Nanbaka

Idiots with Student Numbers!

Greetings, Mother.

Nanba 13th High School

How are you?

I've been assigned to Nanba 13th High School as of this spring to teach.

Compared to other schools, this school is filled with somewhat energetic...

Heaven and Earth

or should I say, very energetic students.

Strongest

Maybe unique is a better term?

Year 3 Class 13

This is the class I teach. Third year, Class 13.

I will teach them how wonderful it is to experience the prime of their lives.

All right!

Huh? What? Um, excuse me!

Please open the door! It's your teacher, Tanabata!

It won't open?

Jyugo-kun!

You're hopeless. It's like this every morning.

It's open.

S-Sorry to trouble you every day.

Good mor—

It worked!

H-How could you?!

All right!

We got it! We got it!

Thirteen

Today's Seitarou fish print!

We got it again.

If we look at them all in turn, maybe it'll look like he's moving.

Just like an anime!

Why do you keep falling for the same trick every morning?

Well, who would expect them to keep doing it every morning?!

Oh, we're gonna do it every morning.

Oh, look. He's crying.

Jeez, stop teasing him!

Here. Your handsome face is ruined.

Thanks...

Dear Mother... I forgot to mention it,

but this is a boys' school.

And this student is a boy, of course.

Make sure you clean this up, Seitarou.

M-Me?!

Of course. You are the newbie here.

Um... I'm actually a teacher.

Thanks, Seitarou-chan.

Hey, Big Sis Momoko has arrived.

She's as beautiful as ever... Big Sis Momoko!

Her hair looks so soft.

Her only flaw is that her fashion sense is way too outdated.

A yo-yo?!

He got hit with marbles yesterday.

I-I'm so happy...

Hyakunin Isshu Understanding the emotions through seasonal words

This time around I couldn't even bring sacred streamers To Offering Hill But if this brocade of autumn leaves Is to the gods' liking

So, what did Michizane mean in this poem?

Fashion

Nico-kun, play your game at home!

Oh, no!

I told you to be careful.

Nico's dangerous when he's pissed.

Here!

Thanks!

Please turn off the sound, at least.

Okay.

Hey, everyone. Let's pay attention to the lesson, shall we?

Who cares?

It's not like I'm gonna become a writer or something.

You don't have any dreams for the future?

Of course we do!

Really?! What's your dream?

A 100% success rate when picking up girls!

Getting a stone oven installed in the cafeteria!

A new game and a thousand manga books!

Those aren't dreams. They're just wishes.

Huh?!

Hey, where's Jyugo-kun?

He ditched class.

He's a genius when it comes to how fast he can escape a classroom.

Hi! I'm the P.E. teacher, Yamato!

This is Tsukumo-kun. He's in the celebrity course!

It's lunch break!

Teachers' Office

Seitarou-chan! You're still getting beaten up by that threesome?

Yes, Vice Principal.

See? I warned you, didn't I?

Students No. 25, Nico,

No. 11, Uno, and No. 69, Rock, are trouble.

It must be a heavy burden...

for a newcomer who's fresh out of college.

Um, Mr. Qi...

Shouldn't you be doing your experiment in the science lab?

Oh, this isn't an experiment. It's a new medicine concoction.

If you don't mind, can you be the test subject after school?

I absolutely refuse!

The teacher before you quit, too, because those three tormented him.

This is a photo from his welcome party.

Chu-Hi

Student No. 15, Jyugo-kun, is a good, relatively docile kid.

That's where you're wrong.

He's famously known as "Mad Dog Jyugo,"

and rumor has it he always carries a knife.

Really?

Did you see the scratch marks on the wall?

It's all his doing.

He's definitely on the blacklist!

He doesn't look like that to me.

Who are you?!

I'm Musashi, and I got transferred here today.

Student No. 634.

Huh?! There are only about five or six students in this class.

Why No. 634?!

No, there are 633 students in this class alone.

They just don't come.

Most refuse to attend school.

This class is that big?

Long time no see, Jyugo.

What are you doing here?

What do you think?

We're gonna settle this once and for all.

Nurse's Office

Musashi-kun?

There's a rumor that he's a delinquent who carries around a lighter.

It seems he caused a small fire at his previous school.

Really?

Jyugo-kun and Musashi-kun...

They seemed to know each other already.

What?! What?!

My report.

Okay, that's good, but don't just unlock the door!

My bad. It's just that when I see locked doors, I have to open them.

Why?

Dunno.

Maybe I'm expecting to find it once I unlock the right door.

Find what?

Something that will fill the emptiness inside me.

Empty? You?

I'm jealous of them... Uno, Rock, and Nico.

Um... Can you just close the door for now?

Teachers' Office

There's trouble! Jyugo-kun and Musashi-kun are gonna fight behind the gym!

Wh-What did you say?!

What happened to them?!

We can't tell with all this smoke!

Wait, Seitarou!

Don't be crazy!

Stop this!

Nurse's Office

Are you awake?

What happened to Jyugo-kun and Musashi-kun?!

Don't worry. They were expelled just now.

Expelled?!

Principal's Office

Principal! Why is Jyugo getting expelled?!

What choice did I have?

Starting a fire, possessing a knife, and destruction of property can't be ignored.

I bet you're glad to be rid of them!

In the end, all schools

will just pluck out anyone who's deemed a nuisance! It's always one-sided!

Don't, Uno.

But...

I'm okay with this.

Please, wait!

They weren't carrying a lighter or a knife!

Seitarou...

Musashi-kun has a physical idiosyncrasy where his body spontaneously combusts,

and Jyugo-kun's hands just happen to turn into blades!

That's all!

That's all?

They're not delinquents, nor should they be blacklisted!

They're just normal students!

They're just taking out their pent-up energy on each other!

It's a natural thing for young people to do!

They're students of this school!

Why won't you face your students head-on?!

This really isn't about facing them head-on...

I want to believe in my students! That's all!

I don't want them to give up their high school life simply because

their hands turn into blades or their bodies spontaneously combust!

Very good, rookie teacher.

Wow, Administrator!

What you said sounds outrageous,

but I was touched by the compassion you have for the students.

Then I guess I'll overlook it just this once.

Jyugo!

All right!

I'm so happy for you!

What a tear-jerker!

Wh-What?

Are you planning to beat me up as thanks?

That's something we do when we graduate.

You've got some brass ones, Mr. Tanabata.

You were so cool, Teacher!

Teacher?

It was the first time someone called me "my student."

See ya tomorrow.

I'll search for it here a little bit longer.

For something that fills the emptiness.

Oh, but please stop unlocking doors without permission.
