**[00:06] ---**
Go, Miyano!
**[00:18] ---**
Good job, Miyano.
**[00:19] ---**
Thanks.
**[00:23] ---**
Well done.
**[00:26] ---**
Kuresawa.
**[00:29] ---**
Thanks.
**[00:30] ---**
It's so hot today.
**[00:31] ---**
Miyano, you're pretty fast,
despite being an indoor kid.
**[00:34] ---**
I'd like to be indoors. I'm so thirsty.
**[00:38] ---**
Want me to get you something?
You can pay me later.
**[00:41] ---**
I'm gonna grab some juice.
**[00:43] ---**
A sports drink, then.
**[00:45] ---**
You got it. You gonna stay here?
**[00:47] ---**
No, I'm gonna wash my face.
**[00:49] ---**
Okay, I'll find you later.
**[00:51] ---**
Okay, thanks.
**[01:05] ---**
Why not grow your bangs?
**[01:07] ---**
You'll supposedly look older.
And maybe less feminine-faced.
**[01:11] ---**
That's an idea.
**[01:16] ---**
I grew my bangs out, but of course
now they're in the way...
**[01:20] ---**
Mya-*chan*?
**[01:23] ---**
Oh, it is you, Mya-*chan*.
**[01:27] ---**
Sasaki-*senpai*.
**[01:30] ---**
Are you taking refuge here, too?
**[01:32] ---**
Huh?
**[01:33] ---**
It's hot today, right?
**[01:35] ---**
There's a nice breeze here.
**[01:38] ---**
Is your event over?
**[01:39] ---**
Yes. I just finished mine.
**[01:42] ---**
Then let's shoot the breeze.
**[01:44] ---**
Skipping out early?
**[01:46] ---**
No, it's just a break.
**[02:06] ---**
"Sasaki and Miyano"
**[03:21] ---**
"Episode 5: 'Bit by Bit'"
**[03:23] ---**
"Episode 5: 'Bit by Bit'"
What was your event?
**[03:25] ---**
"Episode 5: 'Bit by Bit'"
The 1,500-meter run.
**[03:27] ---**
Are you a strong runner?
**[03:29] ---**
Not at short-distance, but I guess
I'm fairly good at long-distance.
**[03:34] ---**
Oh, wow. Impressive.
**[03:39] ---**
Are you on the white team? Me, too.
**[03:44] ---**
Thank you.
**[03:46] ---**
Huh?
**[03:47] ---**
"Delayed embarrassment"
**[03:50] ---**
What was yours, Senpai?
**[03:52] ---**
Basket toss. It's basically
compulsory for tall people.
**[03:56] ---**
I can see that.
**[03:58] ---**
Hirano would have had to play, too,
**[04:00] ---**
but as a freshman he caused trouble
and was banned from basket toss.
**[04:05] ---**
Hirano-*senpai* did?!
**[04:07] ---**
What did he do?
**[04:09] ---**
"Gimme your jacket! I'm making a pouch!"
He yanked his classmates' PE clothes off,
**[04:11] ---**
"Hey, I'm cold!"
"Gimme your jacket! I'm making a pouch!"
He yanked his classmates' PE clothes off,
**[04:12] ---**
"Hey, I'm cold!"
"Gimme your jacket! I'm making a pouch!"
filled them with balls,
and tossed them in.
**[04:15] ---**
"Hey, I'm cold!"
"Gimme your jacket! I'm making a pouch!"
Hirano-*senpai*...
**[04:17] ---**
The other classes started
copying him and things got crazy.
**[04:21] ---**
It wasn't basket toss anymore.
**[04:23] ---**
--Clothes were scattered everywhere,
and some people tried to get naked...
**[04:25] ---**
--Thank goodness.
--Clothes were scattered everywhere,
and some people tried to get naked...
**[04:27] ---**
I'm talking pretty normally with him.
**[04:29] ---**
"Thank goodness?"
**[04:32] ---**
--So I read that manga...
**[04:33] ---**
--Why did I think tha--
--So I read that manga...
**[04:34] ---**
O-Oh? Yes?
**[04:36] ---**
You know, there was this part
where they kiss through a mask.
**[04:40] ---**
It was kinda nice.
**[04:42] ---**
When stuff like that happens,
it's... delightful?
**[04:47] ---**
I like talking with him.
**[04:50] ---**
That's... yeah...
**[04:53] ---**
How do I describe it?
**[04:55] ---**
--I'm reading alone, but I get excited...
**[04:57] ---**
--I never imagined we'd
talk about my hobby.
--I'm reading alone, but I get excited...
**[05:02] ---**
But whether that "like"
is love, I'm not sure.
**[05:06] ---**
Oh,
**[05:07] ---**
is this what *moe* is?
**[05:10] ---**
Yes!
**[05:11] ---**
Yes. Yes it is!
**[05:13] ---**
Senpai, you get it.
**[05:15] ---**
That's a standard plotline.
**[05:17] ---**
--Actually, maybe I just
misheard him on the train.
--But the classics are classic for a reason!
**[05:23] ---**
It's not like he's said
anything directly since then.
**[05:27] ---**
So maybe...
**[05:28] ---**
Huh, I feel like maybe
my spirits have been lifted.
**[05:32] ---**
--You can see why it's a classic!
--Yeah.
**[05:35] ---**
I also like how the kisser
gets sick despite the mask,
**[05:39] ---**
and they take turns
taking care of each other!
**[05:42] ---**
He's so cute.
**[05:45] ---**
The *uke* tries and fails to make soup.
**[05:47] ---**
I feel like the *ukes*
are often bad at cooking.
**[05:50] ---**
That might just be a coincidence
in the manga I tend to buy.
**[05:54] ---**
--I enjoy talking with him.
--Oh, it is?
**[05:56] ---**
I also like it when the *seme* can't cook,
**[05:59] ---**
--I enjoy being with him.
--but the authors I usually buy
tend not to go that route.
**[06:02] ---**
"Let's win our last Field Day!"
Oh, I see.
**[06:03] ---**
"Let's win our last Field Day!"
--When I like a particular couple,
I buy all their stuff...
**[06:06] ---**
"Let's win our last Field Day!"
--When I like a particular couple,
I buy all their stuff...
--I want this to go on forever.
**[06:11] ---**
I don't want it to end after I graduate.
**[06:20] ---**
Hey, Mya-*chan*.
**[06:21] ---**
Yes?
**[06:23] ---**
I like you, Miyano.
**[06:39] ---**
What?
**[06:44] ---**
What I said in the summer...
**[06:50] ---**
I'm not taking that back.
**[07:05] ---**
--I--
--Miyano?
**[07:11] ---**
Um...
**[07:15] ---**
Um, I, uh...
**[07:22] ---**
Does this wavering mean there's a chance?
**[07:29] ---**
I can wait...
**[07:32] ---**
You don't have to answer right away.
**[07:34] ---**
I'd be happy if you gave it some thought.
**[07:39] ---**
I will!
**[07:40] ---**
I swear!
**[07:46] ---**
Great.
**[07:49] ---**
Kuresawa is calling for you.
**[07:51] ---**
Oh...
**[07:53] ---**
...right.
**[07:55] ---**
See ya later, Mya-*chan*.
**[08:11] ---**
I got nervous!
**[08:14] ---**
Sasaki-*senpai*.
**[08:16] ---**
Can I ask you something?
**[08:18] ---**
S-Sure. What is it?
**[08:23] ---**
Sasaki-*senpai*,
**[08:25] ---**
what do you like about me?
**[08:28] ---**
Wh-What... do... I...?
**[08:36] ---**
Y-Your face...
**[08:40] ---**
O-Oh...
**[08:42] ---**
I'd better go now.
**[08:43] ---**
My-Mya-*chan*!
**[08:45] ---**
I messed up!
**[08:47] ---**
There you are. Were you with Senpai?
**[08:49] ---**
U-Uh, yeah...
**[08:51] ---**
Senpai, did you say someth--
**[08:53] ---**
I'll tell you what it is next time.
**[08:59] ---**
Here. Your tab is 140 yen.
**[09:01] ---**
Thanks.
**[09:04] ---**
The game of chicken is up next.
**[09:13] ---**
I mean, I'm really into your face,
**[09:19] ---**
but that's not...
**[09:22] ---**
It's not just that...
**[09:25] ---**
Your eyes...
**[09:28] ---**
The excited way you talk to me...
**[09:31] ---**
The way you look right at me...
**[09:35] ---**
You remember what I say...
**[09:39] ---**
And on White Day...
**[09:43] ---**
What you've done for me...
**[09:47] ---**
All of it...
**[09:50] ---**
I like all of it.
**[09:53] ---**
And yet I...
**[09:55] ---**
Ugh, dammit!
**[09:57] ---**
I got caught off guard.
**[10:01] ---**
Expressing feelings is hard.
**[10:08] ---**
...asaki!
**[10:10] ---**
Sasaki!
**[10:11] ---**
Sasaki!
**[10:13] ---**
Huh?
**[10:15] ---**
That's quite the getup.
**[10:19] ---**
I was part of the cheer squad.
**[10:21] ---**
The class relay is up next.
**[10:24] ---**
Right...
**[10:27] ---**
What's wrong?
**[10:31] ---**
You know, I just passed by Miyano.
**[10:34] ---**
My-Mya-*chan*?
**[10:38] ---**
Seriously, what's wrong?
**[10:40] ---**
Do you feel sick?
Want me to sub in for you?
**[10:44] ---**
The other day I borrowed a manga
about time slips from Miyano.
**[10:51] ---**
If this is about a BL manga, I'm out.
**[10:54] ---**
I get enough of that from Miyano.
**[10:58] ---**
BL...
**[10:59] ---**
BL, huh...
**[11:01] ---**
Is it BL?
**[11:04] ---**
What do you think, Hirano?
**[11:06] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[11:09] ---**
If you can race, then hurry up.
**[11:11] ---**
Everyone's waiting.
**[11:13] ---**
I'm going.
**[11:23] ---**
I wanna be cool.
**[11:34] ---**
At first it didn't bother me.
**[11:37] ---**
Miyano has such a cute face.
**[11:39] ---**
Like he makes a better girl than a girl.
**[11:42] ---**
But it happened over and over again...
**[11:48] ---**
I got sick of it,
**[11:51] ---**
and I steadily grew more insecure.
**[12:06] ---**
Is it because I have a cold?
**[12:09] ---**
What an awful dream.
**[12:12] ---**
My face...
**[12:19] ---**
What does he mean when he calls me cute?
**[12:23] ---**
Is it because of my feminine face?
**[12:27] ---**
I don't want to be a girl.
**[12:29] ---**
I would've preferred a manlier face.
**[12:34] ---**
If only I were a few inches taller...
**[12:37] ---**
Then I could have more confidence,
**[12:40] ---**
and I could give Senpai...
**[12:49] ---**
What am I even thinking?
**[12:52] ---**
What does he mean he likes my face?
**[12:54] ---**
Ah, I'm going in circles!
**[13:03] ---**
It's endless.
**[13:06] ---**
How do I feel about Sasaki-*senpai*?
**[13:13] ---**
With the long break and exams
coming up, the Discipline Committee
**[13:18] ---**
will be conducting morning dress code
checks before the exam period.
**[13:23] ---**
Any questions so far?
**[13:25] ---**
Yes. What if a Committee member
is violating the dress code?
**[13:31] ---**
Like who?
**[13:32] ---**
"Dress Code Checks"
A certain blond individual.
**[13:36] ---**
"Dress Code Checks"
Oh, me.
**[13:37] ---**
"Blind Spot"
**[13:38] ---**
"Dress Code Checks"
--I'm heading out!
--A written apology gets you
an exemption for dyed hair.
**[13:39] ---**
"Dress Code Checks"
--Thanks for coming.
--A written apology gets you
an exemption for dyed hair.
**[13:40] ---**
--Thanks for coming.
--A written apology gets you
an exemption for dyed hair.
**[13:42] ---**
That's not an exemption...
**[13:45] ---**
It'd be a pain to dye it
back for every test.
**[13:48] ---**
You dyed it back for the closing ceremony.
**[13:51] ---**
Well, I was also gonna see
some relatives over the break.
**[13:55] ---**
It'd destroy my hair
to do that every time.
**[13:59] ---**
I've always wondered...
**[14:02] ---**
Hirano-*senpai*, why do you
dye your hair blond?
**[14:05] ---**
'Cause it's cool.
**[14:07] ---**
Right. Of course.
**[14:09] ---**
Quit laughing, Chairman.
**[14:11] ---**
Once I used a spray
to make it black for a day.
**[14:14] ---**
But then my hair was all stiff
and wouldn't lay right. It was terrible.
**[14:19] ---**
Still, it costs money
to actually dye it back,
**[14:22] ---**
and it costs money to redye it, too.
**[14:25] ---**
Couldn't you just not dye it?
**[14:27] ---**
No way.
**[14:29] ---**
It sounds like a lot of work.
**[14:33] ---**
Sasaki told you he dyed
his hair black his first year, right?
**[14:36] ---**
Yes.
**[14:37] ---**
At one point, once the color was
falling out, he looked like a calico cat.
**[14:42] ---**
Sasaki-*senpai*...
**[14:45] ---**
...a calico cat?
**[14:48] ---**
Oh, when you're done,
help me with these printouts.
**[14:51] ---**
Will do.
**[15:06] ---**
Now this is unusual.
**[15:08] ---**
I'll go hand over the duty chart.
**[15:11] ---**
Okay.
**[15:15] ---**
It must be hot wearing
a mask in the summer.
**[15:24] ---**
--Hir--
--Shh!
**[15:26] ---**
...rano...
**[15:30] ---**
The teacher asked me to get you.
**[15:32] ---**
Got it.
**[15:35] ---**
He's sleeping.
**[15:37] ---**
Don't wake him up.
**[15:39] ---**
He doesn't feel well.
**[15:40] ---**
A cold?
**[15:41] ---**
Probably.
**[15:43] ---**
If you have time,
could you stay until I come back?
**[15:48] ---**
Sure.
**[15:50] ---**
If he wakes up, tell him to go home.
**[15:53] ---**
Okay.
**[16:35] ---**
If it's through a mask,
**[16:37] ---**
is it okay?
**[16:41] ---**
What did he call it? Standard?
**[16:49] ---**
Can I?
**[16:54] ---**
No, definitely not okay.
**[17:25] ---**
I'm hopeless.
**[17:31] ---**
I...
**[17:32] ---**
Oh, you were still sleeping?
**[17:34] ---**
Huh?
**[17:36] ---**
Sasaki-*senpai*!
**[17:39] ---**
Morning.
**[17:44] ---**
Good... morning...
**[17:48] ---**
Miyano, if you're awake, go home.
**[17:52] ---**
The term is almost over. Don't push it.
**[17:54] ---**
Huh?
**[17:55] ---**
Um... is that okay?
**[17:58] ---**
Why not.
**[18:00] ---**
Then I'll head home now.
**[18:02] ---**
See ya.
**[18:15] ---**
So?
**[18:17] ---**
Did you do something to Miyano?
**[18:20] ---**
He's acting strange.
**[18:28] ---**
I confessed my feelings.
**[18:33] ---**
Excuse me?
**[18:34] ---**
But I didn't say it right.
**[18:36] ---**
I want to, but it feels like
he's avoiding me.
**[18:39] ---**
Wait, "confessed?"
**[18:44] ---**
Should you be telling me?
**[18:48] ---**
Um, do you not have Miyano's number?
**[18:51] ---**
Huh? I don't, actually.
**[18:54] ---**
Why not?! After all that manga borrowing?
**[18:57] ---**
Look, it just sorta didn't...
**[19:00] ---**
Hey.
**[19:01] ---**
What is it?
**[19:04] ---**
Quit making excuses and just tell him.
**[19:06] ---**
"Yoshikazu Miyano"
**[19:13] ---**
Thanks.
**[19:15] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:21] ---**
Are you guys leaving, too?
Let's go partway together!
**[19:24] ---**
Okay.
**[19:26] ---**
"Hirano-*senpai*"
**[19:26] ---**
"Hirano-*senpai*"
Hirano-*senpai*?
**[19:28] ---**
"Hirano-*senpai*"
Did I forget something?
**[19:31] ---**
Yes?
**[19:32] ---**
Mya-*chan*?
**[19:37] ---**
Sasaki-*senpai*?
**[19:43] ---**
I really like that.
**[19:45] ---**
I want to hear him say that more.
**[19:52] ---**
I forgot to say something before.
**[19:55] ---**
So I borrowed Hirano's phone.
**[19:59] ---**
Hey, listen...
**[20:01] ---**
Yes?
**[20:02] ---**
I like you a lot. For more than your face.
**[20:07] ---**
That's all.
**[20:08] ---**
--Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?
--See ya. And take care.
**[20:15] ---**
Sasaki, go let Miyano punch you.
**[20:19] ---**
Actually, can *I* just punch you?
**[20:21] ---**
Uh-uh.
**[20:22] ---**
Your punch would hurt, so no way!
**[20:25] ---**
--I didn't--I didn't see this
BL sucker punch coming!
**[20:29] ---**
--Even your ears are red.
--I didn't--I didn't see this
BL sucker punch coming!
**[20:30] ---**
Shut up! Girlfriend-haver!
**[20:34] ---**
Wanna see a picture of her?
**[20:35] ---**
No. Once you get started,
you'll go for hours!
**[20:39] ---**
I don't think I've seen
your girlfriend. Show me!
**[20:43] ---**
Okay. Bow down while you look.
**[20:44] ---**
Oop. Scary.
**[20:45] ---**
Hey, she's cute!
**[20:48] ---**
Fall for her and you're dead.
**[20:49] ---**
Stop, Kuresawa. You're scaring me.
**[20:59] ---**
Actually, though Miyano
has a feminine face,
**[21:02] ---**
compared to a girl,
he's totally masculine.
**[21:04] ---**
That's right, Tashiro.
You're smart. Thanks.
**[21:07] ---**
So I'm a genius like I thought?
**[21:11] ---**
He doesn't just like me
because of my face...
**[21:16] ---**
Why did I just feel relieved?!
**[21:18] ---**
What emotional range!
**[21:21] ---**
I'm amazed you know that term.
**[21:23] ---**
Because I'm smart?
**[21:25] ---**
Why're you laughing?!
**[21:28] ---**
Miyano said I'm smart!
**[21:31] ---**
--Relieved...
--Yup. You sure are.
**[21:33] ---**
--Why?!
--I detect a tone!
**[21:39] ---**
"Bit by Bit"
**[23:13] ---**
I told you to keep your hands off him.
**[23:15] ---**
I have.
**[23:17] ---**
I think.
**[23:19] ---**
Is it serious?
**[23:22] ---**
Yeah.
**[23:25] ---**
You know what? Nope. Forget all of this.
**[23:28] ---**
"Just don't do anything careless."
**[23:28] ---**
"Just don't do anything careless."
This is creeping me out!
**[23:31] ---**
"I won't."
**[23:32] ---**
"I won't."
Same.
**[23:34] ---**
