{Y:i}The girl he had a crush on moved away

{Y:i}hajime haruno regretted never having told her, nor talked to her

{Y:i}Not that it was going to make any difference,

{Y:i}as he knew he never had the guts to confess anyway

{Y:i}And all this self criticism made him

regret even more

THE TASTE OF TEA

Sachiko!

What?

The tea's getting cold!

Or it could be

Like this

Like this

Yeah the hands

Like this

And

That could work

The hand and

I like it

Remember that pose, okay? I'll go get the camcorder

Okay? Just a sec

Go

It's a bit

different than before

It was like this, and then you went

You know, I'm thinking This pose?

I think I'll go with this

That?

Isn't this better?

Early July, I make my way into a field of blooming sunflowers,

Facing the golden sunlight as they set my heart on fire

Are your eyes ablaze? Are your ears ablaze?

Is your soul ablaze?

It recalls the words of Buddha in the primordial Sutta Nipata scriptures

For a long time, nothing burnt me I spoke to no one,

answered to no one Being a daughter, a mother a wife

and a human being kept me busy, made me forget

The color of the burning sky, the smell of the warm earth Who is that calls?

Why am I not running, now that I've been released in the field?

Right, then Another poetry recital from the vice principal

Now, Murakami, anything on behalf of the student council?

Yes

Um this is what we decided at our last meeting

1 Don't pick fights with Yamaguchi

2 Don't throw stones at his house

Sachiko haruno was wondering

{Y:i}When on earth was that giant version of her going to disappear?

{Y:i}And whenever she wondered, there was a story she always remembered,

{Y:i}as she was doing now, a story told by her uncle

You know that pond you often go to?

That area used to be a forest

Folks here called it the haunted forest

And so well

dunno, maybe kids these days don't believe in haunted forests but

I guess

You guess ? Anyway, er Oh, yeah

So I was in 6th grade

No, in 5th about 5th grade

In the haunted forest?

Right, where I took a shit outdoors for the very first time

Shit outdoors? Yep

For some reason there were lots of wild chickens out there

maybe they flew the coop, dunno, but kinda having no money,

I used to go there to find eggs, y'know?

And on that day of my first outdoor shit, I didn't go to the bathroom all day

Even after school, I was wandering about, looking for a good spot

I ended up going to the forest, but still couldn't decide where to do it

It's surprising how much you struggle in spite of wanting to go for it, y'know?

Anyway, I soon came across this egg

It was half buried in the ground, like somebody had tried to hide it

It was weird, but somehow gave me the impetus And I badly needed to go

So, I did it, right then and there

Because I'd kept it in for so long, it was quite a dump

I felt great afterwards, till I noticed how dark it had gotten

I suddenly felt scared and went home But on the way back, I started thinking

What the hell was a huge egg like that doing there?

And why did someone try to bury it?

And on top of that, why did I have to shit on it?

Normally I'd have brought it back home, a big egg like that

And thinking like that made me feel really miserable

But I let it pass for the day

After that I kept going back to look for it, but it just

disappeared

It's not like I wasn't familiar with the forest, y'know?

But I couldn't find it

So I finally gave up looking

And that's when this guy showed up

What guy?

A guy covered with tattoos, bleeding

You mean, like a ghost or something?

Yeah, maybe

God

He'd be watching me at every turn

It was freaky He'd be there whenever I let my guard down

Like when?

Like when I'd be cleaning up at school

Raking the school yard cleaning out the chicken coop

You were cleaning 24/7!

Shut up! He also appeared when I was studying, right here in this room!

And when I visited the shrine

Anyway, he'd show up, no He'd just be there, watching me

But why was he covered in blood and tattoos?

Beats me

Wonder why Anyway he was all bloody, tattooed

And had shit on his head

Shit?!

Yeah Shit blood and tattoos

Wait, does that have anything to do with you shitting in the haunted forest?

Dunno probably not

Anyway, so this guy Hey, it's a pretty good story, right?

Yeah weird but cool

So he's watching me, till one day, he suddenly disappears

Disappears?!

I was working on the horizontal bar

Practicing all day, while he stared on

I'd sorta gotten used to him by then

So I thought what the heck and kept practicing

Then, when I finally got around the bar,

he disappeared

Just like that

Sachiko often wondered if the best way to get rid of the big Sachiko was to do

{Y:i}a backflip on the horizontal bar

{Y:i}however, something held her back, kept her from practicing

{Y:i}One of the key points being

{Y:i}that the man watching her uncle was a total stranger covered in blood,

{Y:i}whereas the person watching her, was herself

{Y:i}Perhaps his case wasn't so useful in solving her problem, she'd conclude,

{Y:i}every time she remembered his story

{Y:i}Anyway, there actually was another episode even Ayano didn't know about

{Y:i}Something which happened right about the time he managed his first backflip

Boss!

Hey

What the hell

Skull fracture?

No See this and this? Guy's been shot

It's a yakuza case?

Yes

Shit

Is that like, for calligraphy?

Are you kidding? 'Course not!

Hey, look at me Yes

How do I look?

Nice

And this? What do you think?

Awful Killed, buried and crapped on

Didn't happen at the same time

How do you know?

You have to ask?

He didn't die a skeleton did he?

And what of the miraculously fresh shit?

Decomposition first, then came the shit

Oh

Better check the shit out as well then

Yes You do it

Here

{Y:i}Around that time, Ayano did a successful backflip in the schoolyard

{Y:i}And the ghost of the dead yakuza who had been stalking Ayano,

{Y:i}was finally set free from the stench and from this earth

{Y:i}In light of how it returned a lost and angry soul of a yakuza to afterlife,

{Y:i}one could say, Ayano's shi ahem, droppings did have certain merits

{Y:i}Wouldn't you agree?

{Y:i}I like you I like you a lot, hajime

{Y:i}PS I'll be waiting at Romanchi after school today

{Y:i}Romanchi

I felt up Aizawa's breasts!

No way! Which hand? Which hand?

This hand? You perv!

How did she react?

She was wearing a bra And they were firm Firm!

Wait wait wait You're pissing off Matsuken

Apologize, man Apologize

I'm sorry

But how did she react?

Like, y'know?

You lucky bastard!

Boing!

Aw I'd kill for that!

But who'd you pick as a wife?

I'd go for Kazumi Furune from Class B

No way! Kazumi? I like her, too

Huh? Really? Get your own!

I've liked her since first year

Me too

She gave me a gift on Valentine's Day

How about you?

Me? Linda

In first year?

You like 'em young?

You watch your mouth!

I DO like 'em young!

Jailbaits?

Uh oh Entering dangerous territory!

Young works for me

I'm all for it if it's Matsuken

Aw what a loss man!

Here he comes!!

Hurry up!

Make sure he doesn't see you!

Legs out! Head in!

You've gotta seduce him!

Hey Hajime!

Not even listening

Ah well

It's all your fault

Me? It's yours! You and your ugly legs!

Ugly and gross

Excuse me but I'm the one who had to shave my legs till I was raw

Well, man I think it looks pretty sexy

Not sexy, but like, nice and smooth!

What's nice about 'em huh?

Touch 'em

Feels like sandpaper!

What, you like him?

Yeah he does!

Not like that Not like that

I just like smooth legs! End of story

Anyway, we're way off topic

We were talking about Hajime

{Y:i}One month had passed since the girl moved

{Y:i}And he was on the brink of female phobia

{Y:i}There were two reasons for this,

Namely'The Soba Noodle Shop Incident' and'The Convenience Store Incident'

'The Soba Noodle Shop Incident'

Set B, please

What's wrong? Huh?

What?

Nothing

We don't have to, y'know?

You're saying that now?

We don't need to go

Whatever

What do you mean whatever?

Huh?

What?

What?

I'm not forcing you

I'll go!

Why?

What do you mean?

I don't want you to feel pressured

I'm saying I'll go!

It'll be over before it starts

Hey

Will you really love me more?

I love you just the way you are

So I don't need to go?

Give it a rest, okay?

Sorry

You said you wanted it too

I wanted to make you happy

I did some research, read up on it

They say it feels totally natural

You mean when men squeeze them

Don't talk like that!

No I mean when women 'wear' them?

All I care about is if you'll love me more and more and more!

Don't make light of this

But that's all that's been running through my head!

Don't worry It won't feel strange

It won't?! Of course it'll feel weird!

It's fine, apparently

But

You've said you wanted big breasts too

Big tits

Don't you want 'em?

Yeah

Let's go It's time

It'll be fine

Should I call my mom?

No, that's not necessary

She might worry

She'll be fine

Maybe you could call her for me?

No way! That'd be too weird

Uh uh Too fucking weird

Here you go

'The Convenience Store Incident'

Hey, what's up?

My girl needed pantyhose

Oh Hey, did she hit you again?

Can you tell?

You're black and blue

Still hurts when I breathe

But no sweat, eh? Tough guy

I've gotten used to it

Used to it?!

Yeah

Your girlfriend's scary

What did he want?

He wants Ayano to make his CD

His CD?

He's a manga artist, not a musician

Well

He's singing?

Yes He also wrote the song

Why is he asking Ayano then?

'Cause he's a pro?

That's way too much trouble And not his style

Well, they did fall out before Grandpa!

See, you're choking!

Damn

Leave the tomatoes! Why don't you take a bath? Huh?

Hello? It's me Stop hassling Ayano

None of your business, brother

But I'm serious too

What's wrong with a manga artist making a CD?

It's not for sale just a private thing

A birthday gift for myself

Yeah, yeah, yeah

But that's between Ayano and me

And it's been settled

Financially With money

It won't cause you any trouble

Eh? I see Okay I'll call him directly

Gimme a break and shut the fuck up!

What? Are you stupid? Yeah, I'm listening

Hey, don't transfer any money!

'Cause I'm not gonna do it! Mixing your birthday song?

Do it yourself, asshole! No, I'm telling you not to

If you transfer it, I'll use it, but I ain't mixing shit for you

Whatever, dickhead! I'm hanging up

I swear to God I'm deleting this

Um, I can play the keyboards

Good enough for a demo

Really?

Yes Why don't we make the demo first,

send it to Ayano, and then ask him if he'll do it?

Really?

And the chorus?

I can sing too

And dance? Dance?

{Y:i}You're hot water I know

That birthday song of his Wonder what it's like

Sachiko?

{Y:i}Your feelings, your heart The comfort you offer

{Y:i}For you are hot water For you are hot water

Hey, hurry up!

Move it!

Sorry!

You filthy bastards!

Don't get dirt on it

We won't

I'm starving

Dumplings at Sudo's, bro?

Sudo's? Closed already The old gal closes up early

Oh

I wouldn't mind Ran Ran's dumplings

Ran Ran, now that's a plan We haven't eaten there in ages

My treat Let's go

Oh Yeah!

Don't you dare leave stains!

So this is the red elephant, discovered by Poliades the 13th

Look carefully at its tail At the tip, where it's curled

When an elephant's tail is curled, it suggests that in its next life

Haruno, are you listening? Eyes over here, please

In its next life, it'll become something with natural perm Okay?

The curly tail will be passed on This'll be in the exam

It's been raining since morning The baby fox was lazing about

'Why don't I write a letter?' But he saw Rabbit and Raccoon yesterday

'I know! I'll write to Mouse '

'I haven't seen her for days '

She hurt her leg and can't go outside

So I'm lying there and suddenly

Like this

See the difference? He's amazing

That's beautiful

A true master

Please eat eat

Go ahead

Thank you

Nobuo?

You know this is my last night

Will you do that for me?

Sure

Great!

{Y:i}That?

{Y:i}That

What's'that'?

Inhale Together with me

Exhale

Inhale Exhale

Now Look at this

Stare at the light Stare

Concentrate

You're blinking more than usual

And your eyelids are becoming heavier, but that's fine

Becoming heavier And heavier

And finally they become so heavy, they close,

and stay that way

You've now reached a very deep place

It feels very good there

A place that belongs to you alone, where nobody can bother you

You can only hear the sound of my voice

You'll be able to hear nothing else

I will now remain silent for a while

{Y:i}'The Jungle girl who shocked the nation!!'

{Y:i}'Discovered in the wild 13 years ago!!'

{Y:i}'Brace yourselves, 'cos she's back!!'

{Y:i}'As a comedian!!'

Enjoy

You can turn it up now

You sure?

They can only recognize my normal voice

Who is this?

Jungle girl turned comedian

{Y:i}hello, we're Tokyo Dombi Combi!!

{Y:i}Look at her, everyone!! She used to live in the jungle!!

{Y:i}Unbelievable, right? I mean, she looks just like the girl next door

{Y:i}I used to be like a saber toothed tiger!!

{Y:i}Wrong cue, partner

{Y:i}Well, at least you can tell this is really a live show!!

So, um, as to why I decided to team up with her

{Y:i}A saber toothed tiger!!

So, um

{Y:i}'Please Wait a Moment '

I totally experienced a new world

A new world?

Space rushing towards me like crazy, blinding my vision

And I was mixing I might be the real deal!

You already are

The real Shit Nobuo! I feel embarrassed!

Well mine had some cool moves

Your tea

It was like a 3 D burst of colors right from here!

I know!

It felt great!

Then what happens?

Then I become a part of it, and nothing matters anymore

It's not about what happens next

Why?

Well, it's somehow liberating to assimilate with that world

Probably because it belongs to my subconscious I think

Why?

It might be hard for you to understand, because it's my world

Even I don't get it

Just like so many other things in this world, yes?

Do you know what I mean?

Please give it back

What? Isn't this it?

Hey, wanna trust me with this track?

It's platinum disc material

You're nuts

There's a white wall

A white wall

Observe it and give me more details

It goes on, forever and ever

It's tall and in front of me, on my sides, behind me, extending into infinity

And you where are you in this white world of yours?

I'm floating in the air

Wearing this white bodysuit thingy something sort of fitted

thin and translucent over my whole body

with something cute and fluffy, like bunny ears on my head

And I'm floating in the air

That sounds nice

Very, very nice
