Episode 5 "You Mustn't Kiss Her, Okay?"
What's the matter?
O-Oh, nothing much!
Really?
By the way, I'd like you to switch bodies with me.
Huh?!
W-Wait a second!
N-Now's a bad time!
That's right. Yamada's got something he has to attend to.
If you want to kiss that badly, I'll do it.
That's not happening.
A-Anyway, could you wait a little longer?
I see. I don't mind switching at lunch break instead, then.
Huh? If you're looking for Odagiri-san, she's not here.
Huh? Then where is she?
Dunno!
Nene-san hasn't shown up.
Huh?!
Hurry, hurry!
I made her a lunch box, too!
Odagiri-san will be delighted!
Hey, did you just say "Odagiri"?
You're...
Yamada!
Run away!
Wait!
Top Secret
What's this?
Top Secret
Grade Rank Register
A list of grades?
Kind of creepy...
Off Limits
Hey, the old school building's that way!
Yamada-kun.
Sh-Shiraishi?
I'd like for you to switch bodies with me now.
N-No, it looks like I'm still gonna need some time.
Do you have some sort of problem? If so, I'll help you.
It's not that big a deal, I'll be fine! See ya!
Wait!
Are you sick of switching bodies with me?
I'm sorry! The ranking list we finally got hold of was stolen by Yamada!
It's all right. More importantly, you're not hurt?
N-No!
Um, this is a lunch box for you!
Oh, gosh. I'll eat it later!
Thank you.
Yes!
We, the Odagiri Nene elite guards, pledge our absolute allegiance!
We pledge it!
Well, then, please excuse us!
Good work!
Aw, they're so useless!
It must be because he knows Shiraishi Urara was absent from the mock exam yesterday.
I wonder if that damaged Miyamura a little?
Yamada, on the other hand, is more capable than I thought.
He rubs me the wrong way.
Oh? Why?
Why did you kiss a guy like Yamada?
If you're going to use him, you might as well use me instead.
My, are you jealous?
N-Not really!
It doesn't hurt anything to charm him.
It will decrease Miyamura's number of followers, too.
I suppose if you say so, there's nothing I can do about it.
Still, he's quite late, isn't he?
Yamada!
It wouldn't be strange if he were obsessed and came looking for me,
but he hasn't shown up at all!
That idiot probably just hasn't realized he's fallen in love with you yet.
Alternatively, Yamada doesn't know the old school building is our hideout.
That's true,
but doing something about that is what the charm power is all about!
Hey, he isn't coming after all!
And even after we deliberately came out, so he would find you right away.
I doubt it, but you don't suppose the charm power didn't work on him, do you?
Has that ever happened before, even once?
You're right... But then, why hasn't he come?
For now, we should wait for our adversary's next move.
Yes! That's exactly right!
But I can't take it anymore! I mean, this is totally weird!
N-No, come on...
Also, for some reason, I haven't been able to stop thinking about Yamada all day.
I'm going to go look for him.
Huh? H-Hey!
She's been thinking about Yamada?
What's going on?
I see. So your power has changed?
Still, I'm glad. I was positive you thought I was a bother.
No! Not at all!
I should have told you right away. Sorry.
Hey, Yamada-kun.
Kiss me.
Wh-What're you talking about?! Were you listening to me?
What do you think'll happen if you kiss me?
Yes, I know.
That's why I want to do it.
Wh-Why?!
I-It can't be. Is she saying she's okay with falling in love with me?
Don't blame me for whatever happens!
H-Huh? We switched!
Hey, we totally switched, didn't we?!
I knew it. That's what happened.
Huh? What "happened," exactly?!
Listen, Yamada-kun. You mustn't kiss Odagiri-san anymore, okay?
Well, this is a surprise. Did you know about their relationship?
Hey, Odagiri?
Hey!
So Yamada didn't fall under my spell after all.
It appears so, but...
Don't tell me you're—
I thought so. Does this mean she's fallen in love with Yamada?
Why? Why did things turn out this way?
It's almost like she's fallen prey to her own spell!
I'm going to explain everything in order. Listen carefully.
Y-Yeah.
First, the power to charm others: this is Odagiri-san's power.
You've got a point.
Wait. Then why did I have Odagiri's power?
Because that's your power.
Isn't my power to switch bodies—
No. Your power is to copy.
Huh? Copy?
By copy, you mean copy? To reproduce or duplicate?
Yes. You end up copying the power of anyone you've kissed.
If so, then where did the power to switch bodies come from?
Yamada-kun, think about it.
Y-Yes.
Remember. Who was the first person you switched bodies with?
That's correct. That's my power.
You've been copying and using my power all this time.
No way, for real?
Ow... What the?
Yamada, you bastard! What did you do to Odagiri Nene?
What did I do? What the hell do you think you're doing?!
Nobody knows about me.
Entrance Ceremony
Nobody will pick fights with me!
Now I can finally live the life of a normal student!
I'll change!
Hey.
Why are you here, Ryu?
Ushio?
I'll just say this. I've got no intention of hanging out with you anymore!
Obviously! Don't go getting in my way all the time!
Yo, you guys! What're you reading?
I like manga and stuff, too!
What's this? Incantations?
Do you like classical literature, too?
All right! Those guys are listening to music, this oughtta work out!
Super English Conversation
What do you think? This English conversation course is super easy to understand, huh?
Aren't the Renaissance's expressions of the physical body superb?
Damn it. Doesn't look like there's a single guy I'll get along with!
What's going on?
Y-You, too?
How pathetic. Guess there's no hope of a guy like you makin' it in this school, huh?
And you're one to talk?
What the hell was that?
Well, whatever. It's still just the first day!
The real deal is yet to come!
In the end, we're gonna be together every day anyway!
The guys in this school are all frickin' lame!
There's nothing we can do about it. They live in a different world from us.
Damn. Is it gonna be like this for three whole years?
Looks like it.
What?
But that doesn't mean every day has to be boring.
You got that right.
What's happened to you, man? Why are you so obsessed with that woman?
Besides, you're the one who kept your distance from me!
And now just as you show back up—
Quiet!
You're the one who laid the trap first!
Huh? What trap?
Then why is Odagiri Nene in love with you?!
Huh?
I see. That's what happened!
So you're saying Yamada copied Odagiri's charm power
and she fell in love with him because of it?
That's how it would work out.
That makes this easy, then.
In order to turn Odagiri back to normal, she just has to kiss Yamada one more time.
Yamada will copy her power once more and cancel out her charmed state.
Oh, I get it.
You hadn't figured that out yet?
Okay, I'll bring Odagiri Nene. That will do, right?
I refuse.
Huh?
What?
Quit screwing with me. Why do I have to listen to your request?
Yamada-kun, you can't just do that, can you?
These guys have made my life terrible up 'til now!
That's true, but...
It's just as you say, Yamada.
Allow me to apologize for everything I've done to you.
And of course, I will delete the photo from the school camping trip.
I'm fine with pulling her from the
student council presidential election next term, too.
So please...
I'm begging you! Turn Odagiri back to normal!
Wh-Who cares? Let's go, Shiraishi.
We've got nothing to say to this guy.
Fine. We'll turn Odagiri-san back to normal.
Huh?
What do you think you're saying without consulting me?!
I just gave the obvious answer.
Why are you deciding that on your own?
Are you saying you're okay with Odagiri-san liking you this way forever?
Uh, yeah, I am!
She'll end up loving you, unrequited, the rest of her life, you know?
Th-That's right!
H-Hey, could it be that you're jealous—
Knock it off.
You're not angry with Odagiri-san.
You're just holding it against Ushio-kun.
Th-That's not really it...
In that case, turn Odagiri-san back to normal.
Or are you going to keep being stubborn?
I-I'm telling you that's not it!
Fine. I've just gotta do it, right? Man!
I'm glad.
In that case, come here after school.
Got it.
Hey, Ushio!
Did you kiss Odagiri?
Yeah, I did.
Then you must know you've fallen victim to Odagiri's power!
Are you okay with that?
It's fine.
I like who I am now.
Hey, Yamada.
Huh?
Aren't those students from our school?
Please stop.
It's fine!
The hell you lookin' at, huh?
You wanna throw down with us?
You're looking down on us! We'll take you on!
Hey, it'll be bad if this turns violent!
Then just stand there and watch!
Can't do that...
Those guys were pretty tough!
Huh? That woman we saved isn't here.
Huh?
Student Guidance Room
A one-week suspension?
And I'm the only one being punished? What's going on?!
You single-handedly caused that fight yesterday, right?
Huh? Single-handedly?
We have two witnesses.
One is a female student at our high school,
and the other is someone you often spend time with,
Igarashi Ushio.
Ugh, it's Yamada.
Scary!
I hear he was suspended.
I knew it.
H-Hey, Ushio!
So basically, it's Odagiri-san's fault that everyone in school ended up hating you?
How tragic! Even though it's Yamada!
All the same, you have my sympathies.
Those snide comments aren't necessary!
And hey, why're you guys tagging along?
Oh, we're Supernatural Studies Club members. It's only natural.
Odagiri is my rival in the student council presidential election.
This way.
Could I get you to turn me back to normal without delay?
Shouldn't it be "please" turn me back to normal?
What's with you, Miyamura?
You only gained sway with the president due to others' powers, right?
Anyway, now that I've learned what you've got up your sleeve,
I won't let you do as you please any longer.
Yeah, I'll be looking forward to it.
Yamada, before you turn me back, I need to talk to you.
Let us be alone.
Huh? What do you need to talk about?
Honestly, you just don't get how women feel, do you?
I'm sure it must be difficult for her to kiss you with all of us watching.
Urara-chan, let's go outside.
Y-Yes.
What they call a "warrior's compassion," huh, Igarashi?
Whoa, that's an immense jealous aura...
So, what do you want to talk about?
Don't "what" me! I went through hell thanks to you!
Huh?
Although it was because of the charm power,
I couldn't help but think about you!
I couldn't concentrate in class, was careless about my student council work...
I was waiting in vain for you the whole time!
And yet just when I finally found you, you were kissing Shiraishi-san!
In that case, I'll turn you back to normal right away!
So please, I want you to let me stay this way.
I never knew my power could make someone feel so happy.
It's fine. I like who I am now.
Or will it bother you if I'm interested in you like this?
I can't do that.
Because I'll absolutely never fall in love with you.
What's he acting so high and mighty for?
All done?
Yeah.
That's one case solved.
What is it?
The Seven Wonders of Suzaku High School
Volume One
"The Seven Wonders of Suzaku High School"?
Suzaku High School Supernatural Studies Club
The Supernatural Studies Club?
Why do you have one of the Supernatural Studies Club's notebooks?
I found it here.
Oh, hey, is this...
The Legend of the Witches
Yeah. It appears there are students called "witches"
at Suzaku High who possess mysterious powers.
What's that?! Let me see!
"Based on the results of our Supernatural Studies Club research,
the witches' powers are as follows.
(1) The Power to Charm (2) The Power of Telepathy The rest, to be continued in "Volume Two."
One, the power to charm.
Two, the power of telepathy.
The rest, to be continued in 'volume two.'"
Hey! Hand over volume two!
We don't have it.
We didn't find it.
That means powers other than ours do exist.
We have to look for them!
Huh? Spare me from getting involved in any more trouble!
You fool!
How're we supposed to look for them without you, Yamada? You're our witch detector!
W-Witch detector?
Come on, you're the one and only person the witches' powers don't work on.
I'm telling you, I'm fed up with getting dragged into this crap already.
All the more reason.
That's why we'll search for them.
Yamada-kun. You changed my world.
I'm sure the same goes for Odagiri-san.
I believe the witches want you to find them.
Now that Shiraishi-san's said as much...
You can't turn her down, can you?
G-Guess there's no way around it!
I was ordered by the Supernatural Studies Club president, after all!
This is a good opportunity for you guys, too.
Want to join our club? We'll look for the witches together!
True, I am curious about the witches.
Right?
But I'll have to decline your offer.
What?
I don't think I can go along with your vulgar ways,
and I'll pass on colluding with my rival in the student council presidential election.
So you'll join if Miyamura quits?
That's so mean, Ito-san.
For the record, I have no intention of apologizing.
For when I pushed everything to do with that fight onto you and ran away.
Huh?
This was for the best.
I mean, wasn't it?
We came to this school to live this sort of school life in the first place.
We sure did.
Say, Ushio-kun.
What is it, Odagiri?
I think you might be in first place.
Wh-What?
Next time on Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches: "Respond!"
Wh-What does that mean?!
I meant you're the tallest of us all.
I-Is that right?
