1. Kessoku Band managed to succeed
in its first full four-member concert.Copy !req
2. And so, our summer came to...Copy !req
3. a middle.Copy !req
4. That's right. We do have
some break left, don't we?Copy !req
5. Until my summer break comes to an end...Copy !req
6. What lovely weather!Copy !req
7. I'm going to spend every single dayCopy !req
8. enjoying it to its fullest.Copy !req
9. Shake!Copy !req
10. Another fulfilling day...Copy !req
11. Not!Copy !req
12. It's summer break, but I'm not
doing a single thing differently!Copy !req
13. I mean, playing guitar is fun and all, but...Copy !req
14. I was thinking Kessoku Band
might hang out together,Copy !req
15. so I've cleared my schedule
of everything but work, but...Copy !req
16. Of course, it's usually
clear regardless, but...Copy !req
17. B-But keeping it clear
has a totally different feel, right?Copy !req
18. Still, even at work, nobody
so much as suggests hanging out...Copy !req
19. Bocchi-chan! See you at work again tomorrow!Copy !req
20. The members of a band usually
hang out, don't they?Copy !req
21. But I guess when we're all
available, we should be practicing...Copy !req
22. S-Still, just for once, I'd like to...Copy !req
23. Yeah, that's right!Copy !req
24. I can't always be passive!Copy !req
25. B-But if I bring it up,Copy !req
26. I'm the one who'll have to pick
the place and time...Copy !req
27. I can't think of a plan
that'll satisfy everyone!Copy !req
28. But I just have to work up the courage!Copy !req
29. I'll start with Nijika-chan!Copy !req
30. Hitori-chan! Time to eat!Copy !req
31. A-Anyway, there's a lot of summer break left!Copy !req
32. I'm sure one of them will make
the offer sooner or later.Copy !req
33. Yay!Copy !req
34. The general theory of relativityCopy !req
35. states that the passage of time slows
in the presence of a powerful gravity well.Copy !req
36. The black holes theorized
to exist throughout spaceCopy !req
37. are believed to be the end state
of the life cycle of massive stars.Copy !req
38. Their extreme density and
high gravitational potentialCopy !req
39. mean that not only matter, but even light,
becomes trapped forever in their pull.Copy !req
40. The gravitational field causes time to slow
so much that it nearly stops...Copy !req
41. Hitori-chan! I'm coming in!Copy !req
42. I thought I'd air out the futons
while the weather's nice.Copy !req
43. Don't lie around all day, all right?Copy !req
44. You'll be back at school soon.Copy !req
45. But I'm in a black hole.Copy !req
46. It's done!Copy !req
47. I liked dark, cramped spaces,Copy !req
48. so I'd bury my face deep in my hoodCopy !req
49. My eyes resented the heartless world,Copy !req
50. but yearned for loveCopy !req
51. I liked being soaked by the rain,Copy !req
52. because my face looked better clouded overCopy !req
53. I pretended to be afraid of the stormCopy !req
54. while waiting for the sky to burstCopy !req
55. Strum through the light's distortionCopy !req
56. I want to make thunder roarCopy !req
57. Drum beyond the painCopy !req
58. What can I do? This fierce
pounding is out of controlCopy !req
59. Strum in a harmonizing quartetCopy !req
60. I want to cause a revolutionCopy !req
61. Drum in a lamenting forteCopy !req
62. What can I do? My savage
nature is beyond wildCopy !req
63. Bocchi-chan? Acting strange?Copy !req
64. Yeah.Copy !req
65. She's been staring out into space,
and she's barely talked in days.Copy !req
66. Sounds like typical Bocchi.Copy !req
67. C'mon, you can't possibly...Copy !req
68. Astaxanthin. Canthaxanthin.Copy !req
69. be exaggerating.Copy !req
70. I'm not!Copy !req
71. She seemed on the verge
of tears for a minute,Copy !req
72. but then she spontaneously
started dancing the samba!Copy !req
73. Tortilla!Copy !req
74. That's not good!Copy !req
75. Typical Bocchi.Copy !req
76. It is not!Copy !req
77. Hey.Copy !req
78. Could you get Bocchi-chan to knock it off?Copy !req
79. Eh?Copy !req
80. She's been making cicada graves
in front of the club all day.Copy !req
81. That's way too out there!Copy !req
82. What's got her freaking out like that?Copy !req
83. I wonder if it's because today's
the last day of summer break.Copy !req
84. Farewell. Farewell.Copy !req
85. I don't wanna go back to school either.Copy !req
86. Say, guys.Copy !req
87. Have you actually taken her out
anywhere this summer?Copy !req
88. One time, while you were working, I asked
what she was doing with her time off...Copy !req
89. Bocchi-chan. What are you doing with
your break when you're not working?Copy !req
90. Um, I... My little sister asked me
to teach her guitar, so I did.Copy !req
91. Hey, that's nice.Copy !req
92. B-But...Copy !req
93. Today I asked my sister
to teach me to play guitar!Copy !req
94. I thought it was awesome how my sister
stayed inside practicing, day after day!Copy !req
95. I have too many things to do and too many
friends to play with over summer break,Copy !req
96. so I can't stay home practicing
every day like her!Copy !req
97. That's why I think it's awesome!Copy !req
98. H-Her words sent me into a spiral, and
I ended up not getting out of bed for days.Copy !req
99. I see.Copy !req
100. I cleared my schedule!Copy !req
101. N-Not because I have nothing to do!
I cleared it on purpose!Copy !req
102. R-Right.Copy !req
103. She said all that.Copy !req
104. Why didn't you tell us earlier?Copy !req
105. I wanted to invite her, but...Copy !req
106. My schedule's packed every day I'm not here,Copy !req
107. and I thought she'd be uncomfortable
around people she doesn't know, so...Copy !req
108. What about you, Ijichi-senpai?Copy !req
109. W-Well, when we're not practicing, I'm
cleaning up at home or working here, so...Copy !req
110. R-Ryo-senpai?Copy !req
111. I figured you two had invited her already.Copy !req
112. Y-You're telling me...Copy !req
113. Nobody invited Bocchi-chan out?Copy !req
114. You guys need to change your band name.Copy !req
115. G-Gotoh-san! You want to hang out?Copy !req
116. Docosahexaenoic acid. Eicosapentaenoic acid.Copy !req
117. Come back to us!Copy !req
118. I know! Let's all go to the
beach together, right now!Copy !req
119. We could hit up Enoshima!Copy !req
120. Great idea! It's a straight shot
from Shimo-Kita.Copy !req
121. B-But...Copy !req
122. What-about-our-practice-then?Copy !req
123. Why's she talking like a robot?Copy !req
124. We can practice any time!Copy !req
125. It's not like we have our next
concert scheduled, anyway.Copy !req
126. Let's use our last day of summer break
to make memories together!Copy !req
127. Memories...Copy !req
128. Isn't that a great idea?Copy !req
129. Let's go to the beach together!Copy !req
130. But it might be too late to swim.Copy !req
131. Y-Yeah... no point in going to
the beach if you can't swim.Copy !req
132. B-But there's still the beach shacks!Copy !req
133. Let's eat shirasu-don!Copy !req
134. And we can gaze at the ocean from the sand...Copy !req
135. Ocean... Sand...Copy !req
136. See? Doesn't that sound fun?Copy !req
137. Wait for me!Copy !req
138. You catch up!Copy !req
139. The end of summer, huh?Copy !req
140. Let's come again next year.Copy !req
141. Tropical love forever!Copy !req
142. Tropical love...Copy !req
143. Gotoh-san!Copy !req
144. Forever...Copy !req
145. Why is this happening?Copy !req
146. I think I made it worse somehow.Copy !req
147. Okay! Let's take her out while she's docile!Copy !req
148. Roger!Copy !req
149. Kita-chan, you carry Bocchi-chan!Copy !req
150. What?Copy !req
151. Okay! Let's get going to Enoshima!Copy !req
152. Yeah!Copy !req
153. Gotoh-san! We'll be making
those summer memories soon!Copy !req
154. Just hang in there a little longer!Copy !req
155. Scary... Tropical...Copy !req
156. I'm in a black hole... at the
far reaches of the galaxy...Copy !req
157. She must really hate school
to be acting this way.Copy !req
158. Is your school super strict?Copy !req
159. Too far for the sunshine
of summer to reach...Copy !req
160. No, I'd say it's on the liberal side.Copy !req
161. Trapped by the powerful gravity...Copy !req
162. And the culture festivals are lots of fun!Copy !req
163. Aw, lucky!Copy !req
164. Our school's pretty strict,Copy !req
165. and the culture festivals are super uptight.Copy !req
166. It's mostly science project
posters and stuff.Copy !req
167. Really?Copy !req
168. That's right. Shimo-Kitazawa High
is a prep school, isn't it?Copy !req
169. You two must be really smart!Copy !req
170. I'm pretty average, myself...Copy !req
171. And Ryo is... yeah.Copy !req
172. Eh?Copy !req
173. You bombed your last round of tests, right?Copy !req
174. Yep.Copy !req
175. Eh?Copy !req
176. She picked the school for
the same reason I did:Copy !req
177. because it was close to home!Copy !req
178. Yep.Copy !req
179. But then how did you pass the entrance exam?Copy !req
180. Ryo's a cram-the-night-before type.Copy !req
181. She worked really hard right before the exam,Copy !req
182. but apparently forgot it all after.Copy !req
183. When I study too hard,
I forget how to play bass.Copy !req
184. Which means Ryo-senpai isn't
mysterious and thoughtful at all...Copy !req
185. No! Her brain is so small you can hear it
rattling around in her skull!Copy !req
186. Maybe we can use that sound in a new song!Copy !req
187. Stop it! Stop destroying my fantasy!Copy !req
188. Don't yell on the train.Copy !req
189. I'm deleting this conversation
from my memory!Copy !req
190. Is this what overly strong love does to you?Copy !req
191. C-Curvature of spacetime...Copy !req
192. What are you seeing right now, Bocchi-chan?Copy !req
193. I don't get why she's so isolated at school.Copy !req
194. She's so fun.Copy !req
195. Right?Copy !req
196. I wish everyone at her school
could see how cool she is.Copy !req
197. I'll make sure to talk to her
when school starts again.Copy !req
198. You totally should!Copy !req
199. Bocchi-chan's dream right now
is to drop out of school!Copy !req
200. Does that even count as a dream?Copy !req
201. Anyway, let's use today to make a fun
summer memory with Bocchi-chan!Copy !req
202. Let's take a picture, Gotoh-san!Copy !req
203. I'm gonna get some sea salt
soft-serve. See you later.Copy !req
204. Hey! No one said this was free time!Copy !req
205. Gotoh-san. Please wake up already!Copy !req
206. Gotoh-san!Copy !req
207. Look!Copy !req
208. The beach is so big!Copy !req
209. H-Huh?Copy !req
210. Wh-When did I...Copy !req
211. You've really been out cold this whole time?Copy !req
212. Th-Thank you, Kita-san.Copy !req
213. When was the last time I've been to the beach?Copy !req
214. Now that I'm here,
I can see how beautiful it—Copy !req
215. Hey, girls!Copy !req
216. Come eat at our beach shack!Copy !req
217. We got a discount for cuties like you!Copy !req
218. I-It's a party animal in the flesh!Copy !req
219. We can get you a table for four right away!Copy !req
220. Are y'all in high school?
Where'd you come from?Copy !req
221. Bocchi-chan exploded!Copy !req
222. Archetypal beach bros.Copy !req
223. They're too powerful for us to handle!Copy !req
224. Let's get away from the beach, ASAP!Copy !req
225. Thanks for coming.Copy !req
226. Here, for you, Gotoh-san.Copy !req
227. Th-Thanks...Copy !req
228. What is this?Copy !req
229. Takosen!Copy !req
230. I hear they press the takoyaki
with a full ton of force!Copy !req
231. A ton of force?Copy !req
232. It's good!Copy !req
233. My tastiness sensor never fails.Copy !req
234. V-Very impressive!Copy !req
235. Bocchi-chan, I'm just glad
to see you feeling better!Copy !req
236. It's so big and cute!Copy !req
237. So photogenic!Copy !req
238. Let's take a picture!Copy !req
239. Okay! Here comes the selfie!Copy !req
240. Lemme see!Copy !req
241. It turned out super great!Copy !req
242. I ate tako senbei with them.Copy !req
243. Summer memories...Copy !req
244. Th-Thank you...Copy !req
245. Thank you for today.Copy !req
246. It's been wonderful.Copy !req
247. How are we at the climax already?Copy !req
248. And so, my summer came to an end.Copy !req
249. We're just getting started!Copy !req
250. Okay! Let's climb all the way to the top!Copy !req
251. Stairs?Copy !req
252. Is there anything more beautiful
than scenery you have to work to see?Copy !req
253. No. Screw that.Copy !req
254. Let's do it!Copy !req
255. No!Copy !req
256. You too, Gotoh-san!Copy !req
257. You'll come with me, right, Ijichi-senpai?Copy !req
258. I'm not super into it either...Copy !req
259. Kita-chan! She's glowing more than ever!Copy !req
260. H-How?Copy !req
261. P-Perhaps her usually
understated extrovert auraCopy !req
262. h-has been amplified
by the light of the sun!Copy !req
263. It's stripped off her limiter, you mean?Copy !req
264. Come on! Let's do it!Copy !req
265. Hurry up, everyone!Copy !req
266. I'm done. No more climbing.Copy !req
267. Kita-chan's getting further
and further ahead...Copy !req
268. I'm out!Copy !req
269. Who cares about the view?Copy !req
270. Not me.Copy !req
271. Hang in there, you two.Copy !req
272. We've only just started!Copy !req
273. Lemme take a break first.Copy !req
274. What'll I do with you?Copy !req
275. You've got so much energy, Kita-chan...Copy !req
276. E-Escar...Copy !req
277. I th-think we can ride an escalator up!Copy !req
278. C'mon, let's climb the stairs!Copy !req
279. It costs money?Copy !req
280. You need to buy tickets
to the Enoshima Escar.Copy !req
281. See, we should climb the stairs instead!Copy !req
282. Welcome!Copy !req
283. I... I have no money, but...Copy !req
284. I've got some pretty good bass guitars.Copy !req
285. I'll give you one.Copy !req
286. Um, I don't think...Copy !req
287. How about two?Copy !req
288. You want three?Copy !req
289. You need to buy a ticket...Copy !req
290. What a breeze!Copy !req
291. But climbing the stairs would have
made the view so much more impressive.Copy !req
292. Y-You'll pay me back next month, right?Copy !req
293. I've never broken a promise in my life.Copy !req
294. You didn't pay me back last time, though.Copy !req
295. Sorry, Bocchi-chan!Copy !req
296. I'll take it out of her paycheck.Copy !req
297. You're inhuman!Copy !req
298. We made it!Copy !req
299. As long as we're here,
let's hit up the observation deck!Copy !req
300. Even taking the Escar is kind of exhausting.Copy !req
301. It was... quite a long way.Copy !req
302. Yeah...Copy !req
303. But being up this high
feels quite liberating.Copy !req
304. P-Positivity wells up within me.Copy !req
305. That's the fresh air and
magnificent view at work!Copy !req
306. Sh-Should we take a picture together?Copy !req
307. Yeah! Cheese!Copy !req
308. Cheese!Copy !req
309. They're finally getting into it.Copy !req
310. Look! Isn't it pretty?Copy !req
311. Yeah, sure.Copy !req
312. Hey. Aren't you listening?Copy !req
313. Oh, sorry.Copy !req
314. You're just so pretty
I forgot everything else!Copy !req
315. You silly!Copy !req
316. Miitan!Copy !req
317. Takkun!Copy !req
318. Miitan!Copy !req
319. The observation deck!Copy !req
320. Takkun!Copy !req
321. Let's go to the observation deck!Copy !req
322. Look at that!Copy !req
323. The view from the observation deck
is even more fabulous!Copy !req
324. We've really got to drink it all in!Copy !req
325. I love air conditioning.Copy !req
326. It's heaven.Copy !req
327. S-Sure is.Copy !req
328. Err, You guys?Copy !req
329. Long, long ago, humans attempted
to build a tower to heavenCopy !req
330. to prove themselves equal to God.Copy !req
331. God, enraged, scrambled
the languages of humans,Copy !req
332. and cast their lands into chaos.Copy !req
333. Talking about the Tower of Babel?Copy !req
334. B-But humans failed to learn
and built another tall tower like this?Copy !req
335. Guys! The scenery!Copy !req
336. Kita-chan got what she wanted,
so let's blow this joint.Copy !req
337. G-Good idea.Copy !req
338. My favorite part was the air conditioning.Copy !req
339. You filthy indoor types!Copy !req
340. Ryo. Weren't you eating sea salt
soft-serve earlier?Copy !req
341. I've always got room for ice cream.Copy !req
342. P-Please pay me back for the ice cream, too.Copy !req
343. What should we do next?Copy !req
344. I think we've had plenty of fun, don't you?Copy !req
345. You think?Copy !req
346. I feel like we need one more
memorable event...Copy !req
347. I wanna eat shirasu-don, then!Copy !req
348. They were sold out at the place
where we had lunch!Copy !req
349. Nah. Too full.Copy !req
350. Since when were you in charge?Copy !req
351. What's that sound?Copy !req
352. Oh, the kites?Copy !req
353. They like to steal human food, so—Copy !req
354. Right as we were talking about it!Copy !req
355. You okay, Bocchi-chan?Copy !req
356. Gotoh-san, you want my ice cream?Copy !req
357. They're targeting Bocchi-chan!Copy !req
358. She looks weak!Copy !req
359. It pisses me off.Copy !req
360. Teach her a lesson!Copy !req
361. Even birds look down on her.Copy !req
362. Even birds?Copy !req
363. Gotoh-san, you okay?Copy !req
364. It's over.Copy !req
365. Get lost!Copy !req
366. Memorable event achieved.Copy !req
367. That's not the kind of memorable I wanted!Copy !req
368. But we can't stay out too late,
so we really should head out.Copy !req
369. Bocchi's in bad shape, anyway.Copy !req
370. Then how about a shrine visit
before we head home?Copy !req
371. This shrine is dedicated to a goddess
called Myo-on Benzaiten.Copy !req
372. She's the goddess of music
and performing arts.Copy !req
373. I've always thought we should come here
if we ever went to Enoshima together.Copy !req
374. We'll have to wish for
our band's future success!Copy !req
375. Bocchi-chan.Copy !req
376. You looked like you were wishing
pretty hard back there.Copy !req
377. It took forever.Copy !req
378. What were you wishing for?Copy !req
379. I was wishing and thanking her
pretty hard too!Copy !req
380. "Goddess, thanks for making
our concert a success.Copy !req
381. Keep that good fortune coming!"Copy !req
382. R-Really?Copy !req
383. Let's get back to practice tomorrow!Copy !req
384. Even though we don't have
a next concert scheduled!Copy !req
385. I can't tell them...Copy !req
386. Please, Goddess!Copy !req
387. Turn back time to the first day of summer!Copy !req
388. I'll do anything, just turn back time!Copy !req
389. Either that, or give me fame and fortune
so that I never go hungry!Copy !req
390. that I made a really vapid wish!Copy !req
391. It's about an hour from here
to Shimo-Kita, right?Copy !req
392. Yeah.Copy !req
393. Gotoh-san, you'll change
trains at Fujisawa, right?Copy !req
394. Y-Yes.Copy !req
395. Wake me up at Shimo-Kita.Copy !req
396. Oh, they're hopeless!Copy !req
397. I really wish we'd gotten to do
some Kamakura sightseeing,Copy !req
398. and I wish we'd had dinner together, too!Copy !req
399. Shirasu-don...Copy !req
400. She really wanted to eat that, huh?Copy !req
401. My first long trip in a while...Copy !req
402. That was lots of fun.Copy !req
403. I almost wish we could've
stayed out a little longer.Copy !req
404. Okay!Copy !req
405. Let's spend all of winter break
hanging out as Kessoku Band!Copy !req
406. Where do you want to go, Gotoh-san?Copy !req
407. Let's make memories together
every single day!Copy !req
408. I d-don't wanna go outside every day!Copy !req
409. I'll th-think about it...Copy !req
410. Sure!Copy !req
411. You can rest if you want, Gotoh-san.
I'll wake you up.Copy !req
412. A-Actually, I spent the whole
train ride up here unconscious,Copy !req
413. so I'm pretty alert now.Copy !req
414. Really?Copy !req
415. Then the fun continues until Fujisawa!Copy !req
416. H-Hey... Kita-san?Copy !req
417. I e-enjoyed hanging out with you all today.Copy !req
418. I th-think I can face school
starting tomorrow.Copy !req
419. Probably.Copy !req
420. Really? I'm glad to hear it!Copy !req
421. Let's enjoy the new term together, too!Copy !req
422. Sure.Copy !req
423. This memory of summer will fuel me
through to winter break.Copy !req
424. Hitori-chan! It's morning!Copy !req
425. I'm coming in!Copy !req
426. You're still in bed?Copy !req
427. You'll be late to school your first day back!Copy !req
428. Don't feel good. Wanna stay home.Copy !req
429. Oh, Hitori-chan. Lying again
