I WANT TO PROTECT YOU by Kawaii-chan

I'm late for school... again.

Ever since enrolling,

FACULTY ROOM

you've consistently gotten perfect scores on Japanese-language practice exams.

You even won numerous literary awards.

1ST-YEAR CLASS 2 HOMEROOM TEACHER SATOMI HIRATSUKA

That's freaking amazing, Mizunoe.

HIGH SCHOOL 1ST-YEAR UME MIZUNOE

Oh, no, I don't deserve such praise.

Don't act all humble.

Your average score didn't even break 50!

The letters gently rise up and dance before my eyes.

They tell me, "This is what the author intended.

You could become like this too if you immersed yourself in literature.

Seriously? I better watch out.

But seriously, how impressive.

You're polite and well-behaved, and well-liked by teachers too.

Perhaps I overdid it?

No, seriously.

I'd never have guessed you'd have to repeat a year.

Huh? What? I have to repeat a year? Me? But why?

Why? Are you really that surprised?

What the hell are these catastrophic scores in the science subjects?!

Look, this time, even I, as your homeroom teacher, can't...

Yes... I suppose even you can't cover this up for me.

They're gonna cut my bonus!

What a shitty teacher!

TODAY'S PATTERN

These grades will hurt your chances of a recommendation.

What do you mean, "What? Of course it will!

This really isn't good. I wish there were something I could do for you.

But there's only so much you can do to improve your academic standing...

GOOD IDEA!

Oh, yeah: How about you join the student council?

The student council? That's so random.

TODAY'S PATTERN

Yeah, sounds good. That would improve your academic standing.

You'd be a key figure in supporting your fellow students.

But what about my club activities?

Even you, who can't get a date, can have a winning high-school life!

- All right! Student council! - Sounds sketchy.

Well, someone recently dropped out, so I was actually in a bit of a bind.

So this was all about you, after all.

No, you idiot.

I'd miss you too if you weren't around next year.

I'm count on you personally, too, okay?

Sensei...!

All right! It's decided! Bonus cut avoided! Good work!

Now time to go home, eat, masturbate and sleep!

You could have kept it up.

MALE BRATS ALSO HAVE HOLES...

So this is the student council room.

Look at it, all high and mighty, like it's some symbol of authority. I can't stand it.

Oh, my. You must be...

HIGH SCHOOL 2ND-YEAR ARISU TERUI

Ume Mizunoe! We've been expecting you.

SMILE SMILE

Hello.

She's so beautiful!

You must be my senpai at student council. It's very nice to meet you...

Senpai...

Oh, yes. I'm your senpai. You're making me blush.

What a cute person. Perhaps the student council isn't so bad after all.

Now, let's go inside.

- We did it! We really did it! - Okay.

It's finally finished! The Tatsuko Mk.32 self-propelled Form G!

We did it! We'll definitely win the robot competition now!

No running in the hallway.

- No! Mk.32! - Now, come on in.

Keep going! You can still...

Keep going! You can still...

Let me introduce myself. I'm Terui, the treasurer.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Ah, yes.

And I'm Mizunoe, a first-year.

She's being this polite to a kohai.

Maybe I was imagining things earlier.

Oh, our eyes just met.

- She's a scary person! - Hello!

Are you the new person?!

You're even more handsome than I heard!

MIDDLE SCHOOL 3RD YEAR TAN OTORI

You're Mizunouchi-senpai, right? Those glasses are super lit!

It's Mizunoe! Who are you?! Don't just touch me...

Your eyes!

They're looking at my nipples!

Oh, yes. Wait, what?!

Oh, my. Men are so simple! So dirty!

No, that's not... Wait, who are you? Are you on the student council?!

Don't change the subject!

We're talking about you peeking at me, remember, paisen?

Well, well, paisen! Since you've been caught, you've gotta pay up!

Since it's your first offense, I'll cut a break and call it 5,000 yen...

I'm sorry.

He's part of the student council, but has a habit of hitting on guys.

- He does it all the time. - Why let them join?

Let me introduce you. This is Tan, in charge of PR.

Believe it or not, he's a male human.

These people are on the student council? The world is going downhill.

Wait, he's a guy?!

Wasn't that pretty obvious once his nipples showed up? On TV?

Yeah, I guess so.

Well, he might be female now, though.

The floor's a mess.

Could you please wipe it up with this? I'd appreciate it.

Of course.

So my first job is dealing with a pervert's mess.

This rag is shaped weird.

TEDDY BEAR

Boo! Surprise! Just kidding!

Was that a dirty joke?!

Oh, is this not your kind of thing?

No, I... It's not about that!

Just... please have some standards!

Sorry, I'm late!

The meeting with the higher-ups ran long!

HIGH SCHOOL 3RD YEAR HISAKO KOTOBUKI

The new person's here... right?

- Those are my panties! - What? Who's that?

What the heck are you doing?!

No! I was just...

That's a lost item I found yesterday.

- What?! - A lost item?

I jumped to quite the conclusion.

- Senpai... - It's not what you think!

She's super easy to read.

What's with this blood?

I'm sorry, even if I didn't realize it... Nam.

Oh, by the way, Ume.

The busty one washing her panties is the student council president.

STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT HISAKO

That's the student council president?

She may not look the part, but she's brilliant, athletic, and respected.

Don't judge her just because she's washing her panties!

That girl?

Sorry about that, Mizunoe. Let me finally introduce myself.

I'm Kotobuki, the student council president.

Let me just go over your duties quickly.

Okay.

Here's the organizational chart for the student council and related organizations.

I've also put together documents detailing the duties of each role.

I know it's a lot, but please read everything by the end of the week.

Impressive. It's laid out so everything is clear at a glance.

And this is a project I'm leading myself.

It's mainly focused on engaging with the local community.

No rush on this one, so please look it over when you have the time.

You really are the student council president.

Huh? Well, yeah.

You almost became known as the "panty person."

Well, then, let's get to it! I'd like you to take on the role of secretary.

What?

Japanese is one of your strong subjects. I'm counting on you!

Well... I do tend to come in first on practice exams.

Wow, that's amazing! How do you get scores that high?

Ah.

A command of the Japanese language can't be acquired overnight.

It's cultivated through the way you regard language in your everyday life and the state of your minds.

That's why I try not to see words as mere tools,

but rather to appreciate the hidden beauty within them.

In short, I suppose you could say I simply love the language.

Oh... That's so cringe.

What did you say?!

All right, Mizunoe!

For today, let's start by having you observe everyone at work.

What? Observe? But aren't I the secretary?

The thing is, there isn't a whole lot for the secretary to do,

so I'd like you to help out with everyone else's work too.

Help out? So, basically...

cleaning after them, huh?

Then, let's start with me! I'm in charge of PR!

PUBLIC RELATIONS TAN OTORI

So obnoxious.

Um, yeah, sure. Thanks...

Oh, but I'm super busy you know.

What should I do?

Nope, I changed my mind!

Oh, whatever. Forget it.

Get your legs off me!

PR, huh?

So you publicize the student council's activities?

Feels self-congratulatory. I'm not enthusiastic.

Oh, you're so naive, paisen.

Close your legs.

Anyway, check this out!

The graph shows how many people came to our school festival!

Whoa, that jump last year was insane!

This is what my PR skills can do!

I have to admit, this is really impressive. You're bringing so much energy to the school.

But what on earth did you do to get results like this?

WHEN WAS YOUR FIRST TIME? MIDDLE SCHOOL / HIGH SCHOOL

This went viral when I posted it from the official account.

Hey! Recall this guy!

Posting about your first time on the official account? Are you serious?

The survey asked for when you first dyed your hair.

- What?! - Oh? What did you think it was?

What did my innocent little paisen imagine

when I said, "first time," I wonder?

Whoa! Your face is so red!

Hey, stop! Stop that, you idiot!

Don't hide it! Come on, show me more of that embarrassed side of you!

My iNipple!

Next up is the treasurer!

TREASURER ARISU TERUI

A treasurer's job might seem like it's all about numbers,

but it's not difficult once you learn the software.

So close!

Here's last year's budget records.

You can use them as a starting point to draft a preliminary budget.

- And then... - Why is she getting close?

Next, we'll visit each club to inform them of their budget for the coming term.

Okay.

We can't always give every club the budget they ask for,

so we sometimes have to deal with complaints.

It can be a little tough, but it's part of the job.

Senpai does have a heart.

MUSIC CLUB

Your budget is... 500 Yen.

What?! Seriously?! That's like a combo meal budget!

But we did so much last year!

I'm sorry,

but 17 out of those 19 achievements didn't have any monetary value.

What is this, a used-book store appraisal?!

Koki even won the guitar competition.

We also received a report...

Huh?! About what?

There have been intimate encounters...

Damn it, this is bad. Let's bail!

What the heck are they doing?

SWIMMING CLUB

There's a 40,000-yen decrease.

All right! Let's go swimming in the great outdoors!

Yes, captain!

Wait! How about you work hard next term?!

BIOLOGY CLUB

It's 20% down.

We can't afford to buy you food anymore.

Rather than watch you waste away, I'd rather just...

Maybe you can ask the cafeteria if you can have their leftover food?

BODYBUILDING CLUB

It's being cut in half.

They said we can't give you protein powder anymore...

It's not me! My muscles have a mind of their own!

It really is more fun going around with a cute kohai like you.

I'm glad... you think so.

Well, that about covers it all. Think you can handle it?

Yes.

The duties are fine.

I can handle the work, but the people here...

SCARY PERSON PANTY PERSON / LOSER

Well, I get why you'd be nervous. Things can get pretty hectic.

- Ah, no. That's not true... - But you know...

They've been looking forward to you joining us.

Terui was especially restless with anticipation.

We're not all here right now, but they're all good people.

So... trust them.

We're all in this together, representing the entire student body.

So, here's to a good year together,

Mizunoe!

Okay.

Why is my heart beating so heavily, like the start of an adolescent school story?

As if it's heralding the start of something...

Hey! There's about to edit out my nipple?!

What's going on with my willy?

I'm sorry for the interruption at such a crucial moment.

I dealt with it. Please, carry on.

Oh, yeah, thanks...

Nope. I take that back. Okay.

It's great to have you here!

Could you fill in the bold part over there?

Oh, yes.

What is it?

It's just, doing this together

really makes it feel like we're part of the same team now.

A lone violet, blooming through the cracked board's of a gutter.

All right, that's done. Next, I'll use red.

Excuse me, that was careless of me!

BEAMING

We ended up holding hands like a couple.

I got all flustered!

Yes. Me too.

Go ahead and use that one. I'll use my own.

Oh, okay.

She's so mature.

A man's hand is huge!

BA-DUMP BA-DUMP

She's actually a kid.

I felt one for the first time!

It was thick, knobby, and big!

And a closet perv on top of that.

STUDYING PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Thick, knobby, and big...

PRESIDENT WAS TAKEN BY UME AS HIS BRIDE

Today we're going to go around greeting students!

- Understood. - I'm late.

I'M LATE

I just need to greet people as they pass by, right?

Yeah! With enough energy to live up to this sash!

And one more thing...

Yes! This time, we'll also check for violations of the school rules!

Isn't it exciting, Ume?

What? No, I, well...

I certainly want to uphold school discipline

but I'm afraid I'm not very comfortable directly calling people out for their violations.

I suppose I did get a little too carried away.

Well, our main job today is greeting people anyway,

so maybe we'll just keep it to a light bag inspection.

Terui-senpai!

Oh, a piece of candy. That's a violation!

- My snack! - Just endure it.

I really don't want to do this...

Good morning. Sorry, but I need to inspect your bag.

What?! Can't hear ya!

This isn't going well at all.

Struggling, Mizunoe?

Project your voice from your diaphragm

From around here, okay? There you go, use more force.

I guess I'll keep trying.

All right, I'll give it my all.

Improper uniform, headphones, non-approved bag...

They're a bundle of school-rule violations!

So this is the first person I'm going to bring the hammer down on.

You there.

Scum-Tan!

PUNISHMENT CELL

I'm not a rabbit.

- Mistake me for one 'cause I'm cute? - What's that?!

Smoking while walking?! How dare they in this sacred place of learning?!

I need to warn them immediately...

Hey. What's up, Mizunoe?

PUNISHMENT CELL

The music club, notorious for being a bunch of troublemakers!

I sense school-rule violations coming.

Good morning. I'm sorry, we're doing a bag inspection.

Oh, excuse me...

Hey, unexpectedly cooperative.

Oh, this here is a violation, so I'm confiscating it.

Seriously, if you're just gonna cry, don't act all cool.

What are we gonna do? We all pitched in for that.

What was-that all about?

The music club gets a penalty of 10,000 yen.

Well, we found a fair amount of violations.

What should we do about this that I confiscated?

Normally we'd just throw it away, but there isn't much precedent for this.

Yeah, it should be discarded.

But she was crying, and no book is better or worse than another.

- Would you like to read it together? -What?!

But why?!

The rules say that manga gets discarded, and novels get returned.

Even though it's an erotic book, I think we should examine it.

Senpai! She took my feelings into consideration.

Thank you very much.

No, no. Those feelings of yours are very important.

Well, then, without further ado...

Ume's a boy too, after all.

Well, then, let's take our time and go through it from the first page!

Okay!

Wow, it's full of erotic pictures.

I'll admit, this is...

But the captions do have a somewhat literary quality to them.

That throbbing virility against the thoroughly soaked intimate place...

Hey! You don't need to read it out loud!

Oh, my.

ALL PENT UP

This one's bold. What do you think of this, Ume?

- Huh? What do you mean? - Do you like it or not?

Wow, it's so open.

It doesn't matter if I like it or not!

So, President.

President?

Huh? What is it?

What do you think about this, President?

Oh, well...

I mean... I think it's really sexy...

We've already finished discussing that.

We've moved on to the confiscated kendama.

What?! Oh, right!

KENDAMAS ARE SEXY

Hiratsuka-sensei. Hiratsuka-sensei.

The faculty meeting has started. Please come to the faculty room immediately.

Throbbing... virility...

Hisako, are you still in there?

All right, so today we're having an all-school assembly.

The student council will be speaking today,

so are you all ready?

Yes. I mean, are you okay, Sensei?

You're looking like a panda that nobody expects to show up for.

Huh? Well, teachers don't have to speak today, so I'm good.

Okay, that's good.

Okay, it's about to start.

Sorry, I'm gonna run to the bathroom.

You're not prepared at all!

Sensei's not here yet.

There's less than five minutes left. Did something happen?

Maybe she's poop...

Yes, she's probably having a smoke.

Come to think of it, she set off the fire alarm last week,

smoking in the bathroom.

She's really helpless when it comes to giving in to her desires.

- She went to homeroom after. - Please stand.

She always takes the easy way out when something's a hassle.

I ended up not making it in time.

Thank you all for gathering here today.

Did she memorize all of this?

It's all improvised. She's used to it,

and she's quick on her feet. That's the top student in the grade for you.

Impressive.

- Even though she's a closet perv. - Even though she's a closet perv.

That's all from my side...

Next, we have an announcement from Public Relations.

It's Otori's turn.

Are you going to be okay?

The teachers are here too, so you have to get it together.

FRUSTRATED

Now, as the Public Relations rep, I'd like to discuss the correlation

between our school's community service activities and the rate of regional revitalization...

He's so proper! He even changed clothes!

Oh, wow, that's rare.

That's it from Public Relations.

What's gotten into you? Did you eat something bad?

Oh, that was a piece of cake. As long as I give it my all, you know?

But anyway, how about you, Ume? Are you gonna be okay?

The teachers are here too, so you have to get it together.

Next, we'll hear from the secretary...

That jerk!

Shoot, I'm actually getting really nervous.

President and Otori were flawless...

I need to get it together!

Oh, that feels better.

What's up, Mizunoe? You look pale. Need to poop?

No, I'm nervous.

Come on, you've worked your ass off to get this far.

All you gotta do is go out there and give it your all.

I'll be watching, so hold your head up high.

Sensei...

But you only told me about this yesterday.

Counting on you tomorrow.

You haven't seen any of my efforts.

Now, here's a speech

from our newly appointed secretary, Ume Mizunoe.

Whoa! There's a lot of them!

Hello. I am the secretary...

I'm so nervous, my voice is cracking...

Oh! Sensei...

You just watch, Hiratsuka!

Well, it helped ease the tension, and things went surprisingly weil.

- How he addressed Hiratsuka-sensei. - But the students are all riled up.

I'm sorry for the commotion right before your turn, Senpai.

Oh, it's not a problem at all.

I'm Terui, the treasurer.

SILENCE...

Is this a wake?

That's all from your student council.

- Thank you all for listening. - We managed to get through it.

Yes, indeed.

So boring!

PLONK

Tan, you left this.

Rabbit mating...

Hey, that's the video I took in the shed the other day.

Isn't this hilarious?

- Principal! What is that?! - Ume!

- They're mating! - Huh? Oh!

President!

- Please close it! - That hurts!

-A mammogram?! - I'm sorry.

Why is it suddenly showing a mammogram?!

That school-wide assembly became legendary.

I can never get married now.

I guess Ume's the one who has to take her now.

What?

It's been decided that Mizunoe will take Kotobuki as his bride.

ALL PENT UP

- Hey! Hisako?! - Ume's... taking me...

PATIENTLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY TOONSHUB
