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!
No matter if life appears bright or dark,
I shall never condemn it.
The glow's brilliance and the storm's fury
are merely diverse expressions within the same vast sky.
Sweet or bitter,
let fate be our nourishing feast.
It's nice to get away from the city once in a while, eh, Asuka?
-Right! -It really eases the mind!
Rock, paper, scissors!
-Good luck! -Good luck!
The mountain air is just the best!
-Miko! -You can do it, Miko!
Are you guys even human!?
That's human perseverance!
Huh?
Thunder!?
My coin! No, I can't!
Asuka! Your earrings!
My luggage!
-What is that? -Some kinda Thunder God?
"Captain, that is illogical."
ASUKA CONQUERS TIME
I'll take it from here, go back to town!
What the hell is going on?
That thing's not human!
It's a cyborg programmed to kill you!
I'll start with your body!
A-SU-KA.
Asuka?
I'm Asuka Kuraku III. I came from the future to save you.
Oh, no!
What the hell just happened?
In a foolish move, Asuka is going on a picnic in the woods,
accompanied by some of Nishi-ku's Sukebans.
Leave them be.
We mustn't be hasty in our quarrels with Asuka.
I have a feeling this'll go on for generations.
Go for it, Eri!
All right, I, Eri Aikawa, am off!
I'd like to start a first-love declaration corner here!
A precocious child!?
I, Miko, will start!
My first love was in the fifth grade, with a neighborhood troublemaker kid.
That encounter was...
-stellar. -Stellar?
I love the stars.
But we didn't live in a house that could afford a telescope,
so I would air out those grievances to him every day.
Your turn, Asuka.
Give me a break. I've never even been in love with anyone.
You're serious?
Asuka, the PE teacher, Mr. Hara!
-I bet you liked him! -You're ticking me off.
Oh, your big ears are turning bright red!
Precocious child!
I've no intention of ever getting married, you know.
People who say that are always the first to get married!
It's getting late, we better call it a day.
Whoa, not so fast!
The night is still young, and Eri will be back soon.
Look, I brought fireworks for everyone!
That was Eri!
Ready, and...
Asuka!
And the beast shows up!
What the hell are you!?
Back off!
A-SU-KA.
Run! I can't let you die!
You bitch!
Asuka!
C'mere!
-Asuka! -Asuka!
Asuka!
She was a nice kid, despite her face.
And what's wrong with my face?
Hey, you're still breathing! You fiend!
It's a world a bit further into the future.
Zenchura faced near-destruction after clashing
with the Asuka Group.
So they pulled out all the stops.
An assassin from the future was sent to kill Asuka Kuraku I.
They want to change the history of the end of the 20th century.
Are... you sure you're all right?
You don't gotta believe me, but I'll protect you.
But isn't she already dead from all the shots?
That thing's a cyborg. She'll be back in half a day.
All right, fine. I'll take care of her later.
You don't know what you're dealing with!
-Sure, I do. -You blockhead.
-Nosey. -Fiend.
-Peanut. -What did you say!?
-I'm taller than you! -A peanut shouldn't talk so big.
-You're adorable. -Don't you touch me, you brat!
This is no time to bicker!
Are you a friend or foe?
I can't let you die, no matter what!
I won't let anyone decide whether I live or die.
You have an obligation to stay alive!
What obligation?
The "III" in my name isn't just a title.
You're my ancestor.
Asuka, when did you give birth to such a big kid!?
-There's no way! -Not her kid, grandkid.
Granny.
Granny...
That's enough joking around.
How can that be the case if I never plan to get married?
Oh, who are you kidding, you precocious child!?
Are you saying I'll be single for life?
What happened to this guy and that guy?
You just can't reason with these two.
Anyway, let's head back to town for now.
I'm not sure if that thing really came from the future or not,
but it's dangerous and it's after me.
-Asuka! -Asuka!
The suspension bridge has fallen!
-Was it her? -No doubt.
We can't go back to town now.
The only way back to town
is to cross this mountain.
I'll hold that thing here. All of you hurry to the mountains.
But at this rate, we'll all be killed.
-I'll stay put. -Asuka!
You can't! It's my duty to keep you alive.
I'm that thing's target, remember?
Sticking with me puts everyone at risk.
Right?
I don't like it!
I can't go back without you, Asuka!
I'll be fine.
I have an obligation to stay alive, isn't that right?
Miko!
Is Asuka gonna be fine going up against that monster?
I think she'll be just fine.
Ever heard of a time paradox?
If Asuka dies in the year 1988,
her grandkid wouldn't be born, and be here to help her.
In short, the fact that her grandkid is with us
means that she'll make it out okay.
I don't get it!
All right, come...
What if there's two alternate realities?
One where Asuka survives and another where she doesn't.
That's also a possibility.
Only one shot left.
I hear that the future isn't that otherworldly.
I can't believe a middle-schooler is carrying that around.
It's not too far from your weapon.
Kids always gotta fend for themselves to survive.
No way!
Let's use this!
We did it!
-You gotta be kidding! -You gotta be kidding!
Tell me you have a plan.
That!
It'll come in handy.
-What? -Follow me.
This is the one.
What?
"Cut in half by lightning"!?
This is tomorrow's newspaper!
Yep.
Lightning will strike this tree at some point today.
Take a look.
I was trying to draw that thing out.
But my plans got pushed back 'cause you guys decided to stay.
-But can we still make it? -Ask the heavens.
A-SU-KA!
I'll finish you both off in one fell swoop!
-Dammit! -We're not gonna make it!
-Do gold coins conduct electricity? -Of course!
Now!
We did it...
What a persistent bitch.
What's the matter?
It melted.
This has been passed down to me for generations.
It was yours to begin with, so here.
I'll take that one.
-Asuka! -Asuka!
-Are you alive!?
You've made good soul mates.
Yeah.
When viewed in this light,
your claim about being from the future
doesn't seem so far-fetched.
Perhaps you know the future of all of us?
You guys are actually in the Japanese history books.
Harumi Kozuki.
-You're-- -Hold it!
I refuse to live my life confined to the words in a book.
Life's thrill lies in not knowing what comes next, right?
LIFE ISN'T A TIMETABLE, IT'S A THRILLING GAME...
WHEN THE FUTURE'S UNCERTAIN
I suppose,
philosophically speaking, you two do bear a resemblance.
It's about time I head back to where I came from.
Was a pleasure meeting you.
Take care of yourself, Asuka.
The future can change depending on your feelings.
I'm proud to be your descendant.
Maybe it was all just a daydream.
We surely were somewhere between dreams and reality.
Kinda like The Twilight Zone.
Whoa, check it out!
It's a picture of Asuka's wedding!
-Who's that beside her? -Could it be...?
-Her future husband!? -What!?
PERHAPS IT WAS A DAYDREAM
THEY HAD IN THEIR YOUTH,
BUT IN THE SUMMER OF 1988, THESE GIRLS' FUTURES
WERE FILLED WITH ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
Idiots!
-You saw it! -You saw it!
I didn't see a thing!
Congrats on the wedding!

Ka-boom! Doki, doki!
Asuka, sneaking in like a ninja is so thrilling, isn't it?
Shut up, you really don't have a TPO, do you?
What's a TPO?
Oh, forget it.
Nevertheless, that Ranjuku instructor seems very destructive.
Hey, what are you guys doing!?
Eek!
