[00:04] Misaki
    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.
[01:10] OP
    When I throw a jab or a straight,
    it always lands
[01:16] OP
    But when I'm aiming for your heart,
    I miss every time
[01:21] OP
    Parallel, zigzagging, awkward, incoherent
[01:26] OP
    When you look my way and move closer to me
[01:31] OP
    I know it doesn't mean the same thing for you
[01:36] OP
    But I wish we could stay like this forever
[01:41] OP
    My changing feelings are driving me crazy
[01:47] OP
    The moment you turn to face me,
    take that! Telepathy
[01:53] OP
    If only we could feel the same thing
[01:58] OP
    I want to kick this pesky subtlety away
[02:03] OP
    I want to know everything,
    I want to know everything
[02:09] OP
    I can't fool you forever
[02:12] OP
    I can't keep this hidden
[02:14] OP
    I want to shout out my secret, AHHH
[02:21] OP
    Take that! Telepathy

    "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
