You don't have to tell me
From the first moment we met
Glistening with sweat... baby face
You can't suppress that pounding heart
So you hide behind false pride
Breaking the speed limit... DRIVING
You can't even bring yourself to hold my hand
But you act tough and say "Follow me!"
Always in over your head... that's why I love you!
You're still so bland
The way you kiss is also bland
(Floating)
Why don't you take off those worn trousers
And just take the plunge?
Even so, you're still so bland
So this must be true love!
Wake up and see!
Just for you, I'll show you a hot un... deux... trois!
Gently...
Hard day's night game
I'm going to melt...
Bamboo poles... bamboo poles... bamboo poles...
Episode Seven Cutie in a Big Pinch! Revenge of the Super Spicy Hitsumabushi (Part 2) Bamboo poles... bamboo poles... bamboo poles...
Capilus
Get over it, will you? I did it for you, you know!
Because you told me you liked it...
I only did it to make you happy!
If you're there, at least answer me.
I don't want to talk to you.
I'm gonna open the door.
Hey! Don't hold it shut!
Well, don't try to open it without my permission!
Starting today, this is my territory!
What are you, in kindergarten? Don't be so lame!
You don't know how it feels, Jin!
This betrayal... You have no idea how much it hurts!
Never mind. From now on, I'm going to live in here.
I'm never setting foot outside again!
You know that's impossible.
How are you going to eat?
I brought some Tasty-Sticks in with me.
How long do you think that's going to last?
And besides...
What about going to the bathroom and stuff?
I'll manage somehow.
No way! And hey, you better not do it in there!
What's the matter?
All this yelling... You made me drop my Tasty-Stick!
That's supposed to be my fault?
Oh! I stepped on it!
See? There's no way a person can live inside a closet.
Just come on out!
I'm not a person. I'm a goddess.
I'll get through this crisis somehow. You'll see!
Do whatever you want!
I sure will!
I'm going to do my homework now, so you better not bother me! I sure will!
I'm going to do my homework now, so you better not bother me!
I won't!
Moron Jin
Hey, you!
These are omelets...
These are boiled vegetables...
And these are boiled vegetable-stuffed omelets.
Sorry about this. You've been bringing food every week.
Don't worry about it!
What's the matter?
That's why she locked herself in the closet?
Since when?
This morning. She was fuming all last night.
I don't blame her. You're the one at fault, Jin.
Uh... um...
Hello there, Nagi!
Is that you, Tsugumi?
I heard what happened.
I know that Jin did an awful thing to you...
But he's really sorry about it, so why don't you forgive him?
Jin's apologies are nothing but lip service!
To think that he'd go and do something like that
while I was taking a bath...
I agree that he showed a lack of delicacy,
but he really feels badly about it now.
And besides, if you stay inside the closet,
it'll be bad for your eyes.
No need to worry.
I happen to have Oonusa in here with me.
Oh... I see.
It's handy even in the dark... It's "wand"erful!
But it's unhealthy to not get enough air,
and you'll get thirsty in a closed-off space like that, won't you?
I told you not to worry.
I've got Tasty-Sticks as well as Capilus!
Capilus?
Hey, you! You stole my Capilus, didn't you?
I did not!
Why do you even bother with those obvious lies? I did not!
Why do you even bother with those obvious lies?
My bottle of Capilus is gone!
I didn't steal it! I just found it!
What are you, in grade school?!
Jin, calm down.
Tasty-Stick in my right hand and Capilus in my left hand.
That's enough to keep me in battle for another ten years!
Lemon-flavored, huh?
Why is she so mad anyway? I just don't understand it.
Well, girls are sensitive.
I'll go back in there and talk to her alone.
You don't have to. Who cares if she never comes out?
Don't be like that! It's your fault this happened anyway.
And if Nagi never comes out, you can't use your closet, right?
It's not like there's anything in there that...
There, I told you so!
What do you have in there?
Page after page, nothing but gigantic boobs...
Uh, nothing.
Anyway, go wait in the other room, okay?
When Nagi comes out, you're going to apologize. Got that?
Nagi, it's me.
Jin's not with me.
Let's talk woman-to-woman.
You're wasting your time. My will is as rigid as the Imperial jewel.
Hey, I know where you're coming from, but...
If something like that happened to me, I guess I'd be angry too.
After all, we need to be mentally prepared too, right?
We do, don't we?
The thing that makes me angriest
is the fact that Jin took my dignity and trampled all over it!
No, I'm sure he didn't go that far.
If it hadn't been last night...
I might have been able to accept what Jin did.
It might have even made me happy.
But yesterday...
Yesterday was the one day I couldn't bear for him to...
If it had been just a day later...
He was just too cruel!
Jin! It's all your fault!
Huh?!
Making assumptions like that,
and then toying with a girl's pure heart...
You're such a beast!
You men are all wolves!
One more thing, toss this for me.
Listen, you... What did you go in there for?
Well, I don't blame Nagi for getting mad.
To tell you the truth, that's an act of blasphemy.
Well, sure, I know it is, but...
You know, I only did it because I thought it would make her happy.
To do something like that, you've got to have a fail-safe plan.
But hey, this kind of thing has happened to me too.
In a gal game.
Anyway, I'm counting on you.
Gotcha. I'll see what I can do.
I'm going to get ready and head over there, so wait for me.
Thanks. Later!
How'd it go?
He says he'll come over later.
Oh.
It's been a while, hasn't it?
Since we've been alone like this.
Really?
Well, since Nagi came, it's been pretty hectic.
Exploding breasts, huh?
Oh, my...
Hey, that was quick, Akiba... huh?
Really? Is that how big sister is behaving?
I thought the house was unusually quiet today.
So that means...
It's just you and me today, right?
Jin?
Hey! Hey! Can't you see me here?
Oh, my... um...
The omelet girl?
It's Tsugumi!
Oh, I beg your pardon!
Well, then, Jin... Would you like me to help you drag my sister out?
I have a good idea!
It's so hot in here...
Nagi...
What do you want?
About what happened last night...
It looks like I can fix it. So come on out, okay?
As if I'd fall for something like that!
You can try all you want to lure me out with sweet words,
but it's not going to happen!
Grownups are all such liars!
What did I tell you, Jin?
Let's just leave that stubborn sister of mine alone.
Is that you, Zange?
Yes, it is. But since you've turned into a Closet Princess,
what do you care who's out here, anyway?
That's right! I no longer have any interest in the secular world!
You heard her. Jin, let's just forget all about my big sister.
Huh? Oh, but I don't think I can...
From here on, I'll be the one to look after you.
Let's do a lot of fun and embarrassing things together!
What do you mean, embarrassing things?
Oh, but I'm too embarrassed to say!
Hey, what are you going to do?
Hmm? Am I hearing things?
Or could it be a genius loci speaking?
Oh, well! Let's just forget that imaginary voice,
and start doing embarrassing things right now, this minute!
Whoa! Hey, no... Zange-chan!
I know it's just a ploy, but she's going too far!
Aha... You think you're going to pique my interest,
then drag me out when I try to get a look at you.
Like I'd ever fall for that!
Zange-chan? Wasn't this supposed to be an act?
Oh, you shouldn't say that! Big sister will get suspicious!
It's not a matter of her suspecting... This is really... Oh!
Capilus Water It's not a matter of her suspecting... This is really... Oh!
Capilus Water Tap, tap!
Capilus Water
I guess there's no choice.
Capilus Water We'll have to switch to documentary mode at this point...
Capilus Water What are they doing? Listen, get off me!
Capilus Water Listen, get off me!
Capilus Water This is a work of non-fiction,
Capilus Water involving real-life people and organizations.
Capilus Water Some scenes may be too graphic,
Capilus Water viewer discretion is advised! Now, then!
Capilus Water Don't move, Zange-chan! That would be really bad!
Jin, you've got to be more convincing or she won't come out.
I'm telling you to stop, Zange-chan!
Don't ridicule me!
You think you can lure me out by putting on a show,
and pounce on me, saying "Idiot! We got you!"
But you can't deceive me, I'm telling you!
Wait... Jin? Zange?
Oh, Jin... So much came out...
Hey! What are you doing in here?
Jin!
Ohhh... Jin! I don't believe you...
I'm so sorry. I should've toned down my acting a little.
Are you all right, Jin?
Idiots.
Hello? It's Mikuriya...
The person you are trying to reach is not available.
Please leave a message after...
What's taking you so long, Akiba?
If I hadn't rushed in to stop her at that moment...
Zange-chan... What a terrifying girl!
Nothing really happened, all right?
I know that!
We were so close, weren't we, Jin?
What do you mean, so close?
It's a romantic comedy.
Yes, it's a romantic comedy. It's a romantic comedy.
Yes, it's a romantic comedy.
Don't tell me... If we'd gotten here a little earlier...
We could've witnessed a lyrical, erotic event?
It would've been nice to see.
It's because you got lost, Takako.
Well, that couldn't be helped!
I've never come to Mikuriya's house before.
Um... If I recall, you're Nagi's little sister...
I'm Zange-chan!
Whatever! What are you doing here, anyway?
Akiba told us the whole story.
I wanted to return this Kama-Pure game that he lent me,
but he said he had some errand to run for you,
so we decided to meet up here.
Meeting up at my house without telling me...
Kama-Pure? Like at my part-time job the other day?
Right. It's a game that the cosplay originated from.
Wanna see?
Sure.
Hey, they're cute.
Too-Shy-Shy Girl!
Takako, you're such a pervert!
Akiba, you're the lowest of the low.
This room is so you, Mikuriya... Totally ordinary!
The utter lack of any significant features
really brings your artwork to mind, doesn't it?
I never asked your opinion!
Nagi? The president and vice president are here.
Huh? Takako? Why?
We came over to offer moral support!
Thank you for having us!
I see. Thanks for your trouble.
But really, with this many people in here, the room's quite cramped, no?
And it's so hot...
You're free to go home whenever you wish.
What? How catty was that?
Tsugumi, how could you?!
Nagi-sama, I heard what happened last night.
But you're not the kind of person
who should live out her life in a dark, cramped closet.
No, your job is to comfort your fans
with your beauty and cheerfulness!
To your fans, you're their beacon of hope!
You've come this far, now come out of there!
Let me see how you dress at home!
You gave yourself up at the end, Takako.
All right, Nagi-sama... Come on!
No.
It didn't work! No.
It didn't work!
Don't give up so easily!
Oh well, this in itself is pretty juicy.
What a great story for the web site.
Tell me, what's the real reason you came here?
Jin!
Oh, my...
It's too early to give up! Oh, my...
It's too early to give up!
You've got to leave the house, or you'll never grow any taller!
Huh?
What are you doing here, Daitetsu?
Well, actually, I'm the one who told him to come,
but it looks like he misunderstood.
Don't let it get you down!
It doesn't matter whether you're good or bad as an artist.
The only thing that matters is passion!
Uh, look...
Huh?
What's going on here...
Akiba... When are you gonna show up?
It's really stifling in here now, isn't it?
One gets so thirsty in such heat.
Nagi-sama, are you all right in there?
I'm all set.
Hey! I knew it!
It's actually pretty pleasant in here!
Maybe I'll turn it into my new sanctuary.
So you decided to show up, huh? You cursed impurity!
Stay away! I'll exorcise you, you little...
Nagi!
Ouch!
Nagi?
Ugh! Eew! A cockroach! Stay away!
Hey, Mikuriya! Catch that thing right now!
That's easy for you to say!
Don't look! Get away from me!
My, my...
There it is!
Daitetsu! Hang in there!
Akiba, hurry up...
Akiba!
Akiba...
Akiba!
Mikuriya!
Akiba!
Mikuriya!
Tell me, why is there an all-star cast assembled here?
I'll explain everything later.
Hey, Akiba, here's your game back.
Huh? Oh, right.
Akiba, come on, did you bring it?
Oh, yeah.
Jin... Oh, yeah.
Jin...
Just what is going on here? What happened?
You see...
Last night, that show was on... Exciting Cats Galore Land?
Right... They were really cute, huh?
Nagi likes that kind of show, too.
But she was taking a bath, so I taped it for her.
But it turned out that Nagi had already used that tape,
for Something Cutie...
Lolikko Cutie! For Something Cutie...
Lolikko Cutie!
That's what was on that tape...
And I taped over it by mistake.
And she threw a fit, saying she hadn't watched it yet.
So that's why Nagi locked herself in the closet?
Hey, it's no wonder.
Since last night was the climax of the Fake Cutie arc.
You mean you watch that show too?
Only briefly!
Some of the episodes have brilliant artwork and direction!
Huh...
What's that? It happens to be the focal point of today's incident,
so what's with the bored-as-hell reaction?
Nagi...
Akiba just brought over Lolikko Cutie.
For real?
You better believe it!
Personally, since last night's Cutie episode
was by one of my favorite animation supervisors,
meaning he attracted top-notch key animators,
any fan worth his salt would've made sure he...
Uh, you can skip the commentary for now. Any fan worth his salt would've made sure he...
Uh, you can skip the commentary for now.
Just see for yourself.
Akiba?
Sure. Akiba?
Sure.
Hey, what's this?
A DVD?
Nope, it's a Blu-Ray disc!
It's a Sony!
Are you serious? But we don't even have a DVD player!
After all, the ultimate in animation deserves the ultimate in resolution.
But hey, don't worry, Mikuriya.
I had a feeling that might be the case, so...
I brought a video too!
Why didn't you give me that in the first place?
Nagi? Check it out. It's a video.
I'm going to leave it here, so take a look.
Jin, what is this?
But this is a video, right?
Yeah, it's a video. A Beta.
Beta?
What's that?
It's a Sony.
Hey, everyone left.
I've been thinking about it, you know...
When I was a kid, my dad always wanted to watch baseball,
so there were lots of times that I didn't get to watch what I wanted.
I guess... To my father, it wasn't such a big deal,
but it made me feel pretty bitter.
And I think I might've done the same thing to you, Nagi.
But see...
I really thought it would make you happy!
That if someone did that for me, I'd be happy, too...
That's what I thought.
Though I did mess up.
I was wrong! So come on out.
You must be hungry, right? Let's have dinner together.
Like we always do.
Sorry!
Fine!
Apology accepted! I'm willing to forgive and forget!
Why, you... Don't ever come out of that closet again!
Mr. President!
Somebody, call a doctor, quick!
Why, you... You're a disgrace to the Lolikko name!
I do like boobs, but...
How about you? How long are you going to keep that sick figure?
All... All over the world, the hitsumabushi are disappearing!
I'm late, I'm late!
I have two lives...
Hair is everything!
I'm sorry! I'm really, really sorry!
Illusion!
I'll show you!
Konnyaku Kick!
I'm really sorry.
Actually, I have three lives.
What's going on?
The curse has been lifted, I think.
Nice to meet you, Senpai!
Likewise!
Was this supposed to be the ultimate episode?
Episode Eight Straying Wuthering Heights
Don't tape over the next episode of Kannagi!
