It's so nice and cool in the shade.

Izumi!

Get over here!

We gotta decide where we're goin' over summer break.

Right, it's summer.

Upsy-daisy...

Coming!

Ow!

Some things never change.

At this point, I hardly think anything of it.

It really is summer...

It's so hot.

And the sun's particularly bright today.

Zero Resistance to the Sun

Whoa, cold! Wh-What...?

For you.

#04 How They Each Feel at the Start of Summer

Did I startle you?

Thanks, Shikimori-san.

Make sure you stay hydrated, Izumi-san.

She's dazzling!

Like a model in a commercial!

You can get under my parasol.

Thanks.

Thanks, Hachimitsu.

You sure about this?

Well, it's just Hachimitsu.

I'll hold it, Hachimitsu-san.

How thoughtful of you, Izumi.

I know! I wanna go to the beach over summer break!

What?!

The beach?!

She sure is excited.

I guess Shikimori-san really likes summer.

Into Culture

Into Athletics

The beach is awesome!

Nothing says summer like the beach, right?

The beach, huh? It does sound fun...

But I always burn instantly and make things harder for everyone else,

so I just end up sitting in the shade watching.

Wait, wouldn't the river be better?

Izumi likes cooler places more, right?

He's sensitive to the sun, but we can still swim at the river.

Oh, man! The river sounds great, too!

H-Hang on...

If you want to go to the beach, don't hold back on my account.

We're not holding back.

We're discussing this because we want to go somewhere we can all enjoy.

Yeah, exactly!

What's your pick, Izumi?

I-I think...

I'd also... like to go to the river.

It's settled, then!

Izumi and the river still sounds like a dangerous combination, though.

Gulp!

G-Good point...

It'll be fine.

I'll be there.

You're so cool, Micchon!

Too cool! The coolest!

C-Come on... You're gonna make me mad!

You're embarrassed! How cute!

Hey!

You're all red!

You okay with the river, Hachimitsu?

I am not!

I want to lounge around at someone's house with the AC blasting.

Hey!

Spending all summer break lounging around at home is just...

That's a good idea, too!

Let's do it all!

I think anything would be fine.

Oh, I wanna go to a festival!

This summer...

might just be...

the best I've ever had.

A Few Days Later

Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat

Final Exam Week

Finals week kicks off today!

That means all clubs are on break!

Y-You sound happy.

Of course I am!

Because the best way to spend the first day of summer is...

Going shopping for our river trip!

What gives? We came 'cause you said we were gonna study!

What do you even want to buy? Let's go home.

Yeah, we already have all the stuff we need for a barbecue.

You don't get it at all. You are so clueless...

You're totally thinking up something now, aren't you?

If we're going to the river, we need swimsuits!

True.

Totally On Board

Uh, only little kids wear swimsuits at the river.

You're no help at all today!

Well, we're all in trouble if we don't study!

You're more serious than your face suggests.

My face is serious, too!

Will you be swimming, Izumi-san?

Oh, me? Hmm...

Zero Resistance to the Sun

Sunburned All Over

You poor, poor thing.

Nah, I think I'll pass.

So you won't be wearing a swimsuit?

Why do you ask?

No reason.

I was just thinking that's a shame.

Huh?

Wait, wh-what does that mean?!

It feels like Izumi's always right in the palm of Micchon's hand.

Sometimes her "Teasermori" side comes out.

Come shop swimsuits with us, Micchon!

If Izumi-san won't be swimming, I don't need one.

Boo.

Well, we're gonna go look.

Whoo-hoo.

Those two really just do their own thing...

What should the three of us do?

Those abs sure are something...

That's so cool...

I... I...

Shikimori-san?

I'm going to the restroom!

Huh?

The restrooms are the other way, Shikimori-san!

You and I might as well go to the food court and study.

Th-This is...

It's the one from that ad.

Hey, Micchon! You're here, too?

Check it out!

Isn't this swimsuit wild?! What's with the frills?

Don't hold it up to me.

Y-You can't go with that one, Micchon!

W-Wait, this isn't...

It's not what it looks like, I swear!

I-I-Izumi-san was looking at an ad with this swimsuit in it earlier!

I figured he must like this kind of thing...

So I was just looking! That's all! I wouldn't...

Ah! So that ticked you off, huh?

Just a little bit.

I hear ya.

Must be rough.

You do hate losing, after all.

Huh?

You didn't realize?

I guess you wouldn't, huh?

Huh? What?

It doesn't usually show,

but it creeps up every now and then. Like right now.

Hey, Hachimitsu...

What?

Isn't Shikimori, like... super cute?

Who's Shikimori again?

She's in our class! Remember your own classmates!

That small face, that silky hair...

She's slender, she's smart,

she has big eyes and long eyelashes...

And on top of all that, she's super nice!

She tops the list of girls you'd want to marry!

She's a classic Japanese beauty! She's way too freakin' graceful!

I wanna be her friend!

Chill out. You're being creepy.

Everyone gets creepy when there's a cute girl in front of them.

I just wanna be friends with her.

I mean, I get it.

When you're dealing with someone that perfect,

it's hard to know where to start.

Exactly! And on top of that...

I heard she and that Izumi guy just started dating!

When they're together, the air around them is just so pure! It's freaky!

You have a point.

Still, you really adore girls like that, huh?

"Girls Like That" Simple and Clean Maidens

I mean, I'd love to be like that.

I'm too tall, and I'm pretty tactless, too.

Not like that bothers me or anything, but...

Girls who are soft and airy and smell nice...

Ones who make you want to protect them just catch my eye so easily!

They're my polar opposite!

What I'm saying is...

Shikimori is my ideal woman!

Is she?

Yes, she is!

Gather 'round, girls! We're starting your basketball game!

Hurry up!

All right, game time! I can't wait!

Let's go!

It's just part of class. Don't take it seriously.

I know that!

I can tell the difference between playing for real and for fun.

I'm not so sure.

Maybe I'll pass it around as needed and just focus on shooting...

Huh?!

Already?!

Nice!

That was awesome!

For real?

Incredible!

That was so cool!

One more goal!

Run! Run!

You've got this!

That little...

A three-pointer?! No way!

Nice!

Nice one, Nekozaki!

Wow...

It doesn't even seem like a girls' game.

H-How did this even happen?

They're taking this too seriously!

She doesn't know the difference at all.

What's her deal? This is a first...

I've never met a girl like her before.

She's usually so cute, but right now...

She's unbelievably cool!

Good game. That was fun, huh?

Oh, Nekozaki-san.

Hey, Shikimori...

Let's have lunch together today!

Okay, sure.

That's really what happened?

You forgot about it?

Micchon has always hated losing with a passion.

Oh, come on... It's not that I hate losing...

Yeah, uh-huh.

Okay, let's find a swimsuit that looks good on you!

Huh?

Hmm... Are we supposed to write all of this out?

Which one?

(1) When the sum equals 9 (2) When the product equals 8 (3) The outcome of each roll is greater than the previous 26. Two dice are rolled three times. Write the number of outcomes that produce the following results. (1) 4 or 6 (2) A multiple of 4 (3) Less than 15 27. Write how many resulting terms are possible when each of the following expressions is expanded.

Oh, you can just write the tree diagram that fits.

Huh...

That's it. I knew you'd get it, Inuzuka-kun.

That's not too encouraging coming from you...

Oh, finally, there they are. Took you long enough!

I'll go get another chair.

Whoa, you're actually studying.

Yeah, because it's finals week.

Such a serious student.

I'm not gonna share my notes!

Boo...

Here, Hachimitsu-san.

Thanks.

Say, Shikimori-san...

You look kinda happy. What'd you buy?

Dang, he's sharp!

Dude, she obviously bought a swimsuit.

What are you talking about?

I-I didn't buy anything.

You're lying.

Whenever you lie, it's written all over your face.

What is it? I'm curious!

I-I'm telling you, I didn't buy anything!

I mean it! I just did a little browsing.

Micchon laughing and then getting mad is so fun to watch.

So no, I didn't buy anything.

Is it possible... that Micchon is the one in the palm of his hand?

Well...

I guess there's no winning against your own inner nature.

That sounds like another disastrous experience.

I haven't been through one that bad in a while.

I'd believe it.

I can't believe all of my writing utensils broke on the same day!

But at least the teacher saw you needed help before the exam ended, right?

Though it took fifteen minutes to find another pen you could use...

Well, see you tomorrow.

Bye-bye.

L-Let's do our best tomorrow, too!

I need to get ready for the next round of exams tomorrow, but I just can't!

That scared me. The volume's up to max...

Shikimori-san

Shikimori-san?

Hello, Ijumi here.

I know.

What has you calling so late at night?

They're Both Very Healthy Kids

Well... I thought you might be buried in your blankets about now.

She knows

I-I'm not!

You're not still feeling down, are you?

I-I'm fine now.

I'm glad to hear it.

Although, I actually called for a different reason...

I just wanted to hear your voice.

I wish I could've seen her face just now!

Well, then shall we talk about something?

Sure.

Uh, let's see...

Oh!

Shikimori-san, can you see the sky from your room?

The sky? Yes.

Can you see the North Star in the northern sky?

The northern sky...

I see it!

Isn't it pretty?

Yes.

The North Star is part of the constellation Ursa Minor,

and it's visible in the northern sky year-round.

Oh, and the constellation shaped like a W below that is Cassiopeia.

It's visible year-round, too.

Do you like stars, Izumi-san?

Yeah. I loved our class on constellations in elementary school.

But every time my dad took me out stargazing,

Star Chart

it always rained...

So I never got to see any real constellations.

My luck is the worst.

Let's go!

Huh?

I'll take you somewhere you can see a sky full of stars!

Shikimori-san...

In that case, I want to take you someplace you want to go, too.

Huh? Why?

Why? Well, obviously...

Because I want to see you with a happy look on your face.

You made sure we're going to the river instead of the beach this summer for my sake.

So instead of somewhere I want to go,

I want to take you where you want to go.

I...

I can't think of anything at all...

Does that mean there's nowhere she wants to go with me?!

I think it's just because I want to go wherever you're going.

Whether it's the movies, an amusement park, or the local park...

As long as I'm with you, anywhere is fine.

When I see you having fun, it's fun for me, too.

So keep going wherever you want to go, okay?

And take me along with you.

I love her!

Well, shall we go to sleep now? It's getting late.

Oh...

You're right.

Thanks, Shikimori-san.

No, I should thank you.

You're amazing, you know?

Huh?

For some reason, I feel a lot better now.

I wish I could see you right now.

Shikimori-san?

I'm sorry... I'm very tired, so I'm going to sleep now.

Goodnight!

Wha—

Shikimori-san Call Ended 1:02.05

Oh, she hung up...

I-I didn't know she was so tired. That was rude of me.

Okay! I'm gonna do my best on tomorrow's exams, too!

Yeah!

Yuu, don't yell in the middle of the night.

Izumi-san Call Ended 1:02.05

I wish I could've seen his face when he said that...

Oh, my god!

I mean, obviously I want to see him, too! Jeez!

It's the middle of the night. Keep it down, would you?

Argh!

Are you listening?!

SEE YOU~

Easy Meat and Potato Stew Ingredients (serves 2) Potatoes Onions Shirataki noodles Carrots Beef

Hello, everyone.

Hello!

We're going to try making a meat dish today.

Let's start by preparing the vegetables.

You don't need to be so nervous, Mii-chan.

R-R-Right!

Okay, everyone, please begin.

Okay!

Let's make something tasty and surprise Yuu, Mii-chan.

Yes!

Let's see. These are...

Oops.

Motoko-san!

Dear me.

Why would you pick it up that way?

Oh, that won't do, Mii-chan.

When you pull the knife toward you...

Like this. Apply more strength on the pull.

O-Okay...

I-I-I get it!

Wh-What are you doing?!

I was trying to get you to relax.

You're all red. How adorable.

A-Anyone would turn red after you...

It seems like you have a hard time cutting with this.

She moves at her own pace!

Oh! Maybe it's a right-handed knife!

I'll ask if they have any left-handed ones!

I still get so nervous when I'm alone with her.

But she invited me along, so I'll do my best to cook.

Mii-chan!

They had one!

Thank you!

Ah...

You're not hurt, are you?

What about you? Are you all right?

Fair question...

Please be more careful when handling knives!
