Episode: Maruko's Essay Battle
(A prefecture essay contest)
(Topic: Family)
The topic will be about family
The selected essay will be shown at the prefecture convention
prefecture...
prefecture con...
prefecture convention
The essay is due Monday
Please do your best to finish it this weekend
Family? What should I write?
Kind of hard huh?
But it is for the prefecture convention
(That only if you get selected)
Hi, Sakura-kun. Still thinking about what to write?
What are you going to write about?
I'll write about my family vacation at Mediterranean Sea. Baby
Hanawa-kun is so lucky. He has so many great stories.
- Let's go play - I know
Wait a second. Hamaji. Butaro
What is it?
What about the essay?
It's due Monday right?
But this is for the prefecture convention!
You don't seems to understand, Sakura
Even for the prefecture convention, there's no need to worry about it
What do you mean?
I only need to be true to myself
That's the most important
Being true to yourself?
By not being yourself, you're lying to yourself. Boo
Lying if I don't show my true self?
Isn't that just an excuse to go play?
We're talking about homework!
Let's go!
So, that's how it is
Hamaji-kun does have a point
Family?
I am home!
Mom, mom
Welcome back. Why are you in a rush?
Unagi(Eel) for lunch, right?
It smells so good...
You sure have a good nose
Unagi, Unagi, Unagi, Whooo!
- But it's not for you - Eh?
It's for grandpa and his friend, Nagano-san
What about me?
You can have this
But I really want to eat Unagi!
You're too loud
Just wait until the first Saturday of summer
- Today is Saturday - Not the same
But I REALLY want Unagi!!
If I don't get it today, I'll just think and cry about it every night
What will you do if my pillow is soaked full of tear?
Stop being silly. Go do your homework!
You're too mean. I'll die if I don't have it today
Maruko!
What have I done?
Oh, what have I done?
This is so hard
Yeah...it is
MEMORY!
You both sure're working hard
Oh, stop it, dad...
Tamae, don't forget hanging up the Teruteru Bouzu for tomorrow's picnic
That's right. I can just write about the picnic
You are so lucky. Getting to go eat outside
Unlike me, not even a single riceball in two months
Dinner, Sister
Maruko!
Maruko-chan, dinner time
Homework? Can you do it?
Even if I cannot, I've to finish it anyway
That's true
But let's eat first
Oh, an essay?
Let's see...
There're six people living in my house
Grandpa, and his friend, Takano, got to eat Unagi
But I only got to smell Unagi...
...then eat the rice.
That's definitely Unagi
Stop it already
Unagi rice
Just like the real thing
What... what is this?
Mom, how come we don't do any activity?
Activity?
How about we go outside tomorrow?
Once in a while, it's good to eat some good Chinese food
You already did. Ramen and ChaHung rice
Ehh!? Those are Chinese food?
So is gyozaa and dimsum
Is that really true? So, we're already eating good food?
That's right
Maruko is so silly
What's it?
Mom, you're not eating the Gratin?
I feel a bit overweight, even the skirt got tighter
Mom is beginning to look like a meat bun
Don't say that. I'm not that overweight
That sure flew pretty far
Pencil. Paper
My life at home
Mom got fatter, so she won't eat Gratin
What're you doing?
Writing about everyone
Why?
An essay about family
Just don't write anything weird
- Like what? - Like me passing gas at dinner
Oops, that slipped out
- I told you not to write that! - It is alright
Maruko
(Is it really alright?)
This's great. I got something now
Hey, you have any interesting story?
Baka, who can just come up with one?
You're so cruel
You will be sorry
Life is a cycle of sadness
Life... is a cycle of... sadness
Maruko, let's go play with me tomorrow
Better not, I have to finish this
But we will eat what you like
Really?
Yes
I just got my pension, so anything you want
Yatta!!
Pension, pension
That's right
That is happiness
For the lovely granddaughter, even the pension can be spent
- Tomozo's Haiku
So, what should we eat?
Unagi, or Tonkatsu? It's alright
Maruko, tell me what you really want
Really want?
Yes
- Let's battle it out - Okay, then...
...let's fight
Show me your true strength
Give me all you got
I...
want to eat...
Sushi bar
Su... Sushi bar?
At such place?
No good?
Not enough money?
What do you mean? We will eat there, of course
Yatta!!
(Tomozo, you can still back out)
Welcome!
Ahhh... there is no price tag
Must be expensive
Definitely expensive
What would you like?
How about Shime Saba (vinegared mackerel)?
Uni please
Uni (Sea Urchins' Eggs), don't you have a heart?
And you sir?
Shime Saba (Vinegared Mackerel)
No matter how I wish for Uni, still end up ordering Shime Saba
- Enduring Tomozo's Haiku
- Please gets the red one - Okay
And you sir?
***...me...
...Saba
Yes
Okay
Uni and Shime Saba
You really like Shime Saba
Love it
You know, that store is super expensive?
Then most people probably can only order Shime Saba
Today, Fujiki-kun is sure smart
Oh, that's Hanawa-kun
Definitely expensive
Welcome
Hi!
Hanawa-kun
Sakura-kun
You eat here often?
Of course not. This is my first time
On a date with your grandpa?
That's great
Date? Not exactly
What do they really know. This is our reality
I just want food on her plate
I can only afford Shime Saba. How can they ever understand?
What's wrong, Grandpa?
Nothing
Master, the regular
Yes, sir
What did you order for Hanawa-kun?
It's a special made dish
Special?
So you guys come often
Taking the best tuna stomach...
then the lobster...
and caviar sushi
A pleasure beyond price
Master
Fantasic
I like to eat like Hanawa-kun, too
Are you sure about this? Might not be good for grandpa
Not a problem
Because today is my best day ever. Right, grandpa?
Oh, yeah
Let's buy some for others
No good?
Chef...
... make the same dish
Yes sir
Yatta!
Hanawa, here's your dish
This is the best essay ever
Oh?
Doing your homework?
That's great. I was so surprise
It's almost time
Linda, Linda
Linda?
Ahh...
It's getting to the good part
There!
Dad, you look good today
You too
These kids...
Maruko!
What is it, Mom?
What is this about?
You shouldn't read it without asking me
"But I only got to smell Unagi then eat the rice." How can you write that?
Interesting right? It's for a school contest
- A school contest? - It's great right?
And the winner gets to present it at the prefecture convention
O-Baka!
You can't write that. Erase it
Eh? Why is that?
"Everyone got to eat French food." Write that down
- But that's not true - It'll be true one day
That's a prediction, not an essay
Just erase it
"After eating the French food...
...everyone walk and sing happily"
"Our family like to sing"
Write that down
Now, quickly
After today, I have to be careful
Even a small gift...
...won't be possible.
A cheapskate
A cheapskate grandfather
Caviar...
So good...
Grandpa
What are you ***?
Grandpa... Grandpa
Hiroshi!
Hiroshi!!
How can you hide something so good?
I'm ashamed
You only took her. So unfair
Next time, I... I'll take you too
This is very delicious
It's the good stuff
Last piece
Rock-paper-scissor
Doesn't kid get the last piece?
No, rock-paper-scissor
Ready
- Rock-paper-scissor - I won!
Ready
- Rock-paper-scissor
I won!!
- You'll eat it? - Of course
But you are on a diet
- That's true - This is an exception
Delicious...
You're too mean
Fat, just like a pig
Dad and Sis are so funny
What Hamaji and Butaro said were true
I only need to be true to myself
By not being yourself, you're lying to yourself. Boo
Lying?
Hamasaki-kun, please read
Yes, sir
I went to a zoo with my family
The elephants are big, and the giraffes have long necks
For lunch, I ate my mom's delicious Tamagoyaki
Hamaji's House
Mom, can I get more? This is not enough for me.
It's already enough. Don't eat it if you don't want to
Mom, lunch...
Mom, lu...
Here, one more
The end
Hamasaki-kun, were the Tamagoyaki good?
Actually, I only got to eat the riceballs
But my mom told me to write about Tamagoyaki
So that's a lie right?
Hamaji is funny
That's right
Next person, Tomita-kun
Yes
In my family, everyone likes to say "Boo"
Boo. Lunch and dinner are the same things. Boo
The water and gas bills are up again. Boo
Then, let us all take a bath together. Boo
Let's take a bath together. Boo
That's why I always say "Boo".
The end. Boo
That's seems like a happy family
Is it really?
Yes. Boo
Next person
Sakura-san
Yes, sir
There're six people living in my house
Only grandpa, and his friend, Takano, got to eat Unagi
It would have been great if they had shared
That's why, my grandpa took me to eat sushi yesterday
My grandma fixes the TV by hitting it
My sister's life is full of sadness
My mom is afraid of being fat
But she still ate the last piece of sushi that my grandpa bought
She said it was an exception
I still don't know why it was an exception
But the best part is about my dad...
"Oh...You're doing your homework? That's great"
"I was so shocked"
He complimented me
But sometimes he farts during dinner
When I do get pension, I will treat everyone to sushi
This is a very happy family
The end
Writing using your own words. That is very good
Maruko, you were great
(Why did the teacher complimented her essay?)
- Yatta!! - One. Two
Maruko. Dinner is ready
Oh, everyone, I got something to tell
My essay won't be shown at the prefecture convention
But it will be published in a newspaper!
Incredible, Maruko
Let us see
How could you write those things?
Why did you write about that?
The Unagi story...
Why you write like that about me?
Teacher told me it is good
Maruko!
Oh! I was shocked
Why didn't you write what I said?
Because that's not my essay
I...
I want to write about my real family
Maruko...
That's true. She is right
Wait, take a look at Butaro's essay
Butaro's House
Baka Boo!!
People are going to laugh at us now
That's not true
Try reading Sakura's essay
Which one?
Look. Look
Compare to them, we're much better
That's kind of funny. Boo
It's very funny
Look at this one
Hold this
Ready
Memory
Okay, tape it right here
Ready
Memory
Hanawa's Palace
What's so funny?
Here
Can I eat it?
Such a weird family. Keep saying "Boo"
They really say "Boo"?
Compare to them, we are normal
That's right
We're not that embarrasing after all, right?
(And this is Maruko's happy family)
(Too bad, this is the end)
Episode: Maruko's Lies
Today, we will be dancing
This is bad... holding the boys' hands
Yeah
Not everyone thinks that way
Look over there. Mikiwa-san is so happy
Yeah
She probably dreaming about holding his hand
Probably
Fuyuta-san is the same
Yamada just wiped his nose
Ewww...
Alright, let's begin
Sakura-san
Go line up with the boys
Why is that?
Because there's one less boy here
Good for you, Maruko-chan
I don't like to be a boy
But you don't have to be with Yamada
I see. I'm lucky after all
Line up everyone
Sakura-san
Now, I'm not with Hanawa-kun
I hate you
Why do you hate me for? You'll meet him eventually
But I can't wait
Tama-chan, Miki is so scary
But Yamada is worse
This is a tragedy
This is goodbye. I'll miss you!
Hanawa-kun
Just one more person
One more person
One more person
One more person
One more person
One more person
One more person
One more person
One more person
One more person
One more person
Alright, let's stop for now
(It ended just before meeting her lover)
(This is the rule of Oklahoma dance)
It's because of you!
A sure death
Where's Sakura? You're dead when I find you
This dance is very tiring
I kind of hate Oklahoma people now
Go back to class now
Yamada
Don't be laughing. Go wipe your nose already
Hamaji, are you okay?
That hurt. Yamada, don't stop so suddenly
Your nose is bleeding!
This is bad
Take this
Thank you
Hurry, wipe it before it flows out
Thanks
A bit to the right
Look
Oh...Boo
Definitely
That was bad
Hamaji/Maruko
What is this!?
Great job, Maruko
Not bad
We saw it
You gave Hamaji a handkerchief
With the words "I Love You" on it
There're "I Love You" on it?
Sakura is in love with Hamaji?
No way
There's Hamaji!
Hamaji, Hamaji
Me?
What is it?
Please, stop it already
Feeling embarrassed?
Hamaji
Hamaji
Hamaji
Tama-chan, what's happening to me?
You're in a tough spot
I pity myself, but even worse...
... is Hamaji
Hamaji
Hamaji
Hamaji
Maru-chan, a rumor doesn't last more than 75 days
They'll soon forget about it
But 75 days is over 2 months long!
2 months is not that long for us
My grandpa forgets everything in just one hour
If only everyone is like grandpa
(What a scary class it would be)
What should we play?
How about rich wives?
Good. Let's get some make-up
(These kids' idea of rich wives...)
(...is people with too much free time)
You know, my husband always forget to change his underwear
Same with my husband
But mine, pass gas with so much odor
(These rich wives must be in a rough time, with such unrefined dialogues)
My husband bought this for me. It is at five carat
No surprise there. Such a considered man
Ah, let me get the fruit drinks
It's specially made for today. Cost 5 million yen, you know?
Mom is so kind
Such a kind hearted mother
But she is terrible when she gets angry
Mine is the same
My husband will come back soon, I better get back home
Talking about husband, today must have been hard for you
Toshiko-chan
I"m sorry, Maru-chan
About Hamaji?
Sakura
Yes
I will make you happy
Maru-chan, don't faint yet
What if we really have to get marry?
What should I do?
Maru-chan, if you really get marry...
...it won't be that bad
(That's right)
Maru-chan!
That's weird, where did I put it?
What is it, Mom?
I planned to visit Mrs. Nakamura tomorrow
So I bought her a gift. But now, I can't find it
Wait, that was not for us?
Did you see it, Maruko?
No...Nope
Mom is forgetful lately. Did you misplace it?
That's true. I wonder where...
Still couldn't find it?
Not yet
Maruko-chan probably ate it
No...
No
Don't say it. Don't say it
Big Sister
You shouldn't accuse Makuro
She wouldn't eat it by herself
Right, Maruko?
Where is it?
Now, I can't confess
It costs 3000 yen
Huh! 3000 Yen!?
And I ate it already
That's right
Maybe it's still at the store
Mom is so forgetful
What do I do now?
I got it!
Let's scam grandpa
A help? From me?
It can only be you
It can only be me?
I need 3000 yen
3000 yen?
I want to buy an abacus
An abacus?
Mom and everyone want me to learn to use an abacus
But I want to surprise everyone
Such a good kid
Where else could I find such a cute granddaughter?
Maruko is showing me her true feeling
I will help you
Grandpa
I'm just glad that I could bring her happiness
I just lied to grandpa
And Mom too
But...
... I can't back out now
I'll buy the cookies tomorrow, and everything will be alright
Almost....
Good morning, Sakura
Morning, Hamaji
The love-birds are here
You see that? Love and affection
Sakura, you really like Hamji?
I told you, I don't love him
Hate now. Love later
Instead of Hamaji...
...why not Hanawa-kun? At least, the cookies wouldn't be a problem
So you're dumping Hamaji?
Tama-chan, forget about Hamaji
There's a bigger problem
What big problem?
I lied to my family
- Eh? Lied? - Shooo
The cookies was actually a gift to someone else
Eh? Then we shouldn't have eat it?
Ouch ouch ouch
I didn't tell Mom anything. I planned to buy it today
To replace it?
Please, help me out, Tama-chan
Okay. I ate it too, so I'll help
I will go buy the cookies, but Mom can't know about it
Okay, I won't tell. But be quick
Thanks, Tama-chan
Maru-chan is really in trouble
But you shouldn't lie though
My name is Tami. For my good friend...
...I will gladly lie to her mom
Because we are best friend
Tama-chan, I'll go now
Maru-chan, don't worry about me
(Because of Maruko's lies, her friend has to lie too)
Tama-chan, thank you
Now, I have to find this store
Geh. How do you read this?
Ko-no-mi?
Hey there!
Oh! A policeman
I want to go to this place
Go up here, and head straight
One, two.... Turn right on 7th street
Thank you very much
Wait? What about school?
We're out early today
Why are you going to the store instead of home?
Because my grandma is in a hospital
So, I want to buy some cookies for her
That's wonderful
Be careful
Yes
I just lied to a policeman
I'm going to hell for this, and the devil will cut my tongue off
Teacher, Sarkura went home early, because of a stomach-ache
Eh? Really?
Yes, you can ask Honami-san
Yes, she got a stomach-ache so she asked me to tell you
So, that's how it is
Going home alone. I'm a bit worry
Well, I better call her house
DON'T! DON'T! There is no need to!
She said, she will be okay alone
If you call, they might be worry
So, after school, I'll go visit her
Honami, what's wrong?
Absolutely nothing!
I'm counting on you then, Honami-chan
Yes
Let's continue with our class
Ahhh... I just lied to my teacher
And even done it seemlessly
But this is for Maru-chan
Hopefully everything will be okay after this
Found it!
For sure, it's this place
This one!
This 3000 yen cookies
This one right?
Yes, that one!
Wait a second, okay?
Okay
I'm relief
Finally
Problem solved
Maruko!
Mo...Mom, what are you doing here?
And what about yourself?
The school is out early today, so I decided to buy some cookies
- Cookies? - Actually...
Yesterday...
... you couldn't find it
So, I'm here to buy it for you
Sorry for the wait
Where did you get the money?
This is my own saving
Maruko
Thank you for helping me
Not a problem
- 3000 yen right? - Yes, 'am
I just lied again
So much trouble, but it's okay as long as noone finds out
It's for the best
So, where are you going?
Going to the hospital?
Hospital?
To visit grandma, isn't that it?
Grandma is in a hospital?
The cookies is for her grandma
Is it not?
Geh!!
Such a good weather today
Maruko, tell me the truth
You ate the cookies, right?
Yes...
And to replace it...
...you skipped school, right?
Yes
Where did you get 3000 yen?
Grandpa
How?
I told him I was going to buy an abacus
O-baka
Where did you learn to lie?
What have I told you?
You think no one would know?
Talk to me, Maruko
Because...
...I already ate the cookies
I wanted to tell you the truth
But you...
...believed that I didn't eat it
If I told the truth...
...you'll get mad
That's why I lied
And to cover it up
I had to lie more and more
and... and...
Mom
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Maruko
I just wanted you to say "sorry"
I'm sorry
When you were lying...
...did you feel bad?
I felt really really bad
Maruko
About lying
Don't do it again
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Did Maruko really lied to me?
It's alright, Maruko
Learn from it
so you'll grow up
Good afternoon
This is the homework
Actually, I'm here because...
Tama-chan still doesn't know that Mom know already
She is trying to cover for me
That's why she forgot her homework
Tama-chan
Eh?
I'm really sorry
I already told my mom everything
Huh!?
Then she knew I just lied?
Everything!
I'm sorry
Tama-chan, I'm sorry about yesterday
Umm
I won't lie again
Maru-chan, yesterday I felt...
Today, I am feeling really good
Good morning
Maruko-chan is breaking up with Hamjima?
They're still at it?
Forget about it
Baby, such a good weather today. Do you want to take a walk?
Are you kidding? I can't do that
Hamaji doesn't look so good
Dumped by Sakura. Now you are alone
Hey, I never love him to begin with
Things that I said...
...hurted Hamaji's feeling
Hamaji
Can we talk for a bit?
I hate lying
So, I am going to tell you the truth
It's not that I hate you
So, be a little more happy
Sakura
I...
Is he confessing? You can't do that!
the truth is...
about this story...
Toilet
Eh? What's that all about?
What just happened to me?
So you got rejected
Rejected!
Rejected!
Rejected!
Hanawa-kun
Just one more person. One more
Alright, let's stop for now
Are you laughing at me?
This is bad
Please watch the next episode
Episode: Big Crisis at Sakura's Home
Today's song was so pretty
Jogasaki-san is so pretty, and sing so well too
Definitely an idol one day
Right, right
You really think so?
When I'm older, I'll be a baseball star
You want to see something rare?
Something rare?
A signature of Taiyo's Yamashita
Awesome, right?
Super awesome
Eh? You know who he is?
No, but it's a famous person's signature! Very awesome
I also got one. Hideki's signature
Saijo Hideki?
Awesome
Can I have it?
Why?
(Nagasawa is puzzled)
That's so great
I have a plastic model ship by Sukiyama
My dream is to travel around the world
Right?
So you want to be like Marco Polo?
Maruko? You mean me right?
Is it Maruko? (Marco and Maruko)
Yeah. Everyone got something valuable
How about you Hanawa-kun?
Letters from my parents in France
Do you really have it?
Don't have it, do you?
Sorry, but I do have it
Sorry
So cruel
Then, tomorrow, everyone brings your treasure
That one, and that one
Yeah, that one too
Mom, what's your most important treasure?
Well, that would be you and your sister
I mean like valuable item
Item?
Then it would the wedding ring from Dad
Really? Then you must have keep it safe
Grandma, what's your most important treasure?
About that, it's right here
What is this?
I made it for your wedding day
Is this a picture album of me?
That's right
What is this?
A picture of when you were borned
This is me? So tiny
You were borned 10 days earlier than the doctor had predicted
Grandpa was outside yelling 'Banzai'
Dad was staring at you...
...and kept saying "smile"
Everyone was so happy
Quiet down already. This room is not your alone, you know?
Also, don't read my comic without my permission
But you're not reading it now
Give it back, baka
Big Sister
Telephone from Yoshiko-san
Okay
Selfish
Fine, I'll just read another one
To Hideki
I have always watch your TV show
Your new song is so cool
The last part is the blast
Hideki, where do you like to go?
Pen name...
Sacchin
Hey! What are you doing!?
Don't touch my stuff without asking
Pen name...
Sacchin
Sacchin
Stop it
Sacchin
What's do you want?
Ouch, that hurt
At it again?
Argue everyday
Mom, it hurts
Big Sister
You shouldn't bully your sister
She was asking for it
Sacchin
I don't want this kind of younger sister
With a big sister like this, can I have my own room, Mom?
Fine, then go
That hurt!!
Stop it now!
Maruko is always bothering me
She read my stuff without asking
No respect at all
I can't stand it anymore
Sac...chin
Is that what your friends call you?
That's pretty neat
When he whistle
Ahh, so nastalgic
Dad
You're such a good whistler
Stop it already...
Why?
Mom was once young before
I was a 'mo-girl'
'Mo-girl'?
'Modern girl'
(This is the Mom)
(Such a beautiful memory)
At that time Dad was so shocked...
...to hear that a girl is waiting for me
That was Mom
And then what?
At that time, Dad was a 'mo-boy'
'Mo-boy'?
'Modern boy'
I don't get it, but it sounds awesome
Is that right?
(This is Hiroshi)
Wow... that's how Dad met Mom
That's right
And then what?
He doesn't say anything
What is he thinking?
I feel like eating dry squid
Such a quiet person
Dry squid
Excuse me...
I have to go now
Is that so?
Then I'll go with you
Eh? Is he walking me home?
Quickly
So I can go eat dry squid
Let's go
Sound like fun
At that time, Dad felt it
Mom's eyes staring at Dad
Dad's competitor was...
Ishihara Yujiro
(Already lost even with at the name)
He still doesn't say anything
Or maybe he doesn't like me
Dry squid
The scenary is good here
Make me want to whistle
So handsome
Eh?
She likes my whistling?
Eh?
What did I stepped on?
Oh, no
Dog poop
Don't
Don't come closer
I say stop!
So embarrassing
Give me your shoes
Here
Clean again
Thank you very much
Hiroshi-san...
...so great
Sumire-chan...
...so beautiful
Eewww...
Such a great story
Eewww...
Dad used to be handsome. Not like now, though
You heard it?
I heard it
First date, and the dog poop
Dog poop
We're here because of a dog poop?
Mom shouldn't have told me
(Sometimes people are better off not knowing)
So sleepy
I have chores today
and school is so early
Good morning
Ohhh....
Another fight
Hopefully not a big one
Mom
Can we have Sukiyaki tonight?
(Kid has a way of finding out how bad something really is)
Don't be so noisy
Parents' conflict lead to a bad attitude
Dad, you're not eating?
I don't feel like it
It's a big fight afterall
That is it
You're so unconsidered
Then let's divorce!
I see, so that's how it is
Big Sis, there's a big problem! They want a divorce! What should I do?
Stop being so noisy. It'll be okay
It'll be okay
Fine, then I'll leave
Go ahead
Don't go
Mom, don't go!
Maruko
Mom will wait until you come back
Get ready for school
You have to wait okay?
Hurry, or you'll be late
Here's my treasure
- Awesome - This is mine
This is mine
This is Yamashita's signature
What about you, Sakura?
Mine is...
My mom
Did you bring her here?
Bring your mom?
Mom...
Don't know if she's even there now
Mom
Mom
Mom
Mom
Mom
Mom
Mom
Mom, you're here
Welcome back
Why such a hurry?
I thought you might not be here
What're you talking about? Of course, I'm here
That's great. Change your mind?
I was so worry this morning
You know...
Between Dad and Mom...
Who do you want to live with?
Are you really going?
I can't stand it anymore
Where would you go?
Probably... around Shitsuoko
Grandpa. Grandma
What is it, Maruko?
Nothing
Eh? What is going on?
Something is wrong
Big Sis
What is it?
Mom is really leaving
I'll go with Mom
Are you going too?
I'll stay with Dad
Why?
I don't want to leave my school
Beside, with Dad I don't have to worry about money.
But that mean, we will have different last name
No matter what, we both will have different last name
Once separated, we'll get our own room
Isn't that great?
- Big Sis... - Get out already
Stop bothering
After this, I'll be "Kobayashi"
Kobayashi
It's like that guy
(That remind me of "Kobayashi-kun")
Yo!
In a different school...
...what would happen?
Today, we have a new student
Kobayashi Momoko
Please welcome her
Kobayashi Momoko
Please to meet you all
I want to be your friend
She looks just like Momoe-chan
Ready
Momoe-chan
Anyone ever told you that you look like Momoe-chan?
After I transfer, it'll be fun
Starting a new life
It's a good chance
New town. New school. New friends
A dream comes true
Banzai divorce
Banzai
Banzai!
You're so happy
Life is moving forward
Tomorrow, teach me "LiLian" okay?
Good night
How can you said that?
I'm doing it for the family
I am trying my hardest
I don't care about that
I see
I'm really leaving
Go then! So, I can live in peace
Big Sis...
Transfering?
Why?
There's a trouble
But can you do one thing for me?
What is it?
Even if we are apart
I want us to be friends
Maru-chan
This letter
Don't read it now
I'm going now
Maru-chan!
I don't it to be like this
Not being able to see you again
I really don't want it
Tama-chan
Maru-chan
That's right
I can't see you everyday again
Tama-chan
I wanted to transfer school
What was I thinking?
When I think about... the classmates that I love
I really don't want to go
Why is that?
Why did I have to cry?
So lonely
Dad
Mom
Grandpa
Grandma
Big Sis
I want to be with everyone
I will be leaving this room soon
Big Sis
You still haven't teach me about "LiLian"
Maruko...
...loves everyone
I can't let go
I really can't let go
Dad
Mom
Dad
Mom
I love them both
Maruko
Big Sister
I don't want it
I want to be with everyone
Maruko
I don't want to leave you
I also don't want to
I don't want to
I can't choose
Let's be together
We can't live without everyone
I'm sorry
We won't fight again
I will be a good child
Please don't
Please don't
Dad, please don't
Please don't
I'm sorry. I can't leave anyone
I'm sorry
Mom
Good morning
Mom
Mom just smiled?
Mom, what about the moving?
About that, Dad just wanted to buy this
Not a good thing
I just want to be fit, so that I can whistle again
In that case,...
...just drink less beer
No way, I can't stop that
That's why you're so fat
That hurt...
Mom and Dad...
...will compromise
Mom is not going anywhere
You're not going right?
You're sure, right?
I didn't mean to make you worry
Sorry about that
Yeah!
Yeah!
Maruko-chan
Hang on a second
So this is it?
It costs 230,000 yen
But it's worth it
They argued over this?
I cried and worried because of this?
You know
You both really should get a divorce
We...
...will move together
Right?
Good morning
Let's eat
Itadakimasu
Itadakimasu!
Big Sis, I've already decided
About what?
I'll share the room, until you get marry
Me too
I gotta go now
So noisy
Today, I will be extra cheerful
Here, this is for you
Eh?
Really?
Big Sis will be very happy about it
Tama-chan
I'm sorry about yesterday
I know you must have felt lonely
Here
Tama-chan
It's not like that
Everyone...
I told everyone...
...that you're going to transfer
- Actually -This is from me Sugiyama
This is for you. Don't forget about us alright?
Sakura-kun, use it to write to me

Sorry!
The thing about transfering
It has been cancelled
I... also don't know what to say
That's why. I can't accept anyone's gift
Obviously
But this one...
I want to give it to my sister. So, she can say thank you
Maru-chan, you can't do that
Just as I thought
You made us worry
Sakura
I'm sorry
But it's not my fault
It's mo-boy's and mo-girl's fault
(And so, Maruko continues to study with her friends)
Let's exercise
Let's begin
