## Guide

**From Tani to Suzuki** (谷から鈴木へ, *Tani Kara Suzuki e*?) is the 2nd Chapter of  You and I Are Polar Opposites manga series, written and illustrated by Koucha Agasawa.

## Plot

Suzuki was talking about her favorite shojo manga series, but her friends were more interested in what happened to her confession to Tani. They all assumed she liked bad boys because she preferred a character named Sudaken from a manga who is generally assumed to be a bad boy in the story. Seeing that their friend Suzuki is glum, they ended up giving her love advice that they only found on the internet, such as how to be the perfect girlfriend, which includes steps as follows: be a good listener; ask good questions; show them you're interested; and so on. Despite her friends' positive advice, Suzuki's reactions are a bit erratic; she goes from being dreamy to believing that every beginning has an end and whatever else, so she decided to just be the 'strongest girlfriend' instead.

Yamada, one of Suzuki's friends, greeted Tani, who had also just arrived at the school grounds. He was trying to get information about his friend's confession to Tani, but Tani was quick to notice. Tani, on the other hand, has decided to leave things alone, claiming that he does not want to harm Suzuki's reputation, which made Yamada laugh. Yamada then revealed that, even if Tani wanted to keep it a secret, Suzuki was the one who first confessed her feelings towards Tani to her friends, which included him, two other girl friends of Suzuki's named Satou and Watanabe, and a guy named Gapacho.

During the break, while Tani was fixated with the thoughts Yamada had left in his mind about Suzuki's confession, Satou, one of Suzuki's girl friends, started asking if it was okay for her and Watanabe to still hang out with Suzuki like they used to, to which Tani simply shrugged and said it was fine. Suzuki then decided to respond in low voice that he might not mean it, prompting Tani to ask if it would be better if he said no, which shocked Suzuki and caused her to deny what she had just said. Her friends at that moment were pressuring her to say what she wanted to say to Tani. Even with all of her shyness and the fact that her face is now a little reddish from blushing, she called up the courage to ask Tani to walk home with her after class.

Class ends quickly. Suzuki walks side by side with Tani, thrilled and jittery, oblivious to what her friends are saying behind her. As they were walking, Suzuki's friends follows them at the back too. There, they realised how Tani is unnoticeable in the eyes of those who know Suzuki, and seeing that Suzuki is somehow regarded a prevalent kid due to her vibrant behavior, everyone would see plainly that Tani was being ignored by most people who greeted Suzuki as if he is not next to her and walking along with her.

While they were walking together, silence was overwhelming them. Suzuki was considering how to start a conversation based on the dating advice that her friends had given her earlier. She noticed Tani seemed to want to say something to her as she looked at Tani while trying to think of good questions, but Tani just said nothing thereafter and they continued walking until they were close to the intersection where they were going to part ways. Suzuki was extremely concerned seeing as Tani was presumably not having fun walking with her. Tani unexpectedly grabbed her hands and asked if she had a little more time as they were about to part ways, to which Suzuki enthusiastically replied yes. It's one of the pieces of advice they read with her friends earlier on the internet, the part where it says to show them you're interested.

Tani and Suzuki went to a nearby park in their neighborhood. Tani began the conversation by mentioning what Yamada had made him aware in early morning. Tani assumed that Suzuki preferred secrecy in their relationship, so it surprised him that Suzuki would openly confess her feelings for him to her friends. Hearing Tani's perspective made Suzuki consider one thing. He takes everything she says and does seriously. While trying to process Tani's words, she exclaimed that she wanted to spend her life forthrightly proud of those she genuinely care about. Tani then asked Suzuki for a weekend date at the hamburger local Suzuki mentioned. Suzuki was looming at his phone when Tani initiated the search for possible places for the two of them to hang out. And there was his search history on 'how to talk to your girlfriend,' which made him run out of shame, but Suzuki caught him before he could get any further. She thinks he's adorable, especially his efforts to understand her thoughts. She was relieved to know that Tani is also thinking about her, and that it isn't a one-sided relationship after all the confession she made just yesterday.

"I like you," Tani says calmly to Suzuki as he pulls her relatively close to him. He wanted to make certain that she could hear him say those words to her. Suzuki realized it was probably something Tani wanted to say but didn't have opportunity to tell. Suzuki's mind just exploded with his confession. Tani was embarrassed by her because her entire face was read and she was hollering due to thrills and excitement. Although it was only for quite some time as Suzuki has become normal again. As they both began walking home, he offered her the candies he had gotten from Yamada earlier.
