    (Isn't that maybe how love's defined?)
[00:02] ---
    Wow! A gift for you!
[00:04] ---
    (So, isn't that true love defined?)
[00:11] ---
    Nothing happening,
[00:13] ---
    every day feels the same
[00:15] ---
    Over and over, just
[00:17] ---
    waiting for time to pass
[00:19] ---
    When I'm with you,
[00:21] ---
    I can feel
[00:22] ---
    something so special,
[00:24] ---
    and I want to make it real
[00:27] ---
    Look, I'm really grateful every day, but you know
[00:30] ---
    I feel like I'm not doing enough in return
[00:32] ---
    "I was just feeling like it.
[00:33] ---
    No real meaning or reason why."
[00:35] ---
    Stop complaining and just take it already!
[00:39] ---
    (Isn't that maybe how love's defined?)
[00:40] ---
    Yeah, there's no way that's how it goes!
[00:42] ---
    (So, isn't that true love defined?)
[00:44] ---
    Whoa oh oh oh oh
[00:46] ---
    An angel just landed
[00:48] ---
    Right in front of me
[00:50] ---
    With a smile that looked
[00:52] ---
    Like her wings spreading open
[00:53] ---
    Hey, that's against all the rules
[00:55] ---
    You look so happy
[00:57] ---
    Wipe off that look

[01:35] Mahiru

    Hey, hey! What are you doing
    for sports day, Mahirun?
[02:17] Mahiru
    I still haven't decided,
    but the scavenger race does look fun.
[02:22] Chitose
    Oh, it'll be a blast!
[02:24] Chitose
    After all, I'm on the event committee,
     and I'm in charge of that one.
[02:28] Mahiru
    It sounds like a lot of fun, then.
[02:30] Itsuki
    Yo, Amane.
[02:32] Amane
    Yo.
[02:33] Yuta
    Morning, Fujimiya.
[02:35] Amane
    Morning.

    Morning, Amane!
[02:38] Amane
    Yeah. Morning.

[02:52] Itsuki
    Hey, Amane, are you two fighting or something?
[02:54] Yuta
    Huh? You're fighting, Fujimiya?
[02:57] Amane
    No, we aren't exactly fighting.
[03:00] Amane
    But it's, well, I don't know...
[03:03] Amane
    Some stuff just happened.
[03:08] Amane
    Just some stuff between us.
    We're kind of keeping our distance.
[03:12] Itsuki
    Come on, man. How long are you
    gonna mope around like that?
[03:15] Amane
    Shut up.
[03:17] Yuta
    Well, Fujimiya does seem
    like the cautious type.
[03:20] Yuta
    I doubt he'll make a move
    until he knows the coast is clear.
[03:23] Itsuki
    Yeah, and that's what I call moping around.
[03:27] Amane
    If I knew she liked me... if I could be
    more confident, it would be easier.
[03:32] Amane
    I mean, if I were better looking,
    I could be more confident that she likes me.
[03:37] Yuta
    You're really passive despite
     being such a quality catch.
[03:41] Amane
    Says the guy who's pretty
    much the top-quality catch.
[03:45] Amane
    Anyway, even with this going on,
    I'm still moving things along at my own pace.
[03:50] Amane
    Don't try to rush me, okay?
[03:53] Yuta
    I mean, that's fine if you say so, Fujimiya.
[03:56] Yuta
    But we're a little impatient over here.
[03:58] Itsuki
    Totally.
[03:59] Itsuki
    When's the next meeting of
    the Kick-Amane-in-the-Pants Committee?
[04:03] Amane
    What the hell are you guys plotting?
[04:06] Yuta
    Hey, this is our way of rooting for you.
[04:26] Mahiru
    Um, I want to apologize for yesterday.
     For leaving before dinner.
[04:33] Amane
    It's... fine. I'm not worried about it.
[04:45] Amane
    I mean... about yesterday, you know...
[04:52] Amane
    Why did you do that, Mahiru?
[04:56] Mahiru
    I guess I got carried away.
    Or I wanted to get back at you.
[05:00] Amane
    Get back at me?
[05:02] Mahiru
    Because you... did it too, right?
[05:06] Amane
    Wait, no...
[05:07] Amane
    Well, I guess I kind of did.
[05:11] Mahiru
    So don't I also have the right to?
[05:14] Amane
    That isn't the point.
[05:16] Amane
    I mean...
[05:19] Mahiru
    What is it?
[05:22] Amane
    Never mind.
[05:26] Chitose
    I'm on red!
[05:29] Amane
    Oh, right. Itsuki is on white.

[05:51] Amane
    What were the options again?
[06:03] Amane
    What sports day events
    did you sign up for, Mahiru?
[06:09] Mahiru
    I picked the relay and the scavenger race.
[06:12] Amane
    Oh, we're together, then.
[06:13] Amane
    I picked the bag toss and the scavenger race.
[06:17] Mahiru
    Here you go.
[06:18] Amane
    Yeah. Thank you.
[06:20] Mahiru
    Avoiding a workout at all costs, are you?
[06:22] Amane
    I'm not very athletic anyway.
[06:25] Mahiru
    Weren't your P.E. grades pretty
    average, Amane-kun?
[06:29] Amane
    Yeah, unfortunately.
[06:40] Mahiru
    Be honest with me.
    You hate sports day, don't you?
[06:43] Amane
    Yeah. I don't exactly hate exercise,
    I just hate being forced to do it.
[06:50] Mahiru
    I can't disagree with that.
    I don't really like to be forced, either.
[06:56] Amane
    Right? So, you know,
    I just play along and get it over with.
[07:02] Mahiru
    I guess I won't get to see you
    in all your athletic glory.
[07:05] Amane
    Who knows?
[07:07] Amane
    I might really shine in the bag toss.
[07:11] Mahiru
    Sure, it could happen.
[07:13] Amane
    It's still a boring event.
    I won't stand out either way.
[07:16] Mahiru
    You still have to try your best, though.
[07:19] Amane
    Yeah, I'll do all right.
[07:21] Mahiru
    Boy...
[07:31] Mahiru
    Huh?
[07:38] Mahiru
    This is the really good stuff, isn't it?
[07:40] Amane
    You can tell?
[07:41] Mahiru
    Well, I could tell from the container.
[07:45] Mahiru
    But it's better than I expected.
[07:46] Amane
    Oh, yeah? Here.
[07:53] Amane
    Oh, no! I did it again without thinking.
[07:57] Amane
    Mahiru, you can have the rest.
[08:02] Amane
    I'm making coffee, so I'm good.
[08:05] Amane
    It's yours.
[08:14] Amane
    I was trying to keep some distance between us,
[08:18] Amane
    but it never lasts.

    I'm pooped.
[08:28] Boy B
    Me, too, man.
[08:30] Boy C
    I can barely move.
[08:32] Yuta
    You don't seem to hate this, Fujimiya.
[08:35] Yuta
    I kind of thought you would.
[08:36] Amane
    Well, I got the events I wanted.
[08:39] Amane
    And it does give us some time off,
    so I guess it isn't too bad.
[08:43] Amane
    But why is Chitose in the relay race
    instead of someone from the track club?
[08:48] Amane
    Is she that fast?
[08:49] Yuta
    Yeah. Shirakawa-san is really fast.
[08:52] Yuta
    In middle school, she was
    the ace of the track team.
[08:55] Amane
    What? Seriously?
[08:56] Yuta
    Yeah.
[08:57] Yuta
    She never joined in high school, though.
[09:01] Yuta
    She didn't want to deal with drama
    from her senpai in the club.
[09:05] Amane
    I guess it's funny that she expected drama.
[09:08] Yuta
    Yeah, well... there's actually
    a reason for that.
[09:13] Yuta
    I think she'd had enough.
    She was just kind of tired.
[09:16] Amane
    Tired of what?
[09:18] Yuta
    A lot of stuff went on before she
    started going out with Itsuki.
[09:22] Yuta
    It's basically, like...
[09:25] Yuta
    One of her senpai in track liked Itsuki.
[09:29] Yuta
    And she also got better times
    than that senpai, so...
[09:32] Amane
    I could have guessed.
[09:34] Itsuki
    Chi! You're awesome! You did great!
[09:38] Chitose
    Ikkun!
[09:42] Chitose
    I'm back!
[09:43] Chitose
    Did you see?
[09:44] Yuta
    We did, we did! You were really fast!
[09:47] Chitose
    Yay! Thanks!
[09:49] Amane
    I guess I'd better get ready.
[09:52] Yuta
    Oh. The scavenger race, right?
[09:54] Amane
    Yeah.
[09:55] Chitose
    Amanay!
[09:56] Amane
    Huh?
[09:57] Chitose
    I'm in charge of the scavenger race!
[10:00] Chitose
    I promise it won't disappoint!
[10:02] Chitose
    Good luck, okay?
[10:05] Amane
    I have nothing but bad feelings about this.
[10:08] Chitose
    Participating athletes,
    please line up in order at the start line.
[10:14] Chitose
    On your mark, get set...
[10:26] Mahiru
    Fujimiya-san, you match what's on my card.
[10:29] Mahiru
    Once you find what you need,
    will you come with me?
[10:32] Amane
    Huh? I do?
[10:34] Mahiru
    Yes.
[10:39] Amane
    I won't let her off easy this time.
[10:41] Amane
    By the way, what are you looking for?
[10:43] Mahiru
    It's a secret.
[10:45] Amane
    You match what I need, too,
    so let's head for the finish line.
[10:48] Mahiru
    What were you searching for, Fujimiya-san?
[10:51] Amane
    It's a secret.
[10:54] Mahiru
    I suppose it is. It'll be fun to
    find out at the finish line.
[10:57] Amane
    Hey!
[11:00] Girl 1
    Huh? Is Shiina-san holding that guy's hand?
[11:03] Girl 2
    I'm sure it just means he matches her list.

    Fujimiya, you son of a—!
    Trade places with me!
[11:12] Chitose
    Oh, wow! Did they reach the goal together?
[11:15] Chitose
    And I believe they're both runners
    in the scavenger race!
[11:18] Amane
    We matched each other's item.
[11:21] Chitose
    Aha. Then let's read what you got.
    Who goes first?
[11:25] Mahiru
    Fujimiya-san, would you go first?
[11:27] Amane
    Sure.
[11:29] Chitose
    I'll read the cards now.

[12:28] Boy C
    Yeah, since when?
[12:29] Boy C
    You don't have anything in common!
[12:32] Boy A
    What is it? What the hell
    does Shiina-san see in you?!
[12:35] Boy C
    It doesn't make any sense!
[12:38] Amane
    I can't answer when you're all asking at once.
[12:41] Amane
    At least ask me one at a time.
[12:43] Boy A
    How long have you and Shiina-san been close?
[12:47] Amane
    Since last year.
[12:48] Boy A
    Huh?
[12:49] Boy A
    You mean the guy Shiina-san was with
     during New Year's and Golden Week was...?
[12:56] Amane
    That would be me.
[12:58] Girl C & D
    Huh?
[12:58] Boy B
    H-How did you get to know her?
[13:00] Boy C
    You guys have basically nothing in common!
[13:03] Boy C
    And you always acted like strangers!
[13:06] Amane
    We live near each other. That's how.
[13:08] Amane
    And we acted like strangers because
    we knew you guys would freak out like this.
[13:14] Boy C
    It still doesn't make sense.
[13:16] Boy B
    Fujimiya, then are you...
    g-going out with Shiina-san?
[13:26] Amane
    We do get along
[13:27] Amane
    and I think it's fair to say we're
    very dear to each other,
[13:30] Amane
    but we aren't going out.
[13:33] Amane
    My own feelings are another issue.
[13:35] Boy A
    Yeah, right. You still acted like you
    didn't give a damn about our angel.
[13:40] Amane
    I don't give a damn about your angel.
[13:43] Amane
    The person I'm interested in is
    a real girl named Mahiru Shiina.
[13:48] Mahiru
    Please don't bully him too much, okay?
[13:52] Mahiru
    It's lunch break and he can't even eat.
[13:54] Mahiru
    You're really making trouble for him.
[13:56] Boy A
    Shiina-san! Is Fujimiya
    the one who's "dear" to you?
[14:01] Mahiru
    Yes, Amane-kun is very dear to me.
[14:04] Boy A
    So, does that mean, like,
    you like him or something?
[14:08] Mahiru
    Supposing it does,
[14:10] Mahiru
    is there something you want to say to me?
[14:13] Boy A
    Ah, well, it's just...
[14:16] Boy A
    If you had to like someone,
    why'd it have to be someone like Fujimiya?
[14:21] Mahiru
    Someone like Fujimiya?
[14:23] Amane
    Mahi— Um, Shiina!
[14:25] Boy A
    Yeah, he's so dull. It's weird that
     you'd go for a guy like that.
[14:29] Boy A
    There are way better guys out there.
[14:31] Mahiru
    Oh, are there?
[14:35] Mahiru
    So, in what way, exactly, is Amane-kun dull?
[14:39] Boy A
    Huh? Well...
[14:41] Boy C
    I mean, it's obvious.
[14:42] Mahiru
    Exactly what part of him is dull?
    Would you mind explaining that to me?
[14:46] Boy A
    H-His style and stuff. His looks.
[14:50] Mahiru
    So you only care about
     people for their looks?
[14:53] Boy A
    N-No, it's just...
[14:55] Mahiru
    You would only like someone
    for their appearance?
[14:57] Mahiru
    You would choose a partner,
    someone you might spend a long time with,
[15:00] Mahiru
    just based on the way she looks now?
[15:02] Boy A
    I-I mean...
[15:04] Mahiru
    I think the real matter at issue here
[15:06] Mahiru
    is that you are wholly
    unqualified to comment
[15:09] Mahiru
    on who I choose to be with,
     for whatever reason.
[15:17] Mahiru
    Oh, that might have been
    a little too harsh. I'm sorry.
[15:22] Mahiru
    But allow me to correct
    what you were saying before.
[15:26] Mahiru
    Amane is very cool
    and he's a very kind person.
[15:30] Mahiru
    He has a calm, gentle way about him
    that I think is wonderful.
[15:35] Mahiru
    He's a delightful individual who respects me
[15:38] Mahiru
    and acts like a true gentleman.
[15:41] Mahiru
    When things are difficult,
    he stands by my side.
[15:45] Mahiru
    He's very thoughtful.
[15:47] Mahiru
    At the very least, he doesn't insult
    others or judge their relationships.
[15:54] Mahiru
    Was there anything else you wanted to say?
[15:57] Boy A
    N-No, there isn't.
[16:01] Boy B
    Sorry to bother you.
[16:06] Mahiru
    Let's eat together, Amane-kun.
[16:10] Amane
    Sure.
[16:12] Students
    One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six!
[16:20] Amane
    I've got to tell her.
[16:21] Students
    Seven! Eight!
[16:22] Amane
    When I get home, I'll tell her.
[16:44] Amane
    I need to find the right words.
[17:02] Mahiru
    Amane-kun.
[17:14] Mahiru
    I imagine you have a lot to say,
    and maybe a lot of questions for me.
[17:21] Mahiru
    But would you let me say one thing first?
[17:24] Amane
    S-Sure.
[17:26] Mahiru
    I feel bad about cornering you
[17:28] Mahiru
    and giving you a lot of attention
    that you probably didn't want.
[17:35] Mahiru
    I'm truly sorry about that.
[17:36] Amane
    Huh?
[17:38] Mahiru
    You see, I knew that this would happen.
[17:44] Amane
    Yeah, I could tell that you
     did it intentionally.
[17:49] Mahiru
    Huh?
[17:50] Mahiru
    And you aren't mad about it?
[17:52] Amane
    No, I'm not mad.
[17:54] Mahiru
    Really? That's a relief.
[17:59] Amane
    Now, will you let me apologize?
[18:01] Mahiru
    For what?
[18:04] Amane
    I'm sorry I'm such a coward.
[18:06] Amane
    I knew it, but I was too scared to act.
    I looked the other way.
[18:10] Amane
    I pretended not to notice your feelings.
    I pretended not to see.
[18:14] Amane
    I'm sorry.
[18:21] Mahiru
    Then I think we're both guilty.
    I acted basically the same way.
[18:26] Mahiru
    I wasn't able to make a move either until
    I was sure of your feelings for me.
[18:33] Mahiru
    Didn't I tell you before?
    About how selfish I am.
[18:38] Amane
    I'm not so sure.
[18:44] Amane
    I think I'm the selfish one.
[18:50] Amane
    Can I tell you how I feel?
[18:55] Amane
    You know, I've never seriously
    fallen for anyone before.
[19:01] Amane
    I mean, I never thought I would.
[19:04] Amane
    I never even thought I could.
[19:07] Mahiru
    Because of what happened in the past?
[19:09] Amane
    Yeah, that's why.
[19:11] Amane
    Because of that, I assumed I'd never
    be able to truly care about someone.
[19:18] Amane
    I didn't expect to be proven wrong so easily.
[19:22] Amane
    I guess people can change when they
    meet someone they really care about.
[19:27] Amane
    You know, Mahiru, at first
    I didn't think you were charming at all.
[19:31] Mahiru
    I know. You told me straight to my face.
[19:36] Amane
    I'm sorry I acted that way. Honestly.
[19:39] Amane
    When we first met, you were bossy,
    cold, and mean to me.
[19:45] Amane
    So I thought things should stay
    purely give-and-take between us.
[19:52] Amane
    Then at some point,
    I realized that wasn't enough.
[19:58] Amane
    I wanted to know more about you.
[20:01] Amane
    I wanted to touch you.
[20:04] Amane
    I wanted to hold you
    deep in my heart and treasure you.
[20:08] Amane
    I wanted you.
[20:10] Amane
    I'd never felt this way before.
[20:14] Mahiru
    I know.
[20:15] Amane
    I held back. Thought I wasn't good enough.
[20:19] Amane
    But then you told me I was.
[20:22] Amane
    So instead of avoiding it, I tried to
    think of ways to bring us closer together.
[20:28] Amane
    Of course, before I could make a move,
    you took the first step.
[20:34] Mahiru
    I was holding back, too.
[20:37] Mahiru
    I was worried someone else would see
    how cool you are and try to take you.
[20:43] Mahiru
    So I was in a cold sweat over whether
     you'd ever start to like me.
[20:48] Amane
    You're the only girl with
     tastes that unusual.
[20:51] Mahiru
    There you go again.
[20:58] Amane
    So, I'm going to work hard to
    make things less unusual for you.
[21:03] Mahiru
    Huh?
[21:05] Amane
    I don't want people to say
     you're strange for liking me.
[21:08] Amane
    I'll become a better man.
[21:11] Amane
    I'll climb to your level.
[21:13] Amane
    Well, maybe not that high, but
    close enough to feel worthy of you.
[21:20] Amane
    Mahiru, I care about you more than anyone.
[21:28] Amane
    Will you go out with me?
[21:31] Mahiru
    Mm-hmm.
[21:39] Amane
    I'll never let you go.
[21:42] Amane
    I want to make you happy.
[21:44] Mahiru
    But you won't promise that?
[21:46] Amane
    It's my one ambition.
[21:48] Amane
    I want to bring you happiness
    with my own two hands.
[21:53] Amane
    I give you my word.
    I will treasure you. Absolutely.
[22:00] Mahiru
    Okay.
[22:11] ---
    Your big, bright and sparkling eyes,
    they really flatter you
[22:18] ---
    And your playful voice
    and delicate hands also glow
[22:24] ---
    Though it's hard for you to smile,
    when one lights up your face,
[22:31] ---
    One more of the dreams I saw that day
    might just come true
[22:38] ---
    You see passing strangers come and go
[22:46] ---
    Why do you care about their happiness
[22:51] ---
    As much as you care about your own?
[22:57] ---
    It makes me really happy
    that you're someone that I got to know
[23:05] ---
    I can say that, and I'll do my best
    to keep you smiling
[23:10] ---
    Next year more, the next even more,
    my love will grow for you every way
[23:18] ---
    That's how much I know you fulfill me every day
[23:24] ---
    This message comes straight from me.
    I want you to know now that these words
[23:30] ---
    Are for you only
