"DAD'S LUNCH BOX"

"To Midori

Starting from today Dad will make your lunch ."

- Good morning. - 'Morning .

What's wrong?

Mr. Otsu .

Why're you so antsy?

I'm not antsy.

That's being antsy.

No I'm not.

I've never seen anyone so antsy.

I'm not. Get back to work.

You so are.

- See, right there. - Nope.

Let's eat lunch.

I'm so hungry. Let's eat.

Midori? Wanna go to the cafeteria?

Actually, today...

I brought a lunch box.

What a simple lunch box that is.

For some reason, my dad made it.

Your dad? That's cool.

I have a feeling it's gonna be bad .

Why?

He never cooked when, my mom was around .

- Not at all? - Never.

- Did you see him making it? - No.

Isn't that scary?

- It'll be fine. - Don't worry.

Let's eat.

It's so brown .

What's that thing there?

It might taste good .

Yeah , give it a try.

Okay.

It's black...

Here I go.

It's so salty.

- You can have my sausage. - Here. Mine, too.

Thanks. I'm okay.

You like sausage, right?

Is it salty?

Yep...

It looks salty.

My stomach feels weird .

I bet it was that big lunch .

Maybe I ate too much.

But why'd your dad start cooking now?

Well, see you tomorrow.

- Okay, bye. - bye.

I'm home.

Dad ...

What is this?

What do you mean? Did you like it?

That's not the point. It's embarrassing.

What is?

Everything about it.

How did it taste?

It's all frozen food anyways.

That's not true. I made the omelet.

Oh, really? I sure didn't see any omelet.

But you ate it all.

What could I do?

You don't have to make lunch anymore.

No, I'm doing this.

Then at least make it good .

Midori .

How to shred cabbage...

I get it.

Ow!

Oh, I messed up.

I told you I don't need lunch.

I'll leave your lunch here.

I'm off.

Let's eat.

It's thick.

That is so thick.

And tasteless.

I'm back.

"That's nowhere near shredded!"

What's today's lunch?

I wonder.

All black...

Black!

Black, for sure.

No time!

Let's eat.

What in the world ...

What is this?

He probably had no time.

Yeah , I bet. Right?

You know, he must be busy in the morning.

So he made a quick dish .

Fried noodles. . . and bonito flakes.

There's no...

...Ingredients.

"Three side dishes would be nice."

What happened?

Well, actually. . . I started making lunch for my daughter.

What? You're making lunch!?

That's impressive.

Well, yeah. But...

What sort of meals are you making?

- Wanna see? - Sure I do.

Actually, forget it.

C'mon , show me.

It's nothing.

Wow, looks terrible.

You know...

There's little time in the morning and ...

I understand .

I can't make it good .

It's not easy.

I wonder. . . if there are any good ideas.

For a side dish?

Yeah , that too. But also...

Something easy and that tastes good.

Appearance is important, too. These don't even look appetizing.

Appearance. . . What can be impressive...

I know, Mr. Otsu! Sashimi! Raw cut fish!

- Sashimi? - Sashimi !

That's brilliant!

Taste is guaranteed .

I bet she'll love it.

You can't go wrong.

- Hey, well done. - Good idea, right?

- I'll do that tomorrow. - Give it a try.

I'll write it down .

Hey, Midori .

Look forward to today's lunch.

Doesn't something smell?

Yeah , it reeks in here.

What is this smell?

Doesn't it smell like rotten fish?

Who is it?

Alright, that's it for today. Be sure to review your notes.

Oh my gosh!

- It stinks! - Ew!

- What is that? - Gross.

I bet she was surprised .

I'm home.

Daddy's back.

Midori , how was today's lunch?

Who ever puts raw fish in a box lunch?

Was good, right?

Dad . . . It was totally rotten.

Don't make me lunch anymore.

Man, I screwed up.

How did it go, Mr. Otsu? The sashimi lunch .

It went all wrong .

What?

She got mad at me.

Why? It's just raw fish.

That's why. She said it was rotten.

Oh, I see.

It smelled funky.

- It is summer time. - Not only that.

What's going on? Fill me in .

Mr. Otsu's making his daughter lunch now.

He made sashimi but it was rotten.

It was your idea.

You jumped at it.

Sashimi? That's ludicrous.

It did look good, though .

- Right? - But it went bad .

No kidding. What kind of meals have you been making?

You wanna take a look?

They taste okay.

No way. This is out of the question .

No?

I don't think it's that bad.

Listen. A high school girl's lunch needs to be cute.

- Cute? - Yeah, like super cutesy.

How would she feel if she's the only with this beefy lunch?

Is that how it is?

First of all, this lunch box won't do.

The lunch box?

Yeah , it looks like a huge Tupperware or something.

Where can I get one?

There are tons online.

Online?
