01x01 - Episode One

[bunniefuu]

This is for your attendance.

It's important, okay?

I'm sure it won't reach you.

It's not admiration or nostalgia.

This aching.

Ohara.

I like you.

Crap.

I always see him before anyone else.

And every time I do...

The idol of the 2nd years, Fujiwara,
went for Ohara too.

Of course. It's Ohara we're talking about.

I haven't done anything
and yet it feels like I got dumped.

-Are you heartbroken, Kakeru?
-No way.

You guys also think Fujiwara is cute!

We're just going with the flow.

What? The flow?

Maybe girls like
the cool and quiet types like Ohara.

Nah, he's not cool and quiet,
he's just unfriendly.

Really? I don't think he has
any trouble with romance, though.

What are you guys doing?

What is this, the springtime of life?

Such an old saying...

Here's a piece of
the springtime of life for you.

Everyone who got less than 40 points
are getting detention.

Ashiya, what did you get?

I'm not saying.

Twenty-eight points...

Argh. Could you not say it out loud?

What did you get, Yamato?

Ninety-eight.

How can childhood friends
be so vastly different?

This sucks.

Come on.

Let's start from the top.

Okay.

For this question,

use this equation
to find the value of cosine theta.

I think I got it.

Whenever you explain things,
I understand right away.

I wonder why.

Because we're childhood friends.

Are those things related?

No, but honestly,
I'd be completely lost without you.

So this one's... huh?

I screwed up.

That usually happens.

Really?

Thanks for staying with me
during my detention.

Here.

I'll take the smaller one.

Huh?

Oh. Let's do it like this.

Take a bite of this one.

-Huh?
-Then it's exactly half.

No need for that.

Eat, or it'll melt.

Here. Say, "Ahh."

Now we get half each.

By the way,
what will you do about Fujiwara?

Will you go out with her?

I won't.

What a waste.

She's so pretty.

I don't want to be liked
by someone I don't care for.

I see.

I wonder how long we can
keep eating ice cream together like that.

Huh?

I mean, once you get a girlfriend

you won't be able to stay with me
for detention anymore.

That goes for you too though.

You might get a girlfriend too.

No way I'll ever get one.

Unlike you, I'm neither smart nor popular.

I'm not popular.

You so are.

Speaking of, is there no one you like?

Kakeru.

Yes?

Kakeru.

Uh... yes?

Ashiya!

Why didn't you just
do this from the start?!

Aw, come on. You scared me.

I'm going to the bookstore,
so I'll be off.

Oh, really?

-Goodbye.
-Bye.

He seems down.

Argh... we have gym class today.

I don't want to.

You really don't like basketball.

-Of course not.
-Oh, it's Ohara.

Can you believe
the day starts with seeing him?

Today's going to be a good day.

What are you, a lucky charm?

Hey, listen to this.

Fujino got a girlfriend.

What? For real?

It is true indeed.

Aw man.

Don't get c*ck.

I want one too.

Girlfriends are nice to have.

I'll...

go ahead.

Uh-oh.

He's cold as usual.

He really only talks to you, huh?

Yamato is just shy.

You can do it!

You got it!

That's cool.

Ow...

That's cute.

No worries.

Damn it...

Ohara is amazing.

He's both smart and good at sports.

And he's handsome too. But!

His personality is bad.

It really isn't, though.

I told you he's just shy.

Oh, by the way, Kakeru.
You want a girlfriend, right?

I do, but...

Why do you ask?

What...

To help you with that,

this weekend, we'll go to
a mixer with the girls from Shinomiya.

-Girls from Shinomiya?
-Shh!

Why?

My girlfriend goes to that school.

What?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Ohara, I'm sorry.

-I'm fine.
-Oh, but...

-I didn't mean to.
-I said it's fine.

Sorry.

He's mad, isn't he?

Poor Yokouchi.

No way...

He wouldn't get mad
over something like that.

NURSE'S OFFICE

I'M DOING ROUNDS. BE BACK SOON.

I suck at this...

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Whoa.

Let me do it.

Don't tell anyone I got hurt.

I don't want Yokouchi to feel bad.

Okay, I won't.

Should we use this too?

No, you're going overboard.

But it'll fall off right away if we don't.

Okay then.

Here.

You know,

if I were a girl,

wouldn't this be
the moment we fall in love?

Sorry that it's me, Yamato.

Yamato.

Yamato.

We visited Dad at the hospital today...

But he...

He was asleep the whole time...

Right.

While Dad's not here,

I decided I'm going to protect Mikoto.

So...

Then...

whenever you feel like crying,
tell me, okay?

I'll take half of your sadness.

I'm your best friend after all.

You're important to me.

You're amazing.

Huh?

I'm not though.

Being told so by the perfect Yamato
kind of ticks me off.

You're kind

and thoughtful of others...

so you're...

always at the center of everything.

Huh?

Yamato, do you want to make friends?

That's not what I meant.

I'm going to a mixer on Sunday.
Do you wanna come with us?

A mixer? What for?

What for? To find a girlfriend.

You really want a girlfriend that badly?

It's not that I just want a girlfriend,

I just want to have
someone important to me.

Hm?

I'll go.

Huh?

I said,

I'll go to the mixer.

You going to mixers...

It's...

It's worrying me.

Worrying you?

I'm glad, though.

I want you to get along with Fujino
and the rest of the guys.

I always secretly hoped you would.

Ohara is late.

Is Ohara really coming?

He is.

-Are you sure?
-Sorry!

He really came.

He's so handsome, I can't resist.

What is he, a god?

They went for Ohara too.

I'm sorry for being late.

Please take care of me today.

Bowling's hard, huh?

It really is.

I've never really played before,
so I don't know which ball to use.

Huh?

Do I have something on my face?

Ah, no. Sorry.

You just look like my little brother.

Eh? Your brother?

Yeah, so I feel a kind of affinity.

-So...
-Yeah?

You really don't have
a girlfriend, Yamato?

That's right.

Why not?

That's strange.

-He's so good-looking.
-Right?

I don't have an answer to that...

What kind of person is your type?

A childhood friend?

-Huh?
-What?

Wait, what does that mean?

We have no chance then, do we?

Huh?

Kakeru?

Eh?

A childhood friend?

Yamato's childhood friend would be...

Huh?

Kakeru?

Are you okay? Do you feel sick?

No, not at all. Not in the slightest.

Your face is red.

I'm fine.

I'll just go to the restroom.

What's going on with me?

I failed again.

I'm good at these.

-Really?
-Yep.

My little brother pesters me to do it.

Oh.

Come on.

You can do it.

Argh!

-I was sure I had it.
-You were so close.

One more time.
I'll definitely get it this time.

Yeah.

One more.

Maybe left is better.

-Isn't right best?
-Right?

Yeah.

What?

It's okay, Kakeru.

You can stop now.

I promise I'm actually good at this.

I know, it's just like this sometimes.

But... I almost had it...

Use my money, then.

No, I can't do that.

-I'll go get change.
-Uh...

-Okay?
-Wait.

Why does this always happen to me?

Let me try.

Huh?

This one is pretty hard, you know.

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?! No way!

Here.

Thanks.

Akane's going to be so happy.

Huh?

You're amazing, Yamato.

You're smart and athletic,
and you're good at this too.

-I'm just...
-Are you giving it to her?

Yeah.

Well, don't tell her I caught it.

Huh?

Why not?

Yamato!

Let's exchange LINE.

-Me too.
-I want everyone's LINE.

-Okay.
-Let's do it.

Ohara, you're so good at racing games.

Kakeru.

Can I have your LINE?

Huh? Mine?

Yes.

O-Okay.

I'll show you my QR code.

Okay, I'll scan it.

-Done.
-You got it?

-Yeah.
-Thanks.

-Thanks.
-I'll send you a sticker.

It's not that I just want a girlfriend,

I just want to have
someone important to me.

Thanks for coming today.

I'm kind of tired now.

You are? It looked like you had fun.

You mean Akane?

She was easy to talk to.

I'm glad you got along with everyone.

Good thing I invited you.

But you didn't need me at all
for everyone to see how good you are.

If...

If you're with me...

Yamato?

What are you doing?

It's the middle of the street.

Mikoto...

I-I'll go home now, then.

See you at school, Yamato.

Yeah.

What did he mean by "If I'm with him"?

What is happening with Yamato?

I've been kind of...

weird today.

I'm back.

Oh, you got it?!

Ah, no, this one is...

Um...

Why couldn't I give it to her?

What kind of person is your type?

A childhood friend?

A childhood friend...

We're not dating, okay?

It's not like Kakeru belongs to you.

He's mine.

You don't want me to get a girlfriend?

Even we have things we can't say.

Why am I panicking this much?

Why...
