(Haru to Natsu)

Author: Takeda Sun

Synopsis: Makoto meets a sweet, shy girl named Haruna helping out at the school's athletics festival. He confesses his feelings for her the next time he sees her, and she bluntly rejects him, only to call him later and ask him out herself! The source of all these mixed signals is Haruna's "evil" twin sister, Natsumi. Natsumi is the opposite of Haruna, she's a forward, crude girl bent on taking whatever she can from her twin sister. Makoto is stuck in between Haruna and Natsumi, as they viciously fight over who will win him in the end.

Genre: Comedy, Ecchi, Romance, Seinen

---------------------------------------

Read chapter 1, and so far its pretty good. Really funny and the sister angle is good too. I think this looks promising. It is being scanlated by a good group (Animexis) as well, so that's a nice plus.
Got a little confusing telling them apart. I don't know how Haruna ended up in her underwear when she got tied up. I am guessing Natsumi stripped her or something. I don't know.

It's great! A little bit cliche, but really funny. I also like it's not a shounen, but seinen, so we won't see high school kids embarrassed because of kiss etc. It has also Nana to Kaoru vibes.

Read it earlier today. I'm hoping I'm not the only one who can't tell the difference between the two twins.

"orz The way the two switched made it impossible for me to tell who was who.

But that first chapter was fun...especially that end.The top. One had a bow tie and the other had a ribbon tie.

The top. One had a bow tie and the other had a ribbon tie.

Natsu was the one that had the top cut by the knife, he thought that the girl that won the fight was Haru, till she reverted to her evil self.

Welcome to the club....

I totally lost it when one of them came with a knife. I thought the one holding the knife was still Natsumi after the fight but when it turned to be Haruna... i kinda felt of a shock :heh: Poor guy, he totally got himself in big mess.

Wait so Natsu, was the one he was "Dating" at the end, the one who said she gets jeoluos easily?

well, he thought she was Haru. IT is confusing, Haru was the one that was in her underwear because Natsu took her clothes so she could pass herself as Haru. Haru left to get some cloth on. Natsu is trying to convince him to go out with her. Natsu got the knife to force him into kissing her. She cut her top with the knife, they fought and from his point of view he thought that Haru won. Then he realized she was Natsu when he saw her top. He is not going out with Natsu as much as she is FORCING him to go out with her. HE is still in love with Haru.

Then, Haru to the rescue?

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/haru_to_natsu/v01/c001/29.html

After the fight you have here Haru who's preparing dinner and has her top cut?

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/haru_to_natsu/v01/c001/31.html

Wtf is going on?

Haru put on exactly the same clothes she had on as before. Natsu took her clothes before. You can tell that the girl on the right was Heru when the knife went flying because her shirt is not cut. The one that fainted was Haru. The girl preparing the food is NATSU, the one laying down is Haru. Makoto thought that Haru won the fight, but when he saw her blouse, he saw it was cut thus she is actually Natsu. Makoto couldn't see the fight because he was kneeling down during it. Natsu knows how to act like Haru, so i guess this is not the first time she has done something like this.

That is completely out of character with Haruna's personality.

Saracin

Hmm, think I'll have to pay more attention to the characters in each chapter so I can tell them apart. But this is a good start and seems like an interesting manga. I can't wait to see how this develops without using too much of the "one sister replacing the other sister" gimmick.

Johnny

2009-11-06, 21:22

And where does it look like that either of these sister's have a sane personality? Of course I could point it out with what happens in the upcoming chapters, but I won't spoil. Look a few pages back from what was posted and you'll see the switch.

attention golthin is wrong...the psycho who uses a knife is haru not natsu

haru is a cheerful person meanwhile haruna is a timid person ( and a psycho WTF...)

I don't know why it is so hard to follow. Natsu is the girl in the last page.
The girl Makoto likes is Haruna. The girl that has the fatal attraction is Natsu because she likes to take the things that belong to Haruna.

here is the summary from the first page, it doesn't take a PHD to guess who is the evil one...

"Synopsis: Makoto meets a sweet, shy girl named Haruna helping out at the school's athletics festival. He confesses his feelings for her the next time he sees her, and she bluntly rejects him, only to call him later and ask him out herself! The source of all these mixed signals is Haruna's "evil" twin sister,Natsumi. Natsumi is the opposite of Haruna, she's a forward, crude girl bent on taking whatever she can from her twin sister. Makoto is stuck in between Haruna and Natsumi, as they viciously fight over who will win him in the end."

Okay. Let's try and iron this out.

1). http://www.mangafox.com/manga/haru_to_natsu/v01/c001/13.html
Note what each girl is wearing: Natsu, to the left, had (lol lucky guy, right?) a button up long sleeve shirt. Haru, to the right, has a spaghetti strap top with a ribbon tied on her chest.

2). http://www.mangafox.com/manga/haru_to_natsu/v01/c001/23.html
Natsu removed Haru's clothes and put them on her. Now she has the top with the bow tie. Also remember that Haru says "Kimura-kun" when addressing our lucky (maybe, lol) protagonist.

3). http://www.mangafox.com/manga/haru_to_natsu/v01/c001/26.html
Natsu, angry that he won't stay still runs to the kitchen

4). http://www.mangafox.com/manga/haru_to_natsu/v01/c001/29.html
Haru comes running in, after getting dressed, yelling, saying "Kimura-kun" and Natsu now has an evil face too.

5). http://www.mangafox.com/manga/haru_to_natsu/v01/c001/30.html
Haru is down for the count. Don't know why, in the top panel she was exclaiming her feelings.

6). http://www.mangafox.com/manga/haru_to_natsu/v01/c001/31.html
Kimura realizes that the girl in the kitchen is Natsu (after seeing her top cut open) and now she thinks she is going out with him.
And I use Manga Fox because I like it better. People complain about ads, but I use Firefox (which you all should be using) with the Adblock Plus Add-on, so I see zero ads. :p

Bonta Kun

2009-11-06, 23:18

I'm pretty sure thats Haruna at end

Natsumi is one with little ribbon and Haruna went to change and came back with kinda string tie one.

plus I don't think Natsumi is the cooking type:)

and yes everyone should be Firefox:p

Saracin

2009-11-06, 23:44

Yeah, after reading it a second time and looking at their outfits I'm sure now its Haruna in the end. When Makoto is lying on the floor tied up and Natsumi goes looking for something he's not looking, so we don't see that Haru walked in with the knife.

Something to think about is Natsu is looking in a closet for something, she didn't go to the kitchen so how could she be wielding the kitchen knife that Haru was already using to make dinner and was still using after the fight.

And with the clothes Haru started with the ribbon tie, then got stripped by Natsu and now Natsu had the ribbon tie. Haru ran off to get a new pair of clothes and ended up with a top with a thin tie.

Also one thing to remember is Natsu line to Haru about what she's got going on inside. I doubt Haru is dangerous, but both of these girls seem to have some issues lol

No matter what though we'll probably have a clear answer when chapter 2 is released, so lets not get into any arguments and just enjoy the manga.

yea I think Natsumi wants to date Kimura but I think more to the point she saw her shy twin sister wielding a giant kitchen knife which looked like she was gonna do something nasty.

Reason I think Haruna kissed Kimura was cause she is abit naive, she takes her sister's words seriously that Kimura wouldn't be interested in a girl her, so she tries to be more forward hence the kissing and undressing, just she went about it a little differently than what you'd expect:heh:

golthin

2009-11-07, 00:55

Why did Haru have the knife? Poor choice of tools to free him? AHH! Was I right the first time? I don't know anymore. Its too late for this, maybe after a good nights rest I can think about it more. lol.

Lol, lets just give up! if they can't follow the plot let em believe what they want. There is a reason
the author has Haruna call him "kun" while the other doesn't. You did a good job of show they progression of the plot and how each girl was dressed differently.

The girl at the end is Haru not Natsu. Remember that Natsu said to Haru about "Do you really think Kimura-kun would be satisfied with a girl like you?" line. Haru leaves upset then Natsu pulls down on he's zipper down there but he resist she gets angry so she leaves for whatever reason, then the girl who Kimura thinks that returns is "Natsu" holding a knife she kisses him and cuts her blouse then the other girl Kimura thinks returns is "Haru" saying "what are you doing!?" they fight one loses, with HARU saying "I'm the one who likes Kimura-kun". It's pretty obvious that the real Haru said that. If it was Natsu it wouldn't have made sense since she doesn't like him like Haru does to the point that Haru was teary eye whe she said "I'm the one who likes Kimura-kun".

You see the thing is the girl Kimura thought who had kiss him and was holding the knife to cut her blouse during the previous scene was Natsu but in fact dun dun dun it was Haru. Haru says that "I can get pretty jealous sometimes" he realizes it was her after seeing her cut blouse which shocks him. Showing that she herself HARU is mess up when she's jealous. So the girl he's going out with Haru but he better not make her jealous. :heh:

golthin

2009-11-07, 02:20

eh I believe they both call him Kimura-kun, if not I must be reading it all wrong.

only Haruna had called him Kimura-kun before the parts where they can begin to get confused.

frubam

2009-11-07, 03:03

Damn this is confusing D=! I thought it was Haru at first, but it does seem like its Natsu at the end. You can see the unconscious sister doesn't have a tie in the middle of her shirt, so that must be Haru. Plus in the panel just before that, there's no way to tell whether that's Natsu or Haru declaring their feelings. We can only ASSUME its Haru...

WAIT!!! Now that I think about it, the girl with the knife HAS to be Haru. Remember Natsu was searching in the closet for something. Their isn't going to be a kitchen knife in the closet(you can tell its a closet by what is being tossed out). Haru comes back with the kitchen knife, cuts her dress(her dress is different than the panel where Natsu says "You're a bad loser, stay right there."), and then because Kimura was stumbling around, he thought the person that came back was Haru, but it was actually Natsu... Oh, i somehow missed that ZODDGUTS explained it better >.>.

Thats before the mix up.

To be honest, I thought the difference in shirts was due to the author being lazy on certain details depending on the panel so I dismissed the difference.

Actually after its revealed they are twins, Natsumi says "Well Kimura-kun feel like a date?"
Thats before the mix up.That is true. So I was wrong there too. But you had a good handle of it all, bravo.

Can only scanlate when you have a translation. Hop on MH and thank the translator, maybe he'll be more motivated translate it faster.

And I'm pretty sure the magazine isn't released monthly. If it was, there'd be a lot more chapters than there already are.

Lummie

2010-02-10, 15:08

Wow i actually pity Kimura for not recognizing his Haruna. You gotta admit it, Natsumi is pretty devious when it comes to trying to steal her sisters boyfriend but it also seems that Haruna is pretty scary when it comes to her sister Natsu, :heh: Either way, i loved the chaos in the pool when everyone discovered that both sisters were naked and that Kimura had to pay a heavy price for covering Haruna. Also Haruna getting hot from wearing his pants was pretty funny :)

Bonta Kun

2010-02-11, 03:09

haha that was pretty good, Haruna's jealous/yandere side is surprisingly cute:eyespin:(no matter what anyone says, yandere really isn't cute, cool in a weird way but not cute)
You do indeed have to pity the lad for not noticing, if he doesn't get a grasp on that matter soon it's gonna lead him into the depths of hell:heh:

so I'll have a guess and say the "classmate" might end up turning out to be more than just a "classmate" well I'm just wondering(shouldn't have to hope here) who will turn up later to spice things up:D

Also it's a lucky/unlucky git type of thing, super hawt twins gunning for ya but the one that is your girlfriend will chop your manhood off if you cross her:uhoh::heh:.....wait that ain't something to laugh about:heh:.....

Sorry, but I wasn't as impressed by this chapter as I was the first one. This chapter fell to the bottom for me once he stupidly called Haruna's house and assumed Haruna was the one that he was speaking to. You'd think it'd click with him that after Natsu said "...movie!?", Kimura would be like "OH ****" in his head, but he went as though nothing could have happened. This made me think he was just incompetent here, and that ruined the entire flow of the chap for me. I'd probably have loved it otherwise.I think you're being a little too harsh on the guy. It was the first time it happened, if he did it again then I'd agree with you. I'm sure he learned his lesson though. :heh:

I have to agree that that part was rather hugely stupid, when I knew he was gonna make the call I knew it would be Natsu that would pick up and I thought we'd get some sorta odd phone conversation but nope it's just male lead being male lead.
while that part did irk me, I'm willing to let it go since we got the girls in their swimsuits:D

I agree with you, the author had to dumb him down for it to work.

I still liked it, though.
