I'm going to an amusement park with

#03 Misfortune, Followed by Sunshine

I'm gonna see a movie

with Shikimori-san

I can't wait!

No, no! I don't have time to just

sit around looking forward to it.

Whenever we've gone out together before

The weather report would say it'd be sunny,

but then it'd suddenly start raining.

Or I'd drop my wallet and lose

a whole month's allowance.

Shikimori-san always just smiles

and acts like it's no big deal

But I don't want her to suffer

because of my bad luck this time!

I've gotta prepare so I can handle

anything that might happen!

First, umbrellas.

I'll take a few in case

a sudden gust breaks one.

I'll put my wallet on a string

to make sure I don't drop it.

A towel in case we get splashed

with water or mud

And this

Oh, I'll bring a water bottle, too.

There!

I might've packed a little too much

So heavy

Ack!

Ow, ow, ow

That was a loud crash.

Yuu, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

"How to be a cute girl

without trying too hard"

"Classic dresses that boyfriends love"

"Look more girly with frills"

"Your date outfit is your battle uniform"?!

What should I wear?

Hey, I'm coming in.

Could you keep it down?

I'm not making that much noise.

You going out somewhere?

Huh?

Uh, yeah I'm going to the movies

tomorrow with a friend.

What kind of friend?

I'm not telling you.

Harsh!

Well, good luck.

All right!

I can do this!

Okay! Today has started out

perfectly normally.

The strap on my bag snapped.

Then I found a lost child

and took her to the police.

But I left home early since I knew stuff

like that would happen, so we're good!

All right! I'm not late!

I won't have to make

Shikimori-san wait today.

Shikimori-san! There's still time

before we were supposed to meet

Good morning, Izumi-san.

I'm sorry. I arrived a bit early.

Izumi-san? Do I look strange?

No, not strange

You just look really nice.

Thank you.

Shikimori-san is incredibly cute today!

This'll be our first time

seeing a movie together.

Ever since we left Toyko,

I've been in love with you.

I still am.

What if that actually happens?!

Izumi-san?

Huh?!

Your face is red. Do you have a fever?

I-I'm fine!

Are you sure?

I'm sure. I'm just too excited

to be seeing a movie with you.

I feel the same.

They've got a lot playing.

There are so many that it's hard to decide.

I wonder what genres Shikimori-san likes.

No matter what happens,

I'll keep my promise to you.

Weaving the future and the past

My heart is pounding

What's happening to me?

Romance, maybe?

A Jelly Beans & Caramel Melon Production

Almond Schazganeyer in

JEANS OF SOUL

But she's really sporty, too.

Maybe she's into stuff like action.

Shikimori-san, which movie do you want to see?

Well, um Anything's fine with me.

Whatever you want to see.

You know, you always say things like that.

Huh?

You always put where I want to go,

what I want to see, or what I want to eat first.

Do I really?

You do!

Let's see the movie you want to see today!

Wh-Why?

"Why"?!

Y-Yes

Because I want to know more about you!

Don't be shy. Just be frank with me.

Tell me the truth.

Which one do you want to see the most?

Um well, then

That one.

Do you know this movie?

It's all the rage on social media.

I've been curious about it.

Oh, really?

Prepare to be traumatized!

Scariest movie I've seen all year

Nothing short of a masterpiece!

Must-see for horror fans

You're right. Sounds like it's super scary.

Oh, are you all right with horror movies?

Yeah, I guess I can handle them.

Oh, good!

Stuff like that doesn't scare you?

It does, but if it's scary,

I just can't help wanting to see it.

Oh, so she does get scared.

Damn it!

Stay away!

Stay away!

I'm okay with splatter films,

and I should be fine since we're in a theater.

Maybe

Don't worry. I'm here for you.

Izumi-san!

Maybe I'll get to show

her how manly I can be!

Shikimori-san, tell me if you get scared.

I'm right here.

Okay. Thank you.

A balloon?

This is terrifying!

What the heck?! This is insanely scary!

Eurgh

I'm so scared, I feel like I'm gonna puke

Shikimori-san

I-Izumi-san!

Are you all right, Izumi-san?

I didn't know you'd get this scared.

I'm so sorry. If I hadn't said

I wanted to see a horror movie

I should be thanking you.

Huh?

If I'd been alone, I might've passed out.

Having you with me made me stronger.

I'm glad to hear that.

Shikimori-san, do you want

to go get something to eat?

I'd love to!

This looks so good! And cute!

It really is cute.

Walnut and Custard Cream Caramel

1,800 yen (with tax)

It's kind of expensive, though

Don't worry! You can leave that to me!

I've been saving up in secret because

I wanted to try this with you.

Izumi-san

Also, I just happen to have a coupon for

Huh?

What's the matter?

What? My wallet's gone!

The coupon was in there.

No way I put my wallet on a

string so I wouldn't lose it

The string broke!

No way

Tachikawa Station North Exit

Sorry, Shikimori-san.

It's all right. Please don't worry about it.

I really wanted to make you happy,

but it was all for nothing.

What? Yuu?

Huh? Mom and Dad?

What are you doing here?

Just a little shopping.

Nice to see you again, Shikimori-san.

H-Hello, Father and Mother!

"Mother," she says.

Mm-hm.

Are you on your way somewhere?

Well, we were going to get pancakes,

but I dropped my wallet.

Again, huh?

Same old story.

Y-Yeah

Why don't you come eat at home, then?

If Shikimori-san comes with you,

we'll splurge on the snacks.

Oh, good idea! And I'll make us a feast.

What? But

It would be my pleasure!

Eat all you like.

Thank you! I will!

I'll serve it up.

I-I can definitely see

the family resemblance.

Sorry, Shikimori-san!

You didn't hurt your hand, did you?

Are you okay?

I'm just fine.

This is delicious!

It tastes like something from a restaurant!

Go on. Eat your fill.

Thank you!

No need to be shy.

Okay!

Have some of this, too.

Oh, and this.

Sorry, Shikimori-san.

They're a little overexcited.

Not at all. I'm having a great time.

It's been a long time since

I had home cooking

O-Oh, I didn't mean anything serious by that!

Shikimori-san.

You're welcome to visit our home

anytime you'd like.

We do tend to make too much food.

Okay.

I'll go get dessert ready.

Bathroom break for me.

Okay.

Thanks for coming over.

Sorry for putting you on the spot.

I'm glad I could come.

You don't seem nervous at all.

I totally panicked.

What are you talking about?

I'm in the home of the person I love.

Of course I'm nervous.

C-Could she be any cuter?!

Look at you, flirting in front of me.

I could weep tears of delight.

You're back?!

Allow me to help with the dishes.

Oh, are you sure?

You can just chat with Yuu if you want.

Well Izumi-san fell asleep.

He's always been the type to fall

asleep once his belly's full.

Isn't that adorable?

Girlfriend brag?

Th-That's not what I meant!

I really would like to thank you.

For staying by his side.

Mother

Is there anything you want to ask me

while we have this chance?

Like to see his middle school album,

or his baby pictures

Huh?!

If not, then

Could I ask you something?

You want to ask me something?

When he was in elementary school

Yuu, listen to me.

Make sure you watch out for cars.

Always look up,

and mind where you step, too.

And don't forget to check

behind you as you walk.

Jeez, Mom, I'll be fine.

Just make sure you don't get hurt.

See you later!

He came home with new

injuries every single day.

I got so worried, I couldn't

send him off with a smile.

But you know, after sixteen years

It wouldn't even faze me to suddenly

find a giant hole in the house.

A-Acclimation is an amazing thing

It actually scares me.

Probably because he only ever

worries for other people,

and with the most oblivious look on his face.

What's wrong, Mom?

Your head

Um, never mind

Here.

Oh, dear. Thank you.

Honestly, where does he get it from?

It certainly is a mystery

But that's why

I just hope you won't

lose patience with him.

After all, I'm sure his bad luck

will cause you some hardship as well

That's not true.

You're right that Izumi-san

runs into trouble quite often.

Maybe others see him as

unfortunate because of that.

But as for me

I have never once thought of him that way.

His nature is not a flaw.

I think being so unlucky

is what makes him so kind.

Plus

Izumi-san understands

pain better than anyone.

But in spite of that,

he never pities himself

and he's able to show concern for others.

Izumi-san san is so strong and admirable.

You don't need to worry.

I'll protect him.

Mother?

Oh, gosh I'm starting to

wish you were my girlfriend.

Huh?!

Having an affair in front of me? I could cry.

Oh, you're here?

What?!

Yuu. Yuu, wake up.

It's already eight o'clock.

Mii-chan is going home.

What? It's already that late?

I need to walk her—

What are you two doing?

A gaming tournament!

Not bad, Mii-chan.

Same to you, Akisada-san.

They bonded before I even knew it.

Well, thank you for having me over.

Mii-chan

Come over whenever you want, okay?

Okay.

Okay, Mom.

I'll walk Shikimori-san home.

You take care now.

Sorry about everything today, Shikimori-san.

I even fell asleep

I enjoyed getting to see your sleeping face.

I don't sleep with my eyes open, do I?!

No need to worry.

What kinds of movies do you like, Izumi-san?

Hmm I guess I like

stories about friendship.

Then why don't we see

something like that next time?

Sure!

When should we go again?

I think there's a new buddy film

coming out next month.

Let's go see it, then.

Okay!

SEE YOU~

Oh, I got a message.

From a friend?

No, it's from Motoko-san.

Motoko-san?!

Izumi Motoko

Why don't we go and learn

how to make meat and potato

stew together?

In a cooking class

Apparently, Shikimori-san really

has a way with older folks.

I'd love to!!
