TWITCH YOU ARE MY TOY

Mr. Kushida…

Ms. Kijima?

Are you Ms. Kijima?

Why are you late?

What the hell? You're not even going to apologize?

I know you're Kushida's favorite

photographer, but today, you're my assistant.

I apologize.

What's your first name, Ms. Kijima?

The boss didn't tell me anything about you.

- Unless you prefer the formalities... - It's Minori.

Minori Kojima. That's a pretty name.

- Is Shinichi your real name? - Yes, why?

- No reason. - No reason!?

I was just making conversation...

I want you to behave in front of Ms. Mori.

Who's that?

Ageha Mori. She's the woman we're going to interview!

She's the most popular erotic manga writer.

She's finally starting a new series after a five year hiatus.

- What are you doing? - Are we starting?

Of course, make sure to get her best face!

What's her best face?

It's your fucking job to find it!

What a jackass...

And lose the attitude.

The best face!

Well, let's get started…

What have you been doing during your break from writing?

Was it just a break?

It wasn't a break.

- You mean, five years ago… - I stopped writing, that's all.

Was there a reason why you quit?

I can't write anymore...

Stop shooting.

Hey!

It wasn't your fault. No one's gonna get anything out of her.

I could tell by reading her last book.

"I can't write anymore," huh?

- You should leave her alone. - Just keep quiet!

What? She says she can't write anymore so you just come back with nothing?

Are you retarded?

You fucking amateur.

She said she'd write again.

- But… - You need to get how women like that work.

She doesn't know what she wants to do.

You have to push her in the right direction.

I'll speak to her again tomorrow.

You don't get what I'm saying.

Make it up.

Write that she's working on something right now.

We'll publish the interview.

Then, we'll get her to write... got it?

Go write!

Have you been using your own real-life romances as inspiration?

Yes. A lot.

If it doesn't feel right, just don't do it.

It's her own fault the interview went so badly.

Uh-huh...

You are too nice.

I guess so.

- I wanna do it. - Okay.

Mr. Kushida?

I'm on my way to your place right now.

Sorry... I'm tired today.

But I'm already here.

Shinichi told me that Ms. Mori won't write anymore.

She looked so beautiful.

- Do you know her? - Huh?

Yeah... before I became the chief editor, I was her editor.

It was hard to get her to write erotic comics.

Come here.

What is it?

I saw her comics.

Isn't it raunchy stuff?

The heroine was pushed to do the same thing I did.

All people do the same thing at night.

And they always swallow in the end, right?

Minori... come here.

Come on! Let me make you feel good.

You're gonna be 30. Are you ok just messing around with me?

Ok, so introduce me to somebody.

- Shinichi... - No boys.

What do you like?

Men... rich and kinky.

Like your best friend's husband?

Shut up! I never make the first move.

I don't need things to get complicated.

But guys ask you out, right?

Yes, like the way you did.

You make the first move. You just don't know it.

Your scent seduces men.

You make me out to be some kind of monster.

You're a trouble maker, but you take good pictures.

All I do is take pictures. But if I work hard...

I won't be a trouble maker anymore. I can become invisible.

That's my only way.

Are you worried about my wife, Takako?

I don't want her to hate me.

She always says good things about you.

I loved working with her. She taught me everything I needed to know.

Her only fault was introducing her husband to her assistant.

What's wrong?

Am I just some easy girl? I just wanna be invisible.

What's wrong?

I'm just down about that bad sex earlier.

Good night.

Let's go.

You seem well.

I'm fine. As do you, Takako.

You sounded like you were dying on the phone.

I wish you would come back to work and take care of me.

I can't, my husband doesn't want me working there.

Isn't that why you called me?

- Well… - Is this about Kushida?

He said you wished you could be invisible.

- Mr. Kushida told you that? - I know everything.

About you, and about that comic artist.

Maybe it's ok to live the way you do.

You think life's just about fun and sex and then death.

Maybe you think this sort of life works for you.

But that only works for someone invisible.

You talk, breathe and bleed.

Look in the mirror. It's time to grow up, you're not invisible.

Shit... how creepy.

Watch out for that crow, he'll peck your eyes out!

SHINICHI KASHIYAMA

Hold on a sec.

Didn't we belong to the same club in college?

These are for Shinichi. They're the pictures from the interview.

That was Midori Takano...

Do you know her?

We were in the scuba diving club in college together.

What was she like back then?

She's the kind of girl who ruins everybody's life.

The best face, huh?

Shinichi.

Did you finish your fake article?

She had a lot of romance?

It's good. This should get her to start writing.

- I'm not gonna turn it in. - Why?

Because she said she wouldn't write anymore.

She will.

You should show her the article.

To Ms. Mori?

I read it.

You said you were done writing, but we hoped that...

you might reconsider after reading the article.

Why would you write an article full of lies?

- We're going to publish it. - What do you mean?

You told our boss that you were working on something, right?

That's… not true.

Yes, you did. Or are you taking up knitting or something?

How dare you speak to me that way.

I know you're going to write. I could tell from your photo.

You should get started on something.

Otherwise…

Otherwise you'll lose...

Get out!

You have no idea what I'm going through!

- Get out! - Ms. Mori!

Get outta here!!!

Take it easy.

You should go.

I'm sorry, that was my fault.

I've never seen anyone get so mad.

I think I misunderstood you.

I just don't know...

about everything, even about myself!

Of course you don't. You're human.

If you don't mind staying out longer...

would you wanna grab some dinner?

You have a girlfriend.

I knew your girlfriend.

I know.

Did she tell you I was a bad person?

- Yes. - Anything else?

Not really.

I ruin lives?

Ah… something like that.

I slept with the boyfriends of all of the club members.

It's just her opinion.

It's not just her opinion…

It's true.

Ms. Kijima.

Good night.

You should write… otherwise…

Otherwise… you'll lose yourself.

Hey, what are you doing?

Get together.

Fine, fine.

Take the picture.

Hello?

It's Shinichi. Are you free?

It's a gift.

Are you gonna be working tonight?

Not really. I just feel uneasy without my camera.

Have a seat, my girlfriend isn't coming home tonight.

No thanks. I have to go after we talk.

The crow that hangs out by the river...

Someone should do something about that crow. It's gonna peck at someone.

My girlfriend left.

She was so mad.

Why? Because of me?

No. Because I turned in the article.

She said I betrayed the artist. She called me inhuman.

- Did you publish it? - Yep.

Why?

I thought it would get her to write. She has to!

But will she actually write?

I met with her today.

Was she mad?

She wasn't mad, but she cried.

And…

What?

She said she would start writing!

You're kidding.

That's what she said.

Really!?

It's true. She said she's got a lot of ideas.

Then why did your girlfriend leave?

She thinks we're forcing her.

Forcing her…

That's what she said about us.

Thanks, this makes me feel just great.

I'm gonna take off.

You have to talk to your girlfriend.

People are wrong about you. You're honest.

Honest?

What is honesty?

I'm a shitty person.

How did you know she would write when you only met her once?

I could tell by the look on her face in the photo.

Look.

This is the moment I captured.

- Good, right? - Yeah.

From the tough guy to the shy girl...

everyone has that thing that makes them vulnerable.

It's at that point where

they let their guard down.

A woman like Ms. Mori can't escape from that point.

So, she may have lost herself, but she may find someone important in her life.

By finding the vulnerable point, I can take good photos.

I think I know what you mean.

Even if you stumble, never give up.

I never thought that Ms. Mori had given up.

Because she had a good face.

But I'm scared sometimes…

Why?

Because there are some people who cannot be captured.

It makes me crazy. I'm so messed up.

This can't be right. It's like we're a couple.

Hey.

If you wake up and kiss me…

I might just be your girlfriend.

10… 9… 8…

7… 6…

5… 4…

3… 2… 1…

0...

MASTER OF LOVE - AGEHA MORI, STARTS A NEW SERIES!

SHINICHI

How are you today?

- Minori? - Yes?

Your fee.

Here.

SHINICHI

How about I buy you dinner?

It's Shinichi. How're the pictures?

Shit.

I don't think you wanna do it tonight.

You can't lie to me.

I have a bunch of things that need to get done.

It's Shinichi. How're the photos coming along?

Hopefully you got some good stuff. Give me a call.

Give me a call.

We need to celebrate the article.

It's Shinichi.

Are you mad because I used your camera?

I didn't want to wake you.

Please call me.

Call me.

You going to work?

Why didn't you call?

I'll come back later.

You embarrassed me.

You mean the pictures?

No... your calls, your attitude, everything!

What about the pictures? The best face, right?

How could you do such a shitty thing? You don't know anything about me.

It's wonderful…

the weather is perfect.
