A Homestay?
Wow!
Is that where you stay at someone's home in a foreign country?
That's right!
What country are you going to?
England.
I transferred in from England.
Alice, you speak Japanese?
I studied it.
Shinobu is gentle and kind.
The very image of Yamato Nadeshiko.
Aya is smart and reliable.
But very airheaded.
Youko is bright and cheeful.
I am Alice Cartelet.
My Japanese high school life is right around the corner!
Alice how old will you be this year?
I'm a high school first year like all of you!
If you're short are your breasts also small, you ask?
Behold the evidence against.
I'm sorry, okay!?
Got your books, Shino?
"Shino?"
How about your pencil case, Shino?
What's a Shino?
It's a nickname my friends call me.
That's it!
I'm going to call Shinobu "Shino!"
What's with this reaction?
I was thinking of dying my hair.
What colour?
Blonde!
No blonde!
She's pretty foreign-country mad.
A newspaper in English!?
She understands absolutely nothing!
I talked to my mum on the phone yesterday.
I starting thinking about England.
Can I see your album?
Sure!
That's my friend who lives in England.
Karen!?
I transferred in, desu!
Ayaya!
Hey chief, one ramen.
I'd like it hot!
I can't get along with anyone in my class.
Please show more interest!
I want to become friends with everyone.
I'm gonna do my best!
Karen-chan, bye-bye.
Bye-bye!
Everyone talked to me!
That's great!
You're amazing, Karen!
Good myorning!
Good myorning.
Myorning!
I made it a thing, desu!
Zero!?
This score is unbewieveable!
Forget that, let's get's your score up.
That's wight!
I don't hate having pictures taken of me.
But I like taking pictures more.
Alright, pose!
Aya, you'd be a good wife.
Don't be ridiculous, baka!
What's with that smile!?
Where would you like to go in the Summer!?
Beach!
Mountains, desu!
I suppose we can go to the mountains, then.
Mt. Fuji!
I used to be pretty great at fishing.
Caught another one! Get!
I can catch a fish!
Where should we go?
We got a bit lost.
Our Summer homework isn't finished!
Autumn is about...
Art.
Food!
Autumn leaves.
Sports!
Studying.
You're always serious, Aya.
I've never seen that face before.
Je t'aime.
French?
This isn't good.
What's with that Light and Fluffy Gang?
It's nearly the school festival.
What our class is doing...
Japanese Sweets café! | Maid café!
We should combine them.
The coming together of different cultures.
Is that rubbish? Let's throw it away.
So you're gonna join us?
In this scary story meet.
I'm joining too!
You can do it.
Go for it!
Forget horoscopes.
I belive in Shino!
Merry Christmas!
I desire hyper love.
For my Christmas present...
I also want love!
It's present time!
I got you a rock that I picked up in England.
I don't want it.
I got you Shinobu's cosplay pics.
I love it, Isami!
Thank you!
Then... An incident occurred.
Alice, you've gotten way too Japanese for me.
I'm already into other British girls.
I realised that since I came to Japan.
I had become more Japanese than Japanese people.
A wall has come to split our classes.
What happend to your optimism?
We're just separated a little bit.
It's like the distance between Japan...
...And England!
If rabbits get too lonely they can die.
Could it really happen?
We may have been put in different classes.
But it hasn't become lonesome at all.
What should I do?
I'm gonna take a little rest.
Hold it together!
Let me read a story for you Alice.
The two were friends since they were little.
I don't have anything valuable to give you.
Shino, Shino!
Shino!!!
I can take anything I want.
It's boring, desu!
Let's see it for ourselves...
A land we've never seen before.
Hold on tight.
That boat.
I'm just a little interested...
You once saved my life.
I had always wanted to one day meet you again.
Give back Shino, desu!
You're mistaken, Karen!
Pirates!
Fire!
The Sea Witch!?
Humans are such foolish creatures.
Please stop the fighting!
As you wish, in return for your treasured thing.
If you don't hurry, everyone will die.
Do you have any scissors?
Yes.
Shino.
I offer this to you.
Stop this fighting!
The world was finally in peace.
Shino, you don't seem very lonely.
You crossed the sea to me, Alice.
Compared to that.
A classroom feels like nothing.
Yeah, you're right!
A year ago I came to Japan to see Shino.
Thinking about how I crossed the sea that time...
Crossing the classroom seems easy.
I love you Alice!
I'm super happy, desu!
No matter who shows up.
I'll always like you more, Aya.
You were late.
I was worried...
But I wasn't that worried, okay!?
Hey Shino...
Are the two princess seperated forever?
Of course not.
They will meet again at some point.
Because they've always been friends.
Kind of like us.
