**[00:07] ---**
Sasaki-*senpai*, good morning.
**[00:10] ---**
Morning, Mya-*chan*.
**[00:12] ---**
You're here early today.
**[00:14] ---**
Yeah. I got a summons from Hirano.
**[00:17] ---**
A "summons?"
**[00:18] ---**
You know how exams are coming up?
**[00:21] ---**
See, my grades aren't so good,
so Hirano is helping me study.
**[00:26] ---**
Since he has a curfew as a
dorm student, it has to be early.
**[00:30] ---**
I see.
**[00:35] ---**
Mya-*chan*, are you free for a bit?
**[00:39] ---**
Hirano says he'll be late.
**[00:42] ---**
Join me for some cocoa.
**[00:44] ---**
I still haven't shared my thoughts
about the last manga I borrowed.
**[01:03] ---**
"Sasaki and Miyano"
**[02:17] ---**
"Cocoa"
**[02:21] ---**
"Episode 3: 'Senpai Is...'"
Are you okay?
**[02:22] ---**
"Episode 3: 'Senpai Is...'"
Yeah.
**[02:23] ---**
"Episode 3: 'Senpai Is...'"
Senpai, are you cat-tongued?
**[02:27] ---**
You mean like I'm one of those people
who has trouble consuming hot stuff?
**[02:32] ---**
Mya-*chan*, you're grinning.
**[02:34] ---**
D-Don't look at me!
**[02:37] ---**
Why do you ask?
**[02:39] ---**
U-Um, well, on TV they said cat-tongued
people are clumsy with their tongues.
**[02:45] ---**
Oh?
**[02:47] ---**
That made me think that maybe
that means they're clumsy kissers.
**[02:53] ---**
Wha...?
**[02:54] ---**
I'd been thinking that in BL,
they'd be taught how to kiss.
**[03:00] ---**
So the cat-tongued *moe* made me want
to ask what it's like to be cat-tongued.
**[03:05] ---**
Huh... I still don't understand
the thought process of a... *fudanshi*?
**[03:11] ---**
Hmm, in that case,
Mya-*chan*, ya wanna find out?
**[03:16] ---**
Find out what?
**[03:18] ---**
Whether I'm clumsy.
**[03:20] ---**
"Beh"
**[03:23] ---**
I didn't mean it like that!
**[03:25] ---**
I'm not looking for a BL experience!
**[03:29] ---**
Oh, Senpai, about the next manga.
**[03:32] ---**
Mya-*chan*, how many manga do you have?
**[03:35] ---**
I d-don't have all *that* many.
**[03:37] ---**
I feel like I've borrowed a whole lot.
**[03:39] ---**
It's not like I'm lending you
one every day.
**[03:42] ---**
Well, that's true.
**[03:44] ---**
Um, here.
**[03:46] ---**
It's part of a series.
There are more than ten.
**[03:50] ---**
But since tastes differ, I wanted you
to read just the first few for now.
**[03:53] ---**
Okay...
**[03:55] ---**
For real, how many does he have?
**[03:57] ---**
I feel like I've borrowed at least 30.
**[04:01] ---**
Thanks for the cocoa.
**[04:03] ---**
Well, I better get going now.
**[04:05] ---**
Oh, okay.
**[04:12] ---**
I'm not looking for a BL experience!
**[04:21] ---**
I'm dying to touch him...
**[04:26] ---**
I didn't mean it like that.
**[04:29] ---**
I really didn't.
**[04:31] ---**
But if you look at it
from an outside perspective...
**[04:35] ---**
Do you think being clumsy with your tongue
means you're also a clumsy kisser?
**[04:42] ---**
Ya wanna find out?
**[04:44] ---**
I-I didn't mean it like that...
**[04:48] ---**
It's unquestionably BL...
a hinting invitation!
**[04:52] ---**
What now?
**[04:53] ---**
Miyano, about this worksheet...
**[04:56] ---**
What's wrong?
**[04:57] ---**
I don't know what kind of face
to make in this situation.
**[05:00] ---**
Well you're making a despair face...
**[05:03] ---**
Never mind. I'll solve it myself.
**[05:09] ---**
Goodness.
**[05:10] ---**
You're so cute, Mya-*chan*.
**[05:13] ---**
Wanna go out?
**[05:14] ---**
What? No.
**[05:17] ---**
I've wondered ever since.
Is he joking? Or is he serious?
**[05:22] ---**
For a joke it seems a little too...
**[05:26] ---**
If there's someone I like,
I want to know them.
**[05:31] ---**
What did Senpai mean
when he said those things?
**[05:38] ---**
--Oh.
--What is it?
**[05:40] ---**
I forgot to give Sasaki
one of the volumes.
**[05:43] ---**
You two are still doing the manga thing?
**[05:45] ---**
Yeah.
**[05:46] ---**
You could probably still
catch him in his classroom.
**[05:49] ---**
Do you mind if I go give it to him?
**[05:51] ---**
Not at all. I'll be
waiting by the entrance.
**[05:53] ---**
Okay.
**[05:56] ---**
Well, this is the second one, and with
exams he might not have time for it,
**[06:03] ---**
so it could totally wait.
**[06:05] ---**
But I really...
**[06:07] ---**
I really want him to read them together.
**[06:09] ---**
This series gets exceptionally
good with volume 2!
**[06:14] ---**
Oh, good. He's still here.
**[06:18] ---**
--Senpa--
--Dude, you're reading BL?
**[06:22] ---**
What?
**[06:24] ---**
You into that or something?
**[06:26] ---**
What do I do?
**[06:27] ---**
Once you give it a try, you see
there're some pretty good ones.
**[06:31] ---**
What do I do?
**[06:32] ---**
Ain't it weird that it's two guys in love?
**[06:34] ---**
--People are getting the wrong idea
--It could just be a guy and a girl.
**[06:36] ---**
because of me!
**[06:37] ---**
I don't really know about that, but...
**[06:41] ---**
I think BL is what made
this story possible.
**[06:44] ---**
It's good the way it is.
I don't see a problem.
**[06:52] ---**
I just don't see what's good about BL.
**[06:55] ---**
How come ya got such
strong feelings about BL?
**[06:59] ---**
It's my girlfriend. She's a *fujoshi*!
**[07:01] ---**
Listen to this, Sasaki.
**[07:03] ---**
I found BL under her pillow!
**[07:06] ---**
Yeah. Okay.
**[07:16] ---**
What're you running for? Was Senpai there?
**[07:20] ---**
He was.
**[07:22] ---**
But... I decided to give it
to him next week.
**[07:27] ---**
Or I guess I should say, um...
**[07:32] ---**
S-Sasaki-senpai was so cool that, um...
**[07:40] ---**
Ow.
**[07:41] ---**
Yeah, Sasaki-*senpai* is cool.
Now put on your shoes.
**[07:46] ---**
Th-That's right. He's cool!
**[07:52] ---**
I think Sasaki-*senpai* is cool.
**[07:56] ---**
I have since that moment.
**[08:04] ---**
The future plans form is due Monday.
**[08:09] ---**
Miyano, do you need to buy lunch?
**[08:11] ---**
I bought mine this morning.
**[08:14] ---**
All right. I'll be back, then.
**[08:16] ---**
Okay.
**[08:20] ---**
I'm cold.
**[08:23] ---**
What do I do?
**[08:24] ---**
I still haven't given him the next volume.
**[08:28] ---**
I don't see a problem.
**[08:30] ---**
Senpai seemed fine, but what if a
classmate makes comments to him again?
**[08:36] ---**
See, I'd never read
that kind of manga before.
**[08:41] ---**
So yeah, it did catch me off guard,
but it was good!
**[08:45] ---**
But...
**[08:46] ---**
Is Miyano here?
**[08:47] ---**
Uh, yes. He's the one
curled up over there.
**[08:51] ---**
Senpai.
**[08:52] ---**
Taking a nap, Mya-*chan*?
**[08:54] ---**
No, I was just kinda cold.
**[08:56] ---**
Oh, so that's why you were curled up?
**[09:01] ---**
Oh, right. Here. Thanks.
**[09:04] ---**
It was good.
**[09:05] ---**
Oh, thanks.
**[09:08] ---**
The *seme* was the opposite of what
I first expected. That surprised me.
**[09:13] ---**
And...
**[09:16] ---**
Mya-*chan*?
**[09:24] ---**
Let's find out.
**[09:27] ---**
What's wr--
**[09:30] ---**
Um...
**[09:33] ---**
I can't speak...
**[09:37] ---**
I'll put this away.
**[09:39] ---**
Right. Yeah.
**[09:45] ---**
Hey, Mya-*chan*, let's leave together today.
And drop by the bookstore.
**[09:51] ---**
Why?
**[09:53] ---**
Doesn't the new issue of
something come out tomorrow?
**[09:57] ---**
They might have it already.
**[10:00] ---**
He's got me marked.
**[10:01] ---**
Or do you have stuff you need to do?
**[10:05] ---**
No, I... don't have anything.
**[10:08] ---**
Then, it's a plan?
**[10:13] ---**
Yes.
**[10:14] ---**
Oh, hey, what about
the rest of that manga?
**[10:17] ---**
Huh?
**[10:18] ---**
Is there only one volume?
**[10:20] ---**
Didn't you say something
about reading the first few?
**[10:25] ---**
Well...
**[10:28] ---**
Um, here.
**[10:30] ---**
Thanks.
**[10:32] ---**
I'll let you know when I've read it.
**[10:34] ---**
See ya later.
**[10:35] ---**
Bye.
**[10:45] ---**
I lent him another one...
**[10:49] ---**
I wanted you to read
just the first few for now.
**[10:55] ---**
I'm back, Miyano.
**[10:57] ---**
Hellooo. Wake up, little roly poly.
**[11:00] ---**
Call me that again and I'll tell your
girlfriend your potential BL bromances.
**[11:04] ---**
No. She'd love that too much.
**[11:13] ---**
I'm hot.
**[11:16] ---**
"Monday, March 14th"
"Don't forget about White Day chocolates!"
**[11:24] ---**
A month can fly by so fast.
**[11:26] ---**
Morning, Miyano.
**[11:28] ---**
Morning.
**[11:29] ---**
Wait, what's all *that*?
**[11:32] ---**
White Day gifts for my girlfriend.
**[11:34] ---**
I'll see her after school.
**[11:36] ---**
Oh, it's for your girlfriend.
**[11:38] ---**
Not for our class.
**[11:39] ---**
The class exchanged
chocolates on Valentine's day.
**[11:43] ---**
Only people who forgot the first time
would bring stuff today.
**[11:46] ---**
Of course. Yeah.
**[11:50] ---**
Did you bring stuff?
**[11:51] ---**
N-No, of course not!
**[11:55] ---**
I didn't bring anything.
**[11:58] ---**
For the class, anyway.
**[12:01] ---**
"2 Days Earlier"
**[12:02] ---**
"2 Days Earlier"
I've almost gotten through it all.
**[12:06] ---**
I made the most progress
while studying for exams.
**[12:09] ---**
"5-Yen chocolate"
"How big the 320 Yen feels"
**[12:11] ---**
"5-Yen chocolate"
"How big the 320 Yen feels"
But Senpai's chocolates
are weighing on me...
**[12:15] ---**
Do I not need to give something in return?
**[12:19] ---**
It *was* an exchange...
**[12:22] ---**
The class isn't doing return gifts...
**[12:25] ---**
You could say I've
already repaid the gift,
**[12:28] ---**
so I probably don't
need to worry about it...
**[12:31] ---**
"I-It's White Day,
so I'd like you to have this."
But...
**[12:33] ---**
"I-It's White Day,
so I'd like you to have this."
**[12:37] ---**
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I can't look to BL for the answer!
**[12:44] ---**
See ya. I'm heading out.
**[12:46] ---**
Okay. Bye-bye.
**[12:48] ---**
I guess I'll just head home.
**[12:57] ---**
Fine!
**[13:02] ---**
Hirano-*senpai*.
**[13:05] ---**
Miyano.
**[13:05] ---**
Um, is Sasaki-*senpai* still here?
**[13:09] ---**
Yeah. I'll get him for you. One sec.
**[13:14] ---**
Thank you.
**[13:16] ---**
Sasaki.
**[13:18] ---**
Yeah?
**[13:22] ---**
Oh? Mya-*chan*, what's up?
**[13:25] ---**
U-Um...
**[13:31] ---**
Not so loud, or the
teachers will complain.
**[13:34] ---**
We're having a snack party since
exams are over. Let's find a quiet spot.
**[13:38] ---**
A snack party...
**[13:40] ---**
So? What brings you by, Mya-*chan*?
**[13:44] ---**
I haven't finished that manga yet.
**[13:47] ---**
Oh, that's fine. It's something else.
**[13:51] ---**
Um...
**[14:00] ---**
Th-This is for White Day.
**[14:08] ---**
Huh?
**[14:09] ---**
Um, you're the only one outside
my class who gave me chocolates.
**[14:13] ---**
And it's also as thanks in general.
**[14:15] ---**
And although we did an exchange, um,
**[14:18] ---**
girls sometimes give gifts
on White Day, too.
**[14:22] ---**
So I, uh...
**[14:28] ---**
Senpai?
**[14:35] ---**
Thanks.
**[14:37] ---**
Who else did you...
**[14:39] ---**
Oh, nobody else.
**[14:42] ---**
Oh, okay.
**[14:45] ---**
Um, hold on. I'll give you something, too.
**[14:47] ---**
Huh? Um...
**[14:50] ---**
Wait there. I'll be right back.
**[14:53] ---**
I win.
**[14:53] ---**
Damn, dude!
**[15:00] ---**
Hey. What's going on?
**[15:11] ---**
What do I do? My heart won't stop.
**[15:14] ---**
Good. You'd be dead if it did.
**[15:17] ---**
It's pounding.
**[15:19] ---**
You out of shape or something?
**[15:21] ---**
No...
**[15:23] ---**
"Later"
**[15:25] ---**
Pick a snack.
**[15:28] ---**
We got all kinds of stuff.
**[15:31] ---**
Then... I'll take this...
**[15:34] ---**
This concludes the closing ceremony.
**[15:35] ---**
"Friday, March 18th"
This concludes the closing ceremony.
**[15:37] ---**
"Friday, March 18th"
Let's all go to Disneyland
during the break!
**[15:40] ---**
I'm already going with my girlfriend.
**[15:42] ---**
Is your girlfriend the only one in
your world? You could go another day.
**[15:48] ---**
Mya-*chan*.
**[15:51] ---**
Did you spot someone?
**[15:52] ---**
Uh, yeah.
**[15:54] ---**
Sasaki-*senpai*?
**[15:55] ---**
Uh-huh.
**[15:59] ---**
Keep moving.
**[16:02] ---**
Senpai will be graduating next year.
**[16:05] ---**
That's right...
**[16:08] ---**
Sasaki-*senpai* will graduate before me.
**[16:14] ---**
Just... one more year...
**[16:24] ---**
Miyano.
**[16:25] ---**
Hir--it's black!
**[16:27] ---**
I don't like where this is going.
Not another word.
**[16:30] ---**
Hello, Hirano-*senpai*.
**[16:32] ---**
Hey.
**[16:33] ---**
Hirano-*senpai*, what's going on?
**[16:37] ---**
Oh, that was Hirano-*senpai*?!
**[16:39] ---**
What was?
**[16:40] ---**
You have to dye it back for the
closing ceremony. Pictures and all.
**[16:45] ---**
Sakaki is getting lectured as we speak.
**[16:48] ---**
It'll be blond again next time you see me.
**[16:52] ---**
Bl-Black looks n-nice, too!
It's fresh. Black-haired *uke*.
**[16:57] ---**
Hey, quit taking pictures.
**[16:59] ---**
Senpai, do you bleach your hair?
**[17:03] ---**
--I've bleached it several times,
so it's pretty damaged.
--Please stop.
**[17:06] ---**
Wanna feel it?
**[17:08] ---**
Senpai, your hair is very fine.
**[17:11] ---**
Is it?
**[17:13] ---**
Did you let your roommate touch it?
**[17:16] ---**
Yeah. He's the one who
told me it's damaged.
**[17:19] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[17:20] ---**
Huh?
**[17:22] ---**
Hey, Hirano. Sorry you had to wai--
**[17:25] ---**
Oh, what are you guys up to?
**[17:27] ---**
Discussing hair damage.
Yours isn't very damaged, right?
**[17:31] ---**
Have you ever left your hair black?
**[17:35] ---**
Yeah, when I was a freshman.
**[17:37] ---**
Senpai with black hair...
**[17:41] ---**
Want me to dye it?
**[17:42] ---**
If it matters that little to you,
get it dyed for today!
**[17:47] ---**
What're you guys doin'?
**[17:48] ---**
Ogasawara, took you long enough.
**[17:51] ---**
Sorry. But you know,
I only have highlights.
**[17:55] ---**
--This is my classmate Ogasawara.
--I get why they fussed over Sakaki.
**[17:58] ---**
Ogasawara, this is Mya--
Miyano and Kuresawa.
**[18:02] ---**
"Miyano"?
**[18:03] ---**
Oh! The *fudanshi*!
**[18:05] ---**
Senpai, how does he know that?
**[18:07] ---**
He saw me putting the manga in my bag.
**[18:10] ---**
Senpai!
**[18:12] ---**
Not just girls, but guys liking BL.
The hell is going on?
**[18:18] ---**
Could this be the guy I saw?
**[18:22] ---**
Ain't it weird that it's two guys in love?
**[18:27] ---**
Is something wrong?
**[18:29] ---**
Now, now, don't get heated...
**[18:31] ---**
I'm not heated!
**[18:33] ---**
...just because your girlfriend
likes delinquent *ukes*.
**[18:36] ---**
Oh, he's fine now.
**[18:38] ---**
The BL manga she was hiding
had a delinquent
**[18:41] ---**
being topped by a big buff dude.
**[18:43] ---**
What is she reading?
**[18:44] ---**
A *fujoshi* gets all smiley
seeing dudes together, right?
**[18:52] ---**
I really like her, but she... she...
**[18:57] ---**
Has she wanted me to get with
a dude this whole time?!
**[19:01] ---**
We're having a get-together to
make him feel better. Wanna come?
**[19:05] ---**
Pass. I have plans with my girlfriend.
**[19:08] ---**
You're merciless.
**[19:11] ---**
Mya-*chan*, do you have any plans?
**[19:13] ---**
I'm going to the bookstore.
**[19:14] ---**
Oh. Then I'll go with you.
**[19:17] ---**
Dude, really?!
**[19:19] ---**
Even without me, you'll have plenty
of people. What's the big deal?
**[19:24] ---**
We have manga we haven't discussed yet.
**[19:26] ---**
Manga? Are you a *fudanshi*?
**[19:29] ---**
No, I'm not.
**[19:30] ---**
He might be treating you as BL
material like my girlfriend, you know.
**[19:35] ---**
Are you?
**[19:36] ---**
Huh? Come to think of it,
I've never done that with you.
**[19:40] ---**
That's news to me.
Give him the same treatment.
**[19:43] ---**
"Exception"
**[19:44] ---**
See ya.
**[19:46] ---**
Bye.
**[19:47] ---**
I hope they have new stuff.
**[19:49] ---**
Me, too.
**[19:53] ---**
How do I describe it?
**[19:55] ---**
I don't get a solid *uke* or *seme*
vibe from Sasaki-*senpai*.
**[20:02] ---**
Why is that?
**[20:06] ---**
We appreciate your business.
**[20:09] ---**
All finished.
**[20:13] ---**
A new volume is out! Wanna get it?
**[20:14] ---**
--Is something wrong?
--You're right. Let me get it real quick.
**[20:17] ---**
Um, I was just thinking
how this is kinda nice.
**[20:23] ---**
Ready to go? Find anything new?
**[20:25] ---**
I did! The next volume, and
something else from an author I like.
**[20:40] ---**
The exit will be on the left.
**[20:47] ---**
My stop is next. Mya-*chan*?
**[21:08] ---**
Oh, you woke up.
**[21:11] ---**
I'm getting off here.
**[21:12] ---**
Don't miss your stop.
**[21:14] ---**
I won't.
**[21:16] ---**
See you next term.

**[21:41] ---**

**[21:43] ---**
here on the train,
**[21:46] ---**
(when I wasn't even awake!)
**[21:49] ---**
say that?
**[21:53] ---**
I like you.
**[22:00] ---**
What do I do?
