Forget It, Don't Forget

Trying to figure out Menma’s wish, Jinta decides to make his long-delayed return to school. However, his return is overshadowed over rumours about Naruko having been spotted at a love hotel. As Naruko becomes noticeably upset by all the nasty gossip surrounding her, Jinta stands up for her, and both leave class right away. With Naruko troubled about her parents hearing about the news, she decides to stay at the secret base. Hoping if there are any clues to what Menma’s wish might be Jinta, Naruko and Tetsudō visit Menma’s house to pay their respects, where they meet her mother, who gives them Menma’s diary which they agree to read the next day. When Jinta mentions the visit to Menma, she becomes upset as she wanted her mother to forget about her so that she wouldn’t be sad. Jinta in turn yells at her for never thinking of herself and runs off.
