"Tenma the Fairest"
Chapter 1: The Girl with Fair Beauty


One day, a boy with pale skin and a bowl cut, walked by the woods in his Kappa Suit. As he treaded on into the forest, he found a casket with a glass lid on top. He walked there and viewed a girl in her school uniform. She had long black hair and small pigtails and was inside the casket motionless.

"Who is this beautiful girl?" the boy thought.

Just then, a guy in dark skin and glasses jumped in and rushed towards the casket.

"What do you think you're doing?" He shouted.

The boy stepped back and said, "I'm sorry. I found her like this."

"I see. I am sure you wanted to know about Tenma," The guy replied.

"Tenma?"

"Yes. I am Kenji Harima. I used to be with her on an old business that we ran downtown."

"So, why is Tenma in that coffin?" The boy remarked.

"Well… she's dead… or, maybe she's out cold. She's been like that for a year now… and it's all that evil girl's fault!"

"Evil? I'm sorry, but who would have the right mind to kill her?"

"Well, it's kind of a long story. I should tell you about it right now."

Harima then told the boy, who told him that his name is Oji Karasuma, about how Tenma came here.


Two years ago, the girl named Tenma Tsukamoto was a high school student, enrolled in Yagami High School. She comes to her school with a bright smile on her face, every single day. Every day, each boy looked at Tenma, who always smile a lot in the morning, and always feel so energetic. Every single boy admired her and wanted to go out with her, but every time they asked, Tenma never gave her consent.

Girls also admired her every day, since the entire student body loved her so much. However, not all the student body admired her. As a matter of fact, one of the girls, with long blonde hair, watched on in jealously.

"That stupid dumb girl. She thinks she can be Queen of the student body?"

The girl's name is Eri Sawachika. She's in the same class as Tenma, and has a higher beauty scale than her. Despite what she said, it's also true. Tenma has very high beauty and charisma, but very low grades, but she tried so hard to study and advance to the next year.

Every time she sees Tenma with a smile on her face, she grew crossed. She even glared at her, behind her back, even though she's roughly nice to her on certain occasions.


But the real reason is that Eri, in actually, has the characteristics of a witch. Every time she goes home, she consults her magical vanity mirror, in her bedroom, to ask if she's the fairest of them all. By fairest, she means that she's Yagami High's popular girl.

"Magical Mirror on my wall, who's the fairest of them all…"

The mirror revealed that she's the fairest of them all. Eri smiled and laughed that she's better than Tenma. But her reign as fairest lasted only two weeks, when on that day, she was about to be outclassed.

"Magical Mirror on my wall, show me as of late who is the fairest of them all…"

The mirror answered, in a deep bellow, "Tis true the school has you so cute; but there is not only you that cannot dispute; this girl with cuteness and the blackest hair; only she is declared 'Fair'!"

The mirror revealed to show Tenma on the mirror, prompting Eri to growl.

"Why, that little brat!" Eri shouted.

She stormed off and tried to dress herself in clothes, flashier than Tenma. But tried as she must, she was proven that she must not be into competition over Tenma.

"That Tenma may think she's so cool, but she'll have the last laugh when I slander her in public." She sneered.


The next day, Eri posted a flier about Tenma's idiot genes. The boys were all shocked by it and started to grow worried about Tenma. The boys started to ignore Tenma for a while and gave her the cold shoulder, while the girls just looked away from her, acting like she doesn't exist.

"I wonder what's going on." Tenma said.

As Eri watched on in happiness, mixed with success in an evil manner, a girl who had dark blue hair and an ample bust approached a downtrodden Tenma.

"Hey, do you have a minute?" She said, "I was wondering if you can explain to me why you were so popular, and why you're also an idiot."

"What? How do you know?" Tenma asked.

"I found this flier about you," the girl said, as she showed the flier to her.

Tenma started to grow shocked that she ripped up the flier and started to cry.

"Yes, you little baby," Eri said quietly, "Cry your heart out and feel bad for being shunned."

But then, the girl said something about Tenma, "I think you're still a good person, no matter what grades you make!"

"I… *sniff* I am?"

"She's is?!"

"Listen, I'll tell the Class Rep about this situation, and tell him that this is all a big misunderstanding."

"But you don't understand! I may have bad grades, but I just tried my best!"

"Well, then… how about I tutor you for the upcoming finals?"

"Gee, thanks!"

As Tenma smiled, Eri grew pissed.

"What the hell was she thinking? Does she know about me?" She snarled.

Tenma and the girl walked out the classroom and chatted. All Eri could do was pound the desk, violently.

"Tenma Tsukamoto, I swear… You will never be fairest of all of Yagami High!"


Later at Lunch, Tenma and her friend were out on the roof.

"So, Mikoto, right? How come you are so popular as well?" Tenma said to Mikoto, who was the girl who saved her.

"Well, it's kind of a gift I have," Mikoto replied, "When I came to High School, my body started to become all different. You see…"

"You can tell me," Tenma said, "Whatever it is you got, we can stride it down together."

"Well," Mikoto blushed, "But only if you keep it quiet from the other boys."

Then she whispered into Tenma's ear about why she's so popular – her own chest.

"NO!" Tenma cried, "You're popular because of your breasts?"

Mikoto turned beet red and ranted, "That's not only a gift, but a curse. Every boy wants me, because I have a big chest. Not to mention that about half of the boys are all perverts, including that Imadori!"

"Why is that?"

"Because he always admires-! No! Scratch that! Stalks me because of these!"

"I feel awful for you," Tenma stated, "But have C-cup breasts doesn't make you a bad person, it just makes you different. And if that Imadori hounds at you again, give him a knuckle sandwich for me!"

"Thank you, but he only prefers D-cup girls."

"Then why on Earth did he stalk you, a C-cup girl?"

"That's because…"

Mikoto whispered to Tenma of her bra size: D.

"Ha-WHAAAAAAT?"

Mikoto started to turn red again, but then was happy about what Tenma said, earlier.

"Listen, I know you and I have different things within us, but it's in our genetics. You have big breasts and I am as dumb as a rock."

"That's true, but there are some people who simply act perfect, they have flaws. And I am one of them."

"That's not true."

Just then the bell rang. Tenma and Mikoto went downstairs, heading back to class.


Later that night at Eri's house, she dressed up in her nightgown and viewed her magic mirror. She let out an evil smirk and said, "Well, despite that bimbo ruining my plan, it still got Tenma the biggest egg in her face."

She viewed her mirror and chanted:

"Magical Mirror I stood by, who's the fairest of Yagami High…"

The mirror then said, "Truly you have pulled many lengths to fool that Tenma to fall; but only she remains fairest of all."

"Well, look again! She has that foolish girl promising that it is all a misunderstanding. But it is all true, of course. I did all that."

"This girl may have known about Tenma's mistakes; but it is honesty and friendship the girl makes."

Eri turned away from the mirror and cried, "Honesty and friendship?! I HATE THAT TENMA!"

She went to bed with a scowl on her face. She then had a devious idea, turning her scowl into a smile.

"Tomorrow, I'll see to it she'll never be seen in school again!" She chuckled.

And with that, she fell asleep knowing what tomorrow will hold.
