That's the kind of publicity
short we third-years produced.
[02:29] Jin
We'll play it at the student assembly and
try to get as many new members as we can.

[02:55] Giichi
There's no way you'll be able to trick
new students with such a trashy video.
[03:00] Runa
Hey!
[03:03] Jin
I can't hear you.
[03:05] Jin
Mind repeating that for me,
second-year student Ichikawa Giichi?
[03:10] Giichi
I'll say it as many times as you need.
[03:12] Giichi
There's no way we'll get new members
with a recruitment video this stupid!
[03:16] Jin
What was that? What's wrong with it?
[03:18] Jin
The third-years put everything we had into
making it. You need to take another look.
[03:22] Giichi
That's the best the third-years got?
Quit screwing with me.
[03:27] Giichi
Script, structure, direction...
it's all literal garbage!

[03:31] Chiaki
Ugh. Here we go again.
[03:33] Giichi
And what did you say? "You can become
whatever you want in the film club"?
[03:37] Giichi
The hell you can!
[03:39] Runa
Give it a rest.
[03:39] Giichi
Most of the members have to work their
asses off doing behind-the-scenes work.
[03:43] Giichi
The only one starring anything is you,
with your inflated head!
[03:47] Giichi
You idiot!
[03:50] Jin
Huh.
[03:52] Jin
So you're gonna stand there and insult
all the third-years, Ichikawa Giichi?!
[03:53] others
Hey, now! Drop it!
[03:56] Jin
I'll never forgive you for that!
[03:58] Runa
Hey, Jin, just let it go!
[04:01] Giichi
You arrogant moron! I don't
give a damn if you forgive me!
[04:05] Runa
Ichikawa, that's enough!
[04:06] Jin
Idiots? Morons?
[04:08] Jin
That isn't how you speak talk to
your senpai, Ichikawa Giichi!
[04:12] Giichi
Shut up! And quit calling me
by my full name!
[04:15] Jin
Watch your language, second-year!
[04:17] Tsuchiya
Jin, come on! Drop it!
[04:19] Chiaki
Don't put your hands on him!
[04:19] Runa
This is all your fault!
[04:20] Rudy
Quit fighting!
[04:22] Jin
I will probably never forget
this moment as long as I live.
[04:26] Jin
All the yelling faded into the distance
[04:30] Jin
and everything moved slowly.
[04:33] Jin
Everything, including our thoughts.
Slow, slow, slow.
[04:39] Jin
Like it was shot at high speed,
at 960 frames per second.
[04:43] Jin
If we had a camera running,
it would have been a great shot.
[04:49] Jin
I'll definitely use this in my next movie.
[04:58] Jin
Wh-What the hell are you doing,
Ichikawa Giichi?!
[05:01] Giichi
H-How dare you?! That's what
I should be asking you!
[05:05] Jin
This happened in spring, at the
beginning of the new school year.
[05:10] Chiaki
I was seriously worried! Ichikawa and Jin
looked like they were ready to explode!
[05:15] Tsuchiya
And Jin was the one
to lose his cool for a change.
[05:18] Chiaki
He should've just ignored him like always.
[05:21] Rei
It's your fault for letting him get to you.
[05:24] Chiaki
And then they kissed! Just like a BL.

[05:31] Rei
It's a kind of love story between guys.
[05:36] Tsuchiya
Don't underclassmen always declare
their love for you, Jin? It's like that.
[05:39] Chiaki
Yup! 'Cause he's the most popular guy
at Midorigaoka High!
[05:43] Chiaki
Sucks that it's a boys school, though.
[05:45] Jin
Yeah, I am popular. I've never
been without a girlfriend.
[05:50] Jin
They all break up with me quick, though.
[05:54] Jin
They pick me for my looks and dump me
when they realize I'm not what they imagined.
[06:00] Chiaki
Well, that's because you're a narcissist.
[06:03] Tsuchiya
Yeah, like the way you're trying to
get us to feel sorry for you right now.
[06:06] Rei
All you've got going for you
are your looks and rich parents.
[06:10] Rudy
And you're boring.
[06:11] Chiaki
You think you run everything.
[06:14] Jin
Damn, guys! That's too mean!
[06:15] Tsuchiya
Oh, right. Speaking of BL, isn't the
Ichikawa crew shooting a BL movie?
[06:20] Chiaki
Yeah, I heard.
[06:21] Chiaki
Maybe they think an outsider film will give
them a better shot at the festival prize.
[06:26] Rei
No, Ichikawa's delicate style would
fit perfectly with a romantic drama.
[06:31] Rei
And boys' love is an interesting theme.
[06:33] Rei
If we aren't careful, we might
just lose to the second-years.
[06:37] Tsuchiya
Yeah, people all around school are
talking about it. Everyone's curious.
[06:42] Chiaki
And their lead actor is an absolute
stud. He totally stands out.
[06:47] Rei
Ichikawa's got enough of a reason to brag.
He's gotten a lot better over the last year.
[06:53] Jin
Don't worry about it.
[06:54] others
Huh?
[06:55] Jin
Forget about the second-years.
We'll do our own thing as always.
[06:58] Jin
We'll shoot our movie. That's how
we've done it for three years.
[07:03] Jin
We've got Rei's visual techniques,
Tsuchiya's camera,
[07:07] Jin
Chiaki's ambitious assistant directing,
Rudy's careful archiving,
[07:12] Jin
and all the club members ready to support me.
[07:16] Jin
Without them, we'd never finish the film.
[07:21] Jin
And finally, the president and
director, screenwriter-slash-star,
[07:25] Jin
and the sexiest guy at Midorigaoka
High School, me! Kikuchihara Jin!
[07:32] Jin
If we work together, nothing can stop us.
I can't imagine us losing.
[07:36] Tsuchiya
Yeah, Jin's exactly right.
[07:39] Tsuchiya
Let's make a good feature for the festival.
[07:41] Chiaki
Yeah, of course we will.
[07:44] Chiaki
The third-year crew will start
filming next week as scheduled.
[07:49] Chiaki
I'll let the other members
know all the details.
[07:51] Jin
Go for it.
[07:52] Chiaki
Bye-bye! I'll see you at the dorm, though.
[07:54] Tsuchiya
Well, yeah. We all live there, after all.
[07:59] Rudy
See you later!
[07:59] Jin
Yeah, see you later.
[08:02] Jin
Rei, we should get going.
[08:03] Jin
Come on, let's take care
of the rest at the dorm.
[08:06] Rei
You're a liar, Jin.
[08:08] Jin
Huh?
[08:09] Rei
I know you're watching Ichikawa
closer than anybody else.
[08:15] Jin
Don't be stupid. Like I said
a minute ago, he isn't our enemy.
[08:19] Rei
Maybe you think you're hiding it from me,
but I can see right through you.
[08:25] Rei
Ever since Ichikawa joined,
you've seen him as a rival.
[08:28] Rei
Almost like you knew
each other from the start.
[08:32] Rei
I've never asked you this before, but is
there something between you and Ichikawa?
[08:38] Jin
Rei, we've known each other a long
time, right? Since we were kids.
[08:42] Jin
You know secrets about me
that nobody else does.
[08:48] Jin
I don't want to hide anything from you. So...
[08:51] Jin
I'll talk about it when I'm able to.
[08:54] Rei
Got it.
[08:56] Rei
Anyway, that aside, you're gonna
have to make up. You and Ichikawa.
[09:01] Jin
Why do I have to make up with that jerk?
[09:06] Rei
Oh, come on.
[09:08] Rei
When we're done making this movie, we're out.
[09:11] Rei
And then we have to recommend
a second-year for the next president.
[09:16] Rei
Ichikawa's the only one who even comes close.
[09:19] Jin
Actually, I think so, too.
[09:22] Rei
Make up with him, then.
[09:26] Rei
If you don't clear the air, it sets
a bad example for the others.
[09:31] Jin
You don't have to tell me.
SIGN Faculty Room
[09:35] teacher
Kikuchihara, you're in the dorm?
[09:37] teacher
I heard you don't have a roommate.
[09:40] Jin
That's right.
[09:40] Jin
During my first year, my roommate
left on an ice hockey exchange to Canada.
[09:45] Jin
Since then, I've been using
a double room by myself.
[09:48] teacher
In that case, there's a second-year student
whose guardian has to be hospitalized,
[09:52] teacher
and he needs some help.
[09:55] teacher
Sounds like he was living with his grandpa,
[09:57] teacher
but his grandpa needs surgery
and will be in the hospital until fall.
[10:01] teacher
Don't you think it'd be hard
for him to get by alone?
[10:03] Jin
Are you going to put him in my room?
[10:06] teacher
Yeah. I know you're in different years,
but I'm sure you'll get along with him.
[10:10] Jin
All right. I'll take care of it.
[10:13] teacher
He should be moving in today.
[10:15] Jin
What's that?
[10:17] Jin
If you had told me yesterday,
I could have at least cleaned up a bit!
[10:23] Jin
I wonder if we're gonna get along.
[10:25] Jin
I gotta protect my image, and
come off as cheery and smart as usual.
[10:29] Jin
I'll have to show him that I take authority
as a leader but have a kind personality.
[10:34] Jin
I have to keep playing that role,
even in the dorm.
[10:38] Jin
Acting, hiding my real self.
[10:41] Jin
Maybe that's why my friendships don't last...
The thought popped into my head.
[10:48] Jin
Maybe I'm just lonely.
[10:50] Jin
Anyway, I can't let my
guard down for a while.
[10:57] Jin
I've got to put up with this until fall.
[11:03] Jin
Wha—?
[11:05] Jin
S-Sorry!
[11:08] Jin
Wait. What the hell am I hiding from?
This is my room!
[11:15] Giichi
I'm good. You can come in.
[11:17] Jin
I can come in? This is my room...
[11:21] Jin
I-Ichikawa Giichi?!
[11:25] Rei
So Ichikawa moved in to your room, Jin?
[11:29] Jin
How did you know?
It only happened yesterday.
SIGN Rich
Sauce
[11:31] Rei
I heard from the underclassmen.
Chiaki and the others know, too.
[11:35] Jin
Huh...
[11:36] Jin
Sounds like everyone except me
gets along with the underclassmen.
[11:41] Jin
What?
[11:42] Rei
About Ichikawa. Don't try to take
care of him. Just leave him alone.
[11:47] Jin
Fine. Don't be so nosy.
I don't have that much time, anyway.
[11:52] Rei
If you say so.
[11:54] Jin
Look, we're third-years now.
[11:58] Jin
You think I have time to waste
on some second-year prick?
[12:02] Jin
With club activities and exam studying,
I cannot waste one single second!
[12:07] Jin
Let's go, Rei.
[12:08] Rei
All right.
[12:12] Jin
I wrote down some tips about the dorm.
[12:16] Jin
Feel free to use it.
[12:19] Rei
See? You are taking care of him.
[12:22] Jin
I can't help it! You want me to ignore
the guy when he's right in front of me?
[12:28] Giichi
A cheat sheet?

Huh? Yeah.
[12:31] Jin
Just some tricks to help you get along here
that the RA would never tell you.
[12:37] Jin
This might be none of my business...
[12:40] Jin
Ichikawa?
[12:41] Giichi
Hmm?
[12:42] Jin
Things with your grandpa must be tough.
[12:45] Jin
If you need any help, feel free
to ask. I'll do what I can.
[12:49] Jin
Hmm. Will that tick him off?
[12:52] Jin
He doesn't seem the type to want help.
[12:54] Jin
But still, as his senpai,
I have to at least try.
[13:00] Giichi
Thank you.
[13:02] Jin
Whoa. He's suddenly being straight with me.
[13:05] Jin
Well, it's the least I can do.
[13:08] Jin
And here, as a sign of friendship.
[13:13] Giichi
What is this thing?
[13:14] Jin
A gyoza cushion.
[13:16] Jin
It's from my family business.
It's our mascot, Gyozaman.
[13:19] Giichi
Huh. Sure is a cute little guy.
[13:23] Giichi
What is your family business?
[13:24] Jin
We have a butcher shop.
[13:28] Giichi
Hold on a second.
[13:29] Giichi
There's a pig inside the gyoza wrapper!
[13:32] Jin
Yeah. The filling is pork, after all.
[13:36] Giichi
I guess you're right. How cruel.
[13:40] Jin
That's right.
[13:42] Jin
The world is cruel. It's eat or be eaten.
[13:46] Jin
But isn't that what gives life its sparkle?
[13:52] Giichi
You're so full of yourself.
[13:56] Jin
Oh. This is quite peculiar.
[13:58] Jin
He's actually sort of adorable.
[14:01] Jin
And here I was convinced
that he hated my guts.
[14:04] Jin
Making up might actually
be easier than I imagined.
[14:08] Jin
Or so I thought, at first.
[14:11] Chiaki
Scene one. Let's get rolling. Ready!
[14:15] Rei
Jin, have any of your face
tracking markers moved?
[14:19] Jin
They're good.
[14:21] Giichi
Grind, grind, grind...
[14:23] Jin
He's glaring at me with all of the hate
and resentment in the world.
[14:28] Jin
Hmm?
[14:29] Mao
Hey.
[14:29] Giichi
Screw it up. Screw it up.
Screw it up. Screw it up.
[14:30] Runa
Cut it out!
[14:31] Jin
Now wait one second.
What's with those hands?
[14:33] Jin
He's totally trying to curse me!
[14:36] Jin
Damn you, Ichikawa!
[14:38] Jin
All yesterday, you were pretending
to be my darling underclassman!
[14:41] Chiaki
What, the second-years?
[14:43] Chiaki
They came to help, so
we're letting them observe.
[14:47] Chiaki
If that's a problem, I'll make them leave.
[14:49] Jin
No, it's fine. Let's give them an eyeful.
[14:52] Jin
Pay attention, second-years!
[14:54] Jin
And try to learn something!
[14:57] Chiaki
Okay, let's do a take.

android Jerome lands on Earth.
[15:03] Chiaki
Rolling. Ready...
[15:07] Chiaki
Start!
[15:14] Jin
When I open the door, is he going to
come at me like in a horror movie?
[15:22] Giichi
Oh. Welcome home.
[15:25] Jin
Thanks.
[15:27] Jin
So, which is it?
[15:30] Jin
At school, he acts like
my rage-filled nemesis.
[15:35] Jin
But when we're in the room...
[15:37] Jin
There were snacks in the lounge.
Maybe someone brought them from home.
[15:42] Giichi
Thanks. These are really good.
[15:45] Jin
Yeah. They're from Kyushu.
[15:48] Jin
You ever been to Kyushu?
[15:49] Giichi
No.
[15:52] Jin
His voice is so relaxing.
SIGN Potato
[15:56] Jin
Here, Ichikawa just sits next
to me and chats.
[15:59] Jin
So which is the real him?
[16:02] Jin
Does he hate me or not?
[16:06] Chiaki
So how are things going with Ichikawa?
[16:09] Jin
Hmm. I guess you could say
we're getting along.
[16:14] Rei
But when he comes to the set, he acts like
he always does. Always glaring and stuff.
[16:20] Jin
At least he's helping out, though.
[16:24] Jin
He actually does good work.
[16:26] Tsuchiya
What do you guys talk about
when you're alone?
[16:29] Jin
Well, he's always lying and making up
excuses for being late with editing.
[16:34] (Flashback) Giichi
I'm working on it!
[16:35] Runa
Don't lie to me! I'm sending Mao to check!
[16:42] Jin
Listening to that always cracks me up.
[16:44] Chiaki
Sounds like you're getting along fine.
[16:47] Chiaki
Here I thought you'd be
at each others' throats.
[16:49] Jin
I honestly never hated him.
[16:51] Jin
I have no idea how he really feels, though.
[16:56] Chiaki
You should just ask him. "Why are you
always on my case," you know?
[17:05] Jin
If I could, this would be so much easier.
[17:08] Giichi
Welcome home.
[17:09] Giichi
What's up? Why are you staring?
[17:11] Jin
Oh, it's nothing. What are you reading?
[17:14] Giichi
Hmm?
[17:14] Giichi
It's a BL manga!
My little sister sent it to me.
SIGN The Nurse's Office
[17:19] Jin
Huh. So that's a BL?
[17:22] Jin
I want to read one. Can I borrow a volume?
[17:24] Giichi
What? Seriously?
[17:27] Jin
Yeah. This one good?
[17:29] Giichi
Hold it! Is this your first BL, Kikuchihara?
[17:32] Jin
That's Kikuchihara-senpai to you.
Yeah, my first one.
[17:36] Giichi
Then this is a great responsibility.
Hold on...
[17:41] Giichi
You okay with a dirty one?
[17:43] Jin
Does it matter?
[17:44] Jin
I'm good with whatever.
I'm just gonna take a look.
[17:47] Giichi
You can't just read whatever, idiot!
Your first one is important!
[17:51] Giichi
Maybe you should start
with a classic, pure romance.
[17:53] Giichi
Or one where a down-and-out slut gets
picked up by a top and falls deep in love.
[17:58] Giichi
Yeah, that's the one.
[18:00] Giichi
Wait, you like sci-fi. Maybe a fantasy
setting like the Omegaverse would be okay.
[18:06] Giichi
I wonder if I boxed those up.
[18:08] Jin
I don't have the slightest clue
what you just said.
SIGN A Provided Lady
[18:12] Giichi
Here you go. Read this.
[18:13] Giichi
I thought about it carefully,
and this is the one for you.
[18:16] Giichi
The Omega bottom has a teardrop
birthmark just like yours!
[18:21] Jin
I-Is that a good thing? All right.
[18:24] Giichi
The "top" gives it and the "bottom" takes it!
That's all you need to remember!
[18:29] Jin
You're too close.
[18:31] Jin
Are you going to watch over
my shoulder the whole time?
[18:39] Jin
I'm so relieved they finally found happiness!
[18:42] Giichi
Right?
[18:43] Giichi
The solitary bottom finally finds a
partner! Now that's a dramatic BL!
[18:47] Giichi
It ends with nothing but happiness!
This is why I can't quit BL!
[18:52] Jin
It seems like a simple tale
of the bottom's salvation,
[18:55] Jin
but it's also about the top
transcending his own turmoil.
[18:59] Jin
They had to be there for each other.
[19:01] Jin
By upholding each other,
they help themselves grow.
[19:05] Giichi
That's the way! They find salvation in
each other and it purifies their souls!
[19:10] Giichi
They were each the missing piece
that the other lacked! Soulmates!
[19:14] Giichi
Oh, this one actually has a sequel.
[19:19] Giichi
What is it?
[19:22] Jin
I always thought you hated me,
so it's fun to be able to talk like this.
[19:27] Giichi
What do you even mean? I don't hate you.
[19:30] Jin
You expect me to believe that?
[19:32] Jin
You're always giving me hell
during club stuff, staring me down.
[19:36] Giichi
Well, that's because your movies are shit.
[19:39] Jin
Why, you...
[19:41] Giichi
We're in the film club, right?
[19:43] Giichi
I'm only talking about the movies.
I don't hate you.
[19:47] Jin
I'm not sure if that makes me happy or not.
[19:50] Jin
But...
[19:53] Jin
I guess that's just the way you are.
[19:56] Jin
But listen up, calling it "shit"
and "idiotic" and stuff is dumb.
[20:00] Jin
If you want to criticize my work,
then use your words.
[20:03] Giichi
What? But I'm just...
[20:04] Jin
Stop right there. We aren't at club now.
[20:09] Giichi
You're right. Okay, where were we?
[20:11] Giichi
Hold on a sec. I think
I brought it with me...
[20:15] Jin
Can I just read this one?
[20:17] Giichi
Go ahead.
[20:19] Giichi
That's strange. Did I send it
back to my sister?
[20:23] Jin
I don't want to talk
about movies in our room.
[20:26] Jin
We don't have a lot of time together.
There's no point wasting it on fighting.
[20:32] Jin
Also...
[20:33] Giichi
Oh! Crap!
[20:35] Jin
When Ichikawa isn't going on about movies,
I kind of think... I really think...
[20:36] Giichi
I'm trying to find one
and start reading another.
[20:40] Jin
No, I'm sure...
[20:45] Giichi
Found it!
[20:47] Giichi
This one's special because it's dirtier
and more intense than the first volume.
[20:51] Jin
That makes it special?
[20:53] Giichi
Dirtier is better, right?
Anyway, I like dirty stories.
[20:58] Jin
O-Oh, yeah?
[21:00] Jin
I guess, well... maybe I like them, too.
[21:05] Giichi
So what's your favorite type?
[21:11] Giichi
I like stories where the bottom
starts begging for it.
[21:19] Giichi
Speaking of which,
didn't we kiss once before?
[21:30] Jin
A dream? Starting where?
[21:35] Jin
When Ichikawa isn't going on about movies,
I kind of think... I really think...
[21:42] Jin
No, I'm sure that I...
[21:44] Jin
like him.
[21:49] Jin
I like him?!
