00:00Do you want to tag along to the classroom with me, Hiro?
00:04You still don't know where it is, right?
00:07Thanks, Otaku!
00:10My name is not Otaku, it's Otakuda.
00:14I'm Hiro Yamada, the new senior student who joined this school a week ago.
00:19And this is Tamotsu Otakuda.
00:22We became pals right from the start when we discovered our mutual love for those obscure
00:27animes on my first day here.
00:30Hey there, new student!
00:33Your shirt is sticking out!
00:35Oh, hey Reina!
00:37If you're all disorganized on the outside, it might mean your thoughts are a jumble too.
00:43I can't pretend not to see your uniform is all over the place just because you're new
00:47around here.
00:48If you know what I mean, fix your shirt right away!
00:53Y-yes ma'am!
00:56M-man, Reina is super strict.
00:59They're Reina Ono, the student council president, and Kai Risota, the student council vice president.
01:07According to Otakuda, they're both perfect in academics and sports, and popular with
01:13everyone.
01:14Good job!
01:15You fixed it properly!
01:18We should get going soon, Reina.
01:21Our break is almost over.
01:23Right, let's go.
01:25Whoa, Reina's so cool.
01:28I bet she's super on top of things at home too.
01:33The next day.
01:35Ah, yesterday was really scary.
01:39Reina is stunning, but when she's angry, she becomes even scarier.
01:44I shouldn't be thinking about that right now!
01:47Time to shift my focus!
01:49I didn't get a chance to say hi to my new neighbor because I was busy with the move.
01:54It's the weekend today, so I hope my neighbor is home.
01:59Anyway, I wonder what kind of person my new neighbor is.
02:03If we could get to know each other a little better, it'd be ni-
02:07Ugh, what do you want?
02:10It's only past noon.
02:12Yeah, yeah, whatever.
02:15If you're just trying to recruit me to some religious organization or something, I'm not interested.
02:22Wha?
02:23What are you doing here?
02:26Wait a minute, my new neighbor is Reina?
02:29I mean, her place is super messy!
02:32Uh, why is your room so messy, Reina?
02:37Wha?
02:38Whoa!
02:40Did you just see my room?
02:44Oh, uh, yes, I guess I, uh, did.
02:49Your place is a total mess, and it's like no one can even survive in there.
02:54What's going on?
02:56I can't believe a person like you is living in a place like this, right-
03:01Don't ever tell anyone about this, okay?
03:05Huh?
03:07I'll do whatever you need me to do, just promise me you won't tell anyone about this, okay?
03:12Pretty please?
03:14Did you just say you'll do whatever I need you to do?
03:18Y-yeah, I did.
03:21What is it?
03:23Wh-what do you want me to do?
03:26Hehehe, then will you-
03:30This is perfect!
03:33Phew, I feel way better now!
03:36I can't believe how clean it is!
03:39Th-thank you.
03:42Oh, we're not done yet.
03:44Huh? W-what do you mean?
03:48You told me you'd do whatever I wanted, right?
03:52Yeah, I did.
03:54But, uh, w-what do you want?
03:58So, if I'm gonna keep your secret, the deal is-
04:03The deal is?
04:05The deal is you gotta start cleaning up after yourself and live like a normal person.
04:11Huh? What do you mean?
04:14Judging by the trash around here, it doesn't seem like you do any cooking for yourself.
04:20Ugh!
04:22It's not just about how you wear your uniform or how you look,
04:27but even your room and what you eat say a lot about your mindset.
04:32If you carry on like this, you're gonna end up sick.
04:35I'll show you how to improve your lifestyle before it's too late!
04:39S-sweats?
04:42So, just be ready for what's coming, okay?
04:46Yeah!
04:47And that's how Reina's lifestyle improvement plan began!
04:52I walked her through cooking and laundry step by step, but-
04:57Reina is way more of a mess and klutz than I thought she'd be.
05:02She's a disaster in the kitchen, always causing explosions when cooking and filling the washing machine with bubbles.
05:10Plus, three days later, her room is filled with trash again. How's that even possible?
05:16Her school and home lives are totally different.
05:20And one day...
05:22I can't believe you asked me to lunch.
05:25Sorry I butted in while you were talking to the vice president of the student council.
05:30I'm a bit concerned about something.
05:35I was worried about what you eat for lunch, Reina.
05:39Oh, relax. I'm eating my lunch like I should.
05:43Check this out. This energy drink will give me a quick boost in just ten seconds.
05:48It's what I'm having for lunch.
05:50I knew you were going to have that for lunch. Your fridge was packed with energy drinks.
05:56What's the big deal with having energy drinks for lunch?
05:59It's a fast and decent meal and it's totally fine nutrition-wise, too.
06:04If you say so, but please take better care of your health.
06:09I mean, you know how bad I am at cooking, so making a decent lunch is out of the question for me.
06:17Yep, I'm well aware of that. That's why I made this for you.
06:23Huh? Is this...?
06:26Yep, I made this lunch just for you.
06:28I can't promise it'll give you a quick energy boost like the energy drink, but I can vouch for the taste.
06:35Thank you! I'm digging in!
06:39It's really delicious!
06:42Seriously, if you can make lunches this good, you'll be an amazing wife.
06:47Uh, I'm a guy, though.
06:50Eh, who cares about your gender right now?
06:53I want you to get the hang of making lunches like this, Reina.
06:57Ugh, you're being really harsh.
07:01Hm? Did you mention something just now?
07:05N-n-no, it's nothing.
07:09What's wrong?
07:11I thought I felt someone's eyes on me just now.
07:15No, never mind. Don't worry about it.
07:19Huh? She sensed something staring at her. Was there someone around here?
07:26So, Reina's strict lifestyle improvement plan continued.
07:31She almost gave up a few times, but she kept trying her best.
07:35I thought it was adorable how much she was trying.
07:39After these two weeks of hardcore training, I gotta say, you've definitely stepped up your game compared to before.
07:47But I was with you the whole time.
07:50So now, I'm going to see how much you can do on your own.
07:54First, try living on your own for a week.
07:58Got it. Leave it to me. I know exactly what to do.
08:02I hope she'll be okay. I was kinda worried about her, and one week later...
08:08What the heck?! You're back to how you were!
08:12I'm just so useless. I can't do anything on my own.
08:20I'm just a cheese steam bun. Or even a roll bun.
08:26What are you talking about? Let's clean up around here right now!
08:31Okay...
08:35Outside of school, she's such a klutz. But I suppose that's kinda cute too.
08:43Hiro, should this be sorted out as we-
08:45Whoa!
08:48Ow!
08:50I'm so sorry, Hiro. Are you okay?
08:53Yeah, I'm okay. But what about you, Reina?
08:57I'm okay too.
09:00Oh, good. I mean, she's super close to me.
09:05What's wrong? You look like you're blushing.
09:09It's nothing. Let's hurry up and finish cleaning.
09:12If you're not good at living on your own, why are you doing it, Reina?
09:17I have this big dream I'm working towards, and going to our high school was the perfect path to get there.
09:24But my folks live far, so I'm living close to the school on my own.
09:29What about you, Hiro? You live on your own too, right?
09:34Actually, my folks passed away in a car accident, so I moved in with them.
09:39But then, she got really sick and had to be in the hospital for a while.
09:44I couldn't find a good hospital for her in the rural area, so I tagged along when she got hospitalized in the city.
09:51So, does that mean you came all the way here just to take care of her?
09:56Yep, that's right. She's so much better now.
10:00Oh, that's good.
10:03But who would have thought?
10:05Oh, that's good.
10:08But who would have thought you'd suck at cleaning, considering how strict you are in school?
10:14I get lonely when there's not a lot of things around me, you know?
10:18So, I like to have lots of things in there to keep me company.
10:24Plus, my folks were always tied up, so our home was usually a mess.
10:30They never bothered to get me to clean my own room, so I never got the hang of it.
10:36I'll guide you through the cleaning process, one step at a time.
10:40You'll get better at it as we go.
10:43And whenever you're feeling lonely, just know I'm here for you.
10:47If anything happens, feel free to swing by my place.
10:51We're neighbors, after all. We gotta look out for each other.
10:55Huh? Thank you so much, Hiro!
10:59A few days later, after having that talk with Reina...
11:06What was that noise? Was that Reina screaming?
11:11Reina, what's wrong?
11:17Sorry, but the door was open, so I let myself in.
11:21What was that scream all about?
11:25What's this?
11:30I wanted to thank you, so I tried to bake this.
11:36You wanted to thank me?
11:39You've been taking care of me all the time, so I wanted to give you something special.
11:45I searched online and saw that baking sweets is a great way to show appreciation.
11:51So I tried to bake a cake for you, but...
11:55Choosing the hard stuff to bake again, I see.
11:59I was going to surprise you with a cake all cute and wrapped in the morning.
12:07Reina really worked so hard to bake this for me, huh?
12:11I really appreciate it, Reina. Thank you.
12:15You got all messy from baking that cake, so why not change into some fresh clothes?
12:21Don't worry, I'll handle cleaning up here.
12:24Hey, why are you always so caring and looking after me?
12:29My folks who passed away used to say,
12:33Always lend a hand to those who need it without expecting anything in return.
12:38My grandma believed in that too, and she taught me the same.
12:42And I can't just turn a blind eye to someone who can't look after themselves.
12:47You're so kind.
12:49If you say so.
12:51Thank you, Hiro.
12:53Hey, um...
12:55Can you teach me how to bake sweets too?
12:59I want you to actually eat the ones I bake next time.
13:02Absolutely!
13:05And so, I kept hanging out with Reina every day.
13:09I helped her clean up, taught her how to stay organized,
13:12and little by little, her living situation got better.
13:16And at the same time, we started hanging out more at school too.
13:21And then, after a couple of weeks...
13:24Hey, Hiro! I really want to thank you properly this time.
13:27What can I do to show you how grateful I am?
13:30Hmm... Well, would you mind helping me study?
13:35We have tests coming up soon anyways.
13:38That's all you want me to do?
13:41Having the top student in our grade help me study feels like a treat.
13:46You're overhyping me, I'm not that smart.
13:50But alright then, let's study in the library after school today.
13:54After school?
13:55Reina, we're done with the student council work for today, right?
14:00How about we go to a cafe and study together?
14:04Since our tests are coming up, we could study toge-
14:08Sorry, I'll be hitting the books with Hiro for the tests.
14:12Wait, what?
14:14I'm here to pick you up for our study session, Reina.
14:17Oops, am I too early?
14:19No, you came just at the right time.
14:22Alright, I see. I guess I have no choice here. Let's study together another time.
14:28See ya!
14:30Yeah, see ya!
14:32Was it okay for you to say no to his offer to study together?
14:36I already promised to study with you before anyone else.
14:40I hate breaking promises.
14:43Come on, let's go to the library.
14:46For this part, you should apply this formula.
14:50Ah, I see. That totally makes sense.
14:54She's helping me out with my studies, so things are going pretty good, but...
14:59But being this closer is making my heart beat so fast.
15:05I'm glad you got it.
15:08What's wrong?
15:10I knew it. My gut feeling is right.
15:13Lately I've been getting the vibe that someone's been creeping on me lately.
15:18Actually, it's not just that. Some of my stuff is disappearing at school too.
15:25What? Does that mean...
15:28I don't really want to make a big deal out of it, so please don't tell anyone about this.
15:33But...
15:35Relax. I'll find a way to solve this. I got this.
15:39I'm worried about her.
15:42The next day.
15:44I hope Reina comes soon.
15:47She told me she'll be late because of some last-minute student council stuff.
15:52She's always super busy.
15:56I really hope nothing bad went down with her after what she said yesterday.
16:01Maybe I should go to the student council room and get her.
16:05Oh, hey, Hiro! It's you!
16:08Otaku!
16:09My name is not Otaku. It's Otaku Dot. Are you worried about something?
16:15How did you know that I was worried?
16:18I saw you looking all serious and frowning, probably thinking hard about something.
16:23So, what's the matter?
16:26What do you do if someone you care about is in trouble but says they're fine?
16:31Should I just stay back and not do anything?
16:34I want to look out for that person, even if I have to be a little nosy.
16:40And that means you already know the answer, don't you?
16:45Sometimes it's okay to be a bit nosy if someone you care about needs help instead of just sitting around doing nothing.
16:53Thanks, Mom!
16:55I already told you I'm not your mom. I'm Otaku Dot.
16:59Anyways, I'm impressed that you're studying on your own.
17:03Reina's coming here to study with me later.
17:06Oh, really? Hmm, not strange. I saw Reina leave the student council room about ten minutes ago.
17:14Hold up, what? Ten minutes ago?
17:17If she already left ten minutes ago, she should be here by now.
17:22Oh no! Could she be in trouble?
17:25Wait, Hiro!
17:27Kai, so it was you, huh? You've been watching me lately, haven't you?
17:34Haha, yep, that's right.
17:37Why did you do that? And why were you taking my stuff?
17:42Why? Ah, I get it. You don't get it, huh?
17:47But how could you not get it? I'm crazy about you! I only have eyes for you!
17:52That guy you're with has no idea who you really are!
17:56Huh?
17:58That's enough!
18:00Hiro!
18:01You jerk! How did you find us?
18:04I checked all the classrooms between the student council room and the library!
18:09You're allowed to have feelings for someone, but you can't make them have those same feelings for you if they're not into it!
18:16Shut up! Ever since you came here, she's been acting different!
18:20Ever since she started spending time with you, she's been acting super weird!
18:24Give me back the old Reina who was always flawless!
18:28You're just making things worse for her by being around! She needs someone perfect like me!
18:34But like I already told you, you're just forcing your emotions on her, and...
18:39You're the one getting on my nerves, Kai!
18:42Reina!
18:44I'm actually not perfect at all! I'm a huge mess without Hiro helping me clean up!
18:51I can't cook, I can't even sew, I'm a total mess when it comes to housework!
18:56I didn't even tell Hiro this, but...
18:59I'm the type who enjoys spending time being naked on the weekends!
19:03Say what? What are you even talking about?
19:07Basically, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm not perfect!
19:12Hold on! Stop messing with me!
19:16I refuse to accept that you're not perfect! If you're not perfect, then...
19:21Kai, were you into Reina just because she was perfect?
19:26Duh! Obviously!
19:29Wow, you're not only pushing your emotions on her, but also your beliefs!
19:35Do you seriously think you're a good fit for her just by judging her looks?
19:39Doesn't matter if she's perfect or not, Reina is still Reina, and she's an amazing girl!
19:46You know what? Her not being perfect and clumsy just makes her even more lovable!
19:55Hiro!
19:57So, you thought I was a klutz, huh?
20:01Uh, well, you see...
20:05It's okay. I was just teasing you.
20:11Thank you for coming to help me.
20:14So then the teachers Otakura called showed up and took Kai away.
20:19And that was the end of Kai stalking Reina.
20:23Hey, Reina, was it alright for you to talk about yourself like that earlier?
20:28You wanted to keep your personal lifestyle a secret, didn't you?
20:31Yeah, I did at first.
20:34But having other people try to cram their beliefs down my throat made me feel like I couldn't even breathe, you know?
20:41And I didn't want someone following me around and making up stuff about who I am.
20:46Besides, I love you, Hiro, so I don't care what anyone else thinks and...
20:52Um, what?
20:54Oh, um...
20:58Forget what I just said!
21:01No, I won't. Because I love you too, Reina.
21:06Wait, what?
21:09I thought it was adorable how you were putting in so much effort to make your life better.
21:14And then, before I knew it, I found myself falling for you.
21:19Me too! I also found myself falling for you. You were always there for me.
21:27Reina, I love you. I really do.
21:31I love you too, Hiro.
21:33And so, Reina and I became a couple.
21:37After that, Kai made up with Reina by apologizing properly.
21:42But then he suddenly started looking up to me for some reason.
21:46He said that he was impressed by how I could see the true essence of a person and protect them.
21:52It made me feel happy, embarrassed, and a bit conflicted about it.
21:56Even after that, Reina's lifestyle improvement kept on going and...
22:02What do you think? My room's all clean now, right?
22:07Does this mean that my job here is done?
22:10What are you talking about? Even if my lifestyle improves, I still want you by my side forever.
22:17Of course, I'll be by your side forever.
22:21I'm excited to spend forever with you.
