Akarin!

Hey! Yuru Yuri is starting.

Ding Dong

What?

We know you're in there, Akari!

Come on out.

If you don't get up, you'll be late.

Kyoko-chan? Yui-chan?

Um... what do you mean, late?

What? Oh, no!

I'm Akaza Akari.

I'm a bit of a spaz, but I'm an energetic young girl.

I may be acting frantic this morning,

but I'm actually really excited.

Because I...

Because I...

Kyoko-chan, Yui-chan, thanks for waiting!

Are we going to be late?

We're going to be late.

Huh? What?

I forgot today's my first day of middle school!

Yuru Yuri

Episode 1

Middle School Debut!

Oh, no! I'm so embarrassed!

I can't say I didn't see this coming.

It certainly isn't unexpected.

Go for something even stronger next time!

We really are going to be late.

Oh, no. I'm going to get changed!

Yui, do you want to go for a walk?

Where?

Inside her house!

What?

It's been a while since we've been in Akari's house.

Yeah, you're right.

Let's take a peek.

Stop it.

Hey, Yui.

Huh?

We match.

Sorry, thanks for-

Stop playing with my panties!

Sorry, sorry.

Come on. Let's go.

Sister's Room

Do Not Enter

Let's take a look.

Oh, wo-

Huh?

Recently, my panties have been disappearing.

The other day, my crab panties...

Akari, have you ever been in your sister's room?

She hasn't let me in for a while now.

I guess even sisters need their privacy, though.

Yeah, it's for the best.

I'd like to join the student council

to make this school an even better place for everyone.

Acting like a goody-two-shoes?

What an idiot.

What did you say?

You wanna fight?

Next, Akaza-san.

Yes.

Uh, Akaza...

Go for something even stronger next time!

That's right. I'm a middle school student.

Touch everyone's heart!

Nice to meet you! I'm Akaza Akari!

Huh? Did I come on too strong?

Um, I'm Akaza Akari.

I look forward to spending the year with everyone.

Akaza-san, which club will you be joining?

I'm going to join the Amusement Club!

Smash your heart! Experience youth with us!

New students, let's find the runner's high in the evening sun!

Go for Budokan! Go for Kohaku!

Tea Club

Once more!

Akari, congratulations on your acceptance

and entry to the Amuesment Club!

Hooray! Let's celebrate.

In any case...

Cheers!

It's been a while since we've all gone to school together.

Not since we graduated from elementary school last year.

I'm glad we're together again.

Akari...

Here's your key to our love nest.

What?

Hey, I'm right here.

It's the key to this club room.

The club room...

By the way, what is the Amusement Club?

And this tea room...

Oh, right. We didn't tell you yet.

This is the Tea Club's room.

They disbanded, so no one's using it right now.

So we're secretly using it.

Really?

We hang out in here during breaks.

I see. Sounds relaxing.

So, what do you do?

Well...

We just hang out and do whatever we want!

What?

That's no fun!

Huh?

I'm a middle schooler now!

Lounging around is fine, but...

Isn't there anything more exciting?

Exciting, huh?

Exciting...

Exciting... exciting...

Exciting!

I'm sorry. Please stop!

I know!

Wouldn't it be exciting if the train were a roller coaster?

That sounds scary.

Really?

Then what about a really fast ferris wheel?

How are you supposed to get on and off?

Huh? Maybe it'd just stop for that.

That sounds terrible.

Now I feel like going to an amusement park.

I love merry-go-rounds!

That's not an exciting ride.

Neither is a ferris wheel, for that matter.

Then what should we do?

Excitement, huh?

It's a bit typical, but...

What about love?

Love?

Is there anyone you like, Akari?

What?

I like the two of you!

T-Thanks...

What about you, Kyoko-chan?

I love myself!

Yeah, that makes sense.

Then what about you, Yui-chan?

Me? I...

There's no one in particular.

I guess there isn't much excitement to be had...

Middle schoolers shouldn't dream.

You're giving up hope

on your first day as a middle schooler?

Huh?

Wow.

This is the latest volume of "Witch Girl Mirakurun"!

Kyoko-chan, I read the Mirakurun doujin you gave me.

It was really interesting!

Really?

Yeah! Kyoko-chan, you've gotten even better at drawing.

There's a lot of room for improvement.

Are you writing another "Mirakurun" doujin?

Of course!

Shine on, Miracle Run-Run Energy!

Mirakurun Pretty Change!

The witch of love and justice, Mirakurun, has arrived!

Since I started writing doujins,

nothing has been more fun than drawing Mirakurun!

What do you know?

I already have my excitement!

Tea Club

As long as I have Mirakurun, I'm happy!

Huh?

E-excuse me!

I'm Yoshikawa Chinatsu.

Um, I'd- I'd like to join your club!

Mi...

Mirakurun?

Yuru Yuri

Yuru Yuri

My older sister.

Beautiful and kind.

Very demure.

I've always wanted to be just like her.

Just like her.

Just like her.

This isn't the Tea Club?

Yes. The Tea Club was disbanded.

it didn't have enough members.

Disbanded?

Then what club is this?

Well, this is...

You're the girl who gave that embarrassing introduction.

Oh, you're the girl who sits next to me!

What sort of introduction did you give?

I'm Toshino Kyoko!

This is the Amusement Club, not the Tea Club!

I believe you're meant to be here!

Calm down!

Sorry, she's just overexcited.

Don't mind her.

I'm Funami Yui.

Uh, okay.

Sorry, but I came here to join the Tea Club.

Don't worry about that!

You can reestablish the Tea Club

once you gather enough members,

so why don't you stay with us in the meantime?

What?

All the Tea Club's stuff is still here.

If you really want to, you could even practice.

You don't know what you're talking about, do you?

Right?

O... Okay...

Accepted

Nice to meet you, Chinatsu-chan.

Nice to meet you, too.

Mirakurun- Chinatsu-chan,

why do you want to join the Tea Club?

Because my sister's in a Tea Club.

It must be nice starting school knowing what you want to do.

Should we be lounging around like this?

Huh? What do you mean?

Well...

I just thought we should experience

our youth to the fullest in an ordinary club.

But...

As long as I have Mira- Chinatsu-chan, I'm happy.

Don't scare the newbie.

Ow. I didn't even do anything.

Chinatsu-chan, let me know if anything happens.

I'll protect you.

I'll protect you!

How rude!

I wouldn't do anything weird!

Really?

Yeah! So let's go buy a Mirakurun Transformation Set!

Were you even listening?

Hold on!

Hey!

Did you know there's a candy store nearby?

Really?

Let's go.

We'll treat you in honor of your acceptance.

Hooray!

This way's shorter.

Champion of love and justice, Mirakurun Transformation Set,

acquired beautifully!

Come on, Chinatsu-chan!

Where'd she go?

One Week Later

Akari-chan, let's go to the club room.

Okay.

Since then, Chinatsu-chan

seems to have settled into the Amusement Club.

I'm happy for her.

Akari-chan, go ahead.

Huh?

Okay.

Chinatsu-chan!

Hello, Yui-senpai.

Tea's ready.

Thanks, Chinatsu-chan!

Yui-senpai, here you are.

Thank you.

This is delicious.

No wonder you wanted to join the Tea Club.

It's delicious, Chinatsu-chan.

Please stop, Kyoko-senpai.

Yea, yea...

Mira- Chinatsu-chan, Chinatsu-chan.

Ow, ow!

Cut it out.

Yui-senpai!

There, there.

Yui, don't steal my Chinatsu-chan.

Mira- Chinatsu-chan, you're so cute!

Kyoko-senpai, I can't breathe!

Kyoko!

Chinatsu-chan, Chinatsu-chan.

I can't breathe! Help me, Yui-senpai!

Kyoko, cut it out!

You're here.

How mean!

Didn't we come here together, Chinatsu-chan?

Actually, there's something I've been wondering about...

Akari, you don't have much presence, do you?

What?

That's not true!

You started out like the protagonist of a school anime,

but since Chinatsu-chan joined the club,

I hardly notice you any more.

Yui-chan! She's wrong, right?

It's not true, is it?

I'm sorry.

You didn't say anything!

Let's hold a meeting to discuss Akari's future.

The future of Akari's middle school life

depends on this meeting!

You don't need to make such a big deal out of this.

It's not easy having a weak presence.

For example, during PE, when the teacher says to pair up, she can't find someone and has to work with the teacher.

During PE, she couldn't find a partner,

so she had to work with the teacher.

During lunch, she hadn't received her pudding yet,

but people started fighting over what they

thought was a leftover pudding right in front of her.

Oh, and...

Please help me!

Let's make a new outstanding quality

Let's reveal on three.

One, two...

All your sound effects are "Akarin"

Boob Missiles

Invisible Girl

Huh?

When you put all of them together, you get...

Akarin

This.

You're so mean!

My stomach hurts...

Akarin!

Chinatsu-chan, say something!

I'm not laughing.

Liar!

Second attempt to discuss Akari's future!

I can trust you this time, right?

Witch Girl Mirakurun is practically made of presence!

If you have what it takes to be a protagonist,

you'll be all set!

Qualities a protagonist should have

If you think of something, put it in the box!

Presence Girl

What an awful name.

Looks like we've got a few ideas.

I wonder how it'll turn out?

Secrets of the Super Prominent Protagonist!!

Director Toshino Kyoko

This time already?!

Oversleeps Often

Why didn't anyone wake me?

Girls Fall From The Sky

I don't have time for this. I need to go to school.

Extremely Adaptable

Oh, right. It's supposed to rain this afternoon.

What is this?

Finds A Legendary Sword

I only have three more minutes!

I'm going to be in trouble!

Someone stop time!

It stopped.

Lucky! I've got to get going!

Powers Awaken At A Crucial Moment

Hold on a minute!

What's wrong?

The next element's "pointlessly popular."

Well, um... I don't understand.

Yeah, me neither.

Cheer up, Akari.

That's right.

You've got plenty of good qualities.

Yui-chan, Chinatsu-chan...

Yeah, you're a...

good girl.

Yeah, a good girl.

And you're...

a really good girl.

Yes, a really good girl.

What else? What else?

Akari, Akari.

"Your lack of outstanding qualities is your outstanding quality."

You're just making fun of me, aren't you?

If that's how it is...

I won't rely on anyone any more!

I'll create a new personality all on my own!

This is the first time I've seen you like this!

You must be serious.

Akari-chan, you're on fire!

Allow me to announce my strategy

for having more presence than anyone else!

It's...

It's...?

It's...

What is it?

It's...

Toshino Kyoko!

Huh? Ayano?

What's wrong with you?

Excuse us.

What?

M...

My...

My presence!

Akarin! Did you enjoy the Yuru Yuri anime?

I play a major role starting in the next episode too,

so don't miss it!

What?

The next episode's focus is the student council?

My presence is in danger!
