So hungry...
Today is her day off.
Mineko is writing letters.
Ah...
Feels so good!
Okay!
She's collected quite a few things in her room, hasn't she?
But they were all gifts.
This dining table was from Takako-san...
...while this mirror stand was from Suzuko-san.
Mineko's current monthly salary is 10,000 yen.
Salary: 10,000 yen w/2 cooked meals a day
Rent: 4,000 yen
- Utilities: ~100 yen
- Remittance to home: 5,000 yen
Left over: 900 yen
That includes two cooked meals a day.
Her apartment rent is 4,000 yen.
Her cost for utilities is about 100 yen.
And her remittance to Ookuibaraki is 5,000 yen.
That leaves her with 900 yen in her purse each month.
Actually, it's a bit tougher now for Mineko than it was at the factory, isn't it?
I'm hungry...
Hello.
Office Lady Kusaka Sanae
Good afternoon.
What are you scared of?
Well, um... I wondered if you were angry...
No, I'm not particularly angry right now. This is the normal me.
Eh?
Please get used to it.
Yes, very well.
Well, rather, I'm feeling in a pretty good mood today.
It's my day off and I wasn't woken up by an ill-set alarm clock for no reason.
Ah, I can understand. I wouldn't like to be woken up like that either.
That was mixed with irony, though.
Huh? Eh?
Never mind.
Ah...
College Student Shimatani Jun'ichiro
Hello.
Boiling water?
Ah... yeah.
I thought I'd have some coffee. Since I was given some good beans.
Hmm... coffee, huh?
Would you like some?
Yes.
All right. How about you?
Are you sure about me, too?
Yeah, I wouldn't mind. They're called Blue Mountain beans.
I'm sorry. I don't know anything about coffee.
In the first place, what did you come to make?
Ah... Um, I have this!
Ramen Japan
Hmm... Never seen that one before.
It was given to me yesterday by a customer at the restaurant.
It seems it's a new product that he said would be coming out in the near future.
Hmm... So you can get such things where you work.
Sanae-san, you're making rice?
Right.
Ehh...
Huh? Where's your side dishes?
Rice only.
Eh?
Since it's rice sent to me from the countryside, I thought tsukudani would be just fine with it.
(preserved food boiled in soy)
If I spend too much, it gets tough for me.
That's true, isn't it. I know that all too well.
Really?
Ah!
I just had a good idea!
Sure.
It's about us sharing.
If we took Sanae-san's cooked rice, my ramen...
...and Shimitani-san's after-meal coffee, and all of us shared that...
...we could make a pretty extravagant meal, couldn't we?
Hmm...
That's true; ramen, rice and an after-meal coffee. Not bad.
Right!
I agree!
Right? Huh?
When did you get here?
Sorry. When it comes to food...
Manga Artist? Nitta Keisuke
We haven't made any smells yet.
I could read the signs.
Huh?
And? What are you offering to share?
Eh?
Eh...?
Shobon...
(manga sound effect: "dejected")
Then, shall we have him offer us the place where we will eat?
Since it's too small in here.
Yes!
Well, whatever. Don't particularly want to go in there, though.
This works out perfectly. This ramen is meant for four people.
Oh... That does work out perfect, doesn't it?
Ah, I'm sorry.
I can split the coffee four ways, too.
Ah...
Take care with what you bring in
Ah...
Tomi
We'll have to split it five ways, won't we?
Landlady Tachibana Tomi
You're good at that, aren't you?
Hide-san over at Suzufuritei taught me. He's a great guy.
Yes! He is.
Ohh... What a great sound!
Dad... I'm enjoying this somehow.
If you don't mind... It's late for a lunch, though.
My! I'm so happy!
When it got to smelling good, I figured it was about ready.
Um... all of us made this.
Really?
So little...
Eh?
Now... let's eat.
Itadakimasu.
Since the vegetables on top of the ramen are from Ibaraki...
...and because they were taken from our fields...
...please be sure to taste them thoroughly as you eat them.
I said taste them thoroughly!
Sorry... You're scary.
These are from your fields?
Yes, that's right!
How are they? Delicious, aren't they?
Yeah.
It makes you that happy?
Of course I'd be happy.
Since my Mom and my Grandpa...
...put a lot of effort into them.
Ehh...
Yeah. They're certainly good.
It all just goes into the stomach though.
Hey.
I'm sorry.
Here.
Here you go.
Here.
There's no sugar to put in it, is there?
I ran out...
Please have that ready yourself.
Well, I did have some the other day, but where is it...
Your room looks like it's lost everything.
Aim to be a Fujiko Fujio!! (manga writer formed by two manga artists)
What is Fujiko Fujio?
Eh?! You don't know of them?
Eh? Ah...
They're manga artists.
It's not just one person's name, but both of their names.
Ah, is that right. I'm sorry; I don't get to read manga...
You don't know about "Hattori-kun" or "Obake no Q-Taro"?
No, no, no. I know about those...
...but not about who draws them. I'm sorry.
Ah, I'm sorry. It's just they're like gods to us.
I'm sorry.
Gods, huh...
Yes! They came from the same Toyama Prefecture as us...
...and while only half of them were from Takaoka, they are our sempais from the same town...
A manga group of two country boys, who longed to be like...
...the successful manga artists combo who had come from their same town...
...and who believed they were sure to be able to do that...
...even though not a soul agreed with them that they could...
...recklessly left high school and cast aside their parents who were crying to stop them...
...and headed for Tokyo with little in savings but big in dreams.
Then five years rushed by. They returned home again at the end of last year.
You, who hated being told by your family, "Give this up! Give this up!"...
...came back to Tokyo at the end of the year.
However, your partner who said he would definitely return on the 4th, didn't...
...and you've had no contact from him, nor any letters.
Most likely he won't be coming back anymore.
Is that it?
Yes. Well, it is like that, but...
...don't you think there's some way we could put our dream back together?
I don't think there is.
That's true, huh.
Um...
What will you do from here on?
It's true, just as Sanae-san said...
...I might be reckless and untalented.
But... just because I haven't gotten there at last isn't a reason for me to quit.
Because I love it.
I love drawing manga.
I just love and love it to death.
I can draw for days on end without eating anything.
Because I love it.
But... that my partner may have given it up...
...I guess there's nothing I can do about that.
I can't blame him for doing that.
But...
I want to draw manga.
Someday we wanted children to read our manga just as engrossed...
...as they do with Fujiko-sempai's manga now.
I want to draw them.
Yeah.
Dad...
...I felt I envied him somehow.
Having a dream like that is incredible.
I envy you.
Eh?
I envy that.
Shimatani-san, you feel the same way I do, don't you?
Somehow, deep in my heart...
...this feeling just now is...
I've come back! Keisuke!
Eh?
Yuji...
You did come back!
Eh?
I came back thinking you would have died alone...
...but what is this perfectly happy atmosphere?
Who are you?
Don't tell me...
You're Keisuke's girlfriend?!
Huh?!
One more weird young man has been added, hasn't he?
Manga Artist? Tsubouchi Yuji
Well, I don't think he'll have much of an affect on Mineko's life, though.
