Tomorrow I Will Date With Yesterday's You (My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday / Boku wa asu, kinou no kimi to dêto suru / ぼくは明日、昨日のきみとデートする)

It was love at first sight.

On my usual commute to school,

I suddenly found myself head over heels.

In response, my first thought was,

“Gimme a break”.

This is Shugakuin Station.

After all, this is someone I'll never see again.

Once I get off the train, that'll be it.

I know what I'll do.

If we get off the same station, I'll talk to her.

Right, that's what...

This is Takaragaike Station.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Um...

Day 1.

Will you give me your email?

I saw you on the train, and...

I think I'm in love with you.

I know this is sudden, but it's true! I'm even surprised myself...

I don't have a cell phone.

What?

Oh.

I get it.

I catch...

your drift.

Bye.

That's not what I meant!

I really don't have one

I'm Takatoshi Minamiyama

I'm twenty

I'm Emi Fukuju I'm twenty, too.

Oh, we're the same age Huh...

Oh, nothing

I'm studying cartoons at the art school up ahead.

Cartoons?

You know, like those satirical drawings of politicians

I might've seen those before How unusual.

I go to a cosmetology school

ls there one nearby?

No, I just forgot to get off

I just moved here.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

Why me?

Like... what about me'?

I don't know.

I just knew instinctively that you're the one...

and I had to talk to you.

Otherwise, there's no way

Sorry, that's creepy.

Oh, no.

The Demachiyanagi-bound train will soon arrive at platform 3.

By the way, Takaragaike is my...

You have to go?

I should get going.

Bye.

Wait!

Will I see you...

again?

What's wrong?

It's just...

a sad thing happened

I'll see you again.

Until then.

Until then.

Until tomorrow.

“Until tomorrow,” she said.

You, picking up girls?

I wasn't picking her up.

- Good morning, Ueyama. - Hey.

I was dead serious.

Serious about picking her up

I guess...

Thought you were only into drawing.

Show me a picture of her.

- Didn't take any. - Then draw her.

Don't be ridiculous.

And you didn't even get her number?

I'm not smooth like you, okay?

So what should I do'?

- I'm sure you'll see her. - What?

You told her about this school?

Yeah, and my major.

Then she'll come find you.

You think?

It'll be fine!

Ow...

Later

Ueyama is good with girls but loose about things.

That looseness always helps me out, though.

The next day...

I looked for her on the train.

I boarded at the same time.

I had assumed

that “Until tomorrow” meant meeting on the train again.

Good.

Looks great.

The one that'll get displayed at school.

Huh?

Nice lines on the bottom.

Oh, it's nice, right? The neck came out well, too.

Why are you here?

I said “Until tomorrow”.

Day 2.

And you said you'll be drawing here.

Oh... did I?

Wow, giraffes are so big.

Hey, weren't you about to say something yesterday?

What?

Something about Takaragaike...

Oh, it's one of my favorite places, is all.

Huh.

- I want to go. - What?

What, now?

Now.

It's kind of a special place for me.

Huh.

I was five, and it was about this time of year.

I fell off that pier and was drowning.

Just when I thought I'd die,

some woman came and saved me.

I remember how tightly she held me.

So you owe your life to her.

I nearly died when I was five, too.

Seriously?

What a coincidence.

Oh, before I forget...

Would you mind giving me your phone number?

Oh, sure.

Oops, not this one.

Here.

Thanks

Emi Fukuju 075-117-XXXX.

- You can't be serious. - Huh?

Take her to coffee or dinner later! Or at least set the next date.

That's too sudden.

You told her you love her.

And she went out of her way to come see you, right?

And you were happy just getting her number?

Bet she was confused when you said goodbye.

Like, “I thought he likes me, why won't he ask me out?”

Then what should I do?

Call her right now.

- What? - Ask her out.

- Now? - Now!

But...

If you can't do that, you'll never date anyone.

Okay... I'll call her.

Good!

How do I start?

Well, like “Thanks for today,” or... Oh, c'mon!

Wait, what're you doing? Hey...

The phone's ringing! Write what I should say.

- You serious? - Just write it.

Hello?

Is this Fukuju san?

Minamiyama san?

Um, yeah... Uh...

Thank her for today first!

Thanks for coming today

I was happy

I was happy to see you.

I was happy to see you, too.

The reason I called you is...

Movie! Safe bet.

Do you wanna go see a movie?

Uh...

I recommend Minami-Kaikan!

There's a good one playing at Minami-Kaikan.

- What is that? - Don't worry!

Okay, sure.

Oh really? Great!

When are you free?

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Say yes!

Okay, tomorrow at 1 pm, then.

We'll meet at...

Sanjo Bridge!

Know where Sanjo Bridge is?

Good, we'll meet there.

Okay... See you.

I did it! Thank you, Ueyama!

Get off me!

You're amazing!

Sorry, sorry.

- Hey, Takatoshi. - Oh, hey!

Sorry, I'm in a rush.

Your assignment from yesterday is up on display.

What?

Oh!

Ueyama gave me tips on going on a date.

First, arrive early and browse the area.

Don't be that guy who's lost or nervous.

And show her what you enjoy.

If you can't share that joy, there's no point dating her

I'll try today's special

I'd love for her to try this, I thought.

And that's when I realized...
