I'm home.

Welcome home. Give me your lunch box.

-Okay. -Yeah.

-Thanks for lunch. -Yeah.

Why do you have such a thing?

-That's... -This is

not the sort of thing that a 17-year-old should have.

As I thought, you have a boyfriend, don't you?

It's that boy who caused the commotion.

-Commotion? -Streaming a video at school.

There's a rumor going around the school

that I am gay or bisexual...

You're seeing that boy.

-So what if I am? -Don't talk to me like that.

It's nothing to do with you.

Sakura!

Why did you drop it anyway?

Dropping a condom

-in front of your mother... -It's awful.

That would not go down well.

That's putting it mildly.

She won't allow it.

Won't allow what?

My relationship with Yu...

-She'll make us split up! -Why?

Once she saw the condom, it was already too late.

She also doesn't seem to approve of me going out with Yu.

Because she knew about Yu's sexuality?

She's the type of parent who could never accept that.

But surely,

if you can explain it to her properly, she will be okay with it.

We're talking about my mother.

She wouldn't even listen and definitely wouldn't understand.

I can never go home.

Sakura. You have a call from your mother.

How does she know Sakura is here?

She's probably calling everyone.

Could you please tell her I'm not here?

Well, I'm afraid...

I already said you were here.

In that case, please tell her I don't want to speak to her.

-Well, but... -Please.

Understood.

I am really sorry to have bothered you at such a late hour.

Thank you. Goodbye.

-Hi. -Were you sleeping?

No, what's up?

Nothing. I was just wondering how you were.

I'm fine. We saw each other earlier today.

Yeah, we did.

But your friends said

you were feeling down, so I should call you.

Those two.

So what's up anyway?

It's not a big deal.

What is it?

My mom found it.

When you say "it", you mean the condom?

Yeah.

Then you argued about it?

More than an argument...

-I just left. -You left home?

Where are you now?

At Tsumugi's place.

Shall I go and apologize?

No, really! It's fine.

Sorry, there's nothing for you to worry about.

Bye.

Thanks for calling.

Are you not going home again tonight?

You can stay at ours if you like,

but as time goes on it'll just be harder to go home.

I know that, but...

But... what should I do?

I don't know.

Isn't that...

No way!

She's come to take you home, right?

You're kidding me.

-What are you going to do? -No idea.

If you do nothing, she'll come to the classroom.

No way! If I see her it's over.

What are you going to do then?

How should I know?

YUNA

Yuna?

-Hello. -Sakura, it's really bad.

-Your mother is... -I know.

So I have to hide from her.

That won't work.

Your mom is here and...

What?

Sakura! This way.

-Mom! What are you doing? -Sakura.

What did you say to Yu?

Why are you at school?

I can't believe you!

You forgot something.

-There you go. -Huh?

Excuse me.

Have a nice day!

She said something to you, right?

She didn't say much.

She asked if I was your boyfriend...

-Yeah. -And I said that I was.

Is that all?

What's all this about?

Please tell Asahi I will be waiting after school.

It was my idea that we should talk.

What?

If she was angry because she found the condom

then I'm responsible as well.

She's not the sort of person that will understand that sort of thing.

If you don't want to go, I'll go on my own.

What?

See you later.

Energy and all those muscular adaptations

that result in working.

Yoshimatsu, please read this.

Okay.

What am I going to do?

Trust Asahi to take a different approach.

You have no option but to go, right?

It's impossible.

Yu has no idea what my mom is like.

She's definitely going to try and split us up.

Sakura!

I'm going.

What are you going to do?

If things get bad you can come to ours again.

If you don't want to go, I'll go on ahead.

SEINO

Are you nervous?

Of course I am.

How can you be so relaxed?

Well, all I am going to do is state the facts.

I...

didn't tell my mom that I had a boyfriend.

Yeah.

But now she knows.

-And that I am seeing you. -Yeah.

It's possible that my mom

will say things that will hurt your feelings.

Don't worry about me.

I'm home.

Well,

you're earlier than I expected.

Welcome.

Thank you for having me.

Please come in.

Here you go.

I received these myself as a gift, but please have one if you would like.

Thank you very much.

Sorry to make you come all of this way.

Not at all.

Yesterday, I heard that Sakura had left home

and I felt that I bore some responsibility for that too.

I'm sorry to have caused you concern.

I'm sorry, Mom.

-I wanted to explain to you... -Sakura!

What a nice boy.

-What? -Coming to meet me

and talking to me properly about things.

I'm really glad that you have found

such a good, sincere young man.

So, you don't mind us seeing each other?

Of course not!

Why would you think I would object?

I don't know.

I just thought you wouldn't allow it.

Why?

It seems you know about his live stream

and I thought you might have some concerns about his sexuality.

I'm not worried about that at all.

It's just...

Your relationship needs to be one that's befitting

of high school students.

Huh?

I don't think it's appropriate for you

to be carrying that sort of thing around.

If your relationship is a wholesome one,

then I have no objections at all.

Asahi,

my daughter is still only 17.

Please act in her best interests.

Yes.

-Sorry about that. -No, its fine.

At least she didn't object to us seeing each other.

Sakura!

I don't want to force things.

If your mother thinks like that

there's no need for us to rush into anything.

See you at school then.

Bye.

Bye.

Yes?

-Do you have a minute? -Of course.

What is it?

I...

I wanted to talk to you properly

about sex.

I know what you said earlier,

but I think not doing it for that reason is a bit strange.

I feel like I would just be

running away from you.

Why can't I carry a condom with me?

Why is it wrong to have sex?

Do you think I'm a child just because I'm only 17?

Is it related to age?

If you think it's wrong,

let's talk about it.

Doing that kind of thing comes with responsibility.

You may not enjoy the experience, and...

it's possible that you might get pregnant!

You need to understand all these things before you start doing it.

That's why I was carrying it around.

That condom...

was a keepsake I bought with Yu

after we talked properly together about contraception and STDs.

So that we would be ready when that time came.

We...

didn't plan on having sex

without thinking about things and being completely clueless.

Yu always

treats me really well.

He puts things like this that are difficult to talk about

into words and discusses them.

Just now he said that if you would not allow it,

he didn't want to pressure me.

It's because he cares for me and values me so much

that I want to have sex with him.

After understanding the various risks

and about contraception.

Mom,

will you still say it's wrong?

Mom...

This...

When I was about your age I couldn't speak, Mom...

That's your grandmother...

about love and relationships at all.

Of course the same went for sex.

I felt that I couldn't

discuss those things at all.

I had nobody to talk to

and it made me incredibly anxious.

So I decided that I would not make my own child

go through the same thing.

But in the end,

I've done the same thing.

I'm sorry.

No.

I'm sorry too.

I just assumed that you wouldn't listen to what I had to say.

I think...

I just wanted you to stay

a child forever.

But...

you're already 17, aren't you?

This...

was the keepsake for the two of you.

Can you promise me one thing?

If something bad happens or you're in trouble,

always discuss it with me.

If there's something you don't understand,

don't hold back.

I...

won't run away anymore.

Thank you.

No.

Thank you.

-It turned out really well in the end. -Yeah.

It's really great that now

you'll be able to discuss those things. I have never done so.

I didn't think the day would come when I'd be able to.

Maybe I'll try dropping a condom in front of my mom too!

That way of finding out is dangerous.

-For your mom's heart. -You're probably right.

The thing is

Yu is coming over to our place this Saturday.

To meet your mother again?

No, it's a day when my mom won't be there.

What?

What?

So it's finally time?

I'm not sure how it'll turn out.

No way!

I talked about it a lot with Yu after that.

Really?

I don't think you have to worry about Asahi.

That's right. He won't care even if you wear unfashionable pants.

I'm not wearing pants like that.

I'll avoid messaging you Saturday.

Me too.

I HAVE LEFT SOME CHEESECAKE IN THE FRIDGE. ENJOY IT TOGETHER!

It feels weird.

Huh?

Having you in my room.

Really?

Yeah.

Are you nervous?

Of course I am.

It's the first time I've had a boy in my room.

Really.

I think I'll have some cake.

No. It's nothing.

What?

-I said it's nothing. -Tell me.

I already brushed my teeth and...

Don't laugh at me.

I'll go and brush them again.

Don't worry about that.

If there's something you don't like,

tell me to stop at any time.

Yeah.

You too.

Okay.

Have you seen this?

-What's that? -I've seen that.

Who is it?

It's Papa Peas. It's so funny.

They set people up too.

They also have a tapioca stream too.

Really?

Look at the time! I need to go.

-Takahiro? -Yeah.

He's finally all fixed up so we're going out on a date.

-Really. -Yeah.

It's nearly time for my movie so I need to go too.

-Kota? -Yeah.

-Let's go then. -Yeah!

I'll just move this.

What kind of movie are you going to see?

-A zombie movie. -What?

-Your type then, Tsumugi. -Sounds good. I want to watch it too.

-What are you doing, Yuna? -I want to eat strawberry candy.

That's so cute.

-Excuse me. -Yeah.

Can you take a picture of us please?

-Of course. -Thank you.

Okay!

-They said they will. -Thank you.

-Not at all. -Thanks.

-Okay. I'm going to take it. -Okay.

Say "cheese".

Is it okay?

-Thank you. -It looks good.

-Thank you. -No problem.

Are you going to have a concert?

That's right. So we were practicing for it.

-Right. -Mari and Ryu?

Good luck!

Thank you.

Good luck!

Thank you.

-What a cute couple. -Right?

He was cool too.

The guy?

Again?

Seeing people around me,

I panicked and thought I needed to grow up quickly.

17,3 years old.

Say "cheese".

-How is it? -Super cute.

-Me, you mean? -Yeah.

But the timing is different for everyone.

Sorry to keep you.

-You're late! -Sorry.

I didn't wait at all, actually.

This is the movie we are watching today.

-Is it going to be interesting? -I'm sure it is.

Anyway, it's the one that you wanted to see.

People have all kinds of relationships.

There's no real standard for what is normal.

-Yu! -Hi!

What are you reading?

It goes into detail about dragonfly reproduction. It's really interesting.

-Is it really interesting? -Yeah.

I wonder.

For that reason there's no reason to fit in with others.

Oh, yeah, it seems Ms. Shirayama

has voluntarily started consulting on sexual matters

to stop people from getting hurt.

Good afternoon.

What are you looking at?

Contraceptive rings.

I didn't know there were such things.

-I didn't either. -Right.

Learning about sexuality

is learning how to keep yourself

and people important to you safe.

In other words...

that means growing up just a little bit.
