"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 6th grader and TV personality.
My beloved Mama is a novelist.
My handsome manager, Rei-kun.
Hayama Akito, my natural enemy and good friend.
Gomi Shinichi, one of Hayama's followers-
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Don't skip over Babbit's introduction!
Oh, yeah, this guy is awful. Thanks to him, the story turned serious, ma'am.
Let's first watch this replay film from last week.
I-it's Hayama-san's fault.
"My Shinichi-chan is going to test for Kaimei Middle School."
You spread it around to everyone!
I'm not about to go to any school where he is!
"Gomi-kun, Gomi-kun, Where Are You Going?"
I'm home.
Welcome home, Shinichi-san. You can stay home from school starting tomorrow.
There will be a private tutor coming to our home instead.
He's the same excellent tutor that taught your brother.
He'll be coming starting tomorrow. Is that clear, Shinichi-san?
Yes.
Don't go deciding… don't go deciding things for me without asking me, you damn hag!
Damn! It hurts!
Sorry to butt in while you're being serious, but your dad brought home sushi.
Sushi!?
There must have been…
there must have been something that happened between those two.
Did something happen?
Not really.
There must have been something that happened!
Something happened! Something happened, I tell you!
I tell you, I tell you! Something happened!
Something something something happened happened happened!
♪ Boys have roads that they go down, ♪
♪ and girls have roads that they go down. ♪
♪ Hayama's road is winding and strays, ♪
♪ and if you call to him with a kind voice… ♪
"Not really. None of your business."
♪ You can't say that! You can't say that! Not without sauce! ♪
♪ That's too much for Mari-chan, hideous to Hide-chan! ♪
Shut up!!
Mama is working! I'm writing a manuscript!
And what are you doing!?
Are you amusing yourself by yelling all night and bothering me!?
Mama is trying this… this… this hard to work, and you're bothering me!
Sagami-kun! You say something to her, too!
It's starting! "Late-Night Chaos Theater," episode 1!
Ah, they're airing it tonight?
We don't have a video deck, so let's watch it closely now, with our naked eyes.
—♪ Our naked-naked eyes-eyes, ♪ —♪ Our naked-naked eyes-eyes, ♪
—♪ naked eyes-eyes… ♪ —♪ naked eyes-eyes… ♪
Ka-boom!!
—♪…naked eyes! ♪ —♪…naked eyes! ♪
—If you want to make noise, make it out there! —Aah! Please stop! Aah!
—If you want to make noise, make it out there! —Asako, I love you! Aah!
H-hold on, Mama, this is a bit much…
So what!? Are you saying that Mama trying to work
is more to blame than you guys making noise!?
N-no, the one to blame is… the one to blame is… that's right! It's Hayama!
If we go back to the start, this is all Hayama's fault!
It's not disgusting.
It's not, huh? That's nice.
No, don't just say "that's nice," Dad!
Don't you think Akito is acting weird?
Whatever, just hurry and eat your sushi!
Akito, are you being weird?
Not really.
See?
—He is being weird! Weird! Weird, I say! —Whatever, just hurry and eat your sushi!
Why are you eating sushi with your face covered, huh?
You don't have to act so surprised.
Of course I'm surprised! I'm shocked and stunned!
My brother is eating sushi with his face covered,
and suddenly, he starts to vibrate!
Any Japanese person would be bowled over!
"Kitchen garbage, construction worker, Amitabha, seaweed."
What are you trying to tell me, Kurata?
—Now he's saying things that don't make any sense! —Kitchen garbage, construction worker,
—That's positively, positively, positively weird! —Amitabha, seaweed…
—No, no, no! Not only does he —Aren't you going to eat your sushi?
—cover his face while eating sushi, —No matter how much of it I eat…
—and then start to vibrate, —Ah, it's still delicious.
—but now he's blurting out the weirdest things! —Ah, it's still delicious.
I've got to go tell the Hashimotos across the street!
Ah, this is such a fine household.
Oh, yeah, when you decipher it…
"What happened between you and Gomi?"
…that's what it says.
"What happened between you and Gomi?"
Sana-chan, We watched it!
You did, huh? You watched it? Watched what?
Last night's "Late-Night Chaos Theater."
—I'm not sure how to say this, —When it comes to money…
—but I got the feel of your Gekidan Komawari spirit. —That's right, what of it?
Uh-huh! You stood out even more than the main characters!
—Oh, did you notice the slight pratfall I did at the end? —Just a minute.
—Mm-hmm. —For you, I would even…
Say, what did you think of Take-chan?
Take-chan?
Gojo Takeshi, so "Take-chan." He was pretty handsome, huh?
S-sure he was…
Say, it's been in the sports papers and stuff,
but Sana-chan, do you really find that old guy…
I love him.
—Urgh! —Urgh! —Urgh!
—Ew, ugh! Ew, ugh! Ew, ugh! —Ew, ugh! Ew, ugh! Ew, ugh! —He's fairly mischievous,
—Ew, ugh! Ew, ugh! Ew, ugh! —Ew, ugh! Ew, ugh! Ew, ugh! —and just a little bit timid…
that's what's so nice about him.
Sana-chan, way to go!!
That's right! If you love him, you should be able to say you love him, huh?
Hisae-chan…
By any chance?
It's nothing, really! Nothing!
Wait up!
You like him, too? You like him too?
What!? What!? What!? What!? What!?
How do you do that!? How do you do that!?
Ow!
Hayama?
Sorry, sorry.
What happened to your face?
Nothing.
"Naru-head!!"
Shinichi-kun…
Can't you even solve those problems?
I don't get it! Tell me how to do it, step-by-step.
Come in.
Are you getting anywhere, Sensei?
Thank you so much.
Looks like you're making progress, huh Shinichi-san?
Yes.
That's right.
I understand that Kaimei Middle School's assistant principal…
…was once Shinichi-kun's father's homeroom teacher.
Yes.
But an entrance exam is an entrance exam. They won't let him in for nothing,
so Shinichi-san will have to study hard for us.
Well, continue, if you please.
What made you want to test for Kaimei Middle?
I'm going to tell you this flat-out…
If you can't even solve those problems,
it'll be impossible for you to get into Kaimei Middle.
What will you do once you test for Kaimei Middle and fail?
If you can't go back to Jinbo Middle, what exactly do you plan to do?
Don't you think Jinbo Middle would be better for you?
I heard they're raising the sales tax.
What will we ever do?
You guys in 6th grade?
Y-yes.
Is Gomi-kun here?
You know who Gomi-kun is, right?
H-he's not here today.
How come?
"Gomi is all alone"
Being all alone is… no fun!
Aw, I'm bored.
Seriously?
Heh heh, those were the days.
Tch, I'm short.
Ah! You're thinking of doing something shameful, aren't you?
Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?
Hey! That's shoplifting!
What are you doing?
Hey! Hold it, you!
Gomi!?
What are you doing?
Hold it, you!
Yikes!
Hey, you! Hey, you!
What the?
What do you think you're doing!?
You're one incorrigible kid! Are you still in elementary school?
Don't you know right from wrong!?
What school do you go to? Jinbo Elementary? Where do you live?
Dad! Dad!
What's the matter? Want me to bring home sushi again?
Akito's been… Akito's been…
What an alarming situation!
What's the matter? Has your makeup collapsed again?
Hayama Akito has been shoplifting!?
—We're… —We're… —We're…
—Gomi —Itami —and Kojima!
"Babbit's drawing song"
Rice cake, bump, bump, line, line, triangle,
"Babbit's drawing song" raindrop with a heart in it, draw the wings,
"Babbit's drawing song" and it's Babbit!
Gossip about Hayama! Gossip about Hayama!
"Gossip" Gossip about Hayama! Gossip about Hayama!
"Gossip" —I heard Hayama-san was caught shoplifting! —Have you heard?
"Gossip" —Did you hear about Hayama-san? —Know what Hayama-san did?
Akito, your dad hates lies, exaggerations, and vagueness,
so I'm going to ask you directly…
Did you shoplift anything?
No, I didn't.
He says he didn't.
My word! How dare he say that so brazenly and bald-facedly!
But then, what is a bald face? What is a brazen? I'm not sure, but ooh!
This could be dangerous, so you good boys and girls shouldn't try it at home.
Ah! Babbit's the one who makes the quips!
Now, listen here, Father!
Yes?
The store owner… who, parenthetically, has an eyesight of 0.03…
said that he saw your son shoplifting!
—Aah, this is alarming, —Whatever you might say,
—alarming, alarming, alarming! —I didn't do what I didn't do.
Whatever you might say, he says he didn't do it.
Principal, Hayama-kun has caused some rather humorless mischief before.
He has even driven me to tears quite a bit.
H-he's driven you to tears, Mitsuya-sensei!?
Still, I'm not entirely sure that Hayama-kun is the kind of boy who would tell a lie.
The fact remains that an incident of shoplifting did take place!
Principal, dispense a harsh punishment, if you please!
It'll all turn out…
And let's not have you smile things away today
by saying "it'll all turn out fine-fine."
Can't I? But I so much want to!
The man from the store said that he did it, but Hayama-kun said he didn't do it.
I told you something at our Guidance session, didn't I?
Once more! If you cause one more incident,
your advancement to Middle School will be in jeopardy.
That's ridiculous! Hayama shop…
No! No, he didn't! Akito-kun… Akito-kun wouldn't do something like that!
That's right. If Tsuyoshi-kun believes Hayama-kun, then so do I.
Aya-chan, thank you.
Because of our love-love power, I believe.
Shinichi-san…
It's about time you took a breather and had some lunch.
S-sure.
"Pass"
Today, I made your favorite, omelet and rice, Shinichi-san.
"Pass" Thank you.
Shinichi-san, I heard a bit of a rumor going around…
"Gossip" Shinichi-san, I heard a bit of a rumor going around…
W-what?
It seems that there was some shoplifting committed…
…by that boy Hayama-kun in your class. How disturbing.
D-don't tell me… Hayama-san…
They say that Hayama-kun was a bad kid before this.
As I remember, he doesn't have a mother.
I'm so glad you didn't turn out like that, Shinichi-san.
Geez, yes I have!
If your mother ever heard that you had done something like that, Shinichi-san…
If I had done something like that?
If you had done something like that…
Mom?
I'm sorry. I'm disturbing your lunch, aren't I?
It's Hayama-san's own fault…
Hayama-san spread it around about me and Kaimei Middle…
But if Hayama-san snitches on me about the shoplifting…
Okay, it's mine!
All right!
Tsubasa-kun, shoot!
Huh? Gomi?
Y-yo!
—Gossip… gossip… Go! Go! —Did you hear about Hayama-san shoplifting?
Yeah, I heard a rumor.
Man, isn't that lame!?
I figured he's the kind of guy that would pull something,
but shoplifting water pistols? That's weak.
Never mind that, Gomi, are you studying for entrance exams?
Yeah.
When I heard from someone in 2nd Class
that you were testing for Kaimei Middle, Gomi,
I thought it was hinky, malarkey, and Antonio Inoki!
I'll bet… hey! What do you mean, someone in 2nd Class?
That shaggy Watanabe kid, in 2nd Class.
I heard it when he was spreading stuff around in the hall, like he always does.
What!? You mean, Hayama-san wasn't the one who told everyone!?
I-I don't know!
Someone of as few words as Hayama-san wouldn't say anything, about that, right?
What's the matter, Gomi? You're suddenly so serious…
It wasn't Hayama-san!
It wasn't Hayama-san… It wasn't Hayama-san who ratted on me!
Hayama?
Everyone thinks you shoplifted, but did you really?
No, I didn't.
What went on? Tell me plainly everything that happened, Hayama.
If saying that I didn't do it doesn't do any good…
…then it's no use.
Hey, don't tell me it's no use!
Are you okay with not being allowed to go to Jinbo Middle?
It's none of your business.
None of my business!?
Hey, what's with you!?
I'm worried about you! I'm worried about you!
We're best friends, right!? I'm the lead character, right!?
You've got no reason to hide anything from…
Time for the drama taping! Time for the drama taping! Time for the drama taping!
Oh, no! I have to get to the studio on my own today!
Oh, right! Hayama, I believe you, okay? Bye!
Hayama-san!
Huh? I thought he was just here, talking to Kurata. Damn!
What is it with everyone?
I… have to tell Hayama-san…
I have to tell Hayama-san…
"Gomi Legal Office"
Yes, one moment please.
You have a telephone call from your son.
What? As busy as I am right now?
Hello, is that you, Shinichi? Why are you calling me here?
Hello? Shinichi!? Answer me!
Hello, Shinichi!? You can hear me, can't you? Your father is busy.
If you don't want anything, then I'm hanging up.
You're going to go to Kaimei Middle, aren't you?
If you had done something like that, Shinichi-san…
If you have something to say to me, then do it when I get home.
Dad! I'm sorry!
I'm… I'm… I'm the one who… I'm the one who…
I'm the one who shoplifted!!
I'd like to make a crack here, but I can't.
Waah! It's starting!
I am truly sorry for the terrible trouble my son has caused you.
I'm sorry.
We have already been over to offer our apologies to the store owner.
Please raise your head, Gomi-san.
All the blood will go to his head, after all.
No making cracks right now!
Aw, he got mad at me.
Akito-kun, I don't know how to make it up to you.
You stood up for Shinichi right up to the end,
without ever mentioning his name.
As his father, it is difficult for me to face you.
Um, you should let the tea cool down a little…
Shinichi has always been physically weak, and prone to getting sick,
so in order to afford him a little latitude in his school life,
we enrolled him into Jinbo Elementary, with its escalator system.
But these last few years, he has become quite healthy.
Both my wife and I became overeager,
and suggested he sit for that entrance exam.
We probably shouldn't have done so.
Don't forget to take that jacket of yours home tonight.
H-Hayama-san… I'm…
I'm sure you must have been quite concerned about your son, Hayama-san.
I believed him.
I believed what my son thought and did. I am his father, after all.
We really are terribly sorry for this. Good night.
Are you still mad at Gomi-kun?
I was never mad at him to begin with.
Dad, I… I…
I heard that Hayama-kun is going to Jinbo Middle.
What about you, Shinichi?
I'm…
This week's Sana-chan!
Hey, Sana-chan, I hoid you've been waiting for five hours.
It shua is rough being an extra, huh?
Well, just wait patiently. Now then, my quiz show is just about to start taping…
Zenjiro-chan, you've got a 100-hour wait.
We've been waiting for five hours.
And our line is just…
—"Aah!?" —"Aah!?"
…that's all.
Five-hour wait.

This is handy!
I can also write with it.
"The next day…" I can also write with it.
Yo, give me some money.
Gomi-kun has stopped coming to school.
We're hard up now.
You guys!
Don't you lay a hand on Hayama-san!
—What? —What? —What?
Hayama-san, if you cause any more trouble,
you won't be able to go to Jinbo Middle, right?
Let's both go to Jinbo Middle together, Hayama-san.
Why, you! You thinking of turning your back on us!?
H-Hayama-san, is that?
For self-defense. You want to use one too?
Hayama-san!
Don't you toy with us!
—Double fire! —Double fire!
You bastards! Stop messing with us!
Hey! No fighting!
W-who was that!?
I will not allow any alarming situations!
What was that thing!?
Help!
Hold it!
I'm not afraid of you guys anymore!
Don't mess with us!
Alarming! Alarming! Alarming! See here! See here!
I'm not sure what's going on, but hey you, hold it!
Hey, there's a fight out in front of the school!
—Love-love believe! —Love-love believe!

Hoy! In Sana-chan's next adventures…
I've got nationwide valentines!
But then, there's one class that's the most indifferent to Valentine's Day
in all of Japan,
and that's Jinbo Elementary, 6th Year, 3rd Class! That's the truth.
Love just doesn't suit our class.
Is this bunch capable of celebrating Valentine's Day?
