Hana Yori Dango Vol.25, P.1-53
P.4
Shigeru: I see.
Shigeru: So that's what happened.
Sakurako: I think it's pretty suspicious.
Akira: You really have a nose for fraud.
Akira: It's probably 'cause you're a shady person yourself.
Sakurako: Hey! What do you mean by that?!
(the F4 & co. are hanging out at some cafe) 
P.5
Soujirou: The snake's path is always crooked.
(uh, is he making some sort of joke?? I translated the best I could)
Sakurako: Nishikado-san!
Akira: Hey, do you guys feel a chill in here?
(Doumyouji is scowling at the head of the table)
Shigeru: Uwa, there's a lot of negative energy in the air.
Sakurako: It is rather stormy.
Soujirou: ............ This guy's surrounded by darkness even though it's the 
afternoon. 
P.6
Akira: He must be depressed. He was called a brat, and then Makino left with 
that other guy.
Akira: I think that's the first time he's ever been called a brat by a perfect 
stranger.
Shigeru: I guess an adult guy really is best.
Sakurako: That's right.
Sakurako: They make you feel wrapped up in a way.
Soujirou: I bet Makino is being "wrapped up" as we speak!
(arrow points to him saying "demon")
(hrm, this joke is kinda hard to translate into English because it seems to be 
based on different connotations of a Japanese verb, "tsutsumikomu")
(Doumyouji slams his drink down onto the table) 
P.7
(he looks even more stormy after Soujirou's tactless joke)
everyone: Hyee...
(Doumyouji slams his hand down)
Doumyouji: I'm going home to sleep!
Akira: H...hey, hey!
Soujirou: Let him be, if he's that pissed. 
P.8
Sakurako: I can't believe he's going to sleep now.
Akira: As long as I've known him, he's always gotten violent or gone to sleep 
when something upsets him.
Akira: 'Cause he's a little kid.
Akira: Still, he seems really affected by this.
Sakurako: Huh? Where's Shigeru-san?
Soujirou: Shigeru?! Where'd she go?? 
P.9
(Tsukushi and the Tsukasa-lookalike guy, meanwhile, are inside a moving train)
guy: Are you still angry?
(Tsukushi stares off into space)
guy: Well, I guess I understand if you are.
guy: But we're talking about 5,000,000 (yen) here.
(she glares at him)
Tsukushi: ......
guy: So what are you going to do? Even though he's in love with you, it is 5 
mil.
guy: Any normal person would do it. 
P.10
Tsukushi: I'm not going to, stupid.
guy: With 5 mil, your family could move out of that tiny hovel and into a real 
apartment for two years at least.
(Tsukushi pictures herself giving the money to her parents)
~mother: Tsukushi!
~mother: Thank you so much for this 5,000,000!!
(Mr. and Mrs. Makino are in tears)
~Tsukushi: But I got this money by deceiving a person.
~mother: What are you saying??
~mother: Money is neither clean nor dirty!
(Tsukushi parents throw the money up into the air and let it shower down upon 
them)
~mother: Money is just money! 
P.11
~mother: If this money will allow us to go on living, who cares where it came 
from!!
Tsukushi: [hehe]
guy: Oh! You're were just thinking you might go through with it, right?!
guy: Right? You'll do it, won't you?
Tsukushi: N-no! No! No, I won't!!
guy: You're freaky when you're mad.
Tsukushi: (loudly) How could I forgive myself if I did something like that?!!
guy: We're inside a train, you know.
(Tsukushi looks around and sees everyone staring at her) 
P.12
(Mr. Tsukasa-lookalike grins)
guy: You're an interesting person.
(Tsukushi puffs out her cheeks)
Tsukushi: No I'm not. Don't smile at me when you're a liar.
guy: Oh? Aren't you a liar too?
Tsukushi: Why am I a liar?!
guy: You're always wavering between loving Tsukasa and hating him.
Tsukushi: That's not lying! It's called inner turmoil!
guy: Well, I don't know what's really going on inside you, but
guy: what do you ever find to like about that guy? 
P.13
guy: He may be big on the outside, but he's like an elementary school kid on the 
inside.
guy: It's just human nature. You may love him for three years.
guy: But after that you'll start to feel like a babysitter.
Tsukushi: (really loudly) Shut up!!
(everyone on the train glares at Tsukushi) 
P.14
(she sits down and bows her head)
Tsukushi: ........
guy: Maybe you're the one who should shut up.
Tsukushi: Nevermind, just hurry up and take me to Doumyouji's mother!
guy: Sure, sure, but we can only go as fast as the train will take us there.
Tsukushi: Ahh, your mouth gets on my nerves! I'd like to slam my fist into it!
guy: I just tell you what I really think.
guy: Oh, we have to switch trains here.
Tsukushi: Dammit... why is he doing all this...?

P.15
(Tsukushi's foot slips into the crack between the train and the platform)
Tsukushi: Ah!
(he pulls her up by her arm)
guy: Watch where you put your feet.
(Tsukushi pulls her arm away fiercely) 
P.16
Tsukushi: I...... What am I going to say to Doumyouji's mother when I see her?
(Tsukushi and the guy are on board the next train)
Tsukushi: I let out my rage? Tell her off for using other people to trick me...?
Tsukushi: Then what?
Tsukushi: Babysitter, huh?
Tsukushi: I'm never quite here or there. 
P.17
(Tsukushi thinks of the other members of the F4)
Tsukushi: They've grown up with him their whole lives and they still can't 
control him.
(she stares out the window)
Tsukushi: On top of that, there was that thing he said before.
~Doumyouji: Even if I'm not good enough, that guy is?!
Tsukushi: So childish......
Tsukushi: I wonder if I'm thinking this way because of my family environment.
Tsukushi: Even when I'm not actually there with them, it still troubles me...
Tsukushi: .......... 
P.18
Tsukushi: What am I saying??
Tsukushi: Th-that was nothing. I was talking to myself! Just forget about it.
guy: You were raised in a good way.
guy: You're always trying to understand the bad parts of yourself.
guy: Still, that can be a bad thing too, don't you think? 
P.19
Tsukushi: ..... Why?
announcer: Passengers leaving the train............
guy: We've arrived.
guy: Let's go. Are you ready?
Tsukushi: Why
Tsukushi: does this guy understand the things that I want to say?
Tsukushi: Why........?
(a sign saying "Tokyo International Airport" is visible) 
P.20
(they stand before the airfield)
Tsukushi: ...... Here? 
P.21
guy: If his mother is going to New York, she'll have to go through this airport.
(Ok, he actually looks semi-cute on this page, but I still don't like him! That 
Tsukusa-copy!! =<) 
P.22
(a vein pops out on Tsukushi's forehead)
Tsukushi: ...... Again!
guy: Hey, I'm not deceiving you. It's the truth, right?
guy: Has your head cooled off after the train ride?
Tsukushi: !
(she slumps down onto the ground)
Tsukushi: ... I've been had again.
guy: Be grateful!
guy: If I hadn't gotten you out of there when I did, it just would've become a 
big emotional scene.
Tsukushi: Yeah...
Tsukushi: I feel like the tension has been released a little.
(he stares at her) 
P.23
guy: To be honest, I don't really get it.
(he holds out his hand to her)
guy: I said that I like you, but it's not romantic love.
(Tsukushi lets him help her up)
guy: I think that kind of love is just an illusion. Like I said before, it may 
last three years but then it fades away.
guy: So what's the point of going through all this hardship? 
P.24
guy: Yesterday... when I saw you crying, I thought the same thing.
guy: Why don't you try having a more relaxed life?
guy: I think the two of us would suit eachother. 
P.25
(the noise of a plane taking-off surrounds them)
Tsukushi: A relaxed life......
Tsukushi: I wonder if I'm capable of such a thing...
guy: Huh? I can't hear you. What did you say?
Tsukushi: Your name!! What is it, Kiyonaga?! 
P.26
(he grins)
guy: Amon.
guy: Kunisawa Amon, 21 years old, college junior.
(ok, I'll have to stop calling him "guy" now... =>)
Amon: I'm a normal guy who makes a living through working a job. 
P.27
Amon: This time it's not a lie.
(Shigeru follows Doumyouji down the street, somewhere in Tokyo) 
P.28
Tsukushi: There was a time in the past...... that someone said something to 
me...... within the roar of an airplane.
Shigeru: Ahh, enough of this! Where are you going anyway?? 
P.29
(Shigeru runs to catch up to Doumyouji)
Shigeru: Hey, can't you slow down for a second?!
Shigeru: Your legs are so long that I can't keep up with your stride without 
running!
Shigeru: I don't think my legs are especially short either.
Shigeru: {gasp gasp gasp}
Shigeru: You and I are--
(Doumyouji stops suddenly and Shigeru slams into his back)
Shigeru: Uga! 
P.30
(she crouches down and holds her hands over her nose)
Shigeru: Owow. Don't stop so suddenly!
Doumyouji: Don't follow me. Go home.
Shigeru: Then have your car take me there. I didn't bring mine today.
Doumyouji: Forget it.
Shigeru: But look, your driver has been following you all this time too.
(Doumyouji's middle-aged driver huffs and puffs and he tries to catch up with 
them)
driver: [young master, can I go home now?]
Shigeru: Don't you feel sorry for him? He doesn't know whether he can leave or 
not.
Shigeru: Ahh!
(Doumyouji is already far up the street) 
P.31
Shigeru: Fine! Sulk all you want then!
(two guys appear in front of Shigeru)
guy1: Oh, what a cutie!
guy2: Say miss, wanna go do some karaoke with us?
Shigeru: No thanks. Get out of my way.
guy2: Get out of my way, she says.......... I like spirited women.
guy2: You're definitely my type!
(they grab her by the arms) 
P.32
Shigeru: Hey! If you don't let go of me, I'm gonna kick your ass!
Shigeru: [your hair is identical, are you two twins or something?]
guy1: Come on, we're just going to go have some tea.
(I heard somewhere that "do you want to go have some tea?" is one of the most 
common pickup lines in Japan...)
Shigeru: Get ready to see the shinjutsu I learned as a kid...!
(The guys freeze. Doumyouji stands behind Shigeru with a scowl on his face.) 
P.33
guy1: Well then, I guess we'll be going.
guy2: Seeya.
(They run away. Doumyouji's so good at scaring away street punks. =O)
guy2: (to guy1) [hey, wait up!]
(Shigeru stares at Doumyouji)
Shigeru: H...hey! That was a perfect opportunity for me to try out my skills!
Shigeru: Who asked you to butt in! 
P.34
Doumyouji: Shut up! Stop bothering me and go home!
(Shigeru looks at Doumyouji for a moment)
Shigeru: You've become a kind person, Tsukasa. 
P.35
Shigeru: I remember when we first met during that marriage meeting fiasco.
Shigeru: You left me out in the cold with no shoes on.
(flashback to Shigeru and Doumyouji arguing out on the street)
~Shigeru: But I'm barefoot.
~Shigeru: Don't you think it's wrong to just split after dragging me all the way 
out here?
~Doumyouji: Not particularly.
(flashback Doumyouji runs off without a second glance)
Shigeru: I guess it's all because of Tsukushi.
Shigeru: It really is true that a good woman changes a man. 
P.36
(Doumyouji's back is to her)
Doumyouji: Shigeru,
Doumyouji: what's the difference between that guy and me?
(Shigeru is silent for a moment, then...)
Shigeru: Hairstyle!
Doumyouji: Forget I asked! Go home!
Shigeru: I was kidding, kidding! [you get angry so quickly]
Shigeru: Wait, I don't think Tsukushi even really likes that guy! 
P.37
(Doumyouji spins around and stares Shigeru down)
Doumyouji: ........ What makes you so sure??
Doumyouji: She left with him, didn't she?!
Shigeru: W...well, that is,
Shigeru: I'm sure she must have had some sort of reason.
Doumyouji: [heh] Reason...?
(yee, dangerous smile)
Doumyouji: Reasons, reasons, reasons!
Doumyouji: I'm sick of hearing about reasons! 
P.38
Doumyouji: Women are always hiding behind vagueness!
Doumyouji: Why can't things just be simple?! Don't fuck around with me!
(Doumyouji sees Shigeru's face, and rethinks)
Doumyouji: ... Sorry.
Doumyouji: I'm going home.
Doumyouji: I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. 
P.39
(Shigeru watches him walk away)
Tsukushi: It was next to a deafening roar. 
P.40
Tsukushi: It was Doumyouji.
Tsukushi: That time when Hanazawa Rui followed Shizuka-san to Paris, we watched 
his plane leave...
Tsukushi: What I couldn't hear within all that noise, was probably... him asking 
me to the date of that snowy day.
Tsukushi: ... I 
P.41
Tsukushi: can be pretty persistant,
Tsukushi: once I fall in love with someone.
(Tsukushi and Amon are drinking tea/coffee in some cafe)
Tsukushi: I had to give up someone I loved once.
Tsukushi: The relationship I have with that person now isn't what you'd call 
romantic,
Tsukushi: he's more like a friend to my heart...
Tsukushi: Whenever I'm suffering, being with him comforts me a lot.
Amon: I bet he's one of those guys in the group of four from before. 
P.42
Tsukushi: Ex......excuse me?
Amon: If you find him comforting, he must be that one who doesn't talk at all.
(In his room at home, Rui sneezes as he lies in front of his TV. There's a 
Japanese superstition that people sneeze when they're being talked about.)
Tsukushi: .......... I can't stand this!
Tsukushi: It's like you can see right through me. It gives me the creeps!
Amon: You know,
Amon: I have a lot more life experience than you do.
Amon: 17 year old girls aren't that hard to understand.
Tsukushi: You're only 21 years old. 
P.43
Tsukushi: How much life experience can you have, living in that nice condo by 
youself?
Amon: You think so?
Tsukushi: Yeah, I think so! I bet you heard all this stuff from Doumyouji's 
mother.
Amon: I didn't, seriously.
Tsukushi: I still don't fully trust you yet. 
P.44
Amon: I won't lie to you anymore.
Amon: I promise.
(Tsukushi is a little surprised)
(she stands up)
Tsukushi: I have to go home and prepare dinner.
Tsukushi: This is bad.
Tsukushi: I'm starting to give in to him. 
P.45
(outside in the street)
Tsukushi: Bye. I'm going home from here.
Amon: Tsukushi.
(grr, that impertinent--)
Amon: You said you were able to get over a guy you liked once before? This is no 
different.
Amon: It's just going through a change. 
P.46
Amon: People's ideas can alter.
Amon: It's the same with feelings.
Amon: Of course you can't expect it to happen right away.
Amon: But you've never purposely tried to cross over to his side of the bridge, 
have you? 
P.47
Amon: You must understand, somewhere deep down, that you belong on this side.
(Doumyouji is staring off into space, elsewhere)
voice: Hey handsome, wanna join me for tea? 
P.48
(Shigeru stands nearby holding two cups)
Shigeru: It's coffee actually. I bought it from a vendor nearby.
(she holds out a cup to him)
Shigeru: It's getting late, so drink up.
Doumyouji: [....]
Shigeru: C'mon!!
Doumyouji: ........
Doumyouji: You're still here?
Shigeru: Ah, what a think to say when a cute girl like me is making all this 
effort to cheer you up!
Shigeru: That's so you, Tsukasa!
Doumyouji: Ahhh, fine fine, I give up. 
P.49
(she sits down next to him, and watches people pass by)
Shigeru: I've never drunk coffee in a place like this before.
Doumyouji: Me neither.
Shigeru: And this takeout coffee--
Shigeru & Doumyouji: tastes like crap.
Shigeru: What did they brew this from?
Doumyouji: I don't know. Mud, maybe? 
P.50
Shigeru: But,
Shigeru: this is normal, Tsukasa.
Shigeru: The world we live in is different,
Shigeru: but we take all that for granted.
Shigeru: To most people, this is entirely normal.
(Doumyouji pictures Tsukushi in many different forms: with her tongue sticking 
out, yelling in anger, smiling slightly) 
P.51
Shigeru: .......... There's no point in blaming yourself for that.
Shigeru: It's just the way things are.
(image of a happy Tsukushi)
Doumyouji: ........
(he buries his face in his hand)
Doumyouji: Yeah.
(Shigeru looks at him) 
P.52
(the coffee cups drop to the ground) 
P.53
(Shigeru leans into Doumyouji and holds him in her arms)
Shigeru: I'm here for you.
