My name is Karasuma Sakura.
I teach English at a certain high school.
Faculty Office
Karasuma-sensei.
Good morning.
Don't run in the hallway.
Okay.
I adore all my students.
Every day is so much fun.
Good morning, everyone.
Oh?
You've all got the wrong textbooks.
No, actually...
Your class is next door.
Huh?
What?!
Oh, no!
Really?
I won't let this get me down!
I will now return your tests.
Oomiya-san.
Yes.
Oomiya-san, I can feel your enthusiasm, but...
No, no...
Dreams of Becoming an Interpreter
She's no good at English,
Dreams of Becoming an Interpreter
but she's doing all she can to pursue her dream.
Dreams of Becoming an Interpreter
That's a wonderful thing.
Try a little harder next time.
I will.
A for Effort
I got an A for effort!
Sensei, please don't go so easy on her.
A for Effort
Can you translate this sentence into Japanese, Inokuma-san?
Right!
I don't know the answer!
No shame at all?!
But I think Komichi-san knows the answer.
What?
Komichi-san is smart, and she works very hard.
Hey...
S-Sensei, will you allow me to answer the question?
What?
Sure.
Go ahead.
C'mon, hurry up!
And Shino said she has trouble understanding this part.
Shino's not very good at perfect tense.
Shino can't understand any sentence longer than five words.
You really like Oomiya-san, don't you?
I like her, too.
Why's she making that face?!

Stare...
The Wonderful Five
Do you get it?
It's easy if you think of it this way.
Yes, I understand now.
Good.
She's watching us.
Stare...
From right in front of me, even.
Sorry, Karasu-chan.
I didn't think you'd be that surprised.
Sensei, you dropped something.
Is it a photo of your boyfriend?
N-No, it's a photo of my pet.
It's a rabbit.
It's so cute.
What's its name?
Isn't it cute?
What?
Oh, um... It's...
Blush
I-It's a secret.
Blush
Why?
Blush
You're acting awfully suspicious, Karasu-chan.
I'm not suspicious at all.
What's its name, Karasu-chan?
Karasuma-sensei's nickname is "Karasu-chan".
It'd be nice if you had a nickname that was easier to say.
Like what?
Ka... Karasu...
Oh, Karasumi!
N-Not that!
Did she have a bad experience with the mullet roe dish, karasumi?!
In any case, I want a nickname, too.
You want one now?
Yes.
Something like Ayaya.
You just started calling me that on your own.
My name is Shinobu, so my nickname is Shino.
Something like that would be nice.
Ka... Kare... Kare...
How about "Curry"?
Do you think people will mistake your name for the food?
Like, "Hey, Curry, want some curry?"
You know what?
Forget it.
Oomiya-san.
Yes?
You had something stuck to your skirt.
Stare...
Thank you.
Stare...
She's watching us again.
I should come straight out and ask her.
Alice-san, do you dislike me?!
If there's anything you would like me to change, please tell me!
Simulation
Karasuma-sensei?
All right!
Do I like you?
Of course I do.
Good.
I wish you wouldn't get overly friendly with Shino, though.
You know, I didn't say this earlier,
but my rabbit's name is also Alice.
You're just so cute, I ended up giving my rabbit the same... name...
Oh?
Did that creep you out a little?
There!
I actually picked up a second photo that fell out at the same time the photo of her rabbit did.
I think it's an old photo of Karasu-chan.
How cute.
She looks exactly like she does now, though.
No!
That photo... That photo...
...was taken during the cosplay contest at the end-of-year party!
What have you been doing, Sensei?!
Next up is the morning horoscope.
Today's luckiest sign is...
Congratulations, all of you Geminis!
Your lucky colour is gold.
Wow, I'm number one!
That's great, Shino.
Today's unluckiest sign is...
I'm sorry, all of you Aries.
Your lucky colour is blue.
We're going now.
What's wrong, Alice?
I'm trying to stay as close as I can to someone lucky.
You don't need to worry so much about horoscopes.
Shino!
A-Are you all right?
Yes, we're fine.
Is all my bad luck transferring to Shino?
Look.
It's a couple of foreign twins.
They're so cute!
Something good's already happened.
Shino's so positive.
That's my Shino!
Okay.
Hello-
Sensei, congratulations!
Karasuma-sensei?
Oops, we got the wrong person?
I-I won't let this get me down.
As a teacher, I...
Y-You shouldn't pull such shocking pranks!
We're sorry.
What?
We're sorry.
It's our homeroom teacher's birthday,
and we wanted to surprise him.
You guys...
Remains of the Crackers
You have wonderful students, Sensei.
What is this?
Let's play grasslot baseball!
Baseball?
Yes.
Sure, but I don't know the rules.
Youko can handle that.
You don't know either?
I borrowed some equipment from my father.
I have a bat, gloves, and a ball.
It's a little dirty, but I hope you don't mind.
Is that an autographed ball?!
I want to be the batter.
Okay, I'll be the coach.
Ayaya will be the manager.
I'm one of those female managers, huh?
Shino will be our cheerleader.
Okay!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Alice will be our on-field mascot.
Like those people on the field who dress up in costumes?
And with that...
Hit it out of the park, Youko!
Hit what?!
We can't play a game, so let's practice pitching and batting.
I'm batting?
Go! Go, Alice!
You can do it, Alice.
What should the manager be doing?
Hit the ball, Alice.
Cheering.
How is that any different from what Shino's doing?
You can do it, Alice.
Your status is different.
Here we go.
There!
Go! Go, Alice!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go... Y-Youko...
What?
Here we go.
Keep your eye on the ball.
I don't think I can hit it.
Don't worry about it.
Those were some nice swings.
Don't give up yet.
But my luck is supposed to be terrible today.
Go! Go, Alice!
You can do it, Alice.
Shino.
You can hit it.
Don't worry.
Okay.
Play ball!
Here we go.
Instead of the horoscope, I'll believe in Shino!
Shino, I did it.
That was amazing, Alice.
You need to run to first base.
F-First base?
Which way is that?
The side you hold your bowl on.
No, I thought it was the side you hold your chopsticks on.
I don't have the heart to tell them it was a foul ball.
Good job, Alice!
Can we stop by the bookstore on the way home?
Sure.
Let's go together.
Karen, I didn't know you liked books so much.
A new volume of the manga I like came out.
New Volumes on Sale Today
This is it.
Japan's culture of manga and anime is amazing.
It's helped me a lot with my Japanese.
I think you should put your language textbooks into manga format, too.
Good idea.
I don't know about that.
Crossword World
It's a foreign girl.
Crossword World
You're right.
I wonder what she's reading.
M-Maybe this book is too childish.
Alice, what are you reading?
Tea Ceremony
What?
Tea Ceremony
Hey, Isa-nee's in here.
I bet these clothes would look good on you.
You think so?
Oh, I bet you'd look good in these frilly ones.
R-Really?
I'm going to go look over there.
This month's horoscope is...
Are you looking at the horoscopes?
What's it say for Gemini?
Gemini
The stars are not in your
favour. Try to lay low.
Your horoscope doesn't look very good this month.
What?
It doesn't?
Horoscopes don't mean anything.
After all, you're really positive, Shino.
Thank you.
I'm happy because I have you around.
You're like my good luck charm.
I'm not sure I like that.
Today's unluckiest sign is... Sorry, all of you Libras.
Your lucky colour is orange.
Orange?
Do I have any orange clothes?
Now, picking up where we left off last time...
Um, Sensei?
What is that tangerine for?
It's an orange!
Aya, you're type A, right?
Yes.
Youko, you're type O, aren't you?
That's right.
They say type As and Os get along well.
I-I see.
I'm also type A.
So am I.
I see
Really?
I see
I see.
I see
Shino gets up late on weekends.
Shino.
Wake up.
Elizabeth.
Who?
You two look exactly the same when you first wake up.
What does that mean?
Oh, my glasses.
Alice, have you seen my glasses?
Isami, you don't wear glasses!
Go wash your face!
Elizabeth is the name of a doll I saw in a store.
It was an expensive antique.
I see.
Shinobu...
If Alice were on sale in a store, how much would you pay for her?
What do you mean?!
That's a difficult question.
Don't take it that seriously!
A hundred thousand yen?
That's cheap!
A h-hundred thousand yen is cheap?
I-It's not cheap, but I'm worth more than a doll!
Geez, Isami!
You're right.
You can't buy friends with money.
That's right, Isami.
Onee-chan, you're actually a con artist, aren't you?
I'm a model.
Where should I go today?
Where? Where? Where? Where?
It's a cat.
Meow, meow.
Meow.
Gotcha!
Where am I?
Incoming Call: Karen, Cell Phone
Hello, Oomiya residence.
Oh, Shino.
Yes, this is Shino.
What's wrong?
I found a cat.
It's a white cat.
A white cat?
Yes.
Its long tail and whiskers are so cute.
Oh, it ran off.
Play nicely with it, okay?
I will.
See you.
Karen found a white cat.
What?
That's all she wanted to say?
I forgot to ask her the most important question.
Well, whatever.
I finished my homework and my review.
I'm so bored.

W-Why am I getting nervous?
This is Inokuma.
Y-Youko?
It's me, A-Ayayayaya.
I was thinking of going to the station!
I'm not inviting you or anything,
but if you're free, would you care to come?
Um, this is her brother.
I'll hand the phone to...
Huh?
She hung up.
What's up?
Onee-chan, let's keep playing.
Play by yourselves.
You two are too strong for me to have any fun.
What?
We're strong because the person who made this game is our real father.
What?!
He looks just like this moustached man.
We're not blood relatives?
We were kidding.
Alice.
Would you like to go shopping together?
Yes.
I'm going to get changed.
Give me a minute.
You could have gone in the clothes you were wearing.
Thank you for waiting.
Come on, stop being mad already.
I-I'm not mad.
I'm the one who called your house, anyway...
I'll treat you to some cake.
Cake...
She's so easy to read.
I wish I had a cute little sister like you.
S-Sister?
What?
Did I say something wrong?!
Oh, it's Youko and Aya.
Youko!
Aya!
Are you out shopping?
Yes.
What a coincidence.
Are you two shopping, too?
Shino!
Alice!
If I had known you were all free, I would have invited you.
We were just hanging out.
Would you like to go somewhere together next weekend?
Good idea.
We're about to go eat some cake.
Cake?
Uh, Karen, you should take a bath first.
How did you get so dirty?
We have some shopping to do.
Let's hang out together next time, okay?
Yes.
See you tomorrow.
See you at school.
Seeing everyone on a weekend feels kinda weird.
It does.
Oh, that's right.
What is it?
Don't forget to study for tomorrow's quiz.
Don't remind us of unpleasant stuff!
What kind of quiz is it?
It's an English quiz, Shino.
Oh, I forgot.
You're going to make Karasu-chan cry.
Totem pole, to-
Oh?
Here, kitty.
Here, kitty, kitty.
Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.

No, I've just been thinking lately.
They'll all graduate someday and leave this school.
I hope they'll all grow up to be fine young ladies.
