Materialistic lifestyle; the deeper you're in, the worse you're off
Glorifying freedom; rationalization for screw-ups I make at the last minute
Merci, au revoir; my delusions get in the way of my pride; donc vas-y jete ca
Whistling dissipates my fatigue and everything and gets me ready for halftime
Kept walking on the wild side
I don't wanna fall asleep throughout my life
Sometimes in a buffalo style
Sometimes like a rock 'n roll mind
My dream's reaching its climax, my odds are invisible and blurred
My feelings are flying like a Boeing, what's ahead?
It is wonderful, my life
Please, could you kiss my name when the music's over?
Turn off the light, it was such a sweet time
Could you pray for me, my friend? I'm starting overtime
Taking over the night, taking over the blue time
If you heard that screaming shout in your mind
Taking over the shine, taking over the shooting star
All I was talking about was music!
And that's called jazz!
Extra, extra!
We've got a special issue about the truth behind the Drama Club's two performances!
Wow, that wolf is scary!
Yeah. I didn't go on the second day though.
Hey, I went on the second day!
Really? –Seriously?
How was it?
Oh, it was crazy! There was punching and kicking!
And at the end, this wolf pulled out a machine gun and set the tiger on fire!
Oh, that's scary!
Oh come on, she's distorting the story too much.
The Age Where One Finds Out Why Their Tails Get Dirty
Thanks for waiting!
An egg sandwich and tofu milk, the usual.
Thanks.
Legosi, you were right not to go to the cafeteria or the food stands.
Figured as much. What's going on?
Your rampage from yesterday is on the front page of the school paper.
Everyone's buying it.
The front page? You're kidding.
It's true.
It's a nice picture!
I got it for the occasion!
They're calling it the birth of a dark hero!
Jack should've seen yesterday's performance.
But... the fact that he's hanging out with me like always, must mean
he hasn't realized... that I wasn't acting at all.
I've gotta say, this photo's brilliant!
Since when were you this close to Louis-senpai?
No, that's not it.
There was just some stuff that happened that led to that article being made.
Huh?
Well, uh, it's because Louis-senpai's amazing.
I'm always causing him so much trouble!
I'm too ashamed to even look at him!
Goodness, I'm astonished by you two.
You can fight all you want here.
How can you have the nerve to apologize to me?
Uh, well, um, I just...
I don't know where to start...
I personally don't care that you drank small herbivore blood to pump yourself up.
Unlike Legosi, I never expected you to have good morals.
The problem here is that you senseless monsters spilled blood on the stage without a shred of shame!
If I hadn't stopped you, would you have killed each other?!
Your savageness surpasses all reason!
This is an order from the acting leader: you two are indefinitely suspended from the club.
No excuses.
S-Senpai...
Don't bother coming to practice tomorrow.
Behind you... —I would rather
kick you two out of the...
Were you in the middle of something?
I'm from the PR Club.
I want to know your thoughts on today's performance.
Can I have some of your time?
Um, Louis-san, what are we supposed to do about this?
Louis-san, please give me your thoughts!
At that moment, Louis-senpai looked like a normal 18-year-old boy...
But it might've just been my imagination.
Okay, you guys, listen to me.
I'm taking back my order.
The performance was a success.
And we're going to act like we made it a success on purpose.
Got it?!
Y-Yes.
Today's performance's story being completely different from yesterday's wasn't an accident, right?
Yes, of course!
We planned it from the very beginning!
I knew it!
I think you surprised everyone in the audience.
C-Could you give me your thoughts about it?
Sure.
This performance was a big challenge for us.
And I believe it was very meaningful for these two underclassmen.
The world we live in is very complicated.
We keep secrets, endure hardships, and life to the fullest while confronting our many conflicts.
There's no right or wrong in that.
But if we were to live with strong convictions, then light would truly shine upon us.
Whether we act violent or immature, we need to live with convictions.
I believe these underclassmen portrayed this message very well.
That's enough from me.
If you have any more questions, ask these two.
Ah, wait, Louis-san!
Please wait! I want more of your time!
Were Louis-senpai's words aimed at me?
When I destroyed the performance, did I have any of that?
Conviction...
Huh?
Legosi, has your anger subsided?
Anger?
I mean, your brawl yesterday wasn't an act, right?
Huh?! H-How...
What a waste!
Well, it'd be weird if I didn't notice.
How many years do you think we've been friends?
Here, three-second rule.
Eat it.
Cheer up already.
You get depressed over everything.
I always wanted to stay like that.
Huh?
I've always felt down and got back up on my own, just living behind the scenes.
But yesterday was the first time I couldn't bring myself to do that.
I just wanted to vent my anger.
I didn't want to control it.
I mean, these feelings only belong to me...
It's hard to explain.
He's changed.
I think it's fine to feel like that.
Do you hate it?
I hate... that I don't hate it.
Don't be such a stick in the mud!
You know, I'm happy for you.
Right now, you look more alive than you've ever been, Legosi.
You think so?
You're fine!
Well, to be honest,
I've been worried about you since you've looked so dejected these past couple of days.
Is there any special reason for it?
Special reason, huh?
Hmm... I don't really know.
Is it maybe...
Love?

S-Seriously? Really?
You haven't been in love in 17 years, and now you've finally sprung?
We need to get to class.
Hey, who is it, who is it, who is it? —Fifth period's starting.
How many female wolves are in our class?
There's that girl, that girl... Four?
Hey, that narrows it down quite a bit!
Yeah, it sure does. Absolutely.
What? She's not a wolf? Is she a canine?
You look down.
What's wrong?
More stuff that isn't going your way?
Your respect of others animals' privacy is your greatest virtue, isn't it?

The smell of the soil's getting stronger.
I like the smell.
As usual, there's always so much white and gray hair.
Isn't most of this just my hair and Legosi's hair?
Wait, hold on, this is a lot more hair than last year.
We're gonna sell it to the yarn seller again this year.
How much money are we gonna get?
Share some of your money with me!
Hey, where are you going in summer break?
Somewhere far away, in a train.
That sounds nice.
I'm definitely gonna ask her out this year.
No way. She's way out of your league.
Just like last year,
we've been invited to participate in the harbor's Meteor Festival!
And obviously, we're going.
Yes!
We can go into town again without having to write any permission slips!
We are definitely going!
Hey, guys!
We're not going to play! We're going to help with the festival!
Right!
The stage crew's gonna be busy again this year.
Let's all meet each other in the storeroom.
A'ight...
We shouldn't reuse our pieces from last year.
Why dinosours though? There are other animals that are easier to make.
Dinosaurs are the ancestors to all animals. They're gods. They're special.
And when the meteor fell and killed all the dinosaurs long ago, it was summer.
We're supposed to hold the festival to welcome the dead dinosaurs' souls.
Now that's just a front.
What everyone's really looking forward to is the Light Festival on the final day.
Couples place a lit-up candle by the meteor together so they can be together forever.
It's a, what do you call it?
It's an event for normies!
I bet the acting team's gonna hang out with their girlfriends and boyfriends after the event's over!
The dance team too.
Oh, it's fine.
They trust that the stage crew's gonna do a good job.
That's not my point!
I'm saying that they probably want us all to do the heavylifting because they assume we've got nothing else better to do!
I wish they'd think about our problems.
We've got a stagehand with an awfully violent temper.
It's a pain.
He means me.
It's been a month since all that mayhem.
But it's still awkward between me and the other members from time to time.
Oh come on.
The stage crew isn't dwelling on that.
How's your back?
It's a lot better now.
Really. That's good.
Let's go eat dinner in the cafeteria.
I...
Sorry, I need to be somewhere...
Good work today!
Good work today...
He's such a weirdo.
I'm pretty sure your teasing made him feel awkward!
Be nice!
'Kay.
Hey, these flowers are almost wilted.
Who's taking care of them?
If I replace the water, and use some of the medicine from the clubroom, I can get them back into good shape!
Don't worry. I'll make you all better.
You're so lame!
Wow, how could I let this happen?
You're all dirty! It suits you!
I was careless.
Are you so isolated that you can only talk to your flowers now?
Gross!
Yep, yep, you've got it.
Talking to my flowers is 100 times better than talking to any of you girls.
It's been a while, Haru-chan. We need to talk.
Did you make another move on my boyfriend?
Let me guess: you couldn't make up with him?
What?
Well, too bad for you.
He made a smart decision.
You can cry about your broken heart to your posse—
Hey, whose fault do you think this is?
Because you're such a damn slut, the harelquin species is now closer to extinction than ever!
You're the scum of this world!
You just get in the way of other animals' relationships, even though it doesn't benefit you!
Look.
Since I feel genuinely sorry for you, I'm gonna tell you something good.
You lost!
When it comes to love, acting desperate makes you more likely to lose!
Go on and continue your ridiculous game.
I'll keep watching you from a distance, so by all means, keep at it!
I'll be your witness when your species goes extinct from all your pathetic failed relationships!
And I'll be glad!
And in the Meteor Festival, I'll be sure to honor your species together with the dinosaurs!
You're wasting your time harassing me.
Why don't you pick on a female rabbit that's actually worth your time?
I have nothing to lose.
Unlike you girls, I'm free!
Did I go too far?
You shouldn't underestimate me.
Go get eaten by yourself!
Huh?
What's that supposed to mean?
You're from before...
What do I do? She's finally in front of me.
Finally...
“Were those girls picking on you?”
"Are you hurting anywhere?"
"Do you remember me?"
It's been a while.
All the stuff I want to tell her is clogged in my throat!
Sorry you had to see that.
The truth is, you've been stuck in my head for about a month now.
Aw, the flowers...
Right when I was about to take care of you, you died an early death.
I'm sorry.
I see. So she was always this small.
Are you... okay?
That's really sweet of you,
but I don't accept pity from males I've slept with.
Move.
Well... Um...
We didn't do anything.
Oh, uh, sorry!
He's right.
He ran off after I took my clothes off.
All that yelling has made me hungry.
Have you eaten dinner yet?
Hey, look at that.
You think he kidnapped her so he could get a bite out of her?
If so, then she's acting too calm for someone who got kidnapped.
Who's the one in trouble?
Sorry I have to sit on your backpack.
But I can eat at a better angle now.
R-R-R-Really. Good.
Oh God, Oh God, I turn to you in genuine repentance!
I've been through a lot, and I thought I was maturing little by little,
but I was wrong!
Huh? I keep walking, but I'm not making any progress!
I was presumptuous!
I haven't changed at all!
I mean...
I... can't even ask a girl for her name...!
This is nice.
How do I ask her for her name?
Why do I want to know her name?
Why would a wolf ask a rabbit for her name?!
What's her name?!
Hey, hey.
I don't know what you're dealing with, but you oughta cheer up.
Are you not gonna eat? You won't grow like that.
I-I'll eat, yeah.
Midterms suck. History is my worst subject.
Her voice sounds like that of a lonely child.
It's a mysterious voice.
If I ask her a question, will she answer with that voice of hers?
"What's your name?"
"Wasn't that scoop too big for your mouth?"
You're quite the pervert!
You shouldn't be so captivated by a girl trying to eat her food!
Uh, s-sorry...
I'm just kidding.
You know, I wanted to thank you for before, so I'm glad I can talk to you today.
I was seriously ready to have sex with a wolf.
But you put a blanket over my shoulders and left.
Now I think your decision saved me.
Realistically speaking.
W-What does that mean?
I mean, I know what she's trying to say.
But since I still don't know her name, it feels like I'm getting farther away from her...
Sorry, wolf boy.
It's a phenomenon in my body...
Doesn't seem I can control it.
Whenever he opens up his big mouth and reveals his fangs,
my instincts tell me to run for my life!
Run away! Run away!
my instincts tell me to run for my life!
You'll get eaten! You'll get eaten!
Run away!
Run away now!
Now this is tough.
A wolf and a rabbit eating together is so terribly risky.
Hey, rabbit girl.
Did you mean that you don't want anything to do with me?
I don't know your name.
I don't want to know you only by your underwear.
This wolf seems like a really nice guy.
I'd like to get closer to him, but we're just too physically different from each other,
and I can't think of a way to compensate for our differences.
I have to distance myself from him.
Now? Do I ask for her name now? I have to close our distance...
U-Um...
Ah, that was some good food!
Thanks for your time.
This was a valuable experience.
I'm going back to my dorm. What about you?
I'm going back too.
Oh, wait.
Huh? Hold on a second.
Hm? Huh?
Want me to help?
There.
Our eyes met for the first time.
Rabbits' eyes are really black, aren't they?
Huh?
What the heck?
Uh, I mean, I've never had a good look before.
Surprised me.
I see.
Maybe I was the one who wasn't stepping up.
You know, my name isn't Rabbit.
My name is Haru. What's yours?
Legosi.
I want you to smile more. I want to see more sides of you.
If I can look at your eyes more,
then I don't care how dirty my tail gets!
