I don't want to conform at all!

Hey, Nakajima!

- What's up? - Are you free now?

We got something fun to do. Wanna come?

I know you're studying for the exams. We go to the same school, don't we?

But it's just one night, come on!

Shut up!

- It's okay, isn't it? Let's go! - Get on!

Let's go!

Hey, how are ya?

Wanna dance?

Sorry, I don't dance.

- Aw, he's no fun... - That's true.

Chief, it's about this religious hospital...

Haven't their anesthetic shipments been a little too large?

Their paperwork is in order though, right?

Yes.

- More or less. - Then there's no problem.

The contents of the shipment are up to the customer.

We don't have to concern ourselves with every little detail!

- Understood. - Mr. Mihara.

The union people asked me to tell you that the meeting is starting, so you should come quick.

Oh, thank you.

Let's fight and win our spring negotiation! YS Pharma Worker's Union

Hello, sorry for making you wait.

Thank you for your hard work.

Well, let's begin, then? Since we're all here.

Today we got the second reply from the company,

so, we'll first hear from the head of HR.

- Mr. Nakajima, please. - Sure.

I'll begin my report.

From the side of the company, like we said in our first reply,

because of the severe depression, the company hasn't been performing well, currently.

And thus, while we're deeply sorry, we cannot meet the union's demands.

That is to say, we cannot do anything better than what we said in our first reply.

What are you saying?! That's the same as the previous answer, then!

Chairman!

Glory to the Dharma of the Lotus Sutra, Glory to the Dharma of the Lotus Sutra.

Hiroshi, is that you?

What happened? Why did you get home so late?

- I was talking to the teacher a bit. - There's food in the kitchen if you're hungry.

Thanks.

Hiroshi!

You're mistaken if you think you'll be able to get into college like this!

- Even though we're giving our best for you... - Come on, it's okay, isn't it?

Hiroshi is probably tired. It's nothing to get so worked up about...

No, he has to hear this!

Young people nowadays lack willpower! They're too fickle and quick to give up!

And on top of that, they get absorbed in this trashy music! What a troublesome youth!

I'm sorry, Hiroshi.

Your brother is in a bad mood today.

He always gets like that when something happens at work.

Have a good night.

Pft, what's he talking about?

What happened?

That punk looks down on me, his own big brother.

Come on, dear, forget about those bad things.

- Hey, dear. - Yeah?

That little jerk!

Come on, dear, stop, please!

Our union brass is so bad.

They spout a lot of fighting words,

but they don't really want to fight for us workers.

At best they're just showboating to us, for their own good.

I can only think they've been negotiating with the company behind our backs.

You're the only one standing your ground?

That's right. The price of things keeps going up,

If my salary doesn't go up a lot, I won't be able to afford your wedding, Itsuko!

That's true! I have to root for you, then!

I'll start a communist newspaper, how about that?

Hey, why don't you do that?

The union brass is going to faint and fall over!

I'm not joking! Hear this!

"Workers, hear me! Humans are born free, and must be all equal!"

"Let's all fight together to ensure we can live life as humans, as the constitution says!"

Our only wish is happiness.

- Work can be difficult at times, but... - Oh, you sing so well!

Let's entrust our future to our dripping sweat,

And build a cheerful society!

Let's all sing together!

Nakajima!

Nakajima, good morning!

- Good morning! - Good morning!

Why didn't you answer when I called you? Are you sluggish from studying too hard?

- I was just lost in thought. - I see.

I know studying for entrance exams must be hard,

but at least you boys get to have dreams for the future, so it must be nice!

My only path is to become someone's wife.

My life is completely at the mercy of finding a good husband or not.

Men are the same. Even after we graduate college,

our only path is to become an invisible office worker. There's no room for dreams.

YS Pharma Shipping Department

That's strange.

Yes, this is Nakajima.

What? The president?

I'll be right there.

Come in.

Pardon the intrusion.

Oh, thanks for your hard work.

- How are things with the union? - Oh.

I talked to the union brass, and we decided the spring negotiation will end this month.

- Other than that, nothing in particular... - I see.

- Actually... - Yes?

Shunpei Mihara, from the shipping department, is temporarily working at the union, right?

Yes.

He's a bit of a radical, and he's been criticizing the union brass.

He seems to be popular among the factory workers.

Oh, yes, but he doesn't have enough strength to sway the union...

We can't have that!

It's like a cancer. If we don't nip this danger in the bud,

it'll grow into something we can't control.

So... we should fire him, sir?

You're thinking it's bad if we do it now, right?

Of course, we don't want to end up provoking the union.

So, we need to think of another reason to fire him.

That's where you come in.

I know it's a tough job, but could you come up with a plausible reason?

- Yes. - The sooner the better. I'm counting on you.

Understood.

So, what I'm saying is your worries, and your worries...

they all come from generations and generations of piled up worries from your ancestors.

It all starts in the family, and comes back to the family.

Mother!

Huh?

- I'm going out for a bit. - Okay.

- See you soon. - Take care.

Like I was saying, we can't live our lives without having a connection to our ancestors.

That's the peculiarity we have, what we call "family".

You see?

It's open.

Well, aren't you late?

I came as fast as I could.

- I waited quite a bit, you know! - Oh, that's not good!

- Come on, come a little closer! - Wait a minute.

Why hurry, Mr. President?

You're so cute, you know that?

- So, what do you think of Nakajima? - He's utterly hopeless.

But treat him well, will you? That man can be useful.

For you, maybe, Mr. President, but to me he's like a troublesome child!

A child, that's a good one!

Oh, Mr. Shimada?

This is Nakajima, from YS Pharma! I'm taking the union brass with me, so please!

I'll get a geisha for us, so make sure you have a good girl ready! Thank you!

Bet on yourself! I'll definitely get to the second goal!

After noon, the uproar more or less subsided,

and the university determined that they could deal with the rest with just their own security personnel.

The police, in turn, not wanting to rile the students up any more, pulled their forces back.

Due to such recent events, the preparations that were supposed to start today...

for the entrance exams scheduled to begin on the 24th have been...

- Hiroshi, I brought you tea. - Oh, thank you very much.

This looks really hard! But I'm sure you'll be fine, because you're very smart, Hiroshi.

Is that English?

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. Creeps in this pretty pa..."

It's no good at all! I've forgotten everything already!

Ah, maybe I should rest a little.

Don't push yourself too hard. Why don't you go out to have a good time, then come back?

I saw in the newspaper that a test-taker committed suicide because of the stress.

I think that's a little foolish.

I think I'll listen to some jazz, while my brother's not home.

You don't have to worry about your brother.

- I'll tell you when he comes back. - Okay.

You're kidding!

The union won't be quiet if you fire someone during spring negotiations!

I understand that this looks bad, but Mihara's dismissal has nothing to do with the union issue!

We found out that he's been snooping around company secrets. It's espionage!

However, Mihara is from a radical faction of the union,

and many on the factory floor like him.

The union can't accept that so easily.

We worked very hard to reach an agreement on the spring negotiation.

Are you going to take responsibility for complicating things?

That's the reason why I invited you, heads of the union here, to ask for your cooperation.

I'm sure there are many misunderstandings and speculation,

but the matter with Mihara is something we truly caught wind of at HR, and launched an investigation.

The president himself ordered this.

Please consider our position.

If we're left to clean up the mess, it'll be a problem for us.

You'll at least add something extra to our spring negotiation agreement, right?

I'll do my best.

So please, accept this one request.

We won't be responsible if this blows up in your face.

Yes, I understand.

What do you think, Iida?

If Mr. Nakajima will take that much responsibility...

- Then it won't be an union issue. - I agree.

- Well, if you think so, president. - Yeah.

Well, if our secretary general says so, we'll do something about it.

Thank you very much.

- But it'll be a lot of work for us. - Oh, I understand that.

- Here. - Please.

- There you go. - Thank you.

- Here, here. - Oh, thank you.

Thank you very much.

Notice of Dismissal Having made light of company policy and acted against the spirit of dedication to the company, the persons named on the left are hereby dismissed. 1. Shipping Department, Shipping Assistant Manager, Shinpei Mihara February 21, Showa 41 Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo... Y.S. Pharma Inc. President Yamamoto

Hey, Nakajima, wanna go somewhere?

- The weather is good, and there's no homework! - Oh, you're right.

- How about we go to Tama River? - I like that!

It's delicious!

No!

Let's reach an agreement!

Do you seriously believe what they're saying?!

That is all lies! It's not true!

Where's the proof that I leaked company secrets?!

The company is clearly trying to take down the union!

If they fire me, it'll be a fatal blow to our progressive union...

that thinks and cares about our workers seriously!

- Is that so? - You heard me.

At the very least, I'm a much more progressive person than you!

Huh? Aren't you ashamed?

Even if our way of thinking about things is different, we're all workers aren't we?

Is the union just going to stand by and watch as one of their own gets fired for no reason?

Stand by and watch?

Are you kidding?

We tried to discuss this with the company many times, but it was futile.

Well, I do think it's a pity, though.

Traitor! I won't ever forget your treachery!

Hiroshi.

I was in the wrong, Mihara. I'm apologize.

But I didn't do it out of malice!

I really like you. Please believe that.

- That's not true. - Yes it is!

I swear to god!

I'm saying it wasn't your fault.

I knew how you felt about me.

But I won't be able to see you anymore.

I didn't want to say anything, but I couldn't let you misunderstand it!

Then what do you mean, "you won't see me anymore"?

My dad was fired from his job.

Your brother was the one who fired him.

The official reason they gave seems to be that he leaked company secrets.

But it's actually a ploy to take the union out!

That's what my father said. I believe my father!

It seems like the union brass is on the company's payroll, so there was nothing they could do.

Do you understand?

I'm thinking of quitting school and getting a job.

Which means we won't be able to see each other again.

Stay well.

Goodbye!

Yo!

- Do they have beer here? - They sure do!

- You want some? - Yeah, I do!

Alright, let's get some beer!

Cheers!

Man, I love this band!

Let's drink more! Another round!

That's right! Let's go with all we got!

I want a girlfriend!

Hiroshi! Did you drink alcohol?!

My son!

Yuichi!

Yuichi!

Hiroshi, come here a bit.

Come on.

What is it?

Where were you drinking?

- I can drink wherever I want! - Hiroshi!

You've been weird lately.

Are you unhappy about something? If you are, you can tell us.

What a curious turn of events... You're awfully considerate today, aren't you?

Cut it out! You're just a kid, stop being so cocky!

Stop treating me like a kid, will you?!

What? Who puts food on your table? Whose money is putting you through school?!

Oh, there it is. That's what you wanted to say, right?!

- You punk! - Yuichi, stop!

Hiroshi, apologize!

I'd rather you only played that card at your company!

What?

I'm not one of your employees!

You can't fire me like you did Mr. Mihara!

Who did you hear that from?

You wouldn't understand. It's got nothing to do with you!

Oh, it's got plenty to do with me!

Mr. Mihara's daughter is my classmate.

She's a very capable student, and she had to quit school.

Do you think you have the right to drive the innocent Mihara family to homelessness?!

Quiet! That's not something for you to be complaining about!

A man who does something so despicable, then puts on the mask of a proud adult,

and selfishly pushes his own morals onto us...

I don't trust you. I won't ever believe anything an adult says!

Hiroshi!

Where did you go?

- I was just cooling off a little. - You're a weird one, huh?

- Wanna dance? - Yeah.

You think that'd have good sound quality?

Watch where you're going!

- What was that? - Stop making out and look forward!

That's none of your business, is it?

What did ya say?!

- Bastard! - Come here!

- You wanna go, huh? - Come get me!

- Bastard! - You idiot!

You idiot!

Idiot! I'm gonna get you!

Damn it!

Stop it.

- Yes. - Yes.

- Picking fights on the street! - We're sorry.

Are you all right?

You're pretty brave, aren't you? And you seem to have a lot of confidence in your skills.

You're a former Jonan High student, aren't you?

You're Amaoni, right? The guy who caused a strike and ended up being expelled!

I'm your underclassman, Nakajima!

So, you know me, huh?

I mean, you're famous at the school! You're like our number one hero!

This is where I hang, come by sometime.

I don't let this kind of thing happen over there in Yokohama. Take care on your way back.

- Yes. - Yes.

Let's go.

When we first met I thought you were a timid guy,

but it turns out you're pretty brave. I see you in a whole new light now!

I'm gonna beat ya'!

- Alright! - Hey!

Alright, with this one I have a ready hand!

Well, here's my move!

- See? I have a Yaku-mangan! - Wait, really? Let me see!

Damn, you're right.

- Well, let's shuffle. - Alright!

Alright!

Boss!

What is it? What a bother!

- Is it well shuffled? - Well enough. Let's start.

Uh, I think he's starting this round?

He did get a yakuman.

I'll get this kan, too.

So you've finally come, huh?

Hear me out, Hiroshi.

It's not your fault that you're troubled with so much, that you finally end up doing something bad.

It seems like one of our ancestors from four generations ago...

was always getting into fights, and killed a person.

- Hey! - Hiroshi!

The resentment of that person they killed became malice, and that's what's misleading your soul!

It's a terrifying thing, isn't it?

I heard that person's grave is in a Buddhist temple in Saitama.

Let's go visit it together!

Okay? Let's do it.

And we should pray together every day too!

If we do that, your heart will be relieved. Okay? Let's do it.

All those who in Him believe shall be saved.

- I'm home. - Welcome back.

Sorry for being late.

Etsuko.

You want to go to school, don't you?

No...

Forgive me for putting you through this.

Don't be so timid! I believe in you, dad.

You haven't done anything bad! But enough about that, how was the job search?

Did you find anything?

Etsuko, there's something I've been hiding from you.

What?

I told you the reason why I was fired was because of the union's actions, right?

That's what it seemed like to everyone,

and I also thought so at first.

But it was all planned by a clever enemy!

Really? What do you mean?

I thought about it a lot, and I understood it.

It seems like the President is diverting anesthetics to the black market.

I thought it was weird that this one hospital was ordering so many anesthetics,

but it turns out it wasn't a hospital, it was a company.

I went to Yokohama to investigate, and finally discovered that.

Now that I think of it, I did hear a rumor that our President...

had a close relationship with gangsters in the past.

I'm sure he's planning on making a profit with those anesthetics.

That's so scary!

That's why they thought of me as a nuisance.

They couldn't bribe me, and if I caught them it'd be a big problem for them.

- That's why they fired me. - So that was it.

It's a fearsome scheme.

But I'll definitely catch them, they'll see.

That's dangerous! You're going against gangsters!

Being scared won't do any good. I can only fight.

It's just like we predicted, after all.

It's time, already. If the police gets involved, we're done for.

Yes, understood.

It can't just be Mihara. He probably said something to his daughter too.

For now, apprehend them both. We'll think about what to do with them later.

And don't forget to clean up his apartment too. You hear me? Don't mess it up.

- Okay. Leave it to me. - Good.

Excuse me a bit!

- Hey, what are we doing today? - What do you wanna do, Mayumi?

- Is it too early to go to the usual place? - Any of you know a place that's more exciting?

We've been kinda going to the same place always.

- Oh, that's right! I know a good place! - Where?

- Let's go! - Yeah!

- He's taking so long! What's he doing? - Probably just dawdling.

- Hurry up, c'mon, what took so long? - Hey man, how did it go?

- Hey, come in! - Really?

- Okay, let's go! We're coming! - Alright, let's go!

- Here goes! - Hurry up, c'mon!

- So, how's it? Cool, right? - What's this place?

- There it is! This way! - It's here?

- Okay, come on in! - Wow!

- Wow, this is amazing! - What a beautiful place!

Man, what a nice place! Let's make the best of it!

Now this room's a "party room".

A perfectly secret room, in other words!

We can do whatever we want, and no one will come check on us!

So, you girls wanna come over to the beds?

- There's even a bathtub! - Really? Where?

It's true! It's like a mansion room!

The rest of the schedule is now up to you, my friends!

Sorry I didn't plan anything more!

What are you doing? Let go of me!

What is this?!

Hiroshi!

To Yokohama, please.

What an unbelievable coincidence it was.

I'd never have thought you were seeing President Yamamoto.

What are you going to do?

I wonder what I should do?

At any rate, this is a once in a lifetime chance for me.

I'll be making the best of it, if you don't mind.

Please, Hiroshi! Just don't tell your brother!

I'm a bad woman.

But I did it for his sake!

For the sake of his career!

- I sacrificed myself for... - Stop playing the victim!

I can't trust what you adults say.

Well, more importantly, let's have a businesslike chat to discuss terms.

I don't bear any particular grudges against you, that's not it.

But I can't stand all the deception and the ugly cowardice of you adults.

It's because of all that that we end up suffering and getting twisted.

We have the right to demand reparations!

In other words, since keeping your secret will be a huge pain for me,

I ask that you pay me 200,000 yen.

I understand. Well, if it's for you, I don't feel like it's a waste.

- But what will you do with that money? - I don't know.

Or, well, I could go all out.

I know!

- I could buy a machine gun! - A machine gun?

Yeah.

To kill every single one of the Diet members,

and all the other self-important assholes!

Look at you.

You're so young... I'm jealous.

I wish I could get my youth back.

Damn it!

I heard they went off to Touhoku.

After I hadn't seen them for two or three days, suddenly...

a relative came by to pick up their things, saying he got a job.

Didn't that person say where in Tohoku they went?

No.

Etsuko was working somewhere, wasn't she?

It seems like it was a cafe, but I don't know the place or the name of the shop...

After what happened, it was like that sweet Mr. Mihara turned into a different person.

I think it was because he didn't have many friends...

But it really is a shame...

No, stop it! Get off!

No, no!

Dad, help me! No! No!

Stop! No!

Get off me! Stop!

No, no! No, stop!

No...

Don't do it... Stop!

Stop...

My friends.

We have finally created the perfect place for our youth, a Paradise.

In this Paradise, attachment to people and things is not allowed.

Only those who abide by that law can become a part of this world.

Using this place as our base of operations, we vow to fight...

against the old moral values and the hypocrisy of adults!

- Why are you blushing? - You don't understand anything!

You should just kill the people you hate!

Y'know, and then I'd get his neck, and I'd chop his head off!

I'd cut off the heads of those policemen!

Hey, isn't it heavy?

Come here, help me pick it up!

Peace, peace, peace!

You're awesome!

This world is all wrong!

First of all, cheers! C'mon, man, cheers!

Like this, put your back into it!

Screw you all!

- You're all idiots! - Screw all of you!

Wreck it all! Wreck it all! Wreck it all!

Wreck it all! Wreck it all! Wreck it all!

Wreck it all!

Wreck it all! Wreck it all! Wreck it all!

Daishindo Books

The Sun...

The Sun is gone.

I wish a huge earthquake came...

and destroyed everything!

Damn it! I really want to be stronger!

I will do anything. I want to test my own strength.

- Our code is very strict. - I know that.

If you mess up, you'll lose your life.

I'm fine with that. I want to forget everything.

And put my life on the line to do this!

If you have that resolve, then it's settled. You're in.

Please take care of me.

There's a traitor who broke our code. We're about to dispose of him.

If you break the code, you'll also be disposed of.

You're okay with that?

If you're scared, you can still quit.

You can't kill a person if you don't have the nerve and the resolve.

What will you do?

I'll do it.

He's in there.

After you do it once, everything else is easy.

Etsuko...

It's done, huh? It's easy once you try it, right?

Little by little you get used to it.

If you think about it, adults have been doing it for a long time.

Before we were born, they were killing each other off freely on battlefields everywhere.

But... I don't want to get too used to it.

Idiot. If you don't, you won't be able to do anything.

But I still don't want to...

You're still pretty agitated, aren't you?

Well, it was your first time, after all.

Don't think about anything today.

At times like these, you gotta hold a woman. I'll get you a good woman after this.

Oh, hello.

In there. She's a pretty good girl.

Enjoy yourself. I'll go clean up, and then come back.

- Come on. - Okay.

I see. So, you were kidnapped, then.

I heard they were going to kill my father!

Your father? I see. Like I thought.

Did you hear anything about him?

No.

Why did you come to this place, Nakajima?

Shush! Anyway, let's get out of here.

Nakajima...

- Why are we... - There's still something I have to do!

Listen to me. Stay put until I get back!

That was quick. How was she?

- What the hell? You bastard! - Boss!

You bastard!

- Hey, wait! - Wait!

Bastard! Stop right there!

Damn it.

What happened?

Revenge. I killed him.

- Let's run away! - Where to?

It doesn't matter, just run!

Dammit! I'll buy that machine gun.

Huh?

I'll buy a machine gun, and I'll kill my brother, Yamamoto,

the members of the Diet and all the other self-important assholes!

I wonder what happened to my father?

You should run off to Kyushu or Shikoku.

- If I'm still alive in a few years, I'll... - But my father...

- He was killed! - Huh?

It's obvious, isn't it? Fool. There's no way he's alive.

He was killed!

I'll avenge him! Do you want to join me?

Alright! I'll become the Sun!

THE END
