Ken-san left for Tokyo.
Tokyo?
He told Amakusa-san that he wants to be on the radio show.
It's almost three o'clock. Let's call the snack man.
I wonder where he is today.
Hello, I'm here.
This is Amakusa Jumpei.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Luv From Evil Team @ viki
♫ It's time for you and me ♫
♫ A new direction for you and me ♫
♫ If you have a concern, ask Amakusa ♫
♫ Let's ask Amakusa ♫
To comply the request for you, Tokachi-san and Ririe-chan.
I bought him here today.
It's Frankenstein-san.
Are you kidding me?
So you are the Frankenstein-san?
Yes. I'm the Frankenstein, 120 years old.
Ken-san is on the radio show.
Oh! He is on the radio.
- Inaniwa Family! - is this a radio station?
Yes, this is a studio in a radio station.
So handsome!
Frankenstein-san, you are so cool.
The wench has her eyes on Ken-san already.
Ririe-chan, he is pretty handsome, isn't he?
Hey, come sit here.
So, why are you here today?
You're the one who asked him to come, Tokachi-san.
That was you.
You can ask him anything you want.
You can tell him your concern or anything.
So we're asking Frankenstein-san to solve our concerns?
Wow!
♪ Let's ask Frankenstein... today.
Frankens... it's too long. Can I call you Franken-san?
I was worried about you, Franken-san.
Franken-san, are you mad at me?
No, I am not.
I said a horrible thing such as "if you think of killing someone, kill yourself first."
Why did you think that you may kill someone?
That's because... I am weak.
- Weak? - Yes.
I'm unsure of myself.
I know. I also want to kill Tokachi-san sometimes.
- Why? - I feel uneasy.
You are mad, not uneasy.
Franken-san, what kind of person do you think you are?
What kind?
I'm not human.
Frankenstein's Love
- Episode 6 -
I was born in a deep forest.
Don't say it, Ken-san.
I have died once.
Although I died,
my father who was a professor in medicine, revived me 120 years ago.
Ken-san, what are you saying?
This is bad. Not funny at all.
Okay. Please leave.
- I heard you, so please... - And then?
You want to hear more?
After meeting this particular person, I left the forest.
You fell in love with a human, didn't you?
That's right.
The exit is right there, so...
Who is it that you fell in love with?
Doesn't she have a fatal illness?
Yes, but she is very strong.
She is strong and kind.
But I'm completely opposite from her.
So I want to be strong and kind, just like her.
Although I'm still lacking.
Because I didn't know anything about humans,
I didn't understand humans.
I've lived 100 years longer than she has, but I knew nothing.
So I want to ask the listeners of the radio show.
What should I do to learn about humans?
How can I become a stronger person?
A person can change by giving serious thoughts.
Amakusa-san taught me so.
My concern is, how can I protect her
so I can live with her in the human world?
In order to do so, I need to know more about humans.
I want to change myself.
Everyone, please tell us how can Frankenstein become more like a human?
See you tomorrow. If you have a concern in a snack time at three.
♫ Let's ask Amakusa ♫
Ken-san seems lost for not knowing himself.
Only if he remembers his past.
How do you cure amnesia?
By giving him a strong stimulation.
Such as getting hit by lightning?
- Or no response on his joke? - He's used to that.
But it doesn't mean he had a happy life before.
What the heck are you?
- Good work today. - Good work.
Good work everyone.
- You were amazing. - Amakusa!
Do you think this is acceptable?
I don't know where you found this guy.
How long are you going to prolong this story?
Okay. Okay.
With all due respect, but you are the one who asked for it.
Hey, who cares?
Now the story has a good ending.
What's so good about this?
It's just confusing the listeners.
Amakusa, is this story interesting to you?
- Well... that's up to listeners to decide. - What?
He's right. Let's see the listeners' response.
How about taking pictures with everyone and uploading to the website.
I think Franken-san will appeal to the public.
Is that right?
I also want to take pictures of him.
Everyone, look here and smile.
Ken-san, look that way.
Are you ready? Say cheese.
It's done.
I think he is very clever.
He understands the characteristic of radio.
It's not that he didn't lie.
He's realized that he doesn't need to lie.
Do you mean that he calculated all that?
He has a great capacity to adapt to environmental changes quickly.
He made that happen by falling in love with someone.
If he continues to change,
can he live as a normal human being?
I don't know that yet.
But that's also a risk.
He releases the fungus when his emotions run wild.
If his emotions become more complicated,
who knows when and what kind of fungi he will release.
Fukashi-san!
Welcome back.
I'm back.
How did you manage to return alone?
I followed Amakusa-san's directions.
- Let's go home now. - Yes.
Was it fun?
Yes. It was fun.
Why did you decide to appear on the radio show?
Because I want to know more about you, Tsugaru-san.
In order to do so, I need to know more about humans.
Someone told you that?
No. This is what I want to do.
I didn't quite understand the radio show, but
congratulations on your radio debut. Cheers!
Cheers!
Thank you very much.
But Ken, why are you pretending
to be 120 years old?
The Frankenstein who resurrected from death,
just like the His Excellency Demon. (a singer)
By the way, don't you think that Fukashi-ken and Franken sound alike?
That's why I gave him the radio name of Frankenstein.
Oh, that's how it was!
Good thinking, Young Master.
Oh, so you made up that character.
- What about you Tsugaru-san? - Huh?
Being confessed to on the radio...
"I fell in love with a human and left the forest."
Are you impersonating Ken-san?
Yes.
What a pain.
"I can't become human."
That's an impersonation of Tetsuya (an actor), isn't it?
"I've lived 100 years longer than her but I cannot become human."
"But I love her."
- Awww! - Woohoo!
Shut up! You guys sound like a bunch of horny idiots.
What do you mean by horny idiots?
But maybe Mikoto's right.
Even Tsugaru-san has hardships in her life.
And Ken-san is trying to cheer her up.
You guys shouldn't tease them.
Look who's talking.
I'm fine. I' m doing well, as you can see.
Please don't worry about me.
I will protect Tsugaru-san.
Wooo! Yay! Woohoo!
Be quiet! You're so loud!
Let's drink. Let's have a drink.
I'll let you have the most delicious smelts. I go get it.
The most delicious ones?
Paradise Heaven
Ask Amakusa!
How long does the story continue? Ask Amakusa!
I wonder...
If there is no response,
they may delete the photos.
Excuse me.
Hello? How was he?
There was nothing unusual.
I don't understand why he would be dangerous.
It's fine as long as you don't provoke him.
He should be fine if he's not too upset.
Oh, how exactly could he be dangerous?
You don't need to worry about that.
By they way, is he continuing to be on the radio show?
I can't let him go just yet.
We had a great response from our listeners.
Ken-sen is really popular.
How interesting.
Um... Can I talk to Ken-san if he's near you?
Sure.
Ken-san, Amakusa-san wants to talk to you.
Amakusa-san?
You can talk to him now.
Go ahead.
Hello, this is Amakusa.
Hello, this is Fukashi Ken.
Ken-san, everyone is rooting for you.
Rooting?
Yes. There are a plenty of people who don't think of themselves as human.
I think they sympathize with you wanting to learn about humans.
Ken-san, why don't we go meet the listeners who gave you messages.
Hello, this is Tsugaru.
Oh Tsugaru-san, hello!
Is Fukashi-san going to be on the radio show again?
Ken-san has inspired so many people.
All the listeners are watching over your relationship.
This is the proof of him being connected to the society.
Isn't it great?
I understand.
I'll appear on the radio again.
That's great. I'll contact you when all the arrangements are done.
Okay.
I've heard, the Franken is getting really popular.
Popular?
After seeing the photo on our website,
he really doesn't look 120 years old.
It's funny. People are taking him seriously.
The support project may establish soon,
so he can live in the human world.
Support project?
Just like myself, they are so kind.
You were doubting his identity in the beginning.
But I really saw him with my own eyes.
It's almost three o'clock.
That's my line.
I wonder where Amakusa-san is today.
Forget it. Just call him.
The snack man, Amakusa-san!
♫ There is a mystery in our daily life ♫
♫ A new idea for an encounter and a separation ♫
♫ If you're confused, listen to Amakusa ♫
♫ Listen to Amakusa ♫
Hello, this is Amakusa Junpei.
What you just heard was the second verse of the Amakusa song.
He is here with us today.
Hello, it's Frankenstein-san.
Hello, I'm Frankenstein.
We've received a message for Franken, so let me read it.
It's from ClaimerClaimer-san of Tokyo, 21 years old.
- Franken-san, nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
When I heard you on the radio, I could relate
to you feeling like you're not human.
If you want to learn about humans,
I recommend you work at a convenience store.
I'm currently working at a convenience store.
Often I feel like not being treated as human.
With that said, we are here at a convenience store.
Are you the ClaimerClaimer-san who sent us the message?
Yes, that's me.
I brought you Franken.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
What do you think of him?
Well... He is good-looking.
He is, isn't he?
Today, Franken is going to work with you.
We have a permission from the store,
so please teach him about the job.
Okay, I will.
I'll be in your care.
Likewise.
- Franken, let's go inside. - Yes.
Please follow me.
Tokachi-san and Ririe-chan, back to you till we're ready.
What?
What's going on? I don't know what to do all of a sudden.
I can't wait to find out what's going to happen.
What if nothing happens?
Are we broadcasting him working a part-time job?
Okay, okay. Let's listen to a song till they're ready.
Why did Ken skip work to work on a different job?
Well, I'm sure he's gaining life experience.
I wonder what exactly Amakusa-san wants to do with him.
- Who knows. - I hope he doesn't freak out about something.
But then, that wouldn't be as fun as a radio show.
Welcome.
Tokachi-san and Ririe-chan, this is Amakusa again.
Franken is doing well.
I think this customer tosses money.
Welcome.
Franken is scanning the bar-code without a problem.
He is a quick learner.
Please ask if he wants to heat up his bento.
Would you like your bento heated up?
Oops,
he can't hear Franken since he's wearing headphones.
Sir, would you like your bento heated up?
He said yes.
Okay. Please tell him the total.
Yes.
The second challenge is ringing up the total.
767 yen is your total.
767 yen. What'll happen next?
He pulled out 1,000 yen.
Oh no, he tossed the money.
He tossed the money as if it were an offertory box.
From 1,000 yen.
233 yen is your change.
Franken tossed the change as well.
You! What kind of behavior is that?
The customer is mad. He's a little upset.
Which he should be.
I thought you liked your money tossed to you.
Huh? Where is my bento?
Oh, I'm heating up for you now.
Why? I didn't ask for it.
He's extremely mad right now.
I've asked you if you want your bento heated up, you nodded.
I didn't nod. Why are you heating it up without asking?
I want to heat my bento to my favorite temperature.
I'll exchange it right away.
You are sure about that?
That was the last one, so go grab it from a factory.
He seems to be a very picky customer.
The clerk ran off to look for the same bento, but there's none.
By the way, you've never asked me if I want my bento heated up.
- I did ask. - You didn't!
Oh, Franken grabbed his headphones and put them on the ears.
Oh, it's too loud and you can't hear...
How are you supposed to hear anything?
Can't hear anything. Of course not.
Why are you touching my thing?
You!
What is going on?
I don't know.
You!
I'm sorry.
I didn't know the temperature of a bento is so important to you.
Thank you for teaching me that.
Shut up.
- You're mocking me, aren't you? - Not at all.
I'm glad to know. Thank you for teaching me.
The customer seems to be calming down.
By the looks of it, Franken was able to settle the matter.
This is stupid.
Thank you for coming.
See you tomorrow. If you have a concern at a snack time...
♫ Let's ask Amakusa ♫
So boring...
as a listener of radio.
Huh? What do you mean by extending their time?
Are you extending the time for Amakusa's segment?
Well... As long as he can have Franken, I'll let him do whatever.
Can you support him?
I can't tell what does he want.
Yuhara-san, do you really think this is interesting?
It's not for me to decide.
Give him your support.
♫ It's time for you and me ♫
♫ A new direction for you and me ♫
♫ If you have a concern, ask Amakusa ♫
♫ Let's ask Amakusa ♫
Hello, this is Amakusa Junpei.
Hello, this is Frankenstein.
Today, we've received a message
from Solarmame-san of Kanagawa, 37 years old.
Franken-san, if you want to learn about humans,
its best to witness a divorce discussion.
You'd never want to fall in love with anyone.
That's what she wrote.
- What a shocking message. - What a shocking message.
Yes, this is unbelievable.
Now, let's go see the divorce discussion.
Cafe Aoyama Ichibankan
Hello, I'm Amakusa.
Are you the Solarmame-san who gave us a message?
Nice to meet you. I'm Frankenstein.
I'm a fan of yours.
What's going on?
- We are here for a live radio show. - Radio?
We are on-air now, so watch your mouth.
You've got to be kidding me.
Sorry to disturb you. I'm Amakusa Junpei.
I'm Frankenstein.
Who?
He is a monster who's eager to learn the true nature of humans. Right?
So annoying.
Franken, do you have any questions for those two?
Were you married because you fell in love with each other?
Right. But the love ended after we got married.
Then he fell in love with someone else.
Someone else?
He switched girlfriends one after another.
Basically, he ignored my existence.
I didn't ignore you.
We have our differences, but I treated you the best I could.
We have our differences? Did you get that?
- I didn't understand what he meant. - You see?
Whenever he gets caught cheating,
he becomes offensive and says "we can get divorced any time".
He has no intention of quitting.
What happened was, I fell in love with someone else.
Then I agreed to a divorce.
Only then, he said he doesn't want a divorce.
He calls me a betrayer and refuses to divorce me.
Men and women have different standpoints.
How is that different?
I have no right or qualification to cheat because I'm living off of your earnings?
- That's exactly right. - There you go again.
This is the reality of love.
He selfishly changes the value of the partner. Do you get it?
Sort of.
Who do you agree with? Me or him?
I don't agree with either of you.
But I can tell you two are sad.
Sad?
Yes.
You don't seem happy although you love different partners.
Well... I'm sad because he's refusing to divorce me.
So the real nature of love isn't happy, but sad.
That's right. That's the reality of love.
I am sad too.
Franken, you're feeling empty, rather than sad.
What's the difference between feeling sad and empty?
It sad to be betrayed by someone you trust.
Feeling empty is when someone is not worth trusting.
Whether he loves someone, gets married or cheats on his wife,
he only makes people feel empty.
There are people like that. Am I right?
Shut up!
I agree to divorce you.
Amakusa-san, are you okay?
Finally...
This is great. Thank you so much.
Yes! Thank you.
Okay, see you tomorrow.

- Can you get this done today? - Yes.
- How are you doing? - Good. How does it look?
- Looks good. - I'll smooth it out later.
- Hello? - Inaniwa-san, nothing happened today.
Are you trying to cause trouble on purpose?
Isn't that what you are hoping for?
What should I do next?
Don't blame me if something goes wrong.
Senpai, good afternoon.
Did you hear the radio show?
I was a little nervous.
Me too.
What time is he coming back?
I want to be there by 6:30 pm.
Franken
Tsugaru-san?
I'm back.
Welcome back.
You are becoming more popular, Ken-san.
Popular?
That means you are connecting with many people.
It's not too hard for you?
No, it's not too hard.
Radio teaches me about humans.
The more I learn about humans, the better I can protect you.
Inaniwa Carpentry
Hey, Ken!
You're not going to work with us anymore?
Shishikai, calm down.
That's not my intention.
Then, put more effort on your job.
But Ken-san's radio is funny so I like it.
Thank you so much.
I thought people would get tired of you soon, but they seem to like you.
Maybe we'll see another side of him.
His Excellency Demon became a sumo critic from a singer.
I've learned a lot more about participating in radio than listening.
Don't get carried away.
You're doing this for Tsugaru-san, right?
Yes.
Don't get the wrong idea.
You're a carpenter, not a celebrity.
He has the right to choose.
No one can decided his life for him.
You are the one who is wrong.
Okay now.
We don't have the right to isolate him.
- Come on. - Let's drink.
This is super delicious. So good.
Tsugaru-san, have you ever felt an empty feeling?
Empty feeling?
I try not to think that way.
Try not to think?
My father remarried after my mother died.
What do you mean by that?
Do you feel sad or empty?
I don't feel sad or empty.
I'm glad that my father is happy.
I'm relieved that you're not feeling empty.
I've never felt empty about someone.
I have a fetal illness called branch atheromatous disease.
The blood vessel in my brain could tear or clog at any time.
I could die at any moment.
I want to make you feel happy rather than empty.
Thank you.
I want to do the same for you.
♫ That is the happiest moment to me ♫
I'll take you home.
Murozawa-san, do you know where Ken-san went?
- I don't. - I see.
You know...
Hm?
Did you introduce him to the radio to separate him from Tsugaru-san?
Your action doesn't suit you.
Murozono-san, don't butt in if you know nothing.
You should call me Mikoto.
Amakusa-san / Tokyo Musashi Broadcast
Calling...
Hello, this is Amakusa.
Hello, Amakusa-san.
Can you stop casting Ken-san on the radio?
It's too late to be saying that now.
If you're so worried, why don't you see for yourself
Ken-san being so excited.
It's almost three o'clock. Let's call the snack man and the monster.
Where are you guys today?
Hello, this is Amakusa Junpei.
Hi, this is Frankenstein.
Today, we came to a kindergarten.
The person who sent us a message, is waiting here. So let's go.
Okay.
- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.
Are you the mom who sent us a message?
Yes.
What did you tell Franken?
Well, my son was listening your radio show
after he came home from kindergarten.
Suddenly he said,
he's been called a monster in the kindergarten.
A monster? The cute boy who is sitting here is your son?
Yes. Actually, my son has a prosthetic leg.
Other children didn't mean to bully him,
he was called a monster because he's different.
After listening to your radio show,
"this monster is trying the best he could",
that's what he told me.
I see.
So I was wondering if Franken-san would cheer him on.
I think he could race, which he's been avoiding out of fear.
So I selfishly submitted the request.
I understand.
What do you think, Franken?
What is race?
To race is to run as fast as you can with other people.
Run as fast as you can to reach for a goal.
Okay.
Do you want to run with me?
I've never raced before.
Do you want to try with me?
The boy nodded.
Let's race!
I've asked other kindergartners to cooperated with us.
Let's go!
Okay, stop right here.
Don't push, okay?
The boy will run before his mom's eyes for the first time.
We'll continue after the traffic information.
Hey, are you jealous of the monster?
Or Amakusa-san?
I'm not.
Hello again, this is Amakusa.
We are all set for the race.
The boy is standing at the starting line with the other runners.
Franken is also running with him.
Young Man and Franken, are you two ready?
Ready.
How about you, Young Man?
Ready.
I think he'll do well.
On your marks.
Get ready.
Other runners took off very quickly. And the boy...
just started to run with all his might.
The boy fell down!
You can do it.
I lived in a forest all alone.
I saw no one and lived a lonely life.
That's when I heard a story of a monster on radio.
I learned there are other monsters in this world.
I was very surprised
because that was something called a sport broadcast.
And the person who was called Monster,
was an amazing player.
So a monster means a strong person.
The person is called a monster because he is strong.
You, too, can become the monster.
You can become the monster to make your mom happy.
I'll try my best, just like you.
Let's do it together.
Together, we can make our loved ones happy.
You can do this.
Come on!
You can do it.
That's it.
You can do it.
You can do it!
You can do it!!
You can do it!
You can do it!!
Timing and Subtitles by The Luv From Evil Team @ viki.com
Monster, you can do this!!
So complicated.
Come on!
Inaniwa-senpai, take the other end.
You're almost there.
You did so well.
I did it!
You did it!
Good job.
You did well!
- Good job! - Good job!
- You did it. - I did it.
Good job!
I did it.
He did it!
Good work today. Today's story was very touching.
Thank you very much.
Go ahead and eat. Franken, you too, eat.
Thank you for the meal.
All of you were just great.
I was touched by the boy, Franken, and you, Amakusa.
However, it's not necessary on my show.
Anything admirable or inspiring.
A radio show has to relate to listeners' daily lives.
Each person has a different lifestyle.
I know that. What I'm saying is,
if a radio show broadcasts something extreme,
it'd mess up an ordinary life of a worker who's listening.
No matter how I have a bad or sad day,
I want people to listen to something rather boring.
It may not be a captivating story,
but it's comforting to listen to.
That's why I started the show.
But many people enjoy listening to Franken's story.
But that's an out-of-the-ordinary life.
There's nothing normal about the story.
You're toying with our listeners' feelings.
If it's interesting enough, are we allowed to do whatever, just like a TV variety?
I'm not the who decides what's good for my show.
What you're doing
makes me feel empty.
I can't help but feel empty.
You.
You need to reveal yourself to be on a radio show.
Franken?
I won't allow any dirty tricks on my show.
Wait a minute.
What is your motive?
Do you want to be pampered by the public because you're the girlfriend of the monster?
She has nothing to do with this.
Nothing?
Then, she must be playing around.
You must be lying about your illness, too.
Tokachi-san, you're being rude.
You are the one being rude. Apologize to my listeners.
Apologize to my radio show which I worked so hard to establish.
You just want to be the center of attention.
You're shameless, an enemy of radio.
Fukashi-san.
What are you doing? Are you hiding something there?
What the...

~ Preview ~ I'm afraid to be with you, Tsugaru-san.
I'm your No.1 fan.
Don't go near Franken.
I introduced him to the radio show to separate you two.
Why don't you reveal your true form to everyone.
I don't want to harm anyone.
