Start getting up, Dad You've slept in

OK

Coming!

Good morning

Good morning You brought it very quickly

The truth is, the store is going out of business

Is that so?

But things turned out all right because I could keep my promise to the end

I'm grateful to you for doing this for such a long time

I wish you a happy birthday

Thank you very much

Yuji

Yeah?

What happened to the new toothbrushes?

I told you yesterday

That year...

...in the season of rain, the miracle that came to us...

...began in this forest

A miracle of 6 weeks

Perhaps it may have been...

...a magical vision of the other side of the fog

However...

There is no mistaking...

...that we met my mother

- Be With You -

It's already been a year since Mio passed away

Are things going well for you, Takumi and Yuji?

You're not in good health, Takumi

It really was...

...a mistake to have Yuji so carelessly

It was that difficult a labor

Are you raising Yuji well?

Hey...

Where do all the people go when they die?

They're all at the Akaibu star

Your mother is on that star too

Well, can Mommy really come back?

Hmm?

Won't she?

Because Mommy doesn't lie

Then when the rainy season comes...

...Mommy will come back It's true, right?

Yeah

All set Let's eat

OK!

Sorry, I messed up the fried egg

That's all right I can eat it

Let's enjoy the meal

Let's eat

Dad, I'm heading out first

See you later

Dad

Yeah?

Don't be late!

All right

I'm leaving

OK

Got some on me

I'll be back later

Takumi

Yes?

This is for special delivery

OK

- Do it like this - Ah

It will be easier to take care of things in this order

Thank you

Not at all

Pardon me

Yes?

I'm sorry

Not at all

- So this is just a question but... - Eh?

You're wearing winter clothes so...

I'm sorry

Not at all

And so the rainy season

...has finally come

The rainy season...

Do you like rain?

Well uh...

But there's a festival this weekend

Do you have plans to take Yuji some place?

Well, if it's all right with you, could I take Yuji and...

Takumi?

Huh?

No, it's nothing

This is all set

Thank you

No problem

Who's going to the festival?

- Me! - I am!

I'm going to go with my mom and dad

You're not going to the festival, Yuji?

Yeah

In my family, my dad...

...can't go to places with so many people

I see

Please sit down

What is that?

Yuji hung it up

Yeah, Yuji put it there!

It's cute

All right Class is starting

This lesson is in arithmetic

Hey, Doctor

Why can't Dad go to places with so many people?

Is it a disease?

Yeah, it is

You're father... well...

It would be similar...

...to smelling gasoline fumes from being near a car

It's not a sickness in his head or in his heart

Understand?

Yeah

But wouldn't your father be happy?

Why?

Because he has you

Yuji

I'm sorry for being late, Doctor

It's fine Take your time

Poor Yuji

Why do you say that?

Because his parent is like this

It's nothing like that

You're trying hard though everyone around you is against it

And I think you are being a very remarkable father to him

No, I am not Not in the least

I wish I could do so many things for him

Like normal parents can

It's already been one year...

...since Mio passed away

These days...

Thoughts of Mio keep rising into my head

I know that...

...just looking at things like pictures won't make me feel Mio but...

Is that so?

But...

Mio said she would return

Soon

Are you talking about the rainy season return story?

Yes

Having her return during the rainy season is a good wish

Yes

And Yuji believes that story as well?

Yes

Do you believe?

Yuji believes it

I see

I believe it cannot happen

Well, from the standpoint of science...

...and as a doctor...

Yes. That must be so

Takumi

Yes?

Would you like it if Mio returned as well?

Yes

Because I couldn't make Mio happy at all

Is that so?

In this condition...

...I only burdened Mio

From the beginning to the end

Even just for once...

...I wanted to make her think...

...that she was happy to be with me

That is why...

...if she does come back perhaps...

...I want her to have those memories

Maybe we could go on a vacation...

...by riding a train like normal couples

I see

Doctor

You are not asking anything about my body

Even though you're a doctor...

How are you? Your symptoms?

They haven't appeared

This tastes terrible

No it doesn't

It doesn't taste good

Sorry, Yuji

That's all right I can eat it

I'm done

OK

Hey, Yuji

Want to go to the festival this Saturday?

Huh?

You went with Mommy before

You said it was fun, right?

Still...

Will you be all right, Daddy?

I'll be fine Let's go

Yeah!

Yuji!

Aya!

Let's go over there!

OK

Yuji!

Yuji

Yuji!

Daddy, I want to do this one

Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy

Daddy

Daddy!

Yuji!

Daddy

Yuji

Sorry

I'm sorry

Daddy...

It would've been better not to come

We shouldn't have come

Yeah

Don't cry No matter what

Sorry

I'm sorry, Yuji

Hey Daddy

Yeah?

Mommy died because of me, right?

What?

That's right, isn't it?

Yuji, how did you hear...?

Well...

That's what our relatives said

No

Mommy didn't die because of you

And...

...I'm not going anywhere

All right?

OK

I want to see Mommy

What are you looking for?

A four-leaf clover They make wishes come true

What will you wish for?

To make Mommy's disease go away

Thank you

Mio...

Are you all right?

I'm fine

Then...

Water

Water?

(Word game continues)

Yuji

Be careful

I'm OK!

What are you looking for?

It's a secret I made a promise with Mommy

With Mommy?

Yeah

But I forgot where I put it

If you search hard, you'll find it

OK

Mommy

Mio...

Mommy!

Mio

Are you really...

...Mio?

Mio?

Is that... my name?

Mommy

Mommy?

Who are you?

You don't remember, Mio?

You are my wife...

...and Yuji's mother

I am a wife?

A mother?

Take a look!

It's me

Hey, Mommy...

What's it like on the Akaibu star?

Huh?

Uh...

Mio...

You can't catch a cold so why don't you change?

I left all of your stuff as it was over here

As it was?

Yeah

In any case, just change quickly

Yuji, come over here

- What? - Hurry

What?

Yuji

So...

For now, let's not tell anybody...

...that Mommy came back

Why?

Because no one knows anything about the Akaibu star

So they'll all think she's a ghost

I see

Yeah

Also, it seems like Mommy doesn't remember anything

Anything about me or you...

...or that she died once

How is that?

Could it be because she was on the Akaibu star before coming back?

How did that happen?

I don't know that either!

I'm sorry

Sorry

She doesn't remember anything about me

Yeah

I see

Starting today...

...we can help her remember everything

Everything about you and me

I have a question

Go ahead

Did I live here as the three of us?

Yeah

But why is it so dirty here?

Um...

Was I this messy a person?

No, you're not You're a neat and tidy person

Y~you were just...

...sick in bed for a while so...

Right?

Huh?

Yeah

I see

But still

This is too much

That's right It is, isn't it?

What was I doing in that forest?

Huh?

Well... We were taking a walk

The three of us

A walk?

A walk

In the middle of that, since we were tired...

...we were taking a small break

Yeah, we were taking a break

And during that time...

...I think you lost your memory

Yeah, I think that's what happened

Right?

Oh...

Right

You're cute

Yuji?

Yeah

I am Mio

Your wife and Yuji's mother

Yes

Yes

I see

Breakfast is ready

Amazing!

Is it?

Here you go

Good morning

Good morning

Good morning

Good morning

Daddy

Yeah?

It's been a long time since I've had a fried egg made this well!

Yeah, it has

It's a little strange

No, it's not that

Huh?

You guys

No, it's not that

I'll be back later

See you later

Mio

Yes?

Don't you think it would be wise not to go out?

What if the same thing happens as last time?

OK

Then... I'll be back later

Your shoe string...

Huh?

See you later

Takumi

I'll be back

Teacher!

Good morning

Something incredible happened! It was amazing! Yesterday, I mean...

What is it?

Ah... I can't tell

What's that? Nothing happened

It did! It did but I can't say

I'm jealous that you have a secret

It's a good thing... a secret

Good morning

Good morning

Did something good happen?

Yes

What is it?

It's nothing much

Oh really?

Do it like this

Thank you

You're welcome

It's delicious!

Really?

It's great

Oh really?

Yeah

Was I good at cooking?

Excellent

I see

Is this me?

Yeah

Then this?

Takumi

Then I'll use pink...

He's cute

He's your child

That's so

I gave birth to him

Yeah

We were a couple You and I

That's right

I don't know why but I feel like I'll remember...

...that I'm part of a family with you and that it's true

But...

I'm sorry

I still don't remember... Anything...

You can do it slowly

Tell me about us

About us?

Yes

How we met each other... How we fell in love...

And how we lived

We first met in the spring of our junior year in high school

Then are you saying we were classmates?

That's right

I was the one who liked you

Yeah, for two years we were in the same class

Coincidentally, we always...

...sat next to each other

You were bright, cheerful, cute...

...and had good grades like a model student

But...

How should I put it...

You always had a part of you that was distant and hard to approach...

...and a defensive aura

I liked that

Yeah, I liked you

I didn't like you?

I think it was a one-sided love

A one-sided love?

Yeah

Because I was just an average guy

After quitting the track team, I had no interest in anything around me

I also never liked someone before

I was dejected

And because I was always an outsider

I see

Were you a good runner?

Yes. I even set records in the prefecture

But at a competition during freshman year...

After that, because I felt cheated...

I trained myself to death every day

I became a crazed guy who only thought...

...about sprinting all the time

I see

You had...

...no reason to like a guy like that

No. You didn't even seem...

...to like other guys either

You didn't...

...seem to have any interest in love

But...

I liked that about you

I was...

...happy to have even just a seat next to you

And so other than exchanging greetings...

Good morning

Hello

...we graduated without ever talking to each other once

Through a recommendation...

...I was accepted into a university close to Tokyo

You... went to Tokyo University

Thank you

Sign mine

Sure

Here

Sure

Here

Thank you

Sure...

And with that...

...you left for Tokyo

Hold on a second

So when does our love begin?

Can you hold out just a little longer and listen a bit more?

OK

During the first summer break of college...

...I overheard where you were working by chance

Hello?

Ah... Still not yet...

It'll come soon There's only a little left

OK

Hello?

My name is Takumi...

This is Takumi

Do you remember me?

Yes

I'm sorry that I'm calling so suddenly but...

Well, I never got back from you...

...the pen I used to sign your book on our graduation day

Would you return it?

Of course it was a lie

Yes. It's a very precious pen

It was a meaningless pen but...

- I really need it back - Just for one last time...

...I wanted to see you

Just one more time

Takumi

Here

Thanks

I'm sorry Such a precious pen...

No problem

Thanks

It's been a while

Have you been well?

Yeah

Right...

Well then...

Well then...

Hey...

Do you have time to drink a cup of coffee?

I do

I think...

...that I had a lot of courage

But it was real

That memorable first date...

...finally came true after 2 and a half years

I was really trembling

And then? And then?

How should I put it? I kept on rambling like a blabbermouth

I couldn't let myself stop

If I stopped, I thought you would leave

Because I was afraid of that...

...I spoke about many things Music I liked...

...the plot of a book I had read recently and even...

...that I had always kept an eye on you

Takumi

Yeah?

I'm cold

If it's fine with you, you can put your hand in here

Then...

...excuse me for doing this

Can I see you again?

Unless I can get time off again...

But...

...I'll write a letter

Sure

That's how we began

You and I

I'd like it if...

...you could be a little like you were back then

I want to feel what it felt like to like each other once more

OK

Thanks

Mommy, I'm done! Dry me off

Yuji, wash yourself up

Excuse me...

Yes?

You just sighed and smiled a moment ago, right?

Yes

Did you meet someone beautiful?

Yes

Eat up without spilling

See, I tell you all the time

You spilled too, Takumi

Huh?

Hey, Aya

Yeah?

You can't tell anyone This is a deep secret

OK

(Word game involving the last syllables)

Yuji, don't forget to take your umbrella

OK

Mio

Yeah?

Do you think it'll be a boy or a girl?

A cute baby boy

I look so happy

Pardon?

You believe it?

You don't believe...

This is problematic

You're not the type of person to lie

And I was the one who pronounced the girl dead

You do not have to believe

I'm sorry Please forget it

Don't worry about it

I'm sorry

However...

...if it's possible that what you say is true...

Yes?

...then when the rainy season ends...

...Mio will disappear

Don't you think?

Yes

That is likely what would happen, right?

Probably...

Because Mio doesn't lie

"When the rainy season ends, it is time for me to leave"...

...she said

Yuji

Yes!

Why is it that no one...

...comes over to visit?

You're not going to go anywhere, are you Mommy?

I'm not going anywhere

Dummy

What is this key?

A time capsule You and I hid it...

...somewhere Daddy doesn't know

I see

It's for a time capsule

But...

...I forgot where we hid it

Oh

I'd like to find it

Yeah

(Word game involving the last syllables of words)

Perhaps, if things continue...

It's all right if things continue like this and I don't get my memory back

Huh?

I like you and Yuji

If I can be with the two of you like this, that's enough

If I can stay as your wife...

Mio

What's the matter?

Can I kiss you?

Don't want to?

No

What's the matter?

You didn't like it?

How should I put it I'm fluttering inside

Like it's my first kiss

I see

Please check over this

Mr. Norito, this is completed as well

It appears that in the forecast...

...this year's rainy season will be...

...much longer than normal

Great!

Are you happy?

Yes I'm delighted

Found it!

Akaibu star?

Mommy!

I found it! Here's the time capsule!

So this is it

Yeah

Should we open it?

Daddy!

Takumi!

Takumi! Takumi!

Are you all right?

Sorry

This happens every now and then

Why didn't you tell me?

That you're not in good health

I didn't want you to have any worries

Dummy

Sorry

Can I lie down next to you?

Sure

Then excuse me for doing this

So...

Continue the story you told me before

The story of our next date

The truth is...

There wasn't a second date

Huh?

We broke up once

Did something happen between us?

It's because of my body

With the reckless training I began in high school...

...my body began to have strange symptoms

Then when I was a sophomore in college...

...I collapsed, being unable to move at all

From the diagnoses I got from going to many hospitals...

...I found out that...

...the motor control functions...

...in my brain were damaged

I gave up running

I became unable to do anything that involved large movements

I gave up everything

And I dropped out of college

Why don't you start lightly?

Pardon?

If you get treated with a relaxed mind, you will improve

Your disease, I mean

It's all right

You will find your happiness for sure

So you mean...

...that I didn't know about this?

I didn't tell you

It was different from ordinary diseases

I couldn't even do half of what normal people could do

I didn't see any hope for myself

Because with me like that...

...I couldn't drag you into my life

And so...

I decided to quietly disappear from you

Welcome

Takumi?

I'm sorry for suddenly coming to you

Is something wrong?

I heard you quit school

I have my reasons here and there

So I don't want to see you anymore

Why?

You'll find out sometime

Maybe from an alumni association or something...

If I hear that you got married, I'll wish for your happiness

- I only... - Well then...

I spoke harsh words

But I told myself...

...that this was enough

With just one date and 47 love letters...

...I thought that the love I had...

...was completely over

But I still wanted to see you

Though I had said we should break up, I wanted to see you one more time

By that time, traveling to Tokyo alone...

...was already a task too reckless for me to even imagine

But no matter what, I couldn't do nothing

No matter what, I wanted to see you

Mio!

Thanks

So I wasn't the only one...

...who loved you

That's what I thought

I thought I had no chance

After that, I never contacted you

You didn't keep in touch either

'Mio...

...clearly feels the same

She must have forgotten everything about me'

That's what I thought

However

One day...

...you suddenly called

A phone call

Not a letter

Hello

Hello, Takumi?

Can I come see you?

Why are you making that face?

But...

Don't make that face

But...

Because I...

...said those things to you

It's not like that

You're a dummy

It's all right

We'll be all right... Us...

For some reason, after you put yourself out before me...

...I couldn't do anything

But after hearing that...

...I could feel that I was alive

After that...

...we got married

And lived together in a village...

...where Dr. Noguchi was

And then...

...Yuji was born

Yes

After that, the two of us...

...were happy, right?

Yes

We're going to be happy from now on as well

Right?

I feel strangely relaxed

Best position

Best position?

For some reason...

...sometimes you said that while falling asleep

I see

I'll be back later

See you later

Takumi

It's all right if you're late so take your time

Here, try it out You can do it slowly

You don't need to do it that hard so try it again

Here

You don't have to do it that hard Again!

It's too hard!

Well there's nothing we can do about that, Yuji

Yuji!

Fine

There you go Good job, Yuji!

That's how you do it!

Great job!

Daddy!

Good morning

I made this

That's great, Yuji!

Good morning

Good morning

You can't do it like this

You hold the shoulder areas properly...

...and then smooth it out then...

...Pat Pat Pat! Try it out

Smooth it out then Pat Pat Pat!

Yeah, that's how you clean it

Daddy's feet are big Take a look

Here

It would be nice if this filled with blooming flowers

Yes it would

It would be very pretty...

...if flowers bloomed all around here

Yeah

I want to see it

Huh?

Nothing You have to grow them preciously

OK

Yuji, you learned a lot of things

Yeah

You work hard

Yeah Daddy

Yes?

Mommy said that when the rainy season ends...

...she is going back to the Akaibu star, right?

What will happen?

But I think Mommy forgot all of that

But even if Mommy forgot...

...someone will definitely come to take her away

All of the storybooks I read end the same way

Oh really?

Then let's treasure this

Let's treasure the time we are together

OK

I'm sorry for alarming you

Y~you must be...

...M~Mio

Yes

Um...

I'm sorry...

Because I think the conversation will go long...

...and because I think this is problematic

Would you do me a favor?

Please

Please!

Yes

I understand

Thank you

There is a favor...

...I must ask of you, Miss Nagase

Of me?

Yes

Would you please take care of Takumi and Yuji?

Well if it's a favor...

Lately, Takumi said he was meeting someone he liked

So...

But I will go away soon

When the rainy season ends

Pardon?

So...

...I wanted to ask someone to take care of Takumi and Yuji

Because he struggles through daily life and he is weak in many things...

That's why someone...

That's why I wanted to ask someone to take care of them

Can I ask this favor of you? The two of them...

I'm sorry

Pardon?

I'm not a great person

I'm worried about the two of them but...

Because I don't want Takumi to live with someone else...

Because I don't...

Because I don't want him to love another person

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

Please forget this

It's all right

You don't have to worry

That man has never loved me as a woman

And he never will

It was only you...

...whom he ever loved

Takumi

Thank you

I'm talking with you right now, right?

Yes

I heard from Takumi

You always help him out with many things even at home

I'm very grateful

It's nothing at all

It's been a long time

I'm sorry

To be quite honest, I don't remember anything about you

Huh?

It was this one, right?

Yes

There was something I wanted to check

Yes What is it?

Does this store...

...have any plans to go out of business?

Huh?

Will it really be OK?

Yes We're doing fine

That's a relief

Well then, I'd like to make an order...

...for a birthday cake

For...

...12 years

Until my child turns 18

Every year

Amazing!

This is incredible!

Really? But of course

It's a birthday cake!

This is yours

Yay!

But Yuji's birthday is next week

I know But I wanted to do this today

- All right! Let's sit - OK

Takumi

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday to Yuji

Happy Birthday to you

You have to look here and smile

Mio

Will you be all right?

I'm a little scared

I like you so much

I like you too

I love you

I love you too

Yuji!

What's the matter?

I think I should go home

Huh?

I think I really have to go home

Teacher!

All right Go home

Mommy

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy!

For today's weather...

...the rainy season has finally come to an end

Takumi!

Yes?

It's summer

Mio!

Mio! Where are you?

Yuji

Listen to me well

OK?

I...

...have to leave

We're not parting ways forever

Yuji

Mio!

Mommy, I'm sorry

Huh?

You died because of me, didn't you?

You dummy

How did you come to think that?

That...

Don't say that

It's not like that at all

You can't believe me?

You...

...were born after I waited and I waited

That may even be why your father and I met by chance

So we could meet you

You...

...brought us good fortune

You made me happy OK?

Yuji

You must become a great person

And Daddy...

Take care of him

You're not going to see Daddy?

Yeah Probably not

I think the time has come

You can't yet

Daddy hasn't come yet

Because he runs slowly

But Yuji...

Your father...

...used to run frighteningly fast

He really liked strength

Mio

I can't find any There aren't any!

Mio!

Daddy!

Mio!

You made it in time I like it

Mio

Yes

I'm sorry

You made me so happy but...

I...

...couldn't make you happy so...

...I'm sorry

What are you talking about?

You and Yuji look so much alike

I was happy

I was always happy

Ever since I started liking you, I always have

My happiness...

...is you

Being by your side...

...was my happiness

If it was possible...

...I would have always been by your side forever

Yuji...

Please take care of him

Love him in my place

Takumi

I'm cold

Thank you

I really loved the time I spent with you

Found it!

Mommy! Daddy!

Mommy...

Mommy!

Mommy!

Is that so?

Yes

She returned with the rainy season

And she left with the rainy season

She is a person full of love

Doctor, do you really believe my story?

Well, what should I do?

But I...

...was able to love Mio again

We were happy

There won't be another person in this world...

...who will have the same experience

Because you met her, it will shine brightly for sure

Time and time again

You were able to be with each other

The one true love

June 24th

Today I discovered someone I like

Um... Excuse me

Why is that?

Why is my head only filled with thoughts of him?

Maybe I'm falling in love

Sophomore, Class 3, Student Number 1

Takumi Aio

Go!

That was clearly cheating

I can't convince them

But he didn't even get mad...

...so why did I do that?

For sure, I think I like him

But he doesn't have any idea about how I feel

He's a little thick-headed but I have a one-sided love

Through my power as a member of the class council I barely got a seat next to him

I couldn't tell him my love

But...

...I was happy to just have a seat next to him

Even with that...

...I was happy

Takumi, I want to know about you

What book are you reading?

What music do you like?

What color do you like?

What kind... of girl do you like?

There's no reason you would like me

Nothing has started and soon it will be time for farewells

What can I do?

What should I do?

I'm sorry

Sign mine

I could have returned it to him right then

But...

...I didn't go

If I hold onto it, I'll be able to see him one more time

Because if he calls me asking me to return it, I can meet him

I can call him

"Please come get your pen" That's all I have to say

But...

...I didn't have the courage to do that

No, not at all I'm sorry... such a precious pen...

I think I remember

He called me...

...asking me to return it

I can see him

This is a pen that brings the heart

Here

Thanks

It's been a while Have you been well?

Yeah

Right...

Well then...

Well then...

It won't work for a fool like me

I wanted to meet him that badly but I'm just turning away like this?

Am I all right with that?

Hey...

Do you have time to drink a cup of coffee?

I do

I already read this book over 3 times

You kept on non-stop...

...like a blabbermouth

I couldn't say anything

But I was really happy because I could be by your side

I wish this time could keep coming again and again

Your hand was really warm

But spring came and I received a letter from you

It was only 3 lines

Why?

Let's meet again sometime

Maybe from an alumni association or something...

If I hear that you got married, I'll wish for your happiness

- I just... - Well then...

My happiness was being by your side

I want to be by your side always but...

That's all I want but...

Are we really ending things like this?

I really want to see you again I sincerely do

I want to see you more than anything

Takumi?

I'm sorry

Takumi!

Takumi!

Takumi!

Takumi!

Takumi!

Takumi... Takumi...

Mommy!

Mio

Good morning

Good morning

I'm sure no one would believe me if I told them

Because it's still hard for me to believe as well

I, at 20 years old, met you at 29 years old...

...and we fell in love and parted ways

I jumped into the future

To the rainy season 9 years later

I had become your wife

And between us, we had a cute child named Yuji

I was happy

It was a happy experience

I want to be in love with you once more

But I figured it out

That the real me died one year ago...

I will die at 28 years old

Leaving my loving Takumi and Yuji behind

I'm going to die

With only the promise that I will return in one year during the rainy season

Takumi

Takumi

Perhaps if I had not met you...

I would have become someone else's wife and led a different life

I may not even have a future where I die when I am 28

But I don't want it

Because I love you

Because I know the future with you

After meeting you, and becoming your wife...

I want to watch the life of a child named Yuji

I want to let Yuji be born into this world

No matter what, I want to do it

Hello? Takumi?

Can I come see you?

Even if it's for a short time...

...I want a future with...

...the ones I love

Takumi...

Takumi...

Yuji...

Please wait for me

Now, I'm going to be with you

Why are you making that face?

But...

Don't make that face

But I...

...said all those things to you

It's not that

You dummy

It's all right

We'll be all right

I'm going to stay with you

That's what I decided

Decided?

Yeah

Because you're my only love

I love you

Dad

Yeah?

Wanna get started?

Sure

It's your birthday so is curry enough?

It's fine because I like the curry you make

Here

Huh? Have you grown taller?

Turn around Back to me

- You can't lift your heels - I'm not!
