Kodocha (こどものおもちゃ)

That rumor that I love you

is true, yes it is.

You can't ignore it either.

Whether you're awake or asleep,

please don't be embarrassed.

Is it a sin if I sneak into your heart

by ridding you...

...of your other love?

At sunset,

when the children go home,

Today's incident is burning love!

You can tell it accurately.

7 O'CIock News!

Please, our relationship...

Please don't blame it on the true kiss

In a city without light,

let's burn the fire of love.

Don't be so easy going

The existence is a mistake

You're asking for something not there.

30

I'm Sana Kurata, 11 years old.

I'm an elementary school girl with a pimp

Mama! Why didn't you wake me up earlier!?

Five minutes even? You could have done that!

Now I'm late for school and everything...

If you sleep well, you grow well.

If you oversleep, you'll grow more.

Good morning, Sana.

But you're gone.

Sana and Mama's Breakfast

Alright!

Good morning, Shimura-san.

Good morning, Sana.

I wonder why I oversleep every morning.

I'm already late

so please let me go!!

I don't care if you're tardy or not,

...but I'm not nice enough to let you go

without eating your breakfast.

Ready to eat...

You don't have to hurry.

School isn't going anywhere.

You may go.

Good morning, Sana-chan. Nice weather, huh?

Good morning, Rei-kun.

I'm really in deep deep trouble cuz I woke up

and looked at the clock and it was already 8:30

...and made me eat my breakfast and now I'm even later!

I'm really angry...

I'll drive you to school.

Oh, Rei-kun! You're just the nicest guy in the world!

Love you love you love you!!!

This handsome young man

is my boyfriend and my pimp.

Let's go, Rei-kun!

Mama, I'm going now!

Drive safely but recklessly!

...And that's my Mama.

She's a famous writer...

and Aoki Award winner!

Thanks

Rei-kun's careful driving

Rei-kun, you're going so slow! You're going really slow!

I could just WALK faster than this!

Sana-chan, the safety is really the most important

It's too slow

It is my duty

to get you to school safely for certain.

Rei-kun...

Hey! Kindergartners are passing you...

I love you!

Dangerous! You're so considerate of me!

So you drive it slowly! Now let's go!

I know we're lovers

I trust with you

Now let's go!

Drive me as slowly and as carefully as you want!

Dangerous

Thank you! Rei-kun

We're here safely

No, problem... just doing my job.

Oh, Sana-chan... This afternoon

there's a live broadcast of Child's Toy after school...

I'm sure you remember this, right?

So I'll pick you up then.

Okay!

Right, let me explain something to you now

Back when Sana was little, Sana's mom...

made herjoin a theatrical company called Komawari.

Things progressed and now she is a very popular young actress...

starring in a hit TV show

called Child's Toy.

Hey! You two cut it out! Quit kissing!

Cut cut cut CUT!!!

It was fine until now, but...

It was fine until now...

I'm in Grade 6

We changed classes...

a few weeks ago

Now, this class REALLY has problems...

See what I mean?

Stop it everyone!

Put those desks back into their rows!

Class is supposed to have started already!

You see,

the boys started teasing the teacher...

and they're getting worse and worse everyday.

Jeez, she's crying again. How can such a cry baby expect to be a teacher?

Sana-chan!

It's happening again,

and it's getting worse!

Have you seen how behind we are in our lessons?

It's hard to stand on a whole class

Akito Hayama, This is the guy

who started it all

and is controlling all these thugs.

What a devil!

Where is my desk?

Oh, here it is...

Oh, good morning, Hayama.

Boy, you look like you ate some rotten fruit,

which seems to be normal for you.

You may as well be wearing one of those barf-face masks. How are you today?

WHY YOU!

Well, this is MY desk,

so get your stinky feet off it. Make your hired thugs here cut it out!

Don't make noisy

All of this is your fault you know...

Teacher! I have a question about last night's homework.

Because I had to leave early for work.

I couldn't understand part of it

Huh? What part, Sana-chan?

This part... Three bracket subtract the trigona

The bracket's put off, right?

And two tortoises, then...

Ow! Teacher! Teacher! My stomach hurts!

Here, here... Teacher!

Hey! Hey! I need help with this one too.

Come on, come on, please help me with these stupid things!

It's obvious that they're all faking it.

Don't care about them

Look

Really?

Then I hope you can... from this page

What's that?

What? Then...

Pain, pain, go away!

You guy!

Don't cry, Mitsuya-sensei!

Don't cry

Ahh, you moron...

Teacher, we're all fine now!

HEY!! Shut up!

I can hear you down the hall!

Here comes Mitsuya-sensei's boyfriend!

They've been going steady for a LONG time!

You gotta pull yourself together!

But...

but they...

Do you little monsters really think you can get away with this?

Yeah! Yeah! Let them have it, sensei!

This is a class, not a party! You sh...

You are in grade six

You have to go to class

Hey, what's wrong?

What's going on? What?

What is it? Why are you grinning?

Come on, tell me! Tell me!

What, is something wrong?

Come on! What is it? What's with that reaction?

What? Did he find their weak spot?

I can't take this anymore!

WAIT! Where are you going??

What in the world?

What's going on?

What's going on?

What's going on?

WHAT'S GOING ON?!?!

Live Child's Toy

DANGIT!

This really really pisses me off!!

I can't stand this! Why me!?! Why me!?

Ever since 6th grade started,

life there has been HELL!!!

It is incredible

This is the dressing room

for the kids starring

in the TV show Child's Toy.

Everyone is extremely nervous...

Maybe not.

That devil Akito Hayama!

He's responsible

for this whole thing!

Uh, Suzi-san, is this how I'm supposed to look today on the show?

Sorry, Sana-chan, but you move around too much!

Rei-kun? What are you doing?

Sana-chan: This week!

Sana-chan, your manager sure is cute.

Boy, is he good looking.
