It's cold

I'm freezing!

It's empty

Of course, at this hour

It's even weird we're here

Stay awake!

I'm sleepy!

Where are we going?

School

Where are we going?

School

Hey!

Are we getting on?

No

That was closing!

I almost got squashed!

Why are we here?

Isn't that guy cool?

Which one?

Left

Behind?

Well?

I'll bet they're brothers

They don't look alike

Sure they do

They don't even know each other

See? Brothers

Just friends

They get on at Fujiko

You can have the younger one

No, thanks

Is he a foreigner?

Half-Japanese

He'd be scary if he wasn't

He's cool!

He's wearing a pink shirt!

Cool!

You have the kid brother

I don't want him!

It's freezing out there

I don't want to go out

Maybe it's hay-fever season...

It's about that time

Oh, I saw 'Hannibal'

on satellite last night

So did I

I was scared

Isn't he creepy?

Yeah

Don't you think real people are scarier...

than zombies and ghosts?

Yeah

Stalkers and so on...

He looks like someone

Who?

I don't know...

Tom Cruise?

What?

DiCaprio?

You mean him?

Hannibal?

Are you sick?

No, but...

I started thinking about

that movie yesterday

'Hannibal'...

You OK?

Heart-broken, maybe

Huh?

You said he looked like Hannibal

You said he looked like someone

I'm getting all split ends

I should cut it all off

I wouldn't

You like it long?

I like it short

You're not making sense

And what's this guy

talking about, anyway?

'... Princesses-Ponpokopi-And-

Ponpokona-Live-Forever-Jack'

No, don't...

Hana!

What's wrong? Heart-broken?

Soutenu, forward, side...

Hana, get your leg up!

I told you!

Come on! You're still young!

OK, that's it

That's all for the barre

Stretching, five minutes

Five minutes?!

Let's take a break

How were your high-school

entrance exams?

Did you get into a high school?

Yes!

Yeah? Which one?

Fujiko. With Yayoi

Me, too

Akatsuka

Tezuka

Tezuka?

Congratulations!

Come on, start stretching!

So what about ballet?

That is a problem...

I want a life!

Yeah!

It's just about time

All of you!

Alice!

Nagayo!

Hana!

From me to you!

I guess I can't quit now

'Live-Forever-Through-Countless-Ages'

'Like-Fish-In-Water-While-Sea... '

'... And-Cloud-And-Wind-Remain... '

'... Never-Lacking-Food-Or-Shelter... '

'... Like-The-Children-Of-Shuringan-

And-Gurindai-Of-Paipo... '

'... Princesses-Ponpokopi-And-

Ponpokona-Live-Forever-Jack'

The uniform sucks!

Yeah

Your collar's crooked

So's your tie

Get it right!

Perfect!

It sucks

Why are you running?

Wait!

We'll be late!

Oops!

The storytelling club? That way

Back there

Next, please

Wow!

A girl wants to join our club, eh?

A sign of the apocalypse!

I'm 'Ataro The Crazed'

My real name means 'Leaky Swamp'

so I changed it to 'Crazed', eh?

And him...

he's 'Goro The Bang'

His real name is, uh...

'Goro Explosion'?

'Miyamoto'. Masashi Miyamoto

Is that your name, Bang?

What a laugh, eh?

What's your name?

Hana

'Hana'? As in 'flower'?

OK, then...

'Hana The Sweetie'

No, 'Hana The Funky'!

Which one?

'Sweetie'?

You're kinda funky, eh

Let's call you that

Right, everyone?

'We just had a boy' 'Congratulations'

'I'd like Your Holiness

to give him a lucky name'

'lf he's my son, he won't be too bright'

'How about 'Live-Forever'? '

'Why 'Live-Forever'? '

'He may not be too bright... '

'but at least he'll have a long life'

'Would it help if he had

a long name, too? '

There's no balls in it, Bang!

The audience'll fall asleep!

Aw, man!

I tell him and tell him and

he never gets better!

Mr. Miyamoto?

Mr. Miyamoto! Are you OK?!

You smashed your head

on that garage door!

Who are you?

Oh, no!

Amnesia!

Amnesia?

Do you remember your name?

My name?

'Live-Forever-Through-Countless-Ages'

'Like-Fish-In-Water...'

'... Never-Lacking-Food-Or-Shelter... '

'... Like-The-Children-Of-Shuringan-

And-Gurindai-Of-Paipo... '

'... Princesses-Ponpokopi-And-

Ponpokona-Live-Forever-Jack'

I remember

You are hurt!

I'm fine. I was just checking my memory

My name's Masashi Miyamoto

I'm fine

What about me?

Remember me?

No

Oh, no!

You sure?

Oh, you're the new Grade-10 girl

What's my name?

Uh, sorry...

You said you loved me

No, I didn't

Yes, you did! You did!

I did?

Oh, no!

You really do have amnesia!

What are we gonna do?!

I really can't remember

Could you describe the

circumstances for me?

About when I said I loved you...

if I really did

You did

Could you tell me more about it?

Well, I'm not the one who said it

I don't mind waiting till you remember

Mr. Miyamoto...

Anyway, how's your brother?

My brother? I don't have a brother

Didn't you tell me you did?

No, I didn't

He looks foreign

Foreign?

Last year you both took the train

Oh, you mean Dave...

Dave?

A foreign student who

stayed at our house

Where's he from?

America. He went home

I wonder how he's doing...

You remember him, but not me...

Sorry

Toilet

Who's that?!

What?

Please! You didn't see anything!

Why? What's there to hide?

Who is he? Where'd you meet him?

You didn't see him?

I saw him. Who is he?

You don't remember?

No

Do I know him?

He's in my club

Then how should I know him?

Yeah

Yeah... I guess not

I've got to get back

Hana!

There's something lacking

Are we really 'going out' or what?

What's wrong?

You're the one who said you liked me.

Yeah...

You realize that?

Yes

No, you don't

Yes, I do

You don't

Not in your heart

That's what's lacking

I don't know whether I love you or not

And you don't remember saying

that you loved me

What does that make us, I want to know

Lovers?

I don't know...

See what I mean?

But lately I get the feeling that I like you

...I think

Really?

Yeah. I dream about you all the time

What dreams?

I can't say

Tell me!

Maybe they'll come true

I dream that the police take you away

I hope that doesn't come true

It's after me!

Another one!

When I activate the virus scan

it goes all weird

How?

I can't access the internet

Let me check it

Really?!

All these flowers...

It's like a florist

Can I talk to you for a minute?

You like shopping, or are you

running away from home?

I'm sorry, just kidding

I work for a talent agency

Here's my card

'Paper Company'

We get people work in films, TV, stage

Excuse me...

Hello?

Hana?

I can't hear you...

Guess what!

I've just been scouted!

'Scouted'? What do you mean?

They want me to come to their office!

Oh yeah?

Come with me

What?

When?

Now

I can't

It's in Harajuku

I can't, I said

Sure you can!

Look, we're grown up now

We're not glued to each other

I mean, we're still friends, but...

OK. I won't call again

Hello? Alice?

Hello?

Come on, Alice! That's not fair!

What happened?

Something's wrong...

Have you had that dream again?

About the police?

No

Lately I dream about slugs

What kinda dream is that?

There's a huge slug chasing me

I run like hell...

and I finally get to where I think I'm safe

When I turn around...

A slug?

No, you

But for some reason I don't know
