Miracle Man (奇跡の人)

But that's the thing, right...Ittaku

Hm?

It's been on my mind recently.

The world is indeed rotten right...

Actually me too. Recently I'm thinking of becoming stronger.

You thought so too? Right?

They're formidable right, humans.

Exactly.

Me too, to battle against this rotten world

I've been thinking what should I do for so long.

But Baba-chan, you're a poet right?

Well, yeah.

But see, I haven't written in nearly 9 years.

Hm.

Well I don't want to write half-assed stuffs too.

But see...

If I can't write like this

It's odd, right?

That's not a poet right?

Been on my mind for about 2 years.

I get it.

I can understand that. I totally get it.

Changing your way of thinking is important too, right?

Yes, yes.

To retreat is also a form of courage, you see.

How about you, Ittaku? How's music?

Well, I don't know...

I love music you see

but apparently music is not interested in me.

Though it took me about 10 years to realize that.

But there's compatibility.

Yeah so right now, you can say I'm still searching?

I thought of changing my name from Ittaku to Mosaku.

Kamemochi Mosaku. What do you think?

Nice.

Right?

Mosaku?

Yeah.

Sounds like literature.

Literature?

Yeah.

Oh hey, can I use the name Mosaku?

Well...I don't know what I'm gonna write yet but it'd be nice to have something like pen name.

Really?

Yeah.

I see...

Ah...if it's for you, alright.

Really?

Sure.

Thanks, Ittaku.

Welcome!

Excuse me! Give us beer for now~

Nice isn't it? Girls. They're cute.

Yes.

There's meaning in this world because girls exist, you see.

See for me...

A guy lives in order to protect girls, that's what I think.

That's the truth.

Right?

But you know, even though I love most of the girls they don't seem to love me back.

That's harsh, isn't it?

It's harsh.

Well but I guess there's someone waiting for me.

There is, there is. It's okay, alright?

I knew it, guess love's not for me.

You see, finding someone to protect

is one of the steps in the battle against the world.

Ah~

That's it! The conclusion!

As expected from you!

Let's cheers to this, again.

Sure.

Cheers!

Cheers!

As you can see up to now

this man is pretty useless.

His name is Kamemochi Ittaku.

Kamemochi's omen is good and Ittaku is a manly name

but his omen is bad.

A man who is not manly at all.

A man who hasn't accomplished anything in life.

Well, even though he hasn't done anything

his nose hair has already turned white.

Wow...it's here...a sudden crush.

Wow seriously? Look at this for a moment.

It's white, it's white. I knew it. This is bad...I'm going to...

Ah but this is pretty. Look, it's white.

Why don't you just die for now?

Wow....makes me wanna protect...

Episode 1

Miracle Man

There you are.

Whoa! Ow! Ow! Ow!

What is it? Ow! Ow!

My name is Tokura Fuuko. I'm the landlord of this apartment.

I'm sorry.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Besides this young man, Kamemochi Ittaku, there are other tenants living here.

But I'll leave that to next time.

Ah..sorry, sorry! You're scary, scary, scary~

Ow! Ow! Ow!

You're noisy! Every friggin' time!!!

You better be quiet.

So?

Huh?

So?

Think. Then answer by yourself. Don't let me tell you.

The rent?

Exactly.

Ah...thanks.

That's nice~

So what are you going to do?

What am I gonna do?

Ah..of course...

Are you leaving?

No, no, no

Then are you paying?

Um...now

A job

or money...

I don't have either.

Alright then let's do this, 'kay?

Yes, I will!

I haven't said anything, don't be naive.

Okay.

Say something funny. Anything is fine.

Do that and I'll let the rent go.

Eh?

Alright go on.

I'll work.

I knew it. There ain't any good job. This salary's so low!

Flower huh...

I still think food's better.

As you can see, he's not only useless, but also stupid.

A living creature who is stupid enough to pursue an impossible love.

I think you'll be working around this area.

This flower market operates almost 24 hours a day.

Are you okay with night shifts? The pay's...

I want daytime, please.

Really? That's bad, isn't it?

Ah~ I see.

Yes.

Thanks for yer hard work.

Huh? Can't hear you.

Thanks for you hard work!

Ah...you too.

Um...um, previously, the white nose hair...

So what?

No, I mean..uh

Please take care of me!

That's not related at all. You're in the way!

Well~ aren't they awesome, flowers?

People tend to be happier with pretty flowers around, don't they?

That girl, she's called Hana-chan.

Oh, she's Hana-chan?

She's perfect in this flower market right?

Cute, isn't she?

Oh my...

Why are you the one blushing?

But she's scary, you know. Obviously a yankee.

Makes me wonder if she's a rebel.

Excuse me, Tsurusato-san. Do you have a moment?

Again?

I'm back.

Welcome home.

That's heavy.

Anything happen with Umi?

Anything bad?

A little violent. The usual.

I see...so she did it again huh

I'm home, Umi.

I'm home.

Don't cry.

Alright, there, there.

I bought your favorite cream bun.

Here.

Ah...sorry, sorry. It's a bit too big.

Here you go.

She's cute like that.

She's cute, all the time.

Masashi

He's not coming back, is he?

He won't be back. Heartless guy. He's a fool, you see.

Well, even if he does, you and me won't forgive him anyway.

The school called again today.

They want us to bring Umi to school as soon as possible.

For her future, they said.

Future ...

It's fine, I'm taking proper care of Umi myself.

Oh! It's nice!

What will become of this child?

Stop it, Grandma.

Is there anyone like Sullivan who taught Helen Keller?

A miracle worker.

You can only find that in foreign countries.

What's wrong, Grandma? Your leg?

Just a bit...

Grandma, are you okay?
