You and I Are Polar Opposites (正反対な君と僕)

'Sup!

Hey, Morimo!

Morning.

'Sup!

Hey, Mini! 'Sup!

What're you doing?

Goofing off.

Tani-kun! Morning!

Morning!

That's so creepy.

No one asked you!

Move or I'll crush those hair buns of yours!

Stop it!

If you two don't hurry up, you'll be late!

I'm going!

Morning, Suzuki.

Oh, Azuma! Morning.

You and Taira came together?

We did not!

Morning, Nabesato!

Morning.

Good morning!

Hey there, Yamada!

Hey!

Oh! T-Tani-kun! Good morning!

Good morning.

Suzuki, you're so loud!

Proper greetings will save the world!

Hey, my eyelashes look good today, right?

I can't tell.

Why not just use false eyelashes?

I could, but I prefer my real eyelashes.

And the mascara comes off if you sweat, cry, or rub it.

So, I just end up wondering which brand I should try...

and stuff like that.

Tani-kun, what do you think?

I wouldn't know anything about it, would I?

Tani-kun! You're icy as always today!

Why do you get such a kick out of pestering Tani-kun

about things he obviously has no interest in?

Exactly.

I love the way he shuts me down. I can't help myself.

If you ever need help picking mascara, I'll help!

No need.

Shut down again!

He's ruthless.

Stop bothering Tani-kun.

Tani-kun, I'm so sorry. Truly.

To be honest...

I'm desperately in love with you!

YOU AND I ARE POLAR OPPOSITES

Did you finish your English homework?

I only did the parts I thought I might get right.

Do the whole thing.

Sitting in the seat next to mine is Tani-kun.

He seems like a quiet guy with glasses to everyone else,

GROUP ASSIGNMENT

ANALYZE GEOGRAPHIC CHALLENGES IN OUR TOWN AND MAKE PROPOSALS

TERRAIN

ROADS -> CREATE TOURIST ATTRACTIONS

but Tani-kun speaks his mind clearly.

THWACK

The teacher will probably flag this part, so it needs to be redone.

Huh? Why? Good enough is good enough, right?

And he has the same attitude no matter who he's with.

HE'S NOT PUSHY, THOUGH

FWIP...

Do you have your assignment?

HE DOESN'T GROVEL, EITHER

FWIP...

Assignment?

Thanks for collecting them.

Thanks.

Like the last time we changed seats...

FRONT

BACK

Okay. Change seats.

A MIRACLE

I'm right next to him!

This is crazy. What do I do?!

I hope you'll treat me well, neighbor!

TENSE...

SMILE...

Likewise.

The thing about being in the front row...

( Trying to make small talk with relatable anecdotes )

The blackboard can be harder to read that you'd expect.

I'll read anything you can't make out, 'kay?

I think I'll be fine.

Okay, then!

Tani-kun doesn't adjust his behavior without good reason.

I just really... really admire that!

Suzuki, which one do you like?

Huh? Sorry, I wasn't listening!

Hey!

B-But, I mean...

I think that a person

would rev up the crowd better than an audio recording.

Right, Tani-kun?

I have no idea.

Tani-kun, if she's bothering you, just say so.

It's fine.

See? He says it's fine!

Whew! What a relief!

WHEW

Tani-kun, I'm sorry! I love you, and yet...

I want to talk to you normally, and yet...

I'm always worrying about how others see me,

so I can't talk in a way that reveals that I like you!

I admire Tani-kun so much, but...

you and I are polar opposites!

Right! After school, let's all go to KingBurg!

Hey, Suzuki! You'll come, too, right?

I have to do my homework.

EXCITED EXCITED EXCITED

I'm totally going!

YAAAAAAAAAY

Yay!

Suzuki, will you let me copy your homework?

Again?

Please save me!

Oh, fine. You're hopeless!

Thank you!

Oh, Suzuki! Your story yesterday made me laugh!

Suzuki-san, do you mind if I follow your account, too?

I didn't post anything weird, did I?

Sure! Please do!

But, you know...

Tani's really smart, right?

Are you talking about the group work today?

Now that you mention it, I saw him heading to cram school.

Huh? Is he headed for UTokyo?

I don't know about that.

He's really amazing, isn't he?

He lives in a different world from the rest of us.

Don't lump me in with you.

Suzuki's the closest to Tani-kun in our group, right?

What? You think so?

That's gross!

Are you okay?

I'm just at an age when stuff catches in my throat easily.

You're too young for that.

Oh! SudaKen won Most Beloved Actor for a second time!

SUDAKEN

QUIRKY

ACTOR

Girls really like the mischievous types, huh?

Whoa. SudaKen's the only one who's boyfriend material.

There it is! Suzuki's stanning SudaKen again.

Some say reading the room is for other people's sakes...

but it isn't.

I do it completely for my own sake.

And yet...

sometimes it tires me out.

Why is that?

I should head home.

T-Tani-kun, are you heading home now? It's late, isn't it?

I know my face must've looked hideous just now!

There was committee work to be submitted.

Tani-kun, what way do you take home?

Out the gate and turn right.

Same!

No one's watching.

GLANCE GLANCE

Tani-kun...

This is crazy!

Want to go part of the way home together?

My heart's gonna burst out of my chest!

So, Tani-kun, your house is this way, too?

We've never ended up together before, though.

Yeah.

Oh, I'm always running around goofing off after school.

No wonder I never saw you.

And you have student council stuff to do too, right?

Yeah.

And, um, we went to KingBurg the other day,

and the burger was huge! It didn't even fit in the bun.

The buns were basically served on the side, you know?

I had no idea how to eat it!

Wait. Is this topic interesting at all?

Was it good?

A QUESTION!!!!

Yeah! It was! Super good!

I know! Tani-kun, want to grab one with me? Just kidding!

Sure.

Huh?

What did he just say?

Is he just being polite? Or matching the mood?

No, Tani-kun isn't that kind of person.

Find something...

Say something back to him, me!

It's no good!

My heart is pounding so hard! I just can't!

BONK

SHOCK

Uh, um, I...

It can't be.
