MISSION 26 "IT'S JUST OBON."
Is everyone ready to go?
Let's go!
It's hot again today. It's supposed to get up to 35 degrees!
Was summer always this hot?
Compared to ten years ago.
And then Ms. Aoyama from next door said,
"That's no way to raise children."
And everyone got mad.
The coating is crisp and thin,
and the sweet filling goes all the way to the tail.
But I think…
Oh, anyone want a salt candy?
We have to be careful of heatstroke.
Komi family, business as usual.
When a person has extreme social anxiety,
they struggle to communicate with others.
Bear in mind,
they only struggle to form connections.
It doesn't mean that they don't want to.
You had a nice, long chat.
Did you properly greet your ancestors?
NOD
It's been ages, Mom.
KOMI'S GRANDMOTHER: YUIKO KOMI
Come in.
Look at you. Haven't changed a bit.
Oh my!
Shuko, you're here!
Hey, Ryoko!
How've you been?
-Great! -THEY GET ALONG WELL.
UNCLE: SADAYOSHI
FATHER: MASAYOSHI
PRESSURE
They get along well.
What?
Is that Shoko?
You get prettier and prettier every time I see you.
DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO REACT SO SHE NODS.
Adorable.
Oh yes, Shoko.
Akira's here, so could you play with her?
COUSIN: AKIRA (JUNIOR HIGH YEAR 1)
She hasn't seen you in so long.
She's feeling shy.
KOMI IS GONE.
RUMBLE
STARTLE!!
DIDN'T MEAN TO STARTLE HER, AND STARTLED HERSELF MORE.
AFRAID
DOESN'T WANT TO SCARE HER
JUMP
H-Hey, Shoko… Stop that!
TICKLE TICKLE
TWITCH
The emotional distance between them has shrunk.
WARMED UP TO KOMI
LIVING ROOM
GARDEN
Shoko.
TOILET
Um, Shoko?
Do you want to play a board game?
NOD
SUDDEN FLOOD OF TEARS
No, I'm alright.
I'm just so happy you want to hang out with me.
Until now you always just sat and looked at me.
-SHOSUKE, HOW HANDSOME! C'MERE! -KOMI WORKING ON FAMILY BONDING.
-HOME EXPLODES. -CAT FINDS MONEY! GET 1 MILLION YEN.
Three.
"You have an affair with your young boss. Get two million yen."
Shoko, go see your grandmother before dinner.
In the Komi family,
it is customary to keep Grandmother Komi, the head of the household,
abreast of current going-ons and seek her wisdom.
LOOKS LIKE GRANDMA SAID SOMETHING STERN.
Come in.
Sit.
Shoko, you're in high school now.
Are you having fun at school?
Is anything worrying or bothering you?
Have you made any friends?
Is that so! That's good.
I'm happy for you.
By the way, have you met anyone special?
What's that reaction?
Show me your phone.
Who is this Hitohito Tadano?!
I don't approve!
-Achoo! -Did you catch a cold?
MISSION 27 "IT'S JUST A FESTIVAL."
AUGUST 24TH
Tadano! Let's meet at the festival tonight at six.
-Huh? Today? -Wear a yukata!
See ya!
So I was told, and here I am.
I feel like I stand out. Not many people are wearing yukata.
Whoa.
-WORRIED THE YUKATA DOESN'T SUIT HER. -Oh, uh. I mean, you look really nice.
That just slipped out. Don't worry about it.
Najimi… You could've said Komi was coming.
LOOKS FOR HER NOTEBOOK.
FORGOT HER NOTEBOOK.
Forgot your pen and paper?
Hey!
Thanks for waiting, Tadano and Komi!
It's summer! Summer is here!
What's with the procession?
Huh? Oh, my plans for the festival were thousand-booked.
Thousand-booked?
But a friend of a friend is still a friend, right?
Let's go!
What's with the mutant people skills?
Well, I guess we should go too.
What's wrong?
Ta… Ta…
-Ta… -Hm?
Ta…
Ta… Ta… Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta…
This takes me back.
Oh, anxious because you don't have your notebook?
It's alright. I'm here with you.
Oh, uh, I don't mean it in a weird way.
DECIDES NOT TO STRESS.
Hm? Wait a minute…
Komi and I, alone at the festival.
-No, other people are here. Like Najimi! -BEST NOT TO THINK TOO DEEPLY.
Look, they're doing the Bon dance.
-Let's try target practice! -FLEES FROM AWKWARDNESS.
Huh? What's wrong with me today?
ANDORO CHOCOLATE
PRESSURE
I can't focus when I'm being watched.
I mean, why am I being watched?
K-Komi, do you want to try?
Hey! So we meet again!
It's Makeru Yadano.
Today I'm competing at target practice with Komi.
Let's see who can get the most prizes! It's on, Komi!
TARGET PRACTICE BEST OF FOUR
You lose!
It's a tie.
Miss, bring back the gun!
Hey!
Komi! Tadano!
Let's play Candy Cutout!
In Candy Cutout,
a toothpick is used to cut out a shape from a flat piece of candy.
Successful attempts may be exchanged for a prize.
Oops.
-HASN'T SUCCEEDED ONCE. -I'm kinda hooked. This is my 15th try.
You're a gambler in the making.
Ta… Ta… Ta-Ta-Ta… Ta-Ta-Ta…
Ta… Ta… Y-Y-Y-Y…
You're good at this, Komi!
Are you two hungry?
You got bored, didn't you?
I'll go buy something!
Komi has been acting weird all day.
I guess she's not having fun…
I should ask.
-Ta… -Ko…
Oh, uh, no, you f-first.
Ta…
Tadano…
you…
look…
nice… too…
Look nice?
Oh!
LOOKS FOR HER NOTEBOOK
FORGOT HER NOTEBOOK
Forgot your pen and paper?
Ta… Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta…
Is that what you've been trying to say all this time?
He cut out his candy really well.
Look! Look, Tadano.
My tongue is blue!
Yeah. Okay.
Komi!
Sorry for keeping you waiting!
-The usual crowd. -WASN'T WAITING.
Ko…
-Yuka…ta. -PROMPTLY FAINTED.
What's her deal?
Next let's go play the rope lottery!
-Which should I pull? -I worry for Najimi's future…
The rope lottery. Just pull a rope and get the attached prize.
It's a simple festival game.
I definitely want the top prize.
That rope is way older than the rest!
It's the most ragged!
This is it!
POCKET TISSUE
Tadano! Take out the enemy!
I'll pay you.
Huh?
If I must.
Step right up.
Which one should I pull?
Whoooooa!
Alright, this one.
POCKET TISSUE
Granny, none of these are winners.
That's not true.
Komi, you're our last hope! Please!
HAPPY TO BE RELIED UPON.
Yes.
Of course there are some winners.
This is a business after all.
I've got to play fair.
But you know…
there are strategies, grasshopper!
The old lady's vibe changed!
The rope attached to the PlayStore V!
It looks old and worn.
But that's a fake!
It's switched with a new rope partway.
And facial expressions.
People with no guts don't choose the ropes that I don't react to.
Well, those are decoys anyway.
It's no use!
Color, aroma, thickness… Many tricks.
The more you think, the tighter the trap!
That's how it's done!
ISN'T THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING.
Yay!
Komi looks beautiful no matter what she does.
Huh? Nakanaka?
Elegant red servants of the water.
Come to your master.
She's muttering something.
Heh.
Until we meet again.
-KOMI DIDN'T NOTICE. -NAKANAKA GOT A PITY PRIZE.
Komi!
I finally found you!
Stay where you are.
Could you squat down?
Yes, like that.
I bought a frankfurter!
C'mon, eat my frankfurter!
What's she doing to Komi?!
I'll eat it for you.
MUNCH MUNCH
Something fun's happening over there! Let's go!
GLASS ART
DEAD END!
Komi!
NEAR TEARS
Even if you get lost, you can just contact me on your phone.
OH YEAH!
I messaged Najimi, so let's wait here.
So many people.
Hm?
YES
I guess you were happy to meet up with everyone.
IT WAS FUN WITH JUST THE TWO OF US AS WELL.
Huh?
SCRAPE
YES
Hey!
Oh, Najimi and the gang are back.
Komi!
Look, my white chocolate banana.
-Suck… -Don't say it!
MISSION 28 "IT'S JUST THE END OF SUMMER."
AUGUST 31ST
TADANO
Welcome, Komi!
Come in! Don't mind the mess.
Hey, this is my place.
Uh, c'mon in.
K-Komi is in my place…
Komi came over to Tadano's place?
I can't believe it.
Something's here.
Ta-da!
This is Tadano and his sister's room!
Huh.
Hitohito, are these your friends?
Ah.
Oh, hello.
Thanks for always being nice to my brother.
I'm his little sister, Hitomi Tadano.
We share the room, so you'll see me around,
but pay me no mind.
THEY'RE SOMEHOW EXCITED.
Long time no see, Hitomi! It's been what, a year?
Najimi! You've… changed?
I'm Yamai. Thanks for having me.
You're welcome.
Wow, she's so beautiful.
Is she with my brother?
-Hey, Hitohito. -Huh?
What did you do?
-Huh? -What did you do?!
Uh…
I have gathered you here today
in order to carry out an important mission.
To tell the truth…
I haven't finished a single bit of my summer homework.
Ah, I had a feeling that was it.
Yes! As I was saying.
I must ask you to show me your homework!
Why are you so okay with this?
This happened last year too.
No time management.
-KOMI IS DUMBSTRUCK. -That's harsh.
What is this?
Let one who has finished their homework cast the first stone!
Of course I'm done.
Me too.
If I stay up all night, I'll fini--
So typical.
Tadano, you never let me down.
Anyway, you should never copy homework.
Komi, you don't have to share your notes.
Huh?!
Okay, we'll do our homework, but you guys can just relax.
I'LL STUDY TOO.
Wow, great!
Alright, since I'm here,
I'll just watch Komi.
Summer's over for another year.
That was fast.
Yeah.
We sure had fun!
We didn't do anything for the first week, though.
First there was the pool.
I went 51 times this year alone!
Huh? Do we even have 51 days of vacation?
Komi fell and scraped her knee.
Is it better now?
When Komi fell, Yamai and the others filed down the spot on the ground.
I have a picture. Do you want to see?
Really? Show me!
Here.
Oh, I saw Komi at the library.
Then later at the park too.
-YOU SHOULD'VE SAID HI. -Ah, you're right.
I'll do that next time.
We went to the festival too!
That reminds me, Tadano. What was your Candy Cutout prize?
Oh, I forgot to get it.
Huh? What a waste.
Yamai, did you hang out with Komi?
Huh?
You said the two of you were going to do something.
Oh, about that…
Oh, I see, you couldn't ask her out.
W-W-W-What's wrong, Komi?
SORRY. I'M FINE.
I
I NEVER WANTED SUMMER BREAK TO LAST LONGER BEFORE.
TEARY-EYED…
Me too! I don't want it to end either!
I'll never finish my homework!
Okay, let's cut the chatter and get to it.
