Kiriko to Haruki

THUNDER GATE
FIVE YEARS AGO
SEPTEMBER 12, 2034
TEN YEARS SINCE THE CALAMITY
Five years ago,
we made our living
in the Electro-Kart Racing industry.
TEAM FUNAYAMA - KIRIKO TAKEHAYA
Come on, Ozaki!
Katayama!
Kiriko!
- Come back!
- Stop there!
Takehaya?
Damn it.
Don't chase them too far! Haruki!
Let's get the hell outta here.
But that little brat has seen our faces.
What?
Looks like you've been looking after
our young lad, huh?
Robin!
These guys have been making fake tickets!
TENGOKU-DAIMAKYO
TENGOKU-DAIMAKYO
Did you think you could kill me
with a tiny scrap of metal?
Haruki, when you fight your enemies,
you don't need to stare into their eyes.
Glaring is just something cowards do
when they want to get away
with only intimidating their opponents.
Avoid the eyes,
and concentrate on the collar instead.
Then focus on the ground,
check how it feels beneath your feet.
Those who do nothing
but look at their opponents, lose.
Let's hand these guys over to the boss.
Nice going, Haruki.
If you want something, just ask me.
We're back!
What meat is that?
Monkey, crow and mouse. I think.
Wow, cool jacket!
Robin gave it to me.
It's a little baggy.
He'll grow into it quickly, though!
Now I want something too.
How about trousers?
Bet they'll fit if you cut them in half.
My legs are not that short!
I'm hungry.
Sis, you're back!
Where did you finish?
Didn't you see? I was disqualified.
I fell out of my kart.
What? Did you hurt yourself?
No, I'm okay.
The other drivers went around me.
Right, Doc?
That's so dangerous.
You gotta be more careful!
You really should drive more safely.
I get it, I get it.
REPORTS OF SPECTATORS
GOING MISSING
Oh, yeah, Kiriko.
I attached a flash to my camera.
Let's take some new photos to sell.
Take one of me and Doc, then.
I'm good, thanks.
Ready!
- Time to go.
- Okay.
Thanks, Doc.
Haruki, I heard the doc
is researching "Man-eaters,"
and even experimenting on humans.
What?
Robin's investigating at the moment.
But it'd be better if Kiriko
didn't get too close to him.

KIRIKO AND HARUKI TAKEHAYA
Haruki, aren't you cold?
No, you?
Freezing.
Wanna get in here?
You're actually getting in?
What's happening?
There's a Man-eater in the third district!
It's not coming this way,
so go back to sleep.
- Let's go, Robin!
- Coming!
Are you going?
It's okay, I have the gun that I made,
and I want to be helpful to Robin.
If I think about those days
they seem like heaven to me now.
KIRIKO AND HARUKI
Not bad.
You killed a Man-eater
with that weapon last week?
Yeah.
I'm not playing around!
I told you not to come. It's dangerous!
I made Robin angry, though.
Ten years ago, Robin had a sister my age.
He lost her in the Great Disaster.
Since then, he's been overprotective.
Wait! What time is it?
Which watch is right again?
- That one.
- Twenty after two.
I have to go! Sis's race starts at three!
See you later!
Robin might be overprotective,
but that guy is obsessed with his sister.
Right?
SEPTEMBER 20, 2034
TEN YEARS SINCE THE CALAMITY
Okay, just made it.
Help!
There's a Man-eater
at the end of the track!
It can turn invisible,
same as the one before!
All karts are off at once!
What kind of race will it be today?
Sis.
The Man-eater's gone into the arcade.
It's probably seven or eight minutes
until the karts get there.
I'll drive it away.
I know I can do it.
After the long straight,
karts eight, three and four
round the second corner.
It's a crash for two and five,
a spin that will set them way back!
The rest are off towards Sensoji.
Number four, Takehaya,
you pulled that off well!
- Goddamn it!
- Nice one, Kiriko!
Where is it?
Has it left the course?
Got it!
Unbelievable, it barely hurt it.
Finally, got a hit.
My arm!
Let me go!
It's eating me.
Robin, help me!
Takehaya's in the lead,
exiting the third corner
towards the arcade.
They'll be momentarily out of sight.
The Asakusa Race Association
is in the process of arranging for cameras
to be installed throughout the course.
If you can offer such a service,
then by all means, please get in touch.
Stop! There's a Man-eater!
Call the race off!
Go back and tell the headquarters.
Okay.
Haruki?
Haruki!
Give him back.
Let him go!
Haru No.
It can't be.
Somebody! Anybody, quickly!
Help!
Sis
She's so close.
Sis

Everyone
Sis?
My head
It's so hot.
Sis.
Sis?
Sis!
Takehaya has regained consciousness!
Apparently,
there's another Man-eater in the area,
and a child is dead.
That's horrifying.
Excuse me.
Why
Si-- Sis?
Me?
The patient, she--
Takehaya!
You shouldn't be walking yet!
Stop! I'm Haruki!
- Where's Sis?
- Get a tranquilizer!
- Going!
- I want my sister! Sis!
- You need to calm down.
- Sis! Sis!
I think that
the shock of her brother's death
has led her to believe
that she is her brother.
The poor girl.
The doctor.
What did the doctor do?
He must know what happened.
Where's the doctor?
After giving you both medical attention,
the doctor left town.
You were both brought here
on the verge of death.
SURGERY IN PROGRESS
What happened to your brother
is incredibly upsetting,
but no matter what treatment we used,
without the doctor,
I believe you would both be dead.
SOJI HOSPITAL
I don't understand.
Last time I saw her,
she was crying, but definitely alive.
Was she eaten by the Man-eater?
One thing is undeniable.
I am definitely still Haruki.
The proof of that
is the sorrow splintering through me
at the news of my sister's death,
and the occasional faint solace
of having inherited
the body of someone I love.
By the time my sister's wounds had healed,
and I could start to move her body again,
nearly four months had passed.
Robin must be investigating
what that doctor was up to.
I'm sure he will be able to figure it out.
He'll be able to tell me
why I have become my sister,
and why she had to die.
ASAKUSA RACE ASSOCIATION HEADQUARTERS
Excuse me.
I'm hoping to see Robin Inazaki
from the Asakusa Race Association--
That's not possible.
Sometime around September last year,
I'm pretty sure he was murdered.
There was an increase in disappearances
around here last year.
Seems he got tangled up
in trying to investigate.
Then, just like that,
he ended up disappearing too.
Ken! Ran!
Director!
Anyone!
Please! What happened to
the orphanage that was here?
- It was moved elsewhere.
- What?
Their highest earning racer died
REPORTS OF SPECTATORS
GOING MISSING
and the leader went missing.
I expect with all the bad luck,
they gave up on this town.
Sis.
Robin.
Then, just like that,
he ended up disappearing too.
The leader went missing.
"Missing"?
"Disappeared"?
There isn't actually any proof
that Robin is dead.
There's no way Robin can be dead.
He must be alive somewhere.
The doctor.
The doctor has the answer to everything.
Where Robin is, why my sister is dead
and why I'm living inside her body!
TRIP GUARD
PROTECTION FROM WILD ANIMALS,
BANDITS AND MAN-EATERS - KIRUKO
After that, I lived in various towns,
searching for the two of them,
accepting requests,
and doing everything by myself.
Four years later, I met you in Nakano.
DO NOT ENTER
It's the first time I've told anyone that.
I want to check something with you.
Would it be better
if I stopped calling you "Sis"?
That?
Don't worry about it.
You've been calling me that for a month,
pretty sure we're both used to it now.
Well, there you go.
You'll have to think of me as a man now.
I can't wrap my mind around it
just like that!
Anyway,
you're getting pretty good looking.
I'm sure you'll meet someone
more appropriate soon.
I won't find a girl
I get along with this well.
That's because we're both guys.
So the photo of Jane Inamura, right?
It's Robin Inazaki.
What do you think about him?
Well,
we grew up in the same house,
so I guess he's like family.
But he's also a close friend.
I suppose I admire him.
Because we're both guys! I look up to him.
You still don't get it, do you?
What do you expect
when you tell someone something like that?
Maybe a good night's sleep
will sort your head out.
Fine.
Maybe when I wake up
this will all turn out to be a dream.
What now? What's the racket for?
What is it?
There was a huge fish outside the window.
A fish?
The window is wet,
even though it's not raining.
Strange.
Maru, go and tell the captain
to keep an eye--
A Man-eater.
Is it a baby?
Can I have it?
I promised to give this one to Tokio.
You can have the next.
Sounds good to me!
I like your weird drawing.
You think it's weird?
Obviously! Proper babies--
Climbing on tables is forbidden, Kuku.
Stop annoying Kona and come with me.
Hey--
If you're going to be nasty about them,
then stop asking for Kona's drawings!
I was saying they were good!
Besides, I've seen one. A real baby.
Real babies don't have faces.
Want to go and see it?
