Back then I was chasing for a perfect ending
Noto, a friend of mine, died in a bike accident
Maybe that's one reason for my impatiency
Damn, why did he leave. .
I thought I should do something
Something. .
No matter what
What are you doing?
I mean. .
It's none of your business. Go away
If you don't -
You'll die
Snow?
He's here
Run away quickly!
HURRY UP!
I've got bad news. Your classfriend Yamamoto Yousuke got involved in a chainsaw accident and has passed away
You know how long I waited for him? Six friggin' hours!
Sitting six hours there looking like an idiot
And it's all for nothing. Now he got away!
How are you going to take responsibility for this?
the Police! You've got to tell the police!
Police?
You've got to file a report of an offence or something!
A chainsaw wielding man flew down the sky?
Yeah!
Then he got stabbed in the heart and fled?
Yeah!
You can go file your reports by yourself
They might not believe - but it happened, for real!
When nobody believes it's the same thing as it never existed
You'd better forget what you just saw
Wait!
Don't touch me!
Hi
Piercing his heart doesn't kill him? An immortal chainsaw man? That's cool!
Yeah isn't it! And hey, the man hit me in the face
That's so cool -
YOU IDIOT, as if I would buy that! Beautiful warrior my ass! Are you an idiot?
But. . It really happened
Whatever
You've got paint in your face, right here
You've got a wound in your face, right here
Oh, a blade-- I mean the chainsaw man did this!
Man that was a close call!
A bunny handkerchief?
The girl gave this to me
A concrete proof of the beautiful warrior, eh?
Exactly
Okay -
So you encountered this monster with a chainsaw -
and you also encountered a beautiful warrior fighting against this monster -
Even if that's true. . So what?
Huh?
Even if it's true, it's got nothing to do with you!
Hey, you are not into photographing anymore, right?
It's only waste of money for me
I rather do art, painting that is!
You see I think it's best to-
So you don't use this? Can I borrow this?
It's expensive, be sure to give it back
What protector of justice are you now? How old you think you are?
The same age as you
Indeed, it's got nothing to do with me
But what if this is a chance? what do you think Noto?
Hey, Watanabe
What?
I'm risking my life for a girl, how does that sound?
Not bad
That's something Noto couldn't achieve
Yeah
which means I'd exceed Noto. .
We've got great food this morning, I cooked it all by myself!
Hey guys. . Don't you have anything to say about the taste?
You bastards!
Oh, it's delicious!
You are a very good cook!
Yamamoto, aren't you going to eat?
I don't have appetite right now
Beautiful flowers
Thanks
Bye bye
Next formula will be on the test, so be sure to listen
X + 1 equals to C so X minus -
I heard class C's Satomi got caught double-timing
double-timing?
Wasn't she dating the guy from class C?
Yeah, and then she got pregnant for this other guy!
Really? Weren't the two guys good friends?
Yeah, now they are going to take on each other
"I love Satomi!" - "She's my girl"
That's going to be so much fun! Noto, are you coming to watch?
Those two guys' fight, that is
You don't have to run so seriously
Running around the schoolground as a punishment for being late wasn't something to be taken seriously
However he ran with all his might
So I was always a few laps behind him
I'm sorry
I'm sorry too
What's this?
Stupid. . let's go back
HEY!
What the fuck! You guys suck so much ass!
What the fucking "I'm sorry too"?!
Don't fuck with me
Is this harmony?
Is this enough for you guys? Does this change your feelings?
Are your feelings that shallow-minded!
Is love just fucking around?! Aren't you ashamed of yourselves
Kill him!
YOU GUTLESS ASSHOLES
Always so calm Noto suddenly ran there -
causing a huge fight
What made him so angry?
He couldn't probably forgive them
in about anything
Yamamoto! You've got some guts to doze here eventhough you failed last test
Actually I am gutless! That's what Noto said me
Are you free, spook?
Can I call you spook?
Other one spooks around as he sees fit whereas other has become a real spook
Watanabe, he always tries to do a little this and that
None of his works turns out to be good though
He never finished his composings
When he joined the art club he couldn't finish the oil paintings
the Camera he got by doing part-time job is now - and forever - in his closet
His closet is full of things he couldn't achieve his dream with
Life is like music!
Youth is rock
It all meets in the computer
Cool! Digital tone manipulating?
No can do, since our bass player is a spook by now
Watanabe is desperately trying to search for his place
Noto would say he's never gonna find it here. . and I think so too
Finally! What took you so long?
What are you doing?
Well -
Are you going to fight tonight?
You broke your weapon last night, what are you going to use tonight?
True. . What should I use. . It's none of your business!
Hey
what?
can I pay you somehow for saving me?
No need. I didn't try to save you in the first place
Dinner! I'll treat you to dinner!
My name is Yamamoto, Yamamoto Yousuke!
My name is Yukizaki Eri, nice to meet you
Nice to meet you
Eri-chan, nice name indeed
Don't use the "-chan"
Annoying; feels like you think I'm an idiot
That's not true, Eri-chan!
Didn't we fight together
It's not over yet. Thanks to you, yesterday didn't go as I had planned
I'm sorry
Who ordered these?
I did
So. . What was the monster?
It's a long story
Doesn't matter, just tell me
I encountered him a month ago
I was coming home from a funeral
Whose?
Doesn't matter!
Oh! yeah!
Anyway -
I was sitting alone beside the road
when it started to snow suddenly
as I was lured by the moment -
this man who wore a long jacket appeared on the road with no people nor cars
it was him
And then - You'd better not laugh at me
I won't
then my body started to feel lighter and reflexes got better
No way, superpowers
Like a superhero! Maybe you are one
Thanks for the treat
Sorry! I won't laugh anymore. Now sit down, please
Then I figured it out
I figured out I have to bring him down
I'm the only one who can do it
I'll just kill him
She looked as if she was just about to burst into tears
Who ordered coffee?
I did
Why we have to runaway when you told you'd treat me!
Sorry! I completely forgot!
WAIT UP, YOU BASTARDS
Aren't you going to get a criminal record for that?
Don't worry. It's all cool if I just don't go there anymore
You --
me?
YOU IDIOT
What was that for?
Not all good and bad things can be measured within the boundaries of law!
You think it's okay to drunk drive as long as you don't get caught?
You think not getting caught is lucky?
I can't believe this shit
I'm really sorry
Was your name Yamamoto?
I want you to apologize for that immediately
No matter what they say, just beg for their forgiveness
Then it's up to them whether to forgive you or not
I can't trust people who don't know how to apogolize
Wait! You are going today, aren't you?
I'll help you!
He's not as weak as you think
Eri-chan! I know that! But still, let me help you
Can you stop using "-chan" already?
And so I ended up helping Eri-cha-- I mean Eri
Is this really a good place?
Shut up, I can't concentrate
You're in the way afterall
He got away again, eh
I wasn't much of a help today
I told you you aren't needed
But hey, I cheered you on from a distance!
This composing's gonna be great! Nobel prize level!
Kenzaburo's nothing compared to me
"I love Satome! I can't forgive her" Huh, afterall this--
So did you fight the fiend?
Yeah
Well done
I don't like either
And so the dangerous battles for our lives started
Let's go! -Where are we going?
In the nights while fighting, I started to understand Eri's feelings little by little
After a while she started to rely on me more and more
I thought Eri couldn't do without me anymore
'Cause I'm beside her, she's able to fight every night
Because you are beside me, it's easy to go from one place to another
Flat tyre! Flat tyre!
This is rather surprising, I tell ya, rather surprising! Zero points!
This is a great achievement. . Yamamoto!
What were you thinking
You've failed all the tests lately, and what now? not a single point!
I certainly did lousy in the test
Lousy!
It's my own fault for getting no points
Fault!
But it's partly teacher's fault 'cause he's wasting precious lecture time -
maybe I'm not at fault afterall
Fault!
You didn't do good, eh
You! Is living a fun thing
It seems I'm not doing very well
That's so true
Why your bag is so stuffed?
Text books. I decided to start studying seriously
After taking a close look, you really look like you aren't very clever
What about you? I'm sure you are on the edge of dropping out or something
No, not true! Just because I failed last test and got scolded doesn't mean-
Really? So you suck at school as well
I'll go get some text books as well
You know
It's annoying how you are staring at me all the time
I wasn't staring
There is a term "escape from reality"
Hour by hour the tests are coming closer
But I don't feel like studying, not the single bit
in addition, when I think things like Terrorism, punishments -
And the sun is going to die in 5 billion years,
Thinking about all those things, Who cares about some test?
the Humankind, Life, Globe and everything will be over some day anyway
Chain armor, 1. 65 times better protection -
Maybe this is the so called "escape from reality"
Why are you helping me every night?
It's dangerous and it's got nothing to do with you
I've got nothing better to do
I'm asking seriously
I was serious too
Unlike my everyday life, this feels like I'm doing something significant
Helping a girl who's fighting against a monster
Getting close to you, protecting you in a way
Thus I will exceed Noto
I don't understand. What do you mean by exceeding Noto?
Noto was my. . challenger
He got angry over futile things, took insignificant things seriously. an Idiot who ended up in a bike accident
He is. .
an Idiot, right?
an Idiot because he died when things are still unsettled
What's wrong, Eri?
Here
Thank you
It's sad afterall
What?
a present. I made it before midnight, huh. Today's your birthday
did I mention?
I asked you
Isn't it good
Looks stupid - One can't wear something like this
1. 65 times better protection, I hear
1. 65. . what a dubiously exact number
I didn't have the slightest clue what I was doing
However, I had fun
I wouldn't mind if this continued for all eternity, I thought
That's what I thought
Huh?
What the fuck were you doing there
I'm~just~joking~!
Dang this smell of booze
I haven't drunk anything. Not a single drop!
But I have
I'm a bad example
I had fun also, when I was around your age
be careful
Sadness always waits after happy times
Sad things will happen to you as well
Yousuke, be careful -- Don't overdo it
Be careful - That's not going to end well
