Haru, we're gonna get going soon.

Haru is sleeping now. -Thank you.

Eh? New job? -Nope, it's still a sketch.

It's the Europe like image...

I'd like to use it as a setting or my next picture book.

Woah~

Why don't you go there to do the over-sighting?

That's a bit...

Maybe when Haru has grown up more...

Just leave Haru to me.

Ah, sorry.

You know what, I can't wait to see your next work.

Really?

Midori, how's there?

It's been 100 days and 3 weeks since Midori absence.

It's been 2 weeks already since we live together at Nijiya.

Hya~! Triple Green coming~!

Green~ Flash! -That's cool.

So you're gonna wear that? -Yes, I wanna grandpa and grandma to see it.

I'm now moving my stuff over there little by little.

And Midori's desk,

it's just the way it was.

Do you got tissue? -Yes.

The how about smile? -I also got it.

Okay, Let's go.

So we gonna eat lunch with dad?

Yes. Dad will take Shizuku to eat your favorite foods.

Yeay~!!

What should I eat~? What should I eat~?

Delivery Boogie here. I've got your delivery!

The wind like la la la la la....

Eh~~

How's that, Oya-san?

I don't have any comment.

Now everything are getting better.

With this, we gonna be flooding with customers.

Right, Daichi? -Maybe.

What's with that uncertainty?

That sign "New Menu Coming Soon!", does it really needed?

Of course. with Nijiya, we must start a new move to make us appealing.

We're going to have a family-wide campaign,

and Daichi, you're gonna help in hand out the flyers, okay?

Eh? -This weekend...

...we're gonna have Nijiya Festival! -Here you go again.

Don't get other involved with your selfish plan.

The goal is "Rekindle The Energy of Those Days!".

When I first come to this store,

I think the whole store was overflowed by happiness.

It's been 10 years already.

It's 8 years.

Anyway, we're gonna get new customers,

and make a lot of money.

With that, you're gonna have a saving for your retirement.

I don't ask you to do that for me.

Just leave it to me, okay?

Haru, now you've become Triple Green on behalf of mom.

Okay.

Share house? Yes, that's right.

It's not that fancy, but...

It's an Okonomiyaki shop where my friend work,

The second floor is empty. -Ooronomiyaki.

So there will be my friend and 3 other families living together.

Is that what we call a boarding house in our time?

To call it boarding house, it's a bit different.

All 3 families there, have a child around the age of Haru.

Well, we're all single, so we're trying to help each other out.

Is that so~ Sorry.

I can't quite imagine it.

In the first place, it's started with "Be My Family" hashtag.

Hashtag?

Emm~~ I don't know about that "Be My Family" thing...

How's Shizuku? Do you enjoy your new home?

Yes, it's fun.

There, we've been shared the chores, so I got more time to spent with Shizuku.

Then? what kind of peoples live there with you?

Both of them were single mother, and one of them is elementary school teacher.

It's a women?

Ah, yes. -Then, it's mean...

They're searching for new partner... -No, not at all.

It's not like that at all. Haru will be my top priority for now.

So there's a men to. I see.

What is it? Ah.. Nothing...

I've made up my mind that Shizuku will be my top priority.

If you think that Shizuku is your top priority, then I think it's best to start over.

The company now is better than when it started before,

I've got a little more room.

I've got more free time from what I got before.

I mean... When talking about recruiting a family,

you have me right, the real family.

But, you and me have a different ideas how family is.

You said before that you couldn't live with someone...

who didn't put the child first, and that's why you leave, right?

Then, are everyone there put their children first?

Sharing the money together, saying to become a family and having fun,

From my point of view, they're pretty easygoing.

They're not like what you think.

Let's talk about this later. I don't want Shizuku to see us like this.

Then, I'll make my time, just tell me where. -Okay.

Shizuku, is it tasty? -Yes.

Delicious right? What's the tastiest?

Rock Paper Scissors!

Paper! Paper! Paper!

Ti's really hard to decide, huh. I think, we should...

...stop using rock-paper-scissors to decide everything? But, rock-paper-scissors is the most democratic way.

Not at all. Let's make some rules.

Eh~~ I'm the worst when it comes to rules.

Here~ It's a bathing order.

So who's gonna be first? -I can do it later.

Me too, I can do anytime. -I also can be the last.

Then...

Please Please Please.

Eh? It's like I'm being forced to be the one that firstly take a bath.

Not at all! -Not at all!

Then, I'll be the first.

Then, can someone come in with Daichi?

I want to take the bath slowly and relaxly.

Eh? So it's allowed to go alone?

It seems Rei-san prefer to be alone too.

I'd like to spend more time with Haru.

Then, I'm gonna with Daichi and Haru together. It's okay, right?

Yes. Let's have bath together.

Yeay! I'm gonna be with Onii-chan.

Then, we're gonna be the second one with Daichi-kun.

Okay. -Then I'll go next, I'll be quick.

The slowest one must be on the last. -Thanks.

Wait, how about Oya-san? -Ah, I'm sorry, I forget about him.

It's okay, Oya-san usually went to the bathhouse with his regulars before opening the store.

Really? He's not gonna accidentally walk in...

...while I'm in there, right? -Of course not!

Oya-san can't coming upstairs at all.

That bastards!

There's some gossip going upstairs.

The wind goes La La La La...

Ready~ Three four!

Five of us~

Triple~ Five!

I'm sorry. I've just finished.

Ah, just now that 2 men were mesmerized.

Hey hey hey! Don't say something ridiculous!

You really did. -Not at all!

Do~n! -Haru wait! Haru!

Triple Green is back! -Haru, wait!

Then, I'm going first. -Okay.

I'm finished~ -That fast! Do you really bath properly?

Of course not.

That's good, that's good. -Hey, can someone go to my room...

What? -Nothing.

I'll be out for a moment, don't look here.

Don't be surprised! -Okay!

I'm the one that gonna prepare bento tomorrow. Do you wanna it too?

Of course!! -Okay~.

Triple Yellow, Enter!

Rei-san, Thank you. -Thank you~.

You're welcome.

Let's go.

Here, Banzai~! Good~.

Oya-san, I'm gonna borrow it again today. -Are you gonna okay with that old bicycle?

Thanks to this, I'm attracting the town's attention.

Is that so. -Okay, everyone, take care.

We're going now~. -Super Exotic ready.

Let's go! -Go!

I'm going now~! -Have a good day.

Take care.

Aah~ Aah~

What do you sighing?

There's a child's mom from my class coming over this afternoon.

She's really upset that I can't talk properly through the phone.

What's the problem?

She's complaining that there's too much homework for summer vacation.

Then...

Here, You act as the mom.

Eh? -Let's do it again.

You'll be the mom, like on the phone just now.

You know, Sensei. -Don't need to imitate her voice.

Ah...

Since both of us are working, we don't have time to look on the homework.

I understand your family situation, but...

...we can't give special treatment for your child because of this.

I'm not asking for special treatment...

In school, children are living as a group,

it's also a place where they learn about rules and regulation.

Even so, there's no way I can help my child with the self study.

Please talk with your child about this.

What can we do in the limited time we have? That's also a challenge to think about it.

I don't have time for that. I'm with my work...

I know it's hard. It's same for me too.

But that times, for your child,

and also for the parents too,

it will be an important summer vacation memory for you.

So, please make some time for your child.

Please.

Thank you very much!

Parents will always wanna make times for their children,

that's why this my point of view will always be justified.

We need to use the rules as a shield. -Ah...

Uwah~~ Rei-san-like.

Maybe not this time.

Ittadakima~su.

Delicious! It's filled with Rei-san's love~!

Right, Daich? -Yes, It's delicious!

Em, it's well made.

It's so good.

Ah~ It's the lady that in charge for bento today, right?

Yeah, you can tell? -Woah~ It's pretty meticulous.

She's a serious person, right? -Yeah, that's right.

That's must be nice to live together. When talking about share house,

it always about a fancy place where young people gather and fall in love.

Nice to meet you~ My name is Ino Misuzu~

Nice to meet you too. -My name is Makurazaki Yutaka.

No, it's totally different. There's no such thing as fall in love.

Well but everyone are single by the way.

That's right, even if you don't really want to...

No, it's really not like you think.

If Midori heard this, she's gonna be mad.

Ah, sorry. -What's with that apology.

Ah.. But that's what I'm imagine when it comes to share house.

There's gonna be a new member that came and messed things up.

That's also happened right? -Exactly no.

First of all, we're already full house.

We've arrived, Haru.

I'm back~!

Are you living here?

Yeah, that's right.

Here, say it.

Aa... I'd seen that "be my family" things on the internet..

Yeah... It's here though...

Can we move in from today?

Eh?

Eeh~~

Please wait a second.

Sou-chan! Sou-chan! -Yeah?

There's new member here. -What?

The new member is here. -Huh?

Come here!

There's new member outside.

Huh? What member? -You know, perhaps...

is that "be my family" not closed yet?

Ah... that... -It's closed, right?

I don't think there will be another request...

If the condition is good, and they'll be able to pay rent,

it's still gonna be open for at most one more pair.

That's why!! Family... There's parent and child out there..!!

First thing first! let them inside.

It's impossible! We're full house!

If I'm sleep downstairs, it's gonna be work.

That's impossible! Rei-san and Meiku-san also said so.

Well.. but since they already come all this way, let's have some talk, okay?

We can't let them stay outside forever, right?

This not like what I'd imagine.

For now, just wait for what they gonna say.

Please come inside.

Hello.

Please.

So... May I know where are you from?

We're from Futako-Tamagawa. -That's far from here...

Why don't we go upstairs and have a talk?

For the time being, you can put your luggage here.

It's okay, right? Just leave it there.

He seems like a decent guy who gonna pay the rent.

Please come to 2nd floor.

What is that? Is there gonna be more?

Sorry, now... Hey hey hey!!

I'm having a guest here. We've gonna meet here, so put this away.

A guest? -Yes.

The 2nd floor is where we're living. Come in.

Who?

Then... Let's go to the room.

There may be another flower...

Here, please sit. -Ah, come here.

So... I'm Osanai, the founder of "Be My Family".

Nice to meet you, my name is Kurosaki.

My daughter...

My name is Itsuki.

Woah~ This is a real deal...

Please.

Itsuki, how old are you now? 8 years old.

Ah, so you're a year older that Dachi-kun.

My daughter's explanation didn't make sense, so I brought her here anyway.

It seems to be different than the usual share house, right?

I... I showed it to you.

Well... I only took a glance on it.

Thanks for looking it on the internet.

Ah... Sir, For now, all here are single family..

Then, it's good. I've been single...

...for 3 months now. Well, it's a bit complicated to explain.

Ah... Is that so... This guy also... Right.

He also has been single for 3 months. -That's right.

Glad to see you now have a company.

What? -Eh?

Yes. Speaking of "By May Family",

what was the concept?

Concept? So... Concept...

What was that? What should I say?

Well...

Unlike usual share house, it's not just looking for a housemate,

it's also including parenting, living through fun and hard times together,

Everything here were shared like in the family.

That's right. That's the concept.

I see.

All right, we'll start living here today. Please treat us well.

Woa?h Eh? Eh?

Just like that? Huh?

What is it? -Ah.. It's nothing.

Hey, how about the room?

Huh? well....

Ah~~

Sou-chan, I think for today, it's not gonna work.

You see, we've still had many things to do.

But they've already made arrangements to stay the night, right?

Aaah~~

For the rent, it need to be pay... -Sou-chan, Sou-chan, Sou-chan!

I'm very sorry, but...

Right now, we don't have place for both of you to stay,

so for now, we're gonna discuss about this first.

Sorry.

Emm...

Can't I just stay here by myself?

Eh?

What are you talking about? -If it just me, is there a place available?

For that...

There is it?

Is that so... Then.. Let's proceed.

Eh?

There will be enough room for my daughter alone, right?

It doesn't have to be a single room.

You can just let her stay somewhere around here.

Ah.. That's a bit...

Can you take care of her for these summer vacation?

To be honest, she always on her room for this summer,

I don't know what to do either.

So she'll be happy, I'll be happy, and you gonna get the rent pay.

So it;s gonna be win win win situation.

win win win huh.

Then... if that so...

Kurosaki-san, our place is not a daycare center.

We can't take care of Itsuki-chan alone.

Huh?

We've just started our lives here,

We don't have the luxury to take care of Itsuki-chan.

I'm sorry, Itsuki-chan.

Also, before this he said "for now", but...

As you can see, this house...

...don't have any space for both of you to live in.

Ah.. no.. That's...

It's better to say no clearly.

So both of you please have a talk,

please think about how both of you gonna spend your summer together.

Have a talk? If I can do that, I'll not be here now.

Eh? What do you mean by that?

Itsuki-chan, please have a talk with you dad again.

It's not like you said, huh.

Is it hypocrite for you to recruit a family but when they came, you turned them away.

No... It's not like that...

My daughter, for the first time, tell me that there's a place where she wanna go.

So, what you gonna do about her feeling?!!

Hey, Oji-san, please don't talk with loud voice.

It's your responsibility to take care of your daughter feeling.

Don't tell me what to do. How about you guys?

What about you guys? Are all of you talk to your child...

..before you decide to become single?

Kurosaki-san, that... -Enough!

That's enough.

What's that enough? I'm doing this for you...

Then... It's enough.

Let's go back.

How come strangers become a family...

It's an Idea that only brainless student gonna think of.

It's too idealistic.

I made this for you guys.

Take it.

It's cute.

See ya.

Are you going back?

It's a nice picture, right? -Yeah.

It was taken by some customer.

Come quickly.

What is that? Let me see.

I'm glad we did this.

It's my bad! Because I wanna the rent fee,

I didn't close the application, sorry.

Then, buy me ice cream~ -It's on my treat.

That Oji-san, saying it's...

..an idea that only brainless student can think of. He's right.

I guess that's what it looks like to an outsider.

If they lived with us, he gonna understand.

Ah... I didn't mean that we should let them live with us...

You know, I'm not be able to be clear then,

so thank you for saying a things that's hard for me to say.

It's nothing. I only say what I want to say.

You must be starving, what do you want?

Anything is fine.

How about dessert? -Don't want.

Just give up on that place.

I know.

Excuse me.

Excuse me! -Yes.

Sorry to make you wait.

Beef fillet with truffle sauce.

Okay. -And ice cream please.

Okay.

That's nice, it's look good for three of you.

Isn't it cool?

It's melting, don't you gonna eat it?

I said I don't want it.

So brown! The person who in charge of today's bento is that person, right?

That Okonomiyaki Onii-san?

That's correct. But please don't make my bento as a quiz every day.

Because~ We're really looking forward on what kind of life you all gonna have.

Actually, they'd came. The new member.

Eh? Eh? really?

Then? Did all gonna wrong?

No, we can't accept them, so we ask them to go back.

Eh~ Is that so... So sorry for them.

Ino-chan, it's a personal.

I wonder if that girl from yesterday is eating lunch alone.

There are a lot of kids like that nowadays.

You were one of them, weren't you?

Stop doing that!

So, what do you think of this new soba-meshi menu?

It's bad.

That's a quick answer~

Hey, sorry to make you wait.

Dad, you slow! -Sorry, I need to go to the convenient store.

The view from the station would be too dull!

But considering the cost... -Your job is to design!

I'm sorry. Do it over. Go!

Okay.

Hello.

Aah..I'll be late today.

The money for dinner is on the table. -I already use it to eat.

Is that so.

I have to go.

Thanks for the food~!

Well, I had a lunch delivery today,

and 10 years old boy came out and said he order his lunch on his own.

Somewhat, it's make me think about Itsuki-chan.

Aah~ I also had a talk with Oya-san about that.

Hey dad, the sister from yesterday not coming?

Yeah, right.

She's not coming.

Let's go play over there.

Is I.... Doing the wrong thing?

Would've been better if we accept their request yesterday?

I know that what you do was the right thing.

But just...

Since yesterday, I've been feeling a little bewildered around here.

Me too. Is it what you call "love"?

When I remember of that girl's lonely face...

Is it not because you can't get the rent?

Of course not!

Same as me, he also been single for 3 months,

For the girl on that age, and also the dad...

It's not like I want to compare it with my situation, but...

I bet they're going through a lot.

I wonder why Itsuki-chan really want to be part of "Be My Family"?

Aah~ I don't know but I really feel sorry for her.

It's not that I don't give it a thought. But still...

It's not like we're blaming you on this.

But still... we're still busy with our own life. right?

I don't think I have time to deal with other person's problem anymore,

And I think it's to nosy for us.

Is it really about being nosy...

Was I say something wrong?

They both shut their mouth.

It's rare that you don't speak up for yourself.

Me? For me...

I'm just waiting and watching what's gonna happened next.

What do you think we should do now?

Well... I'm actually on 50-50 situation,

What's the good or what's the bad, I can't decide on that.

Right and wrong is depend on the person itself.

When I was a student, I also lived in the shared house.

I don't know what I should do, this way or the other way.

But I tried not to think about it as much as I could.

Because to someone else, that's just a selfishness.

Do you mean... I'm selfish?

No, I don't say thing like that. -So do you mean I did the wrong things?

No no no... What I said is, there's no definite true or wrong in this situation.

Is it my wrong? Me? -Of course it's you.

1 2 3

4 5 6

Shizuku, I'm going to take a bath.

Don't want, I still wanna play.

Come fast, we've already decide the order.

Well... sometimes the order can be...

Come on fast.

Don't want. You look scary, mom.

What's we gonna do? -What to do now?

I need to be alone for a while.

Ah... Please take your time on the rooftop.

It's a relief we have a rooftop.

When we want to be alone, just go to the rooftop.

What if there's 2 peoples that wanna be alone?

For that... It's time for rock-paper-scissors. -Then I'll pass it.

W... wait wait! Where are you going?

Rooftop. -Did you heard just now?

Shunpei, now is not the time... And I know what I'm talking about.

If you go, it's too nosy for you.

Em. But Rei-san...

Aah... By any chance... Are you...

Is that what you called when your friend in pinch situation?

It's not like Triple Red if you just going to stay still?

Yeah, that's right.

Whoah~~~ There he is.

I just want to be there for her.

If she turn me away, I'll be back here.

Well... I'm not gonna to stop you now. -Good luck.

Thanks.

I'd told you that I want to be alone.

My bad.

Is there still things you wanna say?

No...

Before, when the first time talk to you on this rooftop,

You told me this.

If there's someone I can talk to,

I think it's gonna put my feeling on ease.

Thanks for listening to me on that time,

I've been saved.

I might be a bit nosy, huh.

I ask myself that question all the time.

Whether I'm right.

And that's what I thought.

But at the next moment, I thinking maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe I really made the mistake.

I've repeating it myself.

I've always thinking of Shizuku first.

I think that was the right things to do.

But...

Someday, it'll be like getting cornered like in Othello.

Everything goes wrong.

I feel like I'm going to flip it over.

Is this analogy too confusing?

No, I got you.

Meiku-chan told me.

Until now everything...

...is a result of my selfishness.

I've been cornered.

No, not all of them...

It's all of them.

And the fact that I left my husband, all of it.

Say...

What person is your husband's like?

He's always a straightforward about his dream, even when we first met as students.

He has something that I don't.

That's what I like about him.

After Shizuku was born,

she was the most important in my family.

But for my husband, he still prioritizing himself.

But he still took good care of Shizuku though...

But there's things that won't be change.

With that,

I realized that I couldn't have my ideal family with him.

So I left the house with Shizuku.

I think that's I'm doing it for Shizuku.

I wonder if that's the beginning of my mistakes.

Not like that.

You already made up your mind. -Yeah.

We can't change what we've been decided, right?

No, I'm not saying you can't.

Then, how about if I'm not decided yet?

Eh?

I...

Still have something that I haven't told everyone.

What is that?

Me...

...and my husband haven't really break up properly yet.

Eh?

We're still married.

I've been wondering what's best for Shizuku.

Should I start over with him?

I don't know what I really want to do.

It could be black, it could be white.

I'm still hanging.

distressing and worrying...

It's a pain in the ass.

Yes, it's real pain in the ass.

But even if it's a hassle, I'm better than you.

I'm not going to let it beat me.

And you know what,

that's what everyone here are thinking too.

So, it's fine.

It's really pain in the ass.

But we can share that pain with everyone here.

That's the face. -Eh?

That's the faces that I longing to see from Rei-san.

Crying, getting angry.

So, in front of us,

show your real face since we're family.

I won't let you see it easily.

I like that part of you.

Eh?

No, no, that's not what I meant by "like."

Well... That's not what I meant...

Eh?

Shizuku said she wanted to take a bath with her mom.

Mom, let's take bath together.

Okay.

Good for you. -I'm sorry.

Meiku's special~ cheese toast buffet

Ittadakima~~su!

What happened? -Nothing~~

Go ahead~ -By the way, I'd like to...

...ask the kids with my "Nijiya".

They can distribute the flyers and handing out balloons to the kids.

We also will make the new menu available for take out.

It will be like a festival here.

Sound interesting~ Is that Nijiya Fest?

Haru really like festival!

It's great, let's do this. What do you think?

Both of you also can wear yukata...

I have yukata though...

Really? -Then, please wear it!

Then it's decided.

Shunpei, are you coming home tonight? -I'll be back to my apartment after work today,

I need to take care of few things, so I'm gonna be late.

We've got a lot of work to do, right?

Somehow, I become more enjoying my life there.

I'm gonna miss this house.

Take care of them one by one.

At last, we need to move on.

It's a image of small town in the Europe.

I'd like to use it as a setting for my next picture book.

From Midori's belongings...

I've found new homework that need to be done.

Excuse me!

You surprised me~!

I've run away from home.

Eh?

Please... Let me be a part of this family!
