Koi Sempai Kouhai Oneesama
homonym - means both ``carp'' (fish) and ``love'' senior, upperclassman junior, underclassman older sister
Koi...
I guess this is love after all...
So what's with this ``koi'' thing?
N-nothing special.
Now that I think of it, you haven't been feeling too well lately.
You're hiding something.
I'm not hiding anything.
I'm not...
Really.
If you don't tell us, I'll drop this.
Now you're going to tell us.
Igarashi?
Yeah.
I haven't seen her since then, but I couldn't forget her.
I couldn't get her out of my mind.
I see.
This is completely different from what I felt when was in love with Sumire-chan.
But...
I... I...
I (love) her.
HERE IS GREENWOOD
The weather's gotten so cold.
My body gets cold just by walking from the bath tub to our room.
Suka-chan, use your authority as dormhead to get the heating turned on in the entire building.
I never wanted to be the dormhead.
That hurts! Let me go!
What have I done wrong?
What's going on?
We've got an odd guest.
An odd guest?
Stop talking bullshit.
Get out of my way, crone!
You've gotta be kidding. What do you think this place is?
Even if it weren't this time of night, I would never let any girl enter this dorm.
Don't you have any common sense?
I don't care about that!
Hasukawa, as the dormhead, you should do something.
That's right. Go and help the manager.
You gotta be kidding.
It's the manager who's winning.
Do you think a greenhorn like you can beat a woman like me, an experienced woman and mother?
Fat old pig!
You bitch!
Go back right now!
Who the hell is she?
As usual, she's Mitsuru-sempai's kouhai.
Igarashi!
Ikeda-kun.
She's doesn't seem to be one of Mitsuru-sempai's groupies.
Where are you going, Hasukawa-kun?
I'll go and find out what's going on.
Are you still involved in that kind of thing?
Didn't I tell you to quit?
You're not suited for that kind of thing.
What's that luggage?
Sempai...
Let me stay at your place.
I've been wandering, from one friend's place to another,...
and I don't want to cause them anymore trouble.
Let me stay at your place for a couple of days.
Idiot! Do you think a girl can stay in a boy's dorm?
I guess you got yourself in trouble again.
Stop it and go home.
Why did you come to my place?
You have...
Sempai!
Hasukawa.
Who the hell are you?
Excuse me... Can't you do something for her?
She must have a reason for not wanting to go home.
Do something? Like what?
Wouldn't it be OK to let her stay in the building just for a night?
The manager is already mad because of Igarashi's thoughtless behavior.
She'll never let her in.
What are you going to do?
And where can she stay, in a dorm filled with 200 bloodthirsty wolves?
Stay out of it. It's none of your business.
Yes, it is.
You made me the dormhead.
I might be able to do something with my power as dormhead.
So if something happens, you'll have to take the responsibility.
Can't you understand?
I do.
I'll take full responsibility.
You don't understand!
You're the one who doesn't understand.
How cruel of you to turn a girl away from your door on a cold day!
It's not that kind of problem!
I didn't know you were such a cold person.
You really are an idiot.
Well excuse me...
Do whatever you want.
I WILL!
Then, Igarashi-san,...
I'll let you stay here tonight.
But please don't cause any trouble.
I won't.
Yes, she went back home.
Sorry for causing you so much trouble.
Who is she?
A girl? This can't be real.
Can she be a relative of Shun?
Another kouhai of Mitsuru-sempai's?
Shut up!
I'm not a chimpanzee in a zoo!
Yes, you are.
I told you not to cause any trouble.
You gotta be kidding.
Why do I have to be kicked out of my room?
This is my room.
I'll let you use it for tonight, but please stay inside all the time.
OK?
What's wrong with her?
I was being so nice to her.
Can't she even say a word?
Even if you don't guard her, no one will touch her.
Who would put his hands on a scary girl like her?
I just want to make things clear.
Her name is Igarashi Miya.
She was a year behind me in Jr. high school.
She's supposed to be an 11th grader now.
So is she a runaway?
There's no reason for her to run away from home.
She's living alone.
Huh?
And... She has...
Damn it!
Be quiet.
Shun, use my bed.
Why did it end up this way?
There is no reason why I should do this.
But, because Mitsuru-sempai was saying such cold things...
So if anything happens, you'll have to take the responsibility.
Can't you understand?
He would have been able to do something if he was still the dormhead.
That's probably why she came to him for a favor.
Hey.
That's enough.
Go to my room and get some sleep.
That's enough? What are you going to do?
Igarashi, I'll open the door.
Igarashi,...
We have no choice now that we've come this far. Tell us your story.
What happened?
Looks like you're not going to school, either.
I'm being targeted...
Eh?
I'm being targeted by those bastards from Aisei school.
The Aisei School gang and us Sumijyo have frequently fought over territory in the past.
About ten days ago,...
I bumped into those bitches from Aisei on my way back home.
You're Igarashi, the gang leader of Sumijyo, right?
Wait a minute.
When did you join the gang?
They think I am the leader.
Besides, other delinquents in our school are airheads who're only interested in chasing after boys.
So?
We want to talk with you.
Step outside.
I've got nothing to discuss with you bastards.
Wait! Are you running away?
You started this.
You gotta face the consequences!
I didn't know what was going on then...
but it looks like some members of our gang caused trouble in their territory.
We didn't know about the territory.
Where and what we do is none of their concern.
But those bastards from Aisei came to us and told us that we'll have to pay for this.
Because they wanted to have a talk with the leader of Sumijyo, we gave them your name.
There is no one besides you anyway...
Please, Igarashi-san. Help us!
We are so scared that we can't even leave our houses.
I kept avoiding their summons...
but they started waiting for me outside school and my house.
I don't think we can settle this by talking.
So I started wandering around friends' places, skipping school.
YOU MORON!
You're being used again!
But the three who caused the trouble didn't know anything...
Idiot!
They pushed the responsibility off onto her!
I guess because she was acting tough, they considered her a nuisance.
How can you let those scum make a fool of you?
A clumsy oaf like you will only get yourself into trouble by acting like a brave hero!
So, what are you going to do now?
I haven't visited Shoko's and Tatsuya's place yet, so I'll try there.
If I can gather enough people, I'll answer their challenge.
Igarashi, do you want to go to the restroom?
She used to live with her mother...
but her mother was appointed to an overseas post last year.
So she's living alone now.
That must be real hard for her.
She should quit.
She should have quit when she entered high school.
But there must be a reason why she became a delinquent.
I think it's because of her man.
Man?
There is no other reason.
I see.
I guess her man was a delinquent and she got influenced by him.
Now that I think of it, I heard that Mitsuru-sempai was the leader of a gang.
I can't remember who told me about this...
But I don't think Mitsuru-sempai was a real bad delinquent.
Shinobu-sempai.
What is it?
Mitsuru-sempai is an adopted child, right?
I guess he became a delinquent because he didn't want to stay home.
Shinobu-sempai, you've been to Mitsuru-sempai's place.
What was your impression?
His house is a nice, well-ventilated place, unlike mine.
And his family is one big happy family, so happy that I felt awkward there.
Then why is he living in the dorm?
He was abandoned by his real parents.
Someone left him inside the temple the day Masato-kun was born
and Masato-kun's parents adopted him.
It was only two weeks after his birth.
He's known about this since his childhood.
I still can't believe it.
How can a person who was told, ``We don't need you,'' right after his birth be so strong?
What a nuisance.
Sorry about that.
I'm counting on you.
OK.
Don't forget to buy me meat dumplings.
Let's go, Hasukawa.
Right.
Manager, could you please check the washstand?
What? Something got stuck there again?
Igarashi, kill time until 4 after visiting your friends' places.
I'll meet you at the McDonalds in front of the station and take you into the dorm.
Sempai, I can't understand what you're saying.
Got it, Igarashi?
Yeah.
Somehow...
Sometimes she shows the face that entangles my heart.
As if she has something more to say, from the time we first met...
Huh? Suka-chan, what about her?
Eh? She's not here?
No.
Wasn't Mitsuru-sempai supposed to bring her here?
Mitsuru-sempai...
If you're looking for an idiot who left school early because of a 104 degree fever, wandered around,...
then passed out as soon he got here and is still sleeping, we've got one here.
It's already 5 o'clock!
She must've been waiting for more than an hour!
Again...
Sorry for being late.
What about Ikeda-sempai?
He's got a cold and is asleep now.
I went to your place this afternoon, but I didn't see anyone guarding it.
How did your business go?
Both Shoko and Tatsuya are working.
And other people are living normal lives as well.
I see.
You're rather powerless.
That's right.
But they don't know that.
Hey, Sempai,...
Did you notice that your body is tilted?
That's enough. Get some sleep.
Sempai, I'm sorry.
I'm leaving.
Eh?
I've made Ikeda-sempai angry many times
but I knew he was kind at heart.
So I was taking advantage of...
Sorry for troubling you.
I'll go back to Shoko's place and see if I can crash there.
Wait.
You're not going home?
Why?
We know that your home is safe, so you should go home.
And there is no one in your house, right?
Is there any reason why you can't go home?
Leave me alone!
It's none of your business.
I loaned my room to you because you said you can't go home.
I have the right to know why.
Mitsuru-sempai has a fever because of the cold.
I want an explanation!
Come on!
...come out.
Eh? Come out?
What?
Do you really have to ask me?
When I'm alone, the house makes weird cracking sounds.
Do you know the sound of grinding stones?
The sound of living trees being torn apart.
Are you sure they are ghosts?
I'm sure!
Are you sure it's not just your house settling?
Settling?
Old houses make sounds when the building materials contract.
Because my house is old, it's real noisy in the night.
Then, they aren't ghosts?
Of course not.
But it only happens when I'm alone.
You can only hear it when it's quiet.
This dorm also makes lots of noises. Didn't you hear them?
And we have lots of real ghosts here.
I see. That was it.
You're not suited to be a delinquent.
You can't play in the night if you're afraid of ghosts.
Sorry about that!
After all, I'm just a coward.
I'm a fool.
I can't do anything...
Satisfactorily...
That's true, Igarashi-san.
You don't have to cry.
I see...
That time...
And that time...
She was trying hard not to cry.
You heard my explanations.
Then I'll go home.
I'll see you off.
Hell, I can't believe it.
I let a girl stay in my room for a night.
Umm...
What I meant was that it would be better for you to be a normal girl.
There is nothing wrong with an ordinary girl being afraid of ghosts.
I heard from Mitsuru-sempai...
That it's because of a man that you became a delinquent.
But I don't think it's good for you to adjust yourself to that aspect of his.
No, Tenma isn't like that at all.
He's gentle and smart. He's a far better man than you are!
Tenma is...?
He's a childhood friend of mine.
But he's been a good kid since he was little.
He is smart and has been going to good private schools since Jr. high.
On the contrary, I'm a stupid and ugly kid since my childhood.
So I thought having me as a girlfriend wouldn't do him any good.
If he marries a girl like me, wouldn't it disgrace him?
He deserves a bride who's smarter and prettier than me.
But he says he likes me.
So I thought I'd have to make him hate me before it's too late for him.
It would be too hard on me if he starts hating me after I grow up.
So...
Wait a sec.
That's weird.
He said that he likes you.
Why do you have to try so hard to get him to hate you?
My parents asked him to take care of me when we were little.
That's why he tries to tell himself he likes me.
I'm sure of it.
Don't be so sure about that!
Is Tenma such a bad person that you have no trust in him at all?
What did you say?
Then have faith in him.
What can he see in me?
Because you're...
You're cute.
I see. She doesn't know that she's cute.
I guess he never told her that she's cute.
Anyway, who the hell is that Tenma guy?
Why can't he do something when she's feeling so insecure?
Finally, when we thought you showed some guts,...
you hide behind a man.
Very well.
Igarashi...
Meet us below the Sakuragi bridge before 9 o'clock.
If you don't show up this time, we won't show any more mercy.
Got that?
I'll be fine, please return to the dorm.
The longer I run away, the worse things will get.
Since I'm the one who started this,...
I'll pay the price.
No way! You can't go there alone!
Igarashi-san!
Igarashi!
What? Tonight?
Looks like Igarashi-san's confronting them alone.
What an idiot...
We only have two hours.
Sempai...
Are you going there to help her?
I have to. I've known her since Jr. High.
Hasukawa, please leave the window open.
I'm coming, too...
You moron!
This is reckless. Reckless.
What if their whole gang turns up...?
There is a fax in the game center, right?
Yes.
I'll be back shortly.
Suka-chan, it's our turn.
Where are we going?
The PA room, and then we'll have to make lots of calls.
Do you think she'll turn up alone?
Yes.
There is no organization in Sumijyo at all.
Even if she wants to bring troops with her, she doesn't have any.
We'll use this opportunity to crush Igarashi and take over their territory.
She's here.
You're Igarashi of Sumijyo, right?
That's right.
How brave of you to come here alone.
I can't believe you're the same girl who kept running away until yesterday.
Sempai?
It'd be a shame for a man to get involved in a girls' fight.
Who is that huge girl?
I don't think there was such a girl in Sumijyo.
Doesn't matter.
Hey, Igarashi.
Those bitches from your gang have insulted us.
You'll pay the price for what you've done.
You'll learn with your body what happens when you break the rules of this world.
What the hell? They have men on their side, too.
How cowardly!
How stupid of you to come here with only one person.
OK...?
Three...
Damn it. I'm not in my best shape.
Have some patience with us.
What?
That's...?
Sorry for the wait, Igarashi.
We're here to assist you.
Uh-oh.
She was secretly gathering her troops.
Now that I think of it, she was with a man tonight.
Idiot! Why didn't you report this earlier?
That's a Mercedes.
Can it be...?
WHERE THE HELL IS SHINOBU?
We're in deep shit. She's connected with the Yakuza.
Oneesama...
Come out and face me! I'll kill you! You asked for it!
You never mentioned this.
We're out of this.
Wait a sec!
No way are we gonna get involved with real gangs.
Dear Sister, I want to ease your ever-lonely heart. Please come to the place described below by 9 PM. Please be on time. - Your brother, Shinobu
How dare he send me crap likethis?
How dare he...!
What the hell is going on?
It's all over.
You can go back now.
Thank you for your trouble.
Sorry for your trouble.
No one will dare touch Igarashi of Sumijyo for a while.
Since she is the leader of several hundred troops.
Shinobu!
Don't hide!
Come out and face me!
It's after curfew.
We'd better sneak in a couple of us at a time so we don't get caught.
Here, this way.
Keep the noise down!
I've really had it with these kids.
They must've done something again.
Igarashi-san.
Uh...
Thank you.
N-Not at all.
I couldn't be of any help to you...
I'll see you off again...
I haven't heard your name yet...
Koizumi Tenma is here.
Huh? Ikeda-sempai?
Long time no see. I almost didn't recognize you.
What are you doing here?
I heard from Shoko that Miya-chan is staying at your place...
Where's Miya-chan?
Miya-chan.
I've been looking for you.
You haven't been home for 10 days.
I've been following your trail.
You should have told me you were in trouble.
No one told you to look for me!
Don't poke your nose into my business.
What are you talking about?
You're so childish.
Let's go home.
Let me go!
Well, I'll take her back home.
Sorry for all your trouble.
Let me go!
You don't have to be so shy.
I'm not!
Who was he?
He's Igarashi's man.
They've been that way for a long time.
They'll probably be that way for the rest of their lives.
That's why I didn't want get involved with Igarashi.
I want to protect her.
