The mystery meat lunch set?
Can't you eat a lunch with some class?
Leave me alone. This food is the most filling.
Break a chopstick, and you'll cause a disaster.
Grandma always says so!
That's just superstition.
I'd be careful if I were you.
Grandma is never wrong!
That jerk, Sakamoto. He always says the dumbest things.
You okay down there?
Oh, Godai. It's only you.
It just slipped out of my hands. Sorry 'bout that.
''Sorry.'' Yeah, sure she is.
Geez.
A hundred yen!
It's mine!
Break a chopstick, and you'll cause a disaster.
Grandma always says so.
I-It couldn't be!
That's the spirit!
Ms. Otonashi!
Are you okay, Ms. Otonashi!?
I-I'm fine--
Oww!
Let me have a look.
Does this hurt?
Yeah, a little.
It's a sprain. Forgive me.
That volley was too advanced.
Not at all. I'm just not skilled enough--
It's my fault.
Oh, it really isn't that serious--
I'll take you to the hospital.
P-Please put me down. You're overreacting.
No!
Ain't you the bold one?
Sweepin' her away in front of everybody.
Don't make weird assumptions. It's a coach's duty.
Then if I got hurt, you'd carry me, too?
Don't strain yourself to answer.
I'm so sorry to make you go to all this work for me.
A friend in need--
Just get better, okay?
Thank you.
Ms. Otonashi? Have you finished dressing?
Yes! Come in.
Still out of bed? Let me help you back in--
No, I'm fine. I'm really--
Don't overexerrt yourself.
Why's he goin' the long way 'round?
Ask him for yourself.
Really? I didn't realize.
Careful not to slide into bed with her.
H-How you jest.
What'd happen if he slid into bed?
Ask him for yourself.
M-Mrs. Ichinose, you cad.
Manager, you're hurt?
It's nothing.
How'd it happen?
It happened while we were playing tennis.
Well, you're makin' up for it; helpin' out.
Because it's my fault.
Why don't you sleep here tonight?
Excuse me. I'm talking to Ms. Otonashi.
Ms. Otonashi, until you're completely healed--
Why don't you sleep here tonight?
Ms. Otonashi, I'll take full responsibility--
Come up and play.
Responsibility for your grievous--
Come, now--
Take care of me!
And me, as well.
Me, too!
Keep it down.
Don't mind them. Just lie back.
Okay.
You're hurt. You gotta have peace and quiet.
Thank you.
Never mind the background noise, just get some sleep.
I will.
Let's party!
That's Mitaka's car!
What is that jerk doing here so late?
What's wrong? You're not looking good.
Do you have a stomach ache?
This party's swinging!
Manager, have one on me.
Thanks. But I--
Come in--
Welcome home.
M-Manager!
Wh-What's wrong!? Are you sick!?
No, no! I only--
Voila.
Mr. Yotsuya!
What are you doing?
Y-Your leg!
It's my fault!
I'm so sorry.
If only I hadn't broken that chopstick at lunch--
But, my sprain...
...is my fault.
My volley was impossible to return. She hurt her leg trying.
No, I just wasn't careful enough--
No! It's my fault!
No, I said it's my fault!
E-Excuse me.
Who cares whose fault it is?
Time to break up this cheer-up-the-manager party.
Goodness look at the time.
Kyoko, get well soon.
Thank you.
Umm--
Manager, I--
What'cha doing? The party's over.
Let go. I need to talk to the manager!
We'll relay anything you want to say.
But-- Manager!
Believe me. Her ankle is all my fault!
You're not makin' any sense.
And since I'm the reason she--
What am I gonna do!?
I know! I'll nurse her back to health!
No way we're letting you traipse around in the manager's room!
Don't get any ideas.
You're wrong! Let go!
Yotsuya!
Where are you going with that pillow?
To apply some TLC--
C'mon, kid! Chug it down.
But I'm--
It don't matter. Drink up!
Manag--
Ma--
I'm off! Bye, Soichiro.
I still can't stand on it.
Yes?
Manager? You awake?
Y-Yes-- Come in.
Good morning.
You're up early.
Yeah... You know.
You're looking pale. Didn't you sleep last night?
I was so worried about you--
If there's anything I can do--
Oh, no. I'm fine!
But your injury was all because of me.
But--
It's all my fault!
Please allow me to care for you!
But don't you have classes?
I'll cut 'em! It's just school!
Don't say that! Show more commitment!
I'm committed to YOU!
What'cha doing? Bothering a lady while she's in bed--
Godai was worried about me.
I guess you don't have courage enough to slide into bed with her.
W-What does that mean?
Here's what we had to spare.
Thank you.
You really don't have much to spare.
She'll never get better on that.
Just get yourself off to school.
B-But--
Leave the manager to me.
She's not going to get better any faster with you here.
B-But--
Yo! Godai!
Let's get some lunch!
I'll pass!
What's he in such a hurry for?
Hello? Is this Maison Ikkoku?
Affirmative.
Oh, Yotsuya. How is the manager feeling?
She is curt, but Fine. Goodbye--
Wait a second. What about lunch?
Licked the plate clean.
What'd they Fix?
2 rice balls: bonito and pickled plum, and 3 pickled radish slices.
That's all?
You don't approve?
I-It's okay. Thanks.
Leftovers for breakfast and 2 rice balls for lunch!--
I gotta do something.
Okay.
The basis of ''white stew'' is its light seasonings.
The secret is to avoid pan frying in oil; instead, douse with wine.
And simmer thoroughly over a low flame.
You're an expert!
Good. Cooking is an art!
It requires sensitivity and great creativity.
I never knew you were such a talented cook.
Then you've begun to understand the kind of man I am.
It's done.
It looks delicious!
Then please try some.
I will!
Be my guest.
How is it?
It's wonderful!
It's so good.
You're an excellent cook!
I enjoy it.
I suppose it isn't very masculine.
Oh, no! That's not true at all!
But, all this trouble--
Don't let it bother you.
Just to be of some service makes me the happiest of men.
Every word outta his mouth is over dramatic hogwash.
--His parents are at fault. --Who cares? He's gorgeous!
Maybe I'll sprain my ankle, too.
Go ahead. You'll starve to death.
189.
51.
238.
36.
That'll be 623 yen.
That much!?
623 yen please.
I'm 18 short.
--Can--? --623 yen please.
Okay.
Put this back.
Geez!
I can't do anything classy for her on my budget.
If only I could buy her roses...
They're beautiful. Godai, thank you!
They're such a comfort!
Then I'm glad I went into debt for them.
Is that how much you love me?
Manager!
''Add two cups of water to the soup base--''
Water! Water!
That was close--
I can't breathe.
But Coach Mitaka's cooking was so good I had to eat everything.
Manager, how ya feelin'?
Fine.
Guess what?
It'll cheer you up. Dig in.
It is but a trifle yet from the heart.
Please, while they're hot--
They're terrible when they're cold.
Okay--
I, uh--
--They're good... --...aren't they?
They're great! But there's so much--
You mustn't hold back. Eat it all.
We bought it just for you!
O-Oh, I'll eat it, all right.
M-Manager, it's ready!
That does it. I've eaten more than I can take.
I feel awful.
Manager? Can I come in?
Godai? Come in.
I-It couldn't be--
I-I thought that you might be hungry. It's the best I can do.
I--
I can't refuse a face like that.
Of course I'll have some.
My, what a pretty cosmos flower--
It was blooming in the garden. Instead of roses.
It's getting cold.
I just love a cosmos in bloom.
And soggy.
O-Oh, yeah.
H-Here I go.
Is it good?
Y-Yes, very!
S-She ate everything!
Manager!
S-She ate an entire bowl of awful ramen!
What a sweet woman!
Sweet buns AND fried octopus?
Yup, and she put it all away!
You fed her ramen?
And Coach Mitaka cooked for her, before that.
She could've said something.
On top of all of that, she ate a mountain of my rotten ramen.
And she smiled at me.
The mark of true greatness.
Oh, no!
Enough of this. I'm sick of being treated like a sick person.
Manager!
--I'm coming in-- --Wait!
You--You creep!
What's going on!?
--What's the commotion? --It's nothing!
Hey! Manager! You okay!?
It's nothing!
What happened--?
Don't look!
Whazza matter?
It was really nothing.
Takin' advantage of an invalid! You oughta be ashamed--
It's a misunderstanding!
I'd say we're understandin' it perfectly!
You're wrong!
You should slap him upside the head 2 or 3 times.
I was taking a sponge bath, and--
Well, that's dull.
I said it was a mistake.
I wonder...
I'm sorry I didn't wait--
Whatever; just close the door!
I'm so sorry!
Honestly!
''Upset stomach''? So that's it.
Huh? The coach is here again?
I'm home, Soichiro!
Here! Some leftover bread from lunch.
You'll eat anythin', won'tcha?
What? You overate!?
My stomach--
What a shame. I was going to fix my specialty: shrimp au gratin.
I'm sorry.
Yes?
Sorry about this morning--
Roses!
What made that bump on your head?
It's nothing.
ls that from the wash-pail?
A little bump like this is nothing.
I'm sorry. And I threw it as hard as I could.
It's okay. I had it coming.
But--
I told you not to worry.
Then you're okay?
I'm just fine.
Mind if I cook? It'd be a shame to waste food.
But--
Try it, Godai.
You don't know how good Coach Mitaka's cooking is.
I-- I see.
So, Godai, what happened to your head?
I can't say. It's a secret between the manager and me.
Honestly, Godai--
Godai, would you mind opening a can?
Sure, my pleasure.
So, what happened!?
It's open.
--Well!? --It's a secret.
I was asking you to set out the plates.
Well, why didn't you say so?
Plates, plates...
Well, here it is.
Be my guest.
Thank you.
Yeah, thanks.
It won't be anything spec--
How is it?
--Good. --Huh? What's that?
It's very good.
Think so? That's great!
It really is delicious.
Whoever marries you is going to be one happy woman.
You know, I was just thinking that very thing!
If someone would marry me, she'd be one happy woman!
But I--
Don't you think so, Godai?
W-Who knows?
I was just speaking hypothetically!
Just hypothetically--
I--
The two of you-- couldn't be--
Honestly!
They say that happiness is marrying your first love.
You can live your whole life with that person, and never be parted.

Soichiro isn't around to invite me under his umbrella, anymore.
