4/6 "Yes/No"
Make sure you come hungry.
Things we can say now
Spring is in the air, and the season for cherry blossoms has arrived.
The new year once again brings us youth with shining futures.
Isn't it wonderful?
It is not only our duty, but also our joy, to properly bring up these youths, full of hope, who now enter our school.
You called?
Come in.
Um...
Miss Yoshinoya, Give me a word you like.
A word I like?
Yes.
You're young. I'm sure you'll be able to choose a word that will stir the hearts of youth.
Young...
It has to be "love".
Love for the arts, love for the students.
Teaching those cute little kids the joy of creating and drawing is love!
And then there's my love for myself!
Love is wonderful!
I'm wonderful!
Very well, understood. I'll use part of that.

Nah, I'm gonna start now.
I hope they like it.
I'm sure they'll be surprised.
I hope.

"Yes/No"
Hello?
Miss Nori!
Nazuna?
What's up?
I got a letter from the others.
A letter?
To Nazuna and Nori.
Come to Hiro's room today at five.
No tardiness or early starts.
Make sure you come hungry!
From Yuno and Miyako.
"To Nazuna and Nori,"
"You are cordially invited to Yuno's room at 5 P.M. today."
"Bring your appetites."
"By the other residents."
What time is it?
4:40.
Thanks.
I've gotta get ready, mind holding on a sec?
Sure.
I thought I told you that just Nori is fine.
Okay, Nori...
That's fine!
Rm. 203 Nazuna
Rm. 103 Nori
I wonder what they need? It's not like we're that far away.
Right?
Hi!
Sorry to bother-
...you.
Sss mmffllrrr eeenbuh srbssnnes.
She says, "it's my fault for eating the strawberries."
Congratulations Freshmen
Welcome to Hidamari Apartments!
Cheers!
Hey Sae, why don't you start with an explanation of what Hidamari Apartments is!
Eh?
You know, the one you gave us last year.
Sure.
Um... Hidamari Apartments is a small apartment building right in front of Yamabuki High.
It's famous for housing a collection of weirdos from the art department.
But they've all graduated! We're normal now!
Former occupant of Rm. 201
All right, freshmen! Eat all you want!
You're talking pretty big.
Who was it again that ate all the strawberries?
It's tasty.
You made it yourselves, didn't you?
Yeah, we all chipped in.
Sorry to make you go through all the trouble.
Yffh, srruh.
Miya, you helped out.
Did someone do this for you, too?
A welcoming party? Yeah!
What was it like last year?
Miya took it like a challenge.
To Yuno and Miyako, come to Hiro's room today at five.
No tardiness or early starts.
By Sae and Hiro.
It was written so bravely that I was sure!
Really?
We got one, too. It seems like it's a tradition.
I'm so happy! Thanks!
Don't want to rush you or anything, but...
Tadah! Behold, Miyako's special talk die!
Introduce Yourself
You make conversation to match what comes up!
All right, I'll show you how!
Introduce Yourself
Do you like hamburgers?
Yes!
What's up with that side of the die?
All right, now one of you try it.
Me?
Go right ahead.
Okay.
Jackpot
You hit the jackpot! Congratulations!
Jack pot
Here!
Jack pot
How luxurious, bitter and sweet at the same time.
Oh, you!
All right, Nori, you're next.
Oh, thanks.
Hobbies
Hobbies? Hmm, my hobbies...
Lately I've been into computers.
CG and HTML, and a bit of Flash.
I'm broke, so I download a lot of freeware.
Lately...
Broke...
Huh?
Oh, that's right, you didn't have a net connection here until I came.
Sorry for not understanding you.
Thanks for bringing us enlightenment!
But I'm a bit disappointed I couldn't get a fiber optic line here.
I was so looking forward to it that it feels slow.
Like the Kodama?
You go next, Yuno.
Okay.
Nazuna asks us a question
You mean I have to?
Yeah!
Well, um...
Why do you draw?
Why? That's pretty deep.
Yuno, you rolled, you go first.
Why... do I draw...
Why... Why...
Why...
Hey, Yuno!
Maybe you have another question?
Sorry! Um, umm, is school fun?
Yeah, it's fun.
The work is interesting.
The atmosphere there is peaceful.
There's this one really fun teacher.
She's always wearing weird clothes.
She's got a great rack, and likes to strip.
Huh?
It's already nine!
Shall we wind things down?
You guys have your entrance ceremony tomorrow.
Sure!
Thanks, it was great.
You could have just left it on the table.
Um... Yuno, mind if I ask you another question?
Isn't living alone lonely?
Not at all.
Thanks! Goodnight!
Thanks!
Goodnight!
I think we flustered them a bit.
Yeah.
We didn't get to talk that much.
Don't worry, we have all the time in the world.
Yeah. Anyway, let's start round two!
Introduce yourself
Things we can talk about now
Just us!?
Wow, it's already this late?
We overslept.
It's because we went to bed so late.
Yeah.
When I was little, I used to be able to get up bright and early even when I stayed up all night.
I can't believe you used to do radio gymnastics.
'Morning. I'm hungry.
Good morning, Miya.
Are we gonna do radio gymnastics? That'll just make me more hungry.
Sorry to bother you!
Big news, everyone!
Oh no.
If we don't get going to the entrance ceremony...
No, I just came back from that.
Oh, sorry.
Hiro...
So, what's up?
Nazuna!
She's in Gen Ed!?
I live around here, so I got into Yamabuki's Gen Ed program because I wanted somewhere close.
After that, Dad got transferred.
He's not really good at taking care of himself, so Mom went along.
I can't do anything, either.
I can't cook, and I'm bad at cleaning.
I'm no good at drawing, and I don't have any skills or hobbies.
They didn't seem like that.
Come on, what are you worrying about!?
There are plenty of things that you're good at.
Nori...
I don't know what they are yet, though.
How honest...
So she's in Gen Ed.
I guess that's what she meant by "why do you draw?"
I wonder why none of us realized?
Because no one asked?
I guess. I just figured anyone coming here would be in the arts department.
Yeah, it is pretty rare. Maybe it's a first for Hidamari?
I wonder if she'll be okay living alone all of a sudden?
Yeah, wasn't she expecting to live at home?
I feel sorry for her after hearing how it happened.
It'll be fine, she'll get used to it.
I hope so.
I should ask where she gets her hair done!
What, the braiding?
Yeah. I like the cut, too.
She lived nearby, so probably the place right by the station.
You mean Olive?
Olive? That brings back memories.
When did we go there, Miya?
It must have been when I tried barbecuing. That was...
Last summer!
April 6th~April 7th The end To be continued

"Olive"
Miya!
Miya! What's wrong? Are you okay!?
Sorry, I'm fine.
I tried to barbecue over the burner, and it got a little crispy.
Now the meat's all charred...
Fire!
Oh man, it's scorched...
You're lucky you didn't get burnt.
Hey, Miya, let's go to a salon.
I'd been thinking about going for a while anyway.
A salon, huh?
Lately I've just been having my older brother do it.
Your older brother is a friseur?
No, he's a gardener.
A tree!?
My favorite salon?
How about Olive? It's right by the station.
Olive?
Sae and I always go there.
Hold on, they gave me half-off coupons for new customers.
Thanks.
Sorry, could you hold on a little longer?
Um... Hmmm...
Hiro, aren't those all point cards?
You're such a housewife.
There they are! Here you go.
Thanks.
I'm grateful.
Wow, what a cute shop.
It's so tidy.
Welcome!
twintwintwintwintwintwintwintwintwintwintwintwintwintwintwintwintwintwintwintwin
Wow, it's cool.
It's bringing me back to life.
Aren't twin hairdressers unusual?
Sorry we surprised you.
No, it's wonderful.
This place is so cute.
The name "Olive" is great, too.
We got its name from ours.
From your names?
So you're Ollie...
And you're Boo?
Our family name is Oribe.
Ori
be
I'm so sorry.
Don't worry.
All right, I'm taking these off.
Okay.
Are you just in for a cut? How would you like it?
I'm fine with the length, just even it out.
I know! Make me look grown up!
That's gonna be tough.
What kind of cut would you like?
Make me a classical beauty.
Now how am I supposed to...
All right, we'll start with a shampoo and a treatment.
Okay.
Sorry, is it too hot?
No, it just tickles. Right, Miya?
What's she doing?
She's a bit ticklish.
All right, let's start cutting.
Do your best!
First, I'm going to raise the chair.
Me too.
Wow, this is fun.
I haven't worn a poncho like this is a while.
I'm like a teruteru bouzu.
Wow, you're so good.
Thanks. Shall I thin it a little at the back?
Yeah.
Did you want to suki, too?
Yes.
Do you usually suki?
Yes, all the time.
How much do you want to suki?
A lot. I'm starving.
Starving...?
All right, I'm starting the dryer. If it gets too hot, just say something.
Okay!
Miya! What did you do?
What? My hair's just like this.
When it gets a rinse and some treatment, it does this.
You should buy those more often! You're great!
All right, it's done.
Thanks.
Yuno, I'll be waiting.
Okay.
The sun's setting.
Ah, sorry.
Shall I shut the blinds?
No, I'm fine.
All done!
Do you like it?
Yeah, thanks.
Want to take a look at the back, too?
Sure.
Thank you!
Please come again.
Wow, Miya, you're completely different!
What did you do, get a straightener?
No, just a treatment.
Huh?
It's nice that way. Maybe I should get a straight perm next time, too?
I'm sure a lot of people are jealous of curly hair like yours.
But you look so mature.
Yeah.
It'll be back to normal in a few days.
Um...
Do I also look more mature?
Sure...
Wow, it smells like a salon in here.
Really?
Yeah. It's a nice smell that salons have.
I should go sometime soon, too.
I'm a bit worried about how long it's gotten...
Why not have me cut it?
I think I can do it.
Knock it off! You're talking about someone's head here!
Then how about me?
You too, Yuno?
Guess I can get away with not washing my hair today.
It still smells like a salon.
I'm a bit more mature, right?
Right?

Good morning!
I can't wait to teach you this year, too!
So you freshmen already know all about Yamabuki?
Not yet.
Me too. There's still plenty I don't know.
These are your new seating
assign- ments.
The Seven Wonders of Yamabuki High.
There's a forbidden classroom!
You mean the one the new students disappeared from?
Really!?

Just kidding.
