Uochuu

Ichimatsu?! What the hell were you doing in this pouring rai—

I'm home.

W-W-Welcome home...

I'm gonna go grab a drink.

Choromatsu?

What? What is it?

Huh?

It's bad... Ichimatsu...

Ichimatsu... Karamatsu-niisan...

Ichimatsu what?

Got a bad haircut.

Huh?

Whoa! What the hell is that?!

Ichimatsu! What happened?!

Wh-What the hell is that?! How'd his head end up looking like that?

I told you, he got a bad haircut.

A haircut?

He went to get one in this pouring rain?

He just came back.

Knowing Ichimatsu, he probably couldn't complain to the person who cut his hair.

You know. That's just how Ichimatsu is.

Anyway, he's super depressed. He's been like that ever since he came home.

It's like his soul's left his body.

I see... Poor guy...

Make sure you don't tease him.

Huh?

It's a huge shock to have your haircut messed up.

Please, just be kind to him.

Okay. I'll ignore it.

Thanks.

What's up?

Gah! The worst one just showed up!

Stop him!

What? What's wrong?

What the hell?!

Huh?

What? What is it?

Ichimatsu...

got a bad haircut.

Huh?

He's got a crew cut.

Lemme see!

Please!

No.

Please!

I'm begging you!

No!

But why?!

He's really depressed!

Huh?

Please, just be kind to him.

But... it's super funny, right?

It is.

It's the best, right?

It is.

I can say that with confidence.

Then—

No. No laughing at him or teasing him!

Got it? Promise me!

Okay, fine.

Ichimatsu-niisan went out to get a haircut in this pouring rain?

But why?

Huh?

Uh... I have no idea.

Todomatsu.

I know.

So how bad is it really?

Will we be able to hold back our laughter?

W-Well...

Yes.

If you actually care about your brothers.

What the hell is that?! What is that?! I can't! Let's leave. Let's go.

It's hilarious! I'm gonna die!

Shh!

Hey! Lemme out!

I won't laugh. I won't tease him. I promise.

Have I ever broken a promise before?

I have.

I wanna see!

That's pretty bad. Calling something "bad" can only go so far.

What should we do?

I'll make sure I don't see Ichimatsu-niisan for a while.

I won't let my eyes see that crew cut.

I see. That's a good idea. I'll do the same.

What?!

Why?!

I felt bad that Ichimatsu was all alone,

so I went to the barber shop and got the same cut.

Now he won't be all alone.

Wha?

The hell?

That makes no sense.

Now two of them have crew cuts.

Why, though?

Hey...

I need to talk to you.

What?! It was on purpose?!

What do you mean, Jyushimatsu-niisan?! That haircut was on purpose?!

Yup.

But why? He wouldn't purposely make himself look that weird.

What were we all planning to do today?

We were supposed to go to the beach, right?

We were all super excited about it.

But...

this downpour ruined that.

Then everything got real heavy.

Ichimatsu-niisan is super sensitive to that and can't deal with it.

So I think he wanted to change up the mood

by doing something funny himself.

That's why he got a crew cut.

What?

So... you're saying he did that to get laughs?

Yup.

So it wasn't just a failed cut...

Nope.

B-But that's impossible!

He wanted laughs? That's his hair!

The risk is too high!
