1. The rain should stop soon.
Copy !req
2. Let's wait a little longer.
Copy !req
3. Okay!
Copy !req
4. Say, it's almost time for final exams.
Copy !req
5. We have student council elections
before that, though.
Copy !req
6. Yeah...
Copy !req
7. —President Takei-san insists
that you be his successor, but...
Copy !req
8. —You alone are capable!
Copy !req
9. —It must be you! Rather,
I want it to be you!
Copy !req
10. I suppose it's not something
you want to do, is it?
Copy !req
11. You're right.
Copy !req
12. I don't know what he
and others expect of me,
Copy !req
13. but they've got the wrong idea
about me. It bothers me.
Copy !req
14. The real me is more...
Copy !req
15. More what?
Copy !req
16. Nothing. Never mind.
Copy !req
17. Okay...
Copy !req
18. The rain seems to be tapering off, Yuki-kun!
Copy !req
19. Oh, it's Yuki.
Copy !req
20. Haru!
Copy !req
21. Hatsuharu-san?
Copy !req
22. What are you doing in the rain?
Copy !req
23. What are you doing? You're soaked.
Copy !req
24. Are you lost again?
Copy !req
25. Looking for something.
Copy !req
26. I was looking for this one.
Copy !req
27. What a cute cat!
Copy !req
28. Knew she'd say that.
Copy !req
29. —Honda-san, she's a tiger.
—Huh?
Copy !req
30. Kisa Soma, a tiger.
Copy !req
31. Her bites hurt.
Copy !req
32. Oh, really? S-So she must
be the zodiac tiger.
Copy !req
33. N-Nice to meet you!
Um, I'm Tohru Honda.
Copy !req
34. Honda-san!
Copy !req
35. Eh...
Copy !req
36. "Fruits Basket"
Copy !req
37. Oh, no, you got bitten.
Copy !req
38. Y-Yes...
Copy !req
39. I-I-It surprised me.
Copy !req
40. Kisa, come here and apologize.
Copy !req
41. U-Um, I'm fine, really.
Copy !req
42. Kisa!
Copy !req
43. Yuki-kun, Satchan doesn't talk.
Copy !req
44. —Huh?
—She can't talk.
Copy !req
45. She stopped talking altogether
shortly after entering middle school.
Copy !req
46. According to Tori-nii,
it's a psychological issue.
Copy !req
47. It made her lock away all her words.
Copy !req
48. Stuff happened that made her stop talking.
Copy !req
49. and stopped going to school.
Copy !req
50. Then today, she ran away from home.
Copy !req
51. What?
Copy !req
52. That's why I was looking for her.
Copy !req
53. I was surprised to find her as a tiger.
Copy !req
54. Found ya.
Copy !req
55. Did she bump into someone
of the opposite gender?
Copy !req
56. It seemed like she was just exhausted.
Copy !req
57. So, what actually happened to cause this?
Copy !req
58. You know.
Copy !req
59. What?
Copy !req
60. Bullying.
Copy !req
61. That hurts. What, are you mad?
Copy !req
62. Telling me not to shoot my mouth off?
Copy !req
63. Yeah, right.
Copy !req
64. You know how worried I've been?
Copy !req
65. Your parents are looking
all over for you right now.
Copy !req
66. O-Oh, what should I—
Copy !req
67. —Oh, you're bleeding, Hatsuharu-san!
Copy !req
68. —Calm down, Tohru-kun. She won't go far.
—Oh, you're bleeding, Hatsuharu-san!
Copy !req
69. —Calm down, Tohru-kun. She won't go far.
—We need to stop Kisa-san's bleeding!
Copy !req
70. I'll go stop Kisa-san's bleeding!
Copy !req
71. Calm down!
Copy !req
72. You're too calm, Sensei.
Copy !req
73. Haa-kun, did you quietly turn Dark?
Copy !req
74. Uh-uh. Just grumpy from the pain.
Copy !req
75. Don't know what to do with Kisa.
Copy !req
76. You seem pretty worried.
Copy !req
77. I didn't know you were so close.
Copy !req
78. —Jealous?
—No!
Copy !req
79. —He's no fun.
—Nope.
Copy !req
80. These guys...
Copy !req
81. I just feel like I have to help her,
because she reminds me...
Copy !req
82. of you, when you stopped
talking for a while.
Copy !req
83. You curled up in a corner and went silent.
Copy !req
84. That was the only way
you could protect yourself.
Copy !req
85. She's doing the same.
Copy !req
86. Shut up!
Copy !req
87. Do you have to get so worked up?
Copy !req
88. Yes, I do!
Copy !req
89. Are you ashamed?
Copy !req
90. You always like to rub salt into the wound.
Copy !req
91. It's a bad habit of yours.
Copy !req
92. It's my nature, I'm afraid.
Copy !req
93. Kisa-san!
Copy !req
94. So this is where you were, Kisa-sa—
Copy !req
95. It doesn't hurt. Not at all!
Copy !req
96. N-Not one teeny tiny bit! Nope!
Copy !req
97. Anyway, will you come inside, Kisa-san?
Copy !req
98. Kisa.
Copy !req
99. U-Um...
Copy !req
100. Kisa, my daughter. I've been looking for you.
Copy !req
101. Shigure-san took the trouble to call me.
Copy !req
102. Tell me, what are you doing?
Copy !req
103. Why are you doing this and
causing trouble for everybody?
Copy !req
104. What are you thinking?
Copy !req
105. Do you enjoy making trouble for me?
Copy !req
106. Most mothers of children
possessed by zodiac spirits
Copy !req
107. are either excessively overprotective
or reject their children.
Copy !req
108. So, why didn't you tell me
about the bullying?
Copy !req
109. Why did you run away from home?
Copy !req
110. Why won't you speak?
Copy !req
111. I'm so tired.
Copy !req
112. I can't take this anymore.
Copy !req
113. She couldn't tell you.
Copy !req
114. It's hard to tell someone
Copy !req
115. that you're being bullied.
Copy !req
116. I couldn't tell my mom, either.
Copy !req
117. She found out after a while, though.
Copy !req
118. For some reason,
I started apologizing like crazy.
Copy !req
119. I felt so ashamed.
Copy !req
120. I started to feel ashamed
of myself for being bullied.
Copy !req
121. And I was embarrassed
to let my mom find out.
Copy !req
122. I was scared she wouldn't love me anymore.
Copy !req
123. I was scared...
Copy !req
124. to let people know about
this part of myself.
Copy !req
125. I desperately tried to hide it
by pretending I was okay.
Copy !req
126. That made me feel even more ashamed...
Copy !req
127. and embarrassed.
Copy !req
128. So
Copy !req
129. when my mom said, "It's okay,"
Copy !req
130. I was so relieved.
Copy !req
131. She said that there was nothing
to be embarrassed about,
Copy !req
132. and I cried again, this time in relief.
Copy !req
133. Kisa-san might also feel this way.
Copy !req
134. She didn't want you to hate her.
Copy !req
135. She couldn't tell you because she loves you.
Copy !req
136. Stay here? Kisa will?
Copy !req
137. Some things happened today,
Copy !req
138. and I decided to take her in for a while.
Copy !req
139. What "things"?
Copy !req
140. Probably can't hurt.
Copy !req
141. "Mogeta and Art"
Copy !req
142. It looked like her mom
was nearing her limits, too.
Copy !req
143. Might as well give them time apart to heal.
Copy !req
144. I have no idea what's going on.
Copy !req
145. So where's Kisa?
Copy !req
146. Satchan is stuck to Tohru like a burr.
Copy !req
147. Huh?
Copy !req
148. Did she fall asleep?
Copy !req
149. Yes.
Copy !req
150. She stayed close to you the whole time, huh?
Copy !req
151. She isn't too heavy?
Copy !req
152. No.
Copy !req
153. I envy Kisa.
Copy !req
154. Oh! Wh-Wh—
Copy !req
155. Just for a bit.
Copy !req
156. Let me do this for bit.
Copy !req
157. I was always ashamed of my weakness.
Copy !req
158. But I wanted someone to tell me, "It's okay."
Copy !req
159. To be my support and give me the courage...
Copy !req
160. to want to be strong.
Copy !req
161. It's been three days since
Kisa started living with us.
Copy !req
162. Thanks for waiting.
Copy !req
163. It's a little embarrassing that
you wait for me even at the bathroom.
Copy !req
164. Sh-She's so adorable!
Copy !req
165. Strangely enough,
Kisa-san hasn't left my side
Copy !req
166. these past three days.
Copy !req
167. Which must mean that she likes me.
Copy !req
168. She's like a duckling.
Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Copy !req
169. Doesn't she find that annoying?
Copy !req
170. I love you!
Copy !req
171. She looks happy about it.
Copy !req
172. I don't really get it.
Copy !req
173. Oi, I'm hungry.
Copy !req
174. Oh, okay!
Copy !req
175. Kisa-san, what should we eat tonight?
Copy !req
176. Kisa, you can't even say
what you want to eat?
Copy !req
177. Now, now.
Copy !req
178. Ignore everything this idiotic
and weak-willed fool says.
Copy !req
179. Que será será, Satchan.
Copy !req
180. Oi, get off! Don't touch me! It's creepy!
Copy !req
181. Come on, no need to be shy.
Copy !req
182. —I'm not!
—As you can see, Kisa-san still has not spoken.
Copy !req
183. —Aw, really?
—As you can see, Kisa-san still has not spoken.
Copy !req
184. —Oi, get off! You're heavy!
—As you can see, Kisa-san still has not spoken.
Copy !req
185. Oh, yeah? Make me.
—As you can see, Kisa-san still has not spoken.
Copy !req
186. Ta-da! Let's use this!
Copy !req
187. Oh, gotcha. You'll leave it to chance.
Copy !req
188. Yes.
Copy !req
189. Kisa-san, point to the one you like.
Copy !req
190. You want that one?
Copy !req
191. Here we go!
Copy !req
192. And we have a winner!
Copy !req
193. "Garbage Collection Notice"
Copy !req
194. Tonight, we'll have...
Copy !req
195. "Scrambled Eggs with Chives"
Copy !req
196. scrambled eggs with chives!
Copy !req
197. Someone's getting comfortable here.
Copy !req
198. "Garbage Collection Notice"
Copy !req
199. —Huh? Oh, no, that's not what I meant!
Copy !req
200. —Go ahead. Make it.
—Huh? Oh, no, that's not what I meant!
Copy !req
201. —Go ahead. Make it.
—Um, I'm so sorry!
Copy !req
202. —No, I didn't it mean
it that way. I'm sorry!
Copy !req
203. —I'm sure she'll speak to me
in an adorable voice one day.
—No, I didn't it mean it that way. I'm sorry!
Copy !req
204. —I'm sure she'll speak to me
in an adorable voice one day.
—Kyo and Tohru, sitting in a tree—
Copy !req
205. —Shut up!
—Kyo-kun, you actually
understood that jibe? No way!
Copy !req
206. But...
Copy !req
207. she can't stay at Shii-chan's
house forever, right?
Copy !req
208. What will Kisa do?
Copy !req
209. She's probably thinking that
through right now.
Copy !req
210. She seems like the type to overthink things,
since she's a naturally serious girl.
Copy !req
211. It's probably how she
pushed herself to this point.
Copy !req
212. And there's her mom, too.
Copy !req
213. Momiji-kun.
Copy !req
214. Kisa-san's mom is okay.
Copy !req
215. Yesterday...
Copy !req
216. Is Kisa doing well?
Copy !req
217. Yes.
Copy !req
218. Kisa doesn't really like drier foods.
Copy !req
219. She loves scrambled eggs with chives.
Copy !req
220. Does that mean that
Kisa's Mutti is thinking of her?
Copy !req
221. Otherwise, she wouldn't have called, right?
Copy !req
222. Exactly!
Copy !req
223. Yeah.
Copy !req
224. Still, why was she being bullied?
Copy !req
225. I forget.
Copy !req
226. —Come on.
—I know.
Copy !req
227. I heard my aunts gossiping about it.
Copy !req
228. Kisa would have never told me this.
Copy !req
229. They said it was because
of her looks at first.
Copy !req
230. Like her hair, eyes, and that kind of thing.
Copy !req
231. They said it offended the other students.
Copy !req
232. It's the fate of those possessed by an animal
with unnatural hair color.
Copy !req
233. People made fun of me a lot, too.
Copy !req
234. But you just turned Dark
and knocked them out.
Copy !req
235. I'm better than Kyo.
Copy !req
236. He half-killed them.
Copy !req
237. He was a real problem child.
Copy !req
238. But the aunts said Kisa tried hard, too.
Copy !req
239. She told the others she couldn't help
what her hair and eye color.
Copy !req
240. After that, everybody started
ignoring her instead.
Copy !req
241. And even though they ignored her,
Copy !req
242. they'd laugh when she said something.
Copy !req
243. They'd snicker at her.
Copy !req
244. My... My classmates have
never done that to me.
Copy !req
245. So I could only imagine what it'd be like.
Copy !req
246. I imagined how I'd feel if people
snickered every time I said something.
Copy !req
247. That would... That would make me so sad.
Copy !req
248. All people do is laugh at you.
Copy !req
249. You become timider.
Copy !req
250. Then, you stop speaking,
Copy !req
251. even though you know it'll annoy people.
Copy !req
252. Everything becomes dark,
Copy !req
253. and you suffocate.
Copy !req
254. Your heart... and words die off.
Copy !req
255. Come on, class is starting.
Copy !req
256. Yuki.
Copy !req
257. I'm going to Sensei's house today.
Copy !req
258. I wanna see Kisa.
And I have something for her.
Copy !req
259. Something for her?
Copy !req
260. A letter.
Copy !req
261. From her homeroom teacher.
Copy !req
262. It'll probably make us wanna puke.
Copy !req
263. See you.
Copy !req
264. I don't think being weak is a good thing...
Copy !req
265. but I also don't think "stronger"
necessarily means "better."
Copy !req
266. You sometimes hear
that it's survival of the fittest.
Copy !req
267. But we're humans, not animals.
Copy !req
268. Even those of the zodiac are human.
Copy !req
269. Yes.
Copy !req
270. Yes!
Copy !req
271. I feel a little braver.
Copy !req
272. What's it say?
Copy !req
273. "Soma-san, how are you?
Copy !req
274. Will you come back to school soon?
Copy !req
275. The rest of the class
is also waiting for your return.
Copy !req
276. You can always talk to me,
Copy !req
277. so why not try a little harder
to make friends with everybody?"
Copy !req
278. "The most important thing
is to learn to love yourself.
Copy !req
279. Find something good about yourself,
Copy !req
280. so you can love yourself.
Copy !req
281. If you hate yourself,
Copy !req
282. how can others love you?"
Copy !req
283. Yep, makes me wanna puke.
Copy !req
284. I... I also...
Copy !req
285. I also had a time when I stopped speaking.
Copy !req
286. For slightly different reasons.
Copy !req
287. But, like you,
Copy !req
288. I felt embarrassed and hated myself.
Copy !req
289. "Learn to learn to love yourself"?
Copy !req
290. What does that mean?
Copy !req
291. How are we supposed to find
something good about ourselves?
Copy !req
292. The whole reason we hate ourselves...
Copy !req
293. is because we can only see
the parts we hate.
Copy !req
294. So forcing ourselves to find "good points"
feels hollow, like we're making things up.
Copy !req
295. It's not like that.
Copy !req
296. That's not how it works.
Copy !req
297. I think that it's only when
someone says they love you
Copy !req
298. that you're able to start loving yourself.
Copy !req
299. I think when someone accepts you,
Copy !req
300. that's when you start feeling like
you can forgive yourself a little
Copy !req
301. and start to love yourself.
Copy !req
302. Yeah...
Copy !req
303. Yeah...
Copy !req
304. Yeah.
Copy !req
305. It made me happy...
Copy !req
306. —Kisa...
—Kisa.
Copy !req
307. Kisa, what do you plan to do?
Copy !req
308. Do you want to stay like this?
Copy !req
309. No...
Copy !req
310. I can't.
Copy !req
311. I need to try harder.
Copy !req
312. Or... Or else I'll turn into
an even worse person.
Copy !req
313. Even if we can't be friends again...
Copy !req
314. Even if they keep ignoring me...
Copy !req
315. I have to make sure
to try a little harder...
Copy !req
316. or else.
Copy !req
317. You're right.
Copy !req
318. Let's try.
Copy !req
319. I'll try, too.
Copy !req
320. And, if you get sad again
or if it's too painful,
Copy !req
321. come here again.
Copy !req
322. She'll be here for you.
Copy !req
323. It's been a long time...
Copy !req
324. I finally got to hear your voice again.
Copy !req
325. Big Sister...
Copy !req
326. Big Sister.
Copy !req
327. Kisa-san!
Copy !req
328. I can't keep running away forever.
Copy !req
329. Even if my heart is still overshadowed now,
Copy !req
330. there will come a day when
I need to confront my weakness.
Copy !req
331. So that all those tears shed...
Copy !req
332. are worth something.
Copy !req
333. And so, Kisa, despite her
still-wavering speech,
Copy !req
334. said she would go to school.
Copy !req
335. Yuki should've come, too.
Copy !req
336. He said that he has
something he has to do, too.
Copy !req
337. Truthfully, I'm sad that Kisa
won't be by my side anymore,
Copy !req
338. but I have to bear it.
Copy !req
339. Because Kisa-san mustered up
her courage and is fighting.
Copy !req
340. You can do it.
Copy !req
341. You can do it, Kisa-san!
Copy !req
342. Yuki-kun. What did you just say?
Copy !req
343. I accept your offer to be your successor.
Copy !req
344. I apologize for trying to avoid this.
Copy !req
345. I want to repay you for the trouble
by fulfilling my duties as a reliable president.
Copy !req
346. I hope you will advise me in the process.
Copy !req
347. Yuki-kun!
Copy !req
348. —You accepted the role for me—
—No, that's not it.
Copy !req
349. It's not like I suddenly became stronger,
Copy !req
350. nor did anything change.
Copy !req
351. My body still trembles,
Copy !req
352. but I'll keep facing my fears.
Copy !req
353. What's important is...
Copy !req
354. the desire to improve...
Copy !req
355. which stems from weakness.
Copy !req
356. "I'm So Sorry!"
Copy !req
357. I'm so sorry!
Copy !req
