How's Akagi?
How's Akagi?
She seems to be doing better now.
She seems to have calmed down.
They said she'll be okay
She'll be fine after a little rest.
with a little rest.
What do you think of Akagi, Kamisato?
Kamisato, how do you feel about Akagi?
What's with the sudden question?
That's rather sudden.
Akagi is so serious that
I mean, Akagi is so serious
it's a little worrisome, no?
that it makes you worry a bit, right?
She's aiming to be a nurse
She wants to be of help to people,
because she wants to help people,
so she's aspiring to become a nurse.
and she's even proactive
And she's very active
about volunteer work.
in volunteer work, too.
She's the definition of a good student.
A picture-perfect honor student.
At first, I thought it was like
Though, I thought at first
a fashion statement.
that she did it all for appearances.
Fashion?
For appearances?
You know,
You know them,
the type of people who get involved with
people that act like they're doing
many things to make themselves look good.
lots of things to dress themselves up.
But in reality, they're empty inside,
But in the end, they're hollow inside,
so they cover it up with bragging
and they're bragging
and handing out business cards.
to cover that fact up.
They hand out business cards and stuff.
But Ikumi is different.
But Ikumi is different.
She's not doing things to brag
She's not doing it for show
or to get the upper hand.
or flexing on anyone.
She really is trying
She's genuinely trying to help people.
to be of help to someone.
Sometimes it creeps me out.
Sometimes it's creepy.
Chiharu keeps bugging me
Chiharu is being annoying,
to come back, so I'm going.
wanting me to head back, so I'm leaving.
Go ahead.
Feel free to do whatever.
Can I trust you to take care of Ikumi?
I can trust you with Ikumi?
If she needed your help,
If she needs your help,
she'd reach out to you herself, like earlier.
I'm sure Akagi will contact you herself
I'm asking because I know
just like earlier.
she'd never ask too much.
She never asks when she really is
in big trouble, so that's why I asked.

Akagi, can I come in?
Akagi, can I come in?
Yeah.
Sure.
Want me to help?
Need a hand?
Or I can call Kamisato back
I can call Kamisato back if you want.
if you'd like.
All right. Please.
Fine.
I'm pulling it down.
Please?
I'm gonna unzip it.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Anything else you want help with?
Anything else I can help you with?
I'd call Saki over
If there's more, I'll call Saki.
for anything more than this.
I'm getting changed,
I'm going to change clothes,
so don't come over here.
so don't come in here.
What happened earlier isn't an illness, right?
What I saw earlier,
It's kind of like one of those
that wasn't an illness, was it?
ghost shows you see as a kid.
It's like a ghost story you saw on TV
It's called a poltergeist, I think.
when you were a kid, right?
It happens sometimes.
I think it's called a poltergeist?
It happens every so often.
But don't worry about it.
But don't worry about it.
I know how to fix it.
I know how to fix it.
You know how,
If you know how,
but it hasn't been resolved yet.
but you still haven't,
That means it must be
that means it's not easy, right?
a difficult method, right?
Right. It's not easy.
Right. It's difficult...
Forgetting you...
to forget you, Azusagawa.
...is really, not easy at all.
It really is difficult.
You thought you had nothing
Did you think
to do with this?
you had nothing to do with this?
Why me?
Why is it me?
So you really don't remember that day.
You really don't remember anything
What I said just now was just
about that day after all.
cryptic and annoying, huh?
That just now was a bit suggestive
Hey, want to make a bet?
and annoying of me.
Whether I forget you first,
Hey, how about we have a contest?
or you remember that day first.
Will I forget about you first?
And what's in it for me?
Or will you remember
If you remember, my Puberty Syndrome
what happened that day first?
will definitely be cured.
What's in it for me?
Just so you know, I'm actually pretty
If you remember, this thing of mine,
good at remembering things.
my Puberty Syndrome will surely go away.
Glad you're getting motivated.
Let me tell you that remembering
If you win, I won't need to rely
is something I'm pretty good at.
on "#dreaming" posts anymore.
I'm glad you have the motivation now.
What's that logic?
If you win, I don't think I'll
You're saying you check
have to rely on #DREAMING anymore.
the "#dreaming" posts and help people
What kind of logic is that?
so you can forget me and cure
Are you saying you look at
your Puberty Syndrome?
the #DREAMING posts and help people out
That's right. So no matter what you say,
so that you can forget about me
I'm not going to stop.
and recover from Puberty Syndrome?
And if you win,
So no matter what you tell me,
what do I have to do?
I can't stop doing it.
Nothing.
If you win, what do I need to do?
By then, I'll have forgotten you.
You don't have to do anything.
And you have to stay out of my life.
At that point,
The game starts now.
I'd have forgotten all about you.
Ready... Go.
So please don't interfere

Well then, I should head back
We're starting from now.

Mister!
I'm glad I found you.
ENGLISH CONVERSATION
You were taking so long
Mister!
that everyone was worried about you.
I finally found you.
I'm sorry. I troubled even you, Kano-san.
We were all worried
It's fine.
because you were late.
Just now...
I'm sorry to drag you into this, Kano.
that was Ikumi-senpai, wasn't it?
Oh, it's fine.
Kano-san, you know her?
That was senior Ikumi, right?
I went to the same high school as her.
You knew her, Kano?
It was a short while,
Yes, we went to the same high school.
but she took care of me
It was only for a short time, but I helped her
when we were preparing
with preparations for the sports festival.
for the sports festival.
What was Akagi like back in high school?
What kind of person was Akagi
That's hard to say...
in high school?
I'll text Kae first
What kind, you ask?
to let her know I found you.
Oh, I'll contact Kae first
Until the spring I enrolled,
and tell her I found you.
she was the student council president.
Until the spring I entered,
Senior Ikumi was also really active
she was the student council president
in local volunteer work.
at our high school.
So she's been like that since back then.
Ikumi-senpai was active
in local volunteer work, too.
So she's always been like that.

Huh?
Huh?
Even now, she founded
Apparently, she started her
her own volunteer organization
own volunteer group
to assist schoolkids
that helps teach kids who have
who refuse to attend class.
stopped attending school.
That's so like Ikumi-senpai.
That's just like her.
She always is the first one to do things
She's always been the kind of person
that people think,
who steps up to do the things
"I wish someone would do this."
everyone else just wishes
Everyone was saying how amazing she is.
someone would do.
So Akagi had a fulfilling
Everyone said she was amazing.
high school life, huh?
So she had a fulfilling high school life, huh?
Am I wrong?
Am I wrong?
Everything I'm about to say is
From here on, it's just a rumor...
just rumors, so is that okay?
Is that okay?
Want some?
CAMELIA HALL - GENERAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION HALL
I'll have some.
Want a drink?
Were you able to see Akagi-san?
Sure, thanks.
Akagi had an older boyfriend
Did you get to meet Akagi?
back in high school.
I heard that back in high school,
She supposedly commuted to school
Akagi had an older boyfriend,
from his place.
and she was living at his place
She never went back home
and commuting from there.
and was called to the guidance counselor's
She almost never went home, and the guidance
office multiple times.
counselor had to call her in many times.
Did you hear that from Akagi-san?
Did Akagi tell you that herself?
No, I heard it as just a rumor.
No, it's just a rumor.
That's different from the image
That's quite different from the image
of Akagi-san you mentioned.
of Akagi you've been telling me about.
Yes. That's why I understand Akagi
Yeah.
even less now.
That's why I'm even more

OF TECHNOLOGY
That's from your university, right?
That's the one for your university, right?
Planning to take the exam again?
You planning
A student from my cram school is.
on taking entrance exams again?
Would that be the junior Kunimi mentioned?
My cram school student is.
Yeah, a boy named Toranosuke Kasai.
Is that student the underclassman
Did you ask why he wants to apply?
that Kunimi was talking about?
He just said it was a gut feeling.
Right. Toranosuke Kasai.
Come to think of it, there's that
Did you ask why he's applying?
old theory that poltergeists
He said he felt like it.
are caused by the unstable
By the way, there's always been a theory
emotions during puberty.
that poltergeists are caused
So you're saying that Puberty Syndrome
by unstable emotions during puberty.
has existed in every era?
So Puberty Syndrome
Based on what you've said, there's not
has existed in every generation.
enough to say anything for sure.
But I can't say much
Too many uncertainties.
with the information you just shared.
In terms of physical symptoms,
There are too many vague elements.
Kaede's case is the most similar, right?
The physical anomalies
But she didn't have any visible
are closest to Kaede's case, right?
marks on her body, did she?
But it's not like there are any scars
She had some scratch marks on her upper back,
left behind on her body, right?
near the shoulder blades.
On her back...
Like from scratching too hard.
there were scars
You saw them?
like she scratched an itch
When I was helping her change.
around her shoulder blades.
I only unzipped the back of her dress, okay?
You saw that?
Did you tell Senior Sakurajima that?
When I helped her change clothes.
Could you keep it a secret between us?
I just unzipped the zipper
Don't just go silent there.
on her back, okay?
Well, if you don't get it,
Can you tell Sakurajima-senpai that, too?
I guess we're out of luck.
Can you please keep it a secret?
But if what she said was true,
I'd really like a response here.
Well, if you can't figure it out,
I'm at a complete loss.
But if there are no lies in her stories,
there is one thing I can say.
there is one thing I can say.
Oh, nothing less from you, Futaba.
That's Futaba for you!
This is unlike you.
This is not like you that
You still haven't noticed?
you didn't realize it.
Noticed what?
Realize what?
She was in love with you, Azusagawa.
That she was in love with you.
So much that she wants to forget about it.
So badly that she wants to forget.
But nothing happened between me and Akagi.
But there was nothing
I hear there are girls in this world
between me and Akagi.
that fall head over heels
There are girls who fall head over heels
over one Choco-Cornet.
just from a single chocolate cornet, you know.
It's awfully convincing
That sounds oddly convincing
coming from you, Futaba.
coming from you.
Hurry up and remember for her
Before the ghost haunting her gets to you,
before you get attacked
you better get those memories back.
by the ghost possessing her.

A LOST KID CRYING ON THE TRAIN PLATFORM
Welcome.
AT YOKOSUKA THAT I'M PLANNING TO GO TO
Please take your seat.
THIS WEEKEND. NOBODY REALLY CARED
Hey, Koga.
FOR THE KID, BUT IT WAS REALISTIC,
Yes?
SO IT STUCK IN MY MEMORY.
You know about "#dreaming," right?
#DREAMING
Seriously, senior, right now?
I HAD A DREAM WHERE A TRAIN CRASHED
As someone with experience predicting
INTO A CAR WITH ENGINE TROUBLE
the future, what do you think of it?
LATE AFTERNOON THIS SATURDAY AT THE RAILROAD CROSSING ON MY WAY TO SCHOOL
Honestly, I don't like it.
(THAT SOUNDED STRANGE)
So you've experienced it too?
IT WAS A MINOR ACCIDENT, BUT I WAS
Not me, but Nana had
SURPRISED AND JUMPED OUT OF BED
a dream that came true.
#DREAMING
She dreamed that I'd get hit on
I HAD A DREAM WHERE I WAS SPACED OUT
by a guy at the beach.
AT A HOT SPRINGS TOWARDS THE END
OF THE YEAR. AM I THAT TIRED? #DREAMING
#DREAMING
I HAD A DREAM THAT MY NEWLY PURCHASED
BICYCLE WAS STOLEN RIGHT OUTSIDE
THE KAMAKURA TRAIN STATION! IT WAS
ON MY WAY BACK FROM AN AWAY GAME,
SO I GUESS THIS SATURDAY...
I HOPE THIS DREAM DOESN'T COME TRUE...
NOVEMBER 8TH
Welcome!
You can sit anywhere you'd like!
By the way, Koga...
What?
You know about
the DREAMING hashtag, right?
Senpai, isn't that a bit old?
As a senpai in seeing the future,
what do you think?
I have a pretty bad feeling about it.
Perhaps you experienced it as well?
Not me. Nana's dream became reality.
One where some boys
approached me at the beach...
And?
And?
In the end, Nana started dating him.
She ended up dating him.
Huh?
Huh?
It was someone from Nana's middle school.
Turned out he was a guy
Was it so shocking
from her middle school!
that Yoneyama-san beat you to it?
So you're that shocked
Th-That's not the case at all!
that Yoneyama beat you to it.
Don't rush yourself
That's not it at all!
to date some weird guy, okay?
Just don't rush into dating some
Huh? Senpai, this...
random guy out of desperation.
'Grats on your acceptance.
Eh? Senior, this is...
I haven't been accepted yet, though.
A gift to celebrate your acceptance.
You finished applying
But I haven't been accepted yet.
for priority admission
You already applied through the school
through a school recommendation, right?
recommendation program, right?
I have, but...
Well, yeah, but...
Are you planning on doing something
Are you planning on doing something
that would invalidate the recommendation?
that'll get your recommendation revoked?
Of course I'm not planning that!
Of course not!
Then, Koga, you're a college girl
Then you're basically
as seen by the world.
already a college girl.
Can I open it?
Can I open it?
Wow, I've been wanting these!
Whoa! This is the one I wanted!
They were expensive, weren't they?
It must've been expensive, right?
Zukki gave it to me
Zukki gave it to me.
when I talked to her about it.
She said she had extras.
She said she had received some extra ones.
I told her it was for my junior

Thank you, Senior!
Thank you, senpai!
Ms. Tomobe?
Ms. Tomobe.
Sakuta, it's been a while.
Sakuta, it's been a while.
So you came over
You stopped by to check on Kaede?
to check out how Kaede is doing?
I was nearby, so I thought I'd drop in.
I was in the area,
Besides, seeing Kaede always
so I thought I might as well.
gives me positive energy.
I feel cheered up myself
That's all thanks to you, Ms. Tomobe.
when I am watching Kaede.
How's university life going for you, Sakuta?
It's all thanks to you, Tomobe-san.
I'm just living my usual life.
Sakuta, how's university going?
Have you seen Ikumi Akagi
I'm spending each day normally.
at your university?
Have you seen Ikumi Akagi-san
at university?
Huh? Why do you know about Akagi?
Huh? Why do you know about Akagi?
It hasn't been that long
I haven't known her for long,
since I first got to know Akagi-san,
but she's the serious type
but she's a very serious, righteous girl.
with a strong sense of justice.
She does realize that other people
Do you think she's aware
see her in that light, right?
that people see her that way?
Right.
I think so.
More like it seems she finds a sense
In fact, she even seems to find it
of satisfaction with such an reputation.
rewarding to be seen as such.
I've been helping the volunteer
I started helping out since last month with
organization she created last month,
the volunteer organization she founded.
and that's when I heard about
Then she told me
what middle school she was from.
about her junior high school.
Did Akagi say anything about me?
Did Akagi say anything about me?
Did something happen at your university?
Did something happen between
No, not really.
you two at university?
But I was told by Akagi's friend
No, nothing in particular.
that she's been acting
It's just that one of Akagi's friends told me
a bit strange lately.
she's been acting a little strange lately.
If Akagi was worried about something,
If Akagi were troubled by something,
what do you think it would be?
what do you think it might be?
The most likely one is
The most likely thing is probably
being in love with someone, I guess?
that she's in love with someone.
Is there anything else?
Is there anything else it could be?
Let's see. What else...
Well, maybe...
Something about me?
Is it anything to do with me?
Perhaps she just didn't want
Perhaps she didn't want to see you, Sakuta.
to see you again, Sakuta.
I think not being able to help you might
I'm thinking that the fact
have been Akagi's biggest failure in her life.
she couldn't save you
She probably regrets it
was the biggest setback
and still carries that with her.
Akagi-san has ever felt.
Um, Ms. Tomobe...
Perhaps she still regrets that and is
Can I ask you a favor?
dragging those feelings to this day.
Um, Tomobe-san...
there is a favor I'd like to ask.

You have plans after this?
Azusagawa, you have sharp eyes.
You sure have a sharp eye.
Are you going to protect
Are you going to help
the lost girl in Yokosuka?

Or are you going to stop the accident
Or stop the railroad crossing accident?

There was a stolen bicycle too.

You're not planning to go
So you looked it up.

You can't possibly
How many more people do you have to save

How many more people do you need to save

Did you remember something?

I was thinking you might be regretting
I thought maybe you regretted not being

and are dragging that feeling to this day.

Let me go.
TOMORROW
When you get involved,
Let go of me...
nothing good ever happens.
Nothing good ever happens
So the reason really is me.
when I get involved with you, Azusagawa.
Perhaps you also know
So I really am the cause.
what that poltergeist is about as well?
Do you know what this poltergeist is?
If I told you that, too,
If I tell you, it wouldn't be
we wouldn't be having a contest.
a fair contest anymore.
Ikumi.
Ikumi...
I told you
I told you we were done
that I can't see you anymore, right?
seeing each other.
I'm sorry.
Sorry. I just really wanted you
I just wanted you to hear me out.
to hear me out...
I have something to do right now.
I have somewhere to be. Sorry.
I'm sorry.
Are you Azusagawa by any chance?
You— Perhaps you're Azusagawa?
We dated for about a year in high school.
We were dating for about a year
back when she was in high school.
You heard about me from Akagi?
You heard about me from Akagi?
She showed me
She once showed me her
her middle school yearbook before.
junior high graduation album.
I heard a bit
She told me a bit about what
about what happened in class at that time.
happened in class back then,
She seemed to be
and she seemed fixated on you.
awfully worried about you.
Why did you two break up?
Why did you break up?
Last year, I was swamped with job hunting
I was so busy
and had no energy left to care for her.
trying to find a job last year.
I applied to 50 companies
I didn't have enough in me
and got rejected by all of them.
to be considerate to her.
During that time,
I applied for 50 companies,
she always supported me.
and I got rejected by all of them.
She'd come over, cook for me,
She had supported me through all of that.
and even iron my interview shirts.
She came over to my room, made meals,
And when I went out for interviews,
and ironed the shirts
she never once said "Good luck" to me.
I'd wear to the interviews.
She probably thought
Even when I was heading out
it would add pressure.
for an interview,
I don't see any real reason
she never once said, "Do your best."
for you two to break up so far.
She must have thought
I was so worn down that I thought
that would add to my mental pressure.
her presence was suffocating.
For now, I'm not getting an idea
Before I knew it, I told her,
of why you would break up.
I was filled with anxiety,
and I ended up feeling
such a person like Ikumi was annoying.
Before I knew it, I mouthed off,
"Leave me alone for a while."
"Leave me alone for a while."
That's pretty crummy.
That's pretty awful.
I do think so myself.
I know.
And so,
Then why is this ex-boyfriend of hers
being the ex-boyfriend that you are,
suddenly meeting her now?
why'd you decide to come see Akagi
She posted something on social media.
at this point in time?
That she had a dream where she committed
She had written on social media
an assault and got arrested.
that she had a dream where was arrested
Akagi did?
due to an incident of bodily injury.
You've heard the rumors
Akagi would be?
about "#dreaming," right?
You know the rumors going around, right?
When I saw that, I got worried.
That #DREAMING thing.
Maybe I shouldn't have left her alone.
I just felt uneasy after seeing this.
She's the type who supports
I thought it was perhaps a bad idea
herself by supporting others.
to leave Ikumi alone.
Not exactly the kind of thing
Because there's a side of her
an adult should believe in, though.
that supports herself
Do you know the date?
by supporting someone else.
It says November 27th.
It's not something
That was the day of our junior high reunion...
that adults would believe in.
ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE ALUMNI REUNION
Do you know what date that was?
That was the day of our junior high reunion...
It says "November 27th."
What are you doing
The middle school reunion.
at the university on a Saturday?
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
INFORMATION
It's Saturday.
What are you doing at the university?
What did you do to Akagi?
What did you do to Akagi?
I merely handed out presents,
I just handed out presents.
presents that they all wished for.
The presents that everyone wanted.
So Santa Claus also handles poltergeists.
So Santa Claus deals
What's that? Her Puberty Syndrome
with poltergeists too, huh?
is nothing like that.
What's that?
Is #DREAMING also your doing,
Her Puberty Syndrome isn't like that.
Kirishima-san?
Is "#dreaming" also your doing, Kirishima?
Everyone gets worried about their futures,
Isn't everyone worried about the future?
don't they?
So you show them
So that's why you show them their futures
the future in their dreams?
in their dreams?
I didn't show them anything.
It's not like I showed them myself.
They're just seeing it on their own.
They're having those dreams
of their own accord.
Then, one more thing.
Then, one more thing.
Can I have your phone number?
Please give me your phone number.
What do you study at university?
What is your major at university?
Statistical science.
Statistical science.
Then that might be perfect.
Then that's perfect.
If you're a STEM type,
You science students

When we were pulling out
GRADUATION
all the winter clothes, we found this.
I was getting out the winter clothes
The moving service noticed that it was
GRADUATION
in the trash to throw out when we moved
and found it.
and brought it over to me.
Apparently, it had gotten mixed in
CLASS 3-1
with the moving trash,
but one of the movers noticed
and brought it to me.
CLASS 3-1
CLASS 3-1
When I graduated from grade school,
When I graduated from elementary school,
I wrote in my graduation essay...

IKUMI AKAGI
"I want to become an adult
"I want to become an adult
that can be of help to others."
IKUMI AKAGI
In my first year, I was a class rep.

In prepping and running
In my first year, I served

as class representative
along with my seniors,
and worked together with
I had a very fulfilling time.
upperclassmen to prepare and run
My memories of the second year
- the sports festival and cultural festival.
definitely are of the student council.
- My most memorable experience in my second year
Student council work as the secretary
- the sports festival and cultural festival.
was very new to me and worth doing.
- was the student council.
The work I took part in as secretary
was all fresh and rewarding.
In my third year,
In my third year,
I couldn't do anything at all.

That's why in my high school years,
That's why I want to become an adult
I want to surely become an adult

So Akagi really did regret it.

MEMORIES OF JUNIOR HIGH DAYS
MEMORIES OF MIDDLE SCHOOL LIFE
CLASS 3-1, IKUMI AKAGI
CLASS 3-1, SAKUTA AZUSAGAWA
Do you remember what you wrote
Azusagawa, do you remember what you wrote
in our junior high graduation essay?
for your graduation essay
You wrote, "Someday, I want to
in middle school?
find my way to kindness."
I mean, you wrote,
MEMORIES OF JUNIOR HIGH DAYS
"Someday, I'd like to reach kindness."
That's not written anywhere!
MIDDLE SCHOOL LIFE HAD FUN TIMES AND
CLASS 3-1, IKUMI AKAGI
TOUGH TIMES, BUT I BELIEVE THEY ARE
That's not written anywhere!
ALL CATALYSTS FOR US TO GROW UP.
You know, Sakuta...
FROM HERE ON, NEW ENCOUNTERS AWAIT,
I think life is about becoming kind.
AND I'M SURE EVERYONE'S FUTURES
I WANT TO LIVE CHERISHING THE WORDS
HAVE WONDERFUL EVENTS.
I think life is about becoming kind.
AS WE EACH WALK OUR OWN PATH, I'D LIKE
'THANK YOU,' "YOU DID YOUR BEST,'
TO LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THEM AGAIN.
I think life is about becoming kind.
I didn't write anything of the sort
AND ‘I LOVE YOU.'
in here at all.
I think life is about becoming kind.
What I think, Sakuta...
SOMEDAY, I HOPE TO BECOME A KIND PERSON.
is that life is meant
I think life is about becoming kind.
for us to become kinder.
That was something I heard from Shoko.
I WILL LIVE ON, CHERISHING THE PHRASES
Back then, I still didn't clearly
"THANK YOU," "YOU DID YOUR BEST,"
remember meeting her.
AND "I LOVE YOU."
So there's no way
SOMEDAY, I WANT TO BECOME A KIND PERSON.
I could have written it.
Those were words
Could it be that she...
that I heard from Shoko-san.
Back then, I had not clearly remembered
the fact that I had met Shoko-san yet.
So there's no way I could write that.
Perhaps she...
