I'm Poor Seka-chan.
At any cost, I want to buy my cute daughter a piano.
That's why I'm here today.
I'm sorry, what do you mean with 'Poor Seka-chan'?
It means 'Second Chance',
you remarried and became poor, right?
Yes.
According to your letter, please take a look at this,
Just now, your family consists of 6 members, who are
your new wife,
and then your daughter in 2nd year of middle school,
and the 3 sons of your wife's previous marriage.
the eldest is in 1st year of high school, the second in 2nd of middle
and the third son in nursery school. These 6 people,
even if it's rude to say,
are living in a deteriorated apartment.
Well, even if we live normally
as we are 6 people we're poor.
But even...
(with Kansai dialect)
But even being this poor the woman I've remarried
is one that spends the money wildly.
For that reason, before paycheck, at our place we always have dried sardines.
Dried sardines
Yesterday sardines, today sardines.
Again sardines?
It's inevitable, it's before paycheck day.
That's so stingy.
If you think it's stingy then, you try sticking to our house budget.
It's not like I like being stingy,
but no one wants to do it, so it's inevitable.
They're burning.
At least grill the fish in front of you decently.
- I'm back! - Welcome. You're late.
Well, just a bit.
Ritsu! It's burning!
- Kimi-chan, I'm back. - Welcome back.
Non-chan, I'm back.
- What's this? - Ah...wait...
Oh! Again buying in a bargain, Haru-san?
- You're wrong, it's not that. - Why did you buy this?
"I want this, I also want that."
"I'll put all the money that I have."
"After all, it's a waste of money to buy cheap things."
It sounds like Haruko.
Bargain sale​s are for the poor.
Even if we are this poor now,
before I remarried, we had a nicer living.
My daughter used to play the piano everyday.
Even at recitals she was told she had qualities.
She was praised by her teacher.
However, we had to sell the piano for our wedding.
My current wife said many unreasonable hard things
such as we didn't need such luxury item.
And we had to sell it.
Non-chan, that's noisy. What's it?
But, my daughter told me this,
"Daddy, I'm fine, even if I can't play the piano anymore."
"Daddy, remarry, and be happy."
Isn't that a rare and sweet daughter nowadays?
However, to such a sweet girl, my current wife
cunningly ill-treats her again and again.
It's unforgivable, such a mother!
Plus, in my apartment...
Huh?
I'm back! Today was full of work too.
Dinner will be ready soon.
- I'll take a bath first. - The water must be ready by now.
Oh, thanks.
My daughter has to do it all,
and her sons don't do a thing.
They just lie down and watch TV.
If my daughter happens to burn a little the sardines
even if it's just burned on one side,
they'd hit her, kick her, throw her down and during that, they'd scold her very bad.
- For us it's the opposite. - True.
- Let's have dinner first. - What? We're watching that.
We always
when having dinner we turn off the TV, right?
Dinner? Just go and take a bath first.
Today is hot, I'll eat like this.
But it's winter!
Oh, no way! Dad!
No, Kimiko, give me that. Let's have a bath together.
No, no, let me go.
...you should listen to your parent.
Noda's residence. Hello.
Oh! Wataru!
I'll be able to go home this weekend.
Okay. Hey, how are you doing? Fine?
Are you eating dinner properly?
Yeah, although I'm always exhausted after the club activities.
Amazing!
Yes! Thank you! Thank you!
It's bad.
Hello? Hey! What's going on?
Hello? Haruko?
When did I bully my stepchild?
I...just...
Scolding her harshly?
Just think of that as something funny.
Everyone watching this will see me as an evil stepmother
isn't that right?
- Well... I wouldn't know... - I've been exposed! Eh!
I...I have a reason. I have a reason for this lie...I swear.
Sh!!
An all time NG word.
Please answer four names of prime ministers from the past.
Eh. Susuki Zenkou and...
Now, start.
Hurry, hurry.
Murayama...Murayama-san, right? And, another is Hashimoto-san...
Then, before that... how was it...
Hosokawa, right! Hosokawa! Come on... just pass
There are many others, like...like Miyazawa, Nakasone, Tanaka...
We're sorry.
Well... I couldn't get them so quickly...
But, anyway, after all it's just a game, just a game.
- What are you laughing at? - No...I...
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me.
That's all you want to say?
Oh...help me...Kimiko...
I'm out of this, you did this to yourself.
Non-chan..
I'm also out of this.
Wataru-kun...Wataru...
Wataru, hurry up and get back.
They are doing it again.
You broke it! The picture from our wedding!
- Ouch!! - It's bad luck!
Waaa I give up, I give up!
Second Chance
We're back
She's really unreasonable. Aaargh! I have a bruise.
You really have it hard, right?
Even after all that uproar for your second marriage, you're in this condition...
I knew it before getting married.
Is she that great?
When she comes this way,
then, I go this way, right? then she'll strike again this way.
But you can't avoid here, there, in a second, she'll do this.
Ah! That's why, wait, I told you, didn't I?
Women are scary!
Sorry, about ignoring your advice.
Finally, you've realized it.
After all, a man is the best to understand another man!
Noda-san! I'm happy.
Attention! I'll introduce you a new employee.
Okay, please come in!
Starting today, she'll be working with us.
She's Hanamura Rumiko-chan.
Well, for the time being, she'll be a contract employee​, but
unlike someone else, I'm sure she'll become a permanent worker soon.
I'm Hanamura. Nice to meet you.
Okay!
Show her around and the ceremonial hall.
- Yes. - Yes, yes, yes.
So, you're a contract employee? Me too.
So, let's go.
- Oh! Ouch! - Noda-san.
Geez, that guy! What he thinks about life?
Good work.
Was he going to receive money?
10 thousand yen? Does it mean 300 yen a day?
Thank you.
That means Noda-san's evil intentions were showing.
Okay, stop there. How is it?
What's this? You can still see the rod, don't you?
And what about this sloppy winding?
This won't be accepted like this.
And you know the national test is next week.
Even if it's not this year, I'll pass it some day.
Is that so?
And I was thinking about rising your salary if you pass.
But, if that is what you think, I won't.
- Wait, is that true? - Yeah.
If I pass it, you'll do it?
Will you try?
Yes! Yes! One more chance!
- Take your chance. - Thank you!
- One more chance. - Chance!
Today we have many couples having their ceremony.
The strange thing is that we see tears and also laughs.
We get to see many different types of human relationships.
The protagonists are the bride and the groom but
there are a lot of people that rejoice with them, parents, relatives,
and also friends are present. It's a moment to celebrate.
To celebrate.
So, now, the exchange of rings.
To have a job that assists them in such a big moment in their lives
makes me feel grateful.
You are proud of your work, right?
Noda-san.
Oh, well, I...
I respect people who work with a purpose in life.
You said respect... it's no that much...
Sorry. Sorry!
Ah! Sorry! Sorry!
It's 'I'm sorry'!
Oh! Don't move!
If you need to practice use a wig.
Don't say that, you said you'd cooperate with me.
Right, Non-chan?
If I pass the hairdresser test I'll buy lots of toys for you, right?
- I can't wait! - Yeah.
Kimiko-chan, I'll also buy new clothes for you.
You don't have to worry about me.
You do not have to hold back Kimiko-chan.
I don't need anything, please leave me alone.
I can see through that lie.
Here, here 3 thousand yen, here 3 thousand yen, okay, thank you.
- Here! - Here, cheers!
3 thousand yen.
- Here. - Yes, "Sharam Q​".
Shut up! Noda!
- I don't have any. - What?!
I don't have!
Oh, my part.
No, no, Hanamura-san, you don't have to. This is for you.
Then, it will be Noda-san's share.
Eh? No, you don't have to...
It's fine. He has teach me many things today.
I'll pay you back once I got my payment.
So, Noda-san, are you married?
He remarried, a year and a half ago.
Is that so, are you remarried?
- What's more, both of them had children. - Children?
Right, now he's the respectable father of 4 children.
I wonder what his daughter thinks...
Oh, it's the song I asked!
Let's sing together, Noda-san!
Oh... I? I?
"I don't want this lonely night"
"This lonely night is boring"
"This lonely night I want to see you"
"This lonely night I cry cry cry"
"This woman you don't meet twice"
"I fell crazily in love with her, from her"
"I was able to escape"
"If I disappear, I wonder if someone would cry"
"Sometimes, before going to bed, I have"
"this silly thoughts."
"It is better to be deceived than to deceive them."
"What a lie, ah"
"Lonely is anyone lonely?"
Are you okay?
Sorry, tonight I felt like wanting to drink.
It doesn't matter if you're married, right?
Even if you have children, it doesn't matter.
The headache is terrible.
Good Morning.
Good Morn...
I thought last night you'd reconcile with Haru-san.
She was waiting to have dinner with you.
- Is that truth? - I don't know.
As usual,
even thought I always tell him to put the dirty clothes in the basket.
What's wrong? Hangover?
- Softly... - EH?
That's a good one, going drinking before payday.
Sorry.
Oh no, it's fine, do not hold back.
Because you're earning money.
Oh...Well.
What?
Today is the day Wataru-kun returns, right?
Today is my day-off.
I'll see to make something good.
Leave it to me.
Thanks for that.
- Where is the meat? - OUT!
5 seconds. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
WAIT!
First, Haruko-san's share. Here.
- Eh. - Old man, that's favoritism.
Move away. Here.
Yes. Hot.
- The taste? - Pretty good.
- Okay, seems good! - Thanks for the food!
Old man, don't take so much!
- The fastest takes more! - Damn.
- Here, this is for Wataru-san. - Thanks.
Noda-san, you've never done that for me.
Ritsu, are you still calling Kimiko 'Noda-san'?
It's just that I can't call her 'Kimiko', as you do.
So I was trying to call her 'Kimiko-chan' but...
If you keep grumbling you won't eat, hurry
the meat will be gone.
Oh! Non-chan! Ritsu, hurry! hurry!
I was the one who went through hardships to get this meat!
- You don't understand how hard it is. - I understand. You're great.
- Oh, that one is mine! - Eh? Is your name on it?
Then it says 'Wataru-san'.
Oh. Today is hot.
Yummy?
Acting so newlywed​.
Oh, Ritsu.
- Why always me? - Ritsu!
Noda's residence.
Eh? Yes! I'll call him now.
Father, is a person from your office.
Just when I'm so busy.
It's our chance!
Hello!
Oh...Yes.
I understand. Okay.
What is it?
It was a person from my workplace. I'm going to the station for a while.
- Well, be careful. - See you later.
Really! At this time with work...
Good evening!
I'm sorry.
Hanamura-san.
I'm really sorry about yesterday.
I drank too much.
No, it's fine. What is that?
Oh, this.
Onsen?
There is a training course in Tateshina onsen, this time, for contract employees.
From our company, that means Noda-san and me have to go.
The manager said we should read this carefully.
- So, that was it? - What?
No, it was because of this.
Sorry.
But, it's because we take the same train.
Oh, this.
Oh, thank you.
Just now, we were having a full family reunion after a long time.
We were eating Sukiyaki.
You're a good father, right?
No, nothing like that.
Then, I'll be leaving now.
Thank you.
If I could marry someone like you, Noda-san,
I'm sure I'll be happy.
So? I look good with this hair style, right?
Well...you see...
About the lady from the other night...
Oh, today, I have intensive training on curls.
You'll be out earlier, right? So, pick up Non-chan.
I'll be counting on you.
Okay, I got it! I'm leaving now.
- Have a nice day! - Wait! Father.
He just left.
It'll be soon. Stay calm.
Noda-san, your necktie...
Yes?
Your necktie is...
- Are you alright? Someone! Someone! - Ouch...
Come one, come on.
What are you doing? It's dangerous to be there...
Stop it! Stop!
Ah. Wait! Stop this! Ah.
What is going on?!
Oh, sorry, sorry.
Sorry. Sorry.
Noda!
Congratulations. Congratulations.
- Noda!! - Sorry.
It's 'I am sorr..' SHUT UP! Hanamura-kun, for the previous reception
- you were in charge of the waiting room, right? - Yes, what about it?
They have disappeared! The honeymoon's tickets!
- What? - Tickets?
Before the wedding reception we were talking about the honeymoon with my friends.
And here, I left the tickets here.
Hanamura-kun, did you notice it when cleaning up?
No.
The honeymoon is tomorrow. Why did you do this?
That's right.
We're deeply sorry.
Honeymoon happens once in a lifetime.
I'm really sorry!
If you let us take care of them one more time.
- Will you make it for the departure time tomorrow? - Well, we can make it on time, right?
It can't be...
Yes, hi, Nakajo, now I'm a little busy.
Yes, yes. It's fine. Right.
This was going to be a memory for life to us.
"Let's do a nice trip" we said...
Why did you do this?!
That's right.
I'll go look for them.
Yes, this is Shower.
Yes... please wait a moment.
- Haruko-san. Haruko-san. - Yes.
- You have a phone call. - Oh, okay.
Excuse me a moment.
It's from Non-chan's nursery school.
If it's not here nor in the waiting room maybe someone took it by mistake.
Let's look in all the places you went.
We've been looking for it so much, we won't find it now.
You can't give up. I'm sure they are somewhere.
It's enough.
Because of all this, I even got you into trouble, Noda-san.
To cause me trouble, there's no such thing.
Don't give up and let's look for them.
Yes.
That idiot, how could he forget?
- Then, follow me to your seats. - Yes.
What..what are you doing?
- Shut up! - We're just looking for something.
Noda-san, you're on the way.
- So, we're leaving. - Good work today.
If after all of this search we can't find them maybe it's impossible.
What?
Can these be the tickets?
You find them!!
- These? - These are them!
Good. I'm so glad.
Me too.
You...
When I went to the nursery school it was already closed...
Of course! What time do you think is now.
It's 10 o'clock. 10!
He's there.
Oh. I'm sorry.
Next Sunday is my exam.
I was planning practicing all night.
That's why I asked you to pick up Non-chan, isn't it?!
- Yes. - You don't understand?
The reason why I'm working so hard on this,
is because you're still a contract employee so we don't receive a bonus!
It's not up to me to become a permanent employee.
It is up to you!
It's because you don't take your job seriously that you still aren't one!
I do.
- Today, you see, - Stinks.
Ah, that must be the yakiniku.
I have some chewing gum...
I failed. Oh. I failed.
To remarry such a lame man...
You don't have consciousness that there are six people to support in the family!
I should not marry someone like you!
You don't have to say that much...
I didn't get any good for marrying you!
We have to live in this rotten apartment,
Working from morning till night, we didn't even make one trip,
we never had our honeymoon trip.
The worst, you're the worst partner I could have married.
What? If you have something to say, say it.
Enough, it's enough.
You're always like this.
I made a mistake by remarrying you.
You said it.
Didn't you say it first!
But I didn't mean it!
This is serious, today's fight.
What now...
Leave. Please leave now.
I do not want to see your face.
Okay, okay if you want me to leave. I'll leave.
I didn't think you were a woman who didn't get things.
Kimiko, we're leaving.
Leave alone. I'm not going.
Father, please wait.
The pride of a man,
if he's ask to leave, how can he beg to stay.
Wait, Haru-san.
- This is for real. - Then it is!
Wait, father!
What was a failure!
Where to go now...
What are we going to do? He really left.
Just leave him go.
How could he say he made a mistake.
Go to sleep! Non...
Don't eat his chewing gum!
Haru-san...
He'll return here. He doesn't have a place to go.
Maybe he has...
Noda? What the heck are you doing this late?
I'm staying with you tonight.
Don't come and say things out of nowhere.
I'm coming in.
Nakoto's wife, don't bother.
- Dear! - Honey, I'm sorry.
Oh! That room, you can't go inside!
I'm leaving now.
- Haru-san, did you see that necktie? - Necktie?
He didn't have that kind of stuff.
Surely he got it from a woman.
It's impossible. Let's go, Non-chan.
Haru-san, I saw him.
Eh?
He had lipstick marks in his shirt.
A woman also called him on the phone.
Then, then I got worried so I followed him
and he looked very friendly with her.
No way.
I'm sure, he said he was going training
but maybe he was actually going on a trip with that woman, Haru-san.
Someone gave him a tie?
Let me see.
To Noda-san: Thank you for all your help. Hanamura
Maybe Haruko's roughness in the end made him run to her.
Don't worry. It's impossible for that man to have another woman.
Shouldn't you go after him?!
I told you not to worry! You're too insistent.
Let's go, Non-chan.
This isn't looking good, right?
This isn't looking good. Haruko.
Good morning.
That necktie. You're wearing it.
- Does it look good? - Yes, very much.
Between these two, which one?
- I'll buy both. - Okay.
- Which number? - Let me see...2, it's 2!
Number 2, seats B and C.
Noda-san.
Are you happy being remarried?
I think it must be hard. There's also your wife's 3 sons.
Well...
Have you ever thought of breaking up?
No, about that...
Please tell me the truth.
You've thought at least about divorcing your wife, right?
Well, maybe I have a little, but even though she's tough she's also nice.
Noda-san, I need to ask you a favor.
What is it?
Please, meet my father.
Your father?!
First, it was lipstick then a phone call,
he stayed overnight, then the necktie. Finally, this morning the onsen trip.
If this is not an affair, what is having an affair!!
You don't care about saying all of that?
But Haru-san also saw them, both of them took the same train.
Even if it looks like it,
maybe there's a different reason for that that we didn't notice it.
I can't let that pass! Because it's Haru-san we're talking about.
Can you forgive him for having an affair with other woman, Wataru?
I didn't say that! That's your own thinking.
I just said that maybe it wasn't that bad.
Have you made the old man and Haruko break up?
I didn't intend to do that...
You might have not intend it, but it ended in that way!
I... I...
Why you end up weeping like a hysterical woman?
Hysterical woman?!
Didn't I tell you? Even if you're my elder brother I won't allow you to say that!
Everything you do seems feminine!
- You said it! You said it! - Why you keep doing it?
Damn it!
What are you doing!
- Stop... - Stop it.
- Stop... - I said stop it!
I'll think about what to do.
You don't get to have a saying on this.
This looks even worse.
Good work.
Father.
Noda-san, this is my father.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Noda.
For whose sake are you getting married?
If you're getting married, do it for your own sake.
Go ahead and cry.
It's better if you let it out.
Oh! You're doing naughty!
Haruko-san, do you hate me?
Please marry me.
I want to marry you, no matter what.
I want to be happy.
Father, after meeting Noda-san,
I finally realized about my true feelings.
What did you realize?
I decided I want to get married.
Marry? Wait a moment, please.
I...
I'm remarried.
- I heard it. - Eh?
And your wife has 3 children, that must be really hard.
- No, it's nothing like that. - Well, well, well.
When you live together, imperceptibly, you do have...
But, I don't have any intentions of breaking up with her.
My current wife,
after I proposed to her, she said,
this is not for anyone else,
I'm getting married because I want to be happy.
It's the same with me.
It's because I want to be happy that I want to marry.
But, I'm telling you, I...
Shibata-san! Miyuki-chan!
Shibata-san?
Who's Shibata-san?
Good morning.
Wataru! Haru-san is...
Non-chan! Non-chan!
Someone! Noda-san! Wataru!
Why are you screaming?
I'm going to Tateshina. Haruko.
Today is the hairdresser exam.
I see, so your father finally
accepted that you marry with Shibata-san.
It's thanks to you, Noda-san.
Even if I married someone who has a child, like you Noda-san
it can go well. You also make me believe that.
I'm really happy it went well.
Over there.
Haruko-san, what are you doing here?
Do you understand my feelings while I was heading here!
Say something!
Come.
I have nothing to say to you.
I'm also responsibly for this.
But, you know, I... I...
I don't want to break up with him.
Even with this face, with this belly coming out,
even if the inside of his head is empty,
even if he hangs around the house only with his pants,
even if he's been a contract employee for a million years and we don't get a bonus,
but, I...
I love him.
I've decided to be happy with this man.
...Mom!
Eh?
Miyuki-chan!
Who's that? Who?
Come here.
What are they doing?
I'm indebted with Noda-san.
We also want to become a happy family like Noda-san.
Gomora, you'll be Godzilla.
I don't want to do that now.
- Hey, Wataru! - Later, okay?
- Ritsu, let's play. - I'm busy now.
Let's play, let's play, let's play. Play with me.
Hello?
Hello? Haru-san?
I thought I'd be going back today but, I decided to stay here for 1 night.
Yes, everything is okay.
Boss, is that you? It's Noda.
I'm still at the onsen.
What?!
Taking a vacation day, taking a break from work...?
Yeah, it's fine, then rest hello?
Noda. Noda. Noda!!
They'll stay at the onsen, relaxing.
I can't believe it.
Here we were worrying about them having a crisis and getting a divorce.
Isn't it fine? The calm returns after they settle the fight.
Like the harden soil after the rain falls on it, right, Wataru-san?
Those two are really annoying people.
Oh, this feels good. I can relax like this.
But your menacing look just a while ago,
was really cool.
It's just that.
However, I was really happy Haruko-san in front of everyone
you said you didn't want to break up with me.
Hey, come.
What? What?
You're a cheater!
Being like this
is like having the honeymoon I wanted to have with you.
Honeymoon?
Since we married, it's being so busy
and I had to postpone it too much.
Also we haven't got the money.
That's why I wanted to have some money at any cost.
Then, that was why you went to that show?
That's right.
Honeymoon is the happiest moment in your life.
From that onward you become a couple and many things happen.
Like fights, and wondering if you should break up.
But, those moments of the honeymoon are
always remember as happy memories.
What makes us angry, will get us somewhat frustrated.
Because in the long life of a couple,
the good memories are a treasure.
You're right.
Waxing the kitchen floor, organizing the cupboards,
and also I have to wipe the windows wipe the windows
Oh, also, I have to clean the mold in the bath.
What are you making a fuss about?
The Year-end cleaning, you don't want to great the New Year
with a dirty house, right? Noda-san Hey, Noda-san!
It's disgusting, you're acting like a molester.
Mo...molester?
I got it, I won't ask you anything.
Why is it that everyone force everything of the house on me?
It's too selfish of you... oh.
- What are you doing? - What? So rude.
- Who is been that? - A molester!
This guy touched me in the back.
That's wrong! This person is not a molester.
The real molester is
What? Let me go.
Thank you very much!
Be careful with women.
...a molester?!
- A woman molester touched Ritsu's bottom? - It seems.
So, Ritsu, what did you do? Did you ask her to stop it,
or told her something like "What are you touching!" right?
I was too embarrassed my voice didn't come out.
So, she kept on touching you?
How did she touch you?
Like this?
Don't say that! Help me with this.
Women these days are scary, well over here too.
Again, taking off your clothes here!
If you're taking a bath take them off in the dressing room!
Oh, scary! Non-chan, let's go.
There was someone who helped me. A guy who looked like from high school.
I wonder who he was... I barely remember his face.
Ritsu, aren't you a man? Don't you have the pride of a man?
That is why Wataru-san calls you feminine.
You said it! If you say that, Noda-san, I won't forgive you!
You know, I'm not a woman, I'm not feminine.
I'm clearly a man!
Then I'll call you a 'new half'.
- If that's the case, then it's fine. - What? Ritsu!
You're not angry? She called you gay.
I don't mind it.
Mind it! Ritsu, Ritsu!
What is this?!!
What is it?
- Haruko-san! - It's nothing.
...It's nothing...
What happened? Those marks...
Did someone beat you?
I told you I won't say it to no one,
tell me.
Let's talk from man to man.
I won't say it, even to Haruko-san.
I...I...
Damn it...
Good morning!
Good morning
Good morning! Non-chan, hello!
Morning.
- Non-chan? - It's 'good morning', right?
Bye then.
What? Who's that kid?
Kento-kun? He came in last week.
His father is American, he's a half-foreigner.
He's so big.
His weight is of about an elementary school student.
Bye Non-chan, I'm leaving now.
What is it?
Did something happen to Ritsu?
Even though starting tomorrow we're on winter break
he's been doing nothing but sighing.
We were thinking he found a person he likes.
We are worried about him.
Someone he likes?!
Oh, you are...
Thank you very much for the other day!
So, you also live here?
So, you too?
Yeah, I'm Ozawa Naoki. My sister lives here.
I see.
So, the nurse from the 1st floor is his elder sister.
He'll take the university entrance exam next year,
so, just for the winter break, he is coming to Tokyo for a prep school.
Since his sister has a night shift tonight
I thought about making a meal for him.
I think it's okay. It's nice to be kind to our neighbors.
- Let's do miso soup. - Don't do unnecessary things.
I'm really hungry, you know.
But, why are you so happy?
Because, that we get to meet again in this big world.
can you believe it?
You make it sound as meeting a lover.
Don't say disgusting things... it's two guys.
It was definitely a joke, right, Ritsu?
Yes, yes.
You have bruises again!
Again, it was that boy called Kento?
I see.
But, a man that can't solve problems by himself it's no good.
For a man, there are no walls that he can't overcome by himself.
To go beyond this wall, a man has to get used to be by himself.
You have to fight, Non-chan. Stay firm! Okay?
Haru-san! Get up! Haru-san
Ah... Even though it's Sunday.
I already made breakfast.
Hurry, get up and eat. This is messy.
No...
Okay, today I have to clean the inside of the fridge.
And...also the closet, today I'll be so busy!
Good morning!
Good morning.
Are you free today?
No, no... eh?
You know, I wanted to see at least once the University I'll be going next year,
but I don't know Tokyo at all.
Will you show me around?
Oh, I will, I will. I'll show you around!
I'm free today, totally free. Hahaha, I will.
It's here.
- Oh! - Be careful! Are you okay?
I'm sorry.
Oh. It has university vibes.
It feels good, to be here.
I'll love to leap over time and be an university student already.
It is difficult, isn't it? The entrance examination.
....No, I don't hate studying.
It's just that I don't want to waste time.
I want to become an Astronomer.
Since I was a child I love watching at the stars.
By night, I was always looking at the sky.
- Was it like that? - Yeah.
During summer, I climbed the tile roof and watch at it all night long.
Then, from bellow, my parents
would think that I ran out from home and make a big deal.
While looking at the stars.... I feel this mysterious atmosphere,
the Universe and its secrets
like why do humans exist and such.
And also, my existence seems so tiny when I think about it.
But, despite being so tiny,
that's what I am, and I'm here. And I get to think that again.
Maybe I'm just weird?
No, I think that it is very wonderful thing.
Hey, did you invite Ritsu-kun?
I did. But Ritsu is very busy by the end of the year,
he also has a lot of cleaning to do.
What if he is really having a date with a girlfriend?
I'm telling you, Ritsu doesn't have a girlfriend...
He's there.
Naoki-san.
- How was it? - The space shuttle​ was great.
Why is Ritsu hanging out with an older boy?
Could it be? Is it a date?
If it's Ritsu, it may be possible.
What is possible?
Homosexual love.
Homosexual love?
Oh, I'm all drenched.
I'll heat the water for a bath.
Take off your clothes, you'll catch a cold.
What are you doing? Hurry up.
Yes.
I'm sorry. We couldn't get to the Planetarium.
No, it was fun.
That's good.
Hurry. I'll dry you.
Wow, you're really drenched.
What? You're acting like a girl.
You remind me my first love.
Oh! That's bad! Ritsu will get mad.
Is that Ritsu?
Eh? Where?
Over there.
Ritsu!
She was really quiet and a very nice girl,
but when I was in finishing the fifth year of elementary school
because of her father's job they moved to Tokyo.
And that was the end of it.
Oh, you have an eyelash in your eye.
Don't move.
What is going on with Ritsu-kun?
He's in bed but he's not sick.
Maybe he's in love?
- What is it? - Shh!
What are we going to do if he hears you?
Is he really in love then?
Could it be? That the person is a boy.
What are you saying?
I went to the Planetarium today, and Ritsu was also there.
With someone named Naoki-san.
It doesn't mean that, right, Haruko-san?
I saw him.
Ritsu and the other guy were hugging.
That's a misunderstanding. A mistake, right? Haruko-san.
- I also saw it. - What did you say?
They were also bare.
It can't be true.
I tried to think about it many times.
But, it was Ritsu.
So...so, that means he really is...
he really is gay!
Could you quiet down a bit?
It's resounding in my head, especially father's voice.
Oh...I'm sorry.
Oh, should I get some tea?
- What shall we do? - What do you mean?
First, we should check on Ritsu's feelings.
Don't make it sound so easy.
What will we do if he gets up wanting to wear a skirt?
But it may be a misunderstanding.
Then, Haruko, you should do it really soon.
That's right.
Kimiko-chan, how about you asking him indirectly?
No, no, these things is better to be asked by a mother.
No, I'm afraid!
What if we ask Wataru-san to do it?
- That's right, Wataru is a good choice. - Wataru can do it.
Why won't you ask the father to do it?
- You don't have to. - You'll make it worse.
I won't. Let me do it!
- It's better if we ask Wataru to do it. - That's the best.
- I'm telling you... let me do... - Let's call him right now.
- Let's call him. - Listen, let me do it.
Wait... listen...
I forgot something.
During winter, the night sky looks beautiful, you know.
Rudolph, the red-nosed. Merry Christmas!
reindeer had a very shiny nose...
Merry Christmas!
Please let me have an advance.
Yes?
- An advance. - No way.
My dignity as a father depends on it.
An impossible thing is impossible.
It's for a man,
to prevent him becoming gay it's at a critical moment.
Let me have an advance. Please!
Thanks!
No, I don't want to go!
This is like having social studies.
To make it right from now on.
Oh! What are you doing!
- Ouch! - Here, we have this service.
Like this. Like this.
"Lingerie pub, tactics of love".
"100% excitement level".
Merry Christmas!
How cute! Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Your skin is really smooth.
I wonder if your whole body is this smooth.
- I'm leaving after all. - Just wait a moment, okay?
Ritsu-kun, we're here now, don't think about anything else.
I thought about talking with you properly.
For instance, what type of woman do you like?
- I don't have a type. - Then, for example,
maybe this innocent type of woman,
or maybe this type of sexy lady?
What do you think about her type?
I'm the type, for guys like you.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Ritsu-kun,
For me, if we're ships, then women is our harbors.
If a man likes a woman, well, it's a natural thing.
Listen, Ritsu-kun, wait...
try touching her breast.
No, I...
Rub it. Do it! Like this, like this.
Stop it!
Father.
But, if it's you, I'll forgive you.
- Really, stop... - This is a critical moment for a man!
Rub it, do it. Hey, touch them!
- It's okay. - Like this, touch them...
Oh, enough, help me!
Wait, everyone is worried about you!
Haruko-san too, she's worried because she thinks you might be gay.
Is he gay? This boy.
No, really?
Ah! Ritsu! Ritsu!
Why did you take him to that place?!
- I'm sorry. - So, where is Ritsu?
He ran off the place, and I don't know where he is now...
Ran off?
You... you didn't talk to Ritsu about this, did you?
You did?
What did you say to him?
About being gay...
No, it just came out of my mouth...
Ouch...
Ritsu is very sensitive, you know.
He's nothing like you!
I'm sorry...
Why did you take him? Why hasn't he come back?!
I'm sorry.
Hello? Hello?
Haru-san.
Ritsu?! Where are you now?
Ritsu! Ritsu!
Ritsu?
What are you doing over there?
Am I weird?
Even I can see that.
For guys, it's normal to fall in love with girls, right?
But, it's the first time I feel like this.
Haru-san, what should I do...
What should I do?
There's nothing to do, you've fallen in love.
Ritsu, you're 14 years old, right?
Surely, at your age,
falling in love means having a wide range of feelings,
wanting to have things you don't have.
Whatever you look at, wondering if they feel like you do.
Wondering if that person will feel attracted to you, like you are.
Whoever that person is
I think falling in love is a wonderful thing.
Haru-san...
...Is it okay? For Ritsu to continue like that?
You can't stop the feelings when you fall in love.
Nobody can't stop them.
No, but...
It was like that for me too.
My head told me that it was better not marrying you.
Even though I understood that...
What are you talking about? Haruko-san.
Did you oppose to our marriage in your head?
Don't you know, that because I married you
I became even more poor than before!
I'm sorry about that...I guess.
But...
I'm happy though.
- Bye bye! - Bye bye!
Come here!
Goodbye.
- I'm back. - Oh, you're back.
Oh, so this end of the year they'll have a Sumo tournament?
Yes, this year we'll also have a father's category.
So, please, please make sure his father joins in.
We thought about you, we're counting on your participation.
Yes.
Where is Non-chan?
Damn!
Look, if you're Ultraman, try doing it.
Stop it!
What will you do if you get hurt?
- Shut up old woman! - "Shut up old woman"?
Ouch... What?
Kento, let's go home.
Are you... Kento-kun's mother?
Yes.
I'm Noboru's mother, he's from the same class.
Really? Nice to meet you.
Oh...nice to meet you.
So, there's this thing, just a moment ago, Kento and my Non-chan
we're having a fight, or a game, I'm not sure...
I'm worried about him getting hurt...
It's just that Kento-kun is really big...
If he could hear from his mother to be more careful...
My principle is for children to be raised feeling at ease.
If you scold them you end up crooking his personality.
Please, do not overrule my policy.
Wait a moment. Despite your policy...
My Kento is an obedient good kid.
Just because his body is a bit bigger than other people's children
it's unfair that he gets treated as a danger for them.
That's why I didn't marry a Japanese.
They'll instantly look at people with prejudice. Let's go, Kento.
For being a brat you've to have such mother?
So, Non-chan was getting hurt by that brat?!
- Did you know that? - Yes, I knew it.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because Non-chan tried to solve it by himself.
Parents shouldn't meddle between a children fight.
Between a children fight, parent's should intervene!
No, they shouldn't. If he's being beaten he'd get it back on his own.
This is the basis.
If you pay back what they do to you,
you'll get twice in return!
I don't get the men principles but
the one who's been suffering is Non-chan!
If he dies because of this bullying, what will we do?
You're thinking too much of it.
If a parent doesn't think about their children who's going to?
I'm the only one who can help Non-chan.
Enough!
I don't want to go to the nursery school.
Get up!
- GET UP!! - Yes, yes.
- I made a decision. - A decision?
There's a Sumo competition at the nursery school this time.
A contest in a fair and square way.
We'll win over that Kento kid.
- So, let's start the morning training! - Yes.
Take him thinking he's Kento!
Okay, come!
- Do your best, Non-chan. - Do your best. Fight!
Come on, it's cold so hurry up.
Non-chan.
Can you leave it like this?
For a man, if someone beats you, you take it back.
- Last night, I told you... - Shut up! It's different in Sumo.
In Sumo, it's not about how big your body is,
even if you're small, you use your technique
even if it's a big opponent, you can throw him.
If you practice, I'm sure you can win, Non-chan!
If it were Ultraman, that Zetton
that beats him and beats him at the end he wins, doesn't he?
Non-chan, you can surely win too!
That's right, do your best!
Fight! Non-chan.
This is the defeated Kento, come for him!
Non-chan, isn't it frustrating?
If it's a man, he has to settle on his own.
- You'll win for sure! - Go and do it!
- Non-chan, go. Go! - Non-chan. Go. Go.
Non-chan. Go. Go. Non-chan. Go. Go.
What is it, Non-chan? Don't you want to try?
- Come on. - Non-chan, give it a try.
Do you want to win over him, right?
Enough.
Non-chan.
Let's quit that nursery school.
I won't ask you to do something impossible.
It's fine, if you don't want to go to nursery school.
You've been doing your best until now.
I'm proud of you, Non-chan.
I'll do it.
- Eh? - I'll do it, Haruko.
Okay, come on!
- Yes. Yes. - FIGHT! DO YOUR BEST!
- Non-chan, keep going! - Keep going, Non-chan!
- Non-chan, go! - Push. Push. Push.
I'll release you. Okay!
Yes.
Keep going, keep going, keep going. Yes. Yes.
- Fight! - Fight!
The last, the last. Do your best!
Fight! You did it! You did it!
Yes! Yes!
You did it! Yes! Yes!
We're here. Non-chan.
Let's see the results of the daily special training!
Yeah! I'll do it!
Kento, nice!
Don't lose to Kento!
Those parents really cling to their kids.
What did you bring?
- That's for Naoki-san? - Yes.
You're also very clingy, right?
Okay, everyone, hello!
Hello!
Right now the year-end mid-winter parent and children
- Sumo tournament starts! - It's bad!
What?
You'll have the first round with Kento's father.
I'll deal with him! This is why we came here.
How dependable!
- Beat him up! - We'll depending on you, old man.
Got it. Just leave it to me!
Come on!
Strong.
Nice body.
- Wait...wait... - Where are you going?
- To...toilet. - Is that way.
Is that so... Suddenly I got chilly.
In the East, Non-chan's Dad.
In the West, Kento-kun's Papa.
Honey! Fight!
Don't lose! Do your best!
The technique, use it. Do your best.
Use your emotions, it's not just with the body.
Get ready.
Put some spirit into it! Remain! Remain in the ring!
- Do your best! - Show your skill!
- Daddy, do your best! - Father!
Don't get out! Stay in!
That was close!
We have a winner.
Kento-kun's papa's victory!
Ouch! Ouch!
That was careless.
If you could have stand firm a little longer, you'd throw him.
My waist, waist...
- How undisciplined. - For real, for real.
Are you okay?
- Come on! Really! - Ouch!
So uncool. Your dad.
You little one, you're so little.
Damn you.
In the East, Noda Non-chan.
Non-chan, look at your partner at the initial charge.
In the West, Itoukazu-kun.
Get ready. Put your spirit in remaining!
- Yeah! - Non-chan's victory!
That was great!
Non-chan's victory!
Good. Good. Non-chan! Good. Good. Non-chan!
Kento-kun wins by default.
Get ready. Put your spirit in remaining!
Stay in, stay in!
- Non-chan's victory! - I did it!
That's great!
Stay in! Stay in!
Oh. He's strong.
The final game will start now.
In the East, Noda Non-chan.
Go. Go. Go. Non-chan!
Come on!
Send him flying!
Throw him out with all the results of the training!
- You too, say something! - My waist.
Non-chan, do it for me too!
Because of those painful moments you'll be able to win now.
Wait! Now it starts.
But...but it's time...
Get ready.
Put your spirit in remaining inside!
- Ah! - He hit him on the face!
Referee, what are you doing? Oh! He has blood in his nose.
- Oh, Non-chan, are you okay? - The game hasn't finished yet.
- YES!! - Non-chan's victory!
The Champion is Non-chan!
Non-chan!
Yeah! Yeah!
What happened?
What is it?
- I'm broken. - Huh?
My bones are broken.
- What?! - Ouch!
Ouch! Ouch!
I'm sorry. Excuse me.
The train is stopping at line 13.
Naoki-san.
What? What is this? Did you come to see me off?
Well... I thought I could meet you for a little while...
and...
Ozawa-kun!
I'm glad I made it. This.
- For me? - Yes.
- I'm so glad. - That's good.
I'll write you a letter, and I'll call you for sure.
And, let's get into the same University!
Oh, look, we talked about her before, she is...
Take care! I just came to tell you that.
And in New Year's Eve...
Excuse me.
Kimiko, leave that, why don't you help out.
Oh, father, don't eat those!
Wataru! Welcome back.
It's New Year's Eve, what are you all doing?
It's not that. The beauty salon was...
Okay, okay. I got it. In order, in order please.
- Then, I'll go first. - Sorry, we'll do it in order.
Be careful. Here I go.
- Here. - Yes, yes.
Wataru?
- You can relax at New Year, right? - Yeah.
- But now, look at the nail, it's dangerous. - I know.
Ouch!
- Oh! First-aid! - The first-aid kit?
I hit Wataru instead. Are you okay?
You broke it again!
So, everyone, thanks for taking care of
our family this year and for the next one, yoroshiku.
Why are you here?!
This year too, go! - Haruko
A Happy New Year!​ - Noda
See you. - Non-chan
HAPPY NEW YEAR - Ritsu
See you again. - Kimiko
See you next year, too. - Wataru
'Second Chance' is back!
