Algernon Ni Hanataba Wo (Flowers for Algernon / アルジャーノンに花束を)

The surgery was a success. - I became smart?

Maybe the subject is the problem-- - Don’t talk about him like he’s not a person!

Sakuto will forget soon, so it’s okay to have a fling for awhile.

That’s not it!

Her brain will atrophy...and she’ll become like a flower.

Is there a cure? - Even if a miracle happens...

What would you do if I stole Haruka away from you?

Bad! Bad!

Even though I became smart, I don’t understand Haruka’s feelings.

I...don’t want to see him suffer.

Sakuto-san! Hit it!

Home run!

Goal! Time is 53.69 seconds. No error.

That’s five seconds faster than Algernon’s time.

Sakuto-san, you did very well.

Hey, someone get that!

Got it!

Whoa, what the heck, Saku? - Can I get it?

Ah...okay, Saku, you try getting it.

Eh, is this okay, Boss?

Thank you very much. This is Dream Flower Service.

How can I help you?

Where would you like it delivered? Arakawa district, Minami community...

What would you like delivered?

Yes, we have Lily of the Valley.

Of course.

The meaning of Lily of the Valley

is “arrival of happiness.”

Thank you very much.

We have an order for Lily of the Valley.

Saku, you’re amazing!

I became smart.

I became smart, and my world changed.

The world is full of fun things I didn’t know about.

But there is one thing that hasn’t changed.

That is...

Found you, Haruka.

Hachisuka-sensei said for you to get some new things.

So come out with me for today.

Okay.

There are only happy people around me.

Haruka, this...

Sakuto-san, this looks good on you.

If I’m with that person, everything is fun.

If I’m with that person, the world looks like it's sparkling.

This feeling...

...what is it called?

Pretty...

Listen, Sakuto.

Starting today, you’ll be living here.

It’s a flower delivery shop.

Please look.

All of these flowers that are set here,

are ones someone is sending to someone else.

In other words,

all of this is someone’s love.

Love?

That’s right.

The world overflows with love.

Don’t you think so?

I, too, will always...

...love you, Sakuto.

Papa told me that the world is overflowing with love.

Caught it.

Is this feeling of mine...

...what you’d call love?

Straight flush!

You’re just cheating us again, aren’t you?

I’m not cheating you. How much have I earned so far?

Add this up! 30+30+16+...

12+16+30 is...

134. - Huh?

134 points.

Got it, Saku-chan, thanks. How much?

It’s really 134 points.

Hey, hey, it’s a coincidence.

Saku, Saku, Saku, Saku, Saku...uh...

What’s 1600 times 33?

52,800.

Correct.

Correct?

Okay, okay, okay, okay, then 41,076 divided by 72.

570.5!

Correct! - Seriously?

Is this because of the surgery?

Saku, the surgery’s effect finally appeared.

The surgery’s effect finally appeared!

Oh, you’re still reading?

Sakuto, do you understand what you’re reading?

Yes.

Then, how do you read this?

“Mouse-type Rodents.”

“Mice and two other kinds of rodent suborders

are distinguished by their jaw muscles.”

“Wa.” It’s “wa” from “wakaranai.”

Note: “Wakaranai” means “don’t know” or “don’t understand.”

Right.

Good afternoon.

Hello~

Miss… - Huh, Rio-chan?

Eh?

Don’t tell me, Rio-chan, you’re the company president’s daughter?

No way.

Yes… - Seriously?

Wow~cool!

Totally different...

Let’s go - ‘kay.

Um!

The baseball match was very fun.

Was I super cool? Like this!

Hiyama-san, you’re very nice. - Huh?

What? - How?!

When you went up to bat,

you gave Sakuto-san the chance instead, didn’t you?

Are you okay?

She got this for you.

I thought, “He’s very nice.”

Miss, we must go.

Sorry for keeping you. Excuse me.

Huh? Hey.

Hey, hey, let’s go.

Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.

The effect on the heart muscle cells is showing. - The liver cells have changed as well.

So it’s had a direct effect on the heart and liver both.

Yes, if we continue the treatment,

we could use it to treat cirrhosis of the liver or myocardial infarction.

Peanuts have lecithin in them.

Note: Lecithin is a substance found in animal and plant fat that improves brain and liver functions.

They’re good for your brain.

I'll become equals with Algernon. Here.

You should read these, too.

I don’t love Mochizuki-kun as a woman.

...use Haruka’s love...

Doctor is really bad!

Perhaps I made you misunderstand.

Misunderstand?

Yes. I’m not going to steal her away from you.

It’s fine as long as you are maturing.

Maturing...

The physicist, Dr. Stephen Hawking said it.

For people to mature, they must endure the unfairness of life.

I feel the same way.

There is certainly meaning to maturing.

Not everything in life is unfair.

There’s no meaning to the lazy who don’t improve their intelligence.

There’s no meaning...

Now you’ve acquired intelligence

and finally obtained life.

But…

...there are still a lot of things I don’t understand.

Study.

If I study, I’ll become wise?

I’ll become like Haruka and you, Doctor?

I’ll teach you all of the knowledge that I have.

Is there anything else you want? Anything you want to do?

Drive.

You want to drive a car.

A present for you.

Are you pleased with it?

Sakuto-san, you have to properly show your appreciation.

Thank you very much, Doctor.

It’s okay. I couldn't dispose of it and didn’t know what to do with it.

You mean...it was meant for your son?

Doctor...

...do you have a son?

He...passed away.

I’m sorry.

No, it’s fine.

I’d prepared it as a congratulatory gift for his university acceptance.

In the end, he couldn’t drive it even once.

You must be sad.

From now on, this car is yours.

In exchange, could you

think of me as a father?

I already have Papa.

Of course.

But I want to become another Papa

to the new, reborn you.

Another Papa?

Okay, I’ll take care of it.

Do your best on the driver’s license exam.

Haruka!

If I get my license, I want to go on a drive with Haruka.

With me?

Promise.

Okay. Do your best.

You’re joking. It’s impossible no matter how you think of it.

No, no, no, no.

Sakuto’s seriously been coming here preparing to take the driver’s test.

Really? - But he has to take the test, right?

I feel bad for him. He’ll totally fail.

You think so? Well, that’s...

What?

He’s changed a little recently.

Changed? - How should I say it...

The surgery’s effect is appearing.

Eh? - Surgery’s effect?

He’s become recklessly strong at numbers. Right?

And he’s always reading books.
