01x01 - The Light that Shines through the Darkness

[bunniefuu]

It was two years ago.

I never wanna even think about it again.

THROB

THROB
I've always had a crush on you,
ever since my first year.

THROB

THROB

THROB
Hey, listen.

Hey, listen.

I hate ugly girls.

I hate ugly girls.

g irls .
I hate ugly girls.

I hate ugly girls.

I hate ugly girls.
I hate ugly girls.

Ah, on the nights that I think of you

In the midst of the sweet-scented breeze

I can feel soothing tenderness

Pass through me

The Wallflower

It hurts because I know painfully well

That it will be sad when the conversation ends

Now I've detached myself

From the freedom called loneliness

Ah, on the nights that I think of you

In the midst of the sweet-scented breeze

I can feel soothing tenderness

Pass through me

You b*stards!

Keep it down, Kyohei.

What's going on?

That's what I want to ask!

How can you be so calm?!

It's today, right? That girl is supposed
to come today, right?

Was she?

A few days earlier...
Was she?

A few days earlier...

earlier...

There's something I'd like to ask of you.

What is it? What's with the formality?

Actually, I've decided to have my
niece move into this mansion.

Lucky us! A girl, huh?

And? And?

And I would like to ask you all to train
her to be a respectable lady.

Bullshit! Why do we have to do that?

If you can successfully turn my niece
Sunako into a lovely lady...

all your living expenses will be free!

What?

Really?

You'd better not be lying!

However!

If you fail, your rent will triple.
What do you say?

We will do it!

Good, now I can take off without any worries.

Huh? Take off?

What do you mean by that?

A woman can't survive in a place without love!

She didn't answer the question.

Now, I'm off on a journey around the world
in search of a great love!

Take care of the rest for me!

Adios, amigos!

She's something else...

This is no time to be impressed!

Don't worry!

Yukinojo

We've got Ranmaru with us after all!
Yukinojo

Exactly, we're about to welcome
a sweet-smelling flower

Exactly, we're about to welcome
a sweet-smelling flower
Ranmaru

into this shabby four-man dwelling.
Isn't it just wonderful?
Ranmaru

There's nothing for us to worry about, is there?
Ranmaru

How about food?! Food, damn it!
Ranmaru

Ranmaru

So, can that Sunako girl even cook?
Kyohei

Ever since Auntie left, we haven't
had anything decent!
Kyohei

I'm starving!

Takenaga

Oh, I see, that's why you're so cranky.
Takenaga

That's ridiculous.
Takenaga

That's ridiculous.

No, it's not! Food is the basis of everything!

Sure, sure.

"Sure, sure" my a*s!

Here we go again.

No kidding.

I know! Let's go gather some roses
before the princess arrives.

Yuki, will you help me?

Sure!

Hey, there's something in there.

Huh? I bet it's a cat or something.

You're right.

Come here, kitty. Meow, meow...

Meow...

What's wrong?

Yukinojo?

Hold it right there!

A ghost!

Calm down! It's a human! I think...

Really?

It does look like a human, but...
Really?

It does look like a human, but...

But the more I look...

The less human she looks!

Totally ill-maintained, overgrown
and unkempt hair...

A raggedy sweatshirt with mysterious stains
which probably cost about 500 yen...

A skirt with an amoeba pattern...

Shoes, which don't even deserve
to be called sneakers...

Could it be? I'm sure I'm wrong,
but are you Sunako by any chance?!

Th.. This is the girl we bet our rent on?!

We.. Welcome, Sunako. Let me show you
to your room. Please, right this way.

Say, your stuff got here before you,
so I put it in your room already!

Hey, aren't those long-a*s
bangs bothering you?

Cut 'em off!

Shut up.

What?!

It's none of your business!
Mind your own business!

Sunako's Room

Wh.. What the hell is her problem?!

Stop it! Restrain yourself!

Let me go!
Stop it! Restrain yourself!

I'm scared! I'm scared!

That's not normal!

If I cut my bangs...

Oh my god, look at that table!

They're all cute!

Are they celebrities or something?

What do we do now?

We sure didn't sign up for that.

I don't like horror stuff.

Even for me, a princess from some demon
world or hell is too much to handle.

Heh, heh, heh, heh...
Heh, heh, heh, heh...

If she were a normal girl,

she'd eventually open up as long as you kept on
working on her with smiles and all, but...

I hate putting on a fake smile
more than anything!

And when I think about doing it
for that wench I feel so...

Hey, have you done this before?

We should give it a try,
otherwise our rent will be...

Sigh...

Excuse me, may I take your order?

A normal girl...

How about me?

I'm totally normal!

I won first place in the normal girl contest!

Let's get out of here.

Bye-bye, cute little kittens!

You sl*t!

I wish I could take home at least
one of them with me.

Hiroshi...

Why?

Why do I have to live in this mansion?

Sunako!

I bet you're hungry.

We brought some food home!

Let's eat together!

What the...

That was so scary! So scary!

I feel dizzy.
That was so scary! So scary!

I feel dizzy.

Kyohei! Get your a*s out of there!

If you want her to cook,
then ask her yourself!

No, I'm scared!

Saying it cutely ain't gonna help!

Damn!

I hate things that are bright!

The light melts me!

The darkness is my only sanctuary!

No breakthrough solution for this, huh?

My expectations are now crumbling.

Your expectations?

Say, I'd be helping her unpacking her stuff,

then notice that a lot of her
belongings are pink.

Then I'd say, "Sunako, I see you
like the color pink. "

Then she'd go, "What girl doesn't
like the color pink?"

Then I'd say, " I'd love to tint
your skin pink if I could!"

"Ranmaru!"
"Sunako!"

Then we'd reach for each other's hands
and gaze into each other's eyes...

It's too damn long!

Is it?

By the way, where's Kyohei?
Is it?

By the way, where's Kyohei?

Who knows?

Which part was too long?

Hey!

You know what?

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh!
Sunako?!

Sunako?!

Sunako!

Get out! Don't come near me!

What happened?

Kyohei, did you finally hit her?

You!

You scream as soon as you see my face,
and on top of that you tell me to get out?!

Who the hell do you think you are?

I'm only being nice to you because
it will get me free rent!

Rent?

Oops, he told her.

Otherwise who would ever want to talk to you?

Who would want to come inside
this scary-a*s room?!

Scary? Room?

t*rture

A Record of
Experiences

Hey, are you

afraid of men?

Did you have a bad experience
or something in the past?

As you can see, he's half-naked.

I see! I'm sorry, Sunako.

We'll be more careful from now on.

That's not it.

That's not it, so just get out!

But, Sunako!

Just get out of here, now!

Fine! You hate us that much, huh?

Do whatever you want!

Sunako's Room
Do whatever you want!

Sunako's Room

I... I can't believe a man that
beautiful actually exists.

I can't believe I'm supposed to live
with these Creatures of the Light.

Run!

Hurry up and run!

Kyohei, I can't believe you
told her about the rent!

Yeah, if she tells Auntie,
we'll have to pay rent!

You guys snapped on her too!

Because she's so stubborn...

I'm shocked that there are girls in this
world who aren't princesses.

What do we do now?

Are we gonna pay the rent?

Kyohei?

What's up?

It's nothing, nothing at all.

I couldn't find a place to stay in town,

or in the sewers.

I guess I'll have to camp out.

Hey, girl!

Wanna hang out with us?

What?

Sada! !
What?

What?

A monster!

A ghost!

What, a ghost?

Yeah, right!

It's true! It's right there!

It's gone...

There's no place for an
ugly girl in this world!

There's no place for an
ugly girl in this world...
There's no place for an
ugly girl in this world!

There's no place for an
ugly girl in this world...

It ran that way!

I wanna see the ghost!

Wait up, you ghost girl!

Thud. . .

Look, she fell.

Are you gonna help her?

Hell no, not unless she's cute.

Hey, ghost girl, you okay?

Did you smash your scary face?

I just...

I just want to melt into the Darkness.

Hey, don't go running away from home just
because I said some things to you!

Don't worry about the rent!

Jeez!

Come on, get up!

A girl shouldn't be walking around
outside this late at night.

What? Are they sh**ting
a movie or something?

What a weird couple.

There's nothing to see here!

Don't say anything to them...

about me coming out and looking for you.

I don't know what they'd say if they found out.

Are you sure you can cook?!

Let's just go somewhere and eat!

We don't have the money for that!

Let's just call some girls.

They're noisy, so no!

Just shut up! I said I'd cook!

It's just the dinner, so what's the big deal...

OWWWWWWWW!
OW!

OW!

Now who's irritated over "just dinner" ?

Well, we don't even know if Sunako
is a good cook or not,

so this was bound to happen either way.

Don't talk about that anymore, all right?

Now that it's come to this, we should just take
care of the cooking and rent on our own!

Guess you're right.

First of all, how are we supposed to
communicate with someone

who holes up in her room and
doesn't even talk to us?

Auntie sure is cruel.

Kyohei, I'll help out, so hurry up
and cut up vegetables!

Don't you boss me around!

Damn!

Calm down!

My finger! My finger! My finger!

I said, calm down!

I put too much in it!

I bet you're hungry.

You know, you had bad experiences with
them in the past or something.

We'll be more careful from now on.

A girl shouldn't be walking around
outside this late at night.

Wh.. What are you doing here?!

Just sit down.

Um, I'm sorry about earlier.

That's all.

Wait!
That's all.

Wait!

I think she lit my fire.

She's a good cook, and has a nice neckline.

I think she's got potential.

Oh, you almost got me. I thought
the oven was on fire again.

Go, player!

He's working it!
Go, player!

Now show me your face, my sweet honey.

Anything but that!

Grab!

Wait! You screamed when you saw my face!

Heh, heh, heh, heh...

Heh, heh, heh, heh...
But you don't want to show us yours?
I don't think so!

Heh, heh, heh, heh...
That's a little sadistic!

Heh, heh, heh, heh...
That's for sure.

Heh, heh, heh, heh...
That's for sure.
He's a sadist!

Heh, heh, heh, heh...

You show your face, damn it!

I'm going to bunch up your bangs
and see how ugly you are!

Stop it!
I'm going to bunch up your bangs
and see how ugly you are!

Shut up! Stop struggling! Hey, stop moving!

Somehow, I think this is erotic.

Yet, not erotic at all.

I haven't seen my own face in
two years, so please don't !

Then stop struggling!

No!

S.. Sorry...

Oh no, they saw it...

They saw my ugly face!

What the hell?! It's normal, how boring.

I'm sorry, Sunako. We got carried away.

Don't cry, Sunako. You're very cute...

Don't say anything! I don't want to hear...

These
Th.. These are...

These are their

These are their faces.

Sunako!

WAAAAUGH!

Sunako's Room

Sh.. Sh.. She's got a unibrow!

H.. H.. Her lips were cracked!

H.. H.. Her skin looked awful!

How could a girl be okay with that?

It's not okay at all!

We were fooled for a second by the flour!
It's not okay at all!

We were fooled for a second by the flour!

But you know, it's no fun unless
she's a little uglier than that!

Man, was that all? That was nothing!

Hey, don't you think her skin problems
are manageable though?

Leave it to me!

The Road to Womanhood!

If you're experiencing dry skin...

Take a lavish amount of
skin toner in your hand

and apply it to your skin
by gently patting it on.

Repeat this several times.

Once your skin is moisturized, apply more
skin toner onto your skin again.

But this time you gently massage
it into the pores.

WRONG!

If you scrub hard, it will
aggravate the condition!

Finish it up with moisturizer and cream!

Hey, do you guys actually do that?

Do what?

I'm gonna melt!

The Road to Womanhood!

Telephone...

Why are you so lazy?

Hello?

Auntie!

What?!
Auntie!

What?!

Sunako? Of course, she's changing
into a wonderful lady!

Just leave it up to me, she'll be...

Slurp...
Slurp...

Now she looks even more
suspicious than earlier!

Slurp...

It's like she's detached
herself from humanity.

Make that into a lady?!

Impossible!

But...

The rent...

We have no choice but to do this!

We're gonna change Sunako Nakahara
into a lovely lady!

Good luck to us!

Slurp...
CURSE

Ah, this kobucha is delicious.

We're really gonna do our best!

A Ray of Light in the Darkness

What I managed to obliterate

Was a bunch of blades

I loved it like this, waiting, waiting

With felt petals, waiting

I can't see you anymore, waiting, waiting

I just keep on waiting in a sea without you

I loved it like this, waiting, waiting

The felt petals, waiting

We won't see each other anymore

Waiting, waiting

I will probably be waiting in a sea without you

What will we do, what will we do?

Sunako Nakahara is about to make
her " high-school-debut" !

Sunako, let's go to school!

No!
Sunako, let's go to school!

Sunako, put the uniform on!

No, no!
Sunako, put the uniform on!

Sunako, pull up your bangs!

No, no, no!
Sunako, pull up your bangs!

What is this? Do you think you're
in a kabuki play or something?

No!
