Zen master D?gen said
Self, do not fear reflecting on being a novice
Do not be ashamed of lack of experience or knowledge.
With those words in his heart, Heisuke stood behind the podium on the first day of coeducation.
I will be this class' homeroom teacher, my name is Hara Heisuke.
Me? I am the Goddess of Mercy.
And on my right hand are Mishima croquettes.
Mishima City's highly recommended affordable famous food.
Who put croquettes on my right hand!
Komagata University Affiliated Mishima High School aka Tonkou and St. Mishima Girls High School
Merger talks emerged between these two schools with historical discord.
The cause is Sanjo's debt.
14 years ago their chapel was burned to the ground,
The unpaid construction costs and interests have accumulated.
By the way, the culprit is him.
We will not do merger!
Because of the fire, the relation between the two schools deteriorated.
Among the two schools with such historically bad blood talks of merger came up.
Do you have any questions? No questions...
The cause is Sanjo's debt.
14 years ago their chapel was burned to the ground and the reconstruction costs are unpaid.
By the way, the culprit is him.
Because of the fire, the relation between the two schools deteriorated.
Between the two schools with such historically bad blood...
Hmm? What is this never-ending loop?
I can't get out of this loop of hatred. Help!
make just one class of third years co-ed like an experiment and observe,
I was thinking
So, this is how it turns out.
What are you doing stealing looks, you fag!
At that time, at Tonkou,
Me me, I have a question.
Sensei, do you have a boyfriend?
You all, don't forget Nirvana Shanti heart!
What cup is that?
What!?
I think F or G.
Maybe H...
Wait, I'll get it. A B C D F G...
It's G!

What method Hachiya-sensei employed,
I will tell you shortly.
Sensei, there is a phone call from Sanjo's principal.
God over Buddha
Hachiya-sensei, Hachiya-sensei, it's bad
Orange! Rotten orange!
What orange?
Locking themselves in!
Rotten oranges is a famous line from Kanpachi-sensei series. A long running school drama that started in 1979.
You're from a generation that doesn't know rotten orange?
What are you all doing!
Crap, Risa Black Tiger
Help me please!
Sunday Theater
GOMEN NE SEISHUN! Regret from My School Days 2
Alright, sit down.
I told you to sit down!
Jinbou-san, what happened? Explain.
This fella...
Don't say "fella"
This flashy brows
JINBOU!
He was looking at Abe-san sexually, so she was giving a warning.
What's your name?
Ebisawa
Ebisawa-kun, were you looking at Abe-san sexually?
Our eyes met, so I was just waving.
Those eyes! Like, they're lewd!
No one would look at you with lewd eyes
Who said that just now? Monkey?
I'm not a monkey!
Monkey!
Stop it Quiz King!
Huh?
I don't think it's right to blame Ebisawa-kun alone.
Before that Hara-sensei was saying that he was troubled by where to put their eyes.
What?
I wasn't! I didn't say that!
Don't know where to look huh
I did. I'm sorry!
Admitting mistake gracefully, his likability would increase, was he wrongly thinking so?
Would this judgment prove favorable...
Lame...
It proved unfavorable.
Even if you have no such intentions,
to girls a boy's gaze is threatening, and stressful.
Ebisawa-kun, after this when you talk to girls, do it cross-eyed.
Alright, go to your seats.
Come on, go to your seats.
Out seats haven't been decided.
What?
Self-intoduxons are not yet either.
I'm sorry, it's been all over the place.
I'm hungry already
Quiz!
Please proceed immediately.
Yes
Alright alright alright
"Quiz," why does she know my nickname?
Can I start?
My name is Yamada. Yamada-Birckenstock Kyoko.
Germany and Yamanashi mixed.
Birckenstock, sandals?
No matter how many thousands of times I was told that,
it won't elicit emotions from me.
I'm fine with nickname Sandals too.
I have no intention of marrying a Japanese anyway.
I'm Jinbou Ai.
I'm dating the ex-captain of Nishikou's boxing club.
Totally, solidly dating.
I'm Abe Amari.
Me too...
I have a boyfriend in Nishikou.
Solidly dating.
Ebisawa!
What are you doing!?
I'm Endou. No boyfriend.
No one's asking
Ha?
Sorry
Endou?
At school, I eat 3 bentos in the morning, afternoon, and evening
Endou?
but it's not because my family situation is complicated or anything like that.
Don't mind me
Women's Restroom Boys May Not Enter
Madonna-sensei,
right?
Sorry for greeting you late, I'm Hachiya from the coed class.
I'll be in your favor for 6 months.
Likewise. My name is Awashima, the school nurse.
Visitors Toilet
Also serving as class representative, I am Nakai Takako, student body president.
Pr...pretty
Hah?
Sorry
Oh! Endou, the fastest fingers!? (press quiz buzzer)
What is it Akishima?
All Mishima tournament...
Minamoto no Yoritomo: Founder and 1st shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate
Minamoto no Yoritomo
What, you know each other?
Runner up for 2 years running at All Shizuoka High School Quiz Tournament
Fastest-Fingers Endou, Endou Izumi, aren't you!

You can't bring cellphones to school.
Confiscated!
Akishima...
Popular manga in which the protagonist time slipped to Edo period is
Number 1 "Back to the Future" Number 2 "JIN" Number 3 "Vagabond"
3-Choice Akishima?
Yeap
3rd place at All Shizuoka Tournament, Akishima.
3rd Place Akishima Tsukasa-san (Koma Mi East)
So you're called "Quiz" too.
What weak reaction?
2nd and 3rd place Quiz Kings of Shizuoka
are in the same class, you know!
Hmm... Fastest-Fingers
You're done, Akishima?
Sorry you waited
I am adamantly opposed to the change to coed which disregards the will of students.
Childish, savage,
can't even discipline themselves,
I cannot think that there are things that we should learn from boys.
An important time ahead of entrance exams, I will only think of these 6 months as getting the short end of the stick
and nothing to do but endure it.
Class is gonna start soon!
You washed each other again?
This is not the first time?
Boys just take their clothes off during summer.
I apologize.
Don't take off your clothes just because it's summer!
This is public space!
That's not sensible, Hachiya-sensei
Telling Tonkou students not to take their cloths off
is like telling snakes not to molt.
It was still okay that it was me.
Girls also use this place!
That's why a don't enter sign is placed, here.
Well. Malicious. Who could it be
Just like president said, getting the short end of the stick, huh
3-Choice Akishima is kinda hot if he shuts up, but he's noisy.
No way. For me it's by far Ebisawa. So cute, isn't he?
Jinbo, you got a boyfriend in Nishikou...
No way I do, right?
Imagine boyfriend.
Ave-san too?
Um, I...
Nishikou students
If we were dating a Nishikou student, we wouldn't be eating croquettes on the roadside, huh
In any case, Ebisawa is a no, right?
Wind-up doll?
I'm Ebisawa Yuzuru.
Soccer club for 3 years...
No no no
No way right, Ave-san?
No no no no no no no
Monkey is even more no, though
Furui Yutaka, visiting Sanjo!
??: visiting, is read sanj?
No no no...
What are you all doing!?
Withouth realizing, our legs naturally headed here.
You're a mess. It's only the first day you know
Furui-kun has it the worst.
Don't mind "Visiting Sanjo"
Sensei came here to get told "Don't mind" by Donmai-sensei too right?
What is it? You're here with the students?
No no, come on...
Go back already, go back!
That Murai kid is the director's son, apparently.
Taking his face into account as well, he's definitely gay.
For me the most repulsive one is the teacher though.
Hmm... no no no no no
Huh, what do you mean?
I was saying, I realized that I slightly slipped when I was introducing myself.
Flipping Hei and Suke, they also call me Sukebe!
Of course. That's the kind of thing that girls hate the most. Then?
Yes, I was trying turn it around, but it backfired...
They too usually go on life without feminine contact, so
"Feminine contact," literally women spirit
"Feminine contact? What "contact"? Are we spirits?
No no, I meant that our lives don't involve women.
Then you should've said that. Adding unnecessary stuff makes it sexist expression.
Like feminine contact, or sitting crossed-legged.
Literally feminine contact = women feel/spirit sitting cross-legged = women sitting
Like unladylike, or female company president.
Like peak of womanhood
Nyotai mori is also a no.
nyotai mori: practice of eating sushi or sashimi off an unclad woman's body
Womanly is absolutely unthinkable.
Oh...
Not so hot in women's world, huh
Because you can't definitively say that there's no one among here who will be your future spouse.
Boys and girls comprehend each other's position well...
Okay okay okay okay that's enough.
What is it with you, isn't it stepping on landmines on and on?
On the other hand, those kids acted very maturely listening to all those things.
Did you do it on purpose?
If you weren't even aware, considerably all the worse.
All the worse, I guess.
Also, I was holding back in front of the students, but,
please don't laugh around meaninglessly.
Also, don't meaninglessly repeat the end of my sentence. A waste of one line.
One line?
See! What did I just tell you? You did it...
I'm sorry
Don't joke around!
A girl doing something like this...
We shouldn't because we're girls?
If boys, they can throw things? Entering before the bell even rung,
making us listen to tepid idealism, making goo goo eyes at us,
That Nakai kid is tough, isn't she.
Seems like she has top grades, but
Like, too guarded...
That is the typical Sanjo student.
Huh...
Logical, rational,
not only that, a perfectionist, and carries a strong belief and high idealism.
As well as looking for such qualities in the opposite sex.
I wish you told me that before the merger.
A good student is true to the teachings of the Bible.
Catholicism does not recognize divorce.
One continues to love the person whom one first trusted.
To remain married for the rest of one's life is happiness, that's the teachings.
I heard you were able to tame my students from day one.
Yes.
You were referred to with a strong-sounding nickname too
Risa Stegmeyer...
Risa Black Tiger.
Oh Black Tiger
Please tell me how to shut up undisciplined students?
Firstly, I will tell you this.
I am a virgin.
Of course, all the girls here are as well.
Have a boyfriend or not, F or G cup,
Boys who spew humiliating verbal abuse,
our chastity that has been protected at all cost with love and humility,
do you have the resolve to go against God and take it?
How is it going to be?
Is it really the first thing to say?
Because the beginning is crucial.
If a relationship of mutual trust is forged,
they will open their hearts.
However, once sense of distrust begins to grow, it's already too late.
A virgin huh...
I think she's younger than Yuko by 3 or 4 years, so 27 or 28?
No matter how you look at it, that's protecting chastity too much.
Her nose is unsplit.
Anyway...what!?
That's not right, absolutely not right!
What's with these constant sexy traps every time!?
I'm sorry! Because Elena is a ditz.
I was sure it was Ippei-san and got in.
Too ditzy! There's nothing that can be mistaken between Aniki and me?!
Can't be too careful huh
You got it wrong! Your wife came in on her own...
Get out in 2 seconds Heisuke! 2, 1, 0...
I heard. Overwhelming even from the first day, apparently huh.
I don't want to hear it from the guy who's doing an internet search for Gotanda, CA, stocking.
Gotanda: name of a place CA: cabin attendant
Hara Heita, 60 years old.
In the neighborhood more or less known as a person of character.
The experiment was a failure, it's okay to admit that honestly.
Tonkou does not need women.
The spirit of austerity and fortitude will sway.
The only people who are so particular about traditions and school spirits are former students, you know.
What? Current students seek change.
At least the boys
Those who are for coed, raise your hand.
I think the girls have a little bit of expectations too.
Why are you that intent on coed?
Kabayaki Santarou's "Sorry, Youth!"
Brought to you by night snack Eel Pie.
Radio name "Wind-Up Doll"-kun
When you become an adult you understand.
Yes
The appreciation of the time spent at boys school.
Ebisawa?
What?
Quiet.
Hello
Radio name Wind-Up Doll-kun
Yes
You're keeping the fact that you're dating your girlfriend a secret from your surrounding.
Yes.
Because romantic relationships are forbidden by school regulations.
Like I thought it's Ebisawa.
Then, what are you sorry about?
I'm thinking of making it clear to everyone already.
Otherwise I feel anxious.
Feels like I'm being avoided.
Wait, don't just prattle on your own. Your high school is coed? Boys school?
Coed, yeah
Well there's a chance then.
If you love your girlfriend, try facing your honest feelings, can you do it?
But if it's exposed that we're dating...
Sorry, we're out of time. You can, ok
We'll give Wind-Up Doll-kun a Sorry cellphone cleaner as a present.
As usual this this guy does things one-sidedly.
The next day, the female students' attitude changed drastically.
Santouka is called the Matsuo Basho of the Showa era.
Taneda Santouka (1882-1940): author and haiku poet Matsuo Basho: most famous poet of Edo period
Heisuke was completely undermined.
Are you gay?
Nakai-san,
hey, class representative
Ha, what?
It escalated every day
Brought down by the rain
Not brought down
Also brought down by the wind
Not brought down
Won over the heated summer
That was good.
Let's work hard ok
Someone here is without bra.
No, putting that aside, how do I avoid this situation?
Ignore, look for the perp, go to the next classroom and borrow blackboard duster.
Which one... tell me, 3-Choice Akishima!
Boldly, take a risk?
Hey hey hey whose is this?
What are you doing, Droopy Eyes!? We're in the middle of a class!
Are you Shonan no Kaze!?
Shonan no Kaze: reggae band whose member often wave towels when performing
At that time, at Tonkou
Narita-kun, stand up
What's wrong? Stand up
Please read page 37 of the textbook
I can't
Sensei!
What is it, Handa-kun?
This is a characteristic physiological phenomenon that happens to boys when we're tired or sleepy.
Narita-kun didn't do anything wrong.
Sorry, what are you talking about, I don't get it at all.
Are you not feeling well?
Why can't you stand up?
Don't want to stand up? Stand up!
Sit down
Well, although the things that puzzle me are not few,
I will address them with time without rushing.
How about you, Hara-sensei?
Honestly, I'm losing confidence.
He cries every night when he gets home.
Even if we're not getting any results,
depending on the academic tests at the end of this month,
we are also considering going back to how things were.
Wait a minute, you're the one who said merger because of bankruptcy...
We have another sponsor.
International Culture Exchange Information Digital University?
I've never heard of it.
Rather than a third-rate university like Komagata,
getting together with a fishy nouveau riche university is better, is that it?
Pretty much like an easy woman who sleeps with anybody that has money then!
What did you say!
Vice principal!
We must not bite the provocation
Looking at her feet, she's late and has missed marriageable age.
Watch your mouth!
By all means go suck up and have them help you!
From Digital International Pro-Wrestling University!
Is it okay not to make him stay?
I didn't call him in the first place today.
I don't feel like we can win the academic tests.
If their average is lowest among their year,
we're calling off the merger, alright?
While the homeroom teachers are chased into a corner, the students were
Wet Rice Cracker
Baron Bra
Prince Droopy Eyes
Nishikido Ryo's character in Ryusei no Kizuna (also Kudo Kankuro's work) was called Wet Rice Cracker too
thinking of nicknames for that homeroom teacher.
Flashy Heisuke
From here, Flashy Heisuke, right?
What about Sagging Heisuke?
Right, his entire face is sagging.
Sexual Harassment Rubber Punk! Like, feels like his texture is rubbery.
Spirit Droopy Kappa?
Kappa: a spirit from Japanese folklore
Heisuke the Kappa
Abe-san...
What do you want Ebisawa?
Can't you tell by looking? We're having an important discussion.
Let's go home together
With me?
No...
With Abe-san.
Haa? What the hell, I don't get it?
Why does Abe-chan have to go home with you?
Because...
Because Amarin is my girlfriend!
Amarin, he said!
Ave-san, you're dating Ebisawa?
No wrong, wrong, no no no...
I don't care about getting found out. I'm not afraid of getting suspended.
I see nothing but Amarin.
I'm only looking at you!
What's this? Public proposal?
Is he an idiot?
That night, Abe Amari ran away from home.
Hachiya-sensei
Good evening
Mrs. Abe
Sorry for doing it this way, from the 2nd term, I am...
She went to cram school around 7 o'clock.
She didn't come back so I got worried and asked.
Apparently she skipped cram school.
I'm Hara, the homeroom teacher.
It's 10:30 huh. Has she been looking different at school?
Don't look at me you fag! I'll sue you for sexual harassment!
I wouldn't know how she normally is so...
Oh!
What is it?
Ebisawa...
No no Ebisawa?
No no...
What about Ebisawa-kun?
You're not with her?
No, I'm by myself.
I listened to the radio.
Something happened right? Tell me the truth.
I told everyone that we're dating.
And then Amarin cried.
But that's all that happened today. Really.
Okay, hmm, got it.
If she calls you tell me.
Anyway since earlier what about Ebisawa!?
No, that was...
There's no time to explain.
It's because those two are dating!
Hey Donmai-sensei, what the heck!?
He's lying.
Huh?
Who are you?
I'm someone who's been posing as Narita of Class 3 and participating in the messaging app chat room.
Isn't that a crime?
Ebisawa-kun's post
"Crap, looks like Heisuke caught me"
That punk...
Don't!
Akishima "Really!? In any case go in somewhere!"
Ebisawa "Somewhere where?"
Akishima "Manga cafe?"
Ooki "Hotel, of course"
Does that mean those 2 are together?
Ebisawa "That's not okay? Like a real elopement then!"
Akishima "Better than being counseled right?"
Furui "Found the new Rokudenashi Blues stamps!"
Haa!?
He always interrupts without a care
Ooki "While you're at it, do it in one shot?"
What the heck, Ooki, he's noisy!
Could you get a specific place?
Then, pose as Narita
By the way you guys...
where art you now?
She's confirming Narita's nonstandard pattern of speech
Where art right??
Send
I can't keep up
When you allow students to have cellphones this sort of adverse effects occur.
Because they have them, we're able to get news, right?
How is it going?
Really! Rokudenashi Blues stamps one after another!
AAA scary!
I'll make him stop right now.
There it is! Gotanda
In Tokyo?
I am very much used to people being different from the pictures.
With CA, stocking, and big-breasts as the conditions,
that it turns out like this, what a miss.
Gotanda is something to be reckoned with!
I got them
Thanks
Which do you want?
This one
You stupid!
Narita: By the way aren't your parents worried? Narita: Isn't it better to at least let the school or Sensei know?
Hello
Heisuke, are you coming home today?
Haa?
Seems like Dad is going to be late.
Well, no big deal
A danka gave us Australian beef steaks!
danka: Buddhist parishioner
Right?
But it comes in 2 per vacuum pack,
so if we take out your share we'll have one extra.
that's why, can you not come home today?
Now is not the time for that!
I'm sorry
Darn it, looks like Ooki-kun is smelling me posing.
"You're not Narita, are you? Who are you?" He noticed!
"I'm Narita yo"
Send
Is that okay?
I'm at my limit! I was thinking wow I got so far!
There! Ooki "Sorry for suspecting you"
What an idiot!
But you know what!
Put it in a ziploc and in the fridge, it should keep for 2-3 days, right!? 2-3!
What are you talking about?
Let's go in
"Change" means improved from before, right?
That's a minor change, isn't it? Do a major change, a major one!
Even Obama said change.
What were we talking about? Obama, nothing to do with Obama.
In any case, I'll be waiting here so tell the boss properly, okay?
CA, stocking, big breasts!
Wait up
It's stopped.
Did something happen, I wonder.
What is it at a time like this?
Hello
How do I explain this?
It's okay. You can trust me.
We all are looking for ways to live with slight wounds.
Anyway, that you met me here,
absolutely must not be disclosed to my son or the school...
Excuse me
It's not like I was expecting for jokes!
They borrowed taxi fare to Mishima from the lewd chief priest,
and the two youngsters' attempt at elopement ended.
Roughly how old?
Older than me then!
I thought if it became coed we could be together all the time,
but actually being together all the time is like...
What?
I'm conscious about how my friends look at me and can't talk to Ebisawa-kun,
I'm conscious of Ebisawa-kun that I can't get noisy or talk bad with friends.
Like,
it's not fun.
I'm having tons of fun!
That's because Ebisawa-kun doesn't look at anything but me.
Are you looking at boys other than me?
I'm not.
You are.
Hara-sensei
Is this the coeducation that you pictured?
No
God created humans incomplete,
separated men and women.
In order for them to supplement each other
and approach complete existence.
However
I wonder about them as the descendents.
Conscious of the eyes of the opposite sex, dressing up, lying,
no attempt at reflecting even after causing an uproar.
Convinced by Hara-sensei's zeal,
I consented to this experimental merger.
But letting these 2 study in the same classroom
as a clergy, I cannot allow this.
By chance, this time, because of a kind and sensible bystander
the elopement was able to be prevented.
But if coed continues on, this kind of problems will occur.
I think this ought to be reevaluated at the roots.
Reevaluated, you mean stop the merger?
Isn't it too harsh? Everyone makes mistakes.
Hmm? Chief priest you're slurring today.
Am I?
Uhm, this is off topic but...
You shouldn't
What should we do about the cultural festival?
Totally unrelated!
I wonder if we should hold it jointly...
In a situation like this, an escapism?
Of course, we'll work hard for the tests too,
But high school life is not all about studying.
School events are also important education, right?
About that, Mishima Festival is Sanjo's biggest event.
In the first place, we did not raise a single objection
and your nerves are admirable for claiming the name Mishima Festival,
but because of that ours is Men Festival.
You pretty much never have overlapping material with Nishikou's culture festival
but every year you overlap with our Men Festival, don't you?
Should I spell it out for you?
We do not wish for Tonkou students to come.
Who wants to go!?
To a boring festival by yes men.
That's why! We both don't know at thing about each other's cultural aspect's outcome.
But, if I borrow the sister's words,
we should supplement the lacking part of each other.
For example setting up the stage, boys do the physical work,
girls manage customer service or delicate activities.
Isn't that the same as coed?
They don't know stuff that students of coed school think of as a given experience.
I disagree.
Why? Our school buildings are this close.
The budget and scale can be doubled.
Hara-sensei's talk is always idealistic.
Not facing reality and just keeps repeating armchair theories.
The words of such a leader do not resonate in the students' heart.
How about you face the students in front of you head on first?
So, it has been decided that
Abe-san will be admitted to Tonkou 3rd Year Class 3.
Why is it Abe-chan?
That's right, Ebisawa could just go back to Tonkou.
Anyway, shouldn't it be suspension?
Dating a Tonkou student is cause for suspension. It's written in the student handbook.
Suspension!
Wait up, isn't that school regulation unreasonable in the first place?
The result of student body research.
Girls whose grades fell suddenly, 80% of them were dating Tonkou students.
But...
Not "but," that's the end you idiot!
Be quiet. Please be quiet.
There was! There was!
What was?
When I was still Madonna
there was a plan for joint cultural festival.
Here, the information from that time.
Recently, 10 members for Tonkou and Sanjo Joint Cultural Festival organizing committee were elected.
Who was pictured there was the person whom Heisuke had feelings for Hachiya Yuko.
In other words, Risa's older sister.
Hachiya-sensei, a phone call from Sanjo.
Again?
I see nothing but you
Why can't you date Tonkou students?
Because we'll catch the pidstu right?
Why would you catch the pid...stupid, is what we're discussing today.
Okay here. Ebisawa, read it.
I see nothing but you.
Yes, girls,
this is the routine phrase that men who are drowned in love say.
Do you want to get told such a thing?
Jinbou-san
Well...depends on the guy right?
If Matsuoka Shuzo told me that, I'd get anxious.
Matsuoka Shuzo: former tennis player, known for being passionate and hot-blooded
Bir wants to get told by Shoei.
Shoei: an actor
Th...Then how is it in physics?
Distance where I see nothing but you, how much do you think that is?
Furui, Bircken, come to the front.
Come to the front.
How is it Furui? Can you only see Bircken?
No. The blackboard, the window,
cellophane tape, and fatty, I can see them.
What up you punk!
By the way what's this? What experiment?
Get nearer. Get nearer until you can't see anything but Bircken.
Seriously?
Come, Bir doesn't mind.
If you touch me I'll kill you though.
How is it Furui?
I can only see Bircken now.
I see. Then, can you see that Bircken?
Huh?
Oh... I can only see her vaguely.
Yes. Alright step away.Thanks, go back.
In conclusion, men who say "I see nothing but you"
all together
"I can't see you either"
Right.
He actually can't see you who are the whole point.
Sanjo and Tonkou are this close, but actually...
The distance is too close so they don't see each other, is that what you want to say?
If that's the case then stop the coed.
I think we should put more distance between us.
There wasn't a smart kid like Nakai-san
when I was a Tonkou student.
Actually, Sanjo and Tonkou were not getting along badly like now.
I know. Tonkou lent their pool in the summer, right.
That's not a lie. There was even talks of doing joint cultural festival.
I was a lousy student,
so I said cultural festival was something only the model students get excited about.
I acted coldly but honestly I was jealous.
Was it exciting?
No, in the end we didn't do it.
Why?
14 years ago...
I know! Yaoya Oshichi
Yeah
You girls heard too right, during summer break 14 years ago
the chapel was burned to the ground in a fire.
There was a couple of Sanjo and Tonkou students there.
Both of them were the serious, model student type who are also in the student body.
Especially the girl, she was plain, mature,
the kind that lay low
That's like Abe-chan and Ebisawa.
Yeah. That's why, classmates and teachers were shocked.
Before long awful rumors spread.
Like someone had heard the 2 talking that if the there was a fire at school, there would be a merger, and they could always be together.
That couldn't have been true!
Because
Even the best friend didn't know that the 2 were dating.
I wrote this, read it.
Thanks.
It's working, I'm telling you
Definitely working
In the 2nd term, the guy couldn't stand the bad mouthing and started missing school.
And just like that left secretly.
Even so the girl
bravely continued going to school.
Of course she was exposed to prying eyes.
A plain, serious girl seduced her lover
and made him commit arson at school, there was no doubt, they said.
Without denying or refuting, she kept going to school every day.
Hey hey wait up
Because of your fault the cultural festival is suspended, what are you going to do?
It's your fault! Say something!
Stop it! Stop it you thugs!
Oi Hachiya say something!
Love and humility and chastity!
Hei-chan, dinner?
Don't need
You don't have to eat it, make me some. It's too much trouble for me.
Noisy. Leave me alone.
Weird kid. Ah right Heichan
What?
Phone
Hello
Hello it's Kaba-san from Sorry Youth!
Are you Rocket Fireworks-kun?
Hello! What are you sorry about?
You wanted to say sorry and sent us a message right? Hello?
Did we get it wrong?
You're correct! Wait...eh Kaba-san! Whoa!
I always listen.
You're lying. You weren't listening, were you?
I'm sorry. Today, by chance...
I read your message. Rocket Fireworks-kun,
so in other words she is on a bed of thorns at school now?
Yes
Then, right now, whatever words would save her, don't you think?
Even "good morning" is fine, first try talking to her.
No, I know what I should say to her. But...
Don't talk on your own!
Listen to me, with even one word from you
she might be able to take a huge step forward.
The time is now. Face your honest feelings.
Yes
Alright, we'll give you a Sorry eel sticker.
Here is an announcement from Mishima Tourism Association.
I'm sorry
Sorry
I'm really sorry
Good morning
Good morning!
Stop it
That time, I first noticed it.
She was crying.
She had been crying the whole time.
While walking, she was always crying.
The next day, she submitted request to drop out.
She was precisely able to take a huge step forward.
The night Abe-san ran away from home, for some reason I remembered that girl.
That I couldn't save that girl.
Did you love her?
By the way, can I eat desserts?
Yeah... uh...
Yeah...
In the end, what do you want to say?
That when Tonkou and Sanjo students date it will be a mess?
Or that once you make a failure during high school
you won't be able to stand back up again?
No, that's not what I meant.
Then what do you mean?
Anyway, was the culprit caught in the end?
Unsolved apparently.
Then that couple did the arson after all.
No.
What, you're talking about "you reap what you sow"?
NO!
What I wanted to say is
the school regulation that restricts you, in the first place was
made by adults with such ridiculous reasons.
Because your ridiculous seniors were guilty of committing
just one hopeless blunder,
you were separated. Girls despise boys.
Boys became subservient. In any case Tonkou neglected Tonkou self-discipline anyway and arrived to the present day.
Don't you think it's idiotic?
Not even knowing the real reason,
because he's Tonkou, because she's Sanjo, they can't date,
If anything, I want to praise Ebisawa and Abe-san who break the rule.
Thank you for giving me the trigger to think.
Alright, applause.
Not doing it eh. You won't of course
But you know, let's take this chance and think.
Are boys really detestable? Are girls really troublesome?
Didn't you just decide on that? Are you influenced by people around you?
Are you not looking because you're too close?
Think about it. Face each other.
I'm sure you should find something good!
What if we don't find it?
Be quiet.
Don't turn this into a joke.
Let's listen to Droopy Kappa's talk until the end.
Thank you
So that six months from now
you all think that "I'm glad I was in the coed class,"
I will do my best, too.
That's all.
Rise
Bow
Droopy Kappa?
Hachiya-sensei, uh since which part were you listening?
What about?
No, nothing.
I think it resonated a little.
What you said today.
When Nakai-san argued you were on pins and needles though.
Is that so. It would be great if that was the case.
Okay then. Since I'm here anyway I'll talk to the principal.
About the joint cultural festival.
The proposal, I'm counting on you.
Yes
I am Abe Amari.
Uhm, I have a boyfriend in Sanjo...
Don't say unnecessary things. Go to your seat.
Over here.
Alright. Somehow I managed to get here, Mom.
You worked hard, Hei-chan.
Well done
But I couldn't say it after all.
Forget it.
A hopeless blunder by a ridiculous senior
I can't do that
I guess.
Then, do your best
How kind of you
Well I am a Bodhisattva
About that, isn't our patron god the Buddha of Healing?
Is that so? Not me?
So you didn't know.
I was wondering why you're kept here.
I guess because you look like Mom?
Oi, Heisuke
Try asking Dad, okay
No way
What, you're going out?
Yeah, meeting for joint cultural festival.
This Goddess of Mercy...
Sexy, huh
You're the worst
Uhm
Gotanda
OL
stocking
Ow!
Good evening
Welcome
Today Mama is off?
I'm sorry, yes. Seems like she got food poisoning from raw oysters.
Would beer be okay?
Satoshi?
Yeah, Beiyan
Oops, not cold at all. Is room temperature okay?
Not "Yeah, Beiyan"! Huh!?
Sorry I'm late
Welcome
Gomen ne Seishun!'s theme song!
Sung by Kanjani8, "Itta Janaika"

I don't care about merger or cultural festival!
If Hara-sensei's class is not the last place in Sanjo, pass.
Until the exams sleep here and study.

I will work something out!
Forgive me, Beiyan! Exactly like that
