00:00Ugh...

00:03Hey, Leo! You forgot something at school.

00:07Whoa! What's up with this gloomy mushroom vibe?

00:12I'm Leo Maeda. I've been fumbling around for years, wanting to be popular but having no clue how.

00:20Before I knew it, I turned into a total introvert, like a gloomy mushroom.

00:25Can you not start with the insults?

00:28I'm just spitting facts.

00:31The one barging in is Rina Nakamura.

00:34She's the kind of outgoing delinquent type you'd never get along with unless you were childhood friends.

00:41Why the long face?

00:44I'm despairing over my bleak future.

00:48Dude, you got more years ahead of you as an old man. What are you saying?

00:54Because I've been single my whole life.

00:57As a gloomy dude, I got zero chance of getting a girlfriend.

01:02Meaning there's no one who's going to end up with me.

01:06It's a one-way ticket to being single.

01:09I don't want to be a lonely bachelor forever.

01:13How can I even get popular?

01:16Look more manly. That'd be my type.

01:20Even if I became your type...

01:23What was that?

01:25Nothing at all, ma'am.

01:28Anyway, first off, change your look. Your look.

01:34People talk about inner beauty, but they see your outside first.

01:39No one's gonna love someone who can't even be bothered to look decent.

01:44You got a point, but what should I even do to change my look?

01:49Leo, you live in the age of the internet. Look it up!

01:55But fine. First off, your bangs.

01:58My bangs?

02:00Chop off those long, annoying bangs.

02:04Then clean up your eyebrows. You gotta look fresh.

02:08Dirty and smelly is a no-go.

02:11That's a deal-breaker before looks even come into play.

02:15For fashion, just buy whatever's on the mannequin in stores.

02:20Don't trust your own sense of style. Trust the store mannequins.

02:25Listen, girls learn makeup and fashion through trial and error, too.

02:30Nobody gets it right from the start.

02:33We've all lost an eyebrow, done clown makeup, or looked like we got punched in the eye.

02:40So, it's all about failing and trying again. Got it?

02:45I-I see. So girls didn't get it right from the start, either.

02:51Alright, I'll give it my best shot, too.

02:55Yeah! Go for it, Leo!

02:58So I used my days off to do everything Rina suggested.

03:03The following week.

03:04Whoa! Is that you, Leo?

03:09Morning, Rina!

03:11You actually changed your look!

03:14You look like a different person! It's wild!

03:18I figured if I got advice, I should actually follow through.

03:23Just talking about it is lame.

03:26Do I look weird?

03:28Not at all! You look awesome!

03:31Really? Thanks!

03:34I was a bit worried, but with your seal of approval, I guess I'm good.

03:39Rina!

03:41What?

03:43People are staring at me.

03:45Yeah, everyone's checking you out.

03:49That girl just said I'm cool!

03:51Yeah, to me, you look super cool.

03:57But if everyone's staring this much, that means my makeover failed!

04:02They're all laughing at me.

04:05Ugh.

04:08No way! Chill out, you're fine!

04:11Ugh.

04:14Even though Rina said I looked cool.

04:17Maybe I just look lame to everyone else.

04:20This sucks.

04:23During break, feeling all down.

04:26Hey, Leo! You seriously turned into a hot guy!

04:30Who knew you were such a hidden gem?

04:34Oh no! I'm surrounded by flashy girls I hardly talk to!

04:40This one is Kanna Ogawa, right?

04:43Uh, um...

04:46Got a girlfriend?

04:48Huh? No, I don't.

04:51No way, really? That's like a golden opportunity!

04:56Totally!

04:58Huh?

05:00Well then, better claim you for myself.

05:03Huh? Claim me? What? What?

05:08I'm saying, make you my boyfriend.

05:12I can do anything for my boyfriend, you know.

05:15So...

05:18Wanna go out with me?

05:21Hey, no fair! Make me your girlfriend!

05:25Hey! What the heck?

05:28Oh, Rina. Didn't see you there.

05:32Anyway, why so flustered, huh?

05:36N-n-n-no reason!

05:39Wait a sec! Didn't you do this makeover for me?

05:43I said I liked that style, so I thought you did it for me and got all happy!

05:48Huh? Did it for you? What do you mean?

05:53N-n-never mind!

05:56Go drool over them if you want!

05:59Wait, Rina?

06:01Why's she so mad? And why's she almost crying?

06:06Ooh, interesting!

06:10I see. I knew you two were close, but...

06:15Wait, what? What's going on?

06:18Wow. You seriously don't get it, huh?

06:23Ooh, clueless guys are a no-go, you know.

06:30Even a good face won't get you anywhere if you're that dense.

06:35Seriously, what are you guys talking about?

06:39The day ended with the two flashy girls sighing at me.

06:43The next day.

06:45Why are you so close?

06:48Why are you clinging to my arm all of a sudden?

06:51You're popular now. Someone might try to snatch you up.

06:55So, I'm acting as your bodyguard.

06:59That's over the top. No one's gonna stalk me. It's fine.

07:04Just in case. Just in case.

07:09Well, uh, alright then, bodyguard.

07:13Uh, what are you doing?

07:16Also part of bodyguard duty. Gotta be close to protect you when needed.

07:21But sitting on my lap?

07:24What? Is that a problem?

07:27Not exactly, but...

07:29Then don't worry about it!

07:32How can I not worry about this?

07:35And so, Rina suddenly got all clingy.

07:38Now, there's a rumor that the gloomy guy got a makeover and tamed a delinquent.

07:44But I don't remember taming anyone.

07:47In fact, I have no idea why she's so close all of a sudden.

07:52Even when I ask, she just says it's for bodyguard duty.

07:57Why? The mystery just keeps bugging me.

08:01I totally got myself worked up into a fever.

08:05I'm such a wreck.

08:08Ugh, I feel awful.

08:11Whoa, you really do look bad. You okay?

08:16Getting a fever from thinking too hard, huh?

08:20Kanna?

08:22Hey there! Bought you some get-well vibes.

08:26Thanks for coming. But why'd you come to visit me?

08:31Hmm, maybe cause I really wanna claim you?

08:36Claim?

08:38I'm serious, you know.

08:40Huh?

08:43What are you two doing here?

08:47Rina!

08:49Hey there, Rina.

08:51What? Just a little get-well visit?

08:55Why'd you bother to come, Kanna?

08:58Why? To claim him, duh!

09:04Anyway, I'll head out for now. Bye-bye!

09:12What's with this awkward silence? This is so weird.

09:17I'm leaving.

09:19Wait, why? Stay with me.

09:22Why? Doesn't have to be me.

09:25When we were kids, you always stayed by my side when I was sick.

09:29You cried, thinking something might happen to me.

09:33What are you saying? And you remember?

09:39Of course. It's a precious memory with you.

09:43Precious?

09:45You're my childhood friend, after all.

09:48Childhood friend, huh? Fine, I'll stay by your side.

09:54As you always have to be with someone, huh?

09:56Here, hold my hand and get some sleep.

10:00Thanks, Rina.

10:03Must have dozed off.

10:09Rina fell asleep too. She's always so kind when I'm in trouble.

10:16Leo, I like you.

10:20Huh? Did I just hear her say…

10:23Huh? Did I just hear her say… she likes me?

10:28No way. Couldn't be.

10:34Rina.

10:36Sorry. I must have fallen asleep.

10:41No, it's fine. But, um…

10:45What? Something wrong? Is your fever down?

10:50Yeah, mostly.

10:53Ah, good. But you still need to rest.

10:58Oh, okay. Rina's acting normal now, so was it just my imagination?

11:05Did I mishear that? Or maybe, is that why she's been so close lately?

11:12I want to ask, but I'm too scared to.

11:16In the end, I couldn't ask about that sleep talk.

11:21The next day.

11:23What did that like mean?

11:26Does she like me as a friend? Or in a romantic way?

11:31I don't get it. I'm so confused.

11:36But why am I scared to ask her?

11:42Morning, Leo.

11:44Whoa!

11:46What?

11:48Oh, I freaked out and accidentally pushed her away.

11:51Uh, um…

11:54Leo?

11:56Sorry, I gotta go.

11:59Hey, Leo!

12:01What the heck's up with him?

12:04A few hours later.

12:06Let's eat together again today.

12:09Uh, yeah.

12:11Oh man, why does my heart race every time I see Rina?

12:16I'm overreacting! Just chill out, my heart!

12:21Hey, you've been acting weird since this morning.

12:25Weird? What do you mean? I'm totally normal.

12:29Liar. You've been all fidgety.

12:33No, uh…

12:35If you've got something to say, just spit it out.

12:39Well…

12:41Watch out!

12:43Sneak!

12:45Huh?

12:47This is… um…

12:49Did you just…

12:52Sorry, I'm so sorry!

12:56Hey, Leo!

12:58Seriously, what am I doing?

13:01Ever since I heard that sleep talk, I can't act normal around Rina.

13:06I keep getting all awkward, cause I can't stop thinking about it.

13:11The days pass with me constantly wondering if it's too simple to be conscious of her, just cause she said she liked me.

13:20What's up? You look really troubled.

13:24Kanna…

13:26Seems like things are awkward between you and Rina lately.

13:30Oh, you noticed?

13:32Of course! You two were super tight.

13:36Got something on your mind? Talking might help.

13:41Actually, I've been confused about my feelings and the distance between me and Rina.

13:48The distance between you and Rina?

13:51I mean, we're childhood friends, but it feels way too close, you know?

13:57There's a reason for that. Has Rina totally le-

14:02Hey! Don't say anything unnecessary!

14:05Rina!

14:07Why not? It's fine.

14:11No, it's not!

14:13Then you should just be honest about it. Stop making it weird and complicated.

14:19Or else, someone might just snatch him away from you.

14:25What are you guys talking about?

14:28Nothing. It's nothing.

14:32Huh?

14:35A few days passed, but the awkwardness remained.

14:39Our relationship stayed weird and strained.

14:42I can't let it stay like this. I hate our relationship being messed up!

14:48I should just be honest about my feelings.

14:51I made up my mind, but…

14:54Lately, I feel like someone's watching me.

14:58Plus, my stuff keeps disappearing.

15:01What's going on?

15:03Hey, Leo! Why are you looking around like that?

15:08Rina…

15:10Actually, some weird stuff's been happening lately.

15:14Weird stuff?

15:16Like, I feel like someone's watching me, and my stuff keeps disappearing.

15:21What got taken?

15:23Eraser, correction fluid, pens, mechanical pencils, red pens…

15:29Basically, your whole pencil case. Alright, let me see it.

15:34Maybe there's a clue or something in there.

15:37Here you go.

15:39Hmm… I see.

15:42Leo, don't sweat it. I'll take care of this.

15:45That's dangerous!

15:47No, it's fine. I gotta help my buddy out, right?

15:51Just cause we're childhood friends?

15:54That's part of it. But not the whole deal.

15:58Huh?

16:00I got a hunch, so just hang tight.

16:03I'll settle this by the end of the day.

16:06Wait, Rina!

16:08After school.

16:10She said she'd handle it, but what's she planning?

16:14She told me to trust her, but I'm still worried.

16:18I can't leave it or handle this alone.

16:21I don't want her getting into trouble either.

16:24Hey, Leo! It's weird seeing you without Rina.

16:28I'm looking for Rina. Have you seen her?

16:32Oh yeah! She was with Kanna in the courtyard, I think.

16:36The courtyard? Thanks!

16:39Hold it, you two!

16:41Leo!

16:43Leo?

16:45You and Rina together. So all those weird looks and missing stuff…

16:50Was it you, Kanna?

16:52Oops! Guess you found out.

16:57Rina already figured it out, though.

17:00There was a strand of your flashy hair in Leo's pencil case.

17:05Oops! Sherlock Holmes over here.

17:09But why?

17:11Well, it was fine as it was, but you started getting cooler.

17:17Huh?

17:19I got worried someone else would snatch you away.

17:22Uh, what?

17:25People judge me because I'm flashy, but you didn't.

17:29You told those trash talkers it wasn't cool, remember?

17:33Probably not.

17:35But from that moment, I was head over heels for you.

17:39I wanted you all to myself.

17:42What?

17:44Sorry, but I'm not giving him up.

17:47I like him too.

17:49Rina!

17:51Huh?

17:53So, Leo, which one of us do you like? Spill it!

17:58I… I… I like Rina!

18:03Huh?

18:05Figured as much.

18:07I knew it, but I couldn't give up till you said it straight.

18:12Thanks for turning me down, and sorry for the creepy stuff.

18:16Alright then, you two. Talk it out.

18:20I'm outta here before things get ugly.

18:23Rina, you really like me?

18:27Yeah, I do.

18:30Even when I turned into a delinquent to deal with my loneliness, you stayed by my side.

18:37You were always there for me, Leo.

18:40You became someone really important to me.

18:43Rina, I actually knew how you felt.

18:47H-how?

18:48You said you liked me in your sleep.

18:52Huh?

18:54So, I started thinking about it.

18:57I said I liked you, but I don't know if it's true love or just because you said it first.

19:03Take your time figuring it out.

19:06I'll always be here for you.

19:08And just like that, Rina and I got back to how we used to be.

19:13Kanna apologized, and returned everything she took.

19:16Since then, Rina's been more honest about her feelings, and her love is clear and straightforward.

19:23And one day…

19:26Phew.

19:28Another girl asking you out, huh?

19:31Rina.

19:33You're still a hit with the ladies.

19:36I appreciate it, but I've already got someone special in my heart.

19:40Wait, does that mean…

19:42Does that mean…

19:44Rina, sorry for taking so long.

19:47I like you so much.

19:50Took you long enough, you dummy!

19:53I'll make up for the wait by loving you even more!

19:57Deal.
