"Kodomo no Omocha"
Both today and tomorrow, I've got time to kick back.
My family of four and I are going to stay the night.
Put on an Egyptian front and become a sphinx,
and for an American feeling, Texas!
When you're sitting pretty, with enough and to spare,
and yet you always shilly-shally,
and your bitter face and bitter feelings both teeter-totter,
it's time to get out of there!
I am feeling Ultra Relax,
a wonderful, invincible Relax.
A one-step-above kind of Deluxe.
I may be a little jumbled, but when I'm called on, ba-ba-ba-ba-bang!
I always feel Relax,
a humble, simple, sort of Deluxe.
Bright! Clear! Alert-headed, peep-peep!
Keep your eyes on me, Okay!?

My name is Kurata Sana, first year middle school student.
Aoki-Award winning, author, Mama, the squirrel is Maro-chan.
Manager and driver, Rei-kun.
Mysterious white bat Babbit.
Hayama, Akito, who does Karate, a passionate lone wolf.
Matsui Fuka, best friend I met in the bathroom with a Western accent.
I'm going out with Fuka now.
Sana-chan.
I can do anything for you.
Ow...
I'm here Sana-chan...
So... Don't cry... Please don't cry...
I'm Not the One Who Gets Turned Down and Cries.
Sana-chan! It's me, I'm coming in...
S-Sana-chan?
Huh? Rei-kun...
Would you like to play a game to kill some time?
Game?
Here you go, Sana-chan! It's a very interesting game.
I'm recently addicted to it!
Yeah, yeah, you got it!
Wow! You're doing great, Sana-chan! Ah! You need to stop there,
and go back the other way.
Sana-chan?
Ah! The Black Babbit! No! You got peed on!
Oooh game over...
Too bad. You were so close to winning! Just a bit more....
How much it "a bit"? I don't see any chance at all!
Oh yes! Do you want some popcorn?
Food is it, this time?
Are you an idiot?
Then how about this?
What is "etucsinahcanas"?
The answer is... "Sana-chan is cute!"
Next question is... um...
Rei-kun?
Eh? What is it Sana-chan?
Can you leave me alone for a bit?
Oh, that's right, your must be tired.
Please rest well tonight!
Goodnight...
With Sana-chan so sad, how can I talk to her about the production?
I see. Sana-chan is heartbroken?
Yes, she doesn't usually get depressed about little things.
But this time she really lost her spirit.
I don't want an expressionless Sana-chan in front of the camera either.
Yes...
Anyway...
We'll shoot the rest of the scenes that don't involve Sana-chan.
I truly apologize.
However...
We're near the limit, Sagami-san.
There aren't many scenes left that don't have her.
And we also need to prepare for the shot two days after tomorrow.
I want to be ready by then.
I understand...
She will definitely recover after one more day of rest.
Even so...
What method should I use to cheer her up?
Oh yeah! Cake attack!
Sana-chan! Here's some delicious cakes, have some and work hard, OK?
How about takoyaki? (fried octopus balls)
Wait a minute, Rei-kun!
You think that plan would work on Sana-chan right now?
Well, no, I didn't think...
Ahh... I can't even cheer her up! Why am I so useless?
I know! I must call the person who does things the way you least expect.
Least expected way? Who could that be?
There are too many of them! I can't figure it out!
What's that about? Everyone seems to be stressed out.
Remember to shut the door or the mosquitoes will come to eat you.
Sana-chan, I'll definitely reach her!
Don't tell me she's already in bed...
Sorry, Rei-kun. I made you worry about me.
It's all my fault.
I need to forget all about Hayama as soon as possible...
I know I have to go back to normal as soon as possible...
but I just can't get it out of my head.
Start moving them!
What should I do with the sheets?
Just get it in there.
Okay, here we go!
Mm? Did you hear some noise?
That... that's a helicopter!
I think it's coming this way!
Ah... It is coming closer.
Something is falling down.
It can't be planning to land here?
H-How very unexpected...
Ooh! It's Kurata-san!
Hello! Nice to meet you all! I am Sana's mother.
Thank you for taking care of her.
I heard that she's in trouble, so I came right away.
Who would have expected...
Over there are presents I've brought.
Please, everyone help yourself.
Wow! There's even turtle!
And eels, too!
What a fantastic present, Sensei.
They're energizing supplements. I hope you like them.
Sensei...!
Ah, Sagami! Long time no see. Thanks for your phone call.
Oh! I'm so glad! I'm so glad!
I'm so glad you're here! Only you can save Sana-chan now!
Sensei...
Onda-san...
what's the matter?
I... I have a fear of heights.
Sensei, please don't forget! The deadline is tomorrow!
Let... go... of... me!
You shouldn't have come.
Go bring Sana's stuff down!
Let's go. Sagami-san!
Yes! I'm sorry Onda-san, it's all because of me.
Sana-chan... you have a wonderful guest!
Rei-kun, I don't feel like seeing anyone right now.
Mama!!
Yaho!
Mama... Mama!!!
It's OK. Sagami already told me all about it.
How's your leg?
It's better now. It doesn't hurt anymore.
I see... That's good.
But... I can't hold myself together anymore!
I can't concentrate on work!
I've already taken so many days off...
and given everybody so much trouble...
because of Hayama.
Yes, I heard about it...
The thing about Hayama is still banging around in my head.
You mean "hanging around"...
I know that I must forget quickly...
and Naozumi confessed to me...
Everything's such a mess!
Ha...! You stupid idiot!
Sensei...!
Mama... what are you doing to your precious daughter?
Because you want to escape, that's why!
Don't do that! If you have worries, then worry all the way!
But I have to forget them so I can work!
My head is so messed up...
Can't work...
Mama, you don't know anything about my feelings!
Come to think of it, I don't.
Sensei!
It's your fault, Sagami! You did not clarify anything at all last night!
Sensei, it's a really bad situation for Sana-chan!
Hayama-kun is going out with another girl. Stop it!
Naozumi-kun comforted her, but Sana-chan is still depressed.
Are you listening? Sensei?
What in the would?
I thought Sagami was dating a monkey and Hayama-kun was dating Naozumi-kun.
But that's not important. Here's a gift from Shimura-san.
From Shimura-san?
Please take a look.
Wow! There's mini-octopus, sausage, and tempura prawns!
Mmm... These are so good, Shimura-san.
And this is from your mother.
Whenever I have problems, I write them down to release the stress.
In here?
The harder you try to forget, the more the problems get stuck in your head...
and you can't forget then!
That's why you need to face them and stand up to them.
Face the worries?
Worry to the maximum.
Use your own ability to turn the worries into strengths.
Turn them into strengths?
But I can't do that.
Yes you can. Because you are my child.
You are only a little scared now.
Someday you'll laugh at yourself for being so worried about such small thing.
Eh? But It hurts so much right now.
Stop mumbling and start writing!
[Hayama]
[me]
[kiss...]
Ah! This is too embarrassing!
Shush!
Keep it to yourself!
Isn't Sensei a little over excited today?
When that happens, the best way is to push through it!
[Fuka]
I'm going out with Fuka now.
Naozumi-kun said he likes me.
I... I love Hayama.
But, Hayama is going out with Fuka.
Hayama and I...
[Friends]
But I...
I'm still in love with him.
I've written this much, but I still like him.
Even if he is going out with Fuka...
I still love Hayama.
I see. I don't need to change anything.
If I can't change my feelings no matter what,
I should just let it be like that.
Say, Mama,
I...
Huh? Mountains of trash!
I think I'm fine now...
I understand what's happening.
Is it really OK as it is?
Resolutely confronting the enemy is the key to victory.
What is 'A-N-A-B-O'?
It's "Obana"! (The mangaka)
Waa! Haven't woken up feeling great in a long time!
But my hip really hurts!
Carefully...
Mama!
You sat on my leg and it hurt! And I was having such a nice time sleeping too!
Nice time sleeping? Mama, did you finish your manuscript?
Of course not, I fell asleep!
But Onda-san has been waiting for them for a long time, right?
Sana... There are many misfortunes in life.
And I must teach that philosophy to my adorable Onda.
So I have decided to doze off a bit more. Good night again!
Ah! Mama wait a minute! If you don't finish I'll feel so bad for Onda-san!
Mm... What's the poor Onda-san doing now. Let's go see for ourselves!
Wow! Did Onda-san stay up all night
How can I sleep with Sensei staying up trying to figure out her story?
He sounds like the very figure of a good editor.
In contrast... Sensei is nothing like him.
I'm going off for a little walk, Mama.
Ahh... I can't do it, Even this morning...
GOOD MORNING!! Naozumi-kun!
That scared me!
Oh, Sana-chan, Good Morning!
You seem to be up for some fun, Naozumi-kun!
Rising early to greet the sun!
You seem to be pretty cheerful.
Just as Mama said...
I feel relaxed after being extremely worried.
I'm so uncomplicated!
Sana-chan!
I think it should be fine if I just let it go naturally.
Eh!?
About Hayama... it's not like I wanted to date him...
As things are, I think it's OK...
just to think about him.
I'm not going to ask for anything in return.
I think... this'll be a little hard on you...
Yeah. But I'll give it a try!
Is that so?
Say, Naozumi-kun,
I'm very happy that you confessed to me. Thank you.
Sana-chan!
But I think I will only be able to date the one that I truly love.
I'm sorry, Naoumi-kun.
Somehow I was expecting that....
I'm gonna learn from you.
Eh?
As in not asking for anything in return.
Morning! Do your best today!
Ah! It's already this late. Let's go back!
I'm back on track today.
Oh, really?
Mmm. I've taken three days off.
Well, see you later!
Good morning Sensei!
It's Onda. I'm here to get the manuscript!
Excuse me!
Yo! Good work, Onda!
This many!? Sensei!
You worked so hard on this!
I'm so touched!
Please give it to me. Onda-san...
Sensei, this person trusts you. Look he's waiting for you in tears!
Onda, you must protect this manuscript. Seriously?
Yes, thank you very much!
Well, I leave the rest in your hands! Sensei...
Hey, it's a good idea to check up on the contents...
Mmm? What is this?
Look, these are all drawn by Sana-chan!
Sensei is too mean!
Mail!
Sorry Onda, please clean up this mess.
Onda says, "I was naive to have trusted Sensei."
This week's Sana-chan!
I feel like a talented cartoon artist!
Mama.
Let's go for a walk.
W-Walk? But I just came back from one.
Sky walk!
Wow! Really nothing can compare to heights, I feel so good!
If you want to leave, I can take you home right now in this.
How about it?
Eh?
You don't need to force yourself.
No need to lie to yourself and oppose your feelings just for work.
You are only a junior high school student.
Ah!
There's my cabin.
I can also see Rei-kun and Naozumi-kun's cabins too.
Ah! That forest!
We were shooting over there the first day.
Feels like a long time ago.
Ah!
Naozumi-kun is still playing his trumpet!
Oy! Naozumi-kun!
Is that Sana-chan?
Are they in the middle of shooting over there?
That's right. it's Asako-san's scene.
Isn't that Sensei and Sana-chan? Are they headed this way?
They're waving!
Hey! Rei-kun!
Not that! They're telling you not to interrupt the shooting!
Hey! You're interfering! Get away, quick!
Do you want to kill me?
I would sacrifice my life for this movie!
Sorry about that!
They got mad. Everybody's working so hard.
That's right, they spent so much energy.
Ah! I see he mansion!
Oh, is that it? What a marvelous building.
Ah! Sana, what are those people doing over there?
Preparing for tomorrow's shoot.
Everyone put so much into making a great movie.
For the sake of the audience, people are united as a team.
Movie making is a masterpiece of many men's hard work.
A lot of people even spent many months just to work on this.
The mansion that everybody built is going to be burned down tomorrow.
What?
What did you say? You mean there's a scene of you walking out of the fire?
Why didn't you ever mention it to me!?
Mama, it's dangerous! We're in the middle of a flight!
Something seems to be wrong with Sensei's helicopter.
Could it be a breakdown?
Mama! Calm down.
Don't worry, Mama!
There will be plenty of fire trucks,
and there's no fire in my scene.
Everyone is only preparing.
"ubuojiad"...
"daijoubu" (no problem)
Sensei! Sana-chan!
I'm back.
Sana-chan, are you alright? I was worried!
Please don't scare me. I thought you were taking Sana-chan home.
Yes, that was my plan.
Eh?
I'll tell you something.
If something happens to Sana-chan,
I'll let you try sky diving without a parachute!
Eeek!
Are you alright, Sana-chan? We were scared!
Oh, it was nothing, just a little shaking.
But everything's fine now.
That's right. It's not a time to worry and cause everyone trouble.
Now I need to concentrate on completing this movie.
Director!
I'll work, I will give it my best.
That's great! Sana-chan seems to have regained all her energy.
To catch up with the scenes that have been pushed back for me,
I started filming that afternoon.
Feels like a different world, doesn't it?
I wish I can forget about the deadline and keep watching this.
Sensei seems to have a guilty heart.
I think it's about time to go back, right, Onda?
Oh, really Sensei?
Alright, smile, both of you.
I'll take a picture now.
Mama is going back. [Maro-chan Model]
Sana, do your best!
Yes!
Sagami! If anything happens you'll be responsible!
See you Mama!
Good luck with your writing!
Roger, leave it to me!!
Do you think there'll be no problem?
Mama, thank you. I'll work hard.
It has finally come to the last scene.
Re-check the automatic sprinklers
Sprinklers are working fine.
Hello? Hello? Okay, they work.
Listen, Sana-chan. If there's a problem, use this to call for help!
I'll go rescue you within three seconds.
I know, Rei-kun. Don't worry about me, everything will be fine!
Though they say they use flameproof materials there's always a risk.
Sana-chan. It's about time to get started!
Gotcha!
This is it...
Everything has to go as planned. There's no second chance.
Okay!
Stand by here, right?
Listen carefully, Sana-chan.
This is the signal to come out.
When the fire spreads about right, I'll press this.
Right!
There shouldn't be fire or smoke in the hallway...
but the temperature will still go up. Be prepared for that.
No problem! Extinct the fame in one's art to cruel the friar.
Extinct... fame? What's that?
That should be "Extinguish the flame in your heart to cool the fire."
The meaning? Look it up yourself!
Sana-chan is ready on stand by!
Well, I'll get going. Please be careful.
Oh gods and buddhas! Protect Sana-chan! Everyone's ready!
Once the mansion is burned down, there's no chance to recover it.
I definitely can't fail this.
Okay, c'mon!
Scene 92. Everyone, be serious and careful.
Start!
Sana-chan! Do your best!
Alright, Signal!
She's not coming out...
Try again!
Sana-chan!
Again!
Yes sir!
What's wrong? Hurry up and come out!
Sana-chan!
It's fine, It's totally fine.

(Mm? Could you be fairly dumb?)
and then later comes the whimpering
Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry
(Ahh...) (It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.)
Really that's ridiculous...
It's all "waaa" over here,
and the whole earth is spinning the wrong way.
So at this point now, yeah at this point now,
