00:00Whoa, it's Alisa!
00:03Hey, don't make eye contact!
00:06She looks scary as always.
00:12I'm Kenji Nakamura, a slightly poorer-than-average high school sophomore.
00:18At my school, there's the strongest badass gang leader feared by everyone,
00:22and that's none other than my classmate Alisa Takano.
00:27She's freaking scary.
00:29She's the unbeatable ladies boss, after all.
00:32I heard someone saw her going into an abandoned building the other day.
00:36They say she's getting rid of people she doesn't like.
00:40Even hearing rumors is scary.
00:43Well, I guess someone like me, an introvert, won't have to deal with her.
00:47One day.
00:49All right, time to study.
00:52It's noisy again today.
00:54It seems like someone moved in a week ago.
00:56But who could it be?
01:00Oh, this doesn't sound good.
01:04Wait, whaaaaat?
01:06No way!
01:08Is this kind of thing from a manga happening in real life?
01:11Wait, at this rate, she's gonna get hurt.
01:14I have to catch her!
01:18She's surprisingly light.
01:19And she smells nice.
01:21Wait, huh?
01:22I recognize this face.
01:24No way.
01:26Hey, how long are you planning to hug me like this?
01:29Put me down!
01:31Sorry.
01:33No doubt about it.
01:34It's Alisa Takano.
01:37I got so startled when I fell out of nowhere.
01:41Why did you fall from the ceiling, Takano?
01:43Or, I mean, that outfit.
01:47Hey, don't stare so much.
01:49I decided to change right after coming back from the assembly.
01:52But then I tripped on the clothes I took off and fell.
01:56So that's why the floor gave way?
01:59And not that heavy, you know.
02:02No, not at all.
02:03This apartment only costs $100 in rent, right?
02:07It can't be helped.
02:09But I'm surprised to see you living in the same apartment.
02:13Is that so?
02:15The guys at school were talking about me going into an abandoned building, right?
02:20Oh, so they were talking about this apartment.
02:24My family's pretty poor.
02:26I live alone and work part-time so I don't burden my parents.
02:30I used to live in a different apartment until a week ago.
02:34But I moved here because it's cheaper.
02:36Plus, it comes with furniture.
02:38And you?
02:40Well...
02:41Wait, the ceiling is still creaking.
02:43It's dangerous.
02:44So should we step outside?
02:47After that, we explained the situation to the landlord,
02:50who lived in the same apartment building.
02:52Since it was only a part of the ceiling that had a hole,
02:55it wouldn't collapse.
02:57Even so, we had to move to another vacant room until the repair work was finished.
03:02I never expected to share a room with Takano.
03:06Um, isn't it kind of inappropriate for a guy and a girl to live together like this?
03:11There are no other vacant rooms, so there's no helping it.
03:15Or you have a problem living with me.
03:18No, it's not like that.
03:19But Alisa, you could have asked your friends for help, right?
03:24Nope.
03:25Can't rely on them.
03:27I can only trust the ladies.
03:29Besides, a poor leader like me has no dignity.
03:32I don't want to lose my friends because of that.
03:35Hmm, is she surprisingly lonely?
03:39Alright, I get it.
03:40So let's both talk to our parents and get permission.
03:44Afterwards, we contacted our parents to explain the situation.
03:48My parents are okay with it.
03:51Mine's fine, too.
03:52Well, then.
03:54Alright, how about dinner?
03:56The landlord gave me some stuff earlier since I couldn't go back to my room,
04:00so I've got it covered.
04:04Alright, dinner's ready.
04:06It's good!
04:07You're a great cook!
04:09It's not a big deal.
04:12Wait, that band-aid.
04:13Did you hurt yourself when you fell earlier?
04:16No, actually, I don't usually cook.
04:20I made this while looking up stuff on my phone.
04:24You did this all for me?
04:26Thanks, Alisa!
04:27Don't get the wrong idea.
04:29This is just a thank you for helping me earlier,
04:31so don't think that there's any special feelings or anything.
04:35Even so, I appreciate it.
04:37You're kind.
04:39Don't call me kind!
04:41And so our cohabitation began,
04:43becoming an opportunity for me to get to know Takano better.
04:47A few days later.
04:51She seems to be in a bad mood today.
04:54Let's not get too close.
04:56Did something happen?
04:59Uh, Takano?
05:03What's wrong?
05:04Why you?
05:06You seemed a bit off,
05:08so I got worried and came to check on you.
05:10You feeling okay?
05:13I'm fine.
05:16Wait, you afraid of thunder?
05:19I ain't scared!
05:20Being scared of something like that would ruin my dignity as a leader!
05:26Uh, is it okay if I stay here with you?
05:31What?
05:32Actually, I'm afraid of thunder too.
05:35If we're together, it might help take our minds off it, right?
05:39Just do whatever you want!
05:42By the way, what kind of part-time job do you have?
05:45A convenience store job.
05:47Well, I might quit soon.
05:49Just seeing a customer scares him off, you know?
05:52And then I get in trouble.
05:54Isn't it the same at school?
05:57I see.
05:58So she wasn't glaring at people.
06:01I'm just not cut out for customer service.
06:05In that case, how about working part-time with me?
06:08I'm in the kitchen at a family restaurant,
06:10so there's no need for dealing with customers.
06:13You sure?
06:15Of course!
06:16Thanks!
06:19Her hand, surprisingly small and soft.
06:28It's okay, I'm right here.
06:30Don't think I'm scared or anything!
06:32I'm just pretending to make sure you're not scared.
06:37And a few days later…
06:42Aw, come on, don't cry.
06:46Uh, what are you doing?
06:49Huh?
06:50Do you know this kid?
06:52Man, these people are scary!
06:55Calm down, he's my classmate Kenji.
06:58S-sorry about that!
07:01Sorry, this kid seems to be lost or something.
07:04Right now our group is looking for her mom, but we can't find her.
07:09I'll help you look for her!
07:11An hour later…
07:13Phew, glad we found her mom!
07:16Her crew's all good people, ain't they?
07:19Totally!
07:20But what brought everyone to be in this group?
07:23Our crew's made up of folks who don't fit in at school or home.
07:27We don't do anything bad, swear!
07:30I'm kind of in the same boat.
07:32I picked up a few things from the former leader and ended up on Stoppable.
07:36Next thing I knew, I was a leader!
07:40Seems like a waste.
07:41You're a nice person, Takano, but no one knows.
07:45It's not a big deal, just trying to do the right thing.
07:50See?
07:50And you're all so humble!
07:52That's what's nice about you, you know?
07:55Quit it!
07:56Let's just go home already.
07:59Did I tick her off?
08:00I meant every word, though.
08:03Well, well, hey there, Alyssa!
08:07Uh, who's this?
08:10This is Charo Yabasugi.
08:13He's the little brother of a local boss from the neighboring town.
08:16Always struts around with his sidekicks.
08:19Ain't that a messed up way to put it?
08:22And what's with you hanging out with this nerd after rejecting my confession?
08:27None of your business.
08:28Let's go, Kenji.
08:31Putting a nerd over me?
08:32Get him, guys!
08:34Two against one is low, you know?
08:36If you're gonna fight, count me in!
08:41Even the strongest guys from my brother's crew with one hand!
08:45Better back off, or do you want more?
08:49This ain't over!
08:52You were stronger than I thought!
08:54Come to think of it, you caught me when I fell from the ceiling, too.
08:58It was just a coincidence.
09:01Anyway, let's head back.
09:04A few hours later.
09:06My body feels heavy for some reason.
09:09You asleep, right?
09:12Wait, Takano!
09:14All right, I can do it now.
09:17Here I go.
09:19What's she gonna do to me?
09:22So, um, thanks for helping earlier.
09:29I couldn't say it when you were awake, but you looked really cool.
09:34Her breaths are so close!
09:37My heart's racing!
09:38Can't let her know I'm awake!
09:40Hold it in, Kenji!
09:43Starting from the next day, Takano started getting closer.
09:47At home, she talked within arm's reach.
09:50Now she even started working the same part-time job, spending more time together.
09:55Phew, what a long day!
09:58Takano, you catch on quick, so it's a big help.
10:04Uh, why the dissatisfaction?
10:08We're living together, but why do you keep calling me by my last name?
10:13Huh?
10:15Call me by my first name, will ya?
10:18All right, Alisa.
10:23So?
10:24Wanna hold hands on the way back?
10:27Huh?
10:29It's not like it's got some hidden meaning!
10:31It's just dark and dangerous, right?
10:35Yeah, you're right.
10:39What's with this?
10:40Lately, we've been getting awfully close, and she's way too cute!
10:48One day, I was stopped by the landlord.
10:52Sorry for the delay in the apartment repairs.
10:54The place I contacted is booked solid, so it took a while.
10:58Oh, no, it's fine.
11:01Anyway, we finally did the inspection,
11:03and due to its age and condition, they recommend tearing it down.
11:07So we can't live here anymore?
11:10But you two are still students.
11:12I've arranged for you to stay in an apartment a friend of mine has,
11:16and you'll get the same rent.
11:19Really? You sure?
11:21Of course!
11:22Just that you and Alisa might have separate apartments.
11:26Got it. I'll let Alisa know.
11:29Afterward, I explained the situation to Alisa after she got home and changed.
11:35But that's...
11:37Wait, you okay? Not feeling good?
11:40I don't want us to be apart.
11:43Huh?
11:45Please keep living together with me!
11:48What?
11:49I mean, you can't cook,
11:51and if I leave you alone, this place will be a mess, right?
11:54I want to live together too, but...
11:58I can't do that, living together without even dating.
12:01That's just not how it works.
12:04Yeah, you're right.
12:07You probably don't want to live with someone like me.
12:11It's not like that.
12:13Sorry, I need to get some fresh air.
12:17Wait!
12:22Can't find her at all.
12:24It's dark, and she's fast.
12:27You're Kenji, right?
12:30You guys are Alisa's...
12:32Why are you here?
12:34My place is nearby.
12:36And I'm staying at her place.
12:38What about you?
12:39I gotta hide the fact that I'm living with Alisa.
12:43Actually, it's a long story.
12:46What? Then we should help search too!
12:50Really?
12:51Of course! Boss is our savior!
12:54Savior?
12:56Boss found folks like us with no place to go.
13:00Seems like she's been always alone too.
13:04Huh?
13:05Boss has that look, right?
13:08Just looking at people normally made people scared.
13:11So she was always alone.
13:13The previous leader noticed and brought her into this group.
13:16We're grateful to the boss for giving us a place to belong.
13:21I see. I've heard Alisa, she wanted to live together.
13:24And now it sounds like I've rejected her.
13:27I gotta express my feelings properly.
13:31We're coming too!
13:33Yeah.
13:3430 minutes later.
13:36There she is!
13:38Wait, wasn't this the guy...
13:40Shadow or something?
13:42Running into you here of all places.
13:45Hey, is it okay to say that?
13:48That photo!
13:50I snapped it while tailing you.
13:53If I spread this picture around,
13:54guys who have a grudge against you might go after that nerd.
13:58I let my guard down a bit last time.
14:00But if we team up against you, it won't be a big deal.
14:03Haha!
14:05Don't drag him into this!
14:07But if you become my girlfriend, I'll delete the photo.
14:13Ugh, fine.
14:15There's no need for that.
14:18Kenji!
14:19You again!
14:21Gosh, you nerd get lost!
14:24No way!
14:25We're living together!
14:27But it's just temporary, right?
14:29You probably don't want to live with me.
14:32That's not true!
14:34I like you, Alisa!
14:36What?
14:38You're the sweetest, and I'm all about your cute side.
14:41So I want to keep living with you.
14:44I like you too, Kenji!
14:46I don't want to be apart anymore.
14:49Got it!
14:50We're sticking together!
14:52Hold up!
14:53Are you saying you'd rather live in this dump with a broke nerd than with me?
14:58Duh!
14:59Kenji always helps me!
15:00Plus, we're both broke, so...
15:03Is that true, boss?
15:05Oh!
15:07Uh-oh!
15:08Alisa was trying to keep her being broke a secret!
15:11Gotta smooth this over!
15:13Yep, totally for real!
15:15Got proof right here!
15:18Jeez, this guy!
15:21Our boss is broke?
15:24Why didn't you talk to us about this sooner?
15:27Huh?
15:28I thought finding out your boss was broke would be a letdown.
15:33No, of course not!
15:35We owe you big time!
15:37Keeping worries to yourself is super lonely!
15:43Even if I'm broke, everyone still accepts me, huh?
15:47And I...
15:48I'm sorry for not saying anything until now.
15:51From now on, I'll rely on all of you when I have to.
15:55Roger that, boss!
15:57If you ever have any troubles, just tell us!
16:00We'll do anything we can to help!
16:03How did things take a turn for the better?
16:06Fine, I'll force my way in!
16:08Get him, guys!
16:10Nah, we can't do that.
16:13Huh?
16:15Whoa, that's some awesome friendship right there!
16:20We can't interfere with that!
16:23What?!
16:25If you're gonna do it, do it on your own!
16:28Besides, we're not even your henchmen!
16:31We're your big bros crew!
16:32Let's go get ramen!
16:35I'm getting the dipping noodles!
16:38Hey, don't put ramen first!
16:40I'm the boss here!
16:42Looks like even your crew is ditching you!
16:45It ain't over yet!
16:48At least let me take down this nerd all by myself!
16:54Kenji!
16:57A few minutes later.
16:59Ugh, this guy's tough!
17:03Just give up.
17:04There's no meaning.
17:06Wait, that's Ska!
17:09Is he the demon king of Koiwa?
17:13That famous badass who was causing trouble in the neighborhood prefecture two years ago?
17:19No way!
17:20So you're saying that monster is lurking around here?
17:25My family's poor, you know?
17:27That's why I'm working part-time here to send them money.
17:30Back there, I had to fight to protect my younger siblings from bullies,
17:34and somehow, I ended up becoming the strongest.
17:37I got too famous, and even when I tried to quit, people kept coming after me.
17:41So, to avoid causing trouble for my family, I moved here.
17:45My little brother, who's become super strong now, is protecting them.
17:52So you still won't give up on Alisa?
17:54If you won't, regret it.
17:57I'm sorry!
18:00Afterward, Shadow got scolded by his brother and couldn't get his help anymore.
18:04Because he had taunted so many bad guys, he now felt scared to go outside.
18:09Of course, he stayed away from Alisa too.
18:13After a while, we moved to different apartments,
18:16but we kept visiting each other's homes on the weekends and continued our close relationship.
18:21Alisa remained the feared boss at school, but when it's just the two of us...
18:26Finally! We can cuddle without worrying about others seeing us. Right, darling?
18:32I'd appreciate it if you'd give me a little space.
18:36No way! It's lonely when you're not close.
18:40Man, Alisa, you're the clingiest girl in the world.
18:45This is the real me! Or is it bothering you?
18:50Nope! Feels like you're relying on me, so...
18:53Then I'm gonna get even clingier, darling!
18:57People are so different than they seem!
