One Week Friends (Isshuukan Friends)

Monday

Fujimiya-san.

Wh-What is it?

I'm Hase Yuki.

I'd like for us to be friends, again!

You're Hase-kun?

My diary said that you'd come, but you really did talk to me...

I spoke those words again because

Fujimiya-san's memories had been completely reset.

My name is Kujo Hajime.

You traitor.

Hajime-kun...

What's your name?

All because of the appearance of a single transfer student.

#10 Friends and Friends.

Classical Literature

Open your textbooks to page 52.

Excuse me.

I haven't gotten a textbook yet.

Really? Then have Fujimiya share hers with you.

Fujimiya-san, let's switch seats.

Huh?

Is it all right if I share my textbook?

I want to share mine!

Don't worry...

I won't say anything like I said before.

What's the holdup over there?

Fujimiya, share your textbook.

Okay.

Hase, don't just stand there. Sit down.

You're pushing our desks together?

My textbook will fall otherwise.

What I said the other day doesn't bother you, huh?

What do you mean?

Oh?

I see. Yeah, you're right.

The crickets are singing and the mist is rising on this cool night

Okay, who knows the last line of this poem?

Kujo, do you know?

Yes.

"Am I to sleep alone on the sleeve of my kimono on this rough straw mat?"

Correct.

That's impressive.

Not really.

We used to stay after school and memorize poems from the Hundred Poets anthology.

Now you're ignoring me?

So, how'd it go?

Well, she's lost her memory plenty of times before.

It's different this time.

Her memory's been reset completely.

Then, are you going to run away?

I won't run away...

I'm just frustrated.

It's like everything I've worked to build has disappeared somewhere...

Just because she talked to him a little.

Are you talking about me?

I'll have something to drink, too.

Wandering around school made me thirsty.

What?

Huh? Uh...

You're Hase, right?

Do you have some problem with me?

Huh?

You really freaked out when she collapsed.

Do you like her?

Wha—

And now there are problems between you and Fujimiya Kaori because I showed up.

Am I right?

I hate this guy!

Don't worry... I just went to elementary school with her.

There's nothing going on.

Elementary school?

Yeah, I transferred in sixth grade, and I haven't seen her since.

Don't Hit On Students!

Besides, I'm not so twisted that I'd go for another guy's girl.

F-Fujimiya-san and I aren't like that...

Oh, really?

Maybe I'll go for her, then.

Huh?

I'm kidding.

Huh?

What's your deal?

Besides, I hate Fujimiya Kaori.

Well, I'm gonna look around the school a little more.

I'm not sure what to think of him...

That's why...

That's why I'm so frustrated that a creep like him ruined all my hard work.

Does that mean he's more important to her than I am?

Tuesday

Kaori-chan!

Morning!

G-Good morning...

She's so formal.

What's wrong, Kaori-chan?

Morning.

It's Hase-kun... We'd better get out of their way.

Serizawa-san's always like that.

Embarrassing, isn't it?

Oh, that's Serizawa-san...

Yeah.

Hase-kun, I made lunch.

It was in my diary.

Yeah...

I made lunch every day, right?

I'm just happy that you made it for me, Fujimiya-san.

Oh, good.

Fried eggs!

Yeah, I used eighteen grams of sugar.

But why eighteen grams, I wonder?

Would nineteen have been bad?

Does it really taste that different?

What do you think, Hase-kun?

Fujimiya-san...

Sorry.

Hase-kun,

do you know what day it is today?

June 18th

Huh?

Is there something special about June 18th?

The answer is it's an "18" day.

Huh?

And speaking of eighteen?

The number of grams of sugar in my fried eggs...

And it's the number that first brought back your memories!

That's right.

I mark the 18th on calendars, even if it's not a special day.

But sometimes it sparks my memory when I see it on Mondays,

so I thought it might be a good thing...

So, that's why?

Yeah, that's why...

Today is an 18 day.

July 3

Your diary looks a lot nicer.

At first, I was a little disappointed that it got dirty...

But I feel like it might remind me of how desperately you looked for it.

It's so wonderful, gaining more new memories one by one...

I wonder if I'm helping you at all...

Maybe I'm bothering you by spending time with you and talking to you every day.

That's not true!

You're the one who made me realize

how wonderful it is to make memories with someone.

I had almost given up...

But because of you, I decided to try harder.

Thank you.

Little by little, moving forward and backward in turn,

I thought we were making progress.

Now that summer vacation was over,

I thought I could make lots of memories with Fujimiya-san at school again.

That's what I thought, but...

Hase-kun, see you tomorrow.

Okay.

Kaori-chan's acting weird...

You're capable of noticing that, huh?

She's clearly acting differently toward Hase-kun.

She had that lovey aura before...

I wonder what happened.

Lovey aura?

It seems like Hase-kun's feeling down, too.

Hase, Inoue's calling you.

Huh? Seriously?

I'll just have to lend them a hand.

I don't think you should interfere.

Why not?

Their problem's between them.

I just want to help my friends.
