How do people see me?

Miyazawa.

Miyazawa Yukino (HS freshman)

Thank you for the notes.

They helped me so much.

You take really neat notes!

It's just like you.

That's okay. It's not a problem.

Is your cold okay now?

Completely.

Miyazawa!

Today's the last day to turn in the home economics assignment, right?

We're not done yet.

Hmm, then I'll talk to the teacher and...

have the deadline extended until the end of the day.

All right!

Miyazawa!

How do people see me?

Miyazawa is so amazing, you know?

Testimony 1

Amazing

Yup!

Public Approval

Smart, with a good personality, and cute, too!

Testimony 2

Smart

Smart Good personality

Smart Good personality Agreeable

And you don't act like a model student at all!

Smart Good personality Agreeable And modest, too

Yup!

Public Approval

I really admire you.

Testimony 3

Reverence and admiration

It makes me realize that people like you really do exist.

Yup!

Public Approval

Miyazawa really is great.

It's like she doesn't have any faults...

Heh Heh Heh Heh Heh

So, in the end, that is how people see me.

Someone who has surpassed the general crowd.

The object of admiration.

I really like myself like this.

Self-affirmation

Triumphant

But... ever since I came to this high school, I have been irritated.

But...

The representatives of our class are both really amazing!

New testimony

They're both amazing

Yup!

Public Approval

Why?

Oh, Arima! I'm so glad I'm in the same class as him!

Decisive testimony

The joy of sharing his presence

He's the chief instigator! Arima Souichirou!

Arima Souichirou (HS freshman)

Her Circumstances

We're home!

Club activities! Club activities!

Sis Yukino, we're home!

Miyazawa Yukino (same person)

Oh, welcome home, Tsuki, Kano!

Oh!

Oh!

Sis, you look jolly as usual.

Miyazawa

Huh? So what?

Middle school sweatshirt

After all, this is the most comfortable thing to study in.

Usually wears contacts

Now everyone,

you may think that this is quite the opposite of when I'm in school, but...

That is right, I am...

all show!

The elegant me...

is just for show.

My good personality is a huge lie.

In reality, I only love to be revered above all by others...

To be admired...

To be treated specially...

To be pampered...

To be first place...

I am the queen of vanity!

But you know, the amount of passion Sis puts into her image is amazing.

Typical dinner scene

If it's to be number one, she'll pull an all-nighter without hesitation.

And in order to be a heroine in sports,

It is said you shouldn't try this at home

she never fails to train in secret.

And in order to look even a little bit more beautiful,

Contemplating a business pose

she never neglects her pursuit of beauty.

It makes me wonder why you'd go so far to look good.

She's always lazy at home.

Oh, the fried eggplant is delicious.

And she's actually spoiled, stubborn, and unmanageable.

So what?! If I didn't drop my guard at home, I'd get tired.

And again, Miyazawa household's eldest daughter, Yukino (HS freshman)

Then why don't you quit posing?

Likewise, third daughter, Kano (8th grade)

Yup. When I see you outside, I don't recognize you for a moment.

Likewise, second daughter, Tsukino (9th grade)

Peropero (dog)

Since we were in the same middle school until last year...

I'd get the shivers whenever I'd see Sis walking gracefully at school.

But it's fun to watch, once you get used to it.

That's right. Yukino's sociable to everyone in the neighborhood,

Mother, Miyako, 35 years old (housewife)

so every time someone says, "You have such a wonderful daughter."

Mother, Miyako, 35 years old (housewife)

I almost burst out laughing.

Father, Hiroyuki, 37 years old (businessman)

Yukino's been putting on a show for people...

since around when she started kindergarten.

The vanity might already be a physical part of Yukino.

Everyone, why?

I don't understand how you can stand to be normal.

You know, when people look at me with reverence and admiration,

I feel a shiver run down my back.

Cold Shivers

There is a weirdo.

There is a weirdo in the house.

But well, in order to act that wonderful me,

I can't let my guard down even for a moment,

so it's a little exhausting.

Why do you want to go so far just to be praised by others?

No, it's better to act the way you want to, even if you're normal.

It's better than being a weirdo.

But you know, Sis, recently, you have a competitor, right?

That's right!

I can't lose against him now!

That is right.

In this way, I've duped the world all the way through middle school,

but for the first time, a competitor has appeared.

The story goes back to the entrance ceremony.

April Entrance Ceremony

I was feeling a little disheartened.

Reenactment

I'd been planning to get number one on the entrance exam...

and be the class representative.

But I was not chosen.

I studied so hard and there's someone better than me?!

I was gonna be the class representative

Wow~

and let everyone know about me!

My plans for my high school debut are ruined!

The guy who got in the way of my plans must be a depressing geek!

Oh, you're too kind!!

Representing the incoming freshmen,Arima Souichirou.

Yes, sir!

Reenactment

As I feared, he monopolized the class's topic of conversation.

Reenactment

Reenactment

In the fifteen years of my life, I have never been so humiliated!

That's why I decided that I'd defeat him, no matter what!

Down with

Arima

And I must make everyone realize how wonderful I am!

In other words, he made his debut when you were supposed to debut.

Down with Arima

Sis, you want to have people pay attention to you that much?

Of course! Words of praise are the source of my life energy!

On top of it all, he's got a good personality, is good at sports,

and he's the only son of the director of a huge hospital.

He really pisses me off!

I'll never let him have number one ever again!

I'll get in his way and get in his way and get in his way!

I have to teach that rich boy how harsh life can be!

The prejudices of the poor are unbecoming, Sis.

Setting aside blaming other people for your own problem,

on the contrary, shouldn't you be grateful to him

for teaching you that there's a larger world out there?

Kano, you shut up!

You impudent little...!

It's scary how much my older sister can hate someone,

just for her image.

Hokuei! Fight ya, fight ya, fight ya!

Hokuei Prefectural High School

Hokuei! Fight ya, fight ya, fight ya!

Class 1-A

Good morning, Miyazawa.

Oh, good morning, Arima.

Gah, Arima!

You're always so early.

Not at all, look at you.

Man, I just had to run into this guy first thing in the morning.

But my impregnable mask won't crumble at a thing like this.

I have club, so...

You're in the kendo club, right?

Practice seems hard.

Yeah.

We start at six in the morning and go until eight in the evening.

That much?!

But still, you keep up with your studies, so you must work hard.

You're amazing.

Oh, not really...

I wonder what he's so embarrassed about.

You're smart and dependable yourself.

You're good at working for the class committee and things like that.

It made me realize that there are amazing people like you in high school.

It showed me how big the world is

and how small a world I used to live in.

No, I'm not that special...

Smile

Foolish Arima.

The nice partner in front of you is the woman who'll soon send you to Hell.

(as class representatives)

Nice Partner

I finally solved it.

What?

I don't understand this part.

Hey, Arima, could you show me this part?

D'oh!

D'oh!

Yeah, sure.

Oh, here you use the solutions to the discriminant and the quadratic.

So, like this...

Oh, I see.

Arima, show us too!

While we're at it, let's set up a group and do it.

Good idea, let's put the desks together.

Let's do it! Let's do it!

So, if you throw with your hands, it won't go straight,

so use your knees as much as possible.

Like this...

Hey, Arima's playing a match!

What?! I wanna watch! I wanna watch!

Ooh! Ooh!

He got a goal just now!

He was cool!

I heard Arima can even stand up to seniors in the kendo club.

Really?

Our school's kendo club is pretty good, right?

Yup.

And he looks good in the kendo uniform.

He's so cool!

You're so cool, Arima!

Then, the inflection of "tamae"...

Arima.

Yes, ma'am.

A conditional verb indicating humility

and it is a Shimonidan conjugation?

What about "mashika"?

An "if only" supposition as well as a perfective adverb.

Yes, very good.

Wow

Wow

Wow

Wow

Damn

Wow

Until now, I was the one noticed by everyone and trusted by the teacher.

Dammit!

If it weren't for him, I would've been noticed without any problem!

Cold! It's cold! To be buried as an average person...

I want to be praised, acknowledged, and noticed by everyone!

Dammit!

You're an eyesore, Arima!

Just you watch.

The one to send you to Hell is none other than me!

I'm sleepy.

After all, I've been studying all night in order to win against him.

No, no, if I fall asleep now, it's just what he'd want!

D'oh! Tha... That was close.

I almost died a really horrible death.

This is bad. No one saw that, right?

My i-ma-ge...

Miyazawa.

Y-Yes?

Stuff like that is dangerous, so you'd be better off if you didn't do it.

Damn Arima!

Pisses me off, pisses me off, pisses me off, pisses me off!

I will definitely, definitely defeat him!

Disasters will come when you let your guard down

Chapter

Disasters will come when you let your guard down

Disasters will come when you let your guard down

All right, that is the end of this week's meeting.

Dismissed!

Conference Room 2

This school has a lot of committee meetings, don't you think?

There's at least one meeting every week

I didn't think it'd be so much work.

Yeah, but that's how much they trust us to govern ourselves.

We should think of it as work worth doing.

You're so mature.

Shuddup!

Oh, that's right, Miyazawa?

Yes?

What kind of music do you listen to?

What?

Music?

I think I like Brahms...

That deep and magnificent music has something that appeals to the soul.

Actually, I love Hideki, you know?

I especially like Piano Concerto No. 2.

And I want to listen to that piece

I especially like Boomerang. That's really awesome!

conducted by Karl Böhm, but I can't find it.

Oh, if it's that CD, I have it at home.

If you want, I'll lend it to you sometime.

Midterm exams are soon, so maybe when that's over.

Really? Thank you.

He's a rich boy.

Miyazawa!

Going home?

Yup. Arima, what about club?

It's before exams, so no club this week.

You take the Nanbu Line, right?

Do you mind if I come along part way?

Yeah, sure.

Please no!

Now, study, study!

Sis, let's play together for once!

You haven't played with us at all since you started high school!

No!

I must defeat Arima on his high horse!

Yukino's image of Arima twisted

Once again, down with Arima!

Arima's taken Sis away from us!

You used to play with us all the time!

Boring! Boring!

Besides, the one who's on a high horse and being proud is you!

Darn it! Why do you always make side comments?!

I was studying as if something had possessed me.

A View of Overthrowing Arima

A View of Overthrowing Arima

Somehow, rather than wanting to be number one and be noticed by others,

A View of Overthrowing Arima

I felt my goal changing bit by bit into: "I want to win against Arima".

A View of Overthrowing Arima

Sis!

You can't do more than this!

You're gonna die!

How will he look when he's lost?

And then...

Wow! Miyazawa, you're amazing!

You really are amazing!

Congratulations!

I knew Arima was amazing, but you're great too!

I never knew until now.

You beat Arima!

You're so great!

You're amazing!

I... I did it!

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!

It's been so long since I've heard this pealing of admiration.

Oh, it feels so good!

I won against Arima!

Miyazawa Yukino's high school debut!

Heart's desire granted

Celebrate

Farewell to myself, who was looking for a me that I didn't want.

And hello again to my future me who will show my real self.

Oh, Miyazawa.

So, you've come, Arima.

But this isn't your world anymore!

Starting from now, you'll be enveloped in a dismal feeling,

Imagination

Crushed

Crushed

Crushed

Crushed

Crushed

Crushed

you'll burn in the flames of humiliation,

and instead of me, you'll see the same Hell that I tasted!

Bump

Bump

Bump

Bash Bash

And at that time,

I'll speak words filled with sympathy and pity: "I wish you luck next time".

And so, I'll make my victory into a more concrete and definite thing!

Come!

Show me your face, warped with humiliation!

You really are amazing after all.

What?

Wait a minute.

What's with that reaction?

I wasn't expecting this.

Unexpected turn of events

I thought that all I had to do was surpass Arima in order to win...

What is this?

I won, but I'm not happy. Or rather...

Something's different.

If only I'd thought about it, I would've known.

I alone was obsessing about grades and appearance...

and Arima never cared about those things to begin with!

People acknowledged him,

even without the ulterior motive of wanting to win.

That's why he's the "real thing".

I'm ashamed of myself for being so different compared to that "real thing".

And here, I've been acting like that good person and deceiving everyone.

Isn't that called "hypocrisy"?

Hypocrisy

Deeds that are only outwardly good. > "-crite" hypocricy (hi-pok'ri-se)

I wonder when it was... that I started to feel happy about being praised?

You're so good.

What a dependable and good child you are.

Those were sweet words. I wanted to hear more.

Maybe I could surprise them more if I can spin on the horizontal bar.

If I could play the piano well...

If I can write Chinese characters...

Miyazawa: 47

Ishizaki: 5

If I can become representative of my class...

Miyazawa Yukino

Tatsuo Nagayama

If I can get number one on exams...

Now that I think about it, I'm such a popularity freak.

If I had raised my true self without restraints,

I might have become a comedian who has sway of the world.

Shoot! I could've appeared on nationally popular TVshows...

and become the popular girl of the living room!

And so... Even if I make myself appear to be more than I really am,

all I got myself was exhaustion.

Trying to become a creature that was not me was an idiotic thing to do.

Idiot! Idiot! I'm such an idiot!

How depressing... I don't wanna meet up with Arima.

If so, all I had to do was come to school just on time,

but due to the habit of many years, I arrived early before anyone else.

And I have time, so I end up studying.

Oh, I know! I'll go to the music room!

I can pass time playing the piano until homeroom starts...

Owowowowow...

Oh, sorry.

I... I'm... sorry!

Dammit! Why do I meet up with him every time I do something stupid?!

Run away! I'm a loser!

Nobody's here yet?

Already running away

Wait!

I want you to remember...

Miyazawa,

I love you.

Chocolate cigarette (out of fashion)

Hm... having someone confess their feelings to you feels pretty good.

Sis, you were always popular.

The fact that it was Arima is the good part.

I don't care about winning or losing anymore.

Because he has a crush on me, after all.

The rule of falling in love.

In love, the one who is loved, wins.

And? What did you do?

What?

I refused, of course. I don't want my identity to become known.

He looked lonely and left.

Are you sure about this?

What do you mean?

Clap Clap Clap

First, he stole her position of class representative...

Sis Yukino, do you hate him?

Depressed

Wow, he's amazing

This sucks!

Furious

Sis Yukino fails to debut in high school!!

Oh, damn it!

I've never been so humiliated in my 15 years!

I thought he bothered you because you had a complex towards him.

Urgh!

You're awesome!

That should be my place!

Then, Arima...

Yes, Ma'am.

The inflection of "tamae".

A conditional verb indicating humility and it is a Shimonidan conjugation?

Classical ...Japanese

Hm... True, now that you mention it, it was a complex.

Damn it!

Sis, if you look at a complex from a different angle,

isn't it an admiration of something you'll never become?

I finally did it!

How do you like that, Arima?!

I've won!

Haha

You're amazing, Miyazawa.

Huh?

Crushed

Crushed

Crushed

I see... I alone was obsessing about grades and appearance...

That's why he's the "real thing".

...and Arima never cared about those things to begin with!

That was...

the image that I was always trying to get close to.

Or rather, it's exactly my ideal image.

Oh, shoot!

That's right. Now that I think about it, he's a great guy!

See?

We tried explaining Sis's current situation

using a happy song and comics.

You are so very clever.

I'd never looked at him like that, so...

What a rash thing I've done...

Well, there's no helping what I've already refused.

I'm going to sleep.

What?!

So that's your response?!

Sis is so...

She's still a kid, that's why.

The Next Day

Bamboo... Bamboo poles.

A sunny Sunday

Kano, where's the money?!

On the desk!

What about the reserved tickets?!

I have those.

Do you have a comb?!

Look for it yourself!

What?! I can't find it!

You'd better take umbrellas.

Isn't it by the bathroom sink?!

They said it's gonna start to get worse in the afternoon!

I looked there!

Are you really not coming?

The movie'll be fun.

Let's go play!

No, I'm fine.

I'm tired from the exams.

Sis Tsukino, hurry!

The movie's gonna start!

Really, you just had to sleep in!

Oh, I'm so vewy, vewy sowwy.

Are you really sorry?!

Now, it's quiet.

Father and Mother are out shopping.

The Sunday that comes only once a week.

In the end, being lazy at home is the best.

That day...

That day...

Why did I let my guard down at that time?

Why did I let my guard down at that time?

I bet it's Tsukino.

She forgot her umbrella after all.

Yes! Yes! Yes!!

I...

I...

Here, here's what you forgot!

The mistake that I had never made...

The mistake that I had never made...

I made it.

I made it.

Bamboo... Bamboo poles.

Bamboo... Bamboo poles.

Um...

B...Brahms' CD...

I... I was passing nearby... so I thought I'd drop it off...

Even then, Arima still tried to act politely.

What tremendous spiritual strength and self-constraint.

No really, he's an admirable guy.

In that Arima's life,

I am probably the first woman to have upset him this much.

For today,

I decided things were good...

by being proud of that.
