My Well-Organized Home (わたしのウチには、なんにもない。)

"It's finally here. I've been waiting for this day!"

Nobody!

Nobody!

Meaning... I'm home alone!

"Hello everyone".

"I'm the main character in this story - Mai".

"My hobby is cleaning, washing, and keeping things organized".

Things like the TV remote, tissues. All kinds of things...

Ah, in that case...

"Truth is, other than what's necessary for 3 meals, I love to throw away things".

"I'm the Super Throwaway Devil".

"However, that obsession with throwing things away"

"made me go too far on a number of occasions".

"I was often stopped by my family and friends".

"Everyone was saying..."

You're now a "Throwaway Freak".

"That's my nickname".

"For me, days like today are perfect for throwing things away.

No matter how much of a "Throwaway Freak" I am,

my family's eyes are always on me..."

That towel can still be used.

Huh? For what?

Just a moment!

You aren't going to throw that away, are you?

Huh? You...

You're trying to get rid of that, aren't you?

No way. I was just looking at it, that's all.

Wow, look at these curves!

Looks like I've run out of things to throw away...

I... I can't believe it, Mai-chan! Even that picture?

No, no. What are you talking about? I'd never throw this away!

Well, I still have the original copy, so it's okay to throw it away.

I'm not throwing it away!

"Well, I have to come up with better ways to throw it away".

This isn't good... I've already reached my limit.

Even though this is the perfect opportunity, I can't find anything to throw away.

Is this the end of me?

But, if I give up now, the name "Throwaway Freak" will go to waste.

Starting now... Starting now, I'll throw away one more thing!

"So, first things first: check things one by one".

"This is an important part of the process, an interaction between people and things".

"And then, when you find something to your liking..."

Let's do this.

How's your condition?

It's pretty bad.

Is there anything I can put on you?

Let's see... Even if you put something as stylish as Ajillo (Spanish dish),

unexpectedly, I think it suits me quite well, but...

How nice! Understood, you're it!

Hey, stop it!

"By talking to things this way

you can determine whether they're really necessary.

Long time no see.

Ah, you haven't been keeping in touch.

I'm sorry for not using you much these days.

Ah, but you've been treating me well.

I see... I really took a liking to you.

Just when did you forget about me? I'm worried.

Well, if that happens, it's my prerogative.

No, no, no! Please, forgive me!

No, I'm just kidding. Really, you're serious!

Yeah, just kidding. Really, you were?

"Ah... Today, I couldn't find anything to throw away"

Graduation album...

What? Are you throwing that away?

You can't throw it away. It has important memories, doesn't it?

You... You're myself from the past?!

Hey you, don't be fooled by sentimentality!

Huh?... Looking slightly older. You are...

I am you...Huuum...years later.

What? How many years later? How many was it?

You! How many times have you looked at that album?

Well, maybe once or twice when my friends came to visit.

Exactly! It's pointless to keep such things.

It's not pointless!

Hey now... We shouldn't be fighting with each other.

Eat some of this!

~~Can you remember when~~

Stop that! That's just mean. No wayyy...

This little girl!

Yeah, I'm just you from way back, auntie.

Aunt? You'll be like this someday too, you know?

No I won't... Yes, you will!

Here we go. We've come to this.

Can the participant Mai go "Beyond the K Point Junk"?

Who are you? I'm the live coverage.

Now, she's soaring in the head wind... She's high, so high. How is it?

Can she really go "Beyond the K Point"?

Yahhhh!

She did it! She finally did it!

She succeeded in going "Beyond the K Point Junk"!

She crushed the world stereotypes and appearances brilliantly!

Participant Mai finally got rid of her graduation album!

Congratulations. I did it!

Like my Senpai said, keeping a graduation album

unopened for an entire year, is an unworthy act of a "Throwaway Freak".

But, you know what? I understand how you feel.

Which is why, from now on, if I really feel the need to see it,

I'll have my friends show it to me.

Senpai...

Oh well... That's the kind of a "Throwaway Freak"

that can throw away a graduation album. They can show it to you any time.

Although I hardly believe you'll see it again.

Who are you, anyway? Why are you laughing so much?

Here lies a secret agency that studies day and night to find ways

to reduce things and live comfortably

in a society full of materialistic desires. This is NNL.

Chief, chief? What is it, Kururi-kun?

I got another report about those people who can't manage to throw things away.

What kind of report? Yes, erm...

There's a growing number of people who are bothered by the fact that

no matter how much they tidy up their room, it still seems cluttered.

Are there any good countermeasures for this?

I have no idea! As usual, you're clueless

about this, even though you're the boss.

Oh, it's just a title that was bestowed upon me, after all.

You don't have to say that kind of thing with such determination.

Anyway, let's summon him. Pokke-kun, Pokke-kun?

You called, chief?

Are there any good methods for this issue? Understood, I'll analyse it.

I got it. That's really fast!

I think that the equally spaced same color layout method

is ideal for that issue. And that is?

You have to match and arrange the colors of the interior at regular intervals.

Only that will give the impression of a well organized space.

Indeed. Reports say that

it's easy to organize things when there are about three different colors.

That's great information. Also, figures and patterns

should be eliminated as much as possible, since they're visually noisy.

Umm... I see. However, what if there's a

souvenir that was given to you.

That kind of thing is quite hard to throw away.

If that's the case, it's fine. Please, throw it away.

You sure? Certainly.

Conversely, it's unpleasant to keep those things forever.

Just... Just like that? Just like that.

Yeah, but that's your personal opinion, isn't it?

Nevertheless, a great opinion! Is that okay?

Yeah, sure. But, our research should make

more statements based on objective facts.

He's RIGHT! Wh... Why?

Chief, I think you're a little too soft on him.

Shut up, Kururi-kun! Ehhh...

Ah, Tsutomu-kun, what happened?

I'll be in bed in a little while.

Hum? Ah, Mai-chan.

You'll catch a cold. You have to sleep properly in the bed.

Hum... It's just that the floor was so clean and comfortable. Thank you.

Thanks to you, I can sleep anywhere.

No, that's not really why I'm intent on cleaning it, you know?

Hey, I've been meaning to ask you this for a while now.

Mai-chan, when did you became such a freak?

Hum, you mean a "Throwaway Freak", right? If you confuse those two terms,

the meaning will change considerably. Ah, sorry, sorry.

But, do you really want to know about that story?

What?

Hahaha. That's right!

"Not so long ago, our house was the opposite of the one we have today".

"There was a lot of useless stuff".

"It was a house with lots of junk lying around".

"Also known as... 'Filthy House'".

"And then, the creatures that nest there are..."

"But, at that time I didn't really care about that".

"Because, I was in love".

"My first boyfriend. I really loved him".

Okay, we'll both hang up when I say "1-2".

1-2...

Oh, you didn't hang up, didn't you? Ken-chan, you silly thing.

Ken-chan is so silly.

"My current 'Throwaway Freak' fase wasn't really on my mind yet".

"At that time, I kept all kinds of mementos related to him".

"That strange souvenir from him";

"Tickets for places we went together on a date";

"Lots and lots of pictures we took".

Today, I thought about Ken-chan so much that...

I wrote his name on the test answer sheet.

I even got Tadataka Ino and Ken-chan names mixed up.

Silly Mai...

Hello, Ken-cha...

"However, he suddenly broke up with me".

You know, we should break up. What? Why?

There's no particular reason...

No, no, no! Don't say no.

No, no, no. No, no, no.

No! No...

"It was all over... Everything".

Mom, grandma...

Please forgive me for my all my misdeeds.

Oh, crap!

I can't show this to anyone!

Ah! What! What! WHAT!?

What's with this freaking room!

It's been vandalized.

This looks like a murder disguised as a suicide.

Excuse me... There's been a mistake.

It's not that the room's been vandalized. It was like this from the start.

From the start? That's foolish! This is the room of a 17yo girl?

A filthy room like this?

We're very sorry... You're sorry?

Well then, should I do it for you?
