01x01 - You, My Polar Opposite

[bunniefuu]

Sup!

Hey, Morimo!

Morning.

Sup!

Hey, Mini! Sup!

What're you doing?

Goofing off.

Tani

-kun! Morning!

Morning!

That's so creepy.

No one asked you!

Move, or I'll crush

those hair buns of yours!

Stop it!

If you two don't hurry up,

you'll be late!

I'm going!

Morning, Suzuki.

Azuma! Morning.

You came together with Taira?

We did not!

Morning, Nabesato!



- Morning.



- Good morning!

Hey there, Yamada!

Hey!

Oh! T

-Tani

-kun! Good morning!

Good morning.

Suzuki, you're so loud!

Proper greetings will save the world!

Hey, my eyelashes look

good today, right?

I can't tell.

Why not use eyelash extensions then?

I could, but I prefer my real eyelashes.

And the mascara comes off

if you sweat, cry, or rub it.

So, I just end up wondering

which brand I should try

and stuff like that.

Tani

-kun, what do you think?

How should I know?

You're icy as always today, Tani

-kun!

Why are you always asking Tani

-kun

about a topic he’s clearly not interested in?

Exactly.

Well, he always shuts me down

so bluntly that I can’t help myself.

If you ever need help

picking mascara, I'll help!

No need.

Shut down again!

He's ruthless.

Stop bothering Tani

-kun.

Tani

-kun, I'm so sorry.

To be honest

I'm desperately in love with you!

YOU AND I ARE POLAR OPPOSITES

Did you finish your

English homework?

I only did the parts

I thought I might get right.

You must finish them all.

Sitting in the seat next

to mine is Tani

-kun.

He seems like a quiet guy

with glasses to everyone else,

GROUP ASSIGNMENT ANALYZE

but Tani

-kun speaks his mind clearly.

GEOGRAPHIC CHALLENGES IN OUR TOWN

but Tani

-kun speaks his mind clearly.

AND MAKE PROPOSALS

but Tani

-kun speaks his mind clearly.

THWACK

The teacher will probably flag

this part, so it needs to be redone.

Huh? Why? Does it really matter?

And he has the same attitude

no matter who he's with.

HE'S NOT PUSHY

- FWIP

HE'S NOT PUSHY

- FWIP

Give me your work.

HE DOESN'T GROVEL, EITHER

- FWIP

Your work.

HE DOESN'T GROVEL, EITHER

- FWIP

Thanks for collecting them.

HE DOESN'T GROVEL, EITHER

- FWIP

Thanks.

Like the last time we changed seats

FRONT

- BACK

Okay. Change seats.

A MIRACLE

I'm right next to him!

This is crazy! What do I do?!

TENSE SMILE

I hope you'll treat me well, neighbor!

TENSE SMILE

Likewise.

TRYING TO MAKE SMALL TALK

The thing about being in the front row

WITH RELATABLE ANECDOTES

is that it’s actually hard to see the blackboard.

I'll read anything you

can't make out, 'kay?

I think I'll be fine.

Okay, then!

Tani

-kun doesn't adjust

his behavior without good reason.

I just really admire that!

Suzuki, which one do you like?

Huh? Sorry,

I wasn't listening.

Hey!

B

-But, I mean

I think that a person would rev up

the crowd better than an audio recording.

Right, Tani

-kun?

I have no idea.

Tani

-kun, I think you should just

tell her if you're sick of her nonsense.

It's fine.

See? He says it's fine!

WHEW

Whew! What a relief!

Tani

-kun, I'm sorry!

I love you, and yet

I want to talk to you

normally, and yet

I'm always worrying about

how others see me,

so I can't talk in a way

that reveals that I like you!

I admire Tani

-kun so much, but

You and I are polar opposites.

Right! After school,

let's all go to KingBurg!

Hey, Suzuki!

You'll come, too, right?

I have to do my homework.

EXCITED

I'm totally going!

YAAAAAAAAAY

Yay!

Suzuki, will you let me

copy your homework?

Again?

Please save me!

Oh, fine. You're hopeless.

Thank you!

Oh, Suzuki! Your story

yesterday made me laugh!

Suzuki

-san, do you mind

if I follow your account, too?

I didn't post anything weird, did I?

Sure! Please do!

But, you know

Tani's really smart, right?

Are you talking about

the group work today?

Right, I saw him heading to cram school.

Huh? Is he aiming for UTokyo?

I don't know about that.

He's really amazing, isn't he?

He lives in a different

world from the rest of us.

Don't lump me in with you.

Suzuki's the closest to

Tani

-kun in our group, right?

What? You think so?

That's gross!

Are you okay?

I'm just at an age when stuff

catches in my throat easily.

You're too young for that.

QUIRKY ACTOR

- SUDAKEN

Oh! SudaKen won

QUIRKY ACTOR

- SUDAKEN

Most Beloved Actor for a second time!

Girls really like the

mischievous types, huh?

Hey! SudaKen's the only one

who's boyfriend material!

There it is! Suzuki is

stanning SudaKen again.

Some say reading the room

is for other people's sakes

but it isn't.

I do it completely for my own sake.

And yet

Sometimes it tires me out.

Why is that?

I should head home.

T

-Tani

-kun, are you heading

home now? It's late, isn't it?

I just made a stupid yawning face just now!

There was committee work

to be submitted.

Tani

-kun, which way do you walk home?

Out the gate and turn right.

Same!

GLANCE GLANCE

No one's watching

Tani

-kun

This is crazy!

Want to go part

of the way home together?

My heart's gonna burst

out of my chest!

So, Tani

-kun,

your house is this way, too?

We've never ended up

together before, though.

Yeah.

Oh, I'm always running around

goofing off after school.

No wonder I never saw you.

And you have student council

stuff to do too, right?

Yeah.

And, um, we went to

KingBurg the other day,

and the burger was huge!

It didn't even fit in the bun.

The buns were basically

served on the side, you know?

I had no idea how to eat it!

Wait, is this even an interesting topic?

Was it good?

A QUESTION!

Yeah! It was! Super good!

I know! Tani

-kun, want to grab

one with me? Just kidding!

Sure.

Huh?

What did he just say?

Is he just being polite?

Or trying to be considerate?

No, Tani

-kun isn't that kind of person.

Say something

Say something back to him, me!

It's no good!

My heart is pounding so hard! I just can't!

BMP

My heart is pounding so hard! I just can't!

SHOCK

Uh, um, I

It can't be

What is this?

A dream?

What do I do?

Right now, I'm

My hands are totally sweaty.

My heartbeat is so loud

I can hear it pounding in my ears!

Am I dying?

I'M GOING THIS WAY

OH! I'M GOING THE OTHER DIRECTION!

I don't remember how

I THINK WE PROBABLY SAID SOMETHING LIKE THIS

I got home after that.

TANI

-KUN, SEE YOU LATER!

I got home after that.

YEAH. LATER

I'm h*—

GLOOM

Whoa! Don't sleep in the entranceway!

Oh Nii

-chan

FLAIL

- GYAAAAAAH

FLAIL

- GYAAAAAAH

Creepy!

FLAIL

- GYAAAAAAH

DAZED

We held hands

Aren't you going to eat?

If you're not gonna eat,

then gimme!

And

He was the one who grabbed mine!

This is crazy! This is crazy!

This is crazy!

How am I supposed

to go to school tomorrow?!

My heart is racing so fast!

There's no way I can sleep!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Shut up!

SNORE

ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

THUMP

Ow!

Oww

Morning? You're kidding.

Wait, what time is it?

TMPTMPTMPTMPTMPTMPTMP

I didn't have any absences or t*rd yet!

What?!

Where is everyone?

EVERYONE

BROTHER, MOM, DAD

IT'S ALL RIGHT TO BE LATE SOMETIMES,

BUT MAKE SURE YOU EAT BREAKFAST. MOM

Mom!

And it's more like midday

than morning now.

CALM

BEING SO LATE ACTUALLY RELAXES HER

There's no reason to rush at this point.

I should warm this up.

It's already lunchtime,

but good morning!

Suzuki, it's rare

for you to be late.

You could've just taken

the day off at this point.

But I want to do our

elective P.E. class, you know?

What a moron.

Oh, Suzuki! You're here!

Yeah! Sup!

Hey, are you and Tani dating?

Huh?

Gapacho said you two walked

home together yesterday.

Who the heck is Gapacho?

It wasn't someone else?

Gapacho knows what he saw!

Not our concern.

Hey, hey, hang on, Yamada.

Right now,

we're in the "might be mutual,

but not yet confirmed" phase.

The most delicate phase of all!

It's not something you

can poke at for fun!

I'm playing for keeps here!

And, I mean



- Someone saw us?



- So?

Saw us where?

Oh, um

It's not like that!

You know

That's my seat.

Can I grab my notebook?

Huh? Oh, sorry. I'll move.

It's fine.

We'll go to the next class after all.

R

-Right.

It couldn't be worse.

The body breaks down carbohydrates,

and blood sugar levels rise.

He heard me denying it.

It was so beyond rude!

You have it all wrong!

I didn't mean to say it like that!

Tani

-kun, I'm so sorry

No, no, no! I could never!

But I want to apologize ASAP!

What do I do?

FWIP

- DROP

What do I do?

FWIP

- DROP

I hope Tani

-kun doesn't feel awful right now.

I hope Tani

-kun doesn't feel awful right now.

I hate this.

Suzuki, you haven't

SHFF

- POING

picked up any of the shuttles!

Just pick them up!

ANGST ANGS

ANGST ANGS

Oh, why am I always so

Sorry, Suzuki!

SWEA

Talk

SWEA

I have to talk to him!

SWEA

I have to clear things up!

SWEA

But here?

Here, in front of everyone?

Suzuki

-san.

BA

-DUMP

T

-Tani

-ku

Please forget what

happened yesterday.

I'm sorry.

Come on, Suzuki!

This popcorn coupon expires today!

Hey, weren't you just

talking to Tani?

You really do get along, huh?

Suzuki?

You, too?

Do it again! Do it again!

I

am in love with Tani

-kun.

What?

It's a one

-sided love.

Huh?

And I asked him to walk home

with me yesterday.

Does that seem weird to you?

Huh?

SO LOUD

What?!

SO LOUD

What? You should've told me!

Anyone would think you just

met up on the way home!

Who would think

it was a serious situation?!

Huh? Hang on

GLOOM

GLOOM

I feel like I said something

GLOOM

I shouldn't have at the lunch break

GLOOM

You're always being insensitive.

So, Tani

-kun already left.

Is that okay?

It's not okay!

You might make it if you run!

This is serious, Suzuki!

Go get him!

Don't worry about the popcorn!

Sorry! I really don't care!

Hey!

Run, Suzuki! Show us speed

that won't shame your name!

You're Suzuki, after all!

SLOW

SLOW

So slow.

SLOW

You can do it!

Look ahead of you!

Go!

What's this?

Saying how I feel out loud

was this easy to do?

I gave in to temptation.

NO USE REGRETTING IT NOW.

NO USE REGRETTING IT NOW.

That's all I can say.

Suzuki

-san sits next to me.

She always talks to me,

and I thought she was so casual

because I didn't really matter to her.

Want to go part

of the way home together?

That's what I thought, but

Today

I thought she might not come to school.

It's not like that!

Before I knew it, I grew used to

Suzuki

-san talking to me.

A day without her

Tani

-kun!

is just too quiet.

I love you!

T

-Tani

-kun, sorry that I pester you

with stupid stuff.

And I'm sorry for what I said

in front of everyone today!

I didn't know how

to talk to you, Tani

-kun.

I was scared that everyone

would find out how I felt.

I'm a really pathetic human being.

But

Tani

-kun, I want to spend

more time with you.

When you held my hand,

it made me so happy.

So happy that I couldn't sleep

last night and overslept.

Wait, I guess that means

I could sleep, huh

Suzuki

-san.

I

When you're not talking,

I don't know what to do.

That's the kind of pathetic

human being I am.

Are you okay with that?

That face you're making

is so adorable!

Hey

Well, I mean, it's just

WAAAHHH

Of course I'm okay with that!

I feel like I've made you cry.

Well, that's because you actually did.

Mascara, was it?

It'll come off, right?

You were really listening to me!

This is crazy!



- My heart's all fluttery!



- Huh? Why? What caused it?

Oh, honestly!
