Listen up.

Let me introduce Ichiro Kimura,

who will be studying with you, starting today.

His father had a job transfer and Ichiro moved to our school.

He came from Hakata, Kyushu.

He's a Kyushu boy.

And Kyushu boys are well known for their innocence.

Right?

In your youth, the most important thing you have is friendship.

"If you love your wife, she will be talented, beautiful, and affectionate."

"If you choose a partner, you'll get both comradery and passion."

Well, I hope you guys get along.

Mr. Kimura, say hello to your new friends.

Mr. Kimura?

- Salute your classmates. - Oh? Right.

-I'm Ichiro Kimura. - We got it already.

- Nice to meet you... - Your nickname?

Banana! Oh, no...

- What does it mean? - Banana?

Oh, well...

What's the matter? Tell us, Kyushu boy!

It means...

I can't say it out loud!

Just a minute.

Quick! I'm leaking! Come on!

Quick! I'm leaking! Come on!

Oh, man. Banana, I get it now.

- It's not like that. - Hey.

You're the one who just transferred?

- Yes. - Can I borrow you for a minute?

- What's going on? - Keep quiet.

Hurry up!

Oh, yeah. Baptism of the new student.

Damn.

You guys want to hang your balls out?

All of you against one. Do you think that makes you a man?

Who's your leader? Let's do a one-on-one fight!

Ah, Dozono.

Are you the leader? You're a fool.

- Banana! - Are you all right?

I'm not okay...

That was awful. Who is he?

- Kentaro Dozono. He's from our same class. - Kentaro?

Dozono saved your ass. Don't even think about getting back at him.

Save me? He beat me up!

Dozono rarely comes to school, they stopped because of him.

That's right.

Those other guys wouldn't stop so easily.

So, here in Tokyo, you can come to school depending on how you feel that day?

- It's not like that! - How is it, then?

- Only Dozono can do it. He's special. - How?

I don't know. I'm sure his achievements speak for themselves.

It's not like he's skipping class half the time.

- That guy studies hard. - Yeah!

Momoko, what do you think of this new kid?

Isn't he cute?

I like it.

"Banana", what could it mean?

Maybe is the way it is curved.

Might be. Maybe he has phimosis.

I don't think so. His face doesn't give me that impression.

What do you think, Momoko?

I don't really know. See you later!

Yoko.

Oh, I love it. My mom would make a fuss. Look.

That's fine, too!

- All right. - Oh, that's nasty!

Stop, you're being silly.

Hey, how's like that new student of yours?

- Banana? - That one!

- Let's tease him a little. - That could be fun.

He's a country boy. He'll surely fall for it.

"Renunciation of war and denial of the right of belligerency."

Paragraph nine: "The people of Japan

sincerely desire international peace based on justice and order."

"The threat or use of force in the exercise of national sovereignty

are forever renounced as means of settling international disputes."

That's right. Do you understand?

"I would love to hear your stories about Kyushu."

"Wait for me at 3 PM at Picolino, a coffee shop in front of the school gate."

"Momoko Kondo."

Ah, Momoko Kondo!

This doesn't affect individual Japanese citizens.

Do you understand? The entities renouncing this war...

What happened to Momoko?

He came.

But if Momoko comes, it won't look good...

- We got you, sorry! - Sorry, sorry!

That was evil. We shocked you, right?

I need to pee. I can't hold anymore!

Wait, wait! The broadcasting team is on the way.

Let me go!

Get out!

Hey, brother. Brother!

Brother, brother!

What? It's so early!

What's going on, Aiko?

Take me to a doctor.

A doctor? Why?

Where are mom and dad?

It's Sunday.

Oh, right. Sunday.

They had that big meeting

to make introductions after the job transfer.

Aiko! You...

Don't worry. You're becoming a lady.

Please, open up!

Brother!

I don't care if it's Sunday or New Year's, it's his job to take care of a patient.

Please, open up! Hurry, we need a doctor!

Come on! Open up!

Open up! I know you can hear me!

Tokyo doctors... They're going to leave the sick to die!

Murderer! Come out! Fake doctor!

- Are you worried? - Yeah, a little.

Do you think my dad is a fake doctor?

About that, it was just an accident.

I'm sorry for all my outbursts. I'm truly sorry.

- Sister. - Yes? What is it?

Yesterday, mom and dad slept without their pants.

Keita, you went to dad's room in the middle of the night again.

You've already been told you can't do that.

Don't grown-ups have to wear pants?

Maybe you were sleepwalking.

You were dreaming, weren't you? I'm sure of that.

Why is it okay to not wear pants?

Maybe it was too hot and they took it off.

So, I found a bunch of Kleenex under the bed.

They were all over the place.

Maybe they caught a cold.

They always get mad when I leave things all over the place.

Sister.

Why were they taking off their pants if they have a cold?

- That's funny. - Listen, Keita.

It was hot, so they took off their pants.

And that's why they caught a cold.

My parents are silly.

Yeah... Did you understand?

- Yes, I do. - Great.

Well, that's great.

- Bye, bye! - Bye, bye!

Aiko, how did that go?

- Brother. - What's wrong?

What? Tell me, please.

I…

What did the doctor say? Hematuria?

Is it pediatric cancer?

I...

- I have hemorrhoids! - Hemorrhoids!

Oh, well, in that case...

Aiko, I was sure it was your period.

Oh, man, that chilled me to the bone.

- We are even. - Yeah, that's right.

Well, let's solve this problem.

Let's pick someone to do it.

- Mr. Eisuke Koyama. - Here.

- Miss Chizuru Koyama. - Yes.

Then, then... Mr. Kazuo Kobayashi and Miss Momoko Kondo.

- Yes. - Thank you very much.

Do your best.

Ms. Ochiyo, what's on the menu today?

- Your favorite. - Vegetable stew once again, right?

What are you talking about? It's curry and rice.

Curry and rice, huh? That's nice.

Don't you think Momoko is getting along with the new student quite well?

Yes, but aren't they just friends?

- Maybe, maybe... - You are terrible!

I'm not kidding!

Momoko, I like "The Hidden" Kentaro more!

- You are an idiot. - Why is that?

- You know what I'm talking about. - What are you trying to say?

There's a big difference between Momoko and you.

What do you mean?

- You know what I mean. - Say it!

If you have something to say, say it!

I've only stated the truth.

Why would "The Hidden" Kentaro hate me?

I didn't say "hate".

- It's just that between Momoko and you... - Quit it.

You always bring up the same topic. What are you two thinking?

It's Hitomi's fault.
