U-Daichi Shinagawa wayengumYankee kuphela (ibinzana lesiJapane elisho umhlukumezi) owayengafuni lutho mayelana nendlela yakhe yokuphila yasesikoleni esiphakeme. Ummeleli wekilasi ozinikele, u-Hana Adachi, umkhathaza ngokubandakanyeka nempilo yesikole futhi akakuvumeli njalo. U-Shinagawa usekutheni kungani ehlala emhlupha edidekile aze athole imfihlo yakhe. Nakuba engase abonakale engumuntu omele izifundo ezivamile, u-Adachi akanawo umqondo omuhle futhi akakhanyi kangako, futhi uShinagawa ekugcineni uthola ukuthi u-Adachi wayeyimbuka. Ngokuphenduka ekubeni yi-yankee phakathi neminyaka yakhe yasesikoleni esiphakathi, u-Adachi unquma ukushintsha izindlela zakhe ukuze abone umbono wakhe wokuba ummeleli wekilasi eliphezulu. KHONA ngeke aqhubeke nokwenza iphutha elifanayo ncamashi nalona alenzile, unquma ukusiza uShinagawa. Kuqala kanjalo abalingane babo besikole e-Mon Shiro High School kanye nolwazi lwalabo abangani ababili abangalindelekile.
Daichi Shinagawa
Umlingiswa wendoda wendaba. Ophinde abizwe ngokuthi “u-Yankee kun,” u-Shinagawa uyisigelekeqe esifushane esingeke sifune ukuphazanyiswa futhi asinazo izinhlelo zendlela yakhe yokuphila yasesikoleni esiphakeme. Kuze kube yilapho esenelisa owayeyisihlubuki esimqinisekisa ukuthi aguqule indlela yakhe ukuze aphenduke njengoba enza, u-Adachi. Kusukela ezintweni ezincane njengokungabhemi nokugwema inkambo kuze kube ngisho nokuba yisekela likamongameli womkhandlu wabafundi usanda kuhlukunyezwa u-Adachi ukuze asebenze kakhulu ekolishi, kodwa kancane kancane uyashintsha ngochungechunge: ekuqaleni. Uyakwenyanya ukufunda kodwa akakubi neze kwizibalo. Ungumuntu othembekile futhi ozozama konke ukuvikela abanye, athole ilungu elibalulekile eqenjini lakhe elisha labangane.
Ngenkathi ubaba wakhe, ositayela sakhe sifana nesakhe, engudokotela owaziwayo, umama wakhe ungummeli. Ngemva kochungechunge, kuboniswa ukuthi wayephakathi kwabafundi abahamba phambili esikoleni esiphakathi esizimele esasithembekile. Ngemuva kokulwa namahlongandlebe abelokhu ephazamisa imbangi yakhe yokuqala ezifundweni, uShizuku Hachioji owaxoshwa kulesi sikhungo. Amaphuzu akhe ayesevele eqalile ukwehla, wagcina elahlekelwe ilukuluku ezifundweni ngokuphelele futhi kamuva waba umfundi onamaphuzu aphansi nakuba enza isithembiso noShizuku ukuthi uzosigcwalisa futhi ekolishi. Lesi senzakalo siwuphawu lokuthola kwakhe isihluku nokubukeka kwakhe okushintshile (ngaphambili wayenezinwele ezimnyama futhi egqoke izibuko).
Ekuqaleni unokuxhumana kwe-Love Hate no-Hana Adachi, emjabulela ngenxa yesimo sakhe sokusiza abanye kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yini, kodwa emshayela, futhi ecasulwa nguye ngenxa yobuwula bakhe, ukulangazelela ukusiza ngamahlaya nezinhlelo zakhe eziyingqayizivele. Esahlukweni sebhonasi, kwembulwa ukuthi uShinagawa wakhetha ukulinda uMon Shiro ngemva nje kokubona intombazane ekhangayo, eyayikade ingu-Adachi ngempela ngaphandle kwezibuko zamehlo futhi enezinwele zamahhala (into ethile ayengayiqondi kuze kube kamuva), ekuhlolweni kwakhe kokungena. Nakuba ehlala exabana no-Adachi, wayezokwenza into enjalo ukuze angalimazi noma aphazamise. U-Adachi uhlala engayazi imizwelo yaseShinagawa, nakuba eba nomona lapho owayefunda naye esikoleni esiphakathi etshela imigomo yakhe yokumcela ukuba aye eShinagawa futhi kamuva evuma ukuthi uyamjabulela.
Umukelwa ekolishi elihlonishwayo futhi eminyakeni emine ngemuva kokuphothula esikoleni esiphakeme, ufakazelwe ukuthi ufundisa eMon Shiro.
