00:00The number you have dialed is not in service.
00:29Grandpa died.
00:32Neither of my parents came to the funeral.
00:36That's the kind of funeral it was.
00:51Starting today, this is your house, Shichan.
00:55Shichan, look!
00:56Fish!
00:59Congratulations on making it to high school, Shichan!
01:12Grandpa!
01:14Grandpa!
01:18Grandpa!
01:21Grandpa!
01:24Grandpa!
01:27Grandpa!
01:30Grandpa!
01:33Grandpa!
01:36Hey, can you hear me?
01:38You okay?
01:40Come on.
01:42Come on, open your eyes.
01:44There.
01:49You okay?
01:51You scared me, diving in like that.
01:53Is this yours?
01:59Grandpa...
02:03What's wrong?
02:05I'm lonely.
02:07Oh.
02:09Well...
02:11You want me to stay with you?
02:20I do.
02:22I agreed, thinking it was a dream.
02:24All of it.
02:26Well, good luck taking me back with you, huh?
02:31Uh...
02:33Merman?
02:40I thought for sure it was a dream.
03:01Right now...
03:13My house...
03:16Has a merman in it.
03:19Age, unknown.
03:21Sex, male.
03:23It seems he has no name.
03:24That's inconvenient.
03:26So I gave him one.
03:28Isaki.
03:29Because that banged-up Isaki fish in the fridge had been bugging me.
03:34Shima.
03:35Shima.
03:37Shichan.
03:38Please don't call me that.
03:40Huh? Why?
03:41We've been together three days now, so maybe we should start using nicknames.
03:46Food's ready.
03:47You're so cruel!
03:49He's a strange merman.
03:56Let's eat.
04:06It's hot!
04:13It's delicious!
04:14Shima, what fish is this?
04:16Isaki?
04:18Isaki?
04:19That's cannibalism!
04:21Sob, sob, sob, sob, sob, sob, sob, sob, sob, sob, sob, sob, sob, sob, sob, sob!
04:27Don't tell me it's like this.
04:29If the lunchtime snack is Isaki, then the nighttime snack is me?
04:32Shades of Yao Pikuni!
04:34Just go back to the ocean.
04:36Shima, you're so cruel!
04:38He's a very strange merman.
04:44It was just the other day that Grandpa was here.
04:48Now, some stranger is sitting and watching TV.
04:52A merman.
04:57Isaki-san, don't you have any parents?
05:00No, I don't.
05:02I've been alone since I was born.
05:05And you?
05:08My parents were divorced when I was little, so I lived with my grandfather.
05:14My grandfather bought this kiddie pool just for me.
05:17Is that so?
05:20Being able to watch TV with you, to eat meals with you, it's all thanks to this!
05:28Shima?
05:30Hey, Shima!
05:32I'm sorry, it's nothing.
05:36Shima, I've noticed you always strike this pose when you cry.
05:42Shima, I'm not here to make you cry.
05:48Not at all.
05:52No, I'm fine.
05:54Really?
05:55Yes, really.
06:05Always?
06:07I've never cried anywhere but there.
06:11Um, always? How long have you watched me?
06:15Since you were little.
06:17Creepy.
06:18Well, the mermaid princess gets to help the prince because she always watches him.
06:21That is completely different from this.
06:24He's a strange merman.
06:27But... but...
06:29A very small part of me was glad Esaki was here.
06:59Love me.
07:04Love me.
07:09Love me.
07:14Love me.
07:29Love me.
07:39Okay, I'll be back.
07:41Shima, I want to go too.
07:43What are you saying? I'll be back.
07:46What should I do?
07:52Wow.
08:00He's all blushing.
08:03I found something good.
08:19Who's that? He's so cute.
08:21I wonder if he's waiting for someone.
08:22Kusatsu.
08:23After class, you want to go to karaoke?
08:26Sorry, the festival committee is meeting.
08:29Oh, man. You know, you and I haven't done karaoke together once.
08:34Hey, you don't look too chipper. You okay?
08:38Oh, I'm perfectly fine.
08:41Okay.
08:49Shima! Shima!
08:59Kaoichi?
09:05Huh? That guy's a friend of Shima's?
09:08You think he'll introduce us?
09:10Geez, what's with him? Now he looks chipper.
09:16What are you doing?
09:17Well, I sure gave my all.
09:19What if someone finds you out?
09:20Wait, how did you get here?
09:22And that's Grandpa's yukata!
09:24This universal design is great, huh?
09:26Are you trying to sound like an intellectual?
09:35I'm glad.
09:36You're not crying today, are you?
09:40I don't know what you mean.
09:53He came because he was worried?
10:06Whoa! What an awesome spread!
10:09What's this? You're being nice now?
10:11Please don't make me out to be two-faced.
10:13If you won't eat, I'll take this away.
10:15No, I'll eat. Thanks for the food.
10:21It's super delicious!
10:24I'm so glad you caught me.
10:26I didn't catch you.
10:29Well, if anything, I'm the one who was caught, right?
10:34Today, I was a little happy.
10:48What a shock! What a shock! What a shock!
10:50Why am I blushing so hard?
10:52What am I doing?
10:59Oh, that's right. How did you get to my school?
11:02Oh, a taxi.
11:08Esaki-san.
11:11It's said eating merman flesh makes you immortal.
11:14That's just a superstition, Shima!
11:16Eating it won't make you immortal.
11:18But I bet you'd fetch a good price.
11:21Stop it, Shima!
11:28A lot of things were tough at first.
11:31But over time, I got used to life with Esaki.
12:01Shima?
12:07Did I wake you?
12:10Is something wrong?
12:15May I talk about something trivial?
12:23I mentioned my parents before, didn't I?
12:29When I was a first-year in elementary school,
12:32I lived with my parents till Grandpa took me in.
12:37They both loved me, and I cared for them so much.
12:43That's why, when I was little,
12:46I worked hard to make my mother and father happy.
12:50But that got harder and harder.
12:53Shima's a good boy.
12:55You should be able to look after a child.
12:57Well, I think it would be better if he were more manly.
13:00I couldn't choose one over the other.
13:03I couldn't fulfill either expectation.
13:06Shima, your father and I are getting married first.
13:08Shima said that's what he wanted.
13:10Shima, you're coming with me, right?
13:19All y'all do is think of yourself.
13:21I ain't trusting Shima to you.
13:23I'll take him in.
13:28Grandpa loved me, too.
13:31I was so happy.
13:34I made friends at school,
13:37and I was never bullied.
13:40And yet, for some reason,
13:44I was never fulfilled.
13:47On silent nights,
13:51or on my way home,
13:53it would hit me.
14:03I'm just so lonely, though I'm loved.
14:06Though I'm loved!
14:07Stop insisting you're loved!
14:10I am loved! I am!
14:12Even though you don't show the real you?
14:16The real...
14:19I mean, I couldn't show that.
14:24If I did,
14:26I'm sure everyone would hate me.
14:29So you only cry when no one can see you?
14:32You say things aren't tough when they really are.
14:35You hide your true feelings.
14:38Well then, just who can love the real you?
14:41That's why you're lonely.
14:44It's okay, Shima.
14:47Show it, the real you.
14:49Have more trust in the people who are around you.
14:54I'm sure everyone will accept you for who you are.
15:03I'm really not a good boy.
15:07I'm a coward and selfish.
15:11I hate myself for that.
15:13But those are all parts of me.
15:19Okay?
15:21Shima, do you want to go to the beach this Sunday?
15:46I'll catch some fish to make up for the cab fare.
15:49I'll catch big ones like you've never seen.
15:55Woo-hoo!
15:57Please hang on tight.
15:59I wanted to try riding this once.
16:01Say, Shima, what kind of fish do you want me to catch?
16:05Isaki.
16:07Cannibalism again?
16:09Fine. Oysters.
16:11Those aren't fish.
16:12You chose based on cost, didn't you?
16:17Woo-hoo!
16:25Yes. Ah, the ocean. It feels great.
16:29Come on, Shima. It feels good.
16:32The truth is, I can't swim.
16:35Huh? You should have told me sooner.
16:37I can teach you gently and thoroughly.
16:39I respectfully decline, thanks.
16:42Well, whatever.
16:45I'm gonna get some fish.
16:53I don't know what Isaki-san thinks,
16:57but I'd like to stay with him forever.
17:04That's right.
17:13Okay. I wonder if Shima will be happy.
17:18I feel like lately, Shima's all I've been thinking about.
17:23Shima!
17:26Huh?
17:31Shima?
17:34Shima!
17:45Shima!
17:48I'm sorry, Isaki-san.
17:50I went back to get you a towel.
17:53Is something wrong?
17:59Shima!
18:05I swear, thank goodness!
18:07Isaki-san?
18:08Thank goodness you're here!
18:10Ow, my legs!
18:19Shima, just now...
18:29Shima...
18:41Stupid ocean!
18:46It's coming from you?
18:49Shall we go back?
18:51Yeah.
18:56Kawauchi!
18:58Kusatsu.
18:59How's the action committee going?
19:01It's a lot of work.
19:05What?
19:07Well, you've got, like, a good vibe to you recently.
19:12So I guess karaoke's out again today.
19:15I think I want to go.
19:17Whoa, for real?
19:18What? Karaoke?
19:20I'll go too.
19:21Oh, me too!
19:22It's been a while, so you want to go to karaoke in town?
19:24Huh? That's far.
19:29Shima sure is late.
19:33I'm home!
19:35Welcome back, Shima. You're late, huh?
19:37Sorry, this present is for you.
19:40Oh, buns! Yes!
19:42I sang karaoke with some friends today.
19:45Everyone sang really well.
19:47Hmm, was it fun?
19:53Oh, I'll be late tomorrow getting ready for the culture festival,
19:57so I'll make dinner ahead of time.
20:06As a member of the festival action committee,
20:09every day is busy for Shima.
20:13But even though he's coming home late every night,
20:16he seems a lot happier now.
20:24I'll be back!
20:26Shima!
20:34Later!
20:48Shima will be fine now,
20:50even if I'm not around.
21:16This has your scent.
21:24Shima...
21:27When did I come to like him so much?
21:31How did it happen?
21:34Why, Shima?
21:37Why do I feel this way?
21:44Shima! Good work!
21:46Wait, you're not too chipper. Are you okay?
21:49I'm not okay at all.
21:52Because you're working the hardest, Shima.
21:54Here, I'll give you this.
21:58But aren't we selling that?
22:00It's your reward.
22:01You were staring at it before, right?
22:04You want to give it to someone?
22:05Yeah.
22:11Actually,
22:13Isaki-san and I haven't talked much recently.
22:29My bike is gone.
22:33Isaki-san!
22:50I wonder where he went.
22:53He's gone, so he must be at the beach.
22:57Maybe he went there to catch some fish.
23:00But how did he plan on getting home?
23:03The way back is all uphill.
23:06That's right. He's a merman.
23:11Don't tell me he plans to go back to the ocean.
23:29Isaki-san!
23:34Are you here, Isaki-san?
23:36Isaki-san!
23:42Isaki-san, please come out!
23:45Isaki-san!
23:48The truth is,
23:49when I consider Isaki-san,
23:50it might be better not to chase him.
23:52But...
24:01Isaki-san!
24:25Are you an idiot?
24:29I thought your heart would stop.
24:32It's because you...
24:38I mean, you disappeared after all.
24:42Isaki-san...
24:45Let's go back, Isaki-san.
24:53I can't go back.
24:55I'll say this clearly.
24:57I've gotten tired of life on land.
25:00Also, you don't need me now, Shima.
25:03I have no reason to go back.
25:06But...
25:08And you have others besides me.
25:10Human friends.
25:12You should just have fun with them.
25:14Go on.
25:15Get yourself a wonderful girlfriend.
25:19You and her.
25:21I don't need that.
25:23I don't need some girlfriend.
25:28I already have someone I really like.
25:34I like you.
25:40But Shima, I'm a merman.
25:43I cherish you, Isaki-san.
25:55In the ocean...
25:59I never knew these kinds of emotions.
26:03When I was at home alone with you gone,
26:07I'd get so lonely.
26:09But I...
26:11I didn't even have the legs to go meet you.
26:14I hated myself for that.
26:16So...
26:19What does it matter?
26:22What does it matter? It's fine.
26:24That's the real you.
26:27That's what you said, Isaki-san.
26:34I...
26:36I like you.
26:38Regardless...
26:44I can't win against you, can I?
26:46I swear.
26:58Shima...
27:01If I go back, it will be on one very important condition.
27:05Yes?
27:09Call me Isaki.
27:11No san.
27:16That would be... adequate?
27:20Yes, just fine.
27:22Shima, say it.
27:26Isaki...
27:27I can't hear you.
27:32Isaki...
27:37Yes.
28:02Iki tsui de

28:37Should we have fish for dinner?
28:39Sounds good.
28:40Okay, I'll go catch something.
28:42I'll be back later tonight. See you!
28:44Shima!
28:48I love you.
28:55Me too.
