Please, let us make it!

Look, it's sleeping.

It's so cute!

Fumi, lookie here!

What are the odds! Us seeing each other on the way to school, and coming home!

Y-Yeah.

I guess it's not that random, since we pretty much commute the same way.

Say, what's it like in Fujigaya?

What do you mean?

Like, the buildings and facilities.

There are lots of old, wooden structures but they have a nostalgic feel.

There's a chapel and the library has these nice wooden bookshelves!

Really? That sounds wonderful.

What about Matsuoka?

Well, I guess it's kinda typical for a school...

Here you go ladies!

Awesome!

Hey, want to go to school together again tomorrow?

Sure.

I'm home.

Welcome back.

Fumi.

Do you remember if Acchan likes rice bean cakes? Do you think she'll eat some?

I have no idea.

Why are you asking that?

I invited both her and Sakiko over, so I was going to offer her some.

I think she likes them, but I'm not sure...

You really can't recall?

What did Acchan like back then?

She always made sweets along with Chizu.

Oh no, not again.

Her handkerchief...

You didn't have to wash it.

That's just so tidy of you, Fumi.

Say, do you like rice bean cakes?

I love 'em.

The ones that Auntie Yoshie made were the best.

Is that so?

Mom's memory is just impeccable. I've forgotten about that already.

That's not funny!

I'd eat yours too back then since red bean jam is not your thing.

Is that so?

Of course. Auntie would make a scary-face.

She'd get all flustered if we didn't finished our plates.

Amazake...

You don't have t o force yourself if you don't like it, you know.

But she'll get all mad if I don't drink it all.

Boy, aren't you in trouble.

Give it to me.

You okay, Acchan?!

Hey! You remembered something funny didn't you?!

Tell me! What is it?

C'mon! Spill it!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

First Year, Wisteria Class

So Ikumi, have you decided what you're going to do?

Not yet. How about you?

I'm thinking of joining a club that just screams "I'm a proper young lady."

Like perhaps the Tea Ceremony or the Flower Arranging clubs.

The Drama Club would be fine too!

Will it be like the Takarazuka all-women revue, I wonder?

You're just so cute, you know that?

Yes! Someone thinks I'm cute!

The Drama Club, huh?

Drama Club

Looks enchanting.

I'm telling you, it'll be a delightful experience!

If you're just going to join any club you might as well-

I-I have to go to the washroom.

Hang on, Manjoume!

Feels like they're just overbearing me.

Literary Club

If I were to choose, this club would suit me the best.

Are you a freshman?

Yes, I am.

You're quite tall, I see.

Thanks for the compliment, I think.

Are you already with a club?

No, not yet.

The deadline is approaching quickly, you'd better hurry and decide soon.

R-Right.

How about our club, you want in?

Literary Club

Literary Club

The Literary Club?!

Of all the things, why that one?

Backstabber!

I'm terribly sorry. I just...

I've already joined the Drama Club!

I'm really sorry. Really, I am.

Had to happen.

I'm so sorry.

This must be fate, then.

You're mean. So mean!

Really, the Literary Club...

I think you'll be at home with them.

What was that upperclassman like?

I don't know, it's kinda complicated...

I mean, she and I just met recently.

Intriguing...

You have a cellphone.

Yeah, they got me this the other day.

Whoa.

What's the matter?

Something just came up with my mom at the last minute, it seems.

Oh, I see.

But having a cellphone sure is handy for these kinds of things.

You should ask your folks to get you one too!

That way, we could text each other.

Yeah. That would be fun.

Coming!

We've been expecting you!

Sorry for not giving you much time.

Who is it?

Oh, no.

It's quite alright. Is this your husband?

Nice to meet you.

Oh, what a dashing young man!

Come on in, please.

Yes, thanks for having us.

We appreciate it!

Fumi! Chizu and her husband are here. Come and greet them soon.

Acchan!

I'll get you a futon right after you take a bath.

Sure thing!

Chizu... it's not fair.

It's not fair.

Fumi, what's the matter?

Come now...

It's okay.

Acchan.

Please sleep beside me.

Okay, then.

You're all grown up and yet you still need someone to sleep next to you.

Fumi.

Do you dislike me?

Do I make you feel uneasy?

I'm not sure.

You're so adorable.

It's not like I deny it.

It's just a bit frightening for me.

Stop that.

See, here.

You used to clasp my hands when I cried a lot.

Let's call it a night, shall we?

Yeah.

She's very upset about her older cousin getting married...

Is her love for Chizu that profound?

I guess so.

Literary Club

Someone like that in our club?

She's tall and has short hair...

In the meantime, write your name and class here.

Oh, right.

Somebody tall with short hair...

Yo.

Is she the one you're looking for?

She's a member of the basketball team.

She's an acquaintance of mine.

Basketball?

Fumi Manjoume

Fumi Manjoume, huh?

I'm Yasuko Sugimoto, a third year.

It's nice to see you again.

Fuji Manjoume

Basketball

Basketball?!

Why that, all of a sudden?!

The club registration forms all looked alike, that's why...

That's not an excuse!

Basketball and the Literary Club are two different things!

Must be some breakthough.

Think so.

You two will be working backstage since neither of you have acted before.

Drama Club

Things like costumes, props and stuff will be your department.

Will that be okay with you two?

I'll give it a go.

No problems whatsoever.

We have several projects in the works and we appreciate the kind of enthusiasm you have.

But this will be no picnic,

so brace yourselves.

Yes, ma'am!

Apparently she's been throwing up all night.

Will she be alright all by herself?

Fumi said she'll be fine. Let's just go.

Here.

How could she get the flu, of all things, on the wedding day?

Mom, Dad, sorry for this.

The truth is I didn't throw up all night.

Nor do I have a cold.

Actually...

Congratulations on your marriage, Chizu!

I don't want to be there.

Hello, Manjoume residence.

Acchan?

Yes. I'll come!

Definitely, most definitely! I'm as free as I can be!

So you're definitely free, huh? Where to then?

Putting two and two together with basketball and the Literary Club...

Still, your rashness is so very you, Fumi.

I guess it would've been better for me to join the Drama Club after all.

I'm with the Drama Club.

What? That's wonderful!

I joined with Ikumi, she's in my class.

Take a look at this.

"The Little Prince"

"Little Women"

"Wuthering Heights"

Unbelievable!

Will you be acting on stage?

Hell no! Not in a million years!

There are others better suited for that.

But even if I'm just a backstage hand, I feel very privileged.

Yes, you are.

Really, you are.

Looks like Acchan found what she was searching for and stuck with it.

I'm so envious.

I need to somehow tell them that I'm not joining the basketball team.

Glad to be home.

The lights are on.

Oh no!

Fumi, you still awake?

Fumi! Fumi!

Glad you came, Manjoume.

Well, you see...

What's on your mind?

It's just, well...

There's something I've been meaning to tell you.

Oh yeah.

You're into plays?

Plays?

Well, I don't dislike them...

That's good. See this?

That's Fujigaya's...

Uh huh. Got it from the Drama Club of Fujigaya Academy.

Actually...

What's up?

To Kyoko Ikumi

A letter? Could it be from a secret admirer?

Possibly.

I didn't know people were still into these kinds of things.

And it's from a middle schooler.

Will you go see who it is?

I'm quite flattered and commend the boldness of whoever put this here,

but my heart belongs to someone already.

Could you mean, me?

I wonder.

Just a thought...

Could the person Ikumi admires... could it be a girl?

For some odd reason...

...that's what I figured.

Amazing!

This is Fujigaya!

Where the girls are so proper.

That's just the back gate.

The main entrance is much grander.

What?!

What's with this school?

Sorry for this, they just wanted to see Fujigaya this once.

And it's just the back gate?!

No worries. I've secured permission from someone on the inside.

That's better than going at it alone.

Drama Club

Sorry if I've kept you waiting.

It's been a while. And you're early.

Are these the girls that have come to visit us?

Sure are.

Fumi!

Why are you here?

Well...

Friend of yours?

This is Akira Okudaira. She's a friend of mine from way back in elementary.

And these are-

Yoko Honatsugi, nice to meet you.

I'm Miwa Motegi.

And I'm Misako Yasuda.

They're with a Drama Club as well.

I accompanied them here so they could see Fujigaya for themselves.

So she's a friend of hers.

Seems that way.

Wow...

So what brings you here and with them behind you?

Just look at the tall one there.

She is tall. I'd say as tall as you.

Really? So then-

But it's inconceivable that anyone else gets the role of Heathcliff other than you.

How nonchalant of you to say so.

So you're with the Drama Club too.

Do you enjoy it?

It's got it's pleasant side to it. But I'm just a backstage hand for now.

I can see the potential for a good princess in you.

I greatly aspire for the role of Catherine, if it will be made available.

Is that because I'm playing Heathcliff?

I'll be just as happy watching you play the role of Heathcliff on stage.

Kyoko...

Will simply watching bring you satisfaction?

Oh, lover within mine heart, thine ears heed my words!

Catherine!

This window just makes me wanna act that scene.

You just did.

Still, that's so cool!

Say, wanna check out the chapel?

What?

A chapel, here?

Yeah, wanna see?

Of course! I wanna see it!

Me too! Pretty please!

Me three!

Hold on a sec!

They sure are getting along pretty well with each other.

Such a charming place.

A boardinghouse.

A tea hall.

Rose parties.

Secret meetings.

Group events.

A window overlooking from the library.

This is not good. I think I'm in love.

Spring Storm

mado romi no naka wo

Inside the window.

窓ろみの中を

hitotsu deta haru no youni

Like one spring that came out.

一つ出た春の用に

hisoyaka na koi kokoro

The secret love in my heart

密やかな恋心

itsushika saeteta

Unknowingly became clear

何時しか冴えてた

yureteru kokoro

With a shaking heart

揺れてる心

doko he machi ni nukeru

Where is the shortcut to the town?

何所へ町に抜ける

egao ni nareru itsudatte

I'm always used to your smile.

笑顔になれるいつだって

kimi ga tonari ni ite kureru nara

If you're given one friend

君が隣にいてくれるなら

tsutaetai iezuni ita

I want to convey it to you without saying it.

伝えたい言えずにいた

tada hitotsu no ai no kotoba wo

Just one word of love

ただ一つ愛の言葉を
