1. What will we be able to harvest in May?Copy !req
2. Hmm, carrots... turnips... and chives.Copy !req
3. Strawberries, too.Copy !req
4. Yay, the time is coming! I look forward to it!Copy !req
5. Yeah, me, too.Copy !req
6. —Are you okay?
—Yes.Copy !req
7. It's colder than usual
for April today, isn't it?Copy !req
8. You go back inside, Honda-san.
I'm almost done here anyway.Copy !req
9. But...Copy !req
10. And I'm hungry, too.Copy !req
11. I'll take you up on your offer
and go start cooking, then.Copy !req
12. Yes, please.Copy !req
13. It's been a few days now
since I met Akito-san.Copy !req
14. Yuki-kun is looking as well as ever, though.Copy !req
15. I'm really glad.Copy !req
16. What happened?Copy !req
17. There are clothes lying on the path.Copy !req
18. It's almost as if someone undressed here...Copy !req
19. Could a zodiac member have—Copy !req
20. Honda-san!Copy !req
21. Honda-san, what's wrong?Copy !req
22. S-S-Something crept underneath my clothes!Copy !req
23. I'd almost forgotten what it was like
to always have you with meCopy !req
24. You were always by my sideCopy !req
25. Giving my life meaningCopy !req
26. Goodbye until we meet againCopy !req
27. I'll say thank you with a smileCopy !req
28. Oh please, keep being the person closest to meCopy !req
29. My heart only needed you to be strongCopy !req
30. I know that my path to tomorrowCopy !req
31. Is right here with you againCopy !req
32. "Fruits Basket"Copy !req
33. Damn, I'm hungry.Copy !req
34. I bet Tohru-kun will be back soon.Copy !req
35. Forget it, I'll make myself something.Copy !req
36. Hold on, Kyo-kun. For now...Copy !req
37. let's snack on this and wait for her.Copy !req
38. You're just messing with me to kill time!Copy !req
39. My, my! You mustn't waste food, darling!Copy !req
40. Oh, look, they're back—Copy !req
41. Skin this thing and cook it. Right now.Copy !req
42. Huh?Copy !req
43. A-ya?Copy !req
44. Well, if it isn't A-ya! What brings you here?Copy !req
45. U-Um—Copy !req
46. —Skin this thing.
—Let's all stay calm, okay, Yuki-kun?Copy !req
47. This is Ayame Soma.
As you can see, he's the Snake.Copy !req
48. Right...Copy !req
49. The cold really does a number on him.Copy !req
50. Chilly weather transforms him
like that sometimes.Copy !req
51. Winters must be hard.Copy !req
52. Me, A-ya, and Hatori are the same age,Copy !req
53. so we were together from
elementary through high school.Copy !req
54. It's only natural that
we became the true BFF Trio!Copy !req
55. Oh, really? Wow!Copy !req
56. Why "true"?Copy !req
57. I can picture Hatori's suffering.Copy !req
58. So, Yuki-kun, what were you so mad about?Copy !req
59. It's too appalling to say out loud.Copy !req
60. Oh, come on, that's not a nice thing
to say about your own brother.Copy !req
61. Huh?Copy !req
62. I shall explain the incident myself!Copy !req
63. I was dreadfully cold in that moment.Copy !req
64. I sought warmth.Copy !req
65. When a warm human body approaches me
at such a time, I must latch on to it.Copy !req
66. Is it instinct, is it not?Copy !req
67. Greetings, all!Copy !req
68. How have you been, my brother?Copy !req
69. It's Yuki-kun, Adult Version.Copy !req
70. Not an acceptable excuse! Consider
yourself lucky we didn't call the police!Copy !req
71. What did that jerk do to you, exactly?Copy !req
72. —Oh, just, um...
—Huh, so Kyonkichi really does live here.Copy !req
73. I told you not to call me that!Copy !req
74. —Well, Kyonkichi aside—
—I said stop it!Copy !req
75. Missed ya since New Year's, Gure-san.Copy !req
76. Missed ya since New Year's!Copy !req
77. You'd better not have cheated on me
during our time apart, Gure-san.Copy !req
78. No man would do such a thing
while he had you in his life, A-ya.Copy !req
79. —Great!
—What's great?Copy !req
80. Well... apparently his personality
is different from Yuki-kun's.Copy !req
81. So anyway, this is Tohru Honda.Copy !req
82. You came here to meet her, right?Copy !req
83. Yes, indeed! I apologize
for the incident earlier.Copy !req
84. I am none other than Yuki's
older brother, Ayame!Copy !req
85. R-Right! I'm pleased to meet you!Copy !req
86. I see, so you are the "princess"!Copy !req
87. Pardon?Copy !req
88. The lone belle in this shabby den
of beasts. The captive princess!Copy !req
89. Nah, we're not holding her captive.Copy !req
90. Would you stop making fun of her?Copy !req
91. How rude. Whatever you may think,
I am paying her the utmost respect.Copy !req
92. All right, Princess, make some tea.
And bring us lunch as quick as you can.Copy !req
93. That's not respect!Copy !req
94. A-ya, that's how you treat
a handmaid, not a princess.Copy !req
95. Is it? Bring lunch at your leisure, then!Copy !req
96. That wasn't the issue!Copy !req
97. Oh, why must this be
so complicated? Fine, then.Copy !req
98. Tohru-kun!Copy !req
99. —Yes?
—We shall eat out!Copy !req
100. U-Um—Copy !req
101. Fear not! It shall be my treat!Copy !req
102. No point in getting angry at me.Copy !req
103. Go ahead, order whatever you like.Copy !req
104. —I shall be having the gyoza lunch plate.Copy !req
105. —Is that a woman?
—I shall be having the gyoza lunch plate.Copy !req
106. —I... think it's a man?
—I shall be having the gyoza lunch plate.Copy !req
107. —I... think it's a man?
—R-Right...Copy !req
108. You don't need to worry about Yuki
and the others. They're not children.Copy !req
109. They'll manage lunch on their own.Copy !req
110. But they're giving me a home, so—Copy !req
111. Are you saying you cannot
accept a meal from me?Copy !req
112. N-No, of course not!Copy !req
113. Good.Copy !req
114. Cook, we'll have two gyoza plates.Copy !req
115. Yessir!Copy !req
116. I'm getting swept along.Copy !req
117. I'm surprised, to be honest.
Yuki-kun never mentioned having a brother.Copy !req
118. He wouldn't have mentioned it.
As you can tell, we don't get along.Copy !req
119. Well, perhaps it's more accurate
to say that we aren't close.Copy !req
120. We're ten years apart, and Yuki
was more or less quarantined from birth,Copy !req
121. partly because he was sickly.Copy !req
122. I did as I pleased, and spared him
hardly a thought beyondCopy !req
123. occasionally remembering I had a brother.Copy !req
124. Quarantined?Copy !req
125. By the time I noticed it,
the rift between us had grown deep,Copy !req
126. with steep cliffs on either side.Copy !req
127. So, I hear that Yuki met with Akito at school.Copy !req
128. Oh, um...Copy !req
129. You did, too, didn't you?Copy !req
130. I can't tell you the details myself,
but to Yuki, Akito is a source of terror.Copy !req
131. It's more extreme than the fear
the rest of us feel.Copy !req
132. I worried that meeting Akito
might have made him depressed,Copy !req
133. so I actually came to check on Yuki,
more than to meet you.Copy !req
134. But he seems fine.Copy !req
135. I was disappointed, frankly.Copy !req
136. I wanted to take advantage
of the chance to act brotherly.Copy !req
137. Do you... regret letting
the rift grow between you?Copy !req
138. Things we didn't understand as children
become strangely clear as we age.Copy !req
139. What we should have done.
What we should have said.Copy !req
140. We start to realize those things.Copy !req
141. What I feel may be closer
to repentance than regret.Copy !req
142. Perhaps I want to let
my ignorant younger self off the hookCopy !req
143. by repenting now.Copy !req
144. Perhaps that's why children
say adults are high-handed.Copy !req
145. You know, my mother once saidCopy !req
146. that she only understood how parents feel
after becoming a parent herself.Copy !req
147. But she also said that what she had
to understand, what she mustn't forget,Copy !req
148. was her childhood self.Copy !req
149. The first time she did a flip on the jungle gym,
the first time she got yelled at...Copy !req
150. She said if she could always remember
how she felt as a child,Copy !req
151. she could still communicate with children
when she grew up, or became a parent.Copy !req
152. Even if she couldn't understand 100%,
she could at least meet them halfway.Copy !req
153. And isn't it more fun to think that way?Copy !req
154. Er, s-so what I'm trying to say is, um...Copy !req
155. It's not too late! You and Yuki-kun
can meet each other halfway!Copy !req
156. I'm sorry.Copy !req
157. No, I was just impressed that you said that.Copy !req
158. Yes! My mother is the best in the universe!Copy !req
159. I meant you, actually.Copy !req
160. Anyway, I can see why Yuki is doing well.Copy !req
161. Maybe there's still time for us, eh?
I guess I'll give this a shot.Copy !req
162. Here you go!Copy !req
163. Ah, here's our food. Let's dig in, shall we?Copy !req
164. Yes!Copy !req
165. And you...Copy !req
166. You keep being friends with Yuki, too.Copy !req
167. In that moment, Ayame-san was...Copy !req
168. I'm home!Copy !req
169. Honda-san, are you okay?Copy !req
170. Yes. Were you three able to eat?Copy !req
171. Forget that, did my brother
cause you any trouble?Copy !req
172. No, he bought me a gyoza lunch.Copy !req
173. Say, Yuki-kun...Copy !req
174. Do you hate your brother?Copy !req
175. N-Never mind, I was just wondering! I'm sorry.Copy !req
176. I guess it's more like I find him difficult.Copy !req
177. I can never really tell what he's thinking...Copy !req
178. If you find me difficult,
you can simply overcome the difficulty!Copy !req
179. Now is the time for us
to meet each other halfway...Copy !req
180. my brother!Copy !req
181. I-I'm sorry! He transformed
again right after we left!Copy !req
182. He said that snakes die if they get too cold...Copy !req
183. And I'm a snake!Copy !req
184. You're no brother of mine, you scum!Copy !req
185. Yuki-kun!Copy !req
186. One cannot alter the truth, Yuki!Copy !req
187. Oh, hi. Welcome back, you two.Copy !req
188. But Yuki-kun, in that moment, Ayame-san...Copy !req
189. was smiling a brotherly smile.Copy !req
190. Wanna sleep more...Copy !req
191. I'll kill you!Copy !req
192. I had no choice but to do that.Copy !req
193. Yuki locked his door to keep me out.Copy !req
194. You could've slept in Shigure's room!Copy !req
195. Gure-san never lets me get any sleep.Copy !req
196. Come on, honey, not in front of the children.Copy !req
197. Cut that out!Copy !req
198. —How long are you gonna be here, exactly?
—Ignore him, ignore him, ignore him...Copy !req
199. Not to fear!Copy !req
200. I'll sleep in Tohru-kun's room tonight.Copy !req
201. Go home!Copy !req
202. I get the feeling the rift
between them is only getting deeper...Copy !req
203. Huh, so Aya is visiting.Copy !req
204. I haven't seen him since New Year's,
either. Aya lives outside, too.Copy !req
205. He does?Copy !req
206. Maybe I'll come over and see him.Copy !req
207. I shouldn't get in the way of
their brotherly banding, though.Copy !req
208. That's "bonding."Copy !req
209. How was Yuki? Did he seem glad?Copy !req
210. W-Well...Copy !req
211. Oh, it's Yuki.Copy !req
212. Is he sick?Copy !req
213. Hmm? Um...Copy !req
214. Right, I understand the situation.Copy !req
215. Is it okay for Aya to ignore
his shop, though? He's the owner.Copy !req
216. Wow, Ayame-san runs a business?Copy !req
217. He sells, like, wedding dresses...Copy !req
218. and nurse and maid outfits...Copy !req
219. Is it a clothing store?Copy !req
220. Aya says he sells men's dreams!Copy !req
221. We're home.Copy !req
222. —What good boys you are,
coming straight home after school.Copy !req
223. —He's still here.
—He's still here!
—What good boys you are, coming straight home after school.Copy !req
224. —What good boys you are,
coming straight home after school.Copy !req
225. Were you that eager to talk with me?Copy !req
226. Personally, I'd prefer more time
alone with Tohru-kun.Copy !req
227. That's what we were worried about!Copy !req
228. What were you looking at?Copy !req
229. A photo album from our high school days.Copy !req
230. Tori-san is there, too, see?Copy !req
231. Young and handsome, right?Copy !req
232. Yes!Copy !req
233. So your hair was already long back then?Copy !req
234. Indeed! Although it was against school rules.Copy !req
235. Yuki, you come look, too.
It's a chance to get to know me!Copy !req
236. I'll pass.Copy !req
237. You're so stubborn.
Well, you leave me no choice.Copy !req
238. Now I am forced to explain why
I was permitted to keep my hair long!Copy !req
239. Why?Copy !req
240. —Yes, it all happened at
the beginning of freshman year...
—He just wants to tell the story.Copy !req
241. I don't care!Copy !req
242. I may have approved your hair color,
but I don't recall approving that length!Copy !req
243. Get it cut before tomorrow.Copy !req
244. But Mr. Principal...Copy !req
245. I said no. Rules exist to be followed.Copy !req
246. I am a member of a royal family.Copy !req
247. What?Copy !req
248. I've kept it a secret until now,
but I am actually from another country.Copy !req
249. Wh-What the heck?Copy !req
250. The reason why members of our royal line
must always have long hairCopy !req
251. arises from a divine revelation
that our first king, King Lulubara,Copy !req
252. had at the age of four.Copy !req
253. In it, the great Kandla chanted "ma ludu muni"
as his forehead shone with blue light,Copy !req
254. upon which King Lulubara's body was
unleashed like a colt struck by a whip,Copy !req
255. and along with the passionate
waves of lovingkindness,Copy !req
256. willowy hair streamed from his head
like unto trees bending in a light breeze.Copy !req
257. Well, might you wonder where
the great Kashipalu was at this time.Copy !req
258. He was in his chambers, sleeping
as soundly as a bud waiting to flower,Copy !req
259. but when his heart suddenly
began to beat wildly, he spoke!Copy !req
260. "Kampanil!" he said.Copy !req
261. —In our language, the word "kampanil" means—Copy !req
262. —Right, sorry, I have an
appointment I need to go to.
—In our language, the word "kampanil" means—Copy !req
263. I haven't explained Kandla yet, sir.Copy !req
264. Never mind! You can have long hair!Copy !req
265. And thus, he was persuaded
to give me permission.Copy !req
266. Y-You're royalty, Ayame-san?Copy !req
267. Obviously he was lying, you dolt!Copy !req
268. Ah, the memories.Copy !req
269. Unbelievable.Copy !req
270. I'll tell you something even more unbelievable:Copy !req
271. A-ya was the student council president!Copy !req
272. That's amazing!Copy !req
273. He was more popular than you would think.Copy !req
274. "Student Council President"Copy !req
275. People liked his good looks, sure,
but what appealed to them mostCopy !req
276. —was the sensational behavior.
- Stop messing around and get going.Copy !req
277. School rules and events changed a lot
during his tenure, and got more fun, too.Copy !req
278. Maybe he had a talent for leadership.Copy !req
279. Personally, I thought Tori-san would
have been a better choice for the job.Copy !req
280. It's a lot of responsibility.Copy !req
281. Do you remember what
happened on our school trip?Copy !req
282. That's not something I'll ever forget.Copy !req
283. What? What happened?Copy !req
284. W-Wow...Copy !req
285. Yuki-kun seems curious about
Ayame-san now! It's his chance!Copy !req
286. Now is your chance to cross
the rift, Ayame-san!Copy !req
287. You see, a few of the students
decided to visit, well,Copy !req
288. the pleasure district.Copy !req
289. What?Copy !req
290. Now, now! Do not judge them
without hearing their side.Copy !req
291. Any red-blooded boy might find
himself doing the same thing.Copy !req
292. Also, we didn't go along.Copy !req
293. We were already bored with that whole scene.Copy !req
294. —He just...
—... casually admitted something really extreme...Copy !req
295. And then, in a stroke of bad luck,
the teachers found out.Copy !req
296. They wanted to expel these students.Copy !req
297. Naturally, I protested this
in my capacity as president.Copy !req
298. And so a meeting was heldCopy !req
299. between the students, their guardians,
the principal, and the teachers.Copy !req
300. Minors such as ourselves journeying
to a pleasure districtCopy !req
301. is certainly not something to be proud of.Copy !req
302. If we do not uphold the law,
there can be no social order.Copy !req
303. However, I find it regrettable that
sexual desire itself is being rejectedCopy !req
304. as if it were the source of all evil.Copy !req
305. You see, it is my view that sexual desire
contributes to the great taskCopy !req
306. of maintaining the unbroken
chain of human history.Copy !req
307. Mr. President...Copy !req
308. —Ayame-kun is being unusually earnest today.
—Is that shameful? Is that a crime?Copy !req
309. —So he was just pretending to be
a moron this whole time.
—And so I propose this:Copy !req
310. When youths struggle
with lust that has no outletCopy !req
311. within the indeterminate state
called adolescence...Copy !req
312. let us extend a helping hand!Copy !req
313. From now on, you may all direct your lust...Copy !req
314. toward me!Copy !req
315. It is only natural that I,
as the students' representative,Copy !req
316. accept their desires!Copy !req
317. Moreover, surely their guardians have
less cause to fear acts between men!Copy !req
318. Come! Lust for me with all you have!Copy !req
319. Indeed, should you wonder whether
I am a "bottom" or a "top"...Copy !req
320. I am a bottom!Copy !req
321. You're a moron!Copy !req
322. A brilliant story, is it not?Copy !req
323. It's a moronic story!Copy !req
324. Excuse you. They all escaped
expulsion thanks to that speech.Copy !req
325. Why?Copy !req
326. Because Haa-san smoothed
things over afterwards.Copy !req
327. Well, Yuki? Do you understand
your brother a little better now?Copy !req
328. Get out.Copy !req
329. The rift... The rift...Copy !req
330. Even that didn't work? I shall tell youCopy !req
331. —about the chairman's statue, then.Copy !req
332. —Not necessary. Get out.
—about the chairman's statue, then.Copy !req
333. —Not necessary. Get out.
—It all happened one summer day.Copy !req
334. —Get out!
—It all happened one summer day.Copy !req
335. —The rift! The rift!
—I went to school only to find that the statue
of the school chairman that stood in courtyardCopy !req
336. —Shut up and get out!
—I went to school only to find that the statue
of the school chairman that stood in courtyardCopy !req
337. —Shut up and get out!
—had been painted
fluorescent pink.Copy !req
338. —Shigure! Do something about this guy!
—had been painted
fluorescent pink.Copy !req
339. —Shigure! Do something about this guy!
—Obviously, the teachers were
hell-bent on finding the perpetr—Copy !req
340. —What? Why? This is fun!
—Obviously, the teachers were
hell-bent on finding the perpetr—Copy !req
341. Yes, this is fun!Copy !req
342. Well, it's painful for us!Copy !req
343. The thing is, he basically
never listens to me, either.Copy !req
344. If anything, he only listens to—Copy !req
345. Oi.Copy !req
346. You left your door unlocked, so I let myself in.Copy !req
347. Hatori-san!Copy !req
348. My goodness.Copy !req
349. Tori-san! Why the unexpected visit?Copy !req
350. Hatsuharu told me to come collect you.Copy !req
351. Why don't you call it a day
and go home, Ayame?Copy !req
352. —Okay, bye-bye!
—Huh?Copy !req
353. Yuki, it's a shame all the commotion
left us so little time to chat.Copy !req
354. But have no fear, for I shall
visit you again, my beloved brother.Copy !req
355. You're the one who caused the commotion.Copy !req
356. All right, Tori-san, let us go.
Gure-san, see you when I see you.Copy !req
357. Yep! I'll drop by your place.Copy !req
358. Farewell to all!Copy !req
359. Bye.Copy !req
360. What just happened?Copy !req
361. A-ya's always listened
to Haa-san, if no one else.Copy !req
362. Really? Why is that?Copy !req
363. Admiration, he says.Copy !req
364. Haa-san has qualities that
he wants to have, but doesn't,Copy !req
365. so he admires Haa-san and
wants to cherish their friendship.Copy !req
366. A-ya confided that to me once
a long time ago, and he was serious.Copy !req
367. He likes Haa-san, is what it boils down to.Copy !req
368. So because of that,
Hatori wound up being his keeper?Copy !req
369. Also accurate!Copy !req
370. Sorry for causing you trouble.Copy !req
371. If you're sorry, try thinking
a little more before you act.Copy !req
372. I assure you, I did.Copy !req
373. But I can't manage to open Yuki's heart.Copy !req
374. Yuki isn't stupid. He's just young.Copy !req
375. There are still a lot of concessions
he can't make, that's all.Copy !req
376. No need to be anxious.Copy !req
377. Tohru-kun reminded me a little of you.Copy !req
378. You both try your hardest
when it's for other people.Copy !req
379. I really just...Copy !req
380. can't resist that.Copy !req
381. How do you always say what I want to hear?Copy !req
382. I'm no match for you, Tori-san.Copy !req
383. Ayame-san is a lot of fun!Copy !req
384. No, he's a hopeless case.Copy !req
385. Eep! U-Um, but he—Copy !req
386. Still...Copy !req
387. He can get over himself and be friendly
to someone who has what he doesn't, and...Copy !req
388. I think that's... great.Copy !req
