**[00:19] Tomo**
I love you, Jun!
**[00:30] Tomo**
Can I get your response now?
**[00:32] Tomo**
*Right after I started high school,*
**[00:35] Tomo**
*I made a confession.*
**[00:38] Tomo**
* It was, without question,*
* a confession of love!*
**[00:45] Junichiro**
You're just telling me this *now*, Tomo?
**[00:54] Tomo**
*But...*
**[00:56] Junichiro**
I love you too, best bud!
**[00:58] Tomo**
Y-Yeah...
**[01:01] Tomo**
*This dude doesn't even see me as a girl!*
**[01:05] Tomo**
*But I, Aizawa Tomo...*
**[01:09] Tomo**
*am a girl!*
***SIGN*** I Want to Be Seen as a Girl!
**[01:20] Tomo**
"I Want to Be Seen as a Girl!"
**[01:26] Tomo**
I'm heading out.
***SIGN*** Aizawa
**[01:31] Junichiro**
Heya, Tomo.
**[01:34] Tomo**
Hey...
**[01:36] Tomo**
* This guy, Kubota Junichiro,*
* lives next door to me,*
**[01:39] Tomo**
* so we've hung out together*
* a lot since we were little.*
**[01:43] Tomo**
*We went to different elementary schools,*
**[01:47] Tomo**
*but in middle school...*
**[01:49] (Flashback) Tomo**
We can finally walk home together!
**[01:53] (Flashback) Junichiro**
You know...
**[01:54] (Flashback) Junichiro**
You're getting a little too
crazy with that skirt!
**[01:57] (Flashback) Junichiro**
What kind of new start are you making?
**[01:59] (Flashback) Tomo**
Huh?!
**[01:59] Tomo**
*That was when I first realized*
**[02:01] Tomo**
*that Jun thought of me as a guy!*
**[02:07] Junichiro**
We're gonna miss the bus.
**[02:08] Junichiro**
Let's move!
**[02:13] Junichiro**
What's up?
**[02:14] Tomo**
*This little...*
**[02:19] Junichiro**
What did I do?
**[02:21] Tomo**
Hmph!
**[02:21] Tomo**
*By the way, I do karate.*
**[02:24] Students**
Morning!
**[02:24] Students**
Hey.
***SIGN*** Uenomizu High School
**[02:34] Tomo**
That stupid Jun!
**[02:36] Tomo**
Is he gonna treat me like a guy forever?
**[02:39] Tomo**
You gotta say something
to him for me, Misuzu!
**[02:42] Misuzu**
Listen, Tomo...
**[02:44] Misuzu**
I'm saying this as someone who's been
a friend to both of you for years.
**[02:48] Misuzu**
Frankly, you're getting what you deserve.
**[02:50] Tomo**
Huh?
**[02:50] Misuzu**
You only ever play games that boys play.
**[02:53] Misuzu**
In middle school, you even fought
with kids from other schools.
**[02:56] Misuzu**
And while I'm at it...
**[02:58] Misuzu**
Even in kindergarten, whenever I asked
you to play house or dolls,
**[03:02] Misuzu**
you never once played with me.
**[03:05] Tomo**
S-Sorry...
**[03:07] Misuzu**
At this point, you might as
well just become a boy.
**[03:10] Misuzu**
What do you say?
**[03:12] Tomo**
Don't ask me that!
**[03:14] Tomo**
What the heck? You're gonna
treat me like a guy, too?
**[03:19] Misuzu**
Honestly, I'd like to, but...
**[03:21] Misuzu**
Unlike Junichiro, I've seen certain things...
**[03:25] Misuzu**
with a woman's eyes.
**[03:32] Misuzu**
Anyway, your first problem
is the way you talk.
**[03:35] Tomo**
Yeah, but I can't just start
talkin' girly outta nowhere.
**[03:39] Misuzu**
For starters, why not try
softening your tone a bit?
**[03:42] Misuzu**
Try being more polite and less blunt.
**[03:47] Junichiro**
Buying lunch from the school store?
What're you getting?
**[03:50] Tomo**
D-Do you mean me?
**[03:52] Tomo**
Gee, I don't know... Let me think...
**[03:55] Junichiro**
Why are you talking like that?
You sound like an old man!
**[03:58] Tomo**
*Old man...*
**[03:59] Tomo**
*Old man?!*
**[04:01] Tomo**
What the hell is your problem?!
**[04:03] Junichiro**
Huh?! What's *your* problem?!
**[04:05] Tomo**
Bring it!
**[04:07] Junichiro**
Fine by me!
**[04:10] Tomo**
Whoa, wait! Time out!
**[04:12] Junichiro**
Didn't you just tell me to bring it?!
**[04:14] Tomo**
I said knock it off!
**[04:23] Tomo**
I'm home.
**[04:25] Goro**
Hey! Tomo!
**[04:26] Goro**
What happened to your face?!
**[04:28] Tomo**
Ugh!
**[04:31] Tomo**
Got in a fight with Jun.
**[04:33] Goro**
Jun-bo?!
**[04:34] Goro**
You didn't lose to him, did you?!
**[04:38] Tomo**
Like I could win!
**[04:39] Goro**
Don't be a wuss! You call yourself
the heir to the Aizawa style?!
**[04:43] Tomo**
Don't be crazy!
**[04:45] Tomo**
You've been teaching him karate too, Dad!
**[04:48] Tomo**
First of all, I'm a girl!
**[04:50] Goro**
What'd you say?! Come to the dojo right now!
**[04:54] Goro**
I'm gonna beat some guts into you!
**[04:57] Tomo**
Shut up, old man!
**[04:59] Tomo**
This is all because of the
stupid way you taught me!
**[05:03] Tomo**
All of it!
**[05:04] Goro**
What are you talking about?!
**[05:09] Junichiro**
C'mon, Tomo, I said I was
sorry about yesterday.
**[05:12] Junichiro**
You're the one who hit me, anyway.
**[05:15] Junichiro**
Just look at my face!
**[05:18] Junichiro**
In fact, I feel like you've
been hitting me a lot lately.
**[05:22] Junichiro**
Hey, c'mon! Talk to me already!
**[05:26] Tomo**
**That* is exactly why!*
**[05:30] Junichiro**
To be honest, I still don't really get it...
**[05:33] Junichiro**
But I apologize, so don't be mad, okay?
**[05:36] Junichiro**
Life's boring when you're not around.
**[05:39] Junichiro**
I can't stand having you ignore
me for another second.
**[05:45] Tomo**
* He's always like this*
* the day after we fight.*
**[05:48] Tomo**
*What is he trying to do to me?*
**[05:51] Tomo**
F-Fine. I won't ignore you.
**[05:53] Junichiro**
Really?!
**[05:55] Junichiro**
You really are the best friend
I could ask for, Tomo!
**[05:58] Tomo**
Yeah, thanks.
**[06:01] Tomo**
*He seriously doesn't get it!*
**[06:06] Misuzu**
You know, Tomo...
**[06:08] Misuzu**
You and Junichiro always
come to school together,
**[06:12] Misuzu**
and you're together throughout
the school day too, aren't you?
**[06:14] Tomo**
I guess so.
**[06:16] Misuzu**
So why am I the one you
spend your lunch break with?
**[06:19] Tomo**
Well, I mean...
**[06:21] Tomo**
When a girl and a guy eat lunch
together, doesn't it look like...
**[06:25] Tomo**
they're dating or something?
**[06:26] Misuzu**
Do you hear yourself?
**[06:28] Misuzu**
But you'd rather eat lunch with him, right?
**[06:31] Tomo**
Huh?
**[06:32] Tomo**
Misuzu?
**[06:34] Misuzu**
Leave it to me.
**[06:35] Tomo**
W-Wait, wait! What are you gonna do?!
**[06:38] Misuzu**
The three of us can just eat together.
**[06:40] Tomo**
Not that! Anything but that!
**[06:43] Misuzu**
You don't mind, do you, Junichiro?
**[06:47] Junichiro**
What are you after, Gundo?
**[06:52] Junichiro**
Why do I have to eat with you?
**[06:55] Misuzu**
This isn't what I want, either.
**[06:57] Tomo**
*This is why I didn't want to do this!*
**[06:59] Tomo**
*These two hate each other's guts!*
**[07:01] Junichiro**
Hey, that fried chicken looks good.
**[07:03] Tomo**
Here, you can have a piece.
**[07:08] Junichiro**
Mm, that's good!
**[07:11] Tomo**
*What do I do with these chopsticks now?!*
**[07:18] Tanabe**
Yo, Kubojun.
**[07:20] Junichiro**
Hey, Tanabe.
**[07:22] Tanabe**
Be honest. How far have you
gotten with Aizawa-san?
**[07:25] Junichiro**
What are you talking about?
**[07:26] Tanabe**
Don't play dumb!
**[07:28] Tanabe**
What else could I mean but that intense
sport guys and girls do together?!
**[07:33] Junichiro**
Intense sport guys and girls do together?
**[07:38] Junichiro**
We've been doing that since we were kids.
**[07:40] Tanabe**
Huh?!
**[07:41] Tanabe**
For real?!
**[07:43] Tanabe**
She does look like she has
a p-pretty amazing body!
**[07:48] Junichiro**
Tomo's got good feet.
Good at using them, too.
**[07:51] Tanabe**
Her feet?!
**[07:52] Tanade**
That's hardcore, man!
**[07:57] Misuzu**
Junichiro was telling some guy that you and
he do an intense co-ed sport together.
**[08:02] Tomo**
Intense co-ed sport?
**[08:04] Tomo**
Oh, yeah, we do.
**[08:06] Misuzu**
Not that sport.
**[08:13] Tomo**
Jun, you asshole!
**[08:16] Junichiro**
Huh? Where'd that come from?
**[08:22] Junichiro**
Whoa... Wait a...
**[08:25] Misuzu**
Tanabe-kun, do you have a moment?
**[08:28] Tanabe**
Gundo-san? Sure! No problem!
**[08:31] Tanabe**
Huh? I misunderstood?
**[08:33] Misuzu**
Yes. Those two aren't dating.
**[08:36] Misuzu**
Junichiro doesn't even see Tomo as a girl.
**[08:39] Tanabe**
Huh?!
**[08:40] Tanabe**
Even though she's so... awesome?
**[08:42] Misuzu**
I agree with you, but you're pure scum.
**[08:45] Tanabe**
Anyway, I get it now. I didn't know
their relationship was so interesting.
**[08:50] Misuzu**
Interesting?
**[08:52] Tanabe**
There's no way *both* of
them feel nothing at all.
**[08:56] Tanabe**
How can I give them a push?
**[08:57] Misuzu**
Don't.
**[08:59] Tanabe**
Oh, sorry.
**[09:01] Tanabe**
You don't want anyone butting in
on your friends' love story, huh?
**[09:04] Misuzu**
You've only known Junichiro since
starting high school, right?
**[09:07] Tanabe**
Huh? Yeah...
**[09:09] Misuzu**
Then remember this.
**[09:11] Misuzu**
I'm the only one who's allowed
to play with those two.
**[09:15] Tanabe**
P-Play?!
**[09:27] Misuzu**
Oh, you forgot your umbrella, too?
**[09:30] Junichiro**
Gundo...
**[09:32] Junichiro**
I have one coming for me.
**[09:34] Misuzu**
I have one coming for me, too.
**[09:36] Tomo**
Hey!
**[09:38] Junichiro**
Does that mean it's a contest?
**[09:40] Misuzu**
It does indeed.
**[09:41] Junichiro**
Why are you beside me,
anyway? Go over there!
**[09:44] Misuzu**
You really hate me, don't you?
**[09:47] Misuzu**
The three of us used to play
together all the time, though.
**[09:50] Misuzu**
Why did things turn out like this?
**[09:53] Junichiro**
Yeah, the three of us did get up
to a lot of mischief together.
**[09:58] Junichiro**
All the pranks you came
up with were so extreme.
**[10:02] Junichiro**
But I never understood why...
**[10:04] Junichiro**
Whenever the grown-ups yelled at us,
**[10:07] Junichiro**
you were never around.
**[10:09] Misuzu**
Wasn't I?
**[10:12] Misuzu**
Why didn't you join any clubs?
**[10:14] Misuzu**
You like sports, don't you?
**[10:16] Junichiro**
I do karate at Tomo's family's dojo.
**[10:20] Junichiro**
Besides, there's no point if boys' clubs
and girls' clubs are separate.
**[10:24] Junichiro**
If I'm not in it with Tomo,
it wouldn't be any fun.
**[10:28] Misuzu**
Seriously, what *is* your deal?
**[10:30] Junichiro**
What deal?
**[10:31] Misuzu**
If Tomo were to get a boyfriend...
**[10:34] Junichiro**
Huh?
**[10:34] Misuzu**
What would happen to you?
**[10:37] Misuzu**
Have you ever imagined it?
**[10:39] Misuzu**
Tomo cozying up to some guy who
isn't you, unbeknownst to you...
**[10:43] Misuzu**
Then, with a red face, she says,
**[10:47] Misuzu**
"There's no one else in
this world that I lo—"
**[11:00] Tomo**
Huh? What're you guys doing?
**[11:03] Misuzu**
We both forgot our umbrellas.
**[11:05] Tomo**
Huh?
**[11:06] Junichiro**
Just leave her and walk home with me.
**[11:09] Tomo**
Huh?!
**[11:10] Tomo**
Let's walk home together!
**[11:13] Misuzu**
Why did you come to me?
**[11:15] Tomo**
I can't share an umbrella with him!
**[11:17] Misuzu**
That's what I'm telling you to do.
**[11:19] Tomo**
Huh?! But...
**[11:21] Misuzu**
Don't ask questions. Just go.
**[11:32] Junichiro**
C'mon, get closer to me.
**[11:34] Tomo**
I-I'm fine right here.
**[11:37] Junichiro**
No, you're not. You're getting wet.
**[11:39] Tomo**
I just came from practice,
so I smell sweaty.
**[11:42] Junichiro**
That's what you're worried about?
**[11:47] Junichiro**
You don't smell bad at all.
**[11:49] Tomo**
You idiot! Don't sniff me!
**[11:51] Junichiro**
In fact, you smell kinda nice...
**[12:02] Junichiro**
Hey! Tomo?!
**[12:08] Tanabe**
Hey, Misuzu-chan!
**[12:10] Misuzu**
"Misuzu-chan"?
**[12:11] Tanabe**
Did you forget your umbrella?
**[12:13] Tanabe**
Wanna get under mine?
**[12:15] Misuzu**
You're sure?
**[12:16] Tanabe**
Yeah, totally!
**[12:18] Misuzu**
Just me alone, though?
**[12:19] Tanabe**
Of course!
**[12:22] Misuzu**
Thanks. You're pretty nice.
**[12:36] Junichiro**
What the heck were you thinking?
**[12:37] Junichiro**
Now you're soaking...
**[12:40] Junichiro**
wet...
**[12:46] Tomo**
Huh? What... Jun?!
**[12:53] Tomo**
Wh-What the heck?
**[12:56] Tomo**
I seriously don't get him.
***SIGN*** A Terrifying Challenge
**[13:01] Tomo**
"A Terrifying Challenge."
**[13:13] Misaki**
*Aizawa-san is so amazing.*
**[13:18] Misaki**
*She's sharp, light on her feet, and...*
**[13:23] Misaki**
*stronger than anyone else!*
**[13:25] Misaki**
* My goddess has descended*
* into the karate club!*
**[13:33] Tomo**
I'm sorry, Misaki-senpai!
**[13:34] Tomo**
I got all heated without realizing it...
**[13:41] Misaki**
You're still as strong as ever, huh?
**[13:44] Tomo**
I'm so sorry!
**[13:46] Misaki**
Don't worry about it.
**[13:48] Misaki**
Anyway, are you used to the boys' club now?
**[13:51] Misaki**
It must be tough being the only girl here.
**[13:53] Tomo**
Nah, I'm fine!
**[13:55] Tomo**
All the other students at my family's
dojo are guys, too, so I'm used to it.
**[13:59] Tomo**
If I'm being honest, I wish I could've had
this much fun with other girls, but...
**[14:03] Misaki**
Yeah, I bet. If you want to go back,
I can talk to someone for you.
**[14:07] Tomo**
I can't go back.
**[14:09] Tomo**
In the first match I got into to
test the new students' skills...
**[14:13] Tomo**
I got... a little carried away.
**[14:17] Tomo**
And after that, nobody
would practice with me.
**[14:20] Misaki**
* I can see it. Even in the boys' club,*
* she's untouchable.*
***SIGN*** Boys' Karate Club
***SIGN*** Girls' Karate Club
**[14:25] Tomo**
I joined the girls' club for
a change of surroundings...
**[14:28] Tomo**
And before I knew it, I was
surrounded by guys again.
**[14:32] Tomo**
Maybe I'm just a failure as a girl...
**[14:34] Misaki**
Th-That's not true!
**[14:37] Misaki**
I think... you're a very charming girl.
**[14:41] Misaki**
At least, that's how I see you.
**[14:44] Tomo**
Huh?!
**[14:46] Tomo**
* It's the first time a guy ever*
* said something like that to me!*
**[14:50] Tomo**
Please tell me, Senpai!
What about me seems girly?!
**[14:54] Tomo**
What should I put more emphasis on?!
**[14:58] Tomo**
Senpai, you've found my
womanly charm, right?!
**[15:02] Misaki**
Huh?!
**[15:03] Misaki**
S-S-Sorry! I wasn't looking!
I didn't find anything!
**[15:06] Tomo**
Nothing?!
**[15:08] Tomo**
I knew it...
**[15:09] Misaki**
N-Not that! That's not what I meant!
**[15:11] Misaki**
You have all kinds of charms!
**[15:14] Misaki**
But I don't think you should try
to emphasize just one thing.
**[15:19] Misaki**
I wouldn't want you to change like that.
**[15:24] Misaki**
You're plenty charming
just the way you are,
**[15:27] Misaki**
so I think you can have more
confidence in who you are now.
**[15:39] Mifune**
Today's the day we talk to Misaki-senpai!
**[15:42] Ogawa**
Like, here he comes!
**[15:50] Tomo**
Hey, Senpai!
**[15:52] Tomo**
Thanks for your help today.
**[15:54] Ogawa**
Like, who the heck is that?
**[15:56] Mifune**
He's pretty hot, too, though.
**[15:58] Ogawa**
Wait, no! "He's" totally not!
**[16:00] Ogawa**
She's wearing, like, a skirt,
**[16:02] Ogawa**
and her boobs are, like, huge!
**[16:04] Mifune/Ogawa**
Like hell we're gonna let this happen!
**[16:11] Junichiro**
What?
**[16:12] Misuzu**
I hear Tomo has a friend
in the karate club.
**[16:15] Junichiro**
Isn't that normal?
What are you smirking about?
**[16:19] Misuzu**
A guy friend.
**[16:23] Misuzu**
What's wrong? That's quite
the face you're making.
**[16:33] Tomo**
Oh, crap. I forgot my English textbook.
**[16:37] Tomo**
Jun, let me look at yours.
**[16:39] Junichiro**
Sure.
**[16:41] Junichiro**
Hey, Tomo...
**[16:42] Junichiro**
I hear you made a friend
in the karate club.
**[16:45] Tomo**
You mean Misaki-senpai?
**[16:47] Junichiro**
Misaki? And who is that?
**[16:50] Tomo**
The captain of the club.
**[16:52] Tomo**
Here's a pic.
**[16:55] Junichiro**
*Oh, it's a girl.*
**[16:58] Junichiro**
Are there any girls you're
closer to than Gundo?
**[17:02] Tomo**
Nope. Why?
**[17:04] Junichiro**
I figured. I hate the thought of it, but...
**[17:08] Junichiro**
How would you feel if she got a boyfriend?
**[17:11] Junichiro**
If she got so wrapped up in him
that she stopped talking to you?
**[17:17] Tomo**
I can't even imagine
Misuzu being like that.
**[17:20] Tomo**
But... I guess...
**[17:23] Tomo**
I couldn't complain about it,
but I'd be a little lonely.
**[17:28] Junichiro**
Right?!
**[17:29] Junichiro**
Exactly! That's exactly it!
**[17:31] Tomo**
What are you talking about?
**[17:38] Mifune**
You're Aizawa-san from Class A, right?
**[17:41] Mifune**
I'm Mifune from Class B.
**[17:44] Ogawa**
And, like, I'm Ogawa, also from Class B.
**[17:47] Mifune**
We wanna talk to you about
something. Meet us after school.
**[17:51] Ogawa**
Like, behind the gym!
**[17:54] Tomo**
Doesn't sound like you're hoping
to become friends with me.
**[18:01] Tomo**
I dunno what you're up to,
**[18:03] Tomo**
but I don't get into half-assed fights.
**[18:06] Tomo**
Are you really ready for me?
**[18:08] Ogawa**
Huh?
**[18:09] Mifune**
Figh...
**[18:10] Tomo**
I asked you if you're ready for me!
**[18:13] Mifune**
*What the heck's her deal?!*
**[18:15] Ogawa**
*She's, like, scary as hell!*
**[18:18] Girl Student 1**
You want to know about Aizawa-san?
**[18:20] Girl Student 2**
Aizawa-san s-scares me!
**[18:23] Girl Student 2**
I was matched up with her
in the karate club,
**[18:25] Girl Student 2**
and her strength is seriously not human!
**[18:28] Girl Student 1**
She moved to the boys' club
and still hasn't lost a match!
**[18:31] Girl Student 2**
You're talking about a
fight with Aizawa-san?
**[18:33] Girl Student 2**
I-I'd die if I fought with her!
**[18:35] Mifune**
*Die? Am I... gonna die?*
**[18:39] Ogawa**
We gotta go apologize, like, right now!
**[18:42] Tomo**
These two girls I don't know picked
a fight with me outta nowhere.
**[18:46] Tomo**
I've never had an actual
throw-down with a girl before.
**[18:50] Misuzu**
A throw-down?
**[18:52] Misuzu**
You're not planning to
fistfight girls, are you?
**[18:54] Tomo**
C'mon, I'm not *that* ruthless!
**[18:57] Tomo**
I'll go easy on 'em.
**[18:59] Misuzu**
High school girls don't
communicate with their fists.
**[19:03] Tomo**
I know that! But I'm not gonna make
nice with girls who pick fights!
**[19:07] Tomo**
I'm gonna take the initiative
and settle the score right—
**[19:09] Misuzu**
You don't get it.
**[19:11] Misuzu**
I think they just want to
verbally quarrel with you.
**[19:15] Tomo**
Verbally?
**[19:16] Misuzu**
Yes. So you can't just come out swinging.
**[19:20] Misuzu**
If you want to make counterarguments
or corrections, use your words.
**[19:23] Misuzu**
Got it?
**[19:24] Tomo**
B-But...
**[19:26] Misuzu**
No buts.
**[19:27] Misuzu**
You really are frightening, you know that?
**[19:29] Misuzu**
That said...
**[19:30] Misuzu**
If they say anything too out of line, tell me.
**[19:35] Misuzu**
I'll crush them socially.
**[19:39] Tomo**
* I'd say you're a lot more*
* frightening than me.*
**[19:45] Tomo**
Well? What is it you wanna say to me?
**[19:48] Mifune**
I-It's not that big a deal, really...
**[19:51] Mifune**
So for now...
**[19:53] Mifune**
Could you drop the fighting stance, at least?
**[19:56] Tomo**
Depends on what you say.
**[20:01] Ogawa**
Carefully... Choose your words,
like, carefully!
**[20:05] Mifune**
*I wanna go home right now!*
**[20:07] Mifune**
S-See, there's... well... this guy we like...
**[20:11] Tomo**
And what's that got to do with me?
**[20:14] Mifune**
Well...
**[20:16] Mifune**
The guy we like is Misaki-senpai!
**[20:20] Mifune**
And we saw you being all
chummy with him, so...
**[20:25] Tomo**
So that's what this was about?
**[20:27] Mifune/Ogawa**
Huh?
**[20:29] Tomo**
You're saying...
**[20:30] Tomo**
You came to me for love advice
'cause I know Senpai?!
**[20:36] Tomo**
You should've said so from the start!
**[20:38] Ogawa**
*Huh?! Like, how did this happen?!*
**[20:41] Mifune**
*And why does she sound so happy?!*
**[20:44] Tomo**
* I never thought my little dream of giving*
* someone love advice would come true!*
**[20:47] Tomo**
* A girl who can be relied on in matters*
* of love is truly a girl among girls!*
**[20:54] Tomo**
You want to get closer to Senpai, right?
**[20:57] Tomo**
So the first thing you gotta
do is be my friends!
**[21:02] Tomo**
If you're willing to accept
my help, I'm here.
**[21:05] Mifune**
S-Sure...
**[21:07] Mifune**
*Why do I feel so reassured?*
**[21:10] Ogawa**
*She's, like, so reliable somehow...*
**[21:18] Tomo**
Man! I never thought I'd end
up giving love advice!
**[21:22] Tomo**
Feels like I'm totally
one of the girls now!
**[21:25] Tomo**
Maybe I actually have a
ton of feminine appeal?
**[21:30] Misuzu**
I don't know about that.
**[21:34] Misuzu**
Hey, Tomo.
**[21:35] Misuzu**
Do you know what people called you
behind your back in middle school?
**[21:39] Tomo**
Huh? No idea.
**[21:41] Misuzu**
The Natural Lady-Killer.
**[21:43] Tomo**
What the heck? I've never killed anyone.
**[21:49] Junichiro**
Tomo! Let's hit up the school store!
**[21:51] Tomo**
Wait... Hang on, Jun!
**[21:54] Junichiro**
All right! What do you wanna eat?
**[21:55] Tomo**
I don't...
**[21:57] Mifune**
She actually *is* a girl.
**[21:59] Ogawa**
Totally a girl.
**[22:00] Tomo**
*Seriously, he's so...*
**[22:04] Tomo**
*Just start treating me like a girl already!*
**[22:20] OP**

Wanna sit?

Actually, I'll stand.

Yeah? Okay.

"Tomo's Skirt."
**[02:27] Tomo**
*It's getting pretty crowded.*
**[02:33] Tomo**
*Wh-What?! Is this what they call a groper?!*
**[02:38] Tomo**
*Wait, that couldn't happen
to* me *of all people...*
**[02:40] Tomo**
*He just groped me?!*
**[02:42] Tomo**
*I just wanna slug him right now!*
**[02:45] Tomo**
*But...*
**[02:47] Tomo**
* I'm not sure why, but I don't*
* want Jun to know about this.*
**[02:52] Tomo**
*This is so gross.*
**[02:54] Tomo**
* I feel like I have to just put*
* up with it, or I'll start crying.*
**[03:02] Junichiro**
What the hell do you think you're doing?
**[03:10] Tomo**
* Jun took care of everything,*
* from reporting the guy*
**[03:13] Tomo**
*to handing him over to the authorities.*
**[03:15] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Lock him up for life, please.
**[03:18] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Tomo, you okay?
**[03:21] (Flashback) Tomo**
Oh... Yeah...
**[03:25] Junichiro**
Be sure to go talk to the police later.
**[03:25] Tomo**
*I've never seen Jun like this before.*
**[03:27] Junichiro**
Gonna be a pain in the ass, but...
**[03:28] Tomo**
* I feel like he's actually treating*
* me like a girl right now.*
**[03:31] Junichiro**
Also, you know...
**[03:33] Junichiro**
Hey! Are you listening?
**[03:36] Tomo**
Huh? Wh-What's up?
**[03:38] Junichiro**
I was saying...
**[03:41] Junichiro**
Maybe you should stop wearing skirts.
**[03:46] Tomo**
Huh?
**[03:49] Misuzu**
What did you just say?
**[03:51] Tomo**
When I got groped on the
bus yesterday, Jun said—
**[03:55] Misuzu**
What's this about groping?
**[03:57] Misuzu**
What did he do to you? Are you okay?
**[04:01] Tomo**
Oh... Yeah...
**[04:02] Tomo**
He just touched my butt a little.
**[04:05] Misuzu**
Did you take him to the police?
**[04:06] Misuzu**
You didn't let him go, did you?
**[04:09] Tomo**
Jun took care of all that.
**[04:15] Misuzu**
I see.
**[04:19] Tomo**
Uh... Misuzu?
**[04:21] Misuzu**
Anyway, what were you saying about him?
**[04:23] Tomo**
Huh? Oh...
**[04:26] Tomo**
Well, he said...
**[04:28] (Flashback) Tomo**
What the hell are you saying?
**[04:30] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Our school allows girls to wear slacks, too.
Why not wear those?
**[04:34] (Flashback) Tomo**
But why are you suddenly
bringing this up *now*?
**[04:37] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Why? Because...
**[04:39] (Flashback) Junichiro**
It...
**[04:40] (Flashback) Junichiro**
It looks wrong on you!
**[04:43] (Flashback) Junichiro**
And I can't relax when you're wearing it.
**[04:47] (Flashback) Tomo**
I know damn well it looks wrong on me!
**[04:50] (Flashback) Tomo**
Jun, you asshole!
**[04:54] Tomo**
Just when I thought he was finally
treating me like a girl!
**[04:57] Tomo**
That jerk!
**[04:58] Misuzu**
I see.
**[04:59] Misuzu**
But if you think about the circumstances,
**[05:02] Misuzu**
he may have said it because he doesn't
want you getting groped again.
**[05:06] Tomo**
Huh?
**[05:07] Tomo**
You mean he was thinking about me that way?
**[05:11] Tomo**
*Jun* was?
**[05:13] Misuzu**
I'm sorry. That was an
irresponsible thing to say.
**[05:17] Tomo**
No?! So there's no chance of that at all?!
**[05:21] Misuzu**
Anyway, I noticed a while ago,
but hadn't said anything...
**[05:24] Misuzu**
Your skirt is pretty short.
**[05:28] Misuzu**
I didn't think you were the type
to enjoy showing that much leg.
**[05:33] Misuzu**
Why do you wear it so short?
**[05:35] Tomo**
Well, 'cause it's easier to move around in.
**[05:37] Tomo**
What other reason would there be?
**[05:40] Misuzu**
Yeah, skirts really aren't meant for you.
**[05:43] Misuzu**
For starters...
**[05:44] Misuzu**
Try taking off the shorts for a while.
**[05:47] Tomo**
What?! No way!
**[05:50] Tomo**
What are you getting all pervy for?!
**[05:52] Misuzu**
I'm not.
**[05:53] Misuzu**
Look, Tomo...
**[05:55] Misuzu**
The normal way to wear a skirt is with
nothing but your panties underneath.
**[05:58] Tomo**
You liar!
**[05:59] Tomo**
If your skirt flipped up,
people would see everything!
**[06:02] Misuzu**
That's what skirts *are*.
**[06:04] Misuzu**
Even I...
**[06:06] Misuzu**
only have panties on under mine today.
**[06:08] Tomo**
Huh?!
**[06:09] Tomo**
That's the kind of girl you are?
**[06:12] Misuzu**
I haven't done anything to
deserve that creeped-out look.
**[06:19] Misuzu**
Junichiro.
**[06:22] Junichiro**
Huh?
**[06:24] Misuzu**
I heard what happened.
**[06:26] Misuzu**
You had a fight with Tomo, huh?
**[06:28] Junichiro**
Lay off.
**[06:30] Misuzu**
Tomo says she wants to walk home with you.
**[06:33] Misuzu**
She's waiting downstairs.
You'd better go now.
**[06:38] Junichiro**
For real?! She's not mad anymore?!
**[06:41] Misuzu**
That's right.
**[06:42] Junichiro**
Sweet!
**[06:51] Tomo**
Hey, Jun.
**[06:54] Tomo**
Let's walk home together.
**[07:00] Tomo**
Jun?!
**[07:02] Junichiro**
Let's go.
**[07:03] Tomo**
Y-Yeah...
**[07:10] Misuzu**
*Just try going without the shorts for now.*
**[07:12] Misuzu**
* I bet that'll get a different*
* reaction out of Junichiro.*
**[07:15] Tomo**
*I ended up taking them off like Misuzu said.*
**[07:19] Tomo**
Hey, Jun...
**[07:21] Tomo**
Sorry I hit you so hard yesterday.
**[07:25] Tomo**
Okay?
**[07:28] Tomo**
* She's right. Jun's reacting totally*
* differently than he has before.*
**[07:32] Tomo**
Huh?
**[07:33] Tomo**
Jun?!
**[07:35] Tomo**
*In fact, he's being just plain weird!*
**[07:40] Tomo**
Standing room only again?
**[07:43] Tomo**
This bus is always packed lately.

**[08:18] Tomo**
Wait up, would you?!
**[08:28] Tomo**
Jun?!
**[08:32] Junichiro**
Sorry.
**[08:33] Tomo**
Huh?
**[08:34] Junichiro**
Something was wrong with me yesterday.
**[08:37] Junichiro**
I know just being best buds doesn't give me
the right to tell you to dress differently.
**[08:42] Junichiro**
But...
**[08:43] Junichiro**
I don't think it's right to wear
stuff that *you* feel embarrassed in.
**[08:47] Junichiro**
It messes things up for me, too.
**[08:52] Tomo**
*Jun's making such an interesting face!*
**[08:55] Junichiro**
Are you even listening to me?
**[09:01] Misuzu**
How'd it go after you took
off the shorts yesterday?
**[09:05] Tomo**
It went horribly! That's how!
**[09:07] Tomo**
I'm never dressing like that again!
**[09:10] Misuzu**
Did he see your panties?
**[09:14] Misuzu**
Bull's-eye.
**[09:15] Misuzu**
Okay, and how did Junichiro react?
**[09:18] Tomo**
Actually, I don't really know why, but...
**[09:23] Tomo**
He dropped like a rock.
**[09:29] Misuzu**
I hear you haven't said
a word to Tomo all day.
**[09:33] Misuzu**
She seemed pretty sad.
**[09:35] Junichiro**
Shut up.
**[09:37] Misuzu**
It's unusual for you to
avoid Tomo for half a day.
**[09:41] Misuzu**
I guess it'll take a while for
you to reset this time, huh?
**[09:46] Misuzu**
Go on, try—
**[09:58] Junichiro**
Heya, Tomo! Let's eat lunch together!
**[10:02] Tomo**
Jun!
**[10:03] Tomo**
I keep telling you not to pop
up outta nowhere like that!
**[10:06] Junichiro**
Aw, don't be mean!
**[10:07] Tomo**
I'm not!
**[10:09] Junichiro**
I'm just acting like I always do!
**[10:10] Misuzu**
* It'll be interesting to see*

Morning.

You look as cute as ever!
**[10:28] Boy Student 3**
Can I carry your bag for you?
**[10:30] Carol**
No, thanks.
**[10:37] Tomo**
There she is. Carol Olston.
**[10:39] Tomo**
Surrounded from the moment she
shows up, just like every day.
**[10:43] Tomo**
If she's the most popular with the guys,
**[10:46] Tomo**
does that mean she's the girliest?
**[10:48] Misuzu**
It's hard to say.
**[10:50] Tomo**
Must be nice... How do
you even get that way?
**[10:55] Misuzu**
For starters...
**[10:56] Misuzu**
Put down the dumbbell.
**[11:00] Misuzu**
She's not just popular for her looks.
**[11:03] Misuzu**
She's also the only English student in the
school, so she has a certain premium feel.
**[11:08] Misuzu**
Also...
**[11:12] Tomo**
What?
**[11:13] Misuzu**
Her personality.
**[11:15] Misuzu**
That soft, defenseless feel she has
hits the guys right in their instincts.
**[11:20] Tomo**
What, so being defenseless is good?
**[11:22] Tomo**
Someone like that would get
knocked out in no time!
**[11:25] Misuzu**
You should really stop thinking
in terms of knocking people out.
**[11:34] Tomo**
* How can being defenseless*
* actually be better?*
**[11:38] Tomo**
* If I make friends with*
* that cotton candy chick,*
**[11:41] Tomo**
*will I find out?*

Aizawa-san!
**[11:46] Misaki**
What's wrong? You look lost in thought.
**[11:50] Tomo**
Misaki-senpai...
**[11:52] Tomo**
Whoa! Cotton Candy!
**[11:54] Misaki/Carol**
Cotton Candy?
**[11:56] Tomo**
What are you two doing together?
**[11:59] Misaki**
She's a distant relative of mine.
**[12:02] Misaki**
You could say we've been friends
since we were little... or...
**[12:04] Carol**
We're engaged.
**[12:05] Tomo**
Engaged?!
**[12:06] Tomo**
Are you... serious?
**[12:08] Tomo**
You two are getting married someday?
**[12:10] Misaki**
It has been discussed, I guess...
**[12:13] Carol**
We've already gotten married.
**[12:16] Carol**
Three times.
**[12:19] Misaki**
She's talking about when we were kids,
*pretending* to get married!
**[12:23] Misaki**
Anyway, are you a friend of Carol's?
**[12:27] Tomo**
No, we haven't really talked much,
**[12:30] Tomo**
but we're in the same class.
**[12:32] Tomo**
Right?
**[12:35] Tomo**
You don't remember?
**[12:37] Carol**
Dunno.
**[12:38] Carol**
I'm not interested in the boys in our class.
**[12:40] Tomo**
I'm a girl! Do you not see the skirt?!
**[12:44] Misaki**
S-Sorry! I'm so sorry!
**[12:46] Misaki**
She's a little strange,
**[12:48] Misaki**
but she doesn't mean any harm,
so let it slide, okay?
**[12:51] Tomo**
Well, if you say so, Senpai.
**[12:54] Misaki**
Thanks, Aizawa-san.
You're a really nice person.
**[12:58] Tomo**
Huh? Not really...
**[13:01] Carol**
A girl...
**[13:05] Carol**
Poke!
**[13:07] Misaki**
She doesn't... mean any harm, right?
**[13:10] Tomo**
Hey... Come on, Carol!
**[13:15] Carol**
Dummy.
**[13:20] Carol**
Dummy.
**[13:21] Carol**
Dummy.
**[13:26] Misuzu**
So... what's that all about?

That's what *I* wanna know.
**[13:31] Tomo**
I only talked to her for
the first time today,
**[13:33] Tomo**
but she's apparently
Misaki-senpai's fiancée.
**[13:36] Misuzu**
Ah, I get it.
**[13:37] Misaki**
And Senpai was with you when
you talked to her, wasn't he?
**[13:41] Tomo**
Yeah, he was.
**[13:43] Misaki**
And you have no idea why she picked
a fight with you in that situation?
**[13:48] Tomo**
Right. I don't remember doing anything.
**[13:51] Misuzu**
Dummy.
**[13:53] Tomo**
Why are you doing that now, too?!
**[13:56] Carol**
Misuzu-chan, Misuzu-chan.
**[13:58] Carol**
There's something I want
to talk to you about.
**[14:00] Misuzu**
Fine...
**[14:02] Misuzu**
But first, get off my desk.
**[14:04] Carol**
Okay.
**[14:06] Misuzu**
Let's get this out of the way first.
**[14:09] Misuzu**
I'm not fond of people like you.
**[14:11] Carol**
Okay, got it.
**[14:13] Carol**
I want to ask you some
questions about Tomo-chan.
**[14:16] Misuzu**
You're tough.
**[14:18] Misuzu**
You seem to see Tomo as your enemy,
**[14:21] Misuzu**
but no matter what you might think,
I consider myself her best friend.
**[14:25] Misuzu**
If you're trying to dig up dirt,
ask someone else.
**[14:27] Carol**
Even if I'd treat you to cake? It's tasty...
**[14:31] Misuzu**
I'll hear you out, at least.
**[14:34] Carol**
Okay, so...
**[14:35] Carol**
How do you think I can defeat Tomo-chan?
**[14:38] Misuzu**
At least try to cover up
your malice a *little* bit.
**[14:41] Misuzu**
*Now, I wonder how I can use this girl.*
**[14:44] Misuzu**
If that's what you want to know...
**[14:47] Misuzu**
There's someone else who
can help you more than me.
**[14:50] Boy Student 3**
Hey, who's your favorite girl in first year?
**[14:54] Boy Student 4**
Carol-chan, obviously!
**[14:56] Boy Student 4**
She's as cute as a doll!
**[14:58] Tanabe**
Mine's Misuzu-chan! I love those icy eyes!
**[15:02] Carol**
Hi.
**[15:04] Carol**
Are you Kubota Junichiro?
**[15:06] Junichiro**
Yeah, that's me.
**[15:08] Carol**
There's something I want
to talk to you about.
***SIGN*** Boys' Locker Room
**[15:11] Junichiro**
First of all...
**[15:13] Junichiro**
Get out of my locker.
**[15:16] Carol**
I said there was someone I want to defeat,
**[15:18] Carol**
and I was referred to you.
**[15:20] Junichiro**
So Gundo sent you, huh?
**[15:23] Junichiro**
I don't really like that, but...
**[15:26] Junichiro**
* I'm surprised there's someone besides*
* her who'd want to beat someone up.*
**[15:31] Junichiro**
I was just looking for a way to kill
time while my buddy's doing club stuff.
**[15:36] Junichiro**
I'll help pump you up if you
can meet me after school.
**[15:38] Carol**
Pump me up?
**[15:40] Junichiro**
First, let's see you hit
me as hard as you can.
**[15:44] Carol**
Like this?
**[15:45] Junichiro**
I was hoping you'd hit my hand, actually...
**[15:48] Junichiro**
Anyway, you're pretty damn weak, aren't you?
**[15:51] Junichiro**
A kitten could beat you up.
**[15:54] Carol**
Are you going to make me stronger?
**[15:56] Junichiro**
Well, it depends on how far you're
willing to go, but give me a month.
**[16:01] Junichiro**
I'll get you to bear cub level, at least.
**[16:04] Carol**
Are those strong?
**[16:09] Junichiro**
Yo, let's go, Blondie.
**[16:11] Carol**
My name isn't Blondie.
**[16:13] Carol**
It's Carol.
**[16:15] Junichiro**
Whatever. Just come on.
**[16:17] Carol**
'Kay!
**[16:22] Misuzu**
Yes, I know.
**[16:23] Tomo**
Did you see that?! What was that about?!
**[16:26] Tomo**
Why is Jun acting like that with her?!
**[16:29] Misuzu**
I don't know, but...
**[16:31] Misuzu**
It's obvious that something happened.
**[16:34] Misuzu**
For Junichiro to be like that
with a girl who isn't you...
**[16:39] Misuzu**
Maybe they're actually...
**[16:42] Tomo**
No! No way!
**[16:44] Tomo**
I mean, she has a fiancé!
**[16:46] Tomo**
Wait, but... maybe...
**[16:49] Misuzu**
*That's right, Tomo.*
**[16:50] Misaki**
* That's the sense of urgency*
* that you need more of.*
**[16:54] Junichiro**
Okay, we're gonna start by running.
**[16:57] Carol**
'Kay!
**[17:04] Junichiro**
What's wrong?
**[17:07] Carol**
I can't run any more.
**[17:09] Junichiro**
Are you kidding me?
**[17:11] Tomo**
*I wonder...*
**[17:13] Tomo**
* what Jun and that girl*
* are up to right now...*
**[17:22] Tomo**
*Jun...*
**[17:23] Misaki**
A-Aizawa-san...
**[17:26] Club Boys**
Captain!
**[17:28] Junichiro**
Next is strength training.
**[17:30] Carol**
'Kay!
**[17:32] Junichiro**
One...
**[17:35] Carol**
I can't.
**[17:36] Junichiro**
One...
**[17:39] Carol**
I can't.
**[17:40] Junichiro**
Look... What *can* you do?
**[17:44] Carol**
I can jump rope.
**[17:46] Carol**
'Cause I like bunnies.
**[17:48] Junichiro**
Okay, I don't know what
that means, but go for it.
**[18:01] Carol**
Why are you looking up?
**[18:03] Junichiro**
Neck exercise!
**[18:06] Tomo**
Jun! This is where you've...
**[18:08] Tomo**
been...
**[18:08] Junichiro**
Okay, when your enemy comes
up on you like this...
**[18:11] Carol**
Hey, there's my enemy!
**[18:14] Junichiro**
You were talking about Tomo?!
**[18:16] Junichiro**
She's really strong, though!
**[18:18] Tomo**
Wha...
**[18:19] Tomo**
What the hell are you guys doing?!
**[18:21] Tomo**
I asked you what you're doing, damn it!
**[18:24] Junichiro**
H-Hey... What are you so mad about?
**[18:28] Tomo**
I'm not mad! I'm just asking!
**[18:31] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Just stick close to him,
and you'll find out in no time.
**[18:35] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Assuming you're not a total idiot, that is.
**[18:38] Carol**
I lose.
**[18:41] Carol**
Tomo-chan, Tomo-chan.
**[18:43] Carol**
I'm done being your enemy now, okay?
**[18:45] Tomo**
Huh?
**[18:47] Carol**
I'm done with this training, too.
**[18:49] Carol**
Bye-bye!
**[18:53] Misuzu**
I came along because you promised
to treat me to cake...
**[18:58] Misuzu**
But why are we in this
unnecessarily long car?
**[19:01] Misuzu**
And who is that guy in the black suit?
**[19:04] Carol**
I dunno.
**[19:05] Misuzu**
You're the one who called him.
**[19:07] Carol**
There are lots of guys in black suits
at my house whose names I don't know.
**[19:11] Carol**
Don't you have any at your house?
**[19:14] Misuzu**
I'm pretty sure most people don't.
**[19:17] Carol**
Hey, so, Misuzu-chan...
**[19:19] Carol**
Since we're eating cake together,
**[19:21] Carol**
does that mean we're friends now?
**[19:24] Misuzu**
I'm not sure.
**[19:26] Misuzu**
Do you want friends?
**[19:28] Carol**
Yeah!
**[19:29] Carol**
I don't have even a single friend.
**[19:32] Carol**
Dunno why.
**[19:33] Misuzu**
Indeed, I wonder why.
**[19:36] Misuzu**
If you want friends,
you should talk to Tomo.
**[19:40] Misuzu**
I'm sure she'd be your friend.
**[19:43] Misuzu**
* And it would be a great*
* motivator for Tomo, too.*
**[19:46] Carol**
Hmm... I did a lot of mean
things to her, though.
**[19:50] Misuzu**
So you do feel bad about it, then?
**[19:52] Misuzu**
That doesn't matter, though.
**[19:55] Misuzu**
She's nice to a fault toward
anyone who approaches her.
**[20:00] Misuzu**
She calls a girl like me
her best friend, after all.
**[20:04] Carol**
I see...
**[20:06] Carol**
Even despite your bad personality, huh?
**[20:09] Misuzu**
That's exactly your problem.
**[20:12] Carol**
Hey, Tomo-chan!
**[20:14] Tomo**
Oh, it's you. What is it now?
**[20:17] Carol**
Well...
**[20:19] (Flashback) Young Carol**
Fwiend!
**[20:20] (Flashback) Girls**
Ew, no way.
**[20:23] (Flashback) Carol**
Friends?
**[20:25] (Flashback) Girls**
Uh, I dunno...
**[20:26] (Flashback) Girls**
Let's not...
**[20:30] Carol**
Um... It's kind of hard to say, but...
**[20:36] Tomo**
*Th-There's something that's
hard for* her *to say?*
**[20:39] Tomo**
* What kind of crazy thing*
* is she about to say?!*
**[20:43] Carol**
I want you to be my friend!
**[20:46] Tomo**
Huh?
**[20:47] Tomo**
Oh, sure, that's fine.
**[20:50] Carol**
Huh?
**[20:50] Tomo**
Jeez, that's what you wanted?
**[20:53] Tomo**
I didn't know what I was gonna do
if you called me your enemy again.
**[20:57] Tomo**
Okay, well... nice to know ya!
**[21:11] Carol**
Tomo-chan, you're...
**[21:14] Carol**
just like an angel!
**[21:16] Tomo**
Huh? An a-angel?!
**[21:19] Carol**
Misuzu-chan, will you be my friend, too?
**[21:21] Misuzu**
Fine with me.
**[21:23] Misuzu**
You seem to be pretty rich, after all.
**[21:26] Carol**
Yay!
**[21:28] Carol**
I'm so glad I'm rich!
**[21:32] Tomo**
I never thought I'd end up
being friends with her.
**[21:36] Tomo**
She's pretty nice once you
talk to her a little.
**[21:38] Junichiro**
Huh...
**[21:40] Junichiro**
That blonde and Gundo are apparently
pretty popular with the guys.
**[21:44] Tomo**
Well, they're both cute and girly, I guess.
**[21:48] Junichiro**
Are they?
**[21:49] Junichiro**
Well, not that I'm in any place
to say much about Gundo...
**[21:54] Tomo**
Huh?!
**[21:55] Tomo**
Wait, are you saying you
have a thing for Misuzu?!
**[21:58] Junichiro**
Hell no.
**[22:00] Junichiro**
You know we went out for a
while in middle school, right?
**[22:04] Tomo**
Huh?
**[22:10] ED**
*(This suspicious behavior is...)*
**[22:14] ED**
*Hey, you know, I'm all mixed up*
**[22:18] ED**
*It's too complicated, I'm freaking out*
**[22:23] ED**
*I want to look cute to you*
**[22:23] ED**
*(crazy, crazy, drive me crazy, and that's…)*
**[22:25] ED**
* So I'm plotting, bargaining,*
* sly, and stubborn*
**[22:29] ED**
*Dizzying love*
**[22:34] ED**
*Just tell him to look at you*
**[22:38] ED**
* And watch him stiffen up even more,*
* because you're both so awkward*
**[22:43] ED**
*What? Even if we're alike in that way*
**[22:47] ED**
* It doesn't make me happy, 'cause it*
* means our love is going nowhere*
**[22:52] ED**
* Cloudy heart, swirling emotions—*
* I sense rain coming*
**[23:00] ED**
* So I partly open my umbrella,*
* then sneakily scoot closer to you*
**[23:10] ED**
* Please notice the curl of my*
* eyelashes as I keep blinking*
**[23:14] ED**
*And don't say I'm acting weird*
**[23:18] ED**
* All this plotting and bargaining*
* is my sly plan to look cute to you*
**[23:22] ED**
* Try to solve the riddle of*
* this soft, dizzying love*
**[23:25] ED**
*(Buzzing, fidgeting)*
**[23:30] ED**
* Listen, I might be a bit*
* tangled in my own web now*
**[23:34] ED**
* But once you unravel the mystery,*
* you'll see pure lo-love*

**[02:01] Tomo**
Hey, Misuzu!
**[02:03] Tomo**
What's this about you going out
with Jun in middle school?!
**[02:07] Misuzu**
He finally let it slip, did he?
**[02:10] Tomo**
Why would you do that?!
**[02:11] Tomo**
You know how I feel about Jun, don't you?!
**[02:15] Misuzu**
I didn't back then.
**[02:17] Misuzu**
You didn't tell me you liked Junichiro until
right before we graduated middle school.
**[02:23] Tomo**
S-Still! If we were best friends,
you could've told me you had a boyfriend!
**[02:29] Misuzu**
Both Junichiro and I wanted
to forget about it.
**[02:32] Misuzu**
Besides, we didn't even
have time to tell you.
**[02:35] Tomo**
Huh?
**[02:36] Misuzu**
Because we were only a couple for three days.
**[02:41] Tomo**
Three days?!
**[02:44] Misuzu**
Now that you know, I might
as well tell you everything.
**[02:47] Misuzu**
It was in the spring of our
second year of middle school.
**[02:50] Misuzu**
He just asked me out of nowhere...
**[02:54] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Gundo, would you...
maybe try going out with me?
**[03:06] (Flashback) Misuzu**
That sounds like fun.
**[03:09] Misuzu**
Even back then, a lot of girls
liked him for some reason,
**[03:12] Misuzu**
so I kinda wanted to show him off.
**[03:15] Tomo**
Th-That was all it took?
**[03:17] Misuzu**
Call it youthful indiscretion, I guess.
**[03:20] Misuzu**
I started to feel like I was
reaching my limit the next day.
**[03:23] Tomo**
The next day?!
**[03:25] Misuzu**
It was the day of our first date.
**[03:29] Misuzu**
He invited me to go cycling with him,
**[03:32] Misuzu**
so I agreed without giving
it much thought, and...
**[03:42] (Flashback) Misuzu**
So... how far are we going?
**[03:44] (Flashback) Junichiro**
We're almost there!
**[03:47] Misuzu**
We repeated that exchange for two hours
while traveling forty kilometers one way.
**[03:53] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Well?! Awesome view, right?!
**[03:59] (Flashback) Misuzu**
View?
**[04:01] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Are you a total moron?
**[04:02] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Huh?
**[04:05] Misuzu**
He dragged me all around again the next day.
**[04:08] Misuzu**
I lost five kilograms in two days.
**[04:11] Tomo**
Uh... What was so bad about that?
**[04:15] Misuzu**
You two are insane.
**[04:18] Misuzu**
I had hit my limit both
physically and mentally,
**[04:21] Misuzu**
so after the break, I approached
him to call it quits.
**[04:24] Misuzu**
But then he said...
**[04:27] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Sorry, Misuzu.
**[04:29] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Huh?
**[04:30] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I know this sounds weird when I'm
the one who asked you out, but...
**[04:33] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I feel like maybe we're not
a good match after all.
**[04:38] (Flashback) Junichiro**
So let's just give up on going out, okay?
**[04:43] Misuzu**
*He... beat me to it!*
**[04:47] Misuzu**
He put a permanent black mark on my life.
**[04:51] Misuzu**
I'll never forgive him for it.
**[04:53] Tomo**
A lot of things suddenly make sense now.
**[04:55] Tomo**
So... you don't have any feelings
for Jun anymore, right?
**[04:59] Misuzu**
Oh, I have feelings for him.
And all of them are hate.
**[05:01] Tomo**
I-I see...
**[05:03] Tomo**
A-Also, when you guys were
going out, did you... er, you know...
**[05:10] Tomo**
k-k-k-k...
**[05:12] Tomo**
kiss or anything?
**[05:14] Misuzu**
The fact that we didn't share any mucosal
contact is our one silver lining.
**[05:18] Tomo**
Don't describe it as mucosal!
**[05:20] Misuzu**
Well, if I had to say how far...
**[05:23] Misuzu**
We called each other by our given names
**[05:25] Misuzu**
and held hands while walking
to and from school.
**[05:28] Misuzu**
But nothing major, really.
**[05:30] Misuzu**
Feel better?
**[05:32] Tomo**
Yeah, I guess...
**[05:34] Tomo**
But I don't feel like I've been
discussing a relationship at all.
**[05:39] Misuzu**
You told Tomo about us, didn't you?
**[05:41] Misuzu**
I did plan to tell her eventually.
**[05:43] Junichiro**
Yeah, yeah. Sorry.
**[05:46] Misuzu**
It's fine.
**[05:47] Misuzu**
Anyway, I didn't notice since I was
trying my hardest to forget it,
**[05:52] Misuzu**
but you avoided Tomo for pretty much the
entire first year of middle school, didn't you?
**[06:00] Misuzu**
I'll spare you all my questions about why.
**[06:03] Misuzu**
But the time when you two went
back to being best friends
**[06:06] Misuzu**
happened to be right when
you and I broke up.
**[06:10] Misuzu**
Was that a coincidence?
**[06:12] Junichiro**
I was entirely to blame for
everything that happened.
**[06:15] Junichiro**
If you're mad about it,
it's not too late to hit me.
**[06:20] Misuzu**
So there really was something going on.
**[06:22] Junichiro**
Hit me all you want!
**[06:25] Tomo**
There's really nothing between
you and Misuzu anymore, right?
**[06:29] Tomo**
*Really* nothing?
**[06:30] Junichiro**
I told you there's nothing.
How many times are you gonna ask?
**[06:33] Tomo**
Well, I was the only one
who didn't know about it!
**[06:37] Junichiro**
I'm sorry, okay?
**[06:39] Tomo**
Okay, then...
**[06:40] Tomo**
Is there anyone you like now?
**[06:44] Junichiro**
Huh? Of course not.
**[06:46] Tomo**
Really?
**[06:48] Junichiro**
Yes, really. What's with you?
**[06:50] Tomo**
Oh, okay! As long as there isn't anyone!
**[06:55] Junichiro**
There isn't!
**[06:56] Tomo**
Huh?
**[06:56] Tomo**
O-Okay...
**[06:59] Tomo**
I get it.
**[07:07] Misaki**
Morning, Aizawa-san!
**[07:10] Tomo**
Oh, hey, Misaki-senpai.
**[07:12] Junichiro**
*Misaki?*
**[07:18] Junichiro**
*Wait, he's a guy.*
**[07:20] Tomo**
Oh, yeah! Senpai, this here is Jun!
**[07:23] Misaki**
Oh!
**[07:24] Misaki**
Hi! I'm Misaki Kosuke, second-year.
**[07:28] Misaki**
Nice to—
**[07:29] Tomo**
What'd you do that for?!
**[07:32] Junichiro**
Sorry. Reflex.
**[07:32] Tomo**
That wasn't a reflex!
**[07:36] Junichiro**
I'm Kubota Junichiro. Sorry for what I did.
**[07:40] Misaki**
I-It's okay. No hard feelings here.
**[07:43] Junichiro**
I hear you do karate?
**[07:45] Misaki**
Huh? Yeah.
**[07:47] Junichiro**
Let's have a match sometime, then.
**[07:50] Junichiro**
I'll crush you with every
ounce of strength I have.
**[07:53] Misaki**
Cru...
**[07:54] Tomo**
I'm so sorry, Senpai!
I'll give him a good talking-to!
**[07:54] Junichiro**
That hurts, Tomo...
**[07:56] Junichiro**
Can't breathe...
**[07:57] Misaki**
R-Really, it's okay. You can let him go.
**[07:59] Junichiro**
Tomo... Hey...
**[08:02] Junichiro**
Why are you so close to the
captain of the boys' club?
**[08:06] Junichiro**
Aren't you in the girls' club?
**[08:08] Tomo**
Oh, I didn't tell you?
**[08:10] Tomo**
Stuff happened, and I'm
in the boys' club now.
**[08:15] (Flashback) Goro**
What a disappointment.
**[08:17] (Flashback) Goro**
The heir to the Aizawa style,
learning karate in *school*...
**[08:20] (Flashback) Goro**
And what about you, Jun-bo?
**[08:22] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I'll be sticking with you, sir!
**[08:24] (Flashback) Goro**
Well said!
**[08:27] Tomo**
Wh-What's wrong?
**[08:33] Junichiro**
Tomo, let's head home.
**[08:35] Tomo**
Sorry, I promised to get tea with
Misuzu and Carol after school.
**[08:40] Tomo**
Oh, come on! Don't pout!
**[08:43] Junichiro**
I'm not pouting.
**[08:45] Tomo**
Yes, you are!
**[08:47] Tomo**
Tomorrow, okay? I'll walk
home with you tomorrow.
**[08:51] Junichiro**
Tomorrow, then. You'd better stick to that.
**[08:54] Tomo**
Sure!
**[08:55] Carol**
They're not dating, right?
**[08:57] Misaki**
That's right. Ridiculous, aren't they?

*I... I can't believe I ran into him here!*
**[09:08] (Flashback) Tomo**
Senpai's scared of me now
'cause you threatened him!
**[09:11] (Flashback) Tomo**
Next time you see him,
smooth it out! Got it?!
**[09:15] Junichiro**
So you live this way, huh?
**[09:17] Misaki**
Yeah. I usually ride my bike,
**[09:20] Misaki**
but it's in for repairs right now.
**[09:22] Junichiro**
And that's why you're taking
the bus today, huh?
**[09:25] Misaki**
Yeah.
**[09:28] Junichiro**
Why are you standing so far away?
**[09:29] Misaki**
I-It's just your imagination!
**[09:38] Misaki**
Y-You don't want to join
the karate club, Jun-kun?
**[09:43] Junichiro**
No.
**[09:44] Misaki**
I see... S-Sorry for asking.
**[09:47] Junichiro**
I don't think I could beat Tomo, anyway.
**[09:51] Junichiro**
That's another reason I don't
want to join the club.
**[09:55] Junichiro**
I don't want to lose.
**[09:56] Misaki**
But Aizawa-san was saying there
was no way she could beat you.
**[10:01] Junichiro**
That's just at her dad's dojo.
**[10:05] Junichiro**
When there are actual rules
to follow, I don't stand a chance.
**[10:09] Junichiro**
I can manage to beat her in a fight, though.
**[10:12] Misaki**
Fight? You mean you and
Aizawa-san just... punch each other?
**[10:15] Junichiro**
Yeah, sometimes.
**[10:17] Misaki**
You can't do that!
**[10:19] Misaki**
Aizawa-san is a girl, you know!
**[10:23] Junichiro**
It's not like I want to hurt Tomo.
**[10:26] Junichiro**
*She's* the problem.
**[10:28] Junichiro**
Whenever we fight,
she comes after me for real.
**[10:32] Misaki**
Well... I can see why you would feel
like your life was in danger, but...
**[10:36] Junichiro**
If I can beat her in a contest of strength,
it's only because I'm a guy.
**[10:41] Junichiro**
In a sport with fixed rules,
I'm still the challenger.
**[10:45] Misaki**
I see. She is pretty incredible, isn't she?
**[10:49] Junichiro**
Too incredible.
**[10:52] Junichiro**
I still wish I could be like her.
**[10:55] Junichiro**
As I am now...
**[10:57] Misaki**
* I see. He looks up to*
* Aizawa-san, just like me.*
**[11:02] Misaki**
* That makes me feel a sort*
* of kinship with him.*
**[11:04] Junichiro**
Oh, I get the feeling I just said a
lot of weird stuff without thinking.
**[11:09] Junichiro**
If you go blabbing to Tomo...
**[11:11] Misaki**
I-I won't! I swear I won't!
**[11:15] Misaki**
*Never mind! He's still scary!*
**[11:19] Tomo**
I heard you took the same
bus home as Jun yesterday.
**[11:23] Tomo**
He didn't threaten you again, did he?
**[11:25] Misaki**
No, it was fine.
**[11:27] Misaki**
We talked a bit, and he
was actually pretty nice.
**[11:30] Tomo**
Yes! He really is!
**[11:32] Tomo**
I'm so glad you get it!
**[11:34] Tomo**
He started acting weirdly intimidating
around our second year of middle school,
**[11:38] Tomo**
and he couldn't make any friends.
**[11:40] Tomo**
I tried introducing him to
some guys I knew, but...
***SIGN*** Rrrr...
**[11:45] Tomo**
They were all too scared
of him to be his friend.
**[11:49] Tomo**
I knew you'd understand him, though!
**[11:53] Tomo**
You're not like all those wusses!
**[11:54] Misaki**
* I can't tell her that I'm*
* actually terrified of him.*
**[11:59] Tomo**
Jun is a super nice guy,
**[12:01] Tomo**
but he doesn't see me as a girl at all.
**[12:05] Tomo**
Would it kill him to be
a *little* considerate?
**[12:08] Misaki**
Huh?
**[12:10] Misaki**
Actually, I think he probably knows.
**[12:13] Misaki**
I mean, he—
**[12:14] Junichiro**
Senpai!
**[12:16] Junichiro**
Looks like you two are
having fun. Can I join in?
**[12:20] Misaki**
S-Sorry...
**[12:21] Misaki**
I'm sorry!
**[12:22] Tomo**
*They're such good friends now!*
***SIGN*** Let's Go

**[12:29] Tomo**
"Let's Go on a Date!"
**[12:34] Mifune**
So, be honest... What do
you think of Aizawa Tomo?
**[12:38] Ogawa**
L-Like, whatever.
**[12:40] Ogawa**
I mean, she's a girl.
She even, like, wears a skirt.
**[12:44] Mifune**
I know, right? That skirt is just wrong!
**[12:47] Mifune**
No matter how boyish she looks...
**[12:50] Tomo**
Hey!
**[12:51] Tomo**
It's Mifune and Ogawa!
**[12:54] Tomo**
What a coincidence!
You guys come here a lot, too?
**[12:59] Mifune/Ogawa**
*Sh...*
**[13:00] Mifune**
*She's wearing pants!*
**[13:00] Ogawa**
*She's wearing, like, pants!*
**[13:01] Mifune**
That's just wrong!
**[13:03] Ogawa**
So, like, not fair...
**[13:06] Tomo**
What's wrong?
**[13:08] Tomo**
Those two should've joined us.
**[13:11] Tomo**
Why'd they just leave?
**[13:14] Misuzu**
Because you're dressed like that.
**[13:18] Misuzu**
More importantly, have you hung
out with Junichiro recently?
**[13:23] Misuzu**
You haven't, have you?
**[13:26] Tomo**
We've barely hung out since we
started high school, actually.
**[13:30] Tomo**
He invites me out now and then,
but I get weirdly self-conscious.
**[13:35] Misuzu**
You pick the most inconvenient
times to be all girly.
**[13:39] Misuzu**
If you put him off too much,
**[13:40] Misuzu**
he might find someone else
to spend his time with.
**[13:44] Tomo**
I don't want that!
**[13:45] Misuzu**
Then you should be the one
to invite him out next time.
**[13:49] Misuzu**
But not to the bowling alley or
batting center like you always do.
**[13:52] Tomo**
Wh-What's wrong with those?
**[13:55] Misuzu**
Everything.
**[13:56] Misuzu**
Why don't you act like students and go
shopping for clothes or do karaoke for once?
**[14:02] Tomo**
Me and... Jun?
**[14:07] Tomo**
That feels so unnatural.
**[14:11] Misuzu**
* Try inviting him yourself*
* over our next break.*
**[14:15] (Flashback) Misuzu**
You've kept him waiting
in place for so long,
**[14:17] (Flashback) Misuzu**
I bet he'll come running
to you wagging his tail.
**[14:20] Tomo**
*C'mon, he's not a dog.*
**[14:24] Tomo**
Hey, Jun...
**[14:26] Tomo**
Over our next break...
if you're free, I mean...
**[14:31] Tomo**
Do you want to, um...
go hang out with me somewhere?
**[14:34] Junichiro**
For real?!
**[14:36] Tomo**
Huh?
**[14:37] Junichiro**
Oh, man, it's been forever!
**[14:39] Junichiro**
Where? Where are we gonna go?!
**[14:41] Junichiro**
Well, Tomo? Where are we gonna go?
**[14:41] Tomo**
*H-He really is just a big dog!*
**[14:46] Misuzu**
You get it, right?
**[14:48] Misuzu**
You can't think of it as just hanging out.
**[14:50] Misuzu**
You're going on a date.
**[14:52] Tomo**
R-Right!
**[14:53] Carol**
So...
**[14:56] Carol**
Can I go, too?
**[14:58] Carol**
Just kidding!
**[15:01] Misuzu**
We'll go buy you some clothes after school.
**[15:03] Misuzu**
You only own boys' clothes, right?
**[15:06] Tomo**
Huh? What I have should be fine.
**[15:09] Misuzu**
Absolutely not.
**[15:10] Carol**
Hey, Tomo-chan.
**[15:12] Carol**
Saying you'll go on a date in
boys' clothes is a joke, right?
**[15:18] Tomo**
Fine. I'll go buy something.
**[15:29] Carol**
What kind of outfit should we get?
**[15:30] Misuzu**
Let's see... Maybe we should
start with something boyish?
**[15:34] Carol**
Really? Not something girlish?
**[15:37] Misuzu**
If we do that,
**[15:39] Misuzu**
she'll be too uncomfortable
to think about the date.
**[15:41] Misuzu**
Besides, he'd probably take off
running the moment he saw her.
**[15:45] Misuzu**
So taking her from "a boy at first glance"
**[15:49] Misuzu**
to "a girl with some boyish
features" is the way to go.
**[15:53] Carol**
That sounds like a pain.
**[15:55] Misuzu**
You got that right.
**[15:57] Misuzu**
What kinds of shoes do you have, again?
**[16:00] Tomo**
Well, uh...
**[16:01] Tomo**
All I have are sneakers.
**[16:03] Tomo**
A red pair and a white pair...
**[16:05] Carol**
I think white would be better.
**[16:07] Misuzu**
I agree.
**[16:08] Carol**
How about a simple, boyish outfit
that's sporty but a little girlish?
**[16:13] Misuzu**
Let's go with that.
**[16:16] Misuzu**
What do you think?
**[16:17] Tomo**
Huh?! Oh, uh, let's do that, then.
**[16:22] Carol**
Oh! How about denim gaucho pants?
**[16:25] Misuzu**
A white pullover would
probably go best with that.
**[16:29] Tomo**
*I-Is fashion this hard to keep up with?*
**[16:33] Tomo**
Thanks for helping me out, both of you.
**[16:35] Tomo**
I'll do something to thank you.
**[16:37] Misuzu**
You don't need to worry about that.
**[16:39] Misuzu**
I only did what I could as your best friend.
**[16:42] Carol**
We're friends, aren't we?
**[16:45] Tomo**
You guys...
**[16:47] Misuzu**
Just tell us every last detail of
everything that happens on your date,
**[16:51] Misuzu**
and we'll call it even.
**[16:53] Carol**
Looking forward to it!
**[16:54] Tomo**
R-Right...
**[16:57] Tomo**
* I think they just formed a*
* powerful new tag team.*
**[17:04] Tomo**
Sorry, Jun. Were you waiting long?
**[17:12] Tomo**
What's wrong?
**[17:14] Junichiro**
Okay, well, shall we go?
**[17:16] Tomo**
Y-Yeah.

**[17:23] Tomo**
*Shoot...*
**[17:25] Tomo**
*This is just turning out like the usual.*
**[17:28] Tomo**
Wait, isn't this the spot where the
pitches can hit 160 kilometers per hour?
**[17:32] Junichiro**
Yeah. That's about the speed
I've been hitting lately.
**[17:36] Tomo**
* We were both hitting at 120 kilometers*
* per hour not long ago...*
**[17:40] Tomo**
*There's no way I can hit 160.*
**[17:42] Junichiro**
Try hitting one, Tomo.

Nice batting!

Yeah. This is what I've been using lately.
**[18:03] Tomo**
*He was using a lighter ball before.*
**[18:07] Tomo**
*I can't even lift one that heavy.*
**[18:08] Junichiro**
Wanna try this one out?
**[18:15] Junichiro**
Strike!
**[18:17] Tomo**
*No! I gotta change something up!*
**[18:20] Tomo**
H-Hey, you wanna do karaoke
or something next?
**[18:25] Junichiro**
Sure, why not?
**[18:26] Tomo**
I guess not, huh? But, y'know, every once in a—
**[18:29] Tomo**
Wait, what?!
**[18:33] Junichiro**
Huh, so this is how it works?
**[18:36] Tomo**
* I thought a place like this*
* would be... louder and busier.*
**[18:39] Tomo**
*This room is so small and dark.*
**[18:42] Devil Misuzu**
Go on. Sit next to him.
**[18:44] Angel Carol**
Get all up against him!
**[18:45] Junichiro**
What's wrong?
**[18:47] Junichiro**
Aren't you gonna sing?
**[18:49] Tomo**
Sing?! No way in hell I'm gonna sing!
**[18:53] Junichiro**
Why did we come here, then?
**[18:55] Tomo**
W-Well, why did *you* agree
to come here so quickly?
**[19:00] Tomo**
You never cared about karaoke before.
**[19:03] Junichiro**
'Cause you said you wanted to go.
**[19:05] Tomo**
Huh?
**[19:06] Junichiro**
Ever since we were kids, you only
ever wanted to do reckless stuff.
**[19:11] Junichiro**
Frankly, I just let you coerce
me into going along at first,
**[19:14] Junichiro**
but I was scared out of my mind.
**[19:16] Tomo**
You were?!
**[19:18] Junichiro**
But when I just tried doing what
you asked, it was always fun.
**[19:23] Junichiro**
That's why you're the best!
**[19:26] Tomo**
* That's right... Jun just came*
* along today to have fun.*
**[19:31] Tomo**
*Yet I've been...*
**[19:33] Tomo**
*I can't keep going like this!*
**[19:36] Tomo**
*I gotta do something,*
**[19:37] Junichiro**
Oh, gonna sing something?
**[19:37] Tomo**
*or this whole day will be ruined!*
***SIGN*** The Rolling Acorn

Right into the pond! Oh, no!
**[19:53] Tomo**
Along came a loach, saying, "Hello there!"

"Come play with me, little one!"
**[20:02] Lady**
Huh?
**[20:05] Tomo**
You're up next!
**[20:08] Tomo**
Don't laugh!
**[20:11] Junichiro**
Sorry... That just wasn't
what I expected at all.
**[20:14] Junichiro**
But seriously, a children's song?
**[20:16] Junichiro**
You really are the best!
**[20:18] Tomo**
Sh-Shut up, you jerk!
**[20:23] Misuzu**
So when Junichiro wasn't willing to sing,
**[20:27] Misuzu**
you just sang children's songs
for three hours and went home?
**[20:30] Tomo**
I was so embarrassed, I thought I'd die!
**[20:33] Tomo**
He even shot a video of me!
**[20:36] Carol**
It sounds like it went great, though.
**[20:38] Misuzu**
I'm not so sure. Sounds like the
wrong way to have fun to me.
**[20:45] Junichiro**
*I guess I should delete the video.*
**[20:47] Misuzu**
Junichiro.
**[20:48] Junichiro**
Huh?
**[20:49] Carol**
Show us the video.
**[20:54] Tomo**
You guys!
**[21:00] Tomo**
*"Come play with me, little one!"*
**[21:04] Junichiro**
*That whole day, there was...*

*Hey, you know, I'm all mixed up*

*I want to look cute to you*
**[21:26] ED**
*(crazy, crazy, drive me crazy, and that's…)*
**[21:28] ED**
* So I'm plotting, bargaining,*

**[21:32] ED**
*Dizzying love*
**[21:37] ED**
*Just tell him to look at you*
**[21:41] ED**
* And watch him stiffen up even more,*
* because you're both so awkward*
**[21:46] ED**
*What? Even if we're alike in that way*
**[21:50] ED**
* It doesn't make me happy, 'cause it*
* means our love is going nowhere*
**[21:55] ED**
* Cloudy heart, swirling emotions—*
* I sense rain coming*
**[22:04] ED**
* So I partly open my umbrella,*
* then sneakily scoot closer to you*
**[22:13] ED**
* Please notice the curl of my*
* eyelashes as I keep blinking*
**[22:17] ED**
*And don't say I'm acting weird*
**[22:21] ED**
* All this plotting and bargaining*
* is my sly plan to look cute to you*
**[22:25] ED**
* Try to solve the riddle of*
* this soft, dizzying love*
**[22:28] ED**
*(Buzzing, fidgeting)*
**[22:33] ED**
* Listen, I might be a bit*
* tangled in my own web now*
**[22:37] ED**
* But once you unravel the mystery,*
* you'll see pure lo-love*
**[22:43] Misuzu**
My feelings drift through the starry sky,
**[22:53] Misuzu**
so far away...
**[22:56] Tomo**
She's a natural...
**[22:56] Misuzu**
They won't reach you, but...
**[22:58] Carol**
You're so good, Misuzu-chan!
**[23:01] Carol**
Bounce with me, bounce with me
**[23:03] Carol**
All the sanity is sin, sin, sin here
**[23:06] Tomo**
She's so good at singing in English!
**[23:06] Carol**
Bounce with me, bounce with me
**[23:08] Misuzu**
I almost forgot she wasn't Japanese.

Move it down, up, down, up,

Boom, boom! Boom, boom! Boom, boom!

Well, you're up, Queen of Children's Songs.
**[23:20] Tomo**
P-Please spare me!
**[23:23] Tomo**
The cat scratched me, the cat scratched me,
**[23:26] Tomo**
the cat was startled and scratched me!
**[23:28] Tomo**
I stepped on the cat, I stepped on the cat,
**[23:31] Tomo**
I stepped on the cat, and it scratched me!

the cat was startled and scratched me!

**[01:38] Tanabe**
Morning, Misuzu-chan!
Nice morning, isn't it?
**[01:41] Misuzu**
Good morning.
**[01:42] Tanabe**
*Yes! She didn't ignore me today!*
**[01:45] Misuzu**
And you...
**[01:47] Misuzu**
are who, again?
**[01:49] Tanabe**
I'm your classmate, Tanabe!
**[01:55] Tanabe**
I really wanna see her smile.
**[01:57] Tanabe**
Misuzu-chan never smiles at all, you know?
**[02:01] Tanabe**
Nothing wrong with being expressionless,
but what would make her smile?
**[02:05] Junichiro**
What are you talking about?
She smiles all the time.
**[02:08] Tanabe**
Huh?! No way!
**[02:10] Junichiro**
In fact, she's almost always
smiling when she talks to me.
**[02:13] Junichiro**
She's so damn mean-spirited.
**[02:15] Tanabe**
For real?!
**[02:16] Tanabe**
Man, I'm so jealous!
**[02:18] Tanabe**
Childhood friends have a
totally different experience!

**[02:22] Junichiro**
Hey, Gundo smiles a lot, right?
**[02:25] Tomo**
Does she? I haven't seen
her smile that much.
**[02:30] Junichiro**
What's going on?
**[02:32] Tomo**
Why are you asking *me*?
**[02:35] Tomo**
*Could it be because Misuzu likes Jun?*
**[02:41] Misuzu**
Tanabe-kun, mechanical pencils...
**[02:44] Misuzu**
are pretty sharp, you know.
**[02:47] Misuzu**
A wise decision.
**[02:49] Tanabe**
Oh, yeah! So, Misuzu-chan,
**[02:51] Tanabe**
I heard this funny story...
**[03:07] Tomo**
What the heck happened to you?
**[03:14] Carol**
Misuzu-chan did it.
**[03:16] Tomo**
You said something weird
to her again, didn't you?
**[03:19] Tomo**
You never learn.
**[03:20] Carol**
I didn't say anything.
**[03:22] Tomo**
Huh? Then why...
**[03:24] Carol**
I tried to kiss her on the cheek.
**[03:27] (Flashback) Carol**
Mwah!
**[03:31] Tomo**
You're lucky all she did
was put tape on you.
**[03:34] Tanabe**
Misuzu-chan, what's it gonna
take to make you smile?
**[03:37] Misuzu**
Oh, you were trying to make me smile?
**[03:41] Misuzu**
Tanabe-kun, do you like me?
**[03:46] Tanabe**
Yeah! A lot!
**[03:47] Misuzu**
Then stop fooling around
and approach me seriously.
**[03:51] Misuzu**
If you do that...
**[03:54] Misuzu**
I'll shoot you down with a smile.
**[04:00] Tanabe**
*Man, she's so great!*
**[04:03] Tomo**
So Jun said you smile
around him all the time.
**[04:08] Tomo**
Does that mean... you actually...
**[04:10] Misuzu**
It does not.
**[04:13] Misuzu**
Then again...
**[04:15] Misuzu**
Depending on one's point of view,
it could be said that I like him.
**[04:18] Tomo**
Wha?!
**[04:20] Misuzu**
Junichiro always has serious
thoughts on his mind.
**[04:25] Misuzu**
Even when he's laughing and
goofing off around you,
**[04:28] Misuzu**
I bet he's constantly thinking about
something completely different.
**[04:36] Misuzu**
He's such a delightful guy.
**[04:38] Tomo**
*Oh... There's a smile.*

**[04:47] Girl Student1**
Morning!
**[04:48] Girl Student2**
C'mon, cut that out!
**[04:50] Girl Student1**
Sorry!
**[04:50] Tomo**
I wanna try glomping a girl like that, too.
**[04:54] Misuzu**
Tomo, have you finally...
**[04:56] Tomo**
Huh?! "Finally" what?!
**[04:59] Tomo**
I just mean hugging and holding
hands and stuff with friends.
**[05:03] Tomo**
Y'know, girly stuff. I wanna try
interacting with a friend like that.
**[05:07] Misuzu**
Oh?
**[05:08] Misuzu**
You always act strangely familiar with girls,
**[05:12] Misuzu**
so I thought you'd be a natural at that.
**[05:14] Tomo**
I *have* tried it before.
**[05:16] Tomo**
Like, when I got to be good
friends with someone,
**[05:19] Tomo**
I'd put my arm around her shoulder.
**[05:22] Tomo**
But every girl I do that with suddenly
starts acting all distant again.
**[05:27] Tomo**
Why is that?
**[05:29] Misuzu**
I feel sorry for all of them, too.
**[05:31] Tomo**
Come to think of it, we've been friends
for over ten years, haven't we?
**[05:35] Misuzu**
Yes, because our mothers
were childhood friends.
**[05:39] Misuzu**
We've been close since we were born.
**[05:42] Misuzu**
I don't remember that, though.
**[05:44] Tomo**
I think we've been friends long enough
to try doing stuff like that.
**[05:49] Misuzu**
Long enough?
**[05:51] Tomo**
Just once! Let's try it just once!
**[05:54] Tomo**
I won't hurt you!
**[05:56] Misuzu**
I *was* fine with it, but when you
put it that way, I don't want to.
**[06:00] Tomo**
Huh?!
**[06:02] Carol**
Tomo-chan!
**[06:04] Tomo**
What?
**[06:05] Carol**
You want to hug, right?
**[06:07] Tomo**
Huh?
**[06:08] Tomo**
Misuzu told her...
**[06:10] Tomo**
You're sure?
**[06:12] Carol**
Sure!
**[06:13] Tomo**
O-Okay, then...
**[06:21] Tomo**
Wh-What is this?!
**[06:23] Tomo**
She's so thin...
**[06:25] Tomo**
and soft...
**[06:28] Tomo**
And she smells nice.
**[06:30] Tomo**
So this is... a girl.
**[06:37] Tomo**
Maybe I'm really not a girl after all.
**[06:41] Misuzu**
Relax.
**[06:43] Misuzu**
That one's made special.
**[06:47] Tomo**
* If Carol is special, then what*
* are other girls like?*
**[06:55] Tomo**
Hmm... You're pretty girly, too, Mifune.
**[06:58] Mifune**
Wh-Where the hell did that come from?!
**[07:01] Tomo**
What about you, Ogawa?
**[07:02] Ogawa**
L-Like, what *about* me?!
**[07:08] Carol**
Tomo-chan!
**[07:12] Carol**
Tomo-chan, let's play together.
**[07:17] Carol**
Morning, Tomo-chan!
**[07:19] Tomo**
H-Hey, morning.
**[07:22] Tomo**
Hey, Misuzu! Morning!
**[07:27] Misuzu**
Good morning.
**[07:30] Junichiro**
She seems pretty grumpy today.
**[07:36] Tomo**
I guess she's still mad.
**[07:39] Carol**
She seems the same as always to me.
**[07:41] Tomo**
Nah. If you wanna be Misuzu's friend,
you should learn this.
**[07:46] Tomo**
First of all, when she's angry,
her facial expression changes a tiny bit.
**[07:50] Carol**
Uh-huh.
**[07:51] Carol**
And the way she acts is
slightly different, too.
***SIGN*** Angry
***SIGN*** Not Angry
**[07:53] Carol**
Huh...
**[07:55] Tomo**
She just gives off a different aura.
**[07:57] Carol**
Oh!
**[07:58] Tomo**
That's how she is.
**[08:00] Carol**
I don't get it.
**[08:02] Carol**
What is Misuzu-chan angry about?
**[08:06] Tomo**
She started acting like that after I said
I wanted more girly interaction yesterday...
**[08:12] Tomo**
But she's not the type to get
mad over something like that.
**[08:16] Carol**
Oh.
**[08:17] Tomo**
Huh?
**[08:19] Carol**
*It might be my fault.*
**[08:22] Carol**
I'm sorry!
**[08:25] Carol**
I always mess up when I'm happy.
**[08:29] Carol**
You think I was bothering Tomo-chan, too?
**[08:32] Misuzu**
So you *are* aware of it, at least.
**[08:34] Misuzu**
But you don't need to
apologize for anything.
**[08:37] Misuzu**
The one to blame is...
**[08:40] Misuzu**
a certain someone who keeps pestering her
**[08:43] Misuzu**
to get her attention.
**[08:45] Carol**
Whoever it is, they sound like a child.
**[08:48] Misuzu**
True.
**[08:51] Misuzu**
I'm sorry I made you feel bad.
**[08:55] Misuzu**
There was something going on
that I personally didn't like,
**[08:58] Misuzu**
and I took it out on you.
**[09:00] Tomo**
Okay...
**[09:01] Tomo**
You're being unusually open right now.
**[09:04] Misuzu**
Well, I'm not a child.
**[09:07] Tomo**
Did something happen?
**[09:10] Misuzu**
The physical contact you were
talking about yesterday...
**[09:14] Misuzu**
I wouldn't mind doing a little bit of that.
**[09:18] Tomo**
Really?!
**[09:19] Tomo**
Jeez, come on! If you were interested,
you should've said so from the start!
**[09:25] Tomo**
We're best friends, aren't we?
**[09:27] Misuzu**
This annoys me more than I expected.
**[09:30] Tomo**
Want me to just strangle you now?
**[09:34] Misuzu**
Come to think of it...
**[09:36] Misuzu**
Why don't you ever try to hug Junichiro?
**[09:39] Tomo**
Huh?!
**[09:40] Tomo**
I mean, if that was something
I could do, I'd like to, but...
**[09:43] Tomo**
It's not that simple.
**[09:45] Misuzu**
What are you talking about?
**[09:48] Misuzu**
He doesn't even hesitate to get touchy
and clingy with you for no reason.
**[09:52] Misuzu**
Why would it cause problems
if you were to hug him?
**[09:55] Tomo**
Oh!
**[09:57] Misuzu**
Don't tell me...
**[09:58] Misuzu**
You never realized that before now?
**[10:01] Misuzu**
You're kidding me.
**[10:07] Tomo**
*There's Jun!*
**[10:11] Tomo**
*All right!*
**[10:14] Tomo**
*Here I go!*

H-Hey! Jun!
**[10:31] Junichiro**
You're in high school now, y'know.
You can't do stuff like that.
**[10:35] Tomo**
Huh?!
**[10:37] Tomo**
What?!
**[10:39] Tomo**
But you do that to me all the time!
**[10:42] Junichiro**
I do *that*?
**[10:44] Tomo**
You sure as hell do!
**[10:45] Junichiro**
Okay, maybe I do, then.
**[10:49] Junichiro**
It's fine when I do it, but you? Not okay.
**[10:52] Junichiro**
Got it?
**[10:54] Tomo**
No, I don't!
**[10:56] Tomo**
Damn it! Damn it! Damn you!
**[11:00] Carol**
I like Tomo-chan a lot, too,
but Jun-kun is really unfair.
**[11:05] Misuzu**
What are you saying?
**[11:07] Carol**
I'm saying...
**[11:09] Carol**
I want to be your number one.
**[11:13] Misuzu**
Huh?
**[11:14] Carol**
Oh, I mean your number one friend.
**[11:17] Misuzu**
I know that.

**[12:07] Akemi**
You even woke *me* up.
**[12:12] Tomo**
Sorry, Mom.
**[12:14] Junichiro**
Morning, Mrs. Aizawa!
**[12:15] Akemi**
I think you mean "Akemi-san"!
**[12:19] Junichiro**
Sorry... I thought by now I should...
**[12:22] Akemi**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[12:27] Junichiro**
Did you make this?
**[12:30] Tomo**
Yeah! Looks tasty, huh?
**[12:32] Junichiro**
Well, it looks... original, for sure.
**[12:35] Tomo**
You think so?!
**[12:40] Junichiro**
These fish are kinda tough.
**[12:42] Tomo**
They're dried sardines!
**[12:43] Tomo**
They make your bones stronger,
so I put in a bunch of them!
**[12:46] Junichiro**
Might be good for
strengthening your jaw, too.
**[12:48] Tomo**
Right?!
**[12:51] Junichiro**
By the way, Tomo's dad
isn't gonna eat with us?
**[12:54] Akemi**
Oh, yeah, you know him.
**[12:57] Akemi**
He does everything in the dojo,
including eating and sleeping.
**[13:01] Akemi**
He almost never comes into the house.
**[13:04] Akemi**
We've basically been living
separately for ages now.
**[13:07] Akemi**
He stayed with me when
we first got together...
**[13:11] Akemi**
How is he still too shy to
even look me in the face?!
**[13:15] Akemi**
What, is he just a little
girl in that big bear body?!
**[13:20] Tomo**
Here we go again.

It's my fault. I held them up.

**[13:43] Akemi**

**[13:47] Tomo**
Dad's always been like that in front of Mom.
**[13:51] Tomo**
Talk about lame.
**[13:53] Tomo**
Seriously...
**[13:55] Junichiro**
You really think so?
**[13:56] Tomo**
Huh?
**[13:57] Junichiro**
You think a guy acting
lovesick for a girl is lame?
**[14:02] Tomo**
Well, yeah... I mean, isn't it?
**[14:04] Junichiro**
You're right. I think so, too.
**[14:08] Tomo**
But when push comes to shove,
he always protects her.
**[14:13] Tomo**
Ever since they were in school,
whenever Mom was in trouble,
**[14:18] Tomo**
he'd be the first one running to her side.
**[14:24] Junichiro**
I see.
**[14:27] Carol**
Sorry, Tomo-chan.
**[14:29] Carol**
I want to ask Misuzu-chan
for some love advice,
**[14:32] Carol**
so I'm going to eat lunch
with just her today.
**[14:35] Misuzu**
That's what's going on,
so you can eat with Junichiro.
**[14:40] Tomo**
Huh?! But why?!
**[14:42] Tomo**
I could eat with—
**[14:45] Tomo**
Huh?
**[14:47] Carol**
'Kay?
**[14:48] Misuzu**
That's what we mean.
**[14:50] Tomo**
*What's* what you mean?
**[14:52] Girl Student3**
They're eating alone today!
**[14:54] Girl Student4**
I thought they might be, but...
**[14:56] Girl Student4**
So they really are?
**[14:58] Junichiro**
It's so much easier to relax
when it's just us two!
**[15:01] Junichiro**
What's that thing on your head?
**[15:03] Tomo**
*Who could relax right now?!*
**[15:07] Misuzu**
So, what did you want advice about?
**[15:09] Carol**
Wait just a sec. He'll be here soon.
**[15:15] Misaki**
Sorry I'm late, Carol.
**[15:18] Misuzu**
You asked him to come?
**[15:20] Carol**
I did.
**[15:21] Misaki**
Huh?
**[15:22] Misaki**
Uh... who are you?
**[15:24] Misuzu**
Gundo Misuzu. Nice to meet you.
**[15:27] Misaki**
N-Nice to meet you, too.
**[15:30] Misuzu**
Carol-san and I are...
**[15:33] Misuzu**
Well, long story short, I'm her friend.
**[15:41] Misaki**
Thank you! Take good care of Carol!
**[15:44] Misuzu**
You're a pretty big deal to him, huh?
**[15:46] Carol**
I guess so.
**[15:48] Carol**
Time to eat.
**[15:50] Misuzu**
Really? Right now?
**[15:52] Misaki**
Sorry. She just lives life at her own pace.
**[15:55] Misaki**
She's a little odd,
but she's a really nice girl,
**[15:58] Misaki**
so treat her well, okay?
**[15:59] Misuzu**
Uh-huh...
**[16:03] Misaki**
Carol is very important to me.
**[16:07] Misaki**
We've been around each other
since we were little.
**[16:10] Misaki**
I guess you could say she's like...
**[16:12] Misaki**
a precious little sister to me.
**[16:15] Carol**
That's the kind of stuff he says.
**[16:17] Misuzu**
I see. This could be challenging.
**[16:20] Misaki**
Oh, you've gotta be more careful.
**[16:23] Misaki**
Look at all these crumbs.
**[16:26] Misaki**
I have to go now.
**[16:28] Misaki**
Don't cause any trouble for Gundo-san, okay?
**[16:30] Carol**
'Kay. Got it.
**[16:32] Misaki**
See you later, Gundo-san.
**[16:34] Misaki**
Take care of Carol for me.
**[16:36] Misuzu**
Sure...
**[16:38] Carol**
That's how he is.
**[16:40] Misuzu**
It's not quite the same as it is with Tomo,
**[16:42] Misuzu**
but he basically doesn't
see you as a girl, either.
**[16:45] Carol**
I know, right?
**[16:47] Carol**
Here, to thank you.
**[16:49] Carol**
Open wide.
**[16:50] Misuzu**
Huh? Yeah, that's not happening.
**[16:52] Carol**
Boo.
**[16:55] Carol**
You're no fun.
**[16:57] Carol**
Anyway, what do you think I should do?
**[17:00] Misuzu**
Well, for starters...
**[17:03] Misuzu**
Take life more seriously.
**[17:06] Carol**
Okay!
**[17:07] Tomo**
Where the hell were you guys?!
**[17:09] Tomo**
Do you know how much
I just embarrassed myse—
**[17:26] Carol**
It's back home.
**[17:27] Misuzu**
Have you had enough?
**[17:29] Tomo**
Yes.
**[17:30] Mifune**
A-Aizawa!
**[17:34] Mifune**
You got a minute?
**[17:37] Tomo**
Some guy's hitting on Ogawa?
**[17:40] Mifune**
Yeah, apparently.
**[17:42] Tomo**
Well, you *are* cute. Isn't that a good thing?
**[17:45] Ogawa**
I-It's, like, *so* not!
**[17:48] Mifune**
It's a guy she met at a mixer.
**[17:50] Tomo**
A mixer?! You guys go to mixers?!
**[17:54] Tomo**
W-Wow...
**[17:56] Ogawa**
That's, like, not the point right now!
**[17:58] Ogawa**
I only went so it'd be,
like, an even number!
**[18:00] Mifune**
I think we picked the wrong
person to ask for advice.
**[18:04] Tomo**
So, is there a problem?
**[18:07] Mifune**
Well, it turns out he's a
third-year at our school,
**[18:10] Mifune**
and he's sort of the leader
of this scary group of guys.
**[18:14] Mifune**
He's especially well-known
for being a philanderer.
**[18:18] Mifune**
He hits on all kinds of girls,
**[18:20] Mifune**
even though he has no intentions
of dating any of them.
**[18:23] Mifune**
Apparently, any girl who turns him
down gets bullied to hell and back.
**[18:28] Tomo**
He's a real scumbag, huh?
**[18:31] Tomo**
Leave this to me.
**[18:32] Ogawa**
Leave, like, what to you?!
**[18:34] Ogawa**
I just want you to, like, stand
behind me when I turn him down!
**[18:37] Mifune**
This really was a mistake.
**[18:41] Leader**
What?
**[18:43] Tomo**
Ogawa says she's not interested.
**[18:46] Tomo**
Would you leave her alone now, please?
**[18:48] Leader**
Huh? Who the hell are you?
**[18:51] Leader**
Wait, you a girl?
**[18:52] Tomo**
So what if I am?
**[18:54] Leader**
Damn, you're a giant!
**[18:56] Leader**
Yeah, no way. I ain't
into you, so stay outta this.
**[19:00] Tomo**
How many should I break?
**[19:03] Ogawa**
How many of, like, what?
**[19:05] Mifune**
P-Please, just resolve this peacefully!
**[19:07] Leader**
Ogawa-chan, this friend you brought
to me seems pretty tough.
**[19:12] Leader**
Don't you think this is all a bit much?
**[19:15] Leader**
I think you might have the wrong idea here.
**[19:18] Leader**
I just thought I'd play with you
a little 'cause you seemed easy.
**[19:23] Ogawa**
I-I'm, like, sorry...
**[19:25] Leader**
Well, anyway, just don't forget
that you humiliated me.
**[19:30] Tomo**
Hey, look over here, you scumbag.
**[19:33] Leader**
Oh, you're still here? What?
**[19:37] Tomo**
I just didn't think it'd be
right to hit you from behind.
**[19:40] Tomo**
I'll go easy on you.
**[19:42] Leader**
Huh? What are y—
**[19:50] Tomo**
Sorry, Ogawa. I couldn't control myself.
**[19:53] Mifune**
Isn't he gonna try to
get you back for that?!
**[19:55] Tomo**
Probably.
**[19:56] Ogawa**
How are you, like, so calm?!
**[19:58] Ogawa**
You should, like, apologize right now!
**[20:02] Tomo**
It's okay.
**[20:05] Tomo**
If he comes after any of us,
it'll probably be me.
**[20:09] Tomo**
And if he does try anything
with you two, I'll protect you.
**[20:13] Tomo**
Don't worry.
**[20:14] Mifune**
*Seriously, what the hell is with that?!*
**[20:17] Ogawa**
*She's so, like, manly!*
**[20:24] Punk1**
Five guys against one girl? Are you serious?
**[20:28] Punk2**
You really are a total sleaze, man.
**[20:31] Punk2**
I kinda like that, though.
**[20:32] Leader**
Shut up! Don't think of her as a girl!
**[20:35] Leader**
She's as strong as a gorilla!
**[20:37] Punk2**
You're being dramatic, man.
**[20:39] Leader**
I ain't gonna forget that
damned red-haired giant!
**[20:42] Leader**
I think her name was... Aizawa.
**[20:49] Leader**
All right, let's go, boys!
**[20:53] Leader**
We're gonna teach that
gorilla chick a les—
**[21:01] Punk1**
Y-You okay, man?!
**[21:03] Punk3**
What the hell is your problem?!
**[21:05] Punk2**
And who are you, anyway?!
**[21:07] Punk1**
A first-year?
**[21:08] Junichiro**
Kubota Junichiro, Class 1-A.
**[21:18] Junichiro**
You don't need to remember that.
**[21:27] Tomo**
So you came.
**[21:29] Tomo**
Wanna fight me?
**[21:32] Punks**
We're sorry!
**[21:36] Tomo**
Huh?
**[21:38] Tomo**
Huh?!
**[21:40] Tomo**
What the heck was their deal?
**[21:43] Tomo**
I don't think I went *that* far.
**[21:46] Tomo**
They were all beat up, too.
**[21:50] Tomo**
And what about you? How'd you get hurt?
**[21:53] Junichiro**
I fell.
**[21:54] Tomo**
Oh, okay.
**[21:56] Tomo**
You know, you fall down a lot, huh?
You have ever since middle school.
**[22:00] Junichiro**
Leave me alone.
**[22:02] Tomo**
I'll make you some more dried sardine
rice balls so you won't break any bones!
**[22:07] Junichiro**
Sure.

I didn't. I thought she meant you.

Carol really didn't put much thought
into this map she gave us.
**[01:57] Misuzu**
I'm not sure if I'd even call it a map.
**[01:59] Tomo**
It should be around here,
**[02:02] Tomo**
but there's nothing but a
fence with no end in sight.
**[02:05] Misuzu**
I wonder if it's some sort of facility.
**[02:12] Tomo**
It's... not here, right?
**[02:15] Misuzu**
I really want to hope it isn't.
**[02:17] Carol's Mom**
Oh! You two!
**[02:21] Carol's Mom**
What are you doing just standing
in front of my house?
**[02:25] Carol's Mom**
Are you bad people?
**[02:27] Misuzu**
*No mistaking it.*
**[02:29] Tomo**
*They're definitely related.*
**[02:33] Carol's Mom**
You're Carol-chan's friends?
**[02:35] Carol's Mom**
Is that true?
**[02:37] Carol's Mom**
Especially you, the tall one!
**[02:40] Carol's Mom**
You don't have any perverted intentions?
**[02:43] Tomo**
Huh?!
**[02:44] Carol's Mom**
I know that all boys are...
**[02:48] Carol's Mom**
Oh. Breasts.
**[02:51] Tomo**
Um... For what it's worth,
I'm actually a girl.
**[02:56] Carol's Mom**
Oh, okay! Come on in!
**[03:00] Misuzu**
I want to go home.
**[03:01] Tomo**
Don't leave! I can't handle this on my own!
**[03:05] Carol's Mom**
The path to our house is like a maze,
**[03:08] Carol's Mom**
so make sure you follow me closely.
**[03:11] Carol's Mom**
Even I get lost sometimes, but still...
**[03:14] Tomo**
Huh?!
**[03:15] Carol's Mom**
I'm sure it will be just fine today!
**[03:19] Carol's Mom**
At least, I sure hope it will be!
**[03:23] Tomo**
*I'm having all of the bad feelings...*
**[03:25] Misuzu**
*Maybe I really should go home...*
**[03:30] Carol**
Welcome back, Mummy!
**[03:32] Carol's Mom**
I'm home, Carol-chan!
**[03:36] Carol's Mom**
I miss you so much! I love you so much!
**[03:40] Carol**
Oh!
**[03:41] Carol**
Yay! Tomo-chan's here!
**[03:43] Tomo**
Hey...
**[03:44] Carol**
Thank you for coming! You too, Misuzu-chan!
**[03:47] Carol**
Thank—
**[03:50] Carol**
Harsh.
**[03:52] Carol**
Oh!
**[03:53] Carol**
Look! We have matching braids!
**[04:04] Carol**
Meanie.
**[04:11] Tomo**
Wh-What *is* this place?!
**[04:14] Carol**
It's my room.
**[04:15] Tomo**
What are you? A princess?!
**[04:18] Tomo**
Are you a princess?!
**[04:20] Carol**
Huh? Yeah.
**[04:21] Tomo**
No way!
**[04:23] Misuzu**
Would you calm down?
**[04:24] Misuzu**
She's just really rich.
**[04:28] Carol**
This is me when I was little.
**[04:30] Tomo**
Wow...
**[04:32] Tomo**
You've always worn ribbons
in your hair, huh?
**[04:34] Carol**
Yep. Mummy used to say
**[04:37] Carol**
that I'm pudding.
**[04:39] Tomo**
Say what?
**[04:40] Carol**
Pudding.
**[04:41] Carol**
That's why I always wear soft, cute clothes.
**[04:45] Carol**
The ribbon is the cherry,
and you can't forget the cherry!
**[04:49] Carol**
But the most important thing is...
**[04:51] Misuzu**
Not letting anyone eat you?
**[04:53] Tomo**
Huh?
**[04:54] Carol**
How'd you know? Amazing!
**[04:58] Misuzu**
I'm going to use your bathroom.
**[05:01] Carol**
Sure. It's...
**[05:03] Misuzu**
I saw it on the way in. I can find it.
**[05:21] Misuzu**
Um...
**[05:23] Misuzu**
Is there something you want from me?
**[05:25] Carol's Mom**
You were mean to Carol-chan earlier.
**[05:29] Carol's Mom**
Are you actually a bad girl?
**[05:32] Misuzu**
That's what this is about?
**[05:40] Misuzu**
If I said I'm friends with
her for her money...
**[05:43] Misuzu**
What would you do?
**[05:51] Carol's Mom**
I'm sorry. You're a very cute girl!
**[05:54] Misuzu**
Uh, thanks...
**[05:56] Misuzu**
*Why do I feel like I just lost?*
**[06:00] Carol**
Tomo-chan, let's play Othello.
**[06:03] Tomo**
Sure! I won't go easy on you!
**[06:05] Carol**
Okay, I'll be white.

Bye, Carol.
**[06:40] Tomo**
See you at school.
**[06:42] Misuzu**
Thank you for having us.
**[06:44] Carol's Mom**
Please come visit again sometime!
**[06:48] Carol's Mom**
And you, too.
**[06:50] Carol's Mom**
Come by again!

**[07:14] Tomo**
Hey, Misuzu, did you hear?
**[07:16] Tomo**
We have midterms tomorrow!
**[07:19] Misuzu**
I'm more shocked that
you asked me if I knew.
**[07:22] Tomo**
I completely forgot! I'm in so much trouble!
**[07:26] Misuzu**
In that case, let's have
a study group today.
**[07:29] Tomo**
Really? Don't you have to study, too?
**[07:32] Misuzu**
I don't mind. We can do it at my house.
**[07:36] Carol**
Can I come, too?
**[07:40] Misuzu**
Sure, I guess...
**[07:42] Carol**
Thank you.
**[07:43] Misuzu**
Stop talking like that.
**[07:46] Junichiro**
Tomo!
**[07:47] Junichiro**
Let's study together after school.
**[07:49] Junichiro**
I'll be your tutor.
**[07:51] Tomo**
Huh?!
**[07:52] Misuzu**
You'll tutor Tomo, you say?
**[07:56] Misuzu**
Don't be so full of yourself.
**[07:57] Junichiro**
What?
**[07:58] Misuzu**
What was your ranking in our
last middle school exam?
**[08:02] Junichiro**
Huh? I think I ranked around 30.
**[08:05] Junichiro**
So what?
**[08:07] Misuzu**
I ranked... number one.
**[08:11] Junichiro**
Damn it!
**[08:17] Tomo**
I'm kinda surprised, though.
**[08:20] Misuzu**
About what?
**[08:21] Tomo**
Well, you usually try to get
me and Jun together, right?
**[08:26] Tomo**
So why this ti—
**[08:30] Misuzu**
I'm allowed every now
and then, too, aren't I?
**[08:34] Carol**
Do that to me, too.
**[08:36] Misuzu**
No.
**[08:39] Tomo**
I haven't been here in a while.
**[08:41] Tomo**
It looks pretty different in here now.
**[08:43] Carol**
You haven't been here very much, either?
**[08:46] Tomo**
When we were kids, she told
me not to come to her house.
**[08:49] Tomo**
I don't remember why, though.
**[08:52] Misuzu**
You don't remember?
**[08:54] Misuzu**
It's because you kept breaking
everything in my house.
**[08:57] Tomo**
Oh... Th-That's right.
**[09:00] Misuzu**
You just weren't the kind of child
that could play sitting down.
**[09:03] Misuzu**
Even today, I'm actually super worried.
**[09:05] Tomo**
C'mon, that's not gonna
be a problem anymore!
**[09:09] Misuzu's Mom**
I'm home.
**[09:13] Misuzu's Mom**
Don't tell me...
**[09:15] Misuzu's Mom**
Misuzu has a boyfriend?!
**[09:18] Misuzu**
Mom.
**[09:19] Misuzu**
Welcome home.
**[09:20] Tomo**
Hey, I'm here to visit!
**[09:22] Misuzu's Mom**
Akemi?!
**[09:23] Tomo**
Uh, no, I'm her daughter...
**[09:25] Misuzu's Mom**
Tomo-chan?
**[09:28] Misuzu's Mom**
You do look just like her.
**[09:30] Misuzu's Mom**
But don't grow up to *be* like her.
**[09:33] Tomo**
Uh-huh...
**[09:34] Carol**
Nice to meet you. My name is Carol.
**[09:37] Misuzu's Mom**
Most people don't get this close
when meeting for the first time.
**[09:40] Carol**
You look just as cute as Misuzu-chan!
**[09:45] Misuzu's Mom**
I'm not sold on this one.
**[09:46] Carol**
Aw...
**[09:47] Misuzu**
I'm not, either.
**[09:48] Carol**
Aw...
**[09:51] Tomo**
I don't get this at all.
**[09:53] Misuzu**
It's just a long equation. It's not hard.
**[09:56] Misuzu**
Let's walk through it a step at a time.
**[09:59] Carol**
It's √10/2-√2, right?
**[10:04] Tomo/Misuzu**
Huh?
**[10:06] Misuzu**
She's right.
**[10:07] Tomo**
For real?!
**[10:09] Misuzu**
It's an easy problem, but not one you
should be able to do in your head...
**[10:12] Carol**
I could.
**[10:13] Tomo**
Are you some kinda genius?!
**[10:15] Tomo**
How'd you do that?!
**[10:16] Carol**
Well, these ones here are friends,
**[10:20] Carol**
so if you whip this around here
and smoosh it onto here...
**[10:23] Misuzu**
If math could be solved
that way, anyone could...
**[10:25] Tomo**
Whoa, that's amazing! It worked!
**[10:28] Carol**
See?
**[10:28] Tomo**
Oh, man! I might be a genius!
**[10:31] Carol**
Tomo-chan the genius!
**[10:32] Misuzu**
I don't know what you did,
**[10:35] Misuzu**
but in math, the process is
as important as the solution.
**[10:38] Misuzu**
You won't get credit if you
can't show your work.
**[10:41] Carol**
What a pain.
**[10:42] Tomo**
You said it! That's so inefficient!
**[10:48] Tomo**
Okay! Now I'm ready to get serious!
**[10:51] Carol**
Me, too!
**[10:53] Misuzu**
There's a lot going on here,
so you can express all this as x.
**[10:57] Tomo**
Oh, you're right! That's much better!
**[10:59] Carol**
You're a good teacher, Misuzu-chan.
**[11:01] Tomo**
You really are. You've got a knack for this.
**[11:05] Misuzu**
I'd say this much is just normal.
**[11:06] Tomo**
Don't be so modest!
**[11:08] Tomo**
I mean, you're good enough
to make *me* understand!
**[11:11] Tomo**
If I can keep this up,
**[11:13] Tomo**
I might actually be able to go
to the same university as you!
**[11:18] Misuzu**
You want to do that?
**[11:19] Tomo**
Of course I do!
**[11:21] Tomo**
I was barely able to follow
you into this high school,
**[11:23] Tomo**
so it might not be easy,
**[11:26] Tomo**
but you're my best friend, after all!
**[11:31] Misuzu**
I see...
**[11:35] Misuzu**
Okay, okay. You can follow me, too.
**[11:44] Tomo**
Heck yeah!

Who was number one?
***SIGN*** 1 • Carol Olston
***SIGN*** Heart-Pounding!
***SIGN*** A Gaming Overnighter
**[12:24] Tomo**
"Heart-Pounding! A Gaming Overnighter."
**[12:28] Junichiro**
I bought that game you said
you were interested in.
**[12:31] Junichiro**
*Winners Eleven*.
**[12:33] Tomo**
Oh, nice!
**[12:35] Tomo**
My parents almost never buy me video games.
**[12:38] Tomo**
Come to think of it, when we first met,
you were a gamer kid, huh?
**[12:44] (Flashback) Tomo**
Hey, gamer kid!
**[12:53] Tomo**
That takes me back!
**[12:56] Tomo**
Hey, cut it out!
**[12:59] Junichiro**
Never call me that again.
**[13:01] Tomo**
Wh-What's with you?
**[13:09] Junichiro**
Wanna come over today?
**[13:11] Junichiro**
We'll do some gaming together,
like we used to.
**[13:13] Tomo**
Really?! I can?!
**[13:14] Junichiro**
Of course you can.
**[13:17] Junichiro**
There's no school tomorrow,
so you can even stay over.
**[13:19] Junichiro**
We can play games until super late!
**[13:22] Tomo**
A gaming overnighter, huh?
**[13:24] Tomo**
I can't wait!
**[13:27] Tomo**
I was so distracted by gaming,
I didn't realize!
**[13:31] Tomo**
I'm spending the night at Jun's house!
**[13:35] Misuzu**
*There's all sorts of gaming going on here.*
**[13:37] Carol**
So... can I come, too?
**[13:40] Tomo**
You'll go with me, Carol?!
**[13:43] Carol**
This is a thing I shouldn't go to, isn't it?
**[13:46] Misuzu**
If you know that, don't complicate things.
**[13:48] Tomo**
No! I shouldn't do this!
**[13:50] Tomo**
I'm gonna tell him no!
**[13:52] Carol**
Wait, Tomo-chan.
**[13:53] Misuzu**
Sit down.
**[13:55] Tomo**
Why?
**[13:56] Misuzu**
Don't ask why. Just sit down.
**[13:59] Carol**
Just sit, okay?
**[14:01] Carol**
You telling him no...
**[14:03] Misuzu**
...is not an option.
**[14:05] Tomo**
* It's only at times like this*
* that they get along.*
**[14:09] Junichiro**
Tomo! Walk home with me!
**[14:12] Tomo**
Jun!
**[14:14] Tomo**
I'm, uh... walking with
Misuzu and Carol today.
**[14:18] Junichiro**
Oh, okay. I'll wait for you at home, then.
**[14:21] Tomo**
S-Sure.
**[14:28] Misuzu**
Fighting it is useless.
You're seeing him later anyway.
**[14:31] Carol**
Yeah, at his house.
**[14:34] Misuzu**
Going home separately actually seems
like a tease. Almost as if...
**[14:39] Carol**
As if?
**[14:40] Tomo**
Oh, just shut up, damn it!
**[14:44] Tomo**
I'm gonna stay over at Jun's house tonight.
**[14:46] Akemi**
Huh?
**[14:48] Tomo**
Wh-What?
**[14:50] Akemi**
I see. I thought we still
had a lot more time...
**[14:54] Akemi**
But maybe it's time to start considering it.
**[14:57] Tomo**
Huh?
**[14:58] Akemi**
My grandchild's name.
**[15:00] Tomo**
You're jumping *way* ahead here!
**[15:02] Tomo**
Dad! I'm staying over at Jun's tonight!
**[15:07] Goro**
Okay. Don't make too much trouble for them.
**[15:11] Tomo**
Huh?
**[15:13] Goro**
What's the problem? You can go on over.
**[15:19] Tomo**
* It's actually kinda unsettling that*
* they're not concerned at all.*
**[15:24] Junichiro**
I've been waiting for you, Tomo!
**[15:26] Tomo**
Mom told me to bring you this.
**[15:29] Junichiro**
Cool, thanks! I'll let my mom know tomorrow.
**[15:33] Tomo**
Tomorrow?
**[15:34] Junichiro**
Yeah. She's not home today.
**[15:38] Junichiro**
Went on a trip, apparently.
**[15:39] Tomo**
Why didn't you tell me that sooner?!
**[15:42] Junichiro**
Huh? Did you need to talk
to my mom or something?
**[15:45] Tomo**
That's not the issue here!
**[15:49] Tomo**
You make such awesome curry, Jun.
**[15:52] Tomo**
I'll make some for you sometime.
**[15:53] Junichiro**
Oh, yeah...
**[15:55] Junichiro**
Every now and then... I do
want to try your cooking.
**[15:59] Tomo**
Really? Well, whenever you
want some, just ask!
**[16:02] Junichiro**
Sure.
**[16:04] Junichiro**
Anyway, what do you wanna
do about your bath?
**[16:06] Tomo**
Hmm... I usually take mine at night, so...
**[16:09] Tomo**
I was planning to bathe here.
**[16:12] Junichiro**
Go ahead and take yours after
we're done eating, then.
**[16:15] Junichiro**
I wanna keep gaming right up until bedtime.
**[16:18] Tomo**
O-Okay... I will.
**[16:21] Junichiro**
I just had mine, so you can just
reheat the water and get right in.
**[16:29] Tomo**
I'll just take a shower!
**[16:30] Junichiro**
Why? A good, long soak will warm you—
**[16:33] Tomo**
Just a shower!
**[16:47] Junichiro**
I'll leave a towel right—
**[16:48] Junichiro**
What?! Did something happen?!
**[16:50] Tomo**
N-No, nothing!
**[17:04] Tomo**
Sorry to make you wait so long.
**[17:07] Tomo**
What happened to your cheeks?
**[17:09] Tomo**
They're all red.
**[17:11] Tomo**
Huh?
**[17:13] Tomo**
Why?
**[17:17] Tomo**
*The mood's so awkward for some reason.*
**[17:20] Tomo**
*Is Jun actually conscious of me, too?*
**[17:30] Tomo**
* What can I do? Should I try*
* saying something to him first?*
**[17:36] Junichiro**
Okay, Tomo!
**[17:38] Junichiro**
Let's play that game!
**[17:39] Tomo**
*Wait, what?!*
***SIGN*** FC VASIMR
***SIGN*** Hill Villagers
**[17:42] Junichiro**
It's been a long time.
Want me to go easy on you?
**[17:45] Tomo**
Get over yourself!
**[17:47] Tomo**
There! Go! That's it!
**[17:49] Tomo**
My pass was good! You're wide open!
**[17:52] Tomo**
Oh, yeah! And shoot!
**[17:55] Tomo**
Score!
**[18:01] Junichiro**
You're not half bad.
**[18:04] Tomo**
You'll never beat me at video games, either!
**[18:07] Tomo**
Aw, damn it!
**[18:10] Tomo**
I lost again!
**[18:12] Junichiro**
Because you just keep
attacking and never defend.
**[18:15] Junichiro**
You need to think about how the game—
**[18:17] Tomo**
Shut up, gamer kid!
**[18:19] Junichiro**
I told you not to call me that!
**[18:22] Tomo**
Okay, I'm sorry!
**[18:33] Junichiro**
Wanna play another match?
**[18:34] Tomo**
Yeah, sure.
**[18:37] Tomo**
It's 9:00 already?
**[18:40] Tomo**
What do you wanna do? Stay up late?
**[18:42] Junichiro**
Can you even stay up late?
**[18:45] Tomo**
Don't underestimate me!
I once stayed up until 11:30!
**[18:49] Junichiro**
That's all? I've...
**[18:53] Junichiro**
stayed up until midnight before.
**[18:56] Tomo**
M-Midnight?!
**[18:58] Tomo**
That's the next day!
**[19:00] Junichiro**
It's not that big a deal.
**[19:04] Tomo**
Maybe...
**[19:06] Tomo**
we really can't stay up late.
**[19:09] Junichiro**
Yeah, maybe.
**[19:16] Junichiro**
Goodnight.
**[19:17] Tomo**
Yeah, goodnight.
**[19:22] Tomo**
*It smells like Jun.*
**[19:25] Tomo**
*We're really just gonna go to sleep now?*
**[19:28] Tomo**
*It seems like such a waste.*
**[19:31] Tomo**
*Wait, a waste of what?!*
**[19:33] Junichiro**
Tomo?
**[19:35] Junichiro**
You awake?
**[19:38] Tomo**
What's up?
**[19:39] Junichiro**
Today was fun, huh?
**[19:43] Junichiro**
Do you think we're gonna...
**[19:46] Junichiro**
always be like...
**[19:52] Tomo**
Jun, I...
**[19:57] Tomo**
*That jerk!*
**[20:02] Tomo**
*That's what his face looks like?*
**[20:05] Tomo**
*I'm always so close to him,*
**[20:07] Tomo**
* but I don't get many chances*
* to just look at his face.*
**[20:14] Tomo**
* Especially the little*
* details like his ears.*
**[20:18] Tomo**
*Oh, so this is what they look like?*
**[20:20] Tomo**
*What about his nose?*
**[20:26] Tomo**
*Oh, crap. This is kinda fun.*
**[20:35] Tomo**
*Wh-What is this?!*
**[20:38] Tomo**
*What is going on?!*
**[20:40] Tomo**
Jun?!
**[21:09] Tomo**
Jun, you sleep in the weirdest positions.
**[21:14] Tomo**
Well, I'm off. See you at the dojo later.
**[21:17] Junichiro**
Yeah.
**[21:20] Tomo**
*In spite of everything, that was really fun.*
**[21:23] Tomo**
*I'm glad I came.*
**[21:25] Tomo**
*But I feel like I'm forgetting something...*
**[21:29] Tomo**
*Last night, I got to Jun's house,*
**[21:31] Tomo**
*ate curry,*
**[21:32] Tomo**
*took a shower,*
**[21:33] Tomo**
*played games,*
**[21:35] Tomo**
*went to sleep in the bed...*
**[21:40] Tomo**
*and woke up in the futon?!*
**[21:47] Tomo**
*After that, things between us...*
**[21:52] Junichiro**
What?
**[21:53] Tomo**
Nothing.
**[21:55] Junichiro**
Okay, then.
**[22:04] Tomo**
*...were like this for about a week.*
**[22:10] ED**
*(This suspicious behavior is...)*
**[22:14] ED**
*Hey, you know, I'm all mixed up*
**[22:18] ED**
*It's too complicated, I'm freaking out*
**[22:23] ED**
*I want to look cute to you*
**[22:23] ED**
*(crazy, crazy, drive me crazy, and that's…)*
**[22:25] ED**
* So I'm plotting, bargaining,*
* sly, and stubborn*
**[22:29] ED**
*Dizzying love*
**[22:34] ED**
*Just tell him to look at you*
**[22:38] ED**
* And watch him stiffen up even more,*
* because you're both so awkward*
**[22:43] ED**
*What? Even if we're alike in that way*
**[22:47] ED**
* It doesn't make me happy, 'cause it*
* means our love is going nowhere*
**[22:52] ED**
* Cloudy heart, swirling emotions—*
* I sense rain coming*
**[23:00] ED**
* So I partly open my umbrella,*
* then sneakily scoot closer to you*
**[23:09] ED**
* Please notice the curl of my*
* eyelashes as I keep blinking*
**[23:13] ED**
*And don't say I'm acting weird*
**[23:18] ED**
* All this plotting and bargaining*
* is my sly plan to look cute to you*
**[23:22] ED**
* Try to solve the riddle of*
* this soft, dizzying love*
**[23:25] ED**
*(Buzzing, fidgeting)*
**[23:30] ED**
* Listen, I might be a bit*
* tangled in my own web now*
**[23:34] ED**
* But once you unravel the mystery,*
* you'll see pure lo-love*

Huh?
**[01:38] Junichiro**
You wanted these, right?
**[01:43] Tomo**
Thanks! But why?
**[01:47] Junichiro**
Today's your birthday, remember?
**[01:49] Tomo**
Oh, yeah! I guess it is!
**[01:55] Tomo**
I'm older than you now!
**[01:58] Tomo**
Show me some respect!

Jun just gave them to me!
**[02:13] Tomo**
My birthday present! Pretty cool, right?
**[02:16] Tomo**
So yeah, I went ahead and turned 16 first!
**[02:20] Misuzu**
Indeed. Happy birthday.

From me.
**[02:33] Tomo**
Wow, really? Thanks!
**[02:37] Tomo**
Oh, it's pretty heavy. What's in it?
**[02:40] Misuzu**
Reference books.
**[02:43] Tomo**
Th-Thanks...
**[02:45] Misuzu**
I'm so glad you like it.
**[03:04] Carol**
Happy birthday, dear—
**[03:04] Tomo**
Wait!
**[03:06] Tomo**
Wait, wait, wait!
**[03:08] Tomo**
Um... What is this?
**[03:11] Carol**
It's gold.
**[03:12] Carol**
I have a bigger one at home,
**[03:15] Carol**
but it was too heavy to carry to school.
**[03:17] Tomo**
I'm happy, but... this is
definitely too much.
**[03:21] Misuzu**
Would you be interested in putting
that wealth of yours to use?
**[03:24] Carol**
Misuzu-chan!
**[03:25] Tomo**
No!
**[03:26] Tomo**
Don't team up with her!
**[03:29] Misuzu**
Tomo, want to come over
to my house this weekend?
**[03:33] Carol**
We're gonna give you a big transformation!
***SIGN*** Saturday
**[03:41] Tomo**
What's all this about transforming me?
**[03:44] Tomo**
You're gonna dress me up like you
did the day I went out with Jun?
**[03:48] Misuzu**
First, you're putting on this skirt.
**[03:50] Tomo**
A skirt?!
**[03:52] Carol**
Put this on, too.
**[03:53] Tomo**
A hairpiece?!
**[03:54] Carol**
A wig.
**[03:55] Tomo**
So... what does all this mean?
**[03:58] Misuzu**
It means we're using this opportunity
to make you as feminine as possible.
**[04:03] Tomo**
So I'm gonna dress like a girl?!
**[04:05] Carol**
You say that as if you're *not* a girl.
**[04:11] Tomo**
Well? Aren't you done yet?
**[04:13] Misuzu**
We're still on the basics.
**[04:17] Tomo**
It's kind of a weird feeling, though.
**[04:20] Misuzu**
What is?
**[04:21] Tomo**
Me wearing makeup, I mean.
**[04:25] Tomo**
If I did it right,
**[04:28] Tomo**
could I have a pretty face like this, too?
**[04:38] Misuzu**
Take over.
**[04:39] Carol**
'Kay!
**[04:41] Tomo**
Huh?
**[04:46] Tomo**
H-H-How do I look?
**[04:49] Carol**
You're pretty, Tomo-chan!
**[04:51] Misuzu**
Indeed.
**[04:52] Tomo**
R-Really?!
**[04:54] Misuzu**
Since we've done all this,
try talking more like a girl, too.
**[04:58] Tomo**
More like a girl? But I don't know how to...
**[05:01] Misuzu**
Just start by speaking more politely.
**[05:05] Tomo**
H-Hello. My name is Aizawa Tomo.
**[05:09] Tomo**
It's a pleasure to meet you.
**[05:13] Tomo**
Am I doing this right?
**[05:14] Carol**
You're super cute!
**[05:17] Misuzu**
Indeed. Boys would probably like it.
**[05:19] Tomo**
Huh?!
**[05:21] Carol**
I don't think you could make
friends with them, though.
**[05:23] Misuzu**
You'd just be a thorn in their sides.
**[05:26] Tomo**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[05:31] Misuzu**
I'm suddenly craving some ice cream.
**[05:34] Carol**
Me, too.
**[05:35] Tomo**
Oh, I'll go buy some, then.
**[05:38] Tomo**
You've both done a lot for me, after all.
**[05:41] Carol**
Really?
**[05:42] Misuzu**
Sorry to make you do this.
**[05:43] Tomo**
Don't worry about it!
**[05:45] Tomo**
Just... let me change fir—
**[05:49] Tomo**
Wha—
**[05:50] Tomo**
Hey! Are you seriously making
me go out dressed like this?!
**[05:52] Misuzu**
Absolutely.
**[05:54] Misuzu**
There's no point in dressing like that
if we're the only ones who see it.
**[05:58] Tomo**
Yeah, but...
**[05:59] Misuzu**
Off you go.
**[06:00] Misuzu**
I wish you luck.
**[06:02] Tomo**
Hey! Misuz—
**[06:08] Tomo**
*Damn those two!*
**[06:14] Tomo**
* They're staring at me!*
* I guess I really do look weird!*
**[06:18] Tomo**
*Wait, Jun?!*
**[06:23] Tomo**
* What do I do?! What excuse can*
* I give for being dressed like this?!*
**[06:29] Tomo**
*H-Huh?*
**[06:30] Tomo**
* Not sure what that's about, but...*
* if he doesn't recognize me, I'm golden!*
**[06:34] Tomo**
*I'll just buy my stuff and get outta here!*
**[06:37] Junichiro**
*There's no way. There's no damn way.*
**[06:40] Tomo**
*Okay! I gotta get away from here quick!*
**[06:48] Junichiro**
Whoa, are you okay?
**[06:55] Junichiro**
*Her face looks just like Tomo's,*
**[06:58] Junichiro**
*but she doesn't wear stuff like this. She doesn't wear makeup, either.*
**[07:02] Junichiro**
*If this is Tomo, I don't... I mean...*
**[07:05] Junichiro**
*I can't.*
**[07:07] Junichiro**
Do you need a hand?
**[07:14] Tomo**
*Wh-What is this soft touch he's using?*
**[07:20] Junichiro**
Whoa...
**[07:22] Junichiro**
Are you okay?
**[07:23] Tomo**
*Why is he treating me like this?*
**[07:27] Junichiro**
Well, I'll be going now.
**[07:30] Tomo**
U-Um...
**[07:34] Tomo**
Would you mind if I walked
with you... for a while?
**[07:39] Tomo**
*What the heck was I thinking?!*
**[07:41] Tomo**
*What do I do now?!*
**[07:44] Junichiro**
* Now that we're walking together,*
* I'm sure of it.*
**[07:46] Junichiro**
*This girl isn't Tomo.*
**[07:49] Junichiro**
*Tomo's a little shorter than she is.*
**[07:52] Tomo**
Um, please don't look at me so much.
**[07:56] Junichiro**
Oh, I'm sorry.
**[07:58] Tomo**
I really do look strange, don't I?
**[08:02] Tomo**
Even I realize that.
**[08:04] Junichiro**
Huh?
**[08:05] Junichiro**
No, I think you just look pretty.
**[08:10] Tomo**
*Today's the day I die, isn't it?!*
**[08:14] Kids**
That's it!
**[08:15] Kids**
There you go!
**[08:17] Kids**
You got it!
**[08:21] Kids**
Way to go!
**[08:27] Kids**
Here I go!
**[08:28] Tomo**
*That kid's pretty good.*
**[08:31] Kids**
Go, go!
**[08:32] Tomo**
*That's it! Go!*
**[08:34] Tomo**
*Shoot!*
**[08:36] Tomo**
Aw, so close!
**[08:38] Junichiro**
Huh?
**[08:39] Tomo**
Huh?
**[08:42] Tomo**
I'm sorry. I like watching sports and such.
**[08:46] Junichiro**
That's surprising.
**[08:47] Tomo**
I get all fired up when I watch them.
**[08:50] Tomo**
That's not very ladylike, is it?
**[08:52] Junichiro**
I don't know if it's ladylike or not,
**[08:56] Junichiro**
but I like people like that.
**[08:59] Tomo**
* What's with him today?!*
* Is he trying to kill me?!*
**[09:02] Junichiro**
Those two are pretty good, aren't they?
**[09:05] Tomo**
Huh? Oh... Yes, they do stand out.
**[09:09] Tomo**
They're clearly good friends.
**[09:11] Tomo**
Even though they're a boy and a girl...
**[09:14] Junichiro**
What do you think will happen
to them in the future?
**[09:17] Tomo**
Huh? Well, uh...
**[09:20] Tomo**
I-It'd be nice if they became
boyfriend and girlfriend.
**[09:24] Junichiro**
I figured you'd say that.
**[09:27] Tomo**
Huh?!
**[09:29] Junichiro**
I have someone like that, too.
**[09:31] Junichiro**
A girl who's... basically my best friend.
**[09:35] Junichiro**
But lately, things aren't the same
as they were when we were kids.
**[09:41] Tomo**
How would you like things to
turn out with her in the future?
**[09:45] Junichiro**
Well, I haven't really
given it much thought.
**[09:48] Tomo**
Well, you need to think about it!
**[09:51] Junichiro**
My goal for the time being is...
**[09:55] Junichiro**
to beat her, I guess.
**[09:57] Tomo**
Be—
**[09:58] Tomo**
*At this point... should I just tell him?*
**[10:01] Tomo**
*I'll tell him I'm Tomo!*
**[10:03] Tomo**
* Then maybe he'll see me*
* as a little bit more...*
**[10:06] Junichiro**
Um, there's something I've been wondering...
**[10:09] Tomo**
Huh?!
**[10:11] Junichiro**
You bought ice cream at the
convenience store. Is it okay out here?
**[10:19] Tomo**
Oh, crap!
**[10:21] Tomo**
Th-Thank you so much for all you've done today!
**[10:24] Junichiro**
Uh, hang on...
**[10:26] Tomo**
I'd better be going now!
**[10:31] Junichiro**
It couldn't be... right?
**[10:36] Tomo**
Sorry I took so long!
**[10:38] Tomo**
A lot happened on the... way...

Forget about that. Did you really see
Junichiro at the convenience store?
**[10:54] Tomo**
Oh, yeah...
**[10:55] Tomo**
He said I looked pretty.
**[10:57] Carol**
Wow! That's great!
**[11:00] Tomo**
Well... If I'm being honest,
I was super happy when he said it.
**[11:06] Tomo**
But I guess what I really want to
hear him say is something else.
**[11:12] Carol**
You mean you'd rather be
called cute than pretty?
**[11:14] Misuzu**
Let's try for that next time.
**[11:17] Tomo**
Uh, no, that's not what I meant...
**[11:24] Tomo**
What?
**[11:31] Tomo**
That hurt, damn it!
What the hell are you doing?!
**[11:34] Junichiro**
Yeah, that's right.
**[11:37] Junichiro**
That punch could only come from Tomo!
**[11:40] Tomo**
Why are you happy?!
A-Are you some kinda freak?!
***SIGN*** Burn Up!

"Burn Up! The Ball Sports Tournament."
**[11:56] Tomo**
Damn. I missed.
**[12:00] Tomo**
Hey! Why are you running away?
**[12:03] Carol**
Tomo-chan is kinda scary.
**[12:06] Misuzu**
Because the class-versus-class ball
sports tournament is coming up.
**[12:10] Misuzu**
She's always like that
before an athletic event.
**[12:13] Hanao**
Uh, so... For certain reasons...
**[12:17] Hanao**
Aizawa-san will be on the boys' dodgeball
team at the ball sports tournament.
**[12:23] Boy Students**
All right!
**[12:25] Junichiro**
This is awesome, Tomo! We can play together!
**[12:28] Tomo**
*Why did this happen again?!*
***SIGN*** The Day of the Ball Sports Tournament
***SIGN*** First Round
**[12:40] Punk1**
I heard there's a girl on the team

**[12:45] Leader**
For real? This'll be a cakewalk!
**[12:47] Junichiro**
We're ready!
**[12:49] Tomo**
Ready!
**[12:50] Leader**
Sure, we'll play around with ya.
**[12:53] Tomo**
And we'll be giving this all we've got.

You'd better make sure you're prepared.

Let's have a good, fair match!
**[13:11] Misaki**
Yeah.
**[13:12] Tomo**
I know I don't have to hold
back against you, Senpai!
**[13:15] Junichiro**
Let's make it a good game.
**[13:17] Misaki**
Wha...
**[13:18] Misaki**
Everyone, put your own
safety above all else!
**[13:21] Misaki**
Let's finish this match with
everyone still standing!
**[13:26] Misaki's Classmate1**
What're you talking about?
**[13:27] Misaki's Classmate2**
It's just a dodgeball match.
**[13:33] Misaki's Classmates**
Misaki!
***SIGN*** VS. Misaki-senpai and His Classmates
***SIGN*** Overwhelming Victory
**[13:42] Junichiro**
Well, the final round's next.
**[13:44] Tomo**
Yeah.
**[13:46] Tanabe**
Hey! We've got trouble!
**[13:48] Tanabe**
One of the guys on the other team
in the finals is like a gorilla!
**[13:50] Junichiro**
That third-year in the judo club,
Goma Takeru-senpai, right?
**[13:55] Tomo**
The guy known as the strongest
kid in the school.
**[13:58] Tomo**
I'm not sure if even Jun and I can beat him.
**[14:01] Tomo**
I knew the day would come eventually
when we'd have to fight him...
**[14:04] Junichiro**
But I didn't think we'd have
to fight him this soon.
**[14:07] Tanabe**
Uh, no... You don't really
have to fight him.
**[14:11] Junichiro**
What are you saying? He's the
strongest kid in the school!
**[14:14] Tomo**
We've gotta fight him at least once!
**[14:16] Tanabe**
Sorry. I don't get you at all.
**[14:19] Carol**
Too bad we lost at volleyball.
**[14:22] Misuzu**
There was no way a team with
you and me on it could win.
**[14:26] Carol**
True.
**[14:28] Misuzu**
It's just about time for Tomo
and Junichiro's final round.
**[14:33] Misuzu**
What are you snickering about?
**[14:35] Carol**
I was just thinking, you and I
are together a lot lately.
**[14:39] Carol**
Hey, don't go.
***SIGN*** Final Round
**[14:49] Junichiro**
We'll be giving everything
we've got to this final round.
**[14:52] Tomo**
Yep!
**[14:53] Goma**
So you're Aizawa Tomo?
**[14:55] Tomo**
Yeah, that's me.
**[14:57] Goma**
I heard you were the karate club's ace,
**[15:01] Goma**
but frankly, I'm disappointed.
**[15:03] Goma**
I didn't know you'd be such
a fragile-looking little lady.
**[15:06] Tomo**
"A fragile-looking little lady," he says!
**[15:09] Tomo**
Did you hear that?! Well?!
**[15:11] Goma**
You do seem fairly strong...
**[15:14] Goma**
But to be honest, you interest
me more than Aizawa.
**[15:18] Junichiro**
Pardon?
**[15:19] Goma**
I hear you're pretty athletic,
but you're not in any clubs.
**[15:23] Goma**
How about this? If I win this
match, you join the judo club.
**[15:28] Junichiro**
Fine. And if I win...
**[15:33] Junichiro**
What should I say?
**[15:34] Tomo**
Way to fall flat at the
finish line! Don't ask me!
**[15:39] Announcement**
* The final round of boys'*
* dodgeball will now begin.*
**[15:44] Tanabe**
*Misuzu-chan is cheering me on!*
**[15:46] Tanabe**
*Watch me. I'll win this match for you!*
**[15:53] Junichiro**
Tanabe!
**[15:56] Carol**
He was sending you some sort of sign.
**[15:59] Misuzu**
Was he? I wasn't watching.
**[16:01] Tomo**
He didn't waste any time!
**[16:03] Junichiro**
Hey, Tanabe! You okay?!
**[16:08] Goma**
Sports are great, aren't they?
**[16:10] Goma**
It doesn't matter if you hurt someone,
as long as you follow the rules.
**[16:15] Tomo**
Damn that violent bastard!
**[16:18] Junichiro**
What does he think sports are about?!
**[16:21] Carol**
I don't think he's one to talk.
**[16:23] Misuzu**
You can say that again.
**[16:27] Junichiro**
Noda!
**[16:29] Tomo**
Fukaya!
**[16:33] Tomo**
Why aren't you throwing the ball at *me*?!
**[16:40] Goma**
Don't be impatient.
**[16:43] Goma**
I took out the guys who aren't fit
to stand on this court first.
**[16:47] Goma**
And that means you're next, Aizawa!
**[16:56] Tomo**
Uh-oh!
**[16:58] Tomo**
Jun!
**[17:05] Tomo**
You idiot! What the hell were you doing?!
**[17:09] Junichiro**
Dunno. My body just moved on its own.
**[17:14] Tomo**
Stay with me, Jun!
**[17:18] Tomo**
How dare you do that to Jun?
**[17:22] Tomo**
I'm gonna make you pay for that!
**[17:25] Goma**
Oh? And how are you gonna make me pay?
**[17:32] Tanabe**
It's down to a one-on-one between
Aizawa-san and the gorilla.
**[17:36] Tanabe**
Is Aizawa-san gonna be okay?
**[17:38] Junichiro**
Don't worry. No one can beat her.
**[17:41] Tomo**
I'm putting my all into this throw!
**[17:45] Tomo**
Here I go!
**[17:47] Tomo**
Take this, damn it!
**[17:53] Goma**
Bring it on!
**[17:59] Goma**
*It dropped?! A between-the-legs pass?!*
**[18:02] Tomo**
I'm not playing by myself here!
**[18:05] Tomo**
Go, Jun!
**[18:09] Goma/Junichiro**
Huh?
**[18:12] Tanabe**
Yah.
**[18:17] Announcement**
*That concludes the match.*
**[18:19] Announcement**
*The boys' dodgeball winner is Class 1-A!*
**[18:23] Hanao**
Congratulations.
**[18:26] Announcement**
* Everyone, give Class 1-A*
* a round of applause!*
**[18:40] Carol**
Tomo-chan, congrats on the win.
**[18:43] Tomo**
Yeah, thanks.
**[18:45] Misuzu**
What's wrong? You don't seem happy.
**[18:47] Tomo**
I had so much fun being
on a team with him today.
**[18:53] Tomo**
It was like we went back to the old days.
**[18:56] Tomo**
It kinda made me wish things
could stay like this forever.
**[19:02] Tomo**
I hope we can always have the kind of
relationship where we can goof around together.
**[19:07] Tomo**
But I guess we can't, huh?
**[19:10] Misuzu**
*Sorry, Tomo.*
**[19:12] Misuzu**
* In the end, I can only do*
* things for my own gain.*
**[19:20] Goma**
Hey. Hold up.
**[19:23] Goma**
You're not satisfied with
how that ended, are you?
**[19:26] Goma**
Come with me for a minute.
**[19:33] Goma**
Wh-What's the idea?! Why...
**[19:37] Goma**
Why am I getting beat up by you,
when I do judo and you do karate?!
**[19:43] Junichiro**
You let your guard down too much.
**[19:58] Goma**
*I managed to pull off more wins than him.*
**[19:59] Junichiro**
Damn it... I guess I still
can't beat you after all.
**[20:03] Goma**
Is this really an outcome you
should be depressed over?
**[20:06] Junichiro**
Huh?
**[20:07] Goma**
You didn't even use karate on me once.
**[20:11] Goma**
At this point, we might as well say I lost.
**[20:15] Junichiro**
That's not the problem.
**[20:18] Goma**
Hang on!
**[20:20] Goma**
I hear you almost never
enter any tournaments.
**[20:23] Goma**
Don't you feel like that's
a waste of talent?
**[20:27] Goma**
What was your reason for getting so strong?
**[20:31] Junichiro**
I just wanted to catch up to the
big back I saw in front of me.
**[20:37] Junichiro**
But the situation changed,
**[20:39] Junichiro**
and now I don't even know
how to approach it.
**[20:43] Junichiro**
What do you think I should do?
**[20:45] Goma**
Uh... I don't know.
**[20:49] Toma**
I heard you fought with Goma-senpai.
**[20:51] Junichiro**
Yeah, and I lost.
**[20:54] Tomo**
I see.
**[20:56] Junichiro**
I lost, but I bet you could beat him.
**[21:00] Tomo**
You know, I've thought this for a while,
**[21:03] Tomo**
but you overestimate me way too much.
**[21:06] Junichiro**
Do I? I don't think I'm overestimating you.
**[21:10] Junichiro**
Then again, it wouldn't surprise
me if you started breathing fire.
**[21:15] Tomo**
Oh, you're finally counting
me as a monster, huh?
**[21:19] Tomo**
You're a guy, and I'm a girl.
**[21:23] Tomo**
You're obviously gonna be better than
me at any kind of physical contest.
**[21:28] Junichiro**
* During that match, I wasn't*
* expecting that pass at all.*
**[21:33] Junichiro**
* I just believed that you*
* would win it in the end.*
**[21:38] Junichiro**
* Maybe I'm still just a gamer kid who's only*
* strong-willed because you're by my side.*
**[21:47] Junichiro**
*It's not physical strength.*
**[21:49] Tomo**
What's up?
**[21:51] Junichiro**
Oh, nothing.
**[22:01] Junichiro**
*I want...*
**[22:03] Junichiro**
*to be like you.*
**[22:10] ED**
*(This suspicious behavior is...)*
**[22:14] ED**
*Hey, you know, I'm all mixed up*
**[22:18] ED**
*It's too complicated, I'm freaking out*
**[22:23] ED**
*I want to look cute to you*
**[22:23] ED**
*(crazy, crazy, drive me crazy, and that's…)*
**[22:25] ED**
* So I'm plotting, bargaining,*
* sly, and stubborn*
**[22:29] ED**
*Dizzying love*
**[22:34] ED**
*Just tell him to look at you*
**[22:38] ED**
* And watch him stiffen up even more,*
* because you're both so awkward*
**[22:43] ED**
*What? Even if we're alike in that way*
**[22:47] ED**
* It doesn't make me happy, 'cause it*
* means our love is going nowhere*
**[22:52] ED**
* Cloudy heart, swirling emotions—*
* I sense rain coming*
**[23:00] ED**
* So I partly open my umbrella,*
* then sneakily scoot closer to you*
**[23:09] ED**
* Please notice the curl of my*
* eyelashes as I keep blinking*
**[23:13] ED**
*And don't say I'm acting weird*
**[23:18] ED**
* All this plotting and bargaining*
* is my sly plan to look cute to you*
**[23:22] ED**
* Try to solve the riddle of*
* this soft, dizzying love*
**[23:25] ED**
*(Buzzing, fidgeting)*
**[23:30] ED**
* Listen, I might be a bit*
* tangled in my own web now*
**[23:34] ED**
* But once you unravel the mystery,*
* you'll see pure lo-love*

What was your reason for getting so strong?
**[01:56] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I just wanted to catch up to the
big back I saw in front of me.
**[02:04] Junichiro**
*I first met her ten years ago,*
**[02:09] Junichiro**
*the day after I moved here from Tokyo.*

You just moved in yesterday, right?

Isn't Tokyo the place with

where everybody lives way up high?
**[02:39] (Flashback) Tomo**
Did you, too?
**[02:41] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Yeah.
**[02:42] (Flashback) Tomo**
That's so cool!

Oh, and all the cars float in the air,

Yeah, sure.

That's awesome!

So, is that fun?

Lemme see it for a sec!

That's not enough.
**[03:31] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Huh?
**[03:33] (Flashback) Tomo**
I broke something that was important to you.

Hit me a hundred more times!

pay for all damages caused,
**[04:26] (Flashback) Goro**
but is there anything else I can do?
**[04:28] (Flashback) Junichiro**
No, really, everything's fine now.
**[04:31] (Flashback) Goro**
That does not placate me!
**[04:35] Junichiro**
*They're definitely related!*
**[04:36] (Flashback) Akemi**
Hey, Goro! What are you doing?!
**[04:39] (Flashback) Goro**
Akemi!
**[04:40] (Flashback) Akemi**
Don't terrorize the new neighbors!
They just moved in!
**[04:45] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Um...
**[04:47] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Why are they behind me?
**[04:49] (Flashback) Akemi**
I'm sorry about that.
**[04:50] (Flashback) Akemi**
These idiots of mine are
bothering you, aren't they?
**[04:55] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I-It's okay...
**[04:57] (Flashback) Akemi**
All right, come with me!
**[05:00] (Flashback) Akemi**
I'll settle this with his
parents myself later.
**[05:03] (Flashback) Akemi**
Be sure to make up with him, okay?
**[05:05] (Flashback) Tomo**
Okay.
**[05:09] (Flashback) Tomo**
I'm really sorry I broke your game.
**[05:13] (Flashback) Tomo**
We're the same age, and we live next door,
**[05:17] (Flashback) Tomo**
so I'd really like to be your friend.
**[05:20] (Flashback) Tomo**
Can I?
**[05:22] (Flashback) Junichiro**
That's... fine with me.
**[05:33] Junichiro**
* From then on, Tomo and I played*
* together almost every day.*
**[05:42] (Flashback) Junichiro**
You've gotta be crazy!
**[05:48] (Flashback) Tomo**
Hey, gamer kid! Aren't you
gonna come outside today?
**[05:53] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Do I look like I can go outside?
**[05:55] (Flashback) Junichiro**
And stop calling me a gamer kid.
**[05:57] (Flashback) Tomo**
Well, you never call me by my name, either!
**[06:01] (Flashback) Tomo**
It's always "Hey, you," or "monkey,"
or "idiot," or something!
**[06:05] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Sorry.
**[06:07] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Okay, then... Tomo.
**[06:12] (Flashback) Tomo**
Say it one more time!
**[06:14] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Huh? T-Tomo...
**[06:18] (Flashback) Tomo**
For some reason, it makes me really
happy when you call me by my name!
**[06:22] (Flashback) Tomo**
Why is that?!
**[06:24] Junichiro**
*This can't be right... This can't be right!*
**[06:30] (Flashback) Tomo**
Hey, Jun!
**[06:32] (Flashback) Tomo**
Mind if she plays with us today?
**[06:35] (Flashback) Tomo**
This is Misuzu. We've been friends forever.
**[06:37] (Flashback) Tomo**
Be her friend too, okay?
**[06:39] Junichiro**
*She looks like a doll.*
**[06:43] (Flashback) Misuzu**
So you're Junichiro?
**[06:45] (Flashback) Misuzu**
I hear you came here from Tokyo.
**[06:48] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Th-That's right.
**[06:50] (Flashback) Misuzu**
You have the face of a bumpkin, though.
**[06:55] (Flashback) Tomo**
Isn't she hilarious?
**[06:57] (Flashback) Tomo**
She'll pick a fight with anyone!
**[06:59] (Flashback) Junichiro**
That's not hilarious!
**[07:04] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I've never gone out to catch bugs before.
**[07:06] (Flashback) Junichiro**
What kinds of bugs can we catch?
**[07:08] (Flashback) Tomo**
We have stag beetles and rhinoceros beetles.
**[07:11] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Really?!
**[07:13] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I don't wanna go to any
more weird places, though!
**[07:16] (Flashback) Junichiro**
No climbing cliffs or crossing rivers!
**[07:20] (Flashback) Tomo**
Don't worry!
**[07:23] (Flashback) Tomo**
We'll catch our bugs at the
top of these stairs today.
**[07:28] (Flashback) Tomo**
It's only about two hundred steps.
**[07:44] Junichiro**
*Is this kid some kind of monster?*
**[07:55] (Flashback) Tomo**
Wow, he's sure fired up!
**[07:57] (Flashback) Misuzu**
What a child.
**[08:00] (Flashback) Junichiro**
T-Take that!
**[08:02] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I got here first!
**[08:05] (Flashback) Tomo**
That was awesome!
**[08:09] (Flashback) Misuzu**
You look pathetic.
**[08:12] (Flashback) Misuzu**
In the end, the one still
standing is the winner.
**[08:16] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I'm gonna make you cry like a baby later!
**[08:22] (Flashback) Tomo**
You guys are such good friends already!
**[08:30] (Flashback) Tomo**
Look, Jun!
**[08:32] (Flashback) Tomo**
I found a big one!
**[08:35] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Wow, a giant stag beetle!
**[08:39] (Flashback) Misuzu**
That's just a giant cockroach.
**[08:41] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Gross.
**[08:42] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Awesome! I've never seen
one like this before!
**[08:45] (Flashback) Junichiro**
These sell for thousands in stor—
**[08:49] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Beautiful!
**[08:50] (Flashback) Tomo**
Hey, you finally get it now, too?
**[08:54] Junichiro**
*What's with this girl?!*
**[08:58] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Look, Tomo!
**[08:59] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I got one, too!
**[09:01] (Flashback) Tomo**
Hey, nice!
**[09:03] (Flashback) Junichiro**
It looks so cool!
**[09:08] (Flashback) Tomo**
Hey, so you *can* smile!
**[09:11] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Huh? What do you mean by that?
**[09:14] (Flashback) Tomo**
Well, you're always making
those sulky faces.
**[09:18] (Flashback) Tomo**
See? Playing outside every now
and then isn't so bad, right?
**[09:22] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Well, every now and then...
**[09:31] (Flashback) Tomo**
Come on, hurry up!
**[09:34] (Flashback) Tomo**
You've gotten pretty good at climbing trees!
**[09:37] (Flashback) Junichiro**
A little climb like this is nothing.
**[09:40] (Flashback) Tomo**
I can't call you a gamer kid anymore!
**[09:43] (Flashback) Junichiro**
That's right! Never call me that again!
**[09:46] Junichiro**
* I was finally able to keep*
* up with Tomo's crazy games.*
**[09:51] Junichiro**
*Somehow, just being with Tomo*
**[09:53] Junichiro**
*made me feel like I had gotten stronger.*
**[10:03] Junichiro**
*But that was just...*
**[10:04] (Flashback) Bully1**
Hey!
**[10:09] (Flashback) Bully1**
That's a pretty cool thing you've got there.
**[10:14] Junichiro**
*...a big misunderstanding.*
**[10:18] (Flashback) Tomo**
Hey...
**[10:19] (Flashback) Tomo**
What happened to your cheek?
**[10:21] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Huh? Oh... I just fell.
**[10:25] (Flashback) Misuzu**
You're a real klutz, aren't you?
**[10:29] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Yeah, I sure am! I gotta be more careful!
**[10:33] (Flashback) Misuzu**
What are you laughing about?
**[10:36] (Flashback) Misuzu**
You're so confusing.
**[10:42] (Flashback) Tomo**
Here ya go.
**[10:46] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Why did you have this?
**[10:49] (Flashback) Tomo**
Oh, well...
**[10:51] (Flashback) Tomo**
I found it lying on the ground!
**[10:54] (Flashback) Junichiro**
What?!
**[10:55] (Flashback) Junichiro**
What were you thinking?!
You got it back alone?!
**[10:59] (Flashback) Tomo**
Hey, hang on...
**[11:00] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Why would you take a risk like that?!
**[11:04] (Flashback) Tomo**
What do you think you're doing?
**[11:09] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Why do you do things like this?
**[11:12] (Flashback) Tomo**
Huh?
**[11:13] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I never asked you to get it back for me!
**[11:18] (Flashback) Tomo**
I dunno what you're talking about,
**[11:20] (Flashback) Tomo**
but if you're having trouble with something,
of course I'm gonna help you.
**[11:24] (Flashback) Tomo**
We're friends, aren't we?
**[11:26] Junichiro**
*Don't make it sound so simple!*
**[11:32] Junichiro**
*I can't do anything like that for you!*
**[11:42] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Here.
**[11:44] (Flashback) Junichiro**
You can borrow it.
**[11:46] (Flashback) Tomo**
Really? You're sure?
**[11:48] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Yeah.
**[11:49] (Flashback) Tomo**
Thanks!
**[11:51] (Flashback) Tomo**
How long can I borrow it?
**[11:53] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Until...
**[11:56] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Until I'm a stronger man than you.
**[11:58] (Flashback) Junichiro**
When that time comes...
**[12:00] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I'll take it back!

How much stronger you get
from now on is up to you.
**[12:10] (Flashback) Goro**
I won't go easy on you.
**[12:11] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Yes, sir!
**[12:12] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Please teach me!
**[12:13] (Flashback) Goro**
You will respond with "Osu"!
**[12:15] (Flashback) Junichiro**
O-Osu!
**[12:30] Junichiro**
*It's really been ten years?*
**[12:33] Junichiro**
*And I still...*
**[12:38] Tomo**
Yes! I beat the game!
**[12:43] Tomo**
How many dozens of times does that make now?
**[12:46] Tomo**
When's he gonna come to take this thing back?
**[12:49] Tomo**
He's already way stronger than me.

We're here.
**[13:04] Carol**
Heya!
**[13:06] Tomo**
Hey!
**[13:07] Tomo**
* We all decided to go to the beach*
* together over summer break.*
**[13:08] Tomo**
Hey, you're supposed to inflate
the swim ring *after* we get there!
**[13:12] Junichiro**
So you really came? I thought you
had no interest in the beach.
**[13:16] Misuzu**
I wasn't intending to come...
**[13:19] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Well, you got a new swimsuit.
**[13:21] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Now you don't have to be shy about
going to the beach with Junichiro.
**[13:25] (Flashback) Tomo**
Yeah, but I don't know if I have the guts
to play around with him in this swimsuit.
**[13:30] (Flashback) Carol**
Want me to go with you?
**[13:32] (Flashback) Tomo**
You'll come with us?
**[13:33] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Carol, please.
**[13:36] (Flashback) Carol**
I bet Jun-kun's face when he sees Tomo-chan
in a swimsuit will be amazing.
**[13:42] Misuzu**
...but I'm looking forward to this, Junichiro.
**[13:45] Junichiro**
To what?
**[13:47] Carol**
This is for you, Jun-kun.
**[13:49] Junichiro**
Hey, cut it out!
**[13:50] Misuzu**
Carry the parasol, too.
**[13:52] Junichiro**
Why do I have to—
**[13:53] Carol**
And wear these.
**[13:55] Tomo**
H-Hey, you guys...
**[13:57] Carol**
He looks like that one guy in the group
who's fired up when no one else is.
**[14:00] Misuzu**
You're a bit too excited, Junichiro.
**[14:04] Tomo**
Calm down, Jun! There, there!
**[14:18] Tomo**
It's...
**[14:19] Junichiro**
...the...
**[14:20] Carol**
...beach!
**[14:26] Misuzu**
Woo-hoo.
**[14:28] Tomo/Carol/Junichiro**
Yeah!
**[14:42] Carol**
Thanks for waiting, Jun-kun.
**[14:45] Junichiro**
Where's Tomo?
**[14:48] Carol**
Why are you looking up?
***SIGN*** Shower Room
***SIGN*** Changing Room
***SIGN*** Entrance
***SIGN*** Woman
**[14:53] Misuzu**
Tomo's hiding over there.
**[14:58] Junichiro**
What're you hiding for?
**[15:00] Tomo**
Jun!
**[15:01] Junichiro**
You're not supposed to be wearing a hoodie.
**[15:04] Junichiro**
Take that off and let's go swim—
**[15:14] Tomo**
C-Can't breathe...
**[15:22] Carol**
Yay!
**[15:23] Tomo**
This is the best!
**[15:26] Carol**
Feels so nice.
**[15:29] Misuzu**
It's unusual for you to
come over to me by choice.
**[15:33] Junichiro**
Shut up. There's just nowhere else I can sit.
**[15:36] Misuzu**
So Carol and Tomo are too
much of a temptation,
**[15:40] Misuzu**
but being around me doesn't
bother you at all?
**[15:46] Misuzu**
Let me hit you just once.
**[15:49] Junichiro**
I didn't even say anything.
**[15:51] Tomo**
Hey, Jun!
**[15:53] Tomo**
Why are you sitting down?
**[15:55] Junichiro**
T-Tomo?!
**[15:57] Tomo**
Let's hit the water!
**[15:59] Tomo**
Come on, hurry up!
**[16:00] Junichiro**
W-Wait, you idiot! Don't cling to my arm!
**[16:03] Tomo**
Why not?
**[16:03] Junichiro**
Stop! Get away!
**[16:04] Misuzu**
* She's enjoying the beach so much,*
* she forgot about the swimsuit.*
**[16:05] Tomo**
Come on!
**[16:06] Junichiro**
Tomo! Please!
**[16:09] Misuzu**
*Tomo, you probably haven't noticed...*
**[16:14] Misuzu**
* But you're being just the right*
* kind of aggressive right now.*
**[16:22] Ogawa**
Gah!
**[16:23] Mifune**
What's wrong?
**[16:24] Ogawa**
Like, Aizawa Tomo and the
blonde boob chick are here!
**[16:27] Mifune**
F-For real?!
**[16:30] Carol**
Take that!
**[16:35] Mifune**
Whoa... She's pretty
impressive without clothes.
**[16:38] Ogawa**
I, like, wouldn't ever
want to stand beside her.
**[16:41] Misuzu**
You said it.
**[16:42] Ogawa**
Like, who are you?
**[16:44] Carol**
Jun-kun! Jun-kun!
**[16:49] Junichiro**
Don't get close to me!
**[17:02] Carol**
Was splashing around always that painful?
**[17:06] Misuzu**
Anything is a weapon in *her* hands.
**[17:09] Carol**
Anyway, why does Jun-kun keep running
away from Tomo-chan and me?
**[17:14] Carol**
He's fine around you.
**[17:16] Misuzu**
You don't actually know what
you just said, do you?
**[17:20] Misuzu**
It's this.
**[17:22] Carol**
Do you mean Jun-kun doesn't like boobs?
**[17:25] Misuzu**
No. The opposite.
**[17:29] Misuzu**
He's a pervert who loves big boobs.
**[17:33] Carol**
I don't get it.
**[17:39] Tomo**
Man, the beach really is fun!
**[17:41] Flirty Guy1**
Hey, you there!
**[17:44] Flirty Guy1**
You're a cutie!
**[17:45] Tomo**
A-Are you talking about me?
**[17:47] Flirty Guy1**
Yeah, you! I'm talking about you!
**[17:52] Tomo**
That's the first time a guy
I don't know ever said that to me!
**[17:55] Flirty Guy1**
Huh?
**[17:57] Tomo**
What did you see on me that made
you think that? Tell me in detail!
**[18:00] Flirty Guy1**
Okay, okay!
**[18:02] Flirty Guy1**
I'll tell you everything.
**[18:06] Flirty Guy1**
Around those big rocks over there...
**[18:08] Flirty Guy1**
Where we can take our time.
**[18:10] Tomo**
*Wait, I'm kinda... scared.*
**[18:13] Flirty Guy1**
C'mon, let's get moving.
**[18:16] Tomo**
H-Hang on!
**[18:17] Flirty Guy1**
Wow, you're strong!
**[18:19] Tomo**
*I wanna slug him into orbit right now!*
**[18:21] Flirty Guy1**
Hey, chill out.
**[18:23] Tomo**
*But I can't!*
**[18:25] Tomo**
*I don't think I could hold back!*
**[18:27] Flirty Guy1**
Are you being shy?
**[18:29] Flirty Guy1**
That's part of what makes you cu—
**[18:34] Tomo**
Huh?
**[18:35] Flirty Guy1**
Wh-Where did you come from?!
You her boyfriend?!
**[18:37] Junichiro**
Huh? No way.
**[18:40] Flirty Guy1**
Then why'd you get between us?!
**[18:42] Junichiro**
I don't really know why,
but you're just wrong.
**[18:46] Junichiro**
Don't touch Tomo with your filthy hands.
**[18:51] Tomo**
*I wish he'd say that one more time...*
**[18:54] Tomo**
*One more time... One more time...*
**[18:56] Junichiro**
Sorry. I shouldn't have butted in.
**[18:59] Tomo**
Huh?
**[19:00] Junichiro**
You wouldn't want people thinking
I'm your boyfriend, right?
**[19:04] Tomo**
*I wouldn't?!*
**[19:07] Tomo**
*What's wrong with this idiot?!*
**[19:08] Tomo**
* Does it bug him that much to have*
* people think we're a couple?!*
***SIGN*** Wouldn't

**[19:12] Carol**
Jun-kun! Help!

Jun?
**[19:20] Junichiro**
What are you doing? Let's go.
**[19:24] Carol**
Thanks!
**[19:25] Flirty Guy2**
Who the hell are you? Her boyfriend?
**[19:28] Carol**
My boyfriend, he said!
**[19:30] Junichiro**
Go ahead and think that if you want.
I can't be bothered with you.
**[19:33] Tomo**
*Wh-What?!*
**[19:36] Tomo**
He wouldn't want people thinking
he and I are a couple?
**[19:40] Tomo**
But *she's* fine?!
**[19:42] Misuzu**
Isn't that a good thing?
**[19:44] Tomo**
Like hell it is!
**[19:46] Misuzu**
If you really want to change
the way things are,
**[19:49] Misuzu**
today's your best chance to do it.
**[19:51] Tomo**
It is?! Wh-What should I do?!
**[19:54] Misuzu**
Get as close to Junichiro as you can,
**[19:57] Misuzu**
and always stay within his line of sight.
**[20:01] Tomo**
That's it?
**[20:02] Misuzu**
That's it.
***SIGN*** Soft Serve
**[20:06] Tomo**
Jun! I bought us soft serve!
**[20:09] Junichiro**
Really?
**[20:10] Tomo**
Yep! It's on me. Eat up!
**[20:13] Junichiro**
Thanks.
**[20:17] Tomo**
*Is this getting close enough?*
**[20:20] Tomo**
*Closer, maybe?*
**[20:24] Tomo**
*Is this really all I need to do?*
**[20:26] Tomo**
*He's not reacting at all.*
**[20:34] Junichiro**
*Tomo... What's gotten into you?*
**[20:39] Tomo**
Whoa! That's cold!
**[20:40] Junichiro**
Oh, sorry.
**[20:44] Tomo**
It's fine. I'm getting back
in the water later, anyway.
**[20:54] Tomo**
Huh? Something wrong?
**[20:56] Junichiro**
Uh... Nah, nothing.
**[21:00] Tomo**
Let's get in the water again!
**[21:03] Junichiro**
S-Sure...
**[21:08] Junichiro**
* Something's been a little*
* off with me lately.*
**[21:12] Junichiro**
* There were all kinds of things*
* I wanted to do with Tomo today,*
**[21:17] Junichiro**
*but every time she touches me...*
**[21:20] Junichiro**
*Every time she smiles at me...*
**[21:24] Junichiro**
*I suddenly can't move.*
**[21:40] Junichiro**
Why do you look so smug?
**[21:42] Misuzu**
You didn't seem like you were having
much fun at the beach today.
**[21:47] Misuzu**
Did something happen?
**[21:48] Junichiro**
Huh? No, not really...
**[21:51] Junichiro**
Actually, maybe something did happen.
**[21:56] Misuzu**
* I knew it. I'm still not sure*
* what it is he wants to do,*
**[22:01] Misuzu**
* but he doesn't see Tomo as*
* anything but a girl anymore.*

*I want to look cute to you*
**[22:23] ED**
*(crazy, crazy, drive me crazy, and that's…)*
**[22:25] ED**
* So I'm plotting, bargaining,*
* sly, and stubborn*
**[22:29] ED**
*Dizzying love*
**[22:34] ED**
*Just tell him to look at you*
**[22:38] ED**
* And watch him stiffen up even more,*
* because you're both so awkward*
**[22:43] ED**
*What? Even if we're alike in that way*
**[22:47] ED**
* It doesn't make me happy, 'cause it*
* means our love is going nowhere*
**[22:52] ED**
* Cloudy heart, swirling emotions—*
* I sense rain coming*
**[23:00] ED**

**[00:01] Carol**
Let's play the king game!
**[00:03] Tomo**
*Near the end of summer break,*
**[00:06] Tomo**
*Misuzu and Carol came to spend the night.*
**[00:09] Carol**
I'm the king.
**[00:11] Tomo**
Huh?
**[00:12] Misuzu**
And what's your order?
**[00:14] Carol**
Tomo-chan has to do an
impersonation of Misuzu-chan.
**[00:17] Tomo**
What?! I can't impersonate Misuzu!
**[00:20] Carol**
Okay, then I will.
**[00:21] Tomo**
Wait, why?!
**[00:23] Carol**
I'll slaughter you socially.
**[00:31] Misuzu**
I'm the king.
**[00:33] Tomo**
Yikes! Misuzu?!
**[00:34] Carol**
I'm scared.
**[00:36] Misuzu**
Okay, Tomo... You will go to the
fireworks show with Junichiro.
**[00:40] Tomo**
Huh?
***SIGN*** King
**[00:42] Misuzu**
Just the two of you this time.

**[01:07] OP**
*Parallel, zigzagging, awkward, incoherent*
**[01:12] OP**
*When you look my way and move closer to me*
**[01:17] OP**
*I know it doesn't mean the same thing for you*
**[01:22] OP**
*But I wish we could stay like this forever*
**[01:27] OP**
*My changing feelings are driving me crazy*
**[01:33] OP**
* The moment you turn to face me,*
* take that! Telepathy*
**[01:39] OP**
*If only we could feel the same thing*
**[01:44] OP**
*I want to kick this pesky subtlety away*

*I can't fool you forever*

"The Night of the Summer Festival."
**[02:21] Tomo**
D-Do you want to go see
the fireworks with me?
**[02:25] Junichiro**
The fireworks?
**[02:28] Junichiro**
Are those two gonna be with us again?
**[02:30] Tomo**
N-No! This time... just us two!
**[02:34] Tomo**
It'll be just us two.
**[02:36] Junichiro**
Just us, huh?
**[02:39] Junichiro**
Okay. Let's go.
**[02:41] Tomo**
*Huh? He doesn't seem that excited.*
**[02:45] Tomo**
*Normally, he's like...*
**[02:46] Junichiro**
Man, I can't wait for the fireworks!
**[02:53] Carol**
Should we really just let
things go on like this?
**[02:56] Misuzu**
Like what?
**[02:57] Carol**
The way Jun-kun and Tomo-chan are going,
**[03:00] Carol**
they could end up getting together
like a normal guy and girl.
**[03:04] Carol**
I was just wondering, would that
really be a good thing?
**[03:09] Misuzu**
Shut up.
**[03:13] Junichiro**
*Just me and Tomo seeing the fireworks, huh?*
**[03:17] Junichiro**
*I'm so happy. Like, more than I should be.*
**[03:21] (Flashback) Tomo**
I love you, Jun!
**[03:25] Junichiro**
* Nah... She didn't mean*
* it that way... I'm sure.*
**[03:30] Junichiro**
*Probably.*
**[03:35] Tomo**
*I feel like Jun's been acting weird lately.*
**[03:39] Tomo**
* When we went to the beach,*
* he didn't seem all that into it.*
**[03:44] Tomo**
*And just today... Could it be...*
**[03:47] Tomo**
Summer exhaustion?
**[03:49] Carol**
It's not.
**[03:53] Misuzu**
* When Tomo came to me to*
* tell me she loved Junichiro,*
**[03:57] Misuzu**
* I gave her a hackneyed response*
* without even thinking about it.*
**[04:01] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Then why don't you try being more feminine?
**[04:04] Misuzu**
* And then Tomo dedicated herself to*
* the idea way more than I expected.*
**[04:09] Misuzu**
* She even started showing interest*
* in more girlish leisure activities.*
**[04:14] Misuzu**
*Maybe I really was wrong, like Carol said...*
**[04:20] Misuzu**
* About what I should have said to*
* her back then as her best friend.*
**[04:26] Misuzu**
*But I have no intention of going back now.*
**[04:32] Misuzu**
* If I use him, Tomo and*
* I can do more... more...*
**[04:46] Misuzu**
Huh?
***SIGN*** The Day of the Fireworks Show
**[04:49] Jun's Mom**
Jun, you're going to see the
fireworks with Tomo-chan?
**[04:52] Junichiro**
Yeah.
**[04:54] Jun's Mom**
Good luck!
**[04:56] Junichiro**
Thanks.
**[04:58] Junichiro**
*I'm hyped, but also not.*
**[05:01] Junichiro**
*I'm happy, but also anxious.*
**[05:04] Junichiro**
* I'm gonna go figure out what*
* this annoying feeling is.*
**[05:10] Carol**
Misuzu-chan, let's go watch the fireworks.
**[05:14] Misuzu**
No.
**[05:15] Carol**
Aw, c'mon. Ko-chan's coming, too.
**[05:18] Misuzu**
Senpai's going? Then wouldn't
I be a third wheel?
**[05:22] Carol**
If it means you end up alone, I'm not going.
**[05:25] Carol**
Hmph.
**[05:26] Misuzu**
What's your deal?
**[05:34] Tomo**
Sorry, Jun! Were you waiting long?
**[05:40] Tomo**
Mom told me I should wear this...
**[05:45] Tomo**
and it took a while to put it on.
**[05:50] Tomo**
What's wrong? You okay?
**[05:52] Junichiro**
Sorry, I'm fi—
**[05:55] Junichiro**
Actually... maybe not quite.
**[05:58] Tomo**
Are you feeling sick?
***SIGN*** Goldfish Scooping
**[06:08] Junichiro**
I'm back again this year, old fart.
**[06:11] Vendor1**
Hey, Jun-bo. Tomo-chan's
not with you this year?
**[06:15] Tomo**
Did you forget what I look like?
**[06:20] Vendor1**
What?! *You're* Tomo-chan?!
**[06:23] Tomo**
Something wrong with that?
**[06:26] Vendor1**
I can't believe the stall-destroying
demon of the summer festival
**[06:29] Vendor1**
grew up to be such a beauty.
**[06:32] Vendor1**
Gotta save this moment.
**[06:34] Tomo**
Oh? Is that what you guys have
been calling me behind my back?
**[06:42] Vendor1**
*Calling all vendors! They're back!*
**[06:45] Vendor2**
Tomo-chan and Jun-bo?!
**[06:48] Vendor1**
*Try not to die of shock when you see this!*
***SIGN*** On my way with provisions
Roger!
Tomo and Jun-bo are here
**[06:50] Vendor3**
Wh-What?!
**[06:53] Vendor3**
Th-This is that out-of-control tomboy?!
**[06:56] Vendor3**
She looks like a gravure idol in a yukata!
**[06:59] Tomo**
I'll take one dish of ammo.
**[07:04] Vendor1**
*Yeah, but...*
**[07:06] ---**
1st Prize
**[07:07] Vendor1**
*She's still the same on the inside!*
**[07:10] Vendor3**
I wish you'd said that sooner.
**[07:16] Tomo**
That's my secret technique, the Triple Shot!
**[07:19] Misuzu**
You're holding hands so naturally.
**[07:22] Misaki**
Yeah. If I let go of her hand...
**[07:26] Misaki**
See?
**[07:30] Misaki**
I can get her back pretty quickly, though.
**[07:32] Misuzu**
You've got it rough, huh?
**[07:34] Carol**
That looks like you, Ko-chan.
**[07:37] Misaki**
What does?
**[07:39] Carol**
This is Ko-chan.
**[07:40] Misaki**
Uh... it is?
**[07:42] Carol**
This is Tomo-chan.
**[07:44] Misuzu**
She'll get mad at you.
**[07:46] Carol**
Misuzu-chan.
**[07:47] Misuzu**
*I'll* get mad at you.
**[07:48] Junichiro**
Take whichever one you want.
**[07:55] Tomo**
Hey, check it out, Jun!
These handcrafted candies are incredible!
**[07:59] Tomo**
Huh?
**[08:01] Flirty Guy1**
Who's Jun? Your boyfriend?
**[08:04] Tomo**
I-I don't have a boyfriend!
**[08:06] Flirty Guy2**
Oh, so you're free, huh?
**[08:09] Flirty Guy2**
Come hang out with us, then.
**[08:17] Flirty Guy1**
What the hell?
**[08:19] Flirty Guy1**
She *does* have a boyfriend.
**[08:24] Tomo**
Uh... Jun...
**[08:27] Tomo**
Thanks for helping me—
**[08:29] Jun**
Sorry.
**[08:30] Tomo**
Huh?
**[08:32] Junichiro**
I'm sure you could've
handled that by yourself.
**[08:36] Tomo**
Jun...
**[08:37] Junichiro**
I butted in again.
**[08:40] Tomo**
Would it...
**[08:41] Tomo**
Would it kill you to let me thank you?!
**[08:45] Tomo**
What the hell do you mean,
I could've handled it myself?!
**[08:49] Tomo**
I might be strong in a fight, but there
are some things I just can't do!
**[08:52] Junichiro**
S-Sorry...
**[08:54] Tomo**
Yeah, so... I'm gonna thank you now!
**[08:58] Tomo**
Listen good!
**[08:59] Junichiro**
S-Sure.
**[09:02] Tomo**
Thank you.
**[09:07] Tomo**
I'm really glad you were there for me.
**[09:12] Tomo**
Thanks.
**[09:24] Junichiro**
I think the fireworks are about to start.
**[09:27] Junichiro**
I know a great spot to watch from.
**[09:29] Tomo**
O-Okay...
**[09:32] Tomo**
*What... was that?*
**[09:41] Tomo**
*Something's definitely off about him today.*
**[09:46] Tomo**
*Is he... actually starting to notice me now?*
**[09:51] Tomo**
*If he is...*
**[09:53] Tomo**
* Maybe this time, I can get*
* my feelings across for real.*
**[09:59] Carol**
Welp, I bought it.
**[10:02] Carol**
Do I look cute?
**[10:03] Misuzu**
* I'm even more of a*
* third wheel than I thought.*
**[10:09] Misuzu**
Is that...
**[10:11] Carol**
I'm not letting you go anywhere.
**[10:13] Carol**
Let's go.
**[10:14] Carol**
*That's why she invited me along?*
**[10:17] Carol**
*This squishy bitch...*
**[10:23] Tomo**
* If I'm gonna tell him, I should*
* do it before the fireworks start.*
**[10:27] Tomo**
*Now's my only chance.*
**[10:29] Tomo**
Jun!
**[10:31] Tomo**
L-Listen...
**[10:33] Junichiro**
What?
**[10:36] Tomo**
* I feel like I can make him*
* understand this time.*
**[10:40] Tomo**
* And if that happens,*
* what we have now will end.*
**[10:43] Tomo**
* Our "now" will end,*
* and "something" will begin.*
**[10:48] Junichiro**
What is it?
**[10:50] Tomo**
*But what is "something"?*
**[10:53] Tomo**
*It's not like there's even anything I want.*
**[10:59] Tomo**
*I just wanted to make Jun my own.*
**[11:05] Tomo**
*Now isn't the time.*
**[11:08] Tomo**
*There's no chance for us right now.*
**[11:18] Tomo**
They're pretty, huh?
**[11:20] Junichiro**
Yeah.
**[11:29] Tomo**
That was a lot of fun!
**[11:30] Junichiro**
Yeah.
**[11:32] Junichiro**
* I still haven't figured out what*
* this feeling I have for Tomo is.*
**[11:38] Tomo**
Hey, Jun!
**[11:42] Tomo**
Let's do this again!
**[11:45] Junichiro**
*But I did figure out one thing.*
**[11:48] Junichiro**
*I can't...*
**[11:51] Junichiro**
* have a real punching match*
* with Tomo ever again.*
***SIGN*** The Distance

"The Distance Between Them."
**[12:03] Carol**
What's wrong, Tomo-chan?
**[12:06] Misuzu**
You're starting the new term
in unusually low spirits.
**[12:09] Misuzu**
Junichiro again?
**[12:10] Tomo**
Yeah.
**[12:12] Tomo**
I'm pretty sure Jun's starting
to be careful around me.
**[12:17] Misuzu**
Isn't that good?
**[12:18] Tomo**
No, the way he's doing it is just...
**[12:22] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Hey, Tomo. Mornin'.
**[12:27] Tomo**
*His pinky?!*
**[12:29] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Let's go to school.
**[12:31] Tomo**
Frankly, it's creepy!
**[12:33] Misuzu**
That's frank, all right.
**[12:38] Tomo**
Is that how it's always
gonna be from now on?
**[12:42] Tomo**
What am I gonna do?
**[12:46] Carol**
Things with Tomo-chan and
Jun-kun are starting to change.
**[12:49] Carol**
Just like you planned it, Misuzu-chan! Right?
**[12:53] Carol**
You don't seem very happy, though.
**[12:56] Misuzu**
Just shut up.
**[13:00] Misuzu**
*What is that squishy bitch trying to do?*
**[13:04] Misuzu**
* She doesn't seem like she wants*
* to get in the way, but...*
**[13:07] Misuzu**
*And Tomo...*
**[13:08] Misuzu**
* She's gonna have to grow*
* up one of these days.*
**[13:11] Misuzu**
*Same goes for Junichiro.*
**[13:14] Misuzu**
*So what's wrong with things changing now?*
**[13:18] Misuzu**
* To go from best friends with no*
* reservations around each other to lovers...*
**[13:23] Misuzu**
*If that happens to those two...*
**[13:26] Misuzu**
*I'll...*
**[13:29] Punk4**
Man, shit's been so dull for us lately.
**[13:32] Leader**
It's all because of that giant woman!
**[13:35] Leader**
We gotta get back at her somehow!
**[13:38] Leader**
That's...
**[13:40] Leader**
Not you!
**[13:50] Leader**
Yo.
**[13:51] Leader**
Got a sec?
**[13:53] Misuzu**
Don't touch me.
**[13:56] Leader**
What the hell is this weird intensity?!
**[13:59] Leader**
Hey!
**[14:02] Misuzu**
I know all of your faces now.
**[14:06] Carol**
Misuzu-chan, what're you doing?
**[14:09] Leader**
Is she another one of Aizawa's buddies?
**[14:13] Misuzu**
She has nothing to do with me or Tomo.
**[14:16] Misuzu**
She's just a classmate.
**[14:18] Leader**
Fine, then. Let's go.
**[14:21] Carol**
Wait!
**[14:22] Leader**
What? You want us to play with you, t—
**[14:33] Punk2**
You okay?! Hang in there, man!
**[14:35] Misuzu**
Move, now!
**[14:43] Misuzu**
What are you doing?
**[14:46] Leader**
Where the hell did they go?!
**[14:53] Punk3**
Over there!
**[15:01] Misuzu**
Well, what to do now?
**[15:07] Junichiro**
Yeah?
**[15:09] Misuzu**
*It's me.*
**[15:10] Junichiro**
Gundo?
**[15:12] Junichiro**
I don't remember giving you my number.
**[15:15] Misuzu**
*I'm in kind of a tight spot right now.*
**[15:17] Misuzu**
*Come help me.*
**[15:19] Misuzu**
I'm at the abandoned
factory near the school.
**[15:22] Misuzu**
Carol's here, too.
**[15:23] Misuzu**
*And don't tell Tomo.*
**[15:26] Junichiro**
I won't.
**[15:28] Tomo**
Hey, Jun!
**[15:30] Junichiro**
I'm gonna go ahead and leave.
I've got stuff to do.
**[15:32] Tomo**
What stuff?
**[15:35] Tomo**
Hang on.
**[15:36] Tomo**
Where are you going with that
bloodthirsty look on your face?
**[15:41] Junichiro**
*Damn it.*
**[15:44] Tomo**
Misuzu and Carol?!
**[15:46] Tomo**
That's really bad!
**[15:47] Junichiro**
Yeah, but I can take care of it by myself.
**[15:50] Tomo**
Screw that! I'm going, too!
**[15:52] Junichiro**
You think I'm that useless?
**[15:54] Tomo**
You idiot! It's not because
I don't have faith in you!
**[15:58] Tomo**
Those two are my friends!
**[16:00] Tomo**
I can't just let someone else go help
them while I wait around in safety!
**[16:07] Junichiro**
* Oh, yeah. That's the kind of*
* person my best friend is.*
**[16:13] Misaki**
Carol?
**[16:19] Misuzu**
Are you angry?
**[16:20] Misuzu**
Just so you know, it's not my
fault you fell on your face.
**[16:24] Carol**
Hmph.
**[16:25] Carol**
I don't talk to people
I have nothing to do with.
**[16:28] Misuzu**
Oh, *that's* why.
**[16:30] Misuzu**
I just said that
**[16:32] Misuzu**
because I thought things would be
even worse if you got involved, too.
**[16:36] Misuzu**
I mean, I do think of you as...
**[16:40] Misuzu**
something like a friend, after all.
**[16:44] Carol**
Misuzu-chan!
**[16:46] Carol**
I thought I might be able
to pull it off that time.
**[16:49] Misuzu**
It's not gonna be that easy.
**[16:51] Misuzu**
Also, you're filthy.
**[16:52] Leader**
Found you.
**[16:56] Leader**
I've been dying to see you.
**[17:04] Tomo**
Heya, Senpai.
**[17:07] Tomo**
I've been dying to see you.
**[17:09] Tomo**
Why don't we go somewhere
else and have some fun?
**[17:15] Carol**
I guess Tomo-chan showed up after all.
**[17:17] Misuzu**
That's just who she is.
I had a feeling she'd come.
**[17:20] Carol**
I love Tomo-chan for being like that.
**[17:24] Carol**
You don't, Misuzu-chan?
**[17:38] Tomo**
Damn it, Jun!
**[17:39] Tomo**
I told you, this is *my* fight!
**[17:43] Junichiro**
Yeah, yeah.
**[17:46] Misaki**
*I'll leave this two the two of them*
**[17:48] Misaki**
*and look for Carol and Gundo-san.*
**[17:51] Misuzu**
Come on, take those dirty
clothes off already.
**[17:54] Carol**
But it's cold.
**[17:57] Misaki**
There you are!
**[17:58] Misaki**
Caro—
**[18:00] Misuzu**
Misaki-senpai?
**[18:01] Carol**
Oh, it really is Ko-chan!
**[18:08] Tomo**
You're the only one left.
**[18:10] Junichiro**
It's about time you learned your lesson.
**[18:13] Leader**
Damn it!
**[18:16] Misaki**
Hey, you punks.
**[18:19] Misaki**
What did you do to Carol?!
**[18:23] Misaki**
Was it you?
**[18:24] Misaki**
Are you the one who did
indecent things to Carol?
**[18:28] Tomo**
Misaki-senpai? What's wrong?
**[18:30] Leader**
Wh-What are you talking about?!
**[18:32] Misaki**
Don't you play dumb with me!
**[18:34] Misaki**
She's such a sweet, pure girl, and you...
**[18:38] Misaki**
And you...!
**[18:41] Carol**
Ko-chan got angry for my sake!
**[18:45] Misuzu**
Just correct the misunderstanding
before someone dies.
**[18:49] Misaki**
You were just changing clothes?
**[18:51] Carol**
Yep, that's right.
**[18:54] Misaki**
How could I make such a stupid mistake?
**[18:58] Carol**
That made me happy, though. Thank you.
**[19:04] Misuzu**
Tomo, you can go on home.
**[19:06] Tomo**
What are you gonna do?
**[19:08] Misuzu**
There's something I need
to talk to him about.
**[19:12] Misuzu**
Don't worry. I'll be fine.
**[19:15] Tomo**
Yeah? Okay, then.
**[19:17] Junichiro**
You sure about this?
**[19:18] Tomo**
If Misuzu says she'll be fine, she'll be fine.
**[19:21] Tomo**
Let's go.
**[19:26] Leader**
What do you wanna talk about?
**[19:28] Leader**
Want me to play with you?
**[19:30] Misuzu**
Look at you, acting tough the moment
Tomo and Junichiro are gone.
**[19:33] Misuzu**
It's almost refreshing how weak you are.
**[19:36] Leader**
What?!
**[19:36] Misuzu**
But weak or not,
**[19:38] Misaki**
even a petty thug like you must
know about the Aizawa Dojo, right?
**[19:43] Leader**
All the bad guys around
here know about that!
**[19:47] Leader**
The legendary delinquent leader, Aizawa Goro,
**[19:50] Leader**
and his band of wack jobs who
want to change the world!
**[19:53] Misuzu**
Well, Tomo is his only daughter.
**[19:57] Leader**
P-Please forgive me! I had no idea!
**[20:00] Misuzu**
I heard you're gathering all the punks
in this area to start up a team.
**[20:04] Misuzu**
If any of your buddies or wannabe
gangsters mess with my friends again,
**[20:08] Misuzu**
I'll make sure you're the
one who pays for it.
**[20:12] Leader**
It's not like I can control them all!
**[20:14] Leader**
Do you know how many there are?!
**[20:16] Misuzu**
Whether you can or not, you'd better.
**[20:18] Misuzu**
Devote your entire body and
soul to protecting them.
**[20:21] Leader**
P-Protecting... who?
**[20:25] Misuzu**
My friends and me... and yourself.
**[20:36] Junichiro**
You're as ruthless as ever, I see.
**[20:40] Misuzu**
Oh, Junichiro. You're still here?
**[20:42] Junichiro**
You should've threatened them
*before* they came after you.
**[20:45] Misuzu**
It didn't occur to me.
**[20:47] Junichiro**
Liar.
**[20:48] Junichiro**
You ran to this particular
place on purpose, didn't you?
**[20:52] Misuzu**
He tried to mess with me and my friend.
**[20:56] Misuzu**
I wasn't going to let him
walk away unscathed.
**[21:00] Junichiro**
You...
**[21:01] Junichiro**
are not gonna die a pleasant death.
**[21:03] Misuzu**
I never expected a pleasant
death in the first place.
**[21:13] Misuzu**
Why did you bother waiting for me?
**[21:16] Junichiro**
Well, you *are* still a girl, you know.
**[21:19] Misuzu**
So is Tomo.
**[21:21] Junichiro**
Yeah, but...
**[21:23] Junichiro**
With her, it's not about
being a guy or a girl.
**[21:29] Misuzu**
I don't want to hear it.
**[21:31] Misuzu**
Not from you or that squishy bitch.
**[21:34] Junichiro**
Squishy?

**[21:38] Tomo**
*I really blew it yesterday.*
**[21:41] Tomo**
* I lost my cool and acted*
* like a savage again.*
**[21:45] Tomo**
* And just when he was starting*
* to notice me lately.*
**[21:49] Junichiro**
Morning, Tomo.
**[21:51] Tomo**
Jun...
**[21:52] Junichiro**
What's wrong? Let's go to school.
**[21:57] Tomo**
That's it, Jun! That's perfect!
**[22:00] Tomo**
That's *perfect*!
**[22:04] Junichiro**
What are you talking about?
**[22:06] Tomo**
That's *perfect*!
**[22:10] ED**
*(This suspicious behavior is...)*
**[22:14] ED**
*Hey, you know, I'm all mixed up*
**[22:18] ED**
*It's too complicated, I'm freaking out*

*I want to look cute to you*
**[22:23] ED**
*(crazy, crazy, drive me crazy, and that's…)*

**[22:29] ED**
*Dizzying love*
**[22:34] ED**
*Just tell him to look at you*

**[22:43] ED**
*What? Even if we're alike in that way*
**[22:47] ED**
* It doesn't make me happy, 'cause it*
* means our love is going nowhere*
**[22:52] ED**
* Cloudy heart, swirling emotions—*
* I sense rain coming*
**[23:00] ED**
* So I partly open my umbrella,*

* Please notice the curl of my*

**[23:14] ED**
*And don't say I'm acting weird*

*(Buzzing, fidgeting)*
**[23:30] ED**

*When I was in grade school,*
**[00:06] Misaki**
*I was a gloomy, sullen, unpleasant child.*
**[00:10] Misaki**
* And because of that,*
* I didn't have any friends.*
**[00:14] (Flashback) Misaki's Mom**
Ko-chan?
**[00:17] (Flashback) Misaki's Mom**
Your cousin, Carol-chan,
is here to play with you.
**[00:21] (Flashback) Misaki's Mom**
She's as pretty as a little angel!
**[00:23] (Flashback) Misaki**
Adults are always so quick to
describe little kids as "angels."
**[00:28] (Flashback) Misaki's Mom**
Oh, honey, do you have to be like that?
**[00:46] (Flashback) Carol**
Hello.
**[00:50] Misaki**
*She's...*
**[00:53] Misaki**
*an actual angel.*

"The Angel's True Face."
**[02:36] Misaki**
I-It's good to meet you!
**[02:38] Misaki**
I'm Misaki Kosuke!
**[02:40] Goro**
I admire your resolve to get stronger.
**[02:44] Misaki**
Thank you!
**[02:45] Junichiro**
He said he wanted to join the dojo,
but I didn't think he really would.
**[02:49] Goro**
But you are clearly...
**[02:53] Goro**
weak.
**[02:54] Misaki**
You think so, too?!
**[02:56] Goro**
No, wait.
**[02:58] Goro**
I see something more behind the weakness.
**[03:01] Misaki**
Wh-What is it?
**[03:07] Goro**
There's an evil spirit lurking in your soul.
**[03:10] Goro**
You had best be careful.
**[03:12] Misaki**
Oh...
**[03:14] Tomo**
*That's my dad for you.*
**[03:16] Tomo**
Senpai, we'll start with running!
**[03:18] Misaki**
Osu!
**[03:25] Tomo**
We're only going up and
down 200 little steps!
**[03:31] Tomo**
Next is strength training.
**[03:33] Tomo**
Three sets of fifty push-ups!
**[03:36] Goro**
You haven't pushed up once yet!
**[03:38] Tomo**
Senpai, you'll be having a match next!
**[03:41] Misaki**
R-Right now?!
**[03:43] Tomo**
"Train in extremes" is
our motto at this dojo.
**[03:47] Tomo**
Your opponent isn't gonna care
what kind of condition you're in.
**[03:52] Junichiro**
Your first opponent...
**[03:54] Junichiro**
will be me.
**[03:57] Misaki**
*My first battle with Jun-kun...*
**[04:00] Misaki**
*I want him to face me seriously.*
**[04:04] Misaki**
If I can beat you in this fight...
**[04:11] Misaki**
Do you think Aizawa-san will
actually acknowledge me a little?
**[04:18] Junichiro**
Who knows?
**[04:24] Misaki**
*This is Jun-kun's real strength!*
**[04:26] Misaki**
*He said Aizawa-san was stronger than him,*
**[04:29] Misaki**
*but there's no way!*
**[04:31] Misaki**
*He's overwhelming!*
**[04:37] Tomo**
*Jun looks like he's having a blast.*
**[04:40] Tomo**
*Nothing like when he's up against me.*
**[04:50] Junichiro**
Don't swing your arm out so wide.
**[04:52] Junichiro**
And don't think you can get by
on just the heat of the moment.
**[04:58] Junichiro**
If you want someone stronger
to acknowledge you,
**[05:01] Junichiro**
you gotta cough up the effort, layer upon
bloody layer, until you surpass them.
**[05:05] Junichiro**
There's no other way.
**[05:10] Misaki**
*I know I can't win,*
**[05:13] Misaki**
*but if I can at least get one hit in...*
**[05:23] Junichiro**
Oh, crap.
**[05:36] Misaki**
Where am I?
**[05:38] Tomo**
In my room.
**[05:39] Misaki**
What about practice?
**[05:41] Tomo**
It's already over.
**[05:43] Tomo**
I'm sorry!
**[05:44] Tomo**
Jun really doesn't know how to hold back.
**[05:47] Misaki**
I really am pathetic, aren't I?
**[05:49] Tomo**
Of course not!
**[05:51] Tomo**
Also... were you hoping to get
stronger for Carol's sake?
**[05:57] Misaki**
Wha?!
**[05:58] Misaki**
Well, th-that's, uh...
**[06:01] Misaki**
Yeah.
**[06:03] Misaki**
That's right, actually.
**[06:05] Tomo**
So I was right!
**[06:07] Misaki**
Given the way she is,
**[06:10] Misaki**
she's gotten herself into trouble a
ton of times since we were little.
**[06:14] Misaki**
That's why I wanted to get
stronger for her sake.
**[06:19] Misaki**
But I've never been able
to do anything at all.
**[06:23] Misaki**
Like this last time...
**[06:28] Misaki**
I'm just so...
**[06:30] Tomo**
I told you, Senpai, you're not pathetic!
**[06:35] Tomo**
Just because someone's better
than you at one thing
**[06:38] Tomo**
doesn't make it right to reject
everything about yourself!
**[06:41] Tomo**
You said that yourself!
**[06:45] Tomo**
Besides, no matter how much
you train up your body,
**[06:48] Tomo**
the things you can resolve with this
are things that don't even matter.
**[06:51] Tomo**
There are different kinds of strength.
**[07:02] Carol**
Ko-chan, you've seemed a
little more manly lately.
**[07:06] Misaki**
What? Really?
**[07:08] Carol**
Yeah.
**[07:09] Misaki**
I've actually been going to
Aizawa-san's family dojo.
**[07:13] Carol**
Huh?
**[07:14] Misaki**
Aizawa-san's dad is amazing!
**[07:17] Misaki**
Of course, that also makes
his practices tough...
**[07:20] Misaki**
But I want to become the kind
of man that she'll acknowledge!
**[07:26] Carol**
Ko-chan...
**[07:28] Carol**
How do you feel about Tomo-chan?
**[07:30] Misaki**
Huh? Why do you ask that?
**[07:33] Carol**
Just tell me.
**[07:35] Misaki**
I see Aizawa-san as... well...
**[07:38] Misaki**
a role model, I guess.
**[07:40] Misaki**
It's obvious that she's physically strong,
**[07:43] Misaki**
but she's more than just that.
**[07:45] Misaki**
She's someone I want to catch up to
**[07:47] Misaki**
and be good enough to
stand alongside someday.
**[07:51] Carol**
Huh...
**[07:57] Carol**
Jun-kun, Jun-kun.
**[08:00] Carol**
Want to hang out with me after school?
**[08:02] Junichiro**
Huh?
**[08:04] Junichiro**
I don't particularly want
to hang out with you, no.
**[08:08] Carol**
I don't either, particularly.
**[08:10] Junichiro**
Then why'd you ask?
**[08:14] Misuzu**
I heard you asking Junichiro
to hang out with you today.
**[08:17] Misuzu**
What are you planning?
**[08:19] Carol**
Oh, you saw that, huh?
**[08:20] Misuzu**
I don't know what you're up to,
**[08:23] Misuzu**
but all of your meddling—
**[08:25] Carol**
Hey, Misuzu-chan.
**[08:27] Carol**
Do you still think everything's
going to go your way?
**[08:35] Kid1**
All right! This way!
**[08:37] Kid2**
Wait up!
**[08:41] Junichiro**
Why did you want to come to the park?
**[08:44] Carol**
To watch people playing.
**[08:46] Junichiro**
Why would you just watch other people play?
**[08:49] Junichiro**
Go play with them.
**[08:51] Junichiro**
Tomo and Gundo would join you.
**[08:54] Carol**
I don't think things will
work like that anymore.
**[08:57] Junichiro**
Did something happen?
**[08:59] Carol**
I said something really mean to
Misuzu-chan at school today,
**[09:02] Carol**
and I'm doing something mean to Tomo now.
**[09:05] Carol**
I'm not...
**[09:07] Junichiro**
Don't take Tomo for a fool.
**[09:10] Junichiro**
I don't know what you did,
**[09:13] Junichiro**
but Tomo's not the type to give
up on a friend just like that.
**[09:19] Junichiro**
Okay, fine. You've got me for today.
**[09:24] Carol**
You'll play with me?
**[09:25] Junichiro**
Only a little.
**[09:31] Junichiro**
*Why?*
**[09:33] Junichiro**
*Why did* this *happen?*
**[09:34] Carol**
Wow, so this is your room, huh?
**[09:38] Junichiro**
Just leave now. Please.
**[09:40] Carol**
Nope.
**[09:42] Carol**
See, the thing is, there's someone I like,
**[09:46] Carol**
but it's just not panning out.
**[09:49] Junichiro**
What does that have to do with me?
**[09:52] Carol**
If it doesn't work out,
it's partially your fault.
**[09:55] Junichiro**
What? My fault?
**[09:58] Carol**
Yep.
**[09:59] Carol**
So I came here to take out
my frustrations on you.
**[10:02] Carol**
I'm gonna torture you
a little. Don't cry, okay?
**[10:05] Junichiro**
Who, me?
**[10:06] Carol**
Here I go.
**[10:07] Junichiro**
Have it your way.
**[10:09] Junichiro**
Go home once you get bored.
**[10:11] Carol**
Mwah.
**[10:12] Junichiro**
Wh-What the hell did you—
**[10:14] Carol**
Slam!
**[10:22] Carol**
Rawr.
**[10:24] Junichiro**
*Sh-She's scaring me!*
**[10:27] Junichiro**
Stop it!
**[10:31] Carol**
I won't do anything.
**[10:33] Carol**
Why are you so afraid of girls?
**[10:37] Carol**
You react like that to
Tomo-chan, too, don't you?
**[10:41] Carol**
Poor Tomo-chan.
**[10:43] Carol**
If you keep that up, you won't
get to be with her anymore.
**[10:58] Tomo**
Jun? Weren't you hanging
out with Carol today?
**[11:04] Tomo**
J-Jun?!
**[11:05] Junichiro**
Sorry.
**[11:09] Junichiro**
I just kinda... got hit with
an attack I wasn't expecting.
**[11:14] Tomo**
What the heck did this to
a guy as tough as you?
**[11:21] Junichiro**
*That blonde chick was right.*
**[11:23] Junichiro**
* But I still can't fully*
* accept that Tomo is a girl.*
**[11:28] Junichiro**
*And I bet it's because...*
**[11:30] Junichiro**
* We still haven't settled*
* that man-to-man score yet.*
**[11:35] Tomo**
What's wrong?
**[11:36] Tomo**
I'll help if you need it.
**[11:38] Junichiro**
Nah.
**[11:40] Junichiro**
It's not something that you can help with.
**[11:42] Junichiro**
I mean, we're talking about that—
**[11:44] Carol**
Hi.
**[11:48] Carol**
Jun-kun, Tomo-chan, I'm sorry.
**[11:50] Tomo**
Huh? O-Okay...
**[12:01] Carol**
I'm sorry about yesterday, Misuzu-chan.
**[12:04] Misuzu**
It's fine.
**[12:06] Misuzu**
But how did Senpai react to the news?
**[12:09] Carol**
Actually...
**[12:11] (Flashback) Carol**
I hung out with Jun-kun yesterday.
**[12:13] (Flashback) Carol**
Just the two of us.
**[12:14] (Flashback) Misaki**
Huh?
**[12:15] (Flashback) Carol**
We went to the park, and then
we hung out in his room.
**[12:19] (Flashback) Misaki**
R-Really?
**[12:22] (Flashback) Misaki**
Did you have a good time?
**[12:25] Carol**
Ko-chan made a really weird face.
**[12:28] Misuzu**
You're a frightening woman.
**[12:30] Misuzu**
There's no telling what you'd
do if left to your own devices.
**[12:33] Misuzu**
Maybe I should just get you
together with Senpai already.
**[12:36] Carol**
You can do that?
**[12:38] Carol**
You're amazing, Misuzu-chan!
**[12:40] Misuzu**
* I feel like she's going to*
* be the bigger problem.*
**[12:44] Misuzu**
* Carol, have you ever let Senpai*
* see you being serious?*
**[12:55] Misaki**
Gundo-san, what did you want to talk about?
**[12:58] Misuzu**
How do you feel about Carol?
**[13:02] Misaki**
Huh?!
**[13:03] Misaki**
H-How do I... I mean,
she's like a little sister to—
**[13:06] Misuzu**
You can drop that front now.
**[13:08] Misuzu**
You love her, don't you?
**[13:13] Misaki**
That's right. I love her.
**[13:17] Misuzu**
No kidding.
**[13:18] Misuzu**
Your murderous rampage at the
factory made that obvious.
**[13:22] Misaki**
H-Huh?
**[13:23] Misuzu**
And you know how she feels, don't you?
**[13:28] Misuzu**
Why won't you give her the answer she wants?
**[13:30] Misaki**
B-Because...
**[13:33] Misaki**
Carol is really strong, unlike me.
**[13:38] Misaki**
I've known her forever, but I've
never seen her in a weak state.
**[13:44] Misaki**
I thought I was drawn to her strength,
**[13:47] Misaki**
but once I started thinking about
having that kind of relationship,
**[13:50] Misaki**
I suddenly felt scared.
**[13:52] Misaki**
That whether I said something
to try to woo her
**[13:55] Misaki**
or pushed her away as coldly as I could,
**[13:57] Misaki**
she'd just accept it like it
was the most natural thing.
**[14:01] Misaki**
It's not that I want her to be hurt.
**[14:03] Misaki**
I don't, but...
**[14:06] Misuzu**
*He does have a point.*
**[14:08] Misaki**
Basically, no matter how much time goes by,
**[14:11] Misaki**
she's just so dazzling that
I can't look straight at her.
**[14:14] Misaki**
I really am a sad excuse
for a man, aren't I?
**[14:17] Misuzu**
What do you think of couples who keep saying
**[14:20] Misuzu**
that they're going to
break up, but never do?
**[14:23] Misaki**
Uh, I don't think it's very—
**[14:24] Misuzu**
I thought so.
**[14:26] Misuzu**
You wish they'd just disappear, don't you?
**[14:28] Misaki**
No, I wouldn't go that far.
**[14:30] Misuzu**
But I think a little bargaining
is necessary sometimes.
**[14:34] Misuzu**
She seems to do it on occasion herself.
**[14:37] Misaki**
What? Carol wouldn't do that!
**[14:39] Misuzu**
She would, and she is.
**[14:42] Misuzu**
You're probably too nice
to pull it off, though,
**[14:45] Misuzu**
so would you like me to do it?
**[14:47] Misaki**
Huh? Do what?
**[14:49] Misuzu**
You want to see her in a
vulnerable state, don't you?
**[14:52] Misaki**
What? When did we get to that point?
**[14:59] Carol**
Misuzu-chan, welcome back.
**[15:01] Carol**
You went to talk to Ko-chan, right?
**[15:04] Carol**
How did it go?
**[15:06] Misuzu**
*I'm sure she's going to hate me.*
**[15:09] Misuzu**
*I didn't expect this to weigh on me so much.*
**[15:11] Misuzu**
* But this is the only chance I'll*
* have to expose her real face.*
**[15:16] Misuzu**
Frankly, I don't think you have a chance.
**[15:18] Carol**
Oh, no.
**[15:21] Carol**
You mean—
**[15:22] Misuzu**
You get it, don't you?
**[15:24] Misuzu**
You know he doesn't even
think of you as a girl.
**[15:28] Misuzu**
I know you used Junichiro
to try to shake him up,
**[15:32] Misuzu**
but he probably just felt like a father
giving his daughter away to her groom.
**[15:37] Misuzu**
*I doubt that will even upset her at all.*
**[15:40] Misuzu**
*Please be at least a little upset...*
**[15:42] Carol**
Liar.
**[15:44] Tomo**
So when they do that, you do this, right?
**[15:47] Junichiro**
No, no! You gotta start up higher—
**[15:50] Tomo**
Hey, Carol! It's dangerous
to run in the hall.
**[15:59] Misuzu**
Misaki-senpai...
**[16:04] Misaki**
Gundo-san?!
**[16:07] Misuzu**
I told her she doesn't
have a chance with you.
**[16:11] Misaki**
What?!
**[16:12] Misuzu**
I'm sorry. I didn't think it
would affect her *that* much.
**[16:16] Misaki**
What are you saying?!
What happened to Carol?!
**[16:19] Misuzu**
You need to go to her house right now.
**[16:24] Misuzu**
You should at least... at the very least...
**[16:27] Misuzu**
see what she looks like right now.
**[16:37] Tomo**
Did Carol go home early because
of something you did?
**[16:43] Misuzu**
Tomo...
**[16:44] Misuzu**
Yes. It's because I was mean to her.
**[16:47] Misuzu**
So what?
**[16:49] Tomo**
You can drop the bad girl act.
Just explain what happened.
**[16:52] Tomo**
Why am I the only one out of the loop?
**[16:56] Misuzu**
You're not even going to admonish me?
**[16:58] Tomo**
Hah. Don't take me too lightly.
**[17:06] Misaki**
Um... I heard Carol came
home from school early...
**[17:14] Carol's Mom**
We'll call this one a draw
due to injury, Kosuke-kun.
**[17:18] Carol's Mom**
Come in.
**[17:24] Misaki**
Carol?
**[17:27] Misaki**
*She thinks I indirectly rejected her, right?*
**[17:31] Misaki**
* So will she still greet me with*
* a smile like she always does?*
**[17:37] Misaki**
I'm coming in.
**[17:43] Misaki**
Caro—
**[17:49] Misaki**
*I'm an absolute monster.*
**[17:58] Misaki**
*I couldn't see anything.*
**[18:00] Misaki**
*No... I never tried to see it.*
**[18:04] Misaki**
*She's not an angel, and she's not a goddess.*
**[18:08] Misaki**
*She's just a girl who gets lonely easily.*
**[18:12] Misaki**
I'm sorry, Caro—
**[18:16] Carol**
You jerk! Jerk! Why did you
come here?! Why are you here?!
**[18:19] Misaki**
Carol! Listen to me!
What Gundo-san said was a lie!
**[18:24] Carol**
It was?
**[18:25] Misaki**
Yes, it was! She said it to try to
get you in a vulnerable state!
**[18:31] Misaki**
Carol?
**[18:32] Carol**
Gundo!
**[18:36] Carol**
Misuzu-chan! That jerk! What's her deal?!
**[18:39] Misaki**
It's not like that! I think
she was trying to help me!
**[18:43] Carol**
Why would Misuzu-chan being
mean to me help you?
**[18:48] Misaki**
Huh?!
**[18:49] Misaki**
Er... well...
**[18:52] Carol**
Tell me.
**[18:53] Misaki**
Y-Yes, ma'am!
**[18:55] Misaki**
* Gundo-san made Carol*
* hate her instead of me.*
**[18:58] Misaki**
* And look at how much of herself*
* Carol is showing to me now.*
**[19:01] Misaki**
* I guess there's no way to run back*
* to being a coward at this point.*
**[19:08] Misaki**
Gundo-san was trying to give me a push,
**[19:11] Misaki**
so I could tell you how I feel.
**[19:15] Misaki**
I love you, Carol.
**[19:21] Misaki**
Sorry it took me so long.
**[19:28] Carol**
Banzai!
**[19:33] Carol**
You know what? You know what?
I love you too, Ko-chan!
**[19:37] Misaki**
Thanks! That makes me happy!
**[19:40] Misaki**
What was it that made you like me?
**[19:43] Carol**
Um... I never thought about it.
**[19:47] Misaki**
You didn't?!
**[19:48] Carol**
I mean, you've always been by my side,
**[19:52] Carol**
and you've always been kind to me.
**[19:55] Carol**
I don't know when or why
it happened anymore.
**[20:00] Carol**
I love you because I love you.
**[20:05] Carol**
Ah...
**[20:06] Misaki**
Wait, Carol! What are you doing?!
**[20:12] Carol's Mom**
That'll be all.
**[20:13] Carol**
Boo.
**[20:19] Carol's Mom**
The reason Carol-chan never stops smiling
**[20:22] Carol's Mom**
is because I told her that she
looks cuter when she smiles.
**[20:26] Misaki**
What?
**[20:28] Carol's Mom**
I said it when she was little to make
her feel better because she was crying,
**[20:32] Carol's Mom**
but she said...
**[20:35] (Flashback) Carol**
Okay!
**[20:37] Carol's Mom**
And from then on, she wouldn't cry anymore.
**[20:41] Carol's Mom**
I'm scared for her.
**[20:44] Carol's Mom**
As it is, they say love changes a person,
**[20:47] Carol's Mom**
but if you said anything like
that to her as her boyfriend,
**[20:49] Carol's Mom**
there's no telling how it might change her.
**[20:52] Carol's Mom**
It just worries me so much...
**[20:55] Misaki**
Well, I don't have any intention
of saying anything like that.
**[20:59] Misaki**
It'll be okay.
**[21:00] Misaki**
Carol has other important people in her
life now besides me and her family.
**[21:05] Misaki**
She has friends now.
**[21:07] Misaki**
I think she knows what it means
to be loved by those around her.
**[21:12] Misaki**
She wouldn't change just
because of something I said.
**[21:17] Carol's Mom**
That made me trust you a little bit more.
**[21:21] Carol's Mom**
About this much!
**[21:24] Misaki**
Looks like I've got a long road ahead.
**[21:27] Tomo**
Carol's late.
**[21:30] Tomo**
Is she not coming to school today?
**[21:32] Misuzu**
I wouldn't blame her.
**[21:34] Misuzu**
After what happened yesterday,
even she must be...
**[21:41] Carol**
Misuzu-chan.
**[21:44] Misaki**
Wh-What?
**[21:46] Tomo**
She's mad! You gotta apologize, Misuzu!
**[21:51] Carol**
Mwah.
**[21:53] Carol**
Thank you!
**[21:59] Tomo**
You lost this one, Misuzu!
**[22:01] Carol**
You lose!
**[22:03] Misuzu**
I have not lost.
**[22:06] Misuzu**
I swear...
**[22:10] ED**
*(This suspicious behavior is...)*
**[22:14] ED**
*Hey, you know, I'm all mixed up*
**[22:18] ED**
*It's too complicated, I'm freaking out*
**[22:23] ED**
*I want to look cute to you*
**[22:23] ED**
*(crazy, crazy, drive me crazy, and that's…)*
**[22:25] ED**
* So I'm plotting, bargaining,*
* sly, and stubborn*
**[22:29] ED**
*Dizzying love*
**[22:34] ED**
*Just tell him to look at you*
**[22:38] ED**
* And watch him stiffen up even more,*
* because you're both so awkward*
**[22:43] ED**
*What? Even if we're alike in that way*
**[22:47] ED**
* It doesn't make me happy, 'cause it*
* means our love is going nowhere*
**[22:52] ED**
* Cloudy heart, swirling emotions—*
* I sense rain coming*
**[23:00] ED**
* So I partly open my umbrella,*
* then sneakily scoot closer to you*
**[23:10] ED**
* Please notice the curl of my*
* eyelashes as I keep blinking*
**[23:13] ED**
*And don't say I'm acting weird*
**[23:18] ED**
* All this plotting and bargaining*
* is my sly plan to look cute to you*
**[23:22] ED**
* Try to solve the riddle of*
* this soft, dizzying love*
**[23:25] ED**
*(Buzzing, fidgeting)*
**[23:30] ED**
* Listen, I might be a bit*
* tangled in my own web now*
**[23:34] ED**
* But once you unravel the mystery,*
* you'll see pure lo-love*

**[00:00] Junichiro**
How're you feeling, Tomo?
**[00:02] Tomo**
Top of my game, obviously!
**[00:06] Tomo**
I've been through all the
training for this marathon!
**[00:09] Junichiro**
Me, too.
**[00:10] Junichiro**
I'm gonna win this one.
**[00:12] Tomo**
Oh, yeah? That's some big talk!
**[00:14] Junichiro**
How about the loser has to pay
for a week's worth of drinks?
**[00:18] Tomo**
Sounds good! I hope you
don't regret that later!
**[00:20] Carol**
The girls and boys aren't
even running the same route.
**[00:23] Misuzu**
Just leave them be.
**[00:25] Carol**
Hey, he's been trying to send us
some kind of signal this whole time.
**[00:31] Tanabe**
*Watch me, Misuzu-chan!*
**[00:33] Tanabe**
*I'll finish this marathon for you!*
**[00:36] Misuzu**
Just leave him be.
**[00:38] Hanao**
Everyone, on your marks!
**[00:55] Hanao**
Great. They're all full of energy for...
**[00:59] Hanao**
At least run at the very beginning!
**[01:02] Carol**
You heard her.
**[01:04] Misuzu**
Oh, fine.
***SIGN*** How the Contest Ends
**[01:15] Tomo**
"How the Contest Ends."
**[01:23] Tomo**
You haven't been enjoying karate
with me lately, have you?
**[01:28] Junichiro**
No, that's not...
**[01:30] Tomo**
It's okay. I get it.
**[01:32] Tomo**
But today, you're putting all your
strength into keeping up with me.
**[01:37] Junichiro**
Tomo...
**[01:38] Tomo**
But no matter how hard you run,
I'm gonna leave you behind in the end!
**[01:43] Tomo**
Don't cry, okay?
**[01:44] Junichiro**
Bring it on! You're the
one who better not cry!
**[01:52] Mifune**
Marathons are a total drag.
**[01:54] Ogawa**
I'm, like, so wiped!
**[01:56] Hanao**
Keep it up, everyone!
**[01:59] Mifune**
Hanao-chan's cheating!
**[02:01] Mifune**
Like, *so* not fair!
**[02:02] Hanao**
It's perfectly fair.
**[02:09] Hanao**
Wow, they've already made it this far?
**[02:12] Hanao**
Impressive!
**[02:14] Tomo**
I'm not letting...
**[02:16] Junichiro**
...anyone...
**[02:17] Tomo/Junichiro**
...run in front of me!
**[02:20] Hanao**
Why, though?! Why?!
**[02:22] Hanao**
Why?!
**[02:32] Junichiro**
*This really is fun!*
**[02:34] Junichiro**
* I still feel the best when*
* I'm competing with her!*
***SIGN*** Girls' Turning Point
**[02:43] Junichiro**
* Oh, yeah... I got so*
* excited, I didn't notice.*
**[02:47] Junichiro**
* We weren't competing on equal*
* footing to begin with...*
**[02:51] Junichiro**
*Huh?!*
**[02:53] Junichiro**
Hey, hang on, Tomo! You passed it!
You just passed it!
**[02:56] Tomo**
Huh? Passed what?
**[02:58] Junichiro**
The girls' turning point!
**[03:00] Tomo**
Hah! That don't mean squat!
**[03:02] Junichiro**
Huh?
**[03:03] Tomo**
You wanna compete with me, don't you?!
**[03:06] Junichiro**
Yeah...
**[03:08] Junichiro**
Yeah!
**[03:10] Misaki's Classmate1**
I'm impressed, Kosuke.
**[03:12] Misaki's Classmate1**
We're distance runners in the
track club, and look at you.
**[03:16] Misaki**
I'm feeling good today for some reason.
**[03:19] Misaki**
*I've gotten stronger! It's clear now!*
**[03:26] Misaki's Classmate1**
Those two made the turn already?
**[03:28] Misaki's Classmate2**
Damn, that's fast! Are they human?!
**[03:31] Misaki**
*I've got a long way to go.*
**[03:36] Junichiro**
*Damn it! I still can't catch up to Tomo?*
**[03:51] Junichiro**
Tomo?!
**[03:57] Junichiro**
You're burning up!
**[04:00] Junichiro**
How could you get knocked flat by a fever?
**[04:03] Junichiro**
Did you do something weird yesterday?!
**[04:06] Tomo**
Yesterday? Yesterday...
**[04:09] Tomo**
I went out to run right
after I finished dinner...
**[04:13] Tomo**
and I think I got back around 10 PM.
**[04:17] Junichiro**
How many hours did you run?!
**[04:19] Tomo**
After that... I took a bath and went to bed...
**[04:23] Tomo**
but when I woke up,
for some reason, I was naked.
**[04:27] Tomo**
I didn't do anything weird.
**[04:29] Junichiro**
Like hell you didn't!
No wonder you have a fever!
**[04:33] Junichiro**
Hey, Tomo!
**[04:35] Junichiro**
Damn it!
**[04:36] Junichiro**
*What now? I don't have my phone,*
**[04:39] Junichiro**
* and the teacher's with the*
* group a few kilometers back.*
**[04:41] Junichiro**
*No sign of any cars coming, either.*
**[04:44] Junichiro**
*What am I, dumb?!*
**[04:45] Junichiro**
*What's there to even think about?!*
**[04:47] Junichiro**
*I've got...*
**[04:50] Junichiro**
*this body...*
**[04:52] Junichiro**
*that I've been building up!*
**[05:04] Misuzu**
T-Tomo...
**[05:06] Misuzu**
Keep calm and listen to me.
**[05:08] Misuzu**
Y-You have a cold.
**[05:11] Tomo**
Okay. I think *you* need to calm down first.
**[05:16] Tomo**
I see. So Jun carried me back, huh?
**[05:20] Misuzu**
That's what I heard.
**[05:21] Tomo**
I put him through a lot of trouble.
**[05:24] Tomo**
And we were looking forward
to this marathon...
**[05:26] Misuzu**
But he finished first, apparently.
**[05:29] Tomo**
Huh?! But wasn't he carrying me?
**[05:32] Misuzu**
That's probably why.
**[05:37] Junichiro**
Tomo, should you be awake already?
**[05:40] Tomo**
Jun?!
**[05:41] Misuzu**
I'll be going now.
**[05:43] Misuzu**
You almost never get sick,
so take advantage of this.
**[05:47] Tomo**
Advantage?
**[05:48] Misuzu**
Since you're always so strong,
showing weakness will be effective.
**[05:52] Carol**
Depend on him for *everything*.
**[05:55] Misuzu**
Would you wake up already?
**[05:59] Junichiro**
Here's some water.
**[06:00] Tomo**
Oh... Thanks.
**[06:05] Tomo**
You and Misuzu are being nicer
to me than usual today.
**[06:08] Tomo**
It's throwing me off.
**[06:10] Junichiro**
You wouldn't know since you've
never been badly hurt or sick,
**[06:14] Junichiro**
but that's what happens when
you're too weak to even move.
**[06:18] Tomo**
That's how it is, huh?
**[06:20] Junichiro**
Akemi-san's coming to pick you up.
**[06:22] Junichiro**
Can you walk, Tomo?
**[06:24] Tomo**
Yeah...
**[06:25] Tomo**
Actually, no.
**[06:26] Tomo**
C-Carry me!
**[06:28] Junichiro**
Huh?!
**[06:29] Tomo**
You carried me here on your back, right?
**[06:33] Tomo**
I don't remember any of it, so do it again!
**[06:36] Junichiro**
That doesn't even make sense!
**[06:38] Tomo**
C-Carry me, damn it! I'm sick here!
**[06:41] Junichiro**
You seem healthy to me.
**[06:45] Junichiro**
Okay, fine.
**[06:49] Tomo**
Oh, so this is what it feels like.
**[06:53] Tomo**
You've gotten a lot bigger.
**[06:56] Junichiro**
So have you...
**[06:57] Tomo**
Me? I've what?
**[07:00] Junichiro**
Uh, sorry. Forget I said anything.
**[07:06] Tomo**
Sorry for everything that happened today.
**[07:08] Tomo**
I even ruined our contest.
**[07:11] Junichiro**
Don't worry about it.
**[07:12] Junichiro**
Whenever you're having trouble,
of course I'm gonna help you.
**[07:17] (Flashback) Tomo**
If you're having trouble with something,
of course I'm gonna help you.
**[07:21] Tomo**
Jun...
**[07:30] Goro**
Tomo!
**[07:35] Jun**
Her dad?!
**[07:37] Goro**
Where is Tomo?!
**[07:39] Junichiro**
In the car, heading for the hospital...
**[07:44] Goro**
Wait for me, Tomo!
**[07:46] Junichiro**
Green onions?
**[07:50] Tomo**
Hey, Jun! Thanks for coming!
**[07:52] Junichiro**
I came to check in on you, but...
I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
**[07:56] Tomo**
I'm totally fine now!
**[07:59] Tomo**
But Mom refuses to let me go outside.
**[08:01] Junichiro**
Obviously.
**[08:03] Tomo**
I forgot to say it with
everything going on, but...
**[08:06] Tomo**
I guess... Thanks for yesterday.
**[08:08] Junichiro**
S-Sure... But don't be so reckle—
**[08:12] Tomo**
Oh, yeah!
**[08:13] Tomo**
Here. I'm returning this.
**[08:19] Junichiro**
This...
**[08:21] (Flashback) Tomo**
How long can I borrow it?
**[08:23] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Until I'm a stronger man than you.
**[08:26] (Flashback) Junichiro**
When that time comes...
**[08:28] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I'll take it back!
**[08:29] Tomo**
You said you'd take it back when you
were a stronger man than me, right?
**[08:35] Tomo**
You'd better not have it in your head
that you can beat me in everything now.
**[08:40] Tomo**
I won't lose to anyone on my own turf!
**[08:44] Tomo**
But that goes for both of us.
**[08:48] Tomo**
Right?
**[08:49] Tomo**
You have a problem being
on even footing with me?
**[08:54] Junichiro**
Nah.
**[08:56] Junichiro**
It's the best way to be.
***SIGN*** To Stay Best Friends...

"To Stay Best Friends..."

**[09:05] Junichiro**
*Right before we started middle school,*
**[09:08] Junichiro**
*I managed...*
**[09:11] Junichiro**
*to land a hit on Tomo for the first time.*
**[09:13] (Flashback) Tomo**
Ow...
**[09:15] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I did it!
**[09:17] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I landed a hit on you! On *Tomo*!
**[09:19] (Flashback) Tomo**
Huh... I guess you finally caught up to me.
**[09:23] (Flashback) Tomo**
It's kinda sad.
**[09:24] Junichiro**
*Sad? Not frustrating?*
**[09:29] (Flashback) Goro**
That happened sooner than I expected.
**[09:31] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Huh?
**[09:32] (Flashback) Goro**
Akemi's been going on
about it for a long time.
**[09:35] (Flashback) Goro**
She always says Tomo's got natural talent,
**[09:38] (Flashback) Goro**
that no matter what sport Tomo plays,
no one else will stand a chance.
**[09:42] (Flashback) Goro**
But walking the path I walk,
**[09:44] (Flashback) Goro**
the path where one can't
choose one's own opponent,
**[09:46] (Flashback) Goro**
won't do our child any good.
**[09:49] Junichiro**
*What does that mean?*
***SIGN*** Entrance Ceremony
**[09:54] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I finally get to go to
the same school as Tomo!
**[09:57] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I bet he'll look awesome
in the school uniform!
**[10:01] (Flashback) Tomo**
Hey, Jun!
**[10:03] (Flashback) Tomo**
We can finally go to school together!
**[10:06] (Flashback) Junichiro**
You're getting a little too
crazy with that skirt!
**[10:09] (Flashback) Junichiro**
What kind of new start are you making?
**[10:11] (Flashback) Tomo**
Huh?!
**[10:12] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Huh?
**[10:14] (Flashback) Misuzu**
What? Junichiro thought you were a boy?
**[10:17] (Flashback) Tomo**
Yes, he did!
**[10:19] (Flashback) Misuzu**
I knew he was an idiot,
but I had no idea it went *that* far.
**[10:23] (Flashback) Misuzu**
So what are you going to do?
**[10:26] (Flashback) Misuzu**
You can't just act the same around
him as you always have, can you?
**[10:29] (Flashback) Tomo**
Nah, I think it'll be fine!
**[10:31] (Flashback) Tomo**
Neither of us cares about stuff
like who's a boy or a girl!
**[10:35] (Flashback) Misuzu**
I really don't think it'll be that simple.
**[10:41] Junichiro**
*Tomo's a girl.*
**[10:43] Junichiro**
*Now that I think about it...*
**[10:49] Junichiro**
*Who wouldn't have noticed?!*
**[10:51] Junichiro**
*Did I just not* want *to notice?*
**[10:54] Junichiro**
*I can't even laugh at this.*
**[10:56] (Flashback) Junichiro's Classmate**
Hey,
**[10:58] (Flashback) Junichiro's Classmate**
Kubota-kun.
**[10:59] (Flashback) Junichiro's Classmate**
You seem to be pretty close
to Aizawa-san in Class C.
**[11:02] (Flashback) Junichiro's Classmate**
You going out?
**[11:05] Junichiro**
*Right... Of course people would think that!*
**[11:13] Junichiro**
* I feel so awkward trying*
* to get Tomo's attention.*
**[11:16] (Flashback) Tomo's Classmate 1**
Hey, Aizawa-san, are you going out
with Kubota-kun from Class A?
**[11:21] (Flashback) Tomo**
No way!
**[11:23] (Flashback) Tomo's Classmate1**
Oh, you're not?
**[11:25] (Flashback) Tomo's Classmate2**
Really?
**[11:27] (Flashback) Tomo**
Yeah, he doesn't even see me as a girl.
**[11:34] (Flashback) Tomo's Guy Friend1**
And then this dude...
**[11:35] (Flashback) Tomo's Guy Friend2**
Don't talk about that!
**[11:38] (Flashback) Tomo**
So then what happened?
**[11:42] (Flashback) Tomo**
Hey, it's Jun!
**[11:44] (Flashback) Tomo's Guy Friend1**
Who?
**[11:45] (Flashback) Tomo's Guy Friend2**
Is he your friend?
**[11:46] (Flashback) Tomo**
Since we were kids.
**[11:48] (Flashback) Tomo**
Right, Jun?
**[11:54] (Flashback) Tomo's Guy Friend1**
Was that bloodlust emanating from him?
**[11:56] (Flashback) Tomo's Guy Friend2**
Scary...
**[12:00] Junichiro**
*What the heck am I doing?!*
**[12:04] Junichiro**
* A whole year went by,*
* and I never apologized to Tomo.*
**[12:07] Junichiro**
* We basically ended up on*
* the level of acquaintances*
**[12:11] Junichiro**
* who only talked to each other*
* when it was necessary.*
**[12:14] Junichiro**
* I really wanna just make*
* up with her already.*
**[12:17] Junichiro**
*But if her friends get the wrong idea again,*
**[12:20] Junichiro**
*it'll just make her feel bad.*
**[12:26] Tomo's Guy Friend1**
Tomo again?!
**[12:26] Misuzu**
* I thought that after we*
* started middle school,*
**[12:27] Tomo**
Yeah!
**[12:28] Misuzu**
*Tomo would start to calm down a little...*
**[12:31] Misuzu**
* but she still shows no*
* signs of slowing down.*
**[12:35] Misuzu**
*I can't play the games Tomo plays anymore.*
**[12:38] Misuzu**
*She just keeps getting stronger,*
**[12:41] Misuzu**
*and I don't want to just run around outside.*
**[12:44] Junichiro**
*What can I do to be friends with her again?*
**[12:47] Junichiro**
*Of course! I just need a girlfriend and—*
**[12:51] Junichiro**
*Nah, that wouldn't be fair to the girl.*
**[12:54] Junichiro**
* And it's not that easy to*
* get a girlfriend, anyway.*
**[12:58] Misuzu**
*If only there was someone else between us...*
**[13:01] Misuzu**
*Someone who could slow Tomo down a little,*
**[13:03] Misuzu**
*who's cautious and has common sense.*
**[13:06] Junichiro**
* On top of that, it'd have to*
* be a girl who could hang out*
**[13:09] Junichiro**
* with me and Tomo while fully*
* understanding my situation.*
**[13:25] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Does lunch taste good when you eat alone?
**[13:27] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Yeah. It just went from good to gross.
**[13:30] (Flashback) Misuzu**
You always seem to be alone.
**[13:33] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Why don't you try to make friends?
**[13:36] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I'm alone because I can't make
friends even when I try.
**[13:39] (Flashback) Misuzu**
That's a lie. You just don't want...
**[13:42] (Flashback) Misuzu**
to replace Tomo.
**[13:44] (Flashback) Misuzu**
If someone took her place,
**[13:47] (Flashback) Misuzu**
you might never get back the relationship
you used to have with her.
**[13:51] (Flashback) Misuzu**
That's your reasoning, isn't it?
**[13:54] (Flashback) Misuzu**
I'm pretty tired of seeing
your sulky face by now.
**[13:57] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Quit wallowing in self-pity,
**[13:59] (Flashback) Misuzu**
and just make up with Tomo already.
**[14:02] (Flashback) Misuzu**
I'm pretty sure she needs you, after all.
**[14:06] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Gundo!
**[14:10] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Gundo, would you...
maybe try going out with me?
**[14:21] (Flashback) Misuzu**
That sounds like fun.
**[14:24] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Hey... why did you agree to go out with me?
**[14:28] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Because I figured it couldn't hurt.
**[14:31] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Do you like me?
**[14:33] (Flashback) Misuzu**
As if.
**[14:35] (Flashback) Misuzu**
And I know it's not like
you love me, either.
**[14:38] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Well, no...
**[14:41] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I know I'm the one who asked,
**[14:43] (Flashback) Junichiro**
but is this how "going out"
is supposed to work?
**[14:45] (Flashback) Misuzu**
It's not a problem.
**[14:46] (Flashback) Misuzu**
In the end, what matters most if you
want to keep up a good relationship
**[14:51] (Flashback) Misuzu**
is whether or not it's in the
interest of both parties.
**[14:54] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Huh? Your... Your hand?!
**[15:03] Junichiro**
*It's so soft!*
**[15:08] (Flashback) Misuzu**
I changed my mind. Can we stop now?
**[15:11] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Your hand is all sweaty and gross.
**[15:17] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Well, I'm this way, so see ya.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Hold it, Junichiro.
**[15:23] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Something else you want?
**[15:25] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Yes. I want you to call me by
my given name from now on.
**[15:30] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Your given name?!
**[15:31] (Flashback) Misuzu**
If I'm using your given name,
but you're not using mine,
**[15:37] (Flashback) Misuzu**
will people believe we're going out?
**[15:39] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Wouldn't they?
**[15:40] (Flashback) Misuzu**
It'll just look like I have
a one-sided crush on you.
**[15:43] (Flashback) Misuzu**
I can't deal with that.
**[15:47] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I never thought Gundo would
actually become my girlfriend.
**[15:52] Junichiro**
*My girlfriend?*
**[15:54] Junichiro**
*That's right... I have a girlfriend now.*
**[15:57] Junichiro**
* And it's Gundo, the girl who argues*
* with me every time I see her.*
**[16:05] (Flashback) Junichiro**
She's... my girlfriend?
**[16:09] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Sheesh... This sure has taken a weird turn.
**[16:13] Misuzu**
*I know this is a relationship*
**[16:16] Misuzu**
* far removed from love and romance,*
* with no future at all...*
**[16:20] Misuzu**
*But I still feel just a bit...*
**[16:24] Misuzu**
*The good feelings ended there, though.*
**[16:27] Misuzu**
* Our first date was a bike*
* ride up a mountain.*
**[16:30] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Well?! Awesome view, right?!
**[16:34] (Flashback) Misuzu**
View?
**[16:35] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Are you a total moron?
**[16:37] Misuzu**
* The second day, we went*
* fishing at the river.*
**[16:40] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Put this on your hook.
**[16:42] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Ew! Keep that away from me!
**[16:44] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Ew! It's alive!
**[16:47] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Hey, Misuzu...
**[16:49] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Was today not much fun for you?
**[16:52] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Bingo.
**[16:54] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I see...
**[16:55] Misuzu**
* If I tried to spend time*
* with Tomo right now,*
**[16:58] Misuzu**
* I'd get exactly what I got from*
* these two days with Junichiro.*
**[17:03] (Flashback) Misuzu**
There's just no hope for me.
**[17:06] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Hey, what's wrong with you?
**[17:08] (Flashback) Misuzu**
I thought you might be able
to do something about this...
**[17:12] (Flashback) Misuzu**
But the way you are now, you're just
kicking her into higher gear.
**[17:18] (Flashback) Tomo**
Hey, what's wrong, Misuzu?
**[17:20] (Flashback) Tomo**
You seem really down.
**[17:22] (Flashback) Tomo**
Did something happen?
**[17:24] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Yes. A lot happened.
**[17:27] (Flashback) Misuzu**
I'm sorry. I...
**[17:30] (Flashback) Misuzu**
might not be able to keep being your friend.
**[17:34] (Flashback) Tomo**
Come on.
**[17:35] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Ow! Hey!
**[17:38] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Where are we going?
First period's about to start!
**[17:41] (Flashback) Tomo**
I don't care. Come with me.
**[17:45] (Flashback) Tomo**
What are you sulking about?
**[17:47] (Flashback) Tomo**
What do you mean, you can't
keep being my friend?
**[17:49] (Flashback) Tomo**
I'll knock you out!
**[17:50] (Flashback) Misuzu**
That's extortion.
**[17:52] (Flashback) Misuzu**
I mean, I have no physical strength at all,
**[17:55] (Flashback) Misuzu**
so I can't play sports with you or anything.
**[17:57] (Flashback) Tomo**
What does that matter?!
**[17:59] (Flashback) Tomo**
It's not like I'm running
around every single day!
**[18:02] (Flashback) Tomo**
Goofing around with the guys is fun,
**[18:05] (Flashback) Tomo**
but the time I spend just being next
to you is way more precious to me.
**[18:09] (Flashback) Tomo**
Are you saying you don't feel the same?
**[18:11] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Where do you learn things like that?
**[18:14] (Flashback) Tomo**
What? Did I say something weird?
**[18:17] (Flashback) Tomo**
Why would it matter that much
whether you're athletic or not?
**[18:21] (Flashback) Tomo**
I mean, like...
**[18:23] (Flashback) Tomo**
Oh, yeah!
**[18:24] (Flashback) Tomo**
Wouldn't it be cool for an athlete and
some kind of doctor to be friends?
**[18:31] (Flashback) Misuzu**
What's "some kind of doctor"
supposed to mean?
**[18:34] (Flashback) Tomo**
Don't laugh!
**[18:37] Misuzu**
* All the things I was thinking*
* seem so silly now.*
**[18:42] Misuzu**
* I guess going out with you*
* wasn't a total waste of time.*
**[18:46] Misuzu**
*So I'll at least...*
**[18:48] Misuzu**
*dump you soundly and completely.*
**[18:51] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Sorry, Misuzu.
**[18:53] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Huh?
**[18:54] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I know this sounds weird when I'm
the one who asked you out, but...
**[18:58] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I feel like maybe we're not
a good match after all.
**[19:01] (Flashback) Junichiro**
So let's just give up on going out, okay?
**[19:06] Misuzu**
*He... beat me to it!*
**[19:11] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Did you hear me? Hey, Misu—
**[19:13] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Never... call me "Misuzu" again.
**[19:16] (Flashback) Junichiro**
O-Okay.
**[19:19] Junichiro**
*I guess I'll have to handle this on my own.*
**[19:24] Junichiro**
* I'm scared to find out how she'll react*
* when I talk to her after all this time,*
**[19:28] Junichiro**
*but I'm prepared.*
**[19:30] (Flashback) Junichiro**
H-Hey, Tomo.
**[19:33] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I wanted to talk to you about something.
**[19:41] Junichiro**
*I know I should be the one to talk first.*
**[19:46] Junichiro**
*But what do I...*
**[19:47] (Flashback) Tomo**
Hey. Hey, Jun.
**[19:50] Junichiro**
*Can I just tell her how I really feel?*
**[19:53] Junichiro**
*But if I tell her that...*
**[19:54] (Flashback) Tomo**
I just said your name.
**[19:56] (Flashback) Tomo**
Answer me, damn it!
**[20:01] (Flashback) Junichiro**
**[20:02] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Where did that come f—
**[20:04] (Flashback) Tomo**
Why did you just come up and
talk to me out of the blue?
**[20:10] (Flashback) Tomo**
After you avoided me all this time...
**[20:13] (Flashback) Tomo**
For a whole year...
**[20:16] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I-I'm sorry!
**[20:18] (Flashback) Junichiro**
It was my fault! Please don't cry!
**[20:21] (Flashback) Tomo**
Huh?
**[20:22] (Flashback) Tomo**
I'm not crying, you dumbass!
**[20:28] (Flashback) Tomo**
Why the hell were you avoiding
me all this time? Huh?!
**[20:33] (Flashback) Junichiro**
When the school year first started,
**[20:35] (Flashback) Junichiro**
people thought you and
I were... well... going out.
**[20:40] (Flashback) Junichiro**
So I thought being around me would
just make things harder for you.
**[20:44] (Flashback) Tomo**
You were worried about
something that stupid?!
**[20:47] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Huh?
**[20:48] (Flashback) Tomo**
If you and I both wanna be
together like we've always been,
**[20:51] (Flashback) Tomo**
who the hell cares what anyone else thinks?!
**[20:56] (Flashback) Tomo**
Well? What do *you* wanna do?
**[20:59] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I want...
**[21:02] (Flashback) Junichiro**
to be with you. Just like we always have...
**[21:06] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I wanna be like that forever!
**[21:12] (Flashback) Tomo**
S-So just be with me, then!
**[21:15] (Flashback) Tomo**
As f-friends!
**[21:17] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Yeah! You and I are best buds forever!
**[21:21] (Flashback) Junichiro**
So let's have a lot more
good times together,
**[21:23] (Flashback) Junichiro**
Tomo!
**[21:27] Junichiro**
*I thought we'd never change.*
**[21:32] Junichiro**
*I thought it'd be best if we never changed.*
**[21:35] Junichiro**
*But then* I *changed.*
**[21:38] Junichiro**
*I think she has, too.*
**[21:41] Junichiro**
* So I have to think of a way*
* I can still be with her forever.*
**[21:47] Junichiro**
*First of all, I have to face her head-on.*
**[21:50] Tomo**
What's the hold-up, Jun?
**[21:52] Tomo**
C'mon, we gotta get to school!
**[21:55] Junichiro**
*Face who Tomo is now head-on...*
**[21:58] Junichiro**
*Head-on...*
**[22:01] Junichiro**
*I had a vague hunch it might be true,*
**[22:04] Junichiro**
*but isn't she actually...*
**[22:06] Junichiro**
*really cute?!*
**[22:10] ---**
*(This behavior is suspicious)*
**[22:14] ---**
*Hey, you know, I'm all mixed up*
**[22:18] ---**

**[22:23] ---**
* I can't figure out how to*

**[22:23] ---**
*(crazy, crazy, drive me crazy, and that's...)*

**[00:03] Misuzu**
You? Working?
**[00:06] Tomo**
Yeah. Jun's birthday's coming up, you know?
**[00:09] Tomo**
I want to give him a present,
but I don't have any money.
**[00:13] Misuzu**
Do you know what kinds of jobs high
school kids are allowed to do?
**[00:18] Tomo**
O-Of course I do!
**[00:20] Tomo**
The ones where you say, like,
"Welcome!" and stuff...
**[00:24] Tomo**
They call it the service industry, right?
**[00:26] Misuzu**
Even if you don't like how your boss or
the customers look, you can't punch them.
**[00:31] Tomo**
How about I punch *you* first?
**[00:35] Misuzu**
I guess I have no choice.
**[00:36] Tomo**
Huh?
**[00:37] Misuzu**
The idea of sending you off
to work alone worries me,
**[00:40] Misuzu**
so I'll work with you.
**[00:42] Tomo**
Really?!
**[00:43] Tomo**
Thanks! That makes me feel a lot better!
**[00:46] Carol**
Let me in on it, too.
**[00:49] Tomo**
Oh, you wanna work part-time, too?
**[00:51] Carol**
I do!
**[00:53] Tanabe**
Wait, what? You wanna work part-time?
**[00:56] Tanabe**
Then why don't all of you...
**[00:59] Tanabe**
work at my place?

I'm his dad, Tatsuro.
**[02:44] Tatsuro**
Glad to have you on board.
**[02:46] Tomo**
H-Hello!
**[02:48] Misuzu**
Thank you for letting us work here.
**[02:49] Carol**
Thanks!
**[02:50] Tatsuro**
Boy, you have no idea how much
I appreciate you doing this.
**[02:53] Tatsuro**
My wife and I were running
this restaurant on our own,
**[02:58] Tatsuro**
but just recently, she...
**[03:02] Tatsuro**
went home to visit her family!
**[03:05] Tatsuro**
Come back to me, Kiyomi!
**[03:09] Tanabe**
Don't mind him. This happens all the time.
**[03:15] Tomo**
Hey...
**[03:17] Tomo**
Do I really have to work in this?
**[03:19] Carol**
Yay! It's cute!
**[03:22] Carol**
I'm so glad I got those in case
we ever got any female help!
**[03:26] Tomo**
This was your idea?!
**[03:27] Tomo**
These don't look much like
ramen shop uniforms!
**[03:30] Tatsuro**
In that case, I'm okay with not
being a ramen shop anymore.
**[03:33] Tomo**
Come on, boss!
**[03:34] Misuzu**
That's the uniform.
What other choice is there?
***SIGN*** God Ramen Tatsumi
**[03:37] Misuzu**
Just shut up and wear it.
**[03:38] Tomo**
So why aren't *you* wearing it?!
***SIGN*** God Ramen Tatsumi
**[03:44] Tatsuro**
Okay, we're open!
**[03:46] Tanabe**
We got a customer! Welcome!
**[03:50] Tomo**
Uh... Wel...co...
**[03:53] Misuzu**
Welcome.
**[03:55] Misuzu**
Will this seat at the counter be all right?
**[03:57] Guy Customer1**
Uh, sure.
**[04:00] Carol**
Hi there. Whatcha wanna eat?
**[04:03] Woman Customer1**
Huh? Uh...
**[04:05] Woman Customer1**
What would you recommend?
**[04:07] Carol**
Recommend?
**[04:09] Woman Customer1**
Yeah. What do you think tastes the best?
**[04:11] Carol**
Oh! Well, I like cake.
**[04:15] Woman Customer1**
Huh? You have that here?

I'm afraid not.

Hey, Tomo-chan...

What noise do pandas make?
**[04:31] Tomo**
Huh? They're like bears,

Roar!

Thank you for your patronage.

When we're working side by side like this,

it almost feels like you

**[04:52] Misuzu**
I'm sorry. I didn't quite catch that.
Could you say it again?
**[04:56] Tanabe**
I said it feels like you
married into my family.
**[05:00] Misuzu**
One more time.
**[05:02] Tanabe**
It... It feels like you...
**[05:04] Misuzu**
Can you still say that?

S-Sorry.

Miso ramen with a side of gyoza, please.

**[05:25] Tanabe**
Hey, Kubojun! Good to see you again!
**[05:27] Junichiro**
Hey, Tanabe... What's going on here?
**[05:30] Junichiro**
There was one outside, too.
**[05:32] Tanabe**
Well, actually...
**[05:34] Misuzu**
Welcome.
**[05:36] Misuzu**
Allow me to show you to your seat.
**[05:38] Junichiro**
You're... Gundo, right?
**[05:41] Misuzu**
You would forget the face
of a childhood friend?
**[05:44] Misuzu**
Forgive my rudeness, sir,
but are you a chicken or something?
**[05:47] Misuzu**
Right this way. Your seat is over here.
**[05:50] Junichiro**
Yep, that's Gundo.
**[05:52] Tomo**
Hey, Tanabe! What did you mean by "again"?
**[05:56] Tomo**
Does he come here that often?!
**[05:57] Tanabe**
Y-Yeah, once a week or so.
**[06:00] Tomo**
Why didn't you tell me sooner?!
I'll throttle you!
**[06:04] Tanabe**
Uh, sorry...
**[06:05] Misuzu**
Well? What do you think of
Tomo in her waitress uniform?
**[06:10] Junichiro**
I was surprised, but...
I mean... I guess it's nice.
**[06:14] Misuzu**
"I guess it's nice"?
What do you think that means?
**[06:18] Carol**
I think that means it's fine.
**[06:20] Tomo**
Here's your char siu ramen.
**[06:23] Junichiro**
Thanks...
**[06:24] Tomo**
Go on and laugh if you want.
**[06:26] Junichiro**
Huh?
**[06:28] Tomo**
I mean, I look ridiculous in this, don't I?
**[06:32] Junichiro**
No, I... don't think it looks bad at all.
**[06:38] Tomo**
"Not bad"? What do you think that means?
**[06:41] Carol**
I think that means it's fine.
**[06:44] Junichiro**
Great meal.
**[06:45] Tomo**
Th-Thank you very much. Please come again.
**[06:49] Junichiro**
This feels kinda weird, huh?
**[06:52] Junichiro**
How long are you gonna keep working here?
**[06:54] Tomo**
Huh? Just until the end of the long weekend.
**[06:57] Junichiro**
Okay, I'll come back tomorrow,
then. Keep it up.
**[07:07] Carol**
I brought some customers.

**[07:32] Tomo**
Boss... Thanks for everything!
**[07:35] Carol**
Yay! Money!
**[07:37] Tomo**
Isn't this more than you promised us?
**[07:39] Tatsuro**
Since you all worked so hard,
I added a bit extra.
**[07:43] Misuzu**
I think that was to be expected,
given that we produced results.
**[07:45] Tatsuro**
R-Right...
**[07:48] Tomo**
*Did she squeeze it out of him?*
**[07:49] Tomo**
Will the shop be okay without us?
**[07:52] Tanabe**
Don't worry! It's about time for Mom to
make her periodic trip back here, anyway.
**[07:57] Tatsuro**
If I'm being honest, I'd love to
have you keep working here...
**[08:01] Misuzu**
We'd be glad to come back and
help you out occasionally.
**[08:04] Tatsuro**
What? Really?!

There aren't many employers that

**[08:24] Misuzu**
Well, Tomo, see you at school.
**[08:27] Tomo**
Yep!
**[08:28] Carol**
I'll walk home with Misuzu-chan.
**[08:30] Misuzu**
Not so close.
**[08:33] Tomo**
You actually came to the restaurant
every day of our break.
**[08:37] Tomo**
You that bored?
**[08:39] Junichiro**
I went because you were there.
**[08:44] Junichiro**
I figured if you went on some wild rampage,
**[08:46] Junichiro**
they'd need someone around
who could stop you.
**[08:49] Tomo**
Huh?! What do you think I am, exactly?!
**[08:51] Junichiro**
Besides...
**[08:53] Junichiro**
I've eaten their ramen tons of times,
**[08:56] Junichiro**
but for some reason, it seemed to taste
better when you brought it to me.
**[09:01] Junichiro**
So... you know...
**[09:04] Junichiro**
Good job.
**[09:05] Tomo**
Th-Thanks.
**[09:14] Junichiro**
I can really have this?!
**[09:16] Tomo**
Yep. It's your birthday present.
**[09:19] Tomo**
It's just a cheap one, though.
**[09:21] Junichiro**
That's totally fine! It's great!
**[09:23] Tomo**
Incidentally, I wear the same one.
**[09:27] Tomo**
That doesn't bother you, does it?
**[09:28] Junichiro**
Of course it doesn't bother me!
**[09:30] Junichiro**
As long as it's you, I wouldn't
mind matching from head to toe!
**[09:32] Tomo**
H-Head to toe?!
**[09:34] Junichiro**
I mean, that'd be cool, right?
Like we're a team!
**[09:37] Tomo**
Oh... Right, a team.
**[09:41] Tomo**
*It hasn't been like this in so long.*
**[09:43] Tomo**
* I thought he'd changed recently,*
* but I guess Jun is still Jun.*
**[09:48] Tomo**
I bought cake, too.
**[09:49] Tomo**
Wanna have a birthday party at your place?
**[09:53] Junichiro**
My mom's... gonna be home late tonight.
**[09:57] Tomo**
Huh? Oh...
**[09:59] Junichiro**
S-So if we're having a party,
can it be at your place?

I figure if I'm gonna push, now's the time!
**[10:30] Tomo**
Got any ideas that'll work quick?
**[10:33] Misuzu**
Let him touch your chest?
**[10:34] Tomo**
Huh?
**[10:35] Tomo**
Wh-What the hell are you saying?!
**[10:38] Misuzu**
The chest would be too much,
**[10:39] Misuzu**
but sharing bodily contact is the
quickest way to move forward.
**[10:43] Tomo**
Sharing contact? But it's
not that easy to just...
**[10:46] Misuzu**
Don't worry. I have a plan.
**[10:50] Tomo**
You do?
**[10:51] Misuzu**
Yes. All you have to do is stand facing him.
**[10:55] Misuzu**
Then I'll...
**[10:57] Misuzu**
push him into you from behind.
**[11:00] Tomo**
What's with you today?
**[11:02] Misuzu**
A regular push probably won't
be enough to even budge him,
**[11:05] Misuzu**
so I'll push him down from here.
**[11:07] Tomo**
That's dangerous!
**[11:09] Misuzu**
It's fine as long as you catch him.
**[11:11] Tomo**
That's not the issue here!
**[11:14] Misuzu**
Ah, I get it.
**[11:15] Misuzu**
You don't feel confident
that you could catch him.

**[11:40] Tomo**
Bring it on!

Huh? Bring what on? What are you—

Ooh. Bad Jun-kun.
**[12:19] Junichiro**
Sorry! It wasn't on purpose!
**[12:21] Junichiro**
Let me make it up to you!
If there's anything I can do, name it!
**[12:25] Carol**
Aw, that's okay, really.
**[12:27] Junichiro**
It is *not* okay! Treat yourself better!
In various ways!
**[12:32] Carol**
Then...
**[12:35] Junichiro**
Tomo, do it! Don't hold back!

Are you sure? None of this was your fault.

but you're showing concern for me?!
**[13:25] Tanabe**
Oh, no! Did you hit your head?!
**[13:27] Misuzu**
I'm fine.
**[13:29] Misuzu**
You saved me by cushioning my fall.
**[13:33] Misuzu**
Should I do something to thank you?
**[13:35] Tanabe**
That's not necessary!
**[13:36] Misuzu**
You don't need to hold back.
**[13:39] Misuzu**
Right now... I just feel
a pressing need to atone.

*I don't quite get it, but...*
**[13:45] Tanabe**
*A chance like this doesn't come every day!*
**[13:47] Tanabe**
*What should I ask her to do, though?*
**[13:50] Tanabe**
* How far can I go? Should I just*
* push as far as I dare? Or...*
**[13:53] Tanabe**
*Oh, crap!*
**[13:55] Tanabe**
* I thought about it too long!*
* She's almost back to her usual self!*
**[13:58] Tanabe**
I-I'd really like to... swap contact info!
**[14:03] Misuzu**
Okay, then. I got off a lot
easier than I expected.

It seems I don't want Tomo and
Junichiro to get together.
**[14:21] Carol**
Huh?
**[14:23] Misuzu**
All this time, all I've

I don't think you're as

**[14:37] Carol**
Get off me.
**[14:38] Carol**
Even now, I still can't get away with it?
**[14:47] Tomo**
Misuzu's pretty late.
**[14:49] Tomo**
Did she oversleep?
**[14:51] Carol**
She said she was staying home sick today.
**[14:54] Tomo**
I didn't know about that.
**[14:56] Tomo**
How did you find out?

What a beautiful lady you are.
**[18:44] Tomo**
Would you dance with me?
**[18:48] Tomo**
See? That's no good at all!
**[18:51] Misuzu**
It's perfect, you lady-killer.
**[18:54] Tomo**
You're so lucky. You and
Carol make great princesses.
**[18:59] Misuzu**
Hardly. This isn't my kind of thing, either.
**[19:02] Tomo**
I wouldn't say I wish I could
be a princess or anything,
**[19:06] Tomo**
but if I'm the type to play a prince,
no one's ever gonna see me as a girl.
**[19:12] Misuzu**
I don't see why there couldn't
be princesses like you.
**[19:16] Tomo**
Huh?
**[19:17] Misuzu**
Having you play Cinderella might
be a bit too much to ask, but...
**[19:21] Misuzu**
You could be a bandit princess.
**[19:24] Tomo**
How about I rob *you* blind?
**[19:26] Tomo**
Well, we should be heading back.
**[19:29] Misuzu**
Right.
**[19:30] Misuzu**
* Tomo says she wants to*
* go out with Junichiro,*
**[19:34] Misuzu**
* but she's convinced herself that*
* she's not worthy of that right now.*
**[19:38] Misuzu**
*And it's all because...*
**[19:41] (Flashback) Misuzu**
Then why not act more like a girl?
**[19:44] Misuzu**
*I put that curse on Tomo.*
**[19:47] Misuzu**
*Now I have to undo it.*
**[19:49] Misuzu**
*There's no one else who can.*
**[19:59] Carol**
Tomo-chan, you look so handsome!
**[20:02] Tomo**
Really? This is kinda embarrassing...
**[20:09] Girl3**
Th-The binder busted loose!
**[20:11] Girl4**
We need to wrap her tighter!
**[20:17] Noda**
Wow...
**[20:19] Fukaya**
She's a princess...
**[20:21] Girl3**
Aizawa-san, you've got a knack for this!
**[20:23] Tomo**
R-Really?
**[20:24] Tominaga**
That dress looks great on you, Olston-san.
**[20:27] Carol**
Thanks!
**[20:28] Tominaga**
Hey, can I call you "Carol-chan"?
**[20:31] Carol**
Sure!
**[20:32] Matsumura**
Oh! Then I will, too!
**[20:35] Misuzu**
*Everyone else is moving forward,*
**[20:38] Misuzu**
*yet only I'm still...*
**[20:40] Junichiro**
Something bothering you?
**[20:42] Junichiro**
Since it's you, I'm guessing it's about Tomo?
**[20:45] Misuzu**
Mind your own business.
**[20:47] Junichiro**
I bet you're only thinking of roundabout
ways to deal with it, right?
**[20:50] Junichiro**
Why don't you try facing
her head-on for once?
**[20:56] Junichiro**
Damn it! I can't get up!
**[20:59] Misuzu**
You're the last person
I want to hear that from.
**[21:03] Junichiro**
All the prep's on track. Now we just
wait for the festival to start.
**[21:08] Tomo**
You're so laid-back about this.
**[21:10] Tomo**
I've got nothing but stress.
**[21:13] Tomo**
If you've got nothing to do,
help me practice my lines.
**[21:15] Junichiro**
No way. Cinderella's basically
the only character you talk to.
**[21:21] Tomo**
*Jun as... Cinderella?*
**[21:25] Tomo**
Wh-What's wrong with that?
**[21:27] Tomo**
Just do it! It doesn't bother me!
**[21:30] Junichiro**
Yeah, it might not bother *you*, but...
**[21:33] Tomo**
Wait! Please, wait!
**[21:36] Tomo**
I want to know more about you!
**[21:38] Junichiro**
I-I'm very sorry, Your Highness.
**[21:42] Junichiro**
I have to g-g-go now.
**[21:46] Junichiro**
F-Farewell.
**[21:48] Tomo**
Please don't go!
**[21:50] Junichiro**
Look, can we please stop now?
**[21:53] Tomo**
*This is kinda fun!*
**[21:55] Tomo**
Help me out a little more!
**[21:57] Junichiro**
Huh?!
**[21:58] Tomo**
Please don't go, Cinderella!
**[22:01] Junichiro**
I-I can't stay!
**[22:03] Junichiro**
Please remove your hand, Your Highness!

*(This suspicious behavior is...)*
**[22:14] ED**
*Hey, you know, I'm all mixed up*
**[22:18] ED**
*It's too complicated, I'm freaking out*
**[22:23] ED**
*I want to look cute to you*
**[22:23] ED**
*(crazy, crazy, drive me crazy, and that's…)*
**[22:25] ED**

*Dizzying love*
**[22:34] ED**
*Just tell him to look at you*

* And watch him stiffen up even more,*
* because you're both so awkward*
**[22:43] ED**
*What? Even if we're alike in that way*
**[22:47] ED**
* It doesn't make me happy, 'cause it*
* means our love is going nowhere*
**[22:52] ED**
* Cloudy heart, swirling emotions—*
* I sense rain coming*
**[23:00] ED**
* So I partly open my umbrella,*
* then sneakily scoot closer to you*
**[23:10] ED**
* Please notice the curl of my*
* eyelashes as I keep blinking*
**[23:14] ED**
*And don't say I'm acting weird*
**[23:18] ED**
* All this plotting and bargaining*
* is my sly plan to look cute to you*
**[23:22] ED**
* Try to solve the riddle of*
* this soft, dizzying love*
**[23:25] ED**
*(Buzzing, fidgeting)*
**[23:30] ED**
* Listen, I might be a bit*
* tangled in my own web now*
**[23:34] ED**
* But once you unravel the mystery,*
* you'll see pure lo-love*

**[01:45] Akemi**
I can't wait to see Tomo and
the other kids in the play.
**[01:47] Carol's Mom**
Yes!
**[01:48] Carol's Mom**
I'm so glad I got to meet Tomo-chan's
and Misuzu-chan's moms.
**[01:52] Carol's Mom**
I don't think I'd be able to hold
myself back if I was alone.
**[01:56] Carol's Mom**
I'll be counting on you both!
**[01:58] Akemi**
To do what, now?
**[02:00] Akemi**
Never thought I'd see you at
a cultural festival, though.
**[02:03] Akemi**
I guess even you love
your own daughter, huh?
**[02:06] Misuzu's Mom**
She told me there wouldn't be
a cultural festival this year.
**[02:10] Akemi**
Huh? Why would she lie about that?
**[02:12] Misuzu's Mom**
I guess she really didn't want me seeing her.
**[02:16] Misuzu's Mom**
Which is why I came... to film it.
**[02:19] Misuzu's Mom**
It's what she gets for lying to her mother.
**[02:21] Akemi**
* She really can't just be honest and say she*
* wants to film her daughter's performance?*
**[02:28] Tanabe**
Once upon a time, in a land far away,
there lived a young girl.
**[02:32] Tanabe**
Her name was Cinderella.
**[02:35] Tanabe**
Her stepmother and stepsisters
were very mean to her.
**[02:38] Tanabe**
They forced her to do housework
every single day without rest.
**[02:41] Tanabe**
Poor, pitiful Cinderella!
**[02:43] Misuzu**
Sob, sob. Sob, sob. Sob, sob.
**[02:47] Akemi**
I wouldn't call her "pitiful"...
**[02:49] Carol's Mom**
She looks like she's out for blood.
**[02:53] Carol**
Have you finished the cleaning, Cinderella?
**[02:56] Carol's Mom**
Carol-chan!
**[02:59] Akemi**
This is what you wanted us for?!
**[03:01] Misuzu**
Oh, I wish I could go to the ball, too.
**[03:05] Misuzu**
I want to dance in a beautiful dress,
like Mother and my sisters!
**[03:15] Goro**
*Oh?*
**[03:16] Goro**
*No one's realized that he's there.*
**[03:19] Goro**
* He's completely concealed his presence*
* and melted into the scenery.*
**[03:23] Goro**
*He is most definitely a tree!*
**[03:27] Tomo**
Thank you, everyone,
for coming to see me today.
**[03:40] Tomo**
What a beautiful lady you are.
**[03:42] Tomo**
Would you dance with me?
**[03:45] Misuzu**
I will.
**[03:50] Misuzu**
*Tomo...*
**[03:52] Misuzu**
*You really are...*
**[03:54] Misuzu**
*a prince to the core.*
**[03:57] Junichiro**
* But I bet you wish you could be a*
* princess sometimes, too, right?*
**[04:01] Junichiro**
*I swear...*
**[04:02] Junichiro**
* Just try being the one who has*
* to deal with you all the time.*
**[04:05] Misuzu**
*I was the one who instilled in you*
**[04:07] Misuzu**
* the sort of values that made you*
* think you'd rather be a princess.*
**[04:11] Misuzu**
*It's not how you really feel.*
**[04:13] Junichiro**
*But all of it is who you are, including that.*
**[04:21] Tomo**
I've finally found you,
owner of the glass slipper.
**[04:25] Tomo**
Will you marry me?
**[04:27] Carol**
Congratulations, Cinderella!
**[04:29] Tominaga**
I'm so upset, but congratulations!
**[04:31] Matsumura**
Congratulations!
**[04:33] Tomo**
Huh?!
**[04:34] Misuzu**
You're supposed to be furious about this.
**[04:36] Tanabe**
Congrats, Cinderella! I wish you happiness!
**[04:39] Cast**
Congratulations!
**[04:40] Girl Students**
Congratulations!
**[04:43] Misuzu**
What's going on?
**[04:44] Tomo**
I mean, I guess it's all good.
**[04:47] Tomo**
We've been through a lot,
but it was fun, huh?
**[04:50] Misuzu**
That's true.
**[04:52] Misuzu**
*This wasn't such a bad punishment.*
***SIGN*** We Ain't Right
**[05:00] Tomo**
Yeah! We pulled it off!
**[05:03] Junichiro**
You did great, Tomo.
**[05:05] Junichiro**
Wanna walk around the festival with me?
**[05:08] Tomo**
Oh... Sure, but...
**[05:12] Tomo**
You can take that thing off now.
***SIGN*** Maid Café
**[05:17] Mifuna/Ogawa**
W-Welcome, master!
**[05:20] Mifune**
Th-This cake is our top recommendation.
**[05:23] Ogawa**
Like, on the house!
**[05:24] Tomo**
Wow, really?
**[05:25] Junichiro**
Way to go, Tomo.
**[05:27] Mifune**
Here.
**[05:28] Mifune**
The coffee you ordered.
**[05:30] Ogawa**
Drink it and, like, get the hell outta here.
**[05:33] Junichiro**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Welcome Home, Master
***SIGN*** Haunted House
**[05:46] Junichiro**
Hey, relax! The ghost is gone!
**[05:55] Junichiro**
Damn it!
**[05:56] Junichiro**
How did I lose all three rounds?!
**[05:59] Tomo**
Heh! Try challenging me
again in about ten years!
**[06:03] Junichiro**
We're going one more round
once we're done eating!
**[06:05] Junichiro**
I won't lose this time!
**[06:06] Tomo**
Sounds fun! I accept!
**[06:10] Tomo**
*Yeah, being with him is still a total blast!*
**[06:13] Tomo**
*But I'm thinking of ending what we have.*
**[06:16] Tomo**
*Is that really what I want?*
**[06:25] Carol**
Isn't this fun, Ko-chan?
**[06:27] Misaki**
Yeah...
**[06:28] Girl Student1**
Aizawa-san! Please dance with me!
**[06:30] Girl Student2**
And then me!
**[06:31] Girl Student3**
Me, too! Me, too!
**[06:32] Tomo**
Whoa, hang—
**[06:33] Junichiro**
Tomo... You wanna dance with me?
**[06:35] Tomo**
Huh?! W-Well, sure, I guess...
**[06:40] Tomo**
Wh-What?! Stop clapping!
**[06:45] Misuzu**
* What am I expecting will happen*
* if I stand around here?*
**[06:50] Tanabe**
Hey, Misuzu-chan. Do you
wanna dance with me?
**[06:53] Tanabe**
What? Didn't you hear me?
**[06:55] Misuzu**
* They both have someone to spend*
* the festival after-party with.*
**[06:59] Misuzu**
*They don't have time to waste on m—*
**[07:03] Carol**
Sorry. Have you been waiting?
**[07:09] Misuzu**
I suppose I should thank you.
**[07:12] Misuzu**
So thanks.
**[07:13] Carol**
Huh? For what?
**[07:14] Carol**
Did I do something?
**[07:16] Misuzu**
Don't play dumb with me.
**[07:18] Misuzu**
You got me the Cinderella role so
I'd make up with Tomo, didn't you?
**[07:23] Carol**
You were fighting?
**[07:24] Misuzu**
Huh?
**[07:25] Carol**
This is all I was after.
**[07:29] Misuzu**
Give me that! I'm deleting it!
**[07:30] Carol**
No!
**[07:32] Tomo**
Th-This is more embarrassing than I expected.
**[07:35] Junichiro**
Yeah... it is.
**[07:38] Tomo**
Never thought you'd ask me to dance.
**[07:41] Tomo**
I know you were just asking as a friend,
**[07:44] Tomo**
but y'know, if you ask me like
that in front of people,
**[07:47] Tomo**
they might get the wrong idea.
**[07:51] Junichiro**
It's not... wrong.
**[07:54] Tomo**
Huh?
**[07:56] Junichiro**
They wouldn't be wrong.
**[07:59] Carol**
Huh? Tomo-chan?
**[08:02] Junichiro**
Tomo?
**[08:17] Junichiro**
It's cold...
**[08:19] Tomo**
Morning, Jun!
**[08:21] Tomo**
Don't get all shriveled up just 'cause it's cold!
**[08:24] Tomo**
Get those spirits up and let's go!
**[08:26] Junichiro**
*Tomo's been like this ever since that day.*
**[08:29] Junichiro**
* At a glance, she just seems*
* super energetic, but...*
**[08:32] Tomo**
So then, y'know what Misuzu did?
**[08:34] Junichiro**
Hey, Tomo, about the after-party...
**[08:38] Tomo**
O-Oh, yeah! I just remembered I need to
get to school early to do something!
**[08:46] Junichiro**
*Should I take this as a rejection?*
**[08:52] Carol**
Morning, Misuzu-chan!
**[08:55] Misuzu**
Good morning.
**[08:58] Carol**
Look at this, Tomo-chan! I'm hugging her,
and she's not getting mad!
**[09:02] Carol**
It's a miracle!
**[09:03] Tomo**
Well, Misuzu really hates being cold.
**[09:06] Tomo**
You must be warming her up by hugging her.
**[09:08] Carol**
I wish it'd stay winter forever!
**[09:19] Carol**
Hey, where's Jun-kun?
**[09:21] Carol**
He didn't come with you today?
**[09:23] Tomo**
Huh? O-Oh, yeah...
**[09:25] Tomo**
He came with me part of the
way, b-but stuff happened...
**[09:29] Carol**
Hey, Tomo-chan, did something happen
between you two at the cultural festival?
**[09:33] Tomo**
Huh?! B-Between me and Jun?!
**[09:35] Tomo**
N-No, nothing at all! So much nothing
that it's killing me, actually!
**[09:43] Carol**
Something did happen.
**[09:45] Misuzu**
I knew it.
**[09:46] Misuzu**
Junichiro probably said something that
amounted to confessing his feelings,
**[09:50] Misuzu**
and she chose to run away from him.
**[09:52] Carol**
Why, though? Their feelings
were finally mutual.
**[09:55] Misuzu**
Why? I mean...
**[10:05] Misaki**
Morning, Jun-kun.
**[10:06] Junichiro**
Oh, hey.
**[10:08] Misaki**
Is something wrong?
**[10:12] Junichiro**
The thing is... there's someone I like.
**[10:16] Misaki**
Wait, are you saying it's...
**[10:19] Junichiro**
It's Tomo.
**[10:23] Junichiro**
What'd you do that for?
**[10:25] Misaki**
S-Sorry! I was just so happy,
I couldn't stop myself!
**[10:29] Junichiro**
So... what do you think I should do?
**[10:34] Misaki**
Well...
**[10:36] Misaki**
If I told you there was a good way
to handle it, would you do it?
**[10:41] Misaki**
I think the best thing you can do is
tell her straight-up that you like her.
**[10:46] Misaki**
I think that's the thing that'll
work best for you two.
**[10:50] Misaki**
Wait, did I sound kinda patronizing there?
**[10:53] Junichiro**
No.
**[10:55] Junichiro**
Thank you for the advice.
**[10:58] Misaki**
No, it was nothing!
**[11:00] Misaki**
To be honest, I'm not really in any
position to give anyone love advice.
**[11:05] Misaki**
I'm only going out with Carol now
because someone set the stage for me.
**[11:11] Misaki**
I didn't do any of the work on my own.
**[11:14] Misaki**
So now that she's accepted me
even knowing that's how I am,
**[11:18] Misaki**
I want to get all the feelings across
to her that I never could before.
**[11:23] Misaki**
Telling someone you like
them isn't easy to do.
**[11:26] Misaki**
It's really scary, even.
**[11:29] Misaki**
So let's both give it our all.
**[11:33] Junichiro**
Right.
**[11:35] Junichiro**
*I've decided what to do.*
**[11:37] Junichiro**
*I'm going to tell her how I feel up-front.*
**[11:40] Junichiro**
*But there are some steps I need to take first.*
**[11:49] Junichiro**
Got a minute to talk, Gundo?
**[11:58] Junichiro**
Gundo...
**[12:00] Junichiro**
Sorry. I'm in love with Tomo.
**[12:04] Misuzu**
Huh?
**[12:06] Misuzu**
What does that have to do with me?
**[12:08] Junichiro**
Just... sorry.
**[12:10] Misuzu**
What are you apologizing for?
**[12:12] Junichiro**
I'm pretty sure, ever since
you and I went out...
**[12:15] Junichiro**
No, even before that, I already loved her.
**[12:19] Junichiro**
So I realize it's selfish of me
to tell you I love her *now*.
**[12:26] Misuzu**
Wait... Are you saying *that's* why you
couldn't be more proactive with Tomo?
**[12:32] Junichiro**
That's not all of it, but...
**[12:34] Misuzu**
* I can't believe he was*
* still worried about me.*
**[12:38] Misuzu**
*I swear, he's such a...*
**[12:40] Junichiro**
Hey, you okay? Does your head hurt?
**[12:43] Misuzu**
Don't get cocky!
**[12:45] Misuzu**
Do you think our brief relationship
happened at *your* discretion?
**[12:49] Misuzu**
*I* picked it up and *I* threw it away!
**[12:53] Misuzu**
It was *my* mistake!
**[12:54] Misuzu**
A huge mistake.
**[12:56] Misuzu**
If you're being considerate of me,
forget about it right now.
**[13:00] Misuzu**
Got it?
**[13:00] Junichiro**
Y-Yeah...
**[13:04] Junichiro**
Thanks.
**[13:05] Misuzu**
Huh? I didn't do anything to be thanked for.
**[13:08] Junichiro**
No, not just for today.
**[13:11] Junichiro**
You've always been pretty good at
looking out for others, y'know?
**[13:15] Junichiro**
It's just a feeling,
**[13:17] Junichiro**
but I'm pretty sure I only made
it to this point because of you.
**[13:21] Junichiro**
Am I wrong?
**[13:22] Misuzu**
I swear. He and Tomo both...
**[13:27] Misuzu**
I disagree.
**[13:29] Junichiro**
Thanks for hearing me out.
**[13:31] Junichiro**
Let's head back to class.
**[13:33] Misuzu**
Wait.
**[13:34] Misuzu**
Tell me one last thing.
**[13:37] Misuzu**
Was I...
**[13:40] Misuzu**
your first love?
**[13:41] Junichiro**
F-First love?!
**[13:43] Junichiro**
No... you weren't.
**[13:46] Misuzu**
I see. So I wasn't your first, then.
**[13:50] Misuzu**
Incidentally, I've never
been in love with anyone.
**[13:54] Junichiro**
Oh, is that so?!
**[13:55] Junichiro**
I really can't stand you!
**[14:05] Tomo**
What's this?
***SIGN*** Letter of Challenge
Aizawa Tomo,
I challenge you to a duel.
Wait for me on the rooftop today after school.
**[14:10] Tomo**
A challenge letter?!
**[14:13] Tomo**
Yo! What idiot tried to
pick a fight with me?!
**[14:21] Tomo**
J-Jun?! You tricked me!
**[14:23] Junichiro**
Yep.
**[14:24] Junichiro**
I didn't think you'd actually
fall for it, though.
**[14:27] Tomo**
*It's all over! I can't get away!*
**[14:31] Junichiro**
Tomo...
**[14:33] Junichiro**
Please...
**[14:35] Junichiro**
Please hit me!
**[14:37] Tomo**
Wha?!
**[14:38] Tomo**
And why do I have to hit you?
**[14:41] Junichiro**
Because I deserve to be hit.
**[14:43] Tomo**
What the hell?!
**[14:45] Tomo**
I don't have any reason to...
**[14:48] Junichiro**
Right after we started high school,
**[14:51] Junichiro**
when we were standing
under those cherry trees,
**[14:53] Junichiro**
you told me you loved me.
**[14:55] (Flashback) Tomo**
I love you, Jun!
**[14:58] Tomo**
Huh?
**[14:59] Junichiro**
You didn't just mean "as a friend," did you?
**[15:07] Tomo**
You realized I was confessing to you?
**[15:10] Junichiro**
Yeah.
**[15:11] Tomo**
You knew how I felt?
**[15:14] Junichiro**
That's right.
**[15:15] Tomo**
And you knew...
**[15:17] Tomo**
that I was trying so hard to
be more girly just for you...
**[15:21] Tomo**
and you were just ignoring it?!
**[15:23] Junichiro**
You were trying to be more girly... for me?
**[15:26] Junichiro**
S-Sorry... I didn't know about tha—
**[15:34] Junichiro**
Ow...
**[15:36] Tomo**
*I hit him.*
**[15:39] Tomo**
*I don't even have any right to hit him.*
**[15:43] Tomo**
* I can understand wanting to*
* run away painfully well.*
**[15:46] Tomo**
*Jun must have been afraid, too.*
**[15:49] Tomo**
* But right now, he's looking right*
* at me and not running away.*
**[15:54] Tomo**
*I'm the one running away now!*
**[16:01] Junichiro**
Wait!
**[16:03] Junichiro**
I know your feelings might
have changed by now.
**[16:07] Junichiro**
But even if they have, I still...
**[16:11] Junichiro**
love you!
**[16:13] Tomo**
Shut up, dumbass!
**[16:14] Junichiro**
Dumbass?!
**[16:19] Junichiro**
Dumbass...
**[16:22] Tomo**
I blew it!
**[16:25] Misuzu**
So then you called him a
dumbass and ran away, huh?
**[16:28] Tomo**
I mean... I just freaked out!
**[16:31] Carol**
"Dumbass" was just mean, though.
**[16:32] Tomo**
Quit rubbing salt in the wound!
**[16:35] Carol**
You know you love each other now.
You should just go out.
**[16:39] Tomo**
What does "going out" even mean?
**[16:41] Carol**
Huh?
**[16:42] Tomo**
What makes it different
from the way we are now?
**[16:44] Tomo**
How are Jun and I supposed to be?
**[16:47] Tomo**
Is everything just gonna work out,
even though I don't understand anything?
**[16:51] Tomo**
What if I screw it up?
**[16:53] Misuzu**
*Tomo...*
**[16:54] Misuzu**
*You've always called me your best friend,*
**[16:59] Misuzu**
* but this is the first time we've*
* really faced each other head-on.*
**[17:07] Misuzu**
Tomo...
**[17:08] Misuzu**
I want you to listen carefully
to what I'm about to tell you.
**[17:11] Tomo**
Huh?
**[17:12] Misuzu**
Because I'm pretty sure I'll
only be able to say it once.
**[17:23] Misuzu**
I'm sorry.
**[17:25] Misuzu**
What's going on between you and
Junichiro now is all my fault.
**[17:30] Tomo**
Huh? No way! I should be thanking you for—
**[17:33] Misuzu**
You shouldn't.
**[17:35] Misuzu**
There was never any need to force
yourself to be more girly.
**[17:38] Misuzu**
You were just fine the way you were.
**[17:42] Misuzu**
No one ever... wanted you to change.
**[17:47] Tomo**
M-Misu—
**[17:48] Tomo**
A-A-Are you... crying?!
**[17:50] Misuzu**
I am not.
**[17:53] Tomo**
Sorry, Misuzu.
**[17:55] Tomo**
I guess I kinda backed you into a corner.
**[18:00] Misuzu**
I put myself in a corner. That's all.
**[18:04] Misuzu**
But more importantly...
**[18:05] Misuzu**
Just go to him and settle all this.
**[18:08] Misuzu**
Like you always do. Right?
**[18:11] Tomo**
Misuzu...
**[18:14] Tomo**
I'm so glad you're my best friend!
**[18:17] Misuzu**
Yeah, yeah.
**[18:24] Misuzu**
Love sure is nice.
**[18:27] Misuzu**
With the one you love, you can
be stubborn, cry, throw a fit...
**[18:30] Misuzu**
And they'll understand that
that's just the way it goes.
**[18:33] Misuzu**
My feelings are so incomprehensible,
no one would ever understand them.
**[18:40] Carol**
I don't think it matters whether
someone's a friend or a love interest.
**[18:44] Carol**
It's okay to have lots of
different types of love.
**[18:47] Carol**
You and I are just friends,
**[18:51] Carol**
but I still want to kiss you.
**[18:52] Misuzu**
Get off me.
**[18:55] Tomo**
Jun!
**[18:58] Jun**
Tomo?
**[18:59] Tomo**
Sorry about before! I won't run away again!
**[19:03] Tomo**
So just give me one more... one more chance!
**[19:12] Tomo**
I just want to make sure I understood.
**[19:15] Tomo**
So you really... l-love me?
**[19:20] Junichiro**
Yes, I do!
**[19:21] Tomo**
Really?!
**[19:22] Junichiro**
Yes!
**[19:23] Tomo**
Really for real?!
**[19:25] Junichiro**
Yes, for real!
**[19:27] Tomo**
*Jun really, actually loves me!*
**[19:30] Tomo**
*As a man... and he loves me as a girl!*
**[19:33] Tomo**
* I never thought this day would come!*
* It feels like a dream!*
**[19:38] Tomo**
*But that also means...*
**[19:42] Tomo**
You're really sure about that?
**[19:44] Junichiro**
Huh?
**[19:45] Tomo**
After today, you and I might
not be best buds anymore.
**[19:49] Tomo**
You're okay with that?
**[19:51] Junichiro**
Not best buds anymore? Why?
**[19:54] Tomo**
Are you saying you don't wanna...
g-go out with me?!
**[19:57] Junichiro**
I'm not saying that!
**[19:59] Tomo**
So we can't stay best buds, then, can we?!
**[20:01] Junichiro**
I don't wanna quit that, either!
**[20:02] Tomo**
How selfish can you be?!
**[20:04] Tomo**
What do you want us to be, then?!
**[20:07] Junichiro**
Well, I mean...
**[20:10] Junichiro**
For example...
**[20:13] Junichiro**
Ready... go!
**[20:15] Tomo**
Huh?!
**[20:15] Tomo**
Hey! Wait up, damn it!
**[20:25] Junichiro**
I still can't beat you, huh?
**[20:27] Tomo**
Wh-Why the hell did you suddenly take off?
**[20:31] Junichiro**
This is what I want.
**[20:34] Junichiro**
This is the relationship
I want to have with you.
**[20:37] Tomo**
Huh?
**[20:40] Junichiro**
Even if you and I get together as a couple,
**[20:45] Junichiro**
I still want us to compete with
each other, like we always have.
**[20:49] Tomo**
Well, sure, I have fun competing
with you, too, but...
**[20:53] Tomo**
Is that how it's supposed to be
when a guy and a girl go out?
**[20:57] Junichiro**
Maybe it's not actually that simple.
**[21:00] Junichiro**
But...
**[21:01] Junichiro**
I still want to treasure all
the time we've spent together.
**[21:06] Junichiro**
You're my childhood friend,
my best bud, my rival, and...
**[21:14] Junichiro**
the girl I love.
**[21:16] Junichiro**
Is that not good enough?
**[21:22] Tomo**
* Your best bud, your rival, and*
* your girlfriend? What the heck?*
**[21:27] Tomo**
*But maybe... if it's okay to be that selfish...*
**[21:32] Tomo**
Jun!
**[21:35] Tomo**
Jun, I...
**[21:38] Tomo**
love you, too!
**[21:46] Tomo**
Jun!
**[21:50] Tomo**
Hey!
**[21:51] Tomo**
Answer me! You alive?!
**[21:54] Junichiro**
Yes!
**[21:55] Tomo**
What?!
**[21:57] Jun**
Yes!
**[22:10] ED**
*(This suspicious behavior is...)*
**[22:14] ED**
*Hey, you know, I'm all mixed up*
**[22:18] ED**
*It's too complicated, I'm freaking out*
**[22:23] ED**
*I want to look cute to you*
**[22:23] ED**
*(crazy, crazy, drive me crazy, and that's…)*
**[22:25] ED**
* So I'm plotting, bargaining,*
* sly, and stubborn*
**[22:29] ED**
*Dizzying love*
**[22:34] ED**
*Just tell him to look at you*
**[22:38] ED**
* And watch him stiffen up even more,*
* because you're both so awkward*
**[22:43] ED**
*What? Even if we're alike in that way*
**[22:47] ED**
* It doesn't make me happy, 'cause it*
* means our love is going nowhere*
**[22:52] ED**
* Cloudy heart, swirling emotions—*
* I sense rain coming*
**[23:00] ED**
* So I partly open my umbrella,*
* then sneakily scoot closer to you*
**[23:10] ED**
* Please notice the curl of my*
* eyelashes as I keep blinking*
**[23:13] ED**
*And don't say I'm acting weird*
**[23:18] ED**
* All this plotting and bargaining*
* is my sly plan to look cute to you*
**[23:22] ED**
* Try to solve the riddle of*
* this soft, dizzying love*
**[23:25] ED**
*(Buzzing, fidgeting)*
**[23:30] ED**
* Listen, I might be a bit*
* tangled in my own web now*
**[23:34] ED**
* But once you unravel the mystery,*
* you'll see pure lo-love*

**[00:00] Tomo**
Sorry, Jun.
**[00:02] Tomo**
I promised Misuzu and Carol
I'd walk home with them today.
**[00:04] Junichiro**
It's cool. Don't worry about it.
**[00:07] Carol**
You're taking this awfully well, Jun-kun.
**[00:09] Misuzu**
Not going to get all dejected this time?
**[00:10] Junichiro**
I'll never get dejected over not
going home together anymore.
**[00:14] Junichiro**
I don't want to be the kind
of guy who ties Tomo down.
**[00:17] Tomo**
Jun...
**[00:21] Junichiro**
What the... S-Stop!
**[00:25] Tomo**
Lately... Actually, for a while now...
**[00:28] Tomo**
I think it started when he started
to see me as a girl, to be honest...
**[00:33] Tomo**
But Jun's been so relaxed,
it's actually kinda pissing me off.
**[00:36] Carol**
I get it.
**[00:37] Misuzu**
I get it, too.
**[00:38] Tomo**
It's like I'm the only one freaking out,
**[00:40] Tomo**
and it makes me feel like I've lost.
**[00:43] Misuzu**
I don't think it's an issue
of winning or losing,
**[00:46] Misuzu**
but I get that you want to
see him acting flustered.
**[00:49] Carol**
Then... why not kiss him?
**[00:52] Tomo**
Huh?! K-Kiss him?! Are you...
**[00:55] Tomo**
If it was that easy, I wouldn't
be suffering like this!
**[00:57] Misuzu**
You could try watching
a kissing scene together.
**[01:00] Misuzu**
I bet that would make him think about it.
**[01:02] Tomo**
D-Does it really work like that?
**[01:05] Misuzu**
It'll be Christmas soon.
**[01:07] Misuzu**
Why don't you go see this together?
**[01:23] OP**
* When I throw a jab or a straight,*
* it always lands*
**[01:28] OP**
* But when I'm aiming for your heart,*
* I miss every time*
**[01:34] OP**
*Parallel, zigzagging, awkward, incoherent*
**[01:39] OP**
*When you look my way and move closer to me*
**[01:43] OP**
*I know it doesn't mean the same thing for you*
**[01:49] OP**
*But I wish we could stay like this forever*
**[01:54] OP**
*My changing feelings are driving me crazy*
**[02:00] OP**
* The moment you turn to face me,*
* take that! Telepathy*
**[02:06] OP**
*If only we could feel the same thing*
**[02:11] OP**
*I want to kick this pesky subtlety away*
**[02:16] OP**
* I want to know everything,*
* I want to know everything*
**[02:22] OP**
*I can't fool you forever*
**[02:25] OP**
*I can't keep this hidden*
**[02:27] OP**

"To Stay by Your Side..."
**[02:53] Tomo**
Jun!
**[03:00] Tomo**
Did you wait long?
**[03:04] Tomo**
You look kinda grown-up today.
**[03:07] Junichiro**
You think so?
**[03:08] Tomo**
What about me? Well? Well?
**[03:11] Tomo**
Hey, c'mon! Look at me!
**[03:14] Junichiro**
Tomo...
**[03:15] Junichiro**
You look... cute today. Pretty, in fact.
**[03:20] Junichiro**
There's just something special
about this look. I really like it.
**[03:25] Junichiro**
Sorry... I'm not used to this kind
of thing, so I can't say it well...
**[03:31] Tomo**
Y-Yeah...
**[03:33] Tomo**
*Damn him!*
**[03:39] Tomo**
We're gonna see this today!
**[03:41] Junichiro**
What?!
***SIGN*** This Love Is the Real Deal!! A Story of Pure Love
**[03:42] Junichiro**
Are you actually serious?
***SIGN*** This Love Is the Real Deal!! A Story of Pure Love
**[03:44] Tomo**
C'mon, Jun. We're not little kids anymore.
**[03:49] Tomo**
You can't panic over a little kiss.
**[03:51] Junichiro**
Wh-When did you turn into
that kind of adult?!
**[03:55] Tomo**
Heh!
***SIGN*** This Love Is the Real Deal!! A Story of Pure Love
**[03:56] Tomo**
* Staring at this thing for*
* a whole week paid off!*
**[04:00] Keita**
*Wait, Haruko!*
**[04:03] Haruko**
*We should stop seeing each other.*
**[04:06] Keita**
*But why?!*
**[04:08] Haruko**
*You're someone I must never love!*
**[04:12] Haruko**
*Forgive me, Keita-kun.*
**[04:14] (Flashback) Misuzu**
When it gets to the kissing scene,
put your hand on top of his.
**[04:19] Misuzu**
*The effect will be immediate.*
**[04:22] Tomo**
*All right! Bring it on, kissing scene!*
**[04:26] Tomo**
*Wait, what?!*
**[04:28] Haruko**
*We can't! Not here!*
**[04:31] Keita**
*I can't hold back anymore!*
**[04:34] Keita**
*I love you, Haruko.*
**[04:36] Haruko**
*Okay. Come to me, Keita-kun.*
**[04:39] Keita**
*Haruko... Haruko!*
**[04:41] Tomo**
*Did Misuzu go see this movie by herself?!*
**[04:45] Tomo**
*This is way beyond just a kiss!*
**[04:47] Tomo**
* If I put my hand on his now,*
* it'll look like I'm asking for this!*
**[04:51] Tomo**
*Damn! He's really taking this in!*
**[04:54] Haruko**
*Keita-kun...*
**[04:56] Keita**
*Haruko...*
**[04:58] Tomo**
The movie was... p-pretty interesting, huh?
**[05:02] Junichiro**
Yeah. I guess it pays to go
into things with an open mind.
**[05:06] Tomo**
You were looking really focused.
Are you into that kinda thing?
**[05:10] Tomo**
*Does he like pervy stuff that much?!*
**[05:12] Junichiro**
I actually couldn't get into love
and romance stories before.
**[05:16] Junichiro**
I always thought I was the kind of
guy who couldn't relate to all that.
**[05:21] Junichiro**
But now... I don't know why...
**[05:23] Junichiro**
Because I fell in love with you, maybe?
**[05:26] Tomo**
*I'm total scum!*
**[05:28] Junichiro**
Oh, yeah.
**[05:31] Junichiro**
Here. It's your Christmas present.
**[05:35] Tomo**
Thanks...
**[05:37] Junichiro**
Go on. Open it.
**[05:46] Tomo**
Wh-What do you think?
**[05:48] Tomo**
This kind of thing really
doesn't suit me, huh?
**[05:52] Junichiro**
*I'm so glad I bought those.*
**[05:54] Tomo**
Say something!
**[05:56] Tomo**
Actually, I have something for you, too.
**[06:00] Tomo**
Here you go.
**[06:03] Junichiro**
No way... Is this a handmade muffler?!
**[06:06] Tomo**
I heard it was a classic gift choice,
so I gave it a shot,
**[06:09] Tomo**
but it didn't come out well
enough to actually wear around.
**[06:12] Tomo**
I bet you feel pretty
awkward just accepting it.
**[06:16] Tomo**
Don't just put it on right away!
**[06:21] Tomo**
* The truth is, I don't have any*
* complaints about the way Jun is now.*
**[06:25] Tomo**
* I know he's acting calmer*
* because I'm important to him.*
**[06:31] Tomo**
*It's just... Somehow, I've gotten greedy.*
**[06:35] Tomo**
*I want to shock him more!*
**[06:37] Tomo**
*I want to make him like me more!*
**[06:40] Junichiro**
It's getting dark. Ready to head home?
**[06:49] Tomo**
I'll go... to your house.
**[06:52] Junichiro**
Huh?!
**[06:53] Junichiro**
But it's already night—
**[07:03] Tomo**
So your mom's out again today, huh?
**[07:07] Junichiro**
I think she'll be back by nightfall, though.
**[07:10] Tomo**
Oh.
**[07:13] Junichiro**
I know!
**[07:14] Junichiro**
Wanna play some games?
**[07:16] Tomo**
No, I'm good.
**[07:19] Junichiro**
Okay.
**[07:33] Junichiro**
*Chill out, me!*
**[07:34] Junichiro**
* I've been alone with Tomo in my*
* own room tons of times before!*
**[07:38] Tomo**
Hey...
**[07:42] Tomo**
Can I...
**[07:44] Tomo**
sit next to you?
**[08:04] Tomo**
I knew I wasn't cut out for bargaining!
**[08:07] Tomo**
I came here today... to kiss you!
**[08:11] Junichiro**
Kiss me?!
**[08:12] Junichiro**
T-To kiss me?! Where did that even...
**[08:15] Tomo**
You don't want to?
**[08:16] Junichiro**
No, it's not that I don't want to...
**[08:19] Tomo**
I guess...
**[08:21] Tomo**
I don't have any feminine
appeal after all, huh?
**[08:29] Junichiro**
Tomo!
**[08:31] Tomo**
Huh?! Jun?!
**[08:33] Tomo**
*Is it gonna happen?!*
**[08:34] Tomo**
*Are we...*
**[08:35] Tomo**
*Are we about to do* that*?!*
**[08:39] Tomo**
*He's making a fist?!*
**[08:41] Tomo**
*Is that a thing, too?!*
**[08:44] Tomo**
*What?!*
**[08:46] Tomo**
What the hell are you doing?! Are you okay?!
**[08:49] Junichiro**
Tomo...
**[08:51] Junichiro**
You have *so* much appeal!
**[08:55] Junichiro**
The desire to kiss you... a-and touch you...
is constantly on my mind!
**[09:00] Tomo**
Huh?!
**[09:01] Junichiro**
But I don't think it's right to just
do those things without any thought!
**[09:06] Junichiro**
I want them to be special.
**[09:08] Tomo**
Jun...
**[09:10] Junichiro**
So I can't do that now.
**[09:13] Junichiro**
I haven't even asked you
to be my girlfriend yet.
**[09:16] Tomo**
You're right. We're not even going out yet.
**[09:23] Tomo**
Wait, we weren't even going out yet?!
**[09:28] Junichiro**
Actually, after I told you
how I felt about you,
**[09:31] Junichiro**
I went to talk to your parents.
**[09:34] Junichiro**
Akemi-san gave our
relationship her blessing,
**[09:37] Junichiro**
but your dad...
**[09:39] (Flashback) Goro**
If you want to date Tomo,
**[09:42] (Flashback) Goro**
you have to defeat me first!
**[09:44] Junichiro**
That's what he said.
**[09:47] Tomo**
Dad, you stupid piece of shit!
**[09:51] Akemi**
How could you tell him he can't date
Tomo unless he beats you? Poor Jun-bo.
**[09:57] Goro**
Yeah.
**[09:58] Akemi**
So? Why are you all depressed now?
**[10:03] Goro**
Tomo is...
**[10:05] Goro**
She's really my daughter, huh?
**[10:13] Akemi**
You're asking that after all this time?
**[10:16] Akemi**
You won't find a cuter
daughter than her anywhere.
**[10:19] Tomo**
Damn you, old man!
**[10:22] Goro**
Tomo?
**[10:24] Tomo**
You know what this is about, don't you?
**[10:26] Goro**
Mm...
**[10:27] Tomo**
Why'd you tell him he can't
date me unless he defeats you?
**[10:31] Tomo**
What were you thinking when
you said that to Jun?!
**[10:33] Goro**
M-Mm...
**[10:35] Tomo**
Quit your stupid grunting
and answer me, asshole!
**[10:39] Goro**
M-Mm...
**[10:41] Tomo**
Damn it! You're gonna keep
me in the dark, then?
**[10:45] Tomo**
Forget it!
**[10:46] Goro**
Tomo?
**[10:48] Tomo**
Dad...
**[10:51] Tomo**
I hate you!
**[10:52] Goro**
*She hates me?!*
**[11:07] Carol**
Happy New Year, Misuzu-chan.
**[11:10] Misuzu**
Happy New Year.
**[11:13] Carol**
You still can't get in touch with Tomo-chan?
**[11:15] Misuzu**
No.
**[11:17] Misuzu**
She won't answer her phone,
**[11:18] Misuzu**
and my messages aren't even
being marked as read.
**[11:20] Carol**
I wanted to do our first shrine
visit of the year with her.
**[11:24] Carol**
You haven't heard anything from
her since Christmas, right?
**[11:27] Misuzu**
That's right.
**[11:28] Carol**
It's Jun-kun, isn't it?
**[11:30] Misuzu**
Yes. It has to be him.
**[11:34] Akemi**
Sorry to tell you after you
took the time to come over,
***SIGN*** Aizawa
**[11:37] Akemi**
but she's still saying she
doesn't want to see anyone.
**[11:42] Junichiro**
I see.
**[11:45] Akemi**
H-Hey, I know! Why don't you
try fighting Goro right now?
**[11:49] Akemi**
He's been off his game.
**[11:52] Akemi**
He might be easier to beat than you think.
**[11:54] Junichiro**
No, I'm not in the mood to
fight right now, either.
**[11:59] Akemi**
N-No, huh?
***SIGN*** Back at School
**[12:05] Junichiro**
Just wait a minute!
**[12:07] Tomo**
Shut up!
**[12:09] Junichiro**
I said wait, Tomo!
**[12:15] Tomo**
Do you know why I'm pissed off?
**[12:19] Junichiro**
Because I didn't tell
you what your dad said?
**[12:21] Tomo**
Bingo. Why didn't you tell me?
**[12:24] Junichiro**
Because...
**[12:26] Tomo**
You could have just told me
**[12:28] Tomo**
that you'd go kick my dad's ass,
so I could just take it easy and wait!
**[12:32] Tomo**
Then I would've...
**[12:34] Junichiro**
I can't just ask you to wait for me!
**[12:39] Tomo**
I don't... have to wait?
**[12:43] Junichiro**
Yeah. Since it's come to this,
I intend to face it with all I've got.
**[12:48] Junichiro**
But I know it's not gonna be
that easy to beat your dad.
**[12:52] Junichiro**
Defeating him was already my life's goal.
**[12:57] Junichiro**
So if I go through my whole
life never able to beat him,
**[13:01] Junichiro**
I'll just...
**[13:03] Tomo**
Get...
**[13:06] Tomo**
Get real!
**[13:11] Tomo**
* As long as Jun's like that, he'll never win,*
* no matter how capable he is!*
**[13:16] Misuzu**
Long time no see.
**[13:18] Carol**
How have you been, Tomo-chan?
**[13:21] Misuzu**
You completely ignored us
all through winter break,
**[13:24] Misuzu**
so I guess it's been two weeks?
**[13:26] Carol**
Do you remember when we said
we'd all go skiing together?
**[13:29] Tomo**
Um... I'm... really sorry...
**[13:34] Carol**
So that's what happened.
**[13:36] Misuzu**
Well? Do you think he can win?
**[13:39] Tomo**
H-He can!
**[13:41] Tomo**
Maybe not right away, but...
**[13:43] Tomo**
If he takes his training seriously,
maybe in a few months...
**[13:47] Tomo**
No, maybe a few years...
**[13:49] Carol/Misuzu**
That's too long.
**[13:50] Misuzu**
So what are you going to do?
**[13:53] Tomo**
What do you want me to say?
There's nothing I *can* do.
**[13:58] Carol**
And that's okay with you?
**[14:02] Misuzu**
If you want to take the heroine's
stance of silently observing
**[14:05] Misuzu**
a battle between two men, that's fine.
**[14:08] Misuzu**
But is that what you want?
**[14:14] Junichiro**
Tomo!
**[14:15] Tomo**
Wh-What?!
**[14:17] Junichiro**
I'm gonna challenge your dad today.
***SIGN*** Kashima Daimyojin
***SIGN*** Kashima Daimyojin
**[14:37] Junichiro**
Damn.
**[14:37] Goro**
Jun-bo! What the hell are you thinking?!
**[14:40] Junichiro**
You said you'd accept my challenge
at any time, didn't you?
**[14:44] Junichiro**
So you will accept it, right?
**[14:47] Goro**
Very well, then.
**[14:49] Goro**
I thought if I said that, you'd
give up on Tomo and run away.
**[14:53] Junichiro**
I realize I'm at a huge disadvantage.
**[14:56] Junichiro**
So I'll do whatever I have to do to defeat you.
**[15:00] Junichiro**
And on that note...
**[15:02] Junichiro**
I've called in some support.
**[15:04] Goro**
H-How dare you?!
**[15:06] Goro**
Br-Br-Bringing Akemi here is playing dirty!
**[15:09] Tomo**
*Jun's challenging my dad right now.*
**[15:12] Tomo**
*Should I really just stay here?*
**[15:15] Misaki**
Aizawa-san... If something's bothering you,
you can talk to me...
**[15:20] Tomo**
Huh?
**[15:23] Misaki**
I see. So he really went to
challenge Goro-san, huh?
**[15:27] Misaki**
Jun-kun's amazing.
**[15:29] Tomo**
You said it.
**[15:30] Tomo**
Wait, Senpai, you knew Jun was
going to challenge my dad?
**[15:35] Misaki**
Yeah, actually, he seemed stressed
about something over winter break,
**[15:40] Misaki**
so I asked what was up, and...
**[15:42] (Flashback) Junichiro**
I know I don't have much chance of winning,
**[15:45] (Flashback) Junichiro**
but I'm pretty sure this is
a battle I have to fight.
**[15:49] (Flashback) Junichiro**
So as long as Tomo doesn't abandon me, I...
**[15:53] Misaki**
"I can't give up," he said.
**[15:56] Tomo**
Since he's such a sincere guy, I figured he
was fighting 'cause he thought he *had* to...
**[15:59] Misaki**
I think you should cheer Jun-kun on.
**[16:02] Misaki**
I'm sure you know better than anyone...
**[16:06] Misaki**
what would help him the most.
**[16:12] Tomo**
Sorry, Senpai!
**[16:14] Tomo**
I gotta leave early today!
**[16:27] Carol**
Was that...
**[16:29] Misuzu**
Yeah, that wind pressure
was definitely Tomo.
**[16:31] Carol**
Looks like she's over it. That's great.
**[16:35] Misuzu**
You're right. She must have had an epiphany.
**[16:44] Goro**
Why don't you just give up already?
**[16:46] Goro**
You can't defeat me as you are now.
**[16:50] Junichiro**
Not... Not yet!
**[17:00] Tomo**
Hey, you okay? You're really wrecked.
**[17:03] Junichiro**
This is nothi—
**[17:05] Junichiro**
Wait, Tomo?!
**[17:06] Junichiro**
Wh-Why are you here?!
**[17:08] Tomo**
Well, I was thinking about it.
**[17:10] Tomo**
You wanna go out with me, right?
**[17:13] Junichiro**
Huh?
**[17:13] Tomo**
I wanna go out with you, too!
**[17:15] Tomo**
And the only one in the way of that...
**[17:18] Tomo**
is my old man!
**[17:20] Tomo**
So it's fine if I defeat you instead, right?
**[17:24] Junichiro/Goro/Akemi**
*What kind of logic is that?!*
**[17:26] Junichiro**
This is between me and your dad!
**[17:28] Tomo**
I know, I know!
**[17:30] Tomo**
I'm not trying to show up in the
middle of your fight and butt in.
**[17:33] Tomo**
But if you go down and can't get
back up, then it's my turn.
**[17:36] Tomo**
And I'll beat him, so you can lose
without worrying about anything.
**[17:40] Junichiro**
*Those eyes... She's serious.*
**[17:44] Junichiro**
Oh, really?
**[17:46] Junichiro**
*Well, now you've done it.*
**[17:48] Junichiro**
*That's a hell of a lot of pressure!*
**[17:50] Tomo**
Yo, Jun. I was watching for
a bit, and I think Dad...
**[17:54] Junichiro**
Yeah, I know.
**[17:59] Junichiro**
I'd like one more round, please.
**[18:01] Goro**
Hmph. You never learn.
**[18:04] Junichiro**
*Something's different about him today.*
**[18:07] Junichiro**
* He's taking some wide swings*
* that leave him open.*
**[18:10] Junichiro**
* If he's doing that on purpose,*
* then what he's testing is...*
**[18:17] Junichiro**
*There it is! A wide right!*
**[18:20] Junichiro**
* As often as he's doing it,*
* it's gotta be intentional.*
**[18:22] Junichiro**
* And if there's an opening,*
* I just have to take it!*
**[18:25] Junichiro**
*It's as simple as that...*
**[18:28] Junichiro**
*to say, at least!*
***SIGN*** Kashima Daimyojin
**[18:33] Junichiro**
* I can't beat him with hit-and-away*
* strikes that have no momentum.*
**[18:37] Junichiro**
* I have to step right into his reach,*
* without thinking about consequences,*
**[18:40] Junichiro**
* and deal a counter that uses*
* his own strength against him.*
**[18:42] Junichiro**
* That's probably what it's*
* gonna take to beat him.*
**[18:48] Junichiro**
*That's a real challenge for me.*
**[18:51] Junichiro**
* But it's a hurdle Tomo*
* could overcome easily.*
**[18:54] Junichiro**
*That's probably the point of this test.*
**[18:57] Junichiro**
* Every day, somewhere in this world,*
* someone is unfairly getting hurt.*
**[19:02] Junichiro**
* What if that happened*
* to someone close to me?*
**[19:07] Junichiro**
*Tomo would act faster than anyone.*
**[19:10] Junichiro**
* If I hesitate for a second,*
* she'll be beyond my reach,*
**[19:12] Junichiro**
*and I'll end up leaving her alone.*
**[19:16] Junichiro**
*I get it, old man.*
**[19:18] Junichiro**
* That's why you're so worried*
* about her, isn't it?*
**[19:22] Junichiro**
* I'm sorry the man next to*
* her is someone like me.*
**[19:27] Junichiro**
Here I come!
**[19:28] Goro**
Come.
**[19:32] Junichiro**
*I'm not like Tomo.*
**[19:34] Junichiro**
* I can't put my life on the*
* line for a total stranger.*
**[19:38] Junichiro**
*The only one I could hope to do that for...*
**[19:41] Junichiro**
*is the girl I love!*
**[19:44] Tomo**
Go, Jun!
**[20:08] Tomo**
Jun... wo—
**[20:10] Goro**
Not enough!
**[20:13] Tomo/Junichiro**
What?!
**[20:14] Akemi**
Oh, enough already!
**[20:18] Junichiro**
Huh?
**[20:20] Goro**
It's true.
**[20:22] Goro**
For just a moment, my fingers
did touch the floor.
**[20:27] Goro**
You win, Junichiro.
**[20:32] Junichiro**
I... I actually beat—
**[20:36] Tomo**
Yes!
**[20:38] Tomo**
You won! You beat him!
**[20:41] Junichiro**
C'mon, Tomo, that hurts!
**[20:44] Akemi**
Well done.
**[20:44] Tomo**
You actually did it!
**[20:47] Junichiro**
I give! I give!
**[20:51] Tomo**
So you beat Dad, right?
**[20:53] Junichiro**
Yeah.
**[20:55] Tomo**
Which means... it's okay now, right?
**[20:58] Tomo**
Y'know, to go out with m—
**[21:00] Junichiro**
Wait!
**[21:02] Junichiro**
I love you, Tomo! Please go out with me!
**[21:05] Tomo**
Huh?
**[21:07] Tomo**
What?!
**[21:09] Tomo**
I was about to say that!
Why'd you interrupt?!
**[21:12] Tomo**
Why'd *you* have to say it?!
**[21:13] Junichiro**
It's the guy's job to say that, isn't it?
**[21:16] Tomo**
There's no law saying it has to be!
**[21:18] Tomo**
If you're gonna do that, then I'm gonna...
**[21:31] Junichiro**
Wh-What did you just...
**[21:34] Tomo**
You were amazing.
**[21:35] Junichiro**
Huh?
**[21:37] Tomo**
When you beat my dad, you looked amazing.
**[21:41] Tomo**
Watching you made my heart race.
**[21:45] Tomo**
But...
**[21:45] Tomo**
You'd better be ready!
**[21:47] Tomo**
From now on, I'm gonna be making
*your* heart race a lot more!
**[21:55] Junichiro**
I guess it's on, then.
**[22:01] Tomo**
Yeah!
**[22:04] Tomo**
You'll never beat me!
**[22:10] ED**
*(This suspicious behavior is...)*
**[22:14] ED**
*Hey, you know, I'm all mixed up*
**[22:18] ED**
*It's too complicated, I'm freaking out*
**[22:23] ED**
*I want to look cute to you*
**[22:23] ED**
*(crazy, crazy, drive me crazy, and that's…)*
**[22:25] ED**
* So I'm plotting, bargaining,*
* sly, and stubborn*
**[22:29] ED**
*Dizzying love*
**[22:34] ED**
*Just tell him to look at you*
**[22:38] ED**
* And watch him stiffen up even more,*
* because you're both so awkward*
**[22:43] ED**
*What? Even if we're alike in that way*
**[22:47] ED**
* It doesn't make me happy, 'cause it*
* means our love is going nowhere*
**[22:52] ED**
* Cloudy heart, swirling emotions—*
* I sense rain coming*
**[23:00] ED**
* So I partly open my umbrella,*
* then sneakily scoot closer to you*
**[23:09] ED**
* Please notice the curl of my*
* eyelashes as I keep blinking*
**[23:13] ED**
*And don't say I'm acting weird*
**[23:16] Tomo**
*One year ago, in spring, I confessed my love.*
**[23:18] ED**
* All this plotting and bargaining*
* is my sly plan to look cute to you*
**[23:21] Tomo**
* Without the support of everyone around me,*
* this love wouldn't have come to be.*
**[23:22] ED**
* Try to solve the riddle of*
* this soft, dizzying love*
**[23:25] ED**
*(Buzzing, fidgeting)*
**[23:28] Tomo**
*I, Aizawa Tomo, am now...*
**[23:30] ED**
* Listen, I might be a bit*
* tangled in my own web now*
**[23:33] Tomo**
*the happiest I could possibly be!*
**[23:34] ED**
* But once you unravel the mystery,*
* you'll see pure lo-love*
