Original subtitles

You should have realized that before you got on the bus.

Once you're on it, don't go "Oh no! I forgot something!"

I'm sorry.

My best friend, Kazama...

...always falls for cute girls.

As for me, Sumika Murasame...

She's the one I've always...

Someday, that sky we looked at together

will gently melt within my heart

The letter written in the white notebook

remains unsent

For if I spoke those closed-up words,

we couldn't go back

That sky we always looked at together

was so clear and blue it seemed almost sorrowful

Tomoe?

What is it?

It's nothing.

Let's go home, Miyako.

I want to kiss a cute girl too...

Again?

Afraid so...

Oh, isn't there one for me somewhere?

The vision of loveliness, with whom I will create a magnificent love story?

How about you just write that on your forehead?

You're awful!

That will just make people think I'm weird!

I wanted to ask you this earlier, but when was your first kiss, Ushio?

Who, me? Oh my, Kiyori!

Stop asking me silly things!

Oh, come on! You're always talking about weird things anyway.

Well, that may be...

So tell me, was it with a girl?

...I haven't had it yet.

Really?

Uh huh!

Damn! I can't stand it! She's SO CUTE!

So I'm a little nervous about it.

You can only do it once, after all,

so shouldn't you want to make a wonderful memory?

But, I'm so afraid I'll somehow mess up when the time comes.

I know what you mean.

It's like how, whenever we have a band concert,

all I can do is worry I might screw up!

Well, in the end it all depends on how well you've practiced.

That's it!

W-What is?

It depends on practice, practice!

So that I'll be ready when the time of my first kiss comes, I have to practice!

Wait, that's no good!

If I kiss someone for practice, THAT would be my first kiss!

What's this about kissing, Kazama?

It's nothing.

Sit down, then.

Akemiya, you continue it.

Yes, ma'am.

Translate the rest.

You can do it. Good luck!

Bob always gets the shorter end of the stick...

His maturity, oftentimes, is fruitless...

So he has a secret way of relieving his stress...

Good grief...

She's still all fired up about it...

But...

...who were those two?

I wonder if they're both in our class.

Someday, I'll also...

I'm sorry...

I'm so inconsiderate.

I was completely oblivious to your feelings, Sumi!

It matters not, Kazama.

I'm at fault for not telling you earlier.

Sumi.

Kazama.

I wouldn't mind...

...even if it was just practice.

What's up with her?

Hey, Kazama.

Everyone's looking at you, stop that!

Sorry!

Watch where you're going!

Hey there, Kiyori...

What if you just wore a mask, and then...

I think I'll pass.

Why not ask Murasame?

I couldn't ask Sumi.

She's way taller than me; the mood wouldn't be right.

Then, what about that girl, the model one?

Akemi?

Didn't you become friends with her?

Akemi would be really nice, but...

I gave her my number, and she hasn't called me at all.

Must be her work. She's popular, after all.

I'm sure you'll get to see her again.

She seems to live nearby.

Right, Kiyori?

It's just a rumor I heard from a senior.

I haven't actually met her.

That's right, huh?

My chances for a first kiss with Akemi aren't completely zero.

I need to practice well for that!

You only get one first kiss.

You're right about that.

Hey, Sumi.

Can you lend me the keys to the chem lab after school?

Well, if you need them for something...

But why?

And... you're planning to do what with it?

Carry it to the classroom, of course.

It's just the right height to practice with!

The classroom, bathed in the rays of the setting sun...

...two lovers silhouetted in the radiant glow...

...as they embrace, their two forms melt into one,

an eternal monument to the vibrant beauty of their fleeting youth!

So you'll settle for anything that matches your height?!

And besides, we're not allowed to take it out of here.

F-For me...

...just it being the first kiss in itself...

...would be enough to make it a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime memory.

Even if it's not perfect...

...or you make a mistake...

If it's with the person you love,

...that's all that matters.

Sumi...

Murasame!

Our teacher's been looking for you.

Oh. Right.

See you later, Kazama.

...Did I just interrupt something?

Murasame?

I want a kiss so badly.

I... If you don't mind it being me...

Has Sumika really returned to the dojo?!

Master.

She just came flying in here out of nowhere.

What magnificent form! You can feel the power in it!

I trained her in the martial arts since she was a child,

hoping that she would one day succeed me, but...

Why would you give up karate, Sumika?

Because it isn't cute!

After a year...

...I see the passion hasn't left you, but has only grown stronger!

You're okay with that thing, but I'm no good?

Kazama doesn't spare a single thought for me!

Good morning, Sumi!

Good morning.

Say, Sumi, are you free after school today?

I guess.

Well then, can you promise me something?

Wait for me in the classroom, at around 5:30 PM?

It's so nice out today.

I'm sure the sunset this evening will be beautiful.

Sunset?

It couldn't be...

...could it?

I'm sorry I made you wait.

No, it's okay...

Sumi!

Chest!

It's 'tansu.'

The Japanese word for 'chest' is 'seiridansu.'

Anything else?

No.

This isn't the first time for that, either.

Does this class enjoy acting like a freak show?

All right, Akemiya, read from here to the end.

There's no way.

Kazama...

...has no feelings for me, even in the slightest.

She never...

...even glances my way.

Sorry for keeping you waiting, Sumi.

Kazama...

I'm glad we can see the sunset!

Those clouds at lunch had me worried.

Sunset really is the best time!

I'm sorry for being so inconsiderate.

I was completely oblivious to your feelings, Sumi.

Yes!

I had no idea there was someone you liked!

How could I have missed that? We've been friends since forever.

But I finally realized it after yesterday's conversation!

Go for it! I'll support you every step of the way!

Therefore...

...today is a "Sumi's first kiss" practice lesson!

Sumi...

For your lips.

You're taller than most boys, Sumi.

So even with me, it should be fine, right?

Kazama...

You said you wouldn't mind if you made a mistake...

...but this is once in a lifetime!

It's good to be prepared, don't you think?

I'm always dragging you along after me, Sumi.

That's why, from time to time, I've got to help you out too.

Okay? Come here.

Sumi.

Thanks.

Looks like they beat us to it, Tomoe.

So they're also...

First Kiss

In slow motion,

I remember the school building's shadow

Basking in the light of the setting sun,

we laughed together

Neither of us has changed since then

Even though we've grown taller

Ah, so that's why the scenery looks different now?

Although it's not in the same pocket,

we keep the same treasures there

Let's share every joy and sorrow,

all the times we've laughed and cried

We're together,

even if we're walking down different paths

Like I said, you got it completely wrong, Kazama!

There's no guy that I like, or anything.

I can't say no to you...

Nothing, just mumbling to myself.

I'll bring it back tomorrow.

Bye for now, then. Goodnight.

Did something happen with Sumika?

Girls this age are quite the puzzle...

Next Time

We get to do the preview!

Yeah!

It's you guys this time?

You two better move over, 'cause we're up next!

Right, right!

But you're just the supporting cast.

Then you can be president of the Girls Club!

No way!

Such modesty.

Oh, forget you. See you all next week.
