If this mushroom is representing your heart,
I think, it's okay for you to fall in love with a human.
It's okay to live with humans,
because you have a beautiful heart.
I know, there are many issues, but...
Do you want to live together?
Together with me, let's live in the human world.

Frankenstein's Love
Watch where you're going.
- Episode 4 -
Where's Ken-san? He wasn't in his room.
He went out. Miss Tsugaru came to pick him up.
Tsugaru-san did?
He's decided to live in the human world with Tsugaru-san.
He said he's learning about humans. What does that mean?
Why didn't you tell me?
Why would I? That's cheating.
Huh?
I can't take your side just because you're my son.
Sometimes a man needs to play a game of push and pull.
You don't want to sell yourself short.
You're misunderstanding.
Oh, if you're lonely, ask Mikoto to keep you company.
Don't get me involved in this.
Murozono-san, you would be bored if you dated me.
- That's... - Not true, she said.
Shut up, Old Man!
Don't mind him.
That girl likes Ken, right?
Love and hate aren't the issue for Ken-san.
There are various types of people at the park on Sunday.
What are those people doing?
Nothing in particular. They're just having a good time.
Having a good time?
There's a family there.
That couple is lovers.
Those over there are friends.
People are enjoying things in their own ways.
Walking like this is also called strolling.
Strolling?
Strolling is fun.
Are those having a good time too?
Of course, they are.
They are strolling as well.
The dog is having a good time too?
I think so.
Are they having a good time?
Don't point at them.
I think they are.
What are they doing?
They are hugging.
Hug?
When people are in love, they hug each other.
Do we have to do that too?
You don't need to force yourself. Let's move on.
This is a train station.
Do people come here to stroll?
Rather than strolling, traveling afar.
People get on a train to travel afar.
A train? I want to get on a train too.
You need to decide on your destination first.
Destination?
A place you want to go.
If you take a train without a destination, you'd be called a runaway.
Runaway?
I'm joking.
- Joking? - So you should laugh.
What's up with him?
Stop it.
That wasn't true.
My joke wasn't funny.
So you can stop laughing.
- Okay. - Okay?
This is a shopping mall.
Do people stroll here, too?
- Not strolling, shopping. - Shopping?
If you want something, let me know.
Since you earn money from your job, you can pay for it.
If it isn't enough, I can lend you some.
Hmm...
I think those suit you the best.
Yes.
Is there anything you want, Tsugaru-san?
Huh?
Wow, it's fly agaric!
Is this the thing you wanted?
That's right. One more time.
Great. Amanita virosa this time.
I'll go again.
How many do you want?
Elingi mushroom. Where is a rare mushroom?
This is the university Senior Inaniwa and I are attending.
You've been here before, haven't you?
I have. This is the place you study mushrooms.
Yes, that's right. There are a lot more.
Bicycle.
Yes, that was a bicycle.
I've been here once when I was young.
When you were young?
With my mother, a year before she passed away.
Tsugumi, pur your hands together for the Jizo statue.
My mother was concerned since I have the same illness as hers.
So she came to pray to the statue of Jizo.
I don't know why she came this place.
I don't know why the Jizo is here at the university.
Because I remembered her bringing me here,
I decided to enroll at this university.
Sorry for making you listen to my boring story.
Although I don't understand much,
I always enjoy listening to your story.
Unlike the radio show, my story isn't funny.
Your story is more enjoyable than the radio show.
This is my first time hearing someone say my story is enjoyable.
Your joke isn't funny though.
You don't need to remind me.
I want to listen to more of your concerns, Tsugaru-san.
My concern?
Ah, that Amakusa?
It seems the radio show has a great influence on you.
Ancestors of my mother used to live in this area.
I know, it's generations of ancestors.
Right.
120 years ago, my ancestors lived around here.
120 years ago?
Is it really true that you've been living for over 120 years?
Yes, in the forest.
My father taught me there are 365 days in a year.
I've been counting days even after my father passed away.
So I'm certain of it.
This is the 120th year.
You don't know how to lie,
so I believe your unbelievable story.
You can believe me.
I feel envious of you a little.
When I came here with my mother,
flowers were blooming on this tree.
After I enrolled the at university,
I've never seen the flowers on the tree.
The tree may have withered.
So whenever I come here, I think to myself
that I may wither soon.
I have a fatal illness called branch atheromatous disease.
The blood vessels in my brain could tear or clog at any time.
My mother was also diagnosed at 30 and died at 34.
I've had the illness since I was young.
I could die any time.
Let's go back now.

Well then, see you later.
Okay.
Tsugaru-san!
Where have you been?
We were taking a little walk.
Please look after him.
Tsugaru-san seems a little down.
Tsugaru-san is concerned.
About what?
Senior Inaniwa, I have a favor to ask.
Open the page.

Ask Amakusa! Submit Your Concern
Good.
Why do you like Amakusa so much?
Amakusa and I are very similar.
Amakusa is having many concerns,
and wants to know many things.
Because that's his job.
His job?
It's hard to explain, but...
Amakusa-san!
Oh, I thought you were fired.
We weren't.
Tokachi-san will allow us to work agan?
Not Tokachi-san, but our listeners were on your side.
Frankenstein-san, good luck!
I'm sorry that I caused you trouble.
I know you did it to make the program interesting.
And I behaved immaturely.
If he thinks of himself as a monster, he shouldn't fall in love with a human?
I want to tell him,
if he thinks of killing someone, don't leave the house.
Don't meet anyone!
Kill yourself before that happens!
I think... a monster should fall in love with a human.
Like I asked you before, I was able to hear your sincere words.
So I'm glad.
Thank you very much.
That was truly interesting. It became a popular topic on the net.
Why don't you continue with the act.
The act?
Not only interviewing anonymous people on a street,
you should debate with celebrities in a diligent way.
I disagree.
I think Amakusa-san's actions weren't fair.
- Weren't fair? - Forget it.
Amakusa-san intended to trick Tokachi-san from the start,
to make him rage with those offensive words.
That wasn't my intention.
You made up the concern, didn't you, Amakusa-san?
What?
The Frankenstein doesn't really exist, does he?
The fake concern was made up by you, right?
- Is that true? - It's not.
The sender really does exist.
Do you have any proof for that?
That's right. Show me the proof.
You guys, just calm down.
I have a new mail
from Frankenstein.
He wants to thank us, and another concern.
Why would Amakusa-san send himself a thank you note?
- What does it say? - Here.
It says Frankenstein was able to fall in love.
She is concerned about her incurable illness...
Tsugaru-san?
Oh, hello!
Is everything alright? I didn't see you the last few days.
I'm sorry. I wasn't feeling well, so I took a break.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Perhaps, did something happen on Sunday?
Ken-san was worried about you.
Fukashi-san was?
He thinks he offended you.
It wasn't like that at all.
But... Sometimes, I lose motivation,
the motivation to live.
I feel bad for making him worry.
So it wasn't because of your checkup?
No. How is Fukashi-san doing?
He's as usual.
I want to see him.
I should apologize him.
Is he at the carpentry?
Let's go together than.
Okay.
Tokyo 634 - Tokyo Musashi Broadcast
Okay, everyone! Let's have a tea break.
Okay.
Today's snack is my homemade churros.
- Wow, churros? - Yay!
Freshly fried.
You don't know churros?
How far does she go to win everyone's favor?
- Here. - Thank you!
Aren't you the same?
Huh?
If you want to win a man's favor, do it right.
Oh, right.
Sorry for the other day.
I'm happy to see you again, Tsugaru-san.
You can see me any time.
♫ If you have a concern, ask Amakusa ♫
♫ Let's ask Amakusa ♫
Hi, this is Amakusa Junpei.
Today, I've received an email again from Frankenstein, 120-years old.
- Again? - He read your email again.
Thank you for answering my concern,
"if a monster may kill a person, should he fall in love with a human?"
Thanks to you, I was able to fall in love.
Wow, that was fast.
But she is worried about her incurable illness.
What should I do in order to protect the life of person I love?
This is heavy. As you can see, the monster met his soul mate.
With that said, today I'm vising the author of the book "You Can Change Your Own Fate",
also a life science professor in National Fugaku University.
I'd like to ask Professor Tsurumaru Toshibumi
in person.
- For real? - Professor?
Professor Tsurumaru, may I come in?
Sure, come in.
I'll be frank, there is a person who wants to know
how to prefect the life of his lover who is suffering from an incurable disease.
What do you say to that?
He must to activate the patient's DNA.
DNA?
That's right.
DNA is also known as a blueprint of living things or a password for living things.
DNA isn't only to store biological information from parents.
It helps to function the organs in our bodies properly.
Also absorbing nutrition and turn into energy, are the purpose of DNA.
The purposes of genes in our bodies
still remain unknown.
I'm sure DNA holds the key to cure diseases.
Professor, make it short since we're running out of time.
The person who running out of time is the sender.
I can't take a short cut on important matters.
Sorry, but can you get to the point?
Make her happy.
And amuse her.
You must make her feel that she wants to live more and keep her motivated.
Above all, you must deeply wish that she will continue living.
But "your wish will come true" sounds like a religious conduct.
Loving someone is also wishing, is it not?
How can you make her smile and make her happy?
Wishing is a power of love.
Love stimulates the power of DNA and the vital force.
So you must love.
Although there is no scientific proof, a miracle could happen.
Unfortunately, the power of love hasn't been proven by science.
However, the power of love could change the purpose of DNA.
So you're saying, love can revolutionize genes?
In short, that's what I'm saying.
Interesting.
Frankenstein-san, please make her happy and smile.
Start a revolution by using your caring heart.
See you tomorrow.
If you have a concern at snack time at three,
♫ Let's ask Amakusa ♫
And we're out.
Professor, thank you very much.
Your wonderful words really spoke to our hearts.
Thank you for your hard work.
Did really someone send the concern to you?
Yes. Are you doubting us?
No.
We're not trying to trick anyone.
We've really received the concern from a listener.
Is that so?
You emailed the radio station for me.
I like you, Tsugaru-san.
I'm in love with you, Tsugaru-san.
Tsugaru-san please fall in love with me.
I'll make you happy, Tsugaru-san.
I'll make you smile, Tsugaru-san.
Then you'll be able to live a long life, Tsugaru-san.
Let's go for more walks together.
Let's have more fun together.
Let's make more wishes together.
Don't say such irresponsible things.
No matter what you think, nothing is going to change.
You shouldn't fall in love for the sake of something.
I can't fall in love.
I can't be your lover.
I'm sorry.
Ken-san, are you okay?
Don't worry too much.
On the bright side, there are many girls out there in the world.
Try to see the big picture.
Be quiet!
No other woman can save the lonely man.
- You have to bear it. - You have us!
Let's work up a sweat and work hard together.
What a way to have a broken heart on your coffee break, Idiot!
Inaniwa-senpai.
What is this?
This feeling...
This is a feeling that cannot be proven scientifically.
Is he a kid or something?
Hey, let's give him some space.
- Yes. - Yes.
- Hey, hey, hey. - What, what, what?
Do you think that this Frankenstein actually exists?
What nonsense are you talking about?
Well there's no way! A 120 year old?
Could it be a fantasy that Amakusa-san made up?
Fantasy?!
Quit it Ririe-chan.
If this is true then it's clearly staged.
What nonsense is this woman talking about?
Isn't that right?
Yeah, if that's true then this is a huge problem!
It means that he is tricking our listeners.
But I'm sure Amakusa-kun is aware of such consequences.
- Should we verify this? - But, how?
If you're out there please contact us.
Frankenstein-san! Please do so for Amakusa-san's sake, too.
You've gotta be kidding!
I really hope he'd contact us.
So Frankenstein-san, we look forward to your call!
- Are you okay? - Yes.
Yes, I'm fine.
Professor, did you agree to the interview knowing everything?
I was briefed on the content of the conversation ahead of time so...
I also recognized the name Amakusa from before.
I realized that it was his favorite radio show.
Then why did you suggest such a thing?
Such a thing?
Telling him to fall in love.
The person that he loves is you?
I figured that was the case.
Then...
Is him loving you a nuisance to you?
How can I possibly have a relationship with him?
We don't even know how to take care of him.
How we take care of his body is a totally separate issue.
Regardless of what his body might be, his heart is no different than a human's.
Don't you think so?
We can't control how he feels in his heart.
Unless we obliterate his body and soul from this world.
We can't.
No one's telling you to fall in love.
But if you've validated his existence,
you cannot be careless with his feelings.
♫ What should I wear today? ♫
♫ What should I eat? ♫
- Professor. - Yeah.
This is too sweet.
Hmmm?
Hey, drink up. Drinking and forgetting is best.
Well that's what they always say.
But the more you drink, it's harder to forget a heartbreak.
Iizuka-kun, you're a minor to begin with!
I've watched my mom go through such hardships.
Mature women tend to fall hard for men, alcohol, smoking, sweets and religion. And in that order, too!
Don't put me in the same category as you.
A mature man does not drink to forget.
He drinks to convince himself that he can forget.
In other words, it's pride!
What's pride? That pride turns into regret and then violence.
First, throw away that pride and admit your defeat!
I want to see Tsugaru-san.
-Whoa, Ken-san! - Good going! Sounds good!
You're getting drunk. Now it's time to show your pride.
What should I do to make Tsugaru-san happy?
It's appreciation, Ken.
I fight with my wife quite often, too.
But it's best to appreciate her in the end,
to appreciate the fact that she's with you.
Appreciation?
What's the point of being appreciated by a guy that you broke up with?
Even if what you wished for doesn't come true,
they will still be happy if you appreciate them.
How do you show your appreciation?
- Maybe give a gift as a token of appreciation? - Gross!
Idiot! Avoid giving gifts!
Your appreciation should be communicated through email.
It's easy to delete that way.
Don't do anything!
Don't do anything but keep praying secretly for the person's wish to come true.
To not be a bother and to root for her life is the true meaning of appreciation.
Surprisingly, you're very convincing.
Okay, guys! Also as a way of encouraging Ken...
To love is to hope for. Isn't it?
What can you do to make her smile and happy?
This power of hope is what love is all about. Isn't it?
Ken-san hasn't come back yet?
Don't worry. Everyone's with him.
I didn't say I'm worried about him.
Is Tsugaru-san sick?
What?
Don't tell me she doesn't have long to live.
No, that's not the case.
It's a difficult illness but
it hasn't been determined that it's incurable.
Are you stuck on the fact that your mom died?
Huh?
Maybe you want to save Tsugaru-san for your mom's sake, too.
Dad, you're so lucky!
Why? Because I'm popular with the ladies?
You're so simple.
I can't keep up with you.
♫ Even now. I can hear.
♫ The voice of my mom
All good!
Going up!
Ken! Here it comes!
Yes.
Ken-san!
Hey! Hey, are you okay?
- Ken! - Ken!
-Call an ambulance! - Pull yourself together!
- Ken! -Ken!
Inaniwa-senpai
Yes, hello?
What?!
Intensive Care Unit
Do you feel pain anywhere?
That's odd. How about here?
And here?
How did you get the scars?
Is it true that he fell from a high place?
From a rooftop of a three-story building, 7 to 8 meters high.
There is no indication of a scar or a bruise.
Let's take an x-ray and CT scan just in case.
Yes.
Senior Inaniwa!
Professor, I was about to call you.
How's his condition?
- He's fine. - What?
He fell from a high place, but he wasn't hurt at all.
Huh? Is that you, Tsugumi?
Sis.
Professor, this is my older sister.
Professor Tsurumaru from the university.
Thank you for looking after my younger sister.
I'm glad to see you doing well.
My sister's lifesaver...
What do you mean?
- Nothing. - Please excuse me.
Why are you all here?
He seems to be fine.
Is this his relative?
Professor Tsurumaru who looking after me at the university.
Oh, thank you for looking after my son.
Ah, a master carpenter...
A story of a carpenter? You like the story too?
I guess you're staying at the hospital tonight.
So you're sleeping here.
Everyone might get worried if you go home right away.
Well, I'm leaving now.
Thank you for coming.
Why did you fall off?
I don't know.
I thought I saw something.
Like what?
Jizo statue...
Jizo statue, the one we saw?
Yes.
Fukashi-san, let's check your temperature.
Okay.
What kind of relationship do you have with him?
He is a friend.
He is working at Senior Inaniwa's place.
He is one of our carpenters.
You know, I think I met him somewhere.
- Fukashi Ken-san. - Where?
Well, I'm not sure, but I saw him somewhere.
A man...
- Ah, it's the thief. - Not a thief!
Then what? Did you bring him to the house?
Are you in a relationship with him?
I'm not.
Tsugumi...
Oh, his temperature.
It's normal just like everyone else.
I guess so.
Professor, why is he fine after falling off?
Probably, his cells regenerate several times,
or extremely faster than humans.
Tsugaru-san has collected
the documents of Professor Fukashi Kentaro's research.
What?
Fukashi Kentaro?
Is this a professor who supposed to be Ken-san's father?
That's him.
According to his documents,
he discovered the fungi that give eternal life.
Supposedly, the professor administrated the fungi into his body.
By using the same fungus,
he was able to regenerate different cells.
But I think, the fungus wasn't the source of the cause.
It was the DNA in the fungus,
which means, the gene of the fungus made that happen.
DNA?
The gene in the bacteria has mutated his genes.
This is how the cells in his body were revived.
As a result, his body possesses the special ability.
The professor only spoke of the fungus that give eternal life,
because DNA and genes weren't mentioned anywhere back then.
Even an electron microscope didn't exist in the era.
So Ken-san's cells are not going to die ever?
At least, we know he's lived 120 years.
If that's the case,
even after witnessing the death of people he cares about,
he was forced to keep on living.
It must've been hard for him.
That proves that he is a real monster.
I don't think so.
Me on the other hand, I can't live a long life.
But he is forced to live a long life.
Is there a significant difference in our bodies.
If you know, tell me.
Fukashi Ken-san, let's check your temperature.
Excuse me.
What are those?
Who are you?
I am Fukashi Ken.
That's gross.
Don't you ever go near my sister!
My sister has a weak body.
If you're with her, I'm sure Tsugumi will die.
I'm obligated to protect my sister.
Don't go near Tsugumi!
Don't harm Tsugumi!
Was this the same stuff that was growing on my skin?
There is something wrong with him.
Before I collapsed,
I think he did something to me.
Sis,
Fukashi-san didn't do anything wrong.
He's always been afraid...
because of his body
Tsugumi...
I'm just like him.
Tsugumi.
I thought I saw something.
Like what?
Jizo statue.
Fukashi-san!
Tsugaru-san?
I shouldn't touch humans.
I may kill humans.
That's why I shouldn't touch you, Tsugaru-san.
We can't do anything.
We can't even hug each other.
But I am in love with you.
Is that a bad thing?
Is it wrong for me to be with you?
I don't understand
what is like to be in love.
It is to like someone.
Wanting to be with someone.
I think there is more to it.
More to it?
To think of a person you love
and think what I can do for the person in order for him to live,
I think that's a part of being in love.
But, I don't have the confidence.
Because I can see love in my eyes.
Even with a microscope.
I don't want my mind to be confused with such matters.
I don't want to be sad about my short life.
There is no use for me to fall in love.
For you being here,
I'm thankful.
I want to make you happy.
With a smile,
for you to live a long life,
I will make a wish.
So you won't wither, Tsugaru-san.
I...
will start a revolution.
Yes.
Amakusa-san, he's here.
This is Inaniwa-san, a grad student
who studies at Professor Tsurumaru's lab in Fugaku University.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. I'm Amakusa Junpei.
Are you an acquaintance of Frankenstein-san?
I am. Frankenstein is staying in my house.

~ Preview ~ I think Ken-san left for Tokyo.
Do you want to appear on the radio show with me?
Radio? I'm Frankenstein, 120-year-old.
We're making a raid.
Thank you very much.
I like you.
