Oshie Teruyo
Oh, Teru-chan.
Morning!
Jeez, call me "Sensei"!
Morning, Teru-chan.
I said to call me "Sensei"!
I'll be first!
Wait up!
Are you okay?
Be careful.
Oh, a delinquent.
Huh?
Oh, a delinquent.
Wow, a delinquent, a delinquent!
Uh, hey...
Oh.
Gulp!
G-Good morning, Sunao-san!
Huh?
Oh, good morning, Sensei.
"S-Sensei"?!
No! "Sensei" sounds arrogant!
Y-You can just... call me "Oshie."
Huh?!
That's not okay, though.
I'm sorry!
I'm sowwy!
Getting It Across by Spinning Your Wheels
I don't see anything that weird.
Hey, Bocchi?
I want to leave school with Honshou-san.
Hey.
Ah, it would be a dream come true for all three of us to leave school together!
Then this isn't the time to be muttering to yourself, is it?
Nako-chan?!
First, you need to go invite her.
Yeah!
You sound confident.
We're in trouble, then.
I'll do my best!
Okay, I'm going to do it now!
I'm back.
You didn't do anything, did you?
I mean...
Don't get so worked up.
You're already friends.
But what if she hates me?
The thought of her not being my friend anymore is...
Oh, the trauma from Kai-chan...
Kai-chan didn't grow to hate you, did she?
Come on. Go get her.
Honshou-san, let's go home together.
Good. Good.
Honshou—
Aru, let me see your notes!
Jeez, again?
You'll be in trouble if you don't start taking some of your own.
Go on. Go on.
But there're more people now.
Doesn't matter.
Keep going.
Keep going?
Go.
H-Honshou-sa—
Aru!
H-Honshou-sa—
Aru!
Honshou-sa—
Honshou—
H-Hon—
Honsh—
Ho—
Hon—
Ho—
Hon—
Ho—
Hon—
Ho—
Hon—
Honsho—
Ho—
Honshou-san...
What are you doing?
It's just that Honshou-san's incredibly popular.
I thought we'd always be able to be together once we were friends,
but I was wrong. Period.
Is this the time to take notes?
Come on. Follow me.
Nako-chan, that's—
You jerk.
Why?!
Hitori-san!
Go home together?
Yes.
Yeah, sure!
So, why did I get chopped?
Just because?
What do you mean?!
You really are a completely different person in the classroom.
I have a name.
Though I'm glad.
I was wondering why you weren't saying anything to me.
You thought so too, Honshou-san?
I did.
You two are the only ones who know I'm unfortunate.
Yeah, you are unfortunate.
Who are you calling unfortunate?!
You said it yourself, didn't you?
Well, I'll see you again after school, Hitori-sa— I mean, Bocchi.
Yeah!
You don't need to come, though, Nako!
I'll be there, unfortunately.
Don't say "unfortunate"!
I'm leaving school with two friends!
Well, that concludes our day.
Person on duty, time for goodbyes.
Rise.
Bow.
Thank you very much!
Well, let's go home!
Yeah.
But Bocchi...
passed out from the excitement and anticipation.
Wake up!
So you always pass out when you're happy?
Yeah.
Lately there have been so many things that make me pass out,
so I'm very happy.
I don't know whether I should be happy for you, or concerned about that.
Oh, you brought some candy?
That's surprising, considering how diligent you seem.
Nako-chan's always giving me some.
Oh, no wonder.
And my share?
You're not warning us?
I brought only two, so there's none for you.
You did that on purpose.
And I have a name!
It feels more fitting this way.
Shut up, you fake delinquent!
What do you mean by "fake delinquent"?!
You two get along well.
How?!
We don't get along well.
That's right. Not at all.
Huh? You don't get along?
I...
I was the only happy one...
And you two weren't?
Uh, hey...
Hold on. I mean, we, uh...
What do I do?
W-We're joking.
Joking.
We actually get along well.
R-Really?
Really, really.
I'm so glad you were just joking.
Aru.
Wh-What?
You can have it.
Nako...
Wait. Then you did have one for me!
It's true that I brought only two with me out of habit.
So you can have mine.
R-Really?
Thanks...
Sorry for calling you a fake delinquent.
It's fine. That's nothing.
You two are good at joking.
Because we weren't joking just now.
Come on. It's getting late.
I don't care how late it gets if I'm together with you two.
You know that's not okay, right?
Oh, then why don't we go hang out at Bocchi's house next time?
Huh?
That's not a bad idea.
Nako-chan and Honshou-san at my house?
Also, you can just use my first name like normal.
Huh?!
Bocchi.
Now you.
A-A-A-Aru-cha...
Aru-chan!
Yeah!
Huh?
You really are unfortunate.
I have a name!
They're both coming to my house!
They're not coming.
It's past the time we agreed on,
but they haven't even contacted me.
Kai-chan, I'm back to zero friends again.
Hitori
S-Sorry to keep you waiting!
Sure.
Wait. What's with that outfit?!
You didn't give me any notice,
so I didn't know what to do if you didn't show.
It's barely even a minute after the time we agreed on, right?
So is that your loungewear? Or your casual clothes?
Come in. Come in.
It's better to talk inside.
Oh, this jerk's not listening.
Oh, well.
Pardon me.
Welcome to my home!
Hey, can you hear me?
Did you get lost?
No, I passed by here before on our way home from school, remember?
That aside, Bocchi, don't you think there's something different about me today?
My room's on the second floor.
She's not listening again!
Whatever.
So just go up to the second floor?
Ah, I forgot!
Go back! Go back!
Huh? Huh?
Welcome to my home!
Come on inside!
Also, there's a step there, so please watch your ste—
Huh? Where's Aru-chan?
You just noticed now?!
And Nako-chan...
You're wearing glasses.
You're slow.
You have bad eyesight?
They're fake glasses.
I wanted to try to look good.
Then is Aru-chan off buying glasses, too?
No, Aru got called in for tennis practice at the last minute,
so she can't make it.
I see.
Why did it have to be today of all days?!
Bo
This is my room!
Come in. Come in.
Wow, it's surprisingly normal.
Do-Your-Best Fairy
Or not...
Would you prefer coffee or tea?
Huh?
Tea, I guess.
Oh, right, I bought some pudding for us.
Pudding?!
You don't like it?
Actually, I prepared some pudding for us as well.
Oh.
I know!
I'll go make mine into fried pudding right now!
Please take this cushion and wait for me!
Oh!
What is this?
I can't relax.
Good grief, she really didn't need to panic so much.
We're all out of teacups.
You broke them, didn't you?
It's not going to change how it tastes.
It's good.
Really?
Yeah.
So you should calm down and sit, too.
Sure.
So, is that your casual outfit?
It's my serious outfit!
I'm pumped up for today!
Next time, let's go shopping for clothes.
In our uniforms.
Yeah! I wonder whether Aru-chan will come with us, too!
Probably not.
She is in the tennis club, after all.
I hope we don't have a repeat of today, but...
Yeah, it's good.
What's that?
Script
Well, we have a lot to do today, so...
A script?
You made one of those again?
You sure love that stuff.
Uh, next is...
Oh!
It says you'll finish drinking your tea.
Huh?
And then I'll ask if you'd like another.
Hold on a moment!
Would you like another?
S-Sure, one more please.
Hosting, hosting...
Bocchi, tissues!
R-Right!
Here!
That's pudding!
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm totally fine.
I'm the host.
I'm the one hosting, and I caused you trouble.
I always cause you trouble.
Spilling tea, causing trouble,
spilling tea, causing trouble, spilling tea...
You're going hip-hop there.
And I was hoping to be a good host and make you happy.
Bocchi.
You can cause trouble for me. That's fine.
So don't cry.
Promise?
Hey, what's wrong?!
You have a terrible fever.
You need to get rest today.
I'll go on home, okay?
Huh?
Come on. Lie down.
No.
No!
You promised not to cry, right?
No!
You don't need to do that.
Huh? Then she's out with a cold?
Yeah.
Have you forgotten me?
This is Bocchi.
At this rate, she's probably thinking...
They'll forget me!
If I don't get better soon, they'll forget me!
Nako-chan, Aru-chan...
New Friend
Bocchi, this is my new friend.
Nice to meet you.
Huh?
Are you shy?
Don't be like that.
Everyone is everyone's friend.
New Friend
Except you.
...something like that.
There's no way...
Please don't forget me.
This is Bocchi.
The girl who sits in the corner.
I want to go home with you again.
We're friends.
I could see it.
Right?
Where are you going?
To the teacher.
I have Bocchi's homework notebook.
Teacher's Office
I'm in a huge pinch!
I need to ask Sunao-san to deliver the printouts to Hitori-san, since she's absent!
Congratulations Sakura Second Middle School Entrance Ceremony
I need to treat all students equally.
Equally...
But I'm still scared!
Resignation
Stupid Teruyo. Quit being a teacher.
Sensei.
Here's the homework notebook from Hitori-san.
Oh. Oh.
Th-Thank you very much for delivering it.
Sensei?
It's okay to call me "Oshie"!
No, it's not okay!
Also, do you happen to have the printouts I need to bring to Hitori-san?
Huh? Oh.
Thank you very much.
No, it's...
Pardon me.
Huh? Hey—
Sensei.
D-Did I do something?
No, that's not it.
I'm sorry!
I can't deal with scary people!
I can't!
Huh? H-Hey!
I'm scared!
I-I'm not...
I'm not scary!
Aru,
do I look that scary?
Shall we go deliver these to Bocchi after school?
You're ignoring me?
You give off way too strong of a "Don't talk to me!" aura.
On top of that, you have a sharp tone and a sour look on your face.
You should take some lessons from my pretty smile.
I'm not sure I want to follow the example of a secretly unfortunate person like you.
I'm not unfortunate!!
What's that?
I can't retort strong enough right here, so I wrote it down.
V! V!
Idiot.
Well, it's true you're not scary.
After getting to know you, I learned you're actually quite caring and kind.
I-It's not as if I'm saying you're kind or anything, though, okay?
No, you just said that.
I'm not unfortunate!!
Don't pull it out early.
A "Don't talk to me!" aura, huh...
What?
Oh, I was just thinking that Bocchi still spoke to me despite that.
Even after you rejected her once, right?
Yeah.
Mine!
I'm not giving it back!
It's fine.
I started bringing three today.
There.
Huh?
At moments like that, you should smile instead of frown.
Like this.
That looks so fake.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
My name is Hitori Bocchi.
My favorite food is rice with natto.
I prefer my natto finely crushed. I'm the type who saves the mustard that comes with it, so it's not wasted.
Is she seriously ill?
No, I think she's just over-thinking things in her fever and going crazy.
Hitori
This is Bocchi's house?
Yeah.
Oh, that reminds me. What about the tennis club?
It's fine.
It's not as though I even like tennis, anyway.
You really are unfortunate.
Don't call me unfortunate, and use my name!
You put those together?!
Wait, if you shout like that, then Bocchi will...
See? You woke her.
So predictable!
Nako-chan! Aru-chan!
Hey.
Good aft—
It's me, Hitori Bocchi!
Do you recognize me?!
What?
Her serious outfit...
It's me! Hitori Bocchi!
Nako-chan, Aru-chan, I'm your friend!
It's our first time meeting, isn't it?
Don't bully her.
Seems like you're already feeling better.
Yeah.
That's good.
Here you go. The printouts from school.
Thank you.
Well, we'll be waiting for you at school tomorrow.
It's boring without you, Bocchi.
Yeah.
Yeah!
I was still there, you know.
Oh, I guess I'm boring, huh?
You are unfortunate, yeah.
Don't call me unfortunate!
