KUMIGAWA FIREWORKS FESTIVAL

-I want to go to this! -What?

The one in the neighboring town, right?

It's this Saturday, right?

Yes. Let's go together, Mom.

I'm sorry! I'm going to Shinji's concert on that day.

He held his birthday concert just the other day.

This time is to commemorate his first month as a 25 year old.

He is the type of person who keep adding more and more anniversaries.

That is what being a fan is all about.

To me, my oshi is my fireworks.

Thank you for the wise words.

What about asking your friends?

They all turned me down.

All that's left are...

-Hey Big Sis... -I'm not going to the fireworks festival.

How did you know? Are you psychic?

It's plain as day.

I'm going on a short business trip this weekend.

Seriously?

When are you going back to Ryou-san?

No, it's okay.

What about you, how long are you going to stay here?

I added extra days off to my summer break.

Don't enter the summer break of your life, okay?

Yes.

It's a no from Big Sis too...

-Kae! -What?

This lipstick is good, do you want to try it on?

-Can I? -Of course.

That looks great! So cute!

-Hey... -I'm not going to the fireworks festival.

How do you know? Are the two of you psychic?

This is what you pull out when you want to ask for a favor.

The third sister can't be underestimated.

There's a photography club meeting this weekend.

By the way, you'd have to go through the mountain pass to go to the next town.

I can't drive a car in the first place.

I see.

And the one who has a license is...

I'm home.

When you say fireworks, you think of a yukata.

When you say yukata, you think of cute.

When you say cute, you think of me.

So she's going with Dad, huh?

The two of them are weirdly getting along so well lately.

She really wants to go there, huh?

When you say Saturday, you think of a fireworks.

When you say fireworks, you're going with Riko.

Going with Riko is fun.

Doesn't hurt at all.

Dad is the one who's all worked up.

This is the Kumigawa Fireworks Festival Executive Committee.

Today's fireworks festival will start as planned at 7 PM.

Go ahead!

Thank you very much.

-That's great. -What?

Going to the fireworks festival with your daughter.

She asked me to go togehter out of the blue.

-So that's why your getting your car washed? -Yes.

-Sure sounds like a date to me. -A date? No no.

-You think so? -Yes.

I think that I'm also going to change the oil.

Thank you very much.

The best one.

-The fast one. -The fast one?

I'm home.

You look great.

I'm wearing Mom's.

That's great.

What should I get from the food stall?

-Takoyaki! -Takoyaki!

It's not a festival if you don't eat takoyaki!

-Curly fries! -There it is!

A food stall newcomer.

-Pickled cucumber! -Palate cleanser.

We can go another round now.

-Yakisoba! -Yakisoba to cap it off.

The food stall adventure starts and ends with sauce!

What's wrong!?

Because I thought about the food stalls,

I had a sip of beer.

What!? So...

I can't drive.

Riko, I'm sorry.

I got ahead of myself.

-Dad. -Yes?

I hate you.

I'm really sorry.

I will have to live with this sin for the rest of my life.

That's enough, the non alcohol you will not return.

It's not coming back.

This is all your fault.

It's your fault!

Fireworks festival...

I'm sorry.

No, driving without a license is no good.

-Thank you, Yassan. Yes.

Take care.

Hello, Riko-san.

What happened to you?

I want to go through the mountain pass.

So you couldn't go to the fireworks festival, right?

-I also had a thought of driving without a license. -You can't do that!

So I came here to take my mind off it.

In that case, what about going through the mountain pass with this?

Initial D!

It's one that says "Kashiramoji".

Initial D is a story about a group of drivers that challenges a mountain pass

with their cars running at full speed on a real-life Japanese mountain pass.

Drivers who challenges mountain pass.

The main draw of Initial D is watching the main character, driver Takumi Fujiwara,

use his outstanding driving techniques to battle with many other drivers.

But, I can't go through the mountain pass with it.

Go through the mountain pass of your heart!

Open the box!

This AE86 Trueno, commonly known as Panda Trueno,

is driven by the main character, Fujiwara Takumi, and is the star of the show, so to speak.

-Panda Trueno? So cute. -No, it's cool.

By the way, the main character is not a driver, but works at a tofu shop.

Tofu shop?

While driving through mountain passes every day to deliver tofu,

he developed genius driving techniques.

So that's why "Fujiwara Tofu Shop" is written on the side.

By the way, throughout the series, a series of rivals stand in Takumi's way, and they're all really cool!

My favorite is the cool poker face Takahashi Ryosuke's FC.

As for me, my favorite is Takahashi Keisuke's FD.

Different from his brother who is a theorist, he drives using his own sense and intuition.

While we're at it, do you want to build it together?

No.. But...

We work here...

There are times when you share a drink with the bartender at a bar, right?

Open the box!

There are a lot of parts.

This is your first scale model, right?

A scale model is a model that faithfully reproduces a real vehicle or object to scale.

A small romance that makes you feel like you have the real thing.

There is a faint smell of gasoline.

Yes.

You're right.

We need to use glue this time.

Alright, it's time.

First up is the chassis.

So strong.

While she's delicate.

This the first time that I'm watching the two of you build a kit.

I see. So this tie rod connects here and the whole chassis becomes one.

And this part goes here.

I see.

Ao, don't use glue on the parts that you want to move around the wheel.

It won't move if you do so.

Got it.

He's really talkative.

It's really difficult this time.

I don't know what am I doing.

It's because you're building an unknown world.

Unknown world?

Be it cars or boats, even if we're familiar with the actual form of those scale models,

we don't know which parts are connected to each other behind the scenes.

It feels like I'm building an actual car.

Plastic models sometimes is based on fantasies,

but other times, more than anything, it's real.

It's done.

What's wrong?

It doesn't look like it's actually running.

Can we make it to look like this?

Yes, it's possible.

A painting technique that makes plastic models look like a scene out of a manga panel,

commonly known as two-dimensional painting.

Advanced painting techniques are required to make plastic models look like they are actually alive.

The biggest points are light and shadows.

Light and shadows?

When light shines on an object

the part that hit by the light becomes brighter,

while the side that doesn't get any light is darker.

In other words, it's important to determine where is the source of light coming from.

Like this.

I see.

Start painting the side that didn't get any light with a darker color.

Afterwards, you paint the brighter side while adjusting the color as you go.

-I only took Fine Arts class 2. -Don't worry about it and just do it.

It looks more manga-like if you paint it messily.

Okay.

Here you go.

Next, use the marker to add effect lines.

Effect lines?

It's something that I see on manga.

This is too difficult.

Riko.

Imagine a 86 driving through a mountain pass.

It cut through the wind!

Now!

Riko-san, you're so bold!

But, that looks great.

What is that?

You need a course to race.

You got that right.

I made it, Yajima Mountain Pass.

Yajima Mountain Pass?

Yassan, I didn't know that you could draw too.

You're full speed ahead today!

FC3S RX-7!

AE86 Trueno!

FD3S RX-7!

Give birth!

Midsummer Yajima Mountain Pass Race.

3, 2, 1, go!

So fast!

I won't lose in a straight line!

That's Yousuke's FC for you.

Don't underestimate the performance of FD!

Keisuke is on the attack downhill.

Attacking the hairpin at that speed!?

I'll get away at the last curve!

Takumi's godly drift!

That was a lot of fun.

It's the first time that a plastic model made me this excited.

I want to build Komukai Mountain Pass next.

That's a good idea! Attack the hairpin curve at full speed.

Yes.

I got through the mountain pass. It was with a plastic model though.

Riko, follow me.

-You too, Ao. -What?

I didn't know that you can drive a car, Yassan.

Most adults can.

You should have said something.

What is this place?

Fireworks!

You can barely see it.

It's the best.

This is my special seat.

Open the box!

Open the box!
