Happy Birthday Urakawa Minori-chan // From the Fans

Chapter 23: That's a fan

Page 03

Ah~~ That was great~~!
What an intense atmosphere!!
Naruko! Don't feel so happy! It wasn't your birthday!
Yes! It's all for Minori today.
We might really make it when the fans increase like this!
Yo, Minori! Nothing less from our center!
Huh? Minori?
Eh? Ah! Sorry!
Yeah! It was great!
...But...

Page 04

Okudaira-sensei
wasn't there...
It's time for high-touch. Get ready.
Ah, yes!
Thank you very much~~
Thank you very much~~

Page 05

He's really not here... I wonder what happened....?
I hope
the holy day will be a blast.
When he was looking forward to it so much...
Happy birthday! Today was a real blast! // I hope you become a regular!
T- Thank you!
But it's all thanks to that old man.
If not for him, I wouldn't be here today.
Eh?
Old man....?
You guys too? For us it's the same.
Me too.
For real!?
He had a ton of tickets.
Real fans sure are different.
I'm sure he's rich as shit.
Hey...
Explain that more....!!

Page 06+07

Okay!
Outside,
there's an old man giving out tickets // for free.

Page 08

!?
For free....!?
For a Santa he was rather slim and he wore glasses.
In wonder how much he spend? About 30 tickets a 10000 yen?
.....Minori!
Okudaira-sensei....!?
.....!!

Page 09

Ah! Minori!!
Why....
Why...!?
I hope the holy will be
a blast.
Just a
single
Riceball?
I'm saving up at the moment!
Why....
do you go so far for me...!?

Page 10

!?
Eh!? Ah!! Minori-chan!
How was the holy day?
Sorry, I had some urgent business and I couldn't come...!
I can't continue to
deceive him anymore....!!
Please... stop....

Page 11

Please stop already...
being my fan...
.....
Fufu...
I guess I'm not suited for being a teacher...
I finally noticed it at this age. Isn't that pathetic.

Page 12

Of course I was once motivated and took pride in being a teacher. // But not only didn't I have the leader ability to guide the students
but I also didn't have the ability to intrigue them.
I got sick of it all and thought about quitting.
That's when I saw a show in Akihabara.
There were girls, who were far from perfect,
dancing focussed and with all their might.

Page 13

During that there was an accident and a girl had to leave the stage due to an injury.
She surely must have sprained her leg, // but she returned onto the stage and danced without showing pain.
To the fans it was conveying the following:
My spirit
isn't broken yet....
I can't express how much courage these words gave me.
There's no replacement for you in this world. You're my hope.

Page 14

The time I'll stop being your fan is...
when you are AKB's Selection Center.

Page 15

That's a...
fan...
!!
....Girls.

Page 16

Let's go,
Center!!
Ah...
I can't even buy
canned coffee....

Page 17

!?
Y- You girls....!!

Page 18+19

Page 20

Eh!!?
What now. We can't get in together!
Let's call it quits. I didn't want to see it that bad anyway. (They're only trainees)
You there!
!?
Why don't you take
these tickets?
R- Really!? You're giving them to us?
Yeah. I suddenly got something else to do.

Page 21

With these
you can go in together.
Okay! Thank you!
Have fun!
Uhh~~
I might get hated by her
for not coming to her holy day...
But... // obviously it's better
that a lot of fans get in than me alone.

Page 22

Does this feeling reach you,
Minori-chan...

Page 23

There are fans because there's an idol. There's an idol because there are fans.
I don't understand anything about idols, seeing as I only realized this obvious fact now.
*sniff*
I danced for only the fans for the first time on this holy day.
Hey! Minori!
You need to smile!
The one being born on this day might not have been me, Urayama,

Page 24

but the idol----
I can't....!
Urakawa Minori---!!
