Mr. Osomatsu (おそ松さん)

"Cherry Blossoms"

You're late! What time do you think it is?!

Honestly, waking up so late every single day!

Sorry...

Sorry...

Sorry.

Jeez. Hurry up and eat your breakfast.

'Kay...

Wait, wait, wait.

Nope, nope, nope.

I haven't even had one yet.

I haven't, either.

The hell? Did someone eat two, then?

Come on!

Why are you looking at me? I only ate one!

Here.

As punishment, drink all of this soy sauce.

I'm telling you I didn't take it!

Come on, Karamatsu, say something!

You definitely took it.

Why?!

False accusations! That's a false accusation, sir!

Huh?

Huh?

Come on, you're in the way.

Go away.

Show some courtesy, you jerks!

Jyushimatsu!

Karamatsu-niisan!

I told you, you jerks, you're in my way!

We're heading out.

Okay, see you boys later.

I just see them off every time, but I wonder where they go.

Why?

I'm still tired.

Did you watch yesterday?

Watch what?

The show about giant creatures.

Oh, that's on tonight.

Oh, it's tonight?

It's starting to get warm again.

It's flower-viewing season.

Cherry blossoms should start blooming soon.

If we have time, going flower-viewing wouldn't be a bad idea.

Uh, we have time every day. More than we know what to do with.

True.

Todomatsu.

Todomatsu?

Hmm?

Your phone's ringing.

Oh.

Huh? It's Mom.

Yeah, hello?

Yeah.

Huh?

What?!

Akatsuka Hospital

Dad!

Dad?!

Wh-What's going on?

What happened? Hey!

Calm down, for goodness' sake.

Dad!

He's asleep!

Dad!

Stop it, all of you!

Go on. Head on home.

He'll be okay. The doctor also said he'll be better in no time.

Also, I need you to bring some towels and a change of clothes from home.

Okay? Please?

Okay.

Hey, let's go.

Todomatsu.

A Few Days Later

Looks like I've been asleep for quite a while.

It's probably time...

Dear, I have something serious to discuss with you.

What is it?

I only need one.

Could you go buy me a beer?

No.

It didn't work.

That sure startled me.

Yeah.

I really panicked.

Same here.

But thank goodness he's okay.

Yeah.

It's our fault, isn't it?

Huh?

I mean, our whole family basically depends on Dad.

It's not surprising something like this would happen.

And there's six of us. We're so pathetic.

What should we do now?

Huh?

Maybe we finally need to do things properly.

Huh?

Huh?

Well, what I'm saying is, we've sort of lazed through life.

I was just thinking, maybe it's time we did something about it.

You know, like... f-find jobs?

And, uh, become independent? Or something like that...

Wow, he actually said it.

Huh?

This sucks. I never thought he'd actually say it out loud.

Huh?

Great. Now we can't ignore it anymore.

We're gonna have to face it now.

Jesus.

Hey—

What?! Why are you guys acting like I did something wrong?

I said something decent for once!

What brought this on?

It's not like we'd just accept you suddenly trying to act

like a proper older brother.

Actually, it's sort of creepy.

Gross.

Tell me how you really feel...

Can I say something?

Huh?

Sorry to completely cut off where this conversation is going,

but to be honest, finding jobs and becoming independent sounds like a pain.

What a pain! This sucks!

I wanna run away!

I totally understand, but...

I actually have no confidence I can do any of that.

Yeah, it's just making me anxious.

Don't worry about it. It'll be easy as one, two, three.

One, two, three, A, B, C. It'll be a cinch.

Huh?

One, two, three, A, B, C...

What are you talking about?

Finding a job? Becoming independent?

It'll be easy as one, two, three, and A, B, C.

Oh, whatever. Where's that confidence coming from, anyway?

But we don't have any other choice anymore, do we?

We really don't.

We have to do things properly.

Yeah.

All right. Well, shall we?

Let's go!

All right, I accept!

Huh?

Let's be reborn, starting today.

Let's show them what we can really do...

Our awakened selves!

Let's show them, brothers!

Oh, did we not need that?

Nope, nope.
