Exams suck!

I'm so sick of this.

Picked your first-choice school yet?

Not yet.

Have you, Daichi?

More or less, I guess.

I'll take what I can, with my grades.

I already know what I'm gonna do.

Really? What?

Amateur model.

That's not a high school.

What's wrong with that?

Post-Middle School Plans Questionnaire

Dude, stop it.

What the heck?!

Ah! S-Sorry!

Ow, ow! Sorry! Mercy! Mercy!

High school, huh?

Are your parents coming to the fall meet?

I think so.

Your parents always come, Akanecchi.

Mine are too, since it's my last one.

Isn't it embarrassing?

Totally.

Right? I'd hate that.

Maybe I should buy new shoes.

Sounds good.

I should, right?

Yeah.

Wait, wait, you're still going to do track in high school, right?

I don't know.

I think I will.

Yeah?

Oh, but I guess we still have exams first.

Sorry I'm late.

It's fine.

Have you chosen a high school?

No.

Me, neither.

Private? Public?

Probably public.

Yeah?

My sister's in a private school.

Girls' school?

Yeah.

You, too?

I don't know yet.

The same school, maybe...

If we can.

Yeah.

I don't know if I can, though.

Why not?

You have really good grades.

Not at all.

We live close, though, even if we're at different high schools.

Yeah.

Hey, Akane-chan.

Welcome.

Thanks for having me.

Thanks for watching the shop, Kotarou-kun.

Here, a gift.

Thanks.

Did you find the record you wanted?

Yup, found it.

Honestly, thanks for watching the shop.

When do you want to do the parent-teacher meeting?

Whenever you want.

Where should I go for high school?

Have you decided?

I'm still thinking.

Can you clear off the table for me?

Sure.

Okay, your attention, please.

Dad has an announcement to make.

What?

I—

I'm home.

Welcome home.

Welcome home.

I'm so hungry.

Welcome home.

I'm probably going to be transferred in the next reshuffle.

I'll be at the head office.

Huh? We're moving?

Again?

I won't know until they tell me.

Is it already that time again?

The head office in Chiba?

Yeah.

This is too sudden.

Hey, let's move to Tokyo, then.

Maybe.

It's dinner time. Put your stuff away and get changed.

Okay.

Where are we going, if we go to Chiba?

Around Ichikawa, maybe.

Nice! That's closer to my school.

It's been so far for you, huh?

I'm sorry.

What should I do?

You don't know any schools in Chiba, do you?

Come to think of it, I hear Koumei High School is a good one in that area.

Koumei?

I heard about it in yoga class.

The instructor's second daughter goes there.

They love it.

It's big on clubs, too.

Koumei High School, right?

Koumei Private High School

This one, I think.

Literature

Miss Kobayashi's Kitchen Nightmares

You don't have talent.

Well, to be honest, I don't think you're cut out for serious literature.

Why don't you try light novel-type stuff instead?

Dinner's ready, Kotarou.

Did you have practice again today?

Yeah.

Kotarou, have you chosen a school yet?

I hate to say this, but are you really thinking about your future?

You hardly studied outside of cram school during the summer, either.

Are you listening?

Yeah.

Honestly...

Say something to him, dear.

Not right now. We're eating.

He has to start taking his exam studies more seriously.

He hasn't even chosen his high school yet.

It's getting way too late.

I'm sure he's thinking about it, too.

He's just putting his problems off.

This is an important time. He has to choose his future.

What's up?

You seem out of it.

No, nothing.

Hey...

Yeah?

Have you heard of light novels?

I run a bookstore.

Have you read any?

Sure.

Were they any good?

Some of them.

They're the same as regular novels.

Some of them are good, and some of them suck.

It depends on your taste, too.

Huh...

Why?

Someone recommended them to me.

Why don't you read one, if you're curious?

I have plenty, too.

Yeah...

Daisuke!

Coming.

Chiba

Chiba high schools

Are you up?

Yeah, I'm still awake

What's up?

Studying

I lied... I was going to study, but I ended up reading... ^^;

About tomorrow...

Yeah?

I think my club will run late, so go home without me >_<

Okay

I'm gonna practice hard

Me too

Kawagoe Festival's coming up, so I'm practicing hard!

Is it your last track meet?

Yup

I think I'm going to be super nervous

Can I

Eeeeek!

Just Say No

Sorry

Aww lol

Well... I'd be embarrassed...

All right ^_^

I'll be cheering for you from afar

Thanks

Push with a mother's touch

All right.

Take care.

I'll come to cheer for you later.

Okay.
