Midori loves to eat her vegetables.

But she hates meat.

She can't help thinking about the poor cows, pigs, and chickens...

...and loses her appetite.

Mommy, I don't want meat.

You need a well-balanced diet to grow tall and smart.

One night, Midori made a wish to the starry sky.

Please, oh Star.

Take me to the Land of Vegetables!

You're home.

Hello.

How are the new veggies selling?

So-so, I guess.

Not easy, huh?

I know they taste good.

But maybe they look weird.

That's not true.

I think they're lovely.

Here.

Thanks.

Don't go using it for fertilizer.

Of course not.

I'll eat it myself.

Sure.

All I get is adverts.

There you go.

What a waste of paper.

Welcome home.

Hi, everyone.

How're you doing?

Uh, could you wait longer for this month's rent?

That's all right.

Thank you.

Can't complain.

Thanks to this system, the fertilizer made here is top grade.

If only they could do something about the smell.

Yuck!

Hey, Boss!

What is it?

It's splashing out again.

Hmm, how troublesome.

Isn't it time for an overhaul?

They don't make parts for these old machines anymore.

Oh well.

See you.

The next batch is gonna be great!

Such whining over a trifle. You won't get far.

Stepped on poo! Good for you!

Hello.

How's your writing coming along?

Deadline's near, huh?

I'm working on it.

You need to show some backbone.

Get serious.

Playing shop is fine,

but don't forget you're a scientist!

You're not, can't be, no way!

Youth isn't on your side anymore.

Old hag, old hag, stupid old hag!

I am working at it.

I wish he'd quit nagging.

No, don't freeze up on me again!

Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Moonlight Bath

That can't be a face.

Just like I thought, it's a plant.

Analysis Terminated. Breakdown Risk Encountered!

Store for Rent

This, this and those three.

Your veggies are so cheap and good.

Thank you.

I'll be back for more.

Thanks.

Thank you as always.

Hey, you!

Can I help you?

Soba, please.

That's all we have.

Take it all.

50 yen is fine.

Really? Thanks.

Leftovers, but they taste good.

Thank you.

When are you closing shop?

When everything's sold.

I'll be back again.

See you.

So hot, every day.

They talked about a typhoon, but I guess it didn't come this way.

It's so sticky and annoying, this weather.

I'm sick of even cooking.

Wish I could go on holiday somewhere. Just hang out and relax.

But who can afford it?

Shucks.

Oh, are you still eating stuff like that?

Noodles will get you through the heat, but you need energy.

I get it! You're on a new diet.

What would your parents think?

You body's your capital.

Eat properly, eat protein.

What a bother.

My food's my own business.

Are you in?

Yes.

Delivery.

Thanks.

Food!

What...

Are you all right?

There.

What is it?

That looks delicious! What is it?

It's not to eat!

Cut it out!

That looks so good.

Cute.

I want this one!

Look at this one.

Hi there.

What would you like?

They all look so scrumptious.

You stay in there.

I want this one!

No, it's not for sale!

I want it, it's mine!

Ow, that hurt!

As the two left the apartment...

Don't! Let me go.

That feels so good.

It's a snake!

Actually, it's a baby moth.

Even a scary bird would run away from a snake, wouldn't it?

That was close!

Such resemblance to another organism...

...is called mimicry.

You know, Fabre?

The world of living creatures is really full of mystery!

Wow, that surprised me!

But that's not all.

Mimicry exists among plants, too.

Yummy!

Anyone home?

Oh, there you are.

I got some extra fish.

Eat something nutritious for once. This is for you.

Hmmm. That looks delicious.

Let me have half. Thanks.

Hey!

Hey, wait!

Here we go!

No!

Come on, don't be a scrooge.

It's not to eat!

What is this commotion? You again?

Well, that looks delicious.

What is it?

That's too big to eat alone.

Hand it over.

Try getting along better with your neighbors.

How dare they!

Don't worry.

I'll keep you safe.

Going out?

Just to the post office.

See you.

Bye.

OWOWOWOWOW

Why did you break it!? Give it back!

All my research data! How could you!?

Bring it back!

That starry sky,

shining, twinkle twinkle,

shining, dazzle dazzle,

that starry sky...

Rock, paper, scissors!

Sorry.

I'll get you some noodles.

Fine weather today.

I guess so.

Damn them.

Hey, Boss. Did you see Yamamoto and Fish?

Boss, Boss!

Hey, Boss!

Aren't they taking a bath?

Thanks!

What did you do to it?

Give it back.

Uh... that's, uh...

Cut it out!

You're having too much fun!

Washroom

Hey, you! What are you doing?

Open up!

Hey!

How can you do this?

How dare you!

You know you're trespassing.

You got ears?

Stop it!

Cut it out or I'll call the cops!

And Boss, not you too?

Don't eat it! You're hurting it!

And you call yourself human?

How can you be so cruel!

Quit that chattering!

Delicious...

I see!

So that's it!

Hey!

Get away! Out of my way!

Shut up, shut up, shut up!

Not for you dummies.

I grew it myself!

Mmmm!

This is all MINE!

I said, stay away!

Get off!

I'm the king of this hill.

Look!

This is what you're made of!

Got it? You shameless mess!

Get your butts out of here!

Get out!

Out of here!

Don't you try.

Just get out of here!
