Love can't stop!

It's like a burning fuse,

keeping me on tenterhooks.

Being in love is...

a circus.

a circus.

a circus.

Whenever I'm around you,

I always act like an idiot.

I can't be honest.

My heart's turned upside-down,

like a sad clown who hides his tears.

like a sad clown who hides his tears.

"I love you!" is just something...

"I love you!" is just something...

"I love you!" is just something...

"I love you!" is just something...

My heart is racing...

Love is like show time...

walking a tightrope.

My heart is fluttering.

A girl in love is like a circus.

Grandpa's dead! He's really dead!

An Interesting and Serious Ninja Appears!

I have returned...

This is the place where Saizou-sama and I first met...

Saizou-sama is on the other side of that mountain.

Sign: Iga Ueno

Old man Saizou sure is a pain in the ass.

You said it. Feels like he's still alive because he left us with his idiot of a grandson!

Idiot! If you say that, he'll wake up right here and now.

Scary! I wouldn't put it past old Saizou though.

D-Don't tell me... Saizou-sama...

Um, p-perhaps...

Is something wrong? You look a little pale.

This funeral is Igano Saizou-sama's?

Well, he got a rice cake stuck in his throat and died like an idiot.

Saizou-sama!

So, he's really dead...

Did you know old man Saizou?

He was my first love—No, I mean we were very good friends.

Fantastic! Could you do a eulogy for us?

A eulogy?

But Saizou-sama has a grandson—

Kabamaru? Not a chance! He's a moron.

A moron? Kabamaru?

Sign: Igano Saizou

The letter I received from you after fifty years of waiting...

My body was weak, so I left Tokyo and came out here to recuperate.

I met you, a descendant of the Iga ninjas,

when I was seventeen and you were twenty.

It was a short-lived but beautiful love.

H-Hey! What are you doing?!

Why, you!

That idiot! At his grandfather's funeral...

Let's grab him and beat him to a pulp!

That was Kagemaru-kun?

TL Note: Kagemaru means "shadow man," Kabamaru means "hippo man."

No, Kabamaru!

These rice cakes are delicious!

Hey, Kabamaru!

Hurry up and show yourself!

What are you doing?

Crap!

There's no way you can catch Kagemaru-kun like this!

Nope, this is enough to catch him.

See, he's coming.

W-Wait! Let me out!

What are you doing?!

What are you saying?

You don't even attend your own grandfather's funeral,

and then when you do turn up, you pilfer the rice cakes, you blockhead!

Shut up! Hurry and let me out!

S-Saizou-sama!

Wh-What? Who's this old lady?!

Y-You... You're...

I'm Igano Kabamaru!

You look exactly like Saizou-sama.

What should I do? I'm feeling faint...

Forget about that! Just hurry up and save me!

Okay.

Wh-What are you doing?

That's made of iron! You can't lift it!

No, if it's for Saizou-sama's grandson, then I can!

Thanks, Granny!

What's this old lady doing?!

Shut up!

Not attending your grandfather's funeral and then behaving like this...

Don't you have any pride as an Iga ninja?

An Iga ninja's pride, huh?

Grandpa always used to say that too.

See, I couldn't believe my ears when I heard he'd died. I thought they were all lying.

But once the funeral began,

every moment I have ever shared with my grandpa flashed in front of my eyes.

How sad...

You were so stricken with grief that you couldn't even come to his funeral.

Wh-What? Let me go!

No, I won't let go!

Now, cry your heart out and come with me to Tokyo!

That's not it! The reason I'm crying is...

You're crying because...?

I'm happy that Grandpa died!

That's why I'm fine. I've always longed to be on my own.

Why do I have to go to Tokyo?

What are you saying?

I have a letter from your grandpa telling me to take care of you.

I-I don't know anything about that!

Kabamaru, she came all the way out here, so go with her to Tokyo!

No!

There are lots of delicious foods in Tokyo.

Delicious foods?

There are also lots of cute girls!

Girls?

Tokyo is huge!

Unlike this small village, you can rampage to your heart's content in Tokyo!

Is that true, Granny?

Well, I guess...

Okay! Let's go to Tokyo.

Wait! I have to visit Saizou-sama's grave first!

Not a chance! What if he gets angry?

As if I'd care about that!

Saizou-san! Saizou-san!

They just ran on out of here, huh?

Let's go home.

Yeah.

Finally, the village will be peaceful.

Yeah, and our chickens will stop disappearing.

And our food!

My name is Ookubo Ran.

I am an old friend of your grandfather.

Your grandfather was a fine man.

Even though he knew how I felt about him,

he ignored my advances and focused on his training.

He ate the rice cakes that I made in such a refined manner.

That's a lie.

After I stole the village chief's son's lunch box,

and was about to eat fried shrimp for the first time...

W-Wow! Yay, yay, yay!

You fool! Feel the pain of the Iga ninja!

You're making me cry!

Cry all you want!

Crap, just thinking about it hurts my stomach...

Sorry, I didn't mean to bring up any painful memories for you...

N-No, that's not it. I'm... hungry.

That's true. You've been drowning in sorrow, so you can't help it.

We should arrive at the next train station soon.
