My Heart Belongs to Daddy

Already 7 minute late.

Are you kidding me?

3rd Sunday in Oct, 1PM.

I was waiting for my father at the exit of Hikarino-Station.

Oh late, I am late... Ah! sorry, are you alright?

There, that must be her.

Sorry I was late.

Something cropped up just after leaving home, so sorry I'm late again.

What's going on? Aren't you ashamed of yourself talking to a young girl like this?

Wait, are you not Mimiko Odo?

- Her name is Hanako Yamada. - No, my name is Haruko Wamoto, mom.

Doesn't matter, we have to go.

Are you Mimiko Odo?

So, he is my father.

So yeah this is how it began, reunited with my dad after 15 years.

As you can see, it would be such a mess.

Huh? It's like a comedy? Yeah pretty much, but there are so many complicated reason for that.

I hope you'll tag along for this comedy.

No, for a serious story. Okay then, coffee please.

You sure? There are so many special menus as well.

Canadian Boat Song... no idea what that is.

Monument Valley Wind... Lake Geneva Sunset... Look, it's so nice.

- Just a coffee please. - What about you?

- Okay then, do you have a kobu-tea? - I'm afraid not.

Alright, I'll have Lake Geneva Sunset then.

Hey, also a glass of water.

I will curse you, mom.

Why did you leave?

Do you remember your father?

Yes.

Yeah somehow, but I'm not sure if I'd recognise him when I see him.

So you haven't seen him at all?

No...

Never thought of him?

I heard from my mom how they broke up.

- When was it? - When I was a middle school student.

She said my dad cheated on her so she broke up with him, that's all.

That is so Noriko.

I really loved her, so even though my dad wasn't there

we were totally fine.

It's been 15 years.

Yeah, I'm a little confused.

Do you think you are really okay to live with him?

I don't know.

But you are only 20, at university, also you have a parent.

I can quit university and get a job.

You can continue university if you become a prostitute.

I have no confidence for that.

Living with Konuma...

Konuma is saying

Because he has done nothing for you this whole time...

He really wants to look after you now.

I knew Noriko was looking after you so well while doing her job in high school.

Honestly, I really do appreciate that.

I always loved her, even after we separated.

This is true, and...

When I heard she died because of a car accident, I was devastated.

She was gone before forgiving me. Of course I became an alcoholic.

The reason I didn't go to the funeral is, it would mean accepting her death.

I couldn't bear it.

Wait, isn't this just an orange juice?

This is Lake Geneva Sunset.

Giving such a lovely name to steal money, hah.

Enjoy.

Sunrise over the lake nearby is pretty much the same.

When you said you could live with me, I was so happy.

Well, I am so pleased to have you now.

Let's shake hands shall we? For re-uniting.

Sukiyaki tonight, is that alright?

I've been living alone long enough to be able to cook almost anything.

Especially Sukiyaki. Everyone loves it.

Tonight I will buy some good meat, so yes, let's make Sukiyaki.

- Yes. - Alright, Sukiyaki it is then.

Hi sir, how are you today?

Look, there is a slide here.

You should try it next time.

Good afternoon.

Going down again.

So this is the bathroom.

I cleaned it well for you.

Come over here.

This is the soap we started to sell recently in my company and it's going well.

This one is yours and the other is mine.

Nice scent isn't it.

They sell really well.

Come in.

Look, this is your room, The tatami are all replaced and new.

If you wish to make it more American, put down a carpet.

So, young lady, likely you prefer a bed to a futon, I suppose?

When shall we go get it?

Well, I'll actually bring my own bed.

Oh will you? Well I thought

you'd need everything new for your new life here and I have some money for that.

Oh have you? Okay, then I'll ask when I need something.

Make yourself comfortable here, we are family.

How about this curtain? I chose this for you, isn't it pretty?

Bloomed, bloomed, tulip flowers bloomed.

Dad, I am no longer 5 years old.

Oh what am I gonna do here? It looks like I made a mistake.

Lake Geneva Sunset...

And that soap...

My dad is now working at Sawada soap company and he is a senior manager.

(Adding his daughter's name)

- So how is it going? - What?

Anything you should tell us about your new life?

- Horrible. - What exactly?

Everything.

You have no choice, you've met him after 15 years and started a new life together.

You can't expect it to be just like heaven.

Awkward, the totally opposite of me.

- Etc... - I am all ears.

He is not like a typical middle age type, neither big belly or bald.

Isn't it great?

But he is like, how can I put it, boring?

See, it is like, "Asked 100 uni-student girls"

"What type of middle age man would you like to have an affair with?"

He definitely won't be nominated.

Oh don't be silly, If you keep thinking like that, your future won't be bright.

Yeah, that soap... beauty soap for men, called Pikarada.

What the heck is that?

It's a soap manufactured by my dad's company.

And mine is, a nice scented soap for women, called Hon-nori.

- If you make fun of it, I'll kill you. - Hon-nori huh?

- I feel sad for you. - What do you think?

Oh, that's nice.

So, what does this "Pikarada" do?

For "Hon-nori", he wakes up early and makes breakfast, and goes to work.

Can you pass that?

What does "Hon-nori" do then?

Eat that breakfast nicely and come here.

If you don't like it, wake up earlier than him and make breakfast yourself.

Yeah, I know.

- I know... - It's kinda embarrassing?

Honestly, I don't want him to make breakfast.

I want him to feel embarrassed making breakfast for his daughter.

He is like, a typical type of a very serious man.

He's in such a rush making breakfast for me.

- Isn't that nice though? - Yeah only if it's not about you.

So that's the reason you stopped drawing comics?

Your mum died.

Your dad is still alive and living with you, what other choice do you have?

Just accept it, and be a good girl, that's the only way.

Cheer up, I'll pay for your lunch.

I wanna drink...

Oh don't get on it.

I need a drink!

She is such a playgirl.

She is indeed! She sees me and always says "What a nice day!" with a smile

I thought she is a nice girl but... turned out she is a mistress?

"What a nice day".

She is like 20 isn't she?

She is not nice, also nothing special.

Young girls these days...

I think they fit each other don't they? See, they're both so boring.

Both their names are on the front door, means they are going to get married?

Not sure about that.

Well, we'll see sooner or later.

For now, probably they are testing several things... you know?

- Oh stop it. - You are not so different, are you?

Oh no!

Am I his mistress? Hell no.

When things happen, my feet naturally tend to lead me to Professor Tagawa.

Don't stare like that!

Asking advice about my dad from him, like my father, it's kinda strange.

You are the mistress huh?

Never even though about that.

Is that from Konuma?

Yes, I guess you can make fun of me like that.

I know that.

He was obviously happy about you, isn't he kinda cute for that?

A cute 50 year old man?

It's nothing but gross.

- Did you get offended? - Deeply.

Shall we have lunch or something?

No, I don't want to.

Does he know you are with me today?

It's Sunday, which means he does.

He was home when I left, otherwise I wouldn't be wearing this.

I understand.

He got this for me yesterday.

When I put it on, how can I put it. I really despair.

This type of clothing does exist in this world I get it, but...

Me wearing this? I really despair.

The word "Despair shouldn't be used so casually.

The one you mean is the "Kanji” version. I'm saying the "Katakana" version.

That's not so serious.

- Is there a difference? - Clearly!

How?

It is simple, and light, but certainly still a "despair".

Cheers to your despair.

I wanna get drunk.

The younger generation like you turn everything into Katakana.

Because we have nothing particular to do other than that.

Konuma won't get it, I suppose.

He is just an averagely good man with common sense.

He is just trying so hard to be a father.

I don't wanna have a fight with him of course,

but I just want him to understand that I also have a preference for things.

He gives you whatever he likes doesn't he?

Exactly, like a "Present-man".

This is so cute.

I'll get this one.

Mimiko.

Oh, god!

Pick it up!

Thank you so much.

Mimiko, look.

How about this? It will look good on you.

Mimiko, look.

How about this? This is my favourite.

Look, swing swing!

Dad.

If only I was a little cuter they would suit me but...

But unfortunately, just like you I am also not so good looking.

I am not cute but, still have a preference.

Still, trying my best to be fashionable.

Why don't you say so out loud then.

But my dad seriously thinks I am good in frilly dresses like this.

How can I tell him.

Parents buy clothes thinking it will look good on their kids.

And kids don't like them, huh?

That is something that has been going on for generations.

It is what it is, you can't do anything about it.

But my mom didn't.

Mothers are different.

Why?

Because you are both women.

It is something that comes instinctively.

But fathers are men,

they will see daughters through their own filter.

He sees you through that cuteness filter called "Ara Mahoshiki".

Ara-what?

Ara-Mahoshiki.

What does it mean?

Hoping something will be ideal.

So my dad wants me to be good in a blue one-piece?

Uzattai. (How annoying)

Was it Japanese?

Means annoying, such a drag...

And can't help sighing.

"Uzattai".

Noted.

You are always so serious.

Thanks.

Cheers for "Uzattai".

You can drink so much considering your age.

That won't be good.

I'm happy when I'm drunk.

I'm not when I'm sober.

Where have you been!

Shoes!

Take your shoes off!

Why didn't you call anyway!

I'm sorry.

What about dinner?

We ate out.

You did?

Also we drank.

You can't make her yours!

She is my daughter, not yours!

Take your shoes off.

I am mad.

I am sorry, I really am.

You're such a nosy bastard.

I shouldn't had been divorced by Noriko for cheating only once.

But you pushed Noriko into doing it.

You were into Noriko, weren't you?

And that's why you made us divorce to get her.

And now Mimiko, after her?

You're such a bastard! Playboy!

We are done, I will never see you again.

I'm Mimiko's father, I will protect her. Now get out of here, you bastard.

Stop this nonsense.

Nothing is funny, you idiot.

Stop it.

Sorry. I really am.

Alright, let's have a drink.

Shall we?

My dad beat Professor Tagawa.

It's hard to see an adult man beating another man.

I thought this kind of scene was too early for my story.

How could I not drink after that.

We didn't drink when I was with my mom.

But so much alcohol is involved in the life with my dad.

So much happened tonight, I am exhausted.

A marine with a white cap and white shirt.

A seagull sailor floating and swaying on the wave.

A seagull sailor...

A seagull with a hangover...

With a headache...

Feels like throwing up.

What's this?

Medicine for hangover, needs to be taken with hot water.

Oh, dad.

You don't seem good.

Hangover.

That's a surprise.

Who did you drink with? Your boyfriend?

Professor Tagawa.

Wait, what.

- Spill the beans. - Are you guys dating now?

I have no energy even to laugh at that.

- So you guys just drank? - That's it? To get a hangover.

Get off, yes I did.

And when we got home

my dad was furious and had a fight with Professor Tagawa.

My dad beat him and Professor Tagawa took him out to have a drink.

And me,

I opened a bottle of whisky myself at home and around 3am

my dad and Professor Tagawa came back singing "A seagull sailor" together.

And they danced a bit and fell asleep.

Next morning when I woke up

my dad was gone already and breakfast was prepared.

It happened and he was there as a manager of the soap company.

I mean his company not school.

And I took a train.

Went to afternoon class.

Wow. That's a drama.

Oh, then you should use this story for your manga.

That's a good idea, I will.

Mimi.

I did.

Date with someone.

It isn't that special for you is it.

See, when was that?

Once you dated a different guy every day of the week and were treated a lot.

And you said you got fat and cancelled Sunday's date at the last minute.

- That's someone you know. - Who is?

- The person I'm dating with. - Who is it?

Can't you see?

- It hurts. - Yuki?

No way! I would never get my hands on your boy.

Well then.

I have no idea.

Professor Tagawa.

Wow, now that's a surprise.

Yes, I asked him out.

And he came.

And it turned out he is actually a gentle man.

But after midnight he takes me home and Sayonara.

I kinda started to get upset.

And I kissed him.

No comment.

I like him.

- I'm not going to warn you. - Why?

Because Maki is so much more mature than me.

I am like a kid's meal but...

I am just like a regular meal.

- Orange juice? - Yes, please

- So are you going to keep dating? - Coffee?

Of course I will.

Professor Tagawa is 49, because he was a classmate of my dad.

And I am 20, your classmate.

49 minus 20 is?

29, well, I guess that's what it is.

- What can I say - Hmm well.

Good luck?

Good luck.

Wish you the best?

Wish you the best.

It's like...

So much happens everyday.

I'm quite dizzy.

Shall we have a coffee?

I have a date today, sorry.

Oh you do?

Hey, thank you.

Oh that's so cold.

Hey have you slept with Yuki already?

Ouch.

Ouch, why did you hit me?

Stop that.

Human anatomy skeletal muscle diagram.

Oh, disgusting. Yuki's problem is here.

Here it is.

I was worried because I heard you were down, but you seem okay.

I am pretending and hiding that.

Spit it out.

Are you still proposing to me?

I need to keep mentioning it or you'll forget.

I'll remember.

- Doctor, it hurts. - Be patient, stretch towards the front now.

I must mention it or a girl who doesn't understand man's feelings like you

won't get it.

You are gaining weight.

Last night my dad beat up Professor Tagawa.

He was kinda messed up.

And he said

my mom and Professor Tagawa were having an affair.

- Does it bother you? - Yes.

Promise me. You are 8 years older than me.

And you are a relative of Professor Tagawa.

Also you are a sportsman, tough, cynical,

so if you said that they weren't having an affair, I might be able to be convinced.

Maybe they were, maybe they weren't.

- Why are you being so cold? - Noriko...

Your mother was divorced at 28 and died at 43.

If she wasn't seeing anyone during that whole time it sounds more awful.

I am now 28.

If I was told not to have anyone until 43, I would die.

Then you die.

I will see your dad soon.

Take me... to Roller Coaster

Such a kid.

A seagull sailor...

White shirt, white shirt, white...

Kiss marks.

Are these kiss marks?

This is underwear isn't it?

Yes it is.

The meaning of this is...

There was some sort of situation wasn't there.

There was.

What the heck.

Didn't he think I might see it?

He is just insensitive or...

Or?

He actually wanted you to know that he is seeing a woman.

- No way. - Disgusting?

- No, not like that. - Then what?

The thing I am the most responsible for in this house is doing laundry.

- I know that. - Especially underwear.

I am dealing with them when he's not home.

But he doesn't care at all and washes everything all at once

and ended up washing my things and his underwear all mixed up.

What are you going to do with that under shirt?

He can take care of it himself.

I am starting to understand why my mom left him.

I don't know if he is just careless.

Maybe he left the sign of another woman somehow unintentionally.

So I think my mom was fed up with his insensitivity

rather than the fact that he was having an affair.

- I heard you are a relative of Tagawa. - Quite distant.

- Your parents? - They live separately.

Why is that?

My family is quite messed up.

But also rich.

That is a bad combination which makes our family even worse.

That's why I left them.

What do you do for a living?

Make computers.

When did you start dating Mimiko?

Since she was 16.

I was 24.

At the time she though I was a middle aged man.

Can I have a coffee, please?

Noriko has passed away now.

Maybe she allowed you to be in a relationship with my daughter.

But I won't.

Why is that?

Because I don't know you well enough.

I'm not hiding anything.

So your dad won't allow me to date you.

Shall we run away together leaving everything behind?

Let's.

Don't be stupid.

She is 20, an adult.

She doesn't need permission to get married.

Get married?

Just saying though.

I won't allow it.

Oh, don't worry.

I am a man with common sense.

I just wanna stay out of trouble and that's enough for me.

I didn't come to propose to her today, just a greeting.

So no need to be so difficult.

I am her father.

I get it, but not legally.

We share the same blood. That is more important.

Isn't it for her to decide sooner or later?

What?

Dad or boyfriend, you or me.

Leave him, he's an asshole.

Take him with you.

Ah such a melodrama.

Reality always reflects a comic.

Stop dating with a moron. What the heck is that sports car.

- Just a car. - I told him.

You are a salaryman, you should have a normal car.

And he said he has another one for work.

He does.

Furthermore...

It is arrogant and cheeky to live in a mansion at his age,

no matter how rich his family is.

And?

What nonsense to spend the New Year skiing in France

because it's annoying to stay in Japan?

I won't accept dating him any longer.

Mimiko, where are you going?

What the heck is this? Explain it.

Shut up! Children shouldn't nose around their parents' privacy.

But it is a parent's duty to nose around their child's privacy.

That was so unfair, dad.

I wasn't jealous of Yuki when I realised he was rich and lives in a mansion.

But my dad. He seemed really upset and jealous.

I don't understand.

How can I put it, I rather feel pity for his small heart.

Don't cry.

Please let me.

Go to Yuki and cry.

No way! Yuki is so mad at my dad, going to see him and complaining together?

That's a definition of pity.

But that doesn't mean you can interrupt our date and cry?

He has been trying his best.

Isn't it wonderful he can actually get so mad about him?

There are so many middled age man who get eaten by society and lose themselves.

But he keeps his style and is just being himself.

What about you?

I am a lazy insidious middle aged man.

I am a university student who is active.

That sounds a burden to me.

You mean young girls are such a drag?

Yes, they are.

Hey, Professor Tagawa.

Why didn't you get married?

No particular reason, also I had no money.

Just naturally being like this.

Would falling in love be a problem?

- Hey Maki... - I wanna hear.

It does bother me.

Why?

I'd have to go Disneyland or something like that.

I'm just fine with going to a hotel.

Can you stop? I'm still here.

- Also I'd have to send flowers or such. - I hate flowers.

- You have a comeback for everything. - Because I am alive.

Can you be alive somewhere else?

Nope.

I wanna go home.

I'll take you home once the ship is docked.

I'll feel sad if you get scolded by your dad alone.

I'm coming too.

Do whatever you like.

Say it to me.

Say what?

Say "Good luck tonight".

You...

What's going on?

You'll see.

Whatever happens after this, I did warn you.

It's a game.

I get it now.

What?

The reason you didn't get married.

I won't tell anyone so can you tell me?

You are a kid who gets bored with toys so easily.

You are such a cheeky little girl.

Mimiko.

Yes?

You are still a child.

How so?

Mimiko...

I have something to say.

A talk between adults?

- We'll start living with someone soon. - Someone?

Yes, we will.

- She is... - She is?

Her name is Yoshie Shimamura.

So this is Yoshie.

- Nice to meet you. - Hi.

Mimiko, my daughter.

- Let's be friends. - Please do.

Well, she is not at all sexy.

She looks dodgy... I don't understand him.

So now my dad wants to kick me out because he wants to live with her?

How selfish.

I'm not his pet or such, I shouldn't be treated like this,

just because he gets bored with me.

Oh hi, such a nice day isn't it.

I will never leave this apartment.

If you wanna live with someone, then do it.

I will fight, I am a heroine, not a drama queen.

So slutty isn't she?

It's such a mess.

This apartment shouldn't have such goings on.

It's bad for our kids.

- I am worried for my husband. - Why is that?

If he saw their slutty life, he might start having something bad on his mind.

Oh yes, that's right, I think we should tell the janitor about this.

First of all, who the hell is that woman who came after?

Thick make-up, literally being slutty with him.

She must be a prostitute.

She looks like one of those types who does anything for money.

I feel sorry for that young girl.

Mr Konuma and her are both quite plain.

There is no way that young girl can compete with that slutty whore.

- By the way though... - What?

Is Konuma that good I wonder?

Maybe he has something good.

Honey, I'm coming.

(Mixture of them flirting in the bath and TV)

(Weather report)

- Beer? - Yes, I'd like one.

Oh, your shirt is open.

Excuse me, I already started dinner.

- There you go. - Thank you.

- That's it. - What about you, Mimiko-chan?

Thank you.

Now I will pour your glass.

- Thank you. - There you go.

There we go.

Cheers!

Wow, you drink well.

I'll get another bottle.

Mimiko, you are drinking too much.

Wow, this is so tasty.

Yoshie, your food is so much better than my dad's.

I am flattered.

- Is it good? - It's really nice.

My Heart Belongs to Daddy

Da da da da what? That's too loud.

Still 8:30 in the morning.

It's already 8:30.

Please let me sleep nicely at least on Sunday morning.

But it's such a wonderful sunny day!

I'll do laundry and clean the sheets, and how about going for a walk all together.

Hey, let's go somewhere nice, I'll make bento.

No.

Would you turn off the speaker?

What the heck is that song?

A morning kiss.

Hey stop, Mimiko might be awake.

She's probably still sleeping, she's only 20.

Young girls always sleep late.

- I want to sleep as well. - Oh I got it.

No, that's not what I meant.

I wanna sleep alone.

Then I'll do the laundry.

We are off now.

It's been two weeks since she came.

This is what you see every morning at my house.

Do this nonsense somewhere else not here, ah such a nightmare.

You worry too much, I'm just dizzy.

No, let's go see a doctor.

No need to be so dramatic.

Don't make me angry.

No matter how much you try to stand tall,

you are a still a kid who doesn't know anything.

Let's go.

You must be exhausted.

More than you think.

Just quit.

It was impossible to live, three of you all together in the first place.

Sleeping well lately?

Yes, sort of.

Has anything particular happened recently?

Yes, sort of.

Appetite?

Yes, somehow.

Able to be have sex?

Yes, somehow.

You have to answer properly.

Sorry.

Once reaching the age of 50

there is a high chance you may experience some sickness hidden inside your body.

A sudden environmental change, becoming anxious.

Those can be a trigger causing multiple sicknesses.

You should be more careful.

Okay.

Okay.

Let's give an injection.

That hurts.

Tenpura.

Flounder meuniere.

Grilled vegetable with beef liver.

Hmm, what should I cook tonight.

Are you alright?

I don't wanna go home.

Just come in.

Your dad is getting crazy, we were just talking about him.

You look literally overwhelmed.

She is, she fainted today at school.

I tried as hard as I could, because it would be so miserable

to be kicked out of my own house, you know.

Okay okay, get some sleep now.

I'll knock him out.

I thought he was a better man.

Everything he does is so messed up.

And how can he blame my life?

He is so selfish, childish.

He is hopeless being like that at his age.

Stop it.

So it's like a rather plain looking man is crazier than the other.

Look who's bothered now.

Stop talking like that.

Sorry, I was kidding.

I got it.

You mention his bad things but also get mad hearing someone say the same.

What do you mean?

You love your dad that much at least.

I still don't get it.

I don't get anything.

Stay here tonight.

We have to sleep all together with Yuki.

I feel sorry for myself.

Sorry...

I'll make up for tonight.

You can do whatever you want at this time.

- Is Konuma here? - Yes he is.

Ah Mimi-chan.

Sorry I didn't come home without saying anything.

- Where have you been? - She was at my home.

- And you are...? - Mimiko's boy friend.

You never told me that.

I was going to when the time comes.

Why didn't you call me?

I couldn't sleep worrying about you.

She didn't on purpose.

What's the meaning of that?

I guess you know.

I don't.

Let me tell you, just in case.

Maki and I were also staying at Yuki's last night.

It sounds like we did something bad.

It was her choice to stay there.

Just let her be, she also has her own life.

We are not supposed to step in too much.

But it doesn't sound right and boring.

So this is how.

You push me away.

I never said I'm going to Yuki's.

If you say it like that it sounds like I have to.

About Yoshie, I will sort it out once I come back from a work trip to Hokkaido.

I see.

What do you mean by "Sort it out"?

Does that mean you will get married?

And then that would be the end for me.

I will no longer be able to stay with you

Yoshie seems so happy.

Of course she should be, she will become a wife soon.

She told me to have a party all of a sudden after I got home from school,

saying let's enjoy the moment while my dad is away.

I though of going to your place.

But I don't want to bother you.

And also my room can't be locked.

I am glad you are here.

You can come anytime.

Hey, you can talk anytime.

Let's dance shall we?

Shall we?

Chin up.

Oh you are actually good.

Mimi-chan, you are good.

Hey Yuki.

You are drinking a lot, are you alright?

Don't worry.

Has Yuki gone home already?

Why?

Why is it?

Drink it.

And then sleep.

You'll start thinking about it after that.

Hold me.

Hold me, will you?

Whose replacement am I now?

And so you are.

It won't solve anything.

I don't need a reason.

Am I not that attractive?

You are cute.

You're lying.

You are almost too cute to put my hands on.

So this is how....

You make me feel...

like an outsider.

Now, it's time to go upstairs and rest.

What if it was my mom right here now?

The sun is cruelly beautiful.

Oh, you are back.

You can have Yuki, so leave my dad alone.

Please listen, I was just drunk last night.

It won't happen again so please forgive me.

I won't.

You are still too young too understand.

What?

Men and women make mistakes sometimes.

But if it was only once, we can forget about it.

Get out of my house.

If only you can be an adult and understand this, everything will be fine.

- Can you please forgive me? - No I can't.

I will be your slave, I will serve you forever, so please?

Then listen to your master.

Don't make me say it again. Get out.

It won't work will it?

No.

He held me so tight.

It looks like he was so desperate for it.

If you are so boring...

It doesn't matter who.

He will be taken by anyone.

Here, for you.

My heart belongs to daddy, Marilyn Monroe.

So you are the same, dad, you were also betrayed.

And yeah.

I didn't want you to feel the same pain and grief that I had.

That's why I let Yoshie take you from me.

When my dad is back, he will be so shocked

that Yoshie is gone.

And he might think it is because of me.

And..

He will be mad.

But I don't care.

It's better than knowing the truth

and getting hurt.

You're such a child.

Hello, Mimiko.

You are so cruel,

why don't you get mad at me and slap my face or such.

I don't wanna break with you...

only because of your dad.

I really don't like it.

You...

You were only seeing me just like that?

How cruel.

Both you and me.

Satisfied now?

How are you doing?

I know I will be back in two days,

but I wanted to let you know as soon as possible so I wrote this.

I am going to break up with Yoshie.

I didn't expect it would somehow last that long,

and I am truly sorry for that.

The reason I invited Yoshie here was,

I thought she would leave if she saw

how precious you are to me.

But I was wrong.

But I've made up my mind, I will take action this time.

I bought "Shiroi Koibito" chocolates for you (Famous souvenir from Hokkaido)

From your dad.

To Mimiko.

It sounds almost like a love letter.

It's too late now, dad.

Where's the band-aid?

He is so late.

Mimiko.

Please forgive me.

What are you saying, coming coming home this late?

I heard from Yoshie.

Everything.

It's all my fault.

It's all because I let Yoshie in here.

It all happened because of me.

I am so sorry.

I don't know what to do.

Stop dad, please stop, dad.

I'm not as hurt as you think.

Maybe, yeah,

because I wasn't yet Yuki's wife.

If it had happened after we got married, I would be so hurt.

I think I am okay.

I think I will be able to forget somehow.

Actually it was okay.

Because I got to know Yuki was such a playboy... playboy.

Mimiko.

- Are you... - What?

Are you not able to forgive him?

I am just like my mom was once.

Sir, let me pick it up.

Sorry, I am not used to a place like this.

So I got a bit nervous, sorry.

I will get a new spoon right away.

Thank you.

A long time ago the same as this happened and your mom laughed at me

Shall we drink a toast?

You fool.

I remember we're out of milk, I'll get some right there.

Can you wait here?

Just wait.

My dad is such a decent man.

You changed your hairstyle.

Yes.

- It suits you. - Thanks.

Hey, Mimiko, me and Professor Tagawa are doing well.

Do you know what that means?

- Means literally that, doesn't it? - Don't be ridiculous.

Hmm yes, I sort of get it probably.

Do you think we just drink and talk?

We sleep together every time we meet.

Like men and women do.

So?

I think he has been doing the same with so many girls in the past

and probably will in future.

What are you going to do if that's true?

I might forgive him.

I am still a kid.

I am only to be taught.

But I won't like it, I'll try to get him back.

It's your doll, mom.

And the album.

And this is...

I wonder if this is what happens when we die?

Leaving your stuff like this?

Open it.

Mom?

Open it, please.

- Are you sure? - I want you to open it.

These are all yours, mom.

From Yohei Konuma.

All from my dad to my mom.

Are these?

These really are all from my dad.

It's all from my dad, mom.

Love letters 15 years after she went away.

My mom kept waiting.

And my dad...

kept writing.

I don't think I should have started living with her.

I really shouldn't have.

The dad of a bride.

What?

Someday...

Your daughter will be taken away by other men no matter what.

It is always dad who cries

and daughter always smiles.

And all we could do is just look at them.

Isn't it such a pain?

It is.

Konuma, there is only one way you can prevent that happening.

What's that?

Marry Mimiko.

I will manage the legal stuff.

Since I am a lawyer.

- Are you serious? - Kidding.

Only kidding.

You fool.

You're such an idiot.

Try to find a woman and get married again.

You are always such a loser.

Hey, another glass please.

What about you then?

Hey master, give me another one too.

So my dad got his heart broken twice.

First with my mom.

And secondly with me.

You are like a small shrine.

Staying in the tomb of love.

Do you smell my scent there?

Happy Birthday.

Thanks everyone, I really mean it.

It was Yuki who started this, my fiftieth birthday party.

I would like to make an announcement too.

I'm getting married.

Mimiko!

- You bastard, how could... - No it's not what you think.

She is my seagull sailor.

Oh I see.

Are you guys serious?

Congratulations.

A seagull sailor

All lined up.

So you finally graduated Manga then.

Why don't you dance with Yuki.

Maybe later.

Yuki Matsushita.

And Mimiko Matsushita.

Becoming an adult is easy.

You aren't though, you are still a half-child.

Am I?

It's so simple, a child becomes an adult.

Hey.

What?

Do you wanna sleep with me?

You idiot. Of course I do.

Yeah I do, I do.

Just saying. Nothing more than that.

Oh Dad, you've never learnt, have you?

Why are you wearing black like going to a funeral?

Today is a funeral.

Funeral for both your loves?

It's time to become an adult, dad.

Mimiko, you do.

We'll live separately from now on.

Yes, this is good bye.

It's bit sad, isn't it?

It is what it is. All fathers lose their daughter someday.

So all daughters are to experience many things and become an adult.

I'll let you go now, Mimiko.

- Thanks dad, I won't forget. - I know, I really do.

Don't turn back.

See you again someday, dad.
