Thank you for waiting... Darling.
Oh gosh! This is more than I can stand!
As I tried to kiss you, as if to avoid me...
...with your t-shirt on, you dove into the shining sea...
The white flower petals on your soaking skirt...
Spread open upon the surface of the blue water
Tell me why, when you winked...
...to tell me that you'd be mine...
Oh Baby, Tell Me, Tell Me You're unpredictable...
Tell me you love me, tell me that you need me...
Tell Me, Tell Me, my Angel of the Summer...
Tell me lover, tell me that you love me...
Oh Baby, Tell Me, Tell Me I know that you're in love...
Tell me you love me, tell me that you need me...
Tell Me, Tell Me, but you're a mystery...
Kimagure Orange Road
Don't Cry, Jingoro! The Heat of Young Love
Anju! Zushio!
Mother!
I promise that I... that I...
...shall find you, Mother, without fail!
I shall!
Say, what's got you all excited?
Oh, noth...
Wherever did you find that book?
Geez! It's the only thing that'll make Kazuya fall asleep!
Oooh! I don't care anymore, nope!
Jingoro hasn't been behaving at all!
I wonder what's happened...
What's up with you kids? Is something wrong with Jingoro?
Y'know, Kazuya's finally fallen asleep, after much effort on my part!
He doesn't listen to me at all!
Can't you talk a little more quietly?!
Yeah! Can you believe it?!
It was a huge hassle just getting him back home!
It's just a thought, but maybe Jingoro's entering puberty?
The onset of puberty...
Indeed, even I could see that he wasn't our usual Jingoro.
But, even then...
Hey! Jingoro, quiet down!
Oh, your Auntie has things to do tonight...
...so Kazuya will be staying over in Kyosuke's room.
Kazuya took advantage of the fact that Auntie was out...
Okay, here it comes.
Okay.
Still, tell me what happened? Your cutesy eyes are all red.
Oh! Well, nothing much, really.
Though, I'm concerned about... - About Jingoro?
Uh-huh. There's gotta be something wrong with him.
He's never disobeyed Kurumi and Manami like that before.
That's true.
That must mean that... that... Oh!
...that, just like your father was saying...
Huh? Then, that means...
...well, Jingoro is a he, after all, so...
...so the "onset of puberty" must be...
...something that just happens naturally, so...
"Something that happens naturally?"
At that moment, I realized that I had just said something quite racy...
...right in front of Hikaru.
H-Hikaru...
O-Oh, Darling!
Huh?!
W-Well... Well...
H-Hikaru!
Umm, I need to take care of something first!
Gosh, Darling!
Darling is using Jingoro as an excuse!
I love you so... Love me too...
The truth is that it was you who... who...
I love you so... Love me too...
There you are with that look of yours, looking dumbfounded...
...that it was you who desired me!
There you are with that look of yours, looking dumbfounded...
How dare you compliment other girls? I can't forgive you!
Oh, dear God!
I'm gonna seduce you aggressively like there's no tomorrow... Oh, dear God!
I'm gonna seduce you aggressively like there's no tomorrow...
I've-I've been dreaming all this time...
...to love you without any doubts
About... About that moment.
...to love you without any doubts
You staggered along by the guardrail on purpose...
Tell me that it's okay for us to...
You staggered along by the guardrail on purpose...
"It's all right."
You're walking on a tightrope with one arm stretched out... "It's all right."
You're walking on a tightrope with one arm stretched out...
Yeah right! Oh, this is too much!
"Darling, I need you... Darling, I want you..." Yeah right! Oh, this is too much!
"Darling, I need you... Darling, I want you..."
Though...
"Darling, I need you... Darling, I want you..."
...if it's going to be on the Nurse's bed...
"Love me and hold me tight..." ...if it's going to be on the Nurse's bed...
In the Spring or the Summer, I will love you. "I love you." ...if it's going to be on the Nurse's bed...
In the Spring or the Summer, I will love you. "I love you."
...well, that's a bit different...
In the Spring or the Summer, I will love you. "I love you."
...from how I'd imagined it.
In the Spring or the Summer, I will love you. "I love you."
N-N-Nurse's Room?!
In Autumn or Winter... "Anytime..." N-N-Nurse's Room?!
In Autumn or Winter... "Anytime..."
I'll give you my special love, just for you...
In the morning or at night, I will love you...
I love you. Anytime, anywhere... okay?
Turn Back, My Darling...
Thank you for waiting... Darling...
Turn Back, My Darling...
Oh? Yesterday evening, huh?
Uh-huh.
She was shaking... terrified...
...because a truck splashed through a puddle and drenched her.
When it comes to animals, you've got such a big heart.
He's so cute!
Gosh, Hikaru... go easy on me, won't you please?
Oh! Sorry about that.
But, my goodness, Kasuga! Just look at your face!
Huh? Er... Well...
Quite an injury, considering you were only scratched by a girl...
G-Gee, Ayukawa!
Anyway, about Jingoro...
Hikaru told me about him.
Maybe he's lonely. Jingoro, that is.
What?
I mean, when you and your sisters are at school...
...Jingoro is all alone by himself, isn't he?
Being all by yourself, it gets quite lonely, you know.
Being alone...
A-Ayukawa!
S-So, y'know, just think of it as doing me a favor!
So help me out here!
I hear ya, I hear ya!
You want us to find Jingoro a pussycat, one that he'll like, right?
Trust us, I say! Here!
Yeah! Whoa! - Hey, guys! What are you up to?!
Pussycats! Pussycats! We can pick from a wide selection here!
Look, you, don't you know...
...that puberty and the estrus cycle are when we've got to fight using reason!
I'm gonna fight!
Wh-What the heck's this?!
Hey!
Why, you, you knew about this, didn't you?!
Correctamundo! Oh, Kurumi and Manami are in there too!
Wh-What?!
A guy! - Eyeeeww!
Shoo! Shoo! You pervert!
Yo, Hatta! Watch it! Watch it!
Uh! Uh-oh! - Hey! What the...!
K-Kasuga! Help me out here! Help! I'm suspended, man!
What?! What do you mean "help me..."
Gimme your shoulders! Your shoulders!
Shoulders! Shoulders! - Will you calm down...
Hey! Hey! Hurry!
Help! Whoa! I'm saved! You take it from here, man!
There's another one still out there!
Kyosuke!
You're scum...!
Hey! Hey, Kyosuke! Don't hold him so tight! You're hurting him!
Relax! Relax! We're doing this for Jingoro's own good.
Listen, Jingoro... we'll get you feeling great in no time!
Hey, Kasuga! Over here! Over here!
Huh? Komatsu and Hatta...
Just what're you trying to do, Kyosuke?
Matchmaking! Matchmaking!
WHAT?!
"To want somebody who'll be there always..."
"That's not so strange, is it?"
Ayukawa...
Every time I'm here, your house is always so nice, Madoka!
What do you mean?
I mean, it's so spacious!
If I do some aerobics at home...
...I can't avoid kicking my dad's butt!
Say, Madoka, have you decided on what to name this cat?
Nope. Not yet.
"Kyosuke!"
Not gonna happen, or will it...?!
Of course not! This cat's a "she," you know.
So that's that!
Maybe it's not so bad an idea... A girl with a boy's name.
Tumtatatum! "When you meet someone for the first time..."
"...sometimes love blooms, starting that very day!"
"The stranger that you are..."
"...and the stranger that you are..."
"We'll set you up on a date..."
"Meow-Meow With A Punch!" - "Meow-Meow With A Punch!"
I'm your host, Komatsuya Iwashi!
I'm the assistant host, Hattatei Buri!
All right, our first contestant...
...come on down!
Okay, please state your name and age. Let's hear some energy!
Your name and age are...?
S-Say, young man, how old are you?
Doofus!
Whattalil'friggin'twerp!
Why you little punk, you think you can diss me that way, dammit?!
Well, well, please, calm down. Calm down!
All right now, time for a meeting!
Okay! No-go! No-go!
Next, please!
This sure is something, to have this much of a response!
For something done by Kyosuke, it's pretty impressive, I think.
Stop!
Hey! Kazuya!
That's right! Uh-huh! You shouldn't be naughty like that!
Look who's talking!
I'm not gonna pull Kurumi and Manami's skirts up for you guys anymore!
Sh-Sh-Sh-Shhh!
Why, you guys!
All right, this calls for...
Wh-What are you doing, big bro?!
Just come with me!
You're hurting me!
What's up with him?!
I didn't know he was into child abuse.
Huh?
Er... Oh, no, nothing.
What?! You want me to switch places with Jingoro?!
Yeah! That's the only way we can find out what's troubling him!
Okay? I'm begging you!
No way, I'm not gonna!
Why, you! Don't you feel any sympathy for Jingoro?!
He could be heartbroken because he's all alone!
Jingoro's all alone?
Yeah.
Kyosuke!
Oooh! Here comes the snowman!
Huh...?!
Oh! It's so cute!
Ah, but I dunno, maybe not for her...
It doesn't look like they'd go well together.
Like, whassup?! What are you lookin' at?!
Don't you "whassup" me! We've been lookin' for that cat, y'know.
We know all about your type, babes that claim...
...they found things, when really they ripped 'em off!
Say what?!
Hey! Hey! Jingoro!
Hey! Jingoro!
A white one and polka-dotted one!
Who said he's feeling down?!
Uh-oh!
Kyosuke! What's the meaning of this?!
Um, well... so this is what happens when Kazuya becomes a cat.
Er... Oh, nothing! At any rate, about Kazuya...
...I mean, about Jingoro...
Jingoro!
Huh?
Er, I mean, Kazuya is gone!
Oh, gosh! He's so irresponsible, leaving his friends like that!
Oh, no!
H-Hey, Kasuga!
What's up with Kyosuke?
Bumble, Bumble! Bumble, Bumble! Bumble, Bumble!
Jingoro!
Hey, Kazuya! Where did Jingoro go?!
Hey, Kazuya! Will you help me out a little?!
Madoka's cat?
What?
Oh, er... that was, y'see...
...my mommy!
What?! Er... just what's going on here?
Yesterday, quite by accident, while I was out shopping, I saw her!
There's no doubt about it!
"Jingoro! What's wrong?!"
Please! Tell me! Where did she go?!
"Tell me?" Um, I've got no idea what's going on here, you know what I mean?
Well, if you're looking for Madoka, then... she called earlier and said...
Why, you, Jingoro! Where'd you go?! I've been looking everywhere for you!
So what's the story?! Are you telling us that the cat's owner is here?
What a cute one.
My! Two pussycats at that.
Madoka...
So, you're the one... the weirdo who lets us take care of his cat...
...and then accuses us of stealing her.
We sure would like a little gratitude for finding her!
What you did was despicable!
You won't get away with this.
"I hear they are a shady bunch of fellows."
"If I recall, they hang out just outside of town."
"So, what happened to Ayukawa?!"
"Oh! Oh, she went with Hikaru!"
"What?! Hikaru too?!"
Mommy!
Such an energetic pussycat.
"Puttytat, Puttytat, won't you be my friend?"
If you thought that all the girls these days would...
...be so easily intimidated...
...you're totally mistaken!
Ayukawa!
Sempai!
Mommy...
Mommy!
Oh no!
There!
Now, just what's going on here, Kasuga?!
Wh...? Oh, er...
Well, you know, like they say, "Cats ought to be with other cats!"
What?!
"Mommy!!"
Who knew that it was just an accidental resemblance...
An accidental resemblance among cats?!
Keep your chin up, okay? Until you find her...
...Ms. Madoka here will take care of you like a mother would.
Ayukawa...
Oh! I love Jingoro too, you know!
Jingoro!
At that moment, I felt really envious of Jingoro...
Broken Heart is in Flames... "It began in the summer..."
Hold me, hold me, hold me, Fire Love... "It burnt up in the fall..."
Broken Heart is in Flames... "It's withering in the winter..."
Flare, Flare, Flare like the Sun, Fire Love...
On that last night we went out for a drive, I left my go-out voice behind
As we watched the horizon, I said goodbye...
Like seasons, hit songs come and go...
As you get used to one, you're tired of it...
That's what's written on your profile...
You were waiting for the lucky star in your room...
...I was too late to notice it in that one phone call that day
Broken Heart is in Flames... "It began in the summer..."
Hold me, hold me, hold me, Fire Love... "It burnt up in the fall..."
Broken Heart is in Flames... "It's withering in the winter..."
Flare, Flare, Flare like the Sun, Fire Love...
Erase the memory of you from me... "Stop, Stop, Stop"
Kurumi's fallen in love! That royal pig has lost her appetite...
...and gotten all mellow and sentimental, gazing at the night sky!
Exactly who did she fall for?!
What?! Hayami, the guy from the Soccer Club?!
Why, that's the guy who sent Ayukawa a love letter!
Next time: "A Tender Little Story! Kurumi's First Love - Chapter 'Hell"'
I am in for one surprise after another!
