01x13 - Graduation

[bunniefuu]

Good morning.

Kyoko. Kyoko.

Miyamura-kun's here to

take you to school, Kyoko.

Good morning, Hori-san.

It was your idea to walk together.

You said we should leave early.

You were watching that horror special

into the wee hours of the morning.

Go get changed.

And wash your face, too.

Hey, Miyamura-kun, want some coffee?

Oh, thank you.

This is where the alleged m*rder took place.

Where did that happen?

Police are attempting to locate

the victim's younger brother,

A neighboring prefecture. How scary.

who may have information

pertinent to the case.

For our next story

Now for today's weather.

Man, it's cold.

Most of the country will have clear skies,

and cold northerly winds

will largely be kept at bay.

Thank you for the food.

Northern Japan will see

unseasonably warm temperatures.

She hasn't come back

She hasn't come back!

The east will see average

or above average temperatures.

Um, could I go knock on her door?

Western Japan, Okinawa, and the Amami

Islands will see normal temperatures.

Sure.

Wait, she hasn't come back yet?

Hori-san?

Hori-san, I'm coming in.

She fell back to sleep

You're asleep! You're asleep! Wake up!

Are you going to go

without brushing your hair?

No.

In that case, get up and turn around.

Hori-san, Hori-san! We're gonna be late.

Gotta go to the bathroom

Okay, I'll put on my shoes and wait for you.

See you!

Yeah. Have a good day.

M-Miyamura!

Styled

What happened to my hair?!

Well, it was a mess

I look like I'm going to a party!

I didn't think I could get

the ponytail right.

Oh, man!

Are you gonna take it down?

It doesn't go with my uniform!

So you're gonna take it down?

D-Does it look good?

It's not about how good it looks. I don't really know how

to do hair, but I worked really hard to make it nice

anyway, so I don't want it to just go to waste.

Yeah.

Fine, I'll keep it like this.

Yay!

So it's okay? It's not weird, is it?

No, it's not weird.

It's really cute.

I'm cute?

I didn't know I was so good at buns.

Hori, you look so cute!

I want a bun, too!

Hey, lookin' good. Did you do that yourself?

Like it?

I might try one, too.

I'm not sure your hair is long enough.

What? It's not?

He's right.

Oh

Kyon-Kyon, that's so cute!

What's the occasion?

Nothing special.

Did you have a change

of heart about something?

Her hair is probably too fine.

No, no, I just felt like it.

Hey, what are you staring at?

I figured it might be nice for a change.

Wh-What?

It's great! Are you gonna change your image?

President you don't have enough.

I might not be ready for that.

It wouldn't work out.

Am I lacking in something?!

Oh, Kono-san

Tied to the side

That might look better than a bun.

Everyone's different.

Thanks for waiting!

Everyone's been complimenting my hair.

Of course.

You look cute.

You're really the cutest of all.

BLUUUSH

Ouch!

Senseless violence!

You can do my hair again sometime.

Maybe I'll try a braid next time.

Does she like the bun?

Oh, can you handle that?

My neck feels cold.

Does it?

Pom

You'll ruin it!

What are they doing?

I can't stand how silky Miyamura's hair is.

It doesn't stick up funny,

and a comb passes right through it.

Is that so?

I'm just so jealous!

If it never sticks up funny, then make it.

So your solution is

"if there's no bread, just eat cake"?

I mean, if you tie hair up,

it kinda holds like that for a while, right?

It'd only be temporary,

but you could try that.

I get it!

That's easier than using a hair iron.

Don't go overboard, Kyo-chan

Ting

All done!

What did I do to deserve this?

There.

That should do it.

Thank you, Sengoku-kun.

Oh, it was nothing.

I thought we were keeping things organized,

but I guess we had more

things than we thought.

We're constantly getting

more papers and stuff.

But I must say

I was surprised to see you up on

a chair cleaning the top of the cabinets.

You could've gotten hurt.

But I wanted to dust up there.

You don't like dust?

Yoshikawa-kun and Iura-kun

have been coughing sometimes.

I thought it might be the dust.

Did I catch you in the middle

of talking about my awesomeness?

No, you didn't.

You did not.

No?!

Are you organizing stuff?

Yeah, since we won't be

using this room much longer.

Hey, this box looks like it might fall.

Oh, Sengoku-kun just put it

I'll take it down for now.

Does this go on top of the cabinet, too?

Ah, th-thank you!

That's a big help—

I know Ishikawa-kun's gotten

strong by doing sports,

but what about you, Iura-kun?

Where did you get that extra muscle?

Maybe from helping my

grandpa move furniture.

Furniture?!

I took out the trash.

Welcome back, Remi—

Stare

Hori-san?

Huh?

Ayasaki-san was throwing

things away in random bins.

Next time, separate the recyclables

before you give it to her.

Remi!

I'm sorry, Kyon-Kyon!

Thank you for helping her, Hori-san.

I don't think there will be

a next time, though.

I guess you're right.

Is Ayasaki-san around?

Oh, everyone's here.

What is it? Do you need me

for something, Yanagin?

N-No, I just found a cell phone

I recognized in the trash area.

I saw you put it down without looking

when we were throwing stuff away.

Oh!

Thanks, Yanagin!

It's nothing.

Are you organizing in here?

I can help.

Yanagi-kun, this stuff is pretty heavy—

Someone might trip on this,

so I'll move it over to the corner.

Miyamura-kun, I need you here!

What's with him?

He wants someone weaker than him here

to make him feel better.

What a small man.

You called?

Whoa, he's carrying something

that looks heavy!

Miyamura-kun, what is that?

What're you doing with it?

Yasuda told me to take it.

He's giving back everything he's

confiscated during the school year.

Oh, like magazines and stuff.

Yasuda couldn't carry it himself.

Depressed

Well, there's not that big

a difference between us all.

Oh?

Me & Yasuda (?) ← Yanagi-kun ← Miyamura-kun ← Iura-kun ← Ishikawa-kun ← Kyo-chan (Hall of Fame)

The hall-of-famer is saying something.

What?

Sengoku-kun is fine the way he is!

I'll get stronger for him!

You're amazing, Remi.

R-Remi, I appreciate it,

but I like you the way you are, too.

Hey

Yasuda made me bring this here.

Is Yasuda even weaker than Yoshikawa?!

Yoshikawa-san, I'll take that!

Thanks, Yanagi-kun.

This is quite heavy.

Yanagi-kun, be careful!

Chagrin

Are you okay?

(Confirmed)

Now I feel sorry for him.

Hey, the heavy stuff is all on one side.

That'd make it hard to carry.

I'd probably drop it, too.

Thanks, guys

There's a postcard in here.

It was probably stuck in a magazine.

Maybe this one.

Hey, grab that pile.

Oh, I haven't seen this in forever!

Miyamura, once we're done

Yeah.

What's wrong, Iura?

Sengoku, don't start reading it!

But doesn't it take you back?

I think

I want to go to the beach.

That's right! We were talking about going.

Indeed! Someone can get

a license and drive us.

In a car? Awesome!

Our troop will have fun

no matter where we go!

Graduation

Don't call us a troop.

Are we ants?

Iura-kun, how about "group" instead?

Yeah, hey, hey! That's it, Akane!

Karaoke

I know, right?

Wanna check out that shop

we saw in the magazine?

Wait, for real?

Yeah!

Let's go!

Sota, what do you want to eat today?

A rice omelet!

What, again?

Yep, again!

I wonder if we still have ketchup

Kyo-chan.

Mathematics II

Thanks.

You're finally giving it back!

You said you wouldn't have math today.

You're supposed to give it back

right after class ends.

Um

Sengoku-kun was helping

the teacher after class.

Oh, I see.

That makes sense.

See you.

Yeah.

Oh, Hori!

Are you free after school?

Um

Hori likes to go straight home after school.

Right?

Yeah, sorry.

Oh, okay. No worries.

Some of us are getting together to hang out,

so I was wondering if you wanted in.

That's all.

Looks like it's just us!

Toru really likes you, y'know?

Oh, come on. He just invited me to hang out.

Yeah, but how many times does that make?

You get invited out all the time.

I'm just there to increase the headcount.

What?

It's so windy!

That scared me!

Maybe I'll close the window.

Yeah.

The next thing I knew,

she was wearing the same shoes.

The heck?! That's how she's

trying to get friendly with you?

I just pretended not to notice.

That's what I'd do.

And then

Oh, sorry.

No, I was

And then, even with the same shoes,

she starts a fight with me.

Huh? Why?

Get this It was about takoyaki.

Huh?!

Sorry we ran into you.

No, it's okay. Thank you.

Are you on the student council?

Yeah.

Must be a lot of work.

It's nothing but odd jobs.

There's someone on the roof.

I bet it's nice up there.

Not that I have any business going.

It's so cold!

Hurry up!

Wow

That guy has no intention

of participating whatsoever.

Hori!

Yeah.

Student Council

Here.

Skull Ninja

Konoha

Thank you!

Sengoku said you'd have a copy.

There are more in the student council room.

Help yourself anytime.

Manga isn't allowed in school, so

the student council shouldn't have any!

But I'll still borrow it.

It'll be our secret.

Oh, Hori-san.

What are you guys up to?

I'm borrowing a book from Kono-san.

It's manga, though.

Really? You can come today?

Yep.

Great! I'll invite Shu, too.

Mama's coming home early today.

I'm gonna sing my heart out!

Just don't hog the mic.

What's wrong, Kyo-chan?

Karaoke

You're coming, right, Sakura?

I get the feeling that we're missing someone.

Maybe just to listen.

But you sing anime songs while

cleaning the council room.

Oh.

How do you know that?!

Yanagi!

We got to be friends in our elective class.

Thank you for having me.

If he's bothering you, just tell us.

Yeah, spill it.

How would I be bothering him?

H-He's not bothering me at all!

Bye-bye.

See you tomorrow.

Crap, my phone

Um, what's his name?

Never mind. I'll get it myself.

Here.

Th-Thank you.

We found each other

Hey, Miyamura

Hmm?

What is it, Hori-san?

Nothing.

Sorry, I was daydreaming.

Are you okay?

What's got you so spaced out?

All of

All of the coincidences that had to

happen to make this moment possible.

If even one hadn't happen, the world

might be completely different.

If that's true

Maybe it was destiny

that brought us together like this.

Maybe.

I bet that no matter what we'd done,

we would have found each other.

Katagiri High School 63rd Graduation Ceremony

Every day was new and different.

I won't pretend I remember all of it.

Most of the memories have

faded and vanished,

but many are just as vivid

as the day they happened.

Katagiri High School 63rd Graduation Ceremony

Katagiri High School 63rd Graduation Ceremony

I'm sure they're always going to be.

Katagiri High School 63rd Graduation Ceremony

Katagiri High School 63rd Graduation Ceremony

And starting now

Miyamura.

We're going out for sushi today. Wanna come?

Yeah!

Okay! Let's go!

Kyosuke will be glad to have you.

He'll be obnoxious, of course.

Great!

We're closer than before.

We used to be so shy we couldn't

look each other in the eye.

But now we can laugh together

and touch, even

without a particular reason.

I don't really know what

we're thinking when we do.

Even now, I'm still not sure.

Saying "life" feels a little overblown.

You might laugh at that.

But if we can walk the path ahead together,

I think that would be so wonderful.

When you look down at your own shadow,

don't forget that I'm by your side.

Don't forget that there's

a light shining on you.

And when I hang my head,

I'd like you to remind me

that I'm not alone.

Tell me.

Hey, Miyamura.

The sky looks so blue today.

It feels like we could go wherever we want.

I've never known the world like this.

I never knew there was

something so steadfast inside me.

Come on, Miyamura!

Look how pretty the cherry

blossoms are, Miyamura.

There's a gentle breeze.

Thank you for helping me see so much.

I'm overjoyed.

The words to describe it would be

so ephemeral they might just fly away.

So, just like the petals falling around us,

I want to take my time letting you know.

Journey

Katagiri High School

Miyamura?

Oh, sorry. Were you asleep?

No, I'm awake.

It's okay.

Really?

Yeah.

Okay.

I'm not sure I get why,

but I just need to come, right?

Okay.

Shortcake, Mont Blanc crêpes,

cheesecake, choux cream

Okay, I'm ready!

Fell back asleep!!

4 hours late

Hey, it's my bro!

H-H-H-H-Hori-san?

She was saying you're really late.

Oh, is that all?

We had our graduation ceremony yesterday,

so we were gonna take it easy today.

I brought some cakes. Want one?

Cake?

Do you have chocolate?

Oops No, sorry.

You're here, Miyamura.

JOL

Y-Yes! Sorry for being late.

I, uh, brought cake!

Maybe we can all have some

Silence

Is she angry?

Okay.

Great. I'll go get some plates.

I'll bring the cakes.

Hori-san?

I've never done this before.

What?

Hey, can I have the strawberry one?

Oh, sure. Whichever you like.

Wh-What do you think?

She gave up the girly style!

It looks great!

L-Liar! You hesitated!

I mean it! It looks really great on you!

They didn't understand what I asked for!

About this long

I didn't think they'd cut it this short!

Easy, easy

You look cute with short hair.

I wanted you to be the first person

to see it. That's why I called you.

I look like a boy.

Are you sure you don't mind?

I was thinking of getting a haircut, too.

Liar.

No, it's true.

Dad, we got cake!

Oh, it's Kyosuke. Welcome home.

Yeah

What gives? Are you breaking up?

Where'd that come from?

Miyamura-kun, did something happen?

I went to the salon where

Hori-san usually goes.

So it's no big deal?

She wanted to normalize our hair lengths.

Gals and guys can have their hair

however long they want.

She gets hung up on the weirdest stuff.

What was that?

She paid to have it done.

Oh?

Kyoko-chan, your dad

might need a haircut, too.

Okay, then cut it.

So cold!

I've never had my hair this short

before, so it's kinda funny.

Feels awkward, does it?

A little

When I'm with Hori-san, I get to

have all sorts of new experiences.

It's great that you and Kyoko match.

Maybe I really should get a haircut.

Should I cut it for you?

Maybe not.

Hori-san
