be punished by the people.

Just like Jesus was punished.

You're looking for your Maria.

And she's somewhere on this Earth.

You'll find her someday.

I'll do my best.

We'll go downtown tomorrow.

Yu, observe carefully.

Hey girls.

What are you doing now?

Do you want to play a match?

Good.

Excellent!

- Do it!

- Yes!

Well done!

Feel the loneliness!

Oh, no! I have to walk

to one side.

It's so dangerous. Get closer.

Yes, you're quite right.

What shall I do?

Walk to one side.

- Good idea.

- Let's do that.

Stop there, women!

Great!

- Good boy!

- Should I sin?

Go ahead and sin!

Yes!

Father!

What?

I took peek-a-panty photos

up girls' skirts.

That is a heinous crime!

Sorry, Dad!

No sins had swayed him, the priest,

until that moment.

He had forgiven other sins but

suddenly he was my father.

Dad...

Hit me more.

- Dad, please hit me again.

- Don't say that.

Hit me! I'll confess more.

- Dad!

- You pervert!

This made me happy.

Like finding something I'd lost.

Like finding Dad again.

I was happy he hit me.

Did you confess to him?

He beat me up and called me

a pervert!

I knew it.

You look happy.

It'll be easy now.

I can do this a million times.

Become erect with your heart.

With all your heart...

An erection from my heart.

With all my heart.

But I didn't get a hard-on.

Impossible.

I'd never had one.

I didn't feel horny.

I have to find Maria

and get a hard-on!

Where is my Maria?

What are you looking at?

You looked up my skirt!

Pervert!

In order to find my Maria...

I tried harder and harder.

You did it again!

Yes!

You, pervert!

I did it again.

Why you...!

It was so easy now.

I could sin any old time.

"65 days to the miracle"

He's incredible.

He's the man.

You're confused.

He's just a pervert.

Father!

Don't come here any more!

So I prayed outside the church.

What did you take a photo of?

What's this? Give it to me.

Let's go to the police.

This one's waterproof.

When it rains, it's like

taking photos under the sea.

Come to the police!

OK, I'm always ready.

Oh yeah? Let's go then.

Wait.

Hey! Come with me!

What were you doing there?

I was praying.

I'm Aya Koike. Who are you?

What's your name?

- What do we do?

- Rescue him!

- Wait!

- Why?

I'm Yu Honda.

- Yu.

- Yes.

You go to high school?

- Yes.

- How old are you?

I 7.

Seventeen.

Are you sorry?

- Yes

- How sorry?

Like I've sinned.

It's my original sin.

Original sin?

You're a Christian.

You're a funny guy.

Yu Honda, I 7 and Christian.

A high school voyeuristic

photo-maniac.

Is this your church?

I always come here to confess

these things.

You're funny.

I'll forgive you too.

If He forgives you, I should too.

See you again.

Incredible.

Did you see that?

He's a real man.

Yu is great.

- I was moved.

- Me too.

We want you to teach us.

We don't have your passion.

We're through with stealing

and fighting.

Please!

Master!

Have you got your cameras?

Attention please.

"The Art of Tosatsu."

Careful, oblivious and bold.

Repeat!

Careful, oblivious and bold!

Good, take your camera...

My life was going through a change.

I felt like I could forget about

God, Dad and stuff...

We all improved very quickly.

You stood on my toe.

- I didn't!

- Get serious!

Listen! All perverts were

created equal.

Let's try again, come on!

Get away from me!

Voyeur photo training...

They are a bunch of morons.

Everyone, finally we're going

downtown tomorrow.

This is what counts.

Do what it tells you to do.

And remember, be careful...

oblivious and bold!

Another great photo day!

We became a tight team.

Yu, standing by!

Yuji, standing by.

Senpai, standing by.

Takahiro, standing by.

A north north-east wind.

Move it up!

If there's a crutch in the east, I'll go.

If there's one in the west, I'll run.

Thanks, I'm "Tag" Yuji.

Nice to meet you.

The art of shoplifting was

somehow similar.

Now.

Just like that.

Now.

I was having the time of my life.

Until one day...

- I'm home...

- There you are.

I'm cooking something delicious.

I was worried because you

stopped coming to church.

There's someone I want you to meet.

Something was about to happen.

Something bad.

Are you sleepy?

Are you okay?

It will take only a few minutes...

Dad was a gentle priest again.

We're given healing powers

without knowing it

Something would happen.

Hi, it's been a while!

You're all grown up.

That woman... Why's she here?

Don't look at me like that.

See you later.

"High school uniforms".

Thank you very much.

Yoko, Yoko!

The girl is her daughter.

Her ex-lover's daughter,

to be exact.

So they're not related?

No.

That slut Kaori will go

back to the priest.

What's your move?

Maybe it's time for our plan.

Drive alongside them.

Gather up the guys.

It's gonna happen soon.

We'll be catching lots of fish.

A whole bunch of suckers.

Let's get to work!

We had a dare and I lost.

Let's commence the weekly meeting.

- Today...

- Hello, boys.

Sis! Close the door!

- Good Afternoon

- Close it now!

Bye now.

There's a man I want you to meet.

Again? I've had enough!

Yoko, wait a minute!

Leave me alone.

Today's the day

we pick the Photo of the Week!

I think I'll beat you, Yu.

You're confident, Takahiro.

Bet your ass.

Stand by!

Very well then.

If your panty photo is

much better than mine...

What will you do?

I'll borrow your sister's clothes

and wear them in public.

That's not enough.

What then?

You walk around in drag and

kiss a girl you like.

And tell her you love her

in a voice like a queer.

I think you already know this but

I won't kiss anyone until

I find my Maria

- Be a man!

- Come on, this is a dare!

- Aren't you confident?

- Show us how manly you are!

Alright, then.

I have my pride as a pervert.

To honour my pride...

I'll do what you say if

yours is better.

Good.

I, 2, 3!

up pedestrian bridge steps.

A whopper!

Check this out.

It's an ultra special royal flush!

I lost...

Here!

Here.

And here!

Well?

Strawberries...

It's unbeatable, I'm the champ!

The loser takes the penalty.

I changed in front of a mirror.

You look sweet!

"3 minutes"

I'm Miss Scorpion,

the lady boss.

Don't laugh!

I walked like a cool chick.

Like a lady boss would walk.

It was funny.

My friends came along to make

sure I went through with it.

Kiss Maria! Kiss Maria!

Kiss Maria! Kiss Maria!

I loved to be in drag.

It made me feel good.

I looked gross in the reflection.

And then

The life-changing event occurred.

Look, what we've got here!

Come with us.

Come with us!

Usually I would have ignored it.

It was none of my business.

Cut it out!

Don't be cruel, come and

play with us.

I'll take you on!

Good, I'll make you sorry!

Come on, come on, come on!

But on that day

Yu, maybe it's your big chance.

I couldn't pass on it.

After all I was the lady boss.

I was just joking!

" I minute"

What is it?

Marry me!

Marry me now!

You scum!

Stay away!

This is my fight!
