[00:02] Naoya
    I have a girlfriend.
[00:11] Naoya
    But then another girl confessed
    her feelings to me.
[00:17] Naoya
    What do I do?
[00:24] Naoya
    I started going out with a girl recently.
[00:27] Naoya
    I confessed my feelings to Saki-chan,
    who I've been close to since we were kids.
[00:32] Naoya
    She accepted, and now we're going steady.
[00:35] Saki
    Bam!
[00:39] Naoya
    I'm the happiest person on Earth.
[00:48] Shino
    Sakisaki!
[00:50] Shino
    Come on, let's go.
[00:51] Saki
    Okay.
[00:52] Saki
    I'm headed off to my club.
[00:54] Naoya
    Okay.
[00:55] Naoya
    I'll wait until you're done, Saki-chan.
[00:58] Saki
    You can go on ahead for once.
[01:01] Saki
    But no cheating on me.
[01:05] Naoya
    S-Saki-chan!
[01:10] Naoya
    Did you think I would do such a thing?
[01:15] Saki
    Naoya?
[01:17] Naoya
    I'm sorry for making you worry!
[01:22] Naoya
    I'll love you even more so you'll never
    have to worry about me cheating on you!
[01:26] Saki
    Huh? Wait...
[01:27] Saki
    H-H-Hey!
[01:29] Saki
    Let me go!
[01:29] Naoya
    I love you, Saki-chan!
[01:32] Saki
    Let me go!
[01:34] Naoya
    Saki-chan!
[01:37] Naoya
    Feel my love!
[01:38] Saki
    I feel it!
[01:39] ---
    You feel it?
[01:39] Saki
    I feel it!
[01:42] Saki
    I get it! Jeez!
[01:45] Saki
    Save that for when we're alone!
[01:48] Saki
    Sheesh, Naoya...
[01:50] Saki
    You're beyond sincere. You're just weird.
[01:53] Saki
    You can't even take a joke.
[01:55] Naoya
    A-Am I that weird?
[01:58] Saki
    You're pretty damn weird!
[02:00] Naoya
    How?
[02:01] Saki
    Like what you did to me just now!
[02:04] Naoya
    I... I see.
[02:06] Naoya
    I never knew.
[02:07] Naoya
    But I want to be true to my feelings.
[02:10] Naoya
    I can't help but tell someone
    I love them when I do.
[02:12] Saki
    Wh-What a pain.
[02:16] Naoya
    I mean...
[02:18] Naoya
    I confessed to you once a month
    since we were in first grade.
[02:20] Naoya
    Now, in high school, you finally said yes.
[02:23] Naoya
    Of course I'm going to cherish you!
[02:25] Saki
    That was way too much for
    elementary and middle school me!
[02:28] Naoya
    But now you embrace my feelings for you!
[02:32] Saki
    Oh, damn it!
[02:36] Saki
    Bring it on!
[02:39] Saki
    Anyway, I'm going now.
[02:43] Naoya
    Saki-chan!
[02:43] Saki
    What?
[02:45] Naoya
    You were as cute as ever today!

[05:08] Nagisa
    Sorry, I haven't even introduced myself.
[05:11] Naoya
    Wait... What?
[05:13] Nagisa
    Hello, I'm Minase Nagisa. I'm a first-year.
[05:17] Nagisa
    Nice to meet you.
[05:18] Naoya
    Uh, yeah.
[05:20] Nagisa
    Um...
[05:21] Nagisa
    What do you think of me, looks-wise?
[05:24] Naoya
    Huh? W-Well, if I had to be honest...
[05:33] Naoya
    You're cute as hell.
[05:36] Nagisa
    Thank you!
[05:37] Nagisa
    I worked so hard these past
    few months for this day.
[05:40] Naoya
    Three months?
[05:42] Nagisa
    Four hours of working out,
    jogging, and yoga every day.
[05:45] Nagisa
    Working on myself for three
    hours before bed every night.
[05:48] Naoya
    You're such a hard worker!
[05:50] Nagisa
    I wanted to be in my best
    condition for my confession.
[05:53] Naoya
    What an upright person you are!
[05:56] Nagisa
    They say the best way to a man's
    heart is through his stomach, so...
[06:01] Nagisa
    I practiced cooking for eight hours, too.
[06:04] Naoya
    Aren't you worried about your health?!
[06:06] Naoya
    You have to take care of your own life!
[06:09] Nagisa
    I-I'm fine.
[06:11] Naoya
    Really?
[06:12] Nagisa
    Y-Yes.
[06:13] Nagisa
    I'd like you to try it.
[06:24] Naoya
    Delicious.
[06:26] Naoya
    But you shouldn't put
    yourself out for this.
[06:27] Nagisa
    No, it was for your sake.
[06:30] Nagisa
    In fact, I had fun doing it.
[06:32] Nagisa
    Besides, I think a big part of why it
    tastes good is the Matsusaka beef,
[06:36] ---
    Would you like a bag for this?
[06:37] ---
    lobster, and foie gras that I bought
     with money from my part-time job.
[06:38] ---
    What a long day.

    B-But that's so commendable.
[06:49] Nagisa
    So, um...
[06:51] Nagisa
    Do I seem attractive to you?
[06:55] Naoya
    Of course you do!
[06:57] Naoya
    You're attractive as hell!
[07:00] Nagisa
    Th-Thank goodness.
[07:05] Nagisa
    Then...
[07:07] Nagisa
    Would you please go out with me?
[07:22] Nagisa
    Am I not good enough?
[07:28] Naoya
    Th-That's not true!
[07:31] Naoya
    I bet I'd be super happy
    if I could go out with you.
[07:35] Naoya
    But...
[07:43] Naoya
    I already have a girlfriend.
[07:48] Nagisa
    I guess... I should have expected that.
[07:54] Nagisa
    But I'm not going to give up just
    because I got turned down once.
[08:02] Nagisa
    I'll come confess to you again.
[08:08] Nagisa
    I-I'll talk to you later.
[08:20] Naoya
    It's true that I have a girlfriend.
[08:23] Naoya
    I love her, and I want
    to treasure her forever.
[08:28] Nagisa
    Naoya-kun?
[08:30] Naoya
    But it's true that I think you're attractive.
[08:34] Naoya
    So I want you in my life.
[08:39] Naoya
    I don't want to turn you down.
[08:42] Naoya
    But I can't betray my girlfriend!
[08:44] Naoya
    So if it isn't too outrageous to ask...
[08:50] Naoya
    Can I date both of you?
[08:51] Naoya
    Could you come with me to ask my girlfriend?
[08:55] Nagisa
    Eh?
[08:57] Naoya
    I'm sorry this is the
    only thing I can propose.
[09:00] ---
    Uh... Um...
[09:12] Nagisa
    Let's go give it a try.
[09:14] Naoya
    Thank you.

    Go, Sakisaki!
[09:21] Saki
    Attack!
[09:24] Saki
    Man, I'm beat.
[09:28] Shino
    You killed it again, though.
[09:31] Naoya
    Saki-chan!
[09:35] Saki
    Naoya?
[09:37] Naoya
    Can I talk to you for a second?
[09:40] Shino
    You two sure are attached at the hip.
[09:43] Saki
    Wha... Shino!
[09:45] Shino
    I don't want to get in the way.
    I'll see you later.
[09:48] Saki
    What's up? What's the big deal?
[09:52] Naoya
    It's about this girl.
[09:55] Nagisa
    N-Nice to meet you.
[10:02] Nagisa
    I'm Minase Nagisa.
[10:08] Saki
    Sh-She's so cute!
[10:11] Saki
    Who is this girl? Oh my God, she's so cute!
[10:13] Saki
    Let's go hang out.
[10:15] Saki
    Okay? Can we?
[10:16] Naoya
    But there's something important
    we need to talk about.
[10:18] Saki
    How are we supposed to talk about anything
    if we don't even know each other?
[10:23] Naoya
    Good point.
[10:25] Saki
    Ta-da!
[10:26] Saki
    Karaoke!
[10:28] Saki
    Whoo!
[10:34] Nagisa
    S-Sorry. I'm not a good singer.
[10:38] Saki
    You're so cute when you're embarrassed.
[10:41] Saki
    Sports!
[10:42] Saki
    Go!
[10:43] ---
    Right!
[10:47] Nagisa
    Your underwear's cute, too.
[10:48] Saki
    Hey!
[10:53] Saki
    This is too good!
[10:56] Saki
    I want to marry you!
[10:58] Nagisa
    I'm glad it's to your liking.
[11:01] Naoya
    Saki-chan, what do you think of Minase-san?
[11:04] Saki
    Well...
[11:07] Saki
    Honestly, I want to go out with her!
[11:10] Naoya
    I know that feeling.
[11:13] Saki
    Hold on a minute.
[11:14] Saki
    You have me, Naoya.
[11:16] Naoya
    I do.
[11:22] Saki
    What's wrong?
[11:30] Naoya
    So I want to date both of you.
[11:36] Saki
    Huh?
[11:39] Saki
    Huh? What?
[11:41] Saki
    Both of us?
[11:42] Naoya
    The truth is, Minase-san just
    confessed to me earlier today.
[11:46] Naoya
    The more I got to know her,
    the more attracted I became.
[11:48] Naoya
    Honestly, I'm infatuated.
[11:50] Naoya
    I can't...
[11:53] Naoya
    I can't...
[11:55] Naoya
    I can't think of a solution besides
    going out with both of you!
[11:58] Naoya
    I can't think of a solution besides
    going out with both of you!

[12:00] Naoya
    I can't think of a solution besides
    going out with both of you!

[12:02] ---
    Wha?
[12:05] ---
    What?
[12:08] ---
    What?!
[12:10] Saki
    I don't quite understand.
[12:13] Naoya
    I can't bring myself to date
    both of you in secret.
[12:18] Naoya
    So with your approval,
[12:22] ---
    I would like to date both of you,
    honest and out in the open!
[12:35] Saki
    Did you seriously think I'd say yes?
[12:37] Naoya
    I-I want us to discuss this.
[12:40] Saki
    No way.
[12:42] Naoya
    I really do feel bad about this.
[12:46] Saki
    Then don't do it!
[12:49] Saki
    You have me! Isn't that good enough?!
[12:53] Naoya
    It was until yesterday.
[12:55] Saki
    I'll kill you.
[12:57] Nagisa
    Um...
[12:59] Nagisa
    Can we please avoid violence?
[13:00] Saki
    But you're okay with cheating?!
[13:03] Saki
    Actually, yeah!
[13:04] Saki
    How are you even okay with
    him dating two girls?
[13:08] Nagisa
    W-Well...
[13:10] Nagisa
    I can't imagine Naoya-kun
    would ever break up with you.
[13:14] Nagisa
    I'll only be rejected if I don't
    have him date both of us.
[13:19] Nagisa
    So I'm okay with it.
[13:20] Saki
    No way!
[13:22] Saki
    Are you serious?
[13:23] Saki
    What do you even like so much about him?
[13:26] Nagisa
    Naoya-kun is everything to me right now.
[13:30] Saki
    That much?
[13:33] Nagisa
    Saki-san...
[13:35] Nagisa
    Please let us both date him.
[13:37] Saki
    T-Too cute!
[13:39] Saki
    Please don't look at me like that!
[13:43] Saki
    One guy for one girl!
[13:45] Saki
    Isn't that common sense?
[13:47] Naoya
    But it's true that I'm
    attracted to Minase-san.
[13:51] Naoya
    So rejecting her and continuing
    to go out with you
[13:53] ---
    in the name of common
    sense would be dishonest.
[13:56] Naoya
    Both to myself and to you, Saki-chan.
[14:00] Naoya
    Lying and going out with two girls
    would both leave me with regrets.
[14:05] Naoya
    So I want to be honest to myself
    and try going out with both of you!
[14:08] Saki
    No.
[14:12] Naoya
    What might I do to increase the
    chances that you'll say yes?
[14:16] Saki
    No means no!
[14:21] Naoya
    There must be a good solution to this!
[14:23] Saki
    Enough!
[14:25] Naoya
    I won't spare any effort
    to make it a success!
[14:28] Saki
    No, thank you!
[14:30] Naoya
    Can we just try it?
[14:31] ---
    Oh, for—
[14:32] Nagisa
    Please!
[14:34] Nagisa
    I'll make snacks every day!
[14:37] Nagisa
    You'll always have plenty to eat.
[14:39] Naoya
    I'll take good care of you, Saki-chan.
[14:41] Naoya
    I'll give you 30,000 yen every month.
[14:43] Saki
    What?!
[14:44] Naoya
    I'll do anything in my power!
[14:46] Saki
    Why are you stripping?!
[14:49] Naoya
    I agree that it's selfish of me
    to want to date two girls.
[14:52] Naoya
    I wholly expect you to dump
    me right here and now.
[14:56] Saki
    Naoya...
[14:57] Naoya
    And I'm sure Minase-san would prefer
    if it were just me and her.
[15:02] Naoya
    Still, Minase-san, Saki-chan...
[15:08] ---
    I promise to make sure that, someday,
    you'll be glad you both dated me!
[15:15] Nagisa
    Naoya-kun...
[15:22] Saki
    Oh, hell.
[15:24] Saki
    Why don't you try making me say that,
     if you really think you can?
[15:30] Naoya
    Saki-chan...
[15:33] Saki
    I don't think you'll ever do it.
[15:35] Naoya
    Thank you.
[15:36] Naoya
    I'll do my best.
[15:38] Saki
    I already kind of hate you.
[15:41] Naoya
    I-I'll do what I can!
[15:43] Saki
    I... I should have thought this through.
SIGN    Girlfriend, Girlfriend
SIGN    I...
    I should have
     thought this
     through...
[15:48] Saki
    So what are we supposed to do now?
[15:51] Naoya
    For you two to be all right with
    both of you being my girlfriend,
[15:55] ---
    you'll have to get to know each other better.
[15:58] Saki
    There's nothing good that can come of this.
[16:01] Naoya
    I know!
[16:03] Naoya
    Let's live together at my
    place. The three of us.
[16:05] Saki
    What?!
[16:06] Naoya
    I don't live with my parents. It'll be okay.
[16:09] Saki
    Hell no!
[16:10] Nagisa
    I-I'd be okay with that.
[16:12] Nagisa
    I'll bring my stuff.
[16:13] ---
    Wai—
[16:14] Naoya
    I'll let your mom know, Saki-chan.
[16:15] Saki
    Huh?!
[16:17] Saki
    W-Wait!
[16:21] Saki
    Um...
[16:23] Saki
    Are we seriously going to live together?
[16:25] Nagisa
    It's like a dream!
[16:27] Naoya
    Okay, I'll prepare rooms for you two.
[16:30] Nagisa
    I'll prepare dinner, then.
[16:33] Naoya
    And, um... Saki-chan...
[16:36] Saki
    I don't mean to brag, but I'm
    terrible at doing chores.
[16:40] Naoya
    Of course. You can take a break.
[16:41] ---
    Yes, of course.
[16:42] Saki
    Really?!
[16:48] Saki
    Naoya, I want a snack.
[16:50] Nagisa
    Dinner's ready!
[16:54] Saki
    It smells so good.
[16:58] Saki
    Holy crap!
[17:00] Saki
    It's so good!
[17:02] Nagisa
    I'm so glad.
[17:03] Naoya
    The bath's ready, too.
[17:06] Saki
    You're so thoughtful.
[17:10] Saki
    This is so nice.
[17:13] Naoya
    Saki-chan, want me to rub your back?
[17:16] Saki
    You don't need to do that for me!
[17:23] Saki
    Well, I guess...
[17:25] Saki
    This might not be so bad.
[17:28] Saki
    Again?!
[17:31] Nagisa
    P-Pardon me.
[17:33] Nagisa
    Is it all right if we bathe together?
[17:35] Saki
    N-Nagisa-chan?!
[17:39] Saki
    T-Together?!
[17:40] Nagisa
    I'd like to talk with you.
[17:43] Nagisa
    May I?
[17:44] Saki
    I-I don't want to say no, but...
[17:47] Nagisa
    Thank you!
[17:49] Saki
    This is awkward.
[17:58] Saki
    Nagisa-chan's boobs are huge!
[18:01] Saki
    Her skin is so fair.
[18:03] Saki
    And so taut.
[18:06] Saki
    And her eyelashes are so long.
[18:11] Nagisa
    Saki-san...
[18:12] Saki
    Y-Yes?
[18:13] Nagisa
    Don't worry about me.
[18:15] Nagisa
    Please go ahead and sleep
    with Naoya-kun tonight.
[18:18] Saki
    Huh?
[18:19] Saki
    S-Sleep?
[18:20] Nagisa
    Y-You're both young.
[18:22] Nagisa
    Feel free to do it.
[18:27] Saki
    No, no!
[18:28] Saki
    We aren't doing it!
[18:30] Nagisa
    Why not?
[18:31] Nagisa
    I must be getting in your way right now...
[18:36] Nagisa
    But I want to make sure
    I don't do that too much.
[18:39] Saki
    No, um...
[18:41] Nagisa
    I'd feel bad if the two of you
    had to go out of your way for me.
[18:47] Saki
    I mean, how do I put this...
[18:51] Saki
    We haven't done anything like that yet.
[18:57] Nagisa
    Y-You haven't?!
[18:59] Nagisa
    I'm sorry, I got ahead of myself.
[19:01] Saki
    I-It's fine.
[19:03] Nagisa
    But you can go ahead and
    make out and stuff, too.
[19:08] Saki
    N-No, we haven't kissed
    or anything yet, either.
[19:17] Nagisa
    I didn't realize.
[19:20] Saki
    You seem kind of happy!
[19:22] Nagisa
    No, I didn't mean it that way...
[19:24] Saki
    Are you sure?
[19:27] Nagisa
    I really hadn't realized, though.
[19:30] Saki
    You do seem happy!
[19:31] Saki
    Like, you're cute, but...
[19:34] Saki
    It hasn't even been that long
    since we started going out.
[19:37] Saki
    And we've known each
    other since we were kids,
[19:39] Saki
    and Naoya's weirdly stuck-up.
[19:42] Nagisa
    I see.
[19:43] Saki
    I-It's not anything to rush, right?
[19:46] Nagisa
    Let's work hard on those kinds
    of things together, too, then.
[19:50] Saki
    O-Okay.
[20:04] Saki
    Naoya!
[20:07] Naoya
    S-Saki-chan?!
[20:10] Saki
    How far do you intend to
    take it with Nagisa-chan?!
[20:13] Naoya
    H-How far?
[20:15] Saki
    In terms of sexy stuff!
[20:19] Naoya
    Sexy stuff?!
[20:20] Saki
    W-Well?!
[20:28] Naoya
    S-Sorry...
[20:30] Naoya
    I do want to.
[20:33] Saki
    I knew it!
[20:35] Naoya
    No, sorry, if I'm even more honest, well...
[20:40] Naoya
    I'd like to do it with both of you...
    the three of us, together!
[20:48] Saki
    Th-Th-The three of us?!
[20:50] Saki
    Naoya, you pervert!
[20:52] Naoya
    I'm really sorry!
[20:53] Naoya
    Don't get me wrong, though.
[20:55] Naoya
    It's just a thought that came to my head.
[20:57] Naoya
    It wouldn't be fair of me to hide it.
[20:59] Saki
    It's how you're so open about
    it that makes you a pervert!
[21:02] Saki
    Nagisa-chan may be adorable,
[21:04] ---
    and her boobs may be huge,
    and she may have a nice body, and...
[21:11] Saki
    She gives me weird feelings,
    even as a woman!
[21:15] Saki
    But that just makes it
    even more unacceptable!
[21:18] Naoya
    I understand.
[21:19] Naoya
    This whole arrangement was
    my imposition to begin with.
[21:23] Naoya
    I can't ask you to do even
    more for me, Saki-chan.
[21:27] Saki
    Naoya...
[21:28] Naoya
    It's more important for the three of
    us to establish a good relationship
[21:32] ---
    than to do sexy things.
[21:34] Naoya
    I'll give up on a three****.
[21:38] Saki
    Don't say that out loud!
[21:40] Naoya
    So let's not do that kind
    of thing together.
[21:44] Nagisa
    I understand.
[21:45] Saki
    O-Okay.
[21:47] Saki
    I'm glad.
[21:48] Saki
    Huh?
[21:50] Saki
    W-Wait...
[21:53] Saki
    Does that mean you aren't doing
    anything with me, either?
[21:57] Naoya
    Yeah...
[21:58] Naoya
    I would be acting unfaithfully to
    Minase-san if I was only with you.
[22:03] Saki
    I-I see...
[22:07] Saki
    Indefinitely?
[22:08] ---
    Huh?
[22:09] Naoya
    Y-You want to do sexy things?!
[22:13] Naoya
    You definitely looked disappointed!
[22:16] Saki
    No! Th-That's...
[22:19] Naoya
    I'm sorry!
[22:20] Naoya
    You must be so curious about sex, Saki-chan.
[22:23] Saki
    N-No...
[22:24] Naoya
    I'm sorry to make you abstain!
[22:26] Saki
    I mean, no... that's...
[22:32] Saki
    That's not the point!

    If your boyfriend asks about dating

    C: Smack him!
[24:19] Nagisa
    You're already breaking the rules?!

    And lop it off!
[24:22] Nagisa
    Lop what off?!
[24:22] Naoya
    All right.
[24:23] Naoya
    If you insist, Saki-chan.
[24:24] Nagisa
    Please don't undress!
