(Elementary school grade class )

Director: Naoko Yamada

Hey, everybody sit down.

We have a new classmate as of today.

What?

Lucky you! A girl.

I'm not interested at all.

Well,

then introduce yourself.

Huh?

Oh...

"For written communication"

"Nice to meet you. I am Shoko Nishimiya."

"I want to be friends with you all with the help of this notebook."

"Please use the notebook to talk with me."

"I can't hear."

Unbelievable...

Weird!

"Hi, Nishimiya-san. I am Miki Kawai."

Hi, nice to meet you.

Hey, Nishimiya-san, do you speak Japanese?

Nao-chan, how do you say...

"Once again, please."

Aha...

Huh?

Okay.

How do your friends call you?

Give up, give up!

I see, "Sho-chan".

Huh?

That's identical with Ishida.

She is called Sho-chan, too.

That's funny.

What? Not funny at all!

Please write down what I'm saying.

From page to , and parts of page

cover the scope of the next small test.

Hey.

Give me your notebook.

First, the fulcrum. The pivot point that supports the lever.

Next, the effort point. The position where force is applied.

The position that carries the weight is the load point.

With these points,

Nishimiya-san,

You started too soon.

I will

teach you the timing, okay?

Then, let's start again from the beginning.

How can we participate in the coming chorus competition?

We already lost, didn't we?

That's the penalty for saying weird things!

Ouch, ouch!

Ouch!

So today

I missed what the teacher said again, due to her...

I'll lend you my notebook.

Thank you.

I am not wrong.

That's why I will never apologize.

What a poor reading performance, Ueno.

Oh...

Damn. That's enough. Next.

The hell with it, ugly-glasses.

Nishimiya.

From this sentence.

Stop to be ztubborn about zuch zings,

Mom zayz dizguzdingly,

but I have no indenzion to zay zorry.

Okay. Good. Next, Ishida.

Really? Unbelievable.

Hey, Ishida!

Hahaha...

Please let me know what you are talking about.

Let's go home.

Bye-bye, Nishimiya-san.

Hey you,

If you keep this up, won't you frustrate all classmates?

What?

frie-nds...

What?

Disgusting!

I'm Kita, from a special education class.

Today I want to talk about "Shuwa" - sign language.

Written as "speaking with hands" and pronounced "Shu-wa".

As the word says, Shuwa means speaking using your hands.

Isn't it amazing?

Sign... language...

So I propose a -minute lesson of sign language everyday morning,

to understand Shoko-chan even better.

Teacher.

Yes?

Isn't it enough to use her notebook?

It's easier for Shoko-chan to use sign language.

It's easier for me to use the notebook.

I'll learn sign language.

"Teach me the signs for Sahara Miyoko"

Sa - ara

I - jo - ko

Got it!

Sa - a ...

Good job getting brownie points.

I love him so much. He is so handsome.

Agree!

He will be in the drama next week. Must watch!

Don't you think her clothes are ugly?

Stop it, Nao-chan.

The author described through this work,...

After the experiment, manganese dioxide should be...

Hirose, you write on that side.

Ni-shi-mi-ya.

What are you doing, Ishida ?

Isn't it better to stop that?

Star.

Ishida, you overdid it.

No, no, that's how it should be.

You're a bad guy.

Nice, nice.

It's really nice.

Congrats, Nishimiya-san. Sahara-san went away because of you!

Congrats, Nishimiya-san. Sahara-san went away because of you!

That's so mean! Who would write such nasty things!

So awful!

I... will... kindly...

erase... it... for... you...

Okay.

All erased.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Let's go.

Joumon-era was...

Hey, Ishida.

Class is not over.

I see. I'm sorry.

Uhm... Now I have lost my train of thought..

Well, what kind of house were they living in? They lived...

Quite surprised, aren't you?

Hey, Nishimiya-san.

Does this mean you can actually hear?

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing myself.

Could I take a look a them, please?

Ueno.

What is it? Gimme.

Oh, what is this?

It's filthy!

Ouch!

Wh-What?

Oh my god,

Nishimiya-san, are you okay?

What should I do....?

Nishimiya-san.

Hey, you went too far.

Crap, so annoying, ugly-glasses.

What? Go away.

Don't interrupt.

What is she doing?

Let's go home.

"I'm sorry."

You liar!

If you want to tell me something, go ahead!

What!?

Stop it, you are disgusting!

Oh, Nishimiya-san is funny!

Shoya, you are blushing, aren't you?

No, I'm not!

Let's go.

Huh?

Ugh. Is she serious, Nishimiya-san?

It's unbelievable!

See you tomorrow, Shoya.

Well, today I have a topic I need to talk about with all of you.

It's concerning Nishimiya-san, who is absent today.

Yesterday we had a call from Nishimiya-san's mother.

She said eight of Nishimiya-san's hearing aids have gone missing

or been damaged in just months.

Nishimiya-san's mother worries she is bullied at school.

If any of you know anything about the bullying

or similar harassment of Nishimiya-san, please let us know.

We hear her hearing aids are very expensive.

So please confess before your parents get in trouble.

Hey, Ishida.

We all know it was you.

Stand up right now!

Yes!

Ueno.

What do you think, being the person next to him?

Well... so...

Maybe he played a joke on her or something?

What?

How about you, Shimada?

I've been saying:

"Hey, stop it" to him,

but Shoya didn't stop.

What!?

Hey, Shimada!

You did it with me together, remember?

And girls said bad things about her so many times.

Hey!

Especially Ueno and Kawai did.

What!?

You are so cruel...

I never do these things.

Why are you telling such a lie?

Ishida-kun, you are so mean.

He made her cry.

Huh? Why is it here...?

I see. Yes.

I'm very sorry.

I see. I see.

Thank you for calling.

Shoya.

Stop right now, Shoya!

Shoya.

I got a call from school.

You...

Why are you so wet?

Hush. Jumped into the river as always.

Wait, Shoya.

Did you cause trouble for someone?

I don't know.

Is what your teacher said true?

Y-Yes!

Prepare to go out immediately. We have to meet Nishimiya-san's.

(Mizuho Bank)

Sho-chan, let's go home.

Be a good child from tomorrow on, okay?

Huh? They're missing...

Great men and women experienced hardship, and...

Huh?

What?

What is she doing?

Hey, what are you doing with my desk?

What were you doing. Disgusting!

Same smile again.

Don't pretend to be a good girl!

What?

If you want to tell me something, speak up!

Every time you show that disgusting smile instead.

You are angry, aren't you!?

Hey!

Say something!

Ouch!

What you are doing!

What do you mean!

Doing my bezd...

I'm doing my bezd!

What are you saying!

What!

I don't understand what you're saying!

"Disappear"

Crap...

She is so disgusting...

Nishimiya-san has transferred to another school.

Huh.

Hey, the class journal was not submitted today.

Who is in charge?

And who takes care of the flowers?

"Sign language study club"

Hi, Shoko-chan.
Hello.

Nishimiya!

Do you remember me?

I was your classmate in elementary school...

Shoya Ishida.

Nishimiya?

Wait!

Nishimiya!

Where...?

Nishimiya.

H-Hi.

Well...

Here it is.

I came here to give it to you.

This is what you left behind.

Did you ask "why sign language"?

I learned it.

And, here...

You might not want to see this again.

Well...

I... and...

Nishimiya,

can we be

friends?

Damn, what am I saying!?

H-Hey, you said so in the past.

I finally understood what you said...

Oh... Please don't cry.

Please don't cry, Nishimiya.

Can I be friends with you?

Sho-tan,

Sho-tan,

Sho-tan, wake up!

Breakfast!

Sho-chan, wake up!

Good morning, Maria.

Sho-tan woke up!

I'm off.

Bye-bye, mommy!

Here, Sho-chan.

Let's eat.

Dig in!

Huh?

Why are you smiling so much?

Because of...

this!

Oh.

You worked hard,

and you sold everything, even the beddings.

I'm very happy for all of your efforts.

By the way, Sho-chan,

why did you try to k*ll yourself?

Yah, actually,

it's a long story you know,

but it comes down to...

I knew it...

Huh!?

I knew it!

I knew something was going on with you!

Your room was extraordinarily vacant, your phone was out of service,

and the calendar...

Pages after April were torn off...

Right now, promise you'll never try to k*ll yourself or I'll burn this.

These , , yen you worked so hard for!

Hey, are you listening to me!?

Huh!?

Don't be stupid, mom...

You are stupid, what an ungrateful child you are!

Hey, well, ah...

Sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I'll stop.

I'll stop. I'm sorry.

You'll stop what, speak clearly!

I'll stop trying to k*ll myself!

I'll stop trying to k*ll myself!

Really?

Really.

Okay, that's a promise.

Hey! Look out!

Ouch!

Hey, water, water!

Yesterday, I thought

of k*lling myself by jumping into the river from a very high bridge.

The reason I went to meet Nishimiya was to have kind of a ceremony before it.

It was the greatest test of courage in my whole life.

But the story changed...

"Friend"

Shame! Why did I say such a thing!?

When I just entered junior high school, Shimada had said:

You should better stay away from the guy Shoya Ishida.

He is...

a bully.

What I did will come back to me.

I fully realized

that I had to take responsibility for what I had done.

And I was isolated.

Good morning.

Well then,

translate these sentences by the next lesson.

Ishida-kun.

H-Hi.

Kawai...

Can I collect your math homework, if it's done?

Oh... sorry, I forgot.

Okay, I see.

Please finish it soon, the deadline is approaching.

Yes, I will. Sorry.

Let's have lunch outside.

"Ishida-kun is always alone as you can see."

"Everyone knows it."

Oh, really?

"Oh, he is looking at us as always."

"Doesn't he feel desperate, always being alone?"

"He will be same as now, forever."

"Why is he still living?"

H-Hi, here it is.

I just bought this limited edition, and...

Oops.

Then I stopped being a fan of them.

Me too.

That's the truth...

Huh?

I remember that hair.

Who is he?

By the way,

can I meet Nishimiya again?

She said she feeds carp in the river.

What do I say when I meet her?

Can I just see her to apologize for what I did?

She said she will be there every Tuesday.

Is it weird to visit her again?

I'm home.

Sho-chan?

Uh!

You startled me.

What?

I'm very sorry for what happened this morning.

I burned the money you worked so hard for.

But I don't want to use any of the money

you saved to die.

Sorry, I'll save up again.

Thanks.

No need to hurry this time, okay?

You are hungry, huh? Let's have dinner.

Hungry!

Tuesday.

Hey you, why don't you lend me your bike?

Me?

Oh, the guy I remembered.

I left something behind, I want to go home to get it.

Huh? What do you mean?

You should use your own.

I ask you 'cause I don't have my own.

Stop it please.

Hey, don't resist.

Oops. Stop it!

Someone please help me!

Someone!

Oh, dear.

Please, please help me! Help! Help!

Shut up!

Stop resisting!

H-Hey.

I-I'll lend you my own.

Really!? You are awesome!

It was torn off.

Actually, today of all days is Tuesday.

Does that mean I should not see her again?

Of course I could still go on foot,

but it seems I would be well advised not to go.

Reason.

Something very smart,

and a natural reason to see her again.

A discount coupon for freshly baked tasty bread ?

That's it!

Well... Is Nishimiya-san here?

No, she isn't

She is, isn't she?

No, she isn't

Shoko Nishimiya isn't here.

Sorry but,

are you really a friend of Shoko?

Bye.

Nothing.

I found a rat.

A big creepy one.

Don't be afraid. It won't come again.

Friend...

Huh?

Why... is he here?

Oh, it's him!

Ishida-kun!

Look! Look!

The bike! It's yours, isn't it?

Good timing!

Huh, it was so lucky that your address was written on the bike.

Where... Where was the bike?

It was abandoned in a rice paddy field!

I looked for it everywhere!

I'm glad I got it back to you!

Is something wrong, Ishida-kun?

H-Hey

Well...

Your name?

Oops! I'm Nagatsuka!

I am sitting just behind you in class.

Oh, I see.

Don't you want to eat some bread?

It's so good, Nagatsuka-kun.

Ishida-kun.

Ishida-kun!

Good morning!

H-Hi, good morning!

Ishida-kun!

Why don't we hang out after school?

Since we are friends now.

Ishida-kun, come here, come here!

What's wrong with you, Ya-sho?

Well.

Nothing.

Ya... Ya-sho?

Sounds like "big friend", doesn't it?

Anyway, what are you worrying about?

You can tell me anything, 'cause we are real friends.

Nagatsuka-kun.

What is the definition of friends?

Some kind of license,

or right or something like that,

to become friends with someone.

Hey, Ya-sho.

Give me your hand.

Hey, hey.

This is friendship.

I think, Ishida-kun,

friendship exists beyond words and logic.

License? No such thing is needed.

That's a ridiculous idea.

She is not here.

She is, isn't she?

She isn't

Huh, who are you anyway?

I'm Shoko's boyfriend.

Oops! Dropped it.

Haha, that's not about me, but the bread.

O-Oh, really?

Nishimiya likes younger guys.

I'm a little surprised about that.

Okay, then how about giving her this bread at least?

This is a very good bread.

Hey.

Don't come here again if you only want to amuse yourself.

Are you happy?

Then bye.

Hey boy!

My friend wants to see Nishimiya-san!

Stop complaining and bring her here right now!

Nagatsuka-kun, why are you here?

I followed you.

Sounds like the behavior of best friends?

Haha, so the friend of a turd had a turd hair.

Hey, you a turd-hair!

Wh-What are you saying?!

Say that again boy!

Turd-hair, turd-hair, turd-hair!

What's happening?

Is that Yuzuru-chan?

Oh, no. They are fighting.

You, small boy!

Nagatsuka-kun

Stop it, okay?

This is enough, so let's go home.

Nagatsuka-ku...

Oh? Aren't you the boy from the other day?

I-It's not like that!

Nagatsuka-kun, sorry for leaving you!

Damn!

Damn it, she found and met him.

Good for you, Ishida-kun!

Hey boy.

You are peeping now, aren't you?

Let me use it now!

What?

Ishida-kun is waving his hands and doing something!?

That would be sign language.

Really!?

Wow, I didn't know he had such a skill.

Hey, you can read their sign language.

Then translate for me!

Who was that turd-hair just now?

I don't know such turd.

Oops, he was so creepy!

S-T-O-P J-O-K-I-N-G!

Leave me alone!

Tsk!

Be careful not to fall, boy.

"Honestly,"

"I was not sure if it was okay for me to see you again."

"Kind of a license to be friends with you..."

"I've been looking for quite a while, these weeks"

"for a reason to"

"see you soon."

"I have been waiting for it."

Ishida-kun...

Huh?

"I'm glad."

"I thought"

"the same thing as you."

"That's so strange."

Well...

Nishimiya, here it is. A bread.

To feed the carp.

Feeding is fun.

Oh, that reminds me...

Huh?

Well...

Nishimiya...

Y-You should better not read it

so far!

Hey! Wait, Nishimiya!

Oh! She fell!

What!? Did something happen to Ishida-kun!?

Hey!

Hey, boy!

Oops! Ishida-kun fell into the river!

Why!?

Ouch!

Why did you do this!

Ugh, what is this creepy thing!?

Nishimiya.

Nishimiya!

Sorry for dropping the notebook.

See you.

Shoko, you are so stupid...

Haha...

Stupid!

Did you see this?

Hey, isn't this guy Ishida-kun?

"See you again"

Can I?

Hey.

This is Ishida-kun, isn't it?

This guy.

What?

What's this.

Ishida-kun, go to the teachers' room right now.

"Notice of short-term suspension from school - Shoya Ishida"

"I am very sorry that I jumped into Suimon River from a bridge,

where it was forbidden to do so, and...

I also uploaded that photo to the web..."

Hey, Shoya.

What?

Sorry but could you pick up Maria from the nursery?

I'm suspended from school this term and prohibited to go out.

It will be alright if you do it quickly. Please!

H-Hey!!

Maria, let's go home now!

Sho-tan!

Someone is over there!

Ouch!

Hey.

Hey, are you okay?

Aren't you Nishimiya's boyfriend?

You'll catch a cold.

Huh? Oh, it's you, the rat.

What are you doing here?

Shoes?

Why aren't you angry with me?

What?

I am the person who uploaded the photo.

Oh, you did it.

I get it.

I am relieved to hear that.

Why?

Now I know how it happened.

Be mad with me.

I can't.

I'm to be blamed first.

Sho-tan!

I am hungry!

Okay!

Then I'll go home.

You go home, too.

Haha, you have a kid.

Ouch!

It's not mine, it's my sisters.

Hey!

Hi Yuzuru-chan,

Please eat enough!

How about sis?

She'll work late today.

Maria, isn't it too hot?

No, it's good!

Yuzuru-kun, why don't you eat?

Hi, Yuzuru-kun!

Please!

Damn...

Huh?

What's the matter with you.

I was worried when you disappeared in the night.

Hi. Umbrella?

Ugh!

Anyway, use it!

Well, please use it now.

Thank you.

Well, excuse me.

I knew it.

I'll give you these.

These were mine, but

I won't use them anymore. You can have them.

Why did you run away from home?

I had an argument with Shoko.

Oh...

That's kind of a typical event

for a long-lasting couple, isn't it?

Yes.

For instance I used Shoko's shampoo without her permission.

I see...

She told me she doesn't need me.

Hey, do you live together with her!?

Use the umbrella for yourself.

You only have one, don't you?

I am to be blamed for bringing only a single umbrella.

I don't want Nishimiya's boyfriend get wet and sick.

Hey you.

What kind of a man do you intend to be? A hypocrite?

What!?

You feel pleasure taking care of a poor stray cat?

Or feel amused?

And you also made fun of her hearing impairment, I know it.

Hey.

Now you learned sign language, huh?

What's this?

Do you think you have changed to be a good person?

You are disgusting.

I see.

Of course you know what I did, hearing from Nishimiya.

Yes. You are right.

I'm the worst human being.

I'm not worthy to live.

But, at the very least,

I don't want to see Nishimiya cry ever again.

Of course, I have no intention to interfere with you two.

No intention. Never.

But, actually,

it's an issue of myself, too...

Thanks, here is enough.

Okay.

Well...

I'm very sorry that you fully believed what I said.

But actually I'm Shoko's...

You understand?

Oops!

You are her little sister!?

Bye!

Oh, Nishimiya-san's mother...

Hey, let's go.

Hey, it hurts.

I'm very sorry...

I'm home.

Yu-ju,

Hey, sis!

I'm zorry, I'm zorry!

All right, no problem.

Hey.

I want to drink grandma's beefsteak plant juice.

Yuzuru.

Don't be friends with such a guy.

And that goes for you too, Shoko.

We can decide something like that by ourselves.

Both I and sis.

Hey boy!

Nice to see you!

Why are you here today?

To return his umbrella I lent the other day.

Oh boy.

You are doing a good thing.

Nagatsuka-kun, she is not a boy...

Little sister of Nishimiya.

Of course, I knew it.

I'm glad to see a friend of my best friend Ya-sho.

He is my classmate,

Na-ga-tsu-ka.

Hey, hey!

Well...

I got my new smartphone.

Well...

Do you have a smartphone too?

Do you enjoy texting then?

To whom?

Your classmates?

Oh, that's good.

Then do you want to add someone to text?

Someone you want to know the address from?

Great, then my address is...

What?

Sa... Ha... Ra.

Sahara-san? The classmate from elementary school?

Ya-sho, Ya-sho!

Then?

Are you going to look for Sahara-san?

Don't be joking. I'm not a girl like that.

But I really think Kawai-san is very clever.

Kawai-san...

Ya-sho?

But Mashiba-kun is also..

Kawai-san...?

What?

I... I have

something to ask to you.

Do you know the phone number or something to contact

Sahara-san, our classmate in elementary school?

Sahara-san?

Sorry, I don't know...

But I know her school,

she belongs the same high school as Nao-chan.

Taiyo female high school...

Oops, I don't have enough money.

Ishida-kun.

Use this.

What!? I don't need that much!

No worries, Ya-sho.

When you need to pay for traveling, food and accommodation,

it's safer to have that much.

Hey!

We're here!

My sis says

she's offended that you're going to look for that former classmate without her.

So take her with you, Ishida.

Are you tired?

Thank you for today.

I was happy to hear that you were trying to look for Sahara-san.

I have heard various news about you from Yuzuru.

I'm pleased to go together today!

Well...

Walking from here..

Sho-chan?

Sorry.

Sho-chan!

I'm Sahara!

Do you remember me?

Hello!

Huh? Ishida-kun?

Hehehe.

Long time no see.

I continued to study sign language after that.

Is this correct?

I disappeared and left you alone in elementary school

I'm sorry.

I have been thinking of Sho-chan for a long time.

I'm happy to see you again.

And surprised.

Hum, hum...

Oh, really?

Huh, and now,

what kind of school are you going to?

I see.

And, hey, your chest got big, you know.

What's your cup size?

I'll check for myself!

Where are you going?

The restroom.

I see.

Hello! We're handing out a discount coupon for you!

Discount coupon!

Ueno...

Discount coupon!

Here it is.

Mew mew club...

From: Sahara-san

It's great that you leaned sign language.

And thank you for bringing us together!

Oh!

Sahara is so resolute.

I can't act like her...

Hum?

Can I bring Ueno too?

Huh? Simply impossible, you know?

Yeah, I know, I know.

I think so, too.

Yes.

Let's go, Nagatsuka-kun.

Now is the time to "Mew mew club"!

Can I help you?

How long are you going to stay?

One hour, please.

Can we use this coupon?

Yes, you can.

Oh, unbelievable. He actually came.

Well, what can I say, but...

What in the world did you expect?

So did you.

No, no. Don't be stupid.

I was simply interested in your old friend.

Yes, your friend.

Is she here?

Actually, not a friend.

Then what?

A little complicated.

Something happened when we were in elementary school.

She doesn't seem to be here today.

Let's go home then.

Oh, really...

Insect!

Hi, you showed up!

Came to play with Maria.

By the way, will Nishimiya appreciate it if I give her this pouch?

Huh?

A cat!

Sis, I've got something for you!

Sis?

I'll put the present here for you.

What?

U... Ueno-san?

U... Ueno-san?

Go, go!

Wait, wait, what's that about!?

Long time no see!

Yeah. Long time no see.

Huh?

The girl over there is Nishimiya, isn't she?

She seems to be still alone, haha.

Too bad!

Ishida! It's been a really long time.

Let's hang out together for a little while.

No, thank you.

Ishida, you hate me, don't you?

I don't know.

Actually,

I have been thinking

I should have talked to you earlier.

I'm sorry about the time in elementary school.

Ueno, get off my bike.

Why does she have a pouch from the cat cafe I'm working at?

Why? So weird!

I gave it to her.

Oh... I see.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Ueno?

Nishimiya-san, long time no see! Are you all right?

H-Hey!!

Huh? Why do you wear only one?

Ueno! What are you doing!?

Throwing them away to play, like we used to.

Sorry, Nishimiya.

Are you joking, Ishida?

Wait! Wait a minute!

You two are together?

No, not like that.

Just friends.

Friends?

Don't make me laugh!

You're friends with the girl you bullied?

Why?

I don't follow!

Oh, I get it. Some kind of remorse?

No.

Haha.

Ishida, you have become quite the boring guy.

Now then, I won't hold you up playing friends!

Hahaha.

Huh?

"What were you two talking about?"

N-Nothing special.

Well, I have to go now.

See you again.

Yuju,

It'z morning.

I'm fully awake. Surprisingly.

Breakfazt, let'z eat now.

Wait, wait, before that...

What's happened?

Sis.

Ponytail today? Why?

Oh.

What a weird face!

Let's give Ishida a chance to see her!

So many carp. Strength and bread to feed are running out.

You MUST come.

Huh?

Nishimiya...

Ponytail!?

Where are you going, Izhida-kun?

"Where are you going?"

I'm going to the bakery.

Yuzuru asked to buy a bread to feed the carp.

Yuju zhouldn't have. Yuju only wants to eat by herzelf.

Hey, Nishimiya!

Izhida-kun, you don't need to go

Wait, wait. Sign language! Sign language!

Iz my voize strange?

Yes.

Oh, sorry.

Oh...

It's completely alright.

W-Well, I have to go now. Bread.

Then bye.

Oh?

Nishimiya?

Huh? Is that for me?

Thanks.

Can I open it here?

What are these?

Thank you very much.

... ike... oo...

What?

About this?

I... ike... moo...

Huh?

I like moo!

Moon?

Agree.

It's beautiful.

Ni... Nishimiya!?

(From: Big friend Nagatsuka)

How about we go out now and see a movie?

Hey Nagatsuka-kun,

Do you recognise this as a moon?

Huh? I can' see any resemblence with a moon.

Hummm.

C-Candy?

They are no candies.

Nishimiya gave them just now,

but I'm not sure what they are.

Huh?

Oh...

What's the matter, sis?

"I said: I like you to Ishida-kun"

Oh, really!?

But he didn't understand what I said.

Huh...

Wow, you have changed your hairstyle.

Why changed? What happened?

It fits you well!

Stop, stop you all.

I was in a bit of rush this morning, that's all.

But it looks great anyway.

Hi, Kawai-san.

Why you have changed your hairstyle?

Hummm.

I didn't have any special reason to do it.

I see.

That's what girls do, you know?

Okay.

What?

By the way, Mashiba-kun

said he wants to be friends with you.

Huh?

Why... Why are you here today?

I'm Sahara, nice to meet you.

Me too. I'm Mashiba.

Hey! Stop doing that over my head!

Miyo-chan, long time no see.

By the way, where is Nishimiya today?

Sis went home because she had a stomach ache.

Umm...

I wonder if she may be avoiding me...?

What makes you think so?

The other day,

She was trying hard to tell me something,

but I couldn't understand what she said.

Huh, what did she try to tell?

Moon

Pff!

I couldn't even understand the simplest words she said.

I guess that would make her mad.

If you want to know if sis is avoiding you or not,

why don't you invite her to play something?

If she is still angry, she will say no.

Oh,

That's good idea.

(From: Ishida) We plan to go to an amusement park.

How about going together, if you'd like?

Hi all, let's start with that roller coaster!

Follow me so that you don't get lost!

Hey, why is that girl leading us?

I don't know.

Ishida.

Who's that girl?

Oh!

She seems to be very familiar with sis.

Ueno... Why...

Is she Shoko's friend?

Y-Yes.

When we were in the elementary school.

Hmmmm...

Can I sit next to you, Sahara-san?

Yeah, of course.

Are you all ready?

Yeah!!

Then let's start.

Sahara-san are you okay being together with Ueno?

Huh?

Yes.

I'm in the same class and high school as her now.

I'm learning a lot from her skill and taste in clothes.

I was scared to ride when I was in elementary school.

I was a coward at that time.

But I changed my habits a little.

I take the ride before I decide if I should be scared or not.

Actually, I still feel a bit scared.

Hey, here it comes!

Hey, are you okay?

Your legs are trembling, Sho-chan.

"Are you okay?"

Haha.

It's fantastic that you're able to use sign language!

You did your best to learn sign language, Ishida-kun!

Huh?

Hey, is this hand yours?

You are so rude to my best friend Ya-sho!

Huh? I simply want to be friends with him.

No, don't act like a child!

Nagatsuka-kun is so funny!

You need my permission to speak with Ya-sho!

Nagatsuka-kun, is your hair natural?

What!? Don't be silly!

Hey! Stop touching my hair!

Wait...

Mashiba-kun, go faster!

Go, go, Ya-sho, go!

Wait...

Can I...?

Can I be happy like this?

But it seems like...

Oops!

What are you doing?!

It seems like...

Friends!

Ishida.

I want to eat meatball snacks.

Let go to buy them together.

What!? Hey!

Here's Takoyaki. Thank you for purchasing.

Thank you very much.

Hey you, Ueno,

I don't want your unnecessary kindness.

Shi... Shimada...

Hey!

Hey, Ishida!

Oh!

Sorry, but I'll text you later.

Ishida!

Did you get angry?

No. I'm not angry.

Angry? No.

I just thought

if you two meet again,

you could be friends again.

If you two meet again, things might go well.

Your kindness is misplaced.

Oops.

Oops.

I did the same things to them...

You and me are alike, huh?

No. We are not.

We are alike.

We are not.

Well.

If Nishimiya-san hadn't come, we all would have been happy.

Don't jump to a conclusion like that by yourself.

But wasn't it correct?

If she had not be there,

I wouldn't have had a quarrel with Sahara,

and the friendship between Ishida and Shimada wouldn't have been broken.

I want to go back to the time when Nishimiya-san first came.

As for things with Shimada,

I did it on purpose.

Ishida, do you hate me?

Perhaps yes.

Now I feel like riding a ferris wheel.

Want to ride with Nishimiya-san.

H-Hey!

Huh?

Nishimiya-san, let's ride the ferris wheel together.

Hey, Ueno!

Sis, sorry, but take this camera with you.

I'm going to ride the jet coaster again.

Hi, you are welcome, Yuzuru-chan.

Shoya is in his room.

Hi.

I got a highly confidential movie.

Movie from the ferris wheel?

Yes.

Huh? What do you mean?

Peepingcam.

Well, I...

I hate you.

Let's not use it.

I'll speak clearly so that you can understand

and I'll listen to what you say.

Back in elementary school,

I didn't understand you enough.

But, I think you didn't understand us either.

That's why you bothered me with the weird notebook

and always smiled insincerely.

You always said sorry when something happened.

So I changed my manners.

I ignored you and talked about you behind your back.

These were my signals not to interfere anymore.

But,

you didn't understand and got back at us.

By ratting on us to adults.

As a result, Ishida lost his friends,

Alot of things around us were broken by you.

I... I'm zorry...

Actually, I don't want you to apologize.

We were very narrow minded in our childhood,

and we did our best within those limitations.

But I don't want you to say "let's be friends" now.

I still hate you, and

you still hate me.

But how about peace between you and me?

So let's shake hands, even if we both hate each other.

That'z not right...

I hate myzelf...

So what?

What's that?

What now?

Will you say "I'm sorry" again!?

After all,

you will stop talking with me, as you did years ago.

What do you think?

I want Nishimiya

to like Nishimiya herself.

Ueno-san, right?

Yes. Ueno?

Did Nishimiya-san have a trouble with her?

Why do you think so?

Kawai-san said there was something in elementary school.

By the way, I was surprised

that Nishimiya-san is really unable to hear.

Yes, she is.

Oh, then, I guess,

she was bullied because of that?

I can't forgive

that kind of bully.

What do you think, Ishida-kun?

What do you mean!?

You are saying I am spreading what you did in the past!?

Hey, you speak too loud...

After all, Ishida-kun has not changed at all!

What!?

You have always told me cruel things since elementary school!

What's the matter, Ya-sho?

Calm down, Kawai-san.

What are you talking about?

Mashiba-kun!

Ishida-kun used to bully a girl in the past.

What do you mean, Kawai-san?

Don't be silly..

It is true.

Kawai-san also said bad things at that time...

I never said anything bad to Nishimiya-san!

What!? Nishimiya-san!?

Yes.

Ishida-kun bullied Nishimiya-san.

I asked him to please stop doing that,

but he never listened to what I said.

He scared me so much...

Ya-sho?

Oops...

Are you ok?

Sorry, Nagatsuka-kun..

Ya-sho...

Ya-sho!

I hate myself, too...

Hi, Ishida.

Hi!

What's wrong?

No, nothing in particular.

Nothing...

Huh?

Hey, Ishida-kun, you're here!

I'm bringing your bag!

Hey.

Nao-chan...

I asked her to come.

I'm sorry for what happened in the classroom, Ishida-kun.

But,

originally you are to blamed, I think.

But,

if Ishida-kun apologizes first,

we can forgive him,

Mashiba-kun said so, and..

Stop it.

That's not the proper approach.

We have no right to blame him for this matter.

"We"?

That's not true, Nao-chan.

What's not?

Apart from myself,

Nao-chan actually bullied Nishimiya-san too.

You should not treat me like yourself.

Nao-chan...

Hummm.

You're right. We are different.

Completely different from you.

You were just looking and laughing when she was bullied.

Too bad!

Hey, Sahara, what do you think about this?

Me!?

Nao-chan also said so many bad things to Sahara-san.

I just said true things!

Hey, answer now, Sahara!

I... I was...

At that time...

I was scared of both of you.

What!? Which side you are on!?

I'm not on any side of you two!

Everybody stop.

It's all my fault.

I hate this kind of logic.

Stop, Ueno.

Don't conclude everything on your own.

Ishida-kun, don't talk like that...

Stop, Sahara.

Later you'll run away, as you did in the past. And then you'll regret it,

like "I was a coward".

What wrong with you, Ishida-kun?

Stop speaking, Kawai.

You simply like yourself the most.

Ya-sho,

I'm always on your side...

Don't say something like that without actually knowing me.

That's enough! I'm going home!

Ya-sho...

It's all right. I don't mind at all.

Sho-chan,

See you soon.

Sorry, Ishida.

I regret coming here.

Ishida-kun, you were too awful.

We won't be in touch, you outsider.

I had thought we became friends.

Oh, by the way,

starting next week,

summer holidays will begin.

Why don't we go somewhere fun together?

Yuzu.

You'll hurt your eyes looking at something in this darkness.

Here.

Yuzu, you still worry about sis?

Grandma worries about you, Yuzuru.

You always care about your sis,

and don't care about yourself.

Aren't you doing the same thing, grandma?

You don't join senior people groups and study sign language all the time.

That's just what I myself want to do.

Then so do I. I also do what I myself want to do.

Really?

You are a very good granddaughter, Yuzu.

I don't think so.

I'm scolded everyday from mom,

and I have not gone to school for a while.

Yuzu has a very beautiful mind.

Shoko is also doing her best everyday.

I'm very proud to have terrific granddaughters.

How about a sweet manju?

Yes, of course!

Grandma...

Hi Nishimiya.

Today I got a very good bread.

This bread is

as wonderful as you,

so...

Hummm, does this sound strange?

Huh...?

Nishimiya doesn't come today?

Well...

"Hi, Nishimiya, do you have a stomach ache today as well?"

Hummm, that message is no good.

Hey, Yuzu...

I'll go home now...

Ishida.

Hey!

What's with your outfit?

What? This is my school uniform.

How do you feel, how do you feel?!

Why?

School.

But we have summer vacation now!

Uhh...

Actually, what's wrong with you?

Nothing.

If I have to tell you... some kind of cosplay!?

Huh.

Text from my sis. I have to go.

I'll take you. Where?

No thank you.

I will.

Actually, I don't want you to.

You cried just now.

Why?

It's got nothing to do with you, Ishida.

Yes it does...

I want to think it does.

Why?

I worry about Yuzuru.

Don't tell me what my grandma would say.

Then I don't mind if you follow me.

Thank you Ishida.

Here's far enough.

"Funeral site for Ito Nishimiya"

Bye.

Hold out, Yuzuru!

Ishida.

After all, I'm still a little scared.

(To: Nishimiya) How about we hang out somewhere tomorrow?

Oh, it's splendid.

Com'on, Nishimiya. Let's go further.

Huh?

Nishimiya?

Oops!

Haha... I'm a bit scared.

What? Why do you apologize now?

Don't say such a ridiculous thing!

Hey, Nishimiya, how about tomorrow?

Let's hang out tomorrow, too!

Okay? Nishimiya.

Nishimiya said that

I will be unhappy as far as I am together with her.

The person who made Nishimiya unhappy

was I, actually..

I want to see the ocean,

I want to love humans,

even a monster has

a heart...

Sigh.

I can't imagine any way to recover the relationship...

Nishimiya! Yuzuru is here today, aswell!

Then let's go to see a movie!

Hahaha, it's so funny!

Hey, I'm here today!

What a worthwhile summer holiday this year!

You agree on that, Yuzuru?

I don't know...

It's really full of happiness.

Hey, Nishimiya,

How about tomorrow?

Let's go out somewhere tomorrow, too!

We can't go tomorrow, we have something to do.

What?

Really!? Are you serious!?

What are you going to make?

I-Is that okay?

Is it okay for me to be here?

Now Ishida is assigned to help us

to make a birthday cake for our mother.

Really?

I-Is that alright?

Your mom will slap me again, won't she?

It might be even worse. She may k*ll you.

Hey!

Oh, it looks delicious!

What? Why is this guy here?

Shoko, what do you intend to do?

Get out now...

Stop, mother! Today is your celebration day!

Yuzuru.

You look good with this!

Huh...

Tastes good!

It was good that you weren't k*lled, Ishida.

Y-Yes.

Good job, sis!

By the way, Yuzuru.

I submitted some of your photos to the prefectural photo contest.

What?

Sho-chan wanted to submit them for you.

But I suppose all the photos are kind of creepy ones.

Not necessarily.

Hey, you two did it without asking me!

Pff..

By the way, there will be a fireworks festival next Tuesday.

Humm, I'd like to pass.

Let's go together.

Is it okay here? Yes, yes.

Well, I'll go buy some fried noodles.

Let's go together.

Oh thank you.

Well, thank you for inviting me to your house the other day.

Your mom..

Yes, yes.

Did she enjoy the party?

Basically she had no facial expressions, but...

What day is your birthday, Nishimiya?

June

th.

Oh, it has already passed!

Well...

You are years old already.

Next year, let's celebrate your birthday together.

Oops,

I said "together" unintentionally.

Oh.

I see.

Understood!

It's interesting.

Oh, what's up?

But fireworks are not over yet?

"Studying"...

I see.

Then I'll go with you.

But...

I see.

See you soon.

What? What happened to sis?

Well then, Ishida,

can you go to our apartment to pick up my camera?

Good evening...

Oh, it's dark.

Nishimiya, I'm here.

Here it is.

Is it charged well...?

Huh? Oh, we can see fireworks from here.

Found Nishimiya.

Hi, Nishimi... ya...

Nishimiya?

Wait, wait! Wait a moment!

What are you doing?!

Nishimiya?

Nishimiya...!?

Huh!

Nishimiya!

Ouch!

Nishimiya!

Shoko!

Why...

Why, Nishimiya...

Nishimiya, frame!

Grip the frame!

Please, God...

Give me just one more ounce of strength.

I won't escape from my life challenges.

From tomorrow,

I'll look at everyone's face.

I'll listen to everyone's voice from tomorrow.

I'll do everything properly from tomorrow...

Ni... Nishimiya...

Oh, a scar I caused back then...

Did I properly apologize for that?

Sorry.

Sorry, Nishimiya.

Are you still mad?

Crap...

I should have asked, Nishimiya,

what you really think of me...

By the way, you know, I...

Sho-chan,

Sis made pancakes for you.

Maria will go out to see the fireworks!

It's cold...

and warm...

Hi, ma'am.

Hi, Yuzuru-chan...

I finally found you.

No one answered when I called your hair salon,

and entering his room was prohibited...

Oh, it's okay now.

He changed rooms today.

Let's go to there together, to see him.

Ma'am, well Shoko...

Ishida-san.

Nishimiya-san...

Nishimiya-san... I'm sorry.

Sorry again for the trouble.

I am very sorry.

Oh, please stop it.

My son must have done something bad to Shoko-san.

Ma'am.

Ishida saved my stupid sister.

I take full responsibility of the oversight.

I'm sorry.

Please.

Please raise your heads.

Nothing is better than that Shoko-san is okay. Isn't it?

So do you, Yuzuru-chan.

Please...

Why in the world does Ishida have to be injured!

Don't pretend to be a tragedy heroine!

Say something!

"I made a lot of trouble and bothered everyone, "

"so I'll apologize by k*lling myself."

"I am very sorry."?

How arrogant you are!

Hey, Nishimiya.

You are an absolute disease!

A person like you, who thinks everything

is just in your mind,

is so annoying!

Ouch!

Who are you!

Oh, you must be Nishimiya's mother...

If you can't raise your child,

you shouldn't have had her in the first place!

What are you doing?!

Stop it.

Stop it!

Why?

Why are you doing this!?

Are you Shoko-san?

Zorry.

I... I'm zorry.

I'm zorry.

I'm zorry!

I'm zorry!

What are you doing?

I thought seeing these photo

would change sis's mind about wanting to die...

What should I have done?

Damn, it can't be opened.

She's holding it shut!

Oh, Nishimiya-san?

How about going to the lobby? I'll buy you a drink.

(Hospital rooms # - )

I heard things between you and Ya-sho in the past.

"I destroyed what Ishida-kun made by working hard."

Do you mean what happened at the bridge?

Actually, Ya-sho accepted a trivial guy like me.

I learned what real friends are in that moment,

for the first time.

Ya-sho is my "big friend",

so I am quite shaken until he wakes up again.

"I want to fix up what I destroyed."

Oh...

It's silly you tried to k*ll yourself even if you were hurt!

You're speaking too loud, Kawai-san...

Nishimiya-san can't hear unless we speak loudly!

Everyone was worried about you.

Everyone has difficult experiences in life.

Everyone has, don't you think?

So...

we have to go forward, loving ourselves...

as a whole including weaknesses.

I am relieved to know you are okay now.

Are you then...

going to visit the others at the bridge.

You are strong...

Honestly, I'm scared.

Even after Ishida-kun wakes up,

I have no courage to see him again.

I couldn't change myself.

I ran away again and failed to save you again.

I'm still a coward.

From now on... you... will change,

Zaara-zan...

Thank you for meeting me, Sho-chan.

Hey, stop it!

Nishimiya.

I found you.

Are you doing well?

Somewhat.

Strange, isn't it?

I think

that I'll die.

Oh.

Tuesday is almost over.

Bye.

Nishimiya.

Ha! Nishimiya!

What's this?

Hey mom!

This...

Get rid of this!

Nishimiya

Nishimiya

Nishimiya

Nishimiya

Nishimiya

Yo!

Ha.

Pff!

Ahahaha.

Well...

Are you all right?

Yes.

I'm glad to know

you are okay.

Nishimiya.

I'm also okay now,

more or less.

Please stop making such a serious face.

And, let me say...

Nishimiya-san.

I am sorry.

I never really apologized for what I did in the past.

In addition, what I did after we met again.

So many things I did.

Perhaps,

I interpret you

to suit my interest.

Actually, I want to

talk more

with you.

Perhaps that's all.

But my selfish behavior had hurt you,

and forced you to make the worst choice.

Noooo, That'z not correct.

It'z becauze I had not changed,

you failed.

I am

to be blamed altogether.

Everizing would be great

if I went away...

I'm zorry..

Don't cry, Nishimiya.

Well, Nishimiya.

Just before,

I talked to you in my dreams.

In the dream,

even though I tried to give up many things in my life,

I realized it is not appropriate.

I thought the same way as you.

But,

I realized,

that it still wasn't worth to die.

I want to apologize to others, too.

So, Nishimiya.

I want

you to

help me

live.

Nishimiya.

Wow!

That's so weird what I just did!

Oops!

Sorry, just forget everything, Nishimiya!

Forget what I just did!

Hey, customer! You arrived!

Hey, Maria, are you watering flowers?

You are great!

Did you die? die? dieeeeeee?

Maria, Sho-chan was brought back to life.

I'm not dead, Maria.

Huh?

Is that Ueno-san?

She attended to you and took care of you when you were asleep.

Say thank you to her.

I heard you took care of me.

I'm really not the nice one...

I am still, now even more so,

unable to like Nishimiya-san.

Huh, maybe it's okay not to force myself to change...

And, It was Shimada and Hirose,

who saved you when you fell into the river.

They asked me not to tell it to you, but I wanted tell.

Ishida.

Welcome back!

Well then, I'll go home.

Thank you.

Oh, it's too short, isn't it!?

No, no, you will be the cutest with such short hair!

Hi, welcome back, Sho-chan.

Huh, h-hello.

Hi, welcome to the hair salon...

Ishida-kun.

I'm sorry for what happened.

No, I'm sorry too.

That's right. My son is immortal.

Hi mom, I'll go pick up Maria.

What!? Who is that guy?

My daughter's husband. He came back from Brazil.

And Sho-chan. Yuzu-chan is in your room.

Take some desserts out of the refrigerator for her.

Hey.

Hi.

Is that the winter-season uniform? It fits you.

Anyways, take a look at this.

Oh, my. Great!

And take another look at this.

Oh, my...

Have mercy, kind sir!

You must help me!

Sure. Of course I will.

You've started going to school again, haven't you?

Yes. Shoko gave me a good cause to resume.

Well, I will do my best.

I want to meet her expectations.

By the way, there's a school festival tomorrow?

Yes.

Shoko Nishimiya: Hello.

I was told everyone is going to the school festival tomorrow.

I will meet you at the front gate at : , it that okay?

Good morning, everyone!

Are you all okay?

I'm sorry for what I said at the bridge!

It's time to go!

I'm going to school!

Bye! Cheer up!

Oh!

These items are used like that!

What?

Nothing. I'll go.

Good luck!

Good morning.

Why don't we get going?

Hey, isn't that Ishida?

Who?

Huh? The guy that jumped?

Oops..

Honestly, it's the first time that I tell you,

I don't really fit in at school.

I even have difficulty looking everyone in the eyes.

It's easier for me to look downward.

Huh? It's okay to look down?

Ni... Nishimiya...

I can walk normally by myself, you know.

Thank you, Nishimiya.

Here is my class.

Ishida-kun? Hey, it's Ishida-kun!

Are you okay now?

Nishimiya.

I'm feeling some kind of stomach ache.

Sorry.

Ya-sho!

Huh?

Ya-sho?

Nagatsuka-kun?

Ya-sho, are you suffering from a stomach ache?

Ya-sho.

Hi, Nagatsuka-kun. Good morning. Are you okay?

Ya-sho.

Why are you looking down?

Oh, really? I don't know why.

Actually I went here to raise my head to meet you all.

But I might be a bit scared...

Hey, Ya-sho..?

Ishida-kun!!

I'm really really happy you came back.

If you.., oops,

If you hadn't woken up again,

I would have lost everything.

Ya-sho,

Don't mind

what happened at the bridge.

Minor troubles like that will happen again and again as far as we live.

So, Ya-sho, please please,

never go and leave me behind!

Pleeeease!

Nagatsuka-kun.

I'm very sorry

for so many things.

And,

thank you.

Ya-sho!

By the way, what's happened to your mustache?

It was a sacrifice for your recovery.

Nagatsuka-kun.

Huh?

Why is everyone here...

We heard Nagatsuka-kun calling Ishida-kun's name.

I see.

Kawai-san. You have you-know-what to give him,

don't you?

Huh... yes, I have.

But it was a failure, we can't give him that...

Why not? Let's give it to him.

Okay...

This is "A thousand paper cranes".

I really worked hard to collect a thousand,

but I couldn't do it. It is far less than a thousand...

I asked all the classmates again and again, but..

I'm very sorry.

N-No, it's amazing!

It's more than enough.

I've never gotten anything like that before,

and I am really happy.

Thank you Kawai-san.

And, I am sorry.

I'm sorry too, Mashiba-kun.

Not at all. You are amazing.

Ugh.

You are playing friends again, it makes me sick!

You are nasty as always saying that right now, Nao-chan!

Oh? Kawai-tchi?

Time to fight?

Hey, stop it, both of you!

Oh... Ishida-kun.

I'm sorry, Ishida-kun.

You have been through so much,

while I have not changed a bit.

Don't say that.

I haven't changed either.

So stop crying any more!

You gave me exclusive time even when my heart had been broken.

A white which was the color of the corridor that day.

I'll convey you carving on petals which are fluttering.

Darling,

I and you reflected on raindrops.

No one in the world knows.

Ah... I fell in love... I don't remember since when.

How many times I cried.

If I count it, it will take the whole night.

I'll be puzzled...

Darling!

What I want to convey to you now,

has been the same and not changed

since past times.

Darling!
