Sanrio Danshi (Sanrio Boys)

I'm Hasegawa Kouta.

I'm a rather average high school student with a bit of a secret.

One day, I had a not-so-average encounter.

You don't mind using the towel I just used, right?

Hey, breakfast is ready.

Thanks.

I'm off.

Can't we go together sometime?

Riverside Kosugi Twin Towers First Building

Riverside Kosugi Twin Towers Second Building

Shunsuke, morning.

Hey.

Shall we go then?

Shunsuke's Place

Yuu's Place

Roger that.

Gift Gate After the Rain

Oh, that's right,

you don't know, do you, Hase?

No...

Mizuno Yuu from Class 2-4.

He's flashy and kind of a jokester,

but he's cheerful and friendly so he's pretty popular with both girls and guys.

Yoshino Shunsuke is in the same class.

He's the ace striker of the soccer team.

The silent and stoic type,

he's really popular with both girls and guys, along with Student Council President Minamoto.

They're pretty famous around here for being big fans of Sanrio characters.

They weren't exactly hiding it, were they?

They're really open about it...

That's it, they use it for attention!

"We love cute things, too."

They use that to make girls swoon, don't they?!

Like I'm gonna let them! Damn them, that's unfair!

That has nothing to do with it, they were more popular than you even before that.

Anyway, it's probably the opposite.

No matter how cool they are, there are still plenty of people

who think it's weird for guys to have those interests.

It's normal to feel like that, isn't it?

Hase?

N-Nothing, you're right! I'm not interested at all!

Oops, sorry. I'm thirsty so I'm gonna go buy something to drink!

I guess I was too pushy...

Mackerel Cola

Why are they selling such a weird thing here?!

I've gotta stop being so careless.

That's how things wound up like they did yesterday, too.

Yo, Kouta.

M-Mizuno and Yoshino?!

You called me Kouta?

Huh? It was Hasegawa Kouta, right?

Yeah, you're right, but...

Then we're good!

Which means it's fine if you call me Yuu.

You can call him Shushu, too.

Don't decide that yourself.

Anyway, Kouta, about yesterday...

You were trying to be careful so no one would find out that I like her, weren't you?

Y-Yeah...

But in the end, I guess I really didn't need to though.

I thought so!

You might have been a little clumsy about it, but it made me happy.

Huh?

I'm saying that you're a good person.

Wh-What's with that?

Something similar happened to me a long time ago.

That's all.

So you had something like that, too?

Well, in my case it wasn't My Melody though.

You're...

You're pretty familiar with My Melody for a guy.

Hey,

does that mean you actually like Sanrio characters like we do?

Oh, class is starting! See ya!

Hey, wait! Kouta!

They figured me out. I knew it.

Ugh, why am I always so careless?!

What are you doing, Kouta?

Ow...

Mom! Don't just come into my room!

Well, I was trying to tell you dinner was ready, but you didn't...

Huh?

I haven't seen this in a while, where did you get it?

I just found it.

This was your favorite thing, Kouta.

It's not food, don't say it like that.

But you used to fall asleep sucking on its ear every night.

Do you still need it?

I'm in high school!

I don't need it at all!

Okay then! You said it's dinner time, let's go!

Gosh, you don't have to push me like that.

Oh, a wild Kouta.

M-Mizuno?

I told you to call me Yuu.

You're hurting my feelings a bit with that attitude by the way.

Sorry...

Then, I request you come with me after school to Gift Gate as an apology!

Why would I do that?!

Oh, come on, let's go.

They get new products in today!

I'm not interested in Sanrio goods though.

How do you know what kind of store Gift Gate is?

I only mentioned new products.

That's not fair...

Well, I didn't think it'd go that well...

You're way too easy, Kouta.

Well, excuse me.

What's the harm? Come with me.

There aren't many guys who like Sanrio,

and when girls see Melody-chan,

they let their guard down when you talk to them.

So you're after girls.

No, I'm just joking, mostly.

Then you're mostly serious.

What I'm actually after is the new products!

I want to enhance my lovely Melody-chan collection.

What's wrong?

I'm not going.

I don't like Sanrio at all.

Man, I got dumped.

Of course you did.

You did that on purpose.

What?

You always stick your nose in without reading the situation.

Being pushy isn't a good thing.

There's not many who share our interests, so I just want to hurry and be friends.

Don't you feel the same, Shunsuke?

I'm not interested.

Dealing with people is a pain.

I'm good with the people I'm stuck with.

I get it, so you're saying you're fine with just me.

Oh my, are you jealous, Shushu?

That's what you think.

Listen, that guy—

Stop! I don't want to hear it!

You're Hasegawa from class 2-3, right?

Yes?

S-Student council president?!

Um, do you need something?

You don't need to be so stiff.

You just had such a serious expression that it worried me.

Oh... sorry about that.

I'm fine though.

Okay then, if you're sure.

If anything should come up though, you're welcome to come by the student council room anytime.

Well, I'm probably being unnecessarily nosey though.

Not at all!

Thank you.

No problem, be careful going home.

You're Nishimiya Ryo, right?

H-How do you know my name?

It's my job as the student council president.

Anyway, you're always enthusiastically observing things, aren't you?

N-Not really, I was just killing time.

It's not like I'm interested. See ya.

Nishimiya.
