Aharen-san wa hakarenai (2022) s01e01 Episode Script
Isn't This Too Close?
1
The span of time before we had written
accounts of history is called prehistory.
The girl who sits next to me,
Aharen Reina-san
And as far as prehistory goes
seems distant for some reason.
Welcome, New Students
Congratulations on your enrollment, everyone.
I'm Miyahira, your homeroom teacher.
Episode One Isn't This Too Close?
I teach physical education.
It's nice to meet you.
Now, why don't you all introduce yourselves?
My name's Raido.
Nice to meet you.
I was so nervous I could barely talk
High school's going to be different.
I never really fit in in middle school
because of how unfriendly I look.
But that ends now.
Next, please.
Step one is getting to know
whoever sits next to me.
First, I need to learn their name
I missed her introduction, huh?
Aharen
There!
Good morning, Aharen-san.
I hope we'll be good seatmates.
The cold shoulder, huh?
I get it. She must be afraid of how I look.
I practiced for this Smile. Smile.
Smile! There.
Nice weather today, isn't it, Aharen-san?
No dice, huh?
I can't give up, though.
My wonderful high school life
is riding on this first step!
The campus is pretty big, huh?
The bread at the school store
is supposed to be good.
Do you know what club you'll join?
Isn't deciding hard?
Not a single response, huh?
I can't let this get to me!
I'll give up on a flashy new life
in high school
I just want her to talk to me. Just once.
She never said a thing
Might as well go home.
Bye, Aharen-san.
See you tomorrow.
I must've imagined it
She really does feel distant.
It's like she's so far away
even though she's sitting next to me.
She's petite, too.
Maybe it's messing with my depth perception.
Does she not like me?
Here. You dropped this.
Still nothing, huh?
Okay, that's all for today.
Don't forget your homework.
Next class is
Wh-What is it?
Do you need something?
Are you saying something?
She is saying something!
She's right in my face,
but she still sounds so far away!
Wait
Maybe back then
Did she actually say something?
Isn't this a little too close, though?
Oh, you forget your book?
An expression that made of multiple
monomials is called a polynomial.
And the monomials that make up
the polynomial are called its "terms."
What is she thinking?
Well, I guess it's fine.
Her face and hands are really tiny.
She's like a doll.
Seriously, isn't this too close?
What is it? Did you need something else?
I guess she wants to eat lunch together.
And she's still so close!
Kinda oversized, don't you think?
Y-Your lunch looks good.
She's feeding me?
You don't need to
Okay, I'll try it, so stop.
She ate the whole thing.
She's got a way bigger appetite
than you'd think.
I guess we're walking home together, too.
You want to go in here?
She wanted to stop at a photo booth?
What now?
The world becomes rainbow colored
I hear the meow, oh, the meow
Karaoke, huh?
The mic's not picking her voice up, is it?
I wonder why she suddenly became so friendly.
Good morning, Aharen-san.
And yet when I greet her, I get nothing.
It's really hard to tell with her.
Shirorin!
Was she just acting weird yesterday?
I guess that's fine, too.
Japanese History
Things'll just to back to how they were.
That said
If you forgot your book, wanna share mine?
But I don't want to bother you
It's okay. It's not a bother.
I
I've never been good with people
I don't know how close to get.
I got too friendly when people
were even a little nice,
and they didn't like it
so they kept their distance.
I wanted to stop acting like that
now that I'm in high school.
I was trying to be careful, but
Yesterday you picked up my eraser
and talked to me, Raido-kun
And I was really glad.
But when I got home,
I thought I might've overdone it again.
I'm sorry. I won't do it any—
I don't think that kinda thing's a big deal.
And as long as you don't
go overboard, it's fine.
Thank you.
O-Okay, but could you let go?
C-Class is starting.
Mm.
Now, if you'll turn to the next page
We have the recorded portion
of the past, which we call history,
She didn't let go, huh?
and then prehistory,
which predates said records.
It's really hard to tell with her
In more ways than one.
Aharen-san?
Wh-What's the matter?
You were calling for me but I didn't notice?
Sorry.
What was that?
Aharen-san's voice is so quiet that I keep
missing things, which is tough
Is there a way around this?
Simple!
Beginner's Guide to
Lipreading
Learning to decode movements of the mouth
Lipreading.
If I can master this, I'll be able to talk
to her no matter how quiet she's being.
And so I need to practice
with you, little sis.
Ugh, so annoying.
Fine, let's get started.
You're a dumb brother!
Euro done braider?
Squid, octopus, tentacles. What a loser.
Skid onto pus tent a cool Water luger?
Good morning.
Okay, I've mastered lipreading.
Try saying something.
Her lips are barely moving, huh?
There must be another way
That's it!
When you need to talk to me,
write a note on a slip of paper
and throw it my way.
Hello
Okay, this is working.
Keep it up, Aharen-san.
You know what, Aharen-san?
Let's stop.
Wait
When she grabbed me,
I could hear her pretty clearly.
Was it because she was close?
No!
What if it was bone conduction?
I've got it, Aharen-san. Bone conduction!
Let's try that next.
Shirorin!
Good morning, Aha—
You forgot—
Lunch—
No dice. This is making my ears ring,
not helping me hear.
I won't give up though, Aharen-san!
I should try some other options.
I'm heading to school.
Nii-chan?!
Morse Code
Entry-Level
Telepathy
What gives? You're taking all that to school?
Telepathy.
Carrier pigeons.
Morse code.
Hand signals.
Arrow messages.
Smoke signals.
I'm out of ideas, huh?
I'm sorry.
You've been trying all kinds
of things for me. Thank you.
But it doesn't look like
anything worked I'm sorry.
No, I should be the one apologizing.
You seem to want to talk
to me a lot, Aharen-san.
And I feel bad for not always
being able to hear you.
No, it's okay.
Thank you.
And I'm sorry for making you push yourself.
Push myself?
I mean, you're talking louder
than usual, aren't you?
Not really. This is how I always talk.
I'm not being any louder.
I-If you say so.
Going home together's become
part of our routine, huh?
What was that earlier, though?
A 10-yen coin and a 50-yen coin!
Aw, man
What're you doing?
Seriously.
Is my hearing getting better?
I see.
Talking with Aharen-san has made me
sensitive to even the softest sounds
Does she really need to crawl all over it?
Maybe she wants that plushie.
Okay!
I'll nab one.
M-Maybe we should go, Aharen-san
W-We did play a lot, so
Aharen-san?
Starting with 500 yen?!
She's really set on getting one.
But she can't really see from above
A stool?
Is Aharen-san a regular around here?
Crane games require really
precise spatial awareness.
Isn't this hard for her
with distance judgment issues?
First try!
Congratulations. That was impressive.
Aharen-san's good at this.
Wait!
She was doing that to gauge its position.
But she got one on her first try.
She's got extra credits left.
I wonder where she'll go next
The same one, huh?
S
N
U
G
Isn't that a little excessive?
And it's all the same one.
Well, now that you've caught a bunch,
why don't we head home, Aharen-san?
Does she still want more?
Is she after every prize in the joint?
What a terror!
For me?
You seemed to want it, Raido-kun.
She wasn't after them for her, then.
And you did a lot for me today
I wanted to thank you.
Thanks.
I wasn't expecting all of them.
You can have one, Aharen-san.
As thanks for winning them.
Thank you.
I'm back.
Welcome home, Nii-chan.
Mom's gonna be on a business trip
starting tomorrow, by the way.
Okay.
Where did you get those?!
Since you've got a bunch, can I have one?
No can do.
They were gifts, after all.
What?
This really is too close, right?
It's like she keeps getting even closer.
Were you carrying that around
with you, Aharen-san?
Melon Bread
Where's your lunch?
My mom's on a business trip.
I'll be buying mine for a while.
Say, "Ahhh."
Nah, that's okay.
I get it already
So please, one dish at a time.
What kind of creature is that?
Oh, it's Aharen-san.
Are you okay? You feeling ill?
Hey A-Aharen-san?
I woke up early, so I'm tired
Is that all? I thought she might
be sick or something.
Come on. Class is about to start. Look lively.
Shirorin!
She'll be okay.
I'm impressed you stayed awake.
She's asleep with her eyes open!
I guess this was inevitable.
It's lunch break, Aharen-san.
No response
Guess I'll go buy some bread or something.
Okay, I get it,
so please stop crawling up me!
What's this?
Lunch for me?
You made this?
I was hoping you'd like it
so I woke up early
and put a lot of effort into it.
But then I was so tired,
I was a bother again.
I'm sorry.
Nah.
It's no big deal.
If you're tired, you can lean on me.
The lunch is good, too. Thanks.
Th-Thank you
I think I will a little
G-Go for it.
I think this goes way beyond just "leaning."
Aharen-san really is impossible to predict.
It's so hard to tell with her
in more ways than one.
Aharen-san uh
You might wanna wake up. Class is starting.
The span of time before we had written
accounts of history is called prehistory.
The girl who sits next to me,
Aharen Reina-san
And as far as prehistory goes
seems distant for some reason.
