Please, G-God.
I cannot lose this money.

I absolutely cannot afford to lose it!

If you can hear me... please rewind time!

- Why don't people realize they're
standing on the brink of despair

- Please... Please... Please!

until it's too late?

No!

Back then...

every headline was about
a once-in-a-century recession

The Subprime Mortgage Crisis

and the global financial crisis.

- And that's all everyone talked about.

- The Lehman Brothers Collapse

- Global Stock Markets Plunge

But I was in middle school, so
I didn't know what any of it meant.

And honestly, I didn't care.

Hey, is this right?

Oh, you substitute this value
into the equation, and you get this.

Wow, you're so smart, Kurumi-chan.

Lunch at last!

Math was such a drag.

I'm starving.

Huh? Don't you usually bring
lunch from home, Kurumi-chan?

My mom's been really busy lately.
I figured I'd help her out a little.

Aw, you're such a good daughter.

Nah, not really.

Oh, no... it's raining.

Let's go buy an umbrella.

My house is just around
the corner, so I'll be fine!

See you next week!

Uh, Kurumi-chan?!

Whew, maybe I should've
bought an umbrella.

I'm home...

Whoa, why's it so dark?

She didn't even take out the trash.

Sheesh.

Mom's really been slacking
on the housework lately.

Mom? You home?

You're gonna get in trouble
when Dad comes home.

How is this happening?!

The hell?!

M-Mom?

C'mon! I can't lose here!

Just let me win one last time!

Go up...

There we go!

Go! Go!

Go! Go! Go!

You've gotta be kidding me!
This is bullshit!

Who the hell said it was going up?!

Uh, Mom?

What's all the yelling?

Mom?

What are you doing?

Kurumi-chan...

That thing on your computer, is that...

Yeah, forex.

Uh, isn't forex something
to do with money?

Yeah.

How much did you spend?

Twenty million yen.

What?

What? Why are you
looking at me like that?

This isn't my fault!

No... It's not my fault.

They said... Everyone said
it was going to go up!

That's why...

Please, Kurumi-chan.

Don't tell your father about this, okay?

I beg you.

Mom...

No way.

I can't let them get divorced.
I can't let our family fall apart.

It's on me. I have to fix this.

I'm pretty sure middle schoolers can
work if they get permission or something.

Right! Dad's out of town for work.

If I can get the twenty
million yen before he finds out,

there won't be a divorce!

Why not?!

We'd earn money back
faster if we both worked!

You only just got home yourself!

You're still a child. This isn't
something you need to worry about.

It's my responsibility.

But I have to!
I don't want you to get divorced!

You're a smart girl, Kurumi-chan.
Just keep studying like you always have.

But...

It'll be all worth it someday.

Ugh! There she goes,
treating me like a little kid again!

Adults never listen!

From that day on, Mom
started going to work.

Before long, she was
coming home later and later.

She must've been working multiple jobs.

- I snuck these out of Mom's room.

Mom tried to make money with
this technique and it backfired.

To begin with...

What exactly is this forex thing anyway?

- What is Forex?
Forex is short for Foreign Exchange Margin Trading

- Put Leverage to Work in Forex Trading Forex trading is an investment method that aims to profit from differences in exchange rates and
interest rates. However, keep in mind that leverage can increase both gains and losses, so be sure to understand the risk before trading.

Foreign exchange? Like dollars and yen?

I don't really get it, but...

Whatever it is, it can make twenty
million yen disappear just like that.

But if it can lose so easily—

Then it must be something that's able to
make twenty million yen just as easily!

So if I really learn how this works,
maybe I can make money too.

You have to be at least eighteen...

There's no way I'd ever
get my mom's permission.

Fine. I'll study just like you said.

And by the time I turn twenty,

I'll be good enough to win
back twenty million yen!

Kurumi-chan, what are you reading?

Oh, this is—

Foreign Currency Investing How to Spot Trends When to Enter the Market Risk Management

- Oh, I know that!

But can middle schoolers do it too?

No, I'm thinking about
doing it once I'm an adult.

What? I don't think you should.

I heard a lot of people end up committing
suicide after losing a lot of money.

Mom's working way too hard.

It's just been two months
and look how she is already.

I can't just sit back and do nothing.

Hey, Mom?

Aren't you exhausted?

I'm fine. I've been careful
not to let your dad find out.

That's not what I meant!

It's actually a good thing.

Your father won't be
coming home for New Year's.

Actually, I wish he'd
come home right now.

Mom, Dad's coming home today, right?

Let's just tell him the truth.
I won't let you two get divorced.

We can apologize together. Okay?

I can't do anything right now,

but I'll definitely make
that money back someday!

You can't.

Huh?

Kurumi-chan, you think
this is simple, don't you?

Remind me, who's the one
who got us into this mess?!

You're right. I'm sorry.

I'm going to the store.

Forget it, I'll go!

Use this time to figure out
what you're going to say to Dad!

Why?

Where did she go?

Gosh, where were you—

Hmm? I'm home.

Dad!

What should we do?! Mom's not home!

Calm down.

Maybe she just ran
to the convenience store.

No! Actually, the truth is...

See? It's probably Mom calling.

Wait.

Hello, Fukuga residence.

Yes, uh-huh. Oh.

What?

What happened?

Someone committed suicide.

They jumped from the building.

Seriously?

It's the mom.

How awful...

Why did she have to go?

Kurumi.

You shouldn't see her.

I... k*lled my mom.

No! I didn't k*ll her!

She wouldn't have died
if she'd asked for my help!

Idiot! Stupid Mom!

You thought you could mess with forex

when you didn't even know
what you were doing!

You couldn't even understand
middle school math!

If it were me!

If I weren't just a kid...

if I were an adult...

Kurumi-chan, thanks for lending a hand.

Kurumi-chan, Mom's bad at math.
Can you teach me?

Kurumi-chan, look over here!

This shell is so pretty.

Don't you think?

No matter how desperately
I wished for it...

time wouldn't turn back.

There we go.

But I'm glad I got reassigned.

At least I can commute from home now.

Yeah.

- Looks like we'll get
everything packed sooner than—

Huh? Did you find something?

U-Uh, nothing!

Say, Kurumi.

Don't you mess with
forex trading, you hear?

Huh?

There's nothing wrong with investing.

But you can live a perfectly
happy life without it.

Yeah. I know.

Past Due Notice

Maybe this is nothing more than
a fight for my own peace of mind.

Mom's never coming back.

But if I'd been stronger,
maybe she didn't have to die.

And I want to prove that to myself.

Five years have passed since then.

The stage was set.

My first step was
attending a local university

- so Dad wouldn't have to worry.

- As a scholarship student,
half my tuition was waived.

I didn't want to put
any more strain on my dad,

so I paid the rest
through working part-time.

I scraped together my w*r chest of


This is my starting capital.

And this is my b*ttlefield.

Forex is the buying and
selling of foreign currencies

in an attempt to profit from
fluctuations in exchange rates.

- The financial crisis continues to spread,
pushing the global economy into recession.

- FISCAL CRISIS ECONOMIC RECESSION
FUELING THE STOCK MARKET SELL-OFF

- Exchange rates are driven by global
events and economic conditions,

- Fears of economic collapse are
growing in many countries.

making accurate predictions impossible.

And consistently winning at forex over
the long term is extremely difficult.

Because the longer you trade,

the greater your chances
of encountering unexpected events.

Although, if you're only
aiming for very small profits,

there are strategies that
come close to being foolproof.

Then I need to forget about
unrealistic expectations

and assume long-term
profitability isn't possible.

After all, my goal is...

twenty million yen!

There's no avoiding risk.

In other words,
I'll accept the high stakes

and settle this in a short-term battle!

If there's ever a best time
to take big risks,

it is at the beginning,
when a loss won't hurt as much.

Entry and exit orders... all set.

My b*ttlefield is the USD/JPY market.

It's a major currency pair—
perfect for my first trade.

Since this is a short-term trade,

I'll set the chart
to five-minute candlesticks.

It's okay... Just like I practiced.

According to my analysis,
USD/JPY still has room to climb.

Now!

Long USD/JPY! Thirty lots, fire!

Perfect! I got a good entry.

Keep climbing!

Wow...

I've already earned what
I'd make in a full day at work.

Well, I guess that's only natural.

I was holding thirty lots.

Every one-yen move would mean
a profit or loss of 300 thousand yen!

So with the right timing,

that could be 1,000 yen
an hour... no, a minute...

no, even a second!

A reversal?! Is this as high as it'll go?!

No...

It's got more room to run!



I-In just five minutes...

That's more than
Yamaguchi-san from work...

Even more than Dad...

I actually made more money.

I'm not a helpless kid anymore,

Mom.

I can do this.

I'll definitely

get those twenty million yen ba—

Huh?

Wh-What?

H-Hold on. W-Wait a second.

Wh-Why is this happening?

Oh, I need to close my position...

I-I should've closed
my position earlier...

Kurumi wasn't the only one.

Everyone is the same.

Her...

Her...

And her as well.

No one realizes it until it's too late...

My money... I worked
so hard for that money.

Please... I beg you, just please...

Stop!

...that they're standing
on the brink of despair.

Hey, hey.

Forex is an abbreviation
for "foreign exchange."

And I'm totally falling
in love with forex!

But instead of falling in love,
I may have fallen into hell.
