1. Now that college is starting,
there are two goals I want to accomplish:Copy !req
2. First, I want to learn how to better handle
my supernatural sensitivity.Copy !req
3. Second, I want to get my social skills
back to what they were before the curse.Copy !req
4. Welcome, freshmen! If you're looking
for Reio Club Shore, we're meeting here!Copy !req
5. I'm handling my sensitivity by training my body
to be tough enough to resist spirits.Copy !req
6. As for my social skills...Copy !req
7. What do you think?Copy !req
8. Hey, that looks good!Copy !req
9. Not too flashy, doesn't make you look like
you're trying too hard.Copy !req
10. You look super approachable!Copy !req
11. You can change that much with just an outfit?Copy !req
12. It's less the outfit and more the impression.Copy !req
13. Wear the right thing at the right time and place,
and people will warm right up to you.Copy !req
14. Thanks. I'm glad I had you to help, Eiko.Copy !req
15. No prob!Copy !req
16. Okay...Copy !req
17. Now for the finishing touch!Copy !req
18. Glasses?Copy !req
19. Just frames. They'll make you look really smart.Copy !req
20. Okay...Copy !req
21. Now you're looking fashionable!Copy !req
22. You're gonna crush it at the welcome event tomorrow!Copy !req
23. Today, I'm finally going to make some friends!Copy !req
24. Hey, you a new freshman?Copy !req
25. I'm the president of Shore. Name's Nagayama.
Glad you're here with us!Copy !req
26. You a travel fan?Copy !req
27. Oh, uh, I...Copy !req
28. I'm here to make friends I can travel places with!Copy !req
29. Sounds like a plan. Stick around and you just might!Copy !req
30. G-great!Copy !req
31. I can do this!Copy !req
32. Let's go catch some scary spirits
and get them to kill some really bad ones.Copy !req
33. Together.Copy !req
34. I want to kill the spirit that cursed us.Copy !req
35. And to do that, we need to catch powerful spirits.Copy !req
36. Then, Eiko and I will be free of its curse.Copy !req
37. But that means diving deep into the world
of the supernatural and putting myself in danger.Copy !req
38. And when I think of how Eiko will want to help me,
it's not easy to make that choice.Copy !req
39. So today, I'm gonna do everything I can
to get back to living a normal life!Copy !req
40. Once I've got myself a head start on that,
I'll figure out my plan and tell Yayoi-chan!Copy !req
41. Oh, uh, I...Copy !req
42. I'm here to make friends I can travel places with!Copy !req
43. Eiko, bathroom's open.Copy !req
44. COMING!Copy !req
45. What did you just hide?Copy !req
46. N-nothing!Copy !req
47. Are you crying?Copy !req
48. Yeah. It's something Kei-kun said...Copy !req
49. REIO UNIVERSITYCopy !req
50. Eiko...Copy !req
51. I know enough people at school now
to have acquaintances to wave to in the halls...Copy !req
52. But they're all your friends! Or friends of your friends!Copy !req
53. And it sucks! I can literally feel we're not actually friends!Copy !req
54. I need to make myself some friends of my own!Copy !req
55. That's how I become a functioning member of society!Copy !req
56. And now he's off on his own...Copy !req
57. That sounds like a good thing.Copy !req
58. It is, but I'm a little sad.Copy !req
59. But I helped him get some nicer clothes
and gave him a pair of glasses!Copy !req
60. Yayoi-chan?Copy !req
61. YAYOI-CHAN!Copy !req
62. Well, well, well, what do we have here? Hmm?Copy !req
63. I-I'm Keitaro Gentoga, first-year Humanities student!Copy !req
64. You're a tech whiz, Eiko.Copy !req
65. I-I wouldn't say I'm a whiz...Copy !req
66. I think I get the gist. This program I'm looking at tracks:Copy !req
67. audio and video feeds, a heart and breath rate
and temperature monitor,Copy !req
68. and a bunch of other information to keep watch on him.Copy !req
69. The glasses you said you gave him
must have a camera in them. Did I guess right?Copy !req
70. Do you like Keitaro, Eiko?Copy !req
71. I sure do!Copy !req
72. Yikes. I love you, but this is a big yikes.Copy !req
73. Where did you even get something like this?Copy !req
74. I-I made it.Copy !req
75. Wow!Copy !req
76. Still, yikes.Copy !req
77. Die.Copy !req
78. Die, die, die...Copy !req
79. Is that a spirit?
Die, die, die...Copy !req
80. Yeah, whenever I spy on-Copy !req
81. I mean check in on him,
I can always hear something like that.Copy !req
82. You're just gonna say "yikes" again...Copy !req
83. Eiko, love is a beautiful emotion.Copy !req
84. That's not the impression you were giving me.Copy !req
85. I wasn't in my right mind.
I'm here to help, however you need me.Copy !req
86. CHIPSCopy !req
87. Hello, everyone, and welcome to Spying on Kei-kun!Copy !req
88. I'm your host, Eiko Hozuki!Copy !req
89. Here with me is analyst and extreme
occult enjoyer Yayoi Hozuki-chan!Copy !req
90. Thanks for having me.Copy !req
91. Okay, Yayoi-chan, do you think Kei-kun
will be able to make friends today?Copy !req
92. I'm excited to see just how badly he's going to screw up.Copy !req
93. Wow! So you don't think he's going to succeed
in the slightest! Talk about harsh!Copy !req
94. Let's get back to the feed and see what's going on!Copy !req
95. The anticipation is killing me.Copy !req
96. I'm going to make some new friends!Copy !req
97. But who do I talk to?Copy !req
98. Whoa-ho! He's freaking out about who to start talking to!Copy !req
99. Let's see what Keitaro will do!Copy !req
100. H-hey, I'm Keitaro Gentoga, I'm a Humanities major.Copy !req
101. H-how about you guys?Copy !req
102. He chickened out! C'mon, Keitaro, don't chicken out!Copy !req
103. He couldn't pick one, so he went for both!Copy !req
104. I'm Akira Ike. I'm studying law.Copy !req
105. I'm Kotoko Taira, I'm majoring in econ.Copy !req
106. We're totally different majors!
What do we even talk about?Copy !req
107. Wh-why'd you check out this club?Copy !req
108. We both like traveling.Copy !req
109. Yeah, that tracks...Copy !req
110. I love travel. I-I wanna see Kyoto.Copy !req
111. Y-yeah, Kyoto is great.Copy !req
112. Uh-huh.Copy !req
113. Wh-where do I go from here?Copy !req
114. Oh, no! Poor Keitaro doesn't know
the "How About You?" technique!Copy !req
115. And what's that technique?Copy !req
116. It's an easy way to keep a conversation going
by responding with simple quips like:Copy !req
117. "How about you?"Copy !req
118. "Why's that?"Copy !req
119. "What do you think?"Copy !req
120. "How about you?", "Why's that?", or "What do you think?"Copy !req
121. It's an excellent strategy,
but it's too tough for our little Keitaro!Copy !req
122. Kei-kun really can't do anything without my help!Copy !req
123. Kind of sounds like you like that.Copy !req
124. Hey, sounds like you're havin' a rough time.Copy !req
125. Oh! N-no, I'm okay...Copy !req
126. A bunch of us are gonna go out afterwards. You want in?Copy !req
127. It'll be a good chance to get to know more people.Copy !req
128. Whoa, now that is a huge opportunity!Copy !req
129. And you can hear the crowd agrees!Copy !req
130. Y-yeah, that would be great!Copy !req
131. Sweet!Copy !req
132. Gentoga-kun! Over here!Copy !req
133. Hello!Copy !req
134. H-hey, thanks for inviting me along!Copy !req
135. Wait, are you okay to drive?Copy !req
136. Yeah, I don't drink.Copy !req
137. Okay, let's go!Copy !req
138. Here, this'll help you sober up.Copy !req
139. Though you freshmen aren't old enough
to need to sober up, huh?Copy !req
140. Th-thanks, I'll have some.Copy !req
141. Where's your apartment?Copy !req
142. Over in Complex T. You know the building?Copy !req
143. No.Copy !req
144. Here I thought everyone knew about it.Copy !req
145. Wh-whoa...Copy !req
146. You okay?Copy !req
147. Y-yeah, just...Copy !req
148. This is gonna sound weird, but I-I'm pretty sensitive
to the supernatural, and I just got a wicked chill...Copy !req
149. Oh...?Copy !req
150. Then I've got the perfect story to tell you, Gentoga-kun.Copy !req
151. Huh?Copy !req
152. You see, there's a Suicide Club here at Reio U...Copy !req
153. So these creeps at Reio pretend to be a normal club,Copy !req
154. but during their welcome party,
they all commit mass suicide.Copy !req
155. W-wait, but if that club was a real thing,
the University would shut it down...Copy !req
156. Well, yeah, but they always change their name
and pretend to be a totally different club.Copy !req
157. You never know who they're hiding as...Copy !req
158. Unless you spot the one thing they all have in common.Copy !req
159. What's that?Copy !req
160. There's one name that always appears in their roster.Copy !req
161. They're the guy behind the club,
so you just need to arrest him to stop them, right?Copy !req
162. But no one ever did,Copy !req
163. because he always dies in the mass suicide.Copy !req
164. Then, the next year, someone else with that name
shows up to continue their legacy.Copy !req
165. The name of this elusive ringleader is none other than...Copy !req
166. Nagayama.Copy !req
167. Wait...Copy !req
168. I'm the President of Shore. Name's Nagayama.Copy !req
169. You're kidding, right?Copy !req
170. He's possessed!Copy !req
171. Wh-what's happening?Copy !req
172. Why am I so sleepy...?Copy !req
173. Eiko.Copy !req
174. This guy wasn't kidding around,
and he's not some murderous predator.Copy !req
175. He's being possessed by a ghost.Copy !req
176. Keitaro's in trouble.Copy !req
177. We need to rescue him.Copy !req
178. Where am I...?Copy !req
179. What's that noise?Copy !req
180. Okay, it's your turn.Copy !req
181. Want me to help?Copy !req
182. I looked up Complex T.Copy !req
183. Back in the 1980s, there were 133 suicides there.Copy !req
184. 133 suicides occurred at...Copy !req
185. A-a hundred and thirty-three?Copy !req
186. This spirit behind those suicides convinces living humans
to take their own lives.Copy !req
187. But why did it decide to go after clubs at Reio U?Copy !req
188. Well, Complex T must be pretty close to T Station, right?Copy !req
189. Yeah.Copy !req
190. It's along the line that goes to campus,Copy !req
191. M StationCopy !req
192. CampusCopy !req
193. Complex TCopy !req
194. Student ResidentsCopy !req
195. T StationCopy !req
196. so I'd assume lots of Reio students live there.Copy !req
197. It could possess a student, then join a popular clubCopy !req
198. M StationCopy !req
199. CampusCopy !req
200. and get them to commit mass suicide.Copy !req
201. And if the spirit's name is Nagayama,Copy !req
202. I'm Nagayama!Copy !req
203. then that would explain why Nagayama shows up
as a new person every time,Copy !req
204. because he's possessing someone new.Copy !req
205. That makes sense.Copy !req
206. Still, what does it accomplish
by leading a bunch of people to their deaths?Copy !req
207. I have an idea,Copy !req
208. but I'll know once we get there.Copy !req
209. C'mon, we're almost done. Don't fight it now.Copy !req
210. Eiko, hurry!Copy !req
211. I know!Copy !req
212. MACHIDACopy !req
213. This is it!Copy !req
214. But the door's locked...Copy !req
215. Not anymore.Copy !req
216. Really? That was easy!Copy !req
217. Only 'cause it's an old door.Copy !req
218. You go get Keitaro! I'll deal with the ghost!Copy !req
219. Wait... Hey!Copy !req
220. Kei-kun!Copy !req
221. Wh-what are they doing here?Copy !req
222. You shouldn't be in here.Copy !req
223. How the heck did you get in here, sweetheart?Copy !req
224. GOLD FLAKE SAKECopy !req
225. GOLD FLAKE SAKECopy !req
226. I got the demon out of him.Copy !req
227. But...Copy !req
228. You little shit...Copy !req
229. Die! Die, you bastards!Copy !req
230. I'll die, you'll die, everyone is going to die!Copy !req
231. DIE!Copy !req
232. The spirit's not in him anymore,
but he's still acting like it...Copy !req
233. I'm betting there's something about him
that made the spirit want to possess him...Copy !req
234. But now that I'm here, I'm not about to let him get away!Copy !req
235. Sh-she took down a grown man...!Copy !req
236. His real name's Machida.Copy !req
237. Reio Student Arrested for Club-Related ViolenceCopy !req
238. He was arrested, but released on a suspended sentence.Copy !req
239. When he got back to the real world,
people started treating him as no more than a criminal,Copy !req
240. so he lost all faith in humanity.Copy !req
241. And it was that anger he had for them
that got him possessed...Copy !req
242. If you want to die,
don't drag other people along with you.Copy !req
243. The choice to ruin or end a life
belongs to the person living that life.Copy !req
244. The police can handle this from here.Copy !req
245. Book it!Copy !req
246. As fast as you can!Copy !req
247. Hey, wait for me!Copy !req
248. Keitaro, I'm glad you're okay.Copy !req
249. Yeah, same. Thanks.Copy !req
250. Glad to help!Copy !req
251. We lucked out. If he'd burned charcoal
in there, you'd be dead.Copy !req
252. You're right.Copy !req
253. Carbon monoxide poisoning is usually how
group suicides go, so why'd he chose hanging instead?Copy !req
254. Kei-kun? What's wrong?Copy !req
255. It's weird... I-I've never felt this before.Copy !req
256. I felt a ghost, or something, just appear,
then all of the sudden, it was gone.Copy !req
257. Keitaro, remember what I told you
about spirits killing other spirits?Copy !req
258. Yeah, why?Copy !req
259. Technically, spirits are already dead.
They can't die again.Copy !req
260. Okay, but what does that have to do with this?Copy !req
261. Well, spirits lose energy over timeCopy !req
262. RIGHT AFTER DEATHCopy !req
263. and eventually pass on.Copy !req
264. PASS ONCopy !req
265. But some spirits don't want to pass on,
and try to linger in our world.Copy !req
266. To do that, they need more energy,
which they get from consuming other spirits.Copy !req
267. The consumed spirits don't die,
but provide their energy to the predator spirit,Copy !req
268. becoming all but "dead" once again.Copy !req
269. That's what happens when a spirit 'kills' another.Copy !req
270. As for what you just felt...Copy !req
271. MACHIDACopy !req
272. The guy Nagayama was possessing, that Machida guy?Copy !req
273. Just killed himself.Copy !req
274. What?Copy !req
275. You asked why he chose hanging instead.Copy !req
276. Now I know why.Copy !req
277. It put their body at the right height to devour their guts.Copy !req
278. When you felt the spirit appear,
that was the moment Machida died.Copy !req
279. When he disappeared, he'd been devoured.Copy !req
280. Nagayama orchestrated the group suicides
to consume the souls of the deadCopy !req
281. so he could stay in the world of the living.Copy !req
282. We're leaving.Copy !req
283. Yayoi-chan?Copy !req
284. This one's devoured over a hundred souls.
She'd be the perfect snack.Copy !req
285. That day, an urban legend came to a quiet end...Copy !req
286. There shouldn't be any more suicides
at Complex T anymore.Copy !req
287. The students he'd tried to kill
were rescued from certain death.Copy !req
288. And we bolted out of there
before the first responders showed up.Copy !req
289. Talk about a welcome party...Copy !req
290. Instead of making friends,
I got sucked into another supernatural adventure...Copy !req
291. Not that I was doing a great job
making friends in the first place.Copy !req
292. Y-you gave it a shot, and that's what counts!Copy !req
293. Keitaro, making friends is S-rank tough.
You're gonna die a lot before you win.Copy !req
294. I'd rather not die, thanks!Copy !req
295. I feel like I've had way more ghost stuff
to worry about this year already...Copy !req
296. Spirits are naturally drawn to you.
It's gonna be tough avoiding the supernatural.Copy !req
297. You'd be better off learning how to deal with them
when you run into them.Copy !req
298. She's right.Copy !req
299. If I'm gonna be stuck with them,
I might as well learn how to handle incidents myself.Copy !req
300. I'll get rid of the curse and be able to live a normal life
without fearing any ghost attacks.Copy !req
301. And I'll be able to protect not only myself,
but the people I love, too.Copy !req
302. But... do I really have what it takes?Copy !req
303. Can I face my fears head-on...Copy !req
304. like she does?Copy !req
305. I'll teach you everything you need to know.Copy !req
306. Wow, Yayoi-chan, you're gonna be the sexy tutor now?Copy !req
307. You know it, babe.Copy !req
308. Wait a sec, how did you guys know I needed help?Copy !req
309. Gulp!Copy !req
310. I didn't tell you where I was gonna be.Copy !req
311. Call it... a woman's intuition.Copy !req
312. Wow, Yayoi-chan! I didn't know you could do that, too!Copy !req
313. I literally just made that up.Copy !req
314. But he ate it up!Copy !req
315. I'm lucky I have you girls to help, then!Copy !req
316. Keitaro, Eiko, and Yayoi decide to go camping.Copy !req
317. Amidst the swaying greenery,
the babbling river, and the crackling fire,Copy !req
318. their distance is closed,
and hidden emotions are quietly revealed.Copy !req
319. But danger lurks nearby...Copy !req
