Love Strikes! (2011) s01e08 Episode Script

You're the housekeeper?
What a pretty woman!
-She isn't! What are you saying?
Suddenly my Moteki is here
That is my ex co-worker Aki Doi
my younger female friend Itsuka
and a girl that's not here right now,
Natsuki - I'm drifting between them
not dating any or having sex with them but
even if it is small, there's a chance
all of them are growing a love towards me.
Listen you thief! Stop trying
to get a hold of my man, got it?
What's with your poor outfit anyway?
You're not remotely Fujimoto's type!
Shut up, grandma! Acting all sweet towards
Fuji but seeing other guys behind his back!
Chicks like you can't be satisfied
with only one guy, right?
Whatcha talking about, brat?
For an old hag you're quite rude.
Just shut up will ya?
Well, it's not as far as this already but
Nice to meet you. I'm working part-time
for Omu-Sensei, Aki Doi.
My name is Itsuka.
I'm such a big fan of Omu-Sensei so I
asked Fuji to take me along with him.
A big fan!
He went. Oh no, what shall we do?
Fuji, did I say something wrong?
What shall we do?
I have no idea.
Don't worry about it.
He's always like that, see.
Oh really, I'm relieved.
Now that you're already here,
would you help out a little?
Yes!
-Roger!
This all Kyabachu's things?
Yeah, material and stuff.
What's with him showing up
out of nowhere!
I thought I would only see Omu-Sensei
today and went with almost no make-up!
I don't look much like a woman, really!
What's all this about?
He's bringing another girl with him?
We wanted to have dinner today
at my place and he canceled it, for her?
Could it be?
That woman
I think she's in love with me but
she's really not getting it, see.
She's just some old hag isn't she?
I just played with her for the hell of it
She was like, holding hands, telling me to come
to her place because she'd cook for me.
That sounds desperate.
When I already have a woman.
She doesn't seem to get it.
It could not possibly be like that?
Aki is such a beautiful girl.
Yeah.
You think she's Omu-Sensei's girlfriend?
Why?
She seems like such a good person.
Like a housewife.
But you know, they met just recently
so I think it's nothing like that.
But she really seems to be a good cook
She's really the domestic type.
asd
I'm sure she'd make a pretty
housewife like that woman.
I wouldn't have thought I'd come here again.
Well, see, this is the building Sumi-San
took me to.
I threw it in the gutter, my virginity.
It really doesn't matter anymore,
don't worry about it! All's fine!
Really?
-Yeah, really.
You reak of dust!
-It's not me!
It's the matress.
I've never confessed to anyone myself.
Either the other would confess to me on
his own will or I'd make him confess.
But this man
This is good, so good!
Keema, Pork and this, this
what is it?
This is Green Curry.
So delicious. The mix of these three?
Perfect! So good.
Thank you.
Is it not too spicy for you, Sensei?
No, it's really good!
Oh yeah?
You're really such a good girl, Aki.
You're good at cooking and housekeeping,
you're really something I wish I could be.
That's something to master quickly,
especially when you're young, like you.
Talking about it, your skin looks
so pure! I'm somewhat jealous.
I'm already a grandma, see?
No that's not true. All the guys
like women like you, Aki. Right, Fuji?
Ah, yeah.
Don't you prefer girls that are younger?
Wait, looking at you, you're
both wearing striped shirts.
Seems like you're so in love, no?
No no, that's just by accident.
It's nothing like that, right?
Oh yes, just accidentally
So you two are dating?
I somehow felt that aura when
you two arrived by the elevator.
No, you're mistaken. We're not yet
If that's so, say it quicker!
Yeah no, we're not really dating
Saying so is rude towards your girl.
It's really different you know
Do you have a boyfriend?
No, I don't!
I wish there was a good guy around for me
somewhere. Can you introduce me to some?
Seconds please.
Sorry I didn't realize
Itsuka and Aki they're both trying
to get me, no mistake there.
In fact, with Itsuka it's really no stress.
Our hobbies match, psychologically we're close
plus she's not in need of a pretty guy to decorate herself.
If it's with Aki, I definitely have to care
for her, look after her and be cool all the time
But in terms of looks I prefer Aki and
if you ask me with whom I'd rather have
sex it would after all be
Good evening.
Welcome back.
Where's Aki?
There was some Curry left so she wanted
to bring some to Sumi-San.
I can't let that old fart have her.
Where are you going?
But -No no, you shouldn't think in
moments like this. Trust your feelings.
Follow your instincts.
Is that the way to go?
-Yeah, that's it.
Let's do it.
Let's give it a try.
Aki, what are you doing?
Fuji, she won't let me take her.
But you have lots of other
girlfriends, don't you?
What's with that face?
We're talking business right now.
Omu is starting a company and I was
trying to make Aki the financial manager.
But that outfit
I just took a shower, man.
You're getting it wrong.
You're sick man, what's wrong with you?
So yeah, let's do it, ok? Just give it
a go and it'll turn out well, i tell ya.
Ok well, give some time to think about it.
Also if you're up for the job, it'll be
easier for me to hit on you, alright?
Are you always like this, Sumi?
Always, everyone except
me is always like that.
What?
You know how many times men get
to have sex in their lifetime?
No.
-You don't know?
On year has 356 days, right?
Well I gotta I gotta go. See you.
Thanks for the curry.
Ah, just bring the pot back
when you're finished.
That's one fine ass.
Wait, what's wrong?
I've been thinking this for long but
don't you think you're being
too nice to the guys?
Like that, you'll easily get hit on.
They're gonna think you're an easy catch.
I'm not doing any of it on purpose
-Guys are fools and they'll get you wrong.
Listen.. don't be so nice towards guys.
You're a pretty girl so
Are you out of your mind?
I don't get what you're saying at all.
And you wanna know what, the way you've
been acting towards me today, it really pissed me off.
Why?
Because
Why?
Aki do you love me?
I'll never tell you.
Aki Doi.
Ain't she cute?
I'll never tell you.
The Moteki that started with Aki:
Itsuka, Natsuki, Hayashida
Lots of things have happened between us but what's
important is, I got to kiss every one of them!
Awesome! Now that I came this
far, it's time for the next step!
Stop.
You're cunning.
Ha! That's what the girls
have to say at first, eh?
What's between you and Itsuka-Chan?
What is it?
Well yeah
-Have you done it?
But you guys are dating.
Hey say so in the first place!
What was that? Fuji started kissing Aki?
Why?
What's Fuji thinking about me?
You've been on my mind the whole time.
Even though he said so to me
doesn't he love me after all?
You're mean, Fuji.
But why, why such a pretty girl?
You shouldn't be able to get her!
Why, why!? Fuji, why!!?
That hurt. What's with you?
-Sorry.
Just let it be. Let's go, ok? Let's go.
This is how it is. I'm the fool.
I always told myself Fuji would never be
popular with girls and eased my heart.
A guy like that who doesn't believe in himself
would no way be able to court a pretty woman.
A woman like me would suit better
to Fuji, I thought.
But I was wrong.
Only a pretty woman would be able to open
a hole inside me, who's not believing in herself.
You're cute!
So cute!
So cute!
Especially from this angle.
You're really cute. Let's go somewhere.
Where shall we go?
-What about Karaoke?
Nice idea.
-Nice! Let's go!
Let's have fun singing!
What happened?
With Itsuka it's like: We're more than friends.
Less than lovers.
Therefore neither of us
are talking about love or dating
it's not like that.
So don't worry about Itsuka.
This is stupid.
Itsuka-Chan's definitely in love with you.
You can tell just from looking at her.
Why don't you get it?
I well
Well I'm not getting what you're thinking either.
You just dumped me, didn't you?
I thought this from the very beginning but
you're the subordinate type, right? You can't
move on your own will, always await orders.
I have to take care of everything?
Same as when we worked at the same place.
I was the one to talk to you at first.
I set it all up according to plan for you but you wouldn't
realize it not to speak of acknowledging what I did.
That's really impossible.
No good.
Retreat! Retreat!
Run! Just run! You're gonna get killed!
That's if you would really think about
me seriously
I am sorry.
What?
-Everything is my fault. I am sorry.
What's that? You're trying to
turn things your way again?
I won't do a thing like this again so please
forgive me. I am sorry.
Fujimoto-Kun.
I am wrong, I am wrong, I am wrong at everything
What happened, Fuji?
Wait, you're going home? Why?
I'll never do that again.
What's that mean?
-Farewell.
Oh no!
I aimed to trigger his love by strongly pushing
him away once, then pulling him closer.
Instead I isolated myself.
What should I do?
Doi-San
Ah sorry, all of this must have
disrupted your work.
Sorry.
No it's
Please don't cry.
Because I get sad.
I get sad.
I better never love anyone.
And I better not fall in love with
anyone either.
If I was Aki or Itsuka myself, I wouldn't be happy
with a guy like me as my boyfriend anyways.
"Eternal Puzzle"
No good, no good. This wasn't part of the plan.
Wasn't I supposed to change?
If I ran off here, it would be the same as before.
I'm gonna face it, won't I? Aki or Itsuka,
which do I really love? I can't decide but
I'm facing them now!
Itsuka! Yes!
Aki! I won't give up!
I won't lose!
Sorry I saw you kissing. Forget about me,
do what you want.
I hate you. Please die.
I shall not seek any further.
If you get involved with other people,
it all just turns into a big hassle.
After all, I don't deserve to love anyone.
One month later.
Fujimoto? What are you doing?
I know you're there! Come out!
You never picked up your phone and hardly
send messages.
I can't get through to you so I came
all the way out here because I was worried.
Show your face, man!
Hayashida?
Yes, it's me.
Open up now.
Well, I got fat.
I can tell from looking at you.
That's why I asked why you got fat?
What are you doing?
What happened is. I quit my job.
Did nothing, stayed in my room all the time.
Sleep, wake up, eat. Sleep again, eat.
Read manga, eat.
In the end I got fat.
I'm asking what the reason for
that stress is.
What is it? It's just some girls eh?
You been dumped?
By who? Itsuka? Aki?
I got dumped by Itsuka.
Aki is
What?
I don't know!
I'm not in contact with her and
I have no idea what she's doing.
Nice to meet you. I am Omu's new
manager, Aki Doi.
Hello. Editor-in-Chief Komukai.
Muranaka, I'm the supervisor.
Nice to meet you.
Isn't that Omu-Sensei?
He's changed so much!
That's the infamous pretty manager,
the new character in the manga, Aki.
Since that new character is out, the
popularity of Kyabachu is back.
What's with these two? Are
they a couple?
If they weren't, then Omu-Sensei
wouldn't change that much, right?
A real support for her man.
A million copies were sold and they're gonna
turn the story into a drama it is said.
For real? It's thanks to that girl, eh?
If Omu didn't have that girl by his
side, he couldn't live on, really.
I'll be going to the TV station to discuss
the details of the drama version.
Even without the main actors being decided,
I get the feeling they've developed the story too far.
I'll look into that.
I probably won't come back into the office today so
Thank you.
This work has come this far is
also thanks to your efforts.
Only until recently I hated this work.
Writing was only painful to me.
To say the truth, I wanted to quit
being a mangaka as a whole.
But now, thanks to you being here, writing
has become joyful to me again.
Thank you very much.
So I feel like from now on and forever
I need you.
Would you be with me forever?
What?
Marry me!
That's why, you know, even if I wanted to
meet her, fat like this I wouldn't want to show up.
Apart from that, she's not calling me anymore anyway.
In the end, this is nothing of the
love relationship I was looking for.
