This is a story of love and friendship among girls
who challenge the evil Zenchura organization,
to battle for control
of middle schools across Japan.
Asuka Group, present!
THE GLORIOUS ASUKA GROUP!
What's the deal with this long ass line!?
Hey, why did you let them cut in line?
Well, I...
Letting them have their way will only worsen things!
Don't they teach you that at school?
Who's worsening things?
This boy's about to school you on it.
The hell's your problem!?
I don't have time to play with you guys!
MIKO'S BRIEFS ROMANCE
Why the hell are you following me!?
You're the one who got me into this mess!
What!?
Damn, that's no good!
Screw it, come with me!
Hide behind that stuff.
Natsuko!
Long time no see, Miko.
Miko?
I see you're finally back.
Nishisan-ku has changed.
Without someone asserting authority,
the filth will behave as if they own the place.
Clearly, we need a beautiful order led by the chosen few.
Go to hell!
We aren't interested in an order without a soul!
I don't know if you're an elite who studied abroad or what,
but you must've forgotten what's important!
What's important?
Today was just a brief hello.
I eagerly anticipate our next meeting.
Hey, are you from Hanazono Middle School, too?
You an elite, or something?
No, of course not!
'Cause I hate elites!
Sorry about that.
Take this handkerchief.
That rhythmic gymnast Natsuko Hyodo is Zenchura?
Yeah, just when we thought Nishisan-ku had been liberated.
What kinda person is this Natsuko girl?
Natsuko, you didn't join Zenchura too, did you?
You're the only one left.
What happened to your promise to fight them to the bitter end?
I'm not a Sukeban like you.
I'll do anything to seize glory within my grasp!
We're talking about Zenchura here! What glory!?
Silence!
You're the worst!
You call yourself a Rhythmic Gymnastics? An Elite?
You're the scum of the earth!
I stopped trusting people after that
and began my path as Miko, the Stray Sukeban.
You never know how people can change outta nowhere.
Soul mates never change, though.
Oh, it's a bit embarrassing when you put it out there so openly!
Excuse me...
Sorry to interrupt.
Oh! It's you!
To think that my dull face would be gifted such a lovely handkerchief.
It made me feel truly alive after 14 years of living.
Something about the way you speak is giving me the creeps.
But what I want to say is...
Come on, just lay it out already!
I think you're a wonderful person!
The hell's his deal?
-Look at you go! -Hey!
The scent of blossoming love lingers on this handkerchief.
Love!? It's all just a big misunderstanding on his part!
They say love begins with misunderstandings.
Are you speaking from experience?
You could say that. And plenty of it.
Forreal!?
Are you a precocious child?
I immersed myself in Harlequin romance novels,
studying them over and over.
Natsuko, how was your study abroad?
I've worked hard to show my gratitude to Queen Hibari.
Queen Hibari was overjoyed when you placed 5th
in the World Junior Championships.
It's a true honor.
Natsuko, if you wish, you can study abroad
in Bulgaria.
Queen Hibari.
In exchange...
This is about Nishi-ku, isn't it?
Establish Hanazono Middle School as a base.
HANAZONO MIDDLE SCHOOL
Miko!
Seriously, you never give up!
May I ask where are you going?
Keep your distance, I can't stand self-centered jerks like you.
That's not me!
I'd do anything for you, Miko.
How could I trust you?
Oh?
Miko, do you only trust yourself?
And nobody else at all?
Are you like, seriously up for doing anything for me?
Yes.
In that case, strip.
Strip, and run in the playground till I tell you to stop.
Can't do it, can you?
That's enough!
No, not yet...
I said, that's enough!
Then...
But this doesn't mean we're gonna start dating.
That said...
You're not half bad.
What's the matter!? Was it Natsuko!?
Keiko...
Miko!
Are you awake, Miko?
You're the only student going against Zenchura in this school.
Just like a year ago.
Wrong!
I'm sure there's someone...
with a flame of resistance burning in their soul!
It's no use.
Starting from today, Zenchura will reclaim Nishisan-ku,
using this school as a base of operations.
You dipstick.
Nishisan-ku has Asuka.
As well as Harumi.
Not only that...
They wouldn't stand a chance against
all of the Independent Sukebans!
Asuka Kuraku couldn't possibly mess with this school.
What!?
They hold all the students in their grasp.
Miko...
What are you doing? Come.
Who's this boy?
I caught him peeking at us.
Natsuko.
-Why don't we find out? -Find out what?
Whether I'm the only one fighting back.
You mean, this boy?
A man doesn't forget what he once said.
Are you acquainted with Zenchura?
Zenchura will not engage in anything unprovoked.
In fact, we're open to securing your full safety.
However, Miko insists you're retaliating against Zenchura.
My mind's on tomorrow's exam...
and nothing else.
In that case, get outta here and go study!
Good luck with that exam.
Miko, I see you haven't changed.
Still an idiot.
People naturally prioritize themselves.
Leading us to align our lives with a higher power.
True freedom only happens when you hit the top.
That's how the feeble get stronger.
That's what they call a bird in a cage.
Miko, you don't have to say it now.
But you think long and hard about your future.
A man doesn't forget what he once said.
Good luck with that exam.
What's this?
-What the hell is it!? -Forgive me!
I guess couldn't muster the courage to oppose Natsuko,
but my feelings for you are for real!
Here.
What's this?
A gift for you.
Is this what you call showing spirit?
Do you think doing this will earn my trust?
I just had to do something.
Perhaps this feeling I have isn't love...
But I still want us to be friends!
Idiot! Don't involve me in this.
Love can't blossom without trust.
Go home and study.
Miko!
I...
I will fight the Zenchura if you tell me to!
Oh?
Fine, I'll have you fight them.
But you must promise you'll fight even if you die!
I'll fight till my body wears out!
He's definitely gonna chicken out.
How can you trust that dude?
I challenge you to a duel for justice and love
at seven o'clock tomorrow morning
at the Asagiri Baseball Stadium. Mitsuo Tachibana.
You seem pretty determined.
I am!
What drives someone of your stature to do this?
-Is it for Miko? -I'm doing it to make friends.
-What's your weapon? -My own body!
He's seriously dense.
He did keep his promise to you, didn't he?
What's this!?
He's always rising again, no matter what happens.
Still, it looks painful.
It's over. I guess the dummy has learned his lesson.
Miko!
You really got a death wish, huh?
Wait!
-Miko! -We have to stop this.
He said he'd fight by himself, even if he died!
That's the promise he gave me!
Stop resisting, you're finished.
He's gonna die if we don't stop this!
Miko's enduring it.
Don't...
Don't get up anymore!
Mi...
...ko.
Mitsuo!
Mitsuo! Get up!
Open your eyes!
You fool, snap out of it,
or I'm gonna have to hit you myself!
Does this mean we can be friends?
We're more than that!
We're soul mates!
Mitsuo...
Stray Sukeban, Miko, present!
Alongside her soul mate, Asuka, present!
Miko, I couldn't get rid of you a year ago,
but today, it's straight to hell!
You're the one who perished a year ago!
What did you say!? I chose the path of the elite!
You fool.
What you exchanged for that crap
is what we all hold dear!
You threw away your soul!
That's the core of trust that binds people.
You may have those cronies, but you have no soul mates!
WHAT MATTERS MOST IS THE SPIRIT OF TRUST...
THAT CONNECTS US WITH PEOPLE
I've had it with your tripe!
Not another step!
Miko, after her!
Hey, Asuka!
It's a date!
I totally empathize with her.
She's been eagerly awaiting Mitsuo's discharge from the hospital.
Miko!
You okay?
What's so funny!?
Asuka!
