My name's Oki Yasuko.

I'm a senior in high school.

Since I lost my parents in an accident, I've been living with my older brother...

and it totally sucks.

Though he makes his living from drawing comics for young girls.

In reality, he's more of a noisy bike gang member.

He's hot-tempered and over-protective.

When I thought I found my first true love,

he gets in the way.

On top of that, my first love's sister seems to have ties with my brother.

It's been awhile

Erika of the Black Roses.

Your memory serves you well,

Oki Kenji.

C'mon, you two are adults already.

Butt out, youngster!

Don't call my lil brother a youngster!

Your lil brother?

Ah! Stop!

I dunno what's happening, but Tsubaki is my friend from school.

I don't approve of this.

Since he's this damn bitch's brother,

he's an indecent guy.

Isn't that grand. You're in no position to say that! Look at this stupid brat!

Stupid brat...?

After 10 years, I finally see something good.

Let's go!

Let's go home.

What is this?!

What's gonna happen to us?

Tsubaki!

We're digging in!

Thanks for rescuing me.

Don't worry about it. Thank the boss instead.

You're not going to?

What kind of relationship do you guys have with them anyway?

It's the worst relationship ever.

The worst?

The boss lead our group, the Naked Guns,

and Erika lead the Black Roses,

and there was a turf war that was never settled.

It's best if you didn't associate with that woman, Yasuko.

That woman...

Dummies!

How long do you plan to slack off, bastards!

Sorry, sir!

So, what is this then?

[ Oki ]

Um... it's about yesterday...

Thanks for coming to save...

[ Notice to change schools ]

Huh? A notice to change schools?

It's worthless to go to a school if that youngster is there, too.

What are you saying?

I'll never agree to this!

That school is too dangerous for you.

But didn't you send me to that school in the first place?!

Shut up!

If I say you're changing schools, then you are!

What is this! I'm stupid for even trying to say thanks.

Dad, Mom,

Is your poor daughter not allowed to fall in love?

No way! I'll find love myself!

What the heck did you throw away!

Don't run away from me, Yasuko!

Yasuko!

Ah! It's Tsubaki.

You can't split up and leave it at that,

Yasuko.

Dear Tsubaki!

- Morning. - What's wrong? You're injured.

Let me refer you to the best doctor immediately.

- Injured? - My world-famous dad is the authority in the surgical department.

Would you like to go to his hospital after school?

I wonder if Tsubaki is mad about yesterday.

I have to apologize.

Yasuko, did you see?

That white hoodlum is back again.

He's all white.

Eh.

She wants to change schools?

Yes, change schools.

Immediately?

Yes! Immediately.

But if that were to happen...

It'll be hopeless for her to continue her studies at college... Is that okay?

Hopeless?!

I'm not sure if she'll be able to handle the other school's entrance test with her knowledge...

Is it really that hopeless?!

Here's a message from your brother.

[ To Yasuko ]

I'm just passing it along.

[Forget about changing schools!]

[But your curfew is now 3:30PM! From Oki Kenji]

My curfew...

is 3:...

30?!

I couldn't apologize to Tsubaki and now my curfew is set earlier...

This sucks!

Yasuko!

E-Erika?

I'm sorry.

Huh?

I said some pretty mean things yesterday.

That stupid brat!

It's okay.

Um...

I've been looking for this!

Thank you!

You said that your unrequited first love...

it couldn't be...

my older brother, right?

You figured it out.

No way!

I can't really encourage it.

As that guy's family member, I dunno what to say, but

he doesn't listen to people, he's selfish, his voice is loud, and he's violent.

But I can't help it because I already like him.

Isn't it the same for you, Yasuko?

- Eh? - You like my brother Jun, right?

Eh? You noticed?

It's written all over your face.

Eh? No way. Cut that out!

Oh, that's right.

I dunno if this'll help or not, but here take this.

[EEC English Academy Study Abroad Orientation]

I'm looking forward to working with you.

Okay.

See you later.

Thank you very much.

Tsubaki!

Ah, Oki.

What's up?

Eh? Um...

I'm really sorry.

It's all my fault that you have that injury.

This isn't really all your fault.

It's been awhile since I saw my sister in her biker clothes.

So, it was pretty amusing for me.

Tsubaki, are you trying to get into this place?

I came to get information.

Are you studying abroad?

I want to translate eventually.

Translate?

I want to learn native English with the high schoolers there.

"Native"?

This is absolutely impossible.

I thought we could've entered together, but I'm stupid!

Are you trying to get in, too?

Me?

Yasuko!

I'm safe!

How was that?

Welcome home!

I'm so glad!

I'm glad.

Thanks for the food!

"Thanks for the food" my ass!

You're mad?

Yeah, I'm mad.

You make me mad!

But I made my curfew.

What have you been doing up till your curfew?

Uh...

Damn you!

What are you thinking?!

How cruel!

You looked inside my bag?

Don't go filling out contracts on your own!

[EEC English Academy Application] Isn't it a good thing? I've thought about studying English! Got a problem?

You don't have that luxury!

Don't concentrate only on English!

Do better in all your subjects!

You know your literary abilities are hopeless!

I want to learn native English!

Na... Nati... Na... What?!

It's genuine fluent English.

Yeah! I want to be a translator!

So, it's necessary that I study English for that!

No way! No way!

I won't allow you to do as you please!

You better do as I say and study!

What the hell is this?!

Oh, it looks like she's actually thinking about her future, huh?

This is my first time hearing it.

- That Yasuko wants to be a translator? - Amazing.

What's hopeless?

It's more like my first love is very hopeless.

Erika really likes that guy and

I like Tsubaki...

So, that means...

If Tsubaki and I get along well,

and in order for us to someday date...

I got it.

I got it...

Translator: am.donut

Erika,

please go out with my stupid older brother!

W-what are you saying?

I finally realized.

If you and that guy like each other,

that means I'll be free and open to be with Tsubaki...

It's like killing two birds with one stone!

Please confess to that guy right now!

Yasuko!

How many times do I have to tell her till she gets it?!

- I finally see. - Everyday around this time, it's like this.

When he gets irritated like this, we're always receiving the butt of it.

So, is that how you guys got injured?

Ah, this is from that one time when we saved Yasuko.

Eh? Are you guys causing a ruckus again like back then?

- What if some problem occurs? - Don't be ridiculous.

Hm... if you say so.

Hey, hey. Don't get so hot-tempered.

Eat some watermelon and calm down.

I'm not even hot-tempered.

You're lacking sleep.

You stayed up all night, huh?

Your pen strokes are rough when you stay up all night.

No, I'm planning to fix this one up.

Don't deceive the editor-in-chief's eyes and the reader's eyes,

Mentor Sakuraba Reika.

Do your best.

I can't do it, after all!

Eh? But why?

If you don't confess first, then nothing will ever start, right?

When we were getting to know each other back then, I did it once.

Eh?

Oki Kenji,

go out with me.

W-wait! Time out!

Who was that just now?

I was fat back then.

My nickname was Sumo Champ.

[Sumo Champ]

And just as I expected...

I hate...

fat girls.

That guy's so cruel!

After that I did my best.

Sweating blood, I pushed myself.

Wow! [Slang for I love you]

You're a different person! [Life Kenji]

And then, and then? How did the second time go?

I didn't have the chance to...

Why?

Hello?

"Hello" my ass!

What time do you think it is right now!

Yasuko!

Your curfew is up already! Come home quickly!

It's him, so...

You don't have to confess right away,

but how about trying to calmly talk to him first?

Why are you trying to be sneaky!

Erika.

H-Hello?

Huh? Who the heck are you?!

Uh... Um...

Didn't you listen? I said who are you?!

Your name! What's your name?!

Hey, bastard! Are you listening?!

Ah! This is bad!

Who am I, you ask?

It's me.

Erika of the Black Roses!

Listen up, Oki Kenji.

I'm holding your sister hostage.

If you want me to return her, you better come kneeling!

Th... that damn...

Erika, why?

I know.

I already know, so don't say anything about it.

Yasuko.

Can I talk with you for a bit?

Do you remember that ass, Aota?

Aota?

Ah. Yeah, that creep.

That ass was a part of a bad group called, "The Snakes,"

and when they butted heads, he fell for Erika.

Oki Kenji is the only one in my heart.

She'd never go out with him.

One night, that Aota came to inform us about something.

I heard that Erika called Oki Kenji out for a one-on-one battle.

But really...

Erika was only

confessing her feelings to him.

- Does that mean... - Yes, it does!

She lost weight and as a different person, she confessed a second time!

But us girls didn't know that...

and attacked them late at night.

Late at night?

In the midst of the night, Oki Kenji was alone...

Let's go.

It was instigated by Aota!

Erika found out later

but those under her didn't come to that conclusion.

So, ever since then, she felt responsible...

and sealed away her feelings for Oki Kenji.

Sealed away...

Even now, I think Oki Kenji

mistakenly believes that the night attack was Erika's doing.

But that's a false accusation. All of it was our bad!

So, as his little sister...

please clear up his misunderstanding!

So, that's what happened...

Aota.

It seems that you met up with that guy again.

And what about it?

You haven't forgotten about that incident 10 years ago, have you?

Leave.

If you become mine, Erika,

you'll never experience that kind of unhappiness again.

Leave now.

Long time no see, Oki Kenji.

Hey.

Where's Yasuko?

If you want her back,

you better start kneeling.

Can you not ignore me?

Butt out bastard!

Are you okay, Aota?

You bastard...

- Bastard! - What!?

I'll remember this.

Hey, bitch.

Let's go one-on-one now.

That's what I wanted.

What are you guys doing?

I found you, Yasuko!

Come!

- Ouch! - Stop! She doesn't want to.

Didn't you kidnap her?!

Erika would never do such a cruel thing like that!

Shut up!

Let's go!

Apologize to Erika!

Listen, Erika has feelings...

Yasuko!

- About that night attack... - Stop!

Kaori, you've been blabbing.

Erika.

Don't you think it's time?! Please tell him everything!

I have no clue what you're trying to say!

Let's go, Yasuko!

Wait!

What?!

Wait...

P-please...

Oh...

You're finally behaving modestly.

Fine. If you kneel right now, I'll forgive you.

What?!

What was that, you asshole!

I would never hand Yasuko over to a savage like you!

I'm keeping her!

- What the hell are you implying?! - Yasuko!

Who's better? Me or this savage!

Ah, that's cool with me!

Pick Yasuko! This damn bitch or me!

Her!

I win!

What's this? Cat got your tongue?

I'm home.

He has a crazy fever.

It's all because I said some mean things...

Erika, here.

Excuse me.

Boss!

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

- Let's go. - Okay.

Ai...

Mai...

Mi. Mine...

Ai? Mai?

Who's that?

It's English. I, My, Me, Mine.

Yeah, first person pronouns.

The boss has been secretly studying English all night on his own.

English?

He was also busy with work, but even in poor health,

he studied with all his might because he wanted to teach English to you.

It's funny... The boss can't even say the alphabet.

Boss?

I got enough rest.

Let's go.

- It's before deadline. - Yes, sir.

Boss.

Boss!

Boss.

He said deadline. Is he some sort of author?

Author? Is that so, Yasuko?

Ah, no.

Well...

I'll only tell you guys,

but after quitting the gang, he's been a comic artist since then.

- Comic artist?

He hides his identity and wants to keep it an absolute secret.

I see.

Well, I'll be going now.

Thanks a lot, Yasuko.

It...

was a first for me.

I was able to be kind to him.

I surprised myself.

Taking care of him like that,

made me extremely happy.

Erika!

I have an idea!

Pardon me.

Are you done with your food?

- Ah... - Okay.

Will my sister be alright?

It's fine. It'll go fine.

Liking someone is really something.

Yeah.

Do you have someone you like, Oki?

M-Me?

W-well...

It's you, Tsu-ba-ki!

Why would I? What are you saying?

Oh, I see.

How are things going?

Are you alright?

Ah...

You...

Oh no!

Wha...

What have you done, Miss Housekeeper!

This is the work of our blood and tears!

Ah, I'm sorry!

Um, let me wipe it!

Calm down, Erika!

It's okay! Let me handle it.

Erika?!

Are you that bitch?!

What the hell are you doing here?!

- Um, I was just... - You bastard...

you did this on purpose, huh?

- No... - It was an accident...

I don't give a shit if it was!

You went as far as disguising yourself to destroy my work!

Get outta here!

Get this damn bitch outta my sight right now!

You know, why do you only think of it that way?

What?

Erika was worried about your poor health,

so she came to the house thinking she could be helpful with something.

It's none of her business!

This is my turf!

No...

It's my work area!

Having no life, I'm a professional at this sacred place.

How dare you pollute that!

How can you care about comics more than someone's feelings?

Not even realizing Erika's feelings,

how can you draw comics that move people?!

It's only a manuscript...

but this "Sakuraba Reika" is really horrible!

Listen, Yasuko.

What.

I don't care if you call me horrible,

but I won't forgive you for calling "Sakuraba Reika" horrible.

You're disrupting my work.

Leave!

Yasuko!

I see.

So, Sakuraba Reika is mad.

Yeah, what happened to the manuscript was unfortunate,

but I think those cruel things he said were unnecessary.

No, it was totally my fault.

Eh?

It's like he said.

Seeing him today,

I felt that

comics are extremely special to him.

- I guess so... - Hey, hey.

He went that far

because of you, Yasuko.

Eh?

When you lost your parents, you two siblings were alone.

All you did was cry and he didn't know how to connect with you.

No matter what he did, it was hopeless.

But there was only one thing that did it.

Yasuko.

Miracle Yasuko's Great Adventure!

The wonderful journey begins!

Uh-oh! They're suddenly in trouble!

The princess appears!

Do your best, Princess Yasuko!

Don't give up, Princess Yasuko!

And with that done, Princess Yasuko lives happily ever after with her prince.

It was for the first time.

The first time you laughed ever since losing your parents.

During that time,

like a fool, he was happy.

So, that's how he became a professional comic artist.

When you're a comic artist,

you're always at home.

He wanted to always be with you when you were young.

Yeah, that's right.

That's exactly what he said.

I'm sorry, I...

Thanks for the food!

Yasuko.

Do you have a favorite name?

- Yeah, Yasuko. - So, "Yasuko." That's obvious.

Any others?

- Kenji! - Kenji...

Well, except for our names...

Hm... Oh yeah, Reika!

Why that name?

Because it sounds like a princess's name.

Ah, I see...

Sakura and petal... (Sakuraba Reika)

Rei-ka.

Okay, it's decided! My pen-name is...

Sakuraba Reika.

- Okay? - Okay!

Alright!

Yay!

When you're a comic artist,

you're always at home.

He wanted to always be with you when you were young.

Here.

Boss, good work!

Great.

Boss...

Are you asleep?

I'm about to pass out, too.

I'll go deliver this to the editor-in-chief.

You must be tired, too, Mosu. I'm really sorry.

- I'm leaving. - Thanks.

Wait.

Let me... deliver it.

No matter how many times you ask, I have to protect this manuscript with my life since it's the boss's.

That's why I want to deliver it.

Ouch...

That's dangerous!

Good evening.

Let me go home!

I... have something important to do!

That's too bad. We also have something important to do.

You're late.

Well now...

Shall we threaten your brother over the phone?

Can you let me borrow your cellphone?

No!

Don't come near me!

Stop it!

Erika.

Why...

Aota...

Return her to me.

Even though it's you asking that, I can't do that.

What did you say?

If you touch her, I won't go easy on you.

Erika, you want to save this brat that much?

I understand.

Only if you forget about Oki Kenji and swear that you'll be mine.

What?

How about it, Erika?

Erika!

Only if you agree to this.

Promise that you'll never show your face again in front of Yasuko and Oki Kenji.

No way!

Erika will never like you even if you make this deal.

It's because Erika is really in love with my brother!

That stupid...

That stupid brother...

She's foolishly in love with him!

Hey!

Cut her if she talks again.

Yasuko...

Oki Kenji.

Go get him!

Theme Song: TOKIO - Amagasa/Umbrella

What is this? Is it that important?

Give it back!

Give it back!

Shut up!

Yasuko!

Yasuko.

Aota!

Don't come near me!

Do you care what happens to this envelope?

I'm so lucky to have this as at my disposal.

I should've taken this instead of your sister.

Listen, don't move.

I'll let you do what you want with that.

What?

Burn it or whatever you want.

But never

lay a hand on my Yasuko or you'll regret it!

Boss!

I dunno who's worst!

Shut up!

It's my right to protect Yasuko!

Brother!

Please... stop.

- Let's go. - Yes, sir.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry...

for what I said about Sakuraba Reika.

Let's go home.

Wait.

You forgot something.

The contents are safe.

Erika, your hand...

- Damn bitch... - What?

You're not as bad as you look.

- Hey. - Yes, sir!

Erika, this is your only chance!

Tell him the whole truth about that one night he was attacked.

10 years ago...

that one night you were attacked...

Do you remember it?

It...

It was actually...

It was all this ass's doing, right?

Huh?

What about it?

"What about it," you say?

You knew all along.

You knew, but you still have this attitude?

You bastard...

You want to fight!

I didn't even consider it because you guys are women.

Isn't it because you're just scared?

Who's scared!?

You, bastard!

Who are you calling bastard?!

I'm calling you a bastard!

Like I said, who are you calling a bastard!

What?

So, he knew.

Even though he knew,

I really don't get where my brother's coming from.

Confirm this, Yasuko.

You really want to be a translator, right?

Well, I'm rethinking.

So, I don't need to teach you then.

Yeah, no need.

I'm saved. That dummy...

Did you say something?

Eh? I didn't say anything.

Ah, that's right. Are you free next Sunday?

Yeah, but why?

Pre-arranged marriage meeting.

Pre-arranged marriage? Who's?

Mine.

Oh, your pre-arranged marriage meeting.

What?!

What?
