The male sacrifices himself during sexual intercourse,
whereupon the female feeds on him.
"Love" is---

my life-staking feelings for you!!
No matter
how often I repeat that scene,
I would always act the same.
For it is to....
protect you!

4 years go. Spring in their 6th grade. A "fated" meeting between a boy and a girl---
Hey!
Come out!
Ah!!
It's been a week! Have you been well!?
Good girl.
I'll give you the rest of my school lunch.

Page 06

Are you that hungry? // Must be hard for you.
..You know, I was bullied again.
Yoshida hit me.
And Itou took my money. // I'm so pathetic.
Hey...
But you're different from me...
You're all alone in this run-down church, but you live on so brightly.

Page 07

I also...
want to get stronger----!!
!
What's up?

Page 08

...What's with this notebook?
It wasn't here before...
!

Page 09

For the Wednesday person
Wednesday person...?
Nice to meet you! You're always feeding Sakura on Wednesday, aren't you?
I'll sometimes drop by to feed her!
Ah! By Sakura I mean the dog.
It's because she has a sakura pattern on her back (lol)
I'll come here on Wednesdays, because I have no cram school then.
Is this addressed to me...!?
I wonder if the owner abandoned her? I feel sorry for her.

Page 10

I would be happy if you were to write a reply on the next page.
I wonder who it is...?
The handwriting looks like a girl's one.
(llo, nice to me // still haven't given it a nam // Sakura-chan is really // I'll call her)
I wonder if I will get another reply...
I do hope so.

Page 11

That's how I started an exchange diary with an unknown girl.
It was the beginning of my fateful encounter with her.
*slurp*
Huh...?
...The same milk pack was at the church...
Does that mean the girl gave it to Sakura?

Page 12

Then...
the girl from the diary attends my school...?
Hey, hey, yesterday I want to the "Dog Cafe".
It was so good; I wanna eat them.
Does dog taste good?
You don't eat them! (Idiot!!)
Could it be Yamada-san...!?
Ah, but I'm sure // that Oohashi-san loves dogs.
She got lots of dog pattern stuff.
----As if she would
so conventionally be in the same class...
But I wonder who
the diary girl is.
If it were the class idol...

Page 13

Tsukishima-san...
---As if.
Taiyou-san, dinner is ready.
Thank you.
Yamada-san, where's my father?
He's busy with work and doesn't know when he'll be back.
...Same for me! I have no father and my mother comes home late from work, so I'm always alone.

Page 14

But I don't feel alone with the exchange diary anymore. // It makes me so happy.
Me too!
Ah! Of course it's fun with you too, Sakura.
Some day...
Some day I would like to meet her----!!
Seems a typhoon is coming tomorrow. I'm worried about Sakura.

Page 15

Will Sakura be okay?
Hah
Hah // Hah
!
S-
Someone's here...
Could it be
the diary girl....!?
Ah

Page 16

Ts-
Tsukishima-san.

Page 17

Asahina-kun...
To think that Tsukishima-san was really
the diary girl.
It's like a dream....

Page 18

Eh- // Ehm...
Ah....
I.. I see....
Her exchange diary partner turned out to be
me, a bullied kid, of all people.
Of course she's disappointed...

Page 19

No...
Stop, Sakura!
!!
Hey.
Let go, Sakura!!
Ah, right. // I have jerkys in my pockets.
I // brought some milk.
So the Wednesday person
was you, Asahina-kun.
Ah, // yeah...

Page 20

I knew.
Eh...?
I knew from the beginning. I saw you with Sakura. // I wanted to talk to you, but was too embarrassed...
So I left the diary there.
Sorry
for not saying anything.

Page 21

I also hoped you would be the girl from the diary!!
To think....
I'm glad.
To think such a thing would happen...!!

Page 22

From then now, every Wednesday after school
we two met here.
Here, Asahina-kun!
Ohh!
Agh
Ahaha, so lame!!
Kyaa
Ahahaha

Page 23

I wonder
what's this feeling is
that grows stronger with every day.
Hey, // Sakura-chan...!!
Huh?
Tsukishima-san...

Page 24

how did you get that bruise...
You hadn't had it before.
*rustle*
Don't worry. // I just bumped into something a bit.
...I see.
At that time I still didn't know.

Page 25

About the horrible things that were done to her body.
Or about the unforgivable
crime that I would commit later on.
I'm late...!
To just dump the cleaning on me and leave...
Geez.
I wonder if she's there yet.
*bark* x2

Page 26

Bark
Bark

Sakura!?
!
Hey...
Hey, Sakura!!
What's up!?
Sakura was acting weird.
She came from the church.
I.. I got a bad feeling...!!

Page 27

The door is closed...!!
!!
*clatter* x2
It's locked!!
It's okay.
A... A man's voice!? Someone's in there!?
No...
Stop.
---!!

Page 28

Let me go!
Tsukishima-san---!!
Your mom always tells you
No...
to get along with me.

Page 29

Who's that guy!?
What's he doing to Tsukishima-san!?
It's so hot. // Let's take some of your clothes.
No.
*BAM*
!?
... // What was that?
Is there
someone!?

Page 30

!
Come here...!
Are you okay, Tsukishima-san!?
Asahina-kun...

Page 31

Tsukishima-san,
who's that man!?
He's... // my mother's new lover...
But he peeps on my bathing // or comes into my bed.
Seems he followed me today
and was going to do weird stuff to me...

Page 32

Who's that kid?
Your friend from school?
Hitomi-chan, I told you that your mother would be sad
if you told others about me.

Page 33

Listen, you didn't see anything. // You didn't hear anything.
You're in 6th grade, so you should understand.
Uh...
Asahina-kun...
*Brrr*
!
Hello.
What's up?
That sounds terrible! // No worries, leave it to me.
Okay, see you.
Wh- What...?
Hitomi-chan, it was your mom.

Page 34

She suddenly got the night shift
and won't come home tonight.
Okay, let's go home.
No...
Let me go!
He'll be all alone with her until dawn...
Guh...
He'll do even more horrible stuff to----

Page 35

OHHHHH
Asahina-kun.
Tsukishima-san,
use this chance and run!
Hey, boy.
Aren't you misunderstanding something?

Page 36

*BITE*
----!!!!
Let go!!
Guh...
Please stop. I'll go with you...
So stop it!!
Fuck...
Unforgivable...

Page 37

Those who hurt Tsukishima-san---
....!
A- Asahina-kun...
I will never forgive....!!

Page 38

Damn brat.
Don't get cocky...
!!

Page 39

Page 40

Hah
Hah // Hah
---Eh!?
....
He's unconscious...
I... I
protected Tsukishima-san from him!!!

Page 41

Asahina-kun...
It's okay now. // It's okay.
Let's get out of here before he wakes up...!!
Yeah!!
*flow* x3

Page 42

Hey, Asahina-kun, where're we going?
To my aunt's house. // You can stay there for tonight.
Once that guy wakes up, he'll surely search for us.
...So we'll get some advice on what to do now.
If we should tell your mom about it. // Or if we should tell the police and have them arrest him....
I won't let him do anything strange to you anymore.
...Thanks.
Asahina-kun.

Page 43

It's okay.
I'll protect you!!

Page 44+45

[YESSS!!!!!]

Page 46

Ts-
Tsukishima-san...
...I
I...
always
thought I was all alone.
I see...
--She's the same as me..
My mother died after giving birth to me.
And my father treated me coldly as I was at fault for it....

Page 47

I was always lonely...
Please, Asahina-kun.
Don't let go of my hand // until you die.
I promise.
Whatever happens, I won't let go of her hand..!!
Terminal stop: Hannou.
Let's go!
!
Tsukishima Hitomi-chan, I guess?

Page 48

Th- The police...!?
!
Is it about that man? // He was....
So you know about it.
About the man
whose corpse we found.

Page 49

Autopsy is still ongoing, but it's most likely a strong impact to the back of the head. // Some kind of brain contusion.
Eh...?
We found the girl's lunch box besides the man.
No way...
...He just fell down...
Corpse he said.... People die so easily....?
...Then
I'm----
a murderer now----!?

Page 50

Okay, come with us!
She's shaking...
Stay away!!

Page 51

Tsukishima-san has nothing to do with it.
If you want someone, take me!!
What's with that kid...!?
Hey, hold him down!!
Tsukishima-san.
Asahina-kun.
Ah....

Page 52+53

No matter how much
the adults interfere---
No matter what the future
holds for us from now on----
UWAAA
I promise that I'll protect you---!!

Page 54

---It's been four years since then.
I'm finally attending a school normally again.
The death of that man that day was handled as legitimate self-defence and I wasn't punished.
But rumours spread and my father, who worried about public appearance,
send me over to relatives in Hokkaido.

Page 55

Even at a place where nobody knew about the indecent,
I was still plagued by guilt and never left the house.
But when I got an apology letter from the man's relatives,
I slowly, but surely starting to live a normal life again.
(You are not at fault. Please don't pain yourself. You are forgiven)
And this spring, I returned to Tokyo
and enrolled in Hakuou Academy.
!

Page 56

*flatter* x2
Oh my.
Sorry to take away your food.
Here, be more careful.
Have my finger instead.
Hey, Taiyou!
Gentle as ever, I see. // And you still can't get a girlfriend. (How weird)
Do you actually swing the other way?
(S- Stop it)
Tsukishima-san, are you alright?

Page 57

I haven't met her since then.
I don't really have any right to see, since I went away without keeping my promise.
But just for a glance,
I would like to see you.

Page 58

Hey, we're frigging lost.
No, it should be around here...
Let me eat the "Double Burger" already, damnit!
(I'm so hungry. Bastard!!)
!
A "moon" and...
an "eye"...?

Page 59

What's up, Taiyou? // Does that graffiti bother you?
Graffiti?
He means that scribbling.
I think it belongs to this store...
What store is it?
A club, isn't it?
...
Wanna go in? (For a bit)
Eh....!?
Sounds good. Let's go!
Wawah. Hey...!!
A moon and an eye...
(We're going in)
(Yeah, yeah)
Couldn't be---

Page 60

GYAHAHAHA
Insane!
Ah
Ah
Ah...
It's fight.
Kill that bastard.

Page 61

Wh- What's with this place!?
Th- This looks bad. Let's get out of here...!!
Here comes the Princess----!!!!
!!
Princess!? // What they mean princess!?
I guess they mean this club's "queen", a Miss Popular?
!! // It's definitely her!!

Page 62

She's frigging cute!! // Worthy being called "Princess"!
!!
Taiyou?
She's so sexy.
That mole near her mouth...

Page 63

---Don't tell me...!!
Ow
It can't be!?
Hey, what's with you!!
At that moment
the gears of fate turned

Page 64+65

Tsukishima-san, aren't you...?
(Taiyou and Hitomi meet.)
(Within the noise and immorality, their drama begins...!!)
with a quite ugly sound....
