Okane no Kireme ga Koi no Hajimari (Love Will Begin When Money Ends / おカネの切れ目が恋のはじまり)

The toy store was originally established in 1926...

Itagaki Jun, good looking and great at his job.

He is the ace of the Monkey Pass sales department, as he himself admits.

But he has a secret.

And that is...

You know, Jun-kun...

You really like to watch fish, don't you?

In here,

the big guys and the little guys,

they all live together as equals.

It's a nice world, isn't it?

- Jun-kun, you're so interesting. - Really?

Because not many people look at an aquarium

and think like that.

It's weird, isn't it?

But...

I love that kind of weirdness.

Thank you.

Hey, I'm hungry.

There's a restaurant I've always wanted to go to.

There are a lot of nice spots in this place.

Wanna go there?

We went to a curry shop last time.

It was delicious, wasn't it?

There's curry and pasta shop in this place.

Maybe I'll have some pasta.

So let's go there today?

Okay.

Aquarium entrance fee for one adult is 2,400 yen.

4,800 yen for the two of us.

However, if you buy an annual ticket, you can enter as many times as you want for one year for the price of two.

Companions get about 30% off.

So, the second time is 1400 yen.

After the third time, I will have saved 3100 yen.

What's more is that some restaurants in the building offer an additional 5% off.

Satomi also loves aquariums.

What a cost-effective place!

Yes, he is a very stingy saving man.

EPISODE 1

If you are poor, you will fall in love

I went to the aquarium again yesterday.

Second time this month.

Baumkuchen, for you.

Yes, here you go.

Yup, here's your Baumkuchen. Take it.

Baumkuchen cost 198 yen.

There are 15 people in the sales department, and with 8% sales tax, that's 3,207 yen.

Bento Maru's salmon costs 380 yen, that's 8.4 pieces of this!

Unbelievable.

Is this how rich people are?

My ex-girlfriend Reiko was the same.

The reason why I dated Reiko, daughter of a CEO,

was that I thought it would be best to marry someone whose family was wealthy.

I'll have this.

And...

This...

and this.

Certainly.

Aren't you ordering too much?

Because I want to eat all sorts of food, don't you?

I'll take this away.

I'll take this away.

I'll take this away.

I'll take this away.

I am now full.

Can I take this one as well?

Yes...

Why don't you just order what you can eat?

Isn't that disrespecting the meat and vegetables?

I'm going to use the restroom.

She's gone.

This time, I'm the one who has to pay the bill smartly.

Here's the bill.

That's like 100 salmon bento!

Why is the human world so unequal?

And the days of inequality are repeated again.

My boss forced me to go for drinks, and even though I don't drink, I had to split the bill.

Spending time with people I don't like,

prying into my private life, what kind of torture is that?

Here.

Your change.

I saw that you only had oolong tea and orange juice.

You only ate one grilled chicken and one fried chicken.

Organizer's discretion.

Koki-san...

You share the same name, but it's the opposite.

To overcome the 20 million retirement problem, dual income is essential! Civil servants are the best choice!

million retirement problem, dual income is essential!

Dual income, huh?

Gaki!

Thanks for yesterday.

Hello.

Hey, take a look at this.

I've been addicted to this lately.

This girl, isn't she cute?

MeiMei-chan...

Thank you for watching.

Are you on your lunch break right now?

What am I watching?

A live streaming app.

There are a lot of really cute girls here,

and we can chat with them.

And this...

is how you give them gifts.

MeiMei-chan gave a gift

MeiMei-chan, thanks for the gift. I'm so happy.

- So cute! - MeiMei-chan?

Oh, that's me, Kamoshida Meiko.

I just can't get enough of their reactions.

I just can't resist it.

- I spent 200,000 yen on this girl this month. - 200,000!?

She's like an underground idol.

If I see a girl working hard, I can't help but cheer her on.

I heard that this girl

makes 3 million a month. - 3 million a month!?

Men are live streaming, too.

Some of them are idols, and some are hosts,

and heck, there's even old men in here.

Isn't it funny that even old men are here?

That's amazing.

Yeah.

You should live stream too, Gaki.

- You'll definitely be popular. - No...

Definitely.

Excuse me.

Is it your girlfriend?

Sorry for bothering you.

Mother. Can you come home this weekend? I need to talk to you about this month's payment.

Again?

My parents live in a factory in the countryside.
