After the cult is exposed by the police, Ai starts a new, normal life going to a regular middle school, but can't find a place to fit in normal society. Ai drops out to continue finding her path in life, first living with a rock-bottom delinquent family, then moving on to be part of a middle-class family, all along trying to find her place in this world. The only person who understands Ai is Ryota (Kenta Suga), another drop-out and cast-off from society. Ryota finds his path in a shady world of delinquents while Ai ends up working in the sex industry. Two teens' purity gets swallowed up by the urban jungle of a big regional city. A black comedy depicting lives of modern youth and their struggles in a place where there is no way out.

He looked just like a Yakuza.

Which school?

- Kita High.

- Kita, yeah?

Do you know Fujii from year 11?

I don't think so.

You don't know?

- He left school 'coz you bullied him.

- Oh yeah!

She's Chee, still in a middle school.

She looked like a

club hostess to me.

Sit over here.

Ai found a new place

to fit in, here.

F***ing stinks.

She is their mother.

She had a tough life

becoming a mother at 14.

And she is a fearless

gambler who pours

all her benefits

into slot machines.

For the first time in Ai's life,

she felt a sense of unity

as a part of the family.

Family should stand by each other.

Where have they gone?

Er... Work?

Work...

Yep!

- Yes?

- Um,

is Miharu home?

She's out now.

Hey, let's go.

Give me a second.

I'm Yuka, Miharu's classmate.

Can you give her a message?

Yes.

What's up?

All her classmates wish Miharu

to come back to school.

Please tell her to be brave

and come to school.

Gotcha.

Hey, forget about Miharu.

This place scares me.

- I feel sorry for her, though.

- Who cares?

Anyway, do you know who he is?

Isn't he from Kita High?

He's so cool!

I wanna get to know him.

This place is crazy.

Why don't you leave?

This is all I have.

One starts, the rest follow.

Like animals, huh?

Hey, Ai.

Sorry, Ryota.

I was convinced that for Ai,

no, for us both,

we needed a place

where we belong.

Doesn't matter where.

We just needed

somewhere to belong.

Ouch, ouch, ouch...

Ouch, ouch...

You won't get away with this!

Bark like a dog,

if you wanna go.

F*** off!

You think you can run, idiot?

Wait.

Hey you dropped your hat.

Are you okay?

What's this?

- One!

- Get down!

Did you touch my camera bag?

Huh? So What?

The lens is very expensive.

Did you break it?

What the hell?

C'mon we're off.

Hey, lady.

Untie us, will you?

You don't know

when to stop, do ya?

You idiot.

Oh Well.

Oh well? That's not an answer.

Mr. Kida, Hisaya Kida.

Please take this

payment slip with you.

What is that?

Unemployment benefit.

Continuous employment

benefit for the elderly

Wide area job seeking

activity expenses.

Support system for job seekers.

Housing support benefit.

Japan is heaven for the elderly.

You'd better get old quickly.

Being old is great.

What else have I got?

Collecting welfare benefits,

then to the hospital, Boss.

Something wrong?

Keep searching for any

illnesses for a rainy day.

Kenta.

Yakuza are cool.

Yakuza are there to use without

being one yourself, idiot.

Yeah.

Yes?

Out of my WHY!

You're Haruki, eh?

Chika? Who the hell are ya?

- Manami, Chika's best friend.

- And?

Chika knows you are

cheating on her.

- I broke up with Chika.

- Huh?

- So.

- Huh?

She didn't break up with ya!

- Tough.

- Don't talk sh*t, prick.

Who the f*** is calling my

brother a prick, you b*tch!

Wanna fight, eh?

Who the hell are ya?

Manami from Nishi High!

That Manami...?

Ken's girlfriend?

- Yeah.

- I see.

Well, you could have

mentioned that before...

Chika is Ken's sister.

Be aware of the family connection

to avoid a sticky situation.

Geez, Chika. I never wanted

to break up with you.

But Ai insisted.

She didn't give a sh*t.

Is that true?

What?

You made him

ditch her, slut!

I'm gonna kill myself.

What the hell!

Don't be silly.

I won't let you get away!

Come on.

Hmm...

Gonna get some smokes.

Ai's first love left town

straight away.

No! No!

I know what you did to Sis.

You stole him from Chika,

you gotta pay!

Are you serious, Chika?

She deserves it.

She'll die.

I want her dead.

How 'bout a vote?

Battered?

Dead?

Alive?

Kill her!

Die, b*tch!

Let's get started.

I was up against 60 armed

guys with baseball bats.

Me, alone in my vest, no armour.

Guess what happened?

What happened?

- I took them all down!

- No way, respect!

I donated all the baseball bats

to a batting cage.

Who the hell are ya...

Wanna piece of me?

Don't you know who I am?

I'm yakuza!

Do I look like I care?

Wait, you'll be in a deep sh*t

if someone finds out.

You are getting on

Kenta's nerve.

- Kenta?

- That's him.

- You mean, Kenta Kitagawa?

- I told ya.

- Brother.

- Agh, get off!

Kill them all, you're yakuza.

Shut up, Chika!

- Where's Ai?

- That way.

- Manami, help me.

- Shut up.

- Ai!

- Hello!

Ai!

This must be the place.

- Hello!

- Ai!

Ai!

C'mon, Ai!

Ai!

Hey, Ai.

Are you alright?

Wait, Ai.

Where will Ai go from here?

Perhaps, it's only a

dead-end ahead.

Excuse me.

You were at Miharu's, right?

What are you doing here?

Look at you.

Are you okay?

I'm going on a picnic

with my parents.

Why don't you come?

Come with us.

Get in.

I know you're tough,

but Russians are tough too.

I think we are alike

in attitude.

They're the real deal.

Ken, look up Russia, space, fight

on YouTube. You'll see loads.

I wanna smoke.

Though I like Russians, I reckon

I could aim to go above them.

Shut it! What d'you know

about Russians, eh?

Wait, stop over there.

Huh?

- What?

- Move!

- What, what?

- What's wrong, Ken?

What is it?

I'll carry the tank.

- What's up, Ken?

- Her?

Got some money?

That's it.

- Yuji.

- I'm broke.

Not again.

What? Who?

Here.

For the camera lens.

Mita Residence

What is it?

Stew.

- Not again.

- Why not?

It's good for you.

Cute.

Take a seat.

Here.

A new place, a new family

and a new Ai.

Let's eat.

Don't be shy.

Hey, Dad.

Morn. Have you thought about it?

I'm not sure what her

parents think of this.

But Darling,

she's been left alone.

How could they? Even though

they work abroad?

Let her stay with us, until

her parents get back?

I always wanted a big sister.

I wish...

I could be a part of

Yuka's family, too.

Ai wished to stay with this

family for good.

Ai found a group of friends

as well as the new home

You're cute.

- Boyfriend?

- Not really.

- How was the bath?

- Great!

- Nice. Come again.

- Yep.

You look happy.

Do I?

Yeah.

That was you!

- No, it's you.

- I got a tiny one,

but his is minute.

Unbelievable!

I could barely see it.

His dick is tiny.

Will you...

wait for me until I'm out?

Sorry, it slipped out.

This is bad.

I keep losing.

Your turn Ai.

- No way.

- You can win.

Rock, paper, scissors!

Again!

I take underwater pictures.

Uh-huh.

Would you like one?

- This one is very close.

- Uh-huh.

This one looks cool,

it's like bonsai.

But, why fish? What for'?

I work at a fisheries lab, I find

trout's spawning grounds.

To eat, right?

No.

See you.

Isn't this funny?

No, don't touch it.

- Wrong.

- Darling.

Hi, join us, Ai.

Look! Wanna see a bit?

- Good morning.

- Morning.

Are you alone?

Yeah, Mom and Yuka went out.

Care for a massage?

No, it's okay.

I'm very good at it.

This way.

Over here.

You are very kind, Ai.

Yuka doesn't wanna

touch the 'old man.'

What's wrong?

You're not my real father,

but you've been so kind to me.

Can I call you Dad?

Of course.

Thank you.

Rock, paper, scissors!

Look this way!

Rock, paper, scissors!
