Nyam nyam nyam nyam...
No good.
Too strange.
What's wrong?
Senpai hasn't done anything for so long...
inside the post office.
A GPS?!
Listen, Kotone-chan,
you have to be twenty-one before you can wiretap or be a stalker!
Th-The statue is...
Senpai?
ano sora e kimi to hashiri dasou
I'll dash towards the sky.
negaigoto zenbu kanaete ageru...
I'll make all your wishes come true.
areya koreya to oshiyosete
Troubles engulfed me at every turn,
itsuno manika nichijou goodbye
and my normal days were gone before I knew it.
anote konote neko tedasuke
I help the cats with this and that.

The triangle whirls around me.

There's no time to waste.
isoganakya ikenaitte
I'd better hurry.

My feelings towards you are spinning in circles.

An unfortunate event

might prove to be a big opportunity!

If I get to see your smile,

I'll try to believe everything will be fine.

It's really a wonderful cat power.
itsuka kono te todokimasu you ni
May this hand reach you some day.
negaigoto zenbu kanaete miseru yo
I'll really make all your wishes come true.
Cat 12!
Can Heaven Wait?
I wonder what that was about.
Well, I hope this will lift the curse a bit.
I see the shadow of a black cat behind you.
Were you cursed by the cat statue?
Kousaka-kun...
I love pizza.
You're done already?
We'll have them as a late-night snack at home.
You're not dieting anymore?
Victory!
I-It's none of your business!
We get hungry sometimes too.
Let's go, Kotone-chan.
Yeah.
I'm so lonely.
Senpai, dinner time.
Here, eat up.
I'm being treated like a stray cat.
It's pathetic!
Stop complaining!
At least we're caring for you.
Wh-What'd you do that for?!
Give it back!
This is bad.
We're using talismans to control the curse...
...but the ears come back as soon as you take off that hat.
Sorry for causing both of you so much trouble.
Seriously!
I have an express message to send...
to the moon Phobos.
Wh-What?
I must tell Great King Nyangoros about the impending crisis on Earth.
Oh, and make it COD if possible.
Um...
Psychic!
She's the psychic type.
Junpei-kun is taking so long.
I'll eat his then.
All right.
In here?!
I'm done for...
Hey... Senpai!
Y-You okay?!
I was able to sneak you out, but...
What should we do now?
Senpai, I'll take care of you until death.
Here, this is an engagement collar.
Stop flirting!
I'm trying to think seriously here!
Anyway, why is this happening so suddenly?!
Don't you have any clue?!
B-But still...
It's from Sumiyoshi.
Hello?
Hey, Koubaka!
I heard that you'd been cursed.
Kana-chan!
Kaede is worried about you, so she came to talk to me.
Y-Yeah?
Come on over.
We're in the family restaurant in 1-chome.
Sorry, maybe some other time!
What?!
Sheesh.
Why bother worrying?
There's no such thing as a curse.
I'm sure he's just being a klutz again.
Y-Yeah...
But I cause trouble for Kousaka-kun all the time.
You think so?
It's more like he causes trouble for you.
That's not true!
Kousaka-kun always...
Always what?
I always appreciate what he does,
and I hope I can be friends with him.
I'm sure he thinks so too.
Why don't you talk to him?
Now would be a good time to do it.
But...
You're blushing.
P-Please don't take this the wrong way.
I just want to be friends—
Yeah, yeah.
Excuse me!
Coming.
I'll take this Marvelous Strawberry Green Tea Parfait.
Right away.
I'm gonna visit the bathroom.
Maybe that was a little overboard.
But...
I'm sure everything will be okay.
I see.
The Mizuno girl learned about the curse.
Yeah.
I don't know how it happened, but I guess she suspects.
We'd better do something before it's too late.
If we leave things the way they are, your curse will get worse,
and she'll be engulfed in misfortune too.
That's wonderful too.
Kotone-chan, control your misfortune fetish for right now.
But how do we clear up Mizuno's misunderstanding?
What can we do?
I have an idea!
Lend me your ears.
Nyam Nee-san?
What?
What's going on?
Apparently she came up with a plan.
I don't understand at all.
Doesn't it bother her?
I'm sure that Kana-chan has feelings for Kousaka-kun.
Why don't you talk to him?
Now would be a good time to do it.
Wh-Why is my heart racing so fast?
Whenever I think about Kousaka-kun...
I don't know this number.
Yes, who is this?
Mizuno?
Th-This is Kousaka.
Wh-What's going on?
D-Did we exchange numbers?
Yeah? Uh, well, you know...
I have all the data about Senpai and his environment.
Anyway, he sucks at acting.
Shut up and watch.
Well, uh, could you, like, spare some time tomorrow?
There's something I want to talk to you about.
You're the only person I can ask.
S-Sure! If I'll do.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What should I do?!
What do you think this is about, Tetsuya-san, Masaki-san, Hiroshi-san?!
Yeah, I need to...
I need to settle this for good.
I'll do it!
I'll really do it!
That's the spirit, onee-chan!
Thank you, guys.
The moon above Tokiwa is watching us too.
I, the young woman Mizuno Kaede, will go and do it!
He's late.
Mizuno!
Sorry I'm late.
U-Um, so you need to talk to me?
Yeah, I think I've been cursed.
Kousaka
Please... please...
My coworkers made me write my name here after losing a game.
I've been plagued with bad luck ever since, so I think I've been cursed.
Please... please...
But I can't talk about this with Sumiyoshi or Haruhiko.
They might make fun of me, you know.
So...
Geez!
You defaced it?!
You blasphemer!
Sorry, sorry.
Let's perform the purification.
Cat, cat, cat, cat, welcoming cat,
bring us happiness and keep us from harm.
This is the purification right from our temple.
You're safe now.
Don't worry about the curse!
Really?
Yay!
Really?
Great!
Easy as pie.
Looks like it worked.
That was brilliant, Nee-san.
People are so simple.
Ambulance coming through!
Beep, beep!
Hey, there are my kouhai.
What a coincidence, guys!
Let me join the fun too!
Um, the second season...
There isn't one?
Off to commercials.
Nyan Koi! Nya! Nya!
Hey, Kousaka...
Are those cat ears?
Don't look, dummy!
Hey! Kousaka-kun!
After him!
Okay!
Wait up!
We'll go too!
S-Senpai, was that...
Good job, Kousaka.
That's a very enticing costume.
Crazy.
Hey, you're in this too, Nagi-senpai?
I'll win the trip to Hawaii!
Because I'm a genius!
Didn't you know about this?
The shopping district is holding a costume contest.
Apparently, the winners will receive great prizes!
I have an idea.
You should enter too!
I'll let you borrow a costume!
Like this cat costume!
I rejected the idea, but it's still good.
Don't make the competition more difficult.
Besides, you spent so much money on yours! It's not fair!
You're naive.
I'll try to win everything I can.
That is the way of a godfa— no, of a ruler!
Fine! Bring it on!
But weren't those...
I'm sorry, but I'm going to check on him.
What's happening?
It looks serious.
No way!
No...
Does this mean...
Kousaka-kun!
Crap!
Kotone-chan!
S-So that's where you were hiding it.
This is bad.
No transmission detected.
It must be the curse.
We need to clear up Mizuno's misunderstanding as soon as possible.
Let's hurry and find her.
Crap, I'm fading out.
I guess this is payment for my sins.
After all, I tried to trick Mizuno.
And now my life passes before my eyes.
Anyway, all I've done is give her crap.
Sorry, Mizuno.
I wanted to see you once more and apologize.
Kousaka-kun!
Where did he go?
Kousaka-kun...
Wh-What's wrong, kitty?
It's okay to love cats, but it's not okay to overdo it.
Come here.
He's not running away.
Exactly like Kousaka-kun said.
I can die now.
Amazing!
This is so great.
I'm finally getting along with cats!
Nyamsus, I'm exhausted.
Thank you, Kousaka-kun.
I was out of my mind.
You cared so much about cats.
There's no way...
a cat-statue curse could exist.
No way...
I-I'm back!
K-Kousa—
K-Kousaka-kun!
What?!
Kousaka-kun, why are you...
Well, you know, this is—
Kousaka Junpei!
You're all right!
I was worried that something had happened to you.
U-Um, guys, why are you dressed like that?
What are you doing, Junpei-kun?
Are you changing into your costume?
What costume?
Are you trying to play dumb?
It's Christmas Eve.
I'll forget about Junpei and ask Santa for a new love.
That's it!
I was planning to enter the contest too.
So I thought about it, and this is how I ended up.
N-Naked?
Y-Yeah, that's it.
You're full of crap!
S-Sumiyoshi!
I changed my mind.
I can't leave you loose in the wild.
Wh-What?!
You pervert!
I'll punish you!
Seriously, they should be dating.
D-cup, let me join too!
What the heck is this?
Oh boy.
Hey, it's snowing.
Great!
It'll be a white Christmas.
This is how my cursed year came to an end.
And now...
A Happy New Year!
I think it's about time.
You're right.
Junpei, you're late.
Sorry about that.
Let me see.
It's from Dad!
"Happy New Year.
I hope everyone's doing well.
And I'm hoping that I get to come home this year.
Also, be careful about the bell.
If you get hit, it's gonna hurt."
I totally don't get it.
Honey!
Dad!
I can't even remember his name anymore!
Anyway, I need to continue with my deliveries.
I somehow managed to keep my job.
I'm done with my deliveries.
What should I do next?
Good work.
You can call it a day.
But...
It's a present from me.
You have other plans, don't you?
N-No, I don't!
Don't be so embarrassed.
Thank you.
He's so young.
Sorry.
I'll really bring money from my job sometime.
This is all I could manage today.
The cat statue has cooled its anger for now.
But the curse hasn't been lifted yet.
It's only in remission for the moment.
Kousaka-kun, here we are.
Junpei, happy New Year!
Here's to another great year together!
Dad, I think I'm gonna be happy!
I hope I can stay with Junpei again this year.
I hope, with Mizuno...
With Mizuno!
I hope everyone stays happy this year.
And...
I hope I can get closer to Kousaka-kun.
Nee-san! Happy—
What's wrong with you guys?
You both got hit! That's unreal!
Maybe you're in luck!
Hey now!
You think so?
Th-The ¥50,000,000 bell!
It cracked!
What wonderful misfortune at the very start of the year.
You blasphemer!
You'd better pay for it!
I-I'm sorry!
Wait, it's my fault?!
Wait!
Koubaka?
Kousaka-kun?
Hold it!
His luck's running against him right from New Year's Day.
His future seems grim.
He's truly unlucky.
It wasn't me!
Pay up!
My days of misfortune have only just begun.
natsu no kaze kirameku machi ni
In this town where the wind sparkles,
nigemizu oikakeru anata no sugata
I see you chasing a mirage.
shinkokyuu shite oikakeru kedo
You take a deep breath and keep chasing it.

I whisper to your back as you get further away.

When I close my eyes on sleepless nights,

I can only see the two of us smiling together.

This really sweet, painful thought...

Even if you never notice it,

I just wish for it in my mind.

I'm sure it'll come true tomorrow!

At the moment we passed by each other,

you gave me a smile.

Just that makes my heart glow,

because I'm happy...
shiawase dakara
because I'm happy.
Strawberry Tears
Strawberry tears.
Today's Nyan Koma.
Today's Final Nyan Koma
The new term begins today.
Isn't that great?
Let's be good again this season.
Not this season, but this term!
You're as klutzy as always.
I'll put a talisman for misfortune on your back.
Stop that!
Fight me over Mizuno Kaede!
Again?
What are you guys doing?
We'd better not be late.
M-Mizuno.
Good morning, Kousaka-kun.
U-Um, the truth is, I have...
There you are!
Junpei-kun!
I knew this would happen!
Junpei-kun, there's a postcard from your father.
I really have one?
"Junpei, after all, which girl are you..."
"Which girl" what?
No, it's nothing!
"Also, I heard about the second season. Congratulations.
I want to make an appearance on the show too."
What second season?
What show?
He's so frank about everything.
What will happen to the Master's romance?
Nyan Koma
And who actually is his father?
And more importantly, is there really a second season?!
People say cats show no appreciation, but we do have great memories.
We'll never forget all the good deeds you've done for us.
I hope to see you again someday!
