The Misanthrope and the Lonely Castle Under the Full Moon
Mr. Hitoma, the lipstick from before
Can you tell which one I went with,
coral pink or blossom pink?
Um
The coral pink looked like mentaiko, so
Coral pink?
You got it!
So what do you think?
I think it's fine.
Looks tasty.
Huh?
Whoa!
You really do like 'em young!
Mentaiko Sandwich
Hey, wait! No!
When I said it looks tasty,
I wasn't talking about Ohgami!
I meant mentaiko!
Hitoma really was into little girls.
Who'd have thought that's
where Mr. Hitoma's interests lie?
I don't think I can defend you here.
There's still much for me
to learn about human lunches
The Whole Sausage
Curry Bread
Do people eat unbalanced
meals like yours for lunch?
An entire loaf of white bread.
Whoa, that's nothing but carbs!
No, the curry bread has ground meat,
which counts as protein.
Hey, Mr. Hitoma!
You need some veggies
in you, not just carbs!
Here, take some of Isaki's sides!
Go on!
Eat as much as you like!
Wow, you really ate it all.
Ohgami!
You were shoving that down
thinking it'd be too much?!
My bad!
Teachers' Office
That's right
Mr. Hitoma, it was your first time
seeing Ohgami on the day of a full moon?
Yes.
She was acting so differently from usual,
I wasn't sure how to deal with her.
It's hard to wrap your
head around at first.
The first time I met her,
it took me by surprise.
It was like she was
a totally different person.
Yes.
Totally different, but still
the same in some ways.
Which makes it even more confusing.
The same?
That's right.
The normal Ohgami is low on energy,
and seems timid at first glance,
but her composure lets her listen
to what others say with an open mind.
Full Moon Ohgami is high on energy
and seems overbearing at first glance,
but her discretion lets her empathize
with others in a forward manner.
They take different routes, yet manage
to naturally fit in with other people.
Looks like you're doing
just fine, Mr. Hitoma!
Huh?
I'm surprised you managed to understand
Ohgami so well on the very first day.
It took me a while to pick up on it.
Wolves are animals
that form packs, after all.
Packs?
To her, the pack
that she's a part of now
Her friends must mean a lot to her.
Is that how it works?
But in that case
If her pack
Her friends mean a lot to her
then why did she leave her own wolf pack
in order to pursue becoming human?
Advanced Class
We'll leave off there.
Take care now.
I'll see you all tomorrow.
Ohgami.
Can you spare a moment?
Mr. Hitoma!
Now that's a bold move!
The two of us, all alone
in the classroom after school?
Sure thing! I'm totes free!
So? What are you gonna try on me?
I wanted to get a proper answer from you.
For why you want to become human.
Oh, my bad!
Just remembered I've gotta be somewhere!
See you next month!
Wait, wait, wait!
This is an important matter!
Listen here
Does it really matter?
Isaki's reason is none of your business.
Am I acting out of line?
Ugh, fine! You win!
I'll talk.
What is it?
Didn't you say you want to be human to
move on from your halfhearted existence?
What does that mean?
Having your two
personalities become one?
That's right.
Can you tell me a little more?
Think about it.
Would anyone want their personality
to change only when there's a full moon?
You have a point.
Normal Isaki feels the same way.
Before we came to this school,
I heard Isaki said that she
hated Isaki enough to want to kill her.
Hearing that bummed me out a little.
Like, she really hated me that badly, huh?
It makes sense, though.
Isaki's the unwanted one.
Me, that is.
So having Isaki be the only
one in this body is
How do I put it?
The right thing?
That's what I think.
Besides, Isaki loves Isaki.
That's why I want to make
Isaki's wish come true.
Her wish?
Getting rid of Isaki rid of me.
To become just normal Isaki.
That's Isaki's wish.
And what about you?
Not normal Ohgami,
but the one in front of me now.
How do you feel?
As for Isaki
Isaki's suffered all this time
because of Isaki.
So it's not Isaki's place to say anything.
Suffered?
Isaki's a werewolf, but
not the normal kind.
Most werewolves are humans who turn into
wolves on the night of a full moon, right?
The werewolves I know of, yes.
Isaki's the exact opposite.
Usually a wolf living among her pack,
who turns into a human on the full moon.
As for me
The full moon Isaki here right now
Normally, I wouldn't have
these ears or this tail.
Thanks to the school barrier,
Isaki gets to look the same as Isaki.
Cute, right?
You want to become a full-fledged human?
Isaki's wish is to not make
Isaki sad because of Isaki.
That's all.
In that case
Am I right saying that you're not
the one who wants to be human,
and it's the normal Ohgami personality
that wants to become human?
Yeah, you got it.
It's the wolf Isaki who wants to be human.
Normal Isaki.
No, that's not what I'm asking.
I didn't mean what you want.
I meant what normal Ohgami wants.
Does normal Ohgami feel the same way?
That's right.
At least, I think so.
We Isakis share what we see and hear,
but we don't share thoughts or emotions.
So I can't say for sure.
Hey, that means
If you're still curious,
ask Isaki tomorrow!
Isaki only gets to do what
she wants one day every month,
so I'm busy trying to get it all done!
Oh.
Sorry to hold you up.
'Kay, see ya next month!
Yes. She must feel the same.
I mean going through that
Who'd want that?
Hey, Mom.
How come I turn into someone else
on the day of the full moon?
Human blood runs
in our family's veins.
Human blood?
Yes.
Which is why rarely extremely rarely
We get pups like you who are born.
Why does everyone call me a mongrel?
Because I have no ears?
No tail?
Is it all my fault?
Did I do something wrong?
Why's it only me?
That hurts!
Hey, human!
You're a human, aren't you?
No! I'm a wolf!
I heard from my mom!
She said you smell like a human!
So you shouldn't be part of our pack!
You're a weirdo!
Why?
Why am I the only odd one out?
If it's wrong to be halfhearted
then if there was only one of us
Would that fix it?
I just need to become human!
Advanced Class
Ohgami's absent again?
That makes two weeks now.
Is she doing okay back in the dorms?
I think so.
None of you have seen her?
Isaki's confined herself to her room
since the day of the full moon.
We've tried to visit her many times,
yet she never lets us in.
She won't leave her room,
and all she says is, "I'm fine."
Knew you'd be here!
Die, die, die!
I'm not scared of you at all!
Yes, I beat it!
I really jumped up
in the rankings with that!
With my rank this high, maybe
I could make it big as a pro gamer!
Cut that out!
You're back to being a teacher now,
so don't even think about it!
Don't scare me like that.
I was just kidding.
Is everything going well at school?
Don't treat me like I'm a child.
You're still my child, aren't you?
I mean, sure, but still
Don't bottle up too much stress from work.
It's fine.
Nothing's happened that
would stress me out.
That's good to hear.
Hurry up and go to sleep.
I swear.
She worries way too much.
I'm not bottling anything up.
Another day without Ohgami
There, I'm done!
It's already gotten this late?
Guess I'll take a look around
before heading back.
Window's locked.
This kind of reminds me of a horror game.
That sounds like it came
from the advanced classroom.
Huh?
It went out again?
Ohgami?
Mr. Hitoma?
I was passing by outside,
when I noticed an open window.
And I got curious about what
the classroom is like at night.
We're on the third floor.
I felt I could reach it, so I jumped up.
Climbing a tree and then
making my way in from there.
Using your animal athleticism for
unhuman-like behavior on school grounds.
I could deduct points for that.
I'm sorry
Are you okay?
What?
That day we had the full moon.
Did something happen?
I'm sorry, I
You have it all wrong!
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to cause you any trouble
It's fine.
It's fine, really.
I wouldn't be troubled
by something like that.
I didn't want to see anyone.
It happens to all of us.
I always fumble my words
when they matter the most.
That's why she got the wrong idea
The wrong idea?
I heard your conversation
with human Isaki.
She thought I said I hated human
Isaki enough to want to kill her.
I would never feel that way!
The one I hate is my
wolf self here right now.
I hate myself so much,
I want to kill myself.
That's why I want the only personality
to be the human Isaki.
I want to erase all trace of myself!
That's why I want to become human.
And yet
Why would Isaki think that I hate her?
Why does she think
I've worked so hard up until now?
All of it's been
to give myself over to Isaki!
Why can't she understand?
She should be the one who knows me best!
There's no way I'd want this me
to become human!
I don't have a single redeeming trait.
I'm timid, weak, always
causing trouble for others,
always holding them down, hurting
the ones I love, and running away
Even now, all I can do
is whine and complain!
Causing you trouble,
unable to show kindness to anyone!
Always self-absorbed and never
taking others into consideration!
I really hate it!
I hate myself!
Ohgami.
Humans are quick to get the wrong idea.
We humans can only see
what's in front of us.
So whatever we can't see,
we mistakenly imagine in our heads.
Yeah.
I was the same back then.
Yes, back then
That's why we convey our
feelings through words.
So that others can see things
the way that we intended.
Ohgami.
The words you want to say the most.
Can you tell me and
the other Ohgami what they are?
The way you really feel,
the way you intend it.
I
I want Isaki to become human.
Yeah.
I want to cherish Isaki
more than anyone else.
Yeah.
But the thing
The thing I want to say the most.
The thing I want her to know.
All along, it's always been so simple.
I
I
I love Isaki so much!
Yeah.
Thanks for telling us.
Yes
Would this be the first time we've spoken?
Dear Isaki,
First, let me apologize for the
misunderstanding I've caused.
I thought you would understand everything
with the words, "I want to become human."
Since it was you, Isaki, who was human.
But it seems that wasn't the case.
You told Mr. Hitoma that
I had been suffering because of you.
And I thought you had been
suffering because of me.
Who'd have imagined that we
were both blaming ourselves?
It really is difficult to understand each
other without putting things into words.
I want to learn more
about the way you feel.
The fact that we were closer
than two people could ever be
means there's so much we
don't know about each other.
And so, will you join me
in starting an exchange diary?
I look forward to your response.
Dear Isaki
So hot
Man, it's humid.
Mr. Hitoma!
Look!
Remember how Isaki said some
pretty awful things last month?
Um
Which Isaki again?
When I say "Isaki",
there's only one Isaki it could be!
And how would I know?!
When I woke up today,
I found this notebook on my desk.
Dear Isaki
Since I share memories with Isaki,
I know what it says without reading it,
but I wanted to see it
with Isaki's own eyes.
Isaki decided to start
an exchange diary with Isaki!
From now on, we'll write down what
we think and feel all the time!
And like, Isaki wants to be
with Isaki from here on out as well!
Really?
Oh, but I wanna become human, too!
So I can wear lots of cute clothes
and all sorts of makeup!
That's why we'll do lots of talking with
this diary to figure out what's next!
Just the two of us!
Yeah.
I thought I should let you know.
I said my piece, so I'm heading out!
Sure.
Mr. Hitoma!
Thanks!
She passed through like a storm
That's right.
It's summer.
