MISSION 26
"IT'S JUST OBON."

Is everyone ready to go?

Let's go!

It's hot again today.
It's supposed to get up to 35 degrees!

Was summer always this hot?

Compared to ten years ago.

And then Ms. Aoyama from next door said,

"That's no way to raise children."

And everyone got mad.

The coating is crisp and thin,

and the sweet filling
goes all the way to the tail.



But I think…

Oh, anyone want a salt candy?

We have to be careful of heatstroke.

Komi family, business as usual.

When a person has extreme social anxiety,

they struggle to communicate with others.

Bear in mind,

they only struggle to form connections.

It doesn't mean that they don't want to.

You had a nice, long chat.

Did you properly greet your ancestors?

NOD

It's been ages, Mom.

KOMI'S GRANDMOTHER: YUIKO KOMI



Come in.

Look at you. Haven't changed a bit.

Oh my!

Shuko, you're here!

Hey, Ryoko!

How've you been?

-Great!
-THEY GET ALONG WELL.

UNCLE: SADAYOSHI

FATHER: MASAYOSHI

PRESSURE

They get along well.

What?

Is that Shoko?

You get prettier and prettier
every time I see you.

DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO REACT
SO SHE NODS.

Adorable.

Oh yes, Shoko.

Akira's here, so could you play with her?

COUSIN: AKIRA
(JUNIOR HIGH YEAR 1)

COUSIN: AKIRA
(JUNIOR HIGH YEAR 1)

She hasn't seen you in so long.

She's feeling shy.

KOMI IS GONE.

RUMBLE

STARTLE!!

DIDN'T MEAN TO STARTLE HER,
AND STARTLED HERSELF MORE.

AFRAID

DOESN'T WANT TO SCARE HER

JUMP

H-Hey, Shoko… Stop that!

TICKLE TICKLE

TWITCH

The emotional distance
between them has shrunk.

WARMED UP TO KOMI

LIVING ROOM

GARDEN

Shoko.

TOILET

Um, Shoko?

Do you want to play a board game?

NOD

SUDDEN FLOOD OF TEARS

No, I'm alright.

I'm just so happy you want
to hang out with me.

Until now you always
just sat and looked at me.

-SHOSUKE, HOW HANDSOME! C'MERE!
-KOMI WORKING ON FAMILY BONDING.

-HOME EXPLODES.
-CAT FINDS MONEY! GET 1 MILLION YEN.

Three.

"You have an affair with your young boss.
Get two million yen."

Shoko, go see your grandmother
before dinner.

In the Komi family,

it is customary to keep Grandmother Komi,
the head of the household,

abreast of current going-ons
and seek her wisdom.

LOOKS LIKE GRANDMA SAID SOMETHING STERN.

Come in.

Sit.

Shoko, you're in high school now.

Are you having fun at school?

Is anything worrying or bothering you?

Have you made any friends?

Is that so! That's good.

I'm happy for you.

By the way, have you met anyone special?

What's that reaction?

Show me your phone.

Who is this Hitohito Tadano?!

I don't approve!

-Achoo!
-Did you catch a cold?

MISSION 27
"IT'S JUST A FESTIVAL."

AUGUST 24TH

Tadano!
Let's meet at the festival tonight at six.

-Huh? Today?
-Wear a yukata!

See ya!

So I was told, and here I am.

I feel like I stand out.
Not many people are wearing yukata.

Whoa.

-WORRIED THE YUKATA DOESN'T SUIT HER.
-Oh, uh. I mean, you look really nice.

That just slipped out.
Don't worry about it.

Najimi… You could've said Komi was coming.

LOOKS FOR HER NOTEBOOK.

FORGOT HER NOTEBOOK.

Forgot your pen and paper?

Hey!

Thanks for waiting, Tadano and Komi!

It's summer! Summer is here!

What's with the procession?

Huh? Oh, my plans for the festival
were thousand-booked.

Thousand-booked?

But a friend of a friend
is still a friend, right?

Let's go!

What's with the mutant people skills?

Well, I guess we should go too.

What's wrong?

Ta… Ta…

-Ta…
-Hm?

Ta…

Ta… Ta… Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta…

This takes me back.

Oh, anxious because
you don't have your notebook?

It's alright. I'm here with you.

Oh, uh, I don't mean it in a weird way.

DECIDES NOT TO STRESS.

Hm? Wait a minute…

Komi and I, alone at the festival.

-No, other people are here. Like Najimi!
-BEST NOT TO THINK TOO DEEPLY.

Look, they're doing the Bon dance.

-Let's try target practice!
-FLEES FROM AWKWARDNESS.

Huh? What's wrong with me today?

ANDORO CHOCOLATE

PRESSURE

I can't focus when I'm being watched.

I mean, why am I being watched?

K-Komi, do you want to try?

Hey! So we meet again!

It's Makeru Yadano.

Today I'm competing
at target practice with Komi.

Let's see who can get the most prizes!
It's on, Komi!

TARGET PRACTICE
BEST OF FOUR

You lose!

You lose!

You lose!

It's a tie.

Miss, bring back the gun!

Hey!

Komi! Tadano!

Let's play Candy Cutout!

In Candy Cutout,

a toothpick is used to cut out
a shape from a flat piece of candy.

Successful attempts
may be exchanged for a prize.

Oops.

-HASN'T SUCCEEDED ONCE.
-I'm kinda hooked. This is my 15th try.

You're a gambler in the making.

Ta… Ta… Ta-Ta-Ta… Ta-Ta-Ta…

Ta… Ta… Y-Y-Y-Y…

You're good at this, Komi!

Are you two hungry?

You got bored, didn't you?

I'll go buy something!

Komi has been acting weird all day.

I guess she's not having fun…

I should ask.

-Ta…
-Ko…

Oh, uh, no, you f-first.

Ta…

Ta…

Tadano…

you…

look…

nice… too…

Look nice?

Oh!

LOOKS FOR HER NOTEBOOK

FORGOT HER NOTEBOOK

Forgot your pen and paper?

Ta… Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta…

Is that what you've been trying to say
all this time?

He cut out his candy really well.

Look! Look, Tadano.

My tongue is blue!

Yeah. Okay.

Komi!

Sorry for keeping you waiting!

-The usual crowd.
-WASN'T WAITING.

Ko…

-Yuka…ta.
-PROMPTLY FAINTED.

What's her deal?

Next let's go play the rope lottery!

-Which should I pull?
-I worry for Najimi's future…

The rope lottery. Just pull a rope
and get the attached prize.

It's a simple festival game.

I definitely want the top prize.

That rope is way older than the rest!

It's the most ragged!

This is it!

POCKET TISSUE

Tadano! Take out the enemy!

I'll pay you.

Huh?

If I must.

Step right up.

Which one should I pull?

Whoooooa!

Whoooooa!

Alright, this one.

POCKET TISSUE

Granny, none of these are winners.

That's not true.

Komi, you're our last hope! Please!

HAPPY TO BE RELIED UPON.

Yes.

Of course there are some winners.

This is a business after all.

I've got to play fair.

But you know…

there are strategies, grasshopper!

The old lady's vibe changed!

The rope attached to the PlayStore V!

It looks old and worn.

But that's a fake!

It's switched with a new rope partway.

And facial expressions.

People with no guts don't choose
the ropes that I don't react to.

Well, those are decoys anyway.

It's no use!

Color, aroma, thickness… Many tricks.

The more you think, the tighter the trap!

That's how it's done!

ISN'T THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING.

Yay!

Komi looks beautiful
no matter what she does.

Huh? Nakanaka?

Elegant red servants of the water.

Come to your master.

She's muttering something.

Heh.

Until we meet again.

-KOMI DIDN'T NOTICE.
-NAKANAKA GOT A PITY PRIZE.

Komi!

I finally found you!

Stay where you are.

Could you squat down?

Yes, like that.

I bought a frankfurter!

C'mon, eat my frankfurter!

What's she doing to Komi?!

I'll eat it for you.

MUNCH MUNCH

Something fun's happening over there!
Let's go!

GLASS ART

DEAD END!

Komi!

NEAR TEARS

Even if you get lost,
you can just contact me on your phone.

OH YEAH!

I messaged Najimi, so let's wait here.

So many people.

Hm?

YES

I guess you were happy
to meet up with everyone.

IT WAS FUN WITH
JUST THE TWO OF US AS WELL.

Huh?

SCRAPE

YES

Hey!

Oh, Najimi and the gang are back.

Komi!

Look, my white chocolate banana.

-Suck…
-Don't say it!

MISSION 28
"IT'S JUST THE END OF SUMMER."

AUGUST 31ST

TADANO

Welcome, Komi!

Come in! Don't mind the mess.

Hey, this is my place.

Uh, c'mon in.

K-Komi is in my place…

Komi came over to Tadano's place?

I can't believe it.

Something's here.

Ta-da!

This is Tadano and his sister's room!

Huh.

Hitohito, are these your friends?

Ah.

Oh, hello.

Thanks for always
being nice to my brother.

I'm his little sister, Hitomi Tadano.

We share the room,
so you'll see me around,

but pay me no mind.

THEY'RE SOMEHOW EXCITED.

Long time no see, Hitomi!
It's been what, a year?

Najimi! You've… changed?

I'm Yamai. Thanks for having me.

You're welcome.

Wow, she's so beautiful.

Is she with my brother?

-Hey, Hitohito.
-Huh?

What did you do?

-Huh?
-What did you do?!

Uh…

I have gathered you here today

in order to carry out
an important mission.

To tell the truth…

I haven't finished a single bit
of my summer homework.

Ah, I had a feeling that was it.

Yes! As I was saying.

I must ask you to show me your homework!

Why are you so okay with this?

This happened last year too.

No time management.

-KOMI IS DUMBSTRUCK.
-That's harsh.

What is this?

Let one who has finished their homework
cast the first stone!

Of course I'm done.

Me too.

If I stay up all night, I'll fini--

So typical.

Tadano, you never let me down.

Anyway, you should never copy homework.

Komi, you don't have to share your notes.

Huh?!

Okay, we'll do our homework,
but you guys can just relax.

I'LL STUDY TOO.

Wow, great!

Alright, since I'm here,

I'll just watch Komi.

Summer's over for another year.

That was fast.

Yeah.

We sure had fun!

We didn't do anything
for the first week, though.

First there was the pool.

I went 51 times this year alone!

Huh? Do we even have 51 days of vacation?

Komi fell and scraped her knee.

Is it better now?

When Komi fell, Yamai and the others
filed down the spot on the ground.

I have a picture. Do you want to see?

Really? Show me!

Here.

Oh, I saw Komi at the library.

Then later at the park too.

-YOU SHOULD'VE SAID HI.
-Ah, you're right.

I'll do that next time.

We went to the festival too!

That reminds me, Tadano.
What was your Candy Cutout prize?

Oh, I forgot to get it.

Huh? What a waste.

Yamai, did you hang out with Komi?

Huh?

You said the two of you
were going to do something.

Oh, about that…

Oh, I see, you couldn't ask her out.

W-W-W-What's wrong, Komi?

SORRY. I'M FINE.

I

I NEVER WANTED SUMMER BREAK
TO LAST LONGER BEFORE.

TEARY-EYED…

Me too! I don't want it to end either!

I'll never finish my homework!

Okay, let's cut the chatter and get to it.
