What is this?
Tokyo Academy?
Ah. Wrong one.
What was that?!
It's a boy!
You're not welcoming him.
Get rid of him.
St. Blossom's Girls Academy?
Get away!
He has a cute face.
St. Blossom's Girls Academy Kishinosato Juri
Finally, I'm here.
The place I have only seen in my dreams...
Ohsaka Academy?
Um...
Is anyone here?
"Beware of Falling"?
What's happening?!
My pants are falling down...
Damn it.
If he's from America, his eyes must be super blue!
No. He is a black person that's about two meters tall.
That can't be true.
I heard his nickname is Usain Bolt.
The world's fastest man?
I heard the new kid is as fast as he is!
Morning.
I'm Ashiya Mizuki, the transfer student.
Fierce from the start!
He is so Japanese.
And trims his eyebrows.
And missing a shoe!
Are you Usain?
Usain? I'm from California.
California?
What? That's boring.
I knew it.
Have you seen him?
Huh?
Schwa-chan, Schwa-chan!
Note: He's talking about Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Isn't he the governor of California?
What's he like? Tall? Big?
I don't know.
This is great. I love Die Hard!
Schwa-chan wasn't in Die Hard.
Hey! Here's your seat.
Your bangs.
Bangs?
It will look better if you let it fall naturally.
Yes. You're the cutest after me.
Ahh... Thanks.
Is this a girls' school!
That hurt!
Ye... yeah. What are you doing!
I'm going to kill you!!!
Your aura is different from everyone else's.
Aura?
Maybe your aura's balance is broken.
Eh?
It feels messy.
Earthly spirits... Floating spirits...
Hope these bad spirits won't gather here.
No, no, no.
Hey! Go!
You're the transfer student, right?
-Go now! -What are you doing?
Why do I have to go?
What! It's just Sano. Don't scare us!
This sliding door is broken.
Sano Izumi.
Sano Izumi...
is the person who changed my destiny.
You're Sano-kun, aren't you? I'm Ashiya Mizuki.
Starting today... Um... We will be in the same class. Nice to meet you.
Sano is popular with guys, too!
Isn't that great, Sano!
Hello, hello.
Oh. Nice to meet you.
Whoa... English!
Nice, too.
-Yes. Nice to meet you. -The transfer student is interesting, huh.
Class is over!
MEAL TIME!

I thought I was going to die!
Hey! Hurry up!
I really need to go!
I know!
I haven't seen your face before.
I just transferred here today.
You got hurt here.
I'm fine.
Excuse me!
Ohsaka Academy School Nurse Umeda Hokuto
How long can I last here?
Sano.
I wanted to see your high jump,
so I came here.
What are you doing?
Sorry!
Crap.
See ya.
You're...
pretty cute.
What are you saying?!
Yo, transfer student!
You'll get pregnant if you stand too close to him.
Pregnant?!
Yeah. At my level, all I have to do is...
look into the other person's eyes.
I... don't mind.
I'm the dorm leader of Dorm 2 here, Nanba Minami.
Nice to meet you.
Ah.
Not cute.
Your face just now... wasn't cute at all!
Ah, crap. It's Saori.
Hello?
Ahh sorry, sorry, sorry.
I'm coming right now. Bye.
Nakatsu. Take care of things, please.
Got it.
Bye.
See you later.
So, it's like this.
Listen up. This is the dorm for Ohsaka Academy.
It's split into three dorms inside.
Dorm 1 is led by Tennoji of the martial arts faction. It's for athletic types.
Dorm 3 is led by Himejima of the arts faction. It's for artistic types.
And here is our Dorm 2. It's a mix.
Oh. Laundry machines are there.
The water doesn't work in my room.
Is... is that so?
There's no water for the shower!
It doesn't work for me, too.
I can't see.
I can't do anything about it anyway.
Why don't we all go to the bath house?
Yeah, good idea. Let's go.
-Hey, transfer student. You go, too. -No thanks.
Hey!
This is the dining hall. The quality isn't bad.
After all the chef is from Madagascar.
Really?
Due to many different reasons, the school is closing down on September 30.
Closing down?!
You didn't hear about it?
Wait, wait, wait.
September 30? That's in three months. You're kidding me, right?
Well, what's decided is already decided.
It has already come to this, yet you still transferred here.
Well, I heard that Tokyo Academy is taking a few good ones and ignoring the rest.
I should probably start thinking about where I'm going to stay.
What is this?
What... is this?
Hey, hey, Yujiro.
Yujiro?
We got a problem.
What is it?
We found some weird creature in the backyard!
Note: "Tsuchinoko" (literally, "hammerspawn") is a legendary snake-like cryptid from Japan.
It might be a hammerspawn!
What?
Hammerspawn!
Oh, hammerspawn.
Hammerspawn?!
Yeah!!!
Me?
This is your room.
Just ask me if you need anything. I'm in Room 201.
Here we go.
This isn't a hammerspawn! It's the principal!
What's with this place?
Come to think of it...
What's going to happen in three months?
Will he be able to do high jumps again under these circumstances?
Sano.
Wait. Why? What?
Room 205 Ashiya Mizuki Sano Izumi
No way.
Ouch!
Sorry!
What on earth did you bring?
Are you okay?
Um...
I heard the school is closing down.
I heard about it for the first time from Nakatsu.
If that's the case, then it'll be hard to focus on high jumping.
Uh... I've known about you from magazines and stuff.
They said you're a great athlete.
Hey.
Hm?
Can you do your one-man show outside?
Food!
Meal time!
Today, the chef is using his special skills,
to make "Calorie Bread," a famous Ohsaka Academy product.
It's limited to 20. You can't eat it if you're slow!
Look at yourselves. Take it!
Yay!
No more.
The end.
Too bad. Come back tomorrow.
Is this okay?
Yeah.
Thank you!
Thank you for the food!
The water still isn't working.
Come to think of it...
Yujiro only licks girls' faces, right?
Your face could totally pass for a girl's.
Now that you mention it...
What... What are you saying? I'm a girl? You're joking!
Yeah.
It's not a joke if you really have breasts.
How is that possible?
But that makes me kind of sad.
This year is really not exciting.
It's all because of that. All remaining events are canceled.
The Joint Sports Event last year was so interesting!
Joint Sports Event?
It's a traditional competition between us and Tokyo Academy.
Both schools have to give their all to showcase their physical abilities.
It's a grand event.
Which reminds me... Last year's baseball game was really legendary!
I stole a base with my flying legs.
They have appeared! Your flying legs.
Sano's intense timely hit ended the close game!
-He hit it like "Pa!" -Sano did?
The girls were going crazy like "ga, ga, ga!"
It became so intense!
Hey, Sano. It was great, wasn't it?
Don't remember.
Huh?
What's with him?
He wasn't like this before.
What do you mean?
Sano used to hold the record for high jumps.
He was always rivals with Kagurazaka of Tokyo Academy.
But he quit after getting injured.
-He has been like that ever since. -Is that so?
Even if the injury has healed, he doesn't have the courage to compete again.
Chef. Isn't there anything to eat?
Na... Na... Nakatsu and Sano were really close.
Yeah, yeah.
Before Sano quit high jumping.
During the Sports Event, that guy would always mess around until the morning.
There's no Sports Event this year?
I said there wasn't!
Why is that?
Why? Because the adults have their reasons.
What do you mean the adults have their reasons?
Adults' reasons are like... Uhh, like...
A variety of adult things that they have to think about.
Well, we really want to do it. But if it's impossible, then it's impossible.
Like if you wanted to beat my 50m record with your skinny legs. Impossible. Yeah.
You don't know.
What did you say?
You don't know if you don't try!
No, no, no. You know you can't beat it.
I don't know.
You do.
I don't.
You do.
I don't.
You do.
I don't!
Hold it tight.
Okay. It's a good line.
A good line.
Why me?
Places!
Ready.
Go, Ashiya!
Don't lose, Nakatsu!
Go, go, go, Nakatsu!
Ashiya is fast.
Go! Go!
Ashiya, 5.7 seconds. Nakatsu, 5.8 seconds.
What the hell!
Wait! Driver-chan! Hey, hey!
Nanba-senpai! Senpai!
Let's do it this year, too! The Sports Event!
Let's do it!
Okay.
Yes!
Thank you!
Which means...
We need Dorm 1 and Dorm 3 to cooperate.
I decline.
Me, too.
Then, me too... Idiots!
Come on. Do it.
Let's do something exciting for the school... like a flower blooming like POW!
It's regretful that the school is closing.
But we can't change what has already been decided.
Dorm 1 Leader Tennoji Megumi
Dorm 2 Leader Nanba Minami
Dorm 3 Leader Oscar M. Himejima
We, Dorm 1, will accept this decision happily.
For the remaining three months, we will sharpen our skills.
This will be good for us when we move to new schools.
That's all I have to say. We are leaving.
Yes.
We, Dorm 3,
are busy with preparing for the musical, "Prince of the Land of Flowers," starring Oscar M. Himejima.
Oscar M.?
Yeah, it's him. His real name is Himejima Masao.
Do not call me by that name.
Sorry.
Pursuing a new type of beauty that cannot be seen is the mission that has been imposed on me.
In other words, it is fate that the closing down of the school will help me complete my mission.
Therefore, we don't have time to worry about things like the outdated Sports Event.
Demons, follow me.
Yes, Sir.
Damn it.
If it's like this, then we have to get them to give in.
Got it.
Don't disturb our training!
About your earlier request, I think we've answered it very clearly.
Blossoms coming!
Blossom?
Yes. Blossom.
You said Blossom?
That's great.
It's like a dream!
Let's work hard together!
Be quiet!
Isn't my beauty alone enough?
♪Put out your left foot and walk on!
Yo, bathroom buddies.
Can you guys help me do some negotiating?
Negotiating?
Yes.
You two go to Tokyo Academy to convince them.
If they're okay with it, then Dorms 1 and 3...
will also be okay with it.
That's it. Thanks for taking care of it.
You go too, Ashiya.
Ye...
Yes.
It doesn't flush.
It doesn't flush!
Hey, hey.
You guys don't want to do the Sports Event?
I do, but...
See.
Sano.
I'm counting on you.
It's the school's last memory.
Fine.
Yes!
Ah. I've made her wait. Bye.
Wait, wait, wait.
I've wanted to ask before. Who is she?
My Mom. See ya.
Mum?
Everyone, please enjoy the goods.
With love from France.
From Hanayashiki Hibari.
That's our Hibari-sama.
I really want to study abroad in France, too.
Can I try it?
Go ahead.
Thank you for the food.
Ohsaka Academy has already started preparations for the Joint Sports Event.
You should know what to do.
Are you going to do it or not? Which is it?
Doing it or not...
I'm sorry to say, but our schedule is already set.
Moreover...
Huh? What?
Sorry.
Even if you do something like this,
we already know the outcome.
Okay. I'm pissed.
Nakatsu.
Student Council President, you don't know if you don't try.
Why aren't you saying anything! Hey!
What's with those guys!
What the hell are they doing!
And Sano. You should have said something!
Nakatsu.
I could talk directly to the upper years and try to get them to do it.
Tokyo Academy Kagurazaka Makoto
Really?
So, what? You can put in a word for us?
Yeah.
That's great, Nakatsu!
Oh, that's awesome.
I'll go tell Nanba-senpai!
Right now? Mizuki.
Sheesh.
It's just that...
I'm not that nice of a person.
What do you mean?
There's one condition.
What is it?
If we win,
he will come to our school.
No, no, no... What are you saying?
We want him on our track team.
But it looks like he doesn't want to jump anymore.
So, at the most, we could use him for chores. That seems to be the only way.
If you can't agree to this condition, then we have nothing to talk about.
There won't be a problem, right, Sano?
Is it okay?
Be quiet. I already said yes.
But!
We must win!
It's not because of you!
Anyhow,
we must win.
Listen up, rascals-domo! The Sports Event is on!
Let's show the Blossom girls something good!
Blossom!
We're doing it?
Blossom?
What should I do?
Should I show all my good points?
But aren't I completely filled with good points? Now what?
Could it be that I have bad points?
Tell me. Tell me!
The Sports Event is on!
That's dangerous.
Ah, sorry.
I will be more energetic this year.
Why are you working so hard? You're just a transfer student.
It's because I'm a transfer student.
I heard Nakatsu's story.
It sounded so exciting and fun.
I don't have any memories that I can retell happily.
Having nothing to tell... I don't want it to end like this.
You know...
I came here because I admired your high jumps.
Although I saw you by coincidence in America,
I was really depressed at the time.
Your high jumps...
were really beautiful and filled with strength and confidence.
After seeing that, I felt that my life changed.
You exaggerate.
Not at all.
"Hard work will be rewarded."
"All that's left is for you to believe in yourself."
Those were your words that were published in magazines.
I think so, too.
As long as you believe, something will definitely change.
Be quiet.
Crap. I'm late.
Did you forget anything?
Mukku, didn't I say you're not allowed to talk?
That voice just now...
Onii-san, you're from Ohsaka Academy, aren't you?
The Sports Event... Fight!
Nice.
Oh. Yeah.
This year, we welcome...
the 895th Joint Sports Event.
The three games are basketball, soccer and baseball. The first school to win two games wins.
Let's fight fairly!
Hey, hey. Look!
St. Blossom's Girls Academy!
They are special after all!
-Pick me! -Get out of my way!
Why do we have to do this, too?
Megumi-sama.
Amagasaki Kanna wholeheartedly awaits Megumi-sama's fantastic performance.
We definitely won't lose!
In the end, look how excited he is.
That's the power of the fiancé.
Fiancé?
A fiancé so scary and yet so cute?
You.
Is it really okay like this?
Yeah.
How many times do I have to tell you.
You really didn't think over anything?
Huh!
You do have a cute face after all.
I apologize for the sudden incident a few days ago.
I am Kishinosato Juri of St. Blossom's Girls' Academy.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
She is the Vice President of the Student Council.
Ahh.
You scum!
You were just looking at her chest, weren't you!
Huh?
Me?
Please stop, everyone. It's too improper.
Sano-sama, you look well today.
I heard you won't be taking part in the event this year.
What a shame.
Yeah.
So cool.
The first game Basketball
Dorm leader, go!
Dorm leader, hey.
Pass.
Dorm leader.
Score: Ohsaka Academy 0, Tokyo Academy 1
The second game Soccer
Hey! Himejima-senpai! Pass!
Why do I have to do that?
Just do it! Hurry! Masao-san!
Who dares to call me by that name.
Is it you? Get out of my way. Move.
You don't know what it means to "get out of my way" ?!
It's tied 1-1 now.
Score: Ohsaka Academy 1, Tokyo Academy 1
Yes. It is a surprising development.
In any case, the winner will be decided by the baseball game.
Yes.
You're Nakatsu, right?
What is it, Student Council President?
I want to give you this.
Application to Transfer Schools
It's not a bad thing.
Think about it.
That was a good shot.
Salute.
Please have a good game.
The third game Baseball
Hey, Ashiya.
Yes.
Listen up, rascals-domo.
We must win this!
Yeah!
This has to do with Sano's future.
Got it?!
Yeah!
Alright. Let's have some fun!
Wa... Wait!
Why is this about Sano's future?
You don't know?
If we lose, Sano will go to Tokyo Academy to do chores for their track team.
It's like betting on a person. You know?
Yes.
Something like that.
Let's do this!
Yeah!
Foul.
What's he doing?
Ashiya! You don't have to run!
No, no.
He doesn't even know the rules.
Sano-sama.
It's a foul. Go back.
Can't be discouraged.
Stop it.
Don't give up.
Believe in yourself.
This is what Sano taught me.
Absent from National Competition Due to Injury
That's why, this time,
I must protect Sano.
Strike.
I have to help Sano stand up again.
No matter what happens,
I can't give up.
Catch it!
Okay. Nice pitch.
I said you don't have to run!
Ashiya! Hey!
Two outs and the bases are loaded.
This is our chance to come back.
And the batter is...
Ashiya.
Strike.
Don't worry, don't worry. Don't give up!
Calm down.
Strike two.
Ashiya!
I...
I need to do what I can.
Strike.
Note: In baseball, if there are two outs and the pitcher fails to cleanly catch the third strike, the batter becomes a runner.
It's an uncaught third strike! Run, Ashiya!
It doesn't matter!
Run!
Ashiya! Run!
Turn, turn!
He is fast.
Ashiya!
This is a miracle.
It's beautiful.
Go Ashiya!
Ashiya! We win if you come back to the home plate!
As long as you believe, something will definitely change.
What did you do?
Ouch.
Ashiya! Ashiya!
Hey, Mizuki! You okay? Mizuki!
Move! Mizuki, you okay?
Ashiya! Ashiya!
He is the one who ran towards me.
Huh?
He wasn't good enough, so he had to use dirty tricks.
I can't listen to this.
-Who is the dirty one?!
You have fast legs.
What?!
You go get Umeda over here!
Go!
Move!
Sano.
Sorry.
I couldn't protect you.
It's okay.
Just don't say anything.
You know what you did, right?
What?
Don't play dumb.
Is he alright?
No need to make a big deal about a small injury.
But...
Okay. Get out, get out.
Ouch.
You get out, too.
Sano? Where's Sano?
He went back.
I'm going back to the game since I'm fine.
No need to rush.
It doesn't count.
Eh?
In the end, there was no clear winner.
What....
There's something...
more important than that.
Can you tell me the reason?
Why...
you're at an all boys' school?
Ahh... Excuse me!
You know it, don't you?
This is Dorm 2's responsibility.
You pushed for the event and even caused such a big commotion.
That's why I was against it from the start.
Ohsaka Academy will close down.
If you had accepted that in the beginning, then something like this wouldn't have happened.
Nanba.
I'm also disappointed.
We, Dorm 1, went through a lot of trouble to help you out,
but you just put a dirty mark in the school's history.
You have embarrassed those who graduated from here!
I'm sorry.
It's not like that!
This was...
Wait, wait, wait.
Everything was my idea.
I will be responsible.
I'm very sorry to have involved Dorms 1 and 3.
Ahh...
So many things happened today.
You guys should go to bed soon.
Nanba-senpai.
Whose fault is it?
You're just a transfer student, yet you're so nosy!
Wait.
You guys got riled up, too.
Mizuki, this isn't your fault. Don't listen to them.
What? Then it's his fault.
It's such a bother.
I had a feeling you were here to stir up trouble.
Huh?
What are you saying?
But, you know,
we don't have the energy anymore to deal with that kind of thing.
No matter how big the uproar is,
you can't escape the fact that the school is closing down.
What the hell!
Even you guys are saying this?!
Nakatsu... You're continuing soccer, right?
If there are bad rumors about the school, then it will be hard to get into another school -
Shut up!
What is this.
This...
isn't Ohsaka Academy!
Why are we here?
Huh?
Enough.
This is enough.
Nakatsu.
This fell on the baseball field.
Nanba-senpai,
I'm sorry...
for causing you trouble.
Everything...
is my fault.
It all started because of something I said.
If I'm...
If I'm like this forever...
I...
had a lot of fun.
This place...
I used to use this room a lot.
Like when Blossom started and ended school...
Just stupid stuff like that.
I see...
After a long time, I feel like I have found the feeling from that time.
Although it was just a lot of stupid stuff.
It was really fun.
There were lots of different guys.
Here.
That's right.
Not long after entering this school, someone ran into a third-year classroom,
yelling, "Who is the head of this school?"
People stared at him instantly.
They were saying stuff like an outrageous Yankee is in the school.
Note: A "yankee" is Japanese slang for delinquent.
If the opponent was brave enough to come,
we would have been prepared to welcome him.
But in the end, we just didn't know what he was saying.
He was just looking for the principal.
Normally, you wouldn't call the principal "head."
"There's a fight? I'll help."
"Starting today, I'm a part of Ohsaka Academy."
He said it boldly and enthusiastically. It was all your fault.
Ahh... That "Great Lunch Plan" was pretty bad, too.
"Great Lunch Plan" ?
Someone suddenly opened a lunch restaurant because he wanted money.
It tasted sooo bad.
Sure enough, it closed down shortly.
They said they wanted to go to maid cafés.
They looked so sad, so I had to do something.
I had those rascals dress up as maids. And they looked a little happier.
There are some who looked stern but are surprisingly very hard working.
There was also someone called "Ohsaka's Noble Prince,"
but he got carried away by the character...
and now he is just kind of weird.
Anyhow, it was really fun...
no matter what we did.
Even though we weren't united and all messed up,
I like Ohsaka Academy.
That's why...
don't worry about it.
Himejima, did you hear it?
Yeah. That Nanba was just babbling nonsense.
I also don't like talkative people.
It's a good school, isn't it?
Yeah.
It's disappointing that it has to end like this.
What's wrong, Yujiro?
It can't be helped...
that you want to stay here, too.
You haven't changed much. You're not frank at all.
What are you doing?
Bring that over here.
Hurry.
Okay.
Thank you.
Yes.
Let's go.
Okay.
Take that.
Hurry.
Good morning!
What's going on? What?
-What are they doing? -Hey, Ashiya.
What are you doing?
I'm fixing the water pipe.
It's a big problem if the toilet won't flush.
Why is he doing this?
This is the school where everyone has to stay for three more months, right?
I want to be here until the very end.
I guess we don't have a choice.
You're in the way. Move.
Sano.
Mizuki!
I don't know what you need, so I just brought this.
Ashiya, I think you can use this.
This too.
Thank you everyone.
No need to thank us.
For the rest of the three months,
we are Ohsaka students "to the bone."
You mean "to the core."
Anyways, everyone... let's do this!
Leave the physical stuff...
to Dorm 1.
Leave it to us!
Tennoji-senpai.
No matter what you're nurturing,
you need to create a good environment.
Himejima-senpai.
Go!
Yes!
Hey!
I brought snacks.
Eat up.
Don't fight over it.
Senpai, thanks for the food!
Okay. Someone bring that over.
Yujiro.
Mizuki, we're good.
Ashiya, we're done, too.
Turn it and feel the flow of the water.
Mercury!
That's too much.
Yes.
Ashiya, we're good, too.
Here, too.
And here.
Got it.
Let's do it.
Isn't this a little too much?
It's alright.
This is fun.
Ashiya.
Oscar is good.
