Pengin Haiwei Print

[opening narration] Aoyama: I’m very smart, and I study very hard. I’m sure I’ll be someone great in the future. I’m still in the fourth grade, but I already know as much as some adults. Everyday, I learn about the world, I become a better person. I ran a calculation today… I figured out that it’ll be another 3,888 days until I become an adult. I can’t imgaine just how amazing I’ll be when that day comes. I might be too amazing for my own good. I’m sure that lots of girls will want to marry me. But there’s already someone I have in mind. So the others will just have to live with it. I feel bad for everyone else, but this has already been decided. Aoyama: Why is her face the shape it is? Why is it that looking at her face fills me with joy? Why is it that the face that brings me joy was molded perfectly by genetics and exists here, now? It was my first time experiencing this strange feeling, so I found it difficult to describe in words. Aoyama: The things known as boobs are a mystery to me. Aoyama: It's finished. Uchida: It looks kind of like a penguin. Aoyama: Huh? It was supposed to be a research vessel. Aoyama: If you ever feel angry, you should try thinking about boobs. from ‘Pengin Haiwei’ (ペンギン・ハイウェイ - Penguin Highway) Starring Aoi Yū (The Case of Hana and Alice) and Kita Kana (Black Maiden: Chapter Q).
