No, no. I need to wake up now.
After all, today is...
New Year's Eve!
Hello, Mom?
Yeah, I'm cleaning up my room.
Nice!
I'll be getting together with other girls.
Oh, Yuno?
Why aren't you coming home for winter break?
Jeez, honey. I can't hear Yuno's voice.
Yuno, don't mind your dad.
We're doing just fine.
Okay!
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!
December 31st-January 1st, A Year Going Out, A Year Coming In
Wishing...
you...
a happy...
new...
year.
All right!
Nazuna, at that pace you won't finish any time this year.
Are New Year's cards delivered the next day if you post them on New Year's Eve?
Th-That won't happen, but they should get it before the new semester begins!
What's wrong, Nazuna-chan?
I tried to talk and write at the same time...

Make-your-own
Stamp Kit
Set
At first I was going to make my own stamps.
Huh, you didn't use that?
I wanna make some!
I tried, but I gave up pretty quickly.
This is...
Nazuna
You didn't notice until you were done carving?
I'm done!
Celebrations
Miya-chan, that was fast!
Wow!
But it says "celebrations."
It doesn't really have the "New Year's" vibe.
But when you use it...
Bam!
Celebrations
Happy New Year
Happy
Happy New
Happy
Year
Happy New Year
Year
Your kotatsu is nice and big, Nazuna-san.
Sorry for inviting ourselves here.
Oh, I don't mind.
My family used to use this table.
Okay, time for a tangerine quiz!
Huh?
There are three tangerines in this bag right now.
So when Yamauchi-san the farmer has free time, he likes to...
Very sweet!
Tangerine
I grew them
Farmer Yamauchi-san
How are we supposed to know?!
Incorrect.
Nice try, Yunocchi.
Yamauchi-san's hobby is skydiving.
But!
There's more?
Wait, his hobby is skydiving?!
Which one of these three tangerines is the sweetest?
We can't tell that either!
Then let's taste them and find out.
You can't tell if you eat them all at once!
The seniors' study sessions end late in the evening, right?
Yeah, they said they'd be back around six.
It must be rough being a senior,
having to hit the books even on New Year's Eve.
They don't have much time until the entrance exams, after all.
They might be feeling anxious or under pressure.
But they don't seem tense when they're at Hidamari Apartments.
Maybe they're just being considerate.
How about we all act tense?
Well, that'd be kind of...
I hope Sae-san and Hiro-san get into the colleges they want.
Yeah!
But if they don't...
Happy New
Year
Will they stay here another year until they can try again?
Nazuna, what a horrible thing to say!
S-Sorry!
Sorry.
I couldn't help but imagine how nice that would be.
You should go mail the ones you've finished.
But it's so cold outside!
Hey, guys!
Let's find a way to warm ourselves up after mailing out the New Year's cards!
Huh?
Ba-bam, bam, ba-bam!
Masanoyu
This is so warm!
It feels nice.
Taking a bath on New Year's Eve feels special.
It sure does.
I scrubbed down my body thoroughly.
To ring in a refreshing new year,
we cleanse ourselves of what has collected on us over the past year,
even though we wash our body every day.
It sounds deep when you say it, Nazuna-dono.
Or at least, I feel that way.
Well, it's like a sort of purification ceremony.
How did you spend your New Year's Eve back home?
I always stayed home with my family.
This is my first year spending the day like this.
Me too.
As for me, none of my family will even be on Earth the moment the new year hits.
What?!
Because they jump when the date changes, right?
I did that in elementary school.
I see!
But the entire family?
Look at me!
I'm holding up the Earth!
Whoa!
I hope these make it to their destinations safely.
Nazuna!
Wait for me!
It's snowing!
Hey, it is!
Oh!
It's the landlady!
Oh, you're all together out here!
Hello!
Perfect timing. I was about to come see you.
Here are some soba noodles for tonight!
Yay!
Year-end soba, huh?
Thank you so much!
You're ringing in the new year at Hidamari Apartments, right?
We are!
Oh!
Landlady!
Thank you for putting up with us over the past year.
What are you saying?
Thank you for your patronage.
I hope to have you at my apartments for another year.
I guess you'll be staying up late tonight, but don't make it a habit!
Got it!
Happy New Year!
Sae-san and Hiro-san are back!
Remember to act tense!
Whoa, we're really doing that?
We're back!
Hi there.
We're done!
Is everyone here?
Huh?
Did you get into a fight or something?
You can tell us if there's something wrong.
We just made them worry about us more!
I told you it was a bad idea!
Serving year-end soba!
Oh!
Landlady gave us noodles.
Thanks!
It looks delicious!
Huh?
The chopsticks dropped out.
Nazuna-chan, be careful what you say!
Oh, I'm sorry!
Let's eat!
We made a lot, so feel free to ask for more!
Okay!
They say that you'll have bad luck with money if you don't finish your year-end soba before the new year.
Slurp
Thanks for the food!
Now we just have to wait for the new year.
Oh yeah, everyone's starting their year off here this time, huh?
Nori, Nazuna, you've already been back home, right?
Yes.
We both came back right after Christmas.
We heard you don't have senior study sessions for the first three days of the New Year,
so we thought we should spend them together.
The chili peppers we put in the soba are getting to me now.
This late?
Oh, excuse me.
Hello?
Oh, Yuno?
I was wondering how you're doing.
Dad? We just finished eating year-end soba.
What's up?
Well, it's not me,
but Nyanta was feeling sad that you didn't come home this year.
Nyanta?
Come on, Nyanta!
Meow!
Hear that? He's been howling all day.
Honey!
Why are you calling Yuno?
Yunocchi, what's wrong?
It was from Nyanta.
Clang!
I can hear the New Year's Eve bell!
Yeah, the year's finally coming to an end.
It's still snowing.
I wonder if the snow will pile up.
What? That'd mean I might slip on ice.
You don't have to worry about us too much.
Yeah, that'd just bother us.
They're sound asleep.
They must've been tired from all the studying.
Let's not wake them up.
Ten, nine...
Oh, the year's about to change!
Eight, seven...
Six, five, four...
Three, two, one...
Happy New Year!
There are quite a few people here!
Wow!
It's so lively!
It's my first time visiting the shrine for New Year's while it's still dark out.
Me too!
Wait!
Yuno-san, you're holding that like you've had it forever!
When did you buy that?!
This Dharma doll?
A few minutes ago!
Our eyes just met.
You haven't even filled in an eye yet!
What about the fortune slips?
Let's draw them once everybody's here.
Nazuna, this way!
Yeah!
You done?
Yeah!
All right, looks good.

Oh, it's Hiro-san!
Hello? Hiro-san?
Yuno-san? Where are you right now?
We're at the shrine.
I see!
I was getting worried.
Jeez, you shouldn't have left us behind!
Oh, s-sorry!
You were both sound asleep.
I wasn't being serious.
Do you mind if we join you?
Of course not! We'll be waiting.
Did Sae-san and Hiro-san wake up?
Yeah!
They'll be here soon.
They're giving out zenzai red bean soup over there!
Oh, that's nice.
Should we get some too?
Yes!
It's so warm!
It smells nice.
I'm digging in!
It's so sweet!
It makes me warm.
Sweet red bean soup
This is splendid!
That's also "zenzai," isn't it?
Sweet red bean soup
Sweet sake
Is it?
When you write "zenzai" in kanji,
Ze
Zen
Zenza
Zenzai
it can also be read as "yokikana," or "splendid."
Splendid
Zenzai

Zenzai
Splendid
You're so knowledgeable!
Nah, I just saw it on TV yesterday.
This zenzai is delicious!
This is splendid!
This is splendid indeed!
It's beautiful!
You never get tired of watching fire.
I just noticed it stopped snowing.
It didn't really pile up.
Thanks for waiting.
Sae-san, Hiro-san!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year.
Did you rest well?
Thanks to you.
Thanks, guys.
It's so warm!
We're done with the shrine visit.
You can get some zenzai over there.
Should we do the shrine visit too?
Yeah.
Sae, what did you wish for?
Well, college, among other things.
What about you?
It's a secret!
What? That's no fair!
Where should we hang ours?
Let's hang them alongside everyone else's.
Oh yeah.
Did you get wish plaques?
Where are yours?
Where did we hang ours again?
They already got lost behind the others.
Yeah.
Accept!!
Miyako
I wish Sae- san and Hiro-san's college entrance exams go well.
Nazuna
I wish Sae-san and Hiro-san get accepted into the colleges.
Yuno
I wish Sae-san and Hiro-san get into the colleges they want.
Nori
Let's open them on the count of two.
I'm so nervous!
I got "great blessing" last year.
One, two...
Open
Oh, I got future blessing.
Number Thirty-seven
Future Blessing
"As you gradually approach a time of good luck, your wishes shall come true," it says.
I got middle blessing.
"Study hard without worrying too much," is what mine says.
That's a relief.
Yeah!
I drew future blessing too.
Number Five
Future Blessing
It says I'll safely deliver my baby.
I have small blessing.
Number Nineteen
Small Blessing
Tada!
Super blessing!
Super blessing?!
Number Ninety-nine
Super Blessing
I've never seen one of these before!
Miya-chan, you got super blessing again this year?
You always have such good luck.
How about you, Yuno?
Yunocchi?
Number Thirty-nine
Great Curse
I-I drew great curse.
Yuno-san, don't get depressed.
Yeah, Yuno.
Great curse means, "No more fortune will escape you."
Something along the lines of, "It will only get better."
Really?
Great curse is pretty rare.
Yunocchi, you won a rare item!
Yuno-san, cheer up!
So, Yuno, let's go tie that up on the sacred tree so the god will help us.
Okay.
I wish for things to go well.
Yunocchi, it'll be all right!
Weep, weep, weep...
weep
This voice is...
weep
Yoshinoya-sensei!
Oh, hi everyone! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year.
What happened, Sensei?
First tears of the year?
Yes.
I drew curse again this year.
Oh my.
Number Twenty-eight
Curse
Sensei!
It was worse for me. I drew great curse!
Oh, you got curse too?
We're so out of luck.
Good things happen if you tie it with your tongue, right?
Huh?
That's not right!
Sae, good luck
Acceptance
Wish
Sae, good luck
Sae!
I hope I get into college all right
Hiro
I'll get accepted for sure!!
Sae
She's here.
Huh? That wish plaque looks like it was just hung.
She might still be around.
Huh?
We'll be over there having some zenzai,
so why don't you go look for her?
I-It's all right.
I'm here with you guys.
Go find her!
You might get to wish her a happy new year!
I-If you insist, I'll take a walk around the shrine and look.
Huh?
Hey, Yuno-chan!
Oh, Landlady!
Happy New Year!
Oh, Happy New Year.
Landlady, Happy New Year!
Oh, if it isn't Sensei!
Thanks for taking care of these kids all the time.
Please keep teaching and guiding them well this year!
Of course!
You're drunk, aren't you?
Well...
I was invited to a year-end mahjong game.
I got all the good chips. This will be a great year!
Chips?
You can look at the year's first sunrise from here.
Since we're here anyway, why don't we stay and watch?
Yeah.
Sae!
Oh, Natsume!
F-Fancy seeing you here.
Yeah.
H-Happy New Year.
Happy New Year!
Let's have another great year.
Y-Yeah, let's.
Do you want to watch the first sunrise of the year with us?
Yeah!
Natsume-san!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year.
It has begun.
Principal?!
It's a sacred daybreak that happens only once a year.
There's a proverb that goes, "New Year's Day is the key to the year."
It means the beginning is important for anything.
Got it!
Third-years!
You won't get to be high school girls for much longer!
Make sure you don't leave any regrets behind!
Okay.
I'll get back to my other friends.
See you, Natsume-san.
Natsume, let's both do our best to get into college.
Yeah!
I-I didn't need to be told that!
See you!
All right.
I should go attend New Year's parties.
Right now?
You're so tireless.
Sure I am!
And Yunocchi... Are you getting sleepy now?
Yeah, a bit.
You've been up all night, right?
Then let's go back and get some sleep.
Nazuna, your mouth's so big.
Nori-chan!
Then let's eat zouni mochi soup after some sleep.
Oh yeah, I want three mochis!
Got it.
Okay, see you all in a bit.
Sleep tight!
It's my first bath of the year!
Happy New Year!
I'll finally become a third-year this year.
That means I'll be applying to colleges.
I should figure out what I want to do like Sae-san and Hiro-san.
Sometimes I get worried or feel depressed,
but there are people who help me get over it,
people who are there for me at Hidamari Apartments.
So I'm sure I'll be all right.
I hope this will be a great year for everybody!
December 31st - January 1st
The End
suikomaresou na gurai harebare shita asa no hi
The bright morning sun lifts my soul up to the sky
mezamashi no beru naru
When my alarm clock rings
furisosogu hikari ukete
Soaking in the sunshine
kokoro no kyoukaisen wo
I once again cross
saa kyou mo tobikoeyou
My mental boundaries
hikoukigumo sora ni mau
With vapor trails behind me
egaiteru tabi no tochuu
I find myself in the middle of a journey
omoide wa tsuzuiteru
Carrying on memories in the sky
machiawase wa mada saki e
I'm still a long way from you
mada mada mienai mukou
We'll meet far beyond the horizon
ruuru wa nai
No rules here
jiyuu ni hanatsu kyanbasu
I can let it all out on this canvas
kokoro to karada no baransu
The balance between mind and body
tenbin no ue de yureru
Keeps shifting between the two
atarashii aozora de donna yume wo miru
I can dream of anything in a clean blue sky
ima no kono basho wa
From where I am at present
mirai e tsunagaru kara
I should be able to find a way to the future
sagashiteru yumegumo
And so I continue searching for my dream cloud
doko ni aru no kana
I wonder where it could be
