Ienakatta Kotoba
(Volume 1 Chapter 4)
Arai's relationship with Kawazoe Haruka has never been fully defined, even to him. So when Kawazoe turns up unexpectedly in Tokyo, it sends Arai into a confused spin. Mikimaro is also panicked - is he going to lose 'his' Arai-kun to their former senpai after all? Many flashbacks from Arai and Kawazoe's past.

Oretachi no Senritsu
(Volume 3 Chapter 9)
Nakamoto's under a lot of pressure at home so Arai drags him into playing piano part time in a bar down town. When an agent ostensibly scouts them, they ask Takagi's advice, opening up memories from their classmate's past. Meanwhile, Nakamoto's stress is creating friction with his father - while Takagi plots to do something about achieving his dream.

I don't have a lot of time for translation work although I like to do it because it's good practice. I'd love to translate all of the Sotsugyou manga, but I doubt I'll find time to sit down and go through all nine volumes. So instead I'm focusing in on odd segments here and there. I

I'll say it again for the record - I am still studying Japanese and do not claim to be 100% fluent or accurate...there may be mistakes. But in the absence of any English translation, I've done my best :)

All characters are referred to in the manga order of surname first. I've also left in the honorifics because translations of these annoy me. Please also be aware that I have certain ways of referring to the characters - so they are typed in the script below as follows:

Arai Tougo - Arai
Shimura Mikimaro - Mikimaro
Katou Yuusuke - Yuusuke
Nakamoto Shou - Nakamoto
Takagi Shimon - Takagi
