Morning!
Good morning.
Is Sora up yet?
Still in front of the mirror.
Good morning.
Morning.
Are you working late again?
And tonight too.
Shall I save dinner for you?
Yes, thanks.
That's real service.
The hospital's short-handed this week.
Onee-chan, I got a hole in my sock!
Leave it by the sewing machine.
More holes?
It's not my fault that my socks keep shrinking.
This is for you.
Onee-chan, pack me a jumbo lunch.
Don't you eat enough already?
Here Riku-chan, have my fried egg.
All right!
You need it more, Hokuto-san.
Who's the doctor here?
You drown everything in soy sauce.
I like it that way.
Me too.
Hirokouji-san, breakfast is ready!
Okay!
Good morning.
You and Hirokouji-san can have my share.
Thanks.
Can I make you some tea?
No thanks, I've had some.
Good morning!
Morning.
Thanks.
Please go ahead, everyone.
Let's eat!
You're late.
I can't get my hair right.
It looks fine like that.
I'm starving.
Working late again, Hokuto-san?
Yes.
This is Hirokouji-san's share.
Being in training is pretty tough, isn't it?
I'm off!
Bye.
Good morning.
Morning.
Need a lift?
Thanks, but I'll walk.
Suit yourself.
Can you hang the laundry?
Of course.
See you this afternoon.
Bye, then.
KONAN ACADEMY
There she is.
Morning.
Look!
Isn't this about you?
It has to be.
Who else raises flags every morning?
FAIR GIRL, WHY DO YOU RAISE YOUR FLAGS TO THE SKY?
"The wind carries them aloft to mingle with the crows."
"Fair girl, red and white, trimmed with blue, your flags fly again today."
See?
It must be about you.
I guess.
So it's about you.
Try a note in a bottle next time.
Back off Math Club creep!
He practically lives at the clubhouse.
I know!
All rise!
We grabbed a table.
Wow, it's pretty crowded today.
Okay.
Nobuko, over here!
I'm famished.
What, curry udon again?
Why not?
I like it.
Anyway, you're one to talk.
You have Anpan again!
So?
I like bread.
Umi's lunches look so good.
You should try making your own.
No way, no way.
I could. I just don't have enough time.
Here we go.
What are those guys up to now?
One, two!
One, two. One, two. One, two...
All right, drop the banners.
Latin Quarter Anti-Demolition League
Ah! It ripped!
Go.
Go for it!
Look this way, you two.
That was cool.
Are you okay?
So stupid...
I'm home.
Welcome back.
Thanks.
My pleasure.
That should do it.
Today's fish was really cheap.
Thanks. I think I'll deep-fry it.
I have to see grandmother.
Grandma? It's me.
Come in.
In the black again this month.
You're managing things beautifully.
Only because you're covering Tomoko-san's wages for us.
It's nothing.
I'd have hired her anyway, even without the boarders.
But isn't this too much work for you?
I worry sometimes.
It doesn't feel so lonely with everyone here.
I know. But still...
It makes me so sad, watching you raise those flags every day.
No one knows how much you miss your father.
I hope you find someone wonderful soon.
Then you won't need those flags anymore.
Madam?
Come in.
I'm finished for the day.
Thank you.
I should get dinner ready.
That was quite a stunt.
No kidding.
Some of the girls are even starting a fan club.
What's his name?
Kazama Shun. He's a live wire.
The electrician's son?
Hiro-chan, you're so dense.
"Fair girl, why do you raise a flag to the sky?"
Thus the Principality of Wallachia was hemmed in by the...
...Ottoman Turks and Russia, and its territory was converted by both.
We protest with a leap
We are ready to fight to the death for the Latin Quarter!!
Onee-chan!
Sora?
What's going on?
I bought this for 30 yen.
30 yen just for that?
Isn't he cool?
I've got to have his autograph.
Come with me to his club house.
It would be really hard to go alone.
I've never been there either.
I'm not going in there.
Please!
No way.
Come on, Onee-chan, just this once.
Come on...
Save the Latin Quarter
Ready?
Yes.
Excuse me?
Today's spots are very distinct!
And they form a straight line.
A textbook magnetic field.
Excuse me.
What?
We're looking for the Latin Quarter Weekly office.
Third floor, same room as the Archaeology Club.
Thanks.
Don't they ever clean this place?
Hey.
Hi, we're looking for the Archaeology Club.
Upstairs.
Look for the Lit Club sign.
Thanks.
At last, inquiring minds!
The Philosophy Club wants you.
New members! How long has it been?
My struggle was not in vain.
We're just heading for the Archaeology Lit Club, actually.
Now don't be shy.
Shall we discuss existentialism?
Or perhaps you prefer Nietzsche?
Chem Club!
How dare you disturb our contemplation?
Better run, you guys.
You'll be there all day.
Show some respect, you second-rate alchemists.
At least we do experiments.
Your ideas can't even be proved.
"New poets! Draw energy from clouds, light, storms..."
"Show us the direction humanity should take..."
"A Copernicus for a new age, to set us free..."
Is anyone receiving?
This is a high school student from Japan.
Literature Club Latin Quarter Weekly
This is it.
Matsuzaki-san.
Yamazaki-kun...
Hey, pres!
Couple of guests are here to see you.
See ya.
Welcome to the Lit Club.
Or was it the Archaeology Club?
Don't tell me you're here about that rag we publish.
Knock it off, Mizunuma.
Come in and close the...
They'll shut us down!
We're down to two members.
The Archaeology Club is doomed.
U-Um...
Can you sign this?
Do it for her, hero.
Thank you!
Your hand...
Just a cat scratch.
This isn't from the jump.
A cat...?
Wait, could you cut some galley proofs for Shun?
What?
We're all pretty busy with the anti-demolition campaign.
You're the little sister?
Yes, I'm Matsuzaki Sora.
You help them, Onee-chan.
My handwriting is terrible.
You're joking.
Why should I...
Physics Midterm Forecast
Physics Midterm
You're a junior.
Do you take physics?
I have Suzuki-sensei.
Then you'll need this.
Our school's ace, Mizunuma's exam forecasts are usually spot on.
But not guaranteed.
Bring your own luck to the test.
See you at six.
Shall we go?
Oh, yes!
Matsuzaki-san, I'd better see you out.
Our resident philosopher might ambush you.
Oh, thank you!
From here to the end.
We've got to do something.
Yes, we can't face those who came before us if we let it end like this!
It's starting, Shun.
Care to join us, Matsuzaki-san?
It's the anti-demolition meeting.
Is it that late?
I finished.
Thanks, that really helps.
Meeting!
All hands on deck.
Time for today's meeting.
I'm home.
Hi, Umi.
I'm late.
Let's do curry. Can you cut the vegetables?
Sure.
Grandma, I'm back.
Welcome home.
You're pretty late today.
Riku, I need some pork.

This is nice.
Hiro-san, can I come in?
Do you feel ill?
Go on ahead, Sora.
I'm coming in, Hiro-san.
Wow...
I shouldn't paint at night.
The colours are all wrong.
It's beautiful.
What's this?
That tug goes by a lot.
I think it's answering your flags.
Guess you can't see the tug from there.
Answering my flags?
I need food.
Good morning.
All printed up.
Your handwriting's great.
Thanks.
Listen...
Can I help with anything else?
Of course.
But I can't stay late.
I'll give you some galleys, so you can transfer copy at home.
Got it.
There's a debate after school.
Why don't you come?
Sorry, I'm busy today.
Bye.
Umi, wait!
Let's get ice cream.
No club meeting?
It was cancelled for the debate.
Sorry, Tomoko-san's not here today.
I have to be back early.
Come on everybody, the debate's starting.
We resolve that the Latin Quarter Should Be Preserved!
Good, hold it right there.
This'll get rough.
Afternoon. Heading home?
Got some nice flounder fillets.
Okay, I'll take some.
Right away.
Your mum back yet?
Not yet.
I'll come back for them later!
What's going on?
It's been ten years since the end of the war, and this is what we face.
With the coming Tokyo Olympics our country is changing radically.
We must build a new society on the ruins of the old.
Tearing down the Latin Quarter...
...and building a new club house is a historical necessity.
And the majority of the students want it.
Umi-chan!
What's happening?
I don't know exactly.
The results of the survey are in.
711 are in favour.
Eighty percent of the student body want to rebuild.
I believe we must accept the board's plan!
You're like the old men who run this country...
...just blindly following the crowd.
Silence!
I have the floor.
Who cares about percentages when you're wrong? Blockheads!
Wait your turn!
Is this the tyranny of the majority?
You can't grasp the meaning of democracy.
Want to demolish something just because it's old?
Demolish your own heads.
I have the floor!
Destroy the old and you destroy our memory of the past.
Don't you care about the people who lived and died before us?
There's no future for people who worship the future and forget the past.
Democracy doesn't mean that you can ignore the minority.
Throw the anarchists out!
Scrum!
Eject them!
Stand fast, men!
Get off the stage.
You're history!
Way to go!
Moderator, do something!
Don't oppress the minority!
A white flower was blooming
That day long ago, In my homeland far away
When at last we parted
You looked away and didn't say a word
I remember your long braids
And the sadness in my heart
As that white flower bloomed
And the sadness in my heart
As that white flower bloomed
So what did you think?
It was amazing.
Everybody's so passionate.
Debates are always like that.
Eighty percent of the students support the rebuilding plan.
Yet Mizunuma won't stop fighting.
Really?
anata no kage o, funde aruita
あなたの影を 踏んで歩いた
I stepped into your shadow and walked behind you
yuuhi, sora ni nijin deta, oka no ue
夕陽 空ににじんでた 丘の上
The evening sun, dyed the sky orange. On top of the hill
Maybe you could clean the place up.
tsukazuhanarezu, narande aruku
つかずはなれず 並んで歩く
We walked side by side, not too far, but not too close
It's old, but it's such a nice building.
Make it like new again.
Invite the girls to come see it, and they'll understand.
sonna, futari ano goro
そんな 二人あの頃
That's what we were like back then
I was like that too.
Maybe you're right.
But the guys think all that dust is part of history.
aeba itsumo, terete bakari ite
会えばいつも 照れてばかりいて
Whenever we met, we would just blush at each other
The physics midterm forecast was a big hit.
Everybody's waiting for the math forecast.
taisetsu na koto wa, nanimo ienakute
大切なことは なにも言えなくて
We could never say the important things to each other
Me too.
warai nagara, uwasa banashi to ka
笑いながら うわさ話とか
While laughing, we'd gossip
Thanks. You've been a big help.
See you soon.
So long.
taai no nai koto, oshaberi shita
他愛のないこと おしゃべりした
And chat about silly things
Umi! Thanks.
Oh no... the fish!
...then everyone started singing.
The teachers were totally fooled.
It sounds like nothing's changed since I graduated.
Your president, Mizunuma, is my classmate's little brother.
Was his brother a genius too?
Sister. She's an astrophysicist.
Wow...
What's all the excitement in here?
Ah, whiskey!
This is the best.
Let's drink it.
I'll slice some cheese.
Can I have some too?
Thanks.
Sorry, too young.
Umi, why don't we invite some of those guys...
...to my farewell party?
Who?
You know... the guys.
Guys?
Hey.
H-O-K-U-T...
Hokuto.
You can read signal flags?
The gate's open.
A guest is here.
Coming.
Why not get married and start a practice right here?
We'd have to move out!
You'll be married by then.
I'd better start looking.
Bet you find a real nice guy.
You're the best.
The board is the problem.
The principal's a good guy, but...
No that guy's a sham.
The chairman's even more of an old fox.
Does that principal plan on continuing?
Or so I heard.
We shouldn't be afraid of being detached, but for a strategy we need more information.
Even with a strategy, what can we actually do?
We need more glasses.
I'll wash some.
Here, take this out.
Yes.
The sushi's here.
Yeah!
Finally!
This building was built during the Meiji era.
It used to be a hospital.
My great-grandfather loved cats.
You wouldn't think this was built at the same time as the Latin Quarter.
You really take good care of it.
Thanks.
Were your great-grandfather, grandfather, and father all doctors?
No, he was a ship captain.
From this valley they say you are going,
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile,
For they say you are taking the sunshine...
So your mother married a sailor.
Grandma and Grandpa were totally against it.
They tried to stop her.
So Mum ran away and they eloped.
I bet that took guts.
I heard your mother's a professor.
And the signal flags...
Your father taught you because he was a sailor?
Yes, when I was little.
He said they helped him find his way back to us.
So I raised them every day.
I'd raise them from the balcony until his ship docked again.
I never missed a day.
Then his ship sank in the Korean War.
And that was that.
But I never stopped raising those flags.
After I moved here, I wouldn't stop crying.
There was nowhere to raise Dad's flags.
So Grandpa built me that flagpole.
I'll open the curtains.
This used to be Grandpa's office.
Now it's my mum's study.
It looks like a library.
This is your family?
Yes.
Your father?
That's Grandpa.
My dad's right here.
Isn't he handsome?
That's when they got married.
This is the picture I really like.
Sawamura Yuichiro...?
That's my dad.
Matsuzaki is my mum's name.
Come on, it's speech time.
We better go down.
I'm back.
You're late.
You'll worry your mother.
Shun-chan, what about dinner?
I already ate.
He swings... Nagashima strikes out!
Onodera, Sawamura, Tachibana
Sawamura Yuichiro...
Thanks for coming.
What's going on?
Welcome, volunteers.
The Latin Quarter is all yours.
You have our deepest thanks for helping us to preserve this magnificent cultural landmark.
Remember, men.
The dangerous work is up to you.
Let's do it!
My shrine to Reason!
No exceptions, that's the rule.
Okay, ready.
Here we go.
And... up!
Be careful, will you?
Hey, watch it!
1st Year Math... 2nd Year Math... These are old exams.
We use those for forecasts.
Here's Hokuto-san's math final.
She got a perfect score.
Oh.
Take over for me.
We need everything moved.
Roger.
I'll give you a hand.
Heads up, Matsuzaki-san.
Y-Yes.
Mizunuma said to toss anything that we can't decide if we need or not.
It's so filthy.
When was the last time you cleaned this place?
Not since I've been here.
We better bring the badminton girls tomorrow.
Please do.
Sora, I'm going now.
Okay.
I'll be home by dinner.
Did something happen?
Not a thing.
See you tomorrow.
Dad, can I ask you something?
I'm working.
Make it short.
Um, Sawamura Yuichiro.
He's my real father, right?
We've been over that.
You're my son.
It was blowing hard the night Sawamura brought you.
He had his Family Register and the baby you with him.
We'd just lost a child of our own.
Next thing I knew, your mother was nursing you.
She wouldn't let you go.
Sawamura was a good sailor.
His supply ship sank during a battle in the Korean War.
Until the end, he helped us out.
You remind me of him more every day.
But you're still our son.
Thanks, Dad.
Is it out there?
Not yet.
Guess it's not coming by today.
THE LATIN QUARTER REBORN!
Hokuto-san...
Come in, Umi.
You're really leaving.
Thanks for all your help.
I wish I could see you off.
Go on, I'll be fine.
We'll miss you.
I'll drop by now and then.
You'd better get to school.
Good luck with Kazama-kun.
Take care.
Extra, extra!
Extra edition of The Latin Quarter Weekly.
We'll need your help today.
Sure.
Latin Quarter gets a facelift!
Extra, extra!
Please.
I'll be there again today.
Thank you.
Hi. You're working hard.
Hey!
Hey, see you there, okay?
Here, Matsuzaki-san.
Here you go.
Extra, extra! Get your Latin Quarter.
Extra!
Next label, please.
Okay.
He's so brave.
This is great.
Let's go look.
If you don't like me, just say so.
Sawamura Yuichiro.
He's my real father.
Huh?
It's like some cheap melodrama.
I don't understand.
Dad told me years ago.
I even checked at City Hall.
But then...
We're brother and sister.
What should we do?
We forget whatever it was we felt about each other.
We'll just be friends, like before.
Sora-chan, did something happen to Umi at school?
No, at least I don't think so.
Are you sure?
That dinner tonight was pretty strange.
And she was soaked.
Something must've happened.
She's never come home that late.
Onee-chan, the bath's ready.
Not tonight.
Don't you feel well?
Umi...
Good morning, Umi.
Did you sleep well?
Mum?
When did you come back?
Don't be silly.
I've been here all along.
Umi, I'm hoisting the flags.
Come give me a hand.
Dad...?
I'll be home for a long time.
You're such a big girl now.
Need more supplies? Just ask this guy.
He's in construction.
Come on, no more freebies.
Why not?
Business is good.
Hope you guys win.
It's things like this that make my father angry at me all the time.
Thank you.
Unbelievable.
We owe this to Hokuto-san.
No, even more to Umi.
She's our goddess of good luck.
Hi guys.
This is practically a construction site.
What are you doing?
No, I'm...
Give me that for a sec.
Let me show you how the pros do it.
Incredible!
My dad's a plasterer.
Beautiful...
What's that?
The wall, I mean.
What?!
Hey.
That's it for today.
Thanks for staying late.
You don't have to go back?
Sora's covering for me.
Can I help out with anything?
Could you do this?
Yeah.
Can I have two days?
That'll really help, thanks.
See you.
Bye.
VISIT THE NEW LATIN QUARTER!
MAJORITY OF GIRLS OPPOSE DEMOLITION!
MIDTERM RESULTS ANNOUNCED, TEST FORECAST VINDICATED!
MAJORITY OF ALL STUDENTS OPPOSE DEMOLITION!
Ready, everybody?
Umi, don't go.
Shun, it's bad news.
The board just decided to tear down our building during the summer vacation.
What the hell?
What do we do now?
The principal won't listen to reason.
All our hard work!
They won't even come?
Then they'd have to back down.
Right!
Mob the principal's office!
Right! Right!
Let's go straight to the chairman.
Of the Tokumaru Foundation?
He's pretty hard to see.
You guys go see him.
Tell him how it is.
Yes, please go.
Mizunuma, we've got to go to Tokyo.
Please, Mizunuma!
Please!
Mizunuma-san!
It's worth a shot.
Umi, we need you too.
Tell him, Umi!
Onee-chan, good luck tomorrow.
Good morning.
Did you skip class?
No, I told them yesterday I'd be absent.
Then we'd better get going.
Let's help the Olympics succeed with a beautiful capital!
Let's give it our best shot.
Yes, that's what they say.
No appointment?
We're appealing directly to him.
Something about a direct appeal.
Yes, students from Konan Academy.
Three of them.
All right.
Take the elevator to the fourth floor and wait there.
Fourth floor.
Don't forget to sign in.
One name is fine.
Are you the Konan students?
Yes.
The president's very busy.
I can't guarantee he'll have time for you without an appointment.
We're sorry to disturb him.
We didn't think he'd agree to an appointment.
You may just be wasting your time but please wait here if you like.
We'll wait!
Oh come on, Kimura has the best pastries.
Nakamura's hard to beat.
I can't believe you'd say that.
You don't know your pastries.
Thank you.
It's as plain as the nose on your face.
Come on in, kids.
Yes, sir.
Yeah yeah yeah...
Excuse us.
Have a seat.
Be with you in a minute.
So you see how it is.
Yes, give him my regards.
Okay.
Sit.
Now, why aren't you kids in school?
We escaped.
Escaped?
I did that a lot myself.
You're here about your club house, I suppose.
Yes, we've come to ask you to inspect the Latin Quarter for yourself.
You're welcome any time.
What year are you?
I'm a junior.
Matsuzaki Umi.
I help out with the Latin Quarter Weekly.
And why do you want to keep that club house?
We all love it.
We spent hours making it look new.
Please see for yourself.
You cleaned it up?
What does your father do?
He was a ship captain.
He died during the Korean War.
An LST?
Yes.
I see.
It must've been hard for your mother, raising you alone.
She did a fine job.
Thank you.
All right, I'll go.
Thank you!
It's me.
What's on tomorrow?
Let's see, that's in the evening.
Move that to Friday.
It's settled.
Tomorrow afternoon.
I'll contact your principal and do an official inspection tour.
Some grown-ups are pretty cool.
We don't know for sure yet.
I'm glad we came.
I have to swing by my uncle's place.
See you tomorrow.
What are you doing after graduation?
I can't afford much tuition.
I'll apply to a national university.
What about the Weekly?
I'll find somebody to take over after things are settled.
What about you?
I haven't decided.
I'd like to be a doctor, though.
Are you the one who wrote that poem?
I saw you raising your flags every morning from my dad's tug.
I can't see the tug passing by from the garden.
That's why I never noticed you were answering me.
Kazama-san?
Yes?
Listen, I...
Those flags were a message to my father.
I think he sent you to me.
That's what I want to believe.
I'm in love with you, Kazama-san.
Umi...
Even if we're related, even if you're my brother...
...my feelings will never change.
I feel the same about you.
I'm back.
Let's try it.
Mum!
Umi, I'm home.
Welcome back!
How was America?
I was busy learning every day.
Any boyfriends yet, Sora?
Not yet.
This is great stuff, Mum.
It's called beef jerky.
Is it pig?
Hiro-chan, beef means cow!
Mum?
You're up pretty late.
Mum, I wanted to ask you something.
Ask away, then.
I'm wide awake because of the time difference.
Sorting through these books woke me up even more.
There's this boy at school.
His name is Kazama Shun.
He came for the farewell party.
I showed him Dad's picture.
He had the same photo.
He says his real father is Sawamura Yuichiro.
This one?
I'm afraid this is all a little bit complicated.
I told you about how your father and I eloped.
You remember, don't you?
Our first place was that second-floor apartment.
Yuichiro was away a lot.
I was pregnant with you and working on my degree.
I loved school so much.
I was determined to do well.
Welcome back-
Yu-chan, whose baby is that?
It's Tachibana's boy.
He's ours now.
Tachibana was killed in an accident on a repatriation ship.
His wife died giving birth.
The Bomb killed their relatives.
If we don't register him as ours, he'll end up in an orphanage.
Yuichiro registered the baby as his son and brought him home.
The war had just ended.
It was happening everywhere.
But I was already pregnant, there was no way I could raise him.
Yuichiro's friend lost a child, so we gave the baby up.
Is he doing well?
I'm so glad.
Your father was so good-hearted.
Maybe just a little impulsive.
Without his help, I couldn't have finished school.
But what if Kazama-san was really Dad's son?
If he was really Yuichiro's son?
I'd like to meet him.
Does he look like this picture?
Umi...
I'm off.
Have a nice day.
Welcome to the Latin Quarter.
Latin Quarter Welcomes Chairman Tokumaru
I never realised this building was so impressive.
Thank you, sir.
What are you studying?
Sir! The Astronomy Club has studied sunspots for ten years.
Ten years?
And what did you discover?
The sun is very old, and our lifespan is short.
No discoveries so far!
Excellent answer.
The Philosophy Club?
Wouldn't you like a brand new clubhouse?
What about your junior members?
Sir, we philosophers can be content with just a barrel.
Diogenes! Very good.
Principal, your students are really quite impressive.
Having said that, you sure have a cute room.
Kazama Shun?
Yes, I am.
Hello, Dad?
The third man in the photo is here.
He can tell you about your father.
His ship leaves at four o'clock.
He won't be back for months.
Get down here!
Should the world sink
Beneath the indigo waves
Stand fast, sink not
Beneath that horizon
Stand fast against the flood
Like a great range of mountains
With pinnacles thrust high
Into the winds of the future
Should the world sink
Beneath the indigo waves
Stand fast, sink not
Beneath that horizon
My friends, you have shown me the Latin Quarter's true value.
As educators, how can we teach without protecting our culture?
I'll just find a different site for the new building.
All right!
Umi, you did it.
We all did it.
Awesome! Magnificent!
All right! Yeah!
On to the next experiment.
Umi, we owe this to you.
But I didn't do anything special.
Fixing things up was your idea.
She's right.
Thank you, Umi-san.
Thank you!
Good for you. Umi.
Umi!
The perfect couple.
Please excuse them, sir.
Something very important is happening to both of them.
They have to hurry.
Escape... It's great to be young.
Kazama-san!
Gen-san!
Umi-chan?
Don't worry Umi-chan, I'll get you there in time.
We'd better run.
Thanks!
Good luck, Umi-chan.
Come on, Shun-san. Hurry!
Thanks.
That's my dad's tug.
Here they are, captain.
Push our departure back 15 minutes.
Aye aye, sir.
So you're Tachibana's boy.
And you must be Sawamura's daughter.
Both fine-looking youngsters.
It's Shun-kun, right?
That's right.
Your father was Tachibana Hiroshi.
Front row, fourth from the right.
You can see Sawamura next to him.
We three were close friends.
Take the seat of honour, Tachibana.
Why me?
You're our leader.
You belong there.
All right, let's do it.
Just don't die before me, okay?
Same goes for you.
Here we go.
I was away at sea when your parents passed away.
Otherwise I'd have done exactly what Sawamura did.
Meeting you two is like seeing my old friends again.
Thank you both.
I've never been so happy.
