01x11 - It May Seem Like Hate

[bunniefuu]

Speaking of which,

it's surprising
that so many of us are the only child.

But I have a younger brother.

I have an elder sister.

I think you're right.

THE OTHER ONLY CHILDREN

But the most surprising of all
is Shu being an older brother.

What? You guys didn't know?

-A younger sister?
-Or a younger brother?

Wait. He doesn't have that many siblings.

I saw her when I went to his house.

I'm back.

I'm sorry for intruding.

Welcome back.

Don't make too much noise.

All right.

Don't touch me.

Nice to meet you.

Is she your sister?

Yes, she's three years younger.

I thought she'd act more like this.

Shu, you're back!

Although they look similar,
she's quite distant.

I see. So Iura is an older brother.

So he's an older brother.

He actually doesn't talk much at home.

I see.

Hi! Let's go eat hamburgers later!

You need to get yourself together already!

What?

I was just joking!

Seriously, Shu?

Iura sure is funny.

Hey, Yanagi.

You're always speaking so formally.

Is that so?

That's true.
It's been like that ever since we met.

I'm used to it, so it's a habit.

But you're not like that with Yuki.

Really?

Yes, the other day…

All right, see you.

Yes.

You said it! That's so cute!

Remi is something.
She's amazing in every sense.

Sorry I took so long, Hori.

What happened?

Remi is messing with Yanagi.

Oh, really?

Are you two leaving too?

Yes. See you, Yanagi.

Yes.

Bye.

Okay. See you tomorrow.

Right?

I wonder why.

That's what I'd like to know.

Then just call us
by our first name, Yanagi.

I'll call you Akane.

I get jealous
of Iura's personality in times like these.

Akane, you can call me by my first name!

I'm not quite used to that.

It's hard for me to do it so suddenly.

No! No more formalities!

-What?
-Yes, formalities are banned starting now!

What?

That hurts!

Shu, stop giving him a hard time.

No, he's not.

Well, I will try.

Actually,
this sense of distance between us…

I don't like it as well.

I want to get closer
with Ishikawa, Miyamura,

and of course, Hori too.

What are you doing?

What an interesting group of people.

Yanagi, we weren't that close before this.

But look at how close we are now.

GRABS

Not even I would dare
to do that to our president.

Iura is drawing back.

Ishikawa and Miyamura are amazing!

Sengoku, we are friends, right?

What?

We became close in no time, right?

What friends? How are we…

Of course, we are friends!

That includes Yanagi and everyone.

That's our president!

-What is this?
-In that case,

-I'll go and look for Yuki.
-let's play wrestling!

Take this!

Wait! Don't use that technique on me!

Friends…

Friends always decide things
through rock, paper, scissors.

Stop lying, Ishikawa!

That's right. Our president would lose.

I bet you're worse than I am.

Is that so?

Well…

I'm not that bad at that game.

You haven't noticed?

You always lose and buy us juice.

I'll win next time.

Well then…

Can I call you Toru, Ishikawa?

Of course.

What about me?

Akane, what about me?

One at a time.

I'll get used to it one at a time.

It's my turn next.

Ishikawa.

Will you call Yanagi
by his first name too?

It'd be weird for me
to still call him by his last name, right?

Anyway, it's hard to switch right away.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I think Yanagi
is now on my personal blacklist.

What? Why? Why the blacklist?

I'm kidding.

I'm sorry.

Don't make that kind of joke.

Miyamura.

I won't snatch it away from you.

What is it?

Did Yanagi take something from you?

What did he snatch away from you?

Is that why you're acting weird?

Shut up!

What is it?

Idiot!

Akane is a big idiot!

He ran away.

What exactly happened?

Yanagi, you look happy.

I told you that's not it.

No, but…

-Kono!
-Kono!

Look. I'm taller than him, right?

I think we're about the same height.

Why? Are you guys fighting?

No, Akane said
he grew taller all of a sudden.

Then Miyamura said I didn't.

That's fighting.

There's no way! I'm taller than Akane.

So I replied, "You're not even cm."
He then…

Miyamura, you shouldn't say such things.

But Yanagi,
you shouldn't argue with him either.

I'm sorry.

How can you apologize first?
That's so cunning.

It's not at all.

-I'm sorry.
-You did it again!

-No, I'm sincerely reflecting on myself.
-They're…

-No, I'm not referring to that.
-getting along well.

-Akane!
-Yes.

Sawada, what about this?

He's fine.

What about this?

He's all right.

It seems like you're getting used to it.

Hey, why are you
calling your friends "this"?

Right.

I wanted to see how much Sawada
is getting used to being around guys.

I can tolerate up to Sengoku.

What? I ranked pretty high.

Awesome.

Sawada, I have some snacks here.

Sawada, do you want some chocolates?

You can have them all.

She took them from my hand.

-What is this?
-You'll see. I'll catch up soon enough.

Iura, keep quiet. Don't speak a word!

What? I'm sorry, I don't hear anything!

It's Sawada.

No!

Sawada. It's me, Iura.

No!

Iura. Please learn.

Learn what?

Sawada,

Iura doesn't mean any harm.

He's a good person.

Miyamura…

No, it's not about his personality.

I'm sorry, Iura. There's nothing I can do.

I can't stand loud people too.

My throat feels itchy.

Why? Did you catch a cold?

You're coughing.

I don't have the chills.
I just can't speak well.

You look normal to me.

But my whole body feels tired.

-You're sick! Go home!
-You're sick! Go home!

You obviously have a fever.

No one checks temperature like this!

Can't you be more gentle?

My throat is k*lling me.

Go home early if you're struggling.

Be careful not to pass it on to others.

CHEMISTRY LAB

It's so heavy.

HELPING SINCE HE'S PASSING BY THE LAB
BUT COULDN'T TELL HER

SURPRISED AS HE TOOK IT
FROM HER SUDDENLY

Wait… Hey…

CHEMISTRY LAB

Hey…

I…

Be careful not to pass it on to others.

Hey…

What?

IURA IS ANNOYING! SCARY! GO AWAY!

I recovered right away after going home,
gargling, and sleeping early.

Congrats.

Congrats.

At least complete the word!

But it's weird to get congratulated
for recovering from a cold.

Your sister has entrance exams, right?
You didn't infect her, did you?

Sawada?

STUDENT COUNCIL ROOM

I…

Are you looking for Iura?

What? Is Iura mad?

I think so.

Iura?

Does he get mad?

I've never seen him get mad.

AND I MADE HIM MAD

Wait. Is he really mad?

He seems to be having fun.

I think he's fine.

You don't want Iura to hate you?

Wait.

It's Kono and Sawada.

Miyamura is not here but Hori is.

What were you talking about
with Kono? If it's a secret, I'm sorry.

Oh, how was yesterday?

The chemistry lab is quite far
from the second-year classrooms.

I thought it'd be bad
if you were late because of that.

You're annoying!

She hates me again.

Iura.

Your timing when you talk is irritating.

Even my timing is off?

Is that so?

You wish to go to East High?

Yes.

East High?

Do you have to go there?

What?

No, it's just that…

You should find a school
with a lower ranking.

Since your results are average

and you don't excel
in a particular subject.

Though that's a good thing.

East High?

Please reconsider, okay?

I'll see…

Moto, did you see Grandpa?

No.

Is that so?

Never mind then.

I'm not having dinner today.

Why?

My teacher laughed at me when I told him
which high school I wanted to go to.

Why are you not eating dinner
because of that?

You're missing the point!

Eat your dinner.

You have to eat your dinner.

All right.

Moto, which school are you aiming for?

Don't laugh at me.

I won't. I just want to know where.

East High.

How is that funny?

I thought it was a school
with a funny name.

He didn't laugh
because of the name, it's because of…

my grades.

Why? Are they so bad that it's funny?

You know…

Your textbooks and reference books
are always all over the place.

I saw it.

MIDDLE SCHOOL HISTORY
HIGH SCHOOL ENTRANCE EXAM MATH

The pages are crumpled
because you keep leafing through them.

There are highlights and notes everywhere.

You work hard.

Which teacher laughed at you?

Bring him here.

I will b*at him up.

I will b*at him up for you.

Why…

Why…

My grades keep dropping…

Even my teacher said it's impossible

and that I should reconsider.

All my friends
meet their standards, but I…

But I…

What should I do, Shu?

What should I do?

I can't do it no matter how hard I try.

I…

East High's uniform is kind of boring.

If you don't make it,
you can always come to Katagiri…

even though it's lower in ranking.

The uniform is quite cute.

You'd look nice in it.

Just give it your best sh*t.

Eat a lot for dinner, okay?

Hori.

I have a favor to ask.

Motoko.

Iu… Your brother asked you to come, right?

Yes.

Come in.

I'm sorry for intruding.

My room is opposite the stairs.

Sit wherever you like.

I'll go and get some drinks.

Okay.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi!

Hi.

Are they all siblings?

You want me to tutor your sister?

More like I want you to see
if she can get into East High.

If that's the case, it's fine.

Just tell her if she can't do it.

Are you sure?

I'm joking.

Please be her study partner,

at least until her entrance exams.

All right.

That's the expression of an older brother.

Sorry for making you wait.

Do you drink hot cocoa?

Thank you.

You and your brother are similar.

Do you hear that a lot?

My brother and I
are the quiet and gloomy type.

Really?

I brought a lot of textbooks

and some notes…

We won't need them today.

It's hard to focus when you're studying
in a stranger's house.

Let's talk.

Today's a day off.

A day off?

We'll study when you are less nervous.

If you want to talk to more people,

we have a high schooler
and an elementary student here too.

Miyamura, who is that girl?

She's Motoko, our friend's sister.

She came to study.

Today's cupcake flavor is banana.

Let's show her some support.

Okay!

Really?

Middle schoolers
have cell phones nowadays?

Everyone has one.

But I haven't really given
my e-mail to my classmates.

So only my brother messages me.

You two must be really close.

We're not!

His messages are short.

If I come home late,
he sends me angry texts,

and he even texts me
when we are both in the same house.

You guys are close.

I wonder if he hates me.

GOOD LUCK CHARM

Hey, Shu.

How long are you going to think?

Which one do I buy
to pass the entrance exams?

Idiot! Choose it yourself!

Please give me the biggest one.

I'm sorry. They are all the same size.

Give me the most expensive one then.

CHARM FOR EXAM SUCCESS

Is it for your sister?

I wonder if she'll take it.

You bought it for her, didn't you?

It will be fine.

It's snowing!

I…

I…

I hope she…

I hope he…

-…doesn't hate me.
-…doesn't hate me.
