1. It's spring! The exciting
first day of a new term!
Copy !req
2. "Opening Ceremony"
Copy !req
3. We are now officially
second-year students!
Copy !req
4. The new first-years were adorable!
Copy !req
5. You two should have come to
the opening ceremony to see them.
Copy !req
6. Not worth it.
Copy !req
7. I'm already in hay fever hell here.
Copy !req
8. I'd blow a fuse for real if I had
to sit out there with no escape.
Copy !req
9. Just take some medicine.
Copy !req
10. It doesn't work. Maybe I took
too many drugs in my reckless youth...
Copy !req
11. What "drugs" are you talking about?
Copy !req
12. Anyway, where's the prince?
Copy !req
13. He's still busy with his work
on the ceremony committee.
Copy !req
14. Huh, sounds rough. I bet he's getting
first-year love attacks right off the bat.
Copy !req
15. Excuse me.
Copy !req
16. Sempai, I lost my student ID...
Copy !req
17. I don't see what
I'm supposed to do about that.
Copy !req
18. What? But—
Copy !req
19. Do you remember where you last had it?
Copy !req
20. Let's go look. Can you tell me
your name and class?
Copy !req
21. Absolutely! I'm Satomi Arimori,
age 15, Scorpio, blood type B!
Copy !req
22. My hobby is handicrafts,
and my best feature is my slim ankles!
Copy !req
23. I'm Rina Sonomiya! Lots of people
say I look like Kanna Hashimoto!
Copy !req
24. Well you don't, dummy!
Copy !req
25. Me next! My name is...!
Copy !req
26. Soma, I'm too scared
to even be jealous of you.
Copy !req
27. The prince might end up
student council president this year.
Copy !req
28. The current president's
got some issues anyway.
Copy !req
29. I think Yuki-kun would rather not.
Copy !req
30. Here.
Copy !req
31. Thanks.
Copy !req
32. No problem.
Copy !req
33. I'd almost forgotten what it was like
to always have you with me
Copy !req
34. You were always by my side
Copy !req
35. Giving my life meaning
Copy !req
36. Goodbye until we meet again
Copy !req
37. I'll say thank you with a smile
Copy !req
38. Oh please, keep being the person closest to me
Copy !req
39. My heart only needed you to be strong
Copy !req
40. I know that my path to tomorrow
Copy !req
41. Is right here with you again
Copy !req
42. "Fruits Basket"
Copy !req
43. Tohru-kun?
Copy !req
44. I picked up waves from the guardian seating
that seemed to be Shigure-san's...
Copy !req
45. Oh, yes, he's here.
Copy !req
46. Some new Somas entered as first-years!
Copy !req
47. Haa-kun and Momicchi are
essentially younger brothers to me.
Copy !req
48. Clearly I must attend the ceremony
and witness their glorious debut!
Copy !req
49. Why are you giving me those
blatantly suspicious looks?
Copy !req
50. Surely you don't think that I, Shigure,
am attending to ogle high school girls?
Copy !req
51. It's terrible how kids these days
lack all lyrical sentiment. Just terrible!
Copy !req
52. Idiot.
Copy !req
53. Hold on, you're saying
there are more Somas here now?
Copy !req
54. Yes, two boys. One of them
was at the culture festival.
Copy !req
55. Kyon, go get them.
Copy !req
56. Yes. Bring them here.
Copy !req
57. Why me? Just send her!
Copy !req
58. You're planning to go say hi anyway, I bet.
Copy !req
59. Yes, I am!
Copy !req
60. Why should Tohru-kun
be troubled with such errands?
Copy !req
61. But troubling me is fine?
Copy !req
62. Yep.
Copy !req
63. U-Um, I really was planning to go say hello,
so it's completely fine.
Copy !req
64. But would you like to come with me, Kyo-kun?
Copy !req
65. Come on, why should I have
to see them even at school?
Copy !req
66. It might feel a little different
seeing them at school! It could be fun!
Copy !req
67. See you later!
Copy !req
68. He's getting worse and worse
at saying no to her.
Copy !req
69. It's entertaining.
Copy !req
70. Have you met a pair of guys named Soma?
One blond and one with white hair?
Copy !req
71. Y-Yes, they're in our class!
Copy !req
72. —Go get them.
—Okay!
Copy !req
73. Sheesh. If she wanted to see them,
she could've at least asked their class number.
Copy !req
74. Why's she such a space cadet?
Copy !req
75. Hey, check her out. Isn't she cute?
Copy !req
76. Definitely.
Copy !req
77. She looks pretty spacey, though.
Copy !req
78. Suits me. Assertive girls are a pain, you know?
Copy !req
79. Heh, fair enough.
Copy !req
80. Let's go talk to her.
Copy !req
81. See? This is what you get
for spacing out, you ditz.
Copy !req
82. R-Right! Huh...?
Copy !req
83. At least be on the lookout when you're alone!
Copy !req
84. It'll be your own fault if someone
kidnaps you while you're that off-guard.
Copy !req
85. R-Right!
Copy !req
86. When you're alone, I said.
Copy !req
87. You can space out all you want
when I'm with you.
Copy !req
88. Right.
Copy !req
89. I-I didn't mean that in a weird way, okay?
Copy !req
90. What do you mean, "weird"?
Copy !req
91. What was I anxious for? Am I stupid?
Copy !req
92. Hallo!
Copy !req
93. Tohru!
Copy !req
94. Momiji-kun!
Copy !req
95. Hello, Momiji-kun!
Copy !req
96. Are you stupid?
Copy !req
97. K-Kyo-kun, calm down!
Copy !req
98. How am I supposed to be calm
when he comes to school like this?
Copy !req
99. Yo.
Copy !req
100. Oh, Hatsuharu-san!
Copy !req
101. What idiot wears a girl's uniform,
of all things? It's creepy!
Copy !req
102. Even Hot Mess Haru over there
is better than that!
Copy !req
103. Eh... If it looks good on him,
I don't see the problem.
Copy !req
104. It looks good on me, right?
Copy !req
105. Yes, it suits you!
Copy !req
106. "Suits you" doesn't mean "isn't a disgrace."
Copy !req
107. Sheesh. I can't believe
you're wearing that, Momiji.
Copy !req
108. Haru, you, too.
Copy !req
109. Yuki-kun, are you done
with your committee work?
Copy !req
110. No, not yet. I came to check on
these two while I was making rounds.
Copy !req
111. Hey, Tohru, guess what?
Copy !req
112. I got told not to run around
or horseplay at school,
Copy !req
113. because I might crash into a girl.
Copy !req
114. So while I'm at school,
I'm gonna play it cool!
Copy !req
115. Cool? Is that outfit cool?
Copy !req
116. Your dubiousness is justified,
Kyo Soma of Class 2-D!
Copy !req
117. Your orange hair bothers me,
Copy !req
118. but a boy wearing a girl's uniform
is unprecedented! Brazen! Shameless!
Copy !req
119. The teachers may allow it, but I shall not!
Copy !req
120. For I am student council
president Makoto Takei!
Copy !req
121. Otherwise known as commander of
the School Defense Force!
Copy !req
122. Another idiot appears.
Copy !req
123. Just what do you think you're doing,
Hatsuharu Soma? Your hair is white!
Copy !req
124. And you're practically jangling
with jewelry. The audacity!
Copy !req
125. President Takei, that's his natural hair.
Copy !req
126. Oh, Yuki-kun! How nice to see you!
Copy !req
127. But more importantly, natural?
Part of it is black!
Copy !req
128. Even so.
Copy !req
129. I don't believe it! It defies common sense!
Copy !req
130. And we can't say that
it's because he's a cow.
Copy !req
131. Now what's the meaning of your appearance?
Copy !req
132. Is that your natural self, eh, Momiji Soma?
Copy !req
133. Have you no male pride?
Copy !req
134. If you're like this at your age,
your life is on the fast track to failure!
Copy !req
135. But... But this uniform looks better on me!
Copy !req
136. U-Um, please don't be too harsh on him—
Copy !req
137. I am not being harsh, Tohru Honda!
Copy !req
138. I am expressing an opinion
Copy !req
139. —in accordance with common sense.
Copy !req
140. —Shut up.
—in accordance with common sense.
Copy !req
141. Quit playing king of the hill, you human trash.
Copy !req
142. Wh-Wh-Wh-Wha—
Copy !req
143. —Oi, Haru!
—Fine, let me ask you:
Copy !req
144. —Um, Hatsuharu-san...
—are guys wearing neckties never muggers?
Copy !req
145. Are guys without piercings never bullies?
Copy !req
146. Do guys with black hair never murder people?
Copy !req
147. Who do you think you are, eh? God?
Copy !req
148. Dark has arrived.
Copy !req
149. Well, ain't that something!
Give us a few words, God! Go on!
Copy !req
150. Mr. President!
Copy !req
151. Oi! Cut it out, he's got no training!
Copy !req
152. Butt out, you stupid cat!
Copy !req
153. Don't call me stupid, you damn brat!
Copy !req
154. Say what? Don't act like you're so great.
Copy !req
155. You ran from our last fight
with your tail between your legs.
Copy !req
156. You're the one who called that fight off!
Copy !req
157. —What, are you on his side?
—Mr. President!
Copy !req
158. —You think he's right?
—Stay with us!
Copy !req
159. —You're both wrong, nitwit!
—Want some candy, Tohru?
Copy !req
160. Hey, ladies.
Copy !req
161. Don't drag them into it.
Copy !req
162. What do you think?
Copy !req
163. Take Momiji there—don't you
think he's fine in that uniform?
Copy !req
164. He'll grow eventually. What's the harm
in waiting to dress like a man until then?
Copy !req
165. He'll be a real looker, trust me.
Copy !req
166. Want some candy?
Copy !req
167. —He's fine.
—Don't let him brainwash you!
Copy !req
168. Wh-Wh-What's the matter with you?
This is unheard-of!
Copy !req
169. It's always best to wear
what looks good on you, huh?
Copy !req
170. Unacceptable! That's pure selfishness,
and unfair to other students—
Copy !req
171. You just won't quit.
Copy !req
172. Okay, then, what if Yuki wore a girl's uniform?
Copy !req
173. President Takei...
Copy !req
174. —It's fine.
—It's not fine!
Copy !req
175. Haru, I'm cutting ties with you
if you don't give it a rest.
Copy !req
176. Rhetorical, it was just rhetorical. Don't be mad.
Copy !req
177. President Takei...
Copy !req
178. Magnificent.
Copy !req
179. Don't imagine it!
Copy !req
180. O-Oh, dear. I seem to have
gotten carried away.
Copy !req
181. You're a formidable opponent, Hatsuharu Soma.
Copy !req
182. Can you prove that's your natural color, then?
Copy !req
183. Sure can!
Copy !req
184. Oho, you have proof? Hard evidence that—
Copy !req
185. W-Wait...
Copy !req
186. Um... excuse me...?
Copy !req
187. Incontrovertible proof. I see I still
have much to learn about the world.
Copy !req
188. —Did he show him?
—He showed him.
Copy !req
189. You win for today!
Copy !req
190. But I'll get you all next time!
Copy !req
191. See you later, Momiji-kun!
Copy !req
192. What did that guy come here to do?
Copy !req
193. Um...
Copy !req
194. How did you prove that
was your natural hair color?
Copy !req
195. Wanna do it and find out? I'm in if you are.
Copy !req
196. It's fine, we don't have to be
hugging each other to—
Copy !req
197. Dark is the one guy I can't handle.
Copy !req
198. E-Er...
Copy !req
199. Never mind. Don't worry about it, Honda-san.
Copy !req
200. I'm kinda tired now.
Copy !req
201. Oh, yeah? You're tired, huh?
Copy !req
202. Oh, that's the bell!
Copy !req
203. Would you be willing to meet my friends
before you go home today?
Copy !req
204. Your friends? Sure, of course!
Copy !req
205. Thank you.
Copy !req
206. That reminds me— Hey, Yuki and Kyo!
Copy !req
207. Could you stay behind?
I need to tell you something.
Copy !req
208. I'll go on ahead, then.
Copy !req
209. Sorry, Tohru.
Copy !req
210. It's no problem!
Copy !req
211. What's with the formal request?
You know I'll thrash you if it's something dumb.
Copy !req
212. Yeah.
Copy !req
213. Wow, that was a big to-do!
Copy !req
214. But if every day is like that,
it may wear out Yuki-kun and Kyo-kun...
Copy !req
215. You look like you're having fun.
Copy !req
216. I heard that we... have a visitor.
Copy !req
217. It's Akito.
Copy !req
218. There are things that I wanted.
Things I pictured, inside that dark room.
Copy !req
219. They were...
Copy !req
220. Apparently, Akito suddenly said,
"I'll come along."
Copy !req
221. We thought we should tell you two.
Copy !req
222. Especially if you don't want to cross paths.
Copy !req
223. A-Akito-san...?
Copy !req
224. That's right...
Copy !req
225. Tohru Honda.
Copy !req
226. I'm very pleased to meet you!
Copy !req
227. Wh-Why is Akito-san at our school?
Should we really be meeting so casually?
Copy !req
228. I didn't expect someone so young.
And just as beautiful as Yuki-kun...
Copy !req
229. And...
Copy !req
230. This is the person who hurt Hatori-san's eye...
Copy !req
231. Well, you strike me as feminine and gentle.
Copy !req
232. Thank goodness you seem to be a good person.
Copy !req
233. And most importantly, you're quite cute.
Copy !req
234. What? Oh, no, you flatter—
Copy !req
235. Don't get flustered. You really are cute.
Copy !req
236. Sorry it took me so long to introduce myself.
I'm just rather shy of strangers.
Copy !req
237. Are you angry?
Copy !req
238. N-No, not at all!
Copy !req
239. Oh, good. Well, let me
formally introduce myself, then.
Copy !req
240. I'm Akito, the current Soma family head.
Pleased to meet you.
Copy !req
241. O-Oh, no, the pleasure is mine!
Copy !req
242. A-Akito seems softer than
I'd imagined, somehow...
Copy !req
243. I'd like us to get along well.
Copy !req
244. And please take care of Yuki and the others.
Copy !req
245. Akito!
Copy !req
246. Ah, Yuki!
Copy !req
247. I've missed you, Yuki!
Copy !req
248. You know, it feels like it's
been forever since I last saw you.
Copy !req
249. You're looking grown-up.
Copy !req
250. —And taller—
—What did you do?
Copy !req
251. What did you do to Honda-san?
Copy !req
252. Nothing.
Copy !req
253. I was just saying hello.
Copy !req
254. Right, Tohru-san? Wasn't I just saying hello?
Copy !req
255. Um, yes!
Copy !req
256. More importantly, Yuki...
Copy !req
257. there's something I really want to ask you.
Copy !req
258. Why did you skip New Year's?
Copy !req
259. Why would you do that?
Copy !req
260. And when I've become so generous lately, too.
Copy !req
261. When you do things like that,
it seriously hurts my feelings.
Copy !req
262. Do I have to reeducate you, I wonder?
Copy !req
263. In your special room?
Copy !req
264. Will I be forced to spend long days
teaching you proper disposition again?
Copy !req
265. I-I'm sorry. We have to
go back to our classroom...
Copy !req
266. or, um, we'll get in trouble...
Copy !req
267. Oh, right. Sorry.
Copy !req
268. I should be going back
to Shigure and company, too.
Copy !req
269. They're probably worried.
Copy !req
270. Yuki, I hope you have a fun school life here.
Copy !req
271. It'd make me happy if you
came to visit sometime soon.
Copy !req
272. I shoved my way
between them without thinking.
Copy !req
273. I didn't know what
they were talking about, but...
Copy !req
274. I think Akito must be...
Copy !req
275. someone scary.
Copy !req
276. That look... maybe that's
what "hostility" means.
Copy !req
277. Am I... hated?
Copy !req
278. But...
Copy !req
279. —Honda-san.
—Yes?
Copy !req
280. Did Akito really not...
say anything strange to you...?
Copy !req
281. N-Nothing at all, I promise.
We really were just saying hello.
Copy !req
282. Okay.
Copy !req
283. But why Akito-san hates me isn't
the most important thing right now.
Copy !req
284. Yuki-kun, let's play!
Copy !req
285. School lets out early today,
Copy !req
286. so I was talking with Uo-chan and the gang
about having some fun afterwards.
Copy !req
287. Let's seize the moment and
all play something together!
Copy !req
288. Right now, I just want to banish the terror
of Akito-san from Yuki-kun's mind.
Copy !req
289. Paper team and Rock team!
Copy !req
290. Why do I have to join? And why badminton?
Copy !req
291. Real men don't bitch about details.
Copy !req
292. I have to play wearing a mask, you know!
Copy !req
293. You don't have to play!
Copy !req
294. What are we in groups for?
What are the rules?
Copy !req
295. What? There aren't any.
Copy !req
296. No rules are necessary in badminton.
Copy !req
297. You serve with all your might,
and return with all your might.
Copy !req
298. I suppose you could say
the first one to collapse loses.
Copy !req
299. I like it. Easy to understand.
Copy !req
300. Too easy!
Copy !req
301. Oh, shut up already.
Just go man your battle station.
Copy !req
302. Battle station?
Copy !req
303. Here we go, prince!
Time to take Carrots down!
Copy !req
304. Excuse me, Gangster Girl?
Copy !req
305. Shall we, Yuki-kun?
Copy !req
306. Ready, go!
Copy !req
307. Tohru-kun is "ugly," apparently.
Copy !req
308. On the car ride home...
Copy !req
309. She's really ugly. The worst.
Copy !req
310. She seems stupid, too.
Copy !req
311. With a pathetic girl like that,
I don't need to worry.
Copy !req
312. Yuki is bound to come back to me.
Copy !req
313. After all, he's still scared when he sees me.
Copy !req
314. That proves he can't forget me, doesn't it?
Copy !req
315. If you lock a kid up in a dark room
Copy !req
316. and psychologically torture him for that long...
Copy !req
317. Get me out.
Copy !req
318. Get me out of here.
Copy !req
319. I guess that would be
too traumatic to forget.
Copy !req
320. But Akito doesn't understand.
Copy !req
321. Just as there are people who inflict pain,
Copy !req
322. there are people who try to soothe that pain.
Copy !req
323. If nothing else, that gives us courage.
Copy !req
324. Plus, there's the other thing.
Copy !req
325. Tohru-kun is so cute,
you just gotta love her!
Copy !req
326. That sounds criminal coming from you.
Copy !req
327. There are things that I wanted.
Things I pictured to myself.
Copy !req
328. Parents who would hug me.
Copy !req
329. A home I'd want to return to.
Copy !req
330. A place where everyone smiled.
Copy !req
331. A me that everyone wouldn't leave...
Copy !req
332. A warm place.
Copy !req
333. A warm person.
Copy !req
334. They really exist.
Copy !req
335. They're real.
Copy !req
336. It's sunset already.
Time flies when you're having fun.
Copy !req
337. I'll see you tomorrow, Tohru-kun.
Copy !req
338. How come she's not exhausted
like the rest of us?
Copy !req
339. Guess we should go home, too.
Copy !req
340. I was worried at first...
Copy !req
341. but Yuki seems okay.
Copy !req
342. Honda-san, thank you.
Copy !req
343. Mom, I met the head
of the Soma family today.
Copy !req
344. He struck me as a very unusual person.
Copy !req
345. Is he one of the zodiac, too?
Copy !req
346. To be honest, I felt a little scared of him.
Copy !req
347. Well, shall we go home, too?
Copy !req
348. Yes!
Copy !req
349. But after spending some time with my friends,
that fear feels worlds away.
Copy !req
350. "How Have You Been, My Brother?"
Copy !req
351. How have you been, my brother?
Copy !req
