1. Huh?
Copy !req
2. Wait, are you saying you
have a thing for Misuzu?
Copy !req
3. Hell no.
Copy !req
4. You know we went out for a
while in middle school, right?
Copy !req
5. Huh?
Copy !req
6. Why didn't they tell me about this before?
Copy !req
7. Aren't they my best friends?
Copy !req
8. "Best Bud's Secret."
Copy !req
9. Hey, Misuzu!
Copy !req
10. What's this about you going out
with Jun in middle school?
Copy !req
11. He finally let it slip, did he?
Copy !req
12. Why would you do that?
Copy !req
13. You know how I feel about Jun, don't you?
Copy !req
14. I didn't back then.
Copy !req
15. You didn't tell me you liked Junichiro until
right before we graduated middle school.
Copy !req
16. S-Still! If we were best friends,
you could've told me you had a boyfriend!
Copy !req
17. Both Junichiro and I wanted
to forget about it.
Copy !req
18. Besides, we didn't even
have time to tell you.
Copy !req
19. Huh?
Copy !req
20. Because we were only a couple for three days.
Copy !req
21. Three days?
Copy !req
22. Now that you know, I might
as well tell you everything.
Copy !req
23. It was in the spring of our
second year of middle school.
Copy !req
24. He just asked me out of nowhere...
Copy !req
25. Gundo, would you...
maybe try going out with me?
Copy !req
26. That sounds like fun.
Copy !req
27. Even back then, a lot of girls
liked him for some reason,
Copy !req
28. so I kinda wanted to show him off.
Copy !req
29. Th-That was all it took?
Copy !req
30. Call it youthful indiscretion, I guess.
Copy !req
31. I started to feel like I was
reaching my limit the next day.
Copy !req
32. The next day?
Copy !req
33. It was the day of our first date.
Copy !req
34. He invited me to go cycling with him,
Copy !req
35. so I agreed without giving
it much thought, and...
Copy !req
36. So... how far are we going?
Copy !req
37. We're almost there!
Copy !req
38. We repeated that exchange for two hours
while traveling forty kilometers one way.
Copy !req
39. Well? Awesome view, right?
Copy !req
40. View?
Copy !req
41. Are you a total moron?
Copy !req
42. Huh?
Copy !req
43. He dragged me all around again the next day.
Copy !req
44. I lost five kilograms in two days.
Copy !req
45. Uh... What was so bad about that?
Copy !req
46. You two are insane.
Copy !req
47. I had hit my limit both
physically and mentally,
Copy !req
48. so after the break, I approached
him to call it quits.
Copy !req
49. But then he said...
Copy !req
50. Sorry, Misuzu.
Copy !req
51. Huh?
Copy !req
52. I know this sounds weird when I'm
the one who asked you out, but...
Copy !req
53. I feel like maybe we're not
a good match after all.
Copy !req
54. So let's just give up on going out, okay?
Copy !req
55. He... beat me to it!
Copy !req
56. He put a permanent black mark on my life.
Copy !req
57. I'll never forgive him for it.
Copy !req
58. A lot of things suddenly make sense now.
Copy !req
59. So... you don't have any feelings
for Jun anymore, right?
Copy !req
60. Oh, I have feelings for him.
And all of them are hate.
Copy !req
61. I-I see...
Copy !req
62. A-Also, when you guys were
going out, did you... er, you know...
Copy !req
63. k-k-k-k...
Copy !req
64. kiss or anything?
Copy !req
65. The fact that we didn't share any mucosal
contact is our one silver lining.
Copy !req
66. Don't describe it as mucosal!
Copy !req
67. Well, if I had to say how far...
Copy !req
68. We called each other by our given names
Copy !req
69. and held hands while walking
to and from school.
Copy !req
70. But nothing major, really.
Copy !req
71. Feel better?
Copy !req
72. Yeah, I guess...
Copy !req
73. But I don't feel like I've been
discussing a relationship at all.
Copy !req
74. You told Tomo about us, didn't you?
Copy !req
75. I did plan to tell her eventually.
Copy !req
76. Yeah, yeah. Sorry.
Copy !req
77. It's fine.
Copy !req
78. Anyway, I didn't notice since I was
trying my hardest to forget it,
Copy !req
79. but you avoided Tomo for pretty much the
entire first year of middle school, didn't you?
Copy !req
80. I'll spare you all my questions about why.
Copy !req
81. But the time when you two went
back to being best friends
Copy !req
82. happened to be right when
you and I broke up.
Copy !req
83. Was that a coincidence?
Copy !req
84. I was entirely to blame for
everything that happened.
Copy !req
85. If you're mad about it,
it's not too late to hit me.
Copy !req
86. So there really was something going on.
Copy !req
87. Hit me all you want!
Copy !req
88. There's really nothing between
you and Misuzu anymore, right?
Copy !req
89. Really nothing?
Copy !req
90. I told you there's nothing.
How many times are you gonna ask?
Copy !req
91. Well, I was the only one
who didn't know about it!
Copy !req
92. I'm sorry, okay?
Copy !req
93. Okay, then...
Copy !req
94. Is there anyone you like now?
Copy !req
95. Huh? Of course not.
Copy !req
96. Really?
Copy !req
97. Yes, really. What's with you?
Copy !req
98. Oh, okay! As long as there isn't anyone!
Copy !req
99. There isn't!
Copy !req
100. Huh?
Copy !req
101. O-Okay...
Copy !req
102. I get it.
Copy !req
103. Morning, Aizawa-san!
Copy !req
104. Oh, hey, Misaki-senpai.
Copy !req
105. Misaki?
Copy !req
106. Wait, he's a guy.
Copy !req
107. Oh, yeah! Senpai, this here is Jun!
Copy !req
108. Oh!
Copy !req
109. Hi! I'm Misaki Kosuke, second-year.
Copy !req
110. Nice to—
Copy !req
111. What'd you do that for?
Copy !req
112. Sorry. Reflex.
Copy !req
113. That wasn't a reflex!
Copy !req
114. I'm Kubota Junichiro. Sorry for what I did.
Copy !req
115. I-It's okay. No hard feelings here.
Copy !req
116. I hear you do karate?
Copy !req
117. Huh? Yeah.
Copy !req
118. Let's have a match sometime, then.
Copy !req
119. I'll crush you with every
ounce of strength I have.
Copy !req
120. Cru...
Copy !req
121. I'm so sorry, Senpai!
I'll give him a good talking-to!
Copy !req
122. That hurts, Tomo...
Copy !req
123. Can't breathe...
Copy !req
124. R-Really, it's okay. You can let him go.
Copy !req
125. Tomo... Hey...
Copy !req
126. Why are you so close to the
captain of the boys' club?
Copy !req
127. Aren't you in the girls' club?
Copy !req
128. Oh, I didn't tell you?
Copy !req
129. Stuff happened, and I'm
in the boys' club now.
Copy !req
130. What a disappointment.
Copy !req
131. The heir to the Aizawa style,
learning karate in school...
Copy !req
132. And what about you, Jun-bo?
Copy !req
133. I'll be sticking with you, sir!
Copy !req
134. Well said!
Copy !req
135. Wh-What's wrong?
Copy !req
136. Tomo, let's head home.
Copy !req
137. Sorry, I promised to get tea with
Misuzu and Carol after school.
Copy !req
138. Oh, come on! Don't pout!
Copy !req
139. I'm not pouting.
Copy !req
140. Yes, you are!
Copy !req
141. Tomorrow, okay? I'll walk
home with you tomorrow.
Copy !req
142. Tomorrow, then. You'd better stick to that.
Copy !req
143. Sure!
Copy !req
144. They're not dating, right?
Copy !req
145. That's right. Ridiculous, aren't they?
Copy !req
146. I... I can't believe I ran into him here!
Copy !req
147. Senpai's scared of me now
'cause you threatened him!
Copy !req
148. Next time you see him,
smooth it out! Got it?
Copy !req
149. So you live this way, huh?
Copy !req
150. Yeah. I usually ride my bike,
Copy !req
151. but it's in for repairs right now.
Copy !req
152. And that's why you're taking
the bus today, huh?
Copy !req
153. Yeah.
Copy !req
154. Why are you standing so far away?
Copy !req
155. I-It's just your imagination!
Copy !req
156. Y-You don't want to join
the karate club, Jun-kun?
Copy !req
157. No.
Copy !req
158. I see... S-Sorry for asking.
Copy !req
159. I don't think I could beat Tomo, anyway.
Copy !req
160. That's another reason I don't
want to join the club.
Copy !req
161. I don't want to lose.
Copy !req
162. But Aizawa-san was saying there
was no way she could beat you.
Copy !req
163. That's just at her dad's dojo.
Copy !req
164. When there are actual rules
to follow, I don't stand a chance.
Copy !req
165. I can manage to beat her in a fight, though.
Copy !req
166. Fight? You mean you and
Aizawa-san just... punch each other?
Copy !req
167. Yeah, sometimes.
Copy !req
168. You can't do that!
Copy !req
169. Aizawa-san is a girl, you know!
Copy !req
170. It's not like I want to hurt Tomo.
Copy !req
171. She's the problem.
Copy !req
172. Whenever we fight,
she comes after me for real.
Copy !req
173. Well... I can see why you would feel
like your life was in danger, but...
Copy !req
174. If I can beat her in a contest of strength,
it's only because I'm a guy.
Copy !req
175. In a sport with fixed rules,
I'm still the challenger.
Copy !req
176. I see. She is pretty incredible, isn't she?
Copy !req
177. Too incredible.
Copy !req
178. I still wish I could be like her.
Copy !req
179. As I am now...
Copy !req
180. I see. He looks up to
Aizawa-san, just like me.
Copy !req
181. That makes me feel a sort
of kinship with him.
Copy !req
182. Oh, I get the feeling I just said a
lot of weird stuff without thinking.
Copy !req
183. If you go blabbing to Tomo...
Copy !req
184. I-I won't! I swear I won't!
Copy !req
185. Never mind! He's still scary!
Copy !req
186. I heard you took the same
bus home as Jun yesterday.
Copy !req
187. He didn't threaten you again, did he?
Copy !req
188. No, it was fine.
Copy !req
189. We talked a bit, and he
was actually pretty nice.
Copy !req
190. Yes! He really is!
Copy !req
191. I'm so glad you get it!
Copy !req
192. He started acting weirdly intimidating
around our second year of middle school,
Copy !req
193. and he couldn't make any friends.
Copy !req
194. I tried introducing him to
some guys I knew, but...
Copy !req
195. They were all too scared
of him to be his friend.
Copy !req
196. I knew you'd understand him, though!
Copy !req
197. You're not like all those wusses!
Copy !req
198. I can't tell her that I'm
actually terrified of him.
Copy !req
199. Jun is a super nice guy,
Copy !req
200. but he doesn't see me as a girl at all.
Copy !req
201. Would it kill him to be
a little considerate?
Copy !req
202. Huh?
Copy !req
203. Actually, I think he probably knows.
Copy !req
204. I mean, he—
Copy !req
205. Senpai!
Copy !req
206. Looks like you two are
having fun. Can I join in?
Copy !req
207. S-Sorry...
Copy !req
208. I'm sorry!
Copy !req
209. They're such good friends now!
Copy !req
210. "Let's Go on a Date!"
Copy !req
211. So, be honest... What do
you think of Aizawa Tomo?
Copy !req
212. L-Like, whatever.
Copy !req
213. I mean, she's a girl.
She even, like, wears a skirt.
Copy !req
214. I know, right? That skirt is just wrong!
Copy !req
215. No matter how boyish she looks...
Copy !req
216. Hey!
Copy !req
217. It's Mifune and Ogawa!
Copy !req
218. What a coincidence!
You guys come here a lot, too?
Copy !req
219. Sh...
Copy !req
220. She's wearing pants!
Copy !req
221. She's wearing, like, pants!
Copy !req
222. That's just wrong!
Copy !req
223. So, like, not fair...
Copy !req
224. What's wrong?
Copy !req
225. Those two should've joined us.
Copy !req
226. Why'd they just leave?
Copy !req
227. Because you're dressed like that.
Copy !req
228. More importantly, have you hung
out with Junichiro recently?
Copy !req
229. You haven't, have you?
Copy !req
230. We've barely hung out since we
started high school, actually.
Copy !req
231. He invites me out now and then,
but I get weirdly self-conscious.
Copy !req
232. You pick the most inconvenient
times to be all girly.
Copy !req
233. If you put him off too much,
Copy !req
234. he might find someone else
to spend his time with.
Copy !req
235. I don't want that!
Copy !req
236. Then you should be the one
to invite him out next time.
Copy !req
237. But not to the bowling alley or
batting center like you always do.
Copy !req
238. Wh-What's wrong with those?
Copy !req
239. Everything.
Copy !req
240. Why don't you act like students and go
shopping for clothes or do karaoke for once?
Copy !req
241. Me and... Jun?
Copy !req
242. That feels so unnatural.
Copy !req
243. Try inviting him yourself
over our next break.
Copy !req
244. You've kept him waiting
in place for so long,
Copy !req
245. I bet he'll come running
to you wagging his tail.
Copy !req
246. C'mon, he's not a dog.
Copy !req
247. Hey, Jun...
Copy !req
248. Over our next break...
if you're free, I mean...
Copy !req
249. Do you want to, um...
go hang out with me somewhere?
Copy !req
250. For real?
Copy !req
251. Huh?
Copy !req
252. Oh, man, it's been forever!
Copy !req
253. Where? Where are we gonna go?
Copy !req
254. Well, Tomo? Where are we gonna go?
Copy !req
255. H-He really is just a big dog!
Copy !req
256. You get it, right?
Copy !req
257. You can't think of it as just hanging out.
Copy !req
258. You're going on a date.
Copy !req
259. R-Right!
Copy !req
260. So...
Copy !req
261. Can I go, too?
Copy !req
262. Just kidding!
Copy !req
263. We'll go buy you some clothes after school.
Copy !req
264. You only own boys' clothes, right?
Copy !req
265. Huh? What I have should be fine.
Copy !req
266. Absolutely not.
Copy !req
267. Hey, Tomo-chan.
Copy !req
268. Saying you'll go on a date in
boys' clothes is a joke, right?
Copy !req
269. Fine. I'll go buy something.
Copy !req
270. What kind of outfit should we get?
Copy !req
271. Let's see... Maybe we should
start with something boyish?
Copy !req
272. Really? Not something girlish?
Copy !req
273. If we do that,
Copy !req
274. she'll be too uncomfortable
to think about the date.
Copy !req
275. Besides, he'd probably take off
running the moment he saw her.
Copy !req
276. So taking her from "a boy at first glance"
Copy !req
277. to "a girl with some boyish
features" is the way to go.
Copy !req
278. That sounds like a pain.
Copy !req
279. You got that right.
Copy !req
280. What kinds of shoes do you have, again?
Copy !req
281. Well, uh...
Copy !req
282. All I have are sneakers.
Copy !req
283. A red pair and a white pair...
Copy !req
284. I think white would be better.
Copy !req
285. I agree.
Copy !req
286. How about a simple, boyish outfit
that's sporty but a little girlish?
Copy !req
287. Let's go with that.
Copy !req
288. What do you think?
Copy !req
289. Huh? Oh, uh, let's do that, then.
Copy !req
290. Oh! How about denim gaucho pants?
Copy !req
291. A white pullover would
probably go best with that.
Copy !req
292. I-Is fashion this hard to keep up with?
Copy !req
293. Thanks for helping me out, both of you.
Copy !req
294. I'll do something to thank you.
Copy !req
295. You don't need to worry about that.
Copy !req
296. I only did what I could as your best friend.
Copy !req
297. We're friends, aren't we?
Copy !req
298. You guys...
Copy !req
299. Just tell us every last detail of
everything that happens on your date,
Copy !req
300. and we'll call it even.
Copy !req
301. Looking forward to it!
Copy !req
302. R-Right...
Copy !req
303. I think they just formed a
powerful new tag team.
Copy !req
304. Sorry, Jun. Were you waiting long?
Copy !req
305. What's wrong?
Copy !req
306. Okay, well, shall we go?
Copy !req
307. Y-Yeah.
Copy !req
308. Man, it's been ages
Copy !req
309. since the last time I came here with you!
Copy !req
310. Shoot...
Copy !req
311. This is just turning out like the usual.
Copy !req
312. Wait, isn't this the spot where the
pitches can hit 160 kilometers per hour?
Copy !req
313. Yeah. That's about the speed
I've been hitting lately.
Copy !req
314. We were both hitting at 120 kilometers
per hour not long ago...
Copy !req
315. There's no way I can hit 160.
Copy !req
316. Try hitting one, Tomo.
Copy !req
317. Nice batting!
Copy !req
318. We haven't been here in ages, either.
Copy !req
319. We're just following the
same plan we used to!
Copy !req
320. Dude!
Copy !req
321. That one's 16 pounds!
Copy !req
322. Yeah. This is what I've been using lately.
Copy !req
323. He was using a lighter ball before.
Copy !req
324. I can't even lift one that heavy.
Copy !req
325. Wanna try this one out?
Copy !req
326. Strike!
Copy !req
327. No! I gotta change something up!
Copy !req
328. H-Hey, you wanna do karaoke
or something next?
Copy !req
329. Sure, why not?
Copy !req
330. I guess not, huh? But, y'know, every once in a—
Copy !req
331. Wait, what?
Copy !req
332. Huh, so this is how it works?
Copy !req
333. I thought a place like this
would be... louder and busier.
Copy !req
334. This room is so small and dark.
Copy !req
335. Go on. Sit next to him.
Copy !req
336. Get all up against him!
Copy !req
337. What's wrong?
Copy !req
338. Aren't you gonna sing?
Copy !req
339. Sing? No way in hell I'm gonna sing!
Copy !req
340. Why did we come here, then?
Copy !req
341. W-Well, why did you agree
to come here so quickly?
Copy !req
342. You never cared about karaoke before.
Copy !req
343. 'Cause you said you wanted to go.
Copy !req
344. Huh?
Copy !req
345. Ever since we were kids, you only
ever wanted to do reckless stuff.
Copy !req
346. Frankly, I just let you coerce
me into going along at first,
Copy !req
347. but I was scared out of my mind.
Copy !req
348. You were?
Copy !req
349. But when I just tried doing what
you asked, it was always fun.
Copy !req
350. That's why you're the best!
Copy !req
351. That's right... Jun just came
along today to have fun.
Copy !req
352. Yet I've been...
Copy !req
353. I can't keep going like this!
Copy !req
354. I gotta do something,
Copy !req
355. Oh, gonna sing something?
Copy !req
356. or this whole day will be ruined!
Copy !req
357. I can't sit around being embarrassed!
Copy !req
358. Roll, roll, roll, went the acorn...
Copy !req
359. Right into the pond! Oh, no!
Copy !req
360. Along came a loach, saying, "Hello there!"
Copy !req
361. "Come play with me, little one!"
Copy !req
362. Huh?
Copy !req
363. You're up next!
Copy !req
364. Don't laugh!
Copy !req
365. Sorry... That just wasn't
what I expected at all.
Copy !req
366. But seriously, a children's song?
Copy !req
367. You really are the best!
Copy !req
368. Sh-Shut up, you jerk!
Copy !req
369. So when Junichiro wasn't willing to sing,
Copy !req
370. you just sang children's songs
for three hours and went home?
Copy !req
371. I was so embarrassed, I thought I'd die!
Copy !req
372. He even shot a video of me!
Copy !req
373. It sounds like it went great, though.
Copy !req
374. I'm not so sure. Sounds like the
wrong way to have fun to me.
Copy !req
375. I guess I should delete the video.
Copy !req
376. Junichiro.
Copy !req
377. Huh?
Copy !req
378. Show us the video.
Copy !req
379. You guys!
Copy !req
380. "Come play with me, little one!"
Copy !req
381. That whole day, there was...
Copy !req
382. Hey! Why are you filming me?
Copy !req
