Dream
Atsushi is running towards someone who looks like Maa-chan.
Atsushi: (Maa-chan! I came! I wanted to see you!)
Atsushi: (That's why I entered this school!)
Maa-chan: Face hidden. (Thank you. I am so happy.)
Masayoshi takes off Maa-chan mask and wraps his BIG tongue around Atsushi.
Masayoshi: Akkuuuun!!!
End Dream.
Atsushi's house.
Atsushi: AAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Atsushi: Just waking up. (The dream I saw this morning was the worst.) ......
Arrow points to Atsushi's hair. (Morning hair.)
Atsushi is outside with his dog, Daigorou.
Atsushi: (The nightmare will continue until - no, maybe even AFTER I graduate.)
Mom: Not seen Don't worry about Daigorou and get to school!
Astushi is being escorted by some boys from school.
Atsushi: (The cruel reality has trampled all over my dreams and my hopes.)
Boy: (Let's go! Hahahaha!!)
Atsushi: At this kind of school, people really do change, don't they?
(page)
Atsushi: Eyes closed, walking slowly.
(And my past memories are so nice, it hurts to think about them.)
Masayoshi: Not seen. HEY YOU!!! LOOK OUT!! You're gonna get hit!!!
Atsushi: Not listening. I hate my life. (lit.:The passage of time is hateful.)
Atsushi is hit and thrown a far distance once again.
Masayoshi: Oh.
Masayoshi: Gets out of the car. You Again?!
Atsushi: (This… This is the kind of person who I had admired so much??! )
Masayoshi: Don't you ever learn?
Atsushi: (How can this be my Maa-chan??!! )
(page)
Atsushi is lying face down as Masayoshi crouches over him.
Atsushi: (That's it. I'm thru. Everything is just a dream now.)
Masayoshi: Arisawa-chan??! Yoohoo!!
Masayoshi: Hello?!
Atsushi: (It was always just a dream…)
Masayoshi: Where did I hit you? Want me to give you a hug?
Atsushi: Getting up. I'm fine.
Masayoshi: Hugging / tickling. Atsushi.
How cold-hearted! Alice-chan, you're quite thin! Are you eating enough?
Note: Alice in Japanese is pronounced Arisu - this is a joke-nick name short for Arisawa.
Atushi: I'm Arisawa!! Please just leave me alone!!
(page)
Masayoshi: If there is something troubling you, please ask Dr. Maa-chan!
Masayoshi: Is it constipation? Hm?
Atsushi turns around to look at Masayoshi and begins to cry.
Masayoshi: (ah! You're gonna cry again?)
Masayoshi's head is struck by a briefcase.
Tooru: Yo, butthead!
Masayoshi: (ugh!)
Tooru: What? Teasing the students so early in the morning, huh? Geez!
Tooru: To Atsushi. Don't worry. He's always this idiotic.
Masayoshi: Tooru!! Why'd you have to do that?!
What if I become stupid?! What will you do then?!?! Jerk!
Tooru: Not listening to Masayoshi. Ah! You must be the one who was with Inagaki.
Atsushi: Bowing. Arisawa from the Freshman Class #5.
Tooru: I'm the homeroom teacher for Class#3. Mr. Hagiwara.
Atsushi: (Uuwaah! He's BIG!)
Tooru: I'll be in charge of math for Class #5. Nice to meet you.
Tooru: If this guy tries to do anything again, please come and tell me.
Masayoshi: What's that?! (Master!)
Masayoshi: The one who does perverted things to boys is Toor-
Masayoshi is elbowed in the head by Tooru.
Masayoshi then tries to put Tooru in a headlock, but just seems to wrap himself around him.
Tooru keeps trying to smile.
Tooru: Oh yeah. You're not with Inagaki this morning?
Atsushi: There's no reason for us to walk to school together…
Boy: WAIT!!! INAGAKI!!!
(page)
Kouji is riding on his bike as a BIG crowd of boys chase after him.
Boy1: Today also, we want you to join the Track and Field Club!!
Boy2: The Judo Club!!
Boy3: The Karate Club!!
Atsushi sees Kouji. Kouji sees Atsushi.
Kouji: Ah!
(page)
Kouji leaps into the air (with his bike!!)
Kouji: ATSUSHI!!!
Boys: WOAH!!!
Atsushi: WAAAHHH!!!
The bike screeches to a halt.
(page)
Atsushi: Eyes shut and clutching his school bag. WAH!!
Kouji lands right next to Atsushi while Tooru and Masayoshi move away.
Kouji puts an arm around Atsushi.
Atsushi: (eh?)
Kouji: Kisses Atsushi. Good Morning Atsushi! ^_^ <>Masayoshi: Sticking his tongue out. Ah! So young! Quite Different from "Master" over here!
Tooru: Shut up!
Atsushi: Blushing. (INAGAKI!!)
(page)
Sign: Freshman Class #5
Tooru: Okay. 3 more minutes.
Tooru: Don't forget to look over the half of the calculations that you already have written down.
Tooru: Pats a student on the shoulder. Come on, just try it.
Student: (It's impossible. It's all Greek to me!)
Tooru comes upon Atsushi who is staring out into space.
Tooru: Arisawa, are you all finished?
Atsushi: uwah! Y… Yes!
Tooru: Looking at the paper. Hmmmm..
Atsushi: Looking away. Ah! That was scary.
Tooru pulls out a marker to write on Atsushi's notebook. <>(page)
Tooru: A perfect answer. Well done.
Atsushi looks up at Tooru and hears a different voice in his thoughts…
Maa-chan: (Great, Akkun!)
Maa-chan is marking a notebook as Young Atsushi looks on.
We see a cute flower drawn on the note book.
Note: This flower with the spiral center (called "hanamaru")
is used by most Japanese teachers to mean "A+".
(page)
Maa-chan: Smiling. (Well done.)
End of thoughts.
Tooru: Alright! That's it.
Tooru: Please pass your notebooks forward.
Atsushi looks back at Tooru then at his notebook. There is the same flower.
Atsushi: (Even though they don't look alike at all,)
(page)
Atsushi: (Mr. Hagiwara and Maa-chan are very much the same.)
Tooru: Opens a notebook. (A blank page?!)
Atsushi: (They are very warm-hearted and kind.)
Atsushi thinks of Masayoshi, who is flipping him off and laughing.
Atsushi: (Not quite up to the expectations of my dreams…) (sigh)
Sign: Infirmary
Someone sneezes.
Note: In Japan, you sneeze if someone is talking about you.
Yuriko: Eww! Mr. Shibata, do you have a cold? Don't give it to me.
Yuriko: (Mr. Shibata, you should take some medicine too.)
Masayoshi: Passing a pill to Yuriko. A good guy was just being talked about, that's all.
(page)
Yuriko: Pops the pill. Anyways, you're losing to Kouji. Mr. Shibata.
Yuriko: He's quite popular among the Macho Men of Sports.
Masayoshi: Oh.. Inagaki, right? Aren't you going out with him, Yuriko?
Yuriko: I'm just camouflage.
Masayoshi: Another person is his favorite, huh? That kid! He is so shameless!
Yuriko: I heard that he made a promise to someone in elementary school.
Yuriko: Isn't it funny? He's a romantic guy!
Yuriko: When I heard that the other person is a boy, I was also surprised!
Masayoshi: And you don't mind this, Yuriko? (The occasional wife?)
Yuriko: It's gonna be fun!
Yuriko: Looking dreamily. If he is gay, then it will be like "a duck carrying green onions
to me"! It'll be so interesting!!
NOTE: "A duck carrying green onions to me" is a Japanese saying.
The meaning is happiness from someone else's stupidity.
Yuriko: Then, when it comes to the physical relationship,
I will make them confess everything!
Yuriko: Even if the world gives up on them, I will always believe in them!
Masayoshi: Hand on his head. I don't understand women.
(page)
Masayoshi: Look. If you're all finished then go! (Do you really have cramps?)
Yuriko: Aww.. But there is more..
Tooru comes in.
Tooru: Masayoshi! Where is my.. oops.
Yuriko: Leaving. Ah! Excuse me.
Tooru: Looks at Masayoshi. What's the matter?
Masayoshi: I'm just thinking about girls' minds.
Yuriko: Mr. Shibata!
Yuriko: Winks. If anything "happens" with Mr. Hagiwara, please tell me, okay!
Yuriko: You two might go well together! (It was a bit fishy the way he called you.)
She leaves.
Masayoshi: Hand covering his mouth. "GE!!" I don't feel too well. (I'm gonna throw up).
Tooru: What was that?!
We can still hear Yuriko laughing.
Tooru: Anyway. Hand over my lunch.
Masayoshi: Listen, Tooru…
(page)
Masayoshi: I don't like being the Lunch Delivery Service, okay!
Masayoshi: Since Maa-chan asked, there is nothing I can do about it.
Tooru: Okay. Okay. Just pour the tea already.
Tooru: Masami, Thank you for today's lunch!
Masayoshi: Maa-chan, Thanks!
Masayoshi: Grabs something from Tooru's lunch.
It's a bit too early for you to be eating Maa-chan's hand made lunches.
Tooru: Hey! Even though you have the same in your lunch. Don't take anything!
Masayoshi: Usually you get one more slice of tangerine, anyway.
Tooru: About to eat a slice of tangerine. This is a slice of Masami's love.
Tooru: (Ahhh!! This is happiness, Masayoshi.)
Masayoshi: You already said that, youngun.
Tooru: I'll say it again! For the sake of Masami, I will..
Masayoshi: Do anything?
Tooru: YES!!
(page)
Masayoshi: Then.. try and get Inagaki into the Kendou Club.
Masayoshi: If you can do that within a week,
Masayoshi: Then I accept you and Maa-chan living together.
Tooru: ………
Tooru: What are you plotting?
Masayoshi: Ah ah! Tooru's love loses to such a little bet? It was such a weak thing…
Masayoshi: Do you want to make Maa-chan say those lines, Tooru?
Tooru: (Stop copying Maa-chan!)
Tooru: It's in excellent shape. I'll take that bet!
(page)
Atsushi: Opens his book bag. hey?
Atsushi: (The photo isn't here!)
Atsushi: My lunch isn't here also…
Atsushi: Dumps everything out of his book bag.
(It's probably at home. I couldn't have dropped it at school?! )
The background goes black.
Atsushi: ( What should I do?!?! )
Kouji: Atsushi. ^_^
Kouji: Let's have lunch together!
Kouji: Today I got a big catch!
(page)
A view of the school building
Kouji: You lost a good luck charm?
Kouji: It's that important to you?
Kouji and Atushi are sitting on the roof of the school building
Atsushi: yup.
Kouji: ………
Kouji: Take it easy! Here! Have some Yakisoba and bread! Go ahead and eat!
Atsushi: Thanks, Inagaki.
Atsushi smiles and Inagaki's heart jumps.
(page)
Atsushi: Speaking of, Today, there aren't any of the Club Presidents bothering you.
Atsushi: If it is always like this, then it is nice and relaxing..
Kouji: Leans close to Atsushi's ear adn whispers. Atsushi...
Atsushi puts his hand up between them
Atsushi: You don't need to speak into my ear when you talk...
Kouji: Kisses Atsushi's hand. Do you like me?
Atsushi: Looks away. I... I don't hate you.
Atsushi: but I think your feelings are different from my definition of "like".
(page)
Kouji pushes Atsushi to the floor
Atsushi: WA- INAGAKI!! WAIT!
Kouji has Atsushi pinned
Kouji: It's okay if I just kiss you, right?
Atushi: Ina...
Atushi's hands are pressed down
Atsushi: Inagaki! Listen to what I said!!
Atsushi: Ow! Let go! You idiot!
Atsushi: I will end it! If you kiss me, I will end our friendship!
Kouji: (Oh! How cute!) I'm not being violent, so just go along for now..
Atsushi: No! No! No!
Atsushi: Help me, Maa-chan!
Tooru: Not seen. Hey!!! Inagaki! Are you there?!
(page)
Tooru is at the door lookin on as Kouji realizes he is caught.
Tooru: ah!
Kouji: hmph!
Atsushi punches Kouji in the nose and runs away.
Tooru: Coughs A... ahem.
Kouji: Holds his nose OOOWWWWW!!!!
Tooru: I understand your impatience but you guys are still only high school students.
Kouji: It's your fault anyways!
Kouji: Runs after Atsushi. Atsushi! Wait!
Tooru: Stops Kouji. Inagaki! Do.. Do you like Kendou?
(page)
Kouji: Looks nonchalantly at Tooru. I have other things I want to do
rather than club stuff. Things kinda like what you just saw! Sorry.
Tooru: He is way too nice. I envy him.
Kouji: Runs down the stairs Atsushi!
Atsushi runs down the stairs with his head down while Masayoshi is strolling the
hall whistling with his eyes closed. The run into each other.
Masayoshi: oops.
(page)
Masayoshi: Hey! It's dangerous to run in the hall..
Atsushi: I'm sorr-
Masayoshi: hm? Arisawa?
Atsushi: Looks up.ah.
Atsushi blushes and covers his mouth as he remembers his previous thoughts.
Atsushi: Help me, Maa-chan!
Masayoshi: Takes Atsushi's shoulder Do you have a fever? Your face is really red!
Atsushi: Tries to get away. It's nothing!
Masayoshi: It isn't just nothing.
(page)
Masayoshi puts his forehead against Atsushi's to check his temperature.
Atsushi: ( Who did i just ask for help?)
Masayoshi: Hmmmm... A little bit hot.
Atsushi: Heart beating ( The old Maa-chan or.. this person?)
Masayoshi: Why don't you go to the Infirmary and lie down a bit.
You're about to fall over any second now.
Atsushi: (And if I ask for help from this person, is that good?)
Masayoshi: Arisawa? Are you all right?
(page)
Atsushi: ( You've got to be kidding?!)
Atsushi breaks away from Masayoshi.
Atsushi: I'm fine. Sorry!
Masayoshi has his eyes closed and doesn't see Kouji sliding down the stair rail.
Masayoshi: I'd better hurry and give him back the photo so we can be friends. (sniff)
Kouji: Knocks over Masayoshi over. Ah!
Masayoshi: Listen! INAGAKI!!!
Kouji: Runs away. It's your fault for not watching where you go!
Kouji: Not seen. Wait! Atsushi! I won't do anything anymore!
Masayoshi: Slumps to the floor. So that's what its about...
Tooru: Not seen. Hey!
(page)
Tooru crouches over the fallen Masayoshi
Tooru: Why are you sleeping in a place like this?
Masayoshi: huh. I dislocated my shoulder.
Tooru steps back in fear.
Masayoshi: Walking away while relocating his shoulder. It's not like that.
Inagaki knocked me down.
Tooru: Uwaah! Stop it! Don't smile when you are relocating it!
Masayoshi: Giving the middle finger. This "debt" will be paid by your body, Inagaki-chan!
Tooru: Your words are not normal.

Kouji: Shocked Um!
Kouji: Please listen to my reasons.
Kouji: Makes a fist. My father..
Kouji: My father passed away, and now my mother who is on her sickbed and my little
brother and sister all must depend on just me.
(page)
Kouji: Looking serious.I will work really hard, so..
Masayoshi: Kouji Inagaki, Freshman in Class #3 at Jougaoka High. Your Homeroom teacher is
Mr. Tooru Hagiwara. Both of your parents are in good health, your household income is upper
middle class and you are an only child!
Kouji: Sweatdrop. huh?
Masayoshi: What do you want to buy? A car? hmmm...?
Masayoshi: Takes a whiff of his cigarette Or maybe a girl?
Masayoshi grabes Kouji by the collar
(page)
Masayoshi: Blows smoke into Kouji's face You can only ride a corvette or a woman
AFTER all the hair down there is grown, Inagaki!!
Kouji: Looking REALLY nervous Shi.. Shibata...
Masayoshi lets go of Kouji
Kouji: Excuse my intrusion. I shall be going now. Bye!
Masayoshi: Wait a minute!
Masayoshi takes Kouji by the collar again.
Kouji: I'm sorry! I won't do it again! (Yes! Yes, yes!?)
Masayoshi: I am not going to tell anyone at school about this, stupid.
Masayoshi: That depends, of course, on you..
Masayoshi: Grabs Kouji's chin It really hurt when you dislocated my shoulder..
Kouji: Wha- What are you getting at?

Masayoshi: Join my club at school. Of course, you can bring Arisawa with you.
Masayoshi: If you do that, then I will let you work here.
Kouji: Th.. Pushes Masayoshi's hands away.That's blackmail. Threatening a student!
Masayoshi: Lifting his hands up and away Don't get me wrong.
Masayoshi: I am the one and only "Boss" of Club Lush.
Masayoshi: This is a business, Inagaki-kun.
<>(page)
Kouji: Hysterical. I will expose this "Entertainment Business"
to the Principal and Super-Intendent!!
Masayoshi: Lights his cigarette. Both of them already know.
Kouji: This has nothing to do with Atsushi!
Masayoshi: The rules state at my school that the students must belong to a club AND
doing 2 or more jobs is out of the question!
Masayoshi leans back and shows Kouji a sign-up sheet for a club at school.
Masayoshi: If it is left like this, Alice-chan might be hurt.
Kouji is looking worried
Masayoshi: If he is taken hostage by some big macho guys, what would you do then?
Kouji visualizes what might happen: Atsushi is tied up with only his unbuttoned shirt
one. Some voices are speaking...
Voice 1: I wanna break him! Hehehehe..
Voice 2: Hahahaha... He is soo cute, Man!
Voice 3: Hehehehe... Akkun, Open wide!
Kouji: Hold his head AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! (My Atsushi will be-!)

Masayoshi: What?! Is that the only thing you have to say to me?!

Sound of someone walking with slippers
Masami: What? Is it from Tooru?
Masami: Who looks like Maa-chan! and has a towel over his head. Hand it over to me!

Masayoshi: Hugging Masami from behind Maa-chan, you're gonna catch a cold.
Get off the phone with that idiot quick.

Masami: Please! Shut up! Go away!
Masayoshi, looking sad and chibi, scuffles away.
Masami: Sorry about that. Okay. Tomorrow?
Masayoshi: Looks back at Masami and combs his hands through his hair hmph.
Masayoshi: It should be okay for me to bug them - at least for a while
Masayoshi thinks about Atsushi
Atsushi: (Did you forget about me?)
(page)
Atsushi: In Masayoshi's thoughts - cryingIf you're going to act
as if you forgot about me, then don't send me any letters!!
Masayoshi pulls a photo out of his back pocket.
It is the photo of Atsushi and Maa-chan
Masayoshi: (His first love.. That's what it was... Of course..)
Masayoshi: Looks back at Masami If it keeps going like this, it's not good.
Masami: on the phone Sunday? Okay. What time?
(page)
Masayoshi is lying on the floor with his eyes closed holding picture over his head.
Masami sits down near him
Masayoshi: (I'm not "Maa-chan"...)
Masami: Leans over Masayoshi holding his head What are you sulking-
like a little kid- about, Masayoshi?
Masami: Picks up the photo What's this?
Masayoshi: Wah! Wait a minute!!!
Masami: Moves backwards fast. You promised we wouldn't hide anything from each other.
Masayoshi: Sees that Masami is about to hit his head on the wall Maa-chan! Look out!
Masayoshi protects Masami, but hits his own head instead
(page)
Masami is on top of Masayoshi
Masami: I'm sorry. Are you okay? Masayoshi?!
Masayoshi: Nothing else matters except that you are okay...
Masami: Now looks at the photo This.
Masami: Comes up close to Masayoshi: Where did you pick this up?

Masayoshi: Brings Masami close to him Aaah! Smells nice!
Masami and Masayoshi are both chibi

Masayoshi: (Aaa.. This position is happiness!)
Masami: School?
(page)
Masami: Atsushi didn't really enter Jougaoka?!
Masami: Strange... I thought he was going to N school.
Masami: Well, if Atsushi was coming to Jougaoka, then maybe I should have stayed a little
longer at the infirmary.
Masami:He was crybaby, but obedient and cheerful. He was a very nice kid.
Masayoshi: Looking at Masami (Why... did he tell me? ... Your most loved person..)
Masami: Masayoshi?

Masayoshi is lying in the lap of Masami.
Masayoshi: Yes.. You will meet him.
Masayoshi: (My one and only brother...)
Masayoshi: (Beautiful, sweet, My dearest, dearest brother...)
Masayoshi: ... some day soon...
Masami lays his hand on Masayoshi's head.
Masayoshi: (My dearest brother has a guy like Tooru...)
Masami: Whispers to Masayoshi. "Maa-kun", you were so spoiled.
Masayoshi: (I am just like him (Atsushi).)
Masayoshi: Isn't it okay?
Masayoshi: Pictures Masami and him when they were young.
(One's first love isn't so easy to forget. My brother, Masami. My Maa-chan.)
Masami: Well, you shouldn't spoil him or else you'll regret it.
(page)
Masayoshi is leaning on Masami.
Masayoshi: (I am the one who knows the most about one's first love.) Say, Maa-chan..
Masami: Yes?
Masayoshi: Have you and Tooru... already..
Masayoshi: done it?...!!! WHAM! - Masami slams Masayoshi's head down.
Masami walks away.
Masayoshi: You don't have too be that angry??!!
Masayoshi: If you think he's about to do something to you, just scream really loud and run away!
Masayoshi: (I was just worried about you!)
Masami: You don't need to unnecessarily worry about such things!
(page)
Masami: Looks back at Masayoshi from the door way. Tooru would NEVER do anything that I wouldn't want to do.
Masami: BlushingYou better trust Tooru.
Masayoshi: On all fours and crying. (What was that? That "I-am-satisfied-but-I-am-not-telling-why" face?)
Masami: Really blushing with his hand over his face. Actually, I just want to kiss and cuddle.
( Tooru is a latebloomer anyways.)
Masayoshi: Head on the table and flippin' the bird (at Tooru),
(My sanctuary has ben torn apart by a full-grown bear!) Tooru! Someday I will kill you!

The School
Atsushi: Shocked The Cheerleading Squad?!
Atsushi: What is that? I've never heard of it before!!
Atsushi: Wait a minute, Inagaki! You wrote my name!!
Kouji: Smiling nervously. So-Sorry, Atsushi. I'll tell you later.
Kouji: Angry. Hey! What the hell is this squad-thing? It's not a club, is it?!
Masayoshi: Drinking coffee Just a way of counting heads, that's all.
Masayoshi: Ah! Tooru-chan! Remember about the "bet" we made?
Tooru: Pissed. Masami-san! I will never lose to this secondary being!!
Arrow pointing to Tooru: ( Mr. Late-bloomer Bear.)
