The Crow's Return of Favor!

p1

Couldn't make any friends today either...
Hah~

It's probably just because I don't talk to them myself...
but what if they hate me...?

What am I so scared about...?

Making friends is a tall hurdle, isn't it...?

p2

Right On the Head

A crow... I guess it can't get out of the net?

You must be all alone too, huh?

Be more careful next time.

Ah?

She Got It Right

The next morning.
Another day of school...
Hm?

What could that be? A crow?

Please open up.

A person!?

I'm a crow.

It was a crow!?

p3

A Clichéd Suspicious Person

Who are you? What are you doing on someone's roof...?

Now now. I'm nobody suspicious.
Why are you just waltzing in!?

See?
No, you're totally suspicious! I'm getting embarrassed just looking at you!

Paper-Thin

You've got it all wrong! I'm actually...
the crow you rescued yesterday!
Eh... You mean you're

the crow who crapped on my head...?
Ah!?

Th-That was...

I had been stuck in that net for a while and was holding it in...
You could've held it in a few seconds longer...

p4

The Crow's Return of Favor

But why are you in human form?
I don't know. I was like this when I woke up this morning...

I'm sure it was God who changed me!
So that I could pay you back!
...Miori.
Eh?

That's my name... Katsura Miori.
Not "you".

Miori-sama~
No adding "sama"! It's embarrassing!

No Other Options

So,
do you have a name?
Oh right! Sorry for the late introduction!

I'm Karasuma.
Crows have surnames, huh...
What's your first name?

We don't have first names in the crow world.
Eh...? Must be rough distinguishing between family members.

Incidentally, Karasuma is only surname was can choose from in the crow world.
That's definitely confusing!

p5

Hectic Morning

Wait, look at that time! Sorry, but you'll have to come another time.
I'm gonna be late...
Please wait! I need to repay you somehow...!

Eh? Did something happen...?
Ah.

In that case, you can take out the trash.
It is garbage day, after all.
Leave it to me! I shall accomplish this even if it costs me my life!
You're exaggerating... wait...

On second thought, I'll do it myself!

Turmoil

By the way, where are you heading to?
School...
School!? Crows don't have that, so I've always admired those!

Swallows apparently have them, though.
Swallows have them, huh...

Yes. And so do killfish it seems.
Eh? Ah, yeah...

I think you're mistaken.
Eeh...?
What do you mean...?

p6

Tsundere?

Besides, school isn't all that fun.
Eh~ Really?
Not for me, at least.

But you're going to school right now, aren't you?

With your own two feet, no less.
Eh? Yeah, I guess.

So this is that "the body is honest" thing.
Yep yep.
I go because I have to!
The heck does that mean...?

A Serious Concern

I'm a loner at school...

I'm always alone...
and it's no fun.

So that's what it was...

Well then, let's fly!
Were you even listening?

p7

Change of Pace

A little flight is sure to brighten your mood!
You don't have to, really.

I want you to be cheerful, Miori-san!

Karasuma...

Uuh... Heavy. Too heavy...
How cruel! It's your wings that are weak, Karasuma!

Phone... Home...

I'm so worthless... I can't do anything right.
Waah~
Don't cry, Karasuma!
But... but...

Don't worry, Karasuma. I've decided on how I want you to repay me.
What is it?

Become...
my friend.

Fri...end?
You an alien or something?

p8

Accidentally

You want me... to be your friend?
That's right. I want to be friends with you, Karasuma.

Y'see... I've never spoken to anyone because I was afraid that they would hate me.
But after seeing how stubborn you are, Karasuma, I've realised...

I need to be more assertive...
Nothing will begin by just waiting around.

You think I'm stubborn...?
Ah! No! I meant it in a good way!

We Can Still Make It!

A-At any rate, you noticed me, Karasuma.
That alone has payed me back plenty.

I'm glad I could help!

Karasuma, I'm gonna do my best to make friends at school too.
I know you can do it, Miori-san!

Ah, the bell's rining!?

Being late is a small price to pay... Awaiting your feedback!
