Kase-san and Morning Glories (あさがおと加瀬さん。)

Even though we're both girls...

Yamada, you're in Class B! Same as me!

Thank goodness!

Tomoka Kase

Hey, me too!

We started going out a short while ago.

...we saw cloudy skies and some showers, but conditions have improved since.

Tomorrow's conditions look to be clear and refreshing.

In other news...

Whoa! It's Kase!

W-What did she write...?

Today

Can I call you?

Read

Go... ahead..

H-Hello?! Yamada speaking!

Uh... yeah, I know!

This is Kase.

Yeah, I know.

Right, I was... kinda bracing myself.

You don't have to brace yourself!

What are you up to?

Me? I just took a bath, and now I'm, uh...

Reading a book about greenery.

Greenery...?

Oh!

By the way, um, Kase...

Yeah? What's up?

I've never really, or, like...

I barely even talked to guys or anything. So...

You're the first person I've gone out with.

For a high school senior, that's bad enough, but I've got no clue what...

No, t-that's nothing to be embarrassed about!

But...

Couples usually do all sorts of things together, so...

What was that sound? H-Hello?

Hello?!

Uh...

Don't worry. It's nothing.

Are you okay? Your voice sounds kinda stifled...

Training is important and all, but you shouldn't push yourself!

K-Kase?!

I'm alright! Don't you worry.

For real? That's a relief.

So I mean, what are you supposed to do in a relationship?

Ah, geez...

Hey, Kase?

Kase?!

Y-Yamada...

Do whatever you wanna do, Yamada.

Is that really okay?

Yep!

So that's how it works!

Don't sweat it. I'll see ya soon! Goodnight!

Will you...

I will.

...go out with me?

Of course I will!

I'm sorry if I'm forcing this on you...

It's just... I've always felt the same way...

Dating her...

Am I dreaming?

And our feelings for each other are mutual!

Aah, I can't believe it!

Do whatever you wanna do, Yamada.

Relationships...

feel more vague than I expected.

But at times like these, I can always...

make her a homemade lunch!

Wait, did Kase take a day off?

No, they needed her for some track and field stuff, so she had to go somewhere.

That's pretty much the same!

I'll sleep through the day.

On the floor?

It's my first visit to Okinawa! And first time on a plane!

Alright, now. Quiet down.

If you get too excited now, you won't have any energy left when it's time to go!

That's no problem when you're young!

You tell her!

Okay, girls...

Are you trying to provoke a certain someone?

Hook, line, and sinker!

Right, Yamada?

Boo!

Workin' hard today, Ms. Gardener?

Oh, it's you, Mikawa.

What the heck's goin' on? It's weird to see people like you sighing, ya know.

Sighing?

Was I?

I'll see ya tomorrow! Bye!

Was I sighing?

No! Stay focused!

Whoa! I sighed!

Morning, Yamada!

Good morning, Kase!

You know, I...

I, um...

Where is it?

Good morning, Kase!

Hey, what's the big idea?

It was super boring without you around!

Come on over to Class D with us!

Suzuki said she'd finish the article for our club's magazine this week, but she's totally slacking!

Dang, she still hasn't done it?

I reminded her and everything!

Go talk some sense into her, Kase!

Kase sure is popular.

Yeah, I guess.

That's okay.

I'll give it to her at lunch.

Let's have lunch, Yamada!

Um, is it okay if Kase joins us today?

Kase's eating with the track and field girls in the cafeteria.

What?!

You gonna sleep again?

Hey Yamada, don't tell me...

you're going out with Kase?

W-Why—

Kinda seems that way.

Come to think of it, that's a lunch for two...

Well...

I-It's...

You coulda told me!

Sorry, it's just a bit...

Here.

I don't completely understand, but I bet it's tough being with someone that popular.

But that doesn't seem to bother ya.

Wait, there was nothing left?

Sorry! I'll treat you to something next time!

Huh? You didn't eat?

Kase!

Yum!

That was delicious! Thanks a bunch!

Sorry. I had no idea you made a lunch just for me.

I'm always running around, so it's probably hard to catch up.

Well, it's because you're so nice and cool! Of course everyone wants to be around you.

Yamada?

True. Maybe all that busywork lead to me neglecting what I value the most...

C'mon!

This way!

Here. Look down.

Shrubbery?

From second year.

You'd spend lunches down there weeding, right?

Even though you only had ten minutes after eating...

Head buried in the shrubbery, moving west to east...

On rainy days, you'd bring a lime-green umbrella.

And a straw hat when it was sunny.

You never failed to impress me.

I was always wondering if you'd turn around.

But you never bothered to look up.

Even though I was always watching you.

Creepy, eh?

Now I sound like some sort of stalker!

Always...

stalking the gardener!

Kase...

But eventually, our eyes met.

Right here.

Yep!

Kase and I...

started dating this spring.

Gardening is my hobby, and I'm in the planting committee.

Kase's ran in the Inter-high three years in a row. She's the star of the track club.

Kase is the first person I've ever dated,

so even if we're both girls, I...

I love her so much

that I don't know what to do.

Yamada!

You free today?

Our club's only having a meeting today, so it looks like I can go home early.

Huh, that's cool!

Wanna come over?

Huh?! You sure?

Yep! My mom and dad are gonna be home late, and I think I'd feel lonely all by myself.

R-Really? I'll come on over, then.

Yay!

O-Okay! I'll come after I drop my stuff off at home.

Sure, see you later!

Ouch!

Kase?!

Don't worry! I'll be fine.

What was that all about?

Oh well!

I better go and get everything ready.

Time for the final check!

No emails, meaning no changes in schedule!

Room's clean!

Desk's tidy!

Fabrics cleaned!

Okay! We're all good!

All that's left is waiting for Kase to come.

Alone in my room with Kase...

This might be...
