It seems like Anju has been calling Yuu everyday lately
He told me that they’re just old friends
But I get the feeling that there’s a lot more to it than that.
I don't want to ask Yuu about her, and then have him think I’m jealous
But it’s really beginning to bother me
What should I do, Meiko.
Poor miki
Windy
Look, it’s getting late, just stop it, you need to go home now
Your parents are probably very worried about you
But, you.
Go on, just drop it and go home.
No. I’m not gonna leave
It’s over, I’m with Ryouko now
What did you say
You heard it right, it’s true, I’m with Ryouko now

ANJU’S FEELINGS

Okay, this is it, if I don't do it now, I might never get another chance, it’s gotta be today, for sure
Arimi’s late, I wonder what could be taking her so long
Maybe she just went a different way
Or could it be possible that she and Ginta had made up again?
It’s her
Wow, I can’t believe it
So you just hung up on him, and now It’s over?
have a heart. It was an honest mistake , you should just forgive him
Don’t you see? Being an honest mistake makes it even worse
By the way, I was talking with Tsutomu earlier today, and when I told him the news about you two having a fight, you should’ve seen how excited he got
That was a bad move
Arimi.
Now what do you want?
What? What do I want?
This is your last chance , so remember you’re a different person today
And what are you mumbling about, now
Arimi. I don't think you have any idea how much time and energy I spend chasing you
I doubt you’ve ever taken me seriously
And today I’ve come to make sure that that stops, I’m sick and tired of having this one-side love affair with you
Ginta and I have always been compared to each other ever since we were little
It’s time for you to make you final decision and let us know what your heart is truly feeling
It’s all up to you
Please listen , you just can’t choose Ginta, Arimi, you gotta choose me
Listen, Tsutomu
Yes
Arimi.
I’m so sorry, I can’t return your feelings, I just don't feel the same way you do
I’m really sorry
It’s so nice to have the chance to walk home together like this, we should do something special, it seems like I always have tennis and you have to go to work
Yeah, that’s true
Well, we have some time now, why don’t we stop and relax for a while
I’m sorry Miki, actually I already made plans , I gotta go somewhere right now
Really? Where?
Oh. I’m meeting with An.
She said she wanted to hear this CD, so she asked if I could bring it by
I told her if I had time I’d drop it off on the way home from school today
I see.
I’m sorry, maybe next time
Oh. Don't worry about it, yeah, we will do it next time
Anju, again?
They seem very close
Um… Yuu?
What?
What kind of friends would you way you and anju are
Oh. I’d say we are old friends
Yeah, you’ve told me that once before , what I mean is
I was just wondering how did you meet her?
I first met anju at school when we were both in the same 6th grade class
I met her just after I learned the truth about my father, I was very depressed
I was with drown, and had lost faith in everything , and at the time she was the only person I could talk to
Anju?
Hey. Anju. Wait up , wait for me
Her smile made me feel better
I guess I was lucky she was always there for me
You laughed, I made you laugh
Your heart is beating really hard . yuu.
I could listen to it forever
I think if it hadn’t been for her, I would’ve been completely lost
So then it sounds like anju was probably your first love?
Yeah, I guess you could say that
So then, that explains it
You’re not jealous are you miki?
No, of course I’m not jealous , why should I be
You know , you really are very, very, cute
Your face shows everything
You blush easily too
Yuu. Stop teasing me
I’m kind of late, I better go
You have to go right now
Yeah. But I’ll make it up to you next time, okay?
Okay
See you
He practically admitted it to me that anju was his first love
How can I not worry about that
That’s right, there isn’t any practice this afternoon
I completely forgot all about that
And I came all the way down here just so I could give this to him
Oh, arimi, hi.
I thought you were already gone
Well, I forgot something
So what are you doing way out here
Well. I just wanted to
Don’t worry , it’s got nothing to do with you
Gotta go, see you later
Arimi, wait.
Catch
I’m sorry about before
Oh, arimi.
Thank you for bringing me the CD
I want to listen to it as soon as I get home
You’re welcome , I’m sure you’re gonna like it, so I got you your very own copy
You are so nice
Yuu. Hey. Look, there are a couple of row boats down there
Can we go for a ride?
Yeah, I suppose , but it’s still winter
Won’t we be cold?
This is totally off season, but I’m surprised it’s really not so bad
In fact it’s actually kind of peaceful
See
Miki was a, let’s just say that Miki was a little bit bothered when I told her I was coming to see you today
I see
Maybe Miki doesn’t understand we’re just good friends
She’s a silly girl
I can take a one look at her face and tell you exactly that she’s thinking about
You seem very close,
Yeah, I guess
That’s good
One day, I’ll have a nice boyfriend too
I’m really glad we saw each other at the train station
Otherwise we never would’ve been able to spend time together like this
That’s true
I kind of feel like there’s a connection between us, don’t you think so?
Yeah, maybe there is
You know, whenever I get to spend time with you I always feel so calm
It’s been a long time since I feel this
Yeah, I know what you mean
When I’m with you, I feel this happiness just like I used to feel when we used to play together, when we were kids
It’s like in a dream, and it’s so perfect that I hope it never has to end, yuu.
Nice to see you, may I help you?
I came to get the weekly duty roster
Yes, of course, here you go
And thank you for doing such good work
Ah, Miss Akizuki
If you like to talk about the other day
Miss Akizuki
I wonder if Ginta read the note I gave him
Why couldn’t I just wait and tell him in person
I don't understand
That’s really not like me
Hey, who’s that guy
I don't know
That’s not our uniform
Ginta.
Arimi. I came straight over here, can we talk for a few minutes?
I suppose so
So tell me, what’s on your mind
You know, your message
Oh. So you read it then?
I just want to thank you for dropping it off
And I realize that I should be the one apologizing to you
I’m not very sharp and I guess I can be pretty ignorant sometime especially when it comes to women’s feelings
That’s true
If you look at what you did the other day, I was so embarrassed I didn’t know what to do
Please I’m so sorry
Forgive me but I just didn’t want to repeat the same awful mistake I’d made before
Arimi, you have to believe me, I don't want to play games or hide anything, the way I did with Miki
I wanted to be totally honest with my feelings
I know that I went a little too far, I’m truly sorry
I don't regret, telling you my feelings
But I guess I was more embarrassed than anything
You were?
With all the attention that I got, you probably never would’ve thought so in a million years.
But, the truth is, that it was all very superficial and totally meaningless to me
In my whole life I’ve never had anyone who really cared about me,
Arimi.
My whole life, I’ve been alone
You don't have to be anymore
Ginta.
Oh. Arimi.
Anju?
I wanted to come and see you today, because there’s something I need to tell you
And I can’t keep it inside anymore,
Okay, what’s on your mind?
It’s just, it’s hard
Because I love him.
I guess the truth is that I’ve been in love with Yuu as far back as the 6th grade
I know that you two are in love now, so I don't want to get in your way
I can’t let them go so it’s gonna have to be enough for me, just to hold my feelings for him in my heart, so I’m telling you, you don't have to worry
The two of you are happy together now, and I wouldn’t want to be the one to break it up
Should I believe her?
I’m sorry, I’ll just have to wait my turn
Just let me love him
How am I supposed to respond to something like this
Hello. Quite daydreaming and pay attention , you need to get more serious
If you don't you’ll be left behind, and you already have a lot to do
Study
What’s this?
Oh. It’s one of father’s architecture books
I had a feeling you might be interested in this one, so I brought it here for you
May I look?
Um-hum.
Amazing, every picture in this section was drawn free hand without ruler
Yuu is so cute, I wish I could see him every day
Oh, Yuu.
Mr. Matsuura
Mr. Matsuura
I was just wondering did you enjoy getting a chance to talk to my father at my party
Yes, it was a great opportunity to talk to someone so experienced
Well, he said that you were a great person, and he wanted to talk to you again sometime
He was actually very impressed with your enthusiasm
Huh, really?
Oh, yeah. You bet.
So anyway, Mr. Matsuura
Can I get less homework
No way, they have nothing to do with each other
No fair
You look kind of down
I feel fine today
So are you having trouble with your boyfriend again?
No.
He is a great looking guy, you know, girls are never gonna leave him alone
You’re wrong , Yuu is good looking, but he is not like that
Yeah, right
Geeze. I’ll never understand how some guys can do things when they know darn well that it’s gonna hurt the girl they love.
You’re all wrong about him
Well. Even if you don't care, it still bothers me
I really don't have any say so, but I don't like seeing you get hurt
You’re completely wrong about him
He isn’t anything like what you’re saying, he is nice
You’re wrong,
Stop saying bad things about him, can we talk about something else please, Kei?
Kei, wait.
So then it sounds like anju was probably your first love?
Yeah, I guess you could say that
Because I love him
Yuu and Anju. Alone together , I wonder if I should be worried
Yuu.

Please let me borrow Yuu for the day tomorrow
Huh? What should I do
Yuu and I were supposed to be going out on a date tomorrow
But the look on anju’s face
I just can’t say no
But how could I ever say yes

Marmalade Boy
A BITTER LOVE
I’VE LOVED YOU FOR A LONG TIME.
