Kojiro Abe leans into Sukeren, finally setting into motion The Big Kiss he’s been planning all sleepless drunken nervous night. Early morning sun howl leaking in a tiny bit from a crack between frosted window and steel shutter. He can see she’s just a lump in that bed now with black eye shadow punctuation marks that have endured rain, a quick shower, and a dip in the jacuzzi over the last few hours. Does she never, ever take it off? More mysteries, but he’s more than sure she’s least half awake. Impossible to gauge how she feels. They can barely communicate without dictionaries and drawings. The hotel as dragon’s cave, her robe thick as armored scales. His brave deed for the day comes out half-cocked. It’s a kiss all right, but one destined to wind up on her cheek. Sukeren blinks and Abe is off to ride the first Doubutsu-sen. Only the hidden cameras in the elevators and lobby see him totter out.

I'm not sure, but it looks as if Mr. Koike is describing a scene in MAD BULL 34.
