Chapter 3

歪な三角 (Ibitsu na sankaku, lit: Distorted Triangle) is the third chapter of the Tensei Pandemic manga series.
==Plot==
A girl recognizes Hinata on his way home. She turns out to be Minami Yurina, Hinata's seatmate and first love in elementary school, whom he hasn't seen since she moved to another prefecture in 5th grade. Yurina playfully teases Hinata for being cuter than a girl, leaving him feeling embarrassed. Before Hinata can inquire further about why she's here, Yurina is hastily summoned away by a boy, leaving Hinata frozen, suspecting she may be visiting her boyfriend.
The following day brings unexpected changes to Hinata's class. The teacher announces the sudden school transfer of class president Sawashiro Aki, quickly followed by the introduction of a new transfer student, who turns out to be non other than Yurina. She waves at Hinata as she enters, causing a stir among the boys, mistakenly thinking the gesture was meant for them. The surprise continues with another "transfer student," a gender-swapped Sawashiro Aki, walking in and introducing himself as a boy named Sawashiro Akira. He winks at Hinata, eliciting excitement from the girls this time. The teacher goes on to explain that Akira is Aki's cousin and will be replacing her in the class.
Reunited, Yurina and Hinata both express surprise that they have become classmates again. At Hinata's inquiry, she explains that she meant to surprise him, asking if he is mad, to which Hinata expresses that he feels the exact opposite. Hinata silently acknowledges Yurina's unchanged cuteness, but is hung up on the notion that she might have a boyfriend. Akira suddenly wraps an arm around Hinata's head from behind, interrogating him about this childhood friend. Hinata asks him how he pulled off the school transfer stunt, to which Akira nonchalantly explains that it was the result of a few letters written in the name of his grandfather, who runs the school.
Akira whispers to Hinata, declaring his plan to enjoy his life as a high school boy, and making Hinata promise to keep his secret, threatening mutual disclosure. Surprised and visibly awkward at Akira's closeness with Hinata, Yurina greets Akira with a warm smile, only to earn a rather cold response, bringing the chapter to a close in an ominous air.
