My Little Sweet Pea

1

We've really never met?

I swear I've seen you before

Oh, you're a celebrity?

No, I'm not

Really?

I feel there must be something

Okay, your change is 80 yen

Are you available?

Yeah, go ahead

Door's closing

Okay

Where to?

Um.. Hachi..man..hama Inn

Oh, Yahatahama Inn. Got it

[another way to read the same kanji]

What?!

What? Eh? Huh? Fr-

In front! Front front front front front!

Owowowowow

Kacchan?

Are you alright?

Owowowow

Imo-san?

Give me a break

Sorry, it's all a joke!

This isn't a joke at all

Hey, are you alright?

Ahh..

My nose is..

It's just running

I think I'm fine

I'm really sorry

You look just like someone I knew a long time ago

Hey, Kacchan

Do you remember Saiko-chan?

Eh? Who's that?

Oh, right, you were still pretty little back then

Your nose is bleeding

Ah

Imo-san.. you made my nose bleed

Well.. I'm going to go

Imo-san

I think it was about 30 years ago

What I was saying before

She looked just like you

This girl named Akaike Saiko-chan

Hey, Saiko-chan

Hello

She was cute just like you

She put everyone in a daze

So, what if that Saiko was.. this person

What?

FRONT!

Sorry

Use your brain, dammit

Sorry, sorry

Sorry sorry

What did you mean?

Saiko.. she might be my mother

What?

Again, FRONT!

Sorry

I see

Saiko-chan's dead..

Wait, so you're her daughter?

Really?

No wonder you look like her

What was your name?

Mugiko

What did you say?

Mugiko.

Mu - gi - ko

My Little Sweet Pea Mugiko-san to

I'm telling you to go home

You don't have to tell me like that

Mugi-chan?

Yeah

Mugi, go in

Please don't come again

Goodbye

Who was that?

The old lady

The old lady?

Our mother, of course

Eh? What?

You don't remember?

You were little, so it makes sense

But she's our old lady

Eh? EH?

What? Is it bothering you?

Not really

What's up with her..

She hasn't contacted us for years

Now she wants to live with us

She's ignored us too much

She's not someone to be concerned about

I'm not

Is that so

Well, it's been 3 years since dad died

I've been trying to get us by in this place

I'm thankful

Well

See

I'm basically your dad at the moment

That's like a mother

So, it's fine, isn't it? We don't need her

Yeah

You're doing fine

I'm really thankful

Right?

Really, though

It's pretty difficult

Out of my small salary..

Our rent is 90,000 yen

Then there's heating and electricity

And I'm paying for the food

I get it

I'm truly thankful

Truth is, I want to drink at nicer places

But since you're here

I'm going to pretty cheap places

I already said I'm thankful

Ohhh, I got it Megu-chan

You like Shun-kun, right?

What? Why would I?

There's no way I'd fall for a guy like him

Plus we're siblings

There's no room for love

S-siblings?

N-nothing

Forget it!

Delete it from your memory!

Got it!

Put it in the recycle bin

Aaand click!

Deleted!

Close, real close

"Ohhh, I got it Megu-chan"

"You like Shun-kun, right?"

"What? Why would I?"

"There's no way I'd fall for a guy like him"

"Plus we're siblings"

"S-siblings?"

"N-nothing"

"Forget it!"

"Delete it from your memory!"

"Got it!"

"Put it in the recycle bin"

"Aaand click!"

"Deleted!"

"That was close"

Welcome!

Welcome~~

Welcome!

Welcome~~~

You've gotten big, Mugi-chan

You really look like the old-

What was this 'business'?

I think you've heard from your brother

Yeah

I also don't want to live with you

Really?

But your dad isn't around

Isn't life hard for you?

We can get by without your aid

I see..

The truth is..

I've lost work, and can't live the life I'd been leading anymore

I think it'd be better for us all if we lived together

What are you talking about?

Why do we have to care for your lifestyle?

I don't get it

Yeah, I guess

How about you do something about it yourself?

My brother is working his hardest

We're doing fine with what we have

I'm sorry

But

But what?

If you want to save money by living with us

Give it up

No, not that

It'll be hard for me to make payments if this goes on

Payments?

Your brother hasn't told you?

What?

I've been paying 150,000 yen every month

Ever since your dad died

To help with your expenses

Why didn't you tell me about the money?

What?

Always acting like I'm this huge bother

We've basically been living thanks to her!

Well

I thought it was a bit strange

With your small pay

Still playing Pachinko

and buying expensive leather coats

But

I've been paying my own way, too

Huh? 150,000 yen every month, right?

We're not living like we have that much at all

Paying your own way?

You've just been playing

Okay, lets talk about this later

We have to do something about her for now

I've been been enduring it for a long time

Your dad never got over his drinking habits or his constant cheating

A couple is normally just a man and a woman, right?

That has nothing to do with us

It doesn't change that you tossed us aside

How long are you going to be like that?

Start being honest with yourself!

I didn't intend to toss you aside

You didn't want to see us fighting all the time, did you?

You could have come to see us after breaking up, then

I'm sorry

I did want to see you

I didn't really want to see you

Onii-chan

Stop it

Open your heart to me!

I'm going to be honest

I haven't thought about you even once since you left

Onii-chan, you're an idiot! Idiot idiot idiot!

Just die!

Mugi, that's too loud

Mugi-chan..

You're not talking about Mugi

You're talking about yourself

You really don't need to talk like that

Just go home

There's no reason to be here

But

Hey

What?

We're going to be living together

Well

Without her payments, it'll be pretty rough

But

Mugi-chan

Please take care of me

Sorry, there's nowhere to put this

So I'll put it in here

Sorry, excuse me

Sorry, excuse me

Didn't you say you didn't have much?

Even I was surprised

When you move, you have more than you expect

Whoa

What is all this?

Really, you don't need that exercise equipment

Throw it away

It's good for my diet, I can't throw it away

You're not even on a diet

Then, you don't need that do you?

Are you an idiot?

Who would throw these away?

Just how many dreams do you think it's granted?

Hey, Mugi

Throw this away

What are you talking about?

Do you know how much it's worth?

Don't compare it to that garbage

It's not garbage

Mine's not, either!

That's 23,456 yen

How long are you going to be reading?

We're going

Ah, the new BetsuMaga

[short name for Bessatsu Shounen Magazine]

Seriously?

Oh, hey

I was thinking about leaving home soon

What are you talking about?

She's annoying

And my girlfriend is saying she wants to live with me

What about me?

You can just live with the old lady

What is that? No way

It can't be helped, can it?

What was that?

Barely felt it

I'm joking, it hurt

Stop

Stop

Contact me if something happens

"Something"

Please take care of Norio

Yes

We're going to go

Mugi-chan, you like anime?

Yeah

Do you watch this every day?
