My Awkward Senpai (不器用な先輩。)

Good morning.

Good morning.

Hey, don't sound so draggy.

Always arrive fifteen minutes early. It's called being a grown-up.

Well...

Last night's drinking party ran a bit late.

Please forgive me!

Well, It's true that such social events are part of the job,

but you need to have limits.

Huh?

Isn't Kamegawa-kun here yet?

You're right.

He's usually early.

Senpai's been telling me for the past six months to arrive fifteen minutes early, so...

This is unusual for him.

I mean, technically, he ain't late, so it ain't a problem, but...

ABOUT MY SHIFT TODAY HOPE YOU ARE WELL. I APOLOGIZE, BUT—

YU KAMEGAWA > AZUSA KANNAWA: ABOUT MY SHIFT TODAY

I'm so sorry.

I haven't been feeling well since last night,

so I'm going to see a doctor before work.

I'll be back in time for our afternoon meeting.

Warm regards.

Go rest, you idiot!

MY AWKWARD SENPAI

I'M GONNA VISIT MY JUNIOR!

"I'm Gonna Visit My Junior!"

Kannawa-senpai!

Hmm?

Oh.

Why are you two together?

Well, because...

we became besties after our trip to the spa!

Yeah!

Is that so?

We were chatting away while eating our post-bath ice cream.

That cold ice cream after a hot bath...

Truly a blissful moment!

Eating with you made it even more delicious!

It was so fun. We should go again.

People with high communication skills become friends so fast!

By the way, are you by yourself today?

Huh?

You're usually with Kamegawa-kun.

He's taking the day off because he's unwell.

He tried to come in, and I had to stop him.

I see.

It's been getting colder lately, after all.

Maintaining one's health is part of the job.

What if he made his condition worse?

Wh-What?

You two are acting weird!

This is a good opportunity.

Why don't you go visit your precious junior tomorrow?

What?!

It would be a nuisance for me to bother him out of the blue like that.

I'm just his senior.

That's not true!

I'm sure he'll be happy to have the senpai he respects so much visiting him!

RESPECT...?!

Respect?

But I don't know his address.

I know where he lives! I swung by his place on our way back from the newbies' meeting.

But his girlfriend could be visiting.

Nope!

There's no way!

But...

Aren't you worried about him?

You're such a cold-hearted mentor.

Of course I'm worried!

Then let's go!

It's decided.

In the end... I showed up.

Maybe I am being a nuisance.

No.

Since I came all the way here...

CALL

Drop it off and go home.

Drop it off and go home.

Um, excuse me?

Kamegawa's... girlfriend?

Are you visiting

my big brother, perhaps?

What? B-Brother?

Oh! Are you his girlfriend?

No!

I'm not!

I'm not his girlfriend!

Yes?

S-Senpai?!

She said she came to visit you!

What?

It's pretty cramped, but come on in.

W-Wait just a minute!

Sorry.

I only wanted to drop these things off and head home.

N-No!

It's messy, but if you don't mind... please come in!

I'm Yuki, his little sister!

KAMEGAWA'S LITTLE SISTER YUKI KAMEGAWA

I-I'm Azusa Kannawa.

I've been your brother's mentor since this spring.

I started university this spring, so I visit here from time to time!

Senpai!

You don't need to introduce yourself so politely to her!

R-Really?

Lucky you. You have such a pretty mentor.

Cut it out.

Please take a seat over there. It's a bit cramped, though.

Th-Thank you.

Is barley tea okay with you, Senpai?

Don't worry about me.

You're sick, so you should be resting.

Don't worry!

I feel a lot better after sleeping all day yesterday.

But...

The doctor also said it was nothing to worry about.

I see. That's great.

EGG RICE PORRIDGE

Enough with all this sick talk!

She came all this way. Time to serve our guest.

Wow!

She got you all kinds of things!

Is it okay if I take them out now?

Of course.

Okay!

Time for your cute little sister

to prepare something delicious for her poor, sickly brother.

Huh?!

No, you can—

I...

I'll help, too!

What?!

Let's begin.

What should we prep first?

Hmm...

Let's wash the apples first.

Okay! Then I'll get the dish soap and—

Don't use that!

Oh, really? Then...

Huh?!

I didn't know Kamegawa had a little sister.

Sorry about before!

I just assumed you were his girlfriend—

Hey!

Say any more than that, and I'll get angry.

Ooh, scary!

All right! I did it!

Wow! Amazing!

Next, we can...

Enough! I can do the rest!

Aww.

Really?

Senpai... Did you...

Isn't it cool? A bunny!

Well, I practiced, after all.

If someone who usually never cooks spends time practicing cooking for me...

That would be...

Yeah! That would be nice... I think.

You practiced?

No! It's nothing!

It's done.

Thank you so much.

Well, you're the one who made the rice porridge, though.

Hey, scooch in a little more.

Huh?

Come on.

Hey, wait...

You, too, Kannawa-san.

Oh, I'm good.

Hurry! The porridge will get cold.

Oh... O-Okay...

Now, eat up.

As if you even did anything.

Well, I'm digging in.

How is it?

It's good!

Really?

Oh, Yu.

Don't go crying tears of joy just because Kannawa-san peeled an apple for you.

That's not going to happen.

My big brother tears up so easily.

Just the other day, he was crying while playing some game.

Which game?

That game I was talking to you about.

When I played it, I started crying.

I know how you feel.

You can't help it!

What is it?

Sorry!

We must be boring you, talking about stuff like this.

Not at all! It's just that...

Yu's clearly happier since you came over, Kannawa-san.

Hey! I told you to cut that out!
