Did some- thing happen? Are you looking for some- thing?
DING- DONG
It belonged to a person called Manabu. Before he knew it, his left hand had wandered into my room on its own. .
in the morning, get dressed up in uniform, then stay inside my room without any food until evening.
I've not been taking classes for a while. .
My way is to make many towers out of them so that I won't carelessly demolish them.
The books I've read part-way pile up. .
If I'd only known that he would spread that around as some funny story,
t o s s .
. What's that? .
That on your chest. .
Yes? .
TAP .
my red pen. .
Chisaki Kimi- jima. .
.
But some- how— .
.
QUIVER . .
sound
…Ah— .
No, she's well and healthy.
*sigh* .
Chisaki! Natsumi-chan came with a friend. .
You
This is my room.
There was no way I couldn't have been curious about Manabu-kun's real appearance.
I'll try reading for a bit longer. .
Like a puddle of dirty water. .
. He will kill me to get rid of a witness. . .
I'm going home for today. .
quite
—lf
I'm a student.
I'm really thankful for all. .
Really? .
Umm… .
He's from the same class as me. .
. . Ugh… … .
I won't do anything to you. .
—cond .
Ah— . .
whump whump .
I haven't fini- shed reading a single one. .
And there was another call from your teacher.
Nitta was his name. .
Manabu-kun, do you like studying? .
W H O O S H .
I had another call from your class teacher. .
. I du- nno. .
—bu. .
—na— .
On the day after that, everyone in the class started talking about the scar on my chest.
I feel like I can tell you everything because you're a good listener.
… .
... .
I'm sorry that I can talk about nothing but sad stuff. .
I got bored with this one as well. .
Se— .
I fear that I won't be able to keep up with studying. .
Heart-Breaking Dawn First Part
What—
I… may be able to go to school again.
It didn't even seem like it had any body. .
I don't think we're in the same class, but…. I think I heard about you somewhere.
. That I had no father. .
.Ah—
. .
f l a p .
I'm— .
... .
Ahah- hah... .
CLACK CLACK .
Manabu-kun. .
.
Soon, there was no seat for me any more. .
W H O O O S H . .
SQUEEZE .
Let's say a huge spider appeared inside my dream. .
. Huh? .
Good night. .
CLATTER CLATTER .
. .
.
Somehow… I remember what was on lessons better than I thought…
I feel sorry for myself. .
About the fact that I'd brought a boy who already had a girlfriend in my room.
Chisaki!
When it was getting close to dawn, .
Ma— .
B R U S H … .
Right, right. You can't write because it's not your dominant hand.
What— .
What else… .
.
Oh my… Sorry you had to bother. .
Manabu-kun left me and went home. .
He gave me a cold shoulder some time ago. .
Would you also hate me after seeing my body?
It didn't seem that it came to kill me at all.
Eek! .
OUCH! .
I can't do this any more… .
It's difficult for me to find someone to hang around.
. Ah… yeah. Sorry. .
Could you go to school even if you knew you don't fit in there? .
And it just happens that I slip off every day because of that. .
Ah… sure I was right… Hahah… .
—it can be thrown away. .
creep…
I wouldn't have let him in my room. .
LIMP .
.Where can I've put that necktie? .
f w o o s h .
Come to see me again, okay? .
I thought that it might not be appro- priate in that case.
You know, your mommy has to go to work. .
I bought it by mistake… .
I said a lot of weird things before. .
They still think I haven't found out about it.
Chisaki, I'll... leave you those handouts in the kitchen.
That's because I quickly speak what's on my mind.
But I don't like him any more.
These are the handouts from today.
That left hand. .
Is it lost? . .
I don't know that any of this means. .
Yeah. .
There's one more reason why I don't want to go to school. .
Do you go to our school? .
.
This is… no- thing much…
Those were the thoughts that ran through my mind at that moment. .
Although, because the hand didn't speak, the exchange of thoughts was difficult.
dsda
That my mother's job made her come back home in the mornings.
So you read this book. .
I use things lying around to mark the page.
You're telling me to finally get down to those handouts.
Chisaki, I'm going to work now. .
I wonder if it's because they feel guilty for bullying me. .
Do you want to tell me that I shouldn't stop reading halfway through?
frank.... .
Your classmates came here today as well. .
And I sometimes remember how my body was rejected by that boy that I liked. .
Hahah! .
Manabu-kun? . .
I would have never come to like him in the first place.
... .
That would be ama- zing.
How can a person be hungry even when they haven't been doing any- thing?
There's no doubt. My mom forgot to lock the door..
SHOCK! .
However, spending time with my mouthless friend was simply fun. .
Look, this is some ticket… .
ha— .
Second half is interesting. .
Who're you? .
They always come. .
You often make peace signs. .
The girls from my class. .
I visited a shrine together with a boy I liked.
This is an o-mikuji. .
I was an idiot and didn't know that he had a girl- friend.
Yes. I see… .
... .
.
I wouldn't have taken my clothes off.
…If I had learned about his girl- friend, .
I wish I could go to school together with you. .
Hey! .
Otherwise, it's some supernatural pheno-menon. No matter which it is, I'll probably end up getting killed. .
I have lots of books, right? .
Ah— .
All of them belonged to my father before he left. .
I thought that you might have enough of me…. .
Mom tells me to throw them away. .
So- sorry… . . .
P A T .
Nice to meet you.
Hmm… … .
Have you ever had sex? .
…*sigh* Never mind. .
Are— .
What are you doing? I can't close it now. .
He didn't tell me by himself either. .
Manabu-kun, do you have a girlfriend? .
Tomo- rrow… .
They've been spewing all kinds of stuff about me on social media. .
I know about every- thing. . .
SLAM
.
Is this a habit of yours? How cute. .
A burglar entered inside.
Are you that cu- rious?
That's— . . .
You must be intelli- gent, Manabu-kun.
It was a question one would ask a “human.” That was why—
An in- jury?
Sorry for every day.
It looked like he could somehow recognize sounds and what was happening around it. .
w a v e r … .
If you say so, .
DON'T COME TO SCHOOL .
. . .
S N U G G L E ... . .
You know, it looks painful.
.
CLACK••• .
C L A C K . .
One of sorts that can be seen in illustrated encyclopedias. It crawls up my leg.
It's already past my stomach, past my chest. It reached my neck. It's by my mouth.
Manabu-kun, did somebody ever bully you? .
FILTH
Did you say proper thanks to them? .
DISGUSTING .
. .
I don't like books in particular. I don't even mind if they become dirty or discolored. Once some- thing gets dirty— .
.
I'm sleepy. .
.
KICK k
Half past eight. I'm hungry. .
.
. . . . .
I get up normally

While his hand was in there, Manabu's body was sound asleep. .
