[00:00] Shun
    With money, you could make life
    easier for all those close to you.
[00:04] Shun
    Don't you want to take good
    care of your parents?
[00:06] Kuroha
    Of course I do, but...
[00:09] Shun
    Then do it. Get into show business.
[00:12] Maru
    Hey—
[00:12] Kuroha
    As I've told you several times now,
[00:15] Kuroha
    I came here today to decline—
[00:17] Shun
    Shida-chan, you're no fun at all.
[00:20] Shun
    Maybe your parents didn't raise you right?
[00:35] Maru
    Don't you dare make fun
    of my childhood friend.
[00:45] Shun
    Tch! I had a bad feeling when you
    showed up with all this trash.
[00:48] Shun
    Guess I was right!
[00:50] Shun
    Are you trash, too?!
[00:54] Tetsu
    Yo, what the hell did you just say?!
[00:57] Kuroha
    Wait... Tetsuhiko-kun! If you do that—
[00:59] Maru
    Tetsuhiko, stop!
[01:01] Tetsu
    Let go of me, Dumbharu!
[01:03] Tetsu
    I'm not gonna let this asshole
    make fun of my friend!
[01:06] Maru
    Tetsuhiko...
[01:07] Shun
    Bunch of trash.
[01:08] Tetsu
    Let go!
[01:10] Tetsu
    Damn it!
[01:11] Maru
    You can't!
[01:12] Shun
    Hey, call the police.
[01:14] Shun
    A little hoodlum's attacking me.
[01:18] Shun
    What did you say? I'll be right there!
[01:22] Shun
    All of you, stay right here!
[01:26] Maru
    What do we do now?!
[01:27] Tetsu
    I didn't hurt him.
[01:29] Tetsu
    We're the only ones in here.
[01:31] Tetsu
    We all just need to testify
    that nothing happened.
[01:33] Maru
    And what about the wine?
[01:35] Maru
    There's no missing that.
[01:37] Tetsu
    Just say that moron tripped and
    dumped it all over his own head.
[01:41] Maru
    Of course!
[01:42] Maru
    This is the first time you've
    seemed so reliable to me!
[01:45] Kachi
    I'll testify that way, too.
[01:47] Kachi
    I mean, he's just too much.
[01:49] Maria
    And if necessary, I'll—
[01:51] Kuroha
    Hold it.
[01:53] Kuroha
    Haru, as your big sister,
[01:55] Kuroha
    I think throwing wine on
    him and lying is going too far.
[01:59] Maru
    Well, I guess...
[02:00] Kuroha
    And the idea of going back
    into show business...
[02:03] Maru
    It's gonna be tough now, huh?
[02:05] Maru
    He'll probably go around spreading
    a lot of half-truths,
[02:09] Maru
    which will make other agencies wary, too.
[02:12] Kuroha
    Haru, you're such an idiot.
[02:12] Dad
    What happened?
[02:14] Shun
    Allow me to explain that.
[02:20] Dad
    Well, you sure have grown up, Maru-chan.
[02:22] Dad
    Remember me? I'm Kachi Souichirou
    of Kozuka Pharmaceuticals.
[02:26] Dad
    Or maybe you'd remember
    me better as Shiro's dad?
[02:30] Maru
    I-It's good to see you again!
[02:32] Kachi
    You're the one making the commercial?
[02:34] Dad
    You're here, too, Shiro?
[02:36] Dad
    And all of you?
[02:38] Dad
    Could you explain what happened
    in a way that I can understand?
SIGN    Osamake: Romcom Where
    The Childhood Friend Won't Lose
[02:50] Dad
    I see. So that's what happened.
[02:53] Kuroha
    Haru said what he said for my sake.
[02:56] Kuroha
    So just call it my fault.
[02:58] Maru
    Kuro...
[03:00] Dad
    I know how you feel,
    but that's not the issue.
[03:03] Dad
    You understand, don't you?
[03:07] Kachi
    I'm also convinced that Su-chan did
    the right thing as human being.
[03:11] Kachi
    So no matter what the law says,
     I'll back Su-chan.
[03:15] Dad
    I know how you feel, too, but...
[03:18] Kachi
    Who decided that the only way
    to hurt someone is physically?
[03:22] Kachi
    Words are sharp blades, too.
[03:25] Kachi
    And he hurt all of us with his verbal blades.
[03:28] Kachi
    Su-chan was only protecting us.
[03:32] Maria
    Considering all of your opinions together,
[03:34] Maria
    my conviction compels me to
    support Sueharu-oniichan,
[03:38] Maria
    so I would like this to
    be resolved peacefully.
[03:40] Maria
    Would that be all right?
[03:42] Maria
    But of course, Shun-san,
    you won't agree with that.
[03:45] Shun
    Damn right I won't!
[03:46] Shun
    I'm the victim here! Me!
[03:49] Tetsu
    You're—
[03:50] Maru
    Don't, Tetsuhiko.
[03:51] Maria
    Well, then...
[03:53] Maria
    Why don't we have a commercial contest?
[03:57] Maru
    Uh... Momo?
[03:58] Maria
    Shun-san, if you involve the police,
    Sueharu-oniichan won't join your agency, right?
[04:03] Maria
    Which means, naturally,
    there'll be no profit for you.
[04:06] Maria
    That isn't really what you want, is it?
[04:10] Shun
    That's true.
[04:11] Maria
    So here's my suggestion.
[04:13] Maria
    We'll have a commercial contest.
[04:14] Maria
    If you win, Sueharu-oniichan
    will join your agency
[04:18] Maria
    and do whatever work you want him to.
[04:20] Maria
    But if Sueharu-oniichan wins,
[04:23] Maria
    you won't file a police report,
[04:25] Maria
    and even if he tries to join another agency,
[04:27] Maria
    you won't do anything to
    interfere with his decision.
[04:30] Maria
    That works for you, right?
[04:35] Shun
    Okay. That's fine.
[04:37] Maria
    Sir, would you mind if we
    made two proposals for the commercial
[04:40] Maria
    you wanted Sueharu-oniichan
    to do if he came back,
[04:42] Maria
    one produced by the agency's side and
    one produced by Onii-chan's side?
[04:46] Dad
    Sure. That itself should
    draw a lot of attention.
[04:49] Maria
    What do you say, Sueharu-oniichan?
    Will you compete?
[04:53] Maru
    Yeah, I'll do it.
[04:54] Maria
    Then we'll set up a special site
    to post the two commercials on.
[04:57] Maria
    The viewers will vote on them,
[04:59] Maria
    and the one that gets the most
    votes wins. How does that sound?
[05:02] Kuroha
    Haru won't stand a chance!
[05:05] Kuroha
    Even he can't do all that by himself!
[05:07] Maria
    Onii-chan told me earlier about
    the Ultramarine Channel.
[05:10] Maria
    He said it was Tetsuhiko-san's idea.
[05:13] Maria
    I think it sounds wonderful.
    Such a perfect teenage activity.
[05:17] Maria
    I kind of admire that.
[05:19] Maria
    Perhaps you could call the members of the
    Ultramarine Channel the "Ultramarine Alliance"?
[05:24] Maria
    With these members, I think
    you'd stand a very good chance.
SIGN    Commercial Contest Rules
SIGN    The original budget allotted for the
SIGN    commercial will be divided evenly between
SIGN    both production teams, and Kozuka Pharmaceuticals
SIGN    will create the site both commercials
SIGN    will be published on.
[05:28] Maria
    The contest will begin in one
    week and last three days.
[05:31] Maria
    A shorter work period will prevent the
    agency from hiring a production team,
[05:36] Maria
    putting both sides on more even footing.
[05:38] Shun
    I'm willing to give them
    that much of a handicap.
[05:41] Maria
    Sir, can we ask you to help Sueharu-oniichan's
     team get the staff they need?
[05:47] Dad
    I'll arrange it.
[05:48] Maria
    Now the conditions for both
    teams are basically equal.
[05:52] Maru
    I just want to make sure of one thing.
[05:54] Maru
    Will you be in our commercial, Momo?
[05:56] Maria
    I want to show you how much
    I've grown in six years,
[05:59] Maria
    so I'm planning to appear
    in Shun-san's commercial.
[06:02] Maru
    Bu—I was really counting on your
    fame to give us a boost, though!
[06:05] Maru
    My life depends on this! Please don't!
[06:08] Kuroha
    Haru...
[06:09] Kachi
    Su-chan...
[06:10] Tetsu
    Groveling is not what you should
    be doing after all this.
[06:13] Maria
    I'll do my very best!
[06:16] Maria
    How does that sound?
[06:18] Kachi
    Wait.
[06:19] Kachi
    There's one more condition I'd like to add.
[06:24] Maru
    Momo, are you sure you didn't want to add the
    condition that you'd quit the agency if I won?
[06:30] Maria
    Huh?
[06:31] Maru
    You asked me to save you before.
[06:34] Maru
    You meant from that president, didn't you?
[06:36] Maria
    Thank you for mentioning that.
[06:38] Maria
    I'll add that condition in secret later.

    so we should keep it youthful.
[07:02] Tetsu
    Kachi, can you let us in on
    your vision for this contest?
[07:05] Tetsu
    You're psyched for the chance
    to realize your dream, right?
[07:08] Kachi
    If we can execute the plan,
     I was up all night thinking about,
[07:13] Kachi
    we can win.

[07:27] (Flashback) Eri
    I promise I'll protect you, Maria.
[07:30] (Flashback) Maria
    Onee-chan...
[07:32] Maria
    When she graduated from middle school,
[07:34] Maria
    the two of us ran away from home.
[07:37] Maria
    Despite her excellent grades,
    my sister didn't go on to college.
[07:40] Maria
    She put all her effort
    into working to raise me.
[07:44] Maria
    I hated it.
[07:46] Maria
    I hated everything in the
    world that made her suffer,
[07:49] Maria
    and I hated my powerless
    self for holding her back.
[07:54] Maria
    One day, I was scouted by the agency's
    president at that time, Nina Hardy.
[07:59] Maria
    I joined the agency,
    hoping it would make things
[08:01] Maria
    at least a little bit easier for my sister.
[08:04] Maria
    It was there that I met Sueharu-oniichan,
[08:06] Maria
    my destined one.
[08:10] (Flashback) Maru
    You always look so timid.
[08:13] (Flashback) Maru
    Is it fun to live like that?
[08:15] (Flashback) Maria
    I'm not like you.
[08:17] (Flashback) Maria
    I wasn't blessed with good
    fortune like you are!
[08:20] (Flashback) Maria
    No matter what I do, it's...
[08:22] (Flashback) Maru
    Is it really useless? Are you sure?
[08:25] (Flashback) Maru
    When you haven't even put your
    full strength into it yet?
[08:27] (Flashback) Maru
    You don't think you'll regret that?
[08:30] (Flashback) Maria
    You don't have to tell me that!
[08:33] (Flashback) Maria
    But... But...
[08:34] (Flashback) Maru
    No buts!
[08:36] (Flashback) Maria
    Ow!
[08:40] (Flashback) Maru
    Give it all of your strength!
[08:41] (Flashback) Maru
    You have talent!
[08:43] (Flashback) Maru
    Plus, you're smarter than me,
    and you have better intuition.
[08:47] (Flashback) Maru
    Of course, you can't top
    me in acting, though!
[08:50] (Flashback) Maria
    R-Really?
[08:52] (Flashback) Maru
    I guarantee it.
[08:54] (Flashback) Maru
    So grow up.
[08:59] (Flashback) Maria
    Okay. I'll try my best.
[09:02] (Flashback) Maria
    I'll try hard enough to catch up to you.
[09:04] (Flashback) Maria
    Will you wait for me until then?
[09:06] (Flashback) Maru
    Of course I will.
[09:08] Maria
    Onii-chan's shining light
    saved me from the darkness.
[09:13] Maria
    But one day, out of the blue...
[09:16] (Flashback) Maria
    You're amazing, Onii-chan! You're a hero!
[09:20] (Flashback) Maria
    There's no way you can give up acting!
[09:23] (Flashback) Maria
    Onii-chan!
[09:25] (Flashback) Maria
    Sueharu-oniichan!
[09:28] Maria
    Even when you're standing
    on a dazzling stage,
[09:31] Maria
    it's lonely by yourself.
[09:33] Maria
    I'm still within the darkness.
[09:39] Eri
    I'm home.
[09:40] Maria
    Welcome back, Onee-chan.
[09:42] Eri
    I brought home a meal from work.
     Let's eat it together.
[09:44] Maria
    You don't need to work part-time, you know.
[09:47] Maria
    You should enjoy your college life more.
[09:49] Eri
    It's more than enough that you're
    helping me pay my tuition.
[09:53] Eri
    The commercial contest is today, right?
[09:55] Eri
    You told me not to watch your commercial,
[09:58] Eri
    but I did anyway. Sorry.
[09:59] Maria
    You shouldn't have watched it!
     It's too embarrassing!
[10:05] Eri
    I liked it. It had a classic feel to it.
[10:08] Maria
    Our side is more capable,
[10:09] Maria
    so the idea was that a popular actress
    and high video quality should be enough.
[10:14] Maria
    It's how the ruling class fights.
[10:16] Eri
    Well, let's check out your beloved
    Sueharu-oniichan's video now.
[10:21] Maria
    Wait!

    against Hardy Shun, your father?
[16:56] Dad
    Did you approach Maru-chan because
[16:58] Dad
    he was the top star at the agency your
    despised father is connected to?
[17:07] Tetsu
    Well, the Ultramarine Alliance
    will be counting on your support.
[17:10] Dad
    I'll take care of all the legal matters.
[17:13] Dad
    See you next time.
[17:17] Tetsu
    This is why I hate adults.
[17:19] Abe
    I think I hate adults, too.
[17:22] Tetsu
    I'm sorry. Who are you?
[17:25] Tetsu
    Strangers are scary.
[17:26] Abe
    I was working on this
    behind the scenes, too,
[17:29] Abe
    so I wanted to know how it ended.
[17:30] Tetsu
    You were?
[17:32] Abe
    If Hardy Shun were to try anything,
[17:34] Abe
    I was to ask my dad to save you.

[17:37] Tetsu
    What the hell would you
    stand to gain from that?
[17:39] Abe
    Well, I want to see even
    more of Maru-kun in action.
[17:43] Tetsu
    And? What did you want to know?
[17:45] Abe
    The win and loss records
    of your principal members.
[17:48] Abe
    It can be from your own perspective.
[17:50] Tetsu
    And what's your judgment?
[17:51] Abe
    Total victory for Maru-kun
    and Shirokusa-chan, I think.
[17:55] Abe
    It boosted both of their
    reputations in the industry.
[17:57] Tetsu
    It's guaranteed that the scumbag
    president is the only loser here.
[18:01] Tetsu
    But I think the top winner was Shida-chan,
[18:04] Tetsu
    with me in second.
[18:05] Abe
    Shida-san was the top winner?
[18:09] (Flashback) Kuroha
    I don't want Haru to go into show business.
[18:13] (Flashback) Kuroha
    If you're going to take someone's side,
[18:16] (Flashback) Kuroha
    it's sure to be the most profitable one.
[18:19] (Flashback) Kuroha
    And this time, taking my side
    will best serve your purpose.
[18:22] (Flashback) Kuroha
    Am I wrong?
[18:23] (Flashback) Tetsu
    You really do have a good eye.
[18:26] (Flashback) Tetsu
    I want to get Sueharu to
    take part in my plan,
[18:29] (Flashback) Tetsu
    so I'll be taking your side in this.
[18:32] (Flashback) Kuroha
    I don't want our goals to end up clashing,
[18:35] (Flashback) Kuroha
    so let me ask this first.
[18:37] (Flashback) Kuroha
    What is your goal?
[18:41] (Flashback) Kuroha
    There's someone in show business
    that you don't like, right?
[18:46] (Flashback) Kuroha
    I've been thinking that must be
    why you're friends with Haru.
[18:51] (Flashback) Tetsu
    What makes you think that?
[18:55] (Flashback) Kuroha
    Just a hunch after seeing
    the way you've acted.
[18:58] (Flashback) Tetsu
    If you've figured out that much,
    I guess I can tell you a little.
[19:02] (Flashback) Tetsu
    The president of Sueharu's
    agency is a scumbag.
[19:05] (Flashback) Tetsu
    I kinda have a connection to him.
[19:08] (Flashback) Tetsu
    That's it.
[19:11] (Flashback) Kuroha
    I'm going to pretend I have amnesia.
[19:14] (Flashback) Tetsu
    Huh?
[19:15] (Flashback) Kuroha
    It's cowardly, but I think
    it's the best option.
[19:19] (Flashback) Kuroha
    If I have amnesia, Haru will try to help me.
[19:23] (Flashback) Kuroha
    Then, if I take my time
    getting closer to him,
[19:25] (Flashback) Kuroha
    I can erase his trauma.
[19:27] (Flashback) Tetsu
    You think you can do that?
[19:29] (Flashback) Kuroha
    It's not about whether I can or can't.
[19:31] (Flashback) Kuroha
    I'm going to.
[19:32] (Flashback) Kuroha
    If Haru goes to meet with
    that agency president,
[19:35] (Flashback) Kuroha
    I plan to go with him.
[19:37] (Flashback) Kuroha
    Haru hates it when people are
    mean to those close to him
[19:39] (Flashback) Kuroha
    even more than when they're mean to him,
[19:41] (Flashback) Kuroha
    so if the president is a
    scumbag like you say,
[19:45] (Flashback) Kuroha
    he's bound to say some nasty things.
[19:47] (Flashback) Kuroha
    If that happens, his return to
    acting is dead in the water.
[19:50] Tetsu
    Sueharu was so scared of Shida-chan,
    but suddenly he's back to normal.
[19:55] Tetsu
    Kachi had a huge advantage,
    but now they're both even.
[19:59] Tetsu
    No matter how you look at it,
    Shida-chan's the winner.
[20:02] Abe
    True.
[20:03] Tetsu
    And I don't need to explain
    why I'm second, right?
[20:07] Tetsu
    Just look at how the Ultramarine
    Alliance came together.
[20:10] Abe
    I will say that you did a great job there.
[20:13] Tetsu
    And there's one more who
    won big in all this.
[20:17] Maria
    So anyway,
[20:18] Maria
    I'm Momosaka Maria, and I've just
    transferred to this school.
[20:22] Maria
    I'm glad to meet you!
[20:23] Both
    What?!
[20:25] Kachi
    What's the meaning of this, Su-chan?!
[20:27] Kuroha
    Haru, explain!
[20:28] Maria
    Sueharu-oniichan said he wanted me here.
[20:32] Maru
    No, no! Momo asked me to save her!
[20:35] Maru
    She wanted to be rescued
    from that president!
[20:37] Maria
    No, I didn't.
[20:39] Maria
    Although I did get along
    poorly with Shun-san,
[20:42] Maria
    so it's true that the timing was perfect.
[20:45] Maru
    Huh? Wait, what are you saying?
[20:48] Maria
    I was just starved for love!
[20:51] Maria
    So I used quitting the
    agency as an opportunity
[20:54] Maria
    to rely on you to get me
    transferred into this school!
[20:57] Maria
    I hardly got to attend school at all while
    I was acting, so I'm really excited!
[21:03] Maria
    Let's continue to be good friends, okay,
[21:06] Maria
    Senpai?
[21:09] Both
    Huh?!
[21:11] Maru
    Oops! Forgot I had something to do...
[21:14] Kachi
    Su-chan!
[21:15] Kuroha
    Stop right there!
[21:18] Rena
    If you want Paisen, he's over there.
[21:20] Kuroha
    Thanks!
[21:21] Rena
    All good, Paisen.
[21:24] Maru
    You saved my skin, Rena.
[21:26] Rena
    For an older kid, you're a
    real handful, you know that?
[21:32] Rena
    By the way, Paisen, why are you
    friends with Tetsu-senpai?
[21:36] Rena
    All you guys do is fight.
[21:37] Maru
    Huh? Oh...
[21:39] Maru
    Well, when most people find
    out I was a child actor,
[21:42] Maru
    they expect me to do something for them.
[21:45] Maru
    But Tetsuhiko...
[21:47] Maru
    He's the only one who tries
    to do stuff with me.
[21:49] Maru
    Basically, he stands beside me.
[21:53] Maru
    That's why we're friends.
[21:56] Rena
    You and Tetsu-senpai are kind of alike, huh?
[22:00] Maru
    Don't say he and I are alike,
     even as a joke!
[22:03] Maru
    That actually hurts!
[22:05] Rena
    Wow, you're a pain.
[22:06] Kuroha
    Found you, Haru!
[22:08] Maru
    Kuro!
[22:21] Kuroha
    Haru, dinner tonight is
    Hamburg steaks, apparently.
[22:25] Kuroha
    That's your favorite, right? Aren't you lucky?
[22:27] Maru
    Seriously? I want some!
[22:33] Kuroha
    Oh, and she says I'm getting
    corn soup with watermelon!
[22:36] Kuroha
    Yay! My favorite!
[22:38] Maru
    Huh?
[22:39] Maru
    Kuro, your sense of taste is back?
[22:41] Kuroha
    Huh? Oh... Oh, yeah!
[22:44] Kuroha
    My sense of taste changed, didn't it?
[22:46] Kuroha
    That's been my favorite for a long time,
     so I was involuntarily happy.
[22:48] Kuroha
    Whoopsie.
[22:50] Maru
    What the heck, Kuro? You're such a klutz.
[22:53] Kuroha
    I'm still a whole lot less
    klutzy than you are.
[22:57] Maru
    Yes, yes, you're right.
[23:00] Kuroha
    You made a ton of careless
    mistakes on the last quiz.
[23:04] Kuroha
    Aren't your grades kind of in danger?
[23:08] Maru
    And yours have stayed near
    the top this whole time.
[23:11] Maru
    It's amazing.
[23:12] Kuroha
    It's a difference in effort.
[23:14] Kuroha
    You were always sleeping
    through our summer classes.
[23:17] Kuroha
    I saw you.
[23:18] Maru
    Huh? Kuro...
[23:20] Maru
    How can you remember our summer
    classes if you have amnesia?
[23:36] Maru
    Kuro!
