[00:03] Fumi
    You see it?
[00:04] Fumi
    Mighty fine day here today.
[00:07] Mitsumi
    Oh, that looks great!
[00:09] Mitsumi
    The waters are so calm!
[00:12] Mitsumi
    Tokyo's in full-on rainy season mode.
[00:16] Fumi
    Guess what, Mitsumi-chan?
[00:18] Mitsumi
    Hmm?
[00:19] Fumi
    There's a guy I like.
[00:25] Fumi
    You okay?
[00:27] Mitsumi
    R-Really?!
[02:10] Mitsumi
    Fumi's in love, huh?
[02:13] Mitsumi
    I feel left behind.
[02:15] Mitsumi
    But that makes sense. We are at that age now.
[02:20] Fumi
    He's in a different class,
    but we're both in the tennis club.
[02:24] Fumi
    He's a real funny one.
[02:26] (Flashback) Mitsumi
    Huh? Ohh...
[02:29] Mitsumi
    F-Fumi, can I ask you something?
[02:31] (Flashback) Fumi
    Hmm?
[02:32] (Flashback) Mitsumi
    Uh, how... what's it like? Love, I mean.
[02:38] Fumi
    Well, for me...
[02:39] (Flashback) Fumi
    First, I thought,
    "This guy's fun! I like him!"
[02:44] (Flashback) Fumi
    Before I knew it, my eyes kept following him.
[02:47] (Flashback) Fumi
    Soon, I got excited about school,
    cause I knew I'd see him there!
[02:52] (Flashback) Fumi
    Then I started hanging in his class,
    acting like I was there to see friends.
[02:56] (Flashback) Fumi
    Squee! It feels so weird
    talking to you about this stuff!
[03:00] (Flashback) Fumi
    But then I'd get super nervous
    whenever I'd get to talk to him.
[03:03] Fumi
    I'd keep worrying about
    the right things to say,
[03:07] Fumi
    keep wanting to
    run away mid-sentence...
[03:09] Fumi
    It's exciting, but it's
    doing a number on me!
[03:14] Mitsumi
    You want to see someone,
    but you also run from them.
[03:16] Mitsumi
    You want to talk to them,
    but you trip over your words...
[03:19] Mitsumi
    How complicated.
[03:21] Mitsumi
    Assuming I fall in love someday,
[03:24] Mitsumi
    will I be able to recognize it?
[03:28] Mitsumi
    I should ask Makocchan and
    Yuzu-chan when I get to class.
[03:31] Boy A
    Oh yeah, they'll be handing
    'em out today, right?
[03:33] Boy A
    We're exactly two weeks away and all.
[03:35] Boy B
    What, seriously? Seriously!
[03:38] Boy B
    Yikes, I thought we had more time!
[03:40] Mitsumi
    That's right! I don't have time
    to think about love!
[03:43] Mitsumi
    Today's the day it gets announced!
SIGN    Term Final Exam Syllabus
[03:49] Sakura
    You probably know the drill
    after middle school,
[03:51] Sakura
    but club activities will be suspended
    throughout the exam period.
[03:54] Sakura
    You'll also be prohibited from
    entering the faculty office.
[03:57] Sakura
    If you have any questions,
    ask for us and wait outside.
[04:00] Sakura
    Do your best, and close out the first half
    of your first year with a smile!
[04:05] Sakura
    Okay, let's take attendance.
[04:06] Mitsumi
    The day has come.
[04:07] Sakura
    Asano-san?
[04:08] Asano
    Here.
[04:09] Sakura
    Iwakura-san?
[04:10] Mitsumi
    Here.
[04:11] Mitsumi
    In the midterms, I upped my
    rank to ninth in my year.
[04:14] Mitsumi
    I'm surrounded by excellent students,
[04:16] Mitsumi
    so I know it's not good to be
    obsessed with the ranking,
[04:19] Mitsumi
    but given I'm aiming for Tokyo U, I need
    to stay comfortably in the single digits.
[04:23] Sakura
    Shima-kun... called in sick today.
[04:27] Sakura
    Jougasaki-san?
[04:29] Jougasaki
    Here.
[04:30] Sakura
    Suda-kun?
[04:31] Suda
    Here.
[04:31] Mitsumi
    So Shima-kun's out today...
[04:31] Sakura
    Soga-kun?
[04:32] Soga
    Here.
[04:33] Sakura
    Takato-kun?
[04:34] Takato
    Here.
[04:36] Yuzuki
    Didn't we just have exams?
[04:39] Makoto
    It includes material from midterms,
    so that's a lot of pages.
[04:43] Makoto
    How are we already through the first
    half of the year? That is scary.
[04:46] Yuzuki
    God, where do I even begin?
[04:50] Yuzuki
    Look at Mitsumi. She looks
    like she was born ready.
[04:54] Mitsumi
    Well, I am looking to graduate Tokyo U's
    law school and join the government.
[04:58] Mitsumi
    Exams are nothing!
[04:59] Makoto
    Irritating, but a good role model.
[05:01] Yuzuki
    Teach me, Mitsumi-sensei!
[05:04] Mitsumi
    What awful timing for Shima-kun
    to get sick. I feel bad for him.
[05:07] Yuzuki
    Right?
[05:08] Mitsumi
    Maybe I should text him.
[05:09] Mitsumi
    He might want to know the exam syllabus ASAP.
[05:13] Makoto
    Yeah, but we're two weeks away.
[05:16] Yuzuki
    That'd be the last thing
    I'd want to see if I was sick.
SIGN    m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100
SIGN    Today
SIGN    Good morning, Shima-kun.
    Sensei said you were out sick.
    Are you okay? It's such an
    important time, too. That sucks!
    The final exam syllabus gets
    announced today, so if you
    want to know, I'll tell you.
    It'll include material from
    midterms, so I'm sure it'll be
    a lot... I'll show you the notes
    I take while you're out sick,
    so don't worry about that!
    Just focus on resting well
    and taking care of yourself.
    Get well soon.
SIGN    Morning
[05:20] Mitsumi
    Oh.
SIGN    Was asleep
[05:21] Mitsumi
    He replied quickly, so he can't be that sick.
[05:24] Mitsumi
    That's a relief.
SIGN    I woke up so late, I was just, like,
    whatever. So don't worry, I'm fine.
    Thanks, though!
[05:28] Mitsumi
    Huh? But Sensei said he called in sick.
[05:32] Yuzuki
    Probably just called and went back to sleep.
[05:35] Mitsumi
    But that's skipping!
[05:37] Makoto
    Sure is.
[05:38] Mitsumi
    What? He doesn't hate school, does he?
[05:42] Tsukasa
    Nah.
[05:43] Tsukasa
    Sousuke was like that even in middle school.
[05:47] Tsukasa
    He wouldn't cancel plans with people,
[05:49] Tsukasa
    but he'd sometimes silently skip stuff
    if it wouldn't bother anybody.
[05:55] Mitsumi
    Come to think of it, he was late
    for the entrance ceremony, too.
[06:00] (Flashback) Sousuke
    It's just the entrance ceremony.
[06:02] Girls
    Forget that!
[06:04] Girls
    You went to the same middle school, right?
[06:06] Girls
    Is it true that one in every
    three girls asked him out?!
[06:10] Girls
    And that he tore them up and tossed them?!
SIGN    Tossed them?
[06:13] Girls
    I hear he enjoyed the nightlife,
    even at that age!
SIGN    Lord of the Night?
[06:16] Girls
    Well, I heard he was dating
    a magazine model from another school
SIGN    Magazine model?
[06:18] Girls
    and wouldn't give any other
    girls the time of day.
[06:21] Girls
    Is any of this true?
[06:22] Tsukasa
    I don't know!
[06:24] Tsukasa
    And don't ask me things
    you wouldn't ask him!
[06:27] Girl
    Mukai-kun's got a good
    head on his shoulders...
[06:30] Kento
    Look at Mr. Popular over here.
[06:32] Mitsumi
    Is Shima-kun actually...
[06:35] Mitsumi
    a bad boy?!
[06:37] Mitsumi
    No, stop that.
[06:39] Mitsumi
    Didn't I tell myself I wouldn't
    take these things at face value?
[06:47] Mitsumi
    Sh... Shima-kun?!

[06:50] Sousuke
    Waddup, Mitsumi-chan!
[06:52] Mitsumi
    What's gotten into you?
[06:54] Mitsumi
    It's almost July! Aren't you hot?
[06:57] Sousuke
    Nah. I feel the wind on my trusty steed.
[06:59] Sousuke
    Perfect timing, though.
[07:01] Sousuke
    Give this to the teachers for me.
SIGN    Drop Out Notice
[07:05] Mitsumi
    B-But why?
[07:08] Mitsumi
    Is something bothering you?
[07:09] Sousuke
    Nah, just not feeling it.
[07:12] Sousuke
    Like, who cares, you know?
[07:17] Sousuke
    Adios!
[07:20] Mitsumi
    Shima-kun!
[07:30] Mitsumi
    What an awful dream.
[07:33] Sakura
    Satou-san?
[07:34] Satou
    Here.
[07:36] Sakura
    Shima-kun?
[07:37] Sakura
    Huh? But he didn't call in today.
[07:41] Sakura
    Did anyone hear anything?
[07:45] Mitsumi
    Again? Is he okay?
[07:48] Mitsumi
    I mean, taking two days off
    just for oversleeping?
[07:51] Mitsumi
    Is he actually sick?
[07:54] Mitsumi
    Or in some kind of trouble?
[07:57] Mitsumi
    He doesn't seem like
    the type to talk about it...
[08:04] Mitsumi
    What if he really stops coming to school?
[08:10] Sousuke
    Morning.
[08:11] Koshino
    "Morning"?
[08:13] Kento
    It's lunchtime, man!
[08:14] Sousuke
    The low-pressure system gave me a headache.
[08:16] Jougasaki
    I feel you. I'm so sleepy too.
[08:19] Koshino
    But two days in a row? Come on, dude.
[08:22] Sousuke
    Hey, I'm here now, aren't I?
[08:24] Sousuke
    Oh, morning, Mitsumi-chan.
[08:35] Sakura
    Okay, let's call it a day here.
[08:37] Suda
    Stand!
[08:39] Suda
    Bow!
[08:40] Yamamori
    Wanna study together?
[08:42] Nagata
    Sure!
[08:43] Yamamori
    Where, though?
[08:44] Nagata
    Gotta be a diner, right?
[08:45] Sakura
    Oh, class officers. Please stay back.
[08:48] Sakura
    Could you staple these printouts
    together for tomorrow?
[08:51] Sousuke
    Sure.
[08:53] Mitsumi
    Okay.
[08:54] Mitsumi
    Why'd it have to be today?
[09:12] Sousuke
    Uh, Mitsumi-chan? Are you
    mad at me or something?
[09:16] Mitsumi
    I'm not... mad, but...
[09:20] Sousuke
    But?
[09:22] Mitsumi
    Did you really skip school
    just because you were sleepy?
[09:26] Sousuke
    Huh? Yeah.
[09:28] Sousuke
    The rainy season sucks for me.
[09:30] Mitsumi
    You'll miss out on important
    announcements during exam season.
[09:33] Sousuke
    I guess.
[09:35] Sousuke
    Well, all I really care about is passing.
[09:39] Sousuke
    Was that all?
[09:41] Sousuke
    Like, who cares, you know?
SIGN    Drop Out Notice
[09:47] Mitsumi
    I... I care!
[09:48] Sousuke
    What's gotten into you?
[09:50] Mitsumi
    A-And you should care more about
    yourself and your reputation!
[09:52] Mitsumi
    People will keep saying you're out
    enjoying the nightlife and stuff!
[09:58] Sousuke
    Did someone tell you that?
[10:06] Mitsumi
    Well, I just heard it in passing yesterday.
[10:08] Mitsumi
    Anyway, all I'm trying to say is,
[10:10] Mitsumi
    term finals are important
    even for first-years...
[10:13] Sousuke
    Maybe they are to you.
[10:29] Sousuke
    Sorry!
[10:35] Mitsumi
    There, all done! I'll take these
    to the faculty office!
[10:39] Sousuke
    No, let me—
[10:40] Mitsumi
    It's fine! I had a question
    for Sensei, anyway!
[10:42] Mitsumi
    See you tomorrow!

[11:12] (Flashback) Sousuke
    Maybe they are to you.
[11:19] Mitsumi
    He was holding a grudge!
[11:23] Mitsumi
    I stepped way over the line!
[11:26] Mitsumi
    Yeah, I mean, Shima-kun's the kind of guy
[11:28] Mitsumi
    who tends to take a step back
    in group settings and listen in.
[11:32] Mitsumi
    He must hate people prying into his life,
    like with the child actor thing.
[11:38] Mitsumi
    But wait! Let's go over this!
[11:40] Mitsumi
    Maybe that's all it is to you!

[11:47] Mitsumi
    ...doesn't mean it was intentional, right?
[11:49] Mitsumi
    Maybe I'm just giving what I said
    too much importance!
[11:52] Mitsumi
    Maybe it was just a coincidence!
[11:53] Mitsumi
    Come to think of it, his tone was different!
[11:55] Sousuke
    Maybe they are to you.
[11:59] Sousuke
    Different strokes
    for different folks, right?
[12:01] Mitsumi
    Yeah, I'm starting to think
    that's what he meant.
[12:05] Mitsumi
    He probably wasn't mad at all.
[12:07] Mitsumi
    I was just jumping to the
    worst possible conclusion.
[12:10] Mitsumi
    Either way, I'll find out tomorrow,
[12:12] Mitsumi
    so I should focus on studying for now.
[12:15] Mitsumi
    Focus, focus...
[12:25] Sousuke
    Was I holding a grudge over it?
[12:28] Chris
    What, you looking for advice?
[12:30] Chris
    At this hour?
[12:31] Chris
    Seriously, Sousuke,
    when are you gonna go home?
[12:34] Sousuke
    Mind hearing me out, Chris-kun?
[12:37] Chris
    Uh, I'm trying to study.
[12:39] Chris
    Aren't your term finals soon, too?
[12:41] Sousuke
    There's this girl.
    We're class officers together.
[12:44] Chris
    Huh?
[12:45] Chris
    You? A class officer?
[12:49] Sousuke
    Yeah, forget it. I should go.
[12:50] Chris
    Sorry, sorry. So what about this girl?
[12:53] Sousuke
    She's really straight-laced.
[12:55] Sousuke
    She couldn't believe that
    I skipped school for a silly reason.
[12:59] Sousuke
    She yelled at me, saying it wasn't good.
SIGN    The Class Rep
SIGN    Type
[13:02] Sousuke
    So I kinda snapped back at her
    in a passive-aggressive tone.
[13:08] Sousuke
    It probably hurt her.
[13:10] Chris
    Yikes. You need to cut that out.
[13:14] Chris
    It makes it seem like behind that smile,
    you're mad as all hell. It's scary!
[13:17] Chris
    But isn't that unusual for you?
[13:20] Sousuke
    Huh?
[13:21] Chris
    It's always in one ear
    and out the other with you.
[13:25] Sousuke
    Oh... Yeah, it's weird.
[13:27] Sousuke
    She's the best friend I have among the girls.
[13:30] Sousuke
    So I guess I just didn't
    wanna hear it from her.
[13:33] Chris
    My!
[13:34] Chris
    You should really tell her that!
[13:39] Sousuke
    Nah, I'll pass.
[13:41] Sousuke
    Like, I don't really see the point
    of "clearing the air" kinda talks.
[13:47] Sousuke
    If things are fine,
    they'll stay fine either way.
[13:50] Sousuke
    And if they're not, no amount
    of talking will make them fine.
[13:53] Chris
    Talk about detached.
[13:55] Chris
    But...
[13:57] Sousuke
    Okay, time to bounce.
[13:59] Chris
    Bye.
[13:59] Chris
    The fact that you're talking about any
    kind of relationship is headline news.
[14:12] Mitsumi
    I couldn't focus at all.
[14:15] Mitsumi
    A-Anyway, I'll go to class,
[14:19] Mitsumi
    and if Shima-kun's there,
    I'll say good morning to him.
[14:22] Mitsumi
    With a bright smile!
[14:23] Mitsumi
    Like I'm not bothered by anything!

    Suddenly got cold today, huh?
[14:53] Mitsumi
    Y-Yeah!
[14:56] Mitsumi
    It's more than ten degrees
    colder than yesterday.
[14:59] Sousuke
    It's that rainy season chill.
[15:01] Mitsumi
    Sure is.
SIGN    Fin
[15:10] Mitsumi
    We talked about the weather, and that was it.
[15:13] Kento
    Yo, 'sup!

    Morning.
[15:17] Koshino
    Morning.
[15:18] Nagata
    Morning, Shima-kun.
[15:19] Sousuke
    Morning.
[15:20] Mitsumi
    He is being kind of standoffish, isn't he?
[15:31] Sakura
    Pass these out, will you?
[15:33] Sousuke
    Sure.
[15:34] Sousuke
    I don't feel like doing
    anything when it rains.
[15:37] Tsukasa
    What, you think you're
    a king or something?
[15:38] Mika
    You two have a fight or something?
SIGN    Japanese History
[15:41] Mitsumi
    Wha... What gave you that idea?!
[15:43] Mika
    Call it a hunch.
[15:56] Mitsumi
    Listen. This is about a friend. Not me.
[16:00] Mika
    Huh? Okay...?
[16:02] Mika
    She's so obvious!
[16:03] Mitsumi
    Her and this classmate?
[16:04] Mitsumi
    Things got awkward between them because
    they both said something without meaning it.
[16:09] Mika
    Uh-huh. They may not have meant it,
    but did it upset the other person?
[16:15] Mitsumi
    I don't know about that...
[16:18] Mitsumi
    I only said anything because Shima-kun
    skipped school like it was nothing!
[16:21] Sousuke
    It sucks.
[16:23] Mitsumi
    Yeah! I was coming from a place of concern!
[16:26] Mitsumi
    No, I think she was just
    worried about her friend!
[16:30] Mika
    That so?
[16:33] Mika
    Then maybe there's no need to
    bring it back up and apologize.
[16:37] Mika
    If she said what she wanted to say,
    she should stick to her guns.
[16:41] Mitsumi
    What she wanted to say...?
[16:44] Mitsumi
    Huh? Hmm? Uh...
[16:47] Mitsumi
    What she wanted to say?
[16:48] Mika
    Look at the wheels turn.
[16:51] Mika
    You've got the advantage
    of being class officers with him.
[16:54] Mika
    Figure this out yourself.
[16:57] Mitsumi
    Did I say what I wanted to say?
[17:01] Yuzuki
    What are you talking about?
[17:03] Mitsumi
    Nothing!
[17:06] Makoto
    Want a snack?
[17:08] Mitsumi
    You've got the good stuff, Makocchan.
[17:10] Mika
    Croquettes from the school store?
[17:26] Mitsumi
    It's true that I was worried and that
    I thought it wasn't the right thing to do.
[17:31] Mitsumi
    But was that what I wanted to say?
[17:35] Mitsumi
    Doesn't feel like it, for some reason.
[17:40] Mitsumi
    What was the first thought
    that sprang into my mind?
[17:56] Mitsumi
    Sh... Shima-kun!
[17:59] Mitsumi
    Do you have a moment to talk?
[18:14] Sousuke
    Hey, is this about yesterday?
[18:18] Sousuke
    I'm sorry if I came off too harsh.
    I didn't mean to.
[18:25] Sousuke
    I have some things to do
    at home today. We good?
[18:28] Mitsumi
    Got it.
[18:29] Mitsumi
    Then let me just say one thing.
[18:33] Mitsumi
    About yesterday...
[18:35] Mitsumi
    I'm sorry for getting on your case
    about exam season and stuff.
[18:42] Mitsumi
    I was saying things that
    made me sound justified,
[18:45] Mitsumi
    but the truth is...
[18:50] Mitsumi
    I want you to come to school
    because it's boring without you around.
[18:53] Mitsumi
    That's what I really wanted to say.
[19:01] Mitsumi
    Th... That's all!
[19:03] Mitsumi
    See you!
[19:09] Sousuke
    Ah.
[19:18] Sousuke
    My family is pretty uninvolved right now.
[19:29] Sousuke
    We often don't even eat dinner together.
[19:32] Sousuke
    And I'll often stay the night
    with a friend from my acting days.
[19:36] Sousuke
    The third year of middle school,
    I'd stay out late due to cram school.
[19:40] Sousuke
    What I'm saying is...
[19:41] Sousuke
    I'm probably not as much of a mess
    as you're worried I am.
[19:47] Sousuke
    I do skip here and there, though.
[19:52] Mitsumi
    Is that so?
[19:54] Sousuke
    Ugh... My point is...
[19:58] Sousuke
    I wasn't mad because I thought
    you were bugging me.
[20:04] Sousuke
    I just hated the idea that you took
    those rumors about me seriously.
[20:09] Mitsumi
    Oh, I didn't! I just happened to hear it...
[20:12] Sousuke
    It's fine. I get it.
[20:15] Sousuke
    I'm used to people making up
    wild stories about me,
[20:19] Sousuke
    but Mitsumi-chan...
[20:21] Sousuke
    I don't want you to believe them!
[20:23] Sousuke
    Don't even listen to them.
[20:27] Mitsumi
    Okay! I won't listen!
[20:31] Mitsumi
    I see. So it was that, huh?
[20:35] Mitsumi
    Sorry. That was insensitive of me.
[20:40] Mitsumi
    Huh? What? Did I say something funny?
[20:44] Sousuke
    Nah, sorry. It's just...
[20:50] Sousuke
    I haven't made up with someone
    so dramatically since grade school!
[20:55] Mitsumi
    What? Really?!
[20:57] Sousuke
    Man, this is so funny. I can't stop laughing.
[21:01] Mitsumi
    What the heck?
[21:03] Mitsumi
    What's wrong with it every now and then?!
[21:06] Sousuke
    Yeah, nothing wrong with it now and then.
[21:11] Mitsumi
    Ugh, what is this feeling?
    Why do I feel so vulnerable?
[21:15] Mitsumi
    All I want to do is run away
    from here at full speed!
[21:19] (Flashback) Fumi
    I'd keep worrying about
    the right things to say,
[21:22] (Flashback) Fumi
    keep wanting to
    run away mid-sentence...
[21:26] Sousuke
    Man, but you know what?
[21:29] Sousuke
    I think this is the first time I've
    ever been real friends with a girl.
[21:45] Mitsumi
    Huh?
[21:47] Mitsumi
    Why does it feel so stuffy?
[21:49] Mitsumi
    Today's forecast said the maximum
    temperature would only be 20C.
[21:53] Fumi
    Hello? What's up, Mitsumi-chan?
[21:56] Mitsumi
    I think you can feel that way
    about a friend, too!
[21:59] Fumi
    Huh? Wait, what? What are you talking about?
[22:05] Mitsumi
    Summer is almost upon us.
