They're My Friends.
Take your seats.
I'm going to call the roll.
Aizawa.
Here.
Akaishi.
Here.
She's hopeless.
I guess I'll answer for her.
Amami.
Here.
Present.
Show me your panties!
L-Let's try that again.
Amami.
Here.
Present.
One deluxe helping of panty shots!
Th-That's too many people answering for you, stupid!
Submit
And... update.
Blogging again?
I'm hooked on this lately.
In this class, I never run out of stuff to blog about.
I'm so sorry! I dozed off!
No, no, no, no, no,
no such thing as ghosts. No such thing as ghosts. No such thing as ghosts...
So Amami can see ghosts...
And Inoue's so terrified, she refuses to accept it.
A lot of them today.
I bet they're the ones who answered the roll for her.
So they show up in pictures.
Yeah. That's why I can post them to my blog.
Why are you so sleepy today?
Well...
I had a dream last night,
and in it...
Hey, baby.
Let me see those panties.
No!
Let me see those panties.
No!
Let me see those panties!
No!
It went on all night, until I finally said "okay."
What an awful nightmare about sexual harassment.
Dreams like that are all in your head.
Come on, let's go to the nurse's office.
You need some rest.
Thank you.
Inoue-san's so nice.
Inoue gives me such great pictures.
Nurse's Office
No way! I refuse to believe this is a ghost!
It wasn't a ghost. It wasn't a ghost.
It wasn't a ghost...
Welcome back, Amami-san. Are you okay now?
Yes, I feel much better. Thank you.
Did you sleep soundly?
Yes.
I had another dream,
but this time a boy shouting "Heaven's wrath!" saved me.
Heaven's wrath?
That'd be the "present" guy.
Yep.
I'm kinda surprised no one really picks on Amami.
Huh?
You know, normally the ghost thing would make someone a target.
I guess... Maybe people are afraid of being haunted.
What I fear...
Meow Meow
is that bullying her could cause her to transform into something wholly different.
Like a brutal sadist!
There are times when humans can be scarier than ghosts, though.
You said it.
Which do I fear more...
Ghosts or humans?
They were talking about it, so I wondered.
What scares me is...
Show me those panties!
C-Cats...
Why are you holding your skirt?
What about you, Inoue-san?
D-Don't ask me dumb questions like that.
I guess I don't have to ask.
O-Obviously...
Humans are scarier!
Your spirit guardian's your grandma, after all.
You, Uehara-san?
I'd say humans.
I mean, look.
Spirit Ranking
She's a goddess Nice, nice!! Cute!! Gorgeous She's hot I'm gonna go take my own ghost photo! So where do I go do meet this ghost? Can't get enough! This is nuts
Nothing can compare to this kind of carnal desire.
Wow.
And you, Esumi-san?
Let's see... Ghosts, I guess.
Wow, I'm surprised.
You're always so cool and calm, so I figured...
Well, if it's a human I'm up against...
I can punch them.
That's our ex-gangster...
Ex-gangster?!
Esumi and I have been friends since we were little.
Childhood friends...
I'm a bit envious.
It's not as great as you'd think.
We both know each other's dark pasts, too. Right?
Yep.
I like that humans can be punched.
Yep.
Wh-What have those two been through?
Ogawa-san!
This is kinda out of nowhere, but do you think humans or ghosts are scarier?
I wouldn't say either is scary,
but my favorite is somewhere in between.
In between?
In between.
Ghosts and humans...
He asked which is scarier, but...
Pom Shop Snacks and Bread
Watch out!
Are you okay?
What are you doing?
Inoue-san!
Sheesh.
Are you crazy? Look, you're soaked now.
Here.
Wipe yourself off.
Inoue-san...
Inoue-san,
if you'd seen her, you would have done the same thing.
Did you say something?
Nope.
The Next Day
What's wrong, Amami-san?
Why do you look so sleepy again?
Actually...
The cat came after me in my dreams again...
What happened to the "heaven's wrath" guy?
He...
Heaven's wrath!
Hooray for panties!
They were locked in a fierce battle.
Some roll-call samurai he is.
Roll-call samurai?
He was the "present" guy, right?
Call for aid!
Aid?
These.
I think these guys are wonderful!
They're trapped between life and death by an unknown curse,
but they don't bemoan their circumstances.
They endure the persecution, and they're still brave enough to chase their dreams...
Why is she carrying those around?
That's what she meant by "in between"?
Are those handmade?
They're on your side!
O-Okay...
Um... Um...
Please, don't fight...
Barbarian fiends!
Why couldn't it be a bunch of chicks?!
No!
Please... Try to get along...
Take your seats.
I'm going to call the roll.
Aizawa.
Here.
Akaishi.
Here.
I wonder if the ghosts will answer for her again.
Amami...
Prejent— Uh...
He said "prejent"!
Talk about embarrassing.
I know, right?
Free Period
Did the cat keep you up again?
Then you need more backup!
N-No, that wasn't it...
Actually, I've had something on my mind...
Hey, have you all heard?
There's a rumor going around.
On rainy days when you have no umbrella...
Need an umbrella?
...asks a mysterious girl.
In return, give me your face!
Yamada, you jerk!
Amami-san, have you heard about that?
Even Amami-san, the girl with the sixth sense...
...is going pale after hearing a ghost story.
Do you need to go to the bathroom?!
Is she possessed?
Don't say that, Esumi. It could actually happen.
N-No!
That's the reason I couldn't sleep again last night.
The truth is,
I walked home with her the other day.
Huh?!
I should've known!
I declined the umbrella,
but only by coincidence. I didn't know her story.
I asked if she had any tips for dealing with eyestrain.
Then I learned she didn't even have a face, let alone eyes.
I feel so awful for asking that of her!
Th-That's the part that shocked you?
So that's why you couldn't sleep.
What're you doing, Amami-san?
She wants to give that to the no-face ghost as an apology.
She comes out on rainy days because she likes the rain.
Then this will...
Several Days Later
U-Um...
I'm sorry about the other day!
Please accept this as my apology.
What's with the masochist rain doll?
Masochist?!
This'll probably bring more rain, not less.
Yes...
Don't humans hate rain because they hate getting wet?
But when it rains...
I can talk to you again.
You... have too much free time.
Yes.
Wanna share?
Yes!
The Next Day
You're making presents for the other ghosts, too?
She seemed really pleased with it.
Knitting them this time, huh?
It's been so cold with all the rain.
I wouldn't want them to catch cold.
Can ghosts catch colds?
I just want to thank all of them for helping me so much.
Helping?
Thank you!
Wow, that's amazing!
There's nothing there! I see nothing!
They really do help her.
Are you going to give one to him, too?
The roll-call samurai.
Oh, yeah, the one who said "prejent."
Yep! Prejent, prejent!
He really blew that one.
Incoming Call
Answer Reject
Who's this?
I did no such thing.
I most certainly did no such thing!
New Mail
Uehara
Noritama is delicious
Noritama is delicious...
That makes no sense!
What's the problem, Uehara?
Well, the roll-call samurai just sent me a weird email.
The roll-call samurai?
Amami-san, the roll-call samurai—
Slashed right across my back...
You're not cut.
Give me back my phone.
What was that noise?
Probably him warning us not to tell Amami.
Still, this anonymous message makes no sense.
Anonymous message?
Yeah, there's no sender.
I, Yoshida, a veritable cryptology expert due to my experience in the mysteries of the world,
have already deduced the answer.
Since he's a samurai, should we read it vertically?
You all probably have no idea—
So this is it!
Yeah. This is where he said to meet us.
Why did I have to come, too?
Is this...
The roll-call samurai's grave?
"It was Amami-dono who restored my worn and weathered grave to a pristine state."
"When she learned I had starved to death,
she left me a bounty of rice and soup...
In a basin."
Wait for me!
S-Still in the rice cooker?
So he wants to repay her.
"I'd like you to give her a gift on my behalf, and tell her...
the Noritama was truly exquisite."
I was right about that part?!
Noritama
I found the strange basin and odd utensils comical.
Yet with each bite, my tears flowed.
I pray that good fortune finds you.
So the gift he mentioned...
This must be it.
The Following Day
Wow, look at them all!
I'll take good care of them.
Well, if they all looked together, I can believe they found that many.

You all think Amami-san went to give the roll-call samurai a present, too?
He'll email us if he wants to thank her again.
That's him.
Uehara The scarf
Me wearing the scarf you made
Isn't that...
The roll-call samurai's in top form now.
Darn it!
It's a mirage!
There is no ghost samurai!
Actually...
Many Thanks
He's too full of himself now.
It's pissing me off!
Preview
I'm Inoue Narumi.
I swear, ever since Amami transferred here, it's been crazy.
And now my bratty cousin's visiting and being totally demanding!
Where am I supposed to go for some peace and quiet?
W-Well, it's not as if it bothers me, really.
Hey, don't make me say that!
Next time on Re-Kan!: "Delicious Fried Eggs."
