1. "29th Annual
Kaibara High School
Culture Festival"Copy !req
2. The Culture Festival is coming up next month,Copy !req
3. and things are suddenly
getting busy at school.Copy !req
4. It's official.Copy !req
5. Our class has voted
to operate a rice ball stand.Copy !req
6. Next, I'd like to hear opinions
on what fillings we should use.Copy !req
7. Yes! How about tricolor rice balls?Copy !req
8. It would be fun to have three fillings
in one rice ball! And a good deal!Copy !req
9. That's cute. I like it.Copy !req
10. Seriously?Copy !req
11. We should drop that idea, Yuki-kun!Copy !req
12. Yeah, what if she suggests
a tuna, kelp, and pickled plum combo?Copy !req
13. Ugh, how gross!Copy !req
14. The "gross" things here
are your personalities, morons.Copy !req
15. Don't bring steel pipes to school!Copy !req
16. —How about battle rice balls?
—Battle?Copy !req
17. One-on-one matches, first to score
an Ippon wins. The only rule is "no killing."Copy !req
18. Weapons are allowed.Copy !req
19. People fight for their rice balls,
even if they bleed, even if they lose an arm!Copy !req
20. Idea rejected.Copy !req
21. What's with that attitude?
I'm cooperating and giving my idea!Copy !req
22. What if we mix in some duds?Copy !req
23. Maybe people who buy three
could choose one more for free,Copy !req
24. but some of the choices are duds?Copy !req
25. Idea accepted!Copy !req
26. Why'd you accept his idea?Copy !req
27. Yours was too weird, Kyon-Kyon.Copy !req
28. Don't pout about it, Kyon-Kyon.Copy !req
29. Don't call me "Kyon-Kyon"!Copy !req
30. Don't be mad, Kyon-Kyon.Copy !req
31. —Look, cats!
—What the heck?Copy !req
32. —When'd they get here?
—Where'd they come from?Copy !req
33. How cute!Copy !req
34. Forget this!Copy !req
35. Wait, Kyon-Kyon! What's with those cats?Copy !req
36. —Very odd.
—Eep!Copy !req
37. Don't worry, you're way
ahead of him in oddness.Copy !req
38. He's really hot-tempered, though, huh?Copy !req
39. The polar opposite of our prince.Copy !req
40. Here you are!Copy !req
41. You really like high places,
don't you, Kyo-kun?Copy !req
42. Oh, hello, kitty.Copy !req
43. So cute.Copy !req
44. Cats love you, don't they?Copy !req
45. Whatever. They just show up around me.Copy !req
46. It happens to all of us with our animals.Copy !req
47. Wow, that must be fun!Copy !req
48. Like hell it is!Copy !req
49. Did you want something, or what?Copy !req
50. I was just worried, that's all.Copy !req
51. Aren't you going to join us
on the Culture Festival project?Copy !req
52. You don't need me.
Everything'll go fine as long as Yuki's there.Copy !req
53. He's always been smart, good at
organizing stuff, and good with people.Copy !req
54. Everybody naturally respects
his talents and trusts him.Copy !req
55. I'm the one who started martial arts first,
and now he's better at it than me.Copy !req
56. I knew it. Rat children are always special.Copy !req
57. Yes. Too bad the same
can't be said of Cat children.Copy !req
58. It pisses me off.Copy !req
59. Not like I have a choice.
If I could be like him...Copy !req
60. I would.Copy !req
61. "Fruits Basket"Copy !req
62. Let's play Rich Man-Poor Man!Copy !req
63. Go to freakin' Yuki for that.Copy !req
64. But Soma-kun isn't here.Copy !req
65. Way to spoil my fun.Copy !req
66. You seem so dumb and unorganized,
I figured you'd make an easy mark.Copy !req
67. A real man never runs away
from a fight, you know. Pathetic!Copy !req
68. Fine, you're on! Try not to cry
when you lose, Gangster Girl!Copy !req
69. The loser's gotta do
everyone's cleaning duty!Copy !req
70. Ah, what a pleasant maelstrom of waves.Copy !req
71. I wonder where Soma-kun went...Copy !req
72. I'm sorry.Copy !req
73. I'm just not interested
in dating anyone right now.Copy !req
74. So I can't be what you—Copy !req
75. No, I don't want to hear this!Copy !req
76. Yuki-kun!Copy !req
77. Er, I'm... um...Copy !req
78. You're nice, Yuki-kun, but you're
closed off to other people, aren't you?Copy !req
79. Everyone says it!Copy !req
80. "Yuki-kun is special!"
"A normal girl isn't good enough for him!"Copy !req
81. Revolution!Copy !req
82. You underhanded jerk!Copy !req
83. It's allowed in the damn rules!Copy !req
84. Hmm, Revolution turns
the strong cards weak, so...Copy !req
85. Secret technique:Copy !req
86. Revolution Reversal.Copy !req
87. Hey!Copy !req
88. She got you, Carrots.Copy !req
89. Nice work, Hanajima-san.Copy !req
90. Looking lame there, Kyon-Kyon.Copy !req
91. Shut up! We're just getting started!Copy !req
92. You're closed off to
other people, aren't you?Copy !req
93. Rich Man-Poor Man, eh?Copy !req
94. I know the rules, but I've never played it.Copy !req
95. I only learned it from Uo-chan just recently.Copy !req
96. You should join us next time!Copy !req
97. So he ended up the Poor Man, I see.Copy !req
98. Please let me help.Copy !req
99. No. A loss is a loss.Copy !req
100. But I'm gonna win next time, got it?Copy !req
101. I'll beat you, too, obviously!Copy !req
102. Don't you ever get sick of saying that?Copy !req
103. Winning against you is my mission! My goal!Copy !req
104. Having to deal with that
is my annoyance. My misfortune.Copy !req
105. That condescending attitude
of yours pisses me off!Copy !req
106. That simplistic thinking
of yours pisses me off.Copy !req
107. —I'm gonna make that ugly face
of yours cry "Uncle" one day!
—Th-They're fighting again.Copy !req
108. —I'm gonna make that ugly face
of yours cry "Uncle" one day!
—I don't think the fact that they're Rat and CatCopy !req
109. —Uncle.
—I don't think the fact that they're Rat and CatCopy !req
110. —Hey! Aren't you embarrassed
to just come out and say that?
—is enough to explain why their relationship is this bad.Copy !req
111. Come to think of it...Copy !req
112. I'll win against you, and become
a full-fledged member of the Somas!Copy !req
113. Did Kyo-kun mean that
if he can beat Soma-kun,Copy !req
114. he'll be included in zodiac?Copy !req
115. Which would mean...Copy !req
116. The Cat and the Twelve
would become the Thirteen?Copy !req
117. That would be wonderful!Copy !req
118. —I'll beat you into the ground!
—But fighting is no good...Copy !req
119. —Great ready, you cold-blooded rat!
—Um, Kyo-kun—Copy !req
120. Watching you makes my blood boil.Copy !req
121. Soma-kun...Copy !req
122. Dammit.Copy !req
123. Why can't I win?Copy !req
124. Are you all right?
You didn't bite your tongue, did you?Copy !req
125. I'm not an amateur!Copy !req
126. Just forget me and get out of here!Copy !req
127. No, I mean... um...Copy !req
128. It's just uncool how I keep losing, you know?Copy !req
129. —Huh?
—Never mind!Copy !req
130. Just go home. You've got work today, right?Copy !req
131. His moves were a lot rougher than usual.
Maybe he's in a bad mood...Copy !req
132. Good night!Copy !req
133. Soma-kun is so considerate of other people,Copy !req
134. but maybe that makes him
bottle up all his feelings inside.Copy !req
135. And so...Copy !req
136. Ouch!Copy !req
137. It's dangerous to think while you walk.Copy !req
138. Good evening.Copy !req
139. Who is this? They're in
the building so late at night...Copy !req
140. "Tohru Honda"Copy !req
141. —"Tohru"?
—Huh?Copy !req
142. Tohru Honda?Copy !req
143. Y-Yes, that's me...Copy !req
144. Sieh da! Welch ein Glück!Copy !req
145. A foreigner!Copy !req
146. Schön dich kennenzulernen.Copy !req
147. I-I'm sorry! I don't speak English!Copy !req
148. Sehr hübsch!Copy !req
149. Um, I, um—!Copy !req
150. Good night!Copy !req
151. "29th Annual
Kaibara High School
Culture Festival"Copy !req
152. Fest...?Copy !req
153. Honda-san? What's got you so flustered?Copy !req
154. Th-There was a strange f-f-for—Copy !req
155. "For"?Copy !req
156. Soma-kun?Copy !req
157. Hi. I hope work went well.Copy !req
158. Did you come here to walk me home?Copy !req
159. Yep. It's dangerous for girls
to be out this late.Copy !req
160. Thank you very much!
You and Kyo-kun are both so kind.Copy !req
161. Well, shall we?Copy !req
162. S-Soma-kun!Copy !req
163. Um... if you happen to have any
pent-up worries or anything, please tell me!Copy !req
164. Like they say, telling someone
your bad dreams brings good luck, so...Copy !req
165. If you're comfortable with me,Copy !req
166. —I don't mind you hitting
me with all the wor—Copy !req
167. —Stop flirting and go home, youngsters!
—I don't mind you hitting me with all the wor—Copy !req
168. I meant that, but I may be
adding to your worries.Copy !req
169. Back when I lived at home,Copy !req
170. it felt like I was in a cage,
with the main family and Akito always watching.Copy !req
171. I longed for a normal life
surrounded by normal people.Copy !req
172. That's why I applied to
a coed high school and left home.Copy !req
173. But I haven't really
managed to leave the cage.Copy !req
174. I'm still living in a Soma house,
and I can't interact well with normal people.Copy !req
175. I think I'm subconsciously
keeping my distanceCopy !req
176. so people won't get too personal with me.Copy !req
177. But Kyo isn't like that.
His stranger anxiety is intense at first,Copy !req
178. but he's the type who attracts people to him
once he gets used to them and relaxes.Copy !req
179. Always has been.Copy !req
180. Even if he can't be one of the Twelve,Copy !req
181. he can interact naturally with normal people.
That's better, if you ask me.Copy !req
182. I wish I could be like that, too.Copy !req
183. That's why he gets on my nerves.Copy !req
184. When I see Kyo wanting to join
the same Somas I want to get away from,Copy !req
185. all I can think is, "What's wrong with me?"Copy !req
186. Soma-kun...Copy !req
187. you have the power to draw people in, too.Copy !req
188. Lots of girls say they like you,
and that you're a kind person.Copy !req
189. I'm only being kind because
I want them to like me.Copy !req
190. It's the same as one kid giving the others candy
because he wants to play with them.Copy !req
191. I'm only nice for my own benefit.Copy !req
192. Maybe I'm a phony.Copy !req
193. So Kyo-kunCopy !req
194. is jealous of Soma-kun,
and Soma-kunCopy !req
195. is jealous of Kyo-kun,Copy !req
196. and that's why they resent each other.Copy !req
197. But from my point of view,
they're each so great in their own way...Copy !req
198. So why...?Copy !req
199. Soma-kun—Copy !req
200. This isn't good.Copy !req
201. This sudden typhoon means
strong winds through tomorrow morning.Copy !req
202. Shigure, is there a weather report on?Copy !req
203. I'm watching it now.
They're saying it's a sudden typhoon.Copy !req
204. A typhoon...Copy !req
205. Whoa, you're soaking wet!Copy !req
206. Soma-kun!Copy !req
207. Honda-san, it's dangerous out here!Copy !req
208. This is nothing!Copy !req
209. During the last typhoon, I spent
the whole night outside my tent holding—Copy !req
210. Are you okay?Copy !req
211. I'm sorry.Copy !req
212. But Soma-kun, is there something wrong?Copy !req
213. Come with me.Copy !req
214. Where are we going?Copy !req
215. It's a farm.Copy !req
216. More like a vegetable garden.Copy !req
217. Did you plant it?Copy !req
218. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
219. This is my secret base.Copy !req
220. You're protecting your base from
the typhoon! That's magnificent!Copy !req
221. Allow me to do my humble best to help!Copy !req
222. You're a kind person.Copy !req
223. Wh-What? Oh my gosh!Copy !req
224. Nobody's ever said that to me before!Copy !req
225. Oh, but actually, maybe it's a phony kindness
to make me seem like a good person!Copy !req
226. No, in your case it's innate.Copy !req
227. But my mother once told me
to believe instead of doubt.Copy !req
228. She said people aren't born with kindness.Copy !req
229. All we have when we're born are desires,
like for food or for things.Copy !req
230. Survival instincts, basically.Copy !req
231. She said kindness is our hearts
growing inside us,Copy !req
232. just like our bodies grow.Copy !req
233. And that's why different people's
kindnesses take different forms.Copy !req
234. It's easy to understand desire,
because everyone has it from birth.Copy !req
235. But each person's kindness
is pretty much handmade by them,Copy !req
236. so it's easy for others to misunderstand it,
or assume that it's phony.Copy !req
237. But Tohru...Copy !req
238. It was exciting to think that there were
all different shapes of kindness,Copy !req
239. like round ones, or pointy ones.Copy !req
240. Soma-kun, your kindness is like a candle.Copy !req
241. It lights up.Copy !req
242. When it does, it brings
a happy smile to my face.Copy !req
243. That's what it's like.Copy !req
244. Wait, was a candle a weird analogy?Copy !req
245. N-No...Copy !req
246. Actually, I'm kind of ashamed.Copy !req
247. Boys shouldn't complain like that.Copy !req
248. I'm happy you did.Copy !req
249. Because I feel like the more
you tell me about yourself,Copy !req
250. the better friends we can become.Copy !req
251. That was rude of me to say...Copy !req
252. No, not at all.Copy !req
253. I'm sorry. I'll continue
my mission to protect the base!Copy !req
254. But Tohru...Copy !req
255. I want you to believe in people.Copy !req
256. Doubting is easy. Anybody can do it.Copy !req
257. You be the kind of girl
who can believe in people.Copy !req
258. I just know...Copy !req
259. that will help someone.Copy !req
260. We defended it to the end!Copy !req
261. We took a beating doing it, though.Copy !req
262. Is anything ready to harvest now?Copy !req
263. Well, the chives might be...Copy !req
264. Chives! Chives, chives...Copy !req
265. Honda-san.Copy !req
266. I'll try Rich Man-Poor Man next time.Copy !req
267. Sure! But were you not interested before?Copy !req
268. It wasn't that. I just lost my nerve
a little because everyone was so lively.Copy !req
269. But I'll work on that.Copy !req
270. So that I can learn to interact with people,
even if just little by little.Copy !req
271. Don't worry! Hana-chan and Uo-chan
are incredibly good people!Copy !req
272. I'm proud to call them my friends!Copy !req
273. Plus, I know they'll love the chance
to defeat a strong opponent!Copy !req
274. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
275. I won't lose.Copy !req
276. I feel like that's the first time
I've seen his true smile.Copy !req
277. We'll have to take baths when we get home,
or we'll catch colds.Copy !req
278. If the day comes when
he can smile like that at school,Copy !req
279. he may get even more popular!Copy !req
280. What's all this?Copy !req
281. Are you planning to start
a rice ball business?Copy !req
282. Oh, good morning!Copy !req
283. I'm experimenting with them
to get ready for the culture festival.Copy !req
284. You're up early, as always.Copy !req
285. No, this is a normal time.Copy !req
286. Were you at the farm with Yuki all night?Copy !req
287. Ow, that's hot!Copy !req
288. Yes, we defended
the vegetables from the typhoon.Copy !req
289. I'm particularly proud of that one.
What do you think?Copy !req
290. What are these?Copy !req
291. Leek rice balls.Copy !req
292. Did it taste bad?Copy !req
293. I hate chives!Copy !req
294. What's wrong with salmon
or octopus rice balls, anyway?Copy !req
295. Forget it, I'll make my own.Copy !req
296. Kyo-kun, that's amazing!Copy !req
297. Huh?Copy !req
298. You're so good at shaping the rice!Copy !req
299. That's great! And unexpected!Copy !req
300. I made my own food while I was training.Copy !req
301. But making something isn't
the same as making it taste good.Copy !req
302. Really? I think that someone
working hard at rice ball trainingCopy !req
303. would be very jealous
of how good you are at it.Copy !req
304. Nobody does training like that!Copy !req
305. Where do your ideas even come from?Copy !req
306. But that doesn't change
the fact that it's great...Copy !req
307. Why doesn't he realize?Copy !req
308. Maybe it's on your back.Copy !req
309. Huh?Copy !req
310. If a person is a rice ball and what's great
about the person is a pickled plum,Copy !req
311. then maybe your plum is on your back!Copy !req
312. Maybe everyone in the world
has plums on their backsCopy !req
313. of all different shapes, colors, and sizes.Copy !req
314. But since they can't see their backs,
they can't see the plums they have.Copy !req
315. They think they don't have anything—
that they're just plain white rice.Copy !req
316. Even though it's not true at all—
even though they really do have a plum there.Copy !req
317. Maybe the reason we get jealous of othersCopy !req
318. is because other people's
backs are easy to see.Copy !req
319. I can see it.Copy !req
320. It's plain as day, Kyo-kun.
You have a plum right there on your back.Copy !req
321. Soma-kun is great. And you're great, Kyo-kun.Copy !req
322. Seriously, where do your ideas come from?Copy !req
323. And why plums? Use something
better for your analogy!Copy !req
324. I'm sorry! Should I have
used salmon instead?Copy !req
325. Whoops, the kettle!Copy !req
326. Hey.Copy !req
327. You've got one on your back, too.Copy !req
328. A plum.Copy !req
329. I can see it.Copy !req
330. Really? You can?Copy !req
331. Only a little one, though.
A really, really little one.Copy !req
332. Little ones are delicious!Copy !req
333. Good morning.Copy !req
334. Soma-kun! Good morning.Copy !req
335. Honda-san, didn't you sleep at all?Copy !req
336. Nope! There were so many great things
to think about, I just felt too awake.Copy !req
337. What's all this?Copy !req
338. Rice balls with chives.Copy !req
339. Kyo-kun says
he doesn't like chives, though.Copy !req
340. They're not edible.Copy !req
341. Eat.Copy !req
342. Is their bad relationship just a lost cause?Copy !req
343. But if they could each understand
the other's good points,Copy !req
344. maybe they could get along...Copy !req
345. I guess I didn't understand you.
Sorry about that.Copy !req
346. Right back atcha. Sorry.Copy !req
347. Let's cherish our friendship
for the rest of our lives!Copy !req
348. Yeah!Copy !req
349. Somehow that's a scary thought.Copy !req
350. Yes, hello!Copy !req
351. Excuse me...Copy !req
352. Yes?Copy !req
353. Excuse me...Copy !req
354. Is it true...Copy !req
355. that Kyo-kun is here?Copy !req
356. "What Year Is She?"Copy !req
357. What year is she?Copy !req
