Yokomichi Yonosuke Page #2

---

You're just getting started

Why decide your life now?

But...

I don't know what she told you,

but my wife and I met in college.

This isn't the same

Sir, the kid's not an idiot

You stay out of this

It's true I didn't finish high school,

but I'm...

going to save up and open my own shop

So what? It doesn't matter!

Sir, please...

Tomoyo's still in junior high

She needs to experience things

All I'm asking is that you let her

think about her life

Where's Tomoyo?

In her room

Has she eaten?

She'll be eating by tomorrow

- Want rice?

- Not yet

By the way...

I went to lchigaya for work today

I had time so I walked to the university

The campus has all these tall buildings now

Yeah, I saw on the Internet

And you know what?

All of a sudden,

I remembered Yokomichi

Yokomichi... Oh, Yonosuke?

Right, Yonosuke

Man, haven't seen him in ages

Wonder how he's doing

Actually, we sort of met because of him

Wait, did we?

Remember when we went to

that samba training camp?

Oh, I remember

I was in the bath with him

when I told him about us

Told him what?

About what?

What was it?

I forgot

Silly

You a student?

Yes, sir

Party while you can

Yes, sir

Here's your room, sir

After you

Getting the hang of it?

More or less

Got a fat tip, huh?

Don't tell boss. He'll take it

Do you get big tips, too?

Sometimes, but after a while

you won't want to work anymore

Here you go

Welcome

You're late, man

- What's that?

- Mm?

This suit?

Installment payment

Hello

- Coffee, babe

- Yes, sir

What is this place anyway, mm?

This? A joint that's popular

with girls in the biz

Biz? What business?

You know, models, budding actresses...

Buddin?

So stop fidgeting

It's embarrassing

You're embarrassing

I study media, remember?

My colleague and I went

around to talent agencies

We just got back from

Sony Records, you know?

We spoke to the manager,

and what can I say?

He's totally interested in our event

My colleague Kinoshita-san

is unstoppable right now

Hey, are you listenin?

Wait, is that...?

Is that what?

You know her?

Yeah, well, kind of

Anyway, I'm thinking of starting a club

that puts on dance parties

Enough about you

Who is she?

A socialite that preys on men

A party girl, as they say

What's a party girl, mm?

You know, like...

They irt with guys,

show up at parties...

Mysterious figures

They irt, mm?

They're mysterious, mm?

Yeah

Her name's Chiharu Katase, sort of famous

My friend from back home...

You...

Uh, yes?

Interested in a gig?

Mind if I borrow him?

- No, uh... what?

- Come with me

okay

You're going?

I guess I'm going

Wait, you're going?

Here's your coffee

Hey, did something happen?

You need to come to practice.

The parade's coming up

Parade? What parade?

The samba parade, of course

Oh, samba

Not really in the mood for samba right now

Say, where's Kuramochi?

Haven't seen him lately

Well, you see, he refuses to leave my room

Why? Is he depressed?

Quite the opposite, I think

Kuramochi is lucky

He falls in love with someone

his age... so much easier

What? What're you talking about?

Wanna hear it?

- No, long story, right?

- I'll make it short

No, gotta go to my next class

Hey, wait just a minute

Listen, I've got a little

girl trouble going on...

- Did You eat lunch?

- No

Shall we eat together, then?

I'll return the 50 yen I borrowed

I'm sorry, but I don't know you

Wait, didn't you loan me 50 yen

at the cafeteria once?

No

Remember? I was short 50 yen,

so you noticed and...

- not me

- Not you?

You got the wrong guy

Wanna have lunch anyway?

Wait, what's your name?

Well, I'm Kato

Cool, I'm Yokomichi

Hang on, Kato. I'll get my bag

Let's go

So are you going to explain

about your "pinky?"

Pinky?

Who said anything about my pinky?

Kato, were you even listening to me?

Well, not really

So you see, this Chiharu-san told me...

that I need to become a real man

I really meant it

'With the company in this state,

I'm willing to abandon everything

and elope with you

It's true I can't promise

I can make you happy, but...

But still,

if I'm going to be unhappy, I'd rather...

I'd rather be with you

Please, not in front of my brother

Here, and here

Sign them

Sign them

Thanks, you were great

All I did was sit there

It's fine, it was all I needed

So you're a student?

Uh, yes, and I also work here

Oh, you do?

Maybe we'll meet again

Uh, yes

By then, you'd better

have become a real man

A real man?

Yeah

A man I could fall for

Let me tell you, since

we're not even friends...

What? We're friends now, right?

Uh, well, whatever the case...

A woman that toys with a BMW-driving guy.

Seems to be out of your league

She's not toying with him

The BMW guy is just head over heels for her

- You got a driver's license?

- No

Without a license, you don't have a chance

I better get going

I guess you're right

I guess I need a license, at least

Hey, you know...

Wanna get a license for real?

Why?

I was thinking of taking driving lessons

There's a discount for referring friends

5% off for both of us, pretty good

But are we friends?

We're friends

We're friends, huh?

You don't sweat at all

Don't touch me with your sweaty hands

What?

You know her?

She approached me yesterday

Why?

She asked me on a date

No way, impossible!

What does that mean?

She said to bring a friend. Wanna come?

You mean, a double date?

It's gotta be a trap.

It's too good to be true

Fine, I'll tell her no

No, don't do that! I didn't say no

Weren't you into a certain "pinky?"

Man, a double date...

You better get it nice and organized

Fine, I'll do it,

but I'm not really into girls

Yeah, right

Stop acting like you're so cool

I'll come over today

Huh? Why?

- You have air conditioning?

- Yeah

- I don't

- Not my problem. Now turn around

You sweat all over the desk

You're such a dork

I do samba and stuff

Oh, I see, that's nice

About Kato-san...

Kato-san

Oh, right, Kato

What is he like?

What's he like?

You know, he's pretty much

the same all the time

All the time...?

Which is... like how, exactly?

Well, I guess, like, if

you ask him a question,

he'll answer you

If he asks a question occasionally,

you know, I answer back

When an opinion is requested,

it's met with a response

Kato, you're late, man. I was waiting

Hello

Where's your friend?

She should be here soon

She's always on the dot

I see

What?

She's here

Thanks

Good day to you

Good day to you

Hello, ma'am

Doing well?

What if it's not a good day?

How should I know?

- That's not her dad, is it?

- He's the driver

- Like in the movies.

- Shut up

My old friend, Shoko Yosano

Hi, I'm Kato

Kato-san

Oh, I'm Yonosuke Yokomichi

You shouldn't...

A wonderful name, with alliteration

Anyway, shall we go?

Hi, table for four

Sorry, we're pretty full

We can seat you separately, though

Should we try another place?

I'm fine sitting separately

Well?

I'm quite fine as well

Hi, can I order something?
