Hanazuka High School Entrance Ceremony
Chemistry II
So as of today, we're second-years.
It makes me nervous to think we have underclassmen.
Yes.
What's he doing?
Yamajirou-senpai...
Yamada the Masked Senpai I...
Hey!
He's writing down names he wants his underclassmen to call him!
No! Don't look!
Creepy, creepy, creepy. This is too creepy.
Well, they're gonna give us names like this eventually, right?
So why not start giving it some thought now?
Delusional weirdo.
Like, Amami-san would be...
"Sixth-senpai."
Inoue-san would be...
Tsundere-senpai, maybe!
Hey! What does that mean?!
You do have a point.
Right?
I'm glad you understand, Messiah-senpai.
Okay, why don't we step outside?
We've Entered Our Second Year.
I want to help the new first-years however I can!
You sound pretty enthusiastic.
You think you can handle it?
Yes!
Uh, the bigger question is...
Are the new students even gonna accept her?
Hanazuka Prefectural High School
Good morning.
Oh, S-Senpai, good morning.
Good morning.
Something's in there!
Wait!
Reference Room
This is the reference room.
Thank you ver—
They said to put the materials over there...
I'm exhausted from gym class.
Yeah.
Excuse me!
Your braid's coming loose. Shall I fix it?
Thank you, Senpai.
Huh?
There's only one of her, and two braids...
Huh?!
And then—
I'm scared!
One Week Later
Did I scare all those first-years?
Amami's really down.
Well, they were all pretty terrified.
Hmph. So what?
So she scared some kids she doesn't even know. Why get so upset?
Uh-oh.
Tsundere-senpai's getting jealous.
Who are you calling Tsundere-senpai?!
I know!
Let's give her a new image!
A new image?
Yes.
Before your "scary girl" image completely takes hold,
we'll show them that you're not scary at all!
For you, Yamada, that's not a bad idea.
Yeah, that might be...
Hey, it's Doofus Yamada-senpai!
So this is Doofus Yamada-senpai's class.
See?
Looks like his doofus image has taken hold already.
L-Let's give her a new image...
Like Ogawa
Hey, not bad.
You kinda look more spunky that way.
Y-You think so?
Yes.
Please, anything but that.
Like Uehara
That looks pretty mature.
Y-You think so?
Wanna try blogging, too?
Okay!
Sending
Data limit reached
Like Esumi
All right!
Bring on the fight!
You don't have to do that!
Seriously, what?!
I-It's not like I'm happy about this or anything.
What's that supposed to be?!
W-Well, I'm off.
Good luck!
Just a thought,
but isn't it the ghosts that make everyone scared of Amami?
Yeah.
Then changing her image won't do her any—
It didn't work...
Hang in there
I figured.
There, there.
I know.
Let's try a new image!
That already failed once!
The ghosts are the ones scaring people, not her.
I meant, let's try giving the ghosts a new image!
Huh?
Home Economics Room
How pretty!
Isn't a bunch of floating fingernails still scary?
The classroom door will open momentarily.
Please stand behind the white line.
Okay!
The door is opening.
You're like a totally different person!
I'm, like, the gorgeous, ill-fated ghost babe now, right?
As long as your mouth stays shut, yes.
Who's that?!
How dare y-you?!
You?!
Opening. Closing.
Shake, shake.
Okay, I'm off!
The door is opening.
Good luck.
Make sure you haven't forgotten anything.
The door is closing.
A ghost with a new image is still a ghost, isn't it?
Yep.
It still didn't work.
I figured.
We've got no other option but to ask Hanako-san.
Since Hanako-san represents all the school ghosts,
if people see that she's not scary,
maybe they won't be afraid of the others.
Huh?
I'm sorry! It's my fault!
Huh? What're you talking about?
Is this okay?
Yeah! That's really cute!
Wonderful.
Y-You think so?
No snarky remarks?
Perish the thought.
That ought to do it.
Yep.
Yeah!
Yes.
What?
It's true, I swear!
Huh?
I really tried my best, man...
"Man"?
I'm sorry I couldn't help.
You're plenty cute just as you are!
Hey, it's Doofus Yamada-senpai.
What's he up to?
Another Day
Really?
Yeah!
Time for the roll call.
Aizawa.
Here.
Akaishi.
Here.
Amami.
Amami?
She's not paying attention.
Are they gonna answer for her again?!
Present.
Greetings.
What the hell?!
You're telling me this is...
The roll-call samurai?
It looks like a normal teddy bear to me.
It is true!
How cute!
Apparently, the spirits are drawn to things I make.
Then, you made this?
Banzai!
Yes. Ogawa-san invited me to the art room one day...
Wow.
Really?
Yeah. Amami-san's been so down lately,
so I wanted to cheer her up.
Hey, you're all right, Ogawa.
And this...
is my creation!
Isn't he cute?
Well?
I-Is "cute" the word?
If not for that...
Why is she into that stuff, anyway?
Who has the guts to ask her?
So, Ogawa-san, what is it with you and rotting corpses?
He asked!
Only Doofus Yamada could pull that off!
Actually...
Dying Whisper
It's because of this manga.
A manga?
That book looks really old.
My dad went to high school here, too.
He just happened to still have this book
that the manga club had made.
I will not die!!
He was cursed with immortality.
What in the...
What did you say?!
In order to reunite with his departed lover,
Give me panties!!
he endured much persecution
to finally arrive at the bridge to heaven.
You're crying?!
Was there something there to cry over?!
Well, he...
He was persecuted just for having rotten flesh! It's not fair!
He had a lover, even though his flesh was rotting away...
Meanwhile, I... I...
I guess there are all kinds of suffering.
What a beautiful story.
But in this scene...
Give me panties!!
This cat looks familiar...
I sure am glad Ogawa's thing is nothing like Amami's, though.
This presence...
What happened?!
Please, you beautiful young lady!
Take me to the bridge to heaven!
I-It's actually moving!
Ogawa, are you okay?!
With pleasure!
It's hopeless! She's enamored!
Ogawa-san!
Did you help her make that thing, too?
I'm sorry.
But who's possessing it?
What if it's an evil spirit?
She could get in an accident...
Or get spirited away to another world!
Or become one of them...
Don't be fooled by that rotten jerk!
Wait for us!
Wait up!
Lovers' spat?
Yay!
Hurry!
Hey, where's the bridge to heaven?
Beneath the light of the sunset, apparently.
What does that mean?
The beam of light that shines during the witching hour.
They call it a bridge in here.
Yay!
Sparkle!
That light there? We've gotta catch them!
So fast!
How incredible you are!
Aw, gosh!
She's annoyed.
Eye for an eye.
Let's have the roll-call samurai handle him!
Hey, maybe...
It'll be like something out of a fairy tale.
Have at thee!
Halt...
We expected too much of a ghost!
Halt...
What should I do?
If he... If he were to...
I just used this tale to my advantage!
If something happens to Ogawa-san...
But then, if he really...
I have lived the same tale. Please, help me!
If he really needs help...
Whee!
Wait!
The difference from one person to the next is intense.
It's getting cloudy.
The bridge of light...
Will that do for a bridge of light?
Thank you, beautiful girl.
Now I can finally go to heaven.
Farewell.
Flump.
Stay with me.
Please, don't die!
Ogawa-san...
Amami-san...
He...
He made it to heaven, right?
Yes.
Definitely.
This was for the best, right?
What're you so enamored with?
Huh?!
How can you tell that thing not to die?!
He's already been dead for ages!
But he was cursed with immortality,
so he wasn't dead, right?
You have a point.
This is so confusing!
That was ridiculous.
Let's go home.
Seriously, it never ends around here.
Wait!
Was the person in the doll
someone involved in making this book?
Who would've thought they'd find the book from back then?
For letting me model for it,
I guess it's not so bad making a dream or two come true—
Good morning.
C-Come on, let's get to class.
Don't let it get you down.
They'll understand eventually.
Right.
This will cheer you up.
Enough of that thing!
Don't get so upset over a bunch of clueless underclassmen.
You've got...
M... M...
Inoue-san?
You've got us!
Yamada brought that upon himself.
Why?
Yep.
Doofus Yamada-senpai, is it time yet?
That's right!
Amami-san, you have visitors.
I... do?
Yeah, they want to take a picture with you.
Ready? Okay!
Weren't they scared of her?
Well, you know how she's been busy with the ghosts lately.
Apparently, they heard about it.
She's actually quite popular with some of the girls.
She's the senpai they can always get a ghost photo out of!
What is she, a ghost photo app?
Isn't that a win for the ghosts, not Amami?
Well, it's a start, right?
I'm so happy I got to take a picture with you!
Let's help people understand Amami-san more and more.
Oh, over there.
Yet another set of bonds created for her by the ghosts.
They might even get to be closer friends to her than we are.
That wouldn't happen!
What?
Would you all like to take a picture with us?
No way!
O-Oh, fine...
Preview
It feels like we just started our second year,
and it's already summer!
Time sure does fly.
I guess I can feel that way because my days with Inoue-san
and all my friends are so fun and fulfilling.
So, I've invited everyone to my house to celebrate the Star Festival...
Next time on Re-Kan!: "My Request."
"My Request."
If I could ask for one thing, I'd...
