No, that's not how it is.
I didn't mean that.
But seriously, I think your boobs got bigger.
Die.
Eww, you pervert! But—
Yadomi Atsushi Touko Jinta
Die!
Die, die, die, die!
Stop passing on your inferior genes, you horny animals!
Die, die, die...
Hmm?
Hey, is this a Lipolippy?
Of course not.
I hate how dumb girls are.
Really?
But they're similar.
Look at how fat its lips are.
In that case, the old man at the abacus class would be a Lipolippy... too...
But Jin-tan...
Jin-tan?
The summer animals are in heat indeed.
That's not fair!
Menma wants some salt ramen too.
Oh, an egg!
Menma wants her egg beaten! Egg beaten!
Hey...
The egg's going to harden, you know?
Mix the egg, mix the egg!
What's this, ramen?
How nice.
Oh, it's the old man.
Make me some too, Jinta.
Thanks for letting me stay!
Jinta?
Yeah, sure.
Awesome! How cute!
What?!
Why would you make it for the old man but not for Menma?
How about you stop adding "cute" to everything you say?
Oh, he called Menma cute too once.
But it's a good word.
You can describe anything with it.
You don't normally do that.
How will you have your eggs?
One, dropped inside.
Make sure not to pop the yolk.
Okay.
You too, mister?
Unfair, unfair, favoring the old man!
I knew it...
Let's put on some TV.
Oh, what a cute cat.
Father's going about business as usual, which means...
Hey, Jin-tan!
Here.
Hooray!
Digging right in!
Pepper, pepper, put in some pepper...
All right!
Menma wants some too!
Jinta?
Oh, uh...
Chopsticks...
Where are my chopsticks?!
Chopsticks!
What's wrong? You got heatstroke indoors?
That's cute, but it's big trouble too!
Jin-tan?
The summers back then...
Jin-tan, it's dangerous.
Don't worry.
Whoa, Jin-tan's is the biggest!
I told you.
Wow, that's amazing.
You're so cool, Jin-tan!
Back then, I was...
Hey, Tsuruko.
What?
Let's go look for flowers and stuff.
Hey, Jin-tan.
What is it, Menma?
Well...
I want you to grant me a wish.
I spent many pages

We still don't know

But I can't fill in just one blank line

I place a pressed flower bookmark there

Let's go back to where we piled those half-forgotten bricks

Dear Jinta-kun, I'll be at work! Take it easy!
What's this?
I must be insane.
This... This must be my unbearable stress and trauma
giving me hallucinations because of the summer heat—
E-Even my sexual impulses are playing in thanks to puberty...
Good morning, Jin-tan.
Let's assume...
...for a moment that you are here as an incarnation of my stress.
Huh?
But...
...why now?
Also...
...why appear in your grown form?
You can ask all you want, but...
I have no idea!
Come on!
But Menma's pretty sure she wants you to grant her wish.
Your wish?
What's that?
Well...
I have no idea!
If you don't know what your wish is, I have no way of granting it!
But I feel that's what I want...
Really though, I wonder what I'm talking about?
You're asking me?!
You spat at me!
Stop, sheesh!
Shield!
This is an invincible shield, so I'm invincible now.
This is a summer beast.
My stress. My trauma.
Oh, no shield breakers either.
For now, try to remember what your wish was.
Oh right, about that...
Everyone has to be together to grant this wish.
Everyone?
Yes!
Wait!
I said wait!
But the person's ringing the doorbell.
You can't answer the door!
Just calm down and—
What are you doing?
A-Anjou...
It's Anaru!
Hey, calm down—
You've gotten so big!
"Calm down"?
I'm not panicking or anything.
Oh, well...
My shoulders feel kind of heavy...
Anaru...
You can't see Menma?
So, what is it?
Here.
It's the summer homework Sensei asked me to give you.
Wait, now?
We only have two more days of summer break—
Unlike you, Yadomi, I have things to do!
Then just throw it away somewhere.
I don't feel like going to that stupid school anyway.
I don't really care if you don't come.
But you know...
You're pathetic!
Bye.
Ana—
Jin-tan, you idiot!
Ow...
Why didn't you ask Anaru?
You could've said, "Please help me grant it, Anaru!"
Let me say something first.
Don't call her Anaru.
Call her Anjou or Naruko.
Why?
Anaru is Anaru.
She's kind to everyone and has a lot of games and manga.
I said...!
She's not the Anaru we knew anymore.
That rotten bitch wouldn't help me even if I asked.
"Rotten bitch"?
It means stupid woman!
Anyway, she's not a friend or anything anymore—
No way!
No way.
I don't like it when you say bad things about Anaru!
Menma...
Come on, let's go to Anaru's place one more time.
Let's ask her.
Jin-tan!
Jin-tan?
Fine.
You'll figure it out once you ask Anjou to grant your wish.
It's not just Anjou.
You'll see that everything's changed since then.
Hey Jin-tan, are you done yet?
Yeah yeah, I'm coming.
A hat and glasses?
Don't worry about it.
Come on, let's go.
Yup.
Oh, hi there.
Oh my, going shopping?
I am, actually.
Oh, by the way...
Jin-tan?
I know.
What's wrong?
H-Hi there...
What a weird face.
Oh, there's green onions from the ramen stuck on your teeth.
Shut up—
Damn it...
Wait!
Hey, Anaru's house isn't this way.
We're going on a walk.
Oh!
This was a Bom-Bom, right?
It's a WcDonald's now.
Amazing!
But Menma...
Did you see that movie?
They're from the same middle school as me...
Which one?
You know, the one where aliens come and a girl with a nunchuk fights at a school.
What's that?
You don't know?
They had tons of commercials.
Are they your friends?
No.
I know already.
Those hags screwed up my pace, but nobody gives a damn about me.
Even Anjou said she doesn't care about me.
Off with its head!
It smells like summer!
You haven't changed at all.
What?
Nothing.
Of course she hasn't.
She's just a hallucination.
"Grant me a wish", eh?
This must be... what I've done to Menma...
Jin-tan!
Look, look!
What do you think you're doing? It's dangerous!
Jinta!
Jinta...
Menma-chan, she...
J... Jin-tan?
Are you okay?
It's nothing.
Yadomi?
What are you doing?

Hey, Naruko!
Did you go to Jin-chan's house?
Knock first!
Oh, I didn't?
Oh well. Anyway—
I just stopped by for a moment!
Besides, it doesn't concern you!
It does.
I wanted you to go bring him some red bean buns.
How about you do it?!
Wow, that's a real teenager for you.
Geez!
I'm the one...
...who's pathetic.
Here.
Oh.
We're on our way back from summer class.

Are you okay?
Y-Yeah.
See you then.
Hey.
It's Yukiatsu and Tsuruko!
Let's go!
Huh?
No, Menma—
I mean, well...
What do you mean, "Menma"?
Well...
Do you still call her that?
Yukiatsu?
I've heard about you.
Yukiatsu!
You aren't going to school.
You failed your entrance exams, entered a low-tier high school,
and on top of cutting classes, you're calling Honma Meiko's name.
Did something infect your brain?
Jin-tan!
Yukiatsu, you idiot!
What are you getting all worked up for?
You say he changes a lot at the mention of Honma Meiko.
Aren't you just the same, Matsuyuki-kun?
Shut up.
You're such a wimp despite your looks.
I'm smart too.
Sure, sure.
Jin-tan!
Wait!
Jin-tan!
Now you see, don't you?
Everyone's changed.
No...
I'm the one who's changed the most, right?
Jin-tan?
Hey...
My stress.
Let up on me, please.
When I'm with you, all the bad things...
All the bad things come back to me.
It bothers me.
Jin-tan...
Back then...
Back then, the summers weren't like this.
Hey, I've decided!
On what?
We're the Super Peace Busters!
Whoa, that's so cool!
What are "Busters"?
Apparently, it means strong guys.
We're going to protect the peace!
Amazing!
Where?
Here, there, and everywhere!
Then you're the leader, Jin-tan!
Yeah!
Everyone followed me.
That's right.
That day...
Even that day.
Hey, Jin-tan...
You like Menma, don't you?
W-What are you talking about?
Be honest.
The Super Peace Busters don't keep secrets!
Yukiatsu!
Say it, say it, say it!
Geez, stop it already.
Say it, hurry up, say it!
Say it, say it!
Why would I like such an ugly—
I thought she would cry.
Menma was a crybaby, after all.
But...
Wait, Jin-tan!
Jin-tan!
Oh, you're back already?
I'm heading to Mom's place for a bit. Microwave the fried rice before you eat it.
Wash your hands, and microwave it before you eat it! Daddy
That smile was bothering me inside.
I thought I could just apologize tomorrow.
This tastes bad...
But that tomorrow...
...never came.
Curry...
Hey, the door's open.
Then close it.
Saa-kun!
You've gotten so big!
Daddy has a lot of gray hair...
Mommy...
Stop it already.
Saa-kun...
It annoys me when you give Nee-chan some whenever we make curry.
Well, it was your sister's favorite food.
Dead people don't eat.
Don't say that.
Your sister was a little slow, so she might not even know she's dead.
I know.
Menma...
...knows well that she's dead.
What are you doing?
I don't know, the cup fell on its own.
Menma...?
Just clean it up.
But it wasn't me...
There's nothing inside, damn that father...
We busted our peace magnificently...
...and naturally fell apart.
Menma wants her egg beaten! Egg beaten!
That girl...
