Wajima and Kishi were suspended.

You know something about it, don't you?

It'll be unfortunate if they'll be kicked out, huh....

I've been in Asuko for 2 months now...

I thought I can never get used to the discomforting feeling...

like sliding under a car...

and having oil drip on my face...

Now I'm okay with it.

Can we have your body measurements?

Excuse me?

You see...

we want to make an android that looks like you.

No, I don't think so....

I also have grown accustomed to the strange requests from the boys.

But there's one thing I absolutely can't get used to...

We're back now.

Takeuchi-kun,

we've come back.

It's the fights

between the rough guys.

C'mon...

aren't you gonna welcome them back?

Ouch...

You got us suspended so

now our studies got affected.

Yeah because you got them suspended, they're now delayed in their studies.

You wanna get beaten up again?

Go ahead.

You guys got suspended once, next time will be expulsion.

Fine, I'll get expelled then.

Wait.

Isn't your dad gonna pass on to you his auto-coating shop?

You gonna easily give up that dream

just because of some a**hole?

[*or 'Alpha Ape' - slang for the leader of a group of thugs]

Keep out of this, Boss Monkey-kun*

[*or 'Alpha Ape' - slang for the leader of a group of thugs]

Who you callin' 'Boss Monkey?!'

-I'll kick your a**! -Stop it!

-Hey, stop it, guys! -Calm down! Ok? C'mon!

-Orah! -Take your seats, hey!

Oi, Yoshino! Get the hell outta there!

I'm trying! But I'm stuck here!

I wonder why Takeuchi-kun is in this school?

~ASUKO MARCH!~ Episode 4: "25 ikemen guys' revolt against 1 Girl... A tearful persuasion! A touching after-school incident"

'Yokohama Eirin High School.'

'For Transfer.'

Beautiful~.

Not bad... smells good, too.

Too beautiful. But it's not enough to make it a good high school.

Grandpa, what are you doing here?

As your guardian, I wanted to see how it is...

Since you're trying to escape Asuko and want to transfer to another school.

You're just here to look for something to complain about.

Ah!

What is it?

Wow!

They have regular ladies room.

Plus, I don't have to get a key.

You're already impressed by that?

How I wish~...

to have a normal high school life such as this.

They're just a bunch of show-offs.

How I wish~...

to experience youth like that...

So young...

how disgraceful!

[Speaking in English]

It's international, too.

Before English, master the Japanese language first.

Enough with that!

Stop making me dislike this school!

I'm not trying to do that! But Asuko has a good atmosphere...

...it's much better, isn't it?

What's good about it?

Eh?

The smell of oil...

I hate that!

Why?

Okay, class. Listen up.

I'd like you to know...

that in 2 months...

the Asuko Motor Show will be held.

Asuko Motor Show?

What's that?

It's a big event at Asuko

held at the closing of the 1st semester.

It's a school festival featuring

different models of cars.

So what will we do?

Each class...

will make their own model of a car and present it at the event.

Each 1st year level class...

will be assigned to make eco-cars.

-Too tiresome! -Too much work!

Ok ok... I'll be there to help you.

But we have to decide who can serve as the leader who'll oversee things...

Who wants to volunteer?

...I thought so.

So what should we do?

Oh...

Sensei, could you please

put your head down for awhile?

Your head?

Oh.

Alright, those who don't have a part-time job, raise your hands.

So...

it's Yoshino then.

Huh?

But Takeuchi-kun's also...

Nope,

it's gonna be Yoshino.

Yoshino, it is.

I think it should be Yoshino, too.

Aruto-kun...

You're transferring soon, right?

It'll be your final memory of this school... so let's make it good one.

Can I raise my head now?

Uh, yes yes.

I heard what you said so...

the leader will be Yoshino. Are you all ok with that?

I'm not.

So Takeuchi,

you'll assist her.

Eh?

Yoshino is the leader

and Takeuchi will be the sub-leader.

Eh~?

I'd rather be alone...

Uh...

seems like the whole class is not interested, huh?

Cuz you know, everyone basically has a part-time job!

I'd like it if we'd hurry up

'cuz I gota job too and I don't wanna be late.

What about Aruto-kun?

He was the first to leave after the class was done.

So much for saying 'making good memories...'

Are you unhappy that he's not here?

Not really.

Oh,

Oh, isn't Takeuchi-kun supposed to be here?

I don't care if he's not coming!

It's better if he doesn't come.

But in the past, I know he liked this sort of thing...

Eh?

I know because..

we were both from the same middle school.

Really?

Takeuchi's the son of a doctor...

he's rich and was something like a child prodigy..

He wasn't stuck-up back then, just a good-natured guy.

Then he changed during the spring of 3 years ago...

He only prioritized his studies...

and started to look down on the people around him, he has been like that since then.

I see.

Eventually, I'll be moving on anyway....

Oh, Takeuchi-kun.

No!

But I haven't said anything yet.

If it's about the making of the eco-car,

I don't have time to help.

Is it because of your college reviews?

That's still a long way off.

Are you kidding me?

Only 3% of Asuko grads get into college.

Yeah.. well.

And it's more on practical skills.

They don't focus much on regular subjects.

Such a low level.

So as early as now, I have to prepare for it if I ever want to get into a university.

And even if it's free here,

you have to deal with annoying scum like them.

Are ya scared? Oi!

Stop calling them scum!

Why can't you just get along with anyone?

Except for factory components, no human can ever get along with them.

Components...?

Takeuchi-kun, why did you enter Asuko?

If that's how you think, why did you come down here in the first place?

Aren't you also looking down on them, too?

You're desperate to escape this place.

That's...

Because of scum like that...

some person's life can be ruined!

Yeah-- Ouch!

Wait... what did you just...

Eh?

Hey... what did you do that for?

It wasn't me!

You just wait, you b****!

Wait!

Damn you, stop!

Why does this always happen to me...?

Huh?

Oh!

No way... no way...

This is the worst...

Yoshino?

THIS is the worst...

Are those your casual clothes perhaps?

Obviously not!

Aruto,

I bought you some.

Thanks.

This is even worse....

Who's she?

Hmm?

Oh,

she comes from the same school.

I'm Yoshino.

Good evening.

I'm Naganuma Kyoko.

Good evening, too.

Oh, sorry. I'm probably disturbing you two.

Oh, it's ok, you're not disturbing us.

Well, I'll see you tomorrow. Excuse me.

That girl...

She likes you, doesn't she?

We live in different worlds.

Yoshino...

Yoshino.

Yoshino.

Yoshino...

Yoshino.

Ah...

I can't concentrate anymore.

Yoshino. Yoshino. Yoshino...

All I think about is Aruto-kun...

Yoshino...

Cute, huh?

With matters like these,

I don't have anyone to talk with.

If I were in a regular school, I wonder what I'd be doing?

In a technical high school,

there's so many things I can't do....

You don't have anyone to consult with so you want it to be me?

Yes...

You absolutely like someone, don't you?

Eh?

But you can't understand this person's feelings...

and you can't tell whether he likes you or not?

That's the most usual problem, isn't it?

I knew you'd understand...

Eh?

So who is it?

Well, that's uh...

Well, anyway, for now, shorten your skirts 10 cms. more.

During practical training, you must pair up with him and stand close next to each other.

Then, when he asks you a question, you look up to him from underneath like this.

What are you talking about?

Huh? You wanted to consult me on how to make him fall for you, right?

No, not that sort of thing....

What is this about?

Guys, we need to have a design for our eco-car.

Draw it on paper and please submit it to me.

Eh? Do we have to?

I'll collect them after classes so please do it.

Oh, Takeuchi-kun... you're the sub-leader...

I'll be counting on you.

I already told you, ok?

Factory parts are the only things that can get along with them

and that I don't have the time.

We don't care what you say from now on.

We won't allow ourselves to be provoked anymore.

So you're the one who threw the volleyball at us!

It was him. I saw him do it.

Whatever it is that you'll do,

be ready to be reported to the school.

What?

If you're ready to get expelled...

Please go ahead.

Unfortunately for you,

we just got expelled this morning.

Huh?

Go ahead! Report about this! And this!

All that I got is stuff that looks drawn by elementary school kids.

This is all Tamaki-kun's fault. Wah~!

Oww~...

Why are you in the middle of the hallway...

Takeuchi-kun?!

He has several wounds

but he's alright.

I see...

Did you see what happened?

No, when I saw him, he was already wounded.

Where's Kazuya?

Takeuchi-kun's father...

I'm taking him right now.

But he's sleeping.

Let him rest for awhile.

I'm a doctor.

I don't think you can provide proper treatment in a place like this.

A place like this...?

Pardon me for saying but...

The students here are thick-headed and aren't good with words...

so they resort to using their fists rather too quickly.

Sensei,

will you give him permission to transfer out of here immediately?

Transfer?

No, that's...

This is just a stupid school and the teachers here are not so good.

If Kazuya stays here,

you'll just hold him back!

Sensei,

haven't you regretted what happened to Hideki?

Because of this school,

Hideki's life was ruined!

No,

I don't blame him for being angry... it is a sad thing.

He mentioned someone named 'Hideki?'

He's Takeuchi's brother.

He graduated from here.

When he was in Asuko, he was a good student.

He performed well in practical training and belonged in the top class.

He was part of the Motor Club for 2 years and sometimes would take part in national competitions.

He's amazing, huh?

He wanted...

to go into the field of designing car engines in the future.

However...

reality was quite too harsh.

Though the employment rate for Asuko grads is over 90 percent...

The car manufacturers that he wanted to work in

weren't recruiting anyone from the school.

So he decided...

to take the college entrance examinations.

It's just

that this school doesn't focus on preparing its students for college...

And of course during regular classes, he wasn't able to concentrate with all the fighting going on.

In the end, he failed all the tests...

So is that why Takeuchi-kun is studying a lot?

Because of what happened to his brother in Asuko...

he's in a rush to get out of here, isn't he?

No,

Takeuchi

himself wanted to be here.

Takeuchi-kun.

What are you drawing?

It's none of your concern.

Takeuchi-kun, why did you enter Asuko?

Why do you ask?

I learned from Omukai-sensei.

That you were a high achiever and

that you intentionally chose to be in Asuko.

That's just insinuation.

Insinuation?

You saw it, right?

My father despises this school.

He thinks that someone from a small-time school can't get into a top university.

I want to prove him that he's wrong.

Is that the only reason?

That's right.

Ah... I also heard about your brother.

He was in the Motor Club and that he likes cars--

Don't you dare talk about my brother!

Eh?

My brother is a real scum.

More than the guys in this school.

I'm back.

Why Asuko? If you want to get into a top university...

it's impossible...

if you're in such an environment.

No reason...

Just don't interfere with what I do.

It seems you do have a reason.

I got this from your desk.

Do not look...

into other people's rooms without permission.

You don't have time to be doing this!

Right now, there's no one left but you!

Enough!

Shut up!

What will you do?

Don't worry...

I won't become like Hideki.

Ok...

let's do this.

Hey,

is Takeuchi-kun not coming today?

Yeah... seems like it.

Guess there's no choice.

Guys, listen.

The design for the eco-car has been chosen.

Our class...

is going to make this.

Are those... windows?

Whoa... Not bad.

It looks exciting, huh...?

Who drew it?

Uh,

it was...

Don't tell me it was Takeuchi who did that?

Eh...?

Of course not...

Yeah but that would be too much for Yoshino, isn't it?

So who was it then?

Huh? Well..

Oh, it was Aruto-kun.

Aruto?

Yes...

that's right.

It seems that he's good with this stuff.

He drew that?

Everyone managed to fix their part-time schedule so they could come today.

But why...

Because they saw the design and felt motivated by it.

I see...

Ossha~!

Hey,

about this crankcase... how do you want me to weld it?

Huh?

Oh, uh... it's...

What plans do you have with this design?

Plans?

Well, it's like...

If you don't know then go ask the one who designed it, leader.

Oh.. 'kay.

Uh... what should I ask him?

How can I do this...?

You wanna know where Takeuchi's house is?

What?

Takeuchi designed it and not Aruto, right?

How did you know?

I've seen him draw during middle school.

He draws like that.

Sorry...

can you keep it a secret from the guys?

Ok.

You seem fine.

Why were you absent from school?

What do you want?

We came to ask your permission.

Permission?

for the use of your design

For our class' eco-car project...

You threw this away in the library.

You drew this, right, Takeuchi-kun?

This was your design so...

Are you perhaps...

from Asuko?

Oh...

good evening.

Oh,

you're from the other day.

Are you here to make him

go over to your side?

Huh?

Don't interfere with Kazuya's plans with that useless stuff.

Useless stuff?

I meant this stuff...

You're training to become fixtures in a factory?

Kazuya doesn't need that.

There's no way I will allow

Kazuya to waste his time on useless stuff!

You...

Who are you to say what we're doing is useless?

Why would you say that...

just because we're from Asuko...

you don't really know anything about us!

Yoshino.

Girls from Asuko clearly have a terrible attitude.

I'm saying it again,

do not interfere with Kazuya's plans.

I was just saying...

Go home.

It's true that I don't want anyone to interfere with my plans.

Would it be okay if Aruto found out about this?

You did say this was designed by him.

Oh,

you're right.

Yoshino-san?

Oh,

you're from the last time...

Are you waiting for Aruto?

Well... yeah.

If you're meeting with him,

are you ready to pay him money?

Huh?

Are you rich?

That doesn't have anything to do with this.

Then you don't know him.

You need to dangle money in front of him if you want him to like you.

Huh?

You're only a kid... Such an uninteresting girl, too.

What happened?

It's a good thing you waited for me.

Of course, I'd wait for you here.

Let's go.

Uh...

can I have that...

back?

No.

You promised you'd return it today, right?

Mom...

happy birthday.

I'm sorry, Aruto...

for not being able to work...

You don't have to apologize.

Thanks, as always.

But I only give you trouble.

No, of course not.

I'll protect you from him, ok?

You don't know him then... An uninteresting girl, too.

A uninteresting girl, too. A uninteresting girl, too...

Did something happen?

Why do you ask?

Well, you seemed depressed or somethin'.

Oh, it's nothing, I'm fine.

I'd be glad to...give you advice.

Huh?

Since you're the only girl in class... you don't have anyone to consult with.

Thanks...

Yeah.

Tamaki-kun, is there someone that you like?

Eh?

Uh... well, sorta...

I see... who is it?

Who?

Well, uh...

it's....

Ah!

Alright,

I'll say it now...

You see, I...

Hold on a sec.

What?

Look over there.

What?

Here!

Takeuchi-kun.

Can we talk for awhile?

Wait a second!

Wait up!

Takeuchi-kun!

You ran just to catch up with me?

Then you must be desperate... to be this persistent. What do you want?

I finally found out.

What?

Why you entered Asuko.

There's no way...

You really like cars, don't you?

What?

If you didn't, you wouldn't have drawn this.

Also,

you really admire your brother, right?

I told you not to talk about him!

Look at this.

This was drawn by your brother.

These two are so similar.

You say that

you wanted to prove to your dad

that a guy from Asuko can enter a university but the truth is...

You're doing this for your brother?

You also hate those yankee guys...

because they interfered with your brother's studies...

and you think they made him fail the exams.

For Takeuchi-kun,

the truth is that...

your brother's dream to make cars did not come true...

So you came to Asuko, to fulfill that dream for him.

So what's it to you?

Make the eco-car together with us.

You like cars...

Just like your brother who went to Asuko, right?

It's such a waste if all you do is study.

Your brother...

You don't understand anything at all.

My brother...

is holed up in his room and hardly comes out.

No way...

The only thing coming out from his room is the sound of online games.

So you still think I should make eco-cars just like my brother?

That's...

If you don't understand what's going on...

then, don't go around acting like you know everything!

Takeuchi-kun~!

Seems you're good friends with Nao-chan, huh?

What do you mean good friends?

Yes.

Perhaps you didn't see.

I noticed you're often together lately.

She keeps coming after me, that's why.

Hmm...

How repugnant.

Good work, guys!

Oh, Momo-chan!

For working so hard, I bought you some refreshments.

As expected! Girls like you and Yoshino have a different kind of strength, huh?

Ah,

this is really good~!

Is this the design that Takeuchi-kun made?

Oh... maybe I shouldn't have said it.

No, you're wrong.. It was Aruto...

But I heard Nao-chan and Takeuchi-kun talking about this.

Is that true?

Yes.

You heard wrong.

It was Aruto who drew and designed it.

Someone should go and ask him, then.

...What?

Why does he have to come now?

Huh? You're going home?

There's no way I'll make something that was designed by that guy!

Huh?

Tried to trick us, huh, Leader...?

You hid the fact that it was Takeuchi who did it...

That was...

Sorry.

You're enjoying this, aren't you?

No, I don't...

Pretty soon you'll be leaving this school, so you took his drawing...

so that you wouldn't have to trouble yourself with the work.

Yes, I didn't know what to do

but you're wrong about Takeuchi-kun!

-Oh, really? -That guy...

looks down on all of us.

Hirose-kun...

I want to help but...

that guy is just...

Sorry.

You're late.

Don't tell me you went to that school?

I was at the library.

Good.

From here on, prepare for your transfer to another school.

Today we're having Special Curry Meals.

You like this, right?

Yes...

You don't seem well so...

I put in extra effort into making this.

Thanks.

Don't let your food get cold.

-Itadakimasu. -Itadakimasu.

How is it?

Bad...

What?

There's no way...

Huh?

It's bad. Bad as 'oni'.*

[*demons]

Isn't it?

This is strange!

Eh?

I wonder why?

Eh?

Ah! I can't believe this...

I forgot to put the kasuri methi*.

[*a kind of indian spice]

And it got ruined?

Yes. This curry I made has to have the perfect balance.

Even if one spice is lacking, the entire thing will be ruined.

Hmm...

Grandpa, I'll just go out for awhile!

Eh? Nao, where you going?

Is my curry that bad?

I was gonna fix it.

Please knock first at least.

I have a favor to ask.

There's someone you want to find in an online game?

Even if we know which game it is... there are a huge number of players.

It will be a mind-boggling task.

I see...

But depending on one condition, we'll try to do our best...

Condition?

Front arm,

60 inches.

60 inches.

If we can make this android, this will be a step forward for us.

That's right.

So far, how will you be able to find him in the game?

Leave it to us.

There are clues.

Starting period,

setting, age,

play area...

My servers and apertures can diffuse

the information and I'll be able to narrow it down.

Amazing...

Don't fall in love with me.

Eh?

For the record, we have no real interest in girls.

We're only interested in your form.

Sorry but we have never been charmed by girls like you, not even once.

Sorry.

Sorry.

It sounds like I'm being dumped....

Bingo!

I found him!

What?!

This is him.

Can you make him talk to us now?

Leave it to me.

It's unusual for Yoshino to miss the training.

Yeah.

What do you want?

Just come with me!

-Huh? Who was with Yoshino just now?

Was that Takeuchi-kun?

Could it be about yesterday...?

How many times do I have to tell you that I'm busy?

Sorry. Just give me 5 minutes.

I've talked with your brother.

Huh?

How did you...

We looked for him in the online games.

'Are you Takeuchi Hideki-san?'

"We need to talk.'

'Yes but who are you?'

Actually, your brother doesn't want you to admire him.

Instead he wants you to do your best, he said.

Huh?

Your brother...

says he's sorry.

Because of him...

You're sacrificing your high school life.

Your brother said...

that you should do what you like.

He wants you to create good memories in Asuko.

Eh?

Don't always let studying get in the way...

And try to spend more time with friends and to let yourself

have plenty of fun.

So that's what he really said?

Also,

I have something that I want you to see.

What is it?

This.

Go ahead and feel free to create something from it.

Also, to make an eco-car,

you will be needing a lot of parts.

There are big and small parts...

I don't know what each one is for and they're a lot...

Each piece has a role...

and if there's one lacking then the eco-car cannot run.

Just like the curry spices.

That's where I got the idea from.

Oh, sorry.

It's like when people are trying to make something.

If one doesn't function properly, then we can't create something good.

Everyone

is indispensible in creating the eco-car

just like these components.

Takeuchi-kun may make fun of such components...

but every single part here is important.

It's the same with Takeuchi-kun.

Without Takeuchi-kun's design, nothing will take shape.

That's why...

Forget it.

This is just unnecessary...

I know it's unnecessary.

But...

there's a little something that we want to do...

Everyone in class

has a dream to fulfill...

Like finishing his industrial studies.

One works hard so he can earn credits for a job...

One works hard because of circumstances at home..

while someone is desperate to have good grades.

But...

Me...I'm just trying to get away from here.

I hate being the only girl...

being slow to learn during practical training

Not yet decided what I want to do...

That's why...

if everyone is not involved, it will be incomplete...

while I don't think

I have any role at all.

Unlike me...

Takeuchi-kun can draw a design of a nice car like this...

we can't make the eco-car without this.

I think...

I think you're the most important part.

An amazing person like you may not want me as a friend...

But even if I'm a bother, even if I'm unnecessary,

I still can be of some use somehow...

Well, that's it..

Yoshino had said it well, huh--

Are you crying?

What...?

Wait, ya bastard!

You still got a lotta explaining to do.

What material...

should we use for this?

And tell me when should I put this carbon?

Ah...c'mon! Why aren't you saying anything?

You designed this, didn't you?

Hey you...

you're one of the useful parts, too.

Before you ask,

you have to use your head.

What?

To have a light-weight engine...

it'll be impossible to do that without the cylinder head.

Oh...

No matter what, the carbon is the next step.

It's common sense.

Uh, ri-right.

And if you'll use this adhesive liquid, the styrofoam will melt.

What?

I'm sure you learned it from our lessons.

...Of course.

Then you scrape off more on this part.

In spite of all that, had it not been for the skills of Asuko students, this wouldn't ever be finished.

Then... we'll fix it.

-Let's do it. -Yoshi~!

Great job... leader.

Aruto-kun...

You did good.

I didn't do anything.

Anyway, I'm just an uninteresting girl.

Huh?

Why did you say that?

Eh?

The only one who can create this kind of atmosphere is definitely Yoshino.

That role is what you do best.

Thanks.

Hey, stop flirting with each other and help us out here.

I wasn't flirting!

Takeuchi-kun, go and change your clothes.

Yeah.

Omukai-sensei,

did Kazuya come to school?

Takeuchi-kun is making an eco-car in the lab.

Why is he doing such a useless thing?

Like I told you before, hurry and give him permission to transfer.

Without a request from him

It will be difficult to issue a permit for transfer.

Just do without it.

I'm sorry.

I may be a not-so-good teacher from a stupid school but still...

rules are rules.

Are you really gonna move to another school?

It's true.

Why do you ask?

Nothing,

it's just that if I transferred...

I wouldn't have realized that every guy here

is actually useful for some reason.

At last, you know, huh?

Yoshino,

come and help us here.

Ok.

I have been in Asuko for two months now.

I've grown accustomed to it quite well...

I'm fine with most part of the work and I can handle things on my own.

Still...

There are things in the world that we may certainly be familiar with but unable to overcome.

Ah...!

Aruto...

No matter how high we want to fly,

there are moments when we couldn't leap.

Aruto...
