I'm here because I got told off, just like I said I would.
She could've been a namahage with the way she was behaving.
TL Note: Namahage are demons that villagers in the Oga peninsula dress up as on New Year's to frighten children.
When I threatened her to run away from home,
she just told me to do my worst.
I guess she completely called my bluff.
Yadomi?
Why'd you bring th-
I can't sleep without it!
And this towel?
I need that to sleep, too!
Just how soundly are you going to try to sleep?
Calm down and just think this through.
There's no way you can keep this up.
You've got to go to school, right?
That's rich, coming from you.
Listen to me, Anjou.
Skipping school can lead to major problems.
Huh?
The first time you do it, there's no problem.
Nobody bats an eyelid if you don't go to school for one day.
But exactly because nobody cares about that one day, the days you take off just keep piling up.
And before you know it, you're completely...
Can't believe I have the nerve to lecture someone else about all this.
I see...
I see.
I guess you're right.
You're pretty amazing, Yadomi!
Nobody would believe that you're a shut-in.
You...
You really haven't changed, after all.
Always thinking about other people,
even when you're the one that's in trouble.
Pull yourself together!
You were always like that... Always just worrying about others!
I think you've got me confused with someone else.
Menma was always the one who...
Um, you know...
I talked to Yukiatsu about this, too, but...
We've been getting really hung up on Menma, haven't we?
I kind of wondered whether or not that was a good thing.
I can't really help it when she's living with me.
Yeah...
That's kind of what I wanted t-
D-Don't tell me you don't believe she's really there?
N-No, it's not that I don't believe it...
I'm going home.
Wait, Yadomi!
Anaru, I bought us some beef curry!
It was only 520 yen!
Beef curry: retreat!
N-No, it's not like that!
I was just getting the di-
My beef curry!
We Still Don't Know

We Saw
That Day.

How many pages wasted to compose our feelings

But for some reason, I can't fill the blank space of one single line

There must be something wrong with me
Maybe we'll find some answers about Menma's wish in here.
Here goes...
Within these pages lies a Menma I never knew before...
...and memories of her that were never mine.

Sunny
Today, I played with everyone.
I had fun.
This is...
...not exactly specific.
There's no difference between them, except that one has "it was fun", and the other one has "I had fun".
She never was the best at writing.
Hey, this one's a little different.
"Today, I fell over while playing with everyone. It hurt."
Ah, this one's different, too!
"Today, we all went to see Jintan's mum at the hospital."
At the hospital, huh?
Now that I think about it, we went around in a big group like that a lot, didn't we?
Mum!
Jintan's mum is always in the hospital...
I've got it!
Let's write a letter to God!
We can ask him to help your mum get well soon!
How?
Jintan, look!
Ryuusei Fireworks
Oh, yeah.
Back then, we...
Jintan?
"We decided to make fireworks together."
"I'm sure it'll be really difficult."
"But I'll do my best."
I remember!
She said we should put a letter into...
...a firework rocket so we could deliver it to God.
Hey! This might be her wish!
Yeah! That has to be right!
We tried making one back then, but we didn't get it right.
Right, Yadomi?
For... my mother...
Slow Jintan...
No good Jintan...
Evil Jintan...
Who cares about Jintan?
If you eat your meals in the middle of the night, you'll turn into a pig.
Then it looks like you're going to turn into a pig.
Huh?
Ah... Egg soup ramen...
I figured I'd go with this since they didn't have any Ken-chan Ramen.
I thought it might cheer you up, even if I had to force you to eat it.
Jintan...
Delicious!
Dad will be home soon, so eat it quickly.
Oh, yeah.
I'll be going to school again tomorrow.
So... don't go following me or anything.
Well done!
Here's your prize. Open wide!
I-I don't want it!
Don't go doing any weird things again, okay?
So why are you wearing your uniform even though you're cutting class?
W-Who cares about what I wear?
I can dress however I like.
No luck.
Huh?
Under current laws for the regulation of explosives,
to handle the gunpowder needed for fireworks,
you have to be over 18 and have permission from the state.
Seriously?
We might be able to get a batch of toy fireworks,
but even that requires a license.
No good, huh?
Looks like it.
I guess when you stop and think about it, it's not surprising you'd need permission.
Oh, yeah.
Now that you mention it, when I was cleaning the other day...
You've got to be kidding me.
"First, gather a bunch of fireworks together."
"Then, take all the gunpowder from them and put it in one big pile!"
"Putting it in a toilet roll tube is no good because it'll burn."
Well, that's obvious.
Paper: How to make fireworks
Man, kids are scary as hell!
Paper: How to make fireworks
But we used to think that this would actually work, didn't we?
Yep. We thought that we could make it fly with a crazy idea like this.
It looked more amazing than anything I had seen at festivals.
I was sure it'd fly.
It flew!
When old men look at high school students like us,
I bet they think we have the world at our feet.
Yeah.
Somehow, back then was the time that I felt like I could do anything.
It's all fine and well telling us to look for a way to make it work, but...
No matter how you think about it, it's pretty hopeless.
Anyway, you do know that if you're wrong about this being Menma's wish,
it's going to be a total waste of time.
Hey, Yadomi...
You're living with Menma, right?
Can't you ask her?
Yukiatsu...
I think...
I think I might be afraid to ask her outright.
Later...
I just had déjà-vu for a moment.
Huh?
Yadomi, who always ran on ahead...
...and poor Yukiatsu, who was always left behind.
Hey. Why didn't you tell them?
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 phoned us.
Phoned...
That's right!
She had something she wanted to talk about.
You finally remembered, right?
Why didn't you tell them?
Because Yadomi was there.
You've forgotten something important.
When Menma told us to meet at the secret base, she said to keep it a secret from Yadomi.
Menma said that?
Episode 7
The Real Wish
Fireworks?
I know someone who can make them.
Really?
Yeah. One of the old guys at work teaches people how to make them when festivals roll around.
You want to make fireworks, Jinta?
Y-Yeah...
Why?
"Why?" I guess I kind of just... do...
On your own?
N-No...
With Poppo and the rest.
What is it?
No, it's nothing.
Guess I'll ask him for you, then.
Huh!?
Jintan, Jintan, Jintan!
I'm stuck in Condal Town!
What do you want me to do? Should I get in touch with him?
Ah, can we talk about this later?
Huh?
That's right.
Even simple ones will cost quite a bit to make.
It's not that I can't do it, but...
Welcome back!
How'd it go?
200,000 Yen!?
I've never even seen that much money!
I know, right?
Don't worry.
We'll work something out!
Anaru and I will work ourselves to the bone, right?
Hey! Don't go dragging me into stuff without asking!
Work...
It's fine, right?
We'll help each other.
But...
It's fine.
If you're earning something seven days a week, it'll be no problem!
Hey! I didn't even say I'd do it yet!
I'll work, too!
Huh?
You key in the amount of money here.
This button's for pre-owned items, and this one's for new stock.
And you put the money in here, right?
How come it took me a month to master that, and yet you've already got it?
A whole month to master this?
Welcome!
Welcome...
This sort of stuff isn't really your strong point, though.
Shut up...
Here are some more customers.
Welcome!
Look. She's really here...
So the rumours were true...
Skipping school, but making it to her part-time job.
Hey. Isn't that the guy who never comes to school?
You're right. Can he even do something like this?
W-Welcome!
H-How was that?
Not bad, right?
W-What're you laughing about?
I wonder...
When we're together like this,
it feels just like it did back then.
Give me some tape, Jintan!
I-I mean Yadomi...
Here you go, Anaru!
D-Don't call me that any more!
Nice catch!
So, Yadomi's got a part-time job?
Looks like he's serious about these fireworks.
What do you think?
Should we try and put together a little fund-raiser of our own?
You're going to indulge Yadomi?
If you're not up for it, I won't bother, but...
Hey... want to go out?
Let's go for tea or something.
I can't. We have exams soon.
I'd expect no less from the fourth best in the class.
You seem to forget that you're second.
See you.
Plus, it's kind of tiring to be around you.
Here goes!
I'm home!
Jintan, what're you doing home so late?
This is unacceptable!
Jintan?
I'm going to go take a bath.
There's definitely something weird going on.
He goes to sleep right away at night...
I'm going!
See you later!
...and leaves first thing in the morning.
Welcome to today's Doggy Corner!
It's settled. If the dog's a girl, Jintan's up to something.
Today's dog is Oscar, a seven year old female.
Pugs are so cute!
Look at her little jowls!
It's a girl...
Coming!
Good morning.
Please sign this register of names.
Right...
By the way, has Jinta-kun dropped out of school?
N-No. Why do you ask?
I don't mean to pry, but...
I saw him at what I guess must be his part-time job...
Maybe he hasn't told you about it, then?
Ah, yes, but... How to put it?
I believe children deserve freedom...
So, I've left it all up to Jinta.
It's fine.
It's unfine!
Note: This is intentionally bad English; Menma uses the wrong form of an adjective in Japanese.
Unfine! Unfine! Unfine!
Unfine!
Anaru...
Oh, Poppo?
Yeah, I'm not on my shift.
I'm getting along well with the manager there, though.
He'll be with you tonight, right?
Huh? A construction site on Hitsuji Mountain?!
Isn't that pretty heavy work to begin with?
Well, yes...
I guess you make the most money working in that sort of area.
I guess when that firework goes up, it's going to be taking all of our money with it, too.
Firework...
Menma's... wish...
Think about yourself for a change!
It gets on my nerves when you act like that!
Ah, yes, I guess so.
Hey. Do you hear from Yukiatsu?
From time to time.
They really should have come along, as well.
We all know they're thinking about Jintan.
Huh? "Jintan"?
What?
Jintan is Jintan.
You call him that, yourself, don't you?
Am I not allowed to or something?
Jintan...
Jintan!
Hey, new guy! Over here!
Yes?!
Need you over here now!
Right!
He works hard, doesn't he?
He sure does.
Jintan's pretty cool.
All this time that Menma hasn't been thinking about herself,
Jintan has been thinking about Menma.
Hey. Watch your feet!
Right!
Hey. What're you doing?
Don't go moving the lights around!
What happened?
Was it... the wind?
You think the wind could move the lights?
Jintan's so cool...
Shining in the light...
Jintan's so cool...
This is...
I made so much!
There's a limit to how much I can eat, you know...
It's really good!
Really?
It tastes just like Mum's cooking.
Hey, Jintan...
Is school difficult?
Y-Yeah...
But it's kind of fun, too.
Fun?
How should I say this?
It's almost easier than being cooped up in the house all day.
You feel much more alive.
Alive...
Ah, no. I don't mean that literally.
Up until now, I've sort of...
Menma...
When Menma sees Jintan so full of life,
she feels like she's alive, too!
Menma...
For now, here's a down payment!
Ah, right...
This isn't nearly enough yet,
but is it enough for you to start making it?
Please!
About that...
I'm afraid I can't really help you any more.
I just talked to the person in charge of the festival,
and he got angry and told me I couldn't help high school students.
I'm terribly sorry.
You've got to be kidding!
We've been working so hard!
Who's the person in charge?
I'll talk to that person, myself!
It's Honma-san.
Menma's...
