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

Where shall we go this autumn?

And so, after school, I'll be going with Tani-kun to get a sweet potato parfait!

You're forcing that fall feeling.

I'm happy to go on a date in our uniforms!

But you two are always walking home together, aren't you?

No, no.

This is our first time riding a train together in our uniforms!

We usually walk home together, yes, but today is a date.

Wait, you're taking a train just for potatoes?

PotatoTrain.

And while we're out, if luck is on my side...

I want to take some photo stickers.

IN OUR UNIFORMS...

FLOWERS IN A MIRROR, MOON ON THE WATER

A photo sticker printing booth.

When you first started dating, taking a photo together was impossible.

THIS IS... GROWTH(?)

Photos take getting used to, and I've kinda given up, in a way,

but I've always liked taking photo stickers. Plus...

I'm super cute with all those filters.

PHOTO

STICKER

How dignified and bold.

Don't give up on the real live Suzuki.

YOU AND I ARE POLAR OPPOSITES

Potato! Potato! Sweet potato!

Potato! Potato! Sweet potato!

Potato! Potato! Roasted sweet potato!

Oh, hey! Suzuki and Tani are at the train station.

Hey! Azu!

Oh, my. Could this be one of those school uniform dates?

How nice for you!

How nice for you...

You said it twice!

For now, let's all take a picture together.

Yay!

So suddenly?

Tani looks displeased.

What?

No, I don't.

I was wondering why, because we see each other at school, that's all.

But it's a different situation, right?

It's like a diary entry, or making a note, right?

Yeah, that's right.

Photos are an external hard drive for memories!

When I look back at it, I want to remember that this day was our first date,

that we had a lot of fun, that my heart was racing... stuff like that.

Like a keepsake. You know?

COMPREHENSION

I see.

Right?

That was enough to convince him?

HOW FUNNY

BOOM

SWEET POTATO!!

Yay! It's so cute!

I'll take one with you in it, Tani-kun. Make some kind of pose.

A pose?

Hand powers?

This is good!

PRETEND GOURMET REPORTING

It's super sweet potato-y, but not too cloying.

It's the sweetness of happiness!

It's so good!

MELTYYYY...

CHOMP...

What? Wait, did you just take a photo?

I just know I was making a weird face! Oh, no!

I thought we wanted to save our memories for later.

I don't want any weird photos of me on your phone.

What? That's so self-centered.

True.

Say, Yuusuke-kun...

CUTESY...

I have one more self-centered request.

BOOM

Look at this one! Isn't it great?

I'm in love with this one!

I want to run away.

Yuusuke-san, have you ever participated in the act of printing photos as stickers?

I have not.

Are you okay with me picking one?

If one interests you, just say so!

You already know the answer, right?

I guess you caught me.

Okay, let's pose!

Make a heart!

Huh?

Three, two, one!

Make a cute kitty pose!

Kitty?

Three, two, one!

Huh?

Who's that?

Next, grab each others' chins, okay?

What?

Three, two, one!

There!

J-Just kidding!

All right! Now, next...

both of you, smile!

It's so hot.

It's hot in those photo sticker machines, right?

There's that too, but...

Thank you! I'm super happy!

What should I do with this?

I want to put it up in my room, but my mom will see it.

STICKER HIDING SPOT

I'll make an album with the photos and share it with you.

Thanks.

Oh, you added some, Tani-kun? Thank you!

SHOCK

Wait! Please delete this one!

Don't wanna.

The corrections didn't apply to Tani-kun at all, did they?

BECAUSE HE HAS GLASSES...

THE PROCESSING

It's too unbalanced, isn't it?

RAMEN

Manager, thank you.

Thanks!

HOW'VE YOU BEEN? LOL

A blast from the past! He's still alive?

Commentary

They dated for a while, but for some reason, he suddenly broke off contact.

This message is from an ex-boyfriend!

What's the "lol" for? Can't he say he's sorry?

Male pride is such a pain.

I guess it doesn't matter.

Doin' Good!

HOW'VE YOU BEEN? LOL

Doin' Good!

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

You know...

If someone you used to know well messages you after a long time,

your heart brightens for a moment,

but then you notice you don't click and it all feels like a drag.

And you think, "That's right. That's why it didn't work out,"

and come back to reality.

How many more times am I going to repeat this?

GLOOM...

Azu!

I can't sympathize at all.

Why do you let them get away with it?

I don't really get it, but let's overwrite it with fun stuff!

That straightforwardness of yours is a lifesaver!

Romance isn't all there is to school life.

That's right!

Let's all go bowling together!

Where'd that come from?

I want to go bowling.

Oh, it's just the mood you're in.

I want to throw something heavy.

I feel like the objective has changed.

WEEKEND

Then, on the weekend...

Azuma says her train's running a little late.

Okay, I'm taking it now.

Yay!

I thought that TairAzuma would come together.

Don't smash our names together like they're English.

HO-DON

TAIRAZUMA

But don't you get on at the same station?

You numskull!

If anyone from my neighborhood saw us meeting up at the station...

Azuma, what's going on?

What caused this particular combo?

Sorry to keep you waiting!

Hey, Azu!

Just thinking about it makes me break out in a cold sweat.

SHUDDER...

Tani-kun, is this your first time bowling?

I've only bowled once a really long time ago with a kids' group.

If there's anything you don't get, I'll teach you!

Incidentally, I hear the shoes are ugly as an antitheft measure.

Is that vital info?

They're huge.

Everyone, what's your average?

A hundred and eighty!

A hundred and seventy!

A hundred and thirty.

How dare you, Taira.

What?

If I hit a hundred, I feel pretty good.

Same.

And mine's fifty, so...

So you're the worst player.

Now then, I think fifteen should do.

Don't do the Ripper Cyclotron!

Taira, your reactions are so funny. It makes all the goofing around worth it.

Oh, shut up.

Yeah! Did you see that?
