Happy-Go-Lucky Days (どうにかなる日々)

So my first kiss was with a girl.

Her name was Yuri.

It sounds like a joke, but it's not.

Congratulations on the wedding.

I'd be glad to attend.

Suginami Ward, Tokyo

Hoshino Etsumi

And now she's getting married.

Coming.

Hoshino residence.

Ecchan?

So loud!

It's me, Takeda! Takeda Yuri!

Oh, hey.

Has the postcard arrived?

I already responded.

Huh?

So, are you coming, or...

I sure am.

Thank goodness.

I'm so glad!

Congratulations.

And then, on the day of the wedding...

Damn it. I can't believe I cried.

I wonder if she heard me.

She's following me!

Oh, th-thanks.

You're welcome.

How dramatic!

Oh, she's actually kinda pretty.

You're in love with Yuri, aren't you?

Huh?

I'm in the same boat.

Can you believe she asked me to make a speech?

Wanna grab some drinks?

S-Sure.

She definitely heard me.

Come over to my house.

Um...

I won't try anything weird.

My place is just around the corner.

Come on.

But...

I won't do anything!

This way!

Hell yeah!

Here we are. Apartment 502.

Oh crap.

It's a complete mess.

Sorry, but I'm starting to feel sick.

Like you're gonna puke?

I'm not sure.

But I want to lie down.

Are you okay?

Lying down really helped.

I touched your boobs.

See? You lied.

Off it goes!

S-Stop...

It's too late for that.

But...

What was Yuri like in high school?

She was really popular.

Was she in junior college too?

Nah, not really.

Everyone was boy crazy.

She talked about you a lot.

How you were her girlfriend in high school.

In high school...

Sorry. Don't cry.

I mean, I'm also her ex from college, so...

Honestly, she was infuriating.

You can say that again.

Though it'd be our mistake to ever think she was sensitive.

I know what you mean.

Two adult tickets.

Huh? It's fine. I can pay for myself.

Nah, it's on me.

I'm getting lunch, then.

Sure thing.

I-It's freezing!

Wanna go somewhere?

Wanna come over to my place?

Sure.

I guess we're not finished ranting about Yuri yet.

Right?

Hoshino

Thanks for having me.

It's not as spacious as your place.

It's really cute. I love it.

Do you have any yearbooks?

Wanna see Yuri, huh?

Takeda Yuri

Wow, her hair's so short!

Like a boy.

She started growing out her hair toward the end of high school.

She asked me out around the time that photo was taken.

Oh yeah?

She kissed me out of the blue.

And then just ran off.

She always was impulsive.

Where are you?

Never mind me.

Why not?

Hoshino Etsumi

There you are.

So cute!

Jeez! Drink your tea already!

I see.

By this time, you two were already...

I see.

Must've been nice.

Ecchan...

Your boobs...

Oh, is my hair in the way?

Yeah, a little.

I like you better with your hair down.

You do?

I'll keep it down since you like it, then.

What was Yuri to us, anyway?

A mirage?

A total slut.

But she led me to you.

I'm blushing.

It's so anticlimactic.
