Page 1:
[didn't bother translating the cover since it doesn't offer anything vital to the rest of the chapter]

Page 2:
Guy #1: Hey, hey, check her out. Isn't she hot?
Guy #2: She's a first year. [first year = grade 10]
Guy #3: I know her! She's the chick everyone was talking about during the entrance ceremony.
Guy #2: They were saying how there was this cute girl that's borderline loli. [loli=lolita]
Guy #3: I remember now! Narita Akane! All right, let's go talk to her.
Guy #2: Hey-heyy--what's up? Do you have some business with a third year?
Guy #3: Want us to call the person for you?
Guy #2: So let's be friends---
Akane: Ah! There you are!

Page 3:
Akane: Subaru-senpai!
Akane: You didn't have to go through the trouble of calling him for me, thanks anyway,
Akane: because my boyfriend's here.
Akane: Sen-paii! I've come to pick you up, let's go home together.
Subaru: Ah-ah okay.
Guy #2: What the hell is that...are they for real?
Guy #3: Who's that shrimp? He pisses me off.
Guy #2: Isn't it weird that he's her boyfriend?
Guy #2: They don't look good together at all--

Page 4:
Akane: (I've become a high school student, and I even ended up going to Subaru-senpai's school.)
Akane: (Since we live in the same apartment, we're always going to and from school together.)
Akane: (I'm really happy.)
Akane: (And)
Akane: Oh, during PE
Akane: we were out on the grounds
Akane: and I saw your class--
//doki//
Subaru: Oh--
Subaru: r-really...

Page 5:
Akane: (I think our love has grown a bit more.)
Subaru: I-I think I was asleep during that class.
Akane: What--you shouldn't do that--
Akane: Ah---you want to
Akane: do that capsule machine again? [It's called "Gashapon" in Japanese and it's where you put in coins and turn the handle, and a capsule with a toy will come out.]
//tense//
Subaru: N-no, no.
Subaru: It's a waste of time, and I've been thinking of quitting buying stuff from it.
Subaru: And I've been thinking it's about time I should give up anime too---
Akane: Eh!? Seriously? Anime and video games? You're going to give it all up?
Akane: You're going to give up being an otaku?
Subaru: Err...maybe...

Page 6:
Akane: Liar! Then what are you going to do with
Akane: the mountain of Gundam models and DVDs and manga and video games?!
Subaru: I was thinking of giving it all to my friend.
Subaru: T-that's why from now on, it's okay if you call me during the night when I would usually be watching anime.
Subaru: And I've already started clearing out the Gundam models.
Akane: Oh--
Akane: I see...
Akane: (It's as if)
Akane: (he chose me over anime.)
Akane: (I'm pretty psyched about that.)
Akane: Right?
Akane: So that's what it means afterall, right?

Page 7:
Kazama: Yeah, yeah. I got it, I got it.
Kazama: That's right---you two are lovey dovey. Good for you---
Kazama: That's why I'm telling you to quit telling me stuff like that.
Kazama: If you two are going through something bad, then I'll let you talk an earful.
Akane: Nothing like that's going to happen---
Kazama: You never know.
Kazama: You guys just started going out, so he might still be acting all innocent.
Kazama: But with you putting your foot down on his interests, he might start feeling like he's being boxed in,
Kazama: then one day he might decide that Gundam's better afterall and dump you.
Akane: That's not going to happen!
Akane: I'm better than Gundam!
Kazama: Okay, okay, if you say so--
Asahi: Hey! Come on, do some work you two.
Akane: Ah---Asahi-chan, listen to this! Kazama-kun's teasing me!
Akane: He's trying to break up me and Subaru--

Page 8:
Asahi: Oh
Asahi: I might be on Kazama's boat for this one.
Kazama: All right!
Asahi: Whatt! Why?!
Asahi: Senpai's your younger brother! I can't believe you!
Asahi: Because. I'm forcing him to look normal at least on the outside,
Asahi: but he's wayy too much of an Otaku (anger)
Asahi: I can't believe he's going to take you to a Doujinshi Event [Doujinshi is manga made by fans.]
Akane: A Doujinshi...Event...?
Asahi: You're going to go with him on Sunday, right? Akane-cchi....it's okay, just dump a guy like him.
Akane: Sunday...but Senpai was saying there was a family memorial service at his grandma's house...
Asahi: Whoops.
Asahi: Manager---I'm going back to the hall!
Akane: Wait! Tell me more in detail!
Akane: You!
Kazama: Hahaha.
Kazama: The seams are already becoming loose.

Page 9:
Kazama: I'll always be waiting for you, Honey-chan.
Akane: Why did you lie to me?! What the heck is a Doujinshi Event?!
Akane: I thought you were going to give up being an Otaku?!
Subaru: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This was special---it was something I promised to go to a while back--
Subaru: I have to help out selling stuff at my friend's booth---
Subaru: (That Asahi~)
Akane: Well, I guess if you promised your friend...
Subaru: Ah, Akane--
Akane: I'll forgive you if you bring me with you.

Page 10:
Subaru: T-
Subaru: That's impossible! You're better off not coming!
Subaru: Wah wah wah wah [he's panicking ^^]
Subaru: And anyway, you'll probably be bored going to a place like that.
Subaru: There's going to be alot of guys---it'll be smelly and it won't interest you at all---
Akane: It doesn't matter, I still want to go.
Subaru: No! I'm telling you, that's impossible!
Subaru: I-I'll come back as soon as I can so please... [he starts using the polite-form of Japanese speech ^^]
[remembers back to Kazama saying: "If you put your foot down on his interests-- he might dump you---"]
Akane: ...fine.
Akane: If you're going to act like that about it, I won't go.
Akane: Instead, go on a date with me next Sunday.
Subaru: T-thank you, Akane-san!

Page 11:
Subaru: Then see ya, Akane-san!
Subaru: Be careful going home~
//smile//
//sigh//
Subaru: (I'm saved...I'm so glad she gave up...)
Subaru: (And plus, she didn't get that mad either.)
//vibration of cell//
Subaru: (It's Ishida)
[arrow pointing to cell says "An Otaku friend"]
[since I'm not familiar with all this "Otaku talk" I can only guess as to what some of this is referring to ^^
Mail: They're saying that the Comi-fes day after tomorrow will be the day the rare trading card gets released! Remember how I'm the one that got you the ticket--do your best selling those books--]
Subaru: (Is he serious?!)

Page 12:
Subaru: (I definitely want it!)
//pushing cell buttons//
Subaru: (I have to get it! (send))
//cell ring tone//
Mail: And this event's going to be the last one for you, right? We have to be the ones to get it. You've got it tough with your girlfriend and all, hehehe. I'm fine with the way things are right now--]

Page 13:
Subaru: ...I've decided already.
Subaru: That this will be the last time.

Page 14:
Akane: Wow---t-there are so many people. This is amazing~~
Akane: Are they all Otakus?
Kazama: It really is amazing. It's just like how they showed on TV--
kazama: Are we going to be able to find him with all these people around?

Page 15:
Akane: Hey!
Akane: Why did you come?!
Akane: Asahi-chan spilled the info so you're just coming along for fun aren't you?!
Kazama: What's so wrong about that? I wanted to see stuff like this once in my life.
Kazama: On another note---
Kazama: The heat's way high,and it smells~
Kazama: What are you going to do when Subaru-kun finds out you're here?
Kazama: You promised him you wouldn't come, didn't you?
Akane: B-but~
Akane: it bothers me to think about what he's doing
Akane: that he feels he has to hide by lying.
Akane: (And plus, I don't know much about Senpai's friends other than Ryoki-kun...)
//bump//
Akane: Ah, I'm sorr--
Akane: Wah!
Akane: Uh!

Page 16:
Akane: Whoa!
//dizzy dizzy//
Kazama: You okay? You should hold on to me since there are a lot of people here.
Kazama: ---Well, there are people who are interested in different things, and they do seem to be having fun, even with this.
Kazama: I guess for those who aren't a part of this, it's something that they can't understand.
Kazama: I kind of understand why Subaru-kun didn't want to show it to you.
Akane: T-that's not true!
Akane: Subaru-senpai IS here
Akane: but it's not like he's dressed up or writing those perverted manga...
Guy: Welcome---this is a new publishing---
Subaru: P-please take a look...


Page 17:
Kazama: He's cosplaying [dressing up as an anime, video game, etc. character ^^]
Kazama: and on top of that he's selling a really perverted looking book---

Page 18:
Kazama: Well..come on now
Kazama: let's just calm down now, okay?
Kazama: Akane-chan? You okay? He--y!
Guy: Please take a look--
Guy: Please---
Kazama: Akane-chan!

Page 19:
Akane: ..Subaru-senpai.
//gets up abruptly//
Subaru: W-w-why?!
Subaru: Ah..
Subaru: Waahh!
Subaru: U-um, this isn't what you think.
Subaru: It's not mine...err..I mean--um..I--
Kazama: Akane-chan! You suddenly ran off so I was looking for ya.
Kazama: Don't surprise me like that---oh, hi--
Kazama: Subaru-kun, sorry 'bout that. I came here with her--

Page 20:
Kazama: But that outfit really suits you
[the arrow pointing to Kazma says "he doesn't have any bad intentions"]
Kazama: Since you are a bishounen
Akane: kazama-kun! Let's go.
Akane: I'm going to go hom--
//tear//
Akane: What?!

Page 21:
Subaru: I-I'm sorry Ishida, sorry.
Subaru: I--I can't do this anymore...!
//gets up//
//book fluttering aside//
Ishida: Eh? Hey
Ishida: Wait, Yagi-cchi!
//dash//
Akane: Ah...
Kazama: Aren't you going to go after him?
Kazama: or is it
Kazama: that he's too much of an Otaku?
Kazama: (He was pretty cute...)

Page 22:
Akane: I can't believe him
Akane: And why did he suddenly run off leaving me here?!
Akane: He pisses me off.
Akane: A guy like him--
Akane: (He's never shown me a happy face like that.)
Ishida: Um...excuse me...
Ishida: Are you Yagi-cchi's girlfriend?
Akane: Ah...
Ishida: That just now's a misunderstanding.
Ishida: We made him put that outfit on.
Ishida: The guy who was supposed to cosplay today made a last-second cancellation so we made Yagi...
Ishida: Oh, my name is Ishida.

Page 23:
Ishida: hahaha
Ishida: We thought since Yagi-cchi's small and has a cute face, it might go well with the customers
Ishida: So we convinced him into doing it...
Guy: We're targetting the Shota-fans hehehehe [shota=underage boys]
Ishida: Anyway, you really are cute just like the rumours said
Ishida: This! You look similar to Mahou Shoujo Magical Purin!
Kazama: Yeah yeah, she's cute, isn't she?
[Akane's thinking of "Purin" as in the dessert ^^]
Ishida: Do you have any interests in cosplaying?!
[the arrow pointing to Akane says "She's happy that she's been complimented"]
Ishida: I guess if it's for a real version of Purin-chan, then it can't be helped--
Akane: Eh..?
Ishida: Well...you hate Otakus right?
Ishida: That guy doesn't want to be hated so
Ishida: he's saying that he's going to stop being into anime, going to Akihabara, and all of it [Akihabara is a city in Japan famous for electronics, anime, basically, an Otaku's paradise ^^ If you've been watching "Densha Otoko" the drama, the main character who is an otaku often frequents the place.]

Page 24:
Subaru: (...with this...)
Subaru: (it's hard to go back to the apartment...)
Subaru: (If Ryo-kun was here at a time like this,)
[Ryoki is saying: You underdog!]
Subaru: (...no, he'd just make fun of me...)
Subaru: (...right now....)
[he's imagining a scene where Akane is telling Kazama "Cosplaying is creepy---, the cool guy type is better~"]

Page 25:
Akane: Who is it---
Subaru: Wah...ah....
Subaru: A-Akane-san?!
Akane: You're late coming home! Where were you?!
Akane: I've been waiting here for a long time since I came back!

Page 26:
Subaru: B-but don't you..
Subaru: hate me now...? Seeing me dressed up like that--
Akane: It made me jealous.
Subaru: Eh...?
Akane: When you're with me, you never look that happy.
Akane: I was just jealous of anime and Gundam because of it.

Page 27:
Akane: So! You don't have to quit Gundam and the other stuff.
Akane: You don't have to force yourself on my account.
Subaru: It's not...for you...
Subaru: It's because...I'm not fit for you at all...
Subaru: You're popular with the guys at school..
Subaru: and you have a cool guy like Kazama-san who likes you.
Subaru: That's why I..
Subaru: if I don't quit being an Otaku, I'll--
Akane: ...Senpai
Akane: Look at me.

Page 28:
Akane: Do I look good?
Subaru: Ah-ah-ah-ah---
Subaru: You look very cute!
Akane: Your friend lent it to me.
Akane: It's embarassing but compliment me more.
Subaru: I-is that Magical Purin?! H-how---
Akane: I did this as punishment for going when you told me not to come
Akane: so we're even now.
Akane: See?
Akane: We are fit for each other.

Page 29:
Subaru: Akane-san, I like you.
Subaru: I like you very much.

Page 30:
Akane: (Even though, it's a little bit at a time)

Page 31:
Akane: I'm really happy---but
Akane: you'll tell me that even if I'm not cosplaying, right?
Subaru: Ha...
Akane: (I wonder if our love has grown a step more.)

hmm its odd. How can it end like that ( talking about between Hatsumi, Ryoki,etc) So is Asusca ever going to get his revenge? geesh whats wrong with Shinoguo liking Hatsumi, to the point that he is going to be a monk? the hell, such disappointment!

Kazama is my favorite fictional person ever
he was fablous in this little side story
(he's adorable too ^.^)

Oh man this is the end?
the end of the end!
I am so unsatisfied
They could of squeezed out some more chapters detailing Azusa's revenge and Shingou's monkhood
Oh well at least I can stop this crazy hankering for the next volume
Now I just have to wait for everything to come out in english so I can re-read to my heart's content

OMGZ. I've read the translations done for books 10-12 and I LOVE THEM!!! I found them by googling Hot Gimmick ^_^ Thank you SO much for providing us who can't get them with the look at these volumes! Now I want to read the actual manga as well so I get the full picture. Sadness about Subaru not being an otaku geek anymore :/ He was soo cute as that ^_^

THANK YOU SO MUCH, Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you... me and my best friend both got started into "Hot Gimmick" when I was at a bookstore and found the first volume. Ever since then, we've been hooked on it literally, and we both live in Canada, so we have to wait ages for the english versions to come out. We have up to 10 volumes now, but when we googled "Hot Gimmick" for some pictures and websites, we found this and needless to say, we stuck like glue to this! Thank you so much for providing us with most of the story, and that we can finally understand along with the rest of the Japanese teens who are already way ahead of us -.-; so thanks so much and I really hope Miki will write more!

ahh, thank you so much for all of this! x] i'm seriously so grateful that you'd take the time to do this for other people.

i am kinda disappointed with the ending x| i mean...it was so...insensitive xD but i guess that's ryoki for you..which is why i think it should have been hatsu + shinogu. <333 to the twentieth power xD

aww, i love subaru and his nerdy self x]
