Don't give up! I swear...
...we'll save you!
Yamato! Grab on!
Noda
Got it!
Yone
Yamato!
I got it, Black!
The time has come.
That is indeed the crimsonite pitcher desired by the goddess of the harvest!
You mean the kettle Old Lady Yone from the third district lost out in the fields.
Hmph...
Once we deliver this, our mission's complete!
They're up to something again.
Out helping people, right? Good for them.
You'll catch a cold. Get out of there already!
Wup!
Okay!

Episode 1 That's Right, I Have Awakened
Minakami Private High School
Okay, go ahead and introduce yourself.
Mizuki Hijiri
Hello, everybody.
My name is Mizuki Hiji...ri?!
Pink!
What?
Yup... I can tell! You're Pink!
"You"? You mean me? "P-Pink"?!
Noda, you're freaking out the transfer student. Sit down.
Okay!
With a last name like that, you figure she's a healer?
Come on baby, I'll hold you in a clever embrace.
I got crushed by that limited edition gacha...
Note: Gacha, in-game lottery
Takashima. Put your smartphone away.
Missed you again today, Sora-chan!
N-nice to meet you all.
Classics Classics P.E. World History B
I'm Yamato Noda! Great to meet you, Pink!
My secret alter ego is Red!
Eek!
You don't have textbooks yet, right? I've gotcha covered!
Th-thanks...
Uh...?
Your power level's pretty amazing!
He's close! Too close! I'm scared...
Let's go.
Yup.
This isn't right...
I wanted to say a typical hello, mingle quietly into the class,
make some friends, and lead my schooldays in peace...
Why is everyone keeping their distance?
I'm off to a horrible start!
What do I do...?
What's the matter?
Huh?
I'm Nanako Watase, the class rep. Nice to meet you.
The pleasure's all mine.
Who is this savior...?!
I'd be happy to help if you don't mind.
Oh... uh...
I can't just come out and say that I want friends.
Yeah, okay...
If you don't want to tell me, you could go to the old school building.
"O-old school building"?
Yeah. Our school has a club that helps people in trouble.
Uh, I don't know if I'd count on them.
They're interesting, sure...
Really? But my granny said they helped her out.
What? Really?!
What's with that reaction? Doesn't sound promising at all.
But... it is my first day, and she means well.
Thanks. I'll go check it out.
Hero Club Room Please press for assistance.
The "Hero Club"?
I guess this is it.
It doesn't ring?
This won't open!
It slides?!
S-sorry!
Welcome.
Pink!
Ack! It's you!
Welcome... to... the... Hero Club!
Special event on now! Concert Lesson Gacha
I just knew you'd come!
I'm going.
Wait!
I knew you'd make it here on your own, Pink!
I wouldn't have come if I knew you were here!
So what's "pink"?
Ahem.
Well, basically, Yamato loves live action superhero shows a bit too much, and-
I'm Red! This one's Yellow!
Note: Yellow is typically the comedic relief.
The handsome guy is never Yellow.
I'm Tomoki Takashima.
You sit diagonally in front of me.
Yup.
And that's Black!
The true name carved into my soul is Toga Ryushoin-!
S-settle down, right arm...!
Calm yourself. I can't... unleash you yet...!
Gildivalan... I shan't... let you...
...take... me over!
You wish to know about me? In this life, my name is Kazuhiro Nakamura, Class 1-A.
In my last life, I was born out of a forbidden union between an angel and a demon.
That is why in this life, I can see the unseen.
And the one who got his shoulder slammed...
Oh...
...is Rei Tsukumo.
He's Purple!
This is ridiculous.
I just had this hunch...!
That the five destined warriors would gather at this school!
Basically, Yamato delusionally thinks you're Pink, Hijiri-san.
Excuse me?!
It's not a delusion!
That eye patch is for suppressing some special power in your right eye, right?
My eye just got infected!
Y-you mean your powers have yet to awaken?!
They never will! For the rest of my life!
If you haven't awakened yet... you're a sitting duck for the Agency!
Uh, "agency"?
Takashima-kun, can you do something about this kid?
Can't. I'm on a date with Sora-chan.
Sora Good morning ♡ Let's have another great day ☺♡♡
Is that a game?
It's iLive!
This is key time for nurturing my love with Sora-chan!
What a waste of good looks...
I devote everything to Sora-chan!
Sora-chan
Recess, time for studying, time for sleep...
In-game events always get top priority!
If a cafe is having a character collaboration, I'll eat every item on the menu even if my belly bursts!
You'll upset your stomach...
I collect absolutely all items and extras using everything I've got,
be it funds from my allowance, doing chores, or part time jobs!
That's right, 2D girls are ultimate and supreme!
Sora-chan, I love you!
"This glowing season"..." Precious memories with you"...
Don't tell me you're... falling in love with me?
Sure, I have the looks and a body to match. My grades are above average and I'm a good singer...
But sorry... I have no interest in real girls.
Uh-huh...
Thanks to Pink, the Hero Club is complete!
H-hold on! I'm not Pink, and I'm planning to join the Gardening Club!
Then why are you here?
Well... I was told I should come here if I need help...
If you need a textbook, you can use mine!
That's not what I need help with!
Don't worry!
We're comrades, right?!
They're idiots... All of them are hopeless idiots...
Those who are wise do not court danger Toga Ryushoin
I just want to enjoy my school days in peace with some friends.
Gotcha! "Friends," huh?
"Peace," too! That's important!
You'll probably need about a hundred...
He ignored the "peace" part!
Seriously, I'm all good now.
Anyway, gotta go. Class is starting soon...
Oh right...
He sits next to me...!
Don't get yourself down, Pink!
I'll make sure your mission to make a hundred friends succeeds!
But I don't need a hundred...
Outburst Dreamer Boys!
Good morning, Hijiri-san.
Good morning.
You got all your textbooks, huh? That's great!
Yup. Now I can focus in class.
Oh right, we're doing practice games this afternoon for the ball sports tournament.
The locker room's gonna get crowded. We should get changed early.
Huh?
Burning drive!
What?! This is the second floor!
Boom!
Wow, that was crazy!
Did you see that? My free form goal!
Amazing as always, Noda!
Are you okay?
Huh? Oh, yeah...
Uh, didn't he just jump from here?
Well, Noda-kun's really good at sports.
But he jumped from the second floor. That's way better than just "good"!
You okay there, Pink?!
Don't call me weird names in such a loud voice!
Huh?
Thanks for earlier.
But I wish you wouldn't call me "Pink."
Good thing you weren't hurt!
Thanks for the meal.
Mizuki Hijiri.
Why'd he say my full name?
Can I have a moment?
Okay...
I pondered over this last night,
but perhaps you should track the ties from your previous life to make friends.
By encountering kindred souls from your previous life, new paths will open up,
and that meeting of souls will bring about an unlimited Big Bang of possibilities-
It's fine. The class rep Watase-san is pretty-
Zounds! Is that a villain?!
Are you okay?!
What is this?
It's a toy.
Don't underestimate it!
That's most likely a cockatrice garuda that swooped in from the void!
These white hands bestowed upon me by the billion-fold world shall carve their divine power into your body!
If that's all... s-see you later.
What was that all about?
Takashima-kun has a lot of friends, huh? Looks fun.
I'm serious. Funny, right?
Really?
That's awesome.
Hey.
What?
I thought I'd introduce you to my friends. They're all nice, so I'm sure you'll click with someone.
Huh?
He has normal female friends!
I guess he is attractive as long as he keeps his mouth shut.
Here.
iLive Start Game
2D friends?!
Hijiri-san! We've got to change. Let's go together!
Oh, right!
Close it!
Hijiri-san!
Uh, yeah! I-I'm gonna go.
This is an emergency. Get hold of Black and Purple!
Where's Purple?
Busy, apparently.
Huh?
Oh well, then. Let's get to it.
Take a look at this.
Hmm?
It's obvious. Someone's after Pink.
That time...
...when she was talking to me...
...and just now.
These were all aimed at Pink.
Who'd do such a thing?
The Agency must be on the move!
Maybe Pink's on the verge of awakening!
That's it! They mean to finish her off before she gets a hold of special powers!
That means we've got to protect Pink!
But what about her mission to make friends?
That's under control!
Our school has a lot of events.
Yeah? That sounds like fun.
I don't want to be alone at the events!
Oh?
Huh?
Paper airplanes?
They're so pretty...
Th-this...
Don't tell me they're all...?!
Don't look!
Looking to make friends! Class 1-C Mizuki Hijiri (Pink)
"Looking to make friends. Class 1-C, Mizuki Hijiri, parentheses Pink."
That voice!
So you came to that room just because you want to make some makeshift friends.
What a joke.
You three!
Hey, Pink!
Looking to make friends!
Don't "hey, Pink" me! What's this?!
Great idea, huh?
How?! Are you an idiot?! It looks like I did this!
I just want to lead a normal school life in peace!
Please, just leave me alone!
Wait!
I said, leave me alone!
Why? How did this happen?
Mizuki Hijiri. You're being targeted.
That's right. This came flying at you earlier, too.
That's just a coincidence!
It's dangerous on your own!
Just back off, okay?!
What do you do on the weekends?
Hmm, I read books, listen to music...
I like Vocaloid tunes.
Oh yeah, they're great! I like those, too.
They must have agents mingled in the crowd... What are they up to?!
Watase!
Sorry.
Shoot!
She dodged it!
You've awakened.
You can control your right eye's powers now, even without the eye patch!
What are you talking about?
You don't have to hide it!
You just dodged that ball, Pink!
This sensation...
These recurrent attacks! The enemy is among us!
Go Forth...
...and Illuminate, Searchlight!
Impressive...
My searchlight detects any evil soul within a ten-kilometer radius, but they neutralized it...!
Yamato!
That was a close one!
What's going on?! What happened?!
Stand back!
The culprit is among us.
What?!
Huh...?
Someone's actually after me?!
That's right. The culprit...
...is you!
Next episode preview!
This is bad, Pink! The evil Agency is after you!
What do I do?! I have no idea what you're talking about!
Guess it can't be helped. Let's go kick some ass.
Oh well, "they" really don't know how to wait...
What are you all fighting against...?
No! It's far too early!
Don't worry! We're all going to Black's house now to see Excalibur!
Right... Let's go!
You've come.
Someone help me, please!
Excalibur is the name of the sword said to be wielded by King Arthur.
Next episode: "The Reincarnation of an Angel or a Devil."
Originally, there was only supposed to have been one Excalibur.
↓ Way too long. I can't read this!
But as The Legend of King Arthur spread across various nations, the story's
↓ Exposition much?
Look at all those words...
