UDaichi Shinagawa wayenguYankee kuphela (ibinzana lesiJapan lokunganyaniseki) owayengafuni nto malunga nendlela yakhe yokuphila kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo. Ummeli weklasi ozinikeleyo, u-Hana Adachi, uyamkhathaza ngokubandakanyeka kubomi besikolo kwaye uhlala engavumi. UShinagawa usekutheni ehlala emkhathaza de afumane imfihlo yakhe. Ngelixa esenokubonakala engumntu omele ikhosi, u-Adachi akanangqondo kwaye akaqaqambi kangako, kwaye uShinagawa ekugqibeleni wafunda ukuba u-Adachi wayengumkreqi. Eguquka ekubeni yiyankee kuyo yonke iminyaka yakhe yamabanga aphakathi, u-Adachi uzimisele ukutshintsha iindlela zakhe ukuze aqonde umbono wakhe wokuba ngummeli weklasi ephezulu. Ke akazukuqhubeka nokwenza kwaloo mpazamo ayenzileyo, ugqiba kwelokuba ancede uShinagawa. Baqala njalo amaqabane abo esikolo kwiSikolo samaBanga aPhakamileyo iMon Shiro kunye namava abo balingane babini bangalindelekanga.
Daichi Shinagawa
Umlinganiswa oyintloko webali. Ekwabizwa ngokuba yi "Yankee kun," uShinagawa ngumkreqi omfutshane ongafuni kuphazanyiswa kwaye akanazicwangciso zendlela yakhe yokuphila kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo. Kude kube ukuba anelise umntu owayesakuba ngumkreqi owamqinisekisa ukuba atshintshe indlela yakhe anokuthi aguquke njengoko wenzayo, uAdachi. Ukusuka kwizinto ezincinci ezinjengokungatshayi kunye nokuphepha ikhosi ukuya ekubeni ngusekela-mongameli webhunga labafundi uye wahlukunyezwa ngu-Adachi ukuba asebenze ngakumbi ekholejini, kodwa utshintsha kancinci ngekhonkco: ekuqaleni. Uyakucekisa ukufunda kodwa akakho mbi kakhulu kwizibalo. Ukwangumntu onyanisekileyo oya kuzama ngayo yonke into ukukhusela abanye, ukufumana ilungu elibalulekileyo kwiqela lakhe elitsha alifumeneyo labahlobo.
Ngelixa utata wakhe, onesitayile sakhe esithelekiseka nesakhe, engugqirha owaziwayo, umama wakhe ligqwetha. Emva komtya, kubonisiwe ukuba wayephakathi kwabafundi abagqwesileyo kwisikolo esiphakathi sabucala esithembekileyo. Emva kokulwa neenjubaqa eziye zaphazamisa umntu okhuphisana naye kwizifundo, uShizuku Hachioji wakhatywa kwiziko. Amanqaku akhe ayesele eqalisile ukuhla, ekugqibeleni waphulukana nomdla kwizifundo ngokupheleleyo kwaye kamva waba ngumfundi onamanqaku ahlwempuzekileyo nangona wenza isithembiso noShizuku sokuba azalisekise kwakhona ekholejini. Esi sihlandlo siphawula ukufumana kwakhe ubunjubaqa kunye nenkangeleko yakhe eguqukileyo (wayekade eneenwele ezimnyama kwaye enxibe izibuko).
Ekuqaleni unonxibelelwano lweNtiyo yothando kunye noHana Adachi, eyonwabela ngenxa yomlingiswa wakhe ukunceda abanye kungakhathaliseki ukuba yintoni na, kodwa ukumqhubela, kunye nokucaphuka kunye naye ngenxa ye-idiocy yakhe, ukunqongophala kwe-gumption yokuncedisa iziqhulo kunye nezicwangciso zakhe ze-eccentric. Kwisahluko sebhonasi, kutyhilwe ukuba uShinagawa wakhetha ukulinda uMon Shiro nje emva kokubona intombazana ekhangayo, eyaba ngu-Adachi ngokwenene ngaphandle kweeglasi zamehlo kunye neenwele ezikhululekile (into ethile akazange ayiqonde kude kube kamva), ekuhlolweni kwakhe kokungena. Nangona wayehlala exabana no-Adachi, wayeya kwenza into enjalo ukuze angalimazi okanye aphazamise. UAdachi uhlala engazi ngeemvakalelo zaseShinagawa, nangona ede abe nomona xa umfundi owayesakuba kwisikolo samabanga aphakathi exelela usukelo lwakhe lokumcela ukuba aye eShinagawa aze kamva avume ukuba uyamnandipha.
Wamkelwa kwikholeji edumileyo kwaye kwiminyaka emine emva kokuphumelela kwabo kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo, ubonakaliswe ukuba ufundisa eMon Shiro.
