You may dream

masshiro na

about that angel's

promise coming true,

koi wa tsubasa ni naru

tenshi no yubikiri kanau you ni

of that pure love turning into wings

Your figure passes before my eyes

me no mae o sugiru yokogao

tokimekiga odorihajimeru

and makes my heartbeat dance

Listening closely to the voice

hanasu koe mimi o katamuke

I learn something more about you yet again

mata hitotsu anata o shitta

hon no sukoshi yuuki dashite

I want to show just a bit of bravery

and look into your eyes

sono hitomi o mitsumetai

You may dream

masshiro na

about that angel's

promise coming true,

koi wa tsubasa ni naru

The first semester was about to come to an end.

At the End of the First Semester

Finals and sports competitions are over.

The average student is looking forward to summer break.

Sports athletes are looking forward to their respective activities.

The atmosphere in school stirred with excitement with the coming summer.

Good morning!

Good morning!

Until yesterday, Miyazawa had a lot of problems,

but now, she has friends and she's doing well with her classmates.

Oh, Arima. Good morning.

Go...Good... morning...

Awkward

Breasts

Breasts

Oh, how cute.

What's wrong?

Pisses me off. Dammit.

This is what Shibahime's like.

What is this, revenge?!

All sorts of things happened in the first semester.

I met Miyazawa.

True Selves

We learned of each other's true selves.

And together, we decided to go back to being our real selves.

Miyazawa easily wrecked the square,

unhappy model student that I used to be,

found the real me that I didn't even know existed,

and said that she loved me.

I love you.

I was happy...

that I'd met her.

I was happy...

that I can share the same high school moments with her.

Every day is so hot these days.

I guess the first semester is coming to an end.

Yeah.

Nostalgically

When I think back, there sure were a lot of things that happened.

I was just thinking about that, too.

What'll we do if the second semester is like this, too?

I don't want to think about it, so I'm not gonna think about it.

Oh, I guess it's summer break already.

Are you going anywhere during summer break?

Nope, maybe go to my grandfather's, but that's about it.

We aren't that rich, so...

Oh, but I'm gonna hang out with the girls.

Go to movies or the pool.

With Shibahime and the others?

That's right!

I'm finally making my debut in the world of girls!

Go to festivals and go to karaoke, you know?

I've never done stuff like that.

I'm so happy. I'm so happy.

Maybe I'll debut as a punk girl, too.

Image

Bleach my hair and darken my skin or something.

What about you?

Are you going anywhere?

No, I'm busy this summer, so I don't think so.

You know, Miyazawa...

Hmm?

There's something I haven't told you.

What is it?

There's a kendo tournament in August.

Okay.

I'm supposed to be in that,

so I need to train quite a bit for it.

I probably won't be able to see you for a while.

We're going to the Nationals.

So, we'll be at a training camp all of July.

I wanted to tell you sooner,

but I didn't know anything definite until recently...

And you had a lot of other problems, so...

I'm sorry.

Oh, I see.

Sports teams have stuff like that, don't they?

Come to think of it... I see.

Oh, but it's great that you're going to the Nationals.

I never knew you were that good.

I wish you'd told me earlier.

Congratulations.

Oh, maybe I'll go watch the tournament.

Where's it at?

It's in Kyoto...

Then I won't quite be able to go, but I'll be cheering for you.

Good luck! I'm sure you'll do well.

I see. It's summer break...

It'll be different than being able to meet at school everyday.

I wonder why I never thought about stuff like that.

It's always been taken for granted that we'll be near each other.

Ever since we started high school, we've noticed each other.

Ever since we got to know each other, we've hardly been apart for two days.

We influenced each other and we became our real selves.

Our relationship is based on something deeper than "love".

We learn for the very first time...

just how special the other is.

Later.

The first semester ends.

First High School Summer Break

Summer break begins.

Resources room

Are you done with that?

Almost.

I'll call you.

I'll be free after the 7th of August.

Then let's go out and play together.

We made all sorts of promises to go out, remember?

Yeah.

It's so bad.

I'm getting depressed just because we won't see each other for a while.

I gotta learn to be okay with something like this.

It's not like I won't be able to see you for years and years.

But I'm the same, too.

For the first time since we met, we'll be spending time apart.

Say, Miyazawa...

Hmm?

There's something I want to do

before we can't see each other for a while.

What is it?

I want to hold you.

Wha...?!

I won't do anything perverted.

Only did it once amidst confusion

But we haven't done it properly yet, so...

I feel that I want to know, you know?

If we can't see each other for a while...

How the person I love feels...

Okay.

Somehow, I feel relieved.

Yeah. Somehow, I feel relaxed.

It feels so good.

The shape of the person I love.

The shape of the person I love.

His weight.

His weight

His warmth.

His warmth

I feel like happiness spreads from everything that I've felt.

I don't need anything else.

I never knew there was such a serenity.

Moved

It's too bad!

If it was something this good, we should've done this a lot earlier.

What a waste.

But there's all sorts of embarrassment factors...

Well, when I get back, we can do it more often.

Yeah. Good luck at the Nationals.

Beat up those juniors and seniors and win the tournament!

Our first summer is here.

Closing ceremony

Arima!

I heard you're going to the Nationals.

Here, a thousand paper cranes.

I can't go cheer for you, but think of this as me and go for it, okay?

Did you make all those by yourself?

That's right! I'll take care of things while you're gone!

Sense of Duty

I'll make sure Miyazawa doesn't get any evil boys attached to her!

I get the feeling that you're the most evil of them all,

but, well, please take care of things.

You're mean!

Crushed

You sure you can talk to me like that?

I'm going to the pool with Miyazawa. Right?

Right.

What?! No...

What're you doing, Miyazawa?!

Going with a perverted guy like him?!

You have way too little self-awareness!

Huh? But my two sisters are coming, too.

He's just a guy who's tagging along.

You think so?

Come on!

My gorgeous body hidden under this shirt.

I'm gonna show it to Miyazawa.

Under the mid-summer sun...

This blinding, sparkling, smooth-as-porcelain,

gorgeous body of mine.

Quit it.

Stop saying it in that creepy way.

Well, you just go and practice your kendo.

Getting covered in sweat in your protective gear...

Go and live your smelly, hot youth.

But we're gonna go play.

He's unusually confrontational today.

It'll be lonely that I won't be able to see her,

but if I have to, I hope to grow into a better man when I come back.

Enough that Miyazawa might love me more for it.

To be continued

Chapter

Hey, here she comes.

Hey, Yukinon!

Hey!

Did you wait long?

Nope. We just got here.

I'm glad. I'd promised to meet up with her before coming here.

Remember, I told you there was someone I wanted to invite along?

This is Isawa Maho.

She's in my class.

Hello.

Tsubaki

Tsubaki

This is the main offender who was ignoring Yukinon!

What d'you show up here for?!

Beat it!

There, there. It's okay.

We already made peace.

Yuki-Maho Friendship starts

What?! I don't get the feeling that we can trust her!

This is normal?

Why did I have to come here?

Oh, but it's a good chance.

Neither of us have had real friends for all this time,

so if we have to start from square one, it'll be better with company.

Darn.

Fine, I really couldn't care less about it,

but I owe you, so I'll keep you company.

Friendship!

Friendship

At the Beginning of Summer Break

Summer break has begun.

The ups and downs of the first semester have ended,

and it looks like I can relax for once.

Unfortunately, Arima has practice for the Nationals,

so it looks like we won't be seeing each other for a good while.

I'll be back on the 5th of August.

Then, when I come back, we can do all sorts of things.

Well...

Blush

I have friends now, so I'm doing good for now.

Arima's working hard, too,

so I plan to spend some quality time in my own way.

Sena. Sawada.

'Ello!

'Ello! You can call us by Rika and Aya.

These two seem the most normal, you know?

Shibahime's so late.

Cigarettes are bad.

Cigarettes are bad!

Cigarettes are bad!!

I... I understand.

Please excuse me.

I'm so glad.

Aya wouldn't stop smoking at all.

I'm so happy to have such a strong friend like you.

Normal ones like her are usually harder to deal with than crazies.

She doesn't smoke.

But still, Tsubasa's pretty late.

She's pretty loose these days.

Well, I suppose there's no helping it.

Sorry for the wait.

So... So... So...

So cute!

Won't you come to a clothing store with me later?

I want to dr...dress you in all sorts of clothing.

I want you t...to show me!

Well, it's a social gathering, so I guess we'll go play around.

We live hidden in the dark.

We live hidden

in the dark

We're monster people, you see.

We're monster people, you see.

We can't show these beast-like bodies.

We can't show these

beast-like bodies.

I want to become a human soon!

I want to become a human soon!

Send away our dark fate!

Send away our dark fate!

Bemu!

Bemu!

Bera!

Bera!

Bero!

Bero!

Monster people!

Monster people!

Tsubasa, you like Totoro, right?

Yeah. Totoro?

Right, Totoro.

A big Totoro doll just went walking that way.

What?!

A big Totoro?! Really?!

For real!

It was real huge.

Wanna see it?

Yeah, wanna see.

Then you'd better hurry.

We'll lose sight of it.

Off we go!

Hey, you two...

Shh. Hey, she noticed.

Hey, quit it! That's mean!

This is friendship...

Sorry for the wait.

Here's the "Mr. Bear Surprise Giant Parfait".

Sorry 'bout that, Tsubasa.

Eat all you want.

Here.

Say, "Ahh".

Yo...You can have some of my cake, too.

My tea, too.

My coffee, too.

Wow, Tsubasa's lost it!

Stop it! Stop it! You'll cause problems for the shop owner!

I'm starting to see the inter-relationship of these four.

Toy

Troubled

Evil

Cooperate

The four of you are from the same middle school, right?

That's right.

Hatadai Middle School.

South Shirakawa Middle School.

Horikawa Western Middle School.

How did you guys meet?

To begin with, Tsubasa and I've been friends since kindergarten.

And Rika and I are childhood friends and we live next door to each other.

Tsubaki (Age 4) in Kindergarten

Tsubasa was really shy of people she didn't know, even back then.

Alone, apart from the crowd

Liked pretty girls, even back then

Hey, you're cute.

Wanna play with clay with me?

Wastes no time sweet talking her

And so, thanks to her being stuck to me like super-glue,

I had no time to get cute girls to attend me and play with them.

My life in school was completely ruined.

But I do have some girls attending me, because I'm popular.

You like young and beautiful girls so much.

Hmm... Sounds like someone...

Investigating previous memories

But I'm honored to meet a cute girl like you in high school, Yukinon.

Let's be friends from now on.

Oh, you over there. If nothing else, your face is beautiful,

so I won't mind adding you to our group of friends.

Wha...!

Oh, I got it! She's definitely like him!

That man that I know well...!

Come here, my dear Marys.

No mistake about it.

We've been...

together since we were babies,

so we kind of take it for granted to be together.

That's wonderful!

Kindergarten escape plan

When I tried to escape from kindergarten, Rika kept me company.

Let's not do this. You're heavy.

Bad girl!

And Rika was the only one who got caught and scolded.

Got caught by the teacher

I'm sorry.

Won't help

You shouldn't do things like that!

Make her clean and won't help

I'd trash my room and get scolded by my mom,

and even then, I wouldn't clean up,

so Rika cleaned up for me because she couldn't just leave it.

Sort these books by author!

and then complains

But even so, I'd complain that:

This goes to the second shelf. These magazines go in order from the left.

"The books shouldn't be lined up this way."

See?

That was fun!

Makes her go to movies with her

I'd always make Rika keep me company

because I hate to go to movies alone,

Heh-Heh

Got it?

But when she invites her...

Hey, wanna go watch this?

but when Rika invites me to a movie for once...

She won't go.

I don't like movies like that.

Not what I like

Goes off by herself

And I wouldn't go with her.

Oh sorry, wait!

So, I unilaterally feed off Rika and rake in the benefits.

That's our relationship.

Rika's laughing.

Doesn't she mind it?

But I wonder about it sometimes.

Even though I'm like this, the one thing I do have is literary talent.

Wow, I can write so easily...

I'd write essays and sweep in the victories from numerous contests,

It's a piece of cake.

Heh, this is so easy. Heh, this is so easy. Heh, this is...

and I was really arrogant.

And at a time like that...

You're so great, Aya!

You get so many awards, you're amazing!

I'm so proud of being your friend!

She... She's congratulating me from her heart!

After all the terrible things I've done, how can she congratulate me?!

What is she, a saint?!

If I was in her shoes, I'd never be able to congratulate her!

I'd burn real bad with jealousy!

That's right! That's what I'm like! That's what I'm like!

What's wrong?

S...Stop it!

Huh? What?

I'm not the kind of person you should congratulate!

Huh?

Every time you congratulate me, my bad qualities stand out!

Bad qualities

It teaches me that I'm the worst person in the world!

I see.

Aya is Gokuu and Rika is Sanzo Houshi.

And in middle school,

Aya and I resonated to each other's badness and we joined up.

I see.

But you know, Aya really has literary talent,

and she was selected for the Junior Novels' New Talent Award,

and she's writing books.

Wha...What?! Novels?! As in, those books sold at bookstores?!

A... A novelist?!

Yup.

Wow... a... a professional...

A real professional novelist

A real novelist.

A real novelist this close to us.

It's not a big deal.

They only put in a short piece once in a while.

Even if it's professional, it's in name only.

There're plenty of people like me.

No, but it's pretty impressive as a high school student.

After all, you're an active professional in high school.

That's right.

You have talent.

You'll definitely succeed.

I'm so proud of you.

Stop encouraging me from your heart!

It's summer break, so you're going to stock up on your writing, right?

Yeah, I'm going to try a long story.

Besides, it's not like I'm the only one doing something special.

Tsubaki's an attacker who became a starter...

in the volleyball team when she joined up.

And Rika's always been good at home economics.

She makes unbelievably intricate and beautiful things.

Who knows what'll happen in five or ten years?

Everyone's nurturing their talents.

You're so lucky. I guess you all have things you want to do.

I've never thought of things like that.

You're amazing.

All I can do is schoolwork.

Only schoolwork

What're you complaining about?

If you're that good at schoolwork, you've got nothing to complain about.

If you can do schoolwork that well...

Has no talents whatsoever

Well, shall we call it quits about now?

Hey, what is it, Tsubasa? Don't wanna go home yet?

What is it? You want to play around for a little longer?

Whoa!

You underestimate her, Yukinon!

Looks like Tsubasa really likes you.

But when Tsubasa clamps onto you like that, it's over.

She'll be stuck to you forever!

To be honest, it's a real pain!

Umm, we don't wanna have to deal with her spoiled ways,

so we're going home.

Well, keep it to a minimum.

We'll call you later.

All right. All I have to do is keep you company, right?

Tsubasa's completely attached to Yukinon.

It's unusual.

She's so shy with people she doesn't know.

She's having a hard time with all sorts of problems going on.

I hope she can forget some of it by becoming friends with Yukinon.

Her father might get remarried, right?

Yeah, and she's got a father complex,

so things seem to be pretty complicated.

On top of that, she couldn't come to school because she got hospitalized.

And her beloved Arima got a girlfriend during that time.

She... She's so unlucky.

It's like she should get blessed to ward off evil or something.

Hey?

Why do you think Tsubasa wanted to stay with Yukinon just now?

Who knows?

It's probably because she doesn't want to be at home too much.

It must be awkward.

But she'll go home afterwards, right?

She... She isn't thinking of anything weird, is she?

Yukinon!

Schoolwork isn't the only thing with merit.

Everyone else has all sorts of individual traits.

This is so bad.

I don't know anything.

While I was cramming without any thoughts,

everyone else was discovering all sorts of other things.

I never even noticed things like that.

Somehow, I feel like I got left behind.

How unusual. Feeling discouraged?

But you know, I've just learned exactly how little I had!

You're going to look for that, starting now.

You've realized that studies aren't the only thing to measure a person.

That's the most important thing.

It's never too late to start.

Besides, you aren't alone.

I want to change, too.

If we have to start from square one, it's better with company, right?

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Friendship!

Friendship

I have friends.

Just with that, my loneliness disappears.

I'm no longer alone.

I have friends.

Public Lockers

Wow, what a huge bag.

What're you going to do with that, Tsubasa?

I'm leaving my home.

Huh?!

Daddy and I live just the two of us, you know?

A woman comes over to our house these days, you know?

She tries to get on my good side, pretending to be my mother, you know?

That pisses me off, you know?

Danger

Daddy says he wants to marry that woman.

And he'd never even mentioned the word "remarriage".

It seems that he's serious.

Serious stuff all of a sudden...

I've never seen her talk this much.

Daddy's a rich boy who's out of it, so that woman wormed her way in!

How disgusting! I haven't acknowledged her, all right?!

And that woman's got a boy my age by a previous marriage!

She's got no style at all!

Do people normally do things like that?!

That's why I'm going to run away from home.

Daddy has got to wake up if I disappear.

This is a war to get Daddy back from that woman!

But, where are you going to run away to?

Put me up.

What?! I'm not keeping you company that far!

I don't wanna! I'm going home!

It's friendship! It's friendship!

I don't want to! I am going home!

Arima, friendship is wonderful.

So what?! It's friendship!

But, at times...

It's a little difficult.
