things off as beyond my depth.

I volunteer.
Please, let me!

[indistinct chatter]
[TONBO]
You're volunteering?
[MIRU]
You, actually want to be
-on the committee?
-[SATORU] Like, for real?
-[KAMAKIRI] My hero!
-[TAO] Totally works for me.
-[TAO] Ishimori's smart.
-[TONBO] Yeah,
though she doesn't get "vibes."
[MIRU]
What do you think, Kai?
Why would you be asking me?
[MIRU] Well,
you're like, her caretaker
or something, aren't ya?
Hmm.
Hmph.
-[Uka gasps]
-[KAI] Can you handle it?
Uh-huh.
'Cause you can't just quit.
I won't.
Gotta see it through
to the end.
-I will!
-[KAMAKIRI] Sounds like
she's in!
[YUKINO]
What are we gonna do?
-[MIRU] A manga cafe!
-[TONBO] Haunted house!
[AYUMI]
You got this, Ishimori!
[chuckles]
[UKA]
I won't let them down!
It'll be tough,
but I'll pull this off!
Everybody's counting on me!
[FEMALE COMMITTEE MEMBER 6A]
All right, people, make sure
the tarp is down,
and be on your way!
-Lots to do, so no napping!
-Oh, you're on the committee?
[UKA'S MOM]
Oh, that's wonderful!
What's your theme?
[UKA]
A cafe,
if the student council
gives their approval.
[UKA'S DAD]
I wish I didn't have to work.
I'd love to grab a bite
at your cafe.
[beeps]
[panting]
Seems like you're having
a lot of fun lately, huh?
Mm. I am, yeah!
[UKA]
It's true.
I feel there's finally a place
where I belong.
And I've got support
from the whole class!
[panting]
[whimpering]
[screaming]
[thuds]
[gasps]
What's with all the rush?
[UKA]
Oh. It's you!
Where's everyone else?
[UKA]
Well, I just thought
I'd get all the stuff
we need myself.
[KAI]
Oh, yeah?
Maybe we could've been cooler
about all that.
[TAO]
Cooler to Ishimori?
Like, the plan so far
was just "a cafe."
So why should we bust our butts
collecting boxes and stuff?
-[NAGANO] I know, right?
-I don't wanna
do some stupid maid cafe.
[SHIRAISHI] Well, then,
why did you raise your hand?
[NAGANO]
I hated the other ideas more,
so, process of elimination.
Huh?
[both groan]
-[TAO] Not cool.
-[SHIRAISHI] Not cool.
[TAO]
The reason she didn't throw
a single suggestion out there
was just so she could bitch
about all of it later.
[SHIRAISHI]
So typical.
Hey, now.
Pretty big talk for someone
who flat out
refused to help at all.
I wanna do a cafe.
Our class is just selling baked
goods from the grocery.
I still can't believe
you guys won.
[ALL]
Huh?
What did we win?
[FEMALE STUDENT 6A] Every class
wanted to do a cafe.
But Ishimori got up
in front of everyone
and unveiled this super
detailed plan for it.
And she was like,
"I know our class can do
a great job with it."
Of course, she was shaking
like a leaf the entire time.
[both groan]
[FEMALE STUDENT 6A]
Sucks for us.
[all groan]
[FEMALE STUDENT 6B]
A maid cafe would be cute!
[all groan]
[KAI]
They said no, huh?
[UKA]
Yeah. Sorry.
I guess I still haven't
learned to "vibe" yet.
[KAI]
So what?
It's not like you have to,
or anything.
I'm confused.
You're probably the only person
who'd say that to me.
[KAI]
'Cause I'm an idiot.
I wanna know what's your
definition of "idiot?"
[birds chirping]
[KAI]
Someone who breaks the rules.
But whose rules
are you breaking?
Adults' and all the people
who suck up to 'em.
♪
[birds chirping]
[KAI]
What's that look about?
I'm just listening.
So, you decided you'd live
by your own rules?
Sure, in a twisted way.
[UKA]
If I had to choose between
living by the adults'
rules or yours,
I'd pick yours.
I'm sure that everyone
you know would, too.
[sighs]
[KAI]
I'm not some kinda God.
Just a stupid punk.
[UKA]
You're unique.
That's why
when you always guide me
in a different direction,
it still feels right.
You give me advice
I wouldn't get from any adult.
[KAI] Crap.
I gotta bail.
Don't worry about my rules.
You make the rules now.
That's what committee
members do, right?

Oh, no, what happened to you?
You okay? Can you move?
[UKA]
She's sweating?
[SHIRAISHI] How far do we
have to carry these boxes?
-Oh, and uh, where are we
going? -Can we see your plan?
We're sorry about before.
We promise to help you.
That's right.
We'll work together.
[UKA] No one's ever talked
to me like this.
Not even my parents.
[TAO]
You are okay, right?
[SHIRAISHI] If you're hurt,
we'll take you to see
the nurse.
No problem!
[NAGANO]
We don't mind.
[all laugh]
[KAI] Gotta see it
through to the end.
You make the rules now.
[UKA]
Yeah.
I know I can do it.
Everything will work out.
All those clouds have
cleared away.

Ugh, I'm so hungry!
All right. It's time for us

CLASS 1-B CULTURE
FESTIVAL PROJECT PLAN
[gasps] Do we read
the whole thing, or
Sorry, Ishimori.
It seems like you--
[grunting]
[MIRU]
Oh, crap.
[TONBO] She's
super fired up about this.
[Uka panting]
I can be assertive.
Our budget's 20,000 yen?
[YURU] What do you ladies
think about coming up
with some more pancake flavors?
[ASUMI]
Oh, now, you're into it?
Of course.
We wanna wow 'em, yeah?
Yeah, we do!
[chuckles]
A certain someone
told the student council
we would!
[YURU] We can't make Uka
a liar, can we?
Let's show 'em
what Class 1-B can do!
Hey. Don't get all teary eyed
just 'cause someone's
nice to you.
Kinda uncool.
[FEMALE COMMITTEE MEMBER 6A]
Why in the world are you
drawing a devil girl with big
tiger striped boots on?
I know for a fact
nobody asked for that!
[Uka panting]
[MOMO] So, uh, is it okay
to change the design?
[ALL]
Huh?
Pretty sure we could
pull it off
without needing so much fabric.
-But how to construct the bust?
-We just need 2 meters
[UKA] I need to stop trying
to solve everything on my own
and put more faith
in the people around me.

[YURU]
What'll we name the cafe?
[SHIRAISHI]
"Cafe 1-B" works for me.
[TAO]
Hmm, A bee. Abe.
Hey, "Avail" is a word
in English, right?
What's it mean, though?
[panting]
[TONBO] Are we gonna get
all this stuff done in time?
We've only got four
more days left to go!
Don't worry, guys!
We'll be fine!

[TONBO] Whoa, Ishimori!
You're ridin' the vibe!

Yeah! Totally!

Get it, Ishimori!

This is fun!
And it's all because
I'm not alone anymore!

Ugh! I'm starving!

Then work faster!

You do remember me?
Please say yes.
[UKA] Ayumi! Of course,
I remember you.
We're all just so busy!

to this Denpa girls' song
and it's killing me.
[SATORU] Ooh,
like for real, for real?

now that I think about it,
you kinda look like Mog!
Man, I love her!
-[laughs]
-[AYUMI] Oh, I'm aware.
-[SATORU] Yeah, is that right?
-[gasps]
[laughing]
You have gotta be kidding me!
The whole reason
I cut my bangs is
because you wouldn't stop
talking about her!
-How are you such an idiot?
-[SATORU] Huh? Wait! Ayumi!
[SHIRAISHI] They're so gonna
hook up at the festival.
Well, you know that Satoru.
He's kind of a dense guy.
People always get together
at these things, though.

As for my love?

Miura?
Life is bright with you. But
[laughter]
[UKA]
It's just as bright here!
[MALE STUDENT 6B]
Who's that?
[MALE STUDENT 6C] That
Ishimori girl from Class 1-B.
Heard she was so boring
back in junior high
that she got bullied
all the time.
Aren't you supposed to be
helping her with that, Kai?
[MALE STUDENT 6B]
Wait, why him?
Is he in the same class?
[MALE STUDENT 6C] Yeah.
He's Ishimori's caretaker.
[SERINA] Hey, back off.
Don't make it sound like--
[MALE STUDENT 6C] Bet you wish
you were Kanno's
caretaker instead.
[Serina sighs]
[FEMALE STUDENT 6C]
Moving on. Kai's next!
And, rolling!
I'm from 1-B. Kai Miura.
[YURU] What were
they doing back there?
[SHIRAISHI]
It's called "Crazy Cool."
Just some bit where they pick
some hot people
from each grade and show 'em
off at the festival.
Apparently, it's all the rage.
[UKA] I wish I could be there
with the boy I love.
But I have to stay focused
on this, now.

If only one thing works out,

it made me happy

Are you Ishimori?
That girl from Crazy Cool,

He your caretaker or something?
[UKA]
Oh, well
That's what our classmates
call him.
-There it is.
-That's it.

To be clear, that means
when you grow up a little,
Miura can just throw you out?
[FEMALE STUDENT 6L] Not like
he gets anything from you!
-That's true.

Good for him!

Sorry! Later!

No. I want more.
I can be greedy.
It's okay!
I have to tell you!
Starting now,
I'm gonna initiate
more conversations with you!

I wonder if Miura's already
got a girl that he likes.
[FEMALE STUDENT 6O]
Maybe Ishimori?
[FEMALE STUDENT 6N]
The one he talked about?
Well, heard he's just trying
to stop people

Kai.
You mind?

Go ahead.
[KAI] Didn't you say
you wanted to talk more?
[TOMOYA]
You're "here for Ishimori?"
Pick one.
If you're just gonna
push her away,
do it before she's
dependent on you.
Otherwise,
get ready to buckle down.
This isn't half as apocalyptic
as you're making it sound.
Not to you.
But what about to her, huh?

Coming up next,
"Rock in Hachimitsu!"
Well, something to think about.
head-to-head!
I'll see you there.
Don't miss it!

without me having to ask.
[FEMALE STUDENT 6J]
To be clear,
that means when you grow up
a little,
Miura can just throw you out?

start initiating more.
Right up until he decides
he's done with me.

Wait. Don't think about that.
