Hanasaku Iroha
**[00:18] Ohana**
Mom,
**[00:20] Ohana**
I'm not actually your child.
**[00:24] Ohana**
Your friend, an ailing jazz singer,
**[00:27] Ohana**
had a child with an American
soldier who arrived at port.
**[00:32] Mom**
First of all, I don't
have female friends.
**[00:35] Mom**
Secondly, that's not something a
child confesses to their mother.
**[00:39] Ohana**
Was worth a shot.
**[00:43] Mom**
Little miss Ohana, do you know
how babies are made?
**[00:46] Ohana**
I prefer the stork theory over
the cabbage patch theory.
**[00:51] Mom**
Same here.
**[00:52] Mom**
Digging up babies from a cabbage
patch sounds quite deranged.
**[00:55] Mom**
Crap, a deadline reminder call!
**[00:57] Mom**
Quick! Get it!
**[00:59] Ohana**
Me?
**[01:01] Mom**
Just do it!
**[01:02] Ohana**
But my hands are wet!
**[01:04] Ohana**
Hello, Matsumae residence.
**[01:05] Ohana**
Oh, hi.
**[01:07] Ohana**
It's your boyfriend.
**[01:07] Mom**
What?
**[01:10] Mom**
Sorry, honey!
**[01:12] Mom**
I've been so busy!
**[01:13] ---**
The editors are being so mean to me!
**[01:16] Mom**
Are you coming over tonight?
**[01:18] Mom**
What? If we need to talk,
let's do it over a drink.
**[01:21] Mom**
There will be dinner.
**[01:22] ---**
Episode 1: It's Spring,
I'm 16, and I'm Still a Bud
**[01:23] Mom**
Made by Ohana.
**[01:30] Ohana**
Ko, I've got a question.
**[01:32] Ko**
Yeah?
**[01:33] Ohana**
How do you eat the corn kernels in canned soup?
**[01:36] Ohana**
They always get stuck to the bottom.
**[01:41] Ko**
You look so ridiculous right now.
**[01:44] ---**
Can'h geh 'em ouh...!
**[01:45] Ko**
Why don't you just pour some water in the can?
**[01:50] Ohana**
You weirdo!
**[01:52] Ohana**
That would ruin the taste!
**[01:54] Ohana**
The corn's as good as gone.
**[01:57] Ko**
Well, you could dump the
water into another cup,
**[01:59] ---**
and just eat the corn with chopsticks.
**[02:02] Ohana**
Here I thought your plan
was lazy and crude,
**[02:04] ---**
but it's actually quite
patient and elaborate.
**[02:07] Ko**
Hush.
**[02:12] Ohana**
Ko's so patient! Ko's so patient!
**[02:18] Ko**
Have you chosen your junior year electives yet?
**[02:22] Ohana**
Nope.
**[02:23] Ko**
What career will you pursue after graduation?
**[02:27] Ohana**
Don't wanna decide yet.
**[02:29] Ko**
You really play everything
by ear, don't you.
**[02:32] Ko**
Keep that up, and you'll ruin yourself.
**[02:37] Ohana**
"Ruin myself," huh? I like it.
**[02:39] Ohana**
Sounds dramatic.
**[02:41] Ko**
Excuse me?
**[02:43] Ohana**
What boring scenery.
**[02:45] Ohana**
A mere fraction of sky is visible;
**[02:49] ---**
the rest blocked by tall buildings.
**[02:51] Ohana**
A transient escape on a packed train,
**[02:53] ---**
as the sunset dyes the city vermillion.
**[02:55] Ko**
Hey, that sounds pretty cool.
**[02:58] Ohana**
But it isn't.
**[03:00] Ohana**
I may not act like it, but I'm
actually pretty pragmatic.
**[03:03] Ohana**
I don't live with the greatest role model.
**[03:06] Ko**
Yeah, your mom is quite the woman.
**[03:09] Ohana**
So, even if I don't decide
on what to do right away,
**[03:12] Ohana**
I think I'll end up finding a stable job,
**[03:14] ---**
getting married around age 26,
**[03:16] Ohana**
then buying a plot at the cemetery
in block 3 once I get old.
**[03:19] Ohana**
My dad told me gravestones there can be pretty pricey.
**[03:23] Ohana**
If you can afford one, you should be fine—
**[03:28] Ohana**
You lose! Later!
**[03:30] Ko**
Hey!
**[03:32] Ko**
Got any plans for spring break?
**[03:35] Ohana**
Nope!
**[03:39] Ko**
Never mind!
**[04:00] Ohana**
I do like this time of day, though.
**[04:02] Ohana**
Lights flicker on, one by one,
**[04:05] Ohana**
illuminating my path.
**[04:09] Ohana**
I hope they also light the way to my future.
**[04:11] Ohana**
And I hope that, at
the end of that path,
**[04:14] ---**
I'll have changed for the better.
**[04:20] Ohana**
I'm home.
**[04:22] Ohana**
What the heck?!
**[04:23] Mom**
Great! You're finally home!
**[04:26] Ohana**
What's going on?
**[04:27] Mom**
Listen.
**[04:29] Mom**
He's fallen into debt.
**[04:34] Ohana**
So you're doing a moonlight flit?!
**[04:36] Mom**
Well you see, he gave them our address!
**[04:40] BF**
Yeah, sorry about that.
**[04:41] Ohana**
And when are you running away?
**[04:43] Mom**
Tonight.
**[04:44] Mom**
Strike while the iron's hot!
**[04:46] BF**
Though there's nothing hot about this.
**[04:48] Mom**
Oh, shut up!
**[04:50] Mom**
This is all your fault, you know!
**[04:52] Ohana**
It's like I'm living in a soap opera.
**[04:55] Ohana**
I feel a nosebleed coming!
**[04:57] Mom**
That sensitive nose of yours.
**[05:00] Ohana**
But maybe this is a chance
for me to reinvent myself.
**[05:06] Ohana**
So, are we fleeing north or south?
**[05:08] Both**
Huh?
**[05:10] Mom**
Why?
**[05:11] Ohana**
Well, if we're going somewhere cold,
**[05:13] ---**
I'll need to buy some more warm clothes.
**[05:15] Ohana**
But if we're going somewhere warm,
then maybe I should get a sundress?
**[05:20] Mom**
What kind of parent runs
away with their kid?
**[05:24] Ohana**
What kind of parent runs
away *without* their kid?
**[05:29] Mom**
Here.
**[05:29] ---**
Kissuisō
**[05:34] Guy**
You're free to go!
**[05:36] Ko**
Okay!
**[05:37] Ohana**
Hey!
**[05:41] Ko**
Are you serious?!
**[05:43] Ohana**
Yeah. I'm going to my grandma's by myself.
**[05:47] Ohana**
I'll be going to school there, too.
**[05:50] Ohana**
I...
**[05:51] Ko**
O-Ohana!
**[05:53] Ko**
Don't look so pessimistic!
**[05:56] Ko**
What kind of face is that?
**[05:58] Ohana**
Huh?
**[05:59] Ohana**
Since Grandma and Mom are on bad terms,
**[06:01] ---**
I don't know a single thing about her.
**[06:04] Ohana**
But doesn't living in a hot spring inn sound dramatic?
**[06:08] Ohana**
Though, personally, I think a moonlight flit would've been more fun.
**[06:14] Ohana**
Ko?
**[06:15] Ko**
I'm the kind of guy who reaches the
corn by flooding it with water.
**[06:21] Ohana**
Yeah, that was pretty original.
**[06:24] Ko**
I do things in a roundabout way.
**[06:28] Ko**
So as your best friend, I figured someday you'd...
**[06:31] Ko**
Guess not.
**[06:33] ---**
I can see now that I was wrong.
**[06:35] Ko**
I thought if we were always together,
you'd figure out how I feel about you.
**[06:41] Ohana**
Sorry, Ko, could you be a bit clearer—
**[06:44] Ko**
I'll say it now: I like you!
**[06:47] Ohana**
What?
**[06:47] Ko**
I've always liked you, Ohana Matsumae!
**[06:50] Ohana**
Huh?
**[06:53] Ohana**
What?
**[06:55] Ohana**
I... I...
**[06:58] Ohana**
W-Wait, you like me? What does that—
**[07:05] Ko**
Just go.
**[07:07] Ohana**
What?
**[07:07] Ko**
Get out of here!
**[07:09] Ohana**
Hang on, Ko—
**[07:15] Ohana**
He left before I did.
**[07:25] Ohana**
The scenery outside reflects
the feelings in my heart.
**[07:30] Ohana**
I never expected anything
from Mom in the first place,
**[07:35] Ohana**
and I've always wanted to
be someone else.
**[07:38] Ohana**
But after seeing a
different side of Ko...
**[07:47] Ohana**
He didn't come to see me off.
**[07:52] Old**
Care for a piece of candy?
**[07:54] Ohana**
Yes, thank you!
**[07:57] Ohana**
I've always wanted to meet an
elderly woman who gives out candy!
**[08:03] Old**
Really, now?
**[08:08] Ohana**
This is so yummy!
**[08:15] Ohana**
Wow!
**[08:17] Ohana**
I've never seen such a vast ocean before!
**[08:20] Old**
That so?
**[08:23] Ohana**
With the way I was feeling,
**[08:24] ---**
I was actually content
being in the tunnel.
**[08:26] Ohana**
But now that we're out,
I can't help feeling excited!
**[09:10] Ohana**
Wow!
**[09:12] ---**
Kissuisō
**[09:21] Ohana**
Amazing!
**[09:23] Ohana**
What a grand stage!
**[09:29] Ohana**
It's like I'm in a movie!
**[09:36] Ohana**
Weeds...
**[09:38] Ohana**
You don't belong here.
**[09:40] Ohana**
You're ruining the image of my fairy-tale perfect hot spring inn.
**[09:49] Ohana**
Yes, it really was a fairy tale.
**[09:52] Ohana**
A pretty girl reached out
her hand to me and...
**[09:57] Minko**
Die.
**[10:00] Ohana**
...told me to die!
**[10:05] Ohana**
Sorry, you surprised me.
**[10:09] Ohana**
Could you repeat that?
**[10:14] Minko**
Die.
**[10:17] Girl**
Stop that, Minchi!
**[10:18] Girl**
You can't go around wishing death
on a complete stranger!
**[10:21] Ohana**
U-Umm...
**[10:23] Girl**
I-I apologize.
**[10:25] ---**
Those are actually wild rocamboles
Minchi's been growing.
**[10:29] Ohana**
Rocamboles?
**[10:31] Ohana**
Minchi?
**[10:33] Girl**
They're edible.
**[10:35] Ohana**
Rocampoes? Minchi?
**[10:36] Minko**
Rocam*boles!*
**[10:37] Girl**
Mi-Minchi!
**[10:39] Grand**
You must be Ohana.
**[10:50] Ohana**
Are you my grandmother?
**[10:53] Grand**
Catch.
**[10:55] Ohana**
Another elderly lady who hands out candy?
**[11:00] Grand**
Here.
**[11:04] Ohana**
Huh?
**[11:07] ---**
Hanasaku Iroha
**[11:16] Grand**
Listen up.
**[11:17] Grand**
As of today, you are an employee of this establishment.
**[11:20] Ohana**
An employee?
**[11:22] Ohana**
Not your granddaughter?
**[11:23] Grand**
You're the daughter of
the girl I disowned.
**[11:26] ---**
You're worth cats and dogs to me.
**[11:28] Grand**
You'll earn your keep.
**[11:29] Ohana**
Oh! Are you training me to
become the next manager—
**[11:34] Grand**
Nwah, I'm having you take
care of random chores.
**[11:36] Ohana**
Nwah?
**[11:37] Grand**
You can do whatever you want
after you graduate high school.
**[11:39] Grand**
You will be paid for your work here.
**[11:42] Grand**
At the same time...
**[11:44] Ohana**
At the same time?
**[11:46] Grand**
Any blunders will be docked from your wages.
**[11:48] Grand**
Be grateful I'm feeding you
**[11:50] ---**
and putting a roof over your head, in this day and age.
**[11:57] Ohana**
I wanted a grandmother who
hands out candy...
**[12:01] Guy**
Oh, you'll be here soon?
**[12:03] Guy**
Yeah?
**[12:04] Guy**
Okay.
**[12:11] Guy**
Huh?
**[12:12] Guy**
Hello?
**[12:16] Guy**
Sis?!
**[12:19] Guy**
Oh, you must be Ohana!
**[12:22] Guy**
Wow, nice to meet—
**[12:23] Ohana**
Would you mind getting off me?
**[12:26] Guy**
Oh, oops, my apologies.
**[12:30] Guy**
The more I look at you, the more I see the resemblance.
**[12:33] Guy**
Those evil eyes always scheming
ways to screw me over.
**[12:36] Guy**
Those sharp canines always looking
to leave bite marks in me.
**[12:41] Ohana**
Um, are you my mom's brother?
**[12:44] Guy**
Yeah. I may use you to work
off my long-standing grudge.
**[12:53] Guy**
Nah, just teasin'!
**[13:01] Woman**
Hey, so you're Ohana?
**[13:02] Ohana**
Y-Yeah.
**[13:03] Woman**
I have a million questions for you!
**[13:07] Woman**
What's Satsuki like?
**[13:09] Woman**
I've heard she's quite the call girl.
**[13:12] ---**
Does she walk around
the house naked, too?
**[13:13] Ohana**
Umm...
**[13:15] Woman**
Oh! I'm Tomoe, the head waitress.
**[13:17] Woman**
Your superior, I suppose.
**[13:19] Woman**
I'll teach you anything
you want to know,
**[13:21] ---**
but you'll need to share info in return.
**[13:22] Ohana**
O-Okay.
**[13:29] Ohana**
That's a nice car.
**[13:32] Woman**
She's apparently a
management consultant.
**[13:34] Woman**
Our Enishi just can't
say no to her.
**[13:36] ---**
The sloppy coward.
**[13:38] Woman**
Is Satsuki like that, too?
**[13:40] Woman**
Sloppy from the waist down, I mean.
**[13:42] Ohana**
Well...
**[13:44] Woman**
That's beanman.
**[13:45] ---**
He's in charge of building maintenance.
**[13:47] Ohana**
Is he nicknamed that
because he's small?
**[13:49] Woman**
No, he shares his last name, Denroku,
with a company that sells beans.
**[13:54] Woman**
That's Tohru, the assistant chef.
**[13:57] Woman**
And the one back there's
the head cook, Mr. Ren.
**[14:00] Ohana**
He has a crew cut?!
**[14:02] Woman**
They looked busy, so I'll
introduce you later.
**[14:07] Woman**
Who am I forgetting?
**[14:08] Woman**
Oh, you're sixteen, right?
**[14:11] Ohana**
Yeah.
**[14:12] Woman**
In that case...
**[14:14] Woman**
Okay, I'll be right there.
**[14:16] Woman**
Great timing, girls!
**[14:18] Ohana**
The girl who told me to die.
**[14:19] Woman**
Oh, you've already met?
**[14:21] Ohana**
No, not exactly.
**[14:23] Girl**
Hi.
**[14:25] Woman**
Well then, that saves time!
**[14:26] Woman**
Their names are Minko and Nako.
**[14:28] Woman**
Since you're all the same age,
**[14:30] ---**
do you mind giving her a quick tour?
**[14:32] Woman**
Thanks in advance!
**[14:34] Ohana**
H-Hi.
**[14:40] Minko**
Thanks, Nako.
**[14:41] Nako**
Huh?
**[14:46] Ohana**
She obviously doesn't like me.
**[14:52] Ohana**
I was sort of expecting an,
"of course she does!"
**[14:55] ---**
Even if it was a lie.
**[14:58] Nako**
Th-That's the high school.
**[15:02] Nako**
Minchi and I go there.
**[15:02] Ohana**
Huh? Where?
**[15:05] Ohana**
Oh, so you two work here part-time?
**[15:08] Nako**
I do. Minchi lives here, though.
**[15:11] Ohana**
Oh yeah, there was a school
uniform hanging in my room!
**[15:14] Ohana**
Maybe we're roommates!
**[15:16] Nako**
I'm not sure.
**[15:17] Ohana**
Ah, that uniform was really cute.
**[15:21] Nako**
Yeah?
**[15:22] Ohana**
The colors were certainly unique.
**[15:25] Nako**
You think so?
**[15:31] Ohana**
Should we head back?
**[15:41] Ohana**
Well, this isn't exactly
what I'd imagined.
**[15:46] Ohana**
Then again, I wasn't even sure what to expect.
**[15:52] Tohru**
You dimwit!
**[15:54] Tohru**
Why'd you peel the skin so thick?!
**[15:56] Minchi**
I'm sorry.
**[15:57] Tohru**
Ever considered what the farmers
who grew these went through?
**[16:01] Minchi**
I'm sorry.
**[16:02] Tohru**
And what about your poor grandmother,
**[16:05] ---**
who make dishes out of the skins?
**[16:06] Minchi**
My grandmother doesn't live with me...
**[16:10] Tohru**
Just use your imagination, idiot!
**[16:12] Minchi**
I'm sorry.
**[16:13] Ohana**
Excuse me?
**[16:17] Tohru**
Oh, are you the manager's
granddaughter?
**[16:21] Ohana**
I think you're being too hard on her.
**[16:24] Ohana**
Yelling at someone doesn't
help them improve, you know.
**[16:26] Tohru**
What?! Y—
**[16:28] Minchi**
Mind your own business!
**[16:32] Tohru**
It's fine.
**[16:33] Tohru**
Do a little more working,
and a little less talking.
**[16:35] Minchi**
I'm sorry.
**[16:37] Tohru**
Hey, do you mind letting
us do our thing?
**[16:41] Tohru**
We have our own rules here.
**[16:52] Ohana**
Man, am I beat!
**[16:58] Ohana**
My life's taken a turn for the weird.
**[17:01] Ohana**
But I guess I've got
nowhere else to go.
**[17:05] Ohana**
I wonder if she's still working.
**[17:08] Ohana**
Ko!
**[17:10] ---**
From: Satsuki
Good luck, Ohana!
**[17:15] Ohana**
Good luck?
**[17:17] Ohana**
You make it sound so easy.
**[17:24] Ohana**
It's a bit awkward for
me to contact Ko.
**[17:31] Ohana**
The drama I'd been longing for so badly...
**[17:34] ---**
...turned out to be kind of
lonely and moldy.
**[17:47] Ohana**
M-My back.
**[18:05] Ohana**
No way.
**[18:07] Ohana**
She went to sleep after I did,
**[18:09] Ohana**
and got up earlier than me.
**[18:11] Ohana**
There's no way someone can sleep
well on such a moldy bed.
**[18:23] Ohana**
There... we go.
**[18:26] Ohana**
Okay.
**[18:26] Guy**
New here?
**[18:28] Ohana**
Yeah, I am.
**[18:38] Ohana**
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
**[18:42] Guy**
What on earth?!
**[18:42] Girl**
Honey!
**[18:43] Grand**
My deepest apologies.
**[18:45] Guy**
Please, it's all right.
You don't need to bow.
**[18:47] Guy**
Right?
**[18:48] Woman**
Right! It was just a falling futon.
**[18:51] Grand**
Ohana!
**[18:52] Ohana**
I-I'm really sorry. I didn't notice—
**[18:57] Grand**
"My sincerest apologies!"
**[18:59] Ohana**
M-My sincerest apolo–gies!
**[19:02] Guy**
No one was hurt.
**[19:04] ---**
Please don't worry about it.
**[19:06] Grand**
If you'll excuse us.
**[19:11] Ohana**
Um...
**[19:13] Grand**
Come with me.
**[19:14] Grand**
Tomoe, summon Minko as well.
**[19:16] Tomoe**
Y-Yes, ma'am!
**[19:18] Ohana**
Minko's futon was really squashed,
**[19:22] ---**
so I wanted to hang it outside for her.
**[19:24] Grand**
At the front of the inn,
where our customers enter?
**[19:27] Ohana**
Y-Yes.
**[19:29] ---**
There wasn't much light in the back,
**[19:30] ---**
and I wanted to hang it out in the sun.
**[19:32] Grand**
At an inn, customers always come first.
**[19:35] Grand**
You come last.
**[19:38] Grand**
No.
**[19:39] Grand**
Even *after* that.
**[19:42] Ohana**
What? Why?
**[19:45] Ohana**
I agree that customers are important,
**[19:48] Ohana**
but I also think it's important to
reward people who work hard.
**[19:53] Tomoe**
Excuse us.
**[19:55] Grand**
Come here, Minko.
**[19:57] Minko**
Yes, ma'am.
**[20:09] Grand**
This girl inconvenienced a customer while
trying to hang *your* futon.
**[20:14] Grand**
Aren't you old enough to take care of yourself?
**[20:17] Minko**
I'm sorry.
**[20:18] Ohana**
G-Grandma!
**[20:20] Grand**
Do not call me that.
**[20:21] Ohana**
Madam Manager, I'm the one at fault here!
**[20:24] Ohana**
You're being unreasonable!
**[20:25] Grand**
How would it look if I slapped
a customer like this?
**[20:29] Grand**
Far worse than "unreasonable,"
of course.
**[20:31] Grand**
And you did just that.
**[20:35] Grand**
Life here revolves around our customers.
**[20:38] Grand**
This is a basic principle. If you can't
accept that, you shouldn't be here.
**[20:44] Ohana**
I understand.
**[20:46] Ohana**
But then...
**[20:48] Ohana**
Hit me, too.
**[20:51] ---**
I hate that someone who
works so hard was slapped,
**[20:53] Ohana**
and customers were inconvenienced,
**[20:56] Ohana**
all because of me!
**[21:14] Ohana**
Th-Thank you very much!
**[21:18] Ohana**
I-I'm really sorry!
**[21:21] Ohana**
It was my fault.
**[21:22] Minko**
I honestly don't care.
**[21:25] Ohana**
I just can't believe her!
**[21:28] Ohana**
She must be going senile.
**[21:30] Minko**
I can't believe *you.*
**[21:32] Minko**
Do you understand what
it means to work here?
**[21:34] ---**
Or the concept of "work," itself?
**[21:38] Ohana**
Well, I didn't come here to work...
**[21:43] Ohana**
And—
**[21:44] Minko**
You know what,
**[21:46] Minko**
just die.
**[21:53] Ohana**
And we're back to that...
**[22:04] Enishi**
Look at her, toiling away.
**[22:06] Enishi**
Oh, hello?
**[22:07] Enishi**
Enishi here.
**[22:08] Ohana**
I didn't come here to work.
**[22:13] Ohana**
But...
**[22:27] Ohana**
I've never been more upset in my life.
