Nothing good has ever happened to me on a rainy day.
My first day of school...
School field trips...
Come to think of it my first love, too...
Share an umbrella?
Thank you!
I just love rainy days!
I like them, too.
We like all the same things!
Godai?
I've come to walk you home.
Kyoko!
Godai!
Kyoko!!
Kyoko--
Godai!
S-S-Sakamoto!
Gee, it's great to see you! Lend me 2000.
Oh, yeah, you're broke. Answer for me at roll and we'll be even.
That's the 4 o'clock linguistics class. You're savin' my life.
Wh-- Wh-- Wh--
Like I said, rainy days have always gone this way for me.
Oh, dear. If only I'd finished shopping sooner--
Be my guest.
M-Miss Nanao?
Yeah.
This is really nice of you.
Not at all. I've got nothing better to do.
I need a topic! A topic!
Is Godai at school?
Yes. He should be home by nightfall.
Is he usually home so early?
Well... Nightfall on Monday and Wednesday...
8 PM on Tuesday and Friday...
He tutors on Thursday, so it's about 10.
I don't know about Saturday--
You know everything! How come?
Well, I'm the manager--
Is that right?
Of course, it is.
Then you know the schedules of all your other tenants, too?
Why of course.
Actually, I don't, but--
You must be a great manager!
See ya tomorrow, Teach!
Bye!!
Go straight home, now.
Okay!
C'mon, let's go!
Soichiro! What are you doing?
I'm so sorry! He ruined your skirt!
It's nothing, really.
Come back with me. You don't want the stain to set.
You don't have to. It's really nothing--
There. You can wear my skirt until yours dries.
Thanks!
Her waist is tiny!
I'll get tea.
Don't mind me.
Here you go.
Thank you!
I need a topic! A topic!
Manager?
So what do you think of Godai?
I, uhh... What do you mean?
You always see him, right? What kind of person is he?
It's hard to put into words...
I wonder if he's dating anyone else.
You're the only one I know of.
You think so!?
Yes.
I used to go to Clock Hill Junior High.
Really?
That was a quick change of subject.
And Godai looks just like my first love, back then.
Your first love?
He probably didn't even know that I was alive.
So he was an interesting man?
He was wonderful!
Wonderful, AND he was just like Godai?
He was so manly. So cool--
So where's the resemblance?
He was always the last one to leave the cafeteria at lunch.
I don't understand this.
You sure have a handsome boyfriend.
Remember? That day we first met.
Coach Mitaka? He and I are just friends.
No way!
It's true.
So you don't have a boyfriend?
I'm--
Y-You're a widow?
I'm sorry... Me and my big mouth, huh?
It's all right.
Although, it does bring back memories.
He was also my first love.
Go on ahead. I have to do something.
What is it?
Bye-bye.
Kyoko!
Where Mr. Otonashi is concerned, she's lost.
Mr. Otonashi, again?
She's going for the umbrella gambit.
What does she see in that old loser?
Beats me.
Mr. Otonashi?
Come underneath.
Okay.
You're from homeroom 3, right?
Yes. Kyoko Chigusa.
--Miss Chigusa? --Yes?
That must be cold. You'll catch your death.
That was an unusual thing to try.
I thought it was brilliant.
Your high school teacher--
Well, actually he was temporarily assigned.
Still, it's so romantic to marry your first love.
Oh, yeah!
I'd love to see Your high school picture albums.
M-My pictures?
Sure. I'm feeling a little nostalgic myself right now.
Just till Godai comes home.
Sure. Until he comes home.
I'll wait until the rain lightens up.
Well, it's getting kinda late--
I wonder what became of Godai. He's usually home by now.
It was fun seelng your pictures.
Come back again, okay?
Okay.
Goodbye!
Goodbye.
I was so young.
The costume competition.
Oh, Soichiro!
Mr. and Mrs. Otonashi!!
I'm home!
Godai, what HAVE you been doing?
Kozue was waiting for you all afternoon!
What? She came over? Here?
Yes. You should call her. She waited all day.
Maybe she did, but-- But-
You know-- You see, I--
She and I aren't-- You got it wrong--
I-- I don't-- There's nothing--
What are you saying? That's not the point.
I don't need to call her. We aren't...that way, after all.
Godai, wait--
Honestly! What is he thinking?
Manager!
Mrs. Ichinose.
Come on in. Come in.
What's going on?
Hello, Kozue? Yeah, it's me, Godai.
I heard you came by. What's up?
I see. We'll get together tomorrow.
School? I'll cut classes. Naw, don't worry.
Listen to him. Ya jealous?
Oh, please.
Yeah, see you then.
What a fool.
I'm off!
Wait a sec, Godai.
Give this umbrella back to Kozue, please?
She left it behind.
But l was going to classes...
Going to CUT classes and meet Kozue, right?
How did you know that?
I'm the manager.
She and I aren't-- You got it wrong--
Don't try to keep it such a big secret. You'll disappoint Kozue.
You'll ruin the image of her first love!
What's that mean?
Maybe I shouldn't say.
What do you mean by ''image of her first love''?
You look just like Kozue's first love.
Oh, so I'm not her first love.
She said he was wonderful.
She said that he was wonderful.
So you should try to act more dignified, for Kozue's sake.
S-Sure.
Act more dignified For Kozue's sake?
What do YOU know about it?
You know better than that!
What's going on? She used to be jealous of Kozue!
So you heard about my first love?
I'm sorry. Are you mad?
Why?
Wouldn't you hate being cast in the shadow of another guy?
It's not a problem.
But I'd like you to see me for who I am.
I do!
Your manager is great.
Yesterday, she told me all about her husband.
What kind of... stuff?
Something that happened on a rainy day. Her first love!
They were so in love!
Could someone as reserved as Kyoko be so passionate?
The picture of true love!
I think it's great when two people in love can be together.
Yeah. But now he's dead.
That's true.
Please, Godai don't die on me!.
I just couldn't bear it.
Y-You're such a kidder.
Perhaps you call this sorrow. It's more than I can bear.
He's still there. Soichiro--
Kyoko's a fool.
Binding her self to a dead man!
Damn! Why can't she see that I'm right here!
Godai?
Come under.
No thanks. I want to be alone!
But--
Stop that! You'll catch cold!
Leave me alone!
What's he pouting about?
Damn! What do YOU know about it?
You know better than that!
But maybe someday...
Someday...
Oh, dear.
I'm sorry. Please let me under.
See? You caught cold.
Time flies.
This'll be my second Christmas since I came to Maison Ikkoku.
Godai, it's a gift from the heart.
Next: ''Kyoko's Gift! What, You Mean It's For Me?'''
I knitted it for all I was worth.
But--
