To fix her life once again,
a woman's age goes 45 years back
to realise her destiny and make a mark in history.

DON'T SELL, REPOST & CLAIM IT AS YOUR OWN.
Oh, it's a violet!
Everyone, have you ever thought of becoming young again?
returning to your younger self one more time,
and fixing your life?
That is definitely impossible
but if that miracle happened to you.
Eh, look at that bag!
Her clothes looks strange.
Lame! Unbelievable!
At that time, all the things that you have thought of doing in your shining youth, won't you do it?
Thank you for inviting me, Sumi. Thank you very much for coming.
Your mother must be very happy, right?
She lived a long life,
being seen off by her only daughter,
Sumi Kisaragi
If it's true, then that's great.
From now on, please think about enjoying your life, okay?
Soun Amane
Even in my household, when my uncle and aunt finished travelling the world, they had a lot of things they want to do.
Next time,
please do something that you want for your own sake.
Thank you for your advice.
Doing something for my own sake.
Even if you say that, nothing comes to mind.
Sumi Kisaragi, 65 years old,
When the new year came,
I was present at my mother's deathbed
and the only family I've got left is my Siamese cat, Julie.
In the past, my mother used to own a flower shop
Since we didn't have much money, she was always busy at the grocery story too.
Since I was a kid,
I'd help her ship things.
Sumi, let's play!
Oh, sorry...from now on,
I had no choice but to help my family.
Sorry...
Eh, that's a pity.
It can't be helped.
Sumi is an only child.
I'm really sorry.
but, thanks for inviting me.
Since elementary school till high school, I was always like that.
I went straight home after school instead of hanging out with my friends,
till I became this middle-aged woman.
Tsubaki College
if they don't mind,
I'd like to enter the outside world (college) just once,
Are you alright?
Yes.
Umm...
The bus is shaking a bit, so please be careful.
These 50 years too, I haven't fallen in love even once.
even until I became a middle-aged woman.
Wait a second!
Tanagi, what's wrong?
Don't act dumb! Your cat did it at my house again! Huh?
I told you to tell the cat of yours to stop doing his business at my yard, right?
Ogura Tomika
My cat seldom goes out of the house.
It's definitely your cat!
For you're the only one who has a cat in this neighborhood!
But...
NO BUTS!
Eh, what's that?
Did someone pass away?
Yes, my mother...
Why didn't you tell anyone?
It was so sudden.
It was my mother's last wish to have only relatives attend her funeral. I'm terribly sorry.
Seriously, it's strange for an unmarried woman to live alone. (implying to spinsters who live alone with their cats)
Anyways, please do something about your cat.
How eccentric of her, right, Julie?
With that said,
she hoped that her mother has returned home
to her father who died at 50 years old
and to her grandmother who lived till she was 89 years old,
she prayed at their photos
while reminiscing embarassing memories she had with her mother who was in heaven.
Let's go. That hurts.
Where's the album?
Ah, there it is!
A folding screen.
I was scared of this thing when I was child, you know?
So, mother put it away.
Compared to you, his eyes are scarier right?
Mother...
has always been storing this thing away since then.
Ah, that hurts!
What did I just do?
Ah, that hurts!
Oh no! I dirtied it.
Oh no!
Eh, that's strange!
How nostalgic!
Tsubakki College Acceptance Letter
Please give up on going to college.
Your grandmother met with an accident, so she can't take care of herself anymore.
Take care of her & help her with the house chores, Sumi!
I'm counting on you.
But...
she finally managed to enter Tsubaki College.
It's a waste of time for girls to study!
Women don't need education.
Whta's your wish?
What's your wish?
I want to go to college.
I want to study more.
Is that all?
I want to try falling in love too.
I want to enjoy my youth.
Some more? Tell me more of your wishes.
I
want to fix my life.
I will do as you wish.
What's your name?
Sumi Kisaragi.
My name is Rei.
Sumi,
You have released my seal.
Idiotic cat!
Please don't call me by such a vulgar name.
Does this form frighten you? How troublesome.
What do you think? Not scared anymore right?
Well, that's enough.
I'll grant your wish, Sumi.
It's morning already?
Oh, no! The garbage!
Wait! My house's garbage too!
Sorry...
This too, please.
Ah, yes, it's okay.
Thank you very much.
Is there something wrong?
Ah, no, it's rare to see a young lady wear such an old yukata sexily.
What is this?
Why am I in this state?
I granted your wish.
Idiotic cat!
If you say I'm stupid,
you are also stupid, Sumi.
Because you're still 65 years old inside.
I granted your wish.
You said you wanted to fix your life.
But, when I granted it, you blamed me
for making your body young again, back to your 20 year old form.
20 years old?
Why did you do such a thing?
When a living virgin's blood is spilled,
her wish from the heart,
that's my contract I'm tied to.
Contract?
That's right.
When your wish is realised,
I will become free from the curse of the foolding screen.
So, until then, you are my master.
Master?
Kisaragi Sumi. No, from today onwards, you're Sumire Kisaragi.
Sumire Kisaragi?
Please enjoy your youth to the fullest.
If possible, I'd like your wish to be realised quickly.
So?
Keiwa Amano
It means from now on, this temple will have a new magic it needs.
So, from now on, here, we will show a Tokyo dance.
Today is your 6th time here. What dance? Nonsense.
That's to get into the mood of singing and dancing.
It's soul!
Chiaki Yoshinogo
That's not soul or anything.
Please leave this temple immediately!
Dump what that girl's holding later too!
I am going out for a bit, so please throw that away.
Eh, where are you going, uncle?
Could it be your lover's house?
I'm visiting Sancho's niece, Kisiragi Sumi.
I called her to talk about the remaining unfinished matters, but
a male answered the phone. She's supposed to live alone, so I'm coming to check on her.
Well, it's true that you would look at someone who's 65 years old too.
Be careful! You might fall for her.
That hurts!
Stop acting like that hurt so much & stop spouting nonsense!
It's bursting with energy.
That hurts
It used to be always wrinkly.
You're making sure you won't grow old again?
Wait, what are you talking about?
you dirty jerk!
If you're always in that kind of clothes, you will catch a cold.
Well, I understand that since you have a young body, it has a better immune system.
I'll go out! I'll go out!
I'll come out in a bit.
Excuse me.
Umm...what are you doing?
It's just as you see.
You're looking for something in my clothes?
I'm currently looking for clothes that will fit you.
That...what & where did you hear that from? I can't guess.
What does it matter where I heard it from?
The way you talk... why did it suddenly change?
Becauuse Master Sumire is my master.
So, I must speak respectfully.
That Sumire Master's name
why can't I use my real name when I am back in my former younger self's body?
It's because you're starting a new life, so you need a new name too.
Well, you can dump that name & use another one for your new life.
New life? What's that?
Of course, it's Master Sumire's college life.
College? Yes.
That's what you wished for in your sleep 3 days ago.
3 days ago?!
Everyday is a surprise for you, huh?
I can't go to class.
The 65 year old me, suddenly going to college is a bit...
You wanted to go back to college and study.
The one that made that wish was you.
No matter what, you wanted to study at Tsubaki College.
Isn't that so?
Tsubaki College Acceptance Letter
Really?
Eh, temple chief, what's up? Hi!
I wanted to discuss with Kisaragi Sumi about something. Is she home?
Speaking of which, I haven't seen her for a while now.
Maybe she's sick.
Then, if you see her, can you tell her to contact the temple?
Yeah, but could it be... someone died again? /Nreferring to Sumika
Speaking of it, can you smell it, even a little bit?
No way!
Stop making weird jokes!
Just as I have thought, she must have thought I was thinking about a normal flower.
It smells...ugly! *sensitive to spiritual world*
This year, I'm suddenly going to college...
It doesn't hurt.
My knee, my lower back, everything's fine!
Mashiro!
What's up with you all of a sudden?
I told you that I wanted to go shopping, didn't I?
But, you just went back without my consent.
I didn't even get to rest.
Yusei Mashiro
Look! She looks like she's having fun!
Is she someone you know?
She has some unusual clothes right? Yeah...
But, a great smile.
Arisa Kosaka
Hey, let's go!
Eh?
Are you here to deliver the neighborhood notice, Miss Ogura?
May I know who you are?
Huh?
Umm... I'm Kisaragi's distant relative. Distant relative?
Really? I didn't think she would have such a young relative at her age.
If you're new where, why do you know my name?
That's because...I heard about you from Sumi. She said that you always took good care of her.
Then, where's Sumi?
I rang the doorbell over & over but she didn't come out.
Sumi moved away. Moved away?
No way! There's no way she would do that.
It's true.
Sumi went to see the greenery after her mother died to spend the rest of her days freely.
But, this is where her home is,
to think that she had just leave it behind and go off to another place
You're a surprisingly persistent neighbor, aren't you?
Hold on!
Sumire and I are distant relatives of Sumi's.
This house was entrusted to us by her.
I see.
Sumi, my regards then.
Oh, what a cute cat! Come to my house & play, okay?
Rei, what have you done to her?
A technique. Specifically ,a technique that amplifies human greed.
A technique?
Don't worry! I would never use it against you.
Since you're my master.
Anyways, have you gotten used to your youthful body?
I can't.
Enough, I'm tired.
Eh, but I'm not exhausted yet?!
Then, I'm glad.
I did my part & studied a lot of things about your collection.
Studied?
To be honest, I was taken aback by surprise by the huge amount of smiles.
I have lived for 65 years, so
it's just a meagre hobby.
No matter how many times
I watched them till they were worn out,
I want to go back & watch them again.
Looking at the happinness in their eyes, it seemed like a wonderful, wide world.
Starting from tomorrow,
that world will be yours if you have confidence.
That night,
it was the first time that I was scared to close my eyes & sleep.
So, in the end, the thing you want left you a scar?
I'm okay since I'm young. I can even go through 2 sleepless nights.
That's the way!
Doesn't she look bad?
Look at her! The atmosphere's weird, seriously!
Horrible! Is she serious?
I don't know. Unbelievable!
It's cold today!
I should have brought my warm water.
OMG! Doesn't she look awful?
I thought so too!
These clothes don't look good at me?
Why?
Which part of me looks weird?
Who's that? Yeah, I have never seen her before.
In the first place, doesn't her clothes look weird?
You're right.
Eh, somehow her clothes are a bit...
How laughable!
Why does she dress up like my grandmother?
What's with this game's punishment? So lame!
Oh, I'm sorry! It's alright.
Eh, aren't you that lady from last time?
The bus is shaking a bit, so please be careful!
You're the student at the bus last time!
Bus?
No, I saw you at the park though.
Really? Oh, you're someone from my university!
First year student?
I'm a 2nd year student.
My faculty is lterature and humanities.
Really? Me too.
Did you get Professor Ezomi's class?
Yes, I did.
Then, shall we go?
Are you okay?
You seemed to be at your wits' end.
At my wits' end? No, I wasn't.
What's wrong?
Umm...
I wasn't at my wits' end though.
You're funny!
Oh, I'm Yusei Mashiro.
I'm Sumi Kisaragi.
No, I meant...Sumire Kisaragi.
Pleased to meet you.
Same here.
We go to the same college, but how come I've never seen you here before?
Umm... I have always stayed at home.
Always?
For about 49 years. Huh?
Oh, no!
You're seriously funny!
Good morning! Excuse me.
Did you catch a cold?
Yes!
It's bad if this condition continues. Yeah.
Awful!
Umm... would you like a sweet for your throat?
Thank you.
Btw, who are you?
Wow, your clothes!
She's Sumire Kisaragi. She has always stayed at home.
I'm Kento Tsuji.
We were in our 3rd year in elementary school since I've last seen such boring clothes.
Kento Tsuji
No, it's not!
Hey, can I have a piece of that too?
Huh? That!
Here you go!
Thank you.
It's been a long time since I last saw the blackboard.
If you go that way, you'll reach the cafeteria.
If you keep walking this way, there's a library.
Wait! This way.
Sorry...
Are you alright so far? Yes! Thank you.
No problem. It's best if I helped a new student.
Is this correct? -Yes. I see.
Be careful of the...
What's this?
Umm... Mashiro!
No need to be so formal.
We're in the same year in college after all.
Then, Mashiro, I want to thank you for your kidness of showing me around the college.
Is that okay with you? -What is?
I...
People are looking at me.
Because I look weird.
Well, to be honest, I think there are such nostalgic clothes though.
Just as I have thought,
these clothes were made by my deceased mother.
It's one of my best clothes though.
Deceased mother?
Your mom's awesome!
She can make her own clothes.
It's valuable to you, right?
Sorry for calling it nostalgic.
No need to be. It's true after all.
Anyways,
If you're talking about guiding you around, I don't mind.
But...
You already gave me the sweet.
My deceased grandmother also kept sweets in her bag.
She would say, "Eat it quickly!" to me.
Okay, let's take a break for a bit!
I'll go buy us some drinks. Go save us a seat.
Okay.
*speaking like an old woman who's about to sit down*
Oh, excuse me.
OMG! I accidentally said that outloud.
Here's your tea!
Oh, thank you.
Oh, it's Kurosaki Sumi!
Yes!
In the past, I have always watched her movies during my past-time
and thought that studying isn't my specialty.
I think it's a good idea. I also have that movie
Then...
Good work, Mashiro!
Who is she? It's my first time seeing her.
I'm Sumire Kisaragi.
She's from the same faculty as me. She's in my class too.
Oh, I see.
I'm Risa Kousaka.
Nice to meet you.
Wow, you're so polite.
Could you be a princess somewhere?
Not at all.
I'm Sumire Kisaragi.
Sorry if I have troubled you in any way.
Pleased to meet you.
Welcome to my class.
It's okay to wear such clothes.
If you have anything to ask about the Mass Communication research,
feel free to ask.
I'll do my best.
But, just as I have thought,
I can do this too today!
Well then, today's outing is to celebrate Sumire Kisaragi's enrollment to this college.
Everyone's okay with karaoke today right?
Kousaka is always pushy.
I'm really sick today though.
Then, you don't have to come.
Is it okay with you, Kisaragi Sumire?
That is somehow a bit...
I'm a 1st year student, Mio Nishihara.
Unless you wished to mess with the dark woman, Kousaka senior, you better be careful.
Hey, at the karaoke place, there's something that wiill make you energetic again!
Wow! You're good. Thank you.
Is this Master Sumire's best friend?
[Chiisana no Uta] Proposal Daisakusen OST
What are you doing, Sumi?
Yes, this is my first time karaoke-ing. -Your first time?
Wow!
Hey guys, Sumire said that this is her first time karaoke-ing.
Wow! Really?
You gotta be kidding? Didn't you have any friends?
About that...
Umm...what do you guys call this song?
Eh, you don't know?
It's very famous though.
What do you usually listen to?
Music...
Tsutonobi.
You don't know him, right?
Here! You should choose a song too.
No, I can't. I have never sung before.
No, you should. After all, it's your celebration party.
Here. I'm next.
Such a hi-tech machine
I don't know a thing about how to use it.
There are no buttons, so where should I push?
There are lots of things that I have never seen before.
What happens if I touch the centre?
What happened?
Hey, why did you stop it?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Unbelievable!
Isn't it just rude to stop a song when someone's singing?
Sorry.
I don't know how to use such a hi-tech machine.
Hi-tech?
She doesn't know how t use it. Is she an old woman?
That's enough.
You didn't do it on purpose right?
Yes.
Hey, do continue.
I'm going to the toilet for a bit.
Umm...Kousaka,
about just now... I said it's okay.
Please read the atmosphere.
Must I say it to you clearly, so that you can understand?
Then, I'll say it,
to be honest, you're annoying,
please go home immediately!
Mashiro is...
kind to everyone.
He probably finds someone like you a pain to be around.
When a slow person like you is present, you don't need to do much to make a fool out of yourself.
I'm sorry. (formal)
You wear such lame shoes
unaware of the political power here,
I'm saying, "Please, don't waste our time".
You're an eyesore!
Here! You can go home now.
Pay the membership fee first before you leave.
Thank you for today!
I had fun.
Here you go.
She's so laughable though.
Is it really her first time karaoke-ing?
She didn't realise at all that we were the ones who stopped that song.
Eh, where's Sumi?
She said she had some business to take of, so she left.
That's a pity.
We were celebrating her today though.
I didn't get her phone number.
What are you doing?
Rei
you're not smiling as usual.
I went karaoke-ing with my college friends.
But, it was no good.
Just as I have thought, I can't get along well with them.
It seems I'm being hated.
It can't be helped right?
Noone wants to be friends with me. How do I say this clearly, I'm burdening everyone.
Plus, everyone already has their value, but the real 65 year old me is worthless for I don't know what to do.
What should I do for you to gain friends?
45 years ago, were you good at hanging out with your friends?
It's impossible. Definitely.
Back then, I really had a close friend.
We got accepted to the same college, Tsubaki College.
The two of us would nap by the ocean, we were happy.
But, why did Sumi have to bear all this burden?
After all that trouble, we finally managed to enter into the university of our dreams.
It can't be helped.
My family's really in a bind.
*cake talk*
Instead of confronting her, I ran away.
I didn't want to show my pitiful self to her who was shiny & glitterinng.
So,
nothing will change right?
In the past and now.
Being introverted today
Just changing your body
means nothing.
So, that's enough.
Being young and spunky again doesn't change one's aura.
It's better to be an old adult, the 65 year-old me.
Nonsense.
Were you asleep
in your 60s?
Didn't you feel anything?
Didn't you have a dear slam?
Inside of you,
there's the 65 year old living, don't you have a history yo want to redo?
You haven't even lived to your fullest even once yet.
I would never let my master cry.
Even if I were a 60 year old hag, I'll gather all my heart & go!
Your wish to redeem your youth hasn't even started yet.
Eh, why did you come back?
You forgot something? But, it's over though.
Didn't I tell you to go home? Get lost!
Sorry, but just as I have thought, I can't leave just like that.
So, please let me sing one song! -One song?
What's up with that?
Sumi!
What's up? You said you were going home just now.
Moshiro
What should we do, Moshiro?
It'll be troublesome if we let her sing now.
Sure! For 1 song.
Okay.
Let's go! You came back?
I was worried when you disappeared so suddenly.
She said she wants to sing a song.
Then, what song do you want?
Tsutonobi's 3 Days Type of Love
What song is this? -I don't know.
It's Tsutonobi.
I'm embarassed myself.
But, it's a good song.
Sorry for all the trouble.
Sorry for making you guys wait.
But...
from today onwards, I will do my best!
I may make mistakes & I hope you guys will forgive me. Please treat me kindly.
You cleared things up and your face returned back to normal.
It was my first time, singing a song in front a lot of people.
You worked hard, huh? You 65 year old hag.
65 years old isn't a senior citizen yet, so you can't say that.
In my days,
the 60s were the age of complete hags though.
Well then, lets' go home.
Wait! I'll rest here a bit.
Oh no! Just now, I was okay, but I remembered that I overworked my legs this morning.
Wait! What are you doing?
You can't move your legs right?
And I was afraid that you might catch a cold.
That's my job. I have to protect you.
What if someone sees us?
Then, can we do this at home?
So
Think whatever you like. -Whatever I like?
Well, honestly...I won't say such a thing!
Anyways, please put me down.
You're one noisy woman.
Nah, you're an extremely noisy woman.
