The city's a grim place during the holidays.

People are just too damn happy.

You choose someone, they choose you,

and they all have a happy weekend.

And yet, I'm...

- We're having a grand opening. - Excuse me...

And yet, I'm not even chosen for a tissue handout.

The boy I liked always chose my friends

instead of me.

Even though they're ugly.

Why? Why is it always like that...

Ah! I'm sorry! Sorry!

Ah. Eh? What?

Ah...

It's cracked.

I'm not always the one chosen.

And I thought my life was going to be like that.

- I'm so sorry! - They're all cracked!

- Tomorrow's the exhibition! What are we gonna do? - What should we do?

I will go and apologize to the client.

Please do that!

These lights will be deducted from your salary!

- Eh? Eh? - I'm the one who should be crying! God.

Get me some replacement lights, ASAP!

Ah, damn it!

Damn you, President!

What sort of company takes money out of their paycheck, that's so black!

(company)

I give up my days off for work.

I'm gonna quit!

I'm home!

I'm gonna use that as my last resort to quit this job!

My last bastion,

5 years in a relationship, 3 years of living together.

My boyfriend, whose only merit is that he never gets angry no matter what I do!

- Takeo! - Welcome home...

Takeo.. I'm quitting my job. Is that okay?

Eh? It's okay, though but what are you going to do if you quit?

Takeo, how long have we been together? Five years?

5 years of dating, 3 years of living together,

so it's about time, don't you think?

- It's about time... - I was thinking the same thing myself.

Eh?

I have something important to say to you.

Takeo...

Taeko.

- I think we should break up. - Eh?

Well, you see, I was just packing my things.

It's still amazing how we've been together for five years.

- Eh... Wai... Eh... - I come home tired,

and I just can't listen to your bitching anymore.

I can't choose you, Taeko, after all.

So marriage, which was your last hope, disappeared

and that's what happened to you.

No one will ever choose me anyway in my whole life.

You should at least change your eyeglasses.

I'm going to have poor vision for the rest of my life anyway...

- Oh, there it is, there it is... - Eh?

Look, isn't she pretty? I just matched with her.

- What's that? A dating service? - It's not.

It's a matching app.

- Taeko-san, why don't you use it too? - Eh... It's kinda scary.

It's okay, they have strict identity verification,

and unlike dating services,

they're looking for serious people to meet.

Serious hookups? Have you? You're just playing with me.

I just want to give love to everyone.

Look.

There are so many girls who think I'm "good", you know?

If that's the case, then I should respond to that feeling.

That's called playing!

Don't tell me that you're ignoring my messages? LOL

______Hey_______

_______ Say something_________

_____________ Say something______________

______ Are you ignoring me?______

________ It's really irritating_______

___________You're a jerk!_________

Ah...

And sometimes, I get matched with these persistent women.

Blocked...

You've blocked Mikako.

________You're a jerk!________

____Hey_____

_______ Are you ignoring me again?_______

________Hello!_________

___Are you even alive?___

Hmm... Come on, what is this guy's deal?

Be careful, okay? There's a lot of guys out there who only wanted sex.

I can't believe that I was played...

I won't allow it!

Forget about him.

Matching apps are

there for your own enjoyment.

I let them buy me dinner

and look over my entry sheet.

You're doing that?

Eh... Really?

That's amazing, isn't it?

How do you respond calmly when a subordinate makes a mistake?

That's where the qualities of a manager come into play.

Hmm... I see what you mean.

So what do you want to do after this, Mikako-chan?

No, I'm not trying to be weird, but it just so happens that we live near each other.

If you'd like...

- Congratulations on your wedding anniversary. - Thank you.

- That's so sweet, don't you think so? - Thank you, honey.

I want to be like that someday...

Eh! What's wrong?

Are you okay?

My wife... she left me...

Eh...

I can't believe that I was matched with such a beautiful woman.

Frankly, I was surprised. - No, not at all.

Everyone shuns a 29-year-old divorced woman.

Your age and past don't matter to me, though.

Haruto-kun, your number of "Likes" is huge, is it not?

And your profile always appears at the top of the list.

Are you playing around?

Ah, come to think of it, there are no more trains now, are there?

- Yes. - What are you gonna do?

I'm in Yutenji. Where's yours, Sakiko-san?

Hey, I got something to tell you.

Eh?

Get in.

No matter how many "likes" you get,

it doesn't mean that someone loves you.

Eh...

Thanks for today. It was fun.

- Driver, to Yutenji. - Okay.

No, wai...

What does that mean?

That's a terrible photo...

There's a lot of them out there, who only wants to be treated to a meal.

Meshimoku

Be careful of those who make you buy things and do nothing in return.

Huh?

Like shampoo and makeup remover and so on.

They make you buy cheap stuff that they think is acceptable, and that's their characteristic.

How terrible.

Thank you. I learned a lot.

But I can't believe Kase has such a

reliable friend among her friends.

Reliable, yes, but he's just looking for sex, really.

You say that in such a harsh tone.

Taeko-san, you are using the app after all, aren't you?

I couldn't stand the fear of being alone all the time,

so I registered...

Where I am then reminded of my reality...

Nice to meet you. I haven't had a chance to meet

anyone, so my friend recommended me to join.

Only eight!

That's less than mine!

In any case, I'm just a woman that no one will ever choose.

Taeko-san, you should switch apps.

Eh?

If you are an advanced user like me, you can use several different apps.

Here's why.

Each app has its own characteristics.

Age range of women

Level of commitment

For dating purposes

For romantic purposes

For marriage purposes

For dating purposes

The one Taeko is currently registered with is a

casual one for the younger age groups.

For romantic purposes

For marriage purposes

So it would be better for you to re-register for something more marriage-oriented.

- Oh, I see! - The next one are the "Likes".

Obviously, the more "likes" you get, the more appointments you get with the right person.

Like I told you I can't get any of those "likes"!

- Leave it to me. - Eh?

Who do you think I am, huh?

I am that guy with 500 likes, remember?

You can't take too many photos, but you also can't take a few,

and you can't take too many selfies.

Look either pessimistic or narcissistic.

If you dabble in any hobbies, you can check the OK box.

Please consider a slight exaggeration to some extent.

I'm popular?

Being clear about your terms will lead to an appointment.

Women are more likely to get "likes," so go strong at first.

I'm gonna do it.

No... Definitely no...

"Like"...

No. Totally like! Like...

That's a no...

Appointment No. 1

Lives in Tokyo

Management Consultant

42 years old

Appointment Number One:

Living in Tokyo, Management consultant, and 42 years old.

People often tell me that I look good in photos.

Is that so?

170 cm. would be better.

As for body type, I guess it's normal...

Appointment Number Two:

Appointment No. 2

Lives in Chiba Prefecture

Accountant

28 years old

Lives in Chiba Prefecture, Accountant, and 28 years old.

Actually, I have something I want you to see, Taeko-san.

Wait, it's a little bit too early for that, don't you think?

Why don't you join me and live your best life?

Let's go with 6 million.

Ah... How about 166.5 cm. Yes!

Appointment Number Three:

Lives in Ibaraki Prefecture, office worker, and 38 years old.

Appointment No. 3

Lives in Ibaraki Prefecture

Office worker

38 years old

I feel at ease when I am with you, Taeko-san.

Can I contact you again?

Eh, definitely! I look forward to your call.

Thank goodness.

Wow, I'm glad.

I waited and waited for a week,

but I never heard from him...

When I checked out his profile today, it had been removed...

When someone has found their partner, they delete their profile.

That's how matching apps work.

It was going so well. Why...? !

Ah, ah... I got a match! I got a match! Eh!

Appointment Number Four:

Appointment No. 4

Lives in Tokyo

Civil servant

28 years old

extremely handsome

Lives in Tokyo, public servant, 28 years old,

and extremely handsome!

Aah! Ahh! There he is!

There he is! There he is... there he is!

Oh, God, this sucks!

Damn it, why...

Don't worry, it's what's inside that matters! It's what's inside that counts!

Ah...

Ah, excuse me...

You're HASE-san, right?

Nice to meet you. I, um...

Well, you're not exactly like the profile.

What the hell am I doing...?

Helping me, of course.

I don't really know what an entry sheet is.

You said we could go to a family restaurant,

and I was happy to learn that you weren't a meshimoku.

Do you do this all the time? Using the app.

It was different at first.

But then I met the biggest jerk of all.

I'm so glad to hear from you again, Sakiko-san.

The girls who "liked" you will hate me

for monopolizing Haruto-kun twice.

Because Sakiko-san is more to me

than those 500 "likes".

It's our first appointment and yet he took me to this restaurant?

No, no. It's not about the money, it's what's inside that counts!

Ah, I'm sorry, I'm the only one... but do you not drink?

It's not that I can't drink, it's that I don't want to.

I see...

What was that? The way he said it.

No, no, no, I'm sure he's just nervous.

I'm sure he's just a klutz.

- Thank you for waiting... - Wow... It looks delicious.

I'll share it with you, okay?

- What the hell are you doing? - Eh?

If you're trying to be witty, it's quite the opposite, actually.

It's common knowledge that yakitori loses its flavor when removed from the skewer.

You're right...

It's like he just said something sarcastic.

And it's a pretty big one.

- Hey, hey, are you serious? - What?

Break the joint in the opposite direction like this.

Eat the chicken wings first.

That's it!

I can't believe you don't know how to eat chicken wings at your age.

Hey, what did you just say?

I think you'd better be careful.

If you were five years younger, you might look cute,

but at your age,

you look pitiful.

This guy's a jerk.

And an oversized one at that!

I see. You're a Yarimoku and Yarisute.

No, it's Meshimoku, Yarimoku and Yarisu...

- Do you think I'm an idiot? - I'm sorry.

I think he is still out there, playing somewhere...

Ah! I'm so angry!

Please help me out next time.

I'm going to track him down one day. That son of a bitch.

Ah... But why are you looking for him?

Isn't it obvious?

I want to punch him in the face!

Like that...

Thanks for dropping me off. Goodbye.

So, that's it? It's over....

I'm satisfied with where I am right now.

Simply knowing that you're young and popular

and want to do it.

- Are you just teasing me? - Sorry.

Me, too. When I was young, I was adored to some degree.

Just like you, Haruto-kun, right now.

But before I knew it, all the men around me

had disappeared.

So you're saying you used me for your own self-gratification?

But Haruto-kun, isn't that what you want? Aren't you just looking for someone to have sex?

Or do you like me?

I don't know if I like you.

I don't know why it has to be a divorcee woman in her 30s.

Of course I was just playing.

How sad it was that you were comforted by something like that...

Ah, no...

- Huh? - So why are you doing it like that?

I told you twist the joint. Like this!

Then eat the chicken wings, like this!

How did I get into this mess over chicken wings?

I want to go home... I really want to go home...

Did you say something?

That's been ringing for a while.

They're matching, one after the other, even as we speak.

You're pretty honest, aren't you, Hasegawa-san?

That's how it is with matching apps.

The assumption is that you are seeing someone else, an open affair if you will.

Ha... How many people have you met so far?

- This is my 108th. - 108th!?

There are so many women that are so different from their profiles that I don't know who they are.

What the hell? This guy.

If I knew you were like this,

I wouldn't have "liked" you!

Well, Hasegawa-san is not the same as his profile.

You have a more refreshing smile in your profile.

You are saying that in a very sarcastic way, aren't you?

I laugh when it's funny, and I don't when it's not. That's it.

I'm sorry. I'm a boring girl, okay?

One piece of advice from such a boring woman, why not

make the first appointment at a more fashionable restaurant?

Your taste is questionable.

You're eating that really well actually.

Because... it's delicious.

I'm glad to hear that my taste in choosing restaurants is good.

Yes? Yes.

Yes, I'll be right there.

- It's quite urgent. I'm leaving. - Eh?

You don't look so good.

You shouldn't stay long either.

What the hell is that guy's deal?

So, I am asking you, Taeko-san, to organize our first

anniversary party at your company...

Are you listening?

Ah I can't... I had high expectations,

and the damage of matching up with that asshole was beyond my imagination...

I mean, it's your fault... I did what you said,

but I can't seem to find the right guy...

Excuse me for a moment.

Huh?

You are really burning up, aren't you?

Kase Taeko-san, you can come in now.

Yes...

Ah...

At this damn busy time...

Okay, let me listen to your chest.

- Eh? - Eh?

Aren't you... a civil servant?

- You're a doctor! - What else do I look like?

This is the worst...

Huh?

You're adding unnecessary work... and you can't even take care of yourself?

The way you said it...

You're okay. Your fever's gone down.

- Take it out. - Yes.

You got wet from the rain, and you got cold.

I told you not to stay too long,

but you ate a lot of that Yakitori anyway, didn't you?

You're the one who left before me... That was rude.

There was an emergency call for a doctor.

If I'm called out, I have to rush over.

I'm always busy.

- Come on, get out of bed. - Okay, fine.

Thank you very much.

What the hell is she doing?

Isn't that exactly a fateful encounter?

But that guy's a jerk, you know?

- Have you tried contacting him? - No, he's just a jerk.

Just put up with it! He's a doctor and he's good-looking, right?

Hurry up and call him. Come on, quickly, right now...

Shut up! I step on and fall down because

I suddenly lost my eyeglasses...!

Here.

Ah, if you had told me, I would have come and get it...

- This... - Try it on, then.

Yeah, the eyeglasses aren't bad.

Well, since I picked them out, they should look good on you.

Are you sure about this?

Then, thank you very much.

You are a doctor, aren't you?

So why did you put civil servant in your profile?

I'm sick and tired of all the women who come to me because of my profession or my income.

Well, I guess that's better than exaggerating.

I'm sorry, okay? That my profile are all exaggerations.

Leave next Sunday open, it's the only day off I have.

- What? - I made a reservation at a restaurant.

Eh?

You don't want to?

I'm going...

My stomach's already growling.

I can't help it.

The only information I have is that he works at a cafe.

You should use that persistence to find a job.

You're a good person. Itokawa-san.

- I wonder why your wife left you. - Eh?

Hey, why did she?

I cheated on her.

I did.

Whoa! With a face like yours?

Disgusting...

That's what I think of myself, too.

She was beautiful,

and she was too good for me.

Come on, in here...

Here!

You don't have to return it. Okay?

You know, you can't just sit around crying all the time,

so why don't you get down on your knees and apologize to her again?

But...

I don't know how to call or text her...

Hmm... You cheated on her, right?

Oh, come on, stop crying!

We are almost at the cafe. Come on, let's go!

We'll have the food here, and decorations on the wall there and in the window over there.

- Decorations, okay. - Good.

Taeko-san, thank you for your hard work.

Thank you for your hard work.

_______I'm sorry about the other day._____

_____________________I found another great place to eat. ________________ _____Would you like to go out with me?

Aren't you just looking for someone to have sex?

Or do you like me?

What. Is. The. Matter? Did you get dumped?

There's no way that's going to happen.

Why would I be dumped?

I mean, I don't like her to begin with, and I've told you that many times.

- A Yarimoku, that's what I am! - Y... Yes.

That's not the point.

You have a date with that guy tonight, don't you?

Ah...

It's a do-or-die situation, and you need to get closer to him

so you can sleep over at his place.

No, no... Not happening, not happening!

I'll teach you how to win a man over.

Well, just in case, let me hear it.

A surefire way to make a man fall in love with you is...

Body touch.

Body!

Ah, I found it. This is it.

Do you mind if I raise my arm a little?

Well, I'm sure there will be some alcohol involved, so I'll start off slowly...

- Ah! Ah, ah, ah... - You touch his shoulder and then go straight to his arm...

Damn you...

Ah... Mika..!

Hey, that was good.

I got so scared because I thought it would lead to some kind of injury.

Don't cry, I'll buy you anything you want.

Come on, here.

I don't want that!

Hmm... It's so good.

Of course it is, because I chose this place.

I am gradually getting used to your arrogant way of speaking.

You're the one whose feelings are leaking out more and more.

Hey, why did you choose me?

I mean, you keep getting more and more matches, right?

And yet, why me...

No one likes a self-deprecating woman.

I'm a woman that no one would choose anyway.

What?

That's what my boyfriend for five years told me.

He said, "I can't choose a bitchy woman like you."

Sure, bitchy women are the worst.

On top of that, you have a surprisingly short temper.

You say bluntly what you want to say.

- Leave me alone. - But...

That's not a bad thing. - Eh?

You're better than those 107 people

who are always so cautious and quick to sycophantic.

You need to get closer to him

so you can sleep over at his place.

Body touch!

I'm heading out, please take care of the rest.

Sashimi. Do you know why it's called sashimi?

I really can't get the timing right.

The hurdles too high for me, for this unfriendly person!

Too dense! He's too dense. Body touch...

But the people in the past doesn't like the word "cut".

No, if you give up, the game is over!

You have to do this!

- Hey! - Huh!

What the hell are you doing?

Your sashimi is getting dry. Hurry up and eat it.

Yes...

You're like a sea lion.

Do you like sashimi that much?

Ah, yes, that's right.

The shime has arrived.

Oh, no. If I don't do something, then it's really over.

Ah!

There's a grain of rice on him...

There it is. My greatest chance has arrived!

Hmm!

What are you doing with this hand?

You're not aiming for my eyes, are you?

There's a grain of rice on you...

Ah...

Ah...

Ah, that's alcohol...

- Are you okay? - Of course I'm fine.

It's not like I can't drink.

I was planning on going home with him,

but I brought him home with me...

Hasegawa-san, Hasegawa-san...

Hasegawa-san, come on...

Oh no!

Huh!

Huh!

Where am I? What is this place?

- What the...? This apartment is a mess! - No, this is my apartment! Calm down.

- No way. Did you take me home with you? - No, you got drunk and fell asleep.

- What? - I knew that you couldn't drink alcohol!

No! It's just that it's been a while. It's not that I can't drink.

You're still talking, what kind of bluff is that?

Shut up.

What are you laughing about?

I thought you were a mysterious person.

When I'm with you, I tend to let my true self come out

and say whatever I want.

Ah, that's right.

There' s a party at a restaurant I know soon.

Would you like to go with me?

Ah... I'll make some coffee.

W... W... Wait!

Wait, wait, wait...!

Age, height, occupation, and income.

It's not easy getting matched with you.

That's not it! At first, I was unsure about it,

and I was told to go in strong... - You came to dinner with me

because you know I'm a doctor, don't you?

It's not that... I just

wanted to get to know you, Hasegawa-san better...

You only see me as a doctor with a high income.

- No! It's not about your job... - What difference does it make?

This detailed condition that you wrote proves it.

In the end, you're just like the other 107 people.

You're so eager to evaluate your conditions...

I told you it's not like that!

Why do you have such a hard time trusting people?

Do you think I would go out to dinner

with a foul-mouthed person like you just because of your income or occupation?

That's why you can't stop using matching apps!

How can you like someone whose phone keeps buzzing,

and buzzing, even when they're together?

If no one else will say it, I will.

Because it's you who didn't get picked

by those 107 people!

Ah...

Maybe we shouldn't see each other anymore.

I understand completely.

It's an event at my cafe, you should come.

This...

is not some type of Yarimoku.

Is it all over? Where's the doctor?

I sent a message, but no reply.

Well, it can't be helped.

Because I said something terrible.

I'm not giving up.

Eh?

I invited someone important to me, too.

I'm sure she'll come.

So don't give up either, Taeko-san.

Why don't you try sending him another message?

Go on...

Taeko-san?

HASE-san has removed his account

This means that he has found the perfect match, right?

I knew it was hopeless.

I'm the woman who doesn't get chosen.

Taeko-san.

You like that guy, don't you?

Are you sure that you want to end it like this?

- I'm not good! - Then...!

Don't wait to be chosen.

You have to choose your destiny for yourself!

- He's right! - Eh?

Haruto-kun is right.

I also have invited my wife who left me.

I left her a voicemail and never heard anything back. She's completely ignored me.

But I am definitely not going to give up!

You too, Itokawa-san... That's reassuring.

We won't give up, and neither will you, Taeko-sa...

- Eh? - Eh?

Mikako-chan!

- What are you doing here? - It's obvious, isn't it?

I'm here to see Haruto-kun.

She's the one who wanted to go to dinner with you, Itokawa-san...

Eh?

- Ew... - It's been a while.

Sorry! I understand now how Mikako feels.

I never thought that blocking you would be so cruel.

I was an asshole.

I'm really sorry.

Raise your head.

I'm just happy to see you again.

Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Eh!?

Eh... Eh!?

Are you all right?

I've been punished.

I'm sure she won't come either.

It's so heartbreaking, Itokawa-san...!

You idiot! Don't give up!

- Itokawa-san! - It's okay!

Don't give up!

- Sa... - Sakiko!

- Eh? - You came!

I'm glad... I'm so glad!

My wife! This is my wife, Sakiko!

Your Sakiko-san's ex-husband...

Do you know him?

Me and Sakiko-san got matched together.

Look!

Eh... What does this mean, Sakiko?

Hey, what the heck does this mean?

It's okay, since we're divorced.

We're not yet! I haven't submitted the divorce papers yet!

And yet, you... How dare you take my wife!

You matched with Mikako, too, didn't you?

- Huh!? - No... it's not like that, Sakiko.

No, that's true, but it's not that kind of relationship.

That's right! We're just doing meshimoku.

Once again, with another young girl...!

- Ah! - Whoa!

Ah! Ah!

I don't want to divorce you!

The only one I love is you, Sakiko!

What are you talking about? You cheated on her.

You can't say that. You're a yarimoku.

Shut up, you little girl meshimoku!

Huh? What's that? "Little Girl"? Are you from the Showa era?

What are you talking about? I was born in the Heisei era, you idiot!

Do you have any idea how much Sakiko-san's been hurt because of you?

What the? You... What do you know about Sakiko-san?

Hey, you... Did you have sex with my wife?

I didn't and you're the one who's acting crazy!

Just give up, you little shit!

You should be the one giving up, you cheating bastard!

I told you that she's just a meshimoku!

Whoa! Ah!

Sakiko-san...

I love you.

I can't give up.

I'm not giving up on you...

I'm not giving up...

This isn't like you. Give up now!

Because I've fallen in love with her!

What's with the "because"! Sakiko is my wife!

You got divorced, didn't you?

I told you, I have not submitted the divorce papers yet!

- Give up! You yarimoku! - I didn't do it!

You just have to give up...

What are you laughing at?

I have to go.

Please don't give up, everyone.

Goodbye.

You know, I'm the one who's taking care of your husband in the first place.

You should be thanking me.

What care?

I'm not gonna give him another chance, you're just extorting money.

I'm not extorting, I'm just using him.

Did you do it with this guy?

Did you do it? Answer me, Sakiko.

Sakiko-san, why did you even marry this guy?

How many times does she have to tell you she didn't do it?

Really? You didn't really do it, did you, Sakiko?

I told you I didn't do it,

why do you keep asking?

Eh?

You...

Is Kase Taeko-san here?

Taeko-san has just left to go somewhere...

Where?

No, probably to you.

No, she doesn't know. So what the hell is she doing?

He came here to see Taeko-san, didn't he?

Good for her.

He's so handsome, isn't he?

Somehow, it took a good-looking man to get us back to reality.

Let's go.

- Eh? - Eh?

Let's go home.

- Sakiko. - Don't get me wrong.

I want to submit to divorce papers, that's all.

- Eh? - Sakiko-san...

Goodbye.

But I'm glad.

Thank you.

Sakiko-san?

- Sakiko-san! - Sakiko.

I can't take it anymore.

I'd be happy to go out with you just for today.

- Mikako. - However...

It's meshimoku. So you have to treat me.

Excuse me.

Doctor Hasegawa had already left.

- Is that so... - Yes.

Thank you very much.

I knew it... I knew all about it the whole time.

In the end, I'm all alone.

After all, no one will ever choose me.

What are you crying about?

I went to the party and everything went horribly wrong.

Do you know them? They're not very good.

Why?

I went to see you.

You told me what I needed to hear.

Let me at least say a few things back.

I'm sorry.

For not trusting you.

I couldn't even trust myself

to be able to look at you properly.

You've always been so honest with me.

But... You found your perfect match, didn't you?

- Because your profile... - I don't need the app anymore.

Eh?

I'm choosing you.

No, Hasegawa-san!

I choose you, Hasegawa-san!

Ten months later

And why is that?

How did this happen?

How long are you going to do that?

Don't get all worked up like a child.

Huh?

I'm crying because I'm wondering whose fault it is that this happened and ruined my birthday.

Right, today is my girlfriend's birthday.

It was supposed to be the most important day of my life.

And yet...

How did this happen?

Two weeks ago

You're late. Call me if you're gonna be an hour late.

Unlike you, I'm very busy.

And there it is, your line for when your always being late.

You did it so many times.

A present.

Huh!

Did you buy this?

I decided on that happy face.

Hmm... It's so good.

No doubt, I chose that.

You're say things like that to me again.

It's a fact.

Falling in love is both reward and punishment in reverse.

If you want to lower her down, say something harsh, and then show her kindness at the perfect time.

And that's when the woman falls.

You're like a little kid with a whipped cream on your face.

I did it on purpose, shut up.

Ah.

A calendar hung in an easily visible place.

And a marker that makes you want to ask what day it is even if you don't want to.

It's no use.

I'll just pretend it's a trap and ask her.

- What's on that day? - Hmm?

Is that for bulky trash?

Eh? Wait, you don't know?

Birthday. My birthday.

I can't believe you don't when's my birth...

Really, your birthday?

If so, then I already planned for it.

It's the pattern of pretending not to know but actually do know it.

It's the best of the best of rewards and punishment.

Ah, get excited about how good my technique is.

Get to know everything about it!

ODAWARA

SIGHTSEEING

I'm taking you to Odawara Castle to celebrate your birthday.

Eh? Odawara Castle?

I don't want to do that.

Odawara Castle is impregnable, scenic, and has good seafood.

We could get a kamaboko. Why are you not happy about that?

Because it's from the warrior era.

It's my birthday and I'm embarrassed to go to Odawara Castle.

If you don't want Odawara Castle, then how about here?

It's the best!

From Odawara Castle to Dreamland.

It's settled. The strategy was a success.

High income, height, profession, and these looks.

I am the chosen man, and I didn't have a say in the matter.

That's what love was.

That's when I finally met her.

Ten months ago

I hope today is the day I meet the right person.

I hope today is the day I meet the right person...

Ah, excuse me...

You're HASE-san, right?

Ah! She's cute.

Nice to meet you. I, um...

Well, you're not exactly like the profile.

So much better than the profile.

Yes!

And then came my best chance to confess.

Actually, I had been awake for quite some time at that time.

I was so embarrassed that I'd gotten so drunk I'd pretended to be asleep.

So cute.

Ah!

I was planning on going home with him,

but I brought him home with me...

If no one else will say it, I will.

Because it's you who didn't get picked

by those 107 people!

I ended up getting the worst possible result.

I can't afford to make another mistake like that one.

Her birthday must be a success.

Because...

A surprise proposal at the Dreamland amusement park.

The plan is perfect.

The proposal is now as good as a success.

How did it come to this?

Hey.

T... That's enough.

Let's just go home.

You're the one who got the date wrong on the ticket,

so we can't go to the amusement park!

I don't want to believe it, but it's true,

and this isn't rewards and punishment but I made a mistake.

This is not good. There's no way that I can propose to her now.

You know, I'm sweating a lot from nervousness and impatience.

He's trying to act calm,

but secretly he's dying of panic.

I see... I can see it.

I can see what's on his mind.

We've been dating for ten months.

I can see everything that's going on inside his mind.

Two weeks ago

You're late. Call me if you're gonna be an hour late.

Unlike you, I'm very busy.

You did it so many times.

A present.

I decided on that happy face.

What have you decided?

You think a piece of cake would put a woman in a good mood?

It's all an act.

All because of that!

It's my birthday and I'm embarrassed to go to Odawara Castle.

If you don't want Odawara Castle, then how about here?

It's the best!

For the last ten months,

I've been building up a lot of hype

and finally succeeded in pulling off the amusement park plan.

I won.

You're so happy. That's good.

How did it turn out like this?

I won't allow it.

Today is the day I'm going to make him bow down and apologize.

I mean, what kind of a person would you be if you didn't even say you're sorry for not being so careful?

I don't have anything to say.

It's frustrating, but she's right.

Now apologize and bow to me.

You're going to have to put all your pride aside and say you're sorry.

No. Absolutely not.

It's out of character for me to apologize to the girlfriend.

What's with the uncomfortable feeling?

Her phone keeps buzzing lately,

just like mine used to.

Eh? Seriously?

By the way, I didn't hear that she deleted her profile.

Don't tell me...

You looked at your phone

four times since we come in here.

Eh? Is that right?

Why isn't she making eye contact?

I knew it she's still...

What was it?

You re-registered in the app.

- Eh? - Eh?

Seriously, is this person

still thinks that I'm registered on matching apps?

Idiot! It's a game notification.

Why am I in this messy situation?

I'm not going to let his impatient look go to waste.

It's none of your business what apps I have registered.

Your phone is buzzing, it's so annoying.

I was with someone a while back...

- I knew it you're still... - Using the matching app from before?

What are you doing? You think I'm going to break up with you?

That's not possible.

I am the chosen man.

I'm not the one who gets rejected.

I'm just worried about it myself.

It's not good it's making me angry with persistent...

A game?

I'm going home! I always angry when we're together.

I'm mad as hell, I can't do this anymore, I'm not going out with this childish man.

What are you gonna do, you're in trouble.

She's leaving. Are you sure that it's okay, Makoto?

Step aside. I'm going home.

I'm sure that this is normal for you.

I'm sorry we couldn't go to the amusement park.

Let's get married.

Eh?

I love it!

I chose you.

No doubt about it.

You're say things like that to me again.

It's a fact.

AH!

Eh? What?

Huh?

It was sweat. Help me find it!

Where is it?

Wait... What the hell are you doing?

- Help me look for it. - HUH!?

- I mean, why is everything going so wrong for me? - It's no use crying over it

This sucks.

I didn't mean for it to slip. Help me look for it.

Why the hell would you do such a thing?

- There's no way I could have known. - You're an idiot!

- An idiot? - That's why it won't work.

I will never get married.
