[00:30] Maru
    Hey, uh... you're Kachi-san, right?
[00:34] Kachi
    You're... Maru-kun, wasn't it?
[00:38] Maru
    Huh? Uh, yeah... Maru Sueharu.
[00:41] Maru
    You know my name?
[00:42] Shiro
    I know the names and faces of
    basically everyone in my class.
[00:47] Maru
    Oh, I shouldn't be surprised.
[00:49] Shiro
    So what did you want?
[00:51] Shiro
    Or were you talking to me without
    having anything to say?
[00:54] Shiro
    You must really take me for a fool.
[00:56] Maru
    U-Um...
[00:58] Maru
    I read your novel, Kachi-san!
[01:02] Shiro
    My novel?
[01:03] Maru
    Yeah, yours.
[01:07] Shiro
    Would you mind telling me
    what you thought of it?
[01:13] Maru
    Is the moment you fall in
    love easily recognizable?
[01:17] Maru
    Of course, people with a lot of experience
    in relationships might say it is.
[01:25] Maru
    But to be honest,
[01:27] Maru
    I've been wondering if I'm just
    telling myself that I could recognize it.
[01:33] Maru
    It was really good! It moved my heart!
[01:40] Shiro
    Thank you.
[01:42] Shiro
    It truly makes me happy
    to hear that from you.
[01:45] Shiro
    I'm glad I worked so hard
    to get to this point.
[01:51] Maru
    Love isn't something you fall into.
[01:53] Maru
    It spreads all over your body,
    eating away at it.
[01:59] Maru
    In winter of my first year of high school,
[02:01] Maru
    I fell victim to love's poison.

    Bouncing between seven girls
    is getting to be a hassle.
[02:39] Tetsu
    I should probably narrow
    it down to one soon.
[02:42] Maru
    Didn't everyone hate you after you got
    caught three-timing before summer?
[02:46] Tetsu
    Don't be dumb. Obviously, they were
    all from different schools.
[02:49] Tetsu
    After all, to this school's girls,
    I'm lower than trash in the hierarchy.
[02:54] Tetsu
    For instance...
[03:00] Tetsu
    See?
[03:01] Maru
    Your mental fortitude amazes me.
[03:06] Maru
    So if you're deciding at the
    confession festival, who's it gonna be?
[03:11] Tetsu
    Kachi Shirokusa.
[03:15] Tetsu
    What would you do if I picked her?
[03:18] Maru
    You are wrong. I do not care at all.
[03:21] Tetsu
    Huh? What'd you say?
[03:23] Tetsu
    Could you not react like that?
[03:25] Tetsu
    Even I'm embarrassed by your desperation.
[03:28] Maru
    I just decided that I'm gonna kill you!
[03:31] Tetsu
    Ow, ow! Dude, you're actually serious!
[03:34] Tetsu
    Don't get so bent out of—ow, ow, ow!
[03:37] Tetsu
    Oh, Kachi...
[03:39] Maru
    I'm not falling for that!
[03:45] Maru
    Huh?
[03:47] Shiro
    Did you need me for something?
[03:49] Maru
    Er... huh?
[03:50] Maru
    What are you doing here?
[03:52] Shiro
    This is our classroom.
    Why wouldn't I be here?
[03:56] Maru
    Yeah, but... I mean...
[03:59] Maru
    Don't you usually eat with
    Mine in the cafeteria?
[04:02] Maru
    Meiko had other things to do.
[04:04] Maru
    She said she'll be back soon, though.
[04:06] Maru
    Oh, I see.
[04:08] Guy
    What size do you think she is here?
[04:10] Guy
    D... wait, maybe E?
[04:11] Guy
    Man, if only we could see the
    lines a little better...
[04:14] Guy
    Looking at the pin-up of
    Kachi that came out today?
[04:17] Shiro
    I hate dirty-minded people.
[04:22] Shiro
    What scum.
[04:23] Shiro
    Maybe you should all just die out.
[04:28] Tetsu
    Damn. RIP.
[04:30] Maru
    I'd say it's their own
    fault for looking at that.
[04:34] Tetsu
    Let me give you some advice as your friend.
[04:36] Tetsu
    She's out of your league, man.
[04:39] Maru
    Huh?
[04:40] Tetsu
    She's smart, she's athletic,
    her debut work won the Akutami Award,
SIGN    Go get it back by the end
     of the day if you want
SIGN    I'll be taking that.
    I'll leave it with
    the teacher
[04:44] Tetsu
    and she got her own pin-up,
    making her famous nationwide.
[04:47] Tetsu
    When she talks in that aloof tone,
    she's not trying to impress anyone.
[04:49] Tetsu
    She's super popular on TV, too.
[04:51] Tetsu
    Take my advice and just give up.
[04:54] Maru
    Kachi and I actually get along pretty well.
[04:57] Tetsu
    Huh?
[04:58] Maru
    I talked to her once last winter.
[05:01] Maru
    We realized we live near each other,
    and we started talking now and then.
[05:05] Tetsu
    Oh? And that's how you fell for her?
[05:07] Maru
    No!
[05:08] Maru
    Kachi's not how she seems on the outside.
[05:11] Maru
    She's, like... cheerful, even innocent!
[05:14] Tetsu
    Come back to reality, please.
[05:18] Girl
    Wow, that looks nice!
[05:20] Girl
    I've never seen such
    perfectly organized notes!
[05:24] Girl
    I'm gonna copy them.
[05:36] Shiro
    I'm sorry. The notes are gone now.
[05:40] Shiro
    But they were mine, so that's
    not your problem, right?
[05:42] Shiro
    Or are you a parasite that just wants to
    lick the sweet nectar off of everyone else?
[05:49] Girl
    This is stupid!

    Let me help you, Shirokusa-san.

[06:33] Tetsu
    You know, if you want a girlfriend,
[06:35] Tetsu
    why don't you just ask Shida-chan?
[06:39] Maru
    Ow!
[06:44] Tetsu
    Shida-chan already looks out for you.
[06:47] Tetsu
    If you asked her sincerely,
    she might actually say yes.
[06:50] Maru
    No... Kuroha's not really...
[06:53] Tetsu
    Come to think of it, Shida-chan didn't
    come to talk to you at lunch today.
[06:58] Tetsu
    That's rare.
[06:59] Maru
    Is it? I'd say it happens every now and then.
[07:03] Tetsu
    It's your fault. Go apologize to her.
[07:06] Maru
    We're not fighting or anything!
[07:08] Maru
    Also, why is it my fault?!
[07:10] Tetsu
    It always is.
[07:13] Tetsu
    Look, Shida-chan's out of your league, too.
[07:17] Tetsu
    If she wasn't your childhood friend,
    you'd never even get near her.
[07:20] Maru
    I know that. She's cute, guys like her,
[07:24] Maru
    and she's good at communicating.
    I respect her a lot.
[07:28] Kuroha
    Oh?
[07:29] Kuroha
    So that's how you feel about me, Haru?
[07:37] Kuroha
    What're you being all shy for?
[07:38] Kuroha
    I guess even you have your cute moments.
[07:40] Kuroha
    Your big sis here likes
    that about you, you know.
[07:45] Maru
    D-Don't talk about "liking" me!
[07:47] Maru
    And don't call yourself my big sis!
[07:50] Kuroha
    Why? You're the one who
    puts me through so much.
[07:54] Kuroha
    You're even more trouble than
    my little sisters, honestly.
[07:57] Guy
    Damn it, there's Maru with Shida-san again!
[08:00] Goudo
    Guilty!
[08:01] Goudo
    Having an older loli for a childhood
    friend makes him guilty!
[08:04] Uga
    Take it easy, Goudo!
[08:05] Uga
    Maru's a useless childhood friend,
    so Shida-san's still pure!
[08:09] Guy
    It's so unbearable, though.
[08:11] Guy
    There's a cave in the mountains out
    back! No one'll find him there!

    Hey, Haru...
[08:22] Kuroha
    Haru!
[08:24] Maru
    I-I'm just going to the bathroom...
[08:26] Kuroha
    I knew it. You're avoiding me, aren't you?
[08:28] Maru
    Gulp!
[08:30] Kuroha
    Is it because you regret turning me down?
[08:34] Tetsu
    You're running away when something
    this big's going down, Sueharu?

    You're not getting away, Maru!

    Uh-oh, Heaven help you guys.
[08:56] Tetsu
    C'mon, time to go.
[09:01] Maru
    You saved my skin, Kuro.
[09:04] Kuroha
    Answer me.
[09:05] Kuroha
    Do you regret it or not?
[09:08] Maru
    I-I do.
[09:10] Kuroha
    So does that mean you do
    want to go out with me?
[09:14] Maru
    Well...
[09:15] Maru
    I do think we'd have a lot
    of fun if we were a couple.
[09:20] Maru
    But right now, I...
[09:23] Maru
    I'm really sorry.
[09:25] Kuroha
    Huh...
[09:29] Kuroha
    Well, I guess I'll let you off the hook now.
[09:33] Kuroha
    Just kidding!
[09:35] Kuroha
    Asking you out was actually just a game!
[09:38] Maru
    Huh?!
[09:40] Kuroha
    Sorry I didn't tell you before now.
[09:42] Maru
    You... You brat!
[09:45] Kuroha
    Did you take me seriously?
[09:46] Kuroha
    Did you feel awkward and start
    panicking? Stressing? Agonizing?
[09:50] Kuroha
    You should really feel
    more grateful to have me!
[09:54] Maru
    Seriously, give me a break, Kuro...
[09:57] Kuroha
    It was a good lesson, though, wasn't it?
[10:00] Maru
    Maybe, but...
[10:02] Maru
    I'm still gonna do this!
[10:04] Kuroha
    Stop!
[10:05] Kuroha
    You jerk! You're honestly the worst!
[10:07] Maru
    Oh, c'mon.
[10:08] Kuroha
    You can forget about copying my homework!
[10:11] Maru
    Anything but that! Please!

    You're gonna go out with Abe-senpai?!
[10:23] Meiko
    When did he ask you out? And where?
[10:26] Shiro
    Last week, when we went to the beach.
[10:28] Kuroha
    Huh... So Kachi-san got a boyfriend.
[10:32] Tetsu
    Isn't Abe the guy whose dad is an actor,
    so he recently debuted as one, too?
[10:38] Tetsu
    I guess that would make
    him a worthy candidate.
[10:48] Maru
    I'm going home.
[10:51] Tetsu
    Aw. I told him so.
[10:54] Kuroha
    Haru...
[11:04] Maru
    Damn it... Damn it...
[11:08] Kuroha
    Poor Haru. You got shot down, huh?
[11:12] Maru
    I did not.
[11:14] Kuroha
    Huh.
[11:20] Maru
    Sorry, Kuro... but could you
    leave me alone right now?
[11:24] Maru
    Talking to you will just make
    me want to lean on you.
[11:28] Kuroha
    You can, you know.
[11:30] Maru
    You're so nice, Kuro.
[11:34] Maru
    Especially after I rejected you...
[11:36] (Flashback) Kuroha
    Haru, go out with me.
[11:40] Kuroha
    I told you, I just did that
    because I lost a game.
[11:43] Maru
    You're forcing it, aren't you?
[11:47] Maru
    All that about a game...
[11:49] Maru
    Sorry for making you lie.
[11:51] Maru
    You act like an older sister,
    but I know you like to be doted on.
[12:01] Maru
    Hey—
[12:02] Kuroha
    A freebie for you.
[12:05] Kuroha
    Because you figured it out.
[12:08] Kuroha
    You're pretty dumb, but you're a decent guy.
[12:12] Kuroha
    You're nice to me, even when
    you're hurting yourself.
[12:16] Kuroha
    That's why... I like you.
[12:23] Kuroha
    It was upsetting that you didn't choose me,
[12:26] Kuroha
    but that doesn't change my feelings for you.
[12:29] Kuroha
    I'll always be on your side, Haru.
[12:33] Maru
    Kuro...
[12:35] Kuroha
    Go ahead and cry. It'll help.
[12:39] Kuroha
    Kachi-san has no idea what she's missing.
[12:42] Kuroha
    You're such a good guy.
[12:46] Maru
    Damn it...
[12:48] Maru
    She was my first love...
[12:54] Kuroha
    Kachi-san's pretty cruel, isn't she?
[12:56] Maru
    Huh?
[12:57] Kuroha
    She was all buddy-buddy with you,
[12:59] Kuroha
    then ran off to her first choice
    once she saw her chance with him.
[13:03] Kuroha
    I can't believe she'd treat you like that.
[13:08] Maru
    Thanks...
[13:09] Maru
    But even though I should give up,
[13:13] Maru
    I still feel like she might look my way.
[13:16] Maru
    Pathetic, right?
[13:21] Kuroha
    Haru, let's get revenge.
[13:25] Kuroha
    She made a fool of you.
[13:28] Kuroha
    You might forgive her, but I never will.
[13:30] Maru
    Whoa... That seems a bit extreme...
[13:33] Kuroha
    Frankly, I've always hated Kachi-san.
[13:37] Maru
    For real? What is it you hate?
[13:39] Kuroha
    Everything about her!
[13:41] Maru
    I never thought I'd hear
    you talk like that...
[13:43] Maru
    You've changed, Kuro.
[13:45] Kuroha
    What's wrong with that? We don't
    need to hide anything anymore.
[13:49] Maru
    Well, we've both been pretty
    frank with each other...
[13:53] Kuroha
    What do you think about getting revenge?
[13:56] Maru
    To be honest... I'm so upset, I want to.
[13:59] Maru
    But...
[14:00] Kuroha
    Just picture Abe-senpai
    and Kachi-san together!
[14:05] Maru
    Huh?
[14:06] Kuroha
    They've been dating for a week.
[14:09] Kuroha
    They might have their
    first date this weekend!
[14:11] Kuroha
    Think they'll go to the movies?
[14:14] Kuroha
    Then maybe they'll get dinner, then tea,
[14:16] Kuroha
    and then maybe they'll
    go to the observatory.
[14:19] Kuroha
    Then he'll walk her home,
    and they'll try to say goodbye,
[14:23] Kuroha
    but Senpai will stop her, and their lips—
[14:26] Maru
    No! I can't believe them! Both of them!
[14:30] Maru
    How is it good-looking guys get the
    best stuff without even trying?!
[14:34] Maru
    God might forgive you, but I never will!
[14:37] Kuroha
    Guilty or not guilty?
[14:40] Maru
    Guilty!
[14:43] Maru
    You're right! I do need revenge!
[14:47] Maru
    You only ever have one first love!
[14:52] Maru
    She might call me scum,
[14:54] Maru
    but I'm gonna get her back
    a million times worse!
[15:05] Kuroha
    I've been waiting to hear you say that.
[15:15] Maru
    Kuro once told me that her name,
    Kuroha, comes from "clover."
[15:21] Maru
    In the language of flowers, clovers mean
[15:23] Maru
    "good fortune," "think of me,"
    "promise," and...
[15:29] Maru
    "revenge."
[15:30] Kuroha
    I'll help you out, Haru.
[15:33] Maru
    Yeah. I'm gonna avenge my first love!

    No problem.

    Yes! Every man has a thing or

    will come out unscathed!

[17:15] Maru
    What should we do, then?
[17:17] Kuroha
    Don't worry. You just need to end up happy.
[17:21] Kuroha
    Then you're the winner, right?
[17:23] Maru
    Happy...
[17:26] Kuroha
    What would make you happy?
[17:28] Kuroha
    When you hear "happy," what comes to mind?
[17:34] Maru
    If Kachi confessed to me...
    that might make me happy...
[17:39] Maru
    And here I'm talking about
    revenge. Stupid, huh?
[17:41] Kuroha
    Very stupid.
[17:42] Kuroha
    You're where you are now because
    that didn't happen, remember?
[17:47] Kuroha
    But I know how you feel.
[17:51] ---
    Kuro...
[17:53] Kuroha
    Hey, Haru...
[17:55] Kuroha
    Why don't you pretend to be my boyfriend?
[17:58] Maru
    Huh?! How would that get me revenge?
[18:01] Kuroha
    Kachi had a sweet side that
    she only showed to you,
[18:04] Kuroha
    so she likes you enough that she
    wanted to keep you around.
[18:08] Kuroha
    I think that's a safe assumption.
[18:10] Maru
    O-Okay...
[18:11] Kuroha
    But if the boy she wanted to
    keep around got a girlfriend,
[18:14] Kuroha
    and if it was a cutie like me
    to boot, how would she feel?
[18:18] Maru
    You're really overconfident
    sometimes, you know that?
[18:21] Kuroha
    That's bad?
[18:23] Maru
    N-No, it's fine...
[18:26] Maru
    So that would mean...
SIGN    I thought I was
    keeping him around,
    but he was just
    keeping me around...
[18:29] Shiro
    I thought I was keeping him around,
    but he was just keeping me around...
[18:33] Maru
    Wow!
[18:34] Maru
    That's exactly how I was hoping to strike!
[18:36] Kuroha
    Right?
[18:38] Maru
    Are you sure, though? You'd have
    to force yourself again...
[18:41] Kuroha
    Jeez, you really are an idiot, Haru.
[18:46] Kuroha
    I get to go out with the guy
    I love, even if it's fake.
[18:49] Kuroha
    That's nothing but profit for me.
[18:57] Maru
    Whoa... Wait, wait...
[18:59] Maru
    What is this? Am I that easy?!
[19:03] Kuroha
    Haru?
[19:04] Maru
    Calm down... Calm down!
[19:09] Kuroha
    Why don't you just tell your big
    sis how you really feel already?
[19:15] Maru
    K-Kuro! We shouldn't do this!
[19:17] Kuroha
    Do what?
[19:18] Maru
    You know what!
[19:21] Kuroha
    You're so cute.
[19:22] Kuroha
    You're the one who's cute!
[19:25] Maru
    Even if it's fake, the idea of
    dating you makes me embarrassed!
[19:28] Maru
    And I'm a total creep for
    being happy about it!
[19:30] Kuroha
    Oh, I'm sorry...
[19:32] Maru
    No... I'm sorry.
[19:35] Kuroha
    O-Okay, then, I guess
    we'll go with this plan.
[19:38] Maru
    Right.
[19:40] Kuroha
    Just so we can call it a done deal...
[19:43] Kuroha
    should we go ahead and kiss?
[19:44] Maru
    What?!
[19:47] Maru
    Ow!
[19:49] Maru
    Wait... Kuro...
[19:51] Maru
    Have you lost all reason?!
[19:54] Kuroha
    I mean, isn't this the kind of
    situation where you'd just... do it?
[19:58] Kuroha
    So I thought a little kiss couldn't hurt.
[20:01] Kuroha
    Right, Haru?
[20:03] Maru
    H-Hang in there, my reason!
[20:05] Kuroha
    Why are you holding back?
[20:07] Kuroha
    Just look at what I'm like already.
[20:10] Kuroha
    You're so unfair.
[20:12] Maru
    You're close...
[20:13] Kuroha
    It's okay, Haru.
    There's nothing to be afraid of.
[20:17] Maru
    What I'm afraid of is that
    there'll be no going back...
[20:21] Kuroha
    You're still able to think about the future?
[20:24] Kuroha
    I can't have that.
[20:29] Maru
    N...
[20:30] Maru
    No!
[20:32] Kuroha
    Huh?
[20:34] Maru
    Sorry, Kuro! See you tomorrow!
[20:37] Kuro
    Wait... Haru!
[20:41] Kuroha
    What a loser.
[20:45] Maru
    Damn that Kuro...
[20:48] Maru
    No! What I need to do right
    now is get info on Abe!
[20:54] Maru
    Hey! Do you have a minute?!
[20:58] Maru
    Everyone said nothing but good things.
SIGN    ...not sarcastic at all, I totally mean...
    ...a really good, upright guy...
    ...since he's so approachable. Anyway...
    ...don't show up much, but even though I'm just a first-year...
    ...Abe-senpai's singing? Of course...
    ...about him? You mean in terms of relationships and stuff?
    ...but even then, Abe-senpai...
    ...everyone already knew...
    It was no use.
[21:01] Maru
    It's no wonder Kachi fell in love with him.
[21:04] Maru
    Wait! I can't just give up!
[21:07] Maru
    I am Envy Mask, and I burn with envy.
[21:10] Maru
    If I hear good things
    about my rival in love,
[21:12] Maru
    it just makes me even more
    determined to expose him!
[21:16] Mitsuru
    Wow, I'd love to hear more about that.
[21:19] Maru
    Huh?!
[21:20] Maru
    Abe-senpai?!
[21:21] Mitsuru
    You're the one who's been asking
    around about me, right?
[21:26] Maru
    Word spreads fast, huh?
[21:28] Mitsuru
    I just happened to find out.
[21:29] Mitsuru
    If you weren't the one
    who'd been asking around,
[21:31] Mitsuru
    I doubt you wouldn't have come up here.
[21:33] Maru
    Wow... A famous guy like you knows who I am?
[21:38] Mitsuru
    I wouldn't say I know you.
[21:40] Mitsuru
    To be precise, it's more like I remembered.
[21:45] Maru
    Whatever might you be talking about?
[21:49] Mitsuru
    I had no idea until just recently
    that you were at this school.
[22:01] Mitsuru
    The former genius child actor,
[22:04] Mitsuru
    Maru Sueharu.
[22:07] Maru
    Huh?
