Hana Yori Dango Vol.29, P.1-44
P.3
Doumyouji: I'll tell you straight out, I don't intend to sneak around forever.
Tsukushi: Doumyouji said that, holding a ticket for a flight to New York. 
P.4-5
(title pages) 
P.6
(filler page)
(Tsukushi with balloons) 
P.7
Tsukushi: Wait a minute!!
Tsukushi: Just calm down, ok?? Calm down!
Doumyouji: You're the one who isn't calm.
(Tsukushi pulls back the sleeves of her uniform)
Tsukushi: I've gotten barely any sleep lately!
Tsukushi: And take a look at these bruises on my arms!
Tsukushi: This is from sneaking in and out of your house!!
(flashback to Tsukushi slithering across the grass on her stomach, while crashes 
and yelling resound behind her)
Tsukushi: [Tsubaki-san helped out by making a fuss in the house when I left... 
you two are so alike]
~servant: [kyaa]
~servant: [Tsubaki-sama, please stop!] 
P.8
Tsukushi: So I'll think about it after my wounds heal.
Doumyouji: Then I'll wait until tomorrow.
Tsukushi: I only said I'd think about it!
Doumyouji: You think too much. I'll do the thinking this time.
Tsukushi: [I don't think you're qualified for it]
Tsukushi: And what if we're discovered? Yuuki and Kazuya's families will be in 
trouble again!
Doumyouji: That's why we need to persuade her before that happens.
Tsukushi: You think we can "persuade" that woman...??
(Doumyouji puts his hand over her mouth to shut her up)
Doumyouji: I want to be able to enjoy going out with you. 
P.9
Doumyouji: And I can't do that if we keep sneaking around like this. I've had 
enough of it.
Doumyouji: She may be a demon woman, but she's also my mother.
Doumyouji: If I tell her straight out, I'm sure she'll understand.
Doumyouji: So just trust me and come along. 
P.10
Doumyouji: The discussion's over.
Doumyouji: I'll see you tomorrow. [I'm going home to sleep]
(Tsukushi's head tilts)
Tsukushi: He......
Tsukushi: he's so cool...
(her face suddenly switches to that blitzed, psychotic look she gets sometimes)
Tsukushi: ... Yeah right!!!
Tsukushi: How am I supposed to trust him, with all the messes he's dragged me 
into?! 
P.11
(at the dango shop, Tsukushi is slouching mopily with her chin resting on the 
edge of the counter... ka-kawaii =>)
customer: Um, pardon me...
customer: I'd like one sakura-mochi,
customer: and some daifuku... um--
Tsukushi: Huh? Oh, come in.
Tsukushi: [here's your daifuku]
(she plops a dango into the woman's hand)
Tsukushi: New York...
(the customer gives up and leaves the shop with the dango still in her hand)
Tsukushi: That's where she pulls all her strings from.
Tsukushi: No, it's the forest where the witch lives.
(she pictures Kaede, dressed as the witch from Snow White(?), sending her 
SP-bats off into the air)
Kaede: [fly, fly, my pretties!]
(Tsukushi slumps over the counter)
Tsukushi: Ahh, how did a simple, mild-mannered girl like myself get wrapped up 
in all of this...?
voice: Who's mild-mannered? 
P.12
(Tsukushi looks up weakly, and sees a girl with very-short, wavy, blonde hair 
smiling at her)
Tsukushi: Yu...
Tsukushi: ... Yuuki.
Tsukushi: Your hair!!
Yuuki: Thank you for what you did this morning. I'm sorry I caused you two so 
much trouble.
(Yuuki touches her hair)
Yuuki: Ehehe, I went and got it cut.
Yuuki: I guess it is kinda weird. I look just like a boy now.
Tsukushi: N...not at all.
Tsukushi: It looks... good.
(personally, I liked Yuuki's old hair better =P) 
P.13
boss: Ahh, so you finally showed up?
Yuuki: Yes, sorry for taking time off.
boss: Well then, please hurry up and get to work.
Yuuki: (smiling) Okay, I'll go change.
Tsukushi: Wh...what on earth...?
Yuuki: (in her shop outfit) I just felt like making a change.
Yuuki: After all, I've had the same hairstyle for such a long time.
Tsukushi: Huh...
Tsukushi: Hmm...
(Tsukushi contemplates... "cutting hair --> wanting to make a change --> 
unrequited love?!")
Tsuukushi: Say, Yuuki-- 
P.14
Tsukushi: what happened with Nishikado-san...?
Yuuki: Tsukushi,
Yuuki: (smiling) I want to fall in love again.
Yuuki: Next time with someone who's really good for me. 
P.15
Yuuki: I'm sorry I made you worry.
Yuuki: I tried my best already, so I'm satisfied.
Yuuki: (still smiling) Do you wanna talk later?
Yuuki: I'll tell you everything.
Tsukushi: Yuuki, standing with her head held high,
Tsukushi: seems so grown up.
Tsukushi: She's so radiant that my heart skips a beat. 
P.16
Tsukushi: ... Sure.
Yuuki: Anyway, how are you doing, Tsukushi? It looked like things are going 
well.
Tsukushi: Eh... me?
(she tells Yuuki what happened the night before)
Yuuki: Eh??
Yuuki: No way! Are you serious?! You two were walked in on?!
customer: [......]
Tsukushi: [KYAA] Don't say it like that!
boss: Hey you two! Can't you see a customer is waiting??
(both girls blush)
Yuuki: [sorry]
Tsukushi: [hyee]
Tsukushi: Yuuki's love ran its course between night and morning.
Tsukushi: I still remember her desperate eyes,
Tsukushi: and her fiercely running form,
Tsukushi: focused on searching for only one thing. 
P.17
Tsukushi: I've never run that way, ever.
~Doumyouji: Trust me and come along.
~Doumyouji: She's my mother. If I tell her straight out, I'm sure she'll 
understand.
Tsukushi: I guess I'll give it a shot. 
P.18
Tsukushi: I'll believe in him.
(at Doumyouji Kaede's office in New York)
henchman: President, a report has arrived.
henchman: After a few million yen, the realtor finally broke down and talked. 
P.19
henchman: It seems that a young man rented out the apartment next to Makino 
Tsukushi's for a large of money.
henchman: There's no documentation remaining, so it is impossible to verify the 
person's identity. However, most likely,
henchman: we believe it was Tsukasa-sama.
Kaede: I see.
Kaede: My son is very foolish.
Kaede: Go ahead and implement what we discussed before. 
P.20
(later, on a semi-urban street in Tokyo...)
Tsukushi: That octopus is late.
(she peeks out warily from behind a tree)
Tsukushi: Wasn't he the one who said we should meet at one o'clock??
Tsukushi: {b-bump b-bump b-bump b-bump, etc.}
Tsukushi: All the people in suits look like SPs to me.
Tsukushi: Ahh, my heart is pounding...
Tsukushi: If we're discovered--
Tsukushi: No, don't even think about it.
Tsukushi: Oh. 
P.21
(Doumyouji stands before her, looking slightly annoyed)
Tsukushi: Ah, no way.
Tsukushi: You actually came wearing your uniform.
(it doesn't really look like a school uniform though, since he's wearing it with 
the jacket open and a black shirt beneath the slightly unbuttoned white 
dress-shirt)
Tsukushi: I saw you in it once before, but it really does look good on you.
Doumyouji: I'm not as thrilled as you.
Doumyouji: Why the hell did you tell me to come in this thing??
Tsukushi: Because, I wanted to try out a uniform date at least once.
Tsukushi: Why aren't you wearing the necktie?
Doumouji: [hah?!] Like I want to walk around with that stupid thing wringing my 
neck! 
P.22
Tsukushi: Anyway, did the SPs follow you here?
Doumyouji: Yeah, probably.
Tsukushi: Probably?!!
Doumyouji: But if we're in luck they won't find us.
Doumyouji: And your luck is good to be dating a guy like me.
Tsukushi: Hah? What was that?
Doumyouji: I don't think they'll be able to pick us out if we walk around here 
like we own the place.
Doumyouji: It's what they call "Toudai democracy".
("Toudai" is a nickname for Tokyo University)
Tsukushi: You must mean "toudai motokurashi"...
Tsukushi: My luck is bad to be with this idiot...
("toudai motokurashi" seems to be something like "lighthouse darkness", but I 
have no idea what its meaning as an idiom is...)
Doumyouji: Anyway, let's go get something to eat.
Doumyouji: I've had hardly anything all day. 
P.23
(Tsukushi latches onto a pole)
Tsukushi: My heart is pounding.
Doumyouji: Is that so?
Doumyouji: [are you a cicada?]
Tsukushi: Dates aren't supposed to be this thrilling.
Doumyouji: Just play it cool. We'll just stand out more if we sneak around.
(the traffic light changes)
Doumyouji: The light's green.
Doumyouji: Let's go.
(he holds out his hand, and after a pause she takes it)
Tsukushi: The light
Tsukushi: is green. 
P.24
Tsukushi: We're going!!!
(and they cross the street...... {gasp!} sheesh Tsukushi, don't make everything 
so dramatic!)
(Tsukushi and Doumyouji sit outdoors together at a local restaurant)
Tsukushi: We're eating lunch at a really expensive place again........ A 
hamburger would've sufficed.
Doumyouji: I'd rather die first.
Tsukushi: Well, if this is how it's gonna be I might as well enjoy it!
Tsukushi: Wow, it's so delicious.
Tsukushi: What's this?
Tsukushi: {munch munch}
Tsukushi: Mm, it's pretty tasty! I've never had red peppers before.
Tsukushi: {munch munch}
Doumyouji: You always eat like everything's so good. 
P.25
Tsukushi: But it is good.
Tsukushi: [I love broccoli]
Doumyouji: None of the women around me eat with that kind of face. Neither my 
sister, nor Shizuka, nor my mother.
Tsukushi: How could you even see anybody's expression at such a long table?
Tsukushi: I prefer having the dinner pot right at the center within reaching 
distance,
Tsukushi: close enough to feel the steam. 
P.26
Doumyouji: But it's not like I could eat the stuff you people put down your 
throats.
Tsukushi: Are you trying to start a fight?
Doumyouji: Still, you make it sound pretty nice.
Tsukushi: Then, do you want to come by and try it out sometime?
Doumyouji: I'll refrain.
Tsukushi: Oh, I see.
Doumyouji: (smiling) Just kidding.
Doumyouji: I accept your invitation.
(Tsukushi stares at him blankly) 
P.27
(then blushes)
Tsukushi: A jet-coaster romance.
Doumyouji: [you're turning red, how cute!]
Tsukushi: Thrills and fear.
Tsukushi: [shuttup] [idiot]
Tsukushi: It makes my feelings accelerate.
(a waiter approaches)
waiter: The bill comes to 6,000 yen.
(Doumyouji flips out a credit card)
Doumyouji: Put it on this.
waiter: As you wish.
Tsukushi: I said I'd pay for my own share.
Tsukushi: [30,000 yen for lunch...]
Doumyouji: Moron, like you could afford it. 
P.28
(the waiter returns)
waiter: Pardon me... sir,
waiter: but this card was rejected.
Doumyouji: Seriously?
Doumyouji: Then use this one.
(he pulls out a second card)
(the waiter returns again)
waiter: Pardon me, but... this one was also rejected.
(Doumyouji tosses all of his credit cards onto the table)
Doumyouji: One of these should work, right?! 
P.29
(the waiter is starting to look pissed)
waiter: They all... were rejected, sir.
Doumyouji & Tsukushi: !!!
(Doumyouji grabs the waiter by the collar)
Doumyouji: Your machine must be broken then!
Tsukushi: W-wait!! I have 6,000 on me!!
Tsukushi: It's a good thing my payday was yesterday...
(back on the street)
Tsukushi: What could've happened? I wonder if their machine really was broken? 
P.30
Tsukushi: I guess it's really true that rich people don't carry around cash. 
Doesn't it make you feel a little insecure?
(Tsukushi keeps following him as he walks ahead of her)
Tsukushi: [still, they were all gold cards...]
Tsukushi: Anyway, there are a lot of ways to have fun that don't take up any 
money.
Tsukushi: That's how I've always had to do it.
Doumyouji: ........ She's finally done it.
Tsukushi: Eh? 
P.31
(Doumyouji turns to face Tsukushi)
Doumyouji: The old bag has started to move. 
P.32
(filler page)
(Tsukushi eating a piece of cake) 
P.33
Tsukushi: Doumyouji's mother
Tsukushi: has started to move...? 
P.34
Tsukushi: C...couldn't you be reading too much into it?
Tsukushi: Maybe the cards all just expired.
(yeah, sure... =P)
Tsukushi: Or maybe that restaurant was just weird.
Tsukushi: I'm sure that's it. 
P.35
Doumyouji: You're probably right. That waiter did have a nasty look on his face.
Tsukushi: So do you, most of the time.
Doumyouji: What are you talking about? My face is always completely relaxed.
Tsukushi: (sticking her arms up in the air) So!! What do we do now?!!
Doumyouji: I can call home and have someone bring over some money...
Doumyouji: No, I suppose that's out of the question. 
P.36
Tsukushi: My fingertips are growing cold.
Tsukushi: Doumyouji looks so stern.
Tsukushi: At this rate we'll lose our nerve. 
P.37
Tsukushi: I'm going to continue down the road I chose,
Tsukushi: no matter what.
(she grabs his arm)
Tsukushi: Let's do a common-people date!!
Tsukushi: One that doesn't take any money!
Tsukushi: (winking) I'll teach you how! 
P.38
Doumyouji: A common-people date? That doesn't sound very promising.
Tsukushi: Hey, don't forget that you're next in line to run a company.
Tsukushi: You won't be able to compete in the marketplace if you don't 
understand the lifestyle of the masses!!
Tsukushi: Ooh! Let's take a look inside that pet shop!
(inside the shop)
Doumyouji: It stinks in here...
(Tsukushi is already looking at all the animals)
Tsukushi: [waaa] They're so cute!
(a monkey peeks out of its cage)
monkey: [uki]
Doumyouji: Makino,
Doumyouji: this one looks kinda like you.
Tsukushi: That's so rude!
Doumyouji: Woah, that's an even closer resemblence.
(Tsukushi holds a little dog in her arms)
Tsukushi: Hey, look at this one!! Isn't he cute?? 
P.39
Doumyouji: You'll get rabies doing that.
Tsukushi: "Rabies", don't be ridiculous. Waa, he's so soft.
Tsukushi: Here, why don't you try holding him?
(she holds the panting dog out in front of Doumyouji)
dog: [ha ha ha]
Doumyouji: [UWA, STOP THAT!]
(Tsukushi stares at him in surprise)
dog: [ha ha]
Tsukushi: ........ Don't tell me, you're scared?
dog: {wag wag}
Doumyouji: Like I would be scared of that thing!
Doumyouji: ........ But I've never touched one.
Doumyouji: So just keep it away from me.
Doumyouji: [shoo shoo] 
P.40
(Tsukushi makes an evil-cat face)
Tsukushi: OHO.
Tsukushi: [I found your weak spot]
Doumyouji: [!!]
Doumyouji: What's with the creepy laugh?!
Tsukushi: [ahaha] All-mighty Doumyouji is afraid of a little dog.
(the shop keeper approaches them)
clerk: [this breed is called a "Corgy"]
Tsukushi: Our situation is probably changing.
Tsukushi: Something must have happened, for all of those cards to be rejected 
like that.
clerk: Would your boyfriend like to try holding him?
clerk: (to Doumyouji) It's alright, he won't bite.
(the dog looks at Doumyouji with starry eyes)
dog: [ha ha] 
P.41
(Doumyouji holds the wagging dog awkwardly, while Tsukushi doubles over in 
laughter)
Tsukushi: But I can't think about all that, because right now
Tsukushi: I just want to treasure this moment.
(Doumyouji leans over the counter, gasping for breath)
clerk: (to Tsukushi) You two seem close. Are you on a date?
Tsukushi: Huh? I guess you could say we're on a date.
Tsukushi: [it's weird to hear it said by another person]
clerk: In that case, I'll give these to you.
(he reaches into his apron pocket)
clerk: Baseball tickets. They're for a game this afternoon.
clerk: We were giving them out as shop prizes, and these two were left over. 
P.42
(Doumyouji and Tsukushi walk out of the shop together)
Doumyouji: Baseball? How dull.
Tsukushi: It looks like it's some sort of major league final match. I don't know 
much about baseball either.
(she turns to him with starry eyes)
Tsukushi: Why don't we go?! After all, it's free!
Doumyouji: You......
Doumyouji: What's with those sparkles in your eyes??
Tsukushi: But it's free, right?! It would be a waste to not go!
Doumyouji: "Free"... "a waste". I've never used such words...
Doumyouji: Besides, sports are something one does, not watches.
(but Tsukushi is already running off in the other direction)
Tsukushi: I'm pretty sure Tokyo Dome is this way.
Doumyouji: ............ ............ 
P.43
Doumyouji: Hey you, listen to me when I'm talking to you!
(at Doumyouji Kaede's New York office building)
secretary: President, your car is ready. 
P.44
(Kaede walks down a corrider, followed by a female secretary and a male henchman 
speaking simultaneously)
henchman: Some information has come in from Tokyo. The matter of the credit 
cards was taken care of successfully.
secretary: I'll read your schedule for the rest of the day.
secretary: From here, you're going to have lunch with the LAN representative for 
an estimated 2 hours.
henchman: At 2 o'clock Japan time, he attempted to use the cards at a 
restaurant.
henchman: It seems that he was there with a young girl dressed in a high-school 
uniform.
secretary: After that, you have a meeting within the company...
(Kaede's expression darkens and she stops in her tracks. Then henchman looks 
back at her in surprise, as she stares ahead pensively.)
