I'm Oono Yuuta, a ronin student.
It may not seem so big, but my dream...
Aim for Rokkyou University.
Is to get into college,
and be together with Minori-chan who I love!
Tajima Minori 18 years old Yuuta's girlfriend
However...
At the share house I went to in Shimokitazawa called Nuutopia...
There were five beautiful and sexy women!
Come here.
The owner, a fashion designer, Chiho-san.
Muroi Chiho 28 years old Fashion designer
The beautician, Kaoru-san.
Okazaki Kaoru 24 years old Beautician
Aspiring actress and freeter Natsume-san.
Nishina Natsume 21 years old Freeter
Women's college student and aspiring writer, Miha-san.
Komori Miha 19 years old Women's college student
And the mysterious girl, Mao-san.
Uehara Mao 20 years old Cram school student
With these five women...
I'm the only man.
Me, this ronin student...
am in a harem of all places!
On top of that...
Oono Yuuta,
As a suspect in the Shimokitazawa underwear thefts,
Ichimonji Nozomi 23 years old Public safety officer
You're under arrest.
Underwear thief?!
It wasn't me!
It wasn't me!
You've got to be kidding!
Minori-chan!
I'm not an underwear thief!
And I'm not an unfaithful man either!
Yuuta! What was that just now?!
I have to...
I have to tell Minori-chan the truth!
DO NOT SELL, RENT, EBAY, OR USE FOR ANY PROFIT
Yuuta... please....
Be honest with me.
Minori-chan...
That was...
That was the boarding house owner's daughter!
I can't tell her after all!
You're lying!
I heard...
That was just a joke!
It's nothing to worry about!
Really?
Yeah!
Minori-chan, forgive me!
Can I trust you?
Yeah!
I'm terrible!
I wonder who it is?
Sorry, excuse me a sec.
Hello?
It's Miha.
This is bad!
That policewoman came back and said to call you.
What?!
Not good!
What's wrong?
Minori-chan, sorry!
I'm really sorry!
I really gotta go!
Sorry! I'm really sorry!
I'll call you later!
Yuuta?
What's going on?
In the Shimokitazawa serial underwear theft case...
The actual suspect was just arrested.
Please forgive me.
Sweet potatoes from the station!
It was Chiho-san's fault.
She'd forgotten about those ***.
Chiho-nee had totally forgotten about them.
Yuuta!
I'm sorry!
Your ***?!
Excuse me for interupting.
Enoki Tsuyako....
What's the idea just barging in here.
Muroi Chiho...
You can only talk like that after you pay what you're supposed to pay!
What? A debt?
Pay up!
Enoki Tsuyako ? years old Mysterious traditional clothed beauty
1,500 yen.
That's nothing!
What's up with her?
She's a widow from our neighborhood.
She's got her eye on Nuutopia.
Because the ruckus you raised about an underwear thief, it got delayed.
Self-government association April Muroi
Really?
You are a sly fox.
A devilish enchantress who ensnares men.
You're a snapping turtle, aren't you?
You bite onto what's happened long ago and won't let go.
I can't forget that!
You stole the barrels of rice.
Using your dirty tactics.
Barrels of rice?
It was so delicious... that rice....
Thanks to that I think I've filled out.
What's this rice about?
Boy, be careful now.
Muroi Chiho...
The time will come when you will pay for the indescretion of your crimes.
Crime...
Crime and Punishment....
Demons....
Dostoevsky!
It wasn't such a big deal.
But....
Muroi-san, don't hesitate to call on me if anything should happen.
So, we're friends now, right?
Oh no!
I'm happy!
Alright, to celebrate the innocence of Yuuta,
Let's drink!
Are you going to drink again?!
Mao!
Pig!
Mao, how about you?
I'll pass.
I'm going to study.
What's up with that? Not nice....
Hey, Yuuta-chan!
Smile!
Smile!
Smile.
Three variations!
Didn't we say not to mess with his morals?
Um...
What kind of person is Mao-san?
Mao is a ronin like you.
She's twenty right now and in her second ronin year.
Oh?
Isn't it unusual for a girl to be a ronin for two years?
Mao-chan's going into medical school, you know.
Mao-san's ranked high!
Her T-score is 70.
That's double mine!
Anyway, Yuuta...
Don't let your guard down.
It's your duty to guard this place.
That's right. That's why you can stay here for 10,000 in rent.
There can't be that many *** deviates around.
Anyway, it was a mistake by the police.
Yeah, I'm really sorry about today, Minori-chan!
Excuse me,
can I help you?
No, it's nothing.
Ok, tomorow morning then?
Wake me up, alright?
Good night.
Mao-san's room....
Her T-score's twice mine!
Alright! I gotta work hard too!
Here we go!
T-score rank up. Aim for Rokkyo!!
T-score rank up (Natsume)
I've still got a long way to go.
I got the spelt it with the wrong character too!
What?
Um....
I see you make your own lunch.
If you have a request for breakfast, please let me know.
I am the son of a restaurant owner.
Don't want any.
I see.
Um... be careful on the streets at night.
Well, what can you expect having met like that....
Black ***....
Well, some day I'll see her smile.
Because were both studying for the same entrance exams.
So, how's it going, Yuuta?
That's nice....
Katsu-curry....
Yeah, it's from Genkatsu- NEVER MIND THAT!
I was talking about the Shimokita house of homos!
It isn't a house of homos!
Although it is all guys....
Well, at least Minori doesn't have anything to worry about.
So how's everything going with Minori?
Yes, were fine.
Are you going out on dates and stuff?
Yes, well....
Don't get fricken carried away man!
If you've got time for that, you should be studying!
Mao-chan!
Mao-chan?
She's in the same cram school?!
He's Oono Yuuta.
My junior.
Mao-chan...
You're living in a share house in Shimokitazawa, right?
This guy's living in a boarding house in Shimokitazawa too!
A boarding house?
Yes,
the boarding house I'm staying at is full of men,
there isn't a single woman there!
It's totally different from the share house that you're at, Mao-san!
Is that so?
So that means you aren't made to cook breakfast or wash underwear for women?
Yes! That's right!
I see.
I'll see you later, Sekiguchi-kun.
Mao-chan....
Senpai... are you....
Mao-chan's my angel!
My mind's filled with Mao-chan!
Senpai, what about the exams?
I'm worried.
Well of course senpai, this is your third ronin year.
The problem is whether there's a guy at the share house that Mao-chan lives in.
If there is, I'll kick his *** and kill him!
No way!
Hello, Minori-chan?
Minori?
Minori! How're you doing in Tokyo?
Sorry 'bout that, what's up?
Sekiguchi-senpai's same as always, isn't he?
Sorry for calling out of the blue.
But I just have to see you today.
Ok, I'll see you later!
I have to do it!
Minori...chan?
So, Yuuta...
How're these clothes?
So?
Look carefully.
What happened?
You look different from usual.
I don't want to lose.
Huh?
Sorry!
This is weird, isn't it?
It troubles you, doesn't it?
No, it isn't that.
You see I...
I believe in you, Yuuta.
But you see...
I...
I really am a country bumpkin after all.
I see so many beautiful girls on campus.
I started to lose confidence in myself.
Yuuta... There's only one thing I want from you.
Don't ever lie to me.
I'm a country bumpkin too!
There's all kinds of things I don't understand about Tokyo.
I often get confused and unsure.
But I have my dream to get into the same Rokkyo University as you...
To share my college life with you....
Minori-chan, you're the most important dream in the world to me!
That is my sincere feelings! For sure!
Ok! I understand!
Mao-san?
Mao-san?
That geezer!
Last night....
How disgusting.
That geezer...
is he a stalker?!
Maria...
I'd love to go to a hotel with you!
Yuuta?
Tonight, it's here!
A cabaret club?
Special event 1st all time 4000 yen (tax included) Mon-Wed-Sat
Maria?
No. 1 Maria
It couldn't be?!
Yuuta, what's wrong?
It's nothing, I mistook something.
Shall we go back to the shop?
You all knew Mao-san is a cabaret girl?
Yes, she never tried to hide it.
So is it really true? About a stalker?
Yes.
That guy was peeking into Nuutopia.
He had on the same gold watch.
A gold... wristwatch?
I'll ask Mao-san about it!
I'll do something...
Quit it!
Yuuta, your sole duty is to protect this place.
You don't get paid for unneccesasary work.
Hey now!
Isn't that being a bit cold hearted?
Staying out of each others affairs is part of sharing.
I wouldn't want someone prying.
No matter who.
Yuuta...
Women have more things to hide than men.
Our bodies too, right?
Hey! Hurry and make mine too!
Ume! Ume, ok?
What's with that?
Mao-san might be in danger!
I told you, there isn't a stalker!
But... if there were....
You want him to find out?
What?
Sekiguchi-kun...
There must be some reason you don't want him to find out you live here.
Well....
Stay out of my business.
Mao-san!
I left my house as a ronin too....
What's it mean being a ronin?
You have to raise your T-score, right?
That's right, isn't it.
But you know....
Hey!
Wow!
Wow!
Cabaret clubs...
Are awesome!
Don't just stand there, newbie.
Welcome, Maria-sama.
She's here!
Mao-san....
No...
Maria....
Thank you for waiting, Isshi.
Thank you for coming today!
Oh, Maria!
Those are nice!
That geezer...
is he just a cabaret club customer?
So...
Maria....
How about you and I live it up in a hotel!
He is a stalker after all!
C'mon! C'mon!
I can do janken!
First there's...
A service for you, sir.
So, how about a toast?
Nope, I won't.
Instead, jan-ken....
First there's....
Hot towel for you, sir.
Isshi, I'll wipe for you.
Thank you, Maria.
Oh my!
What do we have here?
Proper ettiquete, sir!
Isshi!
I'm sorry, Isshi!
Forgive me!
I thought you were a real cabaret girl.
Isshi, you're my most important customer!
Please, it's true!
You didn't like me, that's why this guy came out, right?
I never....
My not causing a scene in the club was my last favor to you.
I'm done with you!
Please wait!
I'm very sorry!
Maria-san had nothing to do with this!
It was my mistake!
Who're you to Maria?
A friend....
That's why I mistakenly....
Save your friendship crap for somewhere else!
You see, I paid for my time with her.
In this real world...
Don't be bringing in your childish sense of justice!
Don't be bringing in your childish sense of justice!
What are you doing?
Stop it!
Yuuta-kun...
You don't have the time to be messing around in a black suit.
Getting down on his knees for Mao's sake....
"I've felt the hot blood of youth...."
Yuuta-chan, are you alright?
I'm back.
Mao!
Mao! Are you alright?
I'm fine.
I'm sorry for all the trouble.
No, don't worry about it.
Because everyone in Nuutopia are my precious friends.
Well then, I have to excuse myself.
Mao-san!
I... thought that man was a stalker.
I'm glad you weren't being stalked.
You're an idiot!
You couldn't do anything anyway....
Mao-san....
Ok, ok! That's enough!
But....
You see, Mao...
She's never said why, but...
In her high school senior year she left home and came here.
Mao-san's come all this way by herself.
She supported herself.
She's a lot stronger than you think.
She thinks carefully about everything.
She'll be fine.
You see.
Yes....
Yuuta-chan!
People come to understand...
the important things.
Good morning!
I'm sorry!
I'll prepare breakfast right away!
This....
You washed it?
And this is....
Only for today.
That's nice.
Is that Minori's handmade lunch?
Yes....
Senpai, you've got the usual I see.
You better study hard for Minori's sake!
Your T-score's 35, right?
That's five below me, five!
That's not much of a difference....
That lunch looks good.
Lunch....
Mao-chan brings a lunch every day....
It couldn't be....
If Mao-chan were to be like Minori...
If she's making lunch for a man...
I'll tell you again...
If there's a guy with Mao-chan...
I'll kill him!
Not good!
I got it.
I won't tell Sekiguchi-kun about this.
You're a lifesaver!
So the junior Sekiguchi was talking about...
was you.
He said?
"Totaly worse than me,"
"unbelievably stupid!" he said.
He did....
I heard your T-score is 35?
You ambition is to get into Rokkyo University with that?
That's not ambition, it's fantasy.
I believe that if you work hard, your dreams will come true!
Well, whatever.
Ojou?
What is it?
I came to call you.
It looks like you two are getting along now.
We're just in the same cram school.
Hey! Hurry up and give us a hand here!
Mao, come drink with us for a change!
It's Friday night!
Come on!
What do you think, Yuuta-chan?
My costume for my next performance.
Wasn't it a maid uniform?
Well, it seems it's changed to a schoolgirl uniform.
I've gotten less lines, but...
I'll win with my performance!
Teacher...
please- teach- me.
Natsume-san!
But first you need to be taught, right Mr. ***?
Onee-san! Don't corrupt his morals!
***....
No, not that!
I'll get some snacks!
Hey! I want some veggies!
Yes!
Let me.
Please.
I have tonight off so I decided to come see my friends.
So, it looks like Yuuta's totaly become a member of Nuutopia.
That's more like a pet.
Here you go.
Come over here, you two!
Excuse me.
Hello?
Yes...
It looks like the plan might work.
Good, I'm counting on you!
Muroi Chiho...
Your Nuutopia... it looks like it may not make it to June.
I...
See you in a different light now!
O-officer!
It's Nozomi.
Out of uniform I am just an ordinary woman.
Hey! We're all friends!
Hey now!
What about morals!
Drinking in private's the best!
I can't take any more!
What a wimp!
Tonight is...
Friday night!
Let's go!
What? Yuuta's acting suspicious?
I'm sorry.
You're studying for exams and I called you out so early in the morning.
Don't worry about it! You're like a little sister to me.
Can I have more?
Excuse me, can I have another of the same?
Make that two, please.
Gee, thanks!
You shouldn't worry.
Yuuta isn't the kind of guy to two time.
But....
You know, yesterday he was really happy about that lunch.
Lunch?
Yeah, that homemade lunch.
It was girlish it was so cute!
You know that Yuuta...
He was treasuring it.
He was so happy!
What's wrong?
Yuuta's...
lying.
Minori-chan?
It's early for a morning call....
I'm...
Coming over right now.
What?
Sekiguchi-senpai said he'd take me there.
Hey, Yuuta!
I won't forgive you!
Hello?
Hello?!
Not good!
If there's a guy with Mao-chan...
I'll kick his *** and kill him!
Not good!
Minori....
Not good!
I gotta do something about Minori-chan!
Please...
No.
I'm begging you, please come!
No!
Please listen to me!
No!
I beg you!
Just come with me.
That watch!
Why won't you come?
So he was stalking Miha-san!
Please!
Stop it!
Please!
Stay away!
What should I do?
I have to help Miha-san!
But Minori-chan and Sekiguchi-senpai....

It's Mao's cabaret club corner!
In this second episode, Maria works at a cabaret club.
Born in 1983 when commercial decency laws came into effect.
Its style is a mix of a cabaret and club.
Together with girls that are considered it's cast,
you can drink and talk and enjoy the atmosphere.
However, because there's alcohol...
After all, it's just a cabaret club.
Exposed to abusive language
Things like this....
Let me.
*** harassing behaviour
Or like this....
The girls will definitely hate you,
So be careful and enjoy, ok?
Now then, for next week's Shimokita Glory Days!
Yes, it is
Listen carefully.
Take me.
It is a comedy drama, but...
Listen carefully.
but what is that?
This isn't right, is it? ??
Listen carefully.
