Hey, Kohei. It might just be my imagination but
What is it, Kitahara?
The way they're looking at us is different.
I thought so too.
I wonder why.
I don't know.
We're the same as we always are.
Right? We're the same as we always are.
Ask them what's wrong.
-Me? You go ask them.
-No.
They might reject us if we try talking to them.
That'd hurt.
Oh, dear.
Hey! Got a minute?
Don't talk to us!
We're going to kill you, jerk!
I told you so.
This is obviously strange!
Nothing strange for a first-time introduction.
What kind of terrible first-time introductions
have you experienced?
Something must have happened.
Like what?
That's what I want to find out.
But no one's going to talk to us.
Why don't you ask Kotegawa?
I can't. Not dressed like this.
She'd just glare at me.
Yeah. Like you're a piece of trash.
She's been in a bad mood
ever since the Izu Spring Festival.

What? What's happening to me?
Am I going to die tomorrow?
This isn't normal!
And I feel like these guys are even more
bloodthirsty now.
Kotegawa definitely knows something about this.
Hey, Chisa.
What, Iori?
I want to ask you something.
Right now?
We can talk in your room
after we go home.
What's going on?
This is scary!
Tell me! What's going on?
I don't know anything.
That can't be true!
I have nothing to do with this.
BREAK UP WITH CHISA KOTEGAWA,
OR WE'LL KILL YOU
You have nothing to do with it?
It says "Break up."
Are you guys dating?
Of course not--
From before the school festival.
They'll kill you if you don't break up.
What will you do?
I don't know.
I'll do what they say--
Thanks, Iori!
You've decided to risk your life for me!
What? What are you up to?
Don't shout! You'll bother the others.
-What's wrong, Kohei?
-Well, it's nothing big
-You mean this doesn't involve me?
-Yeah.
We're just after that perverted bastard.
I see.
I just remembered I have something to do.
Wait, Kohei!
Don't talk to me!
They'll think we know each other!
Know each other? We're best friends!
Let me go!
This doesn't involve me!
How can you say that?
By the way, Kohei started dating Azusa Hamaoka from
OWU two weeks ago!
Kitahara!
Hey, you. Since you're my friend,
let's think about how to fix this situation together.
Okay. You're right.
I'm going to kill you someday.
Anyway, Chisa--
I'M GOING TO HAVE LUNCH CHISA
She ran!
Be passionate, my friends
Shine bright with the sun
Dive into the blue sky
And let summer take it all
GRAND BLUE DREAMING
Be passionate, my friends
Shine bright with the sun
Dive into the blue sky
And let summer take it all
An expanding ocean of possibilities
Summer is our amore
We'll swear to the crystal clear sky
Summer is in our hands
Be passionate, my friends
Shine bright with the sun
Dive into the blue sky
And let summer take it all
With a cheerful heart
Don't mess with me
Keep going even if you fall
And let summer take it all
BREAKUP NOW
I've never gotten so many letters before.
Even guys from other departments sent some.
What are you going to do?
I don't know.
Kitahara! Imamura! Got a minute?
I'm Nojima, from your class.
I'm Yamamoto.
So who got the threat letter?
Or is it for both of you?
Are you already used to getting them?
You guys aren't normal.
You're in trouble, right?
We're friends from the same department.
I wanted to help.
Really?
You guys are nice!
But in return, I want you to teach me.
Teach you what?
I'm talking about that.
How even a guy as perverted as you
can use hypnosis to get a girlfriend.
You know how, right?
Are you mocking me?
You don't know!
How is it possible you have a girlfriend?
He's a total pervert!
All of you, leave! Idiots!
So you don't know?
-Of course I don't know!
-I see.
You guys! He doesn't know hypnosis.
That's so disappointing.
What's up with them?
So, what do we do?
The small mountain behind the clubrooms.
No one goes there.
Right. Let's go there.
Oh, no. They're talking about where to bury me.
They found out you don't know hypnosis. That's it.
Hey, Kitahara!
Let's play hide-and-seek!
Imamura, you too!
No way! That's terrifying!
Don't get me involved!
Seeing that expression on your face is enough
reason for us!
Listen, Kohei's not involved,
and you've made a mistake about me!
Begging for your life?
I've never heard anyone say
"begging for your life" before.
Chisa and I, it's not what you're thinking!
But you've been friends since childhood.
At most, we're school friends.
But you're together 24 hours a day.
We're not dating!
But you live together.
Hey! Bring the shovel!
-And the gloves and the towel!
-Yeah!
You just wanted to save yourself.
I'm telling you, it's not what you think!
Chisa and I--
I got it. I got it.
Tell us the details later.
You're just saying that!
She's the only girl in a department full of guys!
How dare you--
And you're dating that cute girl from OWU, Imamura!
Calm down. We can explain!
Shut up and clench your teeth!
If you kill us, it'll be at your expense!
Begging for your life again?
No No! That's not--
It's that--
We'll plan a mixer for you!
From now on, you're our best friends!
So that's why
We want to ask Azusa to introduce us to her friends!
What do you mean, "That's why"?
You guys are always having fun.
Well
Please!
We thought you'd help us!
Why don't you ask Chii-chan?
That's
Chisa, please!
Die 20,000 times.
It's just like you said!
She's been in a bad mood recently!
It can't be helped.
I'll introduce them, on one condition.
Really?
We'll do anything!
Okay. Well, then
You have to act like you're Chii-chan's boyfriend
until Chii-chan accepts it.
Azusa, why are you
adding that as a condition?
I wonder why
What do you think?
Well, if it'll save my life
Good!
Then I'll bring a girl who's perfect for you guys.
I'm back!
Hey.
Welcome back.
So, Azusa
Where's your friend?
Yeah. I brought her.
Okay. Come in.
Hi.
What? What?
She's amazing!
-Thank you!
-You saved us!
No big deal.
Kohei! Bring some alcohol!
I mean tea!
Do you like anime?
Since she's here,
Does that mean she wants to join?
How'd you find her
at this time of year?
I didn't find her.
Then who found her?
It was Iori and the others.
I'm Aina Yoshiwara,
a freshman at OWU.
I'm quitting Tinkerbell
and joining Peek-a-Boo!
Yoshiwara?
Aina?
-You're--?
-Cakey!
Stop calling me that!
-I see.
-So that's why.
After the Izu Spring Festival,
she said she wanted to join our club.
All right, Iori! Don't forget our promise, okay?
No, this is a scam.
It's just Cakey after she shed her skin!
You guys are so rude!
Anyway, nice to meet you.
Yeah. Nice to meet you.
Let's welcome her!
Hey, Kohei.
Yeah. Are we going to
have her set up the mixer?
Grand Blue Dreaming
The day has finally come.
Do you think it's really okay to let Cakey--
I mean, Yoshiwara handle this?
Hey! Thanks for waiting!
So? Which school are the girls from?
According to the girl who's introducing us,
they're all freshmen at OWU.
OWU? Then they must be good!
What's she like?
Her? She wears a lot of makeup--
Well, she's really different when she's serious
and when she's relaxing.
-I see! I see!
-So she knows what she wants!
She looked unhappy about it.
Why was she so reluctant
to introduce her friends?
It's not normal to ask a new member
to set up a mixer.
-Please make an exception!
-You're saving our lives!
You guys don't understand.
Of course she wouldn't want to.
Why?
Introducing a pervert to your friends
I'd be too embarrassed to do it.
Didn't you say we were best friends
the other day?
You know you're going to a mixer
with us, right?
You have a girlfriend!
Of course she doesn't want to introduce you!
Right?
No! Chisa's not--
You have to act like you're Chii-chan's boyfriend
until Chii-chan accepts it.
Chisa's not?
Chisa is my girlfriend.
Are you bragging?
We'll throw you in the ocean, you idiot!
Kitahara's job today is to help us get girlfriends.
Since you already have a girlfriend,
it's natural.
Hey. We're here.
Here?
Let's go!
Wait!
-Let's decide on a sign first.
-A sign?
Yeah. We're going to point our chopsticks
towards the girl we like.
-I see.
-It'll prevent fighting over girls.
And if you don't like any of the girls,
the sign for "I give up"
is pointing your chopsticks
towards yourself.
That's a good idea.
Your glasses are real.
Quit joking around.
Yamamoto?
I don't need signs like that.
But--
I made a promise to myself.
I don't care who it's with!
I'm going to lose my virginity!
What a man.
He's like some honorable soldier.
He's just a piece of scum
who'd sleep with any girl.
Are you ready?
Yeah!
We're going to a new world!
Nice to meet you!
Cakey! You bastard!
Nice to meet you!
No way!
The girls are--
Just give up for today!
It's hot today, isn't it?
-You're right.
-Let's have a toast!
What do you want to drink?
What should I have?
I'll start with some beer.
Yamamoto!
You're going to proceed?
You're a stereotypical virgin!
Cheers!
-Let's introduce ourselves.
-Okay.
I'll go first.
I'm Kiyoko Kamio, a freshman at OWU.
What are your hobbies?
Horse racing and pachinko.
Yamamoto!
You want it that bad?
I can't stop my tears!
I'm Keiko Suzuki.
I'm Kanako Iida.
I'm Aina Yoshiwara.
Hey, look how hard Yamamoto's trying.
Yeah. We should at least make this exciting.
He's acting so manly.
I'm Iori Kitahara, a freshman at Izu U!
I'm Kohei Imamura!
I'm Hajime Nojima!
I know it's still early, but
-I'm going to sit over here!
-I'm over here!
You guys!
Leave her to me.
We're going to do our best to help you.
We're praying for your success.
I have good friends.
This is for the best.
The problem is what to do with this monster.
Kitahara, what do you want to drink?
You know how to do your job, right?
Of course.
We're going to make things fun and exciting!
You look really different from the other day.
Really?
Oh, I see.
How is she different?
Her clothes and her makeup
She looks totally different.
That's because this is a mixer.
I put a lot of effort into getting ready.
You hag!
Get rid of some of that effort right now!
The drinks are here, you two!
You guys need to relax.
Our job is to turn our brave friend into a man.
You--?
How can we help him?
Let's get him to call her by her first name.
You want to break the ice.
Good idea.
Here we go!
Stay with me, guys!
Got it!
Let's do this again!
I'm Iori Kitahara.
You can call me Iori.
I'm Hajime Nojima.
You can call me Hajime.
You can call me Kohei.
Then you can call me Kanako.
My nickname is Kikko.
I'm Shinichiro.
Then you can call me--
Hold on.
What's wrong, Yoshiwara?
You know
If we change what we call each other,
they'll get the wrong idea.
Why is she saying that now?
She messed up our plan!
But, Kitaha--
I mean, Iori.
If that's what you want
Not at all, you makeup maniac.
Kitahara! We ordered a bottle!
You drink a lot!
Hey! Don't forget your job!
You're right!
This is all for our friend.
I really
I really want to call you Aina.
He did it!
I see.
You know, Iori
What?
I couldn't hear you just now.
Can you say it again?
Don't give in, Kitahara!
You're heartless!
Pardon my reach.
Here's your ramen salad.
What's that?
Haven't you heard of ramen salad?
First time for me.
Can I take a selfie?
Kanako, you really like taking selfies.
-What kind of selfies do you take?
-Like this.
Kanako said she made this.
This girl is pretty!
That can't be true.
You're right. That's impossible.
So your hobby is taking photos?
I like movies too.
I like movies too!
You guys
Movies are fun, right?
Retreat, Nojima.
Did you watch any movies recently?
You can't have her, Kitahara.
I watched Koi Moyo the other day.
Hold on!
I saw that movie too.
He switched his target!
Oh, that one!
That was good!
I know how you feel!
This is stupid. She's just a 3D girl.
We're not from the same dimension--
What's this DVD?
This anime changed my life!
Monster Magic Girl Lalako!
No way
Why?
You like that movie?
That explosion scene is great!
No! The sinking scene was better!
The scene where she jumps off!
It's a love story
Hey, you.
Yes?
Do you want to come over to my place
after this?
What?
I have to go to the bathroom.
-Me too!
-Me too!
Me too!
You guys! I thought you were helping me!
Who said so?
Don't complain!
Calm down, you guys.
Kitahara!
We're friends, right?
-But--
-Jealousy won't lead you anywhere.
Teamwork is the key to victory.
What are you talking about?
Talking fancy won't get me a girlfriend!
If one of us becomes friends,
we can do another mixer.
Today's mixer is for tomorrow.
-I see.
-Kitahara
Tomorrow's mixer
is for the day after that.
You're right.
Do you understand now?
-Of course!
-Let's claim victory together!
Let's show them our bond!
I watched that drama too.
Really? It was good, right?
There must be a way to stop him
from stealing the show.
I won't allow him to claim victory by himself.
Imamura?
Our bond can't have a show-stealer.
In the name of justice,
I'm going to dispel your anger and regret.
Imamura
Hey, Kitahara.
What, Kohei?
I heard some gossip
Are you getting along with your girlfriend these days?
You devil!
You bastard!
You broke a mixer taboo!
What did you say, you piece of trash?
Are you that jealous of my success?
But we're a team.
I have friends who support my success.
No! They're all trash!
I thought you had a girlfriend, Kitahara.
I was one step away! Damn!
The fun college life
with a girlfriend I dreamed about.
Do I have to give up now?
-I--
-Let's order desert!
Oh, good idea!
Hey! This guy has a girlfriend!
Right! It's really important!
They have ice cream and crepes.
-What should I choose?
-I want a crepe!
Then I'll have ice cream.
No way!
Are you helping me?
Hold on!
We won't be long.
About what we said just now--
It doesn't matter.
Don't say that!
Aina already told me Iori has a girlfriend.
MUMBO JUMBO
Thanks for the meal!
Nothing happened in the end.
We were completely defeated.
What a waste of time and money.
What's wrong, Kitahara?
Didn't you guys hear?
What are you talking about?
Those girls The moment they turned around
That was fun!
-That was great, right?
-Yeah.
Yeah. That was really fun!
It was like a zoo.
-I see.
-A zoo?
Don't mess around with us!
Who is an animal here?
Go look in the mirror first!
You all look like clowns with your makeup!
Let's go have a drink!
Nice idea!
Let's get out of here!
I regret this! Damn!
Hey, Aina.
Was that what you wanted?
Sorry for asking you to do
something weird.
It's okay. It was fun wearing makeup like that.
You'll let us copy your report.
But are you okay with this, Aina?
What?
There might have been someone good there.
But dressed up like that
It's okay. I've already shown them.
Oh, you're talking about
the other day.
They've seen you dressed like that.
You have nothing to be scared of!
What?
I know we're in no position to criticize you, but
Look at this photo!
Send it to me!
And
Pretty funny, right?
Don't you think that a guy who's nice no matter how
you look is the guy for you?
There you go again!
You've been watching too many dramas.
What?
Kanako-chan would have said okay
if you guys hadn't gotten in the way!
Don't be a sore loser, Kitahara!
We're friends, right?
I'll never forgive a traitor!
DEEP BLUE AL FINE
KAYA MIZUKI
Here's your mic, Kitahara.
Me, too? All right, let's do this!
-Yeah, sing your heart out.
-You guys seem to be having fun.
A fairytale whispers
In a fake world
Hiding in the complete darkness
I reach for the forbidden fruit
In my last days
Now I know the meaning of the song about hope
A broken gear will never stop again
Even if I were to lose everything
I'd still want you to know
Trapped in the sky so far away
I'm praying with ripped off wings
Because we span together
The vows of areppegio
If life sparkles only to the beat
of the resonating stars
I'll sacrifice everything
Till death do us apart
Cheers!
Thank you!
Iori, are you studying for your license?
This feels like
Good things really do happen!
By the way, Iori
Yes?
I heard something just now.
Do you know anything about it?

You guys are always having fun.
Well
Please!
We thought you'd help us!
Why don't you ask Chii-chan?
That's
Chisa, please!
Die 20,000 times.
It's just like you said!
She's been in a bad mood recently!
It can't be helped.
I'll introduce them, on one condition.
Really?
We'll do anything!
Okay. Well, then
You have to act like you're Chii-chan's boyfriend
until Chii-chan accepts it.
Azusa, why are you
adding that as a condition?
I wonder why
What do you think?
Well, if it'll save my life
Good!
Then I'll bring a girl who's perfect for you guys.
I'm back!
Hey.
Welcome back.
So, Azusa
Where's your friend?
Yeah. I brought her.
Okay. Come in.
Hi.
What? What?
She's amazing!
-Thank you!
-You saved us!
No big deal.
Kohei! Bring some alcohol!
I mean tea!
Do you like anime?
Since she's here,
Does that mean she wants to join?
How'd you find her
at this time of year?
I didn't find her.
Then who found her?
It was Iori and the others.
I'm Aina Yoshiwara,
a freshman at OWU.
I'm quitting Tinkerbell
and joining Peek-a-Boo!
Yoshiwara?
Aina?
-You're--?
-Cakey!
Stop calling me that!
-I see.
-So that's why.
After the Izu Spring Festival,
she said she wanted to join our club.
All right, Iori! Don't forget our promise, okay?
No, this is a scam.
It's just Cakey after she shed her skin!
You guys are so rude!
Anyway, nice to meet you.
Yeah. Nice to meet you.
Let's welcome her!
Hey, Kohei.
Yeah. Are we going to
have her set up the mixer?
Grand Blue Dreaming
The day has finally come.
Do you think it's really okay to let Cakey--
I mean, Yoshiwara handle this?
Hey! Thanks for waiting!
So? Which school are the girls from?
According to the girl who's introducing us,
they're all freshmen at OWU.
OWU? Then they must be good!
What's she like?
Her? She wears a lot of makeup--
Well, she's really different when she's serious
and when she's relaxing.
-I see! I see!
-So she knows what she wants!
She looked unhappy about it.
Why was she so reluctant
to introduce her friends?
It's not normal to ask a new member
to set up a mixer.
-Please make an exception!
-You're saving our lives!
You guys don't understand.
Of course she wouldn't want to.
Why?
Introducing a pervert to your friends
I'd be too embarrassed to do it.
Didn't you say we were best friends
the other day?
You know you're going to a mixer
with us, right?
You have a girlfriend!
Of course she doesn't want to introduce you!
Right?
No! Chisa's not--
You have to act like you're Chii-chan's boyfriend
until Chii-chan accepts it.
Chisa's not?
Chisa is my girlfriend.
Are you bragging?
We'll throw you in the ocean, you idiot!
Kitahara's job today is to help us get girlfriends.
Since you already have a girlfriend,
it's natural.
Hey. We're here.
Here?
Let's go!
Wait!
-Let's decide on a sign first.
-A sign?
Yeah. We're going to point our chopsticks
towards the girl we like.
-I see.
-It'll prevent fighting over girls.
And if you don't like any of the girls,
the sign for "I give up"
is pointing your chopsticks
towards yourself.
That's a good idea.
Your glasses are real.
Quit joking around.
Yamamoto?
I don't need signs like that.
But--
I made a promise to myself.
I don't care who it's with!
I'm going to lose my virginity!
What a man.
He's like some honorable soldier.
He's just a piece of scum
who'd sleep with any girl.
Are you ready?
Yeah!
We're going to a new world!
Nice to meet you!
Cakey! You bastard!
Nice to meet you!
No way!
The girls are--
Just give up for today!
It's hot today, isn't it?
-You're right.
-Let's have a toast!
What do you want to drink?
What should I have?
I'll start with some beer.
Yamamoto!
You're going to proceed?
You're a stereotypical virgin!
Cheers!
-Let's introduce ourselves.
-Okay.
I'll go first.
I'm Kiyoko Kamio, a freshman at OWU.
What are your hobbies?
Horse racing and pachinko.
Yamamoto!
You want it that bad?
I can't stop my tears!
I'm Keiko Suzuki.
I'm Kanako Iida.
I'm Aina Yoshiwara.
Hey, look how hard Yamamoto's trying.
Yeah. We should at least make this exciting.
He's acting so manly.
I'm Iori Kitahara, a freshman at Izu U!
I'm Kohei Imamura!
I'm Hajime Nojima!
I know it's still early, but
-I'm going to sit over here!
-I'm over here!
You guys!
Leave her to me.
We're going to do our best to help you.
We're praying for your success.
I have good friends.
This is for the best.
The problem is what to do with this monster.
Kitahara, what do you want to drink?
You know how to do your job, right?
Of course.
We're going to make things fun and exciting!
You look really different from the other day.
Really?
Oh, I see.
How is she different?
Her clothes and her makeup
She looks totally different.
That's because this is a mixer.
I put a lot of effort into getting ready.
You hag!
Get rid of some of that effort right now!
The drinks are here, you two!
You guys need to relax.
Our job is to turn our brave friend into a man.
You--?
How can we help him?
Let's get him to call her by her first name.
You want to break the ice.
Good idea.
Here we go!
Stay with me, guys!
Got it!
Let's do this again!
I'm Iori Kitahara.
You can call me Iori.
I'm Hajime Nojima.
You can call me Hajime.
You can call me Kohei.
Then you can call me Kanako.
My nickname is Kikko.
I'm Shinichiro.
Then you can call me--
Hold on.
What's wrong, Yoshiwara?
You know
If we change what we call each other,
they'll get the wrong idea.
Why is she saying that now?
She messed up our plan!
But, Kitaha--
I mean, Iori.
If that's what you want
Not at all, you makeup maniac.
Kitahara! We ordered a bottle!
You drink a lot!
Hey! Don't forget your job!
You're right!
This is all for our friend.
I really
I really want to call you Aina.
He did it!
I see.
You know, Iori
What?
I couldn't hear you just now.
Can you say it again?
Don't give in, Kitahara!
You're heartless!
Pardon my reach.
Here's your ramen salad.
What's that?
Haven't you heard of ramen salad?
First time for me.
Can I take a selfie?
Kanako, you really like taking selfies.
-What kind of selfies do you take?
-Like this.
Kanako said she made this.
This girl is pretty!
That can't be true.
You're right. That's impossible.
So your hobby is taking photos?
I like movies too.
I like movies too!
You guys
Movies are fun, right?
Retreat, Nojima.
Did you watch any movies recently?
You can't have her, Kitahara.
I watched Koi Moyo the other day.
Hold on!
I saw that movie too.
He switched his target!
Oh, that one!
That was good!
I know how you feel!
This is stupid. She's just a 3D girl.
We're not from the same dimension--
What's this DVD?
This anime changed my life!
Monster Magic Girl Lalako!
No way
Why?
You like that movie?
That explosion scene is great!
No! The sinking scene was better!
The scene where she jumps off!
It's a love story
Hey, you.
Yes?
Do you want to come over to my place
after this?
What?
I have to go to the bathroom.
-Me too!
-Me too!
Me too!
You guys! I thought you were helping me!
Who said so?
Don't complain!
Calm down, you guys.
Kitahara!
We're friends, right?
-But--
-Jealousy won't lead you anywhere.
Teamwork is the key to victory.
What are you talking about?
Talking fancy won't get me a girlfriend!
If one of us becomes friends,
we can do another mixer.
Today's mixer is for tomorrow.
-I see.
-Kitahara
Tomorrow's mixer
is for the day after that.
You're right.
Do you understand now?
-Of course!
-Let's claim victory together!
Let's show them our bond!
I watched that drama too.
Really? It was good, right?
There must be a way to stop him
from stealing the show.
I won't allow him to claim victory by himself.
Imamura?
Our bond can't have a show-stealer.
In the name of justice,
I'm going to dispel your anger and regret.
Imamura
Hey, Kitahara.
What, Kohei?
I heard some gossip
Are you getting along with your girlfriend these days?
You devil!
You bastard!
You broke a mixer taboo!
What did you say, you piece of trash?
Are you that jealous of my success?
But we're a team.
I have friends who support my success.
No! They're all trash!
I thought you had a girlfriend, Kitahara.
I was one step away! Damn!
The fun college life
with a girlfriend I dreamed about.
Do I have to give up now?
-I--
-Let's order desert!
Oh, good idea!
Hey! This guy has a girlfriend!
Right! It's really important!
They have ice cream and crepes.
-What should I choose?
-I want a crepe!
Then I'll have ice cream.
No way!
Are you helping me?
Hold on!
We won't be long.
About what we said just now--
It doesn't matter.
Don't say that!
Aina already told me Iori has a girlfriend.
MUMBO JUMBO
Thanks for the meal!
Nothing happened in the end.
We were completely defeated.
What a waste of time and money.
What's wrong, Kitahara?
Didn't you guys hear?
What are you talking about?
Those girls The moment they turned around
That was fun!
-That was great, right?
-Yeah.
Yeah. That was really fun!
It was like a zoo.
-I see.
-A zoo?
Don't mess around with us!
Who is an animal here?
Go look in the mirror first!
You all look like clowns with your makeup!
Let's go have a drink!
Nice idea!
Let's get out of here!
I regret this! Damn!
Hey, Aina.
Was that what you wanted?
Sorry for asking you to do
something weird.
It's okay. It was fun wearing makeup like that.
You'll let us copy your report.
But are you okay with this, Aina?
What?
There might have been someone good there.
But dressed up like that
It's okay. I've already shown them.
Oh, you're talking about
the other day.
They've seen you dressed like that.
You have nothing to be scared of!
What?
I know we're in no position to criticize you, but
Look at this photo!
Send it to me!
And
Pretty funny, right?
Don't you think that a guy who's nice no matter how
you look is the guy for you?
There you go again!
You've been watching too many dramas.
What?
Kanako-chan would have said okay
if you guys hadn't gotten in the way!
Don't be a sore loser, Kitahara!
We're friends, right?
I'll never forgive a traitor!
DEEP BLUE AL FINE
KAYA MIZUKI
Here's your mic, Kitahara.
Me, too? All right, let's do this!
-Yeah, sing your heart out.
-You guys seem to be having fun.
A fairytale whispers
In a fake world
Hiding in the complete darkness
I reach for the forbidden fruit
In my last days
Now I know the meaning of the song about hope
A broken gear will never stop again
Even if I were to lose everything
I'd still want you to know
Trapped in the sky so far away
I'm praying with ripped off wings
Because we span together
The vows of areppegio
If life sparkles only to the beat
of the resonating stars
I'll sacrifice everything
Till death do us apart
Cheers!
Thank you!
Iori, are you studying for your license?
This feels like
Good things really do happen!
By the way, Iori
Yes?
I heard something just now.
Do you know anything about it?
