The Wallflower (ヤマトナデシコ七変化)

Kyohei, other people don't matter.

Your parents don't either.

- If you hate the "you" that is sought after by others... - Dammit.

...why don't you look for a "you" that you like?

Why is this happening to me?

Hey, isn't he handsome?

Try talking to him!

- What time do you get off work? - You're so forward.

But, doesn't he look younger than us?

How old are you? Why don't you come play with us?

Takano, go talk to the customers.

It's okay to go show them some hospitality.

It's not a big deal... You've got something good, so you should use it.

Right?

That's what we said.

If that guy doesn't come out, then we won't order.

I'll be taking your order.

Then I'll take him to go!

What sort of vulgar thing are you talking about? I'm asking what you want to drink.

Be quiet, you old hag. It's none of your business.

Old hag? Old hag? What part of me is an old hag?

You've said whatever you wanted since you came in, haven't you?

All of you should just be quiet!

Hey!

I'm so sorry...

What are you...

You're fired!

Good evening, everyone. I'm the manager of the boarding house.

Self-appointed, though.

My mama, the real manager, has left again on a journey to find me a new papa, so...

...I'm going to be the manager, starting today.

Our boarders are four college guys...

They're all really cool, so...

...they're really popular at their school too.

Here's your mail.

Good work today.

Did you see it? The special article in this month's "Monthly MoriDai"?

I wanna see!

Takano Kyohei.

He has a beautiful face, and a perfect body.

He's the strongest in a fight, rough, and has a really short temper.

He's ranked the "Number One Man I'd like to freeze in ice and look at forever."

Oda Takenaga.

He's smart, and good at academics and sports.

His family is the head of a flower arranging school, and he's the very cool heir.

He's ranked "Number One Man I'd like to peek at in the bath."

Tooyama Yukinojo.

He's as cute as a puppy...

He's ranked "Number One Man I'd like to sleep in the same bed with."

Morii Ranmaru.

He's the son and heir to the Morii Group.

He has incredible charm, and loves women.

He's ranked, "Number One Man I'd like to be tricked by."

For these four to be living together, it must be...

Paradise!

The boarding house the 4 of them live in is gorgeous.

Estimated rent is... 300,000 yen?

That's not even close.

They should've used a better picture of me.

Noi-chan... Our boarding house rent is 50,000 yen, and includes breakfast and dinner.

What? It's that cheap?

If you think it's cheap, then lend me some money.

If you don't have money, then you shouldn't get fired from your job.

And breaking the table wasn't necessary, was it?

Your boarding house is that cheap...

Don't ever come over.

I haven't said anything yet.

I can see right through your scheme.

Besides, Takenaga...

We call it a boarding house, but the landlady is friends with our parents, so it's like she's looking after us.

So, if my parents also became friends with your landlady, then...

Becoming friends with that lady is kind of difficult, though...

Hello boys.

Takeru, make sure to brush your teeth before going to bed.

Yeah. You make sure to eat breakfast too, Mama.

Where are you going, Obachan?

I found love in Dubai. He's a great man.

Again?

Don't keep abandoning your son at home and running off.

What're we gonna do for food?

Food, food, food.

There are great men here too, you know.

Could you love me more than him?

Could you take me to expensive restaurants 365 days a year?

Could you take me on overseas trips 365 days a year?

Could you get me a new outfit to wear 365 days a year?

That's not love, that's money.

And you've got plenty of money of your own...

Takeru, I'll get a rich father for you and come home, okay?

Don't go overboard.

Quit talking like you're the only one who matters.

Also, I've decided to quit running the boarding house.

So, the four of you will have to leave within a week, okay?

No way...

So?

What are the conditions to stay? This is you we're talking about, so...

...you had to have some ulterior motive for saying that.

My condition, to be frank, is to make my niece into a lady.

Niece?

She'll live there instead of me.

She grew up in Hokkaido, so she's a bit of a late bloomer.

With your powers, I want you to make her into a Yamato Nadeshiko.

Why do we have to do that?

The poor thing is so shy, she's always alone and doesn't have any friends.

Really?

I'd be so pleased that you Hikaru Genji-like gentlemen could make her a lady...

Hikaru Genji...

Takeru also wouldn't be lonely if he had a family member around.

I absolutely refuse...

If you're successful, I'll let you live there rent free until you graduate.

Of course we'll do it, Obachan.

It's decided then.

Her name is "Sunako."

Sunako-chan.

Obachan. Obachan! Is this thing broken? Hey!

Obachan?

She's just out of range.

Obachan... Huh?

What's going on?

It's here!

Over there! Look! There!

What was that just now?

Was that a girl?

Couldn't be! Girls are cuter and sexier...

It's a ghost!

There's no such things as ghosts.

Kyohei.

It's dangerous.

It's a ghost. A ghost...

Takeru.

Takeru.

Takeru...

Hey. Takeru.

Sunako-chan.

Seriously?

What do you want?

That's what I should be asking you. What's up with that girl?

It's no use asking Takeru.

There's no need to go out of our way to make her a lady.

I just thought it'd be good for Takeru to have a family member around.

Don't mess around. What're you going to do about me getting free rent, then?

That's right. We have to make her into a lady, or we'll be evicted.

You shouldn't get fired from your jobs.

Those are the people I'll be living with...

That was dumb of you, Obachan.

I knew I'd be living with men, but...

I never thought they'd be...

I... I...

I can't stand to be around such dazzling creatures!

I'll melt if I look at them more than 3 seconds...

Save me, Hiroshi-kun...

Save me, Akira-kun.

Save me, Josephine!

Having to live with such dazzling creatures...

Sunako-chan, cheer up.

Here. You liked chocolate, right?

Thank you...

Sunako-chan.

I'll protect you, Sunako-chan.

The problem is how to turn her into a lady, isn't it?

I'm scared. I'm no good with horror movie stuff...

Are you okay, Kyohei?

I'm so hungry, I can't think of anything...

That's right. I came here for Takeru.

It doesn't matter if there are dazzling creatures here...

I'll be fine if I just do the job Obachan asked me to do.

Whoa.

Those aren't the skills of a human.

Can we really eat her food?

It smells good.

Sunako-chan's a really good cook.

Delicious.

Seriously?

Yum!

The dazzling creature... is an unexpectedly good guy.

Oh, that was delicious...

Alright! Now I'm motivated.

My... What a wonderful object just lying here...

There are so many lovely objects...

Is it really okay?

I'm going to pick them up!

Capture successful.

So rough...

Huh?

I feel sorry for her that way.

Be quiet. If I make her a lady, I'll get free rent.

Then, let's get straight to it, starting with her make up...

Ranmaru, wait.

Before you do her make up, first we need to get rid of those annoying bangs, right?

- Daz... - Huh?

Dazzling!

Kyohei!

Oh crap. She's angry.

Apologize, Kyohei! Apologize!

Who...

You've gotta be kidding me. You think you can head butt me...

...you've got a lot of guts, Ugly!

We haven't seen her face.

Her looks don't matter.

She has an ugly personality.
