SAKURA- SAAAAAN! LET'S GOOOOOO!!

Oh! That bread's from Cactus, right?! The bread there tastes great, even when cold!!

This bread is really good!!

IF YOU RE- ALLY WANNA GO THAT BADLY, THEN YOU CAN GO BY YOUR- SELF!

SAKURA- SAAAAN! HURRY!!

CHAPTER 3: FANATIC

THIS IS IT! THE BOFURIN HEAD- QUARTERS!

WHEEEEEE!

I'M SO EXCITED!!

DON'T GO SWINGING THIS KIN- DA STUFF AROUND TOWN! YOU UNDER- STAND...

...WHAT DOING THIS SHIT GETS YOU, RIGHT?!

...BY BOFURIN, WITHOUT EXCEP- TION!!

WHO CAUSES PAIN!

WILL BE PURGED...

WHO BRINGS DESTRUC- TION!

HERE, I'LL FIND A BUNCH OF PEOPLE...

...JUST LIKE THEM...

SAKURA- SAN! I FOUND IT!

WHAT NOW...?

THE CLASS LISTS!

LET'S SEE...

WHAT IS THIS OLD-FASHIONED SIGN?! IT'S LIKE I GOT STUCK IN A PERIOD DRAMA!

I WONDER WHO ELSE WILL BE THERE?!

HARUKA SAKURA

YAY! WE'RE IN THE SAME CLASS, SAKURA- SAN!!

AH, I-I GET IT! OKAY! ENOUGH!!

YOU KNOW THEM? HUH?! SUO-SAN! AND KIRYU- SAN!! AND EVEN TSUGEURA- SAN!!

BUT THEY'RE ALL SUPER- DUPER AMAZ- ING PEOPLE! FIRST OFF, THERE'S SUO- SAN, WHO... NO, NOT AT ALL! ENOUGH! I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT!

WH-WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, SAKURA-SAN? IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHO'S GOING TO BE IN CLASS WITH...

DON'T GET SO EXCITED JUST FROM LOOKING AT THE DAMN ROSTER.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO WE'RE STUCK IN CLASS WITH.

...US...

HWAH?!

Hey. What is it now?

WHAT ?!

NO WAY... THIS IS BAD... SERIOUSLY BAD...

...WE ENDED UP WITH HIM?!

WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THAT EX- CITEMENT?

DON'T TELL ME YOU WANNA GO HOME NOW, AFTER COMING ALL THIS—

PLEASE BE NICE TO EVERYONE IN CLASS...

SAKURA-SAN, CAN YOU PROMISE ME SOMETHING?

HUH? ARE YOU JOKING?

I-I-I'M SERIOUS!!

EVERYONE IN BOFURIN ARE PEOPLE OF THE TOWN WHO GATHERED TO PROTECT THEIR HOME.

LISTEN, SAKURA- SAN...

IT WOULDN'T BE SURPRISING TO FIND SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T THINK HIGHLY OF THOSE FROM OUT OF TOWN...

ボウフウリン

...ESPECIALLY IF THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'D COME HERE...

1 - 1

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO FIRST ESTABLISH THAT YOU'RE NOT HERE TO HARM THE TOWN!

YOU NEED THEM TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT AN ENEMY OF BOFURIN!

SO, PLEASE, JUST...

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHY?!

WARMUPS.

I DUNNO WHAT KINDA GUYS ARE BEHIND THAT DOOR. I GOTTA BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING.

SAKURA-SAN, YOU'RE AN OUTSIDER TO EVERYONE HERE!

IF THEY MISUNDER- STAND, THEN THIS WHOLE CLASS...OR, RATHER...

ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO WHAT I'M SAYING?!

...THIS WHOLE SCHOOL WILL TREAT YOU LIKE AN ENEMY!!

I DON'T CARE IF THEY THINK OF ME AS AN ENEMY.

HUH?

SO, DON'T GO AROUND PICKING FIGHTS! OR MAKING THOSE FISTS!

OW, OW, OW!! IT HURTS!! THEY'RE GLARING HOLES INTO ME!!

HMM...

NOT BAD...

HELLO, THERE.

YOU MUST BE SAKURA- KUN.

AND WHAT OF IT? WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?

AAAH!

I'M SO SORRY! HE'S JUST A BIT EX- CITED!

FORGET ABOUT HIM! BUT YOU...!

DON'T DO THAT!!

...THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!! YOU'RE...

WITH THE BLACK HAIR AND BLACK EYEPATCH...THE LONG TASSEL EARRINGS...

LEONARDO DICAPRIO.

Nice to meet you.

NO, I'M JAPANESE. WHAT ?! SERI- OUSLY ?! YOU'RE FROM OVER- SEAS?! Errr, English... I,,uhh, am...

I THOUGHT HE'D BE MORE ALOOF AND COLD...

I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS SUCH A JOKER...

HA HA HA... UHH...

BY THE WAY, THIS EYEPATCH IS A SEAL TO KEEP AN ANCIENT CHINESE SPIRIT INSIDE...

YOU'RE... SUO-SAN, RIGHT...?

YUP. EVERYONE CALLS ME THAT.

WASN'T IT BECAUSE OF A PAST ACCI- DENT...?

FURIN HIGH SCHOOL FIRST YEAR, CLASS ONE HAYATO SUO

YUP! THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE SAYS!

WHAT THE HELL?! HE'S JUST ALL TALK!

WAIT, NO! AMONG THE FIRST YEARS, HE'S ACTUALLY—

SAKURA- KUN...LET'S TALK ABOUT YOU...

WELL, THAT'S ENOUGH ABOUT ME.

UHH...

SHOOT...

PEOPLE FROM OUT OF TOWN...

...REALLY ARE TREATED AS OUTSIDERS...

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO BECOME ONE OF US...

I HEARD ALL ABOUT IT! WOW, YOU'RE AMAZING!

YOU WERE THE STAR OF THAT BRAWL ON MAIN STREET YESTERDAY, RIGHT?!

?!

YESTERDAY? ON MAIN STREET?

YOU GUYS HEARD ABOUT THE FIGHT WITH SPALTIPS YES- TERDAY ON MAIN STREET, RIGHT?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SUO?

HIRAGI-SAN AND THE OTHERS WENT TO STOP THEM, BUT THE GUY WHO SHOWED UP FIRST TO PROTECT THE TOWN WAS...

WHO THE HELL IS THAT GUY?

D-D-D-D- DID YOU REALLY, SAKURA- SAN?!

...SAKURA- KUN!!

I HEARD HIRAGI-SAN WENT, SO I KNEW IT'D GO WELL. I DIDN'T LISTEN TO THE REST.

SAME.

HUH...

THERE WAS A GUY SHE DIDN'T RECOGNIZE IN THE FURIN UNIFORM.

MY GRANDMA WAS THERE, APPARENTLY.

WHOA, SERI- OUSLY?

I KNEW SOMEONE NEW MOVED INTO TOWN, BUT... WAY TO GO! YOU WERE ALREADY PROTECTING THE TOWN BEFORE CLASSES EVEN STARTED!

HUH? UHH... N-NO, I WAS...

AT ANY RATE, SAKURA-SAN WON'T BE SEEN AS AN ENEMY TO BOFURIN, AT LEAST...

L-LOOKS LIKE WE MANAGED SOMEHOW...

Sakura- san, nice one!!

...THINGS WILL GO OKAY WITH HIM, TOO...

AND, I'M SURE...

BUT HEY, WHY DID YOU EVEN COME TO THIS DINKY TOWN?

I'M HERE TO BECOME THE TOP OF THE SCHOOL.

WUH?

HUH?

NOOOOOOOO! WAAAAAH!

WHOA!

N-N-NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT HE MEANT!!

HE DOESN'T MEAN THAT HE'S GONNA BEAT ANY- ONE UP!

OR PHYSICALLY HURT ANY- ONE!

YOU SHUT UP!!

YES, I DO.

HE'S THE MOST DANGER- OUS GUY IN OUR GRADE...

SAKURA- SAN! YOU CAN'T! NOT WITH HIM!!

ACTUALLY, NO...I MEAN, THE WHOLE SCHOOL!!

KYOTARO SUGISHITA!

I LIKE... DANGER- OUS...

HEY... SUGISHITA...

GREAT.

I'LL KILL YOU!

WHEW, THAT WAS A GOOD ONE...

PHEW...WE ALMOST GOT CAUGHT IN THAT.

HUH...? UHH... WHEN DID WE...?

I EXPECT NO LESS FROM FURIN HIGH.

NOW WE'RE TALKIN'.

...WHEN YOU'RE IN FRONT OF SUGISHITA- KUN...

BUT, SAKURA- KUN...

WHAT'S SO NICE ABOUT THIS...?

OOOH, NICE! SPARKS ARE FLYING!

...YOU SHOULDN'T SAY YOU'RE GONNA "BE- COME THE TOP OF THE SCHOOL."

YOU ASS- HOLE...

WHAT'S MORE, HE IS EXTREMELY LOYAL TO OUR CURRENT TOP... ...TO THE POINT... ...WHERE HE WORSHIPS HIM. IT'S A BIT MUCH TO EVEN WATCH.

SUGISHITA-KUN VISITED HERE OFTEN WHEN HE WAS IN JUNIOR HIGH.

HIS PASSION AND TALENTS WERE RECOGNIZED, AND HE WAS THE ONLY PERSON WHO WAS ALLOWED TO SAY HE WAS PART OF BOFURIN EVEN BEFORE HE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.

HE'S A FANATIC...

...FOR THE GUY CURRENTLY AT THE TOP.

ME? WHY DON'T YOU STOP THEM THEN?

DON'T JUST STAND THERE AND STIR THE POT! STOP THEM!!

AND HERE YOU ARE, SAYING YOU'LL USURP HIM...

WE CAN'T!!

IF YOU DON'T HURRY AND DO SOME- THING, THAT OUTSIDER'S GONNA...

...GET KILLED!!

AH, SHIT...

THAT KID'S UN- LUCKY...

TOO BAD, YOU MISSED.

A FANATIC, HUH...?

SO, SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T THINK FOR HIMSELF...

...AND CAN'T DECIDE ANY- THING ON HIS OWN, RIGHT?

AS IF I'D LOSE...

...TO A GUY LIKE THAT!
