You and I Are Polar Opposites (2026) s01e01 Episode Script

Sup!
Hey, Morimo!
Morning.
Sup!
Hey, Mini! Sup!
What're you doing?
Goofing off.
Tani-kun! Morning!
Morning!
That's so creepy.
No one asked you!
Move, or I'll crush
those hair buns of yours!
Stop it!
If you two don't hurry up,
you'll be late!
I'm going!
Morning, Suzuki.
Azuma! Morning.
You came together with Taira?
We did not!
Morning, Nabesato!
- Morning.
- Good morning!
Hey there, Yamada!
Hey!
Oh! T-Tani-kun! Good morning!
Good morning.
Suzuki, you're so loud!
Proper greetings will save the world!
Hey, my eyelashes look
good today, right?
I can't tell.
Why not use eyelash extensions then?
I could, but I prefer my real eyelashes.
And the mascara comes off
if you sweat, cry, or rub it.
So, I just end up wondering
which brand I should try
and stuff like that.
Tani-kun, what do you think?
How should I know?
You're icy as always today, Tani-kun!
Why are you always asking Tani-kun
about a topic he’s clearly not interested in?
Exactly.
Well, he always shuts me down
so bluntly that I can’t help myself.
If you ever need help
picking mascara, I'll help!
No need.
Shut down again!
He's ruthless.
Stop bothering Tani-kun.
Tani-kun, I'm so sorry.
To be honest
I'm desperately in love with you!
YOU AND I ARE POLAR OPPOSITES
Did you finish your
English homework?
I only did the parts
I thought I might get right.
You must finish them all.
Sitting in the seat next
to mine is Tani-kun.
He seems like a quiet guy
with glasses to everyone else,
GROUP ASSIGNMENT ANALYZE
but Tani-kun speaks his mind clearly.
GEOGRAPHIC CHALLENGES IN OUR TOWN
but Tani-kun speaks his mind clearly.
AND MAKE PROPOSALS
but Tani-kun speaks his mind clearly.
THWACK
The teacher will probably flag
this part, so it needs to be redone.
Huh? Why? Does it really matter?
And he has the same attitude
no matter who he's with.
HE'S NOT PUSHY - FWIP
HE'S NOT PUSHY - FWIP
Give me your work.
HE DOESN'T GROVEL, EITHER - FWIP
Your work.
HE DOESN'T GROVEL, EITHER - FWIP
Thanks for collecting them.
HE DOESN'T GROVEL, EITHER - FWIP
Thanks.
Like the last time we changed seats
FRONT - BACK
Okay. Change seats.
A MIRACLE
I'm right next to him!
This is crazy! What do I do?!
TENSE SMILE
I hope you'll treat me well, neighbor!
TENSE SMILE
Likewise.
TRYING TO MAKE SMALL TALK
The thing about being in the front row
WITH RELATABLE ANECDOTES
is that it’s actually hard to see the blackboard.
I'll read anything you
can't make out, 'kay?
I think I'll be fine.
Okay, then!
Tani-kun doesn't adjust
his behavior without good reason.
I just really admire that!
Suzuki, which one do you like?
Huh? Sorry,
I wasn't listening.
Hey!
B-But, I mean
I think that a person would rev up
the crowd better than an audio recording.
Right, Tani-kun?
I have no idea.
Tani-kun, I think you should just
tell her if you're sick of her nonsense.
It's fine.
See? He says it's fine!
WHEW
Whew! What a relief!
Tani-kun, I'm sorry!
I love you, and yet
I want to talk to you
normally, and yet
I'm always worrying about
how others see me,
so I can't talk in a way
that reveals that I like you!
I admire Tani-kun so much, but
You and I are polar opposites.
Right! After school,
let's all go to KingBurg!
Hey, Suzuki!
You'll come, too, right?
I have to do my homework.
EXCITED
I'm totally going!
YAAAAAAAAAY
Yay!
Suzuki, will you let me
copy your homework?
Again?
Please save me!
Oh, fine. You're hopeless.
Thank you!
Oh, Suzuki! Your story
yesterday made me laugh!
Suzuki-san, do you mind
if I follow your account, too?
I didn't post anything weird, did I?
Sure! Please do!
But, you know
Tani's really smart, right?
Are you talking about
the group work today?
Right, I saw him heading to cram school.
Huh? Is he aiming for UTokyo?
I don't know about that.
He's really amazing, isn't he?
He lives in a different
world from the rest of us.
Don't lump me in with you.
Suzuki's the closest to
Tani-kun in our group, right?
What? You think so?
That's gross!
Are you okay?
I'm just at an age when stuff
catches in my throat easily.
You're too young for that.
QUIRKY ACTOR - SUDAKEN
Oh! SudaKen won
QUIRKY ACTOR - SUDAKEN
Most Beloved Actor for a second time!
Girls really like the
mischievous types, huh?
Hey! SudaKen's the only one
who's boyfriend material!
There it is! Suzuki is
stanning SudaKen again.
Some say reading the room
is for other people's sakes
but it isn't.
I do it completely for my own sake.
And yet
Sometimes it tires me out.
Why is that?
I should head home.
T-Tani-kun, are you heading
home now? It's late, isn't it?
I just made a stupid yawning face just now!
There was committee work
to be submitted.
Tani-kun, which way do you walk home?
Out the gate and turn right.
Same!
GLANCE GLANCE
No one's watching
Tani-kun
This is crazy!
Want to go part
of the way home together?
My heart's gonna burst
out of my chest!
So, Tani-kun,
your house is this way, too?
We've never ended up
together before, though.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm always running around
goofing off after school.
No wonder I never saw you.
And you have student council
stuff to do too, right?
Yeah.
And, um, we went to
KingBurg the other day,
and the burger was huge!
It didn't even fit in the bun.
The buns were basically
served on the side, you know?
I had no idea how to eat it!
Wait, is this even an interesting topic?
Was it good?
A QUESTION!
Yeah! It was! Super good!
I know! Tani-kun, want to grab
one with me? Just kidding!
Sure.
Huh?
What did he just say?
Is he just being polite?
Or trying to be considerate?
No, Tani-kun isn't that kind of person.
Say something
Say something back to him, me!
It's no good!
My heart is pounding so hard! I just can't!
BMP
My heart is pounding so hard! I just can't!
SHOCK
Uh, um, I
It can't be
What is this?
A dream?
What do I do?
Right now, I'm
My hands are totally sweaty.
My heartbeat is so loud
I can hear it pounding in my ears!
Am I dying?
I'M GOING THIS WAY
OH! I'M GOING THE OTHER DIRECTION!
I don't remember how
I THINK WE PROBABLY SAID SOMETHING LIKE THIS
I got home after that.
TANI-KUN, SEE YOU LATER!
I got home after that.
YEAH. LATER
I'm ho—
GLOOM
Whoa! Don't sleep in the entranceway!
Oh Nii-chan
FLAIL - GYAAAAAAH
FLAIL - GYAAAAAAH
Creepy!
FLAIL - GYAAAAAAH
DAZED
We held hands
Aren't you going to eat?
If you're not gonna eat,
then gimme!
And
He was the one who grabbed mine!
This is crazy! This is crazy!
This is crazy!
How am I supposed
to go to school tomorrow?!
My heart is racing so fast!
There's no way I can sleep!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Shut up!
SNORE
ZZZZZZZZZZZZ
THUMP
Ow!
Oww
Morning? You're kidding.
Wait, what time is it?
TMPTMPTMPTMPTMPTMPTMP
I didn't have any absences or tardies yet!
What?!
Where is everyone?
EVERYONE
BROTHER, MOM, DAD
IT'S ALL RIGHT TO BE LATE SOMETIMES,
BUT MAKE SURE YOU EAT BREAKFAST. MOM
Mom!
And it's more like midday
than morning now.
CALM
BEING SO LATE ACTUALLY RELAXES HER
There's no reason to rush at this point.
I should warm this up.
It's already lunchtime,
but good morning!
Suzuki, it's rare
for you to be late.
You could've just taken
the day off at this point.
But I want to do our
elective P.E. class, you know?
What a moron.
Oh, Suzuki! You're here!
Yeah! Sup!
Hey, are you and Tani dating?
Huh?
Gapacho said you two walked
home together yesterday.
Who the heck is Gapacho?
It wasn't someone else?
Gapacho knows what he saw!
Not our concern.
Hey, hey, hang on, Yamada.
Right now,
we're in the "might be mutual,
but not yet confirmed" phase.
The most delicate phase of all!
It's not something you
can poke at for fun!
I'm playing for keeps here!
And, I mean
- Someone saw us?
- So?
Saw us where?
Oh, um
It's not like that!
You know
That's my seat.
Can I grab my notebook?
Huh? Oh, sorry. I'll move.
It's fine.
We'll go to the next class after all.
R-Right.
It couldn't be worse.
The body breaks down carbohydrates,
and blood sugar levels rise.
He heard me denying it.
It was so beyond rude!
You have it all wrong!
I didn't mean to say it like that!
Tani-kun, I'm so sorry
No, no, no! I could never!
But I want to apologize ASAP!
What do I do?
FWIP- DROP
What do I do?
FWIP- DROP
I hope Tani-kun doesn't feel awful right now.
I hope Tani-kun doesn't feel awful right now.
I hate this.
Suzuki, you haven't
SHFF - POING
picked up any of the shuttles!
Just pick them up!
ANGST ANGS
ANGST ANGS
Oh, why am I always so
Sorry, Suzuki!
SWEA
Talk
SWEA
I have to talk to him!
SWEA
I have to clear things up!
SWEA
But here?
Here, in front of everyone?
Suzuki-san.
BA-DUMP
T-Tani-ku
Please forget what
happened yesterday.
I'm sorry.
Come on, Suzuki!
This popcorn coupon expires today!
Hey, weren't you just
talking to Tani?
You really do get along, huh?
Suzuki?
You, too?
Do it again! Do it again!
I
am in love with Tani-kun.
What?
It's a one-sided love.
Huh?
And I asked him to walk home
with me yesterday.
Does that seem weird to you?
Huh?
SO LOUD
What?!
SO LOUD
What? You should've told me!
Anyone would think you just
met up on the way home!
Who would think
it was a serious situation?!
Huh? Hang on
GLOOM
GLOOM
I feel like I said something
GLOOM
I shouldn't have at the lunch break
GLOOM
You're always being insensitive.
So, Tani-kun already left.
Is that okay?
It's not okay!
You might make it if you run!
This is serious, Suzuki!
Go get him!
Don't worry about the popcorn!
Sorry! I really don't care!
Hey!
Run, Suzuki! Show us speed
that won't shame your name!
You're Suzuki, after all!
SLOW
SLOW
So slow.
SLOW
You can do it!
Look ahead of you!
Go!
What's this?
Saying how I feel out loud
was this easy to do?
I gave in to temptation.
NO USE REGRETTING IT NOW.
NO USE REGRETTING IT NOW.
That's all I can say.
Suzuki-san sits next to me.
She always talks to me,
and I thought she was so casual
because I didn't really matter to her.
Want to go part
of the way home together?
That's what I thought, but
Today
I thought she might not come to school.
It's not like that!
Before I knew it, I grew used to
Suzuki-san talking to me.
A day without her
Tani-kun!
is just too quiet.
I love you!
T-Tani-kun, sorry that I pester you
with stupid stuff.
And I'm sorry for what I said
in front of everyone today!
I didn't know how
to talk to you, Tani-kun.
I was scared that everyone
would find out how I felt.
I'm a really pathetic human being.
But
Tani-kun, I want to spend
more time with you.
When you held my hand,
it made me so happy.
So happy that I couldn't sleep
last night and overslept.
Wait, I guess that means
I could sleep, huh
Suzuki-san.
I
When you're not talking,
I don't know what to do.
That's the kind of pathetic
human being I am.
Are you okay with that?
That face you're making
is so adorable!
Hey
Well, I mean, it's just
WAAAHHH
Of course I'm okay with that!
I feel like I've made you cry.
Well, that's because you actually did.
Mascara, was it?
It'll come off, right?
You were really listening to me!
This is crazy!
- My heart's all fluttery!
- Huh? Why? What caused it?
Oh, honestly!
