[I dedicated this movie to all the boys and girls who
are now suffering, or have suffered, from puberty]
Kasuga-kun...
Bye-bye.
I died at that time.
"The sunlight climbs the cliff."
"The anxiety walks under the overpass."
"In the depths of the infinite sky,"
"behind the fence of the endless railway,"
"a lonely shadow drifts slowly."
"Oh, you! Wanderer!"
"You're drifting over the cliff without any will."
"You must have no place to go back to."
"You have no hometown at all."
This town is gray.
No mountains.
No weeds.
Nothing.
There is only endless gray.
I'm sorry!
It's enough. Go away!
Is it fun?
Would you tell me?
How can you live without shame like this?
You shit-bugs.
Do you have a death wish?
I won't die here.
Because...
I have died at that time.
I died and lost everything.
But...
I'm still alive.
I'm just alive.
The Flowers of Evil
[3 years ago]
In this town, that is surrounded by mountains, [3 years ago]
In this town, that is surrounded by mountains,
there's no place to escape.
Why are all the signs rusty?
How many people in this town can understand...
Baudelaire's works?
Also...
How many people can understand me?
- Okuda! - Yes!
You made it to the 7th question, but you didn't answer the 6th question.
Kasuga!
Ah, yes!
Work a bit harder.
Saeki.
Yes.
Saeki scored a 98!
She's in the first place.
You worked hard.
- You're indeed amazing, Nanako. - Please, I'm not.
- Thank you. - You're amazing!
No contest.
I wouldn't be able to do it.
Nakamura!
- Where's your reply? - Yes.
Nakamura got the lowest score. Zero.
Explain this.
All the answers were left blank.
Say something!
Do you think you can survive the real world with that condescending atti...
Shut up,
you shit-bug!
Did you just call your teacher "A shit-bug"?
Come to the staff room after school.
Next, Muraoka!
Don't you think Nakamura is so scary?
- She creeps me out. - Right.
I really don't want to go out with someone like her.
Why are you being so arrogant?
No one wants to go out with you either.
You're no better than me!
Wrong!
I read books.
So what?
If I had to choose, I want Saeki-san to be my girlfriend.
Did you see her in P.E. class yesterday?
Her body shape already looks like an adult's.
Did you know?
I heard she's so hairy down there.
- Shut up, you idiot! - What's wrong with you?
Kasuga, the girl you like,
could it be... Saeki?
She's not!
My book!
I left it at school
I'll go get it.
Hey, Kasuga!
- Are you running away? - I'm not!
How dare they insult Saeki-san like that?
She's my muse, you idiots!
[The Flowers of Evil by Baudelaire]
[SAEKI]
The smell of shampoo.
Takao, you're back?
I'm home! I don't need dinner!
Huh?
It's the flower of evil.
It really is.
I have to return it.
Morning!
Kasuga. Kasuga!
Take your seats!
Listen.
It seems that Saeki's gym uniform was gone this morning.
It must've been a pervert! Kasuga, that's crazy!
If anyone knows anything, please come and tell me.
There's a pervert.
Shut up, idiot!
I'm a criminal.
I'm sorry, Saeki-san.
I will pay for my sin for the rest of my life.
Even until I'm old.
- What are you doing? - What?
Well... I'm on my way to the bookstore.
Forget that.
Take me to the other side of the mountains.
Why should I?
"Why"?
Because I want to go.
Ah, but...
I have to go and get the book I reserved.
Kasuga-kun...
You know what,
I saw you.
When you stole Saeki-san's gym uniform.
He's running away.
Don't come closer!
Go away!
Why are you running away, you stinky rat!
Wa... wait.. please listen to me, Nakamura-san!
You see...
I didn't take it.
- I just happened to bring it with me... - Kasuga-kun!
I won't tell others.
In exchange,
let's make a contract.
[I...]
Write an essay.
Write down your feelings as a pervert in that essay.
I have to turn myself in as soon as possible.
Morning!
It's gone!
Why is my lunch money not here?
Oh, no! Saeki-san has just lost her stuff recently.
Something was stolen again?
What do we do?
Hey.
Don't you think it's Nakamura's doing?
She's most likely the culprit.
That reminds me!
I saw Nakamura-san entered the classroom after school yesterday.
- No way. - Really?
Impossible. Yesterday afternoon, she was with me.
One crow, two crows...
Don't say something like that without evidence!
What's wrong with you, Kasuga?
That's Kasuga for you.
Here it is!
What the heck?
- It was a false accusation. - A false accusation.
Aren't you glad, Kasuga? Nakamura isn't the culprit.
You must be happy.
Yamada misunderstands me completely.
Let me help you.
You don't need to!
I also thought it wasn't Nakamura-san's doing.
You were so cool, Kasuga-kun.
Wait...
Is it that girl?
I heard her gym uniform was stolen.
Um...
Saeki-san, what do you usually do?
What?
I'm sorry.
Well...
I think I just study.
How about you?
Um...
I go to the bookstores most of the time.
You always read books that seem hard.
So I thought you were so amazing, the way you immerse yourself in your own world.
I want to try reading books too.
Then, there's a good secondhand bookstore at the crossroads of Honcho street.
There are so many books that you can't find in Tokyo.
That sounds fun.
Well... then...
Wanna go with me this Sunday?
- Okay. - Really?
Kasuga-kun!
Nakamura-san.
Hurry up, show me your essay.
It's a collection of poems by Baudelaire, "The Flowers of Evil."
What the hell is this?
This book is full of negative emotions.
It has the philosophy that can never be understood by the ordinary people in this town.
This is...
my essay.
Shut up, you shit-bug!
Ouch!
What I want to read is...
your ramblings...
about all those nasty stuff you have in your mind!
You sniffed the gym uniform...
and rubbed it all over your body!
[SAEKI]
Wait, why is it?
Wait, anyone help!
Wait...
You're a complete pervert!
How is it?
How do you feel?
Kasuga-kun...
You know,
deep down, in the lower part of my body,
it's been so itching for a long time.
I always feel confused about it.
I wish...
all the things in this world could turn into shit-bugs inside my confusion.
Just like you,
I must be...
a pervert, too.
Amazing...
It's Baudelaire's The Flowers of Evil.
The title sounds so cool.
When I first read it in 7th grade, my view about the world had changed.
It made realize how clueless and stupid I was.
Anyway, the language used here is so powerful.
That's cool.
Here, I'm giving this to you as a present.
Please read it. It's really amazing.
Thank you. I'm so happy.
Today was so fun.
Thanks for the book.
I'll make sure to read it.
Before the date is over, you have to kiss Saeki-san.
Okay?
No way!
Are you trying to look cool?
Did you forget that you're wearing Saeki-san's gym uniform?
I don't get why you're giving me this order...
Today, you have to peel off a layer of skin...
on your body.
What?
Admit that you are a perverted bastard!
Otherwise, you'll be going to hell.
What's the matter, Kasuga-kun?
Ah, it's nothing.
That's not true.
I am...
not a pervert.
What?
Saeki-san!
Um...
Please have a purely platonic relationship with me!
Ah, no...
Okay.
If you're okay with me.
Saeki-san...
You mean it?
This is the first time someone confessed to me.
I'm so moved.
I'm also happy.
I really am!
Let's start dating seriously.
Are you okay?
It was Nakamura-san...
Um.. I just remembered I have an important matter to attend to!
- See you tomorrow! - Kasuga-kun!
You're too much, Nakamura-san!
- That's too much. - You treacherous bastard!!
I told you to kiss her!
Why did you confess to her instead?!
Well...
I didn't have any intention to kiss her from the beginning!
I know you really wanted to.
Shut up.
While wearing Saeki-san's gym uniform that's soaked in her sweat and her fragrance,
I know you were so excited.
Shut up.
I know you are a dirty and nasty pervert!
I'm not!
If you insist,
then try dating her seriously.
What?
I will support you.
Also, the fact that you are the pervert who stole the gym uniform,
I won't tell anyone.
Support me?
What?
I heard Kasuga and Saeki were walking together recently, so, it's true?
Why does Saeki-san want to be with you?
That's miracle.
Saeki-san saw my true self.
I'm different from ordinary guys like you.
Don't get cocky!
Ouch!
What are you doing?
Kasuga?
Hey, Nakamura-san!
Um...
Nakamura-san said she wanted to be friends with me.
Yes. Be friends with her.
Hey, Saeki-san, you really like Kasuga-kun, don't you?
Wait, Nakamura-san!
Yes. I do.
Then... if Kasuga-kun was a pervert,
would you still like him?
What are you talking about? Kasuga-kun is...
It's from my mom.
Excuse me.
Hello.
What are you planning to do?!
I will peek into the darkest corners of Saeki-san's mind,
and tell you everything she can't.
I don't need to know that!
Please leave us alone!
I know you are curious.
I'm not! Geez!
Saeki-san said that...
I don't care. I don't care.
she wanted to have sex with you!
Huh?
Wait...
Can we talk?
What did you do to Nanako?
She called me last night.
[SAEKI]
Nanako, I'm coming in.
Okay.
Kasuga-kun?
He brought you some handouts.
Come on in.
Thank you.
- Come on in. - Thank you.
Make yourself at home.
Bye.
Sit over here.
Kasuga-kun, if you're hiding anything from me,
I want you to tell me now.
You told me how you felt directly to me,
I was so happy to hear that.
I want to know...
the real you.
I don't hide anything from you.
Thank you.
I believe you.
Ah, right!
I've read about halfway through the book you gave me.
It's such a difficult book.
You're amazing, Kasuga-kun.
But, I'll try my best to finish it.
Kasuga-kun!
You just had sex, didn't you?
At Saeki-san's place.
How was it? Have you peeled off that mask of yours?
She read "The Flowers of Evil" for me.
Saeki-san,
she's such a pure person.
But...
I continue betraying her!
I'm a scum!
I'm a shit-bug!
Yes, you are.
You're the only one who can help me!
Please tell Saeki-san!
That I stole her gym uniform.
Tell her about my true colors!
Nakamura-san!
I can't stand it.
Kasuga-kun, your expression is really nice.
All right.
I'll do it.
Hey, Nakamura-san!
Nakamura... wait!
Hey!
Nakamura-san!
Where are you going?
Wa..wait...
Hey!
Don't you think the moon looks so swollen like it's going to burst, Kasuga-kun?
Come on.
All right!
Why are we in the class...
Give me the bag.
Write it down.
All the nasty stuff you hide under your mask.
Write that you stole Saeki Nanako's gym uniform and rubbed it all over your body.
Write that you are a complete pervert who went on a date with her and even confessed to her while wearing the uniform!
Write that you, Kasuga Takao, did all that!
Then, if you leave the gym uniform here,
Saeki-san will see it tomorrow morning when she comes to school.
I didn't rub it...
Also, I'll be exposed as the culprit!
Exactly.
That's obvious.
Hurry up and write it down!
Write it down!
Ouch!
That's not it!
That's not what I wa...
You're asking for too much, Kasuga-kun.
You want to tell Saeki-san everything and put yourself at ease.
Who do you think you are?
That's...not it.
On top of that, you want me to tell her?
Just cut it out and stop being selfish, you ugly bastard!
I just...
want to become someone who is worthy of Saeki-san.
I just...
want to be normal!
I'm disappointed.
Turns out, you're the same as everyone else!
Flocking together like a lump of shit, talking about disgusting things with your disgusting laughs.
Gossiping about who likes who and who hates who.
You guys might as well die!
A bunch of cunts!
Always sugarcoat things.
But all you can think of is sex and sex!
In the end, you just want to have sex!
You're so boring! So boring!
So boring! So boring! So boring! So boring!
So boring!
Our contract is terminated.
Do not ever talk to me again.
Goodbye.
Nakamura-san!
Fuck...
Fuck it!
I...
stole Saeki Nanako's...
gym...
uniform.
I am the pervert who sniffed the uniform...
and went on a date with her.
I am Kasuga Takao.
How about this?
Is that it?
Let's spill everything out!
Show your true colors!
Let's turn this classroom into a sea full of shit-bugs!
I am a shit-bug.
I am a stupid cunt...
Saeki-san...
Damn it!
More!
This is not enough and so boring!
The weather during the day was a coward♫
She was scared and cried♫
More! She was scared and cried♫
I'm a shit-bug!
I'm...
Tonight, it seems a bit different♫
Do more! Tonight, it seems a bit different♫
The raindrops are falling on her forehead♫
More!
More! More! More!
More!
I looked ahead to the future written on a black paper, all alone♫
I want to destroy all the people I hate♫
But it didn't last long, it ended in an instant♫
I can't even do that, I'm such a coward♫
How about you?♫
You cried♫
[Shit-bugs]
[Perverted ugly bastard]
Kasuga-kun...
You are indeed a true pervert.
In a few hours, everyone will see that classroom.
Saeki-san too.
I wonder how it would turn out.
You're looking forward to it, right?
See you later today.
Today, my ordinary life...
will come to an end.
Kasuga!
The pervert came back.
What kind of person is he? So scary.
This is bad, Kasuga.
What do we do?
Nanako, are you all right?
Can you get up?
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Sensei is not here yet?
Seriously.
Attention, please!
We're having an emergency meeting in the gymnasium now!
Emergency meeting?
Hurry up, get moving!
Hurry up!
- Kasuga, let's go. - Let's go.
Hurry up!
Welcome back, Takao.
Dad?
Why are you home? How about work?
I want to talk to you.
It seems that some lunatics have splattered ink everywhere in your classroom.
These clothes were folded in the washing machine.
Why are these so dirty?
Well...
This morning, someone saw you walking down the street looking all dark.
Takao!
Nowhere. There's nowhere.
There's nowhere to go.
There's nowhere in this town.
You're so late, Kasuga-kun.
Let's go to the other side.
Will you come with me?
You're coming with me, you fool!
If I stay here, I will become a mess.
I have to run away.
Together with Nakamura-san.
Going to the other side of the mountains.
This sound...
It sounds like the town is sinking into a sea full of shit-bugs.
I have always...
thought about this.
That there's nothing on the other side.
The world ends there.
There's only endless dark and muddy place over there.
It's so pitch dark that you could also die.
Saeki-san.
This book...
Sorry. It got soaked in the rain.
I've read it. Many times.
It's really hard!
I don't really understand.
Tell me! Why do you like this book, Kasuga-kun?
What goes through your mind?
Aren't we dating?
Why did you turn to Nakamura-san?
Why do you ask?
Well...
Do you like Nakamura-san?
That's not it!
Do you really want to know about Kasuga-kun's true face?
Then, I'll tell you!
Nakamura-san!
When Kasuga-kun confessed to you, guess what he was wearing under his clothes?
When you guys went on a date, and he confessed to you,
he was wearing...
your damn gym uniform that had been sniffed many times,
and made him turned on!
Stop it!
No matter what you do,
I know you were thinking of me.
I'm so happy.
I don't think of you as a pervert.
Saeki-san...
It's enough, Kasuga-kun. You're so boring.
Spend the rest of your life as a shit-bug in this town.
Wait, Nakamura-san!
Kasuga-kun!
I read "The Flowers of Evil."
I read Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's, Breton's,
Hagiwara Sakutaro's, and Bataille's works.
And then what?
I thought I was different from those losers.
But I actually don't understand.
I don't understand Baudelaire and "The Flowers of Evil."
I was just so full of myself while reading those books.
I didn't have the guts to show my true face...
to Saeki-san.
I can't be normal! I can't love someone normally!
But, I'm not a pervert!
The true colors you think I have within me,
they don't exist, so, there is nothing to expose!
I'm an empty person!
I get it. It's enough.
Stop messing with my soul like this!
I couldn't take Nakamura-san to the other side.
[Saitama Prefecture] [Migiwa High]
Big boobs are evil, the small ones are the best. [Saitama Prefecture] [Migiwa High]
Big boobs are evil, the small ones are the best.
No, boobs are supposed to be big.
You don't understand...
But, if there are girls with such big boobs...
They're practically cows.
They're not!
We can raise the cows.
Well, raise them...
That's really annoying!
Right, he's after Tokiwa. He said you would be his girlfriend before Christmas.
That's annoying.
Is he stupid?
Tokiwa has a really nice figure.
But, she seems to have a boyfriend. An older guy.
Oh no, she's definitely a bitch.
But, doesn't that mean her bed skills are really good?
Do you know "The Flowers of Evil"?
Who are you?
Never mind...
Dad, I've finished my bath.
Is that so?
Takao.
Have you been doing it recently?
Doing what?
Dear.
Take a bath!
I don't need it today.
Are you going to sleep here again? I don't care anymore!
Just let me.
- Get up! - Let me.
Hey, behave properly! Get up!
Hey, you!
I don't really understand this.
- Did you read it? - Yes.
Baudelaire's poems were mentioned in my favorite book as the key to solving the mystery in it.
Do you like books?
I read a lot when I was in middle school.
Lend me some good ones.
Not something like "The Flowers of Evil."
I like novels with neat plots.
With interesting, heavy, and long stories.
But, when I moved here, I threw away all my books.
There's nothing left.
You threw them away?
Then, would you like to read it?
The book where Baudelaire was mentioned.
All right.
Well...
I put all the books by that author around here.
Amazing.
Don't stare at it too much!
But, it really is amazing.
[The plot]
This is... [The plot]
This is...
Don't read it!
What's wrong? Let me see!
Is it perhaps your novel?
It's not!
Show it to me.
If you laugh at it, I'll kill you.
Ghost Murder Case.
Setting : In some remote mountain town.
A boring and peaceful village.
Hero : The only high school student there.
He can't leave the town.
The village is dead.
Even the people who live there are also dead.
This is...
me.
The hero in this story is me.
This village is surrounded by mountains, so you have nowhere to go.
The feelings written in this book, I know them.
It's amazing!
Really?
It's interesting!
Well.. Thank you!
I will continue writing!
Then, the windows of the mansion are so shiny.
And the faces of the missing people are reflected on them.
That sounds good.
Really?
I never thought I could tell others about these ideas!
It's strange. And incredible.
I just like using such a narrative trick.
Kasuga-kun?
Saeki-san.
Long time no see. How have you been?
Nanako, who is that?
He was my classmate in middle school.
How many years has it been?
Is it 3 years already? I'm surprised that we met here.
- Don't you think so? - Yes.
Is that your girlfriend?
No, we're just friends.
I see. You remind me of someone I know.
Let's exchange numbers.
Wait here.
Give me your phone.
Are you going to make her unhappy too?
Sorry, I made you wait.
Bye-bye.
Summer has come.
The mountains have become thicker and suffocating.
The weeds grow rampantly.
This summer is about to boil your brains.
Speaking about Kasuga, he looks too creepy lately.
He has this black aura all around him.
He doesn't talk to Saeki-san anymore.
Why does that guy keep ignoring you, Nanako?
It's okay.
What kept showing up in my boiling mind...
was nothing but Nakamura-san's tears.
Because it was the first time I saw her like that.
[NAKAMURA]
Looking for someone at our house?
My name is... Ka-Kasuga.
Um... I'm Nakamura-san's classmate.
Is that so?
Wanna come in?
Just relax.
Is he Sawa's friend?
Yeah. This is the first time.
Grandma, bring me some beer.
Okay.
Kasuga-kun, what do you think about Sawa?
Isn't she such a difficult girl?
I'm embarrassed to say this,
but as her father, I don't really understand her.
Every time she opens her mouth, something extremely rude spills out.
I don't know where she learned it from.
She doesn't listen to me.
Maybe it's because she takes after someone.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Um... where is her mom?
She doesn't live here.
We got divorced, when Sawa was 5.
This beer is warm , Grandma!
Is that so? Sorry. I'll give you another one.
What is your relationship with Sawa?
I don't know if I can say we're friends.
Actually, I don't really understand...
what's in Nakamura-san's mind either.
But...
I...
want to understand her thoughts.
You're an honest kid, Kasuga-kun.
Sorry, I made you wait.
Um, can I go to the bathroom?
Over there.
Excuse me.
Is it good enough?
[Pervert]
[All of them are useless! Scums! Boring!] [This town is full of shit-bugs! I can't stand them!]
[So, I'm a pervert]
[Another pervert has appeared: KASUGA TAKAO] [So excited! What will we do after this?]
[I and Kasuga-kun turned the classroom into a sea of shit-bugs!] [He is indeed worthy of me]
[I couldn't go to the other side] [I couldn't go...]
Na...Nakamura-san!
Sawa!
Get out of here, you piece of shit!
Sawa!
Wait... Nakamura-san!
Nakamura-san!
The reason why Nakamura-san was angry with me at that time,
was because she had lived much harder life...
much harder life...
than me.
She was always alone.
Nakamura-san.
Let's find "the other side", inside this town,
together.
You scum! You scum! You scum!
"Together", my ass!
"The other side", my ass!
You scum! You scum! You scum!
Spend the rest of your life jerking off to yourself, you fucking scum!
Nakamura-san, let's make another contract with me.
Let's crawl out of this sea full of shit-bugs together.
This is good.
It's delicious.
Ah right, I found a good book in a secondhand bookstore.
"Edogawa Ranpo Complete Works" translated by Awazu Norio.
I'll give it to you.
- Dear. - Dad.
I don't need books anymore.
Oh no. I forgot to apply sunscreen.
That's bad.
Kasuga took a day off.
Too bad that he couldn't see Saeki-san in her swimming suit.
When they're alone, he could see it better.
What the heck?
Oh, no! My panty is gone!
Mine is also gone!
Really?
Mine too!
Mine is not here either!
Mine is also gone!
What's going on?
Another pervert?!
Nanako, is yours also gone?
No way, our panties are all gone!
All?
I'll go and tell Sensei.
I want to show you something.
Nakamura-san...
This place, this place is...
the only other side of this small town.
You can come here anytime.
I will always be here.
Even if we can't get out of this town,
I will always keep you entertained.
You sit over here.
This is my contract.
Talking as if you understand things.
Why did you also steal my panty?
You didn't take Saeki Nanako's.
Why is it?
Because that's the worst kind of insult there is.
Are you kidding me?
It's me who wants to make a contract with you, you perverted bastard!
Do you get it?
When Nakamura-san smiled,
that was "the other side" to me.
Nakamura-san.
What do you want to do next?
Shall we scatter these panties all over the town?
That's not too bad.
Aren't you happy?
It's all because of me. Be grateful.
You stinky rat.
Ouch!
It hurts!
Does it hurt?
Then, it will make you more painful!
It hurts. it hurts. It hurts, you know!
Next is...
a headbutt!
I got a bone fracture.
Are you happy?
Summer holiday is around the corner.
I've never been so excited about summer holiday until now.
It hurts! It hurts!
[Plan]
This town is a shit-bug. [Plan]
This town is a shit-bug.
There's nowhere to go.
Nothing will change, no matter where you go.
And, it's just too boring here.
So, we have to find the other side of this small town.
Nakamura-san and I.
Together.
Did Nakamura-san come?
Nakamura-san?
Have you done it with Nakamura-san?
What?
Have you had sex with her?
Hey, Kasuga-kun...
The destination you want to go is a dead end.
"The other side"?
Such a thing...
doesn't exist!
Kasuga-kun...
Hey...
Let's do it with me.
Wait...
Are you afraid because Nakamura-san is not here?
You really are an empty person.
Wait... a minute!
Calm down!
This isn't like Saeki-san at all.
Do it, Kasuga-kun.
You have to do it!
Everyone lives like this.
Here...
In this town...
No!
I want to build "the other side" in this town.
For Nakamura-san.
For her?
That's my...
Let's be together forever.
Kasuga-kun.
Wait...
I...
love Nakamura-san.
Kasuga-kun.
What is this?
Nakamura-san...
I...
Good evening, Nakamura-san.
I...
did it with Kasuga-kun.
So what?
Do whatever you want.
Kasuga-kun only sees you as an escape.
But, since I'm taking him back,
he doesn't need you anymore.
Hey, how do you feel right now?
I took Kasuga-kun away and burned everything down.
Dumb bitch.
Wait, don't do it!
She's been like this for so long!
Looking down on me like this!
Wait...
What is it? Let go of me!
Say something!
I'm taking Kasuga-kun away, aren't you annoyed?
Say it! Say that you're annoyed! Say it!
Why am I not you, Nakamura-san?
You finally said it.
But, your true face is even dirtier than flies.
I don't want to be understood by you, even if I die.
Hey, you!
Nakamura-san.
The summer festival is one week away.
I'm going to restore everything.
Kasuga-kun...
Where does this road lead to?
Everyone is dead after this.
I will look for it.
I will find out where this road leads us to!
So...
Nakamura-san!
Here you are!
I'm having a writer's block.
Can you wait for my novel a bit longer?
Of course.
Say, how did you feel before you moved here, Kasuga-kun?
How did I feel?
Speaking of Saeki-san,
Sorry, I'm being nosy.
[SAEKI NANAKO]
[I was surprised to see you the other day] [I know this is sudden, but can we meet up on Saturday?] [I want to talk with you again after a long time] [I can go to Omiya if you don't mind] [Having lunch together would be nice] [See you then]
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
This won't do.
I'm an empty person.
I have lots of friends.
And always try to cater to everyone.
I feel like...
everyone wants me to be like that.
Maybe I force myself too hard.
Tokiwa-san.
But, I didn't even notice that I was forcing myself.
After I talked to you, I started to realize it.
So...
Please tell me, someday.
Your story too.
Someday, I definitely will.
I've always been in Utsunomiya ever since I moved there.
I could make friends easily.
It's been fun.
I got a boyfriend in high school.
I just live a happy, normal life.
I see.
How about you? Are you happy?
How about Nakamura-san?
I have never seen her again since then.
I don't even know where she is.
You've been running away.
From that day, from me,
from that town, and also from Nakamura-san.
You're going to keep running away like this forever, aren't you?
That's how it is. I understand.
But...
I'm disappointed.
I'm leaving now.
Thanks for today.
That's not it.
I want to stop running away.
I did see it in Tokiwa-san's novel,
what I should do to live without running away anymore.
Write an essay.
Write your feelings as a pervert in that essay.
Are you going to make her unhappy too?
I am an empty person.
You really are an empty person.
Please tell me, someday, your story too.
I will write it down.
I have to write it down.
All about my perverted self.
No...
I'm writing about the ghost in me.
- Let go of me! - I said you are grounded!
I have to save Nakamura-san!
Takao!
We're moving out next week!
Don't make people talk about you!
I'm not moving out!
Takao!
Weren't you the one who made me read "The Flowers of Evil"?
Let go of me, you shit-bug!
Please calm down!
Takao!
Hurry, come with me, you empty shell.
Wait, where are you going?
Takao!
Sorry...
What are you apologizing for?
Nakamura-san...
"The other side", you have it within you.
Nakamura-san, as long as I can save you...
It kept on screaming.
The perverted self in my lower body.
It was shouting in a language I didn't understand.
The sound hit you and reflected back to me.
So I could finally understand it.
I could hear it.
I want to go out. Let me go. Take me out.
Where is it?
Where is the exit?
Where is the other side?
But I finally understood.
"The other side" doesn't exist.
Neither does this side.
There's nothing here.
No shit-bugs, no perverts.
There's...
nothing.
No matter where I go,
I will never disappear!
Use this baseball bat...
to destroy my head.
Hit me till my brain becomes a splatter mess.
Make me disappear without a trace.
Come on.
Hurry up.
Hurry up!
Kasuga-kun...
Tomorrow,
shall we throw it away?
Our future.
All of it.
Would you come with me?
Yes.
It's beautiful.
It's as beautiful as the wet, stinky and dirty garbage.
You're right.
Nakamura-san...
I wanted to folllow you.
I wanted to follow you that day...
Ma'am!
- Did you find them? - No.
He wrote his plan about the summer festival in his notebook, right?
Yes.
If we still can't find them in the next half hour, let's report it...
That performance was brought to you by everyone from Kiryu's Yagibushi preservation society.
Thank you very much!
Hey, what are you guys doing?
Excuse me!
Isn't that Kasuga?
They seem to be middle school students.
These teenage girl and boy...
are taking over the central raised platform of Yagibushi Festival.
To all of you shit-bugs in this town!
Hey, what are you doing?
Come down!
Don't come closer.
Pour it on me.
Excuse me, sorry. Let me through.
Takao!
Goodbye. Goodbye. You shit-bugs.
Go die. Go die. Go die.
This town is hell.
Living here is also hell.
No one hears it.
No one hears the sound of flowers blooming across the faraway mountains!
I'm also a shit-bug.
I'm just facing a different direction...
from the other bugs in the stinky mud.
I'm also a shit-bug.
There's no other side.
I'm a fake pervert.
There's no other side.
Eternally.
Forever and ever.
Shit-bugs. Shit-bugs. Shit-bugs. Shit-bugs.
Shit-bugs!
Nakamura-san...
Let's do it.
Takao! Takao! Takao!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Kasuga-kun, bye-bye.
I'm going by myself.
Let go of me!
Nakamura-san...
Nakamura-san!
Stop it!
Let go of me! Let go of me!
Stop!
Stop it.
[Since that day, my time has stopped]
[SAEKI NANAKO]
[This is Nakamura-san's address] [Mizukoshi Diner, 32-85 Funakoshi, Chosi, Chiba]
What's the matter, Kasuga-kun?
I want you to read it.
I wrote down my own story.
I said I wanted to know...
I did say it.
But...
With this information, what am I supposed to do?
I'm going to see Nakamura-san.
I want to stop running away.
I want to face my past properly.
That's because... after I met you,
Don't!
Tokiwa-san, I...
Then, can you kiss me?
Wait!
Let go of me!
I don't know what I should do when I meet Nakamura-san.
I don't know if she wants me to hold her, or kill her.
But, I want to see her one more time.
So that I can continue my life with you.
I'll go with you.
You're not the only one.
If I don't see Nakamura-san,
I feel like I can't finish my novel.
I want to go, too.
Together with you.
[Tokawa Station]
[MIZUKOSHI DINER]
Welcome!
Two people?
Yes.
Please sit over there.
Welcome back! Thank you!
Bring the tea to the table number 1.
Okay.
Enjoy your tea.
Nakamura-san!
Sawa-san...
What's with your expression?
Long time no see.
Do you live together with your mom now?
Yes.
What about your dad?
After that, how did you live your life?
I forgot.
Look.
The sun is setting.
The sun sets on the beach in this town.
Then...
it will rise on the beach over there.
Over and over again.
It turns around and around.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
Does it look dirty...
and stinky like garbage?
At that time,
on our way to the summer festival,
we watched the sunset from the riverbank, and you said it was beautiful.
Is the sky today the same as it was back then?
Nakamura-san...
at that time,
why did you push me away?
Is she the one you like?
Is that so?
Glad to hear that.
That's how everyone chooses their own ways.
Then, what about you?
Bye...
Wait!
Sawa-san!
I'm sorry.
I know we have nothing to do with each other,
but, I'm also sad!
Sawa-san!
You can walk on your own path together with Kasuga-kun.
Because you guys...
understand each other.
more than anyone.
Kasuga-kun!
Kasuga-kun, stop!
Nakamura-san...
I can't catch anything!
Even if I desperately reach out my hands.
I thought I could reach it, but it slipped away.
I thought I had reached my destination.
But it was just the beginning.
But...
even so,
I'm happy!
Knowing that you didn't disappear.
Kasuga-kun, don't!
It's cold!
Kasuga-kun...
Don't come again.
You ordinary human being.
Thank you.
Tokiwa-san...
Please...
go out with me.
Yes.

Nothing. The moon was more beautiful than you♫
