Chapter 38 (Todai Revengers)

"Bring back the picture" is the 38th chapter overall of the Todai Revengers parody, written and illustrated by Shinpei Funatsu.

Summary
Despite agreeing to be the lead actor of the play, Michitake doubts that Makkun will do the job of the playwright correctly. However, he assures Michitake that he will make Michitake the lead actor with Hayase as the female heroine. This sways Michitake into leaving the job in Makkun's hands as long as he gets to practice alone with Hayase, but Makkun tells him that he is strict, inviting him into daily one-on-one practice sessions with him. While Yariel is confused by the strange setup, Michitake and Makkun begin to fight over the positions.

Suddenly, Kyazutora Haneju and Mafuyu Matsuno enter the classroom, claiming that they will become the lead actor and scriptwriter instead. Michitake is unamused at the interruption and calls them out. Mafuyu explains that he cannot join another class' play because he is merely a Literature II student. On the other hand, Kyazutora solely entered Todai University to participate in a Bunsaru play, which he never got to do despite already being a second-year student. For this reason, Kyazutora has become withdrawn, and he rarely speaks to people outside of his performances. Michitake explains that they do not have the credibility to take on important roles in the play, but Mafuyu reveals that Kyazutora was once a top performing artist in high school. With this, he wishes to see Kyazutora shine in the class' stage play since every other class turned them down.

Mafuyu and Michitake argue about the roles, while Namioka starts to pity them. Mafuyu tells Kyazutora to put on a show in order to prove his acting skills. Kyazutora starts to perform, and Michitake notices that he can suddenly see backdrops as Kyazutora acts with his facial expressions. Through a monologue, Mafuyu convinces Yariel of Kyazutora's talent, stating that it is a natural skill for backdrops to vividly appear whenever he acts onstage. Even then, Michitake refuses to give up the positions, causing Mafuyu to introduce them to their chosen director of the play. Suddenly, Boji enters the classroom.
