Ratings & Reviews
A special made before the rest of the KOR anime to test the possibility of making more. Essentially an alternate TV version of episode 46, Kyosuke and Madoka go to the beach only to be trapped alone together.
Kyosuke Kasuga has just moved to the new neighborhood, and he's counting some nearby steps. At the top he sees a bright orange UFO, but it turns out to be a "red straw hat". He then meets Madoka Ayukawa, a beautiful and mysterious girl.
Kyosuke has an intricate fantasy about being with Ayukawa by the seaside in yellow tint, but ends up kissing Jingoro's backside. In the hallway at school, as he's hurrying to class, he sees Ayukawa and prepares to be insulted.
Komatsu and Hatta drag Kyosuke off to their favorite eating establishment (across the walk from an aerobics center) and give him tickets to Disco Mobius to give to the twins for them.
Kyosuke, sick at home due to events of the last episode, lies to Hikaru about why he missed their date. The next day at school, Kyosuke finds that everyone thinks that he and Hikaru went all the way
Kyosuke's family is going to Hokkaido for a vacation, but Kyosuke, upset by recent news from Hikaru that Ayukawa's been acting strangely, decides not to go. Hikaru has seen Ayukawa walking somewhere with a man she doesn't recognize.
Someone is following Kyosuke to school. It turns out to be Hino Yuhsaku, a young martial arts stud who predicts bad things for Kyosuke's health if he doesn't leave "that girl" alone. Kyosuke thinks he means Madoka.
Kyosuke is at Komatsu's house, and they get to talking about women. Kyosuke realizes that he really doesn't know all that much about Ayukawa's past.
Coming home, Kyosuke is surprised to see dozens of beautiful models his father is photographing. Takashi (the father) says that this is the only work available.
Walking through town, Kyosuke spies Yuhsaku, looking through the glass of a store at Hikaru and Madoka, who are shopping. Later, Kyosuke and the others hear that Kurumi has gotten lost, that she went off with a boy.
Kyosuke has a premonition dream about Hikaru's death. He had a vision of her on the other side of a park bench, moving farther and farther away from him.
Narasanaide wedding bell! (1987)
- S1E11
Kyosuke notices Madoka flipping through wedding magazines, wearing a new ring, and wonders what's up. When Madoka receives a secretive phone call from a man and she won't explain it, he worries even more.
Ayukawa's sister gets married amid much thrown rice. Madoka catches the bouquet. In the paper, near the wedding announcement, Kyosuke reads terrible news: it says Madoka will be returning to America to attend school there.
Hikaru shows up at a school recycling drive, but it's a new Hikaru we see, a beautiful Hikaru with make-up and new clothes. No one recognizes her, not even Kyosuke.
Kyosuke has a dream about Madoka telling him he is the worst, that they can never be together again. While out jogging, Kyosuke meets Kurumi and Manami at a girl's gym, where Ayukawa is engaging in a little pro-wrestling.
Kurumi and Manami are having a knock-down, drag-out fight over socks that Kurumi "borrowed". They both try to get Kyosuke to take their side. Takashi is having a display in a local art gallery and they're getting ready.
While walking outside, Kyosuke and Madoka see a UFO and manage to snap a picture. Kyosuke later discovers it was Kurumi and Manami, using their powers and fooling around.
It's summer, and Kyosuke gets invited both by Ayukawa to the library and by Hikaru to the pool, and he accepts both invitations, flipping back and forth with his teleportation.
It's the beginning of the one-month summer vacation for Japanese kids, and Kyosuke, Madoka, Hikaru-chan and Yuhsaku are going to spend some time at a beach resort.
The gang is at the same seaside resort as last episode, enjoying their brief summer vacation. Yuhsaku gets an idea -- let's rent rowboats and race to the island. They set out in two boats.
The group is on a train, going to tennis camp for a week or so. Ayukawa seems moody, perhaps having something to do with last episode's adventure on the island with Kyosuke.
Part two of the Tennis Camp episode. Jingoro wakes up and is shocked to find himself flying slowly over the landscape.
Kyosuke goes into Abcb but is surprised to find that Madoka's not there -- an older, beautiful woman has taken her place. We then see Ayukawa with a mysterious man she calls "Shu-chan".
Kyosuke is shopping with Hikaru-chan but has to evade Yuhsaku when he shows up, angry because Kyosuke is with Hikaru. Yuhsaku ends up getting the stuffing knocked out of him when he goes into the wrong dressing room.
Kyosuke is on his way out when a small version of himself runs into his family jewels -- it's his cousin Kazuya, who looks exactly like Kyosuke except that he's only five years old.
Little Kazuya joins the Kasuga family for breakfast, and does Jingoro a favor by feeding him at the table. When Kyosuke gently scolds him for it, everyone points out that Kyosuke is so indecisive about everything.
Madoka is angry at Kyosuke for lending out a notebook she had allowed him to use, and shows it by throwing him against a wall of shoe lockers. At the Kasuga home, Komatsu and Hatta meet Kazuya for the first time.
Madoka getting narrowly hit by a truck and injured. Hearing the news the next day, Kyosuke is alarmed and wants to go see how she is. Kyosuke's father says, why don't you also take Kurumi and Manami, but Kyosuke doesn't want to.
Manami, transformed with a wig and contact lenses, is walking around, thrilled at how she looks and searching for a boyfriend. Meanwhile, Kurumi has cooked dinner. When Kyosuke doesn't want to eat what Kurumi has made, she gets upset.
Jingoro the cat is acting very strange, and everyone wonders what is wrong. Kazuya wakes up from his nap despite Kyosuke's efforts to quiet everyone's talking and makes his "Kyosuke-oniichan" play a Nintendo game with him.
When Kyosuke finds Kurumi staring out into the sky at night, he knows something must be wrong. At school, Hikaru and Madoka know what the problem must be-- Kurumi's in love. Kyosuke thinks it's funny.
Yuhsaku with flowers surprises Kyosuke by yelling, "I love Madoka!" in a loud voice. Komatsu comes spreading the newest gossip of what happened, but Kyosuke doesn't want to hear it.
At 4:02, Kyosuke is sitting on the bed, full of anger. Going back to 8:30, however, Kyosuke is happy, hinting to everyone that it is a special day. It is November 15th and Kyosuke's birthday, but everyone ignores the fact.
The group is planning a camping trip, and the Master is explaining the various types of mushroom on the mountain that they should avoid eating. One, a blue type, removes inhibitions and makes you want to tell the truth in your heart.
The hikers are near Ojiichan's house, looking at the mountains. Kyosuke notices a log being levitated and decides to go to his grandparents' house to remind them that no one is supposed to know about their family's powers.
Kurumi has zapped Kyosuke with her hypnosis powers and turned him into a mindless robot who does what anyone tells him.
Kyosuke figures out that Komatsu and Hatta have told her what they saw. He nervously looks over at Ayukawa, watching on the side. Kyosuke happens upon Ayukawa practicing her lines in class.
It is snowing and Kyosuke is running up to a bridge where Ayukawa is holding a bamboo umbrella. She is off to a critical fight and Kyosuke is trying to stop her. She is knocked to the ground by a shadowy opponent as she fights.
Kyosuke is helping set up for a Christmas bash. He puts the final touch on a Christmas tree by mounting the star on top of the tree. He loses his balance and falls off the ladder. He grabs the tree and hauls it down with him.
At breakfast Kyosuke is poked in the head by Kurumi. She is trying to see if she can hypnotize her brother. She succeeds and commands her brother to run around like a dog.
Kyosuke is driving over to Hikaru's for a visit. He hears the news of the attack on a small TV tuned to MHK's broadcast. When he arrives, he is met by all the kids.
Kyosuke is relieved that Hikaru is safe but he takes a second to take a breath. He notices that nothing is moving.
This episode begins with a scene from "Gone With The Wind". It is the scene at the end where Scarlett says that she'll go home after Red has left her.
At the sea side harbour, the gang practices their songs in a warehouse. Shu-chan's band has their practices here, and are allowing them to use the instruments. Kyosuke arrives a bit late to the practice.
Kyosuke is brushing his teeth on what looks like a typical Valentine's Day. He recalls back when Ayukawa invited Kyosuke over to the ABCB. She also gives him a red scarf to wear. Kyosuke is excited.
One morning, Hikaru walks into homeroom and gives Kyosuke a diary. This is Hikaru's new idea for showing their love. It is meant to be a love diary.
Kyosuke is skiing around with the gang on a popular slope. Yuhsaku shows off by going off a cliff, and doing a spectacular jump. He sails along fine until he smashes into a tree.
Kyosuke imagines what it would be like if he had not caught that hat on that first day he met Ayukawa.
Kyosuke and Ayukawa are sitting on the swings. Kyosuke finally admits that he is an esper with strange psychic powers. He apologizes for getting her all tied up in this mess.
