a.k.a. catching up

Fumie was in the kitchen, making various platters of food. She had several already on the table behind her. Shigeru ducked under the beads in the doorway and lifted the plastic wrap off one. He picked up a breaded shrimp and bit half of it off. He smiled. "That's very good!" Fumie turned around and said, "That's not for you." He said, "You haven't fixed this much food in a while." She nodded. "It has been a while since I had a visitor like this, too."
feast and talk )
Today's episode ended with bits from next week. Shigeru staring at a blank page, Shigeru pushing through a jungle. Inui, Japan's smallest publisher. Kinuyo winking. Shigeru talking to a purple manga figure standing in a stream, who asks, "Who are you?"

a.k.a. doesn't anybody have money?

This episode started with flashbacks from yesterday's episode -- the old first sheet of Hakaba no Kitaro, Sugiura saying that he hasn't given up on kamishibai, even though the era is over, Sugiura sleeping on the kitchen floor under a blanket, Shigeru talking about kamishibai being over...

Fumie was outside hanging up the wash. Shigeru came out and said, "I'm going to go out for a walk." Sugiura followed him, saying, "Good morning. It's such a beautiful day, I'm going to walk with him." He went into the street, as Shigeru stepped closer to Fumie and said, "Could I have some money? Enough for the coffeeshop?" Fumie got out the wallet, and handed him a bill. "Is that enough?" He said, "Maybe a little more?"
money, money, money... )
Sugiura said, "There goes my money again."

Fumie just looked bewildered.

This episode started with Shigeru and Fumie walking the bicycles, listening to the sound of running water. The voice over said it was their first date.

The round-faced man pushed forward, into the kitchen. As they stared at him, he said, "You're Mizuki!" Then he opened his black bag, and pulled out ... one of Shigeru's books. "I read your book! You're great!" And he hauled out another and another book. "I'm your fan!"

This episode ended with a medley of upcoming scenes -- more like teasers of scenes, they were very short. Policemen, Fumie in tears, etc.

a.k.a. What have I gotten myself into?

This episode picked up with Fumie looking at the old house and saying, "It can't be true..." Then the driver asked if there was a message for the brother-in-law or sister? She said tell them thanks. Shigeru struggled to open the sliding wooden gate, and they stepped inside. The driver stood by his car, looked at the house, and said to himself, "What a house!"
the neighbors are quiet... )
And back with Shigeru, Fumie timidly peeked through the doors into the work room. "I'm sorry to interrupt..." Shigeru just kept drawing, and she walked in and peeked over his shoulder. A one-eyed monster! She backed up, looking at the monsters on the sheets he has stacked around him. He turned and looked at her over his shoulder.

The voice over told us that Fumie had never seen such monsters before...

And the episode ended with a medley of short upcoming scenes.
