I submit my opinion that Chika is the cutest of the Mashimaro girls, and by far the sexiest.

Source? If I'm interpreting this correctly, Matsuri-chan has a secret boyfriend.

Her secret boyfriend is Takanori, Chikas older brother.

Fun Fact: Takanori is quite obviously based on Barasui, but he was cut from the series when he realized no one actually gave a shit about him, just the girls.

I'm being serious about the secret boyfriend thing though. I can't interpret the meaning of all of the text in>>554054and>>554063
(specifically the third panel in>>554054)
but it looks like Matsuri has a secret older boyfriend who visits her on occassion, but she's not allowed to tell Nobue or the others about him.

Are you referring to>>554479?
It's canon in the same way that TV show pilots are canon even when certain elements get retooled for the actual series.
>>554054and>>554063
are just doujinshi pages though.

She's tearfully telling him that her period is late.

No, really.

Then in the second page, after hugging her he takes off, leaving her asking "when will you come back?"

Holy crap, is that what that means? I could tell she was saying something hadn't come for a month, but I couldn't tell what she meant. It makes sense now though.
But why doesn't she use the past tense of ???

And I'd still like to know the source or at least see more pages of this.

Someone translate this? By the way, I don't count volume 0 as canon, it just doesn't fit. More of a beta.
>> Anonymous
I like to think that it is cannon and Takanori is just getting the same treatment as Chikas parents. They all exist but are simply never shown or spoken about. It would be funny if in one chapter Chika was to pass him in the hall or something without them speaking and that is all that is ever shown of him; just a nod that he is still around. Also IM is getting kinda stale it needs some new characters to be introduced; there is only so far you can carry a story with only 5 characters.

This is the only other "page" there is, and it doesn't seem to be directly related to the other two. These are parodies drawn by a guy who's been blogging the Ichigo Mashimaro PS2 dating sim game at http://myhome.cururu.jp/sakuraiten (click on "???" in the sidebar)

Ichigo Mashimaro isn't that kind of game (Unfortunately?). First, it's on a Sony console for Chrissakes, and second, you can see from the box scan further down the blog that it's rated A for All Ages by CERO (the moonish counterpart of ESRB)

"Based on the Japanese comic, you play as a childhood friend of Nobue Itou, one of the comic's five heroines. It's summer vacation, and the girls have come to your home town, giving you a chance to get to know them better. Outside of Itou, you'll also meet Miu Matsuoka, Chjika Itou, Matsuri Sakuragi and Anna Coppola -- all college students. The game takes place over a one month period. Every day, you can perform two actions, including shopping, meeting with a girl, and even going out on dates. Prior to going to bed, you can exchange e-mails with the girls in order to better your relationship. As you play, the game displays a map of your home town, showing where the girls are at any given time."

I believe that's a mistranslation. From the scan of the back of the game box on http://myhome.cururu.jp/sakuraiten, and my limited knowledge of Japanese, it says that you, the main protagonist are a college student. I can't find anything about the girls being college students (and you can plainly see in this picture that Chika is dressed in a junior high school uniform).

I would have to agree that Chii is the cutest. Its a combinaton of looks and personality.

Here's how I imagine each of them would act if you tried to have sex with them (i.e. whipped it out).

Nobue would kick your ass.
Matsuri would cry.
Ana would be disgusted.
Miu would laugh at you.
Chika would act irritated at first but after a little while would probably be willing to give it a shot (Chika is the tsundere).

I think Matsuri might be cuter, but I'd rather spend time with Chika.

Yep, it's done right now. This issue was pretty easy to translate. I'm starting a new thread for it though.

>>556281
Have you ever had a magazine subscription? Used to you'd get the November issue around the beginning or middle of October, so that the issue would be out in time for November. But then they kept pushing it further and further up, trying to get their issue out as early as possible so that nowadays you get the November issue in the middle of September. It's the same way in Japan apparently, so that the April issue of Dengeki Daioh comes out near the end of February.

Actually, stores are supposed to keep the issue on the shelf until the end of the month printed on the cover. Not that anybody usually bothers to, but that's what the cover date is for.
