"To:
Shoko Yosano From: Yonosuke Yokomichi"

"For Shoko Yosano's eyes only"

"Tomoyo"

- Thank You.

- Take care.

It's off

It feels rather cold

Shoko-chan

Yes?

Let's stay together tonight

Sure, would you like to come to my home?

No, I mean... just the two of us

Like maybe at a hotel or something

Hote...

Yeah

Oh, but, wait, no... what?

I really want to be with you

Does that, um... mean...

what I think it means?

Probably... yeah

But...

But my cast was only

just removed today, and, and...

And?

It's just too sudden

Right, I'm sorry

But I just really want to

spend tonight alone with you

Do you get to stay a while this time?

Yeah... Well, until next weekend

Where're you going next?

Tanzania

Tanzania? Where's that?

Africa

Ai-chan, I'm impressed!

All these exotic places...

Don't you get tired?

Well, we did fight over

mosquito nets last time

Mosquito nets?

What are mosquito nets?

Look what you've done

Got her all interested in your lifestyle

Wanna ditch those silly exams

and come to Africa with me?

What're you calling silly?

You know...

It's Daddy. Excuse me for a sec

Say, Shoko-san, do you

still remember your first love?

Why, all of a sudden?

I do remember

What was he like?

How to put it... it's a bit hard to explain

He was an ordinary guy

Yeah... ordinary

Ordinary?

He was so ordinary, it was funny

Ooh, is there someone you like?

Like I explained, it's not that

we shouldn't love each other

Right

All I ask is that we clearly define...

when it's appropriate and when it's not

Right

In other words, meal time...

is not kissing time

Precisely!

Yes, I understand

Oh, by the way...

It's not a present

What is it?

Chocolates, I think

Someone gave it to you?

No! You think any other

girl would give me gifts?

I suppose not

Anyway, I just noticed it

in my mailbox this morning,

and opened it assuming it's for me

Don't, not that one!

Why? Is it a woman?

There's no sign of any life.

Rumor says the tenant is dead

The alarm clock used to go off regularly,

but even that stopped eventually

I doubt there's anyone here

Like a Buddhist mummy

Some monks holed themselves

up and rang a bell

When the bell stopped ringing,

the people outside knew he had passed away

No, a woman lives there

Yonosuke-san...

Who is it?

What?

We're not suspicious people or anything

It's this thing... They're probably gifts

Hi, sorry, I'm from unit 207

This was accidentally delivered to me

It's from someone named luchi-san.

Does that name ring a bell?

I'm busy right now

Did you just say... luchi-san?

Luchi-san?

Luchi-san? Chocolates?

For me?

- Nice to meet You.

- No, the pleasure is mine

- Hello.

- Looking forward to more

Could I get a picture?

Ready...

Great, thank you very much

"Gazes w The Photos of Keisuke Murota"

Good luck

Hey, 207

Kuramochi

Oh, wait, wait...

It's coming

- You okay? Go slowly

- I said I'm fine

Hey, long time no see

Did your water break?

My water?

No, just labor

We're three days early, man!

Sorry, slowly, slowly...

- Really, I'm perfectly fine

- Does it hurt?

The door, lock the door

- Hey, Can You lock it?

- Now?

Hey, careful, man

- You okay?

- I'm fine

Slowly

I'm fine

How do I do it? How?

How? Oh, forget about it

I'll go first

Ow! Dammit!

Hey, grab my sandal!

I said I'm fine, okay?

You'll be okay. Just hang on tight

Don't worry about him

Hey, shut up!

Aren't they cute?

Which one?

Oh, so adorable

She has your eyes

She's my friend's, not mine

"Tomoyo"

Hello, Yokomichi speaking

Oh, hi, it's me

Oh, what do you want?

Nothing, I'm just calling

You need money?

No

Say, the fruits get there?

Yeah, I already ate 'em

Weren't they sour?

Wasn't so bad

That's swell

How's Shoko?

She's fine. She's going to France to study

France?

Yeah, but only two weeks

That right? She's an

impressive gal, alright

Well, I gotta go. Doing

the dishes right now

Stay warm, mm?

Well, if isn't Yonosuke

Oh, hello

I guess it's been a while

I haven't seen your lights on,

so I assumed you'd moved out

I only come home to sleep

Huh, so you've been busy

Yes, I guess so

Hm, when I first met you,

I wondered if you'd survive,

but seems you've plugged the holes

- The holes?

- I mean, you still have some

but there's less now

I guess I've...

grown a little

Yeah, I guess you have

It's a handsome camera

Murota-san lent it to me

The chocolate guy

Oh, the photographer?

Hey, would you mind sitting there?

But why?

C'mon, please

Should I act natural?

Oops, made a mistake

What? Hurry, hurry

Just a sec

Hurry

Just don't move

Yonosuke-san

Is that your first roll of film?

Yeah, my first roll

If you don't mind,

may I be the first to see your pictures?

Well, after you, of course

Sure, but I'm not confident

they'll come out okay

Oh, it doesn't need to be

I simply want to be the first woman

to see your work

I doubt it'll be anything special...

But sure, I'll develop

them before you get back,

and keep them stashed in my closet

That's a promise!

The bus!

Let's go

Hurry, hurry

Are you okay?

Yeah, are you?

Wait

You Okay?

Hey... Stop!

Well, thank you

What? I'll go to the airport

You see, I'm not so good at being seen off

How about I see you off

Oh, c'mon

Have a great trip!

Well, okay, off I go

Yonosuke!

What!

You're the best!

Dear Shoko-san, thank you for

your phone call the other day

It was so nice talking with you

after so many years

I'm sending you what I

promised on the phone,

though it may not be anything special

It's almost three months since

Yonosuke passed away

Having lost my only son,

I am very sad, of course,

but I know I can't cry forever

When I do cry, I see Yonosuke's face

Always that carefree smile...

Recently,

I've been feeling so glad

that Yonosuke was my son

This may be an odd way to put it,

but maybe the best thing that

ever happened to me...

was being able to meet Yonosuke

Please come by and visit when you have time

Maybe we can get together

and reminisce about Yonosuke

I imagine it'll be one

funny story after another
