Synopsis
 

All synopsis are by Zahara Medina, and cannot be used anywhere else without her permission. As she is just a student of Japanese, any help, comments or corrections are more than welcome! ^^;
Please, go to the Image Gallery to see the covers in full! ^^
(And remember to buy these tankobon if you like the summaries, it's the best way of thanking the authors and the synopsis are nothing compared to the real thing! ^^ )

Note: B/w scans are from the magazine, where the print is in low quality paper and different ink colors so it sometimes scans pretty bad and leaves lots of noise in the picture. The tankoubon quality is, of course, much better (perfect, that is).

NOTE! Ichiko (the true one, female, now wearing blonde wig) = Ichigou (real hair, passing as male) = Ichigo (same as Ichiko, name she uses for Kanzaki and Sousuke). The three are the same girl.

Chapter 32 (Sep'2002)

Ichiko calls Sousuke but he doesn't know what happened to Kanzaki either. Ken spots Kanzaki in a live program and Ichiko is happy to see he is fine. She decides to try catch him at school, but she is told "fans like hers" are a nuisance, so she leaves.
Tendou catches up with her and invites her to a party. At said party, Ichiko is surprised that everybody looked at her when she entered, but Tendou avoids the issue. As she walks around, she sees Kanzaki! Ichiko tells him how upset she at him for not telling anything when moving out. Tendou sees them together and starts to call for her, but Kanzaki takes her hand and drags her away. Ichiko wonders what on Earth is going on.

Chapter 33 (Oct'2002)

Kanzaki and Ichiko walk around Shibuya and end up having gyudon (sukiyaki meat and onion over rice) at a small restaurant. Afterwards, Kanzaki lends Ichiko his jacket because it's cold outside. She tells him that she is happy she went to the part because that way she was able to see Kanzaki, and that it's all thanks to Tendou. Kanzaki is disturbed that it was Tendou who had the idea.

A street musician asks Ichiko to look over his guitar and stuff while he goes to the toilet, and she accepts. Kanzaki takes it and starts playing and singing one of Trijet's songs. After they finish, they realize they are surrounded by a cheering crowd, who recognizes Kanzaki right away, so he takes Ichiko and they run away.

Ichiko thinks that she had forgotten the feeling of being cheered by fans... Kanzaki wants to go, but Ichiko's ankle hurts because of the high heels. Ichiko says that it's just like the first time they met but Kanzaki denies it, saying that the first time they met was when he mistook her for a crew member and she defended herself with a leek (1st chapter). He tells her that he can now recognize her no matter how she looks. Ichiko is really happy at his words.

When Kanzaki arrives home, he finds Tendou waiting for him, but he refuses to tell him where he went.

Next day, Ichiko visits Kanzaki to return the dress and apologize for disappearing from the party. Tendou says that he is glad she got to meet Kanzaki and invites her for some tea. He tells her to wait in the living room and watch some video or something while he prepares the drinks. Ichiko wonders what there is on the tape and to her shock, it's scenes of her and Kanzaki seeing each other and meeting at the party!

Chapter 34 (Oct'2002)

Tendou tells Ichiko that what she is seeing is the feeling he has for Kanzaki's debut video. Ichiko asks if that's why he invited her to the party, and after a moment, he answers yes. Ichiko slaps him for this, but he just gives her information about the video taping and says Kanzaki depends on her. Ichiko is really upset Tendou is doing this.

Ken is really mad as well, but Ichiko still thinks that "nice Tendou" wasn't a lie. Ken asks Ichiko what her real feelings about the job are.

Later on, Tendou visits Kanzaki and tells him that Ichiko will go for his sake.
Ichiko arrives to the filming location and is changed into the same dress and wig she was using for the party. Tendou acts totally normal with her, and she thinks she can't understand him.
The filming starts but neither of them is doing very well. Kanzaki goes off on his own and Ichiko follows him. He confronts her about going there because of Tendou's doings and Ichiko tells him that she made de decision by herself. They go back to filming and now they are really good and the crew thinks Ichiko is really cute. Tendou looks away obviously upset.

Chapter 35 (Nov'2002)

Kanzaki's video hits the street and Chizuru teases Ichiko about it. She tells her that they really look like lovers in the video. Ichiko then leaves while Chizuru stays behind... writing a short keitai mail to Sousuke. Chizuru looks sad and calls herself a silly girl.

Kanzaki is interviewed as his debut single hits number three in the charts. The reporter asks if it's true the rumors about the girl in the video being Ichigou, but Kanzaki declines to comment.
Meanwhile, Ichiko learns that her new job is being a model for a new product campaign. Ichiko complains about this since she had no idea this is what Tendou had in mind, but he tells her to get a grip and that it was her decision to return to work.

After work, Ichiko de-stresses by calling Tendou very bad names in an empty street. To her surprise, Kanzaki appears and he walks her home. They seem a little akward, and Kanzaki tells her that his song hit number 3. Ichiko is very happy for him but he says it's all thanks to her promotion video. As they walk, Ichiko plays with her and Kanzaki's shadows on the floor, making it look as they are holding hands and kissing... but unintentionally she talks aloud about how it looks like they are kissing!
Kanzaki leans towards her as if about to kiss her, but then backs off and says it was a joke. Ichiko is hurt by this and goes away, leaving Kanzaki seemingly as upset as she is.

As Ichiko walks, she calls herself an idiot. Tendou catches up with her and offers her a ride. He was worried because he couldn't find her and nobody at her home picked up the phone. While seated in the car, Tendou asks Ichiko what would happen if he were to tell her that he likes her?
