SIGN Chio-chan Changes Her Image
[01:31] Mom
Even in high school, you're still
cramming the night before the test?
[01:35] Chio
This is a valid strategy for test-taking.
[01:37] Mom
Here. Have a midnight snack.
[01:40] Mom
Well, do your best.
[01:44] Chio
It's just memorization of liberal arts stuff.
[01:47] Chio
If I work real hard tonight, I should be
able to secure a below-average score.
[01:54] Chio
Wait... how do you write the second
kanji in "authority" again?
[02:02] Chio
That's the last thing I remember.
[02:05] Chio
Before I knew it, I was
having a shootout online.
[02:08] Chio
Then I suddenly got shot and yelped...
[02:10] Chio
After that, my mom came in,
and we got into an argument...
[02:13] Chio
Then I got pissed off,
so I went to bed sulking!
[02:15] Manana
Wow...
[02:17] Manana
So does that mean you haven't
studied for today's test at all?
[02:21] Chio
Pretty much.
[02:22] Chio
But...
[02:23] Chio
I have my ultimate last resort strategy.
[02:25] Manana
Strategy? Don't tell me you're
going to pray to God or something.
[02:29] Chio
Please, God, I implore you!
SIGN Offerings
[02:30] Chio
Please, God, I beg of you!
[02:38] Chio
Okay, that should do it!
[02:40] Chio
I mean, I even offered a hundred yen!
[02:43] Chio
Now I shouldn't have any
problems with my test!
[02:45] Chio
In fact, my whole life will be at peace!
[02:48] Manana
Jeez, you're optimistic.
[02:49] Manana
There's no way a selfish
wish like that would—
SIGN Offerings
[02:52] Roshi
Your wish...
SIGN Offerings
[02:53] Roshi
has been granted!
[02:56] Both
Wh-Who's there?!
[03:01] Roshi
It's me! The Great Avatar!
[03:03] Both
You're...
[03:05] Chio
...the guy who was with Kushitori-senpai
at the park... the master!
[03:08] Roshi
It's been a while.
[03:10] Manana
What the hell is he even doing here?
[03:12] Roshi
Miyamo.
[03:13] Chio
Hey, he remembered my name.
[03:14] Roshi
You seemed to be troubled about your test.
[03:18] Roshi
I never forget the name of a high
school girl once I've heard it...
[03:23] Roshi
Never!
[03:24] Chio
So, uh, what do you want?
[03:27] Roshi
I thought I'd give you a word of advice.
[03:30] Roshi
Despite how I look, I was
once considered an elite.
[03:35] Roshi
I am a winner when it comes
to the academic world.
[03:37] Manana
Oh, yeah. He did mention that he
was a successful salaryman before...
[03:37] Roshi
I know how the world works.
[03:41] Roshi
You don't even need to try
that hard in your studies.
[03:45] Chio
What? Really?
[03:46] Roshi
Listen well...
[03:48] Roshi
Girls should be concentrating more
on how to improve their looks
[03:51] Roshi
than on their academic scores!
[03:53] Both
He actually said it!
[03:55] Roshi
Listen, I saw it countless times
while I worked at the trading firm.
[04:00] Roshi
When it came to hiring women,
[04:02] Roshi
they would hire based solely on their
looks, and not their academic history.
[04:07] Roshi
And so, Miyamo...
[04:09] Roshi
I shall remake you!
[04:12] Roshi
Let's make you street smart!
[04:15] Chio
I mean... I know there might be
some advantages to being pretty,
[04:20] Chio
but you've got to be somewhat
decent to begin with.
[04:23] Chio
And when unattractive girls try too hard,
[04:26] Chio
they get targeted and end up getting hurt.
[04:30] Chio
A girl as below average as me wouldn't...
[04:33] Roshi
Not to worry.
[04:37] Roshi
You are beautiful, my dear.
[04:39] Roshi
You are without a doubt
a diamond in the rough,
[04:42] Roshi
and I want you to let me polish you.
[04:44] Chio
Huh?
[04:46] Chio
Manana...
[04:51] Manana
You never realized it?
[04:53] Manana
I've thought that this whole time!
[04:56] Chio
I'll do it!
[04:58] Manana
This is getting interesting!

[05:04] Roshi
Now you will also enjoy life in easy mode!
[05:07] Chio
I'm counting on you, sir!
[05:09] Roshi
I need your help, young one.
[05:11] Manana
Uh, sure...
[05:12] Manana
But where did you get those wigs and props?
[05:15] Roshi
Well, you see, underneath this shrine
is where I store all the things I find.
[05:20] Manana
Blasphemy!
[05:21] Roshi
All right, how about we take a
look at your natural face, Miyamo?
[05:26] Roshi
Could you take your glasses off?
[05:28] Chio
Oh, sure...
[05:32] Both
Her face is so dull!
[05:34] Roshi
To be honest, I started this just for fun,
[05:37] Roshi
but this is going to be
harder than I thought.
[05:40] Roshi
How do I put this...
Your face is really plain.
[05:44] Manana
Jeez. Your whole personality
basically relies on your glasses.
[05:48] Roshi
But her glasses add to her
gloominess, so we'll keep them off.
[05:51] Chio
You're saying something different now...
[05:54] Roshi
First, we've got to do something
about your lame hairstyle,
[05:56] Roshi
so we'll try this long-haired
wig and see how it goes.
[06:01] Manana
Now she's just some online game invalid
who's been shut in for three years!
[06:04] Roshi
The long hair makes you look like
M-Monsieur Kamayatsu. It suits you.
[06:08] Chio
Oh, really? Who's that?
[06:08] Manana
Th-That wig is way too bleached!
[06:11] Roshi
Let's hurry up and get this styled!
[06:13] Chio
Ooh, that's a nice sound.
[06:15] Manana
Look at those movements! He's so experienced!
[06:17] Manana
This old man is definitely not normal.
[06:23] Manana
She just stepped out of the Showa era!
[06:25] Manana
But wait... The usually
conservative Chio-chan
[06:25] Roshi
This is the Monroe hairstyle.
[06:27] Manana
Wow... What's a Monroe?
[06:28] Manana
is actually positively trying
to change her image...
[06:31] Roshi
I'll leave her makeup to you.
[06:33] Manana
All right...
[06:34] Manana
I'll use all of my power
[06:37] Manana
to guide you toward becoming a popular kid!
[06:41] Manana
Mana Mana Mana Mana Mana
Mana Mana Mana Mana...
[06:45] Roshi
L-Look at her go!
[06:48] Manana
My goal... is to do the huge eyes
makeup that's so in right now!
[06:56] Roshi
Scary!
[06:58] Manana
I gave it my all.
[07:01] Roshi
R-Right...
[07:02] Chio
Hey, so how do I look?
[07:04] Roshi
Yikes! She talked!
[07:14] Both
What a total failure...
[07:16] Manana
What the hell's with that weird hairstyle?!
[07:19] Roshi
I never thought her face would look
that plain without the glasses!
[07:22] Roshi
That's why I thought I'd at least
make her hair look fancy!
[07:25] Manana
And what do we do about the fact that she's
so excited to look in a mirror right now?!
[07:28] Roshi
Also, what the hell is with that makeup?!
[07:31] Manana
I couldn't help it, okay? The more I
experimented, the more fun it became!
[07:34] Roshi
What?! So this was premeditated?
How can you call yourself her friend?
[07:37] Chio
Hey, hey! Are you guys done talking?
[07:41] Roshi
A-Anyway, we need to figure out what
to do with that sad little monster...
[07:45] Manana
R-Right...
[07:46] Roshi
What should we do? Start over?
[07:48] Manana
We definitely don't have that much time.
[07:51] Roshi
I knew something was off as soon
as I put the blonde wig on her.
[07:55] Manana
Oh, actually, so did I.
[07:57] Manana
The thing with Chio-chan is...
her face is dated.
[08:02] Manana
So whenever I do her makeup,
I always go overboard.
[08:06] Roshi
What should we do?
[08:07] Roshi
Should we just stick that horse mask
on her head and make a run for it?
[08:09] Manana
Uh, I'll end up seeing her at school.
[08:14] Manana
Th-This should...
[08:16] Roshi
You're right! With her
dull face, that should...
[08:20] Manana
Chio-chan! Forget everything we just did!
[08:23] Roshi
And if we just stick this on—
[08:28] BG
Indeed.
[08:30] Both
It looks so good!
[08:31] Roshi
W-We finally found it!
The hairstyle that fits you best!
[08:35] Manana
I-It's absolutely perfect!
Why hadn't I realized it before?!
[08:38] Chio
What? That good? So my image
has successfully been changed?
[08:42] Roshi
Heck, yes!
[08:43] Chio
I don't look weird at all?
[08:45] Manana
You bet your ass you do!
[08:47] Chio
D-Do I look a little sexy, too?
[08:51] Manana
Oh, w-well...
[08:51] Chio
Do you think guys will like me?
[08:52] Manana
Crap... That was the whole point...
[08:56] Roshi
Uh... Um...
[08:58] Roshi
Well, to be honest...
[09:00] Roshi
You could be in a dirty mag!
[09:02] Chio
I've ascended to that level?
[09:04] Manana
Hey, why'd you put it like that?
[09:06] Roshi
Well, the pretty ladies in the old Japanese
paintings basically looked like that.
[09:10] Manana
Still, I mean...
[09:12] Chio
I see... So I look that different
just by changing my hairstyle...
[09:12] Manana
That hair doesn't go with her uniform at all!
[09:16] Chio
Actually, I guess that happens
all the time in stories.
[09:19] Chio
Hey, you two.
[09:21] Chio
Smooch. Thank you.
[09:26] Chio
As of today, I'm finally graduating
from being below average...
[09:31] Chio
I guess I'll start stealing
boys' hearts, one after another.
[09:37] Chio
Say, you two...
[09:40] Chio
Do you want to see the new,
reborn, sexy Chio-chan?
[09:54] ---
Just a little bit...
[10:11] ---
Fujiyama tempura!
[10:14] ---
Oh, behave.
[10:17] ---
All right!
[10:18] ---
Your mother's topknot.
[10:30] Chio
Well? How was that absolutely
sexy pole dancing?
[10:34] Roshi
Shit...
[10:35] Manana
What should we do?
[10:36] Chio
Was it worthy of the new Chio-chan...
[10:42] Chio
Hey, this is my usual hairstyle.
[10:45] Chio
Manana?
[10:46] Manana
Yeah!
[10:47] Manana
So, actually, um, uh... Y-Y-Yeah!
[10:51] Manana
Uh, so basically...
[10:53] Manana
Chio-chan, when you're
your below average self,
[10:56] Manana
you're the most precious and most beautiful...
[11:01] Chio
Huh? Wait, so what was all that
about being in a dirty mag?
[11:04] Roshi
Well, I just meant that if you
weren't popular to everyone,
[11:07] Roshi
there'd still be a need for you somewhere.
[11:12] Chio
I see! I get it.
[11:16] Chio
This was all a waste of time!
[11:18] Chio
I'm going to school!
[11:19] Manana
Hey, wait!
[11:21] Chio
If I fail, it's both of your faults!
[11:22] Roshi
See you again!
[11:24] Roshi
How fun. I got to play with high school
girls again first thing in the morning.
[11:29] Roshi
But you know...
[11:30] Roshi
There's just one thing I
want you to remember...
[11:34] Roshi
The only ones who are able to play with wigs
[11:38] Roshi
are those blessed enough
to not truly need them.
[11:42] Girl

SIGN Chio's
SIGN School Road
[11:45] Manana
When the hell did you
learn how to pole dance?
[11:49] Chio
Well, there was this pervy bar
in some game I was playing,
[11:53] Chio
and I ended up watching it all day
one day because I was bored...
[11:56] Chio
And I just picked it up it naturally.
[11:58] Manana
So her life as a girl is basically over.
SIGN Flat Cut
[12:09] Chio
Man...
[12:11] Chio
Aren't these water pipes that
are placed above rivers great?
[12:16] Manana
I'm sorry, how?
[12:18] Chio
This fence... The slippery surface.
[12:21] Chio
They definitely made it difficult for
anyone who wants to try to walk across.
[12:25] Manana
Uh, yeah. You're not supposed to walk on it.
[12:26] Chio
But right in the middle is a resting point.
[12:29] Manana
Uh, that's not a resting point.
[12:31] Chio
It's sort of like a man
who's strong and strict,
[12:33] Chio
but still has some kindness in him... Right?
[12:37] Manana
Chio-chan...
[12:39] Manana
No, I don't get it!
[12:41] Manana
And the fact that you anthropomorphized
a bridge makes you sound like a fujoshi—
[12:44] Chio
Who are you calling a fujoshi, damn it?!
[12:45] Manana
Whoa, you flipped!
[12:46] Manana
I mean, I found a BL game magazine in your room!
[12:50] Chio
Huh?!
[12:52] (Flashback) Manana
There seems to be something under here...
[12:57] Chio
Th-That's just... I just
accidentally bought it...
[13:00] Chio
I only look at it every once in a while...
[13:03] Chio
Let's forget about that! I want to talk
about how cool that water pipe looks!
[13:07] Manana
And I'm telling you that normal
girls wouldn't care about that!
[13:10] Chio
What?!
[13:12] Chio
But it looks so cool!
[13:14] Guy
Let's get married!
SIGN Let's get
married!!
[13:15] Chio
If someone p-p-proposed to me up there,
I'd probably say yes without thinking.
[13:21] Manana
You don't even have a boyfriend!
[13:23] Manana
You seriously just said propfbt—
[13:24] Chio
Shut up! Who cares?!
[13:28] Chio
Jeez!
[13:30] Manana
Man, that was hilarious.
[13:32] Manana
I seriously have no idea
what your basis for "cool" is.
[13:36] Manana
At this rate, you'll never find a...
[13:39] Manana
Isn't that...
[13:43] Chio
Huh? Andou-san?
[13:46] Manana
A newspaper?
SIGN Saitou
[13:51] Andou
Andou-style newspaper delivery technique...
[13:55] Andou
Heaven Destroyer!
[14:00] Both
A-Amazing!
[14:03] Andou
Oh, hey! I didn't see you guys there!
[14:05] Manana
What?
[14:06] Andou
I guess you saw me really getting into it.
[14:10] Andou
That was my last one, so I
got a little too excited.
[14:13] Manana
Wait, he was totally showing off, right?
[14:17] Chio
Th-That was amazing! What was that?!
[14:19] Manana
Chio-chan?!
[14:21] Andou
It's nothing...
[14:22] Manana
Chio-chan... She's showing*
so much interest in this.
[14:25] Manana
If this is what Andou-san was
after, that would mean...
[14:27] Chio
That's amazing!
[14:30] Manana
Andou-san likes Chio-chan, right?
[14:31] Chio
Like this?
[14:31] Andou
More of a whip motion.
[14:33] Andou
Yeah.
[14:33] Andou
See ya.
[14:35] Manana
Huh?
[14:38] Manana
He seemed to leave pretty quickly.
[14:42] Manana
Huh? Did I have the wrong idea?
[14:45] Manana
Maybe he just genuinely...
[14:49] Manana
Huh?
[14:50] Andou
Now that that's done,
I guess I'll have a smoke.
[14:55] Andou
Oh, right. I forgot I quit.
[14:58] Manana
He's not actually talking to himself, is he?
[15:01] Andou
I'll have a cigar instead.
[15:04] Manana
He just leveled up!
[15:17] Manana
I mean, it suits him, but...
[15:21] Andou
Oh, hey, Miyamo.
[15:21] Chio
Is that one of those cigar things?!
[15:23] Andou
Yeah, it is.
[15:23] Chio
I've never seen one before!
[15:25] Manana
Now I know for sure...
[15:25] Chio
Wow! A real cigar!
[15:27] Manana
Everything Andou-san does
is to appeal to Chio-chan!
[15:31] Manana
Which means Andou-san likes Chio-chan!
[15:35] Manana
And somehow, Andou-san's slightly-off
way of seeming appealing
[15:38] Manana
is a home run with Chio-chan!
[15:41] Manana
They might actually end
up a couple at this rate!
[15:44] Manana
I don't think Chio-chan has a clue,
but seriously, what kind of pairing is this?
[15:48] Manana
I always figured Chio-chan would go out
with a guy who'd be depicted like this...
[15:54] Manana
Andou-san probably doesn't have
much of an academic record,
[15:57] Manana
but what's scary about his type is...
[15:59] Manana
They totally turn their lives around!
[16:01] Manana
A former delinquent uses
his personality and actions
[16:04] Manana
to go out into society and
somehow makes it super big...
[16:07] Manana
There are plenty of stories like that.
[16:07] Andou
Get yer ass out here!
SIGN Supermarket Sashisu
[16:11] Manana
Imagine the impending future...
[16:14] Manana
Ugh... Veggies went up in price again.
[16:18] Manana
Also, the water's really
heavy when I buy it here.
[16:20] Manana
If I could afford even a small car...
[16:24] Manana
A convertible?
[16:26] Manana
Really? On a chilly day like this? Wait...
[16:29] Manana
Chio-chan?!
[16:29] Chio
Oh, hey, Manana!
[16:32] Manana
You bought another new car?
[16:34] Chio
Yeah, we did!
[16:35] Chio
My honey insisted on getting
a convertible, and...
[16:39] Andou
Well, I'm not very smart.
[16:41] Chio
But I got this lovely coat in return, so...
[16:44] Chio
Are you riding your bike because
you're worried about your health?
[16:48] Manana
Y-Yeah, something like that.
[16:49] Chio
Good for you!
[16:50] Chio
If you ever buy a car, you should
totally get a foreign one!
[16:53] Chio
Though they tend to be more expensive
because of the exchange rate.
[16:53] Manana
I see...
[16:55] Chio
But once you get used to having the
steering wheel on the left side,
[16:58] Chio
these parking lots become a pain!
[17:01] Manana
Really?
[17:01] Chio
The parking ticket machines
are always on the right side!
[17:05] Chio
At least supermarkets in the city
have ticketing machines on both sides!
[17:08] Manana
I see!
[17:13] Manana
Glare.
[17:19] Chio
Hey... What the hell was that?
[17:23] Manana
You had a lot of bugs on your clothes.
[17:25] Chio
Well, don't crush them!
[17:26] Chio
Why?! How could you?!
[17:26] Manana
Think... Think, damn it!
[17:29] Manana
And figure something out...
[17:30] Manana
to ensure Chio-chan's below
average and happy future...
[17:34] Manana
I'm pretty sure Andou-san will
try something again up ahead.
[17:38] Manana
Something Andou-san would do...
[17:41] Guy
Hey, girls. Why don't we get some tea?
[17:42] Guy
The one with black hair is cute.
[17:43] Guy
The one with the pigtails is totally my type.
[17:43] Manana
He'd probably ask his friends to surround us.
[17:44] Guy
I'd go for the one on the right.
[17:45] Manana
And then...
[17:47] Andou
Are you all right, Miyamo?!
[17:48] Chio
I love you!
[17:50] Manana
Nah, he wouldn't actually
do anything like that...
[17:55] Andou
You like that?
[17:57] Andou
You don't need to rush.
[17:59] Manana
This dude...
[18:00] Manana
might actually be just an idiot.
[18:03] Manana
I think what he wanted to do was this,
[18:06] Manana
but you can tell this was all a
setup because of that umbrella...
[18:10] Manana
What's Chio-chan's reaction?!
[18:12] Chio
H-Huh? That cat's... George?!
[18:16] Chio
Andou-san! That cat!
[18:18] Andou
Oh, this is...
[18:24] Andou
Um...
[18:26] Andou
Okay, time for my next plan!
[18:27] Manana
What? Did he actually say that out loud?!
[18:31] Manana
I'm starting to feel like it'll
be okay, even if I leave it alone.
[18:36] Chio
Could it be that Andou-san...
actually likes me?
[18:43] Manana
Huh, what?! Why?!
[18:44] Chio
Well, he messages me every once in a while...
SIGN It's hot today. I think ice cream would taste really good on a day like this. That farm-fresh kind is really good.
[18:48] Manana
Huh? When did they
exchange email addresses?!
[18:50] Manana
Wait... Are they already that
close without my knowing?
[18:55] Chio
M-Manana?
[18:55] Manana
Oh, I see.
[18:56] Manana
Chio-chan might seriously leave me
in the dust on this school road.
[19:02] Manana
A shadow?!
[19:03] Manana
That's probably Andou-san.
What's he going to do now?
[19:18] Andou
N-Nailed it!
[19:22] Andou
I coincidentally found out at
work that Miyamo is into BL!
[19:27] Andou
Ever since then, I've been
playing those games nonstop,
[19:29] Andou
and watched a ton online for research!
[19:32] Andou
You recognize this, don't you, Miyamo?
[19:35] Sign
I love you, Shouhei.
SIGN Masaomi: "I love you, Shouhei."
[19:37] (Flashback) Andou
Th-This is it!
[19:39] Andou
The classic scene of the super famous
BL game Endor known as the foot slam!
[19:43] (Flashback) Andou
So, apparently, Bloody Butterfly is just a...
[19:43] Andou
I even got my subordinate
to help me out with this.
[19:44] (Flashback) Lady
Welcome!
[19:46] (Flashback) Sub
Huh?
[19:47] (Flashback) Andou
You're the only one I can ask!
[19:49] (Flashback) Sub
I-If it's for you, Andou-san...
[19:51] (Flashback) Sub
I-I'm really going to do this.
[19:53] (Flashback) Andou
Yeah! Put all your weight on me!
[19:59] Andou
It'll be fine... If I can get through this...
[20:03] Chio
Hey! That's the foot slam from Endor!
[20:05] Chio
You know so much about BL,
Andou-san! Let's talk!
[20:07] Andou
Her smile...
[20:16] Andou
Huh?
[20:17] Andou
Miyamo? Please realize what this is... Quick!
[20:21] Chio
Manana, what's going on over there?
[20:26] Andou
Let me introduce you...
[20:27] Andou
This is my boyfriend.
[20:30] Andou
We're so in love that I don't
care who sees. Got that?
[20:33] Manana
PS... My body is super flexible.
[20:36] Chio
Right?!
[20:37] Manana
Actually, yeah, that's all this looks like...
[20:40] Manana
Well, we shouldn't interrupt.
[20:42] Chio
We'll just be going.
[20:43] Andou
H-Huh?!
[20:45] Girl 1
Hey! That's from Endor!
[20:51] Chio
Man, what a sight to see
first thing in the morning...
[20:53] Manana
I guess we were just headed the same way
[20:55] Manana
because he was going to see his boyfriend...
[20:59] Manana
What's wrong, Chio-chan?
[21:01] Chio
Well, I was just thinking...
[21:05] Chio
I said that Andou-san might like me...
[21:07] Chio
and now I'm really embarrassed...
[21:10] Chio
Ugh! It's not like anyone would
ever fall for someone like me!
[21:15] Manana
What? That's not true...
[21:17] Chio
It is! No one would fall for me!
[21:19] Chio
Ugh, I'm so embarrassed!
[21:22] Manana
That's not true.
[21:25] Andou
Damn it!
[21:26] Andou
It was going so well, but it somehow failed!
[21:29] Andou
Sorry to drag you into this and
make you do something so weird...
[21:33] Sub
It's okay...
[21:34] Sub
I didn't even mind...
[21:39] Manana

I managed to get Miyamo's email address.
[21:45] (Flashback) Andou
Today's the day I ask her on a date!
SIGN Cancel | New Message To: Miyamo Subject: This might seem sudden It's hot today. I think ice cream would taste really good on a day like this. That farm-fresh kind is really good.
[21:48] (Flashback) Andou
Not too direct, but not too distant...
[21:50] (Flashback) Andou
I-I have no idea what that
means, but maybe this works...
SIGN Received message From: Miyamo To: Me Subject: If you consider cost and value, you're actually better off if you chomp on some juice you chilled in the freezer.
[21:53] Chio
If you consider cost and value,
[21:54] Chio
you're actually better off if you chomp
on some juice you chilled in the freezer.
