Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota (顔に出ない柏田さんと顔に出る太田君)

Kashiwada.

Let's catch a movie next Sunday.

He just up and asks her on a date?!

That's bold.

Huh?! It ain't like that!

Everyone's talking about this crazy movie where a buncha vengeful spirits attack.

And I know that Kashiwada's afraid of ghosts!

She is?

You're cooked this time!

Okay.

It is?!

Looks like you've resigned yourself to dying.

Is Kashiwada's expression finally going to change?

Sounds neat! Maybe I should tag along.

Don't.

I mean, how can you not be curious?!

Crap, there's Tabuchi. Let's clear out.

SUNDAY AT 10AM, COME TO THE FOUNTAIN AT OX PARK

KASHIWADA-SAN AND OOTA-KUN'S DATE

There she is.

Kashiwada!

Should we get going?

Listen up! This ain't a date.

Squeeze.

Wha—?!

You're acting embarrassed.

Am not! Quit playing around!

It's supposed to be a nutso movie that's mostly jump scares.

Even Kashiwada is bound to scream.

Not only that,

but I can wait for the right scene and gloop her hand with a piece of konyaku...

PLOP

Enjoy your poker face while it lasts!

It's nothing.

What the hell is it with this movie?!

The ghosts came outta nowhere, fast!

Just watch the screen.

Come on! It's getting good.

I didn't hear about any love scenes!

I-I didn't mean that I wanted you to see that...

LAUGHING

Watch the damn movie already!

It's time to pull out the konyaku.

But it's gone?! Did I drop it when I was spooked before?!

NOW SCREENING

I know, right?!

That was entertaining. You, specifically, Oota.

I didn't figure they'd go for the heartwarming stuff at the very end!

Here.

I'm not crying! Knock it off!

Dammit, let's just head back.

An arcade?

This is gonna work!

Dammit!

One more time!

Hell yeah!

HAPPY

What? You want a parfait next?

It's a limited-time item.

Chicks love that kinda stuff, huh?

IT TASTES FANTASTIC

How do you put all that away...?

It wasn't supposed to be like this.

She ended up in control the entire time.

EXHAUSTED FROM ALL THE FUN

Look at that couple! They're adorable!

They really are!

The boy's blushing!

He's so obvious!

I just wanna go home!

So, how'd it go?

Did the horror movie give her any jump scares?

I don't wanna talk about it.

Well, if you really wanna surprise her, I've got just the thing.

What is it?! Tell me!

Try holding her hand out of the blue.

Wha? Her hand?

He self-destructed.

That Kashiwada is a tough nut to crack.

EXTREMELY EMBARRASSED

KASHIWADA-SAN AND THE ABANDONED CAT

Kashiwada-san's been running off somewhere after school lately.

What now?

She's been sneaking around in the campus garden, fiddling with something.

I bet she's got some kinda crazy plot in the works!

Let's go check it out! I can get leverage out of this!

I doubt all the leverage in the world would give you an edge on her.

I am curious, though!

Kashiwada!

A cat?

They're so tiny! How cute.

Where'd the cat come from?

They seem attached to you, Kashiwada-san.

PLEASE ADOPT ME

I found them abandoned a while back.

I've been taking care of them here, in secret.

You couldn't take them home?

My dad doesn't like cats.

You must be hungry. I have some milk for you.

You actually bought formula made specially for kittens?

Wow!

I know how it looks, but maybe Kashiwada-san is really excited about this.

Can't be sure!

Do you want to pet them, Oota?

It's fine!

You looked like you wanted to, though.

If you insist! Fine.

What's their deal?

I've never seen them do that before.

Oota, they hate you!

Must see him as a threat.

That's hilarious!

Still, you won't be able to hide them out here forever.

It'll get dangerous at night.

Might be for the best to find an owner.

Well, I can't adopt them.

Neither can I!

What about you, Oota?

Oota's...

I've finally got my hands on her weakness!

KITTEN=WEAKNESS

Nah, my place is a no-go.

We're gonna have to find someone to adopt them.
