Three... Two... One...
It was when summer is about to begin in my second year of college.
An acquaintance introduced me to my then girlfriend.
That came out quite nicely!
It almost felt like I don't deserve her.
Well, aren't our eyes too big here?
That's about normal.
She's pretty, carefree, and a bit spoiled.
Hey, I'm hungry!
Let's grab some lunch, then.
Yay!
The days I spent with her...
...ended after two months.
Wait, Shunpei! This is embarrassing.
You say that when you're going at it?
You dummy...
I see... I see... I see...
Gosh... Let's get in the store already.
FAITHFUL AND UNFAITHFUL
No way! Riko cheated on you!?
They were kissing in the middle of the street.
You got cheated on after two months of dating.
What a mess!
Hey, senpai...
Oh, I'm worried about him.
This is fine.
I'd rather laugh it all out to make me feel better.
Did you have a fight or something?
Not at all. We'd been having fun chatting on phone until the day before.
Is that so...
Oh! Maybe her ex forced himself onto her?
They were flirting, though...
Maybe they're siblings?
That can't be...
Then, maybe it's like a photo shoot!
Mika... Cut it out already.
You're not helping.
I kinda feel bad... I introduced her, thinking that you two would make a good couple.
You did nothing wrong, Kuramoto-san.
I'm totally fine.
Sasahara...
As one great man said, "Drink all your pain away in bad times."
It's gonna be my treat tonight, so cheer up.
M'kay...
Uwoooooaaah!
Gigolo Man enters the stage!
Stop, you're embarrassing! Come on, let's go!
Alright! Let's go to the next bar, then!
We'll hit the karaoke box after that!
Nah, we'll end it here.
Huh!? Why, aren't you gonna treat us tonight?
Sorry, I have a date tomorrow. We'll go to DisneySea.
Let me go with you, please!
Are you nuts? I'll be with my girlfriend! Stop bugging me!
You go home the same way, right?
Sorry, Kuramoto. I'll leave him to you.
Oh, how nice...
Okay!
Let's calm down and go home now.
'kay...
Please stand clear as the doors close.
To tell you the truth, things aren't going great between me and my boyfriend.
We can't even hold conversations lately.
And when we do, we always end up arguing.
Riko stepped in to mediate on one bad occasion.
She was actually a nice girl...
She may be a good girl, but I'm done with her after her affair.
Haha...
Love is such a complicated thing, isn't it?
Well, I gave up on her after seeing that.
They were flirting like lovebirds!
She's like, "It's embarrassing to do that here, Shunpei"!
That guy she was with... How does he look like?
How he looks like?
He's a short-haired guy with glasses.
Do you mean...
...this guy?
Yeah...
I see... I see...
I get it now...
That spectacled lecher...
He whacked me badly once, had a vasectomy,
and jammed a mic and a penlight up my ass!
And wasn't he supposed to be at the "Bloodbath Concert 2020" nationwide tour?
C-Calm down...
What's going on here?
By the way, is it okay for me to be here?
What's the problem? He and I aren't living together here.
Come on, Sasahara-kun. You drink too.
I'll pass. I'm starting to sober up, anyway.
You see, I already drank too much...
It's okay, we're off tomorrow.
Keep me company until morning comes...
Nah, nah...
Phew... Seriously, this is horrible...
That can't be...
Okay, I made up my mind. I'll break up with him.
Huh? Are you sure?
I'm at my wits' end, anyway.
What are you gonna do, Sasahara?
Uhh... I'm definitely breaking up with her.
Maybe I'll stay a virgin my whole life... What am I even saying...
Huh? You haven't done it with Riko yet?
Huh? Uhh, yeah...
Hmm...
By the way...
I've been wondering about it since earlier...
Why did that get hard?
Huh!?
Huh?
W-Wait...
I bet that you're thinking about something weird.
Uhh, well...
We can't do this...
Why?
Why, you ask? You're drunk, Kuramoto-san.
We can't do this because I'm drunk?
Th-That's not it... The liquor is impairing your judgement...
Let's take it that way, then.
Time-out! If you keep doing that...
What, is it about to come out?
Well then...
I have some rubber there, so...
No, that's not a good idea. Let's calm down for a moment.
No can do...
You might regret this later...
I don't care.
Oh shit!
This is too much!
When you show me something like that...
...how can I hold back!
Whoa!
No...
Her whole body feels soft...
This feels heavenly!
W-Wait... That's...
I'll come right away!
I'm coming!
What should I do? I started to want more...
Umm, listen...
I don't do this with just anyone, okay?
I-I understand...
For some reason, I thought that I'm okay with this if it's with you...
How is it?
It feels amazing...
If you move that fast, it might be hard for me...
Are you gonna come just like this?
You can shoot it anywhere you want.
Anywhere I want?
Huh?
Ohh...
There's no stopping me now...
This feels too good.
I don't care about being cheated on anymore.
That's your boyfriend...
I don't care about that guy. Let's go on the bed.
That Mika... Where is she?
Oh, Hello? Riko?
Is Mika there with you?
Is that so? I can't reach her through her phone.
Yeah, right... She hasn't read my messages yet.
No, there's no way she found out.
Huh? With another man? There's no way.
She's not that kind of woman.
Well, whatever... I'll be there.
We already ran out of rubber...
You can shoot it inside me.
That would be...
Are you sure about this?
Yeah.
No...
Ahh! Wow, this is incredible! More!
Oh no! You're going deep!
Kuramoto, san! I wanna let it out!
Yes, give it to me!
We both broke up with our lovers after that.
And sure enough, I started dating Kuramoto-san.
Riko and that guy seem to have realized what happened and said nothing about it.
I thought that there will be a bloodbath, so it felt a bit anti-climactic.
What's up? You seem to be lost in thought.
I'm just thinking...
...how reaching adulthood feels a little lonely.
What is that, a wise man's proverb or something?
By the way, I ran across Riko in the café yesterday.
She was making an awkward face and ignored me.
Well, it can't be helped... Not that I'm still angry about it.
And to be honest, I'm having more fun right now.
I had been pushing myself hard dating that guy too.
I think it's for the best that I started going out with you.
Don't worry.
I will never ever betray you.
