Home 160: Becoming a star.

Blurb: The little sisters seem angry...?

So, you want to put on a play at the Saika Festival — With Yuu and that assistant as the leads...

Sidebar: Kazuki's willful decision has aroused the wrath of Niko and Miwa.

WHAT THE HELL DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING, DECIDING THE BASIC CONTENTS OF THE PROGRAM BY YOURSELF LIKE THAT!?

THERE'S A LIMIT TO HOW BIG OF AN NARCISSISTIC BONEHEAD YOU CAN BE!!

...I-it was...

Necessary, in order to bring down the wall...

If anything, you've just plopped down an even HUGER wall in front of Yuu-kun!

Listen...

You *know* that Yuu failed horribly when he tried to be a child actor,

and that he still has problems dealing with mass media as a result, right!?

Unlike you, Kazu-nee, he's probably gonna have the *worst* possible time if you just shove him into a lead role.

0106.jpg - 1114x1600, 436.08K

...That's...

That's true...

How could I not have thought of that...?

Where *is* Yuu, anyway...?

He said he was going to go shopping for dinner.

He's...

Kinda late...

Yuu(-kun)...

0107.jpg - 1114x1600, 406.98K

...Me...

(And Taira-kun...)

Starring in a play...

Still...

I wasn't expecting Kazuki-san...

To say something like that...

0108.jpg - 1114x1600, 454.41K

She really is putting her all into thinking about how to help the department.

But...

There's no way we could ever beat the other departments in anything, is there.

I don't really think there's anything we can do about it.

They're not interested in normal people like us.

And now you're telling us to pull off a total one-eighty this year, after a fiasco like that...

I...

Do understand how everyone else feels, too.

0109.jpg - 1114x1600, 424.12K

The world *they* live in is just too different, you know.

Am I...

0110.jpg - 1114x1600, 256.22K

Going to go through...

The same thing again...?

Even then...

Me, as a lead...?

(*Twirl twirl twirl...*)

(AAAAAAH!)

(*Thmp...*)

0111.jpg - 1114x1600, 507.75K

Yaotome-san!

...What are you doing?

(Still as clumsy as ever, I see...)

Kazuki-sama...!

She said such a wonderful thing...!?

That's right bitches, it's a Sakura chapter!

0112.jpg - 1114x1600, 507.38K

I sleep

There's no rule that says normal people can't beat geniuses...

That's right! That's exactly right!

Y-

yeah...

But, even if it is...

...I see...

It's not easy, getting suddenly thrust into the spotlight, is it...?

Being in a leading role

can be pretty scary.

0113.jpg - 1114x1600, 443.33K

That's right...

Yaotome-san...

All this time...

She's been standing up against "genius"... Trying to become the star of her own story.

0114.jpg - 1114x1600, 415.69K

Doesn't it scare *you*, Yaotome-san?

You keep fighting, without ever giving up,

all so that you can stand on the stage with Miwa-san as equals...

I think it's amazing.

I-it's not *that* amazing...

I did lose my title match against her, you know.

I mean, compared to *you*...

0115.jpg - 1114x1600, 472.78K

Even though you're clumsy, and hopelessly bad at everything...

You trade blows with the sisters on a surprisingly equal basis, don't you?

I-I wouldn't say I *trade blows* with them...

I do get scared, too.

My hands are always trembling when I make my moves.

But, it doesn't matter.

And that's because there's someone whose side I want to be able to stand by.

0116.jpg - 1114x1600, 412.29K

I...

See...

0117.jpg - 1114x1600, 375.12K

It's the same for me.

I also want to be able to stand by someone else's side, as well.

0118.jpg - 1114x1600, 498.69K

Sakura will win

Yaotome-san.

I'm...

Going to go by dinner ingredients!

...Huh...?

Sorry I'm late!

Dinner will be ready soon!

Didn't he just get back...?

I don't get how he can start cooking so enthusiastically at the drop of a hat...

...And Sakura's here, too.

Y-Yuu invited me over...

Finished!

0119.jpg - 1114x1600, 450.25K

(*Don!!*)

(*Today's dinner - Heaping katsudon bowl)

Whoa!?

Th-that's one *powerful* dish...!

Kinda unusual dinner for us to have...

H-hold on.

Before we start, Yuu...

If...

You'd rather not appear in the Saika festival like that...

I'm sorry!

I didn't really take the nutritional balance into account today... (That's why everyone else has normal-sized servings!)

(...Listen to what people are saying to you...)

...It's just...

0120.jpg - 1114x1600, 426.43K

I...

Want to win, no matter what.

Thanks for the meal!

0121.jpg - 1114x1600, 433.89K

(...Oh-ho...)

Still...

A simple-minded fellow, aren't you...

("Katsu"-don!)

Note: "Katsu" can mean either "cutlets" or "to win".

Sidebar: Straightforward and clear-cut - The katsudon filled with a normal person's determination.

Thanks for reading!
Also, good news! Mikadono will have an anime-related announcement next week, just a few hours before the chapter comes out! I'm expecting a release date and a second trailer. How fortunate that I happened to take next week off from work...

Thanks, OP.

The older sister lost her standing...

Kazuki finally realized how much she messed up.

BOYMOM TORNADO!

The ARCHITECT

CHAPTER SAVED!!!!!!

The unstoppable dark horse.

Thx mate.
She looks like a yakuza betting house girl for the dice game.

Miwa at Animate

Here I am~

Time to cuck the sisters

Where's the Katsu sauce?

Kazuki's a big dum-dum

Expectations for what the anime will cover? I'm guessing up to Sakura's sleepover.

sakura's art.png - 628x538, 317.69K

I'm expecting everything up to Island namek

We start and end at the island namek and all the previous events are only communicated via brief flashbacks

A lot of people were clamoring for Yuu to get back to acting at the end of the island arc, but I think this kind of smaller-scale thing is actually a much better way for him to overcome his trauma.

Stop looking up Sakura's skirt, Yuu

I hope they stop at the sleepover but I think they're going to rush it all to hell and end with them visiting Yuu's mom's grave
