HARUMI KOZUKI
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!
Kitani-ku's, Mayumi Matsumoto.
Minamisan-ku's, Reiko Fujii.
Everything you've plotted against Zenchura
has been recorded in these files.
Once Queen Hibari learns of them,
you two'll be sent to Ranjuku.
RANJUKU ZENCHURA RE-EDUCATION CENTER
Minister Kasuga, we beg your pardon!
We'll never go against Zenchura again!
Show me proof.
If you're committed to Zenchura,
let's see you two crush the Asuka Group!
If you don't want to go to Ranjuku,
bring me Asuka's head!
FIRST ACT: BAIT
RUSE!
What'd you mean just now?
I live in a different world from both of you.
What!?
-Harumi! -Leave her alone!
-Asuka! -Yeah?
I'll be sure to pick better friends moving forward.
-Get back here! -Leave her alone!
Harumi Kozuki has officially parted ways with the Asuka Group.
It's our chance to make a move against them!
For Queen Hibari...
My decision is Queen Hibari's decision!
-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.
You two should just worry about your files.
Asuka.
-Another one. -Here.
-Thank you very much. -Thanks.
Harumi went to pay Zenchura's Kasuga a visit.
It's like she said, we both live in different worlds to her.
That's why I hate elite queens like her!
Finding peace makes it easy to forget the struggles of life.
Is that right?
I'll have a few words with Harumi soon.
-Find anything on her? -She's clean, ma'am.
Why have you come to see me?
I feel only you'd understand what I'm about to propose.
I'm interested in making,
Nishisan-ku's Taizan Academy a permanent neutral zone.
A permanent neutral zone?
Right.
Can we trust a single word she says?
Violence is not what moves people!
Asuka Group skillfully incorporated not just Nishisan-ku
but three other districts, thanks to a successful strategy!
-Shut it! -Wait!
Give us the room, you two.
Leave Nishisan-ku in my hands.
I'll show you change in Nishisan-ku.
Is Asuka on board with this?
With my wisdom and strength,
I'll oust Asuka from Nishisan-ku.
-Can you, really? -Yes.
I can manipulate them both as I please.
Your assistance is all I need, Minister Kasuga.
I might be able to help.
-Really? -However...
Considering your past betrayal,
trust won't come easy.
What should I do?
Prove that you've cut ties with the Asuka Group.
This is a wiretap. Take it.
Very well.
It's evident that someone as composed and smart as you
is in charge of Zenchura.
SECOND ACT: HOOK
Miko...
Come with me for a sec.
Your answer will determine how calm I'll stay.
Why did you pay Kasuga a visit?
You're not gonna answer?
I was going to tell you. I thought of having Nishisan-ku's
Taizan Academy become a permanent neutral zone.
A what?
A place free of Zenchura and the Asuka Group.
Simply, a conflict-free zone.
Where the heck did this idea come from?
Asuka Group saved that district from Zenchura, to begin with!
Will we still need the Asuka Group once we attain peace?
Zip it!
Don't ever show yourself in front of me again.
That figures...
You can only express yourself through violence, can't you?
Asuka Group is no longer your business!
Go ahead and join up with Zenchura!
Harumi and Miko have cut ties.
Only Asuka's left.
THIRD ACT: PULL
I've one request before granting you this neutral zone.
Bring me Asuka's gold coin.
Her gold coin?
That way, I'll trust you.
I'll give it a shot.
It'll be a real shame
to leave someone like you as a neutral entity.
You'd make a great staff officer if you joined Zenchura.
I might've considered it if you were
in the position of the great Hibari.
But it isn't my desire to work for an unknown figure.
She's quite the difficult figure.
I'm surprised you can keep up with her.
I sometimes find myself clueless about
what's going on in Queen Hibari's mind.
Minister Kasuga,
if you became Zenchura's leader, many people would come around.
And when that day comes, you'll be my Chief of Staff.
Stop the car.
Ouch!
-What's your problem!? -Repaying you back for earlier.
I thought you hated violence!
Kasuga's been a bad influence on you.
Asuka.
-What? -We need to talk.
Shall I come to your place later?
-Oh, Harumi! -Good evening.
-Come in! -Excuse me.
She's waiting upstairs.
I beg you, Asuka, I need your gold coin.
You can't ever trust Zenchura to keep their word!
But Minister Kasuga assured me this.
Enough of this!
No, for Nishisan-ku to become a neutral zone,
I require your gold coin.
So, please!
No matter how much you ask,
I won't hand over my precious coin to those heartless bastards!
What's the matter, Asuka? You mustn't fight.
You were so looking forward to Harumi's visit!
What's going on? You two are acting strange.
Yeah, I was looking forward...
To slapping this girl in the face!
Asuka!
Harumi!
If you want it so bad, you can have it!
Don't ever come here again!
FINAL ACT: LURED IN
Harumi!
Those girls from Minamisan-ku and Kitani-ku are after Asuka!
Harumi, what are you doing!?
You have her gold coin, don't you?
-This? -Without that, Asuka's toasted!
Are you just gonna walk away from her?
But I promised to hand this over to Minister Kasuga.
Stop saying that and just come on!
What are you doing!?
-Get back here, Asuka! -You bitch!
This is the end of the Asuka Group.
Kitani-ku, Mayumi Matsumoto!
Minamisan-ku, Reiko Fujii.
By order of Minister Kasuga.
-Asuka... -You're going down!
The rest of you, stand back!
They've already started!
You okay, Asuka!?
Harumi.
-Please stop them! -No can do.
Asuka must go down, by any means!
I brought her gold coin.
I'll keep my promise to you.
But I didn't say anything about sparing Asuka's life.
It can't be...!
This one's yours!
Harumi, the coin!
If Asuka falls, I won't only grant you Nishisan-ku,
I'll throw in Minamisan-ku and Kitani-ku.
You'll be free to do as you please in those neutral zones.
I can't bear that responsibility!
I don't possess any power.
Rest assured, those two,
Matsumoto and Fujii, will be at your disposal.
Asuka's fall will bring about more peace in the districts.
Asuka...
Harumi, the coin...!
Here...
If you can strike Asuka with that gold coin
I'll trust every word you've said.
Go on.
What is it? Can't shoot?
-Will you keep your promise? -I will.
If you can't do it, then everything's for naught.
Actually,
you'll be punished alongside the rest of the Asuka Group!
Shoot, Harumi!
Satisfy your hunger!
Harumi, was this your plan from the start?
Is this why you wanted my gold coin!?
No! You gotta trust me, Asuka!
How'd you expect me to do that!?
Have you turned into someone who just stabs others in the back!?
Forgive me!
Asuka!
Harumi!
These are the files of Matsumoto and Fujii.
Do as you wish with them.
We did it!
On my mark...
BEWARE OF CUTE SMILES FROM NAUGHTY CHILDREN
We did it!
Now those two are fully out of Zenchura!
Went off without a hitch!
No, we're not quite done yet.
EPILOGUE: HIBARI'S RESIDENCY
Asuka has taken over Kitani-ku and Minamisan-ku, is that right?
I deeply apologize
for failing to anticipate
Mayumi Matsumoto and Reiko Fujii's betrayal.
I can't trust a word coming out of your mouth.
WITH LOVE FROM EVERYONE AT THE ASUKA GROUP
Play the tape.
Yes, ma'am.
She's quite the difficult figure.
I'm surprised you can keep up with her.
I sometimes find myself clueless about
what's going on in Queen Hibari's mind.
My sincere apologies!
WATCH YOUR BRAVADO...
Hooray!
You went all out, too, Harumi!
Nothing's impossible for strategist Harumi!
But no more of these theatrics, okay?
Still, you were really into it.
Harumi's acting has me beat, though.
You should've seen your face when I had you in my sights.
Naturally! I couldn't bear it if you sliced up my dear face.
You really can't trust Harumi's aim, can you?
So that means that neither of you had faith in me?
I think we've angered Harumi.
My bad, Harumi.
By the way, did you really mean it
when you said we live in different worlds?
She sure did!
No, I didn't.
Nope!
-She did! -She did!
