1. Hey, why don't we kiss?
Copy !req
2. This girl who teases me, saying as such...
Copy !req
3. Wait... who is she?
Copy !req
4. MAY 29th
Copy !req
5. "What is written hereafter is
truly something unbelievable, but...
Copy !req
6. Everything is the truth,
so make sure to read until the very end.
Copy !req
7. You have to!"
Copy !req
8. What is this?
Copy !req
9. It was my senpai, a third-year
at Minegahara High School.
I went to Fujisawa Library, and there...
Copy !req
10. "May 6th. I met a wild bunny girl."
Copy !req
11. MAY 6th
Copy !req
12. What the hell?
Copy !req
13. I'm surprised.
So, you can still see me?
Copy !req
14. See you, then.
Copy !req
15. Um, you're Sakurajima-senpai, aren't you?
Copy !req
16. If you're calling me "senpai",
it means you go to Minegahara High School?
Copy !req
17. I'm Sakuta Azusagawa, class 2-1.
Copy !req
18. Azusagawa is spelled like the Azusagawa Rest Area,
and Sakuta is spelled "blooming Taro".
Copy !req
19. I'm Mai Sakurajima.
Copy !req
20. Sakurajima is spelled like Mai Sakurajima,
and Mai is spelled like Mai Sakurajima.
Copy !req
21. I know. You're a celebrity.
Copy !req
22. I'll give you one warning.
Copy !req
23. Forget about what you saw today.
Copy !req
24. Also, don't have anything to do with me
under any circumstances.
Copy !req
25. If you understand, then say "yes."
Copy !req
26. She told me to forget, but...
Copy !req
27. Kaede, it's morning. Wake up.
Copy !req
28. Big Brother, it's cold.
Copy !req
29. Heavy!
Copy !req
30. Half of Kaede is made of her feelings for you.
Copy !req
31. What's with that embarrassing setup?
Copy !req
32. You're already at a decent age,
maybe outgrow crawling into my bed.
Copy !req
33. I see, because you wake up too excited.
Copy !req
34. Who'd get excited over their little sister?
Copy !req
35. Hey, do you like bunny girls, Kunimi?
Copy !req
36. No, not exactly.
Copy !req
37. So you love them?
Copy !req
38. Yep, I love them!
Copy !req
39. For example, if you were to bump into
a pretty bunny girl at the library,
Copy !req
40. what would you do?
Copy !req
41. I'd do a double-take.
Copy !req
42. Right?
Copy !req
43. Then, I'd totally gawk at her.
Copy !req
44. Right?
Copy !req
45. Hey, Kunimi...
Copy !req
46. You can see Sakurajima-senpai, can't you?
Copy !req
47. Yeah, crystal clear.
Copy !req
48. I wonder what kind of a person she is.
Copy !req
49. Hmm... Well, she's a celebrity, right?
Copy !req
50. Yeah, she would be.
Copy !req
51. She's still in showbiz,
even though she's on hiatus, right?
Copy !req
52. Yeah, and I was surprised to discover
that she attends our school.
Copy !req
53. It's nice to see you show interest
in a girl other than Shoko Makinohara,
Copy !req
54. but she's probably impossible, even for you.
Copy !req
55. I wasn't going to ask her out,
let alone be in love with her.
Copy !req
56. Then what's up?
Copy !req
57. Well, just thinking how I've never seen her
together with someone else at school.
Copy !req
58. She's always alone, you know.
Copy !req
59. Morning, Yuuma!
Copy !req
60. Hey, Kamisato.
Copy !req
61. See ya, Sakuta.
Copy !req
62. I heard from a senpai on my team...
Copy !req
63. Apparently Sakurajima didn't come to school
at the start of her first year.
Copy !req
64. Why?
Copy !req
65. For work.
Copy !req
66. She declared going on hiatus
straight out of middle school,
Copy !req
67. but she was locked into some prior titles,
so she apparently was busy.
Copy !req
68. He said she didn't seriously go to school
until after summer break.
Copy !req
69. That's a bit rough.
Copy !req
70. Isn't it?
Copy !req
71. Sakurajima-senpai, the celebrity who
started school midway through the first year,
Copy !req
72. is totally an outsider.
Copy !req
73. Once the class takes its shape,
it doesn't change easily.
Copy !req
74. Others will talk behind your back if you stand out,
calling you annoying or a show off.
Copy !req
75. And once that happens, everyone knows
that there's no going back.
Copy !req
76. That's the kind of pace a school is...
Copy !req
77. Nobody can approach
Sakurajima-senpai to talk to her.
Copy !req
78. They don't want to stand out,
to be isolated...
Copy !req
79. That's why Sakurajima-senpai
is also reading the situation,
Copy !req
80. and pretending to act accordingly.
Copy !req
81. I'm sure.
Copy !req
82. Hey, I need to talk to you.
Copy !req
83. I'll be blunt.
Don't talk to Yuuma ever again.
Copy !req
84. I don't think I'm interfering
in Kunimi's relationship with you, Kamisato.
Copy !req
85. That's not what I mean!
Copy !req
86. Everyone knows about
the Hospitalization Incident.
Copy !req
87. Oh, that Hospitalization Incident...
Copy !req
88. If Yuuma hangs out with the class loner,
his popularity will plummet.
Copy !req
89. I'd feel sorry for him if that happened.
Copy !req
90. So by that logic, your own popularity
is taking a nosedive, as well.
Copy !req
91. But you're fine with that?
Copy !req
92. Are you picking a fight?
Copy !req
93. Just accepting your challenge.
Copy !req
94. Why are you so irritated?
Are you on your period?
Copy !req
95. Wha—
Copy !req
96. Die, idiot! Just die!
Copy !req
97. This just can't be! You're the worst!
Copy !req
98. In the end...
Copy !req
99. Everyone says "I'm bored" or "Isn't there
anything interesting out there?" like pet phrases.
Copy !req
100. But in reality, none of them are
really looking for a change.
Copy !req
101. That's gotta be Mai Sakurajima.
Copy !req
102. Eh?
Copy !req
103. See? That's totally her!
Copy !req
104. I'll take a pic just in case.
Copy !req
105. Eh?
Copy !req
106. Come on, look this way a bit more.
Copy !req
107. Wh-What the hell are you?
Copy !req
108. A human. What are you,
an ogling photographer?
Copy !req
109. Wha— Why, you..!
Copy !req
110. Stop that. Let's go.
Copy !req
111. What's with that guy?
Like it's anything much.
Copy !req
112. Thanks.
Copy !req
113. You thought I'd get mad
and say to mind your own business?
Copy !req
114. Yes.
Copy !req
115. I thought it, but I'm holding it in.
Copy !req
116. Then I wish you didn't say that, either.
Copy !req
117. I'm used to stuff like that.
Copy !req
118. Even so, it wears you down inside, doesn't it?
Copy !req
119. Wears down...
You're right about that.
Copy !req
120. "Incoming call - Manager"
Copy !req
121. You don't have to answer that?
Copy !req
122. The train is here.
Copy !req
123. Besides, I know what that woman wants.
Copy !req
124. About that thing yesterday...
Copy !req
125. I warned you to forget about it, didn't I?
Copy !req
126. That bunny outfit was so erotic,
it's impossible to forget.
Copy !req
127. H-Hang on! You didn't do anything weird
while thinking about me, did you?
Copy !req
128. Well, I'm totally fine with being the subject
of erotic fantasies for young boys...
Copy !req
129. You know, Azusagawa-kun.
Copy !req
130. You remembered my name.
Copy !req
131. I saw the rumors about you...
Copy !req
132. Minegahara High School homepage
High Schools in Kanagawa
Copy !req
133. Something about a violent incident where
you sent three classmates to the hospital?
Copy !req
134. 1) Sakuta Azusagawa - dude sent 3 classmates
to the hospital after a violent incident in middle school.
He moved outta Yokohama - where'd he go?
Copy !req
135. 2) What's this hospitalization incident?
3) so scary lolol...
Copy !req
136. I'm honored that you'd take an interest in me.
Copy !req
137. It's really amazing.
Copy !req
138. All this information about one individual
being out in the open like this.
Copy !req
139. I didn't know it was written
to this extent, though.
Copy !req
140. You don't look it up yourself?
Copy !req
141. I don't have a smartphone.
Copy !req
142. Really?
Copy !req
143. I used to, but I got frustrated
and tossed it into the sea.
Copy !req
144. Throw trash away into trash cans.
Copy !req
145. You don't have any friends, do you?
Copy !req
146. Friends? I have two, even.
Copy !req
147. Can you say "even" with just two?
Copy !req
148. I feel having two friends
is more than enough.
Copy !req
149. I just have to be friends with them
for the rest of my life.
Copy !req
150. I see...
Copy !req
151. So, what did you think about
the Hospitalization Incident rumors?
Copy !req
152. It's pretty clear after some thought.
Copy !req
153. Someone who caused such a huge incident
couldn't attend school like nothing happened.
Copy !req
154. I wish my class could hear that line.
Copy !req
155. If it's wrong, then you need to tell them such.
Copy !req
156. A rumor is kind of like
the atmosphere, isn't it?
Copy !req
157. Since lately, the atmosphere
is something you need to read.
Copy !req
158. That "atmosphere" that labels you as
a bad person if you can't read it.
Copy !req
159. And the people creating that atmosphere
don't have a sense of participation,
Copy !req
160. so it's foolish to try
and fight against the atmosphere.
Copy !req
161. So you're leaving misunderstandings be,
and giving up before even fighting.
Copy !req
162. Your turn to talk, Senpai.
What was all that about yesterday?
Copy !req
163. I made my debut when I was six years old...
Copy !req
164. After getting the lead role
for the morning drama series,
Copy !req
165. television, movies, commercials...
I was always in the public eye.
Copy !req
166. There wasn't a day where I didn't
see Mai Sakurajima on TV.
Copy !req
167. It was fun in the beginning,
but it gradually became more stressful.
Copy !req
168. People would notice and say,
"That's THE Mai Sakurajima!" everywhere I went.
Copy !req
169. And at some point, I started wishing...
Copy !req
170. that I could go to a world
where nobody knew who I was.
Copy !req
171. I first noticed that people weren't able
to see me at the beginning of a 4-day weekend.
Copy !req
172. On a whim, I went to the aquarium.
Copy !req
173. Alone?
Copy !req
174. Is that bad?
Copy !req
175. and that's what she said.
Copy !req
176. - Eh? You're kidding me!
- It's true!
Copy !req
177. I thought it was just me at first,
since they were focused on viewing the fish.
Copy !req
178. But when I stopped in a café
on my way home...
Copy !req
179. Um, excuse me...
Copy !req
180. Excuse me...
Copy !req
181. Welcome.
Copy !req
182. Was it a shop that you did something
so terrible they banned your patronage?
Copy !req
183. Of course not.
Copy !req
184. Senpai, your foot...
Copy !req
185. Is something wrong with my foot?
Copy !req
186. No, I'm ecstatic that you
are stomping on mine.
Copy !req
187. In any case, quickly left the café
and went home.
Copy !req
188. But after returning to Fujisawa,
everyone saw me normally.
Copy !req
189. So I went around, seeing if something
similar would happen in other places.
Copy !req
190. That's why you were a bunny girl...
Copy !req
191. Looking like this, people would stare
if they saw me, right?
Copy !req
192. So you're going out as
a wild bunny girl again today?
Copy !req
193. Right, so don't get in the way.
Copy !req
194. One custard bun, please.
Copy !req
195. Excuse me, one custard bun, please.
Copy !req
196. Excuse me. A custard-filled bun.
Copy !req
197. Okay. Just one?
Copy !req
198. Yes, just one.
Copy !req
199. Aren't you at all troubled by this?
Copy !req
200. Right. Not being able to eat
the custard-filled buns here is a problem.
Copy !req
201. But do you actually believe
this insane story of mine?
Copy !req
202. I know what stories like that are called.
Copy !req
203. "Adolescence Syndrome," right?
Copy !req
204. Adolescence Syndrome, huh...
Copy !req
205. Hearing other people's thoughts,
or seeing another person's future,
Copy !req
206. or swapping bodies with someone else...
Copy !req
207. Rumors of that nature
started being called Adolescence Syndrome,
Copy !req
208. though nobody knows who coined the term.
Copy !req
209. That's just an urban legend.
Copy !req
210. What's this?
Copy !req
211. My apartment.
Copy !req
212. I won't do anything to you.
Copy !req
213. There's something I'd like to show you
so you'll believe me when I say...
Copy !req
214. "I believe you."
Copy !req
215. You keep it rather clean.
Copy !req
216. Senpai, you—
Copy !req
217. Stop with that "Senpai" thing.
I don't recall ever becoming your senpai.
Copy !req
218. Sakurajima-san?
Copy !req
219. My last name is a bit long.
Copy !req
220. Then, Mai.
Copy !req
221. Remember to add the "-san."
Copy !req
222. Then, Mai-san.
Copy !req
223. You really don't come across as "Azusagawa,"
so I'll call you "Sakuta-kun."
Copy !req
224. Wh-Why are you stripping!
You said you weren't going to do anything!
Copy !req
225. Filthy! Perverted! Exhibitionist!
Copy !req
226. That's real, isn't it?
Copy !req
227. You think there are idiots
who'd wear special make-up like this?
Copy !req
228. Can I touch it?
Copy !req
229. Go ahead.
Copy !req
230. Don't make any weird noises!
Copy !req
231. It's a bit sensitive there, so please be gentle.
Copy !req
232. Like this?
Copy !req
233. That feels really good.
Copy !req
234. Ow! Pain! Let go!
Copy !req
235. You just seem to be enjoying this.
Copy !req
236. Anyway, what caused such a wound?
Copy !req
237. Actually, I'm not really sure.
Copy !req
238. My little sister Kaede.
Copy !req
239. She wasn't assaulted or anything.
Just bullied on the internet.
Copy !req
240. I don't get what you're trying to say.
Copy !req
241. Something about not replying
to a message...
Copy !req
242. A girl who was the leader
of her class started hating her,
Copy !req
243. and people wrote all sorts of insults
in social media groups.
Copy !req
244. And then, one day...
Copy !req
245. Welcome home.
Copy !req
246. Big Brother...
Copy !req
247. Hmm? What's wrong?
Copy !req
248. This is why I believe
Adolescence Syndrome really exists.
Copy !req
249. That wound is from back then, too?
Copy !req
250. I have no idea how or why.
Copy !req
251. I awoke one morning covered in blood,
and was hospitalized.
Copy !req
252. Is that the truth
behind the Hospitalization Incident?
Copy !req
253. Yeah, I was the one sent to the hospital.
Copy !req
254. Big Brother, are you there?
Copy !req
255. S-So sorry!
Copy !req
256. If you were going to call for a professional lady
delivered to you, please say so in advance!
Copy !req
257. Kaede, you're making
a big misunderstanding.
Copy !req
258. Then, is she making you buy a vase?
Copy !req
259. I'm not being forced.
Copy !req
260. What about English-learning supplies...
Copy !req
261. I wasn't even recommended one,
so rest assured.
Copy !req
262. She's a senpai from my school.
Copy !req
263. I'm Mai Sakurajima. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
264. Nice to meet you. I'm Kaede Azusagawa.
Copy !req
265. Um, she said, "Nice to meet you.
I'm Kaede Azusagawa."
Copy !req
266. And this is Nasuno.
Copy !req
267. "And this is Nasuno," she says.
Copy !req
268. Thanks for letting me know, Kaede-chan.
Copy !req
269. Sorry about that.
She's very afraid of strangers.
Copy !req
270. Nowadays she loves the house so much,
she doesn't even go to school anymore...
Copy !req
271. So she doesn't know about me?
Copy !req
272. That's because...
She doesn't watch much TV.
Copy !req
273. For Kaede, distancing herself from the internet
subsided symptoms of Adolescence Syndrome.
Copy !req
274. Hence why I threw my smartphone
into the sea.
Copy !req
275. So you're saying my case
bares similarity to this?
Copy !req
276. I mean, you're reacting
to the atmosphere at school perfectly.
Copy !req
277. So to avoid making the situation any worse,
Copy !req
278. it's better for you
to return to show business.
Copy !req
279. Why's that?
Copy !req
280. If you stand out a lot on TV,
everyone else won't leave you alone,
Copy !req
281. even if you play
the role of the atmosphere.
Copy !req
282. Besides, you seem to want
to return to show-biz yourself.
Copy !req
283. When did I ever say such a thing?
Copy !req
284. I mean, you had a disapproving look
towards the movie ad on the train.
Copy !req
285. I think you should do what you want.
Copy !req
286. You have skill and experience,
even a manager who eagerly awaits your—
Copy !req
287. She has nothing to do with this.
Copy !req
288. Mind your own business.
Copy !req
289. Oh, the bathroom is—
Copy !req
290. I'm going home!
Copy !req
291. Wait, this—
Copy !req
292. Keep it!
Copy !req
293. Since then, Mai-san hasn't shown up to school.
Copy !req
294. I seem to have stepped on
a huge landmine or such.

Copy !req
298. Hey, Kunimi...
Copy !req
299. Do you know why Mai Sakurajima
said she was going on hiatus?
Copy !req
300. Wasn't it to focus on studying,
or at least superficially?
Copy !req
301. Azusagawa, that female announcer
is here again.
Copy !req
302. It's been a while.
Copy !req
303. And who were you again?
Copy !req
304. I see, so that's how you're playing.
Copy !req
305. Then, nice to meet you.

Copy !req
307. This is who I am.
Copy !req
308. And what can I do for you today?
Copy !req
309. I was in the area
covering a story about young sardines.
Copy !req
310. Since I had the afternoon off,
I came to see you.
Copy !req
311. And your order?
Copy !req
312. One Sakuta-kun to-go, please.
Copy !req
313. You seem to be out of your mind,
so I'll assume your order is one ambulance?
Copy !req
314. You still can't bring yourself
to talk about the incident?
Copy !req
315. Not for the rest of my life.
Copy !req
316. I'd just need one picture
of the scar on your chest.
Copy !req
317. No way.
Copy !req
318. Nanjo-san, would you know the reason
why Mai Sakurajima went on hiatus?
Copy !req
319. I think I know things normal folks don't,
to say the least.
Copy !req
320. I hear you're head-over-heels
for Sakurajima-senpai lately.
Copy !req
321. So you've gotten over
Shoko Makinohara, then?
Copy !req
322. First Kunimi, now you...
Why do you guys make that connection?
Copy !req
323. Add sugar if you want.
Copy !req
324. This is safe, right?
Copy !req
325. It's probably sugar inside.
I mean, it's white.
Copy !req
326. So what did you want to ask me?
Copy !req
327. Well, Futaba, do you think it's possible
to lose sight of someone?
Copy !req
328. If you're worried about your vision,
go see an optometrist.
Copy !req
329. That's not the issue.
Copy !req
330. As in someone is there but you
can't see them, like the invisible man.
Copy !req
331. Are you trying to sneak into
the girls' bathroom or something?
Copy !req
332. Nothing less from you, Azusagawa.
Such a rascal.
Copy !req
333. I'm not into scat.
Copy !req
334. If you're referring to Adolescence Syndrome,
I believe I've already said it before,
Copy !req
335. but I stand in the denial camp.
Copy !req
336. I know. It's just unreasonable.
So I came here for a reasonable explanation.
Copy !req
337. For instance, I'm sitting right
in front of you, Futaba.
Copy !req
338. Is it logically possible for me
to become invisible to you?
Copy !req
339. I'd need to be engrossed in something,
or simply space out.
Copy !req
340. The human brain doesn't look at
the things it doesn't want to see.
Copy !req
341. That's true.
But if it isn't something like that...
Copy !req
342. There's also the measurement theory.
Copy !req
343. Measurement theory?
Copy !req
344. The theory that the existence of something
is confirmed only when it is observed.
Copy !req
345. Surely you've at least heard
about the cat in the box, right?
Copy !req
346. Oh, right, that was...
Copy !req
347. Schrödinger's Cat.
Copy !req
348. Mai Sakurajima existed while in show-biz,
when everyone could see her...
Copy !req
349. Can I have one custard bun, please?
Copy !req
350. Okay, one custard bun.
Copy !req
351. Um, do you know who Mai Sakurajima is?
Copy !req
352. Huh?
Copy !req
353. You know, the child actor Mai Sakurajima,
who got her break in that morning drama.
Copy !req
