It all began at the summer beach..

551, 552, 553, 554..  

Wow!! Yahoo! The sea!!!  

Alright!!

Coupons for half price for stay on Sunday ?

Yeah, a regular customer gave me some..

Alright, lucky!  there're three!  Let's go together!!  
Darling!

But why do they have make this kind of coupon in the middle of the holiday season?

Of all days on Sunday?..

Come to think about it, you're right..

Does that matter?!!  Besides, if they're cheap enough to make it half price, maybe they just got one room?.

Hikaru-chan.. just a sec..

In that kind of case.
You know?
Oh you're here, too?

What is it, Hikaru-chan?
Nothing!
Hikaru, it's too late.

Can't stand it!!
Hikaru-chan.. stand   ! 
Ayukawa!!

Ta-dah!
Oh you wore one, hahaha
Got fever or something?

This island is also known as the Mecca of surfing.  
But.. 

Legendary Big Monday?
Don't you know that?
It's about a tidal wave.

Tidal wave?

Yeah, there's always once a year on sunny August first Monday afternoon..

You mean tomorrow?
  
That's right.  A giant one comes from beyond the horizon. 
Really giant one.  Of course, for the first while, there were surfers who challenged it for fun.  But nobody managed to conquer it.

So everybody go home, that's why they had to make this kind of coupon.

That's about it!  See ya!
See ya!
Whimp!

Shiveringly beautiful.  I thought that moment.

but does she know about the legendary wave...  

Let's see.. better trim these one again ..  but there're too many mountain pictures.. 

what's the..  noisy..  ?  
h..hey! I told you not to disturb me when I'm working!

But oniechan's a cheater going to the sea by himself!

I told you not to use the "power"!

We wanna go to the sea, too!  
Take us.

I've got work, though.  Why don't you go to a pool?
We're bored of pool!

Say, dad.  Didn't you say you needed some shots of seas instead of all mountain shots for your next work?  But the deadline..  Anyway, "the power"..

Work, work.  And are you sure you let oniechan go on loose?!  

Wh..what do you mean, 
Kurumi?..

I mean, we're talking about summer sea, right?
Yeah...

J..just a sec!  you mean..
Isn't he a bit too young to be a dad?

K..Kurumi, stop joking around!!   See this?

What?  A ghost?  

Yeah, it's supposed to be really beautiful lady.. Her name is Koto.

So, ghost of the lady named Koto appears at the beach?

She was so beautiful that the lord of this land ordered her to come to his castle. But she had a fiance, so the night before Koto was to go to the castle, they tried to run away from the beach... but... Since then, on the night when fishing fire is on, a lonely faced beautiful ghost is supposed to wonder around the beach.. and on her wrist, there's supposed to be scars she got when she threw herself from the cliff.  

Since I was little, I wasn't good at these kind of stories..

Heard something pretty bad...
Better go to washroom before I go to sleep..

Come on!  grandpa, what're you doing!?  You got something!!
Oh this's gotta be a big one.

That's cause you were telling us weird story!  Go for it!!

Hikaru-chan, you aren't scared.

?  About what?
Like ghosts or..

I'm OK with those kind of things!  Madoka-san is not good at all though.

Oh?
Will you cut it out?
Ayukawa is..

Alright!!  Oh pretty small.

Wow, cool! 

Say, that lady..  Don't you think she looks lonely?

!! Koto?!..  

yeah..  You know that..  the only surfer..  on the stay list, her name said "Koto."

Excuse me!  Wow, I didn't know you're here!  I saw you surfing this afternoon!  

What's with her?..
Hey!  !!

And on her wrist, there's supposed to be scars she got when she threw herself from the cliff.

Could she be...

Where are you going?

Looks like I left my T-shirt at the beach.
Don't worry, Kasuga-kun.  I can find it 
myself.

It's OK.  You know there might be this..

... That's fake.  There's always this kind of story at these kinds of places.

I don't know if there's any relationship, but you know that surfer who's staying at the same place?  

Incidentally..
What is it?

Her name is Koto.

!!!!

Oh just bats.  ?..

I felt that it's like sin that 
I should touch her infinitely sweet and soft skin..

There it is..  !!

Ayukawa!!   !! A ghost?!!  
Better help Ayukawa!!
Don't touch her!!

Oh scary...  I haven't touched a finger on her.   Sorry to scare you.
Kind of hard not to with this foot.  There was some broken bottle.  This beach is getting dirty...  

I see.

So you thought I'm ghost. 
Ghost eh?  I wish I could see him even if he's a ghost.

My boyfriend died 3 years ago on this beach.

You mean the legendary Big Monday?

He was always chasing around dreams.  He wanted to conquer the wave.  We were so young..  

I loved him for that..  

Then.. er..  are you thinking of challenging Big Monday for him?

I was wondering about that.  
No way I can handle the wave he couldn't.  But if I don't do that.. I felt like I couldn't forget about him and get married.

Married?
But it's impossible with this foot.

Are you OK?..

Thank you..  Your girl friend?  
She's so cute..  You've still got a long way to go.

Protect her, OK?  Good night.

.. Ayukawa..  Needless to say in this kind of situation, I have to protect her.. 

But her weight on me felt so good.  
awchoo!  Good morning.

That lady..  was she really a ghost?..
Yeah..  ... hahaha!

Then, it's lie?!  Let me down!  
I can walk by myself!!  
What're you doing!

Let me down, Kasuga-kun!  Come on!!  
Let me down!

So the ghost story was settled, but..  ?!! 
Ayukawa is?!

Yes, she said she'll challenge 
Big Monday for the lady!..

But.. even for Madoka-san..
  
Madoka-san!!

Ayukawa like that is completely different from her scared of ghost.

Woman to woman?
yeah, I kind of can feel how she's feeling..

Sure, but...
Don't worry.  Her boyfriend will protect me, for her.

Madoka-san...
There it is!!

Legendary Big Monday..  Are sure that's the way you want?

And you really can forget about him?

Madoka-san!!
Oh shoot!

Madoka-san!!
Hikaru-chan, don't!
But Madoka-san is..

! Madoka-san!

Oh, all of a sudden?

Yeah, I thought I wouldn't make it, but before I knew it, I floated up and was standing on the board.
  
hahaha.....

Your boyfriend must've helped me..

Anyway, I did managed to protect my most precious woman.

Anyway, I felt like I could even beat the sun that time...
