Our graduation ceremony went off perfectly yesterday.
Thank you everyone for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
Ah, graduation ceremonies always make me cry.
Yes, I'm always happy to hear the graduation song too.
Tennoji-sensei, how was it? Your first ceremony.
I was moved!
When I think about the students in 2-Z
graduating the same way next year, it makes me a bit sad!
What is this day dreaming you're talking about now?
Hmm?
Do you think the students in 2-Z can graduate
- with the way they act now? - Huh?
Actually if all of them do graduate, it would be suspicious.
Then what is going to happen to 2-Z after April?
No no, 2-Z will become 3-Z as planned.
That's a relief! It's a good thing
to keep 2-Z all together, right?
A good thing? If they broke up it would be worse!
- What? - Those helpless kids,
what would happen if spread them amongst the other classes?
It would be a huge disturbance to the serious students in A to D!
That's not right at all!
In the first place,
the whole point of 2-Z was to keep the good students
away from the bad ones! Don't forget!
- Okay! Meeting over. - Yeah...
She didn't really need to say all that.
That's right! You've worked so hard
to show everyone they're wrong about 2-Z!
That's right.
Tennoji-sensei.
I look forward to your hard work with 3-Z next year.
Yes.
Yeah! Yeah! I'm going to work
with all the 3rd years! Yeah!
You can't use your phone on school grounds.
You're supposed to leave it off and in your locker.
Okay?
You're so annoying.
That girl!
Vice principal?
- What is it? - What was that just now?
A girl from 2-A. What about it?
Ah, well, it looks like there's a person outside of 2-Z not following the rules.
Well yes, sometimes...
Then what about when you go,
"This has to be the work of 2-Z!"
And you decide we're in trouble? Looks like there are others.
But it's the bad behavior of your class
- that cannot be forgiven! - Ah, stop talking like that.
2-Z has made a fresh start now.
Morning!
Ah, there's no fresh start at all.
Everyone! You're not supposed to use your cell phones on school grounds!
What are you saying? Don't talk like the vice principal.
Yeah, but still...
Anyway, what are you guys doing on your phones?
What? Games, sending messages.
- I'm working on my profile. - Profile?
This is my profile.
It's like a self introduction page. Easy to make on your phone.
You can have a blog and photos on it.
Wow...
- You didn't know? - What?
I knew! The name anyway...
Yeah, I figured she was analog.
You can write a blog during your spare time.
It's really easy to make.
Yeah.
Really? That many?
Girls really do like stuff like this.
You guys don't do it?
- Of course not. - It's not cool.
- And it's annoying to keep up. - Yeah, it is!
Hmm? Am I a guy?
Am I losing my femininity?
Hey, these blogs are really easy.
You guys should do it too. It's really fun.
- Pass. - Me too.
Ah!
- Surprised me! - Don't shout in a loud voice!
- Hey, look at this. - Hmm?
Class 2-Z in my school is the ultimate worst.
Definitely talking about us!
Yeah, no doubt. Whoever wrote this is the worst.
- You shouldn't take some joke so seriously. - But!
2-Z is full of idiots and failures,
it's a huge shame it's bringing down the reputation of the school.
What is this!?
They're not smart and they're ugly?
Their fashion is bad too?
- What the hell! - Who would write stuff like this?
I don't know.
Ah, someone named Ayu at M Academy.
Unforgivable!
Who's the one taking the joke seriously?
- Ah. - Tennoji-sensei!
Thanks for helping out with my dad before.
- Ah, but I didn't... - So to thank you,
- how about we go out for a drink later. - Good idea!
Ah, Himejima-sensei, do you want to come too?
- Ah, can I? - Sure! Right Mikuni-sensei?
Ah, of course. Haha...
Well, there's somewhere I've always wanted to go.
- Place you want to go? - Place you want to go?
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Ah, is this really okay?
Yeah! I wanted to try and come once.
It's quite amazing.
You used to work here, huh?
And she was the number one!
- Come on Mikuni-sensei! Haha! - Misaki-san, you're here.
- Today is busy. - Ah!
- Are you cabaret girls? - Yeah.
Ah, of course you're all so pretty.
Really?
Man, Himejima-sensei really is an airhead.
Mikuni-sensei, so you didn't go back to
Kanazawa and become the president?
Ah, well there were a lot of things going on.
Ah! And I thought my rival was finally going to disappear!
Ow!
But I'm happy you'll keep coming by.
- If you'd like, please use this. - Oh, really?
Are you okay?
Ah...
Yeah.
Umi-chan, one more!
- Umi-chan? - Nanako-sensei...
That's not good.
A light and casual body touch. Looking the person she's talking to right in the eyes.
And good at giving praise.
You have the right foundation to work in the nightlife industry.
- Ah... - Maybe even,
a talent that only comes up once every 10 years!
Mama, she works as a school teacher for us.
If you ever quit as a teacher, please let me know!
Yes, thank you very much!
She was scouted!
Maybe she isn't your normal airhead...
Man, it got really late.
It's because you wanted to play one more game.
Yeah, really.
Ah, where have I seen that girl before?
Ah, isn't that the girl from Class A?
- Yeah. - Yep.
She's going to a club all alone this late. Looks bad.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Good morning!
Ah, what happened?
Ah, last night, a student was placed into custody.
- Custody? - Yeah.
She went to club alone late at night.
Ah! Could it be!
Tennoji-sensei.
Yes...
Did someone from my class do something again?
No, unfortunately this time it wasn't a 2-Z student. It was a girl from 2-A.
Class A? Thank god!
Sorry.
So, she has been transferred to 2-Z.
What!?
- Please take care of her. - Wait a second.
It's already March. You're going to transfer someone in now?
This girl has been causing trouble ever since the second semester.
In order to stop the bad influence spreading over the rest of Class A,
we had to make this decision.
The vice principal named you personally to take care of this.
Personally?
She named me personally? All right, now I'm excited!
Looks like her switch flipped.
Tennoji-sensei is a sucker for statements like that.
Then I completely understand. Leave it all to me.
Ah, I wouldn't have taken on that job so casually...
Tennoji-sensei doesn't know anything.
- Yeah. - It'll get tough for her now.
Well then, I'll bring her to your room later.
Okay.
What is it?
Hmm, I don't think you really should be so excited about this...
That's right. I mean, it's always tough to take on a new student.
It's okay. She chose me personally. I'll take care of this.
Okay, see you!
Tennoji-sensei?
Starting today, our class is going to have one more friend!
- A transfer student? - Guy? Girl? Which!?
Hmm...
The answer is...
- A girl! - All right!
They're like middle schoolers.
Where did she transfer from?
- Where? She's just from Class A. - Class A!?
That's no transfer student!
That's just another troublemaker they're throwing down here.
- What the... - Come on...
Ah, yesterday...
This is Tsuruhashi Ayumi.
Okay. Nice to meet you.
Hmm? Tsuruhashi? That's the same last name as the vice principal!
What a coincidence! Kinda weird huh?
Misaki-chan, don't you get it?
What?
She's so stupid.
It's natural her last name is the same. This is my daughter.
Oh, she's your daughter...what!?
Seriously...
The vice principal's daughter!?

Vice principal! Wait!
Why didn't you tell me?
If I knew she was your daughter I would've...
If you knew, you would've what?
Well, I would've just prepared myself for all this.
What do you need to prepare?
I mean, even if she is your daughter, it's a little tough on her
- to transfer her like this so late? - Then would you have
give your own child special favors?
- No, that's not... - Because she is my daughter
I can't show her any favors.
Ayumi got in trouble, so she was sent to 2-Z.
That's all.
It's kind of tough huh? To have to change classes so suddenly.
Yeah.
What's with the attitude?
You have a problem, just say so.
I didn't ask for any help.
Man, she's horrible.
She's just looking for a fight.
- She's making enemies of all the girls. - She is really trying to bait them.
So then, we have another friend in our class.
Please help her out everyone.
Tsuruhashi-san, since you've joined our class now,
- please go ahead and make some friends. - Friends?
Why do I need to make friends?
Huh?
Everyone seems to be smiling and having a good time.
Isn't 2-Z just a collection of failures?
Everyone else has given up on you guys.
What the hell!
What are you saying Tsuruhashi-san?
- What was that? - Now I'm angry...
Are you looking for a fight!?
Don't say that everyone. Please sit down.
Come on, sit down.
Tsuruhashi-san, please get along with everyone.
I don't need any friends.
Man, even her stare is like her mother's.
Well, I guess it is everyday...
That's why I said it.
You were too excited, you didn't listen to us at all.
Come on, I mean the vice principal's daughter?
What kind of girl is she like?
Well, she was a model student in her first year.
- She was even a class representative. - I see.
But she's been different ever since second semester this year.
Well, this happens a lot in high school.
They change suddenly over summer break.
Their grades drop off suddenly.
I don't know what to do.
I wonder what she's trying to do.
She's really overdoing it.
What's with the attitude? Trying to put us down?
You think you're better than us?
I guess idiots all think alike.
What?
Wouldn't you be afraid if you were all alone?
- Wait a second! - Who do you think you are?
What's going on?
Why have you been acting like this since you got here?
Of course everyone would get angry.
It's not your problem.
- Man, she irritates me. - Yep.
Maybe she's the one who wrote that blog?
The one saying all the bad things about 2-Z.
Yeah.
Hey, Tsuruhashi-san. Where are you going? Hey!
I know it's been a problem to have to change classes suddenly
but you need to try and work with everyone else.
- Maybe if you make a friend... - Save your lecture!
What?
I said I didn't need any friends.
- Tsuruhashi-san. - Let her go.
Vice principal.
Are you going to waste the time of all your other students
just for one of them?
So they finally put me into 2-Z.
I'm done for.
Will I become trash like the rest of them? That's what she wrote.
It's definitely her.
Ayu from M Academy? Tsuruhashi Ayumi.
What would she write this? It's really mean.
I can't forgive her.
Let's get her out of 2-Z.
Right Kazuma?
When I got put into 2-Z last April,
I thought I was done for too.
Kazuma.
I thought that the school, my parents,
everyone had given up on me.
Well, I'm not saying that we should forgive her for what she did but...
If our classmates found out about this, it would be big trouble.
Yeah.
Man, the vice principal is really stubborn.
Huh?
She hasn't come here today.
Vice principal?
Thank you very much.
Hey.
Tennoji-sensei.
What are you doing around here?
I should be saying that to you.
That place over there.
That's where they found Ayumi-san.
Ah, are you looking for Ayumi-san?
Unbelievable. Now I'm at the place where you used to work.
Yes.
But vice principal, first we should just calm down for a bit.
Then we can go look for her.
I'm sure you're worried something might happen to her.
Worry? Not at all.
I'm just worried she'll cause more trouble.
Umm, is there a reason that Ayumi-san
started to act like this?
I really wonder myself.
She won't listen to a thing I say anymore.
Is that so?
She won't listen to me. She won't talk to me.
She stays out all night and brings the trouble back home.
I don't know what to do with her now.
I put her in 2-Z. As embarrassing as that was,
if she had to be expelled,
that would ruin my reputation as vice principal!
What...are you worried about your position right now?
Then I feel bad for Ayumi-san!
You may be her vice principal,
but you're her mother first!
You're no mother. What do you know about this?
Well, I guess I'm just a bad mother.
I don't think so.
If you don't know how your child thinks,
if you can't talk to them, it is troubling.
Any mother would be worried like you.
It's perfectly normal I think.
Thank you for tonight.
I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation.
The vice principal has the burden of being not only that,
but also being a mother as well.
Yeah.
You wrote this, right?
You're horrible.
- So what? - You're still acting so tough?
- Oh man. - So it did get out.
Everyone, what are you doing?
What's wrong?
Tsuruhashi wrote all this bad stuff about 2-Z in her blog.
- It's all terrible. - What?
Said 2-Z is the end.
We're the worst class.
They should kill off all of 2-Z!
It's terrible, just like her.
Tsuruhashi-san, is what everyone saying true?
If it is, so what?
Do you really think that way about this class?
What's so wrong about writing the truth?
You don't know anyone yet,
how could you write such terrible things?
Just calm down already.
You think 2-Z is so bad, then get out of here!
Why are you even coming to school?
Yeah! Get out!
Enough. I'm quitting this school right now!
Wait Tsuruhashi-san.
This isn't the place for me anyway.
Tsuruhashi-san!
Hey, how did you look at Tsuruhashi-san's blog?
So they finally put me into 2-Z.
I'm done for.
Will I become trash like the rest of them?
Ah, so annoying!
Hey, does anyone know where Tsuruhashi-san could have gone?
- What's this now? - I'm going to look for Tsuruhashi-san.
We should all split up and help look.
We should just leave it alone.
Why do we have to do anything
for that girl anyway?
Is it because she's the vice principal's daughter?
No!
It's not just her.
If the same thing happened to anyone else here,
I would look for you too!
I've just been looking at
what she's been writing in her blog.
So I figured it out.
Last summer break, Tsuruhashi-san's
best friend betrayed her.
This is bad!
You can do math, you're fine.
- You can too Ayumi! - No way!
Hey yesterday, I found a really good cake shop on the way home...
- What's the next class? - Math I think.
So after that,
she was isolated from her class.
She didn't know what
had happened to her.
She was really hurt.
It was tough and lonely.
She said it was like she died.
I mean if that had to anyone here,
you wouldn't trust anyone else either right?
You wouldn't think it's weird
that you don't need any friends?
I know that it's not right what
Tsuruhashi-san wrote about 2-Z.
I think Tsuruhashi-san is crying out from her heart
for someone to notice her.
She thinks that everyone out there can't be trusted.
Shouldn't we save her from that?
You were all hurt sometime too.
When you first came here, you all had your own troubles.
And she's going through the same things you all were.
So I'm not going to leave her alone.
I can't leave a girl in such pain behind!
Where are you going Tennoji-sensei? Don't you have class?
Ayumi-san hasn't come in yet.
I'm going to look for her.
I told you right? Putting one student over the rest...
It's because it's just one student I can't leave her alone.
This is Ayumi-san's blog.
Please read it.
She wrote her true feelings here. Things she couldn't tell anyone.
Tsuruhashi-san, pick up.
I understand now.
How Tsuruhashi-san feels.
When I was in middle school,
all the girls in my class ignored me.
I was always alone.
I felt like I would disappear everyday.
But back then,
I found friends who helped me get back on my feet.
I think she doesn't have the same kind of support.
I'm going to look for her.
Vice principal.
Isn't it almost time to meet with the chairman of the board?
Ah, that's right.
However, I wonder why he wants
to talk with you and the principal all of a sudden.
What could it be?
I wonder.
Well, I'm heading out.
See you later.
Anything?
I see.
Over there.
Where did she go?
Misaki-chan!
- She wasn't in front of the station. - Not the convenience store either.
You're here?
We're all looking for her.
Thanks.
- It's not just us. - Huh?
- She's not here! - Where is she?
Not here.
- She's not at the arcade. - Nor the shopping street.
We looked around her house, but she wasn't there.
It's better to have a lot of people when searching, right?
That way you'd find her faster.
I think we might have been too tough on her.
Yeah.
Everyone!
All right, let's split up and go look!
- We'll go this way. - Let's go!
Okay, let's go.
Yesterday a girl that I called my best friend
suddenly stopped talking to me.
I don't know why.
Why me?
Now my "best friend" is hanging out with other girls in my class.
She doesn't even look my way.
Is it like I've disappeared?
There's no point in going to school.
Even if I told my family, they wouldn't do anything.
They don't even notice.
I don't want to be alone.
But even if I go to the club or the arcade,
I realize even more I'm all alone.
I'm a big idiot.
I wonder if I should just die.
I realized something. I'm not needed.
Even if I died,
no one would notice.
How sad!
Anything?
- She's not here. - Let's go this way!
- Where is she? - Maybe at the hospital?
- Is it this way? - Over here!
- She updated her blog! - Huh?
My house, school, I don't know where I fit in.
Is there a point in me living?
I don't really know.
Ah, there's a picture!
Where did she take that picture?
- It's some rooftop. - Huh?
- Is she going to jump? - Stupid! Don't say that.
Ah, that tower!
It's that building!
Tsuruhashi-san.
Tsuruhashi-san?
Calm down.
Good...
Why is everyone here?
Why?
You're the one writing strange things in your blog.
I thought she was going to jump. Made me nervous.
Are you stupid?
You think I was going to jump?
I'm not going to die that easily.
Right? But I'm glad.
Must've been tough for you too.
If someone in your class commits suicide,
you'd have to take responsibility and get fired, right?
That's why you're here.
No! I'm here because I'm worried about you.
Worried?
I never acted like I was going to kill myself.
There's no reason anyone should be
worried about me!
You said you didn't need friends but,
I saw what you wrote about being lonely.
That's why I couldn't leave you alone!
It doesn't matter if you wanted to kill yourself or not.
You hurt so much you thought about it, right?
That's enough!
These guys were doing their best to find you.
Not just these 5. All of 2-Z is
out there looking for you!
What?
It's true.
Everyone is still looking.
We should let them know soon.
I know you still don't trust anyone yet but,
they are all out there looking for you.
Could you believe that much at least?
Maybe to you, it looks like 2-Z is a bunch of failures but,
everyone in the class has been working their hardest.
It's just a little, but they're all improving.
So maybe before you decide you don't belong anywhere,
how about you take a step forward with us?
If you hold your head up and start moving forward,
you'll find your place,
be it school, your house, or somewhere else.
Ayumi!
Mom!
Vice principal.
I'm glad you're okay!
Why?
I read your blog.
I'm sorry that I didn't notice
you were hurting so much. Sorry.
Mom...
Tsuruhashi-san, isn't there something you want to tell everyone?
I'm sorry to make everyone worried.
I'm also sorry about what I wrote.
Tsuruhashi-san is going to be part of the class starting today.
Go ahead, sit.
Okay everyone? Don't forget about what happened.
I'm sure we'll still have other people
come into our class.
But, in here you can find a true friend,
someone you'll know for life.
So I want you to value every time you meet new people.
Okay! Let's all take a picture!
- What? - Picture?
Why now?
Come on! I want a picture with everyone!
Come on, stand up! We're doing it! Hurry!
Man, she's so old fashioned.
- Can't be helped. - Okay!
We're doing this, everyone put your desks back!
Get in line!
I'm sure you're happy.
Principal.
Ah, you said you wanted your daughter in 2-Z. Is it because
of Tennoji-sensei?
Ah, no.
I see.
I had hoped that Tennoji-sensei had finally made an
impression on you.
Principal. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to attend the
important meeting.
Ah, no no...
About that.
It seems the chairman has found out Tennoji-sensei
used to work in a cabaret club.
What did he say?
Well, he said it was a problem.
And that Tennoji-sensei could not
continue on in 2-Z.
Okay everyone, here we go!
What should I do?
Say cheese!
