Yukishiro- Yukishiro Nanako, can you come up and solve it?

Ah, that’s right. Sorry. Sorry.

You can write the answer on paper,
so show it once you’re done.

You should’ve spoke up 5 problems ago then!!

Literature Club Member: Yukishiro Nanako (15)
She is a girl that communicates in haiku.

Nanako-chan, why do you write things out?
‘Cause I have trouble // organizing all my thoughts // when I try to speak. // - Nanako

I guess it can be easier to sort things out when there are some restrictions. #PR: restrictions/rules
< Nod >
Then what do you say when you want to go to the bathroom?
< Grip~~~ >
Ah, right. Right.
She use plenty of body language too.

There’s an option to only add more meat too.
< Blah Blah Blah >
How about the egg? Want the beni shoga* on the side too?
You can have extra sauce too.
[*TL NOTE] beni shoga = thin strips of ginger pickled in umezu.

< DASH >
Umm… just regular for her please.

[TOP-LEFT] In guys’ eyes
{ It all worked out. }

Yukishiro’s so cute…
She’s nice and calm.
I wonder if she has a boyfriend…
Maybe I should try talking to her….

< Poke Poke >
Mmm? What’s up?

I just remembered // that I do not like eating // things that have onions // - Nanako
{ Geez }
Want to trade with my omurice?
That slightly clueless part of her is nice too.
…..slightly?

< GRIP~~~~ >
{ OWWWW OWWWW }
Ah! I made a good one based on that so listen:

My little sister // super-duper-hyper cute // unbelievable! // - Eiji
How is it?
“Unbelievable” at the end is a nice touch, right?

Ohh, I knew you’d understand, Nanako!!
Nanako-san loves Busujima-kun’s haikus.

[TOP-RIGHT] Encounter
During middle school,
Busujima-kun used to be feared by the delinquents as the “Demon of West Middle School”

So strong…. So this is the demon of the west….
Who is a demon!!
You are the one that picked a fight on me!!

I told you, I’m tired of fighting!!
“Shut away your fist. // By exchanging smiles instead, // you can spread the joy”!!
…...Hmmm?

Didn’t that sound super cool?
It had a nice rhythm to it too.
< Bu-dump Bu-dump >
Busujima-kun meets haiku.

[TOP-LEFT] Absolutely No
Busujima-kun, are you really quitting?!
Yeah, I hung around out of habit,
but I finally found something I truly enjoy.

Something you truly enjoy?
Yeah.
I never felt this good in my life.

I can’t help it. I’ve been throwing up* everywhere these days.
[BOX] <Fun Fact> Act of making Haikus is sometimes described as “throwing up (Haku - 吐く)”

…...Busujima-kun, are you doings drugs?
[BOX] <Fun Fact> Vomiting is a common symptom of a drug addict.

[TOP-RIGHT] Looks
How I became a delinquent?
People like to pick fights on me ever since I was a kid.
They all say “What’re you looking at!!”

These eyes were like this ever since I was born. It’s pretty sad.
{ How are you doing? }
There’s nothing I can do about it.

How about you try, // softening up your poor face // with a nice big smile // - Nanako

[TOP-LEFT] First Impression
Ah! Nanako, heading to the club?
Good luck!

Must be Nanako’s old friend… I better say hi….
First impression is important… smile smile smile….

…..Very nice to meet you.
< NI HEE HEEEEE >
I am Nanako’s friend, Busujima.

He…

Worst first impression ever.


[Page 011]
[TOP-RIGHT] What do you want to eat?
Oh, it’s a message from the president.
< PIRONG >
Sorry, stuff came up, so today’s club is canceled!
Club’s canceled today.

What should we do? Wanna go eat somewhere?
Any suggestions?
Something cool and chill, // something that is refreshing, // something that is nice // - Nanako

Then how about….
We drink water from fountain at the playground!

Just kidding~ I’m joking!
Wait, you’re okay with it?!
Your bar is way too low!

[TOP-LEFT] Grrrrr
Then let’s try the family restaurant!
< GRRR >

Hmm? Did you say something?
< Shake Shake >
