Commemorating Horipro Inc.'s
60th Anniversary

Right around the time
I was taken in by my uncle,

rumor had it that
NASA was tracking Santa Claus.

I don't remember much about anything
that happened before that.

If Santa Claus really does exist...

So, how did your academic and
career counseling go?

The teacher looked at me
like some poor idiot.

"Career and Academics Consultation
First choice: NASA"

You're smart if you want to be.

You just don't try.

Here.

He's almost here.

There, done.

A real hairstylist in the making.

Not even in the making yet.

We'll be going then. Come on, Hino.

Just a few more minutes.
Till Sakura Senpai comes.

Yeah yeah, whatever.

See you next week.

Come on.

- Thanks for doing my hair.
- Yeah, later.

Bye.

Umi.

Hey. Hino was here a minute ago.

Yeah?

Let's go. You want to get there
before it gets dark, don't you?

You haven't answered her yet?

Nah.

Are you ever going to?

Of course I will.

Well, as long as you're going to.

Hurry!

I got the first voicemail
sometime before last Christmas.

Mom. It's me, Mahiro.

When will you come home next?

"Voicemail"

I don't need a Christmas present
this year.

But I do have a Christmas wish.

I wish my mom will come home.

Kosuke.

What's up, little sis?

Never mind. It's nothing. Bye.

Oh yeah, Dad said you should
come home now and then.

Uncle did?

Later.

I'm the class pet keeper
for the semester.

I'm going to care for the rabbits.

Mom, when will you come home next?

I tried calling that number too.

It's not being used now.

And the date is weird, too.

It just doesn't make any sense.

I asked a buddy to find out
the address of that phone number.

You okay?

There it is.

"Kawa"

I looks unoccupied.

Guess not.

They're usually kept there.

Umi, are you okay?

What's wrong?

Yay, it's lit!

Hey, watch it!

Watch out!

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Want to do fireworks with us?

Well...

Harukawa, she can join us, right?

Is that uniform Nami High School?

Yes...

I'm fine.

Umi.

- I looked everywhere for you.
- Sorry. Thanks.

Harukawa?

Kosuke?

Wow, it's been a long time.

Yes, hello.

You know him?

He's Harukawa,
from my old basketball team.

What'd you do to your hand?
You need some ice.

I'm fine.

See? I'm good.

Two rabbits died today at school.

A cat killed them.

I dug a grave for them
in the woods behind the school.

The teacher said that way, they'll
come back on the Higan Day of the Dead.

Cheers!

Delish.

We studied so hard for it.
You'd better have passed.

All thanks to Hino!

Thanks!

Hey, what about me?

What, the hair?

No, I taught you remember?

You're blocking the way.

Forget him.
Adults just hate everything we do.

Yeah, totally.

It must be menopause.

Probably.

Oh yeah, I'm getting
so forgetful these days.

You're just stupid.

Here.

Harukawa, Class D.
He's known for being pretty bad.

You didn't know him?

I heard rumors about him
in junior high, too.

Yeah. He's kind of famous for it, right?

Where did you meet him, huh?

- What class do we have next?
- Biology.

Biology? Did you do the homework?

Of course I did. You forgot again?

Are you stalking me?

Kosuke asked me to walk you home
if you're going to be late.

My brother did?

Hello?

Yes.

Okay.

Kosuke wants us to buy oolong tea.

Why didn't he call me?

Who knows?

A firefly!

Hey.

What about the oolong tea?

Hey.

Huh?

This way.

What are you doing?

It's nice and cool. Feels great.

You're right.

You don't show
your emotions much, do you?

Whatever.

Look who's talking.

You're funny.

What are you doing?

Fall off the line and you lose.

Wanna play?

Nope.

You wanna go out with me?

Why?

Why?

Cuz I like you.

Look.

Liking somebody is a lot messier.

Like those TV shows.

You have an affair, divorce, remarry,
then have an affair with the ex.

Then your mother-in-law chews you out.
That kind of stuff.

I don't watch those shows
so I wouldn't know.

Well, you know...

It's like, you just lose yourself
and go crazy.

That's what it means to like someone.

It's not as easy as you say it.

Okay. Fine.

I'm home.

We're home.

Here you go.

Where's Harukawa?

He went home.

So, what kind of guy is Harukawa?

You saw him.

I bet you'll get along with him.
Do you like him?

Whatever. Hurry up and answer Hino.

The cat got caught in the trap today.

It died.

I dug a grave for it
next to the rabbits.

It can apologize to the rabbits
when it comes back on Higan.

I came up with a great idea.

If the dead come home on Higan Day,

I wish you were dead too, Mom.

Mom? It's me, Mahiro.

Today, I dug another grave
next to the rabbits and the cat.

It's your grave.

Please come home on Higan Day.

Can you hear me?

Mom.

"Summer vacation!!"

Umi.

Did you tell Sakura Senpai something
yesterday?

He called me and said
we should meet and talk.

Wow, oh really? Congrats!

Come on, don't jinx it.

I haven't gotten an answer yet.

- Yeah but...
- Hey.

Let's eat lunch together.

Huh? Why?

Why?

Cuz I like you?

- Look, I told you...
- North Wing, lunchtime.

What the heck was that?

Umi.

I don't think you should hang out
with Harukawa.

Okay, time for class. Take your seats.

Come on, everybody in your seats.

"Career and Academics Consultation
First choice: FBI"

FBI?

The teacher said no.

No wonder.

Aren't you going to college?

The money's going to stop
after high school.

And it's not worth paying for by myself.

Maybe I'll go overseas.

Huh? Overseas?

Will you miss me?

I like someone else.

Kosuke Sakura?

It was a wild guess,
but I guess I'm right.

You tricked me.

But cousins can marry each other.
So why not?

When Ko started dating this girl...

I felt myself turn completely black.

Every night, I thought about
how I could make him mine,

and only mine.

That's what it means to like someone.

I bet you've never
felt like that before.

Yeah I have.

If she wouldn't stay with me...

I wished she'd die instead.

So...

if I really fall in love with you...

I might want to kill you.

Go ahead.

Have you been going on dates with Hino?

I guess.

It's summer vacation.
Take her somewhere.

I know.

Hey, Ko?

Do you like Hino so much
you want to kill her?

I'm kidding.

Did you remember something?

What do you mean?

No, never mind.

Have you been seeing Harukawa?

Yeah, sometimes
when we hang out with friends.

And... he said he liked me.

Umi.

I personally like Harukawa.

He's a nice guy.

So I wasn't worried when I asked him
to walk you home.

But I'm having second thoughts.

I don't think you should hang out
with him.

You guys are alike.

Why are you saying that now?

Look, I'm just concerned about you
as your brother...

I've never thought of you as my brother!

Yeah, I had a blast.

Hey, let's go next time.

Aw, that was so cute.

- Later.
- Bye.

Bye.

- Later.
- What do you want to do?

Yeah, it's so adorable!

You should've done it.

I don't want to go home.

Want to come over?
You have to get up early though.

I don't want to get up early.

Want to come?

No, I'll go home.

Okay. Later.

Yeah, thanks.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Later, bye.

Harukawa.

Can I go to your place tonight?

Huh?

Your place.

You live here on your own?
It must cost a fortune.

My mother's boyfriend bought it for her.

I just live in it.

Her boyfriend?

I don't have a dad.

How do you read your first name?

Guess.

"Shinyo"?

"Masahiro"?

It's Mahiro.

Mahiro.

Did you change cigarettes?

It had a stronger smell
when I met you at the coast.

That was my mother's.

I met her right before.

I want to try one.

You're underage.

So are you. And you're drinking.

I can. Not you.

Come on, why not?
You're acting like a teacher.

Fine then.

Kosuke is going to kill me
if he finds out about this.

I told you.

You okay?

Thanks.

Stop it, Harukawa!

Stop it!

Kosuke's going to kill me anyways.

Might as well get more out of it.

Can't waste it, huh?

Ko won't be mad.

He won't be mad.

How can you cry over a different guy
like that?

You're home, Mom.

Damn it, the electricity's cut off.

Pay the bill, idiot.

What, you're still up?

Answer me!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry!

Harukawa.

Mahiro?

"Mahiro Harukawa"

Mahiro...

The number you have dialed
is currently not in use.

Please check the number and call again.

Hello?

Mahiro?

Are you Mahiro Harukawa?

Yeah.

Who are you?

"HOPE
Kashizaki Elementary School Album"

Do you think you can make a phone call
to the past?

Huh? What are you talking about?

Like, if the number you called
wasn't used anymore.

Do you think you could be connected
to a time when it was being used?

Did you hit your head or something?

Is it about that voicemail?

Excuse me.

I'm on the bus. I'm hanging up.

Where are you?
You've been acting weird lately.

I've always been weird. Bye.

"Kashizaki Elementary School"

Two rabbits died today at school.

A cat killed them.

I dug a grave for them
in the woods behind the school.

The cat got caught in the trap today.
It died.

I dug a grave for it
next to the rabbits.

Ow...

Bones?

Mom.

I came up with a great idea.

If the dead come home on Higan Day,

I wish you were dead too, Mom.

Leaving like that without a word.

What's wrong?

I gotta do something.
Wait for me at that cafe.

You'll get wet.

I'll be fine.

I don't have enough for tuition.

I need a bit more.

You saw?

Who is she?

My mother.

Did I tell you I didn't have a dad?

I don't know why
he's not in the picture.

But my mother always had boyfriends
coming over.

Some tried to suck up to me.

Some loathed me. Some hit me.

When the guy was poor, so were we.

When the guy was rich, so were we.

A lot of days, she just gave me money
and didn't come home.

For how long?

Like about a week to a month.

I almost starved to death
when I ran out of money.

And when I had money,
I ordered my classmates around with it.

One time, their brothers found out
and threw me into the ocean.

A pretty rotten childhood, huh?

Precisely.

And so, I grew up into
a wily unhappy young boy.

And here's the important part.
You'll be quizzed on this.

The boy...

He learned that mothers should be used
and not loved.

He wrung out all the money
he could from her and made it to 18.

Your noodles are going soft.

Can I stay tonight, too?

You're already here.

You can stay all you want.
But I don't want to sleep on the sofa.

Sleep in your bed.

With me.

I'm sleeping here.

Because you might do something?

Look.

I'm not going to have sex with a girl
who's into someone else.

Harukawa?

I just wanted some water and dropped it.

Does it hurt?

No.

So you know how to do it too.

When it hurts.

You distance yourself
from where you are.

Like outside the room
or on the other side of the street.

Then you won't feel anything.

Because you're not there.

I'm over there right now.

I'm watching us from over there.

I'm watching us face each other,
standing in front of the sink.

You're holding my hand.

I can see that it's bleeding.

But I'm far away, so it doesn't hurt.

I don't feel anything.

Even though...

I know that you were just thinking
about Kosuke Sakura.

I don't feel anything.

Umi? You there?

I'm home.

Where have you been?
You didn't even answer my calls.

- I was worried...
- At the ocean. With Chisako.

You haven't tanned that much though.

I stayed in the shade.

Was Harukawa with you?

No.

Okay.

So hey, about that voicemail.
Did you figure something out?

No, it was nothing.

Umi! Perfect. We bought ice cream.
Let's eat it together.

I'll get the cups.

Yours looks good, too.

Want some?

- You can have mine too.
- Thanks.

Thank you.

It's good.

Yummy.

I'm going now.

I'm going to stay at Chisako's
for a while.

- Hey, Umi!
- Have fun.

You're back.

I just might live here with you.

You have Kosuke.

Anyways, learn the room number
for christ sake.

I always followed you in,
so I didn't know the number.

I accidentally
rang the wrong room first.

It's "ooot." "One-one-oh-two."

Room 1102.

"Ooot"?

"Ots."

"Oh-three-six."

What's wrong?

Nothing.

"Ots two."

Zero, three, six, two.

The number you have dialed
is currently not in use.

Please check the number and call again.

Hello? This is Nakaura.

Hello?

Umi?

Who are you?

I'm Santa Claus's assistant. His helper.

You're Santa's helper?

Yes, I'm asking children
what they want for Christmas this year.

Is there anything you want?

Can it be something
other than a present?

What is it? Tell me.

Um...

Please kill my dad.

What do you mean?

He said it was a secret.

He told me not to tell Mom, either.

Dad told me.

Umi.

No...

Ow.

I'm sorry.

I remembered about my dad.

He said I couldn't tell Mom.

I hated it.

Umi, I'm really sorry.

Your dad isn't here.

Nobody's going to do anything
you don't want.

- Today?
- No, it's tomorrow.

Where's Harukawa?

Harukawa?

I haven't seen him today.

He's absent?

Who knows?
He doesn't care less about school, huh.

Yeah.

Hey, early bird.

I still feel like it's summer vacation.

But you better go to class.
You won't be able to graduate.

That'll suck.

I'm sick of hitting her up for money.

Who's that?

Hino. She's in my class.

Morning.

It's about Harukawa.

He got caught smoking.

The guys in Class D said
he was just now called by the teacher.

Umi!

"Mahiro Harukawa"

Morning.

You're quitting school?

Yeah.

But you said you'd graduate.

Too late now.

Umi!

It's just a little cut.
It doesn't even hurt.

Hey, what's going on?

Teacher, it's Harukawa.

With a cutter.

Harukawa, what are you doing!

He didn't do anything!

Give that to me.

You're no better, Sakura.

Oh yeah, you're parentless too.

You can't raise decent kids
without decent parents.

You piece of...

- Stop it!
- You get on my nerves.

Stop it, Harukawa!

Hey.

Why are you looking at me like that?

- Don't!
- Harukawa!

No!

Let go.

No, Harukawa.

He'll die.

Let him.

Stop it! Get off him!

Harukawa, stop it!

Harukawa!

Harukawa, hey!

Stop him!

Harukawa cut my hair tie with a cutter.

Hino thought something was happening
and screamed.

I heard her and turned around.

And it made a tiny scratch on my cheek.

The teacher mistook it
and said something offensive.

Umi!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Where's Harukawa?

They haven't found him yet.

They don't know where he went.

You're the one that told on him, right?

I did it for you, Umi.

I hear bad things about him.

I was worried about you.

You didn't need to be.

Why do you have to worry about Umi?

Because Umi is Senpai's cousin.

And she's my best friend.

I don't want to hear it.

You make me sick.

You did it for me?

You're my best friend?

You give me the creeps.

Then why do you take
everything away from me?

Wasn't Ko enough?

Why did you have to
take Harukawa away from me too?

Don't take Harukawa away from me!

Umi.

You and Harukawa are alike.

Because of that...

you'll both suffer if you stay together.

Neither of you can make up
for what the other lacks.

You both lack the same thing.

Everything will fall apart
if you stay with him.

Are you willing to go through that?

I am.

I love him.

At least keep in touch.

It's raining, so take a taxi.

Thanks.

What are you doing here?

Harukawa!

I thought you died!

What the heck?

You're soaked.

So are you.

Harukawa.

The police and the school
are looking for you.

I'm sorry.

This isn't the first time
I stabbed someone.

I was about nine or ten.

My mother's boyfriend at the time
lived with us.

He was a drunk and was violent.

Every day, I thought
he was going to kill me.

One day, he got really intoxicated.

And punched me again.

Do I...

scare you?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Hello, Umi.

Where are your parents?

Mom is going to be late tonight.

Dad is... in his room.

Umi.

You don't have to wait until Christmas.

Go to the kitchen when Mom isn't home.

Understand? Can you do it?

Umi.

Morning.

Morning.

Ready?

- It's heavy.
- Yeah.

This is better.

Are you sure?

Just a little heavy.

My hands are going to fall off. Hurry!

I've always wanted to go
to the other side of the ocean.

But I'm broke. So much for that dream.

Anyways, the other side of that bay
is still like, Shirahama Beach.

Not even overseas.

Can you speak English?

You wanna look at my English scores?

Let me try.

Sure.

When you go overseas,
I'm going with you.

Don't leave me behind.

I won't.

Want to go eat something nice?

Ramen.

With a side of potstickers.

What else? Anything you want?

Fireworks.
I want to do fireworks at the wharf.

Okay. Tomorrow.

Can't wait.

There.

Dang, didn't need that.

I wanted that one.

Harukawa, look!
I think I've got something.

No, you don't.

Look at the suits.

What, they have to be the same?

Duh.

So I don't need these?

Jeez.

No good at all.

Hey.

Go on.

Just say "ron" and show your tiles.

What's "ron"?

Here.

Ready? Ron.

What? Seriously?

Damn it.

- Jeez.
- What?

You won.

I did?

Yay, all right!

Amazing, Umi.

250 grand for one person. 500 for two.

They'll provide a house, fake IDs,
and get you a job.

That and other expenses.

And you pay for the trip to Hakata.

They took care of me once, too.

They'll look after you.

If you want, they'll even help you
leave the country.

Call them when you get there.

Does that include your share?

Nah, don't worry about that.

I'm just looking after you.

Harukawa.

I heard you're in real trouble.

That you stabbed a teacher.

Hey, Senpai?

Have you ever considered
getting a real job?

I've got one, don't I?

What, you're thinking about getting
a real job?

Dunno.

You asked about two.

Does that mean you're taking her?

Can you really take care of her?

I know.

I've thought it over.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Can't I go with you?

No.

I'll come home early.

Okay. Be careful.

The police came.

What do you want?

I told the cops
I didn't know where you were.

Can I have a million yen?

Then...

you'll never have to see me ever again.

Harukawa, you're late!

Sorry for disturbing you
so late at night.

I'm from the water department.
Did you just recently move here?

Yes.

Please fill this out and turn it in.

- Okay.
- Thank you. Goodbye.

You're late.

What are you doing here?

Are you drunk?

I just had one.

What, you're mad?

Sorry. I forgot.

Sorry, I mean it.

Let's go to the wharf now.

I don't want to anymore. It's late.

- Come on.
- No.

- Let's go.
- No!

Okay. Fine.

We can do fireworks here.

A guy from the water department
just came.

We can't stay here for much longer.

We need to find another empty house.

Hey, Umi?

Will you come with me to Kyushu?

All the way in the south?

My senpai knows a guy there.

He helps people who have to hide away,
if you know what I mean.

I thought I'd go there
until things quiet down.

I can go overseas from there if I want.

So if you want to go back home...

I'll go.

Look.

I'm serious.
I wish you'd consider it seriously too.

There's no reason for you to run.

You have family. Like Sakura.

I did consider it seriously.

You said you wouldn't leave me behind.

Yeah.

You're right.

I...

I can't be a big brother to you
like Kosuke Sakura.

I don't plan to, either.

You okay with that?

Yeah.

Would you come with me
if I said I wanted to go overseas?

Sure.

Anywhere with you.

"Mahiro 3 years old"

"Mahiro 4 years old"

Hello.

You're Ms. Umi Sakura, right?

No, I'm not.

Hey, stop!

Let go of me! Burglars! I'm being raped!

Shut up!

Calm down.

Where is Harukawa?

You know, don't you?

No, I don't. Who is that?

Come with us to the police station.

Excuse me.

We found Umi Sakura.

A boy resembling Mahiro Harukawa
has been spotted on the Jonan Line.

He's caught?

You said you didn't know him.

Hey, stop!

Harukawa, where are you? The cops came!

Umi, where are you now?

By the shopping mall. You?

The station.

I have to go meet my mother.

Umi, remember that shady place
where we played mahjong?

Senpai will help you out.

What about you?

I'll join you there as soon as I'm done.

You can't, the cops are looking for you.

Hello? Are you there?

I can't hear you!

Umi.

Don't worry. Come on.

Is that Harukawa?

Can I talk to him?

Harukawa.

Yeah, it's me.

Yeah, she's fine.

You hurry up too.

Harukawa?

Don't worry.

I'll join you soon.

You'll be okay, won't you? Come quick.

Hey, Umi?

If I manage to get away,
I'm going to find a real job.

And make a real living.

And let's really go overseas
together someday.

I can't speak the language,
but we can work it out.

I'll even go to hell
as long as you're by my side.

Sure. I'll go with you to hell.

Hey.

I've been thinking.

Beyond the ocean.

Where nobody knows us.

You and me.

Harukawa?

Harukawa!

He's probably just out of juice.

Don't worry.

Mom...

Hey.

Hey.

Stop looking at me like that.

Why...?

Mom...

Mom...

What's wrong? Let's go.

I'm sorry.

You're his friend
and you're betraying him?

Hey!

Please stand back! Make space!

Stand back please!

Please, one step back.

Hello? Can you hear me?

Harukawa?

Harukawa?

Harukawa!

Harukawa?

You'll catch a cold sleeping here.

What are you doing?

You said you'd come soon!

Wake up, Harukawa!

Please, stand back. Hey!

Come on, let go!

The ocean is that way.

Come on, let's go together!

Calm down.

You promised.

- Hey!
- We're going overseas!

Help me out.

You said we were going to go together!

- Calm down!
- Harukawa!

Stand back.

Let go of me! Harukawa!

My phone went dead
and I couldn't finish my sentence.

So, hey...

Let's go where nobody knows us.

You and me.

Let's live together again.
Think we could do that?

I'm dumb and immature.

I might not be able
to take good care of you.

But I'm serious.

I'll protect you.
I'll do everything I can.

Can you hear me, Umi?

But I'm serious.

I'll protect you.
I'll do everything I can.

Can you hear me, Umi?
