That's unusual.
Even the president isn't here.
There.
What are you doing,
Colette-san?
Oh, it's Uchimaki-senpai.
This Art Club Has a Problem!
Where Is the Thing I'm Looking For?
Art Club
What am I doing?
Isn't it obvious?
Not at all.
This girl is Colette-chan, a first-year.
She's from abroad, as her name suggests.
She came to Japan as a child, when her parents moved here for work,
six or seven years ago now.
Her parents moved back home half a year ago,
but Colette-chan's gotten used to living here,
so she decided to stay in Japan.
I see.
You were looking for a locket that you lost.
Yup.
It didn't look like you were.
Aww, don't mention it!
That wasn't a compliment.
Would you help me look for it, Uchimaki-senpai?
There's a really, really,
really precious photo inside!
A precious photo, huh?
Colette, your mom and I are going back home.
You won't be lonely by yourself, will you?
It's okay.
As long as I have this photo,
you'll always be with me.
Colette...
All right.
Let's look for it.
What kind of locket is it?
The kind that can't fly!
I know that.
Well, let's go check out the lost and found first.
Okay!
Let's make a great nation, Kamakura Shogunate!
You know your stuff.
Amazing, right?
It's Koyama-sensei!
Hello.
Nice to see you two getting along.
Rock Club Dive into our world!
Colette-san, your locket.
Oh, right!
Lost and Found
Wow...
There's all kinds of stuff here.
There is.
Hey, Senpai, isn't this Usami-senpai's?
Oh, you're right.
Losing her stuff...
Usami-senpai's such a klutz, huh?
Right...
But I guess the locket isn't here.
We'll have to look everywhere we can.
Do you remember where you've been today?
Let's see... I came to school,
then I flew a kite on the rooftop.
Then a teacher found me and scolded me,
and I got taken to the student guidance office.
And then...
What were you thinking?
Oh, but I noticed my locket was missing yesterday.
Really?
Then tell me where you went yesterday.
Let's see...
What are you going to do with all this knowledge of my activities?
Want me to stop helping?
Hey, Uchimaki-kun and Cole-chan.
Usami-senpai!
What's up? Lost something?
Yes.
Senpai!
Here!
You found it for me?
Thanks, Cole-chan.
I see...
Your locket, huh?
Yes.
Sorry, I'd like to help you,
but I still have to finish my duties for today.
Okay.
Oh, that's right...
I found this in the hallway.
Isn't that the president's?
Yeah.
Can you give it to him when he shows up?
See you.
Okay!
The hairpin turned into prayer beads.
It's like the Straw Millionaire.
Straw...?
Straw Millionaire.
Each time he traded his belongings with people he ran into,
he ended up with something better.
Ultimately, he ends up with huge riches.
Wow!
The hairpin turned into prayer beads,
so maybe the president has the locket.
Positive thinking!
Yup.
Opportunistic thinking!
What?
Huh? Where'd that come from?
Usami-san found it.
Oh, yeah?
I'll have to thank her later.
What, Colette?
Give it to me, please!
Give you what?
My locket. You have it, don't you?
What?
Straw...
The Straw City Mayor!
Cho-san
I'm the Straw City mayor, Cho-san.
Who the heck is that?
Sorry, I haven't seen it.
D'oh
For a club president, you sure are useless.
Being president has nothing to do with it.
What am I going to do?
Don't ask me.
I still think we just have to look everywhere we can.
If I still haven't found it after all this searching,
maybe I didn't lose it. Maybe it was stolen.
What kind of locket is it?
Sorry, I haven't seen it.
Then tell me where you went yesterday.
Don't ask me.
Colette-san?
My trust in you two is wavering right now.
That's my line.
It's no use playing dumb.
You're better off telling the truth... Huh?
Is something wrong?
Huh?!
N-No, n-nothing's wrong!
Oh, right!
I think I'm over the locket now.
Huh? What changed your mind?
Nothing changed my mind.
Did you find something in your pocket?
Huh?!
N-Nothing at all.
Then flip your pockets inside-out and show me your hands.
Are you happy?
What's with that suspicious fist?
N-Nothing. It's nothing.
T-Time for a magic show!
There! My locket teleported into my hand!
You're totally forcing this.
I'm sorry.
It was in my pocket.
I shall follow tradition and commit seppuku. Please behead me.
Stop.
I'm glad you found it, though.
Here.
It's a precious photo of your family, right?
Don't lose it again.
You're so kind, Uchimaki-senpai!
That must be the kind of spontaneous kindness that won her over.
Oh, please.
What do you mean, "photo of my family"?
What? That's not what's in it?
No, it's not.
You said it's precious, so I assumed it was your parents, since they're so far away.
No, no.
Huh?
It's a sticker photo I took last week!
It...
It's a picture of you?
Yeah!
Lost and Found
Hey!
Short Bob
They're late!
They're late! They're late! They're late!
I went to the trouble to come here, and they're all late!
I'm so bored!
If I can get it without using my hands, I win.
Ow...
Hello, Colette-san.
Sorry I'm late!
You're late, Usami-senpai.
Sorry. I got caught up talking with my friends from class.
Things are terrible here!
Is something wrong?
That.
Is something wrong with the president?
I'm over here.
Just because someone's sleeping doesn't mean it's me.
Then who's that?
Uchimaki-kun?
Apparently he's bummed out because he's having trouble drawing.
He's been like that all day.
What? Is everything okay?
Can you be awake this long?
That worries you?
Look, even I've spent whole days awake before.
President...
Huh?
You've become so impressive.
You're mocking me, aren't you?
Oh, no, of course not!
So, what, are you in a slump?
Either that or I'm out of ideas.
I was thinking of a new waifu,
but I just can't come up with a good hairstyle.
Hairstyle, huh?
Th-Then, how about...
a short bob cut...
or something?
Usami-san...
What...
do those look like?
Allow me to teach you.
Please don't, Cole-chan! I shouldn't have brought it up!
Like this.
Who's that?!
Shou and Bob.
Huh?
Look, Uchimaki-senpai. This is Shou and Bob.
But they're bald.
What's wrong with that?
Not that I was expecting anything.
I tried drawing them to match your tastes. Shou and Bob!
Oh, nice. A bald girl is a novel idea.
I wonder if
Imigimuru My Little Sister Is Watching!
this is the kind of thing he likes.
Subaru-oniichan,
please accept my heart.
Imigimuru My Little Sister Is Watching!
No way.
All right, see you tomorrow.
Okay!
Books
Art Club
Here.
Adorable hair and makeup!
For your reference.
Long and Semi-Long
Permed and Short
Thank you! I'll put it to good use!
D-Do whatever you want!
Uchimaki-senpai!
Don't forget about this.
Enough of Shou and Bob, okay?
That's not even a short bob!
Sh-Short bobs are like...
M-M-My...
Wait, these are all 3D.
What did you expect?
Indirect Kiss
Mizu.
Wanna hang out today?
Sorry, Kaori, I have club work again today.
I want to start preparing early for the next competition.
Sorry.
You sure are living up your youth, Mizuki.
She is.
N-Not really...
I just like drawing.
More than Uchimaki-kun?
Nah, not as much as Uchimaki-kun...
Come on, Sayaka, how could you make me say that?
You sure are living up your youth, Mizuki.
Mizu...
I don't know if it's right to be in a club for such a naughty reason.
It's not naughty!
Okay, let's go hang out in the Art Club room, then.
What? No way!
Fire Hydrant
Oh, come on. Why not?
You're just going to meddle, aren't you?
I won't.
You will.
I won't.
You will.
I won't. I won't.
Non-members aren't allowed in, anyway.
Aww...
Then...
We'll join as trial members.
What?!
Good idea! Let's go with that!
Yay.
Give me a break...
What about your newspaper club, Sayaka?
I'm looking for a scoop today.
Nothing's going to happen in my club.
It's called a scoop because you dig for something that isn't there.
Art Club
Why are you being so sneaky?
Huh?
Um, well...
Sorry, Uchimaki-kun.
Hi there!
Sorry I brought all these weirdos along.
Hey, how can you call your friends "weirdos"?
You're mean, Mizu.
Cut it out!
It's a pretty normal club room.
Nice to meet you, Uchimaki-kun.
Sure.
Thank you for taking care of our Mizuki.
Sure.
Mizuki is a good girl with a gentle heart.
Although she's a bit naughty.
Stop it!
Trial members?
It's just an excuse to come hang out.
Don't mind that.
Shh, Ryouko-chan! Shh!
Anyway, Uchimaki-kun, is it just you today?
Yeah.
Colette and the president are on the rooftop.
I see.
Hey, Mizu, can I draw something, too?
Sure, I guess.
Come on, Ryouko, Sayaka, let's draw. We'll make it a contest.
Worst artist buys drinks.
Okay, I'm in.
What are we drawing?
The subject is...
So this was her plan.
You're both kind of stiff.
Smile! Smile, you two!
Ah, nice!
Hold that expression!
Mizu, scoot to the right a little.
Touch shoulders with Uchimaki-kun.
Huh?!
I can't fit you on the page otherwise.
Hurry up!
That's it!
You better thank me, Mizu.
This is making me embarrassed.
Mine.
S-Sorry to make you put up with this, Uchimaki-kun.
It's okay.
All right, next, go in for a ki—
I don't think so!
Why don't you demonstrate?
No!
Stop! It's my first time!
Shut up and do it!
Time for the results.
Apple juice, please.
Milk tea.
Tea.
I'll have banana au lait, then.
Okay...
See you soon.
Was it that bad?
I'm back.
Careful, careful!
Thanks.
Sorry, Uchimaki-kun, they were all out of banana au lait.
Here, cola.
Uh...
Oh, Uchimaki-kun can't drink fizzy drinks.
Really?
That's kind of cute.
Darn it...
Yeah.
What do I do?
It's no big deal...
I took a sip already, but want to trade?
Nah, I don't think that's...
Thank you.
W-Wait, Uchimaki-kun!
Yes?
What do you mean, "Yes?"
Sh-She drank out of that!
Which means it's...
An i-i-indirect k-k-ki—
She's way too dense.
Come on, Kaori, say something!
I was actually just kidding.
Huh?
Hey!
Th-That was mine!
Sorry, I finished it all.
Wait, huh?
U-Uchimaki-kun, that's my...
Now we're even.
Uh...
Huh? You don't seem too upset.
Th-That's not true! I'm devastated!
Are you really?
Really! It's true!
Just go die in a fire.
It was indirect, but I kissed him.
Maybe it was a good thing Kaori and the gang came over.
Indecency
Indecency at school?!
School Newspaper
What the heck is this?
I dunno.
Sayaka!
Preview
I'm sorry! I wasn't paying attention!
I'll stand in the hallway as punishment!
I-I'll do my best.
That's what I'd like to ask!
Oh, I'm not anyone suspicious.
I'm the Art Club advisor, Tachibana Yumeko.
Do you mean you don't accept me as your advisor?
That was kind of teacher-ish.
Are they delinquents?
I-I'm so scared!
I'm going to get some fresh air.
Wh-Why do you have that?!
You're a pervert!
On the next This Art Club Has a Problem!
