Last Quarter Page #5

Never mind. I had it

on a different finger.

Big Brother!

Don't go!

No, don't go!

Let's move from here.

Too many sad memories here.

It's all in Eve's head.

Eve never lived here

when she was little.

But she says...

that her dad, an architect,

and her mom...

her twin brother

and their cat Janosch...

all lived here together.

A business man.

Mizuki's dad's

an ordinary office guy.

And she has no brother.

Tomoki...

So you believe us?

I'm kinda stubborn.

So I washed away my doubts

with the rain.

I'll do anything to get Mizuki back.

Thank you.

That's encouraging.

She's probably imagining stuff.

There's no boyfriend named Adam.

Perhaps...

she's being possessed

by Sayaka's spirit?

Eve told me...

Adam used to play

the guitar for her.

I heard that song on TV.

Don't know the details, but...

So Adam's a professional musician?

Maybe it was him.

"Adam" is all you know?

Guess you have to sing it, Shiraishi.

What? No way!

You're gonna help Eve

no matter what. Right?

That's probably Evil Eye.

Evil Eye?

Charismatic indie band in England

about 20 years ago.

Import analogs are all you'll find

in Japan nowadays, I think.

What a nerd!

"Evil..." Oh, you know what?

Their reprint CD will be out next month.

Reprint?

Hold on a sec.

Here it is! See? Vocalist is Adam

and the album title is "Last Quarter."

Evil... Evil...

Elvis... Elvis... Elvis...

No, not Elvis... Evil.

Here it is, Evil Eye.

So this is Adam?

Adam.

This is it.

This song.

Awesome.

Where's Adam now?

Maybe back in England?

Without knowing about

Mizuki's accident?

So, what does "evil eye" mean?

Tomoki can do us the honor.

It's believed to bring bad luck.

In short, it's an eye that brings bad luck.

Once it stares at you, you're doomed.

That's what it is.

And "last quarter"?

Last quarter...

Oh, that's easy!

Of course I know.

I go to college.

But it may be a bit

too early for you two.

Maybe some other time.

It's the waning moon.

What?

It means the moon

in the waning phase.

The moon waxes and wanes each month.

There are four phases:

New Moon, Waxing Moon,

Full Moon and Waning Moon.

They're also called:

New Moon...

First Quarter...

Full Moon...

and the moon in the final phase

in the fourth week is Last Quarter.

It's the week before

the moon disappears.

Why bother to ask, then?

The moon shows its exact

same face once every 19 years.

That means, we can see

the exact same quarter...

only for a week every 19 years.

Then tonight's moon is the same

as the one 19 years ago?

You know a lot about the moon.

That...

MAN ENCHANTED BY THE MOON

He practices his lines with me.

Now... that explains why

you don't act your age.
