[bunniefuu]

Eyes on you! We are F/ACE!

Hewwo to all my E/YES out there!

It's me! Everyone's happy, pretty angel,

Natsuki Ishibashi!

So what're we doing on the show today?

Natsuki Ishibashi's

Counseling

Room

It's Natsuki's Counseling Room!

Natsuki's Counseling Room

And today's assistant angel is

Thanks for having me.

It's Ouri!

I look forward to helping you out today.

Natsuki Ishibashi's

Counseling

Room

Now, the E/YES that

need our help today is

First, a high schooler from Tokyo

named Ookmi Ookguchi-san.

High School Student

From Tokyo

Ookmi Ookguchi-san

Okay, cut!

You okay?

I'm so sorry about that. I'm okay.

Okay, let's continue.

Yes.

"I have a crush on someone,

but that person likes someone else.

Should I just go for broke?"

I think what you're feeling right now

is very precious, Ookmi-chan.

It might be fine to go for broke

and let it end there, too.

But if you don't want that,

maybe you don't actually have to break?

Of course, you can't just

not do anything, though.

Talk to them a lot

and make them notice you!

Do you have any advice to offer, Ouri?

Right

As Natsuki-kun said,

you need to not give up

and make sure this person notices you.

Hey!! It's just like sweeet magic!! Aha!

Hi, it's me!

The one with that k*ller smile!

Stealing your gaze with a shocking style!

Smooth as ever, I escort you

And this voice, seducing you

Ah, come on, let's dance;

I'm aiming straight for your heart

I am your ace darlin'

Confidence? Yeah, I've got plenty

Please Please

Whisper just to me, call my name

You're too popular,

it drives me crazy and I'm not okay

But I'm sorry, losing's not my thing

Hey, girl

Look this way!

I see your smile, smile, smile,

I wanna make it all mine

Crash, crash, crash,

our special connection shines

Dance, dance,

our world is non-stop groovin'

I'll show you my perfect

A-side, side, side

And my private B-side, side, side;

I'll show you everything

So take my hand and let's roll

Sweet Sweet Sweet magic!!

Sweetie honey Sweetie honey

Sweetie honey Sweetie honey

It's a spell that makes your heart race

We can't go back

You're falling in love with me, c'mon!

Sweetie honey

Sweet Sweet Sweet magic!!

Morning!

Asuka

As you all know, Tanaka-sensei is going on

parental leave, so for the time being,

Asuka Inoue

Yellow Spring

I'm being promoted

from assistant to class teacher.

For real?!

I'm Asuka Inoue.

Assu's gonna be our teacher!

I look forward to learning together.

I'm so happy!

Assu!

Call me "Sensei"!

Isn't this exciting?

Yup, yup.

Sometimes, he would talk

about Japanese history.

Inoue-sensei.

She's a new teacher who started

working at our school this year,

In this case, "sometimes"

is similar to "used to" and

and while she's usually nice

Takahashi-kun! You forgot your

homework again, didn't you?

You get early remedial classes

for a week from tomorrow.

What?! That's too harsh!

She's harsh towards slackers.

That's not harsh at all!

Thank goodness I did my homework.

If you don't want remedial classes,

then do your homework.

If I end up with remedial classes,

it'll affect my job.

Yes, ma'am

Okay, see you tomorrow!

Today's another day to work

so I can support my oshi.

Ah, Inoue-sensei?

That's

A mini towel that's exclusive

to F/ACE fan club members!

Whoops.

Kinoshita-san?

Same oshi?

Same oshi DNI??

Do we have the same oshi? Is she DNI?

Tamon Oshi

Red

I'm red.

Natsuki Oshi

Yellow

I'm yellow.

Natsuki!

Tamon-kun!

Man, I had no idea you were

one of the E/YES, Kinoshita-san.

Tamon-kun sure is popular.

I'm sorry I'm so basic.

No, I totally get it.

Everyone loves that face

even if they're not a Tamon stan.

So you're a Natsuki oshi, Sensei?

Yes, I am.

He's just so cute!

And he always says whatever's on his mind.

Food Report Time

This sorta sucks!

Thanks.

Though people call him a selfish brat

because of that, too.

But he's trying his best,

believe it or not.

Oh, I'm almost out of detergent,

so I should buy some.

Let's see, where is it

Ooh! The lip tints that

Natsuki-kun's producing.

Produced by Natsuki Ishibashi

Lip Tints

He's a great speaker,

and he's even making products.

He's so multi-talented.

I want one, but I don't know what to get.

I've never actually done my makeup,

Kinoshita-san?

Natsuki-kun?!

I knew it was you!

You were at the training camp.

Are you gonna buy that?

You've got a good eye!

Oh, this is

Hmm

Wait, what? He's so close!

And his eyes are huge!

Yellow spring.

Huh?

Just like me.

Peach would look great on you.

Oh, actually

Ta-dah! I actually have

some samples with me.

So let's try it on!

Huh? Wait.

We'll just put this on and

go a little overboard on the upper lip

Huh? What? Uh Um

and done!

Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle!

You look so cute!

I knew it'd look great on you!

You can keep that one,

so if you like it,

try out the other ones, too.

Bye, now!

Natsuki-kun's just like how he is on TV.

Thank goodness he's nice and friendly.

His sense of personal space

needs work, though.

I look forward to working

with you again today.

Good evening

Huh? Gloomyhara-san?!

I-I'm sorry. I was just surprised.

Was the lip tint weird?!

Right. No way a hardcore fan with zero sex

appeal would look good with makeup on.

He's avoiding me so hard.

What if he thinks I put on makeup

just to get his attention?!

Tamon-kun

Okay, yeah.

Marry me, please, please, please,

please, please, please, please

I'm disappointed in you.

please, please, please, please

I just told him that

I'm no more than his housekeeper.

I don't want him thinking I'm getting

my priorities mixed up after all!

Pardon me!

Please stay away from me!

I mean

maybe it's better he keeps his distance

rather than get awkwardly clingy.

Gloomyhara-san doesn't

understand the risks sometimes.

So I want to be something to you, too.

Please stop! Don't look at me!

You've got the wrong idea,

Gloomyhara-san!

I wasn't trying to get your attention

or anything with this lip tint!

I'm not trying to get you to like me,

but it hurts to have you dislike me

I realized that just now!

Th-There's no way

I could ever dislike you.

Your lips were so shiny

Huh?

You looked like a mature woman,

so I got nervous

You've made the heads of countless

mature women explode.

What are you even saying?

Um so the lip tint is weird, right?

What? It looks really good on you.

Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?!

Huh

Is this on purpose or

does he not even realize it?

Oh but I think I'm getting used to it.

I coincidentally ran into Natsuki-kun

at the drugstore earlier,

and he put this on me for some reason.

Natsuki-kun should be busy today, though.

Huh?

You might know this already,

but some of F/ACE's songs

are written by Natsuki-kun.

And tomorrow's the deadline

for a new song.

He was supposed to be holed up

in his apartment today.

Huh? But I just

Hey, have you seen Natsuki?

Keito-kun.

Earlier, outside.

Tch. Damn it. He ran away again.

Huh?

He skips out on rehearsals,

doesn't finish his work,

and doesn't pay people back!

He can't keep getting away with this!

You two look for him, too!

Find him and drag his a*s back here!

Y-Yes, sir!

Man, my head is killin' me.

I drank too much last night.

I don't wanna work.

Big winner!

We wandered around the city at night

trying to find Natsuki-kun.

Damn it.

Did you find him?!

He wasn't over here.

Tch

I found Natsuki-kun.

When we finally found him

Um

Who is this? More importantly

His room's so messy.

Enough is enough, Natsuki.

Huh?! Natsuki-kun?!

Tee-hee!

Sparkle!

When I met him at the drugstore,

I'm fairly certain his eyes

were at least twice as big!

Why the hell do I gotta

write the songs anyway?

We'd be better off gettin'

some pro to do it. This sucks.

Don't drink alcohol

when I'm trying to lecture you!

Shiraishi-san sees your talent—

She just doesn't have

the budget to oursource.

Shameless, I tell ya.

Just shut up and get to work!

Nope. I don't like you.

Is that how you talk to someone

who lent you money?!

Get to work, you stupid smoking addict!

I'm sorry you had to see that.

I'm honestly used to it.

So even Natsuki-kun did

have a B-side after all.

Natsuki-kun

He's just a slightly heavy smoker

who loves alcohol and pachinko.

He's not a bad person

I don't think. I'm sure of it.

Well, now I'm worried.

I'm sorry that you ended up getting

caught up in our group troubles again.

Please don't worry about it.

But is everything okay?

Since we got you involved,

I'll explain the situation.

This could happen again, after all.

Situation?

You see, we're getting our own

flagship show next year and

Keito-kun!

Awawawawawawawawawa

Kinoshita-san jumped for joy so hard

that she went through the ceiling!

Oh, no. what do I do?! What do I do?!

Were you hurt?

No, I'm fine.

Can I continue?

Yes.

Natsuki's supposed to write

the theme song for that show.

So we get to hear another

song Natsuki-kun wrote!

But Natsuki-kun isn't motivated at all.

Huh?

He usually never shows up when

we rehearse on our own either

But we've all been worried about

his total lack of motivation lately.

Our first flagship show

All the E/YES have been waiting for this,

so we want to do our best.

But with Natsuki-kun being

in the funk that he's in

Usually, such a big gap in drive

among members wouldn't be tolerated,

but he's always been hard to deal with.

Hey.

I need to use the john.

Tch. Fine.

H-He's naked!

My eyes!

Put on some damn clothes.

Hey, there ain't any A/C in that room.

Then go to the bathroom already!

Were you thinkin'

that my face looks different?

Ack!

No, I, um

If I go like this and

Ta-dah!

Wow.

So, yeah. It ain't no plastic surgery.

I just don't do it outside work

'cause it wears my eyes out.

Th-That's impressive.

I'mma go take that piss now.

Don't say "piss".

Natsuki-kun.

What?

Oh, um, it's nothing

Whatever.

Another problem with

F/ACE not getting along?

Tokyo Municipal Hanagatani High School

Okay, here's the big announcement!

The lottery results for what Class 2-A

will do at the cultural fair is

Cultural Fair Project Application

Food Stall

a food stall!

Sweet!

Yay!

So today, we'd like to come up with

menu ideas and decide everyone's roles.

Let's all do the cooking!

Utage's really good at cooking.

Totally. Let's sign up

for the kitchen team.

Hey, hey!

Okay, we'll have you in charge

of the kitchen, Kinoshita-san.

Kinoshita will get it done.

Huh? Me?!

Let's do our best together.

She's too perfect!

I've never taken on a

leadership position in my life.

Is this going to work?

Before I met Tamon-kun,

I was just living the plain life.

But since I've been chosen,

I need to do my best.

Because I'm the leader!

Hey, Kinoshita-san!

You seemed a bit down.

Inoue-sensei

Their new official group shot didn't

capture Natsuki's good looks at all,

so I'm devastated.

I was just wondering what to do for

the food stall at the cultural festival.

Ah, I see. Hm

Oh! This is totally cliché,

but how about takoyaki?

That's a great idea.

I'm gonna jot that down.

Actually, my family runs a takoyaki place.

Our best seller was the cheese yaki.

We put cheese in instead of octopus.

Huh?

Is that even takoyaki anymore?

Though it sounds delicious.

My parents put it on the menu

for a friend of mine who was broke.

But in the end, all the students

in the neighborhood loved it.

It's cheap to make, and cheese

does go with everything.

Yeah, so I definitely recommend it.

Don't half-a*s this.

You're never motivated, so if you lose

your talent, what are you left with?

If you don't want to bring down

F/ACE's value, rewrite this song.

What?

I'm sorry I got in your line of sight

without permission.

But is everything okay?

Oh, you mean about the new show?

In the end, if I'm not

able to write the song,

I'm sure they'll just hire someone else

or just use one of our old songs.

Huh?

Our show ain't goin' down

just because of this, so don't worry.

That's not it

I'm worried about you, Natsuki-kun.

Usually, you can do it all.

You've never had such a hard time

with anything like this before.

It's nothin'.

I'm just not in the mood.

You know what the show's

gonna be about, don't ya?

Youth! Challenges!

Movin' people to tears!

Honestly, I don't like any of that stuff.

I understand that a little.

You know

I thought you only ever cared

about yourself, but

I guess you're payin' attention after all.

Also, you've changed a bit recently.

Did somethin' change with yer mindset?

My mindset?

If there is something

It might be because of a certain someone.

Uh-huh

Tamon

I'm so sorry!

I'm not here for me, but I started

rambling about myself!

I'm not sure why, but I sorta feel

a bit more motivated now.

Huh?

Thanks for carin' 'bout me.

I'll give it a shot.

So, yes

Apparently, he'll give it a shot.

Really? That's great!

Kinoshita-san.

Yes?

About what you said the other day

About how it'd hurt if I disliked you

What exactly did you mean by that?

It's exactly how it sounds!

Nobody wants to be disliked

or be seen as a disappointment!

It's just general human nature!

Oh, look at the time!

I'm going to clean the bathtub!

In truth It's not just

general human nature.

Back then, I didn't just want

Gloomyhara-san to not hate me

I actually wanted him

to genuinely like me.

That's a very dangerous train of thought!

I must k*ll it before it takes root!

Kinoshita-saaaaaaaaah!

I-I'm so sorry! How could I do this

to a national treasure?!

Don't change the subject.

I know what I heard.

Wh-What could you

possibly be talking about?

Say that line again.

My ear! Oh my god, my ear!

I am meant to revere you, Tamon-kun!

I can never blaspheme you

with my true thoughts again!

That goes against my dignity!

I'd rather bite my tongue and die

than say something like that again.

It's embarrassing just remembering it,

so please stop.

Well, it made me really happy.

You finally let go of your reasoning

and told me how you really feel.

And that's exactly why I shouldn't!

I want to hear it again.

A-As I said, I'd rather

bite my tongue and die

than say something like that again!

Then, Kinoshita-san

This is

Did you say something like that

just to play with my heart?

His dark side?!

I'd like to hear that again.

Or

Can you not die

for a piece of trash like me?

Utage Kinoshita. Dead at six.

Utage

Kinoshita

Dead at

What?!

Natsuki disappeared again?!

Find him immediately and bring him back!

Yum!

Everyone loves mochi and cheese!

We've gotta thank Assu.

She even lent us a takoyaki maker.

I don't really understand myself.

And gave us recipe advice.

I just want Tamon to live

a healthy and happy life.

I was just content with

cheering him on from the shadows.

But there's something else inside me

now that wasn't there before.

Let's let Assu try them out, too.

Right, Utage?

That's for sure.

Hello? Utage?

That's for sure, but

Are you listening?

Stop fantasizing while you're eating!

I'm listening! I'm totally listening!

Sensei, right? I'll go get her!

Damn it! Come back here!

Huh?

Give yourself up, you creeper!

Sensei! Are you okay?!

Kinoshita-san! Could you call 110?

Hey, wait a sec! Listen to me!

I captured him without thinking.

So OP.

Wait, damn it!

It's me, Asuka!

Natsuki?!

What's going on?!

Did he just call her "Asuka"?!

Um Do you two know each other?

Yeah, sorta

No, we don't.

Huh?!

I've never seen this unfamiliar

person ever in my life.

Uh, all of Gen Z knows about F/ACE.

Nope, never heard of them.

I dropped my smartphone

into a lake ten years ago.

Even if this is

the first time they've met

At least put some effort into those lies.

Isn't Sensei Natsuki-kun's fan?

Welp, gotta get back to work.

Anyway, Kinoshita-san, I'mma head back.

Huh?!

Try a little harder!

Sure you wanna be a teacher who leaves

her student with a supposed creeper?!

Come on, Asuka!

So you two know each other right?

That's one way to put it.

She's my ex-girlfriend.

Ex-girlfriend?

Ex-girlfriend

Ex-girlfriend

Ex-girlfriend?!

Uh huh

Na na na

Uh huh

I wonder what the world

would look like without you

When I look back,

you've always been by my side

Teaching me what "warmth"

and "happiness" feel like

A speedboat sails across the endless skies

An unwavering course,

a straight shot down the middle

An unbreakable red balloon

found nowhere else

Is this "fate"? Or just a "coincidence"?

Like a wilted flower coming back to life

A light that shines

Through the impossibly dark night

(Light of your soul)

I wanted to grasp it

(I love you so)

So I strived for it

Wanna keep going, wanna keep growing

Bringing our flowers and dreams

into full bloom
