Dear Sister (ディア・シスター)

Customer Number 157, please come to Window Number 4.

Thank you for waiting. Please, have a seat.

How may I assist you today?

Rio-chan, this way! Show me the marriage agreement!

- Like this? - Yes, perfect!

We're finally here to hand in our marriage agreement! Yay!

Here it is!

A marriage agreement.

Congratulations.

She said it! Not all of you are kind enough to say that!

Thank you so much! We're so lucky!

What's wrong? You're stressed.

I am not.

I can tell by the tone of your voice, 'Fukawasawa'-san,

it changes with your mood.

It's 'Fukazawa'.

You're almost always in a bad mood.

By the way.

You're not getting married yet?

- Hello, ladies. - Hello.

Hazuki, can you leave for lunch?

- I'm going to lunch. - Bye.

Three orders of A lunch please!

Fried eggs? Of course with soy sauce.

I use ketchup, mayo, soy sauce.

Gross, all those calories?

- Is it good? - Of course.

Thank you for waiting, three A lunch sets.

- Do you have ketchup and mayonaise? - Yes.

Hello, table for two?

- Yes. - Please, anywhere you like.

- Welcome. - Hello.

Hello...ow!

I'm invited to another wedding.

- Hmm. - A friend from college. Again.

- I just went last month! - Right.

It's this wedding rush.

Everybody wants to get married while they're in their twenties.

I see...wow, this is delicious! Did you try it?

Excuse me.

Ow! What are you doing?

The owner shouldn't be ogling a specific customer, it's gross.

Did you call me gross?

Give it up already. Hazuki-chan has a boyfriend.

- It's not like I want to date her... - Hello! Welcome!

What? Tomorrow?

Right. Tomorrow. Do you have plans?

It's fine, don't worry, I'm sure Tatsuya-san has something planned for me.

- What? - Excuse me? And?

Actually a friend invited me on a trip, could you lend me some money?

It's cheap! Five days in Taiwan, just 100 thousand yen. 100 thousand yen!

It's such a steal, don't you think?

I just made a savings account and I don't have cash on hand.

I'll pay you back as soon as I get my paycheck.

Who's this friend?

Oh. Yes. You know, from my dance class.

Male? Female?

I can't tell you that...

How you spend your own money is your own business,

but I don't think it's appropriate to be borrowing money for something like this?

Also, it seems you have a boyfriend, but do you need to be going away together?

Besides, what kind of man is he?

Oh whatever. What is your problem?

I just asked to borrow a little bit of money.

Who do you think raised you?

You went to college, got a job as a civil servant,

all because I worked my butt off to support you.

You need to stop looking down on your mother!

- What's wrong? - Nothing. So about tomorrow...

Oh no. I need to go.

I have a meeting from one o'clock. We have that public event tomorrow.

Event...then how about tomorrow?

I'm at the city hall all day. Thank you!

Thank you very much.

Mom, at least lock the door.

What is this?

- Why not? - No, we can't!

Mom?

Mom? What are you doing?

- Come on, come on! - Get off me!

My sister!

Why?

I borrowed a key from your landlord!

- Give that back! - Nope!

- Give it to me! - No!

You'll kill yourself if you swallow that!

There's no way I would eat that!

You made me laugh so hard, my stomach hurts.

- Who's that guy who was here? - I don't know.

He was sitting next to me on the train, and offered to carry my bag.

When we got here he said he needed to use the restroom.

Can you believe it?

Why did you bring someone you barely know in my house?

You came back while I was getting to know him.

Unbelievable.

What have you been doing all this time, anyway?

No word for years, and then you suddenly show up at my house with a stranger.

You make a mess, and on top of that in my bed...

Are you listening to me?

I was going to eat that after I took a bath tonight!

Calm down, you just have to buy the same thing again.

Actually, it's not very good, here.

- Why now? - What do you mean?

I'm going to get married.

Really? When's the wedding.

We don't have any concrete plans yet.

You got a proposal?

What?

Well, nothing has happened yet, but I feel it coming, you know?

You don't call that, 'going to get married.'

You always manage to destroy every important event in my life.

Stop being dramatic.

I'm not being dramatic.

I'll never forget my grade school graduation.

You took scissors and chopped my hair off.

- Who did? - You did!

You cut off one of my pigtails.

- As if! - Don't you dare forget.

You drew on the back of my dress with a marker at my piano recital!

You stopped my alarm and made me late for my high school entrance exam.

In college you slept with the guy I liked, right when I was going to tell him.

You liked him? You were going to ask him out?

Anyway, it's always your fault that my life is harder than it should be.

I beg you, just to leave my getting married alone.

Yum! Did you make these pickles?

Why? You should just go to Mom's house.

You're loved, unlike me.

Me, loved? Oh, stop. Mom is only interested in you.

What? You're the one that was always got the affection.

You don't get it. Raising me was just like having a pet around.

But Mom did everything she could to give you the best life possible.

Well, I don't know if that was for your sake or hers.

I guess we were both used by her in different ways.

Oh no, I forgot something!

Please, get out!

It's not much, but this is for you!

Oh! This is 'Tsuntsukutun'!

Thank you for letting me stay!

Dear Sister

10 points. 20 points. Ugh, here comes a couple.

Oh, there's a 70, no, 75! Best score of the day!

- Your voice is too loud. - I don't care if they hear me.

Even better if they talk to me.

Maybe that's the only reason you run?

I've been pretty much nocturnal since the fourth grade, do you think

I would come running just for fitness, even if it was with my best friend?

I'm getting desperate.

Do you know how many years it's been since I've had sex?

I don't want to know.

- Anyway, what are you going to do? - About?

Misaki-chan.

I know you can't be mean to your sister,

but when she's around she always manages to mess up your life.

You need to shoo her out as soon as possible.

I know.

Thank you for the food.

Thank you for the food.

Misaki. Get up.

I'm leaving now, but make sure you move out by the end of today.

When you leave, give your key back to the landlord. Got it?

All right, got it.

Bye.

Good morning!

Can we meet after work tonight?

Sorry, I'm busy all day.

I don't care how late. Can't we just see each other a bit before tomorrow?

Sorry, not going to happen, I'm organizing that party for work too.

I'll have to listen to the Ward Director all night again.

I'm free tomorrow. Talk to you later.

Hi!

Good morning, Hachi.

It's way past noon, but good morning. Are you eating something?

Yes, a banana. Are you practicing?

Yes.

Did you get that information I needed?

Of course.

Great! Then meet me at the restaurant Appleseed, behind the Ward Center.

All right. See you later.

- Bye! - Bye!

Hard-worker at his job. Great social life.

But he's horrible to women, he's slept with at least 10 in the last three years.

- What? What a scumbag. - I know, right?

What are you writing?

Ten things I want to accomplish before I die.

- What? - There was an old movie.

I went to watch it with my sister, and we had so much fun making bucket lists.

Misaki, are you going to die?

What?

Because you're writing that.

Everyone dies someday, right?

Oh, I see.

How about you, Hachi? Is there something you want to do before you die?

Hmm, I'd like to love somebody like my life depended on it.

Me too! Don't you feel alive when you're in love?

I know right?

You guys don't know the baseball team Tigers?

Hachi? How does he look from a gay standpoint?

Isn't he handsome?

Yeah, he's good looking.

Do you think he's gay?
