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

Day two of the class trip...

Group activities!

Weren't the fall leaves and the gardens pretty?

The fall colors were nice...

but the timing didn't work out, did it?

What? T-Timing for what?

Oh, you're pretending you don't know?

We're going the same places as him, right?

Oh, no, that's...

It was just a "maybe we might see each other."

Being able to take beautiful photos is enough to make me than happy.

Truthfully, I was just a little hopeful.

You know, instead of going "it would be nice if we saw each other,"

you could just set a time and place to meet.

What?

Be alone with him somewhere other than school?

I could never.

Oh, but... Hon-chan, leaving you alone so suddenly would be...

Huh? That's your reason? Really?

I'm sorry. That was an underhanded excuse.

All right. You're forgiven.

I hate people who are evasive about their true feelings, you know?

I'm so sorry.

Hey, girls! What are you two talking about?

Nothing!

Huh? She lied.

YOU AND I ARE POLAR OPPOSITES

LOVE FORTUNE TELLING STONE

The stones say if your love is real!

My, how lovely.

If you close your eyes and manage to walk from one stone to the other,

your love will be fulfilled!

What?

Still, it'd be too cringe to do, right?

Me, me! I'll do it!

Wow.

You can do it, Yamada Man!

Go! Go!

- Yamada Man! - Yamada's doing it.

Right!

Left!

Reft!

Which way?!

Nice fight!

I'm happy your love will work out.

Morimo!

What are you doing? Don't get in the way!

No, no.

I'm way bigger than the stone, so the effectiveness should be greater.

What logic is that?

Hey! I see a bunch of our uniforms over there.

Is that group 7?

Try talking to him.

What?

No, he's with his friends.

I might be interrupting.

Well, if you're all right with that, then I guess it's fine, but...

Okay! Look over here!

Stop that, Tani. Smile!

Why make a face like that for the camera?

Come on! Look this way! Smile! Smile!

Are we little kids?

Suzuki, your face is tense.

Suzuki! Your face is weird!

My face is weird?!

Hurry up and take it.

Your feelings showed!

Oh! Looking good!

Going on your class trip with a girlfriend must be nice, right?

Sure.

Even if I had one, I'd never want to be that open about it.

LOVE

I just bought an charm, so I have high hopes for future me!

Oh! Hey, that's no fair!

And after you got in my way!

I wonder if there's a charm that—

Yamada-kun.

Oh, um, I'm sorry for interrupting so suddenly. I saw you, so...

GIGGLE GIGGLE

I... thought I'd try speaking to you. That's all.

Voom!

SUCKING THE CHARM POWER OUT - Huh? What's all this?

Oh! It's Nissan! Let's get a photo together!

It's a nice view, isn't it?

What brought that on?

Oh.

Yamada-kun sent the pictures from earlier.

Wow. So many photos of a bizarre group of people.

You're right.

If not for the class trip energy, we probably wouldn't have taken these.

Honestly, you had the chance.

You should've posed together.

What?

Could we take one with just us two?

With all those people around, I just couldn't!

Just going up and talking to him used up all my emotional strength for today.

INCREDIBLE, NISSHI! - You did work hard for that.

And actually...

Yamada's got problems without including me.

He should've texted Nisshi privately.

Moron. Incompetent.

Wasn't this a chance to contact her?

Oh, he texted again. I wonder if it's a photo.

What kind of photo is it?

YAMADA UNREAD MESSAGES BELOW - CAN YOU LEAVE YOUR ROOM RIGHT NOW?

What? He... He's asking me directly. Wait.

When is "right now"? What do I do?

Go, Nisshi.

What? But, Hon-chan, I'd be leaving you alone.

There's a livestream I want to watch, so I won't be bothered.

Oh, but...

I'M IN THE LOBBY, IN A PLACE WITH LOTS OF CHAIRS.

People are wandering around the hotel a lot more than I thought.

There's Yamada-kun.

Oh, some girls I don't know have arrived.

Wait. Does this mean that it's possible I wasn't the only one he called out here?

Oh, they left.

But now here's someone else.

I've only seen that greeting done overseas.

Actually, I feel like Yamada-kun is with girls a lot.

What's this?

For some reason, I've naturally thought of all of Yamada-kun's actions toward me

as signs of some kind of affection, and it turned my thinking into a mess.

But what if this is all an embarrassing misunderstanding?

Like, for me this is something that never happens, but for Yamada-kun it's normal?

What do I do? I have so little experience that I never even thought to question it!

Hey.

You should say hi.

Oh, um...

It's just... you were with other people, so...

Oh. You don't want other people to see you?

It's, um...

This is bad. My self-conscious side is showing.

Yeah, you have a point.

Right now, I hate the idea, too.

Right now?

All right.

Let's go and talk quietly by ourselves.

All the awful imaginings that were jumbled up in my head

were blown away in an instant.

Yamada-kun's words and actions are always so straightforward.

Nishi-san, was this cat around when you went by?

What? No.

It's so cute!

Oh! This is Taira, the guy I was telling you about...

Oh, I think I've seen him before.

And this is Azuma...

A pretty older sister.

And this bald giant is Morimo.

*MORIMOTO - Morimo?

OUR TURN FOR THE BATH IS COMING UP - Oh.

I've gotta get back.

Y-Yes, me too.

So, um...

Want to go hang out somewhere?

After the class trip.

Like, maybe somewhere we won't run into anyone from school.

Anywhere is good.

Just the two of us.

Yes.

What do I do?

WHY ME? WHAT SHOULD I ACCEPT? REALLY? - Thinking about Yamada-kun's feelings, there's so much I don't understand.

I hate people who are evasive about their true feelings, you know?

These feelings of mine...

I can't explain them away anymore.

I love him.

MEANWHILE

Nothing beats my bias.

Back in middle school, I couldn't say I didn't want to go,

so I reluctantly went,

thinking "I want to hurry up and go home" as I endured my class trip.

But now...

to be honest...

I'm having fun. A lot of fun.

Class trip, day three!

Class activities!

Teacher! Is it okay for me to get some ice cream?

How casual are you?

Huh? Sure.

It's fine?

I mean, we got around to everything fast.

Right?

Before I knew it, we had left the other classes behind!

As long as you make it back before the bus leaves,

you can wander around wherever.

Yeah!

Yay!

Ya—

What?

Oh, nothing.

Stop looking at me like that.

After breaking free of my hometown,

I may accidentally verge on getting overly excited,

but the moment I see myself like that, my limiter kicks in.

AZUMA KNOWS THE OLD ME. BACK THEN, I WAS LOW-LEVEL, THOUGH. - Especially when I'm with Azuma.

I DON'T WANT HER THINKING I'M LIVING IT UP IN THIS NEW ENVIRONMENT. - All these concerns mix together into...

An incomplete sense of self-consciousness and inferiority.

Huh? Where'd that come from?

Oh! Hey, I want to buy some deer senbei!

There's ten in a packet. Shall we share?
