Miya-chan, you got it right this time!
For assaults
The snow feels so cool and relaxing!
Yunocchi!
Miya-chan, you picked all the tomatoes, right?
Yunocchi, it's morning!
Yuno-chan really loves to sleep in!
Yunocchi!
Morning, Yunocchi.
Good morning.
Huh? Miya-chan? Landlady?
Yuno-chan, I won this in a raffle at the mall.
You want it?
She got the Game of Life Experience.
Oh, um...
Thank you, Landlady.
People my age don't really play these kinds of things, you know?
I came over to give this to you guys.
I'm not surprised at all that Miya-chan was the only one was awake, since today's a holiday.
You went to all the rooms?
Hey, Yunocchi, let's play the Game of Life Experience now!
Oh, sure.
Yay!
Okay, I'll go get changed and put out some snacks.
All right! I'll go get everyone else.
Okay! Let's hurry so we can get started!
You're playing too?!
youki ni kuchibue fuite
Whistling a cheerful tune
madobe no kotori to sesshon
I join the birds chirping by the window
suima ga yatte kite
When fatigue strikes
atama ga danshingu
My imagination runs wild
nan demo kan demo waraeru nichijou
Everything in life makes me smile
okimari na kishoutenketsu
Nothing really new takes place
demo demo tama ni wa piritto supaisu
But sometimes it's exciting to spice things up
aozora peintingu
Let's paint it on the blue sky
doko ikou
Where should we go?
koko ni iyou
Let's stay here
sore wa nani
What's that?
are yaritai
I wanna try that!
ima ni tokubetsu na shirushi
Let's make this moment count
tokeibari no mawashikata watashi shidai kamo
How fast my clock moves is all up to me
shiki oriori iro toridori
With a rich palette of colors from the four seasons
nonbiri na everyday
Our laid-back everyday lives can be
pasuteru bibiddo metoro
Any blend of pastel, vivid, and metro colors
jibun dake no karaaringu
Anyone can create their own coloring
sono tokidoki mune doki doki
So when your heart races in excitement
hachamecha na taiyou ni oegaki
Just draw a sun at the top
tobidasu aatishizumu
And let your inner artist take you from there
gyutto shite ii kana
Can I hold your hand tight?
suki suki suki wo sukecchi
I've been sketching everything I love
nijiiro ni somete iku yo
And painting them in rainbow colors
sore ja ittekimasu
All right, I'm off to have some more fun!
November 10th, Giving Back a Smile
Thank you so much, Landlady.
Don't mention it.
Good morning.
Good morning!
Hey, seniors!
Landlady, what brings you here so early in the morning?
I wanted to see your smiles.
Oh, I remember this!
It brings back memories.
I think I used to play it when I was little.
Do you two want to play with us too?
Yeah, we have time.
Yay!
Shouldn't seniors be hitting the books?
Sheesh, Landlady.
It's just for today!
Everybody needs a breather once in a while. Right?
All right, let's do this.
Before playing, read these instructions carefully
Life Experience
Instructions
Life Experience
Let's see...
Each person starts with 3000 dollars.
So we pin the character sticks on the car pieces.
I don't really get how stocks rise and fall.
Huh?
We've never really dealt with them.
"Become a doctor" seems pretty far-fetched for us too.
Become a doctor.
Proceed to payday.
Landlady, mind if we change this to fit Hidamari Apartments?
Oh, go ahead.
Will it take much time?
A little.
Okay, I'm going to take a nap in Sae-chan's room. Come get me when you're done.
Why does it have to be my room?!
Here!
Feel free to use these.
Oh, awesome!
Thanks.
We can replace the events, right?
You could write the new events on thick paper and tape them on.
What are you painting, Yuno-san?
I'm painting the car's license plate yellow
Yu
to make it a light vehicle!
The goal of the game is to become rich...
...and you're downgrading the car?
This is the first time we've all worked together since we made the Hidamari Apartments sign!
I think you're right.
Huh, you made that sign?
Yeah, last summer.
Make a new Hidamari Apartments nameplate and replace it. Thanks!
Love, your landlady
The landlady randomly asked us to.
Hidamari Apartments
Isn't it weird? It feels like it's been much longer.
Yeah.
Each of us did a letter the way we wanted,
so there's no real sense of uniformity.
Can you tell who drew which?
Hi
da
ma
ri
Apt
Oh, I can sorta make the connections.
Ta-da!
Hidamari Apartments!
Wow!
You even drew in all the details!
This is incredible, Miyako-senpai!
Special
Miya-chan, what is this?
Don't look!
Don't look
I'm saving the surprise until someone reaches this square.
We should use the occupations that we're likely to get, I guess.
What could they be?
Like designer or illustrator?
A painter!
Of course, a best-selling author.
Jeez.
Then, I'm writing down "art teacher."
Prime Minister!
That's supposed to be likely?
I wish I had a dream career too.
For us, they're mostly jobs that deal with art in one way or another.
What do you want to become in the future?
Well... I haven't thought about it at all.
You're still a first-year.
I'm sure most people decide much later.
I hope you find a wonderful dream.
Thanks!
What kind of event grids are you making, Nazuna?
U-Um...
Whoever lands on square has to massage the person sitting to the left until her next turn.
Whoever lands on this square has to end her sentences with "meow" until the next turn.
The game is about the amount of money you have.
These have nothing to do with money.
Finished!
All right, let's go get the landlady and get start—
We should eat before we start playing.
Good idea!
Okay, I'll go make some rice balls.
I'll help.
I... I'll make miso soup!
Ooh!
Nazuna, do you think you can handle it?
Yeah, I'm gonna try.
Nori-chan, can you come with me in case I need help?
Sure.
Yuno, Miyako, set the table and wake up the landlady, okay?
Aye aye, sir.
Bon appétit!
This is good!
It's got just the right amount of salt!
Yeah, I can taste the warmth of Hiro-san's palm...
Then you don't have to eat it!
I was trying to compliment you!
It didn't sound like it!
Nazuna-chan's miso soup is good too!
You're right.
I think you've improved.
It was unnerving to watch her make it, though.
I can handle miso soup now!
It's good!
Nazuna-chan, this miso soup is good.
It's good, but...
Isn't there way too much tofu?
U-Um, the store was having a sale the other day...
I bought a whole bunch, but then I realized they were expiring today.
So they were all...
Oh, yeah.
Tofu tends to rot quickly, after all.
Yeah!
Tofu...
trots quickly?
Oh, this is well done!
It starts with you moving into Hidamari Apartments?
Enter Hidamari Apartments
Enter Yamabuki High School
Happy birthday!
Start
And the goal is to become the owner?
Become Hidamari Apartments' landlady
And now you're a billionaire
Goal
That's the last goal, the billionaire!
The owner of Hidamari Apartments is far from a billionaire.
Well, whatever.
Let's get started!
Huh? This game is for two to six people.
Okay.
Nazuna-chan!
Let's team up.
Why me?!
Team Regular.
The word "regular" isn't really how I'd describe you.
Okay, from entering Hidamari Apartments and Yamabuki High School...
Begin!
One!
"Matriculation and welcome ceremonies"...
Matriculation and welcome ceremonies
Get $1000 from everyone
Happy birthday!
Exam season
Enter Elementary School
Stop
I can get $1000 from everyone!
But we're in the same year!
Miya-chan, this is how the game works.
Let's see...
"The Yamabuki Jizou gets in the way.
Yamabuki Jizou gets in the way.
Skip your next turn.
Skip next turn...?"
What's the Yamabuki Jizou?
Oh, you haven't seen it?
Deep inside the bamboo thicket next to Yamabuki High's tennis courts,
there's a Jizou statue.
Wow!
You can pray to the statue to make your breasts bigger.
Y-You can?
Sae, that's it!
Pleading to a divine being is your only chance now.
What are you implying?!
I realized a long time that it wouldn't help.
Three, four, five.

It's been a while!
How's it going? Is your Life looking good?
Huh? How did you know?
Nori messaged me and told me you guys were playing the Game of Life Experience.
Chika-chan!
I hear Miyako-san!
How's she doing?
Everyone's doing great!
How about you, Chika-chan?
I'm doing just fine,
but I've been busy with my club activities.
I get stuck with a lot of chores because I'm a first-year.
Who's that?
Sae-san's little sister.
Oh!
Then she should speak with her big sister too!
Hey, your big sister wants to talk to you!

Well, I don't want to hold you up for too long,
so I'm hanging up, meow!
Chika!
Call with: Chika-chan
Call Ended
For crying out loud, Chika!
...meow.
I didn't expect her timing to be so perfect!
Maybe she could tell from her sixth sense.
You all know her, huh?
Yeah, she came over here a few times.
She's a first-year in high school, just like us.
You're really close friends!
No wonder you're good at taking care of others, Sae.
Not at all... meow.
You're so cute!
"Your caterpillar grew wings and became a moth.
Your caterpillar grew wings and became a moth.

Oh yeah, I remember that happening.
Last year, Yunocchi grew a caterpillar thinking it'd become a butterfly,
but it turned out to be a moth when it grew wings.
We were running all over the place trying to get it out of the room!
That'd be quite a shock indeed.
I'm a little hungry.
Yuno-chan, got any beer?
Sorry, but I don't have beer.
She's a minor! Why would she have any?!
It was worth a shot.
Oh, I have some snacks.
Mild tuna flavor...
Mild tuna flavor
Potato Chips
Mild tuna flavor
Yuno-chan, that makes me crave for beer even more!
One, two, three.
You won the Monthly Kirara Prize!
You've become a bestselling author.
Awesome!
I've become a bestselling author!
So you got that one, huh?
I'm a painter.
I've become an art teacher!
I'm a designer!
I... I became the Prime Minister!
Prime Minister, you need to raise employment rates!
Wh-What am I supposed to do?
When I was in high school,
I didn't even think I'd become a landlady when I grew up.
Really?
Well, no one does.
What did you want to become when you were in high school?
I can't tell you that.
That's a profound smile.
You're all still young.
You can become anything!
Don't worry too much and just chase after a grand dream!
You're young too!
You can still pursue your dreams and—
T-Time out.
I can't do that anymore.
Your dreams...
What's your job, Landlady?
Now that I think about it...
What do you mean?
I'm the landlady of Hidamari Apartments.
You don't actually come here that often.
What do you do the rest of the time?
I occasionally see you working part-time, but...
When did you become the owner of Hidamari Apartments?
When you're an adult, life can throw a lot of things your way.
The more secrets you have,
the more mysterious and attractive you come across as!
"You give birth to twins. As congratulations, you get $2000 from everyone."
You had twins!
As congratulations, receive
from everyone.
Geez, twins are kind of...
Sae!
It's cause for celebration.
Don't complain.
There you go!
Sae-san, congratulations!
You're fighting the declining birth rates!
Come on.
It's like Chinese acrobatics!
"Haircut at the Olive, pay $4,000."
Haircut at the Olive
Pay $4000.
Let's see, $4,000, $4,000...
Come on, Sae.
You're so slow because you don't sort your bills.
There!
Wow, that's neat!
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Do you want me to count them all?
Would you? Thanks.
Then, I'll pay you $3,000 for managing my funds.
That's not a rule violation, right, Prime Minister?
It's fine.
These are some pretty loose rules.
Become Hidamari Apartments' landlady
And now you're a billionaire
Goal
Become Hidamari Apartments' landlady
Now, time to announce the results.
With a total amount of $832,000, the winner is...
Nori!
Yay!
Nori was a freeter, so did she get more money than the Prime Minister?
Probably because of a bunch of high-revenue events I got.
Painter
Designer
Novelist
Art Teacher
Prime Minister
Maybe we shouldn't have ruined the balance of a game put together by professionals after all.
Probably.
First off, I think your Game of Life Experience has too few grids where you pay money.
Maybe it's because we added a lot of good grids.
Yeah, we were thinking about our future and all.
Well, that was a lot of fun, surprisingly.
Glad to hear it.
You're shining.
Huh?
Our lives will be smooth sailing!
I'm sure they will.
Man, I envy your youth!
I can't keep up with your energy.
You're young too!
I'm sure you can be more energetic...
I already told you to cut it out.
See you, then.
Good-bye!
These are the signs you made, right?
Hi
da
ma
ri
Apt
Yeah.
They're wonderful.
You think so?
I had a lot of fun today!
I got to hear some new stories about you.
There's more where those came from.
Hiro-san had a huge box of diet jelly—
da
Never mind what she said.
We should make a lot of good memories here too.
Yeah!
Look!
The first star of the night!
There you are!
Oh yeah.

Hey, Yunocchi!
Let's keep this Hidamari edition of the Game of Life Experience around forever!
If the girls who come to live at Hidamari Apartments keep improving it,
it'll keep piling up and in a couple of decades it'll be an amazing game!
Yeah.
And hopefully we'll get together and play again.
We ended up playing all day.
Yeah, but I feel re-energized now.
Let's hit the books hard for our college entrance exams tomorrow.
Yep!
The upperclassmen cleaned this room for us, didn't they?
I wonder what I'll do for the underclassmen when I'm older.
I wonder what I'll become in the future.
As Sae-san said, we can take our time thinking about it.
One of us could even become the Prime Minister if we aimed for it now!
What?
But you're a scatterbrain, so maybe not.
Nori-chan, that's mean!
I'm just kidding.
One, two, three!

Well, that's not too great.
