If You Don't Watch This Manga = GAY

the bell rings at Paran namaru private high school signaling another day of chaos ahead two boys chat lazily one asking if the other studied for the test the response not a chance a green-haired boy leans on his desk complaining about how much of a pain tests are his friend agrees they're not feeling the academic Spirit Mei looks distracted prompting her friend to ask what's wrong meai sigh calling the day a drag her friend eventually remembers that the first subject is history oh great one girl seems ready to face anything with a determined look she tells

herself that this test is hers to conquer Mei on the other hand predicts her own fate 11 points and doesn't seem to care much meai sigh at her exam paper and he's totally upset her friend looks confused by her bluntness we learn that mari's indifference comes from her special ability Vision foresight she's already seen the score and it's nothing great her friend realizes that meai knows her future score and has already accepted it despite it being bad the classmates react to her prediction 11 points sounds too low and she's bound to get in trouble someone

suggests she just look at the answers if she can see the future but marai doesn't seem interested the students discuss their test scores one of them got 28 points and they seem to be taking it in stride despite the low number one student complains about the idea of supplementary lessons while the other sarcastically notes how fun the others seem to be having they come up with an idea knowing the test questions in advance would make things so much easier the realization strikes all of them at once the group starts to seriously consider using their ability

to predict the future to find the answers they praise heo for her genius idea one student decides to use their power to peek into the future and check for anything useful while the others wait they debate the approach of studying only certain parts after confirming what's important in the future though someone points out how backwards it all seems they look at a small figurine commenting on its hairstyle it's clear that none of this will be on the test yet they can't help but get sidetracked they continue to admire the figurine discussing how touching it is

while another student struggles to understand the point of it all one of them sarcastically comments that their approach explains why they're only getting 11 points the rest seem resigned to their fate the student reflect on how tests are supposed to challenge their experiences but it's evident they still don't have a clear plan they're reflecting on their own experiences wondering how much they've grown they start questioning their current level treating the test as a way to measure their growth one of them remarks that she often says incredible things casually she shares a thought inspired by Socrates

about knowing what you don't know they're hesitant about supplementary lessons trying to rationalize things now one wishes they knew exactly what would be on the test then backtracks immediately they talk about getting motivated if their strong subjects come first otherwise it's a struggle the girl shuko Tyra talks about jumping to a parallel universe she suggests going to another parallel and he agrees unsure but curious he questions whether using a parallel world for a test schedule change is even worth it he looks tired sighing at the situation the people in this class are incredible one girl

her phone a worried expression Crossing her face something's clearly bothering her Hikaru notices her unease and watches her while shuko seemingly curious glances over Mirai sigh feeling frustrated she must have opened her senpai's Instagram Story by mistake left a trace she wasn't ready for shoko ever the quick thinker seems unfazed she suggests something bold traveled to a parallel world her eyes are filled with Mischief mei's face lights up at the thought sho's willingness to help has made her day a sudden burst of excitement takes over this might be her way out of this awkward situation

Hikaru however doesn't seem all that impressed he silently questions their logic he's gotten used to their ridiculous plans but he can't always wrap his head around them outside everything continues as usual even though everyone here has Supernatural abil somehow the world still goes on ordinary in its own strange way suddenly kooy appears waving enthusiastically from a distance calling out to Hikaru he looks as cheerful as always kury reaches him with a smile and casually invites him to head home his cheerful energy is infectious and Hikaru nods in agreement it's the perfect way to end the

day Hikaru walks down the hallway with kury despite the earlier chaos everything now seems calm he breathes out a quiet acknowledgement ready to leave everything behind until tomorrow back with Mari she finally finds her phone Rel believed she looks over at shuko her gratitude evident it wasn't much but it meant something to her just knowing someone would go the extra mile even if it's absurd was enough Miri smiles and they continue onward together Miri yawns while looking at the scene they decide to return back ready to end whatever Adventure they were having kury stares as

the girls noticed some strange green rocks which shuko identifies as burum they wonder what the locals metabolize shuko points out that burum is similar to oxygen being in the same period of the periodic table Mariah is amused though she doesn't quite get get it Hikaru is visibly struggling and asks for help while shuko suggests hopping to another parallel meai asks Hikaru what he wants to do shuko reflects on why she hesitates to leave this world Mariah being more practical suggests leaving since it's tough to live here the school building looks twisted and upside down clearly

not what they're used to shuko is sitting calmly while everything seems off-kilter she notes all the problems around them while miriah remains positive Hikaru hangs upside down noting the odd physics of this world shuko seems unfazed and just says gotcha Mei ahead confidently feeling the odd gravitational pull while shuko remarks that she's adapting a bit too fast shuko suggests they should stay in the current world line and Hikaru celebrates kury looks uncertain wondering if he's stuck there forever Mei notices something and says oh shuko asks what she saw meai explains she foresaw her part-time job

thinks to himself that what they're saying is clearly a typical line from people who aren't really into otaku culture kury looks incredibly flustered his thoughts running wild he feels like his emotional barrier is being being breached he pleads with the girls not to look at his work shuko notices the character's chest size in kuro's drawing and asks if it's a bit too exaggerated Mari also joins in estimating the size as G level kury nervously tries to correct them saying it's more like a d size kury looks embarrassed as he processes their conversation about his drawing

kooy mumbles something about 2D as valid stuff hard to disagree though Hikaru observes Mari and shuko looking at kooy's book he notes to himself how this is way too pitiful meanwhile the girls continue to show interest in kooy's manga drawings Mei surprisingly focused on kuro's book even though she's a gal keeps reading kury is puzzled by her genuine curiosity and wonders why she's so interested despite not fitting the typical otaku stereotype meai questions if the characters are getting overshadowed by the plot someone else responds with criticism shuko adds that the story's enthusiasm sacrifices the protagonist

while someone comments there's too much criticism meai agrees but then shuko points out that it seems inspired by tensei slime and shield hero someone else thinks it's harsh koaki looks overwhelmed as shoko critiques how the story doesn't align with the Revenge plot he's clearly struggling Mei asks about the message behind the manga making coake Panic a bit thinking it's a tough question koaki loses it trying to grab his manga back from Mari while shuko just goes woo shoko teases koyake calling him scary while he nervously reacts koaki shouts back saying they're the scary ones he's

getting really flustered koaki is visibly upset as he talks about the barrier he puts up when he's most on guard he feels hurt and overwhelmed by their words meai and shuko look at a door shuko Smiles at Hikaru commenting how he's actually capable of talking Hikaru seems a bit taken aback shuko starts to say something Hikaru looks confused as shuko suddenly tells him he's pretty cool shuko points out that despite everything Hikaru is still drawing showing some admiration shuko and Mei share a conversation about the fear of criticism meai is reflective while shuko agrees shuko

talks about how everyone feels fear especially when buying new clothes or changing hairstyles meai agrees emphasizing that doing what you love is scary but it's worth it Hikaru thinks about giving everything his all to avoid criticism but admits it can be tough when others judge his efforts Mei Praises Hikaru for his passion calling him amazing for continuing despite everything meai pushes the door open telling Hikaru that manga drawn by someone like him will definitely get interesting Hikaru looks down blushing as Mari and shuko ask if they can read what comes next the Girls tease Hikaru

for getting emotional laughing while Hikaru embarrassed shouts at them to stop Hikaru runs off shouting that he'll make them cry with his manga the girls cheer him on jokingly wishing wishing him good luck surpassing Demon Slayer Mirai and shuko notice Hikaru in the distance Mirai casually asks what's up shuko realizes mirai's foresight ability must have kicked in she comments on it while Hikaru is shown down the hallway with a melon bread Hikaru watches the girls from afar thinking to himself how they're strict but also kind especially towards otakus like him Hikaru is sitting alone at

his desk while other students chatter around him kury approaches Hikaru from behind trying to pull at hikaru's attention but Hikaru looks uninterested kury keeps calling out Hikaru Karu while tugging at him Hikaru seems lost in thought kury enthusiastically shows Hikaru something on his phone saying look at this Hikaru unimpressed advises him not to use his ability recklessly kury tells Hikaru he found an amazing account called ricoa Hikaru seems curious the girl with pigtails yamik Kawa thinks to herself about wanting to befriend Rota but she knows that Rota rarely speaks to anyone kury tells Hikaru that

it might be a good opportunity to get on yamakawa good side Hikaru isn't sure about it kuoy shows a screenshot of rota's account which seems to be a vent account Hikaru looks skeptical the boys talk more about rota's account Hikaru notes that she's venting a lot of frustrations kury looks surprised Hikaru warns kooy that following accounts like ricotas may not be such a good idea suggesting that kooy just ignore it kury and Hikaru are checking out ricota's vent account they notice the post where she mentions everyone's cuteness unsure what to make of it kury glances

at Hikaru both looking puzzled trying to understand the post ricota holds her phone seemingly confused by her own words Hikaru and Kuro watch from afar surprised at what they read Kuro leans over to Hikaru noticing another post Hikaru points out that she's mentioning them again Hikaru looks at the phone pondering over the posts he realizes they sound more like compliments than venting kury looks worried while reading another post it seems like Rota might be talking about him specifically Hikaru reassures kooy that she's complimenting him though he finds the comparison odd the classroom is bustling with

students chatting and planning activities history class begins with the teacher starting on the murachi period Hikaru and Roy are both in their seats focused Hikaru reads more of ricota's vent tweets he starts doubting if it's really just venting feeling increasingly curious Hikaru realizes ratea is live tweeting about the class specifically about him which makes him even more intrigued yamik Kawa is posting about history class mixing compliments with some complaints her friends are confused by her venting the teacher asks yamakawa a history question she looks a bit disinterested amakawa still focused on her phone answers correctly

about Emperor godigo yamakawa classmates are impressed that she could answer while still on her phone yamakawa isn't thrilled about being picked to answer questions and vents about it online yamakawa criticizes the teacher's Behavior as fan service while typing on her phone the teacher wraps up the class mentioning they will start with the on and War next time yamakawa comments on the length of the lectures yamakawa posts a surprisingly positive review of the lecture calling it amazing despite its length yamik kawa's classmates approach her annoying her with their questions she keeps her responses short yamakawa tries

to avoid attention from the girls in her class she's visibly uncomfortable and just wants them to leave her alone yamakawa is annoyed and demands someone to get out of her face it seems like someone's getting a bit too close one of yamakawa friends asks if she changed her eyes Shadow which gets a vague response meanwhile someone is admiring her on social media yamakawa isn't too thrilled about one particular girl named Tyra meanwhile she's asked if she lost something which she appears to deny there's an inner thought about how much someone trusts yamia Kawa especially since

she's always there for them be it at work or in class yamakawa is seen trying to find a promotional piece for the sake of herself and two others someone hopes she finds it soon yam maa's promotional piece lies on the floor which catches someone's attention the promotional piece is found and there's confusion about what exactly it is followed by a realization of what it meant yamakawa friends seem curious and ask her about what happened yesterday one of them finds out she might be a fan of shimofuri miojo yamakawa talks about a reservation made at work

under the name Frieza and gets called out for bringing up some old internet joke looks like someone is a bit of a meme lover yamakawa seems surprised as she takes back her item from kury who looks a bit confused kury wonders if yamakawa personality is more intense than it seems at first kury hands the item back to yamakawa but their hands accidentally cling the atmosphere gets awkward yamakawa gets flustered and tells kooy to hold on for a moment but he accidentally drops the item they both apologize and kury is puzzled suddenly an explosion happens nearby

sending dust everywhere the girls peek out nervously while kury stands amidst the smoke looking a bit worse for wear yamakawa looks frustrated her landmine ability revealed kury realizes she really might be the kind of person to blow up if you don't handle her carefully shuko asks hio if they're in a parallel world hio clarifies that they are still in the base world they're in a horse racing track in the base world and heo explains that it's not Disneyland from a parallel world they realize they followed everyone to this place by mistake thinking it was Disneyland

look of determination in her eyes Ena notices the jockey named kurokawa and is impressed by his looks Mirai tries to bring her Focus back reminding her that looks aren't the crucial part Mina still fascinated by the jockey insists that this jockey is a super hot stud meai not amus tells her to focus on what's actually important we get some historical background about horse racing mentioning specific race courses and betting systems Mina looks confident as if she's sharing a piece of Insider knowledge meai stays focused on observing the race while Mina continues to make remarks about

Ichi talk casually with Ichi excitedly mentioning her Senpai from work helping her out Ichi continues her story revealing the customer had to pay just 980 Yen for a full tank the girls find it amusing Ichi shares how the customer was confused and asked for her advice they laugh about how easy it was they leave the classroom still chatting and laughing at how silly the whole situation was amain points out how the customer was also wrong in that situation making them both laugh Ichi agrees and they continue talking with an ominous um hey appearing in the

background the two walk through the hallway discussing how 980 yen is a normal price for a bowl of ramen at ichiran someone warns a mani and Ichi that they're locked inside the building but they seem unbothered continuing their chat about Ramen prices the hallway stretches endlessly before them Ichi finds the situation amusing while the voice demands they start feeling scared the scene shifts to a chaotic meeting room with a voice questioning why they're still talking about Ramen Ichi is unfazed commenting on how they're feasting on corporate efforts ammane and Ichi discuss the abity of saving

only a little on gas prices meanwhile an ominous voice asks if they're aware that the corridor Loops forever Ichi recalls her Senpai asking what he should do admitting she had no idea at the time Ichi recounts how only she and Senpai were present and they were both panicking a terrifying figure Looms in the hallway demanding they go find it Ichi and ammani stand facing the figure the Eerie figure repeats its question okay Ichi responds calmly with a simple okay the voice criticizes ichi's lack of reaction to the scare Ichi and Mani just casually stand in

the classroom Ichi explains how her Senpai went into a frantic search mode the voice seems confused questioning what Ichi means by okay meai pulls out an old grimy notebook the customer was just sitting there waiting for this heo finds it a bit funny while the mysterious voice seems frustrated calling them crazy heo mentions that her Senpai started looking up things like how to return gasoline from the tank the mysterious voice reacts in disbelief noting that this is the first of four lost items they need to find they noticed desks with some weird items like a

doll Mei points out how creepy the traps are while heo wonders about the rest of the desks heo and Mei move towards the staircase heo explains how they told the customer it was impossible but he just wouldn't give up Footprints are visible leading down heo Praises Mari who recalls how she ended up wiping the windshield because the customer told her to wait they approach a door with Mariah reflecting that it was the best windshield wiping job she'd ever done made it shine like new the door is covered in strange stains and Mari notices the client's

expression darkened during the whole thing Meri reads the numbers written on the door po in out the right leg heo looks puzzled reacting with confusion heo operates the panel complimenting Miri the mysterious voice is in disbelief wondering why they figured it out so fast the staircase appears with Footprints the mysterious voice complains saying that normally people need to walk back and forth to figure it out wondering how they managed it instantly miriah is sarcastic pretending to be minced meat while hio just laughs it off they realize there's writing on the stairs explaining a sequence needed

to solve something heo shocked by something that appeared as she steps on the floor me tries to stay cool while heo searches online for what to do they keep talking about some ridiculous situation apparently involving someone responsible for a leg and Mirai finds it funny heo mentions that the Senpai was reluctant because of money a blackout occurs heo explains how Senpai was trying to get out of the situation meai comments how funny he was meai clearly not scared asks heo what's next heo looks a bit annoyed they're walking through a hallway heo comments about a

customer refusing to pay and meai responds casually heo grabs some items saying Senpai was crying and saying I'm done for it's raining heavily Mina and amanii step forward with determination gripping something important a mysterious figure with an umbrella approaches saying you found them for me the person expresses gratitude and Mina and ammani respond casually ammani is frustrated feeling like there's a big moment happening but they're just indifferent Mina brings up senpai's situation they discuss how Senpai started haggling over gasoline which ammani finds funny they both think senpai's Antics are overshadowing the serious moment they're in

amanii finds it hilarious while the mysterious person makes a request the figure seems lost in a Sea of Faces asking them to find their missing identity Mina looks confused realizing whatever they're searching for isn't there the figure acknowledges it the rain keeps pouring as Mina and the mysterious figure stand apart with tension in the air finally Mina and ammane reach a conclusion after a long time the mysterious figure thanks them and ammani is baffled by how easily Mina figures things out they wave goodbye telling him to take care and get home safely he responds with

a smile wishing them well too they're talking about the gas station incident and one of them says she loves how Senpai was trying to haggle even though he clearly didn't have enough money as they continue walking they talk about how incredible it all was while someone Peaks from behind the corner seemingly having forgotten something Miri hands shuko a gift box shuko looks pleased and thanks her Mei jokingly apologizes for using her future seeeing abilities while shoko smiles and tells her to stop peeking at the future in the background other students are exchanging chocolates one girl

enthusiastically thanks her friend T looking tired mutters that he hates Valentine's Day he wonders why why there's even a day dedicated to handing out chocolates with couples around him happily exchanging sweets he feels that creating such a day just makes people sad when they don't get anything his friend checks on him asking if he's okay T says he's fine though he doesn't seem very convinced she hands him a bag of chocolates and tells him to cheer up a bit Tata still looking a bit down thanks her she walks away cheerfully waving goodbye Tata comments that

his friend is the type who just gives chocolates to everyone and she's seen giving them to more students people are exchanging chocolates and there's a sense of unease he thinks if only Valentine's Day didn't exist Hikaru is eating the chocolates with someone calling his name he's lost in thought feeling some kind of emptiness Hikaru fumbles around trying to find something a friend is surprised and wonders why he's acting this way hikaru's friend asks for light using hikaru's ability Hikaru looks annoyed but obliges the screen reveals hikaru's power he can shine a little Hikaru is puzzled

gave Kumi explains her ability Catch and Release that lets her take and give abilities she goes over the conditions to make it work Hikaru looks exhausted telling Kumi okay listen Hikaru aru's inner thoughts compare kum's power to those of villainous characters in manga thinking this kind of person shouldn't be giving out chocolates Hikaru is now labeled with the ability black hole instead of his usual he shines a little he warns Kumi that she shouldn't be casually giving chocolate to others a group of students realizes that the abilities have been swapped around but they take it

lightly with one saying that's good Kumi nervously apologizes saying she'll return the abilities later While others tell her to return them immediately Hikaru is worried wondering if this swap will cause issues in their daily lives he looks anxious as he contemplates the chaos to come shuko has her new ability gigantification and remarks how this situation could definitely be an obstacle shuko is casually using her gigantify ability in the classroom Hikaru looks at her and wonders whose power she got and how strange the situation is hio gets asked if she's lost weight and she replies oh

happened heo suggests hopping to a parallel world where the English teacher isn't the same but she realizes she can't actually do it hio tries hopping but can't and ends up growing even bigger her friend looks on surprised Hikaru thinks about how unlucky the girls are for having switched abilities with him feeling bad for them since his power is kind of lame heo doesn't understand why there can't just be one simple answer to all their troubles and her friend humorously agrees a discussion about differences where heo says everyone's personalities are unique she reflects on how even

though they have different words and thoughts in the end people aren't all that different
