This is grave. This is grave indeed.

This would mean my planet is in danger.

Not just my planet, but also Earth.

Hurry! Make haste!

We must lead the Princess to this planet as soon as possible!

The prophesied princess... Lady Himawari.

Hey, hey, Mom.

What is it, Shin-chan?

I want some you-know-what.

I-know-what?

Come on. Don't make me have to say it.

Don't talk in such a disgusting tone, just tell me what you want.

You know, the desert.

The desert?

I think he's talking about dessert.

Correct, that's the one! I still have one from yesterday, no?

The pudding.

Sure, since you had your lunch.

My dear pudding, have you been lonely?

I haven't been available lately. Sorry for neglecting you.

Poo-poo pudding! Poo-poo pudding!

Poo-poo pudding! Poo-poo pudding!

Poo-poo pudding...

No! This is mine!

You had yours yesterday, Hima!

Shin-chan, don't be selfish. Share with Himawari.

No can do! This beloved pudding has been waiting for me since yesterday!

Shinnosuke, behave like a proper older brother.

A good sibling would share one spoonful.

Having a little sister is full of sacrifices.

Okay, Hima. Open up.

That's it.

What the... My pudding...

Shinnosuke, did you give her some?

Shinnosuke, what are you doing?

Look at this!

This is your snack!

EGG BISCUITS

Okay, open up and...

Shinnosuke, what do you think you're doing?

Hey, that's mine!

Do you think taking your sister's snack is something a good brother would do?

But she took mine first!

No buts!

No snacks until you apologize!

But Hima took my...

Shinnosuke, a good brother wouldn't make his sister cry!

I don't want to be her brother anymore!

"Nohara." This is the place. I'm sure of it.

We managed to find her before the Hima Matter was depleted.

Gettsu, thanks for taking me here.

To think the prophesied princess was in my assigned area!

Even after living here for ten years, that thought never once crossed my mind.

I don't need a sister!

I don't need Himawari!

Did you just say Lady Himawari?

Did you say she's your sister?

What? Who are you guys?

So, you're Lady Himawari's brother?

Brother? Sure I am.

But she's not a lady, she's a brat.

I'm here to babysit your sister!

Pardon us!

Can we babysit Lady Himawari?

Sure, just take her away!

Are they with the delivery services?

But we didn't call for them.

So, where is Lady Himawari?

There she is!

She's adorable.

So, she's the prophesied princess.

But wait! We mustn't be careless.

We may have another wrong Himawari.

Be still, my beating heart.

Excuse me. Who are you people?

What do you want with our Himawari?

Point and confirm! Here, in Kasukabe!

- Kasukabe. - Kasukabe!

- Is your baby a girl? - A girl?

What? Yes, she is.

- And her name is Himawari? - Himawari?

What if it is?

- Then lastly... - Lastly...

Pardon my discourtesy.

She's the one! The stars aligned a perfect "Hi" and "Ma"!

This baby is...

This baby is the prophesied princess, our Lady Himawari!

Wait! What are you doing to Himawari?

If you don't stop, I'm calling the police!

You must be the biological father.

How lucky you are.

Why are you crying?

Which one of you gave such a beautiful name to Lady Himawari?

That would be me. What of it?

So it was you.

What a remarkable brother.

Then, as the name giver, please sign here.

What? My signature? This is embarrassing.

SHINNOSUKE NOHARA

Here!

SPACE CONTRACT

The contract is in effect.

And this is your copy.

Wait, what contract?

Show me!

I, the first party,

hereby grant the Himawarians, the second party,

full custody of the Earthling Himawari Nohara.

What the heck?

What's that supposed to mean? What's this all about?

Well, then, Gettsu. Thanks for all your help.

Once you get back, please send me lots of Hima Matter. I don't have much left.

Sure, will do.

Then let me take you all to the banquet.

Banquet?

I wonder if Shin-chan is home.

Today we'll be playing house together, so he'd better be.

What role will he be playing today?

Obviously,

Shin-chan will be a brokenhearted old man, desperately doing hula dances

out of unbearable loneliness after his daughter Kaguya returns to the moon!

What?

Whoa, alien abduction.

What happened? What's going on?

Please, make yourselves comfortable and have a seat.

We'll arrive in about an hour.

Until then, you can have these.

Where are we going?

Who are you people?

How careless I've been!

I'm the Careless Minister of Planet Himawari, Uranasbin!

And I will be taking you to Planet Himawari!

Himawari?

Careless Minister? You've gotta be kidding me!

Abducting us with your freaky tricks! What are you gonna do to us?

- Hey, Dad. Look! - What now?

Shinnosuke! Oh, no, Hima!

How careless I've been!

Lady Himawari, you'll be safe from harm here.

- Hima... How do I stop? - Darling, stop!

Stinks!

So, mister, are you an alien?

You can say so since I'm an Himawarian.

I'm Earthling Shinnosuke Nohara, and I'm five years old.

Yes, I know. Pleased to meet you.

Why are you laughing?

I'm crying.

All I've been through has paid off.

I've been searching the whole Earth for Lady Himawari.

The clue was a prophecy that said, "By the grace of the Hima constellation,

our princess shall be born in the land of Kasukabe."

We searched every place called Kasukabe in Earth.

It took us many years.

Duh, you should have just come to our place.

Now that I've found Lady Himawari,

both Earth and Planet Himawari can have plenty of Hima Matter. Rejoice!

Hima what now?

Lady Himawari is the hope of our solar system.

I'm so grateful you signed the contract.

She's merely my useless sister,

but if she can be useful to your Hima thingy, then that would be great.

Yes, sir!

KASUKABE POLICE BOX

- It's true! - Listen to us!

- The UFO came from the sky... - I saw it with my own eyes!

- It took off like zoom! - It really happened!

They totally didn't take us seriously.

Obviously, no one would believe an alien abduction in broad daylight.

How did no one else see that?

If we don't act, someone else may get abducted!

Stop! What if my family's next?

Then we've got no choice.

From Kasukabe Defense Force to Earth Defense Force.

Yeah.

Earth Defense Force! Fire!

That jerk.

What's he trying to pull showing us this CGI footage?

Probably just some gimmick, like the ones in amusement park rides.

Maybe he's moving us in some modified truck or something.

But I can't feel any bumps.

We'll be arriving shortly.

Whoa, Dad, Mom, look at that!

What?

PLANET HIMAWARI

What is this place? This doesn't look like Japan.

It's got to be special effects. You know, CGI graphics, silly.

Based on how much time's passed, we should be near Kawasaki or Yokohama.

Dad, look! UFOs!

They looked a bit flat for 3D effects.

Hey, wait!

Please follow me.

Welcome!

- Shin-chan! - Hey, wait!

Shin-chan!

Whoa, Dad! Look, aliens!

Must be holograms.

Lady Himawari, Shinnosuke and company, welcome...

...to Planet Himawari!

- Wait, this feels too real. - Yeah.

Everyone, may I have your attention?

The hope of our solar system, Lady Himawari, has just landed!

Wait, what? We're on TV?

Hey, hey, missy.

Which do you prefer, instant noodles in round or square packaging?

You must be Shinnosuke. I'm glad to meet you.

You know me?

Yes, since you're Lady Himawari's name giver.

No, I'm not a fart giver.

Name giver, as in someone who named someone else.

Such a good boy.

Yes, you are!

Nah, the name's nothing special.

Himawari means "one who circles the sun." It's such a powerful name.

I'll carry your luggage, if you have any.

Since when do kidnapped victims have luggage?

Kidnapped, you say?

Please don't make false accusations.

There hasn't been a single crime on this planet in 300 years.

False accusations? Not a single crime?

None, whatsoever!

You kidnapped an entire family! What are you talking about?

What do you want, and what are you planning to do to us?

Yeah! Return us to our home now!

- We're going home already? - Shinnosuke!

It would seem the Nohara Family hasn't fully grasped the situations.

Careless Minister, have you properly explained everything?

I'm terribly sorry, I've been careless because we didn't have much time on Earth.

No need to worry, our king shall explain everything at the palace.

King?

King, CEO, whatever. They'd better start explaining.

Right this way please.

No need to be shy.

What kind of attitude is that after dragging us all the way here?

Something smells nice.

Let's depart!

HIMAWARI PALACE

Lady Himawari and her entourage have arrived!

Apologies for the delay.

Behold, King Sunday Goroneski!

What's he doing lazing around like that?

Lady Himawari, thank you for gracing our planet with your presence.

We have been awaiting your arrival.

What?

Welcome, Nohara family!

I am the king of this planet, Sunday Goroneski.

It's truly inexcusable that my minister failed to explain anything.

Enough with the apologies!

We just want to go home, right now.

No need to be so hasty. We've still got time to spare.

I will explain everything.

Hey, Goro. Do you curl your beard yourself every day?

- Hey, don't! - Shinnosuke!

Are you Master Shinnosuke, the one who named Lady Himawari?

Wow, I'm impressed you know about me.

You must be hungry.

I am.

Prepare the feast!

Whoa, that's a lot of meat buns!

It's mostly just buns.

Oh, my.

A blackout?

Lady Himawari and company.

Please enjoy this well-balanced and nutritious full course meal.

First, let me introduce the ministers of this planet.

Welcome to our planet, Lady Himawari

We're glad to have you here Tra, la, la

We're the ministers Of this Planet Himawari

Tra, la, la

Careless Minister Uranasbin

Handsome Minister Mazumazu

Bellboy Minister Mokkun!

Ejection Minister Makyun

Chitchat Minister Kinkin

Slumber Minister Voinda

Here on Planet Himawari

We're Goroneski's administration council Tra, la, la

Pleased we are to have you here Tra, la, la

Hima, Hima, tra, la, tra, la, la

What the...

Was that supposed to be an introduction?

And now, allow me to explain everything.

This is our solar system.

This is the planet where you reside.

And behind the sun, on the other side of your Earth,

is its twin, the Planet Himawari where we live.

- Planet... - ...Himawari?

Planet Himawari?

And we are its inhabitants for eons,

the Himawarians!

Himawarians, he said.

Believe it or not, the number of other living beings in space is enormous.

We live in harmony among the interconnected stars.

But I've never heard of Planet Himawari.

Our planet is completely invisible to Earth's telescopes

because it exists in a different dimension.

Different dimension? Give me a break.

This brings us to the real issue.

A major crisis threatens both our planets.

Everyone, don't you think the tension's been rising in your neighborhood lately?

What?

Please, take a look!

Matsuzaka-sensei and Yoshinaga-sensei!

Isn't this an invasion of privacy?

Now that you mention it...

Maybe it's been a little tense lately.

Isn't this just normal?

Hasn't there been more conflicts in your house?

Yeah, Shinnosuke had one this morning.

With Himawari.

This tension has been caused by the lack of Hima Matter!

Hima Matter?

Hima what now?

Hima Matter is the soothing energy produced by the planet.

It's the time that helps your body and soul relax.

Doesn't "Hima" just come from the word "free time" in Japanese?

No, it's not the same as time spent doing nothing.

Hima Matter is something that replenishes over time.

Hima Matter is time, matter and energy.

Hima Matter is just like mother's milk.

It's tranquility, life and love.

The solar system used to be overflowing with Hima Matter.

Do you understand now?

It would seem Shinnosuke has understood.

The universe is built on balance.

The Earth and Planet Himawari have shared Hima Matter since the beginning of time.

But over time, the amount of Hima Matter has kept decreasing,

and Earth has already used up its share.

The Hima Matter from our world no longer reaches Earth sufficiently.

And so, we've sent undercover emissaries

to various places on Earth

to secretly share Hima Matter from our planet.

But even then, it wasn't enough.

It's not enough!

What happens if the planet doesn't have enough Hima Matter?

That's a good question, Master Shinnosuke.

Lay your eyes on this projection of Earth in two years!

Wow, look at all these wrinkles.

And I've got more pimples.

Darling, why are you drinking in the morning?

Hurry up and go to work!

Who cares about work?

You're where Shinnosuke gets his idiocy from!

What did you say?

A world lacking Hima Matter is utter chaos!

Die! Die!

Take this! And this! And this!

You've gone and trampled my garden, haven't you?

Don't talk to me until you shave off that ridiculous perm, you idiot!

- What did you say? - Take him down!

I knew you threw away my figure collection!

Well, it's trash!

People will suffer from overwork and stress,

and small disputes will escalate into major wars.

What is it?

- Your sideburns are so darn annoying! - Excuse me?

- You scum! - Let the bodies hit the floor!

Consequently, we the twin planet will ultimately suffer a similar fate.

Eventually, the Earth...

and Planet Himawari...

shall be obliterated!

No way.

Obliterated? That escalated fast.

If the calculations made by our ancient astronomers are correct,

the extinction of the human race shall happen in 200 years and 202 seconds.

That's a relief. I was worried you'd say everyone was going to die.

- But that's what he meant. - Really?

Extinction! Mass extinction!

Why are you laughing if it's such a big problem?

Shouldn't something be done before it's too late?

Think of the children!

That's right, I worry for our children!

Exactly!

Stop laughing! So, what is your plan?

There has to be a way.

Yes, there is.

Then tell us already!

Yeah, stop dragging it out.

What do we do?

The answer lies in a prophecy passed down through generations on this planet.

When the twin planet is in trouble

Look for the princess!

There they go with another song.

Just sing already.

Now listen, our grandchildren and beyond

To what your grandfather is saying

When trouble arises

Search for the princess on the twin planet

Tra, la, la, la, la, la Tra, la, la, la, la, la

Tra, la, la, la, la, la Tra, la, la, la, la, la!

In the great land of Kasukabe

One brother will become the name giver

When the constellation Forms "Hi" and "Ma"

The princess shall be born

Tra, la, la, la, la, la Tra, la, la, la, la, la

Tra, la, la, la, la, la Tra, la, la, la, la, la!

Under the starry glyph of "Hi" and "Ma,"

our princess shall be born with our planet's name.

By gracing our planet with her presence,

the twin planets shall regain their balance.

The reservoir of Hima Matter shall be restored,

thus leading to the salvation of our solar system.

International conflicts, energy crisis, social problems and economic woes,

all resolved.

And beyond that,

all illnesses, including headaches, stiff shoulder,

menstrual cramps, knee pain,

heart burns, stomachaches, asphyxia and such shall be healed!

Your introverted son shall come out and play!

Your angsty and gloomy daughter shall smile again!

Family discord, bankruptcy and debt will be wiped away!

Everything will be resolved!

Tra, la, la, la, la, la Tra, la, la, la, la, la!

When our twin planet is in trouble

Search for Lady Himawari

If she comes to Planet Himawari

Everything will be resolved!

Cue the Lazy Release

Cue the Lazy Release!

Lazy Release?

We have been searching for the prophesied princess for a long time.

The one we were looking for is your daughter.

Lady Himawari is majestic!

That's all well and good, but...

Hey, Goro. What did they mean by Lazy Release?

There's actually more to the prophecy.

When the Lazy Sage of true Himawari spirit returns...

he will sync with the princess, and the bubble will burst,

unleashing chaos as the moon turns to gold.

When the cosmic sunflower blooms...

the Lazy Release shall bathe the solar system in boundless free time.

I have no idea what it means.

Master Namegiver, you are blessed in Hima Matter.

Perhaps you have the foresight to know who this Lazy Sage is?

Nah, I don't know any Lazy Sage-chan.

All I know is that I'm Lazy Shin-chan!

Wait, darling. Where is Himawari?

- What? She's not here? - Where is she?

Himawari!

Himawari!

Hey, what is going on?

Don't put my daughter on stage, damn it!

I'm so glad I gave birth to a girl.

Are you okay with this?

She looks truly majestic.

I always thought a dress like this would suit her.

Really? It's a bit too plain for me.

What are you even wearing?

They told me they really wanted me to wear it.

What if this is one of those aggressive clothes marketing tactics?

Everything is free for you to take.

We can't express how grateful we are to both Lady Himawari and her name giver.

Grateful, but why?

Lady Himawari's mere presence on this planet will bring us salvation!

Earthlings and Himawarians can now rest assured.

Rest assured!

Isn't that great? That's our daughter!

Yeah, right.

Well, then. Let's take some pictures.

- Over here! - Here!

Please, the family should join her.

This sure feels like an amusement park.

Well, one picture can't hurt.

Are we ready?

We're lady!

We're ready.

Come on, Himawari. Look there.

All right, say "free time"!

Oh, dear, I hope they got my good side.

I know I nitpicked a lot earlier, but I get where you're coming from now.

You should have just explained it from the get-go.

Yeah, we're surprised, but we're glad we can be useful.

Darling, it's time.

Right.

Can we request a ride home?

This concludes your family time.

Himawari?

Wait!

The family may proceed this way.

No way. Hurry!

- Hey! - Shinnosuke!

- I see Hima! - Is she there?

My dearest Himawarians!

I thank you for gathering here today!

The moment we've been waiting for has finally arrived!

The prophecy will now be fulfilled.

The one who will provide salvation for our twin planets,

our princess, Lady Himawari, has graced us with her presence!

She has been born!

Princess! Princess!

The princess has been born!

This is the princess, Himawari!

Hima's kind of a big deal now!

Himawari!

What are they doing to my daughter?

Rejoice! Lady Himawari shall forever be in our presence!

Forever?

What the heck? What are you talking about?

We're going home!

Can't we stay a bit longer?

Now then, Lady Himawari. Please let us hear your voice!

Lady Himawari!

A hot guy squad!

Himawari.

Lady Himawari,

please bestow the power of your great name upon our planet!

Look!

- It's Hima Matter! - Hima Matter!

- It's Hima Matter! - Hima Matter!

Such greatness!

This is indeed the power of the ancient solar system.

What we're witnessing... is the true Hima Matter!

The one who will save our twin planets is Lady Himawari!

Lady Himawari! Grant us Hima Matter!

Grant Hima Matter to our twin planet Earth too!

May we be blessed forever with Hima Matter!

May everyone be blessed with free time!

Look at how euphoric the city is, welcoming Lady Himawari!

- The whole planet is flooded with joy! - Wow, Himawari is everywhere!

Master Namegiver!

Our Himawari.

Why? What's happening?

Lady Himawari!

Next up, we'll ask the opinions of the dwellers of Moenee Mountain.

Let's talk to the elders.

Elder, what do you think about Lady Himawari's parade?

I express gratitude to Lady Himawari

for bringing peace to our planet and its twin.

Indeed. Everyone on this planet is celebrating.

That's all for today.

This is your host Hatorishin from Himawari Bird, signing off.

Is it possible that we're dreaming?

If we were, they wouldn't be here.

Master Namegiver, do you find this cottage to your satisfaction?

Don't you have something more interesting on TV?

Wait, isn't "Handsome Men's Room" airing today?

Hima will cry if she doesn't watch it.

If you're worried, we can see Lady Himawari on the special channel.

Hima!

After the parade, our princess is still in high spirits.

She's enjoying her time with the Handsome Men Brigade.

She's not crying.

Our planet's method of child care

is at least 300 years more advanced than yours.

We have carefully selected handsome men as Lady Himawari's attendants, so worry not.

And with these tickets,

you can participate in Lady Himawari's meet and greet.

Tickets?

Why would I need tickets to see my own daughter?

That's right! Instead of letting us go home,

you split us up and took our daughter from us!

But that was one of the clauses in the contract signed by the name giver.

So what if the name giver signed it? A document signed by a child is invalid!

We are Himawari's parents, so the contract is void!

Parents?

Parents are something that eventually vanish from a child's life.

A child does not belong to their parents, but to the universe.

That's not true!

Everyone was born from the stars.

Wouldn't that make Earth your parent?

That's a bit too heavy, man.

However, the name giver is eternal.

Through a name, the planet retains energy.

That's the absolute love that wraps and fills the universe.

That's right.

In that case, Shinnosuke can undo it.

Hey, Shin-chan. Don't you think it's strange that Himawari is a princess?

You want to go home, right?

What? Not really.

Shinnosuke!

What are you talking about?

I mean, I'm someone who enjoys being alone.

And I like not sharing my snacks.

Himawari looks happy being among hot guys and jewelry.

The name giver has made a wise decision for the sake of the solar system.

I'm an Earthling, after all.

For the record, Mr. Nohara,

from our perspective, Earth is still a primitive planet.

Hey, that's uncalled for!

Are you saying that your world doesn't have its problems?

No!

Indeed, it's as you say.

Why not look at this from the perspective

of the universe's future, not just your family's?

Well, then, I must take my leave. Please enjoy your free time.

You too, Goro!

I wish you a good free time.

Don't forget to wipe your butts!

I don't think he understands what he's done.

How could you miss that?

I'm sorry!

This is nothing compared to an alien attack!

Yes, ma'am!

What merit does this training have?

Mister, what are you doing?

I'm working.

There's Hima Matter in these bubbles.

When I pop it, everyone on Earth feels better.

Feels better?

But since we've found the princess,

it won't be long until plenty of Hima Matter reaches Earth

and Earth attains peace.

Isn't that great?

I can't say any more, or I'll be breaking the Outer Space Treaty.

Here, you can have this.

I wonder if I'll receive my orders to return home soon.

I can feel it.

Those who wish to visit the princess, please come this way!

Visit the princess?

Can we see Himawari?

As long as you have tickets.

Wait a minute! I've got them somewhere...

Shinnosuke, wake up! We're visiting Himawari!

Here it is!

Go without me.

What?

Hey! Wait for us!

Get up now!

Another one is coming!

- We're leaving. - Listen to me!

- Shinnosuke, be good! We'll be back soon! - Think you can mess with us Earthlings?

Plenty of free time this morning, right, Shinnosuke?

You said it, Eeta Wasabin.

It's Uranasbin.

What do you want?

I came here to check up on you!

Starting from today, I shall serve as the Namegiver's Caretaking Minister!

Barebutting Minister?

Caretaking Minister.

In other words, a minister who has fun with you.

What an easy task for an adult.

Can't you at least act a bit more excited?

It'll soon be the princess's first official duty.

Yes, I'm seriously pampering Lady Himawari as the Slumber Minister.

I can't take my eyes off her!

Lady Himawari sure is cute, huh?

Voinda-chan's been on this whole time!

So that's what you're talking about.

They didn't say we'd be lumped in with the general public.

I know, right? This is no way to treat the parents!

Viewers of Himawari Channel!

Today is a day to remember.

Lady Himawari will embark on her first official duty.

- The Chitchat Minister Kinkin will report. - Himawari.

There she is!

- Where? - There!

There she is!

Himawari!

Mom's here! Mom's over here!

Lady Himawari!

She sure is cute.

Truly a fitting princess.

- That's it? - That was barely a second!

- Hey, she's coming again. - Where?

Did you see her?

No, not at all!

Lady Himawari will pass us one more time.

What? Just once more?

Hold on, are you sure this tour isn't a scam?

Wait!

What is it?

Don't tell me you're going to...

Lady Himawari will greet everyone now!

No, stop. You'll die!

Mom's over here!

Princess!

Himawari! Himawari!

You must have been lonely!

It's going to be okay now!

Lady Himawari!

Himawari.

She looks happy, just like Shinnosuke said.

Mr. and Mrs. Nohara, we can't have you being so reckless.

Please, give us Himawari back!

The princess is no longer exclusively yours.

She is now the princess of this planet.

Enough! I'll take her back by force!

Darling!

Mr. Nohara, no one would even think of using force on this planet.

Next time you act recklessly, I will use my authority to banish you!

Get back here!

Himawari!

Let's head that way for now.

This planet is the worst.

What should we eat now?

Won't you gain more weight?

Don't mind me. Just tell me if there is something you'd like.

Okay!

This is Hima's snacks!

That's our planet's nutritional food.

It was introduced to Earth and became a snack for babies.

Oh, my! If it isn't Master Namegiver and the Careless Minister!

Please try our egg biscuits.

Thank you!

You're welcome!

She sure is a generic old lady.

Don't you mean a generous old lady?

It's so far.

Yeah.

Are you people okay?

Are you tired?

What are you doing here?

We're just...

Want some star-berries?

Go ahead, this is something we grew ourselves.

Thank you.

These are some big strawberries.

They're star-berries, not strawberries.

Right, star-berries.

Star-berries, okay.

Thanks.

It's good.

Really sweet.

Right? Right?

Did you guys go to the palace yesterday?

Or were you watching on TV?

Himawari?

Yes, Lady Himawari.

She sure is cute.

Right? Yes, yes.

Where did you come from?

We're from Earth.

What?

That Earth?

Isn't that our planet's twin?

The one under a Hima Matter crisis?

You can rest easy now since Lady Himawari is finally here.

That's right.

Yeah.

Well, take it easy.

They are so kind.

Yeah.

I can't help feeling relaxed.

Yeah.

I'm going to be AWOL from work today.

I should call my office.

Himawari looked fine without us.

I know a daughter will eventually go off on her own,

but I didn't expect this so soon.

Darling...

I don't want to admit it either, but...

with skies this clear and no crime,

when I think about Himawari's future

and compare this place to Earth,

it really does seem better here.

Don't say that.

If we're the parents of a daughter who saved two planets,

we can brag a bit to our neighbors at home.

But why must it be our daughter?

- It's still hard for me to accept this. - I know.

Hey, you!

We're going to the palace to deliver these star-berries!

Want to come with us?

- Here you are. - Is this all mine?

Poo-poo pudding! Poo-poo pudding!

This is our special Himafull Pudding, which is full of nutrition.

Everyone loves their Hima here, don't they?

Here.

I can feel the Hima melting in my mouth!

You sure are someone who gets the concept of Hima.

But in ancient times, Earth used to have a lot more Hima Matter.

EARTH

HIMAWARI

SUN

Back then our planets shared the Hima Matter equally.

But somehow the Earth became too dependent on the Hima Matter

and depleted our share.

How greedy can you be?

That Delivery Center is delivering Hima Matter to Earth as we speak

so that they don't run out of it.

Earth is such a pain, huh?

But if Earth stabilizes, then this planet will too.

I mean, we're twin planets.

Hi, we're here to deliver snacks!

Tons of sweets specially manufactured for Lady Himawari!

Please.

What about this?

Oh, dear, she doesn't seem to be eating anything.

I wonder if it's not up to her liking.

I see, I wonder what she would eat.

Hima likes pudding.

Pudding?

I don't mind sharing some of this with her.

Wait, where are you taking that?

To Hima.

But you can't meet her without an appointment!

Lady Himawari is the most influential person in the solar system now!

But I'm the name giver.

And who's my Barebutting Minister again?

It's Caretaking Minister.

You call yourself a minister but refuse to serve.

Maybe someone needs to get fired.

Come on!

- Shinnosuke must be worried about us. - Yeah.

Shinnosuke!

He's been kidnapped! We shouldn't have left him behind!

Damn that eggplant head!

That! Follow that!

- Which one? - Hurry, please!

But this is the fastest we can go.

Maybe she wants to sleep.

Lady Himawari is in a bad mood.

Slumber Minister Voinda has ordered an afternoon walk to soothe her.

Poo-poo pudding! Poo-poo pudding!

How unexpected! A surprise visit from Master Namegiver!

Careless Minister, what are you doing?

- Protect the princess. - Yes, ma'am!

- Hey, Hima! I brought you a snack! - Master Shinnosuke!

Hey, Shiro!

Shiro is getting detoxed!

You mean deluxed.

- We're really sorry. - Are you okay?

Don't worry, it's nothing. This way, right?

Thanks for your help.

Don't worry about it.

We'll sneak in here and search for Shinnosuke.

Yeah.

We're delivering the star-berries!

- Here you are! - Look at that!

Shinnosuke?

He's fighting.

- That's outside the palace. Let's go! - Okay!

- Shinnosuke! - Wait up!

Stop it! Stop it!

Why are you going after me?

You can't be here, Master Namegiver!

But I'm just giving a snack to Hima!

Don't come here!

Hey, Hima!

I've brought you a snack!

Poo-poo pudding!

This is not good.

Himawari!

Out of the way, you Himawarians!

What are you doing?

We're protecting the princess!

I'm not bullying her!

Hima!

Master Namegiver, please cease this foolery.

Stop! Let me go! What are you doing?

Shinnosuke!

What are you doing to my boy?

Let Shinnosuke go!

What is this?

Heave-ho!

Ouch!

Mom, Dad!

Shinnosuke!

Don't come any closer, you soy boys!

I thought they were going to take you too.

I just came to deliver Hima a snack.

I see, this must be confusing for you.

You people sure are annoying.

You can meet Lady Himawari during her official tour in three years.

- Tour? - In three years?

I've had enough.

Quit clowning around! No one's waiting three years, you morons!

Give us Himawari back now!

- Please stop! - Three years?

Heave-ho!

You're banished!

Calm down, calm down. It's okay. Good girl, calm down.

A rampage worthy of the history books. They're a menace to our society.

I've sent Master Namegiver and the biological parents back to Earth.

I see, good work.

I can't say I don't understand their feelings.

But we need them to understand the problem this solar system is facing.

You hooligans! Give Himawari back!

Hey!

- Get back here! - Don't leave!

- Give Himawari back! - You morons!

Good morning! Mrs. Nohara?

SPACE CONTRACT

I'm going to kindergarten.

Hey, it's Shin-chan.

- Shin-chan! - Are you real?

- Are you okay? - Yeah.

Didn't a UFO kidnap you?

- Did you see aliens? - Yeah.

What did they look like?

Just like humans, but their earlobes are longer.

What?

Shin-chan, what about your family?

Shinnosuke?

What? Methods to void a contract?

You mean like a cooling-off period?

Yeah, fooling off couple!

Since you often buy bad deals, I thought you would know.

Well, I do have some facial beauty devices gathering dust at home.

Usually, you can file a complaint within eight working days.

The key is to file a complaint as soon as possible.

Shinnosuke, what did your mom buy?

- Shin-chan! - Shinnosuke!

Mom, Dad! I'm home!

Shinnosuke, look at this.

Somehow we can watch Lady Himawari Channel from here.

What a pretty beach.

Shin-chan, they said they'd come pick us up again once your dad retires.

Then we can live together again.

When will that be?

In 30 years, I'm looking forward to it already.

That's too long! We'll be outside the fooling off couple period!

We need to go now!

What the heck is a fooling off couple? Who are you talking about?

What should we do?

Shin-chan, Mom and Dad tried to get help.

The police, the city office, the Prime Minister's Office,

the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and an international call to NASA.

But no one would take us seriously!

Dad...

Hima!

Shin-chan looked depressed.

Of course. His sister got left behind in space.

I wouldn't be able to handle it.

There's no way to bring her back.

But Kazama-kun's family rented a yacht before.

Could you rent a rocket?

That's impossible!

The earlobes...

...are long!

I think I'm going to have some snacks.

This belongs to Hima.

Hima, thank you.

Hima, I don't think I can come pick you up.

Because I signed my name...

SPACE CONTRACT

Because of this single piece of paper... society is a scary place.

Shinnosuke! Are you here?

- Shinnosuke! There you are! - What is it?

We found him! There's an alien right nearby!

He's there!

He went into the last room on the second floor.

There was a ball floating over his head.

Are you sure?

That seems promising.

He's coming out!

It's that jerk from the other day!

I knew it was you!

You're a Himawarian, aren't you?

Well, I'm...

You came to our house!

We've had nothing but trouble since!

What's with this room?

There's a lot of bubble wrap.

- Hey! - Please don't get violent!

Get us to Planet Himawari.

Just one round trip is fine. Understood?

But that's not possible.

Don't get fussy. It should be easy enough.

You took us there without us even asking two days ago.

That's not possible for me.

Don't lie! Nothing is impossible to you Himawarians.

But I haven't been back to Planet Himawari for ten years!

I'm currently on a long-term off-world assignment here on Earth.

My task is to receive Hima Matter packages sent from Planet Himawari

and bubble wraps

to stabilize the Hima Matter on this planet.

It's not like I have a ship!

But in five years, there will be a cargo ship bringing my replacement.

No way.

All homeward-bound ships were dispatched after Lady Himawari was found yesterday.

The bureaucracy is such a hassle, they won't come even if I call.

Well, this is our solar system we're talking about, so not much can be done.

There's no way at all?

None whatsoever.

But if Lady Himawari is on Planet Himawari,

Earth's Hima Matter will get restored.

Also, networking between Earth and Planet Himawari

is scheduled to begin within the next 30 years.

You'll be free to come and go by then.

Just wait a bit longer.

A bit longer, huh?

What is this hole?

No! Don't touch that!

Stay away from that!

Here, old man.

Thank you.

This is a device to carry packages between Earth and Planet Himawari.

But packages are often lost, so it's dangerous.

If a human goes in, their body might get scrambled

and never return to its original state.

Scrambled?

Becoming space dust!

But it connects to where Hima is?

Yes, it does.

But if you're not a resilient life form, like a cockroach,

there's no way you'll make it through in one piece.

Shinnosuke!

I'm flying.

I'm, I'm...

Wait, who am I again?

Buriburizaemon?

Action Masked Man?

Whoa, so cool!

Now I'll be popular with the pretty girls!

- Shinnosuke! - Shin-chan!

Shin-chan!

I remember. I'm Shinnosuke Nohara, five years old!

I have to go to see the pretty girls!

Shin-chan!

Aren't you her brother?

Right, right.

I need to visit Himawari and demand a fooling off couple!

Where's Himawari?

Where did you come from?

Isn't he the name giver?

I see.

Poo-poo pudding! Poo-poo pudding! Poo-poo pudding!

What the heck is that?

Poo-poo pudding! Poo-poo pudding! Boom!

Poo-poo pudding! Poo-poo pudding! Poo-poo pudding!

Himawari!

I have something to report, King Goroneski.

Master Namegiver has suddenly appeared at the Delivery Center.

What? He used our Earth delivery system?

So it would seem.

Unbelievable. Master Shinnosuke actually pulled it off!

The Princess' mood isn't getting better.

Well, well, frankly she's already tired of us.

Maybe we need to reconsider our careers?

Do you mean we need to disband?

But it's just three days since she arrived here.

Did our handsomeness expire after just three days?

No need to say something so awful.

I mean, we're the chosen Handsome Men Brigade.

Wait, everyone!

What's your take on this, as our leader?

I mean, we should decide together.

Frankly, isn't she a bit too demanding when it comes to handsome men?

I mean, countless babies have fallen for us in the past.

Our track record is squeaky clean.

I see, then...

Ms. Voinda.

Is something wrong?

The king has declared a state of emergency.

We need to evacuate the princess.

Wait!

The sumo dude!

What the heck is sumo?

I'm the Bellboy Minister Mokkun!

Master Shinnosuke, if you think you can get past me, then you're dead wrong!

Are we going to have a sumo match?

Again, what the heck is sumo?

Ready!

This is just sumo.

Isn't it embarrassing for someone your size to wrestle with me?

What did you say?

Who are you to talk, when you've never held back against little Lady Himawari?

Fine, this is a gentleman's duel!

I'm ready!

Here I come!

Wait, no! I'm still in!

I want to forget this quickly.

Wait, let me hop on!

Where to?

To where Himawari is!

There are no longer any trams going that way.

Don't be difficult. Just take me there.

I can't, Master Shinnosuke.

Yesterday, you didn't come to Lady Himawari's first official duty.

But that's boring.

Miss times like this and before you know it, kids are all grown up.

Someone who's lazy like you can't meet Lady Himawari.

My, my.

Now you can't fit through the exit.

But the entrance is as big as you, so you can return to where you came from.

PLEASE EXIT HERE THANK YOU

No, I'm pressing on!

Master Shinnosuke, that's dangerous.

Just give up and go home.

I want to go to Himawari's place!

Himawari!

Ouch. Himawari?

Master Shinnosuke is here!

Kinkin-chan?

Master Shinnosuke, please answer my questions.

Are you really here to take Lady Himawari back?

Obviously I'm here to meet you.

But you screamed "Himawari" earlier.

It was just... a moment of weakness?

Anyway, why are you only looking for Lady Himawari now?

Didn't you sign the contract to have us take care of her?

I was forced to do that by my mom.

Liar!

We know everything!

Tell us the truth!

No human is perfect.

So you're admitting that signing the contract was a mistake?

It was all just so unexpected.

Don't you have any sense of responsibility?

I will do my best not to make the same mistake again!

- He's running away! - Take responsibility!

I will do my best not to make the same mistake again!

What? Am I in space?

It's surprisingly comfortable.

It'd probably be even more comfortable if I just faded away this way.

But I feel like I'm forgetting something.

Right. I need to change Shinnosuke's diaper.

But Shinnosuke isn't that small anymore.

That's it! I remember!

There's a sale at Dobinson! I need to get five pairs of pants for Shinnosuke.

There's a weekend special sale at Sato Kokonokado.

And I need to get 500 grams of mixed ground meat.

Darling, can you watch Himawari?

Darling!

If I fade away here, I won't need to go to work anymore

or pay the mortgage.

I guess nothing matters anymore.

Darling, why are you sleeping?

What? Pipe down already.

Wait, who are you?

Are you drunk? Watch Himawari for me.

Himawari?

That's right! We're here to save Himawari and Shinnosuke!

Darling!

DOBINSON

Wait, what was this again?

The name written on the paper plane that goes the furthest

will be her name.

Ready?

Go!

Good heavens!

I win! Mine wins!

HIMAWARI NOHARA

Shinnosuke.

You gave her a great name.

Himawari will grow up and blossom into a beauty.

Dad!

She'll be a troublemaker for sure.

Then she'll get a boyfriend.

The day she brings him home, I'll want to punch him,

but I'll hold back.

I WON'T GIVE YOU MY DAUGHTER

Look, sit down. Have a drink.

Then I'll listen to his story.

Dad, Mom, thank you for everything...

Mother, what day is today?

But even so, I'll walk her down the aisle.

Walk her down...

Himawari...

No one's taking Himawari from me!

I'll never let anyone...

I'll never let anyone do that!

Darling!

- We did it! - We got to Planet Himawari!

You sure are a handful.

The Ejection Minister's job used to be nothing but free time.

I would like my free time back!

Return my free time!

Just keep saying that!

Yeet! Yeet!

Misae, this way!

We're the ones who want our Hima back!

Don't mess with my family!

What an annoying old man.

Misae, get on!

Can you drive it?

Nothing's impossible if you believe. Now fly!

No way!

Voinda-chan.

I'm the Slumber Minister, Voinda.

The woman who raises every child on this planet.

I've put countless babies to sleep on this bosom.

I think I want to sleep too.

Master Shinnosuke, please don't take away Lady Himawari.

What?

For the sake of this planet and yours, I wish to raise Lady Himawari.

I wish to protect her forever.

But I think that's the same for my parents also.

That's the same?

And yet you said you don't need Lady Himawari.

But I... But... I...

I understand. I will take responsibility.

I will take Himawari's place at your bosom!

Master Shinnosuke?

Shinnosuke!

Don't be ridiculous!

There's nothing here.

There is something there. Look carefully!

Mom, Dad!

Let me teach you a lesson.

If you want to raise kids, go start your own family.

First, go find a partner.

- Why's she acting all high and mighty? - I know, right?

- Let's go. - Understood.

No, Voinda-chan!

Don't worry. You'll find the one soon.

What was that about?

Having big boobs doesn't guarantee happiness.

That's her point?

What is she gloating about?

- You have anything to say? - No, ma'am.

Himawari.

It's suddenly getting dark.

What is that?

Dad?

Mom?

Master Shinnosuke.

Where is Himawari?

Lady Himawari is above us, but you better not go.

Do you insist on going?

If possible, I'd like you to stop here and return home.

For the sake of this planet, of Earth, and for your own good.

I want a fooling off couple, then I'll go home with Himawari.

Aren't you going to stop me?

There's nothing else I can say.

Hurry along then.

Okay.

Goro.

- There he is! - Shin-chan!

Shinnosuke!

So you finally decided to throw up?

You mean show up. What is this?

The universe is a realm of balance.

This sacred chamber is where the balance of tomorrow's solar system is decided.

Master Shinnosuke, name giver to Lady Himawari,

welcome to Himawari Palace's paramount chamber, the Chaotic Balance Room!

I couldn't care less!

Why go through all the trouble to come back here from Earth?

Isn't it obvious?

Return Himawari to us!

I'm here to demand a fooling off couple!

That again?

Fooling off?

Terminate the Hima Matter contract!

You mean the cooling off period?

I'm afraid that's not possible. Now, please leave.

Himawari! Shiro!

What are they doing there?

Shin-chan!

- Himawari, stay put! - We're coming for you!

Shinnosuke, leave the rest to Dad and Mom!

It's dangerous, so just wait down there!

- I'm going first! - Hey!

Himawari?

Idiot, don't come this way!

We need to maintain balance!

Did you all come here just to put yourselves in danger?

So what if it's dangerous?

If it's for our kids, then so be it!

I remember telling you that if Lady Himawari isn't here,

both our planets will be in danger.

And yet, you still insist?

Honestly, no matter how much you explain about space and the planets,

it just doesn't resonate with me.

So you're saying you Earthlings still lack the capacity to comprehend?

Well, sorry.

We don't even know

what will happen a year from now, let alone in a hundred years.

And that's fine for you?

There's no logic to it.

We simply can't be separated right now!

That's just how it is! No one else needs to understand!

I see.

But do you even understand what will happen

if you do as you please in this room?

Dad, Mom!

If you don't exercise regularly, you'll wreck your back!

Now isn't the time for that!

Don't just let go suddenly! You're heavy!

You're heavier!

If you lean that way, the air pressure balance changes.

If you move that, the humidity and tides balance change.

If you move that, the molten lava balance changes.

- Ouch, ouch, ouch! - Ouch, ouch, ouch!

Shinnosuke!

Shinnosuke!

Dad, Mom...

What did you pull my leg for?

Don't let go of that!

Sooner or later, the Hima Matter will be depleted on both this planet and Earth.

Then Earth must depend on its own resources.

So why do we have to hold up this model?

That's no ordinary model.

This room is a manifestation of our solar system's future.

If you let go of that ball, Earth will suffer the same fate tomorrow.

Are you okay with that?

Damn it!

Hima...

Shin-chan!

Where do you think you're going?

To Himawari!

And then what?

I'll know once I'm there!

Hima!

Hima!

- I can't hold it for much longer. - No, don't give up.

- Wait, no! Move your thumb! - My what?

Your thumb is crushing Kasukabe!

- Press your finger in the sea! - Here?

Whatever, you're so nitpicky!

Screw it! Nohara Family, Fire!

- Nohara Family, Fire! - Nohara Family, Fire!

What is that pair doing?

How did Earth end up way over there? Where's King Goroneski?

Look up at Master Namegiver.

He's there!

Himawari!

Grab my hand!

Himawari, Shiro! Grab my legs!

Hurry up!

Your lap dog isn't properly trained.

Hima!

Himawari!

Hima!

Hima!

Shinnosuke!

This is the Solar Room, where only the planet's king is allowed to enter.

Goro, where is Hima?

I can't listen to your request anymore, Namegiver.

Please leave.

I will only leave with Himawari and Shiro!

That's impossible.

It's possible, because I'm Himawari's brother!

So what?

Fine, I'll decide which one it'll be!

I'm the one who gets to decide!

It's not fair if you choose!

Then you decide!

Will you choose your sister over the fate of Earth?

Both are important!

You can't pick both. Which one will you pick over the other?

I need Earth and Himawari! Both are important!

Both are equally important!

This choice will decide the future of the entire solar system!

I decide my own future!

You'll decide your own future? Who do you think you are?

I'm me!

I don't know what that means! Who are you? Where did you come from?

I am Shinnosuke!

Who are you? Where did you come from?

Nohara.

Who?

I am Shinnosuke!

Who from where?

I'm...

Who the hell are you?

I'm... I'm...

I am Earthling Shinnosuke Nohara!

That's a good answer.

Hima.

King Goroneski! Please bring back Master Namegiver!

You are jeopardizing the balance!

I know.

But from here on out, my hands are tied.

Even Lady Himawari is human.

She cannot hold off the extinction of both planets forever.

If that's the case, I want to believe in the boy's decisions.

Hima, it's your brother.

Hima, let's go home together.

I wasn't serious when I said I didn't need you.

Sorry, Hima! I'm sorry!

Come to me!

That's right, this way!

Keep going! You're almost there!

Come to your brother!

Keep going! Just a bit more!

I have you.

Shiro!

Shiro!

Don't cry!

But...

It's too early to cry!

Shiro?

Shiro!

- Shinnosuke! - Hima!

Unbelievable!

The planets have aligned!

Oh, dear!

- King Goroneski! - King Goroneski!

King Goroneski!

All of you, get out of here.

Take the Nohara Family with you.

Understood!

- We must go down as well! - Okay!

What's happening?

Everyone, we need to get out!

- Hurry up! - Don't touch me!

The sun... Our sun...

King Goroneski, hurry!

King Goroneski!

He's still there? He's still there!

Heave-ho!

He will sync with the Princess, and the bubble will burst,

unleashing chaos as the moon turns to gold.

When the Lazy Sage returns...

King Goroneski...

What happened?

Chitchat Minister, prepare a special broadcast.

Understood!

What happened? What's going on?

Excuse our interruption,

but we have an emergency announcement from King Goroneski.

Subjects of Planet Himawari, are you enjoying your free time?

It is I, Sunday Goroneski.

Just now, the prophesied Lazy Release has been

triggered by Lady Himawari and the Lazy Sage.

The Hima Matter produced by the sun

didn't just wrap our planet or its twin, it wrapped the entire solar system.

Our Planet Himawari is now encased within a Hima Matter bubble.

The days of sharing Hima Matter with Earth are over.

From this day forward, all shall carry the will of Hima,

and live in peace and harmony.

I, who revolve around the sun, am Himawari, just as you are too.

Long live the Lazy Release.

The Lazy Release?

Hey, what's going on? Explain!

Lady Himawari's presence is no longer needed on this planet.

She is free to return home with you.

Dad?

The Nohara Family is returning home!

No, I don't want to!

Hurry up and get in!

Aren't you worried about Shin-chan?

But you're the one who said you wanted to protect Earth!

Who lost rock-paper-scissors earlier?

Masao-kun.

- I don't want to! - Hurry up and get in!

No, help me! I don't want to!

Mister...

Shin-chan became bubbles!

That's not possible!

This is... I see...

Lady Himawari did it.

What did Himawari-chan do?

What happened?

Everyone became free.

We'll surely feel lonely once Lady Himawari departs.

Please, we've more than overstayed our welcome!

If you need anything, just visit us on Earth.

We're usually home.

Yes, we shall do that.

What about the fooling off couple?

SPACE CONTRACT SHINNOSUKE NOHARA

Now the contract is void.

Goro, what did you do to my Buriburizaemon?

That was my masterpiece!

My apologies. I'll repay you for it someday.

Well, then, enjoy your free time.

What do you mean by "repay"?

When is "someday"?

When you've grown up, I shall send you something.

I have to wait that long?

Trust me, it won't take as long as you think.

Enjoy your free time!

We'll soon reach Earth.

Thank you.

We got so many things, I feel kind of bad.

I know.

This is nothing for the saviors of the solar system.

Here.

Brother.

Did you just say "brother"?

Dad, Mom! She said "brother"!

Hima called me her brother!

Hima, say it again!

THE END
