Here.
This is your new face.
Because you make half-assed crap like this!!
Kyaa!
If you act like this everyday, then I can't...
You can't what? Say it!
- Stop bullying Mama! - Kouta!
MOVE!
Kouta!!
You're a boy! Stop crying like a baby!
Stop it!
I'm sorry. That hurt, didn't it?
Yes.
- Mama... - Hmm?
It hurts here.
Can you give the good luck charm?
Sure.
Anpanman, Shokupanman. (Red Bean Bread Man, White Bread Man)
Pain, go away!
- Did it go away? - Yes.
Shall we go to sleep?
[Divorce Registration]
Kouta stays behind.
I will be taking Kouta with me.
Don't fuck with me!
I will be killed.
- Hey! - He'll kill me!
Based on laws for the prevention of domestic violence,
as well as for the protection of the victim,
the court has issued
a restraining order against you for Kouta.
In other words, you have no right to meet Kouta.
But I'm... Kouta's mother!
Kouta!
Hold on, please stop this!
- Mama! Mama! - Kouta! Kouta!
With this, I'm going to meet Kouta.
If he sees you as you are now,
your son won't know you're his mother.
I am prepared.
That's okay. As long as I can be near Kouta...
I haven't seen him in a month already.
As long as my face looks like this, I can't meet him.
Please, transform my face so my husband will not recognize me.
If you really did not commit domestic violence, then
you should just prove your innocence at the trial.
Then, you can get custody of your son.
My husband is a lawyer.
I left the house, and for half a month have consulted various places.
My husband used his influence as a lawyer and would not listen to anyone.
On top of that, he resorted to violence against me.
I know that one day, the target of my
husband's violence will fall on Kouta... our son!
I can't stand by any more; I have to do something!
If you become someone else, your son won't know it's you.
Even so...
Even... Even if I become someone else...
I want to protect my son.
Excuse me...
Fine. I shall let you be reborn
with the face you desire.
Will you really?
Amongst these, who do you want to become? Choose whichever one you like.
These were...
originially someone else's.
Never reveal the existence of this place to the outside world.
I never operate on someone who has already had an operation.
Those are the conditions.
No need to pay any money, so don't worry yourself about that.
- Is it free? - It's not.
The compensation for the surgery will be... your face.
Kirishima Shun, once belonged to the United States Marshals Service.
As part of the US Federal Witness Protection Program.
he performed cosmetic surgery.
Granting people new faces,
he is known in the black market as:
Face Maker.

Kouta... Kouta!
Ah, hold on!
Is something wrong?
Ah, pardon me. I mistook you for someone else.
Guards still watch over the house.
He looks exhausted.
Ah!
I'm throwing it back!
- Here. - Ah!
Um... I just moved across the street. My name is Sonobe Miwa.
I'm Kouta. Nice to meet you, Miwa-chan.
- Kouta, that's rude. - Oh, no.
Nice to meet you, too.
Miwa-chan, you have the same scent as my Mama!
What's wrong?
It's nothing. Be careful and have a safe trip.
I will! I'm leaving now!
Reflect upon your behaviour!!
- I'm sorry! I won't be a picky eater anymore! - Kouta...
Let me back inside! I'm sorry! I won't be a picky eater anymore!
If I cause trouble with him, I will be admonished.
His stress is building up from not being accustomed
to doing household chores and childcare.
MOVE!
At this rate, his violence might be directed towards Kouta.
- Kouta-kun! - Miwa-chan.
Umm... There's something I want to ask you, Kouta-kun.
What?
Is your father... kind towards you?
- Kouta-kun, what's wrong? - Nothing is wrong!
Kouta-kun!
Abuse, huh?
Sensei.
If it's just abuse, then that's still preferable.
Because recently, there have been accounts of parents
who would calmly kill their own children.
Some monkeys and hamsters eat their own children.
But animal instincts are natural. It's cruel.
What should I do?
If I leave it alone, that child will...
Unfortunately, I am not here to discuss your troubles.
Then, why?
A month ago, I sold your face.
Sold?
In exchange for giving you a new face,
I obtained your old face. You should have no complaints, right?
For now, I only came to report. Farewell.
Please wait!
With that person, I... I will speak with my husband!
I am going to say, that I can't stand watching
Kouta being locked outside!
It's because I am an outsider, that I should be able to do this.
It's for that purpose that I cast away my own face.
Do as you like.
Mama!
Mama! You came back!
Don't go away anywhere anymore!
I sold your face.
Please tell me!
Who is that woman who impersonates me?
I'm sorry, but we have to uphold a code of confidentiality.
My life has been stolen by someone else!
- It couldn't be ... you guys plotted this? - You're wrong.
We don't have the right to limit post-operative action.
Even though I'm supposed to be Kouta's mother...
Even if it was only temporary, you let go of your child's hand.
It's inevitable that you would receive a fitting punishment.
My intention was to go and meet Kouta!
For we are bound by a parent and child bond.
Then, let me ask you.
- Just what is a "parent and child bond"? - Eh?
For ten months and ten days,
you and your son were connected to each other
by an umbilical cord. Two hearts beat as one.
- Even now, our hearts still beat as one! - No...
From the moment the baby is born, the umbilical cord is cut.
And that connection is severed.
He becomes a separate individual, a separate personality.
Akutagawa Ryuunosuke wrote,
"The first act of Life's tragedy begins when one becomes parent and child."
Are you saying a bond between parent and child does not exist?
If an invisible "bond" between you and your son remains,
then surely one day, your son will seek you out.
Iif not, I'm afraid you will never be able to take back your son.
I'm sorry to say this, but that is reality.
The Chinese food in the basement of this department store is very delicious.
Eh... it looks like real thing.
I hate green peppers...
That's okay. You don't have to eat anything you don't like.
- Eh? Is that okay? - Just eat only the things you like, Kouta.
Okay! Itadakimasu!
Mama, I'm going over to Godzilla's to play today.
Godzilla? What's that?
Eh? He's my classmate, Matsui, right?
Ah... yes, that's right.
Miwa-chan!
Ah... What's up?
Right now, I'm going over to a friend's house.
- I see. Take care then. - Yes!
Let's go.
At this rate, that woman will become Kouta's mother.
What the hell are you doing?!
Didn't I say to wear it in a way so it doesn't get dirty?!
I'm sorry.
How many times do I have to say it before you understand?
Kouta...
You can wear it without getting it dirty, can't you?
Hey! It's okay, isn't it? They're just clothes.
Huh? Forget it, I'm leaving.
- Hold on, don't take things too far. - Shut up! Let go!!
- You bitch! - Ouch! That hurts...!!
Stop it!
That hurts! Let go of me!!
What the hell... Jeez...
Mama, I won't get my clothes dirty anymore...
You're depressing so don't come over here!
She's doing such awful things to Kouta in my appearance...
You're a boy. Don't go sobbing about!
How about we put him in the storage room for awhile?
I guess this is part of child disciplining too...
No! I don't want to! Please stop...!
You're the previous owner of this face, aren't you?
I knew it.
- Don't raise a hand towards Kouta. - That's discipline.
That's just violence!
Never appear before our family again.
Kouta is my son!
- Now, he is my son. - Don't be ridiculous!
I picked up the life that you threw away.
I won't hand Kouta over. I am his mother!
No one will believe you with that face.
His "real" mother is right here.
If an invisible "bond"
between you and your son still remains,
then surely one day, your son will seek you out.
- Kouta-kun. - Miwa-chan...
- Hello. - What's up?
You know what? Your mother asked me
to take you to the amusement park.
- The amusement park? - Yes!
But, Mama told me I mustn't go off with strangers.
Your Mama asked me to!
And you know what else? This...
I got this from her to eat with Kouta-kun!
- Mama made this bentou lunch! - You can tell?
Yup! The wieners are shaped like crabs and the tamagoyaki have tuna in them.
And the onigiri is in the shape of my face.
You do remember.
Miwa-chan, does it hurt?
No. So, do you believe me?
Yes!
Look, over there!
- Maybe that was a little scary... - Was it scary?
Kouta-kun, you have to properly eat your green peppers.
They're bitter...
Green peppers are bitter because they have a lot of nutrients that are good for you.
As much as they are bitter, is how strong Kouta-kun will become.
Good boy!
Mama said the same thing before too.
But now, she says that I don't have to eat things I don't like.
I wonder why?
- Ah! - Oh, my...
The side dishes are escaping!
- What should I do? - Eh?
Mama will beat me if my clothes are dirty.
- Did Mama become another person? - Eh?
Before, she never used to beat me.
Now, both Papa and Mama beat me.
It must be my fault.
Some part of me must be bad, so Mama beats me.
Don't be surprised and listen to me, Kouta.
I... Even though my face is different,
I am Kouta's Mama.
S...Sorry! I'm sorry.
I said something strange. Forget what you just heard.
I came home just now, so...
Hey, such a big disturbance here?
How should I know? It seems Kouta made arrangements to go to a friend's house,
and when he didn't show up, the parents panicked.
Having to confront the cops... Think about my honour, will you?
I told you, I just got back from the beauty salon so I don't know!
Did you contact his class friends?
Not yet. Because I can't find the name register!
Nevermind, just go look in the station!
- Uchida-san. - Excuse me. Have you found my son?
We still have no news.
Perhaps, someone kidnapped him or something...
That woman.
Huh? What's wrong?
No, it's nothing.
I'm going to look around for a bit.
- Say, wasn't it fun today? - Yes!
Do you want to sleepover tonight?
But, Mama will...
Do you want to go home?
Kouta!
Kouta, what are you doing? Come on, we're going home.
- That hurts...! - Hold on...
Please stop! Can't you hear Kouta saying it hurts?
Unrelated strangers should keep their mouths shut!! Come on!!
It hurts... It hurts...
Kouta...
Disappear. If you follow us, I will notify the police!
Let's go.
Kouta...
- Miwa-chan! - Kouta!
Kouta!!
Ouch.
You seem to have gotten off with only a bruise.
- How about Kouta? - Slight injuries.
I am completely undermined by you. Encountering an eyesore like you...
Since you came along, my long-awaited brand new life is all messed up.
How did you manage to enter that house?
After I changed my face,
I met that man by chance and he called out to me.
Yuko! It was all my fault!
Please come home! I beg you! Yuko, please!!
After that, I was surprised when he forcibly took me back to his home.
He's a lawyer and a rich man. There was the life I had always dreamed about.
He bought me a lot of presents.
I thought it would put an end to my suffering in poverty.
You... For the sake of money.
Since that man was already beaten by his job, housework, and childcare,
it was easy to infiltrate the house!
And since the kid was starved for love, everything went exactly the way I wanted!
Hey, you...!!
That's why you are no longer needed within that household.
- Miwa-chan! - Kouta! Are you okay?
Kouta, let's go home.
- You're my Mama, aren't you? - Eh?
Miwa-chan is my Mama, right?
It hurts here... Can you do the usual good luck charm?
Anpanman...
Shokupanman...
Pain, go away!
Mama...
Kouta! Your Mama is me!!
- Kouta! - Stop it!!
Are you okay?
- I... I'm going to report the two of you. - Report?
What you guys are doing to Kouta is abuse! You can be charged with a crime for it.
What about you, kidnapping someone?
Is it okay for you to lose your new life?
Fine, I'll get out!
Hey, wait... Yuko!
You...
Your accusation of abuse is unfounded! You'll regret it!
Uchida-san.
Excuse me. My son has been found.
A while ago, we received a report from the doctor who examined Kouta-kun.
Kouta-kun had traces of being abused on a rountinely basis.
I...I don't know anything about it!
Please accompany us to the station.
It's a misunderstanding! It's just a misunderstanding...
- Mama... - Kouta...
In the end, I wonder if the child believed that she was his mother?
Mysterious, isn't it? Even though her visual appearance had altered...
I guess such is the bond between parent and child.
- Sacrifice... - Eh?
A strategy in chess where you sacrifice pieces
in order to hold out for a better condition.
Perhaps because she sacrificed her own face she obtained victory in the end.
Motherhood is frightening, isn't it?
- Checkmate. - Eh?!
