Ayu-chan Becomes an Idol
Welcome to Miyajima Peninsula Shopping Arcade
Rino, do you feel like stopping by somewhere on the way back?
I saw the place in a magazine...
they supposedly opened up a really good bakery by the train station!
Wow, a bakery? I'll go, I'll go!
You sure know a lot about places where they sell delicious food and cute stuff!
I'm a girl, so it's to be expected!
Well, I guess you've got a point.
Ayu-chan, let's hurry and go eat some cake!
Hm?
Huh?
You right there!
Can I help you?
Do you... want to be a teen idol?
Idol
Do you... want to be a teen idol?
Idol
Do you... want to be a teen idol?
Teen idol?!
Idol
Is she serious?!
That's right! I'm a skilled agent from the biggest talent agency in Japan!
Hikaruko Kenma at your service!
Hikaruko Kenma
Hikaruko Kenma at your service!
The very moment I saw you I knew...
that you have what it takes to become an idol!
Not just an ordinary one, but the super-duper glittery one!
N-No way...
A girl like ME?!
Let's both shoot for the top of the entertainment industry!
You mean Ayu-chan?!
Ayu-chan!
You mean Ayu-chan?!
Sure! I'll do my best!
Immediate Answer!
Immediate answer!
Hey, are you seriously planning to go into show business?
Yup! Doesn't it sound glamorous and fun?
I LOVE stuff like that!
You've got just the right attitude for the business!
I knew I was right!
Why don't we go to my office?
Ayu-chan... Why don't we go to my office?
Ayu-chan... Sure!
Goodbye, Rino...
Goodbye!
Don't leave me, Ayu-chan!
I mean that in so many ways!
Come on, let's go, Rino.
I'm Ayumu Oume, an 8th grader at Miyagami Academy!
My birthday is September 15th, and my blood type is O.
My favorite hobby is baking cakes!
I'm a 14-year-old who loves the idea of falling in love!
Ah, I see... Great work, Kenma!
She certainly seems like a diamond in the rough.
Thank you, President!
President
Thank you, President!
She will debut with her real name and her nickname will be "Ayu-Ayu."
Ayu-Ayu
She will debut with her real name and her nickname will be "Ayu-Ayu."
And also, the tagline for her will be...
My ordinariness
Is Special
And also, the tagline for her will be...
"My ordinariness is special"!
I'd like to market her with that type of image.
You've already planned things so far ahead?
That's my Kenma! Your star is shining!
Thank you, President!
By the way... who is this girl next to Ayu-Ayu?
I'm Rino Rando, Ayu-chan's attendant!
My tagline is "My ordinariness is ordinary"!
My ordinariness
My tagline is "My ordinariness is ordinary"!
Is ordinary!
My tagline is "My ordinariness is ordinary"!
My name is Pucchan, a puppet that's no more and no less.
I see... So you want to be a comedian?
No!
There are a lot of shady talent agencies out there.
I'd like to make sure you guys are legitimate, if you don't mind.
I'm sorry to tell you this, but we specialize only in idols.
We don't deal with comedians.
I'm telling you I'm not interested in that!
Well then, for starters, let's take some headshots!
Our staff is the best of the best!
Hey, wait, Ayu-chan!
What do you think, Rino?
Going for the "gothic lolita" style, huh?
Nice!
Mini skirt and apron, huh?
Nice!
Chinese dress, huh?
Nice!
A school swimsuit with a men's shirt over it...
And knee-high socks as a bonus!
Nice!
Hey, Miss Manager, what's up with those costumes and the settings?
I thought you wanted to sell her as an "ordinary girl."
What do you mean? I think this is very ordinary.
I don't understand the standards of showbiz...
Nice!
Ayu-Ayu, I will polish you!
I'll make you shine so brightly!
And...
You'll become an idol no one can copy!
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!
What?!
You said Oume got scouted by a talent agency?! Is that true?
Yes, it's true.
I saw her get scouted right in front of me.
I went to the talent agency's office with her, too.
She's been spending her days practicing singing and dancing,
and now she looks like that...
They better not be taking advantage of her
by having her apply for a loan to cover her "lessons"
or by forcing her to take any shady jobs.
I didn't see anything like that going on.
Well, I hope that's the case...
Why was Ayumu Oume scouted instead of ME?!
In the all-too-small chest of Kaori lzumi,
the flames of jealousy have begun to burn furiously...
Don't go interpreting my thoughts as you please!
And what do you mean by all-too-small chest?!
I'm sorry...
Huh?
I'll do my best until I become the top idol...
She's pretty serious about it, huh?
Yeah, she's been working really hard at it.
I see...
If she's trying so hard, then we should support her.
Oh well, I guess I'll let her continue with her nap this time.
Izumi...
I will... do my best...
I heard that Rino's classmate, Ayumu Oume has been scouted by a talent agency.
Yes, that's correct.
Are you okay with this, Miss President?
I guess it's all right.
If Ayumu Oume is serious about working in show business, I'd like to support her...
As long as it doesn't interfere with her studying, that is.
Understood. Then we'll overlook this matter.
I'll explain the situation to the teaching staff as well.
If you'll excuse me.
Miss President!
Let's just keep our eyes on her.
It's wonderful to have something you want to do.
I'm going to be late for my lesson! I have to hurry!
Ayumu.
Kotoha...
Are you sure about this?
Are you really sure about it?
Yes!
I see... Then consider this my farewell gift.
Huh?
Kotoha!
Hurry.
Thanks!
Wait!
Wait, Ayu-chan! Ayu-chan!
Rino, hurry up!
Hurry up!
I suppose things will be quite hectic for a while...
Here, Ayu-chan.
What's this?
Mathematics II Good luck!
What's this?
Izumi took notes for you.
She wants you to do your best. She supports you.
Izumi did?
Good luck to you, Ayu-chan!
Yeah. I will do my best!
My ordinariness is Special
What do you think, Ayu-Ayu? This is your debut song!
My debut song...
This is great! You did it, Ayu-chan!
Ayu-Ayu Debut Song
Confidential
You're going to be a lot busier now!
You have lessons, recording sessions,
going around to get acquainted with the media, promotional events
and your much anticipated live debut!
All right! I'll do my best!
Yeah!
At the place where I made a promise with you
I confirmed the first premonition I got
Ayu-Ayu Will Debut Soon!
Wow, they already have a website up for her?
Now it really feels like her debut is right around the corner!
Yes, that's why Ayu-chan is so fired up right now.
Why do they want to make an idol out of such an ordinary girl like her anyway?
I'm a lot cuter, and definitely cut out to be an idol!
Women's jealously can be so ugly.
No kidding.
That's not what it is! Hmph!
Hey, Rino, would you mind asking this Ayumu girl
to introduce me to some male idols once she debuts?
Huh?
Come on, tell her!
You never know... I might be able to get their autographs
Milk
or go to parties with them,
or even date them!
Do you think I'll get to meet Nakasugi from SKIP?!
Ooh! Ooh! I like Satoshi best!
Um... Ooh! Ooh! I like Satoshi best!
What are you talking about? Kiyopon is the best one in SKIP!
What?
I mean... Er, nothing...
Anyway, I think I'll give Oume my full support if there's a bonus like that!
Me, too.
Me. Too.
What a bunch of calculating people!
But at least they're willing to support Ayu-chan, right?
I wonder if she even understands
that getting up in front of people like that could be dangerous...
That may be, but I think that right now she just wants to do what she wants to do.
I'm sure you understand what it's like to feel that way, Kuon.
I do know, and that's why I think she's being foolish.
I hope nothing bad happens.
Urato?
I finally found her, Master.
Ayu-Ayu Will Debut Soon!
I see.
There's only one thing that must be done now.
Understood.
Ayumu Oume
Congratulations on Your Idol Debut Best Student Council
Wh-What is this?
Well, all of us from the Best Student Council decided to support you in your idol debut!
Best Student Council?!
Except, it's support that's backed by certain ulterior motives.
Hello, this is Oume...
Oh, hi, Hikaruko.
I have big news for you, Ayu-Ayu!
Your school is going to give its full support with your live debut performance!
Yes, this is the Best Student Council Ayu-Ayu Live Debut Office!
Hello, Best Student Council Ayu-Ayu Live Debut Office. Yes, this is the Best Student Council Ayu-Ayu Live Debut Office!
Kuon, we've been cleared to use the school gym.
Thank you. We've asked all the class reps to make all the arrangements for the venue
and we also requested that the event promotion department
be in charge of all the press conferences and interviews.
I'm getting kind of excited now!
Everyone, this is our opportunity to show everyone
what the Best Student Council is made of!
Roger!
It's amazing... they did all that...
Good for you, Ayu-chan!
Er, I guess you're now Ayu-Ayu, the idol, right?
Rino...
Who are you?!
That's... No way!
Ayu-chan! Ayu-chan!
That's...
Ayu-chan!
Look at that, Rino!
Huh?
I found you.
Who are you?
He looks just like Ayu-chan! Why?
There's a reason why he looks just like me.
That guy is my twin brother.
What?!
His name is Urato...
Do not say my name with such familiarity, you pathetic rouge ninja!
Rogue Ninja?
"Rogue ninja"?
Not only have you tossed aside your allegiance to our Master,
and sought to have a "normal" life,
but now you want to become an idol?!
Just the thought that I'm biologically related to a woman like that gives me creeps!
I'll show you the end of the those who leave the Oume Ninja Clan!
I, Urato Oume, will!
The Oume Urato Oume
Ninja Clan
Wow! It's a ninja!
Ninja, ninja, up in the smoke!
Ayu-chan, this is great! He's the real deal!
How exactly did you figure that out?
Ayumu!
Why did you leave the Oume Ninja Clan?
I'll at least hear your reason before you meet your doom! Answer!
Isn't it obvious?
I DON'T WANT TO WEAR THAT OUTFIT!
Why? It's cool!
Keep your opinions to yourself!
Urato... I just couldn't go on, just obeying everything the Master said
and carrying out missions in that pathetic outfit!
Because I'm a girl!
I want to do stuff like wear cute clothes, eat delicious cake and chat with my friends!
How could you? And for such stupid reasons?
Those things are important to girls!
Shut up!
Ayumu!
Stop it!
Rino?!
I won't let her get away.
I didn't know you were a ninja, Ayu-chan.
A kunoichi, to be precise.
I had no idea there were still things like ninjas nowadays.
Talking about special abilities...
As far as I'm concerned, you guys are way more special than me!
Well, anyway it all makes sense now.
Just as I thought... You've been a member of the Covert Squad all along!
Covert Squad
Just as I thought... You've been a member of the Covert Squad all along!
Covert Squad Huh?
Guess I'm busted!
Ayumu Oume Comert Squad
Guess I'm busted!
Ayu-chan is a member of the Covert Squad?
That's right.
KAORI IZUMI:
RINO RANDO:
That's right.
You probably don't remember now,
KAORI IZUMI: 12
RINO RANDO:
You probably don't remember now,
but there was this time when you somehow got picked to be class rep
KAORI IZUMI: 12
RINO RANDO: 18
but there was this time when you somehow got picked to be class rep
KAORI IZUMI: 12
RINO RANDO: 18
but there was this time when you somehow got picked to be class rep
right after you came to this school.
That was actually the work of this kunoichi here.
Busted again!
You must have done it at the President's suggestion,
in order to get Rino on the Best Student Council.
Yeah.
Miss Kanade asked me to give you a hand without letting on.
Ayu-chan...
Don't get the wrong idea!
I approached you at first because I was asked to,
but I felt differently about it almost immediately!
Friend
I consider you my friend...
Best Friend
I'm NOT your BEST friend?!
You're right! Best friend!
But why would a person who hates ninjas join the Covert Squad?
I wanted to show my gratitude to Miss Kanade who asked me to come to this school...
Oume, come to Miyagami Academy, and we'll have all kinds of fun.
Is it okay to wear cute clothes?
Yes.
Is it okay to eat cake?
Of course.
My ninja abilities are about all I can offer to repay Miss Kanade.
Ayu-chan, you're so loyal!
So you're, like, destined to remain a ninja, huh?
Don't say that!
Rino!
Urato!
Say your prayers!
What... What? What? What? What?
Amazing...
They've crossed each other seven times in a matter of seconds!
On top of that, every time they crossed, they both swung their swords five times!
They're the real deal. They're REAL ninjas!
I knew this would happen.
But even for me, it would be too difficult to step in and stop them from fighting.
Run, Ayumu... Run!
It ends now!
Ayumu!
Wha...
Enough of your in-fighting!
That hurts!
I don't believe it!
All right! Now, Rino, poke your nose in on their business like you always do!
Okay! Mr. Ninja!
It's Urato!
Oh, that's right... Urato!
Ayu-chan is very close to living out her dream right now!
She's going to debut as an idol!
So please support her!
Like heck I will! She has gone against the Law of the Oume Clan!
She must pay for what she's done...
Who needs "laws" that interfere with people's dreams?!
I wish we could just get rid of stuff like that!
Rino...
Urato, I'm sure you have dreams that you want to realize, too!
So please don't interfere with Ayu-chan's!
Do you want to be an idol that badly?
Yes, I do.
I see... I do have a dream, too.
What is your dream, Urato?
I want to be friends with Yuri Natsume, the magazine model...
Yuri Natsume
I want to be friends with Yuri Natsume, the magazine model...
So that's what you're into...
U-Urato!
I will become an idol!
I'll do my best, work hard, and become famous
and introduce you to Yuri Natsume!
So...
Really?
I will do my best.
Ayumu, you have my support!
Thank you, Urato.
Well, it's a happy ending then, huh?
Yeah.
I-Is this okay with the Oume Ninja Clan?
I'm sure it's not...
Thanks to the full support provided by the Best Student Council,
My ordinariness
Is Special
Thanks to the full support provided by the Best Student Council,
the preparations for Ayu-chan's live debut concert moved ahead at a fast pace.
And the day of the event finally came!
Ri-Ri-Ri-Rino, what do I do? I'm getting so nervous!
Calm down, Ayu-chan.
You'll be just fine if you write the kanji for "people"
on your palm three times and gulp it down!
People People
on your palm three times and gulp it down!
I've done it already...
Is she really going to be okay?
We must make it a success no matter what.
Otherwise, I won't be able to meet Satoshi from SKIP!
Nakasugi, too!
Kiyopon, too!
What are you so nervous for?
Urato?
I came here to cheer you on.
Oh, by the way, I made a good case for this to the Master,
so you go ahead and make your idol debut as you wish.
Thank you, Urato!
Remember: Yuri Natsume!
I promise I'll introduce you to her!
She seems to be a little more relaxed now.
It looks like it's going to be just fine!
Everyone!
Ten minutes till the show starts!
Okay!
Thank goodness I made it!
Hikaruko? Where have you been all this time?
Ayu-Ayu, you're going to love this!
I have a fabulous costume for today's show!
Really?
Tada!
Wh-Wh-What is that?
Can't you tell? It's a ninja costume!
You mean, I'm going to wear THIS?!
That's right! I told you this before, didn't I?
Your tagline is "My ordinariness is special!"
My ordinariness is Special
Your tagline is "My ordinariness is special!"
On an average day Ayu-Ayu is just an ordinary girl.
But the truth is...
My ordinariness is Ninja!
But the truth is...
She really is the descendant of ninja girls!
That's your whole idol concept!
Now put this ninja outfit on and get onstage!
I will polish you!
I will make you shine!
I'm sure you'll make it to the top of the entertainment industry!
N-No...
You can even aim for WORLD domination, too!
No...
Come on!
No...
Come on! Come on!
No! No!
COME ON!
NO!
Hey, Ayu-chan!
Ayu-Ayu!
Ayumu!
No means no!
Ayumu! I thought you were going to introduce me to Yuri Natsume!
Ayu-Ayu, you forgot your ninja outfit!
NO!
Ayu-Ayu!
Ayumu!
Needless to say, they cancelled her debut
after she bailed out right before her first live concert...
For those who showed up for the concert, we presented the play
"Space Creature from Outer Space ALIEN" again,
but it was a bust obviously...
Dead Silence...
but it was a bust obviously...
And after all that, the Best Student Council ended up in the red
after the venue construction fees...
So it was all good or maybe not so good...
It wasn't good at all!
