Looks like the Chief knows about us.
I'm tired of being played by you.
Let's break up.
Old female temporary workers...
You're all like pill bugs in a garbage dump...
On one hand, you have a man who openly harasses people...
Because if you antagonize women, work will never get done...
So we're forced to only say what they want to hear.
And on the other hand, you have a man who sneers at you behind your back.
You're both pathetic! You're criminals!
Acting self-righteous as usual...
You're the Boss of Age-Harassment.
A criminal. It's only natural you take other's work, isn't it?
Right, Chief?
That's enough.
note: it's a direct translation of the audio...to rephrase it to sound better would lose its dramatic flair... :)
The Chief's man, Hoshina Akihiko...
The one who used her young body and technique to steal him is...
Her.
- Hoshina? - Osawa and Hoshina??
You don't have the right to condemn anyone of harassment!
There's nothing between Hoshina and me.
What's more, there's nothing between Hoshina and Yoshii.
We know each other well because we were working together for so long.
Women spread rumours around him anyways.
No women from this company or our suppliers would ever get involved with him.
But I... I saw it!
The Chief and Hoshina kissing in public!
and also Hoshina-san held Yoshii-san in his arms and they kissed!
If you so calmly...
...Act like you actually saw something and spread rumours like that...
It's also sexual harassment!
But I actually saw it!!
Nakazato-san, since you work in Administration...
...you must be very familiar with the guidelines on sexual harassment.
Doing things like making remarks about co-worker relationships...
or concocting stories about other people's personal lives...
...results in a trial.
Where you will be made to pay compensation for damages.
Also in a trial, it is often the case that the testimony of the victims is strong and consistent.
Whereas the accuser is confused and incoherent...
In the end, the victim's claim will be upheld.
In this case, the victims are Yoshii-san, Hoshina-san & myself.
And the accuser, Nakazato-san.
The relationship between me, Yoshii-san and Hoshina-san doesn't matter, so right now...
Please speak truthfully.
You can't, can you?
Because it's a lie!
I-...It's not a lie...
"Do you enjoy spreading rumours...?"
"Don't you have anything else better to do?"
...if I had said those words to you, that'd be considered power harassment.
Moreover, Ikawa-kun.
Yes.
If in public you compliment and praise women, while bad-mouthing them behind their backs...
It's harassment.
"Aren't you a man..."
If I said those words to you, it would be sexual harassment right?
It's those two! The ones fighting over Chief Hoshina.
Rumours spread quickly.
as in, ex-boyfriend
Hoshina is my ex.
My Ex.
You dated him too, didn't you?
Not really "were"...
...We're dating right now.
Sorry about that.
He does like younger girls.
Nowadays, society is filled with harassment.
There are sexual, power, moral, and many other types of harassment.
Even though people in Japan are aware of this problem,
nothing has changed and harassment still occurs.
The age discrimination of women is ridiculed.
Older female workers are not valued.
Only the young and beautiful are praised.
Age harassment.
In short, A-hara.
This is the story
of a woman fighting against age harassment.
Age Harassment Episode 8
Original air date: September 3rd, 2015
- This is a loss for Osawa-kun isn't it... - Yeah
Even if the rumours are false, she was careless...
Women who have families...
...are hated much more by other female employees.
If this was the Edo era, she would be dragged naked through the streets.
Ah! Was that sexual harrasment?
Why would Chief Osawa be hated?
Right! I so-o-o look up to her!
She's good at her job, she's pretty...
...has a husband and a daughter...
...and even rumours about her being with a younger man~
So that's how high your morals go?
We don't want to hear that from you, sir.
the sound he makes is used to express shock
Women these days are greedy...
So they get tired of having just a husband~
That's right!~
Instead of her getting bored of her husband...
It's obvious that Chief Hoshina is just so much better than him, right?
You know, those rumours are just lies.
They-aren't-lies!
Women has changed too. Marriage is no longer a goal.
I'm getting married later this year, though.
Eeeeeeh!
Whaat...
So you're going to quit?
Oh no, I'm not trying to power-harass you.
When something like this happens there are many things you have to think about.
He's a cardiac surgeon.
Amazing! So you won't have to work! You did well for yourself!
Well that's one way to put it~ :P
You didn't tell us you had a boyfriend like that.
When did you meet him?
Three months ago, I guess.
We met and immediately hit it off.
Wha-... Isn't this abit dangerous?
Uh... Sorry about that...
I was just thinking that this might be too good to be true.
Don't you think of having an affair or anything!
There's no way I would do anything like that~
Today, everything made sense.
You're her ex-boyfriend, aren't you.
Yeah, but she dumped me.
And now, what comes next...
Is up to you to decide.
Though I don't want to break up with you.
I'll think about it.
- Hey! - Kyaaa!~
- Hi! - Dad! What on Earth!?
My buddy found me a part time job for a week in Tokyo.
Can I stay with you?
Y-yeah, come on in.
Man, you scared me, don't do that!~
You're the one who scared me!
Mom's pickles are yummy!~
Your mom, she's worried about you, ya know...
...about how it will all turn out with Hoshina-san.
What about marriage?
Well...
Mmmmm~
Well, he doesn't come here, right?
This place doesn't smell like a man was here.
I'm a good daughter, you know.
Well you know, when we were young, your mom was the one who pulled me in.
What?
- Really? - Yes.
- Despite appearances, she's amazing. - Wow~!
May I?
Oh, Yeah... sure.
But what about the others?
They distanced themselves from me when I told them about the marriage.
Don't you think it's because...
...it makes them sad because you're leaving them behind (by getting married).
Yoshii-san.
The best relationship between men and women is marriage.
That's what I thought when I looked at Kokone.
You're just politely protecting them, but...
Saying I changed out of nowhere, I guess my wedding must be vexing for them.
"How did someone younger then me meet a cardiac surgeon, and I still have nothing?"
When I think of my own past, I can still understand.
Some of my friends, even though they're plain and ugly, met good guys, had workplace romances and got married.
I haven't even gone to a wedding reception.
That could be proof that woman think of their ideal wedding the most.
Well I'm happy with myself right now so...
So when I hear they call you a "spreading virus"...
I get irritated, you know.
You're young, pretty, and stylish...
And you get pampered by all the guys...
They say you're the princess of a Hokkaido ranch owner.
But now that I'm happy myself, I've become gentler towards everyone.
Hey, you should get married too!
You have someone you like, right?
Y-...yeah.
I bet it's Chief Hoshina. You going to marry him?
He says he doesn't want to be committed like that.
To be honest, my fiancé's still a medical school student.
- He's younger? - No, we're the same age.
He graduated and worked for an IT company...
He was 23 when he started all over.
That's amazing!
He's super passionate about medicine.
But because he's still studying, I have to take care of everything.
Now I wish I had an encounter like that...
You can take the initiative, you know.
Marriage is a woman's ultimate goal.
This love triangle has become quite the rumour.
Actually... This has made Osawa-kun seem even cooler hasn't it?
Do not sell or claim as yours. That is harassment.
Osawa-kun is the star of General Affairs, so it is exactly as you say.
For a long time I've been promoting women...
based on their looks.
They looked elderly, they were fat, they had no fashion sense...
...so even though they were Chiefs, they didn't cause problems.
Boss, this is harassment.
Even though they may have thought that on the inside, they never said anything.
Then, the female Chiefs would change their clothing,
and get their body's and faces into shape.
As expected, Director Gondo always gets right to the point...
and deeply influences the lives of others.
Good morning.
If you excuse me.
we're assuming Jenebura is the name of another company
How are things going with the Jenebura license?
It was a struggle, but we got it done.
Great job.
Thank you so much!
Are you planning to get married?
I have no desire to get married to anyone right now.
I don't see the significance of it.
Higher positions require attending events as couples, aren't you worried about that?
I will find a polite way to come alone.
Instead of finding a way to avoid it, just go find a wife.
It won't be long until we talk about your promotion.
The women hate me...
I guess I'm finished as salaryman.
Well you did say "it doesn't matter what age women are"...
Then called them old ladies behind their backs...
Don't worry.
I've taken paternity leave and I'm somehow still alive.
I was suspended and I'm still okay.
Even after my one-year sick leave nothing has ended.
Anyway, cheers!
Cheers!
But you know, something definitely must have happened between Osawa and Hoshina.
To be honest... She's my type.
You mean Hoshina?
Sorry, man.
But you know, I think something happened between them.
It doesn't matter anyway, does it? They say it was in the past.
As if there is an idiot who doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, doesn't know any women...and lives to be 100.
Ya know... I'm his peer so I can understand but...
but there was DEFINITELY something between him and Yoshii.
Really.
A young girl fits Hoshina's type, after all.
So that really makes it love triangle?
Yoshii-san used her youthful body, didn't she...
Ahhhhh... Oh, sorry.
But you know, Nakazato-san dropped this rumour bomb.
This love triangle is too interesting to let go...
I think your salary-man life is not at stake.
I'm sure there was something between Hoshina and Chief Osawa.
And Yoshii, too!
I'm telling you, I saw both of them!
I'm open-minded about it.
Everyone's been caught red-handed before, so forgive Keiko-san and eat with us.
A woman who's been shamed will forgive the other.
I'm angry with Mika, though.
Being all happy with this cardiac surgeon guy, give me a break!
I heard she's been getting close with Yoshii-san lately.
She's been saying "When you're happy, the people you hate start disappearing"
I saw Chief Osawa in a new light yesterday.
A family, a job, and even a younger lover-
normally women who have it all get on my nerves but...
all in all, I think women aren't defined by their age.
Yesterday, Yoshii-san just stood there in total shock and said nothing.
I caught the Chief red-handed, so I hate her.
I do, but...
Woman like that get higher in the ranks with age.
You know... doesn't she know that Hoshina-san once said "Women over 25 aren't women"?
Even though Hoshina-san has been pretty upfront about not wanting to "settle down".
But he likes girls who want him to pick them, so it causes trouble.
Well, you reap what you sow...
- Right now he's probably saying "I don't wanna go home, Emiri". - Lame!
Thanks for waiting.
There's a really good Japanese restaurant here.
Let's enjoy ourselves.
I'll take you home too.
You don't really want to go home, huh.
Yeah, kinda...
Drinks and a man are the best way to forget something.
Do I look like I want to forget something?
Yesterday's thing with Nakazato-san, perhaps?
Instead of wanting to forget... It made me want to see you more.
Though it's just a rumour...
It was very interesting seeing Chief Osawa use her reasoning to silence Nakazato-san...
What a sly old fox.
That's not something a youngster could do.
Youngsters have their own power, though.
"Though"?
The bug salad you made, Maiko, is great!
It was easy!
We're happy mom's coming home sooner these days, right?
Super happy!
Me too.
One of the joys of having a family is eating together at the dinner table, isn't it.
You finally realized that?
Huh?
While researching insects...
I've learnt alot about men and women.
Excuse me, Nakazato-san?
Yes?
Every employee has an account within the company, like for buying a house or retirement.
Mika-chan has already put down her company deposit, is that even necessary?
It seems she's getting married.
- What? - I don't know, though.
Ah, that's why.
She says he's a cardiac surgeon, won't they be having an extravagant reception?
On their honeymoon, they'll doing things like staying on an abandoned island, or going to northern Europe...
Mika-chan's great.
I wish she would introduce me to her fiancé's friends.
You seem down. How are things with your loved one?
He hasn't asked me to go anywhere... even if I were to ask...
It seems he might not like that.
Well, if it's Hoshina-san, he'll be happy going somewhere with someone as young and beautiful as you. Go for it!
England's Prince Charles...
married the young and beautiful Princess Diana, divorced her...
then set his sights on the older Princess Camilla, that's why...
But basically, deep down...
He likes cute, younger girls.
People like Yoshii-san who still have their youth...
What would they do without their most powerful weapon?
Compete while you're still young!
Not to mention Hoshina-san likes younger girls anyway...
If it was me I would have tried to get married at a younger age.
I found his weakness.
No money, that is.
I somehow manage to take care of our day-to-day expenses so...
We'll get married as soon as he graduates.
Ah... Great!
He's already confirmed for a job in a Kobe hospital next spring, so I'm not worried.
But until that happens...
He needs ALOT of money, so I have to earn it.
That much?
His medical school is not associated with any hospitals here.
That's why he has to go to Kobe.
In case of people "from the outside" you have to pay a 3 million yen fee.
3 million yen!?
Well as a cardiac surgeon he saves a lot of people from death.
So I'm happy I can become his strength.
Long time no see!
Can I?
If we're seen together, people will talk.
Don't let them get to you.
Change happens fast in this world.
People have already forgotten about that rumour.
Here.
- What is this? - A gift.
I went to Milan for 5 days to work on a contract.
It's cheese.
I'm happy to receive this.
It will be gone pretty quick though.
Normally someone would say "tell me before you go to Milan!".
That's a women's usual reaction.
You say "that's the kind of thing one would say to their partner...that's why I won't get married" to everyone.
Oh, that was a quick rebuttal.
My friend has fallen in love, and is getting married next week.
Oh! Well good for them.
She says, the best expression of love is marriage.
Well, in general that's probably the case.
She's a normal person so it seems she's happy.
Mmmm~.
Alright. I'll be waiting at 7 pm at our usual spot.
Okaaaa-y.
Something's off about that guy.
It's strange.
Usually medical schools are affiliated with hospitals...
So if they don't have an associated hospital, it's unlikely they would get approval to operate from the Ministry of Education.
I can't make the decision, but it would be better for her to get her facts straight first...
I've also never even heard of having to pay 3 million yen as an entrance fee to a medical office.
She's so happy about finally getting married...
she even started being nice to me.
"When I'm happy, I'm nice to everyone," she says.
With me too.
Is that so.
Even so, she hasn't said anything about it being suspicious.
She thinks she can finally live her life with someone else...
If I join you, the love triangle will be confirmed, won't it?
Well, join in then~
This "love triangle" rumour is no fun.
Bye, then. - Wait!
A souvenir.
I went to Milan for 5 days.
About the licence, right? Seems like you got it.
Perfectly.
Once the agreement is signed,
How about you treat those of us involved in this false love triangle...
...to some italian?
That'll be a good place to forget all about it.
Right?
Fine then, it's a deal.
Definitely.
And I was like "I'm soo happy!
Goodbye!
- Excuse me... - Yes?
Ah... nevermind.
Goodbye.
Thanks for your work.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!~
Ya know, doesn't it seem like she wants to talk to us about something?
It's because she thinks we're all jealous.
After leaving us (single people) behind...
The winner starts to feel like she has to make us all feel better.
Thats right~
Especially without using a gimmick, Mika-chan who is in her mid 30's...
Managing to marry a cardiac surgeon...
It's like being in the 9th inning, with 2 outs and 2 strikes...
...and the bases loaded, then hitting the ball out of the ball park.
You two seem to be getting along, did she tell you something?
Nope... I think i've heard about as much as you guys have about her boyfriend.
Is that so~ Well you're together alot, surely you've talked about other stuff?
Well, now that she's happy...
...She says she wants to see others happy too.
She is so proud.
That's why even such a spreading virus like you...
Ah, sorry. That's why she's nice to everybody.
Literal Mother Theresa.
- Tell her to invite us to the wedding~. - I'm not going.
- Me neither. - Why not?
It's not worth it to spend money to get dolled up just to see a friend's happy face.
- Exactly. - Is that so...
Right. So you'll be our representative. Bye!
Goodbye!
Oh, Ohkura!
Thanks for the invite.
Welcome!
Sit here~
Long time no see!
- Would you like your alcohol mixed with water? -Sure.
You know, we've met like two times since graduating university...
Even then it's been like 20 years hasn't it?
Oh wow, it has been 20 years...
How is it? Being a professor at a women's university?
They keep telling me to follow the rules, it's annoying.
You know, even questions like "have you gained weight?" or "have you lost weight?", none of that is allowed.
Here we go!~
Here's to our 20 year reunion!~
Cheeeers!
Right. Takayama, hear me out.
Recently, my colleague...
He told me that there's been talk of me checking out students during lectures...
and in a meeting I've been accused of not complying with the rules.
What I'm saying is, I'm being accused of sexual harassment.
- Terrible! - Isn't it?
I have it tough too, if I take a taxi ride with a female co-worker, that's sexual harassment.
If you yell at your useless employees to work harder, even yelling just a little bit...that's power-harassment.
- Really!? - Ya know, in my case...
After that one time, during lectures...
I don't even look at the students.
So where do you look? hmm?
There.
At the emergency exit!?
It saves lives.
But being the professor at a women's university...
It's amazing you have a favorite Hostess Club.
All I do is look at the exit sign though....
But you know, I want to look at big boobs too...
Big boobs, is there someone like that here?
There is, she's 24.
- Ohh... - Sayaka, call Miruku-chan.
Understood.
Oh, she left...
- Please call Miruku-san. - Okay.
She's here!
I'm Miruku! Thank you for your request.
What are you doing? Come over here, here!
Right. Excuse me.~
I wanted to meet you.
- Thank you, Ohkura-sama, for taking me home the other day. - Don't mention it!
This guy, he's called Takayama.
He's the Chief of the Administrative department in Teitou Trading.
He's my peer from my university days.
Ah, a peer!
My name's Miruku. Please, take it and have me in your favour.
Oh, I don't have any of my business cards.
Your company's name is your name card.
Everyone who knows about this firm, and knows it's greatness.
Mm, you're definitely turned on aren't you?
Didn't you say you liked big boobs?
I can let you touch them if you promise not to tell the management.
Uhh, no thanks...
Aww, don't be like that~
Cuuuute!
- Miruku-san, please come with me. - Okaay~
I'm sorry, I'll be right back.
- Don't take too long ok? - Okay~
- You're slow~~ - I made you wait~
Takayama, I've got a question for you...
- When you sleep at midnight,... - Excuse me.
...how many times do you go to the toilet? I go 3 times...
Hey, Jeez, you're not allowed to do that, bad boy~
And when I'm about to fall asleep, my legs start twitching a lot...
Hey Ogura, how much is the hourly wage of this hostess club?
I think it's around 3500 yen an hour.
The girls that work at places like this...
Really need the money.
The big-boobed Miruku-chan from before, she's just a university student but...
She says she wants to save up to go study abroad.
She's a student?
- Nowadays female students like the ones at my university... if they need money they wind up working at brothels. - Brothels!?
Say hey to mom will you. I'll come visit at the end of the year.
Ah. You've really taken care of me this week.
I made some pretty good money~
That's good.
Listen, you better not end up working some strange jobs, okay?
What I mean is, there are some jobs that girls do to make money...
And they're seen as unseemly and unreliable by everyone. You know what I mean?
I'm not doing those jobs.
While you're still young, why don't you have a good think about marrying someone like Hoshina-san.
So you're saying "do it while you're still young" too, huh...
I mean while you're still young you two can get together...
...and get through life together, that's the best thing to do.
You've seen your mum and me? You get it, right?
Yeah.
Man... I was seriously shocked.
What's going on?
I am sorry. I thought this place was far enough from the office...
...I thought no-one from the office would come here.
I was shocked too.
Work regulations dictate that part-time work is forbidden, you know that, right?
Yes...
I need money...
When we "escort" people, we get to keep all the profits...
...In a month, that's more than 400,000 yen.
Well, the monthly salary at our company is more than 300,000 yen, isn't it?
Well, it's just... I have to pay for 2 people now.
I've heard your fiancé's...still a student.
- Did Yoshii-san tell you? - Oh, no, nothing like that.
I was worried so I looked into it a bit.
Is it okay to look at someone's personal info?
Don't pay for subs. They were made by fans for fans.
Forgive me.
Money from your company bank account has been dissapearing fast...
So the welfare-division was worried.
Rumour has it he's not attending an affiliated medical university.
He's starting his medical career at a huge hospital in Kobe next spring...
There is no need for concern.
So...you only need money now?
Yes... just for now.
No matter what, I have to make 3 million yen by next March.
Chief, I know that this is a violation of the work rules but...
But please, for the next 6 months, let me work here!
Please.
I can't...do that.
Please! Just let me do it!
Please!
Excu-... Excuse me...
Rules are the backbone of the company.
The fact that you've worked there until now...
...Discuss it with the people you need to discuss it with.
If everything goes right, we may be able to look past this.
But after tomorrow, you can no longer continue this part-time job.
Please help me...
If I can't make that money I don't know if I'll even be able to get married...
Please! Please help me! Please!
- Don't shout... Excuse us - Help me! I am sorry.
Don't cry.
Don't cr... ah.
- Here. - Thank you.
I was hoping that for the next 6 months...
Surely there's something you can do to help me out?
I'm sorry... I can't do that.
Driver, please go.
Excuse me.
Yoshii-san.
Yes.
Did you know that Noda-san was working at a hostess bar?
What!?
No... I had absolutely no idea about that.
Is that so...
Yesterday, by chance, the Chief was there...
Huh?
Oh, nothing like that. A college friend invited me so I went...
I was shocked...
Seeing Noda-kun with her cleavage all out,
...and serving alcohol to men, getting invited here and there...
No matter how you look at it, she's getting used by someone pretending to be a doctor.
I mean she's paying for both of their day-to-day expenses...
And on top of that, she says that she HAS to make 3 million yen, no matter what.
So it's true...
Firstly, he's not going to work at his university's medical school...
On top of that, having to pay 3 million yen to enrol, I've never heard of anything like that.
We didn't just look at the hospitals in Kobe, we also researched all the top hospitals in the country.
Well...if there isn't a hospital like that...
Are you saying that the person Noda-san is going to marry is a marriage scammer?
It's a disaster!
She kept saying to me ,"just 6 more months, let me work this job for 6 more months"...
Noda-kun was so desperate, she was begging me. Such a poor thing...
I'm so pathetic, I couldn't even help a women in need...
It was like she wanted to fight me tooth and nail for what she wanted.
Chief, I'll be going to the Motor Vehicle division.
Okay, thanks.
Thanks for yesterday.
Oh, no, don't mention it...
Please transfer...
3 million yen to this account by midday.
Who?
- You. - Me?
If the transfer is confirmed, I will quit the "part time job" today.
Wh-... Hang on. I said that "part time job" was forbidden...
Do you want me to pay?
No...
Yesterday at the sushi restaurant...
This is compensation for you sexually harassing me there.
Sexua-... No...
This is compensation for you sexually harassing me there.
Sexua-... No...
But I didn't do anything.
You were checking out my body, and even took me out afterward.
What do you mean afterwards… I mean I was just worried about you.
As your superior I felt it was my duty...
...To use that time wisely and give you advice.
At the sushi restaurant you grabbed my arm.
You're the one that did that.
If, by midday, you don't transfer the money...
I'll say...
outside of work...
you said you are fine with having sex with subordinates.
That you don't see woman as human-beings, and say that's why you can do it...
I'll tell everyone everything.
You're going to tell everyone everything... But it's all a lie...
Everyone will believe me.
- I'll write a letter to Director Gondo. -Please! Don't do that.
H-... Hang on.
This is terrible.... terrible
What happened Chief? You're looking very pale.
- Ikura... Shut up. - Got it.
Oh my, is that male menopause I see?
Just kidding.
Asano...
You're a good guy. Being able to always say "just kidding" at the end of your sentences...
It can resolve everything, can't it?
Chief, did something happen? Everyone's worried about you.
My staff keeps giving me problems...
Sorry. Umm, before when you two were face to face...
...and whispering things to each other...
What are you even saying!? I'm basically standing on the edge of a cliff right now.
Edge of a cliff?
Ah, she's here!
Ikura... she's coming here...
You had no intention of making the transfer did you?
I even waited until the afternoon for the transfer...
If I can't do my part-time job...
Noda-san you were working a second job!?
Really...
Yesterday...the Chief sexually harassed me!
- Nooo--- - What!? The Chief!? No way!
Its the truth.
He did things to me...that I can't thoroughly say here.
Please, just calm down abit, Noda-kun.
Everyone, this is a lie! A lie!
He went out of his way to invite me to a sushi restaurant far away from the office...
He touched my body... and continued to do obscene things.
I...did it for the money but...
The Chief didn't take responsibility...
And insisted there was no sexual harassment.
I will take you to court and request a lot of money.
Women should not meekly accept the situation!
The Chief is a pathetic, terrible human being!
You... I'm gonna fight you tooth and nail.
- Ah! - Oww!
You...how dare you do that to a friend...
Even though people call me a "spreading virus"...
You were the first to become "friends" with me...
...So this hurts...
But what you're doing right now is wrong!
For real!
Would you swear to God that Chief Takayama sexually harassed you?
He did!
Liar! I think he didn't do anything!
Even though he didn't, you're still making a fuss that he did...
There are people in this world who steal people's money and ruin their lives, that's just reality.
In such a society, if you think money can buy anything...
Then you are also a horrible person! The worst of the worst.
Ehhh... Aren't you against sexual harassment, moral harassment, all the harassments?
I'm against all harassment.
I'm saying this excessive society we live in is ridiculous.
everything is about being politically correct nowadays...not so in the past
Society once lacked attentiveness, but today it is excessively attentive.
Just like lacking compassion, an excess of it is also a nuisance!
Read the company sexual harassment handbook. It's all written there!
"Just don't touch", "Just don't say anything"...
YOU'RE the one who should read it properly.
You said "Just don't touch", "Just don't say anything", that "just"...
It's a little nuance in meaning. It will cause a lot of problems so don't touch or say anything...
the literal translation says that all will be well provided one does not provoke God's wrath... meaning, if you don't sexually harass, then no harm will come to you
In this guide it says "Let sleeping dogs lie"...
Is clearly written and expressed.
Indeed...
Men follow the rules not because they are avoiding sexual harassment suits,
but rather, men follow the rules to avoid women's ill will.
That's why we have come to ban all kinds of harassment.
This is insulting to women. The men who wrote this manual are making fun of us.
Yet despite all this you are trying to cheat someone out of money?
Noda-san... You have fallen as far as a women can fall.
The Chief totally sexually harassed me!
That's why I am making a request for compensation for damages.
You... Even though you don't know anything, sure are saying a lot in defense of the Chief aren't you!?
Well, the same thing happened to my own father...
I thought this could be the same.
When my dad just said "Do your best!" and touched a female worker's shoulder encouragingly...
...He was sued for sexual harassment...
And had no choice but to quit his job.
Even though my dad started a restaurant in his home town...
He went bankrupt in 2 years, all that was left was his debt.
I worked part time and got scholarships, then finally graduated university...
And now I use my salary and bonuses to pay back the debt.
I know it's just a rumour...
But I'm nothing like some sort of rich princess.
Chief Takayama, with regards to sexual harassment, he has learned a lot, and is our leader...
And has managed to avoid doing the same mistakes as my father.
In the same way as the female worker from my dad's office...
Noda-san... I can't help but think...
You are just using sexual harassment to get some money.
Aren't you setting up Chief Takayama to make money (for your partner)?
You're just utilizing sexual harassment for him aren't you?
Yoshii-san... and all the women here...
You're all pathetic human beings that have never dared to go through life with someone else.
How could people like you understand?
Somehow, now I have another person to happily go through life with.
For him I need money, no matter what!
Even so, I'm not making this up!
Read this later.
Are you saying he's a fake doctor?
I think you should read it later...
He's not enrolled in Ryosei Medical University?
It's all lies?
"In all the university's in Japan, there is no such thing as a 3 million yen enrollment fee"?
"In all the hospitals in Kobe, there has been no new enrollment from Ryosei Medical University"?
What is this? Wh-... What is this!?
Lies... It's all lies, I don't believe it! It's bullshit!
Oi! Open your eyes!
You can try again... okay?
Okay? We can try again...
When a friend's in pain, she can be nice...
Man... You guys really helped me out today. Thanks.
It's good if Noda-san can just return to living by herself.
It's a very simple topic.
Yoshii-kun... your dad had it rough, didn't he?
After he explained it to everyone, we felt a lot better.
Things like sexual harassment, age harassment...
Instead of "just..." we have to be "properly" conscious, don't we?
I think that's a lot harder than you think.
As for Noda-kun...
...I mean she was pretending to be a university student at the Hostess Club...
Meaning she also acknowledged that there is an advantage to be had by being young.
That's why they should get married while they're still young...
Eh? Do you think so too, Yoshii-kun?
Uhh... yeah...
Around 22 or 23... I'd like to get married around then.
I see...
Welcome!
Ah... Is this textile territory?
Osawa-kun brought us here today.
Nice to meet you. Are you a model?
Yes,
- Aren't you a teenager? - She's 18.
This is a free fansub.
Turning 19 next month, right? -Yeah.
I see...
Well, if you'll excuse us.
Take your time.
- After you. - Thank you.
I guess there's no doubt these two are dating.
Is this sexual harassment?
