"Kudo's Musical Instruments" "Metropolitan Police Department"

"Kudo's Musical Instruments" "Metropolitan Police Department" This is awful...

The culprit is his own grandson?

Yes.

According to the witness...

That place...

"Aim for nationals!!"

"Aim for nationals!!" ...was irreplaceable.

Over there! It's him!

See you later, Takezo.

I leave the club to you.

You'll be fine.

If it's you, Takezo, I'm sure...

"Aim for nationals!!" If it's you, Takezo, I'm sure...

"Aim for nationals!!"

"Koto club"

"Kanagawa Prefectural Tokise High School" "School Entrance Ceremony"

"Kanagawa Prefectural Tokise High School" "School Entrance Ceremony" Hey.

"#1 New Club Members" Why is that Kudo guy here?!

"#1 New Club Members" By "Kudo" you mean Chika Kudo from Nishi Middle School?

That guy's crazy!

"Welcome!!! Koto Club"

"Welcome!!! Koto Club" All right.

Perfect!

Next is...

Are these fliers for the koto club?

Principal!

You're very passionate, huh, Kurata?

Ah, well...

The upperclassman have graduated,

so now I'm the only one left in the club.

If none of this year's first years join,

the club will be disbanded.

Is that so?

An old friend of mine actually started this club.

So, I wouldn't like it to disband either.

Good luck, okay?

Ah, thank you.

"Welcome!!! Koto Club"

"Welcome!!! Koto Club" New club members, huh?

"I'm a virgin~" "Koto Club (LOL)"

"Abandoned" "Koto Club (LOL)"

Ahhh, shit!

Not that way!

Damn, this shit is hot!

Oh?

Nadeshiko!

You've come back to visit our little oasis again?

Th-This is the koto club's room.

C-Could you please leave now?

The new students will be coming to look around today.

If the club looks like this...

Club?

You mean this thing?

Don't touch the instruments!

What have we here?

You're pretty full of yourself, huh?

Even with it in this state, not even the teachers care about this club.

Whether it's here or not, doesn't matter.

No one will notice.

Just like no one notices you.

It's gonna be disbanded anyway, right?

Just give up already.

I--

I won't let that happen!

I made a promise to my upperclassman.

So...

I see...

In that case, I'll make you give up.

-You'll never play agai--

--S-Sto-- --You'll never play agai--

You bastard! What do you think you're doing?!

The hell? A first year?

Hey, quit it!

That's Kudo from Nishi Middle School!

What? The guy that had a run-in with the police last year?

Hey, idiots.

You better stop messin' 'round in front of my street!

Move!

Hey, I have business in there!

Huh?

U-Uh, business? But this is...

--Huh? --Hey, Chika!

Tetsuki?

It's only the first day! What are you up to already?

Didn't you say you weren't gonna get into fights anymore?

Are you stupid?

I was protecting beansprout four-eyes over here from a bunch of delinquents.

--Right? --What?!

Really? Sheesh...

Um, where are the upperclassmen?

Ah, I-I'm the koto club's president so...

Huh? You are?

You're kidding me!

We don't have a hot upperclassman?!

-What is this guy's problem?

--Well, whatever. --What is this guy's problem?

Here.

Huh?

W-Wait, uh... this is a club room for...

I know!

"Club Application 1-F Chika Kudo"

I'm joining the koto club.

What?

Th-This must be some kind of mistake...

-This is a club for playing the koto...

--Hey, idiot! --This is a club for playing the koto...

What's with this club room?!

Do some cleaning, you octopus!

Huh? I do the cleaning everyday...

I've heard enough.

You are disqualified as club president.

From today on, I will be president!

Huh?! Wh-What are you saying...?

I-I don't know what you're up to,

but I can't accept this!

Get out!

This isn't a hang-out spot for you delinquents!

What's with this new member act?

Stop mocking me!

"I'm a virgin~" "Koto Club (LOL)" What the hell is this?!

"I'm a virgin~" "Koto Club (LOL)"

Wh-What is this?!

"Four-eyed alien I took the club sign, stupid four-eyes. From Chika." Wh-What is this?!

What should I do...?

I have to get back the sign I inherited from my upperclassmen.

Takezo got home late today, huh?

He said he was doing club stuff.

Club stuff? So that koto thing?

He's still doing that?

I thought he was doing it out of desperation after failing the exam.

Takezo didn't get into Meiryo High School?

It seems his stomach hurt the day of the test...

Even though he had the grades to pass...

Takezo always messes up when it's important.

It was true that I hated that part of myself

and was on the verge of despair.

But...

Well then, moving on...

This is a presentation from the koto club.

The koto, huh...

It's like...

I don't know anything about the koto, but even I can tell.

They're really bad.

Watching this club...

...is kinda like watching myself.

They probably want to stop performing and run away.

Um...

Are you wanting to join?!

Uh, no, I...

Yes...

I ended up saying yes without thinking...

But...

Thanks for joining, Takezo.

Huh? There's a piece you want to teach me?

So close to graduation?

It's a piece that has been taught here for generations.

I'm glad I've found an underclassman I want to teach this piece to.

I'm really glad

that you're here, Takezo.

C-Can you give me back the sign now, please?

No.

Huh?!

Please!

I inherited it from the upperclassmen,

so it's very important to me.

I ain't got shit to give back to you.

What's so special about it in the first place?

Don't make me laugh.

What is with that guy?!

Suddenly showing up and barging into the club.

Why did he have to go and say that!

The hell? You again?

Why are you here?

Where's all the stuff that was here?

--I threw it out. --Huh? All their things?!

It was trash.

Y-You didn't throw out the instruments too, did you?

What are those glasses of yours even seeing?!

My neck, my neck!

Like I said, I'm joining the koto club!

Why would I throw out all the instruments?

Huh?

Anyway, idiot, if you're so free then go throw this out.

Why me?

The... sign...

Damn it...

What is that guy even thinking?!

Like I said, I'm joining the koto club!

No way, no way.

There's no way a guy like him wants to play the koto.

Nadeshiko!

What?

Kudo already making you run errands for him?

Huh? No, that's not...

You think Kudo's more dangerous,

so you're siding with him, is that it?

It's not like that...

Don't talk back to me!

You getting involved with these small fries again?
