Hai!

I sensed you on a secret frequency

and was captivated by your radiance

And seeing you with my million-bit vision

The circuits of my heart

Ah, they're going wild!

The forces of love move me as they will

So I've embraced the mystery

If it's for the sake of the one you love

Why, there's nothing you couldn't do!

Oh, the heartful, heartful mechanic

the slightest movements of a pure heart

The heartful, heartful mechanic

makes true your dream-colored heartbeats

Step Jun, Step Jun, Step Jun!

Your hot desire! Come on, come on, input!

A Classroom Just for Us

Aw, man!

Got lousy marks again, huh.

I take it every single one of you has their report card?

- Yes... - All right!

While I'd love to send you all on your eagerly-awaited summer break,

don't get your spirits too high yet.

Let me ask, is there anyone out there who scored a grade of 2?

We have some very special plans lined up for those lucky students.

Japanese

What do I do?!

Oho! It appears a few of you did score a grade of 2.

Well then, you have a week of wonders in store!

Yes, one full week of remedial classes await you.

That brings our day to an end.

Ah! One more thing.

If you require remedial classes, please confer with the proper sensei.

Okay, that will be all.

Stand!

Bow!

Bye bye...

See you later!

Such unforgivable nonsense!

A daughter of Japan faltering in its language,

why, it's as patently absurd as an Englishman not knowing English!

Um, well...

I'm really no good with anything but numbers or the Roman alphabet.

Spare me your excuses!

You're the only girl in the class who requires remedial lessons.

Only me?!

That's right!

To put it bluntly,

Juumonji Sensei will be teaching in a boiling classroom for the sake of only two students.

Wait, you said two students, so who...

- Kanou, duh. - Kanou, of course.

Really?! Zero will be here, too?

This is fantastic!

Wh-What was that?

Never mind! Just muttering to myself.

I think I'll be putting in lots of effort after all!

All for Kanou, huh?

Yes! -- Uh...

Let's just keep that among ourselves, please.

Sheesh, looks like your summer's going to be especially hot, Nonomiya.

Oh...?

Ah!

Kichinosuke!

Yukinojo!

Ah hey, it's Jun.

Pico!

- Hello, both of you! - Happy to see you, pico!

Jun, looks like you heard some really great news.

You can tell? Oh, of course you can!

I can for sure! Summer break starts tomorrow.

Now you can finally relax!

Actually, not being able to relax is why I'm so happy.

What, you like school that much?

Oh, I love it!

That's because starting tomorrow, it'll just be me and Zero in the classroom!

Yeesh. Go roast if it'll make you happy.

But why?

Oh, you two don't need to worry about it one bit.

Shall we be off?

Summer means time for cool refreshing juice!

Let's see, should it be strawberry?

Or maybe melon instead...

Lemme think...

Oh! What the heck's this one?

Unbelievable!

Dear, just look at this report card!

Lemme have a peek...

A 2 in Japanese!

Looks like it, huh.

Oh, Mom!

Try to think positive! It could always go up to 3, 4, or even 5!

Could also drop down to 1.

Kichinosuke!

You came home with such a big smile on your face, I was expecting astounding grades!

You straighten up, missy!

Oh? What do you mean?

So, more importantly,

what sort of dish would be best for tomorrow's lunch?

- What?! Your lunch? - What?! Your lunch?

Here, a cold drink to refresh your spirits.

Drink up.

Wow, you guys really are mad!!!

I'm sorry, I'll work harder!!!

Kichinosuke! Gonna need some water!

Oh? I guess this juice is kinda spicy, huh.

- Dear, fire's shootin' out of your mouth. - Same as yours, dear.

Kichinosuke.

Jun hasn't got up yet, huh.

Jeepers, sir! Jun's gone to school!

Oh yeah, I see.

Sharing a classroom with Zero -- Pinch me, I'm dreaming!

Oh, just how wonderful this will be...

My goodness, Nonomiya!

Yes!

Just what time do you think it is, young lady?

Excuse me, I don't think it's time for class to start just yet!

You blithering fool!

How dare a student presume to arrive after their instructor!

S-Sorry!

What on earth -- !

Ooh, strained my voice.

I'm very sorry.

And what would that parcel happen to be?

It's lunch!

I see...

However, its size suggests there's enough food inside for two.

Yes.

Oh?

Admirable indeed!

Bringing a portion for your professor is a sign of deep respect.

Full marks.

Oh?

Sensei!!! You've got it all wrong!

I'm quite certain I don't!

Only morning classes were scheduled, and yet you still brought lunch.

Let us continue our diligent studies until the sun sets.

Now time for attendance.

Jun Nonomiya!

Here.

Wonderful. Now let us turn to Page 25 in the textbook.

So, then you add a little bit.

And then after that, add a little bit more.

Heck, maybe add some more while you're at it.

- Put even more in! - Now there's a good idea.

Yo!

Jun's at school.

Had to pick up stuff she left behind or somethin'?

Nope. Got classes.

Heck, why not some more.

Huh? Whattya just say?

She's at class, idiot!

O-Oh...

Remedial classes, eh.

Add some more.

Yeesh, even when it's so stinkin' hot out.

Starin' at that mustache of his ain't gonna help.

Oh, delightfully delicious! Certainly a feast for the taste buds.

Full marks.

O-Okay...

I didn't make this for him, though.

Now that we've packed our bodies with nutrition, let's begin our afternoon study.

Wh-What on earth? Why are there canned goods here now?

Canned goods?!

Sensei, this is a robot that I built.

Ah! So this is an artificial human, then.

Geez, talk about a stuffed shirt!

Very well, then.

You did come all this way, so you might as well study alongside your master.

I hate studying.

Unparalleled idiocy!

You might be an artificial human, but proper studies are still paramount.

Excuse me, are you paying attention?

'Kay.

Perhaps you would care to attempt reading this?

Uh....

I'll make you a trade, I'll read it if you drink this.

It's a promise, then.

And just what would this drink happen to be?

Okay!!! I fulfilled my part of the bargain...

Got it.

To...

Do...

Something something...

And then...

...Is.

Yes, well done.

Full marks for being an exemplary Japanese artificial human.

"Made in Japan"!

Marks removed.

You certainly have some nerve to speak English in the middle of Japanese lessons.

Eep! Sorry.

Expect to be put through your paces thoroughly for the rest of the day!

I hope you're prepared!

Wuzzat you say? I was skippin'?

And if I don't go tomorrow I'm through?

Yes...

Class starts at 7, and I was expected to bring you, no matter what!

What's he take me for, a rooster?

Ain't no way I'm gettin' up that early.

But Juumonji Sensei said...

I don't care, we're on summer break!

The hell I gotta go to school for?

Well, it's not like I'm thrilled about it either.

Howzabout we cut a deal... Gimme 20 hamburg steaks.

For what?

For puttin' the kibosh on these remedial classes for good.

You can actually do that?

Heck yeah! I know just how to bargain with good ol' Juumonji Sensei.

I'm not sure, would a stubborn sensei like that listen to you?

Aw heck, just leave 'im to me!

Heh, I know how to deal with his type.

So, we got a deal?

Well, if it will get me out of those remedial classes...

Awright, it's settled! Get ready for good news tomorrow.

This is so cool...

Heh, it's yours if ya want it!

Really?!

Oh yeah! Bet it'll suit ya to a T.

All for me, all for me...

If I remember right, he's shacked up in this building here.

And there he is.

Even got a mosquito net set up... This guy sure loves his old-timey stuff.

Don't mind me...

Sheesh, even his cat's ancient too!

Here we go...

We're late, we're late!

Good morning --

Oh?

What'd I tell ya? Didn't show up.

But why not?

Heh, no way he'd wanna show his face.

Getta load of this.

Wait, is that actually his --

What did you do?

Trimmed off half that mustache he's so proud of.

Ain't no way he's gonna show up here in that sorry state.

Really? But he called this morning to confirm there'd be classes!

Probably just to get us here and set us up for quiet study time.

Is that Juumonji Sensei?

C-Can't be...

Look at you getting all flustered, Zero.

Ah! Sensei!!!

Is something the matter?

Would there happen to be anything stuck to my face?

N-Nope! Sure ain't...

How very strange! I detect foul play afoot.

Oh really, these accusations coming from a melon-head?

...What's with the mustache.

Wh-What do you think you're doing?

Aw, the heck with this, I'm outta here!

Kichinosuke!

Please, let him leave.

I'm afraid no amount of studying could ever benefit a melon-head.

All right, shall we commence our class?

Still, there somethin' the matter? I mean, you showed up late.

Oh goodness, I'm terribly sorry...

It appears my domicile was the target of a craven thief.

Huh? A thief?

Yes indeed.

- Wait, that means... - Oh?

That means somethin' got stolen last night?

Indeed! A hanging scroll worth 1,000,000 yen was purloined.

A million yen?!

But worry not...

There was no shortage of footprints left in my yard.

I do believe it's only a matter of time until my bumbling burglar is caught.

My dear Kanou!

Despite being in 3rd year of middle school, you're actually 16, correct?

Yeah.

Just got back from spendin' two years studyin' in England.

That notwithstanding, how can you not read such simple characters?

'Cause if I could, I wouldn't be in remedial classes!

Contemptuous fool!

Huh?

Is there a problem?

Oh, what's this --?

Marks removed.

Yeah, figured it was way too strange.

Gave himself a fake mustache.

Another crime committed by last night's robber.

I'm telling you now, once I find the culprit I'm shaving them completely bald.

Completely bald?

Ah!!!

There a problem?

N-No, nothing at all...

Achoo...

Sensei, are you all right?

Alas, my health has declined.

I believe that will be all for today's lessons --

Achoo!

- Okay!!! - Okay!!!

Looks like trimmin' that 'stache paid off big time!

Got class wrapped up in 30 minutes.

Okay, that's well and good,

but who would've stolen that hanging scroll?

It's only a matter of time until you're the prime suspect!

Whatever. It only got stolen 'cause he leaves his place wide open.

But still, maybe we should just tell the truth while we still can?

You want me to end up bald?

Agh!!!

Huh? Somethin' on my face?

Ah --

What's your problem?

N-Nothing at all.

What a weirdo.

Ah, look at that cloud!

- It looks just like Kichinosuke! - Yeah, sure does.

That's it!

If you didn't have hair already, there'd be nothing to shave off, right?

I mean, that's true, but...

I have a wonderful idea!

Huh -- ?

No way! I don't wanna take the fall for this.

Please, I'm begging you!

You'd be saving me and Zero.

Heck no! That sensei's gonna shave me bald!

Big brudder, that's horrible, pico!

Look, I know you can figure this out! Try thinking about it a bit harder.

What would it mean for you to have a shaved head?

Oh?

If I ended up getting shaved bald...

Welcome!

Yes yes, please sit still.

There, all finished!

Ooh, now that's refreshing!

Oh...? Nothing's changed.

You figured it out!

Heck yeah I did!

All settled! I'll take the fall.

'Cause I get to keep my manly looks.

Thank you so much, Kichinosuke!

Big brudder, you're so cool, pico!

Your hero strong and true! Kichinosuke!

Oh.

So you brought the melon-head here to admit to trimming my mustache?

Yes. But he had nothing to do with the hanging scroll!

I see! But I do have one question.

Do you remember what pajamas I was wearing last night?

Huh...?

Uh, it was striped with polka dots.

You lie, my good sir.

I don't own any pajamas. I sleep clad only in my yukata.

Oh yeah, that's right!

Quite strange, if you ask me...

S-So, there's a reason for this...

Ah right! When he logs off for the night, he forgets all about the previous day!

Y-Yep, that's true!

So in other words, he's a complete buffoon?

Agh!!! A cat!

Well now...

It appears that our fair melon-head is not a fan of cats.

This is my beloved pet cat Dora-chan.

Dora-chan here is always by my side.

Naturally, she was there last night as well.

Someone reduced to such a shivering wreck could never hope to trim my mustache.

N-Nope! Sure couldn't!

Kichinosuke!!!

If I'm not mistaken, you're here to cover for Rei Kanou.

Please, have a look at this.

N-No, you fool, I mean at this!

Ah, that's -- !!!

That's what Zero trimmed off.

Ah!

Alas, Rei Kanou has come to admit his culpability already.

So... Zero confessed?

Why yes! He's in the middle of pondering his crimes.

Ah. Hey.

Hey, why did you turn yourself in?

Heh!

Ain't much of a man if I let a girl and her goofy robot take the fall for me.

Sensei...

Oh?

Sensei, you have to believe me!

Zero absolutely did not steal your hanging scroll!

Oh goodness, that was never really a thing.

WHAT?

Ended up takin' us all for a ride.

Figured he'd scare the culprit into turnin' themselves in.

So wait, you knew?

Aging does grant me the benefit of wisdom.

While my original plan was indeed to shave the culprit spear bald,

in consideration of his honesty, a week of cleaning my domicile shall suffice instead.

And there ya have it.

I'm gonna shave you bald!

Get ready.

Kichinosuke!

Enough, Kichinosuke!

J-Just whose side you on, anyway?!

Jun and Zero's!

Then why are you cutting off his hair?

Not him! This sensei instead.

What did you say?!

But I'm the victim here!

Heck no!

You call yourself a sensei? You lied twice!

Wh-What do you mean, lied?

The pajamas and the hanging scroll.

L-Look, about that...

Don't bother justifying yourself!

Somebody help!!!

No forgiveness!!!

- Help me! - Kichinosuke!

Get back here!

Witness the skills of a fifth-rank kendo master!

Bring it on.

Kichinosuke! Cut this out at once!

Oh no! The batteries are dead!

Here I come!

Prepare yourself!

It's done.

You dared challenge your better.

Kichinosuke!

Are you all right, Kichinosuke?!

I get full marks.

What did you say?!

Making you bald is overkill!

So I decided to just trim off one eyebrow.

Oh jeepers, Sensei!

Just what do you find so amusing?

Remedial class begins at 6AM tomorrow!

My goodness...

Marks off all around.

We're at the amusement park

On a date, eating ice cream

My crocodile tears are shining

in the illumination of the shuttle loop

But because of his warm kindness

I flash my practiced smile

But it's all a dream, isn't it?

Brought to you by MaruChanSubs!

There's a group of crooks running wild at the amusement park!

And some detectives think that Kichinosuke is their man!

How ridiculous can someone get?

I mean, Kichinosuke and I were together at the time of the incident!

Kichinosuke burns with the rage of justice,

and he sets out to catch the crooks himself!

Hai! Step Jun!

The Mighty Kichinosuke!
