One Week Friends (Isshuukan Friends)

Don't Hit On Students!

We have our own rule.

Personal Conversation Strictly Prohibited

Fujimiya-san...

You dropped this.

Fujimiya-san's scary...

In the classroom, I can't talk to her.

I can't even say hello.

Sorry about earlier, Hase-kun!

No, I'm sorry for talking to you.

It is sad that we can only talk on the roof, though.

If you talk to me, people will say things about you, too.

I don't care about that.

It's my decision to do this.

Besides, I'm just glad I met someone I can be myself around.

I h-hope you find more people like that.

Yeah.

Truthfully, I was happy to be special.

I thought that following our restrictive rule was proof of our friendship.

Until she appeared.

I found you.

So this is where you've been, Fujimiya-san.

#5 New Friends.

That's all for class.

Don't forget your assignments.

Hase, come to the faculty office.

Huh?

Why?

It's about your grades.

Let's have a long chat about your future.

I really want to have lunch, but I'll be a little late!

Sorry!

Are you okay?

Hase-kun?

Hello, Fujimiya-san.

You're in my class...

I'm Yamagishi Saki.

I followed you because I wanted to talk to you.

To talk?

Listen...

If you don't mind,

I'd like for us to be friends.

Wh-Why?

Because I want to be your friend.

I'd actually prefer if you'd be my older sister, though...

Huh?

Or you could be my mother.

But I think I'd rather have you as my sister.

One about two years older.

What are you saying?

I've always looked up to you.

You're so mature, Fujimiya-san.

You can do everything yourself, and you have it together.

I wish I could be like you...

But I also want you to take care of me.

Don't you want to be my friend?

I-It's not that I don't...

Great!

I hope we'll be good friends, Fujimiya-san.

H-Huh?

H-Hase-kun...

Someone's standing there like she belongs here.

Hello.

You're Yamagishi-san, right?

What are you doing here?

She asked me to be her friend.

Huh?

By the way, you two boys, what are your names?

I'm Hase, and this is Kiryu.

Wait, aren't you in our class?!

You don't remember our names?

Hase-kun and Kiryu-kun, huh?

So, are you Fujimiya-san's friends?

Yeah!

Strictly speaking, only I'm her friend.

Then, from now on, Fujimiya-san has two friends, including me.

But I promised I'd eat lunch with some other friends,

so I can't come here all the time.

About that...

I can only talk like this on the roof.

I'd rather you didn't speak to me in the classroom.

Why not?

Well, it's complicated...

Huh...

I'm not sure I understand, but okay.

See you later, Fujimiya-san.

What should I do, Hase-kun?

Just keep doing what you're doing.

We still don't know what Yamagishi-san's like.

The Next Day

Good morning, Fujimiya-san.

Did I surprise you? It's me.

Y-Yamagishi-san...

You smell nice.

What shampoo do you use?

Um, n-normal shampoo...

Saki, good morning!

Ah, Maiko-chan, Ai-chan...

What's up?

Did something happen with Fujimiya-san?

We were just talking... Right?

Huh?

She talked to her like it was totally normal...

Wait, Fujimiya-san.

We have the same elective next period, right?

Let's go together.

Um, Yamagishi-san...

Yesterday, I asked you not to talk to me except on the roof.

Oh, really? Why not?

You don't remember?

I feel like it might have come up...

But why can't I talk to you?

Do you not like me?

I-It isn't that...

Then I can talk to you, right?

Eh?

Hey... Come on, let's go.

Wait...

Yamagishi-san's too pushy!

Hey, Fujimiya-san,

I don't understand part of the math assignment...

Could you show me how to do it?

Where are you going?

Fujimiya-san...

Huh?

Where did you go?

Yamagishi-san, you're being too loud.

There you are.

Hey, wait!

Wait, Yamagishi-san!

I-Inoue-sensei...

Don't run in the hallway.

S-Sorry.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yamagishi-san tends to do things at her own pace...

She can be a little pushy.

She's cheerful and interesting.

I bet being her friend would be fun...

Huh? You want to be her friend?

But if she becomes my friend, I'll forget her.

I've always avoided speaking to others because I don't want that to happen.

Why don't you break your rule?

Huh?

I'm really glad we became friends.

I was right to work up the courage to talk to you.

At first, you might be nervous, and even scared.

But I'm sure it won't be all bad.

I bet Yamagishi-san wants you to talk to her.

Thanks, Hase-kun.

Fujimiya-san...

Um, do you need something?

Y-Yamagishi-san,

can I speak to you?

Your memories of your friends get reset once a week?

Yeah. I'm sorry for springing this on you.

I understand if you find it unbelievable.

I don't know about unbelievable...

It's just too difficult for me to understand.

What do you mean by "memories of your friends"?

What does "reset" mean?

Explain it briefly.

Well, um...

I forget about my friends.

You forget?

Yeah, every Monday.

Then you're like me.

Huh?

I'm really forgetful, too.

I'm always forgetting people's names...

I even forget if I've spoken to someone.

It isn't quite like that...
