- Here goes! - Go, go!
Go, go, go!

Principal, your butt is sticking out.
Eh? Eh?
3.
Moron. moron.

Hurry up! This is bad, this is bad!

"Teacher Natsumura Chihiro"
Mitakara-jima? What's this about it?
I told you, "take a look at it," didn't I?
This.
"Mitakara-jima Ocean Overseas Study"
"Ocean Overseas Study"?
I want to let Yuya study on this island for a year.
"Mitakara-jima (Beautiful Treasure Island) (Amami, Kagoshima Prefecture Island Group)"
The lone school at Kagoshima Prefecture's Mitakara-jima...
"Mitakara Middle/High School" ...has just 11 children in it.
It'd be impossible for him, wouldn't it? Spending a year living on an island like that.
Dear...
...you're always harping on that, aren't you?
Eh?
It's been 3 months already.
Just how long do you intend to leave Yuya the way he is?
"Idiot - Fool"
"Idiot Fool"
All right. I'll leave it up to you.
Ah, Jun'ya.
Is your cold all better?
It's okay to take a break from school.
The exams are almost here.
You're working really hard, aren't you?
Ah, since I'll be away from home for a while starting tomorrow with your older brother...
...take care of things, okay?
Oi, what's this about?
I'm going to take a look around that island.
Eh?
Was everyone caught?
Was she caught? Ala?
Chihiro-sensei.
I kicked it!
Heiwa Fansubs Presents: "Shima no Sensei" "Teacher's Island"
Episode 1 (of 6 total) "Live, Once Again"
"Chicken Hut"
"Pochi"
What great weather!
Chi-chan!
You're full of spirit.
Toshi-baa, good morning!
Go all out!
" Foster Parent for Overseas Students Tajima Bunzo"
- I got the eggs. - Thank you.
- Here. - Yes.
Those are some amazing chickens, giving birth to that many eggs day after day.
That's true.
Nami-nee, you'll give birth to 5 kids too, right?
The islanders would be delighted over that.
- They'd say, "she's increased our population!" - Yes, yes!
"Akiyoshi's Wife - Tajima Namiko" Sorry to disappoint you.
But there's only one person inside here.
"Ocean Overseas Student - Ando Moeka" Ehh?!
Don't say any more useless things and hurry up with the preparations.
Yes.
- Ah, and wake up both Shoji and Tsubasa. - Yes!
Shoji, Tsubasa, wake up!
"Bunzo's Eldest Son Tajima Akiyoshi"
- Dad. - Huh?
Are you taking on some new overseas student?
Yeah.
I told you to just turn that down.
There's no reason to turn it down.
Mom died 5 years ago.
It's not possible for you to be a foster parent unless me and Namiko help out.
Our child'll be born this Fall and I was thinking of trying out that new line of work.
What about these children?
You should ask someone else on the island to take care of them.
It's not so easy for children to be raised at some other place.
I understand that.
- You don't understand! - Yes, I do understand!
- Because I... - Stop it already!
The children can hear you.
Good morning!
Ojii-chan, is something wrong?
No...
"Bunzo-ojichan" Itadakimasu!
Goin' for seconds!
Sensei, a child is coming for a tour here tomorrow, aren't they?
That's right.
- You're looking forward to that, right? - Not really.
"Ocean Overseas Student - Tada Shoji Ocean Overseas Student - Aoi Tsubasa"
Shoji-kun, you don't want them to come?
I'm not interested.
Shoji hates that he'll be stolen away from Ojii-chan and Nami-nee.
I'm so happy.
Really?!
- That ain't true! - Putting up a front.
I can understand those feelings.
You two are the same; both little kids.
You're the little kid!
Little kid, little kid, little kid.
- Shut up! - Ow!
What was that for!?
Stop it, you two.
Hey, hey! If all you do is chatter like this, you'll be late.
Ah, today's the morning meeting.
I have to go first.
- Ah, you're going first? - Thanks for the food!
Yes.
I'm off!
Have a nice day!
"Amamitakara Port"
What are you doing? Hurry and come.
"Melos was a simple man."
"He slowly entered the Imperial Castle while carrying his shopping on his back."
"Middle School 1, Year 2"
"He was arrested after just a moment by a police officer on patrol."
"When he was checked and a dagger came out from Melos' breast pocket..."
"...there was a huge uproar."
"Melos was hauled in front of the King."
Yes, that's far enough. Sakura-san, you continue.
Yes.
"What were you intending with this dagger?! Speak!"
"However, the tyrant Dionisus listened quietly and with dignity as he was questioned closely."
"The King's face was pale, and the wrinkles in the middle of his forehead were deeply incised."
Eh?
No, no. We've boarded the ferry already.
Yes, thank you for your help in advance.
Yes, thank you very much.
"Cigarettes - Salt" Yes, yes, be careful.
Yes! Thank you.
Hagu?
"Neighborhood Council Chief - Sonoda Ittetsu" Was that supposed to be today...?
Ah, Natsumura-sensei!
Shoji-kun, come out. Shoji-kun!
Tada! Shape up!
I'm coming in there!
That's okay, Nose-sensei. Shoji-kun does this a lot.
He does this a lot?
Hurry and come down from there. Yes.
Shoji-kun...
...you made a promise with Ojii-chan yesterday, didn't you?
That you would make sure and come to English class.
I worked hard at it for a little while...
...but I'm just no good at it.
All right.
Then... you don't have to come.
- Really? - Yeah.
Because you did your best, even if it was just a little, right?
Wait, Natsumura-sensei...
But, you should come out of there.
Could you lie down in the Health Center?
No way.
"Teacher - Nose Yukito School Nurse - Tokito Isako"
I don't like that Health Room Sensei.
Shoji-kun...
...if you come out right now, I won't tell Ojii-chan about this.
But if you don't come out...
...Ojii-chan will have to come here.
Eh?
Ah, I wonder if I'll have to tell him about this?
For pete's sake!
Principal, I'm sorry for the fuss.
It was early today, wasn't it? Thanks for your hard work.
Yes.
More importantly, about the case of our visitor, Suzuki Yuya-kun...
...it seems he's headed over here right now.
Eh? Isn't he supposed to come tomorrow?
Seems the Neighborhood Chief made a mistake.
I wonder if it's another problem child?
- Eh? - Huh?
I'm sorry.
It's not that...
"Principal - Otsuka Yoko" ...all our overseas students have problems.
Some of them are children...
...who come here because they love nature or fishing.
"Idiot Jerk"
Excuse me...
- Excuse me! - Oh!
Aren't we there yet?
"Sea Taxi Captain Soma Katsumi"
You can see it.
"Welcome Suzuki Yuya-kun To Mitakara Grade School/Middle School/High School"
Yuya-kun!
Here, here, here, here.
Be careful coming up! Watch your feet!
We've been waiting for you!
- Thank you for your help. - We're awfully far out. Is your seasickness okay?
Yes, completely.
Yuya-kun! You've come, haven't you?
Everyone's waiting for you.
Please enjoy your 4 days here.
As you can see, it's a place where there's nothing.
No! There's lots of nature and the air is delicious, right, Yuya?
- Yuya-kun! - Yuya-kun!
Hello there!
Those are our students.
Ah, is that right?
Hello there!
Ah, this way, this way!
Now, let's go, let's go.
"Tajima Home"
In the event Yuya-kun clearly becomes an overseas student here...
...he would be living here at this house.
Ah... Please take care of us.
Weren't you supposed to come tomorrow?
Eh?
Please rest assured, we will watch over him carefully.
It's already gotten livelier.
I think he'll enjoy this.
When you say that, I feel relieved.
Well then, for now, I've placed your luggage at the Inn...
I'm home!
- Ah, welcome back! - Welcome home.
She's a freeloader here.
I'm Natsumura Chihiro. I'm a teacher.
Sensei...
Once you've decided to study here, I'll be your son's teacher.
Is that right!
Chi-chan here was our very first overseas student.
After graduating from Middle School here on the island, she returned to Tokyo...
...but she came back to the island a year ago.
- My! - Yes.
Um, why did you bring Yuya-kun to this island?
Akiyoshi.
That story will come out in good time.
I just want to know what the reason is.
Why they would let strangers take charge of their precious son.
I want to hear what it's all about.
Ittetsu. Shouldn't we go along with what Akiyoshi says?
The school in Tokyo...
...wouldn't save this boy.
All his teachers would say is, "it isn't bullying."
I don't believe...
...Yuya has any faith in schools.
His textbooks and notebooks were written over.
They wrote "stupid" in big characters.
That's malicious, isn't it?
This boy...
...he says he hasn't been bullied.
I was worried because of that.
I want to protect my son from bullying.
As a mother.
Banzai!
At any rate, because this island has less than 80 people on it...
...kids are our treasure.
They're the most important thing to all us islanders.
"Fisherman - Hino Ryotaro" You got it!
You said a good thing there, Captain.
"I-turn - Hashino Kimihiro" I've only lived on this island for a year...
...but I'm already fully a part of the group here.
- Right, Ryo-chan? - Hashi-chan.
That's how it is!
What's the matter?
Ah, I'm sorry.
I'm just very happy somehow.
This is delicious! Here!
Oh, that does look good!
Yuya-kun!
Don't hold back and eat as much as you'd like!
You have a nice Mom, don't you?
Eh?
Ah!
That's the first time I've heard Yuya-kun's voice.
Don't you want something to eat?
You must be starving.
Yeah. Here on the island...
...we don't have convenience stores.
Ah, Sir?
Ah, what is it?
I'm very sorry to ask this of you...
...but could you let Yuya spend his nights here beginning this evening?
- Starting tonight? - Yes.
I want to let him experience what real life here is like.
Well... I don't mind.
Thank you very much.
Yuya-kun... are you okay with that?
Will you stay here overnight?
Ah, I'm sorry Sensei. He's feeling a little tired today.
Ma'am, I'm talking with Yuya-kun right now.
What is it?
Is there something you're dissatisfied about?
I didn't want to come.
I didn't want to come to this island!
In that case...
...please leave the island!
Chi-chan, stop that.
Sensei, you don't have to say that to a child who's just come here...
If they are forced into conforming...
...children's hearts will become detached.
Are you saying... I brought him out here by force?
Am I wrong?
I... brought Yuya here to protect him.
I'm the one...
...who understands Yuya's feelings the best.
You'll regret it.
Huh?
After you've lost something important, it's too late for regrets.
What are you saying?
What was that earlier with Chi-chan?
Well...
Still, that's good.
What is?
A homeroom teacher would ask...
"Setting up an Internet Shop To Sell Products" ...why he had come here, wouldn't they?
Still, in the end he didn't stay here overnight.
Yeah. Well...
If they are coming, it's best they looked for other foster parents.
Raising a baby ourselves...
...taking on the problems of someone else's child would just make things impossible.
Can we... bring up this one properly?
Huh?
Well...
...when I look at the children who come here...
...I become uneasy at times.
It's said raising a child is a lot of trouble.
"You'll regret it."
"After you've lost something important, it's too late for regrets."
"Get Lost! You suck Moron!"
"Get Lost!"
Good morning!
Did you show up there?
And we completely cleaned them out!
Don't you need this? Take it.
Yes, thank you.
Yes.
I remembered yesterday.
About what?
About when you came to the island, Chi.
Eh?
You said, "I hate this island. I'm leaving," didn't you?
I did, didn't I?
And you went flying off, just like that.
I was even worse than Yuya-kun.
For the children who come here...
...both those now and those in the past, nothing ever changes about them.
Or you, either.
There are things that can change on this island.
As long as there are people who want to come to this island.
And even you, Chi.
That's why you came back, isn't it?
- Delicious! - Delicious!
Why did Chihiro-san come back to this island?
Who knows?
She said it was because she loves the island.
Spoken like someone who knew her well as his first love.
Don't say that!
Doesn't a teacher from Tokyo...
...have to re-take the exams to become a teacher here in Kagoshima?
She went to that extent...
Wouldn't there be a reason for doing that?
You're over-working your intuition.
There may be a reason or there may not...
...but she's a person...
...who will leave the island in the end.
We...
...can't live anywhere else but this island.
In that case...
...let's hurry up with what we we've been discussing.
I believe this island has a treasure trove of potential.
Yes!
Yeah.
Now...
It occurred to me to have you guys write phrases that sound the same but have different meanings.
Eh?
Yes, start.
That's wrong.
Eh? What is one?
What is one?
I was told by Yuya that he would come to class.
It was worth it to come to this island.
Yes.
This is a huge first step.
Still...
...I am a little concerned about Natsumura-sensei.
Don't worry.
Because she's a teacher...
...who thinks from a child's point of view.
Ah, I did it!
"Hibernation (tomin)" and "islanders (tomin)".
Yeah, "hibernation" and "islanders" is one, isn't it?
I've done it, too! "Marine (kaijo)" and "assembly hall (kaijo)."
Oh, you came up with a good one.
Then, what else?
You should give this some thought too, Yuya-kun.
Let's see...
I know!
Eh?
Yuya-kun, you should try writing one, too.
Ah, I know.
"Schoolyard (kotei)" and "High and low (kotei)." High and Low.
"Staff Room" I'm part of a parent-child who are studying overseas.
My! Parents and their children can study overseas?
"Parent-Child Studying Overseas - Kiuchi Nao" I was thankfully introduced to it...
...by the school where I worked.
Principal! Suzuki-kun is...!
Has something happened with Yuya-kun?
We can't find him anywhere.
Eh?!
Toshi-baa!
Chi-chan.
Did a Middle School boy pass by here?
He was headed towards Sybilla Rock.
Thank you.
Yuya-kun!
It's dangerous there, so come down!
Don't scare me like that.
My medal...
Medal?
A gold one...
Is it something important to you?
I threw it away.
Eh?
I threw it away, but...
You were preparing yourself to dive in after it?
Wouldn't it have been carried away in the meantime?
I guess this is fine.
Because I don't need it anymore.
Um...
Wait here.
But...
Don't worry.
Are you really going?
I am.
It's deep here, isn't it?
Sensei! Sensei!
Ah, have this.
Hagu, this'll be a big help; it's great.
- It really is a relief. - Yeah.
We've really troubled you.
It's great that you're safe.
Because you were worried about me...
...you jumped into the ocean, didn't you?
Thank you.
About your medal...
I couldn't find it.
I'm sorry.
Yuya!
Thank goodness.
I'm very sorry.
What's the meaning of this?
Saying those insolent things and then letting Yuya nearly drown.
It wasn't Sensei's fault.
I'm the one who jumped in on my own.
Why are you always like this?
Why can't you be more like Jun'ya?
It's because you do such things, your younger brother has passed you by!
Yuya...
...will study on a different island.
- Got one, got one! - Reel it in, reel it in.
If you don't pull it up, it'll bite your foot. It's okay, it's okay.
It's big, it's big.
Yuya.
Have you ever fished?
Here, give it a try.
He won't catch nothin' anyhow!
'Cause Shoji's never caught 'nothin' neither, right?
This... is yours, isn't it?
I saw your e-mails.
The one who wrote over your textbooks...
"Idiot"
"Get lost! You suck Moron!"
...was from...
"From Jun'ya" ...your younger brother, Jun'ya-kun, wasn't it?
Why...
...didn't you tell your mother about this?
Because Jun'ya is...
...the son Mom is proud of.
The medal...
Yeah...
I got that from Mom.
When I was in Grade School...
...and got 100 points for the first time.
But...
...my grades didn't go up...
...and I failed at all the entrance exams...
...for Middle School.
In Middle School, too...
...I got so scared of my test results...
...that I couldn't go to school any longer.
I...
...couldn't be a son Mom could be proud of.
That's why...
...she's...
...throwing me away on this island.
Ah.
You got one.
- He got one! - Eh?
Oi, Yuya!
Reel it in, reel it in!
Hold on, hold on... You'll be okay.
You can do it!
Where is it? Take it easy.
Oh, that's a big one, a big one!
Shoji! Tsubasa! Come here for a minute!
Wind it up nice and slow, nice and slow.
Moeka! Bring a net, a net!
Keep it under control, under control.
You can do it, Yuya-niichan.
Hang on to him, Tsubasa!
Whaa, this is a big one!
There, there, wind it in, nice and easy.
Nice and easy; don't panic.
You can do it! You can do it!
Just a little more.
You can do it!
Okay! It is huge!
You got yourself a Koshoudai! Oi! (species of pepper sea bream)
That's incredible! That's great!
Isn't this the first time we've caught something this big?
It's probably just a fluke.
Yuya-niichan, you're incredible!
Yuya, you caught it!
Awesome!
That's incredible!
Nami-nee, come look!
Whaa, incredible! It's huge!
Look at this thing!
Who caught this?
This biggest fish ever was caught by Yuya-niichan.
Ehh... That's awesome!
And we have these under it, look.
What a great haul!
I told the Neighborhood Chief we would be going to another island.
This biggest fish ever was caught by Yuya-kun.
We'll make sashimi from it and bring it to your Inn.
No thank you.
Please don't flatter my son so much.
He'll just get caught up in the moment right away and won't be able to do anything.
Ah! And you did it with these skinny arms!
Ehh! This is...!
Then let's us eat it.
- Let's do that, let's. - We should, shouldn't we?
We'll make a feast today.
- I'll help! - All right!
Meat would be good.
I wanna eat with Yuya-niichan!
"Music Room"
"I'm over here... Whaa!"
"Mama!"
- Oi, Chihiro. - Ryotaro.
- You're up early for a Saturday. - I have a favor to ask.
A gold medal?
At that spot, the tides aren't that fast, are they?
Please, lend me the power of the Ladies' Club.
Good morning.
No one's around.
Everyone's out treasure hunting today.
Eh?
Everyone!
This is Yuya-kun's important treasure!
Captain! How about you guys there?
Ryotaro!
It's fine for you not to fish today.
Look for that gold medal!
You kids there, don't play around!
All of you look for it!
Oi! We're counting on you guys with the snorkel team!
Hey, you Ladies' Club members!
Don't just gossip!
All of you show off the Mitakara spirit!
Go all out! Exert yourselves!
Yuya-kun!
Is this your gold medal, Yuya-kun?
'Cause only you can tell for sure.
Why?
Eh?
That is...
Why are there so many people here?
I thought we'd find it with a larger number of people.
Why would you...
This is fun, like a festival or something!
It's a pain in the butt!
Seems this weakens Sensei when she holds it.
I hope we find it, right?
This is turning out to be something else, isn't it?
Why are they looking for it?
Eh?
Even though I...
...said a terrible thing like, "I didn't want to come to this island."
We can't not but help one another here.
Because this is an island.
Oi!
The tide is starting to turn!
Let's do this!
Yeah!
That's enough! Please stop this, all of you!
Yuya, what's this about?
You've troubled all these people!
The one who asked them to search for it... was me.
You again?
For Yuya-kun, it is a very important medal.
Yuya-kun.
You are...
...the lowest as a son.
Thank you very much.
Oh, that's okay.
I'm sorry. For only making a bunch of noise like this...
It might be for the best that you didn't find it.
Thank you.
Truth is...
...when I had just come here, I also said...
..."I hate this island!" and then ran away.
Really?
And then Ojii-chan told me, "If you hate it, then leave!"
Sulking...
...I went up into the mountains late at night to run away.
Alone?
Yeah.
What about a light?
None!
That's reckless.
When I was lost in the mountains...
...without water...
...and my feet not working...
...I thought things were hopeless for me...
That was when Ojii-chan was there...
...holding up a torch and covered in mud.
Was he angry?
He was crying.
Though it hadn't been that long...
...he hugged me tightly; crying like a baby.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness," he said.
Soon...
...the morning sun rose.
The sunrise from the ocean...
...is incredibly beautiful.
When we came down the mountain...
...the islanders were all waiting for me.
It was then I thought...
..."I want to be here."
"Mitakara Middle/High School"
Ma'am, won't you please reconsider?
If you could only have a good talk with Natsumura-sensei, then...
I do not want to talk to that person any more.
Well then, it's time to meet our ship.
Um...
What are you doing?
It's time for the ship.
Do you remember...
...my gold medal?
"Congratulations on getting your first 100 points!"
"You really worked hard!"
At that time...
...you loved me, Mom.
I want you to approve of me again someday.
I think I can...
...make something of myself here on this island.
So...
Please leave me here on this island.
Please.
Please!
Why are you always like this?
Why are you always causing me trouble?!
Say, why?
Why are you always like this?!
Hey, why?!
Why won't you listen to what I tell you?
What is it?
You really don't want to do this, do you?
You know why this is for the best, don't you?!
Is there... something else?
This was...
...picked out of the sea yesterday.
He said, "I don't need it."
That boy...
...unlike his younger brother...
...is bad at things.
There are...
...still many things...
...I would like to do together with him.
But this time around...
...he has broken down.
I knew from the start.
That the lowest one isn't him.
It's me.
Only by living a long life...
...is it possible for anyone to do as much as they can.
Children, too...
And parents, too...
She's...
...me.
Live, once again.
That was what you came back here for, wasn't it Chi?
Yuya-kun starts today, doesn't he?
That's...
Eh?
He's taking today off.
He's still too anxious to attend properly.
He can be carefree.
By saving up his power...
...he can become just as powerful as the girls in his class are.
That's true.
Our cheerfulness is our strong point.
"Dear Moeka"
"Today, from Mom to Moeka..."
Moeka?
Say, class has already started!
What's the matter? Did you forget something?
Moeka-san?
I'm going to Yokohama.
Huh?
I was fooled.
Eh?
I was fooled by Mom!
"To Be Continued"
Can you forgive your mother?
The child in your stomach who brought you pain at their birth.
That just not something that can be ignored.
I don't think she'll come see you.
Is it okay for you to say such a thing?
But that's what you think, isn't it?
- We're counting on you! - Hagu!
This isn't a misunderstanding.
Stop this!
As an adult, you can't just do as you please!
Why are you crying?
Because I refuse to accept her getting remarried.
Why don't you tell her, "don't joke around"?
Nakanaide boku ga iru kara Don't cry, because I'm here
Nakanaide Don't cry
Kimi no soba ni iru kara Because I'm here beside you
Kino made no kurushimi wa The pains you felt until yesterday
Kimi to boku no homotsu ni shiyou yo Let's you and I make those our treasure
Kizutsuite ushinatta kako kara Of the past where you were hurt and lost
Moichido dake Just one more time
Futari de tachimukaou Let's confront it together
Mo boku mo kimi mo ato modori Because you and I both
Dekinai no da kara Can't go back there anymore
Kimi ga nagashita namida no bun dake By the amount of tears you've shed
Futari de shiawase o Let's go grab
Tsukami ni yukou Some happiness for the both of us
Kimi no hitomi no naka ni boku ga iru kai Am I there in your eyes?
Boku no hitomi no naka ni ha You will always live
Itsumo kimi ga ikite iru Here in my eyes
...Sore ga mirai sa That is the future
Mirai sa The future
