"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, a sixth grader, who's also a TV personality.
Mama. An Aoki Laureate novelist. The chipmunk on her head is Maro-chan.
Sagami Rei-kun. He's my manager, as well as my boyfriend and pimp.
His past girlfriend, Kurumi Asako-san, showed up,
and now, our relationship has cooled off a little.
Ah, who cares about this guy?
My name has been settled on, so give me a proper introduction!
Babbit.
Geez, what a perfunctory introduction!
And this is the problem child Hayama Akito,
who is causing trouble yet again!
I'm sorry… I didn't mean for this to happen…
Hayama, how about we go wash your face?
"Pinch, Pinch, Sana's Love"
What did you just do!?
It's your own fault for getting your face so close…
What do you mean by that!?
What's with you? Don't get all worked up over something like this…
You've got a 20-year-old boyfriend,
so something like this shouldn't be anything to you…
R-Rei-kun told me to reserve my first kiss for him,
and I had been saving my lips!
Is that right?
She's never been kissed…
He looks like he's going to snap!
Keep it together, Tsuyoshi! This isn't the classroom!
Sana-chan!
Going up…
J-just a second!
Maybe I'm just imagining it, that's what I think,
but I thought I should confirm that she's safe with my own two eyes…
I got this strong, foreboding feeling, you know?
Sana-chan is up in the observation lounge,
and it was like she called out to me…
I'm surprised you consider him your boyfriend, if that's the case…
You're just being toyed with… Figure it out already, you idiot…
Wha…
—Idiot…!? —I hear that Hayama-san's first kiss came when he was in kindergarten…
—Wha… wha… —That figures…
—What do you mean by that!? —Keep it together, Tsuyoshi!
—What do you mean by that!? —I'm getting out of here…
—What do you mean by that!? —Ah, it's no use!
Sana-chan, it's too dangerous here!
We'll be caught in the middle!
A… ki… to…-kun…
Akito-kun!
Akito-kun! Akito-kun!
—Sana-chan… —Ah, what a mess…
Let's straighten this up and get out of here, quick…
Hold the elevator…
It's all ruined…
Is Akito-kun…
…here?
Really?
"Hurry, Rei-kun!"
Sana-chan…
There are observation lounges on both the north and south sides…
"Sorry and goodbye…" What is this!?
"Sorry and goodbye… Shinbo Elementary 6th Grade, 3rd Class" "Sorry and goodbye…" What is this!?
"Congratulations! Social Studies Field Trip"
Woo-hoo!
Sensei! Your manuscript, please!
Sensei!
Sensei…!
What's that? What is it? What is it? Let's go see!
S-Sensei…
Mother… I'm sorry… Sana has been deflowered, as a 6th grader…
—Huh? What? What happened to your Social Studies field trip? —Sensei… your manuscript…
I may never find a husband!
She stepped on Onda…
What has happened to my daughter?
"Sana-chan, radically blue"
And after I made such a fuss about Rei-kun and Asako-san…
I don't care if you are Asako-san, this is wrong!
You keep your hands off of Rei-kun!
Oh, yow!
What is this!?
I just felt a little sorry for Hayama, since he suffers from a fear of heights.
I was an idiot to show him a single blessed bit of compassion.
Are you sure about that? This is blessed compassion…
I haven't even kissed Rei-kun.
But to have him, of all people, be the one to rob me of my first kiss…
Brokenhearted, I'm left to turn to my personality assessor for help…
What I feel like eating now? Sea cucumber parfait…
If I was to compare my current mood to a color? Sewer-water gray…
Okay, how about it? Ah, here it is…
"Right now, you are a fickle woman,
being led around and toyed with by two different men…"
Oh, you don't say! That is who I am, after all!
I've betrayed my beloved Rei-kun!
I'm an adulterer! I'm a mistress! I might as well kill Hayama,
and then join him, chanting "Grazie Péquignot, Kaijari Suigyo…"
Ah, boop-boop-de-boop…
Hmm, I don't quite understand all of this…
For the moment, I'd better withdraw and start over…
Sensei, your manuscript, please!
Why should I have to die because of him? Don't be absurd!
"God and Buddha, please help me"
Finished!
Now then, bing-bing, to offer my prayer!
Okay!
♪ God and Buddha, help me, help me, help me please! ♪
♪ I really did it out of compassion, ♪
♪ so really, please overlook what happened! ♪
♪ I don't consider it to be a kiss… ♪
♪ If possible, pretend it didn't happen… ♪
♪ If it's not possible, still pretend it didn't happen… ♪
♪ God, Buddha, God and Buddha! ♪
♪ Buddha, God, mm-gara-ga! ♪
♪ Rei-kun, I'm sorry, forgive me… ♪
♪ Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me! ♪
♪ Rei-kun, it didn't happen, it was nothing! ♪
♪ I didn't mean any harm! ♪
—♪ Pretend like it didn't happen… ♪ —Onda, let go! —I can't do that, Sensei!
—♪ What will I do if Rei-kun finds out?♪ —I'm so close to getting your manuscript, —Hey, let go!
—♪ No, no, don't let him find out! So please, God, Buddha, ♪ —so please…
—♪ Hear my humble request to you… ♪ —My daughter is in a state of emergency… This is no time for work…
♪ I ask you with all my heart… ♪
—♪ Where has my compassion gone to? ♪ —Is Sana-chan in there?
♪ Hayama, you idiot, what have you done!? ♪
♪ God, Buddha, Buddha! ♪
—♪ Buddha, Buddha, God! ♪ —Sana, are you okay?
—Yow! I bit my tongue! —I was just at City Hall…
Rei-kun!
We must have just missed each other…
I didn't know that there were two observation lounges…
I can't bear to face Rei-kun…
"She made a face to face him…"
I suddenly had this funny feeling, and when I got to City Hall,
sure enough, I heard that there had been a commotion
among the Social Studies field trip students, and was worried about you…
I'm glad you're safe, Sana-chan…
I wonder if Sana-chan is still upset about me and Asako.
That's not it!
Curious…
I wonder if Sana-chan is still up.
She's still angry, I guess… I'll stop pressing it…
You pressed it, all right!
I saw you!
I'm a freshly hard-boiled Sana-chan!
This, that, the other, and everything else…
it's all your fault, Hayama!
"Hayama Guard! Hey, hey!"
"6th Grade 3rd Class"
What are you making, Sana-chan?
Heh, so, you've arrived… I call this… I call this…
…the Hayama guard!
As long as I have this on, Hayama…
…--cannot for the life of him —Maybe she's doing a little better…
—get close to me! —This is Sana-chan's way of being depressed…
A-ha! So, you're here, Hayama!
Did you see that, everyone!? I prevented Hayama from getting near me!
We can't get close to you, either!
Oh, that is a drawback…
However, that's not all…
I can't get through the door, so I can't go to the bathroom!
How can this be!? I got up at 4 o'clock to make this!
What if you turned it on its side?
You really are an idiot, aren't you?
Hayama! How can you call others idiots?
If you got up at 4 o'clock to make that, you could be called an idiot…
And who the Deutsch is the one who kissed this idiot?
Oh, now I've gone and said something nonsensical…
It's so stupid, I'm speechless…
Sana-chan!
Are you okay?
Hayama-san, is it true you got your first kiss in kindergarten?
Mm-hmm…
I took the cutest girl in class out into the backyard, see?
That's Hayama-san for you!
I was there at the time! I bet 10 yen on whether or not you could do it…
You've got to try everything while you're still young…
Don't get so full of yourself!
Does this mean that instead of being the devil, you're a kissing fiend!?
Why did you kiss me, anyway?
"Class Roll 6th Grade 3rd Class"
Okay, that's enough…
Class has begun… Unless you let me start, I'll knock you flat!
You've gotten strong, haven't you, Mitsuya-sensei?
Oh, right! Before I forget, here's this week's Sana-chan…
You're Tsuyoshi-kun, right?
Did anything unusual happen at school yesterday?
Sana-chan was acting a little weird…
W-what the…?
If you're her boyfriend, then please, do a decent job of protecting Sana-chan…
T-thank you so much… I'll go ask someone else… Bye!
Okay, time to go home…
It was awful! It was like, "whoosh!" Everyone felt sorry for Sana-chan!
It was terrible! Terrible! Right? Right?
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm!
Is that right? Thanks a lot…
Hayama…
Bring him here…
Bring Hayama here…
Hey…
Oh, it's the pimp…
Get in here!
Whoa! What the hell!? This is kidnapping!
So,
you're Hayama-kun?
I understand you kissed my daughter…
How do you think it makes a girl feel to be suddenly kissed by someone, hmm?
Can a grade-school kid like you understand?
Did you ever think about how she would feel?
I didn't want to have to use this…
Sensei, whenever you're ready, okay!
Listen, I'm going to tell you just one thing…
Do it as often as you like… It's quite enjoyable…
That's all…
That's all? Sensei, you don't mean that, right?
Not to worry… I just wanted to see this Hayama boy, after all…
—Shimura-san! There's still some cake, right? —Hmm? Shimura-san?
—Give the boy a piece… —C-cake? Eh?
Right!
Right?
He kissed her!
—That's right! —That's right!
I see, what nice eyes you have… I like you…
See to it that you take good care of my daughter from now on…
Might I ask you a question, too?
Oh! Hayama used polite language!
Hmm? What's on your mind?
Where does that chipmunk poop?
Here you go… Take your time…
Maro-chan, demonstrate for him…
Maro-chan, you see…
…is very neat, so he does not excrete in the place where he sleeps…
Oh… I thought your head was covered with poop…
No, it's not covered with poop…
He ate the cake!
Thanks for the cake… Now then, I'll be going home…
Come back again, now…
Thanks for having me…
He's got pluck, huh? Fascinating…
He is still a child, as far as that goes…
I'll put on a new face before entering the house…
Okay, there!
Yow-ow-ow! The rubber band is caught in my hair! Yow-ow-ow!
Hold it!
How come you're coming out of my house!?
Sunglasses-san brought me… See ya…
I haven't forgiven you, not one bit, understand!?
Both for what you did yesterday, as well as messing up our class!
I have no intention of forgiving you! However…
I don't like having to use any of my power being angry…
So I'm going to consider what happened yesterday
as though I was "bitten by the leopard," and forget about it…
Just don't do it again…
If a leopard bit you, you'd be dead…
You keep out of it!!
No sooner do you say that than you get angry again…
Was it that unpleasant?
Of course it was! I already have someone I like… my boyfriend, Rei-kun…
I know…
Excuse me!
Hey! What are you doing to our gate!?
For Pete's sake… I just don't understand him…
Welcome back, Sana…
I'm home…
"Zenjiro's "Child's Toy""
Whassa matter, Sana-chan?
Nothing at all!
In that case, let's see your face!
The fans are awl gonna be disappointed if they can't see your face, Sana-chan…
There's a reason I'm doing this…
A reason, huh?
—Sana-chan, you're just trying out —If Hayama has already
—some new material, aren'tcha? —been over to my house,
—There must be some sup-uh reason behind wearing that mask… —then that means the secret is out.
—I'll bet there's some meaning —That means there's that much more reason
—in those cheeks… Oh, Sana-chan, —why I can't face him.
—are you re hois ing for some new role? —Ah! I'm going to have to
—What's this you've got —live my whole life
—ov-uh your head now? —without showing my face!
Awl right, if I can be of any help, I'll lend you a hand…
Is there some smawl part I can play?
Maybe I should sing…
Oh, you're singing!? Hold on…!
Here! How 'bout this?
"You're going to sing here?"
♪ Distraught Sana-chan…, what to do, Sana-chan? ♪
I really am distraught…
♪ How can this be happening? ♪
♪ Sana-chan, what's wrong♪ Fill us awl in… ?
♪ I just made this little faux pas… ♪
♪ Faux pas, pawltry, parakeet! ♪
♪ I really goofed up, and got kissed… ♪
♪ What's that, Sana-chan, you got kissed ♪
Kissed!?
Whoops…
Okay, ka-ching!
You don't need this any longer, right?
I'm sorry, Rei-kun…
Sana-chan, there's nothing you need to apologize for…
You're not angry?
Of course not… I was just worried about you…
You love me?
Mm-hmm, I love you…
Thank goodness…
At first, Sana-chan, I thought you were still upset about that other thing,
and were avoiding me…
Then Rei-kun, there isn't anything between you and Asako-san?
No, no…
You're not calling her?
No, no…
Is that right?
So, you're just collecting those clippings of her out of fandom, right?
Eep! She found out!
Uh-huh, that's right…
I believe you, Rei-kun…
What is it you don't understand about Hayama-kun?
How could he kiss me, just because I let my face get too close?
Oh? So you don't know what that means…
What I do know is that he is a kissing fiend!
Do you think a boy like that would kiss just anyone?
No, I don't…
That's not the way he looked to me…
Our guest tonight is Kurumi Asako-san…
Good evening…
Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule for us…
Not at all… I watch the show quite often…
Oh, thank you so much…
—I saw the special drama you were in earlier myself… —Oh! S-Sana-chan! The TV! The TV!
Rei-kun! Rei-kun! Rei-kun! Rei-kun! Rei-kun!
Would you come sleep with me?
Okay, ka-ching!
Sana-chan, there are a lot of nice offers for work coming in…
"Child's Toy" is all I want to do on TV…
But look, here's one where you'd play Asagiri Koji's younger sister…
That sure would be a delicious role…
Well, I've already more than kept my promise to Mama…
Promise?
That's something I still can't tell even you about, Rei-kun…
Good night!
Oh, if there are any commercials, I'll appear in those…
Okay…
Oh, morning already!?
Good morning!
Rei-kun was understanding, and doesn't mind it at all!
Love is strong! Nothing can come between us!
Oh, hey, aren't you the early one, Hayama-kun?
Hey, Hayama, don't you ignore me!
Or has your perversity powered up to the next level today!?
Well, he is at that "bankokki" (international flags), after all…
You mean "hankoki" (rebellious age)?
She's been hanging around there for nearly 20 minutes now…
It's a little creepy…
I wonder if she could be one of the sensei's fans…
WHO ARE YOU!?
Aren't you… Kurumi-san?
Y-yes…
Come on in…
—Sagami-kun… —Yes?
You have a visitor… We're coming in…
Hey, you sissy! If you've got some kind of problem,
then talk it out and settle it right now!
Okay, it's up to you now… Take all the time you need…
T-thanks…
Sana-chan said something about me being the woman that started your misfortune,
didn't she?
Yes, yes, after you dumped me, I flunked out of college…
But Rei, you hadn't been studying at all
before I ever said anything to you, right?
That's right… But after that, I lost my parents in an accident…
I thought that there would be money, but they had quite a lot of debt,
and the house was taken from me…
At first, I went around staying at friends' houses,
but that started to get demeaning,
so I started wandering around,
and before I realized it, I had become chummy with some homeless folks…
And that's my story…
I didn't know… But is that my fault?
No, it wasn't… I blamed you instead of myself…
I didn't dump you… I just wanted a little time apart,
so I could become an actress,
and then stabilize my position as an actress to a certain degree…
That's what I told you…
If you were serious, you should have been able to handle doing both!
I wasn't able to!
I'm not that coordinated! I'm not the kind of person who can do that!
You just don't say that without even trying!
You turned your back on me!
And how was I supposed to believe you,
when you told me out of the blue that you wanted to be an actress?
It would be one thing if you had done some things in the past, like Sana-chan,
but you were just an ordinary college girl!
I became one!
I became an actress…
Yes, you did… You surely did at that…
That was really great of you! You're so great! You're so great!
I'm so surprised!
Rei…
At any rate, right now, Sana-chan is the most important thing to me…
I can't think about you at all right now…
Now is no good? Then when will it be?
Rei-kun…!
Not until she's an adult…
Can I wait for you?
This is why I was avoiding you…
Huh? A visitor?
Asako-san…!
Asako-san was here!? Asako-san came to see you, Rei-kun!?
She came inside the house!? So, what is it with her!?
No! No! Rei-kun, you're my boyfriend, after all!
I think it's about time…
"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,
to always go along with the scenario.
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…
Rei-kun… Rei-kun…
Is my love just something off the children's menu?
No… no, it's not… I really was in love with you, Rei-kun!
Next time on Kodomo no Omocha, Episode 10, vaya con Dios, mi amore--
"Tweet-tweet, Love Flies Away"
Adiós, señor…
Huh!? You're really laying it on today, huh?
