Uh...the jeans party...
Oh, come on... It was a joke!
Who would have a jeans party
at an elite club in the middle of Roppongi?
They tricked me!
"l Won't Be Hurt! "
I'm leaving.
Maybe this kind of environment...
is too much for Tsukushi.
I mean, look...
The heirs of political dynasties are here too.
Isn't it fun?
You get to meet people you'd never meet otherwise.
Huh?
What's so fun about this?
And there's so much haute cuisine...
Like fois gras, caviar...
Bet you've never had these.
Say...
Don't force her to eat things she's not used to.
You don't want her to end up with a stomach-ache.
I guess you're right.
I agree.
Girls bullying can get out of hand.
Hello, ladies.
Hello!
What college are you from?
Oh...we're from Eitoku high school.
Really? Well, you look so pretty and mature,
I thought you were college students.
Oh...you're good!
You're very unique.
Wild and individualistic.
Are you from Eitoku, too?
Yeah.
Hmm... I thought that girls from Eitoku were all alike.
I guess there are exceptional girls like you, huh?
So what's your name?
Of course, she's different.
She ran a mob outfit in junior high!
Mob outfit?
She slept around with quite a few fellows too.
S-shall we go?
Uh-huh.
That blackboard!
Yes.
We wrote it.
W-why?!
We spend an enormous amount of time and money
in order to become perfect women...
and in time, will marry perfect men.
Men like the ones from F4.
We can't stand having them stolen away from us...
by weeds like you!
And by the way...
You seem to like Rui.
It's no use because he's had his eyes on someone else for ages!
Why would he waste time on an average girl like you?
What happened?
No way will I let them get the better of me!
I believe you fully understand your position now.
Fools! You've got it all wrong!
You parasites of men!
Parasites?!
If you want the guys from F4, why don't you go after them?
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Let me call your attention to this gadget in my hand.
This amazing tool searches out one's true feelings.
You're here to hook some good-looking guy.
Huh?! W-what?!
H-hey! Stop!
You're just looking for the opportunity
to snare a rich boy!
T-that's...!
And all these glittery, fancy accessories are seduction gear.
N-no!
You are so wrong if you think this is over!
Interesting...if you want to take me on, just try it.
I may be just a weed,
but I'm immune to every kind of herbicide!
W-what?!
How terrible!
She's something else!
Rui's been in love with someone for ages!
Why would he waste time on an average girl like you?
No!
I'm not in love.
I'm not hurt. My heart doesn't ache.
Yet...
Why does my heart feel so heavy?
I'm done.
Unusual for Sis to leave her breakfast unfinished.
I know... I wonder if she's feeling sick?
I'm not in love...
Excuse me...
Did you eat a proper breakfast?
Huh?
I guess life without love isn't worth living.
The new health teacher...
The other teacher got harassed by F4 and quit.
No way will I fall in love with someone from F4!
There's no way...
I have to do something about this depression.
I can't take this.
Yo.
Maybe I'll come to see you in the emergency stairway.
Then I won't go there again.
No! Why's he here?
Don't just stand there. Sit.
You said you wouldn't come here anymore.
Got a problem?
No, I don't...
I like it here.
You can't hear the noisy fighting in the halls.
I've never seen Rui Hanazawa like this.
Oh yeah...
Do you know the time difference between Japan and France?
Huh? France? Why all the sudden?
If you don't know, never mind.
I'm so nervous...how weird.
But I'm a teeny bit happy.
See ya!
Bye-bye!
Tsukushi... we saw you.
We didn't know you've been meeting Rui over there.
How dare you humiliate us yesterday.
Come with us.
You seem to be more dense than we thought.
So we're going to make you understand.
What do you want, bringing me all the way out here?
We'll see if you're just as cocky after this.
"YY "? It's the ultimate magazine for young ladies.
Why show it to me?
"The first Japanese to become Miss Teen of France. "
"Shizuka Todo, age 19. "
"On sabbatical from Eitoku College... "
"and currently attending the Sorbonne University. "
"Father is the president of Todo Trading. "
This girl...has such an amazing background...
She's the girl Rui's been in love with for so long.
She'll soon finish up her studies in France and come home.
Do you know the time difference between Japan and France?
Well, what do you think?
Do you have a chance against her?
What's the matter? Lost your spirit?
What happened to yesterday's spunk?
I have to say something!
Understand?
Flirt all you want, but you won't win over F4.
But... I can't find any words.
We're in a different rank from you.
If you understand, hurry and leave this school!
Why? Why is it such a shock?
Love? I'm not in love.
Serves her right!
Hey you!
Who gave you permission to bring her here?
Tsukasa!
The only one allowed to bully her...is me!
You'll find red slips on your lockers tomorrow!
No!
You all right?
Don't cry. It's unlike you.
Can you stand up?
Here.
Oh... Forget it!
What's the big idea?!
Whose fault is it that I'm being treated like this?!
You moron!
What's with that attitude?!
I came here just to save you!
I never asked you to!
N-no one in the whole school dares to talk back to me...
That's because they're all cowards!
Just what is it you don't like about me?!
Tell me!
Is there someone in this world more perfect than I am?
I hate you 'cuz you're stupid.
I hate your ugly hair style.
I hate your cocky swagger!
I hate you because you're so conceited!
And I hate your sneaky snake eyes!
W-wha...?
I hate everything about you!
Damn... I'll get you for this!
Boy, what a shock! What's with him?
And those eyes...
Doesn't he realize he's the cause of this?!
It was so unexpected...
that I let him see me cry.
Is it true that Shizuka is returning from France?
Looks like it.
Akira Mimasaka and Sojiro Nishikado.
Hey! Working virgin!
P-please stop calling me that!
Come over here and have a drink.
Alcohol?! Should a high school student be drinking?
Stupid!
It's tea. Plain old tea.
It's no fun with just Akira.
Better you than no girls at all.
This is so weird.
I see...
Shizuka must've gotten so pretty.
Yeah...my mom mentioned that Shizuka's the campaign girl...
for All-Japan Airlines' Tahiti promotion...
and posters of her will go up all over town.
No wonder... Rui's been acting strange lately.
Um... What's the relationship between Rui and this Shizuka?
Shizuka is Rui's first love.
That was back when he started elementary school.
Rui's father is super strict.
Yup...even we were scared to go to his house.
Being the only son, Rui was brought up strictly.
Maybe that's how he became introverted.
He was very sensitive and didn't allow anyone to get close to him.
He's like that even now sometimes.
When we all played, he'd sit alone in the corner.
Wouldn't even laugh.
How can I put it... his eyes were dead.
He'd look fine, then suddenly start vomiting.
As kids, we didn't know what to make of him.
Around that time, Shizuka, who was two years older, came and....
Rui, let's play.
I'll take you to my special, secret place.
It's really wonderful.
There are squirrels, here in Tokyo!
Little by little, she drew Rui out.
Look, see?
Shizuka is an amazing girl.
People thought Rui should see a psychiatrist...
Yet Shizuka was able to make him smile!
My head is pounding!
Like I was hit on the head with a hammer!
Anyway, it was all one-sided on Rui's part...and never declared.
Who knows what'll happen when they meet up again.
Yeah... Goes to show, you gotta love older women.
You're missing the point, Akira.
What's wrong with me?
My legs feel so weak.
I'm not in love!
Hey, that boy's kind of cute.
Yuck! Look! He's kissing the poster!
Not you again.
T-that's my line!
You'll catch a disease, kissing something like that!
How silly to get so delirious...
Just because your first love is coming home.
Oh no! I can't stop shaking!
Say...do you like me?
Who'd...Iike...you!?
You were wishing for that, weren't you?
Are you...
...really Rui Hanazawa?
You're cute...when you look surprised.
He's playing with me! How infuriating!
Why you dysfunctional delinquent!
I don't even want to think... that I might like him!
But...
I was drowning in those eyes...
I couldn't move.
Yet...
Look! Shizuka is in an ad!
How beautiful!
I want to become like her!
So different from a weed we know.
Such a pretty dress!
Such a nice day!
I know that better than anyone else!
Huh? That's...
Tsu...kasa!
Yo!
W-what'd you do?!
Just get this straight!
I didn't do it because of what you said!
I just thought it was time for a change.
Don't take it wrong!
Wow...Iooks pretty good!
R-really? Well...
It took five hours to straighten my hair...
Damn that crooked hairstylist!
He'll pay for this!
Hey, stop laughing!
Tsukasa!
Here you are!
Shizuka is back.
Shizuka Todo...
Shizuka...
She's back from France.
Rui...
I missed you so much!
Tsukasa, what're you doing?!
I never considered you to be a decent human being!
How dare you red tag my friend!
Kazuya, run!
Hurry and run!
Our next episode: "The Ordinary Duo! "
Someone, help us!
