What is it?
Party?
What's that?
What do you mean "what's that?"
It's Sakamoto-san's restaurant's third anniversary party!
Oh, I forgot.
I'm not going then.
The invitation for this party was for you, Kuwano-san. Isn't it weird if only I come?
At parties, the ancient Romans laid down everywhere on the floor
and ate food with their hands.
Did you know?
Enough of your wisdom!
There are people who might be interested in houses.
We can also do some business here.
And when their hands become dirty,
they wipe them on their own clothes.
Do you know how many storeys a five-storey pagoda has?
Isn't it five storeys?
Wrong~!
It's actually only one storey.
Eh? How come?
It's said to be five storeys, but it only has one floor, the rest is just the framework space.
That's why, it's only one storey.
Oh…
Don't lie to my client!
Sensei!
Don't call me "Sensei." - Yes.
He's the one I mentioned earlier, Kuwano-san.
Ah!
Good evening!
I've heard that you are an outstanding architect.
Not at all.
If you brought the DVD, then go over there.
There's no need.
He cannot possibly understand the importance of the kitchen.
Our opinions are different.
But, we still have to do business! Why would your opinions differ?
You can't explain the convenience of having the kitchen near the bedroom to someone like him.
Kuwano-san, why did you become an architect?
Because God told me to.
That was a joke just now.
You are very amusing!
In high school, I saw a movie called "Blade Runner."
In the movie,
I saw huge buildings as tall as the pyramids.
Have you seen it before?
No, I've never seen that movie before.
Is that so?
I only watch mainstream movies.
It's actually really mainstream…
It's an otaku movie.
I'll watch it later.
There fundamentally isn't anyone who would watch it in this day and age.
I'm sorry.
Umm...
Do you want to eat something?
This spaghetti is delicious.
It's already cold.
Spaghetti noodles have a diameter of 1.9 millimetres.
These are a bit thin.
So strictly speaking, these are spaghettini.
In short,
You should have said that this spaghettini was delicious.
Is that so?
To return to the previous conversation,
Before watching "Blade Runner,"
You should first watch
"Brazil"...
Pardon me,
but if you'll excuse me.
See, you drove her away.
It doesn't matter.
Umm…
Sooner or later, I will become a professor.
All the professors' wives are doctors
who support their husband's research.
They are their husband's left hands!
Is that so?
Ah, you might as well open your own doctor's clinic!
How about it? That has a better prospect!
Umm…
I think my father would be willing to lend us the money.
As for the location…
Wait a minute!
Huh?
Are we discussing this for the sake of marriage?
Of course!
Eh?
Eh?
Good night.
Good night.
If you don't change that personality of yours, you'll end up lonely.
Lonely?
I don't care.
Whatever.
Eiji-kun!
Oh, Saori-chan! Sorry to keep you waiting.
Well then, I'll be going now
Guess it's time to rent DVDs.
(Adult Video Section)
An action movie isn't bad, but I wanna borrow an AV (Adult Video).
I want to watch an action movie.
Welcome.
This isn't actually the movie, it's the 'Making of' video. Do you still want it?
I knew that.
Oh?
Yes, yes!
Here it comes!
This is Kuwano-san's newest house design.
Wow, it's excellent, isn't it?
Then I'll leave it up to you, Kuwano-sensei!
I said this last time too but,
please don't call me sensei.
Oh, sorry about that, I didn't know.
I'm terribly sorry. We didn't mean to make you worry. You know how creators can get.
If their personalities aren't strange, then they wouldn't be able to build good houses.
Right?
Being strange won't help one build good houses.
Did you think that we needed a plan to make garbage cans?
Tha-that's true…
I'm sorry.
Even though he is quite difficult to get along with,
his standards are very high.
Besides, our company, Japan House Produce,
has always taken responsibility by providing good management. Please rest assured.
Yes.
I thought of consulting an architect first.
What if the finished house turns out strange? I was quite worried.
However, seeing this house makes me feel reassured.
It gives off a...
"unique" kind of feeling.
Can you tell me the difference between "unique" and "strange"?
Eh?
It's best if you specify clearly.
Like, for instance, the width of the living room
Or if you perhaps want a sunroof...
Oh, you mean the specifics?
That's right…
This one…
I think this is very good!
It's exactly like the house I imagined.
Who designed this?
Eh?
Oh, it's...
Maeda Noriyuki-san.
Maeda-san's business is in Shinjuku.
Give him the address.
Pack this stuff up.
Yes.
Really...
If that's not strange, then I don't know what is!
[3F Kuwano Architectural Firm]
That was careless…
Could you please think more about our business?
Here.
Thanks.
If it continues on like this, then it would be impossible to keep this office open.
We are a large company. I still have a business license.
So, we'll just send that client to another architectural firm.
Do as you like.
It seems like my meager salary is going to vanish.
It's been decided long ago that this company's employees will be paid low wages.
Who decided that?!
I did.
Oh!
When you're done with the kitchen, start designing the rooms.
Yes!
The lighting is better, even if the mood is not that good.
I think this pattern will also give off the same feeling.
For Japanese houses,
in order to increase the number of rooms,
they reduce a huge part of the kitchen area.
If we could overcome this kind of idea, and carry out plans with the kitchen as the focus,
even if it means reducing the number of rooms,
Then the residents can finally realize their dream of living comfortably.
I think I can feel the happiness of family life.
I want to get married too!
But in the end,
The only ones who can be happy living in this kind of house,
are housewives who are bored to death everyday.
The husband must also bear the three harmful debts of wife, child, and mortgage.
As a result, we're like this,
earnestly trying to become one of them.
This was something he made himself. How dare he say something like that!
Sawasaki-san, why don't you go out with him?
Huh?
If he had a girlfriend, his attitude might become better.
Pass!
I already have an ideal man.
Is there no one at all?
I want to be able to shop and pick up my laundry. I've had enough!
It's been like this since I came 2 years ago.
I've worked with him for eight years now.
Eight years? You've really endured a lot.
It's work.
What about you?
In order to learn that person's techniques, I must endure it.
You don't have to endure it. There are plenty of other architects around.
He was listening!
Eh?
There's still a slight problem after all.
Hold on, don't touch that!
Wait, that wall! Absolutely do NOT tear down that wall!
Don't tear it down!
Ahhh~~~
Now I have to redo it~
Take care of this.
Take care of this.
Take care of it?
As I thought, it's better to expand the kitchen a bit more.

[Episode 1: I Like Being Alone, Is that Wrong?!] We only met by chance and had a cup of tea together.
[Episode 1: I Like Being Alone, Is that Wrong?!] That's because you're not even taking what I say seriously!
That's because you're not even taking what I say seriously!
That's not it,
I just don't want to hear your paranoid theories
Or be called a terrible woman. I just want you to be on my side.
Yeah.
Two boxed lunches.
He's gets so strict because he doesn't even try to understand me.
Aren't all men like that?
Does he even have to be jealous over Ken-chan?
That's because Ken-chan is very handsome, right?
It's true!
Since you have a boyfriend now, are you still going to take care of it?
I started taking care of him because of a failed relationship,
But now, he's already become part of the family.
Compared with men, only Ken-chan is honest and cute!
Why did you name it "Ken"?
Because it's a dog. ['ken' means dog]
Ken-chan! I'm home!
Were you a good boy? Yes, yes!
I'll go and prepare your meal right away, ok?
Ken-chan.
It's time to eat!
Just wait for a little bit.
Yes, yes.
Here you go!
Does it taste good?
Eat slowly!
No, Ken-chan~
Stop it already!
No! That's not it!
I can't go on~
Stop it already,
You can't do that there!
Do you understand, Ken-chan?
It's Ken-chan again.
Hey, hey, Ken-chan! You're really stubborn!
Okay~
Okay, okay, Ken-chan!
Hold on, hold on!
I get it, I get it!
Not again!
I don't know why, but it hurts…
I can't take it anymore!
What should I do if it's a weird person?
I'll forgive him for today.
It really… hurts… ow-ow-ow…
Umm…
Hello? Is there something wrong?
Are you not feeling well?
Does it look like I'm in good condition?
How long before we reach Jounan Hospital?
15 minutes.
What is it?
He says he wants to go to Nakagawa Hospital.
Is it something concerning the hospital?
Probably…
Aren't you his wife?
No way!
Blood pressure, 122/62
How is he?
It's a severe stomach ache.
But, it seems to have alleviated a bit.
There's no problem with the pulse.
Got it.
We're going now.
We'll leave it up to you.
Eh?
What is it?
Hey,
Have you found the pulse meter switch?
Not yet.
Preparing the table is your job, isn't it?
I'm sorry.
Umm…
He says he wants to see Doctor Nakagawa.
Which Nakagawa?
The Director or the Assistant Director?
I think he said the recklessly wasteful one.
The Assistant Director has gone to analyze dead bodies.
Well then, I'll just…
Hello?
Right now?
Please don't use cell phones in the hospital.
Sorry!
I'll call you back later.
Find some disinfectant powder.
Okay.
When did it start hurting?
30 minutes ago...
It sort of started bleeding.
Oh, blood came out?
What colour was it?
I didn't look. Could this be hemorrhoids?
I can't tell for sure yet.
Let me see your eyes.
Umm… It's my stomach that hurts.
By looking at the extent of the anemia,
it looks like a lot of blood was lost.
How much was it?
Didn't I already say that I didn't look?
Prepare a sphygmomanometer. Also a *** thermometer and an *** dilator.
Yes.
Please lie down.
I'm going to look at your stomach. Please put your legs up.
No,
it's my neighbour.
A man.
So what if he's a man?
Why don't you believe in me at all?
I've already said it before but
I also know about you going out and having tea with Manami-chan!
You're wrong!
I'm not out drinking,
I'm at a hospital!
Probably, a polyp (nonmalignant tumor) has developed on this part of the large intestine.
It is preventing you from excreting waste,
because this part is blocked.
If you try to force it, your stomach will hurt, which means
it will bleed.
Thank you for explaining it to me in detail.
Now, please take off your pants and underwear.
Eh?
We're going to do an *** examination.
***...
Please go ahead.
I think it's already stopped hurting.
How can it stop hurting so suddenly?
Like I said,
I'm fine already.
I am a doctor.
There's no need to be shy.
It's not like that at all!
Anyway, I'm cured already.
It's very painful, isn't it?
Moreover, it will bleed again.
If you go home like this, it will become a lot worse.
Listen,
If the person himself says it's okay, then it's okay!
Where are you going?
Nurse Egao,
I have a small favour…
Yes?
I'm just going to take a little look,
okay?
Don't worry, it doesn't hurt at all.
Why won't you pick up the phone?
We should discuss this properly
We haven't seen each other lately
And because of this...
Your balance is not enough to continue this call…
Not enough? And I was just in the middle…
Excuse me,
What did that person eat this evening?
I don't know.
I'm only his neighbour.
Is that so?
Oh, no!
I was just thinking that if you were his wife, then it must be very *** you.
Huh?
Is it a very serious disease?
Oh, no...
it's not a disease.
You mean his personality?
That's true...
Please wait a moment!
Please...
It's no good.
He insists on going home.
Then, we'd need to take some blood samples for testing
to research the reason for blood in the feces.
He'd need to be connected to an IV and stay in the hospital for a day to be observed.
And finally, we will decide what to do according to the results of the test.
Is that fine with you?
In that case…
Take him to a room.
Inject 500 millileters every six hours, two or three times.
Yes.
This way please.
Then, I'll be leaving now.
Thank you for your help.
Get well soon.
Oh, I'm so sorry for the trouble.
Give my regards to Ken-san.
Eh?
Then...
Thank you.
Mari-chan, sorry!
I've found the pulse meter switch!
That female doctor lied to me.
I'm completely fine after a night's rest.
If you're careless, it'll hurt again.
Then it's your fault.
At that time, the assistant director was busy
going to night clubs…
Aren't you having affairs? Honestly…
If that's so,
then I'll bring hostesses over.
You good for nothing.
At least tell me, is it good or is it bad?
Because you can't cook like this, right?
Daddy!
Oh! Yumi!
How is it, brother? Staying in the hospital because of hemorrhoids, it's a rare sight.
It's not hemorrhoids.
It's a polyp.
Uncle, you have hemorrhoids?
It's here.
You guys ran ahead and I couldn't find the room!
Sorry.
Mother, it's been a while.
Good afternoon.
How's he doing?
Last night, it seems that it was extremely painful.
So we had him stay overnight at the hospital to observe the circumstances.
That female doctor was exaggerating.
Well, thank goodness it wasn't life threatening.
I know you don't care,
But if you died, then I wouldn't be able to meet my grandchildren.
Isn't there one already?
But Yumi is a child of the Nakagawa family, right?
Yeah
When you grow up, a lot of guys who want to inherit our family hospital will go after you!
- Yup! - Don't say that!
When that time comes, will this hospital still be around?
***.
You see? That kind of psychologically twisted way of talking...
It surely must have been from your father.
It's not from me.
Dad's gone, so mom is just lonely.
Just think of it as being filial and get married already!
I'm not the least bit lonely!
And besides,
I never said I wanted Shinsuke to hurry up and get married.
I only said
I wanted a grandchild. That's all.
I still don't know what the difference is.
It's entirely my neighbour's fault.
We almost had a fight!
Thank goodness that didn't happen.
Tomorrow night, we're going on a make up date!
A date right after a fight… makes me so excited!
I think we should we get married.
Huh?!
After we're married, we'll have more time to spend together.
And I don't think we'd feel distant towards each other too.
And since my uncle's family is coming back from Los Angeles, I need to move out of this place soon.
But marrying because it's convenient, I still think it's a bit…
It'll be fine!
I'm thinking positively about this!
That's good but…
I should find a good man too...
Say,
what's the guy next door like?
Is he single?
He's a bit weird.
It's better not to get involved with him.
Really?
Because he really is strange.
Eh?
Who is that?
What do we have here... He's quite a good-looking guy.
Yes?
Hello.
Sorry to bother you on your day off.
Not at all.
I'm from the office of your neighbour, Kuwano-san.
I'm really sorry for the trouble he gave you last night.
Here's a little something, please accept it.
Oh, you shouldn't have!
We're neighbours anyway...
She already has a boyfriend,
But when a good man appears, she goes like that...
Oh, how's he doing now?
He seems fine now.
He's always instructing others, so occasionally it's good to let the doctor instruct him for a while.
Instruct? Is he the president?
No.
It's a small business.
Oh, a business card...
We're architects.
Really?
Are you designing something now?
You could say that.
Wow! That's amazing!
What kind of buildings have you designed?
I'm really sorry. It was difficult for you to set up a meeting and all.
No,
it's not a problem of whether I dislike university hospital doctors.
Yeah.
It's just that,
there's a lot of transfers, which is the same with white-collar workers.
Children?
I haven't even fallen in love! I haven't thought about that at all.
Please don't worry about it, okay?
Getting married...
Well, I would like to.
This kind of attitude is no good?
- Excuse me - Huh?
Sorry to hear about your marriage troubles.
There's really no trouble.
What's the matter?
I'm going home.
Thank you for taking care of me.
What are you saying?
Sorry, I'll call you again later.
You can't!
Didn't we agree to wait until we see blood test results?
And there's still the camera for the intestines…
I'm completely fine now.
This is the effect of the IV. There will be a relapse.
If that happens, then I'll think about it.
- I still have work to do. - Someone's not getting any younger.
Huh?
Was there something that made you feel older lately?
I'm not talking about myself.
In the end, the one who will end up in pain will be you yourself.
That sign has absolutely no taste. Tell Nakagawa that for me.
I still have matters to attend to with your polyp.
Well, my polyp says that it wants nothing more to do with you.
Is that so?
How very unfortunate.
Yes, truly. Now, if you'll excuse me.
Later, when you come back crying, I won't attend to you!
Oh,
There's a box of snacks from your neighbour.
And for the reconstruction,
there's the receipt.
2000 yen?
1000 should be enough.
2000 yen is already very cheap…
It all went to the hospital.
That neighbour of yours is pretty cute.
Oh!
Damn it…
Kaneda has updated.
Where?! Where?!
What does the phoney architect say?
He has signed a contract to design K-san's villa in Denenchofu.
Look! ["The page is still under construction. Please check back again soon."]
He's pulling our leg. He hasn't completed anything! ["The page is still under construction. Please check back again soon."]
It's all nonsense.
It's just a trick to lure women.
But I respect a man who, in order to trick women,
would go as far as to create a homepage.
How stupid.
I'm thinking of going for your neighbour.
Is that okay?
You don't need to ask for my permission.
Okay.
Oh, that's right,
I thought
you were already going out with a girl named Kaori or Shiori.
Saori?
I do like her,
but lately it feels like she's lost some of her freshness.
He's strapped for cash, yet he's being unfaithful to women.
Oh, yeah.
That woman has a boyfriend.
Someone called Ken-san.
I'm the type to be even more determined to fight after hearing this.
Oh, really?
- What? - Her laughter is very soft
- And her skin is really white! Super cute! - Who, who?
- It's here, that's her! - Her?
- Isn't she cute? - Not bad, eh?
Here you are.
Yes, thank you.
Do you need a spoon?
No, I don't.
Do you have a point card?
No.
Okay.
Great!
Yeah, what's up?
Huh? Kaneda?!
He's like a signboard.
I wanna see!
Oh! A woman just came.
A gorgeous woman.
Her legs are really long.
Probably a model.
Whoa~
What an amazing car!
What kind of car is it?
How would I know something like that?
But it looks really expensive.
Take a picture of the gorgeous woman.
Hell no!
That's embarrassing.
Please!!!
For the sake of me working overtime.
I didn't bring it with me!
Honest, it's because of work!
- But your text message said… - Did you cut your hair?
You certainly know how to please women.
Did you cut it for me?
So hurry up and…
- Hold on... - Hmm?
What are you doing?
Eh?
The car!
The car?
Yeah.
Go ahead and take the picture then.
Hey!
Oh~
Good evening!
How are you?
You read this type of manga?
Oh, no!
It's my boyfriend's.
Oh!
A date?
Are you alone?
Nowadays, do young people read manga and not talk to each other on a date?
Going to the movies is the same, isn't it?
Well, that's true.
I'm right over there.
Well then, see you around.
Yeah, that doctor.
She's really smart,
but reading at a manga café all by herself,
don't you find that lonely?
Want something to drink?
Wow! It's a 2000GT!
Where's the woman?
Not this again
Wait a minute, Nobuo!
Hey!
Yeah?
Isn't this house going to be leased?
Huh?!
It's not supposed to be, right?
- The record says that it's going to be leased. - See?
It doesn't matter whether it's going to be leased or not.
What do you mean "It doesn't matter"?!
It's your responsibility to follow the construction plan accordingly.
I have 30 years of experience.
Have some faith in me.
I see.
Thirty years experience of slacking off and getting paid!
What did you say?! You ***!
Not again!
This is already the fourth time! Ahhh! It's slippery!
I will go apologize to the carpenters.
Thank you very much.
There's no need to apologize.
They were the ones who were wrong.
It's because we have this kind of feminine existence
that you can do as you like, Kuwano-san.
Well said!
Oh yeah, Chief,
here's a copy of the estimate for the construction site.
Thank you.
Tonight at 7?
OK!
I'm not working overtime today.
Tonight you have a date with this girl?
Huh?
Hold on...
Is there someone else you have to date?
That was a joke!
Please don't say something that will cause confusion.
The way you love to mock people,
isn't it because you're bored of them?
Please don't analyze someone as you please.
I won't think of it either.
In the end, this is how the era of children will be like.
What kind of life does a person live to create this kind of character?
Do you have some sort of trauma?
Have you grown old?
Why does someone who has a habit of making houses for people,
have absolutely no interest in them?
Someone who makes tangerine boxes doesn't necessarily have to like tangerines, right?
Do you think I overdid it?
It's okay.
That guy looks like an S, but he's actually an M. (*** = likes hurting others, *** = likes hurting oneself)
Oh, that's right!
Today is Sensei's birthday!
His 40th.
Really?
He forgot himself.
Who knows…
Maybe he's just waiting for someone to mention it?
Why don't you guys do something special for him?
Should we buy him something?
Throw him a surprise party?
Would he like it?
"What kind of childish trick is this?"
"It's stupid."
Let's forget it.
Shall we forget it, then?
You really stayed with that little sister of mine for 10 years.
Of course, you made the introduction, so why say something like that, brother.
As for me, I don't like it.
Roses with long thorns.
I like them, is there something wrong with that?
Oh yeah!
Today's my birthday.
Bro, did you suddenly remember that now?
It's weirder to remember slowly, right?
The things that we remember are things that we remember all of a sudden, right?
Yes, yes...
40 years of peculiarity.
40, eh?
Would you like a glass of birthday cocktail?
Don't be so nosy.
Please don't listen to other people's conversation.
I'm very sorry.
But speaking of 40 years, half of your life has already passed.
Yeah.
Let's go to another place, shall we?
This Oolong tea has no flavour.
