IT’S THE CAULIFLOWER’S FAULT! 

This scene killed me the first time I read it a decade ago, and it still makes me laugh today. I just love the absurdity of it. The Very Serious Mr. Ohara. Poor Shuichi being unable to focus on the task at hand because his brain is still stuck on breakfast. Mika, just storming in and dragging Shuichi out of there (“Shindou, you stud!” lol!) The shocked classroom. Sleepy Hiro. And Shuichi still not comprehending what the hap is fuckening because his brain is still broken over that cauliflower. 

(plus: Shuichi’s pigtails, that is A Look)

I *get* why the anime wanted to avoid the implications of Eiri meeting a still school-aged Shuichi, but I missed the highschool antics of Shuichi and Hiro.
