How to Make a Website From Scratch

We have a home page now,

but if people aren't comin'...

We should make it more flashy.

Nah, that would make it harder to look at.

Banana Gifts

Is that a student in the next bed over?

Oh, because they're talking about home pages?

Yeah, they're in high school.

Oh?

To my eyes, that youthful determination is blindingly bright.

Is that how it is?

That's how it is.

What? That's not beginner stuff!

No, really. Read it yourself and see!

Youth, huh?

Episode 6: "Tokyo Tower"

You woke up?

This is my first time looking out at Tokyo in two weeks...

Souta-san! We're in big trouble!

We're right up against the deadline!

Please come back!

I have to make a decision about what comes next.

Souta-san, welcome back!

We've been waiting for you!

Now we should be able to weather the storm.

This is great.

By the way, who's the kid?

Oh, well, that's a long story.

So cute!

He hid!

I'm so sorry. It was one thing after another...

This is a souvenir from Kagawa.

Oh! A souvenir?

Kamado

Mikko-chan, is the reception room in use today?

Oh, right. The development team was up all night trying to hit deadlines.

They're all dead.

Ah... I thought so.

Tawara.

Come with me.

Yes, sir.

Poco, wait here, okay?

I'll be right back.

Souta! Souta!

Souta-kun has to talk with the scary old man, so stay here, okay?

You must be hot in that hood.

Let's take that off.

Poco, leave your hood up, okay?

Ah, he ran!

No, no!

Souta!

In Use

You want to extend your vacation?

Yes, sir.

What are you trying to do?

It's exactly as I just explained, sir.

I can't just abandon Poco—

I don't get it.

I don't get it at all!

I realize that you must have a lot going

through your mind after your father's death.

What I don't understand is why you have to take in a friend's kid!

Even so, it's just, well...

Something I feel I have to do.

Just how delicate of a heart do you have?

Are you naïve? Are you a vegetable? Huh?

What do you plan on doing with the kid?

Like I said, at least for now, he'll live with me—

Caring for a kid isn't the same as keeping a dog or cat, you know.

What's more, it's not even your kid.

And they're expensive, too.

Yes, sir.

I need you.

The other members feel the same way.

Over the last ten years, you've done great work.

And you're a creator at heart, aren't you?

What's changed since you decided to come to Tokyo after high school?

Souta-san!

Welcome back, Souta-san!

Souta!

Hiroshi!

What's with the kid?

Hiroshi, put him down.

Souta!

Oh my God! Is he yours?

Souta! Souta!

An accident? A surprise kid?

Argh! Quiet down!

This isn't a nursery school! Enough!

He's a gorilla.

A gorilla...

Hey, so what were you two talking about in here, anyway?

Oh, uh... Actually...

He says he wants to take some time off to look after the kid.

Huh?

No way!

But Souta-san came back when I called him.

There's no way that's true.

Right, Souta-san?

I'm sorry, Hiroshi.

I can't come back to work yet.

What do you mean?

Souta-san, didn't you come back to work on

the project you're teamed up with me on?

My situation's changed.

What are you saying?

Is it because of this kid? Is it your fault?

Souta...

I'm gonna go toss him in the Sumida River!

Hiroshi, stop it!

It was just a joke.

Well, just think it over one more time.

Hamada-san!

Thank you so much for everything you taught me about home pages.

Is that counter going up?

Yes!

And today, we got our first...

We got our first comment!

Oh?

We'd been putting up the fishing spot along with the fish rubbings.

The commenter said they'd try fishing at the same spot sometime, and...

They said the home page was easy to read.

That's great.

Yeah!

I never knew that other people

could find joy in something that I created.

I'm really happy about it!

I'm sure you are.

When your leg's better,

you should visit Tokyo sometime.

I'll show you around.

I will!

Next time we meet, you can call me "Dahama."

Cool! Like an industry name!

Tawara.

Yes, sir?

Go home for the day.

But I'm still not...

I want to at least finish everything that's on a deadline.

I don't mean you. The kid's had enough.

Think of how the kid must feel,

being dragged around at your convenience.

Thank you.

I'll go home.

What's wrong? You're not going to eat?

You look pale.

Are you okay?

You didn't eat lunch today, either.

Poco, use your fork to—

Excuse me! Check, please!

Poco, are you okay?

Think of how the kid must feel,

being dragged around at your convenience.

I'm sorry.

I'll go draw the bath.

We'll go to bed early.

Poco!

Poco... Poco!

He's burning up...

The hospital!

No, we can't...

If they see him like this...

Oh, yeah! Nakajima!

Nakajima will know what to do!

The customer you have called is not available.

Please leave a message after the tone.

Stay calm. Stay calm...

What do I do?

What can I...

Souta...
