Jinta-kun.
What are you going to do about today?
I'm not going to school.
I see. I'm going to work, then.
I wonder why Dad isn't hard on me...
Though I like it better this way.
No. I'd prefer him to be hard on me.
You can't do that, Jintan!
You have to go to school!
You have to thank Anaru!
Hey, you...
Come to... school.
You heard that?
Since she gathered the Nokemon together with us.
I'll slap you on the wrist if you break your promise!
Ah, yeah.
This might be Menma's wish, you know.
For you to go to school, Jintan.
So it's that kind of thing, huh?
Huh?
J-Jintan?
I'm changing clothes, so get out.
This is the beast of the summer, suddenly appearing before me,
shoving these unreasonable requests down my throat.
My illusion.
But probably...
Menma wants you to grant her wish!
The calendar says it's early autumn,
but the beast of the summer still remains in the house,
driving me out,
leaving me no choice but to...
No choice but to...
...go to school.
We Still Don't Know
the Name of the Flower
We Saw
That Day.

何ページも費やしてつづられた僕らの気分
How many pages wasted to compose our feelings

どうしてか一行の空白を埋められない
But for some reason, I can't fill the blank space of one single line
oshibana no shiori hasande
押し花のしおり挟んで
Enclosing that pressed-flower bookmark

君と転がす使い捨ての自転車
I rolled down with you on that abandoned bike

Let's go to the place of piled-up bricks we'd started to forget

Running up that hill facing the sea

怖いくらいに青い空と
The sky so blue that it's frightening and

A soda in my left hand, My right hand always searching for you

そうやって今は僕の方へ 問い詰めることもなくて
Just like that, the present approaches me without pressing any questions

Although the two of you are still right there,
douka mata ae masu you ni nante
どうかまた会えますようになんて
I'm hoping we'll be able to meet again

There must be something wrong with me
So hot...
Cicadas...
People...
Cicadas...
Sweat...
The sun...
Sweat...
People...
Glancing...
I feel sick...
I should really...
A...
You came... to school.
Sort... of.
I see.
I-It's not because you told me to or anything!
I see.
Hm?
Is that really Yadomi?
Great! You made it to school.
Aki! Haruna!
Morning, Naruko! Yadomi, too.
It's okay, it's okay.
No one will care that you didn't come for a whole semester.
Or should I say, nobody's concerned with you to begin with.
Hey, hey! Haruna!
Hold on! That's too far...
Even so, isn't the power of love amazing?
It's because you went over to his house?
Wh...!
So hot! Love is so hot!
Stop it! As if I'd be in love with this kind of guy...
Ah...
It's hot... huh?
Yeah, that's right, isn't it?
Huh?
Even if I don't get beaten by this heat,
I can't work myself up into coming to a zoo full of imbeciles like you.
Jin... Yadomi?
Ah? So, in the end, you're still going home?
Say, say.
Could that have been a "parting shot" at the end?
No way?!
That was it?
Oh. House-sitting...
...is boring!
Sorry for intruding.
An adventure in Jintan's home!
Hm, this room is...
Hm, hm.
Ah... I see.
Jintan's mother died.
You were much more beautiful than in this photo.
Menma doesn't really like her photo either.
But Menma always ends up doing a "Peace" sign when someone takes her photo,
so there might not have been many photos without it.
Even though Menma died, too,
at least for now, Menma is doing well.
Huh?
I'm crying again.
I'll make Jintan angry.
How pathetic.
Stop letting your dog run free!
The promise I made with Anaru has nothing to do with it.
It's because Menma... My illusion told me to go to school.
And maybe some part of me, too...
Maybe I should go home...
You can't do that, Jintan!
You have to go to school!
I can't go home... Right...
Ventura Ventura Space People.
Ventura Ventura Space People!
Ventura Ventura Space People.
What are you doing?
Oh, partner!
P-Partner?
I saw it, too!
What did you see?
Isn't it obvious?
I saw Menma!
Huh?
I've also become quite amazing...
How come my illusion is...
It was probably miraculous timing.
My piss went like this, drawing a "Miracle Curve".
At that point it must've been a Delta, OK?
Something appeared!
Are you sure you didn't mistake what you saw?
Hm? No, no.
My eyesight is as good as Ousmane's.
Menma has really matured.
M-Matured?
Yeah, she was a fine woman.
W-What was she wearing?
Hm?
That white one piece dress she often wore in summer?
If I recall correctly, she came back because she wanted to have her wish fulfilled, right?
I'm thinking real hard now. Jintan!
I'm going home.
Huh?
It's my turn to make dinner tonight. See ya.
Dinner?
It's just before noon.
What?
Curry?
Curry that's been stewed for eight hours?!
I want to eat some, too!
Hey, Jintan!
I want some, too...
Huh?
A grown up Menma...
Welcome back!
I-I'm home.
No, I mean... You!
That was fast, Jintan.
Huh? Ah... um...
T-Today was only the opening ceremony, so it f-finished early.
Ah, yeah!
You... What's this?
I was having home economics class!
You were just doing whatever you wanted to.
This...
I'm hungry!
Hurry up!
Wait up!
Hey! Don't push, Poppo!
Mum! Do you have that?
I do.
Jinta, you came?
Go on.
Mum.
Hm?
Everyone wants to eat your steamed buns.
I'm sorry.
Jinta-kun! Hey, wait.
Jintan?
Jintan...
Jintan!
Let's eat, let's eat!
Ah, yeah.
I'm digging in!
The ones Jintan's mum made were more delicious.
Maybe because I didn't have any raisins.
I'll practice more and more and make you more and more delicious ones!
More?
You're planning to stay here forever?
I can't?
Y-You can't, I mean...
Ah, that's right.
Did you go to Poppo's place too?
Huh?
I don't know anything about that.
I was at home the whole time.
But he said that he saw you.
Ah!
Could that be my spirit?
Then, what does that make you?
I'm Honma Meiko!
This is going nowhere.
It's so-so, I suppose?
A spirit or whatever... It's fine.
Hm?
Nothing.
There's an eggshell in this one.
Huh? Hm... Calcium?
You still haven't decided yet?
I still have things I need to do, you know...
Sorry.
Just a little longer.
What is it?
It's Hisakawa.
Hisakawa... You mean Poppo?
Oh?
You two exchanged email addresses.
Hisakawa Tetsudou
Menma found!
Found... Menma?
Is that going to be a gift?
Yes.
I'm jealous. You're such a lucky girlfriend.
Ah... Um...
We have many other ones, as well, so please take your time looking...
You always make me tag along,
but who are you supporting with all this?
Menma Search Party
Episode 3
Not telling.
Yadomi
Atsushi
Touko
Jinta
Shut up, shut up!
It's the newspaper!
We don't get newspapers.
It's okay, it's okay.
Here you go.
Huh?
What's this?
Extra edition
"Let's have a "Menma Search Party"
at the end of summer with everyone.
6PM
At the secret base
"The End of Summer Event: Menma Search Party"?
Menma, the cool evening, and a barbecue.
I have no clue what the point of this is, though.
Well, well, well.
At any rate, you're definitely participating!
See you!
What do you mean by "definitely"? Hey!
"Everyone" means...
Seems fun! Menma wants to look for Menma, too!
Say, what are you going to bring?
No one said that I'm going to go.
Say you'll go!
Huh?
Ah! This might be the wish Menma wants fulfilled!
Menma might want to see Menma's spirit!
Aren't you using that "wish" thing pretty conveniently for yourself?
Hm?
Enjoying the cool of the evening, having a barbecue, thinking and talking a lot about Menma's wish.
Note: Everyone needs to provide their own supplies !!
Say, Naruko.
Let's go karaoke on the way home!
Huh? Ah... Um...
Sorry, I'll pass for tonight.
Is it really okay to only bring Bavarian sausages even though it's a barbecue?
This was the only thing in the fridge I could bring.
Anyhow, I'm sure somebody will bring something.
You also have Menma's steamed buns!
That's...
Ah...
Hm?
Ah!
Anaru!
Look, it's Anaru! Let's go together!
Oh? Huh? Jintan!
Wait!
Hey, Jintan!
What's wrong?
There's something I have to...
Jin... tan!
Yadomi...
What are you doing?
Nothing.
See ya.
Huh?
Ah, hey! You can't do that!
You have to go together as friends!
Making such a show of falling over like that...
We're going to the same place, anyway!
Good evening.
Yo!
It's Tsuruko!
Whoa! That ponytail looks good on you!
Poppo. You also called Tsuru... Tsurumi-san?
You read the newspaper extra closely?
It says "everyone", so it means everyone.
What's this?
Masala chai.
TL note: Masala chai is spiced Indian tea.
But even if you said "everyone", Yukiatsu won't come, right?
I feel like he'd never believe something like this.
He'll probably come.
Huh?
Jintan, lift that side up just a little more.
O-Okay.
Jintan, do your best!
How do you like this portable cooking stove?
I borrowed it from the old man at the place I work.
Where's the food for the barbecue?
I brought Bavarian sausages with me.
I brought candles.
Huh?
We're going to summon Menma, right?
I thought we'd need props suitable for something like a ghost story.
Ghost story?
A-Ah, thank you.
And where are the ingredients for the barbecue?
Oh. I don't eat much at night, so don't mind me.
Hey, hey. Tsuruko-san only thought about herself.
Selfish girls really turn me on.
Idiot!
Um...
I thought everyone would bring their own food with them,
and I didn't want to bring the same food as someone else, so...
Fireworks?
We're not children, you know.
Wh-!?
Hey, hey, hey! Calm down!
I brought this!
W-What's this?
It's called Kheer.
I ate it when I went to India.
It's a sweet dish of boiled rice with milk.
Heh. It looks like vomit.
In the end, this doesn't make it a barbecue either.
Want to try and fry this like an okonomiyaki, then?
I'm fine with just Bavarian sausages.
All right!
It finally lit.
Can't have a barbecue without fire.
How do you say it? We really did "gather" together.
Even though many years have passed....
How do you make crabs again?
Crab-san?
You can make Crab-san?
It's the same as charcoal.
Hm?
It was originally something made by burning trees, right?
The fire just wouldn't light,
but when I remember that, it bursts into flames all at once.
That's not a good metaphor or anything.
Oh, really?
W-Want me to help?
Not really.
Help with the barbecue.
There's only a bag of Bavarian sausages...
For the time being, I finished my part.
Crab?
A white one piece.
Yeah.
Menma used to wear one a lot.
It's just like what you said.
I'm easily influenced.
I was back then... and even now, I haven't changed.
This looks like Menma's, but she didn't wear mini-dresses like this.
Some of my high school friends wear them,
but I'm sure they don't pick white.
Even I... think about it and wear it in my own way.
It soon spreads around, though...
In my own way... In that way, in various...
What's the benefit in telling me all of this?
You want me to say, "Yeah, you're great."
You're wrong.
I probably just wanted to be scolded...
...for only going with the flow.
Whoa!
Look, Jintan!
It's Crab-san!
And Octopus-san, too!
Delicious!
This really has an authentic German taste!
No doubt about it.
Yeah!
You understand, too, Tsuruko?!
It's surprisingly good.
Really?
Right?
Jintan, Crab-san will get burned!
It's something like a dessert...
That aside, "Menma's wish," huh...
Yeah.
You'll also help, right?
You believe in it?
I-I...
Aw, Crab-san...
...think it's okay to believe in it.
Huh?
I see.
Then... me, too.
Huh?
So you'll help us, then!
As expected from Tsuruko!
Say, Jintan! The Super Peace Busters really...
The Super Peace Busters really are the greatest!
"Super Peace..."?
It's been a while since I've heard that name.
Whoa! It's really nostalgic!
What are you saying?
You're all on active service!
Don't cry.
I-I'm not crying!
I'm not crying...
At this rate, Menma will get all nostalgic and suddenly come back, right?
What?
That's quite the welcome.
Yukiatsu!
It's been a while.
What? It's only Yukiatsu.
Huh?
You're Anjou, right?
Yeah. It's been a while.
I brought vegetables and ribs.
And some herb salt and olive oil.
Yay! As expected from Yukiatsu!
You really did come.
He's on a different level than those useless girls!
What did you say?!
But you really surprised me there.
I completely thought Menma had arrived...
Menma was there, a ways back.
Huh?
No way!
R-Really?!
Where?
kimi to natsu no owari shourai no yume ooki na kibou wasurenai
I won't forget the end of summer with you, the dreams for the future, the great hopes
Where was she!?
Over there, in the valley.
All right!
Let's go, Jintan!
Yeah!
Huh? H-Hey!
juunen go no hachigatsu mata deaeru no wo shinjite
I believe we'll meet again in August 10 years from now
W-Wait up!

Looks like you're not the only one...

The best memories...
