Kiss Him, Not Me (私がモテてどうすんだ)

"A prince should always be with a princess."

Who's the one in charge of making rules like that?

-- --

Nice one, Igarashi!

Thanks, man.

Nana... nice set.

Well, yeah. Surprised?

Talk about conceited.

Score...

Score...

Score!

So cute!

A prince should be with another prince!

Why can't it be like that?

It feels so right!

The way they're hanging off of each other is so precious!

My heart is about to burst!

Lord, thank you for my daily bread!

I hope Nana is all right!

Jeez, he really knocked the wind

outta her!

Wake up! You're fine, right?

Snap out of it!

It's okay.

Seeing you two together is my last memory.

Thank you for that, Nanashima.

Don't you die!

Get up, Serinuma!

Finally awake.

Thank goodness.

Can you see, Kae?

I'm fine. What happened?

Nanashima fell on top of you in P.E.

You hit the wall and passed out,

so we brought you to the infirmary.

Yeah, that's right.

That smile makes me wonder if he hit you too hard.

I can't stop thinking about their beautiful display

of sportsmanship.

A 5x7 was unfolding right in front of me.

Oh, girl, if those two are on the table

then it's gotta be 7x5.

I'll climb aboard that ship though!

Well, I respect your opinion...

but without a doubt it's gotta be 5x7.

That's cute and everything, but think about 7x5.

I'm pretty sure we can both agree that it's the natural

order of things.

Hate to say this, but you just don't get it.

Right back at ya, Kae.

My name is Kae Serinuma.

This is my second year of high school.

I'm a little... well, actually, it's pretty obvious!

I'm what you'd call a fujoshi !

I'm heating up!

I love seeing hot guys get along with one another.

Sharing things, rough-housing... I can't get enough!

When I witness the splendor of a passionate bond

between two guys, my chest starts getting hot

and I can't help but pair them!

Even if they don't have a real connection,

my imagination is more than enough!

Any chance I get, I'll picture them together!

This is the way I live my life and I am not ashamed!

Even classmates are no exception to the whims of my fantasy.

Don't you think Nanashima looks a lot like Shion

from Mirage Saga ?

Ooh, in that bad boy sorta way, right?

Yeah!

Pardon me. Serinuma.

If you're feeling better now, would you stop hogging the bed?

We have a student who's actually ill.

Of course! Sorry about that, Shinomiya.

I'll leave you to it.

Let's get going!

Sure.

You seem fine.

I hope you weren't faking.

What was that?

You little--

It's okay!

What's his problem?

That's Shinomiya.

He's a first year who's on the health committee with me.

Well between you and me,

his bedside manner could use some work.

How can a pretty boy be so harsh?

I think the uptight attitude kinda works for him.

A snootier guy can be a tease-- so more fun to dream about!

That's so true!

The colder he acts, the hotter he gets!

Serinuma?

What happened... to your face?

Heya, Mutsumi.

Just a little accident.

I can see that. Are you all right?

Totally. Thanks for asking!

That's good. I'm glad.

Kae, you seem to have this weird connection

with hot guys.

What? You think so?

Mutsumi is really cute.

Maybe I should join the history club, too.

Whaddaya think?

I'm in clubs.

I wouldn't call that a connection.

She's awake!

You okay?

All good!

That's a relief.

You really went flying back there.

The whole class was worried.

Nana.

What do you want?

Do ya think you could come over and apologize?

Uh... sorry about that.

It's just a little concussion.

You didn't get hurt or anything, did you?

You're like a human cushion,

so I walked off without a scratch!

Human cushion?!

Dude. Not cool!

In that case, I'm happy I could be useful.

Nana! Stop being a jerk!

Let go!

We're sorry about everything.

Quiver!

You could be a little more sensitive.

Was that supposed to be an apology?

If he wasn't gonna take it seriously, why even walk over?

You shouldn't let it bother you.

You heard, right?

Nanashima was the one who fell on me,

but Igarashi apologized for him!

So cute! Adorable!

I can't stand it!

Pairing!

Okay, maybe you should let it bother you a little bit.

I couldn't if I tried.

Their sweetness is just too much!

The truth is...

It wouldn't matter if I do have some sort of

unexplained connection with hot guys.

A prince should be with a prince.

I can't deny the longing in my soul.

Yes!

Shun me and turn to one another!

Peeping from the sidelines is the sustenance I crave!

That's where I belong!

Shion plays a big part in Mirage Saga tonight,

doesn't he?

Yeah, I'm pumped for this episode!

Sorry in advance for spoiling it online.

I'll try to hold back.

Sure.

See you tomorrow!

Have a good night!

Everything was going my way...until that night.

My strongest opponent... Ready to fight?

Oh, Shion!

Today's animation is gorgeous!

-- --

Shion?

No, please!

This can't be the end!

Stand up, I'm begging you!

Shion!

What's wrong?

What's the matter, Kae?

Will you shut up?!

Kae Serinuma?

Don't tell me she's absent again.

It's been a week now.

She's not answering her phone and she hasn't been online.

I hope she's okay.

Kae?

Kae!

You can't just hide in your room forever.

Come out!

Sweetheart, I'm worried that you haven't been eating.

Takuro... I'll need your help with her.

Huh?

Well? Fix this!

You worried about your little sister, right?

She's such a pain!

Hey, fatty!

Get your butt outta that bed!

Stop moping!

Gimme... the damn... blanket!

No!

Enough is enough!

You can't keep this up or you'll get sick and die...

Is that what you want?

Fine, you win.
