Version 1.0 
 4/02 Notes: It’s time for hybrid summary-translations again!.  I picked out 
Aishiteruze Baby because I really like Maki-sensei’s art but her past couple 
series were a bit too hard for me.  Note: don’t take these word for word, I’m 
quite liberal with the “artist’s initiative” idea ^^;;.  Also, I’ve put last 
names in all caps, to specify, so an example would be WELLING Tom XD.  So here 
we go, enjoy, comments and corrections are always a nice, large help 8D. 
 < > Thoughts or narration
italicized text  the side comments

~ Part 2 ~
Kippei:  …

Kippei:  Kyaa~!  <Who, who is that!!!>  <Oh~ right…>  <Family concerns…>  <”Take 
care of her!”, says Sis… caretaker, huh…>  <And then she came to sleep in my 
bed… that’s right, that’s right.>

Mother:  Ah, the bathroom lights are on.  Maybe Father is inside?  Gya!
<fx: door slams>
Kippei:  Mom!!!!
Mother:  Ki- Kippei!!  Wha- what…!!

Kippei:  Please, it can only be you!!
Mother:  W… wait!!  What… what can only a mother do!!!  Kyaa~
Kippei:  Teach me how to make onigiri!!
Mother:  …ha?  Onigiri?  So, you want me to teach you how to make it.  Use your 
hands like this!!
Kippei:  Un, okay, but can you go a little faster?
Mother:  This child of mine…
Kippei stares at a rice spatula.

Kippei:  O-kay~
Sister:  Mor~ning.  What are you doing, Kippei?
Kippei:  <Geh…>
Sister:  Eh… what… onigiri?  Don’t tell me… it’s for Yuzuyu-chan’s obento?
Kippei:  None of your business!!
Sister:  So you’ve got a gentle side like any woman, huh?
Kippei:  You told me to take care of her!
<fx: sliding door opening>
Sister:  Ah

Yuzuyu:  Awake… …
Sister:  Yuzuyu-chan’s obento is being made.
Kippei:  Oi!  Don’t say~
Yuzuyu:  Yuzu’s…

Kippei blushes cutely.
Kippei:  Go change your clothes so we can go!
Yuzuyu:  Hai!
Sister:  You’re exactly like a mother now~
Yuzuyu scuttles off.

Sister:  She’s a good kid, huh…  It’d be great if Miyako could come back.
Kippei:  …

Kippei:  Hai.  There you go.
Yuzuyu:  Thankyou~
Arrow: stool
Yuzuyu:  Satsuki-oniichan…
[translator’s note: Satsuki is Kippei’s little brother]
Kippei:  N?
Yuzuyu:  Does Kippei-oniichan have a girlfriend?
Kippei:  Well~?  I don’t have a “girlfriend” but…
Yuzuyu:  So!  Yuzu and Kippei-oniichan should go get married!!

 Yuzuyu:  But we’ll keep it “shh”!
Kippei:  5 years old is a little early to do that~
Kippei:  Finished!  Here is the male-made nigiri meal! (title)
Sister:  You mean Kippei’s mother-made meal~
Kippei:  Kya, it’s already this late!!?  How!?  Let’s go!

<fx: tada~>
Kippei:  Hai.
Yuzuyu:  Wa~!
Kippei:  Ha!  Let’s hurry!
Teacher:  KATAKURA Kippei~!  Ha, late again today~.
Girl:  Kippei was late yesterday too, huh?

Kokoro:  …
Teacher:  Hey, KATAKURA, you’re late~
Kippei:  Sensei, I may be late again but I am repenting deeply.
Teacher:  Is that so.  Hurry and sit down.
The girls talk about how silly Kippei is, and then it’s lunchtime…

Kippei:  What.
Girl:  What are you looking at?  You want it?
Kippei:  How do girls make their obento so beautiful… is it made from happiness? 
 Does it make you cheerful?  Well, guys?
Girl:  Hey, you.  Our moms make our bentos!  I’ll kill you!
Girl 2:  You making fun of us?  Jerk!
[translator’s note: I don’t know why they’re getting so worked up, I must have 
missed something… @_@]
Kippei:  …

Kippei:  Onigiri!?  Onigiri!  And just one!!
Guy:  What’s wrong with you?
Kippei:  Why didn’t anybody stop me from making one ball of onigiri?  No side 
dishes?  I’m screwed!
Girl:  I had onigiri for lunch, once upon a time.  How nostalgic…
Kokoro:  That’s not an obento.
Kippei realizes his obento faux pas.
Kippei:  What now… there’s nothing I can do.

He fawns over Kokoro’s lunch and pisses her off.
Teacher:  Sensei is going to eat now!  Everybody eat!

Ken: Yuzuyu-chan has an obento today!
Yuzuyu:  Un!
Sacchan:  Sa-chan likes tomatoes~
Yuzuyu:  Yuzu’s… onigiri…
<fx: silence>
Ken:  Kyahaha what is this~!

Ken:  How gross~!
Yuzuyu slaps Ken!
Teacher:  Heh…!?  What was that sound!?

Ken:  U… u… u… Uwaaaa~
Meanwhile, Kippei has shirked an errand the teacher sent for him to do, and 
Kokoro is being pressured to find him but she says she’s too lazy to bother.
Kippei:  Whoo…

Kippei:  <She was so happy, but just wait till she finds only one ball.>  <”I 
want to eat the onigiri that Mama makes”>
Girl:  Kippei~  So here you are!  Say something!
Kippei: Eh~
Girl:  Why are you so blasé~
Kippei:  Nn~
Girl:  Let’s hang out today~
Kippei:  Can’t, I’ve got stuff to do.
She kisses him.

Kippei:  Stop it, I’m not in the mood right now.
Girl:  So~ what is your hand doing, then?
Kippei:  Oh…
Kokoro:  The teacher’s calling for you.

Kokoro:  La~ter.
Kippei:  TOKUNAGA!  So, who did Sensei call for?
Kokoro:  Nobody.
Kippei:  Ah, well thanks.
Kokoro:  Don’t touch me.

Kokoro:  I’m not going to hang around you and that strange girl.
Kippei:  <I’ve already told her before that girls hang around me>

Kippei:  <Ah… I don’t feel too chipper.  I didn’t tell her that I’d never made 
onigiri before.
Teacher:  KATAKURA-san.
Kippei:  …hai…
Teacher:  Today during lunch, Yuzuyu-chan… well… she hit a boy.
Kippei:  Eh!?  What!

She explains the circumstances.
Teacher:  Well, they’re just children, after all.
Kippei:  …  <What sort of voice should I use to bring this up?  Angry?  
Sympathetic?  Praising?

Kippei:  …well! Well~ well~ well~ well~ life is long, just live each day as best 
as you can!  So cheer up!  Okay!
Yuzuyu:  Hu… u… eh~…

Kippei:  … hey, what’s the matter?  Cheer up, why don’t you?  Don’t cry!  Here!
Yuzuyu:  But… Ken-kun… Yuzu’s… o… oni… o…
Kippei:  Oni… giri… onigiri…?  Ah~… was it that bad?

Yuzuyu:  I was happy…
Kippei:  Don’t cry… Yuzuyu.

He kisses her on the forehead (what an adorable picture!).

Kippei:  I’ll… do better tomorrow.  What would you like?
Yuzuyu:  … Onigiri!

Yuzuyu:  And a hamburger!
Kippei:  <I knew there’d be something else!>
Yuzuyu:  Hey, Yuzu looooves Kippe-oniichan!

Sister:  Die!  And don’t you dare hit back, you waste of human flesh!
Arrow:  Just got back from work.
Kippei:  Don’t hit me… though it didn’t even hurt!
Sister:  Don’t come home for another three days!  Go far, far away!
Kippei:  What, geez…
