Original subtitles

Like I said, if you want to do this genre so badly,

then just go do it all by yourself!

Really, you just expect too much!

Like we'd really devote our time so seriously.

It's just a fanzine!

Why are you so serious about deadlines?

It's no fun if we can't do our own thing.

Yeah, totally.

Well, you can do whatever you want now.

We're leaving.

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

Alright, time's up.

What was your answer to that?

Pens down please!

Flip over your papers and hand them in as you leave.

If you get lower than 30, you'll be required to attend remedial classes.

Yeah, I'm screwed.

Man, I think I'm going to be in that remedial class.

Is there club activity today?

Sumi!

Hey.

Wanna go check our grades on the test?

Murasame!

Ah, Aoi!

Have you considered what I told you last time?

What was it, again?

This!

A 100% yuri fanzine, "Yuri Festival," of course!

We, as "Masaka Orino's Ministers," get to set...

We?

We should include the celebration for...

It will be exciting!

Hey, Kazama.

It will be your very first fanzine, so...

AAAAAAAAAA

Don't run away! Help me here!

AAAAAAAAAA

She's a fan of your brother!

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

I can't become curiously close with her!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

She must never know that my brother is Masaka Orino!

AAAAAAAAAAAA

No worries! With your brother's merit,

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

even if they found out he's a guy, he'll still remain popular.

AAAAAAAAA

You don't understand fans!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The pure enthusiasm of a teen is extremely simple,

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

it can be transformed by negative energy.

AAAAAAAAA

You're thinking too much!

AAAAAAAAA

Have faith in your brother!

AAAAAAAAAAA

That's not what I'm talking about!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It's the editors that have decided, with consideration to the readers,

AAAAAAAAAAA

that the writer is a mystery woman.

AAAAAAAAA

That mustn't be found out!

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

But then aren't they deceiving the fans?

AAAAAAAAAAAA

No! We're just giving them a dream!

AAAAAAAAA

Don't look away from reality.

Wow, I didn't know they could communicate like that.

And forehead over there seems completely oblivious.

Alrighty! When I get home I'll make a rough draft!

I'll make up for all the lost time!

It's sizzling.

Say, where you gonna work part-time?

Not sure...

I hope it involves 1,000 yen an hour in an air-conditioned room.

Dream on.

That's right, peons. Go enjoy a languid summer.

As for my summer...

My Summer Vacation

I'll be doing fanzine work with Murasame.

We'll spend long nights working at her house!

We'll go to an event.

Then, the beach!

And hiking!

I can't wait!

Oh, welcome home, Azusa.

Yeah, I'm ba—

Can you watch over the shop for a while?

Why?

Where's Mom?

At the hospital with grandma.

Look, you're finished with exams, right? So have some fun!

I have stuff to do!

Welcome!

Well, whatever.

My house has never been a calm place in the daytime to begin with...

Now that the exams are over...

...we can now focus on our group's activities!

Activities? For what?

Have the exams made you stupid or what, Murasame?

I'm talking about our Girls Club!

You still haven't given up on it?

"Giving up" is not a part of Tomoe's vocabulary!

Very true, along with many other words.

Our club got shot down and Akemi Yamasaki is nowhere to be found...

That's right! Akemi...

Where has she gone?

Completely vanishing from our sights, huh?

She's like a phantom member.

So witty of you, Tomoe!

Our club has been faced with great challenges ever since its conception!

I get it.

If things continue like this...

we'll never be able to achieve our goal of spending enjoyable times with only girls!

Isn't that what we're doing right now?

Which part don't you understand, Murasame?!

High school student life is all about clubs!

Understood.

I perfectly understand that whatever I say to you, it's totally useless.

That's the best part of Tomoe!

Seriously?

I tried recruiting Torioi again, but...

"I think I'll pass!! Ha ha ha!"

And so, I've been turned down.

When did you?!

Well, anyway, stop bothering Kiyori.

Fine, getting new members will be put on hold for now.

Instead, I plan on strengthening the bonds between us.

How do you plan to do that?

It's summer.

And when it comes to summer...

It's training camp time!

Murasame's house was like a great mansion.

She even had servants...

I bet she has a villa...

What if I ever got invited?

Thinking of it is just too much!

Look... the stars are so gorgeous!

Yeah, it's like we're floating in the night sky.

What?! Come on! How about trying an original story for this summer?

Um... excuse me.

This might be good!

It won't just be a fanfiction...

The young lady and the alcohol store's daughter

The young girl goes to a summer resort, in the sake brewer's daughter home town.

It's gonna be an original fanfiction!

However, the characters are dead giveaways.

So how do I make it original?

It's my first time...

It might be better to start off with a fanfiction.

No!

It might not turn out well, but...

...if I give it my all, I'm sure Murasame will like my story!

And above all, I'm writing about someone I truly admire!

I want to do my best!

Azusa's in her room?

She is.

I thought her exams were over.

They are.

It's her fanzine.

Yeah. I hear she found someone who shares her interests.

I was getting worried.

It seemed like she had very few friends.

I guess I don't need to be so worried now.

Our training camp shall start on August 6th.

Wait, wait, wait. We're actually going?

Of course.

For someone at the top of our class you seem to suffer a bit of memory loss, don't you think?

As a member you should keep it sharp.

"Go-home clubs" don't do training camps!

You mean the Girls Club.

Girls, we should keep cleaning.

Anyway, you can't decide stuff like this on your own.

I've got other plans.

Murasame.

What now?

I lied. We're going to the beach.

Just imagine...

At the beach...

Sumi!

I said imagine, not fantasize. That's enough.

Well then, I guess training camps are okay sometimes!

It's summertime after all!

Sumi?

Typical.

The beach? Sounds fun!

You can come if you want to.

Really?! Well... only if I'm not busy with club work.

I'm not sure if last year's swimsuit still fits me.

Die.

Well then...

...let's go buy one after class tomorrow!

Of course! We'll do that!

I know what you're actually up too.

Shut it!

What's that?!

Why are you suspecting me of such things?!

Stop it, you two.

You sicko!

I'm NOT!

When I show this to her... I'm sure she'll be pleasantly surprised.

Maybe she'll even want to write her own novel!

Hold on, if that happens it might not be about Big Sis Masaka anymore.

Well, that's fine.

I'm so hyped!

And summer vacation hasn't even started yet.

I'm really enjoying this!

Finished.

I finished it!

My first ever original novel is finally complete!

No way! What should I do? I can't believe it!

It's 1200 characters a page and 50 pages total!

This is no mere fanzine anymore.

Done... I did it!

I've reached a mature level!

I'll think about that later...

For now, some sleep.

But... there's only two hours before school starts.

Oh yeah...

the title.

What will I call it?

Sunflowers...

The Language of Sunflowers.

I long for you from afar.

Was I supposed to help out, or something?

You don't remember?

After our exams...

Oh, that!

Ah, sorry! My memory must've been tired after all those exams!

Alright, return to your seats!

I'm handing out your report cards.

S-See you later!

"Report cards," huh? That's so old-school.

I'm okay...

I'm fine.

Like I said!

Really now...

It's just a fanzine!

Why so serious?

Can't you do it on your time?

Aoi...

Don't be late. I've never been late yet.

Yeah, what time will it be?

Nine o'clock.

Not ten?

That's the opening time.

Then why nine then?

Because, we have to get ready before opening.

I'm fine.

Aoi... she must have gone already.

Murasame.

After all, it's not my first time being alone for summer vacation.

Welcome home, Azusa!

Huh? Did you get bad grades?

Add a beer onto that order.

Oh, Azusa, welcome back.

Say, what's that call again? That event...

You're going with a friend this year, right? You should invite her over sometime!

Wow, talk about messy.

Are girls like you always this slobby?

I... I did a terrible thing, huh?

If you think so, then make amends.

I fell asleep.

I didn't even close the windows.

My parents probably heard me crying.

Murasame?

I'm sorry.

M-Murasame! Why?!

Like a Sunflower

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

So... how do we turn these into books?

Murasame, don't you know by now?!

This is the 100% yuri fanzine sale!

"Yuri Fest!" Oh yeah!

Parodies, 2D, 3D, it doesn't matter! It's all yuri!

It'll be at the yuri mecca in Ariake! Absolutely no guys!

A festival meant for girls only!

It's on August 7th?!

Next Time - Summer Happenings

Next week it's the beach!

Yahoo!

I'm envious.

I got my driver's license just for this day!

Super!

I don't think that's...

What the, the engine's...

Go! Go!

You okay?
