Cheer Historia Up! (励ませヒストリア Hagemase Hisutoria?) is the 9th chapter of the 2nd volume and the 36th chapter overall of the Spoof on Titan manga, written and illustrated by hounori.

Overview

Historia's friends try cheering her up, as she tries to avoid acting like her former cheerful persona, Krista.

Summary

Connie and Jean watch Historia sweeping the floor in silence. Connie considers whether he should tell Historia a joke to cheer her up, but Jean cautions him against it. Jean says that Historia needs some time alone. Connie ignores Jean's advice and tells Historia a joke about Eren. He says that Eren dreamed of failing at ODM gear training and being forced to become a farmer. As Connie laughs at his own joke, Historia has a blank stare on her face. After she leaves, Connie bemoans Historia's severe depression. Annoyed, Jean tells Connie that his joke was not funny.

Connie approaches Armin, asking him for any ideas on how to cheer up Historia. Armin explains that it is not always ideal to cheer someone up if they do not want it. Mentioning Historia's past hardships, Armin recommends leaving her alone. Connie eagerly thanks Armin for his advice, enthusiastically telling Jean how thoughtful Armin is. Angered, Jean insists that he had already told Connie the same thing as Armin.

Mikasa states that the best way to transform one's emotional state is exercise, ordering Historia to chop wood. Historia says she cannot split it, but Mikasa demands that she put more effort into the task. Sasha pulls Mikasa to the side and asks why she is forcing Historia to chop wood. Mikasa explains that it will help her depression. Sasha counters by mentioning how Mikasa always exercises but remains gloomy. Mikasa reluctantly concedes Sasha's point.

Sasha presents a makeshift bouquet of flowers to Historia, stating how she wants to cheer Historia up. Releasing a sigh, Historia explains that she is not depressed, but she just does not have the energy to act like cheerful Krista anymore. Continuing, she asks how looking at flowers can benefit anyone. Sasha agrees with her, claiming that she will cook them for her instead. Historia is shocked and agrees to take the flowers as they are, rather than let Sasha cook them for her.

Eren is delighted to see Historia with the flowers, asking her if she is planning on using them to decorate. Historia denies planning this, but Eren convinces her to place them in a nearby cup and leave them as a table decoration. Levi enters the room and admires the flowers. Eren remarks that Historia picked them, prompting Levi to turn around. Levi grimly declares that, while the flowers are admirable, the cup choice is not, startling Eren and Historia. Levi clarifies that the choice was not her fault, as they did not possess any proper flower vase. Levi reflects on the humor of Historia's choice, trying to get her to respond. Historia tries to explain that it was not her, but Eren begins explaining himself. Mentioning how he was behind the flower placement, he laughs at it and asks Levi if he found it to be funny. Irritated, Levi slaps Eren and demands that Eren explain when he was given permission to use Levi's teacup. Levi drags Eren out of the room, threatening to discipline him, prompting Historia to giggle. Everyone who had previously been attempting to cheer her up quickly surrounds her. Connie points out that Historia laughed, but she attempts to deny it. Growling, Historia states that she would normally never laugh at something silly, because Historia is a darker persona. Agitated, Historia claims that Krista's personality took over and that she will not laugh again. Connie questions Historia as to why she is taking her name change so seriously.
