Meiko, I don’t understand Yuu, He’s put up these walls around himself, I mean won’t let me see the person inside. Miki. The truth is, I really want him to tell me everything. Come in. Excuse me, sorry to bother you, I thought you’d like to know there was a call for you from Izu. Izu? Was it Nishida? Yes, as a matter of fact, it was, everyone says “Hi”, and they all seemed very anxious to know when you’d be coming to visit them again. They’re so nice, and now that you mention it, I haven’t been there yet this year. You know, Miki’s been down a little bit lately, maybe I should ask her if she’d like to come along too? That’s a wonderful idea, Meiko. Everyone just relaxing and having fun down on the beach, that’s bound to cheer anybody up, wouldn’t you see? Yeah, sounds great.
Marmalade Boy SHOCKING CONFESSION YUU, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
Oh, great, look, who showed up. Yeah, they’re gonna ruin our vacation. Well, I only came along because Satoshi asked me to. Yeah, you see the beach can be a very dangerous place in the summer time Right. You’re probably going to need someone strong around to keep you safe and protect you from all those naughty boys. I can take care of myself. Hey, you guys, what about me? Doesn’t anyone care about me? Well, I guess not. Don't worry, Miki, I’ll make certain you are well protected. All right, you do that, Mr. Macho man. What’d you say? I’m just kidding, settle down. I’m tired of you always making fun of me, why do you tease me so much, can’t we ever do anything without you getting on my nerves. I really wish you’d knock it off, it's not funny. Yuu is joking around as usual. But I can’t be like before. I just can’t act the same as I used to anymore. Look, it doesn’t matter, this really doesn’t concern you, okay? The thing is, that I can’t casually approach him like before. I’m afraid he’ll shut me out like that again. It’s, It’s huge. Meiko. You’re here. You look great as always. I’m sorry, did I make you worry? Well, yes, but to be honest, I’m quite relieved to see that everything is okay. Hey. You two, Did you forget we have guests? Why don’t we show everyone to the house? Oh, I’m so sorry, how rude, thank you everyone for coming all this way to visit us. It’s really nice to meet you. Thanks a lot for having us. Look at the view, we’re right next to the ocean.

Could I get an orange juice, please? You sure are cute. Well, what I meant was if you’re not doing anything special right now, you wanna come and hang out with me and my friends? It looks like we’re about one girl short. I think that sounds fine, what are they doing? Well, I think they might still be in the water. Wait a minute. What? What’s wrong? You know, you’ve been totally avoiding me lately haven’t you? I don't think that I have. Look I really apologized to you for what I said, didn’t I? Why are you still acting like you’re upset? I’m not mad at you anymore. Let go of me. Yuu. Arimi. Hey, what are you doing here? What a coincidence, I came here today with some friends, then I met this guy named Satoshi and he asked me if I wanted to hang out with him and his friends. Arimi. As it turns out, he’s your friend, do you have any idea how surprised I am to see you here. What? Yuu. What’s up, do you two guys know each other or something? Yeah, you could say that. Yuu and I, we know each other well, right? Miki. Hey, Yuu. Listen, I know a good place where we can see a beautiful sunset, well, later just you and me, No Don't you want to, huh? Yuu. I see, so it’s that kind of a friendship. Matsuura. Get away from Arimi Not him again. What the heck? I come all the way to Izu, and the first person I run into was you? Exactly what I was thinking. Get away from her. Get out of here, nobody cares what you have to say. Ah-chan. Tsutomu And Arimi You okay, Arimi? What happened? Everything’s okay now. I’ll see you later. okay Hey, Arimi, Wait for me. Hey, Rokutanda. What do you think you’re doing chasing Ah-chan again. Didn’t we already tell you, you were not a good enough match for her? You better leave her alone. Give up already, will you? Darn it. Who are those three guys? And what in the world are they so upset about? They are Arimi’s fan club. Her fan club? Yeah. The tall one is Murai, the curly hair and glasses is Imai The pop idol is Tomishige They are all seniors, and by far the three most popular guys with girls in our school, The three most popular? wow But they chose not to have girlfriends and follow Arimi around instead. They call themselves Arimi’s fan club. I worried that one day one of them will end up dating her. And as if that isn’t bad enough, to make matters worse than they already are, you had to show up. I have no choice, Not again Huh? I can’t put this off any longer, I demand you fight me like real man, right now. I told you so. This guy never learns. What’d you say? Calm down, will you Let’s do something fun instead. Just what did you have in mind? Well, a bravery contest? bravery contest? And I know exactly where we can have it. How could I ever beat them in a bravery contest? Rokutanda. Listen to me, this could finally be your one-beat chance to be alone with Arimi, Ha.You’re right. But can you really get Arimi and the others to agree to play? No problem, just leave everything to me. See you. You think we can trust him? I wouldn’t worry, when it comes to the intricate art of negotiating, he’s the best. Oh, boy, I’m not so good at doing scary stuff. All right. First, you’ll all need to walk down by the shore, after that, you’ll have to walk through the cemetery. Cemetery, how predictable. Yeah, but the cemetery is nothing if you compare to what comes next. What comes next? After the cemetery, you’ll have to go down a narrow path, keep going until you come to an old abandoned house. Earlier, I left a seashell in the living room of that house, so stay there until you find it, then come back. Is that all? Get a seashell? Yeah, that’s all you have to do. But also, according to Mr. Nishida, well, thingsmysteriously appear at night. What kinds of things? Ghost, naturally We might see a ghost? I think it’ll be fun. Yeah, me too. Okay, maybe I should go with Ah-chan then Hey. Hands off. Sorry, we’re gonna draw some cards That’s fair, let’s do it. Now, everybody gets to pick a card. I’m such a good cheater. Wait, does it have to be this way? Oh, My Ah-chan. One pair leaves every 10 minutes The lowest number goes first. What? We’re the first ones? We’ll just do it. Ready? Ready! You know Ginta, it has been quite a while since I walked alone with you like this. Yeah, it has. Sorry, it was me instead of being paired with Matsuura. Oh. That’s okay. You don't have to pretend. No, I’m serious, it’s okay now But what about this afternoon? Oh. It’s just that when I saw them standing there talking so seriously it made me want to go over and stir things up a little. What? I guess the truth is I’m actually planning to give up on him. You know, I did everything I could to make him want me, so I guess there’s nothing more I can do now, but just give up. Yuu. I love you, I can’t forget about you. Please do something Yuu Here you go, Oh, thanks. Oh, Yuu. Don’t you worry, it’s gonna be fine. I guess maybe the love affair that we had faded away just and just died after the first kiss. But will you ever forget him? I don't think I’ll ever be able to completely forget him. But I’m going to have to try my best. Right? Oh, Arimi. I wish you and Miki the best of luck. She’s a nice girl. Unlike myself, I guess you two still have a chance. I’m not so sure about that. I was told Matsuura would be coming with her so I kind of invited myself here, but every day I feel my chances are getting slimmer, Oh, Ginta. Oh, no, we’re almost done. I really wanted to spend a little more time with you tonight. Satoshi, I was quite impressive with you earlier, Why’s that? You are very good at organizing things, not to mention your skill for card tricks. What am I doing? It’s so quite around here at night. I never should’ve signed up for this. What are you scared of, chicken? I guess you’re still mad of me, aren’t you? No, I’m not. No? Then why do you insist on avoiding me? I’m not avoiding you, I’m not acting any different than usual. Aren’t you being overly sensitive? I wander if that was too harsh. I understand. Yuu, wait. I’m sorry, please don't be mad. It’s just because you made me really sad and worried when you said that didn’t concern me. I thought I’d rather just stay away from you, that has to be better than to hear something like that again. Why do you insist on hiding yourself behind these walls? And why didn’t you tell me anything about Satoshi, or about your dream of becoming an architect someday. I mean, I want you to open up and tell me everything. I’m sorry, I could tell how much you worried about me, but, I guess I never wanted to explain to you what was bothering me. Yuu. I had decided that I was gonna keep it a secret from you I would never tell you because I knew you’d be even more worried but, I never wanted you to avoid being near me because of my secrecy. Never. So, I’ll, I’ll tell you everything. Yuu. I … I’m not Youji Matsuura’s son. The child that my mother had with an old boyfriend is me. What are you saying, Yuu? I’m saying that my real father’s name is, it’s Yoshimitsu Miwa.
A shocking confession from Yuu Yoshimitsu Miwa is his father? So Yuu and Satoshi are brothers? I had no idea he had such a big secret. It must’ve been so hard to keep it inside. But I know how kind and thoughtful you really are,
Marmalade Boy THE SECRET OF HIS BIRTH I CAN’T LEAVE YUU ALONE!
He’s put up these walls around himself, I mean won’t let me see the person inside.
Miki.
The truth is, I really want him to tell me everything.
Come in.
Excuse me, sorry to bother you, I thought you’d like to know there was a call for you from Izu.
Izu? Was it Nishida?
Yes, as a matter of fact, it was, everyone says “Hi”, and they all seemed very anxious to know when you’d be coming to visit them again.
They’re so nice, and now that you mention it, I haven’t been there yet this year.
You know, Miki’s been down a little bit lately, maybe I should ask her if she’d like to come along too?
That’s a wonderful idea, Meiko. Everyone just relaxing and having fun down on the beach, that’s bound to cheer anybody up, wouldn’t you see?
Yeah, sounds great.

SHOCKING CONFESSION
YUU, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
Oh, great, look, who showed up.
Yeah, they’re gonna ruin our vacation.
Well, I only came along because Satoshi asked me to.
Yeah, you see the beach can be a very dangerous place in the summer time
Right.
You’re probably going to need someone strong around to keep you safe and protect you from all those naughty boys.
I can take care of myself.
Hey, you guys, what about me?
Doesn’t anyone care about me?
Well, I guess not.
Don't worry, Miki, I’ll make certain you are well protected.
All right, you do that, Mr. Macho man.
What’d you say?
I’m just kidding, settle down.
I’m tired of you always making fun of me, why do you tease me so much, can’t we ever do anything without you getting on my nerves.
I really wish you’d knock it off, it's not funny.
Yuu is joking around as usual.
But I can’t be like before.
I just can’t act the same as I used to anymore.
Look, it doesn’t matter, this really doesn’t concern you, okay?
The thing is, that I can’t casually approach him like before.
I’m afraid he’ll shut me out like that again.
It’s, It’s huge.
Meiko. You’re here.
You look great as always.
I’m sorry, did I make you worry?
Well, yes, but to be honest, I’m quite relieved to see that everything is okay.
Hey. You two, Did you forget we have guests?
Why don’t we show everyone to the house?
Oh, I’m so sorry, how rude, thank you everyone for coming all this way to visit us.
It’s really nice to meet you.
Thanks a lot for having us.
Look at the view, we’re right next to the ocean.

They are very special to me, they treat me just like their own granddaughter.
Really?
Miki.
Hey. Hurry up, will you?
Coming.
Ready? Everyone say cheese.
cheese
That’s great.
Oops, I think I blinked.
Okay, then let me take one.
Thanks, Yuu.

Yuu.
You know this really doesn’t concern you at all.
Miki.
Never mind.
Okay, here we go.
Yummy.
That was so funny, wasn’t it?
Hey, wait.
Good spike, Ginta.
This feels so good.
Really, it was so nice of you to invite us here, Meiko
Meiko? Huh? Meiko.
When did she leave?
Hey.
Yuu.
The ocean’s great, isn’t it?
It’s so relaxing.
Yeah, sometimes.
You want me to push your raft far out offshore?
No, thanks,
I think I need something to drink.
I think I’m gonna go back.
Miki. Hey, wait for me.
Hey, I’ll take two pineapple juices.
Could I get an orange juice, please?
You sure are cute.
Well, what I meant was if you’re not doing anything special right now, you wanna come and hang out with me and my friends? It looks like we’re about one girl short.
I think that sounds fine, what are they doing?
Well, I think they might still be in the water.
Wait a minute.
What? What’s wrong?
You know, you’ve been totally avoiding me lately haven’t you?
I don't think that I have.
Look I really apologized to you for what I said, didn’t I?
Why are you still acting like you’re upset?
I’m not mad at you anymore.
Let go of me.
Yuu.
Arimi.
Hey, what are you doing here?
What a coincidence, I came here today with some friends, then I met this guy named Satoshi and he asked me if I wanted to hang out with him and his friends.
Arimi.
As it turns out, he’s your friend, do you have any idea how surprised I am to see you here.
What?
Yuu. What’s up, do you two guys know each other or something?
Yeah, you could say that.
Yuu and I, we know each other well, right? Miki.
Hey, Yuu. Listen, I know a good place where we can see a beautiful sunset, well, later just you and me,
No
Don't you want to, huh?
Yuu.
I see, so it’s that kind of a friendship.
Matsuura. Get away from Arimi
Not him again.
What the heck?
I come all the way to Izu, and the first person I run into was you?
Exactly what I was thinking.
Get away from her.
Get out of here, nobody cares what you have to say.
Ah-chan.
Tsutomu
And Arimi
You okay, Arimi?
What happened?
Everything’s okay now.
I’ll see you later. okay
Hey, Arimi, Wait for me.
Hey, Rokutanda. What do you think you’re doing chasing Ah-chan again.
Didn’t we already tell you, you were not a good enough match for her?
You better leave her alone.
Give up already, will you?
Darn it.
Who are those three guys?
And what in the world are they so upset about?
They are Arimi’s fan club.
Her fan club?
Yeah. The tall one is Murai, the curly hair and glasses is Imai
The pop idol is Tomishige
They are all seniors, and by far the three most popular guys with girls in our school,
The three most popular? wow
But they chose not to have girlfriends and follow Arimi around instead.
They call themselves Arimi’s fan club.
I worried that one day one of them will end up dating her.
And as if that isn’t bad enough, to make matters worse than they already are, you had to show up.
I have no choice,
Not again
Huh?
I can’t put this off any longer, I demand you fight me like real man, right now.
I told you so.
This guy never learns.
What’d you say?
Calm down, will you
Let’s do something fun instead.
Just what did you have in mind?
Well, a bravery contest?
bravery contest?
And I know exactly where we can have it.
How could I ever beat them in a bravery contest?
Rokutanda. Listen to me, this could finally be your one-beat chance to be alone with Arimi,
Ha.You’re right.
But can you really get Arimi and the others to agree to play?
No problem, just leave everything to me.
See you.
You think we can trust him?
I wouldn’t worry, when it comes to the intricate art of negotiating, he’s the best.
Oh, boy, I’m not so good at doing scary stuff.
All right. First, you’ll all need to walk down by the shore, after that, you’ll have to walk through the cemetery.
Cemetery, how predictable.
Yeah, but the cemetery is nothing if you compare to what comes next.
What comes next?
After the cemetery, you’ll have to go down a narrow path, keep going until you come to an old abandoned house.
Earlier, I left a seashell in the living room of that house, so stay there until you find it, then come back.
Is that all? Get a seashell?
Yeah, that’s all you have to do.
But also, according to Mr. Nishida, well, thingsmysteriously appear at night.
What kinds of things?
Ghost, naturally
We might see a ghost?
I think it’ll be fun.
Yeah, me too.
Okay, maybe I should go with Ah-chan then
Hey. Hands off.
Sorry, we’re gonna draw some cards
That’s fair, let’s do it.
Now, everybody gets to pick a card.
I’m such a good cheater.
Wait, does it have to be this way?
Oh, My Ah-chan.
One pair leaves every 10 minutes
The lowest number goes first.
What?
We’re the first ones?
We’ll just do it.
Ready?
Ready!
You know Ginta, it has been quite a while since I walked alone with you like this.
Yeah, it has.
Sorry, it was me instead of being paired with Matsuura.
Oh. That’s okay.
You don't have to pretend.
No, I’m serious, it’s okay now
But what about this afternoon?
Oh. It’s just that when I saw them standing there talking so seriously it made me want to go over and stir things up a little.
What?
I guess the truth is I’m actually planning to give up on him.
You know, I did everything I could to make him want me, so I guess there’s nothing more I can do now, but just give up.
Yuu. I love you, I can’t forget about you.
Please do something Yuu
Here you go,
Oh, thanks.
Oh, Yuu.
Don’t you worry, it’s gonna be fine.
I guess maybe the love affair that we had faded away just and just died after the first kiss.
But will you ever forget him?
I don't think I’ll ever be able to completely forget him. But I’m going to have to try my best. Right?
Oh, Arimi.
I wish you and Miki the best of luck.
She’s a nice girl.
Unlike myself, I guess you two still have a chance.
I’m not so sure about that.
I was told Matsuura would be coming with her so I kind of invited myself here, but every day I feel my chances are getting slimmer,
Oh, Ginta.
Oh, no, we’re almost done.
I really wanted to spend a little more time with you tonight.
Satoshi, I was quite impressive with you earlier,
Why’s that?
You are very good at organizing things, not to mention your skill for card tricks.
What am I doing?
It’s so quite around here at night.
I never should’ve signed up for this.
What are you scared of, chicken?
I guess you’re still mad of me, aren’t you?
No, I’m not.
No? Then why do you insist on avoiding me?
I’m not avoiding you, I’m not acting any different than usual.
Aren’t you being overly sensitive?
I wander if that was too harsh.
I understand.
Yuu, wait.
I’m sorry, please don't be mad.
It’s just because you made me really sad and worried when you said that didn’t concern me.
I thought I’d rather just stay away from you, that has to be better than to hear something like that again.
Why do you insist on hiding yourself behind these walls?
And why didn’t you tell me anything about Satoshi, or about your dream of becoming an architect someday. I mean, I want you to open up and tell me everything.
I’m sorry, I could tell how much you worried about me, but, I guess I never wanted to explain to you what was bothering me.
Yuu.
I had decided that I was gonna keep it a secret from you I would never tell you because I knew you’d be even more worried but, I never wanted you to avoid being near me because of my secrecy. Never.
So, I’ll, I’ll tell you everything.
Yuu.
I … I’m not Youji Matsuura’s son.
The child that my mother had with an old boyfriend is me.
What are you saying, Yuu?
I’m saying that my real father’s name is, it’s Yoshimitsu Miwa.
A shocking confession from Yuu
Yoshimitsu Miwa is his father?
So Yuu and Satoshi are brothers?
I had no idea he had such a big secret.
It must’ve been so hard to keep it inside.
But I know how kind and thoughtful you really are,
