Hey, do you guys know
the rumor of this Ninomiya Kinjiro?
I hear it from the guy in the other class,
the amount of firewood on his back differs in the morning and at night.
Impossible
I even heard that he cries,
and his hair will grow really long.
Really? So he'll turn into a doll?
Don't come near me
Ninomiya Kinjiro...
In thisworld, there are living beings not visible to the naked eye.
Occasionally, they will reveal their fangs and attack you
and he
protects you from these evil beings
from deep hell,
a protector... probably
Nube
The scary statue,
Ninomiya Kinjiro that runs at night.
Being punished to stay back after school for not finishing our homework. Why is it always us?
It's all Nube's fault for giving us so much homework.
If you guys don't hurry up, you'll need to stay untill night.
Where did Makoto go?
He was at the library to help out.
I see.
The secrets of all magic
This book seem to be pretty expensive, but its now very torn.
So this is a gift from someone.
But the cover and the content of the book is torn apart
Kurita-kun
Shoot.
Let's fix it fast.
Hey, Mokoto-kun
Time's up
You can go back to your classroom now.
Ah, this book...
Go back and finish your homework.
Ok, today's extra tuition has come to an end.
Finish it back home if you haven't finish everything.
Since everybody worked hard,
I'll give everyone a special present.
Present?
What is it?
Don't put your expectations too high.
I bet it won't be anything good.
Too bad, you've got it wrong.
Nope
7 pages of Math homework, hand it to me tomorrow morning.
You can't do this to us
Oh my god!
Ok, dismiss.
Be careful when you guys go home.
Makoto, let's go.
I need to go to the library for something.
You guys go ahead.
Oh, bye then.
What are you doing here, Kurita Makoto?
I'm fixing this book
It's very late now.
Go home. Fix it tomorrow.
The sun has already set.
Allright, fix it back home.
Aih, I still need to finish the Math homework.
I hate studying...
Don't come over
He was hiding in his bed and he didn't even eat dinner.
Mokoto-kun.
How come the statue of Ninomiya Kinjiro can move?
It's really moving,
and it's chasing me
No fever.
And seems like its very cold
I think you better talk to Nueno-sensei.
Tell him the statue of Ninomiya Kinjiro moved.
He won't believe
it really moved
Ah, it's Kinjiro
Mokoto-kun, there's no Kinjiro
You must have imagined it.
I'll accompany you later. Go to bed.
Sensei, is Kijiro here yesterday night?
What do you mean by this, Ishikawa-sensei?
That's wierd
I was on duty yesterday night
And while I was patroling, I didn't see the statue of Kinjiro.
Please stop fooling around, Ishikawa-sensei.
Did you dream about it?
It's real, please believe me.
You're saying that you dropped your exercise book
because Ninomiya Kinjiro chased you around?
Makoto-kun, at least tell a lie that make sense.
I didn't lie
Ah, Ritsuko-sensei.
Are you here to ask me out for a date? Or...
A student from my class found Mokoto-kun's exercise book.
Mokoto-kun
I heard it was found somewhere around the statue of Ninomiya Kinjiro
Don't drop it next time
Sorry for disturbing.
So because Doumori Elementry is under construction, Ninomiya Kinjiro...
****
yeah, it was left in the garden a month ago.
By the way,
who is Ninomiya Kinjiro?
He's a wierd person.
****
I think that's comic
How nice being someone from the past
If we read while we're walking,
a car will definitely knock us down.
That's right.
You guys don't know who Ninomiya Kinjiro is?
How do we know?
Nube, don't tell us that you've meet the sprit of Ninomiya Kinjiro
lmpossible
Ninomiya Kinjiro is a God
God?
He's that nobel?
That's why we have a statue of him.
So Nube won't have a chance?
Yeep
Why?
Erm, long time no see.
Today, it won't be a monster.
I'm introducint Ninomiya Kinjiro.
Ninomiya Kinjiro was born about 200 years ago,
at the end of Edogawa dinesty
something like the farm house of our Kanagawa.
Ok, go on, go on.
He worked hard studying since he was a kid,
and he helped with the reconstructions of a lot of farming village.
A famous farming philosopher.
And he's got a different name when he was a kid.
Yeah, different, different.
Some time earlier,
almost all schools has a statue of Ninomiya Kinjiro.
He's a model to everyone.
I'll see you guys next time.
Ninomiya Kinjiro loves to read.
Because his family was poor,
so he worked and studied at the same time.
Wow
In short, he's the God of knowledge,
so how could he attack kids.
Right, Makoto?
But...
Dont' worry,
I didn't sense anything unusual on this statue.
Ok, back to the classroom.
He chased Mokoto,
because Mokoto doesn't like to study.
How can that be.
That's highly possible.
If you don't study hard, he'll come and look for you.
Look who's talking.
What about you?
Died attacked by Ninomiya Kinjiro?
I think that'd be a lousy way to die.
He won't follow me today, right?
But what should I do if he still chase me?
He's really looking for me
Why?
I didn't do anything bad
Let me go. I'm suffocating
*****
***and he wants you to
Erm.
I think we better ask Nube for help.
But I didn't sense anything from that statue.
That means there's no spirits on it.
How can I do anything?
That statue is like a guardian angel of this schoo,
I don't think it'll attack kids.
But I'm almost killed by it.
Nube
Makoto-kun isn't someone who tell lies.
But...
Nube, we believe Makoto-kun
How should I explain this.
Fine
Nube is an idiot
Makoto-kun
What should we do?
I dare not go home
He'll attack me again.
Don't worry, Makoto.
Everybody believe in you.
Thank you.
Don't be bothered by it.
Hiroshi
I believe he's a monster that attack kids who doesn't study.
But Nube says
monster who attacks kids who doesn't study,
I won't stay out fo this.
But why is he only attacking Makoto-kun?
There's a bunch of us who hates to study.
Hiroshi is one of it.
Shut up.
Ok, Makoto,
since we're on the same boat,
we'll help you with Ninomiya Kinjiro
Show him the power of us who doesn't like studying.
Friendship is a splendit thing.
But this kid of friendship...
Hey, Kinjiro
show us if you can really move
we'll punishi you today.
We'll sit here until you move
He won't be moving today, Makoto.
Could it be because of you two,
he's not moving?
Ok, let's go home
He might appear on our way home.
This is where I was attacked yesterday.
But how did you run away?
Don't you think it's strange.
I faught for my life.
That thing must've been too slow.
He's a statue.
Is that so?
****
Defeat Ninomiya Kinjiro.
Bash him up.
Come if you dare, Kinjiro.
I'm not feeling good
footsteps
Here you are, Kinjiro.
Leave it all to me
The statue is really moving
It's so scary
Just as I said.
Come, you monster.
Left Kick
Outch
Stupid, he's a statue
Let's run.
Thank you.
Wow, he's fast
Hiroshi, river.
Let's jump into the river.
Statue should sink into the river.
Ok
Hey you, we're here
come and get us
Here
Quick
We've made it.
Serves you right, Ninomiya Kinjiro
Nube, why are you saving it
He attacked us
Makoto
This isn't the one that atttacked Makoto yesterday.
There's more,
and he's right behind.
I was sealed in that book
and you're the cute brat that saved me out from it.
I lost in a battle of magic,
so I was sealed in that book all along.
Luckily you tore the cover of that book,
and that broke the seal.
If I can take away the life of the person who broke the seal,
I will be alive again.
Makoto-kun
Makoto
I wanted to take away your life many times,
but someone prevented me everytime
prevent...
but today, I can do whatever I want
to gain my life back...
In your dreams
Makoto
Hiroshi, stop.
Hiroshi
Makoto
I'm allright.
Look, Nube
I'm absorbed
I've made it
I won't let you
Nube
The power's too strong,
that's why Kinjiro couldn't get rid of him
Nube, save Kinjiro
the ghost in my left hand,
show me your powers, now!
By the power of universe,
the power to defeat demons,
Please accept the power of this ghost's hand
This is buddha
He's the nobel God of love that sacrificed himself to save everyone,
just like Ninomiya Kinjiro
So it's always following Makoto around
to protect him from that demon
I can ran away yesterday,
because Kinjiro stopped that thing
Sorry, Kinjiro,
I misunderstood you.
Don't feel sad, Makoto
He fulfilled his mission.
Nube, the real form of that monster is...
He was originally a human,
but because his desire were too strong,
he became a monster.
At least we've settled it now.
***Nube, Kinjiro
This statue is a gift, right?
We can't say it exploded itself.
What should we do?
This, should be right here.
Sensei, are you done?
This is hard.
But if we don't do this ourselves,
the repairing fees will be deducted from my salary,
and your salary will disappear just like that.
Stop laughing at it.
Don't worry, Nube
We'll help you.
Right, Makoto?
Erm. Because Kinjiro saved my life
Makoto, how dare you sleep.
Don't you know how to admire good tallents?
Nevermind, because Ai-chan and I are good friends.
Ai-chan?
But Ai-chan's troubled lately,
because she's posessed by Dodomeki
Wait, Dodomeki...
Isn't that a monster that only posess bad guys?
Hell teacher, Nube
The scary eyeball
The sin of the tallented violinist.
You're lying
