Star Driver (STAR DRIVER 輝きのタクト)

The spring breeze! It came again this year.

The Milky Way is whole.

A shooting star!

What did you wish for?

I'm sure you'd do fine if you went to Tokyo.

What are you talking about?

Do you just like being mean?

If it was me...

Stop right there!

Do you have any idea what you're saying?

Swear! Don't you ever...

I smell... a boy I don't know.

It's fading!

Wako?

Episode 1 Galactic Pretty Boy

I made it... to my new stage!

He's awake. Good morning.

Er...

You're in my house.

I'm Sugata Shindo. This is Wako Agemaki.

She found you unconscious on the beach.

She saved your life.

Can you get up? Breakfast is ready.

Sorry! That was actually my stomach...

Hey, it's not funny!

My luggage was sent ahead to the dorms,

but I thought I'd figure out something when I got here...

This is great! Can I get seconds?

And you missed the last ferry, so you just swam across the sea?

What was I supposed to do, miss the opening ceremony?

If that's what you were worried about,

you could have taken the morning ferry and made it with time to spare.

What?

Incredible... you're incredible, Takuto Tsunashi.

Well, I got to enjoy this breakfast, right?

And I got here alive anyway.

You'd be dead if Wako hadn't found you.

Hm?

Takuto Tsunashi. Why did you come to school on this island?

To do something amazing!

Something amazing?

Yeah!

A fabulous school life!

Like, singing out your youth?

Exactly, that! The cerulean sky and azure sea!

You want to sing out yer youth, ya go to the southern island!

...that's what Grandpa said.

Your grandfather?

He said this was a good school. I'm really glad I came.

That's what I think when I look at you guys.

You know, Wako was so worried she came to see you this morning.

Nice, huh?

Cut that out.

So Takuto Tsunashi, pardon my rudeness, but...

Have you had your first kiss yet?

It's on the list of defining moments of youth I plan to go through!

What kind of question is that?

Would you count mouth-to-mouth as a kiss?

Mouth-to-mouth, huh...?

Seriously, stop it!

Okay, done!

I'm heading home.

Hey, um...

Mmf?

I heard you saved my life. Thanks.

See you at school.

I'll accompany you.

She's a nice girl. She and the master are betrothed, you know.

Hmmm...

Hey, would you count mouth-to-mouth as a kiss?

Wako!

We're still in the same class in high school!

Yay!

And Sugata's with us too~

Huh. Class 1. Must be fate.

Manabu Sakuma

Sugata Shindo

Takashi Dai

Takuto Tsunashi

Hey, isn't that kid standing next to Sugata cool?

His name's Takuto Tsunashi.

Why do YOU know him?

Hey!

Hey!

Oh, you're buddies too?

Ahem. My name is Ruri Makina, and my specialty is meat and potatoes!

Meat... potatoes... want...

Meat and potatoes. Sounds good, doesn't it?

What?

Well, there's a new face.

He's pretty friendly with the South Maiden.

Is he a transfer?

Done moving your stuff?

Are you in this dorm too?

I live on this island, so I'm not in the dorms.

Yeah, I guess.

Were you looking at this picture?

This picture... is one my dad painted.

I think he's here on this island.

Oh, where's your girlfriend? Wasn't she with you?

Right now, Wako should be purifying herself.

Purifying?

Wako is one of this island's Maidens.

One of the Maidens?

There are four special girls on this island.

She's betrothed even though she's a Maiden?

Where'd you hear that from?

It's a custom in my family to marry a Maiden.

But, I believe that in the 21st century, we should be free to follow our love.

It seems like Wako's interested in you.

I came to invite you to dinner, but...

Please come to the New Student Reception.

Mandatory for all dorm residents.

Sorry, that's me.

Okay, quiet!

All the new residents are here, right?

I'm your beautiful RA, Benio Shinada!

Hey, that wasn't a joke!

Let's all be nice, okay?

Before you eat, let's go over the dorm's iron rules.

Men on third floor, women on second. No mixing!

Welcome to a fantastic dorm life!

The cherry tree in the

courtyard is PRETTY

isn't it?

The bath is for girls until 9

After, it's for the boys!

Peek and DIE

Iron Rules

Iron Rules

3rd floor: Boys 2nd floor: Girls 1st floor: Co-Ed

You can see the

ocean behind you

There's an open-air

bath too

If there's something bothering you,

you can always come to your RA

The lobby on first and the dining hall are exceptions.

Bath houses are for women until 9:00, then for men.

If you break one of these...

Well, what if I break one?

You'll have to do 100 pull-ups in your swimsuit. Keep it in mind.

So your lipstick isn't against the rules?

This is lip balm!

Call it whatever you want, it's still red.

It's red lip balm! Clam up, Tetsuya.

Uh, is she really going to make us do swimsuit pull-ups?

Relax. Benio's the only one who's ever done them.

Wow. She's actually done that?

Hey, new kid. Did you really swim here from the mainland?

It was a youthful indiscretion...

Still pretty impressive.

You must be pretty strong. Why don't you join my club?

Oooh. The boxing club?

You must be good at fighting, then.

Fighting is totally different from boxing.

Got it.

I'm George Honda, second year.

Just come check us out.

Hey, you! If you let George get to you,

that pretty face of yours is gonna get beaten in.

Way to ruin it...
