We’re in the same class!
What? Yay!
New students, huh?
Wish I could get that excited.
Being in ninth grade is no way to live.
And now we’re finally in ninth grade?
It’s great that we’re all in the same class again.
Zaitsu-kun.
Allow me to join you in your sorrow.
Good morning!
Ah, Kei-chan!
Hey, hey, hey!
Have you checked out the new students?
Talk about some sweater puppies, man! Huge!
That do this…
Hell, they weren’t just huge, those were massive tits!
Yeeowch…
What the crap!
Settle down and do something about your womanizing! You Kappa Man!
Whaa? Again with the “kappa!?”
What’s wrong with saying “kappa” to a kappa-face?
What the-!
You kappa! Kappa!
Kappa, kappa. Kappa-kappa…
And here we go again…
…kappa-kappa-kappa-ka-PPA!
Kappa?
Kappas are skeezy goblins, right?
To Enomoto-san}
So that nickname fits you perfectly!
Fine, call me a kappa! In return, I’ll be as sleazy as I wanna be!
One kappa in the bag!
You are just what I had in mind!
Still you have no headplate, is this a regression?
Hold on! What are you doing?!
Oh no, I’ll be the one taking him!
Just what are you saying?!
For the love of-let go of him!
Oww…
I can’t think of anyone other than him to play a kappa in our musical.
What the heck?
Play a kappa? Who are you exactly?
Oww…
Oh, moi…? I am…
I am the president of the drama club,
Fudounomiya Sumire!
Drama club?
This year's welcoming convocation for the new students
will be the first performance since my inauguration.
And above anything else, I want this to be a success.
Do you see my point?
And for that to happen, we will need a kappa.
For gosh sakes, he is not a kappa!
So a rival has appeared on the scene?
I’m telling you, I didn’t do a damn thing!
You were all gaga over her, which is just as bad.
Were you seriously thinking about acting in the first place?
I’m totally against it.
I don’t see anything good coming out of play-acting with her.
I’m trying to have a serious conversation here!
You’re still thinking about how her boobs felt, aren’t ya?
Sho shaawft…
Like I care!
Miss Melons and the Demon Queen.
Why do our rivals have to have big breasts?
Why indeed?
Kei-chan, do you have a crush on Kusuda-kun?
Wha-What makes you think that?
But you two have been together a lot lately.
And today you were actually competing for him.
Now, that was just…
Hey there! Koyoi-chan!
Geh! It’s the Demon Queen!
Huh? Yuu!
Ah, Kei-chan!
Huh, so she’s your big sister?
And you all are her friends?
Nice to meet you!
Uh, umm…
We’re sorry for what happened the other day!
Why are you apologizing?
I’m actually grateful for what you did, so thanks a lot, really!
Uh, you worked part-time here during Christmas, right?
What do you mean?
You’re right, but…
Oh, I remember now!
You told me to watch out for peepers.
Yeah, that was me.
Okay, so you were Enomoto’s little sister.
Yeah, well…
Meguru-chan, this is my sister, Kei-chan!
Pleasure to meet you.
Uh, same here.
Hmm, so it really is great to have big breasts.
I finally found you!
Q-chan!
Stop calling me Q-chan!
My name is Kyuuma Nanoka! I have been your rival since forever!
Huh? A rival?
And she’s not big at all.
Shut up!
Watase Meguru! I challenge you to a swim race!
Q-chan, so you’ve enrolled in our high school, huh?
That’s right.
Just for a chance to defeat you!
Huh?
I put myself through hell training at the swimming school just for this opportunity.
So we must race-!
Sorry. I’ve quit swimming.
Huh? You’ve quit?
Whaddaya mean you quit? Wait Meguru-senpai!
Didn’t the exact same thing happen before?
Not like she’s gonna win anyways.
I’m going to go all out too.
For the love of God…
Why are you even here?
I thought it would be good to show him the script first.
“A kappa passes through, spinning his headplate…”
Right here.
And then?
That is all.
Huh? That’s it?!
Are you making fun of an extra?
This is a crucial scene that delivers a profound message from me to the new students.
That’s plain stupid!
You don’t really need that role!
Who are you to decide?
And what is this kappa to you in the first place?
Wha-?
We’re just… how do you put it…
This has nothing to do with you!
I told you already I’m not doing it, so I won’t!
Gosh…
So the rumors are true that you quit swimming because your breasts got too big?
Q-chan!
C’mon!
Club president Takei wants to see me and Meguru-senpai race together, don’t you?
Pretty please? Ask Meguru-senpai to race me!
I…
I guess I do like someone who’s fast.
So… so that was it all along!
Yep, I must be the faster woman!
I accept your challenge!
I thank you for your assent.
It will be a 50-meter backstroke. There will be one race only.
Meguru-chan…
…lost.
I-I did it.
Yippee!
I beat Meguru-senpai!
Yay! Yay! I’ve beaten her!
Yeah! Yippee! Haha! Yay! Yay!
My world’s gone upside down.
Thanks to Miss Melons.
What else do I have?
If I don’t have my swimming…
Sorry, but I’m about to ask you something kinda weird.
Nah. It’s about your boobs, right?
It’s not about my breasts! It’s not!
Huh? Why are you like that?
Those are the boobs that can lead to a new life!
Hmm? A new life?
Mm-hmm!
It’d be a shame if you hide them.
I guess you’re right.
You know I am.
If it’s the boobs he’s after, I’m no small fry myself.
Huh… why am I acting stupid?
That is not even remotely the issue here.
Hmm? What’s with the cucumbers?
Huh, whatever.
Hmm, that’s strange. And they’re kappas’ favorite food too.
Boy are you dumb.
If you really want to reel Kusuda in, use this.
Bling!
You sure do know a lot about that guy!
Of course I do! I’ve known him longer than you have.
So you’re dating him?
I… I… I-I-I-
I am not dating that kappa face!
Why would you even think that?
Say…
What do you think Enomoto really thinks of me?
Hey…
Are you still shook up about being dumped by your next-door Onee-san, Zaitsu?
Isn’t he, Sogabe?
Right now, I’m just not good enough.
Huh?
My looks, my intelligence, my future aspects- I have nothing that compares to him.
I can’t talk about anything with those two the way they are now.
Ahhh! What’s all this?!
I don’t know what’s going on, but damn if I ain’t lucky!
This broad… whoo-whoo-whoo!
And all because I showed off my Kusuda-knowledge?
Now hold on!
Don’t let yourself get tricked!
What’re you doing! Give ’em back!
Don’t you get it? This is a trap set by Miss Melons!
Jeez, and it’s only because you’re too slow to turn her down!
I’m thinking, since she put it out there, it wouldn’t hurt to try.
Look, I’m a sucker when people ask me for something, and…
Well, her needing me so much to go this far has me sorta stoked.
What’s your problem?!
You jerkwad!
Fine, just go ahead and fall for Miss Melons’ seduction!
Hah?
I went and did it again.
Why must this always happen?
Huh?
Oh, Kei-chan.
What’s with those boobs?
Um… well…
R-Right now I’m flaunting my bust.
Huh? Your bust…?
What I’m saying is that I’m wearing a bigger bra and have unfastened some buttons.
Whoa… incredible!
You got everybody’s attention.
You said it, and I’ve been thinking that you may be right.
The only thing I can take pride in besides swimming… are these, I guess.
So that’s that.
Pride?
I have to get back to school!
Thank you, Meguru-san!
Huh?
Meguru-senpai!
Huh?
Q-chan.
Everyone.
Takei-senpai…
What are you doing taking an unexcused absence from the club?
Everybody is worried about you.
Takei, aren’t you gonna say something to Meguru-chan?
I…
…really need to buy some things.
Let’s go.
Huh?
Hey, wai… Meguru-senpai!
Oooh! It does look great on you!
I swear I’m gonna kill you.
I’ve always had my eyes on this. I guess I’m going to get it.
What do you say, Q-chan?
I don’t want any of this!
Q-chan?
Why are you such a coward?!
Now all of a sudden you’re fixated with your breasts!
Eh?
The only place where you need to show your goods is over there!
Watase.
Eh?
Come with me.
Alright. We’re having a contest, Watase.
First it’s the 50-meter butterfly.
Then it’s the 50-meter backstro-
I’m just going to lose anyway.
I can no longer swim at my peak time.
Let’s do this.
On your marks!
Get set…
You see, I can’t even keep up with you.
Frustrating, isn’t it?
You’re frustrated, right?
Why, Watase?
If you’re frustrated, why did you quit?
It’s just not like you to quit.
You practiced with more zeal than anyone else. Why?
I hated how I looked in a swimsuit!
My big breasts had me completely mortified!
That’s why.
There, I said it.
That is nothing to be ashamed of.
If I say you shouldn’t be ashamed, then you should never be ashamed.
Do you understand, Watase?
Besides…
I love breasts that are as big as yours!
Huh?
Senpai? Just now…
Large breasts are marvelous things.
So don’t be ashamed and just swim, Watase!
O…Okay!
Yeah!
You guys…
If you want revenge, I’m up to the challenge, Meguru-senpai!
The thing I have to be proud of… huh?
Huh? Enomoto?
So you didn’t go home, huh?
Enomoto?
I don’t know what she did to you.
I… I’m not exactly lacking in the boobs department myself, you know!
So… um…
I mean… what I’m saying, Kusuda… is…
W-What’s with that sigh just now?!
Everything’s over, so we’re good now.
What do you mean “over?”
I had to turn her down.
You better come up with something better than that! I still don’t get it!
I turned down the kappa role!
Anyone could have played it, and it wasn’t even a main character anyway.
Besides, everything you said before kept ringing in my ear.
That’s right!
I’ve always been saying that you aren’t cut out for plays!
Right?
“Right” my left buttcheek. Damn pruneface.
Hey, now just hold on! You kappa-face!
Shove it, pruny!
Kusuda.
I got a favor to ask you.
What is it?
Could you… give this to Enomoto-san?
You can give a love letter by your own self.
But you’re the one that talks with her a lot, right?
So do me a solid.
Huh?
I’m counting on you.
You gotta be kidding me!
Good morning!
Huh?
She let her hair down!
Good morning!
Huh?
She means business!
It’s true! You are crushing on Kusuda-kun!
Cripes! What makes you think that?!
Hey, could that be a love letter?
For Kei-chan?
Eh?
Well, aren’t you two…
…soo lovey-dovey!
Quit it.
Lovey-dovey!
It’d be a huge problem for me if people found out about it.
First off, I can never like such a butt-ugly freak!
A guy equals his looks, period! Looks are everything!
Dumbass. Don’t get the wrong idea.
Kashiwagi asked me to give you this.
Hey, hey. When he said “Kashiwagi-kun” does he mean the Kashiwagi-kun?
The one that’s tall and handsome?
Way to go, Kei-chan!
Th… that’s right!
Hot guys like Kashiwagi-kun are soo meant for me!
Unlike you.
Whoa there, Enomoto…
And there’s no way in hell that I’d ever like you!
Like you ever had a chance in this lifetime!
Hmph!
I gotta say, you always take things too far.
I sure do.
I know all that, but I do it anyway!
You gotta own up to your feelings, Enomoto.
If I was able to do that, it would have been done already!
Hey, hey, what would you do if your boyfriend was butt-ugly?
Bwaahaha! Just shoot me if that happened!
Don’t you want a dee-licious cucumber?
Here boy, here boy!
Here boy! Here boy… c’mon…
I did refuse the kappa role, didn’t I?
I’ve been noticing you’ve been moping around lately,
so I decided to stick my nose in it.
So how about it?
Whatever’s on your mind, I’ll lend an ear.
Oho.
So you’re asking what are Girl A’s actual feelings as a woman
if she says she loathes Boy B but keeps squabbling with him?
I guess.
It could only mean one thing…
She’s into you, Kusuda. Enomoto the girl.
Argh! We’re talking “what ifs” here!
“Girl A” and “Boy B” has nothing to do with me!
Okay, assuming that…
I think the pattern I see points to a typical case of repressed romance.
I thought so too from the beginning.
…I can never like such a butt-ugly freak!
But now, I think she’s just mocking me, nothing more.
I’m not much to look at anyway.
Hey!
Oh, Girl A enters the scene.
What do you mean “Girl A?”
Didn’t you refuse the part of the kappa?
That I did.
Then why are the two of you here?
What are you so pissed off about?
You’re probably drooling over her again despite being a loser kappa!
We’re just talking, that’s all.
About what?
Something you can’t tell me?
What exactly are you two hiding?
Come on, say something!
What the hell is up with you always bitching at me like this?
Huh?
It’s starting to get old.
Old?
Damn right!
You hate ugly-ass freaks like me, right?
So just leave me the hell alone ferchrissakes!
You cocktease me just to get my hopes up.
It’s girls like you I hate so goddamn much!
I’m…
I’m sorry.
Saki-nee…
Chikura-san…
Hey-hey-HEY!
If you all have time to sigh like that,
then let’s go on a roadtrip!
A roadtrip to change our lives forever!
