-I want to eat a crepe!
-Wasn't that maid cute?

Yeah! Do you want to go again?

Oh, wow!

1-1 MAID CAFE ITAN

-Welcome back, Master!
-Welcome back.

Komi!

Help over here!

Maid Cafe Itan
now has a fifteen-minute wait!

-THIS IS TADANO.
-Najimi's planning something devious.

Right this way! Welcome home, Master!

Step right up! Best deal in town!



Master! Right this way!

Hello young masters!
We have many maids to choose from!

How about it? Just a drink! Well?

Thank you very much!

Get your discount tickets!

Have fun with our fabulous maids!

We have lots of special services!

Hey kid,
want the experience of a lifetime?

A cool grand will get you everything!

And a little something on the house!

We have cold towels!
It was hot outside, wasn't it?

Has Najimi done this before?

60-MINUTE WAIT

Where are the towels?



-Take an order here!
-Okay!

We could do more.

More what?

Komi!

Go out the classroom,
walk about a hundred meters and come back!

This pancake is…

Oh…

5 MINUTES LATER

Ah.

More customers?

It's the Komi Snowball Method!

When Maid Komi walks,

she naturally draws people towards her.

Alright. That'll up our turnover rate.

Yes Maid Boss!

What's with this marketing genius…

Rock, paper, scissors!

Look over there!

-Nooo!
-Games with a maid!

-300 tan per game!
-LOOK OVER THERE!

Take a photo with a maid! 500 tan.

Walk with a maid!
30 minutes for 1,000 tan.

-Oh!
-Whoa!

And now!

Get slapped by a maid, 2,000 tan per slap!

Woo-hoo!

-Tadano! Look at this!
-STEREOTYPICAL NEW MONEY

My business is a roaring success!

Next is hand reflexology for 4,000.

Touch a thigh for 5,000. Let's go for it!

Yes, Owner!

I just can't stop smiling!

-Osana.
-Yes.

-One strike.
-Yes ma'am.

After that, they offered refunds
over the PA system.

Okay!

Now we'll advertise the maid cafe
the legal way!

This worries me.

It'll be fine!

Komi, you're tired, right?

Let's go see the other events!

Our maid outfits will be
great advertising!

Oh.

This too is a gigantic
Komi Snowball Method.

-Nobody's noticed.
-REPENTING

Look at that sign on your chest.

WELCOME TO ITAN FESTIVAL

SPIN SPIN

Komi drill!

1-4 SCARY HAUNTED HOUSE

Oh! It's a haunted house!

Let's go in!

NOD

-NOT A FAN OF SCARY THINGS
-You don't have to if you don't want to.

-Group of three coming!
-Huh?

It's pretty dark!

What's going to happen?

STARTLE

BEWARE OF BEARS

-STARTLE
-Bears?

-KONNYAKU
-SPLAT

It's just a block of konnyaku.

Here they come.

-Let's do this!
-SCARER: SHIZUKA ODOKA

Oh.

Aah! It's Komi!

What should I do?

She's the god of our school!

Is it really okay to scare Itan's icon?

I don't want Komi to hate me.

But… But scaring people is my job.

I'm not even that scary.
Komi might not even be satisfied.

Alright, I'll scare her!

I can do it!

-Now! Right now!
-KOMI AND THE GANG HAVE LEFT

EXIT

Wow, that was fun!

Um, are you alright?

Oh, they're doing Rooftop Confessions!

Let's go see!

-WHAT IS "ROOFTOP CONFESSIONS"?
-Huh? You've never heard of it?

Students go on the roof
and yell secrets or confessions of love.

Watanabe! I love you!

I don't love you back!

-I NEVER KNEW.
-You've never heard of it?

Huh.

Let's try it!

Here we go again.

There's still more to come
on Rooftop Confessions!

The next confessor is…

DECIDES TO WATCH FOR NOW

From Class 1-1!

Ren Yamai!

Oh! It's Yamai!

Yamai!

Today, I will…

confess…

my love to someone special!

Who is it?

Komi from Class 1-1! I love you!

With marriage in mind,

please go out with me!

SQUEE!

ROOFTOP CONFESSIONS

Oh Komi, shy as always!

Well then!

Next is the person
who cleanly ignored that confession!

It's Komi from Class 1-1!

Go on and promote the maid cafe!

Here we go!
Get ready for something shocking!

-She's not coming.
-Huh? Not coming?

-What's happening?
-Wait! Just believe!

-POP!
-A MAID! KOMI! AHHHH!

KOMI OUR GOD

Hey! Komi's going to say something!

-Listen to the voice of our god!
-Quiet!

QUIET TIME

Meow…

-Meow?
-TRIED TO SAY "MAID."

M-Meow…

A cat?

-And she's dressed like a maid.
-Komi…

-Cat…
-Maid…

Komi…

Komi's a cat maid?

YEAH!

Let's go see!

ABOUT TO FAINT FROM NERVES

ROOFTOP CONFESSIONS

That was great, Komi!

Our advertising plan was a huge success!

Don't push Komi too hard.

Making embarrassing memories
is what culture festivals are all about!

You're evil.

Was it fun?

Where to next?

Oh! Najimi.

We're in the meditation club.

-We're doing a demo.
-MONK WHACKS AWAY EVIL

WHACK

Your teacher said
we should make you do it.

-Demo for one!

Wait! Wait!

-AHHH

-Wow!
-So pretty!

So beautiful!

Hm? What's wrong?

-PEOPLE ARE STARING MORE THAN USUAL
-Ah, I suppose so.

You're wearing such a cute outfit.

FIDGET

EMBARASSED

-SLAP
-Ow!

W-What was that?

It's amazing how you can be
so perceptive and yet so dense.

Huh?

Since we're here,
why don't you walk around with us, Komi?

Us?

Huh? Kaede was just here…

-Hm? Oh, there she is.
-OTORI GOES AT HER OWN PACE.

Why is she in there?

There are so many fun things to do!

Yeah!

Well, let's go!

it seems like a band is playing.

Oh cool! Let's go see.

H-Heavy metal?

Will Komi be alright?

Um, this band is pretty cool, hey?

Why is my heart beating like this?

This brings an end to the
Itan High School Culture Festival events.

All students, please gather in the gym.

Do you want to hear
who won the grand prize?

Yeah!

The coveted grand prize winner

of the 23rd Itan Culture Festival is…

Class 1-1 Maid Cafe Itan!

Yay!

Or it would have been.

But due to a student's
inappropriate profiteering,

the grand prize has been withdrawn.

Yeah, but.

We all prepared together,

eating rice balls,

working hard towards the grand prize.

We had fun, right?

Don't gloss over it!

Too bad we couldn't get the grand prize.

Huh?

-BUT IT WAS FUN.
-HEART SQUEEZE

What?!

That reaction's totally different
from what I got!

In the end, they're smiling together.

What a great class! 200 degrees!

Now what you've been waiting for!

The Itan Post-Festival Dance Party!

Enjoy a night of sophistication,
moving to our soulful tunes.

There is a buffet as well,
so help yourself.

-Komi, dance wi--
-Shall we dance?

Don't cross me!

Don't worry about them.

-WANTS TO JOIN IN.
-Komi's fired up.

-BUT SHY ABOUT BEING WATCHED.
-Now she's cooled down.

Why is she looking at me?

Huh? What? Should I ask her to dance?

But…

I'm sure she's not interested
in dancing with me.

Right?

Do…

Do you… want to dance?

-Komi?
-Dancing?

-NEITHER CAN DANCE
-Who's that girl with her?

I guess we should hold hands…

Pardon me.

Are we…

-Are you dancing?
-Augh!

Let me join in!

Huh?

No way! Komi's dancing!

In preparation for this day,

I learned the theme, "Endless World end"
from the hit anime,

The Lost Absolute Realm

My perfection will make you shiver!

"FIXED-POINT OBSERVATION"

PRELUDE 15 SECONDS

3 p.m. on the roof

I installed a fixed-point camera

Nobody's listening…

It… It hurts…

It's not like I care if they listen…

Still… It hurts.

I'll start my fixed-point observation

You know, searching for the criminal

Going day drinking

Was the greatest idea

My shaking hands

Have already stopped

I'm an alcoholic

Trying to see something invisible

I installed a long-range camera

Sprinkle in some noise

Several whatsits were born

You know, whatsit, what are they

I can't remember the word

The mysterious word "whatsit"

You and I thought about that

Oh yeah, a-hah

-Yay!
-I'm so embarrassed.

I'm next.

Komi, let's sing together!
You too, Tadano!

Huh, me? I just sang.

C'mon!

Let's do it!

Yay!

It's starting, Komi! Tadano!

Yeah, but…

I don't have a mic.

That's okay!

Look! It's starting!

When a person

has extreme social anxiety,

they struggle to communicate with others.

Bear in mind.

FOR KOMI

They only struggle to form connections.

-It doesn't mean that…
-TADANO, NAJIMI, AGARI, YAMAI, YADANO

-They don't want to.
-NAKANAKA, ONIGASHIMA, KISHI

CHIARAI, SONODA, SHINOBINO, ONEMINE, OTORI

THIS IS DEDICATED TO EVERYONE

WHO EVER FELT THEIR CHEST TIGHTEN
WHEN TRYING TO COMMUNICATE.

BONUS SCENE

Ready? Action!

THE END

-Komi! That's from last time!
-The next page!

It's the other one this time!

Yeah!

TO BE CONTINUED

L…

-Uh, Komi?
-Shh!

-There are only 24 seconds left!
-Just believe.

Um…

Let's…

Let's keep…

on…

being…

friends.
