- Wait, what's this about him being a 'Prince'?
- You're kidding, right?
- It's true...
- You're the one who didn't know?
- He's naturally tall, and has insane athletic reflexes that make full use of it.
- He's the top athlete in the Sports Division, which is already full of monsters. It'd be weirder if he didn't stand out.
- I don't know if he's just acting cool, but girls are totally into that. I hear he's pretty nice to them, though.
- ...
- Nice to girls?
- No way, he just gets flustered. That guy is definitely terrible with girls.
Page 3
- Bad with girls? The Prince? (laughs)
- But he has a girlfriend.
- ...Oh.
- I see.
- What, what, what?!
- You didn't know that either?!
- It's Yuki! We were in the same class our first year!!
- So, uh,
- does he ever bring her over?
- Well...
- I've met her,
- once...
- I'm surprised they're still together.
- ...
- Haha...
- What...
- Nagi, don't tell me you're a bro-con?
- Are you okay?! Y-Yeah...

- I hope he won't be too hard on me...
- Excuse me...
- Who is it?
- Oh...
- Oh, I...
- It doesn't matter who it is.
- This has nothing to do with you.
- It's fine,
- let's go.
Page 5
- Oh,
- b-but...
- Um...
- You're Nagi... right? We're in the same class...
- This is...
- I brought some cake, if you'd like...
- Hey.
- You won't be able to stand it either.
- Once you find out about me, you'll surely want to leave.
Page 6
- Oh.
- Besides, I'm not a big fan of sweets.
- You two should eat that together.
- I'll bring some tea over later,
- so make yourselves at home.
- Oh...
- O-Oh, I see...
- I'm sorry...
Page 7
- ...
- I wasn't.
- Dude...
- You shouldn't bully girls like that...
- I wasn't bullying her. That's rude.
- I just don't want her to be sad again.
- You've got a lot of nerve, considering you knew even less than I did.
Page 8
- Look, I don't mean to butt into another person's family business, but...
- if she's that important to you, then you need to pay better attention.
- ...
- My parents, you see,
- are incredibly overprotective.
Page 9
- Overprotective, always worried, and completely doting.
- They've loved me to death ever since the day I was born.
- But you know,
- I absolutely hated it.
- I just wanted them to see me for who I am,
- and to properly scold me and tell me 'no' when I did something wrong.
- Of course I'm happy to receive affection from people, but...
- it shouldn't just be sweet.
Page 10
- In the end, all forms of love are just ego.
- And that's even more true for love from family.
- Love that you can't escape from becomes nothing but poison.
- 'This is for your own good.'
- 'I'm only thinking of you.'
- 'You're fine just as you are.'
- 'Don't you worry about a thing.'
- 'You don't have to try so hard.'
- 'I'll take care of everything.'
- All of that...
- is no different from being completely indifferent.
Page 11
- Saying something is 'for so-and-so's sake'... those are the words I hate more than anything.
- That's why, seeing you act like that, I couldn't just accept it and leave it at that.
- ...Besides, you're way too clueless about things.
- Not getting swayed by rumors is a good thing, I think. I like that about you, Nagi.
- But really, you're just not interested in other people, are you?
- You're not interested, so you don't pay attention to what's going on around you. You don't even try to see, and that's why you don't know anything.
Page 12
- I don't get your situation or how complicated it is,
- and I know it's not something an outsider has any right to comment on.
- ...But,
- but if you're really thinking about her,
- if you really don't want to make her sad,
- then I want to help you.
- You can tune me out if what I'm about to say is annoying. Just listen, even if it's only noise.
- I just don't want to have any regrets about not saying this when I had the chance.
Page 13
- Before you jump to conclusions,
- before you make the wrong choice,
- look,
- listen,
- talk,
- and understand.
- You should try facing her properly, just once.
- That's,
- what I think, anyway.
- I just don't want you to make a mistake. That's all it is.
- I'm not forcing you to do anything.
- If you want to say that making mistakes is also a learning experience, then I won't say any more.
- I... no, no one in this world has the right to condemn you for it.
Page 14
- ...What's with the sudden lecture?
- You're one to talk, Aikawa. You didn't even know that Aiba and I are brothers.
- Well, that's because you...!
- ...
- ...No,
- never mind...
- ...It's just, you know...
- We don't look anything alike, do we?
- What?
- It's okay, you don't have to hide it...
- That...
- He told me himself.
- That you two are brothers.
- He said...
Page 15
- ...
- I see.
- It's pretty well-known that Aiba and Iruka are brothers.
- You probably don't know this, but Aiba is pretty famous around school too, right up there with Iruka.
- Aiba is? Why?
- What do you mean, why...
- Have you never seen the top test results?
- He's always ranked first in our entire year.
- And that's beating out everyone in the Special Advancement Division.
Page 16
- And what's so incredible is that he gets those grades while just living a normal life, you know?
- It's like he's on a whole other plane of existence... That's what you call a real genius.
- And on top of that, he's totally gorgeous!
- He's friendly and kind, too... Basically the definition of perfect.
- I quite like Aiba.
- Well, the gap in talent can really mess with your head sometimes.
- But at this point, he's so far beyond us that I don't really feel anything anymore. It's impossible to even resent him...
Page 17
- So, anyway, with a pair like that being brothers, of course they're going to be a hot topic.
- I don't know why you're telling that lie,
- but basically, you just didn't want people to know you were family, right?
- ...But still,
- I think it's probably better, even for you, if things just stay as they are.
Page 18
- Because for me, being compared to those two would be hell.
