Everyone says my papa is weird.
If anyone praises Mama, he gets super happy.
He ends up doing all sorts of things for people.
But, if anyone insults Mama, he gets super angry.
It causes a lot of trouble, so it's tiring.
But I think it's mysterious.
They got married because they wanted to be together forever.
Why is it so weird for Papa to love Mama so much.
My papa won't even look at other women.
He lives only to make Mama happy. No man in Japan loves his wife more!
Mama... Mama!
Everyone, wake up! It's time for breakfast!
- Good morning, Mama. - Good morning.
Want me to help?
Sure. Could you start the coffee?
Gotcha.
- 'Morning. - Good morning
Okaasan, did you wash my shirt?
It's by the sofa. I ironed it for you.
Thanks. Man, I'm hungry!
Bread again?
Mama, I can't find my math book!
Hey, it's right here.
- What a relief. - You're so scatterbrained.
Hurry up and eat.
Papa, if you don't hurry up you'll be late!
I can't find my wallet.
Really? I made sure to put it in your pocket.
In here?
- Coffee, coffee. - I know, I know. Here.
- Where're my glasses? - They're over there. I'll get them.
You can't do anything without Mama around.
- Why don't you cook for yourself sometime? - Yeah
There are lots of stay at home dads nowadays.
You guys shouldn't let her spoil you too much either.
- Why don't you try being a little nicer to Mama? - Yeah.
C'mon, if you guys don't start eating you really will be late.
- Oh, crap! - Akira, the way you eat is so messy...
- Be quieter during meals. - Yeah!
- Geez, I know that!
This isn't right.
This isn't the way things are.
Papa...
Yuki! Akira!
Kaoru!
Kaoru!!
Mama... Mama!
You scared me, passing out like that...
I'm sorry.
- Excuse me. - Come in.
How are you feeling?
Um... why am I...
You haven't slept much for the past 2 or 3 days, have you? You also haven't been eating much.
For the time being, take a few days and rest.
I'm sorry for always causing you so much trouble.
I've become used to it after moving in next door.
I'll see you later.
You heard about my condition?
About them having to take one of my breasts, too?
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I'm sorry.
The kids are worried too. They were here until just a few minutes ago.
Hey... do they all know about it now?
I only told them it was exhaustion from overwork.
Then... could you keep it secret for a little longer?
What?
Tell them they don't have to come see me, too.
Why? Everyone's worried...
I haven't come to terms with it myself...
I don't know what sort of face I should show in front of them.
- But... - Please.
- Mama... - Please, Papa.
Dare Yori mo Mama wo Aisu ep 10
Did it seem like a joke when we were talking?
I want to stay intoxicated with your straightforward image.
If I say a certain word, don't you see, you'll start shining all at once.
That's the way I imagine it!
I'll let only you ride, I'll let only you ride...
At the speed of a rocketing comet...
We'll go far away, farther and farther away.
Let's search for stars together.
I'll let only you ride, I'll let only you ride.
Like a meteor shower of dreams...
That's why we're going far away, farther and farther away.
I wonder if you realized it as I said it?
We have an entire sky within us.

That's how it is, so, I guess for the next 2 or 3 days...
If she takes it easy for the next few days, she'll be fine. So, you guys...
Don't have to worry about Mama, okay? So, just relax, okay?
What's that face for?
Really?
What?
Papa... your voice is wavering pretty badly today.
There's something strange about the way you're talking, like you're fidgeting.
No I'm not.
So, why can't we go see her?
If you guys go visit her, she won't get a chance to rest.
There's something fishy about this, don't you think?
Yeah. Are you sure you're telling us everything?
Don't worry. She'll be better after she rests for a few days. She'll be home soon.
Really?
Oh, yeah!
You went on a date with Tomo-chan the other day, right Kaoru?
- Really? - Tell us about it. Have fun?
Yeah. We had a good time.
You're getting pretty cheeky!
Have you told her you liked her yet?
No way!
Why not?
There's no need for me to say it. Besides, it's embarassing.
I think you should express your feelings to the person you love quickly.
Hey Oneechan, how are things going with Yamashita-san?
Even Pinko-san said that "he seems like a nice guy, why aren't you going out yet?"
Stop it. There's no way a guy like that could become the object of my affections.
And, he's getting ready for an audition right now, so he's really busy writing new jokes.
I bet you really like him.
No way.
That's what I think.
He has no backbone, so as soon as he gets in front of people he self-destructs. That idiot.
Aside from that, he's lacking some sort of unique gimmick that'll make him popular.
You're like his manager, Oneechan.
Are you sure you don't like Yamashita-san, Oneechan?
I'm sure, already! Besides, how's it going with you?
Actually, I'm thinking of going on a date with Satou-sensei today.
Do you like Sensei?
I dunno.
Then why are you going to date her?
Pinko-san pinched me.
What does that mean?
He told me to not overthink things and worry about the other person much.
If I found someone I should just go ahead a date her.
If I don't do that, I won't ever find a person that completes me.
Like Okaasan and Otousan's relationship.
Aren't you lucky to have Mama, Papa?
You really are happy aren't you, Papa?
- Good morning, Satou-sensei! - Good morning. Did you do your homework?
Yes!
- Sensei, good morning! - Oh, Kamon-kun, good morning!
Let's do our best this semester!
Sensei, please treat my brother kindly!
What?
What are you talking about?
I'll be cheering for you.
Please don't tell anyone else! I'd be in so much trouble if someone found out!
Oh, but please don't repeat that to your brother!
I don't want to make him think I don't like him!
Omigosh! Please pretend you didn't hear anything, Kamon-kun!
That's pretty serious...
- Good morning! - `Morning.
Hey, do you want to go somewhere again this Sunday?
W-what? Are you mad about something?
No.
D-did I say something weird?
- That's not it. - Then what is it?
Didn't I tell you the other day that my parents are divorcing?
Yeah.
I'm going to have to transfer schools.
No way. T-transfer?
Where?
Hokkaido. That's where my mom's family is.
Ah! Kamon-kun!
Mama, how are you feel--- What are you doing?
What are you doing, Mama?
I have to finish this.
Didn't Tsunami-san tell you to take it easy for the next few days?
- I'll be finished in a little bit! - Stop.
Geez, treating someone like an invalid...
That's because you are one.
Please... just do as the doctors say. Okay, Mama?
Oh, yeah. I brought peaches. Want to eat one?
No.
Don't say that. Pinko-san's mother sent them. See?
They're pretty big. I'll peel it for you.
You seem to be having fun, Papa.
It's been a long time since I could spend time with you in the afternoon, so I was kinda happy...
Mama... when you get better, will try to take more time off?
You've been working nonstop for a long time.
So just take it easy... and let's travel.
Actually... I've been keeping this secret, but...
My dream is to go on a cruise around the world with you. To do that...
I've been secretly saving up for it.
Let's go. Okay?
Would you go home, please?
You don't understand anything, Papa.
What do you mean?
Just go home!
Mama...
To all of our customers, we are now starting a special time service!
Excuse me, excuse me. Hello, I am the firefly's light, Madono Yuki!
Today we have many beautiful audience members!
We have a french doll, a kiku-ningyo, and a straw voodoo doll.
Why am I a voodoo doll? Huh? Why?
Sorry, Obachan. It's a joke.
Joke? It's not very funny.
Sorry. Um... A Chinese person broke a bone. It went "bakin!"
- It's supposed to be "Peking." It's a big city in China... - This is terrible. Let's go.
Geez, how boring.
Nowadays among young people, the fashion is to show your underPANts.
I have decided to follow this trend!
See! With two slices of bread, I have PAN--
Huh? I'm short one.
Hey! When did you--
I'm sorry.
Don't run off!
Please let me go! I knew I'm not cut out for this!
What are you talking about? I went to a lot of trouble to check your jokes and gather everyone for you!
I've always gotten nervous in front of an audience!
Then why are you even trying to be a comedian?
That smile on your face is creeping me out.
I'm just remembering when I was a third grader who, up to that point no one paid attention to...
When I made a weird face, everyone laughed at me!
Weird face?
- It looked like this. - I can do that too.
You're good.
I couldn't forget the happiness I felt in that moment, so...
I was so happy that people looked at me and laughed!
I could be so happy from that!
What are you going off into your own world for?
And if that's the case, if the person I loved laughed too...
That smile...
I'd want to look at it for my whole life!
I think Papa said something like that once...
I knew we were bound together by destiny!
What?
Yuki-san.
Don't get carried away in the moment!
Bravo!
Thanks for your time!
You know some unusual places, don't you?
Pinko-san... I mean, a friend brought me here once and I liked it, so...
Is that person a woman?
Well... It's not quite accurate to say "woman" but "man" doesn't work either...
M-my best friend, anyway. We have a lot of the same interests.
Oh, yeah, what kind of music do you like?
What do you like?
I like popular stuff, like Amuro-chan and Hikki.
Me too! Wow, we match perfectly!
What songs of Amuro-chan's do you like?
Um... I like... uh...
Y'know, you don't have to try so hard to match up with me.
I'm not doing that!
Sorry.
- I'm so sorry! - It's fine.
- Sorry to keep you waiting. - I'm going to the restroom!
Thanks.
Geez, this's tiring...
Ouch! Geez!
Mama! Mama! Wake up! We're going to be late for our beauty treatments!
Be quiet! I fell asleep because you were so late getting here!
Mama... your bare face is scary. If you look like that all the time, you'll never get a boyfriend!
You're still depressed and pining after Akira-chan!
Don't talk about old news like that! C'mon we're gonna be late! C'mon, hurry up!
Yappo.
This might be destiny.
Why don't you try again?
Fine, whatever. Go ahead without me.
Are you going to work now?
Yeah...
I wonder if it's over already....
I'm so sorry!
Oh? Are you guys on a date?
Well, yeah...
- This is... - Oh, no, no!
There's no need to introduce me!
This is my best friend, Pinko-san.
He's always listening to my problems. He also introduced me to this place.
Oh! The one you said wasn't a woman or a man!
Right, I'm a crossdresser!
Y'know, Akira-chan's always been very popular, but he's never seriously dated anyone before!
But, it seems like he's had a change of heart. He's a great guy and very sweet, so make him happy okay?
I'll be cheering for you too!
Please be happy!
Pinko-san!
Gosh, this feels great! I've heard these things work well!
- Thanks a lot. - It's no problem.
You haven't eaten much.
I just don't seem to have an appetite.
Well, I know compared to Papa's cooking it isn't great, but...
Itadakimasu.
I'm home.
- Welcome home. - You're back already? Didn't you have a date?
Yeah, I did...
Why are you sighing like that? Did something happen with you too?
With me too?
Look! Kaoru and Papa are pretty depressed too.
What happened, Otousan?
Nothing.
Everything's fine. I'm full of energy.
Did something happen at the hospital with Mama?
Nothing happened.
I'm just a little lonely because Mama's not at home.
What about you, Kaoru?
Nothing's wrong!
Your voice is wavering just like Otousan's.
Oh, be quiet. How did things go with Satou-sensei, Oniichan?
I wonder what it means to fall in love with someone.
What are you talking about now?
Geez, stop it! You three are really irritating me!
You're so lucky to have no worries, Oneechan.
I have worries too, you know.
Really?
I saw Yamashita's new act, but it's all garbage. He's doomed to failure.
It must be nice to be so optimistic.
What does that mean?
Crap! It started raining! Papa, we haven't gotten the laundry yet!
Hurry, hurry...
Hello, Kamon residence.
Papa, it's Tsunami-san. She's at the hospital.
Speaking.
I understand. Sorry for the trouble.
What's wrong, Papa?
Mama disappeared from the hospital.
What do you mean?
Papa...
Because it's popular among young people to show their underpants---
With two slices of bread, I have PANTSU!
Mama, where are you?
Please, please call me.
Okay? I'm begging you, please call!
Papa... why didn't you tell us about Mama's sickness?
Yeah... Even if she begged you not to tell us...
I'm sorry.
Hey Papa... where could Mama have gone?
- We have to go look for her. - Look for her where?
Yamashita... It's from Yamashita.
Hello? What's up?
Oh, um, it's not that big a deal but...
Then tell me later, I'm busy right now.
Sorry. Um, I saw your mom just a little bit ago...
She was wearing the clothes Pinko-san gave her, and seemed to be in a hurry. Bye.
Wait! Where was she going?
I dunno...
You're no help! Where are you right now?
Hey, Papa.
Did something happen?
Do you know anything, Otousan?
- Yamashita! - Yamashita-san!
Hey, which way did she go?
That way!
That way? Then, shall we split up and look for her?
Why don't you wait at the hospital, Papa?
But...
She might come back.
- Okay, I'll leave it to you guys. - Let's go!
I'm sure...
It's my fault Mama disappeared.
Today, she suddenly said to me...
"Papa, you don't understand anything."
Breast cancer is a very sensitive disease for women.
They think things like, "If they take my breast, I won't be able to go to the onsen anymore..."
Or, "The man I love won't see me as a woman anymore..."
Even if she didn't think those things, she doesn't like to show her weaknesses.
I'm sure she's thinking about a lot of stuff right now, like what to do from now on.
But that's why having a family's support right now is so critical.
For her not to succumb to the cancer, her family...
And your love are absolutely critical.
So, cheer up. You shouldn't be making a gloomy face like that.
Yeah...
[And night turns into day...]
What's wrong?
Has Mama contacted you?
Didn't I tell you guys to get some sleep?
There's no way we could sleep...
Mama was doing this much work...
I wonder if I ever looked after her properly...
I may not have understood anything after all...
Let me see that.
What's wrong?
Maybe...
- I'm sorry, but could you go faster? - Yes sir.
- Papa! - Hurry, hurry!
Stop your excuses!
She's here! It's Mama!
I now present pictures number 6 and 7.
You're saying that these burns and bruises are just "home discipline?"
Stop making such ridiculous excuses.
When a child receives this kind of abuse from a parent, as an adult...
They use this sort of violence against others!
Children who are loved by their parents grow up to love others as well!
Why doesn't anyone in the world understand that violence and war don't solve any problems?
My husband stays at home, in my place, but he's overflowing with love for me and our children!
He only thinks about loving people on all 365 days of the year.
If all people were like that, don't you think the world would be a more peaceful place?
Don't you think that that world is tens or hundreds of times better than this one?
Objection! This has nothing to do with this case.
I agree. Assistant prosecutor, in your excitement, you've started to talk about your husband again.
I'm sorry, I just...
I'm finished.
I will now listen to the cross examination...
- Kaoru, Akira, what do you want to eat? - Anything's fine.
- Why don't we have Mama's favorite, hamburg? - Let's do that.
You should've just told us you were going to a trial...
I'm sorry.
Everyone was really worried because you disappeared like that.
I'm sorry.
I thought you might be worried about your illness, but...
I was relieved to see you acting normal.
You were awesome, Mama.
There's nothing awesome about it.
The reason I left the hospital wasn't because of the trial.
I'm just scared of the cancer.
I was scared of the surgery.
When I thought that Papa might begin to hate me after I lost a breast...
I got so nervous and upset that I just wanted to disappear somewhere.
I thought if Papa was going to force himself to be nice to me, it'd just be better to break up.
I had a dream the other day...
In the dream...
I was a housewife, and Papa worked.
Everyone seemed so happy.
That's when I thought...
Letting Papa spoil me...
...and leaving all of the home stuff to him...
Maybe that was mistake.
Being spoiled by Papa and causing him so much worry...
I haven't done anything for you all.
As a mother or a wife...
I'm a terrible person.
That's not tr--
Who are you making happy by saying that?
I don't know what kind of dream you saw, Mama, but...
Whatever anyone says, I'm the happiest man in the world.
Okay?
25 years ago, when Mama decided to work and I became a stay-at-home dad...
Didn't we promise to overcome anything together? Right?
So don't disappear like that ever again. Don't leave my side.
As long as you're working the job you love...
As long as the kids live life to its fullest every day...
Everyone needs you, Mama.
Mama, look over here. Look at me.
Look right at me.
I don't want you to face this by yourself.
So... don't overthink things unnecessarily....
Mama, have your surgery.
And promise me you won't worry about things by yourself.
Papa's right.
Anyway, why didn't you tell us the truth? Can you not trust us?
I'm sorry...
Papa, I'm sorry.
I want to go somewhere. Let's invite the neighbor and go together, okay?
Let's go, Mama.
[New Comedian Audition]
Next contestant, please!
Please come out, whoever's next!
Hello! I'm Firefly's Light Madono Yuki!
Yamashita-san!
Wow! There are lots of beautiful audience members today!
From there, we have a french doll, a kiku-ningyo, and a straw voodoo doll!
They say when a Chinese person breaks a bone, it goes "Peking!"
I'm kinda nervous, so I'm going to take a cigarette break.
Oh my, this isn't a cigarette (tabako), but an egg (tamago)!
Excuse me.
Don't run away!
I'll kill you if you take one step! I'll never speak to you again!
Um... I don't want to be killed, so I'll continue.
Red makigami, blue makigami, chibaki!
That wasn't funny at all! Go home!
What?
Moron! Don't run away!
What do you want me to do?
Think of something yourself!
Even though you say that...
If you have to worry, you have time to do something!
I know. I'm sorry.
Geez.
Well, that person said to do something, so I will...
Don't cry!
I don't want to! Really!
They say that it's a popular fashion among young people to show their underpants, so um...
I decided to follow along. With two pieces of bread, I have PANTSU!
One more time!
PANTSU!
Hey Mama...
Isn't Yamashita-san embarassed?
How come he's trying so hard?
That's the way he lives. He isn't embarassed.
You're way too nervous!
You were soaked with sweat as soon as you got out there. I got hot just looking at you!
- Nice work today, Yamashita-san. - Thanks.
I bet you're thirsty.
- I'll have orange juice! - Thank you.
U-um... what did you think?
Oh, um...
It wasn't very funny.
I knew it.
- Please have one. - Oh, thank you...
But I felt kind of energized afterward...
I thought I should try harder too.
Me too!
Hmm? Try harder at what?
That's a secret.
- What? - Tomo-chan, Tomo-chan!
- Oh! It's Tomo-chan! - I'm not saying!
- Tell me, Kaoru! - He's embarassed!
I'm very sorry about before. The kids also got really mad at me.
I knew it.
There are times I think that no matter how strong a person looks...
They just need to trust their way of life.
Insomnia from worrying, or wanting to run from your problems are perfectly normal.
But, unlike me, you always have Papa with you.
But Tomo-chan is your favorite!
And such wonderful children...
You're right.
Compared to you, I'm still being spoiled.
I'll have the surgery.
Please take care of me from now on.
Why did you call me out here?
Um...
Y'know...
What're you excited about?
Just shut up and listen to me!
I... I lik---
I lik--
What are you guys doing?
Were you trying to confess your love to her because she's transfering soon?
How nice! Just ignore us and keep going!
"I.. I lik--"
Shut up! This has nothing to do with you guys!
You like making fun of me?
Stop it!
What are you guys doing? Stop it, Kamon-kun!
Pinko-san, sorry to keep you waiting.
Why'd you invite me out?
I thought you might like to go to Amuro-chan's concert with me.
Why? Shouldn't you go with your girlfriend?
Well, we're best friends, and this is the sort of thing that's best enjoyed with other fans. Right?
Sorry. I won't go.
I mean, I can't go. I can't see you anymore.
Why not?
I decided to go back to the farm.
What?
My mother hasn't been feeling well since she went home.
She said she was going to stop growing peaches and sell the land and the house, everything.
My brother and sister say that that's the best thing to do, but...
I just can't stand the thought of losing those delicious peaches.
So... I told everyone that I would take over.
Already.
What do you want? I'm in the middle of work, here.
It'll only take a sec.
Geez...
I was able to do my best and not run away the other day thanks to you, Yuki-san.
So...
Please stay by my side and scold me from now on!
No matter how tough it is, if I'm with you I can bear it.
I want you to point out my flaws.
So, from now on, I want us to be like we're in a three-legged race...
Or like we share the same body...
With the feeling like, "If you go down this path, you'll understand!" or something...
I can't stand it anymore. Basically, you want to marry Yuki-chan, right?
Yes!
And your feelings are very strong, right?
Yes, well...
Then why don't you say something? I don't know who this guy is, but... Here.
Please.
Sorry. I can't.
What?
I can't marry you.
No way!
I'm sorry!
Hey, Papa...
Here.
[Surgery Release/Consent Form]
Let's do our best from now on.
Okay?
I'll be counting on you, Papa.
Do you want something? I'll go get it.
I have one request...
What?
This.
Will you read it?
Sure.
Okay, I'm starting.
"Looking at his wife sleeping in bed, the husband thought..."
"Even though they had been married close to 30 years and many things had happened..."
"There was one thing he wanted to ask her."
"He asked his wife, who had just woken up..."
"Do you love me?"
"Instead of answering, his wife nodded her head quietly and with conviction."
"Feeling an excitement without limit, the husband..."
"Felt that now was the only time he could say the things he never could before."
"He held his wife."
What did the husband say after that?
"If you love me..."
"I have no dissatisfaction with my life."
If you love me...
I have no dissatisfaction with my life.
We're going to be imposing a lot on you from now on...
Please take care of her.
Our surgeons are quite skilled.
She'll be fine as long as you're here, Papa.
That's not true.
I'm more scared for myself.
If something goes wrong in surgery...
If she died, I don't...
I don't know what I'd do.
Tsunami-san.
Please save Mama.
Please save Mama. Please.
Please.
Don't cry, Papa.
There's a 50% chance that there will be no problems.
Go home... Just go home!
There's no one in this world that matches better than you.
Everyone, please save me.
I'm sorry.
