I met her that summer...
(Ginyuri - Masamune)
I'm an otomen who loves to cook and sew.
She appeared in front of me,
the one who had hidden my true self.
Are you okay?
Wait!
Miyakozuka-san.
Asuka-san.
This is a sacred kendo hall. All of you, take off your shoes!
What?!
Well then!
Damn...
If you get involved in any violence,
you won't be allowed to enter the next round of the All-Japan Kendo High or any other match.
You're playing dirty tricks!
Don't you feel ashamed doing something like this?
Asuka-san!
You...
Miyakozuka-san?
You're cute, Asuka-san.
When I see you, I...
...want to protect you.
She said she wanted to protect me.
I also fell in love with that girl
that summer...
(Autumn . 2009)
(10 days earlier)
Men!
Tsuki!
Kote men!
- Takeshi-san, hello.
- Hello.
Do!
Asuka's really into it.
There's only the two of them at this skill level.
Since Tonomine came here, they've grown.
This year's final match at the All-Japan Meet
might be between the two of them.
An All-Japan final between two of the same school?
That'd be great!
But team competition is just not for them.
It might be a hard fight.
Men!
Match over. The winner is Masamune Asuka!
At last, one month is left before the All-Japan Meet.
Sir. Yes, Sir!
In preparation of the meet,
I've decided to have a practice match with Doran High.
Doran High?
We haven't met them before.
They entered last year.
It's not too late for them.
Alright!
Finally, facing the All-Japan Meet,
I'll announce the regulars for the team competition.
Senpo:
[Note: senpo - first player]
Tonomine.
Yes.
I see.
We're venturing with Tonomine as senpo.
Being a senpo isn't bad.
Jiho:
[Note: jiho - second player]
Hashimoto.
Alright!
Hashimoto has worked really hard, and there has been some change.
- I recognize that.
- Chuken:
[Note: chuken - center]
Nakajima.
Yes!
Nakajima does have the face of a lucky boy, right?
Wait...
The fukusho will be me?
[Note: fukusho - fourth player]
Fukusho:
Tanaka.
Alright!
Yeah, Tanaka. Right, Tanaka...
- Tanaka?!
- Finally,
Taisho: Masamune!
[Note: taisho - fifth player]
Yes!
That will be all.
We'll go to the All-Japan Meet with these five members.
All-Japan will be hard.
The other members must stand together as well.
Our aim is to win All-Japan.
Sir. Yes, Sir!
Hey, what happened?
I didn't hear you, Isono!
Hey, Isono!
Look up.
This is not the end of your kendo life.
Don't tell me that.
My youth is over!
I've won against Hashimoto many times. Why is it him?
It's no good.
Isono won't trust others anymore.
Isono.
You're a reserve.
You never know when your match will be.
Continue practicing everyday.
Reserves don't have any value!
There's no meaning to it if I don't compete in a match.
Don't you know you're the weakest in this club?!
- That's right. You're the weakest.
- Yeah, you're right.
I can't go. I forgot I was weak.
What youth? Your life is long over.
I'll be a reserve...
That time he said he was aiming for Ginyuri's top, right?
Where's the top? He's never even come close to it.
Sorry, I've got another call. Okay!
Hello.
Emi-chan? Auntie's here.
There's something else bothering you?
Why do people climb mountains?
It's great that you could reach the sand hill's top!
What are you doing, sensei?
Well assembled.
(Gin-1 Grand Prix)
(Prize money, 1000 dollars)
Matsubara-kun, isn't it slanting a bit?
(Gin-1 Grand Prix Matsuri)
- Yeah. Bring the right side up a bit...
- Gin-1 Grand Prix.
- What's that?
Oh, right. It's the first time for Tonomine-kun and Ryo-chan.
(The one who rules laughter, rules Ginyuri)
Every year, in autumn,
there's this exciting stand-up comedy competition at the gym.
(Take the top, be a legend!)
That's Ginyuri's popular event, abbreviated as Gin-1.
Gin-1?
It's unusual, right?
No school in Japan holds a stand-up comedy contest.
Speaking of which, when did the first Gin-1 take place?
You're right.
It happened a really long time ago.
A legend created by a student was the start of Gin-1.
(Top)
[Note: The setting makes reference to the movie "Crows Zero"]
Actually, there was a time when Ginyuri was in a slump.
Two teams in Ginyuri were aiming for the top,
and fought every single day back then.
It worsened as time went by.
What more can you do?
Just be good boys and give it up.
What if we kill you people?
I wanted to say this once:
There is no difference whether we return or go on.
So,
shall we just go on?
One autumn day, a single student stood among them.
That student was weak and not the type to stand out.
An ordinary kid who was good at nothing.
But that student called the two groups to the gym.
When the brawl was about to start again,
that student suddenly started telling jokes.
Even amongst their stares, he continued with his gags.
A single, weak student, using only the power of laughter,
was able to bring together the school that was falling into ruin.
Laughter brought peace, not only to the school, but also to the surrounding society.
So the teachers started this event.
That's Gin-1.
I never thought it could be something so serious.
Well, it's an event with such a tradition.
So, to the students who are participating, aim for the top.
Listen up!
I have a question. How many will participate in Gin-1?
We'll be selecting the participants. Class representatives!
You're still putting the poster up?
Each class will even be putting up a refreshment booth.
It's a really big event, right?
It's Ginyuri's autumn event, instead of the school festival.
A lot of people will come.
It'll be great.
But still, putting me in charge of the kitchen...
What should I make for Ginyuri's popular event?
Don't worry.
I'll be helping out, so let's think of a delicious menu together.
Thank you.
- Come across with the money!
- Hey!
Hand over your wallet.
Give it!
What are you doing?
Are you stealing money?
What's with you?
Miyakozuka-san, leave this to me, please.
Please escape quickly.
What are you saying?
- Just run, before you get hurt.
- Shut up.
I told you, didn't I?
What are you doing?
I'll call the police.
Let's go.
Thank you for saving me from danger.
Actually, they were the ones I was trying to save.
Come to think of it,
when we met for the first time, a similar thing happened, right?
- Rich kid, there are some bucks in here.
- Please give it back!
Stop it!
Bullying a weaker one, don't you feel ashamed as a man?!
What's up with you?
Sorry, it somehow slipped from my hand.
Then...
It rained...
There will be rain tonight.
Please, use this.
But then you will...
I was going to get my dad, so I have another one.
Thank you.
Unfortunately,
I only have one umbrella today.
It's okay. Don't worry about me.
It's not okay.
You'll catch a cold.
Thank you.
So, let's go.
It's my first time sharing an umbrella with Miyakozuka-san.
Miyakozuka-san,
since meeting you things have turned into a miracle.
When I'm next to you,
even now,
my heart twinges
and I can barely breathe.
It's autumn.

We will make Ginyuri's Top Burger Curry.
Top Burger Curry?
(First Part - Otomen Paradise)
As expected from Asuka-chan, that's a great idea.
We'll put the burger on top of curry,
so the curry's spiciness and the burger's taste blend well.
When I heard curry,
I thought it was a chocolate bar.
Miyakozuka-san, why a chocolate bar...?
That side of you is cute, too.
So,
let's start with making curry.
Okay.
What a nice smell.
Oh. Asuka!
Mom.
I was attracted by this good smell.
Wow.
It surely is nice.
Who made this?
Ryo-chan, this curry is delicious.
What?
How about a taste, Principal?
This is Miyakozuka-san's Ginyuri Top Burger Curry.
I'm sorry, but I have no time right now. Another time, okay?
So, work hard.
Safe.
Thanks, Tachibana.
That was close.
Mom is the only person who cannot know...
...that the real me is an otomen.
Why should we be the ones to take the documents to our opponents?
Our coach is not fair.
Well, you're weak, so it can't be helped. But treating me like a manager because of my girly face.
Ariake, we're not managers. We are a team.
- Did you just say that I'm weak?
- It's here, right?
It's this kind of school?
It's full of dangerous people.
Sorry.
Do you have a cold?
Ouch! Golden teeth!
- Are you okay, Isono-san?
- We caught the prey!
Yeah!
They're here, too?
They're coming.
Isono-san, what...
Isono...
They're coming!
Isono-san.
Isono!!
Here.
Hayano-senpai, did a baldy and a gaudy come in here?
No, no one did.
- Hey, search over there.
- Okay.
It's okay now.
You're Ginyuri students, right?
Why are you here?
We have business with the kendo club.
We wanted to deliver these documents, but we were chased suddenly.
The guys in this school
take rich students, like the ones at Ginyuri, as trophies.
Trophies?
I know someone in the kendo club, so I'll hand them over.
Really?
That would be very helpful. Right, Isono-san?
Yes.
I'll mail you when I hand it over to them.
Ah, wait a second... My cellphone...
I was wondering,
could you tell me your mail address?
M-me?
Sure!
Infrared beam~
(A few days later)
Asuka, do you have a minute?
What is it, Isono?
Actually, I have a girlfriend now!
This is the two-shot we took on our first date at the aquarium.
So cute~
The two-shot on our second date at the zoo.
So cute~
Good morning.
Sorry, Miyakozuka-san,
for bothering you on a holiday.
(Doran High)
No problem.
My father couldn't come today, so I wanted to be of help.
Work hard today.
Thank you.
Isono-kun.
She's for real!
What, Miyumiyu? You've come!
Miyumiyu?
Good luck, Isono-kun.
Stop it.
Isono-san's girlfriend is beautiful.
Yeah.
Anything looks great on you.
Alright. Let's go!
Yes.
What are you looking at?
But, what a dreadful school.
What are you?
- Sorry.
- It's different from Ginyuri.
The kendo club members must be like these guys, right?
No. It's a team that will enter the championship.
Such a club would not have anyone like these guys.
(If you see someone suspicious, call 110 Patrol)
Having a match in this kind of atmosphere...
Interesting.
I'll change the atmosphere.
Start!
(Senpo match; Tonomine (Ginyuri) - Akada (Doran))
You are holding the champion title with just this?
Who are you?
Dirty!
It's a foul!
- He's attacking points with no-bogu protection.
- Damn it.
Tsuki!
Hey, hey, go back in there.
I'll win this.
Start!
Tsuki!
Alright!
Tonomine did it.
Tonomine-san! Are you okay?
Tonomine, are you okay?
Don't think about me. Worry about yourselves.
(Jiho match; Hashimoto (Ginyuri) - Kokuryo (Doran))
What a dirty play!
It's over. The winner is Doran High.
(Chuken match; Nakajima (Ginyuri) - Sasaki (Doran))
Match over.
Draw.
(Fukusho match; Tanaka (Ginyuri) - Tozuka (Doran))
Draw.
Damn it.
They are attacking no-bogu zones and tripping the opponent.
This is not the way of a swordsman.
So he's Ginyuri's Masamune Asuka?
I've watched one of his matches.
He's the type that acknowledges his opponent's ability.
Just finish him off.
Let's start.
(Aisho match; Masamune (Ginyuri) - Hayano (Doran))
I hate rich students like those in Ginyuri.
Start!
- Men!
- Do!
Amazing.
It's the first time I've seen him like this.
Asuka-san is angry.
Start!
Match over. The winner is Ginyuri High!
As expected, Asuka-sensei!
Hayano-sama, are you okay?
Take off the mask.
It's okay. Nothing serious here.
Go get some ice.
- Great!
- Onii-chan, are you okay?
Amazing.
Those guys from Ginyuri...
...shouldn't be forgiven.
I wonder if it's a love letter.
Isono-san sure seems happy.
Thank you so much!
Now, I can pay for my mom's medicine.
It's okay, Miyumiyu. This is not a big amount, after all.
Also, I want to meet your mom as soon as she gets better.
I'll work and pay you back.
There's no rush, really.
I have to leave with the others from the kendo club.
Okay.
Ah, next Saturday, there's a traditional event at my school to choose who is the best comedian.
I'll definitely win, so won't you come and see me?
Okay. I look forward to it.
- I'll bring a lot of my friends along.
- Thanks.
I'm serious.
I'll bring a lot of my friends along.
(Kendo Hall)
Actually,
the fee for the All-Japan Meet which I left in the clubroom's safe,
100,000 yen disappeared.
[Note: 100,000 yen ~ 1,080 USD]
Disappeared...? You mean it was stolen?
Yeah.
Okay, repeat after me.
Nobody has a secret that cannot be set in me.
[Note: What they say in English isn't supposed to make any sense.]
Nobody has a secret that cannot be set in me.
Okay, Mr. Masamune, change it to Japanese.
"I have a secret that I can't tell anyone."
Excellent.
Okay, next question. Repeat after me.
Are you a criminal?
Mr. Tonomine, change it to Japanese.
"Are you a criminal?"
Yes, I am.
You are a murderer?
Among you,
there's someone who stole the envelope with the entrance fee.
- Who would?
- Right now that person, for sure,
is being condemned by his conscience
and is in pain.
Okay.
Everybody, close your eyes.
Don't ever regret this.
I promise this will remain between you and me only.
So, whoever did it, please be honest and raise your hand.
Alright.
You can open your eyes.
You did it, Isono!
You said you wouldn't tell!
It is Isono, just as I thought.
Typical.
Alright! Catch the criminal!
You're wrong! I just wanted to help my girlfriend!
This is love!
Isono!
No, no! Listen to me!
It's not like that.
Do not watch your dramas on dramacrazy! Get this FREE at querbeetsubs.tk!
This is good.
All that's left is the Top Burger Curry.
Yes.
The main point in the Top Burger Curry
is to grill the burger, so that it's delicious and plump.
Let's try to use this today.
Ice?
After frying one side, we turn off the fire temporarily,
and put ice in the frying pan.
Put it at the center of the burger.
Then, we put the lid on, and wait a while.
The juice from the meat looks great.
The ice in the burger turns into water and boils.
That heat spreads evenly from inside the burger.
We put some colorful vegetables,
and then the hamburger on top.
In the end, some cheese
and just leave it to grill in the oven.
Fish cake boom.
Amazing. How many people are lining up for this?
Fish cake. It's like fish cake is the boom.
Prison rule.
Is this that prison rule? Stupid.
- Ginyuri's students.
- That's irrelevant.
It might be because we haven't done this in a while, but it's not coming out naturally.
Yeah, there's something missing to our joke.
Miyumiyu will come tomorrow,
so I wanted to show her how funny I am.
Then, don't disappoint your audience.
Yumeko-sensei.
The audience's judgment will decide Gin-1's top, so make them your allies.
So, find something that won't disappoint their expectations.
That's Yumeko-sensei, right?
Maybe.
There's one day left.
There must be something you can do.
If you're going to do it,
aim for the top.
Yes.
Ah, I've got to hurry, or I'll miss the last train on the Sobu Line.
Tonomine!
What do you want?
Can you read this for me?
"Starting today, my bamboo sword is yours."
- As I thought.
- No mistake.
Please! Could you lend us your strength in tomorrow's Gin-1?
- What is this all of a sudden?
- Please! Do this with us.
I want to show Miyumiyu that I can win.
(Joke Script)
Are you telling me to do this?
I refuse. Ask someone else.
It won't do if it's not you, Tonomine.
Why me?!
Great!
This will be popular, Asuka-san!
It's all done, so how about we eat some?
Okay.
Please.
Itadakimasu.
It's really delicious.
Really?
Thank you for saying so.
Actually this is a recipe that my dad taught me.
Your dad?
My dad is good at cooking.
Since my mom loves curry and I love hamburgers,
he created this recipe to please both of us.
I see.
What a wonderful story.
What sort of person was your dad?
When I was a kid, he didn't condemn me for playing with girls' toys.
He just watched over me silently from nearby.
You said so when we first met, right?
That your dad taught you to be true to yourself.
Yes.
My dad was like that, too.
I'm sorry.
I broke a branch of the cherry tree that you treasure so much.
Well done, Asuka.
The value of your honesty can't be compared even to 1000 branches of cherry.
To be honest to yourself is not a simple thing.
Ever since I met you,
I'm always being saved by you,
and I'm always thinking that I'd like to
become closer to you.
You're a good cook,
honest,
and always gentle and watching over me.
You resemble your dad, don't you?
Maybe.
It's weird.
When I talk to Miyakozuka-san,
I feel like she accepts me for who I am.
If now...
If now, for sure...
Miyakozuka-san.
My dad always told me this:
When people fall in love, their heart twinges.
Even though they don't have a cold,
it becomes hard for them to breathe.
When I first met you,
I...
We followed the smell of curry and it's just the both of you.
Do you want to join us?
Can we?
Well, sorry for intruding.
- I'm quite picky about food.
- What bad timing, Isono.
(Ginyuri High)
(Gin-1 Grand Prix)
Blood type is A?
Yes.
The Ginyuri Mother for Flower Fortune Telling is over here!
Here are the girls' personal data.
According to the flower, being born in 1992,
and with blood type A, you are a rose type.
In the flower language, it's love and passion.
You're bold in love.
Right!
By the way, today's lucky person
are those who eat curry.
He looks like my first love.
(Beauty Cosmetic - Butterfly)
I wish he would listen to my stories.
Okay.
Now, that you're all beautiful,
go here.
Next, please take a seat.
You?
It's Tonomine, right?
You appreciated my make-up to the extent of lining up for it?
I was only wondering what was waiting for me beyond that line.
You have the guts, on this festival day.
I'll turn you into a butterfly.
What do you mean?
I have nothing that needs to be fixed.
Shut up!
If you want to become pretty, leave it all to me.
If you're a man, shut up and do your work.
Well, Japan's girls have become strong.
Top Burger Curry.
- We're waiting for you.
- Oh, looks delicious.
- It does, right?
- Try this.
Aren't they gorgeous?!
They sure are!
Give us a pamphlet~
Don't interfere!
Asuka-san is ours!
As usual, you are very popular.
Alright!
I'll open the path to laughter.
Let's go!
1! 2! 3!
GO~
This year, Gin-1 has started cheerfully as well.
Yeah.
Entry Number 1. Class 2-A. From the kendo club,
Tanaka-kun!
Hello~
I'll do mimicry.
Those who are true men,
come forward!
Next, when I go to Shinya convenience store.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, shop assistant, it's Tanaka.
What? The shop assistant is not around.
Shop assistant, come forward!
Thank you.
Coward.
Do as you wish at Ginyuri High.
Let's destroy Ginyuri.
Let's go.
An order of Top Burger Curry!
Okay.
Two more here.
Okay!
What is this?! It's really delicious!
Yeah, delicious.
Sorry to keep you waiting. Here you go.
Itadakimasu.
A plump, grilled hamburger with curry soaked in its juice.
This taste...
How is it?
Delicious!
This might become Ginyuri High's special product.
Thank you!
Enjoy your meal.
It couldn't be Asuka...
Lend us your money.
Come on.
Bring him there.
Take him.
It won't work.
You're Isono-san's...
Thank you for the other day.
Where are all the kendo club members?
Maybe some are in the gym.
It's nearly time for Isono-san's Gin-1.
Won't you go and watch?
I'm not interested.
There's a new fast-food place in the neighborhood.
They're having a campaign now.
- Hamburger is half-price, potato is half-price,
- smile is half-smile.
- Sounds good.
- What?
- We don't want even the smile to be half, right?
- No, we don't.
I just have to say it like it is here, right?
Leave it to us!
Thank you very much.
It's almost time for Isono and the others.
Yes. I bumped into them just now. They were nervous.
Isono's girlfriend is here, too, right?
I looked for her earlier, but couldn't find her.
Great.
I made it, right?
- It's just about to start.
- Next, from Class 2-A, Isono-kun, Hashimoto-kun and Tonomine-kun.
Tonomine, too?
Hello!
Proposal. Baseball player's case.
If I hit a home run in today's match, please marry me.
Women won't fall for this.
Let's switch places.
Baldy.
- If someone hits a home run in today's match, please marry me.
- What did you say?
You can't leave that to others, right?
Starting today, my bat will be yours only.
Dirty talk?
Pilot's case.
Next time, let's go on a honey moon during my flight. Please marry me.
Hey, big toe!
Women won't fall for this.
Let's switch places.
- If there are no cute flight attendants in the next flight, please marry me.
- What's with you?
You'd be popular, if you didn't say such things.
- Starting today, my jumbo jet will be yours only.
- Isn't it still dirty talk?!
- Miyakozuka-san, are you laughing because you understand the meaning?
- Police officer's case.
As a police officer, I've been protecting the citizens.
But from now on, I want to protect you only.
Please marry me.
- I'm a police dog. Marry me.
[Note: He mistakes keisatsukan (police officer) for keisatsuken -police dog]
- You're not a dog!
Wan~
[Note: Wan - dog bark]
- Starting today, my baton...
- I won't let you say it!
Thank you.
I found you at last.
I will now announce the winner of Gin-1 Grand Prix.
The winner is...
Isono, Hashimoto, you did great.
Damn. It sucked big time, Asuka.
But it was very funny, Isono-san.
Ryo-chan, you know dirty talk?
Yes.
Too bad.
Even with that applause.
But answering the audience's expectations, it was a good stage.
Hanazawa-sensei, didn't you miss the stage while watching?
No.
Good work.
Suddenly, I got to catch my train. Sorry.
Will I make it?
Mom, what did you mean just now?
This school's legendary student that made those antagonists laugh
was Hanazawa-sensei.
What?!
I laughed to death.
Hanazawa-sensei's joke was a female high school student on the Sobu Line.
I want to keep this.
But, where am I?
Love?
Isn't it too late?
Conductor, good luck!
Seriously, this is so funny?
So, Yumiko-sensei is that great?
"I won't let you say it."
Miyuki-san.
That guy.
This is more or less it.
It's quite a lot.
Just as we thought, they sure are rich.
If this goes on, it will become so comfortable.
That kid with the shaved head,
doesn't suspect you at all, senpai?
He is so easy to lie to.
The moment he entered the classroom,
I immediately knew he'd be a nice trophy.
Hayano-senpai, did a baldy and a gaudy come in here?
No, no one.
How much did you make with that baldhead?
Around 200,000 yen.
He lent it to me.
But he's calling every evening, so I think he'll just forget about the debt.
Onii-chan.
Yo.
The kendo club members are at the gym.
Hello?
What?
Isono-san!
What are you talking about?
Well...
What is it, Miyumiyu?
You know,
I feel sick whenever you call me Miyumiyu.
Don't you get it?
From the beginning...
...it was just about money.
I told you, right?
That we think of rich kids like Ginyuri's as prizes only.
We all hate Ginyuri.
Give it back.
What?
Right now, collect all the money and give it back!
Ouch!
Isono-san.
Catch him!
This is bad.
Sensei, there's trouble!
- What is it, Ariake?
- Isono-san is being chased by Doran guys.
- We have to help him!
- Isono-san?
Why?
Isono-san was tricked.
That woman just wanted money.
Where do you run to now?
I'll kill you kid!
Ryo-chan, Asuka!
You tricked Isono-san?
Apologize to him.
What?!
Isono, hide.
Well-bred people like you should just be obedient.
What is the problem exactly?
What's the difference between Ginyuri and Doran? Aren't we ordinary high school students like you?
Ordinary high school students like us?
Asuka-san.
Damn it.
You can't hit us, right?
If you rich kids cause violence,
you won't be allowed to participate in any match.
We're not the same.
You play dirty tricks.
Don't you feel ashamed?
Shut up!
Hayano-san, are you okay?
You're still saying those old things?
It's not summer anymore.
It's autumn.
Miyakozuka-san, stay close to me.
Asuka-san.
It's the same for me. Whenever I'm with you,
my heart throbs,
and breathing becomes hard. All the time!
Even now, the whole time...
Miyakozuka-san.
But...
Right now, we'll take down the enemy in front of us with full force!
Right?
Yeah.
