Just take another day off.
I don't want that.
Too late to force it.
Focus on getting better.
But if I take another day off, I'll be alienated.
But, you already did... maybe.
Eh?
It's been a week since entrance ceremony, of course you did.
I want to go even more, now.
No, you can't.
Not until your cold have gone away.
Nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you.
I'm Yoshioka.
Yuiko? Who are you talking to?
It's nothing.
What is it?
There's a phone call from your classmate.
Hello?
It's me.
Hello?
Yoshioka-san?
Nice to meet you.
I'm the class representative, Matsubara.
I need to tell you about some school announcement, but...
Is it okay to talk right now?
Hello?
Um...
Is your cold getting better?
Ah, it is!
Ah, I mean... I'm all healed.
I see.
Glad to hear that.
After the first year orientation day after tomorrow,
boys and girls will be divided for a medical checkup.
Since you need to wear gym clothes for the checkup,
don't forget to bring yours.
Hearing his gentle voice from the receiver,
my heart keeps pounding and pounding.
What a beautiful voice...
I wonder what kind of person is he?
That Matsubara-kun.
Looks like the fever went up again.
Maybe I should stay at home, longer.
It felt really bad...
Sorry.
I'm a bit dizzy.
Are you alright?
This voice...
Is your cold getting better?
Um...
Are you...
...Matsubara-kun?
Eh?!
Yes, I'm Matsubara.
Isn't that...
...a paper bag?
Matsubara-kun has a beautiful voice, but,
it looks like he's also a bit unusual.
Koe Koi
Episode 1: who's behind that voice!?
Matsubara-kun the class 1-C's representative?
That's me.
I'm class 1-C's Yoshioka.
N-nice to meet you!
Thanks for calling me, yesterday.
Ah, Yoshioka-san.
Could it be that... your cold hasn't got better, yet?
Eh?!
Well... um...
What should I say?
I said that I'm completely healed, yesterday.
Um...
Matsubara-kun?
Please come with me.
Matsubara-kun.
He's not coming, today?
Macchan...
But, he's here awhile a... - Sensei.
Yes, Midorikawa-san?
Matsubara-kun went to take some print-outs in my place.
Should be the reason why he's late.
I see.
Yoshioka-san might took another day off, today.
Sensei. - Yes?
Ah, you are...
Nishizono Aki.
About Yoshioka-san,
she's been taking days off since opening ceremony,
so everyone might think 'who the hell is she' and thought that she's weird,
I want all of you to know that she desperately wants to go to school.
That's all.
Okay.
It's impossible, maybe I should call Aki.
Sensei is not here, so let me...
How do you feel?
Um...
...thank you.
Also...
...I'm sorry...
...for being such a nuisance.
About yesterday's phone call,
I'm really happy, that's why...
...I want to hurry and say how grateful I am.
I'm sorry.
Yoshioka-san.
Can you promise me one thing?
That from now on, you won't push yourself too hard.
Matsubara-kun...
In addition,
Eh?
I think, you need another day off, today.
You're right.
I'll do that.
I'm home.
Dad, you're early today.
Where's Yuiko?
She's sleeping.
Her fever went up.
She's back without even get to class.
See?
I told her it's too early.
Hey, hey, hey, Kyoshiro. - Hm?
You remember that boy who called Yuiko, yesterday?
Yeah.
That class representative?
He has a nice voice.
That person is,
the one who helped Yuiko when she almost fell, today.
So Yuiko is in her high school phase.
I know, right.
I said, that boy is the class representative so he was just... - ...doing his job.
Right, Dad?
But, we must at least say thank you to him.
I'm sure everyone know each other, already.
What should I do if there's a strange rumor about me?
Can I get along with them?
Matsubara-kun!
Yes?
Good morning.
Oh, Yoshioka-san.
How's your cold?
I'm good, now.
Glad to hear that.
Um...
Yoshioka-san?
May I...
...walk beside you?
Yes, of course.
Our kaich? will never leave aside this matter.
Am I right?
I think so.
I wonder how that stickler will react after this.
Tremendous violation on school rules.
This foolish action,
for the sake of the other student's autonomy, as the head of student council, I...
...will never forgive this.
Here I am, worried about you
Sorry.
But Matsubara-kun is really kind.
Still, I wonder why he cover up his face?
Dunno.
Maybe, there's some kind of complexion on his face?
Hey, Aki-chan, what do you think about my skirt length?
Is it weird?
Aren't you curious about Matsubara's paper bag, Yukko?
That's intriguing, but...
Can you promise me one thing?
That from now on, you won't push yourself too hard.
...more than that, I want to talk to him about other stuff.
I... think?
Eh?
Yuiko?
I hope Yoshioka-san can get used to our class, soon enough.
Macchan.
Stop it and worry about yourself first.
Eh?
Why?
I went to the same junior high as you so I'm okay with it.
But the others...
Huh? - See.
The others are still wondering about how to react to Macchan.
But when we decide on the class rep...
Is there anyone who wants to nominate themselves?
Yes, I want to nominate myself.
Is there anyone else who wants to be nominated?
Me too.
I want to take part.
Please take care of us.
It felt like everyone were able to accept me.
Nope.
They refrained from asking.
Is that so.
What about Midorikawa?
She's a very reliable partner... - Not that.
You know, Macchan.
It's unusual for a girl to not be afraid of you.
Well, it's true.
But Yoshioka-san is also fine with it.
Not that I...
...am not curious about his paper bag, though.
Then, why don't you ask about it to Matsubara?
It's not that I didn't want to ask...
It's more like... I can't ask?
I don't know what kind of situation he's in.
Or whether...
The reason is something... he don't want to talk about... maybe?
Yuiko is as gentle as always.
But,
since I'm not as gentle as Yuiko and I'm curious about it,
let me handle this.
Eh?
W-wait! Aki-chan?!
Good morning, Matsubara-kun.
Good morning, Nishizono-san.
Hey,
why are you wearing that thing?
T-too straightforward.
Nishizono-san!
Don't you want to know, Midorikawa-san?
So?
Anything special behind it?
Oi, onna.
Being rude out of nowhere, huh?
Yu-chan...
Kagaya-kun, right?
I'm just trying to learn more about my classmate.
Your attitude don't seems like it.
You're the one who act unfriendly to your classmate, aren't you?
Why did it became like this?
Huh?
Everyone is watching?
At times like this...
Geez, what should I do?
Um...
Nice to meet you.
Finally healed from tremendous cold,
it's Yoshioka Yuiko.
I want to be friends with everyone.
Please get along with me!
Um.
My favorite food is udon!
Yukko...
I messed up!
Yoshioka-san,
please count me in.
Matsubara-kun...
I also want to,
get along with everyone.
I'm this kind of person but, for the following year,
please take care of me.
Macchan...
My favorite udon is... kitsune.
(one with sweetened deep-fried tofu)
I like that too. That's the best. - I agree.
Macchan!
I have confidence in ball games.
Matsubara-kun's very cool.
One more time? But that...
Our eyes just met!
Okay.
Well, if you consider that as his eyes, I think so.
But his clothes and personality seems impeccable.
Why don't you just call him.
Prevention is better than cure!
Can't you clean that up, properly?
Here she is. You again, huh? - What?
Yoshioka-san, about this morning...
Hm?
You broke our promise.
Eh?
You said you won't push yourself too hard.
I'm sorry.
Somehow I don't know why I ended up saying what I said.
Something about how you love udon?
Forget about that, already.
By the way, Matsubara-kun,
what's so good about kitsune udon? -Matsubara-kun.
Do you have a minute?
Yes.
Well, then.
Midorikawa-san? What is it?
I need to discuss about the class fund, if you don't mind.
Yes, of course I don't mind.
About that... - Excuse us!
I see.
He's as weird as the picture.
Excuse us!
I see.
He's as weird as the picture.
My name is Hyodo Makoto,
the school student council president. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
First year, class C... - I don't need the introduction!
I've heard those rumor about you.
The guy who keeps violating school rules. It's you.
If you want to spend another healthy school life,
explain what kind of person you are in front of everybody.
Explain?
You are covering your head.
With this...
weird thing, right there.
Can you show us your face, already?
Matsubara-kun, what are you going to do?!
