00:00I'm so happy to hear you.
00:30I'll see you next time.
01:30If she's so unlucky, something else must be up.
01:39Something so fundamentally obvious.
01:42Please, I'm at my wit's end.
01:44I brought money.
01:45Of course, your fortune is well worth the cost.
01:48Keep it.
01:49Paying me won't make any difference.
01:51It's nothing.
01:52All I do is sit around and sometimes strange things randomly pop into my mind.
01:55Don't be so modest, please.
01:57The visions you see aren't random things.
01:59Your vision saved my life.
02:01Your gift is to see the future.
02:03Sorry, I'm not sure why you're telling me all of this.
02:06To cheer you up.
02:07Cheer up so you can save my life again.
02:09Direct that confidence toward yourself, please.
02:12Listen, what I see doesn't always happen.
02:15The last thing I'd want to do is cause you any more anxiety.
02:17Well, ignorance won't help.
02:19What if my horrible luck catches up to me?
02:21Go on, take a good long look and say the first thing that comes to mind.
02:25It's your pores, so I think you might want to change your foundation.
02:28Wait, I do see you holding a cute Manakineko statue.
02:32How's that?
02:33I'll get one ASAP.
02:34Will that keep my bad luck away?
02:36Um, I don't know.
02:38But I'd feel so awful if you wasted your money based on all my silly nonsense.
02:42We have plenty of Manakinekos here, so feel free to help yourself.
02:46Really?
02:47Well, it'd be rude of me to decline now, wouldn't it?
02:49This is why I like you.
02:51You're so kind and cheerful.
02:54Take care, buh-bye!
02:58This'll definitely end well.
03:03I'm home.
03:06A force of habit.
03:07With the kids in their dorms and my husband at the bar, I shouldn't be surprised.
03:11No use complaining.
03:13My life is fine.
03:16Oh, sorry I'm late, Ricky.
03:18But lucky, I brought home a new friend.
03:21What's that?
03:23Give it to me.
03:32Great, not again.
03:34This must be the handle.
03:36Come over here, Ricky, but please watch your paws.
03:38Did you knock that down?
03:40He's usually good about leaving things in their place.
03:43My head.
03:45Can't remember the last time I took a break, but if my husband sees me napping, I'll never hear the end of it.
03:50I need to leave.
04:12I need to tell her.
04:14Oh, it's okay.
04:20If I can make it to her house, everything will be just fine.
04:24Keys, where are my keys?
04:26Darn it!
04:27Miss Kyoko, I'm such a wreck!
04:29I can't take this anymore!
04:31I need you!
04:33Tell me why bad stuff keeps happening to me!
04:37Surprise!
04:39I made a yummy tuna helmet for everyone.
04:41You're staying for dinner, aren't you?
04:43Sure!
04:44Yay!
04:45It's dinner time!
04:46Pretty bold of you to overstay your welcome on your first visit, don't you think?
04:50Like Urashima.
04:52I bet he had a lovely dinner at the palace after saving the turtle.
04:55Hang on, just a second!
04:59Open up!
05:00Open up!
05:01Miss Kyoko the Neko didn't work!
05:03My life is still in shambles after bringing home the statue!
05:07I don't know what to do!
05:08I followed your prediction to a T and everything is still falling apart!
05:12Oh no!
05:13Though I still think you're a bit confused!
05:15Sorry you're going through so much, but I never told you to do anything!
05:18But...
05:19First, take a deep breath and tell us what happened.
05:22Of course, I'm sorry.
05:24Huh?
05:25What's going on?
05:28I know.
05:30The truth is, I admire Miss Kyoko more than I can put into words.
05:41Oh, what an adorable looking couple.
05:44And so young, too.
05:46Is this a bad time, honey?
05:48Sorry, I was calling to see if you were on your way.
05:51Can't you take yourself home?
05:53Obviously, that culture school is a waste of our time.
05:58What are you good for if you're terrible at everything?
06:00Taking care of the kids is your responsibility.
06:03Look, your brother's feeling much better today.
06:11I aced my exam.
06:12Do you want to see it, mommy?
06:14That's nice, sweetie, but I'll look at it later, okay?
06:17Go get your brother's medicine for me.
06:19I would have given that senior girl hell.
06:22Are you seriously just going to let this go?
06:24They're definitely taking advantage of you.
06:27It just worries me that she doesn't speak up for herself.
06:30Do we raise our own daughter the wrong way?
06:33You're pathetic.
06:34And too stupid to even do woman's work.
06:36Next time you try to poison me with your pig slop cooking, at least make it edible.
06:43This is the hand I was dealt.
06:46No matter how much I wanted, I'll never have the perfect life with the perfect family.
06:52Will someone...
06:54Will anyone please tell me everything in my life is okay?
07:02Get a hold of yourself!
07:04Instead of reading your fortune, someone should exercise you!
07:07What?
07:08Look, lady.
07:09There are things in this life my mom can't see.
07:12Quit living in a fantasy world or your situation will never get better!
07:15No one has special eyes that can see into the future!
07:18Ask yourself, are you sure you're not the one refusing to see what's around you?
07:22No wonder spirits treat you like crap!
07:26Uh, got any idea what he's talking about?
07:29Kinda.
07:30It's a little sad, though.
07:31She's getting bullied by a ton of spirits.
07:35Remember what I said?
07:36Normally spirits avoid a house full of Bakaneco.
07:39Well, these guys barged in like they own the place.
07:42They're the type of folk who dance and kick graves in life.
07:45You don't want anything to do with them.
07:48And that's not all.
07:49I shouldn't find it funny, but we're not gonna believe what's making our head worse.
08:01I wasn't sure if I should say something.
08:06Didn't I tell you guys our meltdowns were way too hilarious to pass up?
08:09It's too bad that red panda we caught got away.
08:12But with all these cats around, I'm sure we can trigger her a little bit more.
08:15If we really want to push her off the deep end, I vote we knock over the altar next.
08:21Seriously?
08:21Are you just itching to be a doormat to these lowbrow spirits?
08:25Stand up for yourself!
08:27Don't let these guys walk all over you!
08:29You reek of misfortune!
08:31And luckily for you, exercising's my specialty!
08:34Don't you dare get the wrong idea!
08:36I'm only doing this to protect my tension-free sanctuary!
08:39Nabashima!
08:40A cluster of rats got into the house!
08:42Catch him and eat him!
08:43Wait, can that kid see us?
08:51I'm not sticking around to find out!
08:53Ha ha!
08:54Now that's the Nabashima we know and love!
08:56I knew he'd come around eventually!
08:58Guess he's feeling less crabby about being sidelined back at the shop.
09:01Aw, he sounds like an adorable kitty cat.
09:05Exercise?
09:09Like predator, like prey.
09:10For some reason, my head feels much better.
09:15So your son possesses supernatural powers too, and he's kind like his mother.
09:20Honestly, I must look so pathetic.
09:24I envy you.
09:25If only my life were as perfect as yours.
09:28About time, you finally said what you really feel.
09:32What?
09:32I overheard you talking earlier.
09:35You're too accepting and too reliant on others, but you're a good person.
09:38You are eavesdropping on my conversation?
09:43Who are you anyway?
09:45Never wondered if there's such a thing as being too nice?
09:47Chasing away your misfortune won't solve everything.
09:50Unless you change, those nasty creeps will keep coming back.
09:54Both the living and the dead.
09:56You've got to learn to advocate for yourself.
09:58And what if the man I married wants a docile wife?
10:01Compared to what other people are going through, I have no right to complain.
10:05Yeah, that's what everyone says.
10:07You're a textbook case.
10:09I've seen plenty of men and women like you.
10:11Like you've turned into Pavlov's dog.
10:14Psychological abuse, brainwashing, etc.
10:16Ring a bell?
10:18Circumstances usually include verbally abusive, domineering husbands or overly emotional wives.
10:24Typically, these types are paired with pushover partners.
10:27This might get a little personal, but bear with me here.
10:30Were you one of those kids raised to be an obedient daughter by your mother or father?
10:39Don't place your trust in the wrong solutions, ma'am.
10:43One thing about me is that I hate fortunes that rob you of the chance to solve your own problems.
10:48My family's curse prevented any of us from living past the age of 30 years old.
10:54The kindness of one person reversed that fate.
10:57Looking to them for rescue feels pathetic.
11:00So I've decided to solve my own problems by myself.
11:03Somehow, I always find a way.
11:08Can't say I agree with that.
11:09Not to throw cold water on your dramatic speech, but you're demanding too much.
11:13Take a moment to consider her circumstances.
11:18Need me to help out?
11:20Huh? What?
11:23Hey, I'm home.
11:25Uh, turn the lights on.
11:30Not gonna say hi.
11:31What's the matter with you?
11:33And where is my dinner?
11:35What dinner?
11:37Huh?
11:37Woman, have you lost your mind?
11:39First you don't greet me, and now you're too stupid to cook?
11:44Don't make me ask you again, where's my damn dinner?
11:47Take your hands off me, you shithead!
11:50Then how do you think you are grabbing me like that?
11:53If you don't shut up, I'll curse you!
11:55Did I marry myself onto a pig?
11:57You certainly squeal like one!
12:00Actually, you're lower than a pig.
12:02Don't look down on me when your shady nepo baby ass
12:05needs your mommy or some random hooker to wipe your butt
12:07until my sorry excuse of a husband
12:09is ready to own up to his mistakes.
12:11I don't want to hear another oink out of you!
12:13Got it?
12:21Hello, mother!
12:22This is your daughter letting you know
12:23I won't be visiting you!
12:25But my brother?
12:26If he wants to see you next weekend,
12:29he can take the bus!
12:30He's almost 50 years old,
12:32and how think you're 70?
12:33Tell him to hit the road!
12:34Figure it out!
12:35He's a big boy!
12:36Now put up or shut up, mom!
12:40Huh?
12:48Did I turn into a monster?
12:52Or was that me all along suffering under the weight of my stress?
12:56I'm so sorry, mother.
12:58But I have to admit,
12:59the last time I felt this weight leave my shoulders was
13:02never...
13:03She just needed to hear herself say the words
13:06and actually mean them, you know?
13:09Really, my only requirement is to possess a believer.
13:12Everything else was pretty much all her.
13:14Those words were spoken from the heart.
13:17Spending 10 years as a wandering spirit
13:19made me a good fit for her obsessive personality.
13:21Put that way, you do sound compatible.
13:25But I thought I told you to move on, Maya.
13:27And leave without saying thank you?
13:29No way.
13:30It's like that one story with the guy who saved the turtle.
13:33Even turtles say thank you, right?
13:35Plus, I really want to go sightseeing.
13:38Suppose you showed up at the right time, then.
13:40That girl over there was possessed by a bunch of spirits,
13:44so I followed them here.
13:46Who let you back in?
13:47Your mom said I can visit anytime.
13:49Hitched a ride.
13:51She has got so many of them I didn't notice.
13:53So this is where you put the doll to rest, huh?
13:56Thank you for that.
13:58You were only able to help out because you're a spirit.
14:01Yep.
14:01And I can pet this big cat because I'm a spirit, yeah?
14:05Excuse me, but is Miss Kyoko home?
14:08Yes.
14:08Oh.
14:10I know I was a handful, so I wanted to apologize.
14:14This is for you.
14:15No way, I couldn't possibly.
14:16Please.
14:17I must insist that you take my gift.
14:19Well, in that case, I accept.
14:23Great hair, by the way.
14:24Come in, I've made dorayaki.
14:26Oh no, I only wanted to stop by.
14:29Then take this.
14:31For you.
14:34Is this the statue?
14:35You did an amazing job.
14:37Actually, he did.
14:39Better than before, right?
14:40That's Kintsugi for you.
14:42Don't worry, the Nekozukus are footing the bill.
14:44Pretty.
14:45Do you practice this professionally?
14:48Well, sort of.
14:49You could say I'm good at extending lives.
14:51Miss Sakurago, I had an amazing vision of us watching a movie, eating sushi, and going out for a few drinks together.
14:58Let's do everything we can to make that happen.
15:02Sounds like a fun time indeed.
15:04So the moral of this story is, everybody needs one rich friend to treat them to sushi.
15:10You're way off the mark.
15:11Not to pry, but I've been dying to ask.
15:13Did you happen to see anything interesting when you first met me?
15:16Well, who's to say?
15:18It's not my place to reveal a future that will come to pass.
15:21Good food with friends is way more important to me.
15:24I completely agree.
15:28Sorry.
15:29I need to come clean with you, Kyoko.
15:31My family is a little unorthodox.
15:33Staying with me will be challenging.
15:35Lucky for us, we'll have a nice big house and lots of health from Morgara.
15:38All I see is a future full of fun.
15:43Thank you again.
15:44I'm heading out too.
15:45Later.
15:47Young man!
15:48Why aren't you at the market?
15:49Go!
15:50Eggs are a hundred yen today!
15:52No time to chat!
15:52I'm off to the gym with Fujimura's wife and then I'm cleaning up the block with the council!
15:56Ta-da!
15:57That old lady's something else.
15:59Share that energy with me.
16:02Spirits consumed by Bakkeneko are excreted and suffer the agonizing weight of retrieval.
16:07Meanwhile, the otter found a new home with an unfortunate victim.
16:13My head's been pounding like crazy.
16:15I need to retire.
16:16Leave the poor guy alone.
16:18He's not a sea monster.
16:21Hey, you fixed it.
16:23My dad's watch looks great.
16:24Works great too.
16:26Life lesson.
16:27A little fine-tuning always does the trick.
16:30These days, it's more convenient to buy a replacement.
16:32Been a while since I've done repairs.
16:34That's incredible.
16:35Can you fix anything?
16:36You know, really, everything's fair game.
16:39Except human nature.
16:40Oh, and smartphones too.
16:42Cool.
16:43Here you go.
16:44Hey, so, uh, sorry for charging you.
16:46Labor's labor.
16:47Now, if you want to apologize for mooching off my food, then...
16:50No can do, kid!
16:53Far as I'm concerned, those are entirely different things.
16:56So many knick-knacks.
17:00Did you make or repair every single one of these things?
17:03The best part is, you don't need any special qualifications.
17:06I've been getting into a ton of local handicraft events.
17:10Sign-ups are easy.
17:11All I do is borrow the candy shop's internet and number.
17:14Leave it to someone like you to find a workaround.
17:17Oh?
17:17Cute, huh?
17:19Yeah, Kyoko's quite a fan of those too.
17:21Who's Kyoko?
17:23Toshiro's wife.
17:24Our professor?
17:26Yeah, I've seen her on campus.
17:28You forgot this.
17:29Blows my mind that a couple their age have a son in high school.
17:33Kyoko can't see Bakaneko like Ikebukuro.
17:36So this is what the kitty cat looks like!
17:38That's why she buys these.
17:39Okay, I can see that.
17:44There's more stuff on the second floor.
17:46You want to see?
17:51Are those fake food displays?
17:53Full-scale replicas are fun, but some people like them for the decor.
17:58Bought the oven used.
17:59Because I needed something to fire my pottery in these babies.
18:03All of this by hand?
18:04Should have seen the animal candies I used to make.
18:07Cute stuff sells, and it sells well.
18:10After the war, I sold fish and substitute udon.
18:13To be quite honest, it was easy for me to do business on the black market.
18:17No need for resumes, no need to dodge suits and debt collectors.
18:21If it wasn't soul-sucking and hard to get out of, I would have stayed for the pay.
18:25These are bootlegs of woodblock prints.
18:28I know, not my best work, but I sold a ton of these little guys.
18:31And speaking of things selling well, I drew a lot of porn back in the day.
18:35Sold so much, I was nearly uncovered by the shogunate.
18:38Guess it's true what they say about the old guard drawing porn on the side.
18:42Porn pays better than the main hustle.
18:44Kuniyoshi drew some of it too, you know.
18:46And don't get me started on Hokusai.
18:48That guy was known as the slippery rod.
18:50Some say the legendary Uemura Shouen had a raunchy slew of material.
18:56For an artist, it simply boils down to putting food on the table.
19:00From an academic perspective, this is really fascinating stuff.
19:03It's our history.
19:05You gotta remember that for me.
19:07They're my memories.
19:08Fine.
19:08Why not sell doujenshi?
19:11You can make some serious bank if you capitalize on it.
19:14It's a fact that horny art sells well in every era.
19:16I could capitalize?
19:20You're saying that I could draw pornos?
19:23Horny enough?
19:24Sure, maybe a century or two ago.
19:26Get with the times, man.
19:28The sketches you drew the other day were rough, but had a lot of personality and potential.
19:33I bet you can pick up a new style.
19:35Good to hear.
19:36I got my work cut out for me.
19:38Better yet.
19:39Draw a manga about a little red panda!
19:42Make tons of cute merch like keychains and figurines!
19:45I'll totally eat it up.
19:46Red panda freak.
19:48Sure!
19:49Let's workshop it some other time.
19:51For now, how about we make some food?
19:53Fake food, of course.
19:54Get me in!
19:56I've watched a few anime here and there, but I've got a long way to go if I'm gonna draw full-time.
20:02We've gotta remember that this guy's a walking textbook on folklore.
20:06As a matter of fact...
20:07Wait!
20:08Oh crap, I forgot!
20:10Hmm?
20:10One of my assignments from class is to write up a report on local festivals and culture!
20:15Mugura!
20:16Hit me with the festival I can base my report on!
20:19The weirder, the better!
20:20The weirder, the better, huh?
20:22Let's see...
20:23There's the one where ghosts gather every year.
20:26Perfect!
20:27I can write about that!
20:28Unless...
20:29You're feeding me a hoax which doesn't count!
20:31I wouldn't mention it if it were a hoax.
20:33If you ask me, Japan has way too many festivals.
20:37This is for your class, right?
20:38We need to walk a fine line here.
20:41It'd be odd if a student wrote about an undocumented festival.
20:44That's true.
20:45What else fits the bill?
20:49Hey, so...
20:50My hometown is hosting a festival this weekend and you can write about that.
20:54Really?
20:54Remember when I told you my family's up in the countryside?
20:57That's where it's held!
20:59Promising, but I don't want to steal your topic from you.
21:02Not stealing.
21:03I've already written mine about another festival.
21:05Personally, I think it's much better to experience it as a tourist.
21:09Visitors don't come by too often, so it's always cool to see a new face.
21:13It'll be fun!
21:14I feel like the main character at the start of a horror film!
21:19So, anything else to it?
21:21The festival's been around forever and it's based on legends.
21:24To spare you too many details, it's an offering and purification festival to merfolk.
21:29Legends say they bewitch people and drag them beneath the waves.
21:33Merfolk, huh?
21:35The coasts have plenty of strange tales about monsters.
21:38Yep.
21:38Mostly to remind residents of the dangers at sea.
21:45Um, listen.
21:47Hmm?
21:47Maybe you...
21:49Should tag along.
21:50Why me?
21:52My great-grandpa...
21:54Yuhachi Kirihara.
21:57He just turned 97.
21:59He's still alive.
22:00Hmm.
22:01Hmm.
22:01Hmm.
22:03Hmm.
22:05Hmm.
