A boardinghouse.

A tea hall.

Rose parties.

Secret meetings.

Séances.

A window that peers out from the library.

This is bad. I'm in love.

What are you doing?

Oh, I just...

Where are your friends?

They went to check out the chapel.

You didn't go with them?

That's right.

Umm... I want to talk to you about something...

I didn't have a chance to tell you earlier...

Umm...

You want to talk to me, huh?

Can we do it outside?

Huh?

I'd rather talk outside.

That was amazing!

It really was!

The ceiling was so high... It was like looking into the sky!

The stained-glass windows were gorgeous!

It made me hesitant to talk too loud in there.

I know, right?

I'm not used to that sort of place either.

I'm sorry. I screwed up and thought I was signing up for the Literary Club.

Oh. You're quitting the basketball team.

What a waste. You've got such a good body for it.

I'm just tall.

What a shame.

A real shame.

No, I'm really not athletic at all.

I mean it's a shame that is where we part ways.

I really liked you.

Huh?

I realized it the second I saw you...

Like, "Oh, she's my type."

Don't joke like that.

I'm dead serious.

Wow, something special's happening between those two.

Seriously.

OK, let's interrupt 'em.

Why would we do that?

We're already staring. All that's left is to actually get in their way.

I'm going in.

Manjome-san! Let's go home!

Bye-bye, Achan!

She's Sugimoto-sempai.

Mom!

It's me, Kyoko! I'm right here!

Ikumi

Good morning. It's Ko.

Kyoko-san, are you not ready yet?

Can you wait just another minute?

Sorry to make you wait, Ko-chan.

I don't mind, Auntie.

You should drive your car to school.

I mean, they spent all that money on it for you.

You wouldn't let me drive you to school even if I offered.

I like taking the train.

You always say that.

Depend on me a little more, will you?

I'm always depending on you.

You mean you used to depend on me.

Kyoko, being so selfish will make you lose your appeal.

I never had any appeal to begin with.

I have till Sunday to gather the girls, right?

Yeah.

I'll call you when I'm ready.

You take care of the set-up on your side.

Thanks for walking me to school.

She really lacks appeal.

Okudaira-san.

Do you have a minute?

A group date!

You're talking about a group date, right?

I guess you could call it that...

Wow, a group date.

I'll finally make my group date debut!

You don't need to make such a big deal about it.

But there will be college guys there.

I don't know what to talk to them about!

My fiancé is organizing it. I think you'll like him.

Fiancé... You're engaged already...

In name only.

Umm, so the person you like is...?

Not him.

It wouldn't be, huh?

The person I like rejected me.

Huh?

So I'm pretty desperate because of it.

"The only males who will be allowed are close relatives."

"Only fiancés will be granted special permission."

Wow, only fiancés!

It's wild, right?

That's what I'd expect from such a high-class girls' school!

But doesn't everyone bring their boyfriends and say they're their fiancés?

Exactly!

Apparently some girls have a new fiancé each year!

That's just wrong.

Most of the country will be sunny tomorrow.

Continuing on...

What in heaven's name are you doing?

I felt like moving my desk around.

Do that tomorrow. It's Sunday.

I'll be done as soon as I put the things back on my desk.

OK.

I'm dead serious.

Let's go on a date.

Huh?

Do you have plans with someone else on Sunday?

I don't...

Then it's decided.

How's ten o'clock at Kamakura station sound?

Sure...

Manjome-san! Let's go home!

What should I wear tomorrow?

Huh?!

What are you talking about?

No friggin' way!

I'll never talk to you again if you do that!

Give it up.

I'll tell Dad.

What do you think Dad'll do if he finds out?

What is it?

Something going on?

It's nothing!

OK.

Don't yell then.

R-Right...

He's ten times tougher than I am.

What's it gonna be?

I put your medicine on the table.

Oh, thank you.

You're no spring chicken anymore. Take it easy.

Right.

Is Fumi still asleep?

She left a while ago.

Oh. Out shopping?

Who knows. Maybe she had a date.

Who's the guy? She didn't say she needs a cellphone, did she?

No... You worry too much.

You aren't worried about her date?

I'd be more worried if she wasn't dating.

Okudaira-san, over here.

Sorry I'm late!

It's fine. We got here early.

We're still waiting for someone. He's really bad at being on time.

This is Ko Sawanoi-san.

He's my fiancé. I told you about him.

Nice to meet you.

N-Nice to meet you! I'm Akira Okudaira.

Is there anyone you've been seeing?

Huh? Why ask me that all of a sudden?

I was curious if there was.

There isn't...

Let's go look at the ocean.

Huh? The ocean...?

I have a secret place.

We should have it all to ourselves right now.

This place fills up with people when the hydrangeas are in bloom.

This is the first time I've come here.

You've got a pretty name, Fumi.

Thank you.

Fumi-chan.

Fumi?

Yes...

Let's go out again.

Weirdo.

What's wrong?

I think we're being followed.

No way...

Some creepy looking guy in sunglasses.

He's about our age. I've seen him three times today.

Sure you're not imagining things?

No, he was just staring over here the whole time, without moving, while I was ordering the food.

Sure he wasn't checking out the girl who works here?

Eww, a stalker?

I'm sorry! That's my big brother!

I told him not to, but he came anyway.

And after you were so kind to invite me...

I told him he'd better not follow me...

But he ignored me.

I hate him!

Die, you idiot, idiot, idiot!

Don't do that, Akira! Those are hard!

You're unbelievable! You ruined everything!

They all thought I'm such a weirdo!

What do you enjoy about embarrassing your little sister?!

That's just it...

I can't stomach the idea of some guy taking my little sister home with him...

What an idiot.

What?

That's why you can't get a girlfriend!

Worry about yourself instead of me for once!

As long as I have you-

Stop saying that, you creep!

Do you think you can stop now? The neighbors will get the wrong idea.

Sorry.

Come on, cheer up already.

That girl, Ikumi-san, is pretty sexy, huh?

Sucks to be you. She's got a great fiancé already.

You said yourself that it's in name only.

Oh, so you're after Ikumi-san now.

No, I'm not.

I'm saying that she might be after you.

Huh? N-No way!

Can you say that for certain?

If it's really in name only, I wouldn't be surprised if the engagement gets called off.

What an interesting girl.

She's cute, right?

I guess it makes sense she'd cry, since her brother followed her.

They ended up going home together.

But she really is a cute one.

Are you back, Fumi?

Fumi?

Let's go out again.

Here you go.

Read it well.

Don't skim it just because you aren't going to be on stage.

I-I won't!

Kawasaki-sempai, I have something to ask the club president.

She's in Kagami-sensei's office right now.

She'll be back real soon, I bet.

Faculty Room

Oh, the script is ready.

Are preparations for the play going well?

It's coming along.

I'm sorry I haven't been able to help the club out at all.

I never expected you to.

Sensei, we're totally fine, with or without you.

Sorry.

I-I was just joking!

Right.

I guess I was a little sarcastic, too.

Right.

We asked Sugimoto to guest star. She's going to play Heathcliff.

Oh, is she doing well?

Yes. She's getting more handsome by the day.

Handsome, huh?

Is she in the drama club at her school?

She's playing sports, actually.

I guess she's the captain of the basketball team.

Wow, impressive.

She's so good at everything she does.

That's true.

OK, thanks.

Thanks for being so patient with me.

So, you're done with the basketball team now, huh?

What a shame.

She's here all the time, so don't let your guard down.

She's a really aggressive recruiter.

I'll recruit her out of here first, then.

Manjome-san, let's go to the library.

Steel shelves aren't bad,

but wood ones have a certain elegance to them.

Fujigaya's library is really pretty.

Indeed. It's like "The Library".

I get why Achan chose Fujigaya now.

Oh, Achan is...

There's a "Master of the Library" at Fujigaya...

"Master of the Library"?

Some teacher was messing around and called a girl who loves books that, and the name stuck.

That's great.

Why do you have tears in your eyes?

Please don't move in so close to me while I'm still not ready.

All right, to get ready...

Huh?

Take a deep breath.

Surrounded by the steel shelves in the library...

That was where Sempai and I shared our first kiss.

Rise and Shine

See you next time.
