This work of fiction surrounding the circ- umstances of a massive earthquake
in Tokyo is based on tremendous amounts of research and verification.
Striving for a sense of realism, many simulations
were thought of to create this original story,
however, circumstances may be different to the real thing.
I hate this city.
I hate my house and my parents.
I hate it when my parents get angry at me too.
And I hate it even more when they get angry when they aren't working.
I've had enough.
Everything should just break.
That's what I thought everyday.
Just as we reported, at 1546h, a massive earthquake hit the center of the Kanto region.
The epicenter of the earthquake was at the northern part of Tokyo Bay,
affecting the surrounding areas in a 25 km radius.
Its magnitude is estimated to be 8.0 on the Richter scale.
Please be very careful of aftershocks and tsunamis.

Onozawa-san! Onozawa Mirai-san!
Yes.
Okay, next is Katou-san.
Yes.
Katou Hiroko-san.
Show it to me, Hiro-chan!
Kubo-san! Kubo Mayumi-san!
Yes!
How are your grades?
Sunk. What about you, Mayu?
Welcome to the club.
Me too.
I can't show this to my parents.
They're pretty strict, so we might not go on a vacation this summer.
You're so gloomy, Yuka!
What kind of parents hate their children?
My parents do!
Oh? You're going to the Caribbean?
Yeah, I'm going to take it easy this year.
Where is the villa you're going to?
Canada. My dad built a log house there.
I know! Want to come over to my place? My mom baked some soufflés.
Yeah, sure!
You're so lucky you live close by, Megu.
Where are you going for summer vacation, Onozawa-san?
Ah, we don't have any plans like that.
I see.
You should go somewhere cool then.
It's going to be a hot one this year.
Yeah.
All right!
For your summer assignment, imagine yourself 10 years from now,
Future Report
~Myself in 10 Years~
and write a report about your future self.
Give it a lot of thought since you have plenty of time during your vacation.
Yes!
What are you going to write?
For the future report?
I don't know.
You've got it easy, Yuka. You're going to become a pianist.
I love the piano, but it's not that easy.
But it's nice to even have something you like.
You got it. I don't even know what I like or what I want to do.
Me too.
Hey, want to pass by Shibuya?
Sounds good. You should come too, Mirai.
I can't.
My parents have work, so I have to look after my brother.
Tomorrow, summer vacation starts.
Well, it's not like I'm looking forward to it.
Things I want to do...
Nothing really.
I need to trim my bangs.
They're so annoying.
That was funny!
I don't really have any dreams for the future,
but I don't want to grow up that way.
I won't be like that in 10 years, right?
Yuuki...
And then...
Onee-chan!
The phone alien?
This is the first time I've seen a phone alien!
It has a short temper.
Hey, what'd you tell him?
Onozawa?
So how's middle school?
Nothing great.
It can't be that bad.
It really isn't that great.
What are you all doing?
Well, Yuuki asked us.
The marronnier that dad gave us won't grow big at home, so I brought it to school.
Our teacher told us we could plant it there.
I know!
You should help us too!
Great idea!
Isn't it?
No way.
Ah, I'm all muddy now!
It's nice to sweat a bit sometimes.
Not at all.
It should be able to grow big now.
Yeah, thanks, Itsuki-kun.
Let's water it over the summer.
Sure.
Let's go home, Yuuki.
Okay.
Weren't we going to play soccer after we planted it?
Oh, right!
Man, what's with him?
Mirai?
Oh? You were home?
You should have at least said you were back.
I thought you were a robber.
I'll be going out now. My client's waiting.
There's cake here.
Mom's birthday!!
She's trying too hard.
I have to go now, so give Yuuki some cake too.
Aren't you going to eat?
I'm on a diet.
You got the triangular ones!
You should've gotten the round ones!
Oh right, bring in the clothes too.
It looks like it's going to rain.
Wash the dishes after you finish your cake.
Groceries will be delivered, so receive those too.
Make sure you put all the fresh food in the fridge.
Okay, I'll be home by seven.
Bye!
Leave your report card out. I'll have a look at it later.
How do you expect me to do all that?
What's that?
It's for mom's birthday.
To Mom,
"Happy birthday!"
Too normal.
Normal?
Well, it's fine though.
What are you going to give her?
Nothing...
Want to give her chocolates with me?
You drew that, so you give it to her.
There's cake. Want some?
Yeah!
It's good, huh?
It's okay.
It would've been nice if mom ate it with us.
"I have to go now,
so give Yuuki some cake too! I'm on a diet!"
That's just like her!
Hey, do it again!
What is it?
You're still such a kid, Yuuki.
I wanted to eat those round cakes.
She just doesn't get it. You should have round cakes on birthdays!
Look, onee-chan! This is amazing!
Wait, I'm really busy now.
There's the phone alien again.
I'm home.
Ah, it's so cool in the house.
Welcome home.
Where's mom?
Not home yet.
I see.
I'm going to take a shower.
Did you know mom's birthday is today?
Oh, was it?
Ah, that was great.
Hey, you spilled some stuff.
Clean it up.
Hey, it's summer vacation tomorrow.
Finish your assignment early then.
That's not what I mean.
Aren't we going to go on a vacation somewhere?
Exams! Exams!
We've never gone anywhere.
You're right.
Why don't we ask mom?
No way. She'll just say it's stupid and get angry.
She is busy now.
Well, we'll see once we get a break.
I'm home.
Welcome home, mom!
Thanks.
Ah, I forgot to buy milk.
Welcome home.
What's for dinner?
I'm going to warm it up now.
It's past eight, you know.
I couldn't do anything about it.
I work too, you know.
No, the kids are hungry.
That's what I'm doing now!
Hey, enough already!
Don't blame it on us, dad!
Why are you so down?
I couldn't give her my present.
Even though you're still a kid, you care about your parents too much.
You're a kid too.
Don't you think it'd be better if mom and dad got along?
After all this time? Just let them do what they want.
What are you doing?
Nothing!
My parents saw the future report,
so they lectured me on how I should go to a university first.
Mine lectured me on not skipping piano lessons. It was the worst!
What do I want to become?
I don't know about the future.
I just don't get it.
It's boiling...
Good morning.
See you.
I'm going now!
Please, mom!
Don't be selfish, Yuuki! I've got work.
We can't do anything about it.
Then can I go with onee-chan?
You two?
What?
What? A robot exhibition?!
It's being held in Odaiba.
Could you take him?
No, I don't want to go to a robot exhibition.
Why do I have to watch him anyway?
I...!
Come on!
It's summer vacation!
You said you didn't want to go to summer training.
You've got nothing to do anyway, right?
All right already!
I'll take him, okay?
Onee-chan!
Look! The bridge!
We came here before, right? Look!
Okay!
Arriving at Odaiba. Odaiba.
Odaiba! We're getting off!
Onee-chan! Let's take a bus!
You're the one who didn't want to take the bus because we're at Odaiba,
so just bear with it.
It's hot.
It's not!
It's hot!
Let's go.
Is this what you wanted to see?
Yeah.
You don't like it?
I don't care anymore. Let's go.
Look! We can touch them!
It's so cute!
Tama! Paw! Paw!
Whoa! There's one you can operate over there!
These crawl robots operate on four legs.
By distributing the load over four legs, they're able to remain stable and move on uneven ground in disaster stricken regions.
By making use of their mobility, they can work with rescue teams through remote control to...
That's amazing! You try it too, onee-chan!
It's so fast!
Onee-chan.
You shouldn't be so rough.
Don't worry.
Hey, how long are you going to keep at it?
Could you hurry up?
Thanks.
Hey, onee-chan.
Want to go buy a present for mom together?
Forget it.
If she had come in the first place, I wouldn't have had to go through all this.
They look down on us just because we're kids.
But...
Plus, I have no money.
I do!
What should we get?
Hey, how about that?
That's really popular.
Oh, really?
I guess these can be nice once in a while.
Oh, sorry, did you want this?
No.
Sorry!
Here, it's a bit too flashy for my grandma.
It's okay.
Just take it!
It's really okay.
H-Hey, onee-chan!
How about this one? It's nice too!
Is it a present for someone?
Yeah!
It's my mom's birthday.
That's nice!
I'd cry if my daughter gave me this.
Thanks!
I hope your mom likes it.
Thanks.
There's a lot of people here today, so try not to get lost. Bye!
Don't treat me like a kid.
Hey, onee-chan.
Let's get this for mom. She likes flowers.
Just get what you want.
Onee-chan, I need to go to the toilet.
Go then.
Hold this for me!
Oh, buy me a drink too!
I'll wait for you outside.
Okay!
It's hot...
Hey!
How about not standing in the doorway?
Why does everything make me so angry?
All these terrible things everyday...
Seriously?
Seriously! Look!
What's with your face?
I wonder if anything good will happen in my life?
I've had enough. Everything's such a bother.
The world should just break.
An earthquake?
No way...!
Yuuki!
Tokyo was destroyed by a magnitude 8.0 earthquake.
