A grimoire?
Yes. The evil grimoire, the Necronomicon.
I received word that it's hidden somewhere in this school.
That's my master!
It's extremely dangerous.
We must do everything we can to recover it ourselves.
Yes, sir!
By the way, do you know what the Necronomicon is?
Probably... I think.
I've seen it before.
You have?
Th-That's pretty amazing.
Oh, my.
What are you up to?
Yume-sensei!
Know what? I'm going to go look for something with my master.
Oh, my. What are you looking for?
Um...
Necronominon!
Wow.
You mean Necronomicon.
It's a really dangerous book.
Be careful if you find it, Sensei.
Thank you.
Okay, I got it.
Necroloan, right?
Necronomicon!
This Art Club Has a Problem!
Find the Grimoire!
Art Club
Say, Uchimaki...
What is it?
You're seriously close.
It's just the two of us in this club room right now.
Huh?
Two men.
Just the two of us.
You know
what I'm saying, right?
I don't know!
No, I don't want to know!
Hang on. I think you've got the wrong idea.
Huh?
I'm talking about that book.
What book?
N-No way...
Indeed.
Amateur Heaven
Bam
This book that you guys found!
I absolutely object to keeping that book here!
We couldn't just take it back,
Well, it's already decided!
so I've kept it here for now.
Blah blah blah...
But there's always a risk that a teacher will find it.
So what do you want to do?
I'll take it home and dispose of it there.
What?
I know. I'm aware of the danger.
But this is my duty as club president.
You just want to take it home, don't you?
H-How can you say that?!
Why don't I throw it away, then?
I'm not interested in 3D, after all.
You're bringing that up now?!
No, no.
No, no, no!
What are you doing?
It's not what you think, Usami-san!
This is...
Disgusting.
This is all a mistake!
Yeah, let us explain!
Don't come near me, you filth!
Throw the book away?
Hmm, sounds good.
I agree.
Amateur Heaven
I don't want that creepy thing here forever.
And there's no telling what people will say if we get caught.
Hi, everyone!
Are you all working hard on your art?
Y-Yes.
W-We're about to start.
Huh? Where's the president?
Um...
Sorry!
I'm in the middle of something.
Oh, there you are.
Yeah, that's where he is.
That was a close one.
By the way, guys,
we're looking for a certain dangerous book right now.
A d-dangerous book?
Wh-What is it called?
Um, what was it called again?
It's supposed to be hidden somewhere in the school.
Um...
It's called...
N... Ne... Ne...
Nekomirokon!
Huh?
Nekomi?
Neko Milk On!!!
Neko milk on!
Oh, God, this is it.
This is the book Tachibana-sensei's looking for!
Come to think of it, there are a lot of books
in that room over there, right?
Would you mind if I took a look?
Go ahead.
We're safe, right?
Yeah, we're okay.
Let's just get outside.
Good idea.
Ayase Kaori
Yeah, so it was love at first sight with this yo-yo.
Sure, sure.
Huh?
Mizu and Uchimaki-kun?
Hey, Mizu, take a look at this.
Sorry, I'm in a hurry!
Mizu finally took Uchimaki-kun back from
that transfer student, and now they're eloping?!
What's with that story?
This I gotta see!
Don't.
Don't stop me!
It's two lovers eloping!
All the more reason not to go after them.
That was close.
Hey!
No running in the hallways.
Sorry.
You're way too exhausted, Uchimaki-kun.
We should be safe now, though...
What do we do? It's Colette-san.
It could get complicated if she talks to us now.
Hey, it's Uchimaki-senpai and Usami-senpai.
Are you going somewhere?
Y-Yeah, sort of. What about you?
I was looking for a grimoire.
A grimoire?
How's it going, Cole-chan?
Did you find any leads?
Huh?
Master, over here.
Huh? Why "Master"?
I didn't know you were friends with Imari-chan.
Yup!
Uchimaki-senpai, there's something in your tummy.
You're right.
Is that a... book?
Ack!
A book!
No, I...
No, actually...
The hidden book...
It's nothing.
Could it be...
Is that the grimoire?
Cole-chan!
Yes, sir!
Hey, wait... Colette-san!
Cole-chan, you're making me jealous—
I mean, stop that!
This, too, is fate.
To think Uchimaki-kun would have the grimoire...
No, it's not!
It's that book from the other day.
From the treasure hunt.
Pop
Amateur Heaven
There you are.
Gosh, you two...
You surprised me when you vanished like that.
What's wrong?
C-Colette-san, what's that?
Huh?
Uchimaki-senpai had it...
N-No!
There's a reason for this!
Come talk to me in the staff office.
Help me, Usami-san!
Imari-san, stop laughing!
I'm not even interested in 3D girls!
Come to think of it, getting scolded by Tachibana-sensei
over that book would be more of a reward than anything!
Gross.
My life—
What was that book about, anyway?
I-I dunno...
The Challenger Returns
Hey, long time no see.
Huh? Who are you again?
Hey!
We faced off in the competition!
Don't you remember that intense battle?
Competition?
I remember winning first prize, but...
First prize?
This cocky little punk...
All right.
Uchimaki Subaru, I hereby challenge you.
The loser must do as the winner says—
I'll pass.
Don't say that, just—
I'll pass.
I'm begging you! I'll do anything you say!
Right...
What?!
Me? Model for a drawing?
Yes.
The time limit is ten minutes.
Strike a cute pose for us.
What? Hang on a second.
Ready...
What? What do you mean, a cute pose?
Go!
Tee-hee!
Hey! Stop laughing!
Sorry, it just doesn't suit you at all.
Be serious.
Hey, you...
You're welcome to take Uchimaki-kun down this time.
Hey, Usami-san, are you betraying a fellow Art Club member?
Nyah!
Okay?
I'm rooting for you.
Sh-She's rooting for me...
A girl is rooting for me for the first time...
I'm rooting for you!
Okay, here we go.
Ready... Start.
Okay, the ten minutes are up.
This should do it.
Okay, let's see Uchimaki-kun's first.
I bet it's going to be totally different again.
Nah. I went all-out to make it look like you.
Oh, come on. You're lying again.
I'm serious.
You're not fooling me.
A-chan!
See, I told you!
Why do you always make it totally different?!
Not at all. She's just like you.
In what way?!
See?
I'm not wearing those today!
Seriously...
I think we know who the winner is now.
Right?
Why haven't you drawn anything?!
Well, I...
Why?!
Sorry.
The winner is... Uchimaki-kun.
Maybe that wasn't enough time.
I, uh...
Yeah, having a time limit always makes you feel rushed, right?
I'll be back!
He says he'll be back.
He totally sees you as a rival, Uchimaki-kun.
His face was bright red.
That must have been really upsetting.
What the heck am I doing?
I'm rooting for you.
You're welcome to take Uchimaki-kun down.
Seriously...
I think we know who the winner is now.
Right?
Maybe that wasn't enough time.
I'm not wearing those today!
Huh?
"Not wearing those today"?
Huh?!
Huh?
Wearing what?
Moe Stroll
Moeka!
Okay, from the fifth line in the textbook.
From "The dragonflies in autumn are..." to the next paragraph.
It almost feels like spring.
Who are you?
What are you doing?
You're not allowed to sleep there.
Why is there a kid here?
Who are you, Mister?
Mis—
I'm not "Mister." I'm "Onii-san."
Grandpa.
Never mind that. How did you get in here?
From over there.
By yourself?
Yeah.
That's no good.
Your mom and dad are going to be worried.
My dad isn't around.
Upsy-daisy.
Are you thirsty?
A little.
Okay, wait here.
What should I get?
What do you want?
Green tea.
So grown-up...
Is it good?
Yeah. Thank you, Mister.
You mean "Onii-san."
Grandpa.
You draw, huh?
Can I look?
No! No!
I'm showing this to Grandpa.
Grandpa?
Yeah. I'm here to show it to Grandpa.
Is your grandpa a teacher here?
Yeah.
I see.
I'll take you to the staff office, then.
What's a "staff office"?
It's where the teachers are.
Oh...
Come on.
You're a good person, Mister.
I don't know.
I was skipping class to nap.
I'm not sure I'm a good person.
I guess I'm normal.
Normal?
Yeah, normal.
Daddy always says normal is best.
I know, right?
Wait, your dad's around?
No, he's at work right now.
Mister, you lose.
Oh, I can't go in the shade, huh?
Yup. It's the winter version.
They're studying in there right now,
so we have to pass by without making any noise.
Can you do that?
Yeah.
Good. Here we go.
You don't have to crouch, though.
You use "have just" here.
Have—
Hey, what's that?
That?
That's the gym.
We have gym class there.
What's "gym"?
We're starting there?
Uh, it's like a playground, but more awesome.
Is it like a sports club?
You do know what sports are, huh?
Yup. We go to the sports club on Tuesdays.
Looks like they're at it.
I think you've gained some weight, Mizu.
I have not!
Wow.
Yeah, that was amazing.
Here.
Thank you.
Have some candy.
It's good.
Minamimi Peppermint Candy
You're really grown-up, aren't you?
I gave you candy, so you have to give me a shoulder ride.
That's some expensive candy.
Here we go!
Sure, sure.
The staff office is past that door.
Staff office?
Is that where Grandpa is?
Yup.
Safe!
Nice.
Moeka?
Grandpa!
So you really did come, huh?
I never thought your grandpa would be Koyama-sensei.
Listen, Moeka.
I got a call from your mommy.
She was looking for you.
Hasn't she told you not to go outside by yourself? It's dangerous.
But, Grandpa...
Everyone was worried about you.
I'm sorry!
As long as you understand.
Uh, Sensei, here.
Wow, this is well-drawn.
Really?
Yes, it's very good.
Ask him, too.
Is it good?
Hey, this really is good.
You've got talent.
Good for you.
He's in the Art Club.
Art Club?
That guy!
It's a club where you draw lots and lots of cute girls.
Is it a place with lots of good drawers?
Yup.
And he's the most important of them.
Cute girls...
Pawn
Important
So grown-up...
You're an important mister, Mister!
It appears she likes you.
By the way...
Why aren't you in class?
Oh... I'm sorry.
He's bowing to Grandpa.
Pawn
Cute girls...
Important
Pawn
I'm not "Mister," I'm "Onii-san."
Pawn
Important
Super Important
Yes, it's very good.
Grandpa, you're more important than Mister!
Grandpa's an awesome grandpa!
Preview
Hey, Uchimaki-kun, why is it so messy here?
Too bad!
I'm so worried.
Takeda-sensei...
The Student Council?
You were listening?
I'm going to the restroom.
I know, but...
I need to tell him.
I'm not getting through to him!
I'll help you study at my place over the weekend.
Yeah, my mom and dad are out right now.
I'd never do this for anyone else.
