    I'm having a bento with Mizuho for lunch.
[00:33] SHIN
    Then, I'm going to work on homework
    with Mizuho after school.
[00:38] KIZUKI
    What? Then, I'll do clean-up duties with her!
[00:41] SHIN
    Uh-huh.
    We're going to walk Shinshin together.
[00:45] KIZUKI
    Then we'll...!
[00:46] SHIN
    No, we will...!
[00:47] KIZUKI

    You okay?
[01:05] CHIKA
    You look like you've aged about ten years.
[01:07] CHIKA
    Want a collagen drink?
[01:09] MIZUHO
    I can't take this anymore.
[01:11] MIZUHO
    I wanna go home and read manga.
[01:14] MIZUHO
    By myself.
[01:18] CHIKA
    Y'know, I was really surprised.
[01:22] CHIKA
    Seeing the eternally
    cold-hearted Kashiwagi-kun all...
[01:27] CHIKA
    Love truly changes people.
[01:31] CHIKA
    It's so funny.
[01:33] MIZUHO
    It's not funny!
[01:36] CHIKA
    You should be enjoying this, Mizuho.
[01:39] CHIKA
    How could someone who has zero romantic
    experience pursue shojo manga writing?
[01:44] MIZUHO
    Ouch, ouch, ouch! You hit a sore spot!
[01:49] MIZUHO
    The new issue of Monthly Haruka is out today.
[01:52] MIZUHO AND CHIKA
    We can see The Newcomers'

[02:16] SIGN
    Mizuho was smiling, but I think the
    Newcomers' Manga Competition
    results shocked her.
[02:16] SIGN
    I'm just letting you know.
    Please check in on her.
[02:20] SYUGO
    Where'd she go?
[02:22] KIZUKI
    I'll go look for her!
[02:23] AIRU
    Wait!
[02:26] AIRU
    I think I know where Mizuho could be.
[02:29] ALL
    What?
[02:31] AIRU
    So leave it to me.

[04:33] (Flashback) PUNK1
    Stop being cocky, Airu.
[04:40] (Flashback) PUNK1
    Don't think you're some hot shot
    just because Toya-san took a liking to you.
[04:50] (Flashback) PUNK1
    We've never thought of you
    as one of us. Not even once.
[04:55] (Flashback) PUNK1
    You don't belong here.
[04:59] (Flashback) PUNK1
    Not that you have anywhere
    to go back to, anyway.
[05:04] (Flashback) PUNK1
    Let's bounce.
[05:06] PUNK3
    So mean.
[05:06] (Flashback) PUNK2
    He was getting too full of himself.
[05:09] (Flashback) PUNK3
    You're so scary.

    Airu!
[06:07] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    I knew you'd be here!
[06:13] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    What's with those injuries? Are you okay?
[06:17] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    Let's go to the hospital!
[06:18] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    Your mom and everyone else
    are so worried about you!
[06:27] (Flashback) AIRU
    Mizuho.
[06:29] (Flashback) AIRU
    Go out with me.
[06:31] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    What?
[06:32] (Flashback) AIRU
    I... I hate myself so much right now.
[06:37] (Flashback) AIRU
    I don't belong anywhere.
[06:43] (Flashback) AIRU
    But...
[06:46] (Flashback) AIRU
    I feel like I could change
    if I went out with you.
[06:58] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    I won't go out with you.
[07:02] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    You don't love me romantically, right, Airu?
[07:16] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    Even if I'm not your girlfriend...
[07:19] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    I'll be by your side, Airu.
[07:25] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    I'll always be your ally.
    You belong right here, Airu.
[08:05] AIRU
    Found you, Mizuho.
[08:08] AIRU
    Hup.
[08:11] MIZUHO
    Airu...
[08:22] AIRU
    This is our secret spot.
[08:36] AIRU
    Sorry about the Newcomers' Manga Competition.
[08:42] MIZUHO
    You guys put in a lot of effort, too. Sorry.
[08:47] AIRU
    Don't worry about that.
[08:56] MIZUHO
    I haven't debuted even though I've been
    applying since elementary school...
[09:04] MIZUHO
    I don't think I have any talent
    for this after all...
[09:10] SIGN
    Newcomers' Manga Competition
[09:13] MIZUHO
    I think I need to stop chasing my dreams
[09:18] MIZUHO
    and focus on studying for
    college entrance exams instead.
[09:35] AIRU
    Don't say anything else.
[09:44] AIRU
    Mizuho, I'm your ally.
[09:56] AIRU
    Back when I was falling apart
    in middle school,
[10:01] AIRU
    your words really saved me.
[10:08] AIRU
    So I'll say the same thing to you.
[10:11] AIRU
    In the future, whether you become a manga
    artist, an office worker, or a model...
[10:19] AIRU
    I'll always be your ally.
[10:29] MIZUHO
    Airu...
[10:31] AISU
    Oh! But I guess a model would be impossible!
[10:33] MIZUHO
    Shut up.
[10:34] AIRU
    Whoa!
[10:57] AIRU
    Get to sleep early, okay?
[10:59] MIZUHO
    Yup.
[11:00] AIRU
    See ya.
[11:03] MIZUHO
    Airu.
[11:07] MIZUHO
    Thanks for today.
[11:10] AIRU
    Yeah!
[11:14] AIRU
    Oh, jeez.
[11:15] AIRU
    I told them to leave it to me.
[11:18] AIRU
    But it looks like someone
    who won't listen is here.
[11:25] MIZUHO
    Kizuki!
[11:27] AIRU
    See you tomorrow, you two.
[11:38] AIRU
    This is where I belong.
[11:42] AIRU
    Mizuho, Kizuki...
[11:46] AIRU
    The two most irreplaceable
    and important people to me.
[11:52] MIZUHO
    What are you doing here?
[11:55] KIZUKI
    Airu said he'd find you, but...
[11:59] KIZUKI
    I really wanted to see you, Mizuho.
[12:04] MIZUHO
    Kizuki...
[12:09] KIZUKU
    Here.
[12:12] MIZUHO
    This is...
[12:15] MIZUHO
    I drew this for you in elementary school.
[12:23] KIZUKI
    It's my treasure.
[12:27] KIZUKI
    I like the "you" that works hard
    and chases after your dreams, Mizuho.
[12:35] KIZUKI
    You won't quit making manga, right?
[12:46] MIZUHO
    It's not fair.
[12:51] MIZUHO
    If you...
[12:53] MIZUHO
    If you say stuff like that...
[13:02] MIZUHO
    It makes it harder for me to give up!
[13:13] KIZUKI
    You don't have to give up.
[13:15] KIZUKI
    Keep going.
[13:18] KIZUKI
    If it gets hard and you want to cry,
[13:20] KIZUKI
    I'll wipe your tears away for you.
[13:58] SYUGO
    Hey!
[13:59] SYUGO
    I told you to raise the level on this, Mizuho!

[15:56] MIZUHO
    Airu!
[16:08] AIRU
    Your makeup is outdated as usual, Mizuho.
[16:12] MIZUHO
    Looks like you dyed your hair
    another flashy color, Airu.
[16:15] AIRU
    Pink and purple! Doesn't it look good?
[16:18] MIZUHO
    I didn't think you'd be back for summer break.
[16:21] AIRU
    I wanted to check out
    an exhibition in Hong Kong
[16:24] AIRU
    while my school in London was still out.
[16:27] AIRU
    Here's your gift, a lipstick.
[16:29] MIZUHO
    Oh, thanks.
[16:32] MIZUHO
    It's cute.
    I wonder if this will even suit me.
[16:38] AIRU
    You don't seem very happy.
[16:41] AIRU
    What's up?
[16:43] MIZUHO
    Nothing's going on.
[16:45] MIZUHO
    I'll use it starting tomorrow.
[16:47] MIZUHO
    Thanks.
[16:51] AIRU
    Okay! Let's eat here at the airport.
[16:54] MIZUHO
    Ah, yeah!
[16:55] AIRU
    I've been craving some real Japanese food.
[16:58] MIZUHO
    Sounds good!
[16:59] MIZUHO
    How about some tempura since it's been a while?
[17:14] SIGN
    Tempura
[17:18] AIRU
    Yum!
[17:20] AIRU
    This broth! This is what I'm talking about!
[17:26] AIRU
    I finally feel like I'm back in Japan.
[17:33] AIRU
    There's conveyor-belt sushi
     over in London, too.
[17:35] AIRU
    But they have stuff
    that I've never even heard of.
[17:38] MIZUHO
    You're so cool, Airu.
[17:41] MIZUHO
    You decided to study abroad and
    made it happen, flying overseas.
[17:49] AIRU
    It's nothing...
[17:51] AIRU
    I'm just a guy that thrived off others
    complimenting me, and stayed in modeling...
[17:54] AIRU
    Until recently when I wanted to study
    makeup and fashion from the basics.
[17:58] AIRU
    So I panicked and went back
    to school. That's it.
[18:11] AIRU
    What about you, Mizuho?
[18:13] AIRU
    How's the editing job?

[18:29] AIRU
    You've been a hard worker
    for as long as I've known you, Mizuho.
[18:34] AIRU
    Your hair was a mess and
    your clothes were all wrinkled
[18:38] AIRU
    before a manga competition
    deadline. It was horrible.
[18:41] MIZUHO
    S-Shut up!
[18:46] AIRU
    I respected you.
[18:49] AIRU
    Instead of getting scared of stumbling,
    I needed to keep running with all my might.
[18:55] AIRU
    That's what I thought of
    whenever I saw you, Mizuho.

    I competed against a guy
    for the highest test scores.
[19:44] MIZUHO
    What?
[19:46] KAWAGUCHI
    Now that I think about it,
    it's possible that I liked him.
[19:53] KAWAGUCHI
    I'm thinking of writing a new
    series inspired by that.
