1. Morning.
Copy !req
2. Good morning.
Copy !req
3. You couldn't sleep?
Copy !req
4. Not a wink.
Copy !req
5. Are you implying that it's my fault?
Copy !req
6. You've got nerves of steel.
Copy !req
7. I can't believe you slept like a log.
Copy !req
8. Well, I've traveled for shoots since I was a child.
Copy !req
9. Also, I think nothing of having you sleeping next to me.
Copy !req
10. That's good to hear.
Copy !req
11. I think I'll play some pranks next time.
Copy !req
12. As if you have the nerve.
Copy !req
13. We're going back to Fujisawa and heading to school for the afternoon, right?
Copy !req
14. Step outside for a bit and let me get ready.
Copy !req
15. It's the next day now,
Copy !req
16. but it looks like I'm still the only one
who can see Mai-san.

Copy !req
19. Episode 3: A World without You Alone
Copy !req
20. Episode 3: A World without You Alone
Copy !req
21. I asked yesterday, and they said it'd be fine.
Copy !req
22. It's all the same as usual, right?
Copy !req
23. Are they simply not taking notice of you,
or can they really not see you?
Copy !req
24. I'll go check my class.
Copy !req
25. Azusagawa.
Copy !req
26. Bad news.
Copy !req
27. Everyone else may have forgotten about Sakurajima-senpai.
Copy !req
28. Kunimi didn't remember her, at least.
Copy !req
29. Seriously?
Copy !req
30. Oh, really?
Copy !req
31. It's you.
Copy !req
32. Oh...
Copy !req
33. You remember Sakurajima-senpai, right?
Copy !req
34. Huh? Sakura what?
Copy !req
35. Sakurajima Mai, in third year.
Copy !req
36. Hey, Tomoe...
Copy !req
37. Why's the hospitalization
incident guy talking to you?
Copy !req
38. Don't ask me.
Copy !req
39. And who's this Sakurawhatever-senpai?
Copy !req
40. Let's go.
Copy !req
41. How the hell could you forget?
Copy !req
42. I'm talking about Sakurajima-senpai, the actress!
Copy !req
43. Wait...
Copy !req
44. Hey!
Copy !req
45. There's one likely reason I can think of.
Copy !req
46. Get any sleep last night?
Copy !req
47. Not a wink.
Copy !req
48. Me neither.
Copy !req
49. I know hindsight is twenty-twenty and all,
but that may be why we remember her.
Copy !req
50. Because we haven't slept, you mean?
Copy !req
51. Do you remember what I said
about the observation theory before?
Copy !req
52. Schrödinger's cat.
Copy !req
53. I've always found it absurd,
Copy !req
54. but seeing it in action like this
sends chills down my spine.
Copy !req
55. What, Puberty Syndrome?
Copy !req
56. No.
Copy !req
57. The fact that she was treated like she was invisible in school even before all of this.
Copy !req
58. Even I went with the flow,
Copy !req
59. and despite how abnormal it was that
everyone was subconsciously ignoring her,
Copy !req
60. I internalized it without
stopping to think about it.
Copy !req
61. If anything, one could only do this
if they didn't stop to think about it.
Copy !req
62. But that's exactly why I feel like the key to resolving this is within our school.
Copy !req
63. Sakurajima-senpai isn't being observed by anyone at school,
Copy !req
64. destabilizing her state of existence.
Copy !req
65. To her, this entire school is Schrödinger's box.
Copy !req
66. If observation and cognizance are playing a key role,
Copy !req
67. then sleep, a state of unconsciousness, can indeed make one forget about her.
Copy !req
68. That makes a lot of sense to me.
Copy !req
69. Wait, you mean...
Copy !req
70. If I'd fallen asleep last night,
I would've forgotten about her too?
Copy !req
71. Something the matter?
Copy !req
72. No.
Copy !req
73. Don't you have work today?
Copy !req
74. But...
Copy !req
75. Don't ignore your responsibilities.
Copy !req
76. No need to worry about me.
Copy !req
77. See you tomorrow, then.
Copy !req
78. Nobody sees Mai-san.
Copy !req
79. She's not being observed by anyone,
which is destabilizing her state of existence.
Copy !req
80. That's why she's disappearing.
Copy !req
81. If no one recognizes you,
you may as well not exist at all.
Copy !req
82. But if our school really is the cause,
Copy !req
83. then why are complete outsiders becoming unable to see her?
Copy !req
84. Maybe Sakurajima-senpai herself acted
as the valve that leaked the "flow" outside.
Copy !req
85. Even if she didn't, it's everywhere around us all.
Copy !req
86. And modern society's more than happy
to go with the flow.
Copy !req
87. The flow. Invisible, but nobody can deny its existence.
Copy !req
88. Something that'd be entirely pointless to fight.
Copy !req
89. One can't be cognizant of
another person in their sleep.
Copy !req
90. So the moment they fall asleep,
she becomes invisible to them.
Copy !req
91. I'll forget about her if I sleep.
Copy !req
92. What are you drinking, Onii-chan?
Copy !req
93. An energy drink. I've got midterms for the next three days.
Copy !req
94. You go to bed, Kaede.
Copy !req
95. I need to do this while I've still got my focus.
Copy !req
96. Frankly, I know the following story
will be hard to believe.
Copy !req
97. But it's all true, so make sure you read all the way to the end.
Copy !req
98. You have to.
Copy !req
99. May 6th
Copy !req
100. I ran into a bunny girl in the wild.
Copy !req
101. It was a student at Minegahara High
Copy !req
102. The celebrity, Sakurajima Mai
Copy !req
103. You look completely out of it.
Copy !req
104. And you look as beautiful as always.
Copy !req
105. Your tie's all crooked.
Copy !req
106. I never thought I'd get to play newlyweds with you so soon.
Copy !req
107. Contain the stupidity to your face.
Copy !req
108. You're taking the exams too?
Copy !req
109. You can cheat all you want.
Copy !req
110. I don't have to cheat. I've done my homework.
Copy !req
111. That doesn't mean anything if they won't hand me the exam paper, though.
Copy !req
112. But you're still going to school? How diligent.
Copy !req
113. Well, it's not like I'd have anything to do at home.
Copy !req
114. Besides, some other people might be able to see me today.
Copy !req
115. May 27th - Day 1 of Midterms
Copy !req
116. May 27th - Day 1 of Midterms
Copy !req
117. No. Don't fall asleep.
Copy !req
118. If you do, you'll forget about her.
Copy !req
119. Don't fall asleep!
Copy !req
120. Azusagawa, what's with the bags under your eyes? Pulled an all-nighter?
Copy !req
121. Futaba...
Copy !req
122. Do you remember?
Copy !req
123. Huh? Remember what?
Copy !req
124. Never mind. It's nothing.
Copy !req
125. Later.
Copy !req
126. Your hypothesis was right on the money, huh?
Copy !req
127. If this doesn't get me fired up, nothing will!
Copy !req
128. Is there no other way?
Copy !req
129. Quantum Physics for Dummies

Copy !req
134. May 28th - Day 2 of Midterms
Copy !req
135. What did you buy?
Copy !req
136. Oh, uh...
Copy !req
137. You really haven't been sleeping, huh?
Copy !req
138. Come on. Sit down.
Copy !req
139. Tomorrow's the last day of midterms, right?
Copy !req
140. I'll tutor you.
Copy !req
141. If you teach me in your
bunny-girl outfit, I'll do my best.
Copy !req
142. If I did that, your head would be too filled with dirty thoughts to study.
Copy !req
143. Right. I hadn't thought of that.
Copy !req
144. Work hard and get a perfect score,
and I'll give you a reward.
Copy !req
145. Is this one of those "I'll do anything you want" deals?
Copy !req
146. Yes, but there are limits.
Copy !req
147. I'll settle for just taking a bath together, then.
Copy !req
148. That's not happening either.
Copy !req
149. Then how about we go on that
Kamakura date we missed out on last time?
Copy !req
150. Sure, but are you really okay with that?
Copy !req
151. You want something more extreme, huh?
Copy !req
152. I did not say anything of the sort.
Copy !req
153. Man, that really wakes me up.
Copy !req
154. For a younger boy, you really are cheeky.
Copy !req
155. Let's start with Modern Japanese.
Copy !req
156. Nouns and verbs.
Copy !req
157. Classify the instances of "guarantee" from
"Nobody is willing to guarantee Sakuta's future"
Copy !req
158. and "There's no guarantee
Sakuta will lead a happy retired life"
Copy !req
159. into "noun" or "verb."
Copy !req
160. Sensei, I sense malice emanating from the question.
Copy !req
161. Just answer it.
Copy !req
162. Which one is the "guarantee" from
"Nobody is willing to guarantee Sakuta's future"?
Copy !req
163. Uh...
Copy !req
164. Sorry. Please give me a hint.
Copy !req
165. One means "to take responsibility for,"
and the other means "assurance."
Copy !req
166. So the one in "I'll guarantee
Mai-san's happy future" is a verb,
Copy !req
167. and the one in "We have a guarantee
for a wonderful married life" is a noun?
Copy !req
168. Don't go changing the question.
Copy !req
169. What's your sister up to?
Copy !req
170. Gone to bed already, I think.
Copy !req
171. Are you an only child?
Copy !req
172. I have a younger sister.
Copy !req
173. A half-sister, though. My parents divorced,
and my dad had her with his new wife.
Copy !req
174. Is she cute?
Copy !req
175. Not as cute as me.
Copy !req
176. Wow, talk about petty.
Copy !req
177. Do you like girls who praise other girls' looks
despite knowing they're the more attractive one?
Copy !req
178. Nah, I hate those types.
Copy !req
179. Right?
Copy !req
180. But come on. She's your sister.
Copy !req
181. Good.
Copy !req
182. I'm glad they worked.
Copy !req
183. I can't go to sleep yet.
Copy !req
184. You did great, Sakuta.
Copy !req
185. You tried so hard for me.
Copy !req
186. No... I'm not done yet.
Copy !req
187. You've done more than enough. You can rest now.
Copy !req
188. No... I can't.
Copy !req
189. I've always been alone anyway.
Copy !req
190. I'll be fine.
Copy !req
191. It won't bother me one bit if you forget about me.
Copy !req
192. But still, thanks for everything.
Copy !req
193. And I'm sorry.
Copy !req
194. Good night, Sakuta.
Copy !req
195. And goodbye.
Copy !req
196. Teenage Pig Doesn't

Copy !req
197. chan! Onii-chan! Wake up!
Copy !req
198. Isn't today the last day of midterms?
Copy !req
199. Do you want to be late?
Copy !req
200. You're a lifesaver, Kaede.
Copy !req
201. Thanks for waking me up.
Copy !req
202. Wh-What is this?
Copy !req
203. I bought it for you to wear, I guess?
Copy !req
204. N-No way!
Copy !req
205. I'm not ready to wear such sexy outfits yet!

210. You have to."

211. What is this?

212. May 6th
Copy !req
213. I ran into a bunny girl in the wild.
Copy !req
214. It was a student at Minegahara High
Copy !req

Copy !req
216. I went to Fujisawa Library, and there
Copy !req
217. "May 6th.
Copy !req
218. I ran into a bunny girl in the wild.
Copy !req
219. It was a student at Minegahara High,
one year my senior.
Copy !req
220. The celebrity..."
Copy !req
221. What is this, an old creative writing exercise?
Copy !req
222. rode the train...
Copy !req
223. Ogaki Station...
Copy !req
224. went to the shops...
Copy !req
225. Yeah, I did go to Ogaki,
but wasn't that just a solo trip?
Copy !req
226. We were both tired, so
Copy !req
227. Mai-san used the shower...
Copy !req
228. sound of the shower alone...
Copy !req
229. called on the phone...
Copy !req
230. We were both silent for a while.
Copy !req
231. "Hey, want to kiss?"
Copy !req
232. Mai-san asked suddenly.
Copy !req
233. I thought for a moment.
Copy !req
234. san
Copy !req
235. Am I supposed to fill in the blanks
once I get a girlfriend?
Copy !req
236. You look a lot better today.
Copy !req
237. You were like a zombie the last couple days.
Copy !req
238. Were you always the type to pull all-nighters before exams?
Copy !req
239. Nah. I'm the type to throw in the towel and go to sleep.
Copy !req
240. Figures.
Copy !req
241. What's up?
Copy !req
242. Well...
Copy !req
243. It felt like someone was staring at me.
Copy !req
244. Hey.
Copy !req
245. Here.
Copy !req
246. A love letter?
Copy !req
247. Hell no.
Copy !req
248. "all things and states are only determined to exist when they're observed."
Copy !req
249. The heck is this?
Copy !req
250. I have no idea either.
Copy !req
251. I found it in my textbook this morning.
Copy !req
252. Along with this note.
Copy !req
253. Give this letter
to Azusagawa
Copy !req
254. Give this letter
to Azusagawa
Copy !req
255. Well, my job here is done.
Copy !req
256. "If blank's disappearance is caused by the student body's subconscious ignoring of her,
Copy !req
257. then Azusagawa just needs to give her a different purpose in their heads.
Copy !req
258. In other words, his love just needs to overwrite their cognizance, or lack thereof."
Copy !req
259. Love, huh?
Copy !req

Copy !req
270. Huh?
Copy !req
271. What's the matter, Azusagawa?
Copy !req
272. Number two!
Copy !req
273. I've remembered something important:
Copy !req
274. the memories of someone dear to me.
Copy !req
275. What I'm going to be fighting now is the flow.
Copy !req
276. The flow you can't pull, push, or hit.
Copy !req
277. The flow coursing all through this school.
Copy !req
278. Living life going with the flow is easy.
Copy !req
279. Thinking for yourself about what's right and wrong takes energy,
Copy !req
280. and you can get hurt if you have views of your own that are rejected.
Copy !req
281. On the other hand, following the herd gives you safety and security.
Copy !req
282. You can be blind to things you don't want to see,
Copy !req
283. ignorant to things you don't want to think about.
Copy !req
284. You can sweep it all under the rug.
Copy !req
285. But everyone else doing it
doesn't justify hurting someone.
Copy !req
286. Everyone else saying or doing something doesn't make it right.
Copy !req
287. Who is "everyone," anyway?
Copy !req
288. Kanagawa Prefectural Minegahara High School
Copy !req
289. She always plays the
older-girl card to mess with me.
Copy !req
290. She always digs her own grave with dirty talk
and leaves herself red-faced.
Copy !req
291. And then, she gets all stubborn
and tries to hide her embarrassment.
Copy !req
292. She's selfish, bossy, capricious,
Copy !req
293. and surprisingly naïve for a girl
who's a year older than me.
Copy !req
294. I won't let you guys ignore her anymore. I won't let you turn a blind eye.
Copy !req
295. I'm going to etch her into your memories so vividly that you won't be able to!
Copy !req
296. I'm done going with the flow. Screw that!
Copy !req
297. Listen up well, you jerks!
Copy !req
298. I'm Azusagawa Sakuta, roll number 1 in class 2-1,
Copy !req
299. and Sakurajima Mai of class 3-1...
Copy !req
300. is the one I love!
Copy !req
301. I love Sakurajima-senpai!
Copy !req
302. Shit! I should've known this would happen!
Copy !req
303. I embarrassed myself for nothing!
Copy !req
304. This is why I didn't want to fight the flow!
Copy !req
305. Damn it all!
Copy !req
306. Mai-san, I love you!
Copy !req
307. I love, love, love, love, love you!
Copy !req
308. Mai-san, I love you!
Copy !req
309. I want to hold hands and walk down Shichirigahama Beach with you!
Copy !req
310. I want to see you as a bunny girl again!
Copy !req
311. I want to hold you tight,
Copy !req
312. and I want to kiss you too!
Copy !req
313. Long story short, Mai-san!
Copy !req
314. I super-duper-ultra-giga love you!
Copy !req
315. You don't have to yell like a madman. I can hear you.
Copy !req
316. You're being a nuisance, you know.
Copy !req
317. I figured I might as well let everyone around the world know.
Copy !req
318. You're such an idiot.
Copy !req
319. Better to be an idiot than someone pretending to be smart, right?
Copy !req
320. A complete and utter fool!
Copy !req
321. Doing this will only make people
spread weird rumors about you again!
Copy !req
322. I'd be perfectly fine with a few rumors about you and me.
Copy !req
323. That's not the point.
Copy !req
324. You idiot.
Copy !req
325. Sakuta, you idiot.
Copy !req
326. What? Why?
Copy !req
327. You liar! You said you wouldn't forget!
Copy !req
328. You said you'd never forget!
Copy !req
329. Sorry.
Copy !req
330. I won't forgive you.
Copy !req
331. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
332. I'll never forgive you.
Copy !req
333. I won't let you go until you do.
Copy !req
334. Then I won't for the rest of my life.
Copy !req
335. Huh?
Copy !req
336. What, do you have a problem with that?
Copy !req
337. After all you're making me say?
Copy !req
338. Uh...
Copy !req
339. Your foot...
Copy !req
340. Aren't you happy I'm stepping on you?
Copy !req
341. Sorry. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
342. It won't happen again, so please forgive me.
Copy !req
343. Anything else?
Copy !req
344. I feel very fortunate to have you step on me.
Copy !req
345. That's not what I want to hear right now.
Copy !req
346. I like you.
Copy !req
347. Really?
Copy !req
348. Not really.
Copy !req
349. I love you.
Copy !req
350. Hey, Sakuta.
Copy !req
351. What?
Copy !req
352. Say that again one month from now.
Copy !req
353. Why?
Copy !req
354. If I gave you an answer now, I'd feel like I got carried away in the heat of the moment.
Copy !req
355. Personally, I'd like to kiss you right here and now.
Copy !req
356. Maybe my heart is only beating so fast right now
in the heat of the moment, too.
Copy !req
357. You're awfully calm and collected about this.
Copy !req
358. Well, I can't wait a month, so can I say it every day?
Copy !req
359. Sure, but you'd better keep it up
for the whole month.
Copy !req
360. If you don't, I'll assume that you changed your mind.
Copy !req
361. People sure do love going with the flow.
Copy !req
362. You know that rumor about Sakuta
sending his classmates to the hospital?
Copy !req
363. It's complete hogwash!
Copy !req
364. Why does Sakurajima-senpai know about that?
Copy !req
365. What's their deal, anyway?
Copy !req
366. There. I told them like you wanted.
Copy !req
367. Thanks to you, I'm the center of attention now.
Copy !req
368. Am I going to get lectured in the staff room? Boy, will that suck.
Copy !req
369. Hey, no big deal.
Copy !req
370. I'll be there to get yelled at with you.
Copy !req
371. I guess that doesn't sound too bad.
Copy !req
372. You two over there!
Copy !req
373. Come with me!
Copy !req
374. And so, Sakurajima Mai once again became a part of our world.
Copy !req
375. June 2nd
Copy !req
376. June 2nd
Copy !req
377. Your heart's gotta be made of steel, Sakuta.
Copy !req
378. I would've died of embarrassment by now.
Copy !req
379. But that's our Azusagawa.
The most teenage of teenage pigs.
Copy !req
380. What's that supposed to mean?
Copy !req
381. When rumors of the hospitalization incident spread all around school,
Copy !req
382. you said it'd be entirely pointless to fight the flow, remember?
Copy !req
