Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day Page #5

You wouldn't understand, Tsuruko.

Never having the person

you love look your way...

Of course I do.

Because I loved Yukiatsu.

Who knows about forever?

Once Menma passes on, Jintan might...

Why would you say that?

But...

Yukiatsu will never, ever pick me.

You're the one who'd

replace Menma.

No, I'm not! Replace?

Yukiatsu doesn't think that, either.

And no matter how much pain I'm going

through, I'd never go out with Yukiatsu.

No one could replace Jintan.

You're right.

There's no replacing any of us.

That's why

we have to properly

send Menma off.

Goodbye Menma

I wonder what Menma's answer was...

Though I guess I really don't have to ask.

Hey, is what you said true?

It's true.

That was seven years worth of truth.

And I don't mean that I just

love you like a friend...

I know.

You want me to take me

as your bride, don't you?

Menma, seriously...

I'm going to pass on.

Um, I'm going to be reborn.

If I don't pass on, I can't do that.

I won't be able to talk to everyone.

With everyone...

Yup. Your mom told me about that.

What? My mo

Oh! But what if I come back as a caterpillar?

You'd totally step on me, Jintan.

I wonder if you'd pick me if I was a flower.

Rocket fireworks?

Please!

We would love for you to come.

Don't you dare do anything like that.

No one asked you to see off Meiko!

Youko, calm down.

These kids are just messing around!

They don't care about Meiko at all!

Hey, Mom.

Huh?

Do you know how tall I am?

I grew so much in the last year.

You didn't care enough

to notice, did you?

Hey, someone come here for a sec.

Got it!

Wow!

What a beautiful day!

Perfect weather for rockets, Jinta!

Hey, Jinta.

Stop looking so depressed.

Yeah! Yeah!

You need to keep your head

up and look at the sun,

or Menma-chan won't be able to pass on.

Just like the boss says!

Thank you, Sa-kun, Daddy...

Mommy...

Thank you.

Let's get started.

Yes.

Yes.

So this is truly the end...

But is this really okay?

I still have a chance to stop this.

Once they shoot the rocket,

and her wish comes true,

Menma will...

...disappear.

Right now, I can still stop this.

I can stop this!

Wai

Wow! It's so pretty, Jintan!

Oh... Huh?

She's there?

Hey, she's still here?

Menma, I'm sorry.

At that moment, I thought...

"Thank goodness you're still here."

I'm home.

Jintan asked me to come

home first. I feel so left out.

Touko-san, Jinta set off a

firework for Menma-chan today.

Lately, Jinta's a lot

happier than he used to be.

That's what you wanted,

too, right, Touko-san?

Huh?

What she

wanted...

Jinta doesn't cry.

Well, that's because Jintan's strong.

No...

I think he's trying to act tough

because I'm in this condition.

He feels like he shouldn't cry.

Everyone says they want to

eat your steamed cakes, Mom.

When can you leave the hospital?

It doesn't look like I'll be

able to leave for a while.

I hope you get better soon, Mom!

Well, I'll be going, then.

Jinta.

Be careful.

I'll bring you more clothes next time!

He always cheers me up,

but I think he's hurting so much,

he wants to cry.

He doesn't cry in front of

all of you either, does he?

Honestly,

I would like for him to smile, get mad,

and cry more.

That... might be my wish.

Okay! Leave it to me.

I'll make Jintan cry, no matter what!

I promise!

It's a promise!

It's a promise.

The wish was...

I Want Everyone To See Her Again...

Menma's Final Message

Somewhere deep inside,

it made me really happy

that only I could see Menma.

But it's not the same for her.

Are you ready?

Not yet!

Menma doesn't want to just talk to me.

She wants to talk to all of us.

That's why she wants to pass on,

and be reborn.

She...

...wants you all to find her!

Let's all grant

Menma's wish properly.

We'll bring Menma here and do it together.

Yeah. There's no point in having

this conversation without Menma.

Yes.

We're...

When the six of us are together,

that's when we're the Super Peace Busters.

Right?

Right, Jintan?

I'll bring her right now.

Let's all meet up at our secret base!

Hey, Menma.

I feel like we were finally

able to take a step forward.

Menma?

Menma?

What's wrong? Menma?!

Hey!

Hey, Jintan...

I remember

what I promised your mom now.

What?

I think it was to make you cry.

The one wish that kept

me here...

...had already come true.

Menma...

Wait. I said wait.

You can't.

I can't do this alone.

Menma, come on!

Let's go! Let's go, Menma!

I'll take you to everyone right now!

Jintan...

Everyone's waiting for you!

I won't leave you alone anymore!

Everyone!

Jintan. Where's Menma?

She's right here.

Menma's wish had already come true.

What?

Menma?

Jintan.

Hey, where'd you go?

You're kidding, right?

Hey!

Did she disappear, Jintan?!

Menma!

Jintan.

Huh? Where are you?

Stop messing around, and

come out here! Menma!

Calm down, Jintan.

Let's look for Menma, too!

Jintan...

You can't see me anymore, either, Jintan?

Super Peace Busters'

Friendship Diary

This is hide-and-seek.

Menma!

Menma!

Menma!

Menma!

Menma!

Menma!

Menma!

Menma!

Menma!

Menma!

Menma... Menma!

Menma!

Menma!

Menma! Where are you?!

Menma!

Menma!

Menma, where are you?!

Menma!

Where are you, Menma?

Jintan. Hey, Jintan.

Huh?

Aren't those pages from the friendship diary?

Isn't that Menma's handwriting?

To Jintan.

To Yukiatsu.

To Anaru.

To Tsuruko.

To Poppo.

To Tsuruko.

"To Tsuruko."

"I love that you were always

looking out for all of us."

"Menma."

Menma...

To Yukiatsu.

"To Yukiatsu."

"I love that you actually do

really care about your friends."

"Menma."

Menma...

To Anaru.

"To Anaru."

"I love that you really love Jintan."

"Menma."

Menma...

To Poppo.

"To Poppo."

"I love that you're always

so happy and energetic."

Menma...

To Jintan.

"To Jintan."

"I love you a lot, too, Jintan!"

"And my love is the kind where

I'd like to be your bride."

"It's that kind of love."

"When I see your mom, I'll tell her

that you were able to cry properly."

"The thing that made me the happiest..."

"...was that everyone was able to

become friends again for me."

"Menma."

Menma...

Thank goodness.

I made it in time.

Yukiatsu...

Tsuruko...

Anaru...

Poppo...

Jintan...

Thank you.

This time, I got to say goodbye.

Are you ready?

Are you ready?

Are you ready?!

Hey. You're playing hide-and-seek, right?

Then it can't end until we find you!

Jintan...

Are you ready?!

Are you ready?!

Are you ready?!

Are you ready?!

I'm ready...

Menma.

Eh?

We finally get to see each other again.

It's Menma...

It's really Menma.

I wanted to see you so bad...

Everyone...

Menma.

When you find someone in hide-and-seek,

you don't say their name.

Huh?

I'm terrible at hide-and-seek.

Right, Jintan?

Please say it.

Then we'll...

...be able to end this.

Menma!

I read your letter!

I love you, too, Menma!

Me, too!

I love you!

Menma, I love you!

Of course, I love you, too!

Thank you for granting

my mom's wish.
