C-c'mon, Izumi's been popular with the cute, fashionable girls since middle school,
but he's never had a girlfriend.
Suga-
Follow me.
Huh?
When I give the signal, help me out by saying this:
Saying what?
What?!
Ai kara umareta issatsu no hon ni wa
Mada kakareteinai koi to iu hitomoji
Why does everyone want to know about it?
What's so wonderful about it?
Did you want to know about it, too?
Would I not have known you if I hadn't learned about it?
I don't want it to be like this!
Taikutsu na juugo peeji datta

Episode 2: Es Ee Ecks
M-man, talking with you face-to-face is a dream come true.
Wh-what?
Collecting information. Just in case something happens.
C-collecting information?
You wanted a hook-up, right?
Oh, don't get the wrong idea.
I've gotta take on three guys at once after this.
Wait, three?!
Hey, over here!
So how about her instead of me?
She's the biggest slut in our little group...
Hey, been a hot minute. Sit down.
So how was that guy you hooked up with the other day?
Huh?
My crotch...
My crotch is so itchy!
Was that good enough?
Yeah, it scared him off. Thanks.
You were like a totally different person, Miss Sugawara.
I used to be part of a youth acting group back in my hometown.
I don't mean to brag, but I am pretty cute. I'm good-looking.
R-right.
So I always get a lot of strangers looking at me in a sexual way, like that guy back there.
It's been happening to me since I was a kid.
So someone in the acting group taught me how to deal with those people.
She even wrote me that script I used.
So I gotta say, I have an STD, that cool?
Tell you what, I'll give you a discount. Half off, so 30,000 yen, that good?
All the while, Niina furiously scratches her crotch.
In some cases, the target's sexual desire may be undeterred by the mention of disease.
The best way to handle that is to get a friend to help.
Execute as follows:
Oh, I'm gonna hook you up with my friend instead.
She's the biggest slut in our little group.
Oh, here she is.
My crotch is so itchy!
So I'm "Friend A"...
I don't have much longer.
Huh?
That's what she told me.
My charms are ephemeral, delicate, and precarious...
because they come from my girlish looks.
That's why men are going to start approaching me, harboring their own fantasies about who I am.
After all, men decide on your personality just by the way you look.
Niina, the young girl, is going to die soon.
I'm going to die soon.
So you meant...
My crotch is so freakin' itchy!
I bet it sounds realistic if you say it like it's no big deal.
See you later.
Yeah, later...
I'm back.
Welcome home.
Where's Mom?
Oh, right, she's at Hawaiian Quilting tonight.
Yeah, I figured we'd just order pizza.
Feeling any particular place?
Dad... um...
S-so I've got a question about guys...
When guys...
Kazusa.
Izumi?!
I called him over.
What do you guys want?
Want to do half and half? If we get two pizzas, we can get four different toppings...
Kazusa, we gotta talk!
Huh?!
Hey, what do you want?
Izumi! H-hey!
Kazusa...
Were you just about to ask your Dad about... that?
What?
O-of course not!
I just wanted to ask him what it is about a girl that makes a guy like her...
Why do you want to know that?
Just... because.
S-sorry!
I thought if I hit your head hard enough you might forget about it...
Wha-?!
Could you forget it happened?
Yeah! I'll try real hard to forget it! Yep yep!
But you're avoiding me...
I mean, I am a guy, so, you know...
Right, it's just a thing you guys do.
I read about it in a book.
You read it in a book, huh...
Sorry. That's all.
Hey, I'm actually gonna head out.
I've been the one freaking out about it... But... Aww, c'mon, let's get pizza!
I was the one in the wrong.
I bet he was way more embarrassed about it than I was...
I mean, if he walked in on me...
Which part should I cover?
Right now, I want to cover my face...
Shake hands, please!
Yay!
I acted immaturely.
I went too far with things.
Let's agree that sex-
Stop! Let's agree that sex-
Can we please stop referring to that act as "sex"?
Huh?
We can use copulation, coitus, intercourse...
there are all manner of literary expressions.
Uh-huh...
But the English word? That is out!
It's far too direct, too emotionless, too raw!
But there are a lot of books that have "sex" in the title.
No excuses! But there are a lot of books that have "sex" in the title.
No excuses!
Excuses?
That was an excuse? Excuses?
That was an excuse?
However, topics relating to sex are inevitable in the course of our literary discussions.
As such, we will come up with a word to be used in its place for the sake of our discussions.
Each member will come up with three!
What?!
Fine, ten!
That's more!
End of discussion!
Let's get ready for our reading.
Okay.
"The frogs that slumbered through the winter underground emerge in spring."
Oh, man, I can't think of anything! "On that first day, they raise their voices in song."
Well, we do have a future author in our club.
"O, how bright. O, how joyful."
I bet she'll think of something. "O, how bright. O, how joyful."
It's just missing that realism.
Uh-huh.
Give it a little more effort.
This "high school girl writing erotica" thing is definitely gonna be a hit.
Uh-huh.
Oh, but it can't be all sex, of course.
Just something erotic! It's gotta make 'em feel something, else it's just porn.
Uh-huh.
Not much of a reaction from you, huh.
You think so?
My projects are all about soul, you know?
I could go with another girl, too.
We've got a lot of cute high school girls bringing us manuscripts,
and swinging by in person would definitely improve your chances.
Give it another go! Later.
Hongo-san? The roof is off-limits.
Also, it's almost time to-
Piss off.
What?
Oh, nothing...
Take your time.
So we got in his car...
Man, dating a college guy must rock!
Please, we weren't about to WALK into a love hotel.
Okay, next!
Going!
Those copulation-crazed buffoons!
Are you okay, Sonezaki-san?
Wait, Sonezaki, did you just break your hymen?
Sonezaki-san?!
Crap... I'd feel really bad for her if she did.
Huh?
I don't know how to check...
Those filthy girls! What kind of joke is that?!
Really, my hymen?!
Please! Who cares about...
I won't be bothered by the chidings of lascivious beasts!
I...
Sonezaki-san!
Hey!
Amagi!
Class is still going on. What are you doing?
I-I could ask the same of you!
I scraped my knee, see?
Figured I'd rinse it off.
Wh-what?!
Yes, I knew it!
Huh?!
Sonezaki-san, you really are cute.
You kind of look like Erika.
You know, that model who's in that cold medicine commercial.
Don't look, you brute!
Get out of here! Disappear! Begone!
Hey!
You know something, Sonezaki-san?
What?!
If someone saw us, they'd definitely think we were flirting with each other.

OTHER WORDS FOR sex Under The C Seed Sowing Holey War
This is turning into a presentation on dirty puns.
What about "success"?
Success, suck-sex.
Six
A number, an article of clothing, and a woodwind instrument?
Socks
Sax
I just tried using all the vowels...
Those are yours?
Under The C Seed Sowing Holey War Getting Speared Six Socks Sax
These won't do!
Do you have any ideas, then, Sonezaki-senpai?
Me?
I do, actually...
Suffering
Erotic Experience
The Suffering of Erotic Experience
Wow, it sounds really literary!
Isn't that a bit long?
Oh, we could make it an acronym!
Yes, that's a good idea.
Suffering
That's an S for "Suffering,"
Erotic
an E for "Erotic",
then for "Experience"...
Experience
Let's just use "X"!
The formidable pitfall of sex.
Unbelievable!
It invaded the inner workings of my mind without my noticing!
I swear, that boy!
What boy?
Come up with ten more for tomorrow.
What?!
Fine, five.
That's less.
I wonder why she asked for less.
Maybe her own idea turning into "sex" was a shock to her system.
What's going on there?
They're acting like she's going to ask him out...
Ask him out?!
Hey! K-Kazusa, where are you going?!
It's- Izumi's mom!
Izumi's mom is really busy right now,
so I've gotta watch over him!
I don't think most moms would go watch their son get asked out!
But I...
I'll go make it so you can watch.
As thanks for having an STD for me.
Having a what?!
Sorry.
I've never thought of you in that way, Asada-san.
He turned her down.
Y-yeah.
Then there's someone else you like?
Well, no...
Huh?
Then could you think about it for me?
Think about me... that way.
Yeah, but...
You don't have to answer right away.
I mean, I've liked you for a really, really long time.
I'll wait for you forever!
Okay, I will.
K-Kazusa?
What are you doing?
Huh?
I forgot to run away.
The director in me couldn't stop filming.
Wait, Kazusa!
Kazusa!
It's not Miss Sugawara's fault!
Did you...
Do you like her?!
Huh?
Wait, were you...
Yeah.
You didn't turn her down!
Uh, no, I did!
You didn't tell her no!
It'd be one thing if I did have someone I liked...
But I don't, so I figured it'd be mean to turn her down...
What the hell?!
So what, if you don't have someone you like, you just go out with anyone?!
Kazusa, calm down!
That's not it!
Well, then...
Is it...
Because you...
w-want to do that with them, then?
Do WHAT with them?
Have...
S...
Es-ee-ecks!
Esee?
Huh?
Kazusa!
Wait, what?
Hey!
What the hell is "esee-ecks"?
Esee...
S...
E...
She ran off...
I've never seen her like that before.
Yeah, she got real intense.
Yeah.
But...
I'm glad she did.
Yeah.
es-ee-ecks
Es-ee-ecks.
Incredible!
Th-thanks.
es-ee-ecks
Modulating the way the word is read is so fancy, and it captures the intended meaning as well!
It's just as my "Suffering of Erotic Experience" implies,
we must somewhat suffer the word itself!
So that means...
Yes, this is it!
Henceforth, we will call... sex... "es-ee-ecks"!
I don't think so.
Huh?!
Th-the principal?!
I'm here to deliver a message.
Given what's happened this month,
the Literature Club is to be dissolved.
B-but why?!
This is tyranny! Explain why, please, right this instant!
Goodness, you're asking us for an explanation with all this on the board?
Look at this. Absolutely disgraceful.
No! You see, we were actually trying to avoid such disgraceful topics,
and find a more literary-friendly phrase to use in its stead!
We've received complaints about your club.
Complaints about your loud reading of vulgar material bothering other people.
V-vulgar...
It's literature! It's fine art!
Well, I suppose that is true in some cases...
But the biggest problem you girls have...
Your club has never had an advisor, has it?
Is the club going to be dissolved?
Apparently there aren't any teachers who want to be the advisor for the Literature Club.
This is discrimination. Persecution, even.
They're bullying us!
If I didn't have the Literature Club, I'd...
Kazusa?
I don't know what I'd do.
I mean, literature's always helped me, and everyone here has, too.
Kazusa, you don't have to say that...
I love the Literature Club, too.
Miss Sugawara...
I feel like I don't have to exert myself here. I can be myself.
Or more like, I can exist here without thinking about who I am.
I feel the same way!
Girls...
Kazusa.
Your beautiful, noble love for literature has touched me.
So please, don't cry.
Sonezaki-senpai...
In that case, we'll find a new advisor for the Literature Club!
We'll do anything it takes!
Yeah!
Hey, Kazusa...
it's gonna be okay.
It's not that.
Huh?
It's 'cause she told me not to cry.
I don't want to cry, but the tears just keep coming out.
Oh, I get that. Once you realize you're crying, you can't stop.
Yeah, so don't worry about me.
I might be crying, but I'm having positive thoughts about the Literature Club.
The Literature Club?
Huh?
The Literature Club isn't the only reason you're crying, is it?
There's another reason you're crying.
Miss Sugawara!
A storm is raging in your heart.
Yeah. I've never felt this before...
I'm so full of emotion, and now I'm getting hit with this mess...
You know, I felt kind of bad for Norimoto-kun yesterday.
Huh?
Guys don't rely on their intuition like us girls do.
They have to take time to digest their feelings.
Wow.
How do you know so much about the way guys think?
It's all thanks to the Soyokaze Theater Troupe.
You're right.
Kazusa?
The Izumi I know wouldn't go out with a girl he didn't like, or have-
Es-ee-ecks.
Or have "es-ee-ecks." He could never do anything like that.
But...
Hey, who do you want to do it with, Kazusa?
I-I don't want to do it at all!
Fine then, if you had to do it with someone or the Earth was going to blow up, who'd you pick?
M-Miss Sugawara! What kind of crazy question is that?!
Izumi.
Huh?
If I had to pick someone, I'd pick Izumi.
That means you like Norimoto-kun, doesn't it?
K-Kazusa?
I like...
H-hey, Kazusa?
I like Izumi.
H-hey, what's wrong, Kazusa?
C'mon, Miss Sugawara...
She's having an epiphany.
What?!
Oh, no...
I'm in love with Izumi...
Kazusa, are you okay?
Kazusa?
I'm in love with him...

Th-that trickster fairy!
You recorded it, didn't you?
You're blackmailing me? That's low...
I wonder if Izumi's into that...
Emotions and sexual attraction are two separate things.
Oh God, I can't take it anymore.
We have to stay determined and fight!
Please!

O, to be a daisy. Tough kids drink Milo?
