It's summer vacation!
Why do teachers still have to be at school?
Don't you understand?
There are no classes, but there's still plenty of work to be done.
This is the work you have to do!
This much?
It's because you were slacking off.
Can you do this for me?
Tomorrow, I-
Please do it!
Today's kinda-
You will do it!
No way!
Even someone like me doesn't want to run away...
However...
Yes. That day, there was something Yoshinoya had to do no matter what.
To finish making midsummer greeting cards!
Teacher's doing her best!
Well, since we had dumplings, now we've-
They get along so well together.
Eureka!
By now, that's permanently-
Good morning!
Yoshinoya-sensei!
Why are you dressed like a race queen?
During your trials on the "Art Circuit", this teacher will always be there for you!
I don't really understand.
Then, since I don't want to get sunburnt...
Is everyone going to the classroom later?
Yes, we're doing our summer homework.
I see...
Do your best!
Thank you!
Later.
Fight!
Yoshinoya-sensei!
No!
The principal is way too stern.
It's not like I haven't done any work.
You can finish your work whenever.
Right now, midsummer greeting cards are more important.
Well, I've made it this far. Next is...
Ta-da!
Costumes stored at the school, ready to be used at any time!
There's more to go!
I thought you would come here.
Come on, go back and do your work.
Right, let's get started.
Needless to say, photography was handled with a self-timer.
Going on-location works, too.
You're going to tick off the principal.
What do you mean?
Don't you understand?
I get it just a teeny-tiny bit.
I know you're like this.
But I won't give up.
That reminds me, it's nearly lunchtime.
Wonton noodles!
Thanks for ordering!
I'm here from Manpuku-ken.
Ooh, I've been waiting.
Three orders of chilled Chinese-style.
Thanks, on such a hot day.
I've got some barley tea, want any?
Oh, thanks!
It looks great!
Let's eat!
Miss Yoshinoya,
you need to get back to work after lunch.
I don't feel up to it.
That certainly was honest.
But there aren't even any students.
I wonder how everyone is doing?
It's because of how hot it's been recently.
I wish the second semester would start already.
That's right. A school without students is much too quiet.
When they're here, things get busy and it's a lot of work, but...
I want to be with everyone!
I want the principal to stop ghosting me!
There's the first bell.
It was great!
Thanks!
This time, I really am quitting.
Let's meet again at school!
And I'm done through 2B!
Yoshinoya gives a midsummer greeting to each and every pupil.
Not only to current students, but also graduates.
Sorry, can I use the printer?
Yoshinoya-sensei?
Natsume-san, is it?
What're you doing?
No, don't look yet!
Wait until they're delivered!
If you're using the printer, I could just do it next time.
Hey, if you're leaving, can you do me this one favor?
Well, I want them to arrive soon, so.
Why do I have to do this kind of...
It won't be good if Sae sees me!
Doesn't look like she's coming out.
Oh, something came.
Teacher, you're great.
I did my best!
Finally, the midsummer greetings are complete.
Tomorrow, she must start on the late summer greetings.
Come on, get back to work.
My head hurts, I have a fever!
It's from the hard work.
Kurohara-sensei, I thought you were on my side!
Aren't I hanging out with you?
But you're not helping me!
You're just watching!
Don't tell me!
You've turned into a pawn of the principal?
Yoshinoya-sensei.
When you finish that, let's try these.
Yeah!
It's pretty!
It's been a while since I've used fireworks.
Really.
Hey, hey, watch this!
Heart!
She's really a handful.
But she loves her students.
And she'll never let go of her passion for art.
Everyone will be getting their midsummer greetings tomorrow, won't they?
It'd be great if it cheers them up.
I'll have to do my best on the late summer greetings, too.
One!
Good morning.
Okay!
Yunocchi!
Yes!
It's not coming soon, is it?
You could freeze, standing still like this.
Is that from Miya-chan?
Sure is!
A letter, even though you live in the same building?
Writing a letter gives you so much more to say.
I'll write you a reply later.
Okay!
I've been double-checking all day to make sure they're still there.
"The Wolf of Ura-Shinjuku"?
An independent film festival...
I wonder what it's like?
Should I run off as soon as we get there?
Where do you want to sit?
If there's four seats together...
I'd really like to get good seats.
Yes!
The film Kishi-san made...
The bus still isn't here yet.
Don't cry.
I believe we'll meet again.
Yes.
When we're reborn, no matter what forms we're in...
I will find you.
Isn't it great, mom?
Isn't it great, dad?
It's warm!
Aren't kotatsu great?
Sorry to keep you waiting.
I made hot cocoa.
Thanks.
Warm!
None of you wanted to stop anywhere?
We came back right away, didn't we?
I was sitting there, daydreaming, on the bus home.
When I came to, we'd already arrived.
What were you thinking about?
Well, this and that.
Somehow, I'm a bit depressed now...
Hiro-san, do sad movies affect you a lot?
It's not that I'm bad with them, but aren't they tragic?
Seeing a couple who can't live happily ever after might be sad, but isn't it also exciting?
If it had a happy ending, it'd be a little different, wouldn't it?
Sae-san, you're cool!
Just like a professional novelist.
It's not that big of a deal.
I could only watch it and think, "That scene is so pretty."
It was awesomely pretty!
The use of colors throughout...
Kishi-san really is great if she can make a film like that.
Yuno-san, did you talk to Kishi-san?
Yeah, just for a little bit.
Kishi-san!
You're...
Kishi-san, I don't think you'd remember, but I'm one of the students from Yamabuki High.
From Yoshinoya's class, right?
Yes!
I got tickets from Yoshinoya-sensei, and was able to come see it.
Thanks!
It was very pretty, and-
Really wonderful!
Thanks!
Mai-chan, keep doing your best!
There really were a lot of people there.
It was standing-room only.
Wow, I didn't even notice!
Isn't it great to be able to show your work to that many people?
I wonder if one of Kishi-san's films will be shown nation-wide someday, or something.
If it's Kishi-san...
Yeah.
I want to see more of Kishi-san's films.
It was fun.
It made me realize that film is also an effective means of expression.
What would the films you direct be like, Miya-chan?
If I could do it, a musical suspense film would be great.
Huh?
While the culprit sings, the pursuing hero, finding himself in a pinch...
Breaks out in dance!
Wouldn't that be a comedy?
Kishi-san is great.
She worked hard to accomplish her dream.
What will I do?
I can't decide what I want to be.
But...
Shrimp and avocado, wrapped in pie crust and fried.
Starch noodles and tofu sauteed with sesame, carrot potage.
Meat and potato Japanese-style lasagna.
And tuna with cheese!
What's up, Hiro?
Somehow, I feel a bit energetic.
It's arranged so beautifully I don't want to eat it.
This girl can't take it anymore! Let's eat!
Tasty!
Miyako.
Yuno-san, Sae, you go ahead and have some too.
Thanks for the food, then.
Which shall I start with...
Thanks for the food.
Tasty, it's so mild!
It's crunchy, but soft.
Mmm, healthy.
It's rich.
Japanese-style!
An exquisite blend of tuna and cheese!
It's tasty!
I'm glad. Since no one had eaten yet, I-
Ah, so nice!
Thanks. So, what have you all been doing?
I wrote a story.
A new one?
Yeah.
Well, it's been in my head for a while, but...
Once I started writing it out, I got it.
I did this.
You did Physics?
Oh?
What is it?
Scribbling in a textbook?
But it's a masterpiece.
Come on, everyone, we're eating now.
Yeah.
Yuno, what did you do?
I...
It wasn't complete, but an image came to mind.
I drew it.
That's a really nice feeling.
Cool!
Huh, they're playing this commercial again.
Will it come out? Will it not?
It's "coming soon", like always.
It's cruel to do nothing but run a commercial, not actually selling it.
Maybe it's better not to anticipate it.
But...
Ah, it's shining!
Looks tasty!
Rest well!
No matter how many times I see it, it's great.
Show us one more time.
Here you go.
It was a fish, but it turned into a rice bowl!
Into a steak, into potatoes, and then back into fish.
Wonderful!
Maybe I should make my next work in Mathematics.
Or perhaps I should try my English dictionary?
That would be an epic.
Make sure the teachers don't see it.
Sorry, hold on.
We should get going too.
Yeah.
It was great!
I'm really sorry, I didn't get around to taking a look today.
Yes, I'll read it right away.
Thank you.
Sae's getting love letters now, too?
What are you-
Who's it from?
It's not like that!
The call I just took was from my editor.
She said they got a fan letter...
At the office...
So they sent it along...
Fan letter?
Here goes...
Hiro-san!
You don't have to call for her!
Oh, so it really is a love letter?
No, but...
What does it say?
It was about the story in last month's issue.
They liked it...
Last month's issue?
Where is it?
Which one?
Stop it! It's not in there!
Congratulations!
...is that what I should say?
Yeah, I guess.
It's your first fan letter, isn't it?
It makes me happy, too.
She could've let us read it.
Sae-san's great.
A real pro!
Being able to attract fans, too.
Amazing.
Being able to show off your work must be exciting.
And make you tremble!
I think I'd just have the heart-pounding.
Someone enjoying what you've done...
Yeah, I'd be happy.
Are you getting cold?
Shall I make some tea?
No thanks.
I've got to get started on my epic.
Is that so?
Understood.
How about you, Yunocchi?
I'll prepare for tomorrow.
We're doing watercolors.
Roger.
Anyway, good night.
Good night.
Everyone's so great.
Almost too impressive, compared to me.
Someday, I'll...
To Miya-chan.
Oh, don't worry about yesterday.
From here on, please take care of things if I forget.
Since I saw Kishi-san's film, I've been so restless.
And now for some reason, I find myself wanting to draw something.
Even though I don't understand why quite yet.
I really do want to draw.
I'll keep working at it.
Yuno.

Hey, what's the first thing you remember?
That has to be when Chika was born.
Totally a shock to me.
It's kindergarten or so for me.
When I was born!
Is it that weird?
I remembered it when I tried scuba diving.
The moment I broke the surface of the water,
"Ahh, this is-"
Next time, June 8th, Rooound Carrot.
We'll be waiting at Hidamari Apartments. Be sure to come see us!
