High School in Japan, Part 2

Rate this Entry
(Thanks for the warm reception, guys; wasn't expecting it. For this I promise you pictures of the not-harem in the near future. If I can find them.)



After English grammar, (in which those around me kept interrupting the class to try to get me to correct the teacher's admittedly broken pronunciation) and chemistry (in which class was briefly halted as my humble worksheet with my moonrune handwriting on it was passed around the class), it was now time for PE, physical education.

I was undecided as to whether I was looking forward to it. On the one hand, I was a couch potato and proud. All the more so since it was frickin' summer in frickin' southern Japan. Hailing from SoCal of the golden Mediterranean clime did not make the transition any easier. (Seriously, some places on the coast never leave the 50s~70s Fahrenheit/10s~20s Celsius range. And even inland at least it's always dry.)

On the other hand, I would briefly get to ditch my winter uniform (long-sleeved shirt, tie, vest, blazer), which I was forced to wear in all its conservative Yamato glory despite the humidity and the blistering heat. It was against the school rules to walk around without the vest and blazer on, even under the cruel conditions of the AC-deprived classroom. Power conservation in view of the recent crisis, you say? Fuck that, I'm 'Murrican and I demand my goddamn air conditioning as is my God-given right, dammit.

Despite being slightly less than 5'7''at around 169 cm, I easily towered over the multitudes of faceless salarymen of Hiroshima, including the School Principal Most High (of the Not-Quite Bald Head). This, incidentally, made for awkward bowing.

Thus the only uniform they had available for me was one whose previous Kiwi owner had stayed for the winter months. I-it's not like I was disappointed because I'd wanted to try on the summer sailor uniform just a little or anything, no.

As is usual for schools in Japan, the girls changed in the classroom. As this was an all-girls school,there were no lowly males to kick out beforehand. And that is where I changed since I, in case you haven't figured out what I was doing in an all-girls school, am also a girl.*

*Or the male lead in a harem animu. Take your pick. There are, after all, no girls on the Internet.

Although everybody was for once minding their own business, as they were busy changing, I had the uncomfortable feeling that the girl next to me was glancing in my direction as I put on the Japanese gym wear (no bloomers, sorry), but I dismissed it as just my being self-conscious again. Not a rare occurrence back then. (Fifteen, how I don't miss it.)

That is, until I had finished changing and the girl said:

「なんだか今すごくいい体が見えた気がする」(I think I just saw a really nice body.)


What.


Not having the daring or indeed the humor to respond 「ま、まだ心の準備が…」(“M-my heart isn't ready...!”) or 「キマシタワー」 (“Incoming yuri!”), I stood there dumbly until the surge of people leaving the classroom provided me with an excuse to hurry on and pretend I didn't hear anything.

So here's my question of the day to you all: why are Japanese schoolgirls so fucking obsessed with breast size?!

    Pfft, this is just too good.

    Bloomers are only a myth right?

    As in, no one really wears them in PE.

    Do you Infinite Stratos Anime? :P

    You're tall at 5'7"? wow. I guess diet of a different country really is different for growth...

    I tend to find many girls are rather obsessive over breast size in any case - but perhaps the young girl does just appreciate your body?
    (And I'd approve of the former answer were you not stunned at the moment )

    Fighto~ as they say XD

    Don't we all do this with something once in our lives?

    Oh, God this is amazing. Your little tsundere moment amused me immensely.

    Do you have some kind of gland or something that attracts all sorts of curious yamato teenage girls. Cause if you do, you can make a fortune selling the secret to us bunch of weeaboos.

    Are you white? Then step one is, visit a Japanese high school. Step two is, there is no step two, you're done.

    Oh my God.

    It makes me so sad realizing I have no chance to have any adventure like that!..

    (Unless I'm sent on a business trip to Japan someday, due to some motherf-ing MIRACLE)

    Keep it updated! ;_;

    Japanese high schools obsess over white people?

    Behold, Japan! Here I come! *packs luggage*

    This is better material than some manga and anime.
    Those poor girls' egos. Hope you tried not to crush them...if you could help it. Maybe.
    Please do continue.

    P.S. Do they only react to pure English like that? Accent-English is a no-no? :v
    (or are they just excited hearing syllables they can't pronounce? :v )

    They do! The trick is getting in, though. You can't just walk through the front door unannounced, you gotta know the right people. Reiu got transferred in, I got trotted out on day trips by my university like some kind of prize hog. There's lots of ways to do it, but you absolutely need a game plan.

    Reiu! Here's a deal!
    How about we make ourselves exchange students for a week? You get to study in this, uh, amazing country, while I go to the...

    all-girls...



    school...


    damn. We'll work it out somehow. Anyway, if week is a no, I can settle for half a week.

    Or a day.

    Or an hour ._.

    Enhance why do you want to be surrounded by teenage Japanese girls? Am I not enough for you?

    This and that are two different things!

    Are you a teenage Japanese girl? ARE YOU?

    That's what I thought.

    I think you underestimate Spin's ability to... "accommodate".

    .....I don't know whether to facepalm at the descendants of my ancestors or laugh until I passed out.

    I think I shall do both.

    This.

    Also, Enhance, what could you possibly do with a Japanese schoolgirl that you couldn't do with Spincess?

    Goddamn I am jelly, kind of. I wish I were a tall, handsome, white man (even though you're a girl) in Japan.

    The closest I can get is a tall, average looking, AmeriChinaman in Taiwan which are a dime a dozen (except the ameri part)
