Secret of Akko-chan!
Let's play tennis, Akko. I borrowed a really cool racket!
Okay, but where at?
The school grounds are off-limits, and we can't play in the park. We'll have to go to a tennis club.
We have no money. We'll have to give it up...
You forgot one important place.
Huh?
The vacant land behind Taisho's house.
Oh, yes! That's perfect!
Get out of my way!!
What was that?
No one's using that lot but me!
That's a playground for everyone!
First-come, first-served!!
Shut up!!
We're playing soccer there today!
No, we're playing gate ball!
That's not a sport young boys play!!
Gate ball is where it's at!!
We’re playing baseball!!
What was that, Taisho..?
Look!
What is this?!
Under construction. Keep out.
This isn't fair! Where can we play without this lot?!
He’s right!
This was the only place we can play in the whole town…
We have to do something, Taisho!
You're going to lead us, and we're getting this place back!
I’m going to lead you?
You're the only one who can speak for all the kids in town!
Come to think of it, you’re right…
OK, I’m the leader here!
We're all behind you!
Way to go!
Leave it to me! We'll put our forces together and take this place back!!
You're the man, Taisho!
We've decided to organize under Taisho's leadership, the Kids-Animals Coalition.
That sounds like lots of fun.
Don’t encourage her!
I'm worried that you're going to get yourself in trouble...
That’s the wrong attitude.
Kids will be kids. They’re learning to defend themselves.
Nope! I’m against it!!
I'm definitely for it!!
Hey, guys, calm down…
We're doing this peacefully. There’s nothing to worry about.
Sorry... and where's this vacant land?
It's the land behind Taisho's house.
Oh, yes. Taisho's leading the coalition?
Sure.
That doesn’t sound right…
Huh?
The flag for the Kids-Animals Coalition!
Here it is!
A gorilla and a pig.
It’s me and Tora.
Oops…
Here, I brought you something!
What happened, Dad?
I'm afraid something might have gone wrong.
Something good happened to you, Dad?
Well, yes… Get me that, dear.
Yes, dear.
That’s mine!
Remember it's first-come, first-served!
No...!
Here.
Watch this, you two!
What’s that?
It's our new house!
What?
The ground floor is for the business. The 2nd floor is our residence. The 3rd and 4th floors are for apartment houses.
Where are you planning on constructing that gigantic building?
That was supposed to be mine...
The building will be on the vacant lot behind us.
What?!
The walls around that lot behind us were put up by...
Me, of course!
It took me some time, but I made a fantastic deal.
All I have to do is provide the land and labor, and the capital will be provided by the large real-estate corporation.
Honey, we’ve finally come this far…
Yes, I've dreamed of this day for so long!
Oh, no…
I wonder what Dad said was true…
Akatsuka Construction, or Taisho’s Dad’s company is putting up a building there.
Which means Taisho is now… Well, then…
Tekumaku Mayakon Tekumaku Mayakon, I’d like to become a Kitty Akko!
Shippona, shall we?
Yes!
If I stay as leader of the Kids-Animals Coalition, I'll crash my dad's dream.
If I take Dad's side, I'll be betraying my friends.
Ahh! I don't know what to do!!
We'll do this here.
Ah, ha, got it.
We'll be there for you throughout the process. We'll construct a wonderful building.
Yes, as you know, I'm the best in the construction business!
I heard that…
What should I tell everyone?
I saw your dad talking to some guys in suits. You cannot hide it from us.
You're not resigning as leader of the coalition, are you?
Well…
You cannot sever the relationship between parent and child that easily...
You're quitting?
I’m disappointed!
Be a man!
Taisho?!
Well…
Taisho!!
Taisho?!
Shut up!!
I'm the boss of all the kids in this town. Once I give my word, I'll do what I promised.
Yes! Taisho!!
That’s our Taisho!!
Thank you, thank you…
What is our plan, leader?
Umm... Our plan is...
How about a flashy demonstration to appeal the population of the town?
That sounds good!
But then…
Yes?!
You can't stand against your parents? Is that it?
OK, let’s do it!
Where is this going?
We're following our own plan.
Yes!
Okay, we're here. We are digging from this point up.
We'll have a secret passage to the lot so that we can strike anytime we need to.
I’m ready!
Let’s do it!!
By my calculations, we should be only few feet away from the lot.
Wow, this is exciting!
Okay!
Mt. Fuji?!
We dug too far!!
Get out!!
Dad!
Dad.
What is it, boys?
I have something to ask you.
Me too.
This is my entire savings I've kept from my allowance.
This is mine.
I wanted to return this to you, so...
I don't want your money. I'm in the happiest mood in my entire life.
Well... it's about that building...
What about that building?
Please stop building on that land!
YOU FOOL!!
What are you talking about?! That's not even funny!!
That lot is for the kids and animals in this down. Without it, we don't have anywhere to go!
You want me to give up my life's dream just to keep kids and animals happy?!
Please! I'll do anything! I won't ask for anything else in my life!
You're such an ungrateful child!
Taisho…
Poor Taisho…
He's torn between his parents and his friends.
Is there any way we can dissuade him from going ahead with the construction?
He's too stubborn for that. Unless, maybe, if this place is haunted or something like that...
That’s it!
I can't believe that son of mine...
Now that I think of it, I've had a long history with this lot. I used to play here all the time when I was his age.
No! I cannot give up my plan!
Huh? Where's my lighter? Oh, thank you.
I have come from the other world you haven't been to...
Who are you?!
You are about to commit a sin, and I'm here to warn you about it!
Warn me?
Yes. A cat spirit named Nekomata once lived here.
Nekomata?
Yes. Nekomata sleeps underneath this land.
I've never heard of this before!
If you build on this land, you will disturb Nekomata, and bad things will happen!
That's total bullshit!
Oh, NO!! Nekomata is angry!!
AAaaaahhh!!! Nekomata!!!!
Good job!
Nekomata or not, I cannot give up my dream!
What’s that?
I saw it on TV. It’s cat kryptonite!
YES!! My dream is stronger than Nekomata!!
Ramipasu Ramipasu Ru Ru Ru Ru Ru!
Well, that plan didn't work out.
It’s Sunday…
Taisho didn't show up.
We can't count on him anymore.
No, we can't. I’m so disappointed!
Someone has to be the leader.
Ok, I know what I can do.
Tekumaku Mayakon Tekumaku Mayakon, I want to become a cheerleader!
Akko-chan asked me to join you.
Everyone, follow me! Let's go!!
Everyone is watching! I think we did well!
Okay, everyone! Get 'em!
Wait, let's talk about this!
Oh, no! What should I do?
Everyone, stop fighting!!
Taisho?!
"Taisho"?
Taisho!!
What are you doing!
Dad, this one time in my life, I cannot take your side.
What?!
I won't move from here until you give up the construction. I will stop eating!
I will never move from here!
Fine, then! Don't move! Keep your words, alright?!
I sure will!!
However, we have to start construction...
We still have a couple more days, don't we?!
Ah, yes...
He won't last...
Mom...
Here, your dad is still sleeping.
I'm not eating!
But...
I won't eat or move until he gives up.
Your dad is thinking about everyone in the family.
You don't understand, Mom. We need a playground more than a stupid building!
Akko-chan...
You brought that for Taisho?
Yes...
Thank you, but he won't eat it.
Once he has decided what to do, he'll do it. He's just like his father.
He may be stubborn, but he follows his own ethics. Look...
Oh, my! He looks just like Taisho! Who's that girl standing next to him?
She's his first love.
Wow, it's great to see him like this! Hmm...
Taisho... Taisho...
Taisho...
Omichi-chan?!
Taisho, let's go to the playground.
My nickname was Taisho, too...
Oh, look. The poor boy...
Taisho, do you know what's the most important for kids?
Get out, get out! This place isn't for kids!
Dad, I won't move until you let us play here!
That's... me!
He's still there.
Okay, get that kid out of here!
Oh, no!
Go away! Don't touch me!
Hey! What are you doing to my son?!
We have to get started. It's been two days.
I quit.
What?! You can't say that now!
Yes, I can! This was my plan, and I'm saying I quit!
Why me…
Dad!
You're so stubborn!
Dad! Thank you!!
Don’t mention it.
Dad!
I'm glad you changed your mind.
You appeared in my dream and told me that the most important thing for kids is not a fancy building.
It's a playground where kids can run around. That was from my first love, Omichi-chan.
Oh, my... that was a long time ago.
Yey! Get a room!
Get a room!
OK, here I come!!
I'm ready!!
Hey, you're in the way!
What the…
Hey, my ball...
We're playing soccer today whether you like it or not!
