Original subtitles

My name is Yusuke Tashiro and I'm from Kyushu.

I'm renting my Uncle's place in Tokyo now.

I would like...

I hope to have a great time with everyone during the next three years.

My name is Yusuke Tashiro.

Please tell me about Tokyo, because I don't know what it's like.

My name is Yusuke Tashiro.

Nice to meet you.

My name is Yusuke Tashiro!

Can you please tell me your name?

Are you here, Tashiro?

There aren't a lot of girls.

Bunch of ugly girls.

Hello, I'm Mr. Wada and I'll be your teacher starting today.

Nice to meet you all.

Alright, I'm going to start by taking attendance.

Before that I should mention that students at this school tend to get good grades...

so I don't think we'll have any problems.

But some kids suddenly start smoking once they get into high school.

It scares me that kids these days seem to smoke and enjoy it.

Right?

Not the time to be laughing.

Really, not the time to be laughing.

Alright, I'm going to take attendance.

Over here we have papers concerning IDs and tuition, so be sure to take them.

- OK, Kunio Aoki. - Here!

Very well. Take these.

Both of these papers. And, this is for you.

- Alright, Kimiko Ando. - Here.

Alright, take these. OK?

- Kazumi Kobayashi. - Here.

Shinji Somai.

This and this, OK.

Kozo Saito.

- Saito! - Oh, here.

Listen up. Come and get them.

- Matsumi Shimoyama. - Here.

Alright.

- Yasuhiko Shimoda. - Here.

OK.

- Yoshiko Shinohara. - Here.

- Akimi Sugimura. - Here.

OK, come and get these.

Yusuke Tashiro.

Tashiro?

Here!

Got some energy, huh?

Being loud is my specialty.

Alright.

- Hataru Nakayama. - Here.

Where's the energy?

This is my only specialty.

- Hm... Kumigo Nugao. - Here.

Hm... Keisuke Fugawa.

Here.

Kei Yamawa.

Yamawa!

Wow!

- Wow! - Wow!

Wow!

The Terrible Couple.

Why?

I'm already doing it.

Oh.

Prep-School, post-high school seminars.

What about you?

I might try out Boxing.

Oh, gain-seeker.

Thank you for earlier.

Oh, uh, no problem.

Fate helps those who help.

That's very cool.

Hey, are you joining a club?

He says he's going to join the boxing club.

Really? You shouldn't.

You're not going to survive. Not possible.

- Maybe you shouldn't do it. - Only apes join the boxing club, right?

Sorry for being an ape, then. You don't know until you try it out.

He totally is an ape.

You a freshman?

It's so new!

- Alright, try moving around. - What?

A warm up.

Yes, sir.

That's nice!

- You have talent! - Really?

You're meant to box.

- Write down your name. - OK.

Yes! $200 for me!

Hello! I'm Tashiro, the landlord.

Is he a she-male?

Is he already here?

Yes?

Oh my! Tashiro!

- Whoa! - Thanks for helping me at school today.

The landlord isn't here right now. Are you acquaintances?

- What about you? - Me?

See my stuff over there? I just moved here. Just now.

Nice to see you.

Is something the matter?

I'm the landlord.

You're joking, right?

No, I'm not!

You must be.

I'm serious.

The landlord said there would only be guys.

Hello? Is this Nagaya Real Estate?

Yes, I wanted to ask...

Wait! I already paid for everything!

I signed the papers and everything!

I'm already renting this place lawfully. It's decided and confirmed.

No, wait. I didn't hear anything about money!

You don't even know about things like that?

Listen.

I already paid $800.

$800?

That stupid real estate, earning some extra money.

You don't know anything, do you? You get $600 out of that money.

- Oh really? - Yup.

I can't be bribed with that amount.

Don't say that.

Oh, come on, landlord, I used up all my money.

Help me out! Let me stay for one month, until the next payment.

Please!

Just one month, alright? One month, no exceptions!

Alright, alright. Flareup all you want.

Is there anything that would be disrupted because of it?

Why do girls not understand things like this?

You ape.

Says who? You hairy ape!

Sorry I'm a hairy ape, you smelly ape!

What would a girl know?

I don't appreciate having to live alone with a girl in my class, OK?

Oh really? It's such a problem, huh?

It's because I'm a guy! I mean, think about it.

If people at school found out, what would happen?

What about our neighbors? Friends? Parents? What would happen if they found out?

There's no use worrying.

We'd get kicked out of school.

I'd get sent to a reformatory and you to a monastery.

There would be no hope!

You're one to talk.

It's not like we're going to do anything.

Shut up!

What if the telephone rang right now? Who would pick it up?

I think the landlord should pick it up.

What would I do if it's your parents?

This or that, we're going to have to deal with it.

I can't answer the phone!

You coward!

Wait, wait, wait!

My room gets a lot of sunlight. It's 118 square feet.

I think so.

- Why are you coming in without asking? - What are you doing?

It was from mom.

- My mom? - No, my mom.

That was close.

My mom said that she wants to say hi to the landlord.

You're practically sick.

"Rule ♪15."

"Those who wish to transfer or quit school must state their reason..."

"and ask their parents' permission."

"In case of quitting due to medical reasons,

the student must include a note from their doctor."

Why is it acting up?

What are you doing here?

Why would you peek in my room? You creep!

Are you kidding me? I didn't peek in your room!

But there were three guys.

Are you crazy? I don't have three bodies!

Dull!

Wow, that's juicy. The captain's girl and the freshman living together.

How times have changed.

Those kind of arrangements do exist.

I wanted to see her face.

And you're a high schooler? Why don't you act more like an adult.

And not be so deep in sleep?

And close your mouth!

"Let in the warm morning air into the large rooms..."

"where, on slim gold chairs, beneath, great gold mirrors..."

"the ladies of the court start talking and laughing."

Alright. Very good.

That was impressive.

Well, there are some places where the pronunciation was off.

So I will read for a bit.

"The Little Musician."

"One summer day, the castle stood quiet and majestic..."

"in the morning light."

Right here. Yamawa, translate this section.

Yes, sir.

I heard you want to become a translator in the future.

Well, dreams and reality are different.

We can still anticipate something good.

Everybody, listen.

I'll help you.

"One summer day, the castle stood quiet and majestic in the morning light."

Good.

"The countless number of windows looked upon the beautiful courtyard."

"The light shined upon the soft grass, lake, and trees..."

"And made the fountain in the middle of the lake look like silver rain."

"Every door in the castle was wide open..."

"The large hall was filled with the warm morning..."

A crying face.

A laughing face.

An angry face.

"Ran into the room in the corner of the castle."

"There was an arc chute in the middle of the room."

- "And…" - Hey.

- "That little boy..." - Tashiro.

Tashiro!

- I'm sorry! - What's going on?

Is dozing off your specialty too?

The first week will be ropes, and jump ropes.

And each week we'll jab, punch, and stretch!

Are you listening, huh?

We'll be teaching you. Understood?

Yes!

- You have a permanent? - It's natural.

I see. Very well!

Practice matches start tomorrow! Rest well today. Get moving!

- Thank you, goodbye! - Thank you, goodbye!

- Thank you, goodbye! - Yup!

Ah, this ain't good. How many do you think will stay?

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Tashiro. - Yes!

Here we go! We got a big one.

I heard that you slept in the same room as Kei last night.

Um, what's your relationship with Kei Yamawa, Captain?

Answer the question.

Yes!

Did you go all the way?

What are you talking about?

Breaking... the ear drums...

would cause you to become deaf.

Did Kei like it?

Did she resist?

I bet she resisted. Right?

No way.

- I really want to stab it now. - I'm telling the truth.

- We haven't even held hands. - There is still hope!

There is only one truth! Breasts, there are two!

Someday Kei will dance like a butterfly, and I will poke her like a bee!

That's for sure!

You too!

You win Kei over.

OK.

Something's going on.

What are you going to do with all that reading?

Well, my Uncle is a business man. I plan to become a government official.

If it goes well, ministry of finance if it doesn't, ministry of something else.

Really?

I am thinking of being a lawyer.

Oh?

I can play a little guitar too. A musician wouldn't be too bad either.

- And a boxer on top of that. - Perhaps.

Don't you think that you...

might just end going back home because everything failed?

What do you mean?

Are you saying that I'll bow profoundly?

You don't need to bow.

You bastard.

But you'll end up with Kei as a wife who doesn't do good.

Why would you say something like that, you jerk?

Wow, he started crying!

Why are you suddenly crying?

A 15 or 16 year old like you can't know what my future will be!

We won't know until it happens!

We have to let it happen!

You Tokyo ape!

I gotta pee.

You jerk! What are you doing?

If you're trying to make amends by prostituting, it's not going to work.

Prostituting?

- You're prostituting. - Sure, prostituting.

It's Swedish porn, keep it.

- You can't give me that, no, no. - I said keep it!

- Well then, thanks! - That's right. I'll walk you home.

Also, I'll go over to your house to hang out the next day off. We can invite Kei.

You jerk.

What did I do?

Say.

Welcome home. Make sure to gargle and wash your hands before you eat. - Kei.

Who does she think she is? Acting like she's so much older than me.

Stupid.

Just ignore her! Ignore her for this one month!

Yusuke.

What are you doing?

I was trying to study and then fell asleep.

I didn't know adjusting to a new life was so energy draining.

What were you doing until so late?

Huh?

What were you doing until so late?

Oh, shut up! You're going into people's rooms without asking.

But I'm scared of perverts.

I thought I'd sleep in the closet, since I felt bad about you sleeping in a closet.

No, go away, don't touch!

You silly. Tell me, what are you hiding there?

Shut up!

You need to learn to be more shy! More shy!

Shy, huh?

You would feel even more awkward if I were shy.

Shut up!

You wouldn't be sleeping in my room...

if you actually had any sense to be more shy!

Do you dislike living with me?

Look, it's Yura and Yamaguchi!

Wow, they're totally a thing.

- It makes me sympathize with them. - Why?

It's so tiring to be with guys because they're such brats.

She says so like an expert!

Right! Amazing!

Here comes the reason for fatigue.

- Can I have this? - What?

- This taste so good. - Oh, yeah?

I'll just take this too.

- What? - Why?

Please, I don't have a lunch today.

OK, then.

- Thank you very much! - OK.

Well there goes my lunch.

Hey!

Hey, wait up! Hey, you!

What?

Why would you do something so needy? You know I made you lunch this morning.

Everyone would know if I brought the same lunch as yours!

Tashiro?

Yup. He's the only one that could do something like this.

A skill only a monkey from Kyushu would know.

That's what attracts me to him.

Ah, really?

Well then, I'll leave you and him alone together.

Oh hey, Nakayama! It's looking like a love scene over there!

- Hey, hey, let's go look! - If you're fine with me...

I can play that part.

What?

That jerk!

- Are you OK? - Sorry.

I heard you live on your own.

Yup.

Me too. You should come over sometime.

You can help me study, or something.

If you have this, studying is a breeze.

What is this?

- Concentration. - I see. That's the problem, I can't focus.

Oh. What were you guys doing?

Hm?

What an interesting combination.

Say, do you want to live together?

I'm fine, thanks.

I know, I know! Huh? I know!

- Hey! Look! - Look at that!

- What is that? - Concentration.

It says “concentration”!

Tashiro!

Nakayama!

- You should get off. - Quick!

That's not safe!

Tashiro!

- They should probably come back. - Get over here!

Hurry up and come back, guys!

What are you guys doing?

- Sorry. - What are you doing?

I said sorry!

You're not sorry.

I told you to do this seriously!

- Stop it, we'll fall off. - It's your fault!

You jerk!

Tashiro!

- Teacher! - Yusuke!

Alright, I'm coming!

Yusuke!

Alright everyone, smile!

Keep smiling!

Don't smile!

- One, two, three, four! - One, two, three, four!

Captain!

- Kei! - You can do it!

Thanks!

- Here we go! - I can do it!

- Hey there, president! - Don't die!

You can do it!

Don't die!

Kei, let's go home.

Are you going to be late?

No, just this.

You can do it. I'll wait here.

- One, two. One two... - One, two. One two...

Fight on!

Thanks.

Where did you get that?

I just took it from the garbage dump.

Eh?

I'll make cookies for a snack today, OK?

Can't you even eat a snack I make?

She gave me cookies. They're homemade.

From who?

I just have a lot of fans.

Throw an upper cut, then a jab!

- You're terrible. - What did you say?

Did a kindergartner bake these?

Is a kindergartner jealous over there?

Hey, no! Wait!

Wait!

Get off!

The breaks don't work!

You fool.

You OK? Talk to me.

I'll call an ambulance, OK?

Idiot.

Who's the idiot here?

But the bicycle…

OK, OK! I'll buy you a bike!

Really?

You idiot! I'm the one with legs that hurt!

It's your fault!

Why isn't this guy noticing?

You'd think he would notice.

- Well, thanks a lot, Mister! - Thank you!

- Hello. - Hey!

I have to pee.

You chicken! That's not fair!

OK, fine! I'll pick up the phone!

Alright.

- You can do it! - Thanks.

What's the matter? I know you can do it!

- Right? - Thank you.

Um, hello?

Yes. Yes, yes.

I see.

OK, I understand. Sorry for the trouble.

What's the matter?

Hey, who was that just now?

The girl who baked you cookies? She rejected you, didn't she?

Incorrect.

Then who? Does it have to do with me?

Yup.

It's already been a month.

The monthly payment?

- Was that the bank? - Correct.

What is it?

I thought about eating dinner.

Oh, now you want to? You didn't eat my cooking for a month.

OK, then.

It's OK, you can eat.

Is there a menu? Where is the menu?

How arrogant. Just stir-fried bean sprouts with tofu and meat.

That will do.

- What about yours? - I only made enough for one person.

I'm fine, then.

Come back. You need to eat a lot and gain your energy!

Acting like you're older, huh?

Someone has to be the adult, you can't do anything on your own.

Watch it. That is going too far.

It's been too far for a while.

You're greedy.

Look who's talking.

- This is good. - It has garlic.

This is really good.

You should have told me sooner.

I've been missing out on this for a month.

Ah.

I want to eat something like this tomorrow too!

Last thirty!

- There's space under your armpits, Yusuke. - Yes, sir.

Your body's moving back.

A little more to the left.

Hey.

We should quit soon.

Sure. I can hardly stand this anymore.

Let's go.

Good luck!

- Hello. - What do you think you're doing?

What did I do?

You really know nothing, do you? Throwing a towel is a sign of losing in boxing.

Oh, really? I get it!

I see that you two are the only freshmen left...

but you won't quit, will you, Yusuke?

Of course not.

What kind of personality do you have?

Sorry.

I'm quitting, alright?

Why don't you rest well tomorrow since it's Sunday?

Hm?

- I'll be going out though. - Why?

Does it have anything to do with you?

I didn't know there were so many people.

Is it your first time here?

Yes, I don't go out to the city often.

I couldn't sleep well last night.

That's not good! You should try out a sport, too.

You can sleep really well if you sweat.

Even through dealing with mean, people-pleasing, impolite, honest...

heroic, or unhelpful people...

I only seek a little bit of stimulation to give myself a break.

During unexpected hardships, as I live the rest of my life in this body...

no wise person can truly become anything great.

- Say. - Yes?

Have you already thought about your future?

I have been thinking that I want to become a lawyer.

It probably won't work out, though.

Don't say that. I'm sure you can do it.

Thank you.

Thank you. What about you?

I want to be a lawyer's wife.

You're the most authentic guy I've ever met, and that makes you so attractive.

It's lovely.

You make me sound like I'm an ideal guy.

No way.

I don't think there's anything between us.

You're straightforward.

I don't know how to put it. I become more like myself when I'm with you.

Really?

He doesn't.

What?

That bamboo shoot family thing was interesting.

It was so fun!

Hey, you should try to dance sometime.

Really?

Ouch... what?

Hey, you two.

Oh, hello.

Hey!

You look great together.

Thanks. You too.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - It's Yusuke, right?

How about you make one too, Kei?

I would like one, please.

OK, what do you want me to carve into it?

My name...

“Acceptance” sounds nice.

Say.

Do you think this building or that building is taller?

- That one. - Then, how many stories is it?

About fifty stories.

Look.

- What, Kei? - Look over there.

What's over there?

I want to become a couple like that, too.

So you want to gain 60 years in age suddenly?

I don't want that.

Don't you think it's nice to live while growing even closer together, Sugimura?

Goodbye, then. See you tomorrow.

Yeah. Goodbye.

Thank you for coming every time.

They say that whoever uses others for entertainment

will end up becoming entertainment themselves...

though non-categorized entertainers exist.

These entertainers are everywhere.

And these, having no category, aren't restricted to certain melodies.

They find a song wherever they are, whenever it is...

and they may take it out on peasants.

And this entertainer here...

although having a range in uses, seems to be lacking in the area of talk...

causing not every customer to love it.

This guy's so bad. It's hilarious!

He's bad, but you're worse.

How dare you?

I can't compete with that.

Pass me the soy sauce.

Here.

Thank you.

This is tasty, can I have seconds?

- Say. - What?

Never mind.

- Do you want milk? - Uh, no.

You should take a bath.

I don't need to today.

Sugimura is pretty, isn't she?

- Not really. - Yes, she is.

Hm...

She can even bake cookies.

Are you jealous?

You're kidding, right? You should have just been honest.

You know, I become more like myself...

when I'm with Sugimura.

Nakamura said the exact same thing when he's with me.

I don't care.

He said that he'd help me with all the paperwork

if I decided to join a prep-school seminar.

- He's very nice. - "He's very nice."

You're jealous, aren't you?

Idiot. You think I'd become jealous?

If not, why would you be mad?

What's so wrong with talking about Nakayama or what happened today?

You're annoying!

You're not answering my question.

Shut up!

Why are we always like this?

I'm tired of it, that's what I am. Very, very tired.

Why don't you leave this house?

I need to concentrate.

Need to focus, be my best. I need to concentrate.

This time I'm pure.

Hey!

Captain!

What's wrong?

Here!

Do you have an extra futon?

- Futon? - Futon.

Do you have one?

Yes.

I need a favor from you, then. I'm staying here, no final date.

Hey, Kei! Guess we're neighbors for a while.

Wow, you have really cute hands.

Hey, where's the bathroom?

The bathroom? The guys' is upstairs.

I see.

I guess I'll go use it.

You can do it!

What is that, Yusuke?

Yes!

What is that, Yusuke?

You're looking sloppy, Kyushu man.

What is that psychopath thinking?

What do you mean?

It's already been a week since he came!

What do you need to do?

I need to tell him straight out to leave.

You need to man up!

That's right. I just need to tell him very clearly.

Try kicking him out with all your power!

"Time is forever a traveler, it comes and goes like one."

"Like a bow that spends its life on a boat over rivers..."

"or cargo carriers who age working..."

Do you see Kei often in town?

- Why? - You live in the same town, right?

Say, Mr. Oda.

Do you know what this means?

What is that? A curse?

Girls do that to boys.

Is Captain Oda there?

- He's in the bathroom. - Oh, OK.

I should tell him next time I see him!

Tell him what?

To leave.

Not like you would have the guts to.

Shut up, I will!

I'll help you with your sit ups.

- Alright. - I'll start!

I can't hear you. Speak up.

Please, leave.

That's an interesting idea. Can I take Kei too?

How about it?

But she doesn't have anywhere else to go.

Hey, Kei. Do you want to come with me?

Hm...

- Hm... - I'm not asking you!

- Go on. - What?

Go on.

Yes.

Well, I think your house is great too.

However...

your parents would be at your house.

So I think that she'd be a bother to...

Idiot.

She's not coming to marry me.

Hey, Kei, what do you want to do?

I can't answer properly.

Yes or no? That's all you have to say.

Well, I feel like there are times when you can't say either.

Come with me.

Let's do it.

- Please don't! - Girls should stay out of it!

Good job, idiot. Get over here.

Come and get me!

What's the matter?

Is that all you can do? Come on!

What are you doing?

Watch out. You idiot!

You said it would be over when I threw the towel!

I'm your referee. That's why I don't accept this towel.

I'm not even in the top 100. Why a lawyer?

Yusuke.

- I don't need your sympathy. - That's silly.

It's only the result of a single piece of paper.

You don't understand.

Hey, what are your plans for summer break?

I'm going back home.

Do you want to travel together before you go back?

You're amazing, Nakayama. You're in second place.

It's no use if I'm not the best.

Ugh, dang it.

Let's go somewhere to take our minds off things.

Nakayama, you're the one who told me that...

Japan is bigger than Tokyo, and your mind is bigger than Japan.

So you shouldn't let things get the best of you.

That's just nonsense Soseki said.

Let's go somewhere.

Right.

Maybe some other time.

Yusuke.

Why are you so annoying?

I wonder if we'll change as the seasons do.

Oh, Yusuke! How are you doing?

- Go get that big guy! - Get him!

Get him!

Here they come.

Welcome home!

- Hey, I'm back! - I missed you so much!

Me too.

I'll hold your stuff.

It's OK.

I brought back this brooch carved out of bamboo.

I have lots of stories to tell, too.

Maybe this was good...

to be apart for a while then to see each other again.

Hello?

Is this Yusuke Tashiro?

Yes, yes.

I'm the Vice Principal of the school.

Vice Principal?

I heard that Kei Yamawa from your grade lives with you.

I'm coming over to check now. But if it's true, expect to be expelled immediately.

I don't want to be separated!

It's the last time...

so it's OK, Yusuke.

I'm fine.

We were together for a few months...

and you were so beautiful.

I'll dissect your body afterwards...

and all the adults will be mesmerized.

Yusuke...

Fine, fine. We're fine.

Idiot, idiot, idiot.

It's the last time, so it's OK.

Yusuke.

Welcome home!

What a horrible expression.

Sorry I didn't ask you first, but I decided to move to the second floor.

- Huh? - I thought about a lot of things.

And I think it's not right for us both to be on the first floor.

Especially since we can get distracted.

Plus, those grades aren't going to help you become a lawyer.

It's the second semester, you must prioritize your studies!

Oh, I just remembered. Help me move my stuff later, OK?

You idiot!

What do you think you're doing in someone's house?

You jerk!

Don't get mad! I'm thinking of your good.

I don't need that!

I told you not to act like you're so wise!

- You're turning into an Air-Head again. - Shut up!

My Aunt and Uncle specifically told me not to use this room.

Why?

The Vice Principal…

The Vice Principal?

Hello. Yes.

Oh, hello!

Yes, he just came back.

Thank you for your help.

What is wrong with her?

No, thanks to you too.

- Split personalities. - Yes.

Trying to sound sexy.

The day after tomorrow?

If it's late afternoon... yes!

Hey.

What's up?

How was going back home?

Nothing special.

Did something happen? You're gloomy.

You look great too!

I have something I want to talk to you about.

Why?

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

What happened to your glasses?

Are you changing yourself?

Good morning!

- Are you doing well? - Yes, of course.

You're the only cheerful one around.

What were you guys talking about earlier?

This is why I hate split personalities!

Shut up, doofus!

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Well, where did everyone go for summer break?

What's wrong with you?

I went to California.

I'm not lying!

My whole body is so tan!

So pale!

It's a struggle.

Well, starting today it's second semester, so let's do our best.

Huh?

Where's your reply?

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

Something happened?

Not really.

Well, that's good.

This. It's a brooch carved from bamboo.

For me?

Of course.

Really?

What's wrong with you?

Thank you.

Why don't you come over tonight? I want to talk.

Tonight… I'll go over sometime.

Say, Kei.

Yes?

- Do you have prep-school today? - Yes.

Say.

You've been strange since before summer break.

Do you think so?

Do you like someone?

Maybe Yusuke?

Yusuke?

State your reasoning. Within 100 characters.

I mean, it's fine.

Let's hang out after your practice is over.

Too bad. I've been invited to dinner tonight.

Thank you, good game.

- Good job. - Good job.

- Yusuke. - Yes?

A game.

An actual game?

I'm not ready for that!

The tournaments start in a little over a month.

However, whether or not you participate in these...

depends on your results in the practice matches.

Practice matches?

- Who is my opponent going to be? - Captain, take me!

It's you.

Yusuke, I'm not going to go easy on you.

I know that. I can't compete with an upperclassman.

- I'm going to try my best in this. - OK.

- So do your best, alright? - Yes, sir.

Listen.

Yes?

I was thinking that maybe you and Kei had some sort of relationship.

But it seems that I was wrong.

I wouldn't have a relationship with her.

She's probably on a date right now with some guy we don't know.

Seems like it.

How do you know, hm?

Should I spill the beans?

Sure.

Spill it, OK? Spill everything.

Alright, we'll do that.

- You know... - Hm?

We're actually renting out a room at my place...

and it's Kei that rents it.

Really?

And did you do it?

About that...

it's actually pretty awkward to do anything when you're living in the same house.

Don't drink too much.

Not coming back anymore?

I'm going home, OK?

I'll stay a bit longer.

We're kind of in a fight right now, so it's awkward to go home.

Have a drink. My treat.

Well, see ya, handsome guy.

- I'm going home and sleep. - Why don't you have a drink too?

No, thanks. I'm heading out.

Alright, till next time.

- Bye, good luck at your game! - Thanks!

- What's the matter? - This is alcohol.

- That's right. - That's unexpected.

Have a drink.

I'm on a diet right now.

You're scared, aren't you?

No, that's not the case.

Then drink it, OK?

- I said I'm fine. - Come on, drink it.

Some other time.

Bye, bye.

- Very cold? - Well, quite cold.

And you must take care of yourself when you get to New York.

Why?

Well, there's plenty of bad people all over.

I see.

Bye, OK?

Yusuke?

Take care. Bye.

Bye.

Ah, welcome home!

I was treated to a wonderful dinner tonight.

I even learned a dance.

Here, let's dance. Ready?

Stop it.

- Oh, come on. - Stop it!

Come on.

If you don't stop, I'll cobra twist you.

What's a cobra twist?

Alright!

This is how you do it.

That tickles!

I'll show you.

You idiot!

It'll be over if we do anything!

What do you expect me to do? I like you.

What's wrong with kissing someone I like?

That's not fair. You didn't need to say it at a time like this!

Then when am I supposed to say it? Stupid!

What do you mean stupid? You idiot!

Say.

Do you like me?

Do you?

We have three more years. Three whole years until we graduate.

What are you going to do...

if I end up with a baby and you with a milk bottle?

You have to think about that!

You knucklehead!

Oh, I want to feed you the scum off of Hoshida's nails.

What's that about Hoshida?

The person I saw today. I met him back home.

He's in his second year of the law department.

He's totally tricking you!

Shut up!

You wouldn't even be able to get accepted to the law department.

I can really see that looking at Hoshida.

Idiot. I don't need any of that for tomorrow.

Punch, jab!

I didn't realize that you were supposed to use your trump card...

when you're afraid of exposing your real intentions.

She apparently finally put it out there...

after thinking about it many times.

I should have noticed for her, each little bashful gesture.

However, I didn't.

Then, a raging idea took over my mind.

Report anonymously.

Am I destined to be alone?

For example, let's say a man and a woman live together.

There are probably only two choices, right?

They either grow closer or they fight and leave.

Ah.

What do you mean?

Nothing. Well.

Do things keep on going...

if you forgive them once?

Who knows?

If that was the case, I wonder who would take responsibility?

Maybe it would be the guy.

If it were you, you would definitely take responsibility, right?

I can't compete with you, can I?

A little more! A little more!

What are you doing?

Do you want to lose in the practice match? Concentrate!

Jab, jab! Jab, jab!

Jab, jab! A little more!

Not like that, like this! Hook!

What are you thinking?

Go over there!

Hi.

Yo.

What's up? You suddenly called me. Who was that girl just now?

She says she's a freshman. Don't know how to handle her.

We've just met, and she's already asking if I would take responsibility.

I can't tell if she's mature or just a baby.

Are you sick again?

I've had it with her.

It's hard to tell if you're nice or just stupid.

To invite me out just to make her give up.

"He worked on construction of a river at 15 years..."

"and had taken on a job of overseeing rice fields at 40."

"In the end, he was promoted to a higher position."

Yusuke?

Does the thought of your match tomorrow distract you that much?

You need to calm down.

Say...

could I stay over tonight?

That's fine.

Isn't there something you should tell me before that?

Do you want to sleep now?

The room over there.

I…I'm living together with Kei.

She's dating someone I don't know.

I guess that's off-topic.

It has nothing to do with it.

You need to go to bed.

September, 23rd Yusuke hasn't come home yet.

No message. No phone call either. Today I went to Yokohama, and...

Down! Go over there!

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

Nine.

Can you do it?

Alright!

Box!

Halt!

Get ready.

One.

Who are you boxing for?

Me?

Kei?

It's for yourself!

Huh, Yusuke?

If that's all the motivation you've got, go home right now!

It's the last round. Yusuke, are you going to do it?

You can do it!

You can do it!

Break!

Box!

Down! Go over there!

Dude, give your all! It's an underclassman!

Sorry.

But come on, it's fine. It worked.

That's true.

Good job, Yusuke. Next are the tournaments.

Congratulations, Yusuke!

What is there to congratulate me about?

Ugh! Giving herself away!

- Yusuke. - That jerk is such a fake!

- Stop, don't do that. - How dare him!

He's just using her!

And after all that, Kei dares to mock me with a 'Congratulations!'.

She's so stupid.

Yusuke.

Kei.

I'll go home right away.

Please, come in.

Hello.

Welcome.

Say.

What's with the welcome? What are you doing here?

You're acting all personal, not referring to me by Mr.

Ouch!

I don't remember allowing you to refer to me impolitely either!

Both of you need to calm down.

Say.

How about the three of us have some alcohol?

To calm ourselves.

You're depraved, Sugimura.

Maybe so.

Who's talking, you corrupt girl!

Tell me. Tell me more!

Disordered digestion, malnourished, underdeveloped!

Why don't you go ahead and say more?

You animal!

I didn't come here to say any of this, you know?

Then why did you come?

You made me forget by making me mad!

Idiot!

I remember.

- Oda said... - What?

What did he say?

- Not like you could do anything yourself. - Shut up, you jerk.

He brought over some points to think about until your match.

I don't need any of that!

Ah, is that so?

I'll leave this with you because it has a lot of details.

Kei!

Yusuke, don't eat too many cookies.

Remember you're on a diet.

Goodbye!

Why don't you go home for her?

Kei's waiting.

You're an idiot, Yusuke.

What's the matter with you? What's the matter?

Am I...

pretty?

Am I...

pretty?

Yeah, you're cute.

Am I prettier than Sugimura?

It's not like that!

It's not like that at all!

Can't you just show me your usual smile?

Please.

Hey, hey!

Just a little more.

Heave-ho!

- Heave-ho! - Heave-ho!

One, two.

One, two.

Hurry up! You can do it!

One, two.

"Four, one, two."

"Four, two, one."

This is Koei Masuda.

Mrs. Koei?

Right now, um, I'm in the...

lobby, on the first floor.

Hello? How can I help you?

I set up a bomb.

Hello? Hello? Who is speaking?

It's going to go off in five seconds.

Are you able to escape?

- H-hello? - Four seconds.

- Hello? - Three.

Two.

- Hello? - One!

Hello, this is the Law School.

Oh, the Law School?

Yes, who should I forward your call to?

Hm...

the Vice Principal please.

Alright. He'll be with you shortly.

Hello, this is Yamamoto, the Vice Principal.

Hm...

Hm...

Hello?

What is it?

There's a rumor going around...

that Yusuke Tashiro and Kei Yamawa...

two freshmen in class three at your school, live together. Is that true?

Alright, here we go!

Around and around. Some more.

Well...

it seemed long and short at the same time.

Here's your deposit.

Thank you.

Hm.

I also...

calculated...

the rest of the rent...

to give back to you.

Thank you.

So...

It's time for you to go.

See you tomorrow.

He ran off during the night, the owner of the bar.

Isn't it crazy? How finances can stress you out so much?

Why are you here?

I am technically his daughter.

I kept this hidden.

Are you still on a diet?

No, no.

No help even though you're moving, huh?

That's true, no help.

No help for sure. I wonder why.

How's your girlfriend doing?

Huh, which one?

I don't know which one.

What's the matter?

It's over.

Over?

I think it's over.

Really?

Congratulations.

It's lonely, isn't it?

- Did you know... - Hm?

In Kyushu, they pronounce it as 'lonely'.

Rock, paper, scissors!

Rock, paper, scissors!

Aw, man, I lost.

Rock, paper, scissors!

I lost again.

This time, I'll win. Rock, paper, scissors!

I'm terrible at this.

I'll be winning now.

Rock, paper, scissors!

I lost.

Here I go.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I forgot to ask your name.

Studying abroad?

Yes. It's something I'd decided even before high school.

I had a lot of fun, but I leave tomorrow.

How are you?

- That's cute! - I thought so too!

But I want the guys to say it's flashy.

- Bye, bye. - Bye, bye.

Bye, bye.

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow is Yusuke's boxing match!

You being there will be plenty for him, Kei.

Tell me, why aren't you telling Yusuke?

Hey, hey.

Yeah!

Yeah, yeah!

- Later. - Yeah, yeah!

I can't compete with you, after all.

That's not true.

Kei, did you tell Yusuke that you like him?

You need to tell him.

Perhaps, you're talking about this?

Tell him before the game tomorrow. For me, too.

In fact, the two of us...

Never mind. I won't say.

You jerk. What were you doing?

Who knows.

- Hey, Yusuke. - What is it?

You're free, right?

Are you kidding?

Hey, you women, why don't you give this a go?

- Wow, look at this! - Give it a go!

- It seems great. - Of course.

Alright, you ready?

- OK! - Go ahead!

Yes.

Alright, one, two, three.

Go!

Alright!

- It's me! - Take that!

Here I come!

- Take that! - I'm here!

It's me!

- Here, here! - Take it!

- Again! - Ah, he got away.

Take this!

- It's me! - Take this!

- This way! - Here I come!

Take this!

You guys are so bad at it!

I'm tired of seeing your faces, so I'm going to turn around, OK?

- Take this. - Here I come!

Take it!

Here I come!

Take this...

Take that!

Take this...

Ouch.

Here.

Nakayama.

Don't slack off on your job, you jerk!

Come on, do it properly!

Take this.

Take this.

Alright everyone, here we go!

You guys don't bother smiling even when I tell you to...

so, don't worry about smiling today.

OK!

Yusuke.
