I Want to End This Love Game (2026) s01e05 Episode Script
My Childhood Friend Comes in the Morning
Here you are.
Th-Thank you.
Two spoons
Woo!
You want us to eat together?!
You've really set me up, Hinako-san!
It's so cute.
Relax
She's going to get all up in my face
again if she finds out I'm flustered.
She gave us two spoons.
You may as well have some.
Really? Can I? Yay!
Thank y—
This situation is kind of
What's wrong? You aren't eating.
It feels like we're dating, doesn't it?
Did that get your heart racing?
C-Could you not make stuff up?!
I do this with Nacchan all the time!
In fact, I wouldn't even
mind sharing one spoon.
Here you go.
She's fighting back!
She got me just the right
amount of strawberry sauce, too.
Also, her face is so red!
Why is she still insisting
she isn't blushing?!
This isn't fair!
Just throw it in already!
Hang on
Are you frozen?
Did that startle you?
What are you going on about? So stupid.
- He nommed it! He nommed it!
- AHHHH
- You're stupid for calling me stupid!
Besides
You're the one who gets
excited over stuff like this.
I-I-Indirect kiss!
Well?
I-If I pull back now, I'll have lost.
Until Yukiya really sees me as a girl,
I absolutely can't lose.
You have a goofy look on your face.
Lame! You're so annoying!
EPISODE 6
MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND COMES IN THE MORNING
Time to eat.
Yum!
MOM, NIGHT SHIFT MUST HAVE BEEN TOUGH! I MADE YOUR FAVORITE
CHEESE KATSU TODAY! THEY CAME OUT NICE. GOOD LUCK AT WORK!
Thanks for breakfast.
I'm going to use this
to finally stun Yukiya.
Great.
Mom, can we get another slice of bread?
The egg's ruined.
It looked better than last time
Was it too hot?
That must be Miku-chan.
Isn't it a bit early?
Morning.
Sorry I came early.
She has her hair down.
Wh-What's up?
Is something wrong?
Yeah, actually, I wanted to
ask you for a favor.
I hurt my finger during
gym class yesterday,
so I can't tie my hair properly.
So
Could you tie my hair?
O-Okay.
Come in.
Thanks.
Is your finger okay, though?
It's a trap!
She's taking advantage
of the fact that it's morning
and I'm not emotionally ready!
'Kay.
Tie it up neatly, please.
She's too pretty! I can't
look directly at her!
O-Okay.
I'm just tying her hair. No big deal.
Think about how many times
I've done Wakana's hair.
I'm so fast at making braids,
I could write it in my resume.
You aren't going to get my heart pounding
just by touching your hair.
Crap Her hair
It smells so good.
Did you use something?
Yup, I did.
Dad sent me some new stuff.
Hm? Uh-oh, what's wrong?
Your hands aren't moving.
Did your heart skip a beat?
Your hair got in my nose.
I was about to sneeze.
I could do anything to her
with her back turned to me.
She's being cocky.
You know
You're lying about stubbing your finger.
I-It's not a lie.
You can't even tie your hair.
How could you bandage
your hand so neatly?
Such an elaborate trick
first thing in the morning.
You really are needy, aren't you?
You used to like having your head patted
like Wakana did, remember?
But I guess now it means something
different to you, doesn't it?
There. You lose.
He kissed me!
He actually kissed me!
He finally went and did it!
Sensei! He kissed me!
What? What?! Ew!
Why did you think that would be okay?!
Shoujo manga techniques fail again.
Speaking of when we were kids
I liked touching your ears, remember?
- THEY'RE SO SQUISHY
- STOP IT!
Your ears are still soft.
Hey!
What's this? Your ears are getting warm.
Is your heart pounding?
Y-You're imagining it.
Your ears are softer.
Go touch your own.
Then
Why don't we compare?
- SQUISH SQUISH SQUISH
- Thanks!
- Gotta have my morning ear massage.
- R-R-Right?
- Ear massages regulate your
autonomous nervous system
- and even help you lose weight, right.
- What are you, axolotls?
You should probably do it too, Wakana.
Pass.
More importantly, it's almost 8.
Already?!
I-I'm going to get my bag.
Want me to get your shoes for you?
It's fine.
Stop meddling to try to hide
your shame. It's annoying.
Not that it's surprising,
but his hand's grown bigger.
Maybe I'll ask him
to put my hair up again.
We're off.
Her high school uniform's nice, but
her middle school one was cute, too
- YOU SEE, WAKANA, THE EAR HAS MORE
ACUPRESSURE POINTS THAN EVEN THE NECK.
- OKAY, OKAY, ONII.
Oh yeah, what did you do with
your middle school uniform?
I think I'll give it to my
mom's friend's daughter.
She's starting next year.
What's wrong? You look disappointed.
Do you want me to wear it?
And then what, perv?
You're so cold.
Don't you have any good memories
attached to your uniform?
I guess I can keep it
if you really insist.
O-Oh? I see. Huh.
"Cold" my butt!
He definitely looked like
he wanted me to wear it!
He can be a real perv sometimes.
What if I made a move
on him wearing this?
No, no, that would make me the pervert!
So, Wakana,
why didn't you tell them you
have a curfew and come home?
My friend wanted my advice on something.
I lost track of the time
and forgot to message you.
That'd better be true.
Out so late? All dressed up?
Where were you talking to them?
Who's your friend?
Is your friend a guy or a girl?
Come on!
Shut up!
Mom just gave me
the same lecture a minute ago!
For a whole hour!
I know I should have messaged Mom,
but you don't need get
on my case too, Onii!
I'm just worried about you.
You're such a pain!
Why do I need to tell you
about everything?!
You think I'm the kind of person who does
bad things behind your back, don't you?
That's not really the point.
Forget it.
Go away!
Fine, fine.
I messed up.
MIKU
Yukiya?
I'm done with my chores.
Ready for some Squidtoon?
What's wrong?
You sound a bit bummed.
No, well, Wakana and I just
Actually, wanna go to
the convenience store for a bit?
Okay, sure.
I was just in the mood
for something sweet.
Sad. Wakana-chan hates you.
So now you're all bummed.
You can be a bit excessive
about Wakana-chan.
Curfew's important, but she gets
annoyed by you because you keep prying.
Maybe you should trust her some more.
Again, it isn't about
whether I trust her or not.
It's just not safe coming home so late.
Especially because she's cute.
I get it, but
Aren't you happier if she comes
home smiling after having fun
than if she has to come home because her
annoying brother's getting on her case?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT SO LATE?
I WAS AT THE CULTURE
FESTIVAL AFTER PARTY
Smiling, huh?
Why not help her out when
she really needs the help?
Don't be dumb.
I can't swoop in at the last
minute like in a drama.
That's why I'm being this way.
She gets annoyed when I worry
about her preemptively.
But I have to help her
when she's in a pinch?
That's stupid.
But wouldn't it be pretty badass
if you were the hero who
showed up when she's in a pinch?
This kid
You'd better be careful, too.
You have a cute face, if nothing else.
Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
Also, I'm totally fine.
No worries.
I have a pretty painful punch.
And I can run away if I have to.
I'm a fast runner.
Seriously, what's with the sighing?
No, that's messed up for real.
Right? It's hella messed.
Messed up for real real.
Straight up messed up.
So messed up that it's messed up.
Told you.
If you're that worried about me,
I'd love if you protected me, Yukiya.
You don't even care about
what I'm going through.
Huh?
I kinda get how Wakana-chan feels.
The first time you use a knife,
the first time you go out with friends
Girls get lectured
all sorts of ways every time.
It makes you go, "Urgh"
The same happened to me, too.
It's frustrating the moment it happens.
But it's because I'm cared for.
And of course she appreciates that.
I'm sure Wakana-chan understands
that you're worried for her.
You've always been her big brother.
Holding her hand so she doesn't fall.
Sticking by her side when she's crying.
Patting her head when she's sad.
Letting her hang out when
she can't keep up with her friends.
I've done all that for her?
I might have embellished a bit.
Anyway, point is, she gets
why people are worried.
Maybe she didn't want to
be scolded by her brother.
She probably wanted you
to be on her side.
You don't need get on my case too, Onii!
Dunno about that.
Halfsies.
He can go a bit overboard,
but the way he's always
a proper brother
There's a new version
of the one we always buy.
That's what I like about him.
LIMITED TIME
ICE PEARLS MITARASHI DANGO
Thanks.
I know I said too much,
but I have a feeling I'll do
the same thing if she does it again.
And she'll get angry again.
And then
- You're so lecturey.
- TRASHY
- I like my trashy guy more. He gets me.
- Peace! Woo! 'Sup dawg, you seein' this?
- I don't need you anymore, Onii.
- Bye-bye!
- I might lose Wakana.
You're an idiot.
Don't worry. Just trust her.
You always brush it off like it's nothing.
It's not a matter of trust.
No girl's going to stick around
with her older brother forever.
Especially with the way I am.
She might just wander off with
some cute guy who sounds fun.
You're a perfectly awesome big brother.
You'll be fine.
You blushed!
Stop messing with me!
Will you always be by my side, too?
What was that?
Nothing.
Wakana, I bought popsicles.
H-Hey
I took it too far earlier.
It isn't that I don't trust you.
I should have let it go.
Well
It was my fault for worrying you, too.
Also
Here.
I was borrowing these.
Can I borrow the rest later?
Okay.
Thanks for the popsicle.
Come on!
You left your sticky-notes in!
I told you to stop it!
S-Sorry, Wakana!
I'll take them off now!
Onii, you idiot!
- NEXT EPISODE
MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND WANTS TO SLEEP OVER
- I finally got all the sticky-notes
off, but the worst part
- is that I can kind of guess what Onii
was thinking when he put them there,
- and it's so gross!
- "Be mine."
- Ew! Ew! Ew!
- Next episode: "My Childhood Friend
Wants to Sleep Over."
- Don't miss it.
Th-Thank you.
Two spoons
Woo!
You want us to eat together?!
You've really set me up, Hinako-san!
It's so cute.
Relax
She's going to get all up in my face
again if she finds out I'm flustered.
