Kawagoe City Daisan Middle School Opening Ceremony

Were you on it?

Hey, I'm in Class 3.

I'm Class 2.

There's me!

Nakajima Kotono

Ninomiya Hina

Mizuno Akane

Miyamoto Aira

Ryuuzaki Shiho

Class 1.

None of us are together.

Are you with anyone?

No one in the track club.

Aww...

Hey, at least we can see each other in the club.

That's true.

You think we'll get some first-years?

I hope we get lots!

Shoot, I forgot about the poster!

What?

Hira asked me to do it.

The lawyer one?

Yeah, that one.

Want me to help?

Thanks.

Cool, let's make this happen.

Time to get serious!

Right, Akane?

Oh, yeah.

Starting today, I'll be a third-year in middle school.

Good morning, everyone.

It's April.

The cherry trees are blooming, and it's the start of a new year.

To the first-years,

Kawagoe City Daisan Middle School Term 1 Opening Ceremony

I hope that you will hold on to the fresh state of mind that you're in now,

and that you'll live your coming years at this school to their fullest.

To the new second and third-years, your classes...

Man, I'm beat.

I can't wait to get home.

I'm so nervous.

Stay calm.

Stay calm!

Okay.

Even in middle school, there's inequality.

The upper and lower class.

The cool clubs and the lame ones.

Attractiveness and grades.

We use every weapon at our disposal to establish a pecking order.

Yay!

Wow, you're popular.

Damn, Roman.

What?

Player.

You bastard!

Get off me.

Check this out.

What?

This doesn't hurt.

Your shoulder blades. See?

Dude, ow!

Yeah, right.

Ow! Seriously!

Really?

Want me to try it on you?

Sure.

Doesn't hurt.

Um...

Nope.

You guys...

Akanecchi.

It's me, Aira. Remember me?

We were in the same third grade class.

Oh, yeah.

You're in the track club, aren't you?

Yeah. Nice to meet you.

Do you know her?

No.

Ryouko-chan's here.

All right, take your seats, please.

Track and Field Club

Members Souper Wanted

I hope we get lots of first-years.

I know.

Can you believe we're third-years now?

Okay, let's do this!

Let's do this!

Hey, look!

Members Souper Wanted

It says "souper" wanted.

Souper!

Who wrote that?

Soup wanted!

Stop it, you're killing me!

Kota!

Kotarou.

See you tomorrow.

You'd better show me that novel.

I'm not showing you.

I'm taking the key.

Open

Feel free to talk to me.

Librarian

I'm at the desk up front.

Ready?

Go!

Akane, your arms!

Keep going, Mizuno!

I'm home.

Welcome home.

Welcome home.

Apparently we're eating out today.

What? Really?

Want to take a shower?

I'll be quick.

Dear, turn the TV off.

Fine, fine.

I'm so hungry.

Cafe Restaurant

Guest

Table for four.

You're always on LINE.

What do you care?

That kid from before?

I'll have the mixed grill and mini-ramen.

I brought us water.

Thanks.

You'll get fat.

You don't want any, Kotarou?

I run. Can I have dessert, too?

I'll get the drink bar.

You should stick with tea.

You're ordering too much.

Eat well. You're working hard for your club.

What about you, Onee-chan?

Pasta salad and the drink bar.

That's it?

The seasonal veggie meal is bamboo shoot rice.

You're ordering beer and the drink bar, dear?

Come on, what's wrong with that?

That sounds good.

Isn't that wasteful?

I want both.

That, and a beer.

Please don't get drunk.

I thought I had it in here.

Man, my daughter's so cold. At least let me have a beer while we're out, would you?

I told you to check before we left.

Found it.

I think I'll have this one.

Okay.

Maybe I'll have this one.

Gratin and lasagna both sound good, too.

Want me to choose for you?

Or maybe pasta?

Dad, be quiet.

It'll make me fat.

Okay.

Want to order a drink, Kotarou?

You're ordering from the drink bar, right, Kotarou?

Would you mind pressing the buzzer for me, honey?

Okay.

Are you listening, Kotarou?

I'll have the drink bar.

Dazai said...

"How excruciatingly arduous and unbearable it is to live."

Want to order sautéed spinach, Akane?

Iron is good for you.

You're ordering too much.

Akane will eat it.

Right?

You have a tournament soon, right?

You have to eat lots of healthy food.

Stop it.

Oh? What's wrong?

Hey, chubby!

I'm going to get something to drink.

Tasty Water

Iced Coffee

Akane, can you get some for the rest of us?

The usual, please.

I think I'll have melon soda.

Akane, can you carry all that?
