Kiznaiver (キズナイーバー)

Hiya.

Ah...

Hisomu-kun.

Um...

Hiya.

Yahi.

You probably didn't eat anything again, huh?

Oh, yeah... I forgot.

Chidori always prepared my food for me.

Mackerel Miso

You sure are a failure, Katsuhira-kun.

I just got told by Hisomu-kun...

Can Opener

I bought a can opener, too.

Are we having a canned foods party?

Yup.

If there's any left over, we can save it.

And it's sort of dangerous to eat, right?

Like this. See?

Put it right to your mouth and eat.

Okay...

No one's made any moves since then...

I've been bored since there's been no sudden pain since that day.

But that being said,

I just can't be satisfied with normal pain anymore.

Since that day...

Did you hear my voice just now?

I couldn't hear anything. You mean your thoughts, right?

Good.

Looks like unless our hearts are strongly impacted, we can't hear each other's thoughts.

To: Subject Attachments: Then we should probably try to avoid having any contact with each other for the rest of the summer.

It's decided, then.

Don't do anything weird until the summer's over.

Anything painful.

They said that the Kizna would be released automatically.

I wonder what that'll be like.

Will it disappear like, "poof"?

Or will it be like painful, like "urgh"?

Will it even disappear at all?

Huh?

Oh, right.

I guess your Kizna with Sonozaki-san didn't disappear.

Yeah.

But...

It's like it was never there.

I never had that scar before, and yet...

Have you contacted Sonozaki-san?

I emailed her, but I haven't heard back...

It's you.

I guess summer's about to end.

Our Kizna are about to disappear, too.

You Knew Very Well That Your Romantic Feelings Might Be Unrequited, Right?

KIZNAIVER

Whoa, you're totally tan!

Hey, you guys. It's been a while!

Goodbye, Summer Days...

Hello!!! Entrance Exam Wars!!

Well, how're you all doing?

How are we doing, my ass.

Well, since you're second-years, this was the last enjoyable break you guys get.

Now the treacherous death road toward entrance exams is waiting for you.

You're so annoying, Yamada.

Don't be so boo-hoo about it.

You got to make some good memories over your last summer, didn't you?

You guys in clubs went to summer training camps

and did tests of courage at night, didn't you?

I didn't do any tests of courage.

Maybe you lit fireworks on the beach,

or had secret-revealing contests with your friends?

What kind of youth-filled dream is that?

That bastard.

Why not?

Summer's the season when various things go berserk, right?

I'm sure there are some who spilled their hearts only to get rejected,

right?

What's the matter, Tenga?

Bathroom.

You bastard...

What's the problem?

You're the only one who's hurting.

His nose is bleeding!

Well, either way, summer's over now.

Time to change gears and concentrate on your studies.

It didn't hurt at all.

Not my body nor my heart.

Don't talk to me. We promised, remember?

Just until the end of summer, right?

Hey, Honoka-chan...

Honoka-chan...

Hiya.

What are you doing?

Oh...

I'm looking for Nori-chan,

but I can't find her.

H-Halt!

Halt? We weren't trying to move to begin with.

S-Sorry!

Huh? Don't apologize over that—

Sorry!

I mean, I, um...

Well, I thought about a lot of things!

After being apart from everyone, well... This past summer...

was so much fun!

Though we did a lot of hurting, running, and crying...

In my seventeen years of life,

it was the most fun summer I've ever had.

And I, um, well...

I think it's because everyone was there.

Nico-san...

Yeah, I'm sure. Tenga-kun—

It's not just that!

Of course, I like Tenga-kun...

But I like you, Katsuhira-kun, and you too, Hisomu-kun!

Is this a reverse harem?

That's not what I meant!

Chidori, Honoka, and Yuta-kun, too!

I like all of you!

So even though our Kizna is gone, I want to stay connected.

I want to properly be friends with all of you.

Because I...

Then let's be friends.

Huh?

That's right. Well, buddy, good to have you.

While we're at it, Katsuhira-kun, too.

I-Is it really that simple?

Yay! Even though our Kizna is gone, we were able to connect with our hands!

Good for you.

Yeah! I'm so glad!

What the hell are they doing?

I'm all spinny!

You're really something...

It's been a while, Nori-chan.

I thought you'd be in school right now.

Is this all right?

I knew you would be coming here, Mayor,

so I couldn't leave.

I had to see what all of those guests were doing, too.

In October, the government will be conducting an investigation.

Until then, I'm completely shutting down this lab.

Nori-chan?

This is the perfect opportunity.

I wanted to show you the results of the experiment firsthand.

Nori-chan...

Everyone involved with the Kizna System thinks of you as their own daughter.

I feel the same way.

We will never abandon you.

I don't understand what you're thinking, Mayor.

But as long as we can be bonded...

Nori-chan?!

Wait, Nori-chan!

H-Huh?

Nori-chan!

Nori-chan, no!

Nori-chan!

Wh-What's wrong?!

Something's wrong.

I think... it hurts.

Is it the Kizna?

Who, who?

Where, where?

Nico doesn't feel anything!

That's not good.

If Katsuhira-kun, who doesn't feel pain, is saying that...

Ah, it disappeared.

Could it be Nori-chan?
