President Amane sure is late...
Nanako. Act somethin' out and I'll guess what it is.
Got it! A roller coaster!
Alright!
Hold on! Are we gonna ignore that crazy wind just now?!
Gentle words
Soft feelings
Precious memories
They're dyed with love
When I'm with you, even getting caught in the rain turns into something new
What words can I string together
To keep this color from fading away?
I know
What the two of us will become on that far-off day
Isn't that right, God?
Waiting for the train, the water droplets beading up
I really wish this moment
Could somehow last forever
Is that too much to ask?
Poem 3: Let's Go to the Amusement Park
Hmm...
Theme
Roller coasters don't scare you, Nanako?
Actually, I love
All kinds of different thrill rides.
They're a ton of fun!
I see...
I'm guessing that you
Get a little motion sick
On those kinds of rides?
Wh-what are you talkin' about?
I'm a MAN! I ain't so soft that I'd let some dumb ride make me sick!
MANLY MAN
But just the other day...
you had to kneel down on the train because you got so nauseous.
D-don't sell me out like that!
You good?
Aside from that... What's the theme for today, President?
Let's go with... "Amusement Park Memories."
THEME "Amusement Park
Memories"
Go ahead and give it a whirl.
Right!
Kids can't stand waiting
In all the long lines, so they
Start throwing tantrums
So true!
When you're young, it's hard to be patient. You whine 'til you tire yourself out,
and then you just pass out on the spot, y'know?
At least wake up for the ride!
Kids also tend to
Get upset and throw tantrums
When it's time to leave
I'd love to see little Nanako-chan making a big fuss.
What were your tantrums like?
I broke my shoelace!
I can't walk all the way home!
We have to stay here!
Oh my gosh, that's so cute!
So, what'd your parents do?
Now, now. If you keep this up, you might get left behind.
Like your papa.
He's having his own freak-out!
Okay, you're up next, President.
Huh? It's kinda embarrassing, but...
Though unrequited,
Spending time with my love was
Like a dream come true
Talk about bittersweet!
Was he a looker?
Oh yeah, he was totally hot.
We were paired up together during our middle school field trip, you see.
I was so nervous that I couldn't even bring myself to talk to him.
Wha-?! Why isn't he wearing clothes?!
What's up, Nanako?
I was just thinking
We should go as a club to
An amusement park!
Ah, that sounds fun! Let's all go together on our next day off.
Whoa, really?!
I just realized that
I have no clue what to wear!
Got any ideas?
I think it's the perfect chance to get dressed up!
I'm gonna look good, too!
Just wait 'til you see my school uniform when it's all ironed!
Please wear normal clothes.
I don't think I really have any "normal clothes"...
Eiji, I just heard! You're going to an amusement park?
How nice! Can your big sister come too?
Gah! Quit being so clingy!
Oh, but I'd probably just get in the way...
After all, you wouldn't get to flirt with Nanako-chan.
Wha-?! Wh-wh-what are you talking about, Big Sis Koto?!
Don't take pictures of me!
Hey Hiro-kun,
Out of these two, which outfit
Looks better on me?
They both look the same to me.
Okay! It's getting late, you two. Time for bed.
'Kay.
I knew this day would come eventually...
Nanako's going... to an amusement park with a boy...
Guh!
Nanako... My sweet, little Nanako...
I felt like maybe... I'd never have to see her leave my side, but...
But the truth is... that was just my ego talking...
Mom! Dad's doing it again!
A-ha-ha! Welcome to Nacky Land!
Yo, Nanako! You sure are early. Didja wait long?
It's from the president.
President Amane I'm sorry Something came up, so I can't go Have fun, you two!! Thumbs-up!
I'm sorry!
Something came up, so I can't go.
Have fun, you two!
Wait, so... it's just the two of us?!
Well, should we head inside?
Sorry, guys. Nothing came up, it was just an excuse.
I'd love to hang out with the both of you at an amusement park.
But what I'd love even more...
...is to spy on your date from afar.
That's WAY more fun for me!
Mama, that girl's really weird!
You just gotta get
These kinds of things when you go
To amusement parks!
O-ho! They look good on you!
Huh?! I gotta wear 'em too?! C'mon, I'm gonna look really lame...
But I guess... I might as well.
Well?! Am I adorable?!
I totally thought
My heart was going to leap
Right out of my chest!
Yeah...
That one was scary!
My legs feel like jelly, and
I can barely stand!
Y'know... I feel like I should be the one sayin' all this...
A-ha! Is everyone having fun? I'm Nacky Rabbit!
All you boys and girls who want a kiss from Nacky, gather 'round!
Here we go!
And... kiss!
Here's one for you! Kiss!
And one for you...
Kiss!
What the...?! Nacky suddenly started licking that dude's shoes!
Stop it! I can't bear to see you like this, Nacky!
Mascots have gotten a lot cooler since I was a kid!
They give you kisses AND they lick your shoes!
Hm? What's wrong, Nanako?
It's not fair, Ei-chan...
I can't believe Nacky stole
Your very first kiss...
Huh?! H-hey!
My first kiss? What does it matt...
I... Th-that's...
W-wouldn't drinking outta somethin' like this be really lame?!
W-well, this place, you see...
It looks like they only have
This one size, really...
U-uh, that so?
That's pretty weird!
But, well... I am thirsty... And it'd be a waste not to drink it, so I guess I gotta...
Th-th-then, should we drink it on the count of three?
My, my! How precious~
Something tells me you don't have a boyfriend, President...
Hey! I've got my eye on a guy or two...!
But... no, I don't.
Man, today was a blast!
I'm sure your parents must be gettin' worried by now,
so how 'bout we call it a day?
We hit up pretty much all of the attractions, anyway.
Let's come back with the president and Bis Sis Koto next time.
What's up? Gotta use the bathroom?
I broke my shoelace,
So I can't really walk home...
What should we do now?
Nanako...
Jeez, you're such a dork...
You don't even have shoelaces!
WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID?!
P-President?! Big Sis Koto?!
It's almost funny how different we are
Down to our reflections in the shop window
When you smile as brightly as the sun
A peaceful feeling washes over me
Even my trivial, everyday life
Begins to shine when I'm with you
Even if something happened
Even if we hurt each other sometimes
Believe in our ordinary days
On the next epi-

The Canvas G-
