1. It feels so nice when you
can head to school early.Copy !req
2. We have an English quiz today,
so I'll do some review.Copy !req
3. Oh, right. I should get fresh water for
the flowers Satou-san brought, too.Copy !req
4. Yes, an excellent start!
Today is sure to be a great day!Copy !req
5. Oh, good morning, Iwakura-san.Copy !req
6. It's Kanechika-senpai.Copy !req
7. How cultured!Copy !req
8. Perfect timing.Copy !req
9. I wanted to ask you about that guy in your—Copy !req
10. I'm sorry!Copy !req
11. I'm flattered you said I could
be a memorable star actorCopy !req
12. and asked me to join your club,Copy !req
13. but I have a different purpose in life...Copy !req
14. When did I say all that?Copy !req
15. Ah, I see. That's too bad.Copy !req
16. But I hope you can fulfill
your purpose in life.Copy !req
17. Thank you very much.Copy !req
18. Still, without you in our club,
our future is bleak indeed.Copy !req
19. I-I'd be happy to help in any way I can!Copy !req
20. Really? That'd be great!Copy !req
21. This girl's a pushover. I worry for her.Copy !req
22. Let's get right to watching this video, then.Copy !req
23. An old TV show?Copy !req
24. Yeah.Copy !req
25. It went up against a super-hit show in the
same time slot and lost the ratings battle,Copy !req
26. but it was a simple, good show,
and it still has plenty of hardcore fans.Copy !req
27. Huh... But what does it have to...Copy !req
28. Can I come hang out tomorrow?Copy !req
29. Sh... Shima-kun?!Copy !req
30. Wow! He was so cute!Copy !req
31. You noticed?Copy !req
32. Look at his big, round eyes!
He's like an angel!Copy !req
33. He played Kanade-kun,
the lead's best friend.Copy !req
34. Wait, what is Shima-kun doing there?Copy !req
35. He appears in most episodes and
is really... Are you listening?Copy !req
36. He's so tiny! And cute!Copy !req
37. What do you think of his acting?Copy !req
38. I'm no expert,Copy !req
39. but I think it's good.Copy !req
40. Yeah, he is good.Copy !req
41. Why are you always like this, Mom?!Copy !req
42. It's remarkable enough that he could express
such a range of emotions at that age,Copy !req
43. but he also did it while understanding
the context of the scene.Copy !req
44. Really smart.Copy !req
45. Iwakura-san... No, Mitsumi-kun!Copy !req
46. Could you convince Shima-kun
to join the drama club?Copy !req
47. What?!Copy !req
48. I don't know about that...Copy !req
49. You two are close, right?Copy !req
50. Please help me! I can't
get through to him at all!Copy !req
51. Actually, even if he refuses,
I just want to know why!Copy !req
52. You're his friend! Could you ask him for me?!Copy !req
53. Satou-san's flowersCopy !req
54. Morning, Iwakura-san.Copy !req
55. You're here later than usual today.Copy !req
56. Yeah...Copy !req
57. My perfect morning...Copy !req
58. Morning, Mitsumi-chan.Copy !req
59. Good morning, Shima-kun, Mukai-kun.Copy !req
60. Just now, I...Copy !req
61. I saw Terada-sensei doing
squats in the courtyard!Copy !req
62. We should learn from his example!Copy !req
63. I'm not sure I want to.Copy !req
64. English QuizCopy !req
65. Wait, wait.Copy !req
66. He was on TV, right?Copy !req
67. If I were him, I would've
bragged about it in my self-intro.Copy !req
68. But since he didn't mention it,Copy !req
69. maybe he doesn't want anyone to know.Copy !req
70. Given that...Copy !req
71. I saw your little show.Copy !req
72. Heh heh...Copy !req
73. So, why aren't you joining
the drama club, again?Copy !req
74. Heh heh...Copy !req
75. I can't bring it up!
It'd be tactless as all hell!Copy !req
76. Time's up! Pass your papers forward!Copy !req
77. Iwakura MitsumiCopy !req
78. I've never seen anyone get
so depressed over a quiz.Copy !req
79. Me neither.Copy !req
80. Mitsumi?Copy !req
81. Our next class is this way.Copy !req
82. JapaneseCopy !req
83. I don't know the answer.Copy !req
84. Mitsumi?Copy !req
85. Mitsumi!Copy !req
86. It looks like Iwakura-san's
not feeling too well.Copy !req
87. You okay?Copy !req
88. Take the rest of the class off
and go rest in the infirmary.Copy !req
89. Eggscuse me.Copy !req
90. The nurse isn't in, huh?Copy !req
91. I'm hopeless.Copy !req
92. I'm so distracted by this one thing,
I'm messing up everything else.Copy !req
93. Boo!Copy !req
94. Whoa!Copy !req
95. That scared me!Copy !req
96. Why are you here?Copy !req
97. The boys are playing soccer over there.Copy !req
98. I came here to drink some water,
and then I saw you.Copy !req
99. So, what happened to you?Copy !req
100. I got hit in the face by a volleyball.Copy !req
101. What? You okay?Copy !req
102. Yeah, the nosebleed stopped immediately.Copy !req
103. Oh, is this my chance to ask him?Copy !req
104. Let's try slipping it in casually.Copy !req
105. Did you watch that TV show yesterday?Copy !req
106. Nope. Was there something good on?Copy !req
107. Heh. I didn't watch it either.Copy !req
108. You've been acting weird today.
Is something wrong?Copy !req
109. Sorry, the thing is...Copy !req
110. I see now.Copy !req
111. Senpai's up to his tricks, huh?Copy !req
112. Oh, but don't be too mad at him.Copy !req
113. I did think he was being a little pushy,Copy !req
114. but it felt like Kanechika-senpai's just
trying to do whatever he can for his club.Copy !req
115. Well, it's not a big deal.Copy !req
116. It was gonna get out eventually.Copy !req
117. And people who went to my middle school,
like Mukai, already know anyway.Copy !req
118. Oh, huh.Copy !req
119. With all due respect to Senpai,
I don't wanna act anymore.Copy !req
120. I did give it my all back then,
not because I found it fun...Copy !req
121. but because it made my mom happy.Copy !req
122. How about you?Copy !req
123. What made you come to Tokyo
to try to join the government?Copy !req
124. That thing you said was a joke, right?
About being born to lead or whatever.Copy !req
125. Forget about that already!Copy !req
126. Well, my hometown's a great place.
Beautiful landscape and ocean views.Copy !req
127. But it's pretty badly underpopulated.Copy !req
128. I could have stayed there and helped,Copy !req
129. but Japan's full of places like that, right?Copy !req
130. If I can, I want to tackle
the problem at its core.Copy !req
131. I mean, I'm like my
hometown's biggest prodigy!Copy !req
132. You don't need to laugh it off.
I think that's a great goal.Copy !req
133. Thanks. I'll do my best.Copy !req
134. Great.Copy !req
135. You and Kanechika-senpai are amazing.Copy !req
136. Nah, I'm really just doing it for myself.Copy !req
137. But putting your goal out there means
dealing with hopes and expectations, right?Copy !req
138. I couldn't handle it,
pathetic as it may sound.Copy !req
139. I...Copy !req
140. I nearly let the pressure get to me, too!Copy !req
141. Really?Copy !req
142. Really!Copy !req
143. I was so afraid of failing my entrance
exams, I couldn't even eat for a while!Copy !req
144. I would've lost my mind
if it weren't for Fumi!Copy !req
145. Fumi?Copy !req
146. Oh, she's my best friend.
We grew up together.Copy !req
147. Evening!Copy !req
148. Let's go grab some gyoza, Mitsumi-chan.Copy !req
149. Nope.Copy !req
150. What if I forget this vocab while eating?Copy !req
151. Yeah, yeah, you'll be fine.Copy !req
152. Pops is waiting outside.Copy !req
153. Just get in the car.Copy !req
154. Here you are.Copy !req
155. Wow, there it is!Copy !req
156. Lemme divvy up the fried rice.Copy !req
157. Once you're done with your exams,Copy !req
158. let's come back here for gyoza. Pass or fail.Copy !req
159. There's nothing worth celebrating if I fail.Copy !req
160. Hah! In society's eyes, maybe.Copy !req
161. But having taken up the challenge
will be worth a whole lot to you,Copy !req
162. and to me, too, because
I know how hard you're trying.Copy !req
163. S'good.Copy !req
164. Right?Copy !req
165. Even if I'm only doing this for myself,Copy !req
166. it made me happy to have a friend
know and watch over me.Copy !req
167. Sounds like a good friend.Copy !req
168. Yeah!Copy !req
169. Lucky you.Copy !req
170. We can do the same, then!Copy !req
171. If you ever find a goal for yourself,Copy !req
172. then, succeed or fail, we'll go anywhere
you want and eat some good food!Copy !req
173. That's a promise, okay?Copy !req
174. Okay.Copy !req
175. He's not going to join. Absolutely not.Copy !req
176. Aww!Copy !req
177. There you have it.Copy !req
178. But why? He told you, right?Copy !req
179. Yes, but I can't tell you.
A good friend wouldn't do that.Copy !req
180. Let him know he's always welcome
if he ever changes his mind!Copy !req
181. Yeah, we're friends...Copy !req
182. That's a promise, okay?Copy !req
183. So why does my pinky feel all tingly?Copy !req
184. Scene 04: Tingling and ScrapingCopy !req
185. Long time no see, everyone.Copy !req
186. Morning, Mitsumi.Copy !req
187. Been a while, huh?Copy !req
188. Good morning.Copy !req
189. You look like you made the most
out of the Golden Week holidays.Copy !req
190. You can tell?Copy !req
191. My aunt showed me all over Tokyo!Copy !req
192. m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100Copy !req
193. AsakusaCopy !req
194. Oh, right. You're still new here.Copy !req
195. m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100Copy !req
196. OmotesandoCopy !req
197. m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100Copy !req
198. ShinjukuCopy !req
199. And she helped you pick out
some new clothes, too?Copy !req
200. Good for you.Copy !req
201. What'd you guys do over the break?Copy !req
202. I was too busy studying for midterms,
so I didn't go anywhere.Copy !req
203. Same here.Copy !req
204. Huh?Copy !req
205. You're cramming for exams already?Copy !req
206. Nope! Not me!Copy !req
207. You and your living-abroad experience.Copy !req
208. Must be nice not having to study English.Copy !req
209. You're not getting any help from me
if you're gonna be like that.Copy !req
210. You've lived abroad, Yuzu-chan?Copy !req
211. Whoa, cool!Copy !req
212. It was only until third grade.
I still have to grind vocab like you guys.Copy !req
213. This school sure has a lot of
students who've lived abroad.Copy !req
214. It does?Copy !req
215. I hear there are a couple
or so in each class.Copy !req
216. I thought I was disciplined.Copy !req
217. But I've lost control of myself
ever since getting into high school.Copy !req
218. Now I don't know what to do.Copy !req
219. She's so damn square.Copy !req
220. I think you have the right mindset.Copy !req
221. Let's see...Copy !req
222. She scored the highest in the entrance
exams without going to cram school,Copy !req
223. and she was in the top 20
in the recent tests.Copy !req
224. What in the world is she worried about?Copy !req
225. That said, it's good that
she's staying on her toes.Copy !req
226. Oh.Copy !req
227. You've joined the Tsubame Society?Copy !req
228. Yes.Copy !req
229. Then you know someone who's
the definition of disciplined!Copy !req
230. Not happening.Copy !req
231. I can't accept these budget cuts.Copy !req
232. You know we're taking this seriously!Copy !req
233. Many clubs take their activities seriously.Copy !req
234. Which is why we took another look at
the budget, taking results into account,Copy !req
235. m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100Copy !req
236. Student Council TreasurerCopy !req
237. and concluded that the cultural
clubs were underfunded.Copy !req
238. Segawa-san, as the soccer
team's future captain,Copy !req
239. you should try to spend
your budget more wisely.Copy !req
240. We can barely make do
with the current budget!Copy !req
241. Also, we're starting to do
better in tournaments!Copy !req
242. We found no concrete evidence of that.Copy !req
243. As I said, if you write a report
supporting your case, we'll consider it.Copy !req
244. Where is it?Copy !req
245. You'll pay for this!Copy !req
246. We met in the student council
office the other day. Er...Copy !req
247. I'm Iwakura—No, please call me
Mitsumi, Takamine-senpai!Copy !req
248. I've been trying to get rid
of the slacker within me.Copy !req
249. When I went to Hanazono-sensei,Copy !req
250. she said nobody in this school
is as disciplined as you!Copy !req
251. If you don't mind, would you let me
help with your student council work?!Copy !req
252. Sensei said that?Copy !req
253. Ahem.Copy !req
254. I-If you insist, far be it from me to refuse!Copy !req
255. Thank you so much!Copy !req
256. Hanazono-sensei's gotta be
the biggest slacker in the faculty here.Copy !req
257. Student Council OfficeCopy !req
258. Lecture On Urban FarmingCopy !req
259. I want to take the express that leaves
at six past the hour and transfer to a bus,Copy !req
260. which means I should leave now.Copy !req
261. Council Member Okada-san's sick today,Copy !req
262. so I'll stop by Noyama-san's place instead.Copy !req
263. It's just to say hi and drop off this
paperwork, so join me, Mitsumi-san.Copy !req
264. Yes, ma'am!Copy !req
265. A lecture on urban farming?Copy !req
266. I had no idea students did
planning for things like this.Copy !req
267. It isn't that surprising.Copy !req
268. Some schools even have their students
plan their own school trips.Copy !req
269. What?!Copy !req
270. When do they study?Copy !req
271. The reality is, some people are naturally
gifted, and some just work hard.Copy !req
272. Personally, I recognized that
I can't keep up unless I work hard.Copy !req
273. That's why I started keeping this schedule.Copy !req
274. I-I see.Copy !req
275. Objective self-analysis
and tireless hard work.Copy !req
276. You're so cool, Senpai!Copy !req
277. A-Am I?Copy !req
278. I can't tell her that my dispositionCopy !req
279. leads to weekly nightmares about
missing a bus or train and crying, but...Copy !req
280. Don't leave me!Copy !req
281. RespectCopy !req

299. I'm happy I found someone
who truly understands!Copy !req
300. As her senpai, I must put her
on the right path!Copy !req
301. Do you want a gummy?
I bought some this morning.Copy !req
302. It's times like these, Mitsumi-san!Copy !req
303. Huh?Copy !req
304. From watching you today, I've noticed
that you have the tendency to space out.Copy !req
305. I-I do?!Copy !req
306. Do you have any study material on you?Copy !req
307. Yes!Copy !req
308. Don't waste your travel time.Copy !req
309. Make the most of each moment,
so you don't have any regrets!Copy !req
310. Yes!Copy !req
311. No regrets!Copy !req
312. See you again.Copy !req
313. Yes. We'll be leaving now.Copy !req
314. That took longer than expected.Copy !req
315. Oh, no! The bus leaves in two minutes!Copy !req
316. Mitsumi-san!Copy !req
317. Do you think Noyama-san's farm is that way?Copy !req
318. We can find out some other time!Copy !req
319. If we run, we might still make the bus!Copy !req
320. O-Okay!Copy !req
321. I nearly forgot! Discipline!Copy !req
322. The next bus isn't for another fifteen minutes.Copy !req
323. Ugh, my stomach hurts!Copy !req
324. I was supposed to have finished
shopping for study guides in Shibuya—Copy !req
325. Senpai.Copy !req
326. Wha? Where did you get that?!Copy !req
327. He was just over there.Copy !req
328. This must be a house cat, right?
He's really friendly.Copy !req
329. Where did he come from?Copy !req
330. It's like... Mitsumi-san seems diligent,Copy !req
331. but deep down, she's...Copy !req
332. It's amazing that buses show up
every fifteen minutes here!Copy !req
333. That'll go by in a flash
playing with this guy.Copy !req
334. Well, it's not like panicking
will make the bus come any faster.Copy !req
335. Taro-chan! Where are you?Copy !req
336. Thank you! I guess he
just slipped out the door.Copy !req
337. Have these, if you'd like.Copy !req
338. Thank you.Copy !req
339. There's lots of traffic here,
so I'm glad you found him.Copy !req
340. I lost 63 minutes!Copy !req
341. Can I get back on track by at least
studying geography on this bus?Copy !req
342. Rainfall in Southeast Asia,Copy !req
343. and then memorize...Copy !req
344. Wow! Look, Senpai!Copy !req
345. What now?!Copy !req
346. I didn't know even Tokyo
had this kind of scenery.Copy !req
347. Sorry, I did it again!Copy !req
348. I'll memorize some vocab.Copy !req
349. Oh, well.Copy !req
350. Days like this aren't too bad in moderation.Copy !req
351. Takamine-senpai is so amazing!Copy !req
352. She's like some hotshot CEO!Copy !req
353. "Make the most of each moment,
so you don't have any regrets!"Copy !req
354. Maybe I should make a schedule, too.Copy !req
355. First, I need to take a closer look
at my usual time-wasters.Copy !req
356. Decide what food to get at the
convenience store in three minutes.Copy !req
357. I'll need that decision-making
ability for government work.Copy !req
358. I should use recess to study, too.Copy !req
359. Asking friends and teachers for help
will build my communication skills.Copy !req
360. Should I turn down one in three
invitations to hang out?Copy !req
361. Hmm, I guess it depends on the details.Copy !req
362. My calls home run pretty long.Copy !req
363. But they worry about me.
I can't call that wasted time.Copy !req
364. That time I spent with
Fumi was indispensable, too.Copy !req
365. But can I only say that because
it worked out in the end?Copy !req
366. What does having no regrets even mean?!Copy !req
367. Wait!Copy !req
368. Don't leave me!Copy !req
369. Oh, good morning, Shima-kun.Copy !req
370. Morning.Copy !req
371. Whoa, what's with those bags?Copy !req
372. Oh, they're that bad, huh?Copy !req
373. I was up late coming up with a schedule.Copy !req
374. A schedule?Copy !req
375. I thought I'd give what I learned
from Takamine-senpai a shot.Copy !req
376. Wow. Wow.Copy !req
377. PACKEDCopy !req
378. PACKEDCopy !req
379. Not great if you're losing sleep, though.Copy !req
380. I'm just not used to it yet.Copy !req
381. Takamine-senpai!Copy !req
382. Good morning!Copy !req
383. Senpai?Copy !req
384. Ahem.Copy !req
385. Forgive me. Good morning,
Mitsumi-san, Shima-kun.Copy !req
386. Thank you for yesterday.Copy !req
387. I learned a lot from you!Copy !req
388. Right. About that...Copy !req
389. I don't think it's a good idea
to follow my lead.Copy !req
390. I was too ashamed to mention it,Copy !req
391. but I failed to get into my
preferred middle school.Copy !req
392. Sometimes, I do think about the what-ifs,Copy !req
393. but I've come to enjoy my high school life.Copy !req
394. You never find out where you made the best
use of your time until much later in life.Copy !req
395. So ultimately, I think what matters
is to decide how you spend it yourself.Copy !req
396. Takamine!Copy !req
397. I brought your stupid paperwork!Copy !req
398. The soccer team's achievements
over the past few years!Copy !req
399. Member count!
All the data you could ever want!Copy !req
400. Well? You can't complain now!Copy !req
401. I certainly cannot.Copy !req
402. I'll go through this today
and take it into account.Copy !req
403. Is it okay if I get back to you
tomorrow or the day after?Copy !req
404. You sure?Copy !req
405. Hmm? Of course.Copy !req
406. This data is very well organized.Copy !req
407. Did you do this yourself, Segawa-san?Copy !req
408. Yeah, I did!Copy !req
409. Huh?Copy !req
410. Don't just start smiling
at me out of nowhere!Copy !req
411. Segawa?Copy !req
412. Where does he find all that energy?Copy !req
413. Anyway, I'll see you in the student
council office sometime.Copy !req
414. Takamine-senpai really is wonderful.Copy !req
415. Yeah, she's cool.Copy !req
416. But, hey, you heard her.Copy !req
417. You should do things your own way.Copy !req
418. But I want to stick to this
after all the time I spent on it.Copy !req
419. Yeah, but sticking to a method that
you know isn't gonna work for you?Copy !req
420. That's the definition of a waste of time.Copy !req
421. So cold!Copy !req
422. Your logic is so cold, Shima-kun!Copy !req
