Nothing less from Kona-chan! Amazing!
You're so good at sports.
Why don't you join any of the athletic teams?
Because if I join any of the teams,
I won't be able to watch any of the prime-time anime shows.
The Girl Who Dashes Off
Hey, Tsukasa, which end of a choco-cornet do you eat first?
From the head end first, right?
I see...
By the way, which end is the head?
The fatter end, or the thinner end?
I think this end, the thin side, is the head.
I see... I thought that the fatter end was the head.
So, why is the thinner end the head?
I mean, doesn't this look like a type of seashell?
Why do you think it's the fatter end, Kona-chan?
'Cause it looks like a caterpillar.
A caterpillar?
Well, but when you think about it, the seashell gives a better image.
Um...
You can also tear the thin end off,
and dip it in the extra chocolate cream on the fatter end.
I get it!
Nothing less from Miyuki-san! You're so smart!
No... Each person has their own way of eating, so...
How do you eat a cream puff?
A cream puff?
Let's see... I start off by
splitting it into two, taking the lid,
and dipping it into the cream in the pot area.
Then, after that, I start eating the pot area.
That way, no cream spurts out,
and I can eat both the pastry and the cream in a balanced way.
There are some that have both custard and whipped cream, right?
How do you eat those? Do you mix them?
No, I don't go out of my way to mix the two.
Wait, how exactly would you mix them together?
No, I was just asking.
When do you eat the strawberry on top of a strawberry shortcake,
or the chestnut on top of a mont-blanc?
Let's see...
That depends on the amount of strawberries
that are sandwiched between the two layers of sponge cake.
I try to think about the pace in which I eat the strawberries,
the whipped cream, and the sponge cake.
So the timing in which I eat the strawberry on top always differs.
That's well thought out.
I always save it for last,
but sometimes, I get so full that I can't eat it after all,
or someone in my family takes it away from me.
You have to eat your favorite food at the beginning, after all.
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen
my big sister having her strawberry taken from her.
That's Kagami for you. Doesn't leave herself open.
Can you eat the last bite on a popsicle without dropping it?
Does it drop?
When you don't eat it right...
It drops off, doesn't it?
Yes.
How do you go about it, Kona-chan?
I lick it up to the end.
Wow...
Why not keep turning it around while you eat, like this?
Oh, that sounds like a good idea.
I'm not really one for soft-serve ice cream.
Why not?
I dislike being left with just the cone in the end.
Right, right! You always have just the cone left in the end!
I always try to push the ice cream
further and further into the cone as I eat.
How do you push it down?
As I eat, like, with a push and shove.
A push and shove, is it...
Yuki-chan, you're always concerned about balance, aren't you?
I suppose so.
Then how do you eat curried rice?
Do you mix the curry roux with the rice when you eat?
No, I don't mix the two,
but I always try to have an equal amount left.
I mix them up.
What about you, Kona-chan?
It depends on the curry.
When I pour on some sauce, or drop a raw egg on it,
I tend to mix it up, I guess.
Sauce? On curry?
Yeah. It's tasty.
Do you use sauce on fried eggs too?
No, it's soy sauce for fried eggs.
I see... I use mayonnaise.
On fried eggs? Not hard-boiled eggs?
Yeah. Mayonnaise goes well with basically every egg dish.
You put it on curry too?
Yeah.
Of course, I do on plain white rice too, but also on beef bowls.
It goes well with that sweet broth.
It's also good on chicken and egg bowls.
You know how egg and chicken are child and parent, right?
So, I put some mayonnaise that's made from eggs on it,
and call it the Relative Bowl.
That, and I used to hate natto beans,
but I can eat them when I put mayonnaise on them.
Ew, I can't even imagine that.
Oh, but the tastiest thing must be
when you put mayonnaise on soft-boiled eggs.
In our house, even the fried eggs are half cooked.
That's how my dad likes it.
I guess he likes sucking on the yolk.
So if you fry the yolk too much, he can't suck it out anymore.
How do you eat chicken skewers?
What do you mean, how?
Do you eat it right off the skewer?
Or do you take the meat off the skewer with chopsticks?
Let's see.
When I eat the entire skewer by myself,
I'll eat it as is,
but when I'm eating in a crowd, I separate it from the skewer.
Oh, yeah, don't you feel awkward when one last morsel is left?
Yes. The very last piece is very difficult to put your hands on.
And with nobody eating it, time passes,
and it gets all dry and obviously not so tasty looking,
and nobody really wants it anymore.
But when the server tries to take the plate away,
you say, "Oh, we're still eating that," and stuff.
And yet, we sometimes go home without eating it after all.
It's such a waste.
I feel sorry for it...
Oh, you know, I also feel sorry for
that one piece of meat that's left on the grill
and turns into charcoal when you go for Korean barbecue.
Well, with Korean barbecue,
you're always eating and chatting at the same time,
so you end up pretty busy.
Salted beef tongue with green onions roasts really quickly,
so it's especially hurried.
You're right. It's already done by the time you flip it over once.
You flip it over?
Salted tongue with green onions?
- Yeah.
- You shouldn't flip those over! - Yeah.
- You shouldn't flip those over!
Is that so?
I mean, when you flip it over,
all the green onions on top fall into the grill!
Oh, you're right.
You don't need to flip it over.
You just roast one side,
and enough heat is distributed over the meat naturally.
I see. I'll do that from now on.
You absolutely, positively shouldn't flip it over.
Is that so?
Yeah.
No kidding...
Anyway, the fatter end and the thinner end,
which end is the head of a choco-cornet?
Confined for Two Months
A mega bad boy!
There sure are a lot of confinement crimes lately.
Like, having a girl call you "Master" and stuff.
You know, isn't that more because of guys playing
too may dating sims and erotic games, rather than just moral degeneration?
That's a really common situation.
You're really talking about yourself!
Wait a second. Why do you know what goes on in those adult games?
You're in eleventh grade, right?
Lucky Star!
First Trimester Midterm Results 3rd: Miyuki Takara
You're amazing, always at the top of your class.
Miyuki-san, do you have any faults at all?
I am embarrassed to say, but sometimes,
I tend to think things out too much, or just plain space out.
- Sometimes I slice my finger using a vegetable slicer,
- Ouch! - Sometimes I slice my finger using a vegetable slicer,
- Ouch! - or trip over my own feet and fall down,
or get one end of my tote bag caught in the train door.
Miyuki-san, you don't call those faults. You call them "moe points".
- Moe?
- Clumsiness is your element? - Moe?
- Clumsiness is your element?
What kind of images are running in your head right now, Kona-chan?!
Miyuki-san, you're attractive enough. Why do you wear glasses?
You can only target a certain breed of people like that, you know?
Target?
Putting aside whether she's popular with guys,
why don't you switch to contacts?
I hear that eyeglasses tend to make your vision worse.
Well, it's embarrassing to say now that we're in high school and all,
but, well, I...
I'm afraid of contact lenses!
Or rather, I'm scared of putting anything into my eyes.
I can't even open my eyes underwater.
Damn, she's really cute. A natural airhead...
Oh, isn't that Miyuki-san?
Yoshimizu Optometrist
Maybe she came to get an eye exam for contacts?
Maybe Miyuki-san is better off like that forever.
That looks painful...
She's a living national monument.
Kagami's sick at home with a cold today?
Yeah. At least it doesn't seem like she's got the flu.
I'm an idiot, so I have no worries about catching the flu and stuff.
I hear that about a cold often enough,
but that works for the flu too?
Colds and the flu are different things?
I thought the flu was just the deluxe version of a cold.
I think it's different...
But when you ask me like that, I'm not really so sure myself anymore.
The difference between influenza and a cold?
Yup, yup.
Well, let's see.
Influenza is viral,
and has many full-body symptoms such as fever and muscle aches,
and furthermore can have complications.
On the other hand, a cold is mainly
inflammation of the throat and a runny nose,
and your fever doesn't end up that high.
The detailed symptoms are different as well.
Hmm...
So these two are different illnesses.
Really...
But...
Well, there are a lot of common aspects as well,
so you could still say the flu is a scaled-up model of a cold.
I see!
Kona-chan, what's with that serious look on your face?
Well, it's nothing big,
but something's been on my mind about this morning's conversation.
You mean about the cold and the flu?
Tsukasa, you didn't deny it even once when I said I was an idiot.
It's not like that! That's not what I meant...
Oh, welcome, Konata.
She came by to visit Sis.
Oh, thank you for coming all the way out.
No problem. Excuse me!
Heh, Kagami's face is unexpectedly cute when she's asleep.
- What?! What are you doing here?! Go home!
- Oh, she's up, she's awake. - What?! What are you doing here?! Go home!
A visit? You? All the way out here just for me?
That's right.
But I'd feel bad if you caught what I have,
so I'll just take the sentiments.
What's with this? It makes me happy.
A new type of virus is going around, so she's worried about me?
I thought that the only things she thinks about were games and anime.
I'm kind of touched now.
Well, I'd like to copy that homework we got the other day.
That, and you showed me a really cute sleeping face,
so don't worry about it.
Go home!
Kagami, Miyuki is here to visit you!
Okay...
Excuse me.
Oh, I'm sorry to trouble you on a holiday.
Is it all right for you to be up?
- I brought this as a get-well gift.
- Thanks! - I brought this as a get-well gift.
I'm almost completely well.
I took some medicine, so my fever is down too.
Here.
Flowers and fruit! I'm so happy!
Oh, do sit down.
Thank you so much.
I had thought of visiting right away with Izumi-san,
but I couldn't find the time to do so yesterday...
It's all right, it's fine.
I was entrusted with the committee meeting minutes.
Oh, thank you!
If you can take a look at it,
though not so much as to worsen your condition...
Sure.
That, and these are the budget requests for each club...
And what else did I have... Let's see...
Oh, if you're not feeling well right now, I'll go home now.
This is what a visit really should be like!
Had something happened?
Actually, Konata came by yesterday...
Oh, brother.
Perhaps that was Izumi-san's way of caring for you?
About the homework, perhaps she was goofing around
in an effort to cheer you up, Kagami-san.
And your sleeping face might have been an inevitable result
of trying not to make noise.
Is this girl a saint or something?!
I can't think of it that way at all!
Come to think of it, is Tsukasa-san out today?
Morning...
Sis, are you feeling any better?
See for yourself. She lives a more relaxed life than the ill.
Well, I'm not always like this.
Today, it's like that "One sleeps late in the spring" thing.
Oh, it's a little late to say this, but welcome.
I know how that is.
I have trouble waking up in the morning myself lately.
Isn't that it? I'm so sleepy lately...
That's true. It's especially warm out today.
Yeah, yeah. Like that.
You can't help it.
The holiday we had the other day was really warm too, right?
Yes.
When I woke up, it was already dusk.
I spent most of the day asleep.
It's better to rest when you can.
In the end, I spent that entire day in my pajamas.
Oh, I guess the same goes for today.
Is what you have on right now your pajamas?
Yeah, it is.
That is very cute! They don't look like pajamas at all!
Really?
Yes.
Is it all right for me to stay in this outfit?
Yes. I think you could walk around outside like that.
- Maybe I can head to the convenience store like this?
- Man, it's an endless wait for the punch line... - Maybe I can head to the convenience store like this?
- Man, it's an endless wait for the punch line... - Yes, I think it would probably be all right...
Nurse's Office
A slight increase...
No, that's not it!
The bra I'm wearing today has underwires and a large pad in it,
so I'm heavier by that much!
Right, that's it. I wonder how much it is in grams?
If I can subtract that much...
Nurse's Office
It's over...
I screwed up!
I forgot that the physical exam was today,
so I wore character-print underwear today!
I'm so embarrassed!
Nurse's Office
I haven't grown!
Dammit! Why are you the only one looking confident?!
S'up? I'm here.
Oh, Sis.
Just a thought...
Kagami, you come here to hang out a lot.
Don't you have friends in your class?
Don't put me in the same boat as you.
Are you picking a fight with me?
What, I thought that you were shunned by your classmates.
Before you worry about others,
why don't you worry about yourself? You have zero social skills!
I have no worries about that.
I may look like this, but I have about a hundred friends,
and my social and bargaining skills are pretty high,
and I join a party every night.
With my allies, I work to bring back the glimmer in crystals
to prevent the world from falling to ruin,
and rescue the kidnapped princess...
Wait, you're talking about a game!
I haven't seen that guy around for a while...
- Who?
- She's talking about one of her game buddies, I'm sure. - Who?
- She's talking about one of her game buddies, I'm sure.
Yeah. He was a soldier-type character,
but he wanted to raise his combat skills,
and he left saying he was going to train
in an area with a lot of monsters...
And he hasn't come back since.
I heard he's camping out in the underground nest.
But I wonder if he's all right, acting all hermit-like?
Everyone's getting pretty worried.
A hermit inside a game?
I don't know the details, but from the login info,
it looks like he's been playing the game nonstop.
A hermit, both in real life and in virtual life!
Well, it's the same guy doing it, so...
By the way, how did you two get to know each other, Tsukasa, Konata?
Tsukasa was about to be taken away by some suspicious big foreign guy,
and just then I arrived on the scene in the nick of time!
And I used my strong moves, the front punch and the whirlwind kick,
ever so gracefully to rescue her!
Why does she end up talking about games in every conversation?
Well, actually, I just showed my skills as a martial artist.
I don't approve of starting off with violence,
but that's one of your good points, I guess.
Actually, the foreigner was just asking for directions,
but I didn't understand what he was saying at all,
and was troubled when Kona-chan came by...
Wait, that's no good at all!
Why are you acting like you won the battle?!
The time has finally come again...
Is something going on?
Well, pro baseball season has started.
Kona-chan, you don't like watching sports and stuff?
You seem to be good with anything athletic.
I thought you'd be the type that would like watching that stuff.
But when extra innings delay all the following programs,
it throws off the recording times for all the late-night anime,
and at worst, the broadcast itself gets cancelled.
It sucks to have something you like disappear.
Kagami, when do you eat the strawberry
on top of a strawberry shortcake?
- Why?
- I was wondering if you were the type - Why?
- I was wondering if you were the type
that saves your favorites until the end.
It's true that I eat my favorite stuff last,
but when it comes to strawberries, it depends.
Then do you roast both sides of salted tongue with green onions?
Salted tongue with green onions?
They roast very quickly to begin with,
but when you roast both sides, it gets done even faster.
You shouldn't! The green onions will fall off.
I thought you put the green onions on top after the meat's all roasted!
If you do that, the green onions don't get roasted at all.
Aren't the green onions acting as a condiment in the first place?
You don't get it at all...
Well, maybe both ways are all right.
Which side of a choco-cornet do you think is the head,
the fatter end, or the thinner end?
The fatter end?
You're agreeing with me.
Seriously?
Then which end do you eat first?
Aren't you supposed to tear off the thinner end,
and dip it in the leftover chocolate cream in the fatter end?
Really...
Yeah.
Have you ever made friends in real life other than us?
I used to have a really good friend back in junior high.
Oh, you actually had one.
I haven't contacted her in a while...
I wonder what she's been up to lately?
She had written in the junior high graduation literature book
that her dream was to become a Mage...
In the end, birds of a feather are flocking together?!
Lucky Star!
Lucky Channel!
Morning Luckies!
Now Lucky Channel has finally begun!
We're on TV now! All right!
Hello to all the people seeing me for the first time on TV!
I'm Akira Kogami, your navigator!
Oh... and I'm Shiraishi.
Who?
A joke! Just kidding!
This is Minoru Shiraishi-san, who will be helping me out from now on!
Ta-da-da-da!
Oh, well, I am Minoru Shiraishi,
and I will be the assistant for Akira-sama...
Nice to see you.
Oh? You're a bit tense, Shiraishi-san?
Come on, you're finally on TV now,
loosen up a bit more! Just kidding!
I'm sorry, I'm just not used to this.
Now, I know this is early, but we already have
letters of congratulation from our viewers!
Oh, yes... well...
A letter from "I Love Berry-Kou" in Osaka.
Congratulations on the TV debut of Lucky Channel!
That's a thank you!
By the way, I have a question for Akira.
Akira, you're recognized as a super-idol by yourself and others,
but how much money does an idol earn?
Please tell me.
How much money?
Yes.
Kind of a personal question here.
You know... What's the point of asking me something like that?
Akira-sama?
Well, if you want to know, I'll tell you.
Honestly, it really depends.
There are some events that are really cheap,
but since I'm still getting a set amount from my production company,
I don't know how much they're deducting for company profit at all.
On top of that, I've been in this business since I was three,
so all my earnings still get deposited into my parents' bank account.
I only get a small allowance from them. And it's really small.
Hey, come to think of it,
Mama's been buying pricey brand-name bags left and right lately.
Maybe that was the money I earned from this TV show?
You're freakin' kidding me!
- Am I Cinderella or something?!
- Wait a minute! - Am I Cinderella or something?!
- Wait a minute! - Just because Dad stopped sending
- living expenses ever since they got separated,
- Well, uh, you really don't need to go that far in describing... - living expenses ever since they got separated,
- Well, uh, you really don't need to go that far in describing... - she shouldn't be totally relying on me for money!
Oh, no, it's time for us to say goodbye!
Akira's so lonely!
And so, in this segment,
please send all sorts of questions and praise to me,
as well as opinions you have about the show as a whole!
A word from you as well, Shiraishi-san, please!
Oh... then, I hope you will see us again in the next episode.
See ya!
That's right... Are you serious about getting a part in the main show?
Oh, where did you hear about that?
Going to karaoke with four people is unusual.
I hardly ever come to places like this.
Come on, we only have two hours, so all of you, sing up a ton!
You don't have to be so enthusiastic.
We have plenty of time!
You know, this makes my heart race.
It's so much fun.
And when you sing, you end up with such a clear conscience...
Hey, where's the catalog?
- Catalog?
- Yeah, the catalog. - Catalog?
- Yeah, the catalog.
The catalog?
You know, the one that lists all the song numbers.
Oh, you mean this? Here.
Then I'll go first!
That was fast... Wait, you already entered three songs?!
It's such a waste of time if you don't put in tons of songs!
Test, test, test.
What song is this?
Space Iron-Men Kyoudain!
You just have to start off with this one!
I don't know this one...
Da da dadadada on planet Dada I don't know this one...
Da da dadadada on planet Dada Go for it, Kona-chan!
Da da dadadada on planet Dada Konata, that's too loud!
A robot army to take over the Earth Konata, that's too loud!
A robot army to take over the Earth
I'm telling you, turn down the volume!
Fly, fly, Skybill the older brother I'm telling you, turn down the volume!
Fly, fly, Skybill the older brother
How the hell does she know a song like this?
Fly, fly, Skybill the older brother
Run, Granzel the younger brother
Metal arm scrums against another arm
Sparks of giant galaxies flash
Go, go, jet! Go, go, car!
Space Iron-Men Kyoudain!

Now, what's with the next episode of Lucky Star?
Konata here! Sleepy!
Why is it that on the nights that you slept so much,
you're especially sleepy in the morning?
It kinda defeats the purpose of getting a good night's sleep.
Next episode: Efforts and Results!
Efforts and Results
Look forward to it!
