This is so sudden but-

GA - Geijutsuka Art Design Class

Beginning!

You're in quite a rush.

We don't have much time.

Hey, look at this!

This is my first time seeing the Haniwa weather vane spinning around in the wind.

If you make a wish when that Haniwa weather vane is spinning, they say it will come true.

I heard that rumor was going on two years ago.

That's quite a typical legend.

Oh, what's the matter?

What happened, Kisaragi-chan?

Please let a huge natural disaster happen during the next class.

What?!

Someone's making a violent wish!

You seem depressed, Kisaragi.

She was like that when she saw Un Chien Andalou during art class the other day.

Well, I can probably guess the reason ...

Continue off with the design drawing you have been doing last week.

The first years this year are doing poorly at handing in work.

Are you being serious?

You must get it done by today, or by the end of this week.

If you don't pass, I won't even give you a single mark.

An earthquake!

There's an earthquake now, right?!

Calm down, Kisaragi!

It's just you trembling.

I want to draw the blue sky

Lecturer Koshino Yoshino.

She's in charge of textile fashion.

Despite her small figure, she's feared among all GA students.

The strangely low chair placed so that she can look students in the eye,

has been given the name "Execution Chair" by students.

What is this?

You've been working since last month and it's still this plain?

Do you buy fashion magazines?

If you have no talent, then study a lot more!

She's begun public executions!

Yamaguchi-san has been shot through...

This design...

Are you an otaku?

Tomokane has been cut and dumped.

I wonder what her design was like.

Kisaragi's not too good with this class, eh?

I like it.

Since we get to read the magazines and manga we want freely during this class.

That's true. We can read, talk, or even listen to music during this class.

It looks like recess, but-

The deadline and the assessment of the assignments are strict.

Noda-chan~

That may be because she allows freedom in creation.

Thanks!

Did you find John Galliano?

Yes, you're a great help.

Possibly.

Thank you so much!

My heart is becoming calm again.

What's this song called?

Erik Satie's First Gymnopédies.

Have you finished handing yours in already, Kyoujyu-san?

Will you give us some tips?

Well,

you can take cooking for example.

First you read the recipe.

Obtain knowledge,

and if you add in some originality to it,

it's your menu.

Thus, it's your work.

Oh, let me see.

Galactic-Style Crinoline in Sauce (Salt Flavor)

Galactic-Style Crinoline in Sauce (Salt Flavor)?

Pompadour Stew with Seafood

Pompadour Stew with Seafood?

What Masa was saying is relevant but...

She uses her brain in an original way.

It's too advanced to learn from Kyoujyu-san.

All right, then let's see the representative of the typical, Namiko-san's!

You're really annoying!

Please.

All right.

I have it completely the other way around from Masa.

First I choose something random as a symbol.

Then I change it into fashion.

It's like clothification rather than personification.

Fashion, you say...

It doesn't seem right...

You've finished too, right, Noda-chan?

How did you draw?

Well, let me see...

I would imagine clothes that I want someone to wear.

Like how it would be cute in some color,

or like I'd like this kind of image to it...

like adding this kind of accessories, and arrange them in this way...

I would imagine many plans for designs.

I only have to wait until it befalls upon me.

Wait until it befalls...

Gabriel... Konishi...

No, you're not supposed to wait for designer's spirits to possess you!

And you even said names of those still alive!

You have antennas facing different directions compared to Noda or Masa.

You won't learn much from them.

Antennas?

Yes, antennas.

More like receptors.

For example, read this magazine together.

This flowing design is great.

That's true.

But it will be a pain to launder.

This brand is making a lot of Khaki this season.

Maybe they're trying to make it popular.

Why don't models trip with such thin legs?

Are they eating properly?

See, your frequencies are getting more and more desynchronized.

And...

So I'm really a failure!

This fashion stuff, I don't get what's good even if I read it...

Then you can start learning now!

Let's go to Lise-Rossa to buy clothes!

They have a lot of good stuff!

Oh no...

Those cute stuff don't suit me.

And I easily drift to what the shop assistant says.

Yeah, Kisaragi will be swept away easily.

I often get pulled into Noda's shopping but...

The tsunamis that occur when seasons change are the scariest.

Surely you will be drifting away...

Since that is the only shop in this prefecture...

Huh?

Done!

You're done already?

Hey Noda, thanks for the magazine.

This one's out.

This is the fifth person now.

This is a complete copy of a costume in a Sci-Fi movie that was popular years ago.

A famous comic artist worked as a designer for this and gained public interest...

So many young people get affected when something gains public interest.

I'll be making these apparent copies public.

The Cheaters Today

Goddammit!

It only has to be something different, right?!

Any options?

A new design that doesn't look like anyone's!

If you can hand that in, then it won't be trouble for anyone.

Yes.

You won't come up with something close to anyone if you make clothes inside out.

Ok I'm going with that!

Decided!

What?

What the hell is that?!

Skirt, Jacket, Shirt

How's this?

This new style!

I name it Turn Over Uniform!

This won't coincide with anyone's!

Actually, not many people will actually try it even if they imagine it.

Accepted

It passed and accepted better than I imagined.

What?!

I guess in this industry, the first one to try wins...

All right, class is finished.

It ended!

Now, now, Kisaragi, it'll be all right.

I fail.

You have the whole week to work on it.

No, I have no faith in myself anymore.

I must have no talent in design unlike all of you.

If trying hard does anything, I will try as hard.

But I believe this of all things isn't one of them.

Kisaragi-chan, do you hate clothes?

I love watching and imagining clothes since it's exciting.

If those who hate or have no interest in clothes can become world class designers,

that must be real talent.

But I believe they normally started by being in too much love with it and then getting excited about it.

Don't any clothes shake your heart?

I believe there is no girl who has no thoughts when they see clothes.

Uhm...

It's not fashion or anything, but...

I like Kimono and other traditional clothes.

I used to collect scrap fabric.

Made in Italy

I even think it's old fashioned myself.

Why do you think so? It's not like that at all.

Styles like Bingata are cute, don't you think?

- Days later -

Hmm...

Well, I should say it's your typical style,

I guess this will do.

Really?

Don't stand, sit down.

You did a good job.

It passed!

It passed!

Congratulations, Kisaragi-chan!

Thanks to Noda-chan. I now seem to feel that designing clothes is fun!

Yes, good for you!

Then as the second step, get ready to meet up at the station next Saturday.

Eh?

They will have a clearance sale at the Lise-Rossa.

Huh?

Oh, the Haniwa weather vane is rotating very fast.

That's a bit...

Maybe we should pray to it.

For Kisaragi's good.

It's impossible!

It will surely suit you.

My heart isn't prepared for it!

Let disaster strike during the next class.

Apparent copies will be publicized.

Phew, the weather is fine.

What's the matter?

The sky today is the type of sky you'd feel like drawing.

One you feel like drawing?

Yes.

It brought back memories of junior high school before I entered this high school.

Huh?

I was shown a wonderful picture of the sky.

That was probably...

My...

Oh, do you like it?

I'll give it to you, then.

Really?

Yes, of course.

It's a beautiful picture.

How do you draw these?

Oil painting?

That would be difficult with paper.

The next day, I bought a sketchbook and watercolor for my very first time.

But no matter how much I tried, I wasn't able to draw the sky the way I wanted to.

I understand.

Someday I want to draw a picture of the sky as if it was cropped out.

But now you have to cut out this stuff or you won't be heading home.

Yay!

Hey Noda, you're in my way!

Tomokane, quit resting too!

Yeah, yeah.

In such a sunny afternoon, why do we have to remove yarn balls from the curtain?

Kisaragi-chan, I had my moment when I felt like drawing too.

Hey!

I wanted to draw light.

Noda, you're in the way.

The light, you say?

Yup.

Like reflections on the water, and the glitter of glass and gems.

Oh.

That kind of light, me too, me too!

I wanted to do something like this.

You made another photoshop during PC class...

Teacher's office

Usami-sensei, it's done.

Oh, thank you.

Good job.

Sorry to tell you after you brought it here, but can you take it to the art room?

That's fine.

Huh?

Don't I need to bring these?

Oh, those are...

Huh?

These curtains look like they are see through...

It's a bit transparent...

Well, those balls make you feel like you have to really remove every single one of them...

Oh, Oomichi, about the Lettering certification.

Yes?

You did well in the mock exams in class so shouldn't you apply for a higher level?

No, its fine. I want to be on the same level as others.

I see.

Also, is Noda here?

Yes, she is in class.

I'll head back first.

I'm back.

Oh. Welcome back.

What, they increased?

She told me to take them, so...

Where to?

I'll take some.

It's to the old supplies room in the second art room.

Oh, but the teacher said they might be doing club activities in there now.

Club activities?

What club?

Uhm... I heard it's the art club.

Ah, but I hear they merged with the school environment club.

But that school environment club was made from the joint of the school media club and the environment research club, so...

And that school media club used to be...

So in short, the club is just a mix of random clubs?

Hey, the club pres always carries this right?

What is this?

It's a rocket launcher.

You serious?

Art department students are quite violent, eh.

Excuse me.

Huh?

Oh, uhm, can we put these here?

Oh, sure.

So then, excuse us.

Hey, can we ask you to call the teacher up?

I don't really know the layout of this building.

I see...

Which teacher?

Uhm... our lord...

The lord was...

What was her real name?

Professor Eyeglasses?

Professor Lab coat?

Wait... was that even a lab coat?

The teacher who was asked by her former lover, who do you love more, nicotine or me?

Well, we kind of understand...

We will be going.

Well, it's probably Sasamoto-sensei.

I will go look in the teacher's office.

Then I will go and check the third year's classes.

Huh?

Oh, you're sketching today?

Yo, you're late.

Do I look cool?

Actually, were you doing sculptures?

Oh Kisaragi, what's the matter?

I'm going to the third year GA class.

What, seriously?

I'll go with you!

Thank you...

What the heck?

You're not even armed!

Have at least a T-square in your back.

You're lacking preparation!

What do you think I'm going there for?

I wasn't challenged by them.

Oh, good you're here.

Sasamoto-sensei,

Hey, they're first years!

In the Art Room, the club members were calling you.

You're right.

They're first years indeed.

Right, I'll go now.

Their uniforms are still new.

Oh, you know Mizubuchi, right?

Ah, yes...

Then could you pass this to her?

She should be sketching somewhere but I forgot to give it back to her.

By somewhere, where would that be?

It would probably be somewhere with a good scenery in this school.

What's your favorite class?

Good luck.

Who's your favorite teacher?

I'm going to have to check the whole place?!

Huh?

Kisaragi-chan, you're going somewhere again?

Yes...

It seems I keep getting more and more tasks today.

I'm looking for someone.

Oh, I'll help you then.

That's great-

Before you do that, I will have to talk to you about the lettering here which had no eraser marks and not even the slightest error.

Geez, people keep cheating with computers.

A good sketch place in school...

Would it be the schoolyard?

Is no one here?

Uhm...

Excuse me...

Oh no...

She's not in the school ground either...

Huh?

There was a prefab building here?

Oh, it must be the athletic club's clubhouse.

I didn't know they were here.

I can figure out what kind of club they are from the stuff they have in their entrances.

Air pump is for soccer club.

The court brush is for the tennis club.

A collapsed person is...

What?!

Whose voice was that?

What were you doing?

What?

It's club activities.

The club activity for our art club today is sketching after all.

The art club?

Yes.

By the way, this is the temporary club house for the art club.

Leonardo Da Vin's house.

Da Vin Chi-

But you're sketching in a cardboard-club house?

I thought it might seem good if you saw things in a frame.

I see.

Wanna look?

Yes.

Excuse me.

Here, look.

Wow.

When you look at it like this, doesn't it look like it's a picture of a cropped out sky?

My my, I see another pair of legs in there.

What kind of fun things are you doing in there?

Oh, found you!

Sasamoto-sensei asked me to give this to you.

Oh, it's my sketchbook.

But I thought I misplaced it the other day.

Sorry, Buchi-san, I borrowed it to hand in my work.

I happened to be out of sketchbook pages.

Oh my.

I wonder why I can feel a rain cloud developing in my heart?

Please wait! Wait!

I'm sorry!

Even though the weather's so good.

Geez, you've always been like this ever since first year.

But I didn't realize I filled up all the pages.

You should also at least feel a bit sorry.

That's why I tell you to carry two.

Uhm...

This picture...

Ah, it's the one I was drawing just now.

My, do you like it, Kisa-chan?

You can take it, then.

Hey wait, Buchi-san?

That's mine!

Aa-san, it's for a cute junior.

It's a beautiful color as always.

2nd art room

I can't move...

Kisaragi hasn't returned yet?

I'll take a nap.

She should come sooner or later.

See, she's back.

I was waiting forever!

Let's go home now.

Noda-dono.

Huh?

It looks like you have something.

You got even more errands?

Oh, this is different.

Uhm... can I have you all come with me a for a while before going home?

Off to the shop at the university buidling.

Sure.

Yeah.

Fine.

So what are you buying?

I feel like buying a new sketchbook.
