01x19 - You must have noticed by now.

[bunniefuu]

Amano-san, remember what you said?

That there was someone you want to contact?

Tell me

Who is that person?

Do you really want to know?

Yeah.

I see.

You're too slow, dummy.

Are you sure about this, Nagi-kun?

Yes, already.

I'm prepared to hear it.

So please tell me.

Who are you trying to contact?

Maybe it was fated that this

would happen sooner or later.

All right.

First, take a look at this photo.

Why am I there?

I-Is this

Yeah.

It's a family photo from when I was little.

I was so shocked.

Which means

I'd met Amano-san before?

Moving?

Yeah.

Does that mean we won't

see each other anymore?

I see

But don't worry.

I'm sure we'll see each other

again when we're bigger.

We're engaged, after all.

Right

We'd met before.

We were connected by fate.

Obviously not!

How can you read my mind?!

Of course I can.

You had that face you always have when

you're letting loose with your fantasies.

Then who's this boy in the photo?!

Computer generated?

Photoshopped?

This clearly looks like me as a kid!

Well, yeah.

He's your brother, after all.

Amano Sosuke.

He's my brother and your sibling by blood.

Now do you see why I didn't want to tell you?

So what?

I see now.

That's why he looks like me.

Wait, you're supposed to be more surprised!

You have an older brother!

How am I supposed to accept that now?

My only sibling is Sachi.

Where does that confidence come from?

I see, though.

Seems like you aren't bothered by the fact

that you were raised by different parents.

Maybe you lack a human heart.

And you're forgetting to

filter what's in yours.

So, do my parents, the Uminos,

know about this?

I don't think they do.

We're pretending Onii-chan didn't exist.

Didn't exist?

I'm still waiting, though.

For him to find me.

Maximum cute

Which is why, that day

The day my parents talked to

me about getting married

Unbelievable.

Who gets married off by their

parents in this day and age?!

They aren't going to listen to me

if I straight-up refuse, though.

How do I deal with this?

Wow, scary.

I'll legit die if I fall.

I'm sure they'll take me seriously

if I'm ready to get canceled.

Damn, I'm such a genius.

Onii-chan would be worried if he saw this.

Onii-chan

Why are you here?

The first time I met you, I was so shocked.

I thought Onii-chan had come back.

So that's why I'm posting photos of myself.

So he can find me.

He obviously won't see me, though.

What am I even doing?

So what now?

What do you mean?

There's no point in just waiting around.

What, should I make a

second account on Inusta?

Not like that.

We're going to find him.

Find him?

H-How?

I'm the second-smartest student in our grade.

Don't underestimate me.

What?

You said "second"!

It's the truth.

Thanks, though.

I was pretty sure you'd say that.

Let's really find him.

Yeah.

I'm home.

Umino Sachi has returned.

Sachi-chan!

Are you all better now? I was so worried!

Erika-chan, I'm sorry I

couldn't come with you.

Got any gifts for me?

Yup, lots.

Really?

That said

So then Erika-chan had a

bunch of suds in her hair.

Nagi, was your sister all good?

I was so worried, I kept DMing you.

How could you leave me on read?! That's cold!

Also, guess what happened to me after that!

Bruh, it was just me and two girls,

and I was like, "This is a harem!" But then

Something doesn't feel quite right.

Amano Sosuke.

He's my brother and your sibling by blood.

My brother

Nagi-kyun, you listening?

Come to think of it,

Today's Meals

100 delicious recipes

I always felt something was off

from the moment I met Amano-san.

Megurogawa!

You must be really smart, Nagi-kun!

I guess.

Guess what? You're going to be my boyfriend.

Amano-san's coming here?!

Where is she, anyway?

She's already over an hour late.

You're late.

Hey there.

I'm your doctor, Erika.

You just wanted to be a

pretend doctor, didn't you?

Oh, you could tell?

I thought she was just being chummy

with me because we're engaged.

But that wasn't it.

I was just a replacement for my brother.

I still think the pictures you

take end up being the best.

I've never seen anyone working so hard.

You impressed me, actually.

Go, Nagi-kun!

W-Wait—

I see now. I was pissed.

How much of a brother lover can you even be?

And after how much she

called me a sister lover

It's finally time.

Onii, is dinner ready yet?

I'm getting hungry.

The salad's ready.

You two figure out the rest.

Are you going somewhere?

I'm going to see Amano-san's father.

What?! Right now?!

Yeah.

I'm going to ask where

Amano-san's brother is

and why they're pretending he doesn't exist.

Your brother?

It's not going to work!

It's my father we're talking about.

He's not going to just tell you.

Okay, take care of the rest.

C-Come on, Nagi-kun!

Erika-chan, what does he mean by "brother"?

Well, you see

Boss, I've brought a guest.

Let him through.

Hey. I'm glad you're here.

I've been waiting for you, my only son.

Okay, I'm done studying, so I'm going home.

What? No!

Wait, Onii-chan!

It's your fault for being so slow.

Gotta go home and get back to

the game I was playing yesterday.

I wanna play, too!

Happy Math

Studying sucks.

You're late.

Onii-chan!

You took so long that

it's dinner time already.

You waited for me, Onii-chan?

I couldn't play my game because of you.

Although it wouldn't be

any fun playing by myself.

It's only fun when I'm making you lose.

So, yeah.

I totally get it.

He could have told me if he

was going to wait anyway.

Seriously.

Onii did that to me all the time, too.

I'm surprised, though.

I never knew you had an older brother.

Wait, doesn't that mean Onii

had an older brother all along?

Nagi-kun wasn't surprised at all, though.

Onii's a bit weird, after all.

Your brother doesn't sound quite like

how I imagined he would, though.

How you imagined him?

Yeah.

He grew up in a rich family,

so he's a loaded version of Onii, right?

I thought he'd be a better person.

Good girl.

I'll give you some money now.

Like that.

Your idea of rich people is a bit messed up!

He wasn't that great of a big brother.

He wouldn't fall for it when I pranked him.

And he'd stop talking to me just because

I ate ice cream without telling him.

Not just that.

He got super pissed at me just

because I deleted his game saves!

He never complimented me

when I changed my hairstyle,

he didn't notice when I bought new clothes,

he'd go out without telling me

He never cared for me, his sister, at all.

I see.

Wh-What?

Given how much of a princess you are,

the way you describe him

must mean he was a really good big brother.

Wh-What do you mean by that?

Exactly what I said.

Besides, I thought it was weird.

You were so quick to become my sister.

Well, yeah, that's just a fact.

I am your sister.

That's not what I mean.

You understood how I felt as a younger sister.

So that was why.

I-I guess so.

It is.

If that's true, maybe I had the same

feelings for him that you do for Nagi-kun.

I-I'm not sure about that.

Now you're pushing away!

I hope we find your brother soon.

I want to see him, too.

Yeah.

I hope Onii's all right, though.

Yeah.

Okay, look at this one next.

This is from when Erika was three years old.

She was so fussy back then.

She loved wearing this bear outfit.

Whenever we made her wear

anything else, look at her.

She'd be upset the whole day.

Oh, I guess she's still like that now.

This is when she was running around the yard.

She's a fast runner.

She's really athletic.

Doesn't like studying, though.

This is her refusing to eat her vegetables.

We had a hard time making her eat anything

besides Hamburg steak for a while.

Shall we look at her album

from when she was four next?

She's still adorable in these, too.

As I've been saying

What's this about us having a brother?

You don't.

Again, what do you mean by that?

Erika-san told me very clearly that

I have a blood-related older brother.

She lived with him when they were little.

I even saw a photo of him.

He looked just like me.

Where is he now? What does he do?

What do you want me to say?

I can't tell you about

someone who doesn't exist.

What do you expect me to say?

I want to know everything

about my family before I hear

about being swapped or engaged or anything.

Besides, if you're family, you must know that

Erika-san is looking for her brother, too.

Great.

Sounds like you're getting along

well with Erika. Good to hear.

I told you

By the way

Speaking of family, what do you

think of your sister, Sachi-chan?

That's not what I'm talking about right now.

Sachi-chan's a lovely young woman.

She looks just like Erika, too.

I guess that's what it means

to be blood relatives.

You've met Sachi?!

I just said hi to her.

She never told me anything about this.

You and Sachi-chan seem to be quite close.

You must have noticed by now.

Hey!

Hiro-chan!

Yes?

Let's play!

It's late, though.

Just for a bit.

Let's play with this.

Hey, Gordonia Family.

You know about it?!

Yeah.

I played with them a lot when I was little.

Wait

This little guy looks a lot like

Umino-kun, doesn't he?

Umino Nagi!

The number two man in our grade!

What's gotten into Hiro-chan?

Okay. Let's play.

Yay!

Well, then

There once was a bear

family and a bunny family.

In time, both families had adorable babies.

But when they were born, the two

babies were swapped at the hospital.

The unknowing parents loved their

children dearly and raised them well.

Then, one day, they realized

their children weren't their own.

But they each adored both their birth

child and the child they had raised.

Now, what shall we do?

Of course! They just need to marry each other!

And so the two became engaged.

What the heck?

I don't get it.

I don't get it, either.

Huh?

But

The bunny has a younger

sister, too, doesn't she?

Which means

This pairing could work, too.

Noticed?

Noticed what?

That marrying your sister, Sachi-chan,

could solve everything, too.
