Kiznaiver (キズナイーバー)

It's all right.

You're not the same as us, Katsuhira-kun.

You'll be able to get it back.

You'll be able

to get back your pain.

No!

I don't want to do it alone!

It has to be with everyone!

With everyone?

Yeah.

"Everyone" is such a strange word.

Huh?

Where does "everyone" begin and end?

Each one of us is different,

and yet to put all that together, and...

I know what it means.

"Everyone" is everyone that I like.

It has to be with everyone.

I see...

You're...

Sonozaki-san?

What the heck?

That sort of hurt.

What the hell are you two doing?!

You only have Baum Rolls?

But I prefer Lumonde.

Don't be picky.

But there's not much difference in cost.

Don't complain about what you're given free!

Just shut up and eat, you weirdo.

Now That We're All Connected, Let's All Get To Know Each Other Better, 'Kay?

KIZNAIVER

A masochist?!

Oh, that might make me sound bad.

What I want is purely pain.

Sorry. I'd like to confirm your definition of "masochist."

It's just pain, and nothing psychological?

Yup.

I'm not into that kind of thing.

Though I'm a bit particular about what kind of pain I like.

Like pain so sudden, I never could've imagined it...

That's the best kind, so...

I like walking through slightly dangerous places,

or running into slightly dangerous people and slightly dangerous cars...

You know, like that.

Those aren't things you should say lightly!

The idea that there's a Kiznaiver who's obsessed with pain...

Isn't that a bit too joker-ish?

Oh, I'm fine with that, too.

Sudden pain that befalls me when I least expect it...

Now that I've discovered the allure of that, I can't go back.

The more he explains, the more concerned I am...

Then why'd you keep running away from us?

Wouldn't the unexpected factor be greater if we didn't know each other?

Don't make it sound so obvious.

Well, I think there'll be pain I can savor now that

we've gotten to know each other, too.

So, yeah. Pleased to meet you.

Especially...

Huh?

Pleased to meet you.

R-Right...

I smell danger.

On top of being a masochist, does this dude like guys, too?

I told you, it's not psychological.

It'd be no different if I was connected to something that wasn't human.

I wonder what kind of pleasure I could feel if I were connected to farm-raised tuna...

H-He sure is different...

So frustrating..

Nico's... Nico's...

Nico's a weirdo, too!

Don't fight over that title.

I wonder how they're choosing...

The Kiznaivers.

Didn't they say that they were trying to get lots

of different people together to see if they

could become friends or not?

You actually believe that?

Anyway, with someone like that in the group, we're doomed.

Yeah, I doubt just waiting for summer to end will be a possibility.

We'll have to have a proper talk with Sonozaki-san.

Yay!

We'll have even more friends!

Friends?

Who are you calling friends?

Huh? A-All of us?

We were just forced together by this bond.

That's all, isn't it?

That's not being friends.

B-But you know...

We chatted at his house,

and even went to a department store together.

Your standards for friendship are too low.

Would it not be more appropriate to call us casual acquaintances?

You really do have a terrible personality.

What's the problem?

There's no harm in calling her a friend. It doesn't cost anything.

There's nothing more expensive than something free.

Well, we did get to know each other,

and that Hisomu Yoshiharu...

What do you think about him?

He's pretty handsome. Is he your type?

Those who have a complex about appearances

mistakenly think that every person's worth

is measured solely on their looks.

Yeah, you're correct.

I couldn't care less about someone's personality.

That's why you caught my eye, too, Honoka-chan.

Huh?

Judging by your appearance, you rank pretty high, Honoka-chan.

Above all, your boobs are huge.

I think yours were even bigger than mine in grade school...

Your boobs.

Yup.

Your personality definitely sucks.

You're not going to help out, Tenga-kun?

In a sec, after I'm done watching this.

Jeez...

I wonder why you were the only one that was different.

Hm?

Oh, I mean...

The rest of us were brought together all at once.

That day, I was at that hospital, too.

Huh?

We probably got the surgery at the same time.

But the reason I'm slightly different is...

Prescriptions

Hisomu-san?

Hisomu Yoshiharu-san?

What do you wish for?

A compress, and some ointment...

I don't mean something temporary, but what you instinctively want.

Stimulation.

If I changed the wording to "the feeling of being alive," is that still valid?

Either way, I would be able to give you that.

Prescription

Hisomu Yoshiharu Kiznaiver

"Bond"?

Please take care.

The feeling of being alive?

So you're that curious about Sonozaki-san.

You're not, Chidori?

Even in the situation we're in...

And I was wondering why Sonozaki-san doesn't stay with us.

It's because she wants to check everything we do!

But...

Everyone wants to connect

with someone else.

And yet... Sonozaki-san...

Huh? I can't hear you!

No... It's nothing.

Oh?

What?

Whatever!

What?

Oh, I was just thinking how dangerous it'd be

if you happened to hit Katsuhira-kun's face with that mug because

you went mad with jealousy.

Like I'd ever do that! And I'm not the least bit jealous!

A Few Days Later

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Closing Ceremony

Look at all your faces shining with excitement.

THE Summer Break Schedule!!! Supplementary classes are your own responsibility Summer term training Day to come to school: Aug.

2nd Term 9/1~ No debuting in summer! Don't get dehydrated!!! Make sure you drink water

It is the summer break you've been waiting for, after all.

Stuff like illicit love affairs, illicit love affairs,

and illicit love affairs being one thing you'd better not have!

Though if you do have one, make sure you take a video and submit it.

Pervert.

Yamada would totally do something awful with it.

Yuta, what do you want to do over summer break?

I might actually be pretty busy.

You never want to hang out anymore.

Hey, are you sure Tenga has nothing to do with this?

We're worried about you.

I mean, I think about you all the time, Yuta...

Oh, Hisomu Yoshiharu.

No way! He's so intense!

He's way too hot! Hey, let's take a picture!

Oh...

Um...

Why did you suddenly decide to come?

Hisomu

"Why?" Am I not allowed to come to school?

You...

It's just that it's super surprising,

when you do that suddenly.

So you've got to tell us beforehand

when you're going to do something surprising like that.

Right?

Well...

And so...

Idea!

Exchanging email addresses, huh?

Come to think of it, we didn't know each others' contact information.

You wouldn't exchange email addresses with

a casual acquaintance, would you?

Oh?

Oh, yeah. Those guys!
