Toho, Kitty Music and TMS presents

No, I don't! I don't believe you!

I swear it! She is very sick!

Last time, you disappeared with the money

That's all in the past, dad! Help me!

Wasn't that long ago...

Look at me!

This the look of a liar, Dad? Look at me!

Look well!

That's disgusting...

Look at me!

All right! You win! Stop that!

You understand?

Doing this hurts my eyes...

Here!

But this is the last time!

If things go wrong, I don't want to know

Dad!

Filial love is born out of confidence!

Coming from you, that means nothing!

Remember that I have changed!

Yes, I certainly hope so!

Is she really sick?

I don't dare to go see Chie

What did Tetsu want?

He needed money

Chie is very sick

She's sick?

Last time, she had died!

Just tell me...

You did not give him any money!

I cannot... I did help him!

You idiot! No one gives him money!

Stop! He has changed!

You fool! He'll never change!

Another card!

I am dead...

Cheater!

Don't be foolish, sir!

You are simply fishing for an excuse!

I'm not! You took a card from behind the cat!

Hey! You guys!

Yes, what's the problem, boss?

We have a cheater. Escort him out

Who cheated?

This is getting interesting! Come on!

Get him!

HONEST HOUSE

GAMING ROOM

TETSU'S PLACE

Another drink!

I said another drink!

I heard you! I'm busy!

Be more polite!

I'm a fragile girl!

I'm sorry

Including this, you've had five glasses.

Don't worry, I have enough to pay.

Oh, that's not the problem

It's just that wine makes you stupid!

Nasty brat! Who're you to say that to me?

I have no luck serving these men.

I'll die among these rats

I'm such an unhappy girl!

And you look like an unhappy cat!

Eat, that's for you!

Chie! You forgot your homework again, right?

For the fifth time!

Go on! Say it! Say it!

Only idiots forget to do their homework!

Oh, is she an idiot?

Naturally, she takes after her father!

You're hilarious!

It's so stupid that her mother left!

Hey, that's enough!

- Why are you holding that? - Oh, Masaru!

Do not worry, calm down!

She wouldn't dare!

Really?

Masaru?

Silence!

Do you want another?

- Murderer! - She is insane!

Nasty brats! Annoying me!

I work, I don't have time for homework!

My little one, I'll leave this here.

Thanks.

Wait a minute!

Don't shout like that, you frightened me!

I'm the one who's afraid! This is missing 400 yen!

400 yen? That's not possible!

Two sakes and thirteen skewers. 400 yen!

You saw wrong. I only ate five!

What's this then?

I saw you stash these!

Then prove that I ate those!

Prove it?

You can't, huh? Well then...

without proof, you can do nothing!

Yes, but I can!

Who're you?

The owner of this diner!

Known as Tetsu 뱓he killer?

But most of the time, I kill for justice!

Excuse me! I'll never start trouble again!

Good. That was easy!

Did I strike fear into you?

My change?

Here's your change!

You want more?

He's crazy!

Idiot...

You've finally been useful, Tetsu!

I am always useful...

and call me 밺ad?

Act like one then!

What do you want?

The money you stole from grandpa!

I don't know what you're talking about...

What about now?

You're wrong, Chie! Dad knew I was lying!

Granny told me!

Grandma? She's insane! She already has a foot in the grave!

Care to repeat some of that?

Mom! You are here! Mom!

You look great!

You sicken me!

Oh! Dad help me!

Sorry, I can't do anything

Chie!

Don't look at me, you're an adult!

Here comes her special!

Still taking advantage of your father!

You told him Chie was sick!

Before you said that she was dead!

What kind of parent says that?

Did it slip your memory?

Since when do dead people get sick?

This is for the diner.

This is profit.

This is what we owe granny.

I'll save the rest!

Do you hear me?

Say something!

I think you understood

My moneybox is pretty full

With my father, I must put aside savings

Your daughter is too young to work evenings

but she does because her father is worthless!

Do you understand?

If I marry...

How will he cope?

Living all alone?

That worries me.

Look over there!

Oh damn!

Chie!

No Chie! Don't come here!

Go away!

You should work instead of lounging around!

My God!

Tetsu, I won!

How'd you win?

I bet on a girl and she's a girl!

You're wrong. Chie isn't a girl!

I never told anyone, but Chie is actually a boy!

Tetsu, stop that! You gotta pay!

No, you must pay me!

Stop being a sore loser, its annoying!

I'm not a sore loser!

Fine. In that case, give me proof!

Proof what?

- What? - Prove that Chie is a boy!

Right Chie, show him!

What do I show him?

Show him your little balls

My little balls?

MY BALLS?

Don't speak like that to a lady!

Chie, I am serious!

That's why you make me so ashamed

I had it! Where is it?

That's strange.

I'm certain I put it in my bag

Did I lose it?

Whatever

As long as Tetsu doesn't see it

Imagine him meeting my teacher

Tetsu wouldn't like it

'Parents Day'

I hate it!

Tetsu, what's with the fancy clothes?

It's the latest fashion

You can admire them. I will not redden

Why'd you dress like that?

Why? I opened my eyes, that's all!

Opened your eyes?

A woman! It's a woman!

I remind you, I am a family man.

I have discovered paternal love!

I have become a model father!

Be careful what you say to me.

You should arrest him. You never know.

It doesn't matter!

But I'm keeping away for awhile...

- Look! It's Tetsu! - What, Tetsu?

Chie! It's me, Chie!

I found you! You're hiding there!

How did he know?

He'll ruin everything!

Pardon, pardon me! Let me pass

Masaru's old woman!

Old woman?

Now, who has the answer?

Me!

Masaru!

It's 5/8!

Yes, very good!

Your little Masaru is very gifted!

Yes, and these exercises are too easy!

Chie, why don't you raise your hand?

Yes, Henoyama!

- That mades 11/15! - Perfect!

And the third?

Come on, Chie! Respond!

Yes, Fujiya!

That makes 4/3!

Very good! And the next?

Chie! What are you waiting for?

My God, make him disappear

Come on!

I'm so embarrassed!

Hanakuso!

7/12!

Very well. Good.

Hey, teacher! That's enough now!

Me?

Why don't you ask Chie any?

She is very unhappy!

This is favouritism!

Favouritism? But, not at all...

It's just that Chie did not raise her hand

Moron! Don't you see she knows?

She is pretending!

My daughter is very modest!

Very well. Chie can have the next.

It's your turn Chie! Happy now, eh?

Go on, Chie! Answer it super quick!

Hey, I'll take your turn!

Shut up, you!

Masaru!

Madame Kobayashi!

And they call this a school!

This is no place to concentrate!

I can't believe it!

Chie? What's wrong?

Are you proud of yourself now?

Why'd you do that?

Me? I didn't do anything.

Is she not like that because of your favouritism?

This is not the place to argue

True, I know that well

I will wait for you outside the school!

You cannot escape!

What? This is a joke, right?

It may be ok now...

but I wouldn't laugh...

As from tomorrow, you will piss blood!

Chie! I waited for you! Where'd you like to go?

I can wait for your teacher too!

But you decide when I should finish him

If you touch him, I hope you die!

Why?

I would do that for you

Do you prefer that teacher to your father?

- Yet, I came to school for you. - It was pitiful.

You don't understand me at all

I'm finished!

Everyone has seen you now!

I will never go back to that school!

Very well my daughter!

You can be like me! I hated school too!

I LOVED my school!

Sorry...

This is too complicated!

I don't understand you!

Think! Moron!

CLOSED FOR THE DAY

Chie, I understand you

but your school is too important.

You want to end up like your father?

It's fine. I can do other things

Anyway, I've got no future anymore.

And it is all Tetsu's fault

Me? It's your problem. What did I do?

You shut up!

Mama, not in front of Chie!

- Think of her education! - You dare speak of her education?

It would be better to hide you

in a corner of the kitchen!

You think I'm a cockroach?

I don't give a damn!

I put aside savings just in case

- Savings? - Wait, let me see!

Don't even think about it!

I'll think about this later, I'm going out and want to be left alone.

Mum's calling card...

On second thoughts...

I will lie down.

You seem to be full of life

It makes me happy to see you like this

I'm always full of life!

One cannot live if they don't feel alive

Yes...that is true...

Catch me!

And... your father? How is he?

Tetsu?

Yes, he hasn't changed.

Ah! He does have a moustache now!

- A moustache? - Small. Like this

It suits him

He was surprised when he saw my dress

Did he question you?

He was furious that I probably used his money for it.

Really? He hasn't changed at all!

It suits me, right?

Yes. Very well.

That figures. After all, you made it.

I had a model good. You are so lovely.

You're the only one who's ever said that!

Mum, you will teach me how to sew?

Sewing?

Yes. I want to work with my hands.

If I can sew, I will be able to live alone. If necessary.

"If necessary?" Do you want to be like me?

It's true, manual work can be a solution,

but you'll understand when you're older.

Sometimes it is necessary to be

very persevering...

but you are very intelligent.

I'm certain you'll be able to handle anything!

Omelette rolls!

Mackerel fillets too!

I know you like them.

You can do everything great!

Whereas I...

- I can only make food on skewers for the diner. - You still work at the diner...

Yes. The restaurant name even changed!

It's now called "At Chie's"!

- Why don't you eat? - I am not hungry.

I ate loads while preparing them.

Freeloader! I do that all the time!

THE SON OF GODZILLA

Does your father never suspect

that we meet?

He doesn't know. Tetsu... dad would be angry if he did!

I want to speak to him soon

It's still too early

If you return home,

he'll never change.

I'll tell you when you can return.

Soup is always so good here!

I am sorry to annoy you

with these questions...

I am a little ashamed

You are all getting along better than me

Do you really think so?

It's true that I have dad's strength

When I resist, I let nothing hold me back.

Good, Chie. Lets meet again soon.

I would love to live with you

but I cannot leave Tetsu, euh Dad

Plus it's good like this too

Yes... you are right.

So long!

I will return home soon,

so... stop saying "Tetsu" and say "Dad"!

It's strange...

I am always happy with mum...

and always so sad returning home

Why?

I'll think about this later!

Better leave it till tomorrow!

'The sun will always be shining'

Chie! Another of the same!

You received a bonus...

How you did you know?

You order the best wine!

- Shoot, exposed! - Isn't Tetsu around?

No, he still out somewhere

Too bad, we must thank him

He defended us against the Yakuzas.

Did he put up a good fight?

He showed it to them! He took down all three!

He is so strong!

It would have been even better if had been able to recover our money.

Again. I always feel ashamed when someone talks about him.

Chie, we gotta run...

I put the money here

Will Tetsu return soon?

You have truly nasty looking faces!

Filthy brat!

I own the gaming room. Tetsu has a large tab over there!

Gaming room? It's your fault he's so bad?

Do not say such silly things!

I did not invite him to play at my place!

The reputation of my club has declined since his arrival!

If Tetsu wins, he takes my money, but if he loses...

he creates a scandal by claiming that I cheat

We are honest, yet this makes us wrong

All gamblers are good-for-nothings!

Insolent brat! Hey, you guys!

Recite the policies of the club!

밫he joy of paying in cash!?

밫he customer is a brother!?

밃n honest gaming room!?

"That...

뱋ne does not leave after winning!?

How lucky Tetsu doesn't know that one!

They really are dishonest!

I mean well, but you are preventing me from working!

To wait for Tetsu here, you must order.

Do not worry, we'll take some of your dirty skewers!

What was that, "dirty skewers"?

I'll not leave here without my money.

As long as you eat, thats fine with me

Concentrate on your cookery!

They can't even sit straight...

Mr. boss, is it time for your bill?

How much?

Rounding it off, 28,000 yen!

Here, thief!

Boss! Don't pay! What about Tetsu's debt?

Keep quiet, moron!

How will I look if I have debts?

Are you guys ready to demolish Tetsu?

Yes, boss.

What do you sense, Antonio?

Is that THE Antonio?

Oh, you know the famous Antonio, also known as 'The Ox Killer'!

He is a champion!

I trust him with more than my life

I see... you are hiding a tomcat in the back.

No, I'm not hiding it.

You are afraid, eh?

- He is crazy? - A little.

That suits me fine. That Tetsu started to annoy me

You will break this tomcat as a warning!

Go on!

Antonio, kill him! Slice him open! Skewer him! Sink him!

It got me...

Antonio!

Pull yourself together!

Boss!

A doctor! Call a doctor!

Call an ambulance! Get a doctor!

Kotetsu!

His ball!

- Take him back! - Quick!

If Antonio dies, I will die too!

That was hectic... here's Tetsu!

Isn't that the owner of the club?

Yes, they came to collect your debt

- Oh yes, I have a trip to make! - Don't worry.

Antonio was seriously wounded

He was wounded?

What? You fought with him?

No way! That cat could kill a bulldog!

Not me. It was Kotetsu.

Kotetsu? Who's he?

He's out back. For making them leave you should thank him.

Of course, I will thank him personally.

Hi, I'm Tetsu.

Thank you for the helping hand.

What's this? There is nothing here but a cat!

Precisely, that's Kotetsu.

- It really beat Antonio? - Yep!

Now, he will be my official bodyguard!

Don't let it go to your head!

Holy cow! With claws like that he could save my skin!

STEEL CLAWS!

FATAL KICK!

ELECTRIC SHOCK!

DEADLY ELBOW!

DIVING FORCE!

BEWARE OF CAT!

EXPLOSIVE!

SAKE

OFFAL

Chie! Wait for us!

Don't look at me please, Chie

I got full marks in the test again!

What can I do?

You could try not telling the whole world!

Masaru, what did Chie get?

I cannot say. That would cause upset!

I warn you, I am not going straight home!

What? You are going to stay on the street?

Daily survival, don't you know?

It's what I do!

Daily survival?

Nevermind!

I'm the most advanced girl in all Japan!

Wait! Stop! I will find the answer!

Did you find it?

NIGHTCLUB EMPLOYMENT!

HOSTESS WANTED!

WAITRESS WANTED!

Too much like my current job!

SEEKING YOUNG WOMAN!

REQUESTING CHAUFFEUR!

Looking for Graduate, well-mannered, DOES NOT READ MANGAS.

I search in vain, everyday I look and find nothing.

HIRING. ANYONE EXCEPT HIM!

I just want to work for someone besides Tetsu...

But there's nothing so maybe I should give up

Little brat! Daughter of Tetsu!

Me?

It has been a long time!

Do you remember my face?

Of course!

You own the gaming room

Is this place your club?

I don't own a gaming room anymore.

I have finished with all that!

Here, look!

- An Okonomiyaki restaurant? - There too

Gambling banned!

So you really have stopped?

Yes, I had a terrible shock, truly horrible.

It's changed me.

It's true you have a very feeble air about you.

You see?

I lost my reason to live.

Anyway, enter. I offer you some okonomiyaki.

Yes, I'd love some!

That's great, I'm starving!

Don't you dare approach me!

No need to worry

He does not move any more

He doesn't move?

I swear it, go touch him

Do not fear him. He does not scratch any more.

- He is stuffed - Stuffed?

You mean Antonio died?

It was a noble death...

Was it when he fought with Kotetsu?

No

After that, he fought with a neighbourhood dog

I thought that Antonio could kill a bulldog.

Look well. He is missing a ball, you see?

Oh, that's right!

Kotetsu took it from him.

He had lost all his strength

And so a neighbourhood dog slayed him

Poor, poor Antonio!

How unhappy I was!

I cried for whole days!

Sir, the okonomiyaki...

Do not worry you about the money.

You are my guest

It caused me too much sorrow to bury him...

so I stuffed him

When I look at it,

I remember how strong he was!

Antonio loved...

okonomiyakis!

I opened this restaurant for him

But little Antonio...

he will never be able to eat my okonomiyakis'...

The okonomiyakis is completely soaked now...

An okonomiyaki and quick!

BAN ON THE YAKUZAS

That's still there?

I put it up in vain, you return anyway

Do the Yakuzas not have the right to eat okonomiyaki?

I am a customer like the others!

What? You want a smack in the nose?

The nasty faces.

You're making one already? That's lucky! I'll take it!

Impossible. This is for the little one

What? I want it, hear me?

I want it now!

Saved!

Sorry little one

They are hooligans...

It's no problem. It would be next time though!

Hey, old man, they are well salted today! Perfect!

Good, right?

I have really lost my authority

I even get pushed around by this lot

Do they come here often?

All the time

Because of them, I get no other customers

I'm looking for someone who can help fight them

Not a bodyguard...

but somebody who can make these hooligans leave!

Can I find such a person?

Perfect!

Dad!

That is definitely for me!

To earn money by beating hooligans...

It's a hobby!

Exactly, dad! Go for it!

Yes, I will!

What's wrong with you?

That old fart, he gave me a rotten okonomiyaki!

Nonsense! You were praising it as perfect!

Then why does my belly ache?

How should I know?

What? Now you've annoyed me!

I'll demolish this restaurant!

Do we have a problem?

Hi! Tetsu!

I do not know you, you cretin!

He overdid it a little, no?

A little...

Good, so shall I start?

Start what?

To beat these hooligans into a pulp!

Species of bully! They are all the same!

Don't return, it would be dangerous for you!

Yes ma'am, thanks for saving us!

Is that sound coming from your stomach? Want me to call a doctor?

Yes, I feel very sick...

That was for me!

Yotsuya, Akasaka, K?imachi and the elegant Ochanomizu...

You know, dad got a job.

I know, your grandmother told me.

And you are the one who found it for him?

I know the boss.

He's really nice.

And how are things between him and your father?

They get along very well

Oh, how wonderful...

Although I cannot imagine your father preparing okonomiyakis!

No, he's the restaurant's guardian

Over here ma'am!

Hello and thanks again.

What a surpise, you work here now?

We gain a little money from the festival.

Can I offer you some caramel?

What? Cretin!

Forgive me, Chef, Forgive me!

You know these people?

I defended them against Tetsu

I'll come by again later

I want to see other things

Agreed. But there is a debt and we promise to return it!

I'll prepare a special one!

Idiot! You should be ashamed!

With Tetsu, you're bound to have friends like that!

Sir!

Excuse us, sir. Are you okay?

There's a bump, but it doesn't look serious

It's not broken, so it's fine

Say, you look well prepared today!

It's nice, huh? My mum made it for me!

Excuse me. I am Chie's mother.

That's your mother?

She is Tetsu's...

Her?

Mum is beautiful, huh?

I wanted to ask why you left in the middle of the night

It's important you don't tell Tetsu we were together!

Tetsu does not know?

If he finds out, he'll make a fuss over it

Agreed. I won't say anything to him

Thanks!

You should not speak about it...

It's no problem...

This is the owner of the restaurant, Tetsu's boss!

Please, excuse me sir!

I am grateful for what you have done for him

I thank you for giving Tetsu a chance

Think nothing of it

It is I who should thank you for Tetsu's help

By the way, what were you doing with that rock?

I had almost forgotten!

You still say "Tetsu" instead of "dad"!

I said "Tetsu"?

So what is the rock for?

I wanted to kill that miserable dog!

Kill the dog?

When I saw it, I immediately thought of Antonio...

Goddamnit! Where did it go?

I will burst it's head open!

It's him!

It's in a poor state...

He is being punished!

He became so proud after beating Antonio!

What could have done that to a bulldog?

There's Mitsuru!

He will tell me what happened!

Mitsuru!

She is always full of life

She is vibrant and charming

It is because she is a girl

I have a girl the same age as Chie

I do not like to speak about it, but...

five years ago, my wife left.

And she took her along.

I had lived recklessly for too long a time

You have a chance...

You can always see her

Since she left, I have not received a single word

I do not want to criticise anyone.

But I believe that it is better

that children live with their parents

I believe that too.

Listen to this!

The dog barked at some filthy guy, who then attacked it!

He even bit it before knocking it out!

That is quite a distubing thing to do but I am content!

At last, Antonio is finally avenged!

Nevertheless, to bite a dog...

He must be insane...

He's more animal than man!

There is no dog that can frighten me!

He bit me twice, but I got it seven times!

- Hello! - Are you well?

The losers from the restaurant!

Yes, thank you for your valuable lesson!

We saw your daughter, she looked lovely.

My daughter?

She's all dressed up, but doesn't have school.

Perhaps she has a guy.

Don't be silly!

There she is!

Quick! Hide yourselves!

Why hide?

Shut up!

Say anything, I'll kill you!

Understood!

I've come for my caramel!

It's ready!

My special caramel just for you!

It's enormous!

Come to the restaurant, I will invite you!

Thank you!

Was that not Yoshie?

Shut up! Keep quiet!

Goddamnit! I did not know!

Chie sees her mother!

She never told me... why?

Chie.

Why didn't you say...

Yet, I also, I...

I also love my daughter!

Goddammit!

Tetsu! Why don't you come back?

This'll be your fourth day away from home!

Come back!

Tetsu, answer me at least. I am unhappy alone.

No matter! You're better off without me!

I will never return!

And what about food? Are you eating at least?

Stop being so nice!

I have nothing more to say!

What could have upset him?

Chie! Come here! Quick!

I know why Tetsu is sulking

Tell me!

I believe he saw you when you were with your mother

What?

Oh no, he saw us?

I am pretty sure he did

In fact, I am almost certain he did!

Surely, and that's why he's so upset

To think, me and granny wanted them to meet now that he has a job.

The time is not right!

But my little Chie, don't worry.

In truth, every day he impatiently waits

for you to come and see him.

And furthermore I should point out...

so funny

He always looks for you out of the window

He always says that he does not want to return

but after your come, he smiles stupidly

while repeating that you like him more than her

He is so simple

He does not need much

If you say something like

밢h Tetsu, I love you so much?

He will certainly be in heaven!

Lousy bum! What a gossip!

Telling Chie what to say to me

And her, tearfully begging me to come back

Goddammit! I will not go back!

It's necessary that I return

My girl needs me to return home

Look there, Masaru!

It doesn't look like he'll break our concentration!

Hello Masaru!

Cretin!

Never ignore an adult who says hello, always respond!

But tomorrow is the school marathon!

It's important to us

The marathon?

Will Chie compete?

Yes, everyone does it every year! Didn't you know?

Every year?

How did she do last year?

You really don't know anything! She finished third

Why not first?

How could she while running in sandals?

She ran in sandals?

Good evening!

You've returned!

I felt sorry for you so I decided to return

And today, Tetsu's replacing Father Christmas! This is for you!

For me?

Of course! Open it!

Trainers!

The marathon's tomorrow, no?

Use them to run.

How did you know that?

I am your father. I know all that concerns you!

You were a cretin to run in sandals!

It makes me ashamed! Now, bring me the soap!

Soap? Why do you need it?

To put some here, you see they are new shoes

I wouldn't like you to hurt your pretty little feet

Stop, you're making me sick!

Will you win tomorrow?

I'll do it for you!

Nevertheless, I'll help my girl!

It's normal for a parent

What do you mean?

I will do my best for you too!

Oh, what's that mean?

To encourage you!

You will come and see me?

Obviously! I am not your only parent?

Only the weather worries me.

I hope it will be nice.

Go on!

We are all behind you!

Go for it!

I even brought Antonio!

Go ahead, Masaru!

You'll feel super ashamed!

Oh no, they even got a banner!

Ready?

Go!

Go on! Charge!

She runs fast!

Too fast even!

Chie, you are going too fast! Find your rhythm!

This will not work! Follow me!

You are going too fast! Slow down!

Slow down!

Wait a little for the others!

You're embarrassing me!

Find your rhythm!

Do not worry! They are too slow!

Moron, you have too much confidence!

Your start is too fast.

He's catching up! I better lose him for good!

Idiot, you are going too quickly!

It's not a race of speed! You'll kill yourself!

That's perfect!

Stop! That's my bicycle!

Chie! Wait for me!

He found a bicycle?

Do you not hear what I'm saying?

Chie, reduce your pace!

I'm fine like this!

Imbecile! You'll kill yourself!

You believe you can keep this up till the end?

Stop! Slow down !

I cannot!

Listen to what your single parent tells you!

My bicycle is ruined!

Take him away before he wakes up!

Chief, this is my friend. Please make an exception.

Out of the question!

He stole and destroyed a bicycle of the police force!

He will spend the night at the station!

Tetsu will not follow me.

Where is he now? He is late...

For once, he could eat the food that I prepared.

Kotetsu, I have a beautiful thing to show you!

Look! It's my certificate for 1st place!

I won it because Tetsu asked me too

and he wasn't even there to see it.

Where could he be?

I'm tired.

You'll catch a cold.

Excuse me, I am late

Come on, lets go!

Dad might not be in...

Dad, it's me!

- Yes! - What is he doing?

There it is! I win!

I got you all! I win!

Oh, it's you?

My teacher is with me!

The teacher that encourages favouritism?

Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Hanai.

Examine this photo

What is it?

Look here!

That's me!

It's you?

It is a class photograph taken 25 years ago.

Dad, why are you not with the others?

I don't know!

I was punished for a prank I didn't do!

- I'm ashamed! - I know.

What? How do you know about that?

Come to reopen my old wounds?

Not at all. Look well at the teacher in this photo

That's, Mr. Hanai!

Exactly. And I am also called Hanai...

you mean Mr Hanai's your father?

That's right. I'm Wataru, his son!

Something wrong, dad?

I didn't really think about it, but...

When I told my father about your visit to school.

He remembered you!

Really? Did you tell him what I did?

Not all of it, just that pinched my cheeks

What?

It's important that I never run into him again!

In fact, he'll be joining us soon!

What?

He's coming?

Good evening! Is Tetsu here?

Tetsu! You insane fool! Come here!

He looks very angry!

Tell him that I'm not here!

Is that you, Chie? How you have grown!

Hello, sir!

Where are you, Tetsu? Speak!

Yes, of course, calm down, Mr Hanai!

Clearly, I must speak to you about a cretin gambler

who's wife has left him! Yet continues to gamble!

Yes, sir.

Sort yourself out, idiot!

Your father knows my family well...

That's normal for the one who arranged your parents marriage

"Arranged the marriage", what's that mean?

It's because of me that Tetsu married Yoshie.

I think that's horrible!

I have just seen Yoshie in tears!

She said that she wants to live with Chie.

This is all your fault!

I am sorry...

Do you not want to live with Yoshie?

Above all, do not lie me!

Yes, but...

He is very angry.

I am sure that you call for Yoshi in your sleep!

Is that not right? Answer! Idiot!

Very well... it's decided!

Mr Hanai...

Silence! Our conversation has concluded!

Yoshie!

What are you waiting for? Yoshie has returned home!

Go and welcome her!

Excuse me.

I didn't mean to cause you problems.

Go on, bow your head! Apologise!

Excuse me.

That is perfect!

Yoshie and parents, come!

Let us all raise a toast!

See? Mum has come back home!

Come eat with us, Kotetsu!

- Here's to you! - I do not drink...

This is an important day!

Drink, this will relax you!

Oh, very good!

You can be proud of your litte one!

Here, Chie! This is for you!

You deserve this more than the adults!

- For me? - Of course.

Dad, no! Chie is still just a child!

Imbecile! Leave your books for a while!

They must learn to behave as a family!

Agreed! I'll drink!

That is good!

She knows it!

She is not like Tetsu!

I do not remember at all what happened next.

Good morning. You're up?

Did you bring these with you?

Your father brought that this morning

Hanai made me bring them!

Mum, what do you think of this?

Of what?

Look at this!

Oh, that is a good question...

"That's a good question"...

Yeah, that means you don't like it

Do you not like your hairstyle anymore?

Yes, but with this large mirror, I want to try some changes.

No, I look like grandma!

I will test them all!

Imbecile!

And what do you think of this?

Coming, coming...

Oh my!

What did you do that?

I didn't know which one you'd like!

That's enough!

That is enough, Chie!

Why are you shouting? Do not like my hairstyle?

Not at all, I hate it!

More to the point, what's with all the girly games?

Perhaps I should remind you that I am a girl!

I know.

I prefer when you act less like a girl and more like a boy.

Goddammit! Why? I've had enough.

Tetsu, what's wrong?

Why not shut up? Today is magnificent.

You're going out with your family!

I am?

Take Chie to the amusement park!

Yes, please!

Dad can we go?

That is for the kids!

Not another word, idiot! You're going!

Chie! Are you ready?

I'm coming!

Congratulations!

Welcome Yoshie!

What is this?

Congratulations, Tetsu!

Hey Tetsu, they're here to see beauty and the beast!

Idiot, Is that it?

Why do you care about my marriage?

Places everyone!

Smile everyone! Get ready!

Start smiling!

HAPPY REMARRIAGE!

This silence is so boring.

I will now sing!

What?

To provide some entertainment, I will sing!

Oh mother, you came back!

Chie! Stop!

You came!

What a beautiful day!

That's good, that's enough!

This is no place to sing!

Why not? Afraid of what these strangers will think?

Attacking me?

My knowledge tells me my beautiful dream...

cannot be realised

You're gifted my little one!

Stop that! No!

This is not the day I hoped for!

What's that? Be quiet Chie!

Yoshie, say something!

Chie, stop. Your father is getting angry.

Has the wine from yesterday gone to your head?

Precisely!

Could I replace you?

I will send you some wool clothing

That's enough!

Tell her I won't go!

That's to spite her, tell her yourself!

She does not listen to me!

You don't know enough about a women's heart...

Say to me!

My beautiful lover of the north!

Slow down, dad. Wait for us!

No, Chie! I do not want to walk with you!

What has gotten into her?

Has she played similar tricks on you?

No, not with me.

You're great, dad!

YOU ARE A GOD!

RESERVED FOR CHILDREN!

Go on!

Chie, look the sea!

Look, she fell asleep. She is exhausted.

That is clear, but I was afraid to go

Don't you agree?

Why do you think she did that?

Well, I just don't know.

It is not like her to sing anywhere.

Tetsu, do you understand?

Understand what?

We are speaking, but...

If she had not sung...

What would we be like right now?

Chie acts as a counselor

To her perhaps idiotic parents

I believe...

We're so lucky to have her

I understood that much more after I left

Do you understand?

I had a dream in the train

Little drops of water fell on me from a pipe above

There were leaks all over the house...

but I was able to repair them.

Are you still asleep?

Get up!

- Rise and shine! - Leave me alone

It she there?

"Is she there?"

Your idiotic mum!

Mom already left

What? It is true? She isn't here?

Mum goes to work! You never know anything!

She works!

Mr Hanai came to pick her up for protection

This is the best wake up call!

If she works, she'll be well placed!

Why is it that, she already has a home!

Mum wants us to phone!

Perfect! The phone!

That's perfect!

If she is not here, I can have a great day!

Chie, we can celebrate!

We can never have fun with Yoshie!

What shall we do?

Hide-and-seek!

Or perhaps a little footy!

Yes, shoot! Dribble! Score!

Throw the ball!

Yeah, that's it!

I'm going to school

I am bored, Chie has turned wise.

I prefer how it was before.

Chie would slap me because I played,

but Chie and I were better off than we are now.

Tetsu, do not say such things about your family!

I wish Yoshie didn't return!

This is a life of madness!

And Chie is stuck in it too.

Here! Look at this!

Who did that to you?

Kotetsu!

Oh, you fought with him?

My Antonio was so strong, yet he took one of his balls!

I had forgotten?

He plays the nice cat in front of Chie, but when she leaves

he transforms into a monster!

I threw a bowl at him and...

he threw a table at my head!

Boss, a knock!

It is a customer. You never changed the sign!

Come back later! We're closed!

Who is it?

It's the ghost of Antonio!

It's not Antonio's ghost! It has two balls!

- What is it then? - I do not know

Is it possible?

DAD

It's the son of Antonio!

I cannot believe it!

You are here... thank you!

Are you joking?

It is true.

Since Antonio's death, I have quit drinking.

And now? His son is here!

We must celebrate that appropriately!

You're right, Tetsu. But I might lose control of myself.

It's a celebration! It's a celebration!

You'll feel better in a little while!

Since Antonio's death, you've become a coward!

Wait! Be patient!

You'll get to see the one who killed your old man.

No, thats out of the question!

I want no more fighting!

Antonio died because I pushed him to fight. Tetsu it's my fault!

Stop! What's the matter with you?

Don't you know why Antonio died?

It's because of that cat, Kotetsu! He took his ball!

Don't you get it?

That is the reason!

That's enough. I'm starting to feel bad.

I cannot speak about this without drinking!

The poor, one testicled creature

He couldn't walk right with a missing ball

He cannot go to heaven either, he'll be turned around.

Damn! I need a drink!

You're looking like your old self again

Like when you were still with little Antonio.

My little...

Father!

He looks pretty angry!

I have got them!

I wonder if you're strong enough.

The one who killed your old man is very strong.

Strong! So strong! He can do it!

Exactly!

The family has been dishonoured!

Now, Junior. Listen to me!

You must avenge your father!

The one that took your father's ball is...

is Kotetsu!

KOTETSU!

You must defeat him!

Tetsu! Get me a drink!

You should stop. You've celebrated enough

I said bring me my drink!

Boss, you've already had two bottles. You'll go crazy!

I'm crazy? Is that what you're saying?

That what you're saying, huh?

It really is like before!

Just get my drink and follow me!

Yes, boss.

Let's go, Junior!

He's drunk, not my fault...

When's dad getting back?

Kotetsu, I'm closing.

It's a ghost!

Listen up, little brat!

The son of Antonio is here for vengence! Hear me?

His son?

Two balls?

Is it true?

If it's not a ghost, he does not frighten me!

Hide!

Good evening!

Kid! Go get your cat now!

Is that you? What happened to your face?

Silence you little brat!

Kotetsu !

You rat! Come out of your hole!

Right now!

He is afraid of Antonio Junior!

That's the son of Antonio?

Kotetsu, what will you do?

I'll come out, that'll calm him.

That is him! That bloody murderer!

You're the son of Antonio? You look like him.

You're Kotetsu? This is a joke...

You're the one that killed my father?

I did not kill your dad

I just took a ball from him

"Just a ball"? You think we can live with one ball?

I wonder what they are talking about

Your father started it!

You speak like a kitten! You sicken me!

What are you waiting for?

Give me back his ball before you die!

I don't have it

Did you eat it?

No, I buried it in the cemetery!

In the cemetery? How sympathetic.

Take me there, we can prepare for your death!

If that pleases you...

What is going on?

Follow me.

Don't stray

Junior! Hurry up and complete your mission!

Tetsu! Bring me my drink!

Coming boss, coming!

Tetsu, what are you doing? Did you tell them to fight?

Don't blame me! I didn't do anything!

I don't like cemeteries.

Me neither. Why'd they come here?

I pray from time to time

That's because it's your fault!

What do you make of this?

Disturbing the dead! That's bad luck!

What? Where am I?

What's going on?

Are you back to normal now?

My little Chie! What do you make of this?

He didn't drink enough...

What's that? What's going on?

You came to see Antonio Junior fight Kotetsu.

What're you saying? Where is Junior and Kotetsu?

Over there. Junior is digging now

But, why?

Your father was very strong

Shut up! You put him with your litter!

Dad, I will avenge you!

I will make you proud!

From here, you'll see me

You really want to fight?

Obviously! That's what I'm here for!

No, this can't be happening.

Why are they fighting?

It was you that brought him here!

Me? No, never again!

Not my fault you got yourself drunk!

I remember! You were serving me drinks!

I knew it!

It's too late! Look!

No! Not again!

Please don't do it!

Junior! Stop!

It's my fault your father died!

Don't interfere!

Kotetsu!

I'll give you anything!

Please do not fight!

Junior's arrival has saved me from unhappiness!

Kotetsu! Don't hurt him!

I've done it!

He did it?

Did you think I was dead?

Your dad did better than that!

That's enough! Stop!

- Junior! Stop! - Don't kill him!

Is that all?

You want to continue?

Well, I am still alive.

You have beaten me.

Don't leave me!

Hold on!

You're my brave cat...

Chie, you're scaring me!

It's a hard life, but it's worth it!

I love you

HI!

HI!

THIS WILL MAKE YOU BETTER!

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU EAT!

SUKIYAKI!
