The Klutzy Class Monitor and the Girl with the Short Skirt
Welcome to the Komazawa Cultural Festival!
Komazawa Festival
The Klutzes Enjoy the Cultural Festival
We're running a library café in Class 1-2!
Revenge of the Fish Man
Maid Café
We're doing a play in Class 2-3!
Boba Drinks
Hot Dogs
Curry Bread
Anyone want a hot dog?!
Young man.
Come over here. I have something good for you.
Has Long Black Hair
What's this?
That's the trait of your destined partner.
If you manage to find them and come to the dance together,
there's a chance you'll land a girlfriend and a luxury prize all at once.
Peepeepeep
Hey, you there!
Cease your objectionable solicitations!
Tsk! The nameless class monitors found me!
Young man, come to the party with your destined partner, okay?
Why you! Stop running!
Please spare me!
What is this card about?! What are you going to do to me—
It's like I said.
Go nab a girl with the trait on this card.
Prom Night Dance Party
At The Gymnasium From 4:30 PM~
Menacing
Got it?!
If you bring her, I'll let you have some fun with her, yeah?
Peepeepeep
Stop your criminal solicitations!
Phew.
Well? I think we gave out enough cards to non-student visitors, yeah?
It'll be much more fun if everyone participates, after all.
I just handed cards to your papa, mama, and little sister too.
Hey! That was unnecessary!
Aw, come on. It's fine. It's a festival.
Still, those class monitors keep showing up to nag us,
which means she wasn't able to persuade that gorilla man, right?
I can't say for sure, since I haven't heard from her yet.
I have faith in the president!
The prom dance party is the key event at the very end of the cultural festival!
We still have time!
She'll figure something out before then!
Akina...
Right. We've done everything we can too, so now we just wait and have faith!
Otherwise, the trump card I planned will go to waste!
Wears A White Coat
Oh! It's almost time for my shift with our class!
It's my shift at the manga study booth too, so I'll see you later.
Huh? Oh, right!
Abandoned
Well, guess we'll go around school and promote this.
Huh?! You're sure?!
Bu— Izubuchi-kun, I thought you were busy?!
I don't have anything to do for my class today,
and unless someone gets hurt, I don't have any work as the health representative.
Well, if I'm honest, I'm also pissed at that male gorilla.
What are you doing? Come on, hurry up.
Right away!
Yay! Perks! Perks!
Library Café
We've been waiting for you...
princesses.
Cute
So cute!
Oooh!
Haunted House
What an adorable catgirl you make, Po-chan!
Mama, enough!
I need to get this on camera!
Now, smile, Po-chan!
Crack Crack
Customers must please refrain from taking pictures.
My, my, my!
Come on, Sis. We came all the way here for you!
I told you not to! Just go home already, jeez!
It's all right, Lyri-chan. Mama was in the wrong.
This is a haunted house, after all. I shouldn't be calling her "cute."
I'm sorry, Po-chan!
That's not the issue!
Now, now. You do look good in that.
Why not go show off to Sakuradaimon-san?
Huh?! I-I'm not going!
Huh?
Why should I go show this to that guy, dummy?
Huh?
Po-chan, we'll be going now,
but let us know if you see papa around.
Oh, what? Did you get separated?
We did.
Knowing papa, I'm sure he's fine, but still.
Shoot.
Seems I left my cell phone at home.
I shouldn't have gone out of my way to help someone.
Are you lost?
Menacing
Does anyone know this kid's—
Wah, your face is scary!
Oh my, my, my!
I can probably meet back up with them by going to Po-chan's class,
but I don't know what class she's in.
This is the problem with being a father...
But there are things only a father can do for her too!
That man who was with my daughter before insisted they were friends,
but I have no doubts that he's after Po-chan!
That's because...
my eldest daughter is the cutest girl in the world!
Tied For 1st
Second Daughter
Wife
There is no man who can stay "just friends."
Only fathers can protect their girls from bad intentions!
Time's short, but I'll find the brat and stage an intervention!
I'm stuck separated from my family, but it's a prime opportunity!
If violence is how it's gonna be, I'll do it with impunity!
Hm? This is...
Rap Battle
Freestyle Champion
Spontaneous Entrants Welcome!!
Hey, yo!
Your homework load's a blunder,
you heartless number cruncher- turned-mechanical instructor!
It's those rappers from before!
I see. So they did start rapping as an official club, then!
I'm glad for them.
Now! Put your hands together for the one you thought won that battle!
We had MC Mathematics taking the lead!
Answered by Suzuki aka Masato!
The winner is MC Mathematics!
Now! Things are getting even more heated up!
We welcome any spontaneous entries!
Are there any courageous challengers out there?!
No, no!
I have a duty to find that brat and make sure he understands.
Besides, an old man like me barging in would put a damper on their excitement,
and I can't do that.
Kohinata Rhyme will just coolly take his leave—
What is all this?
I came to see what the ruckus was about,
but you're just insulting each other and declaring a winner?
How uncouth.
Recognizing something like this as a club just shows
the true level of this school.
Pardon me, what did you say?!
I simply shared my personal impression as someone whose son attends this school.
Forgive me if I offended you.
You're welcome to your opinion,
but please mind where you are.
There are children listening.
Hey, what's this?
Parents are arguing!
Go on, do it, do it!
You uncs gonna go at it?!
We'll lend you the mic.
I'll take the mic and...
Hey! Ah!
Come up onstage.
You can see for yourself if rap battles are uncouth or not.
Let's go then!
The match is two eight-bar verses each between our challengers!
The unc with the cap will lead,
and the slicked-back unc will answer!
Ready?
Fight!
Rap is uncouth? That's so far from the truth!
It's absurd! Choose the words on the fly that you can stand by,
and pour your heart into your reply, weaving verse into the bars we drop.
A duel of art and our smarts! Synapses firing so that inspiration can pop!
With light-speed impulse!
Whoa!
Hey, you for real, unc? You can really throw down!
Hey! What about you, slicked-back unc?
Are you still going to diss rap now?!
Bullshit! You call this a duel of wits? It's simple wordplay for little kids!
Your puns couldn't save your grades in language class.
You wouldn't struggle if this could help you pass.
You try to act cool, try to act violent, but your falling test scores won't relent!
And allowing that to stand here at school? It's failing as an establishment!
Whoa!
That unc rolled out some aggressive lyrics!
Damn it! He's just letting us have it!
Get him back, unc in the cap!
We humbly thank you for sharing your impressions!
I bet your son must be acing his lessons,
and well-behaved, top of the class, perfect at a glance,
but he's more than that!
You only seem to care about your ideals,
but have you ever asked how he really feels?
Everything he can't write on an answer sheet,
you'd hear if you let him trust it to the beat!
Whoa!
That's right! Rap is the voice of our hearts!
We're able to share how we really feel thanks to rap!
Maybe I'll try rapping with my dad sometime!
Did that just settle it?!
Now, slicked-back unc, you get the final eight bars!
That will to face your child's true feelings
is a father's reason for being.
A real parent's source of pride. An investment in their lives.
I'd really love to see such a conversation.
Can you and your kids give a demonstration?
It's easy to spout such an armchair theory!
But in the end, that self-conceit will leave you teary!
Yeah!
Come on, are you trying to say the unc in the cap can't talk to his kids?!
Don't be a fool!
This unc understands us rappers so well!
There's no way—
Unc?!
You're kidding, right?!
You can't talk to them after saying all that stuff?!
J-Just as you say, it's an armchair theory.
I struggle to even share a greeting with my daughters.
For real? You're admitting it, unc?!
Also, this was supposed to be over after two turns each!
Somebody stop them! I can't bear to watch!
No, wait.
Let him speak!
It's true that a child's feelings are crucial!
The importance of music and their studies are equal.
We should never force our feelings upon them,
and we must keep our ears open to what's within.
Instead of this fruitless fight between fathers,
we should focus...
on supporting...
our daughters!
Unc in the cap...
Watching over and supporting?
My ears are burning.
I'd forgotten how to interact with my son.
Thank you for reminding me how it's done,
and helping me recall what a father's for.
I'm ashamed to admit I tried to ignore...
my own son's...
failing scores.
That smart-looking unc's son has bad grades?
I get it. One of my parents went to a good university.
So I feel guilty, like I'm betraying his expectations.
Blaming the school? I couldn't be shifting the blame harder.
Allow me to use this chance to apologize for calling it uncouth.
Lamenting the environment comes from concern for our children.
I'm just as guilty of that.
I'm also sorry for getting so heated.
Though we were both lacking in areas,
our concern for our children is the same.
Let's both give it our best!
Yeah!
Let's hear it for these two uncs!
That had passion, unc!
You really conveyed how a father feels!
That was awesome!
Let's all take a photo together!
Oh, Father!
Where did you wander off to? We've been worried about you.
Hm? Oh, I'm sorry. I got caught up.
Come on. Let's hurry to my brother's class!
Sure.
I'm sure I'll never forget this day.
Freestyle
I'm very grateful to that good man and the kids of the rap club
for reminding me of something important.

It's finally time to switch!
What should I go see?
I'll contact Akina for now.
I just got out. Where are
Ah!
She's probably alone with Izubuchi, so I shouldn't interrupt them.
Uh, then Tasaki...
should still be working with the manga study club.
Wait, I'm talking to myself too much!
Huh?! Was I always like this when I was alone?!
I guess I've always been with someone.
What do I do with my free time?!
Let's go around the cultural festival together.
I'm really looking forward to it.
To seeing a festival with someone I love for the first time.
Don't go breaking your promise!
Jerk, dummy, klutz!
Prom Night Dance Party At The Gymnasium From 4:30 PM~
Now, come one, come all!
The Prom Dance Party starts at 4:30 PM!
Find your destined partner and join it together!
Excuse me. Have you received your card?
It's your chance to go after the girl you're into!
You might even get to become lovers!
I think we've gone around and promoted it quite a bit now.
By the way, Izubuchi-kun, um, are you still good?
You don't need to go take care of committee work?
Nope. It doesn't seem like anyone's gotten hurt so far.
I-I see.
Gah! I'm so happy we're alone together, but I can't make conversation!
He's clearly bored!
Poe or Tasaki, please come soon!
Oh! Excuse me for a second.
Huh?
What's the matter?
Where's your mama and papa?
My mama's gone.
Oh my. She is?
A scary old man who rolled his Rs spoke to me too!
Whoa, scary!
All right! Let's make an announcement and call her over.
Come with me!
Okay.
Oh, Mama!
Ah, thank goodness! I found you!
I'm glad.
What are you doing about the dance party?
I'm not going. I have a girlfriend.
Isn't that event a little too obvious, too?
They're desperate.
The participants have to be really starved of romance.
Huh?!
What did you say, trash?! Huh, come on?!
Menacing
No, we didn't say anything. Right?
Quit lying, y'hear?!
Now try saying that again, you idiot. Come on!
Bu— Izubuchi-kun! Stop, stop! It's fine! It's fine!
It's not good at all! They're bad-mouthing your—
That's gonna happen! Just bear with it!
To be honest, I think it is a little blatant,
even though I came up with the idea.
But that's perfectly fine as long as everyone can have fun!
As long as even one of them genuinely wants to confess their feelings,
then I couldn't be happier if this helps give them the courage to do so!
Tsk!
Fine, whatever.
Let go of me already.
Huh?!
Pardon me!
I see. Thanks.
He's still doing class monitor work?
Just how much is he going to work?!
Well, we haven't spoken in a week, so it's crazy awkward now.
Why did I get so mad at him?
I know Togo's a class monitor and stupidly diligent about it,
so I know he was just being stupidly diligent about his committee work.
I know that, but...
Hey, you! Wait!
No way!
That was close!
Are you all right?
I-I'm fine.
The boy who ran into you was certainly at fault,
but you should have been paying attention too.
Were you lost in thought?
Uh, well...
This old man reminds me of someone.
Well, regardless, let me see your foot.
Huh?!
Why do I have to show my foot to some old man I don't know?!
Are you a pervert?!
You seem to be misunderstanding me.
I'm just asking you to show me because you might have twisted your ankle.
I don't know if this coat I always carry around will serve as proof,
but I'm a doctor.
You can relax and let me examine you.
I've never seen a doctor who always carries a white coat with them!
I see.
So you're rejecting treatment.
Well, you should be fine if you have that much energy.
It's not like my foot hurts, so you don't need to look at it.
But thanks for saving me!
You're able to show gratitude?
Huh?
You're clearly wearing the outfit of an ill-mannered girl.
Are you belittling me?!
That was wrong of me.
I don't know the truth without real conversation.
I only just learned that lesson too.
Weird old man.
Conversation.
I want to talk to him.
To Togo.
Hey, come on!
Where's the dumbass who fell down the stairs?! Come out, you idiot!
Looks like she was okay.
A man in a white coat apparently saved her.
What did you say?
Huh? Where's the injured person?
Oh, a call.
Incoming Call President
President?!
H-H-Hello!
I'm sorry it took so long.
I've finally worked out a way to convince Kaoru-kun.
Could you follow the directions I'm about to give you?
Honestly, how deplorable!
Menacing
Those cretins keep skulking about in secret to promote illicit relationships—
Was it my imagination?
No, I'm sure I just...
Why are you in such a hurry? Searching for someone?
Hm?
What a miracle!
Ba-dump Ba-dump
To think I'd get to see her again!
I-I was...
searching for you.
But still, I never even imagined you were a student at this school!
Me too. I'm surprised.
Nadeshiko... I mean, our student council president, must have a lot of free time,
since she's apparently memorized the names and faces of all our students,
but I've always struggled with remembering others.
Oh no! I'm getting excited and sharing too much!
I shouldn't be talking about that hopeless Nadeshiko right now!
I've been wanting to see and talk to you again.
I'm happy we had this unexpected reunion.
Ba-dump Ba-dump Ba-dump
I-I-Is that so?
This means I have a chance, right?!
That reminds me, I haven't introduced myself yet!
I'm Kogori Kaoru, a third-year!
I serve as the vice president on the student council!
I'm Yama—
Yamada Hanako.
Oh, come on. That fake name sucks!
Poem-chan's retort crossed space-time.
Yamada Hanako!
What an exciting name!
He doesn't even care?!
So, what do you think, Yamada Hanako? Have you been enjoying the festival?!
Yes. Our cultural festival is impressive! It's full of life!
I know, Kaoru-kun!
Would you like to walk around and see it with me?!
Ba-dump
"K-Kaoru-kun"?!
She called me the same thing Nadeshiko does, but why do I feel so much happier?!
W-Well, of course!
Hm? No, wait!
It's my duty to crack down on illicit relationships,
so if the other students see me with a girl...
I'm sorry, but I'm busy today.
You can't?
Or so I thought,
but now I realize I'm dying of boredom!
That's too extreme a change of heart!
Revenge of the Fish Man
Oh! What's that?! Let's go see, Kaoru-kun!
A-All right!
I get it, so wait up!
Manga Study Club
Currently Selling Original Magazines
Shiriusu
I had been meaning to investigate the manga club
rumored to be selling an indecent magazine,
so this works out...
but the content seems perfectly normal.
Hmm, I see, I see.
I see, I see.
What is it, Yamada Hanako?!
I was just impressed by the content of this manga.
I-I see!
Th-This is—
It's an especially outstanding work!
At first glance, it's a normal shonen manga,
but then there's the cleverly hidden theme beneath it all!
Frankly, BL is outside of my expertise, but it's sucking me in!
There's power here!
Their pen-name...
2nd-Year P.N. Rambo 2nd-Year P.N. Otachi 1st-Year P.N. Ruinous Hominid Published By Chono Fujiko
is Ruinous Hominid!
The only first-year!
Rui-san, could you help out over there?
Yes, on it!
Rui?
Tasaki Rui? No way!
Are you Hominid?!
I truly enjoyed that!
They were all so good, it's hard to say which production was best.
Don't you agree, Kaoru-kun?!
Y-Yeah.
She's still so energetic even after enjoying herself to the fullest!
What a strong woman. So full of vitality!
Translation: John Pickett Timing: Mariana Martinez Editing: Zachary Carlysle Quality Control: SMR Translation Check: Rei Miyasaka
She might be a little pushy, but that's also...
Still, there's something oddly nostalgic about her forcefulness.
Stop! That's creepy!
Is something the matter, Kaoru-kun?
No, it's nothing!
By the way, Kaoru-kun.
There's one last thing I'd like you to do with me.
Do you mind?
I'll join you in anything at this point! Just say the word!
Height Over 180cm
I want you to join me for the Dance Party.
Th-That's...
Apparently, you're supposed to find a partner
matching the trait on these cards, and invite them to the party.
This one fits you perfectly, Kaoru-kun.
I-I'm sorry, Yamada Hanako!
I can't afford to participate in that!
Why not? You don't want to go with me?
That's not the case!
It's just that, as vice president,
I have to prevent illicit relationships—
It is now 4:30 PM.
Everyone participating in the Prom Dance Party,
please gather in the gymnasium.
Wha?! It's that time already?!
I repeat, everyone participating in the Prom Dance Party...
I'm sorry, Yamada Hanako!
Kaoru-kun!
Both those who have found their partners,
and those who haven't are welcome to come.
Everyone, please gather in the gymnasium.
