00:00I'm Naoto Ogawa a 17 year old nerd and a student at Koiwa High
00:05I'm aiming to be a playwright and spending my days studying. I see this kind of theme is interesting
00:12Hey, hey
00:14Manga can be pretty useful, huh?
00:17Hey, don't ignore me
00:19What I'm kind of busy right now
00:22Don't give me that you're just reading manga you nerdy loser. If you're not busy go buy me some bread
00:28No way, why do I have to that right? There is my classmate Mari a Fukuda
00:35She's the flashiest girl in school and has quite a fan club among some of the guys
00:40But she's got a bit of a personality issue
00:43If that's the case, shall I go buy it for you in return? Will you hang out with us?
00:51Excuse me. Seriously, you guys are annoying. I'm not your babe, you know
00:58Sorry for bothering you
01:01geez
01:03As you can see, she's got an incredibly sharp tongue
01:07Normally, there'd be no connection between a flashy girl and a nerd like me
01:11But for some reason she's always getting on my case and there's a reason for that
01:17I'm home
01:22If you cling to me I can't even take off my shoes
01:26But I was lonely, you know
01:29Maria and I are fiancees arranged by our parents in reality. We're living together like this
01:36Maria's mom is a well-known actress that everyone knows
01:39Maria inheriting that bloodline was a child prodigy actress from a young age
01:44By chance, I was also a member of the same theater troupe
01:48But with few child actors Maria and I became close friends right away
01:53She's like a real angel
01:55Maria, I love you. I love you, too. Now tell let's get married. Oh my how delightful
02:03Seeing that Maria's mom suggested that we become fiancees and to my surprise my parents were totally on board with it
02:12Afterward upon graduating from middle school Maria's parents decided to move their base of operations overseas
02:19Although we had discussed studying abroad
02:22Maria wanted to stay in Koiwa City
02:24Considering the dangers of young people living alone and with the wishes of both sets of parents
02:29It was decided that I'm as her fiance would live with her
02:37Aren't you a little too different from when you're at school
02:44Is that so you're mean being a toxic tongue characters to ward off guys, you know
02:52Actually, I'm just a girly girl who loves frilly clothes. I know your hobbies pretty well
02:58Sorry, what I said earlier was a joke
03:02But seriously, you're a completely different person at school
03:07It's a brilliant performance, isn't it?
03:09The key is to have a cold gaze like when you see a pest it looks like a new door is about to open
03:15for someone
03:17By the way, if it's okay to talk about being fiance's with everyone that I don't need to put on that act, you know
03:24That's sorry, but I
03:27Just kidding. Even that was just an act, you know
03:30Well, it's nice this way a secret love kind of feels like Romeo and Juliet. Don't you think?
03:36Guess I made her feel a bit uneasy. I wish I could confidently say we're engaged though
03:43Well, the character is fine as it is. But what about the outfit?
03:47Huh? What about it?
03:50I mean, couldn't you be a bit more low-key like maybe it'll avoid some misunderstandings, you know, I
03:57Don't care how others perceive me except for you now toe
04:01but
04:02It's all good. You should know the reason why I dress like this, right?
04:06well, that is
04:08The reason it's still that thing, huh?
04:12On a certain day as the school festival drew near
04:16Our class has decided on a theater performance now. We just need to assign the roles
04:22Yeah, yeah, I'll take the lead. I mean I'm aiming to be an actor, you know
04:28This guy's Chato Yabasugi a handsome dude known for his wild love affairs
04:34And for the heroine role, I think Maria would be perfect
04:38Huh? Why me? Oh
04:41That's a great idea
04:43With Charo and Maria will definitely attract an audience. I
04:48Never said I want to do it. Don't just decide without asking me
04:52Sorry, um
04:55Well, let's decide on the rest another time. All right
05:01After dinner that day
05:03Phew
05:04Thanks for the meal. It was really delicious
05:07Really? I'm glad to hear that
05:10But I feel bad always leaving everything to you, how about we take turns cooking
05:16No way. I want to take care of you now. So no matter what
05:20Nah, I can't just leave everything to you like that
05:24It's fine. It's like bride training or something, you know
05:28What wait bride?
05:31Yeah
05:32Once we graduate high school, I'll be a bride, right?
05:35We'll live in a house with a red roof have a big white dog
05:39Oh, and of course, we'll have a daughter in two sons every Saturday
05:43We'll go on dates and on Sundays. We'll have family tea time in a spacious garden
05:47We'll serve cat-shaped cookies. We made with the kids surrounded by lots of flowers
05:53Wait, she's such a romantic
05:55Well, you know don't overdo it nowadays household chores should be shared by both partners, you know
06:02Does that mean you're also thinking of our future marriage now, too
06:07Nah, it's nothing like that. Just stating the general idea. Oh
06:12Come on, don't lie. Tell me your future predictions and uh, I'm busy right now
06:18Don't say that. Come on pay attention to me. You said before that guys who read manga are lame, remember?
06:28You're mean I don't think that at all
06:32Hey about what happened during the day
06:35You're talking about the heroin bill. I already said I'm not doing it. I mean theater is not my thing anymore
06:41While I quit the theater troupe early on due to lack of acting talent
06:46Maria kept at it until just before middle school, but apparently during her time in theater
06:51She was burdened with high expectations. Thanks to her mother's influence
06:55Unable to bear that pressure any longer Maria made the decision to leave the stage
07:00But the moment she quit acting Maria's mom stopped paying attention to her
07:05Not sure if she's not interested in her daughter now that she's not an actress or if there's some other reason
07:11Can't really tell I guess Maria dresses flashy to catch her mom's attention
07:17Everyone's only interested in the actress version of me
07:21That ain't true. I'm sure your mom
07:24It's okay. I get it. You're so kind now toe
07:28That look again, she must feel lonely
07:30I hope I can help them reconcile and I want Maria to rediscover her love for acting
07:37The reason I aim to be a stage writer is because I wanted her to perform on my script someday
07:43Hey now tell you're different, right?
07:48To resolve everything it's gotta be
07:52With you now till I can be my true self. That's why I hey
07:56How about trying out the heroine role?
07:59What I want to see you on stage again, Maria
08:04Well, why would you say something like that? I thought you were on my side
08:08Screw you now Joe. Oh
08:11Hey, I
08:13Messed up, but deep down Maria loves acting right since then things became awkward between Maria and me
08:21Uh-huh
08:23Guess I gotta talk to her properly again
08:25Hey, Maria, you got a moment now
08:28No, I'm doing some plushie maintenance in my room. Oh
08:33Wait a sec. Uh
08:35She didn't have to dodge me so blatantly
08:39Meanwhile at school
08:40Hey, Maria got something to talk about
08:44Huh? I don't have the time for your chat. Don't get in my way
08:49Deep it's sorry
08:52Exactly the look she gives to pests and this must be the cold gaze. She talked about a
08:57few days later
08:59Now, let's decide the roles for the play
09:03Wait, can I say something?
09:06What is it Maria?
09:08About the heroine. Well, I can do it if you want
09:12Really? That'd be a huge help
09:15Wow what brought about this change of heart
09:19Nothing special just a whim, you know
09:22Well, don't be shy. Come on deep down. It's all for my sake right after all I'm the main character
09:29You're so off and it's really getting on my nerves
09:34You're scary
09:36Even if she says that I'm sure she did it cuz I asked. Thanks, Maria
09:41then I'll a
09:43Committee chair, I'd like to write the script for the play. Is that okay?
09:48Huh, if no one else wants to do it, I guess it's fine
09:52All right now Joe. Can you really write an original script just so you know, I'm the main character. So don't embarrass me
09:59All right
10:00Don't worry. I've been studying script writing for a while now. So I think I can come up with a good one
10:07Actually, I'll show you what I got. Oh
10:10Oh, you're pretty confident, huh? Well, then I'm looking forward to it
10:16After that, I was totally immersed in writing the script at home and even at school
10:21Wait for me Maria. I'm gonna make this place super awesome for sure
10:28Thanks to that Maria and I ended up with way less time together and
10:32Then a week later. I did it. Whoo-hoo
10:37Heart pounding Koiwa blue mountain
10:40It's a story about an angel who comes down to Koiwa City and falls in love keeping her identity hidden
10:46Now, let's see how the class reacts and make some adjustments
10:50The next day I had my classmates read it and the response was pretty good. Now. We officially started rehearsing for the play
10:59That was amazing
11:01Marie you're such a pro at acting
11:04Mm. No, I think it's normal
11:08Hey, hey, did you all catch my mind-blowing performance? Awesome, right? I got too much talent man
11:15Marie, can I ask you about acting?
11:19If I can help sure
11:22One night, huh? It's already late. Ah
11:26The taste of this coffee is shared with you. I'll never forget
11:30Hmm maybe I should put even more feelings into this part
11:36She's working so hard practicing till this late. Thanks. Maria. I hope that other thing works out, too
11:42From then on the stage prep went smoothly on the day of the school festival
11:49You look so cute
11:51Am I in heaven right now or what?
11:55You're all exaggerating
11:58Marie looks gorgeous. No doubt the leading duo the school's prettiest boy and girl created a buzz and a stage was a big hit
12:06But halfway through the play. Oh

12:16Improv there was no such line in the script. Now. Let's share this passionate embrace
12:22Huh? What are you?

12:57You still want to continue? It's already a mess. Anyway, yeah, no kidding. You ruined the play Maria. You've embarrassed me
13:07Hey watch your mouth besides you screwed things up with that weird improv of yours. It's my own way of directing

15:17Okay, got it. If you say so, I'll give it my all and
15:22Right after that the play resumes
15:24Doing this together brings back memories of when we used to do plays as kids feels kind of nostalgic

15:33Something funny. Nah, it's just that I'm happy to stand on stage with you
15:39I'm
15:40super happy to
15:42The play goes smoothly from there
15:45But the original ending where the heroine confesses her love to the protagonist and returns to heaven takes an unexpected turn
15:52Hey, remember we used to spend time together like this back then
15:57That line wasn't in the script. Could this be an improv? I've loved you ever since that time
16:04Back then at that moment. I fell in love with you
16:08And my feelings haven't changed my heart's still pounding for you
16:15Really? We were in this together cuz I fell in love with you back then, too

16:25Feel like I'm starting to love theater all over again
16:28Glad to hear that. I love seeing you enjoy being on stage
16:33Though it was a bit different from the script the play ended with a huge bang
16:36and after the play
16:39No, wait, mom. Why?
16:42Actually, I secretly invited her wanted you to to reconcile
16:48Okay, I'm so sorry for all the pain I caused you I put you through so much
16:55mom, I
16:57Realized that the reason you quit acting was because of me
17:02That's why I thought it would be best for us to live abroad together
17:05But you turn that down too. I thought being around me just reminded you of acting so
17:11You actually worried about me all this time
17:15Of course
17:16You're my precious child
17:19You're acting today was absolutely fantastic
17:23Thanks, mom
17:25Phew, I'm glad I guess they've made up now

17:30After that incident at the play word spread throughout the school and shadow has become completely quiet on the other hand
17:38Marie now that everyone knows she's my fiancee has retired her sharp-tongued flashy girl persona and now
