1. Sometimes, when Koizumi-san
is around, I think that...
Copy !req
2. ramen is...
Copy !req
3. Ramen is...
Copy !req
4. Big Bro!
Copy !req
5. You can use the bath now.
Copy !req
6. Sure, I'll go in after this.
Copy !req
7. Don't you have classes
early tomorrow morning?
Copy !req
8. Just go, before the water gets cold.
Copy !req
9. My first period lecture got canceled.
Copy !req
10. Goodnight, then.
Copy !req
11. Goodnight.
Copy !req
12. October 3rd.
Copy !req
13. Today, Koizumi-san was eating...
Copy !req
14. some kind of pale blue-colored ramen.
Copy !req
15. Welcome.
Copy !req
16. Here you go.
Copy !req
17. The colors totally reminded me of
some kind of Western cartoon monster.
Copy !req
18. I couldn't help but feel nervous
when I looked at it.
Copy !req
19. What is this soup's base, exactly?
Copy !req
20. Poison! Pure poison.
Copy !req
21. P-Poison?
Copy !req
22. I'm joking.
Copy !req
23. Jeez, don't scare me like that.
Copy !req
24. Halfway through, Koizumi-san
added some vinegar.
Copy !req
25. After she did that,
something strange happened.
Copy !req
26. The pale blue of the soup turned
into a pink like strawberry milk.
Copy !req
27. I had no idea what was going on.
Copy !req
28. But...
Copy !req
29. She looked really happy.
Copy !req
30. So I guess it must've been good.
Copy !req
31. Thank you for waiting.
Copy !req
32. By the way, I ordered the cocoa ramen.
Copy !req
33. You might think that's just
chocolate fondue with noodles,
Copy !req
34. but there could be no doubt that it was ramen!
Copy !req
35. But there was a faint cocoa aftertaste.
Copy !req
36. Hey, what flavor is that ramen?
Copy !req
37. Before, it tasted light blue.
Copy !req
38. Now, it tastes pink.
Copy !req
39. Huh? What kind of flavor is that?
Copy !req
40. Can I try a taste of the soup?
Copy !req
41. I didn't say anything.
Copy !req
42. Today's conversation went pretty well.
Copy !req
43. Please! Find it in your heart
to let me accompany you!
Copy !req
44. Please! I'm on my knees!
Copy !req
45. I'm so glad we went together.
Copy !req
46. But sometimes, when I'm with Koizumi-san,
I catch myself thinking...
Copy !req
47. Yellow?
Copy !req
48. Blue?
Copy !req
49. Soy milk?
Copy !req
50. Coffee milk?
Copy !req
51. Alkali?
Copy !req
52. Ramen is...
Copy !req
53. the universe.
Copy !req
54. Huh?
Copy !req
55. She's really been studying hard lately.
Copy !req
56. Maybe I should take her
out for something tasty.
Copy !req
57. Payday's coming up.
Copy !req
58. What the heck is alkali ramen?
Copy !req
59. Apparently, they put these in soy sauce ramen.
Copy !req
60. Batteries?
Copy !req
61. For real?
Copy !req
62. That was a joke.
Copy !req
63. Fried chicken with fries...
Copy !req
64. Pollock roe salad... and a mille crêpe.
Copy !req
65. Mont blancs are good, too.
Copy !req
66. You know...
Copy !req
67. You should be eating sushi.
Copy !req
68. This is a sushi restaurant.
Copy !req
69. My brother got paid today.
Copy !req
70. He uncharacteristically
invited me out for dinner.
Copy !req
71. You're the one who recommended this place.
Copy !req
72. Well, it's fun because the menu
has so many different choices!
Copy !req
73. You can eat all kinds of things.
Copy !req
74. Look, egg sushi!
Copy !req
75. This is my favorite!
Copy !req
76. You child.
Copy !req
77. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
78. Starting with egg is the in-thing.
Copy !req
79. It said so online.
Copy !req
80. Just shut up and have some fish.
Copy !req
81. Says the person who just took a tuna and mayo!
Copy !req
82. Tuna is a fish, and it happens
to be one of my favorites.
Copy !req
83. But shouldn't you be inviting your
girlfriend to dinner on your payday?
Copy !req
84. Oh, wait, you don't have
a girlfriend right now?
Copy !req
85. Wait, you haven't had one in forever?
Copy !req
86. That's it. We're splitting the bill.
Copy !req
87. Just kidding! Sorry!
Copy !req
88. Okay, let's go for the salmon,
to do this place justice.
Copy !req
89. Koizumi-san?
Copy !req
90. Do you know her?
Copy !req
91. Y-Yeah! She's my friend!
Copy !req
92. No, more like my best friend! My bosom buddy!
Copy !req
93. Meeting in a place like this means we
might even be destined to be soulmates.
Copy !req
94. But what is Koizumi-san doing at a conveyor
belt sushi place, instead of a ramen place?
Copy !req
95. And it looks like she knows this place well!
Copy !req
96. A meal set?
Copy !req
97. Time to eat.
Copy !req
98. Her main dish is ramen after all!
Copy !req
99. I see! Right now...
Copy !req
100. Koizumi-san is enjoying a special
ramen she can only get here.
Copy !req
101. Even from behind, I can tell.
Copy !req
102. I want to go talk to her,
but she's not here for that,
Copy !req
103. and just watching her is enough.
Copy !req
104. Stare...
Copy !req
105. Stare...
Copy !req
106. Brother?
Copy !req
107. D-D-Don't tell me he also
thinks Koizumi-san is...
Copy !req
108. No, I don't want to be competing for
Koizumi-san with my own brother!
Copy !req
109. It's not fair! I was her friend first!
Copy !req
110. I was her friend first!
Copy !req
111. I was first!
Copy !req
112. I was first!
Copy !req
113. I was first!
Copy !req
114. I was first!
Copy !req
115. Hey, I want to have ramen, too!
Copy !req
116. What about you?
Copy !req
117. Safe!
Copy !req
118. Wow, these all look good.
Copy !req
119. And they're cheap!
Copy !req
120. Let's try them all.
Copy !req
121. If we split them, we can
finish them, right? Right?
Copy !req
122. I'm glad you're my brother.
Copy !req
123. I'm glad you've finally realized the
awesomeness of your own brother.
Copy !req
124. You can eat all you want today.
Copy !req
125. I will.
Copy !req
126. Time to eat!
Copy !req
127. A ramen I can only experience here...
Copy !req
128. This is the best!
Copy !req
129. Wait a minute...
Copy !req
130. Now that I look closer...
Copy !req
131. I knew it!
Copy !req
132. Koizumi-san is my friend.
Copy !req
133. Koizumi-san is mine...
Copy !req
134. Mine, mine, mine, mine...
Copy !req
135. That girl ate three bowls
of ramen by herself.
Copy !req
136. That's pretty amazing!
Copy !req
137. Yeah, it is.
Copy !req
138. It really is amazing.
Copy !req
139. Ramen at conveyor belt sushi restaurants
often uses a seafood base for its soup,
Copy !req
140. which means it pairs perfectly with sushi.
Copy !req
141. The deliciousness will make
you dance involuntarily.
Copy !req
142. Hey, Koizumi-san!
Copy !req
143. Are you free today? Let's go out!
Copy !req
144. No.
Copy !req
145. Oh, don't be like that.
Copy !req
146. I'll pass.
Copy !req
147. Yup, this is the cutest angle for me.
Copy !req
148. But You sure doesn't give up, huh?
Copy !req
149. She really doesn't.
Copy !req
150. Let's go, Koizumi-san!
Copy !req
151. No.
Copy !req
152. Mom?
Copy !req
153. Hello?
Copy !req
154. What? Today? Right now?
Copy !req
155. Yes.
Copy !req
156. The department made a reservation,
but now I can't go.
Copy !req
157. And the reservation can't
be canceled, either.
Copy !req
158. But I can't just...
Copy !req
159. I'll take care of the bill,
so thanks, Jun-chan.
Copy !req
160. Bye.
Copy !req
161. Mom?
Copy !req
162. What's wrong?
Copy !req
163. Uh, can I talk to all of you for a minute?
Copy !req
164. If possible, Koizumi-san, too.
Copy !req
165. So you're saying you want us all to help you
eat the special dinner your mom ordered.
Copy !req
166. Sorry about this... But she said
the more people, the better.
Copy !req
167. If there's anything else you want,
feel free to order it.
Copy !req
168. Chinese food is always best
when everyone's sharing.
Copy !req
169. But it's ultra rare for the four
of us to be eating out together.
Copy !req
170. You're right.
Copy !req
171. In fact, she turned me
down when I invited her,
Copy !req
172. but she said yes when Jun asked...
Copy !req
173. So annoying.
Copy !req
174. Sorry, I guess.
Copy !req
175. It's all-you-can-eat ramen with the class rep
paying. Therefore, I'll take a tantanmen.
Copy !req
176. That was fast!
Copy !req
177. That's right! That's so you, Koizumi-san.
Copy !req
178. Wait, I don't know what
they're going to bring out,
Copy !req
179. so let's see what we get first...
Copy !req
180. Thank you for waiting.
Copy !req
181. Our special jumbo gyoza.
Copy !req
182. Whoa! What is that?
Copy !req
183. It's huge!
Copy !req
184. This is so funny!
Copy !req
185. That's amazing. It's like a pillow.
Copy !req
186. Wait, so is this what she meant by "special"?
Copy !req
187. This is supposed to be the equivalent
of 100 regular gyoza, which means...
Copy !req
188. Using simple math, we'd
have to eat 25 gyoza each!
Copy !req
189. We'll... get through it somehow.
Copy !req
190. The skin looks pretty thick, though.
So if you take that into account...
Copy !req
191. I should've brought some more people.
Copy !req
192. Excuse me. I'd like to order one of these.
Copy !req
193. Hello! Do you not see what's going on?
Copy !req
194. Why are you ordering even more?
Copy !req
195. We can't eat ramen on top of this!
Copy !req
196. I'll be eating the ramen by myself.
Copy !req
197. Of course, I'll have some
of the gyoza, as well.
Copy !req
198. Are you for real?
Copy !req
199. Eating at a Chinese restaurant
naturally means gyoza and ramen.
Copy !req
200. Well, it is Koizumi-san.
Copy !req
201. All right, I'm going to divide it up.
Copy !req
202. Fight, You!
Copy !req
203. Here I go.
Copy !req
204. Of course!
Copy !req
205. If I ask Koizumi-san to help me with this...
Copy !req
206. It'll be our chance to complete our
very first cooperative activity!
Copy !req
207. You know, this is pretty
hard to cut by myself.
Copy !req
208. Sorry, but could you help me, Koizumi-san?
Copy !req
209. Sure.
Copy !req
210. Our first cooperative activity!
Copy !req
211. Look at that meat juice!
Copy !req
212. It looks good.
Copy !req
213. That's not what I had in mind...
Copy !req
214. Thank you for waiting.
Copy !req
215. Here's one jumbo ramen and one tantanmen.
Copy !req
216. Jumbo ramen?
Copy !req
217. What the heck did you order?
Copy !req
218. Wow.
Copy !req
219. Our table is in chaos.
Copy !req
220. It's messing with my depth perception.
Copy !req
221. Time to eat.
Copy !req
222. We should just start eating, too.
Copy !req
223. R-Right.
Copy !req
224. Time to eat!
Copy !req
225. It's like a gyoza cake!
Copy !req
226. First, try it with a little
bit of the sauce...
Copy !req
227. The skin is almost like bread!
It's so thick and chewy!
Copy !req
228. Oh, yeah! It's like the gyoza
version of roasted mochi!
Copy !req
229. This is so good, I think we can eat it all.
Copy !req
230. Do you mind if I get a shungiku ramen?
Copy !req
231. S-Sure, that's fine...
Copy !req
232. I'm covering my next piece with chili oil.
Copy !req
233. Isn't that too much?
Copy !req
234. I'll try mine with vinegar.
Copy !req
235. Thank you for waiting.
Copy !req
236. Here's your shungiku ramen.
Copy !req
237. That smells so good.
Copy !req
238. It does.
Copy !req
239. So, Koizumi-san, what kind of ramen is that?
Copy !req
240. It tastes like shungiku.
Copy !req
241. Like shungiku?
Copy !req
242. That's literally the name.
Copy !req
243. It looks good.
Copy !req
244. The aroma of the fat goes
really well with the soup.
Copy !req
245. It's ramen that tastes like shungiku.
Copy !req
246. If you're curious, we can order another one.
Copy !req
247. Yeah, let's do that!
Copy !req
248. What? No, no!
Copy !req
249. If we order more, we won't
be able to finish it all!
Copy !req
250. I'm getting so full.
Copy !req
251. We're all slowing down quite a bit.
Copy !req
252. I could keep going.
Copy !req
253. Really? That's not like you.
Copy !req
254. You used to have such a small appetite.
Copy !req
255. Look at you now.
Copy !req
256. Maybe it's because I've been going
out to eat with Koizumi-san.
Copy !req
257. A char siu ramen, please.
Copy !req
258. What? You're ordering more?
Copy !req
259. Thank you for waiting.
Copy !req
260. Incredible.
Copy !req
261. I'll take a gomoku soba.
Copy !req
262. Thank you for waiting.
Copy !req
263. We can't just sit here and be impressed.
Copy !req
264. Right.
Copy !req
265. M-Me, either!
Copy !req
266. I give up!
Copy !req
267. I'm so full.
Copy !req
268. Me, too. This is my limit for enjoying food.
Copy !req
269. Same here.
Copy !req
270. Maybe I should order a drink.
Copy !req
271. They have a jumbo ramen
eating contest here!
Copy !req
272. Koizumi-san should've entered!
Copy !req
273. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
274. I guess this gyoza was originally
made for their eating competition.
Copy !req
275. Too bad we noticed too late, huh, Koizumi?
Copy !req
276. I knew about their challenge menu,
Copy !req
277. but I'm not really into competitive eating.
Copy !req
278. Why not?
Copy !req
279. Is it the time limit?
Copy !req
280. I just don't think I can eat enough to
enter such an event with any confidence.
Copy !req
281. No self-awareness at all...
Copy !req
282. Scary...
Copy !req
283. Class Rep, may I order a mapo ramen next?
Copy !req
284. And if there's any gyoza left, I'll take it.
Copy !req
285. Uh, sure.
Copy !req
286. Thank you!
Copy !req
287. That was so good.
Copy !req
288. So good, I overate.
Copy !req
289. Me, too. I can't eat another bite.
Copy !req
290. Koizumi-san? What's wrong?
Copy !req
291. Huh?
Copy !req
292. What's up?
Copy !req
293. This would be okay, too.
Copy !req
294. I don't even want to hear
about gyoza right now!
Copy !req
295. My mom incredulously asked
how many people I took.
Copy !req
296. That's Koizumi.
Copy !req
297. That's Koizumi-san!
Copy !req
298. That's Koizumi-san!
Copy !req
299. That jumbo gyoza sure was something.
Copy !req
300. It was supposed to be 100 servings of gyoza.
Copy !req
301. We filled up almost exclusively
on the gyoza, but Koizumi-san,
Copy !req
302. how many bowls of ramen
did you end up eating?
Copy !req
303. Yeah! It's not fair that you can eat
that much and not gain weight!
Copy !req
304. You'd better give up your secret right now!
Copy !req
305. I don't know what to say.
Copy !req
306. She's an angel! That's why
she doesn't gain weight!
Copy !req
