Like hell, you bastard!
Your mochi is way too sticky!
And yours isn't firm enough!
Excuse me, Father!
I ain't your father. HE is!
I'm sorry, Father!
And, Dad, you should stop this too!
Shut up already, My Junior!
Today, we're gonna settle this once and for all!
A shopping arcade in a certain city... Today, we're gonna settle this once and for all!
Thank you.
Welcome!
Come try some samples!
It's a small but vibrant town that's like a festival all its own.
Since we were born...
we've lived opposite each other.
Two families, both selling mochi.
One had a son...
Tama-ya Famous Mame Daifuku
The other, a daughter.
Mochizo
Tamako!
Me
I don't think anyone's noticed, but...
even though we've been friends since we were kids...
I've fallen...
in love with her.
I'm ready, Mochizo.
Over.

Hup!
Ready and...!
Ow!
I'm just no good at catching.
What am I doing wrong?
You have to grab it with all you've got.
Oh, yeah?
Faculty Room
Excuse me.
Good to know.
Excuse me.
Okay, that wraps up practice for today.
Good job!
Not so fast!
Kanna?
Zip, zip, zip!
Zip, zip, zip, zip.
Plunk.
Sorry for being late. Also, may I?
Go ahead, Makino-san.
I'll get right to it: I have something important to discuss.
Like what?
The truth is, I've been harboring a secret ambition...
Don't tell me you still want to be club captain!
If possible, I would like that, of course.
But that's not it.
Hustle, rustle...
I want to enter this.
Entry Form
The deadline for applications is this month.
That's kinda sudden.
First off, we haven't even practiced for it.
It's not like we're at a level where we can compete.
It sounds fun, but the street festival is coming up, and we have to make a new mochi.
Tama-chan.
I want to make memories.
Memories?
We'll be "retiring" before the summer.
Shouldn't we try to make some memories before then, as a club?
Ah. That's high.
I am your club captain, so...
...please make me this memory!
Kanna.
I'm the captain.
You want your youth to end having only made mochi?
TAMA-CHAN!
Huh?!
You can make mochi all your life, but our Baton Club exists only in the here and now.
TAMA-CHAN!
And also...
MIDO-CHAN!
You're being sort of intense...
But you might be right.
And you all?
Of course!
Let's do it!
Captain!
Hey!
Then it's settled.
Jeez...
Well, fine.
So, we have a month.
Let's all do our best!
One, two...
Yeah!
Also, here's the application form.
Can you submit it, Mido-chan?
Okay.
Tamako, you've gotta work on your catches, huh?
Yeah, you're right.
I'll have to try hard.
Hup!
What was that for?!
A little hard, maybe.
What is?!
I've been thinking of a Butt Mochi.
Tama-chan, what do you think of mine?
Ooh, can I?
Go ahead.
Yours seems like it's got more "meat."
How would it be as mochi?
Hmm...
Let me feel yours again.
No way!
Huh? Come on!
You guys done practicing? Huh? Come on!
Ah, Shio-chan. Show Tama-chan your butt.
Just once more! Ah, Shio-chan. Show Tama-chan your butt.
Just once more! Is something on it?
No! Is something on it?
C'mon, let me touch it!
Well, no.
But this pervert of a mochi maker would appreciate your cooperation.
Bring that here! But this pervert of a mochi maker would appreciate your cooperation.
Well?
Huh?
"Well," what?
Will it work?
Well...
That's no answer.
She's so vibrant, huh?
Yeah.
Maybe because it's spring.
Huh?
Tokyo College of Arts Ooji, what is this?
Hm?
Oh.
For college. I'm thinking of joining their Visual Studies department.
For real?!
But it's in Tokyo!
That means you'll be pretty far from Kitashirakawa-san!
Yeah, I know.
And you're okay with that?
That's why I've made up my mind.
About what?
Uh, i-it's nothing!
What did you write on your career path questionnaires?
I just wrote, "Tama-ya"!
So you're taking over the shop. That's awesome!
Mochi is the only thing in Tama-chan's head.
Mochi is life... or is life mochi?
So, in the future, you'll want to be with someone who likes mochi?
I haven't thought about that at all.
What about you, Shiori? English Lit?
Yeah, I've thought about that, but...
I'd like to study abroad too.
"Hi, Shiori. How are you?"
Still, I don't know if I could get used to life overseas.
Shio-chan, don't just ignore me.
Ah! Sorry, Kanna!
"No problem."
It's all right.
Kanna, architecture is pretty much your only option, huh?
Yes.
Oh, yeah. Your dad's a carpenter, right?
Though, actually, I'm not very good with heights.
Really?!
But I'll get over it.
Someday...
What about you, Midori?
Me?
I'm thinking about going to college.
I have no idea where...
but maybe someplace close by.
You're not going to take over your grandpa's toy store?
I've never even considered it.
Really?
But if you did, we could see each other every day, just like now!
Well, bye!
See you tomorrow.
Goodbye.
Bye-bye!
Everyone's got their own ideas, huh?
Usagiyama Shopping Arcade
I'm back!
Nice Cleaning
Sashimi
Usagiyama Hello, Tamako.
Usagiyama Hi!
Tosaka
Welcome back.
Thank you!
Shimizu-ya Hello there.
Shimizu-ya Say, our Baton Club's entering a competition.
Kaoru-san!
I'll take one!
Okay.
Stars and Clowns
Hello!
Welcome.
I wonder how Dera-chan's doing...
You know what?
It hit me that I'm a senior in high school now.
I think a lot of things are going to change.
No two days are ever the same.
That's what makes them wonderful...
And also, a little sad.
It's sadness that gives each day its depth of flavor.
Just like coffee.
Bitter!
Give me that milk!
Mochizo! Welcome back.
Oh, hi.
I'm home.
Welcome back.
Hey!
We needed eighty of those "Forever Love You" mochi for the wedding, right?
Yes. Eighty of the "Forever Love You."
Hi, Dad.
What's with you?
Don't mind him.
Gohei-chan will come around soon enough.
I think it's a good thing, your going to Tokyo.
More importantly, have you told Tamako-chan?
Why would...? I mean...!
You should tell her.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
I already plan to.
Me
Oh, no!
TAMAKO!
...ko... ko... ko... ko...
I have to tell her...
that I'm going to college in Tokyo, at least.
No.
If she catches that cup, then...
then I'll...!
She caught it!
That's, like, a one-in-a-hundred catch!
Great job, Tamako!
Ta-Tamako? I, uh, well...
The thing is-!
I'm not Tamako!
Motchi! It's me, Anko. Not my sister.
Huh?
Wh-what are you doing there, Anko?!
Over.
What's it to you?
I'm out of lead for my mechanical pencil, so I came to borrow some.
I broke all mine.
Yeah.
They do break... those lead things...
What?
I think my heart just broke too.
Mochizo! Dinner's ready!
Okay!
Thanks for the food! Tomorrow morning, on our way to school,
I'll at least tell her about college.
I'll start off by saying I have something to tell her...
I'll be back! I'll start off by saying I have something to tell her...
Then, later...
Yeah. That will be over the string phone.
Usa-Yu Mochizo.
Usa-Yu
I heard you tossed the string phone over earlier.
Huh?! Uh...
When will you learn to just use a cell phone?
The thing is, that string phone is important because it binds the hearts of the-
Oh, Mochizo.
What?
Starting tomorrow...
I start morning baton practice.
We'll be entering a competition next month!
That's fantastic!
Good luck!
Thanks!
So cheer us on, Mochizo. Okay?
Sure!
Wait, that means I can't talk to her tomorrow!
Come on, Anko.
Okay.
Say, Anko...
What?
I'm finally ready to tackle my experimental Butt Mochi!
Dad will just shoot your idea down again.
That's one weird mochi.
I don't know...
Ah! Well then, what if I string them together to look like prayer beads?
Grandma and Grandpa might like that!
Jeez... You never change, do you?
See you inside.
Anko! You could be a little softer... about mochi.
Get it?
Ah! I left my contacts in.
Well, just for today.
Oh, pardon-
Pardon me.
Those are huge!
Mochi...
Yes.
Anko?
Yeah?
What about a Breast Mochi? I think it could be popular.
Huh?!
What are you talking about, Sis?
I'm being serious, Anko.
I could make it softer, like a gyuhi mochi.
Softer is better, right?
I'm leaving!
Anko? Have you warmed up enough?
There you go, Mochizo.
Entry Fee Thank you.
Entry Fee
I have to tell Tamako directly or she just won't get it.
So, we are officially entered in the contest.
The first thing I'd like to do is decide on a song.
I've compiled the songs you've all submitted, so please give them a listen.
Ooji!
Hey!
'Morning!
So, Ooji...
What?
Did you?
What do you mean?
Huh?
Yeah, I thought so.
I knew it!
That's what I thought!
What are you talking about? That's what I thought!
Oh, nothing at all!
Hey. Keep it down already.
Very sorry!
Come on, let's go.
Tokiwa is scary.
You know, they say she's torn a bunch of the guys a new one already.
Yeah, I can see that.
It's a priceless experience!
Jeez...
Just shut up.
Sorry!
See you!
Bye!
Hi there.
Ah! Midori-chan!
Oh, Midori-chan? I'll be back in a bit.
Okay. I'll hold your stuff.
Thank you!
Hey.
Practice?
Yeah.
So, Ooji...
Yeah?
You're easy to read, huh?
Meaning?
I think it would end up making Tamako uncomfortable, though.
What are you talking about?
You and Tamako have never been in the same class before, right?
I didn't think it would be this bad.
But...
you totally can't take your eyes off her, can you?!
Huh?!
That's not true! I'll see her out of the corner of my eye sometimes, but that's it!
No, you watch her. You watch her all the time!
But...
that's all you do.
That's what you've always done.
Up till now, and probably going forward as well,
you'll just hover around her, staying on the sidelines.
No, I won't.
I'm going to college in Tokyo.
Huh?
Also, I plan on telling her that I...
No, wait! That's got nothing to do with you.
When will you tell her?
Rock, paper, scissors!
I lost!
When will you?
Today!
Dammit, Tokiwa...
You're telling her today.
Isn't that kind of rushing things?
Huh?
Oh, Mochizo. What's wrong?
Didn't make it to the bathroom in time? You poor thing.
Tamako, Ooji said he has something to tell you.
Oh! What is it?
Am I getting a gift?
Uh...
You said you'd say it today.
Well, it doesn't have to be today today...
You just said it would be.
Tokiwa... damn you and your bob haircut!
Well, do you mind telling me after practice?
Plus, you have Film Club, right?
We'll walk home together later.
Uh, sure. Sounds good.
Okay. See you later, Mochizo.
Yeah. See you.
Today?
Today?!
Jeez...
What's the matter?
Just a little self-hate.
Huh?
I'm not a very good person.
That's okay!
I like you enough for the both of us!
See?
Thank you.
Okay. Let's go!
Yeah.
Hellooo?
Hey, what's with you?
Film Club
Anything I can help with?
If something's wrong...
I want you to count on us.
Thank you. That means a lot.
We'll always be friends.
Not just now, but in the future.
Let's do a pinky swear.
I swear.
Yeah, right! I got you!
Was that good? Was it a good one?
It totally was. That was perfect!
Should we have recorded that just now?
Yeah, we should've!
Yes?
Sorry to intrude.
Ta-Tamako!
Kitashirakawa-san!
I came here for you. It looks like I got finished sooner, so...
Oh, hello.
Hello.
I'll wait outside.
No matter what happens, you'd better come to school tomorrow.
Sure.
You're my pal.
What did you want to talk about? The shopping arcade?
Uh... Well, no.
About the shops?
No, not that.
Ah! It's about mochi.
It ain't about mochi!
Huh?
Then, what is it? ls it filmmaking again?
Well, it's not about mochi... but it kind of is.
It does have to do with mochi.
Mochizo?
Yeah! About Mochizo... about me!
Those stepping stones...
Huh?
Oh. Yeah, we jumped across those a lot when we were kids.
Yup.
You would always scare me when we were crossing them, wouldn't you?
What?
Oh, sorry. You were saying?
Uh... Um, well-
It was about you, right?
Well, yes.
Ooh!
This would be great for the Breast Mochi.
It could be like this.
The other day at the bathhouse, there was this girl with huge breasts, and...
You were talking. I'm sorry.
No, it's fine.
Huh?
Mochizo!
What did you want?
It doesn't matter.
Really?
You know what?
Huh? Aren't you coming?
Hey, Mochizo... don't you think this rock looks like our mame daifuku?
See?
Yeah, it sure does.
The thing about mochi is that they're small but they make a lot of people happy. Right?
I'm a lot bigger than any mochi, but I still don't even come close.
They're so soft, and...
And white.
And gentle.
Plus, they smell good, right?
And they're nice and warm.
I'd like to think I could be a person like that someday.
I wonder if I can...
I'm sorry. All I've done is talk about myself.
Tamako.
I'm gonna fall!
Tamako!
Are you okay?
Thank you. That was scary.
You always look out for me, Mochizo.
Not like when we were kids though, huh?
Mochizo?
Tamako...
I'm leaving.
I'm going to Tokyo for college.
To... kyo?
I've thought about it for a long time.
I want to study film for real.
But before I go, I want to tell you how I feel.
Tamako...
Yes?!
I just... I'm in love with you.
I am completely in love with you!
That's why...!
Hold on!
Mochizo, what are you talking-?
Tamako!
Much obliged.
Huh?
Yes, much obliged.
Now if you'll excuse me, I will be on my way.
Uh...
What was that?
What did Mochizo just say to me?
And what did I say back?
Mochizo is...
Tama-chan!
Uh...!
Welcome back, Tama-chan.
Tama-chan?
What happened to you?
You're all wet!
Tamako! Welcome...
What happened?
Hey, you're totally soaked!
Anko!
Get a towel or something!
I'll draw a hot bath for you, okay?
Much obliged.
What are you babbling about?
Why the heck am I hiding?
Ah!
I lost my contacts.
Hey, Sis! The soup is burning!
Huh?
Jeez, you're useless!
Oh! Sorry!
What is this?
I can't believe this "dinner."
It's stewed mochi, right?
Huh?!
What about Mochizo?
He just said "mochi."
Oh, that reminds me.
We've got an order tomorrow for Yoshida-san, 100 mochi.
Okay, 100 Mochizo.
Huh? What's this fool on about?
Thanks for dinner.
Huh? You're done, Anko?
Should I grill some Mochizo for you?
No, no way!
Oh?
Pass the soy sauce, Pops.
Here you go.
Tamako & Anko's room
Anko, you're up for a bath.
Okay.
Huh? What are these doing here?
Oh.
It looks like Motchi brought them over.
What?!
Ow...
What's going on with you?
Have you caught a cold? Your face is red.
Um, well...
It could be a cold.
You should just go to bed.
I think I will.
I can't believe I said it!
Tama-ya Famous Mame Daifuku
There we go!
Good morning!
Good morning.
I'm sorry I slept in.
You've caught a cold, right?
Get some rest.
Uh, no. I'm fine.
How many Kashiwa-Mochizo are we making?
What kind of nasty mochi would that be?
Huh?
It's 50 Kashiwa-MOCHI.
Usagiyama Goryo-sai Festival May 18, 2:00 We'll have to make red-and-white Mochizo for the festival, right?
Don't bring us bad luck, you idiot.
What's with you?
You keep saying "Mochizo" instead of "mochi."
Huh?
Mochi...
Yeah, I'm sorry. I guess I do have a cold!
1-2, 3-4, 2-2, 3-4, 3-2, and...
turn and toss!
How is that?
I think it's fine.
Then, we finish off with an illusion kick.
We're doing that too?
Turn and toss... We sure are!
Turn and toss...
Turn and toss!
Twirl, twirl, twirl, twirl, twirl, twirl, twirl...
Got it.
I'll take this.
Whoa!
Great job, Kanna. You never miss, huh?
Because I gauge the trajectory.
Wow, really? That's amazing!
I'm sorry, Kanna-chan.
Tama-chan.
Are you keeping your balance point in mind?
I guess.
At the risk of being presumptuous...
I would say your tosses sometimes miss the mark due to a lack of focus re: your balance point.
Between the ball and the tip, this point here.
Also, consider the angle at which the baton falls.
What is it, Tama-chan?
The ball looked like mochi...
You are indeed a mochi pervert.
Only you could see it as mochi, Tama-chan.
All right!
Keep your routines in mind, okay?
Okay!
Keep your wrists loose, okay?
Okay!
Well, see you after school.
Sure!
See you.
Good morning!
Good morning.
Good morning!
Cut it out!
That's too funny!
What're you doing, Tamako?
Uh...
P-practicing our illusion kick.
Cut that out!
Hya!
The hell, man?
Essays in Idleness "From dawn to dusk, I remain at my inkstone, ever idle."
With this sentence opener...
Did something happen yesterday?
Huh? Ah!
No, nothing. Nothing at all.
Really?
Yeah.
Let's go.
Sorry...
Shazaam!
Something is different today, no?
Huh? No, nothing's different!
Your lunch is giving off a strange air indeed...
Behold: There is no mochi!
Come to think of it, she always has some mochi in there, doesn't she?
That's what makes her lunch.
I forgot, that's all.
Our super mochi pervert forgot the mochi?
Danger, I say.
Danger is afoot!
I've just gotten... a little tired of mochi.
Ah. You're in a slump?
A Slump?
A mochi slump?
Actually, I once had a nail slump.
Tap, tap, tap...
I was in grade school,
and I practiced hammering nails so much
that I couldn't stand the smell of anything metal.
Blegh!
Yeah, too much of anything is never good.
Have you been making too many mochi?
Tamako used to not like mochi at all.
Come again?
When you were a kid?
Yeah.
You're a fat sack of flour, Tamako Kitashirakawa.
Ooji-ya
You fat sack!
A tale as old as time...
You two sound so cute!
So then, what made you like mochi?
Well, one time when I was really feeling down...
mochi spoke to me.
Yo, don't cry!
It was probably my dad.
Wow. That's sweet.
But now you're in a mochi slump.
For that...
to overcome your slump, you must find the strength to look within!
Huh? It's not that big a deal...
I think I have a cold or something.
A cold?
You'll get over it soon.
I'm sure I will!
Just... don't make it worse.
Okay.
Incidentally, I used the opposite approach to overcome my "nail slump."
I walked around carrying nails with me, and before long, the smell of them-
I think my lunch has started to smell like nails...
The Vienna System Uh, so, the Greeks waged their War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire, such that...
Grandpa, why does our family make mochi?
Because my grandfather's grandfather made mochi as well.
I know all that!
But why mochi?
You still talkin' that nonsense?!
What's the matter, Tamako?
Are you crying?
Mochizo keeps teasing me!
Because you're Princess Tamako, and you're just so cute!
My cute, cute Princess Tamako!
Mochizo must be crazy about you.
It was a revolution of the people, led by such figures as Jacques Laffitte and Louis Philippe.
Incidentally, July saw the-
HERE.
Come on in, Tama-chan.
I'll be by later.
Welcome back, Tama-chan.
Hello.
Tama-chan!
Sayuri-san!
Tama-chan, you look great. I've missed you!
I'll be at the bathhouse later, okay?
Okay, I'll see you there!
Tama-chan. Welcome back.
Well, hello...!
Just Meat
Huh? Wait a second!
You must find the strength to look within.
The...
The strength to look within...
and overcome. From within!
Oh! You're a good man, Mochizo.
Thanks for this!
That's one hot son of a...
You're always dishing out the good eats, aren't you?
So, thanks. I'll be back and stuff!
Just Meat
Usa-Yu
So, is your cold better?
Yup. Think healthy and you'll be healthy!
Entry Fee
Tamako!
It's Motchi.
Uh... Yo!
You okay, Mochizo? I'm doing fine.
Well. bye!
Good morning. Starting early today, huh?
Good morning.
Tamako?
Yes?
You should take a break.
Huh?
You're still sick, right? Just take it easy for a while.
I wouldn't want you getting hurt.
Not since Hinako... since your mom passed, you haven't taken a break, have you?
You're overdue.
Maybe I will, then.
I appreciate it, Dad.
Well, well.
Tama-chan! Good morning!
Good morning.
You're up early. Going walking?
Huh? 'Morning, Tama-chan.
Tama-chan!
'Morning! We're in for some great weather today!
Oh!
Well hello there, Tama-chan!
You're up early. Good morning!
Tama-chan.
Good morning.
Good morning!
Everyone's the same as always.
Upsy-daisy!
The same as always.
The same as...
Tamako. G'morning.
One, two, three!
Midori-chan...
My reactions are just no good.
Not with the baton, and not with...
Ooji?
Midori-chan?
Hm?
Can we talk?
Sure.
Mochizo said he's going to Tokyo for college.
Yeah.
The other day, when he said he had something to tell me...
he said he has feelings for me.
Yeah.
He didn't seem like his usual self, so...
it took me by surprise.
When you asked me what was wrong...
I said it was nothing, right?
Yeah.
So, how did you feel?
I was confused.
I just ran away.
Mochizo has...
He's lived across the street from me since I was born.
His family owns a mochi shop, just like mine.
He's always...
Through good times and bad, he's always been right there.
We've grown up together, so...
I thought that once we got older, nothing would change.
But Mochizo really is thinking about what to do with his life...
Now, it's like he's become this whole other person...
I just don't know what to think.
But...
It's great, the way he thinks things through.
He's been keeping his window shut...
What do you think I should do?
I don't know.
I don't know either.
But it doesn't make me happy seeing you stress like this.
I'm sorry.
Okay, so...
Influenza The flu seems to be going around, so I'd like you all to take care.
For real?!
By the way, my wife makes it a point to gargle every day, morning, noon, and night
and she's the picture of health!
Thanks to that, I always get to eat some delicious home cooking,
which makes me one very happy man.
Well, let's get started with our practice session.
Okay!
Ow...
What's wrong?
No, I'm okay.
Tama-chan, you should rest for a bit.
But...
The meet is coming up soon, so if your leg hurts...
Huh? Tamako?
Oh!
Shiori-chan!
Is practice done already?
No, I'm taking a break.
Oh, really? I'm about to go to my afterschool English class.
Also, I'm doing a homestay this summer.
I still don't know where, but...
No, I think it's great.
I thought, rather than worry if I should or not, I'd just do it.
I'm kind of nervous, but...
we all have to start somewhere, right?
Tamako...?
Did I make your cold worse?
Say, let's go see a movie this Sunday.
Nice. Let's do it!
Oh! Tama-chan. Welcome back.
Hello.
Oh dear!
I got tickets to the performance!
What? That's great!
Hello, Tama-chan.
Say, do you mind if I take a short break?
Nah, go ahead!
Smooch!
Whoa!
How about an "I'm Done with You!" mochi?
Like, you eat it and that person is gone from your life!
You should make something more positive, Gohei-chan.
The hell? I'd planned on giving one to that fool Mochizo.
Oh, Tama-chan!
Welcome back.
I'm back.
Sis, c'mon! You can at least say something when you're back.
Oh! Sorry.
What's the matter?
I was just thinking, everyone has something they're dealing with, you know?
"Everyone"?
Yeah. Everyone.
You're not making sense.
The setting sun sinks
In the music room
Hey, Sis? I play the piano
Your
This is the song Dad wrote, right?
When he told Mom that he loved her. Gentle
When he told Mom that he loved her.
Yeah.
Why are you listening to it? Profile
Why are you listening to it?
Huh?! No reason! Uh...
I just, well... Fascinates me
Sorry! I want to hear this on my own!
I can't pull my eyes away
Whaat?!
Your home
Mochizo?
We need you to go buy some tofu.
Got it.
But
I can't muster up the courage, so...
Stars and Clowns Records Records & Coffee
Has she still been coming by?
No, not lately.
Okay...
Oh, thanks.
You have any sugar?
I guess it was too sudden.
Too much too soon...
Rushing into things is what it means to be young.
You can't even wait for a spoonful of sugar to melt.
The bitterness of regret is proof you've at least tried something.
Every action has its own "flavor."
It's bitter.
Wait, Dad? What's...?
Oh, hey.
Fuku-san is in bad shape.
He swallowed some mochi and-
Wait, I'm not talking to you!
This isn't the time for that!
Grandpa!
Where's Mamedai?
Out doing deliveries.
Grandpa!
Tamako-chan, he'll be okay.
Any family members coming along?
Me and my sister.
Mochizo...
Hold on...
Let me come too!
You two take a cab and follow us.
Got it.
It'll be okay. Let's go.
Excuse me. I'm coming too.
Fuku Kitashirakawa
Yes, well...
I bit off more mochi than I could chew.
You trying to commit mochicide?
Cut that out.
Sorry for all this.
No, we're just glad you're okay.
Dad!
Hey.
Jeez... you're still alive, huh?
You're not done with me yet.
Ah!
Sorry about all this.
No, it's fine.
That dumb old man...
Ah.
So you're... off to Tokyo, huh?
Gohei forced me to, uh, have some drinks.
Miyako Udon What'll I do, Mamedai-chan?!
Miyako Udon My Junior will be gone!
I'm sorry.
You're a man.
You're allowed to make your own choices.
Sir.
Even so...
don't stay gone.
I'll be back once I've finished all the paperwork.
We'll wait here till you're done.
I'll be fine.
Dad, just get everyone back home.
Sure.
Okay. We'll go on ahead then.
Mochizo.
You stay and take the bus back with Tamako-chan.
Huh? Uh...
What?
I-I'll stay here.
Then who's gonna drive?
I'm really hungry. Let's just go.
Hey, you two! You'd better come straight back!
Michiko-san! Gohei-san!
Thank you for everything!
Um...
I'm sorry about all this, Mochizo.
But thank you.
I didn't know what to do when-
Hey, listen.
I'm sorry about the other day.
It's okay.
I'd rather you just... pretend it didn't happen.
Huh?
Don't worry about it.
We can just go back to how things were.
Yeah... let's do that.
I wonder if Grandpa has eaten yet...
I'm sure he has.
What kind of food do they serve in hospitals?
Let's ask him tomorrow.
Okay.
You'll come visit him too, right?
Sis!
Um, what?
Grandpa. Will you come see him?
Oh, yeah. Sure will.
I'll go after baton practice.
I can work the shop for you tomorrow, Sis.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Morning!
Good morning!
Good morning.
Hey there.
I'm sorry!
Okay, once again.
I'm sorry. I know we don't have much time left.
I heard about your grandfather. I know it's a lot to deal with.
But still... this is not good.
I have a cunning plan.
Like what?
We make a glove fitted with a powerful magnet.
The baton will be drawn to it.
How strange it is, the draw between north and south magnetic poles...
Oh. Shio-chan!
Morning practice again?
What are your thoughts on north and south magnetic poles?
What?
They can't help but be attracted to each other.
But one must be careful, as two south poles would repel the baton instead.
What is it, Tama-chan?
Is all this talk about magnets too much to bear?
Yes.
Huh?
You caught a cold?
Yeah, it got me.
You wimp.
When would someone try to take back something they said?
Shio-chan, the other day on the bridge, you ignored something I'd said.
I'm sorry. Please pretend that never happened.
At times like that, I think.
When things get awkward and you want the other person to forget about it.
Okay.
Tamako... did something happen?
Ooji-kun is awesome. Ooji-kun!
So it was kind of a shock for Tamako when he confessed to her.
That's why he said to just forget about it.
But that made Tamako sad.
She... likes him.
Don't cry.
Hinako-chan will laugh at you.
Mochizo?
That's really cute.
It was something like this.
Like a little Grey.
Well? Now what?
Huh?
Won't you give him an answer?
Huh?!
I think you should. And soon.
Huh?!
The old "chance collision in the hallway," maybe?
You're on standby in the hallway, and when you see him from a 45-degree angle...
Bam!
"Ah!" and to the ground.
His passage is blocked.
And that's when you say,
"Thank you for the other day. I was happy to hear that's how you feel.
Next time, build me a house."
A house? That's random.
I'd like someone to say that to me.
That's so you.
"That made me happy." Maybe that's all you have to say.
Ooji!
Mochizo! Thank you for the other day! I was happy!
Next time, build me a house!
Wait, what?
Huh?
Text To: Mochizo
Deliver that unto me!
Kanna-chan!
No, don't!
Ah.
It's you.
What is it?
I didn't think you'd say it.
Huh?
I thought you could never tell her.
I misjudged you.
That's all.
Sorry I'm late.
Don't mind if I do!
Midori-chan?!
Got you. I'm fine!
Thank goodness!
At least
Sorry. Is it too loud?
No. I sing this song just for you
They said he can start working again tomorrow. I want you alone to hear it
Hey, Anko... why don't you try this on?
You start middle school next year, right?
It looks great on you, Anko.
Really?
It's a little big, though.
Come here a minute.
There you go.
Are you afraid of change, Anko?
Dynamite Beans Love Song
Like, going to a world totally different from what you've known so far.
Dear Mamedai-san...
Huh?!
What?
I wanted to give something back to thank you for the wonderful song you gave me.
Ah! Um, I'm sorry I ran off the other day.
That's Mom's voice.
What?!
So, this song is for you.
Twinkle, twinkle little star
Mom... Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Her singing's not that great, huh? How I wonder what you are
Her singing's not that great, huh?
Up above the world so high
Yeah. Up above the world so high
But... Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
This song of mine
Goes from me to you
Anko...
I can go back to work tomorrow!
Okay.
Good morning!
Good morning.
It's 50 mame daifuku today.
Sure!
Midori-chan!
Good morning.
Good morning!
Midori-chan, I think I'll be able to catch the baton now...
and at the meet!
I'm sorry I've made you worry.
And I'll give Mochizo a proper reply too.
Okay.
Let's go.
Let's give it our all. No regrets, okay?
Yeah!
Okay, hands in.
Everyone, name your favorite thing!
Pancakes!
Fried eggs!
Our leader!
Right angles.
Bears!
Mochi!
Ready and...
Go!
And now, let's introduce our next team.
From Usagiyama High School, the all-girls baton team!

School's canceled?
Yeah. I heard a bunch of students have gotten sick with the flu.
Oh, wow.
So, you'll be sure to let Ooji-kun know, right?
Kitashirakawa-san?
Huh?!
Got it. Thanks!
Say, Anko...
What if someone doesn't follow the chain list?
What do you mean?
The next person won't know what's going on, right?
Yeah.
Here.
Thank you.
Did Mochizo see you?
Not at all. He's watching TV with Gohei-chan...
But are you sure you want those?
Yeah.
Should I make some new ones?
No. These will do.
Thank you, Michiko-san!
Me Mochizo
Midori-chan!
I went by your place. They said you came to school.
You didn't get in touch with Ooji, did you?
No.
He's not coming.
I just saw him.
He said he was leaving for Tokyo.
It looks like he just decided to go.
When he puts his mind to something, he runs with it, right?
Suddenly going to a new school and all...
A new school?
Well, if he's trying to get into a college in Tokyo, it's probably best that he moves there now.
His train leaves at 9:00.
You could still make it, if you hurry.
Midori-chan! Thank you!
Mido-chan.
Kanna...
I thought I'd build myself a new shelf when no one was around, but...
That's just weird.
What happened to Tama-chan?
She just ran by me at full speed.
I told her a fib.
What?
I told her Mochizo is going to another school.
The truth is, he's just visiting the college he's thinking of going to.
You're quite the schemer. But that's what I like about you.
Ah.
A moment, Mido-chan.
That's a nice face you've got right now.
Thank you, Kanna.
Say, Mido-chan...
maybe I'll aim for some new heights too.
It's so wide and free!
Yes, it is quite spacious!
Tamako?
Dera.
The scent of spring is in the air.
A wind of Tamako's making?
Choi! Dera! It's snack time.
Prince!
Which way?
I don't know!
Hup...
Hup!
Just go...
Kanna!
Mochizo...
Where are you?!
Mochizo?
MOCHIZO!
MOCHIZOOO!
Tamako?
Wait there!
The doors are now closing.
Just wait!
Tamako? What are-?
Why? Why?! Tamako? What are-?
Why? Why?!
Why are you going to Tokyo?
That's far! Tokyo is so far!
Yeah, but... I mean, what?
Tamako, why are you even-?
We've spent our whole lives together, so why are you leaving?!
Huh?
I haven't even said how I... i haven't...!
Ah, I messed it up!
Um, "Mochizo"? "Me"?
It's just...
Mochizo... I love you!
Over!
