... Hm?

*me at the end of episode 12 of Go For It, Nakamura-kun!!*: (っ °Д °;)っ ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚ (┬┬﹏┬┬) ಥ_ಥ (。﹏。*) (´Д`；)

Waiting for the yoga class and I’m pretty worn out already?

And I haven’t drawn anything in days? Because spending my free time with Tomo Life is easier?

Ah, another gym day. I woke up to the dulcet sounds of my groans as my calf cramped up.

(*tears in my eyes, laughing*) Goddamn, that was a good Jugemu...

It was a pretty eventful Sunday.

I had a reservation at Sweets Paradise for their Gintama collab in the afternoon and had planned to go to the Pride Festival beforehand. But, I didn't factor in my general laziness... nor how long it would take to finger-curl my hair.

I forgot to take a picture of the Kagura standee... ack.

The collab is extra food on top of Sweets Paradise's buffet prices. I didn't get any of the all-you-can-eat cakes, just some pasta and fried chicken after the collab food. I just didn't feel in the mood for so much sugar.

That is also why I didn't order the giant Kamui-themed parfait.

Was pretty disappointed that the Kagura-themed set wasn't available.

I did end up striking a bit of a friendly conversation with the pair of ladies sitting next to me. They practically ran to the shop to meet their reservation time, and since I was 15 minutes early for mine, I let them jump in front of me in line. They gave me some Gintoki freebies as thanks.

The Hijikata Special-themed tart, by the way? Disgusting. Simply awful. They used real mayo in the whipped cream. It was salty and sour in an unpleasant way that did not pair well with the custard cream filling.

I nearly gagged.

Wanted to practice drawing dogs properly.

And I'm off to the mall for fancy pens and, hopefully, a can of root beer.

Hopefully, it doesn't get so bad here that I'll have to evacuate.

Lesson 3 of Class 3-Z Deluxe: "People with naturally wavy hair will surprising do their best when covering other people's shifts."

... or something like that.

The first couple of lines took me out.

"Teachers also have days off. "It's Monday, but it's a national holiday. Sakata Ginpachi is in town to buy that week's Shonen Jump. He's wearing his usual white lab coat, but that's only because of laziness."

He's so lazy, he wears work clothes outside of work.

I know that level of laziness on a spiritual level, and I laughed so hard...

The next sentence, Hasegawa, while doing deliveries, rides pass Ginpachi and crashes his bike when he loses his balance.

Soon after, we get the premise: Hasegawa's gig app accidentally registers Ginpachi as Hasegawa's 'help', and now Ginpachi has to do Hasegawa's deliveries. Not helping might lead to Hasegawa and Gintoki being banned by the app's company.

And by 'banned', they mean 'getting shot at by a certain dude with a Psychogun for an arm'.

After a long scene of the Disciplinary Committee using flower and candy language to make a bunch of manzai jokes, Kondo decides it's too much work to put together a good bouquet and sweets combo that conveys his feelings for Tae.

Instead, he decided being unpretentiously forthright and open will convey his determination. So... he's going to ambush Tae while wearing only his underwear and a suit of armor made out of macarons a la Saint Seiya.

"You're just a Macaron Saint!" HIjikata retorts.

Meanwhile, Ginpachi has Shinpachi gather the five people (Tae, Kagura, Sacchan, Tsukuyo, and Matako) who gave Ginpachi chocolate in the Valentine's Day story from the previous book. They're to meet in the trash-strewn bit of empty land on the path between the bike racks and the school pool, where Ginpachi plans to give them some Donkiriman chocolates as thanks for the chocolates they gave him on Valentine's Day.

He has a drawer-full of the stuff in his desk.

Well... each one comes with a sticker, so I guess it's a decent trade?

However, before he could even try to give them their gifts, Kondo barrels in with a war cry, knocking Ginpachi down with such force, the shock wave sends everyone to the ground.

The girls' clothes are now covered in dirt. Tae, speaking for the rest of the ladies, asks, "Is this your response to Valentine's Day, Sensei?"

Ginpachi stammers and tries to take the Donkiriman chocolates out of his pocket, but she wallops both him and Kondo before he has a chance.

The last scene is a short one between Matako and the guys in the Takasugi faction. They give her a drawstring pouch with cookies inside as thanks for the chocolates she gave them the month before.

She's disappointed to see Shinsuke-sama is not there (he's at abacus lessons) and there are only three cookies inside the pouch (one each from Takechi, Bansai, and Nizou). However, Bansai points out that the pouch itself was one Takasugi got from his abacus cram school as a reward for perfect attendance.
