[00:01] ---
    My abusive boss damaged my spirit
    and my health, so I changed jobs.
[00:08] ---
    SEVEN-SPICE BLEND
[00:10] ---
    AH
[00:11] ---
    EH?
[00:13] ---
    Those are the toothpicks.
[00:16] ---
    My new boss is goofy.
[00:20] ---
    Momose?
[00:21] ---
    Yes?
[00:23] ---
    He's the type who twirls around so hard,
    he actually goes full circle.
[00:32] ---
    Momose.
[00:34] ---
    M-Mr. Kurono.
[00:39] ---
    Thought you'd escape me,
    huh, Momose?
[00:53] ---
    I thought I just heard Momose's voice.
[00:57] ---
    No, I was just hearing things.
[01:03] ---
    The new chocolate product that I got
    from my client yesterday.
[01:07] ---
    I'll get Momose's opinion, too.
[01:15] ---
    No chocolate for you, all right?
    It would poison you.
[01:20] ---
    Is that right?
[01:23] ---
    Stay like that for a second.
[01:28] ---
    Are you taking my picture?
[01:30] ---
    Stay like that.
[01:32] ---
    You don't have to take my picture.
[01:38] ---
    Go off to work already.
[01:40] ---
    My new boss is goofy.
[01:43] ---
    But...
[01:46] ---
    To this day, I'm still...
[01:48] ---
    not over the trauma
    of dealing with my old boss.
[03:24] ---
    EPISODE 06
    EX-BOYFRIEND? EX-BOYFRIEND?? EX-BOYFRIEND???
[03:33] ---
    Thought you'd escape me,
    huh, Momose?
[03:37] ---
    Hey, is that the proposal
    you pushed through for the first time?
[03:42] ---
    Kinjo!
[03:44] ---
    Yeah. The client approved it for use,
    but they just told me
[03:48] ---
    that they want additional ideas.
[03:51] ---
    So you're struggling
    to come up with those ideas?
[03:53] ---
    Uh, no, not really.
[04:00] ---
    Oh, um...
[04:02] ---
    Hm? What's up?
[04:04] ---
    Uh, actually, nothing. Sorry.
    I'm going to go take a break.
[04:16] ---
    Did something happen
    between you and Manager?
[04:18] ---
    I don't think it's anything, but...
[04:20] ---
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH (READ)
[04:20] ---
    TODAY
    
    I'D LIKE TO CONSULT YOU
    ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL PROPOSALS.
    
    AS YOUR MEETING SEEMS TO BE
    RUNNING LATE, I'LL BE GOING
    TO LUNCH NOW.
[04:20] ---
    Manager hasn't been reading
    my texts all morning.
[04:25] ---
    When Mr. Kurono's in a bad mood...
[04:28] ---
    When I leave you on unread
    it's because you're annoying me!
[04:31] ---
    Don't talk to me! Try to figure out
    why you pissed me off!
[04:36] ---
    Even though I know that Manager
    would never say anything like that.
[04:39] ---
    Why hasn't he read my texts?
[04:42] ---
    Could it be that he hates me?
[04:44] ---
    Did I mess up somehow, maybe?
[04:47] ---
    He was in a meeting all morning,
    so I bet he just didn't notice them.
[04:51] ---
    Let me try texting him.
[05:01] ---
    Manager's smartphone?
[05:01] ---
    TWO NEW MESSAGES
[05:03] ---
    What's going on here?
[05:04] ---
    All right, quiz time!
[05:06] ---
    Manager's smartphone
    is in the fridge. But why?
[05:14] ---
    It overheated after he recharged it,
    so he's trying to cool it off, or something?
[05:17] ---
    Manager has a cold today,
    so he's got a fever?
[05:20] ---
    It's for cooling off his forehead?
[05:22] ---
    Or it could be a secret lifehack.
    Cooling it gives you better battery life?
[05:26] ---
    I didn't know about that lifehack!
[05:27] ---
    Sorry. That was just random.
[05:29] ---
    Momose?
[05:30] ---
    Oh, uh, Manager!
[05:32] ---
    Is something the matter?
[05:33] ---
    You were acting a little strange before.
[05:35] ---
    No, no, it's your smartphone, Manager.
[05:38] ---
    Smartphone?
[05:39] ---
    My smartphone's right here.
[05:44] ---
    So you put your smartphone in the fridge
    instead of that chocolate bar, right?
[05:50] ---
    After that, the three of us ate
    that slightly-melted chocolate bar.
[05:57] ---
    Aren't you going to get
    your smartphone fixed, Manager?
[06:00] ---
    Well, there are certain reasons
    why I can't change it.
[06:04] ---
    Hey, you're on Enstagram too, Manager?
[06:07] ---
    Uh, yeah. I just started the other day.
[06:11] ---
    It's a journal of Hakutou's growth.
[06:13] ---
    This is today's Hakutou.
[06:15] ---
    Wow! I'm going to follow you!
[06:17] ---
    Me, too!
[06:19] ---
    So you're on Enstagram too, Momose?
[06:21] ---
    Well, not that I ever post
    my own photos. I just browse.
[06:25] ---
    No one will follow me.
[06:28] ---
    Chief!
[06:32] ---
    FOLLOWER
[06:33] ---
    Number of followers... One.
[06:35] ---
    Oh, that's me.
[06:37] ---
    Follower Number 1 Shirosaki.
[06:38] ---
    - Then I'll be your Number 2!
    - And I'll be Number 3!
[06:53] ---
    It's time I really forget
    about my old boss.
[07:02] ---
    Drinking honey wine with Kumattechan
    while eating honey mascarpone.
[07:08] ---
    Kinjo had pork cutlets for lunch, huh?
[07:12] ---
    And Manager?
[07:23] ---
    Seems like Chief Aoyama and the Manager's
    meeting is running late again,
[07:27] ---
    so want to go to lunch together?
[07:28] ---
    Sure.
[07:31] ---
    Let's eat on that bench over there.
[07:35] ---
    Want to sit on my handkerchief?
[07:37] ---
    N-No, I'm good.
[07:38] ---
    Isn't that what you do on dates?
[07:40] ---
    I was just kidding.
[07:42] ---
    I still can't get a handle
    on Kinjo's personality.
[07:46] ---
    This will be a good opportunity
    to get to know him better.
[07:50] ---
    Hey! That cloud
    looks just like Kumattechan!
[07:55] ---
    I'm putting it up on Enstagram.
[07:59] ---
    And... posted.
[08:01] ---
    I already got a like from the chief.
    Are they done with their meeting?
[08:05] ---
    You've got all kinds of people on your
    Enstagram, huh? Are they your friends?
[08:10] ---
    Well, a lot of them are old guys I met in bars,
    and a whole bunch of strangers.
[08:15] ---
    Oh, and also my ex-girlfriend.
[08:17] ---
    I never look back
    at my old posts, so I totally forgot.
[08:20] ---
    You think I should delete them?
[08:23] ---
    This is another ex of mine.
[08:24] ---
    I texted her too much
    and she dumped me after three days.
[08:28] ---
    This one's my ex-boyfriend.
[08:30] ---
    Ex-boyfriend?
[08:30] ---
    EX-BOYFRIEND?
[08:31] ---
    This is my mom.
[08:31] ---
    Ex-boyfriend??
[08:31] ---
    EX-BOYFRIEND?
[08:33] ---
    And this is the family dog.
[08:34] ---
    Ex-boyfriend???
[08:35] ---
    Hey, and this is...
    Are you still with me?
[08:38] ---
    Oh, sorry! So who is that?
[08:41] ---
    My abusive boss at my old company.
[08:44] ---
    What? You two look so close.
[08:47] ---
    This guy thinks you have to be strict
    so your subordinates will grow.
[08:51] ---
    He thought the carrot-and-stick
    approach is crucial.
[08:54] ---
    He was my over-the-top, gung-ho,
    anachronistic abusive boss.
[08:58] ---
    This photo was taken during carrot time.
[09:00] ---
    When he got drunk, he'd lecture me
    forever, but I wanted to go home.
[09:04] ---
    True, if you look close,
    his eyes are lifeless.
[09:09] ---
    I felt that his style of training
    was wrong,
[09:12] ---
    but maybe it was my fault for
    not producing great results like him.
[09:17] ---
    If only I tried harder, maybe
    my boss would change, too.
[09:20] ---
    All I wanted was for him
    to acknowledge me.
[09:23] ---
    I told myself that, and gave it my best shot.
[09:26] ---
    But his verbal abuse started escalating,
    and then he started hitting me.
[09:31] ---
    That habit he had of ruffling my hair
    like this whenever he praised me...
[09:36] ---
    I started thinking
    that I was gonna get punched.
[09:38] ---
    "I can't take it anymore."
    Just when that thought crossed my mind...
[09:42] ---
    I met you and Manager,
    and decided to change jobs.
[09:47] ---
    The day I left that company,
[09:50] ---
    when I told him
    my honest reason for quitting,
[09:54] ---
    he didn't say a word.
[09:59] ---
    I've lost all touch with him since then,
[10:02] ---
    and he's stopped reacting
    to my Enstagram posts
[10:04] ---
    so I have no idea what he's thinking.
[10:07] ---
    But if my quitting
[10:09] ---
    turned him into a boss who can have empathy
    for his subordinates, that would make me happy.
[10:14] ---
    Your old boss seems like
    he was competent at his job,
[10:18] ---
    so it's just a feeling I'm getting,
    but I bet he's turned over a new leaf.
[10:22] ---
    Momose, you're too nice!
    Love you.
[10:26] ---
    My old boss would never turn over a new leaf,
    even if the universe was turned upside down.
[10:33] ---
    You know, I was worried what my old boss
    would think if he saw my posts,
[10:38] ---
    so I've never uploaded any pictures
    of the people at this company.
[10:42] ---
    There's no way he's looking
    at my Enstagram feed, right?
[10:47] ---
    So anyway...
[10:48] ---
    - Let's post one!
    - Okay!
[10:54] ---
    Chief! When did you get here?
[10:56] ---
    You, too, Manager!
[10:59] ---
    Since you were deep in conversation,
[11:00] ---
    we were waiting
    for the right moment to join you.
[11:02] ---
    While eating rice balls.
[11:04] ---
    Tight fit.
[11:06] ---
    Want half of my popsicle?
[11:07] ---
    Are you sure?
[11:09] ---
    I know! Let's take a picture
    of the four of us for Enstagram!
[11:12] ---
    Twinkle!
[11:17] ---
    All right, posted!
[11:18] ---
    Hey, liked already!
[11:20] ---
    Was that you again, Chief?
[11:24] ---
    It's from Mr. Haijima.
[11:25] ---
    Who's that?
[11:27] ---
    My old boss.
[11:29] ---
    A celebratory like...
[11:31] ---
    HAIJIMA AND OTHERS LIKED THIS.
[11:41] ---
    Good thing you didn't spread that hankie
    under my butt, right?
[11:54] ---
    About the additional proposals...
[11:57] ---
    Here's a proposal geared towards having
    young couples going on dates here.
[12:01] ---
    And this one puts
    more geeky information on display,
[12:04] ---
    such as the ecology of marine life,
    in order to target your core customers.
[12:11] ---
    I like both proposals.
[12:13] ---
    But while I know
    it might be asking too much...
[12:16] ---
    We'd be happiest with a proposal
    that doesn't have a specific target,
[12:20] ---
    and will make everyone
    who comes here happy.
[12:23] ---
    I see. A proposal showing how everyone, from
    grownups to children, can have a good time.
[12:30] ---
    From grownups to children...
[12:32] ---
    Do you have any ideas
    for a proposal like that?
[12:36] ---
    I know. A quiz...
[12:39] ---
    What about a quiz based on
    all the creatures in this aquarium?
[12:43] ---
    A quiz?
[12:45] ---
    Right. If we change the difficulty level,
[12:47] ---
    everyone from grownups to children
    will have fun with it, right?
[12:53] ---
    That's a great idea!
[12:55] ---
    Thank you very much.
[12:58] ---
    NIKORI
[13:02] ---
    That was a good response.
[13:04] ---
    It's thanks to your support, Manager.
[13:06] ---
    No, it's probably because
    you're giving it your all.
[13:09] ---
    Manager!
[13:11] ---
    Should we call it a day
    and go straight home?
[13:18] ---
    I hope we can create an ad
    that those kids will enjoy, too.
[13:23] ---
    You're making such a racket!
    Pipe down!
[13:26] ---
    How many times do I have to tell you?
[13:28] ---
    What's wrong, Momose?
[13:30] ---
    N-Nothing.
    My old boss really hated kids, so...
[13:37] ---
    Yay! I'm first!
[13:39] ---
    No fair!
[13:40] ---
    You're not supposed to run!
[13:45] ---
    You need to shut the hell up,
    you miserable twerps!
[13:50] ---
    I just realized that at my old company,
[13:51] ---
    creating kid-friendly ads
    never even crossed my mind.
[13:56] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry for going off like that.
[13:59] ---
    Let me text the office to let them know
    we're heading straight home.
[14:01] ---
    Hey, you! Stop that right now!
[14:15] ---
    Sorry to make you come with me
    to a place like this.
[14:19] ---
    It's fine. Aside from that,
    are you all right, Momose?
[14:23] ---
    Yes. I was just thinking about
    getting a new smartphone anyway.
[14:27] ---
    I'm not talking about your smartphone.
[14:32] ---
    I'm fine, really.
[14:35] ---
    That teacher was yelling so loud
    that it startled me, that's all.
[14:41] ---
    Not good.
[14:42] ---
    I don't want him to think
    that I'm a pathetic loser
[14:45] ---
    who can't get over the trauma
    of an old boss.
[14:50] ---
    I'm fine!
[14:56] ---
    OCTOBER 3
[14:57] ---
    Hey, Momose,
    you have a new smartphone!
[15:00] ---
    Yeah.
[15:01] ---
    Lucky you! That's the latest model.
[15:04] ---
    I also upgraded my phone
    the other day, but no one's noticed.
[15:08] ---
    I know that nobody has any interest
    in my phone—
[15:11] ---
    Chief! Your smartphone's cool, too!
[15:13] ---
    Next time I upgrade,
    I'll get the same model as you!
[15:16] ---
    Really? The same as mine?
    Wanna live with me?
[15:20] ---
    I'm gonna pass on living with you!
[15:22] ---
    Excuse me, Manager.
[15:23] ---
    I've thought up some questions for the quiz
    we talked about yesterday.
[15:27] ---
    Like what?
[15:28] ---
    It has a beak, is a good swimmer,
    walks upright,
[15:32] ---
    and lives in the aquarium. What is it?
[15:38] ---
    A kappa?
[15:42] ---
    Kappa. In the aquarium, right?
[15:45] ---
    Oh, a penguin?
[15:47] ---
    After I switched jobs,
    I got a great new boss,
[15:51] ---
    and I was entrusted
    with work that's worth doing.
[15:54] ---
    Kinjo, who also switched jobs
    because of power harassment
[15:57] ---
    is starting to get over
    what happened in the past.
[16:01] ---
    But I'm the only one.
    When am I ever going to...
[16:11] ---
    Looks like the additional proposals
    for the aquarium are going to go well, too.
[16:15] ---
    Yes!
[16:17] ---
    I'm sorry. It's my phone.
[16:19] ---
    Go ahead and take the call.
[16:21] ---
    MR. KURONO
[16:21] ---
    FORMER BOSS
[16:25] ---
    But how? I thought I blocked him.
[16:29] ---
    Did changing my phone
    disable the block?
[16:33] ---
    HUMAN RESOURCES
[16:33] ---
    Is it all right if I block
    my direct supervisor after I've resigned?
[16:38] ---
    What? Oh, sure.
[16:41] ---
    MR. KURONO
[16:41] ---
    They've assigned someone else to call me
    if they need to ask about work.
[16:45] ---
    So he's definitely calling me
    to complain about my quitting.
[16:50] ---
    I mean, for me to get his call
    as soon as the block was removed...
[16:53] ---
    Just how many times
    has he been calling till now?
[17:00] ---
    My stomach is killing me.
[17:04] ---
    Are you all right? Should I go buy
    some stomach medicine?
[17:07] ---
    I'm sorry. I'll be fine.
[17:09] ---
    For now, let's go sit on that bench.
[17:12] ---
    Oh, my briefcase.
[17:14] ---
    S-Sorry!
[17:16] ---
    Huh? Oh.
[17:25] ---
    Just another ten steps. You can do it.
[17:27] ---
    He's so kind!
[17:29] ---
    He led me to the bench by hand.
[17:37] ---
    My stomach feels a little better now.
[17:41] ---
    I'm getting another call from him.
[17:50] ---
    I'm sorry.
[17:51] ---
    It's all right.
    I'm worried, so I'm taking you home.
[18:14] ---
    The sunset was beautiful.
[18:18] ---
    That was out of the blue.
    I thought it might cheer you up.
[18:24] ---
    You did cheer me up!
[18:26] ---
    I'm glad.
[18:30] ---
    I got these cracks on my smartphone
    the day you started at our company.
[18:35] ---
    Huh? You did?
[18:37] ---
    Yeah. There was a lot going on.
[18:41] ---
    When I went to get your medicine,
[18:43] ---
    I was in such a panic, I dropped it.
[18:49] ---
    I was going to get the screen fixed,
    but the more time went on...
[18:54] ---
    I realized that you'd switched jobs
    having sustained as many scars as this phone.
[19:00] ---
    And so I started seeing it
    more and more...
[19:04] ---
    as a mini Momose.
[19:07] ---
    I'm in pain!
[19:10] ---
    And then it hit me that I wanted
    to take care of both this mini-Momose,
[19:15] ---
    and the real you so that
    you wouldn't get any more scars.
[19:20] ---
    Manager.
[19:23] ---
    That's why I'm not changing my phone.
[19:25] ---
    This is all pretty heavy, isn't it? Sorry.
[19:29] ---
    No, you really cheered me up.
[19:32] ---
    And I think I can muster the courage
    to confront my scars.
[19:36] ---
    I have Manager on my side.
    I have nothing to fear!
[19:40] ---
    Not even Mr. Kurono's call!
[19:42] ---
    Manager? Driver?
    Is it all right if I make a call?
[19:46] ---
    - Yeah.
    - Go right ahead!
[19:49] ---
    MR. KURONO
    CALLING...
[19:50] ---
    Momose, I can't believe
    you quit, damn it!
[19:53] ---
    He picked up on the first ring!
[19:54] ---
    Without thanking me for all I did
    for you, no less! You mocking me?
[19:59] ---
    Thank him? But I did.
[20:01] ---
    You're quitting?
[20:02] ---
    Thank you for looking after me
    for so long.
[20:04] ---
    If you quit, I'll beat the crap out of you!
[20:06] ---
    Not that he was listening...
[20:08] ---
    Listen, you! Don't think you can escape!
[20:11] ---
    Useless losers like you are the same
    no matter where they go!
[20:14] ---
    Even if you change jobs,
    the same thing will happen.
[20:16] ---
    Your boss will only see you
    as a useless, pain in the—
[20:18] ---
    I don't think that at all.
[20:20] ---
    Momose is competent,
    and I value him as my subordinate.
[20:23] ---
    Manager.
[20:25] ---
    Sorry. I couldn't help it.
[20:27] ---
    Who's that next to you?
[20:28] ---
    I'm Momose's boss, Shirosaki.
[20:31] ---
    He says you're competent?
    What a total moron of a boss!
[20:35] ---
    Manager, a moron?
[20:38] ---
    Mr. Kurono.
[20:41] ---
    I'd like to belatedly express my gratitude.
[20:44] ---
    Because you were the worst
    possible boss to me, Mr. Kurono,
[20:48] ---
    it led me to meeting Manager Shirosaki,
    the best boss in the world!
[20:52] ---
    Thank you very much!
[20:53] ---
    MR. KURONO
[20:53] ---
    Damn you, Momose! Don't think
    you could get away with this!
[20:57] ---
    You just wait!
    I know where you live, you know!
[21:00] ---
    I'm gonna head over to your place
    right now, so—
[21:09] ---
    Right before I hung up on him, he was screaming
    that he was heading over to my place.
[21:14] ---
    I'm going to move right now.
[21:16] ---
    But I don't have the money to move.
[21:19] ---
    Then...
[21:21] ---
    Momose. Wanna move in with me?
    Starting today.
[21:25] ---
    PERSON #1 WHO BECAME SLIGHTLY UNHINGED
    DUE TO THE FORMER BOSS'S CALL
[21:27] ---
    No, no, I couldn't impose on you like that.
[21:30] ---
    Are you sure it's okay?
[21:31] ---
    PERSON #2 WHO BECAME SLIGHTLY UNHINGED
    DUE TO THE FORMER BOSS'S CALL
[21:34] ---
    I'll be happy to help you
    transport your stuff!
[21:36] ---
    PERSON #3 WHO BECAME SLIGHTLY UNHINGED
    DUE TO THE FORMER BOSS'S CALL
[21:39] ---
    What should we do about the move-in soba?
[21:40] ---
    I'll make soba! I've got a soba-making kit!
[21:43] ---
    Then I'll deep-fry the tempura!
[21:45] ---
    For dessert, we'll have millet dumplings!
[21:46] ---
    Millet dumplings! Like Momotaro!
[21:47] ---
    Thanks to that call from my old boss,
    we all became slightly unhinged.
[23:25] ---
    Momose? The curry's done.
[23:27] ---
    I'll be right there.
[23:29] ---
    What's the matter?
[23:31] ---
    I forgot to cook the rice.
[23:34] ---
    This is how my life as Manager's roommate
    began all of a sudden.
