I'm Oono Yuuta, a ronin student.
I have no money, but I have a dream...
To get into college,
and be together with Minori-chan who I love!
Tajima Minori 18 years old, Yuuta's girlfriend
But then...
Nishina Natsume 21 years old Freeter
At the share house I went to in Shimokitazawa called Nuutopia...
Komori Miha 19 years old Women's college student
There were five beautiful and sexy women!
By the end of June, we'd like you to vacate this house.
Muroi Chiho 28 years old Nuutopia's owner
No way!
Please, give me just one more chance!
Ichimonji Nozomi 23 years old Public Safety Officer
I wonder if you're capable of going to an onsen.
Enoki Tsuyako ? years old Mysterious traditional clothed beauty
I'll bet right now he's at the onsen with those women....
What's your dream, Mao-san?
To become...
a doctor.
Thank you, Yuuta.
Uehara Mao 20 years old Cram/prep school student
Bring that boy to me.
That boy in debt.
Kubo Tooru 20 years old Man in debt

At this rate...

I wonder if Uncle's alright....
Hey missy....
Where're you going?
Oh, you've got ice, pretty nice!
Let me go!
You've got a man waiting, huh?
Stop it!
Stop, she says!
Missy....
How bout having a good time with me?
Go away!
No!!
Stop it!
Are you alright?
Don't worry.
It's alright now.
Yes.
Thank you.
Good job.
"Witch"
Just as promised.
Thank you very much.
Now get out of here.
Looks like it went just as planned.
But you know, don't you think it's a bit much??
To meet someone by saving them?
Women wait wishing for their prince on a white horse.
If we chase out that girl Minori...
Nozomi will be able to take her place and get into Nuutopia.
I'll destroy Nuutopia!
Why do you have to do that?
An open fire...
Open fire?
You...
If you don't want your disgrace revealed,
Give it your all.
Debt boy....
Yes.
That's right!
They say sake's good for drowning your sorrows.
Uncle!
You shouldn't! Drinking too much is bad for your body!
That's right, Dad! You shouldn't!
Up to now, I've been working hard so my customers could drink good sake.
Now...
let me drink.
I understand!
Drink up!
That's wonderful! In sake that'd be...
Tamano Hikari (Sphere of Light)
Father, please eat this.
That's Tani Sakura (Cherry Blossom Valley)
Even if it's just your feelings, I'd like to comfort you.
A mature aroma, "Hana no mai" (Dance of Flowers)
You know, everyone's so beautiful!
Well, in sake that'd be...
Genmai ginjyo grade...
Gonin Musume (Five Daughters)
A toast! A toast!
Is he really sick?
Hello?
Oh, Yuuta?
Mom?
Uncle! Please stop!
Minori-chan, I'm alright.
I know my own body.
Is pops really that bad?
It's terrible.
The bleeding's gotten worse.
The pain's gotten intense.
Lately, even standing up up my own...
I can't....
Uncle!
Tokyo for a celebration?
I'm alright.
It's my lower body....
Going to the toilet is difficult....
Pop's health?
The doctor said...
I should take care of my personal affairs while I can.
No!
The day before yesterday, your father got the results of his physical.
"Jinushi."
Landlord?
No problems, he was really happy!
No problems?!
Um... Father?
Do you own land?
No, not that...
Ji, as in hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids?!
Pops!
So your long illness is...
hemorrhoids.
What're you trying?
Don't play around!
Mao?
There are things you shouldn't joke about!
Making like you have a year,
There are people who are really suffering through that!
I'm sorry.
That's right!
Lying and trying to take me back is cowardly!
Idiot!
An idiot like you...
I can't leave you!
Go home already!
Do you hate restaurants that much?
It's not that I hate restaurants.
I just want to get into Rokkyo University!
You want to get into Rokkyo University with a ranking of 35?!
How can you say that?
Or can you say...
that after coming to Tokyo, your rankings gone up any?
After all,
you're my son.
Taking over our shop...
Is for you.
For you,
getting into Rokkyo University is impossible!
Uncle! Stop it!
You!
You're just running from reality!
Yuuta,
Where're you going!
Yuuta!
Yuuta...
Sorry...
Pop's brought up bad memories.
He's a good father.
What?
Without caring about appearances, he's trying to deal withg you.
It's love.
Mao-san, you don't understand.
He's just being tyranical.
In this world...
there are parents who would not help their children.
What?
With my father, it's all about money.
The last year of my mother's life after she got sick...
My father quickly gave up on her.
He figured she couldn't be cured, so did nothing.
I couldn't do anything for my mother.
Compared to that, you're lucky.
I just wanted to tell you that.
Uncle, wait!
I'm sorry for all the trouble.
Is this alright?
Pops!
Pops...
I want to search for my dream in my four years at Rokkyo University.
Seeing many worlds...
I want to find my own path in life!
No matter where you are, you can see the world.
You came to Tokyo,
to run away.
Not now!
After coming to Tokyo,
After meeting Chiho-san and everyone here in Nuutopia...
I've learned many things.
Meeting everyone,
Seeing many worlds.
Seeing everyone's dreams.
For Chiho-san,
to make this the ideal sharehouse.
While working hard as a designer.
And Natsume-san,
she wants to become an actress.
While working part time, she goes to the theatrical company.
Miha-san,
Aiming to become a novelist, she reads all these difficult books!
Mao-san...
left home and is going to become a doctor on her own.
She works and studies every day!
I've realized...
What supports you...
Are your true dreams!
Please... give me some time!
Yuuta,
Yes?
With a ranking of 35, don't be so naive!!
Wow! It looks so delicious!
That's a pro cook for you!
It looks so delicious!
Uncle!
Please, go ahead and eat.
Thank you!
Thank you for the food!
Pops....
You should eat before it gets cold.
Thank you for the food.
Delicious!
Of course.
That's your mother's.
Your mother worked hard at perfecting how to get the stock.
She wanted...
the customers...
to have delicous miso soup.
At the shop...
Mother would bring out the miso soup,
I would serve good sake,
and...
you would bring the food.
The three of us,
would present the best for our customers.
That...
is your father's dream.
I'll wait till next year.
However,
if you don't make it, come home.
Got it?
Pops!
You're just sitting there with your chopsticks.
Snap out of it!
Eat!
Yes!
But... do you think Minori's fallen for it?
A chaste woman will be swayed by another man.
When it becomes serious...
But once it becomes really serious...
A slave to passion.
So...
can I ask?
What is it?
What you said before,
what is that "open flame"?
Open flame...
is it to burn something?
The most important thing in life...
it's passion.
Passion....
I've raised you with these frail arms,
into a government worker.
My husband whom I loved passed away.
It was sudden!
Everything eventually fades away.
For that purpose...
A crack will open in my heart.
Unless you make your passion burn,
you cannot live!
So hot, so intense!
For that you need firewood.
The fight for Nuutopia fight.
Yes?
Hey!
Yo!
Kaoru-san!
You wore a bathing suit?
Yeah, we have to measure sizes.
Ojou's not here? And I bought cake.
She's been at a training camp with her literary circle since this morning.
This one's cute!
Oh, hello!
Hello.
I'll introduce you.
This is Kaoru, she was living here before you.
I'm Kaoru, pleased to meet you.
Pleased to meet you, I'm Minori.
Are you making a wedding dress?
We've decided to hold the ceremony during the summer with just the families.
Chiho-nee, I'm sorry, you've got the eviction from this place to worry about too.
No matter what happens, I'll make your wedding dress, Kaoru.
A dream for a designer,
this nice body!
Chiho-nee, that's too tight!
Yuuta-chan, nosebleed! Nosebleed!
How nice, a wedding dress....
How wonderful!
Minori-chan,
do you want something like this too?
All women wish for something like this.
To catch eternal love in a pure dress!
The bridegroom goes under the brides skirt and takes off her garter belt.
That's the garter toss!
Natsume, watch the morals!
He's here!
There's someone I want everyone to meet.
This way!
Oh?
Kubo Tooru, age twenty.
A distant relative of mine.
I was thinking he could be Yuuta's tutor.
Private tutor?
Tooru's in Todai Universities Law program.
T-Todai?! (Tokyo University, considered #1)
So Yuuta-kun, what do you think?
What? Well, but....
Miha's not here, and I think a man will be stricter too!
And he's cool.
I'm Nishina Natsume, 21 years old, a fledgling actress!
I'm Nuutopia's owner, Muroi Chiho.
Single, taking applications for boyfriend!
I'm a past member of Nuutopia, Okazaki Kaoru.
Nice to meet you.
Kaoru-chan, you're taken!
I'm just being polite!
And you are?
I'm Tajima Minori. Thank you for the other day.
What? You know each other?
When that weirdo attacked me, he came to help me.
What? That was you, Tooru?
How cool!
I'm so excited!
A man has come to Nuutopia!
I'm a man too!
You're a pet.
Alright! Stop!
Questions...
Only two.
Ten is impossible!
Exams are a fight against time.
You've got to cover one question in 15 seconds or you won't make it in time.
15 seconds?!
Yuuta-kun,
what's your ranking?
Well...
it's thirty five.
With thirty five...
you want to get into Rokkyo University.
It's alright!
You can tell me anything!
Yuuta-kun,
you're a ronin student, right?
March, April, May are the best months.
But during the summer break, everyone's raising they're rankings.
If you're thirty five now...
After summer break,
you might fall to thirty.
Ranking of thirty....
Don't worry about it.
You've still got three months till summer break is over.
And there are people who've gotten into Todai with a ranking of thirty.
Hearing that from you, Mao-san, makes me feel better.
Thank you.
Today is stew,
how's it taste?
It's good.
That's good.
This is good.
Oh, should I try some?
Thanks for waiting!
Everyone!
Thanks for waiting!
So?
Natsume-chan, what's that outfit?
I'm an arabian dancer!
I'll dance for Kubo-kun!
Did you see?
This is kind of like a harem.
Hey! You look happy about that!
I am not.
You are!
Kubo-kun, you don't have any beer!
Yuuta-chan!
Go!
Yes.
Master!
You're quick to change, aren't you?
Only just the other day, you were all over Yuuta.
But Yuuta-chan's got Minori-chan.
Oh? Is that right?
Stop it! It's not like that!
Yuuta, can I help you with something?
It's alright.
Why don't you just go back.
So, what do you think about what we talked about?
You mean about vacating this house?
It's a difficult case.
I'm sure it's because the grudge that gaudy women holds.
Kubo-kun, you're in the Todai law school, right?
Can you think of anything?
I think it's just as your lawyer friend said.
So it's no good?
You can probably negotiate on the date and fees though.
I knew we could count on a Todai law student!
If you're in the Todai law school, then does that mean you're going to be a lawyer?
I intend to take the exam next year.
You intend to?
You really are a Todai student, so calm about it!
After Todai, becoming a lawyer, a super elite!
That's not true.
You're being so modest!
I'm going to have a drink!
Yuuta! You have to study for your exams!
Yuuta, you're our pet, so play some kind of game!
Yuuta!
Yes! Here goes!
Limbo!
Yuuta-kun, next!
Idiot.
You don't understand.
How a ronin feels.
Limbo!
Are you alright, Yuuta-kun?
Yes, let's try again!
Oh no! Kubo-kun!
Yuuta-kun,
that was really fun, thanks!
Sorry for making you play along with something so stupid.
What are you talking about? I really enjoyed it!
What's wrong?
That....
Water?
Nozomi-san, you don't like water?
It's not the water...
I'm scared....
It's alright now.
Ok?
Thank you.
That's good.
It worries me...
About Nozomi-chan.
What about Nozomi-san?
I may just be imagining things, but...
Nozomi-chan,
she was awefully insistent when she asked me to be Yuuta's tutor.
It made me think, maybe she has some reason.
And then...
This....
Nozomi-chan sent it to me earlier.
The best for the flames of passion...
are love and jealousy!
Nozomi-san,
what's the meaning of this?
What's going on?
Nozomi-chan, you're with Enoki Tsuyako?
Why?
She's trying to destroy Nuutopia, right?
Nozomi-san's not like that!
Do you have some connection with Tsuyako-san?
It's not like that!
That picture...
was taken at this past end of years after party.
I went with my coworkers to Snack Passion.
That time...
I got drunk and took that picture with Tsuyako-san.
I sent it to Tooru.
That's all!
Liar!
This past onsen trip,
wasn't it you, Nozomi-san, that told Tsuyako-san?
I'm sorry!
I...
brought a tutor for Yuuta without asking...
Minori-chan's your girlfriend, right?
This isn't good, is it.
It's not that....
Then why?
I feel like I'm a part of Nuutopia, but...
Heraing that...
makes me feel so lonely.
Minori,
stop it.
Nozomi-chan wouldn't do something like that!
But...
If you're trying to get the attention of a man, you should find a better way.
Minori-chan, come with me!
Hold it, Yuuta!
Minori-chan, you don't know Nozomi-san.
You saw that picture, right? Something's definitely up.
Nozomi-san's not someone who'd be Tsuyako's slave.
She saved me from Tsuyako-san before!
Why won't you believe me?
Minori-chan, believe me!
What am I to you, Yuuta?
If something happens, it's Mao-san. You believe Nozomi-san.
I'm always after someone else!
Minori-chan, don't be misled by Kubo-chan!
Yuuta, Kubo-san's worried about Nuutopia.
That's why he told us.
He's trying to protect us!
Am I that undependable?
Minori-chan...
I'm sorry.
I forced Tooru as your tutor on you.
I wanted to do something for you, Yuuta-kun.
I...
love you Yuuta-kun.
Are you alright?
Burn! Burn!
The strings that tie men and women....
This is my revenge,
my passion!
I'm sorry.
I...
have Minori-chan.
Let's go back.
Let's talk to Nozomi-chan again.
I'm...
on your side Minori-chan.
I don't want to go back.
continued
It's Miha and...
Natsume's...
Why Is It? Corner!
Natsume-san, what's the meaning of the grater toss?
The garter toss is a custom that was started in France.
The bridegroom removes the brides garter.
It's tossed to the men as an omen.
The man who gets it will be next, it's believed.
It's the same idea as the bouquet toss, right?
How I wish....
Ojou, you need to get a man first!
For next weeks Shimokta Glory Days...
Next time...
Miha's back?
She's acting strange.
New characters appear!!
I've found my Ikemen.
Now it's perfect!
Bikini Miss Mama!
I'll show you...sweet honey....
"After this, sexy shot"
Miha's H cup treasure trove!!
