Sakamoto desu ga? (Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto)

In Class 1-2 of Gakubun Prefectural High School,

one student had the entire school's attention from the very first day.

He's stylish carrying out class duties,

he's stylish at lunchtime,

and he's even stylish when sent to stand in the hall.

Every single move he makes is...

Cool!

Cooler!

Coolest!

He lives an overwhelmingly cool, stylish high school life,

and his name is...

Haven't you heard? I'm Sakamoto.

Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto

I'd Rather Protect Than Be Protected

Pardon me.

Bird-san, it's me.

Lunch Pack Bird-san, it's me.

Yes, it's Sakamoto.

Not home?

My goodness, what a waste of a trip.

Well, well...

This is...

not a pleasant scene.

You seem to be rather well-off.

Sakamoto-kun...

Th-This has nothing to do with you.

I'm a weakling,

so if I don't pay to protect myself, who knows what they'll do?

My sympathies.

Huh?! You aren't going to help me?

You just came over to give your opinion?!

Yukichi-san is protecting you, isn't he?

Please help me, Sakamoto-kun!

I don't have any money!

I lied about needing school fees and haircuts to get some from my mom,

but I can't keep this up! I can't hide it from her forever!

My goodness, you look pitiful.

I'd rather not see you being any more unsightly than this.

I have an idea.

Welcome.

Um, what are we doing?

If you have no money, I believe all you can do is work.

W-Well, yeah, but...

I'm in charge of training new hires. My name's Matsuyama.

Nice to meet you.

If you have no preferred position, you'll be in charge of operations.

We are at your command.

Huh? You...

Is my hair too messy?

Sakamoto-kun, you'll work the register!

Why do I have to do this?

It's not like I even want to work.

Maybe I should just come up with more excuses to get more money from Mom.

I know! I'll tell her I came down with a mysterious illness and need medicine—

You're not working.

I'm sorry!

I'll quit this stupid job after the first day.

I mean, it doesn't make sense!

Why should I have to work for those guys?

You're in the way!

It got busy all of a sudden...

Will you be dining here?

T-Two cheeseburgers, and...

One smile, pwease.

Kubota-kun! Stop spacing out and make the fries!

But, I've never made fries...

It's simple, just fill the carton.

Come on! We don't have time!

Ow, hot!

Would you like to try our limited-time Skyfish with that?

We managed to get over the hump.

I've never seen all the seats filled at this hour.

Is Sakamoto-kun having an effect already?

Kubota-kun, this has been a hectic first day, huh?

Good work.

Good morning.

Oh, Sakamoto-kun, your shift starts now?

Yes, until closing.

What's the matter? Your zit face is beaming.

Oh, you noticed?

Well, today is my very first payday!

What should I spend it on?

Maybe I should finally get my hair straightened.

What about you, Sakamoto-kun?

Well... I think...

I'll buy a new protractor.

You're such a serious student!

Uh...

I'll have a Big Wac meal with cola, and...

I know, I know!

One smile, for takeout.

Good for you, Acchan!

You idiot! Shut up! Good for you, Acchan!

You idiot! Shut up!

Kubota-kun, once those fries are done, you can go home.

Okay.

Ugh... It's them!

I can't let them see me...

Hey, isn't that Kubota's frizz?

Whoa! It is Kubota!

I wondered why we hadn't seen you lately. You've been working here?

You should've told us!

Wait, are you ignoring us? Really?

Sir, may I take your order?

Oh, I'll get the teriyaki burger meal with iced coffee.

Same for me.

Hey, Kubota!

When you get off, come to Gakubun Park.

If you don't, you're dead.

Later.

Thank you very much.

Aw, man! They didn't give me any gum syrup!

I didn't even get my straw. This sucks.

Hey, there he is!

Been workin' hard?

Hey, why'd you ignore us earlier?

We're your friends, aren't we?

And your friends are running a little low this month.

You get me, right?

That's my boy. You do get it!

Yukichi-san is protecting you, isn't he?

N-No...

This is my own money, that I worked hard for!

So what?!

Don't try to act tough, you wuss!

Cough it up right now!

No... I... I...

I have to protect this!

Ow! What the hell?!

Sir, I'm terribly sorry.

I forgot to put these in your takeout bags,

so I brought them to you.

You're that guy from the...

Sakamoto-kun...

He's gone?

I'm sorry to say that, as a counter worker, this is all I can do.

Kubota-kun from operations,

I think there's something that only you can do now.

Something only I can do...

I did it... I did it!

Thank you, Sakamoto-kun!

I understand now...

What I really need to protect isn't myself,

much less my money.

It's my pride.

Wait, huh?!

I'm still on the clock.

I don't have time to listen to your drivel.

But... That's so harsh...

Well, those techniques you used...

They still need polishing, but I could see the shine in them.

No way...

He wasn't looking at me,

but he was trying to... trying to...

look through me, Aina, to the blackboard?!
