Good evening, everyone.
I'm the manager of the boarding house.
Self-appointed, though.
My cousin Sunako-chan...
Dazzling!
Is a shut-in who will melt if she sees anything dazzling.
If they can make Sunako-chan into a lady...
...Mama told them they'd get free rent. So, they're all working hard.
Sunako-chan's special, right? Just admit it!
She's not special!
When I saw Sunako-chan's smile...
I was able to feel like I wanted to have someone special again.
I need to talk to you.
What do you want?
I wonder if things are okay up there.
I'll go take a look.
What's wrong? Who is it?
Huh? It's nothing. Go on ahead.
Yes. This is Takenaga.
I'm sorry about before.
I got pretty worked up, and called you an idiot...
It's fine. I...
...also said some stuff I shouldn't have. Sorry.
But, I really don't you to run away from your feelings.
Deep down, you know that you've finally fallen in love with someone.
You don't give up, do you?
You got that from Sunako-chan, didn't you?
You keep it next to your bed, like you treasure it.
It's a charm against evil, y'know?
Why are you hiding your feelings from us? We're friends, aren't we?
What are you shouting about? You'll wake Takeru up.
Well, Kyouhei...
It's you!
You're just scared Sunako-chan will reject you.
- What? - Aren't I right?
You keep running from yourself!
I'm not running!
Cut it out right now.
Yukinojo, calm down a little bit.
Why?
Kyohei needs to decide what to do for himself. Outsiders shouldn't interfere.
"Outsiders?"
That's right. Don't interfere.
We're friends who live together!
Kyohei, you need to grow up a little, too!
This isn't my fault!
Oh, Chinatsu-san? Your husband's away on business?
Hot springs? Sounds great...
Ranmaru, pay attention! Talking about a hot spring trip now, of all times!
Takenaga, why are you so agitated? Did something happen?
There, meddling in someone else's business again.
Why don't you try taking care of yourself first?
Take care of what?
You were going on and on about Machiko-chan dumping you...
...but you don't for sure yet, do you?
Sorry it's so loud, Chinatsu-san...
You should go directly to America and see if it's true or not.
Don't be so scared that you spend your time crying and moping around here.
An open-air bath? That sounds wonderful...
Stop it!
Butt out, Rich boy.
What?
What a weak punch.
Get up.
You meddle too much!
- Let go. - Don't wanna.
Just cut it out.
I said let go!
You hit my face.
I've never even been hit by my parents!
I said, "Stop it," didn't I?
I can't spend all my time looking after you guys.
See... Takenaga got mad.
What are you all doing?
Takeru... Why?
Sunako-chan...
Obachan, I'm sorry.
I'm not a lady yet...
Well, there is that, but...
I'm actually going to keep Takeru with me for a little while.
What?
I can't trust you all to take care of him with things the way they are now.
I was looking forward to having bibimbap tonight too!
Did you all hear that?
- But, Kyohei... - He's the one who...
Be silent!
In any case, work things out by the time Takenaga comes back.
You're not children.
- Before he comes home? - Isn't he still asleep upstairs?
Takenaga dropped Takeru off, then went to his parents' house.
His parents' house?
He said he got a phone call about his dad being so sick he had to be hospitalized.
I just got back...
He didn't even tell us something that important before he left...
He must've been pretty disgusted with everything.
Kyohei, you're always saying childish things.
It's not just my fault!
Oh... Shouting makes my wound ache.
You're not really hurt, are you?
Stop trying to get sympathy by wearing a band-aid.
Takenaga's not answering.
Things must be crazy, with the head-of-house being hospitalized.
Head of house?
Takenaga belongs to the head family of a flower-arranging school.
Well, I'm off to the hot spring with Chinatsu-san.
At a time like this?
I'm not going to hang around and get punched again.
If you'll excuse me.
Hey! Wait up, Ranmaru!
You wouldn't think he'd hold a grudge...
Kyohei, try to stop him too! Takenaga's having a tough time right now!
He just went home because his dad's sick, right?
It's not something to get worked up about.
Fine. I'm going to go stay at a friend's place for a while.
Just do what you want.
You won't try and stop me?
You're too much trouble.
U-um...
See you, Sunako-chan.
"Friend"... doesn't mean much, does it?
Um...
Is it okay? Leaving things like this?
It can't be helped, can it?
But!
There's no helping it.
You can go somewhere else too.
Hiroshi-kun...
Everyone left.
Yay! Yay!
Ow.
Kyohei, you need to grow up a little, too!
He must've been pretty disgusted with everything.
Kyohei's always saying childish things.
Are you okay?
You really are plain scary.
Oh. I'm sorry.
Wanna drink too?
No. I'm fine.
Are you okay drinking that much?
Is it bad for me to drink?
Am I causing trouble for anyone?
Go ahead.
Delicious.
Um...
U... Um...
You don't have to force yourself into trying to cheer me up.
I'm not... forcing myself...
I bet I look pretty pitiful, don't I?
I...
...was found by Obachan.
...found...
...on a rainy day.
That's...
That's the first time...
...I met them.
Two years ago...
...when I was in my first year of college...
...some stuff happened...
...and I couldn't stay with my family anymore.
You're not normal, Kyohei.
You should never have been born with that face. You just cause trouble for me if you're around.
So... I ran out of the house...
On a rainy day...
...I was found...
He'll be living here from now on. Takano Kyohei.
Yo.
Good evening.
By the time I arrived...
...those 3 were already living here.
Kyohei-kun, phone! She says she's your girlfriend.
Wow, so you've got a girlfriend?
Tell her he's not home, okay?
Hello? Kyohei-kun is out right now.
Are you guys fighting right now?
It's not good to make a lady cry.
Hello? Oh, Kyohei-kun is out right now...
What? Kyohei-kun's girlfriend?
Yes. I'll tell him.
Hello? Kyohei-kun is... Yes, I'll tell him.
What's going on? They're all saying they're your girlfriend.
They're just imagining it.
Imagining it?
That's the kind of girl Kyohei is being chased by.
Really?
They found out about this place quicker than I thought they would.
Give us Kyohei-kun!
We know he's there! Give Kyohei-kun back to our town!
Why are you crying, Yukinojo?
This is awful.
Do you want to go overseas? I can arrange something for you.
Kyohei-kun shouldn't have to run away.
It'll be okay.
We'll protect you, Kyohei-kun.
Because... we're friends, right?
Right? You agree, don't you?
I guess...
Oh well, I suppose it's time for me to go out there...
Ladies, if you go home...
...I'll do something nice for you.
Ladies...
You're disturbing the other neighborhood residents.
Please go home.
Okay.
Kyohei-kun is dating me!
Go home!
Why?
Why? Why are they doing that?
They know you're a guy.
Hmm... But, they like it, so whatever, right?
Besides, you're cute.
Eh?
All of them are so dumb...
That's amazing.
They did lots of stuff after that too...
Until we were finally able to live peacefully...
Friends...
If you drink that much...
...they all just up and left so easily...
"Friend"... doesn't mean much, does it?
That's how little it means to them.
To them...
Don't you think you should stop...
- I'm fine. - No you're not.
- I'm fine. Give it back. - You're not...
Daz...
Dazzling!
Huh?
Stay here.
Just a little longer.

Why?
Ow.
Dazzling!
Ouch.
Dazzling...
Say "ah"...
Ran-chan, you've been distracted since yesterday.
I said, "Let's go to a hot spring," but we ended up in a hotel in the city.
Is being with me that boring?
That's not true, Honey.
Then what? Are you worried about the friends you fought with?
Of course not.
You're the only one I ever think about.
Welcome.
If you're that worried, then you should go back.
What?
You're waiting here because you think Kyohei will come in, aren't you?
No. I don't want to see him, so I thought I'd leave if he came.
Relationships with other people can break more easily than you'd think.
The harder it is to face someone, the more important it is to get up the courage to see them.
Yukinojo.
Eh?
Why aren't you wearing it?
That pendant you got from your girlfriend who went to America.
You're pretty sharp to notice something like that.
Being able to make sharp observations is important in an investigation.
You don't need that in a coffee shop.
Yuki-kun, close your eyes.
[Summer, 2009]
Okay. Open them.
This is our special symbol.
Machiko-chan.
Yuki-kun?
Yuki-kun.
I missed you, Yuki-kun!
Why?
I asked you to meet me here today on the card.
Card?
I sent my Valentine's chocolate here.
- Huh? - What?
Sorry. I forgot.
How mean. I thought you'd remember to give it to him properly, Master.
So, that means it was here?
Well, being able to make sharp observations is important, right?
No, no, no...
Sorry, Yuki-kun. You guys get so many, I thought it'd get misplaced if I sent it to the boarding house.
Here.
Thanks.
Amazing. There are so many...
There really are a lot. Amazing.
Look, a shark.
Hey, do you know what made me fall in love with you?
What?
You don't lie about your feelings...
You're honest and straightforward, and put 100% into everything you do.
Whatever you feel always shows on your face.
I can see it now.
You really want to make up with Kyohei-kun.
Thank you.
...for putting my feelings first.
But, the people who are important to you...
...are important to me too, Yuki-kun.
It really is you, Machiko-chan.
I'm sorry!
Hey...
It was just as you said, Kyohei.
If I hadn't gotten scared, I would've found out it was a misunderstanding right away.
But I just complicated things, and made everyone fight.
I'm so sorry! Please forgive me.
Hey. C'mon.
C'mon.
I'm sorry, too.
I went too far with what I said.
I'm sorry for making you worry too, Sunako-chan.
It's fine.
Man, I only had spacious living conditions for one night.
What is that? When I've just come home...
You wanted to come back, didn't you? Just be honest.
You wanted me to come back too, didn't you?
No, I was perfectly happy by myself.
You're lying.
Takenaga's still not picking up.
He's probably just eating.
It'd be nice if he called, though. I wonder if he's still mad...
Um... I'm finished making dinner.
Let's eat. Itadakimasu!
- Itadakimasu. - Looks delicious.
Things seem really empty when we're not all here.
Really?
Shall we go see him? We can pay our respects to his father too.
Give it up.
Why?
Open up!
Why does she want in through there?
Please, open up!
What's wrong, Noi-chan?
Noi, are you okay?
She has a high fever...
Sorry. She insisted she wanted to come here...
Ta...Takenaga-kun... Takenaga-kun...
You went to Takenaga's house?
He texted me that he was going to his parents' house...
After that, he wouldn't answer his phone.
So, were you able to see him?
His father came out...
His father? But wasn't he ill and in the hospital?
No, he was really healthy...
He got really mad at me!
He said he'd never let his son date a flashy girl like me.
Wait. So, that means that Takenaga was tricked, right?
What?
His father tricked him, and forced him to come back.
Thank you.
In ikebana, it is by conversing with the flowers that we are able to express beauty.
Takenaga-sama came home...
There isn't anyone besides the young master who can inherit the head-of-house duties...
It seems your skills haven't dulled.
Thank you, Father.
They're probably watching him. That's why he can't answer his phone.
But, Takenaga-kun didn't say anything today.
What?
His father said that I lived in an entirely different world than Takenaga-kun...
...but Takenaga-kun didn't say anything to defend me.
Maybe he was forcing himself all this time...
Why?
Well, he was always nice to me, and always listened to what I said...
...but Takenaga-kun never told me how he felt!
He never liked me at all!
Noi...
We really should go see him.
He may have wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Takenaga's father is scary...
He could want to come back, but not be able to.
Let's go see him and make sure.
He's a 21 year old man. They can't confine him to the house.
He's deliberately choosing not to come back.
But, we haven't asked him directly yet.
You don't want to leave things like this, do you?
Don't care.
Fine, then. I'll go by myself.
Is... Is this the time to be stubborn?
Huh?
Last night, you were so lonely, you were drinking by yourself...
Seconds.
Kyohei was drinking by himself?
I was so happy, I toasted myself.
Don't mention unnecessary stuff like that.
You really wanted them to come back, right?
You're being pretty assertive this time.
You wanted seconds, right? Seconds...
It's huge.
Use your best manners, and greet him properly.
You don't have to remind me.
Besides, he can't complain about this, right?
Why did I have to come?
You live at the boarding house too, don't you?
That's true, but...
He's acting confident, but he's unsure.
Okay, let's go.
Use your best manners!
I have come to ask something!
Hey, hey, hey...
Please wait here.
Why the garden?
Oh. Takenaga!
Sorry to just show up... We...
Would you please go home?
I'm sorry, but I can't go back to the boarding house anymore.
Sorry to just show up... We...
Would you please go home?
I'm sorry, but I can't go back to the boarding house anymore.
But, you were tricked into coming back, weren't you?
I would have had to come back eventually.
It was just earlier than I thought.
But...
It's not like we're here to drag you back.
Just...
How do you feel about us?
Letting things end like this...
Is that all we mean to you?
We would've gone our separate ways after we graduated.
We wouldn't have been able to stay together forever.
That's not what I was talking about.
I'm asking you how you feel.
You're a nuisance.
Why?
Kyohei!
Go home ahead of us.
I'll go try to talk to him some more.
I'm sorry.
I'm coming in.
People from Nakahara's boarding house came, I heard.
I had them leave.
That was prudent.
When you take over as head of the Oda family...
You won't be able to have a normal life.
You'll be graduating in a year, anyway.
Come back now, and begin your training in earnest.
I understand.
You're being agreeable. I thought you'd put up more resistance.
No, I wouldn't have.
So, you got mad and came home?
He pisses me off.
I don't really mind one way or the other...
...because I can close the boarding house and keep Takeru with me traveling the world.
I want to go to school, though.
If you went to some little school, you'd just end up like him.
Do something! Mama is serious!
I can't do anything. He doesn't want to come back.
It's not what the other person feels...
Before you blame Takenaga...
Did you properly convey your feelings?
After that, he wouldn't come out again.
Takenaga's so cold.
Huh? Is Sunako-chan in her room?
What? She wasn't with you?
I told her to go home ahead of me.
Man, it was a great hot spring.
I'm back.
Now's not the time.
Now's not the time for that.
Huh? What...
Sunako-chan, it's me.
Daz...
Dazzling!
Ow.
I'm sorry!
What's wrong? Why didn't you go home with Kyohei?
U..um...
You need to go home quickly.
If they find you, they'll make you regret it.
Was I... really a nuisance to you?
Ever since I was born, I knew I would have to inherit the school.
My dad is an amazing person as head-of-house...
Whether to inherit the school or not...
I had never given it a thought.
No matter what I did...
This family was more important than my own feelings.
Living with those guys, I'd enjoyed myself more than enough...
So...
It's fine.
Is it really okay?
Excuse me.
Young master...
Is this a new employee?
- Please, stop! - I will instruct you very strictly!
Sunako-chan?
Oh... I'm almost done.
Why are you cleaning so seriously? You need to hurry up and leave, or...
Oh, but...
Wait right there!
Hey!
Sunako-chan!
Whoa, what a huge bath!
We're going home.
- But... - No "buts."
You should leave now.
What are you doing?
You're the residents of the boarding house, right?
Coming into a person's bath house without permission...
...shows that you do not possess even the most basic courtesy.
On top of which, what kind of hairstyle is that?
You're a man, yet you have long, flashy hair. It's slovenly.
The world we live in is different than yours.
Do not meet with my son again.
Even without telling us...
...that's what I was planning.
Are you so scared of your dad, you can't talk?
Th-That's not true.
Man, I'm so dumb.
I was worried about a guy like this?
That's right.
If you understand, leave.
What was that?
I told you that you were a nuisance, didn't I?
Hurry up and go.
Why?
Why can't you be more honest with each other?
Don't you actually want to be together?
If things continue like this...
...the boarding house...
...will truly close.
Close? Isn't that wonderful.
Getting involved with riffraff like this...
...will damage your character.
What are you doing?
By changing just the way I look, like this, are you satisfied?
The way a person looks...
...has nothing to do with anything!
Who cares who your family is!
Her, Yukinojo, Ranmaru...
Even Takeru and Noi...
And you too...
We all live in the same world.
I...
...think of you as my friend.
You all... everyone...
I think of them as my precious friends.
I want to stay friends.
That's how I feel.
Wait.
What're you doing?
This is how I feel.
Come on.
I've never had friends I could fight with like this before.
I was scared.
My father collapsed...
So I came home...
...and then I realized we'd have to part ways someday.
I got scared.
If that's the case, then...
...it'd be better to part now, without seeing you all again.
That's what I thought.
Father.
I will inherit your place as the head of the Oda family. I am resolved to that.
But to do that, I believe that there are many things beside flower arranging that I still have to learn.
I realized that...
...because the other boarding house residents...
...because my friends taught me.
The first friends I've ever had...
These are my important...
...precious friends.
So, please...
...until I graduate...
...please let me continue to live with them.
This is the first time I've heard you say you'd take over the family.
This is the first time I've seen you smile like that, too.
Attend lessons once a month here.
Thank you.
Welcome back, everyone!
We're home!
Well, I suppose I did decide to grace you with my presence.
I'm home.
Oh my, you cut your hair, Kyohei?
It was getting a little annoying.
- It's proof of our friendship! - Be quiet...
- What do you mean, "friendship?" - You know!
Hey, fighting is bad!
Right.
Here you go.
It doesn't feel right unless we're together.
Isn't there one too many places?
Huh? But... well...
- Is it for you? - No, no...
Are you eating with us?
Good evening!
Noi-chan!
Did you ignore me when I said not to come in through there?
When did you two make up?
Well, Takenaga-kun called me.
He said he was sorry.
- I see. - Huh?
So, let's eat.
Itadakimasu.
- Don't try to fool me. - What?
- When'd you call her? - Sunako-chan, it's delicious.
It's fine, it's fine. Let's eat. Itadakimasu.
Isn't that great...
Huh?
Why did I just think that was great?
- Sunako-chan! - I don't know!
Um, this came for you...
- What? - Here.
[Nakahara Sunako-sama] [c/o Nakahara Mine-sama]
[You're invited to a class reunion]
Reunion...
I don't like ugly girls.
I'll go to the reunion...
You just have to do your best.
It's been awhile, Suna-chan!
Nakahara, nice to see you.
It's my turn, huh?
Ladies sometimes revert...
It was your fault...
I have people who understand me...
Apologize!
Horror stuff suits her better than being a lady.
Mama says she wants to be with me.
He's mad that people are judging Sunako-chan based on her appearance.
How long do you intend to play the victim?
You still like him?
Evil spirits begone!
You should cheer up, and go.
You should just be yourself. You're fine the way you are.
