1. Nao-chan.
Copy !req
2. Can you give me some tips
on what to wear tomorrow?
Copy !req
3. Are you going out?
Copy !req
4. Yeah, to the zoo.
Copy !req
5. It's going to be a scorcher.
Better be prepared.
Copy !req
6. Sorry. I know I shouldn't
bother a pro for free advice.
Copy !req
7. Oh, please. You were worried about that?
Copy !req
8. Stylist
Copy !req
9. I see. It is your first time
asking me yourself...
Copy !req
10. Huh? Wait, is this a date?
Copy !req
11. No, no! Shima-kun's just a friend!
Copy !req
12. Shima? As in, Shimasuke?!
Copy !req
13. "Shimasuke"?
Copy !req
14. It's Shima-kun, the friend
I talk about all the time.
Copy !req
15. Didn't she say he was a popular city boy?
Copy !req
16. Why would one of those go out with my Mitsu?
Copy !req
17. Might be fun to fool around
with a country girl.
Copy !req
18. I'll dump her once I get bored.
Copy !req
19. Nao-chan.
Copy !req
20. What do you think of this?
Copy !req
21. Maybe I should let her go like that.
Copy !req
22. So dazzling
Copy !req
23. I find myself looking away
Copy !req
24. Unable to find the right words
Copy !req
25. Even a single word to say
Copy !req
26. In such a narrow world
Copy !req
27. Your vibrant laughter
Copy !req
28. Resonates so beautifully
Copy !req
29. And that's what saved me
Copy !req
30. If we relive this moment
Copy !req
31. In an unimaginable future
Copy !req
32. Even if we're lost, it's okay
Copy !req
33. We will be in it together
Copy !req
34. So dazzling
Copy !req
35. I find myself looking away
Copy !req
36. Unable to find the right words
Copy !req
37. Even a single word to say
Copy !req
38. I was entranced
Copy !req
39. By your lively figure
Copy !req
40. If the true nature of this blue warmth
Copy !req
41. Is love, then…
Copy !req
42. If the true nature of this blue warmth
Copy !req
43. Is love, then...
Copy !req
44. Do you know which class Shima Sousuke's in?
Copy !req
45. See you tomorrow.
Copy !req
46. Sorry, you two.
Copy !req
47. Ririka's a friend of mine,
and we kinda grew up together.
Copy !req
48. But she's a model and stuff,
Copy !req
49. so could you keep it a secret
that she was here?
Copy !req
50. Oh... Okay, got it.
Copy !req
51. Like hell you grew up together
and she's just a friend!
Copy !req
52. The Youngest HT
Cover Girl in History!

Copy !req
55. Saijou Ririka...
Copy !req
56. When did Saijou Ririka
debut? Learn about her
past and the scandal!
Copy !req
57. Huh, so she got her start in child acting.
Copy !req
58. Suspected of drinking alcohol in sixth grade?
Copy !req
59. Snapped back at haters and got canceled?!
Copy !req
60. Eww, talk about trashy.
Copy !req
61. But this explains why Shima-kun's
so chill around girls.
Copy !req
62. Outside of school, he's friends
with these glamorous people.
Copy !req
63. He's hanging with a girl
every boy would die for.
Copy !req
64. So he's just another clout chaser.
Copy !req
65. Man, that's such a letdown.

Copy !req
77. Morning.
Copy !req
78. Good morning, Shima-kun.
Copy !req
79. Oh, you're wearing Fumi-chan's pin.
Copy !req
80. I brought her with me.
Copy !req
81. I'm wearing something panda-themed, too.
Copy !req
82. Really? What?
Copy !req
83. Panda sleeves.
Copy !req
84. Chuffed
Copy !req
85. Anyway, let's get going.
Copy !req
86. Yep.
Copy !req
87. They're actually here.
Copy !req
88. God, what am I doing?
Copy !req
89. Are you Mitsumi's friend?
Copy !req
90. I-I-It's not what you're thinking!
Copy !req
91. I just happened to be
in the area for an exhibit!
Copy !req
92. Then I remembered they were
talking about meeting in Ueno today,
Copy !req
93. and would you believe it, there they were!
Copy !req
94. Hold up! He's hot!
Copy !req
95. Scary hot!
Copy !req
96. And who might you be?
Copy !req
97. Wait, what has Mitsu told
her friends about me?
Copy !req
98. Hello, I'm Mitsumi's uncle.
You can check my ID if you want.
Copy !req
99. Oh, hello.
Copy !req
100. Didn't know she had an uncle and an aunt.
Copy !req
101. Wow. I saw an actual panda, in the flesh.
Copy !req
102. Sure did. It was going to town
on that bamboo, huh?
Copy !req
103. I feel like I just met a celebrity!
Copy !req
104. I'm surprised we got so much
time to observe.
Copy !req
105. Yeah!
Copy !req
106. Where do you wanna go next?
Copy !req
107. Well...
Copy !req
108. We can check out the condors, and then...
Copy !req
109. Hot!
Copy !req
110. Why don't wander around a bit
and then cool off in the food court?
Copy !req
111. Good idea.
Copy !req
112. Cute!
Copy !req
113. Time to dig in!
Copy !req
114. Whoa, that's a big bite.
Copy !req
115. This is going distressingly well.
Copy !req
116. He's such a natural at taking the lead.
Copy !req
117. Is Shimasuke pretty popular—
no, the popular guy at school?
Copy !req
118. "Shimasuke"...
Copy !req
119. Yeah, that's about right.
Copy !req
120. What even is this situation?
Copy !req
121. Be honest with me. Why do you
think he came here with her?
Copy !req
122. Beats me.
Copy !req
123. It's hard to tell what he's thinking.
Copy !req
124. What?
Copy !req
125. Could he be playing with my Mitsu's heart?
Copy !req
126. He wouldn't do that.
Copy !req
127. Ever.
Copy !req
128. So you like Shima-kun, huh?
Copy !req
129. Li...?!
Copy !req
130. ...ke? I wouldn't go that far!
Copy !req
131. It's just my goal to get myself a hot-stuff
boyfriend while in high school!
Copy !req
132. This poor girl.
Copy !req
133. Monorail East Sta.
Copy !req
134. This is way too risky!
Copy !req
135. Shh.
Copy !req
136. Oh.
Copy !req
137. We're off and running.
Copy !req
138. This feels nice, doesn't it?
Copy !req
139. Yeah...
Copy !req
140. What do I do? That break
didn't cool me off at all.
Copy !req
141. I keep spacing out...
Copy !req
142. I guess the nerves aren't helping.
Copy !req
143. Mitsumi-chan.
Copy !req
144. Once we get off, let's hit up
the gift shop and call it a day, yeah?
Copy !req
145. But...
Copy !req
146. I was the one who invited you...
Copy !req
147. And I was so excited about today...
Copy !req
148. We can just come again.
Copy !req
149. Yeah.
Copy !req
150. I'm such an idiot.
Copy !req
151. So he's just another clout chaser.
Copy !req
152. I knew that wasn't true all along.
Copy !req
153. The one who wanted a boy
every girl would die for...
Copy !req
154. The real clout chaser...
Copy !req
155. was me.
Copy !req
156. Monorail West Sta.
Copy !req
157. You're right. Everyone at the zoo
in this heat is an idiot.
Copy !req
158. I've been eyeing this place nearby
that does mango shaved ice and douhua.
Copy !req
159. Want to join me?
Copy !req
160. Big sister's treat.
Copy !req
161. Y...
Copy !req
162. After all that walking,
the calories won't even count!
Copy !req
163. You're not her uncle... but her aunt?
Copy !req
164. Big sister!
Copy !req
165. This pouch is so cute!
Copy !req
166. Plus, it's got candies inside.
Copy !req
167. I'll get this for Maharu.
Copy !req
168. Kippei likes snakes, so I'll get him...
Copy !req
169. Not holding back, huh?
Copy !req
170. My aunt gave me some extra money for gifts.
Copy !req
171. Your family's pretty close, huh?
Copy !req
172. Yep!
Copy !req
173. Do you have any siblings?
Copy !req
174. Uh...
Copy !req
175. Yeah, a little brother.
Copy !req
176. How old?
Copy !req
177. He's three.
Copy !req
178. Aww, a baby!
Copy !req
179. Aren't you getting anything for him?
Copy !req
180. Hmm...
Copy !req
181. I dunno what he likes.
Copy !req
182. I bet he'll jump for joy anyway.
Copy !req
183. Thank you!
Copy !req
184. And this is from me.
Copy !req
185. What? Sorry. I didn't get you anything.
Copy !req
186. It's fine! They just had a great deal
on a two-pack, so don't worry about it!
Copy !req
187. Look!
Copy !req
188. Aren't these meant for couples?
Copy !req
189. Shall we head out?
Copy !req
190. Yeah.
Copy !req
191. Maybe I'll use it as a keychain.
Copy !req
192. Sounds good.
Copy !req
193. Kei-chan, clean up your toys.
Copy !req
194. 'Kay!
Copy !req
195. On second thought, do you want this?
Copy !req
196. I'm pretty sure my little brother's
been here already.
Copy !req
197. Why does that matter?
Copy !req
198. He'd be happy just because
it's coming from you.
Copy !req
199. Oh, you think?
Copy !req
200. Isn't that obvious?!
Copy !req
201. Yeah, you're right.
Copy !req
202. Next time, let's come when it's cooler.
Copy !req
203. Yeah, agreed.
Copy !req
204. Sweet Tooth Cafe
Douhua
Copy !req
205. Yum, so good!
Copy !req
206. I forgot to take a picture!
Copy !req
207. Oh, no! I wanted to post this on Pinsta, too!
Copy !req
208. Pinsta...
Copy !req
209. Oh?
Copy !req
210. Scene 08: Heat and Complications
Copy !req
211. Thanks for having us!
Copy !req
212. Thanks for having us...
Copy !req
213. Welcome!
Copy !req
214. We're having a girls' pajama party!
Copy !req
215. Sorry, some relatives are
crashing at my place...
Copy !req
216. Oh no...
Copy !req
217. Don't worry. Stuff happens.
Copy !req
218. Yuzu-chan's place became
unavailable at the last minute...
Copy !req
219. We only have one extra futon for guests,
Copy !req
220. but you kids are young, so squeeze in!
Copy !req
221. Thank you!
Copy !req
222. ...but Nao-chan gave us
permission to do it here instead.
Copy !req
223. Don't forget to tell them that
your aunt is biologically male.
Copy !req
224. It'd really hurt me
if that caused them to panic.
Copy !req
225. Got it.
Copy !req
226. Thank you all for being friends with Mitsumi!
Copy !req
227. Oh, thank you, Nao-san.
Copy !req
228. Don't mention it.
Copy !req
229. It must've been so hot outside.
Copy !req
230. Oh, no need to sit on the floor, dear.
Here, use this cushion.
Copy !req
231. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
232. Mitsu, there's pudding in the fridge.
Copy !req
233. Bring it out for everyone later.
Copy !req
234. Will do.
Copy !req
235. Okay, have fun!
Copy !req
236. Your aunt is so nice, Mitsumi!
Copy !req
237. She smelled great, too.
Copy !req
238. Yeah.
Copy !req
239. I know, right?
Copy !req
240. Nao-chan's a stylist.
Copy !req
241. No way! That's so cool!
Copy !req
242. Her mouth looks just like yours.
Copy !req
243. They're so sweet!
Copy !req
244. I'm so happy for you, Mitsu.
Copy !req
245. This translation doesn't make sense to me!
Copy !req
246. It's a special case, because it's an adverb.
Copy !req
247. It's a -ly, right?
Copy !req
248. A "ly"?
Copy !req
249. Yeah, a -ly.
Copy !req
250. We've made decent progress, huh?
Copy !req
251. Want to take a break?
Copy !req
252. I am done done.
Copy !req
253. Mika, your blouse is really cute.
Where'd you get it?
Copy !req
254. Thanks. It's just a basic ZU.
Copy !req
255. I didn't know they had stuff like that.
Copy !req
256. I wish I could wear lace.
Copy !req
257. You could wear anything, Yuzuki!
Copy !req
258. I've been told it doesn't fit my image.
Copy !req
259. Oh...
Copy !req
260. I saw something on Pinsta.
Copy !req
261. How about this? The color isn't too girly.
Copy !req
262. Oh, that could be cute! I'll give it
a like so I can check it later.
Copy !req
263. I'd love to wear chino pants like those, too.
Copy !req
264. Fashion talk...
Copy !req
265. I want to keep up!
Copy !req
266. Huh? You totally should!
Copy !req
267. Nah, beige really doesn't suit me.
Copy !req
268. Oh, so you're a blue base, Mika-chan?
Copy !req
269. Don't just randomly drop
fashion buzzwords on me!
Copy !req
270. You knew about that stuff, Mitsumi?
Copy !req
271. Nao-chan taught me.
Copy !req
272. Fashion Buzzwords that
even Mitsumi knows
Copy !req
273. Fashion buzzwords that
even Mitsumi kinda knows!
Copy !req
274. Blue Base
Copy !req
275. Yellow Base
Copy !req
276. Blue base, or a cool skin tone,
Copy !req
277. is blue-tinged skin that looks good
wearing pink, purple, and similar colors.
Copy !req
278. Yellow base, or a warm skin tone,
Copy !req
279. is golden-tinged skin that looks good
wearing orange, beige, and similar colors.
Copy !req
280. This concept can help you find
the right makeup or clothes for you!
Copy !req
281. By the way, I'm a yellow base.
Copy !req
282. Stop that!
Copy !req
283. Blueberries?
Copy !req
284. Blueberries?
Copy !req
285. That's so funny.
Copy !req
286. You're cute!
Copy !req
287. I'm so glad I decided to take
the high school entrance exams.
Copy !req
288. You went to a combined
middle and high school, right?
Copy !req
289. Oh, so you had to decide between
staying or applying elsewhere?
Copy !req
290. Yep.
Copy !req
291. Honestly, I wasn't having a good time
with friends in middle school.
Copy !req
292. I kept getting dragged
into relationship drama.
Copy !req
293. By the time I realized I wasn't vibing with
them, the groups were already formed.
Copy !req
294. I was trying so hard to fit in, I forgot
what I disliked about the situation.
Copy !req
295. I realized I never should
have put up with it.
Copy !req
296. So I decided to start over
and wear my heart on my sleeve.
Copy !req
297. I was so set on not letting anyone mess
with me that I came off as unapproachable.
Copy !req
298. Like, I seemed pretty nasty at first, no?
Copy !req
299. Prickly
Copy !req
300. So you had a high school rebranding.
Copy !req
301. I didn't go that far!
Copy !req
302. All I did was pierce my ears!
Copy !req
303. Once school started,
I realized I was trying too hard.
Copy !req
304. I was like, "Oh, this is fine?"
Copy !req
305. I've always wanted friends
I could speak from the heart with.
Copy !req
306. So I'm happy I met you guys.
Copy !req
307. I know what you mean... kind of.
Copy !req
308. Really? You too, Mika?
Copy !req
309. You didn't really have to
say all that, y'know?
Copy !req
310. You're making me blush.
Copy !req
311. Want a rice cracker?
Copy !req
312. Gimme.
Copy !req
313. But Yuzuki's friendly and beautiful.
Copy !req
314. Plus, she's smart.
Copy !req
315. And given she lived abroad,
Copy !req
316. her family must have a business
or manufacturing background.
Copy !req
317. She probably went to an international
school or something.
Copy !req
318. The kids in her school were likely
smart enough to see how special she was.
Copy !req
319. And I can see why some of them would
want to pick on her "just a little bit."
Copy !req
320. Is that a sign that I'm one of them, too?
Copy !req
321. Mukai.
Copy !req
322. Huh? You joined summer cram school, too?
Copy !req
323. Yeah. Not like I have
anything better to do at home.
Copy !req
324. Yeah, I guess his family situation
is kinda complicated.
Copy !req
325. Hey...
Copy !req
326. You came here for high school
entrance exams too, right?
Copy !req
327. Yep.
Copy !req
328. I knew it! You got into Tsubame West, right?
Copy !req
329. Someone from our middle school got in, too!
Copy !req
330. Wow, really?
Copy !req
331. Pisses me off, though...
Copy !req
332. These peanut-chocolate rice crackers are good, no?
Copy !req
333. Really? I'd rather eat
each of those separately.
Copy !req
334. It's an all-rounder that
combines sweet and salty.
Copy !req
335. I'll be heading out now.
Copy !req
336. Oh, okay.
Copy !req
337. I'm staying the night at
a friend's place after the exhibition.
Copy !req
338. Make yourselves curry for dinner.
Copy !req
339. Oh, but turn off the stove
and lock the doors before bed!
Copy !req
340. Okay. Thanks, Nao-chan.
Copy !req
341. Oh.
Copy !req
342. Are you good on time, Mika-chan?
Copy !req
343. Huh? Oh... Yeah.
Copy !req
344. I should head out now.
Copy !req
345. Oh, you're leaving?
Copy !req
346. Her family's going out for dinner tonight.
Copy !req
347. Oh... I forgot about that.
Copy !req
348. Time flies.
Copy !req
349. See you.
Copy !req
350. Bye!
Copy !req
351. Yeah, bye.
Copy !req
352. Let me guess.
Copy !req
353. There's no dinner tonight, is there?
Copy !req
354. Thought as much.
Copy !req
355. I mean, I know we'll end up
talking about relationships later.
Copy !req
356. It'd be awkward.
Copy !req
357. So, she doesn't want to hear
Mitsu talking about Shimasuke.
Copy !req
358. She is so in love.
Copy !req
359. It's just my goal to get myself a hot-stuff
boyfriend while in high school!
Copy !req
360. Why does she have to deny it like that?
Copy !req
361. A blouse released this year...
Copy !req
362. An outfit that screams
she keeps up with fashion.
Copy !req
363. And if she got into Tsubame West,
she must be a hard worker.
Copy !req
364. Yet she lacks confidence
and fears getting hurt.
Copy !req
365. That sounds awfully familiar.
Copy !req
366. Listen, Mika.
Copy !req
367. "Mika"?!
Copy !req
368. If there's even a tiny part of you
that wants to stay,
Copy !req
369. call Mitsu right now and tell her you got
the date for your family dinner wrong.
Copy !req
370. N-No! It's too late, and it's too cringe.
Copy !req
371. And what's wrong with that?
Copy !req
372. Having a little bit of a cringe side
will make you more endearing.
Copy !req
373. I don't know why you're
such a scared little mouse,
Copy !req
374. but the chance to make real friends
doesn't come around too often in life.
Copy !req
375. Wanna get something to eat?
Copy !req
376. Oh, sure. Let me call home.
Copy !req
377. Okay.
Copy !req
378. Hello? Hey, Mom?
Copy !req
379. My friend's asking if I can eat out with him.
Copy !req
380. Roger
Copy !req
381. Let Chris know, too
Copy !req
382. Gotcha
Copy !req
383. Shibuya. The usual place.
Copy !req
384. Yeah, so if dinner's not ready yet...
Copy !req
385. Sorry, Mukai. I can't after all.
Copy !req
386. Huh?
Copy !req
387. Hey!
Copy !req
388. Actually, Mom, I'll eat at home.
Copy !req
389. I'll eat like hell.
Copy !req
390. Heya.
Copy !req
391. Where're the others?
Copy !req
392. Didn't invite them.
Copy !req
393. Hey, we agreed not to meet up alone.
Copy !req
394. Drop it. Let's go.
Copy !req
395. Where are we going?
Copy !req
396. Nowhere specific. Just taking a stroll.
Copy !req
397. Ririka, you've been acting weird lately.
Copy !req
398. What'd you do today? Work?
Copy !req
399. Yeah. My summer break's packed with shoots.
Copy !req
400. I start at 5 AM tomorrow, too.
Copy !req
401. Yikes. We should just go home, then.
Copy !req
402. I've become an early riser myself.
Copy !req
403. Because you've been going
to school like a good boy?
Copy !req
404. Yeah, I guess.
Copy !req
405. That reminds me!
Copy !req
406. That bob-haired girl I saw in the
classroom is your favorite, isn't she?
Copy !req
407. "Favorite"? She's a friend of mine.
Copy !req
408. I knew it!
Copy !req
409. You've always taken a liking
to the circus acts.
Copy !req
410. Don't talk about my friend like that.
Copy !req
411. You're the one acting weird.
Copy !req
412. You think it's okay now that four years
have passed since the controversy?
Copy !req
413. Because I've made a comeback as a model?
Copy !req
414. Well, it's not okay.
Copy !req
415. My life will always be under a microscope.
Copy !req
416. Everything I do will be used against me.
Copy !req
417. All because I went with you that night.
Copy !req
418. So don't think you have any right to have
a fun little high school life of your own.
Copy !req
419. Sorry.
Copy !req
420. I'm going home. Walk me.
Copy !req
421. Hold my hand.
Copy !req
422. Huh?
Copy !req
423. Not like that!
Copy !req
424. Like you did when we were kids.
Copy !req
425. Should we flavor the meat first?
Copy !req
426. Don't ask me.
Copy !req
427. Wow!
Copy !req
428. That looks great!
Copy !req
429. Yum! So yummy!
Copy !req
430. Yeah, it's actually good.
Copy !req
431. Yeah.
Copy !req
432. No way!
Copy !req
433. Okay, breathe out.
Copy !req
434. Around the size of a 500 yen coin.
Copy !req
435. Ow, ow.
Copy !req
436. How big's a 500 yen coin, again?
Copy !req
437. Empty your mind and apply.
Copy !req
438. Eek!
Copy !req
439. A gentle breeze, the setting sun
Copy !req
440. Today was another good day
Copy !req
441. Forgetting all the plans I made
Copy !req
442. I'll walk to the next station over
Copy !req
443. The more I trip and fall
Copy !req
444. The better I get at picking myself back up
Copy !req
445. Through honest dialogue and heart-to-hearts
Copy !req
446. The warmth seeps into my soul
Copy !req
447. Humming as I take the roundabout way
Copy !req
448. My world is an unsolved mystery
Copy !req
449. Top speed, toes and heels, strides
Copy !req
450. Each one of us walks differently
Copy !req
451. All the same, we wave goodbye to dusk
Copy !req
452. As a new morning dawns
Copy !req
453. Wanting to protect this everyday life
Copy !req
454. With a hop, jump, and skip
Copy !req
455. See you tomorrow
Copy !req
