Yano-kun's Ordinary Days (矢野くんの普通の日々)

How adorable!

They've got her eyes, right?

Look at their long lashes!

They're even more adorable in person.

How about you come over to my place today?

Really?

You mean, come over to my place.

I'd love to meet then!

Yeah, come over!

Yay!

Yano-kun. Morning!

M-Morning.

Huh?

Hey, you're not injured anywhere today.

Yeah, my parents drove me to school today.

I see.

Oh, sorry.

What class do we have first period today?

What was it... Oh, it's Japanese.

Japanese? Okay, thanks.

It's been a few days since that karaoke outing.

He looks me in the eyes and talks to me like usual.

Or so I thought...

For some reason, it feels like there's a wall between us again.

Why do you think that is?

What?

Beats me...

LOVE

A scary story?

Sota-kun, you're so cute.

I'm not cute.

Your sister called you cute, too.

What?!

Sorry, Izumi-san.

My little brother's been going through a rebellious phase lately.

What? Really?

A rebellious phase... eh?

Um...

She's been like this all the time lately.

Darn you, Yano.

Sayaka-chan, come play with us.

I wanna play!

Yeah!

Hey, Kiyoko. Why don't you try imitating Izumi-chan?

Imitate?

Wow, impressive! You're amazing at games!

It's not a big deal. Anyone could do this.

That's not true.

I definitely can't do what you just did.

Sota, you must be so popular with the girls.

Wanna play?

There's another controller.

Really?

I don't know if I can pull off what you just did though.

See that? Your brother going through a rebellious phase

has already started to open up to Izumi-chan.

I can teach you, too.

Yeah! Teach me.

You're not that good.

Do I do this?

You do this...

I'll teach her.

Thanks!

Let's see.

I...

Should act like Izumi-san?

Yano-kun!

No way! That'll totally weird him out!

Okay...

What exactly did she picture in her mind?

MEANWHILE...

NAKAYOSHI AMIKA IN LOVE

SORRY, BUT COULD YOU PICK UP A COPY OF NAKAYOSHI FOR MIYU-CHAN? AND ALSO SOME PRE-SLICED CHEESE.

I'M REALLY TIRED...

MIYU-CHAN'S BEGGING YOU...

DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE CHEESE.

This is it, right?

Excuse me.

Hashiba-kun.

Yano.

Hey!

It's Hashiba!

Tanaka!

Hey it's Yano, too! But why?

Both of you.

Wait for me outside.

Homework's such a drag.

Don't feel like doing it.

I see.

The person you like is acting more distant than usual

and seems completely distracted even when you talk to him?

Yeah.

He said it's not because he started to hate me, so I believe him, but...

You know, I think that person likes you, Kiyoko-chan.

What?

And you're talking about Yano-kun too, right?

BLUSH!!

Sorry for making you wait.

Here you go.

But why?

Thanks, though!

Thanks.

I'll pay you back.

There's no need to pay me back!

So just...

By the way, you actually read stuff like that?

That's surprising.

Of course not.

What? That's yours?

Of course not!

Denied it twice.

My sister begged me, so I had to get it for her.

But people are gonna tease me for sure if they find out I bought this, right?

So that chicken is hush money!

Got it? Especially you, Tanaka!

Yup! Got it!

Thanks for the chicken!

See ya!

So, yeah. Yano, you too.

Don't tell anyone... especially Yoshida.

See ya.

Oh, wait a sec—

Ouch!

Hey, what happened?

Careful, that's hot!

Sorry.

Um, Hashiba-kun...

The other day, you told me that you liked Yoshida-san.

Huh?

What does that actually mean...

SUMMER LOVE

Love...

What?!

Hashiba-kun, you're in love with Yoshida-san, right?

What's it like being in love?

Why do I have to teach Yano about something like that?

Don't look at me with those pure eyes!

Then... why don't you try reading that?

It's probably mostly like that.

R-Read this?

But seriously.

How did we end up here?

Two sensitive teenage boys, reading shojo manga...

I'M GONNA CONFESS TO KAI-KUN!

Wait, what? Amika's finally confessing?

It didn't seem like that was happening last time.

Hashiba-kun.

What? What happened?

Did you cut your finger?

Have you experienced something like this, too?

I can't get him out of my head, and I can't sleep!

No.

YES

I mean, you... The fact that you're worrying about something like that...

Does that mean...

What? He likes me?

And wait, why do you think it's Yano-kun?

What? It's kinda obvious.

Especially since that karaoke outing.

Right?

Y-Yeah.

It's definitely love.

L-L-L-L-L...

No way it's love.

I'm perfectly content just knowing that he doesn't hate me.

She's... overcomplicating things.

Sorry! I didn't mean to trouble you.

But...

If that's the case, what should I do?

No way... Yano? Really?

But what if...

No, I can't read him at all.

This is killing me!

Hashiba-kun?

Never mind. It's nothing.

Hashiba let me borrow all 20 volumes of Amika in Love.

It was even more interesting than I imagined,

and I read it all over the weekend.

It was such a great story.

Morning, Yano-kun!

Yoshida... san?

Oh? You're uninjured today!

Impressive!

Hey, morning Mei-chan!

Mor—

"—chan"?!

Wait... Kiyoko...

Are you imitating Izumi—

Don't say anything, okay?

Okay.

Last Friday, I thought there was no way I could follow Mei's suggestion.

Why don't you imitate Izumi-chan?

I think Yano-kun likes Kiyoko-chan. Right, Mei-chan?

W-Well... I'm not sure about that guy.

But under normal circumstances, I think that's the case?

I got completely lost and confused.

For now, I've decided to give my best friend Mei's suggestion a try.

If I stay positive, maybe something will change!

But earlier, oh my gosh.

Our faces were so close!
