Please Teacher! (おねがい☆ティーチャー)

My friend Matagu once told me

that the universe is expanding

and will continue to expand without stopping. Forever.

He said that the universe was alive.

But to me... the unvierse seems like

it stopped expanding a long time ago.

Like it's standing still. And when something stops,

I think that, in some way, that's what eternity is.

I mean, if it's like that,

I guess it feels more like a universe.

Ah!

Oh no! I must've had a standstill again.

Amazing! What is it?

Ah!

Kei: On that day, when we were

about to see the first glimpse of summer,

At that moment in time,

something that had been standing still inside me,

Started to move, ever so slowly.

Who are you?

Classmate: Kei...Kei!

What's wrong with you?

You just got to school and you're falling asleep!

Yeah, well, just lack of sleep.

Hm. From studying?

-Not really -Okay then, what were you doing?

Nothing really!

Oh! Matagu! You know, don't you?!

What?! -I told you!

Last night after I ate dinner, I went to the lake!

Yeah, how come?

Well, I have my reasons,

but that's really not that important, right now.

While I was there, a whirlpool formed

in the middle of the lake! And there was this weird

light that was glimmering all over the place, and-

Everyone, listen up! I got some big news!

Good morning everyone, I know I'm late...

You know, you're saying things out of order.

Ah come on, don't sweat the little things!

What you have to keep in mind is I got some really big news!

As far as Hyosuke's concerned,

everything's big news.

Now you know that's not true, right?

Can I ask you something? Are you really in high school?

I don't need to hear that from you, pipsqueak!

So, what is this big news you've got?

Oh it's going to knock your socks off

when you hear this!

Old Man Takahashi, who was in charge of our class, quit!

You're kidding? No it's really true!

Isn't that amazing?!

Hey, this really is big news!

But that's not it!

What's big is what I have to say after that!

You're not going to believe this!

Our new teacher is a woman!

She's some old hag, right?

No way! She's really young!

Is she pretty? So I hear!

Aw you haven't seen her yet!

It's just a rumor!

Wait a minute...don't you think

it's stange that our teacher would quit

without saying anything in the middle of the school year?

Who cares?! High school life is

going to be much better with a beautiful lady teacher

instead of an old man!

You're happy about this too, aren't you?

Come on, Kei! Say you're happy about it!

Alright! Alright!

Let go of me! It's almost time!

Alright! I guess we finally get to meet her!

Kei: There's no way something that amazing would happen.

Nothing ever changes.

Aw man, I'm going to do it again.

If I don't...

Woah!

I...well you see, I'm...

Ah! Oh boy...

What'd she say?

I'm...I, uh...uh...

Good morning everyone! My name is Miss Mizuho Kazami.

For the rest of the year,

I will be in charge of this class.

I'm sure that I won't meet your expectations because I'm a new

teacher, but I'm going to try my best!

Mizuho: And I want to work in

a friendly manner with each and every one of you!

Did I...did I just say something wrong?

Wow! Great! You're great!

Wow, look at her...

Okay, everyone, please quiet down!

Well now, the first subject

we're supposed to cover today is modern Japanese.

But I thought that this morning,

we could maybe just have a little Q & A session!

Yeah, way to go teacher!

Way to go, Miss Kazami!

A new teacher...

Oh man, this is going to be the best!

I can see that boring school life is going to be

pretty rosy for the rest of the year!

Oh man, I love my life!

Did you see Miss Kazami? She's so damn sexy!

Ya know, I bet I get a nose bleed next time we have

swimming class! Yeah! In fact, I'm sure I will!

What am I going to do then, huh?

Mazuho Kazami's her name... Miss Kazami, huh? Wow.

Oh brother! The guys are all giddy!

Come on, it's not like we don't understand why!

Well, she's really pretty...

What do you think, Kei?

Uh, about what?

About our teacher, Miss Kazami!

Oh, well, she is pretty...

So I guess what they say is true.

All that the guys are interested in

are women with curves.

I wouldn't exactly put it that way...

-So clueless. -Yeah I think you're right.

Just look at Hyosuke.

Man, I can't take it! I seriously can't take it!

My life is just too good!

Oh, shut up, Hyosuke!

There's nothing wrong with you.

But you seem rather fatigued, so, don't over exert yourself.

Hm. Last night at the lake, I saw something. It was really-

Hey, Kei! I heard that a new teacher is in

charge of your class now! Is that true?!

Yeah, but how did you know?

In a small town like this,

information of that sort gets around fast.

How come I didn't know about it?

That's because you

don't gather enough information!

So how was she?! Was she real

good looking?! Tell me!

Yeah, pretty!

Alright, how pretty was she?

Um. Quite pretty!

Ah yes! I see!

She will be making family visits, right? I can't wait!

They don't have anything like that at our school.

Hm. That's too bad.

Hey! You're kinda frail! Why don't you use that

as s reason to get her over here?

You're asking the impossible.

Minoru: Now wait a minute, Kei. We're letting you bum a room.

So it's the least you can do for us, right?

Unless you want to seem ungrateful!

Oh brother. Somehow I just can't believe

that I'm really related by blood to that guy.

Oh well. That's how it is.

Nothing's really changed has it?

I just know that couldn't have been a dream.

Hm?

Hey, that's-

Oh, hello there! You're in my class, aren't you?

Yeah...I'm Kei Kusanagi.

Nice to meet you! I'm going to be living here starting today!

So I guess that means we're

going to be neighbors now, aren't we?

Best regards to you and your family!

Uh, thanks.

Alright then...

Wait a sec! Yes?

Would you like me to help you with your boxes?

Sure, thanks!

Looks like that's it!
