Next genderbend appearance!

"I'm gonna head to the library." The raven boy reported as he was picking up his lunch box.

"Alright, I'll see you after lunch."

Mano and Karmen each said their goodbye and said to meet up later.

Mano favorite genre is sci-fi due to liking the advance terms they use in their vocabulary for anything related to science.

He have read most of the sci-fi books the library can offer and his favorite series is currently on a hiatus.

"Any new ones...any new ones..." He repeatedly mutter to himself as he look for a new series he can get hook on as he's waits for his current favorite one to have a new book.

Skimming his finger through the selection to come across a manga version of one of the stories he had already read.

Maxium Ride. By James Patterson, Art by Narae Lee.

It was the first volume.

'I didn't know there was manga version of this.'

Taking the book off the shelf into his hand to skim through the pages.

The artstyle is impressive and the character design was on spot! Details in each panel and a lot of screentones were used. Mano was familiar with the scene drawn compare to his imaginations when he read the words describing the scenes.

Satisfied with his first impression on the manga, he smiled and kept the book.

"WAAAAAAIIITTTTT!"

Came running was a boy with light brown with tint of magenta hair in a short bob and eye color of pale pink. Wearing only a white shirt with black tie, and some black pants with brown loafers.

His expression was intimidating as the running boy was closing in on the ravenette.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!?" He turn to the caller.

First instinct for Mano was to protect the book. Holding it close to his chest and curl his body a little, prepare for the impact.

Soon one boy got tackled to the floor, face front onto the floor.

Luckily his glasses weren't broken but was position wrong. One stands was hanging his ear swinging back and forth as the owner turn around quickly.

"WHA—" A pair of hands slam against his mouth and his head slam black to the floor.

"SHUSH! WE'RE IN A LIBRARY!" The tackler shouted.

"TELL THAT TO YOUR VOICE!" Matching the volume of his voice to the coconut head.

"GET. OFF. OF. ME."

"Man... I missed lunch." The light brunette mutter.

"And~ all~ I wanted was to make a quickie and pick up a book and then head over to the cafeteria to get some food~!" Whining out his plans out loud to purposely annoy the ravenette.

"I wonder who's fault was it?" He mutter in a sarcastic monotone voice.

The librarian quickly found the two and was pissed beyond.

After giving the boys a lecture, she demand that they give up their whole lunchtime and help organize the books that have been returned. Which there was quite a lot that involves moving two full booked carts with many genres that neither were familiar with.

They just begun and never spoke a word to each other after the lecture but one was purposely complain about one another.

And during their time they would pick a topic for each other...

Which was the whole time, arguing about which book belong to which shelf. Along with which genre was better, one genre verses another, and which author writes the best stories.

After the long work.

They sat down on the floor and their backs against the bookshelves with a ten feet distance between them.

Still haven't exchange a word with each other.

Mano who still had the Maxium Ride manga in his possession was beginning to read.

"What part are you at?" The coconut hair boy ask.

"H-huh? Oh, the part where Max and Angel are reunited in captivity."

"Ahhh, that part was bittersweet."

"I guess it is..."

Another silence have surface the room.

A stomach began growling.

One of the boy was blushing of loud it was. Considering the library being the quiet place in school.

'I can't believe we're done before lunch is over...but all the food is probably gone..."

But then the sound of a lunch box popping open was heard a few feet away.

It was Mano's lunch box.

'FOOD!'

Having eyes staring at you like a desperate hungry wolf, it gave the glasses wearing boy chills.

'I can't believe I almost forgot I brought my lunch with me.' Mano thought and try to ignore the creepy stare.

Quietly thanking for the food. He grabbed ahold of his chopsticks and began picking up some rice.

He ate very little as he knows eyes were still on him.

Mano sighed and did what he thought was right.

Slowly getting up, Mano got up from his spot on the floor and walk over to the coconut-haired boy.

"You look like you need this more than I do." His voice sounding a little force. He bend down a little and held out his open lunch box.

Without hesitation the hungry boy took the lunch box out of Mano's hand. And instantly stuffing the food content into his mouth as much as he could before lunchtime was over.

"Whew~ that was some really good food!"

"I-I'm glad y-you like it..." Amaze of how little of time his lunch box was cleaned.

"Well I'm Yuzuru Fuwa. And since you gave me your food, we're now friends!" The coconut stated his name with a huge smile on his face.

"R-r-really...?" Mano asked for clarification. 'If food was the key to making friends. Why didn't I do that in the first place...?' But even if he did that, it means approaching unfamiliar people, introductions, and ongoing conversation he wouldn't be able to keep up anyway.

"I'm Mano Okuda."

"Uh-huh!" Yuzuru replies happily.

They both left the library together. And they actually had a positive conversation about books.

But it stopped suddenly when the two boys heard a buzzer going off from the library doors.

"I forgot we have a book neither of us checked it out!"

Mano turn to his new friend for any idea to make the trouble lessen.

But the bespectacled boy only find himself looking at a wall.

Searching wildly to find the pink-eyed boy running and about to turn to a corner.

"YOU CAN HAVE IT! I ALREADY READ IT PLENTY OF TIMES~~!" He shouted fast in his sentence as it was getting quieter when he was long gone around the corner.

'SOME FRIEND YOU ARE FOR DITCHING! ALSO, WHY DID YOU WANT IT SO BADLY WHEN YOU ALREADY RE—'

His thoughts were interrupted when he felt a cold hand on his shoulder from behind.

His whole body tense and he wanted to refuse to look back for he knows who it was. But he have no choice but disobey his mind. Turning around to find the librarian glaring and her anger expression very obvious. And her action were also an obvious proof as she tighten her grip on his shoulder and smile in an irritating way.

'FUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!'

Mano was happy to befriend another person but deciding if he regret it or not. And the lecture he received became shouting for half an hour.

But it ended it all well since Mano was only let out with a warning and was able to check out the Maxium Ride manga.

I honestly had no idea Yuzuru could be a boy's name til I googled it. The results was a Japanese figure skater who took part in the Olympic in 2014.

So I hope you guys like another Genderbend character introduction. And sorry for the long chapter to find out Fuwa's first name near the end.
