My name is Kawahara Koume.
17 years old. High school junior.
This is my dad.
47 years old.
He works at a cosmetic company.
These are the precious, legendary peaches.
- One day, we.... - Delicious.
- Koume! - Dad!
... switched bodies without any warning.
- Dad?! - Koume?!
- I'll die if you look at me naked. - If we tell the truth,
... they'll think we've gone insane.
- No! - Sounds like you're a different person.
... that's why we can never tell Mom or anyone else.
So, until we get back to our normal bodies,
we switched lives.
Even for my first date with, Kenta- senpai, the person I love the most,
I had to leave it up to my dad, the person I hate the most.
I trust that you're going to take this seriously.
Why is he so late? Kids these days...
And yet...
Sorry Dad. I can't leave it all up to you!
Sorry. Did you wait a long time?
No, not really.
Well, high school relationships are pure and fresh.
Kawahara!
Here he comes.
- Sorry to keep you waiting. - Nice to meet you.
The movie theater is... just around the corner.
Let's go.
The reason Koume and I switched bodies was to ruin this date.
This is what you call blessing from heaven.
Thank you, God.
(Luchino Visconti Collection)
Visconti...
Is this okay?
Visconti? (The best art school. Italian masters.)
Ludwig?
Helmut Berger?
Berger... sounds like food.
Um... Kawahara?
If you don't like it, we can go somewhere else.
I didn't think I'd be able to... see such a nostalgic film.
Nostalgic...?
Let's hurry. We have to get center seats.
H-Hold on. Let me go buy tickets.
Oh, thanks for your trouble.
Koume!
Why are you here?
Nostalgic? Kawahara Koume has never seen such an old movie!
Didn't I tell you?
When I was a student, I was in both the rugby team and the movie club.
Tell that to someone who cares.
You promised me yesterday.
You weren't going to say anything you don't need to.
Make sure you keep up your cuteness and friendliness.
Got it, got it. Cute and friendly.
Kawahara? Huh?
Kawahara?
Yes~?
That's going overboard.

Episode 2: We're over!? Dad's Fired!?
These guys must be from outside Tokyo.
Visconti's most famous work is Death in Venice.
Eh?
Oh, but the Leopard was good too.
The Leopard?
I prefer dogs over cats anyday.
Visconti was born into the oldest
noble family in Italy, as the third son of
the Duke of Mondrone, Giuseppe Viscoti.
W-What a long name...
Who needs to know that! He's completely weirded out!
Hey, it's starting.
(You talk too much!)
This is kinda romantic.
But that means...! Oh no...!
No way! Don't tell me he chose this movie for that!
I want­ him to hold my hand­
But not now! If he holds Koume's hand right now, that'll mean­
Ew!
I want him to hold my real hand...
Kenta-senpai! Kenta-senpai!
Kenta-senpai!
I had no idea you were such an old man inside­
Good-bye.
No!
- Kenta-senpai, stop! - One, two, three, four­
- Kenta-senpai, wait! - Shoot!
Hey!
No~~~!!
Oh, I fell asleep.
Oh well. This was so boring.
Hey, where's Kenta-senpai?
Guess it was boring for him too.
Naturally.
Man, classics never fails to get old.
Guess I'll buy the DVD for it.
Oh, and also its soundtracks.
Huh?
It's over.
Here.
Sorry. It was hella boring, wasn't it?
I admit it wasn't a very good movie for dates.
See, I'm always playing soccer,
so I didn't know what to do when I'm with girls.
Huh?
I thought you'd make fun of me if it the movie was too stupid, so­
I tried to be smart.
I'm such a loser...
Not at all. It was really interesting.
Huh?
Dad! What are you gonna say?
Visconti can be long and wordy,
but its unique decor is nice.
It's brilliant no matter how many times you watch it.
Wait­ you've seen this many times?
Yep. Five or six times.
Well, if you enjoyed it, then it's all good, I suppose.
Of course, no duh.
You've got a nice taste.
The truth is, I've made the same mistake as this young lad in my earlier days.
It was like looking at myself,
and so I couldn't help but to forgive him.
You like movies, huh.
I thought you'd enjoy playing outside more.
Not at all.
My favorite activities are watching movies and reading.
Even the people on dating sites don't say that anymore!
Reading?! Really? What kind?
Huh? He sounds interested.
Like...
Shiba Ryutaro.
No way! Me too!
Did you read like, Ryoma ga Yuku?
Of course!
But Moeyo-Ken was good too.
Hijikata Toshizo!
I know!
In that scene when he yelled, "I'm Hijikata Toshizo, the deputy leader of Shinzengumi!!"
When he said, "The only time Shinsengumi has business with you
is when we come to slay you!"
That was the best part.
I know! That was the best!
Where did this common interest come from?
Guys are weird...
Oh, yeah, I was gonna ask you...
Of course, you can't!
You can't eat with him. We're going home.
Can I have a cherry blossom flavor and a green tea flavor?
But you know~ It's not that easy to decline~
Don't pull that high school girl act on me now!
You sure you want me to turn down this invitation?
This may be the last time...
But... isn't something wrong here?
What is?
You were so against this date in the first place.
Why are you going to go eat with him now?
Are you planning something?
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Fine. If you insist, then I'll turn him down.
Huh?
The faster I leave, the more he'll think you're a tough girl to woo
and so no one will dare to get close to you and I'll be happy.
Hold it!
I'll let you go in for 30 minutes max.
But promise me you won't say too much!
Got it.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
You're probably hungry, huh.
I heard this place is good.
Welcome.
What do you want?
Alright. This is where the real plan starts.
225 grams of Rim-In-Plate
and the Fried Chicken set.
Large for fries.
And­ pork-and-egg sandwich.
O-Okay.
Well, I'll go find seats. I'll leave the rest to you.
Damn that geezer.
Then I'll get...
Now all guys are going to lose interest in a girl that eats like a pig.
You've got phonecall! You've got phonecall!
I've saw through your plan already.
You want to make him hate me for eating so much?
Not to mention no one makes him order and go eat down by herself first.
But I'm not very familiar with the fast food stores...
I said don't pull that high school girl act on me now!
Oh, here he comes.
Kawahara, sorry to keep you waiting.
Anyhow, just sit and smile and nod at what he says.
After you finish eating, come straight home.
Do this or else!
Okie.
This is a disaster.
He's trying to make me look bad...
And his plan is working!
I went to an elementary school reunion the other day.
There was a guy who looked completely different...
With blond hair and piercing.
I didn't recognize him at first.
Hello? Yes, it's me. I heard.
Your attitude is horrible.
Can't you at least react?
...then he suddenly started talking to me.
He asked me, "Are you Kenta?" and I was so surprised.
Can't you try making a conversation?!
You're acting like you don't even care!!
So I got really nervous and I was trying really hard to fake my way through.
You told me not to eat and talk, so I'm nodding. Stop being so demanding.
It's quite rude typing a text message when someone's talking to you!
...Sorry.
And then I finally got it!
Um... I guess I was boring you, huh.
Not really.
There are better ways to phrase that!!
Forgive me, Koume. I'm doing this for you.
Why me...
Losing my body was bad enough...
If Kenta-senpai loses interest in me...
I hate you, Dad!!
Now you can get home before 9.
Hey, at least he's got common sense.
You don't have to be that depressed...
Oh well, I guess I should at least thank him.
Um.
Thanks for today.
I guess I was too boring.
Exactly... No one likes girls like me...
That's not true. I had a lot of fun.
- No way! - Really?
I guess things are different outside school.
I got to know you a lot better.
It was interesting.
Like how old your taste in movies and books are.
I'm happy we have similar interests.
When we were eating,
you listened to me even though I wasn't a good speaker.
That meant a lot.
How you eat a lot is...
cute... in a way.
It's nice... in a way...
Did my plan backfire?
This is fine. My house is just up there.
- I'll take you home. - It's okay.
Thank you so much. Take care.
Can't you say something more considerate? Sheesh.
Kawahara!
Can we... meet again?
I mean... I want to see you again.
- What? - Seriously?!
I can't take you off my mind­ in a way...
Guess I need to be more specfic.
No! Is he... confessing his love to me?!
Kawahara... I...
Uh... n...
What should I do?
He's probably trying to confess to me.
I've been waiting for this moment for half a months.
At first, I was just sqealing over the soccer players because everyone else was.
But...
when I first saw Kenta-senpai practicing even though he was one of the best players,
I couldn't take my eyes off him.
I pleaded with Ritsuko who's the manager of the soccer team
to introduce him to me.
This is Kawahara Koume, in class 2-5.
- Hello. - Nice to meet you.
- Good-bye. - Yeah.
I had a crush on him ever since then.
Since Senpai is finally confessing to Kawahara Koume,
But...
Kawahara.
But...
But I still want him to confess to the real me!
Koume!
Papa!
Dad?
Koume!
Papa!
Dad?
I am Koume's father.
I'm Oosugi. We go to the same high school.
She is an incompetent daughter,
but please take care of her for a long, long time.
Please make her happy.
Huh?! S-Sure...
So when I get back to my body,
please confess to me!
Otherwise I might just confess to you­
Sir, my hand...
Sorry. I gripped it too hard.
Sorry. My dad's a bit on the strange side.
I've really gotten fond of you.
I have so much to thank you.
No, I do.
Get away from him.
Well, I'll leave your right here.
See you at school.
Oosugi-kun!
Bye-bye!!
Koume, listen carefully.
Young lads like him looks gentle but
he's thinking of completely unimaginable things!
Does that mean...
when you first went on a date with Mom­
you were thinking of things like...
when to kiss her?
Nonsense! I'm not like that. What are you talking about!?
But I'm relieved.
You're pretty good, Dad.
Pretty good... ?
What I mean is,
thanks for making things work out!
When was the last time she thanked me...?
I'm so lucky!
At this rate, maybe I'll be back to normal by tomorrow!
One, two, three, hey!!
Two, two, three, phoo!
What's up? You look happy.
Nothing.
Why don't you­ take bath first?
If I go first, Koume would complain.
Huh? Oh... okay... sure...
You've got phonecall! You've got phonecall!
Work on Sunday?!
Yep. There's an important meeting on Tuesday,
so in preparation for that.
I'm too lazy.
I worked hard today. It's your turn now.
Fine.
Now, the current president of my company is the fourth one.
The project I'm doing right now
began 9 months ago by the order of this president.
The Beauty Series of our Bisei Cosmetics has
always enjoyed valuble consumer trust since its establishment, but--
--our sales haven't done as well as it used to recently.
And so the new president said we should manufacture a new product to sell.
That is what I believe.
Therefore, we will stake our company luck into developing
a new perfume targeted at the younger generation.
We will call this the Rainbow Dream.
And that new product is this.
I've already seen it.
But this perfume industry is a bad territory for our company.
What's bad territory?
Meaning we aren't very skilled in it.
15 years ago we made another perfume that didn't sell
and costed us a couple million dollars.
Come on, this says it's for high schoolers to people in their early 20s,
but I don't even want it.
This is never gonna sell.
I'm sure it's not "never"...
The fact was, that's what everyone was thinking
but couldn't say out loud.
Normally this would have been a new project to take a stab at.
Yet this was almost entirely a new field for us.
Not to mention it's manufacturing a completely new product.
There were too many risks involved.
People who wants promotions hates these risks.
After pushing the project this way and that,
Sakuragi, the youngest board member in the history of the company
took the initiative.
We will do this project.
He had both the ability and the luck.
The PR section recently got promoted
to the new PR department.
Now I'm finally a department head.
Sakuragi who had to manage both the PR dept and the advertising dept
gave the whole project to the new Uekusa department head.
I'm leaving this to you.
Yet Uekusa who didn't want to take the responsibity...
How about we take people from each section and create a project team?
(Passed)
And the person he picked as the leader for this hopeless project was...
me who had just been promoted as the deparment manager.
Yet... to explain all this to Koume would damange my dignity as a father.
Let's not.
So basically, the meeting you have is where you have to present to the reckless president
what you're going to sell and how you're going to sell it?
Exactly. You understand things pretty quick for a teenager.
And you call this meeting the "Imperial Council"
just so it sounds cool like in old times, right?
No.
I'm serious.
Well, we've worked to save this thing from becoming futile
and finally came up with something mediocre.
I really need you to do this.
I'm not sure what you mean by futile or mediocre,
but... I'll do my best.
Koume!
You can take bath now!
We only have 10 minutes while Mom dries her hair!!
Hurry! Hurry!
Again?!
Well, the preparation for the meeting's almost all done.
The only thing you need to do tomorrow is sign places you're told to.
I can't stand doing nothing.
That's part of being an average worker.
I'll be in the cafe nearby, just in case.
What about studying for my test on Monday?
Leave it to me.
My grades were pretty good in high school--
Koume!
Do you need more shampoo?
Huh?! I thought I heard Koume's voice­
Must have been your imagination.
Didn't you say you were going after Koume?
Must have been your imagination.
Can you get out now?
This is for Koume...
Dad!!
I thought I was a goner.
Me too.
Young bodies are so light!
But she could have at least let me take off her bra when I sleep.
I can't stand wearing this 24/7.
Come in.
Huh? Why aren't you... studying for your test?
I'm a little tired. I'll do it tomorrow.
Good night.
Hey... don't you think Dad's a little weird?
...Weird? How?
He was doing a dance that you always do.
And he was acting weird in the bathroom.
I think... he's avoiding eye contact with me...
Can you think of anything, Koume?
...No, nothing.
I see...
Why don't you... ask him directly?
I'm sure Koume can make up better excuses than me.
I guess.
Sorry for asking you such a weird question.
What... Mom?
Why are you wearing your bra to your sleep?
It's a new health technique.
Everyone at school's doing it.
Maybe I should try.
- Okay. Good night. - Good night.
Women's sixth sense is scary.
Here you go.
I don't read stuff like this!
Don't let your guard down even at home!
And you're sitting in the wrong seat.
You too!
Mom told me you were acting weird and that you're avoiding her!
What can I do?
It's bad enough going to sleep with her.
I see.
I know it's tough, but try to be nicer to her.
How?!
Here you go!
And here.
Oh, Dad, let me fix your tie.
It's okay. I can do it myself.
I mean... Mom, will you?
Here you go.
Thanks for everything.
I love you.
Don't do that in front of Koume! You're so embarrassing!!
That's going overboard.
Good morning!
Huh? You didn't have to come, Leader!
Wait, are you here because I complained that
you're the only one who doesn't have to work on weekends?
Not really...
I thought so!
I think Dad would have came regardless of that.
Kirihara Design says they haven't received the reports.
Were you in charge of that, Nishino-san?
Um...
No, that was Shiina-san.
Looks like she's late as usual.
Kana-chan again?!
Good morning!
- Oh, hey, Kana-chan. - Good morning!
Kana-chan, did you, by any chance, sent the reports to Kirihara Design?
Oh.
I forgot.
I see!
Shiina-san can't do anything
but she's the daughter of a major department chain president
so no one scolds her.
Kana-chan, can you like, go deliver them now?
I don't know where the office is.
Oh, I'll do that.
Really? You'll do that?!
I'll be back before we organize the survey data.
- Sorry to make you do this! - Thank you!
- Bye. - Bye. Take care.
You shouldn't have left this important job to that spoiled princess!
Sorry.
Kana-chan, look!
This is the CD with all the data from the research company.
Will you print this out for us?
All you have to do is print it out!
My hand gets dry when I touch paper.
What a nightmare.
But you just have to print this, okay? Here.
I should have went to deliver that instead...
just kidding.
Haha that's funny.
Even high school girls are more responsible than she is.
Kana-chan~
Will you burn the music for the commerical onto a CD for me?
I'm a little busy today.
My fake nails just fell off.
You can do this after your nails. Please?
- Thank you. - Okay.
Hello? So, how is everything?
I don't think I even need to be here.
You do need to be there!
...I think.
Forget this. Are you studying for my test?
I am, of course.
The most important things are
the copies of Ritsuko's notes.
Ri-chan is so nice.
She gives me copies without me having to say anything.
You've got good friends.
I don't care about that right now.
I seriously won't forgive you if you fail this.
I know that.
Really.
I was suppose to go on a date today on my dad's cruiser!
I know how she feels.
It's so boring here.
I mean, why do I have to do this? It's not my job!
But she should at least help out when everyone else is so busy.
Dad, on the other hand, can't even get assigned a job.
Leader, we're going out to lunch now.
Lunch!?
- Where do you want to go today? - Where should we go today?
Wait, who am I going to eat lunch with?
Is this a form of bullying?
Is Dad getting singled-out?
I'm back.
Hey, are those Notting Hill muffins?
Yes. I bought them when I was running the errand.
Have you heard of them?
Of course.
It's featured in magazines and it's suppose to be popular among the rich people in London.
I've always wanted to try them.
Me too.
I bought too much... so would you like some?
Can I?
You're amazing, Nishino-san.
You know all the good stores.
You're amazing, too. You must have been studying a lot.
Studying?
Rainbow Dream is targetting young girls,
so you've been studying what young girls like to buy, huh.
Of course. Anything for work.
Otherwise you won't have known about Notting Hill
because it's not a common store.
Getting the latest information is the basic of the basics.
Leader, you're just like a high school girl!
That tempura was simply the best!
Yep it was!
Oh, they're back.
Oh, wait, I want to talk to you about something.
Can you make time for me either today or tomorrow?
Talk? Sure. Whenever.
Then...
What?! You deleted it all?!
What's wrong?
Oh, it's just that Kana-chan accidentally saved something
over the survey data, so it's all gone.
Was that something important?
It's the survey we asked 1000 high school girls on this product.
It's a critical piece for the meeting!
Oh, that's right.
Let's ask the research company to send us the data again.
The thing is, the person in charge is on a business trip for the whole week
so we can't get in touch with him.
He said he can't get the data because of security or something.
Then why don't we just do another survey?
To make time for organizing the data,
we need the survey results by 6:30pm at the latest.
But to find 1000 people is a little...
It took the company a week, you know!
Um... can't we submit the report later?
I heard Horibe-san in the planning department
got transferred because he couldn't get all the reports ready by the meeting.
Getting transferred isn't bad considering the fact that we could be fired.
The board member, Sakuragi-san, places such an emphasis on results.
Fired?!
Well, guess you've gotten yourself into a predicament,
Nakajima-kun. You're in charge of this, right?
What? But this job was done by Maeda and Mifune.
Yes, but we acted entirely under your support.
We aren't experienced yet.
Shut up! I'm just doing everything Leader told me to.
Leader, sorry for being such useless, disappointing team member!
Sorry!
What? Is this now all Dad's responsibility now?!
Calm down, Koume. This happens all the time.
Things will work out.
It's the leader's job to take responsibility for his member's mistakes.
But I heard Horibe-san got transferred because of that.
So that's what happened...
And they said Sakuragi-san would most likely fire people for it.
I can imagine the insensible Sakuragi-san doing that...
Is something wrong? Are you okay?
Hey! Are you okay?
Of course he's not okay.
Leader's already out of line for promotion.
I know.
Which means the next leader would be Nakajima-san.
I know.
By the time he becomes one, there will be no more team.
I know.
You guys are invading my personal bubble.
If I get fired, how am I going to support my family from now on?
Not to mention I still have house loans to pay!
Must be stressful, having to worry about those at this age...
Excuse me.
If Dad gets tired, I'll probably have to quit school...
And I won't be able to see Kenta-senpai either.
I'll have to say good-bye to Ritsuko and the others too!
I should have made more friends in high school.
Friends...?
That's it!
Come on now, don't cry.
You can't do anything just by crying.
We might be able to get all the surveys in by 6:30.
No, we will!
Leave it to me.
Let's do all we can.
Forwarding a text message?
You know the folder called "Friends" in my address book?
Yeah?
I want you to forward the message to everyone on that list.
What are you planning to do?
There's no time to explain. Just do it quick.
Do you want to... go somewhere
over the summer... like overnight?
Overnight? Haha that's so funny!
Hey, it's from Koume.
It's me, Koume. The most important favor of my lifetime.
Wonder what it's about.
Sorry! I need your help with my dad's work.
It's a little survey, but can you go to this URL by 6:30?
What the heck?
And I want you to forward this to every high school girl you know.
Send it to your middle school friends and your friends' friends. Just everyone!
Impressive. You can prepare this in such a short amount of time.
Thank you.
But will they really come?
I've asked my...
daughter's friends.
Looks like there aren't any submissions yets.
I see.
There's a test tomorrow after all...
I guess everyone's too busy for this.
- Anything? - None yet.
1000 answers by 6:30 is downright impossible.
He's so bold.
His job is on the line.
But Nishino-san is so nice.
I mean, this is Kana-chan's mistake in the first place.
I always have to coax Kana-chan into doing stuff for me.
I'm sorry... I...
Shiina-san, we still have time.
No, you dont.
Yeah. I mean, sorry to be blunt but.
I guess since there's a test tomorrow­
But wait! Don't people usually take a break at 6pm
to watch Chibi Maruko-chan?
I do.
Leader! Look at this!
We got something?
The surveys are being sent in all at once!
Yes!
Isn't it great?
Wait, hold on. Sorry, can I see?
Wow, there's already 300 replies!
At this rate, we can get 1000!
We'll make it in time!
Really? Thank goodness. Phew.
So everyone do watch Maru-chan even in high school!
I knew you'd pull through, Leader.
Leave the rest up to us. We'll get it ready in time.
I'll leave it to you then.
Leader, Nishino-san, and everyone else, I'm really sorry.
Please give me another chance!
I-It's okay. Don't worry about it anymore.
I'll help you print them out.
Oh, okay! Let's do it!
Then, Maeda-san, will you tally up the surveys?
Okay!
- Mifune, go help him too. - Okay.
This is good. Everything's going great.
I think things are going awesome!!
I see. So everything worked out huh.
Yep. I had to stay late, but I'm going home now.
Sorry I couldn't help you.
It's all thanks to Ritsuko and others who helped me.
Besides, I wouldn't want you to get laid off.
Because the whole family all have the same fate.
You're right. Thanks, Koume.
Oh, and Shiina-san was willingly helping others.
She was?
That made me happy.
I was hating work because everyone was so selfish here.
But even Shiina-san was helping out like that...
I was happy when I realized everyone will work hard
if they see me working hard.
I suppose all your friends helped you out
because you're always helping them out.
Well, I was able to work hard today partly because
you worked hard on my date yesterday.
Oh, Leader!
Later.
Is something wrong?
Thank you for your hard work today.
You were brilliant.
I won't have been able to do anything without you, Nishino-san.
Leader, about the talk I mentioned earlier...
could you make time for me tonight?
Huh?
What's your constellation?
Huh?
Your constellation.
What? Why is she with Nishino-san?
- Really? You don't. - Nope.
- I'm type A. - Really? My blood type is O.
Huh? What?!
This way, Leader.
What kind of women do you like, Leader?
- Women? - Yes.
- Oh, over there. - Ayu.
Ayu? I didn't expect that!
Yes, Ayu. It's not a fish, by the way.
I know that.
Right here.
Somehow Nishino-san doesn't seem like her usual self.
What's this feeling that's bothering me?
