Why?
She's failing her classes, so why is she improving?
Why is she getting better than me?
Maya's in a bad mood.
Where are you, holy stones?
I swear I'll get the next one.
What's this?
Could this be...
Maya-chan, it's been a long time.
I thought it was you, Luna. How long have you been there?
For a while now.
But I'm so depressing, I don't stand out much.
Uh, no... Th- That's not true, but...
Maya-chan, you don't have to force yourself to say that.
Maya-chan, I came to offer my support.
Support?
If you get all of the holy stones...
black magic will become more prevalent...
in the Magic Kingdom, right?
So, as a fellow black magic user, I want you to succeed.
I'm sure you can do it, Maya-chan.
Luna...
But maybe you can't now!
Once I say anything, everything that was once going well...
goes bad and stays that way, right? So, now...
You haven't changed a bit.
Do you think I'm depressing?
I know. I am depressing, aren't I?
Like India ink flowing on a moonless night.
Like black paint on a black curtain.
I'm hopelessly depressing to the core, aren't I?
- I - I'm going out. - So dark...
Uh...wait, Maya-chan.
That was fun!
Yeah! Especially when the main character's roller coaster ride...
...roller coaster ride became non-stop!
Hey, you guys are here!
I see you're here, too!
I've been looking forward to this movie for a long time.
Me, too! Me, too!
The scene where the dinosaur comes out of the swamp...
was good, too.
Uh-huh! And the scene where the UFO slams into the wall!
You guys have the same weird opinions as usual.
Yeah.
Oh! Maya-chan!
- Nina... - Orihara-san.
Wow, what a coincidence!
Did you see the movie, too? All by yourself?
Uh, no...
Nina-chan, I'm here too, you know.
Luna-chan! I d - didn't notice you there. I'm sorry.
I'm so depressing I don't stand out much.
Oh, come on. That's not what I meant.
Oh! This is Maya-chan's friend, Luna-chan.
That means she's a witch, too.
I see.
Luna-chan came over to visit, so you're showing her around.
Not really.
Uh...Maya-chan, wait!
Here.
Uh...
Want to go have some tea?
Sure.
Can we stop at a bookstore first?
Let's go, let's go!
While Nina goofs off like she doesn't have a care in the world...
I'll locate the holy stones.
What?
He's won-der-fuI.
The boy who picked up my bag.
You mean Kaji-kun?
His name is Kaji-kun?
His type is rare in the Magic Kingdom.
You know what?
It's my first love!
Ah, I can't control the fluttering in my heart.
Love is so str-ange!
Please, Maya-chan! Help me with my romance.
Why should I?
But you're my friend.
If you don't help me, I feel like I might hate you...
or even curse you.
Do you want me to hate you?
All right, I'll help you.
Thanks. Well, shall we go?
Go where?
I'm going to find out more about him.
Girls want to know more about the object of their affection, right?
Oh, here it is. The book the movie was based on.
Lend it to me when you're done, okay?
Sure.
I didn't know you liked stuff like this.
Yeah. I'm a little interested in old buildings and ruins.
The more I see of him, the more wonderful he is.
Ah, I feel like I might become hopelessly submerged...
in the bottomless bog of love.
That's enough, right? Can we go?
I want to convey my feelings to Kaji-kun.
Should I use a love letter? Or should I tell him directly?
Then the feeling would be mutual!
But will it work out?
I've always had such bad luck, it probably won't work out.
Something really terrible will happen.
Yes...with my luck, he could suddenly...
fall victim to some serious illness.
No way!
Sneezes lead to colds...
and colds are the source of all diseases! Oh, no!
Please have this.
Eek! I'm so embarrassed!
What the...
A sun-dried lizard?
Oh, if you drink that in tea, it's good for colds!
Drink it in tea?
You mean this lizard?
It's not a lizard! It's a plant root called lizard grass.
It still looks gross.
Why did that girl give me this all of a sudden?
I gave him the lizard grass! Now he won't get sick.
Then you're done, right? Let's go home.
But my bad luck just isn't normal.
Even if he escapes the disease...
something terrifying could still happen to him.
Yes! Like he could suddenly have an accident.
No way!
Please have this!
Eek! I'm so embarrassed!
- Hey, that's dangerous! - What the hell?
What the...
A skull?
That's a good luck charm.
You're kidding. You're mixing it up with voodoo stuff.
But why is she giving this to me?
I gave him the good luck charm!
Now Kaji-kun won't have an accident!
Good for you. Now we're going home!
But fate is a dangerous thing.
Something bad might happen to him the moment I relax my guard.
Ah, I'm so worried about Kaji-kun!
Wait!
I told you already.
These are a cold medicine and a good luck charm.
They got to be prank stuff. Common sense will tell you that.
Are you suggesting I have no common sense?
Did I do anything to that girl to make her hate me?
That's impossible.
What if there's poison in that cup?
No way!
Look out!
Oh, no!
Eek! It's so embarrassing!
Hold it!
Why have you been doing all this?
No!
Are you okay?
Kaji-kun is so daring to suddenly grasp my hand like that.
Could it be that the love is mutual?
Will I be happy for the first time in my entire life?
No, that couldn't possibly be it.
Every time anything good has happened...
it's always followed by something twice as bad.
I think I will leave.
You said you were going to help me.
Do you want me to hate you?
A - All right. All right.
Kaji-kun is won-derful.
You shouldn't let it bother you, Kaji-kun.
I don't think she hates you or anything.
It has to be some sort of a misunderstanding.
Ayu-chan and I will ask her why she's doing it, okay?
Yeah, that'd be great.
- See ya! - Yeah, see you later!
That is strange, isn't it? I wonder what Luna-chan is thinking?
Anyway, we got to find her and ask.
No need to look far. She's over there.
- What? - What?
You are?
Yeah. I'm in love with Kaji-kun.
Eek! I actually said it!
But I'm depressing, and I was born with bad luck...
and I'm sure it won't work out like this.
Hey, Nina-chan? Ai-chan?
Her name is Ayu-chan!
Please, would you help my first love succeed?
I'm sorry, Luna-chan. I'm afraid I can't help you.
Huh? Why not?
Because I'm already helping out Ayu-chan.
Nina!
Does that mean you like him, too?
Hey, I'll help you out!
Maya-chan!
Nina, you're not going to beat me!
Maya-chan?
I'll make Kaji's heart a captive to Luna with my black magic!
You'll see!
But what made Maya-chan suddenly act that way?
Maybe she's getting stubborn.
You know, because you got a holy stone ahead of her.
But I don't like this.
If Kaji-kun is magically forced to like her...
It's okay! I won't ever let something like that happen.
I'll protect Kaji-kun from Maya-chan's magic.
Nina...
Oh, yeah! You go on ahead of me and keep watch over his house.
R - Right!
If Maya-chan gets there first, try to stall her until I get there.
Right.
But I don't know if I can.
If they come at me with magic, will I be able to stop them?
Nina-sama, what magic spell do you seek?
I want to protect Kaji-kun from Maya-chan's magic.
That is difficult.
Just hurry up and think of something!
Good. Now I just have to input your data.
Practice!
Well, Maya-chan? Will it work?
Of course. Just throw this into Kaji's room...
- Luna-chan... - and his heart will belong to you.
Wow... That's won-der-fuI.
Unlike me, you're good at magic, so I'm sure it'll succeed.
Still, I have such bad luck, it might not work after all.
What if it doesn't work? What if... What if...
Stop that! It will work!
What spell would work?
I said I was in a hurry!
Oh, I know.
You have gone up a level, so you can use that spell!
Put a handkerchief into the box and input Ayu-san's data.
All right.
Practice!
A necktie?
It is the "Head Over Heels For You Magic Necktie."
That's a weird name.
Please don't make fun of it! If you use that...
Kaji-kun will no longer be able to go near any girl...
- Oops! Whoa! - except Ayu-san.
Wow, that's amazing. Okay!
I look like a stalker or something.
I feel a little pathetic.
Orihara-san!
You're alone. You must have fallen behind, Nina.
Kaji's heart belongs to Luna! Victory is mine!
Belongs to me! Belongs to me!
Don't! Yeah, maybe magic allows you to do anything...
but using it to manipulate somebody's heart is wrong!
That is definitely something only a human would say.
Stop it!
Nina!
Ayu-chan, I'm sorry I'm late!
Give that back!
No way!
Wait!
Damn it!
Nina!
Give it back!
No way!
Give it back, damn it!
What are you doing?
You're in on this too, Tateishi?
Um...it's like this. Er...
Oh! A cat!
Nina's pet cat Rio kind of j - jumped into your yard, and...
Yeah, yeah! That's what happened!
Oh?
Up close he looks even more won-der-ful.
Ah, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful...
H - Hey, Kaji-kun?
There's something I want to give you.
Huh? What is it?
Well...
Blasted Nina... What kind of spell is it?
Ayu-chan, you won't have to worry about him getting taken anymore.
I appreciate the thought...
but using magic to make Kaji-kun like me won't make me happy at all.
Because I would be really sad when the magic wore off.
Oh, yeah. This necktie is the same.
Ultimately, I'm just trying to use magic to manipulate Kaji-kun.
Sakura?
Um... L - Listen...
Here!
It's one of the candies Ayu-chan gave me today. It's really good.
Huh? Oh, thank you.
Nina failed to make a magical item.
Luna, do that thing one more time.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I want to confess my love...
but I'm so depressing, I'm sure it won't work out.
What should I do? Ah, what should I do?
Oh, that's right. Maybe it'll work if I give him a present.
Let's see, um...
Here it is! Something romantic!
Th- Th- This is a token of my affection. Eek! Ba-boom!
It's a love charm that was all the rage a little while back.
You're kidding!
Listen, you...
Yes?
If I've done something to get on your nerves, I want you to tell me.
I'll apologize for it.
It's bothering my friends as well...
so I want you to stop harassing me like this.
Harassing?
That can't be!
W - Wait.
Do you think I was too hard on her?
Huh? I don't think you were, but...
I feel a little bad for Luna-chan.
Hey, pull yourself together.
I guess it's because I'm depressing...and unlucky.
There's no way love would go in my favor.
And he was my first love, too. Probably my love of a lifetime...
Luna...
Are you all right?
Here you go.
He's won-der-fuI.
Pardon?
I know that man is my destiny!
This has to be my true love!
I want out of this friendship.
Hey, Nina? What did you actually try to give to Kaji-kun?
I'm sorry, Ayu-chan.
I came close to using unnecessary magic again.
But I thought that it wouldn't make you happy if I did...
so I decided not to after all.
Really?
What?
Nothing. But you know...
it made me happy that you were trying your best for me.
Really? I'm glad it made you happy.
Nina, you certainly have grown.
Ooh, she's gone a level higher!
All right, all right! Way to go, Nina!

Hey, Ayu-chan! Did you pick out a swimsuit?
In the next episode, we're going to Tsujiai-kun's family's cottage...
that's in a seaside resort!
It's your big chance to be all alone with Kaji-kun!
Yeah. It'll be him and me watching the sunset by the sea.
Ooh, how romantic!
I'll back you up all the way!
Huh? It looks like Maya-chan came along, too. I wonder why.
Episode 15 of Ultramaniac is "Orange Stone."
Please reach his heart?
Practice!
