through life so cheerfully. FX: Jab Prick 4) Well, here goes nothing...
Good morning, Seira!

What...What scheme are you cooking up this time? S: Huh?

so hurtful, big sister? How can you doubt me so, who've always thought the
world of you...

feeling so blue?

all my heart. FX: blush 5) Prince Zera, you're like a big brother to me. I
know I can leave my big sister in your hands. H: Huh? Say what? Hold on!



p.98. Seira! Aren't you in love with Prince Zera... S: Oh, dear! What a
frightful thing to say! I'd rather be kicked by a dog than carry on an
affair with one of my sister's loved ones! Caption: Don't you mean "kicked
by a mule?" 2) This is impossible...!! 3) FX: JOLT! 4) I wish my big sister
nothing but happiness with Prince Zera! TP: You can count on me! 5)
A...dream? N: Bwah--



p.99. It looks like I just had the strangest dream! Could that possibly be
what I desire most? 3) Ah-hahaha! So you say Seira was fawning over you? 4)
Sounds like your classic fright tale? How ghastly that must have been!
Hahaha... 5) Enough already! This is no laughing matter! I was genuinely
terrified!

["Se," to be precise] 5) By day and night a clueless master detective, in
fact my true identity is... Bon Vie Flash, Superhero of Love!

outfit! 2) Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha. The truth is that Dr. Kisaragi has been operating
on me in secret! Dr. K.: Now you'll be invincible! 3) Now there's no longer
any need for you to fight. Now that I've got you covered, why don't you go
for a cruise on a luxury liner! HA!HA!HA!HA! 4) This is awful! I can't
stand this Seiji! He should be clumsier and weaker! 5) Or else why bother
calling it "Cutey Honey Flash!" FX: BOOM! Thug: Wa~~h!



p.108. Eh? Seiji? Where'd you go? FX:clik 2) It looks like you've come to
your senses at last. Since such a man is worthless, you realize that I'm
really... 3) FX: SLAM! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SEIJI~~! 4) Seiji, hang in
there! I'm with you. FX: twirl twirl W...Why?



p.109. Honey...? Honey! Wake up already! FX: Moan Groan 3) Hey, I'm talking
to you! Hang in there! FX: Moan 4-5) What is the meaning of this, Dream
Claw? Aren't your nightmares supposed to be able to control men's hearts?
6) After all this effort to increase my standing in Honey's eyes...a
complete backfire, wouldn't you say? DC: Ah...(Mutter) Why could that be?



p.110. Lord Zera, perhaps if you'd kept out of sight... FX: WHOOMF! Yaaah!
2) Useless... 3) This stratagem may have failed, but I'm not giving up on
you! H: Natsuko~~! I had the most incredibly bizarre dreams! I was so
frightened! 4) Well, then! I guess I'll use Cupid Claw next. I think I'll
call it Operation Love-Love: Grab the Heart of the Woman you're Hot for and
Squeeze!
