[Miki squealing]

I can't believe it's finally spring break!

Wow, you're energetic.

Of course I am!

I mean, look! It's an amusement park!

Exams are finally over,
and it's spring break,

so you've gotta get out there
and have fun with your friends!

If that's not the point of high school,
I don't know what is!

-[Yota] Hey, hey!
-Ah!

Thanks for waiting.

[Miki] Yay, you're here!

Hey, Minato and Yota!

-Did we keep you waiting long?
-Mm-mmm.

-Wait.
-Huh?

[Miki] Minato, your outfit…

-It looks so cute!
-[stammers]

I'm just saying
I've only ever seen you in casual clothes.

MESSY

[Minato] I… It's normal. Totally normal.

MINATO'S ROOM

Well, let's go.

H-Hold on, Minato!

We should go too, Koyun.

[Koyuki] Mm-hmm.

At Miki's suggestion, the four of us
are here at an amusement park.

[theme music playing]

EPISODE 10
SPRING

[Minato] Man, good thing it's warm today.

[Miki] I really love the feeling
of the air when the seasons are changing.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

MEMORIES LINKED TO THE CLIMATE

It feels like the air
at the entrance ceremony.

To me, it feels like the air on the day
my little brother and sister were born.

Oh! Were your siblings
born in the spring too?

Mm-hmm. Yep, April babies!

No way!
Koyun, you were born in February,

so you're basically
a year younger than Yota.

Oh. Guess you're right.

Huh? Wait, February just passed!

You should've told us!

Huh? Why would I do that?

SHOCKED

Excuse me,
can I get a birthday sticker, please?

Sure thing!

Huh? Well, it was last month.

STICK

-Look, over there.
-Hmm?

ZONED OUT
YOU CAN TAKE PICTURES!

That character looks bored.
Let's have it celebrate your birthday.

Get it to celebrate?

What is that thing?

-Come on! Go, go, go, go!
-Huh? Whoa!

[groans]

Yota really reminds me of…

Well, he reminds me of a dad.

-Here!
-[grunts]

-Hey, let's dance together!
-Bunny!

Uppi! Uppi!

-Silly bunny.
-[Koyuki] Help me.

[laughing]

[groans]

-[groans]
-I approve this ship.

CLICK CLICK

Oh, wow! They have
a ton of stuff for sale in here.

Oh my gosh, these little knick-knacks
are just so ridiculously tacky,

-and I kinda love them.
-[Uppi growling]

Tacky-looking, huh?

UPPI PIN SET


-Thanks for the purchase.
-Uppippi.

So the mascot's also the cashier?

I'm happy I bought my cute merch.
Mission accomplished!

-Okay, and the rides?
-Huh?

Since we got here,
we haven't been on a single ride.

Okay. But we're having so much fun.
[chuckles]

-Hey. That looks fun.
-Huh?

HOUSE OF HORRORS

[screams]

[whimpering]

Miki, would you relax?

It's just a prop. It isn't real.

Koyun, come on,
be a little more sensitive, would you?

[Miki sobbing]

Okay, this is definitely the kind of place

where coffins pop open
when you walk past.

-No thanks! [sobs]
-Hey now, it's gonna be fine. Come on.

[chuckles]

HORROR

Wow, they put a lot of work into this.
I bet Tsukiko would really like it.

This skull looks incredibly real.

Doesn't it, Amami…

Huh?

I don't wanna see this.
I don't wanna see this.

-Huh?
-I don't wanna see this!

[Yota shudders]

Yota. Keep me safe.

Um, okay.

BANG

DRIP

ROUTE

[Koyuki] Yota. Exit's that way.

EXIT

[panting]

Okay! I'm ready to go to the next one!

[Koyuki] Oh. And she's back.

[all exclaiming]

[buzzer sounds]

-Yay!
-[laughing]

[giggling, cheers]

[laughing]

[groans]

[groans]

Okay, let's go on that next.
I heard it's their main attraction.

It'll be fun.

-[Koyuki] Uh…
-Huh?

UGH…

Sorry, I'm gonna take a little break.

-Yeah, me too.
-What?

Guess I'm not cut out
for those high-G rides.

Me neither.

So, yeah…

Sorry. You two go on ahead.

JUST THE TWO OF YOU

[Yota] Koyun!

Looks like the wait time is
longer than I thought it'd be.

-Yota? Hmm?
-Hmm!

-[exclaiming]
-Watch out!

-[gasps]
-Hey.

Oh, wow, that was a close one!

Oh, I'm sorry.

Ah, no, it's fine.

[Miki] How do I put it?

-Yota's like…
-[chuckles]

[panting]

-Oh. Oh! Wow!
-Oh. Oh! Wow!

-[Miki giggling]
-[Yota] It's the ocean!

Man, just look at it sparkling.

Oh, but looking down is kind of scary.

[Miki] He seems like he's got it together,
but he's kind of an airhead.

He's like a big adorable baby.

[sighs]

[Koyuki] Miki and Yota.

They really looked like
a couple on a date, didn't they?

[giggles]

Hmm?

Wait. Me and her here together…

THUMP THUMP THUMP

-It's almost like it's a date.
-[Koyuki] Hey, Amamiya.

Are you feeling okay today?

Is it something I did?

Huh? No way!

I've been feeling fine all day.

UPPI SAMBA!

[Koyuki] Really?

*IN FACT, HE'S BEEN EXCITED
SINCE YESTERDAY

-I'm just a little motion sick.
-Hmm.

Then could it be…

-Huh?
-Hey. Koyun.

While we wait, let's do that.

Hmm?

So, Amamiya,
do you go to the arcade a lot?

Mm-hmm. I'm there all the time.

-All right!
-Hmm.

So innocent.

[grunts, exclaims]

I did it!

Wow! With one throw.

Congratulations, young man! You've won!

Now, pick a prize, any prize!

[Uppi] Uppi.

[Koyuki] They're all the same one. Hmm?

PRIZE

That one's cute.

Oh, then I'll take that one.

-[staff member] You got it!
-But…

Oh, but that's so silly.
He has the real dog at home.

THE REAL ONE

I only picked it

-because it's the one I would want.
-Here you go.

PUFFY

-Huh?
-It's for you.

Uh… [stammers]

It's to say happy birthday, Koyun.

Huh?

Huh? Huh? Huh?

No way. Huh? No. What? Hmm? Oh…

NOT USED TO BEING CELEBRATED

Huh?

PUFFY FLUFFY

WARM

Well, thank you.

SQUEEZE

So when is your birthday, Amamiya?

[gasps] Why? You planning something?

SWIFT

No, I can't do anything fancy.

[Miki] Hmm.

-Oh, there they are!
-Oh.

BAM

[Miki] Wh-What's going on here?

[both chuckle]

COME BACK AGAIN

[Miki] Ah, that was so much fun!

Now where should we go for dinner, guys?

I'll look something up. What do you like?

-[Miki] Walking left me starving.
-[Koyuki] So, uh…

-[Miki] If I had to pick, I'd say meat.
-Huh? What is it?

Amamiya, I kinda get the feeling…

you don't like horror?

[Minato] Huh?

Doesn't it, Amami…

Huh?

SILENCE

STUNNED…

[chuckles]

[Minato] What? I'm not scared of anything.

-Huh? How did you know?
-Hmm?

-Did my face give me away?
-[grunts]

I figured it was the kind of attraction
that was only meant to scare little kids.

Ugh. This is
the most embarrassing day of my life.

[Koyuki] At this moment, maybe because
his reaction wasn't what I expected…

[Minato groans]
Oh, no. What's with that face?

[chuckles] Sorry, it's just…

[Minato] Sorry, it's just what?

[Koyuki giggling]

[Minato] Huh? Hold on.

-Hey, come back here, you.
-[giggling]

[Miki] We'll never catch 'em!

[Koyuki] Honestly, it was the first time
that I thought a guy was cute.

NEW SEMESTER

[sighs]

GRADE 2 CLASS 2

Never heard of it.
I might check it out if it's cool.

-[Shimojima] Oh! Hi, Koyuki!
-Hmm?

Good morning! [chuckles]

Hey, Tsukiko!

[Shimojima] Oh, gosh, I'm so happy
we're in the same class again.

Let's have a great year, okay?

[Koyuki] Yeah, we got this.

There aren't many people
from Grade 1 Class 2.

I'm nervous. I don't know
very many people here at all.

Do you know anyone here yet, Koyuki?

Yeah, I know a few people.

-[Yota] Oh, Koyun.
-Huh?

Good morning.

-[gasps]
-Good morning, Yota.

[squeals]

Wow, must be nice to be so tall!

[ADMIRATION FOR TALL PEOPLE]

-[Koyuki] I had the same reaction myself.
-[Yota] Huh? What?

Oh, Yota.

[Yota] Oh, hey. Good morning, Minato.

Good morning.

-Morning to you too, Koyu--
-[Miki exclaims]

Oh, yay, you guys are here!

So this isn't a dream, right?

Are all of us really in the same class?

Looks like it. Morning.

Good morning!

Wait. Grade 2, Class 2, Number 2?

Two rhymes with a kitten's mew!

So you're "mew, mew, mew."

[Minato] Mew.

And if I'm Grade 2,
Class 2, Number 22, then…

-Mew, mew, mew, mew, mew!
-[chuckles]

[Shimojima] Wow! It's Azumi!

But Azumi is very…

[giggling]

-[laughing]
-…well, way different than I imagined!

Oh.

Hi there, nice to meet you.

My name is Miki.

You're…

You're just the coolest!

[echoing] …the coolest!

THRILLED
SQUEEZE

[squealing]

I'm happy for you, Miki.

[Miki] Sorry. I was just so…

Azumi is so different from
how I imagined her our first year.

Oh, boy. I know, man.
You were pretty obsessed with her.

-[Daichi] Minato! [sighs]
-Hmm?

Can you do something about hi--

[exclaims]

Why am I the only one
in a different class, man?

It's not fair!

He's been like this and won't stop.

-[sobbing]
-Well, Hayato, nice knowing you.

Bro, that's so cold of you!

-What's your name?
-It's Tsukiko.

[Miki] Little Tsukko!

I'm Yota. Nice to meet you.

[Koyuki] Fly away…

Hmm?

[sighs]

Looks like this year will be
a very lively class.

Very different from what I was used to
in Grade 1, Class 2.

But… I don't hate it.

-[Minato] Hey, Koyun.
-Hmm?

Did we do something to upset you?

Were we too loud?

Huh? No, not at all.

I just thought you guys
would be fine without me

and wouldn't notice that I stepped out.

-Huh?
-I'm sorry if I made you worry.

-She's so confusing.
-Huh?

LOVES BEING ALONE
LOVES HAVING FUN

-Uh…
-Hmm?

[Koyuki]
Will your friend be okay on his own?

HIS FRIEND

Yeah. Hayato's just being a drama queen.

[giggles] That's really funny.

[giggling]

Oh.

Well, you know, I…

I'm really glad that, uh,
you and I are in the same class.

Mm-hmm. Me too.

[grunts]

It's more comfortable to have
someone you know in your class.

"SOMEONE YOU KNOW"

Um, right. [chuckles]

Oh, sh**t. What class am I in?

[Koyuki] By the way, the second-years are

in charge of
the club introduction skits, right?

[Minato] Yeah. I don't wanna do it.

I know I'm totally gonna b*mb up there.

Maybe I'll go watch.

[Minato] Whoa, hold on. Don't you dare.

[giggling]

Peek-a-boo!

SQUEEZE

[chuckles] Hey, guess who?

[Minato] Guess who?

Oh. That voice.

Yuki.

You passed the test!

-I knew you would, Koyun.
-[Minato] "Koyun"?

[Koyuki] Plus, you're the only one
who sneaks up on someone like that.

[Minato] They know each other?

All right, buddy.

Don't be so handsy.

-[chuckles]
-Oh.

Hey, Amamiya, this here is Yuki.
Miki's little brother.

Hey, man. Yuki Azumi, that's me!

Huh? You're related to Miki?

My baby brother!

They're both childhood friends since
we all lived in the same neighborhood!

[Minato] Oh, so that's why.

Hmm… Amamiya?

Oh! Wait, are you Minato?

-Huh?
-Okay, say no more.

I've heard a lot about you from Miki.

-It's rude to point.
-That's right!

-Thank you for taking care of my sister.
-Uh…

-Wow! You're a really good-looking guy!
-[Minato] Uh…

Oh, right.
Are you in the same class as Miki?

STILL HERE

-Midorikawa, are you from Kansai?
-Yeah, I moved here for school.

You guys talk so cool.

You think so?

"What's your deal?"
I wanna try saying stuff like that.

Yeah, that's not how we sound at all.

-[door opens]
-[Yuki] Miki!

-Huh?
-Huh?

-Hey there!
-What's your deal?

[Daichi] That was better.

Jeez, come on, Yuki!
I said not to talk to me at school!

Huh? Whatever.

-I brought you this.
-Huh?

[Yuki] Your lunch. You forgot it again.

COMPLETE CHANGE

-You're my hero, Yuki!
-Yeah, I know.

So, you two don't come to school together?

No, because Yuki takes forever
to do his stupid hair in the morning.

Yeah… Well, what can I say?

Takes time to look this good.

Stop acting like you're some bad-boy
heartthrob, 'cause you're not!

-Yuki.
-Hmm?

Have you, uh, made friends?

-Hmm?
-Hmm?

["YOU'RE THE ONE TO ASK" LOOK]

I'm okay. There's someone
from junior high in my class, so…

Well, that's good.

[Minato] It seems like
she's more confident than usual.

NOW TALKING CASUALLY
USUALLY TRYING TO BE CAREFUL…

Is it that they're close
so she feels more like herself?

Oh. That's right.

Yuki, come here.

[Yuki] Whoa!

What? What is it?

-[Koyuki] Yota.
-Huh?

This is Yuki, Miki's kid brother.

What?

Oh, I can see that. They look alike!

You're so tall!

-But I know all about Yota.
-Huh?

I heard about you from Miki, dude.

-A… About me?
-[giggles]

-[Yuki] You are so tall…
-Man, she didn't have to go round

introducing him to all my friends.

[Yota]
Koyun told me the same thing actually.

[Koyuki chuckles]
He can reach higher than the handrails.

I'm so jealous.

[Minato] Those two…

have some special connection.

As for me…

It's more comfortable to have
someone you know in your class.

And back in junior high,
she used to date Igarashi.

[sighs]

What do I do?

I've been lying to myself for a while.

I don't wanna just be friends
or just make her smile anymore.

I just wish…

I wish I was the only guy she liked.

[Miki] Hey, guys, let's all join
the cheer squad for the sports festival.

Cheer squad?

Well, you see, I wanted to sign up
last year during the sports festival

but didn't, and I really regretted it.

I was determined
not to miss my chance this year.

So, anyone wanna join me?

Sure. I'll join.

-I guess.
-Whoo-hoo!

Minato, are you in for the cheer squad?

Uh, mm-hmm.

Yay! This is so exciting!

Wow, they all decided
to join the cheer squad

like it was just a quick trip
to the convenience store.

That's very Miki.

-[Miki] Koyun!
-Huh?

We're joining the cheer squad! Yeah!

Mm-hmm, so I heard.

Sounds like a lot of work, but good luck.

Huh?

Huh?

Uh…

-Huh?
-Huh?

-Uh, oh, no.
-[gasps]

BAM

But why?

Sorry.

[upperclassman]
Okay! Now, first and second years,

if you haven't mastered
the first part yet, come over here.

SELF-PRACTICE TIME

Why are you here, Hayato?

'Cause class one and class two
are in the same squad, okay?

INTUITIVE

You give a little whoosh
and a whoosh and then a bam!

-[Yuki] Koyun!
-Hmm?

I can help with the choreography.

-[Shimojima] This guy looks like trouble!
-Oh.

-Don't be afraid of him.
-Huh?

This is Miki's younger brother, Yuki.

Nice to meet you!

Oh. I see.

Don't steal my friends.

Hey, go back over there!

-Huh? Why?
-'Cause I said so.

[Yuki] Oh, now, she's so scary!
Koyun, help me!

[Koyuki] Be nice to each other, you two.

I guess I have no choice, so I'll bounce.

-Well, bounce a little faster. [strains]
-Yow!

See you, Yuki.

Hmm?

POKE

Practice was shorter than we thought, huh?

Knock it off.

My face is all sweaty
because I just worked out, you know.

You're mad because I poked you?

-Stare.
-Do you have club after this, Amamiya?

-[Minato] Yeah.
-Hmm?

[Koyuki]
Must be hard to do both the club and this.

It's not that bad.

[Shimojima] Wait.

Wait, wait, wait.

Could it be… I'm in their way?

Their third wheel?

Sneak away.

And what club are you in?

[gasps] He started a conversation with me!

I'm… I'm in art club.

[Minato] Were you
on the cheer squad last year too?

Oh, it's okay, Amamiya. You really
don't have to be so considerate of me!

She's here because I forced her to join.

[Shimojima] But what should I do?

-I don't wanna be a third wheel here.
-[chattering]

But I also really wanna see
what's going on.

INTEREST - CONSIDERATE
HEH HEH

I swear, man.
Practice took everything outta me.

It was so hard.

It's only the first day.

Those students still have energy.
Just be more like them.

[Hayato]
Well, of course. They're first-years.

CHATTER, CHATTER

Is it just me, or are they all flashy
and cool-looking this year?

*NEARSIGHTED

So what's up with Meiten?
We're not a cool school.

Huh. Now that you mention it,

I guess I did see
two lookin' a little too cool.

Like, you'd think
they were celebrities or something.

Seriously? Where are they?

-Over there.
-Hmm?

That's them.

The tall one with the bun
and the one with long hair.

Now that practice is over,
what are your plans, Akine?

Are you going home?

Not yet. But go on and head home, Momoka.

Huh?

-There's just someone I wanna talk to.
-Oh.

Later.

Hmm.

-Do a lot of people come to the library?
-Hmm?

-Not really. So it's always quiet…
-[Koyuki] I don't know why,

but that girl is staring at me.

[gasps]

-[Minato] Oh!
-Huh?

Hey there!

You're the new club manager, right?

Yeah.

[Koyuki] So she knows Amamiya.

[Minato] Are you coming to watch?

Yes, please,
I would really like to observe.

[gasps]

[melancholic music playing]

Koyuki. Yuishiro.

-[gasps]
-[Minato] Yuishiro?

Wait. You know Hikawa, Atagawa?

Small world.

Atagawa?

Yeah. Akine Atagawa.

-Huh?
-I went to the same junior high

as Yuki Azumi,
and he's told me a lot about you.

[Koyuki] Huh? Akine Atagawa?

No way.

Please. I would like us to be friends.

[Koyuki] Manatsu Atagawa's little sister.
