Hana-Kimi (花ざかりの君たちへ)

Ashiya?

Oh, sorry. Did I wake you up?

You can't sleep?

No, I just had this kind of scary dream.

Then want to sleep with me?

What? U-Uh, Sano...

Um?!

Just get in already.

My bed's getting cold.

Why the hell are your feet so cold?

His feet...

His feet are so toasty!

Er, S-Sano...

I think I'm just gonna sleep alone—

Stop yapping.

There's not a lot of room.

Is that the problem here?!

If you sleep like this...

I'm sure you won't have any more... scary dreams...

Wait, he was still half asleep?!

I might not have any scary dreams,

but I can't sleep like this!

Whatever!

Gotta take what I can get!

I can hear his heartbeat...

It's so reassuring.

Good morning!

It's a new day!

Oh, right! We have the early shift this morning!

Wh-Wh-Wha?!

Why the hell are you two sharing a bed?!

I had a scary dream, so I ended up sleeping with Sano.

I'll get ready real quick.

Oh, he wandered into my bed again while sleep-drunk, huh?

O-Okay, I'm just gonna wait outside.

Yeah, sorry!

A guy in his second year of high school sleeping with another guy

because he had a bad dream is not normal, right?

Yikes, Nakatsu. Your aura is the color of jealousy.

I Was the Same

Wow, look at all the people!

Outside visitors are allowed in today.

Oh, Kayashima, you're doing something independent too?

This individual is authorized to vend independently.

Kayashima Daiki

Yeah.

What's that?

This?

What do you do with that thing?

You want to know?

Here, a spirit photo.

I'll photograph your ancestors Low price

Well, it's a business profiting off my hobby.

Sekime and the others were all excited about girls from other schools,

but there sure are a lot of them.

So cute!

He looks like a real girl!

Thank you.

All eyes are on the dorm showdown, but the rankings remain unchanged!

Dorm 1 Dorm 2 Dorm 3

Still, it's neck and neck!

There's no room for mistakes.

Which team will be the one to take the win?

Oh, this is Nanba-senpai's class.

Mystery Show

Who really did it?!

Senpai!

This is for you.

Oh, thanks.

I can't believe the line!

Yeah, we've been lucky.

This was no suicide.

It's a murderer's trick.

Who are you?

I am Akechi Kojiro,

the great-grandson of the renowned detective Akechi Goro.

B-But what evidence do you have to say this was a murder?

You there, lovely lady. May I ask for your assistance?

Huh? Me?

The victim was practicing a dance with a partner in this very spot.

Just like this.

Would a dancer drink poisoned wine while practicing for tomorrow's competition?

Just like this?

Nakao-kun?!

Hey, what are you doing?

I was wondering where you were!

But I didn't get to see him at all yesterday.

I'm sorry!

Wait, wait.

Please let me take a picture with you! Just one!

Please!

Uh, sure, just one.

While you were gone, we used him to bring in customers,

but the girls are just fawning over him.

Must be nice.

Okay, now a twofie!

Huh?

Hey...

Hurry up and take it!

Ashiya?

What are you doing?

We're short-staffed, so get back to work already!

Thanks, Ashiya.

You're a lifesaver.

I didn't know how to get away from them.

Ashiya? What's wrong?

Nothing.

What's his problem?

Oh, it's Alice! How cute!

You'd never know you're a guy!

Hey, hey! What grade are you in?

Can I take your picture? Can I?

Why are girls so crazy about guys in girls' clothes?

To be more precise, hot guys in girls' clothing.

Be on your guard, you sweet thing.

The night always has you in its sights.

That voice...

Yikes, Himejima Masao!

What comforts this dweller of the night...

is your sweet blood.

I invite you to 3-B's haunted house, produced by Oscar M. Himejima.

Do come along.

Haunted House

Anyway, so sorry for poaching all of your customers!

Farewell!

Wh-What was that about?

Damn you, Masao!

Not only did you poach our customers,

but you also put your grubby mitts all over Mizuki!

Paging all beauty pageant contestants.

Please gather at the special stage.

Come on. That's our cue, Ashiya!

Gosh, it's one thing after another!

Damn you, Masao. I'm gonna beat yer ass.

I deliberately missed with the flower pot I dropped.

Good.

He's that first-year on the karate team.

And?

How did Ashiya Mizuki look after that?

I think the threat was received.

The hell?!

Listen here.

This year, Dorm 1 has to win the grand prize no matter what.

Um...

What?!

Er, it's nothing.

Hang on, that means the incident during the chicken fight was also...

You've got nice legs.

Go!

It was just a compliment.

Don't jump out of your skin.

I'll do what I want!

What do you think you're doing, you idiot?!

Kujo.

I heard everything.

From your little friends in Dorm 1!

Wait, huh?

There's nobody here.

Either way,

I don't care how dirty you guys play,

I'm not lettin' you lay a finger on Mizuki!

And don't you forget it!

Nakatsu, where the heck have you been?

It's showtime in five minutes!

Izumi!

What is it?

Mizuki's in danger.
