Monday
Fujimiya-san.
Wh-What is it?
I'm Hase Yuki.
I'd like for us to be friends, again!
You're Hase-kun?
My diary said that you'd come, but you really did talk to me...
I spoke those words again because
Fujimiya-san's memories had been completely reset.
My name is Kujo Hajime.
You traitor.
Hajime-kun...
What's your name?
All because of the appearance of a single transfer student.
#10 Friends and Friends.
Classical Literature
Open your textbooks to page 52.
Excuse me.
I haven't gotten a textbook yet.
Really? Then have Fujimiya share hers with you.
Fujimiya-san, let's switch seats.
Huh?
Is it all right if I share my textbook?
I want to share mine!
Don't worry...
I won't say anything like I said before.
What's the holdup over there?
Fujimiya, share your textbook.
Okay.
Hase, don't just stand there. Sit down.
You're pushing our desks together?
My textbook will fall otherwise.
What I said the other day doesn't bother you, huh?
What do you mean?
Oh?
I see. Yeah, you're right.
The crickets are singing and the mist is rising on this cool night
Okay, who knows the last line of this poem?
Kujo, do you know?
Yes.
"Am I to sleep alone on the sleeve of my kimono on this rough straw mat?"
Correct.
That's impressive.
Not really.
We used to stay after school and memorize poems from the Hundred Poets anthology.
Now you're ignoring me?
So, how'd it go?
Well, she's lost her memory plenty of times before.
It's different this time.
Her memory's been reset completely.
Then, are you going to run away?
I won't run away...
I'm just frustrated.
It's like everything I've worked to build has disappeared somewhere...
Just because she talked to him a little.
Are you talking about me?
I'll have something to drink, too.
Wandering around school made me thirsty.
What?
Huh? Uh...
You're Hase, right?
Do you have some problem with me?
Huh?
You really freaked out when she collapsed.
Do you like her?
Wha—
And now there are problems between you and Fujimiya Kaori because I showed up.
Am I right?
I hate this guy!
Don't worry... I just went to elementary school with her.
There's nothing going on.
Elementary school?
Yeah, I transferred in sixth grade, and I haven't seen her since.
Don't Hit On Students!
Besides, I'm not so twisted that I'd go for another guy's girl.
F-Fujimiya-san and I aren't like that...
Oh, really?
Maybe I'll go for her, then.
Huh?
I'm kidding.
Huh?
What's your deal?
Besides, I hate Fujimiya Kaori.
Well, I'm gonna look around the school a little more.
I'm not sure what to think of him...
That's why...
That's why I'm so frustrated that a creep like him ruined all my hard work.
Does that mean he's more important to her than I am?
Tuesday
Kaori-chan!
Morning!
G-Good morning...
She's so formal.
What's wrong, Kaori-chan?
Morning.
It's Hase-kun... We'd better get out of their way.
Serizawa-san's always like that.
Embarrassing, isn't it?
Oh, that's Serizawa-san...
Yeah.
Hase-kun, I made lunch.
It was in my diary.
Yeah...
I made lunch every day, right?
I'm just happy that you made it for me, Fujimiya-san.
Oh, good.
Fried eggs!
Yeah, I used eighteen grams of sugar.
But why eighteen grams, I wonder?
Would nineteen have been bad?
Does it really taste that different?
What do you think, Hase-kun?
Fujimiya-san...
Sorry.
Hase-kun,
do you know what day it is today?
June 18th
Huh?
Is there something special about June 18th?
The answer is it's an "18" day.
Huh?
And speaking of eighteen?
The number of grams of sugar in my fried eggs...
And it's the number that first brought back your memories!
That's right.
I mark the 18th on calendars, even if it's not a special day.
But sometimes it sparks my memory when I see it on Mondays,
so I thought it might be a good thing...
So, that's why?
Yeah, that's why...
Today is an 18 day.
July 3
Your diary looks a lot nicer.
At first, I was a little disappointed that it got dirty...
But I feel like it might remind me of how desperately you looked for it.
It's so wonderful, gaining more new memories one by one...
I wonder if I'm helping you at all...
Maybe I'm bothering you by spending time with you and talking to you every day.
That's not true!
You're the one who made me realize
how wonderful it is to make memories with someone.
I had almost given up...
But because of you, I decided to try harder.
Thank you.
Little by little, moving forward and backward in turn,
I thought we were making progress.
Now that summer vacation was over,
I thought I could make lots of memories with Fujimiya-san at school again.
That's what I thought, but...
Hase-kun, see you tomorrow.
Okay.
Kaori-chan's acting weird...
You're capable of noticing that, huh?
She's clearly acting differently toward Hase-kun.
She had that lovey aura before...
I wonder what happened.
Lovey aura?
It seems like Hase-kun's feeling down, too.
Hase, Inoue's calling you.
Huh? Seriously?
I'll just have to lend them a hand.
I don't think you should interfere.
Why not?
Their problem's between them.
I just want to help my friends.
Hase-kun's helped me, too, but Kaori-chan has done so much for me.
I want her to be happy.
You've actually given this some thought.
I'd be happy if she became family
and did even more for me...
But I'm sad it can't work since we're both girls.
Yeah, yeah. That's too bad.
If I were a man, we could get married and be together forever.
You and I could be family!
What?
I don't want to be alone anymore.
That's why I decided long ago
that I'd rely on someone, since I can't do anything alone...
You're really reliable.
I bet you'd make a good husband.
You should be my—
That hurt...
You shouldn't joke about that.
If you give people the wrong idea, someone's going to trick you one day.
I wasn't completely joking...
Later.
Shogo, did you wait for me?
No.
Why is your face red?
You're imagining things.
Wait...
I'll get my bag! Let's go home together!
I wonder if I upset him...
Huh? Yamagishi-san?
S-See you later, Hase-kun.
Wednesday
Thanks for the food.
It was good again today.
I'm glad.
Hey, Hase-kun...
The person who sits on my left is Kujo-kun, right?
Yeah... What about him?
I think I might have met him a long time ago...
Something about him makes me feel nostalgic.
You went to elementary school together.
Oh...
I wonder if we were friends before I lost my memories.
I can't remember anything...
Looking at Kujo-kun
fills me with nostalgia and apprehension for some reason.
It doesn't feel very good.
I wonder why.
You don't need to force yourself to remember.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Oh, right! I want to try the crêpes I wrote about in my diary.
What brought that on?
We can't?
I-It's not that we can't...
Wanna go after school today, then?
Really?
Sure, let's go!
Thank you!
Why does it have to be my turn to clean today?
Wait for me, Fujimiya-san!
Are you Kaori-chan?
It's been a while.
You're going to school with Hajime, right?
We're gonna celebrate Hajime's move back from Hokkaido with crêpes.
You're one to talk... You were gonna make me pay.
Kaori-chan, come eat with us.
What kind do you like?
I'm waiting for someone...
I see...
Hajime, you wanted chocolate and banana, right?
Yeah.
You aren't joining the conversation.
I don't know them.
You don't know them?
Ota and Yamasato were in our class in sixth grade!
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize to me.
You know, are you really Fujimiya Kaori?
You're nothing like you used to be.
Back then, you were always laughing with your friends.
Well, time changes everyone.
You really don't remember me?
I'm sorry.
I guess that means I'm the only one who thought we were friends...
That's not it.
I think it's because we were friends that I don't remember you.
Huh? What does that—
Here's yours, Hajime.
Thanks.
Weren't you guys dating in sixth grade?
Huh? What are you talking about?
I heard Kaori-chan got to you first.
Got to him first...
We didn't think it was a big deal, though.
Anyway, I was shocked when I heard you were in an accident after that.
Huh? An accident?
Stop!
Huh?
Stop...
You're awful for taking him first!
Awful!
Please...
Please stop!
Hey!
Fujimiya-san?
What did you do to Fujimiya-san?
I didn't do anything.
That can't be true!
If you didn't, why would Fujimiya-san run away from you?
I don't know.
What's your problem, anyway?
Calling Fujimiya-san a traitor, and saying you hate her!
I didn't call her a traitor just because she didn't remember me.
She really didn't remember me...
She made some stupid excuse about not remembering me
because I was her friend.
Not that I care.
Kujo!
Fujimiya-san should be the one to tell you this, but...
Kaori-chan!
Saki-chan...
What a coincidence, running into you here.
Reset every week?
The accident made her lose all of her memories of her friends.
Since then, her memories have only lasted for a week.
Are you serious?
Is that even possible?
At first, I couldn't believe it, either.
Then how do you...
Her diary.
Even when it resets, she reads it and remembers who I am.
But she doesn't actually know who you are, does she?
You call it a diary,
but if its contents were changed, it'd be easy to change the truth.
Fujimiya-san wouldn't do...
Then what if Fujimiya were lying?
Huh?
You wouldn't even know it was a lie.
Can you really call yourselves friends?
Did something happen with Hase-kun?
You've been acting differently...
Sorry... I don't remember the past, so I'm not sure.
But until recently, you thought
Hase-kun was a special friend, right?
A special friend...
I do think he's really nice.
I wrote a lot about Hase-kun in my diary, too...
But I don't know if he was special.
Oh...
You're just pretending.
I thought the same thing.
I'm just repeating the same thing.
Her memories are reset again and again.
But... But by being near her, I felt that Fujimiya-san's memories
were staying within her, always adding one upon another.
That's why...
No matter what anyone says, Fujimiya-san and I are friends!
I know I won't make any progress standing still.
So I'll repeat my week again.
I'll become her friend from the beginning again,
praying that our destination
will turn into something good for Fujimiya-san.
Important Friends.
