We were birds that couldn't fly... pg New Wave School Life Graffiti Penguin Brothers by Shiina Ayumi pg 1 Box: Day Before Transferring Hina: Kyou-chan! KYOU-CHAN!! Hey, you middle-aged delinquent! Box: Mishima Hina High School Year one Hina: You came home this morning again, didn't you?! pg 2 Hina: Just when I thought because we hadn't moved in a while... Now it's this! It's almost afternoon. You're already thirty, can't you settle down for once? Box: Mishima Kyouichi 29 year old artist Hina's uncle Kyouichi: I'm still twenty-nine. Hina: I'm going out for a little while, so I'll leave the rest to you. Kyouichi: I thought you were transferring in tomorrow? Hina: The school called me up and said there were lots of explanations they had to give me now. Kyouichi: Hina! pg 3 Kyouichi: Try not to cause any problems THIS time. Hina: ~~~~ Hina: % Like you'd expect of someone who's transferred eight times... % I can get used to new surroundings pretty quickly, and there % isn't usually much that can suprise me, but... % I feel like this new school is going to be a little different % somehow... Hina: Uwah! pg 4 Hina: IT'S HUGE!!! Hina: % This is the giant private school... % Tokiwa Elite Academy... % This is where I'll be transferring. pg 5 Hina: ? ? HUUUH? Box: Hirayama Toshirou Physical Eduation teacher Toshirou: I've heard a lot about you, Mashima Hina...your martial story, I mean. pg 6 Toshirou: So, if you've transferred eight times, that's how many times you've caused problems in school? Hina: Of course not! I live with my uncle- he likes traveling a lot. I just go along with him! Toshirou: Yes, I've heard of him. He's very young, but he's already a famous artist. Our principal is a huge fan of his... The truth is, our school doesn't really accept transfer students, but because of that, looks like he made an exception? Hina: He let me into the school for that kind of reason? Toshirou: You passed the enterance exam- why not? Hina: But this school is so amazing. It's huge and so modern! Toshirou: Big enough that I won't be able to explain everything to you in one day. pg 7 Hina: Oh, right, sensei! I heard this place was free dress, so I didn't get a uniform ready... What should I do now? Toshirou: Nope, it is free dress. Hina: Huh? But everyone's... Toshirou: ...I'll explain that part later. First I'll take you on a school tour. Hina: % Now that I look, there's actually two kinds- white blazers % and black unifrms. % And everyone's been staring at me, so much their gaze is % starting to hurt... Guy: WA- Hina: Ah... pg 8 Hina: I'm so sorr- Guy: FORGET IT, don't make a big dea- ! Hina: Here! This is all of... pg 9 Hina: ...them... Guy: Hina... pg 10 Hina: Huh... How do you know my name...? Kousuke: What's wrong Isshiki? You're...! pg 11 Kousuke: You're a new "Gray"? What's your name? What grade are you and what class? Hina: HUH? "Gray"? If you mean Glay, I like Jirou~ (ed: Pronunciation pun, they're both said the same ^^;) Kousuke: No, not that Gray... Hina: I'm Mishima Hina, a transfer student. Starting tomorrow, I'll be a first year in class three. Kousuke: Oh! I see... pg 12 Kousuke: We're on the student council, so we've already heard about you. (I'm the vice-president, he's the president.) Since they made an exception for you to transfer in, we figure you've gotta be really amazing... Hina: (Ahahaha!) NOT REAAAAALLY!! Kousuke: So we really want you in our group. Right, Isshiki? Kousuke: Isshiki? Toshirou: Hey, Mishima! Hina: Coming! Bye! Hina: % That student coucil president- I wonder if he knew my name % since they already heard about me... pg 13 Box: Takigami Kousuke Second-year high school student Student council vice-president Toshirou: This is the assembly room... Hina: Wow... Toshirou: One of our gyms.... Hina: Ooh... Toshirou: The lunchroom... This is the computer room. Girl: Ooh, a "Black" one walked in! I don't wanna breathe the same air as her! pg 14 Black: Why don't you get out?! Girl: Can someone as stupid as you even work a computer? Black: That means you wanna fight?! Girl: Ooh, you guys are always so violeeeeent, it's scary. Toshirou: HEY, QUIT IT! Hina: ? Box: Library Girl: Hey! That's the "White" space! Guy: YOU were the only ones who decided that! pg 15 Hina: Sensei...isn't this school weird? Toshirou: ...good observation. Hina: (No...anyone could tell...) Woman: Hirayama-sensei, may I see you for a moment? Toshirou: Ah, coming. Why don't you go watch the club activities out on the grounds? Hina: Okay! Hina: % What's UP with this place... % Everyone is having elementary kid-level arguments... % (This IS a high school, right?) Guy: DON'T MOVE. Hina: !! Guy: It's real- put your hands up. pg 16 Hina: % What's going on? % They have this in the schools?! Guy: Don't move. huh, there's nothing in here. Guy: ?! Guy: OW...!! pg 17 Guy: Y...you got me right in the stomach... Hina: You want me to do it again?! Guy: You're SOOOO COOL!! Do you do some kind of martial arts?! Hina: ... Guy: Mishima...what's this say? Youna-chan? Akina-chan? pg 18 Hina: HINA! Geez, give it back! Guy: Hina-chan! Okay, your nickname's Piyoko! Hina: Don't give me weird nicknames!! Hina: % INSANE. % What's with this jerk... Hina: ...you go to this school? Guy: What! You don't know me, the school nice guy?! (Ooooh!) Hina: I'm a transfer student. And you're the first person I've seen in free dress. Guy: TRANSFER STUDENT!! huh, no wonder. No wonder... (Bet you were suprised by this...) pg 19 Guy: After all... There isn't anyone who would become a "Gray" of their own choice. Hina: If you mean Glay, I like Jirou! Guy: No, not that Gray... Hina: What did you just mean now? Guy: Okay! How about I explain? People like me who have free dress in school... We're called "Gray". pg 20 Guy: You've seen them, right? The two types of uniforms in school. The people who wear white are called "Whites". And people who wear black are called "Blacks". Since you're transferring in, you'll have to choose which one you'll want to wear. The Whites are strong people who like that they're the elite... The Blacks are the so-called leftovers. The two groups are always fighting for power, so they're in a sturggle for it day and night. And then there are people like me...who don't really belong to either group and don't really care about fighting, in free dress. Hina: That's "Gray"? pg 21 Hina: Why do they have all these groups in the same school?! Even making different uniforms... Guy: Nobody really knows the reason. It's a school tradition. Hina: Then why do the Grays dress like that?! Why aren't they grouped up like others? Guy: You'll figure out all the answers later. Even though they're not good ones. Hina: ? Guy: I'm Koshiba Tetsuta. Let's be friends! pg 22 Tetsuta: Really close from now on, kay? Hina: ?!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!! pg 23 Tetsuta: Good...punch... Hina: That JEEEEEEEEEEERK!!! What's with him?! What's with him?! THAT GUY!! Is EVERYONE in this city THIS WAY?! Hina: % Forget him!! Think about him as nothing more than a dog and % forget about him!! Hina: Huh? My handerchief... pg 24 Hina: T...Thanks. Hina: % He really is good-looking... % Really refined. % Sort of like that sicko before, he's a type that doesn't seem % to belong out here in the suburbs... Hina: Thanks, I'll wask this and return it later. Um...Isshiki-kun, right? What class? pg 25 Isshiki: I'm... Issiki Shoui. Hina: ? Yeah... What class? Isshiki: Isshiki Shoui. Hina: Huh? ? Isshiki: ISSIKI SHOUI!! Hina: ? ? I already KNOW your name! Isshiki: Don't fool around with me, dammit! pg 26 Hina: WHAAT?! Hina: % HE just said that to me?! Isshiki: Don't say you don't remember! I haven't forgotten you for a single day. I'll give you till tomorrow to remember! YOU IDIOT!! Hina: I...idio...idiot...?! pg 27 Hina: % I DON'T KNOW YOU!! % I just met him and he called me an idiot- he had NO right! % This school is FULL of weird people! % but do I really know him? Isshiki: (Idiot!) Hina: % Nope, I don't remember anyone with the name "Isshiki"... % Seems like his appearance and his personality are totally % different... Tetsuta: What were you talking about with Isshiki-kun? pg 28 Tetsuta: WHAT WAS THAT FOR?! Hina: Don't come within a five-meter radius of me!! Tetsuta: You don't have to be THAT mad about it... Ooh, unless it was your first kiss or something... Hina: !!! Tetsuta: OOH, TH- Look, look! I figured out something cool. Look at our names! Tetsuta: See- with Tetsuta and Hina, the kanji spell out "Sun". Tetsuta: THE "SUN COMBINATION" IS FORMED!! Hina: NOTHING is "formed"!! pg 29 Tetsuta: You've got the same wild act as me. I know we'd make a great combination... Hina: Why?! Tetsuta: You've got the same scent as me. Tetsuta: % DEFINITELY her nature... pg 30 Tetsuta: We're a team now, so let me warn you of one thing! Hina: You don't need to go into detail again... Tetsuta: You shouldn't get too involved with Isshiki Shoui. Hina: Why not? Tetsuta: White and Black both have their own respective Leaders. Students have to do whatever the Leaders say... He's the White Leader. Hina: ! Boy: UWAAAAAAH!! pg 31 Tetsuta: What? Another fight? Boy: F...Forgive me...! I won't do it again... H...HELP ME!! Hina: What are you waiting for- we've got to stop him now!! Tetsuta: Why am I getting dragged into this? Hina: You may be short, but you are a guy, right?! Tetsuta: Don't point it out. Just leave him alone, it happens every day. Hina: It does?! Tetsuta: It's fine, he won't kill hi- ...m, HEY!! Boy: ...! EEK- pg 32 Hina: STOP IT! If you beat him up with that, you'll kill him! Guy: Who the hell are you? pg 33 Guy: This isn't your business, get out of the way!! Hina: ...augh! Boy: S...SAVE ME...!! pg 34 Guy: !!! Hina: ?! pg 35 Hina: ...you! Tetsuta: OWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Hina: Y...You okay?! oh, hey! Guy: Hey, K oshiba. Who's this monkey girl. Hina: MONKEY?! Guy: She a new Gray? Tetsuta: She's a transfer student, Nishizaki-kun. I've taken a liking to her, don't touch her, okay? pg 36 Nishizaki: Hmm...pitiful. Looks like you don't know- so I'll tell you, transfer student... The rules of this school. Don't stand out. Don't intrude. Don't disobey. If you do that, then our peaceful school like won't have to be shattered. pg 37 Nishizaki: If you get in my way again... I'm not going to just let it go. Understand? Hina: IDIOTIC! pg 38 Hina: Who decided those rules? This school building looks so modern, but inside, it only holds people that act like they're from fifty years ago! You've got all these meaningless things- fights happen every day! And not one person thinks to questions it... All of you- you're all WEIRD!!! pg 39 Crowd: Ah! Hina: ! Isshiki: So someone finally said what nobody in this school could ever say. Nishizaki: Isshiki, I'm in a bad good. Don't feel like seeing your face today. Isshiki: I feel the same. pg 40 ?: The Black and White leaders are assembled... That's pretty rare. Hina: % So he was the Black Leader... % Idiot, he acted all superior... Hina: Hey, Koshiba... Do the Grays have a Leader? Tetsuta: Nope. Because we're all individual. pg 41 Hina: Then I'll be a Gray! Since I don't want to have to follow anyone's orders. Isshiki: ! Tetsuta: ! Nishihzaki: Hahaha! pg 42 Nishizaki: If you don't listen to other's advice... You'll regret it, transfer student. Hina: Will not! ?" A new "Gray", huh. Wonder how much this one has in her? ?: Why don't we make a bet? On how many days she'll stay in school.
