Come on, hurry up.
You don't want to turn into a cat, do you?
Shut up!
I know that already!
I'm countin' on ya.
It's my mistress' super favorite.
We'll take care of your bones, Master.
Don't be so pessimistic!
Are there any good jobs around?
I need money for cosmetics.
Yeah! I got it!
What the hell's he doing?

Cat 02!
That guy... A servant?
Why do I have to suffer?
Oh yeah, there's one more thing we haven't told you.
Don't tell anyone about the curse,
and don't let anyone notice it.
I'd never talk about this crappy curse.
If anyone does find out,
they'll be cursed too, and your curse will deepen more quickly.
You should've said that sooner!
I almost told your owner about it!
Actually, he needs to get hurt once.
All set.
Here I come, my Japanese girl companions.
Well, basically, you've got to deal with this problem yourself.
Just give it your best.
I just need to keep it to myself.
Hasn't Junpei been acting weird recently?
Dunno. I guess he's at that age.
Hey, your Culture Festival is this week, right?
Can I come see it?
Yeah, whatever.
"Whatever..."
What's your class planning to do?
Well... uh...
We're always obedient to our masters!
We're clean and elegant!
And on top of that, we're cute too: maids!
Maids are so moe.
Whatever.
You've gotta be more excited, dear Junpei-kun!
Mizuno will be wearing that costume as she serves you!
Service!
Yes, Master.
Master, you have food stuck on your cheek.
Hey, Kousaka...
Let me borrow your scissors.
The Yamanba is a spirit from Japanese folklore, usually portrayed as an old hag.
Don't pop up so suddenly, Yamanba monster!
I mean, Sumiyoshi Kanako!
Kana-chan, have you got any scissors?
Mizuno!
Sorry. Give me another minute.
Here you go.
Th-Thank you.
Koubaka, you piece of shit!
You callin' me KouBAKA?!
My name is KouSAKA!
Stop giving me crap, damn it!
Same to you!
It's not Yamanba!
Manba is a fashion style involving the use of very dark makeup.
It's Manba!
Shut up!
Go back to your own world, monster!
There they go again.
I'll bet my yakisoba bread that Kanako wins.
I'll bet 50 yen on Kousaka.
You're so cheap.
Please get back to work!
And no betting!
They're such good friends.
I'm envious that both of them have a childhood friend in class.
What?
You sure you wanna act like that?
When he was in third grade...
Then in fourth grade...
You dirty piece of crap, Sumiyoshi!
Sir!
What is it?
Why?!
Crap, I'll go get that.
Huh?
Typical boys.
Are you okay, Kanako?
Y-Yeah.
Why are you here?
What else?
You've got a job.
The requesting cat is over there.
Hello.
Don't tell me you...
Didn't you know?
She lives here.
They're even at school.
So much for my modest sanctuary!
But there's a reason why I'll be moving out soon.
A teacher found out about her.
So, I want to express my appreciation to the kind girl who fed me every day.
"Thank you very much! I really love you!"
Me?
Don't make me do something so embarrassing!
What's that girl like?
Well...
She's really kind,
smells good,
and oh yeah, she's just about the same age as you.
Same age?
So, in the same grade.
A girl of the same age, plus a cat, divided by the diligence of the care,
multiplied by a good, kind smell, equals...
Mature glasses girl type
But thank you.
I like gentle people like you.
Pure class rep type
Will you fill the gap in my heart left by that kitty?
Oh, but that's so sudden...
Weirdo.
You have to finish by tomorrow.
Get to work right now.
Y-Yeah.
Hold on a sec!
I have my own life too!
Master, someone will hear you if you talk so loud.
I can't work for you all the friggin' time!
I know!
I need more info.
This is why I hate cats.
What is it?
Sumiyoshi?!
Hey, there's a familiar face.
Onee-chan.
Hey, Kumaneko.
It's YOU?!
What!
You got a problem with me being kind to a cat?
I do!
Give back my fantasies— my good luck, damn it!
What?!
Hey, what about her request?
Be a man and say it right now.
Please tell her.
You'll feel good if you tell her now.
R-Right, I should just go ahead and tell her.
Thank you so very much!
I love you!
by Panda
Gross.
Hell no!
Wait a sec.
Isn't this bad?
Wait, stay calm.
I didn't tell her about the curse.
What's important is...
I must've looked like a weirdo who was talking to cats.
If I laugh it off before she starts spreading the word...
Hey, Sumiyoshi...
What a scoop.
I can't laugh it off!
She's gonna blab!
Hey, you're...
Hey Kousaka, you'll do whatever I ask, won't you?
I was just looking for...
a servant.
Dad, do you think I can fulfill this request safely?
Sumiyoshi Kanako.
I love... cats.
What the hell are you looking at?
It's about to begin.
Let's see, the next delivery is...
The 30th Tokiwa High School Cultural Festival
Hm, that looks like fun.
At noon, there will be a presentation by the drama club in the gymnasium.
Welcome home.
Hello.
Order coming in.
Two hot teas.
K.
Also—
Hello, excuse me.
Uh...
Oh, Suzu-chan, long time no see.
What do you want to drink?
Oh?
Only the two of you here?
Where's Kousaka?
Dunno.
I haven't seen him since Sumiyoshi snatched him.
A curse on...
Man, that's super scary!
In this haunted house, it's the ghosts that scream?
That rocks!
Why do I have to suffer like this?
According to that nitwit Haruhiko...
Childhood friends are a promising flag.
In elementary school, they're just very good friends.
They may show an "I'll be your bride" flag too.
In junior high, they're temporarily separated into different classes.
However!
They meet again in high school, and the legend continues.
We'll meet under the tree!
That's what he says, but...
Nope.
Only if she were Mizuno...
Hey, let's check out what's happening over there.
Oh, Kana-chan.
Hey, Kaede.
And Kousaka-kun?
Mizuno! This is...
You heading to the classroom now?
Yeah.
And we were just talking about inviting you too.
Would you come with us when you're free?
She's being considerate to Kanako.
Thanks.
This is his first day as my servant.
Her servant...
So I'll come over after I'm through with him.
Okay. We'll be expecting you.
Later.
Kousaka-kun, fight-o!
Mizuno!
I envy them.
Childhood friends, and very close ones at that.
Um, but...
Her servant...
She made me buy a lot.
How much do I have left?
Crap!
Damn it!
Sumiyoshi, damn it!
You've gone too far!
Excuse me for intruding into your crying fit.
Nyamsus.
Do you have any intention of fulfilling the request?
It's due today.
I know that!
But...
That girl used to come to our home a lot, didn't she?
Her appearance has changed a bit, but I could tell right away.
You remember?
You know her, so finish quickly.
Give me a break!
That's easy for you to say.
Besides, because she looks like that,
it's not easy to talk to her anymore.
Yup, that should do it.
Now, what should we do next?
This reminds me of our days as kids.
Junpei...
This is for you.
It's Nyam!
Did you make this?
Yeah. It's for our friendship.
Take good care of it.
Yeah!
Thanks!
But the very next day...
It's so cute!
Thank you, Junpei-kun.
Koubaka, you idiot!
We stopped talking after that.
In junior high, we waged a cold war.
And now in high school, we're in the same class again.
But I'm sure he doesn't remember any of it.
Does Junpei...
enjoy Kaede's company more than mine?
What's taking her so long?
Hey, thanks for waiting.
This was made by amateurs, but it's pretty good.
I bought it with your money, so don't hold back, servant.
I've been wanting to ask you...
Why the manba makeup?
What's wrong with it?!
I just like it!
Got a problem with that?!
No.
It makes me feel stronger.
I don't want to cry like a girl anymore.
I guess you don't remember.
Now, I wanna avoid turning into a cat,
so how do I fulfill the request?
Do you hate being with me that much?
Watching your face just pisses me off!
Why did we have to be in the same high school?
Why are you mumbling and then getting pissed?!
Besides, you started the fight when we were kids!
Do you—
Man, you only remember that stuff.
H-H-Hey...
You've forgotten, but I remember...
Making me feel like an idiot!
What, crying?
Forget it.
I'm leaving.
Wait!
Let me go!
I'm sorry! Are you okay?!
So unlucky.
Kousaka!
W-Wait! I didn't do any—
Wait!
Wait, damn it!
I'm cursed enough already!
Hm? Weren't they...
Man, I feel sick.
Don't make a couch potato run except in P.E. class.
But you're the one who ran away.
It's not summer, so I'm not using waterproof makeup.
It all washed off.
This sucks.
Kousaka!
Dry yourself with this!
It's better than nothing.
Right. Sumiyoshi is a girl after all.
She was always a tomboy.
I guess she can be cute sometimes.
Oh right, maybe she's...
Hey, Sumiyoshi,
about what you were saying earlier..
I don't have any makeup on now!
Don't look at me, idiot!
Hey now...
There you are.
You both run really fast.
That surprised me.
Thank you very much!
Thump
Kaede! I can't serve my shift like this!
What should I do?
Oh my.
You might catch a cold, so let's go to the locker room and change.
Okay?
Yeah.
Kousaka-kun, I'm going to borrow Kana-chan for a bit.
Yeah, be my guest.
Mizuno's really mistaken about us.
Kousaka, you're fired!
I helped out in your place.
I'm sorry.
What?
I shouldn't!
Don't worry. Don't worry!
See?
She's a beauty!
But do we have a girl like that in our class?
Could it be...
Light makeup is even more embarrassing.
Geez.
You have good face, so don't let it go to waste, Kana-chan.
Kana...
...chan?
Sumiyoshi?!
What?!
Stop staring!
I've realized how scary women are.
Hey, Kumaneko!
Time for food!
Hey!
Kuma!
Strange...
She usually comes out right away.
Kousaka?
I-If you're looking for that cat, I think she moved somewhere else.
S-So, uh, thank you for all the...
And I love...
I see. So she moved away.
She was a stray cat anyway.
H-Hey.
That cat... um...
I think she really appreciated all the care you gave her,
and I think she was happy.
What's all this?
I knew she'd say that.
You know that cats forget favors in three days.
I'm sure Kumaneko will forget about me quickly, just like a certain someone.
A-A-About that doll...
I was only showing it. I didn't give it away.
It's still at home.
That cat might forget stuff like I do,
but I think she'll remember someone who took care of her for so long.
You're acting weird.
I-I can tell how cats feel!
You serious about that?
Yeah.
I see.
That's so dumb.
But you've cheered me up.
Later, Junpei.
Y-Yeah.
You satisfied with that?
Take care.
Wait just a minute!
Why is she at my home?!
It's only until she finds a good place to live.
Anyway, what are you going to do now?
What do you mean?
I'll lift the curse as fast as I can, of course!
I know, but that's not what I meant.
U-Um, Mizuno,
about yesterday...
Hey, morning, guys.
Kana-chan! You look better this way!
But why?
No reason.
The cosmetics were pretty expensive.
Because I goofed off, I'll work hard today!
Yeah!
You sure?
Why you!
You got a problem?!
It's spring.
It's fall now, Haruhiko.
The flag is up.
Huh?
As a person, you shouldn't try so hard!
natsu no kaze kirameku machi ni

Strawberry tears.
Today's Nyan Koma!

The second half sucked!
I-I can tell how cats feel!
You serious about that?
Yeah.
That's so dumb.
I'll go tell everyone!
Damn...
Damn cats!
Mew view
Brr, brr!
Girls are really super realists.
By the way, female cats mature fully in about a year.
Now, the next Nyan Koi...
I'm Mochizuki Chizuru.
I'm a college student working as a delivery girl in this area.
A delivery girl with no sense of direction?!
You're a high school student, right, Junpei-kun?
Y-Yes!
Are you old enough to be interested in a woman's body?
Sexual harassment?!
Next Nyan Koi, the 3rd nyan-ko, "Your Name Is!"
You're blushing! So cute!
It's good to be young!
S-Strange person.
