They say those who die go to heaven.
I don't think so.
I think when we die, we go to live on in someone else's heart.
We live on in their memories.
Just like how our parents stay in our hearts.
But with time, memories fade.
That's why people wish to leave something behind.
They don't want to be forgotten.
Is it recording?
The viewfinder is black...
Nobody wants to be forgotten.
What's that?!
Her hands were so beautiful.
Huh? What? Why am I...
Let's see, what did I do yesterday...
I went out to test out my new high-speed camera,
and then...
Kaito! It's time for you to wake up! You'll be late for school!
Sure...
Waiting for you in that summer
The sea breeze strokes your cheeks
and yet you say nothing
I really want to know what it feels like
to see you smile now
I felt like we had kissed already
when I looked into your eyes
Now the wind sweeps away
the borderline between dreams and reality
Or, in simpler words,
my perfect everyday life
feels like a movie I watched at some point
Though we live life like drifters
crossroads and irreplaceable times await us
In the river of this summer that appeared
forever lost like burnt film
I can see a reflection of things sure to come
I will break free of the mysteries I looked at
and accept the hand you offer me
You're going abroad?
Just for three months, you know.
Where are you going?
Bolivia. My company needs people there.
Hey, Kai...
Will you be fine without me?
You're looking forward to it, aren't you?
Just go.
I can take care of myself, and summer break is just around the corner anyway.
Don't throw wild parties in my absence.
Of course not.
Also, mind your manners.
I'll do some shopping on the way home, but I'll be back before seven at the latest.
Got it. Take care.
You too.
Home alone, huh?
This'd make a pretty picture.
Red hair...
Why... Why?
Why is everyone staring at me?
What did I do wrong?
So, Kai, where will you shoot it?
Huh?
Weren't you scouting for a location yesterday?
You had your camera with you.
No, I was just trying it out yesterday.
You're hatching a movie, aren't you, Director?
I'm just recording things I see. Nothing else.
Come on... I was thinking of helping you with it.
But if Tetsuro stars in it, all the girls would get wet panties.
Really, now?
I don't see the problem.
But what about you, Mio?
Kai, how about filming Mio?
It's summer, so we could shoot something like an idol promo video...
What do you think?
No cost involved and you don't need a script.
Now that I think about it...
They're thinking about... imagining me...
Men sure are carnal creatures.
Just kidding. However, you know...
I'd love to do something.
Something? Such as?
Dunno...
Just something.
Yeah, we're high schoolers after all.
And it's summer.
You're right. We should do something during the holidays.
Well, well...
I was wondering what you filmed with so much devotion...
So she's your type.
The camera's still recording.
You've got it wrong...
I see. She's pretty much the complete opposite of Kanna.
Hey! How exactly?
In many ways.
I asked you how exactly!
I said in many ways.
How could you be less specific? You're always...
Come on, just calm down.
The truth was right before my eyes.
Staff room
I apologize for being late.
I'm supposed to attend school here from now on.
My name is Takatsuki Ichika.
The drama we have our parts in
The bell's already rung! Homeroom, everyone!
has already started.
Open your books.
It's already being caught on film.
Takatsuki Ichika
Tell me about the clubs you were in where you come from!
Getting a transfer student halfway through is kind of unusual.
I love the color of your hair.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Come on. Shuffle off, hungry beasts.
What's wrong, Yamano?
Get off our case.
She's our classmate now!
Get yourselves in line, or I'm gonna have some fun.
You free this afternoon?
So, like, yesterday on TV...
I'm Yamano Lemon.
I'm Takatsuki Ichika.
Is something weird about me?
I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Do... you?
Umm, Yamano...
Just call me Lemon.
Okay, Lemon. Can I ask you something?
Go on.
Why are you wearing a different uniform?
Can't tell. Top secret.
I see...
Anyway, that's a weird combination.
What's wrong with it?
I have drinks and food that dehydrates...
Isn't that what you normally buy?
Is there maybe some regional specialty—
You are a weird one.
How? In what way?
That's it, exactly.
Her name is Takatsuki Ichika.
She's in class 3-A as of today.
She's 160cm tall. Weight is 41kg.
Her measurements are 92-56-88.
Her shoe size is...
Where are you getting this from?
Where, you ask?
Professor,
can you tell me some things about the third-year girl who transferred here today?
Well... fine, Ishigaki. But don't spread it around.
That's how the story goes.
Isn't that somehow against the law?
Where's the gratitude?
Thank you!
You're welcome.
What are you doing here?
Oh, Tanigawa.
Hey. Ate lunch already?
Yeah.
Oh, I get it now.
Are you going to stalk someone with your camera again?
Absolutely not! I must have put it on record by accident.
You lie!
I don't!
What?
I want to beat you!
You're beating me already!
Lover's quarrel.
Tanigawa, stop it!
Okay, let's do it!
I can't do it! I don't have any cute bikinis or stuff like that!
Hey, let's go!
Huh?
Go? Where?
Hey, is something wrong with my food...
Hello!
Sorry, can I have a moment?
Come on, Tetsuro...
What are you doing?
I got this.
Uh, okay.
So, what is it?
You're Takatsuki Ichika, right? The one who transferred today.
I'm first-year Ishigaki Tetsuro. This is Kirishima Kaito.
We were thinking of making a movie with our friends in it,
and I thought it would be nice to have you in it too!
What?!
What?
What's that all about now?
I'll do it.
I mean, if you really want me in it,
I'd be happy to help.
Once you've started something, it's hard to put it to rest again.
Very well.
I'll be in it too.
What?
I'm third-year Yamano Lemon. Nice to meet you.
The camera had started filming us
Third-year?!
You're older than us?
when none of us even realized it.
Episode 1
You shouldn't do that
You just have to ask others.
You can all relax at the pool this period.
Of course, I was surprised too that she accepted.
Ichika is so forthcoming.
You're mental.
Act on your impulses!
That's my motto!
I'm feeling awesome.
The view is great here too.
You sound like an old lecher.
Hey, are you really making a movie?
We've already told the third-years.
Right?
What is it going to be about?
We're just going to leave that to our tiny senior Lemon.
She said...
Yeah, just leave the script to me.
I have a book with scripts I wrote for Lucas.
Hollywood level?!
You were just doodling, right?
Tehehe.
That's what she said.
All right.
Count me in too, then.
Me too. Maybe I can help out backstage.
No, you belong on film, Mio!
No way! No way!
Why? You'd be great!
A movie, huh?
Director...
Can you teach me how to act?
Then I'll start with the ins and unders...
You mean ins and outs.
What's so funny?
Nothing.
By the way, what's that?
This, here!
What?
Isn't that a hickey?
What?
Here.
Are you prepared for anything?
Huh, what's this?!
I'm telling you, it's a hickey.
It's not!
I guess some bug bit me while I was filming yesterday!
Damn, I don't remember anything, tho—
He... suddenly fell silent...
Has it come to you?
So, what was it you "discovered'?
That's not what happened!
The peasants demanded that their tax be lowered.
The bourgeoisie demanded the freedom to associate with other classes.
I'm glad.
Many demanded that the country open itself to the world.
He seems to be all right.
These three currents...
Tomorrow when summer break starts, let's all meet up and talk about the movie.
Okay...
I'll call the third-year girls myself.
See you all tomorrow, then.
Sure.
See you tomorrow!
Yeah.
I'm going home too.
Sure, take care.
He's really looking forward to it.
Kaito, I mean.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Do you think this was a mistake?
What was?
The more chances there are, the better.
Hang in there.
Your hands-off style pisses me off!
Why am I so happy?
This movie thing is a bit unexpected...
Huh, is that...?
I'm doing it right. I must be.
What are you doing?
Ah, um...
My name's Kaito. Kirishima Kaito.
Oh, Kaito. Why are you here?
I saw you from over there.
You're fishing, right?
Yeah! I've always liked fishing.
That's nice to know, but...
There are no fish in this river.
T-Thanks for telling me.
I'm glad I could help you.
I'm new here. I don't know a lot of things.
That was really nice of you.
I-If you want to fish, there's a bigger river with fish not that far away.
Well then, if you'll exc...
It's okay.
Glad to know you.
Me too. Glad to know you.
Did I waste my chance?
I should have stuck with her for a bit longer.
Maybe, just maybe...
Let's be honest.
I believe you moved here alone, Ichika?
Amazing! How did you know?
It's obvious from the luggage you're carrying.
I'm something of an armchair detective.
I concluded you must be alone and looking for a place to stay.
Completely right again!
You can't stay where you thought you could.
Bingo-bingo!
Honestly, you are totally lost.
The fact that you were trying to fish there proves that.
Bingo again!
Say...
Want to stay at my place?
Well, if you don't mind.
Are you sure I could?
Of course.
By the way, this is my house.
It's so huge!
It was my dead grandma's. It's so huge half of it can't be taken care of.
You couldn't possibly make it worse.
Sounds wonderful!
Also, if we live together, I could teach you this and that about how to act in movies.
All the ins and unders!
I think you mean ins and outs.
Oh, really?
Wait, dream's over?
Huh?
How long have you been standing there?
For a while now.
Kaito?
But I'm really glad, you know.
I didn't know what to do.
What are you talking about?
The "Want to stay at my place?" part.
So that's where you tuned in, huh.
Wait a second, that earlier was my delusion or imagination, I'm not sure...
Besides, my sister lives here too.
I don't know what she would say if I suddenly brought a girl home with me...
You're right... Yeah, that's true...
I get it. Sorry I came here.
Where are you going?
I'll try to pitch a tent somewhere.
Oh, please!
Hi, Nanami!
Hey, Kanna!
It's rare to see you around here so early.
I already cleaned up my desk and I had preparations to take care of...
Preparations?
Yeah. But my bike decided to break down on me.
Oh right. Kanna, can you lend me a hand here?
What?
Just make yourself at home.
I'll put your luggage...
This is so heavy!
How did you get it here?
Gravi—
Gravi?
Oh, I gradually got used to it. There's a trick to it.
This is just for one night, you know.
You can stay here tonight, and then...
What's so interesting?
Sorry, this is my first time in a boy's room.
Oh, really?
Right! We shouldn't just bum around.
I'll bring you some food later— well, actually, no...
My sister will come home around seven,
so you should take a shower before then.
Do you have your clothes in there?
Sorry...
What's in it?
Okay, so this is the shampoo...
Pajamas, pajamas...
So Nanami liked negligees...
This should do fine.
I put some clothes for you on the washing machine.
Thanks!
Keep it closed!
There's still some time until seven.
Man, today is killing me.
I met her... I'm making a movie with her...
And now she's sleeping at my place for some reason.
Well, I have to clean up my stuff for now and get changed.
This needs fixing too.
Ouch!
Is this where the bug bit me?
What's going on...
Kaito, these clothes are...
Kaito?!
Kaito! Kaito!
What's wrong?
Wake up!
Kaito!
The metabolism... of his cells...
Yno!
I'm glad it works...
Sorry... I'm sorry. You'll be fine.
You were a big help! Thanks, Kanna.
No sweat. But will you really be gone for three months?
Yup. I'm leaving Kai in your care.
Just stay here if you want.
I wouldn't...!
I'm cheering for you, Kanna!
What do you mean?!
Oh, please.
Um... well...
What's wrong?
You know, I should see an optometrist.
I saw this fata morgana that a girl was hugging Kai surrounded by ball of light.
Oh. come on. You can't be serious.
I know, right?
U-Um...
I...
Wha—
What?!
That's the last straw!
What are you doing?!
Um...
Just get away from him!
As you may well realize, I was unconscious.
Dynamite!
All I know is...
All that's left is...
It felt like a picture of our feelings
could be more beautiful than the shapes of clouds
When I take in the smells of midsummer, I recall all of it
In my memories I can smell nothing but
the wonders someone gave me as a gift
like the drops of an evening rain
With her
I don't want to...
Make you face...
These boiling feelings...
Wouldn't stop.
