**[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!

**[03:04] Nagisa**
U-Um...
**[03:09] Nagisa**
You're M-Mukai Naoya-kun, right?
**[03:15] Naoya**

**[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.

**[06:45] Naoya**
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.
**[09:15] Naoya**
All right. Let's go.

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!

A Girlfriend's Two Choices!
**[24:14] Naoya**
If your boyfriend asks about dating
someone else at the same time, do you...
**[24:16] Naoya**
A: Break up.
**[24:17] Naoya**
B: Allow it.
**[24:18] Saki**
C: Smack him!
**[24:19] Nagisa**
You're already breaking the rules?!
**[24:21] Saki**
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!
