Sorry for suddenly asking you to join our practice game.
It's fine. You would help me out in a pinch, too.
I'm gonna knock it outta the park!
Thank you!
Well, I'll go on ahead.
I was peeped on! Somebody spied on me yesterday!
What did he do to my maiden's heart?!
Episode 73: The Time I Fully Came to Know Peeping
I grabbed my bat right away and ran outta there, but the creep had already gotten away!
There it is! Go, Saratani!
You got past the Pipe Grasper!
Next up is Spider Climbing!
You're awesome, Saratani!
Are you totally ignoring me?!
That's Saratani from D class!
He's gotten to the third stage of Sarutobi!
I don't know what the hell you're talkin' about!
Idiot, Sarutobi is incredibly tough!
The majority of people fail in the first stage!
Even if you practice everyday, you can't totally master it.
Saratani is the star of Kaimei Academy!
Now let's cheer for Saratani's Spider Climbing!
Yeah!
Listen to me! I swear, I'll hit ya both!
You already hit us...
P-Peeping Tom?!
On who?
On me! I told you, it happened when I was changing clothes yesterday!
Who was it?
Hell if I know! That's why I'm tellin' you, let's catch the guy!
Where were you changing clothes?
The softball team's clubroom!
I was spied on while changing into the uniform!
Who was?
Me!
You're really askin' to get clobbered!
Listen when somebody's talkin'!
The thing is, nobody would be interested in seein' you change clothes!
The Peeping Tom was probably on the lookout for Captain!
What was that, you damn bug?!
Bug?!
Mm. It seems Himeko's sighting was accurate.
The Student Council is already acting on it.
The Student Council?!
A lowdown crime has been committed.
It took place yesterday.
Yabas!
Where are you, Peeping Tom?!
We cannot overlook the nasty crime of peeping!
In this world where Peeping Toms exist, I'm irresistible!
I'm a yabas woman!
Yabas! The president of Student Council!
N-No running in the halls...
Did something happen?!
Yabas!
Yabaival!
Yabaival dance!
We'll go on patrol and catch the Peeping Tom!
But under no circumstances should you act alone.
So he doesn't get away, we'll cooperate with each other to catch him!
Got it?!
Understood.
Roger.
Is that understood, Usami?
Unyuu...
Right.
Do you understand, Usami-chan?
Yes, I understand, Unyuu-senpai.
It seems she understands.
I can hear!
You got it too, right, Katou?
Put this on.
It's the Student Council armband.
You're a member of the Student Council now, so...
I'll take care of this myself.
H-Hey, Katou!
Hey!
We ain't gonna lose to the Student Council! We'll capture that Peeping Tom!
It isn't for my sake?!
Still, how did he peep through a second-floor window?
You can't really climb cedar trees and a ladder would've stood out...
Unless he climbed up really fast...
Now that's some kind of fast!
The first appearance of Saratani Taiki, and he's climbing with spider-like speed!
He must've had tons of practice!
What's wrong?
This wonderboy contestant is Kaimei Academy's Saratani Taiki!
And he's cleared Spider Climbing in record speed!
I-It's him!
Whoa, whoa! Wait! Wait a second!
Are you guys idiots?!
Why Spider Climbing?!
There's no way!
Climbing up these cedar trees was the only way.
You guys watch too much Sarutobi!
In what world does some guy peep on a girl changing clothes while he does Spider Climbing?!
It's him!
It's Saratani!
He's peeping while Spider Climbing!
What a dumbass!
Hey, Saratani!
Get down here!
Hey, jackass! What the hell are you doin'?!
That's goin' way overboard just to peek at girls!
Shit. I've been spotted...
Please! Don't tell anyone!
Of course we will, moron!
He's taking the offensive...
What's with this guy?
Quit screwin' around! You saw me change clothes, didn't you?!
Who are you?
I swear, I'll murder you!
I'm so ashamed...
Forgive me!
The truth is, I'm in love with Takahashi-san from the softball team!
So his target really was Captain...
Oh my god, I feel so embarrassed!
Why do I have to feel this way?!
At first, I was just practicing Spider Climbing here.
But one time, I noticed I could see right into the softball team's clubroom.
Takahashi-san is on the softball team...
Just one look...
I just want to get one look at her...
And while thinking that...
...I acted on impulse...
Look at yourself in the mirror!
You're totally into peeping!
Enough! Who spills their guts out in a Spider Climbing pose?!
And you saw me changing clothes!
Get your ass down here, numbnuts!
Just come down, Saratani.
Then go to the Student Council and tell them everything.
I'll go with you.
Okay, got it.
I'll come down now.
Thank you, Sket-dan.
What's with this heartwarming scene?!
I ain't satisfied!
What was that?
You, Katou Kiri!
What, you again?
Katou Kiri...
Oh yeah, the guy who's the descendant of a ninja.
Who are you?
B-Bossun! This is Bossun!
He's the leader of the Sket-dan!
Oh. The guy lying in the street that time.
There, there...
H-Hey!
What?
For sure, we can't overlook what this guy did,
but isn't hitting him when he's tied up goin' too far?
You're soft, Sket-dan.
I do things my own way.
So mind your own business.
O-Okay, okay!
You guys don't need to have a glare-off!
Hey, Katou!
Katou!
Tsubaki!
What are you doing here, Sket-dan?
That's my line!
Why's the whole Student Council here?!
Katou... Katou!
Don't you ignore my orders!
I said not to act on your own!
What if he'd escaped?!
What are you talking about?
Oh. This is Katou Kiri, a freshman.
The General Affairs position was open, so he volunteered.
He's a member of the Student Council.
H-He's with the Student Council?!
But this guy doesn't listen to one word I say!
Tsubaki has it rough...
I sympathize with him.
Don't get the wrong idea.
I never said I'd follow your orders
and I don't intend to be part of your "team".
What's that?!
I joined the Student Council so I could become president eventually...
...and make this academy mine.
What's that?!
A short-tempered, long-lashed person like you isn't cut out for Student Council.
Why don't you turn the position over to me already?
What's that-nyan?!
Uh-oh, Tsubaki's gone off the deep end!
I can't hold back any more!
This is unpardonable!
He's saying words like "unpardonable"!
Katou! Bastard! If you don't do what I say, I'll fire you from the Student Council!
Calm down, Tsubaki!
If you're president of Student Council, you need to quit sweatin' the small stuff!
Shut up!
Let go!
Don't touch me!
Oh my, look at all the men.
What's wrong with you all of a sudden?
Boy with the red hat... You're cute.
Who is this person?
When Usami-chan is touched by a male, her other personality emerges.
What kind of setup is that?!
Oh, I like this handsome boy with glasses, too.
I appreciate hearing that.
Why are you playing along with her?!
Saratani!
You're not getting away!
Acting like a fool...
Did you really think you could get away?
We never let evil deeds get by!
They all get punished by us...
The Student Council!
I caught him first.
Would you kindly move your hand, Mr. President?
It doesn't matter which one of us got him first.
Besides, it's not like you'll get to be Student Council president
through exploits like this, fool.
Oh, my. It's good to set your sights high.
By the way, how much would it cost to become Student Council president?
You would try to buy it with money?!
Don't move, you erotic, vulgar, lusty woman!
Hurry up and change back to cute Usami!
Hey! Cut it out! Don't touch me!
I'm going man-hunting after this!
DOS!
Kiri-kun, help me!
W-What's with this woman?!
Katou! Don't let go of her!
I'm not following your orders!
Hang in there, Bunny-chan!
What was that-nyan?! Katou!
Th-This is...
They've got all five members...
...but is this Student Council okay?
Agata
Sorry for suddenly intruding when you're studying for entrance exams...
It's fine!
I don't even need to study for entrance exams.
If you've got a problem, you can always come to me for advice.
Thank you.
Anyway, Usami and Katou, huh?
Interesting people have joined up.
Don't worry. I know you can handle it.
Little by little, patiently, you'll find your own way.
Right.
I'm home.
Huh? You're here, Tsubaki?
You didn't hear he was coming over?
Why would I?
Would you get us some tea?
Yeah, fine. Whatever.
I don't know what she's thinking.
Yes, who knows?
Did Fujisaki say something?
Um... about you two...
He told me to quit sweating the small stuff.
I-I see. That's right...
Selfish or not, candid or not, you've got to accept it.
Can you do that?
Yes.
Alright, that puts me at ease.
I know I can count on you.
Man, that Fujisaki though, what a way with words.
What is this?
Yabaival dance!
Trial dance!
Peeping is absolutely no good!
Boys' Manga Club?
There is one?
Uh-huh. Originally, we were one club,
but there was one nasty boy member
and he caused trouble for the girl members, so we split up.
Stretch
God
Devil
What are you drawing?
Don't draw stuff that doesn't make sense!
Anyway, you were saying there was a rude member?
Yes. Now he's the vice president of the boys' club.
What's the guy like?
Well...
Well, well, are you drawing cutesy-pie heartwarming shojo manga like always?
This has to be the one!
These two are the president and vice president of the boys' manga club,
Sainon and Magarfunkle.
Sainon and Magarfunkle?
The tall one is the president, Sainon, otherwise known as Saikawa Nozomu-kun.
He's a real gentleman.
The one with glasses is the vice president, Magarfunkle,
real name: Magata Michinori-kun.
He's a real scumbag.
So he is the one.
Hey there, Fumi girl!
I dropped by to return the correction fluid I borrowed from you.
Magata-san, you often come here to borrow correction fluid, but can't you buy your own?
Wha...?!
What kind of way to talk to me is that?!
You're implying I go to the trouble of coming over to borrow correction fluid
really so I can start something with the girls, is that it?!
S-Sorry...
I've got a pretty good idea already of this guy's personality!
Let's see what we got here...
"I may be in love..."
Magarfunkle is a creep!
There's nothing for you to be embarrassed about.
People are creatures that fall in love.
R-Right...
Sainon is a gentleman, huh?
This manga is interesting!
Magata Michinori is jealous of this talent!
Is that interesting?!
Hey, you! Everyone's workin' here, so don't get in the way!
You're Mr. Fujisaki of the Sket-dan, I believe...
...so you're the one who doesn't belong here!
Don't butt in!
...or that's what Magata Michinori thought.
He didn't say it?!
How'd he do that?!
I'm a member of the manga club, just like they are.
I think I'll look at what you're working on.
Go ahead.
If you're curious, have a look.
I'd be honored if it inspired your own shonen manga.
Jerk...
Let's see...
Miss Saotome's draft...
Magata Michinori is beaten completely by this indescribable sense of defeat!
Is it interesting?!
What is this?!
It's like an amateur's doodles!
He's starting in on the insults.
Magarfunkle really is a scumbag.
Magata Michinori was ashamed of himself for lying.
Now he's starting to feel bad!
What's this guy's deal?!
And why can we totally hear his narration?!
Shojo manga is crap!
Shonen manga is the genre that has limitless potential!
More than anything, it has passion and friendship!
You're making fun of shojo manga?!
Shonen manga is just a one-pattern genre with all fighting!
I'm always thinking about new possibilities of expression!
You dumb-dumb dodo bird!
That's old. Roman, that's an old expression.
It suddenly got dark.
Now it's bright again.
What the hell?! You people and your manga magic!
Wait!!
Kezuka-sensei!
Hi.
Who's this? Their faculty adviser?
What's going on with this place?
It's unusual to see you here at the club, Sensei.
I heard voices raised on my way back from the tanning salon.
But more importantly...
If you draw manga, then fight to the finish with manga!
He suddenly blew his stack!
F-Fight with manga?
That's right.
Draw manga in whatever genre and whoever's is more interesting will be the winner.
You have two pages.
The time limit is three hours.
The theme is an athletic festival.
Shonen magic should have passion and friendship.
Shojo manga should have romance and new forms of expression.
Put those things into the manga that you draw.
Hey, it's like he's half writing the stories himself!
And one last rule, in the final panel,
the story has to end with someone screaming up at the sky.
Where's the doctor?!
Kezuka-sensei is really into this.
However...
...the two of you boys work together, while Saotome-kun is alone, yes?
That's not fair.
Saotome-kun, ask someone to be your partner.
Partner...?
Then...
M-Me?!
And so, the manga doubles showdown began.
I'm going to play the piano while we wait.
Piano?
What is this?!
And thus, three hours passed.
Boys' Manga Club
The judging will be done in the boys' clubroom.
What's this? "Toki..."
No, no, it's "bokudasouda", "It Seems to Be Me".
It's the nickname of the boys' manga clubroom.
That's too complicated!
Oh, here they are.
Saaya and Yabasawa-san?
If I'm the only judge, I may be biased.
So now we also have the viewpoint of a tsundere high school girl...
I-I'm only here because I was called over.
Don't get the wrong idea.
...and the viewpoint of a bookstore owner's daughter.
When it comes to looking at manga, I'm more yabas than anyone.
I don't know what that means!
Very well, let's begin judging.
We'll start with Sainon and Magarfunkle's work.
Yes, sir.
P-Please!
The theme is an athletic festival.
I'm going to focus on whether the elements you claimed,
passion and friendship, are in there, as well as the last scene, yelling at the sky.
I wonder what kind of manga it'll be.
I can't wait!
We'll show 'em how different our work is from Miss Saotome's outdated manga!
Thrilling manga!
Space Cosmo Universe Super Athletic Festival!
Lame!
Sainon and Magarfunkle
Your guys' sense is totally retro!
This is 10 billion light years from Earth...
Why does it have to be that far away?!
Are you second graders?!
...on the planet Bloody Death Dark Star.
Second graders!
Two men are trying to settle a longstanding quarrel.
I fell in love with Mayumi first!
No way, I was totally first.
And during first term, you said you weren't interested in her!
Do this in a classroom!
Greatspace Tarou
With all the contests up to now, we're dead even!
The next event, the Ultra-Special Bread Quick Race, will settle it once and for all!
Call it a bread-eating competition!
Kiyoshi Michaelburger
Yeah. Through this passionate battle with you, I can even feel friendship.
They really shoehorned the themes in...
And who the hell is Kiyoshi Michaelburger?!
Hold out, knees!
Second graders!
Alright, let's start!
First out of the starting gate is Kiyoshi Michaelburger!
There's an announcer?! Who's doin' it?!
Super Jumping Flying Spring Jumping!
That's too many "ings"!
Crack!
Why?!
Oh, no! Michaelburger did a Super Jump Freedom... Spin... thing!
Remember the name!
There's no gravity!
Are you guys idiots?!
Michaelburger never made it back home...
That's right. Michaelburger became a star and right now
he's probably obeying the law of inertia and drifting in a straight line.
Michaelburger!
Farewell, Michaelburger.
What the hell kind of story is this?!
What's with you guys?!
You're all talk!
Your drawings are old-fashioned, your story makes no sense, the whole thing's a mess!
Shut up!
Only a jerk would badmouth the work of others!
You have no room to talk!
It was quite impressive.
Yeah. I don't read manga much, so what do I know,
b-but that jump had a lot of power.
You're praising that?!
Yabas! Michaelburger!
Hey, daughter of a bookstore owner!
Aren't your judging standards really low?!
I've got this in the bag.
Now let's take a look at Saotome-kun's work.
Of course!
Huh? Bossun?
Yes!
"undoukai" = athletic festival "un" = yes "doukai" = how about it?
How about it?
Undoukai? "Yes." "How about it?"
What is this?! What the hell is this?!
Whoa, whoa, wait a second!
That's how you used the athletic festival theme?
Thump-thump!
Now what?
Scratch-scratch.
Has the romance started already?!
What's going on here?!
You're wearing pink today?
Yes.
I see.
"soukai" = I see
What is this?
Does it... suit you?
Yes.
I see...
No, no, no! I can't make heads or tails of this!
How do you feel?
Fine.
Bossun, your backgrounds are great!
How do you feel?
Fine.
How are you?
Fine.
How are you?
What is this?!
How are you?!
Shut up!
She lost her temper!
That's...
...Michaelburger?!
How do you know about it?!
The winner, Saotome Roman!
W-Wonderful.
It's not like I'm moved or anything!
Y-Yabas!
I'm going to nominate that as the best manga of 2012,chosen by bookstore owners' daughters!
That's why I say, your judging standards are really low!
I-I... I'm...
We did it!
Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!
W-Wait a second, Sensei!
You prefer that surreal manga?!
Yes. "Un." "Doukai?" made a bigger impression on me.
But...
Don't be a poor loser, Magata-kun.
All manga has to be is interesting.
What's interesting wins.
It's only natural.
Your Michaelburger definitely wasn't bad.
But the phrase "Un." "Doukai?" stuck in my mind more than Michaelburger.
So much that when I get home, I'll probably ask my wife without thinking, "Doukai?"
That's how much it stayed with me compared to Michaelburger.
It sounds like you're stuck on Michaelburger, too!
This is what you call "passionate friendship", huh?
I won't lose next time!
I was hoping you'd say that.
...is what Magata Michinori...
...and Saotome Roman...
...both thought.
Say it out loud!
Look, the God of Manga!
He's beckoning to us!
Super Jumping Flying Spring Jumping!
Why?!
Come on! Let's go where the god leads us!
To our world!
To the world of manga, where no one oppresses you!
Where are we goin'?!
Let's go! Next time on...
Sket Dance!
Okay, this week's building visit, that is, home visit, is to...
Someone came to the door!
What is this huge scale?!
Please come in.
My father and everyone else are very pleased that you came over...
Understood. Wonderful!
Next Time: Food Fighter Home Visit!
Right. But what's the "food fighter" part?
Just wait and see!
Bossun!
Oh, my! I wonder what it's about...
