I am Here.

Her:
The human race is weak, ugly, jealous, and hate those with more than them. Strangely enough, it's the talented that have it rough. That doesn't make any sense, does it? That's why I'm going to change it.

Him:
That's a pretty crazy goal.

Her:
Maybe, but I still think it's better than doing nothing and being dead inside like you.
I hate that you affirm people's weakness in that way.

Him:
She is suffering because she is gifted.
It wouldn't have been a problem for her to hide it and get along well with others.
That's what most people in the world do.
But she didn't. She absolutely would not lie to herself.

I began to think the two of us were rather similar.



Surprisingly enough, "Yahari Ore no Seishun Love-Com wa Machigatteiru" had something real to say in its first episode. When I dropped by I noticed the official website had a cool play on words by plucking out parts of its long title: "Ore ga Iru".

俺・が・いる

彼女：
弱くて醜くてすぎに嫉妬しきおとそうとする。不思議なことに優秀な人間ほど生き辛いのよ。そんなの奇怪しいじゃない。だから変えるのよ。

彼：
動力の方向がぶっ飛びすぎだろう。

彼女：
それでも、あなたのようにぐだぐだ乾いて果てるよりましだと思う。
あなとのそうやって弱さを肯定してしまう部分嫌いだわ。

彼：
彼女はもつものゆえの苦悩を抱えている。
それを隠してごまかしながら上手くやることは難しくないはずだ。
世の中の人間はそうしているのだから
けれど、それをしない。自らに決して嘘を付かない。

きっと、俺と彼女はどこか似ている。



「やはり俺の青春ラブコメはまちがっている」、第一話いいことも言いますね。
