Stardust Telepath (星屑テレパス)

A spotless uniform.

A brand-new bag.

A pristine notebook.

My entrance ceremony is tomorrow at last!

The start of my high school career!

My tummy hurts just thinking about it!

Stab stab stab

Life on Earth is full of challenges for me.

I just know that I won't be able to talk to anyone, or make any friends,

as time passes me by...

After all...

What I say won't reach anyone.

Not a single person on Earth.

But out there somewhere...

Surely there must be someone it can reach...

Umika!

It reached us just fine!

Thank you, aliens!

If I could just go somewhere else,

I know that I could find someone...

A shooting star! No way!

I wish I could meet an alien!

Did I make it in time?

Starting tomorrow, maybe I'll try just a little harder...

That was a good nap.

Where am I?

Huh?

Episode 1

Fujinomisaki High School Celebrating Entrance Ceremony

Hey, all!

Welcome to your new school!

I'm Akane Emihara, and I'll be your homeroom teacher.

My name's written with the character for "smile," so I hope you can smile here, too!

My name is Umika Konohoshi.

Let's kick things off and have everyone introduce themselves.

I'm fifteen years old, and as of today, I'm in high school.

Like everyone else, I'm a normal Earthling...

I think.

Hello!

My drawing came out well!

Homeroom teacher: Akane Emihara

You over there! Pay attention!

And I get yelled at a lot.

I've embarrassed myself already...

Don't worry about it.

Introductions are always so nerve-wracking.

Relax, relax!

Thank you.

Not again...

Everyone calls me Nasshi.

I'm not good at talking to people.

I want to continue playing volleyball in high school.

Nice to meet you!

Self-introductions

Yeah, same here!

You're up next, Konohoshi!

The words just won't come out.

Y-Yes...

They get stuck in my throat,

and my face turns red.

I-I-I'm... Umika Konohoshi.

I h-hope we can all get along.

Yeah! Me too!

Sasaki, you're next!

Sigh

Siigh

Siiigh

Okay!

Siiiigh

Siiiiigh

I really am hopeless!

I can't talk or laugh normally like everyone else.

It's like I'm from another planet.

All righty!

Homeroom teacher: Akane Emihara

Self- introductions

Entrance ceremony

Everyone line up in the hallway!

Next stop: the entrance ceremony!

There's nowhere left for me here.

But I know that out there somewhere,

there are glorious worlds where my words and feelings can reach others:

the radiant, far-off worlds that I read stories of as a kid.

That's why I won't give up!

I'll go and find somewhere I belong, all by myself!

If Earth isn't for me...

Yes!

I'll go to outer space!

If no one on this planet can understand me,

I just need to find a planet with people who do!

According to my research,

some aliens out there can communicate telepathically!

So awesome!!

I'll find aliens who can understand me,

Fujinomisaki Prefectural High School Entrance Ceremony

and I'll prove that there's a place where I fit in!

You can do it, Umika!

Keep fighting, Umika!

Sorry I'm late!

Class 1-A, third on the roster!

My spaceship broke down, so I got here late!

What? Spaceship?!

Yep!

Um, my student ID should be here...

The name's Yu Akeuchi, and I'm an alien!

Hope we get along!

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Eh?!

What now?

I wasn't expecting a close encounter of the third kind so soon!

Spaceships? Aliens?

Anyway, talk!

I need to talk to her!

I can do it!

That's why I got...

this alien language dictionary!

Pe... pe... pegi!

Sho hard! Alien language is hard!

Whatever!

Be brave, Umika!

Alien Language Dictionary Second Edition

That thing you did at the entrance ceremony was wild!

That thing?

When you went, "I'm an alien!"

What an eye-opening way to make your big entrance!

That alien stuff really freaked me out!

You should have picked a better joke!

Joke...

I should have realized it.

There's no way I'd come across an alien so easily.

Aliens don't really exist!

You're such a baby!

UFOs?

That's just make-believe on TV.

Are you serious about finding aliens?

I saw it on TV the other day.

They said that humanity won't ever encounter aliens.

The chances of humanity encountering intelligent extraterrestrial lifeforms... As for places within our solar system where the possibility of life exists... Although moons like Europa are often suggested, intelligent... The possibility that they exist is close to zero. In the vast... Searching for a planet with intelligent life on it... We can infer that the natural continuation of human civilization... This supports the opinion that such a discovery is impossible...

You're wrong...

You're wrong!

You're wrong!

You're wrong!

Alien Language Dictionary

My people, the ones my words can reach...

I'll definitely find them!

Ah!

I know that book!

Um... hello, hello...

Pe... pe...

That's it!

Peggyov movrovbivuubavuv vuv!

Right?

Pronouncing the voiced consonants is the hard part of alien language!

Imagine green magma bubbling up from deep within the earth,

and say it real loud, right from the diaphragm!

Movrov! Movrov!

Mo... mo... mo...

No, no, like this!

Movrov! Movrov!

Mo, mo, mo...

Wait, you're red as a beet!

Is it a cold? Are you okay?

No, this isn't a cold...

Um, um...

Lemme see your forehead real quick!

Stress, worries, shock, anxiety...

A great longing... for outer space?

Doesn't seem like a fever.

That's a relief.

What was that?

When we touched, it was like all of my feelings were laid bare...

It's almost like...

Sorry for scaring you, Earthling Umika Konohoshi-chan!

That was foreheadpathy!

It's my—Yu Akeuchi's—special alien power!

Forehead...pathy?

Looks like no one else believes I'm an alien.

Akeuchi-san, sulking as she said that,

seemed so innocent, mysterious, and yet somehow warm.

I felt something from her, different from the Earthlings I knew.

A real... alien?

Hm?

I wanna be friends! I wanna be friends! I wanna be friends!

I wanna be friends I wanna be wanna be friends I wanna be friends I wanna be friends I wanna be wanna be friends I wanna be friends I wanna be friends I wanna be wanna be friends I wanna be friends I wanna be friends I wanna be wanna be friends I wanna be friends I wanna be friends I wanna be wanna be friends I wanna be friends
