Oh, right, aren't you two childhood friends?
That's right!
We've been lovey-dovey since forever!
So it's been ten years, huh?
We're the Hanabatakes. We just moved here today.
10 Years Ago
We're the Akutsus. It's a pleasure to meet you.
I'm Hanabatake Yoshiko! I'm four!
Yoshiko, you're five now.
Are you serious?! What's "five" mean?!
After "four" comes "five." Remember?
Who decided that?
God.
God?! He sounds cool!
Weirdo.
So?!
Who are you?
A-Akutsu Akuru.
A-kun, huh?
Okay! Let's play!
No thanks. I'm going to go study.
Oh, I see.
So, what'cha wanna play?!
Were you listening?
I'll just try to stay away from her.
How the heck did you get in here?!
I jumped from my window!
Are you serious?
So, what'cha wanna play?!
I said I was gonna study!
What's "study"? Is it fun?
Uh, no, it's not fun.
Huh? Then why do you do it?
For my future.
You gotta live in the moment!
Dunno why, but that pisses me off!
I'm hungry.
Gimme something yummy!
Impudent little...
Eat it and leave!
What's that?!
A yellow wee-wee?
It's a banana!
I'mma eat the yellow wee-wee!
Listen to me, would you?!
Yum!
How is it so yummy?!
My God, it's yummy! Nothing's yummier than this!
It's that good?!
Banana yummy!
Freak.
I never dreamed you'd give me something so yummy.
You must really love me!
What?!
Trying to win me over with food? You precocious child, you.
Wh-What are you talking about?
Well, I guess...
you've got a cute face, at least.
S-Stay away!
I'll accept your love!
I don't even like you!
No need to be shy!
I'm not being shy!
You're so cute!
You're a freak!
Sh-She'll never find me here.
Found you.
Ow...
Aww, could you be any more shy?
I love you, too, A-kun.
S-Stay away.
Hey, what are you—
No. Stop!
N-No... Stop!
Anything but that!
I'll let you marry me when we grow u—
Never show your face in front of me again if you don't want to get hurt!
30 Minutes Later
Let's play!
It was when I met this idiot that I first really felt emotion in my heart.
A-A-kun-san...
Hey, hey, A-kun, A-kun!
Let's play!
Shut up!
I'm trying to study here!
Don't you wanna play with me because you love me?
I told you, I hate your guts!
After you gave me that hot, steamy, passionate kiss?
You forced it on me!
That weak punch is too slow for me!
Come on, let's play!
Let go of me!
Yahoo!
At this rate...
Yum!
Don't come over for dinner!
What a cute wee-wee!
Quit peeping at me!
That's my futon...
At this rate, she's going to ruin my life!
I'll beat her...
I have to beat her!
I'll take it back.
My peaceful life.
I'll get ripped from the core out...
Get strong...
And...
And then I'll...
I'll beat her!
I can do this.
With this fist, I can take her down for good.
J-Just you watch...
Huh?
A-kun, let's play!
A-kun?
I can't... move...
That was you?!
Oh, are you all better now?
Huh?
You caught a cold and slept for a whole day.
That long?
Yoshiko-chan looked after you the whole time.
What?! No way!
Did she, seriously?
Maybe she isn't so bad.
But this idiot could look after me?
Yeah! And it was so cute!
She was like, "If I catch his cold, he'll get better!"
She kissed you all night long!
Oh, A-kun, you're better now?
It must have been the power of our love.
Taste...
the power of my fist!
Hit her, damn you!
If there's one good thing that came of meeting her,
it's that I met you.
I'm gonna ruin you today!
Die!
Weak!
Let's play all day again today!
Let go of me!
I-I'm home.
Welcome back.
Oh, your gifted program test scores came back.
Huh? Oh.
Akutsu Akuru
You didn't do too well this time,
but I think going outside and playing with Yoshiko-chan is healthier for you.
O-Oh, no...
Akuru?
If she keeps abducting me, my grades will keep falling,
Akuru?!
and I won't get into a good college or a good job,
and my life will be ruined!
And in the worst case...
She's going to force me to marry her!
They're your kids!
I have to do something.
But I'm too weak to even graze her.
Damn it!
Why does she keep bugging me in the first place?!
Because I love you!
Wh-What are you doing here?!
I heard you calling for me!
As if!
"I love you," nothing!
Oh, I've got it!
I just need to get her to hate me!
Hey, what kind of people do you hate?
Huh?
Are there any kinds of people you don't want to go near?
People I don't want to go near?
Like someone covered in poop?
A-Any others?
I don't wanna go near perverts.
As a woman, I have to hate them.
Perverts, huh?
I see.
So that's it.
Then I'll be a total pervert to you!
What are you doing?!
A-kun, you pervert!
Hey, I'm still only five.
No one will make a big deal of this.
Well, my parents might look at me differently,
but if it means she'll hate me, that's a small price to pay!
Come on! Show me more!
No! What's gotten into you, A-kun?!
Nothing's gotten into me! I love doing stuff like this!
Come on! Show me more!
No!
Now, show me your panties!
D-Did I go too far?
I'm sorry, A-kun.
I get it now.
Wh-What are you apologizing for?
Because... Because...
It's only natural you'd want to get perverted
with a super cute girl that you play with every day!
I understand!
It's my fault for making you hold back!
It's not your fault!
Wh-What are you talking about?
Didn't you hate perverts?!
It's unavoidable when two people love each other!
I just wasn't ready for it yet!
But I'll...
I'll put up with it!
Here! You wanted to see my panties!
Take them!
A-kun!
Take responsibility, okay?
Well, I have to say...
My feelings for Yoshiko...
haven't changed in these ten years.
His smile scares me...
Oh, no! I nearly forgot!
You see, today I'm...
wearing the same panties as the day A-kun gave in to his desires and attacked me!
The same ones? From when you were five?
It's embarrassing for me, but I'll show you anyway!
Now look,
A-kun!
The panties from our memories!
Let's play like we did when we were kids!
Now look! Look! Come on, look! Come on!
Yeah... I'll hit you like I used to.
Come on! Come on! Look! Come on! Come on!
Bring it on!
My feelings haven't changed in all these years.
I still want to kill you!
See you.
