2. The words used in shoujo manga and lyrics to love songs 3. Are sparkly and bright. 4. I don't need to look them up in a dictionary to understand what they mean, 5. But they're still foreign to me. 6. I still don't know what those words really mean

1. The leaves of the sakura trees have turned a deep green, 2. And I've grown used to the steep hill leading to the school gate 3. And my new uniform, 4. But I've left one thing from middle school unfinished. 5. "Yuu!"

1. "I'm part of the student council. My name is nanami touko." 2. "Pleased to meet you." 4. "...pleased to meet you."

"Oh..." 14. 14

1. "Oh, I've heard of her." 2. "Her name's Nanami." 3. "'Cool' is the only way I can describe her!" 4. "Even as a freshman, she was apparently more well-known than the student council president himself." 5. "She's really hard-working, is gorgeous, and is so nice!" 6. "You're pretty bold, following a boy to his high school..." 7. "I thought for sure you were talking about a guy because you called her cool." 8.

He always is, though." 13. "How's the basketball club working out for you on that front, Akari? Wait..." 14. "I thought we were finally going to talk about Yuu's love life." 15. "We haven't really done that before."

1. A boy confessed to me the day we graduated from middle school. 2. I haven't given him my answer yet. 3. I thought about talking to akari and koyomi about it, 4. But...

1. Could she... 2. "I have no intention of dating anyone, no matter who they may be."

1. "Would you like tea or coffee?" 2. "Oh, thank you." 3. "Tea, please." 6. "Yes, it's very pleasant, isn't it?" 7. "Looks like we need to buy some more sugar." 8. "This building is almost like a house." 9. "Thank you." 10. "Here's some for you too, saeki-senpai."

1. "Actually, the boy himself told me." 2. "...And how do you know about that, Sayaka?" 3. "Hey, Touko." 4. "Huh? What the heck..." 5. "My information network is very expansive." 6. "Is it true that someone confessed to you again?" 7. "I don't really appreciate them asking me half-heartedly like that. What if I actually said yes?" 8. "Oh, you never would." 9. "Being rejected by you doesn't embarrass them." 10. "They all did it because they had nothing to lose." 11. "I think you've rejected more than 10 people since we started high school." 12. "Was that really necessary?" 13. "T-that really happens?" 14. "Huh?!" 15. "You know, girls have confessed to her, too."

1. "Do you have" 2. "Some reason in particular for that?" 3. "A reason? I suppose..." 4. "It makes me feel a bit bad to say this," 5. "But no." 6. "Regardless of gender..." 7. "Have you been interested at all in any of the people who confessed to you?" 8. "You see, people tell me they love me," 9. "But never once has that made me feel anything in particular."

1. "Excuse me!" 2. "Um.." 3. "Does that mean-" 4. "Oh, a freshman! Want to observe us for a bit?" 5. "Come on in!" 6. "I'm interested in joining the student council..."

1. "Sorry to text you so late." 2. "I would really like to hear your answer." 3. "Can I call you tomorrow after school?"

1. "I would really like to hear your answer." 2. "Can I call you tomorrow after school?" 3. "Sorry to keep you waiting all this time. Sure, let's talk tomo"

1. "..." 2. "Um..." 3. "Yuu," 4. "Is something wrong?" 5. "No." 6. "It's nothing." 7. I'm sorry.

1. "She's not here yet..." 2. "Oh?" 3. "I feel stupid for rushing over here." 4. "But she's really the only person I can talk to about this..."

1. "Senpai." 2. "You're early, koito-san." 3. "That's excellent." 4. "Hmm?" 5. "Sayaka needed to do something at home, so she won't be here today." 6. "It's just the two of us..." 7. "...umm..." 8. "Um, senpai!"

1. "What did you think of that boy?" 2. "Oh, him?" 3. "The freshman who came to observe recently." 4. "He said he's going to start helping us regularly." 5. "Starting tomorrow." 6. "No! This isn't what I want to talk to her about!" 7. "But how do I even start?" 8. "I hope so too." 9. "I hope that will lighten your workload somewhat, Koito-san." 10. "That's great." 11. SFX: SLIP

1. "So if you need to talk, I'd be happy to listen." 2. "Oh, this is nothing." 3. "And luckily, we don't have much work to do today." 4. "I'm sorry I made you make tea, senpai!" 5. "Oh, thank you very much!" 6. "You look like you have something on your mind." 7. "Nanami-senpai..."

1. How to respond to a confession... 2. "I don't know him myself, though..." 3. "He must be quite serious about you, seeing how he was willing to wait an entire month." 4. "I'm not sure I can help you decide if you should date him or not." 5. "Oh, no..." 6. "I already decided to reject him." 7. "Huh?"

1. "I like him," 2. "But" 3. "I want to turn him down." 5. We were in the same class for three years straight. 6. And we hung out together after school. 7. We talked a lot, 8. We enjoyed being together. 9. So... 10. "There's something I want to talk to you about" 11. "After the ceremony."

1. When I read about love in books or hear about it in music, it's always bright and sparkly. 2. "Oh? I'm curious!" 3. I always admired it from afar, 4. But I also longed for the day I'd get to experience that light and floaty feeling, as if I'd grown wings. 5. I expected that to happen. 6. "Koito, I'm in love with you." 7. "Please go out with me!" 8. But...

1. "What? Nothing made me... It's just normal." 2. "...what" 3. "Made you want to go out with me?" 4. "I think you're special, koito." 5. "And I want us to have a special relationship." 6. "..." 7. "...can I have some time to think about it?" 8. My feet were still firmly planted on the ground.

1. It's okay. 2. I'm sure it's just taking my wings longer than usual to appear. 3. I'm sure 4. "I wanted to be able to say yes to him." 5. It won't be much longer... 6. "But I" 7. "Have no idea how it feels to think of someone as "Special.""

1. "Never once has that made me feel anything in particular." 2. "I thought you might be able to understand me, Nanami-senpai." 3. "So that's why~" 4. "But... I couldn't talk to my friends about this." 5. "It must have been hard for you to think you absolutely had to fall in love." 6. SFX: PAT

1. "You too, senpai?" 2. "I do love hearing about everyone else's love lives." 3. "It does sometimes make me feel like I'm odd." 4. "...I wonder if I'll be able to say it clearly like you do, senpai." 5. "Is it him?" 7. "!"

1. "You'll be fine." 2. "You'll be just fine." 3. "All you need to do is tell him how you really feel," 4. "Just like how he told you."

1. "Hello." 2. "You're fine just the way you are." 3. "...I see" 4. "I can't ... Right now." 5. "Thank you very much."

1. "...your answer." 2. "...so please..." 3. "Let me know" 4. "...I see." 5. "..." 6. "I'm sorry!" 7. "That's right." 8. "Thank you."

1. "Yeah, me too." 2. "Thank you."

1. "Thank you very much." 2. "I couldn't have done it without your help." 4. "Umm..." 5. "Senpai?"

1. "You said..." 2. "Yuu." 3. Hers, not mine, was a bit sweaty. 4. She was still holding my hand.

1. "...that's right." 2. "You don't think anyone will be able to make you feel that way?" 3. "...that you don't understand that special feeling, right?" 4. "...no." 5. "I don't think anyone can."

1. "Wah!" 2. "Nanami-senpai...?"

1. "Senpai," 2. "Aren't you" 3. "The same as me...?" 4. "No, I'm not." 5. "I think"

1. "I could fall in love with you." 2. I have no idea 3. What she's talking about.

1. The student council room is kind of out in the wilderness... 2. "Specifically, someone who can squash bugs!" 3. "Our student council is in need of capable people."
