this is a project that you need to work on
♬｢both our dreams is similar to this pure song｣
Hansel, the brother goes to the demon's tower to save her
that's no good huh?
I think Hansel should be the one that is captured
I finally found something I want to do
♬｢the road we take is an endless country road｣
♬｢for you, the far away beloved｣
what do you think about this?
it seems that for Natsu a new era has started
hey!

cheers!! cheers!!
Natsu, since when were you able to drink so much?
I was just thirsty...
Yumi huh? stay over, tonight!!
don't worry, we can still get home everyone's going home, right?
it's ok!! just stay over!! woah…!
are you already drunk? I'm not drunk...
Yumiko-chan, could you do that for her? Natsu's going to feel lonely
Natsu's not going to feel lonely she's just worried
what do you mean by that!? I actually am worried
yea, about our family in Hokkaido what?
you're not worried about me you're worried about our family in Hokkaido
that's why you try to do things I wouldn't want you to do
whatevers...
you two are so honest with each other, aren't you? just like real sisters
Natsu & I are more than real sisters
sisters with no lies, right Natsu?
if that's so, why do you lie? what do you mean?
you don't tell us who you're with or where you're staying
lying and hiding the truth are different what's the difference?
ok ok ok, we ain't needsta bicker now...
see!! your country accent!! oops...
because you let your guard down your natural accent comes out
sorry!! ahh!!
so～ did you elope here? what...?
if we look at it from the eyes of general society I supposed you can put it that way
whaaat!? eloping!?
wait... is your partner a college student, too?
yes, from the same university
are your parents opposing you guys?
our parents don't even know anything so there's no opposing anything to begin with
but... you're eloping right? that's why I said...
from the perspective of general society
who cares about society we're asking about you!
could one survive without any ties to society...?
huh!? please could you keep quiet?
my apologies please continue
it's because we cannot survive without society that why we ended up eloping
what do you mean? if we stayed in Hokkaido...
our parents would find out and they'd ask, what is your relationship?
do you have intentions on getting married? getting approval or disapproval...
that is what we wanted to be free from
interesting see? understood
you don't need to understand! I can't keep up with all of this
my apologies please continue
Yumiko-chan do you love this guy...?
you're sounding like a robot!
Yukijiro, what is love?
huh? love...
whattsa love? your accent slips, now!?
I'll tell you Love is determination
dee - ter - mih - nay - shun ?
I don't simply feel love for a man's presence
but, I can feel love towards his determination ok...
so if that determination disappears love also disappears?
exactly! to feel love for someone's presence that's absolute nonsense
not sure about that...
isn't that what love is?
doesn't what you say sound like such rational love?
to accept the concept of irrational love that is what makes women unhappy
that's of the past
I can't understand all of this!
because it doesn't become new or become old
isn't that what makes love, love? isn't love...
woah! are you ok!? are you ok!?
w w w what is love to you?
stop jibber-jabbering!
I feel sick...
isn't it so nice to be young? Ayami-chan
to be able to talk about love is so wonderful
♬～
♬ the word of love don't let me sleep ♬
♬ just as a dream it can easily fade away ♬
♬ the road taken because you love is an endless country road ♬
how are you feeling? are you ok?
hey, Yumi yea?
explain to me so I can understand about what?
why you came to Tokyo what kind of person he is
he is... striving to become a writer
a writer... like novels?
not only novels
because he likes Jazz, in our college papers he's been writing Jazz commentary
does he really like you, Yumi?
you don't need to worry about me being scammed by a guy or anything
you'll know when you meet him, Natsu
then let me meet him already
eventually... come on, let's go to sleep
just one futon? yea
I guess it's ok
♬～
Natsu... yea?
sorry for causing trouble
you know I don't consider it trouble
good night
so today... what you gonna do?
for starters, I need to find work
you're going to look around here?
if I don't work how can we survive?
you're not going back to college?
haven't decided on that yet...
if it happens, it happens either way would be ok
but in that case... you would need to tell your parents
they're paying for everything, right?
when the decision is made, I'll tell them
thank you for the food
oh don't worry, don't worry, I'll do it. oh ok. thank you for letting me stay
leaving already?
at this point, I think he'll be worried
hey, if it's just for the time being...
you want to work here?
huh? what?
the pay won't be that great, but...
you'd be able to come whenever you want
even during lunch time
also, this place is acting as Saitaro's production firm, right?
uhh… yea it'd be nice if you can take calls
really? are you sure? yep
then, is it ok until I find a job? of course
then... I look forward to it ...likewise
well, I'll come back then ok ok…
we'll be waiting thank you very much
Ayami-san, Onii-chan (big bro) is it really ok?
won't you feel safer just being able to see her face?
that's why…
ok～ take care… thank you very much
the picture development process has started for "Hansel & Gretel"
umm... Nacchan huh?
would you mind taking a look at these base graphics that I made?
umm... Mako-san, if you don't mind, as well?
Of course, I will ok
♬～
it looks like it was done well yes…
but, let's take a look
just like this…
wooooow…
the sketch lines look clean even from the back
come on, that's common knowledge
so different compared to when Okuhara started yes…
did you have to bring that up? my bad...
this is good do you want to draw up the motion for this?
yes! oh, Akane-chan, can you take a look after I finish?
oh… uhh yea, of course
th, thunx ok... thank you
just a tad over-friendly... but can't really complain
already adding -chan to our names?
Kamiji Kouya…
let us call him Kamicchi
just because it's a short-film for a learning experience
we still need to have the intention of this project going public
that is understood so in this story
there are no intentions of displaying any social satire?
of course not that is not why this is being created
to go out of your way to put a demon above the witch...
a demon and witch...
you're not trying to portray the U.S. - Japan relationship, are you?
how the viewer interprets this is this not their freedom?
of course they have a choice...
simply, we want children to be able to enjoy it
that way of thinking is that not the way of the past?
...the past? hey... Ikkyu-san...
for comic movies.... to assume that it's only for children
♬～
hey, Okuhara-san yes?
what happened to that girl? that girl?
oh, you mean, Yumi?
for now, she'll be working at Fuusha
the way she thinks... I don't think she's wrong...
huh?
for women... marriage is a goal, right?
to even think we should or shouldn't....
based on what women prioritize our lifestyle is determined by this
work or marriage... we need to choose one or the other?
no matter how we end up choosing we shouldn't be criticized for it
♬～
welcome back welcome back
it's raining pretty hard Yumi, I'm home
here... thank you
Natsu, I let you meet him huh?
what…!?
Natsu... of course Jii-chan (grandpa) wouldn't come here
but, Yumiko-chan...
that's the type of guy you like, huh?
I'm Takayama, Shoji
Nice to meet you, I'm Natsu
pretty good looking guy
because Sho-chan he copied Jii-chan's style, right?
huh? I showed him a photo
remember, the group photo that the newspaper took?
this person took a liking to Jii-chan so he started growing out his facial hair
you actually took a liking to Jii-chan?
he has the aura of a 1st generation pioneer
now, I can listen to Jazz with a glass of whiskey in one hand
snacking on some nuts doesn't it suit this look?
he's usually munching on dumplings drinking tea...
welcome home I'm home welcome home
Yumiko-chan I heard you're working here?
yep. you working hard, too, Yukijiro? yea
any calls? for work?
none I see...
Onii-chan... ??
a guest?
Yumi's... whatchamacallit...that thing!!
huh? the guys she's eloping with!? you stupid!!

thank you for coming
umm… Takayama-san
oh, Takayama-san, huh where you staying now?
I'm not going to say oh～ so cautious
we are eloping
we're not going to fall for that
Remi-chan, the usual oden? er... money...
just pay when you have it oh, then everything!!
this person is... Yukijiro's girlfriend?
huh? no way
Remi-chan is Saitaro-san's girlfriend no way
I'm over Sai-chan he's been too chicken
oh～ thank goodness
but, you guys are comrades, right?
comrades? I suppose you can say that
this person and I are comrades, too
what does this person want to do in Tokyo?
a writer writer?
Jazz commentary, was it? Jazz?
if you like Jazz, like...
Glenn Miller? Benny Goodman? I have records Want me to play some?
actually, I like modern Jazz modern...?
if you have Coltrane or Garland please play that
kottranej? kawland...?
Shinjuku is in the process of becoming a hub of modern Jazz
if you don't know that, you're outdated
woah... what do you mean by outdated?
yep… reeeeally outdated a survivor of the Moulin days…
for each person to have their own treasures that's common practice
to be called outdated for that is simply absurd
you're in the movie industry with that mentality? what?
music and movies to change with time is obvious
to not notice this and be stuck with the mind of the past
how is that wrong for me to call that outdated?
however, I didn't call it wrong
as you said, to each his own
you know what I'll be waiting at the usual Jazz cafe
oh, ok. I'll be there later I'll pay for this
you should take this
sorry, did we make him mad?
well, it's natural for Nacchan to get angry
I mean, I'mma get what he means'n all
but they is other ways of sayin' it and you should watch your country accent!
he's a successor of a certain rich person he even has a designated wife
so that's why you two ran away before graduation?
we didn't run. please say, we stepped out of all the constraints
morning good morning
morning
good morning oh, mornin'
everyone's so early
umm... I'll be joining you all in drawing up base graphics, from today
huh? you're going to help us? why is that?
we don't have much time... nonetheless, we need to complete this short film
what happened?
well... we need to make sure kids can enjoy this
making this a fun and action-filled 'Hansel & Gretel'...
it's ok, right? that's ok, right? right?
yes… what exactly happened?
Ikkyu-san, you know…
isn't that way of thinking, something of the past?
the past? hey, Ikkyu-san...
to think that comic movies are just for kids
going forward, we need to make comic movies for adults, as well
I adon't agree
the target of comic movies still need to be for kids
then... what happens when these kids grow up to be adults?
when watching the same comic movie on top of feeling nostalgia
would there not be a new discovery of enjoyment?
I think there would be...
if they felt enjoyment when they were kids
that same sense should still exist even after growing up
to preserve those dreams and hope shouldn't that be the mission of these comic movies?
if the dreams were like toys perhaps that's ok
toys?
things we may have not known when we were kids there are things we discover when we become adults
unless such comic movies are created
just as kids' toys don't you think they will eventually be disposed of?
disposed of…? I believe that comic movies
are not inferior to other movies not only that, more so
the production quality needs to evolve or else, they will not survive the future
Sakaba-kun, I understand
however... regardless that there is meaning there or not
you will make sure that kids can simply enjoy it, right?
if you cannot achieve that no matter how much you raise up these ideals
it's going to be labeled as 'boring'
that... if you cannot do that
you have failed
yes...
well, we don't want to make it boring, right?
wait... is that why we need to work so hard?
in order to save Ikkyu-san?
that's a motivation-killer
no... it's not for Ikkyusan it's for the project, itself
also, I am determined that Mako-chan and Nacchan
succeed on this project
this short film is to achieve that
good morning
huh? did something happen?
you're late, a little
sorry... but, I stayed up all night
and made all of these base graphics
could you take a look and let me know if they're good?
kami (God) - like timing...
...huh?
why did you say such a thing to Naka-san?
I got caught up in the conversation I didn't mean to say it...
so you didn't really mean it?
actually... I did not lie
to say that Naka-san's comic movies are old how dare you...
how could you say such a thing?
not what he makes I said, the way he thinks is old
how is that different!?
well... I suppose so...
what!?
why do you get angry?
huh?
because you respect Naka-san?
of course, that is the reason
what Naka-san creates is wonderful
it's entertaining and cute
it captures children's hearts and adults can see it as cute, as well
even you have a concept of cute, huh?
I love cute things
don't say that with a straight face...
but... children don't simply feel 'cute
it's not simply 'funny' either
they are living, soaking in a variety of feelings from the world
of course...
even when I was a child, I encountered an air raid
wandering the burned ruins I searched for my family
fortunately, my parents survived
that solitude... that feeling of despair from starvation I will never forget
the cold-heartedness of adults and the powerlessness of being a child I experienced more than I can bear
but on the other hand, the love of a stranger you experienced this, right?
such childhood experiences is what you and I are composed of...
♬～
am I wrong?
♬～
what are you trying to say? so...
to create something different from Naka-san this is our mission
Naka-san
please let us finish this project to the end
we beg of you
there seems to be a misunderstanding
I don't intend on holding you guys back
please let us create it as what we decide on together
I understand that, too
but... even you seem influenced by that Sakaba-kun, too, huh?
I was skeptical at first, too
Sakaba-san and Okuhara-san's enthusiasm is genuine
both of them are thinking of the future the future of animation
I'm surprised that you think so highly of them...
not sure about Ikkyu-san...
but Okuhara-san... Naka-san, you're te one who first recognized Nacchan's talents
I...
I want you to be a different animator than Naka-san and them
what kind of animator is that?
one who can portray the front and back of the world presenting reality beyond reality
enabling children
to experience the entirety this sort of animator
I want to aim to be such a producer, myself
♬～
together, with you, I want to make this
together...?
even if it takes a life time I want to make this with you
Natsu, as an old-time like myself
I am dumbfounded
together, with you, I want to make this
together...?
even if it takes a life time I want to make this with you
uhh, yes! huh? Yumi...?
what happened? what's up with you, Yumi? on a Sunday
wait... are Sunday's off? oh, you didn't know?
Ayami-san went out shopping
Oniichan's working... but I don't think you need to take calls
aww... I guess I'll go to the Jazz cafe, then
what?
since you're here Yumi, let's spend the day together
yea? huh...?

it's clean... but let me clean up
so you guys ended up coming here?
are you disappointed? no, I'm happy. haha...
she wanted to see how you're living
I don't know what you call living, but...
all I do is acting and working part-time
wow... never thought that Yukijiro would disappoint his parents so much
don't be sayin' that you be the one disappointin' parents, Yumiko
see see see, your accent!
ahh, I suck... when I'm with these two
I forget what normal dialect is... normal dialect is...
hey, Yumi have you been calling home?
huh? I'll get to it
you said you would!! if you don't...
if you keep talking about this, I'm leaving
alright...
so Yukijirou, don't you have anyone? anyone you're going out with?
nah... don't go the luxury
no one you like in the troupe?
huh...? what? there is someone? who?
nah... you wouldn't even know I guess so...
there is someone, huh? it's just an admiration
oh, it's just Ranko-san "just"? what do you mean, "just"?
you don't REALLY like her, do you?
no way! she wouldn't take me seriously
I admire her as an actor
an actress, huh...
and Natsu, no one for you?
wha! there is someone! I didn't say anything!!
you didn't say because there is what!? who who who who who...? someone at work?
that guy when we were all dancing?
oh!! could it be, umm...
Horiuchi-san!? Ikkyu-san! Ikkyu-san!?
no way!
if this continues, I'm leaving!!
it's not that...
I'm just content being connected through drawings
Nacchan... that's no good
you need to give up on Tenyo he's someone's husband
whyyyy would you go and say something like that...
was I off? seems so... just rubbing salt in a wound
oh, sorry... it's done
so what's next?
you talking about Yumiko-chan? about today stupid
oh! let's go watch a movie!! a movie?
what else is there to do on a day off!!
the 3 of them went to go watch a movie
to reside in your eyes
I will be leaving here
I finally got my hands on one
I will live in your beautiful eyes
and enter
♬～
Yukijiro... huh?
what were you mumbling? it's creepy
practicing for voice-over dubbing reading the subtitles, lip-syncing with the actor
you're watching movies for practice
I'm hoping it'll be of some use
always working hard, huh? yep
it's a nuisance
huh? was I that loud? yes...
oh, is this Kawamura-ya?
yea. thought it'd be nice to have supper here
welcome oh! Nogami-san
this is my sister, Yumiko which one?
this one, that's Yukijiro
yes, I know older or younger sister?
oh... we're the same age we're twins
is that so you are visiting Tokyo?
I am here, eloping that's a joke!!
I cannot keep up... me neither...
Nogami-san, long time no see
surprised you had the nerve to enter those doors huh...
it's a joke. this way, please
Nacchan, welcome hey, Sachiko-san
my sister, Yumiko oh, from Hokkaido?
welcome, thank you for coming thank you
show them to their seat yes, this way, please
long time no see
how's Sai-chan? huh?
Sachiko-san, perhaps, do you still...?
Nacchan, I'm actually getting married soon
what, married!? shh...
let's sit down
oh, I already sat...
congratulations thanks
but, in the end I couldn't wait for Sai-chan
well, I'm sure my Onii-chan will be happy for you
Madam actually setup the matchmaking
he's very nice and has a stable life
I feel bad for Sai-chan… you really shouldn't
it's Sai-chan's fault always leaving me be
I think so, too
what would you like to order? oh, three butter curries
uhh... I... it's on me
three, please certainly
so crazy... she was waiting this entire time and they weren't even dating
but, I'm glad
glad about what?
Natsu, do you also think that it's best for women to receive stability through marriage?
Yumi, do you not want to get married with that person?
even without marriage shouldn't it be good to just simply be together?
by doing so there would be no over-dependence on each other
shouldn't the marriage style be different by person?
isn't it because you can't get married? what?
that guy already has someone arranged for him, right?
it's because he left that behind it makes it all that better
because it's him, trying to live from scratch
even without getting married it felt good to simply be together, with him
then, what the heck is marriage...?
welcome oh, Madam
Madam, it's been a while have you been well?
yes you better be contacting your family in Obihiro
yes, I am doing so
Madam, this is my sister, Yumiko, from Hokkaido
Oh, the one attending Hokkaido University, yes?
yes thank you for always taking care of Natsu
I heard you were even on the newspaper for getting into Hokkaido University
you are the hope for your family
Madam, I just heard about Sachiko-san getting married
yes... even your brother was so worried
Onii-chan was?
he kept telling me to make sure Sachiko finds happiness
well, even if he didn't say anything I was thinking about it, too
is that so...
Sai-chan I heard he started up a new company? yes
it's a company for voices for dubbing foreign films
he had always been pushing his limits
but Sai-chan is finally working for himself, huh?
Nacchan's pioneer spirit must have stimulated Sai-chan's heart
no, I haven't done anything...
Yumiko-san, please enjoy your stay in Tokyo
yes, depending on the situation
I may end up staying in Shinjuku
huh? what? wha... what're you saying?
I also have a pioneer spirit!
Madam, I'd actually like to ask for your advice Yumi...?
a Jazz cafe? yes
she wants to open up a Jazz cafe in Shinjuku?
then she started asking for Madam's advice I felt embarrassed
does Madam know that they're eloping?
nope Madam thinks this is after they graduate university
so she said she'll provide support if they're serious
that lady, always tells people that she'll support them
Onii-chan! saying, "that lady" it's going to get back to you for saying something like that
so she wants to support her writer boyfriend she's really into him
this person and I are comrades
if you think I'm being scammed by a guy you really don't need to worry about that
I wonder if it's ok to let her be...
hmm... that's a tough one
Nacchan, if you were just her friend
I would just say, let it be, let it be but she's family...
but Nacchan, perhaps you don't need to bear this all on your own anymore, right?
yes...
♬～
☎(ringing)
☎
hello? mom?
Natsu, at such an hour… did something happen?
yea. mom...
Yumi... Yumiko...
Yumiko...
she said if I say anything she won't come here anymore...
so even if Yumi contacts you can you act like you didn't hear this from me?
ok, no problem
thanks for letting me know, Natsu
☎what should I do, mom...?
regardless, I'm so glad you were there for her
don't worry about me just make sure you stay by her side
of course…
if there's anything I can do, I'll do it…
I'll think about what we should do
I'll contact you again no…
you shouldn't contact here I'll contact you again
ok... I count on you
talk to you again
what happened?
oh, you scared me
who was that? huh? oh... it was Natsu
what happened to Natsu? did something happen!?
no... nothing
what do you mean nothing calling here at this hour
it was nothing seems she couldn't fall asleep
you were saying you're counting on her
huh, no... I just said, I'm counting on you to go to sleep
it's disconnected already...
I know...
(phone rings once)
Natsu… its' ok
everyone is connected
the production process of Natsu and everyone's short film 'Hansel & Gretel'
was getting close to the homestretch
err...
still not satisfied...?
these birds... what do they want to do?
well of course, save Hansel & Gretel
is that all?
what else is there?
these birds the fact that the witch was always in the forest
were they not always carrying frustration toward this?
frustration? isn't that why they save Hansel & Gretel?
it's difficult to recognize this frustration
I cannot see the birds, forming as one revolting against the witch
I want this scene with the birds to seem...
like they are picketing
picketing? please re-do this as so
please
I can't handle being told these things on a whim
if this keeps going on this project will never finish!!
this is not a whim
you always make these comments after someone finishes their drawings!
well... that is when I realize something is not right...
what!? Mako-san, let's calm down...
regardless, please do this over please...

what the heck is up with that guy!? I'm so frustrated!!
if you get angry, it'll feel even more frustrating...
you end up focusing more on your frustrations...
shut up. you don't need to add on with more cryptic statements
sorry...
Ikkyu-san is so severe...
yes, I agree
his ability to pinpoint these faults
but when you calm down and think about it you actually realize that he's right...
when you keep having to have to redo things this "realization" doesn't exist anymore!
you were pretty similar back in the days don't put us together
he actually complimented my base graphics
what are you trying to say, huh? Mako-san, calmly...
Natsu, in the last scene where Hansel & Gretel are saved
she was struggling with the movement of the tree-monster
is this how trees walk? what...?
why did you feel that trees walk this way?
why...?
just a hunch... h... hunch...?
meaning you have no reasoning?
for starters... trees don't walk... how would there be reasoning?
then, how old is this tree?
the age of this tree?
how long had this tree been in this forest?
I think we need to be able to visualize this in its walk
please use that as your reasoning
even if you put it that way...
how could I know!?
just calm down if you get angry it's even more frustrating
regardless, please redo this please
it's impossible...
how is that possible...
♬～
*sigh*
Yohei-san hey, Nacchan
could you show me the forest background?
yea. look at'em all you want
is something troubling you?
that would be sugar-coating how I feel
I can't keep up with Ikkyu-san's demands
oh, this... I'm drawing up the tree-monster
he's saying that he can't visualize the trees age in how it walks
haha... seems like something he'd say
he's even nit-picky to us in the art department
just because he can't draw he doesn't understand our struggles
I don't think that's it
for how much he hounds others he, himself. is very studious
of drawings? not just drawings
oh, Ikkyu-san even knew about Tenyo's paintings
really!? yep
when it was awarded in Obihiro it was publicized in a small art magazine
it seems he saw that and he asked if we were brothers
he really appreciated that painting
reeeeally Ikkyu-san felt for Tenyo's painting...!
I don't know much about his producing abilities
but his hunger towards drawings may be even more than an artist
don't lose hope and keep at it I'll be working hard over here, too
let's make this a great project
I'll work hard
thank you for your hard work
♬～(｢moonlight serenade ｣)
Glenn Miller is so nice...
uh ohhhhhhhh... if you say such things
won't your modern jazz boyfriend get mad?
pish posh, that's fine
I have no intentions of adjusting my likes and dislikes to someone else
by the way, what does he do every day?
writing up drafts
and he's taking them to a magazine called "Swing Journal"
but it doesn't seem to be swinging his way
well... you can't expect success from the beginning
yea, that's common sense but it still seems to bring him down
we've been getting into a lot of arguments lately oh really
well, he does come from a rich and pampered lifestyle
it may take some more time to get stronger and be more independent
Yumiko-chan, you're pretty cool-headed
we got attracted to each other
if both of us don't get stronger it'd be unfair to the other person
that's why we came out to Tokyo
I see, I see
☎
oh, maybe it's a call for Saitaro-san's work?
it's ok, it's ok
this is Fuusha
☎｢this is from Hokkaido, area code 4141｣
oh… ☎｢please wait｣
oh, wrong number! sorry!!
wha...? what happened? seems like it was a wrong number
wait... we claim that from our side?
oh hello? Mom?
oh, Natsu
☎hey, Mom you called here earlier, didn't you? I did
as we thought… oh...
I wanted to properly say hello to Ayami-san
it got cut off because she was there, huh...?
hold on, I'll switch to Ayami-san
oh... really? hold on hold on, just a sec
(clearing throat)
this is Ayami
Ayami-san? Nice to meet you, this is Fujiko
ohhhh, nice to meet you
we're so grateful of you taking such great care of Yumiko
we don't know how to thank you...
it's no problem… she's helping out with the shop
already getting plenty of help
oh, and about Natsu I've been meaning to thank you
so very sorry
no, it goes both ways
I think we can go past all of the formalities, yes?
yes, I agree. excuse me for that
so... Yumiko how are things?
we are thinking of going to pick her up soon
things seem to have cooled down quite a bit
Mother, I think right now is a good chance chance?
ok, understood. will go right away
see you soon
what's up with Yumiko ah!!
so... what sort of chance is it now?
of course, for Yumiko if she'll continue to move forward or make a stop
this is a chance for Yumiko-chan, herself, to think it through
ok...
why would you keep such a secret!!
shh... you're going to wake everybody
to hide such information what's wrong with you?
I needed some time time for what?
for Yumiko's feelings to calm down…
if we went right away it would be adding fuel to the fire
knowing Yumiko's personality... well, you didn't need to keep it from me
fathers, before thinking about their daughters' feelings
they think of how to assassinate the other guy
assassinate... we're not ninjas or anything
assassinate... maybe that is the case...
that's why I kept it to myself
darnit, who the heck is this guy!?
Takayama Shoji
the eldest son of a renown department store in Sapporo
you did research? of course I researched
both of them submitted a notice of leave of absence to their university
intentions of getting married?
that, I can't research
but according to Natsu, not as of now
Ayami-san said that things have calmed down
so if we were to go, right now would be the chance
he's probably regretting it now unforgiveable, this guy!!
who knows who brought up this idea in the first place
it has to be the guy it's always the guy!!
if Yumiko heard that...
she'll say that's such a stereo type regardless, he's wrong. the guy is wrong!
ok ok
just like this, your usual reaction brings no progress
you're going?
I could go... but if one of her parents goes...
her calming heart may get triggered and set her off again...
what are you saying? no matter what Yumiko says her parents need to bring her back!
and the one who will be hurt even more is Yumiko!
as Natsu once said... the one who's not used to such situations should go...
someone not used to this...?
perhaps if Jii-chan approached this nicely
this may lead to Yumiko becoming a tad more honest with her feelings...
spoil Yumiko a bit, will you?
err... that's impossible...
and a few days later...
Yumi, what happened?
Natsu...
you told our family, didn't you?
huh...
you betrayed me!!
Natsu... what are you going to do?
Yumi...
Natsu, you told our family, didn't you?
huh...
you betrayed me!!

his family found out about us what?
our parents contacted the univserity and dormitory and asked around…
even calling his home asking if they knew where we were
I suppose that was predictable...
so we decided to leave Tokyo
where are you going? I don't know
but even when we do, I'm not telling you anymore
so I came here to get my wages up til' yesterday
oh, ok ok sounds about right...
wait, Yumi why are you running?
running? what else is it that you're doing?
if you like him so much, why are you running?
Takayama-san, if you like Yumi why are you running?
why can't you tell your parents?
instead of the arranged marriage
why can't you tell them that you want to be with Yumi?
I told you...
this is what we hate dealing with
I can't think that you would be happy running away from such things, Yumi
does an approved marriage equate to happiness?
so does that mean, happiness needs to be provided from someone else?
let's just call it quits
who cares now...
don't force it... what do you mean, 'force'?
even if you're with me... I'm not forcing anything
while you were with me nothing good came out of it, right?
what are you talking about?
the good stuff is going to start now we're going to make it good together
ok! for the time being, let's eat yea?
you haven't eaten breakfast yet, right?
I wasn't serious to begin with...
hey... you better watch what you say
if you speak on impulse you're going to regret it
it's not impulse
I never thought this eloping would ever work
oh that's what you meant what do you mean?
how could you even think it would work?
Takayama-san, don't you think it's because things didn't work out for you?
huh? Ayami-san, what do you mean?
even when you brought in drafts to the Jazz magazine it didn't work out, right?
you found out your limits and thought, it wasn't supposed to be like this
strictly speaking...
Jazz is just a hobby Sho-chan...
it's unrealistic
to not succeed the family business it's impossible
why? Yumi, you thought this way too, right?
that's why you came here with me what do you mean?
you were hoping that my parents found out, right?
what?
even you...
because I'm the successor of the Marutaka Department store that's what you were attracted to, right?
are you being serious?
♬～
you don't even like me anyways, right?
always so calculating and so condescending
I never felt your kindness towards me!!
I couldn't be nice because you would be dependent on that
then you should have depended on me more
you're lacking charm!
what do you mean, charm? ahh, you're a girl who lacks understanding
are you saying that a girl who lacks understanding simply needs to understand the guy?
that's what I'm so sick of
woah, Natsu, why are you crying?
Yumi, even from childhood she never relied on other people
because of me...
what?
when we were 9 years old I popped out of nowhere
the time when Yumi wanted to rely on her parents the most because I was there...
Yumi couldn't rely on anyone
even with that, Yumi accepted me...
that's why, when it comes to 'family' or 'marriage'
she has this dry approach
it's all my fault...
Natsu... but you know what...?
Yumi, not even once
she never lied
not to me, not to anyone she never lied
she always remained the truthful Yumi
oh how I was saved by that
for how long I've lived
I've never met anyone as honest as Yumi
I've never met someone so wonderful
To think that Yumi is calculative and condescending
you don't know Yumi at all!
I'm not giving you Yumi! never in your life time!
a marriage betwen you and Yumi I will never approve!!
Natsu, calm down...
I don't even have intetions of getting married
I don't have intentions of getting married either
You...
you're unable to become free, huh?
even if I became free and got married with a girl like you who can't even cook, what good is that!?
hey you!! just let it be!!
it's over
the discussion is over
it's you...
assissinate...
and shave that beard
thank you for your hard work
Jii-chan!
Taiju-san
nice to meet you
thank you for taking care of Yumiko
Yumiko, I'm here to pick you up
let's go home...yea?
♬～
Jii-chan, you're really going home already?
my job is done
places where there are more people than cows doesn't feel right
do you want me to show you around Sapporo, Jii-chan?
moreso, go home for everyone
if you leave your father be we don't know what he'll do
but, Jii-chan I'm surprised you came out to Tokyo
what are you talking about
it's because Mom didn't know what to do with me and told him to do so
something Mom would think up
actually, that came from Natsu...
??
uhh...
I want to try out this parfait that they have in Tokyo
parfait?? the Setsugetsu master told me about it
let's go!! let's eat parfait and go home, Jii-chan
how about you, Natsu? oh... I have work...
the 2 of you should go
Natsu huh?
take care of yourself and work hard
yea, Jii-chan you take care of yourself, too
give everyone my regards
ok
ok, Jii-chan, let's go have fun
♬～
oh...
♬～
(坂場)I see, the back view...
I never thought of the backview of the monster
it makes sense... by doing so you can visualize the history of the tree
you displayed the age of the tree through his back
wonderful! let's go with this!
yay!!
woahhh (clapping)
regardless, that took way too much time
sorry... but I have been working on other cuts, too
I took 3 whole days on the revolt demo-ing birds, too...
Ikkyu-san isn't just a condescending person, huh?
I've never thought him as condescending huh?
is that what you were thinking?
of course not!
no... I've never thought that way
in a nut shell, he just really loves comic movies...
yes. that's exactly so.
and he's looking at the possibilities
so wonderful the facial expressions are good, but...
the movement of the body... those two...
kind of frightening...
yes...
let's work as hard as them
let's get to work
yes yes
Natsu, move forward, further and further forward
and...
♬｢Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime｣

you think I'm going to eat you guys?
I wouldn't do such a thing, Gretel
I'm going to take you guys to the castle in the forest
to the castle? yes, and the king of the forest is in this castle
the forest is peaceful because the king is there for us
so wonderful that Hansel will be able to work for the king
isn't that wonderful?
no! I'm not going to let you do that!
it's ok, hurry up and bring Hansel here
ahh!! what are you doing!?
stop it. stop it!!
over here! ok!!
now! Gretel, let's run!
♬～
I'm not going to let you do that

Gretel!!
(growling)
hahaha, eat!!
fill up your stomachs wolves of the darkness!!
err... err....
oh? ... ahh!!!
ah… ah…｣｡

this child has no means of giving up no matter what
Hansel!!
Gretel!!
hiyah!!
go!
witch! you betray me!!
(breathing deeply)
(barking)
oh!! are you ok!?
yes let's go!!
ok!!
(breathing deeply)
(barking)
♬～
(panting)
thank you!
♬～
seems good
that's a wrap!! thank you for your hard work!
thank you for your hard work thank you. how was it?
seemed like you were possessed by a witch
the witch that I played was such a great character
it felt so natural
the picture was charming and I really liked it all yes
thank you very much
oh oh sorry
Mako-san did most of the work for the witch
my real name is Asako Osawa Asako
the witch had Asako-san's soul put into it, huh?
yes...
Ikkyu-san
did Naka-san say anything?
not really...
should have been ok, right?
are you ok?
what?
were you satisfied with just this?
not yet
I want to make more with you, Ikkyu-san
then, we are on the same page
♬～
the short film was completed so Natsu and the team took a short break
go go go, Ikkyu-san!! Ahhh～～
well, uhhh... it's ok, it's ok
it's ok!!
I should back out it's ok～～
no! you need to do it until you can!!
that's impossible hey you...
you made all of us redo drawings over and over and you give up, just like that?
you don't need to be so serious...
with anything, unless you take it seriously nothing will stick
regardless, let's do this!!
hai!! Mako-chan!!
hai!! ahhh～～!!
Ikkyu-san!! hai!!
nice!!
Ikkyu-san, would you like an onigiri (rice ball)?
thank you very much
then shall I give you my bread?
thank you very much
oh... please don't drop the onigiri
Momocchi!! it's just a joke
does he look like he has a sense of humor? oh yea
I do have a sense of humor. I love jokes oh is that so?
even Nacchan your humor & serious border is unclear, too
Mako-san! what, you have a problem?
did you just call me Nacchan? huh?
Mako-san, this is the first time that you called me Nacchan!!
first time? are you sure?
I'm so happy
you don't need to cry about it
that's great this means that through this short film
we were able to bond and build a stronger relationship
oh... Akane-chan, can I take one? woah... hey!
you were too friendly from the beginning you are so insolent
ok then...
but I didn't say I won't give you any
what? here
thank you!!
would've been nice if we came here before we started the project
yea, if we had the extra time
next time we have a project let's make sure to do something like this
yes
♬～
Mako-san, what's wrong? did you find something?
I found something oh... what did you find?
I'm... I'm getting married
finally... I found prince charming
Mako-san... I'm not sure I understand…
we were dating when we were students
he was striving to become a skillful architect
and he's planning to move to Italy soon...
then he proposed to me...
and I was contemplating on breaking up or not
and with this project I was finally able to make a decision
does that mean...
you're going to quit being an animator?
that's right
how could you, Mako-san!
that's why I wanted to make sure that this project succeeds
make it succeed and be able to tell myself this is all I have
then maybe, I would be able to make up my mind and break up
but, it ended up being the opposite
because I was satisfied with my work I thought that I could get married
Mako-san...
if I were to create something, going forward
I saw the importance of right now being a breaking point and take a pause
comparing myself to Nacchan and Ikkyu-san I felt that I was missing something
I was so disappointed in myself
that's not true!
I cannot draw like you, Mako-san
I cannot enjoy it all as much as you, yet
I think about what it is
is it talent? is it just that I'm wavering?
I wanted to stop for a moment and think about it
you are a great animator
at least, in Japan
there are not many animators at your level
thank you...
when you say it so cool-headed it makes me even happier
Mako-san
please come back again!!
make me want to come back make me jealous
going forward, make even a better comic movie, Nacchan
I will
I'll work hard, too!
you don't need to why?
when you say it it sounds sarcastic
sarcastic...?
but everyone, don't misunderstand me
I'm going to be even happier
I can say goodbye to this low-paying animator lifestyle
so jealous!!
Momocchi... right?
yes...
Shimoyama-san? what are you drawing?
this happy moment with Mako-chan and everyone
so we don't forget
then we should all gather together and have him draw that
in this peaceful forest with the sunlight beaming through the trees
Natsu made a new vow
to be an animator for life
smile everyone smile
♬～
Natsu...
continue to live life as you want with your mates that you love
hey! you can't let it end yet
will continue, next week
Ikkyu-san, great job!
I wish I could go, too
I wanted to make at least one long comic movie with you
I want you to live on behalf of him through your acting
my feelings...
Next week Natsu, it's the beginning of comic television
welcome home
give me your best shot!!
