Sensei! Sensei!
It's my fault that he injured his hand.
You can't do anything with that hand right now.
-Let's delay the publication of the next volume. -No way!
This evening, I'll be your hand.
Generally, people only see me as a young girl...
You are a young girl.
You should do more of what you want to do.
If you question love, there is no right answer.
Ariake san's really pretty isn't she?
The relationship I have with Mitsuki is of no concern to you.
I absolutely can't do it.
I want to know you,
I want to feel you,
I want to kiss...
Do you think things like this are love?
Do you think this feeling is love?
Tsukishiro kun? Next Satuday, shall we go on a date?
Huh?
By dating, you may come to understand what love is.
But... I'm your supervising editor.
Just think of it as work!
You want to write a romance novel don't you?
Then you should have at least some experience of dating.
But what if someone catches us and puts it in a magazine.
Don't you think the thought that someone's watching you... is exciting?
I do not!
You don't want to go?
I want to... go.
Well then, think about where.
I shouldn't go...
I know, but I want to...
-although… -Well? How's it going?
Are you going ahead with it?
-Eh?... No... but... -Huh?
No no no.
-Kagaya kun's next work. -Oh that!
I'm currently proposing ideas for a romance story.
This is an important time, don't neglect it.
Okay.
B O O K G I R L
-Don't be so sneaky. -Sensei!
Good morning.
Have you decided where to go?
Ah... well...
Hey, wait...
-Dogo hot spring? -Sorry.
I wanted to go after reading 'Young Master'.
We can't go all the way to Matsuyama.
Old Amagi tunnel... that's in Izu.
I wanted to go after reading 'The Dancer of Izu'
-Do you have anywhere in Tokyo? -Ah... well...
-Ah... the cemetary?! -To see Soseki Natsume's grave.
I think I understand why...
-you've never had a boyfriend before. -Eh?
I'm joking!
Well... would it be better if we went to the cinema?
-Okay! -Great, let's go!
Yes.
Kanoko.
-Sensei? -Yeah?
-What if we're photographed and put in a magazine? -I don't particularly care.
With our hands together, can he hear the pounding of my heart?
The thought makes me anxious.
Sensei? Where's your bandage?
Ah, wearing a bandage on a date would be so uncool.
Why are you saying such stupid things?
It healed quickly thanks to you.
Even so, it's no good to push yourself.
So...
I think it's fine to use this one.
-Here's your ticket. -Ah, let me get some money...
It's fine.
No, it's not.
At times like this, you should do what you're told
and say 'thank you'. Here.
Thank you.
You're welcome. Let's go.
Men's hands are so different...
the veins are so attractive...
such a beautiful profile...
his eyelashes are so long.
Don't watch me, watch the movie.
I thought that scene was really good.
-You did. -Yeah.
-Sorry, it's a work call. -Ah, okay.
Hello.
Tsukishiro?
I'm surprised to see you, are you alone?
-Ah... erm... -Huh? What is it?
Ah, well... what about you Mochizuke?
-Ah... -Chihiro kun!
-Ah, hey! -Who's this?
-Stop, it hurts! -Mochizuke... seriously?
No! This girl is... well...
-my... -Sorry for keeping you.
-Saku chan! -Saku chan?!
-Akari chan. -Akari chan?!
This girl is a writer who's yet to debut,
-Akari Mishima san. -It's been ages Akari chan.
Ah, Editor-in-chief Mishima's daughter! Candidate for newcomer of the year award!
-That's why we have a briefing session today...
-I've read your work. -Huh?
It was amazing! Thoroughly enthralling.
Er.... Thank you.
Do you also have a meeting today?
-No, today... -No, today we're conducting research.
-Research? -Research.
Yes. We're researching youth dating spots.
Where are you going next?
Next is... Dogo hot spring.
Dogo hot spring?! -I want to go!
We're not going! We're not going!
Sensei, shall we carry on?
-Yeah. -Going somewhere else?
Saku chan! I want to come with you! To research!
-No. -Eh, but I'm in a slump right now!
If I do some research, my ideas may improve.
-I'm well informed about date spots. -Come on now!
Don't think you can get away with anything because you're the editor-in-chief's daughter.
Hmm... ow, ow, ow.
Anyway, you haven't written your first book yet, how can you be in a slump?
-Is it really not okay? -Hm?
It would be good for Mishima san
to be inspired by a more experienced writer.
I'd also like to hear what Senpai has to say.
What shall we do Tsukishiro kun?
Well... Yeah! where shall we go?
Hey Chihiro kun, where shall we go?
I guess it can't be helped.
Hm?
Its okay.
-Hey -Once more, please take your hands off me.
-Well, shall we go somewhere? -Yes.
-The sea is beautiful -Yeah, really beautiful.
-The buildings are so tall. -Yeah, they are.
-The wind feels good. -Yeah.
Ah? Hey! Let's take a photo over there!
Come on!
Hey, one over there with the big bridge.
Come on! Say cheese. Ah, will you take it?
Okay, say cheese.
-It's a bit like that. -Thanks.
-Let's take one here. -Wait a minute.
-Come on. -Here?
-Okay, cheese! -This is nice.
-Yeah. -One more, cheese!
Can you take one of me?
Yes, to post on my SNS.
-Shall we take a photo too? -Eh?
Ah, it's fine. I think it would be wrong.
It's fine, we're on a date.
-No, but, really… -Look.
I'm really okay!
Ah, no, delete it! Delete it!
You don't want it?
I'll send it to you.
Well, please give me another chance.
Once more?
Okay, one, two...
-That one's good. -What do you think?
-Are you worried about those two? -Huh?
You're so easy to read.
I just want you to have a good time.
No matter how you look at it, Tskuishiro san likes Saku chan.
-You think so? -Of course she likes him.
So when you said you liked someone, you were talking about her?
Sorry Akari chan.
Don't be sorry! I haven't given up yet.
But I am surprised,
that he's showing interest in that type of person again.
-It seems weird. -Huh, what do you mean?
It's fine! Because I have you Chihiro kun!
Right? Let's go.
Hey, I'm hungry! Let's get something to eat!
Well...
-Ah! I'm sure there's somewhere over that way. -I think so too.
-Well, I'll pay. -I'll...
Well... if Saku chan pays for two...
Hey, how far have you been with Saku chan?
Wh... what are you saying? I'm Sensei's supervising editor!
-But you like him right? -Li...?
Come on, spill the beans!
Well, I wonder if this is really love?
-Huh? -I honestly don't know.
It's a bit embarrassing but I've never been in love before.
When does like start to become love and where does it go from there?
See, if there was a distinct line...
-It's not as simple as that! -Really?
To start with, it's not like you can decide to like someone.
It's like you just become aware that you feel something towards them.
So, so, so... assuming this is love,
is it okay to express these feelings?
Of course! Why wouldn't you?
Because I'm his supervising editor.
So, what would you say if you weren't?
I would say... well...
Well?
I kind of like you.
Kind of?!
Please wait a little longer.
You said you wanted to talk to me?
What do you intend to do?
I understand you know... Tsukishiro's feelings.
You understand the awakening of her love as she embraces me?
Ahh! I hate that kind of submissiveness!
Saying 'kind of' is as good as saying nothing at all.
Despite appearances, I've been rejected by Chihiro 3 times!
Eh? Mochizuke?
Being only a high school student gives me quite a handicap,
so I polish my appearance, write interesting stories
and study attraction tactics.
I'm desperate for him to turn and look towards me!
If watching him is enough, that's not love!
If you think you can get it without any effort, that's a big mistake!
Do you understand?!
Yes! I understand.
So first, I'm going to help with the food.
Thank you very much!
Huh... wait... eh eh eh ?!
I've just neutralised the enemy.
I want to see Sensei so much right now.
I honestly don't know if it's love yet but...
It isn't love.
Up until now, she's had few chances to engage with the opposite sex.
When I appeared, I became a prime target.
Until now all her feelings up till now have been input as knowledge,
her output of pleasure and excitement is then mistaken for love.
Because your first love
is something you long for with a feverish intensity.
I thought today would end her first love.
An initiation. So she could move on to a genuine love.
Like a rite of passage.
You need to get a bit more serious.
I am serious.
Sorry.
Customer waiting for number 3, thanks for waiting.
Excuse me.
So that's why he asked me to go on a date.
To make me give up.
Sensei is not going to grow to like me.
-Sorry to keep you waiting. -It's fine.
-Huh, where's Tsukishiro san? -Tsukishiro?
She went to help you get the food, she was running.
Huh?
Ahh, there she is. Tsukishiro san?
I'm sorry!
I got a bit lost.
-Is it good Chihiro kun? -Yeah.
Here we go, cheese!
-Saku chan, you too. -Okay.
-Smile Saku chan -It's fine, I am.
Here we go, cheese!
Take one of me too.
I was so happy at our closeness.
Now... my heart is breaking.
I'm going to the bathroom.
Because your first love
is something you long for with a feverish intensity.
I thought today would end her first love.
So she could move on to a genuine love, like a rite of passage.
Ahh, I ate too much.
Tsukishiro's taking her time.
She'll be back soon won't she?
I'm going to look for her.
This is okay, he muttered to himself.
Doing something childish like this, I must seem like an idiot.
Ahh, this isn't funny. She went a bit crazy.
I sort of pushed her a while ago.
Went a bit crazy... that's what happened?
It's your fault Saku chan.
You should be more level-headed.
I'm already 17.
17 eh?
And you Saku chan, have not grown at all.
Is it okay to let her go?
I don't particularly care about her.
Well what's with that face then?
Do you really like Sensei?
Am I not good enough?
If so, I'll make it better,
because I like you Tsukishiro san.
Sensei...
I'm there for you Saku.
That girl can't support Kagaya kun.
I think someone's trying to stop me.
-You need to have more confidence in your ability to love. -I love you so I won't give up.
So, you're turning into that kind of guy.
