High School Girl's Friend (Jo gakusei no tomo)

'Tile'...

Last Will and Testament

'Tile-rooted house'...

'Tile'...

'Tile-rooted house'...

Why were you so late?

I left before everyone else!

It was after midnight!

Why do I need a curfew?

All your friends have them!

My friends ignore them.

Your friends are sluts!

Your eggs are done.

'Sluts'?

A high-school girl who gets home after midnight is a slut!

Then I guess I'm a slut.

Azusa! You haven't brushed your teeth!

I'll do it at school.

School isn't the place for that!

Go and brush yours. Your breath stinks!

Because you give me ulcers!

I'll be late for school!

I'm not finished talking to you!

I'm going to the store. I'll walk with you.

Sure!

Grandpa, keep out of this!

'Grandpa'?

Since when am I your grandfather?

You can't have two 'fathers' in the same house!

If someone says 'Dad', how do we know who they want?

I'll be 'Dad', and you be 'Papa.'

Yeah, 'Papa'. Or may be 'Daddy'.

'Daddy'?!

You're too old to call me 'Papa'!

'Shunichi', then. Lots of kids call their dads by their names.

Can I call you 'Genichiro'?

Azusa! I'm not finished talking to you! Hey!

See you later. 'Papa'.

We went to karaoke for a friend's birthday.

I couldn't just get up and leave.

High school is tough. You sound like a salaryman.

It's a lot of work, being in a clique.

Why do you bother, then?

Everyone does! School's hell if you're not in a group.

See you, 'Genichiro'.

'Wait one minute'...

Dad...

Can I talk to you?

Dad!

The High-School Girl's Friend

...once you're over 20...

I need money!

I want breast enlargements!

Summer is coming! I need to lose weight!

I need to do my make-up. I look awful!

Yeah, your skin's really dry.

Maybe I need some shadow.

My sister uses a great one.

I want it!

But it costs.

If only my family was so rich...

...that you couldn't open the door for piles of money!

Yeah! And money just came floating down from the ceiling!

I'm broke!

That was expensive, wasn't it?

Over ¥1,000 is expensive!

I'll do that, Dad.

What is it this time?

What do you mean?

You need money again...

Suddenly you pick up on things again.

I want to get Shiori's teeth straightened. She's a girl.

She'll need nice teeth.

With this recession, we hardly get a bonus any more.

You're lucky. You don't have to worry about the economy.

You can sit around and drink beer all day.

...and still get ¥200,000 every month!

It'll cost about ¥300,000. I was hoping you might help...

Can't afford it.

What are you going to do with all your money?

Take it to heaven.

Looks like rain.

Don't trample my flowers!

I brought you some sweet buns.

I can't seem to die.

I tried starving myself, I stayed in bed till I almost passed out.

Next thing I knew I was at the convenience store...

...eating salt-pickled eggplant!

Dad! What's the matter?

Then I thought I'd hang myself. I drank a whole bottle of whisky...

...and ended up too sick to do it.

I guess you have to be drunk already when you get the idea.

What are you talking about?

Oh, Naoko...

...suit yourself about my funeral. Here's my picture.

Stop talking about that, Dad! You're scaring me!

Then he drove me to a hotel.

You brought this?

You're so vain!

Take a picture!

A love hotel souvenir!

You're in the way!

Say 'cheese'!

One more, with Mina.

With her brand new camera!

Cheese!

By the way, don't you think Akkun is kind of 'dangerous'?

Oh, yeah, when he broke up with his girlfriend...

...he passed around dirty pictures of her!

He did?!

Yuck!

What do you expect?

'Lo?

Where are you?

Shin-Okubo? That's not far.

Come down here.

Yeah, they're all here, but that's OK. See you.

We better go.

You're going? No, stay!

Bye.

Are you really going?

You mean it?

Of course not!

This is my boyfriend...

Carp! Goldfish! Koi!

Imagine people dumping fish like that in the river!

Got a smoke?

Why do they buy fish just to dump them in the river?

Do they buy them and throw them out?

Do they throw them out and then buy them?

I don't understand it.

You shouldn't just throw things away...

See you.

Bye, Mina.

Youhavenonewmessages.

Vitamins E, B1 and B12...

Do you sell that, uh...

...'Vi' something...

Viagra?

Yeah, that's it. I'm pretty sure.

You need a prescription for that.

You do?

Here you go!

Where's you grandma today?

She died last New Year's.

Thank you!

Look at this condominium!

Three minutes from the Oedo subway...

...and a big hospital right next door!

Dad, are you listening?

Feces...

Feces... 'poop chute'...

You need to the toilet?

'Poop chute'...

What's the matter?

I guy I know's developing senior-care products.

He asked me for ideas.

A machine for the bedridden. With one touch of a button...

...it disposes of their waste.

If you has someone bedridden, wouldn't you want one?

You expect me to clean up your shit?

idiot!

I'll die before I ask you to take care of me!

You don't know that.

People go senile very quickly, you know.

I'll clean up after you, Dad.

I promise.

So let's sell this old house and buy a condo!

Mayu's late.

She's constipated again.

Here she is.

Mayu!

Eat potatoes!

Are you eating right?

I'm in big trouble. What and I going to do?

Eat fermented beans for breakfast.

'Positive. Reaction indicates pregnancy.'

'Consult a physician as soon as possible.'

So?

I can't have a baby.

Don't do that!

Why? I'm going to get rid of it.

How much will that cost?

Up two months, ¥100,000. How late are you?

Three weeks.

So you're OK.

I don't have it.

Get it from him.

He's in debt. His payments are ¥80,000 a month.

Really?

Get a job.

Oh, yuck!

You won't make that much.

So what'll you do?

Screw some old guy.

And old guy?

No beetle-brows.

Or bald guys.

Or greasers.

Or chest hair.
