• They keep telling me,
    'Start reading adult's books'.
    'You have to grow up'.
    'You have to learn maths more and more'.
    'You have to study everything'.
    'You've got to be interested in everything'.

    I don't feel like growing up at all.
    I don't want to stop reading manga.
    I don't want to study maths.
    I don't want to become an adult.
    I don't want to stop playing
    our role-playing game.

    Can't you see that I'm
    not reading manga
    only because I like it,
    but also because I want to learn English?
    Can't you see that I'm
    trying hard to learn Japanese?

    Why does it always have to be maths?

    They're saying, you're fifteen next summer.
    You'll soon be an adult.
    Four or five years.
    No way I can become grown up in such a short amount of time!

    Are you really saying that I'll
    Stop looking up to children three years younger than me?
    Start reading world literature?
    Move away from home?

    You tell me to change my way of life again,
    just when I've gotten used to this one.
    To change my personality and interests this year too.

    You're trying to take the ground away from under me again,
    when I've just recently become stable.

    I'm still the same spoiled child as always, you know.
