Atashin no Danshi Episode 11

Hey Folks!

Here is the last episode of Atashin no Danshi Episode 11! I'm flying off today after my class. So I wont be able to blog anything in detail today. I'll try to do it asap. Meanwhile, I skim through the video and below is the snippets that I have. Some parts (words) I forgot the meaning and dont have time to check my dictionary so I will fill it in / correct later.

Watch Pandora last episode

アタシんちの男子 第11話: BRIEF SUMMARY

- Inoue played the last voice and image of Shinzo to the crowd and halted the castle invasion.
- Shinzo said he was expecting this moment and warned Tokita the secretary against destroying the castle, and also called out his children's name one by one and then told them about a book. The way to protect what is important is written inside. However the book will be destroyed the same day Chisato's contract expired in 2 more days.
- Just when he was saying "the last thing", the image disappeared. Tokita ignored Shinzo's words and still wanted to charge ahead to the castle but last minute he stopped.
- The next day, Fuu finished the helmet and placed it over the robot
- When they reach the 1000 task, they were stumped when asked for Inoue's first name. The helper appeared and challenged Chisato to another armwrestling, saying she would tell them if Chisato do it. Chisato beat her and found out her first name is rosemary! The laywer appeared and told them they cleared the challenges!
- The lawyer appeared telling Chisato she has to saw all her brother's names into the wrist band
- When they ate together and said Ittadakimasu, the robot shine a light at Shinzo portrait and it revealed a map! The kids did as instructed and a light shone up the chandeliar, and the steps gave way revealing a secret door!
- Just as they are fretting, Masaru solved how to open the door inside the tunnel!
It was with the palm print but still didnt work! They noticed one more canvass in the middle, and Chisato asked "Me?" They guys nodded and when she complete the palm print
- Chisato's friend help provide answer to the last question they couldnt solve, and they saw the inheritance of bar gold and a book
- Chisato went out to get the secretary and told him they have to talk. Chisato revealed the book and the story within....
- The secretary didnt take the money in the end and left.
- At the final drinks together, Shou informed Chisato about the plans to leave. Akira has contacted his mom and will be with her, and Satou said he will meet his parents etc.
- Chisato thought about the times they had been fightin and laughing together and started crying. The guys tried to console her and told her they had a good time together too.
- Shou kicked Takeru and he woke, (in half stupor?) and told Chisato they will always be a family
- Chisato was alone outside looking at the scene and Shou walked over to join her. She asked where is everyone else and Shou told her they had gone to sleep.
- However shortly Shou noticed and threw a stone at the bush and hit the hiding brothers spying on them! Fuu made fun of Shou and asked SHou to hurry up and kiss Chisato
- Shou declined and started to walk off but the brothers caught up with him and shove him towards Chisato but Shou escaped!
- Next day, the guys left one by one leaving Chisato sitting alone in the dining room....

*Aikira boarded a bus
*Satou went back to his parents place
*Masaru continued with his modelling
*Takeru woke at construction site
*Fuu took over Shinzo's company (wearing Shinzo's attire) and the secretary continue to report to Fuu. The lawyer also continued her work and Fuu asked her if she was free that night for a meal. She asked if its a date..and Fuu grin and replied "I wonder..." ...the happy lawyer did her "yeah " stance! (She finally got her wish!)
* At the playgrd, Shou told his son when he is 23 years he must also still be smiling like now
* Chisato was alone and went thru the photo album of the family moments..

Just then, Takeru burst thru the door, and Akira follow suit saying taking the plane is impossible, followed by Satou, Masaru, a very tired Fuu and lastly Shou saying "I'm home"

Chisato was puzzled seeing everyone being back with their bags but saw everyone was wearing the wristband she had made for them..Shou was asking Chisato about later and Satou asking what's that but Shou said its none of his business. Masaru chirped in teasing Shou that's cold.The boys started squabbling (soo funny! I was laughing quite a bithere). Chisato told them to be quiet and ask them what they are doing. The boys stood up (they said something together I didnt quite catch) and they started to strip off their top! They threw their shirt at each other while Chisato was telling them to stop and not do it there, but the guys ignore her. I think the ending Chisato said something about "i dislike it when the guys are like that" ( Will double check again when i get to rewatch the video at leisure).

The end

Afterthoughts
Too bad they didnt show Shou and Chisato together but I think the idea is that the rest of the family prob will approve anyway:) So its up to the viwers's imagination. However, I did wish they could have been more outward in expressing their liking for each other to be more selfishly satisfying for me. The ending was ok. It wasnt a let down but it wasnt really a super climax ending for me either. It felt abit of rushed for the ending esp since we all know it will end happily, so there was little surprise in the end...

Manga: Hapi Mari


I started laughing when I saw page one of the most recent chapter 142 of Skip Beat. This is a great chapter and the valentine build up is getting more exciting with Shou and Ren discovering Kyoko's chocolate secret.. I had to laugh so much at her comical expressions throughout the chapter! Hee heeee. I simply cannot wait for them to decide and start on Season 2 of the animation...

Meanwhile, just started on a new manga romance series - Hapi Mari., scanlated by Aerandria. Honestly, Aerandria really pick the best projects and most of the series that they do are pretty nice.

As far, the first 4 chapters are out. Its about this O.L who had to pay off her clueless father's debt and in the end saved by her company president. They got married and so tha story revolves round the relationship build up between them. It's quite funny really these first chapters. She is soooo innocent that borders on impossible but well, its comic.:) The drawings are good, and as usual, pretty girl with goodlooking guy. It's probably another predictable plot but comic reading is to destress and be entertained, not to mention the drawing board for great drama series! heee hee. So for those interested in Manga, check this series out. It has a rating of 4.92 out of 5 to date.

WHat happened was that 5 years ago, the sister was assaulted by this bad guy at her brother's place. To protect her, her brother killed the attacker but because he suffer from 1hr only memory recollection, he forgot he had killed someone.

What the pianist didnt know was that the guy had quickly written down 4 musical note to conceal as the pianist name which was discovered by Ryu during the concert. Physical evidence and survelliance cam turned up by the IPS lab also assisted the police to narrow down the pianist as the suspect.

Afterthoughts
Its a good episode. I thought it was pretty touching. Somehow though, the episode are becoming more predictable...hmmm.. however in the same episide leading to the next story, I laughed so hard at Hiro's expression when he said "45!" refering to the gun murder weapon and his partner smacked him on his head asking why he's talking in english. That moment was really funny for me and i burst out laughing! It must Hiro's innocent expression... :)

I LOVE THIS EPISODE!!!!! IT was really really GOOD for me! Alot of emotions and I love teh fact that Shou's feeling has come out in the open to the rest and the truth about Chisato! WOW! What a twister! Love it! So here goes folk! The latest tv guide for this exciting episode!

Atashinchi no Danshi Summary Episode 10

The scene begins with the secretary appearing, informing the brood that they have to shift out as it has been decided that the Miraku's treasure theme park will be built on the castle site. The boys rejected the idea asking why they have to leave but the secretary said they should have been prepared to leave ever sine they were booted out of the line of succession. Fuu asked what if they refused, but the secretary suggested they would be removed by force then. Before the secretary left, he threw the shoe (that was hurled at him after he shut the door) back and the shoe was wedged into the wood with great force to the shock of the family. After he left, Sato was suggesting to ignore the secretary but Fuu said the secretary is someone who means his words.

Fuu then said that Shinzo's only portrait is hung at the castle and not his company nor his home. Which means this place is a special place to his father, and also why they are all living here.

"I have no wish to hand over my father's castle to anyone. When we do leave this place, it has to be of our own decision." Fuu said.

Back in her own room, Chisato recalled the lawyer had once told her that under her bed is a secret passageway out of the castle, and posed the question as to why Shinzo had built so many tricks and traps in this place. Her thoughts were interrrupted by visiting Shou.

"What's up" Chisato asked
"Hmm...actually nothing much...ever since Takeru left, alot of things has happened" Shou replied
"So u are worried about me." Chisato said gently.

Shou took a quick seat and pointed at Chisato, stating she reminds him of a wandering cat he had once adopted. He was making a joke on the cat's name and managed to make Chisato laugh. Shou looked relieved and said being happy will make her feel better, not before adding that Masaru and Sato said it. "Dont get the wrong idea." Shou quickly added. "Of course NOT!" Chisato replied. Shou nodded and added as he stood up tp leave "Well.. just dont be too worried. Good nite"

Meanwhile, Masaru was spying from outside and grabbed Shou, demanding that he had never asked Shou to say those words! "What is your motive towards Chisato?!" Masaru demanded. "Nothing" Shou said with a smile and Masaru pouted.

Next morn Rereading the last letter, Fuu deduced the impt thing is refering to teh Trcikheart castle. Masaru suggested it might mean to protect the castle but Shou shrugged his explanation off being too farfetched. "if one can find the treasure, one can portect the impt thing." Fuu reread out loud. "Maybe it refers to completing all the tasks on the mother's contract?" "Then let's do it!" Chisato chirped in and the guys agreed and turned to look back at the doorway. Chisato then asked how come the lawyer isnt sneaking up on them like before and the boys agreed in silence.

"I'm here." she said and the rest got a shock when they turned back towards the staircase. "The 7 task on the mother's contract.." she began .."Wait a min!" Fuu said. "Wow It's Fuu's showtime!" Masaru excitedly said as Fuu stood up. Sato was specualting if its time for love confession. Akira asked if its time for them to be a couple?

As the lawyer floated in love atmosphere, Fuu brought her back to reality by whipping out a VCD, asking if she rem. "This is the video showing my father's comment promoting the secretary to the company's top seat. It's too strange for the executive board to agree to vote for the secretary who is so hopeless, so I did some investigation and found this. It's kinda strange..... a letter to inform me that the secretary is someone who is evil enough to usurp the company, dont quite understand the meaning of writing this but it would appear its a deliberate attempt to isolate the secretary and have us band together against him."

"What exactly is our father's secret plan?" Shou asked. "Please explain to us" Chisato besseched the lawyer. "Hey say something." Sato added. The lawyer tried to divert using the mother contract but Sato told her not to use such a diversion. Akira said dont pretend to cry. The lawyer got back to business and said the item 7 of mother's contract is to invent something together and passed them a blueprint of the design. It was a helmet design. By the time Fuu realsied, the lawyer has disappeared again.

After the prototype was done, the group asked Masaru to try it on but he tried to wriggle out of it until a sleeping Akira demanded him to try it. Chisato went to see the secretray who had asked to meet and he questioned if the luggaes are all packed. "We dont intend to move out." she replied. The 3 days dateline will be over soon, no matter how you struggle, the castle will be destroyed.

With the invention on his head, Shou asked Masaru how was it? Masaru said he felt nothing in particular to the disapppointment of the rest. Something exploded and Shou asked what was that? A bomb? Fuu asked. The arrived at the source and inside the room, they realised the clock gears have been exploded and dropped. Luckily Chisato is not here masaru said.
Meanwhile on the other end, "I'm not playing." the secretary said seriously to Chisato

"Wasnt the theme park supposed to be built somewhere else? Why destroy the castle which Shinzo san holds dear?" Chisato asked. "Its because its important to him. I only joined Shinzo's company to triump over him. Hence, I want to snatch over everything that man has. Not long, I will kick you all out forcefully. However if u promised u would helped to persuade the guys to leave, I promised to help take care of their future arrangements. I will give Akira a family and a caretaker until he is an adult. I will bear all expenses. As for Sato, I will respect his wishes and provide an environment condusive for his magic training. Takeru and the rest are all adults, so I will only give them a sum of money which I believe is sufficient to satisfy. I believe considering the children's future is also one aspect of a mother's impt responsibility." the secretary said.

Back at Chisato room, her friend appeared saying he was the one who did it but only that he didnt really think it would explode. The boys were very angry and yelled at him but Fuu asked him what exactly was going on. "It was the secretary who had instructed him to do so at a specific time and day. He explained that he thought the device would only stop the sound that Chisato had been complaining about that had disturbed her sleep. He never expect it to be a bomb. "This is a warning to us" Fuu announced. "That if we persist on, Chisato will faced such unexpected incidents again"

Chisato went back facing the boys. She asked to speak first and asked if its alright for all of them to leave the castle. "Didnt the secretary said he would evict us by force? If its true, someone may get hurt."

"What did he say to you?" Fuu asked but she denied. "rather than be forced and not matter how unwilling, we still have to leave eventually." She added.

Shou stepped in to say "No matter what happened, we will continue to stay here."
Masaru said "We have decided. We will protect the castle no matter what happens"
Chisato asked how is it possible?
"Whether it is possible, how would one know without trying?" Akira asked
"I just know. Just give up! Even if we leave this place, it doesnt mean we can never meet again" Chisato tried to convince them
"You are so noisy. If u want to leave, just go alone." Fuu yelled.
"Agreed. It's so hard for us to be finally so united. We have no intention to be of any association with someone like you who wants to flee." Shou said sternly. Chisato tried to disagree and Masaru and Sato said it is true after all that the secretary had said something to her. The guys started to discuss amongst themselves that it is possible she has been bribed since she had come here afterall because of money, and how awlful it is that she might betray them oneday.

"Why would I do that?! We are a family!" Chisato tried to explain.
"Dont get the wrong idea. We are all strangers just living together" Shou said and threw her bag on the table saying "your bag has been packed." "We even spare u the effort to pack, good idea eh?" Masaru added.

"It was your plan to kick me out fom the start right?" Chisato saw thru the plan.
"We aint joking with u." Fuu said seriously. The game of mother has ended and Shou said goodbye kitty. The boys left and Chisato angrily left the castle. She looked back sadly and left while all the guys spied at her departure secretly. After she disappeared from sight, Chisato friend asked how could they do that to her but he brothers were saying if this will be alright but we sure are bad people, but it's of no choice since this is to protect her. We cannot involve her but sure was a surprise that she left. They went on to diiscuss the mother contract is useless now...so we have to protect the castle by themselves but at least we protected Chisato.

"Why did you guys do it?" Chisato friend asked.
"Ot's natural of course! Because we are a family." Shou turned to explain. At that, the rest of the brothers turned to stare at Shou. Sato waved his hand at Shou. Shou took a while and suddenly realised his slipup and went "Eh!" And then quickly said he take back what he said but teh rest ignored him and ran ahead.

Chisato went to look for Takeru who was getting along with his dad happily. She decided to leave but Takeru called out to her to her surprise. He had spotted her and asked what's up.
"I ot chased out." Chisato said and explained the castle situation to him. Everyone? he asked . No just me, she said. Takeru got the idea that the rest of his brothers are staying put to fight till the end. His father asked is it ok if he doesnt go back, and told him to go if he wants to and the happiest thing is not just living with him but rather that Takeru can be happy. Isnt everyone else waiting for your miracle? His dad said to Takeru.
Chisato went back to the Daikon's place.

Meanwhile, the secretary went to Chisato's friend work place and said they are all recruited by the company as they had went for the interviews. The condition is to help chased the brothers out and Chisato's debt will be cleared. However isnt that betraying Chisato? A guy asked. The secretary yelled NOOOOOO and explained they will be hero to save her.

Back at castle. Shou said isnt the contract now impossible to complete? Fuu explained he continued on with the helmet as he couldnt put it down and wondered what is his dad's true intention was. "Do u like Chisato?" Fuu asked. Shou asked what is that abt? Fuu said Sato and Masaru sure like her and Shou agreed saying they are transparent. "She is a good girl I think."
Fuu said. "Cute, strong and can cry for others." Fuu said. "Do u like her too?" Shou asked in surprise. Fuu looked up a little taken back. Looking at Shou, Fuu then smiled and said "My thoughts are also pretty clear isnt it?" Shou looked a little worried...

Back at Daikon's place. Chisato discovered the Miraku's tear gas product and wonder why they are there. She found more items and then a picture of the Daikon guy with Shinzo. She asked what is that and the lawyer appeared saying its abt time to tell her.

Shinzo and Daikon guy are uni friends and Shinzo used to come over and that's how Shinzo met Chisato;s mother. "They were as close as sibilings" the daikon guy said. The lawyer added."15 yrs later, Shinzo met your mother again."

"Your mother has always like shinzo san, and he was in turn attracted to her. and he proposed to her. the two should have married but.... a woman appeared before shinzo saying she has a child with shinzo. That was fuu's mother. That was the first time he had heard of Fuu's existence and he told Chisato's mum truthfully what happened. But your mum suddenly disappeared. At that time, she was also pregnant with Shinzo's child. She left because she didnt want him to know. By the time Shinzo know, your mum had passed away. "

"That child is..." she asked "It's you." Daikon said.
"You are shinzo's child" the lawyer said. "the other guy is your stepdad after you are born." The daikon guy apologised for keeping her in the dark. The lawyer said he is of no fault as it was a favor requested by Shinzo san. The laywer added " It wasnt a chance meeting between you and shinzo. he heard about your debt and being hounded and hence rushed to your rescue."

"Why didnt he tell me truthfully he was my dad?" Chisato asked in shock and tearfully.
"Perhaps he doesnt feel he was qualified to do so. He was prob fearful you would leave and then you wont be able to spend his remaining time together with him" Daikon guy said.

"BUT I am married to shinzo!" Chisato said.The papers are never submitted as the lawyer handed them back to her. This is the whole truth.

This must be a lie , Chisato said.. You guys must be lying to me! She turned to leave and ran out of the house. "its not true. its not true!" Chisato cried to herself and repeatedly told herself.

Back at the house in the sauna room.
Sato asked Masaru "What are we fighting for? They commented its becomes unclear ever since Chisato left. At that The others joined in. Akira asked if the rest are uneasy. Sato said truthfully he was uneasy, as it was a ridiculous change of events. Takeru would make us laugh at this moment, Masaru said and Shou agreed. Sato mimicked Takeru and Masaru said its like missing a piece. Just then, the room opened and Shou was shocked to see Takeru!! The guys were all so excited to see Takeru!! Takeru teased Shou saying obviously he is lonely without him but Shou vehmently denied before breaking into a smile!

Their happy moment was interrupted by the secretary video display. He announced he will be there tomorrow with a huge team. He wanted to reveal a new piece of news and that Chisato never married Shinzo. Shou was asking them not to spew rubbish to try to demoralise them but the secretary said he wasnt and he has other ways to demoralise them. Fuu STOPPED the secretary from continuing and sat before the screen. He told Fuu such a secret shouldnt be kept from the rest. Fuu you knew right? The secretary then revealed, Chisato is Shinzo's daughter!!!
The secretary said Chisato prob only just new about it as the guys are all pondering over the new fact.

Shou asked Fuu why didnt he say something before? Fuu said exactly to prevent such a confused situation like now. But ore imptly, is that Chisato herself doesnt know thw truth.
So she isnt mum...akira said. Takeru was saying isnt it better since now the guys can now bared their heart freely to her. Akira continued to mumbled that Chisato is not a mum. Shou was saying indeed he felt a little lost and Takeru was saying "Hey dont u like that girl too?" Shou asked what Takeru was talking about but Takeru laughed and teased that he saw them kissing

Sato asked Shou what was that about? masaru asked isnt it the accidental kiss? Takeru laughed and said NOT. "He initiated the kiss!" Shou tried to deny, stating it was just a magical moment and he kinda lost himself. Sato punched him and asked what he treated Chisato as?!!! Masaru said didnt Shou said he would help him? Was that a mockery?!!! Sato said Shou is the worst!
Takeru asked if Aikra had really treated Chisato as his mum and the boy retorted why couldnt he and stormed off. Masaru and Sato stormed off too saying that its not worth staying on.
Takeru said why over such emotional things. Shou angrily shoved takeru saying it was all his fault, saying such things at this moment but Takeru said isnt it better for truth to be out? They started to squabble again but Fuu stopped them. Both of them turned to him and pointed out its actually all Fuu's fault for keepin it a secret! I did it with good intentions Fuu said but the other 2 yelled in sync "That's being nosey!!!!" and stormed off.

Back at the shop, Chisato friend went back to the shop and realised everyone else was gone., Chisato appeared and hid in the cubicle still reeling from the truth.She recalled how Shinzo had once said he hoped Chisato would be a girl who cry for others and she had joking teased that he sounded like a father...

Chisato saw her stepdad and they had a heart to heart conversation. He told her that her mum was a wonderful person and he spent half a year trying to convince her to marry him. It didnt matter if Chisato was blood related. Chisato said she heard that he only went gambling to try to pay off her mum's hospital bill for he was a grounded man before. "You truly loved my mum right?" The dad said she was silly to believe those words that chased them out...and that those times they spent together cannot be faked no matter what the guys said.
"Is it alright for the castle to disappear? IS it alright not to help them?" he asked chisato.

AT the castle, Akira announced she is back. The boys rushed out to greet her return only to be pissed it wasnt Chisato! It was the househlp and grumbled they were happy for nothing. Takeru rushed in to state the Maraku people have arrived!!!!!!

The secretary said it has been over a week now and its time for forced eviction!!!
The boys decided...its time to FLee!!!!! Just when they were hiding in the castle, a machine was driven by chisato against the crowd. She launched the tear gas at the crowd!!
Chisato went into the castle. and announced this is her home.

All the boys were crying and claimed it was the tear gas. (side note: Its sooooooo funny this scene!!!) Sato denied crying even with huge tears rolling down...

"Everyone, let's protect this irreplaceable home" Chisato said.
Fuu said then this is an invincible family!

They stepped out of the castle together and faced the crowd.
Chisato announced and declared seriously: "Those castle is under our protection!"
The secretary responded. "Chased them out of this castle!"
