[00:03] Y
    I'd never seen a ghost or a yokai,
[00:07] Y
    and I didn't really care if they existed.
[00:11] Y
    I didn't think they were that scary.
[00:14] Y
    I just wasn't interested in them at all.
[00:17] Y
    Instead, my head was filled
    with real-world problems.
[00:23] Gi
    Senpai, don't forget us.
[00:26] Gi
    Promise us!
[00:30] M
    I've been waiting, Inaba.
[00:39] Y
    Now, then...
[00:43] Y
    I've been waiting to pound that
    face of yours flat, Hase.
[00:47] M
    Same here.
[00:49] M
    I've been waiting for a chance
    to have a real fight with you.
[00:52] Y
    Don't whine later—
[01:18] Y
    Ow...
[01:19] Y
    You were really hitting hard.
[01:22] Y
    My mouth tastes like blood.
[01:25] M
    This was your idea, right?
[01:28] M
    Well, this is to celebrate our
    middle school graduation.
[01:31] Y
    I wanted to try something like this.
[01:40] M
    Congratulations on making it into JTB, Inaba.
[01:43] Y
    Same to you, Hase.
[01:45] Y
    Top of the class, at a famous
    school. Impressive.
[01:48] Y
    You really are amazing, Hase.
[01:51] Y
    Now, you're as good as admitted into Tokyo U.
[01:54] Y
    It's your first step toward being
    a super-elite businessman!
[01:57] M
    You're just as amazing...
[01:59] M
    Wasn't going to a residential
    high school your dream?
[02:02] Y
    Yeah!
[02:04] Y
    I'm gonna do my best.
[02:06] Y
    I'll learn a lot and get certifications.
[02:09] Y
    And after graduation, I'll be able
    to start work as a businessman!
[02:12] M
    Hey, Inaba...
[02:14] M
    Are you really okay?
[02:18] Y
    Yeah!
[02:21] Y
    This spring,
[02:22] Y
    I, Yushi Inaba, was accepted into
    Joutou Business High School.
[02:27] Y
    For so long, I've wanted to
    live in a dorm, on my own,
[02:30] Y
    and this is my chance.
[02:32] Y
    Now, I can finally leave my uncle's house.
[02:36] Y
    That's right.
[02:37] Y
    Now, I can live on my own.

    Looking for a room at this time of year?
[04:34] Gu
    What's your budget?
[04:36] Gu
    20,000 or 30,000? I don't even
    know what to do with that.
[04:41] Gu
    There's this thing called a market that says
[04:43] Gu
    the cheapest rate here is 50,000.
[04:46] Gu
    We're closed now.
[04:49] Gu
    And you can't get a room without a guarantor.
[04:54] Gu
    No parents?
[04:55] Gu
    You're a minor, aren't you?
[04:58] Gu
    Then, why not just stay with your uncle?
[05:02] Gu
    I mean, not much else to be done.
[05:08] Y
    Not much else to be done, huh?
[05:12] Gu
    We got a message
[05:14] Gu
    that the dorm reconstruction
    will take about six months.
[05:18] gi
    Oh, dear...
[05:21] gi
    But I'm glad you weren't there.
[05:23] Y
    B-But I...
[05:26] Y
    My move...
[05:29] Gi
    Then, what will you do?
[05:31] Gu
    What? Well, I mean...
[05:34] Gi
    He'll have to stay here while
    he goes to school!
[05:36] Gu
    Yeah, I guess he will.
[05:45] Gi
    E-Eriko...
[05:50] Y
    I-I'll take care of this, somehow!
[05:57] Y
    What the hell is "somehow," though?

    In the end, I'm just a
    completely helpless kid,
[06:04] Y
    whose life is dictated by others,

[07:55] Gu
    You only need to stay six months,
    until they rebuild the dorm, right?
[07:59] Y
    Th-Thank you!
[08:09] Y
    The building's name is "Kotobuki-so."
[08:25] Y
    How do you like it?
[08:26] Y
    Pretty classy, right?
[08:28] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[08:40] Y
    The Kotobuki-so, huh?
[08:42] Y
    I wonder how old it is.
[08:53] Gu
    Here, you go.
[08:54] Gu
    This is the key for room 202.
[08:57] Gu
    From now on, that's your room.
[08:59] Y
    My own room!
[09:05] Gu
    If you like, use the furniture.
[09:09] Gu
    And you don't mind books on
    the bookshelves, do you?
[09:12] Y
    No, not at all!
[09:15] Y
    Reimei Isshiki!
[09:16] Y
    I'm a big fan!
[09:19] Gu
    You read Isshiki-san, too?
[09:22] Gu
    You're a bit old-fashioned.
[09:24] Y
    Yeah.
[09:25] Y
    I borrowed one from a friend
    named Hase and loved it!
[09:27] Y
    They may seem grotesque,
    but they're actually really refined.
[09:32] Y
    I especially like the gap between
    them and the author's photo...
[09:37] Gu
    I wondered what that noise was. Are you new?
[09:40] Y
    Reimei Isshiki!
[09:42] Y
    Isshiki-sensei!
[09:43] Y
    Is it really you?
[09:44] Gu
    It really is.
[09:46] Y
    Isshiki-sensei, you live here?
[09:50] Gu
    Yeah, for over a decade...
[09:53] Gu
    But I'm considered one of
    the newer residents.
[09:56] Y
    I-Is that so?
[09:59] Y
    I can live in the same building
    as one of my favorite authors.
[10:04] Y
    This is amazing!
[10:06] Gi
    Isshiki-san, is there someone new?
[10:09] Gu
    Yep.
[10:11] A
    I'm Akine Kuga!
[10:15] A
    Nice to meet you.
[10:16] Gu
    Akine-san?
[10:18] Gu
    Akine Kuga-chan, from room 204.
[10:21] Gu
    A second-year at Takanodai High.
[10:23] Gu
    She lives on her own, just like you.
[10:26] Y
    On her own? Even though she's a girl?
[10:29] Y
    Isn't she lonely?
[10:31] A
    Not at all...
[10:33] A
    Living here is so much fun.
[10:35] A
    I hope you enjoy it, too!
[10:37] A
    All right!
[10:38] A
    I'll help you start unpacking.
[10:41] A
    Is this all you have? There isn't much here.
[10:43] Y
    Oh, you don't have to...
[10:49] Gu
    You kids have fun.
[10:51] Y
    Okay, thank you!
[10:53] A
    I see.
[10:54] A
    Your parents passed away, huh?
[10:58] Y
    Yeah, when I was in seventh grade,
    they died in a car accident.
[11:04] Y
    My parents died suddenly, and I was alone.
[11:08] Y
    My uncle's family took me in.
[11:11] Y
    But my family was an average
    salaryman's household,
[11:15] Y
    so we didn't have any money.
[11:17] Y
    I'm sure I put a lot of financial
    pressure on my uncle's family.
[11:22] Y
    And my cousin, who's a year older,
[11:25] Y
    Eriko, was harsher than I'd expected.
[11:29] Y
    I couldn't let them support me forever.
[11:32] Y
    So I decided on a school with a dorm.
[11:38] Y
    But the dorm burned down in a fire,
[11:41] Y
    and now I'm here.
[11:45] A
    I see.
[11:46] Y
    But I'm just fine!
[11:50] Y
    That was three years ago.
[11:52] Y
    Now, I need to do my best on my own.
[11:56] Y
    A-Akine-san?
[11:58] A
    You needn't be in such a hurry to grow up.
[12:02] Y
    R-Right.
[12:04] A
    All right! Let's unpack the rest
    of your stuff, Yushi-kun.
[12:09] Y
    Okay!
[12:11] Gu
    That's most of it, huh?
[12:13] Y
    Thank you.
[12:15] Gu
    I wanted to introduce you
    to the other residents,
[12:18] Gu
    but they're all out.
[12:20] Gu
    Well, they'll be back, eventually.
[12:23] Y
    Oh?
[12:24] Gu
    Don't worry!
[12:26] Gu
    They're all really nice!
[12:28] Gu
    Indeed.
[12:29] Gu
    Akine-chan might be the scariest one here.
[12:32] A
    Jeez, Isshiki-san, I'll get mad!
[12:36] Y
    I'm not that worried.
[12:38] Gu
    I was kidding.
[12:38] Y
    Looking at these two,
[12:39] Gu
    Want one?
[12:40] Y
    I can tell exactly the kind of place this is.
[12:40] A
    Yes! Thank you!
[12:44] Y
    I'm glad I came here.
[12:50] A
    Yushi-kun, dinner's ready. Let's go.
[12:53] Y
    Okay!
[12:55] Y
    Oh, yeah. I get food, too.
[12:58] Y
    I wonder how it is.
[13:01] A
    This way, Yushi-kun.
[13:03] Y
    Coming!
[13:10] Y
    Wow!
[13:12] Gu
    They said today is your welcome dinner.
[13:16] A
    I love Ruriko-san!
[13:18] Y
    Let's eat!
[13:25] Y
    It's good!
[13:26] A
    Isn't it?
[13:27] A
    Ruriko-san, the chef, is a genius!
[13:31] A
    She always cooks us warm meals.
[13:34] Y
    Ruriko-san?
[13:38] Y
    She cooks in the dark?
[13:41] Y
    Is that really okay?
[14:04] Gu
    Oh, my... Everyone came to eat.
[14:07] A
    I bet the smell brought them down.
[14:30] A
    Thanks for the meal!
[14:33] A
    I'm so full!
[14:35] A
    That was great, right?
[14:36] Y
    Y-Yeah.
[14:38] Y
    U-Um, Akine-san...
[14:42] Y
    The people in the cafeteria...
[14:45] Y
    Do they all live here?
[14:50] A
    Most are neighbors.
[14:53] A
    This place is kind of a local hangout.
[14:56] Y
    A hangout? Is that—
[14:58] A
    Look at the time!
[15:00] A
    Yushi-kun, I'm heading off.
[15:03] Y
    Where are you going?
[15:04] A
    I've got work.
[15:06] A
    The night shift at the hospital.
[15:08] Y
    At this hour?
[15:10] A
    You go and relax! Bye!
[15:17] Y
    Relax?
[15:18] Y
    I don't know about that.
[15:26] Gu
    There are ghosts...
[15:30] Y
    No way.
[15:32] Y
    They're playing Mahjong.
[15:35] Y
    I know... I'll ask them about
    these apartments.
[15:42] Y
    Um...
[16:10] Gu
    Yushi-kun!
[16:14] Gu
    What's wrong? Why so surprised?
[16:18] Y
    I-Isshiki-san!
[16:19] Gu
    Let's go to the bath.
[16:21] Gu
    The bath in the basement is amazing!
[16:25] Y
    B-Bath?
[16:35] Gu
    This is paradise...
[16:37] Y
    This is the building's basement, isn't it?
[16:41] Y
    I-Isshiki-san, I've been wondering something.
[16:46] Y
    Isn't there something kind of weird...
[16:49] Y
    about this apartment building?
[16:51] Gu
    There sure is!
[16:52] Gu
    This is a yokai apartment building.
[16:55] Y
    A yokai...
[16:58] Gu
    Right, landlord?
[17:25] M
    Inaba... Hey, Inaba!
[17:29] M
    Wake up!
[17:32] Y
    A dream?
[17:34] Y
    Er... I had this weird dream.
[17:37] Y
    There was this yokai...
[17:39] Y
    There aren't any yokai, though.
[17:41] M
    What are you talking about?
[17:42] M
    You're so dumb.
[17:44] Y
    Yeah.
[17:46] M
    There's a yokai
[17:48] M
    right here.
[17:52] Y
    H-Huh?
[17:55] Y
    I guess that was a dream?
[17:59] Y
    That was a weird dream, though...
[18:04] Y
    Morning...
[18:04] Gu
    Morning!
[18:05] Gu
    Sleep well, chirp?
[18:07] Gu
    Wake up and smell the roses, chirp.
[18:09] Gu
    But they say kids who sleep, grow big, chirp.
[18:12] Gu
    And we grew too much!
[18:21] Y
    I-Isshiki-san!
[18:23] Gu
    Oh, good morning, Yushi-kun.
[18:26] Gu
    You had a rough time yesterday, huh?
[18:28] Y
    I knew it.
[18:31] Y
    This is a yokai apartment building.
[18:36] Y
    It actually is?
[18:37] Gu
    If you want to go back home,
    I'll help you pack.
[18:44] A
    I'm back!
[18:45] Y
    Oh, welcome back, Akine-chan.
[18:48] A
    Oh, Yushi-kun...
[18:49] A
    How did it go last night?
[18:51] Y
    A-Akine-san... Behind you.
[19:01] Y
    Wh-What is that guy?
[19:08] Y
    Akine-san, watch out! Run!
[19:16] Y
    Don't tell me... She's too scared to move?
[19:25] Y
    Damn it.
[19:27] Y
    Akine-san!
[19:40] A
    Kin!
SIGN    Kin
[19:53] Y
    I-It's gone.
[19:56] Y
    Akine-san, was that...
[19:58] A
    An evil spirit.
[20:00] Y
    Oh, just an evil spirit...
[20:03] Y
    Wait, an e-evil spirit?
[20:06] A
    At the crossing in front of the station,
    he was staring at me the whole time.
[20:11] A
    I ignored him, but I guess
    he got attached to me.
[20:14] A
    He probably stalked girls his whole life,
[20:18] A
    and even in death, he can't stop!
[20:20] A
    So I purified him.
[20:22] Y
    P-Purified him?
[20:25] Y
    Akine-san, are you...
[20:28] A
    I didn't tell you?
[20:29] A
    I'm an exorcist!
[20:32] A
    But I'm still training.
[20:34] Y
    An exorcist, huh?
[20:37] Gu
    A person who gets rid of spirits
    that cause trouble.
[20:40] Gu
    Many things happen, and many
    different people are here.
[20:44] Gu
    Great, isn't it?
[20:46] Gu
    This world isn't so bad.
[20:48] Gu
    So, Yushi-kun?
[20:51] Gu
    What will you do?
[20:56] A
    I get hungry when I use my power!
[20:58] ---
    Food, food!
[21:00] Gu
    I wonder what's for breakfast...
[21:03] Y
    I'd never seen a ghost or a yokai,
[21:10] Y
    and I didn't really care if they existed.
[21:15] Y
    But it seems as though
[21:17] Y
    yokai and humans really
    do live together here.
[21:22] Y
    And the name of the place
    is the Yokai Apartments.
[21:25] Y
    I'm Yushi Inaba. It's the spring
    of my first year of high school.
