ORESUKI: Are you the only one who loves me? (俺を好きなのはお前だけかよ)

What did you just say?

STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE

H-How would you know about that?

After all, I...

- I think I'm gonna bomb that test. - Me, too.

Excuse me?

The most horrible incident of my life...

But let's back up a little before that.

ORESUKI ARE YOU THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVES ME?

EPISODE 01 I'M REALLY JUST AN ORDINARY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT

Now this is what I call spring!

My name is Amatsuyu Kisaragi.

AMATSUYU KISARAGI (16) JORO

If you take "moon" out of my family name, you get "Joro."

JORO

"Joro," that's my nickname.

Other than an unusual nickname, there's nothing remarkable about me.

I'm an average, run-of-the-mill student.

Good morning!

G-Good morning, Himawari.

Stare...

Wh-What?

Yep! You're Joro today, too!

This is Aoi Hinata.

AOI HINATA (16) HIMAWARI

You get "Himawari" by mixing up the characters in her full name, "Aoi Hinata."

HIMAWARI

She's my cheerful, energetic childhood friend.

Well, let's go to school together again!

NISHIKIZUTA HIGH SCHOOL

- Good morning, everyone! - Good morning!

Good morning, everyone!

Good morning!

Morning, Himawari, Joro!

Good morning!

Hey, you two!

Sun-chan, good morning!

Good morning, Sun-chan!

Yeah, good morning!

This is Sun-chan. His name is Taiyo. "Sun" is a literal translation.

TAIYO OGA (16) SUN-CHAN

He's the ace of our baseball team, fourth batter.

Our personalities are opposites, but, oddly enough, we get along well.

In fact, Sun-chan has been my best friend since middle school.

As always, you two are as thick as thieves!

Right?

Or an albatross around my neck.

Don't spoil it like that.

That makes me an albatross, too.

I'm happy how things are! Don't change anything!

R-Right.

What's wrong, Himawari?

Joro, you're an idiot!

Hmph!

What's with her?

I guess things do change, whether you like it or not.

What does that mean?

Who knows? Figure it out yourself, you thick-skulled dork.

LET'S MAKE OUR DEAREST WISH COME TRUE AND GO TO KOSHIEN THIS YEAR!

Well, I'm off to practice!

You're really into it, huh, Sun-chan?

Of course! This year, we're gonna be regional champions,

then go on to Koshien!

You, too, good luck at student council, Joro!

Thanks!

- Why? - What's she doing here?

Hi, Joro.

President Cosmos!

Why?

This is President Cosmos.

SAKURA AKINO (17) COSMOS

If you take the "no" out of her real name, it can be read as "cosmos."

She's the student council president and a third-year, which is a year ahead of me.

I thought I would pick up our reliable secretary for a change.

Thank you.

You go, Joro! Your idol, the president, gives you door-to-door service.

I'm jealous!

H-Hey, Sun-chan!

Thank you.

What did you come here for, Cosmos?

I came to see the person I wanted to see, Himawari.

Himawari, what's the matter?

Nothing's the matter!

Well, that's a side benefit.

What does that mean?

Think about it.

Well, I'm going to practice!

O-Okay.

It seems she doesn't like me.

STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICE

Excuse me.

Well, I'll deliver these to the staff room on my way out.

Um, so, I'll see you on Monday.

Joro, do you have a minute?

What is it?

U-Um...

Tomorrow is Saturday, so would you go somewhere with me?

Maybe I shouldn't have asked.

N-No, it's fine!

Then tomorrow morning at 10:00.

Why don't we meet up by the clock tower at the station?

S-Sure! Of course!

Great!

That's an okay from you for tomorrow.

Well, see you tomorrow!

Right! See you tomorrow!

It's a date, right?

A date with President Cosmos...

From Himawari?

Ah, jeez.

Let's go somewhere tomorrow!

Sorry. I can't tomorrow.

Then on Sunday! Definitely Sunday!

Got it?

ALL RIGHT.

Guess I can't say no, then.

All right, on to homework.

Hi. You're early.

G-Good morni—

Um...

do I look strange?

N-No! You're fine!

Good. Then, let's go.

I-I'm looking forward to it!

Yes, so am I.

Thank you for lunch.

You went to all the trouble of making it.

It's my way of thanking you for all your help with student council.

Nah, it's nothing.

Um, Joro!

Yes?

A-Actually, I invited you today because I wanted to tell you something.

Tell me something?

Yes!

Um...

First, would you sit next to me?

Y-Yes. Sure.

A-Actually, uh...

there's someone that I like.

O-Okay!

When I think about that person, my chest feels tight.

But just being able to see him every day is enough to make me happy.

I-I...

I'm in love with your best friend, Taiyo Oga!

What?

It all started last year at the final game of the regional baseball tournament.

L-Last year's final game of the regional baseball tournament?

As the team's ace, he must've been more frustrated than anyone at losing.

But Oga was encouraging his teammates.

Even now, that image of him is etched in my mind.

But that wasn't his true feeling.

After the game, I was oddly curious,

so I walked to the players' waiting room from the east entrance.

Oga was crying while beating his head against the wall.

In that moment, I fell in love with him.

Unfortunately, I hardly ever get the chance to talk to him.

And I'm not making any progress.

So I know it's pathetic...

but I want you to help us get together!

M-Maybe it's too much to ask.

Sure. You can count on me.

Thank you! Thank you!

W-Well...

See you on Monday.

Oh, no.

MEAT WORLD CHICKEN KINGDOM

That was great, wasn't it?

Y-Yeah. Sure was.

What's wrong, Joro?

You haven't been yourself since this morning.

N-No, I'm fine.

Oh, right!

In that case...

Himawari power...

charge up!

What are you doing?

Knock it off, Himawari! People are staring!

That perked you right up!

What is it, Joro?

Nothing. Nothing at all.

Thank you, Himawari. You did cheer me up.

Really? All right!

SUN PARK

How was that?

Sheesh. You're like a little kid.

But...

I had a really good time today.

Thank you, Himawari.

Me, too.

Um, listen, Joro.

A-Actually, there's something I want to tell you.

Something you want to tell me?

That's right!

Um...

First, would you sit next to me?

Y-Yeah. Sure.

A-Actually, um...

there's someone I like.

R-Really?

When I think about him, my chest feels tight.
