"He's like, too healthy" "He's not unhealthy enough Hardly the art school type" "He's got zero fashion sense" "This enough chives?" "Sure, but that also makes him appealing" "Not as a boyfriend" "Bet he's nice to girlfriends" "Bet he's single" "Maybe a good husband" " No girlfriend" "Nope" "Don't put milk in there!" "Sorry" "I dreamed about a "Kazamachi Dori" rice omelet last night" " From Morita" "Morita san?" "Yeah, he's getting back soon" "What's his deal, anyway?" "To me, he's just an annoying 8th year student" "Excuse me" "No, you're good" "I'll start the grill!" "It's time for the Hanamoto Lab Junior Group Retreat, meaning, a gathering of Dr. Hanamoto's fans, to begin!" "Does everybody have enough beer?" "Sorry, we need more here" "Beer?"

"Hagu's a really weird name" "Whatever" "Hey, Hagu!" "Your painting's good, really good" "Almost as good as me" "Um, Morita san" "What's your name?" "I'm Takemoto, your dorm neighbor" "Morita san, when did you get back?" "What?" "I thought you already graduated, Morita san" "What!" "I thought you'd died, Morita san..."

"Be more interested in me" "No souvenirs for you!" "It's against the law to stalk people, you know" "That's not what this is" "You may want her, but love means she has to want you back" "That's not what this is" "I told a female cop she was cute and got charged with sexual harassment, get it?"

"Good morning" "Good morning" "Um, the thing is..." "If you don't have anyone to eat lunch with, that is, if Dr. Hanamoto can't make it to lunch, would you consider having lunch with me?" "Really?" "See you at lunch in the cafeteria" "I'll save us seats See you!" "Um..." "What, what, what?" "You don't want to?" "Thank you" "Thank you" "See the bulletin board?" "It says, "Mayama, a senior in Architecture City Design" ""is late submitting his senior thesis"" "Exactly, I just can't decide" "Having to condense 4 years of education..."

"Mayama?" "Rika san?" "What a coincidence" "Let me introduce you two" "This is Harada Rika, from the design office where I work" "This is Yamada, a year behind me in art school" "From Hanamoto's Lab?" "No, Yamada san's in ceramics, so not the Lab" "Um, she's just... an acquaintance from the Hanamoto group" "Acquaintance?" "Lately, we all get together and drink at Dr. Hanamoto's, once in a while" "That's where..." "And Rika, I mean, Harada san..." "Rika?" "Studied architecture with Hanamoto san" "He introduces me to gifted students who work part-time for me" "I'm not gifted, not at all" "Mayama's in love" "I hardly feel I'm worth paying..." "You're definitely worth it" "I knew it" "I'm headed this way" "I want to check out a store that way" "Later" "See you" "I'd heard about you..." "You're Hanamoto Hagumi?" "Why don't you submit your work for a prize?" "But there's one condition..." "I'll go buy meal tickets What do you want, Hagu?" "The Stamina Lunch" "There's the girl genius" "Her?" "Up close, she's pretty cute" "Scholarship student" "Not your average student Explains her slightly suspicious look" "The girl genius is upholding our school's reputation" "Lots of pressure" "She's special" "She's an "artist"" "It's so crowded and noisy, let's go somewhere else" "I know, have you been to "Kazemachi Dori"?" "Their rice omelet's perfect Just their rice omelet" "I see, you're from Nagano" "Nagano brings to mind..." "The Matsumoto castle" "The castle keep is a national treasure" "It's a five-tiered keep so it's really imposing" "Do you know a five-tiered keep?" "Do you even know a castle keep'?" "Wait, do you even know Matsumoto castle?" "That's not right, Hagu" "Born in Nagano and you've never seen Matsumoto castle?" "Castles are great, old buildings are great, they're what men dream about" "Did you know?" "In that giant structure, there are no nails..." "Ayu..." "What?" "You know Yamada san from Ceramics?" "We're friends" "Bye, I have to go to work" "If it's all right, maybe we could have lunch again" "Meow-zaburo!" "I'm here at your call" "Red scarf, waving in the wind" "Meow-zaburo's here to rescue a shopping arcade in need of help" "Meow-zaburo is really into it today" "Something good happen?" "Something bad happen?" "Want to hear?" "No thanks, I'll pass" "Right" "What if you find my story disgusting" "Pisses me off" "It doesn't suit you to look so happy" "Looking miserable suits you, Yamada san" "You got me back good" "Harada, it's been 5 years since you vanished, leaving a huge hole in Rika's heart" "But I can't fill that hole" "Not me..." "Oops" "What, you're back?" "Yes." "You were out before so I'm back to offer a greeting" "Don't sound so formal, I'm not even your instructor" "Really?" "I teach architecture" "What's my major, then?" "I know it's not architecture" "You're right" "What brought you back home?" "Thought I'd have a solo show, to kill some time" "There's a gallery that's been after me" "Fujiwara Gallery, right?" "They told me themselves" "And after that?" "Nothing" "Still no plans to graduate?" "I'm so in love with the school and you..." "A solo show at that gallery to kill time and no plans to finish..." "Just about your speed Why don't you get serious, for once" "Are they..." "That important?" "Those fag brothers are?" "Oops, I don't have time for this I've got to go, Morita" "Mind if I stick around?" "Feel free" "I know" "A souvenir, sort of" "What is this?" "It's cute" "Oh, you're home" "I'll fix dinner, now" "We're having pasta tonight" "Today, Dr. Koda said" "I should apply to the Oslo International something or other" "The Biennale" "Did she?" "Sounds good, why don't you?" "But not my usual paintings" "Right, I guess she means no abstracts I've heard that" "They're bad?" "Abstracts aren't hot now They're not bad" "You should paint the pictures you want, however you like" "It doesn't matter if you win a prize or not" "If you like it, you keep it" "Thank you" "Brought to you by ** iasia @ mCrazy.asia **" "There she goes" "Amazing" "Sorry to call you here" "You're going to Morita's show?" "Yes, I'd like to go to the opening ls this already finished?" "No, probably not She hasn't signed it yet" "If you're going, could you take Hagu with you?" "What?" "Aren't you going?" "I'm going but I've got to stop off somewhere first" "Sure, I'm happy to..." "As long as Hagu doesn't mind" "Yamada said she's attending the opening, so take her, too" "Sure, sure, fine" "Might as well invite Mayama and have him drive" "What do you say we pick her up at home about 1 PM?" "First, I have to see how Hagu feels about all this" "So, where's Hagu today?" "Oh, well, she's taking an awful long break" "I like that painting of yours" "Your sculpture was better a week ago" "Busted, huh?" "Yep, I screwed it up I have to start over" "Once you carve, you can't fix it" "Wood sculpture's tough" "I can understand why it's not cool" "But it looks fun" "It is" "The world I could never see, no matter how I strained, unrealized dreams and longings" "I wonder how the world looks, seen through their eyes" "Hmm, it's lovely" "I think it's really lovely" "It's big" "It's hard" "It's curved" "It's fine isn't it, Luigi?" "It's more than fine, Mario" "Do you get it, Morita?" "This isn't about having fun" "Right, this is business" "Right, unfortunately, before it's art..." "Yeah, unfortunately, it's a product first" "Finish it" "You're stubborn" "Just have a normal, fun, youthful love affair" "I bet girls like you" "If you just go for it" "Hey, Takemoto" "We're having a barbecue upstairs, join us" "No, I'll pass" "No, hey Did something bad happen?" "Did something good happen?" "Come eat Honestly, it's beef, real beef" "Real beef" "It's good" "Tastes awful" "But it's good" "About this meat, you know the shopping arcade where I work" "The young boss at Suzuki Butcher's, even though the young boss is over 40, he'd been set up on a date, and he was all for it and wanted to date her, but..." "What's that paint smell?" "I knew it was meat" "It's not right, Morita san The delicate aroma of this meat..." "Mr. Cow?" "Want some?" "Sure I will, but..." "Meat, Hike meat" "Meat, I just love meat" "I'd had a bad feeling all day, that day" "Sorry" "Why are you chasing me?" "Because you ran away" "I'm running because you're chasing" "Really?" "So, what do you want?" "Um..." "You know" "So, what is it?" "Um, Yamada" "Why me?" "What are you talking about?" "I doubt I'll change" "Um, it'll be much easier if you find another guy" "I think you'd better stop looking at me" "Was I dumped?" "I hurt Yamada" "After which..." "Um..." "In other words, I'm fired?" "To put it bluntly" "Because I love you?" "Forgive me if I've misunderstood" "No..." "You're not wrong" "This office is too small for that sort of thing" "I understand I think you're absolutely correct" "Thank you for understanding" "Um, is that the only reason?" "Yes" "Your work was better than any of my other workers" "I'm relieved to hear that" "I'll think up a new approach and come back" "Good bye" "After which, I got dumped" "Getting dumped, the feelings only grew stronger" "I'm talking about Yamada, here" "Hey." "Hagu, that's..." "It's cute" "Why did you start working on such a large scale?" "Honey, that's a wonderful question Do you mind if I answer?" "Compared to the size of his talent, this is nothing at all" "This isn't even relevant" "He's heading off into the world" "This is what it means to live by your art" "Morita san's like a celebrity" "He feels so far away..." "ls that a tuxedo?" "I've never seen someone wearing a tuxedo" "And he even looks good in it" "Hole-Ridden Tree" " Sold" "This is..." "I decided not to start over" "This show needed a giant piece of art to anchor it" "I didn't have time to start over" "The price is so high" "We make the art, and the gallery puts a price on it That's how this world works" "So I've done nothing wrong" "Nothing wrong" "You don't agree, do you?" "I'll take a look around" "Rika san!" "Rika!" "Oh, Hanamoto, darling You've made my day" "Thank you" "It's been way too long, way too meaningful, we're way too happy" "Mayama" "Oh, Rika san" "Mayama, these are the Fujiwara brothers They own the gallery" "They were art school classmates with Hanamoto and me" "Despite their looks, they've got great taste ls this show Morita's?" "He's been discovered by some real operators" "You're so mean!" "Hana darling, you finally caught Rika" "How many times do I have to tell you, it's never been like that" "How can you say that, Hana darling" "It's about time you forgot about Harada, Rika" "Hanamoto and I aren't involved" "No, no" "Yes, he did, he hit me!" "Everything OK?" "What?" "That's that art critic..." "We used to be like that, too" "Don't you remember?" "I forgot" "What happened!" "That man..." "That pretentious guy?" "That's Nagata Kei, the art critic" "He called the sculpture..." "Did he bad mouth it?" "He said, "lt's only big"" "That's why you hit him?" "Yeah, for that she jumped him" "What?" "Hagu did..." "Yeah, and I was trying to stop her..." "This is the legendary car I've only heard stories about!" "Nostalgic" "It took me a year of fixing it up to get it into driving shape" "Amazing!" "HEY" "Let's go to the beach" "The beach?" "The beach" "NOW?" "Yeah, now" "Yes!" "I want to go to the beach" "Yes!" "Let's go, c'mon, Hagu" "Yeah" "I want to go" "All right, let's go" "For real?" "Yes, c'mon, get in" "No, no, please don't drive, Morita san" "I'll drive, you don't have to drive" "Get in" "Morita san!" "Morita san!" "Hey, hey, Morita san, easy on the gas pedal there" "Great, great, I love this worn-out engine, I can't stand it!" "Fantastic!" "Ease up on the gas?" "Worn-out'?" "I think it may smell smoky" "Hey, Hagu, you're from Nagano?" "I always wanted to ask someone from Nagano ls it true that 40 percent of people from Nagano haven't seen the ocean?" "Forty percent sounds too high..." "Right, Takemoto?" "Don't ask me" "The ocean!" "Ocean!" "I'll scream, Takemoto" "Sounds good, Morita san You're on" "I'm the best!" "Youth is best!" "When you say the word youth, it's so totally earnest" "Perfect" "A photo of youth to look back on in old age" "The height of youthful folly" "What do we do?" "Shit, it's your fault for not really fixing it, Mayama" "You're the one that raced it too hard" "What, it's my fault?" "What are you kicking?" "Morita san" "Oh, thank god you're with them, Yamada" "Please look after Hagu You're my only hope, Yamada" "Leave it to me... she'll be fine" "You sound too scary, Dr. Hanamoto" "Mayama's boasting it'll be an easy fix in the morning" "OK, then Good night" "Pisses me off!" "Yamada, got 100 yen?" "I think you should stop, Morita san You've already spent 2,000 yen" "If you don't learn how to lose now, your life will be a series of tragedies" "Oh my, you're awfully insightful, aren't you?" "I was the only fool in love..." "Did you already tell Hagu how you feel?" "You get right to the point, don't you?" "Of course not, huh?" "Of course not, not yet" "Better get it together or you'll regret it the rest of your life" "I mean both of us" "The rest of my life..." "Sounds unbearable" "The person I love chooses to love me above all others" "That's all it takes, but I don't think it'll ever happen" "You kids think too much" "Giving up..." "How do you do that?" "Just don't give up" "That was a really good line" "I can really do that?" "Refuse to give up?" "You're really in love..." "Yamada, you get me, like nobody else" "I get you like nobody else does" "In other words," "we're the best team for getting each other" "Like peaches and cream" "Like sugar and spice, no, like two peas in a pod" "I get it, I get it" "The best in the world!" "The best team in the world!" "The best team in the universe!" "Hagu, since you came to our school..." "April, May, June, July, August, September" "It's been six months" "So fast" "It's been so fast" "Time flies like an arrow Or time is money, life is short..." "So, um..." "What I want to say..." "I'll say it" "I... feel about you..." "What is this shit!" "Because... mine's better" "Since I was a kid, I always wondered..." "Why do people draw pictures?" "Because we want to" "Because we have to draw" "That's like asking people why they live" "Quite an answer" "Straight as an arrow, no doubt" "I genuinely envy you" "I think, from the first time" "I saw your painting..." "Hear, hear" "You thought yesterday was rock bottom..." "Wrong!" "Say whatever you want" "You can't wait to lose" "Winning or losing, that's not for me" "So you don't even step into the ring, just toss in the towel" "It sure is safer" "You're up against a tough rival" "I have to agree" "How's Hagu doing?" "Haven't seen her recently" "I see" "The thing is, Hagu stopped painting" "Put simply, she's in a slump..." "Something happen at the beach?" "Gee, I don't know" "Anything between Hagu and Morita?" "Why do you suspect Hagu and Morita?" "If anybody's going to get to Hagu, it's Morita, is what I think" "Not me, huh?" "I'd be happy if it was you" "Sorry, joking" "Don't look at me like that, your misery's contagious" "Drop in on her once in a while, OK?" "Hagu, did you eat lunch?" "You OK?" "I can't... seem to manage "like always"" "You're not well" "Listen, Hagu" "If there's anything I can do..." "I'm happy to..." "Hey, part-timer!" "Yes" "Come here" "Render this as a drawing" "I want it done today, too" "Yes" "Takemoto!" "Life is so hard" "Getting right to the heavy stuff" "How's things?" "I'm on a losing streak" "I want to be happy" "I want to be happy, too" "Maybe it's time to look for a four-leaf clover" "I'd look for it, if it really exists" "Don't tell me you've never found a four-leaf clover" "What?" "I thought they were fairy tales" "Like dragons and mermaids and Bigfoot" "You've led a life so unlucky it's almost genius" "Don't say that so intently" "All right" "Everyone!" "We're all looking for four-leaf clovers" "For this miserable young man!" "Can't find any" "Can't find any but it's still fun" "It's fun to move around" "Honestly, I'm not having much fun" "I guess sulking doesn't suit me" "Say" "Is my spine crooked?" "Hard to tell" "Sold" "Rice omelet?" "No, no, not so fast" "Hey!" "Hey, Morita" "Oh, Yamada" "HEY" "What are you doing here?" "Coincidence?" "It won't shut" "Oh, look at the time Sorry, see you" "No, this way" "Mayama" "Let's go" "I never run into you, even in the dorm" "I'm busy, in my own way" "Who knows where Mayama is" "He's around Only, you never see him" "I haven't seen Yamada since the beach" "Yamada's doing her best You just don't know about it" "Huh, so everybody's doing their best without me" "Sounds a little..." "What about her?" "Who?" "Don't tell me you haven't seen Hagu, either?" "Guess I haven't" "In a word," "Hagu's in a slump" "A slump?" "Some kind of psychological shock" "Don't tell me..." "You know perfectly well" "How much of a slump?" "Worried?" "Well, you know..." "I'm worried" "I'll start out like an intern" "I'm barging in" "And if I'm useful, please let me work here" "Why?" "Please let me work here for you" "It'll end the same way I'll just..." "I don't care if you hurt me" "I won't get hurt" "You didn't give up, Mayama" "See you" "I told you to avoid abstracts this time, didn't I ?" "Why don't you take my advice?" "If you just listen to me, the Oslo International's within your reach" "But if you do what you always do, you'll never be competitive" "I know Dr. Hanamoto is well aware of that" "I've seen so many talented artists disappear through recklessness and willfulness" "Our job as instructors should be to minimize such tragedies" "At this rate, she'll be crushed, by the weight of her own talent" "At this rate, that's definitely what will happen" "Actually, I think you already know that" "Right, Hanamoto san?" "Don't chase her, Morita!" "Don't mess with her heart on a whim" "Please" "You're absolutely right about the role of instructors, but once in a while let them dream for all of us" "So irresponsible" "Hagu!" "Sorry" "That Hagu, not eating..." "Sorry" "You don't need to apologize" "I guess Dr. Koda's prediction came true" "I was hoping she could push through on sheer talent" "She's got to crawl out of this on her own" "But..." "All we can do is watch and wait" "And I..." "Was taken aback by how very little," "I could actually do for her" "Meet Morita Shinobu" "Today's the opening of his solo show..." "How's this flayer for our next Hanamoto party?" "Hey, look, that's Morita" "Morita san, Morita san!" "What on earth is this?" "Wait a minute!" "Five million yen!" "Does this price include taxes?" "Taxes?" "You tell her" "No, it's tax-exclusive" "Tax-exclusive..." "Do you have a girlfriend?" "That question's so TV" "Shall we recruit one?" "I wonder what's going to happen to us..." "Oh!" "A commercial!" "You shouldn't be on TV now, Morita" "What I can do for her..." "So, that was our "Hunk Hunter" section" "By the way, this exhibition is open all week" "Thanks, OK" "I'm sorry" "What's with that guy?" "Hey, Takemoto" "What are you doing, Morita?" "I was just being hunted by a hunter" "Hey, but what are you doing here?" "Do you know how bad Hagu is?" "Yeah" "Then why don't you do something?" "Instead of going on TV" "The person who can help Hagu now isn't Dr. Hanamoto and it isn't me," "it's you..." "I think" "There's nothing I can do, either" "There has to be something, if you think about it" "I just can't think of anything, but I know you can" "Please look out for Hagu" "Not that I'm in a position to ask you..." "That was all I could do for her, then" "Not so bad for being young" "And then I ran away, turning my back on my entire past, as though tumbling down" "Yamada!" "Tomorrow's party..." "What?" "Wow" "That's a kashira rail, right?" "Dates from the 15th century'?" "You know your stuff" "Want to try?" "I can?" "Of course not" "You're a pest, go away" "Sorry" "Before I realized, I was racing, intent only on pedaling" "And..." "I was remembering," "Morita san's irritating loud laugh," "Yamada san's face, trying not to cry" "Mayama san's surprisingly sweet voice" "Your smile" "I'll scream, Takemoto" "Sounds good, Morita san You're on" "I'm the best!" "Youth is best!" "When you say the word youth, it's so totally earnest" "Where had the sparkling sea gone?" "I can't run away" "If I run now, it erases everything, even meeting you" "Hello" "What's with the vibe in here?" "Amidst a certain sadness, let's start the Hanamoto party" "Does everyone have something to drink?" "A toast to Dr. Hanamoto's scraggly beard" "Cheers" "No, no, that's not what I meant" "So, which did you take first..." "You seem a little strange today" "I'm not strange" "You're not strange..." "Morita san" "Mayama I'm borrowing your car" "You don't mind, the car?" "I don't mind" "How about you?" "Mind your own business, and do something about that giant pickle" "Watching you... was like watching myself It was painful" "But eventually, being uncool, or being stubborn" "didn't matter anymore" "What are you doing?" "I'm sorry, Yamada" "I still can't give up on her" "Hey, you drooled" "Mayama" "I like you" "Mayama" "I really like you" "Yeah" "I love you" "Yeah" "Thanks" "So this is how it feels to burn your own work" "HOW?" "Like burning stacks of cash" "Don't worry, it's only money burning here" "Stacks of cash" "But not my work" "At some point, it stopped being my art" "Can I say something more embarrassing?"
