My life has always been somewhat average.
Having a dad who works in a minor company, a mom who is a housewife, and one older sister.
I pretty much grew up in an average home...
Went to an average school...
Just one of the average people who went to an average college
and joined an average company that makes electronic parts...
I think that for better or worse, it might be that
this somewhat average kind of life will go on forever.
Until I joined this training program for new employees.
Does a telephone pole sneeze?!
No.
And neither does it speak!
Is it right? To think society is full of absurdities?
In order to become respectable members of society, remember only this...
Whatever it is that you blame society with...
You should blame yourself, too!
Turtle!
You oaf, there are no turtles that move like that.
Yes! One more please!
Alright!
-Thank you very much! -Alright!
Michael Jackson!
Everyone remember this.
Blame a person. Blame yourself.
Blame another. Blame yourself.
['3 months later']
What is this?
Uh, I made it easier to understand.
You shouldn't have changed this without permission. I might get in trouble.
But I made it more efficient and I think it's much better now.
In this company, just follow the standard practices.
Understood?
Yes.
Bucho,* [*Manager] this standard practice that we have
I thought of trying to re-arrange it a bit.
Please take a look at it and tell me what you think.
-Where, where is your suggestion? -This form here...
About the product database of our customers. It is just too common
...I think mine is much more efficient. -I see. Well, I'll approve it.
If we are bound by standard practices, then our company will not develop.
Take, you're better than that guy.
Well, I'm not too skilled in sucking up.
I don't like working for such an idiotic boss, either...
Just pretend to rely on him. Then eventually, you'll be okay.
I don't think I like to stay in this company if that is the case.
Yeah but you know...
You have to think realistically. It's hard to keep changing jobs nowadays.
Hey, guys, don't forget at 6:30 we're gonna have a celebration here.
-I expect everyone not to leave yet. -Yes, Bucho.
Not again. I'm supposed to have a date.
-Then you'll pass? -Of course not.
The boss' temper is worse than my girlfriend's... It'll be too troublesome.
A new issue of a manga will be released today. I was planning to read it at home.
Here goes.
If a guy is always lazy at work
he can't have anything done...
Uh, I'm sorry, Bucho. Today, there's this thing.
-What is it? -It's just that...
I can't make it tonight.
You're not excused.
Seriously, it was useless trying to talk to him.
You said it.
That's enough. This part is already too crowded.
Put it in the center. The center.
Oh, it's not so lavish today.
Bucho, can I collect the money spent for the food right now?
-Do it later. -No but...
Everyone will be too drunk tonight and it'll be hard to collect the money.
Take, read the atmosphere, will you?
Everybody's done working and are looking forward to drinking.
Nobody wants to compute that right now. -But...
Just do it later.
Then, I'll just have one more request.
What now?
Can it be that one pays for the number of beers that he drinks?
I mean, some people drink 4 beers but there are some who just drink one.
It's too late for that.
Let's just do it once in awhile... splitting the bill fairly.
Then I'll ask them.
How about it? You in favor of splitting the bill accordingly?
Just follow the standard practice. Do it the usual way.
-Thanks for waiting. -Sorry that your favorite yakitori
took so long. They ran out of it
so we waited for them to grill some more.
C'mon, guys. Let's make a toast.
Cheers for the good work today!
Cheers for the good work!
-You quit your job? -Yeah.
-You mean you resigned? -Yeah!
Why is that?
You went on and decided this for yourself without even telling me.
Why? Do I really need your permission whether I want to quit a company or not?
-Of course! -That doesn't make sense.
Do you have a new job waiting for you after you quit?
No, not really.
Then why the hell did you quit?
I bet you have no good reason why you quit.
I quit because that company doesn't make sense.
Since that training program for newbies, I don't understand that company at all.
You're just looking for something fun. It can't be helped if a company is the way it is.
Each company has its own faults.
Still, you have to work hard.
A guy like you, what company would hire you?
Doesn't last long. You're not qualified to be called a working man.
Stop nagging already.
Sumiko, did you know that Seiji will quit?
She didn't know. It's only now that mom had heard of this.
Did you notice anything about his behavior before he quit?
Did you see anything?
Actually, I'm a little surprised
that Seiji was able to make a decision on his own.
It's absolutely not okay!
Say, try this.
It's very good... Ok? C'mon.
Times like these, if you think you can find employment so easily, you're making a big mistake.
-I know that. -Try the pickles.
If you knew it, then why would you easily quit the company?
I said, I know what I'm doing so shut up already.
-What do you mean shut up? -That's enough.
-You dare talk to your parent like that?! -Enough, I get it already.
You resigned after three months at the previous company you worked for?
-Yes. -Why?
You could say that I didn't take too kindly with the atmosphere of the company.
-What did they have you do? -Well...
at first, they had me attend this training for new employees which was really strange.
-Strange? -For example...
they told us to try becoming a telephone pole.
-Then what did you do? -So...
Uh...we stood stiff like a pole ...like this.
Oh... anything else?
Then they made us imitate a turtle...
and also Michael Jackson.
So everyone was made to dance
like Michael Jackson?
Yes, and if we don't do it, we would get hit with a stick.
We were told that it has something to do with absurdity being the rule of life, I think.
Sorry, I don't mean to laugh.
Uh, no no. You can laugh all you want please.
Thank you very much.
['We are sorry to inform you that we will not need your services at this moment..']
Seiji, what do you like for dinner?
Uh, it's ok. Whatever's fine.
Then how about buta no shugayaki?* [*grilled ginger pork]
Ok.
The growth in the planning and development of your department is remarkable.
You have also contributed greatly to society.
By all means, I would like to be part of such a company.
If you would kindly receive my application.
[...The position had already been filled...]
[...We regret to inform you...]
[...Thank you for your application. Unfortunately...]
['Hello Work' Employment Agency] It would be better if you worked at least a year in your previous company.
But it says here that you worked for only 3 months.
They might expect that a young person like you doesn't have any patience.
It's not that I was impatient...
I was just being decisive, some companies want that kind of trait...
...maybe there's one like that, right? -Don't expect much...
...when asking for reemployment. No company's looking for a decisive person.
Hmm, for new graduates, finding work in your preferred field of planning and development will be difficult.
Oh, what about a food chain?
They do hire new grads without previous work experience. It could be promising.
Uh, no...
I prefer to work in the field of planning and development. I don't intend to change that.
Well then, today... there's no available work in any of your preferred field.
So now, you see what happened after you made your decision...
Are you still saying that it's okay to leave your previous company?
It's ok. There's still more time, right?
You're home all day, Sumiko. You don't know how hard it is out there.
If you think there's plenty of work for everyone, you're totally wrong.
Leave it alone.
I think it's annoying that you keep rushing me.
You don't even pay for the food in this house, so quit acting like you're the boss here.
-More please. -Yes.
Well, isn't it? A man like you is what they call a good-for-nothing.
It's also because of you, Sumiko.
You spoiled him while growing up...
so he ended up with no patience whatsoever.
Hey, give me more beer.
Yes.
I have worked hard through the years.
I was feeding not just myself but the whole family.
When it comes down to it...
You could say that this house is not ours.
It's bought by my company as a housing for its employees.
I only pay 50,000 yen for the rent.
But the neighbors
have struggled to repay their mortgages.
So only with this 50,000 rent payment, we were able to live more comfortably.
Yeah, right.
-We get to travel twice a year, don't we? -Domestic, you mean.
There never was a need to travel overseas.
Hakone, Kusatsu, Beppu, Yufuin.
All of those places you decided for yourself.
If mom wanted to go somewhere you reject the idea right away.
A housewife is happy enough that she gets to travel.
While you don't even know how to show appreciation.
Just because you can't brag at work, you keep bragging all you want at home.
-What the hell... -Bull's eye, huh?
What kind of attitude, is that?
No company would hire an arrogant guy with a smart mouth like you!
I'm not done talking to you.
I've had enough, it's too annoying. I'll never eat with you again.
Don't say that. Let's eat together, ok?
I haven't finished talking so sit down.
Sit down!
Seiji, it's 20,000 yen.
-What for? -For the food.
-I won't give 20,000. -What do you mean?
I'll give you 30,000, ok?!
Thank goodness I still have more than 20,000!
Seiji-kun, hello!
Oh, hello.
You have no work today?
Uh, well, I quit my job.
-Yotsuba Electronics? -Yes.
-But why? -Well, there were many reasons.
So now you're unemployed.
Uh, no... I have a part-time job.
Oh, so you're a freeter* guy, huh? ['flitter' - flits from one contractual job to another]
Uh, no actually, I'm still looking for a regular job...
So you see, uh...
It's just to earn some spending money until I get myself a real job... something like that.
Well, hurry and get that job, ok? Good luck.
Yes. See you.
Come in!
It's not just 'come in.' It's 'Welcome.'
'Welcome...' As in 'well,' ok?
-Yup, got it. -It's not 'Yup, I got it.'
-It's 'Yes, I understand.' -Yes, I understand.
Uh, welcome, come in.
My life had always been somewhat average.
It's 610 yen.
I intend to get re-employed by an average firm as soon as possible
But for now, I have to live a life of a freeter ...starting in this place.
Thank'ya much.
Thank you very much!

::Episode 1:: "My cheerful mother is in a wreck"
['1 year later'] ::Episode 1:: "My cheerful mother is in a wreck"
What? Now it's a retail store?
All in all, how many part-time jobs did he have for the past year?
A convenience store, a video rental shop, then, a bookstore.
Just because he thinks it's troublesome to develop working relationship with others, he can just quit anytime.
It's not so easy as he thinks.
Such a lack of patience is too ridiculous.
Because of it, he can't settle in just one job.
Seiji seems to be having a tough time with his job hunting.
That Seiji just needs to be told
to work hard at it so that he won't have to get scolded all the time.
That's because you're a hard worker, Ayako.
Honestly, I wanted to directly talk to Seiji but I can't say it
because he'll just argue back.
That since I married a doctor, That I'm living an easy life, and so on...
I don't think he has any idea what it feels like for me.
Seiji will be fine.
Unlike before, he now says what he wants to say, you know.
How are things over there? Is your mother-in-law doing ok?
She's healthy as always.
How's your husband?
Since yesterday, he's in Osaka for an academic conference.
-It's not easy without him. -Pow!
Ow, Tomoya!
"Alien Baltan* attack! Tomoya is hit!" [*characters from TV series, 'Ultraman']
-Sorry for the wait, here's your grilled mackerel. -Oh, thank you.
Say, maybe the 3 of us can eat together sometimes.
No, if dad's there, it's impossible to eat in peace.
Your father may be a harsh man when he talks...
He's just concerned, so since he knows some people
who might recommend a job for you.
He's asking them about it.
-What's that thing mom told me about? -About what?
That you've been going around asking people to give me a job.
Well, in the end, you weren't able to find a regular job, right?
I'm sure you're regretting by now that you quit that company.
No, I'm not.
Anyway...
You kept grumbling about how they're making you do that strange training program...
Maybe it's good that you quit over there...
if you had stayed in that company, they would have eventually sifted you out.
What do you mean by that?
You're incompetent, and you SHOULD be sifted out!
Shut up! Who are you to talk...
you who had been relying on borrowed credit...
No company will hire you anywhere!
-I prefer at least a 200,000 yen salary. -Take-san, in a marriage agency...
most women would settle for a man with an income of at least 100,000 yen.
How about it?
Are you saying I'm too ambitious?
You need to review your conditions again.
I'm just saying that it's better if you broaden your choices.
It's not that I'm being ambitious.
I just want to find a satisfactory job.
Because if I don't...
I don't think I'll last long again.
Getting any job should be your top priority.
Uh, no, I prefer a workplace that would maximize the use of my skills...
it can't be any place especially one that doesn't believe in me.
It should be a workplace where the boss will acknowledge me.
Maybe there's one like it there.
An IT-related company with a starting salary of 230,000.
That sounds good. Please try to ask them.
I think you're wasting your time.
I'm off for an interview.
Ok.
About my contribution for the food this month...
It's ok. Your father
gave me enough so we're ok.
But once I get my salary from my part-time job...
I'll give it to you.
Here... use this for your train fare.
No, no need.
It's ok... just take it.
Sorry.
See you later then.
Seiji.
Some day, you'll be able to start again.
Seiji-kun. Good morning.
Oh, good morning.
Have you found a job?
No, not yet.
Well, I hope you'll find one soon.
I'm going then, see you.
-I'm Take. -Uh, Take-san...
-Go over there please. -Yes.
Please begin now.

Seiji?
Michiru, it had been a long time.
Perhaps... you're here to see me?
Uh, no...
I normally pass through this neighborhood.
Is that so? I thought you're here
because you're sorry that you broke up with me.
-Are you coming from work? -Yeah, I have a part-time job at a grocery store.
I see.
When I saw you
show up wearing a business suit
I almost didn't recognize you.
What company are you working for?
Uh, no... it's not really a big company.
I hope you're working hard?
Of course.
I'm not the same student anymore.
Yeah.
Uh, sorry. My boyfriend is coming by this time.
Eh? I see. Sorry.
Michiru.
Oh, he's here already. Bye.
-Yeah. -Sorry.
-Who was that? -Oh, nothing.
Oh, sorry...
-Oh, long time, no see. -Yeah.
You work here?
Oh, uh, just a part-time job.
How about you?
Yeah, I'm still there. The Bucho is still an idiot.
Still dealing with that idiot's temper tantrums.
It was better that you hurried and got out of there.
Oh, well, the work is easy here.
I envy you.
Sorry, for disturbing your work.
-Ok. -Bye.
It's good that you quit after that...
if you had stayed in that company, they would have sifted you out.
You're incompetent so they should SIFT you out!
Excuse me...
...do you have a sifter?
-Huh? -I said a 'sifter...'
For flour, you know, the thing that you shake.
-It's a sifter... as in to SIFT~! -I heard you, ok...
you don't have to say it many times.
-What's with that attitude? -Uh, over there.
-Here they are. -Do you always treat customers like this?
I'm so sorry, ma'm. What are you looking for?
-A sifter. -Oh, we have sifters.
We should always be courteous to our customers.
This is very fundamental.
One bad impression of you affects the impression of the entire store.
For our customers, whether you are
a part-timer or a regular employee here, we're all a part of this place, ok?
Even if you're a part-timer,
it'll cause problems if you're not aware of your responsibilities.
You understand?
Take-kun, did you hear me?
-I quit. -Yes.. what?
I can't take this anymore so I'm quitting. Thank you for everything.
Wait, you can't suddenly leave. That'll be a problem.
-I'm sorry. -Take-kun, wait....
~Because you have a beauty that can't be reflected in photographs...~
~Linda Linda... Linda Linda...~
~If someday I have a chance to speak with you...~
Welcome back... it seems you're late tonight.
Have you eaten?
['2 months later']
What is that Seiji doing?
He has no job. Not even a part-time work.
Doesn't show his face...
It has been 2 months already.
This kind of fun living shouldn't continue.
It's because you spoiled him, making it easy for him.
Every day, he's living this lazy life.
Did you hear me?
Good morning!
Why'd you have to wait up for me?
Here you go.
-What do you like to eat for lunch? -This is already lunch, isn't it?
You're right. Well, what about dinner?
It's been a long time since I made tempura.
It's because your dad said I shouldn't cook oily foods so
I stopped making them for awhile...
But it's ok for you to eat it once in awhile, right?
But if it's fried food, I think fried chicken is better.
Or maybe you prefer fish than meat?
I think the fish-seller has a fine stock nowadays.
If there's anything you'd like to eat, just tell me. C'mon what is it?
-Enough. -Huh?
You keep on asking me that.
I have a lot of things to think about.
Just be the one to decide... It doesn't make a difference to me anyway.
I've just returned.
-Welcome back. -I'm home.
Welcome home. I've just helped Tomoya with his homework.
Oh, thank you.
His knowledge in math is insufficient.
Oh, sorry. I'll take care of it.
Tomoya is the heir to the Nagata clinic.
Ayako-san...
as the wife of a director of the clinic, you should be aware of this, right?
I'm sorry, I'll make sure next time.
Bye, now. Tomoya.
-Bye-bye. -Yes, bye bye.
-Thank you. -It's ok.
-Bye bye. -Bye bye.
Tomo-chan, you got to study more, go back.
-Go on back. -I don't want to.
You will not stop until you get it perfectly. No complaining.
'You have 38 messages.'
38?
Tomoya, I'm going out for awhile. I'll send you to your grandma.
-Eh? She'll just make me study more. -Stop complaining.
Oh, it has gotten late.
Is it already dinner?
Hey, Mom?
What the heck-?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm sorry, I'm sorry
What are you doing?
-I'm sorry. -Huh?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I'm sorry, I'm sorry
What are you sorry for? Mom?
I'm sorry... I'm sorry I didn't die today.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm sorry I didn't die today.
'Didn't die?'
I didn't die today.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry.."
I didn't die today.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm sorry I didn't die today.
I'm back.
-What's wrong? -What should we do?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I didn't die today.
What joke is this?
-I don't know. -What do you mean you don't know?
I said I don't know what happened!
Sumiko, what's wrong?
Sumiko... Sumiko, c'mon. Hey.
I'm sorry I didn't die today.
Hey, do something.
-I'll call an ambulance. -No, the neighbors might see it.
Why worry about that now? I'm going to call them.
-Sis. -I called but nobody answered.
Huh?
I didn't die today. I'm sorry...
Mom, what's wrong? Hey, what happened?
-Uh... -You were here, right?
-I was but... -There's no way you wouldn't know
why she suddenly became like this.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
Mom... mom... Mom, it's ok..
Don't say that.
Mom, of course we don't want you to die...

It is depression.
Her symptoms are in a severe state already
so it would be best to confine her in a hospital.
Hospital?
Do I absolutely have to be hospitalized?
I don't like to be in the hospital. I have many things to do at home.
Please, not the hospital. Please.
-I understand. -Please.
Don't worry.
Just don't forget your medicine...
Promise that you'll take them regularly, ok?
Yes.
So then, I'll just discuss something with your family for awhile.
Take-san, this way please.
-Thank you very much. -It was nothing.
Will she be fine if she takes the medicine?
I think it's sufficient to help improve her condition.
It make take a long time though for the medicine to become effective,
she has to adjust to it or else her condition might worsen.
So she must persevere into taking it.
If her condition improves, she might stop taking her medicine without letting you know about it.
Patients often deteriorate because of it.
It's up to the family to help monitor her medication, so please look after her properly.
Is there anything else we should watch out for?
Is your mother by any chance felt burdened...
..by the housework? -How was it?
Uh, well, she does what she normally do.
Like, preparing 3 meals.. I mean, she makes sure they're prepared properly.
Uh, if that particular house work may be a burden for her...
then when she asks a question
maybe you could give her a clear answer.
-Like how do you mean? -For example...
when she asks what food you'd like to eat...
Just answer in a way that would be clear to her.
If there's anything you'd like to eat, just tell me. C'mon, what is it?
No matter what it is..
don't leave such a decision to your mother because it may become a burden to her.
I think the cause for her sickness
is generally stress.
It's important to remove anything that might cause it.
Stress.
I haven't been late, perfect attendance... You know too well
that I have slaved for the entire family.
To begin with, I can't be the one who caused her to have stress.
If there is one...
it should be someone who is taking forever to find a job...
this good-for-nothing idiot son is the cause.
Not really..
I don't think I'm the reason.
So what is it then?
Is it the bad society, the bad economy...?
Are you saying it's because of the world? -I didn't say..
...anything like that. -Stop it now.
You have such a stubborn pride despite having no skills
you will never find a job in your lifetime.
I don't want to be like you!
Who said to me he'll pay for the food every month? It was you, wasn't it?
Who lied to his mother saying he'll give his salary
for the monthly food budget... Wasn't it you?
Shut up.
The ones who don't earn money to buy food
has no right to complain!
You're so annoying.
Seiji. Seiji!
We still have to talk about mom.
Dad, you didn't have to make him leave.
She'll be fine if she takes her medicine. Don't make such a big fuss over it. -What?
Didn't you hear what I just said? It's not just the medicine...
It's important to free her from stress.
Sumiko put herself in such a miserable state...
because she spoiled Seiji and he grew up the way he did.
Put herself in what?
Enough. My lunch break is over.
What did you mean by that? Tell me...
This is so pathetic! First Seiji leaves, now you...
What kind of family is this?
The ones who don't earn money to buy food
have no right to complain!
You have such a stubborn pride despite having no skills
you will never find a job in your lifetime.

Alright... let's see who'll pay for the coffee today. Let's go.
Oh, hey, Seiji, wanna have coffee with us?
Thanks, I'm fine.
Let's go. Start now.
Let's start, let's start. Ok.
Ready... go. Rock-paper-scissors!
-It's a tie. -Yeah~!
-No, that was just for practice! -No it wasn't!
Right, it wasn't so.
-C'mon, treat us. -I'll just get my wallet.
Uh, thanks by the way.
It's ok.
It's unusual to see a woman in this line of work.
I'm just here for the part-time work...
Uh, well, I do it because the hours are flexible.
And while I'm doing this, I'm looking for a real job.
And also, my mom is a little sick right now...
and the hospital is along the way here.
Well, the hourly rate here is pretty high, anyway.
Uh, I know it must be hard for women to get a job, too.
I mean when a push comes to a shove...
they usually wind up working part-time in the hospitality industry at nights or like that...
But you seem to be adjusting to the work here...
It's still pretty rare but anyway... let's both work hard together.
Why are coming up with all these excuses?
Excuses?
You're saying it's because of your family, that you have to go to the hospital...
That you're saying you're still looking for a job...
The work hours here are flexible, and the hourly pay is good.
And that you assume that I have no choice but to be here....
...that I'm really not suited for this type of work.
No, it's not that.
Fine, then.
Just to let you know...
I'm here because I wanted this job.
Ah... I hate it when it rains. Let's hurry up.
I'm here because I wanted this job.
Why are you coming up with all these excuses?
You have such a stubborn pride despite having no skills
you will never find a job in your lifetime!
My life has always been somewhat average...
Well, in the end, you weren't able to find a regular job.
I'm sure you're regretting by now that you quit that company.
It would be better if you worked at least a year in your previous company.
But it says here that you worked for only 3 months.
They might expect that a young person like you don't have any patience.
Maybe it's good that you quit over there...
You are incompetent and should be sifted out!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't die today.
It's depression.
I think the cause for her sickness
is generally stress.
It's important to remove anything
that might cause it.
Actually, I'm a little surprised
that Seiji was able to make a decision on his own.
I've lived for 25 years... and it's only now I've noticed it...
Seiji, what do you like to eat for dinner?
Sorry for waiting, here's your grilled mackerel.
It's ok, just take it.
Mom had always...
watched over me with a smile.
Ready...set...
Seiji!
Seji, here's your nabe-yaki.
It's yummy.
You look so cool.
Seiji...
Someday, I know you'll be able to start again.
