I'm telling you, none of us can do it.
Fine, then I'll write it.
You'll do it?
I'm not confident about it.
You're not?!
Don't worry about it! Just ask them to do it!
They live for times like this, right?
To be honest... I don't really want to go over there.
I know. Please, you go see them, President.
Huh? Excuse me? You're giving me orders?
Huh. You must've gotten a promotion. Huh...
No, I didn't mean it like that...
Then Unyuu...
I've got to work...
Shinba-san...
Same with me.
Asahina...
Die.
Wha...?! Die?!
Hey, come on. Stop shirking your duty and just go.
What are you being so sensitive about?
I-I'm not being sensitive!
Alright, I'm going.
Episode 51: Happy to Meet You
What the hell are you doing?
What is that? Scotch tape?
Yeah. Scotch tape.
How 'bout you, Switch? You try it, too!
I'm already doing it.
Tsubaki!
What are you morons doing?!
Welcome, welcome, Tsubaki!
Should I apologize? It's not like I wanted to come here...
What was that glare for? You're not scary in the least, "little brother"!
Have some tea! Yeah?
C-Cut it out, Onizuka! Let go of me!
Y'know, I still can't get over it!
Whoa. You could knock me over with a feather.
Twins! You guys are twins!
That's hysterical!
Shut up!
What are you so excited about?!
It's got nothin' to do with you!
Oh, what's this? You're embarrassed, huh? Tee-hee!
Hey!
You're brothers, right?! Yo, big bro!
Hey...
Get a little closer to him! Right next to him!
Cut it out! Cut it...
Get up against him!
And shake hands!
Why?!
Please, would you just quit it?! Leave us alone!
I hate it when two elementary school kids fight and everybody around
is callin' for 'em to bury the hatchet, whether they want to or not!
And in the first place, we haven't been fighting!
In that case, talk to each other more!
But you know what it is?
When I think that you're Bossun's younger brother,
you suddenly get a lot cuter!
Hi, Tsubaki!
Hey, Tsubaki!
Just a sec! I'll get you some candy!
I don't want any!
Let it pass. When it comes to this subject, Himeko gets hyper.
And actually, I'm also a little nervously excited!
What? What are you so happy about?
Y'know, it's funny!
When you guys are next to each other like this, I see the resemblance!
I never noticed before!
The facial parts are similar, but they give off a totally different vibe.
That's true. They are different like that.
Maybe it's the hairstyle?
Bossun looks like a doofus with his mussy hair,
while Tsubaki's is cut too short.
W-What are you talking about? Nothing says we need to look like each other...
Wrong! I want to liven things up by having you two look the same!
Livelier than this?!
That's right! Tsubaki, try wearing a wig.
Switch, you got a wig? A kinda longish one?
Like he'd have a wig!
A Bossun-type wig?
Why do you have that?!
Oh, that's close! Much closer!
But there's one more step...
How about if we put a hat on him?
Even closer! That's it!
It's Bossun!
Don't move, I'm gonna take a photo!
What?! What is it with you people?!
But when you look closely, they're still a bit different.
You may be able to fool other people, but you can't put one over on us.
I'm not especially trying to put one over on you...
Yeah, it's gotta be the eyes, huh?
Bossun's make him look like a dunce and Tsubaki's eyes are too severe.
Who's a dunce?!
Hey, take the stick out for a second and try to make a dumbass face.
Dumbass? What are you talking about?
I have no clue!
Don't overthink it! Get like you're looking off in the distance!
Imagine that you're a dumbass!
There!
Huh?
Ah, he lost it!
But for a second there, he was the spitting image!
Switch, camera, camera!
Here you are, miss.
Hey, you two!
Turn into a dumbass one more time!
Enough, I said!
What's the idea, inviting the guy in and then have him make faces?!
Yeah, point taken. Sorry 'bout that, my bad.
He came here for a reason, right?! Start by asking him about that!
So ask him already.
Huh?! Me?!
Naturally! You're the leader, right?!
And you guys still haven't said a word to each other!
That's weird for two guys who are brothers! Tee-hee!
Shut it! Seriously, enough of that crap!
You guys are makin' me feel all weird by harpin' on it like that!
Okay. So you want us to write the letters on this banner, huh?
Yeah. All you have to do is write,
"Congratulations Chorus Club on making it
into the National High School Choir Competition!"
Don't give me, "all you have to do"!
Why do you guys ask us to do every little thing?!
You're Student Council, you should do it yourselves!
Hmph, that's what I told them!
But the president ordered me to call on the Sket-dan.
Come to think of it, where's Himeko and Switch?
What, they're making me do it by myself?!
Oh, they're talking to each other! What is this that I'm feeling?
I'm on pins and needles!
I know how you feel.
They're talking to each other.
For some reason, I feel all fidgety.
I knew sending him to them was the right thing to do!
MWK.
(Manma to Wani ni hamatta na, Kuuki-yome-o)
You fell for it hook, line, and sinker, Get-with-the-progra-man!
Hi, guys.
Hi.
So you were curious about the two of them too, huh?
Well... Yeah.
I feel something like a parent's love.
For now, how about we watch over them?
What's wrong? Start writing already.
This pisses me off, havin' the Student Council make me do their odd jobs!
Why don't you write it?!
And when are you gonna come over for dinner?!
That has nothing to do with this!
What do you mean by trying to abandon a job you were asked to do?!
Then we'll each do half. We'll switch off characters.
Bossun Bossun Bossun Bossun
Tsubaki Tsubaki Tsubaki Tsubaki
Switch off?! Won't it lose any sense of unity?
Okay, I'll do the first character.
The "congratulations" in "Congratulations Chorus Club"...
Just so you know, this is the only banner we have.
Screw-ups won't be tolerated, so be careful.
What'd you go and make me all nervous for?!
I wanted to write this thing feelin' at ease!
Whatever, just write it!
It seems they've begun fighting already.
Apparently, they've decided to take turns writing the characters.
Daisey-chan, you've got good hearing.
But this is their first time as brothers.
Their first time working as partners...
I feel a tightening in my chest...
Whatever. Here I go.
Oh, you've got good handwriting.
'Course!
You gotta write these like you're drawing a picture.
There's nothin' to it, as long as you don't make a mistake with the character.
I wrote the character wrong!
What are you doing?!
It's "congratulations"! "Congratulations"!
You don't need the dash in the middle, fool!
Oh, shut up! It's your fault for makin' me nervous, idiot!
What do we do?! This is the only banner we have!
Okay, look at it this way. We just need to get across,
"Chorus Club, you did great!", right?
Well, yeah, but...
So let's do this...
God!
Hmmm... Well... Maybe that'll work...?
This is fine! If anything, it gets the point across more!
Like, speaking about the Chorus Club with passion!
I don't know what's up, but suddenly, he wrote "God".
Give me the brush. It's my turn.
It's a pain in the neck having to keep switching back and forth,
so I'll do my half all at once.
Um, "Chorus Club" is "KO-U-RA-SU-BU" so my part is "KO-RA-BU"...
God! KO-RA-BU
Oh, no!
Idiot!
What's the point of writing them all together?!
You gotta leave spaces in there!
Shut up! It's your fault for saying we have to switch off every character!
What the hell is "Kora, bu"?!
Note: Kora bu = Knock it off, club!
Are you angry?!
You're so angry, you yell at the club?!
If you're that mad, why are you callin' 'em God?!
Enough! You don't condemn a guy when he makes a mistake!
Think of what we should do to fix it!
Fix it? I mean, even if we put in the missing parts...
I think this is done for...
No, wait! Maybe we can salvage it!
If I do this here and this here...
This guy really does have flashes of inspiration...
He's no one to be made light of!
God!
Tanabe-kun
Sings the Praises of the Chorus Club!
God! Tanabe-kun Sings the Praises of the Chorus Club!
Tanabe-kun?
Who the heck is Tanabe-kun?!
I have no idea! But there's gotta be one!
And he praises the hell outta the Chorus Club! Like this!
I was moved-nabe! The Chorus Club is so wonderful-nabe!
I see. But this sentence looks like Tanabe-kun is called "God"!
That's fine! After all, Tanabe-kun is totally charismatic!
Don't you look down on Tanabe-kun!
What the hell are they writing...?
That Tanabe-kun must really be something!
I dunno...
But we used up all this space for these characters.
We're gonna run out of room for the ones at the end.
What else are we supposed to write again?
"The National High School Choir Competition".
That's long! There's just no way.
We'll just have to manage with the space we have left.
It's my turn, right? I'm against it, but I'll abbreviate what's left.
Um... "National High School Choir Competition Participant", so...
Nat'l High Mixer Participant
What?! What the hell is a "national high mixer"?!
Now it sounds kinda indecent!
Why is the whole school supposed to cheer on
these bastards who are gonna participate in a mixer?!
And what's this "Nat'l High"?! Is it genetic, then?!
It sounds like an all high-level mixer for people with huge salaries or height!
I'm impressed the chorus could get in on that!
I'm sure even Tanabe-kun would sing their praises!
Shut up! Shut up!
You're up next!
Huh? We're still going?
I abbreviated too much, so there's actually extra space!
What the hell are you doing?!
Jeez... Fine...
God! Tanabe-kun Sings the Praises of the Chorus Club! National High School Choir Competition Participants!
Congratulations! -Tanabe-kun
Now that's some writing!
Agata-kun, come with me to my office.
Sorry, President...
Hey, this is your fault!
It's your fault!
From just one slap?
What the hell are you two fighting about?!
BKK.
(Buzama ni Kizu wo nameae, Kusomushidomo ) Lick each other's wounds, worms.
Hey, Daisey-chan!
Please be a little patient.
I'll have one of my people prepare a new banner immediately.
And so, as expected, the brothers' first time working as partners
ended in a fight.
You don't need to wrap it up!
And so it ended-nabe. Tanabe...
Don't you wrap it up either!
Sket Dance!
Jeez... The Nikkei average stock prices are a disaster.
They won't stop. It's like going down a bottomless pit...
What are you reading the paper for, Bro?
I always read the paper!
Yeah, if you count the comics page and TV listings.
What are you so fidgety about?
Excuse me? I'm not fidgety at all!
Why are you wearing your Sunday best?!
Don't make a thing out of this!
I-I'm not making a thing...
Somebody's here! Rumi, get the door!
Huh? Somebody? We know who it is!
You get the door, Bro!
Oh, phone call. Hello?
That's low!
Oh, Switch! Huh?
Now? I'm not doin' anything.
You liar! There's no way you're on the phone with Switch!
He doesn't talk!
You two! What are you dragging your feet for?!
Hurry up and get the door!
Coming!
Welcome.
Good evening.
Nice to meet you. I'm Tsubaki Sasuke.
Thank you for inviting me this evening...
Stiff!
Come on in! I'm Akane.
You heard about me from Yuusuke, right?
Uh... Yes.
Don't be so respectful!
You better eat a lot. Are you hungry?
Um... Yes.
Let me get a good look at your face.
You've got long eyelashes.
You don't really look like each other, so I guess you're fraternal twins...
Yuusuke looks like his dad, Ryousuke.
You look like your mother... Haru.
Um...
I'm sorry. Thank you for coming tonight.
I'm so happy to meet you.
Don't hold back at dinner now. I expect you to fill up, okay?
Okay.
I've got a lot of photos and videos of your real parents here.
Yes, I've heard.
I've been looking forward to seeing them.
Oh, that's right! You probably already know this,
but there's one more member of our family.
I'll introduce you.
Th-This is Rumi.
Well, welcome.
Hmm...
I was wondering what kind of person Bro's twin brother was...
But you seem to be a pretty decent person.
Still, if you want to get close to me, I'll tell you, it isn't that easy!
Close to you?
Tribute!
Let's see. If you don't bring me one or two sweets...
Oh, this isn't much, but I thought we might have it for dessert...
Oh, my! Really, you shouldn't have!
She has the exact same expression...
Huh? Where's Yuusuke?
There he is. Over there.
What's he doing?!
Yuusuke, Sasuke-kun is here!
You should've greeted him at the door!
Huh? What's up?
You say somebody's here? I'm pretty busy...
Oh, hey. Huh?
What are you doing here?
You told me to come over for dinner!
Huh? What? Is that what I said?
Asshole...!
Hey, don't you two fight in here!
I heard about them, but they really are like oil and water...
Oh, a text from Switch.
Watching them is fun!
Come on!
Stupid idiot!
I guess they're fun for people who enjoy fights...
Okay! Sit down, sit down. Let's eat!
Bros, you sit over there.
Hey, why are you makin' us sit next to each other?!
Sasuke-kun, is there any food you don't like?
No.
These are all my favorites.
Tch. Thank you for the food I'm about to eat.
Thank you for the food I'm about to eat.
One of you is left-handed, the other's right, so switch seats!
Jeez, what a pain in the ass! Come on, you sit here!
Don't give me orders! Don't talk to me like that!
Then would you do me the honor of sitting here?
This is...
I can tell this is going to be hard going.
Hah?! You don't know Mobile Force?!
Tsubaki-san, what did you play when you were a kid?
When I was a kid... I liked to be alone,
so I spent a lot of time looking at reference books.
Reference books?!
How dreary!
D-Dreary?
Hold on... I looked at atlases, too!
Atlases?!
Dreary!
Okay, then... What did you play?!
Huh? I played with robots, of course.
Robots?!
How do you play with robots...?
Huh? Well, you make the robots fight each other...
Or make plastic robot models...
Or become a robot...
Become one?!
A robot?!
Just pretending, that's all! Pretending!
Didn't you do that? Pretend to be a super-hero and stuff?
No, not at all...
So... what?! How do you become a robot?!
Huh? Jeez, you're annoying. It's like...
W-What is that?!
So you were one of the Mobile Force?
No! It's the sound and the movement...
Ah, what a pain!
If you're that interested, want me to show you?
No thanks.
Is that right? Fine!
In the end, he did it!
A-All of a sudden! And it looks surprisingly real!
That's right! Don't make light of Bro's body performance skill!
I'll burn your eyelashes off.
Don't burn 'em!
So this video will be the first time you've seen your parents, right?
Yes.
To be honest, ever since I found out the truth,
I didn't especially want to learn anything about my biological parents.
Part of me thought there was no point in it now,
and I think another part was just me running away from it.
But then I thought that this was Fujisa...
Yuusuke-kun's number one reason for inviting me here.
Huh. Cut the soliloquy and just watch!
My mother and father...
I wonder how I'll feel.
Will I get sad? Or...
Is this filming? Yay!
This is a Kansetsu-Man figure!
Yay!
Videos and photos are great, aren't they?
They can give you a sense of being there, even when you weren't.
Well? What are your first impressions of your parents?
I'm happy... I got to meet them.
Me too.
Well, be careful going home. And come over again anytime.
I will. Thank you for this evening's elaborate homemade dinner.
Stiff!
I'll walk you out.
Oh?
Well, well. My, my.
What?!
Oh, nothing.
Hmph!
Well, I'm gonna do my homework!
Y-You're gonna take it here?
It doesn't matter where I take it!
Just get ready, I'm gonna take it!
Huh? "Self-timer"... Is this it?
What the heck are you doing?!
Huh? That's strange!
You probably should've had Akane-san take it!
Oh, shut up! I'm not gonna ask her to do something embarrassing like this!
Okay, here we go!
Hey, don't get that close!
Well, you're not gonna get me in the shot otherwise!
Yeah, that wouldn't be much of a loss...
Wha...?!
Ah! Look! Screwed up again!
You jinxed it!
Damn it! One more time!
Don't mess it up this time!
So I called Nakatani-san from Class A.
I wanted to get her advice about what to do...
Oh, Tsubaki-kun! Good mornin'!
You guys better not fight first thing in the morning!
Did you handle it?
Shut up, willya? I put it where I said I would.
What are you two talking about?
Oh. Good morning.
Fancy meeting you here.
Well met, everyone.
You know, these two were acting weird.
Like they had some secret...
That's not true!
Ah. You're blushing.
This one looks totally suspicious.
I'll take my time later on getting it out of this guy.
President!
Come on, let's go. We're gonna be late.
Right...
Well...
My heart is throbbing...
Did you see that, Ryousuke, Haru?
So awkward together, even though it was a pair shot!
But maybe they're growing closer, little by little...
Although there's still some distance between them...
So I got an answer from Nakatani-san from Class A...
You weren't done with that story?!
Of course not!
Bossun is a dependable sounding board, isn't he?
But you wouldn't believe it! You wouldn't believe what's happened now!
Here we go, into our 2nd year!
Sket Dance!
I-I don't feel especially thankful!
So who are you?!
Support?
So this is the Sket-dan's clubroom, huh?
I'm Saaya.
We didn't ask...
A tsundere, airheaded, big-boobed, twin-tailed,
big-boobed, knee-socks-wearing bishoujo character, huh?
I-I'm not gonna lose to her!
Next time:
Twin-tailed Tsundere Girl!
So make sure you watch it!
Big boobs, huh?
