Girls Bravo (GIRLSブラボー)

Well, hello there again.

We've never been introduced.

What's your name?

And what's your favorite food?

But most important of all, where do I find you?

Okay, see ya later!

Yeah!

Bye!

Wanna hang out?

The cafe is supposed to be good.

Yukinari Saski.

Hey! Jus-Just leave me alone, okay?

As if!

Like either one of us would ever come within 10 feet

of a puny little dork like you.

Anyhow, we have some important things

to do after school today.

Thanks for swapping clean up shifts with us.

But, I didn't--

--Huh? --Does the puny little dork

have a problem with that?

No, of course not!

I'm more than happy to do it.

Yukinari Sasaki!

Just look at this board.

The top is a mess.

But I'm not tall enough

to reach the top of the chalkboard.

An underdeveloped physique is no excuse.

Just do it again.

My name is Yukinari Sasaki.

I know I look pretty young,

but I'm a sophomore at Mizuno high school.

I was born on March 31st, so I'm an Aries.

Type A blood.

My main hobby's fishing.

No special skills; and yeah, I'm short.

But aside from my baby face,

I figured I looked like any other boy down the street.

Or so I thought.

But since I'm so short,

girls have bullied me ever since I was little.

Well, littler...

Over time, I developed such a strong fear of girls

that I'd break out into a rash whenever one came near!

Now it's a fullblown allergic reaction.

With all the teasing I get from the girls at school,

home's the only place I get any peace.

My mom moved away with my dad when he got transferred.

Now it's just me.

Once you get used to being alone, it's not so bad.

If only...

...that girl next door would stop coming by!

That's Kirie Kojima.

Born on August 3rd. She's got a temper.

Type B blood, probably.

She has big eyes like a cat,

and her breasts are the size of large pork buns.

We're in the same grade at school

and we grew up together.

Wha-What? Um, Kirie?

How come you're in my bathroom?

The bathtub in my place is broken, remember?

I came by for a bath yesterday at this exact same time!

Oh yeah!

Wait, I'm sorry, I just forgot!

I've always known you were short and clumsy and slow,

but I didn't realize there was something

wrong with your brain, too.

You're nothing more than a useless

good-for-nothing boy!

Just 'cause you can't get girls to like you

doesn't mean you can be a peeping tom!

But--But I... really wasn't trying to peep. Honest!

Besides, with me being so afraid of girls--

why on earth would I want

to look at you when you're naked?

What... What do you mean by that?

So you think I'm unattractive?

Is that what you're getting at?

No! That isn't what I meant! Really!

Oh, I get it now.

You don't even want to see me naked.

Not even for a peep!

No! It's not like that!

-- It's-- -- I see.

You just don't care about me at all.

Do you?

Even after all those times I looked out for you

when people started calling you a puny little dork!

Bu-But hold on!

Kirie, what are you saying?

-- Yukinari... -- Kirie...?

You jerk!

-- Hiyah! --

Kirie... I can see everything.

I'm not letting you off that easy; not today!

And another thing-- oh...

Yukinari?

Why?

Why are all the girls I know so rough?

Why are they so mean to me?

Isn't there just one kind girl out there?

One who would treat me nicely?

Somewhere...

Ow! Kirie sure kicks hard.

-- What? -- Oh...

I'm sorry!

Wait a sec...

This isn't the bathroom in my house.

Finally!

-- I finally meet you! --

-- Wait! -- No, you can't!

There's so many questions I've been wanting to ask!

I have this thing about girls...

What's your name?

Tell me about where you live!

How's your family?

What's your favorite food?

Please! I really want to know.

At least tell me what your favorite kind of food is.

Let me go!

When a girl touches me... Oh, no!

It's coming! It's coming!

Um...

Are you okay?

Hmm...

What should I do?

Are you feeling better?

-- Who-- -- How do you do?

Miharu Sena Kanaka.

Please, call me Miharu!

Miharu, right?

Yes! So, what's your name?

Yukinari Sasaki.

Yukinooki Sazooki?

Sasakeeki Yukicooki?

You can just call me Yukinari.

Yu-ki-na-ri.

Yukinari!

Wait! My rash isn't coming out.

Why is that?

Okay...

I had just gotten home...

I was heading to the bathroom to take a shower...

Then Kirie kicked me in the head with her knee and I fell back...

D'oh! Arrg!

Um, you don't look like you're feeling very good right now.

I know! Would eating something make you feel better?

I tried to make a lot of different things.

See?!

Oh...

It's really good.

The togebira is a delicacy on Seiren.

Seiren?

Yes!

The togebira paella!

Of all the things I make, it's the best!

You're telling me this isn't Japan?

Is that your favorite type of food? Japan?

I've never heard of it...

Yeah, I've never heard of Japan either.

But I bet that it's really tasty.

Wait.

There's no rational explanation for this.

So I could be anywhere!

The name makes me think of something

with hot red bean paste on the inside.

It sounds like Japan might have a sour taste.

I might not even be on earth.

Yukinari! Are you telling me you came here from earth?!

Uh... yeah, I guess. You've heard of it?

Yes! Who hasn't?

Say hello, Yukinari!

To the blue forest metropolis...

Seiren.

So... this is it.

Earth's up there!

So close and yet so far.

It looks like you can reach up and touch it but noone ever has.

Beautiful, huh?

Huh?

This really sucks!

Hmm?

I'm relieved.
