Hiroshi-kun, how are you?
Today is our Middle School reunion.
I'm off!
We're all having a reunion at the restaurant where we had our farewell party after our graduation.
Kawai
But you were there back then.
The Way We Were
Nanja Monja
Open
Oh! Yuu-chan!
Taka-chan! Kitano-san!
Long time no see!
What do you mean? We just spoke on the phone!
It's been a while since the three of us got together.
Yeah.
What's with your hairstyle, Taka-chan?
Oh, this? We practiced giving each other perms.
Does it suit me?
Yes!
Fashionable things suit you, Taka-chan.
You're quite fashionable yourself.
Well, I can study well, too.
You may look different, but you're still the same underneath.
It's only been a few months since we graduated.
Yeah.
Nanja Monja
Stop fooling around!
Come join us!
C'mon, Yuu-chan.
Okay.
Thanks for organizing everything.
It's too bad that Naganuma left.
I called him, but he didn't answer.
Nothing we can do. He's busy practicing soccer.
T-That's not it!
Right?
Yes.
But you're dating, aren't you?
W-Well, yeah.
You lucky dog, you!
So when's the wedding?
Dummy! What are you saying?
Yuu-chan!
It's been so long!
How've you been?
I'm good.
Naganuma can't make it?
Is he busy?
I don't know.
Well... we couldn't contact him.
What? You just didn't try hard enough.
Sorry.
It's not your fault, Miyau.
I haven't contacted him for a long time.
Oh, s-sorry. Don't worry about me.
C'mon! We should be enjoying ourselves!
I know! Let's make a toast! OK?
Y-Yeah.
Good idea!
Does everyone have a cup?
Here, Kitano-san.
Thanks.
Gimme one too, Marilyn.
Here, Yuu-chan.
Then let's have our organizer, Miyau, make the toast.
M-Me?
Good idea! Do it!
We're counting on you, Miyau.
Go for it.
What are you so nervous about?
W-Well thanks to your encouragement, I'll make a toast... I...
You're so nervous!
Um... Let's begin Shiomi Middle School's reunion!
Cheers!
I'll have the special mix!
I'll have cheese and corn!
And I'll have...
Oh, this looks good.
Nanja Monja
See ya! Bye bye!
Bye bye!
Bye bye Yuu-chan!
See you, Kitano-san!
Wanna have some tea?
Sounds good.
Sorry, I have a curfew back home.
I see.
See ya, Yuu-chan.
See ya.
Did something happen between Yuu-chan and Naganuma-kun?
I-I don't know.
I didn't hear anything, but...
She seems depressed.
Yeah.
I'm worried about her.
Naganuma-kun's probably having a tough time too, since he's not used to dormitory life.
Yeah.
They got along so well.
Push button
I never thought they'd be separated.
Hey Kitano, have you heard?
What?
About Yuu-chan and Naganuma-kun.
No.
I see.
What about you?
I only heard it a short while ago.
I'm worried about them.
Me too.
I'm home.
Welcome home.
How'd it go?
Everyone seemed to be doing well.
Hiroshi-kun's busy practicing for soccer and stuff.
That's true.
Oh, I won't be having dinner.
Japan's Tallest Mountain - Mt. Fuji.
I'll be practicing soccer every day. See ya! April 2nd Hiroshi
Hiroshi-kun only wrote me one letter after he started at Shizuoka.
I'll be practicing soccer every day. See ya! April 2nd Hiroshi
He hasn't come back for vacation, he hasn't called either...
Even when I called him...
Um... is this Kakegawa 1st High School, Seiun Dormitory?
Um... may I speak to Naganuma-kun in room 203?
No, you may not. I can't let girls from outside the school speak to students.
Sorry!
What was that about?
Hiroshi-kun's (Yuuko's) Treasure
Hiroshi-kun is obsessed with soccer.
Kawai-san.
I'm sorry about what happened with Naganuma.
I couldn't reach him.
It's OK.
But...
Hiroshi-kun might have changed.
Maybe our relationship wasn't meant to work out long-distance.
That's not true!
You need to have more faith in him.
Yeah.
I think so too, but sometimes I feel uneasy.
I don't know what he's thinking.
I said it'll be all right!
It doesn't matter how far away you are!
It doesn't matter whether he's thinking about you or not!
As long as you love him, everything will be fine!
Thank you.
You're trying to cheer me up, right?
That's not it.
I... I've always... liked you.
I'm sorry.
Hearing you say that makes me very happy, but...
I still can't forget about Hiroshi-kun.
O-Okay.
I understand.
Sorry.
Please forget what I just said.
Beautician's School
Let's grab a bite on the way home.
I want pudding!
Yuu-chan?
Taka-chan.
I see. Miyau likes you.
He's such a kind person.
But I noticed something about him after he confessed to me.
I said I liked Hiroshi-kun.
So why... why won't Hiroshi-kun contact me?
Why don't you ask him yourself?
Worrying about it won't help.
Ask him why he won't call you.
You like him, so you should meet and ask him yourself.
But I can't leave home on my own, I have a curfew, and it will be expensive.
That doesn't matter.
If you want to see him...
If you want to see him, it'll work out!
It's like you're trying to run away.
I'm so scared.
What if I ask him, and he doesn't like me anymore?
Yuu-chan, during the school trip, you tried your hardest to get Shibazaki and I back together.
Back then, if you didn't bring us together, we might have broken up.
That's why I'd like you to believe in your own love like you believed in ours back then.
At this rate, things will just get worse.
My Petition to Dad From Yuuko Please let me go on a trip by myself. Please extend my curfew from 8pm to 10pm. Please add temporary bonus to my allowance.
Please!
No. Absolutely not.
I implore you!
No means no.
Sis went on journeys by herself when she was in high school.
Toshiko was much more mature than you are now.
We're home.
What's wrong, darling?
If we let her be selfish once, she'll take it for granted.
Honestly.
I didn't get her a word processor so she could do this.
She's such a pain.
"Please let me go on a trip by myself".
"Extend my curfew from 8pm to 10pm."
"Temporary bonus".
What's this?
Yuuko.
I'm coming in.
I brought four month's worth of your allowance.
Go see Hiroshi-kun.
You should come back before your curfew.
Mom!
Thank you so much!
Hiroshi-kun... I'm going to see Hiroshi-kun.
I'm going to ask him how he feels!
And... if Hiroshi-kun wants to forget about me...
We have arrived at Kakegawa station.
Please remember to take all of your personal belongings.
Kakegawa!
Kakegawa station!
I'm here.
Please take me to Kakegawa 1st High School.
They're on vacation today.
But their soccer club might be practicing.
In this rain?
They're not practicing.
Would you like to go back?
N-No. Please let me off here.
Staff Entrance
E-Excuse me Do you work here?
Is the soccer club training...
They usually practice in the rain, but they're taking a rare day off today.
No one's here.
Staff Entrance
Um... where's Seiun Dormitory?
Staff Entrance
Girls aren't allowed there.
Staff Entrance
Especially not stalkers.
I-I'm not.
Wait...
Are you Yuuko-chan?
Kakegawa 1st High School Seiun Dormitory
U-Um, how do you know about me?
Naganuma-kun showed me your picture.
He said he has a cute girlfriend in Tokyo.
He takes it with him wherever he goes.
He said that when he's training hard, he gets stronger when he looks at your picture and trains even harder!
He's training hard, and he doesn't have any time to go home.
Freshmen have to work hard until they become regulars.
He'll be fine. I know he'll be a regular.
They rarely have days off, so he's going to Shizuoka with everyone.
You should wait here for him.
I will.
I see. He went to see her.
Lucky Burger
Yuu-chan's very passionate.
She can't forget about him. They've been going out for several years now.
Yeah.
I hope things go well for them.
What are you doing?!
Yo!
It's been a while.
Where's Kawai-san?
We're taking a break from training today, so I came to see her.
She's not at home.
You moron!! Kawai-san went to Kakegawa to see you.
She went to Kakegawa because she was terribly worried about you!
If Kawai-san is precious to you...
Go.
Go to her right now.
Miyau.
You...
Thank you.
I'll go see her.
Miyau.
You were really cool just now.
Wait for me, Yuuko.
Thank you very much.
Leaving already?
He should be back soon.
Yes. But I have a curfew, so...
I see. And you went to such trouble to come here.
When he comes back, I'll tell him you came to visit.
Um... please send my best regards to Hiroshi-kun.
I will.
We will soon be arriving at Kakegawa. Kakegawa.
Um... I would like to purchase an unreserved ticket for Tokyo.
The train for Tokyo will be departing soon.

There will be heavy rain over the southern regions of Kakegawa.
New Osaka
Naganuma-kun!
Yuuko-chan was waiting for you!
She had a curfew, so she just left for the train station.
If you go there right now, you can catch her before she leaves.
I'll open the gate for you after curfew.
Go for it!
Kodama 468 bound for Tokyo will be arriving shortly.
Yuuko. Yuuko. Yuuko.
The train is now arriving.
Please wait behind the yellow line.

H-Hey!
Yuuko.
I broke my curfew.
Me too.
