This is nothing short of a miracle!

Those seem out of reach.
But wait.
Hirose did say I was awesome.
Maybe we're pretty close to being friends now?
I've got this in the bag!
Good morning, gentlemen.
Hello.
Morning.
How's everyone doing?
Morning.
So how far did you get?
Check this out.
What? Since when have they been that close? Where'd this come from?
Top Secret
What'd you have for breakfast?
Huh? Fried fish and tuna mayo rice.
That's all fish.
It's supposed to be high in protein.
I'm trying to build muscle.
Very nice.
Vexing! Are They an Item?!
Hey.
So this guy's the boss?
Uh-huh.
RIP
No protein?
Creep, creep, creep.
You can't be serious.
No?
Stare.
C'mon, please.
Damn you, Takeuchi!
What's going on here?
What the hell am I being forced to watch?
Takeuchi will pay for this.
I've secretly dreamed of doing those things.
And he's doing all of it!
Oh, he'll pay!
You'll see. You won't get away with this, Takeuchi.
How much do you weigh?
Uh, a little over 50 kilos, I think.
I bet I could lift you.
What? I mean, I guess...
Just one time, okay?
What? Wait!
Don't!
See? Easy.
Hey! Put me down!
Stop struggling.
That's so funny.
What are they even doing?
You bonehead!
Do that over there!
C'mon. Yeah?
What? Again?
Wh-What was that about?
Say, "Ah."
Oh, sorry.
Hey, are you okay?
That was totally on purpose.
Well, Takeuchi? Learned your lesson yet?
I'm sure he'll stay away from Hirose now—
It didn't stop him at all.
Isn't this song good?
Yeah.
What? How? Why?
Hold on. Doesn't this mean Hirose just lets his friends act like that?
Friend
So if Hirose and I become friends in the future...
Friend
I see now. This is an opportunity.
This part of the song is great.
Are you guys dating?
Hey!
What?
I mean, you're all over each other.
I told you, didn't I? Look!
Why are they looking at me?
Could it be?
Is he doing this to spite me?!
Oh, right. You're trying to get Hamaoka's attention.
Yeah. This is all part of my strategy.
I told him there's gotta be a better way.
Didn't I tell you?
I heard Yuuka-chan loves nothing more than watching dudes flirt with each other.
Amazing!
What's so great about her?
Don't you think she's cute?
She's totally my type, looks-wise!
I can't believe you're helping him, Hirose.
I don't think there's any way this will work. Not a chance.
Me neither.
It totally works. See?
See? She's looking at us.
With how much you're flirting, who wouldn't stare?
Those two have been joined at the hip lately.
Something seems off, though.
Th-They must be really close.
Still, do we have to keep doing this?
Just a little longer.
At least until she talks to me.
Please.
What? That's not happening. Gimme a break.
Oh, c'mon, man. Don't be a spoilsport.
Actually, I've been wondering.
Huh?
Even if you somehow catch Hamaoka's interest,
it won't be romantically, right?
You're right!
I've been wasting my time!
I could say the same thing.
Why did you think it'd make her like you?
I worked so hard for nothing.
Okay. Steel yourself, Takeuchi.
Huh?
This isn't going to work.
SEETHE
Damn it. I can't take this anymore.
Get away from him.
I am so, so mad.
SEETHE
So, so, so mad!
So mad!
SEETHE
Why, you!
Hey, uh...
I've always had a crush on you!
Please go out with me!
Um, okay.
What? Really?
Sure.
If you'll flirt with more boys.
Heck yeah!
You're okay with that?
You heard her, Hirose! I look forward to working with you!
What?
Good morning.
Hirose and Takeuchi ultimately weren't an item, but I can't let my guard down.
I need to become his friend ASAP.
Something seems different today.
Hey, Yamada. Your hair's black.
Yeah, I bought a one-day dye.
Mako, you look so mid-century with black hair.
It's cute.
This is why I hate this time of year.
Oh, right. It's dress code check week.
The guidance counselors are really strict about it.
The other day, they made a big deal out of an undone shirt button.
An untidy uniform is a sign of an untidy mind.
Do that again, and you'll be cleaning bathrooms for a month.
You're screwed if you get caught.
Break the rules, and you get stuck doing something everyone hates,
like cleaning the bathrooms or the gutters.
Of course, I don't really get in trouble since I mostly follow the rules.
Hirose's not here yet?
Okay, settle down.
The bell's going to ring soon.
Well, color me impressed.
A sea of natural hair colors.
Huh?
Hirose and Ohmori aren't here yet?
Oh, they said they had some kind of meeting and would be late.
Aren't they a little too late for that, though?
I told you, it's not like that!
This is my natural hair color!
You're that desperate to have a flashy hair color? How bold of you.
It's the truth.
Ow!
You can always identify dyed hair by the unevenness of the color.
Maybe it's been a while since you dyed it.
I'm telling you the truth.
I get why you stopped me, but isn't this a bit extreme?
H-Hirose-kun?
So my hair color's a little light. What's the big deal?
I would've let you off the hook if you hadn't said anything,
but it sounds like you need to be taught a lesson.
As your guidance counselor, I order you to dye your hair black by tomorrow.
Are you serious? This is my natural hair color.
Would you make a foreign student dye their hair black, too?
You just don't know when to stop talking, do you?
Yamagiwa-sensei, go ahead.
Th-Those are...
H-Hair clippers?
For defying a teacher, I sentence you to baldness.
Sentenced to Baldness
Hirose-kun!
This is your last chance to apologize.
I...
I won't do it!
You don't know when to give up.
Do it, Yamagiwa-sensei.
Is there a problem with one of my students?
Oh, he's one of yours?
I'm teaching him a lesson for talking back to a teacher.
I see. Well, that's no good.
Hirose, come with me.
What?
Otogiri-sensei?
As his homeroom teacher, it's my job to discipline him.
Come on.
What? Wait!
Hey, is he gonna be okay?
Quit screwing around, Hirose!
Who do you think you're talking to?
I'm sorry!
Looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson!
P-Please, no!
What do you think you're coming to school for?
Screwing around will come back to bite you! Understand?
Sorry!
W-Wait, Otogiri-sensei.
That's quite enough disciplining, I think.
I, um...
Oh, you think so?
Well, as you can see, he's sorry for what he did.
Yes, that's enough.
Thank you. We should go now.
All right, everyone. Take your seats.
A-Are you...
H-Hirose-kun, are you okay?
What? Was that an act?
Quit screwing around, Hirose!
Looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson!
P-Please, no!
What do you think you're coming to school for?
Screwing around will come back to bite you! Understand?
Sorry!
S-So that's what that was?
Is that right?
It got me out of shaving my head.
Come on, come on. Take your seats.
Otogiri-sensei is so awesome.
Teachers like him are great.
Huh?
Maybe I'll become a teacher.
That'd be cool.
Is this going where I think it's going?
Wait.
Uh, Hirose?!
Hey, Sensei.
Huh?
Could you help me with this?
Hm? You don't normally ask questions about schoolwork.
Heh. Ouch.
Sensei.
Hey, be careful.
Sorry.
Sheesh.
This is seriously crazy.
Hirose's in love with Otogiri-sensei.
What should I do? At this rate, Hirose will...
Wow!
Gigant Protein

This is it!
Wow, Nakamura!
You're so cool. I wish I could be like you.
I'll carry your bags anytime.
The best way to distinguish myself from Otogiri-sensei is to get ripped.
If I get swole, Hirose will have to admit I'm better.
*Follow the recommended serving size
Now I'll be huge and attractive.
Do you think just drinking that will make you jacked?
Finally, tan θ is the ratio of the adjacent side and the opposite side.
A triangle can be defined by these three ratios.
Let's apply these concepts to this triangle.
Crap. I drank too much protein powder.
Who wants to solve this one?
Nakamura.
S-Sensei, Nakamura doesn't seem to be feeling well.
He does look kind of pale.
Do you need to see the nurse?
S-Sorry.
Can I go with him?
Sure, thanks.
H-Hirose's coming with me?
Because he's the class health rep?
Or because he sees me as a friend?
Don't worry about it. I'm the class health rep.
Yeah, figures.
Are you okay? We can go slowly if you need to.
Y-Yeah.
You can lean on me if you want.
Th-Thanks.
Why does this have to be happening when I'm alone with Hirose?
What?
H-Hey!
Nakamura?
Th-This sucks. P-Please close the door.
Must be rough. You can puke if you have to.
So warm.
Such a gentle hand.
Nurse's Office
What does it take to raise a saint like this?
Did you eat something bad?
Excuse us.
Huh? Kohri-sensei isn't here.
I'll stay here until Kohri-sensei returns.
Don't you need to get back to class?
It's okay. I'm worried about you.
Let me know if you need anything.
Th-Thanks.
He's an angel!
Damn it. Why can't I even drink protein powder?
I'm so pathetic.
Hey. Is Nakamura okay?
Oh, it's just you.
What does that mean?
Otogiri-sensei?
Nakamura's asleep.
He seemed a little better after puking earlier.
Really? Then, let's wait for Kohri-sensei.
Hold on. Doesn't this mean they're alone together?
I mean, I'm here, but still.
What about your next class?
I have a free period.
Oh.
Sensei, will you help me with math again?
Oh? Taking your studies seriously. That's good.
This sucks. Why is this happening?
What are you doing, Sensei?
Playing a game. I'm just getting the login bonus.
Huh.
Hey, can I get your LINE ID?
My LINE ID, huh?
What? Is that a no?
That'd be pretty cute if you were a girl.
What? What does that mean?
Okay, fine. Let's trade IDs.
I don't want to anymore.
Don't sulk.
What? Wait, are they an item?
Huh? Your given name is Sou?
They're talking about his name now?
Is this for real? That's super intimate!
You just learned that?
You seem like an Akira.
What does that mean?
Wait, wait, wait. Nope. There's no way.
This is a teacher and his student.
There's absolutely no way.
What's wrong?
I need to suck cheeks.
Oh.
Can't it wait?
Actually, I do it all the time.
What? He wants to suck cheeks?
I don't mind. I can handle it.
He doesn't mind?!
Schools are strict about it.
Isn't everywhere? I don't think any place allows that!
Huh.
Damn it. I had no idea they were so close.
He got Hirose's contact info, which I'd do anything for,
and he gets to suck his cheeks.
I can't take it anymore. I want to die.
I'm useless and frail. I've hardly even spoken to him.
What can I even do?
By the way, have you decided where to go for next week's extracurricular lesson?
Uh, not yet.
You'll have plenty of free time.
You should check out as many places as you can.
Okay.
That's right. I still have the extracurricular lesson.
There's still hope.
I can recover from this!
I'll turn this crappy situation around!
Like here.
Wow.
In Yokohama!
At the extracurricular lesson in Yokohama...
