"Happy Wedding 10 years later, Now, Free Style of Love"

"Ryoma, you've been strange today. Are you ok?"

Am I ok?

Well...,

probably not.

Because I've been waiting for this for 10 years.

"3 years since I joined a kids theater company, I finally got a part in a TV ad."

"My hard work was finally paid off. I savored happiness."

"But, in the set, the joy was gone, and tension got to me. So, I was struggling."

The girl can't make it?

Yes, due to trouble with an airplane.

"Oh my... We can't find another girl now..."

Director.

How about my kid?

It will work.

Makeup, stylist, be ready.

Cut, cut.

Hey guys. As I said, smile.

I'm sorry.

"Director, it'll be the 10th take, so shall we take a break?"

You're right.

"At that time, I shared an extreme tensed feeling with her, no him,"

but her then...

I felt we were all alone in this world.

Everything started from this twist of fate.

(Love Stage!!)

Excuse me, this is Suzuki of P.R.

"Well, we were surprised to know that the boy in our ad 10 years ago..."

is Ryoma Ichijo, a flourished actor.

Thank you for accepting our offer again this time.

"Well, I was sorry for having caused a lot of troubles then."

And I asked for difficult conditions...

"No problem. We gathered the same actors from 10 years"

"Oh, thank you very much. And my partner is...?"

Yes, in a greenroom.

Well, I should go to greet there.

"Ryoma, your counterpart is just a new face."

They should come to greet you.

I don't care about such thing.

"You lectured your juniors that they didn't greet you the other day."

"I've changed. I'll go there for a meeting."

We have a meeting before the shoot.

Enough. OK?

I need a meeting before a meeting.

Please come in.

"Good morning. I'm Ryoma Ichijo, your co-star."

"Oh, we're sorry. We should visit you to greet."

"It's been a while since then. I'm Rei of Sena Productions."

"A long time no see. You helped me a lot then."

Likewise.

Ah...

and um..

Yes?

Where is Izumi san?

"Oh, I'm sorry not to introduce him. This is Izumi, who acted as a girl 10 years ago."

"This is his actual debut piece. Please help him."

So, I don't make my debut here.

"I'm not confident. I don't wanna do it."

Izumi.

Excuse ourselves.

Are you all right?

Director, Mr. Suzuki.

What's wrong, Ryoma san?

My bride... is a MAN!

Oh, that. Yes, he is.

"At that time, the girl couldn't make it, so Nagisa's son took a part."

We totally forgot about that.

"But, your demand was not to change any casts from 10 years ago. So, we considered it then..."

"We've decided to shoot a same sex marriage ad."

No way.

This is such times now.

"Now, free style of love."

Well, this is gonna be a hot topic.

My 10 years...

I'm happy.

Yes.

You...

Cut, cut.

Ryoma, did you memorize your lines?

I'm sorry.

"Director, it'll be the 10th take, so shall we take a break?"

Yeah, but...

Excuse me, if it is further behind...

But he's causing this.

Damn it.

What's the matter?

What's the matter?

You're the matter.

"A same sex marriage ad? Isn't it too controversial?"

After this, we have a kiss scene, too.

That, too.

"My brother said he will give me a limited Rararuru T-shirt."

Rararuru?

Yeah. Do you remember amulet marbles?

Yeah, I carry it since...

wait...

Cut.

"What should we do? We can't change the boy, too."

Here you go.

What's this?

An amulet marble.

With this make a spell, "Calm down, Calm down."

Then tension will be gone.

No way.

"Calm down. Calm down."

It works.

Right?

What?

Look at my eye.

Looks like that marble, doesn't it?

Look at my eye and make a spell.

Come on.

"Calm down. Calm down."

The same as the last time.

Well, take 10 minutes out.

Director.

I'm all right now.

Can you do it?

Yes.

I'm happy.

Yes.

To have met you.

I'm happy.

Yes.

To have met you.

We haven't decided Izumi's schedule, yet.

"Yes. Please contact us anytime when something comes up."

Bye now.

"Hello, this is Sagara of Sena Productions. Thank you for calling."

"Izumi's next plan? We haven't decided it yet."

Izumi san?

"What, Rei? Please knock before you get in."

"I'm very busy reading Rararuru in the 7th time now."

"What are you busy with? You always do nothing but read comics."

So, I'm not just resting.

"Referring to Rararuru, I'm thinking about my next manga."

Do you understand your situation?

"The ad is very successful. Everybody is talking about it now."

Lots of job offers are coming.

You are a celebrity.

"Did you forget? I'm not interested in show biz at all."

I only did it for this Rararuru T-shirt.

I'm only interested in becoming a comic artist.

Where are you going?

"To school. You keep disturbing me, so I go to the manga club."

Wait.

You're too stubborn.

It's the chance of a lifetime.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Bro.

Thank you for that T-shirt, bro.

"That is a very rare product only 5 magazine readers could win."

You are the man. I love you.

I see. That's good.

Izumi, so cute.

Well, I'll head to school.

Be careful.

Izumi san...

What's wrong, Rei?

That TV ad is very successful.

"The reaction to it is great. I owe you. Thank you."

"That's nothing. I'll do anything for you."

So, give me a treat you promised.

Rei? What's going on?

Tell me. I'll help you

Izumi's performance was stunning.

In that ad?

"The Senas are celeb family. Your parents are a musical actor and a star actress."

"And you are the lead vocal of a popular band."

"But to be honest, I thought show biz wasn't for Izumi."

He's too shy and otaku.

But, I was wrong.

Like father, like son.

It's definitely in his blood, too.

I guess you're right.

"That's why I really want to bring him in this business."

For Izumi and for Sena Productions.

He'll do it.

Shogo.

"Is that a new one? I wanna read it, too."

Nothing to do?

After this.

Don't you apply for a manga award?

If I come up a plot, I can draw it instantly.

I need to read a good manga.

Don't cry for help.

Welcome back, Izumi.

I'm home.

Welcome back.

We're leaving now to attend the movie Award.

Got it.

Bye now.

See ya.

No one else is at home, so be careful.

Am I a child?

Why don't you understand?

I... can't hold back... my feeling... anymore...

I can't get you... out of my... head...

Hey, cut, cut.

You seem to be in a slump. OK?

I'm sorry.

Ah, Director, could you change this line?

"""I can't get you out of my head."" Do we need this?"

"You might be right, but it emphasizes his feeling."

I don't feel that strange. OK?

OK.

Don't worry. We do this.

Yes.

Shall we go.

Let's go.

Ready, start.

Why don't you understand?

I can't hold back my feeling anymore.

I can't get you out of my head.

Cut.

Look at my eye. Then make a spell.

Ryoma.

Ryoma san.

Are you all right?

"The shooting is canceled. It's very helpful."

You've been working non-stop.

You must be tired.

It's not that.

What?

What did you...?

"I can't get you..."

"out of my head."

That was...

Perfect, Ryoma san.

Can you stop by Sena Productions?

Damn it.

I'm just getting into gear.

Yes?

"I'm sorry to disturb you late. I'm Ryoma Ichijo."

What's happening?

Well...

I wanted to return the amulet marble to you.

And, I want to check something.

"What!? You shut down the one and only Ryoma Ichijo?"

What the hell did you think you were doing?

OK.

"Please come in. I can't offer you much because no one else is here."

What are you doing?

Huh?

I can hear his voice, but where's Izumi?

This is. I'm Izumi.

No. That's absurd.

I've been thinking about this dull guy?

Huh? How rude.

No. You can't be Izumi.

You are real.

What do you want?

Please. Let me kiss you.

"It happened so suddenly that time. If I do it again."

No. Why do I have to kiss you?

"Please erase my 10-year sweet memory and let myself realize I was mistaken."

Put it back on.

No.

Just do it.

No.

I gotcha.

Good.

It was...

You're here.

Not a dream.

What's wrong with me?

That was a close call, wasn't it?

What would you be if I didn't come to rescue?

Ryoma came to get Izumi, huh?

"Well, that's ok, I guess. That wasn't the first time."

"Not good. It's totally different from shooting."

I wanted a girl like Rararuru to be my first.

I can't imagine Izumi kisses a real girl.

"When we were little, I kissed you many times."

Shut up, shut up.

"Wry Rei and bro the player don't understand my feeling."

Where are you going?

"I go to the manga cub. The deadline of a manga award is approaching."

That's mean.

He called me a player.

I'm such a devoting guy.

Damn.

Hello, Sena Productions.

Ah, I'm sorry to call you without notice.

You must be...

What's your name?

Thank you.

Why are you here?

Izumi.

Excuse me.

Wait.

Don't follow me.

Wait.

Izumi.

Izumi, I'm gonna get you.

I finally caught you.

I'm very sorry.

What?

"I'm really sorry about last night, So, please just listen to me."

But...

Please.

Please. Please.

OK.

This way.

How did you know here?

Mr. Sagara told me.

Damn.

He's a good man.

"Your shades are more noticeable. Take them off."

OK.

10 years ago,

that was my first job.

So, I was panicking.

You helped me then. I saw your smile.

I fell in love with you.

That was my first love.

"Whenever I looked at the marble, I was thinking about you."

I've been in love with you for 10 years.

Even if I'm told such a thing,

"But, when I met you again, you are a man."

But,

on that day,

"when I looked into your eyes and kissed you again,"

my heart fluttered.

"I know you're a man, but I couldn't get you out of my head."

So, I tried to remind me I was mistaken.

So, I wanted to kiss you again last night.

That's why...

But my heart fluttered again.

I'm sorry.

Even if I'm told such a thing,

"Just don't dislike me. I don't ask you to go out with me."

But I don't know what to say...

So please.

Can you be my friend?

If you say so.

So?

Just a friend.

Great. Really?

So, exchange our contact info.

Isn't it too soon?

Wait a sec.

OK? You seem struggling.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. What's your number?"

090...

See ya.

Where are you going?

To the manga club.

Manga club?

What is it?

We draw and read manga.

Do you draw manga? Wow, great.

I'm not that great.

Hey, can I come?

I want to read yours.

"Is that what you want? Please leave as soon as you read it."

Great.

Let's go.

This way.

This is my relative, Ryo.

He wants to see our club.

I'm Ryo.

Hi Ryo.

Is it ok?

I don't mind.

Well, I just started to draw it, though.

Is it ok?

Of course.

Here you go.

Is this ah...

Pacasso-ish?

"I don't know anything about manga. That's great. This is art, I think."

Say it again.

I feel something artistic and strong messages.

I like your drawing.

Did you hear that?

God. I got a call.

I wanted to see Izumi draw. Too bad.

Please come anytime. No one cares.

Really? I'll do that.

"Keep up the good work. Let me read again next time."

OK. Let's get started.

"It's for the manga award, isn't it? Can you finish on time?"

I think I will.

"I really want to apply for it because Mr. Saotome of Rararuru is a guest judge."

Yeah. Rararuru's.

"I have an appointment to turn in my piece in 2 days, so I have to finish it by then."

Please help me.

I'm busy with my part-time job.

Sorry I can't.

Sorry.

No one can.

Ryoma.

"We're still shooting. But it's ok because I'm off tomorrow."

Show me your manga again.

Tomorrow is off?

Ryoma.

The screen is off.

Hi.

Sorry, Izumi. It took so long.

Thank you for coming after work.

My room is upstairs.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

This way.

OK. I'm coming.

Please come in.

An artist's room is interesting.

Is it?

Are you ok?

Anyway. What do you want me to do?

But you must be tired. You can take a break.

You work hard, so I do, too.

Don't worry. Stamina is my strength.

Ryoma.

Let's finish on time.

Wait a moment.

So, here you are.

Use this table.

You need a pen, too.

Here you are.

I forgot.

What happened?

I blew it.

Not a big deal. It's ok.

Can you do that instead?

Everything is fine. Don't worry.

I see.

I can do this.

Well. Done.

Here you go.

Finished.

"It's unbelievable. We've done it on time."

Good for you.

It's all because of you.

Izumi?

Is this... a chance?

No. He said we're just friends.

A little.

Just a little.

"I can think of it as a reward, can't I? Like just for fun between friends."

Not now.

What took you so long?

I'm waiting at your flat.

I'm not there.

I go directly.

Just once.

I'm satisfied.

Just one more time.

One more time again.

The last one.

Oh, forgot about a chapstick.

Good. Promise this is it.

I don't feel it.

Something is wrong.

That's it.

Oh, appointment.

To Izumi, I head to work. Sorry.

Thank you, Ryoma.

I have to hurry.

Yes, yes. Thank you very much.

Yes. I appreciate it. Bye.

Izumi san.

It's good timing.

What?

You've got the main role in a drama.

A renowned producer personally offered you.

What are you saying?

A drama.

You will be on TV.

"I've said it millions of times that I won't be in show biz."

But such a great opportunity.

"My chance is this. I go to see a manga editor now."

What am I gonna do if I make a debut?

How naive you really are.

What's wrong? A cold?

No. It's not shivering.

Good.

OK. Let's make a bet.

A bet?

"If such scribbling is rated high, you'll pursue your dream."

If not, you will be in the drama.

You call this scribbling?

How's that?

"All right, deal. Just you wait. I'll make you say uncle."

Looking forward to it.

Have you ever heard someone say "uncle"?

Uncle.

Shut up.

Uncle.

I'm sorry for keeping you waiting.

Mr. Sena, who brought unsolicited manga.

Yes.

Let me see it now.

Here you go.

Thanks.

I'll take a look.

Please.

What's this?

It's unbelievably!

Thank you.

We are the first to read this?

Yes.

Please let me keep it.

Of course.

I wanna consider this further.

Thank you.

This is great.

"It's beyond manga. The heroine's character and the originality..."

Ah, are you...

joking?

Sena kun?

"Do you know a word ""unconventional""? And what ""conventional"" means?"

Fundamental or basic style.

Your original manga isn't conventional.

"But it doesn't mean unconventional. It doesn't have a base."

What you have to do first is to learn the basic.

"Both drawing and story making. You have to start from there."

I can't carry it on our magazine.

Good.

Hello, Ichijo speaking.

"Izumi is missing? He can't be reached?"

I see. I look for him, too.

I'll keep in touch.

Izumi.

Sorry for coming here without calling.

I had your address in my address book.

Mr. Sagara was worried about you.

Call now.

Stop.

Don't call.

I don't wanna go home.

Please.

But...

Please.

OK.

OK. Calm down... Huh?

Don't you smell something?

I dove into a pale of garbage.

Izumi, take a bath now.

I'm like garbage.

No, less than garbage.

You're not garbage.

Your glasses.

Thanks.

Good. Let's go.

Really stinky. Go downstairs.

Izumi, I put spare clothes here.

Izumi?

Are you ok?

Hey. Wake up.

You're gonna be drown.

What?

Why are you here? Peeping?

I saved you from drowning.

Really. It's hot in here.

I didn't try to see your body.

Oh, a nosebleed.

Ryoma, where is my underwear?

Underwear.

Underwear!?

You mean, underneath it, you are...

Where is it?

Sorry. I'll get it at a convenience store.

Mine is probably too big.

This late?

Forget it. I go to bed.

Are you staying?

I'm very sleepy.

God, what kind of test is this?

Oh, a nosebleed again.

Good.

Izumi, breakfast is ready.

I'm not awake, yet.

Oh, come on.

Here's café au lait. It wakes you up.

Izumi, I need to head to work soon.

How about you?

I don't wanna go home, yet.

Can I ask what happened?

I have no talent for drawing manga.

Sorry for wasting your effort.

Who said that?

You worked so hard.

"I did because I wanted to show it to Mr. Saotome. It seems my manga is too poor to show him."

Mr. Saotome?

"He is the comic artist of my favorite manga, Magical Girl Rararuru. I really respect him."

I see.

Because of Rararuru, I want to be a comic artist.

But I don't know what to do now.

I get it.

"In that case, you can stay here as long as you want."

Ryoma.

But, contact your family.

No.

No?

"Because, Rei is gonna drag me to appear on the drama."

What are you gonna do then?

They will call the police soon or later.

I don't care.

I'll live here with you.

Ryoma.

Don't you forget that I love you?

Isn't it risky to stay at my house?

It's OK.

I don't care whatever happens to me.

You may do as you like.

So do it.

No.

This is not what I've been dreaming of.

I'm seriously in love with you.

I want you not your body.

Ryoma.

Don't insult my feeling.

I said do it.

Whatever.

Don't worry. He's a college boy.

"In my college days, I used to go barhopping till morning."

You're right, but...

But it's gonna be trouble if Shogo finds out.

Yes, it is.

Izumi.

My cute little brother is missing.

He must've been kidnapped because he's so cute.

"I have to call the police. I need to ask for his info on SNS."

Quickly.

It's tasty.

I'm so glad that you're still here.

Sorry. I was about leaving.

Take a look at this.

My manga?

The front side of the envelope.

"Rararuru? How did you get it? It's a genuine drawing."

You said you wanted to show Mr. Saotome.

So, I got a comment from him.

Wow. Can you do that?

Who do you think I am?

The one and only Ryoma Ichijo.

Enough for me. Just read the comment.

"Technique is poor but this shows your passion. You remind me what I was. Keep drawing!"

Mr. Saotome...

I almost gave up being an actor many times.

"But I stayed on acting because of the amulet marble and our memory."

"I didn't want you to give up your dream in just one setback."

You...

Then, what are you gonna do?

I will hang onto it.

For manga...

and myself,...

I also try to be in show biz.

I want to expand my possibility.

Good.

Let's go.

To where?

To your house, of course.

I'll take you home.

Wait...

Thank you.

See ya.

You should apologize to Mr. Sagara.

Ryoma.

Ah, thank you for everything.

Not only for this time.

Ryoma is great. You can help my manga.

"You show up when I'm in trouble. You're very sweet."

You can do something magical.

I'm not that great.

You seem like my brother.

Your brother...

I see. I'm same as your brother.

OK. I go back home.

Ryoma.

I'm not your brother. Look at me seriously.

I love you, Izumi.

See ya.

Izumi san.

Great.

We're worried about you.

I'm happy

Yes.

To have met you.

Me, too.

Is this...?

No, No way.

Because I am a man.

I can't believe I fell in love with him.

Ryoma?

No. I don't.

NO!

Definitely not.

Look.

We were bombed by paparazzi.

"This is a boy from ""Happy Wedding"", right? Sena Production's."

Yes.

I'm...

not against this.

"I think that our society is accepting these things now."

But there are still many people who make a fuss.

"It's definitely a terrible blow to him before making his debut."

If you care about him, don't see him for a while.

Now, it's going to be noisy around you.

"It might be wise not to see Ryoma Ichijo for a while."

His manager also said so.

I see.

Izumi san, are you...?

"Mr. Ichijo, would you care to comment on the article?"

What's your relationship?

Please give us a comment.

Don't they have anything else to report?

"Mr. Ichijo, would you care to comment on the article?"

You don't know anything. Shut up.

To Izumi, I head to work. Sorry.

What do you want me to do?

What happened?

Here you go.

Finished.

He hasn't been getting out since then.

"Tons of reporters are waiting for him. It's wise to stay inside."

"But he hasn't been even out of his room. He must've been shocked."

Damn paparazzi.

Ryoma.

Izumi, how are you?

I'm really sorry for getting you in trouble.

But I want you to know one thing.

I love you whatever happens to us.

I'm sorry but I can't change my feeling.

I'm sorry.

I'm trying to put this behind.

What do you want me to do?

Hello?

Are you ok?

It's rare that you call me.

I didn't really wanna tell you this,

but probably I should.

What?

I'm working as Mr. Saotome's assistant.

I wanna do that, too.

Sorry, they aren't hiring now.

I see.

Yeah.

"Then, Ryoma Ichijo came to the office the other day."

And,...

Could you please read this manga?

Sorry, I don't have time at all.

"Just one minute, please. He's giving up his dream after his first setback."

But I don't want him to give up.

"Just one word. It helps him get back on his feet again."

Please.

I understand.

I'll read it seriously.

So please stop.

Thank you very much.

That manga was yours, wasn't it?

He begged the editor to let him meet Mr. Saotome.

He's really a good guy.

I'm touched, so I wanted to let you know.

Don't let outsiders control you.

Where are you going?

To his place.

What do you think a man loves another man?

I think it's good.

"Because it's ""Now, New Style of Love,"" isn't it?"

Is it ok to go?

I don't intend to object to you anytime.

Thank you, Rei.

What? What's going on?

You love me, don't you?

Yes.

So, there you are.

Noisy reporters again.

Izumi.

I wanna talk to you, so let me in.

Izumi.

What happened?

Wait. Did you get desperate again?

No, I don't.

Thank you.

Ryoma.

For loving me unconditionally.

And I'm sorry for keeping you waiting.

I've finally realized my real feeling.

You...

I love you, Ryoma.

Wait. You're choking me.

Are you crying? Why?

I love you.

Me, too.

So don't cry.

I'm so happy.

You're my first love.

Your smile gave me energy all the time.

I can't believe this day actually comes.

"Mr. Ichijo, Mr. Sena, would you care to comment on the article?"

Sure.

Well, it's as it said in the article.

It's true.

That means you're in a romantic relationship?

Yes.

When did it start?

Just now.

Well, I've been in love with him for a while.

Just now, my feeling has finally reached.

What do you mean exactly?

Exactly...?

What are you asking?

We will leave it to your imagination.

Hey, stop it.

What did your family say about this?

"I haven't told them yet, but I believe they will understand."

I'd like to introduce myself to them soon.

What's your plan?

Plan?

"Although everything doesn't go smoothly like that ad, we'd like to build a great relationship together."

Congratulations.

Thank you very much.
