Outside of the window...
I look up towards the blue sky...
Yunocchi should be back soon.
Wasshoi! Washoshoi!
Question, question, question, question, question mark
Lazing, lazing, lazing, lazing, lazing about
What should we do?
For now, let's just yell "Wasshoi!"
Wasshoi! Washoshoi!
Wa! Shoi!
Wasshoi! Washoshoi!
Even an absurd response
Is sensible for someone from Jupiter
Launch a rocket at random
And approach the place where it lands
After a pleasant nap
Sure enough, sure enough, my eyes tear when I yawn
Good morning
Let's play!
Let's have a serious bread-eating race
Wasshoi! Washoshoi!
Who, who, who, who, who is it?
Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry person
Girls live off snacks
Wasshoi! Washoshoi! Rolling, rolling, rolling, golfing around
Lazing, lazing, lazing, lazing, lazing about
Let's look up at the sun
Wasshoi! Wasshoi!
In a dream, in a dream with everyone Wasshoi! Wasshoi!
I had the same conversation
Question mark and wasshoi 365
Wasshoi! Washoshoi!
January 10 Welcome Back... Ms. Ume
I'm back.
It really feels good to go home.
This place really is home to me as well.
There's a familiar nameplate.
I wonder if the Christmas tree is still up?
It's being reused?
Wow, there's a lot.
Welcome back, Yuno.
I'm back, Miya-chan.
Happy New Year, I hope to see you around.
How did it feel to go back home?
I was really happy to see my parents for the first time in a while.
That's good.
Everyone told me I got bigger.
Let's go in, it's cold.
I wonder if it's cold indoors too?
Sorry, this isn't much different from outside, is it?
It's all right.
I don't turn on the heater during the daytime.
What a rugged lifestyle.
I was fine at home, but it's colder here.
Here you go.
Thank you.
When did you get back, Miya-chan?
Early this morning, Sae and Hiro are back too.
I was the last one.
I can feel it warming me up from the inside!
Did that warm you up?
Seconds!
Happy New Year!
I got lots of New Year's cards!
Oh, here's one from Yamaguchi.
Oh, there's even one from Kiyomi.
I got some too.
It's a lot of trouble to write them, but it sure feels good to receive them.
Yeah...
I only write back to the people who send me cards though.
Really?
Say, Yunocchi, did you bring anything from home?
Yeah, I brought mochi, and other things, like tsukudani.
I did too.
It was all food, so my bag was incredibly heavy.
I've got to visit Hiro and Sae later.
I have souvenirs for them.
I'll go too!
Then, let's go together.
All right!
Sae!
Snooze... Sae!
Snooze...
Hiro!
Snooze... Hiro!
Snooze... Miya-chan, what time is it right now?
Snooze... I think it's about 2 PM.
Happy New Year.
U-Umm, good mor... I mean, Happy New Year.
Sorry for waking you up.
Happy New Year, Hiro.
Happy New Year, Sae.
I hope to see you around this year.
Happy New Year.
Going back home really disrupts my daily rhythm.
You end up letting others do all the household chores.
When did you get back?
I came back yesterday, about the same time as Hiro.
Yeah...
You two took your time.
Yeah, we let ourselves go.
I let myself go too much.
I ate food, went into the kotatsu and chatted while watching the TV.
Now's not the time to be sleeping.
I've got to walk to burn off calories.
Then, let's take a walk together.
Let's make our first shrine visit of the year.
I want to go too. I want to buy milk.
The first shrine visit of the year?
That sounds good, let's go together.
If I'm not mistaken, Ms. Yoshinoya's place is around here.
Sae Ryoko Shintani If I'm not mistaken, Ms. Yoshinoya's place is around here.
Yoshinoya
Since we're here, want to say hello?
I don't mind.
Well, then... Ding dong!
Creeeeak
Ms. Yoshinoya?
Relieved Ms. Yoshinoya?
Relieved Oh, it's just you, sorry.
My younger relatives have been pestering me for New Year's gifts over the break.
I was on my guard.
I'm still young enough to be receiving them.
How rude of them! Don't you agree?
Come on in!
I can't really entertain you though.
Is that all right?
I'm coming in!
Is your family home?
They're going shopping right now.
You don't need to worry about them.
This situation...

Princess?
Well, once again...
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year.
I hope to see you around this year.
Yes, I hope to see you around this year too.
You all went home, didn't you?
Did you make your first shrine visit of the year?
We still haven't yet.
We're on our way there right now.
Care to come with us?
Oh my! Thank you very much.
In that case, excuse me for a second.
Please wait for me while I get changed.
Okay!
Thank you for waiting. Okay!
Thank you for waiting.
That was quick!
Happy New Year.
It isn't very crowded anymore, is it?
Yeah...
That's cold!
There's a formal way to do this.
Did you know that?
Was it right, then left? Did you know that?
Was it right, then left?
Happy New Year, Yokozuna.
Yokozuna?
No!
Jeez!
Wait, Hiro! Jeez!
Wait, Hiro!
Do all of you know what to do when you visit a shrine?
Here I go!
I mistook a 50 yen coin for a 5 yen coin!
I'm sure you'll get good luck.

This is Miyako of Midori City, Asagi-cho 4-16, Hidamari Apartments, Room 202.
Wh-What are you saying, Miya-chan?
The gods will have a hard time granting my wish, if I don't tell them my address.
Oh?
She's got to be kidding.
Now that we're done with our visit, what should we do next?
Draw our fortunes, of course.
I hope my luck this year is "lucky" or "very lucky."
I'm looking forward to it.
Which should I choose?
Sae...
I'm getting nervous.
Super Lucky You are amazing!
Yuno, take a look at this godly pick.
That's incredible!
I got "lucky."
Let's see...
"You will receive unexpected help."
"Surprising things will happen, but if you don't panic, you'll get your wish."
I guess it's telling me not to be anxious.
I'm more curious about the "unexpected help."
Who could it talking about?
Wouldn't that be you?
I'm not unexpected.
It's probably someone more unlikely.
For example, the person who gave you that fan letter.
I see, that would be unexpected.
That really made me happy.
It was my first fan letter.
I think about it even now.
I was really happy.
It let me know that people are reading the stories I write.
That's good.
He was pretty ardent.
He's been watching you ever since you made your debut.
How romantic.
I feel kind of impressed when I think about how my message has reached a stranger.
I really felt like I needed to try my best.
It helped me a lot.
Wow, my fortune is "very lucky."
Nice.
Let's see...
Misfortune Let's see...

It will be all right if I tie it into a knot in my mouth, right?
No!
I did it!
Do all of you have your things?
Please help me to be honest with my feelings this year!
Huh? Natsume?
Hiro's place is the most relaxing.
As thanks, I wish you a Happy New Year once again.
Miya-chan, how many times have you said that?
New Year's greetings sound great no matter how many times I hear them.
They have a festive feeling to them.
Then once more! Happy New Year!
That's enough!
Come to think of it, you stayed here until the year was almost over.
Yeah, I ended up going home on the 30th.
It was rough since the bullet train was packed!
I already had a ticket, so I went home on the 26th.
But I was worried about you for three days after that.
Oh, sorry.
I can't remember what I ate.
Even though I went home, Chika had cram school until the end of the year.
For me, the New Year started on the 2nd,
so I wasn't really in the mood to celebrate the new year.
The time before entrance exams is most important.
Yeah, she may not act it, but she seemed oddly tense.
When I try not to say anything that will offend her, I end up doing it anyway.
Slip! Fall! Sink!
Miya-chan!
I'm sorry!
She gets angry at every little thing.
When I see her, I can't resist teasing her!
That sounds tough.
Yeah...
Even though everyone thinks that asking her if she's all right
or telling her to try her best puts pressure on her,
everyone ends up saying it anyway.
What did all of you do for New Year's?
I was always eating something.
That sounds like you.
Sea bream, flounder, tuna, crab, shrimp, teriyaki yellowtail, osechi and ozoni.
That sounds like Ryugu Palace.
My family only goes all out for occasions like this.
I really stuffed myself.
I'm jealous that you don't have to worry about your weight.
You should have wished to have that solved when we visited the shrine.
Well...
What did all of you wish for?
I wanted to be able to have my fill of rice for the whole year.
I... Umm...
I wanted everyone to remain healthy and I wanted to become better at drawing.
That sounds like you.
Miya-chan's also sounds typical.
What did you two wish for?
Mine was about work.
I...
I really can't say!
Huh? What's wrong?
Is it that serious?
No, that's not it.
Tell us, Hiro, it will make you feel better.
Umm, you don't have to tell us.
It's exactly what you're thinking.
I wished to be able to diet successfully this year.
Come to think of it, I wished the same thing last year.
I'm embarrassed thinking about it.
Is that all?
There's no need to talk about it like that.
I was serious.
My willpower is just weak.
That's not true.
I'm sure the gods felt that you didn't need to go on a diet.
Thank you, Yuno, I'll try my best.
O-Okay!
On a side note, what do you suppose Ms. Yoshinoya wished for?
She's really unpredictable.
"I wish to be spared the principal's anger this year."
"First, you need to repent your actions."
Natsume also came.
She left in a hurry though.
I just don't understand her.
Natsume! Happy New Year!
Are you making your first shrine visit of the year only now?
O-Oh, Happy New Year.
I just came with someone else.
Why have you come this late?
Was there something you wanted to wish for?
Wish?
Well, we ended up coming with Yosshi.
Yosshi?
Oh...
By the way, what were you wishing so fervently for?
Nothing special, things related to work and my sister.
What about you?
Me?
I...
I wished for world peace and the prosperity of the human race!
That's pretty grand. I never knew you thought about things like that.
I hope you get your wish.
Huh?
I said, I hope you get your wish.
N-No, you've got the wrong idea.
See you later!
Thank you, I hope to see you around this year.
I hope to see you around.
Natsume was acting kind of strange today.
What sort of relationship does Natsume Sempai have with you, Sae?
She seemed hostile to you on field day, but I think she wants to be your friend.
What do you think, Hiro?
Huh? Me? Well, why not?
Yeah...
Yeah... And?
And?
I don't hate her.
Me neither.
I think I ate too many tangerines over winter break.
Me too. You just can't help it when they're placed out.
You complain that there are only tangerines in the house, but still eat them.
We got a lot of them every day from the landlady.
We sure met a lot of people today.
I think this is the first time I've ever seen the landlady so happy.
I couldn't tell who she was at first!
Yeah!
Sorry, I absolutely must get this milk.
Huh? Is that the landlady?
What?!
She's wearing a kimono! What?!
She's wearing a kimono!
Hey! Long time no see!
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year. I see you're back already.
Yes, we start school tomorrow.
That's good.
This? I don't usually dress up like this.
Does it look strange?
It's very wonderful.
Yeah!
All right, I'm going to give you a reward!
Wow, Ehime tangerines.
I wish you a happy New Year.
I was invited to a New Year's party today.
I got that as a gift.
And now, I'm going to another New Year's party.
Take care and study hard!
If you do, you'll have a lot of fun when you're an adult!
See you later!
She seems so happy.
She seems to be in high spirits.
Miya-chan, want to take these?
I'm grateful, but I have boxes of them at home.
I'm from a tangerine-producing region after all.
Well, I'm going to put them away.
Growl...
Care to have dinner?
Or would you like some ozoni?
Dinner!
I have mentaiko, so I think dinner is good.
U-Umm...
Care to eat in my room?
I have souvenirs for all of you.
All right, let's go to Yunocchi's room!
Whoa...
It looks like a produce fair.
Mentaiko, pumpkin, sandfish and pickled vegetables from all over.
I thought that I should display all of your souvenirs.
This is pretty fun.
Ozoni differs from region to region, doesn't it?
The one we make at my place uses a clear broth and has chicken in it.
It's probably similar to the ones in Tokyo.
The one we make at my place is soy sauce flavored
and has vegetables and burdock root in it.
It's delicious.
The one we make at my place
uses a clear broth and has chicken, ginko nuts and fish cakes in it.
The one we make at my place is soy sauce flavored
and has various vegetables and white meat in it.
I felt really relieved to eat it at home.
It tastes like home cooking.
Your parents didn't really want to let you leave.
Did they make a lot of good food for you?
Yeah, I told them they didn't have to, but they kept getting me to try things.
Yeah, they do it even though you tell them you're stuffed.
Still, it's nice.
Yeah!
I really feel like I'm back at Hidamari Apartments.
We're starting school tomorrow, huh?
What do all of you plan to do this semester?
The same as usual, I suppose.
Try to be successful in my work and studies.
What about you, Yuno?
I want to study art more and expand my expertise.
I want to build up my stamina!
I want to develop a strong mind and body that won't give in to anything!
Miyako, you don't have to work on that anymore.
What about you, Hiro?
Well, I suppose I want to work harder to become my ideal self.
Both of you sure are amazing!
Not really, we're still working at it.
Hiro, how many more kilos until you reach your perfect self?
Jeez!
I should get going. I have to prepare for tomorrow.
Well, everyone, have a good year... I mean, have a goodnight!
See you later!
Goodnight!
See you!
What is it?
What's wrong?
Yuno?
I'm back.
Welcome home.
Hidamari Apartments really is wonderful.

An unknown world stretched out
Connecting, endless connecting threads
An upside down world is pretty fun
Connecting, never-ending threads
You are smiling somewhere today
I will run all night until the day we meet again
Run all night
The record of a resounding shooting star
Your singing voice
Touches my heart
A sky full of shooting stars
The record of a shining shooting star
Your whispering voice
Leads me through space
A song about shooting stars
I can't hear them
I can't reach them
The footsteps I'm looking for

Preview What's the best way to make use of a holiday?
Preview Why is it on her behalf?
Preview Miya-chan, I never told you to ask that!
Preview Probably study, right?
