Kiznaiver (キズナイーバー)

I've...

killed someone before.

Just kidding.

Why are you taking that seriously?

M-Maki-san?

Say, Sonozaki-san.

I think I've somewhat come to terms with this situation actually being real.

And? How do we get out of it?

R-Right! I forgot to ask that in the first place.

In one week, summer vacation will begin.

Summer is the season of youth.

You will all have to survive that season together.

That is your final mission.

Once that is finished, the Kiznaivers will be disbanded.

Survive the summer?

Th-That's all we need to do?

Yes.

Then that might be pretty easy!

That is all for today.

Please make sure you don't forget anything.

We still have more questions!

I'm totally going to violate her...

Whatever.

Let's go home.

I'm sticky from sweating so much. I want to shower.

Hey, wait a sec!

Your self-introduction isn't done yet!

I think you now know that I have a terrible personality.

I see...

What do you think?

I think...

I've found it.

KIZNAIVER

Depending on How You Look At It, I Think We Could Get Through Anything... Right?

Kacchon...

I loved you!

Hey, you done yet?

You seem to be adapting quickly.

Also, why are you following me?

I promised that I'd protect you!

Did we promise something like that?

I can't have you getting hurt on me.

Living together just seemed like the logical choice, don't you think?

I don't think I've ever met someone so unfit to use the word "logical."

This place is super fancy, huh?

I thought these places all had the same floor plan.

Oh...

Apparently my dad messed around with it.

Though, both my parents are away on business trips right now.

Hey, can I buy a spin at the rare gacha on your phone?

Sure.

Don't be stupid!

Uh... Huh?

Letting someone else use your smartphone is unthinkable!

What would you do if

I were some bad guy using your phone to do bad stuff?

Uh...

Listen up, you.

You're connected to me now.

If you let random guys do random things to you, I'll flatten you!

F-Flatten?

Ow!

Takashiro Chidori

Hey, did you get a Kizna just now?

Yeah, I did... I think.

So that one wasn't you...

I wonder who it was. That one hurt quite a bit.

I called you without thinking.

Huh? Are you not supposed to call me?

W-Well, I mean...

Do you want to talk in person, then?

Oh! So that's where you live.

Tenga-kun?

That's awesome! Childhood friends living next door to each other!

Your parents are away on a business trip!

How classic! What an amusing situation!

Hang on. I'm heading over there right now.

Huh?

Huh? H-Hey, wait!

Ow!

Ow...

Jeez... Think about the situation we're all in a bit more, would you?

Not to mention...

I knew it. You didn't do anything about that.

People would be suspicious if they saw that.

Here, give me your hand. I brought enough handkerchiefs for all of us.

Wow, what a hassle.

Ow!

It still hurts?

You guys aren't hurting anymore?

Even though I totally sprained my wrist?

What's going on? Aren't we all supposed to share the pain?

I definitely felt the pain, the moment Tenga-kun landed.

Perhaps residual pain is different?

Huh? Residue?

Yeah... The residual pain you feel after the initial pain, or something like that.

Maybe we don't share it to that point.

Then what about the first pain we felt this morning?

It's probably from someone besides us.

Damn it, who the hell is it?

Doing whatever the hell they want, even though we're connected!

I'm gonna flatten them! Flatten 'em!

When I said I loved you, it was past tense, okay?

It's a thing of the past.

I know. If you want, I can pretend I never heard it.

No!

What the heck? Is that how little it meant to you, Kacchon?

N-No...

I didn't want to remember anything unnecessary and make things awkward...

"Unnecessary"?!

No...

I just figured worrying about me would be bothersome for you.

Be a little more confident, would you? Take more interest in yourself.

I think that's probably because I'm not interested in myself.

What? You guys having a lovers' quarrel again?

That's not it!

Then what is it?

It has nothing to do with you.

Sugomori Municipal High School

Sonozaki's not here?

No! And Nico had so many questions.

Like, 200!

So that pain this morning wasn't Niyama-san, either.

Or Maki-san, right?

Huh?

Hey, what's up with your arm? Did the mark disappear?

Foundation.

I put it on really thick.

Trying to hide it with a bandage or handkerchief

just makes it more unnatural.

Yuta, what happened to your left hand?

I just got hurt a bit.

It looks so painful! Do you want to go to the nurse's office?

Want to come with me, then?

You idiot. What are you planning to do?

Jeez...

Yuta!

Are you okay?! Did you get hit by a bus or something?!

What are you talking about?

Yuta, you're friends with someone like Tenga?

"Someone like Tenga"?

Hey!

Yuta-kun, let's talk about the future a bit.

Huh?

The future?

What is there to talk about? I'm a bit busy—

Oh, yeah!

It was at our hospital, too!

See?

It was so funny, Nico took a pic—

I got it. But we should talk somewhere else.

S-See you later...

If you don't show up, I'll flatten you. Got it? Flatten!

What do you mean by flatten?

Hey, Yuta! Wait!

I beg of you, don't talk to me in the classroom.

You guys are in our class's "peculiar animals" category.

What?

Even me?!

Yay, peculiar animals!

Nico's a baboon! Boing!

Honoka-chan is different, but I can't have too many girls around me.

More importantly, if it wasn't Yuta-kun, either...

Owie!

H-Huh?! Wh-Who was that?

What do you mean, "who"?

We're all right here...

D-7.

It showed up this morning, too.

"D"... I wonder if it stands for "damage."

Come to think of it, when Tenga-kun fell, it said D-2.

You sure remember some minor details.

Does that mean these are numbers that we were all assigned?

Assigned?

But there are only six of us, right?

But, say, if there were actually one more...

That sound!

Sonozaki!

Where are you? Come out here, damn it!

I'm currently traveling.

You can hear her from here.

I have an appointment I need to go to.

Not to mention, I'd rather not be violated

by Tenga-kun after appearing in front of all of you.

Why, you... I was kidding! I won't violate you.

I won't violate you, so please, come out!

He won't violate you, but I'll give you some candy.

I have no need for candy, either, but I will tell you about your current mission.

Mission 2: Look for the Seventh

You Kiznaivers, who are bound by your wounds...

I would like for you to find the final member.

KIZNAIVER

Wound?

Uh, it's nothing.

Maybe not a wound, but... How you're feeling?

You know, I worry...

Hey, you're being really weird lately.

Is Tenga threatening you or something?

Uh... No...

Hey.
