Original subtitles

I can hear the wind talking to me.

It tastes good.

It tastes so good!

I need to sort things out first.

Why is Menma here?

A mother-in-law is driven to suicide by her unfaithful daughter-in-law,

Incredible Ghosts

and returns from beyond the grave!

A mother-in-law is driven to suicide by her unfaithful daughter-in-law,

and returns from beyond the grave!

Incredible Ghosts

It's most logical to think that she can't attain nirvana because she can't get over something in this world.

I don't know.

I mean, the Menma I knew was always smiling...

Why would I like such an ugly—

I've always wanted to apologize to Menma.

Just saying sorry isn't enough. I know that much.

I know.

That might be Menma's wish.

It could be "I hope Jin-tan goes to school".

School...

Why school?!

Why, do you think?

You don't have to force yourself.

What the heck?

You were telling me to go before.

The past was the past...

...but look ahead!

Jin-tan...

Don't worry about it.

B-But Jin-tan, you've had that scary face for a while now...

Leave no surface unbrushed!

Jin-tan?

You have a wish, right?

You can count on me too.

I want to help you attain nirvana.

Jin-tan's mom, did you attain nirvana?

I wonder what nirvana's like...

Calm...

I'll remain calm.

That's right, I will think of nothing.

Nothing. Nothing...

I can't believe she came to school like nothing happened.

Yeah, totally.

She's from class 1-3, right?

Yeah, Anjou Naruko.

H-Hey.

Anjou.

I told you it was true.

Anjou...

Totally.

Seriously, Anjou?

No way! Anjou did?!

She's such a rebel!

Well, this must be the dictionary definition of a let-down.

Some of them seem to be taking notice of me, but...

Who's that?

Isn't he the guy who never comes?

No way! She got called out by the principal?

Naruko screwed up.

What's wrong with going to a love hotel?

...Anjou completely wins this one.

It feels like I got all fired up for nothing.

But...

Someone from the PTA saw her.

Her partner was some middle-aged guy.

Hooker!

But...

All right, sit down everyone!

Class is starting.

You too, Anjou. Please sit down.

Okay, open up your textbooks.

You messed up, Naruko.

Within the feelings of the narrator, "me", in this story...

...there are many different forms of "anger".

First of all, he bears the anger from his wife's betrayal.

Anjou's taking notes regardless of all this?

I guess she's been like that since she was little.

She wasn't smart and was clumsy despite how hard she worked.

Isn't Anjou hot?

Maybe she'll let us do it if we ask.

And thus, the male pride of "me" is deeply hurt.

It's not like that. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h I didn't...

Stop making stuff up!!!

Die!!

Shut your mouths!!

Secondly, he bears the anger that is directed toward himself.

Anjou...

H e l p m e

Notebook: "Help me"

He has a hunch about the contents of the letter, but as a man...

H e l p m e

H e l p m e

H e l p m e

H e l p m e

H e l p m e

H e l p m e

...and as a husband, "me" tells the wife about it to appear superior to "him".

I heard she had sex with some old guy.

It's prostitution, I swear.

Maybe she'll let us do it.

She's a hooker.

A hooker?!

Y-You guys!

Look at me!

I-It's been a while since I c-came to school.

I-I only c-came here for the entrance ceremony and the f-f-first week.

H-How's my face?!

'Tis an uncommon sight, I'm sure!

'Tis?

U-Uh, let's see...

Y-You're... Yadomi-kun?

J-Jin—

You can see her anytime you want!

A love hotel?

Is that really worth making a big fuss over?

She looks like she's been to a love hotel once or twice.

She has a love hotel face!

Wha—

But!

I'm telling you, she would never stoop down to prostitution!

Besides, she's a Capricorn with blood type A.

She never goes on adventures, is serious as hell, wears glasses, has a poker face and lots of stuff,

loves to sort stuff, collected all sorts of things since she was little, wears glasses...

Yeah, she's a damn boring woma—

Shut up already!

Take your stuff!

W-We're going, Yadomi!

W-Whoa!

W-Wait...!

Naruko...

"Look at me", you said!

Anyone would think you're a pervert!

Shut up.

But... thank you.

You stuck up for me.

No, that—

But!

"Love hotel face" is too much!

I seriously never went to a love hotel!

In fact, I've never even entered one!

Yeah yeah, I get it.

Don't "yeah yeah" me!

Just go home for now.

Your mom's probably worrying about you.

Hey, where are you going?!

Your house is this way!

I'm not going home.

Huh?

The school must have contacted her already.

She'll be really mad.

She would never forgive me for these things.

Hey, Anjou!

Well, maybe that's true, but...

Forget Me

Forget Me Not

Episode 6

H-Hey!

You can't just suddenly decide to stay here, Anaru.

It's just until the heat goes away!

Heat?

You know, this is my castle that's soaked with sweat, tears, and all kinds of man juices.

We made it together.

This is my proof. Look!

I carved a Hamtaro here!

Hamtaro?

Looks more like sausages than ham...

First off, your so-called man juices stink so I'm cleaning this place up.

W-W-W-Wait! Don't touch that!

What's this?! It's rotten!

What should we do about her?

She may be staying here, but we'll still have to let her mom know.

Things'll get worse otherwise.

She's a scaredy-cat, after all.

Always hiding in Menma's shadow.

Hey, Jin-tan.

Yeah?

Is Menma here now?

No, she's not.

Seriously?

Then how about we go to Menma's house?

We might get a hint as to what Menma's wish is!

You're...

Menma wants you to grant her wish.

Jin-tan?

I mean... wouldn't it be better if Menma's around?

But wouldn't it be kind of bad to say "let's go to Menma's house!" in her face?

You're more considerate than I'd thought.

I guess.

I got credentials for a rank five shaman in Vietnam!

Those actually exist?

All right!

We'll have to text Yukiatsu and the crew too, then.

Let's see here, address, address...

Re: Today

Isn't that how a prestigious school is?

I guess.

But I was thinking everybody didn't change at all despite how much time had passed.

It wasn't true after all.

Everyone's changing bit by bit.

Hey, let's not go to Menma's house.

Why not?

Well, we've never been to Menma's house to begin with.

Right, Menma's dad was really scary.

It might be a good opportunity though.

You know, I want to burn some incense for Menma.

Yadomi?

What face will Menma's mother greet us with?

I can't believe it.

Meiko would be glad that all of you came.

Here, come on in.

Will you say hello to Meiko, please?

Ah, sure.

Why is this affecting me?

Menma's dead.

I knew that from the start, but...

This is Meiko's room.

Go ahead.

Hey, Tsurumi-san.

Minako wanted you to give this to Matsuyuki-kun.

Stop it!

You're in the same class.

Give it to him yourself.

Hey, Tsurumi-san!

You're so stuck up!

Do you look down on us because you always get to be by his side?!

We know!

Tsurumi-san, you like Matsuyuki-kun, right?!

What are you—

Tsurumi?

What's wrong?

Hmm?

Let's go!

Yeah!

You're going home?

Be careful.

There are weirdos around the place recently.

So they're always jealous of you like that.

Sorry for giving you trouble.

I could send them your crossdressing pictures and all my problems would be solved.

Probably.

By the way, Yadomi and the group are going to Menma's house.

So they're all taking Yadomi seriously.

Not everyone can get past their own past.

Matsuyuki Atsumu being the prime example.

I won't deny it.

You've gotten honest.

None of my excuses work on you anyway.

He pisses me off.

Yadomi?

If you compared high schools or any kind of parameter, I'm totally ahead of him now.

Yet, he still swings me around just like old times.

He even brings up Menma's name.

How big of a fool must he make of me to be satisfied?

That day too...

If he hadn't asked us to gather at the secret base...

Didn't Menma invite everyone that day?

Yeah, I think so.

Menma called me.

Called...

That's right. She needed advice on something...

Yeah.

Menma said she wanted advice on something.

So this is Menma's diary.

I didn't think she'd just lend it to us.

What a good mother.

But it's kind of sad.

Her father said not to dwell on Meiko forever.

He cleaned up her room.

Meiko's stuff is here...

We can't do anything about it.

Seeing these things only makes it hurt more.

Seeing...

I don't really know what it's like to be a mother, but I think they care about their children a lot.

Look who's talking.

I guess I'll go home...

I-It's not like I'm worried about my parents!

I just remembered I have stuff to do!

Bye!

She isn't being honest.

Well, we got the diary, so let's read it in the secret base.

Can you wait a little until we do that?

I have to make dinner today, and I haven't washed the dishes since morning...

See you!

Then I'll go ahead and—

Hey, don't look at it when I'm not around!

Don't!

Am I... the loner?

Seeing only makes it hurt more...

Then would it be better if I couldn't see Menma?

No, but...

Jin-tan, welcome home!

How was school?

Seeing only...

...makes it...

Well, we somehow ended up seeing your mom—

Take it away!

Take it away!

Take it away!

Take it away!

Hey!

Why...

...would you do that?

Why?

Menma?

You'll remind Mommy about Menma if you do that.

Menma is making Mommy...

...really, really sad.

Menma doesn't want to make Mommy any sadder!

Menma doesn't want Mommy to remember her.

N-Not remember you? That's impossible.

Beca—

So what?!

Menma wants Mommy to forget about her, even if it's just a bit...

Keep lying.

Didn't you say, "I'd be happy if you didn't forget about me"?

Didn't you say that?!

But—

That's enough already!

You always worry too m-much about other people!

Think about yourself more!

That attitude really pisses me off!

You just laugh it away when you get hurt...

You're always crying for someone else...

Why am I shouting so much?

Jin-tan...

I'm...!

Jin-tan!

You have a nosebleed!

Oh no!

Um, um...

Stuff a tissue inside!

W-Wait a—

A tissue!

And then lay down looking upwards!

Then it'll start getting better...

Jin-tan?

Sorry.

I'm going out for a bit.

But it's late!

Jin-tan...

What am I doing?

Seriously, what am I doing?

Yadomi?

W-What's wrong? It's late.

I-I thought you went home too...

Wait, your clothes...

I-It's not...!

I just had a nosebleed, so it's not like I'm horny for you or anything...

W-Wait, calm dow—

Go away, you pervert!

Pervert! Herbert! With no shirt!

There's no doubt.

She's definitely a virgi—

We happened to meet that moment

Deai wa futto shita shunkan

At the intersection on my way home

Kaerimichi no kousaten de

You said to me, "Let's go home together"

Koe wo kakete kureta ne "Issho ni kaerou"

Aa hanabi ga yozora kirei ni saite

Oh, the fireworks flowered beautifully in the night sky

Yet it was a little sad

Chotto setsunaku

Oh, the wind and time flow along together

Aa kaze ga jikan to tomo ni nagareru

I was so happy and everything was so fun

Ureshikutte tanoshikutte

Bouken mo iroiro shita ne

We had many adventures together

Inside our secret base

Futari no himitsu no kichi no naka

Our summer together has ended

Kimi to natsu no owari

I won't forget your great hopes and dreams for the future

Shourai no yume ooki na kibou wasurenai

I believe we'll meet again in August ten years from now

Juunen go no hachigatsu mata deaeru no wo shinjite

I know that you were shouting "thank you"

Kimi ga saigo made kokoro kara "arigatou"

With all your heart until the very end

Sakendeita koto shitteita yo

It hurt so much to hold back my tears and say goodbye with a smile

Namida wo koraete egao de sayounara setsunai yo ne

Thank you for the memories

Saikou no omoide wo

Oh man, Menma's dad went off with our ball.

You know, he did tell you not to play in front of their house.

Her dad is pretty scary...

He's nothing like Menma.

You think so?

Doesn't her face kind of remind you...

It doesn't!

You didn't have to take it so seriously...
