There is so much happening with Totto-chan. Her friend, Yasuaki Chan, dies, and all she is left with is a longing to see him again. Her heart broke down on his passing, but she did not let that show, for she knew they would meet again soon. Their lives might have been entangled once, but they had broken free.
Totto-chan was still an optimistic, cheerful girl. She let her ambitions cross limits and did live up to them. Her dream of a spy might have been full of zeal, but it crashed as Tai-chan pointed out the reality, yet Totto-chan gathered her courage and awaited the bright, new future. Twisted, they both were in their own lives, simply finding the correct path to walk up.
No wonder Totto-chan is Totto-chan only because of her parents; the values that Totto-chan’s mother and father have instilled in her, not through sermons but through examples, have led her to be the same person. Another man who has contributed massively to the becoming of Totto-Chan is her headmaster, who not only made Totto-Chan realize her worth but also made her learn the art of respect and helping others.
Totto-Chan,
Be just the way you are,
For you are perfect
And you are pretty.
You are strong,
And agile enough.
You are a tree,
That will never fall.
Everyone in Tomoe,
Should be just the way
They are, because I can’t
Imagine it to be better.
Let it be Tai-Chan,
Or be it her mother,
Let it be the young teacher,
Or the Headmaster.
I wouldn’t want anything
Different at all,
Because it is perfect,
Just the Way you are !
