Chapter 1: Girl's Garden

UNBALANCED SCHOOL LIFE

GIRL'S GARDEN

CHAPTER 1 OF THE MANGA

The sign in the front yard of the main building of the school campus reads--- KAMINOMIYA PRIVATE ACADEMY. A car turns onto the short driveway and goes past the entrance in the brick wall surrounding the campus. It parks, as two individuals in the front seat survey the main building and beyond. The young male in the passenger's seat comments that he thought that this was an all-boys school. Looking out the side window, he observes. Aren't there a surprising amount of girls here ? Or is it just me ? The short, diminutive woman in the driver's seat, named Haruna, replies, " I dunno ........just enjoy the view"! The young man gets out of the car and begins walking to the all-boy's dormitory. One month late to school, he berates himself.

Inside the all-boy's dormitory, he finds the room that he was assigned to earlier, while he was in the hospital. Here it is....Room 126. His name is on the door plaque, "Shinya Sanada". Next to his name is the name of his roommate, "Midori Oomori", who happens to be his childhood friend. They both grew up together, and did everything together. Shinya opens the door to the room, and sees a very unusual and erotic sight. A very pretty teenage girl is undressing in the room, and is down to wearing only her white and pale blue striped bra and panties set. What gives ? She greets him with a cheerful, "Welcome back, Shinya!" Shinya doesn't say a thing, however, dozens of thoughts are ripping through his mind---A GIRL ? She's cute, but she's half naked. Hmmmm! A girl in the middle of changing her clothes, in the middle of my room. She apparently knows me, and she said, "Welcome back!".....So she was waiting for me ? And considering the situation, why is she just standing there, smiling at me ? Shinya grabs the top rail of the bunk beds, like he is going to pound his head on the railing. The girl only says, "Hello!".

The girl continues, "Don't tell me you don't recognize me ! It's me ! Midori ! M-I-D-O-R-I !" She points to herself. Shinya also points to her, screaming--- "MIDORI? Why do you look like that ? Is this a prank ? Am I getting punk'd ? You set up this joke to celebrate me getting out of the hospital ? " Shinya comes up to her and touches Midori's boobs. "IT'S THE REAL DEAL !!!" Don't, implores Midori. *"Who the rap are you ?"*, yells Shinya. Comes the reply, "Your childhood friend, Midori, like I have been saying all along !" Shinya counters, "The Midori I know IS A BOY !!!" Well, the 'boy' turned into a girl. It is as simple or as complicated as that. Midori exhales. So she went all the way to the hospital to pick you up, and she didn't tell you anything ? What a jerk ! "Because seeing is believing !", says the dimiutive woman at the open door to the room.

The dimiutive woman is the one who drove Shinya from the hospital to the academy. Her name is Ousaka-sensei, or more informally, Haru-chan. She is the dorm mother for all of the housing on campus. Haru-chan explains to Shinya that Midori might have turned into an anatomically correct girl, but she is still the same Midori on the inside. There should be no problems with her being a roommate. Shinya is dumbfounded, as he tells himself that if this goes on, he will lose his mind. But he needs his mind to handle this situation properly. Midori states dryly that if he is so against it, she can move out and stay elsewhere with another girl. Shinya resets his fragile mind with a new line of thought---

"Midori is probably feeling uneasy for being changed into a girl. That is why she is happy to see me, her close friend and best buddy. I can't do anything now to upset her. Midori is shouldering a heavy burden right now. I have to be here to support her, and help her with her problems !"

Shinya matter-of-factly tells Midori that it's fine. Let's be roommates together. Just then, a tall, stately young woman enters the dorm room, wearing a sailor suit. She tells Midori that she needs to get ready for track and field pratice. The pratice is today ! Shinya gets another shock. He recognizes the young woman. She used to be the male superintendent of the school. A few more girls walk by the open door to the dorm room, and take a peek inside. The consensis of the girls is that this unknown male is really Shinya after all ! The consensis that Shinya comes to is that this school is really full of girls now !

"I would like to inquire about the so-called "Spaceship Incident" !"

So demands Shinya. It is the afternoon, and Shinya, together with Ousaka-sensei, are in the boardroom of the Board of Directors of the Academy, and talking to the Chairman of the Board. The Chairman welcomes Shinya to the Kaminomiya Academy, and congradulates him on his recovery from his illness, and his acceptance into this school. He goes on to say that our Academy *was* an all-boys school last year. But this year we turned into a co-ed school starting at the beginning of this school year, about a month ago. And....there was an.....incident.....while you were recovering in the hospital. "Yeah, all the students besides me, everyone, has changed into a girl !", belts out Shinya. The Chairman continues, saying that we didn't think that we would change into an all-girls school so soon. "And the reason for that is....???", counters Shinya? The Chairman shows a blank look on his face, as he dryly and dubiously states it was the "Spaceship Incident". Shinya asks the Chairman *if he is serious ?* The Chairman sidesteps the comment by remarking that he is happy with all the girls around now. However, continues the Chairman, there is a concern about how to treat you. As you know, we have all the students live in the campus dormitories, and it doesn't seem right to have you cohabitate with the girls. You see the problem.....don't you ?

Ousaka-sensei speaks up for Shinya. She states that Sanada-kun and Oomori-kun have always been together since childhood. Even though one of them has changed their physical sexual appearence, nothing will happen between these two friends. There is a special kind of bond between them, as only hard and fast longtime friends have. Everything will be okay. The Chairman mentions he needs to be getting back on topic; the Academy will be letting Shinya pick his own options and deal with problems however one sees fit. If there is a need, please don't hesitate to come to the administration to consult with us anytime. In any case, one better get used to this soon, like right now. The Chairman then dismisses the two, without explaining anything about the original question.

Shinya and Ousaka-sensei stroll through the hallways and slowly work their way outside. There, they sit on a park bench. Outside, one can observe all the outdoor activities that are going on this afternoon. Yup, girls as far as the eye can see. One girl walks by, as the wind catches her pleated mini-skirt, opening it up like an umbrella, and showing off her white girl's panties. Ousaka-sensei comments, "Like the Chairman said, 'You better get used to this, real soon !'" Shinya tells Ousaka-sensei that he is glad to have her as a friend and confidante. Just then, sneaking up from behind, Midori grabs Shinya around the neck, telling him that she is glad to have him around as a friend and confidante, too! She exclaims to Shinya that we all got used to this, he will get used to it, too ! Midori is hugging Shinya so tight around the neck that he now looks like he is half dead ! "Hands off !", chokes out Shinya.

     Next to burst upon the scene is a little girl, looking to be about 6 or 7 years old. She has long, pure white hair, grayish-white eye color, very pale, almost bleach-white skin, and is wearing a white little girl's style dress with white slip-on shoes. She hugs Ousaka-sensei also around the neck, begging to be given pudding. However, the little girl turns to see Shinya, and gives him a look of half fear and half curiousity. Shinya shoots back a look of imposition and annoyance. Ousaka-sensei sees the uneasy interchange occuring between Shinya and the little girl, therefore, takes the little girl by the hand and leads her away. Shinya, wanting to inquire, asks Midori who the little girl was ? "The Alien, The Foreigner!", replies Midori with a blank, noncommittal look on her face. A pregnant silence ensues, until Shinya only says, "Oh!" Nothing more is then asked or said.

Back inside the school building, at the lockers, Shinya drills Midori as to why she interfeared with the private conversation that he was having with Haru-chan ? He is one month late, and only trying to get caught up ! Annoyed, he wonders out loud; What gives ? Midori takes his comment rather obtusely, questioning why he would say that and act that way ? She counters, saying that turning into a girl set her back, like, 'a thousand years' ! Plus she is not able to look masculine anymore like he does, and instead she has to get used to looking cute and feminine. Yet she got used to it real quick. Midori pretends to cry, attracting the attention of a gaggle of other girls walking by. Shame, SHAME !!! Making a girl cry ! But Midori reveals that she was not really crying; a girl's pretense and prerogative that she has already learned ! Midori grins in revenge at Shinya, as the girls roundly condemn him for his uncouth behavior. Just then, the Superintendent comes by and tells the girls to go take their baths, to get ready for dinner.

The girls head on out for the spacious bathhouse and sauna. Shinya casually begins to follow them, until the Superintendent tells him that he is not going to take a bath with all the girls, is he ? Shinya slyly grins; "Why not?" Well, we will see about that ! Later that evening, Shinya is in the big sauna pool, all by himself. He recalls that the Superintendent ordered that he take his baths only from 8PM to 9PM, none other times, as the girls will know not to come into the sauna at all. So all alone, in the hot water, he comments to himself that all of this is certainly unbelieveable. No doubt ! He then dozes off. Later, coming around to consciousness, only to now be feeling a bit dizzy. Wow ! It's been a long day ! Need sleep ! Like, ASAP !
