00:00Hey Hiro, did you read the latest chapter of Tokisuku Magic Academy this month?
00:05Of course I did. Lily was awesome, right? I'm Hiro Ogawa, a high school freshman.
00:12I'm a hardcore nerd. I'm passionate about manga and anime, just like my buddy Kimura Haru.
00:19Our friendship began on the day of the entrance ceremony, when we noticed that we both had keychains featuring the magician Lily from the obscure manga
00:28Tokisuku Magic Academy. We hit it off instantly, even though we were in different classes, and became best friends like no other.
00:38That expression was the best. No doubt her fanbase has grown after that.
00:44Yeah, Lily was beyond amazing. I totally get it. I love Lily so much it hurts my heart.
00:53What if I dressed up as Lily and went to school?
00:56Hiro, you'd cross-dress? Seems like they'd allow it in this school.
01:02True, our school is super laid back when it comes to dress code.
01:07At our school, you can choose between uniforms and casual wear, plus both guys and girls can pick between pants or skirts.
01:16You want to try cosplaying next time for real?
01:19Uh, the teachers will definitely be pissed.
01:23Oh yeah, I forgot about that. But I'm really interested in cosplay.
01:28Actually, I am too. I follow some cosplayers on social media.
01:34Then let's give it a shot at the next event!
01:38Seriously, let's do it! I'm all in!
01:41Tomorrow's weekend, so wanna go shopping?
01:44Sounds nice! Let's check out costumes, wigs, and maybe get some merchandise.
01:50Alright, well then.
01:52Sorry, gotta take this call.
01:54Hello?
01:55My sweet little brother! It's an emergency! Can you get some rubber for me?
02:01What?
02:03If I don't have this, it'll be a disaster! None of these are any good!
02:08What? What's this all of a sudden?
02:11I'm counting on you, my sweet little brother! You're my only hope!
02:17She's calling me for this kind of thing? Must be really urgent.
02:22But rubber? She meant that rubber, right?
02:28Fine, I got it. I'll hurry back.
02:31What's going on?
02:33Sorry, Haru. Something came up, so I have to go home for a bit.
02:36Wait up, Hiro!
02:39Sorry, we'll talk about the cosplay thing later. I'm really sorry!
02:44Um, I need rubber. Well, there's so many types. I'll just grab this one for now.
02:51I know what I need, but this feels so embarrassing.
02:54Let's just get this done quickly. I'll take these.
02:58What?
03:01Telling me to get home ASAP, huh? Geez, why is she rushing me like this?
03:06Alright, alright, I'm heading back now.
03:09No way!
03:10And so I hurried back home.
03:15Geez, Hiro, what's this?
03:20You seriously got these for me, didn't you?
03:24Huh? Isn't this what you wanted?
03:27I asked for hairbands, not these, silly!
03:31You making such a mix-up. You're adorable, Hiro.
03:35You said it was an emergency!
03:38I was doing my workout and my hairband snapped!
03:41I can't exercise with hair in my face, you know?
03:44I get it, but...
03:46Since my last hairband broke, I urgently needed one!
03:50I don't want to work out with my hair getting in the way.
03:54Your wording was confusing!
03:56Your inner nerd is showing, Hiro.
04:01I'm going to bed. Goodnight!
04:06You should take that rubber with you.
04:10Don't need it. Goodnight!
04:13I'm glad Haru didn't see that.
04:16I'll apologize properly for what happened yesterday.
04:20The next day.
04:21Sorry I'm a bit late.
04:23No worries. Didn't wait long.
04:26But seriously, I'm really sorry about leaving early yesterday.
04:30It's okay, I don't mind.
04:33What's up?
04:34Huh? What do you mean?
04:36You seem kinda jittery.
04:38It's nothing! Just excited for the cosplay!
04:42Got it, got it. I'm pumped too. Let's get going!
04:46Wow, there's so much stuff here!
04:48The quality's pretty high too!
04:51Beside Tokisuku, they've got...
04:54Run! Otaku does costumes too!
04:57There's so much! It's like stepping into a manga world!
05:02I'm getting overwhelmed by all the choices!
05:05Hm? Is Haru looking at something?
05:08Wait, is that... a girl's costume?
05:12Oh cool! They've got stuff for guys too!
05:15Some guys like dressing up as female characters, right?
05:18I wonder if Haru's into that.
05:21Hey Haru, they've got costumes for guys too!
05:23Wanna try one on?
05:25Huh? N-no, I mean... that's...
05:29They've got lots of options!
05:31Check it out! There's Lily's costume and also Ran's!
05:35Oh! Lily is cute!
05:38But I mean... I'm a guy...
05:41Maybe Lily's too cute?
05:43Then how about Ran's?
05:45Alright, go ahead and try it on!
05:47I'll try something on too!
05:49You won't know until you give it a shot!
05:51Hey, don't push me!
05:53C'mon, hurry up!
05:56Wonder how Haru's gonna look like in that outfit?
05:59Still not done?
06:01Um, this is kinda tricky to put on...
06:04It's not exactly easy...
06:06If it's too hard, want some help?
06:08Huh? No, it's okay! I'll get it soon!
06:11So... how do I look?
06:14Does it suit me?
06:16To be honest, he really does suit better than I expected!
06:21It's kinda cute!
06:22It's, um... surprisingly, it suits you quite well!
06:28You suggested it, didn't you?
06:30You better take a good look!
06:32Uh, yeah, it suits you... really well!
06:36Why am I getting so nervous around Haru?
06:39Haru's my best friend! And a guy!
06:42I mean, if he looks this cute in Lily's costume...
06:46Whoa, whoa, snap out of it!
06:48Haru's a guy, okay?
06:51What's with the head shaking all of a sudden?
06:54Huh? Uh, it's nothing, really...
06:57Heh, you're acting weird, Hiro!
07:00So, what do you think of the costumes?
07:03These are nice, but I want something of even higher quality!
07:08Well, why don't we make our own?
07:11It'd show more dedication, right?
07:14Yeah, that way it'd have more heart put into it!
07:18Let's do it together!
07:20But is it okay? I haven't done anything like this before...
07:25Don't worry! I'm pretty skilled at it!
07:27Let's go to the craft store!
07:30Man, we got some dope stuff today!
07:32Next weekend, let's craft costume and accessories at my place!
07:37Hey, Haru, don't walk like that! It's sketchy!
07:40No, it's fine!
07:41Gotten better moves than you think!
07:44I'm not talking about your skills!
07:46If you fall, you could get hurt!
07:48I won't screw up that bad, I promise!
07:51Come on, seriously! Even if you slip and fall...
07:55Like I said, I'm fine!
07:58Haru!
08:01Ouch!
08:03Told you!
08:05Sorry! You alright?
08:07I'm fine, but...
08:09Whoa, he's so close!
08:12Why am I heart pounding like this, even though we're both guys?
08:16I'm really sorry!
08:18No big deal, I'm fine!
08:20No injuries!
08:21But really sorry, Hiro...
08:24Your body's not just yours, you know?
08:27What's that supposed to mean?
08:29No need to play dumb, I know!
08:32Know what?
08:33Well, you got a girlfriend, right?
08:36Girlfriend?
08:38Wait, no, I don't...
08:40What are you saying?
08:42You do know that I'm only into anime characters, right?
08:45No, no! It's not like that!
08:48Wait, then what was that?
08:52Uh, what's wrong?
08:54It's nothing!
08:56Anyway, don't forget we're working on costumes next weekend!
09:00On the weekend!
09:01So I'll handle the costumes, Hiro!
09:04You take care of the accessories!
09:06Got it!
09:07Just pour your heart into it, we'll be fine!
09:09Boom!
09:11Yeah!
09:12So, he said that, but...
09:15Man, making accessories is tougher than it looks!
09:18I'm clumsy as heck!
09:21But compared to me, Haru's pumping out costumes like a pro!
09:25Impressive!
09:27I can't let myself lose!
09:29Gonna craft some high-quality accessories!
09:32Ow!
09:33Hiro, what happened?
09:34You're okay!
09:36Uh...
09:37My finger, I cut it!
09:39Oh, this isn't good!
09:45What's he...
09:46All right, this should do it.
09:48Ow!
09:49Sorry!
09:50I was trying to stop the bleeding like I do for myself, my bad!
09:54Sorry, I really didn't mean it!
09:57I'm grabbing the antiseptic right now!
10:01Come on, Haru's a guy!
10:03Why...
10:04Why am I getting so worked up?
10:07And so, during days off and after school,
10:10me and Haru worked on our cosplay costumes together.
10:14Making accessories was tough, but with Haru, it was super fun!
10:20The event was just around the corner.
10:22However, as we were nearing completion of our costumes,
10:26we ran out of materials and decided to go shopping after school.
10:30We're almost there, huh?
10:32Excited for the event!
10:34Hey, Hiro, there's something I want to check with you.
10:38Check with me?
10:40Well...
10:42Hiro, what are you guys up to?
10:45Oh, didn't expect to see you here!
10:48Whoa, don't just jump on me like that!
10:51Huh?
10:53You're blushing even though I always do this!
10:56But oops!
10:57Shouldn't have done this in front of your friends, my bad!
11:01Oh, by the way!
11:03Thanks for grabbing those rubbers the other day!
11:05Gotta admit, they come in handy!
11:08And we can use them together, you know?
11:11Hold up, no need to bring that up right now!
11:14Is she trying to spill the beans about my cringy past with Haru?
11:18She's still a total meanie!
11:21Using them... together?
11:23Hiro, you big fat liar!
11:27Haru?
11:27Thought you said you didn't have a girl, huh?
11:30Turns out that was all a lie!
11:33Hold on a sec!
11:34Liar, liar!
11:35Hiro, I can't stand you!
11:38Wait, Haru!
11:39Haru, hold up!
11:41Shut up and stop following me!
11:44Seriously, what's the deal with the liar stuff?
11:47Cause you had a girlfriend!
11:50Ow!
11:51Haru, you okay?
11:53Don't touch me!
11:55Haru...
11:56Why'd you lie?
11:58I was planning to confess after graduation!
12:02Confess?
12:03Wait, you're saying...
12:05You're a girl, Haru?
12:07Yeah, that's right.
12:08Got a problem with it?
12:10Calm down!
12:11But seriously, why are you calling me a liar?
12:15I've liked you for so long, Hiro!
12:18I believed you when you said you didn't have a girlfriend!
12:22Hiro, you liar!
12:25Haru!
12:26Since then, I lost contact with Haru.
12:30Our school is pretty big, and with different classes,
12:33it's hard for us to meet outside of school hours.
12:37I tried to find her somehow and talk to her,
12:40but she's been ignoring me.
12:42The event is coming up soon,
12:44and we still haven't finished our costumes.
12:47Time has just been passing by,
12:50and nothing has changed.
12:52Is this just going to be slipped under the rug?
12:55I don't want that!
12:57And being apart,
12:59I've realized how much Haru means to me.
13:02She's been the one who's brightened up my life.
13:05But how do I convey these feelings?
13:09I've got it!
13:11And then, the day of the event arrived.
13:14Haru, Haru!
13:16Hiro, what's up?
13:17What do you want?
13:18Without you in my life, I can't be happy!
13:21You're the woman of my dreams!
13:24That's a line from Tokisuku when Lily was confessed.
13:30You're the star that makes me shine!
13:32Please don't plunge my life into darkness!
13:35I want to walk in the light of happiness with you!
13:38I love you, Haru.
13:40I love you!
13:42But Hiro, you have a girlfriend, right?
13:46Check this out!
13:49Sorry for the misunderstanding!
13:51Can you hear me?
13:53My little brother asked me to record this.
13:55I'm Hiro's sister, not his girlfriend!
13:58Besides, I have a boyfriend, so relax!
14:02If you want proof, let's go on a double date when you guys become a couple!
14:06So, has the misunderstanding cleared up?
14:09Good luck to both of you!
14:12So, it was all a misunderstanding!
14:15That was my sister!
14:17But, you sure it's okay with me?
14:20I'm not very girly, you know?
14:23That's not true, Haru!
14:25You're the most adorable girl in the world!
14:29Take this!
14:30This is the hairpin Lily received during her proposal!
14:34Where did you...
14:36I made it, cause I wanted you to have it!
14:39I think this suits you, Haru!
14:41No matter what you or others say, you're a princess!
14:46You're my precious, the most adorable princess in the world!
14:51Hiro!
14:52I love you, too!
14:53I love you so much!
14:55So, when I saw you buying that... thing...
14:58I thought you had a girlfriend!
15:01You saw that?
15:03Actually, right after we split up, I went shopping, too, so...
15:08Oh, so the reason you were fidgety when we met later was cause of that?
15:14Yeah, I never expected you to buy that, so I wanted to ask about it, but I didn't know how!
15:22Yeah, that was a misunderstanding!
15:25I mixed up a hairband and... that.
15:28Clumsy, aren't you?
15:30There's no denying that!
15:32But still, Haru, why do you like me?
15:36Back in middle school, I was teased cause of my geek hobbies!
15:39Even so, I loved my interests, and I hoped to make new friends when I entered high school!
15:45That's when you started talking to me, Hiro!
15:48I was so happy that we became friends!
15:51But Hiro, you always said you're all about anime characters and seem uninterested in real girls, so...
15:58So I thought, let's just keep it this way during our school days,
16:03and muster up the courage to confess after graduation!
16:07So that's why you've been cross-dressing?
16:10Sorry for deceiving you.
16:13But you know, it's not really cross-dressing!
16:15I just prefer comfy clothes!
16:18I also bound my chest cause I wanted to wear various outfits.
16:22Having a big bust doesn't work with many clothes, you know.
16:26Being a girl is tough.
16:29I'd kind of given up on ever looking good in cute clothes.
16:34That's why I got good at sewing, to modify stuff.
16:38But, well...
16:40You still like me, even like this, right?
16:44Of course I love any version of you!
16:46Besides, you can rock any cute outfit!
16:50I love you too, Hiro!
16:52And so, me and Haru embarked on our relationship.
16:57After that, me and Haru successfully participated in a cosplay event.
17:02We both got completely hooked on the fun of cosplay.
17:06And once that happened, there was only one thing to do.
17:10We started our cosplay journey together!
17:14Thank you very much!
17:16No, thank you!
17:19Um, Haru, are you upset about something?
17:23Hiro, someone approached you again!
17:26Even though you're my boyfriend!
17:28I'm sorry, but you're the only one for me, Haru.
17:33Do you really think so?
17:36Absolutely!
17:37I swear it with my life!
17:40Is that a proposal?
17:41Oh, yeah!
17:44Not right away, but someday!
17:46Let's definitely get married!
17:49Well then, Hiro, no more wandering eyes, okay?
17:54I won't look at anyone else!
17:56Because Haru, you're the cutest in the world!
18:00I love you, Haru!
18:02I love you too, Hiro, my love!
18:11I'm super happy if you watch the next and other videos too!
