Huh? Did I fall asleep?
That thing yesterday was awesome!
I know, right? That one thing, right?
Right, right!
Wait, what? What's going on?
I've turned into a boy!

#09: Find Fuku-chan!
Finished!
Tsubasa-san, your hair is so pretty!
You have the shiniest cuticles!
Um, thanks.
It's gotta be that androgynous appeal of yours that makes you so popular.
Androgynous...
You know, "The Prince of the All-Girls' School" trope.
So handsome!
N-No! Tsubasa-san is a cute, pretty girl!
Miss Tsubasa must want to be a princess, too.
I know! I'll keep Miss Tsubasa as a girl
Greatest in the Galaxy
Wicked
Girly
Super Princess
and transform everyone else into boys.
You mean, you want to make Tsubasa a princess in a hot boy harem?
Not bad
All right! Let's make that dream come true!
Katsu!!
Katsu!
Swirl...
That's right.
Sekine-kun.
You should get changed, already.
U-Um...
Who are you?
What do you mean? I'm Chiyomaru.
Chiyomaru...?
Oh!
Chiyo-san!
It's Chiyomaru.
I just remembered something I gotta do!
Rikka! Where are you?!
Lucky Perv
Blank...
Lucky perv.
Um, Tsubasa?
It's meant to be a secret, but I'm here in place of my older brother, Tsuyoshi.
Keep the locker room clean.
So, please call me Tsuyoshi.
Huh, I see.
This is what it means to make Tsubasa a princess?
I have to admit, it's a bit interesting.
And I'm a guy...
I should take advantage of this opportunity to try things that only guys can do.
Tsuyoshi, I have a favor to ask.
What is it?
Please let me do it.
Nurse's Office
Did you have to hit me?
Sorry, but you share the blame here.
Oh, I'm bleeding. I knew it.
H-He's handsome!
You can make up for it by buying me lunch at the cafeteria later.
I guess we could kiss or something. I do feel sorry about hitting you.
Nah, I can always do that as a girl.
That aside, Sekine... You're going to be late for the Barfathon.
Barfathon? What's that?
Did I hit you in the wrong place?
Remember? Today's the day of the annual "Loincloth Walking Race."
A race where contestants walk, clad only in loincloths, all the way to Gunma Prefecture!
Due to the high number of people who throw up, it has the nickname "Barfathon."
Yes, this is a middle school event.
That's way too hardcore.
But given my injury, I should be able to opt out.
Sekine-kun, have you seen Rikkard-kun?
I'm right here!
The Colonel is still a girl?
Rikkard-kun...
Who is this handsome boy?
Rikka-chan!
Is it Chiyo...
san...
What is that outfit you're wearing?
How many times do I have to tell you?!
I hate guys who aren't manly!
What are these? Hair extensions?
Is this your real hair?
Ow, ow...
Tsuyoshi, the clippers.
Here.
Rikkard, I'm shaving your head.
I'd prefer you didn't—
Did I just hear something?
Nothing at all!
I see...
Maidenly Chiyo
Chiyo-san is very girly.
Tough Guy Chiyomaru
But as a boy, she's the opposite.
Tsubasa is...
somehow cuter.
Is it because of her princess position?
Tsuyoshi, what are you going to do about the Barfathon?
I'm opting out, of course. I can't do it for many reasons.
I see. I guess I'll opt out, as well.
What are you talking about?
You need a signed document from your legal guardian to opt out. You know that.
Huh
Huh?
We'll continue this after the Barfathon.
Hurry up and get ready. You don't want to be late.
Look! My head is busted open! There's so much blood!
You can't go home sick unless you have a fever or something.
What?!
Are you trying to commit truancy?
Never!
I'm cold! It hurts! I don't wanna do this anymore!
What kind of event is this?! It's ridiculous! Unbelievable!
Sekine-kun, did you just say something?
I love the Barfathon! Gung ho!
Sekine.
Just give up and accept it.
Not fair!
Let's follow Rikkard-kun's lead and do our best!
I'm glad I included "UFO travel counts as walking" in the brainwashing program.
One quick hop to Gunma!
Why did you include the Barfathon in the first place?!
Goal!
Goal, goal, goal, goal, goal!
It seems I've tried a little too hard.
The space alien wins!
Almost there!
Ugh, so tough... I'm spent...
Fight on, Sekine.
The goal is right there. Fight on!
You all did so well!
You got first place again! Awesome!
You did great, Rikkard-kun. I knew you could do it.
Now, let's pick up where we left off.
I hope you're ready.
I'm sorry, Miss Tsubasa! I can't take any more!
Katsu!
Where...
...are we?
Hey, you two.
You're going to be late.
Late for the Barfathon?!
I have no idea what you're talking about, ma'am!
The tea party, of course.
Did you hit your head or something? It's an annual event.
I baked some sweets.
A tea party!
How elegant!
All-girls schools are the best!
Flowers are beautiful because they're destined to fall.
The Little Lies We All Tell
Oh, no.
I'm broke this month, as always.
Maybe what you're really concerned about
is the fact that your family won't come back.
A hot guy in an all-girls middle school?!
Sir, did you wander into the wrong show?
Who are you?
I can't talk about that here.
Come see me behind the gym tomorrow.
I'll reveal everything to you then.
Why does it have to be out there?
What? It's only natural to want to see cute girls away from other people.
Let's meet alone.
Stop kidding around!
You're cute when you're angry, as well.
Don't be so cautious.
I know you're always working very hard.
Oh, by the way.
Take off your glasses. You're cuter that way.
See you.
What was that?
Was that a teacher from a different grade or something?
I don't recognize him, though.
You look down. Is everything okay?
No, it's not. My pet ran away.
Oh, dear.
Where could you have gone?
A cute animal, here?!
Let's help each other to survive here on this planet, my comrade.
Don't just start running. It's dangerous.
Hey!
And he just ran off like that.
Fuku-chan...
What kind of name is that?
Lost on a foreign planet... He must be so lonely.
No, he's fine!
Fuku-chan has the ability to embed spores into a target's brain
to show them an illusion of the target's ideal partner!
He'll certainly be popular on this planet, as well!
Spores...?
Wait, so that guy earlier was an illusion shown to me by the Colonel's pet?
Just the right amount of aggressiveness
Understands family issues
Ideal age difference
Beauty mark beside mouth
Squee! \h\h\h\h(Translation: You like guys \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hlike this, don't you?)
So that's my ideal partner...
Aaaaaaaaaaa...
She can't come to terms with her maidenly desires.
Tsubasa...
What?
I'm sorry I called you a pierced female animal the other day.
She has regrets.
It's all right.
But in that case, can I ask you for a favor?
What is it?
Well, there's this person I'm seeing.
I thought this was about a favor?
Wait, you have a boyfriend?
No, it's not like that.
Umm...
We just started talking at the convenience store yesterday, and we got along so well.
And...
I got invited to meet up, just the two of us!
Don't tell me, on the back of Tsubasa's head...
I was like, wow, how can someone so nice exist in reality?
Move your hand!
I totally feel, like, this is destiny.
Ugh, how stubborn...
What are you doing, Sekine? You're being weird.
He's basically a breeding ground.
Tsubasa, I think that person is on a different plane of existence.
Or rather, not plane, but... planet?
I mean, it did cross my mind a little.
There's a bit of an age gap. It might not work out.
Tsuyoshi-kun!
But that romance will only hurt y—
Not necessarily!
No matter how it ends, romance adds color to a dull life!
Colonel, just shut up for a second.
Oh, wait. Tsubasa does tend to become super stupid when men get involved.
Maybe this is a good time for her to experience a heartbreak of her own?
What is it?
Life is short, so fall in love, girls.
Fuku-chan, even if you never come back,
Win-Win Relationship
A win-win relationship!
I hope you can live a happy life with a partner of your own on this planet.
But...
But that's a dream that can never come true.
Uh-oh. Sounds bad.
Fuku-chan uses illusions to lure in prey, and then, while the victim is enraptured,
eats them and converts them into nutrients.
So, I got invited to a sleepover tonight.
Don't!
Please, no!
Tsubasa-san, you can't sleep over at a stranger's house!
It's fine!
So, Sekine, can you just say I was at your house?
Tsubasa...
I'm going to be direct.
If you get eaten tonight, will you regret it then?
That's too direct, Sekine!
Eek!
Aw, jeez, you're such a prude!
Well, I guess she's dying tonight.
No, this is where I have to draw the line.
But how do I put a stop to this?
Pipi-de-pop-de-poo.
She must have spores on her.
I wonder if removing them would do it.
Ah.
This is one of those things where I have to take care of Fuku-chan,
or else more will fall prey.
Are you all right, Sekine?
Sorry, Tsubasa. You're going to be bait.
Is Fuku-chan coming?
Oh, it's Chiyo-san.
I'm a bit scared, but I'll tell that god-knows-who what's what!
You must arrange a meeting between both families before anything else!
God-knows-who
Wahh
Rawr
Y-Yes!
I've trained for this, in my mind!
Here he is!
Isn't that the guy that talked to me? Why?
There were more.
Huh?
Where'd he go?
The only explanation for this bizarre situation...
is that Fuku-chan must be there!
Come on, baby. Let's spend a hot night together.
Tsubasa-san, is this your type?
I must regretfully decline...
Maybe Chiyo-san is seeing her ideal partner?
But why does she seem troubled?
Why isn't she liking it?
Um, are you Tsubasa-san's f-friend?
Her art turned to shit due to stress.
What should I do? I can't help her if I can't see anything.
If only I had some sort of special power...
Wait, I do!
Mistress Time:
Sekine gains the ability to completely control her powers.
But if I use it...
No, I have to save my friends!
Sekine Eye!
Allow me to explain!
Sekine is seeing what Chiyo is seeing!
That must be Fuku-chan, I guess.
I'm glad I sacrificed my belly for this.
But seriously, that's like, a sleazy dude from an adult manga.
Is that Chiyo-san's type?
Ah, I get it. Okay, okay.
You're Tsuba-chan's friend, huh?
You're, like, so much more my type than her, you know.
Please stay away from Tsubasa-san...
P-Please...
In that case, how 'bout ya keep me company instead of Tsuba-chan?
What's going on?
Could it be that...
No chance to procreate!
Fuku-chan doesn't necessarily show you your ideal partner,
but just shows whatever illusion has the best chance of resulting in procreation?
Slight chance to procreate!
Will you promise never to see Tsubasa-san again?
You got it, toots!
Understood...
Let's just kill him.
Guess that figures.
But I vowed to never take a life...
Will I go the way of the demon?
Come on, let's go.
Let's get it on alone!
I'm scared!
Of her own killer instinct.
Chiyo-san!
That won't do.
You're a naughty one.
You're awesome, Colonel! Though it was your fault to begin with!
Oh, where did that man go?
I called the authorities! He probably ran off.
But who would have thought he would actually try to procreate using Earthlings...
Huh? What are you all doing here?
There's no other way.
Exterminate!
What is this?!
Good!
What is?

Are you all right?
I will care for you.
An aftereffect of the spores is that king trumpet mushrooms look like hot guys to her.
You're so fine as always.

I love you.
It went away after a while.
Bye-bye.
