[Chizuru Mizuhara's Love story] Someone who Will Make Me Happy for the Rest of My Life.
Hello, I'm Korakuone. Are you enjoying Kanokari?
Chizuru and Kazuya are one step closer to becoming lovers. But first, there's something I'd like you to look back on! It is
Who Kazuya is to Chizuru now.
In other words, something like Chizuru's feelings for Kazuya. Chizuru Mizuhara is a heroine who accumulates "love". And the form of her "love" cannot be described only in terms of your "exciting love" ([Introduction] Chizuru Mizuhara's Love Story). I would say that it is a love that is united with her trust in Kazuya.
Here, I will summarize Chizuru Mizuhara's, or rather Chizuru Ichinose's, feelings for Kazuya, looking back at their story as it has been depicted in the work!
Someone precious who says, "you can do it".
Someone I want to help
Someone who supports me
After Chizuru realized her love (Chapter 86), it was these three feelings that were portrayed through the crowdfunded movie production.
Someone Precious who Says, "You Can Do It"
For Chizuru today, Kazuya is a precious person who tells her that she can do it. She is able to continue to pursue her dream of becoming an actress because he supports her and gives her the "power to dream".
◆DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE GIVING UP! (53)
Chizuru's dream was to show Grandma Sayuri that she was in a movie. She did not have much time left. That is why she has been whipping herself into shape and moved forward so as not to leave any regrets behind. However, on the day she had decided to quit the rental girlfriend job, she was so depressed that she cried when the stage performance did not lead to a movie performance. At that time, it was Kazuya who cheered her up.
Kazuya tells her that he will rent Chizuru every week to support her as an actress.
◆STUPID...! THAT'S WAY TOO MUCH! (53)
Chizuru, who has always lived a practical and self-conscious life on her own, sometimes loses the ability to dream. Even though she tries to be strong and play the positive person she is to those around her, there are times when the painful reality seems to break her heart. At such times, it was Kazuya who seriously supported Chizuru and gave her the strength to dream, even if there was no basis for it.
Chizuru is so happy that Kazuya made reservations for her that she bursts into tears.
◆I... WANT YOUR DREAMS TO COME TRUE. I REALLY, REALLY DO. (61)
Happy to be told by Kazuya that she has talent, Chizuru tells him, "Let's be fair neighbors”. Furthermore, when she confides her dream to Kazuya that night, he tells her,
LOOKING AT YOU, MIZUHARA, I CAN'T HELP BUT BE IMPRESSED!
I... WANT YOUR DREAMS TO COME TRUE. I REALLY, REALLY DO.
AND I HOPE THAT THE DAY COMES
WHEN I'LL BE ABLE TO SEE IT FOR MYSELF.
He says he wants to see Chizuru fulfill her dreams, and that is why he wants to be there for her. Chizuru, who loves to be praised, must have been happy.
ALWAYS...?
STUPID.
IF YOU SAY YOU WANT TO STAY BY MY SIDE,
THEN I CAN'T TURN YOU DOWN, CAN I?
I MEAN, I AM YOUR 'GIRLFRIEND', AFTER ALL.
She tells Kazuya that she wants to be there for him, even though she says "as a rental girlfriend". From this moment on, Kazuya, who supports her, becomes an essential part of Chizuru's life.
◆BUT.. HAVING SOMEONE THERE TO SAY "WE CAN DO IT"... SOMETHING ABOUT THAT IS REALLY PRECIOUS. AND THAT'S THE TYPE OF GUY HE IS... (125)
The final day of crowdfunding for the movie production. When asked by Umi about Kazuya, Chizuru happily talks about him.
BUT.. HAVING SOMEONE THERE TO SAY "WE CAN DO IT"... SOMETHING ABOUT THAT IS REALLY PRECIOUS.
AND THAT'S THE TYPE OF GUY HE IS...
These words come from the realization that Kazuya supports her. When Chizuru is in real pain, he said, "Don't tell me to give up," "I'll collect the money, Mizuhara, get out!", and rushed over to her. Chizuru always received "the power to dream" from him. Although it was not depicted in the work, Kazuya may have always praised the actress Chizuru Ichinose as amazing and wonderful on their dates.
◆BUT I LIKE HAVING A DREAM... AND I'M GONNA KEEP CHASING IT. (146)
During a preview of the screening venue, Chizuru is stopped by Grandma Sayuri.
MY DEAR CHIZURU... ISN'T FOLLOWING YOUR DREAMS JUST MAKING YOU SUFFER?
When asked this question, Chizuru recalls the day she almost gave up on her dream and cried. But
YEAH, I'VE HAD ALOT OF TOUGH TIMES...
BUT I LIKE HAVING A DREAM...
AND I'M GONNA KEEP CHASING IT.
If Kazuya had not come running to her that day, if he had not been there for her, she would not have been able to say it. Because there is someone who says, "You can do it," Chizuru can continue to pursue her dream of becoming an actress.
◆I'M GONNA KEEP ACTING! (167)
I'M GONNA KEEP ACTING! I LOVE THE THEATER.
AND YOU KNOW, I BET GRANDMA'S WATCHING ME SOMEWHERE OUT THERE.
After the screening of the movie, Chizuru said that she will enjoy chasing her dream with all her might, even if it is sometimes painful. The story of actress Chizuru Ichinose will continue!
Someone I Want to Help
For Chizuru, Kazuya is the benefactor who fulfilled her dream of having Grandma Sayuri see her in a movie. Her gratitude to him is immeasurable. Although Chizuru has always helped Kazuya as a rental girlfriend, her desire to support him would have become even stronger.
◆STOP SAYING THINGS LIKE DREAMS DO COME TRUE..! (102)
Chizuru's dream was one that she absolutely wanted to fulfill for her grandfather, who had supported her throughout her life. Her work as a rental girlfriend and her acting school have all been for that dream.
When Grandma Sayuri's condition worsened, Chizuru almost gave up on her dream as if the threads that had been tightening were breaking.
◆I'LL GET THE MONEY! SO JUST DO IT, MIZUHARA! (102)
But then Kazuya showed up! Kazuya proposes a crowdfunding movie production.
It is a method that Chizuru, who thinks realistically, would surely not have thought of. It may have seemed like a reckless approach. Nevertheless, Chizuru decides to trust Kazuya's words and entrust her dream to him.
◆ALRIGHT! NEXT TIME, I'LL BE THE ONE GIVING IT MY ALL! (117)
Filming begins on the movie production. Chizuru learns from the director of the movie study group about Kazuya's true intentions in proposing the movie production.
BECAUSE OF HER. I OWE IT TO HER.
SHE HELPED ME A LOT AT A TIME WHEN I WAS FEELING REALLY DOWN.
JUST HER BEING BY MY SIDE MADE MEWANT TO TRY HARDER AND KEEP ON GOING.
THA'S WHY NOW IFEEL IT'S MY TURN TO DO SOMETHING FOR HER SAKE!
Until now, Chizuru had thought that Kazuya was just trying to support the actress Chizuru Ichinose. She had also heard from Kazuya himself that he was doing it because he wanted to. But the truth is that Kazuya has always cherished the fact that she helped him as a rental girlfriend when he was heartbroken.
Chizuru tightly knits her mouth.
ALRIGHT! NEXT TIME, I'LL BE THE ONE GIVING IT MY ALL!
◆NEVER ONCE HAVE I REGRETTED MEETING YOU. NOT A SINGLE TIME. (131)
Kazuya did everything from crowdfunding to preparing for the film shoot. Chizuru can only be grateful to Kazuya for helping to make her dream come true.
Meeting Kazuya also changed her life. Even the bad memories of the day they met are precious times for the two of them.
NEVER ONCE HAVE I REGRETTED MEETING YOU. NOT A SINGLE TIME.
NOW HAVE I WANTED TO PUNCH TO YOU? LOTS OF TIMES!
Even though people say he is a scumbag, a moron, and a pathetic man, for Chizuru now he is a benefactor who made her dreams come true.
◆WHEN YOU SAID "LET'S MAKE A MOVIE!" IT... IT MADE ME SO HAPPY. (136)
A shooting trip alone with Kazuya. Chizuru tells Kazuya that this dream was a promise she made to her grandfather. And
SO.. IT MADE ME SO HAPPY.
WHEN YOU SAID "LET'S MAKE A MOVIE!"
IT... IT MADE ME SO HAPPY.
Finally she was able to express her gratitude to Kazuya.
◆I JUST... IT FEELS LIKE... SHE'S ALREADY UP THERE ON THE SCREEN. (145)
The film was completed and all that remained was to show it. When she takes Grandma Sayuri to inspect the venue,
I JUST... IT FEELS LIKE...
SHE'S ALREADY UP THERE ON THE SCREEN.
HOW STRANGE... I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN IT YET...
The film was completed and all that remained was to show it. When she takes Grandma Sayuri to inspect the venue,
Hearing this, Chizuru is overjoyed. She smiles like a little child.
◆THE MOVIE WAS WONDERFUL... THANK YOU... (151)
Just before the screening, however, Grandma Sayuri collapses and the realization of her dream falls away. At that moment, Kazuya carries the projector into the hospital room and realizes her dream just in time. It was only for about 10 minutes, but Chizuru was able to show her grandmother she was in the movie.
THE MOVIE WAS WONDERFUL... THANK YOU...
PLEASE, GIVE KAZUYA-KUN... MY THANKS AS WELL...
Chizuru made her dream come true. Grandma Sayuri asks her to convey her gratitude to Kazuya as well. Her gratitude to Kazuya for making her dream come true is immeasurable.
◆The movie screening. (167)
The screening ends successfully. Chizuru is probably willing to spend the rest of her life trying to repay this debt of gratitude. She must hope to rush over to Kazuya and help him when he is in trouble.
Someone Who Supports Me
◆CHIZURU IS NOT VERY GOOD AT ACCEPTING HER WEAKNESSES (58)
CHIZURU IS NOT VERY GOOD AT ACCEPTING HER WEAKNESSES
INSTEAD, SHE HIDES HER WEAKNESS
BY WEARING HER STRONG PERSONA LIKE A SUIT OF ARMOUR.
Chizuru is always strong and right. But in truth, Grandma Sayuri tells Kazuya, she has both sweetness and weakness as a matter of course and just hides them. Chizuru always looks forward and never shows her weak side, but in reality, she is a normal girl who sometimes feels crushed by pain or lonely.
BUT SHE CAN'T KEEP THE ACT UP FOREVER.
ONE OF THESE DAYS, SHE WILL NEED SOMEONE WHO SHE CAN SHOW HER TRUE SELF TO
THAT'S WHY... I ASK THAT YOU
PLEASE PLEASE, TAKE CARE OF OUR CHIZURU.
The time will surely come when Chizuru will need someone to support her. Saying this, Grandma Sayuri entrusts Chizuru to Kazuya. Later, through the production of the movie and her separation from Grandma Sayuri, Chizuru realizes who is the one who can accept her weakness and who she wants by her side.
◆PLEASE... MY MOVIE... LET HER WATCH IT... (103)
When Grandma Sayuri's condition worsened, Kazuya rushed in to help her realize her dream. Chizuru looks forward even when things don't go well and has never shown any weakness in her life. However, this is the first time she relies on Kazuya. It was the moment when Chizuru showed her weakness to Kazuya for the first time, albeit only a little.
◆Dreams come true (107)
While preparing to launch the crowdfunding campaign, Chizuru was surprised to find that Kazuya had been working steadily on its preparation. She realizes that her dream, which she had almost given up on, is now running toward realization.
He used to rely on her all the time, but she is now seeing him as a very dependable person.
◆BUT I DON'T THINK THERE EXISTS A PERSON... WHO IS BETTER SUITED TO YOU THAN HIM. (112)
When Chizuru started crowdfunding, it was just when she realized her love for Kazuya (Chapter 86). It was Chizuru's first time in love, with a lover who was a lie, and she did not know if Kazuya would love her or not. She must have been anxious and confused. Chizuru asks Grandma Sayuri about Kazuya
WHAT DID YOU... THINK WHEN I TOLD YOU? THE TIME... I TOLD YOU I HAD A BOYFRIEND... WHAT DID YOU THINK... GRANDMA...?
Grandma Sayuri looks at Chizuru anxiously awaiting a response and says,
EVERYONE SURVIVES BY SUPPORTING EACH OTHER.
A ''PERFECT PERSON' DOESN'T EXIST.
THAT'S WHY, WHEN YOU LACK SOMETHING, YOU MAKE UP FOR IT WITH THE HELP OF ANOTHER PERSON.
BUT I DON'T THINK THERE EXISTS A PERSON... WHO IS BETTER SUITED TO YOU THAN HIM.
Sayuri tells Chizuru that a "perfect person" doesn't exist, and that is why you need someone by your side to make up for what you lack. She tells Chizuru that Kazuya is what she needs.
◆THERE'LL BE PEOPLE THERE TO SUPPORT YOU! I PROMISE YOU! THEY'LL SHOW UP! (136)
Shooting trip alone with Kazuya. After expressing her gratitude to Kazuya, Chizuru remembers her grandpa's words.
BUT HEY! BELIEVE YOUR GRANDPA, CHIZURU!
IF YOU KEEP YOUR HEAD FACING FOEWARD... STAY FOCUSED ON YOUR DREAM... AND DON'T GIVE UP...
THERE'LL BE PEOPLE THERE TO SUPPORT YOU!
I PROMISE YOU! THEY'LL SHOW UP!
Looking back at her grandpa's words, she gazes at Kazuya's sleeping face.
By this time, she must have already realized who she wants to be the one who supports her.
◆YOU TWO DID IT TOGETHER! (143)
The film shoot is cranked up. When she comes to visit Grandma Sayuri, she finds Sumi Sakurazawa, a junior colleague. There she learns that Sumi has been cooperating with Kazuya without her knowledge. Sumi then tells her,
KAZUYA-KUN REALLY GAVE IT HIS ALL.
HE'S BEEN SO TORN UP OVER NOT BEING ABLE TO HELP YOU AND YOUR GRANDDMA.
FROM THE MOMENT HE DECIDED ON THE CAMPAIGN, HE HAD SETBACK AFTER SETBACK.
BUT HE KEPT GETTING BACK UP FOR YOU!
I KNOW IT'S BECAUSE YOU WORKED TOGETHER.
BETWEEN YOUR PASSION... AND HIS SUPPORT...
YOU TWO DID IT TOGETHER!
CONGRATULATIONS!
Kazuya cared about her and her grandma, was troubled and worried, but still stood up and helped her to achieve her dream. Truly, it was a dream that came true through the power of both of them, Chizuru's passion and Kazuya's support.
In the hospital room that day, Chizuru was so happy that Kazuya was thinking about her and her grandma so much that all she talked about was Kazuya. When Grandma Sayuri heard this, she said that it was "the beginning of love".
Her feelings for Kazuya, who always supported her, could be more appropriately called "love" than "being in love".
While preparing for a movie screening, Chizuru loses her Grandma, the most precious person in the world. She is a stubborn girl, and she is left to deal with her grief on her own.
But the truth is that Chizuru's heart cries out for someone to rely on. At that time, Kazuya planned a date with her to cheer her up a little. He stayed by her side.
◆MY,,, "PERFECT GIRLFRIEND," SHE'S... (164)
MY,,, "PERFECT GIRLFRIEND," SHE'S...
PRETTY... STYLISH... KIND
BUT WHEN I'M BEING PATHETIC... SHE'S ALWAY'S THERE TO CHEW ME OUT.
AND SOMETIMES, SHE'S EVEN KIND OF SCARY...
BUT SHE'S A BRIGHT LIGHT THOUGH AND TRHOUGH.
HER SMILE IS INCREDIBLE... SHE'S CUTE...
AND SOMETIMES... SHE'S CRIES. JUST A BIT.
Kazuya says that since he has always been helped by Chizuru, now he wants to help her to let out that pain just a little bit.
◆MY,,, "PERFECT GIRLFRIEND," SHE'S... (164)
Kazuya was always there for her when she was going through a difficult time. The same tenderness that made her feel safe when she was a little girl by being hugged by Grandma Sayuri was there by Kazuya's side.
Chizuru cried and cried beside him and finally let out her great sadness.
◆BUT THEN I CRIED IN FRONT OF HIM... AND I FELT CLEANSED. (166)
BUT THEN I CRIED IN FRONT OF HIM... AND I FELT CLEANSED.
Chizuru looks radiant as she says this. Strangely enough, she does not feel lonely.
Chizuru must have realized that night who could accept her weakness.
The person who could accept her weakness, as Grandma Sayuri had said, was Kazuya. As long as Kazuya is by her side, Chizuru will be fine.
Someone who Will Make Me Happy for the Rest of My Life
Someone precious who says, "you can do it".
Someone I want to help
Someone who supports me
After Chizuru realized her love (Chapter 86), these three feelings were portrayed through the movie production.
I want to be with him, I want to help him if anything happens, I want to be on his side even if I make everyone around me enemy, I never want to lose him, I only have this person.
Whether she is aware of it or not, I think she thinks this much.
That would already be a perfect description of "someone who will make me happy for the rest of my life! These were Chizuru's own words that day when Kazuya said to her, "I want you" (chapters 49-50).
Chizuru does not even say that she loves him. But Chizuru must be convinced of that.
