**[00:01] Marin**
Whoa, wait...
**[00:02] Marin**
Oh, my god... Ohmigod!
**[00:04] Shinju**
Th-This is one of my favorites, too.
**[00:09] Marin**
This is super cute!
**[00:11] Marin**
You're literally an angel!
**[00:12] Marin**
Juju-sama, I just can't with you!
**[00:14] Marin**
You took all these photos,
right, Shinju-chan?
**[00:18] Shinju**
Yes...
**[00:19] Marin**
You're seriously amazing.
**[00:20] Marin**
I love the photos you take, Shinju-chan.
**[00:23] Shinju**
Th-Thank you...
**[00:25] Juju**
I just asked her to take my photos,
**[00:28] Juju**
but she's the one who created my account
and came up with my cosplay name.
**[00:31] Marin**
Huh...
**[00:33] Wakana**
Why is that?
**[00:35] Shinju**
Well...
**[00:37] Shinju**
My sister won't show anyone her photos.
**[00:40] Shinju**
I just wanted someone to see
these cute pictures of my sister,
**[00:45] Shinju**
so I asked her if it was
okay to make an account.
**[00:49] Shinju**
And then she got *so* many likes.

That's why you didn't
interact with anyone, huh?
**[01:08] Shinju**
Yes...
**[01:09] Juju**
I'm just cosplaying for myself.
**[01:12] Juju**
I don't care what other people think.
**[01:15] Shinju**
But, but...
**[01:16] Shinju**
You've got so many followers now!
**[01:18] Shinju**
Everyone thinks you're so cute.
**[01:20] Shinju**
It made me really happy.
**[01:23] Marin**
Shinju-chan.
**[01:25] Shinju**
Yes?
**[01:26] Marin**
You must really love Juju-sama!
**[01:29] Shinju**
Yes!
**[01:30] Shinju**
I love her so much!
**[01:36] Marin**
Juju-sama looks super happy.
**[01:39] Juju**
O-Oh, shut up.
***SIGN*** Episode 8
***SIGN*** Backlighting Is the Best
**[03:15] Shinju**
We're borrowing our father's
DSLR for our camera.
**[03:18] Marin**
It looks so cool!
**[03:20] Marin**
Is your dad a professional photographer?
**[03:22] Shinju**
No, photography is just his hobby.
**[03:25] Marin**
So mature!
**[03:26] Shinju**
This camera is great because you
don't have to change the lens!
**[03:31] Wakana**
Do you usually switch out lenses?
**[03:34] Shinju**
You can change them to fit your preferences.
***SIGN*** Fisheye Lens
***SIGN*** Normal Lens
***SIGN*** Telephoto Lens
**[03:36] Shinju**
If you change out the lens,
**[03:38] Shinju**
you get different results, even when
taking the same photo. It's a lot of fun!
**[03:41] Wakana**
Question.
**[03:42] Shinju**
Uh, yes? G-Gojo-san...
**[03:44] Wakana**
Is there a big difference compared to
shooting with a smartphone?
**[03:48] Shinju**
Yes.
**[03:49] Shinju**
The camera gives you a higher resolution
and there's so much more you can do.
**[03:53] Shinju**
For example, if you take a photo
with flowers in the background...
**[03:56] Shinju**
You can blur the background to
make the cosplayer stand out more.
**[04:01] Shinju**
Or you can blur the foreground and
make the whole photo look soft.
**[04:05] Shinju**
If you play with the shutter speed,
**[04:07] Shinju**
you can take a photo with falling
petals without them being blurry.
**[04:10] Wakana**
That's amazing!
**[04:11] Marin**
Aw, man...
**[04:12] Marin**
That sounds like so much fun.
**[04:14] Shinju**
Yes!
**[04:15] Shinju**
Whenever a picture turns out how I want,
**[04:16] Shinju**
or I coincidentally get a great expression,
**[04:18] Shinju**
it makes me so happy.
**[04:21] Shinju**
It makes me want to become better
so I can take even better photos.
**[04:26] Marin**
Plus, you're taking pics of *the* Juju-sama!
**[04:28] Marin**
You must be hyped!
**[04:29] Shinju**
Yes.
**[04:30] Marin**
By the way, you don't cosplay, Shinju-chan?
**[04:35] Marin**
Doesn't seeing so many cosplayers
make you want to try it?
**[04:39] Marin**
And you're like, "They're so cute!
That seems super fun!"
**[04:41] Marin**
"So maybe I'll try it, too," yeah?
**[04:46] Shinju**
Me...?
**[04:48] Juju**
Did you want to cosplay, too?
**[04:51] Shinju**
No...
**[04:53] Shinju**
Not at all.
**[04:53] Shinju**
It doesn't make me want to do it.
**[04:55] Shinju**
I just like taking pictures of my sister.
**[04:57] Shinju**
I'm not going to cosplay...
**[05:00] Marin**
Oh, I see.
**[05:01] Shinju**
Yes.
**[05:03] Marin**
Hey, Shinju-chan. Can I touch your camera?
**[05:06] Shinju**
Sure.
**[05:07] Marin**
Cameras are so cool!
**[05:09] Marin**
I wanna take a photo with a neat
background bokeh effect!
**[05:13] Marin**
I'm totally saving up so I can buy one.
**[05:15] Wakana**
How much do DSLRs cost?
***SIGN*** Tsaica

**[05:28] Wakana**
Lens sold separately?!
**[05:31] Marin**
Dude, you're so loud!
**[05:33] Juju**
If you add a tripod, flash, and the
rest of the equipment, it costs even more.
***SIGN*** 10,000 Yen
**[05:40] Marin**
Your mind's totally blown, Gojo-kun.
**[05:43] Wakana**
I can't believe the cameras everyone had at
the other day's event were so expensive...
**[05:49] Marin**
Crazy, am I right?
**[05:51] Marin**
Well, I guess we'll just have to keep
using our smartphones until I save up.
**[05:55] Wakana**
*Ah...*
**[05:55] Wakana**
* Kitagawa-san's not even*
* hesitating on buying one.*
**[05:59] Juju**
There are all kinds of cameras, so make
sure you buy one that's in your budget.
**[06:04] Juju**
By the way, we're going to
scout for shooting locations,
**[06:05] Employee**
Thank you very much.
**[06:07] Juju**
but do you two want to come along?
**[06:09] Juju**
It's the first time I'm renting a studio,
**[06:11] Juju**
so I figured I should
check out my options first.
**[06:13] Marin**
Yeah, totally! I definitely wanna go!
**[06:16] Marin**
I'm in!
**[06:17] Wakana**
I'd love to come along, as well.
**[06:19] Juju**
Okay, then let's meet up at
Shim-Misato Station this weekend.
**[06:23] Marin**
Okay!
**[06:25] Juju**
The place we're going...
**[06:27] Juju**
is a studio studio set up
in an abandoned hospital.
**[06:31] Wakana**
I never knew there were studios like this.
**[06:33] Marin**
This is totally my first time
at an abandoned building.
**[06:36] Shinju**
Mine, too!
**[06:37] Shinju**
I was so excited for today...
**[06:40] Shinju**
I could barely fall asleep last night!
**[06:43] Marin**
Whoa, holy crap! This place rules!
**[06:47] Shinju**
Oh, so it's this kind of place...
**[06:48] Wakana**
You know...
**[06:49] Marin**
Dude, this place is way gloomier
than I thought it'd be!
**[06:50] Wakana**
This is perfect for the abandoned
hospital where Black Lily runs
**[06:52] Wakana**
after she's defeated by
Princess Daisy's straight right.
**[06:55] Juju**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Mumble Mumble Mumble Mumble Mumble
**[06:57] Juju**
It's a depressing development,
**[06:58] Juju**
but I really like the scene where
Shion starts to question herself.
**[07:03] Juju**
More importantly, I guess you
really did watch the whole thing.
**[07:06] Marin**
Gojo-kun!
**[07:07] Marin**
We're gonna take a look upstairs!
**[07:09] Wakana**
All right.
**[07:10] Marin**
Let's go, Shinju-chan!
**[07:11] Shinju**
Yes!
**[07:11] Wakana**
It has a certain atmosphere, doesn't it?
**[07:17] Wakana**
Is something wrong?
**[07:19] Juju**
N-No...
**[07:23] Wakana**
Inui-san, could it be...
**[07:25] Wakana**
Do places like this make you uncomfortable?
**[07:28] Juju**
Th-That's not true at all.
**[07:30] Juju**
Wh-What are you talking about?
**[07:31] Juju**
Come on! Let's go!
**[07:33] Wakana**
*Ah, so I was right...*
**[07:35] Marin**
Hm... I mean, it's decent...
**[07:41] Marin**
Isn't it a bit too dark, though?
**[07:44] Shinju**
We have a flash, so we'll be fine.
**[07:46] Marin**
You're, like, invincible!
**[07:48] Shinju**
Flashes and reflectors can be
used for outdoor shoots, too,
**[07:52] Shinju**
so they're great to have.
**[07:53] Marin**
Even if it's sunny outside?
**[07:55] Shinju**
Yes!
**[08:01] Shinju**
When it's nice outside, it's hard to keep
your eyes open because it's too bright,
**[08:05] Shinju**
so you make it your backlighting.
**[08:07] Shinju**
Your skin will look nicer, too.
**[08:10] Shinju**
But then, your face gets darker...
**[08:13] Marin**
Aha!
**[08:14] Marin**
So then you use the reflectors
to brighten up your face!
**[08:16] Shinju**
Yes!
**[08:17] Shinju**
It makes wigs shine and
improves your complexion, too.
**[08:21] Marin**
That's super amazing! I'll pass
that along to Gojo-kun, too!
**[08:24] Shinju**
Backlighting is the best.
***SIGN*** X-Ray Room
**[08:28] Marin**
Looks like it's gonna rain.
**[08:30] Shinju**
Yes...
**[08:33] Marin**
Man, I'd love to do a shoot somewhere
we can get some awesome pics.
**[08:37] Marin**
Actually, where *do* you guys
go to take outdoor pics?
**[08:41] Shinju**
Our yard...
**[08:47] Wakana**
It's really coming down...
**[08:53] Wakana**
Are you all right?
**[08:58] Wakana**
Inui-san?
**[08:59] Juju**
I-I-I'm fine. I'm just a little tired.
**[09:02] Wakana**
*Yeah, she's not fine at all.*
**[09:04] Wakana**
Do you want to wait at the entrance?
**[09:06] Juju**
No!
**[09:08] Juju**
I'm going to cosplay Black Lily.
**[09:12] Juju**
I have to properly see what
this place looks like...
**[09:14] Juju**
or I won't be able to get good pictures.
**[09:19] Wakana**
I can go look for you,
**[09:21] Wakana**
so please wait at the entrance.
**[09:23] Juju**
Hey! I'll do this myself!
**[09:26] Wakana**
But you're pushing yourself, aren't you?
**[09:30] Wakana**
Is there a reason?
**[09:36] Juju**
Do you...
**[09:38] Juju**
have any dreams for the future?
**[09:40] Wakana**
Yes.
**[09:41] Wakana**
To become a hina doll kashirashi.
**[09:44] Wakana**
A job where you make the dolls' faces.
**[09:47] Juju**
That's a lovely dream.
**[09:49] Juju**
You'd better make sure it comes true.
**[09:52] Juju**
In my case...
**[09:57] Juju**
I wanted to become a magical girl.
**[10:02] Juju**
They're just so strong, dazzling, and cool,
**[10:05] Juju**
while wearing cute, frilly, little outfits.
**[10:09] Juju**
I looked up to magical girls
so much when I was little.
**[10:12] Juju**
I was obsessed.
**[10:14] Juju**
I seriously wanted to become
one when I got older.
**[10:18] Juju**
But once you get into elementary
school, you figure it out.
***SIGN*** Flower Princess Blaze!!
**[10:22] Juju**
It's all make-believe.
**[10:25] Juju**
And no matter how much I worked as
hard like a magical girl, or prayed...
**[10:29] Juju**
I knew my dream would never come true.
**[10:33] Juju**
But then, when I was in middle school...
**[10:38] Juju**
I found out you could buy the outfits.
**[10:46] Juju**
I didn't have any prior knowledge, so
I didn't even know how to style the wig.
**[10:50] Juju**
I didn't have any makeup on,
and the outfit was too big for me.
**[10:56] Juju**
My first cosplay was just awful...
**[11:03] Juju**
But still... I was so, so happy.
**[11:08] Juju**
Even if I have to push myself,
even if it's all make believe...
**[11:11] Juju**
I want to make my own dream come true.
**[11:18] Wakana**
Inui-san.
**[11:19] Juju**
What?
**[11:20] Wakana**
Why did you ask me to make such
an important outfit for you?
**[11:25] Wakana**
There are so many people better than me.
**[11:27] Wakana**
You should ask someone else.
**[11:30] Wakana**
Why did you choose me?
**[11:34] Wakana**
When I saw Marin Kitagawa's photos...
**[11:38] Juju**
I was jealous.
**[11:42] Juju**
I know how pathetic being jealous is...
**[11:45] Juju**
But I was so horribly envious,
I didn't know what to do.
**[11:49] Juju**
I thought, "I also want to wear
an outfit made by this person."
**[11:53] Juju**
It had to be them.
**[11:59] Juju**
You're right. There are plenty of
people who can make outfits.
**[12:03] Juju**
But...
**[12:05] Juju**
I'm sorry.
**[12:06] Juju**
I can't explain this very well.
**[12:08] Juju**
It's not exactly logical.
**[12:11] Juju**
I think the best way to describe it is...
**[12:14] Juju**
Seeing the outfit you made
was love at first sight.
**[12:18] Juju**
To be honest, I'm surprised
at myself for being jealous.
**[12:23] Juju**
But jealousy's something you
feel about things that matter.
**[12:27] (Flashback) Gramps**
Ain't they beauties?
**[12:30] (Flashback) Gramps**
Your ol' gramps and his friends
made these hina dolls.
**[12:33] (Flashback) Gramps**
Ain't that amazing?
**[12:35] (Flashback) Young Wakana**
Uh-huh. Wow...
**[12:38] (Flashback) Young Wakana**
They're so pretty.
**[12:41] (Flashback) Young Wakana**
She's the most beautiful
thing in the world...
**[12:47] (Flashback) Gramps**
The most beautiful in the world, eh?
**[12:51] (Flashback) Gramps**
Out of all the doll shops out there,
**[12:53] (Flashback) Gramps**
we're doin' everything we
can to get these beauties
**[12:55] (Flashback) Gramps**
to catch the eyes of customers,
so they'll think these are the best there are.
**[12:58] (Flashback) Gramps**
So hearin' you say they're the best
makes your Gramps really happy.
**[13:05] (Flashback) Young Wakana**
What does "catch the eyes" mean?
**[13:07] (Flashback) Gramps**
Hm... How do I put this?
**[13:12] (Flashback) Gramps**
Basically, we want people to experience
love at first sight with 'em.
**[13:16] (Flashback) Young Wakana**
Me, too...
**[13:19] (Flashback) Young Wakana**
When I get older, I want
to make hina dolls, too.
**[13:24] (Flashback) Young Wakana**
I want to be like you, Gramps.
**[13:31] (Flashback) Gramps**
With a little bit of practice,
you'll be just like your Gramps.
**[13:43] Juju**
Uh?!
**[13:45] Wakana**
Gramps...
**[13:46] Juju**
Uh, what? Wait, what?
**[13:48] Juju**
Why the heck are you crying?!
**[13:49] Juju**
What's your deal?
**[13:50] Juju**
What?! What?! Wh-What the heck is going on?!
**[13:54] Juju**
Say something, damn it!
**[13:58] Wakana**
Fank you sho much...
**[14:01] Wakana**
I just now... realized how
happy Gramps was back then!
**[14:07] Wakana**
I never imagined it was something like this.
**[14:10] Wakana**
I promise... I absolutely promise
that I'll do my best, so you'll...

**[14:26] Marin**

**[14:28] Marin**
Dude, the thunder's crazy
out there. You guys good?
**[14:28] Wakana**
Are you okay, Inui-san?!
***SIGN*** Final Exams
**[14:32] Students**
We're done!
**[14:37] Marin**
Gojo-kun!
**[14:39] Marin**
Let's go to the beach!
**[14:41] Marin**
Like, right now!
**[14:44] Wakana**
Huh?
**[14:47] Marin**
Swimming season hasn't started yet and there's
no one around, so this is the best, am I right?
**[14:58] Marin**
We've basically got the
whole place to ourselves.
**[15:01] Wakana**
*We're actually here...*
**[15:05] Wakana**
Um...
**[15:06] Wakana**
Did we come here today to take some photos?
**[15:09] Wakana**
During our location hunt, you said you
wanted to try taking some backlit photos.
**[15:13] Wakana**
Somewhere to take flattering pics.
**[15:17] Marin**
Huh?
**[15:18] Wakana**
Huh?
**[15:20] Marin**
Nah, that's not it at all.
**[15:22] Marin**
We're done with finals, right?
**[15:24] Wakana**
Right.
**[15:25] Marin**
And it's July, right?
**[15:27] Marin**
And it's summer, right?
**[15:30] Marin**
"We headin' to the beach!"
**[15:32] Marin**
That's all.
**[15:34] Marin**
Doesn't going to the beach in your uniform
just scream the power of youth?!
**[15:37] Marin**
This is epic!
**[15:40] Wakana**
* That's right... This is*
* how Kitagawa-san is...*
**[15:44] Wakana**
*She's incredibly proactive...*
**[15:45] Marin**
Definitely eating from this place again.
**[15:47] Marin**
Gojo-kun, could you give me some fries?
**[15:49] Wakana**
Sure...
**[15:50] Marin**
French fries, French fries, yay!
**[15:53] Marin**
Ahh...
**[15:54] Wakana**
Huh?!
**[15:57] Marin**
Wait...
**[15:59] Marin**
Hey!
**[16:00] Marin**
My burger!
**[16:08] Marin**
That bird's still following us.
**[16:10] Wakana**
Should we go somewhere else to eat?
**[16:13] Marin**
Nah, we came all the way here.
**[16:16] Marin**
You wanna have bubble tea
while looking at the ocean?
**[16:18] Marin**
We even brought a mat with us.
**[16:21] Marin**
We can figure out what to do if that
bird steals our food again later.
**[16:29] Wakana**
All right.
**[16:31] Marin**
Gojo-kun?
**[16:33] Wakana**
Please give up on the French fries!
**[16:39] Wakana**
Let's make a break for it!
**[16:42] Wakana**
We still have one more burger!
**[16:48] Wakana**
Oh, no. That was probably littering...
**[16:53] Marin**
Let's go!
**[16:55] Marin**
Bye-bye, Mr. Ham*bird*glar!
**[17:01] Wakana**
Here you go.
**[17:02] Marin**
But that's yours, Gojo-kun. Are you sure?
**[17:04] Wakana**
Yes.
**[17:06] Marin**
Thank you...
**[17:12] Marin**
Mm.
**[17:14] Marin**
It's super good.
**[17:16] Wakana**
Thank you.
**[17:19] Wakana**
I never knew whitebait was good on burgers.
**[17:22] Marin**
I know, right?
**[17:29] Marin**
Yo, this bubble tea is bomb.
**[17:31] Marin**
Want a sip, Gojo-kun?
**[17:32] Wakana**
Huh?
**[17:33] Wakana**
No, that's all right.
**[17:35] Marin**
Yeah?
**[17:46] Marin**
The breeze feels so nice.
**[17:51] Wakana**
Yes.
**[17:54] Marin**
All right, I'm going in.
**[17:57] Marin**
Hang onto this for me.
**[17:59] Wakana**
Huh? Wait, you're going to swim?
**[18:01] Marin**
'Course not! I'm just gonna soak my feet!
**[18:04] Marin**
I decided this spur-of-the-moment,
so I didn't bring a swimsuit, either!
**[18:06] Marin**
Here I go!
**[18:09] Marin**
It's so cold! It feels awesome!
**[18:13] Wakana**
*What a free spirit...*
**[18:18] Marin**
Oh, man!
**[18:19] Marin**
Dude! I caught some seaweed!
**[18:22] Marin**
Do you see this stuff? It's hilarious!
**[18:25] Marin**
Look, Gojo-kun, look!
**[18:28] Wakana**
Oh, I am...
**[18:29] Marin**
Gojo-kun, get in here, my dude!
**[18:31] Marin**
It's like, the best thing ever!
**[18:34] Wakana**
Uh, okay!
**[18:40] Marin**
Hurry, hurry!
**[18:43] Wakana**
One moment... please.
**[18:58] Wakana**
Whoa, a wave.
**[18:59] Wakana**
It really is cold.
**[19:01] Wakana**
Wow...
**[19:03] Wakana**
Um, my feet seem to be
sinking into the sand?!
**[19:06] Marin**
You're way too freaked out.
**[19:08] Marin**
It's like you've never been to the beach.
**[19:10] Wakana**
Uh, it is...
**[19:11] Marin**
Huh?
**[19:12] Marin**
Wait, really?
**[19:14] Marin**
No way... Then again, I guess
Saitama's pretty landlocked.
**[19:17] Wakana**
Er, that's not it, exactly.
**[19:21] Wakana**
Ever since I was little, the way
I had fun was staring at hina dolls
**[19:25] Wakana**
and practicing how to draw the faces.
**[19:31] Wakana**
That's all I ever did, so I never
thought of doing anything else.
**[19:37] Wakana**
As a result, there are a lot
of places I've never been.
**[19:42] Wakana**
Gramps told me that I should
observe a lot of things.
**[19:48] Wakana**
He was right.
**[19:50] Wakana**
This is nothing like what
I've seen on TV or in photos.
**[19:55] Wakana**
The beach is very nice.
**[20:00] Wakana**
It's beautiful.
**[20:11] Marin**
Then... we should go to all
sorts of places together!
**[20:16] Marin**
I-It's almost summer vacation, right?
**[20:18] Marin**
I'll invite you everywhere!
**[20:21] Marin**
So let's go... J-Just the two of us!
**[20:27] Wakana**
Are you sure?
**[20:28] Wakana**
I would love to!
**[20:30] Wakana**
That makes me really happy.
**[20:35] Marin**
Y-You know... I'm getting a little thirsty...
**[20:39] Marin**
I'm gonna have some more tea.
**[20:41] Wakana**
Okay.
**[20:49] Marin**
*I-I totally just blurted, "Just the two of us!"*
**[20:54] Marin**
*Oh, my god! Oh my freakin' God! Ohmigod!*
**[20:56] Marin**
*I'd be* so *embarrassed if he saw how red
my face was! Like, I'd literally die!*
**[21:00] Marin**
*Hold up.*
**[21:01] Marin**
* This means I'm gonna see*
* him all summer break.*
**[21:04] Marin**
*Whoa, I literally can't...*
**[21:06] Marin**
*Holy crap.*
**[21:28] Marin**
Wow...
**[21:30] Marin**
She wasn't joking.
**[21:33] Marin**
He looks super amazing.
**[21:40] Marin**
Uh, dude?!
**[21:41] Marin**
Gojo-kun?!
**[21:43] Wakana**
My body... My whole body's
covered in seaweed!
**[21:46] Wakana**
It's all slippery! And slimy!
**[21:50] Marin**
Gojo-kun, are you okay?!
**[21:52] Marin**
What the heck are you doing?!
**[21:53] Wakana**
I-I tried to go a bit further,
and I slipped on some seaweed.
**[21:58] Marin**
You're totally soaked!
**[22:00] Wakana**
Oh, no...
**[22:00] Wakana**
How can I go home like this?
**[22:02] Marin**
Oh, you'll dry off by then... I think!
