Broadcast #4: It's a Romantic Affair

It's that time listeners, when boys work up the courage to finally ask that special someone out. When girls travel in large groups to the department store to purchase multiple spools of ribbon and multi-colored sharpies to mark the names of their crushes on the sleek fabric of their ribbon.

Welcome to Fuuka Academy, live from the broadcasting headquarters.

Today we begin with updates on this weeks events.

Monday is the Anime Club's open cosplay contest, held in the gymnasium. The event begins at 3:40 pm and is set to end at 5:30pm. There will be tons of food, nerds, and potential romantic interests.

Tuesday is the chance to claim a spot in the Crystal Shrine. So all you lovestruck fools out there can tie ribbons without repercussions.

Wednesday is the opening premiere of 'AssKick 2'. Critics write that it was a "less than satisfactory sequel to the first movie." It has recieved a review of 6/10.

Thursday is the chance to ask out that special person you've been pining after.

Friday is the Romance Festival held on Fuuka Grounds. There will be lots of games and fun, couples activities to partake in. Let it be known that formal kimono wear is strongly suggested.

And now, the news.

Listeners have reported that they saw Reito Kanzaki approach Tokiha Mai in the halls near the Student Council room in the after hours of school. They mentioned that Kanzaki-senpai was looking radiant as usual, with his chiseled face of beauty and his perfect hair and his dazzling smile. They also reported that Mai almost fainted upon speaking to him.

The Head of the Executive Committee is on a warpath regarding the preparations for the festival. She despises the idea of an open night to tie ribbons in the Shrine. She issued a claim that reads:

'Ridiculous! I can't believe that this school has gone so far as to allay such behavior. Tying ribbons with the names of your crashes to a reeling.'

I have a daunting feeling that Suzushiro-san will be unrelenting in removing ribbons almost as fast as you put them up, listeners. So make sure to bring many ribbons bearing the name of your crush.

Shiho Munakata was seen approaching Tate Yuuichi the other day, presenting him with a gift of homemade Mochi and a small octopus plush doll. Sounds like things are getting real, here, listeners.

In other news, Shizuru Fujino was once again seen talking to Natsuki Kuga. They seemed to be engaged in a very deep and riveting conversation, I presume. Seriously, those two just need to get past their awkward teen love and go out already.

Hold on, listeners, I have just recieved a text from Kuga Natsuki herself.

"Harada, I seriously will kill you if you keep spouting your speculations over the air. I don't know where you are, but know this, I will find you eventually."

Let a student have her fun for a while, Kuga-san. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing...anyway...

Sakomizu-sensei was seen reprimanding Natsuki Kuga for arriving to school late today. Nothing out of the ordinary there. Random passers-by report that Kuga's warning went something like this:

"If you don't start arriving to school on time, without speeding, then you'll have to repeat the year." The conversation ended with the Ice Princess stomping away angrily and little else was said on the matter.

Rumors have been circulating, listeners, that Yuuichi Tate may or may not have a crush on our busty resident redhead, Tokiha Mai. These are, of course, mere speculations made by the student body, and nothing has been confirmed.

I have just recieved a letter from an anonymous sender, listeners. The penmanship is neat and probably belonging to a girl, or an effeminate boy. Either way, the letter reads:

'Chie, I need you to do me a favor on the night of the festival. Mai accepted Reito's invitation to go together to the festival. But, as you know, Mikoto is always with Mai, and I fear that will interfere with their date. I need you and Aoi to take care of the wildcat the night of the festival.'

Well, listeners, that's pretty intense. Mai accepted Reito-san's invitation and this anonymous sender called it a date. It's official! Although, sender anonymous, you could've been a little less forward in your request, but I suppose I'll help out and take care of the wildcat.

We'll return later this evening, listeners, after a lengthy intermision.

Hopeless Romantic Corporation brings you tips on how to ask the girl, or guy, of your dreams out.

Tip #1: Be charming. A smile or flowers might do it.

Tip #2: Ask them out in a creative way. Being artsy often times helps.

Tip #3: Breath mints. No one likes bad breath. Nobody.

Tip #4: Look up Wikihow pages prior to asking them out. Maybe.

Tip #5: Respect them. Remember, no means no.

And we are back, listeners! It is currently 4:45 pm and the festival is in the early stages. Listeners have reported that they have seen the most unlikely couples around campus. Still no sight of Akane or Kazuya, and I am really beginning to worry.

Sources have yet to see Tokiha Mai and Reito Kanzaki around campus, although there have been sightings of a less than excited Yuuichi Tate being held captive, I mean willingly held back from free choice, by Shiho Munakata.

Wait, listeners. I have just recieved news that Reito Kanzaki and Tokiha Mai have just been spotted near the food stands. They have Mikoto with them and I must go relieve them from their babysitting of the younger girl.

So, for now, listeners, adieu. I will probably return later in the eveningwith more reportings on the events of the evening.
