Anna Karenina

There, I'm done!

The shadow I saw kinda looked like this!

Shino Sensei said he felt like he was being controlled during that time, right?

Yeah.

So, does that mean…

there's someone behind it pulling the strings?

But then it would be unusual for the person

being controlled to have a memory of that.

Besides, if you're going to manipulate someone

you would have a purpose, right?

A purpose?

But all we have now are just people going on a rampage.

That's why I'm wondering if it's some kind of illness.

But if that's the case...

The fact that you're the only one who can see it

doesn't make sense.

Damn it, we've wasted so much time,

thanks to Boruto and the others.

But maybe they had some kind of emergency.

Don't let them fool you.

I guarantee that all they wanted to do was get out of cleaning duty.

Who cares about those losers?

Let's go get something sweet to eat!

Sweets from all over the world are waiting for us!

Yay!

What's wrong, Miss Class Rep?

W-Well...

I thought I felt someone watching me.

No one's there.

O-Oh, sorry.

Who's there?

LOVE AND POTATO CHIPS

LOVE AND POTATO CHIPS

Isn't it obvious that I'm losing weight?

I guess…so?

She's been like this ever since.

What?!

Are you saying you're still being stalked?

We can feel someone watching, but we can't see them.

I've been so anxious, I haven't been able to eat properly.

Oh man!

Stalkers are sticky like natto and I really hate it!

They just won't leave me alone!

I'll get him for sure this time!

Is it another incident?

Nah. Not everything is related to each other, right?

POTATO CHIP FAIR

I hate it.

I can't believe I ran out of potato chips!

I thought you weren't "eating properly"?

Potato chips, potato chips!

MUGWORT AND SWEET RED BEAN PASTE

That's sweet!

Why on earth would you buy that?

Because even if it knows it sucks,

it's still trying to compete as a new product.

With no one buying it,

it's been ignored and shoved down to the corner of the shelf.

That's why I have to accept its challenge fair and square.

Ugh, that's sweet!

Y-Yeah, you're right.

You think he'll show up again today?

Sticky guys like that tend to show up in

deserted places like this.

You're here!

Partial Expansion Jutsu!

What was that scream?

That was nearby!

What's she—?

What's she doing to that timid-looking guy?!

Hey! Don't be so violent!

Huh?

Huh?

So this is the guy you've been talking about?

That's right.

Hm? Come to think of it, you're...

You know him?

I'm pretty sure he's Magire from the class next door.

With so few handsome guys in the Academy,

I'd say he'd rank towards the top.

I can't believe he was really following you.

Boruto, don't tell me, he's…

Nah, I don't see anything.

I don't sense anything weird coming from him.

I see.

But that doesn't mean we can just leave him be.

Hey! Why would you do something like this?

Are you really Cho-Cho's stalker?

Why don't you say something?!

Silence, huh?

But seriously, following Cho-Cho?

You really have strange taste.

Oh, my!

I completely understand why you would want to follow me, but...

I'm sorry. You and I are like macarons and natto.

We're in totally different leagues—

You're wrong!

The person I was watching is…

Miss Sumire!

Oh no!

You mean, the Class Rep?

So that means, the one he likes is...?

What? Huh? Oh my...

Phew...man, I'm good.

My plan to extract information out of him was a total success.

You liar!

But in any case, you went a little too far.

B-But, what was I supposed to do?

I-I just wanted to breathe the same air as Miss Sumire!

Y-You're kidding.

O-Okay, so are we done here?

I'll just be on my way—.

We're not done here!

This may be your chance.

Huh?

You might as well tell her how you feel right now.

What?!

W-What are you saying?

If you tell her how you feel right now,

then I'll forgive you for what you did.

And maybe even…

What? You serious? You're gonna tell her?

I-I... I've liked you for the longest time!

P-Please go out with me!

He really did it!

I'm sorry!

And he got rejected!

W-What the hell!

I did it because you told me to!

I would've been better off staying hidden!

Well, I knew this would happen.

You did?

Y-You're so cruel.

Here... Have one of these. Cheer up.

You never know until you step up to the challenge, right?

So now, you'll know what to do next time.

Do you know what I'm trying to say?

What the hell? Are you messing with me?

Talk about rubbing salt into a wound.

If he doesn't get it then he's just a loser.

So sweet!

That'll be hard for him to swallow.

Come on, let's go.

Is he gonna be okay?

What happened to the guy from yesterday?

Don't ask me.

I hear you're popular with the guys, Miss Class Rep!

How do you know about that already?

Namida! What's wrong?

T-The blackboard…

SUMIRE, I'M ALWAYS WATCHING YOU.

SUMIRE, I'M ALWAYS WATCHING YOU.

Whose idea of a prank is this?

Everyone, keep working on your drawings.

W-What is going on?

It's him!

Boruto…apparently, you-know-who was absent today.

What?!

No one's seen him.

No way! My intuition's never wrong.

What's this?

SUMIRE, YOU LOOK CUTE TODAY.

SUMIRE, I LOVE YOU. I'M ALWAYS RIGHT BESIDE YOU.

SUMIRE, I LIKE YOU SUMIRE, I LIKE YOU SUMIRE, I LIKE YOU.

That guy's the only one who could have done this.

Yeah, that's for sure, but...

How did he do this?

Damn it, where is he?

Don't worry.

As long as we don't leave the Class Rep by herself,

everything will be fine.
