I still haven't decided where to go.
I really want go to Kita High School, just like Hiroshi-kun, but my grades aren't good enough.
Poor me.
Left Behind
Hey, Yuu-chan! Where are you gonna go for high school?
I guess I'll go someplace where they have a cute school uniform.
I hope I can take a train to school.
Don't you want to go to the same school as Naganuma-kun?
I wish! That's impossible.
I've decided to give up on that from the start.
My grades aren't good enough.
That's why I thought that I wanted to go someplace near his school.
Then we can go home together everyday.
You're going to Sakuragaoka, right, Kitano-san?
My results have been bad lately, so I might not be able to get in.
C-Cheer up! OK?
OK. I think it'll be fine. I can take the entrance exam for Kita High.
Her second choice is the school that Hiroshi-kun's going to!
I never pass that entrance exam!
Hey, Taka-chan, where are you going for high school?
Taka-chan?
What about you?
Well... I haven't really decided yet...
I was going to decide after I talked to you about it.
Huh?
I know! Let's go to the same school!
You haven't decided yet, right?
Eh?
N-No.

Yuuko doesn't look well. Is she feeling ill?
Oh, darling! She has to decide which schools she wants to go to by Friday.
Oh, already?
Hey, Sis, what made you decide to go to your high school?
Oh, Romeo. Why art thou Romeo?
Well...I think it was because they had a very active drama club.
Juliet, so that's where you were!
It depends on what you want to do in high school.
Oh, I want to go on trips with everyone in High School, I wanna do some karaoke, and, um...and then...
You idiot! You're supposed to study at school!
If you don't want to study, then get a job!
What? No one does that these days!
That's prejudiced. There are jobs that require a lot of training for you after junior high, like craftsmanship.
There are many people who cannot go to school because of family circumstances.
Well, yes, but...
You can go anywhere you want, so take your time and think about it.
Think it through carefully.

Dad's such a jerk!
He called me an idiot all of a sudden, and he said I should get a job right after junior high.
What'd you expect?
Huh?
I know someone who left school and got a job, and started his own shop in his twenties.
He's working very hard now.
I don't think I should leave home to get a job.
You're still feel like a primary school student, don't you?
What?
Jerk!
Yuuko! Hey, wait up!

Taka-chan, have you decided which high school you're going to?
No, not yet.
The deadline is tomorrow. so we don't have much time.
Don't drag me into this, Yuu-chan!
But...I've already decided to go to the same school as you.
You're such a bother.
I'll wait for you, OK?
Don't change your mind, OK?

I can't make up my mind!

C'mon! Show me!
"Beautician Training School"

First Choice Beautician Training School
Second Choice
I can't believe it.
You're not going to high school?
No.
Why? I thought that we could go to the same High School together.
It's not like we made a promise.
Why did you decide without my permission?
You should have consulted me at least!
It's none of your business!
What's wrong with deciding for myself?
Taka-chan.
I thought about having fun in the same high school as you.
It wasn't an easy decision.
But I thought about it very hard, and I like fashion.
I'd like to own my own shop in the future...
So I thought that I should go to a beautician's school from the start to get skills for my future.
And besides, I don't like studying, and I won't be able to fool around in high school.
Oh, Takako is going to a Beautician Training School?
She has a good fashion sense, so it might suit her.
I thought that we'd be in the same high school together.
High school isn't an amusement park.
At this point, everyone could just go to high school
but I think that she is very mature
because she decided for herself to go to a Beautician Training School for her future.
By the way, what about you?
What are you going to do for high school?
I-I haven't decided yet.
What?
What are you doing?
I know!
But I can't think about it seriously.
I don't think I can decide this on my own.
How can you say that?
You're too laid back!
It's not an easy decision, right?
It'll help determine my future.
That's why you need to make a firm decision today.
Everyone else has made a decision long ago.
I've been thinking about it very hard!
Where would you like to go?
U-um...well...my first choice is Nishi High, then Shoei's Women's School,
and finally, Shugaku High.
I see. A school close by, a school with a cute uniform,
and a school where you can hang out on the way home, right?
That's not why I chose them.
Sorry. I was just kidding.
Most people don't decide for such silly reasons.
I was fed-up, thinking about the short-term, and everyone else was thinking clearly about their future.
Will I...be left behind?
My head hurts.
I don't want to go to school.
Yuuko! You'll be late if you don't hurry!
Yuuko! Are you awake?
Come on, Yuuko! Get up!
I don't feel well.
Huh? How sick do you feel?
I-I think have a fever.
That's strange. You don't feel warm.
Should I take your temperature?
M-Maybe it's my stomach.
Would you like some stomach medicine?
No, thanks.
Should I take you to the hospital?
I'm fine!
I just need some sleep.
Okay. You can take the day off today.
Thanks.
What about breakfast?
I don't want any.
I tell the school you're taking the day off, OK?
I'm playing hooky!
Yes. Yes, I'm terribly sorry.
Thank you.
Is Yuuko sick?
Yes.
Isn't she just playing hooky?
She seemed healthy enough yesterday.
Is she playing hooky?
She's got a slight fever.
Don't go easy on her.
You're never strict with her.
Yes, dear.
What about your diabetes?
Ka wai
I'm off!
Have a good day.
I can hear the chime all the way out here.
It's first period...
It only concerns me, right? What's wrong with me deciding for myself?
I won't be able to fool around in high school.
I'm kinda shocked. Taka-chan thought about it like that.
I understand why she didn't talk to me about it.
I always thought that only Taka-chan thought like me.
She thought firmly about her future, and decided to go to a Beautician Training School.
It's not just Taka-chan.
Everyone thought about it firmly.
Hiroshi will go to Kita High School, and Kitano-san will go to Sakuragaoka.
Everyone has decided firmly on their goals.
And me?
I'm the only one who hasn't decided.
I'm the only one who looks like an idiot, just drifting along.
At this rate, if we go to high school, we'll be separated.
And we'll all become adults.
Where...am I?
Hiroshi-kun! Taka-chan! Kitano-san!
Hey, wait! Wait for me!
Wait!
Hey, wait up!
Where are you going?
Hey, wait!
My legs feel heavy.
Everyone's...getting further away from me.
Miss...
Yes?
Show me your ticket.
The ticket with your future destination written on it.
I-I don't have it.
You can't go any further without a ticket.
Everyone's made their reservations a long time ago.
You're the only one without a ticket.
It might be too late for you now.
B-But...
Wait up!
Don't leave me behind!
Hey! Take me with you!
Taka-chan!
Kitano-san!
Hiroshi-kun!
A dream...
I'm the only one...left behind.
Today
Weather in various places.
Tokyo: Sunny.
Sapporo: Cloudy, with rain developing.
Oh, you're awake.
Are you feeling better?
Yeah.
Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?
Look at the time.
Yeah.
Channel in the Afternoon
Oh, you're always watching this in the afternoon, Mom?
I guess. You can't see this because you're at school, right?
This channel shows scandals, and other boring things.
That's not the only thing it has.
Good Afternoon For Despos TV
Yesterday, I saw a documentary about a 40-year-old who went to high school.
Well, at that age, I wonder why he wants to go to High School.
There are people who couldn't go when they wanted to.
But I don't know what he's planning to do. Is it really helping him?
People don't just go to high school for their own sake.
But Hiroshi-kun and Taka-chan really thought about it hard.
Kitano-san and everyone else thought about what they wanted to do in the future,
and chose their high school based on that.
You have rice on your face.
So, what about you?
I'd like to keep doing this for a while.
I don't want to be separated from everyone.
But you'll never become an adult like that.
B-But...I haven't thought about anything yet!
I was going to go because everyone else was going.
I didn't really think about what I wanted to do in high school.
That's all right. You can think about it when you get there.
You'll be fine once you get there. Just think about what you want to do when you grow up.
B-But...
It's just a coincidence that all of your friends are well-organized.
Most people at your age wouldn't think about their futures.
Don't worry about what other people think.
Think about it at your own pace.
Well...maybe I don't want to go after all.
I don't want to leave everyone.
What are you saying? You can make many new friends in high school.
You'll learn to look at things in a different way, and you'll figure out what you want to do with your future.
High school... I can make new friends and decide on my future.
I'll go to high school to make new friends and decide my future.
That'd be great!
It's the fever of wisdom, huh...
I'm sorry. Thank you for coming all this way.
I think she had a high fever this afternoon, so she's sleeping right now.
Actually, I said something mean to Yuu-chan yesterday.
About going to a new school?
I'm sorry! I was cruel, and...
That's not it. She's easygoing, so she listens to everyone
and rushed to think about too many things at once and ended up with a fever.
She usually doesn't think at all, so she should get better soon.
Oh... Thank goodness!
Please give this to her.
It's today's notes.
Oh, and these too.
Thank you very much.
Would you like some tea?
Ka wai
Shall I wake her up?
No, please let her rest.
Please excuse us.
Oh, are you sure that's OK?
Yes. We're sorry to have bothered you.
Sorry to have bothered you!
Oh, that's all right. I'm sorry I couldn't do more for you.
Please come again.
We will!
Ka wai
Your turn!
Is it ok that we didn't explain today's lesson to Yuu-chan?
Naganuma-kun will take care of it.
Okay.
Ka wai
Um, how is Yuuko-san?
Would you like to come in?
B-But...
It's fine. She'll get better after she sees you.
She just needs to see you.
Right!
Take these.
Taka-chan and Kitano brought these for her.

Summer has come, together with an incredibly refreshing breeze!
That fizzy feeling, in clear lemon cider, there is a fluttering thought, 'I like you'.

The bubbles are going to pop.
Pop and disappear.
For just one summer, 'I like you'.
Just once, 'I like you'.
