    Dear Nishino Mizuho-sama,
    Would it be possible to end
     Kawaguchi Megu-sensei's series
    by the end of this year?
    We appreciate your consideration.
    Yoda
[00:58] MIZUHO
    End within the year, huh?
[01:00] GIRL
    Come on, let's go.
[01:02] GIRL
    You were up late last night, weren't you?
[01:06] GIRL
    Sheesh.
[01:20] MIUZNO/ID
    That brings back memories.
[01:30] MIZUHO/ID
    What?
[01:33] MIZUHO/ID
    Is that me?
[01:39] MIZUHO/ID
    At the time, I didn't realize...
[01:44] MIZUHO/ID
    that I had a sparkling adolescence, too.

[04:14] FATHER
    Mi-chan, good morn... ing...
[04:21] FATHER
    Mi-chan!
[04:27] FATHER
    I know you're childhood friends,
[04:28] FATHER
    but you shouldn't stay up late
    and fall asleep together like children!
[04:33] FATHER
    Right, honey?
[04:37] MIZUHO
    What are you so worried about?
[04:40] MIZUHO
    I just asked him to model for me.
[04:44] MIZUHO
    Besides, Kizuki is like
    a younger brother to me.
[04:53] KIZUKI
    Thanks for having me over.
[04:56] FATHER
    I wish you'd said hello to me yesterday.
[05:00] FATHER
    Oh, right. There's breakfast on the table.
[05:03] MIZUHO
    Okay.
[05:06] MIZUHO
    Thanks for packing my lunch, too.
[05:09] MIZUHO/ID
    My dad totally forgot...
[05:13] MIZUHO/ID
    that it's my birthday today.
[05:16] SIGN
    Koigahama Highlands!
[05:21] MIZUHO/ID
    I have four teenage childhood friends
    who I've grown up with
[05:26] MIZUHO/ID
    in a neighborhood called
    Koigahama Highlands.
[05:34] MIZUHO
    Good morning.
[05:37] SYUGO
    You're late.
[05:38] MIZUHO
    It takes time for me to get ready, okay?
[05:42] MIZUHO/ID
    We've always been so close that
    we can't hide anything from each other.
[05:47] MIZUHO/ID
    We're practically siblings who are
    all second-year high school students.
[05:55] SYUGO
    Seriously, Mizuho?
[05:56] SYUGO
    Are you going to school without makeup again?
[05:58] SYUGO
    There's no point in trying to hide it
    with those dorky glasses.
[06:05] AIRU
    He's right. You should be
    a little more, you know...
[06:08] MIZUHO
    A little more what, Airu?
[06:10] SYUGO
    I bet you were up late last night
    working on your manga again.
[06:14] MIZUHO
    Nothing gets past you, huh, Syugo?
[06:16] SHIN
    You should be studying instead.
[06:18] MIZUHO
    There you go again, nerd boy.
[06:20] SHIN
    Don't come crying to me before exams.
[06:23] MIZUHO
    Shin, there are things in this world
    more important than studying.
[06:27] MIZUHO
    Like love and friendship.
[06:34] SYUGO
    How can you be so serious
    first thing in the morning, Shin?
[06:36] SHIN
    You should study, too.
[06:38] SYUGO
    My grades are fine. I don't need to.
[06:41] MIZUHO
    Kizuki, your backpack.
[06:44] MIUZNO
    Why are you so careless?
[06:48] MIZUHO/ID
    The only thing that's grown is his height.
[06:51] KIZUKI
    Thanks.
[06:52] MIZUHO/ID
    He's the baby of the group.
[06:58] SYUGO
    Kizuki, practice resumes today, right?
[07:01] KIZUKI
    Yeah.
[07:02] SYUGO
    Then you'll have to go watch
    your beloved Saito-senpai, Mizuho.
[07:07] MIZUHO
    Hey, wha—
[07:08] MIZUHO
    What are you talking about?
[07:10] SYUGO
    They've got a lot of energy
    for first thing in the morning.
[07:13] SYUGO
    Whoops.
[07:16] MIZUHO
    Keep your mouth shut!
[07:27] MIZUHO/ID
    Sheesh.
[07:29] MIZUHO/ID
    Why was it my turn to clean
    today of all days?
[07:52] GIRLS
    Kizuki-kun, you're so hot!
[08:00] MIZUHO/ID
    My glasses!
[08:04] GIRL 1
    Saito-senpai's not here.
[08:07] MIZUHO/ID
    What?
[08:08] GIRL 2
    Apparently he's quitting the swim team.
[08:10] GIRL 3
    Because there's no Inter-high competition?
[08:16] MIZUHO/ID
    Saito-senpai can't quit.
[08:30] MIZUHO
    Saito-senpai.
[08:32] SAITO
    Nishino-san?
[08:42] SAITO
    We have terrible luck, don't we?
[08:47] SAITO
    Classes were suddenly canceled because
    of some infectious disease or whatever.
[08:53] SAITO
    No school trip, no sports festival,
    no fireworks display.
[08:59] SAITO
    Everything was canceled.
[09:04] SAITO
    Even swim practice and our final meet, too.
[09:08] SAITO
    What was all our effort for?
[09:20] MIZUHO
    I liked it.
[09:25] MIZUHO
    I liked watching you...
[09:30] MIZUHO
    have fun swimming.
[09:35] MIZUHO
    I intended to go to your final meet
    and tell you how I felt about you.
[09:40] MIZUHO
    Sorry, I shouldn't have said that.
[09:43] MIZUHO
    It doesn't matter, does it?
[09:48] MIZUHO
    But—
[09:54] MIZUHO
    Please swim for your own sake.
[10:00] MIZUHO
    I want to see you swim.
[10:04] SAITO
    Sorry, but you're not on the team.
[10:08] SAITO
    You don't know how I feel, Nishino-san.
[10:26] MIZUHO
    It's over.
[10:32] MIZUHO
    My one-sided love is over.
SIGN    # 1 An Awful Birthday
[10:39] MIZUHO/ID
    What an awful birthday.
[11:01] SAITO
    Kizuki.
[11:08] KIZUKI
    Senpai.
[11:09] SAITO
    Hey.
[11:16] SAITO
    You amaze me, Kizuki.
[11:18] KIZUKI
    Huh?
[11:19] SAITO
    We don't even know
    if we'll have any more meets.
[11:23] SAITO
    How can you try so hard?
[11:26] KIZUKI
    I made a promise to myself.
[11:30] KIZUKI
    If I ever made it to the final
    of a national meet,
[11:33] KIZUKI
    I'd tell her how I feel.
[11:38] KIZUKI
    I decided I'd get better
    until I achieved that.
[11:46] SAITO
    You really are amazing.
[11:49] SAITO
    I'll start practicing again tomorrow.
[11:51] KIZUKI
    Senpai!
[11:53] SAITO
    Nishino-san asked me to swim for myself.
[11:59] SAITO
    She said she wanted to see me swim.
[12:06] SAITO
    Nishino-san's your childhood friend, right?
[12:09] KIZUKI
    Not a childhood friend.
[12:11] SAITO
    Huh?
[12:13] KIZUKI
    To me, Mizuho is a girl.
[12:20] KIZUKI
    Leave her alone.
[12:29] MIZUHO
    I'm home.
[12:44] ALL
    Happy birthday, Mizuho!
[12:47] ALL
    Happy 17th birthday!
[12:51] ALL
    Surprise!
[12:53] ALL
    That went off great!
[12:54] MIZUHO/ID
    The heartfelt kindness of childhood friends...
[12:59] AIRU
    S-She's crying?!
[13:01] SYUGO
    I can see that!
[13:02] SHIN
    This is why I said we shouldn't surprise her.
[13:05] SYUGO
    Well, it's too late now! Kizuki!
[13:08] KIZUKI
    Huh?
[13:09] SYUGO
    The cake!
[13:10] KIZUKI
    What?
[13:10] SYUGO
    Get the cake!
[13:12] MIZUHO
    That's not it.
[13:20] MIZUHO
    I'm just happy.
[13:25] MIZUHO
    Thanks.
[13:27] AIRU
    Let's not forget this tearful birthday.
[13:29] MIZUHO
    Don't, Airu!
[13:31] AIRU
    Why not? There's no
    fireworks display this year.
[13:35] SYUGO
    That's right.
[13:37] AIRU
    So let's take lots of pictures.
[13:45] MIZUHO
    What should I wish for
    when I blow out the candles?
[13:49] KIZUKI
    Does only the birthday girl
    get to make a wish?
[13:52] MIZUHO
    Yeah, of course.
[13:54] KIZUKI
    Mizuho.
[14:01] KIZUKI
    You were already crying
    before you got home, weren't you?
[14:05] MIZUHO
    What?! Wh-What are you talking about?
[14:09] KIZUKI
    You're wearing glasses,
    but I could still tell.
[14:16] MIZUHO/ID
    At the time, I didn't realize that in 2020...
[14:27] KIZUKI
    I wish to become your boyfriend.
[14:36] MIZUHO/ID
    ...I was surrounded by sparkling brilliance.
[14:44] ALL
    Cheers!
[14:46] MIZUHO
    Let's eat.
[14:48] SYUGO
    So, what were you and Kizuki doing together?
[14:53] AIRU
    Did he ask you to marry him
    like Syugo used to?
[14:59] SYUGO
    I only did that before grade school
[15:02] SYUGO
    when I still hadn't realized that
    girls other than Mizuho existed.

    Mizuho, you've got cream on your face.
[15:26] MIZUHO
    Huh?
[15:33] KIZUKI
    You're like a kid.
[15:40] MIZUHO
    You're one to talk, Kizuki!
[15:53] MIZUHO
    Good morning.
[16:00] AIRU
    You started wearing contacts?
[16:03] SYUGO
    Better than those dorky glasses.
[16:06] MIZUHO
    Shut up!
[16:07] SYUGO
    It's a wash.
[16:09] MIZUHO
    Leave me alone!
[16:10] SYUGO
    Shin, say something.
[16:12] MIZUHO
    You really don't have to!
[16:15] SHIN
    No matter what you do,
    you'll always be stupid.
[16:21] KIZUKI
    It's cute.
[16:24] KIZUKI
    Mizuho, you look cute!
[16:34] MIZUHO/ID
    He pisses me off. He pisses me off...
[16:36] MIZUHO/ID
    He pisses me off!
[16:39] MIZUHO/ID
    Kizuki's definitely making fun of me!
[16:49] MIZUHO/ID
    He was just cheering me up
    because I was crying.
[16:52] MIZUHO/ID
    What does he think he's doing?
[16:56] MIZUHO/ID
    I can't reach.
[17:00] KIZUKI
    Let me see that.
[17:12] KIZUKI
    There. All done.
[17:14] KIZUKI
    Let's go eat.

[17:29] SHIN
    Kizuki, don't feed Airu your broccoli
    just because you don't like it.
[17:35] CHIKA
    You don't need to eat with the
    Koigahama Highlands group?
[17:39] MIZUHO
    Is there a problem? I just wanted
    to eat with you today, Chika.
[17:42] CHIKA
    That's a shame.
[17:44] CHIKA
    Their groupies will come for you.
[17:46] MIZUHO
    Yeah, right.
[17:47] MIZUHO
    There's no way that will—
[17:49] SUZUKI
    Nishino-san.
[17:51] SUZUKI
    Could you give this to Kizuki-kun?
[17:54] MIZUHO
    What?
[17:55] SUZUKI
    It's a gift from us.
[17:58] MIZUHO
    He's right there.
    Why don't you do it yourself?
[18:01] SUZUKI
    I can't do that!
[18:02] FUJITA
    I can't even breathe
    when we make eye contact!
[18:04] MIZUHO
    Wh-What's so great about him?
[18:07] SUZUKI
    Please!
[18:10] MIZUHO
    Wait!
[18:12] CHIKA
    They're so pure.
[18:13] MIZUHO
    What?
[18:16] MIZIUNO/ID
    Why Kizuki?
[18:18] MIZIUNO/ID
    He's just a crybaby.
[18:20] (Flashback) KIZUKI
    Mi-chan, don't go yet.
[18:26] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    Kizuki...
[18:28] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    I'll stay with you.
[18:30] MIZUHO/ID
    When we were kids, Kizuki often
    missed school because of his asthma.
[18:34] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    Look. I drew something for you today, too.
[18:40] (Flashback) KIZUKI
    You'll definitely be a manga artist
    when you grow up.
[18:43] MIZUHO/ID
    It made me happy when Kizuki laughed.
[18:47] (Flashback) KIZUKI
    You're a genius, Mi-chan.
[18:49] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    Say it again.
[18:50] (Flashback) KIZUKI
    You're the greatest of all geniuses.
[18:54] (Flashback) KIZUKI
    You're amazing.
[18:56] EDITOR
    This is pretty average.
[18:59] MIZUHO
    I see...
[19:02] EDITOR
    I want to see you write
    something only you can make.
[19:05] EDITOR
    Why don't you try writing a school
    romance in your own words?
[19:10] MIZUHO
    I-I can't do that.
[19:12] MIZUHO
    My love life is hardly interesting,
    and I lack experience.
[19:16] EDITOR
    That can't be true.
[19:17] EDITOR
    You're a current high
    school student, after all.
[19:20] EDITOR
    I'm sure you live an exciting and
    sparkling adolescence every day.
[19:24] MIZUHO
    Sparkling? My life isn't sparkling.
[19:30] EDITOR
    Are you sure?
[19:33] EDITOR
    I think you just don't realize it.
[19:45] MIZUHO
    He rejected everything.
[19:47] AIRU
    Mizuho!
[19:50] AIRU
    Hey!
[19:51] AIRU
    Mizuho!
[19:54] MIZUHO
    Airu.
[19:55] AIRU
    Look.
[19:58] AIRU
    An editor gave me all this makeup.
[20:01] AIRU
    Want one?
[20:03] MIZUHO
    Wow, you really are a charismatic influencer.
[20:07] AIRU
    What's wrong?
[20:11] MIZUHO
    Anyway, you know how it goes.
[20:13] AIRU
    I see. Adolescence, huh?
[20:16] AIRU
    Well, just draw a new one.
[20:20] AIRU
    My treat today.
[20:22] MIZUHO
    Do people really experience
    heart-pounding excitement every day?
[20:30] MIZUHO
    Watching the fireworks display
    with my crush was my dream,
[20:33] MIZUHO
    but now that's not happening
    because of the infectious disease.
[20:37] MIZUHO/ID
    Besides, Senpai rejected me.
[20:40] MIZUHO
    Oh, right.
[20:44] AIRU
    What's that?
[20:45] MIZUHO
    Some of my classmates asked me
    to give this to Kizuki.
[20:49] AIRU
    What?
[20:54] AIRU
    Mizuho, do you not care about
    other girls approaching Kizuki?
[20:59] MIZUHO
    What?
[21:01] MIZUHO
    Why would I?
[21:02] MIZUHO
    Kizuki's the baby of our group, right?
[21:05] AIRU
    Then go give it to him now.
[21:09] AIRU
    He's probably still swimming at the pool.
[21:16] MIZUHO/ID
    What's Airu's problem? Go now?
[21:20] MIZUHO/ID
    He doesn't know how I feel.
[21:22] MIZUHO/ID
    I don't want to be alone
    with Kizuki right now.
[21:37] KIZUKI
    Mizuho.
[21:40] KIZUKI
    What's up? Wanna go home together?
[21:42] MIZUHO
    I have something for you.
[21:45] KIZUKI
    What?
[21:46] MIZUHO
    Here.
[21:48] KIZUKI
    Did you make these? I love them. Thanks.
[21:51] MIZUHO
    No, my classmates Suzuki-san and Fujita-san
    asked me to give them to you.
[21:57] MIZUHO
    They said it was a gift.
[22:03] MIZUHO
    Kizuki?
[22:05] KIZUKI
    Give them back.
[22:09] MIZUHO
    What?
[22:12] MIZUHO
    Hey, wait!
[22:14] MIZUHO
    What's wrong?
[22:19] KIZUKI
    Don't you care, Mizuho?
[22:22] KIZUKI
    Don't you care if I accept a gift like that?
[22:31] MIZUHO
    No, I don't.
[22:33] MIZUHO
    I'm leaving.
[22:43] KIZUKI
    Don't go yet.
[22:47] MIZUHO
    Kizuki...
[22:52] MIZUHO/ID
    He used to be smaller and weaker than me.
[22:59] MIZUHO
    That's too tight.
[23:01] MIZUHO
    Let go of me!
[23:19] KIZUKI
    Mizuho, have you ever thought of me...
[23:23] KIZUKI
    as a man?
[23:29] MIZUHO
    No.
[23:36] KIZUKI
    Well, I'm confident.
[23:41] KIZUKI
    I know you'll fall in love with me.
[23:46] MIZUHO
    What are you—
