Let's draw and have fun!

Kisaragi-oneesan, Kisaragi-oneesan!

What's the matter, Suneko-san?

Well, you know... Today...

We've got a guest!

Hiya, I'm Tomokane.

Oh, wow. Luxury service, huh?

Yep. I've done everything you can think of.

You know, like climbing a tree and having the branches collapse under me.

We didn't even ask her about that...

Oh yeah... You know,

I liked those working cars.

Really?

Yeah. I had them make cars out of cardboard, and I'd pretend to drive them.

I wonder what happened with that.

I don't know.

Well, then.

They were really sturdy, you know?

Oh?

Huh?

Oh, that's...

It's a bloodmobile.

Oh, that's what I thought it was.

I've never seen one close-up like this.

Look, Buchi-san!

They drive around collecting blood, right?

It's bad manners to point, Aa-san.

Hmm... So this is the principal's new car, eh?

Maybe you start wanting to drive stuff like this instead of fancy imported cars once you get to be 74.

I'm... not sure what to say to that.

They came here often when I was a student too.

Oh, Usami-sensei, you're an alumnus?

I never had the chance to donate blood myself, though.

I am kind of interested...

It might be a good idea. They seem to be running a bit low, after all.

Okay, cigarettes... where are they...?

Sasamoto-sensei, why don't we go together?

What? You're acting like a kid who can't stand to go the bathroom by herself.

I'd be lonely... and kind of uneasy, if I went alone...

Well, then ask Sotoma-sensei or someone. He's in charge of you, isn't he?

Yeah, rely on him. Not me.

That doesn't matter, does it?

TEACHER'S LOUNGE

Get off of me!

So mean!

Hey, Sotoma-sensei,

can you take this kid to the blood drive?

Blood drive?

Oh, good timing.

I was just about to ask you about it.

Eh?

They're going to ask the high schoolers to donate, so

Homeroom Teacher

Deputy-Homeroom Teacher

can you take any volunteers with you?

Oh, I see...

Ah, right... yeah, I remember now.

Hmm?

As you've all heard, we may be calling for group blood donation later today.

Also...

They're asking for the high schoolers to provide a mascot fro the blood drive.

We'll be doing that during the 5th and 6th period design class today.

Glance through it.

Sotoma-sensei...

Huh?

So you can skip that class if you go to the blood drive?

You're pretty upfront about things.

Well, yes, that's the case.

You can choose as you please.

After you turn 16, that is.

Eh~?

You can donate blood after turning 16

You can donate blood after turning 16

The teacher saw it coming.

Namiko-san is the only one of us who can donate blood.

Will you do so, Namiko-dono?

Well, I didn't really have an opinion... but seeing Noda kind of made me want to go.

Damn you, Namiko-san.

Aww, I wanted to see what the inside of the bloodmobile was like.

We don't know what they do when they're donating blood, after all.

That's right.

When I was a grade school student, I didn't even know what a blood drive was.

I thought those cars used blood as fuel.

So I was wondering which "blood drive" gave the best speed.

That's...

environmentally friendly?

It's hard on the humans, though.

How much blood would they need?

TEACHER'S LOUNGE

You want a mascot character to popularize the blood drive with?

Homeroom Teacher

Yeah.

Are you going to post that?

Why would the blood drive need a mascot?

Hey, they've got a lot of uses.

You can put 'em in commercials and on leaflets.

Please help with the blood drive

Also...

don't you see things like this sometimes?

Oh, costumes.

I wanna do that when I grow up!

And get abused by children!

Then I wanna get tissue paper from Aa-san when I grow up.

That sounds so fun!

It must be nice, being young and having so many useless dreams...

I've collected some stuff from the blood drive's website. It might help us out.

Nice work, Kyouju.

Oh, man, there are a lot of them in each prefecture.

Most of them have a heart as the symbol.

I guess it means... love and peace?

A blood drive of love, maybe?

Eh? Doesn't it come from the human heart?

I see...

Eh? Eh?

She's bright red.

She isn't totally wrong, though.

I bet she's thinking that she said something totally out of character.

And Kisaragi-chan says differently...

Excuse me,

those that are volunteering for the blood drive, please come with me.

I'll be going.

Don't raise a fuss, okay?

Ah... I'm kind of nervous.

I am too, actually.

Oh, you're going to donate too, Usami-sensei?

I wasn't sure about it earlier, but

if my students are going to, then I need to be brave too.

Set a perfect example for us, then.

But...

Maybe after I make sure that all of you survive it...

Okay?

Well, that's my duty, after all...

I thought you needed to be brave?

None of them really speak to me, though...

Well, since the mascots are supposed to build public interest...

It should be something that makes you want to donate blood the minute you see it, right?

Hmm... Something like this!

Donate Blood, please...

Donate Blood, please...

Donate Blood, please...

Donate Blood, please...

Hmm... We keep kinda drawing the same thing, don't we.

Well, I don't think we really have a lot of ideas on the subject of blood donation.

So, yeah, they'll be the same.

Okay, then why don't we list everything that comes to mind when we hear the words "blood drive," then?

Counter-clockwise, like so...

Sure.

Okay.

Here we go.

The scene of an accident!

Blood transfusion!

Blood red!

Rose.

A drama full of love and hate!

L-love affairs?

The husband catching up! The wife running away!

A private eye investigating the affair!

Photographic evidence!

Umm... um... the couple has a fight!

Her husband is unable to stop himself, and pays a visit to the other man...

A bloodbath was unavoidable.

The sound of sirens echoing from afar!

And next, Namiko-san!

The scene of an accident!

Correct!

Wow!

Welcome back.

How was it?

Well, um... basically what I expected.

I felt a little heavy when it was done.

Hey, hey!

What all did they do to you?

Well...

First, they checked my blood pressure and white count...

They they made me lie down and sucked the blood out of me.

I guess?

The needle felt pretty nasty...

They gave us drinks, at least.

Did anyone cry?

We're not little kids...

Well... No one cried from donating, but...

What happened to Usami-sensei?

She didn't weigh enough to donate blood.

I couldn't help you guys with the mascot, huh, since it was during the blood donation.

No, no, that's fine with me.

It looks like we haven't hit the deadline yet, though!

It's gone already...

It was parked here when we saw it this morning.

It's still warm.

It hasn't gone far yet.

M O N T H L A T E R

Oh, by the way, about that contest for the mascot...

One of your students got an award.

Huh? We had a contest for a mascot?

Hey... she doesn't even know about it?

Go tell her immediately.

See?

Ayanoi Academy Grade 3 Awara Chikako

Ayanoi Academy Grade 3, Awara Chikako.

Hmm?

Oh, there she is.

Hmm?

Hey, about that blood drive mascot thing... Looks like you won an award.

Huh? Did I submit something to a contest?

Ah, it must have been that one.

Yeah, you kept scribbling something while going on while you wanted to hand out tissues in a costume.

Maybe I drew something...

You don't even remember that?

Like teacher, like student...

Excuse me.

Umm, where is Morita-sensei?

Hmm...

He isn't here at the moment.

Morita-sensei's desk

I see.

Can you tell him that Tomokane is going home early?

The school nurse gave me permission.

Yeah, no problem.

Excuse me.

Hmm...

So he's named Tomokane too...

He's totally different from mine, though.

Nice and polite.

Compared to him...

Maybe you could get the perfect student if you added them together and divided by two.

Oh, Morita-sensei.

Yes?

A student from your school named Tomokane went home early.

Oh, I see.

Sasamoto-sensei,

is this the right one?

Oh, thanks!

You should have bought the whole carton.

Please don't smoke so much.

You've been doing it way too much lately...

Haha, Tono-sensei got scolded.

Shut up.

You too, Sotoma-sensei. Drinking too much coffee is bad for your stomach.

Oh?

Oh yeah...

All right...

Water...

By the way, Usami-sensei, what are those?

Supplements!

What, are you supposed to take the same amount of tablets as your age?

Morita-sensei

Oh, Morita-sensei.

Morita-sensei

Morita-sensei

Yes?

Oh why are Mondays so depressing?

Another week of school, eh?

Come on, cheer up. Every time you sigh, a bit of happiness flies away.

You're young, you know?

You sound like some old woman across the street.

I caught some of your happiness just now.

No, you smashed it like a mosquito!

Is that what's bothering you?

Well, to summarize... Namiko-san, you're down in the dumps because you keep thinking about how repetitive your routine is.

Oh, you were listening to us?

The solution is to simply spice things up a bit.

Have some variety in your life.

I have a bad feeling about this.

If the princess speaks...

As a start, why don't you try doing something you don't usually do?

Try entering the classroom in a different way.

Are we going back together?

Something I wouldn't usually do, huh?

The theme is "the border between life and death."

We had a theme!?

Yo!

Good morning.

Good morning!

Huh? It's just you, Noda?

Whoa!? What was that?

Damn, they hit me.

I won't make it.

The enemies have annihilated an entire platoon!

What the hell!?

Please, tell my girl back home... that I love her...

Save your strength, corporal John!

John?

Medic! Medic!

We need a medic!

I see you guys are as lively as ever.

Yeah, I bet Mondays don't even bother them.

Hot!

What?

I added too much hot water.

I might have burnt myself a bit.

Well, cool it off with some cold water, then.

Let me see it.

Let me see...

Oh, it's hot!

Wow, it's hot!

I refuse to participate in this.

Oh! So cold!

Should we go to the nurse's office?

Ah, man.

What do we do with this? We have to collect it all.

I'll take care of it.

Oh wow, amazing.

Are you using a magnet?

Oh, Kyouju, let me help too!

Wait, was that magnet...

Is your hand all right now?

Yes. They put some medicine on it.

So then, today's lunch is Tsukimi Udon.

Same here.

What's the matter, Noda-chan?

Are you feeling unwell?

Calm down, Kisaragi.

No, not really, but...

Princess!

Aoijiru

Princess, I've retrieved the elixir from the third floor of the east building!

Aoijiru

Thank you... Count Vermont...

But, I'm already...

Princess!

Stop fooling around.

Count Vermont, you've gotta feed her mouth-to-mouth.

...But spit on her at the last second.

I'm fine! I feel absolutely fabulous!

She's back to normal.

Oh, is that Takikomi Gohan?

Nope. It only has bamboo sprouts, so it's bamboo sprout rice.

Takikomi Gohan is the stuff with lots of ingredients, right?

Well, it doesn't have to have a lot of stuff in it.

You call it Takikomi because you cook it together with the rice.

Then you call Sekihan and stuff like that Takikomi?

Chestnut rice too?

T-They are.....

The Takikomi-Gohan class!

Class?

Attention, everyone.

These muffins are for dessert.

They're Chocolate Banana flavor.

What? You made this?

Yes! Would you like to try it?

W-When did you pick up something this girly?

You're just Noda, after all!

Well, I can make something easy like this every once in a while.

You damn Mafia!

Mafia?

Anyone who eats a muffin is in the mafia!

Really?

I envy people who can make stuff like this easily.

Namiko-san, are you the kind of person who can't cook?

Well... it's not that I can't, but...

My cooking ends up pretty artistic, shall we say.

See, we're in the GA, so...

Oh, I know what you mean.

Yeah, that's spot-on.

For example?

Culinary cubism...

or surrealism...

We do have cooking classes, right?

I'm really concerned!

Oh, Kisaragi, you don't like eggs?

You always order Tsukimi Udon, though...

Oh, I just always leave the egg until the end.

I don't want it to mix with the soup.

Then why don't you just order plain udon?

It's cheaper.

No, this is what I like the most about it.

Kisaragi, you're like a snake.

Yes...

A bolt?

It's probably from me.

Oh, so it was yours.

Were you working on a project or something?

Nah. I thought I had gotten rid of all of them, but a few were still stuck on my head.

Huh?

Kyouju-san?

G.A.! So Cool!

Like this.

Whoa, amazing.

These are the wood panels for this class.

Yeah, looks like it.

They were just sitting around in the trash, right?

Should we crush them?

Should I smash 'em!?

But, man, the boxes are so big... don't you just wanna climb in?

Hmm...

Do you?

When I was a kid, I loved to crawl around inside of cardboard boxes.

Man, Kisaragi, you really are a rat.

Hmm?

Oops.

Hey!

Lots of rats here, it would appear.

Finally complete!

GA's original pencils!

What are these?

Did you make these?

Oh wow, let me see them.

I printed them out and pasted them on pencils.

They're so nice that you're not allowed to use them!

Hey, let me see that for a second.

Mine is a bit thicker than the others...

Oh, that's because I accidentally printed yours with thick paper.

It was so hard to wrap it around the pencil!

You didn't do it on purpose, did you?

By the way, apparently there are people who dream in color and people who dream in black and white.

I think this is a measure of how important color is to someone.

Oh wow!

For example, for people who care about how they dress every day tend to have color dreams.

Mine are in color.

Mine are in black and white.

Hmm, I wonder which mine are...

What about you, Kyouju?

Hmm?

Well, last night, I had a dream in sepia tone with subtitles.

Fight Marsian Robot!!

How stylish!

How fitting!

What, you call that stylish?

Fight Marsian Robot!!

Fight Marsian Robot!!

We have sketching class next.

Okay, we just need pencils, then.

No, we have charcoal sketching today.

Huh?

Umm, Tomokane-san, where is your charcoal?

N-no! Tuesdays are crayon days for me!

Right?

Now, now, don't be stubborn.

I'll lend you one if you forgot yours.

You know, I always have this same thought when we begin sketch class...

Same for me.

Suneko, right?

Oh!

Tomokane got it wrong earlier, right?

She sounded so boastful.

That's right!

Hey, you still remember that?

Yeah, maybe.

Kisaragi-chan has been into scribbling ever since then.

Well, only during free time in sketch class.

She'll probably hit 1000 cats on her sketchbook pretty soon.

I wish I could teleport, even if it were just when I had art homework...

Taking art supplies home is a huge pain.

And I have to bring them all back to school, too.

Phew...

Namiko-san, what should we do with this bit of happiness?

How about you wrap it up with tissue paper and bring it home?

Oh, this marker is available in a new color.

Maybe I should buy it.

Oh, I should get a new sketchbook.

Oh, they're on sale.

Where?

This 50cm ruler...

Well, my bus is here. See ya.

Guess I'll be heading home myself.

How about you?

Hmm, this masking sheet, too...

But I don't know if I will actually use it...

But if I have it, then at least I'll have the opportunity to use it...

And it's 50% off...

But...

My dear princess seems to be taking her sweet time, so...

Good luck, Count Vermont.

Darn, did the bus leave already?

Seems so.

Do you two mind coming with me, now that we have the chance?

Sure.

Where to?

A Soba place.

They're pretty well-regarded around here.

That's unusual to hear from Masa, isn't it?

Tsukimi was bothering me.

Oh, I wanna try it too!

Once upon a time, there was a very beautiful world.

Are you going to tell a story?

Are you?

Huh? Where did Kisaragi go?

It looks like she was abducted by a third year student from GA.

We'll be heading to the art supplies shop too.

A Happy End

Oh, she came back.
