He promised to me...
that he would certainly win for me.
That's why I don't doubt...
1 Hiroki Nakanishi
He did it!
New japanese record??
GREAT! great great great!
- He's so cool! He's great!! - Don't touch me, you fool!
- He's sooo great! - Leave me!
That's....!
Ami?...
Assassin.
Assassin!
Keisuke Yamato Free style swimmer He will enter Eiizumi high school as an athlete.
Come, quickly! It's great!
Ami Ninomiya High diving athletess.
Hiroki Nakanishi Free style swimmer Actually record-keeper in Japan
That's how I met her...
Ouch!
That summer.
Kamisagiryo
It is said that in this world...
there are three people who look like oneself.
I'm a pacifist... (Pacifist = a person that dislikes violence)
so I never kill any living creature.
Perhaps, what she said...
Assassin!
that "assassin" she was talking about...
...was somebody else, who looks like me.
Or perhaps... did I kill someone without knowing!?
Whatever...
It can't be!!
Thief!
She, again!
What happened, Ami?
Pervert!!
N-no, it's not like it seems!
Really, it's not like that!
- An underwear thief!
I was only hanging out the futon as usual!
No, no!!
Really, it's not what you think!
What's going on, Keisuke?
Takeshi Ogata Diving athlete in the swimming club
There's nothing to say, apart that this is a pervert!
Rieko Kinoshita Athletess in the tennis club
I had just noticed that a pair was missing from the laundry and you...
No!!
It just fell here!
Anyway, it's against the rules...
The underwear should be hang inside the room.
It was decided in order to avoid misunderstanding, right?
And anyway...
You're just too rowdy to be girls!!
Masaru Kume Judo athlete, light weight
The laundry, then the cleaning...
and also how you put out the garbage...
you're really making me mad!
You're so disturbing!
...That's all.
My panties!!
Haruko Tanuma Judo athletess, high weights
Everybody, come!
Well, for all the people newly entered...
...welcome to the Kamisagi dormitory.
This year they're early...
You know, this morning...
while I was clearing the garbage...
...the cherry blossoms were like "fuwaaa"...
Listen, grammy...
...Mrs administrator Shoji!!
Yes, Mrs administrator Shoji,
we don't have time, after all we are getting scholarship from the university...
we should hurry and go training.
"Rough"
My daughter is in junior high 1...
there are girls who like to hang around all the time...
my daughter likes drawing.
And so she often draws outside...
..."rough" sketches.
That's why I thought...
...that you are "rough".
Every drawing, for as good as it can be...
it always starts with a "rough" sketch.
From now on, you will lay many lines on each other...
you will redo many sketches,
but from all those lines you have to choose your own one.
It's ok even if it's approximate,
it's ok even
It is not necessary to complete by now the rough sketches.
Make more and more drafts.
"Rough"
To be incomplete, that's your weapon.
[ as-sas-sin ]
I'm a pacifist...
...that's why, if someone hates me so much,
...and on the top of that, I think that I have to spend the next 3 years together with her...
I can't but feel uncomfortable.
#kanjisub@irc.rizon.net www.kanjisub.com
That's good, that's good!
It's getting higher, higher!
Come, like that! Like that!!
Ok, ok! Come on, the last one!
...The last 5!
Last 5! Oi, spurt, spurt, spurt, spurt!
Go, go, go!
Good!!
Well done, Yamato!
You got a good stroke! Perfect!
The time?
Time?... Ehm, I got both hands busy,
wait a moment...
This is the whistle, the whistle...
Here, now I stopped it!
I just stopped it and it says only one minute! It's so awesome!
EH!? Teacher... so you did it again!?
Yeah... sorry.
It looks like that Keisuke is getting better.
Nevermind that Ogata, just look at here rather.
I never do the twist well.
About that, you should ask Koyanagi... even if she's not so sociable.
Kaori Koyanaghi Swimming club, diving athletess
A one-day date?
What do you mean?
The senpai came here and told me to do a ballot.
[note: senpai = senior colleague]
He said it's the tradition to do so!
The date?
But only one boy is going as a representative.
And they choose a girl randomly, too.
Well, it's up to the luck of the moment.
Oi oi oi! What's this!? What are you doing!?
A one-day date?
ME ME ME ME!
OK, let's start the ballot!!
When I say "go"...
Take one!
Ready...go!
Haruko Haruko Haruko!
Haruko Haruko!
Uwaaa... thank you!
Don't envy me! :)
We won't!
How lucky!
Tell me it's not true!!
Ready... go!
Not me...
I can't beleive it!
ME...!?
Hurry, hurry!
Ready, go!
Kamisagi Dormitory * Traditional One-Day Date *
Date: At 9 in front of the bell tower.
Wh-wHaaAAt!?
Oi!
Wasn't she the representative for the girls?
Manjuu
[Manjuu: sweet steamed bread filled with azuki cream]
She said that they fought for the ballot.
Manjuu?
Rumors say that Ami Ninomiya is the girls' representative.
But in this case...!
...it was non sense to send Keisuke there!!
Listen...
HEY!
If we don't do as it's written here...
we will be punished with extra cleaning hours!
Relax at the Chirorin café.
Ahem...
They said this afternoon it's going to rain!
But yesterday's forecast was wrong...
I wish they were wrong today too.
The forecast is supposed to miss sometimes.
Anyway, even if it rains, it's ok.
It's not like I'm doing this because I like it.
I don't understand the reason.
Don't think that I like to spend my Sunday...
...with a girl who calls me "assassin".
I remember a story
"The war of the Manjuu"
[note: a joke with "war of Manchu"]
Do you know it?
No...
A long time ago...
Two stores of japanese sweets.
-The Manjuu's war is started?-
One of them was called Yamatoya,
the other was called Ninomiya.
Their respective owners,
once used to work in the same store.
They were rivals since the time before they opened their own stores
One day, the owner of the Ninomiya store
invented the owl-shaped manju, "Hoho"
and started selling it.
Hoho...
But the owner of Yamatoya didn't give up
so he imitated the other and started selling
a horned owl-shaped manjuu.
A beautiful gift for everyone the original Hehe
Yamatoya
Hehe...
It revealed to be a great hit.
Probably, the customers
thought that the ears were a free extra
Hehe, Hoho.
So the stores fought again.
Ninomiya, who was preparing the counter attack...
consumed himself too much in the creation of some new product
and ended sick in a bed.
And then, saying his last words "Yamato killed me!"
In the end......
Assassin!
Now you know the truth.
Yes, I did, but...
I don't understand why are you so mad...
It's all about years ago!
After all you don't even know me well.
We never even talk.
It's enough for me to know that you're the heritance of the Yamato's.
And you don't even consider me as a single human being!?
My grandpa was so important to me.
I loved him too...
Grandpa.
For example, I always listen to cassette tapes
Everybody asks me "Why the tapes?"
And even if they always make fun of me...
but for me they're my granpa's memento.
At one pm, you go to watch a movie at the Moody.
Announcement: Permanently Closed
Ouch, it's raining...
It looks like the weather forecast...
were right for once.
Oi!
Listen...
Who lives here?
W-wait! wait a moment!
I thought she only wanted to take an umbrella...
Hiroki Nakanishi?
Here, the towel.
Thanks.
Is it ok?
Yeah.
Oh... a date?
So one umbrella will be enough, right?
Come on... stop it, brother!
Brother?
Eh!? Brother!?
Don't be loud.
Sorry.
Are you brother and sister?
No, why?
But you called him "brother"...
"Brother"...
[note: "oniichan" means "elder brother" but is also used as friendly way to call people, not necessary relatives.]
means brother.
How do you say...
We are childhood friends.
Come in, I'll prepare a tea.
Yes!
Ninomiya... why here?
Sometimes I come to work part-time here...
...when brother is away for his long journeys.
I come to make the cleaning...
He pays me 800 yen per hour.
Do you want to know a good thing?
He said you're a "mysterious athlete".
"actually he's not making any progress, but..."
"he got talent for swimming."
"He's the kind of athlete who suddenly..."
"breaks all the previous records".
Brother said that.
The fact is that...
I heard about it.
That once...
that he saved the Ninomiya's.
Don't tell me that you, with the son of the Yamato's...?
Ah, so we're all gathered!
The family of the saviour...
the family that was about to collapse...
and the family that wanted to crush another family.
What makes you laugh about this!?
I also heard about what you were saying about me.
Somehow sounded like compliments to me.
Huh? What are you talking about?
Well, you know...
that you called me...
"mysterious athlete"...
No...
I didn't say nothing like that.
Oh... yeah! ^^;;
Sorry!
What's up?
What's up with you!?
If you got something to say, then say it!
Was it funny?
To look at my happy face while I didn't understand I was being fooled.
What are you talking about?
He never said those things.
Nakanishi.
He never called me...
he didn't even notice me.
Everybody called him "flying fish".
When we attended the same pool, once...
They called Nakanishi the "flying fish".
While my surname was "damedaka".
They joined "failure" (dame) and "killifish" (medaka).
Since then I moved to another club.
Since then I always aimed to be better.
Even in that period,
the truth was...
I didn't want to make that race.
At 7 pm, confess your feeling to each other!
I...
hate you.
Show it in the pool.
Huh?
I don't know what happened...
but the answer is in the pool.
Results come after.
Take it all out.
Why this words all of sudden?
I understand, more or less, what you're thinking of.
As we live in the same small room...
Tie it tight, tight! Yeah like this!
You fool!
Sorry!
You're an idiot! What are you thinking of!?
I have no such intentions!
Yes sir.
You idiot! Haha.
Well. Did he come?
I'm off.
Ok. Thank you.
Well...
What is that?
As you can see, it's a heartbeat counter! One of those "pipipi" signal!
As from today, you will have to measure during the training! Got it!?
Both physical and mental care!
We have to reinforce more and more heart, lungs and everything! So in the next race...
He will be the best in Japan!
Professor Sakiyama...
We're aiming at it, too...
Let's do it, all together!
Yes!
Wh-what's that... ah, this!
Yeah, this...
Good, like that! Last five!
Good!
1 Hiroki Nakanishi 2 Keisuke Yamato
Nice one!
OK!
Look here! This way!
It's true that you're a "misterious athlete".
The last time, before the race...
I wanted to act as a break.
But now...
I will said it too.
You did well.
Anyway you' keep ignoring me. Not like I care.
But I want to tell you as athlete to athlete.
...even if I've been eliminated in the qualification race.
Anyway!!
You just did your personal record, right?
Well, there's always a 0.4 difference with brother's...
It's true that Nakanishi is 0.4 seconds ahead...
...more important that that, I couldn't tell her yet...!
Sorry.
That's good...
Summer vacations are so quiet.
Ehy, why is that girl here, too??
Ah, Kume asked me to invite her.
She puts on airs!!
She's always on her own and never even steps in the dormitory.
...agree?
Yeah.
Turns me down.
Hey, help me!
Ah, all right, sorry.
Hey, help us to carry this stuff!!
Kume! Ogata! Yamato!
YAMATO!?
Did you just say YAMATO!?
Dad...
Who's Yamato??
YOU?
You're Yamato!?
He's just a school fellow, his name is YamaDA!
And... what else?
We're done with the shopping.
Nakanishi, why are you here?
Because I'm worried.
It doesn't look fit in here!
Ami offered it to me...
What's the relationship between you two?
Between you and Nakanishi.
Well...
We're like brother and sister.
A good friend to talk to...
Someone I can count on, and am proud of.
And I like him so much!
So you like him...
And what about you, Koyanagi?
Do you have someone...?
...at present?
Yes...
There's boy I'm interested in...
He's the second fastest crawl athlete in Japan.
She surely swims well.
She's my best athlete.
Haha, so it's because the master is good.
...He's the best in Japan, after all.
The wind is arising...
Hey, don't go too far!
Huh? What?
It's time you come back!
I can't hear you!
Ow, it's so noisy!
Oi!
Watch out!
C'mon, hurry!
Catch me! Hahah...
Call an ambulance!
- Yes! - Let's go!
Ami!
Ami!!
We're going~
See you.
Bye.
It seems like today'll be really hot.
Oh, that's damn true...
Do you think you will be alright?
Yes.
Just to be sure, I was visited once more.
Also the doctor said that there's nothing to worry about.
Is that so...?
Good to hear...
I'm sorry...
that I made you worry.
Hey, Ami.
Let's go eat! Today's hitsumabushi.
[Hitsumabushi: eel fillets cooked over charcoal with soy flavoured sauce, cut in small pieces and served on rice]
Eel, eel!
Oh! So cute! What's that?
Nothing.
You hide it! Let me see!
That's nothing, nothing.
Dinner!!
Haru, hurry up!
EEL!!
Eel, eel, eel, eel today!
I don't care if there won't be left for you!
How are you?
Huh?
I don't have something special to say, but...
How are you?
Huh?
Listen...
You can use that.
Careful... careful... careful...
Go.
Thanks.
Please... just don't fall.
OK, no problem.
I'm OK now.
And you?
I heard that you dived for me the other time.
He sure is fast!
I'll never swim like him.
After all, he's the retainer of the national record.
So why did you dive for me?
Well, you know...
Thank you.
Despite all, you did dive for me...
The pitch is too slow!!
Don't move your head!
Oi, oi, oi, oi!
No, no, no!
Is this the way to swim!?!?!?
Professor Sakiyama, you sure are positive!
Oh, he just made a personal record!
Huh?
No, it's impos- IT'S TRUE!!
How come?!?!
How can you be so calm!?
How fool...
Fantastic!
It's all your merit, prof. Sakiyama!
Thank you very much!
It's because you spread this passion...!
Yamato!! Hurry and come to say thanks already! Idiot!
Sincerely, thank you!
Yamato, you're great!
Teacher, I love you.
I knew you can do it, Yamato! Very good!
Let's get married... OK?
Teacher, teacher! So, is it OK?
Cut it out already!
Do you think it's all right to laugh like that?
The situation is critic.
For that..... brother of yours.
I'm not particularly happy.
I'm looking forward to it.
...to see which one of them is going to get the support.
I'm not going to miss it!
Yamato... I like you very much, too!
I love you, too, Yamato! Thank you, thank you!
Finally the Japanese championship has come!
