**[00:14] ---**
Why?
**[00:16] ---**
It's the day before Comic Festival,
and I'm not excited at all.
**[00:19] ---**
It's Comic Festival! I used to get
so excited, it was kind of stupid.
**[00:24] ---**
What happened to me?
**[02:07] ---**
You look happy, Kanako.
**[02:09] ---**
No wonder!
**[02:11] ---**
Today I get to cosplay with everybody!
**[02:15] ---**
Everybody was busy with
their own things yesterday,
**[02:18] ---**
but today I'm counting on you!
**[02:20] ---**
Okay!
**[02:21] ---**
So you're going straight back to America
after Comic Festival is over, Angela-san?
**[02:25] ---**
You must really love it!
**[02:26] ---**
She's tough! She does
tennis and swimming too!
**[02:31] ---**
They're really excited today.
**[02:34] ---**
Especially Ohno-san.
**[02:36] ---**
They've been like that since yesterday.
**[02:38] ---**
I won't deny that cosplay is fun.
**[02:41] ---**
Anyway, isn't Madarame-sempai late?
**[02:44] ---**
We need him for our plan!
**[02:48] ---**
Is that him?
**[02:51] ---**
Sorry, am I the last here?
**[02:53] ---**
Don't worry. There's still
time before the first train.
**[02:57] ---**
That's good.
**[02:58] ---**
Good morning, Madarame-sempai.
It's been a while.
**[03:02] ---**
Oh, uh, morning.
**[03:06] ---**
Is that you, Hato-kun?
I didn't know you had a wig like that.
**[03:09] ---**
Let's get moving.
**[03:11] ---**
Hey, it's been forever, Kugayama.
**[03:13] ---**
Since graduation, yeah.
**[03:15] ---**
That's right, sempai can only talk
to me normally when I'm a guy.
**[03:20] ---**
You look a little pale, Madarame.
**[03:23] ---**
I'm a bit hungover.
**[03:25] ---**
Hungover?
**[03:29] ---**
Hey, do you remember?
**[03:32] ---**
Last summer at the room.
**[03:34] ---**
When we were reading an
anime magazine together,
**[03:37] ---**
you flipped the pages
with these fingers.
**[03:44] ---**
Come on, Kanako! Interpret!
**[03:47] ---**
N-No.
**[03:49] ---**
I don't get it at all.
**[03:51] ---**
That really happened!
**[03:53] ---**
Well, I skipped some things, though.
**[03:55] ---**
Hey, it doesn't make sense.
**[03:55] ---**
What is this? What is this?
**[03:57] ---**
Dunno.
**[03:58] ---**
I think, basically, she wants to say thanks
for helping her last year in the club room.
**[04:03] ---**
I'm not sure I really understand her, though.
**[04:07] ---**
Last summer in the club room?
That's a long time ago.
**[04:11] ---**
I don't really remember,
but you're welcome.
**[04:15] ---**
He doesn't remember.
**[04:17] ---**
Oh. That's a shame.
**[04:24] ---**
I could return the
favor in a different way.
**[04:27] ---**
Stop that.
**[04:29] ---**
Go Next!
**[04:53] ---**
Angela-san's still clinging to him.
**[04:56] ---**
She's so aggressive.
**[04:59] ---**
Can we assume there's
something going on?
**[05:01] ---**
I read on the net once that Japanese
guys are really popular overseas.
**[05:07] ---**
I don't think that's true.
**[05:09] ---**
I don't know, but what
we're seeing here--
**[05:12] ---**
I'm sure she's bothering Madarame-sempai.
**[05:14] ---**
He still likes Kasukabe-sempai.
**[05:19] ---**
But I probably shouldn't try to interfere.
**[05:22] ---**
He avoids me when I'm a girl, anyway.
**[05:28] ---**
Ohno-sempai!
**[05:30] ---**
Yes?
**[05:32] ---**
Madarame-sempai said he was hungover.
**[05:35] ---**
Can I go help him buy doujinshi today?
**[05:40] ---**
I was really looking
forward to today though!
**[05:42] ---**
I see.
**[05:44] ---**
I'm sorry. Please.
**[05:47] ---**
Well, you did it yesterday,
and the day before.
**[05:50] ---**
Thank you.
**[05:52] ---**
Madarame-sempai! Kuchiki-sempai!
**[05:54] ---**
The male version!
**[05:56] ---**
I'll be going with you guys.
**[06:01] ---**
I think it works.
**[06:02] ---**
W-What does?
**[06:04] ---**
Thanks for the help.
**[06:06] ---**
Why are you giving a thumbs up?
**[06:16] ---**
I thought we could cosplay all
the main characters, but...
**[06:21] ---**
Probably that's guided
by the law of cycles.
**[06:24] ---**
Can I ask you something by now?
**[06:27] ---**
What was that in this morning?
Since when do you like Madarame so much?
**[06:31] ---**
I told you then.
**[06:33] ---**
He was kind to me when I
came to Japan last summer.
**[06:36] ---**
But you weren't flirting
with him in winter!
**[06:40] ---**
That's not surprising.
**[06:42] ---**
He had Saki.
**[06:44] ---**
But Saki graduated.
**[06:47] ---**
And Madarame was left
broken-hearted, right?
**[06:50] ---**
You know what I think?
Madarame deserves to be happier.
**[06:54] ---**
And isn't it about time
he finds a new love?
**[07:00] ---**
Don't scare me!
**[07:03] ---**
I don't get it at all.
**[07:05] ---**
It's perfect for you.
**[07:06] ---**
But if Ogiue-san was here
you'd do my character, right?
**[07:10] ---**
What?
**[07:12] ---**
I agreed to dress like this because
we were all going to do it.
**[07:16] ---**
That Hato... I should've quit too.
**[07:19] ---**
I need you here for my character, though!
We're a couple!
**[07:22] ---**
And don't you think Hato-chan's
fine where she is?
**[07:26] ---**
Why?
**[07:27] ---**
A guy, dressed like a guy, is going with
his guy friends to buy doujins for guys.
**[07:32] ---**
No problem, right?
**[07:34] ---**
I guess.
**[07:36] ---**
No, I mean that should be just fine.
**[07:40] ---**
I don't understand them.
**[07:46] ---**
Hato-kun, you get all your stuff?
**[07:48] ---**
You too?
**[07:49] ---**
Yeah, I got all the stuff on the list.
**[07:52] ---**
But you being here helped a lot.
**[07:54] ---**
It meant I had less to buy. Thanks.
**[07:57] ---**
It's fine.
**[07:58] ---**
How are you feeling?
**[08:00] ---**
I'll be fine once the
alcohol's out of my system.
**[08:02] ---**
A junior caring for him sempai!
**[08:05] ---**
Did you drink that much?
**[08:07] ---**
It's been really hot lately.
**[08:08] ---**
I can't concentrate. Get lost.
**[08:11] ---**
I'll head upstairs for now.
**[08:13] ---**
I'm everywhere and nowhere, you know!
**[08:17] ---**
Anyway, what do you think of day three?
There's more people here, right?
**[08:22] ---**
There's people everywhere.
It's overwhelming.
**[08:25] ---**
Yesterday I only went
to the women's booths.
**[08:28] ---**
Oh yeah. Yesterday was what
you were really here for.
**[08:32] ---**
Dorarara?
**[08:33] ---**
Yes, that's right.
I searched everywhere for stuff.
**[08:37] ---**
And in cosplay too.
**[08:39] ---**
Tanaka-san's really good,
to be able to make that overnight!
**[08:45] ---**
That's a real turnabout!
**[08:47] ---**
A female character who dresses like a guy.
I'm cross-dressing, but at the same time I'm not!
**[08:51] ---**
And since it comes with pants
I can stand up in the bathroom.
***SIGN*** End of the Line (#2)
**[08:57] ---**
Or so I thought.
**[09:00] ---**
I'm glad you're having a good time.
**[09:04] ---**
When I was a student,
I came all three days,
**[09:08] ---**
bought all the doujinshi,
and lined up at all the company booths.
**[09:12] ---**
Company booths?
**[09:14] ---**
You don't know about them?
Second floor of the west hall.
**[09:17] ---**
Lots of companies are there, but it's mostly
H-game developers and publishing companies.
**[09:20] ---**
They all hold events and sell con exclusives.
**[09:23] ---**
I didn't know they had
that here. I'll go later.
**[09:26] ---**
Once, I tripped in a line here
and fractured my hand.
**[09:29] ---**
But I still stayed in line and bought
stuff at those booths. Those were the days.
**[09:35] ---**
Fractured your hand?
**[09:36] ---**
The indiscretions of my youth.
**[09:38] ---**
And now that I'm out of school,
I can only go for one day.
**[09:43] ---**
It kinda puts out my fire.
**[09:47] ---**
No, I don't think that's the problem.
**[09:50] ---**
For me, it's all in my head.
**[09:53] ---**
But it was hot in
another way, wasn't it?
**[09:57] ---**
The temperature?
**[09:58] ---**
No... Angela-san.
**[10:01] ---**
No, no, no.
She's just making fun of me.
**[10:05] ---**
Is she? You don't think it's
finally your turn to get lucky?
**[10:07] ---**
It's a lie that everybody gets
lucky once in their life. I never have.
**[10:12] ---**
She only comes to Japan
for Comic Festival, anyway.
**[10:16] ---**
She's just messing around.
**[10:17] ---**
Forget 3D girls! 2D for the win.
**[10:21] ---**
And I got plenty of them today.
**[10:23] ---**
Um...
**[10:25] ---**
Then have you ever
fallen in love with a 3D girl?
**[10:31] ---**
Huh?
**[10:33] ---**
Never.
**[10:34] ---**
He's lying.
**[10:37] ---**
No. It's not fair to keep asking
these questions when I saw those photos.
**[10:43] ---**
But if she knew the real you,
**[10:45] ---**
I think a girl would
really like being around you.
**[10:50] ---**
What's gotten into you?
**[10:51] ---**
You're a good cook.
**[10:54] ---**
And you treat somebody
like me like a normal person.
**[11:00] ---**
You're *sure* you aren't into guys, right?
**[11:03] ---**
I-I'm not!
**[11:05] ---**
The only 3D people I've ever
fallen in love with were girls.
**[11:08] ---**
Is that after you got into BL?
**[11:11] ---**
Yes!
**[11:11] ---**
Oh, hey. There you are.
**[11:14] ---**
Hello there, Kugayama-sempai!
**[11:17] ---**
Hey. It's really hot, huh?
**[11:21] ---**
Good timing, Kugayama.
**[11:23] ---**
Hato-kun said he wanted to
check out the company booths.
**[11:26] ---**
That's right.
**[11:28] ---**
Can you keep our place?
**[11:29] ---**
Sure. I'll just be reading my doujins.
**[11:36] ---**
I think those two are really
suspicious, Kugayama-san!
**[11:41] ---**
But I guess normal people don't care.
**[11:47] ---**
No matter what you say,
she's got a boyfriend already.
**[11:52] ---**
Even in an H-game,
it would never happen.
**[11:55] ---**
And what a boyfriend.
**[11:58] ---**
I'm gonna feel like a loser
for the rest of my life.
**[12:10] ---**
Well, how do I approach
him on the way back?
**[12:20] ---**
So this whole floor is company booths.
**[12:22] ---**
Wow, there's so many!
**[12:24] ---**
Madarame-san!
**[12:28] ---**
I was just thinking of contacting you.
**[12:32] ---**
Kousaka!
**[12:34] ---**
W-Why? And why are you--
**[12:37] ---**
I've been recruited to help advertise.
**[12:39] ---**
Our new H-game is about traps.
**[12:45] ---**
I've fit Hato-kun up for the clothes...
**[12:48] ---**
What?
**[12:49] ---**
Actually, I wanted Ogiue-san to
cosplay this character, though.
**[12:54] ---**
Hato-kun's also fabulous,
**[12:56] ---**
but we may want to find someone smaller.
**[12:59] ---**
And if she were here, Hato-kun
would cosplay this one!
**[13:05] ---**
Yeah, should be this.
**[13:07] ---**
Yeah.
**[13:08] ---**
If Ogiue-san would do...
well, she won't change her mind though.
**[13:15] ---**
Hey, what's wrong, Sue?
**[13:21] ---**
You want to cosplay this one?
**[13:23] ---**
But you're blonde!
**[13:25] ---**
Anyway, I don't think Ohno-sempai
works as a middle schooler.
**[13:30] ---**
Yeah, she's too busty.
**[13:35] ---**
Madarame-san says Kousaka-san is
cosplaying as girl at the company booths!
**[13:40] ---**
And he sent a picture!
**[13:41] ---**
Wow.
**[13:43] ---**
What a natural!
**[13:44] ---**
I want to go see!
**[13:46] ---**
But I can't leave by myself.
This is a group cosplay!
**[13:50] ---**
And Kousaka-san is
working so he can't come here!
**[13:53] ---**
And going anywhere in
this crowd is impossible!
**[13:57] ---**
This is Kasukabe-sempai's boyfriend?
**[14:01] ---**
Ohno-san says she wants more pictures.
**[14:04] ---**
Sure.
**[14:05] ---**
In other words,
he's Madarame-sempai's rival.
**[14:09] ---**
Okay, ready?
**[14:11] ---**
Yeah, I don't think he can win.
**[14:14] ---**
Win what?
**[14:17] ---**
Kuchiki-kun sent a selfie.
**[14:20] ---**
Oh, he's in line.
**[14:22] ---**
"Gimmie an upskirt?"
**[14:24] ---**
I guess they're rivals,
but they get along.
**[14:31] ---**
I can't get in between them!
**[14:34] ---**
Are they going to fight
over Kasukabe-sempai?
**[14:38] ---**
I guess not.
**[14:40] ---**
They're already dating, so
Madarame-sempai watches from a distance.
**[14:45] ---**
I can see it in my mind's eye.
**[14:49] ---**
Even I think his
crossdressing is perfect.
**[14:54] ---**
Wait? Are you not wearing
makeup, Kousaka-sempai?
**[14:59] ---**
That's right.
**[15:02] ---**
It's hopeless, Madarame-sempai.
**[15:05] ---**
What's that?
**[15:11] ---**
I guess in that case,
**[15:13] ---**
dating Angela-san is
the best option for him.
**[15:17] ---**
Come on.
**[15:18] ---**
No, that doesn't seem quite right.
**[15:21] ---**
What? Still shocked by Kousaka?
**[15:24] ---**
Your crossdressing is amazing too.
**[15:26] ---**
Kohsaka's just a natural. Don't worry about it.
He's from a different dimension.
**[15:31] ---**
Anyway, I'm not gonna win.
**[15:54] ---**
I think in general terms,
I'm as good as he is.
**[15:58] ---**
So you...
**[16:00] ---**
You shouldn't say you can't win.
**[16:02] ---**
What did you say? I couldn't hear you.
**[16:09] ---**
I want him to try just a little harder.
**[16:14] ---**
It may just be me being selfish.
**[16:18] ---**
But isn't everything I want like that?
**[16:24] ---**
Stop it, please.
**[16:26] ---**
You're bothering him.
**[16:29] ---**
It's just about what I want.
**[16:32] ---**
Interpret, Kanako.
**[16:34] ---**
Okay.
**[16:39] ---**
But...
**[16:42] ---**
Even if it may be a one-night stand,
**[16:44] ---**
it could be a very memorable
event in your life.
**[16:50] ---**
A one-night stand?
**[16:52] ---**
I'm so jealous!
**[16:53] ---**
I-I don't think so!
**[16:56] ---**
I'm sure a feeling that develops
over time is much stronger!
**[17:01] ---**
I believe the feeling that you have
developed over time is surely stronger.
**[17:08] ---**
Oh, you forgot what
happened in the morning?
**[17:10] ---**
I told you, I have been fancying
Madarame since last year.
**[17:14] ---**
Now is just a trigger.
**[17:19] ---**
And it's *our* right to make
a decision for the future.
**[17:24] ---**
It's nothing for an
outsider to interfere with.
**[17:28] ---**
She's really aggressive.
**[17:30] ---**
It's so direct that translating
it is embarrassing.
**[17:33] ---**
Hang in there.
**[17:36] ---**
It doesn't matter whether I'm an outsider,
or what rights I have.
**[17:40] ---**
Because Madarame-sempai...
**[17:43] ---**
...likes Kasukabe-sempai!
**[17:46] ---**
Madarame-sempai...
**[17:50] ---**
Sempai...
**[17:55] ---**
He's a bottom!
**[17:58] ---**
Hey!
**[17:59] ---**
He's what we call a bottom in BL!
**[18:02] ---**
And he's a damn good one,
so he should be paired with a guy!
**[18:06] ---**
Like Tanaka-sempai x Madarame-sempai!
**[18:08] ---**
You picked me?
**[18:09] ---**
Or Kugayama-sempai would be great too!
**[18:11] ---**
N-No I wouldn't.
**[18:13] ---**
Or even Kuchiki-sempai trying
to be a top and failing!
**[18:17] ---**
He's not here, but Sasahara-sempai
would work too!
**[18:21] ---**
But my personal favorite right now...
**[18:23] ---**
... is the love I saw today!
**[18:26] ---**
Shut up already!
**[18:28] ---**
Kousaka-sempai x Madarame-sempai!
**[18:31] ---**
Now who should I send this picture to?
**[18:35] ---**
Stop it, please...
**[18:41] ---**
So Madarame-sempai
doesn't have time to date a girl.
**[18:46] ---**
What am I saying?
**[18:48] ---**
I can't breathe! I can't look at him!
**[18:51] ---**
Madarame... total bottom?
**[18:53] ---**
Yes! Total bottom.
**[18:58] ---**
Yes! Total bottom!
**[19:00] ---**
Total bottom! Total bottom!
**[19:03] ---**
Madarame the total bottom!
**[19:04] ---**
Angela, I forgot you liked that stuff.
**[19:07] ---**
But that is that.
**[19:11] ---**
My fingers again?
**[19:25] ---**
Oops, you got really uptight?
**[19:29] ---**
Chai... Chai Kick!
**[19:35] ---**
Ouch!
**[19:37] ---**
Oh... my.
**[19:40] ---**
Hato!
**[19:43] ---**
Good job!
**[19:44] ---**
See you at the next Comic
Festival, Madarame!
**[19:49] ---**
Yankee go home!
**[19:51] ---**
Go to hell!
**[19:53] ---**
What was that?
**[19:55] ---**
I'm not entirely sure.
**[19:58] ---**
Um, I'm sorry for the
weird things I said.
**[20:01] ---**
Nah, you saved me, so it's okay.
**[20:04] ---**
But one thing...
**[20:09] ---**
Where did you get that thing about
a feeling that develops over time?
**[20:16] ---**
It just came to me.
**[20:21] ---**
I see. Fine then.
**[20:23] ---**
Hato-chan's one of us, isn't she?
**[20:26] ---**
Excuse me.
**[20:28] ---**
You should be more careful
with these things!
**[20:32] ---**
Sorry.
**[20:33] ---**
And what happened to Hato X Madarame?
**[20:40] ---**
I'm a bottom?!
**[20:44] ---**
It was a big shock for us to accept him.
It was a big shock for all of us.
**[20:49] ---**
No, I think it's a bigger shock for him.
**[20:53] ---**
Is he forgetting how close
he came to a girl's boobs?
**[20:57] ---**
And that's the end of
this year's Comic Festival!
**[22:43] ---**
Okay, calm down.
It's not time to freak out yet.
**[22:47] ---**
"Bottom" is just a concept that
exists in a rotten girl's head.
**[22:49] ---**
It doesn't affect me in reality.
**[22:57] ---**
I'm not sure if Sasahara lets his
girlfriend use him in BL 'cause he's tough,
**[23:02] ---**
or if Madarame is just delicate.
**[23:03] ---**
While I'm sure tastes will vary,
I think that's probably what makes him good for BL.

Comic Festival was so much fun!
**[23:12] ---**
I bought too much, my legs are
sore, and I can't lift my arms.
**[23:15] ---**
Really? I'm just fine.
**[23:17] ---**
It started to get to
me on the second day.
**[23:19] ---**
Me too.
**[23:21] ---**
You're still fine, Yoshitake-san?
**[23:22] ---**
Really?
**[23:23] ---**
No, it hit me the first day.
**[23:25] ---**
I've had torn muscles and everything!
**[23:27] ---**
Torn muscles are a
pretty big deal, aren't they?
**[23:29] ---**
It takes two or three weeks
to heal, if you're lucky.
**[23:32] ---**
She's got so much energy.
**[23:33] ---**
And she's so excited to cosplay.
**[23:34] ---**
Farewell!
**[23:35] ---**
She ran!
