As the adults basked in tranquility,
the young girls were plunged straight into the Sengoku period.
The national Bancho federation, Zenchura,
had launched a reign of terror and violence,
swiftly seizing control of 80 percent of the middle schools nationwide.
However, one girl rose against the tide, ready to crush their evil ambitions.
Her name was Asuka Kuraku.
Asuka Group, present!
THE GLORIOUS ASUKA GROUP!
ZENCHURA UNDERCOVER FEDERATION
A Kitten has escaped.
A Kitten?
Saotome Middle School, Maki Osanai.
Rumor has it that she's been losing friends
since becoming acquainted with you.
Spoiled child.
What happens now?
Tenshi.
I've come before you.
GREAT TEN ZENCHURA LEADER TENSHI
Tenshi.
Bring back Maki Osanai of Saotome Middle School.
As you wish, my lady.
Make sure you don't end up with any scratches on your face.
"A Kitten has escaped."
"Please find her."
What the...!?
HIBARI
So, Hibari's the head of Zenchura.
I'm still totally in the dark about her.
-Who is it? -Stop fooling around!
-Coming to a different school. -That's what's on your mind?
I came here just to inform you something
about Hibari.
Did you get anything on her?
"A Kitten has escaped. Please find her."
What does this have to do with Hibari?
Take a good look.
There's no address or number to contact.
This was an exchange of info between the Zenchuras.
So, you got the Great Ten Zenchura Leaders,
The Leaders, the Disciplinary Unit to watch those leaders,
and an Elite Guard Unit called Kittens.
Kittens?
Beautiful girls handpicked
from different middle schools, they're Hibari's followers.
We might get the scoop on Hibari by getting cozy with one of them.
So you know who this "Kitten" is?
Private Saotome Middle School, Maki Osanai.
What'd you think? I'm quite clever, aren't I, Asuka?
Asuka, hold on a second!
SAOTOME MIDDLE SCHOOL
That's the girl. Kitten, Maki Osanai.
No way!
-Is she really Zenchura!? -You'll see.
Does that kid have no manners!?
She's Hibari's Kitten.
Zenchura won't be happy if we mess with her.
-Let's tail her. -You stay, I'll go myself.
Come on, I want in!
You stick out like a sore thumb.
I do?
IN SEARCH OF THE MYSTERIOUS BEAUTY
I have to die.
And everyone will cry when I die...
including Hibari.
Miss.
You must live. Miss!
Give it back!
You have no idea what I'm going through!
This is no way to die.
Why is everyone picking on me!?
What did I do to deserve this!?
The reason will stay with you.
Damn you!
Dammit!
Why should I have to die!?
Keep that determination, and it'll all work out.
The bleeding stopped.
Hands aren't meant to end your life.
They're for grabbing hold of tomorrow.
You must rise up and grab the light once more!
-Life? -Right.
Life is radiant.
Are you willing to lend an ear?
I used to be an aphid.
APHID BULLIED CHILD
I was endlessly bullied...
That was until I met my savior.
Her name was Queen Hibari.
Did Hibari answer you?
Not at all.
-Not at all? -Right.
Queen Hibari, much like yourself,
weeps in silence.
Queen Hibari vowed to end the bullying, and she kept her word.
From that day forward, the torment stopped.
Those who dared to tease me faced the consequences of Zenchura.
But Queen Hibari's intimidation caused those close to me
to avoid me,
and everyone around eventually deserted me!
Being bullied hurts!
But the loneliness hurts even more!
When you're born, you're alone. You just forget.
And when you die, you'll be alone again.
WHEN YOU'RE BORN, YOU'RE ALONE...
AND WHEN YOU DIE, YOU'LL BE ALONE AGAIN
You're very strong.
Sure I am.
How does one get that strong?
Come. I'll show you how to fight.
Maki started to work together with Asuka Kuraku.
What!? Asuka Kuraku!?
What a troubling child, despite all the care I provided.
The world thrives on beautiful order.
Order is divine.
This order must be preserved.
EXECUTE MAKI...
This is where we'll start. Put on your tough face.
-Huh? -Just give them a serious look.
Get moving! And don't half-ass it.
What's your deal!?
Is there something on me?
Or are you putting on a tough face?
Fine by me.
I'll play along.
This is how you do it.
Asuka, that girl's a real delinquent!
It's less scary than death. C'mon.
What the hell?
Let go of me!
Seriously, what's the matter with this girl!?
Hands off! I mean it!
I see you got it.
Yay! I did it!
Asuka, what the hell is this about!?
I'm dropping her into a thousand valleys.
I'm turning a cat into a lion.
What a sight. But isn't she overly self-assured?
Yeah, having faced you once, the dove now fears nothing.
What do you mean by that?
I think I'll try them next.
Those girls are seriously trouble!
Don't worry about it.
Everything is experience. Go.
Right!
Don't mess with us!
Who're you staring at, you bitch!?
-She's really come a long way! -Yeah.
Maki, I have nothing else to teach you.
But I'd love for you to teach me more things!
You must journey alone.
Stand for yourself, and real friends will find their way back to you.
Okay!
See ya later!
"See ya later," my butt!
Weren't you gonna question her about Hibari?
You know, find out where she lives, her hobbies, her favorite actor.
What's the point of asking that?
We'll identify her type, and find a match to seduce her.
-You twerp. -Hey, I'm just throwing ideas!
I'm sure she had some useful information.
Without intel, we're powerless!
You're a bit soft-hearted, aren't you?
Dimwit! You're giving me goosebumps!
I want to keep her away from more problems.
Besides, I did learn something about Hibari.
What!? Did she say something!?
Yeah.
She said me and Hibari share common traits.
You and Hibari?
Perhaps deep within us.
Hey, Asuka!
Take a look at the cake I made!
C'mere, c'mere!
What do you think?
Looks good. I'll go wash my hands.
Listen to this, dear!
Asuka said that she'll eat the cake that I made!
Thank goodness!
Over time, the parent-child relationship will be repaired!
Coming!
Asuka, we've got big trouble!
The Zenchura captured Maki!
What did you say!?
Hibari's lackeys are gonna publicly execute Maki!
What!?
Asuka even managed to make a friend!
Isn't that just great!?
She's getting back on her feet!
The ceremony will now begin.
Saotome Middle School's Maki Osanai.
Once among Queen Hibari's elite,
you forsook Zenchura for selfish reasons
and conspired with Asuka Kuraku.
Will you repent for your sins!?
Wrong! While I did leave Zenchura,
I did it to forge my own path!
I'm not in cahoots with Asuka!
We mustn't waste any more time.
Tenshi, get ready for the execution!
Heavenly retribution!
Enough yapping!
Nishisan-ku...
Private Taizan Academy.
Asuka Group, present!
Alongside her soul mate, Miko.
Miko! Asuka!
Everyone, kill Asuka and her ally!
Private Taizan Academy, Student Body President.
Harumi Kozuki, ready to assist!
Harumi!
We'll do the alumni meeting later, okay?
Consider it a cover charge.
Only if it's your treat.
Harumi, your part is finished.
Asuka's so strong!
-I'll let you in on a little secret. -Huh?
Asuka used to be an aphid.
She was?
Ever heard the saying?
Angels going to hell are dubbed "demons."
What!?
Nice going. You totally rock the badass look now.
Asuka!
Are you Zenchura's Hibari!?
Queen Hibari, your car's waiting.
Queen Hibari?
Hold it right there!
Hibari! Hibari!
Hibari!
Beautiful...
You came outta nowhere and brought all the goodies!
Where were you hiding all this time?
Focused on my studies as a student should.
Conquering the world is only a side pursuit for me.
I can't stand the well-educated bunch.
I don't do well with dim-witted people myself.
Say what!?
Stop, that hurts!
It was still too small a force to confront
the mighty scale of Hibari's Zenchura.
But the one member Asuka Group was starting to draw in
like-minded comrades
struck by her way of life.

HIKARI ISHIDA: HARUMI
Love eludes me when we exchange smiles
Like a shirt askew by one button
In the building's shadow under the moon, our eyes meet
My heart a spinning roulette of words
A kiss like earnest confusion, romance
Smart, troublemaker, unrequited love
Tell him next time Won't you kiss me?
Never give up!
Get ready! Get a chance, lady! With the power of your dreams
Get ready! Get a chance, lady! Don't hesitate!
However, words once spoken, are now gone
W-What should I do?
