Have you had nights when you can't fall asleep?
Didn't anyone's face appear in your mind?
Unforgettable memories and uncontrollable emotion.
Open the twelve doors named "bitter sweet feelings."
Before I shut my heart...
Sentimental Journey
Before the secret memories for just the two of us disappear...
When we were both little...
...we could understand each other without a word.
That was the time when...
...we could believe in angels.
When you told me that you would break up with me...
...I couldn't look at you.
Please, come and see me.
I want to see your smile.
Please, don't forget your kindness.
Before I shut my heart...
Before the secret memories for just the two of us disappear...
A Story of 12 Girls in 12 Cities
Move this to the right place.
Hey, hand me the nails that are behind you?
Hey, are you really pushing?
Yeah, I am.
O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?
Juliet!
And action!
I'm gonna beat you up!
The 72nd Aogaki Festival
Don't go over the edge!
It's the Aogaki Festival!
Episode 11: Semi-sweet Triangle It's your biggest love chance, Chigusa!
Episode 11: Semi-sweet Triangle
It's illogical, Tae.
How come?
Because there's no relationship between my love and the Aogaki Festival.
Hey, what? Tae!
Tae...
Read this.
Do you carry this with you all the time?
It's a must read comic for all girls, a must!
Read page 126.
How is it?
A little bit to the left.
You've finished most of them.
Makoto, can you hold this board?
Okay.
I love his eyes when he's serious...
If I don't turn my feelings into words, he'll never notice them.
So the school festival means a chance for love!
The writer of the comic says that...
...an extraordinary situation increases the expectation of love.
Because it's a comic.
No! Don't be so naive.
"You're only young once so try anything," Tolstoy said.
You're making it up.
Hey, Taeko!
You're bullying Chigusa again?
Don't hit me with the hard part of your book!
I matched this with the hardness of your head.
What did you say? You've been a bonehead for long time.
Only when you're around me.
What did you just say?
Hey hey. Don't start a lovers' tiff in public.
You guys are the hottest item as usual.
How many times must I say this? We're not an item!
Yeah. I haven't been able to cut her off until now.
Why did you guys select us to be the class officers for the festival?
Yeah, it's the worst thing you guys did!
But you guys have been in the same class since the 5th grade.
It means you guys must get married.
Yeah, that's right.
Stop it!
So, Tetsuro and Taeko, have you organized the drinks...
...and got permission from the public health department?
We're working on them!
Sorry for calling him mean.
It just slipped out of my mouth.
Never mind.
I even like his mean look.
OK.
But even if I try harder, I don't think it's gonna work out.
Again? Why do you think that way?
Because...
I have an idea.
Tomorrow he and I will have a budget meeting at my house.
You should help us out, Chigusa.
How can I help you?
It's just an excuse.
I'll leave you guys alone.
Good luck!
I don't know what to do...
Do whatever you want.
You drop an eraser and try to pick it up...
You touch his hands by chance and you go like, "Oh no."
Or drop your contact lens and look for it...
...and go like, "Oops sorry."
Don't talk about comics.
How did you know it's from a comic?
Here.
Look, in this comic, characters even do this.
So everything is gonna be all right.
What you say is totally illogical.
That was what you said...
But you came here. Huh?
Because...
Don't worry. I'm kidding.
Since you came here, do your best!
Now we have Chigusa Kudo!
Good morning.
Hey.
Have a seat here.
I feel sorry for you.
Taeko dragged you over here.
Oh, no.
Hold it, Taeko.
I'm doing this for Chigusa.
I'll go and get something to drink.
Ah.
It's better to stay here longer.
What's the matter, Tetsuro?
Going to the bathroom.
What? Again?
Don't be nosey.
Don't try to advise me about the number of times I go to the bathroom.
Because...
I wanted them to be alone.
Don't bother me.
No, let me do this.
I'll serve tea. You should sit sown there.
Why are you...
Well, be careful...
You have other things to do!
What are you doing?
It's your fault!
Adachi Liquor Store
Sorry.
Things didn't go as well as I planned today.
Never mind.
Did you talk a lot with him on the way home?
He just said, "Bye" when we were apart.
And "Thank you".
He doesn't know how to treat a girl.
I realized I have no chance.
No, don't think that way.
Because he wasn't looking to have fun with me...
That's because he was nervous because you're cute.
Really?
I think he's already got someone on his mind.
No, that's absolutely impossible.
I've known him a long time but there's never been anyone around him.
Um, I think I'm right on this.
That doesn't sound like you.
You're being illogical.
That's true.
Don't worry. It's gonna be okay.
I'm on your side.
Let's make a plan about this tomorrow. Okay?
Okay.
See you tomorrow.
Mom, about the drinks for our class cafe during the festival...
I'll record the drinks under household consumption, take as much as you want!
You don't have to do that.
Our business is tough because of mini mart and whole-sale stores.
Actually, you're right.
So I'll sell them at the regular price.
Oh, give me 20% off at least.
I'll give you 40% off.
Thank you.
Let me work as a sales person for the regular clients.
By the way, I heard about Mr. Sasaki.
What?
What about Tetsuro's family?
They're moving away.
Aomori Tourism Association
I don't know the details. They've decided all of a sudden.
On Monday the week after next...
That's the day after the Aogaki Festival!
Is that so?
No, it can't be.
What?
Something has to be done.
For Rent
Dear Taeko, I'm sorry.
Oh, so I'll never see him again?
Yeah, I guess so.
I see.
Chigusa!
Why don't you knit a sweater? Yeah, it's a good idea.
So you can give it to him at the party after the festival.
Then, confess your love for him!
Tae...
Will you teach me how to knit?
Yeah, let's do it!
Chigusa will confess her love
You put your finger here.
Yeah, yeah, like that.
Hey, Taeko!
You should give us a hand at least!
Sorry. I mean it.
Huh!
Do you want me to knit that part?
No.
It's meaningless, if I let someone else knit this.
I'll do my best.
Even if it's you that Tetsuro has a crush on.
What did you say?
Oh, well, it's just my guess.
Don't be silly.
Don't you know how we talk, Chigusa?
But...
You're the only girl who Tetsuro calls by her first name.
Kenichi.
Hey you!
Stop the nonsense. It's a typical story for a comic.
Good night.
Aya!
The hero calls only the heroine by her first name...
He's always loved her since childhood.
When she finally realizes his love for her...
It's just a comic.
Tetsuro is just my No. 2 friend from childhood.
My love is for...
Here you go!
Ha.
Taeko Adachi loves...
You fool.
We were always fighting.
But in time I had feelings for him.
I must be a little nuts, but I can't forget him.
Hey, I've been looking for you.
Oh, dear Tetsuro.
Dear?
Do you have a fever?
I don't!
I don't have a fever!
Anyway, the cost for printing the brochure will be higher than we estimated.
So the class festival officers must find funding sponsors.
What?
Yeah, I know how you feel.
You and I will do that?
I know I don't want to do this.
So I'll see you after class.
Of course, this means nothing special because I don't care about him.
Please, come with me!
Sorry.
Today I have to help out the Chemistry club.
You know, I haven't helped them because of this.
I see.
But I guess it won't take long, so I can catch you guys later.
Great!
Let's meet up in Aomori Park at five.
She asked this because I told her my stupid guess.
Phew.
What's the matter with you?
Usually it's you who drags me around everywhere.
You're weird.
Tetsuro.
Is there anyone you have a crush on?
What? What are you saying?
Just tell me!
It's rubbish.
It's important.
Yes.
Who is she?
Tell me who?
After all these years, I can't tell you now!
Even if it's you that Tetsuro has a crush on.
Oh, wait!
No, this is not what you think!
This is...
Chigusa!
The 72nd Aogaki Festival
Cafe Aogaki
Yes. Thank you!
Yes, we have cold drinks.
Hot drinks are over there.
Well, I'm...
I am...
I'm sorry. I don't think we can be more than just friends.
What?
Sorry.
Unlike the comics, nothing is working out in the real world.
How could you love me? You're stupid, Tetsuro.
Oh, tomorrow he'll move.
Chigusa...
What? Tetsuro went to Aomori station?
He got a call from Chigusa, too?
To Aomori Station
That's them.
Please give him the sweater, Chigusa.
You've pushed yourself so hard to finish it.
Tetsuro, you must accept her sweater!
Tetsuro!
Are you nuts?
Why didn't you accept her sweater?
Huh?
You stupid bonehead! Go and transfer to another school!
I have no crush on you!
What are you talking about?
Are you trying to pretend...
Stop, Taeko.
Chigusa?
You've got it wrong, Taeko.
What?
You fool. Who's going to transfer, huh?
But aren't you moving somewhere?
But I'm moving somewhere in the same neighborhood and I'm not transferring...
Oh, is that so?
Yeah, I heard it just now.
So I thought I'd still have time to make the sweater better.
So I can give him this on our first date.
What?
Sorry. My guess was totally wrong.
He's had a crush on me for a long time.
I could talk to you like I talk to my guy friends.
But with Kudo, I became nervous.
What? Is that the truth?
You guys, don't make me sweat!
You guys...
T-Tae...
I can't show you examples from the comic anymore.
Tetsuro!
W-What?
You take the initiative with everything like in guy's comics!
What is that?
You're illogical.
That's true.
Well, I wish I could find a boyfriend soon.
That's impossible.
Hey!
Let me finish the story with a good note at least!
On a holiday with lots of sunshine...
Let's go to the beach like we used to do.
The road that seems to continue into the sky...
Back then, I wasn't afraid of losing.
The ocean breeze is passing by and whispering to us.
Just keep on smiling Let's sing with a smile...
Tears shouldn't fill your eyes.
Just keep on smiling, be yourself and have a glow to your face.
Like a flower blooming on your face.
I like the white snow.
Because it melts eventually, but for now, it tries to shine at its best.
I want to leave my footprints in the fresh snow.
But I can't do anything, because I'm afraid I may break something.
