Horimiya (ホリミヤ)

So much has happened.

I won't even pretend like I remember every little detail.

Because each day was unique in its own way.

Though most of the memories have faded

or vanished completely,

some are still as vivid now as they were then.

As if they happened yesterday.

Kyoto! Fall leaves! Temples!

Yup.

Yuki sure is pumped up for this trip.

See all the tre--

Take a breath 'n' chill, Yoshikawa.

You aren't the boss of me, Toru!

Father and child.

I get the hype.

This is her first time ever coming to Kyoto.

I'm not as stoked since I came during middle school.

We have that in common.

Guess Kyoto's the standard.

But we get to do way more on our own now

that we're high schoolers, which is great!

Uh-huh.

Except at night...

Oh, yeah. Your tattoos.

-Will you be able to take baths? -

I don't think so, no.

But I'm fully prepared to go without them for the whole trip.

Too bad boys don't have private baths

in their rooms like the girls.

-Gonna change clothes, at least? -In a bathroom stall.

I see. Good luck.

Will I enjoy this trip, like, at all?

Will he enjoy this trip, like, at all?

There you guys are! Took you long enough, huh?

- 'Sup, Shu? - Yo!

Where'd everyone else go?

Um.

-Your yelling scared 'em, I bet. -Who's what did what?

Lookie! I got souvenirs from the shop up ahead!

Had to strike while the iron was hot!

Souvenirs on day one?

Dude. Why load up with more junk to carry

before you make it to the hotel?

That's a good point. Let's eat 'em now!

-Wanna help me out, Miyamura? -Um, I, uh-

The kid's nuts to go and buy that stuff right off the bat.

Her enthusiasm just evaporated.

Hey, aren't you and Iura in the same room?

Yeah. Me, him, and Ishikawa.

It'll be fine.

Something tells me it won't.

This bed is so soft!

The whole room's even better than I thought it'd be!

But, having free time 'til dinner

is pretty worthless.

-There's nothing to do. -You got that right.

Let's crash another room.

Ooh! Like a boys' room?

Maybe.

If neither of us grabbed the key...

Shu picked it up, then disappeared.

What are you two doing?

We're waiting. Shu has our room key.

-Seen him around, Mizouchi? -Sure.

Saw him waltz into that room a minute ago.

Open this door right now, you idiot!

Calm down! Inside voice!

My bad. For napping.

I'm not mad that you napped,

I'm mad you didn't let us in first!

At least our stuff is in the room now.

Why don't we take it easy till dinner?

You know, that's not a bad idea.

What's our timeframe lookin' like, anyway?

Hang on. I'll check.

Shu, are you awake?

Maybe I'll take a nap, too.

- -Hold up!

We have to hop in the bath before dinner, right?

- Do we? - Oh, crap.

-Let's get squeaky clean! - No! Let's not!

Stop being so shy! Everyone here is a bro!

Um, I'm gonna take my bath later.

Hey. Move it along, Group One.

There's a line.

Please help me, Ishikawa?

I think he's, uh, feeling sick.

You have a fever? Or a cold? Or?

Well, not a cold, exactly.

He's not "normal" sick. He's on his period.

Oh... You have those?

Come on, what's the holdup, guys?

-Go take your dumb baths. -Dude, shut up!

We're dealing with an existential crisis in here!

What?

Hey, so, that was a good cover, right?

Good cover. And goodbye.

Hey, what's goin' on?

Apparently, I'm on my period right now.

This from the guy who got top marks in phys ed?

You've gotta be kidding!

That was your excuse to get out of the public bath?

Oh, my gosh! Wait.

So then you aren't taking one at all?

Nope. Cramps are pretty intense, so I'm gonna pass.

You know, the shower in our room is free.

Yuki went to visit a friend, and won't be back for a while.

But, we'd get in trouble.

A guy showering in a girl's room?

Oh, well! Only if you want to.

You don't have to.

I feel so alive.

You could've taken your time and used the hair dryer.

I don't think either of us could afford for me to take my time.

D'you hear from Yoshikawa?

-Not yet. - Cool.

I should prep my stuff for tomorrow

while I have the chance.

Be honest. Would you just let any guy in your room

if they were between a rock and a hard place?

You shouldn't, Hori.

Which is why I wouldn't do it!

- Really? - Really.

You let me inside, though.

Because you're not like that.

You'd never, you know.

So why even pretend like you are, when you aren't?

Aren't what?

What am I?

You're a trustworthy kind of guy!

You wouldn't try something?

Sure about that?

I should be getting back to my own hotel room.

Thanks again for the shower.

Wait. Hey!

So if I said he could try something, he would?

And why'd he ask about letting other guys in my room anyway?

I took her towel.

Oh, there you are.

Yay, you can join the yukata club, too!

Where've you been all night, dude?

Well, um... Just out.

Whoa! Over there!

-Maiko, at ten o'clock! -It's rude to point!

-Hey there, ladies! -Don't wave at them!

I'll give your towel back later.

We have plenty more.

But speaking of, what's your plan for tonight?

Huh?

To wash up?

I'll handle Yuki if you come over.

Oh. Don't worry.

There's a late bath for people who miss their time slot.

-I can go then. - That's convenient.

Should've read the itinerary more carefully. I'm sorry.

Don't be.

Thanks for waiting. Your turn.

Sure about that?

Now I feel plain stupid

for thinking so much about how to respond.

And why wait till today to read the rules?

Hori?

-You gonna take a bath or what? -Yup!

And not comin' out till 11:00 p.m.!

You'll be a prune.

This class trip flew by so frickin' fast.

Sure did.

Parting's such sweet sorrow, but bye for now, Kyoto.

We've got pics to remember it.

Ooh, and I've got space for more!

-Gimme a peace sign! -Stop it, Yuki!

I'll make you copies when I get these printed, 'kay?

Thanks, girl.

Between yours and our teacher's photos, we'll have a ton!

Look at Iura messing with Toru!

That was really funny.

Here's you stuffing your face.

Hope we come back together when we're older.

Same.

Hey! They want us on the buses, like, now!

We're on our way!

Over too soon.

-Race all of y'all to the bus! - Oh, it is on!

Miyamura.

This was a pretty nice class trip, huh?

Yeah, it was.

Get the lead out, slowpokes!

Coming!

Miyamura?

Oh, wow! It really is you! Just with shorter hair!

-Looks good! -Turn off the hose

before you keep talking!

Remi didn't realize! Sorry!

You're absolutely soaked, huh?

It's fine. I'll wring myself out later.

That won't do, though!

Dry off with a towel. The nurse has some!

We need the nurse for this?

-Ta-da! -Um, thanks a lot.

Can we use these when the nurse isn't even here?
