[bunniefuu]

Yo.

Inu!

Izumi's out sick today!

Goals for the Week

This Month's Events

Jeez, not so loud. How do you

have so much energy this early?

Also, don't drop the "zuka."

I don't wanna hear that from a guy who

rolls up his sleeves when it's this cold.

Izumi messaged me this morning.

Sorry! Could you take notes for me?

Ok

Thanks

He asked me to take notes for him.

Oh, so you already knew?

I feel so left out.

Oh Notes, huh?

He didn't say anything to me.

For some reason, my friend's

girlfriend sees me as a rival.

#09 Innocence and Clumsiness

Why does this happen?

Does she think everyone who's ever

in Izumi's vicinity is her rival?

I guess it's true. Love really is blind.

Well, Neko and I hang around Izumi, too,

and she's never glared at us.

What?! Does she just hate me, then?!

Tell me, Nekozaki!

Not so close!

Look, she doesn't hate you, okay? You're fine.

Just today, Micchon was saying

Inuzuka-kun is so nice.

He's always right there with

Izumi-san, helping him out.

Yeah, like in PE!

And he's always got his arm around

his shoulder. It looks like such fun.

And they eat lunch together every day

Every day together

Micchon?

And Inuzuka-kun is the one he

asks to take notes for him.

I'd take better notes for him

than I take for myself!

Wow, she's a pain!

So that's how it is, huh?

He only asked me to take notes for him.

I mean, I don't think I'm doing

anything wrong, though.

Sheesh. That Izumi ought

to be ashamed of himself.

Hey, Inuzuka-kun

Do you mind if I go to

Izumi-san's house with you today?

Erk!

Fine with me.

You said something before that, didn't you?

Bye-bye!

Adieu.

Should we have let those two go together?

Hachimitsu!

What?

I can't go since I have practice,

but I can't turn a blind eye to this!

Follow them!

I'm on it.

Hey, Shikimori.

Do you like

Look, she doesn't hate you, okay? You're fine.

Nah, never mind.

Okay.

Oh, there's somewhere I'd like

to swing by. Is that okay?

Sure, I guess.

As the Dry Season Comes, You Need Quick Results!!

Which one should I get?

Black HARD

Throat Drops

Ultra Propolis Blend

Contains 1,000mg

This one or this one?

Yuzu and Honey Throat Drops

Contains 19% Yuzu Juice

Which one would Izumi-san like?

Is it worth agonizing over that much?

Which do you think he'd like?

Uh, the one on the right.

So thoughtless!

Then

If it's between this one and this one

Which would you pick, Nii-san?

Huh? Those aren't even throat drops.

Hey, that one has

grape-flavored ones in it!

Totally the left!

Wait

Did you just call me "Nii-san"?

I-I-I

I did not! Off to the checkout line!

Isn't that like calling your teacher "Mom"?

Here.

Huh? What're you talking about?

It's for you.

Huh? You didn't get that for Izumi?

The throat drops are for him.

These are for you.

Why?

You like grape, right?

What the heck are you planning?

Fine. You can't have them.

I'm sorry! You're super cool! I love grape!

I see.

All the mysteries have been solved.

The heck are you doing?!

Hachimitsu?

Hup.

The truth is, I was secretly following you.

Why, though?

What "mysteries" are you talking about?

I'm glad you asked.

Don't ignore me!

I have figured out Shikimori's heart.

H-Her heart?

M-My heart?

Shikimori-san.

You have an older brother, correct?

Y-Yes.

And you always talk to your friends about him.

Friend

You say you have trouble

being open with him

and end up treating him a bit coldly.

What's she talking about?!

I'm saying that you unconsciously

conflate Inu with your brother

and you just want his attention!

Wait, so all those times she's

treated me like a rival

She was just going into youngest-child mode

and letting her possessiveness

show on the surface.

Nah, that can't be it.

Hey, Shikimori, you tell her.

Y-Yeah! I definitely don't think he

kinda talks and acts like my brother!

So you do, then.

Oh So she doesn't actually hate me.

Although

I can't say it really felt like she

just wanted my attention.

Oh, Inu

Don't drop the "zuka."

You've got some good stuff there.

Give me one.

But still

I don't feel that bad about it.

No way!

This was a gift from a cute little

attention-seeking baby.

Oho.

Well, I can't fault you for that.

What did you just call me?

I'm sorry! I went too far!

M-My back gave out

I hope Inuzuka-kun gets here soon.

My club has the day off today!

It's just you and me, Micchon!

This doesn't happen often, huh?

Izumi and Hachimitsu are both sick,

and I guess Inu's at work.

It has gotten awfully cold lately.

And our athletic festival's coming up.

I hope it'll be okay

Oh, it looks like Izumi-san will be

back at school next week.

Yeah? Good for you, Micchon.

Izumi-san

The seasonal cold this year is terrible.

Please use a humidifier in your room so you don't dry out.

You might want to hang your wet towels up to dry, too.

Oh, and they say gargling helps to prevent dryness!

Have you taken your medicine?

Make sure you take your cold medicine, okay?

And keep warm, and wear a mask so you won't hurt your throat!

And eat foods that are soft, warm, full of moisture,

and easy to digest, like rice porridge.

Overprotective!!

Now you won't be lonely

going to and from school,

and you won't stay glued

to your phone all day.

I'm not glued to it!

Oh, yeah?

Hey, isn't that Kamiya?

Kamiya-san

She's so slim.

She really does stand out,

even from a distance. Right, Neko?

Huh?! Neko?!

Hey, Kamiya! All by your lonesome?

When did she

You never hold back at all, do you, Nekozaki?

Oh, you remember her, right?

From the Couple Numbers game.

Yes.

Shikimori-san, right?

Yep!

It's good to see you again, Kamiya-san.

Hey, wanna hang out with us?

Just kidding!

Hmm

Sure.

Yeah, I didn't figure you'd

You will?!

For a change.

Wh-Where shall we go?

Kamiya, is there anywhere you wanna hit?

Hmm, let me think

Isn't this cute?

That's cute?

I don't get what sets her off!

They just keep playing

with those puppies

Let's take sticker photos!

Make a cool face!

Let's see how they came out.

What is this, a CD jacket?!

I'm going to the restroom!

You two have fun!

Shikimori-san, do you mind if I try that?

Looks fun!

How do you do this?

You've never played it before?

No.

See that moving part?

You try to match its timing.

When it's where you want it, press 1, and

I missed. This is too hard.

I'll try, too.

Grab

Drop

Here.

No, you won those yourself.

It's okay.

I got them so I could give them to you.

Are you like this with everyone?

What do you mean?

Nothing. Never mind.

Now, I'll win something you want.

You don't have to do that.

It's fine.

I don't like just having things

done for me all the time.

Th-Then

I wonder where they went.

I got it!

There. Now we're even, right, Kamiya-san?

I can't believe you got it

from that position

You're good.

They're best buds all of a sudden!

I bet we could get that one, too.

Yeah, if we catch the string

and scoot it to the side.

Girls' Volleyball

Kamiya! Wanna go somewhere on the way home?

Sorry, Nekozaki. I'm in a hurry today.

Oh, okay. See ya later, then!

Later.

Hey, Nekozaki

Maybe you shouldn't bother

inviting Kamiya anymore.

Huh? Why not?

Well, she's kind of a loner, you know?

She doesn't seem to like hanging out much.

And it's rude of us to make

her say no every time.

Yeah.

Is that really how she feels?

I've never seen Kamiya smile so much

I'm back!

Looks like you're having fun!

What do you wanna do next?

What the heck?! Don't you think

you won too much stuff?!

Oh, that just h-happened.

Look! A basketball court!

Let's play a little.

Hey, hey, hey!

We're about to use this court,

just so you know.

Why don't you, like, scram?

Oh

I didn't know the court

required a reservation.

Y-Yeah, that's right!

This courts is reservation only!

And you should, like, obey the rules!

They're gals with morals

Sorry about that.

Let's try somewhere else.

Like where?

Hold it!

We'd be willing to duke it out

for the right to use this court.

Frankly, playing one-on-one is, like, boring.

We just wanna play basketball with you.

Um

Or are you scared you'll lose?

Very well. Shall we, then?

They seem good. Think we can win?

You're just letting them egg you on!

Well, if that's what we're doing,

I'll be the ref.

You're totally into this, huh?

I, like, love girls like you!

Just so you know, we played in the

regional tournament in middle school.

We're, like, not gonna lose.

Here!

Nice shot!

Way to go!

They're fast!

Here!

We're just, like, getting started!

We totally lost.

Like, who are they?

They really were good.

Talk about tenacious.

Your teamwork got the better of us!

You're, like, such good friends!

Friends

Your teamwork was really good, too!

You know we gotta, like, take a pic now!

You guys better get in on this, too!

They're overwhelming

Man, that was fun!

Well, see you at school tomorrow.

Yeah, see you tomorrow.

You too, Kamiya-san. See you.

Yeah.

Um, if it's okay with you

It'll be as friends next time, okay?

Huh? But after all you just did

together, you're already—

Just be quiet for a minute.

Kamiya-san

I'd love that.

Kamiya, you've changed.

Have I?

Yeah!

I mean, you looked like

you were having a blast!

I've never seen you smile so much before.

That didn't seem like me?

Well, I was surprised, but I was super happy!

I've always wanted to hang out

and have fun with you.

I learned tons of new stuff about you today.

Nekozaki

Yeah?

Sorry about how I was before.

Huh?

Wh-What brought this on?

I mean

You invited me out all the time,

but I always said no, remember?

Huh? Oh, don't worry about that!

I was the one being kinda pushy about it.

Sorry if I made you feel bad.

You're very kind, Nekozaki.

Huh? I'm just doing what I wanna do.

Actually, I'd say you're the nice one.

Too nice, even.

No, no

No, no, no.

Anyway, what do you want to do, Nekozaki?

Remember what I said?

I just want to know more about you.

We're friends, after all!

You're right. You can ask me anything.

Did you say "anything"?!

Well, anything I can actually answer

Uh, let me think um

Oh! What's your favorite sweet snack?!

That's it?

Sorry, but I don't really have one.

You're kidding!

I don't know what's good or whatever

Actually, my taste buds are kinda weird.

Huh?

It feels rude, so I never told

anyone about it before.

Wow

Yours is chocolate, right?

I can't believe you knew!

I'm glad.

Any other questions?

Uh, hang on a second

Nothing's coming to me.

You can take your time thinking about it.

Okay.

Hey, do you know Izumi well?

You guys were together during

the cultural festival.

Yeah.

Oh! Did you know Izumi and

Micchon are going out?

Are they?

I guess you're not interested in

You know

I never know what Kamiya-san is thinking.

She's so cool and good-looking!

She's not interested in other people.

I wish I had a body like hers.

I bet she wants for nothing.

She's gorgeous, and everyone admires her.

She's perfect!

She's a loner.

She's so cold. She never hangs out.

Hey, Kamiya

You know how you never

used to smile like this?

You always seemed like you were hurting.

Who was it that changed you?

Sorry. I can't say.

I see.

I can't say, but

There is someone who told me that

I should treasure what I feel.

I understand that now.

It doesn't matter if I'm hurt or tired.

I hope

I can tell you someday.

Sure. I'll be waiting!

Oh, man! Here comes the train! Run!

Yeah.

Kamiya, you can take your time.

Keep discovering more of your own feelings.

And one day, when you find a way to deal

with them other than stifling them

I hope

I hope you'll smile from

the bottom of your heart.

Just kidding!
