"Kodomo no Omocha"
The rumor that I love you is true. Yes it is.
Whether you're awake or asleep…
You can't avoid it,
…so don't worry about it.
If I sneak into your heart by ridding you of that other love…
…is that a sin?
At sunset, when the children go home,
today's incident is burning love!
You can be sure of it!
7 O'Clock News!
Please, our relationship…
Ah, don't condemn me for a true kiss…
This town without fire…
Let's ignite it with our love!
Ah, don't live carelessly!
That's asking for too much!
I'm Kurata Sana, age 11. I'm a sixth grader,
who's also in Gekidan Komawari, and active as an entertainer.
Sagami Rei-kun. He's both my chauffeur and my manager,
as well as my boyfriend and pimp!
Mama. She's an Aoki Laureate novelist who keeps a chipmunk on her head.
And this is the fiend who is in my class, 6th Grade 3rd Class, Hayama Akito!
He's like the devil!
Hayama is the ringleader of the boys in our class, and they do whatever they want.
Our class is a shambles!
This isn't a school!
Cut it out already, would you?
Eh? His weak spot!?
What? What? What? "What!?"
The truth is…
Eh!? Fear of heights!?
—Um, Sana-chan, don't tell anyone that I said so. —Oh, is that right? O-ho-ho!
—Keep it a secret. —He's got a weakness for high places.
—Okay then, I'm going home now. —That Akito, he has such an adorable weakness,
—All right, see you later… —doesn't he?
With this, I've got Hayama beaten!
"Operation Eyeball, Toothball!"
Today's the day!
Today's the day, you just watch, Hayama!
Hey! Hayama!
Stop that! Stop that, everyone!
S-Sana-chan…?
Are you all right?
Fine… I'm fine…
Sana-chan, you're creeping me out.
SILENCE!!
Hayama! I'm calling you out to a contest!
A contest?
Against Hayama-san? What kind of contest is she planning?
Rock-paper-scissors?
Prattle on.
We're getting nowhere the way things are.
Let's settle on a winner and a loser here once and for all!
Oh my, she's serious.
It looks that way.
I'll be waiting for you in the gym after school.
It's no use trying to escape. Prepare yourself!
What is she thinking?
I wonder if Sana-chan is all right.
Everybody, this is class time. Take your seats, and lets have class.
"Class is over…"
Nice of you to come! Nice of you to come! Hayama!
I'm so happy! I'm so happy! I'm as happy as I've ever bean!
And they taste good over rice, too! Beans! Beans! Beans!
Okay, Eri-chan! Rumi-chan!
Right!
You can't escape now, Hayama Akito-kun!
Okay, onto the contest! Look over there!
What's with that anxious look on your face--?
Why are you so calm?
You wouldn't get anxious over something that wasn't there, would you?
Aya-chan! Yoo-hoo, Aya-chan!
What, Sana-chan?
Please! It isn't ready! It isn't ready! It isn't ready!
—If you would, if you would, —Whoops. Was that me?
like the way we planned! Like the way we planned!
Sana-chan, I'm supposed to pull on this, right?
Right! Right! Right! Right! Right!
What's this?
Well? Are you surprised? My Mama bought it mail order.
It's an "Easy for Everyone Bungee Jump Set!" It cost 30,000 yen.
It's perfectly safe,
as you can be assuredly see by the included "Person's weight mannequin."
You're serious about doing this?
Also, there will be this high-sensitivity mike,
which can pick up even the quietest voice. We'll use this to compare our voices.
When you jump, whoever yells the loudest loses. How about that?
I get it.
This could be pretty fun.
Come on, Hayama-chan! How about giving it a shot?
Ah! Hey, now!
Are you running away, Hayama?
It's not very cool to turn your butt toward your enemy!
Don't run away, Hayama-kun! Come here, come here, "lovely boy!"
This is stupid. You think I would do something like this?
Oh, dear! You nervous? Or are you a "baby?"
Don't tell me you're afraid of heights.
It wouldn't be something like that, right?
You dumbass! There's no way Hayama-san is scared!
Oh, is that right? Nice if that were true.
Hayama-san, are you going to let her say that?
Do it, please!
Yeah, yeah.
Show her how strong you are!
Right, right.
Say, you don't suppose Hayama-kun is afraid of heights, do you?
You're kidding! With that look on his face?
You're right, madam. That would be foolish.
U-um, Sana-chan…? Akito-kun won't exactly be…
What are you telling me!? I know, starting a fight
just to hit someone in his weak spot may be fighting a little bit dirty,
but when you consider everything he's done up to now, it's no—thing at all!
Come on, Hayama! What will it be?
If I win, then from now on, you'll have to do exactly as I say.
And if I win, you're not allowed to meddle in anything I do, all right?
Fine!
Aya-chan, mike!
Excuse me…
I beg your pardon…
Yahoo! I did it! I did it! This contest is as good as won!
After all, I love being in high places!
"Bungee Confrontation with Hayama" Make sure you good boys and girls don't go trying this.
"Bungee Confrontation with Hayama" They wouldn't, ordinarily.
Hayama-san, good luck!
Show them what kind of man you are, Hayama-san!
Is the setup okay, Hisae-chan?
Mm-hm!
Hayama!
We'll see your face in tears very soon now.
"Are you going to cry, Hayama!?"
Hayama-san!
He's nervous! He's nervous!
Hey, what are you waiting for!? Hurry up and jump, "Peggy" Hayama!
What? "Peggy"? Sana-chan, what's a "Peggy"?
Peggy Hayama is the name of a singer. Ask a grown-up nearby for more details.
Hayama-san!
He said "Ooh," right? He just said "Ooh," right?
I've got him!
"I've got him!"
Now, if you don't say anything, Sana-chan, you win, right?
All right, all right! Okay! Okay! Just leave it to me now! I've already won!
Yoo-hoo! I'm not scared at all!
—Be careful, my darling. —I love high places!
—What are you talking about? —Kurata stands on high towers!
Here I go!
Ah, damn! She's adopting a strange pose!
She's just showing off.
Sana-chan…
What happened to all that confidence you had before you jumped?
I'm… good when it comes to high places…
…but as far as falling from anyplace high…
…I'd never done it.
That was the flaw in my strategy.
I'm not sure what happened, but that means I won, right?
I lost…
Okay, okay, thank you, thank you.
That's pathetic, over something like a bungee jump.
I'm so mad at myself!
When you were a baby, we played Up-ups as high as three meters,
and you shrieked with delight.
Three meters…!?
—Up-up! —Ah, Sensei!
That must be how I got so scared!
I'm sure that's the reason why I was scared of falling!
I hate this!
Ah! Sana-chan, that's tomorrow's script!
Um, I'm your editor, Onda. I've been waiting since last week.
Sensei, is your manuscript ready?
Not in the least!
"Sana-chan Sings"
♪ Miserable defeat has me deep in the blues! ♪
♪ The weather may have cleared, but my heart is still dark ♪
♪ Rain is falling, splish-splash, deep in the blues! ♪
♪ I'm just an unlucky Twist Girl. ♪
♪ I lost! I lost! I lost! Sana lost! ♪ —Manuscript! Manuscript! Sensei, manuscript!
♪ Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, ♪
♪ what's going to happen at school♪ ?
"It's the worst of schools"
Stop! Anything but that!
Stop!
—No! Anything but that! —Oh, but they're so cute!
Hold on…!
Don't meddle.
—I can't take any more! —We did it!
I'm such an idiot.
Sana-chan, if you keep working yourself up like this,
you're going to become a worm.
Would you stop with your disgusting consolations!?
That's odd. Did I get it wrong?
"'How to Console Women' by Obana Miho" That's odd. Did I get it wrong?
"'How to Console Women' by Obana Miho" What kind of book are you reading!?
Sana-chan, are you going to give up like this?
We couldn't take that!
I'm not giving up! Not until I make Hayama say "Uncle!"
Uncle.
Uncle. Uncle.
Uncle. Uncle. Uncle.
Uncle. Uncle.
Sana-chan, if you keep gnashing around like this, you're going to become a gnat.
Shut up!
You guys!
Cut it out already, you guys! Stop this! Stop it!
Here you go.
Pizza's here!
This book is filled with nothing but lies.
You guys…!
How's your pizza?
Tanaka-sensei! It's you acting like this that's the problem here!
Why don't you stand up to those guys!?
You're the teacher! You should look sharp, like a teacher! Sharp!
Can't you look sharper!? Sharp--?
You're kidding!
Hey, stop that. Don't cry like that. Don't droop your eyes.
Don't wipe away your tears with your hands like that.
Stop sticking your bottom lip out like that.
I can't stand the life of a teacher!
Sensei!
What is this!?
What? What? What? What? What? Sensei!
"Tanaka-sensei talks confidentially"
Kurata…
What exactly is the matter here? You look positively gloomy, Sensei.
T-the truth is…
No, this isn't the sort of thing you can talk to a child about.
Why don't you tell me everything, Sensei?
I think you will feel better once you do.
Yeah? You're right. You think so? Yeah, you're right.
Well, you see… that is to say… uh…
The truth is, me and… uh… your teacher… Mitsuya-sensei…
are, um… how shall I say…?
You're making it, right? Everyone knows.
R-really…?
So, we often take our breaks together here in the nurse's office.
And Hayama knew about it.
Hayama?
He took a picture of us that one time!
Picture?
At the time, we just… got caught up in the mood, you see…
and as it happens…
You were making out?
Well, yeah.
You're kidding!
How lewd!
There's no need to shout it so loudly.
That's the vocalization I learned in Gekidan Komawari.
Although I am starting to feel a little dizzy.
"Well, in any case…"
For teachers to be making out with each other at school comes as a great shock.
I'll dance the make-out mambo!
—Make-out! Make-out! Mambo! Make-out! —You don't have to dance, just listen to me.
Anyhow, because of that, Hayama is taking advantage of us.
We can't report any of the trouble he's making to those above us.
What!?
Sensei, you should have known better,
but I can't let Hayama get away with this!
You dirty coward!!
Right, okay! Sana-chan, that was great!
Ah, thanks.
What's up, Sana-chan? That was amazingly compelling!
You wouldn't think this was a variety drama.
I really felt like I was a doity cowuhd there.
I just thought about that idiot, and I couldn't help but get fired up.
"That idiot"? Which idiot is that?
How am I going to get the pictures of the teachers making out with each other
away from him?
M-making out? How do you mean? Sounds interesting.
Tell me awl about it. Okay?
If you get the make-out pictures back, the situation will improve?
S-shua it will!
But now, befo-ah you do, tell me awl about these make-out pitch-uhs.
Hm, but that's not possible. It's not like he's going to agree to listen to me.
Is that right? Well, why don'tcha tell me mo-ah about these make-out pitch-uhs,
and maybe I can be of help.
It's okay, there is another way.
Really? Awl right! Befo-ah you tell us the way,
let's hea-uh about these make-out pitch-uhs.
"An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth."
What's that?
Yeah, he'll explain what he means, but about those make-out…
In short,
Sana-chan, you somehow or other take an embarrassing picture of Hayama-kun.
And then, you threaten him that if he doesn't do as you say,
you're going to go public with that picture.
—Oh, I get it! I can do that! —So, yeah, about these make-out pitch-uhs…
Rei-kun, you're so smart!
It may be fighting a little dirty, but after all, Hayama-kun is doing it.
Rei-kun, I love that vicious streak of yours!
I know! I'll get Tsuyoshi-kun to help me!
Tsuyoshi-kun? You mean the boy with the glasses?
Just you watch, Hayama!
An eye for an eyeball, and a tooth for a toothball!
What's a toothball?
This week's Sana-chan.
"Hayama"
Is that Hayama's house?
Sherlock Holmes. I borrowed it from Gekidan Komawari for free.
This is my smoking pipe.
Sana-chan, you're the type that gets taken in by form, huh?
And this is a Polaroid camera.
I'm going to take an embarrassing picture of him with this!
Say, Sana-chan, are you sure you won't give this up?
"No program!"
You mean "problem," right?
Tsuyoshi-kun, don't worry, I won't let him lay a hand on you.
Now then, how shall we lure him out, Washington-kun?
Watson, isn't it?
It's all your fault! Just looking at your face makes me sick!
What was that just now?
I think that's his older sister's voice.
Get out of this house right now!
Are you the one who built this house, you hysterical girl!?
What!? I wish you had never been born! If only you weren't around!
A family quarrel?
You… devil! You're the devil!
Don't come back! Don't ever come back again, devil!
"Devil"? Is that really his sister? I can't believe it. I mean, "devil"…
Hayama…
Ah, that's his father.
Eh? Hayama's?
Mm-hmm.
What? What? Why? Hey, how come? Are you sure that's Hayama's dad?
How come? How come he didn't ask him anything? How come?
How come?
Say, what are we going to do? He's leaving.
Sana-chan…
Somehow… I'm surprised…
Even he makes that face…
Sana-chan, listen, should we give up? Let's give up.
Come on! We're following him!
We're doing it after all, huh?
"After all, it's not like we can overlook everything else he's done up to now"
He went into the park.
Now you've flown into the fire, stupid Hayama.
Come on, Tsuyoshi-kun, now's our chance.
"Operation: Eye for an Eyeball, Tooth for a Toothball!"
When did the operation get that name?
No dawdling around! You'll never become a great detective like that!
I don't want to become one.
Come on, hurry up and get out there!
Hold on, don't push me, Sana-chan.
Okay, this time I'm really going to nail that Hayama!
H-huh? Hey, if it isn't Akito-kun. Fancy you being here.
Oh, what happened to your hand there?
Nothing.
Now, Tsuyoshi! Go!
Forgive me, Akito-kun!
Why, you… Tsuyoshi…
What did you do that for all of a sudden!?
Hayama Akito! You're finished now!
I got a silly picture of you there in the buff!
Oh, here it comes! Whoo, what's this!? Stupidity uncovered!
Want to see?
So, maybe I'll make a bunch of copies of this
and paste them up all over school!
Y-you…
Oh, what? You don't have any right being upset over this!
All I did was duplicate what you're doing.
Well? You're angry, right? Frustrated, right? You should be sorry!
Whoa! If you get angry at Tsuyoshi-kun,
I'll pass these bare-naked pictures around, too!
Come and take it away from me, if you can!
It's the walkie-talkie that shakes, Burutcha!
S-Sana-chan! I'm off!
Come on, come on! Can you keep up with this step I learned in Gekidan Komawari?
What are you, a tumbling act?
Way to go, Rei-kun! Nice timing!
If you do anything to Sana-chan, I'll pass this photo out!
Now, then…
Hayama Akito-kun…
How about you hand over that picture of the teachers?
Hayama-kun…
"Back against the wall."
That's what you say about times like these.
In dire straits,
I've been waiting for an answer.
My confessions are worked out long in advance,
In dire straits,
My heart may be settled, but my mind is in a…
…panic!!
When my friends invite me by, suddenly,
he's there.
And our usual classroom…
…quick-changes into a merry-go-round…
…for two.
Although I've said nothing but wisecracks…
…up to now, just for today,
I'm going to be honest and sincere,
so BOY, take a look my way!
When my friends invite me by, suddenly,
he's there,
And our usual classroom…
…quick-changes into a merry-go-round…
…for two.
Hoy! In Sana-chan's next adventures…
The game is over! Sana-chan wins! Hayama finally apologizes!
Or so we thought, but what's this, what's this?
Now, he's run afoul of the boys, too!
A challenge for the position of boss monkey?
Yuck! That's some yucky, yucky business!
How come you're so gloomy? Huh?
Next time on Child's Toy, Episode 4 of the Cold Wind of the Heart Saga:
"Lone Wolf, Awooo!" "Lone Wolf, Awooo!"
I'm worried about Tsuyoshi-kun.
"Lone Wolf, Awooo!"
