Tennis Heartthrob Drops into Chibi Maruko’s Class

Four tennis heartthrobs, Tezuka Kunimitsu, Yukimura Seiichi, Atobe Keigo, and Echizen Ryoma, suddenly transferred schools and landed in Maruko’s class.

The girls at school screamed and went wild. Only Maruko looked troubled.

“They didn’t turn in their homework again.”

Before long, the whole school was whispering that the four heartthrobs were pursuing Maruko!

Clutching her fried shrimp, Maruko thought, What do they see in me? That I’m poor? That I can never finish my homework?

Later, the four finally laid their cards on the table and stared at her nervously. “Who are you going to choose?”

Maruko thought seriously for a moment. “I choose all four of you.”

The four froze.

Maruko said, “Why do I have to choose just one? Can’t we all stay together forever?”

The four looked at one another.

Tezuka adjusted his glasses. “...I agree.”

Yukimura smiled and nodded. “As long as Maruko is happy.”

Atobe snapped his fingers. “I don’t mind.”

Echizen turned away, his ears red. “...Whatever.”

Maruko clapped her hands. “Then it’s settled!”

The four said, “Okay.”

And from then on, the five of them lived happily together.
