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

Suzuki! Morning!

Oh, Azuma. Morning!

Your plushie's from that movie, isn't it?

That's right! Fluffy-chan.

Who'd you go with?

Nabe? Sato?

Well, um...

Tani-kun.

Huh? Why Tani?

We're dating.

You're what?! You didn't say anything!

I sort of forgot to!

Tell me this stuff, you moron!

Wait, how? And when?

Super recently.

How did it happen?

Um...

Who made the first move?

That would be...

Was it blackmail?

Listen to what I'm saying.

~ EXPLANATION SCENE OMITTED ~

Whoa, seriously? For real?

I can't tell what kind of reaction that is.

The good kind.

I'm super jealous. Just, you know, that hit dealt some major damage. It's exhausting.

Um, thank you?

And, Suzuki, you're super composed about it all. That surprised me.

Me? Not Tani-kun?

If you want to fall in love with a decent person,

you yourself need a level of respectability.

Did something happen?

If only my boyfriend had been like Tani.

He suddenly stopped texting, and I wondered if he'd ghosted me,

but the truth was that he got thrown in juvie. Ta-da!

But it's not the kind of thing that normally happens, right?

Awesome, right? I wish him much happiness.

Nope. That normally doesn't happen.

* JUVIE = JUVENILE DETENTION

Taira, do you watch movies and stuff?

I like movies, but audiences...

It's like a gacha pull, so I'm not a fan.

Gapacho said the same thing.

I wanna go see the one with the witch and the fluffy guy.

You don't seem the type.

But still, you know?

Oh, that's Suzuki's voice.

I mean, I don't know, but I think it depends on the person, right?

She's so loud.

No, really. I only ever fall in love with scum.

Whenever I get that "oh, my!" as a first impression, the guy's always scum.

It's first thing in the morning. What are you talking about?

We're talking about how Azu can find herself a happy romance.

I just don't get a yummy vibe from honest men.

Yeah, I think it's too late for her.

Girls seem to like thugs, right?

Pretty girls are more likely to date older delinquents.

What's up with that?

That's just your memories from middle school.

But, to be honest, when someone has a little bit of bad in their aura, it's kinda cool,

SUDAKEN

and I totally understand being attracted to them!

Suzuki, you do love your SudaKen, don't you?

So basically, in the end, you're just choosing people based on a hierarchy.

GA HA HA

The HIERARCHY

You're not looking at what's inside a person. You're looking at their position.

You want to be someone who's dating someone in the top group,

and you want to brag about being with that person.

SudaKen makes my heart race!

It's so stupid.

There you go again.

Hey, Suzuki! Should you be saying stuff like that?

Tani's here.

What?!

SLOW

SLOW

SLOW

SLOW

Tani-kun! Good morning!

Morning.

She's an idiot.

Tani-kun, did you hear that just now?

I heard it, but I'm not going to get worried over every little thing.

Wow. Suzuki's adorable.

I think her entertainment factor wins out.

So do I.

Huh? What? What do they mean?

Oh.

Those two are dating.

BLABBERMOUTH

What?!

Huh? Wait, why is everyone acting normal?

They're accepting it so easily,

but the first thing they thought had to be...

"Suzuki, are you really fine with Tani?"

Because, I mean, Tani is...

OUTLIER

SUZUKI WITH FRIENDS

SudaKen makes my heart race!

There you go again.

SudaKen makes my heart race!

Nope.

Does he even exist?

I want someone who takes the lead, someone who's just a little forceful...

I want someone who takes the lead...

Suzuki's ideal and her reality are just too far apart, aren't they?

A music video with a ton of strong men in it is the best, right?

Sup! Morning, Tani!

Good morning.

And how are you able to act like you've always been friends?

Is that from the movie?

Mine's over here!

Stop wafting hints this way!

HA HA

WAFT?

Waft?

Oh, that's right! Suzuki, what about pictures?

W-We didn't take any!

Definitely a lie.

A photo?

Tani-kun, shh!

What? I wanna see!

Show me! Show me!

No, stop! Stay away!

Wow. For real?

YOU AND I ARE POLAR OPPOSITES

Ugh, it's so hot.

Vending machine...

Hey! Sup, Taira!

Sup.

Sorry, if you're after a Reality Gold Strong, I just got the last one.

I don't drink junk like that.

What? But it's so good, though.

Hey, Suzuki...

Why Tani?

Huh?

SHUDDER

"You should pick me"?

No, nothing like that. And don't shudder.

It's just, Suzuki...

YAY

Unlike happy-go-lucky types like Yamada or Watanabe,

you're always reading the room.

You worry about what other people think, right?

BULLSEYE

That's what you think of me?

Dating someone who's that different from you... It's unexpected.

To be honest, I've always worried about it.

Balancing with everyone around me,

wondering what people think of me...

But maybe it's because I'm like this that the opposite...

That someone like Tani-kun, who never wavers in who he is, looks cool to me.

Um, so...

Well...

It'd take another two hours to really tell you about my love. Is that okay?

Spare me. The excess sugar would make me vomit.

Sitting by the window...

is so hot.

Ta-da!

I've always wanted to do that!

Did I surprise you?

You surprised me.

Really, though?

That's that thing couples do all the time!

TOUCH

I bought drinks. Which do you want?

A Strong mini?

Why are they both Reality Golds?

This one.

Of course.

How much was it?

You don't need to pay me back!

But...

Seriously, you're so conscientious.

It pains me, but I can't help overhearing.

In that case... three yen!

It's not a grocery bag.

Don't they just get along so well?

Hey, Suzuki, you're back!

What is that?

The sports drink I froze won't melt,

so I'm going around hitting it on harder stuff.

Please don't do stuff like a god of destruction.

Suzuki!

What is it now?

Show me your homework!

Again? You've been asking too much lately. Do it yourself!

Tani?

STARE

Stop it!

So, you're not gonna ask me?

I mean, I've done it, but...

They're already using him for their own ends.

It won't help you. Are you okay with that?

It would totally save me.

You nitwit! Take a hint!

Suzuki is really looking at Tani.

And everyone around her sees it as her choice, so they don't reject it.

Give it! Give it to me!
