A bit

A bit. Sure

I have a question

What's her name?

You don't remember



I do

You do? What is it?

You don't?

No

You picked her up?

Yeah

And laid her?

Don't you think it's inhuman?

Well, that can happen sometimes

No

Can you say the names of all the guys
you slept With?

Yes. All the girls and boys

All of them?

From Hisako, Who Was my first girl
to Yuichiro, Who's my last boy



How come?

I only make love

Hi, Haruko!

What'll you do With her?

Haruko, let's go

Let her go home, please

'Morning

Hi, Satomi

Where is Shinnosuke?

If you like him, take care of him

When he has something delicate to say

he tilts his head slightly
to the right

"Haruko, I don't understand
What's on your mind"

"I'm tired"

He said...

Whenever I Was depressed

he gave me a hug and
I liked it so much

What's that?

Like this...

I see... a hug

Hey!

Come on!

What?

Let me give you one

No thanks

Care for a bite?
Aren't you hungry?

I don't Want to eat

How about some Chinese noodles?
I know a good place

Here you are

I Went home the other day

I dropped in the Midoriya

I missed their noodles

Was the cook as bald as ever?

No, he had bushy hair!

Obviously a Wig though

Wow! Bushy?

Can't imagine

We Went there often, the Midoriya

Nowhere else to go

And you guys always tried

to pick up girls Without success

Really? Yeah...

You had a girl in your room, eh?
What's she like?

Well...

Yes!

Her name is Satomi!

I remember!

You never learn to choose

Here's a blanket for you

I can't sleep

Sleeping pills. Two at a time

Good Night

Be careful not to oversleep

Miki's angry

I'm sorry

You're late!

How can an apprentice be late?

Clean up the towels

Satomi calls me sometimes

Good friends?

I don't think so. I usually
ignore her calls

She came yesterday and Waited for you

Don't you go out With her?

I'm afraid not

Why not? She's cute

Does it bother you?

Why do you pick up girls?

You tell me

Excuse me

This one and this one.
Which has a healing effect?

Yes, yes

This and this, Which is better?

Got a broken heart?

I'm tired

Tired of What? What sort of thing?

Of your life?

Hi!

What now?

You left this

You came just for that?
You can throw it away

Well, this is yours

I don't need it

But it's yours

It's the last stuff
you've left at my place

Then, good luck

For What?

Anything

Like What?

Stop it. It's not the point

I know that

Well, then...

Bye

Bang!

Excuse me

I Want a haircut

We have closed for today

Closed?

Yes

I Wanted to have my hair cut
to refresh myself

I'm sorry

Take this instead

Hi

I'm home

Where's the boss?

The boss?

He's got a date With a boy

Or a girl today?

Anyway, he's enjoying himself

How about you?

Me? Not really

A little short, but okay

Want to dye your hair for free?

No thanks

Why not?

I just don't

Come on. I Want to change the mood

Then, do yours

I never dye mine

Me either

Forget it. Let's do it

No!

Why not?

Why should I?

What color?

No!

Let's do it! Shinnosuke!

You look pretty cool!

No problem. You look fine

Changed the mood?

Yeah, I think so

Okay, then

Thank you

I'm glad you are here With me

I'm home!

Hi

It's fine. It's not so bad

It's alright

You've had long hair.
Why don't you try short one?

Uh-huh

It'll become you

Just trim the damaged parts

Then have bangs...

Yes

Short fringe...

Not too tight?

No

The seat goes flat...

Thanks for the other day

Excuse me

I don't like this

Somehow a fluffy stuff on my face
scares me

I see...

Weird?

No, that's alright

Good

I'll do the rinsing

You gave me a teapot

Oh, that

It's a shocking experience

It came so suddenly

It Was something I'd never imagined

That's the teapot

I've been thinking ever since...
Why Was it a teapot?

It had no meaning

No meaning?

Alright, no meaning

I had a cup of tea With it

Did you use it?

Because...

Shampoo...

Shampoo, here

All right?

No, hot Water...

Yes, Wait a second

We're very sorry, sir

But he Wasn't angry

Even children close their eyes

No excuses!

I don't make any

You do!

If you Were tense, you Wouldn't laugh

But there are some funny people

Manager!

Sorry...

Have more tension in your Work.
Understand?

She can't be serious because
you spoil her

I am serious

No. Not even today

You didn't refill hair conditioner.
We ran out of towels

That Was all right. I think
I did What I had to do

Yeah... It Was a busy day, huh?

You think? That's not enough.
Do it perfectly

Don't you Want to be a pro?

I do

I'm giving you instructions.
Why the look?

You disgust me

Miki, that's too much

Change that face!

I Was born With this face

Then you should change it!

Change your attitude first

I don't Want to change

You suck!

I don't think so

You do

I don't

You do!

I don't!

I quit!

Thank you

Hey, Haruko!

Take it easy! Haruko?

I'm sorry

She didn't mean it

Hey, Haruko!

Come back!

Not again...

Hey

Give me a job

I'm sorry. We're not so busy

Say "sorry" and get the job back

I'll never apologize to that jerk

You've got to be patient
until you become a pro

Become a pro? The human race Will
annihilate itself by then

So, you give up?

I Wasn't born to be a shampoo girl

Everyday, all day long, shampoo,
rinse, shampoo, rinse...

I'm fed up With it

I Want to get a Worthwhile job

What is it then?

I'm lost because I don't find out

Something reminds me
When I Was little

I used to imagine things
before I Went to sleep

The World has been Washed away
in floods

But my bed becomes a small boat
and I'm drifting on it

So, this is a boat...

This?

It's scary, huh?

Not exactly

Because I meet someone Whom
I fall in love With

There's no one else around
and We're all alone

I feel so good...
I used to imagine that

My cigarette...

Why don't you pick it up?

It's the sea! Will you pick it up
for me?

Alright. If you ask...

Wait

Watch the cigarette

Wow, What's this?

I feel so good!

Come here!

No Way, the sea is contaminated
With radiation

Never heard of

You'll die in ten seconds

Hey, I'll be dead?

10, 9, 8, 7...

Oh, I'm dying...

Oh no, my body is being
poisoned With radiation...

I'm dead!

Idiot!

I don't Want to die
being called an idiot.. eh?

My god...

"Enjoy Karaoke!"

Care for snacks?

No. I'm not hungry

Some candy?

Thank you

You too? You Want to be a singer
or an actress?

Not for me

Then What?

I don't know

Too far or too close is no good.
Fix the point to look at

The crowd makes your eyes tired, huh?

Yeah, and I get a headache

Hey, you should have a point
to look at

About three meters away

From here... that vending machine

It's easier to look at it

How to stand Without getting tired

Come on

Like this...
your hand is here and foot...

After one hour, switch the position

Let's do it together. Here We go!

Right... Good move!

That's all for today

How Was your date on the other day?

It Wasn't really a date

Won't you go out With that guy?

No

I can enjoy being a single now

I see

Hey, don't you get lonely?

I doubt it

He likes bonsai, dwarfed trees.
He's unhealthy

I don't Want you to say that

Unhealthy

I'll go to the john

Bad timing

How long have you lived
With that sucker?

About two years

It's love, huh?

What?

Because you're so nice to that sucker

You fancy him, don't you?

Don't talk rubbish

Sorry. I Was Wrong

No

You are sharp

But it's an old story

I know I'm not his type

I gave up on him

I Wish he'd get a girlfriend
and settle down

It's love after all!

Sleep Well?

Yes, thank you

Maybe he's having a dream of bonsai

I envy him. He can be happy
With bonsai

You're blunt. You don't understand

About What?

You should be crazy for bonsai, too.
Or get a girlfriend

Stop hunting girls for fun

I mean... can I get a girlfriend?

I keep telling you so

Haruko?

How can you fall asleep so fast?

Haruko!

I'll play With your boobs

Haruko!

You're impossible. I'll Wake you up

I had a dream of a massive flood

Water came up
to the ceiling of this room

I thought I'd be drowned. Then I
found myself in a big fish tank

I Was a tropical fish in the tank

And another me Was feeding the fish,
that Was myself, from outside the tank

And I Was eating the bait

What does it mean?

Who knows?

What's Wrong?

You laughed?

No

You did

"Asshole"

Here's a bunny!

What?

Weird bunny

Ouch

Run!

Thank you

You're a fool!

You're a fool

Why?

You should go all the Way
once you started

Weren't you asleep?

You Were in the mood.
So I pretended I Was asleep

Forget it, fool

Being a fool is nice

Shut up, fool

Go to hell, fool

You do, fool!

Fool! Drop dead!

Hey, stop it!

You Weren't born to be a shampoo girl

Not to be a bunny girl either

How do you feel in this outfit?

It's hot, stinks and choking

Sounds horrible, it scares me

You're scared of gauze, too

Will you try?

Well?

It's okay because I can see

Rather, I feel rested

I might have been born to be a bunny

You are a character

I missed you

I Wanted to see you again

It's not a token of apology, but...

Would you like to have dinner With me?

Is it funny?

I've never been invited by a bunny

I can't answer at this moment

Please leave your message
after the beep

Your trick of bald spot is too much

Kids kept calling me "asshole"
While I Worked

How dare you!

Never mind. Let's go
to the noodle shop

Then bye for now

The police are investigating the case

The missing girl is the daughter of
Yuichiro Tatsuno in Takaoko city

Akemi is nine years old,
a fourth-grader

According to the police

she Was seen on the Way home
from school by her friend

at the intersection Which is
500m away from her home

She isn't back yet?

She called?

Might be something.
No contact for two days

"Thank you"

Hello

You are alive, Haruko

No, I'm not Worried

Me? I survived a massive flood

Huh? No, I haven't eaten yet

Okay

Then at the noodle shop.
See you later

Let me see. What is it like?

The rough

That's too bad

But it can be cool

Really? Is it good?

No, it's bad

Then, I'm doomed

Consider it this Way

What?

Do you know anyone Who can't
eat egg yok, except me?

I don't think so

See? I don't know anyone Who can't
eat egg White, except you

So What?

So...

So...

Don't you think this is fate?

Don't you think We need each other?

I think it's the best as it is

In the end, you are you

Have you got a new boyfriend?

Have you?

What's he like?

He's an ordinary office Worker.
He's sweet

Sweet?

Yes

Sweet

Thank you

Be careful!

I'll return it in the morning

You forgot this

Oh, just throw it away

Alright

See you later

What?

Sorry

Keep it. I'll take a Walk

Why the look?

Hi! I'm from the moss shop

Madam

Too much Watering

The roots Will rot like this.
Be careful

This is the bill for this Week

Thank you

Why don't you go upstairs for a shower?

Let's quit things like that

Got a stomachache?

Do you dislike egg White?

Not particularly

I see...

You're quite upset, huh?

I'll cure you

No catch

Come to think of it, no

Just like me

This Week I had three job interviews

But none of them accepted me

Nothing could change my life

Maybe I'll end up a bunny

Don't be silly

Don't Worry about something
you don't see

You don't see anything in the Water

If you always Worry about What
you don't see, you'll be gloomy

What do you see now?

You

I see you, too

And I'm so happy about it

Nose hair

Nose hair

Right

Haruko, What do you see now?

The blue sky

It's so blue that a bomb might come

Haruko?

Haruko?

What's Wrong?

Nothing. Leave me alone

Did I do something Wrong?

No, it's not that

I am so happy now

But I imagine

About What?

You and me... We might not get along
With each other

Don't try to see What you don't see

Because it always happened to me

I'm scared

After the happiest moment
comes the Worst

I'm Weird?

Haruko

Did you ever fall into a pit?

I have. A huge one

It Was used as a bomb shelter
on the hill

I Was a grade school boy

We had a chicken game, and I Was lost

I Was running alone, then
suddenly I fell in a pit

My sight Was abruptly blocked.
It Was pitch dark

I thought, "I'm dead." I really did

And then?

At the bottom of the dark pit
I saw nothing. I Was at a loss

I felt I Was thrown into a
vortex of fear and despair

A few hours later, a friend of mine
found me. I felt as if time stopped

So you're scared of blindfold,
even a piece of gauze

Even at my age, I'm really scared
of losing my sight

Am I Weird, too?

Good! You're here

Hold me tight

Haruko, stay here With me

Don't go away

Come to my place

I'll show you my universe

What's your universe?

Didn't you listen to me?

I explained to you

Yeah

Tropical fish

Sure, I remember now

Remember? A fish tank is
a sort of galaxy

It's fantastic!

I Want to see it

You Want to see it? My galaxy is
superb, unlike any other

You'll be moved

Let's go!

Alright, let's go!

Wait. I'd like to eat ice cream

Ice cream? OK, then me too

Shinnosuke!

How you doing?

Busy? You stopped calling me

Well, many things happened

I see

I'm a friend of his. Name's Haruko

Erika's mine

Nice to meet you. I'm Nakamoto

The guy from the bonsai shop?

That's right

I told him about you a lot

The boss?

He's fine

He's been looking for a rare moss
in the mountains of Nara

Why don't We have a cup of tea?

We shouldn't bother them

Call me sometimes

Okay

See you!

Let's go

Hey, ice cream!

Oh yes, ice cream

Ice cream...

Welcome

Wait a bit

Strong tea

Strong tea

Who are you

I'm back

Welcome home

Hi, folks in my galaxy!
Care for some ice cream?

Fish Won't eat ice cream

No?

I'm glad to live in a galaxy
Where ice cream exists

Don't eat too much.
What's your stomach made of?

Am I your girlfriend?

In a Word?

Yeah... kind of

It seems that...

I'm a girl to play With, not to love

Boys think so

And I've been thinking
it's easy for me, too

I have ice cream, tropical fish...

and Shinnosuke besides me, like now

I like it

Honestly, I do

A burglar?

I'll check it

It's you! What are you doing here?

Let me use this

What for?

A pitfall

What? A pitfall?

Yes

Now?

Now

Alone

Yes

Listen, it's not easy to dig a pit

I'll help you tomorrow

No thanks. I'll take this

Keep my suitcase for a While

Hey, Wait!

What's that?

Sorry, I have to go

Now?

Yeah, sorry

Right now?

Yes, you can go to bed

"In memory of Nakamoto"

This big?

A bigger one

I Was thrown into a huge hole

I have to retaliate him the same Way

Revenge?

This is okay

It'll be really huge

I have to throw him into a vortex
of fear and despair

I'll do it. Let me

I don't know What's going on,
but I'll do it

See?

You have to dig a hole
using your Waist like this

Just forget about him

Throw him in and forget him

If you prefer,
We can bury him like this

Listen

After he falls down...

Will you poop on him?

Yeah... okay

But first, think of a pretext
to call him out here

Hey, What are you doing?

You're dumping garbage. It's illegal

You Want to dump garbage here

Stop it now

It's just a pit

A pitfall

It can't be. You're no kids

You know,
illegal dumping is a crime

You're under arrest

But it's a pitfall

Forget it. We'll be going

Come With me.
Hey, Wait!

No Way!

Hold it!

Wait

Listen

I'll bet, nobody knows
We're a pitfall unit

It's fun, isn't it?

Not at all

Dig here

Dig

Here?

How solid!

Impossible. Too hard to dig

Let's give up

You can go home

After We dig a pit,
Won't you eat noodles?

No

So you're fed up With noodles

I ate terrible noodles the other day

They tasted bitter

And the roast pork Was dry

Yet the Waitress looked so greasy

It really let me down

Sounds terrible

I'm talking rubbish

It's alright

What?

Look here. It's an illegal dump

That cop should have come here

Take a break?

Hey, give me a smoke.
I've run out

This is the last one.
You can have it

Thanks

Don't you Want a drink?
I'll get something

Where?

There must be a vending machine

Is tea okay With you?

Wait a sec

Shinnosuke. Are you there?

Don't leave me here

Shinnosuke!

Don't leave me alone...

I found this

Are you crying?

I thought nobody Was here

and I Was all alone in this World

Actually, it seems that
We two are left alone

Give me a big hug

Give me a big hug

Hold me tight

Haruko, give me a big hug, too

Hey, are you ready?

Thank you

I'm thirsty. I'm a bit nervous

Come on!

Haruko

I feel drowsy

I'm sorry

I don't know Why I'm doing this

It can't be true

Haruko?

"Thank you, Shinnosuke.
I just couldn't. I'm sorry."

Damn it! Why?

Leave me alone!

Get out!

I'm home

I brought a lot of rare moss

Hiromu

A chocolate?

Thank you

Have you been single all your life?

No, I Was married a long time ago

Not lonely?

No, I have three girlfriends

You do!?

Yes

You're so popular!

Would they mind if I stayed here?

No problem

How can you manage three?

That's the problem.
It's really difficult

Difficult even for you?

Yes. It's a difficult question

I can't find the answer

Here you are

Are you okay?

Hi

This is for you

Go!

Go!

You know, eh... the other day...

What about it?

Well... What shall I say...

Oh, that? Anything Wrong?

It cured you, huh?

Yes, it did

So it Wasn't that type of kiss,
but a kiss of a pacifist

What's that?

As a philanthropist, too

I see. Then I can't complain

You can't

So, you're a pacifist

A philanthropist, too

Then I can't complain

You can't

Hi

You should tell me Where you live

Because you're flighty,
I can't leave you alone

Sorry, I Was Wrong

Sorry

It's so peaceful

...but a bit lonely

How long Will you keep loafing
like that?

I'm thinking

Aya

You should get used to it.
You'll have a baby, too

I Won't

Unlike you, I'm not irresponsible

Poor child! You Were born
into this ruined World

Hey!

Don't give my baby a funny idea

A gray hair

Will you settle down here,
or return to Tokyo?

I'm thinking

Only thinking?
You do nothing after all

You should face reality

So I'm thinking

She's a flippant girl

Coming

Hello

Hi. Been a long time

How are you?

Fine. You look all right

What are you saying?
It's not easy to survive

What do you Want?

What is it?

Well...

Oh, Haruko

Is she in?

Haruko!

Hi

All the same

What?

The landscape. Nothing has changed

It's countryside

Yes it is

What are you doing here?

Nothing in particular

Playing With kids, doing housework

Haruko

I'm dead

As if the end of the World came

Suddenly, it's blacked out

Without feeling anything

in dead silence...

I just thought the World
Would end this Way

Shinnosuke?

Yes?

If the World's end did come...

and both of us Were alone then...

We could stay together, like this

It's quite Warm here

I'm falling asleep

Been to the Midoriya?

Yes

The cook had bushy hair!

Shinnosuke!

I didn't. You did

You suck! You really do

Don't blame me

He had a Wig on, didn't he?

Fuck you

Fuck me
