00:00Hiro, have you read this week's Toki Love?

00:04Of course!

00:05Miru is the best as always!

00:08I'm Hiro Yamada, an introverted and nerd high school boy.

00:12This guy, who is as excited as me, is Tamotsu Otakura, one of my few nerdy friends.

00:19That scene where Miru's unwavering love comes through is the best, right?

00:24It truly reflects her innocence.

00:27Whoa!

00:29This voice is...

00:31It seems like the princess has arrived.

00:35Good morning, everyone.

00:38Good morning, princess!

00:40Princess, you look beautiful today, too!

00:44Haru, look at me!

00:48Oh, come on! Your eyes are like a million volts!

00:52Thank you, everyone!

00:56Whoa!

00:57Haru, you're amazing!

01:00The best of the morning!

01:03Wow, her popularity is as incredible as ever.

01:07Ugh...

01:09The girl called Princess is Haru Okada.

01:12Despite being the complete opposite of me, an introverted guy, she's actually my childhood friend.

01:20When we were young, we used to play together a lot.

01:24Hiro! Hiro! Am I cute?

01:27Hmm... Do I make a funny face?

01:30Everyone says I'm like a round snowman.

01:34Even if you're round, you're cute, Haru. You're Haru, after all.

01:38Really?

01:40Really!

01:41Hey, Hiro. Do you like me?

01:45I do!

01:46If you like me, will you stay with me forever?

01:50Of course!

01:52I'm happy!

01:54Hiro, don't ever leave me, okay?

01:58Yeah!

02:00There were some things, but she's probably forgotten all about them.

02:05Besides, if I accidentally call her Haru now, she'd probably get mad.

02:09Why did such a big gap develop between us?

02:13Sigh...

02:15Oh, what's wrong? You're sighing.

02:18It's nothing.

02:20If you keep sighing, happiness will run far away, you know.

02:25Miss Okada!

02:26That's why you aren't popular.

02:29Learn from me, you know?

02:31I'm always smiling, so something good happened today, too.

02:35Something good?

02:37Of course! A confession!

02:40Con-fe-tion.

02:44Even though he's from a different school, a really handsome guy confessed to me this morning.

02:51Sigh...

02:53He said he's been interested in me for a long time.

02:57Isn't it wonderful?

03:01Humans truly shine when they're loved, you know?

03:05Here we go again.

03:07Since entering junior high, she started to become more beautiful.

03:11She started dieting, dressing up, and rapidly transformed into a beauty.

03:17And as the beautiful Haru, she quickly became popular upon entering high school.

03:22She often gets confessed to, and she brags about it every chance she gets.

03:27It's so empty. I've liked her for so long.

03:32Every time she's praised for being popular, the gap between us becomes more apparent.

03:38It's really sad and painful.

03:41One day...

03:43Toki Love, this week was amazing too, right?

03:47That scene where Miru passionately pleads while crying was insane!

03:52I know, I know! That was incredible!

03:55Speaking of iconic scenes, there's that girl!

03:59Are you talking about manga again?

04:02What's going on today?

04:05I got confessed to again today!

04:09Today it was a handsome senior from the soccer club.

04:13He said he's had his eye on me because I'm cute.

04:17Being popular is such a bother, isn't it?

04:21Hey, Hiro, are you jealous?

04:25As an introvert, you can't have experiences like this, right?

04:29Not really. I'm not jealous or anything.

04:33I prefer things like manga anyway.

04:36And if you're going to call me an introvert or whatever, then just don't bother with me anymore.

04:42Hiro?

04:43Huh? Wait!

04:46Come on, the class is starting. Hurry back to your seat, okay?

04:51Ugh!

04:52I tried to act indifferent so she wouldn't realize.

04:56Ugh, I wonder if I did it convincingly enough.

05:01Maybe I could create more distance with her, but this is fine.

05:05This was the right thing to do to protect my heart.

05:08This should bring peace.

05:10Despite thinking that.

05:13Next morning.

05:14Hiro, would you like to have lunch together?

05:18Eating with me makes anybody happy, you know?

05:23Sorry, I'm having lunch today with Otakura and discuss about toki love.

05:28You can do that anytime.

05:31There's still more to talk about from this morning.

05:34Besides, not everything can be done anytime.

05:38Strike while the iron is hot.

05:40So, see you later.

05:42Ugh!

05:44Hey Hiro, how about we go home together today?

05:48Huh?

05:49I could walk you home sometimes.

05:53Sorry, today I'm going to a collaboration cafe with Otakura.

05:57I absolutely want Miro's exclusive merchandise.

06:01Let's go!

06:03Alright then, I'm off.

06:05Ugh!

06:07Wait!

06:09What is it?

06:10I want to go with you too.

06:13Sorry, this is by reservation only.

06:17Let's go together next time, okay?

06:19Ugh!

06:21Why is she trying to hang out with me?

06:24I told her not to bother me yesterday.

06:26So what's going on now?

06:29Without understanding her true intentions,

06:31I enjoyed the collaboration cafe and upon returning home...

06:36Hey Hiro.

06:38Why are you here?

06:40Your mom let me in.

06:42I told you not to bother me, right?

06:45Despite that, today you're approaching me like...

06:48I don't know about that.

06:50Whether I get involved or not is my business.

06:53Besides, you are too cheeky to be just Hiro.

06:58W-what?

06:59W-why are you hugging me?

07:02Anyway, I can't say that I won't get involved.

07:05Just go home already!

07:07No way!

07:10Why won't you leave?

07:11I'm no match for you right now.

07:14Shh!

07:15Who do you think I put all the effort into becoming cute for?

07:19Huh?

07:21I put in a lot of effort for you, Hiro.

07:24I became cute.

07:26What?

07:28What does that mean?

07:30It means nothing and everything.

07:33Anyway, I absolutely won't admit it.

07:37I might even start clinging to you.

07:39Be prepared.

07:41What's going to happen to me now?

07:44The next morning, after this incomprehensible declaration...

07:49Wake up, Hiro.

07:51Just five more minutes.

07:54Is five minutes enough?

07:55I'd be fine staying together all the time, you know.

07:59Huh?

08:01Wait, this isn't my mom, is it?

08:05Good morning, Hiro.

08:09Honestly, you're such a late riser.

08:12Miss Okada, why are you in my bed?

08:16Don't call me Miss Okada.

08:18It's sad.

08:20Just call me Haru.

08:22No, no, don't try to deceive me.

08:25When I came to pick you up, your mom let me in.

08:28So, since you were still sleeping, I thought I'd wake you up.

08:33Mom, it's too casual for a childhood friend.

08:37Are you happy that I woke you up?

08:40It's more embarrassing than happy, so just leave.

08:44You are so stingy.

08:47I'm not stingy.

08:50Seriously, what's going on?

08:52If I keep getting woken up like this, my heart won't be able to take it.

08:57For now, I can't be late, so I should change.

09:01Leave changing to me. I'll support you properly.

09:07Weren't you supposed to leave earlier?

09:10I felt the vibe of changing, so I came back.

09:13You didn't need to come back. I'm fine.

09:16No need to be shy. I'll help you perfectly.

09:20So just relax.

09:23I said I'm fine. I can change on my own.

09:27No need to be shy, okay?

09:31It's not about being shy. Just go away already.

09:36And even my way to a school.

09:41Haru, it's a bit hard to walk like this.

09:44This is fine for me. It's better this way.

09:47I want to be together.

09:49Even so...

09:52It's okay. It's nice to show off our lovey-dovey side.

09:56Lovey-dovey?

09:58Yes. Hiro and I are lovey-dovey.

10:02No, no. I have no idea what's going on.

10:06Another day.

10:08Come on, Hiro. Say ah.

10:11No, I can eat on my own.

10:14No need to hold back.

10:16Also, why are you here?

10:19I want to be by your side. Is that not okay?

10:23I'm supposed to discuss toki love with Otakuda.

10:27That's later. Right now is our time.

10:31Here, eat up.

10:36What? Why is it like this?

10:39I really don't understand at all.

10:42After declaring the estrangement, Haru started sticking around like this.

10:47Honestly, being able to be with her like this is nice.

10:52My feelings for her are getting stronger day by day,

10:55but I don't understand the meaning behind Haru's actions.

11:02Are you in trouble?

11:04Otaku.

11:06I'm not an otaku. I'm Otakuda. What's wrong?

11:11Lately, I don't understand Haru.

11:14Why does she go to such lengths for me?

11:17And she says it's all for my sake.

11:20Well, does she really like you?

11:23Huh? But I'm an introvert, you know?

11:26It doesn't match, right?

11:28That's what you think, but I don't think she sees it that way.

11:32If you have low self-esteem and insecurities,

11:35why not try changing yourself?

11:37By doing that, things might change.

11:40You love her, right?

11:43Why do you know?

11:45Your eyes are telling me that you are in love.

11:49I see. I lack confidence in myself and couldn't accept Haru.

11:54In that case, I'll do my best.

11:56I'll definitely become a man who suits Haru.

11:59Thanks for the advice, Otakuda.

12:02And so, training began on this day.

12:05Physical transformation, fashion, speaking style, and so on.

12:09I did everything I could.

12:12After a month passed...

12:14Yeah, I feel like I've shed a lot of my rough edges and look pretty good now.

12:20One day...

12:22I still have a long way to go, but I'm closer to Haru than before.

12:26Ah... Ah... Ah...

12:30Huh? Sumiko, are you okay?

12:34Ah, Hiro.

12:36Sumiko, a classmate of mine, was carrying a large load.

12:41That's quite a load you've got there.

12:43The teacher asked me to take it.

12:46I'll carry this for you.

12:48Eh? No, it's okay, really.

12:51It's fine, don't worry about it.

12:54Oh, thank you.

12:57If you ever need help, feel free to ask anytime.

13:00Carrying stuff is something I can do anytime.

13:04Ahaha, Hiro, you're kind.

13:07You think so?

13:09You helped me like this before, too.

13:12Hiro, you're always helping others like this.

13:15Thank you.

13:17I'm just doing what I can.

13:20That humble attitude of yours is charming.

13:24Charming? Don't tease me.

13:31A few days later, after school.

13:34Sorry for calling you out of the blue, Hiro.

13:37There's something I want to tell you.

13:40Something you want to tell me?

13:43First, I want to confirm something.

13:46Hiro, are you dating Haru?

13:50We're not dating. Why do you ask?

13:53Ah, I see. That's good.

13:57You know, I really like you, Hiro.

14:01Eh? What? M-me?

14:05You've always helped me when I was in trouble.

14:08I thought it was wonderful.

14:10I like the kindness in you.

14:12And lately, you've become really cool, too.

14:15Um, well...

14:19Huh?

14:20Haru!

14:22I'm glad for you, Hiro.

14:25I wanted to go home together, but...

14:27I couldn't find you, so I was looking around.

14:31Then I found you here.

14:33Um...

14:35You've got your eye on Hiro, huh?

14:38You understand well, don't you?

14:41Hiro is kind, warm, and cool.

14:46Ah...

14:47He matches really well with someone as gentle as you.

14:51Be happy, okay?

14:53Haru!

14:55I'm sorry. Um, I'm really happy about your confession.

14:59But the one I like is...

15:02It's Haru, right?

15:04Wha? Y-you knew?

15:07I was looking at you.

15:09Just like how you were looking at her.

15:12I can tell who's at the end of that gaze.

15:16Even so, I-I wanted to tell you.

15:19Feelings that you don't confess are the same as the feeling not being there.

15:24I didn't want to turn my feelings into nothing.

15:27Uh...

15:29Hehe.

15:31Go after her. Quickly!

15:34She's probably waiting for your words.

15:37Thank you!

15:39I hurriedly chased after her, but Haru was nowhere to be found.

15:44She probably went straight home.

15:46She's not answering her phone, either.

15:49In that case, there's only one option!

15:52Haru, are you there?

15:54Uh?

15:56Even if you hide, I can see her silhouette through the curtain!

16:00If you don't come out, I'll keep shouting!

16:03What is it?

16:05I just turned down the confession from earlier!

16:08Huh? W-why?

16:11Because the one I like is you, Haru!

16:14W-what?

16:16It's the truth! I've liked you for a long, long time!

16:20Then... it's too late to say that!

16:24Take this!

16:26Whoa! Haru, be careful!

16:29I love you! I love you so much, Hiro!

16:33You protected me when others made fun of my appearance.

16:37You said it was okay for me to be the way I am.

16:40I love that kind and gentle Hiro.

16:44But Hiro, do you remember?

16:47When you were in 6th grade, you were obsessed with that idol.

16:52She was slender, beautiful, and cute.

16:56The complete opposite of me.

16:59So I tried to become like her, to make you like me.

17:04I desperately went on a diet and dressed up.

17:07I see.

17:09But why did you come to report that you were confessed to?

17:13That was... I just wanted you to notice me.

17:17Even if just a little.

17:20Hiro, I'm sorry for my terrible attitude until now.

17:25It's okay. I understand your feelings now.

17:29I'm the one who should apologize for saying not to get involved back then.

17:34Hiro...

17:36Haru, I love you. I love you so much!

17:41I love you too, Hiro. I love you a lot.

17:45And so, Haru and I, after taking a bit of a detour,

17:49were able to confirm each other's feelings and became a couple.

17:54From then on, we were lovey-dovey every day together.

17:58Because we were so affectionate at school,

18:00we became known as the most loving couple in school.

18:04And by the way, it turned out that Sumiko, who had confessed to me,

18:08and Haru had become good friends without me noticing.

18:12It seems there are many things only understood by maidens in love.

18:17As time passed...

18:19This is delicious!

18:21But what if I gain weight?

18:24If I become round and chubby like before...

18:28That's okay, isn't it?

18:31Because I love Haru no matter how you are.

18:35You're being unfair saying that!

18:38I love you too.

18:40Our lovey-dovey youth has just begun!

18:54I love you too!
