[00:00] Shiori
    I am the princess of the Star People,
    and I wandered here from outer space.
[00:06] Ichiro
    Princess?
[00:07] Ichiro
    She might be dangerous...
[00:10] Shiori
    Our customs dictate that a marital union be
    formed with the one linked by my stinger.
[00:16] Ichiro
    Are those your family's customs?
[00:20] Shiori
    Yes.
[00:21] Shiori
    I was supposed to marry a
    partner of my parents' choosing.
[00:26] Shiori
    But I learned from manga how wonderful
    an unfettered love and life can be,
[00:32] Shiori
    and I decided to leave the island.
[00:36] Shiori
    And so Kuga-san, you and I must
    first attempt to fall in love.
[00:41] Ichiro
    You don't want to obey
    those customs, do you?
[00:44] Shiori
    Correct.
[00:45] Ichiro
    Then, is there any need to
    force yourself into love?
[00:51] Ichiro
    I mean, falling in love is fine,
    but choose your partner carefully.
[00:56] Shiori
    I see your point.
[00:58] Shiori
    I do have the choice to not fall in love.
[01:01] Ichiro
    Besides, it's always possible
    I already have someone.
[01:06] Shiori
    Do you?
[01:07] Ichiro
    I don't at the moment.
[01:10] Ichiro
    But let's just forget that
    whole thing. It's problematic.
[01:14] Shiori
    You've already been chosen, though.
[01:22] Ichiro
    Oh, sorry. We'll come back to this.
[01:24] Shiori
    Um, would you mind if I got some rest?
[01:29] Ichiro
    No problem. Feel free to take a nap.
[01:38] Ichiro
    What really is her deal?
[01:53] [SONG] OP
    Looks like it started before I knew it
[02:01] [SONG] OP
    Thanks to you, I'm all smiles
[02:08] [SONG] OP
    The usual townscape lends charm to the two of us
[02:16] [SONG] OP
    Funny how it looks like a starry sky
[02:25] [SONG] OP
    Suddenly buying flowers
[02:27] [SONG] OP
    Standing around in the kitchen
[02:29] [SONG] OP
    Sending a photo, because the setting sun is pretty
[02:32] [SONG] OP
    Trying to spend as much time with you as I can
[02:37] [SONG] OP
    This is all new for me
[02:42] [SONG] OP
    I hope tomorrow is like today
[02:48] [SONG] OP
    I've never felt this way before
[02:54] [SONG] OP
    We'll go on a date this weekend if possible
[03:00] [SONG] OP
    But it's fine if we stay home
[03:07] [SONG] OP
    I can't wait to see you

[03:18] Morikuni
    Hey, good work.
[03:21] Morikuni
    What's wrong?
[03:22] Ichiro
    I had a bit of a scare.
[03:24] Ichiro
    I thought I was going to miss the deadline.
[03:27] Morikuni
    Yeah, that'd be scary.
[03:30] Morikuni
    Speaking of scary, I recently
    saw two horror flicks in a row.
[03:34] Ichiro
    Oh, impressive. Were they any good?
[03:38] Morikuni
    I think you could handle them, Kuga-kun.
[03:40] Morikuni
    They both had to do with villages with
    strange festivals, customs, rituals, etc.
[03:43] sign
    customs
[03:46] Ichiro
    No, I would pass.
[03:48] Morikuni
    But they're entertaining.
[03:52] Morikuni
    Oh, hey, why not draw some color pages?
[03:55] Morikuni
    I like your coloring.
[03:58] Ichiro
    Of course!
[03:59] Morikuni
    Cool, take today off.
[04:03] Ichiro
    Yes!
[04:05] Ichiro
    My first color pages in a year!
[04:21] (Flashback) Shiori
    Good morning, everyone.
[04:24] (Flashback) islander 1
    Good morning, princess.
[04:26] (Flashback) islander 2
    Good morning.
[04:40] Shiori
    Sure enough.
[04:43] Shiori
    I guess when I'm this far away from
    my people, our bond will weaken.
[04:53] Machi
    We're having barbecue tonight!
[04:55] Fumio
    Great.
[04:56] Chihiro
    Where's Ichiro-kun?
[04:58] Machi
    Still asleep, right?
[05:02] Shiori
    Excuse me.
[05:04] Machi
    Goshiki-san, you're awake!
[05:07] Chihiro
    Good morning.
[05:08] Shiori
    Um...
[05:09] Chihiro
    Oh, I'm Chihiro Ibusuki from room 201.
[05:14] Shiori
    Chibi-chan!
[05:17] Shiori
    Good morning.
[05:18] Chihiro
    Would you like to go get lunch?
[05:21] Shiori
    No, thank you.
[05:23] Shiori
    I'm going to head home first.
[05:27] Chihiro
    All right.
[05:33] Machi
    Ichiro, it's about dinnertime.
[05:42] Chihiro
    He has a fever.
[05:44] Machi
    You need to get decent sleep!
[05:51] Shiori
    I'd better text him where to send my pay.
[05:55] Fumio
    Text message.

    Please send my payments to this bank account.
[05:58] sign
    I have a fever and will respond to you later.
[05:59] Machi
    Hey! Fumio, that's not your phone!
[06:06] Fumio
    Ichiro!
[06:08] Ichiro
    Fumio! Get away, or you'll catch this!
[06:14] Machi
    Get us sick! We'll split it into thirds!
[06:18] Ichiro
    Chibi-chan, could you keep
    them isolated from me?
[06:20] Fumio
    Into thirds.
[06:21] Chihiro
    S-Sure.
[06:21] Machi
    Hurry and get better!
[06:28] Ichiro
    I'm so drained. Was this
    usually how colds feel?
[06:33] Ichiro
    I wonder if Goshiki-san's all right.
[06:42] Shiori
    Kuga-san, please hold my hand!
[06:47] Shiori
    I apologize for this, but it seems
     you're under my influence.
[06:52] Shiori
    Your fever appears to have formed because
    we moved away from each other physically.
[06:57] Ichiro
    A fever because you and
    I got too far apart?
[07:01] Shiori
    Yes. It's more like my
    power than my influence.
[07:05] Shiori
    Do you feel a little better
    now that I've returned?
[07:08] Ichiro
    Better than before, now that you mention it.
[07:13] Shiori
    I'm sorry.
[07:15] Shiori
    You're receiving retribution.
[07:18] Shiori
    For being my betrothed,
    yet being far apart from me.
[07:23] Shiori
    It's all to protect me, as princess.
[07:27] Shiori
    Neither I nor you can control the
    intentions of the Great Star.
[07:33] Shiori
    An accident may have led to this,
[07:35] Shiori
    but I never meant to put you
    through this unreasonable ordeal.
[07:40] Shiori
    I'm sorry.
[07:43] Ichiro
    Hey, um...
[07:45] Ichiro
    This whole scenario of yours?
[07:47] Ichiro
    You don't need it either, do you?
[07:50] Shiori
    Oh, please don't get up.
[07:55] Shiori
    I'll lie down next to you.
[08:06] Ichiro
    Y-You can get up!
[08:09] Shiori
    It's no problem.
[08:10] Ichiro
    It seems awkward!
[08:13] Shiori
    Machi-san said you're doing work for your
    siblings' sake that isn't what you want to do.
[08:19] Ichiro
    She said that?
[08:22] Shiori
    Yes.
[08:22] Ichiro
    Well, it's true that I didn't have
    any luck with shonen magazines.
[08:26] Ichiro
    And I was happy to be told that
    I'm cut out for shojo manga.
[08:29] Ichiro
    But it's not only for
    Machi's and Fumio's sakes.
[08:33] Shiori
    Is that so?
[08:35] Ichiro
    I'm just lucky that what I like to do and
    what I have to do happen to overlap.
[08:42] Shiori
    You accept your burden and
    search for the best path forward.
[08:47] Ichiro
    I've never thought of it as a burden.
[08:51] Ichiro
    Isn't it a tiresome idea that people need to
    be given things like burdens and retribution?
[08:58] Shiori
    Yes, I've long wondered if it's possible
    to share feelings with someone
[09:01] Shiori
    without controlling them!
[09:04] Shiori
    Like in those beautiful stories I've read.
[09:12] Shiori
    What's this?
[09:14] Ichiro
    Rough color sketches.
[09:15] Shiori
    Color! It's been a year since you've done any.
[09:18] Ichiro
    Yeah, I was so excited I drew a bunch.
[09:23] Ichiro
    Which do you like best?
[09:28] Shiori
    I like this one.
[09:30] Ichiro
    O-Okay, maybe I'll try expanding
    on this pattern a little more.
[09:35] Shiori
    Don't overdo it.
[09:38] Ichiro
    Will I... get better if we hold hands?
[09:42] Shiori
    Physical contact should lessen the burden.
[09:51] Ichiro
    I-If you would.
[10:11] Ichiro
    That's kinda comfy.
[10:13] Ichiro
    I see. She's been telling
    the truth from the start.
[10:20] Ichiro
    No matter how silly it might sound.
[10:38] Ichiro
    Fumio, where's Goshiki-san?
[10:41] Fumio
    Ichiro!
[10:43] Ichiro
    Sorry about that. I'm fine now.
[10:56] Ichiro
    Uh, about what you said.

[11:03] Shiori
    I'm still staying somewhere temporarily,
    so I'm looking for a place.
[11:07] Shiori
    Can I rent a room?
[11:10] Ichiro
    As a friend, I recommend the place.
[11:13] Shiori
    Developing a relationship from
    friendship is lovely, too.

    very few belongings.

[11:43] Ichiro
    How do I explain that to Machi and Fumio?
[11:47] Shiori
    Excuse me.
[11:48] Shiori
    I'll help out.
[11:51] Ichiro
    No, it's okay. It's part
    of my landlord duties.
[11:54] Shiori
    Well, I also want to chat.
[11:58] Ichiro
    Yeah, we do need to discuss
    what to do from here.
[12:12] Shiori
    You want to know if it's
    possible to annul our pact.
[12:19] Ichiro
    Is it possible?
[12:20] Shiori
    I don't know yet, but I arranged for
    my staff on the island to look into it.
[12:26] Ichiro
    Th-Thank you.
[12:28] Shiori
    Is that enough?
[12:30] Ichiro
    That was quick!
[12:31] Ichiro
    Th-Thanks. This helped me finish up early.
[12:34] Shiori
    No problem.
[12:36] Shiori
    I have a favor to ask of you, too.
[12:38] Ichiro
    Th-This timing makes it hard to refuse.
[12:42] Shiori
    I want to go shopping.
    Could you come with me?
[12:46] Ichiro
    Oh, is that all?
[12:54] Shiori
    Work clothes, everyday clothes,
    and daily necessities.
[12:57] Shiori
    Is it okay if I go look?
[12:59] Ichiro
    Go ahead.
[13:03] Ichiro
    Machi still gets clothes from the children's
    section, so I never come to this floor.
[13:09] Shiori
    Kuga-san, Kuga-san!
[13:10] Ichiro
    Yes?
[13:14] Shiori
    What do you think?
[13:19] Shiori
    Either this...
[13:21] Shiori
    ...this...
[13:23] Shiori
    ...or this. I can't decide.
[13:25] Ichiro
    I'm sorry, I can't tell the difference!
[13:29] Shiori
    I'll think on it a bit more, then.
[13:32] Shiori
    I-If I mix this in like this...
[13:38] Shiori
    What do you think?
[13:40] Ichiro
    Well, it... looks like a school uniform.
[13:44] Shiori
    Does it?!
[13:45] Ichiro
    Um...
[13:47] Shiori
    I guess nobody but students would wear this.
[13:51] Ichiro
    Uh, no.
[13:52] Ichiro
    It's fine for you to wear
    it because you like it.
[13:55] Ichiro
    Did your school not have uniforms?
[13:59] Shiori
    They were correspondence
    courses, so no uniforms.
[14:01] Shiori
    I've always wanted to try wearing one.
[14:05] Ichiro
    Goshiki-san...
[14:06] Ichiro
    Then go on and buy it!
[14:09] Shiori
    I-I will!
[14:14] Shiori
    They have a lot more books than
    my grandmother's library!
[14:18] Shiori
    I-It's a gold mine! Wonderful!
[14:22] Shiori
    I might prefer some over others,
[14:24] Shiori
    but I suspect all the books out
    there in the world are interesting.
[14:28] Shiori
    I want to purchase one, for the occasion.
[14:30] Shiori
    Should I make it one of yours?
[14:32] Ichiro
    No, don't worry about that.
[14:36] Ichiro
    She sure is straightforward.
[14:43] Shiori
    I bought some!
[14:45] Ichiro
    Good for you.
[14:47] employee
    Your custard pudding, miss.
[14:49] Shiori
    This is wonderful!
[14:52] employee
    Your strawberry brûlée parfait, sir.
[14:55] Shiori
    From me, to all the Star People.
[15:02] Ichiro
    Are you... praying?
[15:05] Shiori
    No, it's a habit before eating.
[15:08] Shiori
    I thought I'd try connecting with my people.
[15:10] Shiori
    But maybe because of the
    distance, there's no response.
[15:14] Ichiro
    Are you saying you can use
    telepathy with the islanders?
[15:18] Shiori
    It's something like that.
[15:22] Shiori
    Oh, my!
[15:25] Shiori
    This pudding is wonderful!
[15:28] Ichiro
    Hey, I found the island's site.

[15:33] Ichiro
    I mean this.
[15:35] Shiori
    There's so much I don't know.
[15:38] Ichiro
    Hey, I never look at my local tourist sites.
[15:42] Ichiro
    So, there's a page about
    legends told on the island.
[15:47] Ichiro
    One day, the children of the
    island found a shooting star.
[15:52] Ichiro
    The star fell at the foot of a
    mountain and began to cry and cry.
[15:59] Ichiro
    A concerned island child came close,
    and the star's tears soaked into her.
[16:04] Ichiro
    She could sense how sad
    the star was feeling.
[16:08] Ichiro
    "I'm going to tell everyone else."
[16:12] Ichiro
    She distributed the tears to other children,
[16:15] Ichiro
    and they too could understand
    the star's feelings.
[16:19] Ichiro
    It was so lonely, it couldn't stand it.
[16:22] Ichiro
    For every tear the star shed, it grew smaller,
    and eventually disappeared altogether.
[16:29] Ichiro
    But don't worry.
[16:31] Ichiro
    The star's feelings got through to the
    people of the island, and it's not lonely anymore.
[16:37] Ichiro
    Do the Star People you mentioned
    come from this story?
[16:43] Shiori
    It's been made easy for
     children to understand.
[16:46] Shiori
    I was taught it too, when I was little.
[16:50] Shiori
    It was a meteorite rather than a star,
[16:52] Shiori
    and I heard it brought with it
    some kind of microorganism.
[16:56] Ichiro
    Doesn't that mean it's
    some kind of parasite?
[16:59] Ichiro
    And that means, you...
[17:01] Shiori
    According to my grandmother,
     it's coexistence rather than parasitism.
[17:05] Shiori
    She was the first Star Child,
    two generations before me.
[17:09] Shiori
    I never had any deep conversations
    with her when I was young,
[17:14] Shiori
    A year ago, when my mother's rule began,
[17:17] Shiori
    my grandmother started teaching me stories.
[17:20] Ichiro
    I see.
[17:22] Shiori
    They were exciting for me, as until then,
    I'd only had limited contact with books.
[17:28] Shiori
    History filled with revolutions,
    everyday activity in foreign lands...
[17:33] Shiori
    Huge schools, with tyrannical
    student councils.
[17:36] Shiori
    The amusing fellows who stand up to them!
[17:38] Ichiro
    Huh?
[17:39] Shiori
    The fire in my heart blazed up,
    and before I knew it I was copying away!
[17:44] Ichiro
    Uh, what's your grandmother doing now?
[17:48] Shiori
    She passed away.
[17:50] Ichiro
    Oh.
[17:51] Shiori
    Mother was against me leaving the island,
[17:54] Shiori
    but it was my grandmother who supported it.
[17:58] Ichiro
    Then it must be hard for you
    that I have to stick close,
[18:03] Ichiro
    now that you've finally managed to leave home.
[18:07] Shiori
    Just so you know, the reason
    I'm looking into how to annul the pact
[18:12] Shiori
    is not because I'm dissatisfied with you.
[18:15] Shiori
    If I desire a genuine romance with you,
[18:19] Shiori
    would I really have wanted it
    to be based on an accident?
[18:22] Shiori
    It's therefore important to me to be sincere
[18:26] Shiori
    as we move forward with
    proper marital relations.
[18:29] Ichiro
    Well, it doesn't have to be
    me if we annul the pact!
[18:33] Ichiro
    We'll find someone else good for you!
[18:43] Ichiro
    Sorry, I suddenly...
[18:45] Ichiro
    I'll go wash my hands!
[18:49] Ichiro
    That was a surprise!
[18:52] Ichiro
    You never know what she'll say.
[18:55] man 1
    Sure, I love manga.
[18:55] man 2
    That's great!
[18:57] Shiori
    Kuga-san.
[19:00] Shiori
    These two said they wanted
    to talk about manga.
[19:03] Shiori
    This must be one of those
    so-called offline gatherings!
[19:06] Ichiro
    No, it's not!
[19:08] man 1
    Hey, let's at least exchange contact info.
[19:10] man 2
    What's your name?
[19:11] Ichiro
    Let's go.
[19:13] Shiori
    Ow!
[19:16] Shiori
    Kuga-san, let go of my hand!
[19:26] Shiori
    Kuga-san!
[19:27] Ichiro
    Blood?
[19:29] Shiori
    Are you all right?
[19:30] Ichiro
    I am.
[19:33] Ichiro
    Shall we go?

    Yes.

[19:42] Ichiro
    Sorry to worry you.
[19:45] Shiori
    Please don't apologize.
[19:47] Shiori
    I was the cause of both the
    sneeze and the nosebleed.
[19:52] Ichiro
    Fevers aren't the only thing?
[19:55] Shiori
    The retribution for unwelcome
[19:58] Shiori
    forceful contact manifests as
    a range of physical maladies.
[20:02] Ichiro
    But it was to get you away
    from those sketchy guys.
[20:06] Ichiro
    I never meant to cause you harm.
[20:10] Shiori
    I didn't understand that.
[20:13] Shiori
    And because of that, I hurt you.
[20:20] Shiori
    If I hadn't left the island,
    this never would have happened.
[20:25] Ichiro
    Goshiki-san!
[20:27] Ichiro
    You had never even drawn
    manga before, right?
[20:31] Shiori
    Right.
[20:33] Ichiro
    If you became that good in such a short time,
[20:37] Ichiro
    you must have practiced a heck of a lot.
[20:40] Ichiro
    You were able to work at it that
    hard because you enjoy it, right?
[20:44] Shiori
    Yes.
[20:45] Ichiro
    Then don't say you wish you hadn't
    done it because of someone else.
[20:54] Shiori
    Why are you crying?
[21:00] Ichiro
    I-I'm not crying!
[21:02] Shiori
    But...
[21:03] Shiori
    May I touch you, then?
[21:14] Shiori
    See?
[21:17] Ichiro
    Oh, my sinuses cleared.
[21:19] Shiori
    Thank you for being considerate.
[21:23] Ichiro
    I do... want you to find out
    how to annul the engagement.
[21:29] Shiori
    Right.
[21:31] Ichiro
    But if you're going to live here,
     I want to help you.
[21:35] Ichiro
    I'll learn the rules of being with you.
[21:38] Shiori
    O-Okay.
[21:48] Machi
    Why are you embarrassed?
[21:49] Shiori
    I've never worn pants before.
[21:52] Machi
    You two must be getting along well,
    though, if you went shopping together.
[21:57] Chihiro
    They did?
[21:59] Ichiro
    Stop that, Machi.
[22:00] Shiori
    It's true!
[22:01] Shiori
    I was glad when he said he
    wanted to know more about me.
[22:08] Shiori
    Maybe I should have kept that our secret?
[22:12] Machi
    I-Ichiro?!

[22:27] [SONG] ED
    Meeting you, even if it meant having to cross hundreds of light-years
[22:38] [SONG] ED
    Maybe I'll slowly get used to
[22:45] [SONG] ED
    The two of us going out to have fun
[22:52] [SONG] ED
    A tug on my arm, by the bond that was formed that day
[23:02] [SONG] ED
    A little at a time, we've come closer together
[23:08] [SONG] ED
    More smiles for us
[23:12] [SONG] ED
    That place I first learned of, and the shops we'll visit again tomorrow
[23:25] [SONG] ED
    They'll all be part of these lovely days
[23:31] [SONG] ED
    Looking forward to it, good night
[23:46] Machi
    Do you know about romance?
[23:48] Fumio
    Rome-ants?
[23:49] Machi
    They say your heart races,
    and you get all jealous!
[23:52] Fumio
    Jell-us?
[23:53] Momoka
    There's always room for jell-us!
