SIGN    Chio's SIGN    School Road 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! SIGN    Chio-chan's SIGN    Beautification Project SIGN    Begins [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     Chio's—God, I beseech you!—School R— 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?
