Hiya, President!
Hey, you guys!
What happened to your head?!
Oh, this?
I got my fortune told by this psychic everyone's been raving about lately.
She told me I can improve my luck by wearing ultra-flashy hairstyles.
Did... it actually work?
Sure did!
As soon as I left the house, a total hottie came up and talked to me!
Excuse me, ma'am.
May I see some identification?
He thought you were suspicious!
Gentle words
Soft feelings
Precious memories
They're dyed with love
When I'm with you, even getting caught in the rain turns into something new
What words can I string together
To keep this color from fading away?
I know
What the two of us will become on that far-off day
Isn't that right, God?
Waiting for the train, the water droplets beading up
I really wish this moment
Could somehow last forever
Is that too much to ask?
Poem 5: The Fortune Teller Girl Fortunes
Wow, that's really cool!
I love things like horoscopes
And fortune telling!
Even you can't resist girly stuff like that, huh?
So the psychic I mentioned... She only sets up shop on Sundays.
I'd like to see her!
President, please let me know
Where I can find her!
You bet! I'll message you the address.
You're not into fortune telling, Eiji-kun?
Nah, I just don't get the hype!
The whole idea of "predictin' the future" seems way too convenient.
It's all, "Who were you in a past life?" and "What do your palm lines say about you?"
Then they got "soul numbers" and "conjunctions"...
"The twenty-seven lunar mansions" this and "numerology" that...
You know a lot for someone who supposedly hates this stuff.
What's wrong?
President...
I respect you as my upperclassman, so I'm gonna say this as delicately as possible...
I...
I've never seen anyone look as dumb as you do right now!
That wasn't delicate at all!
Oh, is that it over there?
Had a feelin' there'd be a line...
Huh?! Big Sis Koto?!
Oh my! On a date, are we?
I'm guessin' you came to see the psychic, too?
That's right! I've got unique palm lines, so I wanted to have them read.
Huh...
See for yourself!
Doesn't my life line seem unusually long?
5:00 Lotion Every Hole
I'm way more concerned about the note written on your hand!
Nanako-chan, about this...
Wh-what the hell did you say to her, Big Sis Koto?!
Next guest, please.
Go ahead and take my place in line. See you later!
Now then, what would you like to know?
I want to know how
Compatible I am with
My friend over there!
J-just as friends, nothing else.
Understood. I shall determine your compatibility.
God... Just this once and then I'm never doin' this crap again!
Thank you so, so much!
Ei-chan, you really are a
Super nice person!
Gah... C'mon, cut it out!
You're gonna embarrass me!
Embarrassed or not,
I still appreciate it.
So thank you, Ei-chan!
O-okay... read our fortunes, but make it quick!
First, I'll need your names.
Of course! My name is
Nanako Yukishiro.
It's nice to meet you!
Last name: Busujima! First name: Eiji!
Pleasure to meetcha.
Nanako Yukishiro-san and Eiji Busujima-san...
Ooh, I see...
How very interesting...
This is...
I've never seen anything like it.
Wh-what's it say?
To be frank, you're utterly incompatible.
I've never seen two people as ill-suited for one another as you.
What?! A-are you serious?!
It's really that bad?!
You go together worse than an unpopular celebrity and internet trolls.
I-I don't think that's true at all...
NOTE: Tao incorrectly writes Eiji's last name using the kanji for "busu" that translates to a derogatory word for an ugly woman. Eiji Busujima Nanako Yukishiro
Allow me to give you a more in-depth explanation. Please take a look at this.
NOTE: Tao incorrectly writes Eiji's last name using the kanji for "busu" that translates to a derogatory word for an ugly woman.
NOTE: Eiji's last name is actually written using the kanji for "busu" that means "harm" or "poison."
Y-you completely screwed up the kanji for my name!
My apologies. Should I have used the other version of "shima"?
NOTE: There are two different versions of the kanji for "shima" (which change to "jima" when combined with "busu"). Tao assumes she used the wrong one.
That's not the problem!
BUSU JIMA
Wow... I didn't realize you could read that as "Busujima."
Color me shocked.
I think I should be the one sayin' that...
Using the incorrect name results in an inaccurate reading.
Shall I try once more?
I'll incorporate tarot cards this time to give you a more comprehensive reading.
N-no, that's not necessary.
'Scuse us!
Let's go, Nanako.
Are you sure?
It's totally fine!
I'm pretty happy with how
This turned out, myself!
What you said back there...
He denied it right away.
That's all I wanted!
To be frank, you're utterly incompatible.
I've never seen two people as ill-suited for one another as you.
That's impossible!
It wouldn't hurt to look...
Ooh, yes, I see...
Too bad they didn't want another reading.
Should we get goin'?
I-it's you, from before!
Oh, hello.
You go to our school?!
Yes. I'm Tao Hanakai.
Oh, please keep my identity a secret, okay?
"Secret"? All anyone's gotta do is look at you!
Not true. During the week, I disguise myself by switching up the way I part my hair.
That doesn't disguise anything.
Sorry... I stand corrected.
So, where are you two headed?
Oh, we're goin' over to Spot's Cho to get a work out.
Huh... A boy taking a girl to Spot's Cho? I'm jealou-
Oh, I mean... That sounds like a terrible time.
She got even scarier after she corrected herself!
Since you're here, allow me to read your fortunes for today.
Today is a favorable day for you, Yukishiro-san.
You will have good luck in all that you do.
As for Busujima-san...
I believe it would be in your best interest to avoid going out today.
I predict that lightning will come crashing down upon you.
Huh?! R-really?!
Um, hey, Ei-chan? I...
I'm getting kind of worried...
You feeling okay?
C'mon, Nanako. Are you still thinkin' about what she said?
Don't worry! I don't believe in all that mumbo jumbo.
Besides, blood type A is s'posed to have the best luck today!
Apparently you DO believe in it...
Um, this might be weird,
But I don't actually know
How to play billiards...
Oh, for real? It's easy!
To sum it up with a senryu...
There's balls and a pole...
Thrust the pole towards the balls,
And aim for the holes
S-sorry! That sounded bad!
There's balls and a pole...
H-hey Ei-chan, maybe
Try wording that first sentence
A bit differently!
Pardon me. May I see your ID?
Huh? Oh, of course!
Oh come on, it's not that big a deal!
This is a piece of cak-
I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die!
C'mere, Nanako! Grab onto me!
From the looks of it, I got Yukishiro-san's fortune right... so far.
What should we do next?
What about that thing you mentioned the other day?
I feel so lame coming here by myself...
But I want to know whether or not I was right...
Oh! Miss Psychic?
Thanks to you, I've had eight hot guys come up and talk to me today alone!
Who are you?
Huh?
O-oh...
We go to the same school, don't we?
Yes. Oh, that reminds me, Senpai...
Is this how you write your name?
Amane Katagiri
No, I don't use that kanji for my first name.
I'm sorry, but please stop wearing your hair like that immediately.
Man, that was a blast!
I haven't sweat that much in a while!
Plus, the weather's cleared up and there's no sign of lightning.
H-hey! Y-you can't just start stripping here...!
No need to worry!
I made sure that I wore a
T-shirt underneath!
G-gotcha... Don't give me a heart attack like that!
Oh God...
I had no idea Nanako's chest was that big...!
Nanako... Would you mind puttin' that back on for now?
Well, in a way... I guess my prediction came true.
It's almost funny how different we are
Down to our reflections in the shop window
When you smile as brightly as the sun
A peaceful feeling washes over me
Even my trivial, everyday life
Begins to shine when I'm with you
Even if something happened
Even if we hurt each other sometimes
Believe in our ordinary days
