00:00Um, why am I the only one hauling this?
00:04My name's Leo Inoue, just your average high school student.
00:08My motto?
00:10Keep it chill and sail through life without making a fuss.
00:13But man, I always find myself caught up in trouble and shenanigans.
00:17Phew, this is getting heavy, but I gotta hustle and get it to the prep room ASAP!
00:23Woah!
00:24Huh?
00:25Ow, ow, ow!
00:28My bad, didn't see you coming!
00:30Ugh, no need to apologize, so just get out of here!
00:34Huh?
00:35Woah, woah!
00:36My bad, sorry!
00:38Step.
00:39Aside.
00:40Now!
00:41Y-yeah!
00:42Sorry!
00:43Sorry!
00:44Turns out, I accidentally bumped into and knocked down Julia Yoshida.
00:49She runs a martial arts gym and has been into combat sports since she was a kid.
00:54And get this, she's the captain of the karate club.
00:57A real badass.
00:59But here's the kicker, she can't stand guys.
01:02She's known for being cold as ice towards guys, and nice to the ladies.
01:07I'm really sorry!
01:08Keep your eyes forward when you walk.
01:11If it were any other girl, they'd be hurt right now.
01:14You're absolutely right.
01:16Just be more careful next time, got it?
01:19G-gotcha!
01:20Well, I guess I'll get going.
01:23Oh, woah!
01:24Huh?
01:26What on earth are you doing?
01:28Seems like I stepped on some paper.
01:30Ugh, such a klutz.
01:32Ahaha.
01:33If you keep sitting there, you'll bother everyone.
01:37Get up already!
01:39Wahahahaha!
01:40I see through your disguise, you scoundrel!
01:45Shut it!
01:46This ain't a running track, can you just stop it already?
01:49Wahahahaha!
01:54Huh?
01:55Wait, what?
01:56What's happening right now?
01:58I-I just, like, kissed, with Julia!
02:02What the heck?!
02:04Mmmmm!
02:05Having my first kiss stolen like this!
02:09Nah, this was totally an accident!
02:11I mean, like-
02:12Unforgivable!
02:14Huh?
02:15I can't forgive this!
02:17Yeah, no way I can forgive it!
02:20You prepared, like for real?
02:24Wh-what do you mean?
02:25To atone for taking my first kiss!
02:28Meet me at the karate club after school.
02:30I'll give you your punishment.
02:33Gonna straighten out that pervy spirit of yours!
02:37But, like, it's not really my fault!
02:41And so, after school, my fate awaits.
02:44I wonder what's gonna happen to me.
02:46Alright then.
02:47Gonna change into a uniform, or should I led you one from our club?
02:51I'm good with this.
02:53Fine, then get in your fighting stance.
02:55I'll toughen you up real good, so brace yourself!
03:00Uh, please go easy on me.
03:02Alright then!
03:04Oops!
03:05Whoa!
03:06Ugh, you're surprisingly good!
03:09You're slick at dodging, huh?
03:11Heh, but how about this?
03:14Ah!
03:15Ah!
03:16Oh crap, I reflexively counterattacked because she threw a solid punch!
03:20Huh?
03:21Did I... lose?
03:24Oh no!
03:25Sorry, I totally went all out, right?
03:28You hurt?
03:29You okay?
03:30Uh, um...
03:32Alright, let's go to the nurse's office.
03:35I didn't intend to strike you.
03:37Hey, what are you doing?
03:39Just stay quiet until we get there.
03:41Did you sprain your leg or hit something hard?
03:44I'm fine, I managed to take a fall.
03:48By the way, you're really strong.
03:52Huh?
03:53No way!
03:54That was just a coincidence, or, well...
03:57Hey, what's going on you two?
03:59Oh, um...
04:01She might be injured.
04:03So, can you take care of her?
04:05Thank you!
04:06Well then, I gotta go!
04:08Hey, wait!
04:10Oh no, oh no, I messed up!
04:13Did she realize I have experience?
04:15I tried to act inconspicuous, but damn!
04:19You see, I'm actually experienced in martial arts.
04:23Everyone in my family is into some form of combat.
04:26The essence of martial arts is already ingrained in my DNA.
04:30Since I was young, I've been practicing various martial arts and excelling at them.
04:35While my family and peers hailed me as a prodigy, I never really liked competing even in sports.
04:43So, after entering high school, I only casually trained to keep my body fit.
04:48And yet, I messed up big time!
04:50I was so careless!
04:52And I was actually planning to lose, but I ended up winning!
04:56I hope Julia forgets about what happened today.
04:59The next day...
05:01I should try to avoid being seen by Julia.
05:04It'll be troublesome if she asks me to explain what happened.
05:07Found ya!
05:08Huh?
05:09Good morning, Leo!
05:11G-good morning.
05:12Let's have a rematch during lunch today.
05:15A rematch? Why?
05:17You don't have the right to refuse.
05:20Come to the karate club during lunch break.
05:23If you run away, you know what's gonna happen, right?
05:27Alright.
05:29And during lunch break, I found myself facing Julia once again.
05:34Alright then, let's do this!
05:36Please go easy on me.
05:38Ha!
05:40As for the result of the match...
05:42Ah! I messed up again!
05:45When a clean kick or punch comes at me, I instinctively tense up!
05:49How am I gonna explain this?
05:52Alright, time to make my escape.
05:54W-we done with this match, right?
05:57Well, I'm outta here. Peace out!
05:59Hold up!
06:01Whoa!
06:02Mountain, my darling!
06:04D-darling?
06:06Wait a sec!
06:07Didn't you hate guys?
06:09I'm not into weak guys.
06:11Leo, you're strong enough to take me down.
06:15After seeing this manly side of you,
06:18I think I've fallen for you.
06:20Whaaat?
06:22You gotta take responsibility and date me with marriage in mind!
06:26Cut the jokes, please!
06:28I'm dead serious!
06:30Don't be embarrassed. I'll love you to the max!
06:33Oh, come on! Give me a break!
06:35After that, I managed to slip away from Julia.
06:39It was sudden and surprising, but I wanted to believe it was some kind of joke.
06:43With that in mind, it was already after school.
06:47Somehow, Julia had grabbed hold of my arm.
06:50How did it end up like this?
06:52Anyway, I gotta do something about her!
06:55Hey, Julia.
06:57Yeah?
06:58About this dating thing, let's talk it through.
07:02S-sorry, I...
07:04This is the time when you usually get hungry, huh?
07:08Let's drop by the convenience store.
07:10Hmm? I smell something good.
07:13Julia, over there!
07:15Takoyaki! Want some takoyaki?
07:18Ron!
07:19Welcome! How about some takoyaki?
07:22They're all delicious!
07:24The one selling takoyaki was Ron,
07:26my classmate at the same school.
07:28One takoyaki from the pack of six, please!
07:31Sure thing! Here you go!
07:33Here, Julia.
07:35You sure?
07:36I bought it because I wanted to eat it together.
07:39So, it'd make me happy if you ate it.
07:41Well then.
07:43It's delicious!
07:45Glad you like it.
07:47Hey, can we go home together on days without club activities?
07:51That's, uh...
07:53Not gonna happen?
07:55Another teary-eyed attack!
07:57I'm weak against that!
07:59Fine. We can go home together.
08:02Yay!
08:04I can't refuse when she looks at me like that!
08:07From that day on, Julia launched an intense attack.
08:11On days without morning practice,
08:13we went to school together,
08:15and it became natural to walk home together.
08:17We started having lunch together,
08:19hanging out after school,
08:21and spending more and more time together.
08:23And as time went on,
08:25I gradually found myself drawn to her.
08:28So, one day after school,
08:30when we were walking home together...
08:33Hey, Julia!
08:35Why are you walking with some other dude?
08:37Wh-why are you here?
08:39Coincidence, man!
08:41I'm walking home from school, too!
08:43By the way, who's this guy?
08:45Is he the reason you've been ditching
08:47the martial arts classes lately?
08:49Well...
08:51I've been waiting for you, you know!
08:53Ugh...
08:55Um, I think you're making her uncomfortable.
08:57Could you, like, stop messing around
08:59for no reason?
09:01Huh? Shut up, man!
09:03Me and Julia are engaged!
09:05Don't go sticking yourself between us!
09:07Engaged?!
09:09Don't say unnecessary things!
09:11I haven't accepted you as my fiancé, okay?
09:13Let's go, Leo.
09:17So, um, about this engaged thing...
09:19Well, you see...
09:23Apparently, the fiancé thing is real.
09:26The Yoshida family, who've been running
09:28a karate gym for generations,
09:30needs a successor, and the condition
09:32is that the successor must be
09:34a strong individual.
09:36So, Julia's parents arranged
09:38a fiancé for her, thinking about
09:40Julia's happiness and the successor matter.
09:42But this guy, Julia's fiancé,
09:44seems nice on the surface,
09:46but his true nature
09:48is just plain rough.
09:50He apparently told her,
09:52once we get married, I'll take over the gym,
09:54That guy's a hypocrite,
09:56even in his own house.
09:58Neither our parents nor his
10:00know about his bad side.
10:02But still, I refuse to silently obey!
10:04Besides,
10:06I only want to marry someone
10:08I truly acknowledge.
10:10Julia...
10:12If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.
10:14If something happens to you,
10:16I'll protect you.
10:18Huh? Protect?
10:20Uh, no, I mean, you know,
10:22forceful stuff is no good, so...
10:24Leo, you're so kind.
10:26Thanks.
10:28You're welcome.
10:30But still, a fiancé, huh?
10:32If he's pretending even at home,
10:34maybe he's venting his stress outside.
10:36In that case,
10:38I need to do some research.
10:40Maybe I should ask that guy for help too.
10:42By the way,
10:44your birthday is in a month, right?
10:46Yeah, that's right.
10:48You remembered it.
10:51Of course I remember the birthday of someone I like!
10:53So,
10:55on your birthday,
10:57I want to go on a date and shower you with celebration!
10:59For real?
11:01Well then, thanks! Can't wait!
11:03I'll come up with
11:05the ultimate Leo date plan!
11:07With that promise made,
11:09time passed by.
11:11But a week before my birthday date,
11:13Julia started acting strange.
11:15She stopped clinging to me
11:17or seeking my affection.
11:19And whenever I tried to talk to her,
11:21she completely avoided me.
11:23And one day after school,
11:25why is she suddenly avoiding me?
11:27I have no clue what's going on.
11:29Yo, what's up?
11:31Why are you looking so troubled?
11:33Ron, actually, you know...
11:35You got any idea what's up?
11:37Hmm...
11:39This might sound like a soliloquy,
11:41but...
11:43Seems like Julia's fiancé
11:45told Julia to stay away from you.
11:48Huh?
11:50Apparently, if she refuses,
11:52the guy threatened to make you suffer.
11:54She said something like,
11:56I think Leo can handle it,
11:58but I don't want to hurt him just because of me.
12:00So,
12:02she decided to back off.
12:04Or at least it seemed that way.
12:06Thanks, Ron!
12:08Takoyaki is all the things
12:10I need!
12:12Sure thing!
12:14I had no idea about all this drama.
12:16Guess I need to talk it out properly.
12:18But I don't want to be cut off guard
12:20if something happens.
12:22Otakuta, hey,
12:24about that favor I asked for...
12:26Julia!
12:28Leo? What's up?
12:30I'm busy right now.
12:32Julia, you're hiding something from me, aren't you?
12:34Ugh...
12:36He told you to stay away from me, right?
12:38Your fiancé.
12:40Thanks for worrying about me.
12:42But I don't want you to be troubled because of me.
12:44I'll be fine, so don't worry.
12:46Leo...
12:48I told you to rely on me, didn't I?
12:50So be honest and open up.
12:52Leo...
12:54Help me.
12:56Of course I will.
12:58Let's settle this once and for all.
13:00Oh, look who's here!
13:02What's up, you two?
13:04I want to challenge you to a duel.
13:06If I win, I want you to end your engagement with her.
13:08Ha! Fine by me.
13:10But if I win,
13:13I will obey every command for life.
13:15Sure, whatever.
13:17Alright then, get ready.
13:19I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget.
13:21Your villainous fist won't even touch me.
13:23Ha!
13:25Don't be so cocky.
13:27I'll take you down right away!
13:29I ain't gonna lose!
13:33A few minutes later...
13:35I won!
13:37What a joke! This doesn't count!
13:39Do you think I'd admit that I lost?
13:41Let's do one more.
13:43It's pathetic to refuse to admit defeat.
13:45D-Dad!
13:47Why are you here?
13:49This kid asked me to come along.
13:51You, causing trouble everywhere you go, huh?
13:53W-What are you talking about?
13:55Look at this picture.
13:57What the...
13:59Why do you have all that?
14:01I asked a reliable friend
14:03to gather evidence just in case.
14:05If you hide your true nature at home,
14:07you're bound to let off steam outside.
14:10So I wanted to collect proof of that
14:12and show it to your parents.
14:14You piece of...
14:16That ain't fair!
14:18What do you mean it's not fair?
14:20You need a lesson and some discipline!
14:22Get your ass over here!
14:24Ow! Ow! Ow!
14:26I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!
14:28Thanks for helping me out, Otakura!
14:30No problem at all.
14:32It's nothing.
14:34What's going on?
14:36I had a secret weapon ready for when things went south.
14:38It was my ace in the hole
14:40for when he threw a tantrum
14:42and refused to break off the engagement.
14:44I thought if I gathered evidence
14:46of his bad behavior and handed it over to his parents,
14:48they would make him stop being her fiancé.
14:50So I called them
14:52and told them to come here
14:54so that I can give them the photos.
14:56You did all of that just for me?
14:58Thanks, Leo!
15:00Well, of course.
15:02I don't want the person I love to suffer.
15:04Huh?
15:06Love?
15:08I've fallen for you, Julia.
15:10Will you go out with me?
15:12What? I love you too, Leo!
15:14And so, Julia and I
15:16officially started dating.
15:18By the way,
15:20the engagement was called off due to this incident.
15:22Both of that guy's parents apologized to her.
15:24Julia's ex-fiancé
15:26isolated himself in the mountains
15:28until he showed genuine remorse
15:30and worked on improving himself physically
15:32and mentally.
15:35Since we started dating, Julia and I
15:37have been lovey-dovey even at school.
15:39We don't care about other people's eyes
15:41and enjoy our sweet moments at school
15:43becoming the most lovey-dovey couple.
15:45And as time goes by...
15:47Happy birthday, Julia!
15:49Let's celebrate
15:51our birthdays together next year
15:53and the year after too!
15:55Yeah, of course!
15:57I love you,
15:59Leo, my darling.
16:01The love story sparked by trouble-prone
16:03personalities seems to continue
16:05for a long time.
