"I think I'm much cooler now." "Huh?" "Like how?" "I can draw beta flashes now." "Is that cool?" "That's too bad." "I thought it'd be a nice change of pace to play basketball with you." "Is something the matter?" "do you know her?" "The one named Seo Yuzuki who was going crazy earlier?" "Y-Yeah..." "I heard she's an assistant for the girls' basketball team. it's been hell for us on the boys' team." "and comes at us with insane force." "Everyone's terrified of her... we're always frantically trying to get away from the ball." "right? it's gotten even worse." "You've always been sensitive..." "I'll listen." "Don't hold it in." "Senpai... want to come over to my place?" "will you play some games with me?" "could I ask you to do some erasing?" "could you see it all the way through?" "fine." "I'll help you out." "I appreciate it." "Seo's singing?" "Did I leave it in?" "!" "Wakamatsu." "Please don't mind tha—" "I got really sleepy." "but could I have that song?" "!" "What should I do?" "should I give it to him?" "and not telling him that would be..." "I'll help you with your manga!" "Here you go." "huh?" "Yeah..." "I hate you!" "really?" "Do your best." "I'll be okay..." "Because I have someone who always cheers me on." "but the person on the phone is the boy she hates..." "I'm excited to see when she'll find out." "I'll do everything in my ability to stop that from happening!" "What?" "You're going to stop it?" "Nozaki-senpai!" "Wakamatsu..." "You seem oddly chipper." "Yes!" "I haven't been able to sleep at all due to stress... I've been sleeping like a baby lately!" "thank you so much!" "he sleeps really well." "that's amazing!" "Yuzuki's voice is working like some kind of medicine?" "I guess..." "Seo's here!" "Scatter!" "Scatter!" "She'll aim for your face!" "Whoa!" "Wakamatsu went down!" "she's also the cause of his stress." "I can't help but feel like she's only been attacking me." "You really should get mad at her." "Right!" "I make sure to glare at her." "Glare" "You're such a small man... as well!" "Hello!" "Hello!" "That ruins it!" "I fly right at her." "Heh heh!" "Hello!" "Hello!" "Hello!" "Hello!" "That just looks like you're attached to her." "no..." "You mean what I was doing was pointless?" "Wakamatsu." "If all else fails... please let me borrow your books!" "I want to study!" "Huh?" "My books?" "A glove?" "She threw her glove at me." "Could that mean..." "I challenge you to a duel!" "Got it!" "Wait..." "What did you just "get"? but you should determine which parts are usable and which aren't." "Right!" "Got it!" "Yuzuki." "To Seo-senpai"?" "!" "I'll be waiting for you on the roof after school." "no matter what." "I'll wait for you forever! so I used the manga as an example." "Isn't that a love letter?" "Seo-senpai." "Yeah." "I'm seriously shocked." "You have bubbly handwriting." "I've been wanting to tell you this forever." "I'm sure you know what I've been wanting to tell you." "of course." "There's only one thing you could have possibly called me here to tell me." "Which is..." "You want me to start calling you by a nickname." "That's not even close!" "What are you saying?" "I'm talking about basketball!" "The basketball team!" "we always have fun ramming into each other." "But basketball isn't that kind of sport!" "You're the only one ramming into anyone! but you cause us nothing but trouble!" "Please stop coming!" "Crap... that was going too far." "um..." "I... how about I call you "Waka"?" "You really need to listen!" "Waka?" "You're already using it?" "!" "why do you always only come after me?" "always?" "I do?" "you do!" "You only ever hit me with the ball." "And you even come after me during breaks." "You make me run errands for you." "You make me carry your stuff. and then you pay for my dinner!" "Then you buy a present just for me!" "I think she actually likes you." "It's Nozaki-senpai." "I was studying with shojo manga!" "The words that deal damage to a girl were..." "You're so annoying." "A-ko would never say that." "Don't compare me to another girl!" "That's it!" "Senpai!" "Lorelei-san from the glee club would never do that!" "Lorelei?" "You don't know her?" "She has a beautiful singing voice." "I know... and is truly kind and pure!" "she's the healing type!" "Her pure singing voice gently melts away any tension..." "I couldn't ever sleep without her voice again!"

"!" "I wonder why... but she isn't even taking me seriously." "The only thing left I can do is..." "The gloves!" "Is he going to throw them?" "Is he going to challenge her to a duel now?" "Here." "He's just giving them to her?" "!" "what should I have done?" "Perhaps you shouldn't have read the shojo manga." "I guess she at least realized you called her there to complain." "I think." "you're right." "I did my best!" "Yeah..." "And then... and told me all sorts of things... it was all to hide his shyness so he could give me a gift." "a shy boy!" "this might be my first time receiving a present from a boy." "then!" "a bug." "Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun." "Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun." "Huh?" "A-An SOS?" "!" "and he sent me a text."

"I brought ink as a get-well gift..." "I'm such an idiot!" "Why didn't I just take it at face value?" "people bring medicine or pudding or something!" "Nozaki-senpai?" "I came after I saw your text..." "Nozaki." "I came after I saw your text." "Sorry..." "I sent that text by accident." "Senpai." "are you all right?" "Is there anything we can do?" "Yeah..." "Tomorrow's my deadline—" "But the doctor told me to stay in bed." "So..." "Sleep in my place!" "Please!" "That's your concern?" "!" "so I can't sleep!" "That's your concern?" "!" "stop him!"

"Then the work that's left is..." "Screentone" "Cutter" "Screentone-Sticking Work" "Crap..." "It's my first time seeing this." "1)}Beginner Beginner 1)}Beginner let's just try sticking it on." "right?" "should I pour some tea?" "Y-Yeah." "Thanks!" "but I haven't really used a cutter before... it's sticking out." "Senpai!" "You've got it!" "That's amazing!" "I handle the heavy work." "What does that have to do with anything?" "too?" "Sorry." "Here you go." "I'll do my best to stay out of your way!" "I-It's not that big a deal." "Liberal arts clubs don't have seniority levels."

"Wakamatsu-kun." "Right!" "I'll do my best!" "I think that takes care of the basic screentones for clothes and such." "Yeah." "The problem is the effect screentones." "either." "what's she feeling here?" "There... and she says something mean." "she's concerned about the actions of another girl. and she's torn..." "And th—" "How did it go?" "Yeah." "I understand that this chick's really annoying." "I guess we don't have a choice..." "We'll just have to come up with lines ourselves." "First up is the heroine." "Can we do this by using some girl who's around us as a model?" "Some girl who's around us..." "Hey!" "Let's see... what's she thinking?" "I'm hungry..." "Seriously?" "Those two are going out?" "!" "crap..." "I feel like I'm gonna sneeze." "Let it all out!" "I nailed it!" "I think these would pretty much be the lines." "Yeah." "Then I'll go with this for the entrance scene." "Wouldn't it be this?" "do you?" "please choose a screentone for Suzuki-kun." "good-looking guy?" "Yes." "huh?" "1)}Ha ha ha" "Then we'll go with this." "How about here?" "This." "how about here?"
