Beckham-kun, what are you drawing?
*dot dot dot dot dot*
Eh!? Why are you drawing dots? You're supposed to draw a portrait!

A Problem with the Way Home from School
Beckham's reading "Moco Moco", a pun on the "Coro Coro" that the Penmon manga runs in.
Beckham-kun! Beckham-kun! Stop it!
It's still class time!
Naoto-kun, do you want to read?
No thanks.
It's July's volume.
Eh?
This can't be July's volume! It hasn't been released yet!
Cool! Beckham-kun, where did you buy this new one at?
2005...
Is when this volume was published?!
He laid an egg!
Really!? I've seen it on TV before.
A penguin warms up the egg by putting the egg between their legs.
Oh yeah. Beckham-kun is also a penguin.
The egg is hatching!
He is giving birth to a new life.
I'm happy to be a part of this most impressive scene.
Beckham-kun, I don't understand this!
It's July's volume. Naoto-kun, do you want to read this one too?
1996...
It's older than the one before!
Bye bye, Naoto-kun.
I'll see you tomorrow!
Yumi-chan sure is cute.
It's Beckham-kun. Let's go home together.
Wait a minute. What kind of house does Beckham-kun really live in?
All right...
So it's that house.
Um... is this Beckham-kun's house?
Oh, it's just a regular house.
Beckham-kun, what kind of life do you have?
Umm...
Isn't that really...?
Isn't that Beckham-kun!?
Exactly! This isn't Beckham-kun's house.
He went in to rob them. I should stop him.
Hey! Beckham-kun! Stop this!
So I had my favorite necklace put away in here. How forgetful I am!
Eh!?
A robber!
Catch him!
I'm not! I'm really not...
I was in a really bad situation.
A zoo?
Oh, Beckham-kun is a penguin so he's being fed here.
Huh? I wonder where Beckham-kun is?
Let me see... where is the penguin corner? Let me see...
You've been really helpful since the day you came.
Not really.
Eh!? He's a breeder?
Nope! Nope! Beckham-kun's work has been really great this month.
Here! This is for this month's income.
Thank you very much.
Director, it's awful!
That lion isn't eating any food.
He just came to the zoo, so he's not used to being here.
What should I do? If this continues, he'll get sick.
Aw... man.
You can count on me!
Beckham-kun! Aw, Beckham-kun!
Are you sad? It is fine. This really is a good place.
That's Beckham-kun. Both are animals and their feelings are connecting with one another!
You have to eat this.
Ah?
Beckham-kun! Beckham-kun!
That's impossible. That lion has never attacked anyone.
What is he going to do with that marker?
I get it. Before he dies, he's trying to tell us who the real criminal, that has been controlling the lion from the shadow, is!
Beckham-kun, do your best! Use your final power.
I'll catch the real criminal no matter what!
Eh!?
So you're the real criminal!
It's not me!
They're still at it.
Big Scoop! Naoto's Secret!! ♥
Finished! Yes! I did it! I drew it perfectly!
Stop it!
I met up with that terrible thing again...
Geesh, Beckham-kun. Where's your house?
I really want to know about it. Eh, Beckham-kun?
Huh?
What?
Isn't this one of Beckham-kun's disguises? There's no weird human like that!
Hey, you! You're cruel to me on our first meeting!
Don't be mad that you've been exposed.
I won't take your lies any longer!
Beckham-kun...
What?
Then, who is he?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
You youngsters don't know any manners!
This kid was mistaking me for someone else.
I'm sorry.
Naoto-kun, what were you doing here?
Nothing...
Oh yeah, do you want to come over to my house?
Really!?
Yes. It's around here.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Is it inside the river?
He's a penguin, so it's normal.
Hey, Beckham-kun. Isn't your house over here?
Shortcut to Beckham's house... that way
My house is beyond there.
Was that just a shortcut?
It's a waterfall!
Naoto-kun! Naoto-kun!
Help me!
Naoto-kun, I'm coming right now!
Beckham-kun, help me!
Naoto-kun was the first one who spoke to me. He was really sad.
Yes, Naoto-kun has been close to me all the time.
There for me... for me...
He's my number one most important friend!
Me Ka Ra Beam!
Beam from an eye!
Beam! Beam!
Yes! I did it!
But that beam was meaningless!
Another terrible thing happened...
