Oh, nice shot!
Hey.
Oh, how interesting. Let's see you take a shot!
Why did you dodge that?!
I forgot to put on my gloves.
Dude, can't you do something about your germaphobia?!
Is there anything you can touch with your bare hands?!
Kirishima-kun, I'm borrowing your ball.
Odagiri!
It's Odagiri.
As pretty as ever today.
Mio-chan!
Odagiri is a popular girl and a starter on the girls' basketball team.
However...
...she rarely gets it in the basket.

Odagiri-san Can't Get It In
Wow, you're so good!
Kirishima-kun!
You're on the basketball team, so don't let him outshine you.
Good luck!
Right!
Mio-chan!
Where did you all come from? Those words of encouragement were for me!
Are you some kind of one-man shooting machine?!
Aoyama-kun, you're amazing!
How are you so good at shooting when you play soccer, not basketball?
Feeling.
"Feeling"?
But it must be harder to feel the ball with gloves on! Amazing!
I'm actually really bad at shooting.
Hey, can I call you "master"?
I want to steal your technique!
She's with Aoyama... So annoying.
Odagiri, it's our turn now.
Coming.
Later, master!
Hey, Aoyama. Not even you can do this.
Don't you dare...
...try to steal the march on us!
You're too close.
You're such a weirdo.
Listen, Class 1-3's Odagiri Mio has the best figure among first-year girls
and the cutest looks to go with it!
For all us freshmen boys, she's the girl of our dreams!
She's a starter on the basketball team already,
and during practice, the sweet scent of her shampoo fills the gym!
She's cheerful and has a great temperament.
And she eats heartily, too!
And last but not least,
that smile!
It's the best!
For us, Odagiri is...
...an idol we can be around at school!
Mio-chan!
Boys, what are you doing? You're playing a game next!
Divide into teams already!
You too, Aoyama!
You can clean after the game is over!
Aoyama-kun is good at basketball, too!
I don't get how he can even do PE...
Observer (feigning illness)
Match 2 for the girls is about to start.
Let's all cheer for Odagiri!
Good luck!
Odagiri, do your best!
You can do it!
Look at the boys going gaga over her just because she's got a decent face.
Yeah.
Besides, I don't know how anybody can think a girl that big is cute.
You can say that again.
Talk about an attitude problem...
Odagiri, don't let them get to you.
Oh crap, have you all noticed how much bigger they've gotten lately?
Boing!
That's not what they were talking about!
Don't lose, Odagiri!
Stupid boys.
What?!
What a move!
I told you. Odagiri's a starter on the girls' team!
On top of her perfect physique, her athletic ability is top notch, too!
Except...
There! Now, maybe? How about this?
She can't shoot the ball to save her life.
What's this? She's just tall. She sucks at shooting!
So close!
It was nowhere near! How stupidly optimistic can you get?!
She really can't score, huh?
But I hear she stays after practice to train.
Well, everyone's got their strengths and weaknesses.
Here!
Okay!
Yamakawa and Shiratori aren't even on the basketball team, but they're pretty good.
Nice!
Yay!
Right now, we're too busy working part-time to be part of any clubs.
Welcome.
But we played basketball all the way through middle school!
Yamakawa-san!
Yamakawa takes a mid-range jumper!
Odagiri's doing her best, but this match might be a tough one.
Sorry, Odagiri. We're holding you back.
It's totally fine! We're just getting started!
The next one's going in!
You missed again!
Who's the one holding the team back exactly?
Odagiri, don't worry about it. Just keep on shooting!
Lucky! My ball! My ball!
I won't let you!
Odagiri!
Mio-chan, are you okay?!
Ow. I guess I couldn't reach it, after all.
If only you could shoot...
At this rate, your place in the starting lineup might be at risk.
Master?
What should I do?
What do I need to make them go in?
You wish there was a quick fix...
What's with the silence?
You're staring way too hard.
Feeling.
That's the same thing you said earlier!
Feeling. Feeling.
Odagiri, are you okay?
Y-Yes! I'm fine!
Kanna!
Okay!
She cut it out!
Wow!
A fast break from Odagiri!
Oh, crap!
It's fine. She'll miss for sure!
Let's get the rebound.
Don't tell me...
"Feeling."
You mean I should listen to my instincts,
reach for the basket,
and dunk it in, right?
Go!
Master!
I did it!
No, you didn't!
That was Aoyama's doing!
Master, I did it! That was what you meant, right?
Nice shot, Mio-chan!
That doesn't count, obviously!
Aoyama really is something else.
And it's like he turned it up another notch for the last five minutes!
Aoyama, if you're a man, ram them with your body!
That would be a foul, sir.
Never letting anyone touch him... That's Aoyama-kun, all right.
Nice shot!
Aoyama! That's the part where you high five!
Join in the celebrations!
That's right!
No, thank you.
Oh! Mio-chan!
Th-This is it! The power of "feeling"!
A slam dunk from Odagiri!
Amazing, Odagiri!
I got it in!
Good for you.
Master, did you see that?
I think I'm starting to get it!
This is all thanks to your tutelage!
I didn't actually do anything.
Come on, now.
You're being too humble.
Odagiri, did you just touch Aoyama?
Hey, don't go randomly touching Aoyama! Can't you see how much he hates it?!
What? Really?
Master, I'm sorry.
What? You're fine?!
Could it be that you're...
...fine with touching now?
No, you're the same as always.
Then, what's changed?
Only Odagiri's allowed to touch?
No way...
Is she special to him?
I-Is he in love with her?!
What's the meaning of this?
I just saw something good.
I just witnessed a huge scoop with my own eyes!
Keep this between us, but Aoyama...
Seriously?!
Is that true?
Super
Positive

We're Class 5!
I'm in Class 2, dammit
So you're Aoyama?!
They're the basketball team seniors.
I hope they're not here to beat up Aoyama!
If you make Odagiri cry, you will pay!
P-Please calm down. Class is about to start.
We'll be back!
This has totally blown up.
Aoyama and Odagiri, huh?
I hear Odagiri isn't against the idea, either.
The two most popular people in school might work well together.
Aoyama and Odagiri would be the ultimate couple?!
Team Aoyama + Moka
A lot of the girls are leaving early today...
Team Aoyama has been decimated.
I can't anymore.
It's over.
Hang in there.
This might be the end for us.
What, why?
I don't get it.
I had my own insignificance rubbed in my face.
G-Gotou-chan.
Why are you gorging yourself while crying?
L-Lately, my appetite's gone through the roof.

Hey, Aoyama.
So have you...
...held hands yet?
What was that sigh for?!
What's our next class?
Master!
Oh, look at the famous couple! So intense!
He left.
Well, of course he did, with all this ruckus.
Yeah, and then...
Ariga Sayaka.
Will you shake my hand?
What?
You want to shake hands? What?!
Well, if you insist.
There.
Stop making fun of me!
Someone help! Aoyama collapsed!
Why?
What are you doing?!
Someone go fetch a teacher!
Bam!
Champion!
Aoyama, you're next.
Never, ever.
You idiot. As if Aoyama would ever arm wrestle.
When you're as germaphobic as he is,
I bet there are lots of normal things you can't do.
Master!
I scored 30 points in my last match!
All of them by dunking.
I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
Don't praise me so much.
Ever the optimist, huh?
Odagiri Mio.
That's the first time you've said my name.
That last game was amazing.
Odagiri scored a lot of points.
She's been practicing dunks the entire time.
I'm glad.
What's going on?!
Aoyama, are you seriously okay with Odagiri?!
Ready! Go!
Wait, so you actually wanted to arm wrestle?!
The desk is off-limits, but Odagiri's fine?
Doesn't that mean...
Odagiri, those huge things are loose!
Cover up!
Get a clue, girl!
Wait, what? Things were just getting good!
I can just fix it later.
That's not the issue.
Let's go.
Bye, Master!
Aoyama!
Thanks, dude.
Yum.
I'm so hungry.
I can't believe I forgot my lunch.
Master?
Is this lunch for me?
Yes.
But in return, will you make a lunch for me tomorrow?
What?
Are these two...
...seriously...
...dating?!
Hey! What's going on here?
Master's lunch is so good...
Listen, will you?!
I must repay this debt in full tomorrow!
Seriously?
Don't push!
That's the principal's office.
Does he always eat here?
Since I'm forever in your debt, I've poured my heart into this lunch!
It's huge.
Do you really think you can eat something someone else has made?
Hold it right there!
We told you, no stealing the march!
I want to eat Odagiri's food, too!
Me, too!
So do you always eat in here?
Yes.
I heard you were allowed to eat in here because you clean the room.
This guy's trying to keep Odagiri all to himself.
Odagiri Mio...
Will you come watch our match this Sunday?
I didn't know Aoyama was that aggressive.
He's bold.
I see this as a declaration of war.
What will Odagiri say?
I will! I'll do my best to learn!
Are they meshing? Or aren't they?
Are they just showing off?!
All right, quest complete!
Yay!
San-chan, you seem down.
Aoi Sanmyaku, it looks like you're having troubles of the heart.
You're easy to read. You yearn for human contact.
That's not it.
What isn't? Just so you know, love is life's biggest waste of time.
All we should strive for is all-encompassing
cleanliness.
No! That's not it at all!
It's not love or anything like that!
I just don't know why I was okay with being touched!
"Touched"? What's he talking about?
Who knows.
I guess if he's that insistent, I'll believe him.
But, uh, he's getting stronger and stronger.
Clean, clean, A-o-ya-ma...
Master's doing his best, Yuu-chan!
Odagiri, doesn't him asking you to watch his match mean he likes you?
Master!
Fujimi High School takes the lead. As expected, he's the scorer!
Master? And me?
What's he doing?
I see.
Aoyama-kun has always wanted to do all these things.
Why don't you just date already?
What? You're not dating yet?
I thought you two were all lovey-dovey!
Uh, not really.
What? Seriously?!
You're not dating?
You're not all lovey-dovey?
Oh, so they're not dating.
Hm...
I have to spread this right away.
Aoyama's not dating her, apparently.
Aoyama's not dating her
I'm so relieved
I believed!
I'll cheer extra hard now~
They weren't being lovey-dovey, after all!!
Now that we know that, let's make some noise!
One, two!
Clean, clean, Aoyama!
Hey, Gotou, are you okay?
Clean, clean, Aoyama!
I don't know if there are any romantic feelings there.
But...
Maybe Aoyama-kun's just doing everything he wants to do but can't with Odagiri-san.
Aoyama-kun! The fact you were dying to do a high five is just...
Aoyama Life
...too cute!
It's too much!
Cleaning, cleaning.
I love you.
