**[01:30] Honda**
Say...
**[01:33] Honda**
Could you stop having every
character start off hungry?
**[01:37] Honda**
You're the same as the other new artists.
**[01:43] Honda**
A hungry hero who saves
**[01:45] ---**
the village from the bad
guys because they fed him.
**[01:48] Honda**
Just like Zuffy from One Park.
**[01:52] Honda**
I understand that you like One Park.
**[01:54] Honda**
That doesn't make it okay to copy ideas.
**[01:57] Honda**
I wouldn't mind so much if you had an
**[02:00] ---**
original approach to the hungry hero.
**[02:02] Honda**
But it's clear that you're
borrowing elements
**[02:05] ---**
from many other series.
**[02:08] Honda**
Are you drawing manga to
express someone's ideas?
**[02:13] Honda**
Didn't you become a manga artist
to express your own ideas?
**[02:16] Honda**
In that case, you need to pour
your soul into every page.
**[02:20] Honda**
Put your life into your work!
**[02:29] Honda**
Jellybeans Vanguard Honda.
**[02:32] Honda**
I'm in my fifth year as a Jump editor.
**[02:34] Honda**
I am very worried.
**[02:38] Honda**
I have been assigned to the evil
**[02:40] ---**
which threatens to consume Jump,
**[02:42] Honda**
Gintaman, designated by the
Bakufu as a harmful manga.
**[02:45] Honda**
Gintaman has managed to
last for eight years,
**[02:49] Honda**
but in reality, it's just
the scribblings of a gorilla
**[02:54] Honda**
that has the backing of
animal rights activists.
**[02:58] Honda**
Look at the editors.
**[02:59] Honda**
The first editor, Konishi,
**[03:00] Honda**
ended up unable to say
anything but "Holy Cow!"
**[03:06] Konishi**
Holy cow!
**[03:10] Honda**
The second editor, Daito,
**[03:12] ---**
messed up his Samurai
Commando Mission 1549 date,
**[03:18] Honda**
so he turned to the world of
anime and never looked back.
**[03:22] Daito**
Strategy for survival!
**[03:24] Honda**
The third editor, elite Nakasaki,
**[03:27] Honda**
hurt his back at a party by
getting a little too elite.
**[03:34] Honda**
After enduring the hell
of strict deadlines,
**[03:38] Honda**
they all snapped.
**[03:39] Honda**
They are all kept in the
gorilla sanctuary now.
**[03:44] Konishi**
Holy cow!
**[03:45] Daito**
Please! Let me watch Madoka Magica!
**[03:47] Naka**
I'm elite!
**[03:49] Naka**
I'm not like them!
**[03:51] Honda**
My assignment to Gintaman was
**[03:53] Honda**
essentially a death sentence.
**[03:59] A**
I heard that Vanguard's
been sent to Gintaman.
**[04:02] B**
He just got married.
**[04:03] B**
Poor guy.
**[04:05] Honda**
I need to find a way to save my neck.
**[04:09] Honda**
That means I have to discover a new artist
**[04:12] ---**
so I can be moved off Gintaman.
**[04:15] Honda**
I've spent days searching
for an artist with promise,
**[04:19] Honda**
but the manga they drew
was only manga in name.
**[04:25] Honda**
Isn't there anyone out there
**[04:28] ---**
who's willing to pour their own words,
**[04:30] Honda**
their own thoughts, their
own life into their work?
**[04:34] Honda**
Is there anyone out there
**[04:36] ---**
to save me from my death,
**[04:39] Honda**
to save me from this dark prison?
**[04:40] A**
...guard-san.
**[04:42] A**
Vanguard-san.
**[04:43] A**
Vanguard-san!
**[04:44] Honda**
Oh, yes.
**[04:46] A**
Vanguard-san, someone named
N3016 is here to see you.
**[04:50] Honda**
O-Oh, let him in.
**[04:52] A**
Yes.
**[04:55] Honda**
N3016?
**[04:57] Honda**
Oh, it's the guy who drew that
**[05:00] ---**
juvenile crap for the Treasure award.
**[05:02] Honda**
Today is his first visit.
**[05:04] Honda**
Even his pen name is juvenile.
**[05:07] A**
Excuse us!
**[05:08] Honda**
Hm?
**[05:12] C**
N3016, get in here!
**[05:17] N**
I am prisoner number 3016.
**[05:21] N**
It is a pleasure to meet you.
***SIGN*** Draw Your Life on the Canvas We Call Manga
**[05:33] Honda**
They brought me a real prisoner?!
**[05:37] Honda**
Instead of throwing me into prison,
**[05:39] ---**
they brought a prisoner to me!
**[05:42] Honda**
N-Nobody warned me about this!
**[05:45] A**
You've got 20 minutes.
**[05:47] B**
Any longer, and you'll be considered
**[05:48] ---**
a fugitive and shot on sight.
**[05:50] Honda**
Why did he bring all these guards with him
**[05:53] ---**
here to show me his manga?!
**[05:55] Honda**
And it sounds like he did
something really bad!
**[05:58] N**
Uh, I believe that we
spoke on the phone before
**[06:04] N**
when I was a finalist
for the Treasure award.
**[06:06] N**
Do you remember my manga
**[06:08] N**
about a Soul Reaper appearing
before a prisoner
**[06:10] ---**
who's about to kill himself?
**[06:11] Honda**
It was nonfiction?!
**[06:13] Honda**
We chose a complete
psycho to be a finalist!
**[06:16] N**
So I wanted to come see
you in person today.
**[06:22] C**
Drop the weapon, Shachi!
**[06:24] Shachi**
It's just a pen!
**[06:25] C**
A pen can be used as a weapon! Drop it now!
**[06:28] Shachi**
I-I can't do that!
**[06:30] Shachi**
I'm... I'm gonna become a manga artist!
**[06:33] C**
I'll wait three seconds!
**[06:34] C**
One! Two!
**[06:35] C**
Three!
**[06:35] Gin**
Shut up!
**[06:37] Honda**
What?! What now?!
**[06:39] Shachi**
Bro!
**[06:40] D**
Sakata-san!
**[06:41] Gin**
Why are you so scared of
a prisoner in handcuffs?
**[06:44] Gin**
Forget it.
**[06:45] Gin**
I'll keep an eye on him,
**[06:47] Gin**
so scram.
**[06:48] D**
If Sakata-san is here,
everything will be fine.
**[06:51] D**
Then we'll be having tea at Renoir.
**[06:54] Gin**
Sorry about all the fuss.
**[06:56] Shachi**
What took you so long, Bro?!
**[06:58] ---**
I was getting nervous.
**[06:59] Honda**
There's another weirdo here.
**[07:01] Gin**
Sorry about the late introduction.
**[07:03] Gin**
I am prisoner number 4264, the artist.
**[07:07] Shachi**
I am number 3016, the writer.
**[07:11] Both**
Together, we are Mute Ashirogi.
**[07:14] Both**
It's a pleasure to meet you.
**[07:15] Honda**
Is this Bakuman?!
**[07:18] Honda**
U-Uh, so the two of you work together?
**[07:21] Gin**
He used to do everything himself.
**[07:24] Gin**
But he was only a finalist, right?
**[07:26] Gin**
I happened to be in the same
prison as him for a short period,
**[07:29] Gin**
and he wanted the opinion of
a twenty-year Jump reader.
**[07:33] Gin**
The art is too dated.
**[07:34] Shachi**
What?! That's not true!
**[07:36] Gin**
Kids are sensitive to that stuff.
**[07:38] Shachi**
Then you draw it!
**[07:40] Gin**
So we ended up
**[07:45] Gin**
working together.
**[07:47] Honda**
A manga duo that met in a prison!
**[07:50] Honda**
I see...
**[07:52] Honda**
These dangerous criminals
can't draw shounen manga!
**[07:55] Shachi**
We fixed the issues you
mentioned in our phone call,
**[07:59] ---**
so could you take a look?
**[08:01] Honda**
Oh shit.
**[08:02] ---**
What will happen to me if
I say something is bad?
***SIGN*** Revised Edition Ver 1.12 Mute Ashirogi
**[08:06] Honda**
Quick! Get this over with and leave!
**[08:09] Honda**
I'll try to give them advice
without antagonizing them...
**[08:13] Shachi**
So...
**[08:14] Shachi**
The original manga was a touching story
**[08:16] Shachi**
about a Soul Reaper appearing before
a prisoner about to kill himself
**[08:19] Shachi**
and using death to teach the prisoner about
**[08:21] ---**
the importance of life.
**[08:23] Gin**
The story was too gloomy,
**[08:25] ---**
and everyone had their sleeves ripped off.
**[08:29] Gin**
He was told to draw something
that wasn't so dark.
**[08:35] Gin**
So we
**[08:36] Gin**
changed things up.
**[08:37] Honda**
You just put shoulder pads
on all of the characters!
**[08:43] Gin**
And we changed two of the key characters,
**[08:45] Gin**
such as the Soul Reaper and
the warden, into girls,
**[08:47] Gin**
so now you have two heroines.
**[08:49] Honda**
The heroines are damn scary!
**[08:51] Honda**
And they have double shoulder pads!
**[08:53] Honda**
Are the shoulder pads the heroines?!
**[08:57] Gin**
The main character was thrown
**[08:58] ---**
in a women's prison for
some unknown reason,
**[09:01] Gin**
and now he spends his days
**[09:03] ---**
surrounded by the prison ladies.
**[09:05] Gin**
These days, Jump doesn't have
**[09:08] ---**
any series that make the readers hard.
**[09:10] Honda**
Pretty sure you've only
made their shoulders hard.
**[09:14] Honda**
S-So this is a prison harem story?
**[09:17] Honda**
That's new.
**[09:18] Shachi**
Right?
**[09:19] Shachi**
We did it, Bro!
**[09:20] Shachi**
But, Jump is aimed at grade
school and middle school boys,
**[09:25] Shachi**
and we don't want them
sympathizing with prisoners...
**[09:27] Shachi**
You got a problem with prisoners?!
**[09:29] Shachi**
We're all prisoners of society!
**[09:33] Shachi**
I'm busting my ass drawing manga here!
**[09:36] Shachi**
I spend all of the little time I have left
**[09:39] Shachi**
after slaving away for hours
on the chain gang on manga!
**[09:42] Gin**
Calm down, N3016.
**[09:44] Gin**
Vanguard-san knows that.
**[09:48] Gin**
However, we can't create a new
**[09:49] ---**
romantic comedy if you
oppose the prison setting.
**[09:51] Gin**
Then you would only have
school romantic comedies.
**[09:54] Gin**
The prison is what makes
this manga stand out.
**[09:56] Gin**
We can't give that up.
**[09:58] Gin**
But we can add some wardrobe malfunctions
**[10:01] ---**
to keep the kiddies happy.
**[10:02] A**
Oh, no! My shoulder pads fell off!
**[10:05] Honda**
Who gives a damn about
shoulder pads falling off?!
**[10:08] Gin**
And we'll follow Yabuki's example
with the tankoban releases
**[10:10] Gin**
by adding detail to the shoulder pads
**[10:12] ---**
and showing how tightly
they adhere to the skin.
**[10:15] Honda**
Forget that! Get rid of the shoulder pads!
**[10:18] Honda**
And this will never make
it to a tankoban release!
**[10:20] Honda**
But if you want to do
**[10:22] ---**
a romantic comedy, the art
needs a little work...
**[10:24] Honda**
The girls are just a little
too beefy, I think.
**[10:29] Shachi**
Yeah, Bro's art is too animated
for a romantic comedy.
**[10:34] Honda**
I'd say his art is too
crappy for a manga artist!
**[10:36] Gin**
Really? Maybe it's because I'm
a fan of the older Jump style.
**[10:41] Shachi**
Maybe a different pen would help?
**[10:45] Honda**
No, it's not that.
**[10:46] ---**
The shoulder pads are a big problem.
**[10:49] Honda**
Uh, I believe you should
**[10:51] ---**
completely start over with
the female characters.
**[10:54] Honda**
Do you have any concept
art for the heroines?
**[10:56] Gin**
Oh, I sure do.
**[10:59] Honda**
This is more like concept
art for the shoulder pads!
**[11:03] Gin**
Right Wing 1.
**[11:04] Gin**
Stores a carbon whip that
shuts up any noisy kid.
**[11:07] Gin**
Can cow any rowdy prisoner.
**[11:09] Honda**
Storage?
**[11:11] Honda**
These shoulder pads are used for storage?!
**[11:13] Gin**
Right Wing 2.
**[11:14] Gin**
Armed with an auto-turret that will
**[11:16] ---**
clear any enemies on your right side.
**[11:19] Honda**
Of course. It only hits
enemies on the right side.
**[11:21] Honda**
It's on her right, so it only
works on the right side!
**[11:24] Gin**
Left Wing 1.
**[11:25] Gin**
Stores an extremely powerful stun gun
**[11:27] ---**
that can instantly knock out an elephant.
**[11:29] Gin**
And now for the Left Wing 2!
**[11:31] Honda**
Hidden?! It was hidden?!
**[11:33] Gin**
The warden is still a girl.
**[11:35] Gin**
She uses this hairbrush
to take care of her hair.
**[11:37] Honda**
Now we find out she's
actually fashion conscious!
**[11:39] Honda**
Of course! She's still a girl!
**[11:42] Gin**
And the shoulder pads can be removed.
**[11:44] Honda**
Metamorphosis?
**[11:45] Honda**
How much time did you spend
on the shoulder pads?!
**[11:47] Honda**
Why are these shoulder pads
starting to resemble the Cloths?!
**[11:50] Honda**
Isn't this supposed to
be a romantic comedy?!
**[11:52] Gin**
Since this is a Jump manga, we
wanted to incorporate battles.
**[11:56] Gin**
Now take the Soul Reaper heroine.
**[11:58] Honda**
What are Zanpakupads?
**[12:01] Shachi**
Right Wing.
**[12:01] Shachi**
A strange blade which grows in parallel
to the user's spiritual power.
**[12:04] Shachi**
Vital for every Soul Reaper.
**[12:06] Gin**
Left Wing.
**[12:07] Gin**
Used for draining spiritual
power when you're running low.
**[12:09] Honda**
You guys are ripping off everything
under the sun with your shoulder pads!
**[12:13] Honda**
Wh-What am I supposed to do...
**[12:14] Gin**
What's wrong?
**[12:16] Gin**
Do you want me to make my
art look worse on purpose?
**[12:18] Shachi**
Yeah, artists don't draw
this much detail these days.
**[12:23] Honda**
They're copycats, but I can't
tell them to remove the
**[12:26] Honda**
shoulder pads after they put
all that effort into them.
**[12:28] Shachi**
The heroines didn't seem that
macho in the initial sketches.
**[12:32] Gin**
The initial sketches were nothing
more than a few scribbles.
**[12:35] Gin**
Can't make any judgments off that.
**[12:36] Honda**
Oh, so N3016 did the rough sketch,
**[12:40] Honda**
and N4264 did the outlining.
**[12:43] Gin**
Yes, since the prison
didn't allow felt pens.
**[12:47] Honda**
Oh, so that's why the submission for the
**[12:49] ---**
Treasure Award was a rough sketch.
**[12:50] Gin**
Look at his crappy drawings.
**[12:53] Gin**
You have no idea how hard it
was for me to correct this.
**[12:56] Warden**
You're headed to the disciplinary room!
**[12:57] Warden**
You're headed to the disciplinary room!
**[12:57] Honda**
Uh, was the pen you used
covered in mud or something?!
**[13:01] Shachi**
It's embarrassing, so don't
compare my art to Bro's!
**[13:03] Honda**
They should switch roles!
**[13:07] Honda**
And the guy with an ugly
face can draw some cute art!
**[13:10] Honda**
He's made a ton of progress!
**[13:13] Honda**
He's a genius, if you
ignore the shoulder pads!
**[13:15] Honda**
I-I understand.
**[13:17] Honda**
Then let's have the two of you swap roles
**[13:19] ---**
on the next submission.
**[13:21] Both**
Huh?!
**[13:22] Honda**
Well, it's good now, but I'm
**[13:24] ---**
interested in seeing what else you can do.
**[13:27] Shachi**
But I don't know how to use a mapping pen
**[13:29] Shachi**
since I've been a model prisoner!
**[13:31] Honda**
Uh, you don't have to use a mapping pen.
**[13:35] Honda**
N4264 writes the story
**[13:37] Honda**
and N3016 draws a rough sketch off that.
**[13:41] Honda**
Then you just have to fax it to me.
**[13:44] Shachi**
Seriously?! My art can't
compare with Bro's!
**[13:48] Honda**
No, I guarantee that your art is better.
**[13:51] Gin**
Well, this might help him
realize how hard my job is.
**[13:53] Gin**
Sounds like fun. Let's do it.
**[13:55] Honda**
Why are you so arrogant?!
**[13:58] Honda**
You're the one holding back this manga!
***SIGN*** Shueisha
**[14:01] Shachi**
Thank you very much for seeing us today.
**[14:04] Shachi**
We'll fax you our next work,
so please give us a chance.
**[14:06] Honda**
Yes, I'm looking forward to seeing it.
**[14:10] Honda**
With that art, and a story
that lays his own life bare...
**[14:16] Honda**
There are many obstacles
ahead, but it's possible that
**[14:21] Honda**
I've found an incredible talent.
**[14:32] A**
Vanguard-san, you have a fax.
**[14:35] Honda**
The gorilla finally finished?
**[14:37] C**
Oh, no. It's from someone
named Mute Ashirogi.
***SIGN*** Jump Editing Department Mr. Vanguard We finished our first draft. Please have a look.
**[14:41] Honda**
What? It only took them one day?
**[14:43] Honda**
These newbies are so much
faster than the gorilla.
**[14:48] Honda**
Let's see. What's the title?
**[14:50] Honda**
God of Death?
**[14:52] Honda**
So they focused on the
**[14:53] ---**
reaper aspect instead of the prison theme.
**[14:56] Honda**
Huh? There's more below?
***SIGN*** Prison of Death
**[14:58] Honda**
Oh, so it hasn't been finalized.
**[15:00] Honda**
Looks like they were shifting between
***SIGN*** Death Prison Death PriDeath
**[15:01] ---**
the reaper and prison themes.
***SIGN*** PriDeath PriDeath Death PriPri Death
**[15:04] Honda**
Er, I don't like where this is going.
**[15:08] Honda**
You don't want to start
mixing and matching words.

***SIGN*** CHAGE here.
**[15:13] Honda**
This has nothing to do
with reapers or prisons.
***SIGN*** ASKA here.
**[15:17] Honda**
What happened to the death and pripri?
***SIGN*** CHAGE & ASKA here.
**[15:20] Honda**
Why is this like the intro
for a CHAGE & ASKA concert?
***SIGN*** ASKA & CHAGE here.
**[15:23] Honda**
Who cares about the order?!
***SIGN*** ASKA & CHAGE & ASKA here.
**[15:25] Honda**
Don't put CHAGE in between two ASKAs!

***SIGN*** CHAGE DEATH ASKA
**[15:30] Honda**
Why are you bringing death
back into the title?!
***SIGN*** CHAGETH NOTE
**[15:32] Honda**
And now this is just completely wrong!
**[15:35] Honda**
What is this CHAGETH NOTE?
**[15:37] Honda**
Does something bad happen
**[15:38] ---**
if you write someone's name in it?
**[15:42] Chage**
Damn, practice ran late.
**[15:45] Chage**
My shoulders are starved.
**[15:46] Honda**
Shoulders are starved? They're huge!
**[15:49] Honda**
They're sticking out of the panel!
**[15:50] Honda**
And this no longer has
**[15:52] ---**
anything to do with reapers or prisons.
**[15:53] Honda**
But why did they keep the shoulder pads?
**[15:56] Chage**
Man, the moon is creeping me out tonight.
**[15:58] Chage**
Feels like something's going
to pop out of the shadows.
**[16:00] Honda**
Uh, your creepy shoulders
are blocking the moon.
**[16:04] Honda**
And those shoulders limit the space
**[16:06] ---**
he has for everything else!
**[16:08] Chage**
Oh, dog poop.
**[16:09] Honda**
Why are you using a huge panel
for such a pointless scene?!
**[16:13] Honda**
How long is this going to continue?!
**[16:16] Chage**
Wh-What is this CHAGETH NOTE?!
**[16:18] Honda**
He sounds surprised, but
he already knows the name?
**[16:22] Chage**
There's a name inside...
***SIGN*** ASKA RYO
**[16:22] Honda**
Hey! ASKA's name's in there!
**[16:24] Honda**
Who put it there?
**[16:25] Honda**
CHAGE?
**[16:25] Honda**
Did CHAGE write that?
**[16:27] Honda**
ASKA, Inaba, Shimura, Kaku-san?
**[16:29] Honda**
These are all names of people who get
**[16:30] ---**
the most attention in
their respective groups.
**[16:32] Honda**
That list of names is scaring me! Stop it!
**[16:35] Honda**
Don't cause any scandals!
**[16:37] Ryu**
You weren't supposed to see that!
**[16:40] Honda**
And why are you doing math on here?!
**[16:42] Honda**
Don't scribble on a draft!
**[16:44] Honda**
You're shaky on your sevens?!
**[16:46] Honda**
Y-You're...
***SIGN*** Mute Ashirogi
**[16:47] Honda**
I can't focus on the manga!
**[16:50] Honda**
You don't need to practice your signature!
**[16:52] Honda**
Nobody's interested in your signature!
**[16:54] Ryu**
I am Ryuko, a God of Death.
**[16:56] Gin**
Kagura, I made fried race so you
can microwave that for dinner.
**[16:59] Honda**
They drew this important
scene on an old note?!
**[17:02] Honda**
The heroine's face is
covered by fried rice!
**[17:05] Honda**
And they've perfected their signature!
**[17:07] Gin**
Mute Ashirogi!
**[17:09] Chage**
A God of Death?!
**[17:10] Kagura**
Next time, I want BBQ
instead of boiled ham.
**[17:13] Kagura**
But I still loved it to DEATH.
**[17:14] Kagura**
-Kagura
**[17:15] Honda**
Don't use the manga to reply!
**[17:18] Honda**
Do they not care about this draft?!
**[17:20] Shin**
Gin-san, Otose-san dropped
by for rent today.
**[17:24] Shin**
-Shinpachi
**[17:24] Honda**
Don't turn this manga into a message board!
**[17:28] Gin**
Oh, then I'll make myself scarce.
**[17:30] Honda**
If you're in the same room,
**[17:32] ---**
you can talk to each other directly!
**[17:34] Honda**
Wait up.
**[17:36] Honda**
What happened while those fools
were talking to each other?
**[17:39] Honda**
We're back in a prison again!
**[17:42] Chage**
This was my only solution.
**[17:44] Chage**
I could never write someone's name
**[17:46] ---**
in this notebook and CHAGE them.
**[17:47] Honda**
What does that even mean?
**[17:50] Chage**
I've fallen in love with
both Ryuko and Wardena.
**[17:54] Honda**
That never happened...
**[17:56] Chage**
In order to make one
happy, I had to CHAGE the
**[17:59] ---**
other so she would barely remember me.
**[18:02] Honda**
Apologize to CHAGE!
**[18:03] Wardena**
If that's what it takes
for you to be happy,
**[18:06] ---**
you can CHAGE me.
**[18:08] Wardena**
But I'll always ASKA you.
**[18:11] Honda**
Hey! The shoulder pads pushed her face
**[18:13] ---**
off the page in this critical scene!
**[18:15] Wardena**
You better make him happy,
**[18:17] ---**
or I'll send you to the disciplinary room!
**[18:18] Honda**
Who's talking?
**[18:20] ---**
Whose shoulder pads are these?
**[18:22] Chage**
I can't make one of them
**[18:24] ---**
forget me to make the other happy.
**[18:27] Chage**
Because I need both of them...
**[18:32] Chage**
Both CHAGE & ASKA.
***SIGN*** CHAGEsuke.
**[18:34] Honda**
Now it's kind of a touching story?
**[18:37] Chage**
This was for the best...
**[18:39] Chage**
I could only protect them
by making them forget me.
**[18:41] Honda**
Why would that land you in prison?!
**[18:44] D**
Hey, what's your name?
**[18:47] Chage**
Beats me. I can't even remember now.
**[18:50] D**
There's a letter for you.
**[18:53] Chage**
It was
**[18:55] Chage**
from the people around the
**[18:56] ---**
world who should have forgotten about me.
**[19:00] Chage**
A love letter that should never
**[19:03] ---**
have been able to reach me...
**[19:04] Otose**
Gintoki, I've taken your
furniture as collateral.
**[19:08] Otose**
Never come back.
**[19:09] Otose**
-Otose
**[19:15] Honda**
You know....
**[19:17] Honda**
When a story starts off with
a hungry main character,
**[19:21] Honda**
it must be great!
**[19:23] Honda**
Now is the time to copy other manga
**[19:25] ---**
and use what you can!
**[19:28] Honda**
Don't bother with originality!
**[19:31] Honda**
Don't bother using your
own life experiences!
**[19:33] D**
Hey, who's Vanguard talking to?
**[19:36] E**
Beats me.
**[19:37] ---**
I heard that he committed himself
to the gorilla sanctuary.
**[19:41] D**
Why?
**[19:42] E**
Because wild gorillas are scarier.
**[19:44] Konishi**
Holy cow!
**[19:46] Daito**
Please! Let me watch Utena!
**[19:48] Nakazaki**
I'm not like these scum!
**[19:50] Honda**
Jellybeans!
**[21:28] Chage**
Damn, practice ran late.
**[21:32] Chage**
My shoulders are starved.
**[21:33] Chage**
Man, the moon is creeping me out tonight.
**[21:35] Chage**
Feels like something's going
to pop out of the shadows.
**[21:36] Chage**
Oh, dog poop.
**[21:38] Chage**
Wh-What is this CHAGETH NOTE?!
***SIGN*** ASKA RYO
