Sanrio Danshi (Sanrio Boys)

I'm Hasegawa Kouta. 17 year old high school second-year.

The five of us went to Puroland like we've always dreamed!

It was so much fun and the best ever!

It really was a dream come true.

That's where I found it.

Okay!

I want to be like them!

I want to be like Purin, Kitty, My Melody, Cinnamoroll, and Kiki and Lala!

And... like all of you.

I want to sparkle, too!

Sparkle?

Not Kiki and Lala?

So, what do you want to do?

Right!

That's...

That's...?

I'm not sure.

Sparkling Rhapsody

Well, I guess we kind of get that you want to do something.

But you don't know the important details, do you?

Sorry.

Why don't you try really thinking about the sparkling again?

I want to sparkle,

but what do I want to do?

You're really agonizing over this, aren't you?

Guess I better give you some advice then.

I mean,

I am your number one friend after all!

No, you're just his classmate.

What, you're still fretting over that?

Hey, Hase!

Yeah,

Hey, where's Shunsuke?

I'm right here, wait!

He had some team stuff during lunch break.

The soccer team has it rough.

I'm right here!

I see...

Why don't you try really thinking about the sparkling again?

That's it!

Yuu, thanks! I knew you'd help me out!

I don't really get what's going on, but good luck.

Yeah.

You okay?

I don't really know.

Well, you weren't actually dumped by Hase just now.

You just never existed for him to begin with.

Which means, Hasegawa is joining the team as a trial.

Please take care of me.

Ow, ow, ow, ow!

What are you doing?

Did you find your sparkle?

I came here to find it.

Huh?

The source of sparkling for me is Yuu and Shunsuke and the others.

So if I'm with them, I might be able to understand it more.

Now then, let's start practice.

Okay!

That's enough of afternoon practice.

G-Good job everyone.

You okay?

I'm fine.

This isn't it.

Library

You don't really need to help me.

I want to.

I'll find it this time for sure!

The book is due back after a week.

Hey, please don't sleep here.

I'm not sleeping, I'm not sleeping!

Please be careful.

Jeez.

I told you not to fall asleep!

Whoa.

Do you want to try holding it?

Sure!

My feet fell asleep.

Sorry for making you help me.

No worries. I wanted to try cooking for once.

Ow!

Hey, you okay?!

You are making something I can eat, right?

Hey, Purin, there wasn't anything for me to sparkle at.

This is serious.

Totally serious.

So hopeless...

Kouta-kun, are you okay?

What is it, Yuu?

I'm not Yuu, I'm Melody-chan.

So, you still can't find your sparkle?

No.

That's tough.

Right, Kitty?

I'm Kitty-san.

Wh-What are they doing?

Hey, Senpai...

I'll think about it with you, so hang in there, Kouta-kun.

Not you, too, Senpai.

Come on, Kiki and Lala should join us, too.

Wha?!

We're Kiki and Lala.

Do their voices properly.

Senpai!

Hey, Kouta-kun. Why do you feel that you want to sparkle?

That's because...

When I met you and Shunsuke and you said you were the Sanrio Boys,

I was embarrassed but happy.

And then I got to know President and Ryo.

Everyone has something that they devote themselves to.

I thought how amazing and nice that must be.

I vaguely felt like I wanted to do something, too.

But I could never figure out what that thing was.

The Miracle Gift Parade...

When I saw the Miracle Gift Parade, I realized I wanted to sparkle.

Then let's do it, the Miracle Gift Parade.

Huh?

We can sing and dance and put on a show.

Sing and dance?

And put on a show?

In other words, a musical?

A musical?

It's a great idea!

Sounds interesting.

Where would we do it though?

There's the school festival in the second semester.

That's perfect Shushu,

and, if I recall correctly, students can participate in it individually, right?

W-Wait a minute!

I mean, are you sure? We just decided that so easily.

It sounds like a lot of fun though, right?

Yeah.

I don't think we can do it.

What? Why?

That's true.

There's so much to prepare with the script, the music,

the costumes and the sets, the props and rehearsals.

Do you think amateurs like us could do all that?

You have a point.

We can manage it with effort, guts, and a positive attitude!

Shunsuke, don't you have team activities?

I'll do my best for Shunsuke's portion.

You can't, you have your sister to think about, Yuu.

Well, we can make it work somehow.

But...

It's pointless to try and stop me now.

I'm curious about your sparkle, too.

Yuu...

Yeah,

let's make it Kittyful.

Seriously, Shunsuke, what is "Kittyful"?

It just means Shushu's excited, too, right?

We will need to be prepared if we're going to do this.

It's not going to be a smooth ride.

What do you want to do, Kouta?

I want to do it.

I want to try doing it!

Understood.

Let me join you, too.

You, too, Senpai?

So, what are you going to do, Ryo-chan?

Th-There's no way...

Ryo.

Fine, I'll help, too.

Thank you!

Let's all do our best together!

Please let go of me.

Now then, if we're going to put on a musical, there's one problem.

Yes, the script.

There is that.

It's the music, right?

That's another one.

Costumes.

That, too.

It sounds like we have nothing but problems when you say that.

We have a much larger problem.

That is...

Money.

The heck, you meant money?

Senpai, please don't scare me like that.

Money is kind of... yeah.

If we do a musical at the school festival,

it will be treated as an individual student participation.

In that instance, we would not receive a budget from the school

like the classes or clubs do.

It would all be out of pocket.

If we estimate the cost of the musical

based on plays performed at previous school festivals...

It adds up to about this much.
