SIGN    Child King
[00:02] Maru
    I was born to a father who was a stunt man
[00:04] Maru
    and a mother who was an
    unsuccessful actress.
[00:09] (Flashback) Mom
    You did great, Haru-kun!
[00:13] (Flashback) Maru
    I'll do my best in the next scene, too.
[00:15] (Flashback) Maru
    Good.
[00:18] Maru
    Seeing my mom look so happy
    made acting fun for me.
[00:22] Maru
    It made me want to try
    harder and do a lot more.
[00:27] Maru
    But...

    The Childhood Friend Won't Lose
[01:59] Mitsuru
    I had no idea you were at this school.
[02:03] Mitsuru
    Would you tell me why you suddenly
    left show business six years ago?
[02:08] Maru
    Why should I have to tell you?
[02:10] Mitsuru
    I decided to be an actor because of you.
[02:13] Maru
    Huh?
[02:14] Mitsuru
    My dad acted alongside you
    in a historical drama,
[02:18] Mitsuru
    and he had the highest praise for you.
[02:20] Mitsuru
    But I didn't have any talent.
[02:23] Mitsuru
    I had already given up once,
    but I still wanted to be an actor.
[02:27] Mitsuru
    Then Shirokusa-chan told me
    that you went to this school.
[02:31] Maru
    Kachi told you?
[02:33] Mitsuru
    I did some digging and found
    out you liked Shirokusa-chan.
[02:37] Mitsuru
    I figured I could use that.
[02:39] Mitsuru
    In other words, I decided to
    start dating Shirokusa-chan
[02:43] Mitsuru
    so that I could humiliate you.
[02:46] Mitsuru
    It looks like it worked.
[02:49] Maru
    Why would you do that just to get to me?
[02:51] Mitsuru
    Because I hate you.
[02:53] Mitsuru
    I wanted victory over you
    in a form that I could see,
[02:57] Mitsuru
    that'd be clear as day.
[02:59] Maru
    You bastard!
[03:01] Mitsuru
    I really wish you wouldn't
    do anything violent.
[03:03] Mitsuru
    Though if you want to be expelled,
    I won't stop you.
[03:06] Maru
    What's his deal? How is
    he a perfect superman?!
[03:09] Maru
    He's just a complete idiot
    who's mad with envy!
[03:12] Maru
    Why would Kachi date a guy like this?!
[03:18] Mitsuru
    I'm planning to formally confess to
    Shirokusa-chan at the confession festival.
[03:23] Mitsuru
    My agency doesn't want me
    to go public with it yet,
[03:26] Mitsuru
    but if I do it at the confession festival,
     they'll have to agree.
[03:31] Mitsuru
    And that will be the time
    limit on your first love.
[03:36] Mitsuru
    Go ahead and do your best
    to find my weakness.
[03:43] Maru
    Hey. You said you wanted to do a play
    for the cultural festival, right?
[03:47] Tetsu
    Huh?
[03:49] Maru
    I'll be in it.
[03:54] Tetsu
    Ah... I see.
[03:58] Tetsu
    Abe's a pro. You'll need a
    good script to beat him.
[04:02] Maru
    I know that.
[04:03] Maru
    It needs to hook people, make them laugh,
     and leave them speechless.
[04:07] Tetsu
    And who can write...
[04:11] Both
    That's who.
[04:13] Tetsu
    Go on.
[04:15] Maru
    N-No, you go!
[04:17] Kuroha
    Hey, Haru!
[04:19] Kuroha
    Why haven't you checked NINE?
[04:22] Kuroha
    It was my first post since we started dating,
     and I wanted to go together!
[04:25] Maru
    Geh!
[04:27] Girl
    No way...
[04:29] Guy
    Maru-kun...
[04:31] Guy
    Come play with us.
[04:35] Goudo
    Guilty! Guilty!
[04:39] Uga
    Don't cry, Goudo! I'll give you some candy!
[04:42] Maru
    Thanks for bailing me out, Kuro.
[04:47] Tetsu
    Hey, perfect.
[04:49] Tetsu
    Go ask her!
[04:51] Tetsu
    Kachi!
[04:53] Kachi
    You want something?
[04:56] Maru
    Help! Help! Help!
[04:58] Kachi
    Do you not think it's rude to call
    my name and then turn your back?
[05:04] Maru
    I sincerely apologize for
    all kinds of things!
[05:08] Kachi
    What... things?
[05:10] Maru
    Huh?
[05:12] Kachi
    Nothing. So what do you want?
[05:15] Maru
    Oh... Well, we want to do a play
    for the cultural festival,
[05:19] Maru
    and we were hoping you'd write an amazing
    script that would draw attention.
[05:25] Kachi
    Suddenly being showered with praise
[05:27] Kachi
    and asked for favors
    right after I got famous
[05:30] Kachi
    isn't a great feeling.
[05:33] Kachi
    But I do want to support people
    who challenge themselves.
[05:37] Kachi
    I wouldn't mind helping you.
[05:39] Maru
    Huh?
[05:40] Kachi
    You'll be in the play, right?
[05:42] Maru
    Oh, yeah.
[05:44] Kachi
    Okay. I'll come up with something.
[05:47] Maru
    Really?
[05:48] Kachi
    Depending on what you pay me.
[05:51] Maru
    I'll think of something!
[05:53] Kachi
    Okay.
[05:55] Kachi
    Let's exchange NINE info.
SIGN    I'd like to call you about
    the cultural festival.
     Are you free right now?
SIGN    URRRGH...
[06:07] Maru
    Go!
[06:16] Kuroha
    Oh, having curry today?
[06:18] Maru
    Yeah.
[06:19] Kuroha
    My little sisters were just saying
    they wanted some of your curry.
[06:23] Maru
    I haven't seen them in a while.
     How are they doing?
[06:25] Kuroha
    Good!
[06:27] Maru
    Kuro and I live next to each other,
[06:29] Maru
    and our parents are good friends.
[06:31] Maru
    Since our families spent
    a lot of time together,
[06:33] Maru
    her sisters are like my own family, too.
[06:36] Maru
    They all have color words in their names,
[06:39] Maru
    so local folks call them the four beautiful
    Shida girls, the "Colorful Sisters."
[06:45] Kuroha
    Maybe I should cook something
    every now and then, too.
[06:50] Maru
    I'm begging you. Don't.
[06:52] Kuroha
    What? Are you gonna say my tongue
    is like outer space again?
[06:57] Maru
    Well, it's true!
[06:58] Maru
    Do you know how many times your
    cooking almost killed me?
[07:02] Kuroha
    I'm not even that bad at cooking.
[07:07] Kuroha
    It's such a mess in here again.
[07:09] Maru
    Yeah, I spent summer break with my dad.
[07:12] Kuroha
    Is he crossing the country on foot again?
[07:15] Maru
    He's pretty busy doing accident
    re-enactment stunt work.
[07:18] Kuroha
    Huh...
[07:19] Maru
    We're both pretty irresponsible,
    so I appreciate you coming by again.
[07:23] Maru
    Thanks.
[07:25] Kuroha
    Yeah, yeah. I bet your
    summer break was crazy.

[07:31] Kuroha
    A photo?
[07:33] Kuroha
    Hey, Haru, who's this kid?
[07:36] Maru
    Wow, that's Shiro.
    That brings back memories.
[07:40] Kuroha
    Shiro?
[07:41] Maru
    The son of a sponsor on a drama I was in.
[07:45] Maru
    We played together once.
[07:47] Maru
    I think he said he'd write a story someday,
[07:49] Maru
    and he wanted me to act in it.

    I'm gonna go to my room for a minute!
[08:09] Kuroha
    Huh? Why?
[08:11] Maru
    Sorry, but could you watch the pot?
[08:15] Maru
    Yes, hello?
[08:17] Kachi
    Thanks for the message.
[08:19] Mara
    Nah, you don't have to thank me.
[08:20] Kachi
    Do you have time to talk?
[08:22] Maru
    Of course!
[08:23] Kachi
    So about the image for the play—
[08:25] Kuroha
    Haru!
[08:26] Kuroha
    Did you put the vacuum
    cleaner somewhere else?
[08:29] Kachi
    Ah. So that's it.
[08:32] Maru
    No, wait! There's a reason for this!
[08:33] Kuroha
    The food's gonna get cold!
[08:36] Kachi
    I'm sorry for calling in the
    middle of your at-home date.
[08:39] Maru
    N-N-No! That's not what this is!
[08:45] Kachi
    I know about your relationship
    with Shida-san.
[08:48] Kachi
    There's no reason to get so flustered.
[08:51] Maru
    Kachi... Is that the kind of person you are?
[08:53] Kachi
    You didn't know? It's all your fault.
[08:57] Maru
    Huh? Why?
[08:59] Kachi
    U-Uh, because...
[09:01] Kuroha
    Haru, I'll be doing the laundry.
[09:03] Kuroha
    Come down when you're done on the phone.
[09:06] Kachi
    Why don't we talk tomorrow instead?
    Just the two of us.
[09:10] Maru
    Just us?!
[09:11] Kachi
    Yes.
[09:12] Kachi
    I'll have the library
    prep room ready for us.
[09:14] Kachi
    I've reserved it for times
    when we want to talk alone.
[09:19] Maru
    Does she mean...
[09:24] Kachi
    Send me your ideas on the
    image for the play on NINE.
[09:27] Kachi
    I might be able to come
    up with a simple plot.
[09:30] Maru
    Okay... Thanks. See you tomorrow.
[09:38] Kuroha
    So it was actually Kachi-san.
[09:41] Maru
    Yeah.
[09:42] Kuroha
    Don't you think it's weird that
    she's suddenly approaching you?
[09:46] Kuroha
    And exchanging NINE contacts in
    front of everyone, too.
[09:49] Maru
    Is it weird?
[09:51] Kuroha
    She might be working behind the
    scenes with Abe-senpai to trap you.
[09:54] Kuroha
    And asking Kachi-san, the one you want
    revenge on, for help seems kinda backwards.
[10:00] Kuroha
    Doesn't this feel like
    Abe-senpai's setting a trap?
[10:04] Kuroha
    If he is, you're a clown happily
    nibbling on the bait he left for you.
[10:13] Maru
    How dare he trample all
    over a man's purity?!
[10:16] Kuroha
    I get that acting is the only
    way to beat Abe-senpai,
[10:20] Kuroha
    but can you even act, Haru?
[10:24] Kuroha
    I don't think you should try to act.
[10:27] Kuroha
    It's been ages since you did,
[10:29] Kuroha
    and there's a lot more bashing
    now than there was then.
[10:32] Kuroha
    You still want to do it?
[10:34] Maru
    Thanks for worrying about me.
[10:37] Maru
    But if I don't do anything,
    I think I'll regret it forever.
[10:41] Maru
    So I think this is a good opportunity.
[10:45] Maru
    I'll try practicing tomorrow.
[10:47] Kuroha
    Well, if it doesn't work out,
    acting isn't all you're good for.
[10:51] Kuroha
    I still...
[10:53] Kuroha
    like you.
[10:56] Kuroha
    Aw, you're embarrassed. How cute.
[10:59] Maru
    Well, you should see how red you are!
[11:01] Kuroha
    I-I'm not red!
[11:05] Kuroha
    No counterattacks! I can't deal with that!
[11:08] Maru
    What the hell?
[11:10] Kuroha
    It's fine for me to egg you on!
[11:12] Kuroha
    But you're not allowed to tease me!
[11:15] Maru
    That's some convenient logic.
[11:23] Kuroha
    Hey!
[11:28] Maru
    What about this, then?
[11:30] Kuroha
    J-Just do it. You're gonna kiss me, right?
[11:35] Kuroha
    You don't even have the guts to do that.
[11:38] Maru
    And if I said I do?
[11:43] Kuroha
    I'd be happy.
[11:44] Maru
    I can't!
[11:47] Kuroha
    I think you know this,
[11:48] Kuroha
    but no one would think it was
    weird if I got home late.
[11:52] Maru
    D-Don't yank the ladder out from under me!
[11:54] Kuroha
    I can't?
[11:56] Maru
    You wanna kill me?!
[11:57] Kuroha
    I got over it a long time ago.
[12:00] Kuroha
    I'm just moving forward now.
[12:02] Maru
    I-I can't! I seriously can't!

    I wrote a bit based on the

SIGN    Contents  Needs an extraordinary concept that will make it the most talked-about event of the cultural festival   Concept  To stand out above all others, should utilize the opening ceremony and confession festival instead of limiting to a standard play performance  There's no point unless everyone sees it
[13:32] Kachi
    What do you think?
[13:35] Maru
    Oh, I get it.
[13:36] Maru
    We could use the confession festival,
    since everyone in the school will see it.
[13:40] Kachi
    Yes. If you want to stand out,
     that's the best way.
[13:44] Kachi
    You guys will cause a stir
    at the confession festival
[13:46] Kachi
    and take it over, as if it
    was part of your own play.
[13:51] Kachi
    How about it?
[13:52] Maru
    Best idea I've heard!
[13:53] Maru
    Thanks!
[13:59] Maru
    Man, you really are a pro!
[14:01] Kachi
    Well, that's to be expected
    from one of my plots.
[14:07] Kachi
    That's all.
[14:09] Kachi
    You don't get to see more until you pay me.
[14:11] Maru
    Oh, right.
[14:13] Maru
    I actually don't have much cash on me...
[14:15] Kachi
    Stop. I don't want to see
    you in that position.
[14:20] Maru
    Kachi, you... know I was
    a child actor, right?
[14:24] Kachi
    Yes.
[14:25] Maru
    Were you actually... supporting me?
[14:28] Kachi
    Well, yes. I can't deny that.
[14:32] Maru
    Oh... So that's why...
[14:35] Maru
    Thanks, but I'm not who I was back then.
[14:39] Maru
    I'm just a high school kid now.
[14:41] Maru
    It won't do you much good to expect more.
[14:43] Kachi
    But you're preparing to get
    up on the stage again.
[14:46] Maru
    Yeah... Maybe I shouldn't even bother,
[14:50] Maru
    but it seems dumb to just
    keep living in obscurity.
[14:53] Maru
    Even if I embarrass myself, I want to
    put all I have into starting over.
[14:57] Kachi
    Would you tell me why that happened to you?
[15:01] Kachi
    That's the payment I want.
[15:05] Maru
    Are you familiar with Child Star,
     the drama I was in?
[15:09] Kachi
    Of course.
[15:10] Kachi
    It became a cultural phenomenon
    and launched you to instant fame.
[15:14] Maru
    Yeah, and thanks to that, a continuation
    was made the following year...
[15:19] Maru
    But my mom was happier about being
    in it herself than about me.
[15:25] (Flashback) Mom
    Haru-kun, I get to act in the
    continuation as your mother!
[15:30] (Flashback) Maru
    Really?

    in a drama in this time slot.
[15:35] (Flashback) Mom
    It's thanks to you that I got the call.

    Thank you so much!

    She died from a blow to the head.
[15:52] Maru
    The car never made contact with her.
[15:54] Maru
    It was just a terrible accident that
    happened because she was acting her hardest.
[15:58] (Flashback) Dad
    The drama's been canceled.
[16:00] (Flashback) Dad
    You should take some time off.
[16:02] (Flashback) Maru
    No!
[16:04] (Flashback) Maru
    It was Mom's dream to be in that time slot!
[16:07] (Flashback) Maru
    That's why she tried so hard
    and ended up like that!
[16:11] (Flashback) Maru
    There's no way she'd want this
    drama to fail because of her!

    I'm sorry.

    But why? What happened?
[18:30] (Flashback) Kachi
    Did I do something to make him hate me?
[18:33] (Flashback) Kachi
    But that's cruel. He promised me...
[18:36] (Flashback) Kachi
    That's too cruel, Su-chan!
[18:39] Kachi
    I wanted to get back at him.
[18:41] Kachi
    I decided to get stronger,
    prettier, and famous,
[18:45] Kachi
    to become the most gorgeous woman ever,
[18:47] Kachi
    and make him regret that he
    didn't come to see me again.
[18:51] Kachi
    But I eventually figured it out.
[18:54] Kachi
    That feeling I had was my first love.
[18:58] Kachi
    I love you, Su-chan. I love you, Su-chan.
[19:03] Kachi
    I love you, Su-chan. I love you, Su-chan.
[19:08] (Flashback) Maru
    I want to put all I have into starting over.
[19:11] Kachi
    He's just as radiant and
    strong as he was back then.
[19:16] Kachi
    I hated him so much,
    but now I'm back to this.
[19:22] Kachi
    First love is a curse, Su-chan.
[19:26] Kachi
    My name is Shirokusa.
[19:28] Kachi
    I was named after "shirotsumekusa,"
    the white clover.
[19:35] Kuroha
    Abe-senpai will sing and dance to 
    Child Star at the confession festival.
SIGN    Confession Festival
[19:40] Kuroha
    Then you rush the stage and start
    singing and dancing alongside him,
[19:43] Kuroha
    and you completely steal
    the spotlight from him.
[19:46] Kuroha
    Then you ride the wave and
    confess to his girlfriend...
[19:51] Kuroha
    Wait, if you're even better than Abe-senpai,
[19:54] Kuroha
    does that mean Kachi-san will
    accept your confession?
[19:57] Maru
    That's how it comes across, huh?
[20:00] Maru
    But there's no way she'd do that.
[20:02] Kuroha
    Also, it doesn't make sense.
[20:04] Kuroha
    How does Kachi-san know
    about Abe-senpai's plan?
[20:08] Kuroha
    This is obviously a trap.
[20:11] Kuroha
    She's gonna make you do all this
    and then reject you outright.
[20:15] Kuroha
    It's a plot to kick you as low as you
    can go just when you're riding high.
[20:19] Maru
    Nah, she wouldn't do anything that awful.
[20:21] Kuroha
    Are you gonna do this, then?
[20:25] Maru
    I want to, honestly.
[20:27] Kuroha
    Because Kachi-san might actually
    accept your confession?
[20:30] Maru
    No, it's just because I think it'll be fun.
[20:33] Maru
    It's the perfect thing
    to take Abe down a peg.
[20:37] Kuroha
    The girl you admire might finally look
    your way. You want to ruin that?
[20:41] Maru
    Hey, Kuro... There's something
    I want you to know.
[20:44] Kuroha
    Nope. I don't wanna hear it.
[20:46] Maru
    Listen, I—
[20:48] Kuroha
    Receiving signal! Receiving signal!
[20:51] Maru
    Seriously?
[20:52] Kuroha
    I don't wanna hear it!
[20:53] Kuroha
    You're gonna say you still like Kachi-san,
[20:55] Kuroha
    so we should stop being
    a fake couple, right?
[20:58] Kuroha
    I don't want that!
[21:02] Maru
    It's not that.
[21:04] Maru
    I'm gonna be practicing with
    Tetsuhiko up until the festival,
[21:07] Maru
    so you don't have to come over
    for a while. That's all.
[21:09] Kuroha
    Huh?
[21:10] Maru
    You were opposed to me acting, right?
[21:14] Maru
    Well, I'll probably look pretty
    terrible while I'm practicing,
[21:17] Maru
    so I thought only Tetsuhiko
    should help me out.
[21:19] Kuroha
    Okay, fine. I believe you.
[21:24] Maru
    Don't force yourself to smile.
[21:26] Kuroha
    Idiot.
[21:29] Kuroha
    Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!
[21:32] Kuroha
    I think you can probably act just fine.
[21:35] Kuroha
    As long as you're acting
    for someone else's sake.
[21:38] Kuroha
    That's what it was about when you were a kid
    and your acting made your mom happy, right?
[21:42] Kuroha
    So if you can decide who
    you want to act for,
[21:45] Kuroha
    I know you can get through this.
[21:49] Maru
    You're right.
[21:51] Maru
    Thanks, Kuro.
[21:53] Kuroha
    You're very welcome.
[21:58] Tetsu
    Well, ready to start?
[22:01] Maru
    Yeah.
[22:07] Kuroha
    Haru...
