- Today is graduation day.
- The 62nd ceremony.
- It's the day our middle school life ends.
- And the day my love story comes to an end.
- And the day my love story comes to an end.
- And the day my love story comes to an end.

- Sorry I'm late.
- SOMA.
- What? You're going to confess now, right?
- Yeah, but...
- Uh... well.
- SOMA, you're really going to confess like that?
- At least button up your shirt.
Page 3
- Uh, um!
- Tachibana-kun.
- Momose.
- Said they wanted to talk.
- Sorry, I was just about to go.
Page 4
- It's an important conversation, right?
- Go ahead, I'll wait here.
- But, still!
- It's fine, really.
- Okay, I'll be back, but don't leave without me.
- Got it.
- ...

- So that's the girl SOMA likes...
- She was cute, right? From class 3?
- She seems interested in SOMA too.
- It's definitely going to work out...
- They really suit each other.
Page 6
- ...Huh?
- Why am I crying?
- SOMA will notice.
Page 7
- I need to smile and congratulate him properly.
- But really,
- I managed to like someone.
- I tried for half a year.
Page 8
- Huh!
- ...No way! Really!? Who is it?
- Same class?
- Yeah, same class technically.
- Wow! Then it must be fun!
- But why tell me all of a sudden?
Page 9
- I wanted your advice, FUTABA.
- Me?
- I was wondering what kind of confession would make a girl happy.
- Hmm, let's see...
- You're the only one I can talk to about this, FUTABA.
Page 10
- I guess it should be romantic, right?
- What do you mean?
- Let's see...
- Like at a quiet shrine during a fireworks festival... or something.
- Or maybe after seeing the Christmas lights together, just as we're about to leave.
- Oh, but...
- The fireworks festival is already over.
- And Christmas is quite a while away.
Page 11
- Oh, I know! How about during the school trip?
- It's next month! In Kyoto! Kyoto!
- We could end up alone together during the group activities!
- That's so cliché.
- Oh, come on! That's what's great about it! We could get matching keychains as souvenirs!
- You don't get it, do you?
Page 12
- Well, if we don't think about the timing...
- I personally love the idea of a confession in an empty classroom after the graduation ceremony.
- But we're already in our third year, so it's better to act sooner, right?
- I don't know what high school will be like.
- Our time together is limited.
- ...so I think the school trip is a great idea!
- ...what do you think?
Page 13
- You probably think it's childish, don't you!
- Sorry, sorry.
- Even though it's about someone else,
- you think about it as if it's your own problem.
- Thanks, you've really helped me decide.
- ? If that's the case, then I'm glad.
- I should head home now. I'll figure out the rest myself.
- Yeah! Good luck! I'm cheering for you.

- He has someone he likes...
- I see...
- Well, I guess that's obvious.
- We're in our third year, and there are classmates who are dating.
Page 15
- I wonder if I managed to smile properly...
- Was I a good childhood friend?
- Cheering him on...
- Can I really do that...
- No, it's nothing...
- I told him I'd support him, but deep down, I was hoping he'd fail...
- I'm such a terrible person...
- I need to properly support him...
Page 16
- Alright, from here on out, we'll be moving as a group!
- Everyone, make sure to return to this spot by 4 PM!
- Hey, SOMA, wait a second.
- I've got the group covered, so feel free to leave whenever you want.
- ...thanks.
Page 17
- This is fine.
- Honestly, I wanted us to be in the same group.
- I was looking forward to it, but...
- But since SOMA is gathering the courage to confess, I have to support him properly.
- As childhood friends,
Page 18
- Before I knew it, I ended up enjoying every last moment!
- It's almost time to meet up, so let's head back.
- S-Sorry, SOMA!! I know I promised to help, but...
- I dragged you around all day...
- It's fine, really. I didn't actually call him out or anything.
- Are you really okay with this?
- I finally mustered the courage...
- Yeah, I guess so.
- Yeah, I guess it's not really okay, is it?
Page 19
- I'm sorry... I got a bit too excited and now...
- Hey, I'm just kidding!
- It's my fault for not bringing it up sooner.
- Besides, it's not like I can't confess anymore.
- But...
- It's a school trip...
- Even though...
Page 20
- Here, take this.
- Huh?
- Is this...
- You like that character, don't you?
- Thank you for listening to me.
- Did I ever mention that before?
- I didn't hear it directly, though.
- Because my mechanical pencil and bag keychain were of that character.
- I guess you like her, don't you?
Page 21
- Thank you!
- Maybe it's because we're childhood friends, but I feel like SOMA really sees me.
- He trusts me.
- He talks to me about important things.
- Whenever something happens, he always comes to me for advice.
- Even now, when he couldn't confess, it was SOMA.
- Yet, he's still so considerate, even preparing a thank you gift for me.
- He's always been kind like this, ever since we were kids.
- It's these qualities of SOMA's...
- ...that I love.
- But because of that, I understand.
- This is nothing more than a thank you.
- He'll give a different present to the person he loves.
Page 22
- Even though I know this,
- I can't help but smile.
- I shouldn't be thinking these things.
Page 23
- After that, there were events like the culture festival and Christmas.
- There was even the New Year's shrine visit.
- But in the end, SOMA never confessed.
- I should just go home.
- I don't know what kind of face to make when I see him.
Page 24
- Why are you trying to leave first?
- I told you to wait for me.
- SOMA!
- I mean, if you have a girlfriend, it would be awkward, right?
- Huh?
- Where's that girl from before?
Page 25
- I turned her down.
- What!
- Oh no, this is definitely bad.
- So I shouldn't be happy about this!
- I feel like I'm going to smile.
- Heartbreak...
- He turned her down...
- Even though SOMA is hurting from his own heartbreak.
- Huh?
- Wasn't it SOMA who confessed?
Page 26
- No, that was just a misunderstanding.
- What! Then the confession is...
- ...I'm about to do it now.
- ...In that case, I should probably head home first.
- Why did I feel so happy?
- Why couldn't I understand?
Page 27
- Graduation ceremony.
- FUTABA, you were the one who said it, right?
- Huh...
- An empty classroom.
- What do you mean by that...
- So...
Page 28
- The one I like is...
- Always...
- Only FUTABA.
Page 30
- Hey, don't cry!
- But...
- I always felt like I was just a childhood friend to SOMA.
- You even asked me for advice about your confession.
- It's because... I didn't want you to notice I liked FUTABA before confessing.
- I wanted to confess to you in a way that would be ideal for FUTABA.
- No... that's not it.
Page 31
- I was scared... of what would happen if you rejected me.
- What if we couldn't go back to being childhood friends?
- I wanted to look a bit cooler in your eyes.
- I listened to FUTABA's ideals and tried to get closer to that aspiration.
- Looking back, it's pretty embarrassing.
- Please hear me out again. I like you, FUTABA.
- Will you be my girlfriend?
Page 32
- Yes!
Page 33
- Today is the graduation ceremony.
- The day our middle school life comes to an end.
- And also...
- The day our love...
Page 34
- ...takes its first steps.
- I still can't quite get used to it.
- Yeah...
- ...the day it all began.
