and a boy who kinda had problems but he smiles optimistically and I’m a sucker for redhead MCand pigtailed girl FMC. As for Ikezawa and Bessho, well Ikezawa really gives off the strong woman vibes and Bessho gives out the mature vibes which I think they will fit together.

After reading the first chapter, I admit I was disappointed that at the end it was EijixIkezawa and BesshoxKoharu. In shojo formula, whoever the girl that the MC interacted and made her blush will be the main love interest. But despite of it, it was executed good and left me wanting more so yeah I figured that Ikezawa aint bad for Eiji. But it's just the start of the story! I don’t want to give up hope on my ships! Stuffs like Eiji and Koharu haven't met yet, I want to see them interact and still hoping that Bessho and Ikezawa will interact more. So yeah I stuck on this manga until Eiji and Koharu or Bessho and Ikezawa interacted more.

Then chapter 6 came which the story took an interesting route with Koharu and Eiji. That really got me hooked more in this.

Koi Wo Shiranai Bokutachi Wa will have its last chapter on the 13th. Let give Mizuno-sensei our best support for this manga’s upcoming finale. As for me I already filed a vacation leave for that day lol

For KoiBoku Fans. Who were your ships back then when you saw this splash page of chapter 1?

Wow, picture really can tell us more than words!

If we read the dialogue between Nao & Eiji, we can see Eiji making a plan of kissing Koharu from the start.

No, Eiji, it's not from Izumi. Nao were really stalking you because of worried. And Eiji felt nervous & confused: when? How? Fufufu, here they are sensei's amazing works for us!

Hugging from behind make me go, "Kya"

More than that. Omg, these panels really make me scream, "Eiji, you can do this!?"

Their kissing scene really surpass naiz for us in this series, right??

[elyonholic]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

what better way to start the year than with EiKo ❤

[chika-chantique]

It's back cover for vol.10

I thought Izumi is the one for Eiji. He really loved her for years. I think I also like her innocent cheerfulness. But after Izumi's feelings was exposed in ch.18-19, I thought maybe Mizuho is the one for Eiji. Even though she's not his type, I thought maybe he would like her after she confessed her love. But in the end I am so hooked on Eiko like crazy. Yeah, Koharu is the best one for Eiji. I guess Koharu's created by sensei for Eiji as Eiji's created for Koharu. Sensei give me some clues, but I didn't consider it before. And now I get it totally.
