Yena's Family Home
Yena, how has school been since you started living as a girl?
All students of Seton Academy live in a dorm, but many return home on weekends
Have you had any trouble?
Nothing's changed, really.
I just feel a little awkward using the women's hot spring.
Really? Glad to hear it.
You're still the same Yena, after all.
Exactly.
Huh?
Even if you don't act like a female, it's best to just be yourself.
That's right!
Not like... a female?
What's it mean to be "like a female"?!
I tried fighting like a female,
but I feel like there's something fundamentally off about this...
Female
Fighter's Brain
If I'm going to be a female, I want to be a female among females!
But what am I supposed to do to seem more female?
I wish there was some model female that I could imitate.
Yena-chan...
You can use this if you want.
Female
S-So female...
What's wrong?
You're so female!

Jin!
Hey!
Jin!
So cute!
Look, Kuromori! That cute little thing is my baby sister!
Jin! Jin! Jin!
Get off of me!
I am aware.
You're still not going to talk to her?
You fool!
If she finds out I'm here, she'll tell me to go home again!
I want to keep watching her forever and ever!
Oh, my sister's here again.
Besides, Ranka's—
Hey!
Please let me join your pack!
You again?
Yes! I'm Anamitsu Tel, the one you saved that one time!
Hmph. You sure are tough for picking on small animals, you scum.
Hey, you all right, shrimp?
You're unhurt?
Yes!
I want to be strong like you were back then!
So please let me join your pack!
I'll be useful to you, so please let me join!
Please! Please!
I see I've become a weirdo magnet...
Listen, kid. We're a wolf pack.
If you're not a wolf...
Then what about her?
Her? Um...
What is she doing?
That guy's wearing a female's uniform?!
Hey!
Are you in the boss's pack, too?
Huh? No, I'm not in any pack.
Then why are you here?
I've been observing a female.
Female?
You mean that wolf?
Good morning, you two.
Oh, Hitomi!
No, I'm observing that human female.
Morning.
What're you reading?
It's a book I just bought the other day.
I want to learn what it means to be like a female from her.
Oh, really?
Oh...
Like a female?
I don't get it.
She was so insistent that she was a male before...
How things change.
I made up my mind that I'll be the most female among females!
Like a real man!
I see! Good luck!
Thanks!
Wait, who are you?
The newest member of the boss's pack, Anamitsu Tel!
You're not a member of my pack.
Aw...
Why not just let her join?
What have you got to lose?
No!
The only female in our pack is the boss.
It's a rule that we don't let other females join.
Why can't females join?!
The only little sister I need is Ranka!
Oh! That means...
If I defeat this Ranka person, I can be your little sister!
Huh?
Wrong! And don't do that!
I'll do my best to beat her!
Hey! Stop!
Ooh! Whee!
What the heck is her deal?!
Well, you guys just do your best at what you gotta do.
Right...
Cafeteria
Time to eat.
Right.
Uh...
How was that?
Huh? Um, I...
Did I seem... like a female?
Um... You seemed like you, Yena-chan. It was cute.
It didn't work?!
I'm doing the same thing as you! How is it different?!
Why are you trying to imitate me, anyway?
Because I made up my mind to be a female,
and as I see it, you're the ideal female.
I want to be the kind of female who reeks of femininity, like you!
That was meant as a compliment, right?
If you're having trouble, why don't you talk to the other cooking club members?
I can't be that pathetic!
I really think you should talk to other people, too.
There are some things I don't understand myself.
Ugh...
Cooking Room
I guess I'll have to.
So we were hoping all of you could help her out.
I see.
You look nice in the female uniform, Yena-san.
Why are you hanging around Hino-san, again?
I made up my mind to live as a female,
Hey, what's this girl like?
but I didn't know how, and then I saw her and decided
Well...
that I would follow her example!
What?! She's female, but she has a d*ck?!
It's true! She really does have a d*ck!
I-It's not on public display!
So basically, you're saying you want to be like Hino-san?
Exactly!
She's the most feminine student at this school.
Not happening.
Huh?! Why not?!
You're a male! What do you know?!
Okay, so try imitating Hino-san, then.
But I already have been.
What?! Hino-san doesn't speak in such a vulgar tone!
Your eyes look mean!
You're sloppy!
Your uniform's dirty!
You fall short of Hino-san in every way!
Why do you know so much about Hitomi, anyway?!
Are you a stalker?!
Wha... You... N-No! It's not like that!
I know!
Why doesn't Hitomi-san try imitating Yena-san instead?
Huh?
Sounds fun!
We'll mess up her uniform a bit!
Spread your legs more!
And make a scary face!
Y-You wanna fight, punk?
Do I look that sexy to everyone else?
Not at all. Not even remotely. Just give it up.
Excuse me?!
You know there's no way you'll ever be like that.
I will be like that!
If I really get serious, I can be just as...
Just as...
That's what happens?
Hello!
Who are you?
I'm Anamitsu Tel! I'm a honey badger!
Ranka-san! Please fight me!
What? Why?
Please! Fight me!
No way!
Why should I do that?
I'm gonna defeat you and—
We're busy. Come back later.
What was that girl's deal?
No idea...
There you are!
Hey! Don't try to do anything stupid like fighting Ranka-san!
If you even try to do that...
The honeyguide.
A bird that primarily feeds upon honeybee larvae and hives.
The honey badger, also known as the ratel, loves honey,
so it shares a symbiotic relationship with the honeyguide,
as it leads them to sources of honey that they can't find on their own.
This is the best honey I've ever had!
Whee!
Of course, if I can't stop you, I'll also be—
Hey! Wait!
Give it a rest already!
Don't think for a second that a beast like you can imitate Hino-san!
Shut your mouth! I'm gonna do it!
A man never goes back on his word!
Here. Your ribbon's crooked.
O-Oh...
You need to dress properly.
Yena's rigorous Hitomification training
involved the cooperation of the whole cooking club.
Over time, Yena began to develop a female mentality,
and her behavior and attitude
gradually became more and more feminine.
Yena, you seem really different now than when you came home last time.
Well, that's because
a girl I'm friends with at school has been—
A friend...
...who's a girl?!
She's teaching me how to act like a female.
Is it... weird?
It's great! Absolutely great!
Oh, good.
Great! Absolutely great!
Yummy!
Seton Academy: Join the Pack!
Brown bear!
Seton Academy: Join the Pack!
Honey badger!
Wow!
You're sort of looking the part now.
You look cute, Yena!
Thanks.
Yena-chan!
You did it! You're every bit a girl now!
Thanks to you, Hitomi!
It didn't even look like you were biting into a bone!
I just love the cerebrospinal fluid in them.
I know! Let's all go pick flowers together!
I'd rather pick eucalyptus!
Let's go with bamboo!
It's like she's turned into something else that's not like Hitomi-chan.
But... first...
Hyenas can eat bones by biting through them with their powerful jaws.
But although they eat bones, they can only digest the organic components.
The hard fragments that make up the rest, like bones and claws...
are regurgitated as a pellet.
Are you even trying, damn it?!
What girl vomits up undigested food?!
It's biological! I can't help it!
Damn it!
Does this mean I can never be the kind of female Hitomi is?
Yena-chan...
Damn it...
Damn it!
Can't you just be a tomboy?
Meimei-chan, what do you mean?
Well, pandas are carnivores that seem like herbivores.
Pandas are... carnivores?
That's right. We just eat bamboo because we like to.
Although pandas are carnivores, over the course of evolution,
eating tons of bamboo made them lose their taste for meat.
What's wrong with living the way you like? Meh!
Meh★
I-I...
Oh! I found you, Ranka-san!
She's back!
This time, I'm gonna fight—
Why's a hyena dude in a skirt getting all buddy-buddy with these punks?
I guess it's true that you turned into a female.
So are you copying these weak humans to try to seem more feminine?
You guys...
Whoa, there. Make any funny moves, and there's no telling what'll happen to her.
You guys aren't acting like males.
It's because I'm a male that I can do this without thinking twice!
It's called survival of the fittest!
Why don't you get it over with, then?
Jin?!
Jin-kun?
Jin-san?
We cooking club members don't stand a chance against lions.
So do it. Be a male.
Fine! I will!
Huh?
This is bad! We have to do something!
She'll be killed!
Stop...
Stop! She'll die!
Like a male...
Jin! Do something!
You brutes!
She's actually fine, though.
The honey badger's weapon is the protection given by its thick pelt.
Its pelt is so tough and
pliable that even the fangs of lions and hyenas can't penetrate it.
Hurr...
Sparkle, sparkle!
This little...
It looks like I was so focused on little details that I lost sight of myself.
Yena-chan?
What the hell?
Weren't you gonna start acting like a female?!
Boxers?!
I am...
a male!
I am
a male!!
This is definitely who I am!
Y e n a
R e t u r n s !!
Where'd that little runt go?
If she's picking fights with Ranka-sama again—
Ranka-san! Please fight me!
That beating they gave her didn't affect her at all?
Well, she's a honey badger.
Ranka-san! Please fight me!
Give me a break, will you?
There's no reason for us to fight.
Yes, there is!
I don't want to!
I have to defeat you and...
I said no!
Please!
No! No!
Fight me! Fight me! Fight me!
No! No! No! No! No! No! No!
Hold up.
If you can beat me, I'll let you fight Ranka.
Yena?!
I believe in repaying favors right away.
Besides...
You seem pretty strong.
Her Fighter's Brain Is Also Back
Okay! I'll beat you, and then challenge Ranka-san!
Bring it on!
I will be a wolf!
What does that mean?
Here I come!
That reeks!
Honey badgers store an intensely stinky fluid
in the scent glands near their tails,
which they can spray at will.
I did it! I defeated Ranka-san!
Wait! It's not fair to say you won that way!
Our fight isn't over—
Oh, boss! I won!
What did you just do to my little sister?!
Ranka!
Are you okay, Ranka?
Ouch, ouch, ouch...
Wait, it hurts?
This is pain? But I didn't feel anything when the lions beat me up!
How cool! This is the first time I've felt pain!
Ouch
Ouch! This really hurts!
Is she happy to be in pain? What a weirdo.
Looks like I don't need to hold back with you.
Onee-chan?
Ranka!
Ranka-san!
So you're the boss's little sister, Ranka-san!
You're so small, I couldn't tell!
Huh? Boss? You're talking about Onee-chan's pack?
Yes! Thanks to you, I was able to join her pack!
I did not let you join!
Ouchie!
Onee-chan let another animal in her pack?
That's great!
I'm so happy, Onee-chan!
Ouchie!
That's right!
She's an important member of our pack.
That's awesome, Onee-chan!
Thank you, thank you...
You finally understand that you can be friends with other animals!
Stupid... giant... wolf...
Really? You think I'm awesome?
Yeah! You're awesome, Onee-chan!
This is my precious packmate, the shrimp!
Yena-chan?
Shrimp!
Imagine these on Yena.
I can't wait.
Hey, Dad! Bro!
I'm back to being a male!
Just came to let ya know! Later!
Oh... She's going to be a male again.
And we got her these in secret thinking it would make her happy...
This was Yena's decision.
Besides...
Did you see that face?
Yena's always tended to run off without seeing
I'm a male!
anything when absorbed in something.
That's what makes Yena who she is...
My son.
Dad...
Still, let's hold on to this stuff.
For the future.
Yeah.
Cafeteria
Hitomi.
Yena-chan!
Oh... Yena... kun?
Either's fine.
You look nice in that uniform, too.
Thanks. This one really feels more right to me.
You know, I never actually thanked you.
Thanks, Hitomi. You helped me out a lot.
Yena-kun...
You really are a great female!
Oh, please... I didn't do anything.
I know! You can have some of my food!
Here. Open wide.
Uh, that's—
Hey!
You're not gonna thank us, you stupid hyena?
Oh, you're here, too? I didn't notice.
Thanks!
Here, Hitomi.
Cut it out!
That's getting way too cozy!
What? You wanna fight me for Hitomi?
Bring it on, beast! I'll murder you!
Be nice, okay?
You don't even understand how girls think.
You look good in that.
Shut up!
Yay! Yay!
Now, listen. Now that you're part of our pack, you'll start as a—
Ooh! Whee!
Hey! Listen to me!
Awoooo
A herbivore and a carnivore can never understand each other.
Don't worry. I'll protect you.
Captain...
But I...
Yo, yo, yo!
Show off in front of us, will ya?
Damn normies!
Captain?!
Looks like you just got dumped, cutie!
Eek!
Kin-kun! Why...
After what I did to you...
You might find it pathetic,
but I cannot forget you, nor can I bear a grudge against you.
It matters not if I can never be your king,
or even if I cannot be near you.
But please allow me to at least be the knight who protects you.
I'm sorry, Kin-kun!
I was lying when I said I wanted to focus on track!
The truth is that I was scared!
I was scared by how much I was starting to like you!
There's no way a lion and an impala could ever...
For you, I would forsake my identity as a lion.
Let us eat grass, run upon the fields, and live our lives together...
As impalas.
Kin-kun...
Shiho-dono...
Kin-kun...
Shiho-dono...
Shiho-dono... Shiho-dono...
K-Kin-kun? Wait... No!
Stop!
I'm not in heat right now!
Kin-kun, you jerk!
Next Time
Yena here.
Even if I'm a female, I'm still a male.
Ferrill here.
I still love Ranka like crazy.
It seems all the students are going to the beach next time.
What!?
Won't Ranka be lonely without me!?
Don't worry. She'll have her friends,
and besides, you're just gonna butt in anyway, aren't you?
Well, I'll miss her! Rankaaaaaaa!!!!
