Hajime:

Oh, good morning, Tomoya-kun~♪

Tomoya:

Hajime? I’m usually the one who gets here later since I commute by train, so it’s weird to see you arrive after me. Did you oversleep?

Hajime:

Oh no. I was just putting in some morning practice for the Tea Club.

Tomoya:

Huh? You have morning practice?

Hajime:

I do. Well, it’s more of something I decided to do on my own, for practice’s sake. The sooner I can brew tea that’s just as delicious as the Student Council President’s, the better!

Tomoya:

You’re really putting your heart into this. Although if you ask me, the tea you make is already plenty delicious.

Hajime:

Ehehe. Once I get even better, you’ll be able to taste the difference for sure~♪

Wait, don’t you have morning practice, Tomoya-kun?

Tomoya:

Mmm, not for now. Though whenever we’ve got a big performance coming up, then that’s when we’ll squeeze some in.

I’d be perfectly happy to spend the entire day with Hokuto-senpai from the moment I get to school, but having to face that Masked Pervert first thing in the morning sounds...absolutely exhausting.

Mitsuru:

Tomo-chan, found ya! Goood morning! ☆

Tomoya:

Whoa! Don’t body slam into me all of a sudden like that—either of us could get hurt!

Hajime:

Good morning, Mitsuru-kun. I see you’re as full of energy as ever~♪

Mitsuru:

Ahaha! If I wasn’t full of energy, then I wouldn’t be me!

Tomo-chan, I wanted to give this back to ya!

Tomoya:

Huh? Oh, the manga I lent you yesterday? What did you think? Any good?

Mitsuru:

Yeah, I got so hooked that I read it all in one go! Thanks for lendin’ it to me, Tomo-chan~

Look at the main character’s face on this page here—I laughed my head off! And here! Look, look, this scene! This fire-breathin’ dragon is so, so cool! ☆

Tomoya:

I meant, what did you think of the story?

Looks like you’re more interested in the pictures, huh. I guess that’s one way to enjoy manga!

Oh well, I’m just glad you enjoyed it!

Mitsuru:

It ended on a cliffhanger with the main character caught in trouble, so I wanna know what happens next.

Tomo-chan, Tomo-chan, I wanna read the next part already!

Tomoya:

What? There’s nothing I can do about that. It’s still an on-going series and this is the latest volume.

You’d probably have to search through some back issues of the magazine it was originally published in if you want to read the rest.

Mitsuru:

Ugh, that sounds like way too much effort! I wanna read it all together in one book!

Tomo-chan, I want the next volume to go on sale right now! Pleeease!

Tomoya:

I literally have no power over this.

Hajime:

Hehe. It must be a really exciting manga for both of you to be reacting like this.

Mitsuru:

Huh? You haven’t read it yet, Hajime-chan?

Tomoya:

Oh right, I haven’t lent this series to you yet. Wanna try?

Hajime:

Oh, are you sure?

Tomoya:

Duh, of course! What are we best friends for? Here you go! ♪

Or, wait. If you start reading halfway through the series, you’ll just get confused. I’ll bring the first volume along with a couple of others with me tomorrow.

Hajime:

Thank you! The manga you recommend to me are always super interesting, so I can’t wait. ♪

Tomoya:

Oh, the bell’s gonna ring real soon. Mitsuru, you should head back to your classroom.

Mitsuru:

Got it! ...Oh wait, before I forget.

Here ya go! Have this katsu curry bread as a thanks!

See ya, Tomo-chan, Hajime-chan! Later~☆

Tomoya:

O-Oh, thanks…

He even bought me bread. Even though I’m always saying that all I need in return is to hear his thoughts.

Hajime:

It’s a very Mitsuru-kun way of saying thank you, don’t you think? Hehe~ ♪

Location: Shopping Street

Tomoya:

(I’ve got a short test tomorrow, so I should go over my notes for that class once I get home.)

(And uh… Right, I promised I’d lend Hajime some manga, so I’ll put that in my bag while I’m thinking about it.)

(It’s been a while since I lent him anything, so I’ll bring a few more titles along with me~♪)

(...Speaking of which, I wonder what kind of manga Hajime likes?)

(It feels like I’m always just pushing my favorites onto him, like: “This one was really good, so you should read it too!”. But now that I think about it, I never really asked him what he actually likes.)

(He always tells me he liked whatever I lend him no matter what.)

(What would Hajime’s tastes be? Maybe slice of life? He seems to like action and sports stuff too.)

(When it comes to food-based manga, he’ll happily exclaim something like, “Just looking at all this delicious food is enough to fill me right up!”)

(He seems to enjoy stories of characters with superpowers battling it out and fantasy series set in alternate universes too.)

(This is so hard. I feel like that guy would be happy with anything.)

(Oh, I reached the book store. Might as well stop by and have a look through the different genres to find something Hajime would like.)

Oh wow! The latest volume of the manga I lent Mitsuru is released today! I had no idea.

I’ll read it tonight and lend it to Mitsuru tomorrow! I bet he’ll be thrilled.

(The next morning)

Tomoya:

Morning, Hajime! ♪

Hajime:

Oh! Good mor--

Tomoya-kun, don’t tell me all of those are…? ♪

Tomoya:

I thought I'd pick out some manga you might like, but in the end, I couldn't decide which one to choose.

So instead of me doing that, I brought them all along with me for you to do the honors.

Hajime:

Wah, wow! Did you really bring them all along just for me? Thank you so much~♪

Oh, this one looks really good! Ah wait, so does this… Oh no, I don’t know which one I should read first.

Which one do you recommend the most, Tomoya-kun?

Tomoya:

Hmm, it’s hard for me to choose… But if I had to, I’d guess I’ll go with this one.

Hajime:

Isn’t that the manga you and Mitsuru-kun were talking about yesterday? ♪

Tomoya:

Yeah. I happened to pop by the bookstore yesterday and saw the latest volume on sale. I brought it along to lend to Mitsuru.

Hajime:

That’s nice! Hehe, I’m sure Mitsuru-kun will be overjoyed.

Tomoya:

Every single volume is packed full of action, but I personally really liked this chapter here!

It’s a scene where the humans and dragon unite as one in a fight against the antagonists. Even though they can’t communicate with words, they can understand what’s in each others’ hearts...I was on the edge of my seat!

Hajime:

Wow… The art is really impressive too! I can’t wait to read it~♪

Tomoya:

By the way, what genre do you like, Hajime? I went through a bunch of stuff you might like in my head, but I still have no idea.

Hajime:

Now that you mention it, I’ve never talked about it before.

Hmm… I just like whatever you like, Tomoya-kun.

Tomoya:

Whatever I like?

Hajime:

Yes. I find any of the manga you lend me super interesting, so I just like whatever you like~ ♪

Tomoya:
