The Library Book Question 25th July 2024 - by Tsugi Urushido Jahii OVERVIEW The library often is found empty, librarians grow bored, and I don’t blame them. We haven’t had many changes in the library, including new books. So this sparks a question, when the library someday gets new books, who should provide them? Students I definitely lean towards this one! The students in Karakura range from ages 13 all the way to age 24. Some underestimate the experience these people have, and it makes me wonder if they can submit their craziest stories for other students to enjoy. Perhaps students have different interests and spend their freetime learning about it to the point of being able to write a good informative book about it. How do we...

“Media is in your hands!” “A Media Club report Senior Alyssa Yasush recently took over the Media Club This is gonna be a short one, I dunno’ nothin’ about reports, I just play video games“ Alyssa is eighteen years old and most popularly known for her social media influence on Onrain. Her second in command as Vice President is Imai Taniguchi. Alyssa Wrote that her motivation to take over the club is: "My motivation to be a new club leader is mostly because I want to do more as a student. I've been on sports teams in the past (Cheer + baseball) and been unsure of what to do moving forward. I've considered student council but I felt it didn't fit who I am. In all honesty, and I didn't even think about applying til’ the announcement came...

By: Sumi Ishida If you’ve been attending Karakura high school or community college for a while now, you may have picked up on some complaints about the class environment or violence in school and wondered how prevalent the issue truly is. You may even have experienced or witnessed the problem firsthand. These ongoing whispers of brawls and skirmishes bring the question to mind of how students are to focus on academics while dodging fists left and right? Let’s take a closer look at how students on average are feeling towards their education, and the current environment they're learning in. The following polls were conducted on 20 students, of varying age, and found in differing locations around the school. Overall the average...

Many may not have realised - I myself didn’t know this until recently - but Karakura High School has had a gardening club for a while now. It was only recently, however, the long-overshadowed club found itself under new management by a friend of mine, Athy Hayamiya. To help promote the club - support it seems to need, given its apparent obscurity until now - and support Athy, I have interviewed her to find out both her goals and plans for the club moving forward, and her reasons for taking this leadership role. (LC - Lia Celestiasume, AH - Athy Hayamiya) LC: So, tell me about yourself. What made you decide to start a gardening club? AH: Well… I didn’t start the club - I’m actually not sure who started it… I’m guessing it was a...

Volunteering in KHS June 26th 2024 - by Tsugi Urushido Jahii Should volunteering be a new norm for KHS students? Yes! People should be able to volunteer. When walking around school, I notice how many students are out and about during class time. Classes are full, students are running rampant, and boredom walls come caving in. When students aren’t busy, they seem to gravitate towards causing trouble, getting attention from faculty. It can be exhausting, so why not allow students to volunteer? Volunteering can allow students to take control and learn how to become respectful leaders. It can teach them valuable skills and how to get along with others. Sometimes students can expand their knowledge by volunteering somewhere they never...

“Be wild and get wild!!” A report on the Gyaru group in the school you didn't know about! Yo! Yo! Yo! Check it out! A report on the Gyaru group that's in the school and on Onrain! I’ll be using the group's post on Onrain for all my references so if you wanna check them out yourselves i’ll leave their usernames! Photo from @GyaruGirl on Onrain “What are Gyarus?” Gyaru, is a Japanese fashion subculture. The term gyaru is a Japanese transliteration of the English slang word gal. The initial meaning as a Japanese slang word during the Showa era was similar to the English meaning and referred to a young woman in her late teens to twenties. Photo from @Arigatougyaru on Onrain “Are there different types of Gyarus?” You can...

Valentina! A Rose With Thorns! A report on your favorite (probably) high school, cheer team captain! Yo! Yo! Yo! Check it out! A report on the high school cheer team captain, I'm pretty sure this is the first report of the summer too, if not then it is now!

During school time, you can see the pretty face going about her day with her friends doing whatever cheerleaders do! the other day I saw her getting harassed by these three weirdos! so it seems she's popular with the new guys around! or its just that she's super attractive, who knows! but there's one thing I know for sure is that she doesn't mess around when...

As many may remember from my last report, Karakura High School’s current occult club is not its first - it previously hosted one for a 20 year period between 1967-1987. However, as my previous report noted, tragedy struck and claimed the lives of nine of the club’s ten members in February 1987 - with the tenth member, Takeshi Sone, going missing. To this day, the mystery surrounding the deaths of the club’s nine members, Tagawa Suki, Yanagi Katsu, Asato Michi, Tsukimoto Hikaru, Kase Tatsuya, Ohashi Tomiko, Mizuno Yasuko, Soga Kayo and Rei Nobuko remains unsolved - and Takeshi’s disappearance remains as confusing. Despite this, however, I have made a breakthrough - and while I, regretfully, can’t say I know what became of Takeshi or...

Cooking in Karakura High May 14, 2024 - By Tsugi Urushido Jahii How Cooking Impacts School Cooking can be so much fun whether you’re good at it or not. Putting in hard labor for something delicious at the end is totally worth it, right? To be able to customize your ingredients can allow you to make something new to try. If you’re bad at it, why not get better? Cooking practice is an improvement you can taste! When it comes to me personally, I’m the type who likes to go big. Cooking is a messy hobby of mine, yet it’s nice to be carefree and be all over the place sometimes. I’m more of a baker, creating and decorating cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and all types of sweets. I love to add custom colors to my frosting in order to make it...

Watch out! Punk Hazards! A report on the delinquents terrorizing the students! Where to find them lingering and how to avoid them! Yo! Yo! Yo! Check it out! Jujustsu Sauto here with his first report! It's about warning the students about the delinquents that roam the school, how to spot them, where they hang out during school time, and how to avoid a fight with them! I also gathered some people's thoughts on these delinquents and what you should do to avoid them based on their experiences "Where shouldn't I go?" During schooltime, these delinquents tend to gather around where they can't be bothered by faculty members or school council members so that they don't get in trouble or get any consequences for what they do during...

As many are aware, Karakura High School has recently introduced an unusual new club; the Occult Club. It’s an interesting choice, especially to me - though I’ve not met any of its members yet, unfortunately, so I’m unable to say anything else about the modern club, something notable is that this isn’t the first one. In 1967, Karakura High School became host to a secret society - its first occult club, founded by Tagawa Suki with his best friend, Takeshi Sone. Over the following two decades, the club would exist as a staple of Karakura High School and draw in new members - ultimately gaining a total of ten before, in 1987, tragedy struck. On February 21st, 1987, all ten of the club’s members vanished without warning, prompting an...

The Future of Dodgeball Can we do more to make Dodgeball the #1 sport in KHS? by Tsugi Urushido Jahii and Keio Akori When it comes to sports teams, what do you think of? Football, Baseball, Volleyball? What about Dodgeball? A sport is more than the game, it’s the people who play it. When have you seen people play dodgeball? Only during PE class? Does that mean people dislike the sport? No way! From what I’ve seen and experienced, dodgeball is among the most fun sports to play despite only being played during class time. Dodgeball: A Team Endeavour Team sports allow everyone, athletic or not, to come together to cheer for their favorite side: Spartans or Bobcats. Footballers will work hard and put in there all while the...

Brandy Millwell's Paranormal blog of Karakura Academics: Case 05. Kameko's Doppelganger They say everyone on Earth has at least one other person who looks identical to them, typically somewhere on our planet there's about seven people who could pass as a twin. However, what if this person showed up right at your school? Showed in the same clothes, hair color, has the same voice.. But is missing a face?

Inclusivity and the Brain A report by Yozukinabahimetsu-Togomi Reiko What is the importance of including those around you in your activities? Let’s face it: at some point during our lives, we were all lonely — not physically, but emotionally. Though times like these pass, for some, the impact lingers, and their productivity is significantly and often permanently hampered. Thus, this article emphasizes the importance of including others. Whether it be sports, friend groups, hobbies, clubs, or any other activity, including others can leave a lasting impact on both the individual and the group! While walking through campus, the groups nearby clearly stick out to me. Although the majority are groups of friends talking amongst...

Brandy Millwell's Paranormal blog of Karakura Academics: Case 04. Kumer's Haunting Jumpscare The saying goes ‘Curiosity kills the cat’, but perhaps sometimes it simply only gets close to killing. Such was the case for a curious high school student who stumbled upon an unexpected fright in the depths of the school bathroom. I am Brandy Millwell, and in today's investigation, I delved into the chilling encounter recounted by Bartholomew Kumer III, a student whose curiosity led him down a path he never anticipated. BARTHOLOMEW KUMER III: THE SCARE As Bartholomew traversed the halls of the school one ordinary day, his curiosity was piqued by the presence of the first gender-neutral bathroom tucked away at the back of the building...
