My solo debut was set to be at the school I attended.
Not just any school, but the rowdiest school in the country...
Shishiku Private Academy
At Shishiku Academy.
Kenka Bancho
Otome
It was a totally transparent attempt to generate buzz.
But I didn't really care.
Right... that's how I felt, at the time.
And if it wasn't for who I met,
I probably still would.
#6 "The Idol Punk Arrives!"
What the...
Where have I seen him before?
Come on, girls, you can't follow me to school.
It's the guy from the poster!
What's up? Are you one of my fans, too?
Want an autograph?
N-No thanks!
But what are you doing here?
You mean you don't know?
I'm a second year in the Cherry Blossom Class here at Shishiku Academy...
2nd Year Cherry Blossom Class Yuta Mirako
Yuta Mirako.
You're quite a cutie.
Your earnestness makes you seem naïve. It's like I want to take care of you.
I think you might be my type.
I'm a boy!
Huh. True enough, you're wearing a Shishiku uniform.
But that's weird...
Me, mistake a guy for a girl?
I mean, look at how slender your wrists are.
I-I get that a lot.
It's true I'm pretty short, and not very well-built...
But I assure you, I'm a guy.
Well, I'm going to be dropping by school for a bit,
so I'll be looking for you.
For a while?
Exactly.
Maybe next time I can be really thorough...
And then I'll know for sure whether you're a boy or not.
Hey, could you give it a rest, man?
You're bothering Hikaru.
Hands off already.
He might be mild-mannered, but he's the top first-year.
Either give him some space,
or we're going to have a problem.
Top of the first-years, huh?
And who are you two supposed to be?
We're Hikaru's bros.
Bros?
What a load of crap. Seriously...
I see the first-years don't amount to much.
Rintaro. It's been a while.
Didn't think you'd be the one to call on me.
That's new.
Stop messing with the first-years.
Oh, you saw that, huh?
Well, he's an interesting one, isn't he?
Almost like a girl.
Or maybe...
Whoa there, no need for the scary look.
I won't do anything.
He's got a pair of pains in the ass calling themselves his bros, after all.
You haven't changed at all.
Not a bit.
Still torn up over ancient history.
Hey, did you hear about this?
No Smoking
The guy at the top of the second-years besides Kira, Mirako,
is gonna perform a solo concert here at the school.
Hell yeah, I did.
A punk and an idol? Dude keeps busy.
I heard Mirako was messing with the top first-year, Hikaru Onigashima.
Yeah... guess it's coming soon.
A power play!
But that's weird...
Me, mistake a guy for a girl?
Are you actually...
...Hikaru Onigashima?
Yeah, definitely looks like a girl to me.
And this is the top first-year? Seriously?
Mirako-senpai?!
No need to shout. I hear you.
Good morning, Hikaru-chan.
G-Good morning...
Wait, no!
Could you get away, please?
Yeah, yeah...
We're both guys. What's the big deal?
Or maybe you really are a girl?
You're one of the top second-years, aren't you, Mirako-senpai?
In that case, please fight me.
You'll see whether I'm a girl or not, then.
I see.
Well, your punch is the real deal, at least.
Are you going to be okay without your little friends, though?
My friends have nothing to do with this.
You're right, they don't.
Friends just end up betraying you when you need them, anyway.
What is it about them that bothers you?
You...
That's like something Rintaro would say.
Rintaro?
Damn it... Everybody thinks they know everything.
It's been six months and nine days since I came to Shishiku.
