~ Da Capo ~

I can peek into other people’s dreams.

I was granted this mysterious power…

If this were a novel or a game, people would probably think I’m cool.

But… I’d like to yell out,

“There’s nothing more boring than other people’s dreams.”

I’m so sick of this…

Tall…

Anyway… whose dream is this?

I’m back, Onii-chan.

Why can’t I remember her name?

I can’t see you, but you’re there, right?

Me? You know I’m here?

Yeah, I can feel you.

This is a dream, and when I wake up, I probably won’t remember anything about it.

For some reason…

I felt sad looking at her clouded face.

… but I could neither embrace nor speak to her.

Because I’m a mage lacking in knowledge, who can only watch predestined dreams unfold.

A bell?

What is this… heavy feeling… I feel on my stomach?

’Morning, Nii-san!

Are you awake yet?

Nemu?

Am I the only one feeling a murderous intent here?

You’re going to take your first class as a 3rd-year today.

You want to be at ease, don’t you?

You do quite scary things while still looking calm.

Anyway, hurry up and get ready.

Wait, Nemu…

What?

We haven’t taken care of your morning routine yet.

No, that’s all right… We don’t have to today.

Stop making excuses and let’s just get on with it.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Owwww!

1… 2… 3… 4… 5…

All right. A slight fever, as usual.

Why does it always turn into a head-butt?

How else would I check to see if you have a fever?

Why don’t we just use a thermometer?

Sure, once you stop trying to change the results.

Or do you want me to be around you all the time to check up on you?

Undoing the top button of your shirt, I slowly work my way inside…

…then I take the temperature under your armpit, and your body becomes all stiff…

You don’t have to describe it in detail!

Anyway, just hurry up and get ready!

Geez…

He’s my brother,

but actually, we’re not related by blood.

He cares for me, more than a real brother probably would.

Boy, cherry trees that blossom throughout the year are weird.

It’s been like this ever since I was young, so I take it for granted, but… it’s still weird.

Heh, I like them because they’re pretty.

It’s a hassle to clean up.

You’re so unromantic.

It takes a lot of money and work to satisfy this “romance” of yours.

Despite the fact that you’re lazy, you think things through, don’t you?

You should just open your heart and appreciate the flowers in front of you.

It must be fun to be able to talk normally with someone, like they are…

Yoriko, you’re so lucky. You’re free.

Yoriko!

I thought I’d calculated in enough time so we wouldn’t have to run!

How come there’s nobody else around then?

Ah, it’s a student from our school. Looks like she’s in no hurry!

It looks more like she gave up to me.

And on top of that, she’s sleeping.

Kazami Academy

I get it, everyone was in a hurry because they wanted to see their new class arrangements!

Ah, Nemu-senpai!

’Mornin!

What are you, a dog?

Ah, good morning, Asakura-senpai.

Don’t make it sound like you mean it.

That was mean! Of course I meant it.

You mean a lot to me too, Asakura-senpai!

But… you’re nowhere near Nemu-senpai!

Love love love love…

Let go!

Yes!

You are a dog.

Oh, I have some good news; you two are in the same class!

Oh my, I can’t believe I have to take care of my troublesome sister even at school…

Keep this up, and I’ll never let you copy my homework again!

What am I, a grade school student?

Suginami has a habit of making bad puns and playing with words.

Hey, Asakura siblings, having fun with our morning dealings?

Suginami, your choice of words could be better.

I’m only describing reality as I see it.

You better not be in my class too.

…you are.

By the way, good sir…

I have a great little guessing game. Would you like to participate?

You mean worthless, right?

It’s a wonderful quiz

where you have to guess how many people will ask Shirakawa Kotori out before graduation.

Don’t you mean a bet?

This is a genuine game! Needless to say, the winner will get a prize.

You mean a dividend?

Oh, speak of the devil.

Well, the school idol really is a flower among flowers.

What’re the odds of us getting her…

You seem somewhat lonely, Nii-san.

We have a new transfer student!

She’s so cute!

Look this way!

There’s a new transfer student… She seems to be really popular too.

Sakuranbo!

Onii-chan?

It’s really you, Onii-chan!

Oww…

Amazing counter.

Nemu-chan, that hurts.

Oh sorry, sorry… My body just moved on its own.

Hey, wait… are you REALLY Sakuranbo? Not… her little sister?

Ah, being called that brings back memories.

I’ve come back after six years…

You should look happier!

Is this strange organism an acquaintance of yours, Asakura siblings?

I-I don’t have a Lolita complex, Suginami!

Nii-san, we’re not dreaming, this is Sakura-chan.

But think about it… she can’t be only this tall in reality!

I hate people who pick on others’ physical features…

… but I love you, Onii-chan!

Hey you, stop fooling around!

You’re probably Sakura’s little sister, or a relative…

I am me!

What’s going on, Asakura?

Toyomi-sensei! W-Well, this is…

Asakura, youthful exuberance is all very well, but this is neither the time nor the place for it.

Sakura-chan, your class is over there.

Well, I’d better go study.

Oh yeah, Onii-chan, let’s have lunch together!

Hey hey, this isn’t a show. Return to your classes, all of you.

Why didn’t you wait for me?

I didn’t want to have to take care of a troublesome brother at school too.

What are you so mad about?

A vegetable sandwich?

You’ll have to eat more than that, or your body won’t keep up.

If you’re short on money, I can lend you some.

You don’t have to worry that much. I’m not that hungry anyway.

So that’s why your chest doesn’t get bigger either.

Nii-san, you seem really eager to go on a one-way trip to the hospital.

S-Sorry… my bad.

But Nii-san, is it all right for you to be here?

I was trying to be considerate too.

So that’s why you hurried ahead to the cafeteria.

Well, if that’s the real Sakuranbo, then there is no need for me to go.

What do you mean?

No one was ever able to win a game of hide-and-seek against her.

See?

For now, I’ll disappear?

Ah, Nii-san?

Onii-chan, I found you!

Crap!

I’m good at chasing people!

We’re evenly matched in speed!

Why am I running so frantically?

But my body is moving on its own, so there’s no helping it.

Onii-chan?

Onii-chan…

Onee-chan, could you pass me the spoon?

Here.

Thanks.

I’m going to put some more onions in.

Sure.

Nabe are hot casserole / stew dishes.

A nabe on the rooftop? Why?

Today’s nabe is Damakko soup.

DAMAKKO

Damakko soup is an Akita specialty.

Onee-chan, what are these white dango-like things?

Thanks for asking, Mako-chan!

That is the Damakko itself!

Damakkos are half-killed rice, rolled up into little balls.

Half-killed rice?

Yes, you don’t mash it up completely.

Only just enough so that you can still see the grains of rice.

Like this?

Hu! Ha! It’s very subtl– –

I’ll pretend I didn’t see that.

Sakura-chan?

Ah, Nemu-chan.

Hey, where’s Onii-chan?

Asakura-senpai escaped through the back door a while ago…

Really…?

Sakura-chan, let’s walk home together.

Oh, by the way, this is Amakase Miharu-chan.

Miharu, this is the new transfer student, Yoshino Sakura-chan.

Yoshino-senpai, you’re so small and cute!

Miharu-chan, you are so soft!

Y-You two seem to be getting along pretty well.

I see, so you’re Asakura-senpai’s cousin?

But why did you suddenly come back from America?

Because I made a promise with Onii-chan.

A promise?

Yeah.

Onii-chan and I made three promises under the ever-blossoming sakura tree.

What are these three promises?

First, that we would definitely be reunited someday.

Second, to help each other in times of need.

And the third…

The third?

It’s so embarrassing, I can’t say it!

Yoshino-senpai, that’s not fair! You have to tell us!

No no, this is our secret.

A secret?

What’s a secret?

Don’t scare me like that! When did you get back?

Just now.

Why are you balancing the books? It’s not like we have any money.

We have to record all our expenses, whether we have money or not.

Father told me to take care of the finances while he was gone.

Hmm… I might have to… cook for us…

A-Anything but that!

What’s that supposed to mean?

W-Well, I-I have welcomed you here as a free woman, and not as a maid…

So… I would like you to shine fo– –

My tongue slipped… A maid is less violent.

I know I’m bad at cooking.

It’s a little more than just bad. You can kill people with it.

Then how about I lower your allowance?

No, not that! I won’t be able to survive!

Don’t worry, I’ll leave you with enough to pay for our food.

That’s not the problem!

I think that is the problem.

I-It is, heh?

Yup!

That was one long day.

How did you break in here?

I climbed up the sakura tree to the window.

I even knocked.

That’s breaking and entering, no matter where you are.

You said it was okay.

Eh… W-Well, that was when we were kids.

The window latch has been broken for six years.

You left it that way for me, right?

It was just a hassle.

I’ll let you say that for now.

Why are you here?

I haven’t greeted you since I came back.

You made a huge fuss at school!

I didn’t greet you properly yet.

Hey, Onii-chan, can you give me one?

G-Give you?

Yeah, to welcome me back.

Greeting… w-wait a sec.

It’s okay, isn’t it? It’s been a while.

A-A while… but I have no recollection of ev– –

I want one as soft and sweet as possible.

Ah… you did that on purpose.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen your magic.

Keep saying that, and someday a wolf will get you.

If I’m Little Red Riding Hood, are you the wolf?

Hmm… you probably wouldn’t taste too good.

What’s that supposed to mean?

Exactly what I said.

So you finally believe I’m me.

Yeah, you haven’t changed a bit, Sakuranbo.

You know, Onii-chan… you could have given me a…

Hmm? Nii-san?

Is someone in there?

Nii-san, I’m opening the door.

Nii-san.

T-This is…

I’m home, Onii-chan.

Ah, N-Nemu!

N-Nemu, it’s not– –

Onii-chan?

Nii-san, you dirty pervert!

This is… my fault… how…?

And… this is how it all began…

#1 Can’t I Fall In Love?

Yes, without end… Da Capo.

Preview

How was today’s Damakko?

Sakura-chan, it’s not Damakko, it’s Da Capo.

Is that so?

You half-kill the rice until you can just see the grains.

That aside, it seems like next week’s story is going to be a scary one…

They say that Nemu-chan isn’t like Nemu-chan anymore.

EHH!? Nemu-senpai turns into a banana?

It’s scary, but I kind of want to see that happen.

I won’t turn into a banana…

The next episode is about a Shottsuru nabe.

#2 The Dark Nemu Explodes

I’m telling you, it isn’t about nabes!
