Since the morning of the first day of our school festival,

our campus has been abuzz with all of the visitors and families.

And the afternoon looks like it will be even more exciting.

TAKOYAKI

FRANKFURTERS TAIYAKI

GRILLED SQUID

OKONOMIYAKI

Whoa!

Amazing!

Whoa!

That looks so good!

Take care, my grown-up little Sayu.

At the fireworks show later...

It could be the perfect opportunity for you two late bloomers.

The perfect opportunity?

Hey, Amane.

Hey, Sayu's big sis.

Oh?

Yo, Sayu's big sis.

What are you wearing?

This is a Heisei era gal costume.

Wait, I didn't know you boys were coming too.

"Too" meaning...

No way.

Is she here?!

Uh, actually, Sayu just left.

Too bad. Huh.

I guess you wanted to see her. Sorry.

Huh? I totally didn't say that.

We only came to tease Kotoko!

S-Sayu's big sis, t-take us to your classroom!

They're so adorably obvious!

Why are you making that face?

Oh yeah? I think Sayu would have loved to see you, though.

Huh?

I-If she really wanted to meet up, then I guess I do too.

Huh? Well, then so do I!

Don't look at me like that!

GALS CAN'T BE KIND TO OTAKU?!

ELEVENTH HOUR "ZING!"

Yay! Full steam ahead until the very end!

Yeah!

The Heisei gal is way too cute!

Tankies!

Well, come on in.

I request you, Kotoko!

'Preciate it! But we don't take requests.

I want to take a picture with you, Kotoko!

Fine with me!

Get me some tea, Sis.

Coming u—

Kakeru? Hibiki? What are you...

I mean, when did you get here?

Why are you dressed like that?

Hilarious.

I told you not to come because I'm busy!

Yeah, but Gen said, "Go take her picture."

And gave us an allowance.

You sell out too easily!

Are those two...

Ijichi's younger brothers?

Oh, wow! They're both so adorable!

You look like your sister, Kakeru-kun.

Hibiki-kun, you could probably be a model.

I bet you're really popular at school.

How many girls have asked you out so far?

Do you have any girls you like yet?

N-No way, man. Right?

Yeah.

You totally do!

So, what kind of girls do you like? Cheery ones like your sister?

The same thing happened to Sayu.

That's why I told them not to come.

You'd better rescue them, Ijichi.

Okay, okay! That's enough.

Their big sis will answer the rest of your questions.

Amane, watch them for a minute?

Sure thing. Okay, come with me, boys.

Go with Amane and get something to drink.

She's such a big sister.

Big Sis Ijichi...

There we go.

Here you are.

Oh, you boys came too?

Good timing, Otaku-kun.

Can you watch them for a bit?

I have to go and get changed.

Yes, of course!

I haven't seen Kakeru and Hibiki since summer...

Oh!

They look dead inside!

They got surrounded just like Sayu did.

Wh-What should we do?

Hmm...

All right.

When Ijichi comes over to spend the night,

you two can come with her.

Nah, that's boring.

Why do we have to go?

Sayu will be there.

Huh?

She will?

Nice! Let's hang out, Otacchi!

Gimme your phone.

Got any cool games?

They've recovered?!

Nice work, Amane-san!

You really managed to capture their hearts!

I guess.

Good for you, boys.

Who cares?

Why don't you come too, Otaku-kun?

Huh? Is that all right?

Yeah. I think Ijichi was expecting you, anyway.

Yeah, Kotoko would love to see you.

Good for you, Otacchi.

Yeah!

I better get going.

Okay, Otaku-kun, look after them.

Roger that.

Whoa! Awesome!

You are very good.

Nah, this is a breeze.

Okay, folks, it's time to close up shop.

Cosplay staff, take turns getting changed.

Okay!

COSPLAY CAFE

To wrap up the first day, Ishikawa-senpai is playing a concert in the gym.

Huh? Really? Let's go, let's go!

Ijichi-san!

Hmm?

Shall I walk Kakeru-kun and Hibiki-kun to the front gate while you're changing?

Huh? Will you?

I've got nothing else to do.

Then I'll take you up on that.

We should get a move on, boys.

Oh. Wait just a second.

Huh?

Let's snap a pic together before I change!

I won't let you go until we take one together.

Smile! Okay, cheese!

Agh!

Thanks for babysitting my brothers for me.

It was no trouble at all.

Oh.

That picture...

What's wrong?

Nothing. Just a little déjà vu.

Oh! I remember that day!

Your hair was all messed up, Otaku-kun.

We hadn't really talked much yet then.

I really treasure this picture.

This was when I was starting to get to know you and Amane-san. And, well...

I don't know how to put this,

but I think it captured the beginning of something.

O-Of course, I'm sure it wasn't a big deal for you, Ijichi-san.

Look, Otaku-kun...

Hmm?

You know the fireworks show? After the festival?

Yes?

That's gonna be so much fun!

Yeah, I think so too!

Anyway, I'll go see Kakeru-kun and Hibiki-kun off.

Thanks!

See ya, Otacchi.

Later, man.

Please be careful on the way home, okay?

The concert is starting!

A concert? I don't remember hearing anything about that.

Looks like everybody already left.

Day one of the school festival...

It was kind of fun after all!

I think it's helping me to feel more comfortable in class too.

Welcome back, Otaku-kun.

Thanks for seeing my brothers off.

What are you two doing here?

Waiting for you, of course.

We wouldn't ditch you with my brothers and run off to have fun by ourselves.

I-I suppose not.

Everyone else went to the gym for the concert.

What do you want to do?

I'm not exactly into stuff like that.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Okay then,

why don't the three of us sneak off for a mini-celebration of our own?

A mini celebration?

Yeah, that sounds great!

And luckily, we have a green room that'd be perfect for this sort of thing.

Huh? W-Wait. That's fine with me, but are you both sure?

Aren't people expecting you in the gym?

Right now, I just want to hang out with you two.

So this is cool with me.

What about you, Otaku-kun?

Yeah, me too!

Hey, punks! You havin' a good time?!

Yeah!

We're making this the best school festival ever!

Now here's our last number, "Godbreak."

Yeah!

COSPLAY CAFE

Whoa. I got a ton of DMs from Mayu.

I got some from Shion.

Sorry, Otaku-kun.

We should swing by the gym.

Don't worry about me.

I'll just be on my way.

That was so much fun!

Ijichi! Amane!

Sorry, I didn't see your DMs. What's up?

We still haven't taken a picture yet.

A photo of us together on the first day of the festival!

Yeah, good idea.

Photo time, photo time!

Can we be in it too?

Yeah, totally!

Okay, here we go.

All right.

Maybe I shouldn't have taken up their time.

Hey, I blinked! Do another one.

Okay, here goes again.

Okay.

SCHOOL FESTIVAL

The media committee's "Quiz King" finals are this way!

We'll have that grilled squid ready for you in a minute!

Forget grilled squid! How about some takoyaki?!

CAMPUS MAP

Now, where should we go?

Today is when the clubs and committees hold events, right?

Yeah. Are there any you wanted to see?

Hmm...

The tea club!

The kendo club might be fun too!

Then why don't we go check them out?

Nice. Let's get the most out of...

day two of the festival!

Yeah!

KENDO CLUB WHACK-A-MOLE!

Get 'em, Ijichi!

Do it!

Ouch!

Ow!

Time's up! You got twelve points.

Anyone who scores over ten gets a fancy prize!

I did it!

Ooh!

Yay!

ONCE IN A LIFETIME

So bitter!

THE SCHOOL FESTIVAL TRADITION

What should we see next?

Wanna try the student council's cafe?

Hey, Seo.

What's up?

O-Oh, hello.

The pageant, huh?

I heard some of the planners talking,

and it sounds like Ijichi and Amane are probably gonna take it for first year.

Wow.

We're all in the same class,

but it feels like they're from another world.

But you're always hanging out with them, Seo.

No kidding.

Well, they feel like they're from another world to me too.

I guess they would.

Crap, Quiz King is about to start!

Serious? We gotta run.

See you, Seo!

Y-Yeah, okay.

THE SCHOOL FESTIVAL TRADITION

Another world, huh?

HISTORY CLUB HISTORY QUIZ BATTLE!

Wow, that was so hard!

But it was still so much fun.

Ijichi! Ijichi!

C'mere.

What's up?

Aren't there, like, way more couples than there were yesterday?

I was just thinking that!

It's totally that school festival magic!

Everyone's in the festival mood, so they're all pairing off!

Well, I wouldn't want to date someone just as a fling.

Oh? So you'd want someone who's seriously into you?

Yeah, being serious is super important.

But that's not the only thing.

They have to be humble enough to say "thank you" and "I'm sorry" too.

I'd also want someone soft-spoken, kind to children,

and passionate about their own interests. Also...

Oh? Do you have someone specific in mind?

Yeah, O—

Oh?

O-O...

Omelet rice!

Like the food?

What's going on?

Well, Ijichi's suddenly obsessed with om—

Never you mindy-mind!

Shall we hit the field next?

I'm kind of thirsty, so Shion and I are gonna grab some drinks first.

O-Okay, then we'll go on ahead.

Let's go, Mayu!

O-Okay.

Now that I think of it...

DAY 2, 3:00 PM DRAMA CLUB WELCOME HOME MAID CAFE

I haven't talked to him at all today.

STRAWBERRY MILK

Amane! Thanks for waiting.

They're at the field, right?

Yeah.

Okay, let's go.

The archery club is doing a shooting range!

We've got lots of nice prizes!

The archery club, huh?

It's almost like a game at a fair.

Wanna give it a shot?

Nah, let's go.

I doubt they have any interesting prizes anyway.

Isn't that...

LORD

Lord Catfish?!

I would like to play once.

Amane?!

Okay, here you go.

If you hit a prize with a cork, you get to keep it.

Understood.

Amane seems super focused.

Is there something she wants?

Wait, that's...

that fancy brand of nail oil!

Um, where did you get your prizes?

The club members brought things from home that they weren't using or were left over.

There might be some real finds in there.

So someone must have donated it without realizing its value.

That must be what Amane set her sights on.

Ah! So close!

Yes!

Wait. You weren't aiming for the nail oil?

O-Oh, yeah. I was aiming for the thing next to this,

but I'm glad I at least got something.

Oh. Makes sense.

Thank you very much!

LORD

This was the secret first-generation Glittermon capsule toy!

I can't wait to brag about this to Otaku-kun.

But where is he anyway? Otaku-kun...

Yeah!

Say, at the fireworks show, you and I should hold hands and find happiness!

Sorry! I already made plans with a friend.

A-Amane-san! At the fireworks show...

I'm sorry. I already have plans.

Come to our concert later, everybody!

And then, after that, let's see the fireworks...

Right, the "just ask everyone" approach.

You're so pretty, Kei-chan.

And so cool!

Th-Thanks.

Isn't everyone just a little too pushy?

Yeah, it's crazy.

So, what are your plans for the fireworks, Ijichi?

What about you?

CLOSING CEREMONY FIREWORKS HOLD HANDS TO FIND HAPPINESS

I don't really care about holding anyone's hand.

I know that stuff about finding happiness is just a rumor.

Right?

If it was true, if we all held hands together, we'd all be happy.

But I dunno. If I had to pick someone,

I'd probably be okay with Otaku-kun.

Yeah, me too.

Only if he said he wanted to, I mean.

No chance.

No chance.

But what are we gonna do?

If guys keep asking me to go with them,

I don't know if I can take it.

Yeah, I feel bad saying no.

It's exhausting.

I know.

Wanna just call it

and go with me instead?

Do that mean...

Together...

We'll find eternal happiness?

Hey, it's time for the next—

I-I didn't see anything!

I guess the cat's out of the bag.

We'll have to keep her from talking.

LIBRARY

QUIET IN THE LIBRARY!

Ah, this is so relaxing.

I'm not meeting up with anyone,

and walking around the festival alone would be awkward.

I'm so glad I thought of this place.

Hey, did you hear the rumor?

About what?

I heard this from an upperclassman,

but the winners of the "Miss and Mister" pageant usually start dating.

What? That's so cliche!

But I guess it makes sense

if everyone agrees that they're the most attractive boy and girl in our grade.

For first year, maybe it'll be Kotoko in Class A?

Yeah, but don't forget Amane-chan.

And for the Mister title?

Hmm, maybe like Kaoru-kun or Hashiba-kun.

Then the two of them go to the after-party?

And if they watch the fireworks holding hands...

No way! That's too perfect!

Did you find the book you wanted?

I did, I did.

Then let's go.

The most attractive boy and girl in our grade, huh?

Ijichi-san and...

Amane-san.

I'm sure they have better options than me.

Wh-What is this feeling?

Don't I want them both to be happy?

Then...

Why do I suddenly feel so anxious?

GALS CAN'T BE KIND TO OTAKU?!

LET'S FIND SOME FRIENDS!
