"I'd never be able to write it." "Maybe the difference is in our experiences with love." "I don't think you need to hurry." "Huh?" "I haven't even experienced my first love yet!" "why are you drawing shojo manga?" "when they ask." "Sakura?" "Huh?" "M-M-Me?" "W-Well..." "I was attracted to him because h-he was really tall and manly... but he didn't notice..." "I've had more chances to talk to him." "But I think he only sees me as someone convenient..." "What's so good about a guy like that?" "To Sakura-san" "From Yumeno Sakiko" "Yumeno Sakiko" "Thank you for everything" "To Sakura-san" "Yumeno Sakiko" "He's right." "Do I really want things to stay like this?" "crap!"
