#8 Utamaru’s Spring

In the peaceful light

Hisakata no

of the ever-shining sun

hikari no dokeki

In the days of spring,

haru no hi ni

Why do the cherry’s new-blown blossoms

shizu-gokoro naku

Scatter like restless thoughts?

hana no chiruran

Another tanka, by Ki no Tomonori from the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu (100 Poems by 100 Poets)

The spring colored island Hatsunejima…

Is an island surrounded by everblooming sakuras and an all-year season of spring (nya).

Nya?

Geez Nii-san… I woke him up for nothing!

I’m not going to be held responsible if he’s late.

Asakura Nemu

Asakura Nemu-chan.

She attends the Kazami Academy’s middle school, and is currently a 9th grader (nya).

She’s 155 cm tall…

Weighs 37 kg.

Her three sizes from the top are: 79 - 53 - 82 cm, and she has a slim body.

Speaking of which, Utamaru is 23 - 23 - 23 cm (nya).

Are you ready?

Yes.

Owwww!

Right now, Nemu-chan is living together with her older brother, Jyunichi (nya).

Everyone thinks that they are twins, but in reality…

They are not related by blood (nya).

One of Nemu-chan’s trademarks is the bell on her neck…

But the one who would really look good with it is me, Utamaru (nya).

Nemu!

Nemu?

Nii-san?

Geez… don’t make me worry like that.

I looked all over for you.

Why?

No matter where you are, I’ll make sure to find you.

Oh yeah, ever since we were little…

You always found me, Nii-san.

But, that bell seems to be very important to Nemu-chan, so I can’t ask her to take it off (nya).

Finally, Nemu-chan’s biggest secret, is that she can go into “dark” mode (nya).

Nemu, let’s have lunch together!

Err… could you buy me one?

I’m terribly sorry, but unfortunately I only have just enough for myself.

That cold attitude…

And her sudden change of speech…

I guess the “dark” Nemu came out.

Jyunichi secretly calls this the “dark” Nemu, and is afraid of it (nya).

Tomorrow, I’m gonna do a double attack with the economics text book and the encyclopedia!

(Nya) Whatever she says, deep down she really likes her Nii-san (nya).

Utamaru! Are you napping in the sun up there?

I wanna do it too!

Nya.

Yoshino Sakura

Yoshino Sakura-chan.

She’s a 9th grader in middle school (nya).

She’s 134 cm tall and weighs 31 kg.

Her three sizes are: 68 - 51 - 72.

Sakura-chan hasn’t grown the past six years (nya).

I tried to honor Onii-chan’s request and wore a school swimsuit!

If you ask “Why doesn’t she grow?”

I only know it has something to do with the magic of the ever-blossoming sakura trees (nya).

She looks like… a rabbit!

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, Asakura siblings?

Speaking of magic, Sakura-chan’s grandma is a mage (nya).

I’m sure that Sakura-chan has a magic cape and a broom somewhere (nya).

I would like to see her dressed like a mage once (nyaa).

It’s been a while since I saw your magic.

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

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

Well then, I guess I better get going.

Oh yeah, Utamaru! There’s this new catfood!

Let’s go get some later!

The only good catfood is the Rokugorou-san brand (nya).

Sakura-chan doesn’t seem to realize that (nya).

That’s Shirakawa Kotori-chan (nya).

It seems that another guy is asking her out today (nya).

Shirakawa Kotori

Kotori-chan is currently a 9th grader (nya).

Height: 157 cm, weight: 41 kg.

Her three sizes from the top are: 83 - 55 - 84.

A very balanced proportion that deserves the title “school idol” (nya).

Whenever I listen to Kotori-chan sing… I feel so at ease (nya).

Aside from that, I was really surprised.

Eh? About what?

That the school idol, Shirakawa-san…

Actually came swimming with us, when Nii-san invited you.

That’s not true.

But the truth is, Kotori was hesitating when Suginami-kun invited her.

Do you think, that was what did it…

That someone she likes was going?

Stop it, you two!

Don’t be shy now.

Ohh… whatever!

The two that worry most about the lonely Kotori-chan…

Are her childhood friends, Mi-kun, and Tomo-chan (nya).

Um…

Um… Would you like to trade?

Trade?

My misery for your happiness?

Oh, it’s you Shirakawa.

So, do you wanna trade?

Ohh! That’s the elusive Yakisoba-pan brothers!

Kotori-chan likes Choco-rolls and Danish pastries (nya).

She can even eat 2 crepes in one sitting…

She’s a real sweet tooth (nya).

Another courageous young man was rejected (nya).

Banana!

Bananas…

Hmm… somebody told me there was one around here, but…

That’s Amakase Miharu-chan (nya).

Amakase Miharu

The green ribbon means she’s currently an 8th grader (nya).

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.

Asakura-senpai means a lot to me too.

But… you’re nowhere near Nemu-senpai.

Love love love love…

Let go!

Miharu!

Yes!

You are a dog.

Miharu-chan loves Nemu-chan and follows her around like a dog (nya).

But even Nemu-chan doesn’t know that she’s actually a robot (nya).

Robot…? Me…?

Here is the proof.

Senpai, would you mind winding me up a little bit?

Wind?

That’s right. My main energy sources are solar power and spring power.

Maybe it’s because I was running so frantically earlier, but I’m almost out of energy.

So this hole is for winding up the spring?

Yes, and this is the key.

Please!

I’m still not sure I fully understand it, but all I have to do is put it into this hole, right?

Yes, just stick it in for me!

Q-Quit making weird noises.

I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it.

Here I go.

Yes.

Miharu-chan’s favorite dish is bananas (nya).

If we come to the ocean…

We have to do the “banana race”!

Bananananana!

This is a… banana?

Miharu, will now be tasting…

But if she eats too much, she’ll start smoking… so you have to be careful (nya).

I found it! Here it was!

Nothing beats a fresh banana in the morning.

I think she should cut back a little on the bananas (nya).

Hey, Onee-chan!

Don’t sleepwalk!

Mizukoshi Mako

Mizukoshi Moe

The Mizukoshi siblings: Mako-chan and Moe-chan (nya).

A casserole on the rooftop? Why?

I wonder if they serve banana casseroles at the cafe (nya)?

At times like these…

Casseroles are the best!

It’s the ocean casserole with plenty of nutrients.

In this hot weather?

So, Moe-senpai… was serious?

Onee-chan, do you smell something?

I wonder what it is?

It smells like a sweaty sock?

Oh, that’s the Shattsuru Nabe.

Wah! This is it!

It’s so strong…

Shattsuru is written: salt, fish, and soup.

salt

fish

soup

Mako-chan, this scent is the Miso.

Oh, when I say Miso, I’m not referring to the soy bean paste…

But the seasoning consisting of salted fish left to fermentate.

Onee-chan, don’t fall asleep.

This scent is the soul of the Shattsuru Nabe.

Here, eat up!

It’s good!

The Mizukoshi siblings are known for their preference for nabe (nya).

As we recap through the events, it’s easy to see how much they like nabe (nya).

The older sister, Mizukoshi Moe-chan…

Is attending the 10th grade in high school (nya).

The navy-blue one-piece and the cream-yellow overcoat,

is adored by all middle school students (nya).

Height: 159 cm, weight: 43 kg.

Three sizes: 87 - 57 - 86. This dynamic body of hers, is also adored by the ladies (nya).

It also seems that the guys adore this body (nya).

Onii-chan!

The very reliable Mako-chan is a 9th grader in middle school (nya).

Sometimes it seems like Mako-chan is the older sister and Moe-chan the younger (nya).

What did you say?

Mako-chan has strength equal to that of a man, but…

She also has a feminine side (nya).

Do you feel sick?

No, I’m fine.

It’s just that you seemed a little down so…

But if it’s nothing, then forget what I just said.

I’m sorry, Mako.

It’s nothing you need to apologize for.

Height: 154 cm, weight: 40 kg.

Her three sizes are 80 - 55 - 85 (nya).

And we can’t forget about the Mizukoshi-siblings’ little brother.

His full name is Mizukoshi Tomoya (nya).

By the way, Asakura-san…

Y-Yes!?

What kind of relation do you have with my sisters?

Well then… please take care of my sister from here on out.

However, if you make her cry, I’m not going to hold back.

He seems to really care about his sisters (nya).

Onee-chan, you’re sleeping again!

There was also one more person (nya).

Sagisawa Yoriko-chan (nya).

It seems that she’s gotten pretty used to the chores of a maid…

But she is still scared of the outside world, so she never sets a foot outside the house (nya).

Sagisawa Yoriko

Height: unknown, weight: unknown.

She looks like a human,

but Utamaru can tell, she and I are the same.

Hey, are you all right?

Yes.

After being saved by Jyunichi-kun, Yoriko-chan decided to live at the Asakura residence (nya).

Please let me work here as a maid.

Please help me!

Jyunichi-san!

May I ask… what is this?

Everyone, how is it?

It’s sweet, bitter and it’s really slimy!

It stings my eyes… what is this?

Um… boiled tofu, I think…

It seems that Yoriko-chan is trying to repay Jyunichi by being a maid but…

If I were her, I’d gently put a sardine’s head under his pillow (nya).

It also wards off evil (nya)!

Yoriko-san!

Nonetheless, Jyunichi isn’t expecting her to return the favor at all.

Could this be… Yoriko-san’s…?

Which would mean right now… Yoriko-san is…

He seems to be satisfied just because he has a cat-eared live-in maid (nya).

I guess I’ll start heading home now (nya).

I’m late again!

That’s Asakura Jyunichi (nya).

Asakura Jyunichi

Ahh, who cares about the guys.

I guess I’ll go home and have some Rokugorou-san brand catfood…

While enjoying my youth (nya).

Preview

The mysterious poem and red roses, addressed to Nemu.

There’s someone out there, watching us.

The identity of this scary stalker is!!

Nii-san… I’m scared.

Don’t let go.

Hold me… tightly.

Nemu, I promise… I will protect you.

Go, Utamaru!

This means, Utamaru is playing a huge role in the next episode too, right (nya-nya)?
