Honey Lemon soda ch 30

Here’s a looooong summary/translation on chapter 30 of honey lemon soda! Hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did!! 

Kai is talking with his group of friends and Uka says that Miura is always the center of attention and she lives in a corner but currently her position is different. She’s running to school because it’s Kai’s birthday (2/17). The girls around Kai ask him if his girlfriend made any plans to celebrate it and his friend asks if Ishimori even knows it’s his birthday. Kai replies no and his friend says seriously? Why didn’t you tell her. Uka arrives and the girls ask her if she even knows what today is.. Uka says Happy Birthday Miura! and hands him a box of lemon soda & treats (kai is so surprised lol) :) The girls are annoyed that she knew and ask if that’s seriously her gift to Kai and that it’s really bad since its cheap. Uka says she wanted to make him a cake and tried looking for a gift but she was really bad at making sweets and didn’t know what else Kai would like. They get annoyed while walking away they say that they still can’t accept their relationship with each other since they’re “unbalanced.”His friend asks Kai if he has any plans after school, and kai replies yes a date with Ishimori at gesen. Uka smiles and vows to always protect their happiness. The sensei’s hiding behind the wall and say that lately Ishimori has been enjoying her youth, midori sensei says that its a good thing and other sensei says no it’s not that Ishimori will either stay in the library or go home after school in order to study but now she’s going on a date with kai. Midori says well yeah because they’re dating and the other sensei says no that they might have to have a parents meeting because Uka’s parents were extremely reluctant in having her attend hachimitsu high & wonder how they should tell them about kai and uka. Midori sensei says she’s able to balance both so it shouldn’t be a problem. The professors are worried because this seems to be Uka’s first relationship so they’re going to keep on monitoring her. (HIS SLEEEEEEEPING FACE *heart eyes*) The professor tries to wake Kai up and after the 4th attempt he wakes up, he tells him that he scored a 4 on his exam and his grades in all his 8 subjects were around 20 points, he asks Kai what his reason for coming to school if he’s always sleeping.. Kai says eh? To see my girlfriend? The professor asks what’s your girlfriend’s full name, and he says Ishimori Uka-chan. Uka blushes and her classmate asks if she’s okay and if she needs to go to the infirmary! Kai looks at her and asks why her face is all red and his friend is like you seriously don’t remember? Abe-san asks if kai and uka have a minute to talk. The sensei’s tell uka that lately she seems to be too easy going and how they notice how she’s putting a lot of “heart” into dating Kai and say what kind of combination are they & they don’t suit each other. He tells them why they couldn’t find other people to be with besides each other he also reminds them that uka’s dad isnt even aware of their relationship and how moving forward she needs to be careful with her behavior since he expects great things from her in the future. Kai looks at Uka and says that they won’t be able to go on their date, uka says not to cancel it because it’s his birthday but Kai makes an excuse by saying that he has to go to his part time job and how he will do something about this for her. uka apologizes and then tells her dad about her relationship with Kai thinking it would be okay and he gets upset. Her dad calls the professors to let them know that uka had told him about kai & sensei says that he will continue to watch over her and he can contact him at any time. Kai walks by and tells seto and ayumi that he will be studying.. they notice uka carrying a lot of textbooks and how although she looks calm she’s studying even more now after what sensei had told her. Seto asks Kai if he’s decided & if he’s going to his job and kai replies that he will be busy for a while. The girls walking tell Uka why she’s leaving kai alone and how she should hold her head up high no matter what. Uka walks into the professor’s office because she didn’t understand a problem and they ask if kai went home already. Sensei continues to say that he would be okay with them continuing their relationship if they at least both came together to study but then says that it’s impossible since Kai has really low test scores. Uka defends him by saying that kai currently has a lot of things going on in his life that prevent him from doing so. He says he is sick of kai and how uka should stop affiliating herself with kai because she might lose sight of herself. Uka replays what the professor’s had told her earlier about her relationship with Kai and says that she can live without kai BUT with kai’s help and influence she was able to become closer to the ideal person she has always wanted to be. She apologizes to them for making them worry however she wants them to see her future. Uka’s dads coworker points out that there is a blonde boy waiting over there to see him. Uka wonders how can she convey her feelings even more to make them understand. Midori sensei congratulates Uka for receiving 100 on her exam and uka thinks that by doing this little by little it will make a difference. Moka calls kai expressionless and tells him that right now is not the time to be sleeping and this why the professor’s continue to bad mouth him, she says if he wouldnt be upset if they had to break up over this and says that ishimori-chan is too good for him. Tonbo laughs and says that it looks like kai doesnt care at all. Midori sensei says that two people had gotten the highest grades in the class the first being Uka and he congratulates her again and then says the second person with an 100 on the exam is Kai ( lol everyone is shocked)  The other sensei comes in and demands kai with an explanation with his current exam grades now being 92, 94 & 98 and if he cheated. Midori sensei says no that he was watching kai studying in the library so he asks then how... Kai tells them that before he didn’t have a reason to put any effort in and smiles back looking at uka <333! the sensei calls uka’s dad and tells him that it seems that they might have been a bit overworried about the relationship between uka and kai & her dad agrees by saying that he started to have the same feeling since the other day and sensei is confused and says the other day? It’s a flashback of the conversation between Kai and her dad when Kai went to go see him and Kai tells him that even after 2 years he will continue to make uka laugh and spend happy times together and as he bows (so precious) he tells him that he will protect her with all his power. Her dad says what is that.. it sounds like a proposal. Kai interrupts the hype and says happy birthday to uka (3/2) her classmates tell her why she didn’t say anything and kai tells her to come because he has a little gift for her. (does anyone knows what pepe means in japanese? I’m personally not familiar with that word so at first I thought it meant the equivalent of baby lol but yeah im not really sure) Her classmates notice the cake box and ask if it’s a cake from angel’s and say that there’s usually a 30 minute wait line! Uka becomes overwhelmed trying to process everything and tells kai that she feels a bit bad because she didnt get him much for his birthday, Kai tells her that next year he expects sweet things and surprises only from her. ( His smile after he says it is just so sweet) Uka says that there are still things she needs to continue to do, as she continues to get stronger she realizes that it’s still not enough for her but for now there are a lot of things that have occurred to her all thanks to her first year in HS. Ayumi says that with this class change they will know who will continue on to college or who will get a job right after school. The kohais surround kai but he notices uka & smiles at her while saying good morning. GREEETINGS TO THE THEIR 2ND YEAR!

damage thus far, i was actually supposed to get these last month but i didn’t have enough room so I only got the latest volumes of boku ni Hana, aoba-kun ni kikitai & omoi omoware. I’m super happy i went to book off because I managed to find the first two volumes of I love you baby & it was only ¥200 each! Just need 3 & 4 now. Although mayu murata is my favorite mangaka, I love komori mikko’s art style, it’s my favorite...just so beautiful! It’s the main reason why I read boku ni hana. I still need to get kirameki no lion boy & Futsuu no Koiko-chan! Of course i have honey lemon soda completed at home lol & a whole bunch of other manga! Love reading & collecting manga:) My manga is mostly in Japanese.. the only English version I have is of kuzu no honkai.

[pastel-senpaii]

I grabbed myself a copy of mata ashita as well & at the end there’s a special on towa & non-chan! It’s been a while since I read this manga but non-Chan helps me picture Kai with black hair lol & this scene gives me hope of seeing a little more mature scenes in honey lemon soda! ☺️

[pastel-senpaii]

Here’s a quick little translation on the last few pages of chapter 31 on honey lemon soda (I had to since these pages leads up to my favorite scene which is their kiss!!) Sorry I can’t translate much today but I’ll def have time to finish this by next week only translating the dialogues not the boxes sorrry:( except the ones on the last two page. So leading up to this scenario...

Kai’s friends tell him to check his phone on line, he looks at it and is extremely surprised that he now sees Uka’s name under the area to add people (uka has upgraded her phone to theee iphone!) Kai screams ISHIMORI, YOU IN A LITTLE COME OVER HERE! his friend tells him to be careful since he’s literally so mad he might fall off the window xD and her friends around her are like what’s going on, huh, what?! Uka’s like eh? Miura-kun?! You’re getting so angry, KAI! A FIGHT?! Eh, are they breaking up? Uka apologizes and kai’s like I haven’t even said anything yet... Uka tells him she’s changed her cell phone & that they can now talk to each other on line she also tells him how she’s now entered the art department (in the a few pages before his friends showed him uka’s art work she created and he was surprised it was hers & his friends were like really you didnt know? so he gets upset by that as well ._.) Kai stays quiet and Uka’s like don’t be shy, say something.. kai’s like yeah Uka then asks him if it’s okay for them to talk on line everyday & kai smiles. (I’m really sorry I can’t read the kanji too well because of the quality of pictures) but i’m assuming kai says something along the lines that he’s sleepy so uka tells him “miura-kun pillow, i’m a pillow” and pats her shoulder remembering when he sat next to her on the bus & fell asleep, Kai’s like well I’ll lay here and lays on her lap xD! Uka says to herself that she’s really happy to be with him right now but once he returns to the classroom... she says Miura-kun i’m feeling lonely.. Kai gets up and says if we hold hands would you be happy (remembering what she said in ch 29 ) as uka is about to finish saying yes kai cuts her off and says but that he’s not sure that’s enough to make him happy AS HE PINS HER DOWN & KISSES HER (I literally screamed.) Kai then looks up and says it’s time to go back and she should go back to class properly lmaooo Uka stays on the floor and saays that her heart is about to explode his friends are like ahh you’re finally back & then asked if something good happened.. ayumi says uka-chan and marin is all giddy thinking that they broke up & says kai broke up... but when they look at uka’s face being all red she’s like EHHHH? in the boxes uka says like twice and how she’s going crazy over what happened lol
