Episode 1: “The Library Encounter”
The school day has just ended. The hallway outside the library is still buzzing with chatter, but inside, it’s dead quiet. A single boy sits by the window, the warm afternoon light falling across his messy sketches. He’s so focused that he doesn’t notice the sound of clacking loafers approaching…
---
Renji Aozora
(scribbling in his notebook, whispering to himself)
“…If I make her skirt flip at this angle, the perspective will—ah, no, that looks weird…"
he sighs and pushes his glasses up, doodling again. A bead of sweat forms as he adds a slightly too-detailed panel of cleavage.
“…O-okay, maybe no one will ever see this anyway.”
The library door SLAMS open. A jingle of bracelets. A waft of strawberry perfume. Renji freezes like a deer in headlights.
---
Hikari Momose
(stage-whispering loudly, hands on hips)
“Ughhh, I knew it! Everyone’s gone already! Where the heck am I supposed to find someone’s notes now—”
She stops mid-rant when she spots Renji hunched over his desk.
“Oh-ho? Well, look who we have here. Glasses-kun, right?”
---
Renji
flinches, clutching his notebook to his chest
“Eh?! M-Momose-san?! W-what are you doing here? The library is… uh, it’s supposed to be quiet…”
---
Hikari
saunters closer, her loose tie swaying, leaning down over his desk—so close he can smell her perfume. She grins, noticing the pages beneath his arms.
“Quiet, huh? You’re drawing something, aren’t you? Don’t tell me you’re, like, making a love letter or something.”
tilts her head, playful smirk
“Or is it… something pervy?”
---
Renji
face instantly red, adjusts glasses in panic
“Wha—! N-no! It’s—it’s just manga! Research! For… literature club!”
---
Hikari
eyes sparkle, suddenly interested
“Manga?! Wait, no way! You can actually draw?!”before he can react, she snatches the notebook right from his hands and flips it open, bracelets jingling
---
Renji
“H-hey! Momose-san, d-don’t—!!”
his soul leaves his body as she sees the “ecchi” panel he sketched earlier.
---
Hikari
blinks, then bursts out laughing
“Pffft—no waaay! You’re into this kinda stuff?! Glasses-kun, you’re like… way dirtier than you look!”
grins brightly, holding the notebook up
“But it’s actually… kinda good.”Renji
face burning, looks away, mumbling
“P-please give it back… I-I’ll never hear the end of this if people find out…”
---
Hikari
slams the notebook shut dramatically, then leans forward on the desk, both hands planted, cleavage just inches from his face.
“Then it’s settled! You’re gonna teach me about manga!”
---
Renji
“…Eh?!”
Hikari
“Don’t ‘eh?!’ me! I suck at literature, and the teacher keeps yelling at me to ‘study more seriously.’ If you can draw manga, you’re like, totally a genius with stories, right?”
points a shiny acrylic nail at him, smirking
“You’ll be my secret tutor!”
---
Renji
“…T-Tutor? You?!”
he pushes up his glasses, voice cracking
“But… I-I don’t think we’re even in the same world…
”Hikari
leans closer, whispering with a playful grin
“Guess what, Glasses-kun? Starting today, we are.”
Ends with Renji staring, wide-eyed and flustered, while Hikari beams at him like she’s just found her next favorite hobby.
Episode 2: Study Session at the Café
The next day after school. Renji is quietly stuffing his manga notebooks into his bag, trying to sneak out of the classroom unnoticed. Just as he’s about to escape—
Hikari Momose
(slams her hand down on his desk, making him jump)
“Not so fast, Glasses-kun! You didn’t forget, did you?”
Renji Aozora
(startled, glasses slipping)
“F-forget what?!”
Hikari
(grins, hands on hips, bracelets jingling)
“Hellooo? Our study session! You’re not ditching your number one student, are you?”Renji
“…Y-you were serious about that?”
Hikari
“Duh! Come on, pack it up. We’re going to a café. Studying in the library is boring as hell.”
Before Renji can protest, she grabs his wrist and drags him out of the classroom. His face turns red instantly.
---
Scene shift: a cozy local café. Hikari takes the window seat, plopping down like she owns the place. Renji sits across from her, nervously clutching his notebook. She’s already busy stirring a giant strawberry parfait with her spoon.
Hikari
(talking with her mouth full of whipped cream)
“Alright, sensei, teach me literature! Or whatever!”
Renji
(pushing up his glasses, serious expression)
“O-okay… uh, so today we can go over classical Japanese poetry. For example—”
Hikari
(groans, leaning back)
“Ughhh, boringgg. Can’t you, like, make it fun?”
Renji
“…Fun? Poetry is fun…”Renji
(choking on his drink)
“W-what?! No, no, just, uh, a generic character!”
Hikari
(grins mischievously, striking a pose right in her chair)
“C’mon, admit it. I could totally be a manga heroine. Look—”
she pretends to dramatically confess under the café lights, hand on her chest, voice loud enough for other customers to turn heads.
“‘Senpai… I-I’ve always loved you!’”
Renji
(mortified, whisper-shouting)
“M-Momose-san, please! People are staring!”
Hikari
(giggling, ignoring him)
“Look at your face! You’re so red, it’s hilarious!”
---
The waitress comes by, placing Renji’s plain black coffee on the table. She gives them a curious smile before walking off. Hikari leans in closer, lowering her voice now, but her tone softens just a bit.Hikari
“…But seriously, you’re kinda amazing, y’know? You draw, you know all this literature stuff… You’re like, crazy smart.”
Renji
(blinks, caught off guard)
“...N-no, I just… like books, that’s all.”
Hikari
(rests her chin on her hand, studying him with a little smile)
“Mm. Still. You’re different from the guys who only ever say dumb stuff to me.”
---
For a second, Renji looks up from his notebook, meeting her eyes. The moment lingers—until Hikari suddenly flicks his forehead with her nail.
Hikari
“Anyway! You better make sure I pass the next test, sensei. Or else!”
(sticks out her tongue playfully)
Renji
(rubbing his forehead, muttering with a shy smile)
“…She’s impossible…”
The camera pans out the café window, the two of them studying (well, mostly Hikari teasing) as the sun beautifully sets.
Episode 3: “The Gyaru in the Manga”
The following week. After classes, Renji is back in the library sketching quietly. He hears the usual jingle of bracelets—and braces himself as Hikari strolls in, tossing her bag onto the desk.
---
Hikari Momose
(plopping down beside him)
“Yo, sensei! Hope you’re ready—today’s lesson is gonna be… extra special.”
Renji Aozora
(already sweating)
“Uh… what do you mean by ‘special’?”Hikari
(grins, pulling a rolled-up magazine out of her bag and slamming it on the desk)
“Tadaaa! Recognize her?”
Renji blinks. On the glossy page is none other than Hikari herself—wearing a flashy street-fashion outfit, striking a bold pose.
---
Renji
(nearly choking)
“W-wait… this is… y-you?!”
Hikari
(snickers, flicking her hair)
“Yup. I do small-time modeling sometimes. Magazines, promo stuff… not a big deal.”leans closer, proud grin
“Betcha didn’t know your ‘student’ was kinda famous, huh?”
Renji
(muttering, stunned)
“N-not famous… but definitely… beautiful.”
He realizes what he just said, clamps his mouth shut, and buries his face in his notebook.
---
Hikari
(blinks, then smirks with a faint blush)
“Oi, oi, Glasses-kun, did you just call me beautiful? You trying to confess or something?”teasing tone, but her cheeks are a little pink as she laughs
Renji
(stammering furiously)
“N-no! I-I meant the… um, the photography… yes, the composition…!”
---
Hikari giggles, but then flips open his sketchbook without warning again. She sees the half-finished manga panels—one of a heroine with a loose tie, playful smile, and… familiar chestnut-blonde hair.
Hikari
(eyes sparkling)
“Oh-hooo? This looks awfully familiar. Don’t tell me…”
she points at herself with both thumbs, grinning wide
“I’m your muse, huh?!”
Renji
(panicking, trying to snatch the notebook back)
“I-it’s just a coincidence! Pure coincidence!”
Hikari
(ignoring him, leaning back in her chair confidently)
“Alright, sensei, new deal—you’re officially gonna use me as your model! Who better than a real-life professional?”
Renji
“…P-professional?!”
Hikari
(winks, striking an exaggerated model pose right there in the library, nearly knocking a stack of books over)
“Yup! You draw, I pose. Easy-peasy. And hey, don’t hold back—if you need, like, swimsuit refs, I’ve got those shots too~”
Renji
(face bright red, flustered)
“Wh-what?! M-Momose-san, please! Th-that’s—!”
Hikari
(bursts out laughing, clutching her stomach)
“Ahaha! Relax, Glasses-kun, you’re so fun to tease.”
then, softer, resting her chin on her hand as she looks at him seriously
“…But really. I don’t mind if it’s me. Actually… I’d kinda like it.”
Renji pauses, startled. Hikari’s smile lingers, but her eyes are softer than usual. For once, she isn’t just joking.
