"Namiuchigiwa Highschool"

"Handicrafts Club"

With our exams done, all that's left is waiting for summer vacation.

Don't talk about the exams.

I lost points on all the questions I guessed. My history grade was ruined!

Yoshiko, make sure to assign tasks for the fair in September before we go on vacation.

Me? Not the club president?

Causing all that trouble must keep him up late.

He told me he's been staying up all night studying for the exams.

Is that so? He was with Akira and the others until late last night.

Eguchi!

Let's go home!

This concludes the club activities for the day.

Guess I'll head home.

Yeah, let's go.

Hey, what are your plans? I'll take you home if you want.

No thanks, your bike has been really loud lately.

That's because a screw fell out of the muffler.

No way! It's because the base of the exhaust pipe rusted and fell off.

Well, we're going on ahead. See you tomorrow, Tsuyama.

Bye-bye~!

Later!

Hurry up, Akira!

The Handicrafts Club seems busy, huh?

Yeah, since we have a fair showing off our work in September.

Well then, wanna cruise around on the way home?

Before that, anyone wanna eat?

Oh, that's a good idea.

You can say that, but we're still as poor as ever.

I could barely even afford gas today.

Kinda sad, isn't it...?

What's up?

Your stomach hurt or somethin'?

Wait.

Why do I have this much money with me?

T-Ten thousand yen!

W-Wait a second!

What was this money for again?

Alright! Our golden goose laid an egg!

Eguchi! Eguchi!

Eguchi! Eguchi!

I'm tellin' ya, wait a second! Why am I so loaded?

Eguchi! Eguchi! Eguchi! Eguchi!

Eguchi! Eguchi! Eguchi! Eguchi!

Eguchi! Eguchi! Eguchi! Eguchi!

Eguchi! Eguchi! Eguchi! Eguchi!

Eguchi! Eguchi! Eguchi! Eguchi!

Eguchi! Eguchi! Eguchi! Eguchi!

Eguchi! Eguchi! Eguchi! Eguchi!

Eguchi! Eguchi! Eguchi! Eguchi!

Full tank! Full tank! Full tank! Full tank! Full tank!

Full tank! Full tank! Full tank! Full tank! Full tank!

Full tank! Full tank! Full tank! Full tank! Full tank!

Full tank! Full tank! Full tank! Full tank! Full tank!

Full tank! Full tank! Full tank! Full tank! Full tank!

I never decide where I'm going,

Harasawa, knock it off! I can't see shit!

because I always lose my way,

when I'm flying through corners in the summer.

I get a pain in my heart,

whenever I run into you.

And my heart begins to overheat.

I just had to look at you yesterday.

So, please, please, tell me,

where my sweet dream is.

My heart is calling out to the blue sky.

So, please, please, help me search,

for that young girl's smile.

Decided to show up eh, Momoyama?!

Hold me close, summer shine.

So, please, please, tell me,

You're not getting away today, Eguchi!

where my sweet dream is.

My heart is calling out to the blue sky.

Eguchi! I'll see you in Hell!

Hey, Maru! Make him rear-end you!

So, please, please, help me search,

And then what?!

for that young girl's smile.

No way! You're all gonna run away, aren't you?!

Hold me close, summer shine.

Eguchi, we'd better split up here!

Alright, we'll meet up at Gentle-men later! Scatter!

Right!

What? You're starting a biker gang?

Yeah!

We're going to be fast and amazing like the Bombers!

You guys are still middle-schoolers, right?

Yes, Kinen Middle School!

Kinen, huh? I'm pretty sure Sakurai and Harasawa went there, too.

Really?!

Sakurai and Harasawa went there?!

Well, they'll all be here soon, so sit tight.

Thank you very much!

- Th-They're here! - Th-They're here!

Speak of the devil. That's a GT380, isn't it?

That refined 380... it must be Sakurai.

'Sup?

'Sup, Sakurai?

Whaddaya punks want?!

They say they're your underclassmen.

From Kinen Middle School.

They said they want to start a gang.

It'll be a bicycle gang for a while, though!

So, they say they want some Bomber stickers.

Our stickers?

Yes! We want them as good-luck charms for our gang!

We thought we'd introduce ourselves and make connections...

If we ride with your stickers,

we'd be invincible, since everyone would know that we have the Bombers backing us.

Don't talk like you know how this works!

- S-Sorry... - S-Sorry...

You can't turn down a request from your cute underclassmen, can you?

I guess not...

I'll pass it on to Eguchi.

Thank you very much!

Oh, sounds like Ishikawa's here.

That Ishikawa, also known as The Bullet Brat, and leader of the Elite Guard Unit?

'Sup.

'SUP!

Who the hell are you?!

They're my underclassmen from Kinen Middle. Don't be so hard on them.

Do you think Eguchi's gonna be okay?

Momoyama hardly pays any attention to the rest of us.

He's only after Eguchi.

Who could it be this time?

Maybe it's Eguchi?

That's a KH. You never heard the sound of a Kawasaki KH before?

A KH with a rocket cowl...

It's Marukawa of the Special Forces, also known as "The Dancing Brawler!"

Yo, peace.

'SUP!

Whaddaya kids want?!

They're my underclassmen. They're waiting for Eguchi to get here.

Don't pick on them. They say they want our stickers.

Is that so?

Looks like there are lots of handsome fellas after our stickers, eh?

Whose bike sounds like that?

Ah... who was it again?

Sakurai, that was pretty harsh to ditch me like that.

W-Who is that?

That's Harasawa.

'Sup!

M-Might you be Harasawa, also known as "Arms Like Surging Waves?"

What's with these punks?

They're your underclassmen.

They say they want our stickers, so don't be too hard on them.

Just make sure you don't take advantage of our fame.

Y-Yes, sir!

His words have impact, don't they?

But thank goodness!

Yeah! The Bombers are full of good people.

Y-Yeah...

It's Handicrafts Eggy!

Hey.

You made it!

That bastard Momoyama is like a snapping turtle.

Once he clamps on, he doesn't let go.

How did you manage to shake said turtle?

"The Silent-Fart-Lime-Dust Operation."

"Silent-Fart-Lime-Dust Operation?"

Eguchi, just hand yourself in!

I don't wanna!

Watch this!

Let me introduce you to my new model, the Hurricane Bomber Eguchi Special!

Now's my chance!

Hey! What are you, a monster?!

Eguchi! I won't forget this!

What's with these guys?

They say they want our stickers.

As good-luck charms for their bicycle gang.

They're Sakurai and my underclassmen, so treat them well.

Please!

Sure thing.

But I expect you to return them as soon your team's name can stand on its own.

- Y-Yes, sir! - Y-Yes, sir!

Th-That's a relief, right?

Yeah, wh-what a relief.

Hey, I still have this much left!

Char siu​! Char siu​! Char siu​!

Shige, five char siu​! You guys wanna eat, too?

Yes, please!

Shige, two more!

Got it! How generous! Nice one, Eguchi!

The Bombers really are amazing, huh?

I mean, look how good they're eating!

Ah! There he is!

Eguchi.

Whadda you want?!

This isn't a place for girls to eat!

Who are these kids?

They're Sakurai and Harasawa's underclassmen. Nothing to do with me.

Why, you! That's Eguchi's girlfriend!

Oh, Harasawa, why you!

Anyway, what's up, Tsuyama?

Ah, I forgot to give you the list earlier.

For the shopping I asked you to do.

Shopping?

I gave you 10,000 yen, didn't I?

Eguchi!

Wait, Eguchi, you didn't...

I am deeply and terribly sorry.

I accidentally spent every last yen of the 10,000 meant for the Handicraft Club's fair.

"Accidentally spent?!"

Yes. As a group.

Delicious!

Have you ever heard of somebody just spending money that somebody entrusted to them?!

Aw, shucks, ah really biffed it up 'dis time!

Don't speak gibberish! What are you going to do about the 10,000 yen?!

The lone man, Eguchi Yousuke, does not run or hide.

Go ahead, punish me to any extent you deem apropos! Oh, as you please!

How are you gonna pay it back?!

Tami, don't get worked up, alright?

You're in on this too, so cram it!

Alright, quit your whining! Two 5,000 yen bills for a total of 10,000!

You'll have it all in full by tomorrow!

And what if you can't?

If that time comes, I'll shave my head and apologize.

Then it's a promise.

Yoshiko, we're leaving.

What are you gonna do?

Fake a lotto ticket or extort somebody or something?

But 10,000 yen is a lot of money... right?

It was pretty easy to spend, though.

How much do you guys have in savings?

Ah, I just remembered that my stomach hurts really badly!

That's your head, you know...

I don't know how much longer I can hold it in.

Truth is, me neither.

Huh, what a coincidence.

Turns out, me neither...

Where do you think you're going?!

Hey!

Don't act like you're not involved with this!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

You guys!

You okay having a bald leader?!

I'll be BALD!

His image has...

This has to be a dream...

Damn it. Isn't this just great...

It's only 10,000 yen, I'll sort something out myself.

Old man, I've brought ya a mountain of treasure.

Oh? Manga volumes? You've collected a lot, eh?

This is my pride and joy.

It's taking as much courage to sell these as it would to sing karaoke from Kiyomizu Temple.

100 yen.

Hey, kid!

You want a beer bottlecap? It's one for 100 yen, whaddaya say?

Leave me alone! I've got cram school!

This is bad...

Bald.

You stupid bastard!

If I end up having to shave my head,

why, I'll... I'll...

I'll go delinquent!

So please loan me some money, Big bro!

If it's for a wig, then sure!

Let's take this outside, dipshit!

Fine by me!

I'd be happy to gift ya some kicked in teeth instead!

Tamiko, have you seen Eguchi?

He seemed really eager to go to the budget meeting today.

I have to practice more on the bar, so I was going to ask you to go for me...

Is he really that carefree?

"Student Council Room" "Meeting in progress"

"Judo Club"

"Baseball Club"

"Music Club"

"Eguchi Yousuke, 25th president of the Handicrafts Club"

Hey, let's get this over with!

Eguchi, what a rare sight...

I assume Tsuyama isn't coming today?

Eh, you don't gotta single me out.

O-Okay... w-well then...

I'd like for each of you to submit your club's midterm financial status report,

and to submit a concrete budget plan for the second term.

"Judo Club"

W-Would it be alright for the Judo Club to get five or so new tatami mats?

Tatami?!

You bastards have mountains of the things, don't you?!

"Karate Club"

Ah, um... the Karate Club—

What about it?! Jus' spit it out already!

E-Eguchi, please don't disrupt the meeting.

Is there something you'd like to say?

Alright!

Did you know we're having a fair displaying our work at the start of the next term?

I-I've heard of it.

I wish to receive 10,000 yen in assistance to cover the operational fees!

B-But even if you say that...

We have to think of the other clubs.

You're gonna try ta weasel outta this without payin'?!

If my youth is ruined because of you, are you gonna get it back for me?!

Let's not get violent!

Eguchi, stop it!

T-Tsuyama...

And after Yoshiko took all that money out of her savings!

I have no excuse to give and deeply regret my actions.

"Bald baby Eguchi"

I have become completely bald! Forgive me!

See? It's simple, isn't it?

You really are good at this! Do it one more time!

You were assigned extra kick-up practice, you know?

But I could never do something that difficult.

No way! If you don't practice this, you'll end up with a '3' in P.E.

That's okay. If I get a '3' in P.E., it'll be the same as Eguchi.

Anyway, do you think you've got the hang of it now?

I have work today, so I'm heading home.

Hey, won't you do it one more time?

No can do! Later!

Whatever, you idiot! I didn't need your help anyway!

You're becoming more and more like Eguchi, y'know?

Anyway, keep at it! Getting a '3' would be embarrassing!

Excuse me, Harasawa.

What was the ratio of cement again?

I said it earlier, part-timer!

One part water, six parts sand, three parts cement!

Yoshimi!

Someone from the government needs to speak with you.

What am I supposed to do without my dad here?

Damn it, Dad! Going golfing and leaving me to work. I should be having fun after school!

Yoshimi, your dad's here.

"Take care of the rest for me, Yoshimi!" Take care of the rest for me, Yoshimi!

Damn it! Give me back my youth!

Now, now, Yoshimi. Summer's just getting started.

Eguchi!

Sorry about earlier.

I'll definitely pay you back that 10,000 yen.

You don't have to push yourself.

Hey, what's up, Tsuyama? Extra iron-bar practice?

Yeah. You too, right?

I heard you and I are the only ones in our grade who can't do a kick-up.

I'll help you out.

Okay!

Coming!

Ah, is your mother here?

I'm wif the Sagami Newspaper.

Ah, maybe your mother's not here.

Will your mother come get the newspaper?

Uh, let's see here...

I'm the newspaper ma—

Why you, cut that out! I'm Sakurai from the Bombers, you know?!

I'm tellin' ya, kick your legs like this!

W-Wait, I'm okay! S-Stop it!

It's fine, it's fine!

It's not fine! I said stop it!

What on earth was that?!

What was that thundering crash?!

Idiots! Tsuyama's butt isn't that big!

I see, so that was the sound of Tsuyama's butt hitting the ground?

Why, you!

W-What's wrong?

The ocean is nice during the summer...

The open skies of our kind planet...

Could the crashing waves be the manes of the white, galloping steeds of angels?

In these fleeting after-school moments, I ponder on romance... on love...

What's that?

What's wrong?

It's sunstroke.

It's dangerous to expose a shaved head to direct sunlight.

Right, right. Now lift up your legs.

Tami, how ya doing?

Ah, welcome!

Tami, once summer vacation starts, do you wanna go for a drive?

Makoto, Miyoshi is already taken.

By Ishikawa!

Wh-What's gotten into you?

The... Bomb... ers...

You know, you'll never get it if you don't even approach it.

I'll do it again, so watch closely.

It's fine, Eguchi. I really can't do it after all.

Why?!

Why not?!

You're scaring me.

You idiot, what are you saying? You can do it, so keep trying!

But my hands hurt.

You can still do it.

But it's embarrassing doing this sort of thing.

Eguchi is so good at this, if he took it seriously, he could easily get a '10' in P.E.

But it makes me a little bit happy that I get to spend time with him like this...

Are those brats not even coming today?

I cut watermelon and everything...

Looks like a storm's coming.

You did it!

I did it!

Eguchi, is this the reason you like the iron bars?

Now then, where could they all be?

There they are!

Hey! We're over here!

Hey, Tami, that looks pretty heavy.

Yeah, I've got everyone's lunch in here.

That was fast.

Hey, Eguchi, what's this?

Tsuyama, you didn't know? That's our mark.

I know that!

Could you stop putting this stuff up when we come to the beach?

She's right, it'd be embarrassing if people looked at us the same as they do you guys.

Whaddaya mean embarrassing?!

What?

Hey, hey, why do those people have different colored hair?

Oh, it's fine, it's fine!

Those people are a little bit dangerous, so don't get close.

What's the issue? They've got nothing to do with us.

Well then, looks like we have nothing to do with you either.

Agreed, Yoshiko?

Yeah!

H-Hey, wait a second!

Let's go.

Let's all stick together, hey!

Akira!

Let them go. We've got something else to do, remember?

But Eguchi, can't we just forget about the flag?

Now! Let's get a nice tan!

Akira, what are you sulking about?

Why don't you go and talk to her?

I-I'm a man, too!

I don't fr-fret about g-girls...

Ah, he's crying...

Defeat! Eguchi! Defeat! Eguchi! Defeat! Eguchi! Defeat! Eguchi!

Defeat! Eguchi! Defeat! Eguchi! Defeat! Eguchi! Defeat! Eguchi!

Gonda, it's too hot for this. Why don't we go to the beach?

Alright, you guys go have fun!

I want to get some more running in.

Defeat! Eguchi! Defeat! Eguchi! Defeat! Eguchi!

Dammit!

Seiji!

Why, you!

They got me...

Ready, and!

That's one down.

Serves you right, sore-asses!

Hey! I went and got our lunches!

They say anything?

Can't you just take down the flag now?

A man can't allow a woman to change his mind after he's already said it's made up.

Right, Akira?

Excuse me, but is that you, Eggy?

You've really changed! I didn't even recognize you at first!

Well, it has been five years.

I never thought that you'd be the head of a gang.

Eggy, who loved handicrafts.

I didn't figure you for the surfer type, Emiko.

Well, you were a tomboy. I guess it fits.

Ah, oh come on!

Emi, who is that?

Ah, Seiji, I'll introduce you. This is Eguchi, a classmate from first school.

Hey, you just stood up to the Legion all on your own, didn't you?

Go home, punk. You'll get the beach dirty.

What was that?

Get lost, now.

If you're just going to loiter around, I'll kick you out myself.

You lookin' for a fight?

Seiji!

I hate weaklings.

Hey, what's up with you? You trying to start something?

Then bring it on, asshole!

I'm sorry! Please wait!

Weaklings, huh?

You can't do anything unless you're all together.

Same as any other punk.

Hey, let's stop already.

But I'm different. And I'll prove it to you by riding Big Swell!

Big Swell? Seiji, you promised me that you wouldn't ride it anymore!

You bastards wouldn't understand!

That wave, how it... how it...

Seiji!

Seiji!

I'm sorry. That killed the mood, huh?

He really is much kinder than that.

He doesn't understand Eguchi.

Despite our appearances now, we were pretty full of ourselves back in middle school.

If Eguchi was your typical gangster type...

...there's no way we'd be following him.

Eggy...

Later.

Eguchi, maybe we should've taught that blockheaded surfer a lesson back there?

This is Eguchi.

Eggy, sorry to call you this late.

The truth is, I want to talk to you about Seiji.

Could you spare some time?

Oh, sure.

You probably know this,

but every year around this time, a particular low-pressure front approaches.

As a result, that causes waves over twice the size of a telephone pole.

Big Swell, right?

I hear from my surfer friends that only a few people have successfully ridden it.

But, you can't even call that thing a wave.

It's a tsunami.

In recent years, nobody has even tried to ride it.

He tried last year.

It's a miracle he even survived, but he suffered terrible injuries.

Ever since then he's been so irritable, he's like a different person.

Even his friends say so.

He said he's going to try again, right?

When he was injured, he promised me that he wouldn't ride it again.

But if he fails to ride it this time, he might never make a full recovery.

No one cares for tales of bravery anymore, right?

Especially people like you, Eggy.

I think his old-fashionedness makes him cool.

I think so, too.

Sounds like Seiji's going to try again this year, right?

He's just going to get badly hurt like last year, isn't he?

It's just a matter of pride for him.

Even still, it's dangerous. He's far too reckless.

Hey! Seiji, be careful!

Seiji, you're too far up your own ass!

Don't try so hard!

It's too dangerous, I can't ride with Seiji!

If you wanna be that violent, go join a gang!

Seiji!

Seiji...

Man, foreign movies are the best!

I was so moved!

Eguchi, didn't you sleep through most of it?

No, I was just enchanted by its wonderful music!

Oh my!

But, Eguchi, thank you for inviting me to the movies today.

What's wrong?

Seiji, stop it! You shouldn't be drinking!

Shut up! I can do what I want!

You can't, let's just head home!

Go home alone. I'm gonna go enjoy myself a bit more.

Seiji, don't you have other things to do?

I thought all you ever thought about was Big Swell!

You called Eggy a weakling, but you're much more of a weakling than him!

What?!

You're scared... I can tell.

I mean, you're the only one who really understands how terrifying Big Swell is!

Shut up!

Get over here, you little shit!

Don't bully girls!

Why you—

Eguchi!

Get off me, punk!

You chickenshit!

When a man says he's gonna do something, he does it by any means!

You worthless punk!

Stop it, Eguchi!

Goddammit!

Looks like you've got a pair after all!

Seiji...

Seiji!

Are you okay?

Seiji hasn't turned up yet.

I wonder if he's afraid of Big Swell, after all?

If Seiji doesn't try it, we'll have zero challengers this year.

What? Nobody's trying this year?

I overheard a group of surfers talking about it, so there's no mistake.

So nobody's attempting it this year...

Alright, looks like it's my chance to be a man.

Here we go again...

Would you please stop it with these stupid plans?

There is currently a large wave warning in effect.

Swimming, boating, surfing, and the like, are all prohibited.

I repeat: There is currently a large wave warning in effect.

Swimming, boating, surfing, and the like, are all prohibited.

The rain stopped, and the wind's changing.

That's right. These are the conditions.

Once this wind dies down, it'll come.

Eggy!

Looks like Big Swell's finally here.

Seiji is... Seiji is...

Just sit tight, I'll bring him here.

What the hell do you want?!

You're coming with me. Big Swell is waiting for you.

Go home. It's got nothing to do with you, punk.

Anyway, you're coming with me.

Let go! Let go of me!

Hey, the game isn't over yet!

I said you're coming with me!

Hey, wait right there!

Stop! Stop!

Seiji, this'll make great practice for Big Swell.

What do you mean?

Hold on tight!

Hey, what are those guys doing?

Seiji, Big Swell will be here soon!

It's coming.

It's here!

It's Big Swell!

Alright!

Seiji...

Alright...

Seiji, Seiji! What's wrong, Seiji?

A-Alright!

Seiji!

Seiji, please! You can do this!

Seiji!

Seiji!

Eggy?

Eggy...

Dammit... trying to tell me to hurry up?

You think a punk like you knows the first thing about riding waves?!

Alright! Alright! Alright!

You'd better not half-ass this!

You think I'll let you talk big and leave it at that?!

Alright! Alright!

Is that so?! You going or not?!

Well then, I'll take this wave for myself!

Later!

That son of a...!

Dammit! I won't lose!

Ishikawa! Where's Eguchi?

Out there.

Dammit! I won't lose to you, punk!

Try harder, surfer!

Gonda!

Eguchi! What are you doing here?!

Same to you, what are you doing out here?!

Ain't it obvious?! I'm challenging Big Swell!

Can you even surf?!

What are you saying?!

There's nothing that Gonda Nimousaku can't do!

Here it comes!

The rate of ascent is higher than I imagined.

We have to start paddling early, and wait for it to get to us!

Hey! Those guys are gonna ride it!

Seiji...

Eguchi...

Gonda!

How ya feeling, Gonda?

N-N-Never better!

Having fun, surfer?

You sure know how to have a good time, don't you?

On the way to the carrier in the summer,

while I watch the sun go down.

I feel lonely when I'm by your side,

like my heart's been turned upside down.

"You'll not be young forever..."

someone shouts to you in the sea breeze.

(Take a chance)

Alright!

I always move with the seasons,

He did it! He did it! He did it!

with my never ending memories.

(One more chance)

No matter how far away tomorrow may seem,

if things continue like this, it won't be so bad.

I want to tell you something, but I can't find the words.

Eguchi, you're going too fast.

Tsuyama, you're going too slow.

Your bike was covered in salt water, will it be okay?

I just want someone to hold.

I washed it all off with water, so I think it'll be fine.

This is the ballad from a corner of my heart.

Hey, Eguchi.

You have a unique smell, you know?

Eh? I stink?

When we frolic in the summer sun,

That's strange...

I kinda like taking baths.

I see who you really are.

It's the smell of your hair grease.

What? That's the same for all my guys, too.

No, it's your scent!

I want to hold you close, so you can't take your eyes off me.

When the air gets hot, the scent gets particularly strong.

Memories of last summer, and of the summer when I first came to this school...

Whenever I smell that, you're the only thing on my mind.

So I love you, no matter what.

So even after we graduate,

whenever summer rolls around, I'll always be able to smell it...

I just want you to keep smiling.

...and be reminded of you.

You say something?

When we frolic in the summer sun,

No, it's nothing.

I see who you really are.

What was it?

I told you, it was nothing!

I want to hold you close, so you can't take your eyes off me.

Love forever...
