[00:00] ---
    SEPTEMBER 1st
[00:01] ---
    The eagerly awaited second term has begun.
[00:04] ---
    Mai was busy with show-biz work
    during summer break.
[00:08] ---
    On top of it, her agency
    forbid us from going on dates.
[00:11] ---
    So there were many days
    where I couldn't see her.
[00:13] ---
    Don't worry.
[00:14] ---
    Once the second term starts,
    we'll see each other normally at school.
[00:18] ---
    Those days are finally over!
[00:21] ---
    And yet...
[00:23] ---
    I don't see Mai-san anywhere.
[00:28] ---
    It doesn't look like she even came to school.
[00:36] ---
    Mai-san...
[00:41] ---
    Mai-san!
[00:46] ---
    Who are you?
[00:47] ---
    Eh?
[00:48] ---
    I'm asking, who are you?
[00:51] ---
    As you know, I am Sakuta Azusagawa,
    and I have a pure, innocent relationship with you.
[00:56] ---
    H-Huh!?
[00:58] ---
    A guy with dead eyes like that
    couldn't possibly be Big Sister's boyfriend.
[01:02] ---
    Big Sister? Who are you?
[01:05] ---
    She's Nodoka Toyohama.
[01:08] ---
    And, for now, I'm Mai Sakurajima.
[01:12] ---
    O-Oh! I-It really is you, Mai-san.
[01:15] ---
    You can tell from being stepped on?
    What kinda pervert are you?
[01:18] ---
    What exactly is the meaning of all this?
[01:20] ---
    It's a dream! A dream!
[01:22] ---
    It's not a dream.
    I somehow swapped bodies with her.
[01:26] ---
    Could it possibly be...
[01:28] ---
    Puberty Syndrome, I think.
[01:32] ---
    Again?
[03:08] ---
    Mai-san, what's the rent for this place?
[03:11] ---
    I don't pay rent. I bought it.
[03:13] ---
    More importantly, that's your reaction
    for your first time in your girlfriend's home?
[03:17] ---
    You should look happier.
[03:19] ---
    If the situation wasn't what it is...
[03:21] ---
    If this isn't a dream, then what is it?
[03:24] ---
    It's a lie. It's all a lie!
[03:26] ---
    You should hurry up and accept reality.
[03:29] ---
    Wasn't Nodoka Toyohama...
[03:32] ---
    Doka-chan, what's your favorite thing?
[03:34] ---
    I like the actress Mai Sakurajima.
[03:37] ---
    She's in that idol group,
    "Sweet Palette" or something?
[03:40] ---
    Not "Pallete" with a P, but "Bullet."
    "Sweet Bullet!"
[03:43] ---
    How are you two related?
[03:46] ---
    I said before that I had a little sister, right?
[03:48] ---
    A half-sister on my dad's side,
    after he remarried.
[03:52] ---
    Why is said little sister here?
[03:55] ---
    She suddenly came to my place
    late last night.
[03:58] ---
    She said she didn't want to go home.
[04:00] ---
    And our bodies were swapped
    after waking up this morning.
[04:02] ---
    What's up with all that...
[04:05] ---
    Toyohama-san, do you have any clues why?
[04:07] ---
    Huh? Clues?
[04:09] ---
    Clues as to why you swapped bodies
    with my Mai-san.
[04:12] ---
    And who is "my Mai-san?"
[04:14] ---
    Ouch...
[04:15] ---
    I have no idea!
[04:17] ---
    More like, why are both of you so cal—
[04:20] ---
    How do you stay calm!?
[04:21] ---
    Physical bodies swapping?
    That's absolutely, positively, perfectly abnormal!
[04:26] ---
    Right.
[04:27] ---
    Wait, that's all? Big Si—
[04:29] ---
    Mai-san, you're all right with this?
    With this situation?
[04:32] ---
    For better or worse, it's already happened,
    so we have to live with it.
[04:36] ---
    Anyways, until we return to normal,
    I'll live as Nodoka.
[04:40] ---
    Nodoka, you have to live as me.
[04:44] ---
    This is all I have for work.
[04:46] ---
    A fashion magazine shoot, some interviews,
    and a commercial filming.
[04:50] ---
    That's surprisingly little work.
[04:52] ---
    I cut back for the second term,
    so a certain someone wouldn't feel lonely.
[04:56] ---
    It's useless if the dating ban hasn't been lifted.
[04:59] ---
    Nodoka's schedule is packed.
[05:01] ---
    It's not real work.
    They're mostly song and dance lessons.
[05:05] ---
    Sweet Bullet has a gig
    at the end of the month.
[05:08] ---
    I hope we can return back before then...
[05:11] ---
    I don't have song and dance experience,
    so it'll be rough to learn it all.
[05:15] ---
    What about you?
[05:16] ---
    Yeah, I've done photo shoots
    and interviews before.
[05:20] ---
    But filming commercials...
[05:21] ---
    The director is the type to be strict to the script,
    so you'll be fine if you're prepared.
[05:26] ---
    Oh, you can go home now, Sakuta.
[05:28] ---
    Eh? What'll happen to my
    lovey-dovey life with you, Mai-san?
[05:32] ---
    Let's meet up at 7:50 tomorrow morning.
[05:35] ---
    I'd like you to take Nodoka to school.
[05:39] ---
    SEPTEMBER 2nd
[05:49] ---
    Nasuno and Hayate are one step ahead!
[05:52] ---
    It's the duty of a little sister
    to wake up her big brother.
[05:55] ---
    Morning, Kaede.
[05:57] ---
    Kaede wants to be a cat, too.
[06:00] ---
    And if Kaede were to swap bodies with a cat,
    it'd make even less sense.
[06:07] ---
    Um, I should have asked this first, but...
[06:10] ---
    Isn't it impossible for me
    to pretend that I'm Mai-san?
[06:14] ---
    Close friends would notice right away
    that I'm acting odd.
[06:17] ---
    Don't worry, Mai-san doesn't have any friends.
[06:20] ---
    Huh?
[06:21] ---
    What's that?
    You're in the same boat.
[06:24] ---
    I have friends. Three of them, even.
[06:27] ---
    There you have it.
    It'll be easy pretending to be me at school.
[06:34] ---
    Sit quiet in class,
    and go home when it's done.
[06:36] ---
    No need to talk with anyone.
[06:38] ---
    O-Okay...
[06:40] ---
    Well... It's the same for me.
[06:43] ---
    When my record debut was confirmed last year,
    I lost all time to hang with my school friends.
[06:48] ---
    Two friendless sisters... It's too sad.
[06:52] ---
    Well then, I'll head to Nodoka's school.
[06:55] ---
    Was it a rich girls' school in Yokohama?
[06:58] ---
    About Nodoka, I have a good clue why,
    but can you ask what happened?
[07:03] ---
    I think I'm the reason this happened.
[07:05] ---
    It's rough having a big sister
    that everyone in the country knows.
[07:10] ---
    That, and stories of how prideful
    both our mothers are.
[07:14] ---
    I didn't mention before?
[07:16] ---
    My mother made me join a troupe
    out of spite for her ex-husband...
[07:20] ---
    ...and his new wife, Nodoka's mother.
[07:23] ---
    I hadn't heard that.
[07:25] ---
    When she found out, Nodoka's mother
    forced her daughter into one, as well.
[07:30] ---
    I see. So the daughters are pawns
    in their proxy war.
[07:37] ---
    What were you talking about?
[07:39] ---
    You want to know?
[07:40] ---
    Annoying.
[07:42] ---
    Come to think, is it fine
    to send Mai-san to school like that?
[07:46] ---
    Huh?
[07:46] ---
    I'm asking if the idol Nodoka Toyohama
    won't cause a panic riding trains like everyone else.
[07:52] ---
    Are you mocking me?
[07:54] ---
    I'm actually worried about you.
[07:57] ---
    It's totally fine.
[07:59] ---
    You say I'm an idol, but we're not that popular.
[08:02] ---
    Nobody knows anything about me...
[08:10] ---
    Class 3-1, okay?
[08:11] ---
    I know.
[08:12] ---
    My seat's on the window side,
    second from the back.
[08:15] ---
    And I just need to quietly listen to class, right?
[08:18] ---
    You sure can act the part.
[08:21] ---
    The speech and expressions
    are just like Mai-san's.
[08:25] ---
    I impersonated her often as a kid.
[08:29] ---
    She was my pride, and who I looked up to.
[08:34] ---
    Setting aside the examinations
    of what's going on...
[08:38] ---
    For this case, aren't the clues
    to solve this out in the open?
[08:43] ---
    Meaning?
[08:44] ---
    I believe that Puberty Syndrome
    is caused by one's unstable mental state.
[08:50] ---
    Well, that's the logical step.
[08:52] ---
    If I can imagine where the issue stems from
    by listening to the circumstances,
[08:58] ---
    you'd obviously have a clue about it,
    wouldn't you?
[09:01] ---
    To describe it in a sentence...
[09:02] ---
    "An inferiority complex
    against a gifted big sister."
[09:05] ---
    But still, how do you get over that?
[09:09] ---
    Maybe she just needs to become
    a nationally popular idol?
[09:21] ---
    Girls taking off their tights is kinda erotic.
[09:24] ---
    D-Don't watch, dummy!
[09:29] ---
    Feels good!
[09:31] ---
    What's with this beach? It's the best!
[09:34] ---
    It indeed is the best.
[09:38] ---
    Why do you keep staring at my legs!?
[09:40] ---
    They're wonderful.
[09:41] ---
    Don't look at Big Sister's body with lewd eyes!
[09:44] ---
    I want them to sandwich me.
[09:47] ---
    Specifically, I mean my face.
[09:49] ---
    The thought that it's okay if it's your head
    is totally crazy. You should die.
[09:52] ---
    If it was Mai-san, she'd say, "Sandwiching a
    young boy's head with my legs is nothing."
[09:59] ---
    Big Sis, what part of this guy
    do you like so much?
[10:07] ---
    Say, why don't you call Mai-san "Big Sis"
    when she's around?
[10:12] ---
    You sometimes call her "Mai-san",
    and you speak somewhat politely...
[10:16] ---
    Of course. In show-biz,
    she's a great senpai to me.
[10:20] ---
    Is that all?
[10:21] ---
    That's all.
[10:23] ---
    Then why did you run away from home
    to end up at her place?
[10:27] ---
    If it were me,
    I'd seek someone more familiar.
[10:30] ---
    I'm not like you.
[10:34] ---
    Don't you have something
    you want to tell her?
[10:37] ---
    For instance, something like,
    "I hate you, Big Sister!"
[10:41] ---
    No!
[10:42] ---
    No...
[10:44] ---
    Well, isn't it fine?
[10:46] ---
    The fact that you ran away from home
    likely means you're in a fight with your parents.
[10:50] ---
    If you said the reason was Mai-san,
    then of course you'd start hating her.
[10:55] ---
    What is it... What is it with you!?
[10:59] ---
    I haven't said anything!
[11:01] ---
    You don't need to tell me
    to understand that much.
[11:04] ---
    Mai-san probably has a general idea, too.
[11:06] ---
    No way...
[11:10] ---
    Well, you should have a proper talk
    with Mai-san when you get home.
[11:14] ---
    See ya.
[11:15] ---
    Hold on.
[11:16] ---
    What is it?
[11:17] ---
    Can I sleep at your place for a while?
    I can't go back to Big Sister's place after all this.
[11:22] ---
    How will you explain that to her?
[11:24] ---
    You could come up with some good excuse...
[11:26] ---
    What's wrong?
[11:29] ---
    Toyohama-san wants to sleep over at my place.
[11:32] ---
    The reason?
[11:34] ---
    Well, let's see...
[11:35] ---
    Wait. I'll say it.
[11:41] ---
    I've always, ever since I was little...
    been compared.
[11:47] ---
    Every audition I went to,
    they always chose you.
[11:50] ---
    And each time, Mom would get mad at me.
[11:53] ---
    She'd say, "Why can't you do
    what Mai-chan can do?"
[11:57] ---
    While you were on hiatus from show-biz,
[12:00] ---
    I was finally able to debut
    as part of Sweet Bullet.
[12:03] ---
    Mom got a tiny bit kinder
    and complimented me.
[12:07] ---
    But...
[12:08] ---
    But what's this about
    resuming show-biz work?
[12:11] ---
    You got a good role in a special drama,
[12:13] ---
    landed a lot of commercials,
[12:14] ---
    and I see you on the cover of
    fashion magazines every single month!
[12:17] ---
    Why do you keep getting in my way!?
[12:19] ---
    You easily accomplish what I
    am finally able to do.
[12:23] ---
    You're the one that everyone
    is watching all the time!
[12:25] ---
    Don't make all of my effort go to waste!
[12:29] ---
    I hate you!
[12:31] ---
    I hate you, Big Sister!
[12:35] ---
    I see. I'm glad.
[12:38] ---
    I hated you too, Nodoka.
[12:40] ---
    Though, it's all thanks to our insensitive father.
[12:44] ---
    Not only did he leave us, he was the one
    who first brought us together.
[12:49] ---
    It's not particularly your fault,
    but you must know that I have ill feelings, too.
[13:01] ---
    Is it really all right?
    For you to sleep over, I mean.
[13:05] ---
    I can't have Nodoka sleeping over
    at your place.
[13:08] ---
    Well, you have a point, but...
[13:12] ---
    Welcome home, Big Brot—
[13:16] ---
    Big Brother has gone delinquent.
[13:19] ---
    No, I haven't.
[13:20] ---
    Big Brother has turned into a gigolo.
[13:22] ---
    What kind of interpretation is that?
[13:25] ---
    You have yet another new girl with you.
[13:28] ---
    She's Mai-san's little sister.
    She'll be staying with us for a while.
[13:32] ---
    Nice to meet you. I'm Nodoka Toyohama!
[13:43] ---
    In the future, if I were to marry Mai-san...
[13:48] ---
    Nodoka Toyohama would be a little sister...
    Rather, sister-in-law.
[13:52] ---
    But she's actually Mai's half-sister,
    so she'd be a half-sister-in-law...
[13:58] ---
    What's the right way
    to address people like her?
[14:02] ---
    You sure took your time.
    Were you thinking about me or something?
[14:06] ---
    I'm always thinking about you, Mai-san.
[14:09] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[14:10] ---
    Actually, I was just engrossed in
    playing the submarine game.
[14:14] ---
    Huh? Do you know what that game is?
[14:19] ---
    Those wounds aren't going away.
[14:23] ---
    Would you like to touch them?
[14:24] ---
    Why would I?
[14:25] ---
    Because I want you to touch them.
[14:27] ---
    Stop speaking nonsense
    and put your clothes on.
[14:29] ---
    We're in trouble if your naked body
    gets burned into Nodoka's memory.
[14:33] ---
    She's not a child, either.
[14:35] ---
    She's still quite the child.
[14:36] ---
    And who was it that had
    a huge argument with said child?
[14:40] ---
    That was...
[14:42] ---
    I think it's best to be honest.
[14:45] ---
    I don't want to hear sound logic.
[15:34] ---
    Hayate, were you being a good kitty?
[15:40] ---
    Makinohara, you don't have a big sister, right?
[15:43] ---
    Yes. I'm an only child.
[15:46] ---
    But, sometimes I long for one,
    wishing it'd be nice to have a wonderful big sister.
[15:51] ---
    Kaede would also be happy
    to have a wonderful big sister.
[15:54] ---
    But only if she's older than Big Brother.
[15:57] ---
    Kaede is the only little sister for Big Brother!
[16:05] ---
    SEPTEMBER 10th
[16:06] ---
    You're filming the commercial
    starting tomorrow morning?
[16:09] ---
    How's this smile?
[16:11] ---
    Wouldn't it be better to ask Mai-san
    for stuff like that?
[16:14] ---
    I didn't mention her.
[16:16] ---
    If that's the case, it troubles
    an amateur like me when you ask.
[16:19] ---
    Then I won't ask.
[16:22] ---
    Oh, good morning, Senpai.
[16:25] ---
    Is Mai-san on that issue?
[16:27] ---
    I'm not giving it to you. I haven't read it all yet.
[16:31] ---
    I still need to study it.
[16:33] ---
    That's fine. I'll just look at the real deal.
[16:36] ---
    Senpai...
[16:38] ---
    That line was super creepy.
[16:44] ---
    Welcome...
[16:49] ---
    Mai-san, what's wrong?
[16:51] ---
    I thought I should eat something
    before my singing practice.
[16:55] ---
    I could get hungry.
[16:57] ---
    Is that Toyohama's smartphone?
[17:00] ---
    A text from Nodoka's mother.
[17:03] ---
    I've gotten about 50 of them today,
    since this morning.
[17:04] ---
    - Hurry and come home.
    - Are you going to your vocal lessons?
    - Be mindful of your time
[17:10] ---
    One of these, please.
[17:11] ---
    Spaghetti with tomato sauce, was it?
[17:14] ---
    In preparation for tomorrow's
    commercial shoot,
[17:16] ---
    she was practicing hard
    to make the right expressions.
[17:19] ---
    What's this so suddenly?
[17:21] ---
    I thought that's actually why
    you came by to hear.
[17:24] ---
    Actually, I stopped by to see my boyfriend's face.
[17:27] ---
    Man, I'm so happy.
[17:29] ---
    You can be genuinely grateful.
[17:31] ---
    If you have any advice, I'll relay it.
[17:34] ---
    Did Nodoka say she wanted some?
[17:36] ---
    No.
[17:36] ---
    Then, I won't give any.
[17:38] ---
    So she's on your mind after all.
[17:40] ---
    It's fine. If she can remember what
    she was taught in the troupe,
[17:45] ---
    she'll make it through, no problem.
[17:46] ---
    SEPTEMBER 12th
[18:00] ---
    Can't help being sleepy,
    so early in the morning...
[18:02] ---
    Mai Sakurajima-san is on the set!
[18:06] ---
    Good morning!
[18:07] ---
    Thank you all for your hard work.
[18:11] ---
    We're going in with the camera test
    before the train comes in!
[18:15] ---
    All right, let's go.
[18:17] ---
    And... Start!
[18:23] ---
    Okay, cut!
[18:31] ---
    We'll wait for a train to pass,
    then we'll film!
[18:49] ---
    Is she all right?
[18:51] ---
    All right, starting takes.
[18:53] ---
    Take one!
[19:07] ---
    Stop the cameras!
[19:08] ---
    Mai-san? Mai-san?
[19:11] ---
    Calm down! Breathe slowly!
[19:13] ---
    All right, she's conscious.
[19:15] ---
    Hurry up!
[19:20] ---
    Sakuta...
[19:22] ---
    Running again today?
[19:24] ---
    I'm increasing stamina for the gig.
[19:26] ---
    Anyways, how'd the shoot go?
[19:28] ---
    Look at this depressed look on my face.
[19:30] ---
    I realize it didn't go that well,
    but it ended after some retakes, right?
[19:35] ---
    No, the problem was before that.
[19:38] ---
    She got dizzy before the first take,
    and collapsed.
[19:40] ---
    Huh?
[19:41] ---
    They cancelled the shoot.
[19:44] ---
    The staff was saying
    she probably just hyperventilated.
[19:47] ---
    Why did...
[19:49] ---
    It became painfully obvious to her...
[19:51] ---
    How much trust and expectation
    people put on Mai Sakurajima.
[19:57] ---
    You don't get it?
[19:59] ---
    She felt pressured by everything
    of that nature, I'm sure...
[20:07] ---
    You seem to be in a bad mood.
    What's wrong?
[20:10] ---
    Nothing, really. Just had a thought.
[20:13] ---
    About how I'd feel if I had
    a big sister that could do anything.
[20:17] ---
    What's with that?
[20:18] ---
    I've never experienced
    being compared to a big sister.
[20:22] ---
    Then do you want to ask someone
    who has a big sister that can do anything?
[20:34] ---
    What?
[20:35] ---
    Sakuta said he had something to ask you.
[20:38] ---
    Kamisato, do you have a big sister?
[20:41] ---
    I do, but...
[20:42] ---
    Wait, why don't you know about her?
[20:44] ---
    And why should I know about
    what goes on in your family?
[20:48] ---
    Big Sister attended this school until last year.
[20:51] ---
    She was also the student council president,
    so I'm sure you saw her around.
[20:54] ---
    I don't remember her.
[20:55] ---
    Can I go now?
[20:56] ---
    Can you try a bit harder?
[20:58] ---
    So your sister was brilliant?
[21:00] ---
    She got into the best national university
    in Japan on her first year trying.
[21:04] ---
    Do you like your big sister?
[21:07] ---
    Not really.
[21:08] ---
    Then you hate her?
[21:09] ---
    Not really.
[21:10] ---
    I see. I get it now.
[21:12] ---
    Huh? What are you saying you understand?
[21:15] ---
    So it's not something as simple
    as liking or hating...
[21:20] ---
    It's not like I hate her or anything.
[21:23] ---
    I'm just annoyed that Mom keeps saying I should
    take her as an example and study more.
[21:39] ---
    Mai-san...
[21:41] ---
    Here you go.
[21:42] ---
    A key to my place.
[21:44] ---
    You're giving me a spare key?
[21:45] ---
    I can't give you a spare key that easily.
    You're so disgusting.
[21:48] ---
    Ouch, ouch!
[21:49] ---
    I'm lending it to you, only briefly.
    I'm counting on you.
[21:53] ---
    If she's still on your mind,
    you should go and talk to her.
[21:58] ---
    I just don't know what to say to her.
[22:00] ---
    You can include that as part of what to tell her.
[22:02] ---
    I don't want to.
[22:04] ---
    Well, you still have to save face
    as the big sister...
[22:08] ---
    Then, I'll be going now.
[22:10] ---
    Hold on.
[22:11] ---
    What is it?
[22:14] ---
    Never, ever open the cabinets
    in the Japanese-style room.
[22:17] ---
    Never, ever?
[22:26] ---
    Never, ever, huh?
[22:34] ---
    Yes?
[22:35] ---
    It's Azusagawa.
[22:37] ---
    What is it?
[22:38] ---
    Can I come in?
[22:41] ---
    Even if I can't, I'll help myself in
    with the spare key Mai-san lent me.
[22:46] ---
    Um... Did Big Sister say anything?
[22:50] ---
    Not really. She wasn't worried at all.
[22:53] ---
    She thought you would have
    several outtakes,
[22:56] ---
    but she had no doubt you'd be able
    to get a good take out of that director.
[23:01] ---
    Really?
[23:02] ---
    You know, you should just smile like that.
[23:05] ---
    Huh?
[23:06] ---
    For that commercial shoot.
[23:08] ---
    While you were practicing,
    you forced yourself to smile like Mai-san.
[23:11] ---
    But it looked really fake, to be blunt.
[23:15] ---
    In any case...
[23:17] ---
    This is horrible.
[23:20] ---
    She couldn't possibly have anticipated this
    in giving me the spare key...
[23:24] ---
    Have you eaten?
[23:25] ---
    I haven't eaten since morning.
[23:27] ---
    Then I'll make something,
    so you can freshen up by taking a bath first.
[23:31] ---
    Don't peek.
[23:32] ---
    Are you asking me to peek in?
[23:34] ---
    Of course not! Die!
[24:55] ---
    Nothing less from you, Sakuta.
    What a rascal.
[24:57] ---
