One!
Outside the window, it's spreading.
As I look at the blue sky above...
Yunocchi should be back by now.

I'm back.
My hometown was pretty relaxing.
But this is also my home.
It even has a familiar nameplate.
Ah, is the tree from Christmas still here?
Recycle?
Wow, there's so many!
Yunocchi, welcome back!
Miya-chan, I'm back.
Happy new year.
How was your hometown?
I was glad to be able to see my parents after so long.
That's great!
Everyone told me that I've grown taller.
It's freezing, let's go in.
The room's probably cold, too.
Sorry my room is no warmer than outside.
It's okay.
I don't use the stove during the day.
What a survivalist lifestyle.
I thought my place was fine, but this place is even colder.
Here.
Oh, thank you.
When did you get back here?
Early this morning.
Sae-san and Hiro-san were already here when I arrived.
So I'm the last one, then.
Ah, I can feel it going through every one of my organs!
Feeling warmer?
Seconds!
Happy new year.
So many New Year's cards came in.
Yamaguchi-san. Kiyomi-chan, too.
I got them, too.
It's tough writing them all, but it feels nice when you get one.
Yeah, I only write one back to people who send me one though.
Really?
So, Yunocchi, did you bring back anything from your hometown?
Yeah! Mochi, some other things... stuff like soy preserves.
Me too!
My bag was filled with so much food, it was heavy.
I have to meet Hiro-san and Sae-san later. I have souvenirs for them.
I'll go too!
Then let's go now.
Gotcha.
Sae-san!
Hiro-san...
Miya-chan, what time is it?
About two in the afternoon.
Happy new year.
Err, Good mo... Wait.
Happy new year.
Sorry we woke you up.
Hiro-san, happy new year.
Sae-san, happy new year.
Please take care of us this year, too.
Happy new year.
Your lifestyle gets mixed up when you head back home.
They end up doing all the housework for you.
When did you come back?
Hm, two days ago.
About the same time as Hiro.
Yes...
You and Miyako were pretty slow coming back.
I let go of all my worries and just took it easy.
I took it too easy...
Eating anything, staying in the kotatsu...
Just watching the TV and chatting...
I must walk and burn calories!
This is no time to sleep!
Then let's take a walk together.
We can do a new year temple visit.
That sounds good.
I want to buy some milk too.
New year temple visit?
That's great.
Let's go, everyone.
I think around here is Yoshinoya's...
Since we're here, should we greet her?
Either way's good.
Then, ding dong!
Teacher?
Oh my, it was you girls. Sorry about that.
During the holiday, my relatives' kids come nonstop asking for new year's presents.
So I've been very wary.
I'm still young enough to be getting new year's presents, so it's very rude, right?
Right?
Please come in, though I'm afraid I'm not prepared to entertain guests.
Is it okay?
Please excuse us!
Pardon our intrusion.
Are your parents not home?
They're out shopping now, so don't worry about them.
In a situation like this, if I were a boy, it would be a perfect scene for a princess!
Princess?
Now, once again, happy new year.
Happy new year.
Let's have a good year.
Yes, let's have a good year.
Everyone got to go to their hometowns, right?
Have you done your new year temple visit yet?
Not yet, since we came here first.
We're going to go afterwards, would you like to join us?
Well, thank you very much.
Then, please excuse me.
I'm going to change, so please wait a moment.
Okay.
Thank you for waiting!
Fast!
Happy new year.
It's not very crowded right now.
Yeah.
Cold!
There's a formal etiquette to this, you know.
Was it left, then right?
Here, grand champion, happy new year.
Grand champion?
No!
Geeez!
Wait! Hiro!
Does everyone know how to do it properly?
Now!
Wait!
I mixed up five yen and fifty yen...
I'm sure you will gain more out of it.
This is Miyako from Hidamari apartments, room 202, Midori-shi, Asagi-chou 4-16.
Miya-chan, what are you saying?
If I don't give my address, the gods will be troubled when they come to grant my wish.
Really?
Definitely a lie...
Now that praying's done, next is...
Of course, a written oracle.
Ah, it's fun to see what kind of good luck you will get.
Which one?
Hmm? Sae?
Don't you wonder what you're going to get?
Behold, Yuno-kun, this is what the gods have given me.
That's great.
I got good luck.
Let's see. "You will be receiving unexpected aid. There may be surprises ahead, but your wishes will come true if you do not panic."
Does this mean not to be impatient?
I'm interested in the "unexpected aid" part. Who is it?
Isn't it you?
I'm not unexpected though.
Wouldn't it be someone more surprising?
For example..
The person who wrote you that fan letter.
Ah, I see.
That'd be the unknown part.
I was so happy.
That was my first fan letter. I can remember even now.
I really was overjoyed.
There was someone who really read my own work.
That's good. It was a pretty passionate letter, right?
They must have been watching over you since your debut. It's romantic!
Realizing I was able to reach out and touch someone I've never met before, is a great feeling.
Ah, I felt like I had try harder, and started getting myself excited.
That letter really helped me out.
Wow, I got great luck!
Oh, that's nice.
Um...
If I can tie it in my mouth, it's okay, right?
That's not how it works!
I did it.
Now then, everyone, did you forget anything?
I beg of you, please let me become more honest with my feelings.
Is that Natsume?
Hiro-san's place is definitely the best to relax in.
Now, in the spirit of gratitude, happy new year.
Miya-chan, how many times is that?
But no matter how many times I hear it, it's still nice.
It's sort of a festive feeling.
Okay, one more time then! Happy new yea...
That's enough.
Oh yeah, Sae-san, you left for home at the last minute.
Yeah. I left on the 30th.
The bullet train was so crowded I barely got a seat.
I got my ticket early, so I left on the 26th.
I was so worried about what you were doing for three days.
Oh, sorry.
What did I eat? I can't remember.
Even if I had gone back early, Chika has cram school 'til right before the end of the year.
She starts again on the second, so it really didn't feel much like new years.
Right before the exam is the most important time.
Yeah, it's like that for her too, but the atmosphere got really intense.
You didn't want to say anything, but you do anyways.
I'm gonna slip up! I'm gonna fail! I'm gonna have a breakdown!
Miya-chan!
I'm sorry.
Exactly. Seeing her like that got me mad.
Just looking at her made me want to tease her for it.
That's tough.
Yeah. Afterwards, saying something like "it's alright", or
"just do your best" might build pressure, but everyone ends up saying it.
How about you guys? What did you do for new year's?
Me first. I ate nonstop all day.
Sounds like something you'd do.
Red snapper, flounder, tuna, crab, shrimp, yellowtail teriyaki, new year's food, rice cakes with veggies.
Sounds like the Imperial Palace.
We go all out at my place for events like that.
Man, I ate a bunch!
That must be nice, not worrying about your weight.
You should've wished for that when we visited the shrine.
That's...
What did everyone wish for?
I want to have enough food to be full for the year.
And I... um....
I wished for everyone to be healthy and live together.
And to get better at drawing.
That's so like you.
And Miya-chan also had a fitting wish.
What did you two wish for?
I wished for work stuff.
I wished for...
Ah, I can't say it!
Eh, what's wrong?
Is it that serious?
No, it's not that...
Hiro-san, you'll feel better if you just say it.
Well, you don't have to overdo it.
Well, it's exactly what everyone thought.
I want to have a successful diet...
But now that I think about it, I wished for the same thing last year.
Thinking about it now is so embarassing.
Oh, so that's what it was?
What do you mean by that? I was serious about it last time, too...
Maybe I have no willpower after all...
That's not it.
The gods are probably thinking that it's not necessary for you to diet.
Yuno-san, thank you. I'll try harder.
Okay...
You know, I wonder what Yoshinoya-sensei wished for.
There's no way to predict her thoughts.
"I pray that the principal doesn't get angry at me this year."
For starters, a journey to cleanse herself.
Natsume-san was there too.
She left all flustered, though.
I don't get that girl at all, either.
Natsume, happy new year.
Going for your new year visit so late?
Oh yes it is. I'm just here with a friend.
What about you? Did you have something you needed to pray about?
Praying?
I ended up coming with everyone and Yoshi.
Yoshi?
Anyway, what did you wish for with such zeal?
Nothing much, studying, my sister, stuff. And you, Natsume?
Me? I...
I wished for world peace and the development of mankind!
That's really grand.
I never thought you worried about that stuff.
It'd be great if your wishes come true.
I said it'd be great if your wishes come true.
No! It's nothing like that! See ya!
Thank you! Let's have a great year!
Sure...
Natsume was awfully strange today.
How does Natsume-senpai know you?
She was your rival during the athletics festival.
Maybe she actually wants to be friends with you.
What do you think, Hiro-san?
Me? That's fine, right?
I guess...
Hmm, hmm... well?
What do you mean, "Well?"
It's not like I dislike the idea of it.
Me too!
Me too.
I think I ate too many tangerines during winter vacation.
Me too.
You just end up putting them in your mouth.
You eat them while wondering if there's anything else to eat.
We got so many today from the landlady.
We met a lot of people today.
That's the first time I've seen the landlady in such a good mood.
I didn't know it was her at first.
Yeah.
Sorry for dragging you guys here just for some milk.
Was that the landlady?
She's wearing a kimono!
Yo! Long time no see!
Happy new year.
Happy new year. You're all back already.
Yes, tomorrow's a school day.
What good spirits to have.
This? I don't really wear this often, do I?
Guess it doesn't suit me...
You look really great!
Yup yup.
Thanks. Since, you guys always get along together, a prize.
Oh, Ehime Tangerines!
This deserves a happy new year thank you.
I got it today at a new year's party.
Now I got another house party to go to.
Everyone, enjoy your studies.
You'll have even more time to have fun when you're older. Laters!
She looks great.
It's like she hit the big time.
Do you want to take this home?
I am in your debt, but I got a full box already.
It's like I'm laying them.
I'll put these away then.
Should I put some rice on? Or maybe new year dishes?
Rice, please! I got spicy cod roe, so rice would be good!
Umm...
Would you like to eat at my place? I got souvenirs for you all.
Alright, let's head to Yunocchi's room!
It looks like a work of art.
The spicy cod roe, the pumpkin, the sandfish, then the pickled veggies in every nook and cranny.
I wanted to give everyone the souvenirs this way.
It's really fun this way.
Everyone's hometown is reflected in their rice cake bowls.
Mine's a clear soup with chicken meat, so it's kind of like Tokyo.
Mine's a soy sauce base with wild plants and burdock. It's yummy.
Mine's a clear soup, chicken meat, gingko, and fish cake.
Mine's a soy sauce base with plenty of vegetables, and bamboo grass added afterwards.
It's so relaxing eating it back home.
It tastes like mom's cooking, doesn't it?
I bet your mom and dad didn't want to see you leave again.
Did they make a lot of food for you?
Yes, even though I said it's fine, they say to eat this and that.
Exactly. Even when you say you're already full.
But you must've been happy.
Yup!
It feels like I'm back at Hidamari Apartments now.
Ah, is there school tomorrow already?
Any plans for the new term?
Hmm...
It's the usual for me, school and work together.
What about you, Yuno-san?
I want to study more art and open my horizons.
I'm gonna start working out!
I won't lose to anything, with a strong body and spirit.
You don't have to go that far, Miyako. How about you, Hiro?
Maybe doing my best to move closer to my ideal self.
Hiro-san and Sae-san are pretty great.
Yes, I have to try harder from now on.
Hiro-san, how many more kilograms until your ideal self?
Geez!
Then, we're heading back. Gotta prepare for tomorrow.
Well then, everyone, have a happy new...no. Have a happy good night.
See ya.
Good night.
Laters.
What's up?
Is something wrong?
Yuno-san?
I'm home.
Welcome back!
Hidamari Apartments is definitely great.
Let's see, let's see, what color represents now?
White, like a smile? Blue, like tears?
It's when you mix them together.
The weather is going to be nice today.
On the canvas will be low-fat ice cream, chugging of ramune.
Enthusiastically apply colorful toppings.
Wah hah hah!
It's not like that at all, it's fine just being that.
Fruit serves as our models.
Now, shall we draw a rough sketch?
It's our homework!
