RE-MAIN

Where am I?

Why am I in the water?

What's that? A ball?

Huh? What is this? It makes no sense.

Huh? What? What the--?!

...and you know what the teacher said?

"Kiyomizu won't know, but let's hear her answer."

Isn't that awful? I couldn't believe it!

Then again, I really didn't know how to answer.

Whoops! I've gotta go shopping!

Onion sprouts are cheap today.

Well, see you tomorrow!

Doc! My brother! My brother--!

That day...

...I finally woke after 203 days of sleep.

I'm told that I played water polo for three years in junior high.

I totally can't remember, but apparently, I was an incredible player.

We won a national tournament in winter of my third year.

The Momotaro Cup even allowed high school freshmen, so that's pretty sweet.

I guess my mom came to cheer me on, but we got in a car crash heading home.

It was an awful accident that left me in bad shape.

I was unconscious for half a year plus three weeks.

And when I finally woke up, I'd lost three years of memories.

"Episode 1: Sorry, Who Are You?"

"Episode 1: Sorry, Who Are You?"

I can't remember a single thing about my life in junior high.

I can't remember a single thing about my life in junior high.

It's like I'm back in 6th grade, so that's a weird feeling.

My mom, dad, and Asumi look a bit older.

And Asumi's so big now! Her being in junior high, she's like my elder!

Well?

Hmm?

Have you remembered anything?

Uh, not yet.

I see.

Well, no rush. The doc said we should be patient.

No worries!

Yup.

I don't need to remember.

I'm just glad to be alive.

-My memories don't matter as much.

--Excuse me! --My memories don't matter as much.

They're here!

Come in!

It's Minato!

U-Um...

S-Sorry! Did that hurt?

We're just so excited!

That's not it...

Sorry... Who are you?

It's your water polo team from junior high.

Oh...

Yeah?

That's very kind of you.

This is Advisor Bizen.

Hello.

It's been a while.

You really don't know who we are?! After all we've been through?!

Relax, Momo.

We were "Shogaku's Elite Four"!

We won Nationals!

You've gotta remember that, right?!

I'm sorry.

"4 Months Later"

Hasn't changed much in three years.

Three years isn't that long of a time.

I guess.

I've changed more than anything. I'm 20 cm taller and my face looks different.

It's so weird.

After four months of rehab and stuff, I finally returned to home sweet home.

"Memory Shop Kiyomizu" "Autumn Silver Week Sale!" "Shop Online!"

We live at my dad's shop, the terribly named "Memory Shop Kiyomizu."

It's a souvenir shop in Kurashiki Bikan that mainly sells jeans, plus other junk.

I'm home.

Well, this place hasn't changed a whole lot.

Huh? What?! Kamekichi?!

Yup.

Wha--?! I remember him being just this big!

Now he's the shop mascot.

Yeah? You've grown so much!

Huh?

Wait! Did that thing sell?! Did someone actually buy it?!

Whoa! It's still here!

"Masterpeace" "500 yen"

It's "art" I threw together in 4th grade that I'd hoped someone might buy.

It's "art" I threw together in 4th grade that I'd hoped someone might buy.

Of course it hasn't. Nobody even looks at it.

That's bullshit. Tons of people buy junk on vacation.

You're still as dumb as ever.

Hey! Hmm?

That's a relief.

Thank goodness.

I sure missed your comedy duo.

We're not a duo, Mom!

I'm sorry, Minato.

Whatever. I don't take offense.

If I hadn't gotten in that accident, you wouldn't have--

That's why you're sorry? Let's drop the doom and gloom!

The Kiyomizu house is a happy place! Cheer up!

Yeah!

It's okay! Everything will go back to normal!

Right!

Seeing my mom trying her best to smile, I wanted to act cool.

That settles it! To make things normal again, I'll get back into it!

I'll play water polo again!

I'll be a champion in no time at all!

Having said that...

This photo doesn't even feel real. And what weird hats.

"Water Polo Rules Book" "Water Polo Skills & Training"

I guess I really did play water polo.

"Water Polo Rules Book"

"Water Polo Rules Book"

What's this old book?

"Remain. One type of rule violation in water polo.

Refers to receiving the ball within two meters of the opponent's goal.

'Remain offsides' in the sense of remaining near the goal."

I totally don't get it!

Dude... Check out my body.

No way! I can't do it!

It's nuts how much muscle I lost while sleeping half a year!

I'll just tell Mom, "Sorry! No water polo for me!"

The sooner I tell her, the less it'll hurt! Yup!

Could you help me pick out a present for my dad?

Of course.

Just ask and we'll order it for you.

"Ebisu Shopping Street towards Ohara Museum of Art"

What to do... This sucks.

I shouldn't have said I'd play again.

"Mikoshiba Books"

Hmm?

"Featured in this month's Swimming!" "Shogakukan Senior High School Water Polo Club Interhigh Champs"

"Support our local team!"

"Featured in this month's Swimming!" "Shogakukan Senior High School Water Polo Club Interhigh Champs"

"From 'Elite Four' to 'Three Musketeers'"

"From 'Elite Four' to 'Three Musketeers'"

"These three freshmen starters at the prestigious Shogakukan High School

won Interhighs in their first year."

"From 'Elite Four' to 'Three Musketeers' These 'Three Musketeers' are Riku Momosaki, Keita Kakihana, and Koki Toguchi."

We were "Shogaku's Elite Four"!

I give up. The difference in skill is way too much-- Huh?

"Chinu Kawakubo"

What a cutie! Chinu, huh?

Whoa! C-Can I help you?

Minato-senpai! I've been looking for you since Asumi said you're back!

Sorry, I don't remember you.

What? Even me?! It's Eitaro Oka!

Uh, no?

The same guy you said had rockin' glasses, Eitaro!

No?

The guy who thought it was "taxicrab" and made you laugh!

Still no.

No way! You're the one who showed me the joys of water polo!

You taught me the eggbeater!

You've lost me.
