Autumn, 2017
The Japanese government has passed the Second Consolatory Education Bill.
Men and women over 30 who have never had sex,
have started the top secret education
at Adult High School.
People live with secrets.
You were chosen to be the first student for Adult High School.
They are hiding the truth in the heart, [Arakawa Eito / Cherrito]
which they don't want to share with anyone.
However, there is no concept of privacy in this classroom.
This is the third week since the Adult High School has started.
Only three have fulfilled their first experience and graduated.
You are still virgins.
Don't say it straight.
Grown people over 30
have not become a real adult yet.
For sure, he appears similar.
Not only that, somebody reported a lie on the first sex
and intended to graduate.
Please stand up.
- I need you two to kiss right now. - Kiss?
You should be able to do it, if you've fulfilled the condition to graduate.
Please prove it to me.
As a citizen, it's despicable to deceive
the National Educational Institute.
Cherrito-kun and Scare-san, as a punishment, Yamada Pegasus / Homerroom Teacher]
you are going to be the class president
and take care of general affairs in school.
It's because you were a coward.
It's because you made a stupid suggestion.
You two, please have a seat.
If you don't have sex, your graduation day won't come.
With that said, I've prepared another hands-on training.
[Substitute Lover Service]
Substitute lover service?
What is that?
Is that a sort of prostitution?
Am I giving money to a strange man to have sex? [Sonobe Maki - Scare]
Scare-san, you don't know much, do you?
The substitute lover service is
to enjoy a date with a man/woman who you pick online by looking at their pictures.
However, sexual activity is prohibited.
But you should know that the photos have been retouched, [Madara Masumi / Himiko]
so you will be so disappointed when you meet.
You know all about it, Himiko-san.
How many times did you use the service?
It is the knowledge acquired by a romance manga.
Those are the basic concepts for the service.
You're not receiving the service,
but providing it.
Providing the service?
A client is choosing us?
That's not a good idea.
An elite banker like me,
why in the world do I have to do that?
I've already sent your photos to the agency.
Photo... you mean the picture of my face?
If someone finds out, I can't go to work.
Don't worry. Your photo has been retouched.
I registered you in your nickname.
Take a look.
[Cherrito / Age 30 / Tokyo]
I don't dress up like a man who has low IQ.
[Sasho / Age 55 / Tokyo]
Wow, I have a lot of hair.
[Spare / Age 32 / Tokyo]
That's horrible taste in clothes.
[Himiko / Age 35 / Tokyo]
Wow, she looks cute.
[Yaru-Dente / Age 33 / Tokyo]
I look like a criminal.
Even without eyes, he looks similar.
The precaution for the hands-on training is
intimacy with your client is prohibited.
Is it prohibited to hold hands?
That's fine.
The selling point of the service is to hold hands.
Please hold hands as much as you can for an hour during the date.
[Hold hands-Yes / Link arms-Yes]
If a client asks for a kiss?
That's a no. [Kiss-No]
[Ear cleaning-No / Sex-No]
The things that you can't do during the training,
but you CAN outside the training.
What do you mean outside?
That means you can exchange phone numbers.
You're free to meet your client as a mere man and woman later on.
If both parties agree, it's okay to have an intimate relationship.
Please cherish every encounter and climb up the stairs to adulthood.
Even if you say we can have an intimate relationship, but...
Are you telling us to seduce a client to have sex?
Don't we have the right choose, too?
Sasho-san,
you should stop that now.
Eh? I didn't say anything, did I?
Although you're inexperienced, but pretending to be confident,
or pretending to be a player.
But women can see through your lie.
On the contrary, inexperience could be your weapon.
Just be yourself.
But you retouched our photos,
how could I be myself?
It's today's curriculum.
Did he ignore me just now?
We have a specialized class of dating.
This is not going to be easy.

Adult High School Episode 3
By the way, these are horrible introductions.
My strong point is intelligence. I can provide a perfect date plan for you.
Oh, Yaru-Dente has many requests. [Mochida Mamoru / Assistant Teacher]
I wonder why he is still a virgin.
His dream was to become a professional baseball player,
but he gave it up after the shoulder injury.
He entrusts the dream on his child
and he's looking for a woman with excessive athletic ability.
That's his problem.
What he's asking in a woman is unreasonable.
Need a home visit.
Home visit?
Teacher Sakura, would you do it?
Me again? [Himetani Sakura / Assistant Teacher]
It's fine. The class presidents are coming with you.
What?
Here are the two al-dente pasta with mushroom and salmon. Thank you for waiting.
Thank you.
Shop Manager, I finally got to meet you.
Why aren't you working at lunch time from Monday to Wednesday?
Shop Manager is participating in a secret national project.
- You're wonderful inside and out. - He's so cool.
Why is he so popular?
Except his smile and his athletic ability,
I'm much higher than him in a deviation value as a person.
Let's go to karaoke this weekend.
Thank you! Thank you!
Nagisa-san, thank you for waiting.
Shop Manager, it's a great business as usual.
Yeah, thanks to you.
You should come to Sunday's game.
I'll consider that positively.
Oh? The cute lady is Katamura Nagisa.
What? A player for the national softball team?
[Katamura Nagisa / The Natinal Softball Team]
Right.
Why is Himiko here?
What is your relationship to Manager Kawamoto?
What do you mean?
His nickname is Yaru-Dente who slept with 1,000 women.
You'll get burned if you get too close.
She is clearly interfering with him.
This is something an unattractive woman would do.
Don't worry about her.
She is a little weird.
This may sound strange since we've never met before,
but I think you're the ideal woman for the shop manager.
Good luck.
I don't think so.
I have invited him to join our sandlot baseball team many times, but he just laughs it off.
Just like earlier.
I think he turned me down a long time ago.
Himiko-san, you shouldn't disturb your classmate from graduating.
You, too, shouldn't disturb me.
What's this?
The result of the physical ability test last week.
I have all A's.
I, who am outstanding in physical ability, am a suitable partner for him.
But beauty is a world-class athlete.
What?
I think he doesn't really care about athletic ability.
It could be his excuse not to hurt a woman.
How scary.
I should stay away from a woman like that.
Do you really like him?
What type of woman is he attracted to...
Why is he still a virgin? Why don't we find out together?
Are you helping me?
I'm your teacher.
I bet the class president will help you, too.
Why should I help Himiko?
Thank you so much. See you.
I have great news for you.
All of you are requested to to go on a date for the substitute lover service.
Seriously?
What?
The more I look, the more he looks similar.
She is staring at him too much.
Considering your ability,
you're going on a group date.
Yaru-Dente, it's reassuring that you're with us.
Let's work together.
It's like your smile is saying, "Leave the women to me."
Although you're only good for your face and exercising.
Oh? They must be the three ladies.
Women who request the substitute lovers.
They must be boring women
who I would be embarrassed to walk with. What?
What? All three women are pretty and cheerful.
Wait. I shouldn't let my guard down.
They're just hungry female pigs.
You must be Yaru-Dente-san.
You're handsome as I thought.
Hello!
Sasho-san?
You look different from the photo.
Ah, yes. Well...
My hair stylist cut too much of my hair.
Cherrito-san, you are different, too.
Not again. I'm sure she's going to annoy me by saying I'm not wild enough.
You look honest. I like you better than the photo.
What? Ah... thanks.
Why don't we hold hands.
Oh, okay.
I should to hold hands with Sasho-san.
I feel nervous because this is my first time.
Well... this is our first time, too.
You all look pretty, but why did you use the substitute lover service?
I'm turning 30 this year, but I don't have a boyfriend and I was bored.
- Right? - That's right.
Can I ask you a question?
Why do you call youself "Cherrito?"
Well, that's because...
I know. It's because he likes cherries.
Oh, that's right. I like the fruit cherries.
If I'm not mistaken, you are from Yamagata, aren't you?
Yes. Right. From Yamagata. I can show you my family registration.
He loves his hometown.
Yaru-Dente...
You're popular and a nice guy.
Really? I'm from Yamagata, too. Which city are you from?
Well, I'm from the countryside.
Kamiyama Onsen Village.
No way. Did you go to Kamiyama Onsen Elementary School?
What? You, too? Who was your homeroom teacher in 6th grade?
Barcode Samejima.
No way!
Are you serious?
You two were classmates, Haruka?
Haruka? Are you the Nakayama Haruka who stabbed my back with compasses?
What? Is it possible that you're the Dosukoi-kun?
Dosukoi-kun? (Dosukoi: sumo chant)
I had too much calorie intake back then.
He was fat to the point his clothes were about to rip.
That's a forbidden topic.
You've lost a lot of weight. I'm so stunned.
[Adult High School]
You two are quiet.
What is that you're looking at?
It's Shamoji Shimojima of Sarahashi Labyrinth.
Kitchen utensils possess the handsome man and fight a battle. It's a very popular character.
Don't tell me you don't know.
I don't know.
There is a guy who looks like Shamoji and is very popular.
But he doesn't have any experience with a woman.
Do you know why?
Well, he could be introverted or his standard in women is high.
Or it could be a physical disability such as ED.
ED
ED (Erectile Dysfunction)
I got an email from Section Chief.
Nice timing. He just read my mind.
It's Shiratori. You're not answering my call. Are you still mad about the other day? If so, please give me a chance to apologize to you.
He is trying to open my closed heart.
A man of an excellent caliber is good with words.
Section Chief, do I get a reward?
Why are you peeking?
Section Chief, do I get a reward?
- Do I get a reward? - What are you doing?
Since we don't have anything to talk about,
it's a little early but we're leaving.
What?
Why do I feel like I was rejected by the mediocre?
It's because a spare woman is texting her boss.
You've been thinking about Yaru-Dente.
The woman whom I can't understand.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Oldies but Goodies Team @ Viki
This is awkward. I can't find a topic to talk.
An elite like me, what is there to worry about?
If the mass produced candies are the low-class people,
the hand-made candy is me.
I have nothing to be afraid of.
Hey, Haruka.
What kind of boy was he, when he was fat?
He did nothing but study. And you didn't have a friend.
Well, I kept my distance from classmates.
They couldn't keep up with my advanced topics.
You were bullied. You were also stripped naked.
It was horrible.
What?
Why are you telling them everything?
You've been through a lot, Eito.
But you've thinned down now. You must be popular.
Of course, women are not leaving him alone.
Right. I hear he is quite an elite.
Yaru-Dente!
You said exactly what I wanted to hear.
Good for you. Your hard work in study paid off.
Well, I suppose.
It's a disadvantage. Since she knows my past,
it's no use for me to appear intelligent.
I want to go home.
Sorry.
It's time to say good-bye.
One hour is already over?
I wanted to talk to you more, Cherrito-kun.
What?
Since you enrolled in a high-level middle school.
Come to think of it, we reunited after 18 years.
Why don't we exchange phone numbers, so we can meet again.
Agreed!
Yes. Good idea.
Good work today!
We've completed our task somehow.
All thanks to you, Cherrito-kun.
We were lucky to meet your childhood friend.
It was rather terrible for me,
looking back at my dark history.
Yaru-Dente, you know how to treat ladies.
I have five older sisters. I was raised in a family with women.
I had many girls came on to me since young.
Then, why are you still a virgin?
I don't know why.
I feel comfortable and have fun with men.
I played baseball all the way to high school, so I hung out with men.
I'm having a lot more fun now than the date earlier.
Cherrito-kun, what did you think of your former classmate?
She is not interested in me, because she knows my dark past.
She is definitely interested in you.
She doesn't have a boyfriend, so this could be your fate.
You should go for it, Eito.
I'll help you.
I like that.
I'm touched by friendship between men.
Because we met through the substitute lover service, I don't think the relationship would last.
The encounter seems so impure.
Then you should do this.
What... ?
Close your eyes. Just close them.
Count yours and her age.
"The moment you open your eyes,
it's our true encounter."
You're going to whisper to her that phrase. Nice, isn't it?
There is no way I could do that.
That's too embarrassing.
You know, Haruka-chan was popular. But I...
I think you should be honest.
What?
This is so-called Operation Honesty.
My oldest sister told me,
if a partner is a virgin, it turns her on more.
I don't know about that.
I find you cute and charming
when you're feeling uneasy rather than you being perfect.
I bet it arouses her maternal instinct.
You should be open about your weakness.
Seriously? Is that going to work?
I mean, do I even have the guts to do so?
I'm sorry to call you out suddenly.
Marufuji Juko and Grit Energy...
The two top companies in Japan and and U.S.
showed positive interest in the NY project.
Senior Director Nikaido, that's a good sign of our success.
Did you make the necessary arrangement with the secret national project?
Well... that's...
Of course.
We can't let the project fail because of the government.
I feel at ease to hear that.
Sorry to bother you.
Please pass these out.
We brought the information about Grid Energy.
Thanks.
What a great room.
So you remembered...
that I told you I want to stay at this hotel.
- Enjoy your stay. - What?
- Director? - I have an urgent matter to handle.
So... you can call
room service and order whatever you want.
See you next time.
Please excuse me.
You went to a hotel with her but left alone?
Koharu-san has the right to be mad.
I had too much to drink that night.
Suddenly... nausea, stomachache,
dizziness and headache, all came to me at once.
Why don't you ask her out since she's free on Sunday?
But she seemed mad at me.
That's because she likes you.
I think Operation Honesty would work.
I'm over fifty years old. I don't think she would fall for me.
Koharu-san thinks you're cute.
Cute?
A perfect man is boring to be around.
A woman is always trying to find a weakness in a man.
Is that true?
A popular man
show his weakness purposely and catches a woman's heart.
That's the technique.
It's Haruka! It was really an exciting reunion.
You were flustered when I talked about your past.
You were cute and I really enjoyed that.
Next time, I want to meet you just the two of us.
You seem happy.
Well, I think what you said is right.
Are you sure about her?
She uses the service. She could be a loose woman.
What are you saying?
As a teacher, you should encourage me to graduate.
But if you graduate,
what fun do I have left in the school?
What is that defenseless look?
Are you seducing me?
Wait. Stay down.
Sakura-chan is a dangerous woman who has many experiences.
Director, I'll talk to Koharu-san for you.
Tell her what?
Your. True. Self.
She's joking, right?
Not surprising if she really talks to her.
The Cabinet Office sent everyone a gift.
Two tickets to the zoo.
Applause!
Two tickets means are you telling us go on a date?
Exactly.
Even the panda in Ueno Zoo had a baby.
But what are you doing?
The government is highly disappointed in you.
What a nosy government.
Use the tickets,
and you have to ask someone to go on a date with you.
Your homework is to submit your date report by Monday.
Take advantage of your training to graduate.
Hey... should we go to a batting cage?
Then go to a public bath.
We can't. We must revise the project proposal ASAP.
Sorry. We should go next time.
Yaru-Dente.
Himiko-san, do you need something?
A batting cage...
let me accompany you.
Go!
You have a nice swing. You got me worked up.
Thank you.
I'm the one who should be thanking you.
If you don't mind, I'd like to do the homework with you.
Eh?
Well... only if you don't have anybody to go with.
That's really helpful.
With you, I don't need to feel constraint.
Is something wrong?
Please accept this without saying anything.
For me?
Wait. What is this?
Zoo? I'd love to go with you.
But I thought you were mad at me.
After hearing about you from Sakura,
I got over it.
What did she tell you?
Everything about you true self.
She didn't, did she?
I was happy that you didn't sleep with me
because you treasure me.
I love the idea of taking it slow.
Thanks. I'll be waiting for you.
You were able to patch things up with her.
Okay. Me, too.
Eito?
Adult High School
[Sunday]
She's late. Six minutes has passed from the promised time.
Does she think I'm a worthless man who deserves to wait?
Cherrito-kun!
Haruka-chan.
Sorry for being late. I didn't know what to wear.
Did you wait long?
She takes me for an idiot.
Do you think I would believe such an excuse?
Should we hold hands?
Oh, okay.
Not like that.
Like this.
Is this how lovers hold hands?
- Shall we go? - Sure.
It's your first time to prioritize me over your family.
I can have a different family, but
you're irreplaceable.
Did you talk to your wife
about a divorce?
If I didn't have any kids, my marriage would have been over a long ago.
If I don't end my marriage cleanly,
I can't proceed with a further relationship with you.
Happy to hear that.
When are you submitting your divorce papers?
We should look for a place to live.
What else...?
Section Chief?
When I told my friend in our hometown about you,
she was really shocked.
You must be mocking me.
To tell you the truth, you're a hero from Kamiyama Onsen Village.
Thanks.
What?
We meet again, Cherry Boy.
What are you doing here?
Machi-san, can I talk to you for a minute?
What is it?
Why are you still hanging out with that petty boss?
So what? Why does it bother you?
I warned you last time, didn't I?
Don't be a convenient woman.
I went through troubles to save you from him.
Is that what you wanted to talk about? Give me a break.
Hey, are you done talking?
Your girlfriend looks lonely.
Don't bother him. He's just jealous of you.
That's not what I said.
Just jealous of a petty man. Let's go.
Ugh, they are rushing me to speed up the job.
I'll go confirm the document in my car,
can you wait here?
Finally the project is starting to move.
What kind of acquaintance is she?
She is my former classmate,
but she is seeing a married man with a kid.
So you're concerned for her.
You're still kind as before.
What? Was I kind before?
You showed me your answers for the test.
I had no choice, because you stabbed me with compasses.
I was really grateful.
You remember such a trivial matter?
Wait. Cherrito-kun! Haruka-chan!
- You're here! - Yay!
Yay! Wow, I'm so happy to see you here.
Why don't we have some beers?
- Good idea. - Let's go then.
Great! It's that way.
He's making you wait a long time.
What is it? Are you monitoring us for the homework?
Till when will you let the adulterous boss abuse you?
Adulterous?
As for me,
the person I fell in love with just happened to be a married man.
Chief Shiratori married the wrong woman
before he met his soulmate.
He will never fulfill your wish.
Huh?
Wave your hand. Good job. Turn the wheel.
Go to the left.
It's unacceptable to go on a date with a lover and his family at the same time.
Getting caught by me
is within his calculated plan.
It's a ritual to facilitate his divorce.
He doesn't care if he gets caught.
Moreover, he is showing off.
I wonder if anybody agrees with your opinion
in this world right now.
An inferior like you wouldn't understand.
His ambition is first-rate. He can even move the world.
Not only that, he graduated from the prestigious Tokyo University.
The Eito-san who you're looking down on,
he also graduated from Tokyo University.
What?
So you were reliable, Cherrito-kun.
When I forgot my homework, he did it for me.
Haruka-chan was an admiration for everyone.
It's from Director.
Leaving the zoo and off to my place to drink.
Good luck, Eito!
Nice going, Director.
I have to do the same.
Are you okay?
Don't worry about me if you have to go to work.
Thanks, but it's fine.
You two are doing well together.
Look like lovers already.
Stop it.
You two are fated to meet again.
- I don't think so. - What?
What is it this time?
You two didn't miss each other for 18 years.
You didn't even think of each other.
Don't try to estrange those two.
To be honest, I think she's just desperate.
She's over 30, so she just want to marry an elite quickly.
That's enough. Haruka-chan isn't that kind of woman.
Then, can you marry him even if he is severely ill?
But, I haven't thought about marrying him yet.
You see? She is a fake.
If you love him, you can accept anything.
We're not interested in your love philosophy now.
Himiko-san has my vote.
Would you stop? Did you come to hinder us, too?
Don't worry about what she said.
You're cruel.
You were wooing me once before.
Wooing?
Stop saying things to mislead her.
Did I mislead?
What are you doing?
Aren't you here to support our homework?
If you graduate, I will feel lonely.
This woman is a devil.
Haruka-chan, let's leave.
- Let's just go. - Okay.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Oldies but Goodies Team @ Viki
Yes, Section Chief. Did you finish?
What?
Sudden business trip?
Sure, okay.
Hey, Spare-san.
Look.
What are we going to eat?
How do you explain the situation?
The top-class man is surely bold.
A woman
must have a capacity to forgive a little affair.
Affair? But she is his wife.
She is confused and delusional in the current situation.
Then why don't we solve Yaru-Dente's mystery.
My mystery?
Why are you still a virgin?
I don't know why.
I can't get drunk from beers.
Let's drink at the place that serves wine.
I think she was right.
I must've been desperate.
Eh?
I approached you because you're good looking and an elite.
I feel embarrassed.
Don't say that.
I was happy to see you again.
You can forget the past of our childhood.
We can pretend that we met on that day for the first time.
But we met through the substitute lover service.
The relationship would be influenced
because our encounter was impure (and wasn't a coincidence).
I knew this was going to happen.
What should I do? Do I stumble here again?
No!
Why don't you try this.
Is this where I should use the trick?
Is it?
You see? You don't have anything to say.
Why don't we do this.
We just met right here right now.
Close your eyes and count your age in your mind.
After opening our eyes, our encounter starts from then.
Eito-kun, you looked cool just now.
I did it.
Excuse me, can I have one more bottle?
All I can say is, I didn't get it.
You're lying.
What?
You don't have to hide. I'll cure your illness.
Ah!
What?
[ Erectile Dysfunction Medications]
That's why you gave the ED medications.
Yaru-Dente, I don't mind your illness,
your secret or weakness that you can't share with others.
I'll accept you the way you are.
I don't know where you heard that, but...
you have the wrong idea.
I had a physical exam before the admission.
What?
Hey, tell me...
what's wrong with me?
We're not talking about your stupid problem.
Stupid?
- What do you mean by stupid? - Hold on.
By the way, where is Teacher Sakura?
W-Wait a sec.
I need to ask you something.
What is it?
Why did we see so many of your friends today?
It's strange, isn't it?
What is your relationship with those women?
They're no one.
Eito-kun, you're hiding something, aren't you?
What did you mean by homework and graduation?
Am I being involved in some kind of game?
All of you are trying to trick me and making fun of me?
No, I'm not.
I'm not like that at all.
Then, you owe me an explanation.
Do I have to?
If you don't want to say, then forget it.
Oh no. This is bad.
I can't let her leave like this.
I have something to tell you!
I am...
Be honest.
Well... I am...
I am a virgin... a virgin.
I am a virgin!
What?
My nickname didn't come from the fruit cherry.
It's because I'm a cherry boy.
I went to an all-boy's middle and high school, so I didn't interact with women.
After being admitted to Tokyo University, I wasn't familiar with Tokyo.
So all I did was studying.
Those people in the substitute lover service are the same.
Oops, is she grossed out?
She didn't accept me although I told her the truth?
Oh, sorry.
To be honest, it's such a turn-off.
Was I wrong?
It was wrong to be honest with her.
As a grown man, I feel embarrassed.
I know you're embarrassed, but you told me the truth.
So thank you.
I don't mind. I can teach you.
I guess a relationship could start under a strange circumstance.
We can figure it out together.
I'll do my best.
Let's do this together.
I think it's my friend from hometown.
She begged me to report today's outcome.
What's wrong, Haruka-chan?
Cherrito-kun is a player who slept with 1,000 women. Don't be fooled by the wolf that is pretending to be innocent.
What is that?
Is this true?
No.
Someone is harassing me.
- Who and for what purpose? - I don't know, either.
I guess I was blind.
I trusted you too easily.
I guess Tokyo changes people.
W-Wait...
Wait a second.
What's wrong?
Did she dump you, by chance?
Did you do this?
What are you talking about?
Don't act innocent. You sent her that crazy text, didn't you?
Why would I do that?
You're insidious!
If you want me, just come right at me.
Who do you think you are?
I don't know her email address, just so you know.
Then who...?
Spare-san, you had too much to drink.
- Here, cheers. - Cheers.
