How is this possible?>Especially after the location of our show was suddenly changed yesterday...>...Pr->president...>(Bweh!?)
>...Zombies...?>Y-you guys!>What happened...?>T->truth is...>We uploaded a video online...>And it went viral...>(I'm guessing this is because of that...)>...A video?>Phone: Saika Festival, Gen-ed department 2nd-years - Beauty and the Beast>So, you posted it on the festival's publicity account.>Phone: 50k retweets, 1.01mil likes
>Th->those numbers are huge...!>But,>why...?>Taira was the one who came up with the idea of making it.>Right?>Y-yes...>I happened to see you staying behind to fix the posters yesterday, Ayase-kun...>You were working so hard, I thought that I should do something, too...>But,>How did you get this big of a response with a publicity video for the show?>Wh-what's in it...?
>I'm tackling the role of the handsome guy... But I'm so clumsy!!>Practicing his lines (Wooden)>He actually got really good!!>To be continued at the Saika Festival tomorrow!>(Wha...)>It's nothing but him failing miserably.>To be honest, we weren't really sure about it either,>but I guess this is a part of Taira too, right?
>You want to use clips of you practicing to make a PR video, Taira?>Y-yes...>I mean, even if you say that...>If we make a video from those,>it's going to be pretty much nothing but you totally embarrassing yourself, isn't it?>Yes.>Uh, no, you don't have to agree.>...After the chairwoman said all those things,>I've been trying to think about what my "assets" are.>And, in the end...
>I couldn't come up with a single thing.>...But, if that's the case...>I'll just have to turn the things I *don't* have into assets.>Taira...
>Nobody in this school is as big of a total, constant failure as I am!>THAT'S going to be my weapon!>(Ha ha ha...)>I see...?>Still. You're not wrong...>By watching you two fail and grow like that,>the rest of us have grown more optimistic about this, too.>Yeah...>It's made us all want to do our best.>We should take those feelings,>and let the visitors feel them, as well!>(All right!)>Let's show them all just how badly you can fail!
>...And that's the reason you're all like this, then...?>(*Wobble wobble...*)>We just edited the video, but...>It ended up turning into an all-nighter...>Also, I know there was all that stuff with your mother, Ayase-kun...>I didn't want you to get any kind of weird attention from this, so we did our best to make sure you're not in the video.>Do they really have clumsy people like this at Saika?>But he got pretty good in the end, didn't he?>So this is the gen-ed department, lol>Loved it, will go see them tomorrow and report back
>...Thank you so much,>everyone!>(No, no, it was nothing...)>...Thank you,>Tarou-kun.>(*Badum!?*)>And thank you to all of you, as well.>Jacket: Festival>The people have gathered here to see us.>All that's left...
>Is to SHOW them!>YES!>Sign: Gen-ed department, 2nd years - Beauty and the Beast>(This must be it)>Phone: Yuu - The place is packed thanks to Taira-kun's PR video!>Heh...
>In a place like Saika, a gathering place of the best of the best,>a talentless person will stand out more than anything else... And they took advantage of that for their video.>True enough...>When a failure improves, you can really *feel* it.>Lookin' at him givin' it his all like that,>you can't help but have your heart melt...
>...And why aren't you two on your stages, then!?>I-I won't be starting for a while yet...>My preparation's one hundred percent complete!>L-likewise...>Miwa!>Sakura!>So you came, huh?>Yeah!>I mean, Yuu's playing one of the main characters.>I got kind of wor... *interested* after hearing about that.>They sure do have a big audience...>But, why are they in a place like this, behind the school?>It's a long story...>All right!>The general education department's second-years will now perform>"Beauty and the Beast"!
>(*Clap clap clap*)>Huff...>(*Clap clap clap*)>Make sure you win...>FOR US!!!>(*...Clench...*)
>"Good morning, auntie.">"Belle!>Please marry me!">(*Ignore*)>(Ooh!)>(It's the guy from the video, lol)>"Who's there!?>You... Who are you?">"I am the master of this castle.">(Oooh...)
>Th-that was great!>He's doing pretty well, isn't he?>All thanks to the "Heart of the Beast"!>The what?>(Phew...)>And his classmates...>seem to be in high spirits, as well...>We had to do a lot of worryin', but...>They've got a big audience, and the play's goin' well, too.>Seems like they're gonna make it, riiiight?>...No...
>This is still not enough.>So far, they've merely managed to put themselves on the same starting line as the other departments.>(Gah...)>If they want to *win*, they'll...>Need something more.>Something *special*...>Sidebar: From "normal" to "special". What is the special "something" that they need?Thanks for reading! I'm really sorry I forgot to fill in the subject field...
>>281944306Those two in the first panel are cameos, right?They look too distinct not too.
>>281944381Nice, Yuu.
>>281945315Yeah, they're from Tenshi to Akuto.
>>281944478I'm sure Pres can come up with a long list of them.
This week's bonus image was the cover for volume 16, out in a couple of weeks.
>>281944559All those users? Single genius aunties!
>>281944600>Going tomato over a thank youYep, Presidentsisters. We got this in the bag.
>>281944684Chapter SAVED!!!
>>281944784Go ahead Miwa. Tell her about the "special training".
>>281944826Thx mate.Genuinely a great chapter. Been thinking on how the sisters would help the gen-ed class only to have them overcome the problem on their own. I like it. It ties well in them actually overcoming the wall and having to achieve success on their. We also needed more focus on other characters. And more Sakura is always a welcome.

A thank-you picture for numbers on Webry
>>281944306You forgot the subject line chief.Thanks for posting regardless
>>281946967I knowI became an unwitting pawn in the chairwoman's schemes
>>281947118That bitch!

You boys loving the anime?
What do you think are the odds of dad showing up to watch the sisters' shows?
>>281948352YesCan't wait for tomorrow's episode
>>281948508Man it sucks that it's ending fairly soon.I hope it did well enough for a Season 2
>>281949440I doubt it would get one purely on ratings alone, but Sunday does things it's own way, so you never know. Maybe fifteen years of drawing for the magazine is enough to qualify for veteran favoritism.
>>281950232At least Sunday makes good shit or puts their money into it.
>>281944516He kinda looks like Harry Potter with the scarf and glasses
>>281944714The paws are fucking silly
>>281951738Having the beast turn cuter as the play progresses would be a perfectly valid approach
>>281951960Imagine if the Disney movie was like that lmao
>>281944826Any bets on what special thing will save the day? I'm guessing they'll go off-script during the finale and Taira will end up beating Yuu and kissing the pres
>>281953380I'm kind of expecting either that or one of the Mikadono sisters to step in and kiss Yuu in the end
>>281946345You've been hit byYou've been struck by
>>281953441Those 3 cowards? They'll probably cucked of the balcony kiss by Taira and Prez as well.
>>281955082I root for themWell Kazuki a bit more, but still
>>281955048A smooth criminal!
>>281955082I believe in a Miwa balcony kiss
>>281944826Thanks, OP
>>281953380Pres will kiss the beast for real.
