Sing "Yesterday" For Me: Volume 2

## Volume 2

**Sing "Yesterday" For Me: Volume 2** is the second installment tankōbon of the Japanese manga series by *Kei Toume*.

## Summary

Haru is more blunt about her feelings for Rikuo. She considers herself to be a runner who started late, therefore having lost from the start. She doesn't care that Rikuo has feelings for Shinako, she is content with being his friend. It is a very stark contrast to how Rikuo felt with Shinako.

Haru has to visit her mother, Yuko. Her mother informs her that she will be getting married to a man named Kawashima. He is very kind, and Haru has no qualms with her mother marrying him. Yet, the implication changing her last name causes her to think of her father. It has been 10 years since she last saw him. Unable to get her mind off it, she visits the address he gave her when she was little, telling herself just to check if he's still there.

Rikuo and Shinako were distant for a while, but they eventually begin to change dynamic and interact more comfortably again. They're a little more than friends now, but not romantically. They are just closer in a better way. After learning what Shinako went through, Rikuo is more understanding and able to respect her desired space.

Rui is starting prep school. He seemed overly confident before, but he is actually looking to constantly improve. He has a lot of expectations for himself to live up to. If he's not careful, those aspirations can become all the more crushing. He's at a turning point in his life, where he can take almost any path available to him. He's beginning to realize that people who do not excel in education are not lazy or underachieving, they simply had different desires in life. He's starting to question what he really wants.

Shinako is slowly coming to terms with the passing of Yuu, her past love. For the first time, she wept for him. She is trying to face the reality of him being gone.

Sing "Yesterday" For Me: Volume 1

## Volume 1

**Sing "Yesterday" For Me: Volume 1** is the first installment tankōbon of the Japanese manga series by *Kei Toume*.

## Summary

Volume one introduces the predicament of Haru Nonaka, Shinoka Morinome and Rikuo Uozumi. Haru is a dropout from the same high school Shinako teaches at. Rikuo and Shinako are old classmates from university. While Shinoka went on to be a teacher and left Tokyo, Rikuo found himself lacking the desire to do much of anything. This somehow brings the three of them back together.

Rikuo is content living his modest, under-achieving lifestyle. Or as he claims it, to be playing it safe and not taking any risks. He struggled with overwhelming emotions to his good friend and peer, Shinako during their student years together. He was never able to confess back then.

Shinako appears to be progressive with her life, a mature adult and what every productive citizen should aspire to be. Shinako doesn't feel the same. In fact, her feelings are very vague. She never opens up to anyone about the turmoils and inner conflict she may be experiencing.

Haru is very lonely, but claims it doesn't bother her. Her crow, Kansuke, is her only family. She never got to complete high school, due to the school disagreeing with her occupation. Kansuke one day brought her to the back of Nico2 Mart, the convenience store that Rikuo works at. Rikuo was feeding other crows with food they were going to throw away that night. Haru then asks Rikuo for some food as well, to which he reluctantly obliges. She has been popping up at Nico2 Mart to visit him ever since.

Haru is incredibly mysterious and eccentric to Rikuo, which puts him off. Yet, he doesn't dislike her company and entertains her when she's around. When Shinako returns to Tokyo, Rikuo's attention is focused on her and becomes colder to Haru. Haru is made to feel there is a competition for Rikuo's affection.

With Rikuo and Shinako spending brief time together, someone that finds Shinako very important to them intervenes. Rikuo struggles to understand how to be a good friend to Shinako, despite the way he feels. This person that protects Shinako, Rui, wants Rikuo to give up on Shinako entirely. Rui reveals something about Shinako that Rikuo couldn't have guessed.

Again, Haru winds up at Rikou's place, but he's not home. He's walking Shinako home. Before Shinako steps inside her building, he gives her the present, and she loves it. But his guilt leads him to reveal that it's present from his colleague who got dumped. Shinako invites Rikou to spend New Year's together. When he arrives home, he spots Haru in front of his door.

Haru is back home with her mother and Kawashima. Mother and daughter go out to buy ingredients for New Year's Soba.

So, he opts leave because he can't stand the tension. Plus, he doesn't feel comfortable. Shinako points out that Rikou isn't assertive because either he's too nice or because of Haru. Even so, Shinako wants to move on even it has to be slow. Consequently, Rikou opts to go home.

Back at her place, Haru hears an odd noise coming from outside.

Rikou receives a phonecall, and his eyes widen from the shock.

The Walrus and the Carpenter

The **Walrus** and the **Carpenter** are minor characters in Disney's 1951 animated feature film, *Alice in Wonderland*. They are two jobless travelers whose story was told to Alice by Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.

## Background

The **Walrus** acts as the leader of the duo. He is in many ways like Honest John from the film *Pinocchio*: he is a conniving moocher who resorts to trickery to get what he wants. While the Carpenter believes that finding employment will better improve their lives, work is the last thing on the Walrus' mind, regardless of his constant ramblings of "cabbages and kings" (his way of saying that their futures will soon enough be bright). He is also very greedy and self-conceited, not hesitating to eat all of the naive oysters (whom he deceptively convinced to follow him ashore and into a restaurant that Carpenter built out of bits of driftwood) belf, much to the Carpenter's anger of being left out of the feast.

The Walrus is an obese figure with light brown skin, a thickly mustached and black eyes that occasionally turn green whenever he makes a devious expression. He wears a green vest, blue bowtie, a navy coat and top hat and dark grey pants. He often carries around a cane.

The **Carpenter** acts as the Walrus' dim-witted sidekick and talks in a Cockney accent. He often acts before he thinks (nearly blurting out to the oysters their plans to eat them), leading his smarter friend to constantly beat him with his cane. Despite his stupidity, he is shown to be less despicable than the Walrus and very eco-friendly when he suggests that they clean up the garbage that was lingering on the beach only to have the Walrus turn down this idea when he knew it involved work. He is also a speedy builder, constructing a small restaurant out of driftwood in seconds as soon as the Walrus lured the oysters inside. However, the Carpenter does not take being swindled himself very well, bringing him to the point of vengeful rage against the Walrus when the latter devoured all of the oysters himself, leaving none for the Carpenter.

The Carpenter is a slender Blue Woodpecker with red hair and black eyes. He wears a white shirt and gray pants. He often carries around a hammer for practical use and as a weapon.
Sing "Yesterday" For Me (anime)

After graduating college, Rikuo Uozumi, unsure of his path in life and unwilling to risk the disappointment of an unfulfilling career, takes on an uneventful job at a local convenience store. While feeding the crows outside of his workplace, the monotony of his daily life is suddenly broken up when he meets the lively and unusual Haru Nonaka, who begins dropping by frequently to befriend him. After finding out that his former crush and college classmate Shinako Morinome has moved back into town to teach at a nearby high school, Rikuo reaches out to her to further their relationship. Things suddenly become complicated when Haru, who is one of Shinako's previous students, decides to toy with Rikuo upon seeing them walking together, unaware it's Shinako that he's with.

As their paths collide, these three learn to navigate the difficult waters of friendships and relationships, and how to let go of their complicated pasts in order to see the important things they're missing in the present.

Znikające dzieci w Wadowicach

W Wadowicach od wywiadu Papieża z "Ziarnem" w 1991 roku regularnie znikają dzieci.

#### Powód znikania dzieci

Niestety powód tego incydentu nie jest nam znany. Być może jest to znak przepowiedni która była nam dana w wyżej wymienionym wywiadzie, choć pewnie nigdy się tego nie dowiemy.

#### Legenda

Legendę możecie przeczytać w artykule Papież na szynach. Jest w niej opisany wygląd postaci porywającej dzieci oraz sposób pochwycenia dziecka.

#### Papież na szynach

Postać porywająca dzieci w Wadowicach. Jedna osoba, od której wiemy o jego wyglądzie, zmarła zaraz po przekazaniu tej wiadomości.

#### Jak chronić dzieci?

Niestety jest to niewiadome, ale dzieci najczęściej znikają o 6:00. Wiemy to, ponieważ wtedy kiedy znika dziecko, można usłyszeć donośne: "A JAK PAN JEZUS POWIEDZIAŁ".
Papież na szynach

#### **Fragment Wadowickiej Legendy**

"o godzinie 6:00 rano na torach prowadzących przez miasto Wadowice pojawia się Papież na szynach. Wygląda jak papież na szynach. Postać leży na brzuchu na którym znajdują się szyny. Porywa małe dziewczynki z warkoczykami i bez warkoczyków; podczas tego incydentu po całych Wadowicach roznosi się głośne:

> "A JAK PAN JEZUS POWIEDZIAŁ"
>
>

Po czym porywa dziewczynkę. Nikt nie wie co się z nimi dzieje."

#### **Statystyki z Wadowickiego Instytutu w Krakowie**

Statystycznie miesięcznie znika około 2 dziewczynek. Rocznie ta liczba wynosi od 24 - do 30 dziewczynek. W ciągu 15 lat zniknęło 400 dzieci.

#### **Przepowiednia**

Te wydarzenia jednak zostały przepowiedziane. Papież zapowiedział to w wywiadzie do "Ziarna". Materiał źródłowy znajdziecie tu. Pojawiła się tam pierwsza dziewczynka z warkoczykami która zaginęła 3 dni później.
