Synopsis

Poor Bootaro, with his aversion to birthdays. Perhaps something weighs on him. Surely there's someone he can confide in? For me, it would be Tama-chan; I can tell her nearly anything. The next two episodes of *Chibi Maruko-chan* explore this: "Bootaro's Birthday" and "Maruko and Tama-chan, a secret between the two of us." Please anticipate them.
