Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai

Ijuin-senpai, is this the picture that you submitted in the spring contest?

Yeah!

I'm spring-ish, aren't I?

Well, I feel like Senpai's happy feelings create the spring feeling...

I know, right?!

We're done with "spring"...

You get me, Yamashita Dog!

"Dream" is the next theme, huh?

Are you okay, Pin-senpai?

Y-yeah...

Is something wrong, Hajime-chan?

I-I got it...

You got it?

Do you have a stomachache?

Did you eat something bad?

N-no!

This!

I'll Pretend I Didn't See This...

That great, Pin-senpai!

"Great"?! This is not to be taken lightly!

Do you guys even know how amazing this is?!

No...

Not a clue!

HINA-san is the Rainbow Shogun of the gravure idol world, right?

Wakadoshiyori Sobayonin Roju Metsuke Ometsuke

Shogun

I suppose...

You are correct, Teresa-kun!

R-right...!

HINA is the top of the top in the gravure world, and she's not only a model...

She's also very much in demand on commercials!

Yeah, we've been seeing her in sports drink commercials a lot lately.

I heard she was even chosen as the poster girl for the 114 Building, the high school girls' fashion mecca.

I'm waiting for summer!

There was also buzz about her on TV the other day.

But HINA has never appeared before anyone until now!

I am getting the rare opportunity to meet her!

Wow! Congratulations!

Thanks!

What's more, this is limited to a hundred people, Pin-senpai?

You're so lucky! This is super rare!

Lucky?

It is destiny which brought together two people in search of each other!

HINA, why are you HINA?

Isn't it because she's HINA?

Her clear skin, her big round eyes, her supple legs, and most of all...

HER BUST BREAST CHEST!

But listen up, my friends! It's not about her chest size!

Behold the soft curves of this HINA's breasts!

The gentle curves that start from her collarbone are especially beautiful!

Right...

What?

Hajime-chan, stop it.

Why?!

When all of us were babies, we were held to our mother's bosom and were given love!

Breasts give people a sense of security!

Huh?!

Therefore, we must return that love to breasts!

I-I see!

No matter what path of suffering awaits me,

I will forever pursue my romance of the feminine figure, and I'm going to photograph it!

Well, Senpai says that stuff, but when it's time for him to photograph in front of a girl,

he gets so nervous that he can't take a picture.

Th-that's not true! I've taken pictures of girls! Right, Tada?!

Uh... I guess...

if you mean someone who resembled a girl.

Someone who resembled a girl?

Yeah, he did take pictures of one when you guys were trying to get new people to join the club.

Yes, she was undoubtedly a beauty.

The Photography Club is recruiting new members!

Nice! Nice, Miss!

Look up at the sky more and throw your chest out confidently!

Okay!

Like this? Tee-hee!

Thanks for the encouragement, everyone!

These are pictures from then.

Welcome, Newcomers!

Why would you tell such a blatant lie?

Hmph...

Will you be okay going to the meet and greet like that?

Yeah!

HINA is going to appear before you in the flesh!

Are you gonna get so nervous that you end up feeling sick, Pin-senpai?

What are you talking about? Everything... everything is going to be just fine.

Then, please pretend that HINA is here and give it a try!

Okay.

That's no good.

It's no use.

All of you come with me to the front of the meet and greet venue on the day of the event!

Huh?

No way!

Hell no!

Tada...

Why don't you practice meeting HINA before then for the time being?

Practice?

Yes!

I took ballet lessons a long time ago,

but I learned that the only way to ease my nerves before a performance was to practice.

Teresa-chan, that's some good advice!

I see, I see. Practice, huh?

Another thing, Pin-senpai...

First impressions are important, so pay extra attention to your outfit!

And it's important to mind your manners!

Don't touch her anywhere other than her hands!

And taking pictures is, of course, unacceptable.

Yes, I understand.

Well then, Ijuin, be my practice partner immediately.

Me?! Argh! It hurts for some reason! My headache hurts so bad!

Then, Yamashi-

Sorry! It hurts! I'm aching all over, too!

In that case, Tada... I can't see you as a girl.

Sorry.

Then...

No thanks.

I've got no choice. Class Rep, then.

You come with me.

Absolutely not!

Photography Club

HI-HI-HI...

Hajime-chan?

If you're nervous, take deep breaths.

Inhale deeply through your nose, then exhale through your mouth.

I see.

HI... HI... HI... HI...!

God, I can't say a word after all! And my hands won't stop sweating!

Do your best, and stop sweating.

I can't stop sweating! When I think of HINA, I get nervous!

Then... try imagining that it's me and not HINA.

I see. Okay.

Hi-Hinako-san!

I said it!

That's my name, that's why...

Hasegawa-san was really reluctant. Will she be okay?

She'll be fine. Once you fall in love, you lose.

"Lose"?

"Once you fall in love, you end up doing whatever you're told."

Really?

That's what it said in "Sunflower Express: A Police Blotter in Love."

I see. Hasegawa-san...

HI-HI-HI-HI... I can't say it!

I can't stop feeling nervous even when I take deep breaths!

Then, why don't you write down the things you want to say when you meet her?

I see...

I love HINA's breasts.

I love when she smooths down her hair.

I love that the Girdle of Venus is shown clearly in the lines of her palms.

By the way, the Girdle of Venus is the line right here.

About five percent of people have this line.

I see...

Yeah, and I love how the helix of her ear is nicely curled, and I love how she looks jealous.

By the way, the helix is right here.

Huh? What's wrong?

What? It's nothing.

I mean, I don't think any girl would be happy to hear those things.

Really?

I need to go now.

Okay...

When you can't help but feel nervous, write the character for "person," then swallow it.

I really think that will work best.

That's right... Wait, you should've told me that to begin with!

It's important, so I saved it for last.

Here it comes!

Got it!

Let's go, Tada!

You're amazing, Tada-kun!

All of his plays are out, though.

Yeah!

Tada!

I'm sorry!

Oh, no! Sorry!

Got it!

Teresa?!

Ow...!

Are you two okay?

I'm fine... Sorry about that.

No, I'm sorry.

I hope the swelling goes down before the meet and greet.

Yes, this is noth...

Uh... Huh?
