Convenience Store Boy Friends (コンビニカレシ)

And here it is.

This is the place where our story begins.

Breakfast is ready!

Come on, get up!

Okay, okay. I'm getting up now.

Towa's here? Again?

We're off.

See you later.

Man, my neck is killing me.

Well, you did sleep on the floor.

Yeah, good point.

How 'bout the bed next time, huh?

Fat chance.

Fine, jerk.

Oh, yeah. Brazil's playing today.

I should make plans to watch it with your brother.

You mean at my place?

Yeah, and the European League is on CS at midnight.

You're staying over again?

You'd better make sure you let my mom know.

Yeah, I will.

There's an unusual number of students around for a Sunday.

Because it isn't Sunday.

Heh. Look at that!

Man, these high-school clubs really go all out

to recruit new members, don't they.

It's practically a carnival.

You going out for soccer?

Think I'm gonna head right to the pool.

Will you please stop being such a loser?

Just wait and hang with me a little longer.

What?

Hey, guys! How do you feel about joining the handicraft club?

We could use some new blood around here.

Uh, handi-what, now?

Yeah, I don't think it's for me.

Aw, come on!

What are you guys afraid of? It'll be great.

Okay! We've got two new men on board now!

-- What the-- -- Hang on--

Hey, Handicraft.

Eee... Mr. Sakurakoji!

Dishonest recruitment tactics are strictly forbidden.

That's a yellow card.

All right, listen up.

Don't be such an easy target, or you're gonna end up

in every club on campus.

You got that?

-- Okay. -- Uh, 'kay.

Hey, lighten up, man. Don't scare them.

But Mikado--

You interested in liberal arts?

'Cause if not, you should try checking out

the school grounds or the gym.

A lot of clubs are pretty aggressive, so be careful.

Those dudes are weird.

I hope I don't end up on their radar.

Aw, don't worry about it.

S'not like they're not gonna do anything to us.

Besides, the handicraft club was scarier.

Yeah, you got that right.

Don't you have soccer now?

-- Yup. -- Well,

guess I'll see you later, then.

Hey. Let's meet up at the convenience store

on the way home.

Seriously? We're walking home together, too?

Welcome.

I'm so sorry.

-- --

Are you all right, miss? I hope you didn't hurt yourself!

No, I'm okay, thank you.

I'm terribly sorry.

I didn't look where I was going.

It was my fault.

Oh, look at your skirt.

I'll get you something to clean it with.

Wait here.

Hey, thanks a lot.

That's so nice.

Please accept our apologies, miss.

No, don't be sorry.

I was careless and absentminded.

Uh, I have to get going now.

Oh. Thank you so much for your kind assistance.

Oh, it's fine.

Would you be willing to provide your contact information?

'Scuse me.

Thanks for helping me.

Uh, you're welcome.

Okay, bye.

That was just adorable!

Oh, man!

Just make a move already.

Come on, Haruki, reacting that way every time

is getting really old.

But I keep telling you, she's not like that.

That excuse is getting old, too.

Ugh, well, it's not like you're making a move or anything.

Real talk, buddy.

I know you take that kind of thing seriously,

but if you never practice using it,

you won't be able to when the time comes.

A dick joke, really?

No, ya dumbass. I'm talking about your heart.

What?

You and your princess were finally reunited, duh.

You get it?

You never give up, do you?

'Kay, it's morning!

Good morning.

Hey! Towa, it's time to get up now!

-- We're off. -- See you later.

I think Akira might have broken my damn neck.

Nah, you just slept funny again.

Yeah, you're right.

So, let me sleep in the bed for once.

If you want to sleep in a bed, then go home.

That's cold, man.

Some best friend you are.

Try your only friend.

Welcome, come in.

Good morning.

What to eat, what to eat...

So, you lookin' for someone?

Man. You just won't let it go.

We were only kids, you know.

I'm an adult now. I can't hold onto the past forever.

Please, you're so full of it, Haruki.

I know you're really a closet romantic.

Shut up, dude!

Ooh! You mad, bro?

Listen!

I understand you're girl-crazy and I can accept that fact.

But some of us have more important things

to worry about, okay?

Ugh.

Exactly the kind of thing that losers say.

Hey, that's my scoring leg, you tool!

Hey, Towa, you free today?

When? You talkin' bout after school?

Nah, I have practice then.

Wow, you're so responsible.

Hang on.

Class rep!

Hey, are you handing those out?

I would've taken care of it.

Don't make me laugh!

You forgot about the committee meeting during lunch,

didn't you?

What?

Uh...

Why did you even bother becoming a class rep, anyway?

Uh, 'cause it seemed like a good idea?

Then take it more seriously!

Hey, you're actually pretty cute when you're angry,

you know that?

Just hand these out.

Huh?

Don't be mad.
