Have you…
ever…
fallen in love?
Ah! That felt great!
And right in the middle of class too.
It seems like you’re always taking a nap.
It’s because lectures always put me to sleep.
I even had a dream today!
What kind of dream?
A love confession!
Huh?
The guy confessed to me and asked to be with me.
He even got down on his knees!
His knees? What century are we talking about?
And then, when I said “Yes” he carried me off like a princess!
I was so ecstatic!
I also want my big brother to tell me he loves me and carry me like a princess!
There she goes again with her “Big Brother!”
Can’t you do anything about that brother complex of yours?
But don’t you and Kei-chan ever want the guy you have a crush on to say he loves you?
Not really.
I’m all right with a guy who’s my type confessing to me,
but its a real problem being confessed to by a guy you’re just not into.
You are popular after all, Kei-chan!
Huh, what do you mean?
You’d like it if a guy you don’t like confesses to you?
I’m just looking forward to the day when I do get confessed to.
I totally agree!
Even if it’s just once,
I want to know what being confessed to feels like!
It’s true.
Up until now,
I’ve always dreamt about being confessed to like this.
Being the one and only love of someone special!
I’d immediately go out with him unconditionally of course!
Unconditionally? Are you serious?
There’s something important you’re forgetting isn’t there?
Something important?
His appearance!
Enomoto here chooses boys based on their looks!
Of course! Their looks are essential!
But…
If you want to be happy, its better to be loved, then to just love someone…
Eh?
W-What? It looks like he is wearing a high school uniform but…
Is he a demon resurrected in the 21st century?!
W-What should we do? He’s still looking right at us!
Help me, Big Brother!
W-We should make a run for it before it gets worse!
Are you OK, Nao?
What?
What is he trying to take out?!
Stop! Let me off!
Huh? Nothing’s happening?
Maybe he left?
Eh?
A letter?
What’s that, Ayumi-chan?
Is he challenging you to a duel or something?
Don’t say scary things like that!
Y-You don’t have to answer right now.
It spoke…
Isn’t that great, Ayumi?!
He just confessed his love for you!
Let me see this love letter!
His handwriting is so cute for a guy his size!
“Zaitsu Misao”.
Even that part is cute!
This is no laughing matter!
Come on, you’d better hurry and go and tell him “Yes!”
You said yourself that you’d go out with anyone who confessed to you!
I was talking about actual people!
I’d rather die than go out with that monster!
This is why I told you that appearance is important!
And now you’ve been confessed to by that beast, what a mess!
I’m gonna refuse, though!
But will you really be OK if you do that?
If you refuse…
Who knows how he’ll react?
She’s right…
It will be alright!
He did say she doesn’t have to answer him right now!
A-Anyway, let’s go home?
Ayumi-chan?
Ayumi?
Could it be… are you crying?
I’d be crying my eyes out too.
It’s her first time being confessed to, and it’s by that monster!
Well, what then?
I’m so shocked that I can’t get up.
I’m back.
The manhunt has finally ended with the arrest of the suspect.
What…
the hell should I do?
The victim, a young woman, said she was attacked
when the suspect became angry
What am I gonna do!
If that happens to me…
after she rejected his appeal for a personal relationship.
Yuuji, don’t be glued to the TV.
That guy…
Yeah.
This one-sided love seems to be the motive of this serious crime…
With that size of his… I’d probably be…
What a world we live in.
there’s just no…
You better watch yourself, Ayumi.
There’s just no way out!
Thank’s for the meal.
Huh? But you haven’t eaten anything yet.
Are you sick or what? Ayumi?
What a disaster!
I guess I can use this to make her lunch for tomorrow.
Whatever I choose to do will be a living hell!
What should I do…?
What if I just go ahead and go out with him?
If I do become his girlfriend, he might even treat me right.
But…
would I be able to bear it?
Those oversized bear-like hands of his…
That gigantic mouth straight out of Jaws…
And with that arsenal,
he will-
He will do all those disgusting things!
Huh?
What am I thinking about?
Hey! Ayumi!
Don’t surprise me-!
You’re surprised?!
Don’t you ever go into your teenage sister’s room without knocking first!
I’m sorry…
I was just worried since you didn’t eat your food tonight.
Worried?
Thats right!
You might be able to help me solve my problem!
Big brother…
I have a tiny favor to ask of you…
You know that I can never turn you down whenever you ask me that way.
So what’s up?
If something happened, you know you can always tell your big brother!
Um, well…
There’s this guy I want you to beat up.
Beat up?
Did that guy do something to you, Ayumi?
No…
Not yet, anyways.
But… he might do something soon…
What the-!
That punk thinks he can lay his hands on my beautiful Ayumi!
Leave it to me!
I’ll smash him into pieces!
So, who are we talking about?
A boy from your class?
No, no.
Zaitsu Misao, a high school student.
Zaitsu Misao?
Judging by his uniform, he might be from Kurobone High…
Huh? Brother?!
That is The Name that is not to be uttered in vain!
Eh? Why?
Weren’t you going to smash him to pieces?!
Idiot! Don’t you care about your big brother’s life?!
Wh-?
What the hell?
Does he even care what happens to me?
Yuuji you loser!
Who am I kidding?
He’d never would have won that fight in the first place.
If thats the case…
I’m going to sleep!
Come morning…
everything that happened…
would be just a dream.
I’m off!
Or maybe not!
Why?
Is she OK?
Definitely not safe.
That guy is scary!
My nightmare…
only continued after that.
Help me, Big Brother!
Why is he following me home too?
Give me a break!
Mr. Monster has sure been at it everyday.
How many days has it been now?
A full week…
It’s so stressful, I’m about to break!
He’s even following me around in my dreams.
If it goes on like this, I’m gonna die from lack of sleep…
That’s horrible, Ayumi-chan!
Isn’t it because you haven’t given him an answer yet?
But…
Who knows what he might do if I reject him?
Then just go out with him!
Do that, and you’ll be the first among us to have a boyfriend!
Whoa! I’m so jealous!
Fine then, Kei-chan!
Why don’t you go out with him instead of me!
Do it as a huge favor!
I’d be glad to help you but…
Look, appearances matter too much for me!
You called?
Who called you, kappa-face?!
Your face alone is a laugh riot!
Right, Ayu-
Ayumi-chan?
Can’t move…
I used up the last of my strength
back when I yelled at you.
If you don’t feel well, how about I take you to the infirmary?
He’s right.
Come on, Ayumi.
Get up and go to the infirmary.
Can’t.
Can’t move.
Guess you leave me no choice…
W-W-What are you doing?
What? What?
Arihara-san quit squirming. You’ll fall!
Are those two an item?
B-But…
You’re holding me like a princess…
What should I do? My heart is pounding!
You know…
I want to become a rescue worker someday.
Ah I see.
I’ve…
always dreamed that someone will love me, but…
without a doubt…
this is what it feels like for a girl to fall in love!
A rescue worker’s wife?
Two kids…
We’re here, Arihara-san.
a boy and a girl would be nice!
Well then, she’s all yours.
Thank you very much, Zaitsu-kun!
Zaitsu?
The Zaitsu?
No way!
Well then, take care.
Wait! Hey, Zaitsu-kun!
You wouldn’t by any chance happen to have an older brother who’s in high school, would you?
Oh, so you also heard about my big brother, Arihara-san.
I guess the name “Zaitsu Misao”
is pretty well known around these parts.
Zaitsu Misao…
A-Arihara-san?
This is a nightmare!
She’s been moving around so restless in her sleep!
That must be some scary dream she’s having.
No!
If I get married to Zaitsu-kun,
his brother will always be one step behind us!
Despite our love just getting started,
I’m cursed with never being able to get him off my back!
People are talking about you and Zaitsu-kun in class, you know.
Eh? You’re kidding!
No way! I’m so embarrassed!
Zaitsu-kun was real quick to deny it, though.
But really, Mr. Monster is Zaitsu-kun’s older brother?
I did hear the rumors, but…
They don’t look alike at all.
DNA can be strange.
You’re right about that.
Zaitsu-kun is so kind and so cute!
And he’s so reliable!
Well, that’s enough about Zaitsu-kun for now.
What’s more important is that you need to do something about that Beast Boy.
Yeah, we can’t even go home together anymore, with the guy being so creepy and all.
Think about how Koyoi and Nao feel too.
I guess I should answer him right?
We wish you luck!
Fine.
That’s right.
I’m not just making it tough for myself.
Everyone else also has it rough.
If I think about my friends, I’ll be OK!
I can do this!
Um!
Why?
Why did this guy fall in love with me?
I-It’s bothering me!
The way you keep following me every day!
I’ll come and give you the answer myself when I’m ready…
So please, stop following me around!
What to do? He’s getting angry!
I guess I…
Anyway, that’s how it is!
Why…
did he fall in love with me?
If I came this far, he wouldn’t have followed, right?
Huh? I did tell him not to follow me…
Was I too harsh?
Huh? Why am I feeling guilty for that guy?
That’s just dumb!
You’re Misao’s girl, right?
There were three high-schoolers involved in a fight.
One of them’s unconscious and is in critical condition.
The patient’s name is Zaitsu Misao.
Can you hear me?
Zaitsu-kun? Zaitsu-kun!
At that time, I had a vision.
That girl’s…
smile…
Ayumi-chan!
It’s a miracle! He’s regained consciousness!
That was why I had to confess to her.
I’m always involved in fights, who knows what will happen to me.
Bothering, huh?
Hello?
Misao’s gonna come, no doubt!
The day we finally put an end to that bastard has come.
This is a joke right?
How could this really be happening?
More importantly, why do these things keep happening to me!
Anyways, he’s gone sweet for some eighth grade tweener girl.
I mean, what’s up with that?
Judging from his face, he’s probably perverted.
So that’s it, they kidnapped me for bait!
Anyways, how’d you happen to catch this girl going home alone?
That guy’s always making sure he saw her off.
Hell, he probably had to take a dump along the way.
Ferchrissakes…
you know this chick is his weak spot,
why would he ditch her to look for a toilet?
He’s never gonna come.
You’re a complete dumbass, you know that?
Because I…
Shut the hell up!
A hard shit out of nowhere ain’t nothing to fuck with!
Do you have any goddamn clue how painful the moment of crisis is?
He’s not gonna come!
He’s definitely pissed off.
What? It was a lovers’ spat?
Hey! Hey! What’s the whole point if Misao ain’t coming?
He’s not coming to save the likes of me!
After I said those horrible things to him!
Don’t cry!
Misao is still in love with you.
He’ll definitely come to save you, so don’t cry, OK?
Wow!
Mi-Misao!
As promised, I came.
Are you going to release her now?
The girl.
A-A-A-A-Ayu-Ayu-Ayu…
Ayu…
What? Are you too embarrassed to even say her name?
For that face of his, what a teddy bear-!
Sorry, I’m late.
I thought you wouldn’t come.
Why?
OK, this is where the lovey-dovey mood ends.
Now it’s time to show you what our little hostage has to offer.
Check it!
What are you doing?!
If you keep putting up a fight, I’ll expose even more of her special areas!
St-St-Stop it! What are you doing?
It’d be a shame, since I don’t really want this junior-high girl to go through that.
Stop it! You jerk!
So just shut up…
and take your ass-stomping!
Take this!
Get him, get him!
We’re gonna put an end to his undefeated streak!
If I didn’t let myself get captured… this guy would surely win.
If I didn’t tell him he was bothering me back then… this would have never…
You idiot!
Don’t worry about me, be a man and fight back!
You’re strong, aren’t you?!
Don’t lose toward those bastards who use cowardly methods!
Don’t worry about me!
Eh? Do you really want to be saying that?
Well it’s your call…
You want everyone to see even more of your panties-?
You… The rope, how did you…
This? The rope was loose from the beginning.
I just didn’t think I’d be able to get out of here,
so I faked being unable to move.
You’re the one who didn’t tied her tight enough!
But I did it like you told me!
Don’t blame him!
Now then…
Why don’t I return the favor?
Oh shit!
Go get ’em!
A-Are you OK?
Yeah.
You know…
I was really scared back there!
Huh?
She… she took him down?!
Nobody has ever been able to beat him up till now!
And it was the girl that Misao picked?
So, the strongest one here is…
this girl?
We beg your forgiveness!
Eh?
I saw them… Ayumi’s panties…
My love…
has only just begun!
My neighbor Yamamoto-san
My first love has only just begun.
And already things have become complicated!
No, Zaitsu-kun!
Don't fall for that curvy temptress!
