Paradise Kiss Page #2

getting bawled out by now.

Gee, thanks!

Maybe I'm not the right girl yet.

Life. I think about lite, too,

you know.

If I had someone I liked with me,

that would be enough.

Someone I loved,

and didn't want anyone else to have.

Just that person being around

makes you stronger.

You can handle stress and hard work,

you can laugh together...

...and be happier.

I think that's all I'd need.

I've said that and you don't get it?

You're really insensitive, you know that?

But why is it...

...the more I get bawled out,

the more I want to hang with them?

Caroline!

Carrie! Hello.

Don't go in there!

Sorry, Caroline. it's OK now.

Your tits are showing.

That's no way to act

in front of a visitor.

I just step out, and...

Blame Arashi.

Are you a couple?

Yeah, it's my job

to tame his sex drive.

Giving lip, taking lip,

being top, being bottom...

...all day long.

Miwako, shut up!

Next time you pay a fine.

A fine?

You're here?

He has such an innocent smile.

That tickles!

Keep still. I can't measure you.

What's that 'Paradise Kiss' thing

on the door?

That's the brand name

the four of us have set up.

'Paradise Kiss'.

We catch on, form a company...

...and make lots of money,

Arashi says.

A company?

I want us to stay together

after we graduate.

We've got test clothes out...

...in consignment stores.

Wouldn't it be great to be

a top brand someday?

I've got Caroline's measurements.

Finally!

She kept moving around!

Show me.

Bust, 83 centimeters...

Hey! You pervert!

Pervert?

That's private!

I need your size for your dress.

I didn't say I'd do it.

Then why are you here?!

Miwako...

...put that on her.

Really?

Yeah.

It should fit, more or less.

I knew she was right.

It's amazing.

It fits perfectly everywhere.

Even though it's for your muse.

'Muse'?

Every designer needs a muse.

That one perfect woman...

About this 'muse' thing...

You don't know who you are.

Nothing.

Did your mother ever slap you?

Mine would hit me

if I didn't get good marks...

...or if I talked back...

...or ii I didn't hold

my chopsticks right.

A kid who grows up like that...

...is always afraid of getting hit,

and never develops any courage.

I failed a test once...

...and I thought she'd leave me

right there in the snow.

Maybe that's why all my life...

...I've never seen any other way

but study, study, study...

...and avoided any responsibility.

People say different things...

Hey, aren't you taking me home?

No, somewhere else.

Where?

A hotel.

Want a shower?

I don't care. You're fine as you are.

For what?

I didn't drag you here.

My brain had stopped working!

Fine.

Just lie still.

Is it someone else's fault

you walked in here?

Like it's your mom's fault

you lack guts?

And our fault you came back?

Now you're saying no

so you can blame this on me.

What do you want to do?!

I want a model, not a puppet.

We'll just do it once for the books.

Keep still.

Do it, then.

I hate you.

That dress of yours

means nothing to me!

My will is in

this frumpy school uniform...

...of one of the country's

best schools.

Do you know how hard

I had to work just to wear it?

I'm proud of it, and I don't see why

I should take attitude from you!

I'll do your modeling for you.

'Morning.

'Morning.

The 1951 Treaty oi San Francisco...

...grew out of the need to procure

materiel for the Korean War.

The USSR and its allies,

though UN members, were excluded...

...and with this separate peace treaty...

...the U.S. gained bases in Japan.

Z Tutorial Academy

Is something wrong?

No, nothing.

Shall we skip out?

I'm sick oi studying, too.

Even you?

Yeah.

Want to go somewhere?

I don't wan! it to be my fault

if you fail.

Oh, well.

Let's both get down to it, then.

Now it's your fault I'm stuck here.

That's Yukari's phone.

It's probably her.

You shouldn't answer it.

I've got something to do.

See you at school.

Are you the one?

The reason she's upset?

Tokumori?

Leave her alone, will you?

Or deal with me.

Tokumori, what are you doing?

Miwako!

You brought my bag! Thanks!

Miwako?

What's going on here?

When we were kids, we lived

in the same apartment complex.

Wow! What a coincidence.

I don't think so.

When Arashi first saw you

in your uniform...

...he knew you went to

the same school as Hiro.

How is he?

He's fine.

Yeah?

He's an old friend, too.

The three of us.

Wait up!

We were together

all through school..

...till I went to Seiei

and they went to Yazademy.

Don't lie. You like Miwako.

Sure I do.

OK, we're going to make

a promise between men.

A promise?

We're never going to

leave Miwako behind.

The first one who leaves

loses her, no matter why.

The one who stays

gets to marry her.

But we went to different schools,

and my parents moved..

...so we didn't see each other much.

Why can't I see Hiro?

We're not kids any more.

Now you're with me.

So what?

Think of how he must feel.

Anyway, don't see him.

Tell him you can't.

I was in the neighborhood,

and thought I'd come see your school.

Where's Arashi?

Miwako?

I'm sorry, Hiro.

I'm Arashi's girlfriend now.

Don't come see me any more, OK?

So Hayasaka's your model?

Exclusively for us.

And George's the designer.

George Koizumi.

Hi. Sorry about before.

This should be OK.

What should?

Meeting as friends.

Do you want to come to the show?

When?

Wait...

I finally understood why my love

had been unrequited for three years.

Tokumori wasn't insensitive,

he just wasn't seeing me.

He was already in love.

With his first love.

Who he still loved

Yukari, can I talk to you?

What?

Your teacher phoned today.

You could even miss out on

your second choice of school.

Could we leave the lecture

till tomorrow, please?

Yukari!

Look, I've got things

on my mind, OK?

I've hired a private tutor.

He starts tomorrow.

it's not long till the exams.

You'll study, all right?

You mean without a break?

It's only a few months.

Without even a day off?

I've been asked to do something.

What?

Model at a fashion show.

Can I?

What are you talking about?

When?

Just before the next mock exam.

They'll need me for fittings, too,

but that won't take long.

So let's forget the tutor.

I can study after the show.

I could quit cram school, too.

I'm not improving,

and it costs money...

Will you ever grow up?!

Why do you hit me?!

Tomorrow...

...you come straight home.

The tutor comes at 7.

I won't be here.

I've had enough of this.

So you've left home?

Yeah. Now what?

Just so you could be in our show?

Yeah. Now what?

First you need a place.

Yeah...

Hey!

And a job. You'll need money.

Yeah...

Hold it!

You'd be a great salesperson!

I would?

Are you guys all stupid?!

Go home and apologize.

Never!

Look, leaving home for us...

...is nice of you, but...

What's wrong with it?

Not you, too!

Thank you. We'll support you

in your brave act.

George!

If you die and go to hell,

that's not our problem.

Thanks a heap.
