Yes, that's it! Cute!
Perfect! Love that expression!
Fantastic, isn't she?
She's our agency's most sought-after model.
Got any guys?
Someone who could hold their own in a shot with Megu-tan?
That's a tall order...
I'll try to find someone.
Look, Mei.
He's usually so cautious...
Actually, he's friendly. He's just shy.
Right?
Ow!
What was that for?
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Cats sometimes bite when they get excited.
He doesn't hate me, does he?
Don't worry, he likes you.
If he didn't, he wouldn't let you touch him.
I see.
And you?
Do you like me?
Where did that come from?
New Message Kurosawa Nagi-san
Who's it from?
Uh, um, my mom.
Shouldn't you reply?
Yeah. I will later.
Okay.
What do you want to do on the way home today?
Wanna stop somewhere?
I'm busy today.
What about tomorrow?
I have to work.
So you're cutting me out for a few days?
It's not that...
I'm sorry...
I know.
Yamato!
Hey!
What the heck?!
Did something good happen to you two?
Something?
Ew, Yamato, you perv!
What?
Aren't you two happy, too?
Things are going well with Tachibana, right?
So you should show everyone how happy you are!
Like me and Asamicchi!
Takeshi, you dummy.
I don't mind being called a dummy by you.
I'm too happy!
Kurosawa Nagi-san Recipe Even You Can Handle Ingredients Flour - 120g Eggs - 1 Unsalted Butter - 30g Sugar - 30g
Directions 1) Sift flour 2) Soften butter in microwave (Don't melt completely)
They're delicious! How do you do it?
I guess you could say I put
my heart into everything I make.
As long as you take your time and don't cut corners,
it should naturally be delicious.
I-I see.
But I still don't think I can do it.
I'll text you a recipe later that even you can handle.
Really?
No, no! I still couldn't do it.
Hey!
Let's trade numbers.
Kurosawa Nagi-san Recipe Even You Can Handle
Feed my brother something weird and you're in trouble. -Nagi
Nakanishi and Asami sure are doing well.
They exude lovey-dovey feelings.
It's intense.
I'm glad they're both happy.
I know, right?
Well, bye for now.
Mei.
Kurosawa?
Yamato.
You still won't call me Yamato?
I couldn't possibly call you by your first name...
Not yet.
I'll make you say it one day,
so be ready, Mei.
So, first I sift the flour?
Why do I need to do that when I mix it later?
Can I use a colander?
I'm home.
Now this is unusual. So what are you making for us?
Uh, nothing...
You're home early.
Really? I told you when I'd be coming home.
Cookies, huh?
How did you know?
For your boyfriend?
N-No!
Uh, um...
I put in too much flour!
You're so clumsy.
What should I do?!
Toumei Public High School
You're kidding. Seriously?
Seriously, she went to the faculty office to greet them.
Hey, Momo-chan?
It's me, Megu. Long time no talk.
Yeah, it's near the agency.
Whoa, what's Megu-tan doing here?
Yeah, that's right. Anyway...
It's really her.
Oh, man. She's so cute.
I found the perfect place, so I moved.
Talk to you later.
Okay, thanks.
Yamato!
Yamato, Yamato!
Have you heard? This is huge!
What?
It's Megu-tan! Megu-tan!
Calm down. What's Megu-tan?
Megu-tan's Megu-tan! Oh, come on!
Come and look!
Hey!
Dessert's top model,
Kitagawa Megumi-chan, is transferring to our school, Yamato, you dunce!
Yamato?
M-Megu-tan?
Hello.
Megu-tan, your face is so small.
You're so thin.
Are you really transferring here?
Have you already been assigned a class?
Um, this is my number.
Hold on there! What do you think you're doing?
Sorry. I appreciate the thought, but my phone's memory is full.
Memory Full Contacts 500/500
Maybe another time.
I'd love to get postcards from you, though.
Yeah.
It's Megu-tan.
She really is transferring here!
Yamato-kun.
You're the one from earlier...
I know this is sudden, but do you have a girlfriend?
What?
Of course you do. My bad.
I'll be blunt.
I want to be your girlfriend, too.
I think it might be love at first sight.
I feel like my prince has appeared.
I want you to walk at my side.
I don't care if you're dating someone.
I think we'd have fun together.
Since we're both stars.
What the hell...
I'm not interested in girls who only care about looks.
Mei!
I've been waiting for you.
S-Sorry. I was on cleaning duty.
No worries. Let's go.
Okay.
I'm sorry!
I'm really sorry for offending you yesterday.
I didn't know you had a serious girlfriend.
So, um, I hope you'll see me as one of your regular classmates.
If you're okay with it,
I'd like to be friends with both of you.
Oh, uh...
I don't mind.
Yeah.
I was too harsh yesterday. Sorry.
Oh, good.
I feel like a weight's been lifted.
What happened between you guys?
Yeah, spill!
Nothing major. Ask Yamato-kun.
What?
What happened, Yamato?
Tell me!
Aren't you curious about what happened?
Huh?
Um, did something happen?
No.
Okay, then.
You shouldn't accept it so easily.
What?
Well, it really was nothing, so it's fine.
Tachibana-san.
Good morning.
Oh, Megu-tan, your uniform arrived!
Sure did. I'm so glad we finally match.
It looks super cute on you!
Doesn't it?
Y-Yeah.
Oh, I need to get back to my classroom.
Huh? Doesn't class D have biology next?
Don't you have to change rooms?
Do I? Where's the biology lab?
Yamato, Megu-tan doesn't know where all the classrooms are yet.
Could you show her around?
Yeah, sure.
Really?
Thanks, Yamato-kun!
It's Megu-tan. She's so pretty.
We need to hurry.
Yeah.
See you later.
She and Kurosawa-kun look so normal together.
See you later!
I know, right? They have this aura together.
Isn't it amazing just thinking about them together?
Sorry. I just moved here, so my only friend is Momo-chan.
People won't really talk to me...
They can't help it.
They're nervous having a magazine model as a fellow student.
What? But I'm not that big a star.
But you know, you could totally be a model, if you wanted.
Oh!
My agency's actually looking for a male model,
so I'm sure you could.
Not possible.
Don't say that!
You'd be an instant hit!
I'm not interested.
Why not? What a waste.
It broke!
It looks like I'm past weaponized cookies.
Now for the taste test.
There's no flavor...
I guess you could say I put my heart into everything I make.
I'm trying to do that.
The cat won't even eat it.
Not even fit for cats, huh?
Well, don't let it get you down.
What?!
You're going to be a model?!
No, not really.
I'm just filling in for the day.
What do you mean?
Kitagawa's agency is in trouble because
they don't have enough male models,
so I couldn't refuse.
I mean, one day shouldn't hurt.
I know you'll make a great model!
Wow, you're so lucky!
So they'll do your makeup and take pictures of you?
Yep! Hey, would you guys be interested in seeing the studio?
What? Hey, Kitagawa...
What?
Yes! We'd love to!
Hardly anyone gets to watch Megu-tan work.
Hold on...
You'll get in the way of the staff.
No, they won't.
We have people come watch all the time.
Hooray! We're in!
Seriously?
Mei-chan, you'll come, too, won't you?
You will, right?
Yeah...
What? You're coming, too?
Unless you don't want me to...
It's not that I don't want you there,
it'll just be embarrassing...
Anyway, Yamato-kun.
Someone from my agency wants to meet you before the shoot.
Are you free after school today?
I usually walk home with Mei.
Don't worry about me.
It sounds like an important meeting, so maybe you should go.
Thanks, Mei-chan! Sorry.
But Mei...
We don't have to walk home together every day.
My agency's president saw a picture of you, and he likes you.
He won't stop talking about meeting you.
Sorry.
Well, I guess I can go.
Great!
It's been a while since I walked home by myself.
I've been going with Kurosawa all the time lately.
Every step feels so long...
Why am I having these thoughts?
Today's theme is lovers on a date.
Try to show some movement.
Okay, got it.
Thoughts? Too bright?
Should we change the lighting?
Should we start with her holding a bag?
This is amazing. They're so professional.
I wonder if Megu-tan and Yamato are ready yet.
I'm sure they will be soon.
Megumi-chan's good to go.
I look forward to working with you!
Megu-tan, you're so cute!
Oh, you came!
Yeah! You look so pretty!
Thanks!
You really are amazing. It's like you have a special aura.
Yeah, yeah!
You really think so?
Yeah, for sure!
Yamato-kun is ready.
You really came!
This is so embarrassing...
Look at your wild hair!
Uh, um, what should I be doing?
Imagine you're with someone you like.
What?
That's it! Adorable, guys!
Come on! We're supposed to be having fun!
Right?
R-Right.
Yamato-kun, you're a natural!
Really? You think so?
Really! I would know.
Good! Perfect! That's it!
Yamato looks like a real model.
They look like a real couple...
I mean, that is the scenario.
Get closer together. Try holding hands.
Yeah, squeeze in tight.
Those two make a perfect couple.
Seriously. This is better than I expected.
Megu-tan's super into it today.
Even I'm getting excited.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Yamato shines so brightly...
There's happiness in the air, and yet...
Worry...
Inferiority...
Loneliness...
Why am I thinking these things?
Why do I feel like Yamato is drifting away from me?
Episode 6 Why...
Why?
For some reason, I've felt anxious since Yamato's modeling debut.
I shouldn't be like this! Cheerful, be cheerful!
Yay! I'm so happy!
I feel even sadder now...
You can hold me when you feel sad, meow.
