Have you...
ever fallen...
in love?
The Person I Love the Most
Midterms are finally over, aren't they?
I didn't do well on any of them...
Kei-chan, it must've been tough for you because of the sports festival.
Yeah, yeah.
Ayumi-chan, you agree too, right?
Ayumi?
Zaitsu-kun.
Thanks for these.
As thanks, I'll bake you some cookies, okay?
N-No, you don't have to.
I'll get them right this time!
Okay?
Really, just the thought is enough.
Here.
I-I'll give it to you.
For picking it up.
See ya!
Thanks, Zaitsu-kun.
I love candies!
I like Zaitsu-kun even more now!
But it's so embarrassing I can't say it!
Seems like something good happened to you, Ayumi-chan.
It probably has something to do with Zaitsu-kun, doesn't it?
Lucky!
I want Onii-chan to think I'm a good girl too!
There it is.
Koyoi's "Onii-chan~"
If possible, I don't want to run into my sister.
You're the one that said, "Take a look at my sister!"
I bet she's ugly enough to reduce the world to tears, though.
My Koyoi is a beauty!
She's way prettier than your sister who's just as monkey faced as you!
You bastard...
Don't you dare insult Ayumi when you haven't even seen her before!
Plus, you shouldn't say such weird things.
"The most important woman in this world is..."
My sister.
I'm telling you that's messed up!
Having romantic feelings for your sister is-
...isn't messed up at all!
That's because these aren't romantic feelings!
This is a love the size of the universe, one that defies time and space!
That's the only thing that compares.
True love!
As long as she's happy, I'm fine!
Though, I'd be happier if the one by her side were me!
You idiot, they're going to see us!
Onii-chan!
Koyoi!
I'm so happy!
You came to pick me up!
"Onii-chan"?!
T-This is Bessho's...
What are you doing here, Onii-chan?!
This is embarrassing, so hurry and get off!
You've been thinking a lot about me, haven't you?
I love you, Onii-chan!
What's with these completely opposite reactions?
Koyoi-chan has a huge brother complex.
Who's that?
So that's the fabled brother.
Your friends are looking at you weird!
I won't get off until you take me home!
Okay... W-Well, Arihara, I'm just going to go home.
Bye everyone! See you all tomorrow!
That's the first time I've seen Koyoi-chan's brother, but...
They don't look alike at all.
I was wondering how hot he would be after hearing her go "Onii-chan! Onii-chan!"
Well, Ayumi's brother's also...
It's pretty bad, isn't it?
Why aren't there any decent men around me?
It's not nice of you to say things like that!
Don't talk behind my back! It only makes me sass!
Well then Ayumi, how about we go home together once in a while too?
Keep the jokes to yourself!
That's why I told you my brother isn't cool!
Ayumi's also at a difficult age.
Mommy, two good things happened today.
The first is that midterms are over,
and the second is that Onii-chan came all the way to school to pick me up.
But the thing that makes me even happier is...
Koyoi Midterms
Daddy's Business Trip
Starting tomorrow, I'll be alone with Onii-chan!
Onii-chan~
What are you doing?
I was warming up your pajamas for you!
You don't need to do that.
But you just got warmed up in the bath,
so you wouldn't like it if they were cold when you put them on, right?
I don't want you to catch a cold!
Oh, I see. Thanks.
So treat me like a good girl, Onii-
Don't get carried away!
This and that are two completely different things!
Onii-chan, you meanie!
But starting tomorrow...
Okay, okay.
Onii-chan, ahhhh.
Things like this and things like that!
The old man went to gather firewood...
I hope Daddy's business trip lasts even one day longer!
Ok, the lunchboxes are ready.
Onii-chan, wake up!
Hey, you've got cleaning duty today so you have to get to school early, don't you?
If you don't hurry and wake up...
I'll give you a wake up kiss!
N-No, no, no! Anything but that!
Gosh, I was just kidding.
You're such a bad sport, Onii-chan.
It's already this late?
I'm leaving!
Wait, onii-chan!
Here's your lunch.
It's all right.
I'm too embarrassed to eat such a decorated lunch in front of everyone.
Today's is normal.
Also...
All done.
It's like we're newlyweds.
Damn it! I lost precious time for no reason!
Onii-chan...
I don't get it at all!
I accidentally thought of my brother just now!
I don't know how I'd see him as a man at all!
Really?
What about your family, Doba-chan?
I don't really talk with my brother.
I know, right?
They act so proud, stupid, and annoying even though they're so stupid!
There's no way to live peacefully with those smelly feet either, right?
When you fight with him, you fight him whole-heartedly, don't you?
It's a do-or-die death match, isn't it?!
I think your household is just a little different.
Our relationship at home isn't that bad...
See? See?
Then... Then what about you, Kei-chan?
Oh, you just have an older sister.
Yup.
What about your family, Chikura-chan?
Huh?
Chikura's brother is really handsome.
I would understand if Chikura ever started liking her brother,
Koyoi's is just plain, or lame, I guess.
Kei-Kei-chan...
She's right there!
O-Oh, sorry.
I'm so glad!
Huh?!
About what?
I was thinking if one of you started liking Onii-chan, I wouldn't know what to do.
But now I know that won't happen.
I'm really glad!
And the day her brother gets a girlfriend...
Koyoi-chan will be shocked...
because of the sister-in-law.
She wouldn't hesitate to poison her.
I told you that's not possible.
But I'm telling you it's good! Put sugar on chawanmushi!
It's okay. I'll pass.
Enomoto, how about you?
Did you try it?
No, I'm obsessed with Nostradamus's "The Prophecies", so I don't have time for that!
You've got another hobby.
I'll pass on both Nostradamus and sugar on chawanmushi.
I would pass too, but I guess I can't say that out loud.
What part of this is a regular bento?! What part?!
What's wrong, Bessho-kun?
Did you get something you hate eating?
Tomatoes with sugar on them?
Something like that!
Sorry for being so loud.
See? I told you.
Putting sugar on tomatoes or chawanmushi is unbelievable.
Good thing they didn't see it.
Wait, what does she mean by sugar on tomatoes?
Stop saying "Unbelievable!" and just try it once.
Yamamoto-san.
Enomoto, you too.
What?
Arihara's sister?
Yeah, my precious sister.
Why did she have to fall in love with a beast like that of all people?
Well if that's what makes her happy, then...
Is staying silent while watching her get defiled by his hands the only thing I can do?
You've got to be kidding!
What part of that frightening guy is she drawn to exactly?
It's the candy.
Candy?
Yeah.
It tastes like Zaitsu-kun~
He won my sister over with a lollipop!
Unforgivable!
I don't get it at all...
Yamamoto-san.
Wait here.
I'll show you how it happened with a live demo.
Demo?
H-Hey!
Hey, Yamamoto!
That looks really tiring.
Isn't it really heavy?
I'll carry it for you.
Huh?
Before that, let me give you a reward.
Get out of the way if you don't plan to help.
Are you stupid?!
What are you doing to Yamamoto-san?!
Sorry, my bad.
I'll carry that for you.
Sorry, Yamamoto-san. Just throw it away if it creeps you out.
What? You're so rude!
Let's go.
H-Hey, you're going to make me drop it!
Why did you do that all of a sudden?
Look.
She's totally pissed off.
Yeah, I guess it would piss her off.
But my sister apparently enjoys it.
As a brother, I'm shocked that she falls for things like that!
You had better apologize.
Why did you get mad all of a sudden?
I'm not mad!
See? You are.
I told you I'm not!
I'm home.
Welcome home.
Would you like to have dinner or...
a bath?
Don't tell me you plan on continuing this morning newlyweds act?
But starting today, it's just going to be you and me living alone together!
Crap! Dad left on his business trip today!
This sucks!
Dinner or a bath?
Or m-a-y-b-e...
What's this?
Theres a lobster. A lobster!
Yeah!
It's our first day together, so I put some effort into it!
Are you stupid?!
Huh?
You don't like lobster?
That's not it.
We need to save money!
How much did this cost?
The bento too...
Can you stop doing things like that?
No, uh...
Sorry for saying such harsh things when you make lunch for me everyday.
Koyoi, your cooking is really good, you know!
But... decorated lunches and "LOVE" are a bit-
But I love you, Onii-chan!
Crap...
Back to this again...
Okay, okay. Let's eat before it gets cold.
Okay!
Here, Onii-chan. Aah!
Gosh, you're so shy.
Man, right when Dad leaves she goes and does as she pleases.
Onii-chan.
What?
I'll wash your back for you.
Whoa! Stupid! Don't just barge in here!
Don't be embarrassed. Come on, hurry!
Isn't it normal to be embarrassed?
The phone's ringing!
It might be Dad!
Stupid Daddy.
Hello? Bessho residence.
Oh, um...
Is Yoshihiko-kun available?
A girl's voice?
My name is Yamamoto. Is Yoshihiko-kun there.
Yoshihiko-kun?!
Um... Hello?
Maybe you have us mixed up with a different Bessho?
Jeez...
Bessho is a really common last name too.
And our Yoshihiko never has females contact him, so...
Are you listening, Yamamoto-san?
Yamamoto-san?
Yamamoto-san?!
Hello?! It's me!
No...
Yamamoto-san?! Good evening!
Girlfriend?
No, no. My little sister. It was my little sister.
Huh?
Tomorrow?
You want to talk?
Yeah, it's fine.
Onii-chan, you're smiling too much!
Okay, we'll talk about it then.
I did it!
Maybe she's the person that Onii-chan...
Onii-chan's emitting an aura of happiness!
Too far! Onii-chan, you're too far away!
B- But I don't...
I don't know for sure if she's his girlfriend!
If it's just his one-sided love, then there still might be a way...
Oh, Koyoi.
I'm going out tomorrow, so...
Do you think that the clothing store's still open?
A call from a girl...
He wants to buy new clothes
Going out tomorrow
Definitely a date!!
Maybe they are?
Oh, is that so~
Just bear with it, Koyoi! Now's not the time to question him!
I hope things don't get awkward with Onii-chan!
First, I need to check out the area and figure out what kind of person she is!
Welcome.
Tailing success!
Have you decided on what you would like to order?
A chocolate parfait.
Right away...
Hey, look over there!
Damn, she's hot!
She's really pretty!
Hey, go talk to her!
What?
No, it's impossible. Absolutely impossible!
She's really pretty!
Yamamoto-san, over here!
Oh, Bessho-kun.
Sorry, did I keep you waiting?
This is the girl my brother likes?
I just got here.
What should I do? She has everything I don't have.
Like breasts...
and sexiness!
So, Yamamoto-san...
Isn't it weird to eat candy at a family restaurant?
Even though it's a place where people eat and drink.
That's true, but...
After what happened...
I think I'm in love.
What?! Who did you fall in love with?!
What're you doing to Yamamoto-san?!
Sorry, my bad.
I'll carry that for you.
Sorry, Yamamoto-san. Just throw it away if that creeps you out.
What? You're so rude!
Let's go.
H-Hey, you're going to make me drop it!
Why did you do that all of a sudden?
And? You fell in love with...
With the candy.
And with Arihara.
T-Then the one that Yamamoto-san likes...
isn't Onii-chan...
Yay!
Oh, that's great!
Yamamoto-san likes someone else~
I'm happy, but Onii-chan, who was rejected is...
Okay, I'm going to make Onii-chan's favorite hamburger for dinner!
And, since you're always with Arihara...
I wanted you to tell me about him.
Like about his past relationships...
Or if he has someone he likes...
That's no problem!
I'm so stupid.
What am I doing?
He's a bit soft-hearted...
and really nice!
So, we're trying to save money, and you made a 100% Matsusaka beef hamburger?
Koyoi, you can make a good hamburger without buying expensive meat.
*Glance*
And what do you mean there's only 5000 yen left of the money Dad gave us?!
I'm sorry.
Well, we can't do anything about the money already spent.
I guess I'll just call dad later and-
But he's actually the reliable brother that...
Like I thought, it's really good.
Isn't it!
I love!
I, Watase Meguru, was reunited with my first love.
My heart is pounding.
But he asked me a favor, and, even though it's from someone I like, I can't do it!
