On 'Holding On'

• okaasan: 'mother'
  

• otousan: 'father'
  
  
• oneechan: 'big sister'
  
  
• sensei: a term of respect used for an educated professional (a teacher, in this case)
  
  
• okonomiyaki: a kind of thick pancake made with flour, eggs, cabbage and various other fillings (such as thinly sliced meat or seafood, mushrooms, vegetables and so on).
  
  
• Yatabe-san asks Rika to start calling him by his first name. While Rika's use of 'Muzai-kun' doesn't signify a romantic relationship between them, it does imply that they're closer than just 'fellow students'. Rika, however, blanches at the thought of letting Yatabe-san call her 'Rika-chan', and insists he call her 'Rika-san' ('Miss Rika') instead.
  
  
• Like her okaasan, Sara-chan has chronic renal insufficiency (problems with her kidney functions). This stunts her growth and leaves her vulnerable to a wide range of complications.
