She can't see, hear and speak. So what about it?
Be useful to someone!
I wonder if she's a rebel.
She doesn't know that things have names too.
Since it's the first time he asked for a favor
I can't just ignore it.
I want to teach Umi-chan various things.
YES!!!
Helen Keller
You're awesome, Sullivan!
If I ever form a band, I'll name it 'Sullivan'.
Friggin' awesome!
When this man is in love with something
he would always use it to name the band.
Alright! I'm gonna do it too!
In short, using the names for his band is the biggest compliment he could give.
But at the moment, there's no plan to form a band or make friends.
Hana-san's there huh... Furthermore, that was my room, my room.
That's pretty awesome.
What the hell is this stain?
I hate this.
This room stinks!
Indeed, she would never thought of staying in Ittaku's room.
But for Hana, at this time, she can't ask for luxury.
So what if it's a bit stinky?
But it still stinks.
Umi, you can't do that. It's okay.
Umi.
This mysterious man is Hachifukuro-san.
Where and what exactly is he doing? How about his family? Or his job?
He's full of mystery.
But surprisingly, perhaps it's not a significant mystery.
It's okay. Mommy is here.
What the heck is this?
I told you, didn't I? This is going to continue forever.
What? That way of expression is irritating.
What do you mean?
I told you, the way you talk.
You sound like a politician.
I'm just saying it's not an easy task.
What's wrong with that?
You sound all high and mighty but in reality, you're not doing a single thing, right?
Huh?
Why do you have to blame me?
What did I do?
Thing is, you're not doing anything right?
What's with that phrasing?
Umi!
Whoa...so this is how it feels...
This is kinda scary. No way..no way...
Hey...
This development is exactly as expected.
Ah...sorry.
I don't think that's how it is.
Huh?
There it is again. That condescending attitude.
Then what kind of thing is it?
Why do you always have to lash out on me?
Because I hate it.
Well Umi-chan is amazing.
Amazing, isn't she?
It's annoying when you act all superior
but this useless idiot can make one angry too.
What is she angry about?
That of course.
Ah...
Is she that bothered by it?
Of course she would, with that.
Oh wait, Fukushi-kun, I'd like to ask for your guidance...
Excuse me, what time do you think it is?
Besides, it's not Fukushi-kun, it's Fukuchi.
You're leaving?
Welfare and time is unrelated. Welfare means 24 hours right, Fukushi?
(Japanese welfare = Fukushi)
It's Fukuchi!

Miracle Man
Episode 2
Do your best, Umi-chan!
Ow!
Good morning!
Come in.
Is it okay?
Just come in.
Okay!
What are you doing?
It's my first time in a girl's room.
I got nervous.
What kind of youth did you have?
Here's the key.
Eh?
I didn't want to give it to you but she can't be outside the room forever.
It'd be sad for her.
Okay.
His first time in a girl's room
and furthermore, given a duplicate key.
This is the peak in Kamemochi Ittaku's life.
Why are you looking so happy for?
Oh...nothing
I'll take care of it.
Next, here.
I've written various things about Umi.
I understand.
Here.
The food's here. I made yours too.
Eh? Yes~
Umi's clothes are in here since she's going to mess it up.
Okay, got it.
When she wants to go to the loo, she'll do this. The toilet sign.
I've asked for Fuuko-san's help.
Roger that.
Don't you dare open this. They're mine.
If I find out you see or touch my underwear, I'm gonna kill you.
Do I look like a guy who would do that?
You do.
Now...now...
Come here.
Eh?
No need to be shocked, you fool.
Does she understand?
That I'm her mother's friend.
I don't know whether she gets it or not.
But I feel less worried by doing this.
Cool...
Again?
I've carefully shampooed my hair today...seriously?
I used the same shampoo as Hana-san. This is weird.
Could it be the old one stinks...
Well then...
Please take care of her.
Yes.
See you, Umi.
Have a safe trip.
Just saying, if anything happens to this child, I'm going to die.
But before that, I'm gonna kill you. I'll look for the most torturous method online.
I understand.
Have a safe trip.
It's gonna be fine.
Don't say that so simply.
Sorry.
This is the first time I leave her with a stranger.
If anything happens, make sure you call me.
Yes!
Hana-chan
You just came back?
I'm a delinquent, you see.
Have a safe trip.
Excuse me!
I know!
I'll go see her.
Please do so.
That's cute.
It's time to be a man, Ittaku.
Be kind to me.
Well then...
Hm?
No, not gonna happen.
Let's go for a stroll, shall we?
Can I call you Umi? Okay, Umi?
U....mi....
A...stroll.
Let's go feel the world, okay?
Let's walk, let's walk
The song is from My Neighbor Totoro called 'Sanpo' or 'Stroll'.
Let's walk, let's walk
This is...
Bi... cy... cle.
Bicycle.
What Ittaku has been doing
is one of the communication methods for the deaf-blind by writing letters.
Ittaku thinks they work
however, for Umi-chan
the only thing she seems to feel is that they're ticklish.
I'm sorry.
Let's go, Umi.
What is this? What's with her?
She's weird! Look at her!
Look look!
Hey! What's wrong with having interest in this world?!
It's something that comes natural for you lot
but for Umi, everything is new!
Umi, you can't do that.
Stop that, okay?
Let her go! Can't you hear? Look, you've made her cry.
Umi!
What the hell? You're all rotten!
What are you doing? Let her go!
You're upsetting her! Let her go!
What the hell?
Let go!
I'm not letting go off her!
Let her go!
Stop it!
This man is a fool. However, I hope you remember this.
Miracles do occur for fools.
But unfortunately
in general, it's not miracle that occurs for fools.
It's incident.
It really pisses me off, seriously.
What is?
Don't you think so? They didn't listen to me at all.
How can they judge people by their appearance?!
People judge others by their appearances.
Huh?
Most living things judge things by the appearances.
You do that too, don't you? Am I wrong?
This guy is a good guy; he's scary;
This child is cute so she must be a good child.
Right?
Amazing, isn't it? She caused such a ruckus
and yet, she doesn't know.
She can't hear so she can't speak, right?
Since she doesn't know language.
Yes, seems like it.
That's dirty.
I wonder what she's thinking inside her mind.
Just now
"Ah!" That was funny, right?
Eh?
Missy, sorry for the mistake.
Wait...huh?
That's Rock, you know.
Do your best, Ittaku.
Yes.
Lemme clean that up. Pardon me.
Ow!
Hungry, aren't you? Wait for a while.
Um...apron, apron.
First, let's sit, Umi.
Alright, come here, here.
Alright.
Alright, be good. You're a good kid. Stop it.
Okay, here...
So...up. You like it, right? Here.
Not yet...
Spo...on.
Spoon.
Yes, okay.
Let's use spoon to drink it, okay? Start from there.
I know you hate this.
But I think it's no good if you don't learn.
As for the reason...
Ow!
How should I say it...
See...
Anyway, it's no good.
Let's do this until you can for today, okay? Your Mom will be surprised, you know.
Alright, yes.
That's it, that's it.
You're Rock huh, Umi.
Hana-chan, come here and help.
Okay.
Spoon...
Spoon.
Argh...seriously
Are you serious?
Umi...Umi...Umi
Umi...please
Umi...Umi
This is a spoon. Spoon, got it?
Surely there's a meaning to use this and eat.
I'm an idiot you see so I don't really get it.
But look, if you use this to drink
you'll be happy.
It's a small happiness but that's fine.
So I want you to know that too.
Using this to drink will make it more delicious. Okay?
Don't struggle, don't struggle.
Umi! Umi!
Ah...I'm sorry.
Stop pleading with your eyes. If you have anything to say, say it.
Is this going to go on forever?
Even if you ask me that...
But I got your approval, didn't I?
You did but...
I can't paint with this going on.
If you ask which do I prefer, I'd choose what you call delicate touch
or like a calmer...
Literary style
changes according to life, am I right?
Umi.
Everything in this world
surely has its meaning.
I don't really understand yet myself
but they're produced for a purpose.
Let's...
find that together!
Okay?
Together...
No!
Ah....Fukushi-kun.
It's Fukuchi.
Spoon! Hold the spoon!
Japan's Mother and Child Welfare
Social Security
Thanks for your hard work!
Crap!
Welcome home.
I'm home.
Umi.
I'm heading off to work. See you tomorrow morning. Bye, Umi.
When are you going to sleep?
I've been sleeping for decades. I'll be fine.
Sorry, sorry. Miss me?
Sorry, 'kay?
Yo!
Ah...hi.
You look terribly tired.
Am I?
That's it, right? You're staying at the same apartment as Hana-chan?
Yeah.
Is that it?
Is it because you did something good?
Of course not!
Eh?
Hana-san's not that type of woman!
Don't you even understand that?!
She's married! She's got a husband!
He's not around, but she has one!
Basically, there's no woman who would fall in love with me!
A woman like her will never like me.
She won't approve of me. It's no good. No good.
Ah...is that so?
Yes.
If I don't preserve my physical strength
the battle against the world will be harsh.
How would I know?!
Good morning!
Morning.
Morning, Umi.
Eh?
This is fine, right?
See ya.
I'm going, Umi.
Have a safe trip.
I'm going.
Good morning!
Morning.
Let's sit, Umi!
This...here, like this.
You're in the way! Move!
Off you go!
Okay.
Wait! Ow! Wait, Umi!
I'm not giving up! I'm definitely not gonna give up!
I won't give up!
That's great. Letting you stay at that apartment.
We should be grateful.
Yeah, you're right.
Is Umi-chan okay?
Is she causing any trouble?
Umi's not causing any trouble.
She's just doing what's normal for her.
You're right but...
I know what you mean but just saying.
Yeah.
But it's true they've been a great help.
I can come visit you like this.
It's difficult to bring Umi along.
But for Umi
I'm sure it's a good thing.
You think so?
Because...
she can't be with only you forever.
She needs to get used to other people, not just you and me.
I know...
Why would the apartment guy do this?
He said tons of things but I don't get it. Maybe because he's an idiot.
Hm?
Well I'm also an idiot myself.
He's going at it tirelessly.
Perseverance is needed the most when it comes to welfare activities.
It's not often you feel something rewarding.
Then why don't you do something about it? A remarkable thing.
I will.
My...my
You're both working hard, aren't you?
Eh?
I did it!
No way...
Perseverance is indeed important after all.
Yes!
This isn't what you wanted?
It's wrong.
This is not it.
It's wrong.
It's not right.
I see.
It's wrong! I haven't succeeded in anything yet with that!
No, that's not it.
It's not a matter of winning or losing.
What the hell have I been doing?! I was too desperate!
Sorry but about what?
Because that's what it is, right? That's violence!
That's what I'm asking...what is?
Just listen.
I'm listening but I don't understand so can I ask...
Shut up and listen.
Okay.
Right? It's no good, right?!
Forcing something is the same as the rotten authority!
Using violence to win is not a victory at all!
Am I wrong?
It's not that I must win
but I just want to live on like every other citizen. You get it?
Don't be silent, say something.
Sorry.
The talk is too grand...
This is no good.
This is wrong.
She's not happy, not at all.
She's not laughing. She's not laughing!
It's no good!
I don't understand but
what you're doing is fun, I think.
You think so? Right?
What's important is still LOVE AND PEACE, right?
What we're fighting for.
That's right.
Well for me it's LOVE AND PEACE AND ROCK.
In short, it's LPR.
Next is SMILE right?
Ah...yes. So it's LPRS.
It's no good if there's no SMILE.
That's right.
Damn it!
Well, I don't really get it but
you
seem to be having fun.
Hm?
Cheers.
Oh.
Smile.
Here you go.
It's the same with this...spoon huh...
Ah~ it's delicious...
Makes you smile...
The curve and dent, they're just right.
I want her to understand too.
Hurry up and eat, will ya? They're gonna be soggy.
Shut up! It's the customer's freedom.
What's important now is to figure out how to make her drink soup and smile.
Right, Ittaku?
Exactly.
It's how to make her drink soup with a spoon and smile.
It's the 3S !
Huh?
He doesn't quite understand what's bothering him.
But this is what Ittaku thinks.
This is probably the first time I think so much about a spoon.
That's probably thanks to Umi-chan.
So delish.
Why must we...
If you complain, I'll raise the rent.
What?
What's so funny?
You're complaining about every single thing.
Shut up~
Hana-chan! Have a sit.
Thanks.
Ittaku, the chair.
Here you go.
I'm sorry for the trouble.
She's been noisy and bothering you all.
What are you saying? Right, Fukushi-kun.
It's Fukuchi.
We don't think you're causing trouble or anything.
There's no need to feel inferior.
Living with dignity is fine.
As expected from Fukushi-kun!
I told you, it's Fukuchi!
That's a good one, Fukushi-kun.
Kayou-chan too, she's kinda glad too.
Ever since Umi-chan came, her literary style has become avant-garde.
That's cool. Avant-garde?
Shut up.
Alright, let's eat!
Everything we're using today is unbreakable.
No matter how you throw it, it's going to be fine.
Thank you.
Well then.
Tada~
Let's eat.
Hm?
What is it?
Ittaku.
Eh?
Kayou-chan.
Is it good?
Umi-chan, is it good?
Yes...
Yes!
She's laughing.
LOVE AND PEACE AND ROCK AND SMILE
I...
Hm?
I...
What is it?
I...
I'm going for a run.
What?
It's an expression of youth that's easy to understand.
But this man is almost 40 years old.
Ittaku?
What happened? Why is there no news at all from you?
Do you need money?
Grandma
I... I...
I've come to think it's good to be alive.
I may be useful to people.
You hear that, Grandma?
She's eating with a spoon.
It's delicious, right?
It was a mess and tough.
But it's delicious to eat with spoon, right?
I...I'm gonna name my band as 'Spoon'!
Spoon is amazing!
I see...
But be careful, Ittaku.
'Cause you're a fool.
Even if you think you're useful to people
don't cause any trouble to anyone, you understand?
I understand!
I see.
That's great.
Goodbye!
I wonder if Umi's still smiling.
Hana-san?
Thanks.
Eh?
