Does your dad like to read books?
NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND
COMPLETE COLLECTION OF RYUNOSUKE AKUTAGAWA
Yup.
Apparently, he likes a certain kind of literature.
LITERATURE COLLECTION
I think he meant pure literature.
Oh, isn't that Akira?
Aren't you gonna say hi?
Come to think of it, you haven't talked about her in a while.
-You got in a fight with her? -No.
By the way, don't talk to your older sister like that.
Then let's say hi.
-Hey! -Akira!
Thanks for waiting! The restroom was so crowded.
I thought so.
-Are you going to buy something? -Nope.
-Let's go have tea somewhere. -Sure.
Oh, she wasn't here alone.
The line was so long that I thought I would wet myself for the first time in ages.
In ages?
Let's go.
After school, shoe cupboard, resonating sound of rain
My shirt gets wet as I run out with no umbrella
You’re out of my league
I wish I was the rain... so I could easily feel you
Let me touch you...
One, don’t treat me like a child
Two, it’s even worse to play it off by being nice
I love you （can you hear me?）
I love you
Right now, I can jump over the puddle
After the rain, I caught your eye as a rainbow appeared
You’re so indifferent to romance... That’s why!
Raindrops sparkle against the blue summer sky
Lulu lala I’m in love
After the rain...
Right now, I have no doubts
I need no umbrella
FINE RAIN
YOKOHAMA MUNICIPAL SAKURAFUJI JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
You're going to transfer to another school, Haruka?
Yeah, it's not far from here, though.
-Where is it? -Shinsugita.
Why don't you just commute from there?
It's only a year and a half till graduation.
That's what I thought too.
But my dad said I can't commute by train while I'm still in junior high.
I see.
We'll be in different schools for this year's tournament.
Akira, you want to go to Kazamizawa High School, right?
Yup. You too, right?
Yup. We'll be apart for a while, but we'll be together again, right?
Ready?
REMEDIAL WORKSHEET AKIRA TACHIBANA
Oh, this is really cute!
-You're so lucky! -I'm so jealous!
I might be able to make a new record with this.
Don't be silly!
ICE CREAM
The train is arriving at Track 3.
Please stand behind the yellow line.
HEY, AKIRA! YOU'RE WORKING TODAY, RIGHT?
HERE'S A PHOTO OF MR. KONDO SLIPPING HAHA

NOKENDAI STATION
I borrowed my sister's nail polish without asking her the other day,
-and she got really angry at me. -Seriously?
Oh, it's going to be a while before the next bus comes.
Seriously?
Hey, what's this weird-looking key chain?
What? You've never seen this before?
When you have Mukihiko, you can become closer to the person you like.
-No way! -It's true!
Kirara in class four got the seat next to Naoto when they changed their seats.
Kirara likes Naoto?
Well, don't tell anyone else.
I want one, too. Where did you buy it?
I got this from...
MARUMI KEY CHAIN!
5 DIFFERENT TYPES IN TOTAL PLUS A SECRET CHARACTER
Akira.
How many times are you going to do that?
KAZAMIZAWA HIGH SCHOOL
I mean, what are you going to do with all those key chains?
Did you get all of them?
I didn't get the secret character.
I have more than one of each, so, I'll give them to you.
What?
Thanks.
Um...
-What? -Stop requested.
Oh, never mind.
Which remedial class are you here for?
Modern Japanese. See you later.
Good luck with your practice.
What? Oh, thanks.
There should be enough time to practice one more time.
Wait!
Akira!
I can't run anymore.
Sis! Wait!
-You're too fast! -Sorry.
Why do you always run ahead without waiting for me?
What? Because it feels good.
When I'm running, the only thing I hear is the sound of the wind,
and it feels like I'm melting into the sky.
Well, I think I kind of know what you mean...
-You were right! -Wait!
Akira!
Look up!
Catch this!
Wait...
OUR FRIENDSHIP ISN'T JUST ABOUT TRACK AND FIELD, RIGHT? HARUKA
We'll be apart for a while, but we'll be together again, right?
SOSEKI NATSUME
Oh? Oh, yeah. Your house is near here...
Oh. I'm sorry.
He's wearing glasses.
I actually come here quite often.
I don't live in this city. So, I can't borrow any books from here.
Are you here to do your homework, Tachibana?
Oh. I came here...
to find some books.
Pure literature ones.
What? You like pure literature, too?
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
-I'll never shout again. -Uh, um...
Are there any books you recommend?
Something that you think I should definitely read.
Um...
You don't usually read that much?
I don't.
People shouldn't read books just because it was recommended by someone.
Especially people who aren't used to reading.
FRIENDSHIP
If that person happens to not like that book,
it becomes a pain for them to keep on reading it.
And then they would come to hate reading.
And you came to the library even though you don't usually read books.
Maybe that's because there's a book calling out for you, Tachibana.
That book may be the one necessary for you now.
Luckily, this is the biggest library in Yokohama.
It's literally a sea of books.
They have everything here.
Maybe I should have asked him differently.
I AM A CAT POEMS BY NATSUME
I just wanted to know which books Mr. Kondo likes.
A sea of books.
It's more like an aquarium than a sea.
SPORTS
BOTCHAN
I want to know more about you.
Huh?
Are there any books you recommend?
Did she maybe...?
No way.
I'm being overconfident of myself. There's no way...
PHOTO BOOKS
I wonder if photo books count as reading.
Tachibana.
-I'm going home soon. -I'll head out with you then.
Did you find something?
I got Botchan by Soseki Natsume, and a photo book.
Oh, Botchan. Nice.
Would you like to read something, Mr. Kondo?
YOKOHAMA CITY LIBRARY CARD
-I can borrow it for you. -Really?
Then, I'll take you up on that.
WINDOW BY THE WAVE
-Do you want to borrow that book? -Oh, yeah.
I'd like to borrow these.
-Will that be three books in total? -Yes.
Okay. The lending period is two weeks.
Please return them to the counter over here.
Here you go.
Thanks for the book.
WINDOW BY THE WAVE CHIHIRO KUJO
Maybe I was the one who was called there.
Chihiro...
Maybe that's because there's a book that's calling out for you, Tachibana.
That book may be the one necessary for you now.
Raining One summer afternoon in a rain shower
Under the umbrella Kissing
I kissed gently on your wet cheek
I’m still longing for that season
I’m so distracted that I keep daydreaming
Nothing but you’re the part of me
It’s still not enough It still hasn’t gone away
Innocence of our stacked hands
What a good thing we lose?
What a bad thing we knew
In the rain, I get soaked in those phrases
It’s just not enough
I still can’t say goodbye To the days I dreamed of counting down
What a good thing we lose?
What a bad thing we knew
If I hadn’t touched you, would I be smiling？
