MIDORI DAYS

The beat of my heart.

A wish that fills even a sigh.

A feeling of warmth just from gazing at you.

Looking for mistakes in a cowardly love.

That awkward kindness of yours.

The flitting droplets I want to keep for myself.

Believing only in these overflowing feelings like it's all rushing past.

Someday I want to be special to you. Catch me with all your heart.

My heart dances in different colors as its melody resounds the way to you.

Hold tight to these beloved days...

Green...

MIDORI KINDERGARTEN Midori...

Midori...

Asi in" green"

Midori, green, midori, green, midori, green, midori...

Who the heck is Midori? Why am I freaking out?

It's like I can almost remember it!

MIDORI

"Beautiful"? "Bird"?

Midori!

MIDORI

That's Midori!

Days 9 Takky Days

SAYAMA TOFU Come again.

Great...Tofu steak until allowance day.

It's all right.

I'll make something tasty with the ingredients we have left.

What's the matter?

It feels like someone's watching me.

Bastard!

Takamizawa?

Hi!

Hello, Midori.

H-Hello...

And that's how I remembered everything.

Oh, that of course includes how I became Midori's friend.

Well isn't that swell!

Yeah, it really...

No it ain't at all...

You don't sneak around taking pictures of your friend!

About that...

Net idol? Midori's Little Room?

Wha-wha-wha... What's this?

It's Midori's homepage.

I can see that!

Amazing!

This home page has more than 500,000 hits!

What!

Well, it's really popular you see.

See, didn't the pictures come out really cute?

Yeah, they're definitely cute...

I mean, you picture snapping pervert!

Y-You don't understand...

You can only get vivid expressions when she's not aware of the camera.

Oh yeah...I guess that's true.

I mean, that's no excuse!

Shut this home page down right now!

But Midori has so many fans!

Fans?

You just thought this might not be so bad.

I-l thought no such thing!

Of course not...

Anyway...

If you don't close it down quick, I'm gonna beat that computer into scrap!

Oh scary!

Oh well. If you'd go that far, I'll shut it down.

In return, can I ask you a favor?

Like what?

I have a little job I'd like you to do.

I'll pay you for it, of course.

A paid job...

You need money, don't you?

You jerk! You even snoop into peoples' personal lives?

Eek! No violence!

I'll split the earnings with you.

WONDER COMIC BAZAAR

S-Seiji.

Wh-What is this?

The country's superlative sales exhibition, Won-Comi.

There's about 100,000 people here.

100,000?

So what do you need my help with in a place like this?

Huh? Takamizawa?

Photo op!

Would you mind a different pose?

Not at all. Would you mind a different pose?

I couldn't help myself with a Marin cosplayer.

Cosplayer?

That's someone who wears a costume from their favorite anime or game.

There's a lot of cute girls here, too.

Oh stop that, Takamizawa!

Don't be mad, Marin. Those girls are just cosplayers.

There's no way an ideal girl like you could exist.

You're my only number one.

Takamizawa you sweet-talker!

Stop that, Marin. Everyone's watching!

And so, here we are.

What's that?

Our circle has a booth too, you see.

Booth?

I want you to help me sell stuff.

That's not what I meant! Who said you could turn her into merchandise?

Well, that home page I showed you was so popular...

I thought I might as well do some mass production and marketing.

See, look, look. Little Devil Midori.

This one's Princess Midori.

And for hardcore fans, Karuizawa Widow Midori.

Her downcast eyes are so hot!

Are you all right?

I think I just lost all will to live.

So you see, I tried some different versions.

And look, when you wear one on both hands it's twice the fun!

There's even a gimmick.

I recommend this, too.

The built-in massager even works out stiff shoulders.

So, thanks for the help.

I refuse! Don't sell those, either!

Huh? Can't1?

Of course not!

Yet they came out so well.

That ain't the issue! Yet they came out so well.

That's too bad.

Here I was thinking I'd give you...

...half the profits from sales and Midori's modeling fees.

Yeah, step right up.

Step right up.

Listen...

Please let me help drum up some business.

Dummy! Do you know what kind of panic it'd cause if you were found out?

That might work.

Welcome, step right up!

The articulated figure, Puppet Midori is on sale here!

Come on over!

Hey... Come on over!

Are you really sure about this?

Relax. Just say we're using a prototype and ventriloquism. No one will suspect.

Come on, please take a look!

That's awful cute.

Look! From that home page.

Midori from Midori's Little Room!

It looks heavily aimed at niche fans, but let's go take a look.

Hey, check out the crowd...

Thank you!

Here.

Thank you!

Thank you, come again!

SOLD OUT

What? You've sold out already?

Yeah, sorry.

What the heck!

I'm really sorry!

I'm so tired...

Have some coffee.

We got so busy I thought I was gonna die.

Huh?

Wh-What?

Um, could you sell me that?

Huh? No, no we can't!

This is...uh...The p-prototype.

Right, Sawamura?

Y-yeah!

I'd pay 20,000 yen for it!

N-no, you see, um...

I'll pay 25,000 yen! 30,000 yen!

H-Hey! Wait a minute!

70,000 yen! 100,000 yen!

150,000 yen! 160,000 yen!

190,000 yen! 195,000 yen!

195,100 yen!

H-hey...this's turned into some kind of auction.

Wh-what should we do, Sawamura?

500,000 yen!

Look, it's him... It's Masami Kyomoto!

It really is! It's "sure death" Kyomoto!

He's famous for killing evil governors in TV dramas and being a lady killer...

...in his personal life!

Why's he here?

Don't you know? He's famous for being a figure collector.

Wow...

Mine was the winning bid.

You can hand it over now...

E-Enough already, all of you!

Don't go and decide this stuff on your own!

She's extremely valuable to me!

I don't care how much money you pile up, I'm not gonna sell her!

S-Seiji...

You care about me that much...

D-Dummy. This ain't the time for that!

A magnificent sentiment!

You're definitely a true doll maniac!

Huh?

We must all follow his example!

Right, that's the way!

Uh... hold on...

How about it?

We've met with a magnificent doll maniac, no, a god!

Shall we take a picture together?

Yeah! Shall we take a picture together?

Wh-what?

C-cut it out! I don't wanna take any pictures!

Come on, people! Smile, smile!

Seiji became a god that day.

MIDORI DAYS

This is it.

Are you sure it's all right to spend so much?

We've got plenty from what Takamizawa paid us.

Sometimes it's nice to have real steak instead of tofu steak.

What's the matter?

I sensed someone...

Sa-wa-mu-ra.

So? What's going on?

Actually, I've... fallen in love...

Huh?

Y-You mean, not with a doll?

Yeah.

Well hey that's great!

This means you can escape from living in that spooky world.

Seiji, that's saying too much.

I've never felt this way before.

This throbbing in my heart...

What should I do?

Well, there's nothing to do but confess.

Confess...

That being said, good luck.

But I know everything about dolls.

But when it comes to real girls, it's fair to say I don't know a thing.

Well, I guess you've got a point...

You have plenty of experience in this, right?

Uh, sort of. I'm just on a 20-long losing streak...

Anyway, good luck!

Don't just say that!

There's no one else I can go to on this!

If you help, I'll give you a limited edition "Good-morning Marin" figure.

Good morning!

No thanks! Good morning!

Let's help him out, Seiji.

Huh? What, now you too?

Takamizawa actually fell in love with a human girl.

And he depends on you so much...

Fine, whatever.

Really, Sawamura!

Yeah! A man means what he says!

Thank goodness, Takamizawa! Good luck!

Thank you, Midori.

I'll do it!

This is the way she takes to and from cram school.

I see.

Why do I gotta help someone else's love life when I've got no girlfriend?

There! That's her!

It's like I've seen her before...

Me too...

Sharp as always!

Here, it's this!

She looks exactly like Marin.

I was so surprised the first time I saw her.

She's even to scale!

That's not the extent of her charm, either!

Watch!

ow!

S-Sorry...

That clumsiness is awesome!

She's Marin, mind and body!

I want to get her to cosplay.

Planet girl! Ultra-Teacher! In the name of the stars, I'll test you!

Nah, maybe the Ultra-Nurse costume...

Planet girl! Ultra-Nurse! In the name of the stars, I'll inject you!

He thinks about nothin' but dress-up dolls...

Koho

Takamizawa Days 3

First, let's see what you'll wear for me.

I can't decide.

Tell me, which do you want to wear?

My little Ma-ri-n?

No!

Director: Shuichi Takamizawa, Cast: Shuichi Takamizawa, Yuma Takiguchi

Taka Days Production Committee

Pervert forces his will on high school girl

This is bad, Seiji. If we let things go like this...

I know! I see that!

Hey Marin, does this throbbing in my chest make me a heartthrob?

I have to save her... from this pervert's clutches!

So hey, Sawamura.

How should I confess in order to get her?

Please, Sawamura. Tell Takky how!

Huh!

I'll tell you!

Seiji?

Wh-what should I do?

Although...

W-w-what?

Not enough...

You don't have enough manliness. At this rate I'm sure she'll turn you down.

N...

No...

What should I do?

I'll teach you personally what manliness is all about!

Really?

Teacher! Thank you so very much!

Follow me then, Takamizawa!

Roger!

Here she comes.

Okay, Takamizawa!

Right now you're complete, a man's man!

Y-You think so?

She's as good as fallen for you! Right, Midori?

R-right!

Now go and show me the power of the new you.

Yeah! I'm off!

Good luck, Takamizawa!

Ah! Sorr...

Yo, girly.

I've got a little somethin' to discuss with you.

Any girl would be scared of someone dressed in that yankee getup!

I know he's gonna fail.

This isn't very nice to Takamizawa, but it's for her sake...

Good!

You look cool!

Really?

It's so awesome!

N-No way... There's no way...

Seiji, this is bad. The plan is backfiring...

D-Damn...oh well...

This was the last thing I wanted to do...

What?

So, what did you want to discuss?

Oh, right! Actually, I...

That is... l...wanted to...

Hey there, pal!

Me?

PEACEFUL DEATH

Izzat cute girly wit you den, ah?

Eh? Um... Who are you?

It don' matter who I am.

Leab da girl an' split before I kills you, see?

Come on, run. Hurry and run.

That's the only way you're stayin' out of the news!

Takamizawa...

You can't have her! I won't give her to you.

Even if you beat me up... Even if I die...

I'll never let you have her!

Takamizawa...

Takamizawa... You care about her that much...

Is this a mistake?

Am I the one who's wrong?

Seiji...

Do you think maybe we misunderstood Takamizawa?

Yeah...

Right now Takamizawa's a different person from yesterday.

A real man's man!

Right!

Oh well. I'll just have to lose and give it up to him for tod--

Huh?

Wha?

W-What?

What the hell's the big idea!

You just wrecked the mood! Stupid bastard!

Trying to mess with Yuma Takiguchi of Haruhara Girl's High School?

Why don't we go have some tea somewhere, cutie?

Takamizawa?

This isn't...

This isn't my Marin at all!

No! Wait for me, you cool cutie!

No! You're not like Marin!

No, wait up!

Stay away from me!

Takamizawa ended up being himself after all...

Well, you know the real Marin truly is number one.

I won't forgive you the next time you're unfaithful!

Sorry about that. I love you.

Yay!

My number one is of course Seiji.

Whatever happens, that won't change.

That's why I hope I'll be his number one someday...

So before I knew it I was thinking about you.

It seemed terribly embarrassing and terribly unpleasant...

...because I'm afraid of conveying my feelings.

Even if it's in my head, my heart can't do a thing.

When I see you, as always I try to talk so that you won't figure me out.

My composure gone and in pain, I wind up lying to you.

But...

A little more, a little more... If I get a little closer to your heart...

A little more, a little more... ...So that this moment won't disappear.

God, please grant me courage.

My childhood friend Kota was worried about me, so he came to visit Seiji.

Midori Days, Days 10: Hearts' Distance.

But Seiji, I want things this way...
