Love Strikes! (2011) s01e09 Episode Script

Episode 9

Even if I wanted to meet her again, fat as this
I couldn't show myself to her.
And it's only been 50 years since love relationships
have become an individual thing in Japan.
Almost everyone had been passive before that.
Love, marriage everything was set up.
Well, Aki and Itsuka, both of them
-I'm going home.
What?
It's alright, isn't it?
Just finished reading Sanshiro too.
But can't you just stay a little longer?
It's alright, Fujimoto!
Not Itsuka, not Aki never really were
in love with a lowlife as you are.
So cool down.
The girls are already realizing it.
Wait? Why was I interested in that guy at all?
Sorry I've stirred up some.
And you, just go ahead and rot
in this dirty stable by yourself.
Pigmoto Piggyo
You bastard just because you're a girl
What? You gonna hit me?
That call. Might be a girl?
Hello?
Is this Mr. Fujimoto?
Yes?
This is Omu.
What? Omu-Sensei?
I reckon you're busy yourself so let me
get straight to the point.
Ah, yes.
Aki and me will get married soon.
Marriage?
Yeah, I proposed to her today and she said yes.
She's mine now, Fuji. I ask you to
not call or text her anymore ever.
She also said she doesn't ever want
to meet scum as you are again.
I'm leaving.
Aki's getting married, what should I do?
Fujimoto, decide for yourself.
You decide by yourself.
Something impossible happened.
"I can't meet Aki with an ugly body as this"
is the thought that changed my body to as it was.
I'm coming for you, Aki!
I want you to marry me.
Surprise!
I can't handle this now.
Hello?
Been a while, Aki.
Sorry for calling you so sudden.
Where are you now?
I'm at home.
What do you want?
I'm in front of your house.
You're reaking.
I know.
What are you doing in front of my house?
I wanted to talk to you a bit.
No thank you. There's nothing we
have to talk about anymore.
What's with that guy? So scary.
Has he turned into a stalker?
Aki.
What is it?
What was it you wanted to talk about?
Is there some kind of restaurant around here?
It's good enough here, please
get it over with quickly.
Aaah, her whole body is radiating in hostility.
I've never seen her like this before.
But she's really cute, after all.
Wait, now is not the right time to think
about things like that.
Well I really wanted to talk
to you but not over the phone.
But showing up at this time is
quite unreasonable, isn't it?
Not good, not good. Change plan!
Avoid justifying yourself!
Well, well.
What? Can't you hurry up a bit?
Ah yeah
Congratulations.
On what?
I just heard from Omu-Sensei.
You're gonna get married, right?
I was happy when I heard it.
Look, wasn't I the one who
created the opportunity?
But you see, I haven't met you since
that day so
in case you still have some sympathy left
for me inside you, I'd better
well it's rather I wanted to give you
a chance to really dump me here, you know?
What's this? How bad are you
trying to make me look?
No job, no skill, no future.
I hate guys that purposely betray women.
You're only happy when
you're told to die.
If you love behing hated so much then
hurry up and die!
Is something wrong?
We've received a complaint here.
Did something happen?
First, you there, you're gonna
come to the station with us.
What?
This is Honcho 1-Chome, reporting in
about the stalker case from before.
We have a man in his twenties wearing
glasses and the female victim.
Excuse me sir, the truth is
that man is not a stalker, you know?
We only had a little fight.
Is that so?
-We're sorry.
Allow me to ask then, how are you related?
Well
We're a couple.
It's late, you're disturbing the neighbours so
will you handle that inside please?
Yes. We're sorry.
Very sorry.
Let's go.
Sorry, sir.
What's with these guys?
Now they gonna do a quickie
and they're friends again.
No man, this won't be done with just
one shot. 'tis gonna last all night.
Nothing to do here anymore.
You drank it all.
Think it's bad?
No I didn't mean it that way.
Huh?
-What?
Ah. Didn't know you where smoking.
I don't smoke when I'm outside, only
when drinking or at home.
But I already smoked the time we
were working together.
Oh you did?
You really didn't notice anything
about me that time.
Are you
really gonna get married?
Won't you live together with me?
Do you love me?
Yes I will.
Marry. I will. Definitely will.
You know our lifestyles and jobs
match so perfectly together.
It's like, wow!
To be honest we have sex every day.
Honestly in that sense we're
matching perfectly, too.
That's why let's be friends from now on.
Let's become best friends.
Kanpai!
Kanpai!
Friends?
Yes.
Friends.
Don't you think being friends is like
What's with this turn of events?
I don't get it at all. But yeah, friends?
But thinking about it, I've never had the idea
that your relationship with a girl could be other
than your acquaintance or girlfriend.
Right. If we're just friends, she won't see
me as a guy anymore plus
I may not fall in love with her anymore.
So
Because we're friends she let me into her place.
Because we're friends she's showing me
this side of her personality.
Because we're friends.
"Bad-looking style of being dumped"
-Sounds so bad.
It's all alright now.
Haven't heard this song in a while.
Quruli?
You remember how in those days bands
with lead singers wearing glasses were popular?
Yeah.
First I got into those bands just for
their songs but
but after a bit I started to like them just
for having a lead singer with glasses on.
Like, Asian Kung-Fu Generation
Yeah, true.
-What were the others again?
Number Girl
Eastern Youth
Not eastern youth, no.-
No right, not them.
The other day I was wondering how long
it was since I started feeling something for you.
But it's not since very long.
Is that so?
Listen, do you remember the moment when I made
the effort and talked to you by the copier?
Yeah somewhat.
At the festival
when we were together
"I think I'm starting to fall for this guy"
I thought back then.
But well, things weren't going well with
my boyfriend at the time, either.
Aki?
You fell asleep?
Aki.
Friends What am I supposed to
do in a moment like this?
I know nothing anymore!
Wait. Wait.
Sorry.
I can't do this after all
right now.
-Why?
Because you're gonna get married?
No, I lied about the marriage.
No way. Really?
I haven't answered to his proposal yet.
So
Hang on. Wait!
I really have to pick up.
No, no, no no!
Who was it? Who invented the telephone?
Edison, Bell? Whoever it is, die! Both of you, die!
Hello?
Sumida-san?
Lost?
Looks like he suddenly stopped working
and just left.
The assistants are now searching for him.
I see.
He's not maybe at your place?
What?
No no it's nothing.
If he doesn't show up, we can't
finish the artworks.
When's the deadline?
Morning the day after tomorrow.
This is really bad.
I'll be looking for him. If you have any clue,
would you go and look for him yourself, too?
Yes I will.
What happened? Everything alright?
Omu-Sensei's disappeared.
What?
He might still be around here!
Wait!
If we don't finish this week
it's gonna be really bad.
The drama version is already announced,
the director needs the scripts.
But you see
Hey help us in searching him!
I beg you!
Everyone about me
Omu's a virgin for sure!
Are there any places he
could hide at?
He wouldn't enter anywhere
when own his own.
How about this? A manga kissa?
He said he would never enter because
of the other writer's manga.
Aki.
Excuse me.
-Yes?
Paper and pencil, please.
About before. We only went half-way but
it's alright, isn't it?
The two of us
it's alright, right?
Or are you really having feelings for Omu-Sensei?
I'm not sure.
When Omu proposed to me
I was totally surprised but
a part of me felt really happy about it.
It's been the first time I've been
proposed to by someone.
He told me that since I've become his
manager he can draw better.
The number of copies has risen,
the popularity has grown.
I can understand that the pressure
has become bigger as well
and felt like I should support him, but
if you'd ask me if I could recognize
Omu-Sensei as a man
No way that could happen.
Plus I hate that kind of manga.
It's repelling somehow.
But he's putting all his effort in it so
work-wise I want to support him
with all I've got but
right now
Fujimoto-Kun
It's alright, isn't it?
Omu-Sensei?
You've been here all the time?
Are these sketches?
May a take a look at it?
They're looking good!
I'll try to have the editing
deadline expanded.
Sumi-San, I've found him!
Yeah, it seems finished.
But it might me better if we
hired a few more assistants.
I'll try to get some more editors, yes.
Got ya. Yes. Bye bye.
Alright! Let's go back, Omu-Sensei!
Fujimoto, you're free the next
two days, right?
What?
I want you to help us on the project.
You know how to use photoshop, right?
Yeah but today is a bit
I can't really with this guy
I'd say I can use photoshop but they've
just recently released a new version and
-I can't see him working on Kyabachu.
-I'd have to go to Tsutaya first
We don't have time for this now!
Hurry up and move!
Yes!
SE-6-10?
-I'll leave it up to you.
Got ya.
I said it's wrong here.
Doi!
Make this pose!
What?
Very good! Lift your chin a bit more.
Photograph!
-Yes.
Alright Aki, look towards the camera.
I've just gave it to the messenger.
Omu-Sensei is
alright I believe.
Yes, got ya.
Bye.
Good job! Sorry I made you
work so hard.
Don't worry about it.
I was a drag in the end.
My back hurts!
It's nothing like that. You helped alot!
I'll pay you a fee for your work.
No, it's okay. Being allowed to help out in
the creation of a manga you're the biggest
fan of, that's enough pay for me.
Is that so?
But really it was awesome.
Seeing Omu-Sensei draw.
Totally awesome.
I was moved, you know.
He was so into it like: "I have nothing but this"
I don't know that feeling.
With guys it's like this:
Girls fall for them when they see
them being really into something.
It's not like that with Omu, though.
First you fall in love. Then you see him
totally immersed into what he's doing.
And you love him more.
That's why
I want you to show me that side
of yours, from now on.
Yeah.
So what are we gonna do now?
Wanna come to my place?
Shall we continue what started yesterday?
But is it alright with you?
Yeah.
So shall we clean up a bit? The room.
Yessss. It's alright now. This
is going smoothly.
My Moteki started with Aki.
Alot has happened but after all
this was all part of my fate.
Aaah, just a bit longer and that body
will become mine.
Yesss.
Natsuki Komiyama?
What happened, are you OK?
Why? Why Natsuki again?
What's with this woman?
