- - Godai, bottoms up! - - Chug it! Chug it!
Mitaka Yotsuya
Ichinose
l love you!
- - Chug-a-lug! Chug-a-lug! - - Godai, calm down!
Calm down!
After that, things between Kyoko and l...
Hey! Hey! Hey!
KYOKO!
it was two days later...
Y-Yes?
Godai, thank you so much!
To tell the truth I was shocked!
I never expected her to accept my declaration of love so easily.
I hear Ikuko got a 92% on an English test.
Oh. That.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Thanks for tutoring her. Keep up the good work.
O-Okay!
In any case, I'm not in the doghouse anymore.

- - Where do I deliver it? - - Let's see...
The Oba family on 2-Chome.
It's hot!
It's really hot!
Great to be a kid. One long vacation.
Don't give me that! Kids got worries, too!
What the heck?
Nezame Public Bath
Where's my shampoo?
Oh no, I forgot it!
Use mine.
T-Thank you!
We're sure crossing paths a lot today.
What's wrong? You're looking down.
It's summer vacation...
I'm miserable.
We got this assignment to draw a picture of our summer trip.
But you know Mom. And Dad is always too tired to do anything.
You've got a dad?
Yeah, more or less.
I remember when I was a kid.
We got homework just like that.
Draw a map of wherever you go on vacation.
Kids who didn't go anywhere had to make up a research project.
My family runs a restaurant.
Even when I was a kid I still had to help out.
Godai's the only one who did the research project!
- - What's this? - - How weird!
I was miserable, really...
That teacher didn't care how embarrassing it was. I hated her.
So they're still giving out homework like that.
I gotta warn you, it can be real torture!
l hate this.
It's all my family's fault. I'll probably end up a delinquent.
Wanna go to the beach?
Really? You'd really take me?
Mom!
- - Mom! Mom! Mom! - - What is it?
Listen, Big Brother is...
What ''Big Brother''?
Big Brother Godai who I like sooo much!
He said he's gonna take me to the beach!
Please! Can I go with him?
I'm so happy for you, Kentaro.
Come along, Manager!
Yeah! I won't be so worried with you along.
The more the merrier. Come on!
I don't know...
Come on!
I don't know...
Come on!
Come on! Come on!
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Okay, I'll go!
All right!
- - All right! All right! - - All right! All right!
- - She's coming with us! - - This is great!
All right! All right!
Kyoko...
What a fascinating preoccupation.
Such exhilaration from embracing one's own swim trunks.
Get out, you deviant!
W-Why does it turn out this way?
Teach me how to swim, please?
S-Sure...
I'm sorry! I mentioned it, and she insisted!
I don't mind Ikuko...
Calling him was your idea, wasn't it?
To save you train fare, Mr. Penniless Student.
Sorry. I know you're busy...
I was just thinking how nice a swim would be.
Hello!
Hi!
Weekdays at the beach? Is business that slow?
I'm not 9 to 5, so my schedule is flexible.
Not as flexible as a student, though.
Not really. part-time work keeps me busy.
I see. You finally decided to buy a bike?
Nothing so frivolous.
Just earning my keep!
A rare statement, nowadays.
it must be rough.
Suffering builds character in youth.
And I'm still...
...YOUNG...
...after all!
Youth is...
...the ONE thing...
...you've got on me!
Well, youth is potential, so they say!
How pathetic. Hiding behind his bleak future.
I'm off!
Have a safe trip!
See you later!
Come. Home. Soon.
''What a fool I am! ''
''Oh, such a fool am l! ''
There isn't much traffic!
At this rate, we'll be there in two hours.
What is a dog doing in here?
We hatched the scheme!
What have you done!?
But Soichiro wants to go swimming, too!
This is bad! We're over-passengered!
We can't drop him off here!
I don't think they count dogs as passengers.
T-This is bad.
Hey! What are we stopping here for?
Driving is hard work!
You're looking pretty green.
I'll be okay in a minute.
Maybe we should turn back.
N-No! I'm fine!
Ms. Otonashi, please go back to the car.
I'd like to talk to Godai a moment.
B-But...
Don't worry. I'll be along shortly!
He wants to finish this here and now!
I'm ready for him!
Godai, do you know how to drive?
Well!? Can you or can't you!?
If it's a bike...
- - It's hopeless... - - What is wrong with you?
That.
You mean the dog?
Right, the dog!
Y-You're afraid of dogs?
Ever since a childhood incident.
it isn't funny!
I'm the driver.
You're right, this is bad.
- - Coach Mitaka, you look pale again. - - l-I'm fine!
Soichiro, I may be joining you soon!
It's wonderful to be alive!
I'm sorry for the rough ride.
Really! We thought we were gonna die!
That's not what I meant...
Big Brother, let's go!
Let's go! Let's go!
Manager, come with us!
B-But...
I'll just rest up here a bit.
Have fun!
He looks so...Fragile.
G-Godai! Godai!
What's up?
Take the dog with you.
Why not?
Gotta be chivalrous.
C'mon, Soichiro! C'mon!
Soichiro has fallen for you, Coach Mitaka.
He's becoming attached to you!
Once Soichiro is attached he'll never be separated.
C'mon, Soichiro! I'll carry you!
I'm sorry, Godai. He must be heavy!
Not at all.
As long I've got the dog, Mitaka can't come near us!
It's my chance!
l spoke too soon.
Kentaro, watch Soichiro for a while?
O-Okay!
W-Where are you going, Manager?
A little further out.
W-Will she be okay out there alone?
Auntie Kyoko's a great swimmer!
But you never know what could happen!
It's been years since I've gone swimming in the ocean.
it Feels so good!
Manager, is something wrong?
As if he doesn't know!
Women shouldn't swim alone.
There are weird men everywhere.
Look who's talking!
Manager!
How dare he...
Just because I'm a widow doesn't mean...
Godai!
Listen here, Godai!
I may be a widow, and a little bit worldly, but...
Huh?
But that doesn't mean...
Jellyfish!
J-Jellyfish?
U-Uh oh. Y-You mean it was jellyfish that...
I see!
I...
I get the picture. That's the kind of guy you think I am.
G-Godai...
Enjoy your swim all alone!
I guess I'm just a weirdo!
I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry, Godai!
Forget it!
I can't. You're angry with me!
Forget it! Forget it!
Godai, wait up!
- -I'm not angry! - -Godai!
Hey, babe!
Wanna lift?
Your boyfriend doesn't deserve you.
B-Boy...
B-Boy- - f...
B-Boy- - f-friend.
Let's go back to the beach!
- - Shoot! - - Struck out again.
Is he still angry with me?
I hate the silent treatment.
Manager!
Do we really look like a couple?
I love the ocean!
He sure doesn't hold a grudge long.
H-Help! H- -
Look at that! What a dweeb!
What are you doing?
Soichiro! Come here!
Let's play in the sand!
Hello ladies come here ofte!n?
Here!
Coach Mitaka, are you feeling better now?
Completely recovered.
Sorry ladies. My companions are back, so...
We're staying at that hotel over there!
Come and see us tonight!
I'm just a daytripper, sorry to say.
You're no fun!
You're certainly popular with the girls.
Ladies always seem to take advantage of me.
Care for a boat ride?
S-Sure...
We'd love to!
Hey!
Adults only? That's no fair!
I'm sorry. We'll be back soon!
What a beautiful view!
What an ugly view.
I second that.
Ms. Otonashi, shall I teach you how to row a boat?
it sounds interesting, but I'm not sure...
You'll be fine.
Just come sit next to me.
B-But...
You'll master it in no time.
Okay, but just for a little while.
Why that lousy...
Take the oar with both hands.
Like this?
Your grip is slightly off.
Hold it like this.
He's acting like I'm not even here!
Drop the oar down a little...
L-Like this?
No, a little further down, like...
Woof!
Where's the rubber raft?
Soichiro is gone!
- - Soichiro! - - Soichiro!
Is something wrong?
I thought I just heard Soichiro calling...
G-Godai!
What!? This time it wasn't me!
Soichiro!
- - He'll drift out to sea! - - All right! Wait here!
Godai!
Coach Mitaka move the boat clos!er...
O-Okay.
Good boy! You're okay now!
Godai...
I'll put Soichiro aboard!
Please do!
Here, Mitaka!
Thank you so much, Godai!
No problem!
I'll head back to the beach.
It's in your hands, Coach Mitaka.
G-Godai...
Maybe I could take the raft.
Did you say something?
N-Nothing...
Are you feeling sick again?
You're hopeless. Seasick on a rowboat!
S-Sorry...
We should leave before it gets dark.
And I'm worried about Maison Ikkoku.
Let's go! I'm fine now!
You're not quite recovered.
So- -
Sorry.
Well...
Would you mind if I drove?
I had no idea that you held a driver's license.
I haven't driven since I got it.
I wonder if I'm up to it?
I can never see the side-view mirrors.
Then I'll sit next to you and navigate!
Doesn't the passenger seat have the most fatalities?
To die at your hand would be an honor.
Everyone! Fasten your seatbelts!
Yes, Ma'am!
Engine: Start!
I- - I- - I'm driving!
Ms. Otonashi, slow down!
Manager!
Quiet! I'm concentrating!
- - We're going so fast! - - What a ride!
My manager drove like a guy. She passed so many cars.
Ikuko and me had lots of fun, but...
Big Brother Godai' and Tennis Coach Mitaka seemed nervous.
Here's a question!
What makes your heart ache, and tastes both sour and sweet?
Your first love, of course!

Kentaro's so precocious. Who could be his first love?
