Man, I'm tired.
Oh no...
Love is Pure
My heart aches,
Excuse me...
Mr. Mashiko! I thought I told you to knock before coming in!
I did, you just didn't notice.
Just what were you doing, anyway?
I was reading!
Do you really need to hide what you were reading that badly?
It's not like that!
Whatever.
Oh, that's right. The principal was looking for you.
Okay.
Love is Pure
Mr. Mashiko?
Yeah?
Don't peek!
You're not going to open it up, right?
Didn't plan on it.
All right, I'm going now.
Now I'm curious.

You wanna join in, Nazuna?
Morning, Nazuna.
Good morning.
Good morning!
Come on, join in!
Can I?
Of course!
All right, one, two, three, four!
Two, two, three, four!
One, two, three, four!
Two, two, three, four!
Good morning, class.
I'm in a wonderful mood today!
The sky is blue, the gardens are abloom with pretty flowers, and I just feel so bubbly!
I want you all to feel like this, too!
I know! For art class today, we'll go looking for spring!
Bring your sketchbook and a subject, and let's meet up outside!
Such a vivid imagination...
Spring
I wonder what's up with Miss Yoshinoya?
It's because it's spring.
For some reason, I remember her being like this last fall too.
Oh, right, that!
October 15th "The Lofty Sky, The Shady Trees"
Art Dept.
Good morning, class.
Today, I'm struck with melancholy.
I can't calm my heart.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Or are you still too young for that?
She's at it this early in the morning?
I wonder what's up with her?
I dunno.
I guess because it's fall.
Today, let's try to find fall!
The atmosphere and lighting are different than summer. Try to incorporate that in your sketches.
I'll be going around checking on you.
She's checking her phone again?
She seems worried about something...
Yeah.
I can't really tell what...
Miya, yours has a great feel to it!
I'm drawn to the shadows, rather than the subject itself.
I can't see that in mine...
I wonder if it's fall enough?
The lofty sky makes it feel like fall.
Thanks. I'll polish it a little more.
Me too.
The lofty sky... it feels so depressing watching them alone...
Miss Yoshinoya?
It's nothing!
You've both done well bringing out the feel of fall.
It's nice! Keep going.
Tears?
Hello, Miss Yoshinoya.
Oh, hello Natsume.
This week's menu
Fried curry!! Golden Week lunch!! Leaf bowl!! Eggplant-bacon pasta!! Carbonara!!
Oh, she was doing that?
Yeah, that's weird.
I wonder what happened to her?
You're also worried, Hiro?
Aren't you? How about you, Miya?
Yeah, but she has to have some reason.
Yeah, you're right.
Hold on.
Let's review our information.
She's worried, and keeps checking her phone.
She keeps saying odd things about "the one", "sadness", and "not being able to calm her heart".
She's emotionally unstable.
As an author, what are your thoughts?
She's in love.
Love?
Love?!
It's one-sided, too.
It's probably all she can think about.
No way...
Aren't you going to eat?
You sure know everything about love, Sae.
No I d--
I mean, anyone could think of that.
We're not sure yet.
Hmm, I wonder. This just started yesterday, right?
Yeah, it was sudden.
Teacher's in love... What do we do? What do we do!?
I don't think you can do anything about it, Yunocchi.
How should I act in class this afternoon?
I wonder who it could be?
Who?
She can't be in love with herself.
She must be waiting for someone to text her.
It must be a bittersweet love...
Have you seen Miss Yoshinoya?
She was in the library earlier.
I see. Thank you.
If you see her again, be sure to tell me.
She seems to have lost her capability to be a teacher somewhere.
Sob, sob.
Lunch is over, Miss Yoshinoya.
But I have nowhere to go!
You're a teacher, you can't hide in the nurse's cot.
But I want to see how it ends!
You'll get the principal angry again.
He's always too angry at me!
Hey, Miss Kuwahara.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
It'd be a bit inconvenient to go head-over-heels like that.
Reading time is over.
Aww, I was just at the best part!
Whatever, just put your phone away. If you don't hurry, you won't make it in time.
But I wanna see what happens!
Miss Kuwahara, is love true?
Mr. Mashiko! How many times have I told you to knock before you come in!?
This is the nurse's office.
That doesn't matter!
Here you go, thanks.
What's up with Miss Yoshinoya?
Dunno.
Miss Yoshinoya seems so on edge.
Yeah, she rushed through the final homeroom.
Have your sketches from today ready to present tomorrow morning, class.
That's all for homeroom. Goodbye.
I wonder what's wrong. I'm worried.
Miya, look! Isn't that Miss Yoshinoya?
What's she doing?
I hope it's nothing dangerous...
I think she's looking at something...
Her phone again!?
What do we do, Miya!?
Let's go take a look.
What's wrong, Yuno? Did you forget something?
Hiro! Miss Yoshinoya is--!
Miss Yoshinoya is what?
Beats me.
Miss Yoshinoya! Don't do anything rash!
Yuno... You guys...
What are you doing?
We were wondering the same thing about you.
You're up here with your phone...
My phone...
Oh!
It's "Love is True".
Love is true?
Oh, that popular new phone novel, right?
You've heard of it, Sae?
It's really interesting.
I can't stop wondering how it will end.
Sorry, I'm gonna go back to reading.
Take care on your way home, okay?
Goodbye, Miss Yoshinoya.
Goodbye.
A phone novel, huh?
I've never read one of those.
Sorry, I really took things the wrong way.
No, it's my fault for saying that at lunch.
I'm glad we know what it is now.
I haven't read one either.
It must be a lot of work having a phone.
I guess.
If it's that interesting, then maybe I should read it, too?
There it is!
"Love is True".
The Lofty Sky, The Shady Trees perhaps?
If he isn't there, it all fades to grey.
Strolling side by side under the trees, sitting together on a bench.
I can still remember the night of my first kiss.
Could this be true love?
My heart pounding so hard I could collapse...
But you embraced me gently, Nao.
Hmm...
I don't get it.
Good night.

Experienced in Love
Hurry up, Yunocchi!
I'm not gonna have time to change!
Okay, set!
Let's run!
Yeah!
Catch me if you can!
Hold on, Miya!
We're gonna be late!
Come on, Miya...
Nazuna spotted!
Wow, yeah!
I wonder what she's doing?
Carrying around teaching materials?
So Nazuna is in charge of boxes?
In charge of boxes?
I wonder how Nazuna's doing in her classes?
Huh?
She's so reserved.
I don't even know what kind of people are in Gen Ed...
Well, it's Gen Ed, so I'm sure they're normal.
Normal people?
Yeah, like me!
Do you want to go to Sekaiya the day after tomorrow? I need more colors of gouache.
Yeah, me too...
Hey, Sae.
Isn't that Nazuna?
Nazuna?
Doesn't it seem a little tense between them?
Right, Sae?
Sae?
I saw Nazuna walking with a boy earlier!
I think she wanted him to help carry something heavy.
We saw them during recess, too.
The one in glasses?
No, he had a crew cut.
Hmm, I wonder.
Maybe Nazuna's popular with the boys?
Popular with the boys?
That's popular? I don't get it...
... Sae?
Why don't we go ask Norippe?
Yes, let's.
Popular with the boys? Dunno, maybe.
Our classes are on the same floor, so I see her a lot.
Sometimes she's with boys.
Lately she's been watering the flower beds.
One time there were three boys there.
And then another time, four ladybugs!
That's not quite what we meant, but it's still pretty amazing.
All right, let's go see Nazuna!
See her?
Nazuna, you here?
Coming!
There's something you need to tell us.
How about at least showing us?
Nazuna, have you ever gotten a love letter?
Um... In kindergarten...
Wow, she's an early bloomer!
Then have you ever shared a single ice cream cone with a boy?
Well... That was in kindergarten, too, I think.
An early bloomer!
When was the first time you ate green tea ice cream?
Well, that was in first grade...
Definitely an early bloomer!
What was that one supposed to mean?
Sorry to ask you so much.
We just saw you taking out the trash today, and thought you might be popular with the boys.
Huh? No way...
We saw you at recess, too.
Well, boys help me out from time to time, but...
Wow!
There's nothing to be amazed about!
I don't like it!
Really?
My curry is full of carrots...
What is she talking about?
When boys help me out, the girls they're usually friendly with get mad at me.
That happened a lot in elementary and middle school.
But I'm still grateful for their help, so I don't want to turn it down...
And then they get jealous?
It's not all bad, though, right?
That's right, I'm sure there are good things about it.
Carrot
I guess I can eat my carrots.
Maybe she's more optimistic than we thought?
It's still strange. Why you, Nazuna?
You're not anything like what I'd imagine a popular girl to be.
I'm thinking a bright, energetic personality, loads of talent, and a little ditziness, with a nice style, you know?
What?
That was an interesting conversation.
It was pretty random.
Nazuna!
Are you going to sneeze? Hold it in!
No wonder they can't leave her alone...
Sorry to stay so long!
No problem, come again.
See you next week!
Next week?
Good night.
Nori, do you have a minute?
Oh, are you angry about before?
You know, when I said you weren't like what I imagined a popular girl to be...
Oh, so that's how you solve it?
I thought a girl in Gen Ed would be better at studying than me.
Nori, you can draw and study. You're great.
Aww, come on.
Well, if there's anything I can help you with, just ask.
Really? Thanks!
Good morning.
Good morning. ... Huh?
What did you do with your hair, Miss Yoshinoya?
Didn't you know, Miss Kuwahara?
This is the hot new hairstyle!
Hot?
It's hot.
Where did she hear about that?

Next-Ep Preview
"May 3rd~4th A Day in Seven Parts"
Let me introduce my new friends.
Yuno
Nori
Na
Yoohoo! I'm the one and only Miyakonosuke!
What are you doing all of a sudden, Miya!?
Maybe she wants to hear a story about kabuki?
I'm Nori.
I'm Nazuna...
Nori.
Nazuna
"If you're far away, listen up! if you're near me, watch this!", huh?
You've got to say that right after you introduce yourself.
Nazuna doesn't seem very stable. by Artist A
(The drawings...)
Ah...
Yuno
Nori
Na
But starting got me too hungry.
It must be tough to be you, Miyako.
Next time, "May 3rd~4th A Day in Seven Parts".
Not like she could be drawn like this!
Right?
Yuno ...
We'll be waiting at Hidamari Apartments. Be sure to come see us!
