Original subtitles

Huh? Where's everyone else?

You didn't tell the others?!

I thought they heard you!

Ah!

On the way back from our workplace tour,

we got separated from the rest of our group.

Sorry... I...

No, the next train will be here soon,

and it's not like we were in a hurry...

It's... not like we're lost...

Ah, stop grinning, idiot!

Now's not the time to be feeling lucky...

LOCAL - 6-CAR - HIYOSHI

The next one is in seven minutes, huh?

Let's sit down for now.

I'm the only one who sees this as a lucky break.

I'm sure she's ashamed to be seen with me.

Maybe that's why she's crying.

Hey, this isn't a zoo exhibit.

This makes it look like I'm the one who made her cry...

Well... maybe I am.

Well, a drink isn't going to hurt anyone.

Didn't work, huh?

Um... looking back at it, I'm the one who went to the bathroom...

If I had done a better job conspicuously announcing it to everyone...

I hereby pledge that I am about to go to the bathroom!

Announcing it...

Wait, no!

I don't know exactly how famous Yamada is from her modeling work.

But it could very well be that someone here recognizes her.

Musashi-Koyama.

We'll get separated again.

Hara-san's group got to go to Nagasaki Hut.

I'm so jealous.

Well... they might not have gotten to try food there...

Personally, I had a lot of fun at our tour as well...

Especially now.

Me too!

Do you think those two are gonna go out?

Who knows?

Going out with someone in your class takes guts.

I see...

Back in elementary school, I knew a couple who made it public.

Always holding hands...

Huh...

But I think it'd be more fun to keep it a secret.

Huh...

Ichikawa, what do you think?

Eh?

-Huh... I think... that's fine... -Senzoku station.

I'm not processing a single thing she said!

Spoiling her like that!

What a shame.

Chi... I'm sorry.

I should be the one apologizing!

Eh?

I wanted to stick to our schedule as group leader...

And I got too caught up in that...

and didn't pay attention to my surroundings.

I'm really sorry.

It's fine, everyone makes mistakes.

-Who are you to speak?! -Who are you to speak?!

Man, that workplace tour sure was a pain in the neck.

Asking rude questions,

getting separated because everyone went off on their own...

How absentminded can they all be?!

Kyo-chan, you said all this yesterday.

Yesterday, I was telling Mom!

I should get going.

Lately, it looks like you're having fun at school.

Having fun?

That can't be right.

I still haven't made any friends...

Because I'm in love with Yamada?

No way this depressing as hell guy would read a sparkly Shojo manga!

No, don't get carried away.

Deep down, they're just mocking me.

I'm the one who'll get hurt in the end.

Morning!

Hey, good morning!

Yamada, what are you doing?

Oh, nothing...

What are you, the gym teacher?

Is she waiting for someone?

Well, that's got nothing to do with me.

Good morning.

Yeah...

That was close. If you didn't have your bike, I'd have missed you.

Oh...

Um...

Here.

Eh?

I said I'd lend it to you.

Ah...

You don't want it?

She was serious?

I do.

But why now?

I'm leaving early today, so I can't visit the library.

Ah...

It's really good!

The main character is so brave.

A lot happens to her throughout the story, like her best friend dying,

but that stoic-looking boy on the back cover is actually really kind...

Did you just hit me with some massive spoilers?

Ah, well...

That's in like volume three, so it's pretty early on...

Okay, that's enough.

Make sure you read it!

Huh? Are you okay?

With what?

Wait, aren't you waiting for someone at the school gate?

Huh?

Yeah.

I see. Later...

LIBRARY

Because of her work, Yamada sometimes leaves early or takes days off.

Ah, you're sitting down today!

I thought you left early today.

Just stopping by.

That's weird.

When I asked you to sit down before...

No, I process what I'm reading better if I stand up...

That's what you said, right?

Shut up!

Ah! That's not KimiOct!

Eh?

I prefer to read manga at home...

Read it now.

This is a gory book...

Stop...

Sorry!

Well... sorry...

No, I'm sorry.

Ah... I should get going.

Sorry about that.

Um...

Eh?

Huh? Why did I stop her?

Uh... Um...

Are you coming to school tomorrow?

What the hell am I asking?

Yeah.

I'll be here.

I'll come to the library as well, absolutely.

In this world, nothing is absolute.

You sure are picky.

KIMIIRO OCTAVE

It seems that I'm having fun at school.

Kimiiro Octave...

I wonder how she reads it...

Like this?

Like this?

Like this!

Did you read it?

No, not yet.

I couldn't concentrate at all last night.

If you don't hurry up, I'll spoil it for you!

You already have quite a bit.

It's not like I can read it in the classroom...

Ichikawa.

What's your deal?

Talking to Yamada so nonchalantly.

Oh no!

Huh? We're classmates, you know.

Aren't you two a little too friendly?

That's not...

I'm finally gonna get bullied, huh?

Yamada...

Do you think she likes anyone?

Or well, more than that, she might have a boyfriend already.

Well, not that it matters to me!

Girl gossip?

Ichikawa, I figured you might know, since you get along with her.

Have you heard anything?

No...

I have heard that she doesn't have a boyfriend...

Well, whatever.

Don't tell anyone that I asked you this.

Sure...

How bold though, going after Yamada.

Maybe you're right... but you know...

You can't help who you love, isn't that right?

I suppose...

Shoot, how embarrassing!

Um... how long has it been?

I realized it just recently.

Just how did you...?

How, you ask? Let me see...

This is the embarrassing part...

I can't beat off to Yamada anymore.

I shouldn't have asked.

You know how they say you can't jerk off to someone you really love?

Turns out it's dead serious!

What?

No...

That's why...

Is that true?

-They call that the borderline of love! -Does that mean my love isn't real?

I'm just sexualizing her.

Hey, are you listening?

What do you like about her?

Huh? Are you blind, dude?

You mean her face?

What else could it be?

There's plenty of other things!

Also, she's got a killer bod!

In the end, it's about her looks!

She's got a great figure, but her legs!

They're slender, and those legs go on for days...

I'm... leaving now.

Eh?

Hey, you understand, right?

Don't tell anyone else.

What is this... irritation?

Even before this, he's said plenty of obscene things about her,

and every time, I know it's annoyed me slightly.

I think dirty things about her all the time as well.

But this irritation...

Eh? How do you know what they're saying?

Just off their vibes.

-Wow. -Well...

-This irritation... -It's just the vibe.

Is it my borderline of love?

-I can just read the vibe. -I'm not surprised.

Then a quiz.

What am I saying?

Hohefuhorohohefu.

Eh?

-What did she say? -What's this?

Hohefuhorohefu.

Correct!

Wait, what the hell is that?

-This is what she was talking about? -Seems like it.

See?

See? Don't give me that!

In the end, it doesn't change the fact

that I think dirty things about her as well.

So does that mean I don't love Yamada, then?

What do we do...?

NO FOOD OR DRINKS IN THE LIBRARY LIBRARY COMMITTEE

I can't eat snacks anymore...

That's quite the serious face to make over snacks.

This notice wasn't here yesterday.

Now that you mention it, you're right.

But no food or drinks in the library should be obvious...

That's the strange part.

If it's so obvious, why did a notice just go up?

It's not like anyone's been bringing food or drinks...

Come on, no way!

A Yamada joke!

What I mean is, do you think someone knows I've been eating food in here?

That may be...

So, maybe someone told on you?

The ones who know are Kobayashi, Sekine, Yoshida, Hara-san, Kanzaki, Kanaoya.

Let's not accuse anyone!

There are other people who visit the library too.

What a softie.

Let's ask the teacher in charge of the library.

Why that notice got put up.

That reminds me,

there was that time a snack wrapper was found in the trash can.

Could that be the cause?

That doesn't make sense either.

After all, I really didn't throw away any snacks in the library trash can...

Then...

Could there be... a different true culprit?

Come on, no way!

This time, she wasn't joking!

Ah, that notice?

It seemed strange, since it's so obvious...

I found this on the library floor.

Well, it may just be candy, but if I let this pass, there'll be no end to it.

Even if it may be obvious, there are kids who need it spelled out for them.

Hey... you're not gonna say something?

Say something, please!

Could it be...

Is today the last day that Yamada comes to the library?

That's right.

If she can't eat snacks anymore, there's no reason for her to come.

Wait, what does that matter to me?

Yamada just talks to me because I happen to be in the library...

Eh?

I knew it wasn't allowed from the start,

so even with that notice, it doesn't change anything.

Seriously, what's her deal?

I knew there were risks in eating it to begin with.

Don't try and make it sound cool...

If that teacher sees you, it'll mean...

Even so...

THE MURDER ENCYCLOPEDIA

I...

can't help it...

I really do...

love her!

That...

That was close...

Was she creeped out by that?

Sorry...

But it'd mean more than confiscation, you could have been banned...

It melted?

You should wash your hands.

Go away.

Um...

From now on, you should hold back on the snacks.

Seriously.

Yeah...

LIBRARY

This is for the best. It's over now.

All of it...

I came to do my homework...

I see...

I really did decide to hold back on the snacks.

To two-thirds as much.

LIBRARY

The amount is not the issue.

In the end, Yamada hasn't changed at all.

But who was it that threw out the snack wrapper in the trash can?

Wasn't it you, Ichikawa?

Huh?!

I mean, a while back I...

No, I... didn't throw that out.

Huh? Why not?

Um...

It was garbage.

Well...

You took it home with you?

Why?
