A school with only good looking boys.
Who all live in dormitories, that school is Osaka High.
A new student from America has transferred there...
by the name of Ashiya Mizuki.
Gender is female.
Since Sano made the jump,
I've got no reason to stay in this school anymore.
I'm going back to America.
Why didn't you stop him?
You don't care if you never see Mizuki again?
Don't go.
Papa...
I beg of you.
Please let me stay here for a bit longer.
Ashiya!
That's not a shrine!
Oh!
Long time no see!
Did you put money in it?
We're a drama~
Gangster's drama~
Good morning.
Oh.
What's wrong?
Nah... Umm... That...
I'm glad...
that you decided to stay.
Thanks to you. Nakatsu.
Me... Me?!
Ehm.
Mizuki...
Hmm?
I...
That time, I had told you...
I need you.
that...
I'm happy.
I need Nakatsu, too.
EH?!
Is... is that right?
Then...
You'd understand without me saying a word, right?
Eh?
You... to me...
Like a friend, right?
Eh?
I consider you my best friend too.
Friend...?
Yeah? Friend...
Is that right? What a thickheaded boy~
Wait for me!
Ah~ It's been awhile since we came to school.
Another new semester begins.
I think we look like a bunch of high schoolers.
We are high schoolers.
Yeah, but!
Everyone here, except me, has the intelligence lavel of elementary students.
It's "level," not "lavel."
Good morning!
Those guys will never change.
Right? Mizuki?
Yeah.
Yo.
What? Are you in a bad mood?
No.
Don't deny it.
You were obviously fine this morning.
Don't let people put their arm around your shoulder.
Huh?
You should keep an eye on the people around you.
Why? We're all friends anyway.
That's not what I meant... I'm saying...
Why are you getting angry?
Ah!
Are you...
having your period?
Huh~?!
What? I'm kidding.
I'm just teasing.
OK! Everyone.
Sit down.
I'm still your homeroom teacher this semester...
I haven't made the jump...
in front of you...
on the official stage.
So...
Don't go.
Thank you...
Everybody from Osaka High. Good morning!
I'm the talented photographer - Hara Akiha!
I'm Hara Akiha!
I'm here to inform everyone of some very important news!
That is...
Ah?
Yay~ho~
What are you doing? You idiot.
Watch out. You're gonna get hit.
You can talk when you're dreaming.
The exit is on the other side.
Watch out! Watch out! Ah~!
Ah!
Not there. Not here.
There you are~
You really ran me over. Idiot!
Why didn't you hit the brakes?!
That's too bad!
What do you mean "too bad"?
What are you doing here?
I have work to do, of course!
Don't! Listen carefully.
Sano already jumped.
You also been recognized as a professional photographer.
You should keep your promise and stay away from this school.
But I just can't do that.
What?
Wait a sec.
Here. Look at this.
Huh?
A request to shoot an "An An" special edition?
That's right.
Please gather them around...
for...
me...
please.
You stink!
Why don't you...
What the hell is this?!
Everyone! Thank you for waiting!
Make way! Make way! Make way!
Why did you call us out all of a sudden?
OK. OK. OK.
Are you gonna suck out the essence of the hotties? I can't let you do that.
Once a woman is passed the age of 30, they can't get rid of their wrinkles.
Wanna die? Damn kid!
Okay. I'm sorry.
Let's forget about my age.
Alright.
This time, I'm not gathering you guys for a reason.
I just accepted an offer from a famous publisher.
A famous publisher?
Don't keep us guessing! Please tell us.
Look.
An An?
An An... THE An An?
About "An An"...
It includes information on all the latest fashions,
popular among middle schoolers all the way to grannies.
A super famous magazine.
Sekime is incredible. He knows everything.
So then, in this special edition of "Hotties on the Street"...
You guys will be the models and I'll be shooting it.
Model...
It suits me perfectly.
I must make Osaka High nationally well known.
It'll make us even more popular!
Wait! Wait a minute!
It's unfortunate. Not everyone can participate.
Only four people chosen by me can be in the magazine.
Eh? Why is that?
In that case, please share my beauty with the world.
No, it should be my physical beauty.
If you choose me, then my guardian will be with me also.
I've already made my choice.
Huh?
I'm announcing it.
Drumroll!
Tennouji! Tennouji! Tennouji!
First off. The first person is...
Nanba Minami-kun!
Alright!
That's well deserved.
The second person is...
Nakatsu Shuichi-kun!
Thank you! Thank you! Baby!
Please choose our dorm head!
Otherwise we'll be in trouble!
The third person is...
Sano Izumi-kun!
That's great! Sano.
I'm not going.
Why not? It's a pity.
Not interested.
Since he declined, then we shouldn't force him.
Please go on.
Next.
The last person will be...
Please choose me.
Tennouji! Tennouji! Tennouji!
Ashiya Mizuki-kun!
Me?
Oh~ That's great! Mizuki!
Let's do our best!
Oh!
How come you only chose from Dorm 2?
What was your criteria?!
Dorm head! Calm down!
You gonna participate?
Of course.
I think it'll make me look cool~
You...
Being a model...
You don't know what kind of clothes you'll be asked to wear...
It'll be fine.
I'm looking forward to it.
That's not what I'm saying...
You might have to go... nude...
Eh?
What?
So!
Who is willing to replace Sano-kun then?
Me! Me! Me! Me!
I'll do it.
Eh!?
Hanazakari no Kimitachi e ~ikemen paradise~ Episode Eight
Translator: Kai200X
Hey! We don't have much time!
Mizuki!
Let's do "An An"!
I was about to wake him up.
Oh. Oh.
It...
Here.
hurts!
Let's go.
This is the Principal's request.
It's an emergency.
We'll be doing a personal interview in a week.
Peking Ape Man?
It's a "personal interview."
It's a "personal interview"!
We've never done anything like this before.
Why all of a sudden?
I can't tell you that right now.
It must be one of the Principal's practical jokes, right?
NO!
That's not true.
This time.
She's never spoken to me this seriously before.
Eh...?
Somehow, this time it feels totally different from before.
What's the interview about?
I'm sorry!
Sorry.
I can't answer you.
Excuse me.
Apparently,
this interview...
is extremely important!
A personal intervew, huh?
Amazing!
Good morning!
It feels refreshing, right?
How are you? I'm Nanba Minami. I'm just playing.
Ah~! Don't touch the camera.
Oh.
Mizuki!
Mizuki! Look!
Amazing! They even have this kind of clothing.
Oh~ Juliet.
Oh~ Romeo.
Why are you Romeo?
That's because, I'm gonna tell you why...
Juliet is a woman.
Of course. I already know that...
Come and choose your clothes.
Yes~
Juliet.
Juliet!
Ju...
Calm down, Romeo.
Choose whatever you like, but hurry up.
Incredible.
Which one should I choose?
Oh! Mizuki!
This one is pretty good.
So cute!
It looks good.
Wear this one.
It looks so plain.
Don't talk back. Wear this one.
Hey. Mizuki said he liked this one better.
This one.
This one!
Definitely this one!
Hey.
Hurry up and choose.
Yes~
So...
make me look cool.
I'm not asking you to pretend to be cool, I'll make you look cool.
Got it? Let me do my job.
OK.
Then, let's scream.
Eh?
You want me to scream?
AHHHHH~!
Wahhhhh!
A little louder. AHHHHHHHH!
AH!
A little more!
AH!
Good!
Next. Let's laugh!
So happy!
So funny!
So happy!
Good.
Amazing...
It's almost like casting a magic spell.
Indeed. It's different from the usual Nanba-senpai.
Try and take a deep breath.
Ashiya-kun. Is there anyone you like?
Eh?
Then, try and think about that person.
Just as I thought...
It's me.
Then, let's call out that person's name.
Eh?
I can't possibly say it.
Say it.
Eh? Why? I don't want to.
Just say it already.
No.
You like...
Shut up!
Excuse me.
Good. Good.
Relax.
Next, let's try sitting down.
Ah. Hey. Hey. Hey. Please let me join Mizuki. Please! Please!
Please!
I guess it can't be helped.
Okay, the two of you.
Thank you so much!
Why are you here?
Let's begin!
OK! Act more natural.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
"Principal's Office"
"I still think the personal interview is...
"strange..."
"Indeed..."
"But why the disguise?"
Shut up!
"But why come to the Principal's office?"
"Director Sawatari is inside.
"He and the Principal are probably...
"Con-
"Con-nec-
"Con-nec-ting. "
Principal.
Yes.
The personal interviews that will take place next week are progressing nicely.
Eh?
Ah? That...
I'm already following your instructions,
and going through the screening process and careful selection.
Please don't worry.
Screening process?
Careful selection?
"Use hand signals!"
Yes.
Only keep the good quality ones,
and dispose of the bad ones.
Keep the good ones...
Dispose of the bad ones...?
This time something terrible is gonna happen!
Are you bored?
Eh?
You feel like an idiot if you put in too much effort?
That's not what I was thinking.
Or maybe...
you're afraid of getting photographed being yourself?
Running away?
So, you're a coward.
Just get it over with.
Very good expression, give me more glare!
Even more glare!
Sano-kun, more glare!
So cool! Sano-kun!
So... cool~
Glare.
A little more.
"The Principal...
"and Director Sawatari's...
"telephone conversation."
The telephone conversation between the Principal and Director Sawatari...
Going through a careful selection,
only the good ones will stay
and the bad ones will be...
disposed of.
Dispose what?
So that means...
A personal interview will determine the outstanding students who will stay and
the bad ones will be expelled from the school.
Eh?
Expelled?
How can this be?
I think I've heard from somewhere that the school is facing difficulties.
If so... Could it be...
Closure!?
Is it true?
The school is gonna be closed down?
Hey.
You...
Haven't you paid for the tuition?
Dorm fees?
Material fees?
Meal fees?
Education fees?
Electric fees?
Monkey?
Ou Yang Fei Fei? (famous Taiwanese singer, popular in Japan as well)
Love is over~
Don't cry. We are men. I...
Hey.
So what happens after the interview?
We'll probably be transferred to the London or Madagascar campus.
Not like this.
Is it the truth, or not...?
Back to the dorm.
I'm gonna call for an Emergency Meeting!
Jumbo!
We better hurry up and discuss our Emergency Strategy.
Go ahead!
Oui!
When are you gonna finish singing?
We better do something about it too.
But, Nanba-senpai is not here...
What is he doing at this critical time?
Nanba-senpai!
Senpai!
I had fun.
Senpai was cool.
You're not bad yourself.
Why... did you stop Mizuki from leaving that time?
No reason.
Eh?
You...
Are you willing to accept men?
Let me tell you beforehand.
I'm already willing to accept men!
So...
I want to find out what you really think...
Sano.
Can you accept men...
Are you having fun?
Let him get away~
Our school's going to be abolished.
It seems to be the obvious truth.
In order for the personal interview to be a success.
For that...
We should do a simulated interview.
I'm Tennouji Megumi.
Please sit.
Excuse me.
What's your reason for choosing our company?
Umm...
I was very impressed by the globalization of this company.
Hey!
Nitwit.
What the hell is "globalization"?
Huh?
You don't have an answer?
Go home if you don't have the motivation.
Get lost.
What? You bastards!
Kanna...
Do... your... best.
We looked at your school grades.
You are a freaking moron.
What did you say to your Dorm Head!?
What is that?
You... want to hit somebody?
Kanna...
"Personal Interview Screening"
I'm entry No. 27 - Oscar M. Himejima.
Hobby is bonsai. Specialty is dance.
I want to be a famous Hollywood Dancer in the future.
Incorrect!
That's all wrong!
Shut up!
Please don't criticize my art.
You need more passion!
Twist your waist!
Twist?
Let's dance!
Let's get together. GO!
Ah~ I'm so hungry.
Nakatsu, let's go eat.
What's today's special?
Breaded pork on rice?
Set meal?
It's hot, so hot.
Hey. Put your shirt back on.
Why?
You're lightly dressed.
Sano, you're acting weird lately.
That's because you don't pay attention to your surroundings.
Sort of...
like a father.
Father?
Father...
Hey!
Dorm Head!
What's wrong?
Let go of me! Don't get so close!
It's a disaster!
The school is going to be closed down.
Eh?
Huh? What's going on?
The school is gonna disappear.
Huh?
It's a lie...
It's finally finished!
Look!
My fingers...
I decline!
If you don't then I'm gonna kiss you.
Then I must look, even it means death.
What do you think?
That's it?
Wait... Nothing else to say?
It looks professional, right?
That's a very professional photograph indeed.
But to me, I still like your usual photographs of those guys more.
Eh?
Foolish and naive smiles of guys who only care about having fun right now.
I like that.
Please!
That's why I shouldn't show it to amateurs.
I can't talk to you.
Later.
Hotties are Japan's wealth.
Your donations will help Japan's future.
Hottie...
Hooray!
What is a hottie?
What is it?
Hottie Relief Fund. Please donate.
Can it really solve the school's problem?
Relief fund to help save the school...
It's perfect!
Senpai.
What is perfect?
We only have one week. We haven't raised any money yet.
Are you thinking even if the school closes,
you can still be a model?
Eh?
So it's true...
Sorry! Please help us!
Please reach out with your loving hands to help us hotties!
What are you doing?
Hey!
Kagurazaka! What are you doing here?
Looking for Sano.
Sano's on the field. Get outta here!
Don't.
Surprisingly, this guy is a good guy.
Stop joking!
If a good guy heard this school was gonna be closed down, he'd surely donate some money.
The school's going to be closed down?
Yeah, that's right.
In that case, Sano will probably be transferred to the Madagascar campus or something.
If you don't want this to happen,
then donate your money!
Here.
Not enough?
Not at all!
Let me shine your shoes?
That hurts.
Umm...
Could it be...
Are you Ashiya-kun?
Yeah.
I brought "An An."
Me too.
Could I have your autograph?
Then, I'll start from this side.
Hey, Nakatsu.
What is that... "An An"?
We recently became models. Models.
Ah. Forgot to mention. Sano too.
Sano...
A model?
There are still 1,829 more bookstores in Tokyo.
We can't let Sano-sama's beauty out for the world to see.
Most of them are already sold by now...
Be quiet, Komari!
But...
Ah!
Someone over there bought one too.
This...
How much are you willing to sell it for?
Huh?
She even wants to retrieve the ones that are already sold...?
Ah~ We already worked so hard for this school.
But Sano's not a part of it.
He can't help it.
This is an important time for him to get ready for the Nationals in the fall.
So we have to help him out.
OK. OK~
But... will the school really close down?
Who knows?
With my soccer talents, I think I can get a recommendation for any school I want.
I don't want this school to be closed.
Yeah.
You just decided that you wanted to stay in this school, right?
No. It's not like that.
I finally got along with everybody so well...
If we have to go our separate ways...
I'll feel lonely...
You...
Don't always make lousy speeches like that.
After we get separated,
I won't have the chance to say it.
Why... that is indeed lousy.
No.
Not lousy at all.
It would be lonely.
Oh.
Alright!
In order for our school to survive.
Please give your donations!
Please!
Let's go over there!
Io-san!
For the sake of the school, you worked very hard.
Are you afraid that you can't stay by Sano-kun's side?
Io-san~
True. I wouldn't like not being able to see Sano...
But that's not the only reason.
I'm finally getting to know everyone gradually.
It'll be sad if we get separated like that.
It's okay even if the school is closed down.
Eh?
It's not the school that connects you guys together.
If the connection between you guys is really solid...
You guys can meet anywhere, anytime you want.
What's important is...
the feelings you have for Sano and everyone else, right?
Actually, Minami already came to me.
Nanba-senpai?
He told me if the school closes down and everybody gets kicked out...
he's hoping I can hire everyone.
It seems that he really loves this school no matter what happens.
Ah. Don't tell Minami what I told you.
Okay.
You must cherish your sincerity.
Whatever happens, I'll always be on your side.
Io-san...
Keep it up.
I see. I see.
Issekii-nichou, how much do you have?
889 yen.
That's not good enough.
I'm Sekime. Try to remember.
What is that?
Ah.
A curse?
You can laugh at us now.
We'll come out from the personal interview, victorious!
Wrong!
Be more passionate and twist your waist!
Twist!
Let's dance.
Sano.
You gotta help out too.
It looks like this school might really be gone.
Hey.
What is it?
How can you behave as though nothing has happened?
You don't care if this school is gonna close down?
Do you really think that way?
It's impossible.
It could be like what you say.
It's possible that someone has magnified the situation.
But no one can be a hundred percent certain about this.
You're always like this.
You always act like you know everything.
You don't want to be a part of the circle at all.
So what if I'm not part of the circle?
So are you saying that this school...
is only for you to do the high jump?
Is that the only important thing to you?
If that's the case...
Unforgivable.
While you were practicing...
Why do you think nobody has complained?
That's because Mizuki is taking on your share of work too.
Because everyone around you is giving you support.
So you can be yourself and behave however you like, for the first time.
Stop thinking that you can survive on your own.
Sano...
Nakatsu...
Hey. Nakatsu...
Sano. What's wrong?
Good morning.
You're so lucky.
Having your picture taken like this.
So cool.
So good.
So jealous.
The four of you looked so cool.
I like this pose.
I wanted to be there too.
Me too.
The closure of this school is inevitable.
It's great that we can keep some good memories.
Let's get everyone together.
Everyone?
The whole crew.
The whole crew?
The whole crew!
Wait... tell me where we're going.
When are you gonna stop running?
Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! The health room is that way!
Over here! Over here!
Where is "here"?
Hey! I'm wearing high heels!
What is it?
We're very busy doing simulated interviews.
We're also very busy practicing our dance moves!
I don't really know.
Wait...
What's going on?
Everyone, let's take a picture.
Picture?
At a time like this?
Because it's such a time.
We're going back.
Ah. Wait a minute.
Because of our situation...
I want to preserve this moment right now, when everybody is gathered together.
Hey. Let's go.
Even though...
Even though I can't say it well...
But when I'm with everyone, I feel happy.
I have fun.
So... let's take pictures together.
It can't be helped.
Let's take some good ones.
Baby!
This is not the whole crew!
Sano's not here.
I'll bring him here.
That guy won't show.
He never shows.
No problem. He will show.
Sano!
Let's take pictures with everyone!
I'm good.
Seriously...
C'mon. Let's go together!
Sorry.
Hey!
Have you opened your eyes?
I...
I know in reality you're always thinking about your friends.
So...
It's time to take action.
I'll support you if I can.
Peach!
If you want my ass then you can have it...
What the hell are you singing?
Thank you guys for waiting!
Hurry and come over here.
Sano's here.
It's unbelievable.
You're late. Idiot!
Hurry up.
Then. Let's begin.
Okay. Get ready.
What a nice scene.
Even though they look like morons.
I think it suits me better this way.
Okay. Get ready!
You all look so stiff, try to loosen up!
Nakatsu! Too close!!
Don't push!
It stinks! Who is it?
It's me.
Hey! It hurts!
It's not me. It's Sano. Sano.
Those pictures are pretty good, right?
Yeah, nice expressions.
They seem to be happy.
Principal.
Just in time.
It looks like there's no need to go ahead with the personal interviews.
Everybody looks very happy.
I think in this case, it's unnecessary to ask them - "Do you like this school?"
Yes.
About that thing, I've already followed your instructions.
Those coffee beans went through the screening process and careful selection.
Of course, I'll keep the good ones and dispose of the bad ones.
Please don't worry.
What the hell... It was coffee beans.
What a mix up.
In any case, as long as the school is okay.
Let's cheer "Hooray"!
So then...
Ready...
Hooray!
Hooray! Hooray!
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
I'm glad.
The school doesn't have to be closed down.
Oh.
I can't take it anymore, so I'm gonna say it.
I like Mizuki.
Because of that...
I'm definitely not gonna lose.
Period.
