Meiko , why did you come back Na-chan’s words crushed all of Meiko’s hopes Na-chan , have you really come to hate Meiko so much
Marmalade Boy COUPLE ON THE BEACH BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT YOU
Na-chan is going out with Miss Ryouko
I still miss him so much
I wanna talk to him now matter what he says to me
Meiko
Okay, let’s go to Hiroshima
And I’ll go with you , how does that sound
I’ll go with you and I’ll arrange for you two to meet
Really
You can always count on me, Meiko
Sure it’s scary but you’ll be fine with me along
So let’s do it, what do you say
Meiko’s emotionally unstable right now
So I have to be strong
Marmalade Boy
TO HIROSHIMA
LET ME BE BY YOUR SIDE AGAIN!
Yeah.
I’m coming in
So, are you all ready to go
Yeah, Meiko said she’s ready, too
She called earlier
Oh, I see
Yuu
Anything wrong
Why
You were spacing out
I was expecting “good luck ” maybe, or at least some sort of encouraging word from you before I leave
Oh, sorry
It was just that I was thinking about Satoshi
That’s all
I see, that makes sense
So, you’re going no matter what
Yes
But you know very well, that he’s in relationship with Miss Ryouko
So, come on, there’s no use in going
I know that
Listen, what could you possibly expect to get from a guy moved on so quickly and dumped you so easily like that
Stop it, right now
You know I’m not stupid enough to think this is going to be a happy ending right away
I can’t hope to expect that
I guess there’s nothing I can possibly say to change your mind then
I’m really sorry
Don't apologize
If you apologize I’ll just feel miserable
Juice, snacks
Meiko’s been really quiet since this morning
Her face sure does look tense and sad
But somehow she looks more beautiful than ever
Meiko is really cool
It’s so amazing that she wrote a novel
I really do admire her
So, Suzu , does that mean that you’re a fan of her then
Yeah, a big fan
I may think going to see her tomorrow
That might be a bit difficult you know, since Meiko is in Hiroshima with Miki
Hiroshima
You mean she’s going to see Mr. Namura
You know about Mr. Namura
Satoshi told me
He said that “I have the biggest and worst rival ever ”
He actually said that ?
Yes, and then he had me take a good look at Mr. Namura’s picture so I could check out his face
What for
You see, Satoshi and Meiko look good together , but a higher score went to Mr. Namura
a higher score
Mr. Namura isn’t all that handsome , but he seems very mature and he’s perfect for Meiko
See
What do you mean he’s perfect
I can’t believe that you don't support Satoshi , I mean he’s your own cousin
That doesn’t matter, you see, I value my sense of beauty more than my love for family
Huh, really
For Meiko to go all the way to Hiroshima , she must really be in love with Mr. Namura
They’ve just gotta get back together somehow
I hope things work out , don't you
Yeah
Hiroshima
Hiroshima
Hello, is this Na-chan
Miki , is that you
Yeah, and I’m at Hiroshima Station right now, and Meiko’s with me
What?
Please Na-chan , you need to go to Itsukushima Temple at 2:00 and talk to her , listen to what she has to say , won’t you please give her that chance
Wait, but
No buts, Na-chan , you’ve gotta be there , I’m trusting you
Miss, there’s a call for you from your publisher
Miss Meiko , are you here
Meiko , really
Yes
I’ll be back soon , please don't worry
I was just terribly worried about Miss Meiko’s whereabouts
Her mother and father are out of town now and I haven’t been able to reach them since last night , I just didn’t know what to do or who I can turn to
Don't worry, I understand
Leave everything to me , it’d be all right
Thank you so much
I’ll ask my students about it, I’m sure they will know something , so please don't worry yourself too much
Thank you, I’ll try
Yes
Satoshi
It’s Miss Ryouko
Miss Ryouko
Listen , Meiko has disappeared , if you know where she went , please tell me
Did she go to Hiroshima
It is Hiroshima , isn’t it
I’m going over there right away
Wait, please don't go
Na-chan
Miki , hi
Na-chan
Long time no see
You’re looking very well
Thanks you too
So tell me, has your tennis game improved ?
Top shape
I sure wish you could see my magnificent net play now
I see
I’m glad you decided to come Na-chan , honestly I was just so afraid that you might refuse to see us and not show up at all
Meiko is over by the front gate waiting for you
Please , you’ve gotta go see her
Mr. Namura
This is it
Satoshi
I’m begging you, please don't go , Miss Ryouko
Satoshi , please let go
Look, you have to try to understand, or at least have respect for her courage in going to see Mr. Namura
Look, his girlfriend is the last thing that Meiko needs to deal with right now
I’m going
And don't worry, I have no intention of interfering with them
I’m sure her family would be supportive
You don't need to get involved anymore , I’m just doing what needs to be done
Miss Ryouko
I wonder what will happen to them
Where’s Na-chan
He just left
I asked him to take me with him, but he refused
I told him to please wait for me , but , he wouldn’t even look at me
This message comes all the way from Hiroshima , from Mr. Shinichi Namura
Congratulations
I’ve been thinking about this for a very long time
What
I’m going to Hiroshima
What ? to Hiroshima
You are going to see Na-chan
Meiko loves Na-chan so much
I wish her the best
No, cause Mr. Namura is, is involved with Miss Ryouko now
It must’ve been hard on Meiko
Even I was shocked
I believed that he loved her, and he had broke up with her for her own good
But he found someone else so quickly
This is too cruel for Meiko
Please Na-chan , return her feelings , say that you will try again
I’m sure they are going to be okay right
Cold, and not cute
I think I saw deer food earlier I guess I should go buy some
“tropical fish ” is an amazing book, Meiko , you should be proud of yourself
Thank you very much
Do you remember the character named Takasugi , the protagonist’s lover, he’s modeled after you
What
I really didn’t plan for him to be, but somehow he just turned into you
In the end he became the most memorable character and the protagonist, well she’s caught between her past and present relationships, I guess she has a lot of me in her too, but I promise you that that wasn’t intentional either
I bet you really never thought he was you, did you
No
He’s not really like you , I mean he’s completely different from your usual self
He was created based on very special memories of you , special memories that only I would know
Meiko
I can honestly say that I didn’t think I’d end up going on this trip with you
I came so I can keep an eye on you
On me
I’m gonna make sure that you don’t hurt Meiko in any way
I suppose Meiko must really be happy right about now
I wonder how Meiko’s doing
I had no idea that writing a novel would turn out to be so much fun
I still remember how happy I was to see the vague ideas inside me started to take form
And I would never forget the amazing thrill I got when it was finished , it was just too fantastic
So I’m definitely going to continue to try and write more novels
If at all possible , I would really like to explore a career as an author
And I know I will if I can just continue writing like this
Of course I know that the path won’t magically be easier for me just because I won an award
You can, Meiko , I know you can
I want to keep writing , and I want to be able to do it by your side
Meiko ,that’s just not possible
Oh, please
You know Ryouko and I
I know, but you have gotta let me say this , that day when we parted at Tokyo Station , I wasn’t able to say this to you
But finally , now after all this time , I can tell you
That day, you told me to find my own way so I found it
I am a writer who can write anywhere , I don't have to go to some fancy college or be stuck doing a miserable job, I mean being a writer I can still be by your side and also be able to do what I really want to do , don't you see that
Meiko
You said that you could barely take care of yourself , not along being able to take care of me as well , you told me that this was the reason you had to leave me behind
But don't you see now, I won’t get in the way , I won’t be a burden to you anymore , you won’t have to worry about me , I know all about your relationship with Ryouko , but I don't care, I just need you to give me one more chance , Mr. Namura please , let me be with you again
No
Don't make it sound convenient for me
I don't want you to be tie down so young , I want you to be able to grow freely
Can’t you understand
It’s best for you to be apart from me
No, it’s best for both of us
But , I , I love you and I can’t stop loving you , can’t you see that
I love you
I understand
I won’t come to see you again
Goodbye
Meiko , why did you come back
Na-chan’s words crushed all of Meiko’s hopes
Na-chan , have you really come to hate Meiko so much
