01x02 - Pull Down the Iron Curtain!

[bunniefuu]

In this story, my friend Sunako

is supposedly going to be remodeled into a
lady by those four Creatures of the Light.

Good luck to us!

We can do this if we put our minds to it!

We're gonna change Sunako Nakahara into
a respectable and lovely lady!

Noooooo!
We're gonna change Sunako Nakahara into
a respectable and lovely lady!

We're gonna change Sunako Nakahara into
a respectable and lovely lady!

My heart hurts...

NOOOOOOOOO!!
Absolutely not!

Okay, I'm going to lift your bangs.

Sunako...

Because... Because...

Just leave her alone!

As long as she's not willing
to make any changes,

there's nothing you can do with her,
no matter what you try!!

It's no time to be talking in
such a leisurely fashion!

What are we gonna do about the rent?!

Oh, I know this isn't the right
time to mention it,

but our bathroom is broken so we have to
use the one downstairs until it's fixed.

I don't want to change. I don't need to change.
but our bathroom is broken so we have to

Hey, why are you so against
showing us your face?

Say it!

No!
Say it!

No!
SAY IT!

NO!
SAY IT!

NO!

I said, say it, damn it!

No means no!
I said, say it, damn it!

No means no!

I'm going to throw this away!

I'm going to count three!







A long time ago!

THROB
The guy I had a crush on
told me I'm ugly and...

I hate ugly girls.
The guy I had a crush on
told me I'm ugly and...

The guy I had a crush on
told me I'm ugly and...

And?

And?

Is that all?!

Up until then, just like any other person would,
I'd worry about my acne, go on a diet

and even look at myself in the mirror everyday.

I hate ugly girls.
and even look at myself in the mirror everyday.

I hate ugly girls.
So, what else could I do about it?

So, what else could I do about it?

If nothing would get me anywhere, then I'd
rather not do anything in the first place.

I'd just have to stop worrying about
my face or being a girl...

altogether.

Sunako...

If I don't look at myself in the mirror,

I don't have to compare myself
with the cute girls.

If I look at it that way, it's fun and
really easy to be alone.

I don't get it. You're talking
about just one guy, right?

Isn't that enough?!

Get out!

Sunako's Room
Get out!

Get out!

Hmm, so she used to be normal before, huh?

She doesn't have to worry about
what other people think.

Maybe that's how much she liked that guy.

But at any rate, what a jerk-off for
saying such a cruel thing.

It's always the ugly dudes
who call girls ugly.

Oh, man, look at the time!

Kyohei, you can go ahead and take a bath.

Huh? Yeah!
Looks like he's about to do just that right now.

I've managed to hide my face from other
people for the last two years,

so why... why would I cut my bangs now?

Why should I have to go through this anyway?

Why am I hearing the sound of the shower?

Shower?

Oh my god, I saw it.

Even worse, that beautiful creature had to
have seen my disgusting, flabby body.

So I was really surprised and
jumped out the window.

I did tell her that we have to
share the same bathroom,

but maybe Sunako wasn't listening to me?

"Wasn't listening" ain't gonna cut it!

Now, now...

Anyway, Kyohei...

What?

Did you see?

Eeew!
Don't splash your snot all over the place!

It's just saliva!
Go put your clothes on!

What's all the commotion?

Oh, don't even bother yourself.

Welcomed by princesses, eh?

You okay? Did you catch a cold or something?

It's nothing.

All four of them are walking together!

All four of them are living together, right?

Is this paradise or what?

I wanna go there and hang out!

Ladies-nne!
I wanna go there and hang out!

Ladies-nne!
Huh?

What's all the racket?

Laseine!

Madaleine!

Roxanne!

Yvonne!

Please let the Goth-Loli Sisters
worship them too!

I'm going to seduce Ranmaru-nne at night!

I'm going to lay right next to Yukinojo-nne!

I'm going to wash Takenaga-nne's
back in the bath!

And I'm going to put handcuffs on Kyohei-nne!

And that is our dream as their groupies!

There they are, the Goth-Loli Sisters...

How dare you stare at Kyohei-nne and
the others in such a casual manner?!

It pisses me off-nne!

Off-nne!

Off-nne!
Off-nne!

Off-nne!

Off-nne!

Oh, no! Who is that sloppy looking woman?!

Why is she walking so close to them,
completely disregarding us?!

It's intolerable-nne!

Then please switch with me.

Nne?!

For some reason I'm hearing this evil-sounding
voice echoing in my head.

Oh, the beautiful dark angel that exists
in the deep underground called Hell!

Goth, goth!

Loli, loli!

Hi, guys! Good morning!

Hey, Noi!

S.. So radiant again!

Kyohei, we're gonna go ahead,
so take care of the rest.

See you later, Sunako!

Damn!

Jeez, there's no chance for us
now that Noi is here.

I don't want to be close to her
and get compared!

There's no need for you to compare
if you don't look at your face.

So, your name is Sunako?
Oh, how I wish I could tell everyone that.

Oh, how I wish I could tell everyone that.

I wish I could tell everyone that.

My name is Noi Kasahara! Nice to meet you!

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine. This tends to happen
whenever I see beautiful people.

I'm so happy! She said I'm beautiful!
Did you hear that, Takenaga?

He's gone!

What's with your attitude?!

You know I'm always like this!

Well, it's not cute at all!

I don't wanna hear that from you!

What did you say, you grumpy thug?!

What... what Creatures of the Light...

Tie up

Come on, let's go!

Huh? What?

See you later, Sunako!

Wh.. Wh.. What was that? She got tied up
by Kyohei-nne?! Unforgivable!!

Burning punishment from Hell shall...

strike her!

Goth, goth!

Loli, loli!

And so this is Sunako Nakahara,
our new transfer student, so...

Sunako
Nakahara
And so this is Sunako Nakahara,
our new transfer student, so...

Creepy...

Is it like, really cold in this class?

I smell curses.

I can see an aura of malice around her.

Hey, who turned the lights off?

Don't tell me!

I'm here to do a report on the
much-talked-about transfer student

who came to class with those four
beautiful boys from our school!

C'mon, show me your face!

Stop it!

You must be cute enough to walk
along with them, right?

C'mon, show me your face!

Hey, wait!

Club members, go after her! After her!

Sunako Nakahara's face will be on the front
page of tomorrow's school paper!

Science Lab

I feel so relaxed in here.

It's great to be here.

My name is Sunako Nakahara.
It's very nice to meet you all.

I'm so happy I'm not in the same class
with those Creatures of the Light.

Viva, school!

Huh?!

What did you say?

Did you see this?

Sunako Derby!

Sunako Derby!

"Bring in a photo of the face of this mysterious
transfer student and win 100,000 YEN... "

For real?!

Does that mean I could take a picture too?!

That's not funny, Kyohei.

Well, I'm sure things will calm
down sooner or later.

Ranmaru, wanna have lunch with us?

Hey, babies! Just hold on a sec, okay?

Wait, Nakahara!

Just one picture!

NOOOOOOOOO!!

Hey, that was Sunako Nakahara!

After her!

Yeah!
After her!

Yeah!

Wait, let me take a picture!

Why? Why can't anyone leave me alone?!

I should be safe here for a while.

You there! Pretty popular with
boys, aren't you-nne?

No-nne...

Not only with our princes...

But also with all the other male students.

Must be so nice to get all that attention-nne!

Onne!

It's not nice at all!

Whatever!

Seriously, you are pissing me off!

No! The Immoral Ganguro Girls!

Goth, goth, loli, loli, run, run, loli, loli...
I bet you're hiding your face on purpose so
you can get all the attention from the boys!

Trying to stand out, b*tch?

Stand out? Me?

Damn right, you ugly girl!

Ugly Girl
Damn right, you ugly girl!

We're gonna cut your annoying bangs
for you, so you'd better thank us!

This b*tch is frickin' weird!

Shut up! We're gonna do this!

Stand out? I stand out?

That can't be right, I...

I...

stand out?!

I said, this b*tch is frickin' weird!

And I said, shut up!

But!

Ganging up on a girl?

Kyo.. Kyohei!

We... we were just...

What the?!

You need to stop this bullshit!

Kyohei is...

Holding the ugly girl!

I... I'm gonna melt.
Holding the ugly girl!

I... I'm gonna melt.

Throb

Hey, are you all right?

W.. Well... sc.. scissors?!

It's nothing! It's nothing!

See? The scissors are gone!
Come on, Kyohei, give me a break!

What have you done?!

Don't worry, it's nothing.

A...

A...

Amazing!

Sunako! Kyohei!

What the? Are you guys...

What is this?

SNIP

How do you like me now?
Now I won't stand out anymore!

How dare you pull out these things?

Apologize to this Creature of the Light!

Creature of the Light?!

Look how commanding Sunako is.

She's so cool!

Oh my god...

Kyohei, are you okay?

Your face is really red.

Maybe you have a fever.

Hurry up and put your jacket on.

Sunako, I'm sorry to ask you this,
but will you go home early with him?

Since you're partially responsible for this.

Here!

H.. He's heavy.

But before that I might melt!

W.. Wait... Why is Sunako Nakahara
taking Kyohei home?

'Cuz we all live together.

This is a nightmare.

Being all alone with a
Creature of the Light like him...

W.. Would you like something to eat?!

St.. Strawberries...

Oh my god, he's even more radiant!

Certainly!

Make it happen within thrity seconds!

But it takes me more than thirty seconds
to get to the refrigerator!

Hurry up!

Here's your strawberries!

I wanna an energy drink instead.

Here's your energy drink!

I want some ice cream instead,
strawberry flavored.

Here's your ice cream. It's Yukinojo brand.

I want some yogurt instead,
strawberry flavored.

Here's your yogurt! It's Takenaga brand!

I want some jelly instead...
No, cancel that.

Clean up the room. It's messy.

Okay...

Don't go touching everything, all right?

What, do you expect me to use
psychic powers or something?

Give me my pajamas.

Yes!
Give me my pajamas.

The clothes over there need to be washed.

Yes!
The clothes over there need to be washed.

Now I want some strawberries.

Yes! Yes!
Now I want some strawberries.

It must be the work of evil!

It must be the great radiant demon!

Here you go. I've got strawberries,
an energy drink, ice cream and yogurt jelly!

Can you make some porridge instead?

Murderous Intent!
Should I just go ahead and
choke him to death?!

Should I just go ahead and
choke him to death?!

Sorry...

Huh?

I said, I'm sorry.

About last night.

I didn't see anything because it was
too foggy, so don't worry about it.

Po.. Porridge...

Howdy, Sunako!

Takenaga sent me here with
some get-well gifts!

It's Kyohei's favorite: strawberries!

Excuse me, lady named Noi, please switch with
me and take care of him instead of me!

No way.

But since I have some time, I wouldn't
mind chit-chatting with you though!

Huh?

You're dizzy, can't stop bleeding
from the nose,

are going to melt and die soon because
Kyohei is too radiant?

Putting that aside, why are all the flowers
dead only in that section?

It has nothing to do with what
we're talking about.

I just can't do this anymore. I can't be
near him! I don't wanna go near him!

I see! So, you like Kyohei, huh?

Bluntly
Oh, that's not it at all.

Bluntly
Bummer! That's no fun!

That's right, it's all that Creature's fault!

It's all because Creatures of the
Light exist in this world!

You're pretty interesting!
I don't understand your thinking process!

Stupid Adam! Stupid Eve! Stupid DNA!
Stupid Pithecanthropus!

I don't really know what's going on, but why
don't you be radiant just like them?

You should stop being so gloomy
and be more lively instead!

It's easy for you to say that because you're
one of the Creatures of the Light.

I'm one of them too? How lucky!

Please don't put us both in the
same creature category.

Because from an opposite standpoint,
you sound like you don't know your place.

That's the last thing I want to hear from someone
who makes no effort whatsoever!

I've been working so much harder than others
just to make Takenaga think I'm cute!

Working?

The Road to Womanhood!

The Road to Womanhood!
The Road to Womanhood!

When you want to be a lady
with a beautiful smile...

Pout your lips like an octopus and say " Ooh!"

After that open your mouth sideways...

and say " ei" !

Ooeiooeiooeiooei!

WRONG!

It's pointless unless you do it
slowly and properly!

Take a break if it becomes painful!

Hey, Takenaga, what do you
think about my smile?

I can't take this anymore.

Ooei!

The Road to Womanhood!
To Be Continued

I envy you, Sunako.

Because you get to see Takenaga's
face every single day!

He seems cool and serious at school,
but what is he like at home usually?

I don't know, because he's too radiant to see.

Oh, I see...

You must like Takenaga, Noi.
Oh, I see...

You must like Takenaga, Noi.

Yup! I love him so much!

Sunako, you know your appearance can be
easily altered as long as you make an effort.

So, stop living in the Darkness. Good luck!

That's just what a person who
was born pretty would say.

That's just what a person who
was born pretty would say...
That's just what a person who
was born pretty would say.

What the hell is this?

A fried soy sauce bottle top?!

The whole plate is fried.

Is it my fault because I don't make an effort?

Or is it those Creatures of the Light's fault?

No, the person who's most responsible
for this is God!

Oh, by the way, Sunako,
did Noi come by here?

Sure she did, thanks to her I have
attained enlightenment.

Noi's pretty amazing.

Look what she's done by simply
delivering strawberries.

What are you talking about?

Takenaga, you're pretty amazing yourself, being
able to manipulate that Noi the way you do!

Why don't you date her already?

C'mon, c'mon! Must be nice! Must be nice!
Must be nice! Must be nice!

Yuki, shut up!
C'mon, c'mon! Must be nice! Must be nice!
Must be nice! Must be nice!

Must be nice... Seriously...

Must be nice to have been born pretty.

You've got it wrong, Sunako!

It's not like she was pretty from day one.

Take a look at this.

This is a photo of Noi when
she was in junior high.

You gotta be kidding me!

She managed to become as pretty as
she is without any plastic surgery.

If you want to be pretty, you can!

So hang in there!
And you know we'll help you!

You'll never let anyone call
you ugly any more!

S.. Sunako?

Is it okay to disobey God?

Disobey God... Disobey God... Disobey God...

Disobey God... Disobey God...

She still creeps me out!
Disobey God... Disobey God...

She still creeps me out!

She still creeps me out!
But at any rate, Noi used to look like this, huh?

But at any rate, Noi used to look like this, huh?

It's a completely different person!

Of course it's a different person.

That's a picture of the girl who gave me
a love letter on the street earlier.

She gave it to me with a letter.

How cruel! What a fraud!

How do you think she would feel?!

Disobey... Disobey God or rot in the Light...

Are these the only choices I have?

S.. So radiant!

How could he possibly be so
radiant even while ill?!

A.. Are you okay?

I'm pretty sweaty. I need to change.

PI.. Please don't !

Now that my bangs are gone,

how do you expect me to go on with my life
among these Creatures of the Light?

Just be normal, what do you think?
You idiot...

Before I rot to death...

Calm down!
Don't do anything stupid!
I'm scared! I'm scared!

Before I melt,

I'll k*ll him!

Give back my youth!

Give back my dark youth!

Huh? Is this Sunako's chaos?
Give back my dark youth!

Huh? Is this Sunako's chaos?

We're being sucked into the Darkness!

I can't take this anymore!

I'm so scared!

Mine!

Pull Down the Iron Curtain!

She needs to practice good manners!

Hurry! Quick! We don't have time!

Sunako, please be a lady, and...

What makes you think you can ask me for
something with that kind of attitude?

Out of my sight, you piece of garbage!

Now she's a queen?!

Oh, My Sweet Dark Youth
