I'll get married!
Is the proposal over?
Shin!
Shin...
He ran away!
So that's what happens.
A journey?
What?
Oh, are you okay?
Yeah. I calmed down a little once I changed.
I'm sorry, um...
I kind of talked a little with the boss about marriage a bit ago.
And when I did, he said he'd already decided...
...where he would propose and what he would say.
I'm sorry. When I was talking to him,
I told him just how hard marriage is for a guy...
That may be why...
No.
It's because I forced it on him.
I'm sorry.
I'll be leaving.
Where are you going?
To turn down the job.
The job? You mean...
Yeah, I'm going to have to turn down the book, right?
I'll go bow and apologize.
Wait! He may come back!
I can't keep this project going for a "maybe."
It's better than things going bad at the last minute.
And it'll make it easier for them, too.
Right? Okay, bye.
If there's anything I can do...
No, that's all right.
Did you call Shin-sama?
No, he wouldn't pick up if I did!
You know? He left on a journey.
So how do I look? Am I dressed right to apologize?
I think it's fine.
Okay.
Bye.
Right.
Good luck!
Right, right.
Aww...
I was looking forward to that wedding.
Yeah.
What is Shin-sama doing?
I don't know.
Shizuka-san's amazing, though.
She's kind of cool.
She's not crying or freaking out.
I couldn't do that.
If it were me,
I'd be going "What do I do? Why? Why?"
"What was wrong with me?"
I'd be crying.
I'd be calling him all the time.
I think that's...
...what she's feeling like inside.
But...
...she's trying to hold it back as best she can, maybe.
Like she may not be calling...
...because she's worried he won't pick up,
or that he'll break up with her.
That's what I think.
But...
At this rate, she's going to break.
I'll call him.
It's not ringing.
Did he turn it off?
What is it?
No.
No, no, no.
No. No.
Huh?
Huh? Huh? Huh?
Hello, this is Haruta.
Is the boss at the store?
No.
No, I see.
It's nothing important.
If he does...
I'm so sorry.
Yes. I'm on my way to apologize.
H-Hello? Hello?
Shin...
I'm sorry...
Crazy For Me
Final Episode
What? Shin-sama did?
Yeah.
Which means it's over?
You don't have a chance, okay?
I know that.
And lately I haven't been thinking about him much.
What? Didn't you like him?
Hmm... Not so much since I've been busy with shougi.
And I don't like guys who are like,
"I'm going to leave on a journey."
The kind who compare life to a journey?
Shin-sama likes Bon Jovi that way.
Where is he and what's he doing?
It's Shizuka-san who's the most worried.
And it looks like Haruta's not sleeping, either.
I can't believe you're worrying about someone else.
You've changed.
Have I?
But Haruta's really, seriously worried about Shizuka-san.
I was so impressed.
It's not because they used to be married?
They were, but it's more than that...
It's kind of nice the way he's trying his best for somebody else,
and is worried about them.
It's like, "You're so cool, Haruta!"
It makes me a little excited...
Is that it?
Is what it?
Eri-chan!
Yes?
Let's play a game.
Sure thing.
Is that it?
That's it, huh?
Hello?
Did it go okay?
Thanks.
I've spent the whole morning apologizing.
I feel like a Chinese grasshopper.
I haven't heard anything from Shin.
Yeah.
He'll come back eventually.
And then I'll have to apologize.
I see...
If you learn anything, would you give me a call?
Maybe I'll go on a journey, too?
Here.
Cheer up!
Whose fault do you think this is?
Everything in life teaches you something.
But what if the boss never comes back?
That'd be really bad for me.
I've found the path I should follow in life,
so I think it'll work out.
But you two...
Kayako-san, you're, you know...
I know what?
Oh, I see.
That means the person who's the most pitiable right now is...
Why not go after her?
Nothing happened with me!
What?
So don't you think it's Shizuka-san that things are hardest for right now?
Yes, well...
So tell her, okay?
I'll be waiting to advise her.
No, Fumi-san...
Huh?
Should I go right now?
No.
She's fine.
I'll take care of her.
You will?
I'm sure from your perspective,
a loser like me isn't going to be much help.
Yes, that's what I think.
Yes.
But...
It'll be okay.
You're...
...okay now, Haruta-san.
You don't need me anymore, do you?
I'm back, Haruta.
For dinner I got?
Welcome back.
Did you get something for dinner, too?
We were thinking the same thing.
Then let's add that to the meal.
Let's all eat together today.
I talked to Shizuka-san, too.
I see.
Yeah.
I'm back.
Welcome back!
So what, Fumi-chan's next target is me?
Looks like it.
I see. So that's the kind of person I am.
What does that mean?
I went around to all the different offices today,
and everybody was actually trying to cheer me up.
I see.
This is good stew.
Isn't it?
It's konjac from Shimonita.
I knew it.
Yeah.
The texture... I love it.
I know.
I'm so glad.
What?
I'm back.
What are you doing, boss?!
What do you mean "I'm back"?
You vanished, leaving only that letter...
What the hell are you thinking?!
Sorry.
I couldn't say where I was going.
What do you mean you couldn't say?!
I don't know what were you doing,
but do you realize how much Shizuka-san was worried?!
I mean, of course she was?
I'm so glad you're safe!
Yeah.
I thought I'd never see you again.
Of course you would!
Shin...
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
No, it's too late.
It may be too late, but I really understand now.
I love you.
I missed you.
Shizuka...
It's a bit late, but...
Here.
Please...
...marry me.
This is?
Boss?
No way... Is that dirt?
Yeah.
I dug this stone up myself.
Seriously?
I'd decided a long time ago that this is how I'd propose.
It was a sudden marriage, so I couldn't do it at all,
but I at least wanted to do this one thing.
To give you a ring with a stone I found myself.
Then you...
...found this?
Yeah.
Amazing, huh?
You didn't decide you didn't want to get married?
Huh?
If I didn't want to get married, I wouldn't give you a ring, would I?
You were trying so hard to make your dream come true,
so I thought I'd be like you and try hard, too.
For a present for someone you care about,
it's better to give something you worked hard to get, right?
Here.
Thank you.
I'm so glad...
What's wrong?
But...
Oh, jeez...
Come on.
Really?
You turned down the job?
Yup.
Sorry.
Are you mad?
Nope.
I think I'm going to be mad and stuff later,
but not now.
I'm fine for now...
I see.
She's scary, isn't she, Haruta-kun?
She is.
Hang in there.
I will.
But, Shizuka...
Let's get married tomorrow as planned, okay?
And have a ceremony, too.
We've both decided that.
Tomorrow?
I already carved our anniversary into the ring.
You're right!
Well, Shizuka?
Let's do that.
Let's do it...
Let's do it.
You're having your wedding...
...tomorrow?
I've got a feeling that if I miss this, I won't be able to get married.
Right?
Let's do it!
Yeah!
Yeah! Yay!
Hurry! Hurry!
Okay! Okay!
Ow!
What are you doing?
Where are we going?
Hurry!
Just hurry!
Fumi-san, wait!
You need more exercise.
Okay, everyone, quiet down. Quiet down.
Thank you for coming.
I know I've brought you here suddenly, but...
I have something to say.
Ootake Shin, and I, Kamoda Shizuka,
are having...
...a wedding tomorrow!
A wedding...
Congratulations!
A happy ending?
You can give us your congratulations tomorrow.
You, the pretty boy loser.
Me?
You, Ryou.
I want you to clean out the front of the storeroom.
Okay.
And the selfish old lady.
You can look around but you're the only one here.
Can you go buy the fabric?
Okay.
Um, student council vice-president.
You mean me?
That sounds pretty mean.
I mean, I always was, so it's okay.
You sure were.
Well excuse me.
It was my job to support the student council president?
You help out the pretty boy loser.
Thank you!
Right, right.
Next. Monchhichi.
That's so old.
Please polish this, Monchhichi.
Okay, teamwork, teamwork!
Come on, come on.
Thanks, guys!
Thank you for doing all this for me, everybody!
I meant for us!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
We know who's wearing the pants in your relationship, boss.
Let's do our best to clean up!
It's so nice to have some drama...
Maybe I'll skip out.
Welcome.
I'll have a medium glass of beer.
Right.
Shiragami-kun?
Kayacchi?
Huh? What do you mean?
So you see, nothing happened between me and Kayako-san.
I got drunk and fell asleep, is all.
I guess Kayako-san tricked me.
Isn't that sad?
The fact that got drunk and passed out naked makes you scum.
I knew it...
Isn't Kayako-san late?
Let's do this together.
Why?
Huh? Haruta?
Yes.
You're asking what part of Haruta I fell in love with?
Yes.
Not Shin?
Yes.
Listen...
I'm actually marrying Shin tomorrow.
And you're asking me as a bride, right?
Oh, I see.
But who cares?
Congratulations on your marriage, is all I'll say.
And since I've seen you two together for so long,
I know basically all I need to.
Right.
Haruta, you see...
...is a really hard worker.
A hard worker?
When I met him, it was like he was doing everything he could for me.
But at heart, he's a bit of a coward,
so that makes him try even harder.
That's what I thought was wonderful about him.
Isn't it nice when a man's really working hard?
Yeah.
And then he worked too hard at his job, and broke.
But that wasn't only Haruta's fault.
I think there might've been a problem with the company.
But he kept working without complaining.
He really worked so hard.
For his company. For his team.
He was practically doing everybody else's job for them.
And for his family?
I mean, for me.
And then he worked too hard, and broke.
I see...
When that happened,
I was too busy with my own problems.
I couldn't do anything for him.
Take care of Haruta for me, okay?
Ever since he broke, it's like he's trying to punish himself, right?
So free him from that, okay?
It kind of bugs me a little,
but he seems like he's having more fun with you now.
Boss.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
And... thank you.
Why?
I don't know...
I just felt like saying thank you.
I don't understand,
but you're welcome!
Maybe I just feel that way because it's the night before a wedding.
I see.
You're not going to marry Miyako-chan, Haruta-kun?
You like her, right?
Just marry her.
You're as incredibly straightforward as ever, aren't you?
It's not like that...
It's not that simple, I guess.
Why?
"Why?"
I mean, I like her. Miyako-chan, that is.
And Miyako-chan... I don't think she dislikes me.
But not as a man...
It's more like... as a comrade?
It's more like that, I think.
Do you understand?
Nope.
Didn't think so.
So if she liked you as a man, would it be okay?
Would it be okay?
It'd be nice if that happened, but...
But she said it would never happen.
And this is what I think...
Even if we were in love,
it would be the beginning of the end.
Haruta-kun, that's wrong.
Once you're both in love,
that's the beginning of a happy life.
That's another thing I'm jealous you can say.
I'm giving you advice now, aren't I? On love.
Yes...
Yes, you are.
Wow. I'm growing, aren't I?
Growing fast!
Yes!
Growing straight up like a bamboo shoot!
Yeah.
That was sarcasm, wasn't it?
Definitely.
I could tell.
Wow!
Dinner's ready!
I'll get the people outside!
Thanks.
Okay, put it here.
Here.
Okay.
What were you talking about?
On your last night as two single men living together.
About you.
Me? Why?
We were saying that if you fell in love with Haruta-kun, he'd be happy.
Instead of saying that he should just go after you, right?
I'll go wash my hands.
Right...
Here you go.
That looks good.
Miyako-chan, I'll get you something.
What do you like?
You still don't even know that?
Huh?
Go ahead.
I'm going to think a little more.
Don't think.
If you're a man, just do it.
Um, Miyako-chan...
I don't care.
I'm taking the salmon!
I wanted that!
See? Look!
Ow!
Why?
Thanks!
See you tomorrow!
See you tomorrow.
What happened to Kayako-san?
I'm sure she skipped out and went to get drunk.
What's with her?
Right?
It must've been really hard.
Going to dig it up, yeah.
It's cool, but it's kind of weird, isn't it?
That's what I like about him.
I see.
Shall we leave him like this?
Yeah.
Roger.
Good night!
Thanks, you two.
Good night.
Tired, huh?
Yeah.
Tomorrow'll be fun, won't it?
Yeah.
Huh?
Miyako-chan, um...
Your legs are weird.
You should stop that.
Ow!
Ow...
What?
Why's this here?
You can't sleep?
Yeah.
I'm the bride, after all.
It's going to be nice weather tomorrow, huh?
You're right.
I got it...
Hooray...
I'm amazing...
I'm so amazing...
I finally found it...
You can't sleep, either?
Yeah, for some reason.
Is it maybe that you feel like the father of the bride?
Huh?
Well, I'm going from you to Shin, right?
That's not right.
Walk me down the aisle tomorrow the way my dad normally would tomorrow, okay?
I really don't know about that...
I'm your ex-husband!
It's fine. I'm not changing the plan tomorrow.
Okay.
You going to cry?
You're going to cry, right, Haruta?
No, I'm not going to cry.
I know.
You're taking the place of my dad, so let's do it.
What's "it"?
Father...
I'm not your father.
Thank you for...
...everything you've done for me.
What is that?
I don't understand!
And that's not right!
Did you cry?
You cried! You cried! Haruta cried!
Jeez...
You cried! You cried! Haruta cried!
I knew it!
Marriage, huh?
I'm getting married, huh?
You are, huh?
You know...
This may be a weird way to put it, but...
What?
Um...
I was just thinking that we really broke up, didn't we?
I was just thinking that, too.
I see.
I broke up...
...with you, Haruta.
You know...
I never saw this coming, did you?
Yeah.
But I'm happy.
Why?
I hurt my wife and couldn't make her happy.
Normally that would be the end.
I'd never see you again.
And I'd have no idea what you were doing right now.
I'd wonder if you were happy or miserable.
And then I'd just imagine bad things.
But now, I can see that you're living happily.
I can watch over you.
To a broken person,
this is a big blessing.
I see.
So...
Be happy.
You, too.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll try my best to sleep.
I've got to think about my makeup, too.
I need to sleep.
Good night.
Congratulations.
What do you think about this hat, boss?
Hat?
Aren't the sleeves too long on that, Haruta-kun?
The pants are long, too.
That has to be hot.
It was so sudden this was all I could get ready.
Ryou-kun,
you play the music here and here.
Okay, got it.
Monchhichi, ready to take the photos?
Yes.
Make sure you charge it.
The spare battery, too.
Good morning.
Kayako-san!
Sorry!
There was a little bit of drama last night...
As an apology, I brought the perfect person to act as a witness.
By the way, he's my ex-boyfriend.
And starting last night,
he's my new boyfriend.
Come in!
What's wrong, Shirakami-kun?
Okay, are you ready everyone?
Dr. Shirakami!
Over there.
Okay, there.
Boss! Boss!
Wrong side! Over here!
Over here?
Yes.
Right there.
The music...
Where's the CD?
Um, Fumi-san!
Yes?
I've got something to tell you before I talk myself out of it.
What is it?
Fumi-san, I've always loved you!
Huh?
Yes.
Ever since I met you.
No way.
Me? Always?
You didn't notice?
Sorry...
That's...
...pitiable.
What? That works?
Do you have somebody you like right now?
No.
Car #7. Takashi. Take care of him for me.
Hey.
You. Come with me.
Okay, everybody, line up!
Hurry! Hurry!
Okay, the bride and groom are here!
Look at the back of the hall!
Music!
Roger.
One, two...
Haruta, you can do it!
Yeah.
You can do it!
Thank you.
Thank you for bringing Shizuka, Haruta-kun.
Please take care of her.
Thank you.
All right, please put on the ring.
Ootake Shin.
Shizuka!
We're married!
Yay! Yay!
Thanks.
Oh, thank you.
Everyone, ready?
Congratulations on your marriage!
Cheers!
Thank you!
Okay, everybody turn to look at the bride.
I'll explain the meal to everybody.
First is a pincho bean galette with koshihikari rice.
Pincho?!
What the hell is a pincho?!
Haruta-kun!
Haruta, seriously?
Did somebody give him alcohol?
It wasn't me.
Then who?
I've got something to say to you all! So listen!
Not today, Haruta.
What, are you going to wreck this, Haruta?
Shut up!
Shut up and listen to me!
He's scared.
Hey, you two.
Listen.
Congratulations, you bastard!
Is this good alcohol?
I'm... I'm happy!
I'm wishing you the best from the bottom of my heart!
You got it?!
I see.
Okay, I get it.
I know.
You want me to dance, right?
Watch!
This is my style.
My style of wedding dance!
What the hell is that?
Okay, that's done.
All done.
That's all for today.
So your celebration's over.
I'm done.
You.
There's something I want to say to you.
So listen well, damn it!
Don't make me repeat myself.
I'm only saying this once!
So listen well!
Thanks for today.
Everybody...
I love you all.
Thank you for everything!
Why are you talking like that?
Is he supposed to be a concert MC?
Listen, guys!
Everybody here is crazy in some way.
We're all a bunch of weirdos.
You, and you, and you, and you.
Yeah, and you, too! Yeah.
And me, too, of course.
And I love you all!
I love you!
I'm fine. I'm fine!
I got fired,
and I got divorced,
and I thought my life was over!
All done!
He took me in!
Right?
When I came here, my life was over,
so I just wanted to be left alone.
I wanted to live a quiet life, not involved with anybody. Right?
But you got me caught up in all your damn problems, one after another!
You wouldn't leave me alone!
Not for a minute!
I was seriously like, "Give me a break!"
Just leave me alone. Please.
That was that.
But really, I was happy.
I mean, of course, right?
If I was worrying about something, that meant I was alive.
And that I wanted to stay alive.
Because...
Because when you really stop feeling anything,
that's when your heart's really dead.
So, in other words...
When I thought my life was over,
you were the ones who got my clock moving again.
You were the ones who forced my broken heart to start working again.
Thank you.
Thank you for being so annoying.
Thank you for causing me so many problems.
Thank you for making me mad.
Thank you for making me cry.
Thank you for making me so excited.
Th-Thank you.
Because of you, I now feel like I'm alive.
Is this supposed to be a graduation ceremony?
It's because you were all crazy! Thank you!
So let's keep on living together, crazy people!
Yeah!
So let's keep on living together, crazy people!
Yeah!
So let's keep on living together, crazy people!
Yeah!
So let's keep on living together, crazy people!
Yeah!
Thank you!
And there's somebody I want to introduce you all to while I'm here.
Miyako!
Miyako.
Miyako-chan.
Huh?
This girl...
...is...
...the person I love most in the world.
Hayama Miyako! Yeah!
The champion!
Miyako...
Would you...
Would you, um...
Would you...
Would you, um...
Got it.
Huh?
Did I just...
Miyako-chan...
Miyako-chan, just now?
Haruta.
Haruta!
Haruta-kun!
Are you okay? Are you okay?
Haruta-kun!
I'm so glad I'm alive.
Are you okay?
Are you all right?
Excuse me! Can someone from security come over here?
Are you okay?
You want to live together with the four of us?
That's a good idea.
I'm sure there'll be a different kind of drama there.
Oh, my daughter, too!
That's great!
Her name's Madoka, and she's super cute, like me!
Fumi-san's personality is a lot stronger than I thought...
I didn't think this would be such a pain.
Maybe I would've been better off with Kayako-san.
No, no, that's not what I meant.
Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
Wait, no, that may work.
No, no!
Here you go.
Wow!
Today it's chili con carne with free-range chicken from Tanba,
with runner beans, black beans, chick peas, and plenty of polyphenols!
And nachos, fajitas, and tortillas rubbed with shinshuu miso and lightly fried in coconut oil!
And lastly, Shizuka's own beautiful Texas burgers!
It's a celebration today!
Get this. Namino Shiori did the book I turned down.
But it's not selling at all.
Maybe they found out she's got no fashion sense.
And when I told them I'd gotten married,
they asked if I wanted to put out a book about...
...how to make meals look gorgeous without doing any work!
Seriously? Wow!
That's what she gets!
Now come on and get me!
Okay, here I come!
Come on! Come on!
Where did you find something like this?
How rude!
It's cute, isn't it?
I can't fix something this big at the store.
Jeez!
It's okay. It's okay.
It'll get fixed.
If it breaks, you can just fix it again.
Haruta, are you okay?
Did you break?
I'm still okay!
You're so weak!
Get back to work, grandpa!
Come on, grandpa!
What are you saying?
I'm brave when it counts!
You're a boneless chicken!
I'm bone-in chicken!
Liar.
You can't say what you want to say without drinking,
and you don't even remember what you said.
I remember!
I remember what I said, and I can say what I want to say!
M-Miyako-chan...
I called you the champion.
What the hell was "the champion" supposed to mean, anyway?
The End
This drama is a work of fiction.
So I did say it...
