This is what she calls a "casual party"?
I've seen a lot of these guests on TV!
Shizuka has one fabulous mansion.
There's the F4.
Just my luck...
What'll I do? How can I face him?
That's it...!
Oh, this might help
I've never seen them all at once. They're pretty handsome, huh?
Why did you bring that along, Tsukushi?
I'm not afraid of Tsukasa... I'm not afraid of Tsukasa...
The Woman Who Gave Up Everything
Maybe I should lay low before I'm spotted.
Huh...?
Hey Tsukushi... Were you invited too?
Nice outfit - you look like a deep sea angler fish!
Jerk!
Didn't we meet at that sweet shop?
Huh...? You remember that?
Of course! Never forget a pretty face.
That's me.
Huh?
What do you say? After the party...
why don't the two of us...
Sojiro!
Quit macking on my friend!
Don't get hooked by him, Yuki.
He'll chew you up and spit you out!
Yuki! Yuki!
Where's Shizuka, anyhow?
Shizuka?
She's around...
Right, Tsukasa?
I don't know...
What are you angry about?
I'm the one who should be angry!
No! Don't...! Let me go, Tsukasa!
Treating me like that for no reason...
You have no idea how scared I was.
Aren't you the least bit sorry?
Hey!
Hey, Tsukushi!
Take a look!
It's Takuya Muraki and Etsushi Toyota!
They're hotter in person than on TV!
Dang - I should've brought my camera!
Yuki, Yuki...take it easy.
Celebrities are everyday people to socialites like us.
Hey, there's Maki Mochida!
Can I have your autograph? I'm your biggest fan!
What an incredible estate! And these A-list guests...!
Everything's so grand!
Ordinary folks like us could never dream of living a life like this.
I get the feeling we...
...we don't really belong here.
Wanna get something to eat?
Sure!
Whoa! Look at all the food!
I've never seen eats like this before.
Where do we start?
What's that? It looks weird.
I think it's liver...
Yuck! I hate liver. It tastes like dog sh--
Shut up! That's a nasty thing to say!
It's foie gras.
Excuse me...
Yes, sir!
Serve them some of that.
Yes, sir!
Try it.
Thank you.
Tasty! So this is foie gras?
Aren't you having any?
Me? I'm not fond of meat.
I see.
Delicious!
I'm glad.
Would you like anything else?
That's okay. I'll help myself.
All right.
Rui Hanazawa's so nice.
When he's like this, I can hardly breathe.
Maybe it's because it's Shizuka's birthday.
But I can't even enjoy it because I feel so unclean!
So why is it...
that I can't stop looking at HIM!?
Thanks for the flowers the other day.
Sure. That was a good movie.
Wow! Tsukushi, he's talking to Miho Kanda.
Tsukasa!
Long time no see.
Yo!
Whoa! They're models, you know.
You promised you'd call me!
I've been busy. I'll call next time.
You'd better!
Why is he smiling at me!?
Tsukushi...?
Can you really eat all that?
That animal! Everyone's fooled by his looks.
Men...phooey!
Please stop it - please!
Come on... You're so cute. Don't you want to be a star?
Isn't that TV producer awful?
He's always like that after a few drinks.
Kimonos are so sexy!
Please help me!
What's your problem?
You animal! She said she doesn't like what you're doing.
Why don't you leave her alone?
What're you yapping about, skank?
I get it...you want a little attention too.
Come here and I'll give you a squeeze.
Like I'd let you, you pig!
You don't deserve to live!
Tsukushi...that's enough. You'll kill him!
That was great!
Incredible!
Thank you so much.
No problem.
She's so pretty!
You're Tsukushi Makino, right?
How did you know?
Tsukushi!
You're unbelievable!
Hang on a sec!
You and Tsukasa...! What makes you guys so violent?
Don't lump us together!
What's with those two!?
Ladies and gentlemen...
Thank you for coming to my birthday party tonight.
I hope you're all enjoying yourselves.
Happy Birthday, Shizuka!
Happy Birthday!
Now that I'm 20, I've made a few important decisions.
I'd like to announce one of them tonight.
Shizuka...you're especially beautiful tonight.
I, Shizuka Todo, will return to Paris next month.
As for plans to return here...
I have none.
Huh?
Shizuka...what are you saying? You just got home!
Father, Mother - please forgive my selfish behavior.
Think of me as married and gone.
But you're my heir. What'll become of Todo Enterprises?
I want to become a lawyer and help the poor.
What...?
My glamorous wardrobe and long hair...
I don't need them anymore.
I'm giving up the Todo name.
Shizuka's returning to France?
What a scoop! Keep shooting!
"Heiress Renounces Family Fortune!" This'll be huge!
What a bombshell, Shizuka!
Yeah.
She's nothing like those other girls.
I got the chills.
Shizuka... wow...!
Rui Hanazawa...!
I'm leaving. Let the other guys know.
Rui Hanazawa... I wonder how he's doing.
He may never see her again.
I feel awful... I must've eaten too much.
And so much has happened in just one night...
You've grown into a fine young man since last I saw you.
I've known you since you were yea high.
What a coincidence... so you're the Domyoji Group heir.
I am.
Could you talk with your father about his contract with us?
I'm sure he'll listen to his own son.
I don't involve myself in my father's business.
You can't mean it.
Besides, your father's thinking only about his own business.
That's bad for the Japanese economy.
As far as that's concerned...
Let's discuss it once I inherit the business.
That'll be seven...eight years from now.
Of course, that's if you still have a business by then.
Let's get out of here.
Fool.
You found me.
What're you doing - eavesdropping?
Not on purpose!
I'm feeling worse by the minute...
I-I've gotta say something.
What a pain being a corporate heir.
Acting like a bigshot... you make me wanna puke!
I wasn't acting- I am a bigshot.
Moron!
With a big company like ours...
people who can't see my dad try getting through me.
Don't forget all the girls you want.
"I'll call you next time." What a playboy!
Stupid!
Those girls are social climbers.
They just want my money. It's written all over their faces.
I don't interest them half as much as my title.
Do you think I'd give girls like that the time of day?
Don't be ridiculous!
I'm sorry.
Me too...
Sorry for yelling.
And for the other day, too. Apologize for that.
If you do, I'll just write it off as being bitten by a dog.
And I'll forget about it.
A dog? Is that what I am?
It's just an expression. Now hurry up and apologize!
No way! You should apologize to me!
What are you talking about?
Listen... I'm never apologizing.
It's your fault, anyway.
What did I do?
That's why you're a moron.
Uh-oh... I'm feeling really sick...
Look - you should think before you act.
I don't want to be told...
H-hey - what're you doing?
I just told you to think before acting.
Tsukasa... I feel awful. I'm gonna throw up.
What!?
H-hang on a minute!
Hey!
My Elmarni suit...!
Tsukushi! Wake up!
How did I get home...?
Mr. Domyoji brought you home. How did you end up like this?
Tsukasa did? Oh...
Eek!
H-hang on a minute!
Hey!
Oh...what have I done!?
Say, Tsukushi...
Isn't that the girl we met in Atami?
"Bobbed Hair! Shizuka Todo, 20, Renounces the Name of Todo"
It's already in the papers.
Did you read the article about Shizuka?
She's cut her hair and renounced her family inheritance.
I can't believe she'd give up her name like that.
Like her life up to now has been so terrible...?
I didn't think he'd be here.
I...
I'm having terrible thoughts.
If Shizuka goes to France, I could make him mine.
What are you staring at?
Nothing...
Really?
Shizuka sure dropped a bombshell.
Is it all right...?
It's not for me to say. It's Shizuka's decision.
Once she makes up her mind, she's set.
She's been like that since she was little.
She hates losing.
I don't want to be a hothouse flower.
She didn't want special treatment because she was a Todo.
You understand, don't you, Rui?
It was just like her to make this decision.
I've never seen him look so gentle before.
It shows how much he feels for her.
But Shizuka's leaving.
Rui Hanazawa... my heart's desire.
Is it so terrible...
To want to make him mine?
Shizuka's throwing it all away for a new life in France.
Please stay in Japan... for Rui's sake!
Why did you grovel to her? Who asked you to?
Well, you might never see her again.
If you love her, you should go after her.
