## Tsurezure Children Plus! One

**"Tsurezure Children Plus! One"** is a standalone bonus chapter of the *Tsurezure Children*  manga series. It features several subplots centered around various characters introduced in the first volume. It concludes with a Q&A section, where each character shares what comes to his/her mind when he/she sees the word "winter."

## Characters

* Ayane Matsuura
* Haruhiko Takase
* Saki Kanda
* Ryōko Kaji
* Masafumi Akagi
* Takurou Sugawara
* Chizuru Takano
* Noriko Yoshinaga
* Jun Furuya
* Yuki Minagawa
* Yuuko Mogami
* Saori Majima
* Kaho Shimizu

## Summary

Set just before the conclusion of volume 1, the chapter opens with Ayane watching Takase and Kanda from afar, deducing a confession between them. Noticing a rise in confessions lately, Ayane, inspired by the scene, ends the page by persuading herself to make her own confession.

The next few pages follow a small plotline between Akagi and Ryoko that focuses on Ryoko's inner turmoil in regards to why Akagi, the student council president, is going out with her. Eventually, Akagi figures out why she's so upset and straightforwardly tells her that he's going out with her because she's cute, leaving Ryoko visibly flustered.

The following pages centers on Takano and Sugawara's relationship and begins with Yoshinaga staring at Sugawara outside the window and then asking Takano how she feels about Sugawara. Takano is unsure of how to respond but before she can give a proper response, Yoshinaga comments that she finds Sugawara's seriousness "kinda cool." She then asks Takano if the rumor that she dumped Sugawara is true. Takano is surprised and then clarifies that she (wrongly) believes Sugawara hasn't confessed to her and that they aren't in a relationship with each other. Yoshinaga, relieved, then bashfully admits in the final panel that she likes Sugawara-kun.

At the same time as the girls' conversation, Takase teases Sugawara over the fact that he got "dumped," and tells him that everyone already knows about it, much to Sugawara's apparent dismay.

The final pages centers on Furuya and Minagawa's relationship. Furuya questions why Minagawa likes him because the two of them weren't acquainted prior to Minagawa's confession. Upon overhearing girls gossiping about how Minagawa is supposedly dating a college-aged man, he leaves the classroom but is spotted by Kanda on his way out. Later on, Kanda informs Minagawa, who clarifies that the man was just her brother. By the end of the chapter, the gossiping girls approach Furuya but before they can clarify their mistunderstanding, Furuya states "it's fine" as long as Minagawa's happy, leaving an eavesdropping Minagawa to blush in surprise.

In the last page, Minagawa teases Jun Furuya, who's deep in thought about her, and happily declares that he's "so serious!"

## Trivia

* This is the first Plus! chapter in the series.
* Each Plus! chapter features a Q&A section for each character introduced up until its release date.
* This chapter was first sold at Comiket 87 and is not a part of any of the volume releases.

* Webcomic

**"Spica"** is Chapter 5 of the *Tsurezure Children*  manga series. It is centred around Satsuki Sasahara and Hideki Yukawa.

## Characters

* Satsuki Sasahara
* Hideki Yukawa

## Summary

Tomorrow, Hideki is graduating and leaving high school forever. Knowing this is her last chance to confess to him, Satsuki asks him to show her the stars one last time. Hideki replies with a no but eventually relents as the pair go stargazing in the next scene.

As Hideki sets up the telescope, Satsuki deliberates on creating an ideal atmosphere for her confession. She starts by cuddling up next to Hideki and shyly commenting that it'll be the last time they'll be able to watch the stars together, only to then retract the statement by bluntly stating they could do it again anytime.

The conversation takes a turn as Hideki inquires about her knowledge of star names. Though Satsuki correctly identifies "Spica," she falters when asked to locate it, prompting Hideki to question why she even joined in the Astronomy Club in the first place. Her response of "for love," is brushed off by Hideki, but Satsuki uses that moment to finally confess to Hideki.

At first, Hideki doesn't answer, prompting Satsuki to hastily walk back her confession by claiming it was just another joke like all of her last confessions.

Heartbroken, Satsuki breaks into tears, reminiscing about the joyful moments with Hideki since she joined the club and fell for him at first sight. But before long, Hideki interrupts her, initially telling her he's "sick" of her confessions, before going on to tell her that since it's their final stargazing session together, he wouldn't mind if she did it one last time. Even going so far as to tell her that he will confess if she doesn't.

The chapter concludes with a tearful Satsuki shouting out her feelings, much to Hideki's satisfaction.

## Trivia

* Spica is not just a random name—it's a real star. It stands out as the brightest star in the Virgo constellation and is among the most luminous stars in the night sky.

Joe Dalton

*"Kto jest jedynym geniuszem w rodzinie?"*

Joe o sobie

**Joe Dalton** to szef gangu Braci Daltonów. Z rodzeństwa jest najmniejszy i najmądrzejszy.

**Charakter**

Z natury jest agresorem i najczęściej wyładowuje się na swoim młodszym bracie Averellu. Nie cierpi Lucky Luke'a, ponieważ ten zawsze krzyżuje mu jego plany. Na sam dźwięk jego imienia dostaje ataku szału. Jest bardzo nerwowy, nawet z pozoru niewinne pytanie może doprowadzić go do szaleństwa, w takich chwilach zwykle głośno tupie i okłada pięściami kogo popadnie.

**Umiejętności**

Joe jest niewątpliwie najmądrzejszy z całej czwórki Daltonów, on zwykle układa plan działania podczas gdy jego bracia wykonują polecenia. Jest tez bardzo przebiegły i jeżeli tylko nie jest na zdenerwowany całkiem zmyślnie układa intrygi i knuje podstępne plany. Jest fatalnym strzelcem i w konfrontacji ze stróżami prawa i innymi strzelcami zawsze pudłuje: nie potrafił trafić z garłacza swojego niedoszłego ojczyma mimo iż stał dosłownie obok niego.

**Ciekawostki**

Po tym gdy Daltonom pozwolono na adwokata. Joe przez to że adwokat wyciągał od nich pieniądze💸, dostaje ataku szału po usłyszeniu słowa "adwokat" podobnie jak to ma z Lucky Lukiem.
Node

Nodes are devices created mainly from the gold-like substance found in the Laguna province of the Philippines that are surgically implanted on the nape of the neck, granting the person with superhuman abilities and to materialize weapons by allowing the person to manipulate light throughout the electromagnetic spectrum. They are usually shaped like short pyramids and are only a few millimeters in size. In addition, the devices are based off the only surviving sacred treasure of Japan, the jewel that Maria supposedly created.

## Models

### Generation 1

The first nodes were surgically implanted into military veterans and were still in their trial phases when they were utilized against the Colossus in Manila. They were proved successful when the Colossus was defeated and prevented the being from self-destructing. The nodes were at least a centimeter in size and a subject was implanted with an average of ten nodes. They granted the subjects with enhanced strength and speed, abilities used to destroy the armor of the Colossus and its core. However, adverse effects from the nodes were eventually discovered with the subjects' bodies physically deteriorating due to the nodes' immense power not being able to completely controlled by the subjects. This would cause subjects to experience symptoms similar to that of radiation poisoning which caused this line of nodes to be discontinued and scientists to create a more compatible version of nodes.

### Generation 2

Two years afterward, a new streamline version of nodes were created that were smaller compared to their last generation counterpart, but were more compatible with the human body. Because of this, they were less likely to cause adverse effects like radiation poisoning that were seen from the last generation of nodes. In addition to being streamlined, users can also materialize light into blade and blunt weapons that were used to better fight against the Colossus. The technique used to create these weapons is similar to the way holograms are made, but are completely physical.

### Generation 3

Another generation of nodes were created three years later that were a more compact version compared to the last generation and allowed a new class of disc-shaped weapons to be used that could fire concentrated beams. These weapons could only be used through psychokinesis which was the new ability introduced with this new generation of nodes. The new features enabled users to better fight the Colossus at a distance while still being reliable in battle.
Project Katana

Project Kagami was one of two secret military projects created by the Japanese government to compete against the growing power of the Philippines and was based on one of the three sacred treasures of Japan, the katana. The goal of the project was to allow a Champion to increase the sharpness of their weaponry, most useful towards blade-shaped weapons.

Episode 5

**"Watching You From Afar"** (*"Tōku kara Kimi o Miteru",*遠くから君を見てる) is the fifth episode of *Tsurezure Children**.* It originally aired on August 1, 2017.

## Summary

In this episode, Saki confessed to Takase via text message. However, Takase, who was about to do the same thing, chickened out and instead condemned people who confess via text message. Since both parties sent the aforementioned text messages at the same time, both Saki and Takase are left feeling devastated over this colossal miscommunication.

Kaoru is Yuuki’s childhood friend and she’s miffed that Yuuki is crushing on Satsuki (which is why he joined the Astronomy club). He seems to be of the impression that he hates her, which causes her to act much like a tsundere. Satsuki ends up walking in on Kaoru forcing a kiss on Satsuki, which leaves everyone feeling embarassed.

Despite the fact that they’re now dating, Ayaka feels like Takeru is keeping her at a distance. After some poorly phrased words from Takeru, Ayaka is led to believe that he’s dumping her which causes her to start crying. However, it turns out that Takeru was actually admitting that he wasn’t sure if it was cool to just start acting like a boyfriend right after they started dating. Ayaka glomps him out of happiness.

I really like Ayaka. She can make crying look beautiful. I’m not sure how someone can suck at communication this much, but Takeru continues to amaze me, too. Most of the male characters are bad at communication, actually. Hopefully things go well between Takeru and Ayaka from now on.==Appearances==

Canada

Due to its expansive, uninhabited lands, Canada is the location where many Colossus corpses and other waste products that are generated from the manufacturing of nodes are disposed. Having the worst environmental protections of any first world country and its growing dependence on fossil fuels, many people are concerned about the future landscape of America's northern neighbor as Canada continues to become a literal wasteland.
Stormer

The Stormers are a new unit within the Champions along with the Shockers that was implemented after the Colossus invasion of Chicago.

## Trivia

* The project was inspired by the dragon, a creature in Chinese mythology that is associated with water.
Project Callista

Project Callista was a series of authorized experiments conducted by the United States military that involved a test subject, code named Callista. The goal of the project was to create nodes that would have repaired all defects of the subject's genetic structure through radioactive mutation and boosted performance, allowing them to combat the Colossus at a rate that far exceeded ordinary Champions. However, the project was deemed a failure along with Project Clarissa after both subjects' bodies became highly unstable and resulted in both projects' cancellation..

Japan-Korea relations

After the Champions of Japan defeated the Colossus that invaded the North Korean capital of Pyongyang, the newly liberated country reunited with its South Korean neighbor, establishing a strong relationship between the two Asian countries. As an act of gratitude, Korea has given classified data from the former North Korean program involving its nuclear weapons to the Japanese government. This has raised concerns over Japan's use of the data and controversy over Japan's delayed response to the Colossus invasion of North Korea that resulted in the death of the entire regime.
Project Clarissa

Project Clarissa was a series of authorized experiments conducted by the United States military that involved a test subject, code named Clarissa. The goal of the project was to create nodes that would have accelerated the learning of the subject and reduced years of training to only days, allowing the subject to combat the Colossus immediately after implantation at a speed that far exceeded ordinary Champions. However, the project was deemed a failure along with Project Callista after both subjects' bodies became highly unstable and resulted in both projects' cancellation..
