I learn something more about you yet again

and look into your eyes

You may dream

of that pure love turning into wings

A synopsis of what's happened!

Our Sis, the masked model student, Miyazawa Yukino.

Quote, high school freshman, end quote.

She is a great queen of vanity!

No matter what, showing off her image is her greatest purpose in life!

From the outside, she's pretty, gifted with both brains and looks.

She acted the perfect model student in front of the public.

A real narcissistic woman!

But due to Sis's huge mistake, her mask has finally been peeled away.

The fortunate, or perhaps unfortunate, person to discover her true identity.

A very rare person.

His name is Arima Souichirou!

Quote, high school freshman, end quote.

He's a real super model student, too!

Good grades, good at sports, with a good personality that everyone likes.

Though they're different,

they come to share a secret as two-faced model students.

After that, they become partners in the class committee.

Good friends.

They pass the level of being more than friends, less than a couple,

and finally arrive at the relationship of boyfriend and girlfriend.

And influenced by each other's lives,

they decide to live for their real happiness from now on.

I'm so glad for you, Sis.

But the world isn't so simple and easy, ya know?

That's right. The world is tough!

As if to test their relationship,

the extremely busy school events that prevent them from seeing each other.

The sports fest menace!

The perverted, handsome guy with loose morals, Asaba Hideaki appears.

He acts mean to Sis and plots to make them break up if possible,

so he could use Arima when he became single...

to achieve his own ambition of the Asaba Maryland.

Getting carried away by their love-power, the two of them goof off.

And therein lies their final exam grades.

And due to that, Sis feels a one-sided estrangement!

On top of that, the teachers try to stop their grades from stagnating.

The interference and pressure that involve even their parents.

Independently analyzing Sis's actions,

Isawa Maho sees her true identity, and with her leadership,

all the girls in the class ignore Miyazawa.

Shibahime Tsubasa had cared for Arima since middle school.

Her hardcore jealous opposition!

A temporary separation from Arima due to summer club activities.

On top of that, the mid-summer sun is terrible to a high school girl's skin!

And so, enduring these numerous trials one after another,

Sis makes friends,

and steadily makes progress in her relationship with Arima.

That woman sure doesn't give up.

So, after all of that, her first high school summer break has arrived.

Sis goes hanging out with her new friends!

Tea, karaoke, window shopping...

They accomplish a standard list of activities one after another.

Oh, Sis has finally made a proper debut with friends!

But by then, she was already involved in the problems of another household.

And the story of the person in question, Shibahime Tsubasa, is...!

I won't acknowledge a remarriage.

I'll take back Daddy from that woman, no matter what I do.

So, that's the situation...

Can I let her stay the night?

Ended up coming along.

The Location of Happiness

I knew it. I thought it'd be something like that.

Really!

That monkey is so...

I'm glad I called. I'll come over now.

Thank you!

Thank you

Yes! Yes, yes!

Hello. I'm sorry that idiot's been causing you problems.

Tsubasa, we're going home!

No way! I'm not going back to a place like that!

I'm not going home until Daddy splits with that woman!

What kind of stupid talk is that in someone else's house?!

Hurry up and get ready to go home, you shit monkey!

Shut up! I said I didn't want to!

What're you sticking your nose in for?! You pervert bastard!

Heh, besides I don't need you anymore.

Will you stop acting so familiar towards me from now on?

Teary Eyed

That hurt.

What're you crying for?! You really piss me off!!

No! No!

Shut up and quit causing me trouble!

We're going home! Come on!

I don't wanna!

No!

Oh, hurry up!

I said, I don't wanna!

Wo... Wow... I can't say... anything...

Stop this nonsense!

No! Let go!

Starting from a stalemate, the situation is only getting worse.

Daughter Love

Now, now, no need to take her home by force when she doesn't want to.

One or two more people in the house won't be a problem.

It's summer break, after all.

We don't really mind...

Daughter Love

Daughter Love

Daughter Love

Daughter Love

Wow, that's too nice!

This is her way of doing things!

She knows she's cute!

If you're nice to her, she'll use you!

Shut up. Hurry up and go home.

You can kiss my butt!

Oh, I want to go home.

By the way, I told your dad about this.

He said he'd come here straight from work.

What?!

Stop acting spoiled already.

Resolve your own problems yourself.

I'm sorry.

And you came all this way.

Oh, she really pisses me off.

Sometimes she makes me want to hang her upside down and whip her.

S&M. A world beyond me...

Well, I can understand why she's like that, though.

Her family's pretty complicated, you see?

Tsubasa's mother passed away when she gave birth to Tsubasa.

So, her father really dotes on her,

but he's busy with work, so he had to leave her at other people's places.

She grew up in an environment like that, so...

When I first met her in kindergarten,

she'd crouch in a corner, not talking and not making friends.

A basic part of her emotions hasn't been satisfied.

Even so, she'd been doing well with her father.

But her father now wants to marry some other woman.

It's understandable that she wouldn't like it.

I think she's never been satisfied.

All the members of my family are here,

so I can only imagine how it'd be,

but she wasn't given what everyone else took for granted.

I guess she's had to fill that void by herself somehow.

She's had to go through struggles like that.

That must be... hard, you know?

What's with you?! You don't know anything about Arima!

Arima knew how that felt.

That's why he thought of Tsubasa as a kid sister.

Back then, there was no room in Arima's heart to love someone.

He'd bury his past in his memories,

and he'd work on staying perfect.

That was all he could handle.

While he saw no one else, Tsubasa alone was special.

Because somewhere in their hearts, they know that they're of a kind.

Because somewhere in their hearts,

they know that they're "of a kind".

When the two of them are together, it's beautiful, but...

It's very beautiful,

but somehow, there's a sense of great sadness.

You know, I don't think I've ever seen Tsubasa really laugh.

She's like this right now,

but I hope someday, everything will be all right and she'll become happy.

I think that her real smile will be very cute.

Yeah.

Thanks for walking me.

I'm sorry she's causing you trouble,

but take care of that monkey, will ya?

Okay.

What's with you?! You don't know anything about Arima!

Perhaps Arima is a lot more complicated

and confused than I'd thought.

It may be that I still... only know one part of Arima.

Let's eat!

Dinner! Dinner!

Please don't hesitate and eat all you want.

It's summer, so if you don't eat, you'll get sick.

Well, this isn't much, but...

Oh, not at all.

Please don't mind us.

I guess that isn't possible.

Man, hahaha, um, Yukino's never had friends over for the night before.

I'm kind of nervous.

Why are you embarrassed?

Oh, please! What could he be thinking of?

Somehow, it's really nasty.

You know?

Daughters are my life

This family is so...

This is it!

Yay! Blue one!

Blue eight!

Blue three!

Blue two!

Blue zero.

Uh, oh, I'm sorry, Dear! Draw four!

Already?

Oh, fine.

I just have to draw four, right?

Now, the greatest crisis in their married relationship!

Then, green five!

Grin, grin, grin. Skip!

Oh, Tsukino, you're mean!

Green one.

Wild and yellow.

All right, Dear.

Leave yellow up to me.

I've got lots.

Their married relationship, already completely repaired.

Then, yellow four.

Skip, skip, la la la!

Again?!

Excuse me. Reverse.

Yes!

Just your luck. Skip!

What?! How dare you?!

Then, yellow two.

Yellow eight.

Draw two!

Uno.

What? What?

We've got to stop her!

We have to stop her on the honor of the Miyazawa household.

Oh, no! I can't stop her!

Wait, wait, why am I the only one with so many cards?

It's all right!

I've got lots of cards, too, so I have everything!

Here you go. Reverse!

All right! That's our father!

Okay, green five.

I wonder if this is what a normal family is like?

Was Arima drawn to that part of her, too?

Drawn to a happy family that doesn't seem to know what hardship is.

I'm done.

What?!

It's no good right now.

You idiot!

I'm sorry!!

I can only see it as painful.

The third defeat of the Miyazawa household!

I told you, Father. You don't deal right.

That's right!

Isn't it hard for him to be near a family like this?

All right, one more time! One more time!

Neither happiness nor sadness is ever permanent

Neither happiness nor sadness is ever permanent

Chapter

Coming!

I am truly sorry to be bothering you so late.

Handsome father!!

Handsome father!

Truly Tsubasa's flesh and blood.

His features are delicate.

I'm not sure what to say...

It seems that my daughter has been causing problems...

Well, well, it seems that there's a lot going on,

so why don't you come in and take your time talking to her?

W-Well then...

Mr. Shibahime?

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Are you all right?

But he doesn't seem all that dependable...

It seems that there has been a disagreement...

between my daughter and me about my remarriage.

I am embarrassed to have troubled your household.

I can really understand that feeling!

A daughter's wish of not wanting someone to take her dad.

You know?

You shut up.

Don't stick your nose in!

My wife passed away right after she had our daughter.

Ever since then, we've made do somehow.

But recently, my daughter ran into a stone wall on her skateboard.

She was buried under the stones, undiscovered for an entire night.

The accident put her in the hospital.

I came to feel an extreme sense of uneasiness at our current life,

Harsh wind

with me having to work and take care of a child at the same time.

And at a time like that, she was the one who gave me encouragement.

She was a nurse at the hospital ward.

As we talked, I learned that she, too, had parted with her husband in death,

and that she's leading a life alone with her child.

We sort of hit it off.

Even before that,

I'd thought she was sort of cool for doing her work so quickly and neatly.

And after that, I came to be more self-conscious of her.

Oh! Japanese Samurai Westerns

When Tsubasa left the hospital,

I mustered the courage to ask her to a movie.

The "Kyoushirou Nemuri" series was in the theatres.

We'd say the actor, Raizou Ichikawa, was really cool.

And also, the "Sazen Tange" series was also good.

Swordfighting

I'm digressing, but the "Pot of A Million Gold Coins" was good.

And the realistic way the director portrayed...

the protagonist was really good, too.

And on TV, shows about the Shinsen Group, the Bakumatsu,

and historical dramas are good, too, but in the end the best ones are...

"Detectives of the Great Edo" and the "Fang of Edo".

Our opinions matched perfectly and we had a lot to talk about.

Who asked you to tell the beginning of a love story?!

That's true.

So that's why I thought it wouldn't be a bad thing to consider remarriage.

I thought that would be the happiest thing for everyone.

But why is it that all you do is fight me...

and you won't even try to think about it?

Because I don't need a new family.

Don't go off deciding what would make me happy.

I don't like outsiders coming into our house.

I don't like them messing in the kitchen without permission.

I don't like you laughing with another woman!

I can't think of someone like that as a mother!

I'm fine the way things have always been!

Tsubasa, do you hate me?

Yeah.

Pretending to be my mother and trying to gain favor...

It's obvious that you're trying to score points.

Tsubasa!

It's all right.

Tsubasa, that's not true.

I only have a son, so I'm just happy to be taking care of a girl.

I honestly wish that you were my real daughter.

That's true.

If it's being the mother of a cute girl like her, I'd want to try it, too.

What's that supposed to mean?

Don't say creepy things like that.

You're just aiming for the remarriage.

There aren't that many cool men out there who make good money like Daddy.

Tsubasa! Enough is enough!

Apologize to Ms. Ikeda!

Why?!

Why do you take her side all the time?!

Why won't you listen to what I have to say at all?!

I want to stay just the two of us!

I want to always, always stay just the two of us!

Why do you just blame me like I'm being spoiled?!

Why won't you understand my feelings at all?!

Tsubasa...

Don't touch me, you hag.

Warm family

You hit me.

You've never hit me before...

Ha...Ha...Hard core fight...

Um...

This is how things are, so shall we keep her here for the night?

Uh, um... but...

At times like these, it would be better to leave her alone for a while.

I see...

Tsubasa...

It's not that I don't love you anymore.

When I learned that you'd been in an accident, I thought I'd go crazy.

I'd lost your mother, and if you died now,

I didn't think I could go on living.

It was really hard for me to endure by myself, burdened with such a fear.

I'm human.

I'm not perfect.

I wanted someone who would be there for me.

To keep on living from now on.

It's not as if we're going to get married right away.

Just that, I want you to think about it with me.

Because if we all think about it together,

someday, we might find a happier place to be.

I'm very sorry to have bothered you in so many ways.

Not at all.

We couldn't do much for you.

Same generation camaraderie

There's a lot going on, but don't give up!

Yes...

Seeing them off

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Bye-bye.

Girls, even if I part with your mother in death,

I'll never ever remarry, okay?

Hey, don't go killing me off!

Come to think of it, there's watermelon in the fridge!

Seeing you reminded us.

Thanks, Father!

Let's eat! Let's eat!

I love watermelon... maybe...

Bad sleeping posture.

Having sad dream

Why am I here, too...?

Tsubasa.

Tsubasa, you're my treasure.

I love you more than anything in the world.

I love you more than anyone. Anyone.

Daddy used to say that,

but in reality, that woman's become more precious to him now.

Maybe it's become a burden for him to raise me.

He might want an escape from me.

That's not true.

You know that, don't you?

Everyone cares a lot about you.

I hate all men.

They treat you kindly,

but in the end, they always choose another woman.

I hope that someday, someone will appear and fulfill Tsubasa's heart.

Good work.

Good work.

Good work.

Kazuma, you've got a good thing going.

It's a waste to be only a backup.

I'll give you more parts, so sing more.

What? Really?!

All right!

Man, you're so sassy.

You just got into high school.

This isn't funny!

Give 'im a kiss! Kiss 'im!

Oh, please stop it!

You all smell so sweaty! Really!

Oh, come to think of it, I heard your mother might remarry.

What? Is that true?

That's kind of complicated.

But it's got nothing to do with me.

It's like, I don't really care as long as Mom's happy.

Teary Eyed

I see.

You're so caring about your mother.

You're great, Zumappi.

Want me to give ya a kiss?

They're good people, but they're just a little on the wild side.

I just can't tell them the guy's got a daughter my age.

Because if we all think together

we might find a happier place...

To be continued

A synopsis of what's to come!

Sis can't do anything about the problems of the other household!

And outside attacks and self-denial drive Shibahime Tsubasa to apathy.

What in the world will the appearance of Ikeda Kazuma bring to her?!

Next time, His and Hers: The Subjectivity of Happiness!

The Subjectivity of Happiness

I want a boyfriend, too.
