"ColAca?"

DISCOVERY! COLUMBUS ACADEMY

Yamada's on TV?

Every Tuesday at 7 p.m.

That's today!

DISCOVERY! COLUMBUS ACADEMY SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!

I was too late...

Huh? What are you watching?

What?

If you're not gonna watch, I'm turning it off!

I'm in love with Yamada.

But that's all.

I certainly don't want to be her boyfriend or go out with her.

Nothing has changed from how it's always been.

No...

If anything were to change...

YAMADA, HARA

I hate long-distance running.

I'm bad at it too, so let's run together.

Are you sure?

-Oh? This smells like... -Yeah.

I knew it.

But still...

I thought trash events like school festivals

and workplace tours were kind of okay,

but this is the one thing...

Oh no! As a man, I can't let Yamada beat me!

Wait...

You're fast!

I told you not to talk to me in front of others!

Did you?

Okay, I've gained some good distance...

My pace has mysteriously dropped...

Isn't that on backwards?

Ah, you're right!

Give me a sec!

My pace is dropping again...

Ah, jeez...

Huh? Why...?

Your right eye.

Your right eye... I've never seen it before.

Huh?

Can't... breathe...

We ended up coming in last.

Everyone's gone back already.

Bam!

Sorry for going on ahead.

It's fine, you should go at your own pace.

Wait no, you weren't going at your own pace at all!

Eh? Hara-san...

But you were amazing!

I couldn't catch up at all.

GRABBING HANDS FEMALE PSYCHOLOGY

No, wait, this is Yamada we're talking about!

That much is only normal.

Why am I getting worked up over nothing?

Eh?

Eh?!

If I had a bae, I'd wanna swap uniforms with him!

I'd show off his baggy jacket!

-Whoa, obnoxious much? -Yeah.

But you can't do that if you're in the same class.

There's zero chance I'd go out with any of the boys in our class.

Yeah.

Oh no!

If she doesn't notice, and they find out she's wearing my jacket...

Ugh, why are you wearing that gloomy jerk's jacket?!

Bet it stinks!

They'll look down on Yamada!

Fourth period class is about to begin.

If we can survive this and lunchtime, it'll be recess...

She put it on!

It has gotten a bit cold in here...

I should...

No!

If I knowingly put it on, I'll be just a perv.

Then for this problem... Adachi.

Huh? Ah, yes.

Oh no! The worst person to be seen by!

And he's mostly interested in her rack!

Ichikawa?!

Um...

I want to solve this problem!

For real?!

Ah, then Ichikawa.

Urgh, you can totally see it!

Can I get her to notice it somehow?

Notice it already!

Hey, what's the big deal?

Are you making a pose to say, "Leave this easy problem to me"?

-No... -You're so cool! Ichikawa-san!

No, unfortunately that's not correct.

I want to die so badly, just kill me...

But the real hell begins here!

Ah, I'm so hungry!

Don't leave your chest so open!

Here.

An extra-large serving?

Time to eat!

Ah, I'm stuffed.

You filled up on way too much rice!

My heart is about to give out!

Ichikawa.

NURSE'S OFFICE

My heart managed to survive.

I wonder when they switched places.

You're right.

I didn't notice at all!

My acting sucks!

Ichikawa, you had it off the whole time.

Weren't you cold?

No, not at all.

Not anymore.

ICHIKAWA

But how long did it take Yamada to notice?

There's some rice grains stuck on it.

Wanna measure each other?

Why?

Let's do it!

It's so stiff...

I'll use my hand.

If I stood up straight, I'd be taller...

My turn, then.

-I need a stand. -Rude!

Ow!

171.9... almost at 172.

Sheesh.

Then you go again.

I'll measure you properly this time.

No, I'm fine!

It's not fair if it's just me!

You're the one who wanted to measure each other!

You saw, didn't you?!

No, I didn't!

Your weight doesn't matter, does it?

So you did see it, then!

Did not!

Did, too!

I did, but I forgot it!

Liar! You definitely remember!

Nothing really did change.

After figuring out that I'm in love.

Guess that makes sense.

Since Yamada knows nothing about it.

Hey, did you hear?

-Yamada's gonna be in a movie! -What do we do?!

What, is that all?

I'm sure it's a garbage film with a limited release.

I can't believe Suga Naoki-kun is the star!

I'm so nervous!

No way!

Huh?! Even I recognize that name!

Moe-chan, it's got nothing to do with you.

Huh? We might get in contact!

Besides, the real news is that Fukuda Kenichi is directing!

It'll be playing nationwide!

Huh? The Cannes winner?!

Even I can tell.

This is a huge chance as an actress.

The first step to becoming a big-name actress...

Why doesn't she look very happy?

Ah, that must be it.

The difference between her, as she gradually moves up,

and the nobodies around her,

must be making her feel a bit lonely...

Yamada's too nice, after all.

Homeroom's about to begin!

Everyone take your seats!

Okay!

As I told you last week, we'll be changing seats today.

I've made lots, so everyone draw one in order, starting from the end row!

Changing seats...

A puzzle only God can solve.

Hurry it up.

Where did you end up?

Ah, we got split up.

Phew, what a relief.

What's that supposed to mean?

Now then, everyone grab your desk and get moving!

God...

God...

God...

God, that was close!

Hey there.

-Oh! -Hey...

We're next to each other!

-This guy! -Thank god!

Wait, maybe this was for the best.

I'm so glad.

Which means that next to me is...

It's Hara-san!

Yay!

This isn't too bad!

In fact, it's pretty great!

Or so I thought...

Come on!

Why are you moving?!

Such long eyelashes!

Huh?! I'm not looking!

You just happen to be in my sight line when I try and look at the blackboard!

Ah, shoot.

I forgot my Japanese textbook!

Here...

A textbook sharing event!

That's funny!

I remember seeing it in your desk...

Look!

This guy's been so pushy lately!

You sure do get along.

Still, this is a real problem.

As it stands, I can't see the blackboard at all.

Sorry!

It's fine... You can't see?

Ah, yeah...

Wanna copy my notes then?

-You should tell the teacher after class. -Yeah.

How compassionate you are, Hara-san...

It's fine if it's you, huh?

Eh?

CLASS 2-3

Yamada!

What?

Don't give me that.

Why won't you come here?

You come over here!

Who made you the queen?!

Did something happen?

Is it because she doesn't want to be in that movie?

Wait, for now, the blackboard comes first.

But she was self-conscious about her height...

I can't tell her she's so tall that she's blocking me.

Good thing Hara-san's next to you.

Huh?

I don't care...

She's so nice, and soft...

And cute...

Um... during class...

You're all I can see.

So I have trouble seeing the blackboard...

I went and told the teacher.

LIBRARY

I see.

You couldn't see the blackboard.

Well, we managed to find a solution.

Why did it end up this way?!

Putting aside the fact that it was the worst method possible.

I'm sorry.

Well, you also... um... have a lot going on.

A lot going on?

Um... like movies...

Ichikawa, you're interested in movies?!

She wants me to bring it up!

Oh yeah... I heard you're gonna be in one.

That's right!

Playing a tree?

Of course not!

I play the daughter of the detective who goes after the main character!

It's a named role and everything!

Oh, is that the extent of it?

She's in high school, and that detective dies halfway through...

Huh? She seems a lot happier than before.

Could it be because no one wanted to talk about Yamada's role?

I've got lines as well!

You're such a creep!

That's her catchphrase.

Oh...

Catchphrase?

I don't say it very often, so I'll need to practice.

You're such a creep!

Try saying it a little more coldly.

You're such a creep.

Yeah, just like that.

You're such a creep.

Even better.

You're such a creep.

You just keep on improving...

Wait.

We should do this somewhere a bit more secluded.

Don't you think this is a little too secluded?

Well... this is the only place.

But it's a little cramped in here for the two of us...

Um... when is that movie out?

It hasn't started shooting yet, so maybe the spring after next?

That sure is a long wait.

That's just how it is.

The spring after next...

GRADUATION

By then, will Yamada and I...

still be able to see each other?

Will you watch it?

I'm not sure.

What?!

But I'll do my best.

What's that mean?

I'll do my best... to watch it.

We're done!

What about practicing your lines?

I can't say it anymore.

Discovery! Columbus Academy!

It started...

Let's get started with Discovery! Columbus Academy!

-Huh? Where is she? -Here we have real-life students.

We'll be letting you hear first-hand what today's youth think!

There she is!

-Here's today's topic! -She's in a sailor uniform!

Now then, we're talking about shumai.

Maimai, do you like shumai?

I love it!

Just like my name!

That's not even a pun!

-Is that it? -Come on!

-Well, I guess with so many people... -Go easy on me!

Thanks. Then next up is Miku!

Is the apricot in bento really necessary?

What?! Sure it is.

They're focusing right on her!

-She's gonna say something! -And so, those were everyone's opinions!

It can't be...

-Ah, there she is again! -This is what real middle schoolers think!

I knew it... her part got cut.

Well, I'm sure it happens all the time.

What got captured is Yamada staring too hard...

Yamada laughing at a comedian's unfunny joke...

SOLVE THE SHUMAI BENTO PUZZLE!!

Yamada poking out of the overlay...

Well then, see you next week!

Yamada not getting a single line in the end.

And yet...

Why do I find myself a little relieved?

I'm a scumbag.

I'm sure Yamada must be feeling so hurt...

I'll try not to bring it up.

Did you see ColAca last night?!

I was on screen a lot!

-She's alright with that?! -You think so?

Yamada's a long way from being a big-name actress.

I could tell you tried.

Also, here.

What's this?

Suga Naoki-kun's autograph.

Don't forge his autograph!

A long, long way...

Seriously, this is so sloppy!

Why did you think this would fool us?
