Neighborhood Story

Still do not want to go back... (1x37)

Yayınlanma tarihi: Haz 02, 1996

After showing off her completed drawing of Ayumi's storehouse, Mikako summons the other Akindo members into a meeting of the minds for how best to customize it while Tsutomu records everybody's remarks. Yuusuke reads Tsutomu compiling everybody's contributions as his signal to go find Mariko who is still in academic choppy waters and seriously considering secession from Akindo; while Yuusuke puts things into perspective before setting course for Ayumi's shed, the other Akindo members proliferate into their own individual scavenger hunts for materials -- the adventures thereof comical and iconoclastic as is the case with Mikako and Jiro. Jiro's mention at Mariko being excluded in the diagram while Akindo is hard at work becomes the preamble for having it demonstrated that Sensei Tomada is still detaining Mariko after school until she submits a quality assignment. Ayumi's counsel that girls sometimes lash out for reasons unrelated to the ignition event ignites the deus ex machina of Yuusuke setting course back to Yawaza to transport Mariko home who has ultimately decided to turn the tables on her unreasonable teacher and honestly acknowledge her human fallibility along with the fact that she has truly fallen in love with Yuusuke.
