People had for long associated Mamori with the Discipline Committee of which she was a member of since her first year at Daemon. When other members of such Committee were being shy about it and kept to themselves when they saw an infraction, Mamori was on it before the perpreator could even blink. Every single one of her friends had been one day or another at the wrong end of her sharp pencil and her icy glance, be it for silly excuses and unfounded absences, amendments to the uniform, irrespectuous tone with others, and usage of electronic devices in the classroom. It goes without saying that if someone were to arrive always late or not eve

HiruMamo CELLPHONES

Mamori Anezaki was the kind of person to always have her cellphone on her fully charged. She had all the international numbers of emergency services for Japan and the rest of the world in the memory. In addition to numbers, birthdays and addresses like any person would have, she had blood types, food intolerances, dating history, next of kin info, and clothing sizes for all her contacts past and present. She was never idle on her phone or hanging up first and always switched it off when in an hospital or a cinema. Mamori was a no non-sense kind of girl and her phone reflected it: It was a Nokia 3310. Youichi Hiruma was the kind of person t

Wrapping Paper

The day had gone as expected. Hiruma had been screaming at the top of his lungs despite the cold, the snow and the discarded hand-made scarf ("Fucking Manager, dispose of this thing and don't get tempted to make me a new one before the next century!"); Mamori had been running all around the place to patch wounds and offer comfort ("It's just the Christmas spirit that’s got to his head, nothing to worry about, really"), and Cerberus had been clapping its massive jaws to linebackers' bottoms to make them that little bit faster on the field ("There is a damn pig in the clubhouse for a reason! Don't you like its bow or something?"). Towards

Candy Cane

She’s been at it all day. Sucking on it; nibbling on the tip; licking it from the corner of her mouth. She was in another world until some gunfire outside brought her back. He’s lost his temper again… Wiping her mouth, she rushed outside with the first aid kit. He burst through the door five minutes later and grabbed the first piece of chalk he saw. When said chalk broke against the blackboard with a weird squealing sound, he swore many obscenities. She returned just then and stared at him – hurt and disappointed, and whined: "Hiruma-kun! My candy cane, really?"

HiruMamo SUPERNATURAL

It all went out in a daze but none would have been happier than the Supernatural Club of Deimon the day following the Christmas Bowl victory of the football team. If before everybody thought they had won thanks to luck, it was not anymore the case as more and more journalists went looking for a plausible explanation: how come an outsider to previous editions of the Christmas Bowl suddenly qualifies and wins the most famous high school game of the year. If only Deimon was famous by its achievements in other sports, then maybe the pill would have been easier to swallow, but no. The only famous personality the school counted were three of its st

HiruMamo JEALOUSY

"You know," said Mamori while snuggling on the couch, "I really hate it when you do that." Hiruma, who so far had been innocently blowing bubble gum, raised a quizzical eyebrow to her remark. "When I do what?" "That." Another bubble. "I hate it that you can do it and I can't." "Of course you can. Everybody can." "I never succeed. And chewing gum in front of people is rude." "And why you should care? They speak bullshit to your face like it's true. They are the ones being rude!" "Are you perverting me?" "I am perverting you shit. Try it." He handed her a piece of gum. She kept looking at him. "How do I do it?" "Stop thinking too muc

HiruMamo EAR

Mamori pulled by the ear Shinichi in the corner. He was sulking when she went back to his little classmates. He stomped to show his frustration and crushed a foot. The kid looked warily to the lanky man standing near and blowing bubble gums. "Ow. Why does she do that?" Shinichi said. "Spare the rod and spoil the child," the spiky-haired man answered without looking down. The child looked better at Hiruma's big ears and made a face. "Then she must love you." One eyebrow shouted up to the sky and the mouth pulled into a grin. Ke ke ke

HiruMamo BUNNY COSTUME

Anezaki Mamori was not a violent person. She would not, for the life of her, hurt anybody, yet she had the feeling she was going to smack rudely a certain blonde over the top of the head. He had done it, again. Made her foolish in front of people just for his pure entertainment. And without either her consent or knowledge. How she hated him. But at the same time she hated herself for not thinking about it earlier. It all had begun this Saturday when she received a call from her childhood friend Kobayakawa Sena. He asked her to come to the amusement park right away because he was in quite a predicament. She flied more than run to him and was

HiruMamo PROPOSAL

She should have seen it coming. From Kariya's new slogan: "Would you marry the Devil for one of our creampuffs?" to proposals flourishing everywhere each time she took a step outside, she thought it was yet another coincidence or just spring. But not after this afternoon; Not after she saw calligraphy works of "結婚", drawings of a hero called shite or so many "kudasai" coming her way: "kekkon shite kudasai" was floating in the air. And she was not immune one bit. With him picking her up and asking her matter-of-factly: “Penny for your thoughts”.
