The masterpiece of love and tears Love Phantom is now in theaters.

LOVE PHANTOM IN THEATERS NOW

Proudly ranking as the current number one film for couples!

I cried so much!

No kidding! She was bawling through the final scene.

My, it was simply wonderful.

Inguar Josephlin sure knows how to make a movie.

And the heroine, Amanda O'Neill, was gorgeous.

Oh...

Do you want to go on an... after-school date?

Huh?

Amane! Mornin'!

Good morning.

Morning.

Um, listen...

Huh? Huh?

Yesterday, uh, you said something about going on a date, right?

I was just wondering... What movie did you see?

ZOMBIES VS. SHARK

Zombies vs. Shark.

Zombies vs. Shark?!

Yeah, it was pretty good.

How the heck is that a date movie?

Well, I guess it wasn't much of a date after all.

That's good to know.

Wait! Why am I relieved?!

It's not like it has anything to do with—

Oh, we also hit a photo booth.

See, see?! I knew it! They did do something date-y!

What if they posed with their arms linked, or worse...?

Here we go.

ZOMBIES VS. SHARK

Zombies vs. Shark!

I can't believe you guys.

Turned out real nice, right?

Ijichi-san, you dropped a photo.

Wait...

Who was that?!

GALS CAN'T BE KIND TO OTAKU?!

FOURTH HOUR "LET'S GO TO KARAOKE"

Well, I gotta hit the can! Laters!

I-Ijichi-san!

Oh...

Th-The way she's acting... Don't tell me!

Was that her boyfriend?

SPINNING SPINNING

She said she wasn't interested in love,

but she actually has a man?

Except she's been doing date stuff with me! Is that cool?!

Ijichi's got an older brother...

Oh, then that must be who it was!

But I've never seen that guy before.

I know it wasn't her dad.

Whoa!

An older boyfriend's no big deal,

but he seemed, like, a lot older.

Um, if she's got a sugar daddy...

A s-sugar— I find it hard to believe she's doing something like that.

That's exactly why I'm so worried!

There's gotta be a reason she was so quick to hide it.

But is it really our place to say anything?

If that's the case, then we have to.

You're both very dear friends to me,

and when my friends are in trouble, I want to help.

Mm-hmm!

COMMITTEE TO PROTECT IJICHI!

WE'RE ON YOUR SIDE

We need to have Ijichi's back!

Oh, jeez.

Sorry, I should have said something.

That guy in the photo, well...

He's my oldest brother.

I've always been his little baby sister,

but I can see how this looks bad...

Th-Thank goodness!

Wait, you're cool with that?

How many brothers do you have anyway, Ijichi-san?

Well, there's five of us.

The oldest is 25 and the youngest is 7.

An 18-year gap?

I see.

Hey, Amane! We've got classroom duty.

Let's go see the teacher.

Sorry. Be right there.

Hey, listen, Ijichi...

Hmm?

If you're ever in trouble, talk to us.

You're really important to me too.

Okay, thanks.

Back at you, Amane.

Wow, Amane's so cool!

And I could almost fall for you, Otaku-kun.

What in the world are you saying?!

Still...

It sure is great to have friends you can be honest with.

There he goes dropping one-liners like that again.

THE TOUGHEST HIBIKI, KOTOKO, & KAKERU

Otagal.

So, as the ball sports tournament is tomorrow,

make sure you double-check which team you'll be playing on.

BASEBALL: TAKUYA SEO PING-PONG: KOTOKO IJICHI

Man, what a bummer.

I really suck at ball sports.

I'm bad at sports period.

Then I guess it's finally my time to shine.

Amane-san?

You don't need to show off with us.

Otaku-kun, do you take me for a klutz or something?

Well, I guess you're in for a surprise tomorrow during girls' basketball.

Come watch me play.

Yeah!

Insane! You see that first-year?

You don't know who Kei Amane is?

Nice one, Amane!

Let's destroy them!

I had no idea she was so good.

Good job, Amane!

Do it! And wow, she's so popular!

Knock 'em dead, Amane-sama!

Great work! We're in the lead!

Yeah, thanks.

Hey, did you know that Kei Amane made nationals in middle school?

What? Wow!

Back then, the called her "Iron Mask."

She never cracked a smile.

No matter the play, she'd stay stone-faced!

I bet she's thrilled on the inside, though.

Well, Amane-san does usually seem kind of aloof.

And when she's this good, people really will get the wrong idea about her.

Go for it!

Kick their butts!

It's game time, Amane.

Oh, right.

Do it!

Go for it!

Um, Amane-san!

Go for it!

I-Iron Mask smiled?!

She's so cute!

I'm in love!

She just smiled at me!

She was smiling at me, dummy!

I've got to show them what I'm made of.

I'm not as smart as Ijichi.

Or as charming.

I need to show off my good side.

I've gotta do this!

And then maybe Otaku-kun will finally...

Wait.

Why am I thinking about Otaku-kun?

No, I'm good.

I just want to get back at him.

I lost to him in our studies,

so I'll get back at him in sports.

It's not like I have...

feelings for him or anything!

Wow! Nice one, Amane!

We're gonna take the win!

You were totally in the zone!

Wow, Amane.

It's so obvious you love...

What?!

N-No way! I mean, I don't hate him, but that doesn't mean...

...basketball!

Um...

Right, basketball. Yeah, uh, I guess I love it.

I knew it! You should join the basketball team.

With you, we could make it all the way!

Yeah, we totally could!

AFTERNOON, GYM: PING-PONG AFTERNOON, FIELD: BASEBALL

BASEBALL

AFTERNOON, GYM: PING-PONG/VOLLEYBALL AFTERNOON, FIELD: BASEBALL

What if I'm so bad that I ruin the game for everybody?

I really suck at ball sports.

I wonder how Ijichi-san is doing.

There!

Bring it on!

Ha!

Uh...

Seriously? How even?

Wow, she really is bad at ball sports.

Why are there so many people watching ping-pong this year?

Right? There's usually no one here.

There are lots more guys in the crowd than there were at girls' basketball.

That must mean...

Hyah!

Whoa!

Yeah, I knew it.

Come on, damn it.

But besides that...

This isn't over yet! I'm just getting warmed up!

Since she's bad at this, I thought she'd hate it.

All right! Their batter's freezing up!

Strike! Batter out!

Yes! Way to go!

Even though I'm bad at sports, I've gotta try too.

Strike! Batter out!

All right!

Yeah, I still suck.

Ugh...

Nice batting!

You didn't give up and took some great swings.

It's all good, man.

You've actually got some balls, Seo.

You almost had it!

You'll hit it next time!

Um... Thanks a bunch.

Their pitcher's on the baseball team.

No big deal if we lose.

Let's just have fun with it.

R-Right.

Hey, look!

It's first-years Amane and Ijichi.

The two of them together are too hot!

Are they here to cheer for someone?

They're getting more attention than the players.

They must be here to see me.

Otaku-kun's back was all, like, sproing!

Yeah, but you could tell he was trying his best.

You talk to him already?

Nah, I will later.

Thank you very much!

A post-game party?

Yeah. With all-you-can-eat yakiniku.

The girls' and boys' volleyball and basketball teams'll be there,

plus the boys' soccer team.

That's like a huge swarm of all the cool kids.

Yeah, and too many boys.

I think I'd rather pass.

You can't! The girls' basketball team said they wanted you to come!

Um, I appreciate the invitation,

but I have a prior engagement.

I'm actually going to karaoke with the guys from the baseball team.

Oh! Oh!

They said I could sing anime songs.

It's the first time anyone other than you guys has invited me to something.

Congrats, Otaku-kun!

I'm so happy that you're starting to make more friends!

Don't blow your chance, okay?

W-Well, I don't know that we'll actually end up becoming friends.

Why are you both looking at me like that?!

Still, must be nice... You're gonna sing Glittermon, right?

I think I'd have more fun there.

Huh? That's weird.

You'd never want to go to karaoke with only boys.

Is this because...

It's not! I've just never sung Glittermon songs at karaoke before!

Oh! Then, listen, the three of us should go do karaoke soon!

Just the three of us?

Yeah! And, hey, it's almost summer break,

so we should hit the beach and festivals and stuff too!

Great idea. There's somewhere I've been wanting to go.

For real? Then let's do it! Summer break, huh?

I spent most of last summer at home.

Hey. Hey.

Listen, Otaku-kun. Listen, Otaku-kun.

Were you even paying attention?

Clear your calendar for us, okay?

Were you imagining us in swimsuits just now?

N-No, I wouldn't do that!

I guess we've got finals to worry about first anyway.

Ack! Ack!

RAMEN AFTER KARAOKE

Otagal.

CLOSING CEREMONY

Amane, wanna go somewhere?

Kotoko, you coming to the restaurant?

Sorry, gotta pass.

Next time, okay?

We've got other plans today.

Time to sing!

When did we agree to do this?

We all said we wanted to go soon.

But you didn't say anything about doing it today!

I really should apologize to you both.

What for?

I feel bad for making you both hang out just with me.

There you go saying weird stuff again.

I'm here because I want to hang out with you. Same for Ijichi.

Yeah, yeah. I'll catch up with the other kids some other time.

So loosen up, and let's have some fun!

I suppose you're right.

I was looking forward to this too.

I, Takuya Seo, shall enjoy myself to the utmost today!

Whoa! Yeah, that's the spirit!

All righty, Otaku-kun.

Whoa!

Okay, you first. Okay, you first.

Oh. M-Maybe we should give him some space.

You think so?

Hey, what if he's actually a great singer?

You gonna fall for him?

Don't be ridiculous!

W-Well then, forgive the audacity, but I would like to sing now.

Yeah!

About time!

But she's right. What if he belts out a great love ballad?

What if he takes us by surprise and doesn't do an anime song?

SMILE, JUMP! GLITTERY MONPETS!

Happy, glittery, holding hands together!

Happy, smiley, everyone!

Feel the energy bubbling up inside you

with a big bright magic smile!

There's nothing left to be afraid of!

All of the stars are glittering

with the magic of a big smile!

Our future is so bright, everyone, let's jump!

Now I've really done it!

I got way too into it!

I've exposed my bad introvert habits!

Just when we were starting to become good friends, too!

Hey, Otaku-kun... Hey, Otaku-kun...

That was awesome! I totally love that song!

You were on fire! That was real cool!

I just wish you'd told me first.

I would have wanted to sing it with you.

Then why don't you sing it with me?

Huh? Huh?

SMILE, JUMP! GLITTERY MONPETS!

You can sing it?! You know it?!

Whoa, settle down.

Yeah, I memorized the lyrics.

Sublime! Sublime!

Now let's turn up the heat!

Yeah! Yeah!

L-Let's take a break.

Yeah.

Hmm...

What's wrong?

I was just thinking you look a lot like Micchi, the idol singer in Glittermon.

Let's do this, Sachiko!

Micchi?

Totally! I always thought so too.

I know, right?

You know what? I'll always,

always be right by your side!

Micchi has that one great scene...

Otaku-kun.

"I'm always by your side."

That's not quite it.

Well? Did I nail it?

No, you flopped.

If you're not serious, never do that again.

Tough crowd!

Excuse me a minute,

but I need a drink.

Oh, Ijichi-san, would you like a refill?

Tankies!

What would you like?

I'll have whatever you're having.

Okay.

This is so fun!

I had a blast and all with the baseball guys,

but it's a different experience with these two.

Huh?

Uh...

Wait.

Which one of these was mine again?

I'm pretty sure it was this one!

I'm pretty sure, but...

I should go get new straws!

Welcome back!

Oh!

Thanks a ton.

Hey, quit staring, Otaku-kun.

Wait, did you secretly pour coffee into it or something?!

You sure?

A-Actually...

An indirect kiss?

Y-Yes.

Who the heck cares?

We're not middle schoolers or anything.

I-I guess you're right.

But I'm pretty sure you got the right one.

Welcome back.

What are you singing next, Otaku-kun?

Well, let's see.

Maybe I'll do the Glittermon counting song...

That one's so cool!

The lyrics at the start are fast, so it's really tough.

Yeah, but I can sing it fine.

Can you really?

It never bothered me before...

IDOL IJICCHI

Otagal.

Wow, I'm all sung out.

And summer break starts tomorrow! I'm so stoked!

What do you want to do?

Oh, that's right.

There's a day in mid-August I want you to keep free.

Okay!

Oh, hey! I wanted to invite you to something first!

What?

A seaside barbecue!

My oldest brother puts on an Ijichi family barbecue every year.

It's always just my oldest brother and the two little ones,

so you should fit right in.

That sounds awesome! Perfect for summer.

You're coming too, Otaku-kun.

Are you sure?

If it is a family gathering, maybe I shouldn't intrude.

Of course I'm sure! Beside, my little brothers would love to see you.

Hey, you should bring Sayu-chan too!

Really? I think she'd love that.

Actually, Sayu would love to see you too, Otaku-kun.

All right!

To be honest, I am extremely interested in attending!

Thank you for the invitation!

Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo!

I've never made summer break plans with friends before.

This is going to be a great summer.

Whaddya think, Otaku-kun?

You like our swimsuits?

GALS CAN'T BE KIND TO OTAKU?!

LET'S FIND SOME FRIENDS!
