Switch Girl - Episode One
Good morning, Nika!
"That good looks are essential for people..."
She is so cute...
Nika, good morning!
...is the exact truth I think."
-Morning!
[ Tamiya Nika ]
Look at this, isn't she super-cute?
-Nika you have done it again!
[ This month's beauty - Tamiya Nika ]
Cute, pretty, beautiful...
...it's great effort for a girl to get praises like these.
But it's the greatest joy to be complimented, so good looks are important.
Moreover...
By the way doesn't something stink?
Yes it does! What is this shocking smell?
Stinks!
Hey, boys!
Don't immediately suspect us for bad odor!
Oiki, is it you?
It's not me!
Why are you suspecting me?
Nika, you too should complain to the boys!
Because of the boys Nika is in discomfort!
To be complained by Mika is...
...something to desire.
That's the first time I hear something like this!
If you look good, no one will suspect you!
The lid of my home cooked lunch loosened,
...and the juice leaked out!
Ah, it's you Nino!
What a trouble to be popular!
You have to hide your true self from people.
What on earth did you put in your lunch?
Horse mackerel and salted fish entrails!
Your taste is nothing like of a typical female student.
I don't eat cute lunches.
Thanks for the food!
Yummy!
It got all mixed up underneath, that's why it's so delicious!
What's with that!
Even if you are in"OFF-mode", farting at your close friend is no way to prevail!
It's fine, we have known each other since kindergarten!
Be careful. If it's found out that inside you are not the charismatic female student everybody thinks, it all will be over in one round.
OK!
You mustn't let people see your "OFF-mode"!
Alright, I will be careful.
Let me explain-
Inside Tamiya's body there is an ON / OFF switch.
Let's have a look at her mode of life in "OFF" status:
When she comes back from school,
...she instantly transforms into this form.
Nothing can beat chicken wings for her, and as she eats up the cartilages too, the sound fills the room with vehement echoes.
Crispy and delicious!
Footnote here: this way of consuming chicken wings is thought by Tamiya to make the dead bird rest in (lovely) piece.
This white root...Mum.
This curly hair is sister's ** hair.
Tamiya in the bathroom likes to search for the origin of the hair roots held in her fingers.
Then Tamiya puts on her "chill-out" knickers [ = lit. "safe-day" knickers ]
Footnote again: on safe days, when there is no threat of being seen, she wears these white knickers, which condition is so bad that the frays are obvious and the rubber is stretched out.
But in certain situations, like changing in school or going on dates, or whenever they could be seen, the "chill-out" knickers must not be worn. Instead, these are the" danger-day knickers ".
Let's have a look at Tamiya's true heroism.
She works hard at the disposal of hidden unwanted hair.
My neck!
Kaori, get the score.
During weekends her mania is playing games until dawn,
But even for this "OFF-mode" Tamiya, when her button is turned "ON" temporarily,
...she fully transforms into a super charismatic female student.
Nika,
...wake up, class is starting!
Don't stop your breathing now, get up!
Hey, let's go class is starting!
Is it that late already?
Perfect!
Oops, someone is here!
Hey, Nino,
...is that guy from our school?
Not sure, haven't seen him before.
Sooo cool!
He's going!
I haven't seen your face before, are you in first year?
Bug off!
Such awful manners!
He's got a pretty face but inside he is rotten!
Nika, the class will begin now!
I thought no one would ever find out about my ON/OFF switch...
...until I met him.
[ Tamiya ]
Delicious!
I'm home!
Sister, welcome home!
The are broadcasting Dizzy Detective Inubayashi Daisuke again!
No way, I'll change and watch too.
How many times did he get dizzy today?
When seeing the corpse, during witness interviewing, and after the kiss so three in total.
He is so handsome when he weakens down like this!
Speaking of that, today at school I met such a bad mannered guy!
Even though he has a pretty face his personality is the worst!
Ill-mannered boys go out with wearisome girls.
Even though he is so handsome...
I'm home!
Welcome back, mum!
Nika, Rika, look at this!
[ Grandpa's Hard* Tale ] - *sexual reference
They are distributing samples, shall I drop some in Dad's miso soup tonight?
I'm sure it's amazing!
I don't want to hear about parents' sexual talk!
Nika. the detective's face has turned pure white!
He is becoming dizzy any second now!
When that happens he knows who the culprit is! You can see the intravenous drip marks on his arm.
Mum, let's watch toge...
Sis!
Mum also looks dizzy!
I forgot the cucumbers!
The "fit all you can" cucumbers?
You must be joking!
What have I done?
I haven't seen mum troubled like this,
...since she slept through an express bargain offer of good quality tuna!
Nika,
What?
Your time has come. Go and buy the cucumbers now!
OK!
Leave it to me!
[ Cucumber - "fit all you can" 1 bag 200 Yen ]
I will set this right!
What is that man...
...doing?
Is he going ot leave like that?
There are only three cucumbers in it!!!
Hey you!
That spectacle man!
If you only put three in it, then it's cheaper loose!
Are you making fun of "all you can fit" offers?
Come here a sec!
Listen,
...you stretch the bag to its limits by this...look!
You have to estimate the cucumber's curve, and put them in one by one so that they are closest to each other.
I have managed to fit 35!
New record!
You,
...do you not go to the shop often?
Yeah.
Oi, oi, oi!
Aren't you gloomy!!
We have squeezed in 35 cucumbers so be more joyful!
Wah, you ARE gloomy!
Some wind came out too!
I'm sorry!
I live here, so...
...bye-bye.
Why are you following me?
Are you a stalker?
No, my home is on the second floor.
So you moved here recently?
Yesterday.
Let me know if you need anything!
Did you know?
There is a boy transfer student!
Is he a hottie?
What if we are charmed by him in just 5 seconds?
I look forward to it!
Surely, he will fall for Nika!
I wonder about that, do you think so Azu?
-Nipa~~ -What's with this "Nipa~"?
What was that boys?!
A hottie for our class?
Yeah right! I'm sure it will be just a weirdo who spends abnormal time on the net.
Bad news! The transfer student is being bullied in the toilets!
What?
Why, isn't that bad!
We have to go save him!
Boys!
BossMonkey from D class is meddling with our class again!
Well then, leave it to me!
Nika is so cool!
Master Nika!
If you saw her true self you wouldn't recover.
Surely.
There he is!
Spectacle-boy from yesterday!
Awful! If it gets out that I was the cucumber girl yesterday,
...everybody in the class will call me a "liar" and chase me away from school!
Then I would cry in an earthen pipe on a vacant land, and when a cute puppy ran to me I would embrace it but it would bite me and in the end an ambulance would transport me away.
Let's run!
I must not!
I can't escape!
So you transferred to the "E" class?
Did you not forget to do your greetings properly to Master Jougasaki?
In that case, our school regulation is to show your underwear to everybody in this school.
Start undressing!
There will be intense punishment.
If you want to have a grudge against someone, have it against that irritating Tamiya.
Let's do it!
Yes!
No use!
I will have to do this.
In a full "ON-mode" I should not be discovered.
Well done, spectacle-boy!
You bastard spectacle!
Come on, let's run!
Despite your looks, you did well!
The cucumber girl from yesterday!
Busted.
Starting today, transfer student Kamiyama Arata will be studying with everyone in 2nd year's "E" class.
He is not a hottie, is he?!
Aren't you a little bit too blunt?
A similar character!
Nika,
...what's with you?
It's over. It's all over.
If the spectacle-boy leaks out my "OFF-mode"...
...my life as a high school student it totally over!
Nika you OK? What happened?
Nino,
...truth is...
What? At the apartment your "OFF" mode got busted by the spectacle boy?
But you are the one who saved him from the gang so if you ask he will keep quest right?
Impossible!
I'm totally done for.
Now I can feel for the students excessively making themselves look fat with clothes after retiring from the baseball club.
You don't have to go that far...
That's not all!
The very same person as cucumber girl from yesterday?
What?
So it's true!
The rude boy from back then!
So it means...
"Are you making fun of "all you can fit" bargains?"
"Some wind came out!"
I let my "OFF-mode" be seen by this rude boy!
Give my glasses back!
Turn it back! Turn time back!!
Don't ignore me, give them back!
It won't turn back!
If the sky would turn black and a dragon appeared I would make this man disappear immediately with no hesitation!
What should I do?
Hurry and return them.
Aren't these window-glass spectacles?
What's the meaning of this?
Why are you wearing these lame thick glasses just for show?
Shut up.
Nevermind, give them back!
I could, but...
But?
...please don't tell on me.
On you?
My little individual lifestyle.
Are you hiding it?
It's not like I'm hiding it...
To think that intense woman can appear to be your current form, women are scary.
Since you said not to tell, it means no one here at school knows.
That's not true.
Nino knows about my "OFF-mode".
Oh shoot!
I totally admitted it.
There is no one who would easily agree to not telling.
Bad! I might be blackmailed!
What would he want? Money? My body? Or...
Alright.
Alright?
Yeah, so don't tell anyone about the time I took the glasses off.
Exchanged conditions.
That's fine,
...but you really won't tell anyone?
Yeah,
...so give them back quick!
Thank God!
But why are you hiding your face?
You would be popular without them.
I hate women.
Are you gay?
No, I'm not!
Anyhow, don't interfere with me any longer.
Got that?
You are hopeless, despite it being forbidden, you told me.
Shoot!
I said it straight away!
When compared, his secret is like sparklers, whilst mine is a missile!
The destructive ability is overwhelming!
Nika, you can be worried about that if you like,
...but it seems there is another trouble coming up.
Trouble?
Miss White Face seems to be looking this way.
Got it.
You should be careful too. If your face is exposed you will be targeted again by BossMonkey.
Don't talk about that! It will look like I leaked it out!
Because you did leak it.
Forgive me!
What? You are annoying. Don't follow me.
I told Nino, so I wanted to apologise.
Why are you ignoring me?
I don't want to talk to women.
Women..?
But aren't you talking to you mother?
I don't have a mother.
Did I just ask about something unpleasant?
My knickers were photographed!
And they are my "chill-out knickers"!
Your "chill-out knickers"?
That uniform is ours! Wait up!
What's that..!
What a troublesome woman!
Oh shoot!
If that photo is seen by the school, my life as an adolescent is totally done for!!
If the photos are scattered through school, faith in me will be completely lost,
...which is followed by popularity going to BossMonkey, and she will be the the one caught up by everyone's attention,
...her posters everywhere, her pictures promoted, a meal named after her,
...surely a festival for her, left and right too, full of monkeys, monkey troops, monkey cultivation...
...then one day even the school will be named after her. [Boss Monkey High School ]
I don't want that!
I took it! A photo of Tamiya Nika's undies!
Don't say "undies" call them knickers.
Well done. I'm heading there now.
You lose, Tamiya Nika!
Ever since we entered high school, she was the center of attention, what an eye-sore!
That ends today.
It took so long, too long!
When I was young, no matter what I did I was best.
I was the number one beauty in elementary school, and appeared on a TV show called "looking for amazing little beauties" as well.
I'm Jougasaki Reika.
When Tamiya appeared in school, my series of victory stopped.
In terms of confessions, and number of friends it was always Tamiya on top.
Even though until now it was always I, the best...
My life's first national disgrace made me swore to destroy Tamiya.
Tamiya,
...this is now me, being serious.
With this, I am Number One!
Shall I have a look at Tamiya's undies?
Boss will get mad, but I want to see so much!
Alright, let's see.
You haven't seen it yet, right?
What?
Hey you!
You....
...pervert!
Just one flat object like a photograph could end up changing a life!
Stop it now.
Such a guy, I will show him!
Any strength hurts it there, so stop it please.
You really are gay!
No, I am not!
Is that true?
However, you are...
...a funny one!
It's the first time I see him laugh.
Amazing...when he smiles.
Such a fine face.
So...these are your "chill-out" knickers?
These are hideous you know!
No~~, don't look!
Don't look!
Please, give it back already!
Dislike!
So these are you "chill-out" knickers?
When drinking something...
...it's more delicious without a cup.
When eating Ramen...
...eat from the pan.
Under the bed...
...unknown items are.
When the shampoo is almost gone...
...you follow this procedure.
When your skin is dry,
...you transport oil from your T-zone.
When you take care of your business outside...
...you deodorise your own butt.
During shopping,
...you reserve items at the moment of price reduction.
When sampling food,
...you escape without buying it by pretending to call your parents.
