Here Is Greenwood

May

I finally made it.

Ryokuto Academy

Yakkun, you're going to live in the dorms?

Why?

I wanted us all to live together. Why?

I, Kazuya Hasukawa, will live in the dorms of Ryokuto Academy from today on.

Because you see, my only living relative, my brother Kazuhiro...

...got married this spring.

Now our home belongs to newlywed lovebirds.

Fine, I know you don't like me anyway.

Go live in the dorms or wherever you want.

Who could live under those conditions?

How could I live under the same roof as my first love...

...who is now someone else's wife!

Congratulations on your acceptance to the academy.

As of today, you are a student of Ryokuto Academy.

And congratulations on getting out of the hospital.

You've been through a terrible ordeal, but thankfully, it's over now.

Thank you very much.

Things are not going to be easy for you.

Missing the entire first month of your high school career...

...is going to put you at a disadvantage.

You're going to have to overcome this handicap.

Please try as hard as you can.

Yes, sir.

It was awful.

On the day of the school tour...

...I almost got run over by a car at the school gates.

On the day of the entrance exam...

...the trains were stopped because of a snowstorm.

My acceptance letter was delayed in a mail truck accident.

And to top it all off...

I was hospitalized the day before the admittance ceremony.

And now I don't even have a home to go home to!

I will not be beat down!

Excuse us.

Let me introduce you.

Shinobu Tezuka is our student body president.

Mitsuru Ikeda is an RA.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

I'll take you to the dorms.

They are your upperclassmen, you can ask them anything.

Think of them as your older brothers.

Older brothers?

It was my dream to get in to Ryokuto Academy, where my brother went.

After our parents died, he raised me all on his own.

Everyone in the neighborhood respected him.

How could he destroy my life?

I won't forgive him!

Huh? Did you say something?

Uh, no.

What bad luck to be hospitalized right before school started.

Were you sick?

Sort of.

Well, it's good you're all better.

This Ikeda guy reminds me of Kazuhiro when he was in high school.

This is the Ryokurin Dormitory which is going to be your new home.

We call it Greenwood.

Greenwood?

It's easier to say than Ryokurin Dormitory.

Everyone's been looking forward to you coming.

Judo Club, Anime Club, Volleyball Club...

Baseball Club, Drama Club

Music Band, Karate Club

Tennis Club, Ping Pong Club

Kendo Club

It's against the rules for the clubs to recruit in the dorms...

...so no one will approach you directly.

It is part of the academy, but it's also an independent facility.

This is how we protect our privacy.

Welcome, Kazuya Hasukawa.

We are trying to spread the word of God by selling Bibles.

Don't let them get to you.

This is your room.

Hey, your roommate is here!

Oh yeah, I forgot I have a roommate.

What's wrong, Hasukawa?

There was a girl in there!

Yep.

That's your roommate...

...Shun Kisaragi.

That was a shock.

I thought you were really a girl.

She really is a girl.

What?

Nice to meet you. I'm a freshman too!

I don't blame you for being freaked out.

I guess we should tell you the truth since you'll be living together.

We didn't realize until she told us.

We thought she was little strange, but...

Her birth certificate and all official documents list her as a boy.

But she's definitely a girl.

For certain reasons, she was raised as a boy all her life...

We can't get into the details right now, but...

She has to graduate from this academy as Shun Kisaragi...

...a male student, no matter what it takes.

That's impossible...

We're going to need your help, Mr. Hasukawa.

But no one other than the four of us can know about this.

I know it won't be easy, but she needs your help.

We'll see you later.

Get some rest.

We hope you get adjusted soon.

You've got to be kidding!

How am I supposed to live...

...with a girl pretending to be a boy for the next three years!

Miss Kisaragi!

Call me Shun.

Are you okay with this?

Yeah.

I've always gone to all-boy schools, so I'm used to it.

Besides, I trust you.

You don't even know me!

Oh, Mr. Hasukawa, we forgot to tell you.

This building is really old, and the walls are like paper.

Our room is right next door.

If we hear her scream or anything strange...

...we will personally make you pay.

I'm sorry.

This sucks for you.

I know it does.

To tell you the truth, I was relieved that you were hospitalized.

If it's too much of an imposition, you can tell the dorm lady about me.

It's not an imposition...

Really?

Thank god!

Mr. Hasukawa of room 210, your luggage is here.

Your stuff is here!

I'll help you!

Damn!

I'm in the same situation again!

Suka!

Suka!

Hang on, I'm getting dressed.

Hey, can I call you Suka?

Isn't that cute?

Hey, Hasukawa, good morning.

Good morning.

Did you sleep well?

You start classes today, right?

Yes.

Your classes might be hard.

Let us know if we can help you in any way.

Thank you.

It's too bad we're not in the same class.

That's all for today.

I don't have a clue.

Hasukawa, I hear you're Kisaragi's roommate.

You know Kisaragi?

Kisaragi's famous.

Good luck Hasukawa!

Greenwood is a lair of weirdoes as it is.

But if she was really a chick...

...I'd live with her in a heartbeat!

I'll trade you.

I know this is a boys' school, but...

...there aren't enough women here.

Our school is the only one with a male nurse!

It's unforgivable!

Isn't it?

I think he wanted to work at a girls' school.

I heard he's gay.

Infirmary

I'm sorry to bother you with such a small scratch.

Don't be silly.

The infirmary is here for the students.

Come any time.

Thank you.

I'll go now.

Kazuya, I'm your brother, what are you doing?

Freak!

I don't remember having a brother like you!

Oh?

Is something bothering you?

My brother is masculine and virile.

Why is he wasting his life in a sad little boys' school?

Listen up.

I'll tell you one thing.

At school, you and I are strangers.

We are not brothers.

And...

And, you better not do anything to make Sumire unhappy!

Why would I do that?

She's my beloved wife!

She's my beloved wife!

He's so fun to tease.

I will not be like Kazuhiro.

I swear to be more respectable!

Welcome home!

Aren't you supposed to pretend you're a guy?

Don't you think you should be more masculine, like with short hair?

No, that would make it worse.

See, if I look this way and go to a boys' school...

... people just think I'm a freak and they stay away.

But...

...if you want me to, I'll cut it.

I didn't mean it like that.

You're so cute.
