Amano-san.
Wh-What now?!
I think the two of us should pair up.
They're going to be in the culture festival.
Nagi, too?
He stayed home to study last year, didn't he?
Nagi can be surprisingly motivated when there's a girl involved.
He took after me!
Guess we'd better pop in.
Yeah, sure, but...
But what?
Sachi says we absolutely can't go.
Which means we absolutely have to go, right?
Oh, yeah, of course!
Sachi is never straightforward.
Hoppy
Umino-tei Diner
Closed for the day
Monshiro-cho Shopping District
Onii?!
Hey, did Onii just come here in a car?
He wasn't here.
And why are you here?
I just stopped by because I was in the area.
Aw, so it wasn't because you missed us?
That person looked just like him.
You came back to Japan out of nowhere. What a surprise.
And to see your kid's culture festival, no less.
You've never even been there for parents' day yourself.
It's too boring.
Seems you've pushed a pretty harsh condition onto Erika.
I suppose.
There's no sense in having them live together forever.
Now, then, what will our two children do?
Culture Festival
Episode 11: That's the First Time I Ever Found You Attractive
Welcome, master!
To the Class 2-A maid café!
They're both so cute!
I should ask for pictures later.
Gotta make it tasty!
Kyun, kyun, kyun!
We currently have a wait time of one hour.
Be sure to take a ticket.
Man, look at Class A.
They're killing it.
My class is killing it because...
Okay, party of four, over here, please.
Here you are! Service!
...my parents have joined the fray!
Help me, Onii-chan.
Sachi?!
"Onii-chan"?
Seriously?
Where's the kid sister rental?!
Find the class that's doing it!
Sister rental?!
Jeez, Sachi, you could have told me you were here.
Never mind that, Onii...
Studying during the culture festival is the height of lonerdom.
Shut up.
I have the great task that is the M-1 coming up.
This is my brief respite.
A Ticket
You don't mind if I take your ticket, then, do you?
Bye.
That's your brother?
You don't look alike.
Nagi-kun.
You think so?
I'm here.
What?
Don't "What?" me.
We're walking around the school together.
Huh?
Escape Room Game
Haunted House
1st Prize
Hurry, Nagi-kun! They're starting!
Wait!
Wait, Amano-san!
Sorry!
So that's my...
Oh, Romeo.
Oh, Juliet.
Oh, Romeo.
Oh...
That was a blast!
School events can be fun once in a while, huh?
I'm glad I got to spend time with you at this school.
What brought that on?
What about you?
Huh?
I'm asking, what about you?
Amano-san, you're hiding something from me.
I just never told you because there's no point.
Then tell me.
What?
You mean now? Right before the M-1?
Okay, so...
I don't want to hear it.
Could you not make it sound like we'll lose if you say it?
Don't ask, then!
You don't need to worry about me.
We're going to win no matter what.
You could have told me you already knew.
I was feeling the pressure all by myself.
I feel stupid.
I didn't think there'd be any point in asking.
I don't know what it's about, but it doesn't matter, because we're going to win.
You know, Nagi-kun...
You're more mentally resilient than you look.
That's the first time I ever found you attractive.
Here we go!
It's time for the Megurogawa Academy High School After-Party, also known as the M-1!
We have a packed roster of amazing talent!
Got your kawaii Takahashi
Notice me, Hiro-sama Yonezawa
Who will stand victorious?
The winner will be chosen by audience vote.
Ten imitations of language teacher Maeda-sensei.
Language is thus life!
Megurogawa Sisters duet.
Are Nagi and Erika-chan up yet?
Where did Sachi go?
They may be high schoolers, but they're still children.
I suppose I shouldn't have expected much.
And now, we have a guest from the special entrant category.
My biggest oshi!
The unstoppable ponytail duo, Love & Happy, brings you a live performance!
Here we go, Sachi-chan.
They don't recognize us, do they, Ai-chan?
Oh, they're so cute.
It's so nice to be young.
Hey, where's Sachi?
These two smell like pros.
I wonder which agency they're with.
And here we go.
The song is "Love & Happy Rivals in Love"!
They win! They absolutely win!
It's an expedited parcel of cute!
Or so we would like to say,
but special guests are not eligible to win.
Thank you very much!
And now for our next act!
The time is right for them!
The biggest duo of the day, Hiro and Shion!
Hiro-chan's up.
Let's get a look at Segawa-san's M-1 skills!
Hiro-chan!
Hiro-senpai!
You got this, Shion!
The two of us...
are forfeiting.
Segawa-san...
Why?
This is my M-1.
Are you sure about this?!
This was the only way Umino-kun would have participated.
I need him to give it his all and win, or we won't have a legend to end the legend.
What?! That's so badass!
All right, let's get back to it.
The next duo is Ama-Umi House!
Here we go!
It's Nagi-chan!
Sheesh, Sachi! She's going to miss it!
Well, let's see what they're made of.
There was an accident that day.
The two of us, who happened to be born on the same day at the same hospital,
were swapped at birth.
The son of poor eatery owners, Umino Nagi.
The daughter of a well-off hotel tycoon, Amano Erika.
We met on our seventeenth birthday and learned of that fact.
And that's us.
We apologize for having kept this a secret until now.
That is all.
Fire!
Huh?
Where are the cheers?
Nagi-kun, I don't think this is landing.
No way! Did we bomb?!
A shocking announcement followed by an apology conference.
You did put some thought into that.
But you lack entertainment experience.
Audiences don't know how to react
when they're given information that's too surprising.
What do we do?
Well, they've only got a minute left of their three minutes!
Nagi-kun, what now?!
I'm thinking!
I know! How about we do cosplay?
Do you have outfits?
How about impressions, then?
Of what?
Should we regroup?
We don't have time!
What do we do, then?!
Lies!
Lies! All lies! Stop lying!
Seriously?!
I'm disappointed in you, Erika-tan!
I thought you were a pure, untainted damsel!
He just jumped onto the stage.
Who is that? Is he from our school?
Fight!
How could you lie to me?!
The innocent smiles on Inustagram, the ladylike elegance and class...
It was all a lie!
You liar!
Well, I...
Stop.
Take it back.
Amano-san isn't a liar.
Nagi-kun...
No! Shut up!
You take it back!
It's your fault Erika-san got all messed up!
He punched him!
Seriously...
What are you to Erika-san?!
I'm just her fiancé.
Nagi-kun... was angry?
Onii...
Nagi-chan...
Umino-kun...
Get 'em, Nagi!
Her fiancé? You think I'm an idiot?
Take it back.
Amano-san isn't a liar.
They're well past their allotted time!
Someone, stop them!
Everyone, quiet, please!
We are canceling the M-1!
Let's leave.
All Students Due to a confrontation involving a student from another school, there will be no winner for this year's M-1. The following student will be placed on suspension for four days: Umino Nagi, Class 2-A

What the hell am I doing?!
This is so embarrassing!
I didn't win the M-1 after all that, and to top it off, I'm suspended!
What are you doing?
Amano-san.
I brought you some food.
You haven't had anything all day, have you?
Er... You made that?
I boiled the crap out of it.
So it shouldn't make you sick... I think.
This is... porridge, right?
What did you put in it?
Frozen fried rice and stuff?
"And stuff"?!
Just eat it already.
Uh... okay.
Sorry.
For not winning.
Sorry.
Oh.
You mean the M-1?
I thought you meant you were sorry it's too gross to eat.
No.
Thanks.
I appreciated you helping me.
You were pretty badass in my mind, at least.
Yeah, but...
Enough!
Feeling better?
Yeah... I guess.
Okay, fine.
Did she just...
What was that?!
Was I hallucinating?
No...
I still feel the sensation!
Wait, wait, wait!
Calm down!
Feeling better?
Right.
That's what that was for.
She was just trying to cheer me up.
All that bougie traveling really does change you.
I guess it's on the lips overseas, not the cheeks.
I bet that's what you decided.
That's obviously not true.
Sachi?!
How did you know?!
I saw it.
Onee was kissing you.
I was on my way to the bathroom, and she'd left the door open.
I knew she would do it someday.
What's that supposed to mean?
Well?
How was kissing a girl who isn't in your family for the first time?
What?!
You never even talked to a girl outside your family before, and now you've kissed one.
No wonder you're panicked.
Listen, you...
You keep saying "outside my family," but you aren't family, either.
You were the first one to kiss me.
Ew! Forget it!
Gross! Gross!
You're the one who asked!
Besides...
It wasn't that kind of kiss.
She meant it as a way to cheer me up, like an energy drink, because I was bummed out.
That's the kind of person Amano-san is.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Hey, Nagi-kun!
Amano-san?!
Thanks, I feel better, by the way.
No...
What the hell was that kiss?!
Amano-san, may I have a word?
Is that really for you to ask?
I know, but...
I didn't know what to say. Can you blame me?
What the hell?!
What about you?
Why did you think that was what it was?
Because...
I thought you were trying to cheer me up.
Fair point.
Yeah.
No, why are we having this conversation?
That's definitely true.
I thought you might die, the way you were acting.
I won't deny that.
You wouldn't eat, and you were blaming yourself for some reason.
So... you know.
Yes... Sorry about that.
Also, Sachi saw you kissing me.
No way! Really?!
Be careful, would you?
We're living under the same roof.
That kind of thing makes it difficult.
That's it!
It's because I saw Sachi-chan kiss you!
What?!
You mean it's Sachi's fault?
You could say so.
There's no question that Sachi-chan kissing you was what triggered it.
So you just needed to kiss someone, and it didn't matter who.
Wrong.
I saw her kissing you and realized I didn't want her to take you from me.
Instinctively.
Don't say that like I'm a toy.
I'm engaged to you.
That's exactly the point.
So, did you figure it out?
Huh?
Yeah, I guess.
You should go take a bath.
I know.
By the way, Onii...
Your face is beet red. Did something happen?
Not really.
Uh-huh.
What was with Onii's face?
There's definitely something behind it.
It's finally happened.
