00:00Here's how my typical day as Ryu Okada usually goes down.
00:05Hey, don't be so full of yourself, Mr. Big Shot.
00:09You might make a fool of yourself.
00:11You're gonna be the ones making fools of yourselves.
00:14You and your little crew will regret coming to our school once I'm done with you.
00:19Who do you think you are, getting all arrogant like that?
00:23What did you just say?
00:26Seriously, you're the arrogant ones here.
00:29Don't think you can bail after messing up our school festival.
00:32You're the reason for all this mess.
00:36You messed it up by trying to hit on those girls when you're just not cool enough.
00:40Even the girls in my class were totally turned off by you.
00:44This is Kanna Miura.
00:46She's a rebellious girl who acts like a lone wolf.
00:50If you can't get girls, then take a hike.
00:53You're a total wuss.
00:55I had to bring these guys up to the school rooftop to dodge a classroom fight.
01:00But now it's just as much trouble up here.
01:04Why are all of you here?
01:06So, you went ahead and told the teacher, huh?
01:09That's pretty lame.
01:11Oh well, fine. We'll bounce from your school for now.
01:15Hey, wait a minute!
01:17Hey, Ryu and Kanna. You guys alright?
01:20Thank goodness our teacher arrived on time.
01:23Yeah, everything's cool.
01:25Just that Kanna had to get into the argument.
01:29You're the one who jumped into the argument.
01:31I was managing just fine without you.
01:34What can a girl like you handle by yourself?
01:37What did you just say now?
01:39I'll show you what I'm capable of.
01:42I'll totally crush you.
01:44I'm up for the challenge.
01:46Oh, come on. Don't start fighting now, guys.
01:50Dealing with troublemakers and arguing with the girls in class
01:54is what I deal with every day as the leader of my crew.
01:58Speaking of which, my second in command is...
02:01Ryu! Dude!
02:03I heard you got into it with those guys from the other school yesterday.
02:07Why didn't you hit us up?
02:08Because I was fine taking on the fight on my own.
02:12Honestly, I didn't want to make things worse than they already were.
02:16This is Kei Saito. He's quiet most of the time.
02:19But when he's in a fight, he's a whole different person.
02:22Ryu...
02:24Yeah?
02:25Thanks for yesterday.
02:27I thought you were intimidating, but you're actually really sweet, Ryu.
02:31You didn't even flinch when handling that tough crew.
02:34You're strong and cool.
02:37Hey, wanna give me your phone number?
02:40If that's cool with you.
02:42Sure.
02:43I don't know why, but all the girls are suddenly into me.
02:46Man, this is such a pain in the neck.
02:51A few hours later.
02:53My crew keeps joking around and saying,
02:55Hey man, you're a hit with the girls!
02:58Seriously?
02:59I can't remember the last time I ate by myself.
03:02OMG, this is so adorable!
03:05Huh?
03:06Wha? Ryu!
03:08Why are you grinning like that?
03:10It's seriously creepy.
03:12I was just checking out a video of a cute little kitten.
03:15I was feeling happy looking at it,
03:17but then I saw your scary face and it ruined everything.
03:20Like, I have to have lunch with her,
03:23but I don't want to give up my spot,
03:25so I'll just stay and eat here.
03:28You shared your number with the girls, didn't you?
03:31How come you're not eating with them?
03:33Eh, I helped them out at the school festival,
03:37and they said they wanted to thank me,
03:39so we swapped numbers.
03:41But I doubt I'll reach out to them.
03:43It's gonna end up like middle school all over again.
03:46Of course, she's always on her own because of her attitude.
03:49I mean, if she's gonna keep bringing up middle school stuff,
03:53why is she still talking to me?
03:55Did she just move on from all that?
03:57Why aren't you eating with the girls too?
04:00Huh?
04:01The girls are into you,
04:03so why not eat with them in the classroom?
04:05Well, I think I'd rather have lunch with the girls in our class than with you.
04:10Look at you!
04:11Getting a big head because all the girls like you.
04:15Eating with you is ruining my lunch, seriously.
04:18Whoa, she's extra grumpy today, isn't she?
04:21What's up with you?
04:23I'm gonna beat you up for real.
04:25Ha! You're just bluffing.
04:27You'd never lay a hand on a girl like me.
04:30I know you better than anyone.
04:32Huh? What are you suddenly going on about?
04:36You're seriously itching to break free from your crew, aren't you?
04:39Oh, that's the topic you're on about. I see.
04:43So, me and Kanna were in the same middle school together.
04:47We were always trying to find our own space and avoid attention.
04:51And yeah, we've been arguing a bunch since then.
04:54Hey, we're graduating soon.
04:56You should hang out with the other girls during lunch.
04:59You can't keep acting like a lone wolf all the time.
05:02You can't just say that.
05:04I know girls won't eat lunch with me, and you know it too.
05:08Hey, if you're gonna shut yourself off and act all tough, don't go being a punk.
05:14I already told you, you can't just say that.
05:17Who are you to talk when you're the leader of your crew?
05:20I didn't choose to be the leader of my crew.
05:23What do you mean?
05:24My bro is a total rebel, and his crew even show me respect just because I'm his younger bro.
05:30Plus, I've got this mean face.
05:33I don't belong anywhere else except with my crew.
05:37Man, the punks I rolled with in elementary and middle school were real bad news.
05:42But they did let me be me, so there's that.
05:45But if I don't step in, they'll start messing with people who aren't even part of their own crew.
05:51That's why you...
05:53Yeah, I'm the leader of my crew by default because I'm the only one willing to deal with those troublemakers.
06:00Why not just leave your crew if you want out?
06:03Are the crew members you're with really that bad?
06:06Will they start problems if you're not around to stop them?
06:09Things aren't the same as they were when I was in middle school.
06:12The leader of the crew at the other school we're clashing with is straight up crazy.
06:17If I step down as leader, things will get messy for sure.
06:20Who knows how many people will get hurt.
06:22You... you know...
06:25Oh, there you are!
06:27Oh, I get it now.
06:30So that's why you weren't into the other girls in class, huh?
06:34My bad for interrupting.
06:36That's total crap!
06:39Why would I like a girl like her?
06:41Hold up.
06:42What was that?
06:44Who do you think you are?
06:46You're super close with each other.
06:49After school that day.
06:51Took you long enough to show up.
06:53Well, at least you're on your own.
06:55Huh? What do you want?
06:57You want to quit beefing with the crew from the other school, right?
07:01Just tag along with me.
07:03Hey! Quit beefing?
07:06But what's she going on about?
07:08The spot where Kanna took me to was...
07:12What were you even thinking, Kanna?
07:15As leaders of your crews, you should just talk it out.
07:18Don't do anything dumb and start any gang brawls like punks had back in the day.
07:23Hey, are you familiar with this guy?
07:26He was the one who wouldn't leave me alone and sneaked my number into his phone,
07:30telling me to get in touch.
07:32So? Is that leader there really going to chat with me about this?
07:37Yeah, alright.
07:39We're having a top secret discussion in an old building.
07:42I'm not sure what's going on,
07:44but if this is how we're going to end the beef between our crews, then...
07:49So, we spent an hour discussing it, but...
07:52I don't even get any satisfaction from your apologies.
07:56So, my ideas didn't really get across to him, huh?
08:00It's surprising we haven't started fighting yet.
08:03Even better. Why not just pass your girl over to me?
08:07What did you just say? I am not his girl and...
08:10Well, that works out well.
08:13If you just give up that girl you're not into, all our problems will be fixed.
08:18Looks like our talk is over. I don't want to see you ever again.
08:22Hey, you!
08:24What are you going to do?
08:26He's totally going to pick a fight with your crew now.
08:29I'll figure something out.
08:31If I have to, I'll...
08:33What the heck are they up to?
08:35What's wrong?
08:37They got into a small fight.
08:39Luckily, it was just some minor injuries.
08:42Are you talking about your crew?
08:44Yeah, even though I managed to stop them from going once,
08:47they went to that high school to have a fight with the other crew.
08:50Ugh...
08:52Sorry things didn't go well between our crews,
08:55even after you took me to the leader from that high school for a discussion.
08:59So you're thinking of thanking me, huh?
09:01Oh, you want me to give you something back, is that it?
09:04Yeah. Let's hang out. This coming weekend.
09:08Say what?
09:09Come on, it's fine. We're just hanging out.
09:13Meet me at the Kawaiiwa Clock Tower at 11 this Saturday.
09:17And then, Saturday arrived.
09:20Hey, sorry I made you wait.
09:23It's all good.
09:24Is that Kanna for real?
09:26Why is she dressed like a girl?
09:29C'mon, let's go.
09:32Hey, where are you going? Come this way.
09:35My bad.
09:37A few minutes later.
09:39C'mon, ease up a bit.
09:41It's really hard to walk when you're clinging on to me like that.
09:44I mean, it's just awkward and embarrassing.
09:49Chill out.
09:51You don't have to hate me that bad.
09:53After that, Kanna said she was going to the arcade,
09:57so I went with her, but...
09:59Step back a bit, you're too close.
10:02This is how it should go.
10:04C'mon, quit talking and let's get this photo done.
10:07Whoa, she smells so nice.
10:10After that, we decided to stroll around.
10:14Phew, that was a close call.
10:17You really shouldn't have worn that.
10:19Well, my bad that it doesn't suit me.
10:23I never said it didn't suit you.
10:25I can't judge how others look when I'm the one looking rough.
10:30I'm actually into your rugged, tough guy side.
10:34Hold up, what?
10:36What are you even saying?
10:38But next time, I want to be in my comfy clothes.
10:41Wait, there's a next time?
10:44After that, I hung out with Kanna at a bunch of different spots.
10:48I was anxious about the clash with the other high school crew,
10:52but Kanna reassured me that it would all work out.
10:55Actually, the beef between us and the high school crew have stopped.
10:59Apparently, Kanna convinced their leader and made them agree to a break for two weeks.
11:04It's not surprising he'd go along with what she says.
11:08We hung out at the aquarium one weekend.
11:10Oh my gosh! The dolphins are so cute!
11:14Ugh, why is my heart racing?
11:17I'm used to her wearing that jacket, right?
11:20I should be checking out the dolphins, not her.
11:24Ow, ouchie! We got drenched!
11:29Quit laughing, that's why I said we shouldn't be in the front row.
11:34Come on, it's no big deal. You're chuckling along.
11:41A few hours later.
11:42Kanna is taking ages in the toilet. Girls take forever, huh?
11:47Oh, is that you, Ryou?
11:49Oh, hey, we're in the same class.
11:52Ryou, you also come to places like this?
11:55Want to explore the aquarium together?
11:57Uh, no, actually I...
12:00Really? Oh, the penguins are going for a stroll! Let's go see them!
12:05Have fun!
12:07You look like you're having a great time.
12:10K-Kanna!
12:12If you want to hang out with them over there, go for it, alright?
12:15Huh? What are you saying?
12:17Anyways, I'm gonna go have a look over there.
12:20Hey, wait up!
12:22You don't have to come along if you don't want to.
12:25We're just hanging out, not in a relationship or anything.
12:29What's she talking about this time?
12:31We're grabbing dinner after this, right?
12:33Let's go to a fancy restaurant for dinner, since we're on a date and all.
12:39No stress. We can go somewhere that's not too pricey.
12:43Alright. She's confusing me. What's her deal?
12:48One hour later.
12:50Hey, remember when I was pretty much on my own in class in middle school?
12:55Well, yeah. You had blonde hair since then and kept trying to mess with us troublemakers.
13:00I really struggled to blend in, and I didn't like hanging out with the whole class.
13:05You looked like you were in charge, too. But-
13:09If you pull this stunt again-
13:11Alright, I got it. Chill out.
13:14Hey!
13:16You. Are you seriously being rude to girls now?
13:19No, Kanna. You got it wrong. Ryu was-
13:23Don't bother telling her. But what about it?
13:27Just because she's a girl, I'm supposed to cut her some slack?
13:30Do you get a kick out of picking on people who can't fight back?
13:37Quit lying. I don't believe you.
13:40Seriously, I'm not lying. Those girls were totally trying to mess with you by wrecking your bag.
13:47Why would Ryu be mean to anyone else but you?
13:50Why is Ryu even looking out for me?
13:52He was probably annoyed with those girls for being sneaky and trying to bully you.
13:57They were bothering you when you were just keeping to yourself.
14:00Don't let Ryu know I spilled the beans. He made me swear not to tell you.
14:05And if he catches wind of it, I'm in deep trouble.
14:08Then why did you tell me?
14:10Because even though Ryu used to shout at me a bunch, he still looked out for me.
14:17That little punk. He never knows when to keep his mouth shut.
14:21Hey, hands off him, alright? It's on me.
14:25But you didn't do anything.
14:27I totally went off on you when you were just trying to have my back, right?
14:31Forget about it. Come on, let's get out of here.
14:34Ryu!
14:36Hey, I get it if you don't want to hear this, but I'm sorry for everything up until now.
14:43I said forget it.
14:45You know, seeing you in high school made me think about how what you said in middle school was totally true.
14:51You were still leading your crew, but you were just trying to keep things under control so nobody got hurt, right?
14:58I... Realizing that, I just couldn't help but fall in love with you.
15:06How awkward would it be if the girl you've been arguing with admitted she had feelings for you?
15:12That's why I... I couldn't really tell you.
15:15I don't hate you or anything, but...
15:18Don't worry about it, Ryu. Today's our last date.
15:22What are you suddenly going on about?
15:25I enjoyed hanging out with you on our dates. See ya.
15:28Why is she acting so weird?
15:32The next Monday, Kanna, she was all hyped about us being on a date, but why did she suddenly seem off at the end?
15:39Hey, boss!
15:41Hm? What's up?
15:43The other high school crew called us, and they said we should stop the beef and fight.
15:48They even mentioned writing a truce letter as a way to settle things.
15:51What do you mean?
15:53The leader of their gang at that high school just said to cool it and stop all the brawling out of nowhere.
15:59Hold up. He just said that out of nowhere? Hang on, could it be?
16:04Kanna!
16:05What do you want?
16:07Did you go along with his offer? That jerk who said he was gonna make you his girl?
16:12What on earth are you blabbering about?
16:14I know for sure he and his crew wouldn't back down unless you do that!
16:20I have no idea what you're saying, but if he and his crew backed off, then everything's cool, right?
16:25Kanna...
16:26You didn't want to cause trouble for your pals and your crew, did you?
16:30Now move out of the way! Class is starting soon!
16:34I'm pretty sure Kanna won't just go along with that jerk's offer quietly.
16:39But looks like I have to go see that jerk leader again, huh?
16:43Yo, Ryu! Why are you being so secretive?
16:46Huh?
16:47I can tell you're hiding something.
16:50Did you forget what I told you at the school festival?
16:53Why not lean on us or your buds and the crew more?
16:56I gotta do this for Kanna.
16:58If it's K, then... actually...
17:01So, I just let it all out.
17:03I shared everything with him, from what went down with Kanna to how I feel about our crew,
17:08and how I want out because I'm not into troublemakers. Just everything.
17:13Wait! You're kidding, right?
17:15We can't let a girl put herself in danger just to save us!
17:18We gotta act fast and figure out our next move!
17:21If we don't want things to get messy, we gotta talk to him.
17:25You know where their leader is, right? I'll go with you!
17:28Thanks, K.
17:30So, K and I went to see the leader of the other high school crew, but...
17:34Where did the rest of your crew go?
17:36We ain't looking for a fight.
17:38So, you're here to have another chat and sort things out between our gangs.
17:43You just never give up, huh?
17:45Me and K tried to make peace with him.
17:48We even said we'd steer clear of downtown, but...
17:51Enough chit-chat. I'll go easy on you.
17:55Just bring your whole little crew down here,
17:57or are you too scared to handle a little brawl?
18:01Who do you think you are saying that?
18:03We were trying to be nice and humble, but you...
18:06K, stop it!
18:08You should have started with this from the start!
18:11Is there no other option for this?
18:14Hey! They're not backing down!
18:17I never expected you two to be this good at fighting.
18:20This is a little treat for all your hard work!
18:24Enough already! Cut it out!
18:27Kanna, if you're freaking out so much, just call the cops.
18:31It'll be funny to watch the two of them getting rescued by the cops.
18:35You can skip calling them.
18:37I'm on the brink of getting kicked out of school for being a troublemaker.
18:41I don't want the cops to be involved.
18:45Yo, do you hear that noise?
18:48Hey, get back from the door, dudes!
18:52Boss! K!
18:54You better prepare for what's coming, you losers!
18:58Why are they all here?
19:00Sorry, it was me who got them to come.
19:03I just asked a girl in my class to bring them over for me.
19:06Not again!
19:08If they keep it up, I'm gonna give them a piece of my mind!
19:14Let's do this, you jerk!
19:16And the result is...
19:22Dang it! We lost!
19:24Don't even think about coming close to us or our school ever again!
19:29Who cares? I'll just come back up and...
19:32You're not getting away with that, got it?
19:35What's the deal with all those clothes piled up in the corner?
19:39And the tags are still on them.
19:42I snapped a bunch of photos of them with my phone.
19:45If you do anything strange, you know what I'm talking about, right?
19:51You! You're always acting without thinking!
19:54That's what I was gonna say.
19:56I really hope he didn't do anything bad to you.
19:59I'm all good, no worries.
20:02Sorry for making you worry.
20:04I'm sorry too. It's my fault.
20:07I shouldn't have dragged you into this mess.
20:10One hour later.
20:11Hey guys, I'm sorry to all of you as well. It's my fault.
20:16Is that something you should be worrying about, boss?
20:19Hey man, I figured it out.
20:21Leading just ain't your thing.
20:23It's best if you step away from the crew.
20:25What are you guys talking about?
20:27Dude, do you really think we're exactly like those jerks we just fought with?
20:32Relax, you don't have to look out for us.
20:35Why is K being so nice?
20:38Alright, I'll back off from being the leader and cleaning up after your messes.
20:42Good. Your crew ain't so bad after all, right?
20:46Yeah, thanks K.
20:48Alright, well, we're outta here.
20:50Be sure to get along with Kanna, alright?
20:53Wait, what?
20:55We're not official or anything.
20:57I don't see this lasting very long.
20:59Hey, what did you just say?
21:02You can't be yelling at me like that.
21:04Why did you go join those troublemakers all by yourself knowing you're just a girl?
21:09We're not gonna take care of you guys, alright?
21:13After that, I found out that the leader of the other crew totally lost it and ended up in trouble with the cops.
21:20The rest of them got caught, and that delinquent crew over there broke up.
21:24After all that drama, Kanna started feeling more comfortable in her class.
21:29When we had that showdown with the other crew, Kanna reached out to a girl in her class for help, and that really helped her settle in.
21:37The girl Kanna asked for help spread the word, and they all went looking for our whole crew.
21:43And as for me who left my crew...
21:46Ew, your hair looks way better like that.
21:49You think so? I don't know why, but the class is starting to include me too.
21:55But, I mean, I used to be the boss of my crew, so if Kanna is getting along with her classmates, it's best for her to keep her distance from me.
22:04Hey, when are you gonna finally ask me?
22:08Huh? Ask you what?
22:10So, when are you gonna ask me out on a date again? You're so slow.
