No!
Goodness!
No, this is...
That's what I lost in the locker room.
My—
My br—
M-My br—
My bra!
Mizuno-san! Mizuno-san!
You can't help it.
You're at that age!
I'm at that age!
But you still shouldn't do it, right?
An underwear thief...
This is the end for me.

I'll dash towards the sky.

I'll make all your wishes come true.

I help the cats with this and that.

The triangle whirls around me.

There's no time to waste.

Cat 08!
The Burning Private Instruction Runner
Back then,
when my life was still moving towards a bright future,
I could never have imagined that tragedy lay ahead.
I'm home.
Welcome home, Junpei.
Welcome home.
Master, welcome home.
Welcome home.
You were out late, dear.
Welcome...
home.
Who are you calling "dear"?!
Besides, why are you here?
And the place is full of allergens!
Yuck.
A cat I don't know...
What's wrong with my son?
They came all the way here to see you, and you just stand there embarrassed.
I'm not embarrassed!
Kotone-chan, would you like more tea?
Thank you.
Akari-san, would you like another piece of cake?
Thank you, Suzu-chan.
Man, they've already made friends.
Don't be shy.
Make yourselves at home.
Yes, Mother.
Oh my!
This feels like I have more daughters! How marvelous!
Maybe you really will have more daughters.
Because...
Senpai already made me a promise about the future.
Are you serious?!
Did you really?!
Wait a sec!
I've always wanted an older sister!
And I've wanted a little sister.
You have me!
Damn it! Come with me!
Oh!
Junpei?
Junpei!
Jun—
Wh-What are you doing?! Let go of us!
Just come with me!
What's with that attitude?
We're doing you a favor by bringing you a cat in need!
Let go of us!
No, don't let go of me ever.
Junpei-kun, you're rather forceful.
Yeah, a boy needs to push his way through when it's time!
Note: A phrase used in commercials for a Japanese strength tonic. "Ippatsu" can also mean sex.
Faito ippatsu!
Oh my, ippatsu...
So you want me to train you?
Yes.
I want to be able to catch sparrows.
I have no stamina or athletic ability, so I can't catch them.
Then why don't you teach him?
Th-This is your important responsibility.
You want to lift your curse, don't you?
Or do you want to turn into a cat?
Is he that out of shape?
Yeah.
You should help him.
Senpai also looks nice when he's troubled.
Man...
Then try it once.
Over there.
Over there?
There?
Go.
Okay!
See?
Don't give me that crap!
He's hopeless.
Kids these days are so weak.
He's more pathetic than Tama.
What's that supposed to mean?!
Don't you get it?
Piss off!
What should we do?
What are you going to do?
What's your plan?
All right, all right.
I guess I'll help.
Th-Then...
Th-Thank you so much, Junpei-san!
I'm so happy!
Don't cling to me!
Thank you!
Good for you.
Also, you're having red bean rice and red snapper for dinner tonight, apparently.
Let's celebrate together.
While your mother and Suzu-chan weren't watching, I bugged your house.
Don't do that!
Yeah! I told you not to!
You shouldn't eavesdrop until you've turned 21.
No, never.
I'm only joking.
If we're getting more family members, we'll need more room.
Should we go for a big change and buy a duplex?
Was she really joking?
I can't go on.
Don't stop there, weakling!
We haven't even run for a minute yet!
Is that voice...
Sheesh.
Plea... let me... rest...
Kousaka-kun!
M-Mizuno!
Hide!
Y-Yes.
Good morning!
Are you jogging too?
Y-Yeah.
Were you with someone else?
Wh-Why?
You were saying, "Don't stop there, weakling!"
Oh, th-that was...
I was talking to myself.
"You're out of shape and weak, so get strong!" See?
You're not that weak.
Mizuno...
Kousaka-kun...
Kaede...
What a coincidence, huh?
You're training in the morning, even after the track meet?
Very good.
I know what you're doing.
Wh-What?
You're training to become a man suitable for me both physically and mentally.
Not really.
Man, you're good at knocking me over.
Sorry.
That's okay.
Anyway, starting after school today,
come to the track team's rookie tryouts!
And!
If you come to the tryouts, you'd better cross the love-love finish line with Kaede,
or you'll have to marry me at once!
Why?!
Hey Kaede, I have good news.
Coming! What is it?
Junpei-san, did you forget about me?
Marriage! Marriage!
Marriage!
So... don't the rookies disturb your training?
Marriage! Marriage! Marriage!
It's perfectly all right.
At this time of year, we're just working on conditioning.
Thank you for waiting!
Hey!
Sumiyoshi?
I told her about the tryouts, and she said she wanted to come too.
I'm way out of shape.
Let's do it together, Junpei, Nagi-senpai.
These boobs are unforgivable 24/7, 365 days a year.
This is getting old.
Stop it, Kanako!
Same to you!
Stop, Kana-chan, Senpai!
Kaede!
I'll be watching those boobs...
I mean,
I'll be watching the other members, so you coach these two!
Yes!
I'm counting on you!
Here it comes!
Why tennis?!
I'm their helper!
They asked me.
Why basketball?
I'm their helper!
They asked me.
Why softball?
Batter: Mizuno
I'm their helper!
Why ping-pong?
I'm their helper!
And sumo.
And swimming.
And volleyball.
And synchronized swimming.
I'm helping everyone.
I'm dead.
Kana-chan, we sweat a lot, so you should bring a change of underwear tomorrow.
Yeah, underwear...
All right.
Are you all right, Kana-chan?
He's not coming.
It's already dark, Junpei-san.
The stars are so pretty.
Hey, where's Dad?
He's not coming home.
Dad, the safety of the Kousaka family is...
in danger!
That was terrible!
I waited here the whole time!
I totally forgot. Sorry.
You'd better be sorry!
Kousaka-kun!
Hey!
H-H-Hey!
The judo club asked me to help them too.
What do you think?
Does it look good on me?
It does!
I want you to throw me.
Seoi-nage!
Um...
You're sweating.
M-M-Mizuno...
M-M-M-M-Mi—
What is it?
It's from Kana-chan.
Let's see...
"My muscles are really sore, so I'm not coming to school today."
R-Really.
She's so fragile.
Oh, I'll wash your handkerchief before returning it.
Don't worry about it.
R-R-Really, I'll wash it.
But...
I'll wash it.
Isn't that a girl's design?
It is.
So, is it Kotone-san's?
Or Akari-chan's?
He's their slave already?
Bye!
See you tomorrow!
Target confirmed.
Oh?
Where did you come from?
He's cute!
What's the matter, kitty?
Track club, gather around!
Oh, we're starting!
Let's go, everyone.
Yes!
Hurry!
But I've caught up to you!
Yeah! Yeah!
I need to go pick up the new gal game, "Moe-nyan"!
Tonight's going to be maid night!
We'll run five laps after stretching.
Manager, keep time for us.
Mizuno can be very forceful too.
Kousaka-kun, don't force yourself to swing your arms. Just relax.
And you'll find it easier to breath from your belly.
Like this.
I see!
You're good at coaching!
Not really.
Mizuno! Mizuno!
Your fun times will soon be over.
All right, we'll call it a day.
Good work!
Huh?
What's wrong, Kaede?
My bra...
Your bra?
No, it's nothing.
I guess I forgot my spare one.
Were you waiting long?
Mizuno! What happened?
Sorry, I had a minor issue.
Anyway, how are you doing?
Can you keep up?
Yeah. I have some sore muscles, but I'm fine.
You need to massage them before you go to sleep.
In the bath too.
Yeah.
By the way, Mizuno...
Yes?
I need to return your handkerchief.
You can take your time.
I washed it and ironed it too.
Here's your handkerchi—
Chi?
No...
No!
Goodness!
No, this is...
That's what I lost in the locker room.
My—
My br—
M-My br—
My bra!
Mizuno-san! Mizuno-san!
You can't help it.
You're at that age!
I'm at that age!
But you still shouldn't do it, right?
An underwear thief...
This is the end for me.
Mizuno... obviously she's not coming.
Damn it! Mitch! That's...
Was this your doing?!
It was.
Why?!
I was doing just great with Mizuno!
You've ruined everything!
Serves you right.
What have I done to you?!
What?
It's all your fault.
Mine?
You abandoned me to spend time with a girl!
A girl?
What are you...
Because...
Because I want to get close to Su-chan!
I want to be lovey-dovey with Su-chan!
And what does that mean?
I want to!
Su-chan, would you go out with me?
I won't consider a weakling who can't even catch a sparrow.
I may change my mind if you catch one.
I may.
But I'm a weakling.
If you help me, maybe I can get together with Su-chan.
But you're only making yourself happy!
Mitch...
Can you blame me for being jealous?!
I'm just a weakling!
I am!
Well... sorry.
Junpei-san...
You're right.
Let's work together, so you can go out with Su-chan.
Junpei-san!
I'm sorry about the bra.
It's okay.
It's all over, in every sense.
Don't be so depressed.
You and that lovely girl looked good together.
R-Really?
You did!
So I'm sure you can clear up this misunderstanding.
Yeah?
I hope so.
Because it's really only a misunderstanding.
Yeah!
It's only a misunderstanding!
Yeah! I guarantee it!
You can clear up this misunderstanding!
Yeah!
I'm starting to feel like it'll work out!
Yeah! You're great! Leader!
Now, I'll train you hard so you can catch a sparrow!
Ready?!
Yeah!
Wait! Wait up!
Slow down a little!
Bye!
M-Mitch!
Junpei-san, thank you for everything.
Nobody will call you a weakling anymore.
You've become a great feline.
I'll go catch a sparrow, and then I'll ask Su-chan out again.
Good luck.
Here I go.
Kousaka?
He was jogging again this morning.
You're not jogging, Kaede?
D-Did something happen?
No, nothing happened.
That's mine.
Kaede!
Um, this might sound weird, but...
Don't worry, I'm used to it.
My bra went missing from my locker the other day.
Oh, I already found it, but...
Are all boys interested in girls underwear?
Boys?!
Underwear?!
Junpei!
Déjà vu.
What the heck?
Kousaka!
Junpei, damn you!
Ow...
Kousaka!
Junpei!
Why did you steal Kaede's bra?!
He stole it?
Oh my...
Why didn't you steal mine?!
W-Wait! Sumiyoshi! Nagi-senpai!
You damn perv!
Just say the word, and you can have mine anytime!
It's all a misunderstanding!
It was Mitch...
I mean, a cat put it in my bag!
Stop lying!
A cat wouldn't steal underwear!
Kousaka Junpei!
That excuse is way too lame!
I-It's the truth!
I'm not guilty!
So, you're saying a cat took the bra...
...from the girls locker room to the boys?
That's so lame.
But still, it really happened!
What?
I saw it.
Saw what?
A cat with some underwear in its mouth...
walked from the girls locker room to the boys.
It made me think, "Man, cats these days carry not just fish, but bras too!"
I didn't make a scene chasing it on bare feet, though.
Oh, a cat did it.
Then we can't blame anyone.
Now that this mystery is solved...
It's all good!
Kana-chan! Senpai!
Don't worry.
All doubt has been removed.
Junpei didn't steal your bra.
So it was a misunderstanding?
Anyway, I'm thinking about setting up a camera next time.
But won't that annoy Kousaka-senpai?
Of course it will.
But... I can't wait to see Kousaka-senpai looking annoyed.
Kotone-chan, don't use spy cams before you've turned 21.
I'm only joking.
Say no to voyeurism
Was that really only a joke?
Yeah,
it's a joke.
So the kitty pulled a prank?
Yeah, so...
I'm sorry!
I was too hasty and misunderstood.
I'm sorry too.
Hey...
What?
Can...
Can we...
Can we—
It's so late already!
I need to go to practice!
Mizuno!
Yes?
The handker—
I washed it and ironed it too.
Thank you.
See you tomorrow.
Yeah.
Yeah!
Junpei-san, it's your turn to give it a shot.
You're late, Kaede!
Hurry! Hurry!
You're so wonderful, Mitch.
Yeah.
It's your turn now...
to be a man.

Today's Nyan Koma.
Today's Mew view
Mizuno's running ability is probably the result of her walking her dogs every day since childhood.
What's wrong with you guys?
You're slower than normal.
She's in a totally different dimension.
The new gal game will be sold out soon!
A super sale at the supermarket!
I'm late for a date!
Lady Nagi!
Tokiwa-cho... it's a cruel and wild town.
Mew view
By the way, cats can reach a top speed of more than 40 km/h.
Now, the next Nyan Koi...
Second semester final exam last-minute study session...
in the pool!
What?!
Junpei, what do you think of this swimsuit?
Mizuno, it looks good on you.
Thank you.
You too.
Next Nyan Koi, 9th nyan-ko, "Girls in the Water!".
Junpei, you were just talking with a cat.
Crap, did she find about the curse?
Do you like... know what cats think?
Y-Yeah! I guess!
