Let's give this a go!
"The Unknown Sempai."
The Unknown Sempai
I began attending Tanenashi High School this spring.
Tanenashi High School
Participation in clubs here is mandatory,
so despite my desire to abstain, I was forced to find a club that was to my liking.
I'll probably go with a literature club.
Club Activities Map Sports Clubs Literature Clubs
A club where I can coast, where they won't get mad
if I leave early to play video games...

Magic Club?
No, that's not right...
Maybe I'll give it a peek.
How about this? No, this!
Yes, that's it! Perfect!
And I'll end it like this!
Welcome to the world of...
magic?
Sorry to barge in on you like that.
She blew chunks!
What's her deal?
She's red as a beet, she's covered in sweat...
And she barfed!
She's not sick, is she?
A-Are you all right?
Should I go get a teacher?
I'm f-f-fine! Don't worry!
I have j-j-just the medicine for when this happens!
A chronic illness? Sounds rough.
Write down "person" over and over...
And swallow!
She's just got stage fright!
Okay, feeling better!
Let's do this!
Do what, exactly?
My trick to welcome newcomers!
I already saw it. It's okay.
Now I just need...
Um, your hat is moving...
Where did I put it?
There it is!
Then I need this and this... What's wrong?
Um...
I can't bring myself to say it.
Now I'll introduce you to my very special partner!
She means the bird that escaped!
Behold!
Nothing inside, is there?
Yes, it's empty.
But when I drape it with this cloth, my dear partner will...
She realized it. What should I do?
What's wrong, partner?
"My stomach hurts, so I'm taking it easy."
That's what he said!
What a lame excuse!
Let's get things back on track!
Time for a bill-cutting magic trick!
Boing-boing!
A 1,000 yen bill, if you please.
Hell no!
It's not thrilling if I don't get it from the audience!
I don't care if it's thrilling!
Give it, give it, give it!
What if you mess up?!
I won't!
I still gave it, though
Whatever you do, do not cut that!
Here I hold precious income that my kouhai depends on!
What a travesty it would be if I cut it in half!
Look! A clean cut right through the middle!
But that's only the beginning!
When I open the envelope...
You're kidding me! Is my money okay?!
The 1,000 yen bill has... transported into my wallet!
Amazing! Isn't that magical?
That's dedication.
Well? How did you like my beautiful trick?
Your nose is running.
Well, I'm out.
Are you sure?
You haven't even seen the main event.
I've seen enough. Goodbye.
I'll do it without an audience, then.
I call it "Adorable Sempai in Terrible Bondage!"
Bondage?
Sempai finds herself in a truly desperate state!
How will she ever escape?!
Both eyes open! Blink and you'll miss it!
And now...
What the...
How did I make it worse?!
How'd you screw it up that bad?! That's somehow more impressive!
Why is this happening?!
"Sempai in a Box."
Sempai in a Box
This sucks.
I want my money back.
Is that...
It's Sempai! And she's already blowing it!
She saw me!
Over there! That's my assistant!
Assistant?
Hey! Assistant!
Since when am I your assistant?!
Don't run, Assistant! I need some money!
No way!
She caught me, though
How is she so fast?!
You can't escape your sempai, Assistant-kun.
Now, just buy time until I get things ready!
I'm trying to recruit people for the club!
No way! I don't know anything about magic!
Just do something!
But what?
I don't like this.
I have here an ordinary student ID...
Look! It's floating!
That sucks.
So obvious.
Sempai, hurry!
Assistant-kun!
Where did you learn that trick?!
Forget that and get ready already!
Oh, right, I'm getting ready!
Buy me a little more time!
Okay, I'll make the pen disappear.
Twirl the pen behind my hand in the instant it's hidden, and...
Behold! It's disappeared!
Hey, not bad.
Better than the last one.
Passable.
Hey, I got a little praise.
But someone's looking at me enviously...
I'm terribly sorry for the long wait.
It's time for the main event!
The escape from the s-s-sealed box!
W-W-Watch and be amazed!
You don't exactly look ready to do magic.
Don't worry.
You can do it, Assistant-kun.
Your sempai believes in you!
You're the one doing it!
Well, I guess I'd better lock it and drape this cloth over the top!
3 Minutes Later
She might really pull it off!
5 Minutes Later
10 Minutes Later
She gave up!
What happened?
What should I do? I guess...
What in the world?
What's wrong?
Um, looks like the show is over! Later!
I'm exhausted.
That's right... Sempai, are you alive?
You could tell I was in danger... What a fine assistant!
Why?!
Much too vulgar.
"Sempai Calls."
Sempai Calls
Huh? I can't find my house key.
I was sure I put it in here, though.
I-I have an announcement!
Assistant-kun in Year 1!
Who's "Assistant"?
Sounds scary.
Wait, I don't know his name...
She said they were in first year?
But it's me, Sempai!
Hey! You need permission to use the PA!
I wonder what it's about?
What's going on?
P-Please come to the club room at—
Never do that again, please!
Faster than I expected. You never fail to impress, Assistant-kun.
Did you hear what I said?
And what's with that outfit?
I just made some bread.
I thought I'd treat you.
Is it poisoned?
Of course not! It's delicious!
See?
It doesn't look toxic, at least.
Go on! Eat it before it gets cold!
I remain suspicious. You eat one first.
Darn it! It's not nice to mistrust people for no reason...
Do it!
Delicious!
She looks like a squirrel.
Fine, I'll eat it. I'm hungry, anyway.
Is that...
Were you shocked? You were shocked, weren't you?!
A round of applause for Sempai!
Hey, Assistant-kun?
I got in like you asked, but you haven't told me what the trick is.
Sempai's a little cramped in here, you know.
Hey... you're still there, aren't you?
Um...
Let's keep my hot streak going!
Now, for my next trick...
Can't you at least be quiet while I'm eating?
Will you die if you stop or something?
I will! I'm like a tuna!
A tuna?
My next trick will be performed with my own hands!
It'll hurt a little, but I'll do my best!
Hurt? How?
I call it "The Terrifying Blood-Drenched Thumb Severance Trick!"
Could you please not do that while I'm eating?!
Sempai... a drink...
You need a drink, right?! Hang on!
Ta-dah!
Everyone knows milk goes great with bread!
And today we'll be using this newspaper as a cup!
What's that? "It'll spill," you say?
I've got it handled!
She's going to kill me!
I'm choking, so just let me drink it!
Sempai will do it! Just you wait!
Are you a child?!
Ow, ow, ow...
Sempai...
Even my shirt is soaked...
Oh, I swallowed.
"Sempai and the Pigeon."
Sempai and the Pigeon
Chemistry Prep Room
Fun Magic Club
Greetings, Assistant-kun!
I see you're here early!
You'd come calling if I wasn't.
By the way, Sempai, what is...
An excellent question!
Riddle me this! What is underneath this cloth?
A pigeon, right?
But are you sure it's okay to have that in school?
Of course!
S t u d y i n g
After the embarrassing incident the other day,
B a t h i n g
this pigeon and I have spent the day thick as thieves,
S l e e p i n g
trying to build up a relationship of trust!
Lucky-ass bird...
Do you mind if I ask why magicians' pigeons are always white?
I shall provide a detailed explanation for my curious Assistant-kun!
Explanation!
About the white pigeons used in magic tricks
Leucism
White pigeons are also known as doves,
A little smaller.
and we specifically use the species Streptopelia roseogrisea.
Magicians like them because they're small and easy to conceal,
and because they're white, they look big and beautiful
I can't hear you over the pigeon.
when they spread their wings!
Anyway, let's get you out of that cage!
Are you sure about this?
No need to worry!
Your sempai has formed a deep bond with this creature!
No need to be scared. No need to be scared.
No need to be scared...
I'm scared!
It took flight!
A mean dog bites the hand that feeds it.
A mean pigeon, in this case...
This is no time for self-pity!
It's gonna mess up the club room!
No worries! Sempai has a plan.
Come, dear! It's time for dinner!
Dinner
It's coming back!
Eat up!
But it wanted dessert.
Are you all right?
The pigeon went... inside.
It tickles! S-Stop it...
I think it's hitting her pressure points!
What now?
Something's... moving down...
Vwip
She gave birth?!
Um... that was... "The Giving Birth to a Pigeon Trick."
She's so lying!
Wait! Don't go!
B-B-Bahamut!
That's one hell of a name!
