Tsukimori Festival
It's finally time for the cultural festival.
It is.
What did the Art Club do last year?
Nothing.
The Art Club is mainly about competitions.
For the festival, they'll focus on their class projects—
That's not right!
The cultural festival is an important part of youth!
Right...
I'll find something.
Something perfect for the Art Club to contribute!
Yumeko-sensei?
Yumeko-sensei? Yumeko-sensei!
This Art Club Has a Problem!
Unity! Empty Cans! Cultural Festival!
May I take this?
Sure. It's empty, though.
I know.
Thank you.
I've gotten so many...
I heard she's been collecting empty cans like crazy lately.
Kaori said she saw her digging through the school trash cans yesterday.
But why?
Who knows?
Ah! Found one!
You can sell tin cans, can't you?
What, is Sensei strapped for cash or something?
Go ask her, Usami-san.
No way! You go ask her.
Are you poor, Sensei?
What?
Oh, so that's why you asked.
You scared me, jeez.
Sorry.
Don't worry.
I'm not collecting them to sell.
Then why are you collecting so many empty cans?
Have you heard of tin can art?
Oh, I might have seen some before.
You make all kinds of shapes out of tin cans, right?
That's right!
See, there are all kinds of designs.
I thought maybe we could make something for the cultural festival.
Oh, I get it.
Furthermore, we'll only use cans from the school,
and the theme will be "Made at School."
I get it!
I like it! Sounds fun!
Really?
That makes picking up all these cans worth it!
Right, Uchimaki-kun?
I'm busy drawing waifus, though,
so I don't have time for that.
Of course.
It's a little late for that, isn't it?
Come on!
Sensei put so much effort into this idea.
It'd make her sad if we don't go along.
Eh...
Are you a sad person, Sensei?
Stop it!
So, first, we need to come up with a design.
It'll be on display in the middle of the gym,
so we want something that'll draw the eye.
Tin Can Art
Something suited to the Art Club,
and something not too complex.
I know!
Uchimaki-kun.
Cute girl!
Denied.
Gloom
You don't get it, do you, Uchimaki-senpai?
Were you listening to what Usami-senpai said?
Okay, Cole-chan, do you have any good ideas?
Denied.
I'm hungry
Heroes!
Just kidding! This is my real design.
I put the Art Club front and center with this simple idea.
Really?
I'm hungry Simple
Art
Simple!
Well, it does say that...
She wasn't complimenting you.
Come on, seriously.
We don't have much time.
We never came up with anything good.
This might be one of those times where you think and think,
then end up using your first idea.
Nah, that won't happen.
D'oh
It's okay.
I'm sure if I rest on it, another cute girl will come to me.
Just put that whole concept to rest, okay?
Tin Can Art Design Ideas
1) Suited to the Art Club 2) Simple enough to finish in time for festival
Haunted House
All right!
We start working on the background art this month, Mizu!
Sorry, Kaori.
Can I go to the Art Club today?
What?! I wanted artist Mizuki-sensei to draw us some monsters!
I'm really sorry!
Sensei!
Jeez.
But it's great that she's so committed.
Not as much as you.
Hey, are you here alone, Usa-chan?
Imari-chan.
Heya.
Yeah, no one's here yet.
Oh...
Uchimaki-kun?
Huh?
Oh, no, I was wondering if Cole-chan's here.
Oh, you wanted Cole-chan?
I totally thought you were looking for Uchimaki-kun.
I was with Uchimaki-kun on day duty until just now.
Man, that would be so great...
Paint
Is this for the tin can art?
Yeah, we're trying to come up with designs right now.
I thought maybe this would represent the Art Club.
I like it. It's cute.
But...
I think it could be flashier.
Yeah! That's what I was thinking, too!
It's missing something!
Break down the magic barrier.
Give a drop of holiness to the earth.
What is all this?
Something like that?
Sorry, I'm totally lost.
I see.
Oh, Uchimaki-kun.
You're saying we should have some paint spilling out, right?
That's my comrade, Uchimaki!
That's true, though.
That might make it more dynamic.
I'm starting to think this'll work.
Okay, we don't have much time, but let's do this!
Right on!
There.
There's our first round of cans.
Thank you.
Thanks, Cole-chan.
That was a lot of work.
I think that's about 300.
I'm surprised you found so many just at school.
I'm done drawing.
Good work.
It's rough, but that's the blueprint.
Blueprint Connect with wire Make hole for wire to go through Push through hole and opening
Put the connected cans together
Wrap in tape
We'll make it in parts and then combine it.
Flash
Combine?!
Master, "combine"!
Indeed.
Clank! Clank!
Ka-chunk!
Woosh!
Ker-chunk!
Ta-da!
Come on, Uchimaki-senpai, you and Usami-senpai have to combine, too.
You know, if you keep playing around, Usami-senpai will get mad. Right?
Huh?
Couldn't resist...
You pick the weirdest times to play along.
I'll combine with Tachibana-sensei, then.
We have a creeper here.
Look who's talking.
I never made a kissy face!
Let's get started. We don't have time.
First, we remove the pull tabs.
This is gonna be tedious.
We're just getting started.
Next, let's wash the cans really well.
It's pretty cold, huh?
My hands... I'm dying.
Turn them over to dry.
This process is nice and easy.
We're going to remove more pull tabs in the meantime.
Remove the tabs.
Wash the cans.
It's so cold, though.
My hands... My hands!
Dry the cans.
Remove the tabs.
Wash the cans.
My hands... My hands!
Wash the cans.
Usami...
Yes?
How many times are we doing this?
Just thirty times.
I'll leave you to it.
No sleeping!
Now we're going to connect them as per the blueprint.
So I just have to push these through the cans?
Yup. Make sure you get them in the right order.
And so a week goes by.
I think we can make it on time.
Huh?
Our stock's almost out.
We have more.
Sensei collected some for us.
I'll go get the new ones, then.
Whoa!
I'm sorry.
That's a lot of stuff.
What are you carrying?
Empty cans?
Vessels, once destined for a fiery fate.
But now, they are to be
reincarnated as effigy.
Ah, got it.
Take care.
"A fiery fate"?
So she's taking out the trash?
This is all trash to be incinerated?
Oh, man.
Sensei, go like this!
Like this?
I'm off!
Oh, you're leaving already?
Yeah.
It's pretty early. Club work?
Yeah. Our tin can art is almost done.
Oh, yeah?
Finally, huh?
Work hard.
I'm looking forward to it.
Yeah. Thanks.
See you.
Tsukimori Festival
What a waste! What a waste!
Who are you trying to be?
If you don't want it, I'll take it and recycle!
I am Eco Man!
Hey, we're using those. Don't break them.
Take this! Special attack: Recycle Beam!
Are you okay, Cole-chan?
There.
Ow...
I tripped and fell.
Crunk
Colette-san, your back side is dented!
You're right!
Oh, dear.
I'm sorry!
It's partly this can's fault for tripping me, though!
No, Sensei!
It's not like that! I mean, it's, well...
Um... Uh...
I'm sorry!
You see...
They all got thrown away?!
All of them?
All the empty cans we had stocked up?
Yes.
I'm so sorry!
Apparently he thought we were throwing it out.
There are still some left in the storage room in back,
but we're still going to need at least 200 or so more.
And we have only three days until the event.
We might not be able to find 200 more just at school.
What should we do?
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
Sensei...
If only I'd made it clear...
Don't be so hard on yourself, Sensei.
Colette-san...
True, it's totally your fault,
but it's cool!
It's okay. Please cheer up.
We really need to do something, though.
We'll have to give up on "Made At School"
and find some from the neighborhood.
Ahem.
You're awake, President?
It's too early to give up.
It's getting cold, but the sports clubs buy quite a bit.
But there's no way the vending machines at school have 200.
Yeah, that won't do it.
So we'll buy some at the supermarket.
But it won't be "made at school" if we buy them from somewhere else.
No, no.
What do you mean?
We'll buy them for cheap at the supermarket, then sell them at school.
Sell them?
We are?
Get it now?
Wherever you buy it, if you drink it at school, it's the school's garbage.
Let's go with that!
Yeah!
Now that that's settled,
I'll find some money, even if it means going broke!
I'll drink mud if I have to!
It's okay, Sensei. Don't push yourself.
It's so hot.
Extra! Extra!
Please come! It's cheap!
Perfect for poor guys like you!

Excuse me, where's mine?
Hurry up, please.
Coming.
This is tough.
Sorry!
Please excuse the wait.
Please excuse the wait!
Imari-chan! Cole-chan!
Thank goodness.
Hey, where's Sensei?
Well, actually...
It won't reach...
Reach!
I finally got it.
Well? How's this?
She said she'll be along later.
That's Yumeko-sensei for you.
These are pretty tight
around the chest, though.
What? It's totally fine for me.
What are you talking about?
Nothing!
Excuse me, I'd like a drink.
C-Coming up!
Drink up and work hard at your club, okay?
She's so cute!
I'd like one with a smile, please!
Me, too!
And me, too!
I'll take two!
Three for me!
Okay, please don't shove.
That's my master.
Me, too!
I want a smile, too!
Which one's first?!
U-Um...
May I have one?
Thank you.
Huh?
Aren't you...
Yes, I'm the second-year—
Usami-san.
I'll take the cans we got to the club room.
Okay, good. Thanks.
Wait a second, Uchimaki Subaru!
I challenge you here and now!
Who were you again?
Not this again!
The rules are simple.
Whoever finishes this first wins.
If any drips from your mouth, you lose.
Fine, fine.
Okay, here we go.
Ready...
Begin!
Sorry!
I'm here now!
That voice... Is that Yumeko-sensei?
Yes.
I finally found one that I can wear.
It gets your attention, right?
Too much.
There, there.
Hold still.
That tickles.
Come on, don't move.
You'll regret this!
Who was that, anyway?
Hey!
Moroboshi-sensei.
I got seventy more.
Thank you!

Before the love fades away
I want to express my heart to you in twelve colors
Red is for passion
Blue is for melancholy
There are many sides to me
If yellow is happiness
Then green is relaxation
I'll be myself
With feelings of so many colors
Mixed on top of my palette
Here I am, all black and ready to break
Green tea
Art Club
Before the love fades away
Tell me what's in your heart
With monochrome feelings
Right now
Before the love fades away
I want to express my heart to you, honestly, without hiding anything
I'm not too good at love
I'm pretty clumsy
But I hope you'll embrace my blank canvas without laughing
My heart's palette says "I love you"
That's the only color I have
Tsukimori Festival
It's done!
We did it, Cole-chan!
We did it, Usami-senpai!
Now we just have to carry this to the gym.
Yup!
Wait a second.
We're displaying this in the middle of the gym, right?
Yes.
How are we going to get it out of here?
Tsukimori Festival
All right, we're tearing it down!
Yeah!
I'm off.
Take care.
Preview
Day duty?
Are you leaving for the day?
Should I help?
Huh?
No, it's okay.
Then you should let Imari-chan in.
Yeah.
It's raining hard.
Okay.
She's finally here.
Uchimaki-kun?
Yeah, I think I've fallen...
For you, Usami-san.
