Burn! Burn!

Banba, when you bake a sweet potato,

aren't you supposed to put the potato in before you start the fire?

No worries.

Banba's head is on fire!

- Mom, today the Sisterhood and I baked sweet potatoes from Dad's farm.

- Oh, no worries. - Mom, today the Sisterhood and I baked sweet potatoes from Dad's farm.

- Mom, today the Sisterhood and I baked sweet potatoes from Dad's farm.

- Pond! - Mom, today the Sisterhood and I baked sweet potatoes from Dad's farm.

- Nwo blorweez. - Mom, today the Sisterhood and I baked sweet potatoes from Dad's farm.

Quenched!

That smells delicious...

We used to do bonfires all the time as a family, didn't we?

Yeah... Like that day...

Want to gather firewood with me, Tsukimi?

Yeah!

Hey, don't push yourself too hard.

No worries, dear.

Mom, look! There's a bunch of driftwood over here!

Driftwood burns really great, huh? I'll get us a bunch!

Wow, Tsukimi, I'm impressed you know so much!

'Course I do! We had a bonfire last year, too!

Wow, Mom, look how big that one is!

Mom?

That was years ago, but I still can't deal with it.

I still wind up crying over stuff like this.

Days like these, I always want to go see the jellyfish.

are against the redevelopment...

Something to just keep an eye on for now.

Bro!

I've told you not to come in without knocking.

I went into the old man's room, too.

You searched the house again, didn't you?

Yep. But I didn't find Mom's address.

Must be rough on you, brother dear, having to work on your day off.

"Amamizu Station Area Urban Renewal" "'Active City Amamizu' Plan" Must be rough on you, brother dear, having to work on your day off.

"Amamizu Station Area Urban Renewal" "'Active City Amamizu' Plan" What's this?

"Amamizu Station Area Urban Renewal" "'Active City Amamizu' Plan"

That building's part of the area slated for redevelopment.

They're planning to build a high-rise hotel there.

This is no time to eat potatoes!

Put them down! Everybody put down your potato!

Now look at this!

These are top-secret documents!

They say in the redevelopment two years from now,

this place will get turned into a high-rise hotel!

Redevelopment?

High-rise hotel?

Aw, that'll be fine.

Right?

Of course!

Your positive thinking has no basis in reality!

What are you going to do without this place? You're all NEETs!

- We're not NEETs. We're free spirits. - It's really hard for a NEET to rent an apartment these days, you know!

And it'd be a waste for a retro building like this to get torn down!

It won't be!

The Nunnery will live forever!

God may forgive its destruction, but I won't!

It's all right, Mayaya!

The redevelopment is still in its planning stages,

and the protesters are working hard against it!

Wait, you knew?

Sure, even we read the ward newsletter.

Because we live in the ward.

It'll be fine! So don't cry, Mayaya.

"Better to wrong the world than have it wrong me!"...by Cao Cao

It was stupid of me to expect a sensible response.

Um, p-please go home... like I'm always asking you to...

I'm planning to go out for a bit.

Now that's unusual! Where are you going?

Shopping?

T-To an aquarium, to see the jellyfish...

I'll come with you! I've got nothing better to do.

No, no! It's not nearby!

It's the Enoshima Aquarium in Shonan, so it's far away!

Oh, come on, that's nothing if we go by car!

Let's borrow my big brother's Benz. With a driver included!

Huh?!

We'll do your big transformation like before.

Tsukimi? Are there any more potatoes?

There's plenty more where these came from!

Whoa! Can we borrow any one we want?

I'm so happy you've awakened to the wonders of the kimono, Tsukimi!

Hey, this pattern's cute!

You have a good eye.

That's an antique sash from the early Showa period

that I got from the kimono shop in Nishiogi I always go to.

Isn't it in amazing shape?

I doubt you'll find many sashes of this age in as fine condition!

It was originally a double-weave sash,

but it's been remade as a Nagoya-style one for easy everyday use,

so you can pair it up with anything, even truly intricate patterns!

- Chieko, your expression is scary! - Yes, yes, if we're going to pair it up, let's go all the way

and use a collar with roses, too...

Chieko, you put it on her. After all, this boy sure doesn't know how.

♪ Olé! ♪

♪ Olé, olé! Ba-da-da! Matsuken Samba! ♪

♪ Olé, olé, olé! ♪

Please stop saying "boy"!

Okay, okay...

Come, Tsukimi! To the rapturous world of hedonistic pleasure!

Oh darling brother!

Lend us your Benz, won't you?

Why are you the one driving?

Hanamori is keeping Dad company while he plays golf in Hakone.

Fore!

Your shots are especially nice today.

Yeah, right! I bet you just came along because Tsukimi's with me.

Tsukimi...

Uh, yes?!

When I visited your home the other day to return your glasses...

I'm very sorry.

I meant to deliver them directly into your hands, but I wasn't able to.

Huh? He couldn't deliver them into my hands?

Oh, I get it! I was so gross that he couldn't stand to touch me!

Clara here!

She decides she's gross even though no one said anything of the sort.

It's the kind of extravagant misinterpretation

only an otaku girl could come up with!

But... I'm talking to him without even getting nervous...

- Want some, Tsukimi? - Is it because I'm not wearing my glasses?

- You okay? You're spacing out. - Is it because I'm not wearing my glasses?

Wow, I'm impressed!

I heard this place was popular lately, but this...

Ts-Tsukimi?

Huh? Tsukimi's moving faster than usual...

Tsukimi! Wait up!

Let's go straight to the jellyfish room!

This way! Hurry!

She's like a different person.

There are so many more spotted jellies! Look at all the tiny ones!

Dozens of jellies that are just teensy compared to Clara!

She looks so happy...

I see Tsukimi is an admirable woman who loves nature.

Nope, she's just a jellyfish otaku!

Tsukimi...

Can you hear me?!

Um, Mr. Older Brother? Would you mind standing here like this for me?

Like this?

Yes! Now then...

They really do look alike!

I was right! Your brother looks just like Sanderia malayensis,

the prince of the jellyfish world!

The long-tentacle feeling and everything!

They project the same atmosphere!

Um...

What?

Would you mind... would you mind just...

...stepping to the side a little?

I don't believe I've ever met this jelly before!

Since I don't have my glasses, I'd like to get right up against the tank!

Sure, sure, I'm just gonna hit the bathroom.

And I just waltz right into the ladies' room...

Man, what am I even doing?

Hey, what are you doing?!

Th-This is the ladies' room, you know!

Oh my, he's handsome!

I'm sorry. I got confused.

Be more careful next time, okay?

What's this about? Why's she so cute right now?

Is it because this is my first time ever seeing her have fun?

Oh, I get it. Now that I think about it,

this is the first time Tsukimi's ever made eye contact while we talked.

Huh? Why do I feel so... pissed off?

It's commercial time!

Clara!

It's the second half!

Tequila!

In kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, college...

Girls have always flocked to me.

Scouts accost me on the street,

and my pocket is always full of business cards:

Modeling agencies, pop idol agencies, even record labels.

The hottest girl at my high school, the hottest girl at the next one down,

and the beauty queens of colleges all around town...

They were all my girlfriends.

I was so popular... I was way too popular...

...and it caused a lot of trouble sometimes...

...and now I'm sick of women.

Being popular is a giant pain in the butt, and I've had enough.

So why should this scene...

"Member of Team Diet Secretary" So why should this scene...

"Member of Team Diet Secretary" - It's Shu-Shu! - Between an über-uptight four-eyed guy (member of Team Diet Secretary)

- It's Shu-Shu! - Between an über-uptight four-eyed guy (member of Team Diet Secretary)

"Member of the Sisterhood" - It's Shu-Shu! - Between an über-uptight four-eyed guy (member of Team Diet Secretary)

"Member of the Sisterhood" - It's Tsukimi! - And a jellyfish-loving otaku chick (member of the Sisterhood)

- It's Tsukimi! - And a jellyfish-loving otaku chick (member of the Sisterhood)

Make me... me, of all people... feel so pissed off?!

Er...

Excuse me, guys? You're in public here. Time to move along.

Break it up!

What's wrong, Tsukimi? Why are you crying?

Oh, your makeup's running!

I'm sorry. I'll go wash up in the restroom.

Aw, don't touch your eyes if you can help it!

Well, her mascara's waterproof today, so I guess it'll be okay.

What was that all about?

I... I don't know.

Don't give me that! Just how old are you?!

Th-Thirty...

The son and secretary of a famous politician,

hanging all over a girl ten years his junior in a public place?!

I'm gonna report you!

Wait! I-It wasn't like that.

It's just... She started crying all of a sudden...

...and I didn't know what to do, so... I ended up hugging her...

She said watching the jellyfish made her remember.

I'm sorry, Tsukimi. I'll... be watching you, okay?

I'll be watching over you from heaven forever.

So don't cry... okay, Tsukimi?

Are you all right?

I'm sorry... These weren't here last time I came...

Ts-Ts-Tsukimi...

I shouldn't cry!

When my... mother...

What?

I promised her... I wouldn't cry when she died!

It's all right.

You can cry. It's all right.

I feel a little calmer now.

Wait... What just happened to me?

Ts-Ts-Tsukimi...

"Sensation on Tsukimi's Back" Ts-Ts-Tsukimi...

"Sensation on Tsukimi's Back" It's all right.

"Full-Body Sensation" It's all right.

"Full-Body Sensation" You can cry. It's all right.

You can cry. It's all right.

Wh-What are these thermography-style sensory temperature memories?

A warmth on my back... and my shoulders... and my ch-cheek...

...and a coolness like the side of someone's glasses!

Could I... could Kuranosuke's big brother have...

...hu-hu-hu..!

H-He hugged me?!

What for?! Why?! What for?!

Oh, was it because I was sobbing like a baby in public?

I was disturbing other people, so it was basically a...

..."Mutsugoro"sort of thing? - There, there, good girl. You're scared, aren't you?

At times like this, you hold the animal in your arms, which results in...

What a kind man!

Miss, your nose is bleeding.

No worries, I'm used to being in the girls' bathroom.

Here, wipe your nose, wipe your face, pat down your kimono,

and... snap!

I seal thee!

It's no good... When I can see him, I'm too nervous to say anything!

Tsukimi.

Er, yes?

I'm sorry. I didn't know about your mom.

No, I should apologize for making such an embarrassing scene...

See, I understand.

I understand how you feel.

U-Um, I'm indebted to you for your kindness today!

I-I caused you so much trouble...

Well then, please excuse me!

"Amamizu-kan" Well then, please excuse me!

Well then, please excuse me!

Good, putting glasses on her broke the spell,

and she turned back into a Sister.

Hey, why do I think that's "good"?

Emergency! Emergency!

We'll call it "emergy" for short!

The tip of my calligraphy pen wore out!

What?

Tsukimi! You're late!

We have a situation. Come to the reception hall, quickly!

It's a decree from Ms. Mejiro!

"I got confused about my deadline. We have one week." It's a decree from Ms. Mejiro!

It's a decree from Ms. Mejiro!

Banba, do all the solid black here, too.

Okay.

This hasn't been inked at all!

Gah! Banba, your hair! You've got ink on it!

They're sold out of my brand!

Gah! Jiji! Stop drawing in extra old men!

You're a good artist.

My calligraphy pen!

- Correction fluid only works right with Sailor-brand pens!

- Honestly, you people are no help at all... - Correction fluid only works right with Sailor-brand pens!

Tsukimi, go get changed. You're the only battle-ready troop I've got!

Yes, Ma'am!

Huh? I don't know how to take this off.

If I untie this part...

Huh?! I don't get kimonos at all!

Tsukimi, hurry!

My pen!

Gah! Banba knocked over the inkwell!

My pen!

Fine, I'll just force it off!

Gah! Jiji blissed out mooning over her own drawings!

It's just no use!

Chieko! I can't figure out how to take this off!

I apologize for my rudeness today.

That's all I wanted to say.

Good night.

You too?!

What's with you two, getting nosebleeds like that?

All you did was hug!

Hey, hold on...

When I first came to this place, Shu was in high school.

We've lived under the same roof for over ten years,

but now that I think about it, I've never seen him with a girlfriend.

How's the front entrance?

Reporters from the papers and TV news stations are swarming it.

I see... Then perhaps tonight's dinner should be cance...

Jello, Kura-pyon!

Is that you, Uncle? Sorry, I know this is a rough time.

Hey, no worries! I've still got 9%, baby!

♪ Nine! Nine! And my head sure shines! ♪

You and Bro have always been pretty tight, right?

Oh, yeah! Sing it, brother!

Have you ever heard him talk about women?

I've never seen a girlfriend of his or anything...

I was wondering if this place is so strict he doesn't bring them home?

Whatchoo talkin' about, Kura-pyon?

Shu-Shu's a virgin!

One of those middle-aged virgins that are so "in" these days!

How many more pages?

Tsukimi's doing the last one.

Hurry it up!

Stake your life on that page, that pen, Tsukimi!

- Unleash a torrent of ardent pathos! With that pen!

- Oh, he saw me! - Unleash a torrent of ardent pathos! With that pen!

He saw me stripped down to the gross, shabby old tank top

that I've been wearing since high school!

No bra... no life?

Nooooooo!

Gah! What are you doing, Tsukimi?!

- There's ink all over the art! - No! No! Someone erase my memories!

- I need something to wipe it up with, quickly! - No! No! Someone erase my memories!

- Cloth! Cloth! - No! No! Someone erase my memories!

We'll use Banba's hair!

Mayaya, you're making it worse!

What's wrong, Tsukimi?!

- A-Are you okay? - No! I can't take it!

You're pale as a ghost!

Or in 1980s terms, majorly pale!

I can't take this, Mom.

When you get right down to it, didn't I... didn't I basically...

...get jealous of a love scene between a couple of virgins?!

No!

I can't take it!
