Okami-san and Her Seven Companions (オオカミさんと七人の仲間たち)

We're from the Otogi Bank.

Nowhere to run...

So just give it up.

Your days of stalking that scared girl end now.

'Cause if it happens again...

I have several pictures for the police and your parents; uh oh!

That's too bad, because she's mine!

Ringo, take a hike.

My pleasure.

You're just a girl!

A girl who kicked your ass!

That was splendid Ryoko.

I was able to capture the entire event.

Always so formal.

Ringo, did you see something?

No, what do you mean?

Nothing... It doesn't matter.

A long time ago in a faraway village...

Well, actually not that long ago and more of a suburb really...

There was a town called Otogibana City

whose jewel of a school in which the children did rule

was the Otogi Academy.

This angry girl is Ryoko Okami.

She's a first year student also known as Okamisan,

which means "the Wolf."

And the red haired classmate of Ryoko's is Ringo Akai

also known as Little Red Riding Hood.

Unfortunately, the flat-chested Wolf and Little Red Riding Twerp

are this story's eye candy... heroines.

The place they're headed

is the Otogi Academy Mutual Student Aid Association--

but most people around school know it as the Otogi Bank.

It's like a yearbook club but a little different.

Together, with some other freaky--

uhhh, unique?--special upperclassmen,

they have "activities" almost every single day.

Welcome back, ladies.

So... how was your assignment?

This is Lizst Kiriki...

He's the club's President...

...and she is the President's cousin, Alice Kiriki...

I appreciate that.

It is strange that he fought back, though...

Most students tend to give up as soon as they hear our name.

The pretty young maid is Otsuu Tsurugaya.

It still bothers me that our women

always have to do all the dirty work around here.

On that note, I've been thinking about adding another guy

to our little group to round things out.

What do you think?

Don't you think Taro is enough guy for all of us?

Well, yes but...

Taro, wait!

What you're hearing are the voices

of two first year students Taro and Otohime.

I'll leave what Otohime is trying

to do up to your imagination.

I swear...

See? Keep the antics of our other male member

in mind in case you find someone new.

After club activities are finished,

Okamisan usually trains at the local gym.

As you've seen,

Otogi Bank requests can be a little intense.

Ryoko... That's enough for today.

Kay...

I have to apologize...

With that chest this is actually Fan Disservice.

Okamisan... I love you!

That's weird...

Okamisan... I love you!

Is somebody here?

Okamisan... I love you!

Hey! How 'bout you go--!

Who... are you?

Uhh me...? I'm Ryoshi Morino.

I'm in your class.

Okay, whatever dude.

You don't remember him at all, do you Okamisan?

He really is in your class.

Please don't stare at me.

Oh great...

D'you wanna tell me what's wrong?

Ah, well...

Come on, spit it out already.

Okay... Here goes...

I love you.

That's sweet I guess but dating really is not my thing at all.

So, excuse me.

You can't just walk away like that...

I'm throwing my heart at your feet,

the least give me a chance to prove myself.

Okay fine!

Let go of me and I'll give you a chance.

So tell me, kid...

What exactly is it that you 'love' about me?

Well... you know... stuff...

Oh okay, I got it; I got it, chill...

Hold on... I love the strength you have...

I love your style... That you're dignified...

You're never afraid of anything...

You're kinda like a guy but hotter... really, it's your--

Never court a lady by calling her a hot guy.

Later on that evening...

...in the student dorm rooms.

Oh my goodness!

Did he really say he was in love with you?

This is the Wolf and Little Red's room...

They've lived together since middle school.

Well... yeah, I mean... he did his best...

I knew the day would finally come when someone

noticed how beautiful and adorable you are Ryoko!

So, who is it?

Tell me! Who? Who? Who is it?

He's a classmate... His name's Ryoshi Morino.

Ryoshi?

Important note here,

both these girls are in the same class with this guy...

For some reason they have no idea who he is.

Guess that's him...

So what does it say?

Someone's curious.

Nevermind! I don't need to know anything...

He does nothing for me.

I already like one thing about this guy...

He's the first boy intelligent enough

to fall in love with you at first sight,

but I shall be the judge of whether or not

he is worthy of my best friend's affections.

She sounds like my mother-in-law.

Whoa, no reason to go all psycho on me,

and besides, I completely shot him down on the spot.

You just leave this to me.

So... the next day...

Ryoshi Morino is a first year student in group F.

Everything about him, grades, height, weight,

is all the national average.

Socially, he doesn't mix with others

and he tends to stick to the sidelines.

It's not that he's isolated, though.

It's more like he vanishes from peoples' memories

because he doesn't stand out.

His talent for blending in without appearing

out of place seems to have been passed down

from a grandfather on one side of his family.

This stealth ability could be very useful...

Just think about how it could help

with our surveillance needs...!

So you see, that is why...

I've invited him to join us here!

Impressive.

Hah! Sounds like a bunch of malarky to me.

Stare...

Stare.

Stare!

Stare.

Stare!

Please stop staring at me!

His upbringing in a very small town

has given him a case of ophthalmophobia...

A fear of being stared at by others.

This grows more fascinating by the minute.

Scared of being looked at?

Doesn't that just make him worthless?

And that snaps him back every time.

Don't you get it, silly?

Even with this horrid fear of standing out...

He still told Ryoko he was in love with her.

Ringo, gah--talk much?

Stop looking at me!

True courage acts through the fear.

So when did the love overtake you

and compel this act of daring?

Well... it just happened last week.

Don't freak...

...but I secretly followed you around most of last week

trying to find the right moment.

But, I just couldn't bring myself to speak...

Oh, great... So he's a stalker.

...until yesterday

We've been looking to bring in another guy.

No objections, I trust?

Well that didn't take much thought.

That's that. What do you think?

Uh, yes sir!

If you'll have me, I mean...

He's just thinking about being near Okamisan...

Look at that smile!

I don't like it.

You're saying...

You were watching when I was attacked the other day?

Is that right?

That's right.

Okamisan, wait...

You chose to hide

when the one you say you love was in danger...

I would never trust a dude like that to watch my back.

I guess she's right about that...

Even when Okamisan was being attacked, I completely froze...

I kept my head down and stayed out of sight.
