Yano-kun's Ordinary Days (矢野くんの普通の日々)

All right, this makes Kiyoko Yoshida our class president.

Oh, thank you.

Should it really be me?

Everyone wants you because you're dependable, Kiyoko.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I didn't expect you to show up late with an injury on day 1.

Are you okay?

Oh, yes.

Everyone has introduced themselves already, so it's your turn, Yano.

I'm Tsuyoshi Yano.

Tsuyoshi?

Tsuyoshi?

He sounds strong.

He looks weak, though.

Yano-kun's seat turned out to be the one next to mine.

YANO-KUN

There aren't many people whose name and looks mismatch this much.

THE NEXT DAY

TWO DAYS LATER

Wake up, Yano.

ONE WEEK LATER

Yano-kun's...

Huh? Do you have a crush on him?!

No!

He shows up with a new injury every single day!

Yeah, true.

I wonder if he's okay. Why and how does he get so many injuries?

I'm so curious.

I-Is he being bullied?

Is it domestic violence?

Domestic violence?

Kiyoko, you're such a worrywart.

No, it's not just me. Anyone would be concerned for him.

Well, then...

How about we follow him after school and see what's causing all his injuries?

Great idea.

I don't think anything's gonna happen.

He's just walking normally.

No, we can't be sure yet.

He's only gone about 10 steps since leaving the school grounds.

Also, your scarf's been bothering me all day.

I don't know how to tie it, so I just left it.

You can't do that!

Who cares about that right now?

He just tripped over nothing.

Did his shoelace come untied?

Ouch.

H-He hit a branch.

It seems like...

CAUTION!

MODEL HOUSE

OPEN HOUSE

Yano-kun's just...

He's just a total klutz, huh?

That's worrying in its own way.

See ya.

Thanks.

Someone that ridiculously clumsy...

I can't help but worry that he might get into an accident.

Are you okay?

Did you trip?

Oh, um... A really fast bike suddenly appeared behind me and...

And then... I... I was surprised!

Aw, that must have hurt!

I'll patch you up now, so hold on!

I've got a little brother and sister around your age, so I always carry this around.

What a relief.

Thank you very much.

No problem.

Your knees still hurt, right? Can you get home okay?

Yup! I just let my mom know, so she'll be here soon.

Well, thank you again very much!

Bye.

Elementary schoolers these days carry smartphones?

Ouch.

Y-Yano-kun!

I got snagged on a branch.

Are you okay?

Why is he here?

He was going the opposite direction when we were following him.

Did he... notice us?

No way, of all people, Yano-kun wouldn't notice.

I sensed someone following me, so I followed them back,

and it was you, Class President.

I'm sorry.

Oh, it's totally fine, but...

I'm just wondering if something was going on.

I'm really so sorry.

It's just that you show up to class with a new injury every day,

so it got me really worried.

What?!

The class president of 2-1 is a stalker?!

So I followed you to find out how you're getting so many injuries.

She's the stalker from 2-1!

Stay away!

Creepy Class President!

I'm so sorry for being such a creep.

That's why you were following me?

You're so kind.

But as you probably noticed, I'm just really clumsy.

Sorry for taking up your time.

See you tomorrow.

"You're so kind"...

Big sis, you're back!

Welcome back.

What I assumed was normal...

Smells good!

made him say that.

What's wrong?

It really caught me off guard.

I'm turning off the lights.

Huh?

I caught his nosebleed.

Morning.

Morning.

I know I ask you every morning, but are you okay?

I injured the same finger I jammed last time.

Oh... During P.E. yesterday?

Yeah. I fractured a bone.

It's not like you're not athletic, Yano-kun.

You think so? I'm just glad that I'm left-handed.

You're so laid-back.

Do you catch colds at all?

Huh? Colds?!

I get injured a lot, but I actually never catch colds.

Oh...

He seems happy.

Blood?!

Yano-kun, you're bleeding!

I'm bleeding, huh?

It must be from bumping into that sign earlier.

You're too calm!

Oh, are you going to the nurse's office?

Yup.

I'm too worried about him.

I-I'll go with you...

That's okay. I can manage.

Ouch!

They were about to crash into you.

Oh! Sorry!

Th-Thanks.

I'm, y'know...

more predisposed to injuries than most, so I'm used to it.

So I don't really mind getting hurt.

But I never want someone else to get hurt because of my predisposition,

like almost just happened.

I'm actually pretty tough, so I'll be fine on my own.

Thanks so much, though.

He said that, but I'm still really worried.

Huh? About what?

What do you mean?! Who else would I be worried about besides Yano-kun?

Sure, there are other people and things... Like tests.

Ugh, lately I can't stop thinking about him. Not just in class, but at home, too.

Is he okay? Did he get hurt? What's he doing right now?

I just can't stop worrying about him!

Worrying? That sounds more like you have a crush on him.

Huh? You had no idea?

Morning.

Mor—

What?

No injuries today?!

Really?

Amazing!

You seem super proud!

It feels weird not having anything stuck on my face.

Really?

Now that I think about it, I think this is the first time seeing this much of your face...

He's got beautiful skin.

Yup! I've got a crush on him!

There's an assembly during first period, so please line up in the hallway!

I've barely slept at all since then.

What? You really had no idea?

You're too loud!

But seriously, I have no clue how I'm supposed to act next to him...

Let's take attendance.

Ayase.

Here.

Iida.

He's absent.

Did he catch a cold?

He was bragging how he gets injured a lot but never catches colds.

Is he okay?

THE NEXT DAY

Is it a cold?

TWO DAYS LATER

Is he okay?

THREE DAYS LATER

Oh? Yano's absent again.
