    Is Kazuki...
[00:10] Niko
    eating real food?
[00:12] Miwa
    The end times are upon us!
[00:14] Yu
    Good work finishing the soup.
[00:18] Kazuki
    It's no big deal, as long
    as there are no carrots.
[00:22] Yu
    I added grated carrots, actually.
[00:32] Yu
    It sure took a while.
[00:35] Yu
    Who'd've thought it'd be this tough
    to get them to eat my cooking?
[00:40] Yu
    These sisters sure are a handful.

    so I'll be at practice till late.

[02:24] Miwa
    I gotta pass, too.
[02:26] Kazuki
    I have rehearsals, so I'll be
    eating on set for a while.
[02:30] Yu
    Have a... good day.
[02:36] Yu
    Right as we were all starting
    to eat together...
[02:40] Yu
    Well, I'm used to it.
[02:42] Yu
    There were times when Mom didn't come
    home for a whole month due to work.
[02:48] Yu
    Though... that's what led
    to the distance between us.
[02:55] Yu
    Those three...
[02:57] Yu
    are naturally gifted, just like my mom.
[03:01] Yu
    And I'm just a nobody who's naturally
    good-for-nothing in everything he does.
[03:07] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
    What I want from you is to be
    my daughters' helping hand.
[03:12] Yu
    Easier said than done.
[03:20] Subaru
    Yu...
[03:24] (Flashback) Subaru
    I wish for you to have a happy family.
SIGN    Dear Yu,
SIGN    I wish for you to have a happy family.
SIGN    Love, Mom
[03:32] Yu
    What even makes a happy family?!
[03:34] Yu
    Oh, yeah.
[03:38] Children
    We're back!
[03:40] Subaru
    Welcome home.
[03:43] Yu
    These scenes never stop hitting home.
    Even though it's just normal dialogue.
[03:48] Yu
    There's no real drama in these episodes.
    Just regular, everyday situations.
[03:53] Yu
    But everyone is smiling... together.
[03:56] Yu
    That's the kind of family I want.
SIGN    Homemade Bride
[04:00] Subaru
    A wedding ceremony?
[04:01] Father
    We never had a proper one, you know?
[04:05] Father
    So I was thinking...
[04:10] Daughter
    Mom, you're beautiful!
[04:16] Subaru
    Thank you.
[04:18] Yu
    My mom in a wedding dress...
[04:21] Yu
    The only part of the series
    that leaves me conflicted.
[04:27] Yu
    You wish for me to have a happy family...
[04:31] Yu
    Sorry, Mom. It looks like real life
    isn't the same as a TV series.
[04:36] Miwa
    Man, I'm bushed.
[04:39] Kazuki
    You cut a sorry figure.
[04:41] Niko
    Are you that out of shape?
[04:43] Miwa
    Ya don't need to be fit to play shogi.
[04:48] Yu
    Oh, welcome back.
[04:51] Niko
    What're you crying for?
[04:52] Yu
    Sorry, I was just watching this show.
SIGN    Homemade Bride
[04:56] Miwa
    A family series? And ya watched all of it?
[04:59] Yu
    Yeah.
[05:01] Kazuki

[05:04] Kazuki
    My goodness. He must really miss his mother.
[05:08] Yu
    I really love this show!

[05:14] Kazuki
    Look, new kid...
[05:17] Kazuki
    I know you're all alone with no family,
[05:19] Kazuki
    but you don't have to cook
    and do chores to win us over.
[05:23] Miwa
    Yeah, she's right!
[05:24] Miwa
    You don't have to try so hard.
[05:28] Niko
    You're welcome to take it down a peg.
    You're just freeloading here, after all.
[05:33] Yu
    A freeloader? Me?
[05:36] Niko
    Who else but you?!
[05:37] Yu
    That's not how I see myself!
[05:41] Yu
    I've always run away from my mom.
[05:44] Yu
    My mom was so talented, I'd always just
    assumed I was too different from her.
[05:49] Yu
    I realized too late that we weren't
    all that different after all.
[05:53] Yu
    This time, I want to truly connect!
[05:56] Yu
    I want to bond with you all
[05:58] Yu
    and create a happy family together!
[06:01] Miwa
    Huh?
[06:02] Kazuki
    A happy...
[06:04] Niko
    ...family?
[06:05] Niko
    That's freakin' dumb!
[06:07] Niko
    Quit lettin' that TV show influence you!
[06:10] Niko
    Families are overrated. Way overrated.
[06:14] Niko
    First off, how the hell do you become a fami...
[06:17] Father
    I'll repeat my proposal to you.
[06:20] Father
    Let's become...
[06:22] Father
    a happy family together.
[06:25] Crowd
    Congratulations!
[06:26] Crowd
    Congrats!
[06:34] Niko
    Do...
[06:36] Niko
    Do you mean...?
[06:42] All
    In that sense?!
[06:44] Kazuki
    Why did I fantasize about being the bride?
[06:47] Kazuki
    I-I'm fantasizing?
[06:48] Kazuki
    No way!
[06:49] Kazuki
    Marrying this nobody is out of the question!
[06:51] Niko
    Why am I letting that damn failure rattle me?
[06:54] Niko
    Training! I need more training!
[06:56] Miwa
    It's all 'cause of that TV screen beside him!
[06:59] Miwa
    It's just a subliminal reaction!
SIGN    Similar to how one gets hungry
    upon seeing images of food.
[07:01] Yu
    I've already decided what I want.
[07:04] Yu
    Niko-san!
[07:05] Niko
    You want me?
[07:06] Yu
    Yes, you! I want you and I to exchange...
[07:09] Yu
    when our birthdays are!
SIGN    Both High School 2nd Years
[07:13] Niko
    What?
[07:14] Kazuki
    Really?
[07:15] Miwa
    Are ya kidding me?
[07:17] Yu
    We're going to be family!
[07:19] Yu
    But we're in the same grade, so I don't know
    if you're my older or younger sister!
[07:25] Yu
    We must know who the older sibling is!
[07:28] Yu
    When were you born?
    I was born in December, by the way.
[07:32] Niko
    Shut the hell up.
[07:33] Yu
    Huh?
[07:34] Three
    You'll never be anything
    more than a freeloader!
[07:45] Niko
    Damn that kid!
[07:48] Niko
    Figures he'd be a goof.
[07:51] Niko
    Still...
[07:52] Niko
    He is a teenage boy!
[07:55] Niko
    And he's living with three girls!
[08:00] Niko
    I don't get how he's so immune.
[08:06] Niko
    What's wrong?
[08:07] Yu
    I forgot to buy bread for tomorrow.
[08:11] Yu
    I was going to make sandwiches for us.
[08:13] Niko
    That's it?!
[08:14] Niko
    Don't cry over every dumb screwup you make!
[08:16] Yu
    But this is a big deal to...
[08:18] Yu
    Niko-san!
[08:20] Yu
    Why are you out in just a towel again?
    You'll catch a cold.
[08:24] Niko
    Because you were screaming the house down!
[08:27] Niko
    M-Miwa?
[08:28] Miwa
    Niko-chan?
[08:32] Miwa
    Why's your face so red?
[08:35] Niko
    I-I got dizzy from the hot bath.
[08:37] Miwa
    But you were only in there for five minutes.
[08:40] Miwa
    You acted normal when he saw ya in the nude,
[08:44] Miwa
    so there's no reason to feel ashamed now.
[08:47] Miwa
    That is, unless...
[08:48] Niko
    Why're you overthinking it?!
[08:51] Niko
    And I wasn't nude that time!
[08:52] Yu
    Miwa-san.
[08:53] Miwa
    Yeah?
[08:54] Yu
    I folded the laundry for you.
[08:56] Miwa
    Okey-dokey. Thanks a bunch.
[09:05] Miwa
    Fold 'em again!
[09:06] Yu
    Freeloader bullying?
[09:08] Miwa
    The heck just happened?
[09:11] Niko
    What, now you're blushing?
[09:13] Miwa
    I-I've always had rosy cheeks!
    It's not what ya think!
[09:18] Niko
    That a fact?
[09:19] Niko
    Or maybe you're also secretly crushing on...
[09:24] Miwa
    "You're also"?
[09:27] Miwa
    What's with the "also"? What?
[09:29] Niko
    M-My tongue slipped, okay?!
    I didn't mean to say it!
[09:32] Miwa
    That just means you blurted out the truth!
[09:35] Niko
    Screw you and that big brain of yours!
[09:37] Miwa
    Don't project your anger on me!
[09:38] Miwa
    I'm not angry! You're angry!
[09:39] Kazuki
    You're fighting?
[09:41] Kazuki
    You should learn to act
    your age, little sisters.
[09:44] Yu
    Kazuki-san.
[09:46] Yu
    Glad you're here.
[09:48] Yu
    Can you put this on the top shelf?
    I can't reach it myself.
[09:53] Kazuki
    Fortunately, I'm in a good mood,
    so be grateful.
[09:59] Kazuki
    Is this all?
[10:00] Yu
    Yeah, you're a lifesaver!
[10:03] Yu
    Thank you so much, Kazuki-san!
[10:13] Kazuki
    What're you staring at?!
[10:15] Niko
    K-Kazuki!
[10:16] Miwa
    We've never seen that look
    on your face before!
[10:19] Kazuki
    You two are blushing just as much!
[10:21] Miwa
    I-It's not what ya think!
[10:22] Yu
    What are you guys doing?
[10:24] Yu
    You're sisters, so you're
    supposed to get along!
[10:27] Yu
    I don't even know why
    you're fighting like this!
[10:35] Yu
    Jeez.
[10:39] Yu
    Those girls...
[10:42] Yu
    All they do is create more work for me.
[10:46] Yu
    I guess real life is never
    going to be like a TV show.
[10:51] Yu
    Then again...
[10:52] Yu
    The first time we all ate at the same table,
[10:56] Yu
    we really enjoyed ourselves,
    though I couldn't explain how.
[11:01] Yu
    I hope I get to spend more time
    with those three sisters.
[11:06] Yu
    Though it'll probably take a while
    with those quirky prodigies.
[11:13] Yu
    What's this?
[11:16] Yu
    The Mikadono sisters when they were kids?
[11:21] Yu
    They're so adorable!
[11:23] Yu
    Oh, my gosh! Wow!
[11:27] Yu
    Look at them smiling and getting along!
    They're like angels!
[11:31] Yu
    So how?
[11:34] Yu
    How'd they end up like that?
[11:37] Yu
    Still, it's nice knowing
    they had this childhood.
[11:41] Yu
    A cherry tree at night,
    and a guardian statue...
[11:43] Yu
    Where did they take this photo?
[11:45] Yu
    For that matter...
[11:47] Yu
    Who forgot to take this upstairs?
[11:51] Miwa
    Beats me.
[11:52] Niko
    I don't hold on to old mementos.
[11:55] Kazuki
    It's a family photo.
     It doesn't belong to anyone.
[12:01] Yu
    No one is claiming it,
    but that can't be right.
[12:05] Yu
    Which means...
[12:09] Yu
    Someone's lying to me.
[12:12] Yu
    One of them must've treasured
    this photo enough to keep it—
[12:18] Yu
    someone who's probably wishing
    she could go back to that time.
[12:24] Yu
    So far, I've only cared about ways
    I could bond with the sisters myself.
[12:29] Yu
    But part of being family is thinking
    about what they want, too.
[12:35] Yu
    That said...
[12:37] Kazuki
    This weekend, I'm traveling for a performance.
[12:39] Niko
    I have that tourney.
[12:40] Miwa
    Prelims for me.
[12:42] Kazuki
    Be sure to watch the house for us, new kid.
[12:49] Yu
    Ah, jeez!
[12:51] Yu
    They always go their separate ways!
[12:56] Yu
    Still, those three are constantly
    traveling across the country.
[13:01] Yu
    Prodigies really are amazing people.

[13:09] Yu
    Where's Kazuki-san's performance?
[13:13] Yu
    Wait, wasn't Niko-san's tournament in...?
[13:19] Yu
    That's it!
[13:24] Yu
    Guys, you all have trips tomorrow, right?
[13:27] Yu
    I made hot milk to help you sleep early.
[13:30] Kazuki
    You're thoughtful.
[13:31] Niko
    Crap!
[13:32] Niko
    I have to book a hotel!
[13:34] Miwa
    What a pain. I always put it off
    till the last minute.
[13:39] Yu
    Don't worry about it.
[13:40] Yu
    I've already booked rooms for all of you.

    Not sure if I will.
[13:56] Miwa
    How can I survive on sucky
    hotel food for two whole days?
[14:01] Yu
    Hmm, does that mean...
[14:03] Yu
    you're going to miss my food, Miwa-san?
[14:09] Miwa
    Nobody mentioned your stupid food!
[14:12] Niko
    Holy crap, I was this close...

    ...to saying that same thing.

    they're top-class beauties!
[19:19] Sales associate
    Leave it to me!
    I'll find the very best kimonos for you!
[19:27] Kazuki
    Not bad.
[19:29] Yu
    You're incredible, Kazuki-san!
    You look awesome in traditional attire!
[19:33] Kazuki
    Naturally.
[19:34] Sales associate
    The down-to-earth, chic monotone fabric
[19:36] Sales associate
    is paired with luxuriously bold
     golden chrysanthemums!
[19:39] Sales associate
    The perfect ensemble for a
    tall woman with mature charms!
[19:44] Miwa
    Check this out, Kazu-nee!
[19:46] Miwa
    I'm goin' with the kitty pattern!
[19:48] Yu
    Retro-modern! I love it!
[19:51] Kazuki
    You're as sneaky as a cat,
    so it's tailor-made for you, Miwa.
[19:55] Sales associate
    Cats and catnip flowers is a combination
    that's playful and idiosyncratic,
[19:59] Sales associate
    but it's absolutely perfect for
    someone as quirkily adorable as her!
[20:04] Yu
    What about Niko-san?
[20:10] Yu
    Don't you like kimonos?
[20:12] Niko
    Not in the least.
[20:14] Yu
    But there are so many choices.
    You don't like any of them?
[20:18] Niko
    No, I don't! So leave me alone!
[20:21] Niko
    I'd look weird in one, anyway.
[20:25] Sales associate
    I beg to disagree!
[20:27] Sales associate
    Would you care for this one?
[20:28] Sales associate
    The denim and lightning pattern
    project a sharp and audacious design.
[20:33] Sales associate
    It'll be perfect for a strong,
    handsome girl like you.
[20:42] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
    Niko.
[20:44] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
    You should wear these instead.
[20:47] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
    You like clothes you can move easily in.
[20:49] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
    You're a tomboy, after all.
[20:54] Niko
    I'm not...
[20:54] Yu
    What?
[20:56] Yu
    You've already picked one?
[20:59] Kazuki
    New kid, is that supposed to be for Niko?
[21:02] Miwa
    Pink fabric with flowers?
[21:04] Miwa
    That's too girly and pretty for Niko-chan.
[21:07] Yu
    I don't think so.
[21:10] Yu
    I think it fits someone cute and petite
    like Niko-san perfectly.
[21:14] Sales associate
    She certainly is cute, but she
    would look handsome in this.
[21:18] Yu
    Sure, that one is nice, but...
[21:20] Yu
    Niko-san!
[21:21] Yu
    You should choose which one you want to wear.
[21:32] Miwa
    Sheesh...
[21:34] Miwa
    You're takin' forever!
[21:35] Kazuki
    Hurry it up, Niko!
[21:37] Niko
    Shut it, you guys!
[21:38] Niko
    They're fixing my hair, too!
[21:58] Niko
    I guess... I do look weird.
[22:03] Sales associate
    We...
[22:04] Sales associate
    We have a winner!
[22:07] Niko
    Of what?
