[edit] Puzzles

I don't understand the following:

  • "forced to partner with former tennis player Yuu" [why "former"?]
  • "Yuu quit his job for the winter break" (temporarily stops working during the winter break?)
  • "Suzu slips and tells Satoshi what she did, mistakenly believing Meiko was in love with Yuu," [does Suzu really believe that, given that there is no mention previously (I think) of any relationship between Meiko and Yuu?]
  • "was in love with Chiyako, who is really his cousin by blood." [why the word "really"? cousin by marriage?]
  • "he keeps his promise to meet her at the park they met on Christmas Eve to exchange presents." (??)

I hope it's clear why I don't understand the above; if not, I can explain further for any of these that aren't clear. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 23:16, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Hope this helps
  • Yuu was in the tennis club at his previous school but refused to join the club when he moved to the new school after the marriage.
  • In the text, he says he quit his job. He was hired back after teh winter break though, so temporarily stopped working would be accurate.
  • Suzu had a conversation with Meiko in which Meiko said she loved someone who she could never be with, refering to Namura. Suzu, not knowing about Namura and believing that Meiko and Yuu were a prettier couple presumed it was Yuu.
  • Chiyako calls him her brother, and he calls her sister because Chiyako's family adopted him after his parents died. By blood, they are cousins.
  • In making plans for the holiday, Miki and Yuu agreed they would exchange presents at a nearby park where they regularly meet to have time alone where their family won't see.

[edit] Chapter list counts

Volume three has chapters 11 through 15, but volume four shows volumes 15 through 19. I just read them, but didn't bother to count myself (and I've already returned them), so I can't check on this, but I'm pretty sure chapter 15 wasn't spread between two volumes. —Dinoguy1000 18:23, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Tee hee...you would be correct. Fixing now :) -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 18:45, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
