Warning Due to various circumstances, the opening animation attached to Act 7 will be omitted. Please take note of this. A synopsis of what's happened. The time: Around now. The place: Somewhere in Kawasaki City in Kanagawa Prefecture This tale begins in a completely normal town. The main character of this tale, Miyazawa Yukino (HS Freshman), is pretty, gifted with both looks and intelligence, and leads a life above reproach. She seemed just as if she was educated and cultured.

But in actuality, showing off was her greatest purpose in life. She was actually a masked woman who acted out the perfect model student only in public. And on a certain sunny Sunday, due to a stupid, infinitely careless mistake, the truth became known to Arima Souichirou (HS Freshman). Using her weakness, he trapped her into his scheme of making her do his work. But, after all sorts of things happened, she got pissed off and the plan was set back. But the reason for the plot was actually for him to have an excuse to talk to her. When this became clear, the two made peace. Since then, having obtained new friendship, new experiences, etc, things seemed to be going their way.

And then...

July Final exams end

Arima Souichirou entered school with the top score in the entrance exams.

Miyazawa Yukino later becomes the top scorer in the midterm exams.

They lead a separate and conspicuous existence.

Everyone compared those two and must have thought...

they would be rivals for the top spot throughout the three years.

But right now, what's between them is love!

Their Estrangement

You guys, be quiet! It's Sunday, you'll disturb the neighbors!

But we haven't gone out with you in so long!

I'm so happy! I'm so happy! I'm so happy!

That's true.

Ever since high school started, I haven't paid much attention to you.

She was paying attention to Arima during that time

High Tension

Rice

Ramen

High Tension

Getting so excited like that...

I should play with them more often from now on.

Bro!!

Yeah!!

Hmph!

Weird sisters...

Oh, welcome.

Sorry for bothering you on a weekend.

Not at all. My parents are out today, too.

Come in.

Hello.

Oh... ♡ He is nice... ♡

He...Hel...lo.

Oh... ♡ He is nice... ♡

Oh... ♡ He is nice... ♡

Oh... ♡ He is nice... ♡

Oh... ♡ He is nice... ♡

Oh... ♡ He is nice... ♡

Thinking too far ahead.

This is our older brother...

And what are they going to do with the sunflowers?

Planning to give those two ice cream later

They're both in the animal committee in middle school.

Wow, what a big yard.

And right now, the hamsters have been breeding a lot,

You could fit three of our houses here.

so they're all going to grow more sunflower seeds in the summer...

and use it for food.

It's a great help that you're letting us borrow your yard.

Our yard is too crowded.

Our yard is already overgrown with sunflowers this year.

That's fine.

Middle school sounds like fun.

Peropero, hurry up!

A-Asapin!

(Asaba)

A...Asapin!

Yo, it's you.

Oh, please! What're you doing here?!

In a bathrobe after a bath

You look creepy!

Bothered

He's been staying here since last night.

Last night, I slept with Arima.

Just in the same room.

Arima was real indecent last night.

What's indecent is your mind.

Tsukino, Kano, he's dangerous,

so stay away from this creepy guy, okay?

Arima!

Okay!

But he somehow joined in anyway

You wanna dig here, too?

It doesn't really matter, but are you naked under that?

Spaced out

Come, Ryuusei-ou!

Hey, it's Peropero!

Miyazawa.

Hmm?

Don't go changing his name!

How were your finals?

Yeah!

Well, they weren't that great.

You, too, huh?

Actually, me, too.

Oh, really?

We've been goofing off a lot, after all.

Well, that's fine.

We were goofing off, knowing the consequences.

That's... fine, but...

But still, it's not fun giving up the top spot...

that I'd always worked so hard for.

But it doesn't matter.

We were doing something that's more important than studying.

I was happier just being with you.

Miyazawa...

Asleep

At that moment, we were truly at peace.

I thought there was nothing that could separate us.

Let's work hard next time.

Come on, let's go eat.

Miyazawa?

Why are you third?

I'm thirteenth.

Already a deep and wide chasm has developed between them

You studied behind my back, didn't you?!

I... I didn't! As if I would!

Heh

Why're you nervous?

Oh, I've been tricked!

I never thought you were the geeky type to go study in secret!

I said, I didn't!

Come on, calm down!

Yesterday, you said I was more important than studying!

What? I never said anything like that.

Arima Souichirou and Miyazawa Yukino of 1-A.

Immediately come to the student discipline room.

I repeat.

Arima Souichirou and Miyazawa Yukino of 1-A.

Class 1-A

Immediately come to the student discipline room.

What could it be?

I really thought there was nothing that could separate us.

Um, is there something you want, Mr. Kawashima?

It's the freshmen faculty advisor.

What is this serious atmosphere?

You look as though you don't know why you were called here.

I suppose that's to be expected.

Both of you have never even been in this room before.

You are both extremely excellent students.

Your grades and living habits are flawless.

Eventually, you'll both become capable people...

who will heighten this school's reputation even more.

I look forward to it.

Now, have you both seen the finals posted?

Student Discipline Data

Yes, we just saw them.

Your grades have dropped quite a bit.

It isn't like you at all.

What is the meaning of this?

This is the result of my own negligence.

Is it the same with you, Arima?

Yes.

I will make sure that this does not happen again.

I see.

By the way, recently, I hear rumors that go like this...

Are they true?

Right now,

you two share a relationship that is more than friendship,

and you went out a lot during the critical time before exams.

If that is true, of course, your studies will be neglected.

In other words, is that your definition of negligence?

Is this an inquiry?

We have no obligation to answer such questions!

Of course, we do not want to interfere in students' private lives.

But you two...

Your futures are much too full of promise.

You are people who must think of the future.

In other words, you do not think our relationship is desirable.

Well, that's right.

That it would be harmful to our futures.

To put it bluntly, that's what we mean.

I'm sure you can understand.

The foolishness of taking on risks right now.

As your instructors, we cannot let it slide.

This is for your futures.

Never to Yield

Chapter

Never to Yield

That's right, your futures are far too promising.

Right now, you should put your studies before anything else.

Until just recently, it felt good to be a model student.

To begin with, I was a crafty, schemey child.

Oh, very good.

Everyone, let's all work hard so we can soon play as well as Yukino.

Okay!

Okay!

You pull the class along, so it's a great help.

Yes, thank you very much, teacher.

Oh, you're so cute.

Well, Yukino, I'll see you tomorrow.

Smirk

Looks like the teacher's completely taken with me.

Captivating adults is easier than taking candy from a baby.

I've always been a child who likes to plot.

In any case, I wanted to make myself look good.

No one knows that, in order to be number one in class,

Yuki, your coloring doesn't look good...

I practiced the recorder until 1:00 AM until I almost vomited blood.

You're playing the recorder looking like the Devil's in you.

I'd say that my favorite book was "Momo" by Michael Ende,

but I'd secretly read books like "The Road to Becoming a Millionaire"...

and "Ways to Increase Your Fortunes A Hundred Fold".

They don't know that.

Love, friendship, and trust were never on my mind.

How to make myself look the most splendid.

Polishing my techniques was my joy in life.

It was a personality that was rather eccentric,

but I didn't mind it at all, because I was excellent.

I was confident...

That I was doing well.

That I was leading a smart way of life.

Someday, I'd be a high-ranking official or a lawyer.

I'd go the way of the elite in the spotlight of life.

I will speed down the open highroad as I bathed in people's admiration.

That's the life!

Nothing will make me hesitate.

What other splendid way of life could there be?

But... But... I would find out later...

But...

...that in the end, I didn't understand anything.

I see. The top scorers both dropped their grades together.

I guess they'd panic.

Darn! I hadn't thought this far ahead.

Your grades this time must be dissatisfactory even to you two.

Stop seeing each other and concentrate on studying.

But Mr. Kawashima!

I understand your concern, but still,

I cannot be satisfied with being interfered with like this.

I am more surprised that you two can't be satisfied with this.

Are you saying you don't mind wasting these precious three years...

that will determine your futures?

But...

You can have a relationship once you're in college.

Both of you should look harder at your futures and...

No.

I do not want to do that.

Of course, I understand how you feel, Miyazawa.

But sometimes, people must make sacrifices for their goals.

You can't live your life over again.

You two are excellent.

In the future, you can live in any way you might desire.

It might seem unfair to you now,

but someday, you will definitely understand that it was for the better.

Polish yourselves for now.

You only have to be patient for three years.

I understand that.

I used to think that way until just recently, too.

I believed that it was the smart way to live life.

But it is wrong.

It's only a petty way to live life.

I had thought that I was the smartest in that way, so I didn't hesitate.

But I met Arima.

Arima smiled at the real me.

My first real friend.

I knew for the first time what it felt like to be accepted by someone.

The feeling of excitement in being able to laugh with someone.

How precious the things are that I never even used to look twice at.

I think back, and I wonder, was it so great to act the model student?

Miyazawa! Watch your language!

It's rude to Mr. Kawashima!

Apologize!

Isn't this enough already?

I cannot be satisfied with what you say either.

We will study.

We will prove to you that we can reconcile the two.

You should have no problems with that.

Make sure you don't forget those words.

Go back to your classroom.

I didn't know you two were thinking that way.

Sigh

That sure wrecked your sweet, talented, pretty girl image.

D'oh

In all honesty, those teachers have got to be pretty surprised.

But still!

Why do we have to take that from them?!

Well, sure.

We don't have to worry about it.

All we have to do is get grades that they can't complain about.

And besides, we're trying to change into our real selves.

There'll be some conflicts along the way.

You're right.

In any case, guess we better study, huh?

Yeah.

The feeling of security that someone will be there for you.

When I'm with Arima, the atmosphere around us clears up.

I never felt like this, even when I got number one or people praised me.

I can honestly believe that my current self is the right one.

That's why I believe that meeting Arima was a very fortunate thing.

I'm home.

Oh, Yuki.

Huh?

Yuki, did something happen at school today?

For some reason, I got a call from school this afternoon.

They said, "There's something we would like to tell you in person".

And they want us to go there.

What could this be?

But still, there are all sorts of problems.

Never to Yield

Never to Yield

Chapter

Good morning.

Good morning.

Why do they have to go this far?

They didn't have to go call our parents to school.

Arima's childhood is complicated,

and he loves his uncle and aunt who loved him and raised him.

It must be really hard for him to cause them any kind of worry.

Sorry, the teachers got mad all because I rebelled without thinking.

What? That's not your fault.

Besides, I was thinking the same thing as you.

Did you get scolded at home or anything?

M-My family?

What is this?

Shock

Yukino got us called to the school?

Thirteenth place on finals.

I'll go to school tomorrow.

Me, me! I would like to go, too!

The will to go

Why do you want to go so much?

The will to go

It's for my dear daughter.

And it's great that we'll be fighting for love!

Back in the old days, your mother and I fought, too.

Clap!

We married young, so...

When I asked your grandfather for his permission,

he beat me black 'n blue.

I remember. You looked like a bloody ball.

Fighting against teachers!

It gives me shivers of excitement!

Hey! Don't make things any worse, okay?!

Don't worry. Your father used to learn karate and stuff...

If he gets serious...

That's not what I meant!

Dear, let's take weapons! Weapons!

Oh, my, let's.

Pops!

Well, we'll both go tomorrow, so leave it to us!

No, I didn't get scolded. I'm fine, I'm fine.

This is bad!!

That's a huge problem in itself!

Those parents are coming!

Those parents are terrifying because I can't predict their next move!!

Why can't we do things the way we want to?

I know that studying is important,

but what's the point of studying when you have to sacrifice your emotions?

Even if I got the top score that way, I can't be happy about it.

Right now, there's something I want to hold more precious than that.

I was really happy that you went against the teachers.

We won't give up at a thing like this,

but somehow, the world is a pain to deal with.

I want to be myself.

I want to be free.

That's all there is to it, and they can't understand that.

Mr. Miyazawa?

Thank you for always taking care of our son.

S-She is not worthy, but please make our daughter happy...

Blush

It's way too early for that!

Nice tackle.

I feel like you gouged out my intestines.

You are just so...!

You shouldn't do such things in public.

Student Discipline Room

Now, I asked for the parents to attend this session,

because I believe this will deeply influence your children's futures.

Both of them possess very excellent intellects.

You must all be very expectant of their promising futures.

Pops.

But right now, they have made a mistake in their judgments.

It is outrageous that they were preoccupied with their relationship...

during exams and dropped their grades.

I can only think that they lost their minds.

They are about to step off their path.

I would like the parents to speak to them.

No matter how you gloss it over,

relationships can only hinder their studies.

Letting themselves get carried away by temporary emotions...

is not something people of excellence do.

Mr. Kawashima, please take that back!

Souichirou.

Neither of them will listen to us at all.

So I would like you to convince them.

But Mr. Kawashima...

In that case,

why do you think they'll step off the path if they keep their relationship?

Why?!

As you can see, it's already appeared in their grades!

Aren't you worried about your daughter's future?

But you know, Yukino's too smart for being our kid.

You know?

It's a little annoying.

For all this time,

our daughter has always decided everything for herself.

So I have never instructed her to do anything.

Of course, I can understand what you are saying,

but because I think of her future, I do not wish to restrict her.

I feel that I would take away all of my child's possibilities...

if I restrict her now and make her face her studies.

I believe children have the right to freely think and feel for themselves.

Studying is important,

but a day in high school is far more precious

than a month is in adulthood.

Then you do not care?

Are you saying that you do not mind if your children regret it later?

Mr. Arima, you, too?

Yes.

We have already been given so much.

All we could ever do was praise him.

He has never troubled us with anything.

In the future, even if a day comes when he is in trouble,

we almost look forward to being able to worry together.

No matter how it looks, I guess my parents did think things over.

She used to see her father that way

I guess he wasn't just a big kid brother.

Yeah.

Yukino! Yukino!

In the end, he's still only a big kid brother.

We're gonna have tea with Mr. and Mrs. Arima, so see you later!

Yuki, would you wash the rice for me?

In the end, he's still only a big kid brother.

Pops! Be quiet at school!

Well, shall we go?

Oh, please excuse us.

Thank you for waiting. Come, let's go, let's go.

Let's go, let's go.

Um, this way, there's a good tea shop that my wife knows.

What'll we do? You want to say it?

I suppose the teachers must have been worried for us in their own way...

After all, thoughtfulness around this stage is what makes a model student.

Mr. Kawashima.

Hmm? What is it?

You haven't gone home yet?

We are sorry that we said all sorts of rude things.

We intend to study properly.

Do as you think best.

These days, I can't tell what most students are thinking anymore.

I was happy to deal with students

who have thoughts of their own for once.

Be careful on your way home.

There are times when things don't go well,

but there are things you begin to see because things don't go well.

Wanna go home now?

Sure!

We are still small flowers without names.

We are small beings that finally budded,

supported by those larger than us.

But we dream...

of the day when we will eventually blossom under the wide open sky.
