As I tried to kiss you, as if to avoid me...
...with your T-Shirt on, you dove into the shining sea...
The white flower petals on your soaking skirt...
Spread open upon the surface of the blue water.
Tell me why, when you winked...
Oh Baby, Tell Me, Tell Me - You're unpredictable...
'Tell me you love me, Tell me that you need me...
Tell Me, Tell Me, ...my Angel of the Summer...
'Tell me, lover, Tell me that you need me...
Oh Baby, Tell Me, Tell Me - I know that you're in love...
'Tell me you love me, Tell me that you need me...
Tell Me, Tell Me - but you're a mystery.
Kurumi... is in love, eh...?
-Hayami! All right! -Cool! Way to go!
He's... wonderful!
What?!
How dare he be such a double-dealer?! I won't let him get away with it!
I really appreciate your feelings for me, Kurumi, but...
That bastard! He's dead meat!
Oooh! I hate every one of you!
A Tender Little Story! Kurumi's First Love - Chapter "Hell"
It all started in the dead of night...
Why, Kurumi... It's you.
Were you pigging out on leftovers or something?
No... I just couldn't fall asleep, so...
Y... You?!
Kurumi, are you all right?! Are you sick?!
I was watching the beautiful, pure twinkling of the heavens...
Oh... How can I explain this feeling inside my heart?
Now is no time for suicide!
Th... That's right! This is surely just a terrible nightmare!
So lyrical...
What?! "In love?!"
I'm sure of it! I'll bet that she's in love!
She, of all people, eh?
That's gotta be it, right, Madoka?
Perhaps! It can't be easy being her older brother, huh?
What? Oh... Well!
That reminds me, Madoka's been acting strange lately too.
Maybe she's in love as well!
What?!
Hikaru!
Darling!
Whoa!
Love has the power to make fair damsels into romantic fools!
Do you see... that I'm all mellow, and feeling romantic!
Ayukawa... is in love?!
Kurumi... is in love, eh...?
On your marks! Get set!
BURP!
The Kurumi that I know?!
Who did she fall for, I wonder?
Hi, Kasuga! Got a moment?
What do you want?! You're grossing me out!
Th... This moron... It can't be him!
1... 2... 1... 2...
My signature?! What for?!
Uh... You see...
I'm chairman of the Committee to form the Koryo Babes' New-Gymnastics Club!
I would appreciate your signature! You know!
When you want to talk to someone, look at him as you speak!
Uh... So, as I was gonna say...
"No! No! That's not the way it's done! Allow me..."
"You shampooed your hair this morning! Sure smells nice!"
"Oh, coach!"
"Oh! Coach!"
-"Coach!" -"Coach!"
-"Please check on me too!"
"Check my performance too!"
"See mine?"
"Oh! This is too much! This is too much for me!"
"This is too much! This is..."
This is too much!
Too much!
There's no way... that it's you!
If Komatsu isn't the one, then...
Want one?
Huh?
Psych!
Say, wanna enjoy a Cutlet-Sandwich with me?
And he's right out of the running!
-1... 2... 1... 2... 1... 2... 1... 2... -Which means...
I know it's a remote possibility, but...
D... Damn!
Hey, Yuusaku! Did you get some coffee-milk for me?!
Oh, Hikaru! Of course, see?
Let's enjoy 'em together!
Hold it right there!
Oh! Oh, Sempai!
We're in the middle of practice!
E... Er...
Will you bring it to me right away?!
Yuusaku!
S... Sempai... Forgive me!
Lady Hikaru! I, Yuusaku, have brought that which you sought!
What's with this?! I asked you to bring me a coffee-milk!
B... But, it was sold out... Fruit juice is good too, I'm sure...
You know, I can't stand undependable people!
H... Hikaru!
He can't be the one either.
Then... who could it possibly be...?
There it goes!
All right! Let's get 'em!
There!
Okay... There!
Hayami! All right!
A-ha! He must be the one!
What am I, her big brother, supposed to do?! Hmm...
Smashin'!
Oh, thank you!
Er... Er...
No doubt about it... Kurumi's in love!
Oh! Sure, I know him!
He's the Soccer Club's ace striker. His name is Hayami Jun.
And, he's really popular with all the girls!
"Hayami?"
Oh? You know him, Madoka?
"Dear Ms. Ayukawa Madoka, Part 5"
Er... Uh-huh... I've heard a little about him...
He's really popular with the girls, after all.
"Hayami Jun..."
"From Hayami Jun"
What do you think, Ayukawa?
What? What do you mean?
What I mean is... about Kurumi falling in love...
I'm wondering what I, as her brother, ought to do.
It's him!
Ayukawa!
Hi there.
I apologize, for not having written back.
Oh, no.
Is it true that you're leaving town for good, right away?
Yes. By next Sunday... It all has to do with my father's business.
So... I wanted to tell you exactly how I feel.
Ayukawa... I've always had feelings for you!
Ayukawa!
E... Er... Ayukawa...
Huh? Oh, Kasuga! What is it?
Er... w... well... what I mean is...
Huh?
...a younger guy... well...
You were watching, weren't you.
Huh?!
He's... wonderful!
Eyaaahh...!
No wonder he's popular with all the girls.
Don't you agree, Kasuga?
What happened to you, Oniichan?
This is odd! Usually...
"I just love to slurp 'n suck!"
...he's like that!
I'm leaving!
Oh! See you!
-Good luck, okay! -Oh! Yeah!
Huh...? Where's she going?
Well, she's got a date with Hayami.
A date with Hayami?!
Yup! She was jumping with joy, because he asked her out!
Would you please hurry up, Manami?!
I know... Wait for me, okay!
But, really... how dare he ask Kurumi out...
...when he's chasing after someone else!
Uh-huh! There's no doubt about that!
Oniichan! How's this?!
Fantastic! You are indeed twins! You look just like Kurumi!
I won't let this Hayami guy get away with it!
With this disguise, I'll find out just what his true feelings are!
Uh-huh! Don't let me down!
How dare he be such a double-dealer?! I won't let him get away with it!
I don't have anything smaller.
Umao!
Ushiko!
-Wh-er-ef-or-e art th-ou... -Wh-er-ef-or-e art th-ou...
-U-ma-o...? -U-shi-ko...?
...er... and so...
...my oniichan's been going after two girls!
Oh! Y... You must be thinking how exciting that is...
Huh? Oh, no! That's not true!
H... Uh-huh! Of course not! As a man, I can't let him get away with that!
H... He's the epitome of indecisiveness!
Though... I wonder who he really prefers...
Which one do you think he prefers, Kurumi?
What?! W... Well... er... er...
That's... Oniichan's trade secret!
"Trade secret?!"
N... No, Hayami!
What's wrong with this, Kurumi?!
Hayami, you have someone else already, don't you?!
Oniichan... You okay?
Th... That's perfect... Manami...
-All right! Now's your chance! Go! -Right!
Hayami!
Th... That was quick!
I need to have a word with you.
Sorry... about this unsightly mess...
Listen, Hayami...
H... H... Hayami...
D... D... Don't you...
like s... s... s...
Don't you like sukiyaki?!
Huh?!
I... I like it a lot too!
Umm... Those are mine...
Oh my! How careless of me!
Shame on me! Shame on me!
I said I don't want it!
Oh, c'mon!
See? I got way too much, y'know!
It's their exclusive "Super Deluxe Ultra Special Hamburger!"
How can I possibly eat all this?!
Now, now...
I've no time... to waste here... on your nonsensical baloney!
Now, now. I only need a minute of your time, see. Okay? Okay?
I'm really sorry!
It's okay. Don't worry.
-Oh! -Oh!
OH! I'm sorry!
Er... I'll fix it right away!
I'm really good at doing this kind of thing!
Oh! I'm sorry!
"Lick."
Ta-da. That'll do it!
"Snip!"
Sorry for the trouble!
Fine! I'll help! I'll help, if that's what you want!
My job's done! Please take your time and enjoy your treat!
D... Dammit...
Kurumi!
Oh, Hayami! Sorry to keep you waiting!
K... Kurumi, you are...
Huh?
...always coming and going!
Huh?
Ayukawa's got a problem too! How dare she hook up with such a guy?!
It was so touching... The scene where they confessed their love!
That's true.
I'm gonna come back again with Kasuga-sempai!
And, just like in the movie...
...we two shall make a dreamy confession of love! Yeah, sure!
You must really like Kasuga, huh?
Oh gee, you don't have to be so blunt about it!
If you'd like... please use it.
Kurumi...
Oh, er... er... I sewed it in a bit of a rush, so...
...it didn't come out perfectly.
Still, it took me a long time to finish it.
I'm not very handy at doing things like this.
Say, Kurumi...
Huh?
I really appreciate your feelings for me, Kurumi, but...
Huh?!
There's something I need to tell you.
Sempai!
Huh?
Whatcha doing here?!
-I love you! -Wh... Whoa!
Shhhh!
A... Ayukawa!
A... Ayukawa... you have every reason to be upset with me, but... er...
Oh? You're not upset?
Oh! Look at Kurumi!
That bastard! He's dead meat!
You bastard!
Wh... What is this?!
I'm Kurumi's brother! How dare you mess around with her?!
Kasuga!
D... Darling!
Goddammit! You womanizing bastard!
Eat this!
Stop this! Please!
Whoa...
Kasuga!
Ayukawa! Now do you see what kind of bastard this guy is?!
I'll kick his ass and...
STOP! You've got it all wrong, Kasuga!
Hayami told me that he'll be moving away tonight...
...so I asked him... to ask Kurumi out on a date.
Oooh! I hate every one of you!
Oniichan, Hayami, Madoka, everyone!
How could you do this?! Don't you know that I've got feelings too?!
Every and every and every one of you...
I hate you ALL!
Kurumi!
Just what's going on here?
Kurumi didn't show up, after all...
Hayami, I'm sorry that I made such a crazy request.
In hindsight, it wasn't such a good idea.
For Kurumi, it would've been better if I hadn't...
Ayukawa...
...don't worry about everyone else, Ayukawa.
Take better care of your own love.
-What?! -What?!
There is a love in your life, isn't there?
Gosh! Madoka, is that so?!
I... already know who it is.
Huh?!
Tell me! Who is he talking about?! Is it someone I know?
Er... well...
Tell me, won't you?
W... Well...
Hey! Hayami!
It was a real job getting Kurumi here!
I'm sorry about before! I had it all wrong! I'm sorry! I apologize!
K... Kasuga, please!
I'm sorry about this afternoon!
Kurumi and I are twins, so...
...I made myself look like her, and...
I'm sorry! I was so worried about Kurumi...
Oh, boy!
Hayami-san...
Huh?
I'm sorry about before... I was so mad that I... well...
It's all right.
But, you know, there are a lot of busybodies around you!
But then... I sure envy you!
Hayami!
Oh... How am I supposed to leave now?!
Thanks for the towel. I'm sure I'll be using it.
-Good-bye! -Good-bye!
-Good-bye, Kurumi!
I'll write you, once I get settled!
Kurumi...
Isn't this romantic, Sempai?
Y... Yeah.
Say, Sempai... Did you know?
Huh?
...that Madoka too has someone she has feelings for.
Broken Heart is in Flames. "It began in the summer..."
Hold me, Hold me, Hold me, Fire Love. "It burnt up in the fall..."
Broken Heart is in Flames. "It's withering in the winter..."
Flare, Flare, Flare like the Sun, Fire Love...
On that last night we went out for a drive, I left my go-out voice behind.
As we watched the horizon, I said good-bye.
Like seasons, hit songs come and go... As you get used to one, you're tired of it...
That's what's written on your profile.
You were waiting for the lucky star in your room...
...I was too late to notice it in that one phone call that day.
Broken Heart is in Flames. "It began in the summer..."
Hold me, Hold me, Hold me, Fire Love. "It burnt up in the fall..."
Broken Heart is in Flames. "It's withering in the winter..."
Flare, Flare, Flare like the Sun, Fire Love...
Erase the memory of you from me... "Stop, Stop, Stop."
What?! "Hikaru-Is-My-Life" Yuusaku confessed his love for Ayukawa?!
What's he trying to do?!
But, Ayukawa accepts his love, and the two elope...
...riding a midnight express!
Next time: "Madoka and Yuusaku! The Marching Song of Runaway Youths."
I... feel like I've been beaten to the punch.
