What? What is it? What's wrong?

Nothing , Let's go home.

Let's go home, Setoyama .

What are you doing?

Let's go.

Yeah , I saw him Iooking at us.

Oh , I didn't notice it at all .

Erino, bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Hey, what do you thin k of Setoyama?

"What do I think?"

If. . . just an if.

If Setoyama confessed to you , would you go out with him?

Huh?

An "if" corner.

What the heck is that?

I'm saying , "What if?"

H mm ...

No, I won't.

I get that he's popular, but he seems off-putting towards girls,

like he's basically cold to them .

I'm not interested in that.

Huh? What?

Hu? What? What?

What? Wait a m inute...

That Setoyama. . .to me?

I m possible. Huh? What does it mean?

A mistake? It must be a mistake, right?

"I Iike you! -Setoyama."

[ Setoyama ]

Thank you.

But l'm sorry.

I don't know much about you, Setoyama.

I Iike you , Setoyama. Please go out with me .

I can't, there's someone I Iike.

I'm sorry.

I like you , Setoyama .

Please go out with me .

I can't, there's someone I like.

I'm sorry.

Right? Isn't Setoyama so cool?

Who is this girl that Setoyama likes?

I wanna be the girl that Setoyama likes!

And so, and so here's the problem ...

Next class is math . Let's move to the next classroom .

What?! Wait, please continue it.

- I'II tell you the rest Iater. - You promise?

By the way, Erino,

I heard you won a speech contest. - Really?

I was interviewed and all that.

- That's amazing ! - Not at all .

Okay, let's go through it one by one.

Let's start with an easy one.

2 to the power 2/3 times 2 to the power 2/4

divided by 2 to the power of 6/5.

This problem involves the formula we just went over...

lf you don't know much about me, then l want you to get to know me.

Please go out with me.

Who in here wants to answer it?

What?!

Oh Kuroda, how would you approach it using this formula?

Please go out with me.

I can't think of anything right now...

You can't right now...

What happened to you earlier?

Did something happen?

I was a bit lost in thought...

Oh , I'II go tidy up your stuff.

Good luck with the broadcast today.

Thank you !

It's time for Mom's lunch .

Food , food !

What? Why? Why?

Why now of all times is he asking, "Please go out with me "?

What's going on ?

Why me ?

[ Broadcast Club Request Box ]

Sorry it's so sudden.

For the longest time, l've been curįous about you.

I think you're so cool for being yourself.

At least let us start off as friends.

I can't give up just because you don't know about me.

I want you to get to know me.

♪ As soon as I realįze it,

♪ it's already started, huh ?

If we're starting out as friends, then yeah.

But I don't like to be gossiped about,

so can we start with letters at first?

You're in a good mood!

It's nothing .

You idiot. Hey, stop, stop.

- Whoa ! - I'm sorry!

U m . . . sorry.

Oh . . . well then ...

0kay! l look forward getting to know you!

I want you to get to know me through this notebook.

And when we're done with this notebook,

I will once again confess to you, Matsumoto.

Matsumoto...

♪ Sometimes you are staring

Good morning , everyone.

I'm Matsumoto, the student council president.

Today, the student council would like to share with everyone the issues we faced

during the 1st semester and our goals for the future .

First, to address the issues in the 1st semester,

such as im proving students' commuting manners to and from school ,

and the troubles the students have faced ,

we have set u p a school commuting manners week to ensure that all students...

I'm sorry, there was a misunderstanding.

I am not Erino Matsumoto.

So l will be returning your notebook as well.

Are you okay?

U h . . . hey...

Yes?

You're friends with Matsumoto, right?

Yes, I am .

Well ...

U m . . . did Matsumoto...

not say anything . . . about me?

No, I won't.

I get that he's popular, but he seems off-putting towards gįrls,

like he's basically cold to them.

I'm not interested in that.

Yes.

I see ...

And you didn't hear anything?

About a notebook.

Notebook...

Oh , no, uh ...

You see...

I mean ...

Maybe ...

she'll get back to you soon .

Is that so?

Oh , what a relief!

I have to write something for now.

I know it took so long to get back to you ,

and I'm sorry.

I know it took so long to get back to you, and l'm sorry.

I haven't had a chance to pass the notebook.

I know I'll get caught for this lie someday.

Thank goodness! l was worried I might have said something weird!

By the way, why the request box?

Can 't those in the broadcast club see įt?

My friend who handles the requests said,

"Don 't worry, only l can access it!" so she lets me use it.

So that's how it was! l am grateful to your friend!

I want you to continue telling me more about you.

Then, let me first introduce myself.

For now, l'm Jun Setoyama, born October 3,

Libra, blood type B.

Bye-bye.

Thanks for the self introduction.

I am Erino Matsumoto, born on April 1 6th, and my blood type is O.

The ones l love are FC Tokyo and Maximum The Hormone.

What? The Hormone?

The Hormone are so cool, right!

Oh ...

l hear that band is really cool!

I might try reąuesting them next time.

It would be great if The Hormone gets played at lunch!

But my younger sister complaįns "they're too loud".

Lately, l've been interested in the cake shop that opened in front of the station.

The place is always full of girls that it's hard for me to go alone.

Also, for some reason, Nakayama Kinni-kun really resonate with me.

Ready? Power.

- What do you think? - H m m ...

What is this?

You have a little sister, right? You should go and eat cake with her.

I hope l can go there with you someday, Matsumoto!

Nozom i .

I'II be there in 1 0 m inutes, so wait for me at ou r usual spot!

Oh , got it.

Long time no see ...

It's been a while.

I'm surprised we rarely run into each other.

That's right...

Listen .

Yeah?

I don't wan na grad uate while things stay Iike th is...

Can't we talk about Iots of things again?

As seniors and jun iors.

Oh , never mind . Don't worry about it.

See you around .

Guys, keep the party going .

Oh , it would be nice if Matsumoto could come, too.

Right?

Man , I'm nervous.

Say, Ku roda ,

you're the one playing strange songs during Iu nchtime, right?

H uh ...

Ah . . . yes, I'm a member of the broadcast club...

Was that thing you played the other day one of your hobbies?

- It was a req uest, right? - That was horrible!

You were really into it.

No, that was seriously too aggressive.

You r friend requested it, right?

H uh?

You r friend requested it, d idn't she?

Oh , there are times when it's Iike that.

I Iike that kind of m usic.

If Setoyama Iikes it, then I'II Iisten to it too!

Then I'II sing it too!

Oh . . . u h , I forgot.

Is this Yano guy you r boyfriend?

Oh . . . before...

Yano, the third year?

Yeah , yeah , that charming , wh isper-voiced hottie.

Nozomi came here Iooking to meet someone new.

Oh , then I wou Id Iike to nominate myself!

I'm gonna sing a song .

Who put on "Rolling Acorn"?

"Rolling Acorn"!

You've got to be kidd ing me, Yoneda !

What about my turn?

Are you always Iike that?

That was Matsumoto's request, wasn't it?

Oh . . . u m ...

When they were talking about your friend's favorite music Iike that,

you just Iaughed it off.

Aren't you Matsumoto's friend?

Well , um ...

AIso, you've been dodging everything they've said ,

and even though you don't want to talk, seeing you Iaugh

just irritates me.

Why don't you say something?

Don't you have you r own opinion?

Nozomi?

- Yeah? - What's the matter?

Oh , I don't know where the toilet is.

Oh , it's over there.

Oh , right. Thanks.

L'II do that. What drink would you Iike?

- You decide. - Okay, okay.

Guys, I got us extended !

Yay! AII right!

- Sorry, I have to go. - Oh , yeah . Okay.

I'm going home, too.

H uh , Setoyama , you're Ieaving?

We shouldn't have insisted you come along when you're busy.

No, I haven't had a good time in a while.

Oh . Bye.

- Take care! - Bye-bye. Take care.

Why are you way over there?

Well ...

Maybe because my Iegs are too short.

Listen ,

I was out of Iine earlier.

You're the one who Iets her use that request box,

right, Ku roda?

Yes.

So then ...

you know that I . . . Iike Matsu moto, right?

Yeah . . . I do.

You've been so helpfu I to us,

and I said someth ing harsh .

Kuroda , you were dodging it on pu rpose, weren't you?

You know, I tend to speak my m ind right away.

Thin king about it, it makes me feel Iike a jerk...

I'm sorry.

No.

Even so, you don't express your opinion .

It's good to have motivation .

Motivation?

That's right, motivation .

H uh? Hey, it's not funny.

What the heck...

I somehow Iose my com posu re when l'm talking to you .

I'm sorry.

Than k you .

That's amazing .

I was in soccer club. . . but l don't play anymore.

Oh ...

Tell me, Kuroda, are you not interested in others?

H uh?

Is that why you keep giving vague replies?

That's not true.

Don't most people ask, "Why did you quit?"

Well , um ...

Knowing you ,

I'm sure you thought it through before you made your decision ...

If you put it Iike that, it sou nds Iike a big deal .

Sorry.

H uh ...

l have a Iittle sister. She's in the third grade.

Yeah .

I Iost my mom when I was Iittle,

and Iately my grand ma's not been able to get around as well .

So I have to take care of things around the house. . . that's all .

I wanted to keep going , but there's nothing l can do about it.

Yes, you can .

What?

It may not be possible now,

but there will come a day when it will be .

Are you ...

Ah . . . perhaps you could think of it that way.

It Iooks delicious.

It Iooks nice.

It's nice. It Iooks so good .

- Does it really Iook good? - You dam n right it is.

- I Iike it. - Okay?

Excellent. Let me just post it.

"#AfterSchoolSweets" Okay.

[ Career Path Suey ]

Have you already decided on your career path?

Yeah . I'II go with my first choice, for now.

And what would that be?

Since I'm interested in Iaw, maybe a college with a strong focus on that.

You've already thought that far ahead .

And you , Nozom i?

I'm still undecided .

- I know, right? - Yeah .

I nstead of that, I want a boyfriend .

When it gets cold , don't you feel Ionely by you rself?

The guy from CIass B confessed to you before, right?

I'm not Iooking for just anyone.

Is there someone? Who is it?

And what about you , Erino? You have a boyfriend?

H mm ...

Well , it's not that l don't want one,

but I prefer someone who isn't a bother.

Right now, I'm focusing on my stud ies.

Oh . . . I see.

Everyone in my class is so excited about winning!!

It's nįce that everyone is working toward one goal!

Hey, stop it! What are you ...

Oh , Yuko!

- Hey! - Oh , Nozomi .

Oh? Where's Erino?

She's got student council today.

Hey, Ish ii , hurry up!

Yeah , Erino is so pretty.

You know,

I've Iiked Yoneda since jun ior high .

H u h? !

Oh , don't tell Erino, okay?

is that you don't Iie about how you really feel .

M iku , that's enough , okay?

- Okay. - Good .

Than k you .

Ms. Nozom i and Big brother, you guys Iook great!

H uh?

Enjoy yourselves.

Is that okay? I don't want to m islead her.

Well , I don't m ind .

That reminds me, are you gonna go to that an nou nce school?

It's not for me.

Don't give up before you even try.

I Iike you r broadcast show.

Come here for a second .

Try shooting it.

- Why? - J ust do it.

L'm really bad at it.

- I know. - What?

I saw you at basketball practice.

Can I put it here?

Yes.

Use the spring in your knees

to pu II you r u pper body up.

You're putting too much force.

And ...

at about this angle...

and . . finally, with your wrist.

Give me that.

Shape you r hands Iike a rice ball ...

And ju m p.

You r wrist.

Like a rice ball ...

Oh , that's good .

Oh , that was close.

- My knee. . . - Bend you r knees as far as they will go.

Ku roda .

H m?

I really resisted quitting soccer.

I got into a huge fight with my dad ...

and my grandma defended me. . . with that body.

Even M iku was considerate of me.

So I finally gave u p.

But. . . sometimes I wonder.

"Why do I have to put up with th is?"

[ I don 't want to ąuit. l don 't want to give up. ]

But that day...

when you said to me, "I can do it again ,"

I felt so m uch better.

[ Thanks for today! l understand ąuite a lot. Next time! ]

[That's great. Feel free to contact me anytime ]

[ Matsumoto, ltll come to support you. . . ]

This cu rve

approaches the x-axis as close as possible,

but never intersects it.

Are you busy lately?

You haven 't been writing in the notebook like you used to.

L'm a little worried.

It's all right.

Just a little busy...

l'm sorry.

Oh , Erino!

- It's Setoyama! - What?!

What's going on?

Setoyama -kyun said , "Let's go to CIass A."

H uh? No, I'm just wondering if I can borrow you r world h istory book.

Sure, you can borrow m ine.

Here.

- Thank you . - Than--

Thanks.

That's right, we're playing soccer at the ball game ,

and my su per play--

What are you guys talking?

Yu ko, don't interrupt my time with Erino.

Ugh , gross! Get out! Get out!

You idiot.

Hey, hey, hey, Setoyama came to borrow a textbook from Erino.

AII the way from CIass E.

It's frustrating , but they Iook good together!

Ah , cool !

They're too beautiful .

- They're perfect, right? - They are.

Yano...

Can we talk for a second?

The other day, you were with someone...

are you ...

going out with him?

No, I'm not.

We're just. . . friends.

I see ...

J ust friends.

Listen ,

[ Erino Matsumoto ]

Good morning .

- Yesterday, you said-- - Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Who was that guy this morning? You r boyfriend?

H uh?

You were talking to someone from N ishi-H igh , right?

Oh , he initiated the talk, so we just casually chatted .

But you were in a really good mood .

Yeah , that!

He d id ask me "please go out with me."

- What?! - What are you gonna do?

He's a nice guy, and he doesn't Iike anyone else,

so l don't mind going out with him .

For real?

There might be someone nearby

who cares more about you .

What?

H u h? You mean Yoneda?

No, it's not. I just...

What? You know something?

You said you'd help me, right?

Was that a Iie?

No, it's not a Iie!

You're the worst!

Hold on . What are you talking about?

Erino.

You and Yoneda have gotten close Iately, right?

H uh? It's nothing . lt's normal .

What "normal"? Aren't you casual with the boys at N ishi-H igh too?

What are you saying?

I don't Iike you d irecting that jealousy at me.

I don't even Iike Yoneda .

How would I know that? !

- Yuko. . . - Liar, be quiet!

Look, no matter who Iikes who,

you have no business with it

and I'm saying it's pointless to worry about that.

Stop taking it out on people.

You are always right.

You're right...

and insensitive.

- Hey! - Hey...

Did something happen?

I went to the Iibrary, but you weren't there, so I went Iooking for you .

Oh , the plan ...

Wanna go to the Iibrary? Or here would be fine.

Yes. . . you're right...

AII right!

I can't wait to practice.

My friends got into a fight...

Not you?

Yeah .

It all started with me.

Friends getting jealous,

not being able to tell the truth ...

and in the end because l'm indecisive...

What if you just tell them honestly?

When I th ink I have to say something ,

I get so flustered that I can't say anything at all .

Then . . . just Iet it out.

What?

I don't know what's going on ,

but for now, your voice is too Iow.

Yes.

Facing that mountain over there, yell out whatever you want.

I can't.

H uh?

Ah !

Oh . . . go on !

Oh ...

Are you even trying?

Okay, one more time .

Oh !

Ah !

Oh !

AII right!

They had a fight because of your ex-boyfriend?

No, that's not it.

Do you still Iike him?

Yano confessed his feelings for me and we started going out,

but even then . . . l could n't tell him how I felt.

And then he said ...

"I have no idea what you're thinking ," so he dumped me .

For now, why don't you say it out clearly next time?

Next time?

Next time. . . you find someone you Iike.

Setoyama ...

what do you about Erino?

What?

It seems you two have gotten closer...

You and Erino...

I hope things work out for you two.

Oh , no, I . . . d idn't mean to...

"Didn't mean to"?

No, it's not that. It's just...

Ku roda .

I won't...

tell Erino about this.

Okay.

I have a request.

Today...

I'd Iike to start with a song request.

♪ Apologizing should make it easier,

♪ but we 're both so stubborn

♪ l could just be myself. . . as l am.

I'm sorry.

♪ "I am sorry. " l couldn 't say it out loud.

Me too...

I'm sorry.

So are we good now?

Yeah .

Then Iet's have Iunch .

Yeah .

You know, it's my first time buying a CD .

- Really? - Yeah .

♪ "I am sorry, " those 5 syllables l couldn 't say

♪ Those words are wavering in the back of my throat

I'm sorry!

♪ The magic of making up. . . - Erino.

♪ L'll cast it now

l'm sorry, too.

Did you ru n?

I ran so fast.

M m m . This is delicious.

AII right, I made up my m ind . I'm gonna confess to Yoneda!

- What? - What?

I'm tired of being indecisive.

If we win the ball game, then stroke the trophy, and you confess to him ,

maybe it'II be mutual .

For sure!

- Let's go all out and win ! - Yeah !

If only I'm not on it, maybe it'II work out...

No, you have to work hard too.

- We'II train now. We still have time. - Now?

But I want you to teach me how to d ribble.

Dribble?

- You're right. My eyes do close. - Right. That's it.

Hey, someth ing came in .

Is this a request?

H uh ...

What's the meaning of this?

Sorry.

We will now begin the 35th Seitoku High School Ball Games tournament.

- Yo! - Yo!

You guys are winn ing .

I'm gonna win today with my shot.

Good Iuck.

Yeah .

Yuko!

- What are you doing? Let's go. - Sorry.

- We're gon na be Iate. - Let's go.

- Good Iuck. - Yeah ! Good Iuck too.

Yay! Yay!

Nozom i !

Use the spring in your knees

to pull your upper body up.

Shape your hands like a rice ball...

And. . . jump.

That's amazing , Nozomi .

Change it up! Change it up! Next!

Let's go, Iet's go, Iet's go.

[ I don 't want to ąuit. l don 't want to give up. ]

You can do it! Let's go! Last one, Iast one!

Yeah , yeah , yeah ...

Yo!

And now, the girls' dodgeball championship match...

That's too bad .

Erino cou Idn't watch the game because she was busy with the student cou ncil .

I know.

You were gonna confess after winning , right?

Yeah .

Well , then . . . I'm happy with this.

Why?

Because I am going to confess.

What?

You know. . . this is my Iove...

To Erino?

H uh?

Then guess it's heartbreak city for me...

H uh?

What?

Yeah !

N ice shot, one more!

Will CIass 3-A win again this year?

This is the highly anticipated match .

I'II switch with you .

She's gone.

Sorry.

Can I help you fix it?

No, I'II take care of it myself.

Kuroda, you've changed somehow.

Did I?

When you rejected me the other day,

I was Iike, "Oh , you say things Iike this clearly now."

L'm sorry.

I did n't notice it when we were together.

You know, you're just a Iittle slower than others.

I'm sure the people arou nd you are waiting for you right now.

So, well ...

why not trust them?

I don't know what's going on though .

Take care.

I'm sorry.

Erino--

I n kindergarten ,

I was such a crybaby.

Whenever I was crying because the boys were picking on me,

you would always ask me, "What's wrong?"

No matter what,

you were always there by my side.

When you are in need ,

I want to be there for you just the same.

You've been acting a Iittle strange Iately.

I had a feeling there was something going on .

But I was wondering if one day you would confide in me...

Because...

l'm such a Iiar...

I don't know what to do.

I'm sorry.

Erino, I'm sorry.

I know that you're not the type who tells Iies just to hurt others.

How Iong do you think we've been together?

Not being able to say it,

it must have been hard .

Sorry.

Yeah .

Than k you .

Let's go.

[ I like you! -Setoyama ]

[ If you don 't know much about me, then l want

you to get to know me. Please go out with me ]

[ Sorry it's so sudden. For the longest time, l've been curious about you. ]

I wanna talk to you properly. So ltm just gonna go out and ask it. Who are you ?

Look,

just because the answer's right doesn't make it right.

It's why you thoug ht that, and why you came u p with the answer,

that's what's important.

Now, with that in m ind , shall we try these two questions?

Nozom i .

Good Iuck with the broadcast!

We'II Iook forward to hearing it.

Yeah .

Hello.

I'm Ku roda and I'II be your host for today.

You always listen to my poor broadcasts.

Thank you.

Normally, it would make me happy if everyone 's life could be colored by music,

like the songs that everyone enjoys, or songs related to the seasons or events.

Today...

allow me to play you

my favorite song .

♪ Demon, in the name of devil

♪ Demon, in the name of devil

- Nozomi's got good taste . - Right?

Here, aah ...

l'm sorry, Setoyama.

L've been lying to you thįs whole time.

Even though l knew you 'd hate me one day,

l had so much fun, l didn 't want to stop.

I couldn 't tell you the truth because l didn 't want you to hate me.

I was cowardly and sly,

and l was afraid of getting hurt, so l kept running away.

I don 't want to repeat the same thing again.

So, l know it's probably too late,

but let me apologize.

L'm really sorry.

This time l am rooting for...

Erino and Setoyama to convey their feelings to each other.

Nozomi Kuroda.

Hey, hey, in the end , who was the girl Setoyama Iiked?

The girl who com mented on the desk.

H uh?

He said he's been Iooking for her the whole time.

What does that mean?

We thought it was Erino.

Kuroda !

Are you kidding me? !

What do you mean by this?

It's...

the truth .

This?

Give me a break!

I'm sorry.

I can't take it anymore.

I can't keep up.

What makes you th ink you can just end it Iike that?

For what purpose

do you thin k l've been keeping u p with you?

H uh?

It's my fau It I got it wrong .

But when you get caught, you'II run away, right?

That's why...

l didn tt want to stop either! - Is that Setoyama's voice?

It is, right?

You were lying, and so was l!

And so. . . sorry about that!

And what's with the, "I'm rooting for you"?

Are you seriously thinking that?

No...

I don't, but...

What about my feelings,

were you even aware?

You really don't get it!

I'm telling you ...

I Iike you !

I ...

Iike you , Ku roda !

I like you!

Wow! Wow!

I Iove Yuko too!

It started out as a message on my desk.

Okay, that's all for now. Any q uestions?

You guys all right?

[ I don 't want to ąuit. l don 't want to give up. ]

"It may not be possible now, but there will come a day when it will be."

Those words, l...

l wanted to keep going,

but there 's nothing l can do about įt.

Yes, you can.

It may not be possible now,

but there will come a day when it will be.

The moment l realįzed l got it wrong,

l regretted it to death.

But l didn 't want to stop.

Your words have saved me all this time.

Thank you.

Welcome back.

I Iike you , Kuroda .

So don't try to end it with a Ietter.

Let me hear it clearly.

I want to hear it clearly.

Oh , u h ...

Oh !

What the heck was that?

Motivation !

I don't. . . want to Iie about how I feel anymore.

I ...

Iike you , Setoyama !

I Iove you !

name of "Ms. Lovesick High School Girl."

"Compared to my friends, l lack confidence in myself."

"I really hate myself being like that."

Well , I've been there myself, so I understand how you feel .

For example, why don't you try putting into words what you're thinking right now?

Write down what you Iike, what's troubling you , in a notebook,

and those words will give you strength .

What's im portant...

is that you don't Iie about how you feel .

I'm rooting for you !

- Sorry for the wait! - Good work.

- Over there? - Yeah .

- You're out early. - Yeah , I got it done early.

Have you thought about your speech for Yoneda and Yuko's wedd ing?

Not yet.

Can you recall any funny moments?

You got anything?
