Killing Time

 * Killing Time by Fumiko Takada (Pages 009 - 016)
 * Ki-Bo wondered out loud how Shūichi was so popular with the girls, thus Kokichi decided to tease him by claiming Shūichi was a girl. Ki-Bo, of course, doesn't believe him, and Kokichi told him to ask around with the other students to prove otherwise. The pair go to Miu for proof, and Miu explained a situation where she tried to take Shūichi's hat and that Shūichi coldly glared at her in return, much to her chagrin.


 * The pair leave, with Ki-Bo still doubtful, they then ran into Tsumugi. The group watched Shuichi go into the men's restroom, then Tsumugi proudly explained when she is "cross-playing" as a male character, even she used the men's restroom. Still not convinced, Ki-Bo questioned his doubts about Shūichi's gender which Gonta overheard. Kokichi teased Gonta by telling him he is being "ungentlemanly" towards Shūichi, which upset Gonta greatly. Kokichi, after he's able to calm down Gonta, explained to Ki-Bo whatever Shūichi's choices or quirks are, they should all support him. Both Gonta and Ki-Bo, now resolved, plan to be "gentlemanly" and "watch over" Shūichi, to Shūichi's later confusion.

What are you looking for?

 * What are you looking for? - Suzuka (Pages 017 - 024)


 * The story starts off with Rantarō wandering the halls to head outside for some fresh air, only to run into Kirumi kneeling closely to the ground, apparently looking for something. She explained to him that she agreed to help Gonta look for his missing bug friend, but her promised time from morning to the afternoon was up so she decided to accompany and offer her services to Rantarō. Rantarō thought it over, and told Kirumi that he's been wondering about the MonoMono Machine, and how it could possibly help lead to re-learning his forgotten talent.


 * The attempts prove useless as nothing of value came out, however, Kirumi admitted she is having fun, and Rantarō agreed. The last present they get from the machine is a bottle of Ketchup, and Rantarō recalled a memory where his maid would write affectionate messages in his food with it. He teased Kirumi and said she'd never do that, since she's more cynical and Kirumi retorted she "can be cute" if she's asked to. Rantarō amused, says there are some interesting parts of her and she doesn't seem like a bad person at all, to which Kirumi replied in kind. Even though no real clues were found to re-learning his talent, they both said they enjoyed it and Kirumi would look for more coins to try again. Afterwards, Kirumi prepared Rantarō a plate of.

Please be my friend

 * Please be my friend - Hanasaki Manio (Pages 025 - 032)


 * Tenko hid behind a corner to watch Himiko talk to Angie, thinking to herself that Himiko is "the girl of her dreams" and became determined to befriend her no matter what. Tenko decided to go about becoming Himiko's friend by following her around during the day, including walking her to the cafeteria and trying to talk to her while Himiko is using the bathroom.


 * Himiko, obviously, became annoyed and Tenko took notice. A concerned Tenko asked Himiko what was wrong and Himiko answers she's been bothered by someone from "dawn til dusk", which Tenko mistakenly assumed is a man only to be corrected that it's her by Himiko. Undeterred, Tenko then asked if she can see Himiko's magic, which surprised Himiko, but she agreed to do so. Himiko seemingly does a magic trick where a pigeon supposedly flies out of her witch's hat, but Tenko is unable to see it. Himiko explained no one with an "impure" heart can see the pigeon, and Tenko wondered out loud if the pigeon somehow knew what she was imagining when thinking of Himiko last night, which is implied to be sexual.


 * A tired Himiko knelt to the ground and complained that her master could do better and make someone with a "guttermind" like Tenko see the magic tricks. Tenko became ecstatic at the mention of a master and told Himiko she also had a master and now is pleased they share something in common. Himiko told Tenko that her master is more impressive than Tenko's is, and a still happy Tenko agreed, evident because Himiko is an impressive witch. Himiko flustered, loudly stated again her master is the best in the world and Tenko agreed once again. Now filled with resolve, a smiling blushing Tenko promised she'll become someone precious to Himiko, like how Himiko's master is to her. Himiko became flustered again and told Tenko to save that for when they become friends. After that, Tenko pointed out it's nearly lunchtime and helped Himiko up by the hand to walk together to the cafeteria.

Clean and Proper School Life!

 * Clean and Proper School Life! - Uchida Temo (Pages 033 - 040)


 * Kaede and Shūichi are taking a walk together when they come across Kokichi and Ki-Bo once again arguing. Kokichi is bullying Ki-Bo by telling him he's not able to do anything human because he's a robot. This is the final straw for Kaede and, now angry, decided to help Ki-Bo, but Shūichi pointed out they really would never be able to stop Kokichi, which made Kaede resolve that she'll instead make Kokichi see Ki-Bo's "human side". The pair discussed how to go about this, and came up with the idea of "traditionally Japanese clothing", thus they go to visit Tsumugi.


 * Tsumugi misunderstood and thought Kaede and Shūichi were interested in the clothing to cosplay, and the former explained that it's for Ki-Bo. Tsumugi is decidedly more bored with that reason, but still loaned them some basic kimonos for Ki-Bo to wear. Ki-Bo proudly presented his new "human side" to Kokichi, and Kokichi is nonplussed at the situation, and pointed out the kimono doesn't work since he's still "wearing" his school uniform (his robotic exoskeleton) under it. Discouraged at the result but not giving up, Ki-Bo decided to ask Miu to remove his outer parts.


 * When the three of them go to her to ask for help, she haughtily refused to do so. Kaede yelled at her, and a now meek and teary Miu explained as a fellow inventor, it would feel disrespectful to change another inventor's creation as they spent time and effort bringing it to life. She also reminded Ki-Bo that he stated before he was proud to be a robot, and proud to be his Professor's creation. Ki-Bo is now reinvigorated in his pride and proclaimed he won't give into Kokichi's "robotphobia" any longer.

Muggy Buggy V3

 * Muggy Buggy V3 - Mochizuki Kazuomi (Pages 041 - 052)


 * Gonta is wandering through the grassy school grounds, worriedly musing to himself about the Killing Game starting, and how he hasn't even been able to find one bug to comfort him. He then spots a shiny object against a tree and became ecstatic.


 * It then cuts to Kirumi serving the other students at a tea party, where she wondered out loud where Gonta had got to. A suddenly fearful Kokichi exclaimed he may have become the first Killing Game victim, only to instantly brush it off as a lie and say that Gonta is just in his dorm room. After some arguing between the group, Korekiyo stated he saw Gonta carrying lots of Robot Oil to his dorm room. After, more exchanges are made between Kokichi (jokingly) accusing Ki-Bo, and Miu of making an innuendo about the oil, Korekiyo suggested Gonta is making a dangerous object, and Tsumugi in a panic, assumed it's a bomb. The group bicker between themselves until Angie informed them her God said if they burst into Gonta's room, all will become clear.


 * The group head toward Gonta's room and after a very brief exchange with the group, Tenko and Miu burst past him and into his room to see Monodam tied to a tree and Monokid drinking the robot oil. Kokichi is relieved Gonta isn't a bomber, but Ki-Bo worriedly exclaimed now Gonta is the prime suspect for the Ringleader of the Killing Game. The group begin to accuse him, but Shūichi isn't wholly convinced. He thought to himself that if Gonta was the Ringleader, why was there only two Monokumarz in the room, with one being tied to tree. He began to realize it looked familiar, and after the group's accusations grew more aggressive, Monokid started to bang his guitar against Monodam, Shūichi suddenly flashed back to his childhood where he would catch cicada bugs and watch rhinosarus beetles.


 * Shūichi leapt to Gonta's defense and claimed Monodam reminded him of a drone beetle, but Gonta denied it. Not deterred, Shūichi explains his reasoning to the confused group: Gonta found Monokid bullying Monodam against the tree, and Gonta was "reminded of a brave drone beetle clinging to a tree and sucking its sap, even while being attacked by a rhinosarus beetle." Shūichi said that because of Gonta's talent, he wanted to observe this up close and that is why he took the tree and two Monokumarz back to his room, also coupled with the fact Monodam being tied to a tree looked like the shiny back of a drone beetle. The group began to understand, and discussed various drone beetle facts while Gonta became more and more distressed. Gonta suddenly yelled that everyone is wrong, and points out the minor differences between Monodam and a drone beetle, then exclaimed that if anything, Monodam resembled a scarab beetle.


 * The story ended with Gonta lecturing the group about the various differences between beetles.

The Witch's Distress

 * The Witch's Distress - Youichi (Pages 053 - 060)
 * Kaede and Shūichi come across a distressed Himiko laying her head on Tenko. Tenko explained she's trying to help her sleep, and Himiko further elaborated she's been having nightmares and isn't able to sleep. Kaede suggested that playing the piano may help, as sometimes music helps people doze off. In Kaede's Laboratory, she began to play a gentle song, which started to work on Himiko, but she suddenly became very engrossed in her playing and it became loud and frantic.


 * Shūichi resolved to use his talent as a detective in order to help. He asked Himiko what the nightmares have been about, and she answered it was Kokichi appearing in her dreams and taunting her about not being a true witch. After that, the group headed to Kokichi to confront him on the issue.


 * Kokichi questioned how he could be blamed for things "he" said in her dream, but followed up by saying Himiko IS useless, only to be interrupted by Tenko punching him across the room with her Neo-Aikido demanding he apologize to Himiko. Kokichi still tried to reiterate himself, only for Tenko to flip him hard and then defend Himiko that she is an incredible witch. Himiko looked touched, but suddenly became troubled before she conjured a cloud of underwear to rain down from the ceiling. Himiko commented she saved up a bunch of mana because of this ordeal, before swaying and falling asleep where she is as Shūichi runs to catch her, only for him to get punched across the room by Tenko.


 * Himiko, is sound asleep being held by Tenko, and Kaede commented how everything worked out in the end.

Free Spirit

 * Free Spirit - △○□× (Pages 069 - 076)
 * Kaede called together a group of the students to discuss being victims of Kokichi's pranks. Ryōma said Kokichi dyed all his prison clothes black, Himiko said he wrote the suit and numbers on the back of her cards so her tricks are "spoilers", and Tenko said he switched the plates on the boy's and girl's restrooms. Kaede concluded with Shūichi they need to stop Kokichi by catching him and the two go on a search.


 * The pair located a trail and Kaede immediately followed it, only to find Rantarō stuck in Gonta's net. Rantarō explained Kokichi tricked Gonta into thinking he was a rare bug, and he fell for it, to which Gonta then apologized. The group then agreed to find Kirumi and ask what Kokichi pranked her with. She explained he flipped all of the not-yet dry clothes inside out and folded them, which she said takes a lot of time to undo.


 * Kaede and Shūichi during their investigation came across a worn-out Ki-Bo, and upon closer inspection see his battery for his power source was switched around. Kaede thought it was Miu, but it turned out Miu was tied up by Kokichi. They then find Tsumugi, who said Kokichi changed all her glasses into sunglasses, Angie, who said she thought the graffiti on her art was done by her God, and Korekiyo who was turned into a "salt charm."


 * Kaede became frustrated as Kaito ran into her and Shūichi, supposedly he also was looking for Kokichi, and he angrily told them Kokichi drew eyes on his eye lids. Shūichi spotted Kokichi hiding behind a corner, and gave chase. Rantarō futilely attempted to stop him, only for Kokichi to be caught by Maki holding him up by the throat. The group confronted a tied up Kokichi about the pranks, which he claimed he was just trying to get the group to work together, however this was a lie. He then escaped and ran off, laughing.

The Monokumarz' Big Failure

 * The Monokumarz' Big Failure - Hayase Reku (Pages 077 - 088)


 * The Monokumarz came together to discuss what they were supposed to do today, which Monodam answered that they're preparing the lawn for a new Research Laboratory to be built. Monotarō then ran up to them, holding a plate of "snacks" for a break. He gets scolded by Monosuke for being so forgetful and points out those aren't "snacks", as Monotarō takes a bite out of one, confused. He explained they were labeled "reward items" so he thought they were snacks. Upon learning that they aren't snacks and instead were meant to be given to the students, Monotarō tossed the reward items, and ended up breaking them, much to Monosuke's dismay.


 * Later, Kaede and Shūichi are taking a walk, only for the Monokumarz to appear before them with something "super special" to give to them. Kaede and Shūichi are very confused as the items are broken and seemingly are just trash. The Monokumarz suddenly leave the pair, and talked among themselves in the bushes about how their plan of having the students fix the items will work, to avoid being punished by Monokuma.


 * Kaede and Shūichi go and find Ki-Bo, and after an offended Ki-Bo misunderstood their intent, he admitted he's not able to fix things as Miu walked by. They asked if she could fix the items and in no time she did. Kaede thanked a flustered Miu as the Monokumarz leapt out to take the items back as their plan had worked. Shūichi, however, questioned the items importance and Miu who doesn't care stated she would just make something new with the items, turning Ki-Bo into "Ki-Bo Kart". Miu launched "Ki-Bo Kart", which caused him to fly forward and crash into a wall, as the Monokumarz witnessed once again the items being destroyed.


 * The Monokumarz became extremely worried at the thought of being punished by their father for destroying the items the students would need to progress to new areas, but Monodam suggested they just make new items. They became relieved, but it's short lived as Monokuma showed up, however he just licked them because they were so cute. Miu, Kaede, and Shūichi looked at a smoking Ki-Bo in a crater on the ground, who responded that he was not okay when Shūichi showed concern. It's said in the end, Monokuma made new reward items.

 * Angie and Himiko announced the magic show they would be performing together would be tomorrow morning, much to the distress of Tenko, who is jealous that her "beloved" Himiko is being "stolen away" by Angie. Tenko resolved to find a way to help Himiko, and followed her and Angie as they prepared for the show. The pair, with Tenko trailing, go to the gym, where Angie presented something under a large tarp and pulled it off. Tenko thought it was something dangerous and rushed forward to protect Himiko, only for the objects under the tarp to be revealed as merchandise for the magic show in the shape of Himiko's head. Himiko actually really liked the merchandise, and Tenko became determined that these things didn't lead Himiko "astray".


 * Tenko the next day gifted Himiko with a large floral print cape. Himiko liked it, but questioned if Tenko had it laying around for her. A flustered Tenko quickly answered she had it and knew about the show, but mumbled she certainly didn't stay up all night making it. However Angie came in and removed the cape and put on garb that Angie said is themed after her island, since her God will be watching. Tenko and Angie began arguing over what Himiko should wear, as Himiko began to space out to escape the bickering. Ki-Bo and Kaito arrived to watch the show and come upon the scene. The show ended up being post-poned because of it.

 * The story started off with Korekiyo walking down the stairs only to slip and be suddenly saved by Gonta using himself to break Korekiyo's fall. After, Korekiyo told the others he wasn't injured all thanks to Gonta's quick save, but their hair did end up tangled together.

Guardian God Potential

 * Guardian God Potential - Leo Horiguchi (Pages 111 - 118)


 * Tenko introduced Shūichi to her Research Laboratory, where she showed off the various equipment in it. Something caught Shūichi's eye, a wooden man, which Tenko introduced as "Mokujin-sama, the giant wooden statue that watches over our humble place." Shūichi became filled with determination at the sight of Mokujin-sama and claimed he wanted to get stronger because of him. Tenko replied even though he was a male degenerate, she would make an exception so he'd still be allowed to practice in her dojo.


 * Later, Kokichi brought Gonta, Ki-Bo, and Miu to see Mokujin-sama, which angered Tenko since they are not willing to train and see Mokujin-sama as some kind of exhibit. Kokichi teased Ki-Bo, while Miu blushed and said she was excited to be able to remodel Mokujin-sama, which Tenko and Gonta rebuffed. Tenko is surprised, but happy Gonta shared her sentiments; however, Gonta's reasoning for not wanting Mokujin-sama to be remodeled is because Mokujin-sama is filled with sap which Gonta proved by ripping off part of the wood with his teeth.


 * Then, Gonta called his bug friends to feed from the sap. The bugs created a giant black swarm, which surrounded Mokujin-sama in a human-shape to carry it off to Gonta's Research Laboratory. A disheartened Tenko moped that the protecting god of her dojo is now gone, and Angie with Tsumugi and Himiko invited her to follow a new god. Afterword, Kaito walked down a path of the school, and saw the giant swarm of insects in a human-shape and glowing eyes, which caused him to scream in fear.

Haunted House Panic

 * Haunted House Panic - Chikichiko (Pages 119 - 132)


 * Maki, Shūichi, and Kaito received a letter detailing that Angie and the Student Council had set up a tea party with desserts and hostages and that the trio must attend. The trio arrived at the location of the tea party, a haunted house attraction. Trying to disguise his fear, Kaito offered to hold Shūichi's hand, to which Maki thought the latter had violently threatened him. They travelled deeper into the attraction, only for Maki to stop them and point out invisible trap wires that would explode if touched, and stated "there must be a deactivation switch in one of the three rooms". Each of the group go to one door: Kaito found darkness, but a looming shadowy figure of Korekiyo appeared behind him, scaring him to run to Shūichi, who had found the switch, and Maki found a doll poised in attack with a knife, which she stabbed in return.


 * This caused Miu and Ki-Bo to come out of hiding, with the former being furious Maki destroyed one of her inventions. Seeing that there were no hostages now, Maki got Kaito and Shūichi to deactivate the trap wires so they can leave. Suddenly a large figure appeared behind them, Gonta in a mask, however he claimed he wouldn't hurt anyone. Kaito, still afraid, rushed past him only to get frightened by Kokichi. Maki, furious she's unable to trust such a cowardly man, became distracted enough to walk into a pitfall trap. Kaito rushed forward, able to save Maki in time and pulled her up. The group then finally found and enjoyed the tea party, humorously leaving Korekiyo still stuck in the dark room.

Relationship Gears

 * Relationship Gears - 9℃ (Pages 133 - 140)


 * Kokichi watched as Miu performed her daily maintenance on Ki-Bo, then Miu aggressively asked Kokichi why he was there, Kokichi mocked Ki-Bo by calling him a useless robot, not being able to perform maintenance on himself, and Miu a pervy whore that worked on Ki-Bo to give her life some meaning. After that, Miu plotted with a hesitant Ki-Bo (as well as dragging in Shūichi) on how to get revenge on Kokichi. Shūichi suggested shocking Kokichi with a lie detector, to which Miu shot his suggestion down by insulting Shūichi.


 * Miu herself suggested attaching tentacles to Ki-Bo, and attacking Kokichi with those only to quickly get rebuffed by Ki-Bo and Shūichi. This devolved quickly into Shūichi and Miu bickering and Ki-Bo attempting to put a stop to it by saying he'd be more than happy with the general maintenance Miu gave him. Miu quickly argued she wanted to do this because Kokichi insulted Ki-Bo, as Shūichi thought to himself how much Ki-Bo and Miu are like siblings.


 * Later, Miu showed off the improvement she gave Ki-Bo which was a boxing glove in his head. Kokichi, of course, teased the both of them over it, and laughed that he'd enjoy seeing what they came up with next time.

As Tsumugi tried to defend herself, Maki turned to leave only for Tsumugi to, at an inhuman speed, put the outfit on Maki. A wild Tsumugi said she had lots of outfits for Maki to try on as Maki begun plotting an easy escape, but she did not want anyone to see her in the maid outfit. Suddenly Kaito walked in, and flustered Maki. Kaito gave Tsumugi what she asked for, a camera, as Maki saw Tsumugi is distracted and made a break for it, yelling she'd leave Kaito as "a sacrifice".
