The Misanthrope and the Lonely Castle Under the Full Moon

Mr. Hitoma, the lipstick from before...

Can you tell which one I went with, coral pink or blossom pink?

Um...

The coral pink looked like mentaiko, so...

Coral pink?

You got it!

So what do you think?

I think it's fine.

Looks tasty.

Huh?

Whoa!

You really do like 'em young!

Hey, wait! No!

When I said it looks tasty, I wasn't talking about Ohgami!

Mentaiko Sandwich

Mentaiko Sandwich

I meant mentaiko!

Hitoma really was into little girls.

Who'd have thought that's where Mr. Hitoma's interests lie?

I don't think I can defend you here.

There's still much for me to learn about human lunches...

The Whole Sausage

Curry Bread

Curry Bread

Do people eat unbalanced meals like yours for lunch?

An entire loaf of white bread.

Whoa, that's nothing but carbs!

No, the curry bread has ground meat, which counts as protein.

Hey, Mr. Hitoma!

You need some veggies in you, not just carbs!

Here, take some of Isaki's sides!

Go on!

Eat as much as you like!

Wow, you really ate it all.

Ohgami!

You were shoving that down thinking it'd be too much?!

My bad!

Teachers' Office

That's right...

Mr. Hitoma, it was your first time seeing Ohgami on the day of a full moon?

Yes.

She was acting so differently from usual, I wasn't sure how to deal with her.

It's hard to wrap your head around at first.

The first time I met her, it took me by surprise.

It was like she was a totally different person.

Yes.

Totally different, but still the same in some ways.

Which makes it even more confusing.

The same?

That's right.

The normal Ohgami is low on energy, and seems timid at first glance,

but her composure lets her listen to what others say with an open mind.

Full Moon Ohgami is high on energy and seems overbearing at first glance,

but her discretion lets her empathize with others in a forward manner.

They take different routes, yet manage to naturally fit in with other people.

Looks like you're doing just fine, Mr. Hitoma!

Huh?

I'm surprised you managed to understand Ohgami so well on the very first day.

It took me a while to pick up on it.

Wolves are animals that form packs, after all.

Packs?

To her, the pack that she's a part of now...

Her friends must mean a lot to her.

Is that how it works?

But in that case...

If her pack...

Her friends mean a lot to her...

then why did she leave her own wolf pack

in order to pursue becoming human?

Advanced Class

We'll leave off there.

Take care now.

I'll see you all tomorrow.

Ohgami.

Can you spare a moment?

Mr. Hitoma!

Now that's a bold move!

The two of us, all alone in the classroom after school?

Sure thing! I'm totes free!

So? What are you gonna try on me?

I wanted to get a proper answer from you.

For why you want to become human.

Oh, my bad!

Just remembered I've gotta be somewhere!

See you next month!

Wait, wait, wait!

This is an important matter!

Listen here...

Does it really matter?

Isaki's reason is none of your business.

Am I... acting out of line?

Ugh, fine! You win!

I'll talk.

What is it?

Didn't you say you want to be human to move on from your halfhearted existence?

What does that mean?

Having your two personalities become one?

That's right.

Can you tell me a little more?

Think about it.

Would anyone want their personality to change only when there's a full moon?

You have a point.

Normal Isaki feels the same way.

Before we came to this school,

I heard Isaki said that she hated Isaki enough to want to kill her.

Hearing that bummed me out a little.

Like, she really hated me that badly, huh?

It makes sense, though.

Isaki's the unwanted one.

Me, that is.

So having Isaki be the only one in this body is...

How do I put it?

The right thing?

That's what I think.

Besides, Isaki loves Isaki.

That's why I want to make Isaki's wish come true.

Her wish?

Getting rid of Isaki... rid of me.

To become just normal Isaki.

That's Isaki's wish.

And what about you?

Not normal Ohgami, but the one in front of me now.

How do you feel?

As for Isaki...

Isaki's suffered all this time because of Isaki.

So it's not Isaki's place to say anything.

Suffered?

Isaki's a werewolf, but not the normal kind.

Most werewolves are humans who turn into wolves on the night of a full moon, right?

The werewolves I know of, yes.

Isaki's the exact opposite.

Usually a wolf living among her pack, who turns into a human on the full moon.

As for me...

The full moon Isaki here right now...

Normally, I wouldn't have these ears or this tail.

Thanks to the school barrier, Isaki gets to look the same as Isaki.

Cute, right?

You want to become a full-fledged human?

Isaki's wish is to not make Isaki sad because of Isaki.

That's all.

In that case...

Am I right saying that you're not the one who wants to be human,

and it's the normal Ohgami personality that wants to become human?

Yeah, you got it.

It's the wolf Isaki who wants to be human.

Normal Isaki.

No, that's not what I'm asking.

I didn't mean what you want.

I meant what normal Ohgami wants.

Does normal Ohgami feel the same way?

That's right.

At least, I think so.

We Isakis share what we see and hear, but we don't share thoughts or emotions.

So I can't say for sure.

Hey, that means...

If you're still curious, ask Isaki tomorrow!

Isaki only gets to do what she wants one day every month,

so I'm busy trying to get it all done!

Oh.

Sorry to hold you up.

'Kay, see ya next month!

Yes. She must feel the same.

I mean... going through that...

Who'd want that?

Hey, Mom.

How come I turn into someone else on the day of the full moon?

Human blood runs in our family's veins.

Human blood?

Yes.

Which is why rarely... extremely rarely...

We get pups like you who are born.

Why does everyone call me a mongrel?

Because I have no ears?

No tail?

Is it all my fault?

Did I do something wrong?
