You and I Are Polar Opposites (正反対な君と僕)

Spring has come

Spring has come.

Wanna meet up tomorrow?

With pleasure!

They're done being second-years,

and they're all spending spring break in their own ways.

YOU AND I ARE

POLAR OPPOSITES

Spring Break

With Nishi and Yamada

This isn't what I had in mind.

GLOOM

Finishing my school assignments early makes me feel more at ease.

Once we're done, let's go somewhere, okay? For a fun date.

A date?

The way he can say that with zero hesitation is amazing.

Ni...

Nishi-san, is there anywhere you wanna go?

What?

Um, I'm not sure.

I'd like to go to the aquarium.

Oh, it's sparkling!

Ni...shi-san, do you like the aquarium?

Yes!

When I was little, my family had an annual pass to the local aquarium,

so we went pretty often.

It's my first time here, but I've been wanting to come for a while and...

Really? I see.

I just bulldozed the conversation with my sudden speed-talking.

Whoa! A merry-go-round!

It's unusual for an aquarium to have one.

I wanna ride! I wanna ride!

Do you wanna ride?

What?

No, it's all right.

Mingling with the children...

You sure?

I should've realized that taking someone somewhere I want to go

would be nerve-racking.

I'm suddenly feeling worried.

I hope that Yamada-kun doesn't think this is boring.

Well, let's go.

That way

Y-Yes!

Onward!

We going into battle?

Whoa, this is beautiful!

STARE

DAZED

GASP

I was so absorbed, I ended up staring.

Wait, are we spending too much time at the beginning?

It's pretty, isn't it?

Right?

Let's go around as quickly as possible.

Jellyfish!

This room's amazing.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

If I suddenly pulled out a big camera,

would it seem like I'm the only one who's super serious?

Brought just in case...

Na...

Nice, but look at the time.

We have to get seats for the dolphin show.

Oh, the seats are already so full.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Huh? About what?

Oh, there are seats over there!

Oh, we're so close!

These seats are awesome!

This area is a splash zone where a lot of water will come your way!

What?

Whoa, for real?

What do I do?

Will he hate this? He'll definitely hate it.

WORRIED...

I wonder how wet we'll get.

Um, if we move back...

We'll need ponchos, right?

What?

I'll go buy some!

DONNED

It's so cute!

Let's take one together!

Oh

We're already at the end?

Is there anywhere we missed?

Are you okay with leaving?

I, um...

Is it okay for me to look at the tanks at the beginning a little longer?

Yeah! Of course!

Is there anything alive in there?

Just wait... See? Over there.

You're right!

Thank you for coming with me. I'm satisfied now.

Um, I've got something I regret not doing. Do you mind?

What?

Yay!

You wanted to ride it.

HEE HEE

Yeah. I'm good now. Thanks.

Whoa, this is awesome!

At the beginning, I was terrified that I might be the only one enjoying myself.

Huh? Why?

I was having fun the whole time.

I'm glad.

When I'm really focused on something, I get this sort of tunnel vision.

Whoa. I'm the opposite. I look at basically the whole thing at once!

Look at the fish

I guess a dope fish expert would think that's heretical.

Bonehead

What are you talking about?

I mean, it's like...

Natsumi-chan, if you're having fun, then I'm having fun.

So, you can relax more.

Natsumi-chan?

I kinda forced that, huh? How embarrassing!

But, I mean, calling you "Nishi-san" was kinda... you know?

Natsumi-chan...

Yes?

Natsumi...

Nacchan!

I-I'll leave it to you.

Spring Break

With Suzuki and Tani

March 29th

March 30th

Hello?

Oh! Why are you calling?

Happy birthday.

Yay, thank you!

On the dot

Is there anywhere near the park you want to go tomorrow?

Hm, I don't know.

I might wanna just wander around without deciding too much.

Miyu! You up?

AAAAA

D-Dad!

Sorry, Tani-kun! See you tomorrow!

Huh? Tani-kun? Oh, did he call—

Prep School

University Entrance Exam Course

It's spring and we needed somewhere to go.

Which is why we're out for a stroll through the cherry blossoms!

Azusatonabe and I were here not long ago,

but there are even more blossoms now.

Oh, is that when you took that photo you sent?

Yeah! We strolled through the cherry blossoms and celebrated my birthday, too.

They even gave me presents.

Really?

GASP

Wait.

Oh no...

I didn't mean it like that...

Does it seem like I'm bugging him for a present?

I wanted to be the first one to wish you a happy birthday...

But, it's not like it's the earlier the better for this.

Feeling conflicted about getting beaten to the punch

GLANCE

Actually, it seems like...

SUPER FULL

his bag is huge, isn't it?

What am I gonna do if he's prepared some crazy surprise for me?

Oh, speaking of which...

What?

I brought a plastic sheet to sit on. Where do you want to reserve our spot?

Oh...

BLUSH

Th-Thanks...

I brought something warm to drink.

What? You're amazing!

Do let me know if you need a wet wipe.

Subtly hinting she came prepared

Thank you.

Where did you take this?

Near Azu's house!

We were kinda thinking of inviting Taira, too, but...

Oh, right! Taira lives around here, doesn't he?

Wanna invite him?

Let's do it! Let's do it!

Wouldn't it be rough having just one guy?

With this group, is that really something to worry about?

Still, it's too sudden, isn't it?

I wonder if he would've shown up if we asked him.

He'd probably act annoyed at first,

then end up coming anyway.

That's wild. I can picture it so clearly, I can't help laughing.

All that aside, the weather is perfect today!

It's really spring.

Every year, as the last lingering chill in the air fades,

giving way to the warm sunlight, I finally feel that winter's over,

and that lots of things are about to begin.

Didn't you say it made you feel lonely a little while ago?

That's the advent of spring.

How complicated.

If only...

times like this lasted forever.

Café

This looks delicious!
