The wind calls out to me.
Delicious!
It's unbelievably delicious!
First, I need to get things sorted in my head.
Why is Menma here?
A mother-in-law is driven to suicide by her unfaithful daughter-in-law,
Incredible Ghosts
and returns from beyond the grave!

It would make sense to assume that she has some regrets...
...from this life that are keeping her from moving on to the next one.
Nothing comes to mind...
The Menma I used to know was always...
...smiling.
Who would like such an ugly-
I always wanted to apologise to her,
and it's wasn't just as a show of good faith.
I know that much.
Ah! This might be Menma's wish,
for you to go to school.
School...
We Still Don't Know
the Name of the Flower
We Saw
That Day.
nan peeji mo tsuiyashite tsudurareta bokura no kibun
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
doushiteka ichigyou no kuuhaku wo umerarenai
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

忘れかけの煉瓦を積み上げた場所に行こう
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

Just like that, the present approaches me without pressing any questions

Although the two of you are still right there,

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
douka shiteru mitai
どうかしてるみたい
There must be something wrong with me
Huh? Why are you going to school?
Pretty self-explanatory, I think.
You don't have to overdo it.
What's that supposed to mean?
You were the one who was bugging me to go before.
Before is before... line up in the front!
Jintan...
Don't worry about me.
B-But... You've had such a grim face all morning.
Teeth are clean as can be!
Jintan...?
So there's a wish you want him to grant, huh?
Hey, you should rely on me as well.
I want to help you get to Heaven.
Is Jintan's mum in Heaven?
What's it like to be in Heaven, I wonder...
Stay cool.
Got to stay cool.
That's right.
My mind is empty.
Empty.
Surprised to see them coming to school as if nothing has happened.
Yeah, you're right. It's that... You know...
That girl from Class 1-3.
Yep, yep.
Anjou Naruko.
Hey.
Anjou.
See? It really was true.
Anjou...
Looks like it.
Seriously!? Anjou has?
This is kind of a let down.
Though, a few people seem to have noticed me.
Who's that?
Isn't that the guy who never comes?
No way!
She had to see the Principal?
Should have played it safer.
It's not like a love hotel is that big of a deal, though.
Looks like Anjou has me completely beat.
With things like this, it feels like all that preparation this morning was for nothing...
But...
They say she got spotted by the PTA.
Apparently, she was with an old man!
What a freak!
But...
Take your seats, please.
Um... Let's begin class.
Anjou, take a seat as well.
Everyone, open your textbooks.
You screwed up bad, huh, Naruko?
Among the many feelings that influenced the writing of this story,
there was a substantial amount of anger.
First, there was the author's anger at being betrayed by his wife.
Even at a time like this, she's taking notes.
She was just the same back then... She wasn't smart or capable,
even though she always tried her best.
Man, Anjou's putting out.
If I ask her, maybe she'll sleep with me, too.
It's not like that. I didn't...
Don't mess with me!!!
Shut your mouths!!
Die!!
Anjou...
H e l p m e
What a freak!
With an old man?
Wonder if I could do her?
Really? With him?
H-Hey, you guys!
Look... Look at me!
I-I'm the boy who... w-who is hardly coming to school...
I-I only came to the entrance ceremony, and the first week of classes.
H-How does it feel to look at this face?
Not everyone gets to see it!
Face?
Um... You're Yadomi-kun?
Ji-Jin-
You can meet this girl anywhere and at any time, if you feel like it!
A love hotel?
That's all it takes to create a scandal like this?
Any way you look at her, it's obvious she's been to a love hotel or two.
S-She's just got that look!
Wai-
That's why...!
I'll tell you one thing.
There's no way in hell she'd sell her body!
Moreover, her blood type is A, and she's a Capricorn.
She was never adventurous, and she was so damn straight-laced.
She was dour. She wore glasses. She hoarded a lot of things.
She liked everything to be clean and in order.
She's likes collecting small things since she was a child.
She had these glasses, and she was boring as hell.
H-Hey, what're you telling them that stuff for?!
Here, grab your bag.
We're going, Yadomi.
H-Hey!
W-Wait!
Naruko...
"Look at me!"
There's no way you could interpret that, without making you sound like a weirdo.
Shut up, already.
But...
Thanks.
For looking out for me.
N-No, that was just...
But... I don't have a love hotel sort of look!
I really didn't go to a love hotel.
I mean, I've never even been to one!
Fine, fine... I get it already.
What's "fine, fine"!?
Just go home, already.
Your mum's worried, right?
Hey, where are you going?!
Your house is this way!
I can't go home.
Huh?
It's obvious that the school has already contacted her.
I'll definitely get yelled at.
And she would never forgive something like this.
Hey, Anjou!
No, it's not quite like that, either...
Episode 6
Forget Me, Forget Me Not
H-Hey!
What do you mean that you're staying here, Anaru?
Just until things cool down.
What do you mean by "cool down"?
This is my castle, and it's soaked with countless guys' sweat, tears and god knows what else.
We all helped make it, right?
Here's the proof!
Look!
I carved Hamtaro here!
Hamtaro...?
It looks more like a sausage than a ham to me...
Let's start with these tissues.
They stink of semen.
H-Hey!
Don't touch that!
Yuck!
What's this!?
It's rotten!
What's she planning to do?
Even if she's going to stay here, we'd better tell her mum.
We don't want any other problems.
She's not nearly as brave as she acts.
She always hid behind Menma and all.
Jinta-san.
Is Menma here right now?
No, she's not here...
Really?!
Then, do you want to go by her house?
We might find a clue about her wish.
You...
I want you to grant Menma's wish.
Jintan?
I think it might be better if she went herself.
But I'm not sure it'd be good to just say we're going to her house when she's around.
You've got a lot more tact than I would've thought.
Well, I did earn the fifth level of shamanism in Vietnam.
You seriously got something like that?
Right, then.
Now that we've made up our minds, I'll mail Yukiatsu, as well.
Um... His address, his address...

That's what it's like when you're in prep school.
Guess so.
But I figured that even though we hadn't met in years, we'd all be the same.
Looks like that's not the case.
I suppose time waits for no man.
Hey, can we call it quits on going to Menma's today?
Huh? Why?
Well, now that I think about it, we never went to her house back then.
Her dad was some big shot, wasn't he?
Still... This might be a good chance, you know.
Huh?
To burn some incense for her and pay our respects.
Yadomi?
I was just worried about how her mum would feel if we went.
I can't believe you all came.
Meiko would be so thrilled, too.
Come in, come in!
Would you like to pay your respects to Meiko?
Ah, yes.
Why am I feeling so uneasy?
Menma is dead.
I already knew that when I came here, but...
This is her room.
Come in.
Hey, Tsurumi-san...
Minako was wondering if you could give this to Matsuyuki-kun.
N-No, it's fine...
You're in the same class.
Give it to him yourself.
Wait, Tsurumi-san!
Don't act so arrogant!
Looking down on us just because you're always so close to him...
Huh?
We all know that you like Matsuyuki-kun!
What do you mean?
Tsurumi.
What's wrong?
Let's go!
Yeah!
You're leaving?
Take care!
There have been a lot of weirdos around recently.
You're always having to put up with other girls getting jealous, huh?
Sorry to cause you so much trouble.
I bet if I showed them that photo of you in girls' clothing,
it wouldn't be a problem any longer.
Guess so.
By the way, Yadomi and the others were going to Menma's house.
Huh... So they're starting to take what Yadomi says seriously.
We are who we are.
The past will never truly pass.
You're Matsuyuki Atsumu.
I can't deny that.
So, you've finally decided to be honest with yourself.
It's not like you'd listen to my excuses, anyway.
He really pisses me off.
Yadomi?
Even though I'm ahead of him now in everything from grades to social status,
he can still throw me for a spin just like he could back then.
Dragging up Menma's name after all these years...
How much does he plan on making us all suffer?
It was his fault that day, too.
If he just hadn't told us to meet at the secret base...
That day... Wasn't it Menma's idea?
Huh?
Yes, that's right... Menma called us.
Called...
That's right!
She had something she wanted to talk about.
Yes. She told us that she had something to talk to us about.
Menma's diary.
I'm surprised her mum lent it to us so easily.
She was a lovely mum, wasn't she?
But... It was really sad to see her room like that.
My husband told me I had to let go and tidied up her room.
All of Meiko's things are in these boxes.
It can't be helped.
Looking at those things would just cause her more pain.
If she saw them...
I can't claim to understand what it's like to be a mother, but...
The feelings they have for their children are definitely deep and complex.
You're the last person I'd expect to hear that from.
I guess maybe I should head home for a bit.
Huh?!
I-It's not like I'm worried about my mum or anything.
I just remembered something I was supposed to tell her.
Later!
She just can't be honest with herself...
Anyway, we've got her diary.
Let's go back to the secret base and read it.
Could you... wait for a bit?
I'm... supposed to be making dinner tonight.
And I never even finished washing the dishes from breakfast.
See you!
I'll just take a look on my own, then!
N-No, don't look at it until I'm with you!
Don't, okay?!
So just me, huh?
If I looked at it, it would've just been painful.
Then maybe it's better if I just don't look at it?
No, but...
Ah, Jintan! Welcome home!
How was school?
If I looked...
It might be even more...
Huh?
I don't know how to say this, but today we sort of...
Ran into your mum a-
Mine!
Huh?
Mine!
Hey!
Why?!
Why did you do that?
I don't really know how to answer that...
Menma...
If you do that...
...Mum will remember about Menma.
Huh?
Menma...
...caused Mum so much pain.
Menma doesn't...
...want to make her even more sad than she already is.
I don't want her to remember Menma any more.
You don't want her to remember you?
I think that's impossible...
Because-
Even if it's impossible!
Even if it's just a little,
I want Mum to...
...forget Menma.
Don't lie!
You said it, yourself.
That you would be happy if she hadn't forgotten about you.
You said it, right?
But...
Pull yourself together!
You were always like that...
Always just worrying about others.
Huh?
Think about yourself for a change!
It gets on my nerves when you act like that!
Laughing like you're fine when you're hurt...
Only crying because of others' pain...
Why am I yelling like this?
Jintan...
I just...!
Jintan!
Your nose is bleeding!
Huh?
Oh, no. Um... Um...
Stuff some tissues inside!
W-Wa-
Tissues!
Sleep facing upwards!
It'll stop if you...
Huh? Jintan?
Sorry... I'm going out for a minute.
But it's really late!
Jintan...
What am I doing?
Really, what am I doing?
Yadomi?
What are you doing here at this time?
How about you? Didn't you go hom-
What's with the way you're dressed?
N-No, this is...
...just leftover blood from a nosebleed I just had.
It's not because I got turned on by a girl like yo-
W-Wait, calm down...
Pervert!
Ecchi! Sketchy! One touchy!
No doubt about it.
She's definitely a virg-
