Man, cleaning sucks.

At least we're not cleaning the bathrooms.

I guess.

Wow, this brings back memories.

What are these called? Mini keyboards? Portable pianos?

Oh, yeah. What was it?

Let me see.

Oh, there's a bunch of stuff here.

It's on the tip of my tongue.

Same.

Hey, check this out.

I used to play with these all the time in kindergarten.

Hey, don't ignore me!

That's just a tape recorder. I saw one at my grandpa's place.

Mukai/Hirose.

Not bad. What about the reverse?

That works, too.

Let's take a moment to consider Mukai/Takeuchi.

What? No way.

But a cheerful bottom is a sure winner.

Right?

How about a love triangle?

Tell us more.

What are these called, Nakamura?

Huh? Uh, a melodica?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, that's it.

Then, Takeuchi gets jealous of Hirose.

And that's how the story begins.

That'd be cute.

Hey, it turned on.

Because you pushed the record button.

What?

Time for an impression.

Oh, c'mon.

I'm quite thorough, so prepare yourselves!

You sound just like him.

Cut it out.

Quit goofing off and clean.

Yikes.

Sorry.

It's over. Lucky us.

Honestly. You'd better do it properly tomorrow.

Yes, ma'am.

Should we go, too?

My name is Kawamura Hifumi, aged 15.

I'm just an ordinary high school student.

Thanks for waiting.

Hey, could you draw that later?

I'd love to see it, too.

Then, maybe I will.

I'm shy and a fujoshi.

Wait, Could This Be Love?!

Okay, everyone. Settle down.

Sketching Event

Today, we'll be sketching.

We'll choose one of your classmates to model for us.

Sketching, huh? What a drag.

Since today's the 20th, we'll go with...

I know. Number 20: Hirose-kun.

Aw, what?

What?

What?! Hirose is modeling?

All you have to do is sit in the middle.

Yes.

Yes.

Sit here.

Yes.

Hell yes!

Now I can sit and stare at Hirose!

Can I read a book?

Sure.

I've waited so long for this day!

I'll burn all the things I see while sneaking glances into my mind.

He's so cute.

His eyes are so sparkly. His lashes are so long.

His lips are so plump.

The more I look at him, the cuter he becomes.

He's perfect.

I can't stop drawing!

Oh, man. I'm too good at this.

Hirose is cuter than this, but my drawing's the best in the class.

What's going on? I feel like someone's watching me.

It's hard to draw while being watched.

I'm done.

Okay, that's it for today.

You can leave once you've cleaned up.

This is hard.

Good work, Hirose-kun.

My shoulders hurt.

What was that about? What did I do?

That freaked me out. I'm going back to my classroom.

Um, excuse me.

Wh-What's your name?

H-He followed me!

I-Is he hitting on me?

What's your name? Wanna go out?

No, wait. There's no way.

I-It's Kawamura.

Kawamura-san.

I'm a fan!

Could I have that drawing?

Kawamura-san, I'm a fan

Kawamura-san, I'm a fan

What? N-No way!

I-Is that a no?

Huh? N-No, uh, it's yours if you want it.

H-Here.

Th-Thank you.

Hooray! Hooray!

I've never had a fan before.

Thank you so much.

S-Sure!

Nakamura-kun.

Are you stupid?

All right. I leveled up.

You watching this anime?

Yeah.

I'm into Yoshida/Ohyama.

I get it. I'm actually into Yamamoto/Uebayashi.

Sheesh, that's niche.

No, actually...

What about you, Hifumi? Hello?

Oh, s-sorry. What is it?

The latest episode was awesome.

Yeah, it was great.

Let's watch it later.

Which boys are you into?

What?!

Your ship.

Which boys in our class do you ship?

Oh, that's what they meant.

I-I thought Hirose-kun was kind of cute when I sketched him.

Hirose?

I get it!

Yeah, he gets along with everyone! Total bicycle, total bottom!

Go ahead.

With your permission.

She works faster than the eye can see!

There it is! The kabedon!

Thank you, thank you!

Nothing beats your work, Hifumi.

What else have you been drawing?

Don't look!

Who's that? A manga character?

Th-This is, um...

N-Nakamura-kun.

Nakamura?

What? Why? Do you like him?

But he looks like someone drew a face on a mushroom.

A-A mushroom? I wouldn't say that!

You wouldn't get it.

His eyes, normally hidden behind his bangs,

are so clear and earnest when you see them up close.

Kawamura-san, I'm a fan!

What?

I don't get it.

Speak of the devil.

You should ask him out, Hifumi.

What?

He's definitely single.

Why don't you give him a portrait?

What?

No way. What are you saying?

You'll never make any progress otherwise.

I-I can't. I've barely even spoken to him—

Then, I'll do it for you.

Don't!

Why not?

Don't be such a coward.

Yeah. Come on.

Okay, okay. Hey, wait.

Sorry, Hifumi.

This sucks.

He must hate me now.

I'm sorry!

Sorry!

I shouldn't have drawn that.

Kawamura-san.

Do you have a second?

Uh, yes?

Um, here.

What? Is he giving me a love—

Could you draw me and Hirose being friends in this?

What?

We've got PE next.

Hey, wait up.

H-Here you are.

Nakamura-kun and Hirose-kun's Everyday Life

Nakamura-kun and Hirose-kun's Everyday Life

Nakamura-kun and Hirose-kun's Everyday Life

U-Um, what do you think?

I can't believe you drew a whole manga.

I'm a huge fan, Kawamura-san.

Thank you so much.

See you next time. Later.

N-Next time?

Now I have an excuse to talk to Nakamura-kun.

Are Nakamura and Hirose friends?

Dunno.

While Shimada-sensei is out, I'll be overseeing your physical education.

I'm Niou Kaoru.

Unlike Shimada-sensei, I'm quite thorough, so prepare yourselves.

First, we're changing from badminton to volleyball.

Ugh, volleyball? Seriously?

This is gonna be brutal.

Poor boys.

Niou-sensei is famous for being strict.

I'm glad the girls are on a different schedule.

I got us a shuttle.

Anyway, you're lucky, Hifumi.

Huh?

We have PE with the boys today.

You'll get to see Nakamura.

What?

I-I'm not...

Come on, guys!

Takeuchi, that was your ball!

Don't rely on your teammates! Go get it!

Y-Yes, sir.

I can't hear you!

Don't forget that you're a team!

Yes, sir!

Okay, next group, you're up!

Man, this is brutal for PE class.

Nakamura's next.

What?

Maybe Nakamura will be surprisingly good at volleyball.

What?

Yikes.

So you can judge a book by its cover.

Nakamura-kun looked so cool trying to get the ball.

Ow. Damn it.

Why am I the only one who has to do extra practice?

Nobody likes a hard-ass anymore.

They're just strict. "Never give up," my foot.

Hup.

Wait, Kawamura-san?

What are you doing over here?

He's coming over!

Uh, um, I happened to find this while cleaning up.

Whoa, mice.

They built a nest here.

I actually like mice and think they're pretty cute.

Oh, sorry. I guess some people don't like them.

Yeah, they're cute.

You're a nice person, aren't you?

A nice person...

You're a nice person, aren't you?

Nice? He called me nice?

Nakamura-kun called me nice.

H-Hirose?

What are you doing?

Ah! He's coming over!

Oh, uh, l-l-look at this. Look.

Wow, mice. Baby mice, too.

Right? We were talking about how cute they are.

But if someone else finds them, they might get rid of them.

Should we hide them with equipment?

Oh, sure.

I can't stop watching.

Right?

"Ka-chunk"?

Crap. We're locked in.

What? No way.

Hey! Let us out!

Someone help!

It's no use. Everyone left.

Why'd they close the door without checking first?

What should we do? Will someone notice we're missing?

They'll probably notice during homeroom.

Yeah. There's nothing to worry about.

We can pass the time by chatting.

Okay.

Five Minutes Later

Don't you get hungry after PE?

What do you crave right now? I want potato chips.

Uh, takoyaki?

Taiyaki for me, I think.

Those are great choices.

I wish I had a cola, too.

10 Minutes Later

Then, Takeuchi did an impression of Niou.

20 Minutes Later

It's pretty hot today.

True.

Yeah.

30 Minutes Later

One Hour Later

Nobody's coming.

Yeah.

Nobody knows we're missing.

Damn, it's hot. I'm thirsty.

What should I do?

The situation is pretty bad, but...

My heart is racing because I'm trapped in a room with Hirose!

My heart is racing because I'm trapped in a room with Nakamura-kun!

I'm so close to Hirose.

Ah, I wish I could stay here all night.

I-I wish I could stay here with Nakamura-kun all night.

Aw, man. I'm starting to feel listless.

Should we distract ourselves somehow?

G-Good idea. We could play word chain.

Ah, nice one.

Okay, I'll start. Word chain.

N... Nutria.

A? A... A...

Are you guys crushing on anyone?

No, no, no, no, no!

Me neither!

Huh.

Me neither.

Uh, what letter are we on?

I-I forgot.

Oh, crud. I passed out for a second.

Are you two...

Hirose fell asleep. He must've been tired.

Th-This situation...

Treasure

Tumble, tumble, roll along.

Wh-What's going on? Am I actually unbelievably lucky?

That scared me.

Peek.

A-Almost! So close.

I-I'm almost touching Hirose's...

I-I can faintly smell him.

I'm... I'm so happy.

Hey.

Good.

Hey, are you guys okay?

Ah, Otogiri-sensei. Took you long enough.

Sorry.

I'll go get water.

You're drenched in sweat. We've got a stretcher.

I'm fine.

I'm just a little dazed.

D-D-Did he see me?

I'm really sorry.

What?

As your teacher, I was careless.

Say something if you feel unwell in the future.

Y-Yes, sir.

I contacted your parents.

It's late, so I'll drive you home.

Seriously? Nice.

Thank you.

By the way, Nakamura...

You shouldn't sniff people without their permission.

I-I-I-I didn't do anything!

Is that right?

Excuse me!

Take care.

Damn it. He did see me.

Ah, I screwed up.

Now that I think about it, it was creepy.

Whoa, is your car new?

No, I got it used.

Huh.

I guess the silver lining is Hirose didn't notice.

It's so cool, though.

N-Niou-sensei won't tell anyone, right?

What was that?

W-Was I leaning on Nakamura-kun?

I-I'm so...

Nakamura-kun and Hirose-kun?

Huh? What?

Hey, what's it like to drive?

Kawamura-san, are you okay?

Huh?

You've been quiet, so I thought you might be sick.

Huh? Oh, no. I'm fine.

I was just thinking.

I see. Glad to hear it.

Yeah, thanks.

Nakamura-kun is so nice.
