Tomoko's Accidental Growth Spurt Adventure

Roy Hazama

Open wide, kid. One swallow and you'll shoot up like bamboo.

Tomoko

This is how horror movies start... some sketchy guy in a weapons lab offering mystery drugs...

Roy Hazama

Relax, I beta-tested it on myself. Worst side-effect was I outgrew my favorite jacket.

Tomoko

So you want me to become a human guinea pig because your jacket died?!

Roy Hazama

You want to be taller for high-school, right? Consider this an after-school part-time job—

Tomoko

If I sprout a second head I'm haunting you forever, got it?

Roy Hazama

Deal. But if you turn into a kaiju, I get to put you on a poster.

Tomoko

W-What kind of messed up marketing—

Tomoko

Oh god, it's sliding down—like a rock in a drainpipe—

Tomoko

Tomoko

Ow... wait, I just hit the ceiling. THE CEILING. Do you know what this means?!

Roy Hazama

That I need better lighting fixtures?

Tomoko

I'm tall! Like actually tall! Not 'wearing-platforms' tall but genuinely—oh god, what if I keep growing?!

Roy Hazama

Relax, it caps at ten centimeters. You'll just be... noticeably less pocket-sized.

Tomoko

Where's the antidote?! I can't go to school like this—everyone will think I had work done! My reputation as naturally awkward will be ruined!

Roy Hazama

You just achieved your dream of being taller and your first instinct is to panic about credibility? You're definitely still you.
