Why?
Hey, why? Why am I not good enough?
It's not that.
It's not a question of good or bad.
How should I put it?
What is it?
I made a mistake.
A mistake?
Yeah, a mistake.
Love is a cycle, right?
"I'm going to fall for someone soon."
"I'll fall soon... Oh, I fell."
I met you at that point in the cycle.
But as to whether I really liked you or not,
it's unclear.
So you made a mistake.
Sorry.
Then.
It's time for a penalty game.
What?
Stop!
Don't do this!
I like you.
I said stop!
Besshii can't hold back anymore.
Stop! Besshii!
Noburin!
Besshii.
Iborii.
Besshii.
Iborii.
Ibosshii!
Oh, it was a dream?
Oh, a dream.
It was the worst.
What, was it a threesome?
Don't go back to sleep.
Tenchou didn't appear.
But...
you did. Why?
Maybe you like me.
Hey!
It's been a week since that, and something's been troubling me.
That may have really been a love letter.
And that...
may have really been a date.
If that's the case, then I was unthinkably rude.
Huh?
If she likes me...
Cosmo
Then maybe that...
Pink!
Red! I like you!
No, no way.
It's insane to tell someone you like them wearing that.
Argh! Anyway, I want to apologize.
But Akabane hasn't been here.
Akabane hasn't been here lately, huh?
Damn!
ESP Shinobu, don't be so flippant.
How about mailing her?
I want to, but my phone...
Here. Someone turned it in to the police.
What?!
You should be careful. It could be used for a crime.
ESP Shinobu.
No, Mother Shinobu...
You're my mother.
I'm not good at dealing with your mother, but...
if you were my mother.
No, wait!
Why did I buy this phone?
It was to mail and talk to Shinobu.
Thank you.
But I can't let my guard down.
Every time I try to talk to her, Funakoshi comes in.
On three.
Shino...
Shino Hiroko.
All right, he's not coming today.
This is my chance.
Shino...
Hey, Shinobu-cchi. How are you?
I'm great.
By the way, about the party,
Party?
Yes?
Oh right,
Doigaki and Emo-yan's wedding party.
I really think we should have a surprise party.
Hm? Surprise?
That's a good idea.
Then we won't tell them.
I see.
You're really thinking.
Since it's this time of year,
how about inviting them to a Christmas Party?
That's good.
I think it's very good.
Then I'll close the cafe for that on the 24th...
I'll tell Besshii and Chikura,
so you tell Akabane.
Okay!
Also, Master.
Yes. What should I do?
Neapolitan.

Doctor Besshii, I feel feverish.
Okay. Then I'll give you a thick shot.
Is it really thick?
About this big?
Oh, that's too big.
No, it's not.
It's impossible.
You want a shot, right?
You're so mean.
Say you want it.
Oh, you dirty nurse!
You're so bad!
This is sexual harassment!
This is bad.
Iborii, I'm starting to fall for Besshii again.
Oh?
He was minus 100, but now he's minus 50.
Oh really.
But Tenchou is 150.
He's going up.
That's right. He'll probably keep going!
What about me?
0.
Come on, give me at least 1 point!
Hey, what should I do?
How should I know?!
If you like him that much,
you should date them both.
Iborii!
No way, right?
That may be a good idea.
Hm, for a party, we need flashy decorations.
And I'll allow alcohol for this one day only.
I'll be really busy preparing...
So I'll close the cafe the day before.
Hey, what do you want to do for Christmas?
Oh, this is bad.
I have to keep the surprise a secret.
How about going to Disney Sea?
Hey, the guests of honor can't go to Disney Suu!
Oh, that's good. I'll make hotel reservations.
You're staying together?
How indecent.
Looks like they're already booked.
Nice follow up, Shinobu Mama.
Then,
I want to take a cruise.
This is bad, Shinobu.
What's in Manhattan that isn't on a cruise?
Oh, karaoke!
Is that true?
What?
Hello?
I was surprised.
Cheating, cheating.
I am a woman who cheats.
Oh, Akabane, what are you doing on the 24th?
The 24th?
Yeah. We're having a Christmas party.
When did you make invitations...?
Is everyone coming?
Yeah.
Oh, you two should come too.
It starts at 8.
What a nonchalant way to invite them.
We'll definitely be able to surprise them.
Then how about meeting up with everyone at night?
Okay.
I... um...
have to ask my boyfriend.
Boyfriend?
She looked at me when she said that.
What does that mean?
He's thinking.
But this is only the prelude to my affairs of love.
She's still looking.
Blend.
You need to keep it a secret that this is a surprise party for Doigaki and Emo-yan.
Please let me know if you'll be attending by the day before.
All you can drink?
Is it all you can drink?
Ayame.
You won't go, right? Sorry.
Hi, Ayame, Touyama, Funakoshi.
Hey.
And, um...
I'm Ikezu.
Okay.
The taped rehearsal is about to start.
Then I'll wail today too. Let's go!
I'm ruined.
Okay.
Wait.
I have a request.
What is it?
I wonder if I should.
This really isn't something I should ask you.
Is it about Akabane?
It's about Akabane.
I'll listen.
Sorry.
I've been acting weird lately.
Oh, no. It's not your fault if it's because of work.
Don't worry.
You're not mad?
Not at all.
No way, you're mad.
I'm not.
Instead...
You wanna go somewhere Saturday?
I can't go on Saturday!
What about Sunday?
I can't!
When is good?
Iborii's watching.
Then I'll call you later.
Ciao.
Recently all she's done is turn me down.
What should I do?
How should I know?
I'm not your mother.
I wouldn't ask my mother about this.
That's obvious. It's creepy!
But isn't it weird?
She's the one who told me she liked me in the first place.
That's my line!
You said you lik-
Whatever. Anyway.
Sorry. You're friends with her, and...
Stop.
I'll tell you my opinion as a scriptwriter.
If there were a scene like that in my drama,
the next scene would be...
What? What?
She would be meeting another man.
Please enjoy.
All right.
If you like me, you should drink this coffee.
If not, "karaoke" is coming.
Those two are such a distraction. Those newlyweds.
Thank you for the food!
All right, it's my chance.
Karaoke Cafe Manhattan.
Doigaki, we've nearly reached your dream.
What? I feel like the point of the bet has changed.
In the beginning, I was fighting to get Akabane to drink my coffee.
But now, our relationship has already changed.
We went to an amusement park, and...
Manjirou.
She calls me by a weird name, and...
The other day...
The other day?
Oh! I have to apologize.
It was fun.
Yes.
What? She's not mad?!
No wait, just now I talked!
Really naturally!
Let's go sometime again, okay?
Okay.
My voice was even more natural that time!
What should I do?! I'm talking!
I want to talk, Shinobu!
I'm going to collect the pots.
Don't be so considerate! I'll start depending on you!
I'm itching to take advantage of your kindness.
Oh no! I sat down.
Even though the cafe is open.
Where should we go?
Kyoto.
Why?
You don't want to go to Kyoto at all!
Kyoto, huh?
That's good, but we'd have to stay over.
Then how about Kawagoe?
What?
Edo-era scenery is still left in Kawagoe,
so it's called the Kyoto of eastern Japan.
Why are you spewing useless trivia?
Then how about Odawara Castle?
There's three of us.
There's only two, but there's three.
What?
You're so interesting!
No, I'm not.
What?
I am...
Oh no!
Besshii.
Let's go.
I need to talk to you.
Wait a sec. What is it?
Just come with me.
What?
Hey!
I talked.
I said a lifetime's worth of words.
Karaoke: 1 song, 100 yen
What is it?
What?
What do you want to say?
Is there someone you like?
Here it is.
Karaoke!
Get me the mike.
Fatty.
If there is, I'll give up.
You'll give up.
Of course.
I'm not the type to wait around, or try to steal you away.
Then don't say anything.
"Then"?
If you're going to give up anyway,
then it doesn't matter who I like.
Is there someone?
Who? Do I know him?
Tenchou.
I like... Manhattan's Tenchou.
You're so good.
What?
Sorry. It's just impossible.
Impossible!
I'm serious. I really like him!
We even had a date at an amusement park.
Sorry.
I get it. That's enough, okay?
Whoa!
He laughed at me!
What?
When I said I liked Tenchou, that man laughed wholeheartedly.
This isn't cheating!
There's no thrill!
I feel stupid! Do something!
This is too sudden, I don't know what you're on about.
But I talked with Tenchou.
Are you serious?!!
And he said we should go to Kawagoe!
That's amazing! He said that! Wow!
Where is he?
This is really fun!
I want everything.
What to do?
If the cause isn't another man,
then it's boredom.
Even though we've only kissed?
There's not enough tension.
She's gone slack just because
you like her!
Calm down.
So that means...
In order to bring back the tension,
I should have an affair?
You want to?
Not at all.
How naive.
Going by the Chikura Drama Theory, this is time for...
What?
Attempted suicide.
What?! Me?
See? It's getting interesting!
What?
An entire bottle of sleeping pills?
Yeah.
Somehow. I feel sleepy.
For real?
What are you doing?
Are you stupid?
Stupid?
Wait a sec!
Help me, Nobuko.
Are you okay, Besshii?
What? Iborii?
Besshii, what's wrong?
Touyama?
Right now, we're planning Doigaki's engagement party at my place.
Oh, I see.
He said he took an entire bottle of sleeping pills!
What?!
I know I said an entire bottle, but there were only like three pills in it.
And I didn't take it.
You should drink a ton of water.
Thanks.
Oh, Shinobu, you're there too.
Stick your finger down your throat and throw it up.
Who are you?
Don't sleep.
You can't sleep.
Okay, okay. I'm wide awake now anyway.
Then come here now.
Chikura?
You've been nominated to emcee the karaoke tournament at the party.
Why are you there?
What else?
Bingo.
Wait, shouldn't someone go check on him?
Hm?
He's fine.
I'll go!
Oh, that's okay...
You don't have to come. Really.
Please don't come.
I'll go get him and bring him here.
He and Akabane will talk alone.
Everyone else leave.
Okay!
What are you up to?
Akabane, lend me your car.
Ah! I left it parked in front of Manhattan.
It took an entire day.
But there's a lot of developments to follow recently in the field of party supplies.
Hm?
This is... Cosmo Pink!
This is an amazing fact!
Cosmo Pink really was Akabane.
This makes it clear.
Akabane unmistakably likes me.
Is that true?
What if this isn't her car?
Move!
Red, I like you!
I... Iborii?
Drink this.
I'm not mad.
Really?
Really.
This is the first time I've done something so uncool.
You hate me even more now, right?
Not at all.
But I staged a failed suicide attempt.
That's a double dose of lameness.
I'm not lying.
I don't hate you when you're troubled.
Nobuko.
I'm acting high and mighty, even though it's all my fault.
But you're sexier when you're troubled,
rather than when you're full of confidence.
Sorry!
I'll go take a bath.
W-What?
What do you mean?
I guess I better deodorize myself?
Okay.
Think on your own for once!
This is the most dangerous situation.
But this is not my pace at all.
Then let her lead. You're younger, right?
You'll be fine.
Become a tuna and get gutted.
Get gutted?
Noburin is going to get gutted.
Get cleaned out good and well.
Okay.
Let me know how things turn out.
Okay.
Oh.
Are you going home?
Yeah.
Oh.
Then... take care.
Okay.
Ciao.
This is shameful.
I...
don't even have the courage to die?
How pitiful.
But I don't hate you.
You're sexier now than when you're
full of confidence.
Then!
I'm taking a bath.
Jenny!
This is absurd.
What's wrong?
You look like a dead tuna.
I recognize this!
Mrs. Karuizawa in a red jumpsuit.
Next time, the raging conclusion.
How did you know about this?
Know what?
I don't follow you.
That's me.
That's exactly what happened to me.
Really?
Oh?
I see.
Don't play dumb!
This is a regrettable intrusion of privacy.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I only wrote great lines.
What are you doing?
Calling Besshii to check.
Why would you do that?
Listen to me, Akabane.
What you're doing is no different
from staying up all night in line to get a ticket to see your beloved GLAY,
and then not going.
I don't really like GLAY.
It's an example!
Even if you don't like him now,
it's true that you liked him before, right?
You should at least do it once.
What are you talking about?
Fuck!
This is the first time I've heard a Japanese person say "fuck."
Excuse me!
Did you fuck him?
Now even Akabane said it...
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Yes.
What?
We were dating.
Not doing it would be unnatural.
That's true. But I didn't want to hear it.
That's the truth.
Besshii is so stupid.
Huh?
Ah!
Oh, Japanese geisha girl.
Yes, I am.
Cosmo Pink.
Get your hands off of her!
What?
Oh, Iborii.
Oh, Ivory.
I'm not Ivory!
I'm Iborii!
Whoa.
Don't say "whoa"!
Come here, foreign thugs A B C.
Iborii.
Stop it!
Stop it! Stop it!
Stop! Stop! I said stop!
Let go!
Eat this!
Iborii Fist!
Hello baby.
Hello?
Damnit!
Are you okay, Akabane?
You're not watching?
Ivory!
Ivory, Ivory.
I'm sorry.
Iborii Fist!
What? What is it?
Closed for the Day
Closed for the day?
Oh, dear. I'm supposed to meet Doigaki here.
I found this in the trash when I was cleaning.
So you're already living together.
This is that, right?
The leftover part of a porn magazine wrapping.
I'm sorry.
Why do you have to open porn magazines when we're living together?
It's not that. It said it had 100 shots of a female announcer.
So I was checking to see if they were you,
since it'd be bad if your pictures were released again.
I don't want to hear your excuses.
Her accent's back.
Hey, tomorrow is your party.
I've even prepared your beloved karaoke.
If I find this again, we're getting divorced.
What?!
The party...
I want to tell them. But that'll ruin the surprise.
But we're not even married yet.
I'm different than other woman!
Okay.
When the smoke comes out, please start the snow.
Besshii, the dancers are here.
Got it.
Good morning.
I'll explain the procedure.
First, this scene embodies Mrs. Karuizawa's desire. Okay?
So give it your all.
All right.
Besshii,
come here.
What is it?
Did you see Akabane?
Practice on your own.
Let's practice. To the practice room.
That's right.
She won't answer her phone.
As I thought...
Did something happen?
Yeah.
Sort of.
Oh, it's locked.
But it's really delicious.
That's right.
2 Curry Dojos!
You two...
It's Slam Dunk!
never grow up.
I tried calling her work,
but she hasn't been in for days.
I did something horrible.
Oh, Chikura! And Besshii!
Good work. Here's a present.
Thank you.
Whether we laugh or cry, it's finally tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Hey, hey, Besshii! The party!
The surprise party. I'm looking forward to it so much.
I can't remember my lines at all.
But it's okay.
In the end, I will finish my job perfectly.
Well then, I'm going to go yell.
Who is it this time?
I'm sorry. I know you're closed.
Please come in.
I don't need coffee.
Please sit.
Sit next to me.
Until now...
I'm sorry I've beaten around the bush.
I wanted to be direct, so I came today.
I...
like you.
I really like you.
That's all I wanted to say.
Wait.
I...
like you too.
But I like coffee too.
I like both, so I can't cheat on one.
In other words...
I love you the best among people.
Wait!
This is no good.
Just think about the party.
Why did I say that?
"I love you the best among people."
I'm so embarrassed.
First, what will happen to Shinobu's position?
Shinobu even quit her band in order to tell me her feelings.
What will happen to me?
Do I like Akabane?
Do I hate her?
I don't know.
I understand others, but when it comes to myself...
I want someone to decide for me!
What about Besshii?
In order to know the charms of one,
you must have the courage to throw away the other.
And he threw away Chikura.
But the more he chases Akabane, the farther she runs.
In the end, she says she likes me.
This is bad.
Because of me, Besshii will lose two important people.
This isn't the time for a party.
What, it's open?
Tenchou, since tomorrow is the party,
I'm going to buy Ritz crackers.
Can I take the day off?
Stop, stop.
Are you okay, Touyama?
I'm okay.
I'll do it again, so watch.
Okay!
What? Isn't there an extra dancer?
That's impossible.
With Besshii, there's 5.
1 2 3 4 5
6?
What?
Okay, then start the music.
I have something to tell you.
What?
Did you ever have espresso?
Espresso is completely different from regular coffee!
A small amount of pressured hot water concentrates the essence of the beans.
That's why you drink it from a small cup.
What are you talking about?
You!
You love one woman so much that you've lost sight of how much strength you need.
You're using too much pressure!
Aren't these moves different?
Do you understand? Coffee is a delicate drink.
Even if you add a lot of pressure, it won't become espresso.
You'll only be left with bitter memories.
Am I wrong?
Listen.
I say this from my life, my experience, and...
l know! You don't have to tell me!
Even if you don't say anything,
I know it best myself!
But there's nothing I can do!
Get me a marker, quick!
No, no!
That's Tenchou!
What are you doing?
What's your goal?
I'm just trying to serve delicious coffee to-
Be quiet, you fake Samaritan!
Fake Samaritan?
I also have something to say.
You have no groove!
In terms of dance,
you're only repeating the steps that you've memorized.
There's no appeal.
There's no energy or emotion or thrill!
None at all!
Dance is outside my field of expertise.
You like Akabane, right?
I love her too.
But you don't even try to stand on the same stage as me!
Before talking about customers and coffee, focus on yourself!
Are you listening, Tenchou?
I say this from my life, my experience, and my soul.
Act from your heart.
That's groove!
That's emotion.
I'm stupid.
I'm really stupid.
Besshii is right.
I said those things because I'm afraid of letting Akabane in.
The time is 7:26.
It's morning.
I have to prepare.
This is oil-based.
This is the worst.
Today is December 24. Christmas Eve.
If you don't have plans yet, there's still time.
Get with it!
Everyone is looking forward to the party.
I can't get depressed.
No one is coming.
Why?
It was supposed to be at 8.
Akabane.
It's hard to call her.
Then Shinobu.
What?
Tomorrow is the party...
Day off?
Can I take the day off?
Take the day off?
How weird.
We're having a party here, so it's weird to take the day off.
Could it be?
No one's here.
The woman in red.
I thought it was here.
It's not here?!
You're so funny.
Congratulations!
Why?
Never mind. Come on, walk down the world's shortest aisle!
Thank you.
In one sense, it's a huge surprise.
When I think about it, no one said anything about having it here.
What a great way to leap to conclusions.
Hey, sing something.
They must be having fun there.
You won't sing?
But I can't just go uninvited.
Then I'll sing.
Where's Tenchou?
Shinobu, where's Funakoshi?
Oh, he said he'd be in Kanazawa for two hours for a drama.
That's so Funakoshi.
Yay!
I'm taking a picture.
Cheese.
Get me in there too.
Okay.
I better be in there.
Smile.
Bye, then.
Doigaki's daughter came?
You came.
My mom told me to come check it out.
It's not here. It's at Shinjuku's 2nd block.
Thank you.
I'll take you there.
I'm alone again.
Thank you.
It's not from me.
What?
It's from Manhattan's Tenchou.
Where is he?
Oh!
No one invited him?
If you don't invite him, who else will?
Oops.
Who?
~ORIGINAL PRESENT~
Manhattan
Cafe
Dad.
Hm?
I don't need any more moms,
so make her the last.
Aya.
Take care of my dad.
I will.
Lots of ingredients!
Put on "Bohemian."
Someone put on "Bohemian."
Where's Akabane?
It's 2-4-A-6
That's why I told you to take the highway.
How long have you been driving?
3 years?
30.
Liar!
Get in the right lane!
This is so irritating.
What are you doing?
Besshii.
Nobuko.
No. He'll wake up.
Then let's go to a hotel.
What?
I made reservations for us.
The suite room at the Royal Ritz.
I won't go.
Why?
One sheep.
Two sheep.
I want to be with Tenchou.
I'd rather be here than go to some hotel I don't even know.
I don't get it.
I've dated a lot of women,
but you're the first that's like this.
Every year on Christmas, I stay in a hotel with a good night view.
New Year's is Hawaii or Guam.
For her birthday, I give her a bouquet of roses.
I only know that method.
That's all I can do.
But for me to lose to a caterpillar like him...
I can't understand it.
How pitiful.
You called me pitiful.
But I'm sorry.
I like him.
What about me?
I was mistaken.
Mistaken?
I'm sorry.
I mistakenly liked you.
What.
That's cruel.
I like you this much.
I'm trying this hard to get you to like me.
Uncool.
This is really uncool.
This is the height of uncool.
I want to forget this uncoolness along with you.
Don't forget me.
It's not my fault I was mistaken.
Then,
it's time for a penalty game.
What?
Come here.
No!
Nobuko.
What?
I love you.
Stop it! Don't do this!
Noburin!
Stop!
Sorry!
The shooting just ended!
I'm still in Kanazawa.
Good work!
Where should I go?
Just a minute.
Funakoshi said he's going to come now.
He doesn't need to.
We're down to only a few people.
What? No way.
Please talk to him.
No, don't wanna.
Fine, I get it.
Everyone come to Kanazawa. I'll pay for the taxis.
Hello?
I'm hanging up.
What were you doing?
Hi. Everyone was late, so we couldn't wait.
Oh, it's snowing?
No, it's not.
Sorry.
Doigaki, Emoto, Congratulations on Your Marriage
Oh.
I didn't think he was the type for parties.
CONGRATULATIONS
It looks like he was after all.
Doigaki...
What?
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Emoto.
Take care of your body.
Shinobu.
Thank you for always helping me.
Chikura.
I'm looking forward to the finale.
Funakoshi couldn't come today due to work,
but keep working hard, okay?
Bessho.
Um.
You're really cool.
Thank you.
Akabane.
Yes.
Tenchou is blushing.
Um.
Manhattan came this far
because of all of you.
What?
What about me?
Be quiet.
Thank you very much.
Cheers.
Isn't this bitter?
Sorry, I've never made coffee before.
It can't be helped.
No, it can't.
He's the Tenchou.
Oh, snow!
It's snowing!
Then I'll see you all tomorrow here.
At Manhattan.
Good night, Shinobu.
Good night.
We won't be sleeping.
Good night.
Akabane, please stay here.
What?
This is a present for Tenchou.
Here.
No way?
Merry Christmas!
Don't go back to sleep!
