[00:04] Fumi
    Wow, love that blazer!
[00:08] Fumi
    You'd look right at home on a TV show.
[00:11] Mitsumi
    Yeah?
[00:11] Fumi
    Yup.
[00:12] Fumi
    It looks great on ya.
[00:14] Fumi
    You're our pride and joy, Mitsumi-chan.
[00:17] Mitsumi
    Pride and joy...
[00:18] Fumi
    Anyway, I gotta run.
[00:20] Fumi
    Can't be late for the entrance
    ceremony, ya know?
[00:23] Fumi
    Later!
[00:25] Mitsumi
    Yeah, bye.

    I'm Iwakura Mitsumi, fifteen years old.
[00:35] Mitsumi
    And my life as a Tokyo
    high schooler starts today!
[02:15] Mitsumi
    I came here from a tiny, remote town
    on the border of Ishikawa Prefecture.
[02:19] Fumi
    Mitsumi-chan!
[02:24] Mitsumi
    I'll be back for summer break!
[02:28] Tacchan
    Break a leg!
[02:28] Fumi
    Take care!
[02:32] Tacchan
    I wish I coulda sent you off like that.
[02:34] Mitsumi
    Haha, I know that feeling.
[02:37] Mitsumi
    The nearest train line got shut down
    more than a decade ago.
[02:41] Mitsumi
    My middle school only had
    eight students in my year.
[02:43] Fumi
    Here, Mitsumi-chan.
[02:46] Mitsumi
    Fumi-chan and I have been
    together since kindergarten.
[02:48] Mitsumi
    Cute.
[02:49] Fumi
    I know you like pandas.
[02:51] Fumi
    If you see Liang Liang, send me pics.
[02:54] Mitsumi
    She's my best friend.

[03:57] Mitsumi
    This is Nao-chan, my dad's sibling.
[03:59] Nao
    If anyone strange talks to you,
    just ignore them.
[04:02] Mitsumi
    She's taking care of me while I'm in Tokyo.
[04:04] Mitsumi
    You worry too much, Nao-chan.
[04:06] Nao
    Can you blame me?
[04:07] Nao
    You only just found out that there's
    more than one railway company!
[04:11] Nao
    I wish I could go with you,

[04:25] Mitsumi
    It won't just be today.
[04:26] Mitsumi
    There will be zero screwups for the
    entirety of my time in high school.
[04:31] Mitsumi
    Why? Because I have
    a clear road map for my life!
[04:36] Mitsumi
    I will obviously go to Tokyo U,
[04:38] Mitsumi
    attend law school,
    and graduate as valedictorian.
[04:40] Mitsumi
    I'll join the Ministry of Internal Affairs
[04:42] Mitsumi
    and build a career there providing
    key solutions to rural depopulation.
[04:45] Mitsumi
    After I retire, I'll return to my
    hometown and become mayor there,
[04:48] Mitsumi
    using the knowledge from my career
    to greatly improve our finances.
[04:52] Mitsumi
    And when I die, I'll have my ashes
    scattered in the Sea of Japan.
[04:56] Mitsumi
    In the next three years, I'll develop
    the brains I need to fulfill those ambitions!
[05:03] Mitsumi
    However, my family doesn't
    really get it, which is why...
[05:06] Mitsumimum
    Are you having fun at school?
[05:08] Mitsumidad
    Made any friends?
[05:09] Mitsumi
    They'll probably worry about those things,
[05:12] Mitsumi
    so I'll try to put them at ease, too.
[05:17] Mitsumi
    Just wait and see, you guys.
[05:19] Mitsumi
    Ikajima Town's prodigy, your pride and joy,
[05:22] Mitsumi
    will return to you as a total big shot!

    She crazy, you think?
[06:07] Mukai
    Beats me. Why don't you ask her?
[06:09] Mukai
    I gotta go, so I'm hanging up.
[06:12] Mteacher
    Are you a first-year?
[06:13] Mukai
    Yes.
[06:14] Mteacher
    The others have already entered.
[06:16] Mukai
    Sorry. I was fighting for my life in there.
[06:18] Mteacher
    Get going!
[06:19] Mukai
    Yes, sir.
[06:20] Mteacher
    You still can't reach her?

    No...
[06:23] Sakura
    What do we do?
[06:26] Mteacher
    What's going on with Class 3?
[06:37] Mitsumi
    Huh? Where am I?
    Do I go that way? This way?
[06:37] Mitsumi
    I got lost...
[06:40] Mitsumi
    Got caught in rush hour...
[06:42] Mitsumi
    And got sick from the crowd.
[06:46] Mitsumi
    This wasn't the plan.
[06:49] Mitsumi
    I wanna die.
[06:51] Sousuke
    Hey...
[06:53] Sousuke
    Are you okay?
[06:59] Sousuke
    Yikes!

SIGN    Home
[07:59] Mitsumi
    I know I'm gonna get
    a call from home today.
[08:02] Mitsumi
    They'll ask how the entrance ceremony went.
[08:04] Mitsumi
    If I tell the truth, they'll worry about me.
[08:08] Mitsumi
    Should I lie?
[08:09] Mitsumi
    About all of it?
[08:12] Sousuke
    Hey, it's not the end of the world.
[08:15] Sousuke
    It's just the entrance ceremony.
[08:21] Mitsumi
    Maybe that's all it is to you!
[08:26] Mitsumi
    W-Wait, no!

    Everything in Tokyo moves at lightning speed.
[08:53] Mitsumi
    I got swallowed by its waves.
    I panicked, made things worse,
[08:59] Mitsumi
    and in the end...
[09:03] Sousuke
    It's straight down this road. Hang in there.
[09:06] Mitsumi
    I lashed out at this kind, helpful guy.
[09:11] Mitsumi
    I feel like I've seen my own
    true colors in just half a day.
[09:16] Mitsumi
    I'm ashamed of myself.
[09:20] Sousuke
    Y-You okay?
[09:25] Mitsumi
    I'm... fine...
[09:28] Mitsumi
    But for now, I'm gonna forget all that...

    will give us confidence and strength
    to overcome the days ahead.
[12:18] Sousuke
    Haha...

    try to live up to their expectations,

    And I'll phone her regularly
    to check up on her.
[19:02] Mitsumimum
    Thank you, dear.
[19:03] Fumi
    I'll be off, then. Have a good night.
[19:09] Mitsumimum
    I'd feel a lot better
    if Fumi-chan were there with her.
[19:12] Maharu
    Right?
[19:15] Chris
    How was your entrance ceremony?
[19:16] Boya
    My class is looking pretty good.
[19:19] Girla
    Lucky you.
[19:19] Ririka
    Mine had this awkward mood from day one.
[19:22] Chris
    Hey, don't take my shrimp! I only had four...
[19:25] Ririka
    Don't be a cheapskate.
[19:26] Boya
    Your uniform is real cute.
[19:27] Ririka
    How about you, Sousuke?
[19:28] Sousuke
    Hmm?
[19:29] Chris
    Yeah. How's your little elite school?
[19:32] Sousuke
    I overslept, for one thing.
[19:35] Chris
    That was quick!
[19:36] Ririka
    You didn't make it?
[19:37] Sousuke
    No, I did. I ran from the station.
[19:40] Ririka
    Who, you?
[19:42] Sousuke
    Yeah.
[19:44] Sousuke
    I thought there wouldn't be a chance in hell,
[19:48] Sousuke
    but the principal's speech
    apparently went forever,
[19:51] Sousuke
    so we ended up making it.
[19:56] Sousuke
    That was kinda fun, honestly.
[19:59] Chris
    Was it with a girl?
[20:00] Sousuke
    Oh, I should get going.
[20:04] Sousuke
    Lemme out.
[20:05] Chris
    Huh?!
[20:06] Ririka
    Wait, you're leaving already?
[20:07] Chris
    Are you serious?
[20:08] Chris
    Was it really a girl? That was fast!
[20:10] Ririka
    Hey, don't run away.
[20:12] Sousuke
    Nah, just thought I'd go home early.
[20:16] Sousuke
    Wouldn't want to be late tomorrow, you know?
[20:19] Sousuke
    Later.
[20:25] Ririka
    The heck was that?
[20:26] Chris
    Don't ask me.
[20:28] Chris
    Something must've made him
    really happy today.
[20:38] Sousuke
    Yeah.
[20:40] Sousuke
    I might as well enjoy my high school life.
[20:49] Mitsumi
    The night lights are so bright here.
[20:54] Mitsumi
    Today's mistakes don't count.
    It was only my first day, after all.
[20:59] Mitsumi
    Also, I did study for the post-entrance exam
    and did a bunch of my spring homework.
[21:04] Mitsumi
    All good.
[21:06] Mitsumi
    I'll be fine from tomorrow.
[21:08] Mitsumi
    I know it.
[21:17] Mitsumi
    Self-introductions, huh?
[21:21] Mitsumi
    Won't be a problem, obviously.
[21:26] Mitsumi
    But maybe I should figure out
    what I'm gonna say.
[21:29] Mitsumi
    First impressions are key.
[21:32] Mitsumi
    I'll prepare multiple options
    based on the class's mood.
[21:53] Nao
    Oh, good morning, Mitsu...
[22:02] Mitsumi
    First impressions are...
[22:04] Nao
    Yikes!
