To the sea...
And the mountains...
The students are off having fun.
And their teacher is too!
I get 40 days off, and I even get paid for them.
You might think that the teaching profession makes for an easy life.
Well, that's not the case!
Summer Class
Mika Suzuki, language teacher, has given up her summer vacation...
...and is devoting herself to summer classes.
It's okay. I don't mind giving up my summer break...
...for my beloved students.
Suetake
Suetake is so cool.
Hey, Kudo...
How about paying some attention?
I am, Sensei!
Maybe you don't have to stare quite so hard at me, Kitagawa.
Huh?
You're working hard, Kobayashi.
I'm impressed.
What is that?
Shopping List A shopping list for the summer!
Shopping List Huh?
I'm going to work really hard so I can get all this stuff!
Maybe not all of it, with your job.
Well, maybe I'm dreaming a little.
But you should definitely buy the Prada bag.
Why's that?
Because I want to borrow it.
One rental for 10,000 yen, okay?
You guys...
Unless you pass the exam at the end of the summer break...
... I'm going to get in trouble with the second year dean!
No reason to get so upset, Mika-Sensei!
Even if we pay you no attention...
...at least Kitagawa and I will score well on the exam!
And Mika-Sensei's evaluations will go up, too!
Yay!
Does that mean my lectures don't matter?
Aww, she's depressed again.
I'm sorry. I just told the truth.
Romantic I'm sorry. I just told the truth.
Romantic
She's so cute when she's depressed.
Episode 4: Mika-Sensei's Summer Story
Another day...
No summer class today
Fwoosh
I was planning on 40 days of summer vacation.
Come on! You're in the way!
I said you're in the way!
How long are you just going to lie around here?
Forever...
Good grief...
Come on. She's exhausted from her summer classes.
She's entitled to a break on her day off.
Dad, watermelon!
Sure!
You're just spoiling her.
Yummy!
You haven't grown up, have you?
You still have a baby's figure.
You can really tell when you're wearing light clothes.
You've got no chest...
...and your stomach sticks out.
Come on, Mom!
That's proof that I'm an adult!
My beer belly!
Cheers!
That's delicious!
There's nothing like beer in the summer?
That's right!
You make quite the pair.
Don't you want to do anything on your summer vacation?
Like go to the beach or the mountains or something?
It's so hot and I'll just get tired.
Hey, Mika.
I'm going out to buy some golf clubs. Want to come?
What?
I think you should go.
You're getting in my way lying around here like this.
I'll buy you anything you want!
It's okay. Seems like a hassle.
I see.
You sure are a lazy one.
Oh, this is so nice.
Stopped
What?!
Shopping Arcade
I can't believe the air conditioner broke down.
Shopping Arcade
It's pretty bad luck.
Thank you!
Huh?
Bye!
Kobayashi!
You really are working hard.
It's our day off today.
Well, I do have my goals.
If only you could focus some of that energy on your study.
It all comes down to what reward I can get.
If you bought me a Prada bag...
What?
Kobayashi sure is working hard.
Don't you want some designer accessories?
I'll buy you something.
Don't worry about it.
She's so considerate of her parents.
Nothing looks good on me, anyway.
L-Look at that!
Watabe!
Hi, Sensei...
Poster Colors
What's the matter?
Poster Colors You look pale as a ghost!
Poster Colors
I've been up five nights in a row working on my summer project.
Five nights?! Five nights?!
I started out drawing a fantasy strip about a girl with cat ears...
... but it morphed into a romantic comedy about a devil girl...
...and then I was drawing a witch flying through the air in an apron...
...and just as I thought the story was coming to an end...
... I knocked over the ink and all of my work went to waste.
Uh, I see...
Cat ears?
Devil girl?
And a witch?
Well, I'll be off.
Good luck!
Sensei!
Hey!
Books
So, you're catching up on some summer reading?
Books You could say that.
Books
What books did you buy?
Sa... What books did you buy?
Sa...
Well...
Books Well...
Books
Oh, I know! I bet you're reading up on your classics!
Books
No, actually...
Books ... it's a book on business management.
Books Oh, right. That sure is something you would read, Nakamura!
Books Cool.
I responded to meet her expectations in spite of the truth.
It's actually a science fiction book.
Books It's actually a science fiction book.
Books
Mika! Why are you talking to this man that way?!
Books It's disrespectful!
Books
I'm sorry. I'm Mika's father. Pleased to meet you.
Books Oh, you're her father? It's nice to meet you, too.
Books
Mika must be quite the handful.
Books
She doesn't have much experience, so I hope you'll cut her some slack.
Books
What do you mean?!
Books I'm the one who doesn't have any experience!
Her father seems like quite a humble man.
He seems like quite a humble teacher.
He's more senior than you, right?
Um...
He's a student.
Mola Cosmetics
Hi!
Like my fall makeup?
I'm not too sure how to answer a question like that.
I suppose I have a beauty that's difficult to express in words.
Well, that's not what I meant.
Times sure have changed.
I can't believe high school girls are wearing make-up these days.
He's a boy.
What?!
Is that a boy or a girl?
A student or a teacher?
It's Matsumoto-Sensei. We're the same age!
What?! You're the same age?!
Energy Drink
Bottles/Cans
Nice shot, Matsumoto-Sensei!
Oh! Mika-Sensei!
I didn't see you there!
Every year it gets harder to handle the heat and cold!
I know what you mean.
I'm so exhausted from this heat.
A short walk is enough to make me feel dizzy!
Indeed. If you're careless, age spots and wrinkles will be increased.
You're right.
You're absolutely right.
They really are the same age.
Department Store
Food Hall
This cold air is so refreshing!
Huh?
Dad?
Mika!
Over here!
Sample Corner
Huh?
Sample Corner This barbecue pork is really good!
Sample Corner
Try some!
These dumplings are tasty, too, Dad.
The dumplings are good, but so are these spring rolls!
But nothing's as good as grilled eel in summer!
But after you've had the eel, the thin noodles are refreshing!
I love thin noodles...
... but don't forget the thick ones!
And for dessert, there's tofu with sweet bean!
And crème caramel!
There's nothing like eating to get rid of the summer blues.
And now that we're done eating...
... how about some shopping?
Yukata Clothing
A yukata's perfect for summer.
A yukata, huh?
That's not a bad idea.
It'll hide my flat physique.
I like this obi sash with the goldfish design on it.
Come on. I'm not a kid anymore.
But it would be perfect on you.
You must be tired.
I can go just go to the golf store and look at the clubs on my own.
Okay!
I'll be waiting in the rest area.
Bathing Suits floor
I want him to wear this.
Suetake...
The pleasure of making him be whatever I wanted him to be.
I'd make him do that, and also that, plus that...
You'd even do that, would you?!
Are you thinking dirty thoughts again?
H-How did you know?
You have a one-track mind.
Yeah, I stay true to the one I love.
Rest Area
Attention, please: Mika Suzuki's father is looking for his little girl.
She's wearing a white T-shirt and checkered skirt...
...and looks like she's in elementary school.
Mika, I was so worried about you!
Lost Corner
I can't believe it. I'm so embarrassed.
Lost Corner I'm not a little kid any more!
Lost Corner
She'll always be my little girl.
Mika-Sensei is so cute.
Uh, yeah...
Summer Festival [back] Fried Noodles
Grilled Squid
Do you really think Mika-Sensei will come?
Summer classes are finally over, right?
I'm surprised she said "yes". She usually hates going out.
Kitagawa invited her.
So, what kind of trick did you pull?
That sounds bad.
I just told her that I'm really looking forward to seeing her...
... in the new semester, all fat from lying around all summer.
I see.
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Mika-Sensei! That yukata is so cute on you!
You think?
Yeah! It suits you perfectly! It's so cute!
My dad bought it for me.
I don't like the sash.
Huh? Is it the wrong color?
A gold fish would have been better. Like the ones little girls wear.
That would look good on Mika-Sensei.
Those sashes untie and unravel so easily.
You plan on untying it?
Easy to untie?!
Please, Suetake! Come in a yukata for me!
Hey!
- Gym clothes... - You're late!
Sorry, I was just really getting into practice!
Eww, you're all stinky.
Too bad, Kudo.
It's all a part of his simple charm.
Seki's the only one we're missing.
Sorry I'm late!
It took me so long to get ready.
Wow, Seki. That's quite the yukata.
Thank you.
No. I didn't mean it as a compliment.
I made it myself.
Seki's sunk to a new low.
T-Tominaga!
You look totally adorable!
That yukata is perfect on you!
It's a "Kenzo".
Lucky you.
Hey, maybe we could switch?
No.
Hey, Watabe.
You look better tonight.
Fresh You look better tonight.
I just turned in my manuscript.
And Iincho, you've gone for a totally classic yukata.
On TV, Koro once said that this was his favorite color!
That reminds me...
... I noticed recently...
...that when I laugh with my head turned 45 degrees to the right...
... I look exactly like Koro!
From now on, you can all call me the Koro of Okitsu High School!
I won't say it any more, so please stop!
I'm sorry.
My foot just started to move on its own.
Seki's such an idiot.
He should keep his mouth shut.
Hey, where's the old man?
He said he was too busy to make it.
Working again?
Work Site Working again?
Work Site
I'm sure that's it.
Work Site
A construction site.
Work Site
I'm sure he's at a construction site.
Construction I'm sure he's at a construction site.
Construction
Nakamura sure must have it tough.
I didn't know how to tell them.
It's not my style to tell everyone that I'm off to a tropical island.
Come to think of it, I'm surprised that you're actually in Japan.
I was getting tired of going abroad with my parents every year.
I decided on something different.
Envy I decided on something different.
Envy Wow!
Envy
You usually go away every summer?
Well, Tominaga is a princess.
She's a princess!
Oh, so you're a princess.
You better believe it!
Princess
What crowds!
It would be terrible if you got lost again.
I know! Give her a balloon so we can always spot her!
How about we tie a bunch to her sash?
What are you guys doing to me?!
This is my chance!
I thought you were Mika-Sensei!
Sometimes you can be such a goof, Kudo.
Sorry!
You did it intentionally, so why weasel out of it?
You're so spineless man.
She's floating!
Just kidding!
Get me down!
Goldfish Scoop Get me down!
Goldfish Scoop
Goldfish scooping, huh? It's been so long!
Goldfish Scoop Let's do it!
Huh?
You're really good, Iincho!
That's ten for me.
7 fish/10 fish/6 fish That's ten for me.
7 fish/10 fish/6 fish And I've got six.
Mika-Sensei?
Huh?
Mika-Sensei's not very coordinated.
I feel sorry for her.
I'm not giving up!
Give me another one!
Mika-Sensei sure hates to lose, doesn't she?
She's so adorable when she gets intense!
Romantic She's so adorable when she gets intense!
It got away!
You're lousy at this, Suetake.
Like this.
Oh, I get it now!
I touched him again!
I'm never going to wash this hand again!
Must've been a goldfish.
You're cruel...
Do you want to play the pastry cutting game?
I don't think so.
I'll just get carried way and spend too much money.
I suppose.
Then you should avoid it.
I'll play!
You will?!
Water Balloon Scoop
Aren't you going play, Sensei?
I decided not to.
So you're going to run away with your tail curled between your legs.
I'll do it!
Again?!
Do you want some?
You're just like a little girl!
No, that's not it! I just thought I'd buy some for everyone!
Don't worry about it.
Didn't you already spend all your money?
Well, this a present from me.
Yay! Lucky me!
What am I doing?
It's embarrassing to even be watching this.
Shooting Range It's embarrassing to even be watching this.
Shooting Range
Koro Figurine
Iincho, if you want that Koro doll, I can get it for you.
Oh, I'm sorry. My shoes seem to have a mind of their own.
Why'd she do that?
You idiot.
Anyone who points a weapon at Koro is an enemy.
Got it!
A woman's heart sure is complicated.
Woman's Heart A woman's heart sure is complicated.
Woman's Heart
I've got a lot more studying to do.
Woman's Heart
For what?
Why are you shooting at me?!
You're so mean!
But I'm was supposed to aim at what I want, right?
Huh?
That must mean you're mine now.
D-Does this mean that Suetake wants me?
At least try to dodge them.
You're awfully slow, Kudo.
What're you talking about?! I know exactly how you feel!
Why, you!
Catch me if you can!
Fireworks Display
Maybe around here...
No, maybe over there.
What's he running around for?
He's scouting out the best spot to see the front of the fireworks.
It's the same at whatever angle you look at it from.
Huh? Is that right?
Suetake's thinking is so two-dimensional.
I don't think you're one to talk.
Why? I want to know why.
Well, let me explain what fireworks are.
Oh, Suetake is so stupid...
Hey! Come on over here!
But his stupidity makes him so cute.
You're an idiot, too.
Amazing!
It's wild!
Pretty incredible!
Beautiful...
Sure is.
Suetake looks so cool.
Mika-Sensei looks so cute.
I'm so beautiful...
Hey, guys, why don't you just watch fireworks?
Tamaya!
Kagiya!
Huh? What's that?
The names of famous fireworks makers from the Edo Period.
Oh...
Clink
Tamaya!
Huh? What was that?
Don't pay any attention to these idiots.
It's good to get away from school and just have fun with you guys!
It's like I'm hanging out with my friends!
Sure does!
Having fun, Sensei?
I sure am!
That's good.
I'm so glad you're enjoying this.
Huh?
We wanted you to come watch the fireworks with us.
To remember a wonderful summer by.
Kitagawa...
If you'd just stayed at home...
...there'd be nothing to show for the summer!
You guys...
Look! It's the finale!
That special time I spent with my students made me feel like a child.
It was like huge fireworks lighting up my heart.
It was a wonderful summer's night...
