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!
KAZAMATSURI
I WITNESSED IT!!
Her father's currently in Ecuador on a two-year business trip.
Her mother visits her father for a week every six months.
If Kaze is to be attacked by Zenchura's assassins,
it'll be in the week when her Mom's away.
Man, I'm so bored...
It's all 'cause you let me speak up that I'm stuck in this mess.
You were the one who lost your cool.
Well, I couldn't keep quiet after that!
You think Hibari's gonna let you off the hook
after you betrayed Zenchura?
I bet she'll send some serious hitters after you.
But don't worry, we'll have your back.
If I need help from you guys, I'm worse than aphids.
Just because I left Zenchura, doesn't mean I joined you guys.
Get lost.
What's your problem, jackass!?
Let's see just how far that arrogance gets you!
Right, Asuka?
-Yeah. -Let's go.
She's unbelievable, really grinds my gears!
If I had a heads-up about this, I'd have packed a video game.
Three whole days on a stakeout, and nothing of note.
My intel is never inaccurate. Kaze will surely be targeted.
If Kaze isn't persuaded, Dragon
who cultivated Furinkazan at Ranjuku
will take matters into her hands.
FURINKAZAN, MAKE THEM START FROM SCRATCH...
-Bye-bye! -Bye-bye!
It might help if you were more discreet while tailing her.
She ain't gonna bother going back to a street she's covered.
I guess you got a point there.
"Not gonna go back," my ass!
I wasn't expecting that...
She's just going home.
The basis of a stakeout is patience. You have much to learn, Asuka.
Excuse me.
-Welcome. -This, please.
-What's that? -A wiretap.
By attaching this to Kaze's home phone,
we'll know who's calling every day.
It's like a cat waiting to catch a mouse.
For the sake of protecting Kaze from Zenchura.
-Who's gonna plant it? -That'd be your task, Miko.
You brought the equipment, you do it.
Fine, in exchange, you'll be the brains.
I could use some brain work myself.
Quadratic equation...
A, x, ground plus, p, x plus c 5, 0...
Two functions y equal a, x on ground...
Y equals minus p, x, minus c...
Okay, you win! I'll plant the thing!
One should always go to specialists.
Miko's very picturesque.
It's me, Kaze.
We really need to talk.
You listening, Kaze?
-Yeah. -I'm on my way, okay?
RANJUKU INSTRUCTOR DRAGON
You still have no intention of coming back to us?
You're insistent!
What could've made you turn your back against us?
Is that you, Kaze?
Asuka!
What are you doing here?
I'll be back.
What are you doing here?
Just passing through, is all. Small world, eh?
Who was that?
None of your business.
She looked older than your typical Zenchura goon.
-Is she after you-- -Stay away from me!
If you ever cross my path again,
Zenchura or not, I'll take you down!
Where's Miko?
About that...
What is she doing!?
She went to place the bug and just stayed...
Kaze's at the nearby supermarket!
She'll be home any minute!
-Ah! -What is it!?
-I forgot my pochette! -I'll go get it!
Found it!
Dammit!
It was open! Kaze?
Where are you, Kaze? You upstairs?
Kaze?
Who's there!? Is someone here!?
Hayashi!
If you ever cross my path again,
Zenchura or not, I'll take you down!
Asuka's taking a while.
-Ready, and... -Ready, and...
All right, I won. That's three ice creams.
Let's go one more time!
That's quite crude of you, Harumi.
What're you doing here?
I told you to stay away from me. You guys are no longer my concern.
Hi, and Yama are worried about you!
They kept calling over and over.
Why did you cut us off and warn us to stay away?
What's going on with you?
Zenchura sent an assassin after me.
-Who? -Dragon.
Ranjuku's instructor came to see you!?
You're lucky to be alive.
-Asuka cut our meeting short. -Asuka?
Since you've come all this way, take your time.
Yes?
Hayashi, I'll be in in 15 minutes.
Wait, Kaze, when did you get out?
What are you talking about?
-Yay! -So frustrating!
Heck yeah. Now I get to have a melon frappe too!
I hate it...
-What's wrong? -It's Asuka!
What's she doing?
Asuka!
Oh dear, Asuka Kuraku's in a precarious situation.
Don't be so heedless!
MIKO, YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK!!
You think she's mad?
Of course! You should've come back right away.
TAKE CARE AND BEST WISHES!!
Get outta here with that!
DO SOMETHING!
But what can we do?
WE'RE AT A LOSS
ARE WE STILL SOUL MATES!?
She's totally pissed.
We need to send a reassuring message to Asuka.
NO WORRIES, WE'RE STILL SOUL MATES
Damn you, Miko! You got me into this mess!
Hayashi, the bath's ready for you.
Bingo! I just need to keep Kaze glued to the phone.
Paper.
There's no paper left!
Paper, paper!
Asuka's such a blockhead.
How can we ring up Kaze to check if Asuka's around!?
-Right, Harumi? -Indeed.
Asuka's not so bright...
Wait, we got it all wrong!
This is Kazamatsuri.
NOW!
We're from the Bureau of Investigations.
We thank you for your time.
Sure...
I have a few questions I'd like to ask you.
We're currently researching changes in Japanese diet,
and we're curious about your daily food intake.
Attagirl!
-Miko! -Don't blow a fuse, okay!?
That was the worst experience I've ever had!
Now you know exactly how thieves feel.
I wasn't looking to know!
However, we did find out one interesting thing.
-What's that? -Kaze's a surprisingly good cook.
"Tonight's side is salad and spicy stir-fried shredded meat."
How can that information help us?
We can become buds and have her treat us.
All right, your turn.
Don't forget, you owe me a chocolate parfait.
Give it here...
This is Kazamatsuri.
If you don't want harm done to Hayashi,
come to Nishi-ku's abandoned factory.
What did you do to Hayashi!?
Nothing at all... yet.
Kaze's going completely naked against her!
Naked?
Then, the cops will catch her before reaching the factory!
Lamebrain!
Going naked isn't a good idea...
What's the matter with Kaze? It's just so pathetic.
You think so?
I can't believe we did an all-day stakeout for her.
-I can see it. -See what?
All I see is Kaze on her knees.
I see real courage on display.
She's changed, no longer engaging in petty conflicts.
Even if it sometimes gives the impression of weakness.
TRUE COURAGE DOESN'T CONSIST OF SQUABBLING...
OVER TRIVIAL MATTERS
How unsightly of you, Kaze.
I thought I taught you better than this.
Are you up for taking me down?
Or will you retreat to Ranjuku?
It boils down to one of these two outcomes.
You can't get through to Kaze's mind!
Asuka Group,
will just be visiting today.
Hey, you're supposed to say "present."
It's fine.
I'm sure Kaze doesn't want us to mess with her either, right?
Come back to Ranjuku.
In that case,
I'll bring you back to Ranjuku through my fists!
This is Yama's power.
This is Hi's.
Kaze, you can do it!
What's this?
Hey!
This is Hayashi's.
She's a Furinkazan all by herself.
This isn't good. She'll get killed!
Kaze!
Kaze, fly!
Hey.
Treat us to some of your cooking someday.
If possible, stir-fry shredded meat in a spicy sauce,
with three sprinkles of salt instead of two.
I love it very spicy.
Nevermind that! See you later.
You're always welcome.
She's a newfound soul mate, isn't she?
I might spill the beans.
Who snuck into Kaze's house?
Miko!
You are the cause of that!
Miko, hold it!
That hurt! Hey!
Say, Miko, I saw you putting on Kaze's outfit
when you went into her home!
-The cat's outta the bag. -Huh!?
-I knew it! -What the hell!?
