Junior High Year 1 * Spring

Everyone, good morning!

Register number 1, please give out the command.

Yes.

Stand.

Stand.

I apologize.

What are you thinking?

A disgrace.

Not only the colour of your hair,

don't you think you're just sticking out too much?

Not really.

What's that attitude you're showing?

I'm going to call your parents.

Go ahead.

Calm down, sensei.

Students have their own situations to deal with.

As a human being, there are times when you're in a bad mood too, right?

Doesn't music heal you during those times?

Well...

Our junior high school life has just started.

So, please overlook it this time.

Well... since you said that...

Hey! What do you think you're doing?

Hurry up and write your essay reflecting on what you have done.

Then go back to class!

Geez.

I am truly sorry.

How deeply I am truly sorry,

Sensei...

Safe.

Hey. This is some high-impact way to meet, huh?

Huh?

On a special day, the school's entrance ceremony,

we get scolded together for bringing similar iPods.

Our story starts from now...

like that.

I'm Kamiya Mitsu.

Mitsu's fine.

What's your name?

Idiot.

Oi, what about your reflection essay?

You're finally here.

Let's hurry.

Me?

The location for Guidance has been moved to the gymnasium.

You waited for me?

Why?

Why?

I thought it would be a problem for you since you didn't know.

Hey, hey. How did you get your hair that way?

I just bleached it...

Eh, and it turned out this pretty colour.

It suits you but it'll definitely get you scolded.

Uh...

I'm Takemiya Mei.

Your name?

Yamagashi...

Yamagashi Mia.

Mia.

So it's Mia.

Yoroshiku ne?

Mm.

Let's go.

To consider friends.....

To consider friends..... To consider the one you like....

To consider friends..... To consider the one you like.... But never able to see what is really important...

Sorry!

Sorry Mei.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I made it.

Let's go.

It's rare to see you in glasses.

I didn't sleep well so I couldn't get the contact lenses in.

Does it look horrible?

Ah. Not at all.

Unexpectedly.

What time were you up till yesterday?

Till 1. 1 o'clock. Isn't that something?

All so that I can be with Mei in

Sakuragawa High School.

Life in high school without Mei is impossible.

No choice but to give it my all.

Guess so.

You're late!

On the double!

Hurry up.

Hurry on up!

May I be together with Mei in Sakuragawa High School Mia

Done!

God, please!

Will definitely pass!! St Lotus Women's College affliated high school. Nakanishi Yuri

Alright!

Pass and get into a high school somewhere. Mitsu

Oi.

You wrote 'somewhere'. Is just anywhere really okay for you?

This doesn't concern someone who has a sports recommendation.

As long as I pass, anywhere is fine.

I guess, eh?

You, Taka?

What's there?

No way.

No way? Why? Show us. What are you hiding?

Good morning.

It's been awhile, all of you.

It's been awhile.

Everyone's here to pray for school success?

When you are troubled, lean on God for support and write on the wooden tablet.

Those are good intentions.

But we come here only when we're troubled though.

That's right.

The other day I sent Atsushi an amulet and a charm.

Looks like he's studying hard for his exams too.

Is Atsushi doing well?

He only replies to my mails once in a while.

Can that guy make new friends?

His face is so scary.

- Surprisingly timid though. - He just looks tough...

Mia, I have some stuff going on.

Adult matters.

Imitating him?

Imitating, of course.

Completely different!

It does sound like!

It's not completely different!

It sounds like.

Does not.

It's a little late to talk about but

would A-kun

still want to have something on with you for a little longer, Mei?

Mia.

Because it's true, isn't it?

I

went to see A-kun the day he moved.

The night before, he came to my house.

Out of the blue, he said we'll never meet again.

He lost interest.

Really?

What's with that?

But,

But he said that just out of nowhere and I didn't believe it.

I felt I had to speak to him one more time

so I went to see him.

Then,

a girl was helping him with the move.

A girl?

That means...

A-kun...

has someone else that he likes.

Ha?

So, it's fine.

We don't even have to try, it's already over.

That's awful.

But I can't believe it.

It's great you broke up with that jerk.

Anyway, for now we concentrate on our exams and do our best. Okay?

Okay?

Won't the exams just hurry up and end? Right, Mei?

Yeah.

The next question is...

It's fine for Natsu. He has a soccer recommendation.

Ouch!

Get some studying done before you feel jealous.

You're stupid too.

Shut up.

Mei.

Do you have some time?

Mm.

Just a while.

I,

was thinking of getting into the same high school as Mei.

Really?

Then if

I pass...

Mm?

If I pass...

What?

Please go out

with me.

I guess you're still thinking of Atsushi...

No.

That's over.

Really?

I

want to always be by your side.

If anything happens to you, I will protect you.

No huh?

No.

It's not a no...

If

Mei says yes to me now,

I feel like I can do my best.

I've never felt like this before.

So...

So...

Alright!

I did it!

I got an OK!

I studied like heck but why couldn't I remember anything?

I've never used my brain so much in my life.

Taka's so burned out, he's just ashes now.

Good work.

It'll be fine. Relax.

Hey.

The results will be announced after the graduation ceremony, right?

That's so close!

Yeah.

This is like the tortoise, already half-dead.

Not a tortoise, a goat.

No way.

It's not a tortoise or a goat. It's a snake.

[hebi no namagoroshi: to torment even when already half-dead]

No way.

Graduation ceremony soon, huh?

Just a while more of us gathering here then.

All of us dropping by here, talking nonsense, it'll all be over soon.

But all of us live close by,

so we can always meet up.

Yeah.

That's right.

Oh!

Yeah.

That's right. Na?

Ah? Kouta-kun?

What are you doing?

Me?

I'm the new employee here.

New?

A working adult, in his first year.

By the way, Mei-chan, it's been awhile.

It's been awhile.

Waa.

No good.

Taka.

I can't look straight at Mei's face.

It's glittering so brightly my heart is beating wildly.

Brings back memories of junior high school days.

Those were really the days of youth.

Are your parents coming to the graduation ceremony?

My mom is so enthusiastic.

- That means she's coming. - Mine too.

How about you, Mia?

Mine?

Not coming.

They have no interest in their kid.

Eh.

Hey Senpai, juice refill.

All right.

I'm glad.

You're intending to get into high school, A-kun.

I'll work on being back home as quickly as I can.

So we can live together.

Mm.

Nishino-san.

The meeting is starting.

Alright.

Everyone, congratulations on graduating!

And especially,

Kawaguchi!

Congratulations.

It's a miracle you graduated.

That's the first time I got praised.

That wasn't a compliment. Wasn't one.

But when we look back,

many things happened this past year.

The Culture Festival.

The Fortune Telling Hall was a huge success.

It looked like nothing but a Swindler's Hall to me though.

Then the band with its volunteer members.

Actually I watched that.

Oh?

It was top-notch.

And erm...

Yamagishi and Nakanishi's...

Gospel Dance, that one. It was interesting.

It's Gothic Lolita.

GothLoli.

If it was possible,

I'd want all the members of this class

who have spent time together and become good friends

to be here for this graduation together.

Yesterday

I received a call from Nakagawa Sara's mother.

She passed her exam for a high school in Osaka.

Even as you're preparing to go on to other schools, she hopes all of you have a good graduation ceremony.

She wants to tell that to everyone in class.

And then,

about Nishino.

Why did he transfer schools without saying a word?

You must be wondering about that.

Actually Nishino's mother had to be transferred to a regional hospital.

He went with her.

That guy,

he didn't want to worry everyone.

So he didn't want to give the reason for his transfer.

Nishino and Nakagawa,

they should have graduated with all of you together.

Even though they're not here now, let us all graduate together.

Aichin, Yuki! Let's take a photo.

Hurry up!

Your dad looks a little stiff, eh?

C'mon, relax. Relax.

Am I?

Here we go.

Say cheese.

One more.

Say cheese.

Your dad's getting all stiff again.

Mia.

What's wrong, Mia?

Your parents aren't here?

Yeah.

Yours, Miyavi?

Of course they're not.

See ya.

Bye bye.

Take care.

Mia.

Mei.

I was looking for you.

I don't really feel like graduating.

I don't have anyplace else besides school to go to.

My parents are in their second marriage.

I'm my father's kid from the previous marriage.

In that case,

my father should have played the role of fostering my relationship with a new mother.

But

right after he got married again, he left for a job position abroad.

Just leaving the two of us together so suddenly, what a situation.

You know,

at home, I feel like my existence is ignored.

I don't even hear her voice.

It's been going on so long.

Mia.

Hey Mei.

Do you remember the day we first met?

I

was certain that nothing would change,

even if I was in junior high.

But on the day of the school entrance ceremony,

you called me by my name "Mia".

I hardly even get called by my name at my own home.

I was so happy.

That day, I got the feeling that junior high might be fun after all.

My premonition was right. Completely!

Ah, it's such a miracle.

I wouldn't have believed it if someone had told me this would've happened to me.

Mia.

Just because we've graduated, it doesn't mean it's over.

We'll always be friends from now on.

I can't imagine high school life without you too, Mia.

Aah, I hope I pass!

You two, what are you doing there?

Geez. Don't interrupt when I'm talking with Mei!

There she goes, angry again.

Mia.

Today marks the 3rd year of the day that our story with that high-impact encounter has begun!

Come make some wonderful memories with me!

What is he saying?

Are you stupid?

Ta-da!

Natsu!

Taka!

Mei!

Yuri!

Mia!

Let's go!

We shouldn't be scribbling.

Hey you guys.

It's alright, to commemorate our graduation.

Leave behind a little history.

Whatever then.

Mei.

Let's go.

Mm.

Mei, dash!

Gothic Lolita Girl Sara Supreme Guitarist Mitsu

If It's Alright With You Attack Atsushi

Ah, here it is!

It's here!

Thank goodness.

Taka-chan?

I couldn't do it.

Complete failure.

But congratulations to the two of you.

The guy who failed the exam.

Hopeless, huh?

That's not true.

Really?

Mm.

You'll really go out with me?

Mm.

Seriously?

Thank god.

I'm so happy.

Then I'll attend night school.

Because my father said he can't send me to a private school.

Join me at night school, Mei.

I don't want us to be apart.

Don't you want to be together with me, Mei?

It's not that.

I worked hard to pass the exam.

You're right.

I was just kidding. Forget it.

But, you becoming my girlfriend, Mei...

is like a dream come true.

My classes start at 6,

so let's meet everyday before that.

Mm, that's fine.

Really? It's a promise then.

We meet everyday at 5.

Mm.

Here we are.

See you, Mei.

See you.

Do your best.

Mm.

Mei, good morning.

Good morning.

Was that Taka-chan?

I'm...

going out with Taka-chan.

Eh? You're kidding.

I didn't know.

Mm.

Eeh.

Actually, I've also started dating Mitsu.

Huh?

Let's have a double date next time.

Mm.

Boyfriends and girlfriends have to do photo booth pictures. Which one should we take?

This one here.

You choose.

This one, then.

And this.

Let's show big smiles.

Big smiles?

Peace. Peace, peace.

It's over.

It ends now. The days of my youth.

Mei

You and me, Mei, we met during summer in first year of Junior High.

First year of Junior High?

That's right.

On the way back from the summer festival,

I was having a quarrel with

some guys from another school, well, more like a discussion.

Then

you passed by, wearing a yukata.

Wow, I thought you were so cute.

I was completely charmed.

I guess I was completely struck.

After that,

if only I could see her again, I thought.

The next day

I saw you playing basketball in school.

From that time onwards,

I had always liked you.

But

But then I realized

Atsushi was growing closer to you.

I should have told you I liked you sooner.

That was my regret.

I

I really

liked A-kun.

It felt like it was a miracle after another.

Maybe A-kun and I were fated to be together.

That's what I thought.

But

although it was great how we met, we didn't see each other much again.

There was so much I wanted to say but

in the end, I didn't understand anything at all.

A fated encounter...

I was probably the only one who got all excited about it.

Seeing the way I am,

I think A-kun distanced himself from me.

But you, Taka-chan,

you were always looking out for me.

What happened with Sara,

I wouldn't have got over it by myself.

Thank you.

Let's stay together from now on.

Always together.

Mm.

May A-kun's mother get well soon. When I'm with A-kun, may all happiness be doubled, and all sadness be halved. 1 September 2006 Mei

Oi.

It's ready.

Oh, coming coming.

Geez, what are you doing?

You want me to just flit here and there?

Here you go the liver and garlic set meal.

Hello. Hello, uncle.

Ah Natsu, come in.

Taka, I asked my friends from the high school soccer club here.

Come in, take a seat.

Here's the menu.

I recommend my dad's curry rice.

This is really curry rice.

It's delicious.

Really?

Really is.

-Then maybe I'll have this? - Everyone's from the soccer club?

Yeah the soccer club. From high school.

So is it fun? School?

Natsu's classmates should be the same age as us, right?

Yeah.

Which high school do you go to?

I'm in night school, so there's no club activities.

Night school, huh.

That's great. You can have fun in the day.

We have morning training everyday.

Sleeping in is just a dream.

What are you talking about? There's other things to do besides play a fool in the day.

Right, Taka?

Yeah, I have to work. I've got to take over this place.

He has to take over, so Taka has his worries.

Dad, I'm leaving. It's almost time.

Take care.

Yeah.

Take your time.

Oi, Taka, Taka, Taka...

Do you know? Atsushi's back.

Eh?

I heard from Yuri, seems like he's attending a school around here.

Since he's here, let's call Mitsu and hang out.

Sure.

I understand.

See you.

Take care then.

It's been awhile.

Your uniform's cute.

It suits you, Yuri.

When I wear this uniform, I feel like I can do my best.

But I was so shocked when I heard that Mei and Taka-chan are dating.

Me too.

You, Mia?

How are you and Mitsu?

Mm.

It's getting serious.

I feel like I'm liking him more and more?

Like, he knows we have to be apart but he gets anxious. Or how much I mean to him.

I was surprised.

That idiot can come up with that stuff.

Welcome.

Drink bar, please.

Certainly.

Ah, she's a girl from your school right, Yuri?

Oh, Mami.

Your house is around here?

I'm meeting my boyfriend.

He's going to mail me on where we're meeting.

I met him yesterday too.

I'm going to be late.

See you tomorrow at school, Yuri.

Mm.

You know her, Mei?

That's the girl A-kun likes.

Eh?

You knew?

Mm.

A-kun's back here.

Is he?

I heard about Mami going out with A-kun but

sorry, I didn't know if I should've said anything.

I'm completely fine with it. It's over.

You have Taka-chan now.

Mm.

I have to get going.

Mm.

Sorry, see you again.

- See ya. - Bye bye.

They meet everyday at 5.

Everyday?

Sorry.

You just made it.

Sorry. I hurried here.

What were you doing?

I had tea with Mia and Yuri.

Ah. And I rushed here.

Chatting with your friends and coming late, please stop that.

This time of ours is really important to me.

Sorry.

Where should we go today?

Want to go to a cafe?

Mm.

A-kun.

I met Mami-chan there.

Dinner tonight is stew.

Have you heard how your mom

and my dad met?

No.

When my father was still employed

he always visited the place

where your mom worked.

That's where they met.

Is that so?

After that, my dad and mom

were constantly squabbling.

Usually, families would visit the amusement park or aquarium together.

I didn't go to any of those places.

It's the same for you too, right?

Yeah, I guess.

Ne?

So I thought I'd start making sweet memories from now on.

If it doesn't sound too bad to you,

if you don't have anything against it,

from now on, the two of us,

can the two of us go places together?

Mm.

If everything is okay with me, I'll go out with you anytime.

Thank you.

Which one is Takemiya Mei?

Someone's calling you.

Are you Mei-chan?

Yes.

We're Taka-chan's friends from elementary school.

Really?

Mei-chan's really cute.

Pleased to meet you.

Taka asked us a favour.

What is it?

Surveillance.

Eh?

Mei-chan...

got invited for karaoke by her classmates

but we chased them away.

No way.

Mei-chan has a date with her boyfriend.

Is that so?

Well, see you then.

Oh, nice play!

I'll ask for your help again.

But Taka...

Huh?

shouldn't you have more faith in her?

She's a serious girl.

That's not the problem.

I mean

I'm just worried about her.

So I love her too much.

What am I saying.

Thank you. I'll call you again.

Should I just skip school today?

Eh?

I want to be with you a little longer, Mei.

You shouldn't do that.

Shouldn't, huh?

You're right.

Hey.

Mm?

You have new friends too right, Taka-chan?

So

can we stop seeing each other after school everyday?

We can go out with our new friends...

Why are you saying that?

Yo, Taka!

May Mei be my girlfriend! Taka

Shut up.

Can you be quiet?

Huh?

What's with you?

Huh?

What?

Stop!

I said stop!

Sorry.

Come here.

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

Hey.

To consider friends..... To consider the one you like.... But never able to see what is really important...

To consider friends..... To consider the one you like.... But never able to see what is really important... Is there anything you can put your complete faith in?
