"Saturday Drama"
Can you forgive your mother?
I can't forgive her.
"Ocean Overseas Student - Ando Moeka" But I want to see her.
"Ocean Overseas Student - Takaaki Yuya" I want you to approve of me again someday.
I think I can make something of myself here on this island.
"Ocean Overseas Student - Tada Shoji" Shoji was an unmanageable rowdy at his previous school.
"Ocean Overseas Student - Aoi Tsubasa" And even Tsubasa has only gradually...
...recovered enough to talk to people.
Overseas students are this island's treasure.
They can't be herded along by what the adults want!
I don't understand them.
Eh?
"Mama's Birthday - With Hiromi" A parent is supposed...
...to think more of their children than of themselves, aren't they?
Just say it.
"Mitakara Middle/High School - Teacher Natsumura Chihiro"
"Don't joke around!"
"July"
1, 2, 3.
Look, they're all cleaned up.
You'll wear them?
"Island Middle School Student Hino Yoshiomi"
1, 2, 3.
Yes.
Heiwa Fansubs Presents: "Shima no Sensei" "Teacher's Island"
Episode 3 (of 6 total) "Island's Treasure"
Go! Go! You can do it!
Shoji! Kazuhiro!
Go all out!
Yoshiomi! Easy win! Easy win!
Okay!
Go! You can do it!
Both of you do your best!
Kazuhiro!
Just a little more! A little more!
All right!
He did it!
Yuya-kun, you're incredible!
Yoshiomi-kun, do your best, too!
Let's do this again before summer vacation starts.
White team...
...do your best next time around.
Sensei.
- What is it? - I want to change teams next time.
It's because I get foot cramps when I swim.
Isn't that something only grade school kids get?
You're a child of this island, aren't you?
Don't talk that way, you two.
That's right. You should be telling Yoshitomi to do his best instead.
You're his older sister, aren't you? You should know that.
"Island Middle School Student - Hino Sakura" I know, but...
Yoshitomi! Since your foot is giving you so much trouble...
...let's have Tsubasa take your place for the next match.
Eh? Me?
Nose-sensei...
Sensei, don't you know?
What is it?
I'm very sorry.
It would have been better if I had told you about it before.
An accident, huh?
It seems he's been brooding about it quite a bit.
His mother was thrown from a ship and his father, in an effort to save her...
...jumped into the ocean as well, and...
So Tsubasa would be afraid of the ocean, wouldn't he?
If he could overcome it a little at a time, that would be best though.
That's true.
- Doin' okay? - Yes, I'm doing well.
- So long. - Yes.
Where's your "Thank you for protecting me"?
Thank you.
Will you squeal to Ojii-san?
That "I was attacked."
Still...
...that'd be bad, wouldn't it?
Overseas students are this island's treasure.
If there was any kind of uproar...
...overseas students might not come anymore.
And then this island would be finished.
I won't tell.
Right.
Then let's do some kick boxing.
I think he is handsome, though.
Really?
Nose-sensei needs to get a little bit more of a grip on himself though...
- I'm home. - I'm home.
Ah, looks delicious.
- Chi-chan! - Eh?
Look at this.
Eh?
Eh! Fumi-chan is getting married?!
Yeah.
"Invitation - Hanyu Kazuhiro and Eto Fumi" Auspicious, isn't it?
Who's Fumi-chan?
An overseas student who came a year after I did. She lived with the Council Chief here.
Ehh...
You'll just trouble them by drinking too much.
'Bout that.
This ain't no case for drinking.
Eh? You're only going for the reception?
They've asked me to give the speech.
Haggu, that's great.
Since it's Fumi, you won't run out of things to talk about.
Eh? Really?
Unlike you Moeka, Fumi was a little terror.
Her hair was gold colored...
...she wore make-up...
...and she smoked cigarettes.
But then, after obstinately and patiently raising her...
...by the time she graduated, she was completely respectable.
Ehh? Incredible!
Council Chief, won't you cry?
Chi-chan, when you get married, Bunzo-san here'll cry up a storm.
Right, Chi-chan?
Dunno. I wonder.
Say, Bunzo-san.
Huh?
Could you help me think through the speech?
Eh? You should think about that on your own.
Please. I'm bad at these things.
It's not like it's an exam, you know.
No one is good at those things.
Yes?
It's me, Moeka.
Come in.
What's up?
I just had something I wanted to ask.
Yeah.
Something about your studies?
Sensei, could it be you have a child?
I saw a photo.
Ah, I'm sorry. I don't mean that I wanted a look...
But after what we were talking about earlier, it's been on my mind...
I'm sorry...
...for keeping quiet about it.
Then...
That photo is...
...my...
...daughter.
Where is she now?
She's living together with my ex-husband.
I see.
Aren't you lonely for her?
I'm fine. It's been 2 years already since then...
Besides...
...since my daughter's a Daddy's girl anyhow...
...I think she's already... forgotten all about me.
- Aki-nii. - Eh?
It's about Sensei...
Eh? Sensei...?
You mean Chihiro?
Yeah.
Gen-jii!
- Good morning! - 'Morning!
Yer as cheerful as ever, Chi!
Yes!
- Good morning. - 'Morning!
I heard from Moeka.
Is that right...
She'd feel uncomfortable keeping quiet about that, too, wouldn't she?
I'm sorry.
I'll make sure to speak to everyone about it.
Well, divorce happens a lot these days.
Still...
For a mother not to take charge of her young daughter is...
...something that just isn't done, right?
Um...
- Akiyoshi-san, the truth is... - Ah, that's okay, that's okay!
There was some reason for it, right?
Since you've kept quiet about it up until now...
Anyhow, you don't have to talk about it.
More importantly...
You aren't going to meet your daughter anymore?
I guess you could always go back to Tokyo and live together again...
I...
...will never see her again.
Is... that right.
Yes.
When...
...our child is born, I think Namiko and me will leave the house.
Namiko won't be up for taking care of overseas students, either.
And I want my new business to grow much larger.
That stubborn Dad of mine...
He says he won't give up being a foster parent no matter what...
...so I thought if Chihiro could be with him for a long time, that'd be a big help.
Is that so...
I'm being selfish, right?
Right?
- Good morning. - 'Morning!
'Morning!
Is Yoshiomi-kun taking the day off?
Ah. Is it because I said that terrible thing about him yesterday?
That's likely.
Eh!?
Sakura-san, what happened?
Hmm... Seems his stomach was in pain and he didn't eat breakfast, either.
It might have been that cold ocean.
I'll try asking about his condition after this.
Stand!
Bow!
"Welcome to Mitakara Farms"
"Mitakara Farms Order Data List"
- Haggu! Orders have come in! - Yes.
I got 29 orders.
And my place got 47 orders, too.
Now, now. I'll print out the orders and distribute them in turn.
Here.
Because I will arrange for the shipping...
...all of you please package your goods carefully.
Yeah!
We'll do it carefully!
- Here. - Thanks!
This is all thanks to the tons of publicity you gave us, Hashino-san.
Because it's important that the first experience go successfully.
That makes everyone increasingly motivated.
How is it?
Akiyoshi-nii!
Ryotaro! Take a look at this!
It's a huge success, right!
No...
- We need to talk. - Eh?
It's about my son, Yoshiomi.
Oh.
You kicked Yoshiomi?
Answer him.
Who squealed?
Shoji-kun, we want to know the truth.
It was just in fun. It wasn't on purpose.
Then there's no doubt but that you kicked Yoshiomi, right?
He... didn't mind it...
He did mind it!
He's got bruises up and down his back.
What you did was use violence.
That's a crime nowadays.
Namiko-san, such words are...
But it's true, isn't it?!
Tomorrow...
...you will apologize properly to Yoshiomi.
Got that?
"Middle School 1, Year 2"
Sensei's late, isn't she?
You come to school even after doing such a thing.
You guys were making fun of Yoshiomi, too.
You pretended to be his friend while kicking him in the shadows.
That's different from some coward!
Whaa!
Are you okay?
What's happened?
I'm sorry. I'll do it.
- Principal. - Eh?
Um...
This is... bullying, isn't it?
Eh?
Bullying?
Such a thing as bullying at this tiny school...
Anyhow...
Let's just wait for the report from Natsumura-sensei, shall we?
Yes.
Yoshiomi.
Chihiro has come.
Don't want to see her.
Yoshiomi-kun, I'm sorry. For not realizing what was going on.
Sensei, you're allies with the overseas students, aren't you?
Both island children and overseas children are all the same.
You're wrong!
If overseas students are the island's treasure, they're more important than other children, right?
Shoji told him that...
Not being able to talk to anyone about it...
He's been enduring it all this time.
We've got trouble!
What's the matter?
That Ryotaro came and told me we should abolish the overseas student program!
Abolish it?
He wants to gather all the islanders together this weekend to discuss it!
- We won't abolish it! - Yeah!
Well, this might be a good opportunity for it.
Akiyoshi.
The school right now is unbalanced.
More than half of it are overseas students or children of the teachers.
That can't be helped, now can it?
With only island children, the school would disappear!
Council Chief...
If it's for the revitalization of the island, there are other methods.
You mean the "Mitakara Farms"?
Yeah, that's right.
What can be born from letting the island people compete against one another?
It's a full-on success.
Without the support of everyone pulling together, this island can't live.
You'll only break this island.
My goal is for a new island!
I give up...
Could you go on home?
But...
Yoshitomi is also saying he doesn't want to see you.
Even if you do apologize...
The emotional scars on Yoshitomi's heart from being bullied won't disappear.
Not everyone is a gutsy guy like you are.
This is a drawing Shoji-kun made for the art class.
A lonely drawing, isn't it?
I called his previous school and heard from the teacher who was in charge of him there.
That he was...
...quite the violent person?
It...
...seems that before that...
...he had encountered a terrible case of bullying himself.
Eh?
He was completely isolated by everyone in his class.
And so from his own injuries...
...he hurts someone else.
With the sense of superiority he gets from tormenting someone weaker...
...he covers up his own loneliness.
But by doing such things...
...he only makes himself even more lonely...
Then...
...we'll have to sympathize with him, won't we?
Of course.
He cannot overcome it by himself...
...and so he'll only end up repeating the same thing.
"Hiromi!"
"Mama! Mama!"
"Mama, I'm sorry!"
Okay, Tsubasa!
Let's get accustomed to the water. Here, here!
Okay, Tsubasa!
Come out this far!
I'm scared! I'm scared to.
I figured you'd quit.
I'll do it!
But... I'm scared.
Okay, Tsubasa!
Close your eyes.
Yeah.
Listen. This isn't the ocean.
This is a bath!
- A bath? - Yeah!
That's one cold bath.
Never mind that, Yuya! Bring him out.
Wanna do it? Let's do it! It'll be okay.
I'm scared.
Okay, Tsubasa.
- It'll be okay. We'll take it slow. - No way, I'm scared.
You'll be fine.
- Don't wanna! - It's okay.
Yuya, you bring him out here. This time...
Another scorcher today!
Then, shall we begin?
Yes.
Ehh...
When you're so busy...
...we've asked all of you to gather for...
You can skip the introductions, Council Chief.
I...
...think we should reset the overseas students system again.
Reset it?
We should abolish it.
Eh?
Well then... what about the overseas students we have currently?
We'll tell their parents what the situation is...
...and have them return home after the first semester.
No! What am I and Mai supposed to do?
We don't have a place we can go back to.
And what about Tsubasa, who doesn't have any near relatives?
Packing him off to relatives he's never even seen... I'd feel sorry for him!
Then you're okay with what happened to Yoshitomi?
Ryotaro. I will strictly discipline Shoji.
I will never let him behave violently again.
That's right.
Asking to abolish the overseas program over this matter...
...is over-exaggerating things!
Council Chief...
It's because you flattered the overseas students by saying they're the island's treasure...
...that Shoji felt he could push things this far!
By letting Shoji get a pass on this...
...it's as good as saying you blame Yoshitomi...
...for being threatened!
It's true that for the sake of having the school go on...
...we only took in overseas students so we could raise the population of children here...
Perhaps that isn't necessary anymore.
Akiyoshi-san, do you favor abolishing it?
Rather than calling it "abolishing"...
How about calling it "a pause"?
We run a proper investigation on them and turn down any problem children.
I object.
I also... object.
Like Yuya-kun, some of the children do have problems, but then change here on the island.
Because that's what the overseas student program is all about.
What whitewash.
Eh?
Even among you teachers, there are some who want to close this school, aren't there?
Off an island that doesn't even have a convenience store...
...aren't there some who want to be transferred?
There aren't!
Bunzo-san.
Would it really be a problem if we didn't get the subsidies?
Ryotaro, you're going too far.
I...
I just want Yoshitomi...
...to go to the school the way it was before!
All right.
Let me...
...take care of this matter.
I'm okay in the bath though.
Is this Sensei's field?
It was the field of...
...an old lady named Fukie-san who died shortly before you came to this island, Shoji-kun.
Then why are you taking care of it, Sensei?
It was treasured by Fukie-san...
...so I can't just let it go.
Ah... Sensei, you aren't fit for that.
In that case, come help out a little.
No way. It's hot and a pain in the butt.
Really?
In that case, never mind!
Ah, he's doing it, he's doing it.
See that? Did you see that? He did it!
You did it!
Tsubasa-kun, do your best!
Ah, it's Sensei! Chihiro-sensei's come.
Tsubasa, there!
That guy...
How did he get into the ocean so suddenly...
I think...
...Tsubasa-kun trying to overcome the things he's afraid of is admirable.
Okay...
Sensei.
What is it?
Are you picking up garbage this time?
Because wouldn't it be sad if this beautiful beach was dirty?
Everyone should do that.
Then...
Please take care of it, Shoji-kun.
Hey, be more thorough!
That one, too.
That one there, too.
Oi! Oi!
- Tsubasa can dive for 2 seconds now! - Oh, really?
Let's try. And, go!
One, two... He did it again!
Here.
You did it! That's incredible!
Okay.
Ah... delicious!
I'm exhausted.
But you feel good, don't you?
Sensei, why do you work so hard like this?
Huh?
Could it be it's related to your child?
Moeka said, "it's a secret," but she talking about it with everybody.
I see.
You're separated and are living apart, aren't you?
I...
...won't be seeing my child...
...Hiromi, ever again.
Why not?
I...
...raised my hand against Hiromi.
You hit her?
Yes.
What's more, not just once or twice.
No way! Sensei couldn't...
One day...
...Hiromi just wouldn't stop crying...
...so I locked her in a storage compartment one evening.
"Hiromi!"
"Mama, I'm sorry!"
"Mama, I'm really sorry! Mama!"
"Mama!"
"Mama, I'm really sorry!"
"Mama!"
I wonder just how long I had shut her in there?
After reflecting on things, I opened the door.
"Hiromi?"
Hiromi was senseless.
"Hiromi!"
"Hiromi! Hiromi! Hiromi!"
Hiromi was taken away in an ambulance...
She was saved, but...
I was told they had found bruises on Hiromi's body...
"Oi!"
"Have you been abusing Hiromi?!"
"How about it?! Say something!"
"Divorce Registration" From the start, my husband and I didn't get along...
...so we decided to break up...
"Hiromi. Do you want to be with Papa or Mama?"
"I..."
"...Papa..."
When I was in Middle School, I came to this island...
...because I had become a nuisance to my mother.
I thought this while looking at Hiromi's face.
"It's because I wasn't loved."
And then...
...I just couldn't stop my hand from coming out.
That's why...
...even if I want to see her, I can't see...
...Hiromi.
At a time when I had lost everything...
...and was all alone...
...Bunzo-ojiichan told me to come to the island.
When I was all alone back in my Middle School days...
...this island...
This island's people had saved me.
And so, once again...
Everyone was unchanged...
...and welcomed me warmly.
I couldn't erase what I had done...
...but here on this island...
...I was given a chance to overcome my past.
That's why...
...for the sake of this island...
...and the people of this island...
...I feel I can do anything and everything for them.
Yes, yes! That's good! That's good!
"Pochi"
- Good morning. - Ah... 'morning.
Ala? Where is everyone?
They all went flying out first thing this morning.
Even though it's Sunday?
Yeah. Yuya and Moeka and Tsubasa were saying. "Let's do it!"
Ah...
Shoji went out carrying a garbage bag.
- A garbage bag? - Yeah.
Ah...
You know why?
Probably.
Where's Akiyoshi-san?
He and Father are at the Assembly Hall.
Meeting about that matter?
Yeah...
I wonder what they'll do?
If the school goes away, that would be a problem, right...
The abolition of the overseas student program.
I won't accept any answer other than that.
Everyone...
Since I'll read this out now, could you listen for a little while?
It's the speech I'll be giving at the wedding ceremony I'm going to.
Why do that right now?
If you want to practice your speech...
...you can take your time and do it after the meeting.
Now, don't say that.
Excuse me.
This speech is for someone who graduated from this island as an overseas student.
It's for Eto Fumi.
Ah, Fumi, um... That naughty girl is getting married?
That's true...
Then, I'm reading it.
"Fumi..."
"...congratulations on your marriage."
"Fumi came to Mitakara-jima 19 years ago as an overseas student."
"During the 3 years she was there, I acted as her foster parent."
"For the sake of the school's survival..."
"...I absolutely couldn't let this overseas student go back home."
"At first..."
"...I tried to persuade her by using only that."
You're still the same as you were back then.
"But..."
"...it wasn't with such mercenary thoughts in mind..."
"...that I was took charge of someone else's child."
"Every morning I would wake up the oversleeping Fumi..."
"...and take her to school."
"Because the way she ate fish was poor..."
"...I loosened her body at every meal..."
"...and corrected her in how she was holding her chopsticks."
"As we each always had a lineup of what to watch on TV..."
"...it was a scramble every day..."
"...over whether to watch baseball or singing programs channels."
"And anyhow, since Fumi would annoy the teachers..."
"...and other people of the island..."
"...I often had to go and bow my head to them."
"Still..."
"...even so, I was happy."
"By crying together..."
"...laughing together..."
"...and standing up to sadness..."
"...without my realizing it, Fumi went from being an overseas student..."
"...to being my treasured child."
"One day, after just about a year..."
"...Fumi's gold hair was back to black again..."
"...and she even came to show me her face without make-up on."
"Fumi..."
"...embarrassed, said..."
"'It's because...'"
"'...I'm an island child.'"
"That's what she said."
"I will never forget..."
"...Fumi's face from that time."
"Everyone of Mitakara-jima..."
"...is pleased over Fumi's marriage."
"Fumi is a child of the island..."
"...and the people of the island..."
"...are Fumi's family."
"Please be sure, along with your wonderful husband..."
"...to come and visit us on the island."
"May you ever..."
"...be happy."
I've forgotten something important.
Ryotaro.
Shoji...
...did something terrible to Yoshitomi.
I am truly sorry about that.
Bunzo-san...
Yoshitomi is an island child.
And so is Shoji.
Before what to do with the overseas student program...
...we should first discuss what means...
...all of us can take to save those children.
Ryotaro, please!
Ryo...
"Today, from 2 o'clock this afternoon..."
"...the Red/White swimming relay class will take place."
"The children of Mitakara will be swimming with all their might."
"So come and cheer for them!"
Here!
Yes!
- Hino Sakura! - Here!
Captain!
What's all the fuss over?
Take a look. At who has today's leading role.
Eh?
White Team.
Aoi!
Here!
Wait... This is impossible for Tsubasa.
How long has he even worn a wetsuit?
I wonder.
- The anchor will be Tada! - Yes!
Well then, let's have the first set of swimmers come forward!
- You can do it! - Go all out!
Go! Go!
Tsubasa, you can do it!
Tsubasa, don't worry; have confidence!
Will Tsubasa really be okay?
Believe in that boy.
Let's go!
He really did get into the ocean.
Tsubasa...
Tsubasa!
Captain!
Tsubasa!
You can do it! Tsubasa, you can do it!
Tsubasa-kun, just a little more!
Just a little more and you'll be half-way! You can do it!
Tsubasa!
Do your best to keep going!
Even I pulled myself up from being no good!
You can do it!
You can do it, Tsubasa!
Tsubasa, you can do it! It's okay, it's okay!
Tsubasa! It's okay even if you don't win!
Do your best after practicing so hard!
Ahh... I can't take it!
- I'm gonna go save him, too! - Stop that, you fool!
Okay, Tsubasa!
Tsubasa, are you okay? Tsubasa.
- Tsubasa! Tsubasa! It's okay! - Tsubasa! Tsubasa! Tsubasa!
Tsubasa-kun, you can do it!
- Go all out! Go all out! - Tsubasa! You can do it!
You can do it!
Tsubasa!
Yer a man!
Tsubasa!
You can do it!
Tsubasa!
Do your best!
Ryotaro...
Hang in there!
Come here to me, Tsubasa!
You can do it!
You can do it, Tsubasa!
Tsubasa, can you go?
Oh, Tsubasa...
You can do it!
Hang in there!
Tsubasa!
You can do it!
Hang in there!
Come!
Tsubasa! You can do it!
Hang in there!
You did your best, Tsubasa. You're great! You're really great!
Tsubasa, are you okay? You weren't scared?
When I heard everyone's voices, I wasn't scared.
I see.
Tsubasa!
You really did your best!
Sir, until Yoshitomi-kun comes out, I'll do my best.
Eh?
Because all the island children are players in the relay...
...there's no way I couldn't come, right?
You...
Is that why you went into the ocean?
When Yoshitomi...
...is able to go back to school...
...will you go swimming together with him again?
Yeah!
Um...
Yes?
This is still the middle of class...
Could I get the children back about now?
Ah, sorry about that.
You went and picked garbage off the beach before coming here, didn't you?
Yeah.
That's enough for today. Has something gotten into you?
Not really.
It's just because both Sensei and Tsubasa have been doing their best.
That's all it is.
Really?
Yeah.
"Welcome to Mitakara Farms"
Eh?
It spoiled?
Yeah.
It's because you mixed your vegetables with mine that they spoiled, isn't it?
It wasn't me!
No, no, no. Both of you, please wait a moment.
It's because I'm good at selling that you wrecked it, ain't it!
Tanaka-san!
Somehow Kya-kun, mine was...
Yoshioka-san.
Please sit down. Tanaka-san, just sit down, please. You, too, please!
Um, let's try talking this out...
Starting tomorrow, it will be summer vacation at last.
Some of you...
"Report Card - Hino Yoshitomi, Hino Sakura" ...will spend summer vacation on the island...
...and some of you will spend it off the island...
...but let's see all of you at full strength for the new semester.
Okay.
Tsubasa, you won't be lonely by yourself?
I'll be fine, I'll be fine.
Sensei...
Will it be okay for me to come back here again?
Of course it will!
You must come back. We'll be waiting, after all.
Yeah!
Take care!
- Tsubasa! - Take care!
Tsubasa! Bye-bye!
- We're going! - See you again!
- Buy me some souvenirs! - Yes!
Bye-bye!
Bye-bye, I'm going!
Bye-bye!
Take care!
"To Be Continued"
- Abuse? - I'm very sorry.
I knew it was a mistake when...
...I found out you were divorced because...
...you used violence against your child.
Episode 4: "A Wounded Heart"
This is gonna be a pretty bad one.
Sensei, do you really love children?
For me, when Hiromi was born, that was my happiest time.
- Help me! - Akiyoshi-san!
Nakanaide boku ga iru kara Don't cry, because I'm here
